Claudia.
EVEN THE WIND IS AFRAID
There's no need to worry.
It was just a nervous breakdown caused by that awful nightmare.
- And this is all she needs? - Yes, it's a sedative pill.
She needs to rest, mostly.
- Vacations start on Monday. - Great then.
- Can I see the headmistress? - Yes, she's waiting for you, Dr.
Don't worry, it's us.
How are you?
Fine, but the doctor says I have to stay in bed.
Oh, lucky you! We have algebra today.
Hey, be careful with my novel. If they find it, good bye diploma.
No, I'm almost done with it.
I'm reading the part in which she goes to her boss's place.
Anything happens there?
Are you serious? Why do you think I hide it?
- I only wish I was her. - You only think about obscenities!
Tell me about your nightmare, Claudia.
It was horrible.
I was in a dark place and there was a really long staircase.
Someone was calling me from up upstairs.
I went up and I reached some kind of attic
there she was
swinging around in the air
hanged.
Why don't we ask Silvia? She can interpret dreams.
- She read Freud. - That's why she's crazy!
She told me I had a sexual frustration!
And you don't?
Moron!
What are you doing here?
Miss Bernard says you can't be here.
Yeah, right! "Miss Bernard says".
If you go and tell her, you'll be sorry!
If you think you can scare me, you are awfully mistaken.
No, I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just warning you.
And now we're going to discuss a few things, honey!
Miss Bernard Miss Bernard.
Leave her alone. It's better not to mess with her.
We have to go. She went to spread her gossip and the witch will be here soon.
How does she say, Kitty?
"Young ladies"
discipline is unequivocal here and misbehavior won't be accepted.
I hope that's clear...
I hope that's clear, Doctor!
There are no privileges for anyone in this school.
Yes, yes, I know. But believe me
that girl is on the verge of nervous crisis.
Nonsense! We all have nightmares, but we don't miss our duties.
I think skipping a few classes wouldn't be so bad for Claudia.
That is exactly what she wants.
Sometimes you are too... naive.
All right, I'll be going now.
- It was a real pleasure. - Good bye, Doctor.
I'll go with you, Doctor.
Miss LucÌa.
I'd like to talk to you.
Don't worry, I know the way out.
Excuse me.
I'm listening.
I advice you not to question my orders in front of strangers again.
It won't happen again.
And one more thing.
I want to see Claudia in the class room in half an hour.
I bet the witch is the one who sent you back to classes.
She's always coming up with new cruelties.
That's all right. I was bored anyway.
Don't take notes if you want. I'll give you mines later.
Hey come on! It's not like I'm dying or...
Look!
You don't want to go inside, do you?
- Why not? - It's forbidden!
I don't care. I want to know what's up there.
Go ahead, we'll wait outside.
What are you afraid of?
I don't know. This place freaks me out.
Girls! Come here, quick!
- What's going on? - Look, it's open!
What are we waiting for? Let's go inside!
No, no! They could see us.
The witch is never here. Let's go, quick!
You go first.
What's wrong with you? It's not a tomb!
See? There's nothing here.
But what about up there?
What's wrong?
This is the place I dreamed.
- She was up there. - Oh, don't say that!
Don't listen to her! She's just trying to scare us.
No, I remember very well.
The walls, the stairs, the handrails...
So what? We can also see it.
Girls, you have to believe me!
I went upstairs and the steps made an awful squeaking sound,
and then I reached the attic.
Now, that's convincing enough. What's the door like?
It's painted in red and it's all wormy. It has a metal bar outside.
Let's go and see, come on!
No, wait! Don't go up there. It could be dangerous.
- I believe you, Claudia. - But you're going anyway!
You go first. After all, you know the way.
You see? It's the same squeaking sound!
What's so weird about an old staircase making noises like this?
Keep walking.
Let me go, would you?!
There it is.
It's red!
She's inside.
Claudia!
Come down immediately!
