In an alternate Peru where Christopher Columbus never arrived, where it never became independent, it was taken by force by the initiative of the Americans.
Forced to work, the people were forced to live in 6 towns divided by the country and being in the center of everything a great city from where the North American country would govern as a sign of power and superiority.
They were not interested in whether the people got sick or died; they were only interested in money and power.
Year 1922
(Auxiliary Hospital first)
Amelie: Doctor! Doctor! Please give me my son.... (tired)
Doctor: Here is your son madam, a strong and healthy boy; I can imagine how difficult it was for you to have such dedication to pregnancy and more so in the situation we are in.
Amelie: Yes... In spite of being a single mother and not having any support, I was able to make it.
Doctor: Leaving that aside, Mrs. Amelie, there is still a topic to discuss that I did not tell you about, as you know, you know the consequences of this pregnancy, don't you?
We are of course talking about your disease, I mean HIV, don't worry, the disease is still at an early stage.
But you know that at this time there is still no cure for the disease, we only have drugs that delay the progression, but they do not eliminate it.
Amelie: I know doctor, I know (sad).
Amelie: Doctor! And what happened to the medicines they were supposed to bring?
Doctor: You know how they are, they don't care about your lives at all; but I have to be honest madam and quickly, there are only medicines for one of you two, there are not enough, forgive me Amelie, because as a doctor I have failed.
Amelie: Don't worry doctor I have already lived my life and now I must give my son a chance, I am ready to do anything for him, I have decided!
12 years later. Year 1934
(Village V or Ramia)
An old lady, a close friend of Amelie's, walks by her friend's son's house.
Omar: Good morning neighbor, I think you were calling me.
Neighbor: Yes son, what happens is that I have an errand for you, look.... (She shows the boy a black dog).
I know it has been difficult for you to lose your mother recently, but she always made sure that you lacked nothing, not even your happiness.
Cheer up, time will heal the sad days, but this little dog will make sure you won't be lonely anymore.
Omar: Thank you, ma'am. I thank you for your understanding (takes the puppy and the lady's hands because she is an old lady).
Neighbor: And I have 2 more gifts for you.
Take this letter and this scientist's robe that is made by your mother.
Omar: Thank you... (about to shed a tear), you don't know how much these details mean to me.
Later at home
The boy did not keep an eye on the dog because of the sadness of losing his mother, but he took courage and decided to read the letter that was given to him:
"Omar, I know you feel unfortunate for the life you had to live for losing people you loved at your young age, however, son, life goes on, hold on to it, give yourself goals and be strong because I will always love you, I know you will not forget me, hopefully you will overcome the pain of now but do not overcome our memories or anyone's because, like the moon, they will return some night".
The boy releases tears of sadness and hugs the puppy while a silence and some barking comforts him.
Omar: (Thank you mom, thank you ma'am I will not let you down).
My