Going to the tower is forbidden and that was perfectly clear
therefore, I will not accept apologies.
- I encouraged the girls, Miss. - I'll keep that in mind.
But each one of you is responsible for your own acts.
You will receive a severe punishment.
I decided that you're all going to stay here for vacations.
But my parents are picking me up the day after tomorrow.
I'll explain them and they will understand.
But, Miss Bernard - I don't argue with the students.
That would be all. You may leave now.
Claudia.
Be kind enough to stay for a moment.
What did you expect to find in that attic?
Nothing, Miss.
- But the door was open... - That's impossible!
I have the key to that padlock.
Well, I don't understand, but that's what happened.
So, we went inside and it was exactly like my dream about that girl...
That's enough!
I know your story.
You should use that fantasy for literature class instead.
I didn't make it up! I swear.
I warn you, if you keep scaring your class mates with morbid visions.
I'm going to ask your parents to put you under psychiatric surveillance.
I'm not crazy!
I'm sure of that, Claudia.
Don't make me change my mind.
Yvette, is it true that you're all staying here for vacations?
Yes, that's what she said.
But... no! She can't do that.
That's right, Miss. It's unfair.
And she won't get away with it. My parents are taking me to New York.
Yeah right! And I had a date with a Maharajah.
Even if you don't believe me... you witch!
Please, don't argue now. I'm very worried about all of you.
- Are you going to help us, Miss? - I'll try.
Well, I have to see my boyfriend! It's too much abstinence already.
Kitty... what are you talking about?
Come on, Miss, you know what I'm talking about.
No, I don't! For crying out loud!
Look Miss! This is Armando. Isn't he sexy?
Kitty, pictures are forbidden here and I should take that away from you.
I think you liked him.
Enough with the jokes!
It's my fault for being so nice. That's why nobody respects me.
Don't say that Miss. You're our only confidant.
That's all right.
I'll talk to Miss Bernard.
She's an angel.
I hope the witch dies and she takes over as a headmistress.
Oh honey, those are really high hopes!
That hag will never die. She's a nightmare!
Please, don't make them stay here!
You're way too kind with those girls.
No, I'm only afraid to repeat the same story again.
That was a disgrace, an accident.
That's not true! We were responsible for what happened.
Lucia, don't make a scene! My orders will be strictly obeyed.
Fine.
It will to be your way.
And hopefully, we won't have to regret it.
- Are they gone? - Yes.
The Abeligas Gutierrez are leaving. They came for them.
- We're all alone, right? - But why you?
You're not punished.
I never go out. My only relative is an old aunt and I'd rather stay.
At least Miss Bernard treats me well.
She didn't even let me see them!
God knows what that damn witch told them!
This is my last year in this filthy school!
I'm sorry but your father is a real wimp!
If I was him, I'd have taken you out of here at any price!
I'm going to see Armando no matter what!
- How are you going to do that? - I'll tell you later
when the GESTAPO leaves the room.
Don't be like that... poor girl. She doesn't have a family.
Of course! Because snakes are born out of an egg!
Is she staying with us the whole vacation period?
I think so.
Oh, no!
That's extra punishment.
Keep an eye on me girls, because someone is going to die here!
Don't say that!
Enough with this nonsense and put on your uniforms!
But Miss, we just took it off.
- I'm sorry, but we have classes. - Classes? Aren't we on vacations?
Miss Bernard ordered and intensive course.
But, aren't all the teachers gone?
I'll help you out.
One more thing: Your relatives have been already informed.
You uncle left this for you, Silvia.
Miss, you promised you were going to talk to her.
I couldn't do anything. Please, don't motivate another punishment.
And bring all your clothes to this bedroom.
No, don't cry, Silvia. Ten days go quickly.
I'll see you in the class room in half an hour.
Classes! Exactly what we needed!
Claudia.
Where is she going?
I don't know. I think she's sleepwalking.
She's going to catch a pneumonia.
And me too.
- We better wake her up. - Yes, but carefully.
Sleepwalkers can die if you wake them up.
Claudia, Claudia!
Claudia!
What are you doing here? Are you crazy?
Why did you leave the bedroom?
I don't know. I heard someone calling me.
You were dreaming!
No, I can still hear it. Listen.
It's the wind.
No, it's a voice.
I heard it very clear.
It was calling me from up there.
It was just a nightmare. There's nobody there.
Besides, it's closed.
You see? Someone opened the door for me.
Let's see who it is, then.
Shut up! It's just the wind.
No, there's someone here.
Look, over there.
Let's go! Run!
And when we looked up, we saw her by the window.
She was staring at us in a strange way.
Was she really ugly?
No... all the opposite. And her hair is down to her waist.
And... what if it was your imagination?
The three of us imagined the same thing?
We have to do something.
I think we should tell the headmistress.
You and your gossips!
Well, she could spread some holy water around the place.
- It must be a soul in pain. - Those are superstitions!
There has to be an explanation!
There's only one. She's trying to tell me something.
Something that Miss Bernard doesn't want us to know.
What's all this?!
- It's just that... I had a nightmare. - She yelled and woke us up.
We got up to see if we could help her out.
All right. Go back to your beds!
Kitty!
Why don't you wear the same nightdress as your class mates?
Well, it was hot and...
That's no excuse to wear a nightdress like that.
It's indecent!
Don't wear it again!
The same nightmare you had before?
No, it wasn't that one.
Get some sleep, Claudia. I want to see you in the class room tomorrow.
Good night, ladies.
Way before uncle Tom convalesced from his wounds.
Legree forced him to go back to work.
And a life of sorrows started for him.
'Several weeks, the black man spent
repressing inside of him the suggestions of the evil force.
He remembered the letter to his old masters in Kentucky.
And he was praying to be taken out of that Hell.
Day after day, he kept holding onto the vague hope of being rescued.
But the days were passing and desperation took over his soul again.
Kitty!
Careful.
I'd like to know what's keeping you so distracted.
Nothing... I wasn't distracted.
Give me that thing you keep under the napkin.
- It's nothing, really. - Do you want me to take it myself?
It seems like you have your very own novel.
I'll keep this with myself until your parents come to visit.
Damn witch! I just wanted to slap her!
And your parents will be terribly mad!
That's not a problem. They already suspect about me and Armando.
Hey, quite a scene, huh?
When you gave her the picture, I felt shivers down my spine.
She won't have it for long, because I'm going to steal it!
- What?! this girl is crazy in love. - I'm not crazy!
I know she'll put it inside her desk and I'm going to get it tonight.
To the witch's office? Oh, my!
Oh, really? I totally believe you! And when will that be?
At midnight.
Look how brave she is! During the witches' hour.
Just to make sure you're awake... sweetie.
Girls! It's almost twelve.
She was very convinced this morning.
And I still am!
Anybody wants to come with me?
She's everywhere. Don't go.
Take care of yourselves until I get back.
I hope nothing happens to anyone.
We shouldn't have let her go.
She's dangerous.
Don't make us more nervous, would you?
- What if Miss Bernard finds out? - Shut up!
We have to admit that she's very brave.
Or that she's very much in love.
I wouldn't have left this room for a picture of Tony Curtis.
Listen to the wind out there.
- What happened? - Did you find it?
Yes.
I found something else too!
Have you ever seen this face?
It's her.
Kitty, I don't know what to say about all this.
I just wanted to take my boyfriend's picture.
No, that's no excuse. This is almost a misdemeanor.
I don't even want to imagine what she could do.
Are you going to tell her?!
No, but only because you had the decency to tell me.
I'm going to put these pictures where they belong.
Promise me, that you will never do such a thing again.
I'm sorry, Miss. I'm sorry!
Let's forget about it. We'll pretend it never happened.
And I don't want any gossips Josefina, is that clear?
You know who she is, right?
Of course. She is a former student.
Andrea Ferrone.
But she's dead.
Yes.
How do you know that?
It's the girl I saw in my dreams... hanged in the tower.
Nonsense! I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Ten minutes to go to class.
Now I know it's true.
Andrea... is back.
LucÌa, what are you doing here?
I'm sorry, I left the exams here this morning.
Isn't it a little bit late to pick them up?
It's just that... I was afraid I had left them elsewhere and
if the girls find it...
- You are very nervous. - Yes.
I got scared when I saw you. Good night.
Come in.
Miss, you wanted to see me?
Yes, Josefina. Are the other girls in the class room?
They just went.
Come here, Josefina. I'd like to ask you a favor.
Yes, Miss.
Whatever you say.
There's a dinner tonight to honor a model teacher.
Miss LucÌa and I have to attend and we'll be back a little bit late.
- Do you understand? - Yes, Miss.
You will be taking my place.
When I get back, I want to know everything in detail.
I will inform you about everything.
The students must have dinner and go to bed at the usual time.
Make sure they don't talk about forbidden subjects or other things.
- Did you understand? - Yes, Miss.
I'm sure you will be able to follow my orders.
You can go now.
Excuse me.
Josefina...
Thank you.
- I can't do it. - You don't have to say it.
As long as I pass, it's all right.
Why did you sign up for music? You're crazy.
My mom's idea. She wants me to be a pianist.
She never heard you!
- Nice reunion! - At least invite us!
Where's Josefina?
Doing her homework. She's a model student, remember?
You were playing? Keep doing it, it sounded really nice.
You must be from Claudia's family.
Yes, sure! Keep laughing, but I'm doomed to fail anyway.
Who can learn with that? They should have taught you like me.
- You studied piano? - With a friend.
And what did he 'play' for you, honey?
- And did you learn? - A different style, yes. Move over.
I didn't know you could play like that!
Now we're talking!
Come on, Kitty, dance!
- Yes, yes! Dance Kitty! - Come on, dance Kitty!
Everybody!
What are you doing here?
I knew this wouldn't last.
I'll tell Miss Bernard - I have permission to study piano.
But they don't! Especially to dance like that.
Why do you bother? She's going to tell anyway.
I was asked to report everything and make sure you all behave.
Oh, how nice! You'll have a lot to inform now.
We're going to fix our issues, which are pretty much overdue, don't you think?
Slap her hard, that'll teach her!
No, no girls! I promise I won't say anything... if you go to bed.
Go to bed? The party is just beginning.
We were even going to invite you.
- You can dance too, right Jose? - No! I don't know.
That's a great idea! If she dances, she won't tell anyone.
Dance or we'll kick your ass! You decide!
Dance, dance, dance, dance!
No girls! Don't be like that.
Play Yvette!
Please!
Very well, Jose! Very well!
Striptease, striptease!
- Yay! That's a great idea! - No, no girls! Please.
You prude! We need to learn all kinds of things in this life.
We never know what's waiting for us. No more clothes!
No, no!
- Don't be barbarians! - Leave me alone!
- Help me out, girls! - Please, girls...
Leave me alone!
Girls!
Leave her alone, now! Don't be mean.
Oh, all right.
You can't have fun with this girl.
And I was going to see my first striptease.
This one's for you! I'm an expert.
Oh, no Kitty!
Why not? Watch and learn. Music, maestro!
No, Kitty, no!
Baby, this is like Paris!
Kitty, don't be cynical!
No, it's not possible. It must have been your imagination.
No Miss, it was the girl of the picture.
Josefina, I know you don't lie. Is it true what they are saying?
Yes, Miss, I saw her too! And I think I'm going to see her until the day I die.
But you said she was dead.
It will be better if I tell you the truth.
She...
- She killed herself. - Here?
It was crazy. Five years ago, she was grounded for vacations just like you.
I knew it was the witch's fault!
Kitty! I don't want to hear that nickname again!
It's a shame that girls like you...
She killed herself just because she was grounded?
Andrea had gone through a lot. Her mother was all she had
a woman who worked really hard so she could study.
Her father had abandoned them.
During those vacations, her mother became very ill.
And she still wasn't allowed to leave?
We didn't believe her. We thought she was lying.
And one day they told us that her mother had passed away.
Poor girl... and what did she do?
She spent the whole day crying desperately.
The very next day, we found her in the tower... dead.
Tell us... how was she?
She was the best student I've ever had.
Intelligent and nice.
She was wonderful playing the piano and she had an amazing memory.
She loved heliotropes.
Andrea
what does she want from me?
Diego! Diego!
Who? Who is it?
It's me, LucÌa. Open the door.
Miss LucÌa, what's wrong?
I need to talk to you. Can I come in?
Yes, certainly... come on in.
You shouldn't be out, it's too cold out there.
- We could have talked tomorrow. - No, this couldn't wait.
Promise me that you won't tell Miss Bernard about this.
I promise. But, sit down.
Diego... do you remember Andrea?
Yes, that poor girl. How can I forget her?
Something inexplicable happened.
The girls think they have seen her.
One of them says she heard her voice!
You don't look very surprised.
No, Miss.
Who knows what happens after death that make them come back,
and wander around in this world?
Do you believe in ghosts?
Oh, no! How can that poor thing be a ghost?
So pretty and with those eyes full of sorrow...
Have you seen her?
Yes.
Haven't you?
How could I possibly see her? She is dead.
But she's still with us. Maybe she's looking for something.
No, that is not possible.
Let me ask you
do you remember how hard the wind was blowing the night we found her dead?
Yes, of course.
Every time I hear it whistling like that... I know she's back.
It's like the wind can feel her presence.
Like tonight.
Yes, like tonight.
Go to bed, Diego. I'm sorry I bothered you!
Miss LucÌa, don't be mad at me. I told you the truth.
It's all right, Diego... thank you.
I saw her, do you understand? I saw her!
Of course, of course. And if I keep listening to you, I will also see her!
Why don't you ask Diego, the gardener?
Have you lost your mind? Do you think I would talk to that superstitious old man?
Fine, you don't believe me.
But please, take the girls out of here before it's too late.
LucÌa, I can't treat you like a student,
but if you want to take your vacations, go ahead.
I can run this school by myself!
The witch is going to regret it! I'll my parents about everything.
- They won't believe you, Yvette. - Why not? They can ask around.
All the other girls are 'witnesses'.
- Witnesses! - Yeah, whatever!
They saw her, right?
- I think we should let it go... - What?
We can't even take a shower. One of these days...
- What's the matter? - Look there.
Do you think he's dead?
Don't go! Wait.
Who are you?
Please don't yell! Someone could come. I'm not gonna hurt you.
How did you get in?
I jumped the wall. I'd like to see Miss Penny.
You're Armando, aren't you? Awesome! You can't be here.
Yes, but I told her I was going to come. Couldn't you just tell her?
I've been here for three hours!
- Wait here. - Don't move.
What's the deal with those two?
I don't know.
They're just goofing around to distract us.
Don't pay any attention.
- She didn't get it. - What a moron!
Let's go.
Hey Kitty!
Come here.
Don't start! I'm with this 'junction of the spleens' stuff and I don't get it.
Exactly! We are here to talk about 'junction'
- What a hassle! What do you want? - I'll ask the same thing.
Me? I'd like to be far away from this filthy school.
What for?
It's pretty obvious! To dress like a normal person and see.
Armando?
Keep her busy. Don't let her follow us.
Where are they going?
They want to play a trick on Marina.
Hey, Jose! Can you help me out with this chemistry exercise?
How come? I thought you knew everything.
Please?
- Come on, just tell me! - Surprise.
- Armando! - Hi.
All right, we're going now. Don't take too long.
Won't you introduce us?
Oh yes, those are Claudia... and Yvette.
We heard so much about you.
Nice to meet you.
Well, excuse us.
Good bye.
- Good bye. - Thanks girls!
Claudia!
- Oh, boy! - Come on! It's none of your business!
Now, that's a real boyfriend. Not like that hippie who's after me.
Come on!, let's go.
I hope they didn't see you, Armando. They could kick me out.
No, but if they see me, just pretend that you don't know me.
Don't be silly. You're more popular than our books around here.
- I'm so glad you came. - I made a promise, didn't I?
But for how long now? Are you coming again later?
No, Kitty. Getting inside is too difficult!
- I'll hide until the night comes... - Yes, but
here? They're cleaning all this and the gardener could see you.
- What's over there? - Nothing.
- I'll stay there and when... - No! Not there.
Why not?
Because they say it's haunted and...
What? You don't believe in those things, do you?
No, but it scares me.
Even if I'm here?
No, not if you are here.
Here I am.
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought... Don't be afraid, I'm Kitty's boyfriend.
She's coming later. Please, don't tell anyone.
Lady, wait a second.
Lady, listen...
Claudia.
- Kitty! - Armando!
What are you doing here? Are you crazy?
One of your class mates saw me. She was up there in the tower.
That's impossible. They're all asleep.
Let's get out of here. I'm afraid.
Of what?
If you saw one of my class mates, she could tell the headmistress. Come with me!
Andrea, is that you?
What do you want?
Andrea, are you there?
Andrea, what do you want?
Here I am.
What was that?!
In the tower...
Get out! Get out now! Get out!
- Miss Bernard did you hear that? - Yes, it came from the tower. Let's go.
Miss, what...
What happened?!
It's Claudia! It's Claudia!
What are you waiting for LucÌa? Call Dr. Olivera.
That won't be necessary, Miss.
She's dead.
She was the best class mate I've ever had.
I still can't believe she is...
No! Don't say it. It's awful.
Why did she have to go to the tower? She knew Andrea was there.
Why did she do that to Claudia? She hadn't done anything.
What did Andrea get?
You never know what the dead want.
I'm leaving tomorrow! I'm terrified!
Yes, this place is haunted. There's something around,
and it's threatening us.
And the wind hasn't stopped whistling for a second!
I've never heard it like this.
Tonight... even the wind is afraid.
Have you called Claudia's parents?
I called three times, but there was no answer. Maybe they went out.
Keep calling.
Are you going inside?
- I would like to pray next to her. - You are tormenting yourself.
LucÌa.
Thank you for not saying anything, but that doesn't change what happened.
You tried to warn me but I didn't listen.
- I'm the only one to blame. - Don't say that!
It was an accident.
Like the other one, right?
Go with the girls and try to calm them.
Whatever you say.
Claudia, I'm sorry.
What...? what happened?
Claudia.
You're alive!
Claudia, you're alive!
Wait, I am going to tell the others.
Alive! You're alive!
Alive.
It was a miracle. A real miracle!
Maybe, but I don't share that theory. I'm more realistic.
Or more skeptical.
I have to be skeptical if we're talking about resurrection!
And how do you explain what happened?
It was a mistake. You thought she was dead, but she was only unconscious.
Diego, the gardener said that...
Well, I wouldn't diagnose anything about his flowers and grafts.
The doctor is right, LucÌa. We were all mistaken.
We were so nervous...
I'm confused about the other thing, however.
A fall from that height and no fractures or dislocations?
I don't understand. Anyhow...
- Have a good afternoon. - You too, Dr.
Doctor, I'm worried about something.
Claudia seems very affected. Like... distant.
Sometimes she doesn't even listen to us. She's always gone.
My dear lady, let's be thankful because she is alive.
And believe me, there's no such thing as resurrection.
Let's go.
Claudia, Claudia.
I was looking for you...
- What are you staring at? - Nothing.
Yes, we have class with the witch now. I made you the questionnaire, here.
Thank you, I already have it.
According to these two poets, literature and particularly poetry
have a mission to accomplish as orientor of the social thinking.
Marina, do you remember the other aspects of the Romanticism that we discussed?
Yes, Miss. They are the rebirth of the popular and the exoticism.
Very well. Those characteristics might be the most interesting ones.
Although, Claudia doesn't seem to care.
I'm listening, Miss.
Then share your understanding about these two manifestations.
The height of the popular literature is a reaction of opposition to the classical.
Primitive texts are edited and in some cases, they are invented, like Ossian.
Linda's Czech manuscripts, Merimee's poetry and lyrics and Glimka's Slavs.
As for the exoticism, it is known for a special predilection towards the oriental
particularly, Egypt.
And the Alhambrist trend is originated by the hand of Washington Irving.
Excellent, I see that you are ahead of our classes.
Where did you read that?
In Elmar's work. It's in the library.
Good for you. I wish you had done the same all year long.
Well, let's go back to our class now.
Claudia went to the library?
She got the wrong door, I guess.
Good morning, Diego.
Good morning, Miss.
What are you doing?
I'm fixing this padlock, so no one can go inside again.
Are you talking about me?
Everyone.
If anyone goes there again, Miss Bernard will kick me out of here.
There. Closed until the end of the days.
You said the same thing the last time.
Yes, but back then...
What...? What last time?
The first time you put the padlock. Right after... what happened.
And how do you know?
You weren't in this school back then.
That's true. I wasn't here.
I don't know. Someone must have told me.
Claudia.
What are you doing?
Studying chemistry. I don't understand anything!
Hey, who was here a while ago?
Nobody, why?
No... no reason.
I hope you finish soon!
Over there!
Don't scream. You're scaring it!
I got it!
- It's hurt, isn't it? - Yes, in one of the wings.
Let me see!
It's nothing. I think we can heal it we some cauterizing cream.
I'll take care of it.
- What's goin on? - We caught a pigeon!
It's so cute.
- Are we going to keep it? - Only as long as it can't fly.
I hated caged birds.
- I'm afraid to squeeze it. - Give it to me.
Miss LucÌa.
It's dead.
Who's there?!
It's me LucÌa.
- What are you doing up so late? - The piano woke me up.
Can you hear it too?
Of course. Someone's at the music classroom. Come with me.
Don't go!
It's her! Don't you recognize that music? Andrea used to play it all the time.
Would you stop with that nonsense? Let's go.
Andrea. It's Andrea!
Claudia!
What are you doing here?
Nothing, Miss. I just couldn't sleep...
And you decided to wake the others.
I didn't think they could hear me.
Go back to your room immediately! I'll see you in my office tomorrow.
Yes, Miss.
Wait, where did you learn that? You never played it before.
I've been practicing lately.
It's no time to talk about music. Go back to your bed.
Can't you see what's happening?
Yes, there is no discipline at all in this school.
No! I'm talking about Claudia and her strange return to life.
This strange ability to play the piano that she never had before.
Lucia, that was Chopin's piece and it didn't belong to Andrea.
The same thing applies for her traditions and behavior.
- You really think so? - Those are simple coincidences.
And if Claudia suddenly got a fondness for heliotropes, I wouldn't be worried.
I'm glad you brought it up, because I was afraid to show you
this.
- Claudia. - Good morning, Miss LucÌa.
What can I do for you?
Miss Bernard wants to see me. She said so last night.
Claudia, I'd like to talk to you. Come with me.
That cat never liked me.
Claudia, what's the matter? You have changed a lot.
Everything has changed around here, Miss.
- It's her fault. - Why does everyone hate her?
Bernard is tough sometimes, but that's the only way to run a school.
She's evil and cruel.
Maybe, but she didn't have much luck in her life.
Neither had you and yet, everyone likes you.
If it wasn't for her, you'd be married to that boyfriend you had.
Who told you that?
You did.
You told me about a man who liked you and she pushed him away.
Don't you remember?
Yes.
I told one of my students about it, but it wasn't you.
It was her... Andrea!
Claudia... Claudia, tell me!
How can you possibly know about all this if you never even met her?
Tell me. For God's Sake, tell me!
What's going on?!
Nothing, Miss. I was reprimanding Claudia for what happened last night.
I was waiting for you, Claudia.
Go inside.
Claudia.
The things that have been happening lately, have forced me to make a drastic decision.
I'll ask your parents to pick you up tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
You have the day off to pack your belongings.
And my last advice
don't leave the bedroom after dinner, for any reason at all.
- Is that clear? - Yes, Miss.
I don't want troubles. Besides, your health is delicate and the nights are cold.
Yes, horribly cold.
I'll see you tomorrow. You can go now.
Miss.
Thank you giving me one last night here.
- Who's there? - It's me, LucÌa.
- What's the matter? The lights went out.
Yes, but that's no reason to be nervous. It happens very often.
- And the students? - They're all asleep.
- I need to talk to you. - Now?
I'd like to ask you to let me stay with you until the sun rises.
Are you afraid?
Very much.
So afraid that.
I don't even know how I'm standing it.
But it's not because of me.
It's because of you.
Come on. Calm down, LucÌa.
You're too nervous.
Can you hear it?
It's her.
It's her!
Like the night...
It's just someone crying! And I'm going to see who it is.
Don't go out! You're in danger!
I have to put an end to this nonsense.
Go to the girl's bedroom. Don't let anyone out!
And take that candle.
- Miss! - Do as I say!
Claudia!
Miss LucÌa. Did you hear that?
- Where's Claudia? - I don't know.
We woke up because of that crying, but she wasn't here.
Come with me, quick!
Help me out!
Harder.
Claudia!
Where are you going?
To the tower, quick!
Claudia.
What's all this?
Andrea!
Claudia!
Claudia, dear.
What's the matter?
Tell me! Talk to me!
Miss LucÌa.
Don't talk now.
You'll get worse.
I'm with you.
Come in, Doctor.
Can you announce me, please?
That won't be necessary. You can go inside.
Thank you.
Come in.
Good morning.
Oh, good morning! Come in, Doctor.
I'm so glad you came.
I knew the directive board had rectified your position.
So I came to give you my congratulations.
Thank you very much, Doctor. Take a sit.
And how is everything going?
Fine, in a way. Those Police Agents were here yesterday.
- Everything's settled. - What's the final verdict?
Suicide.
And what else did you expect?
Nothing.
They would have never believed what actually happened.
LucÌa, LucÌa... you're a rational woman.
You can't believe in the existence of a ghost
who takes possession of a body to consummate a revenge.
It's childish!
Then why doesn't Claudia remember anything after her fall?
And how did she recover her personality after all that time of mental absence?
There are certain things that science cannot explain yet.
And it will never be able to explain this.
And your students?
They all stayed here.
I had troubles with some parents who wanted to take the girls out of here,
but I convinced them to stay.
It makes sense. They like you very much... even Josefina.
Yes, she's changed now. She's no longer a gossipy.
A clever work you did.
I tried to be understanding. This school needed some happiness.
I noticed.
This school looks nothing like the one it used to be.
And he's coming back tonight after what happened?
Armando really does have a lot of guts.
Men should be like that or do something else.
Like what?
Never mind.
Is there anything wrong?
You forgot to put the padlock, Diego.
What for? It won't be necessary.
Nobody is going inside and nobody is coming out of there.
Diego... you saw her too, right? It wasn't just a dream I had.
Forget about it now and pretend it never happened.
It will be very difficult.
Every time I walk near that tower, I feel like I'm going to see her.
No.
Don't be afraid.
She's gone.
Gone for good.
THE END.
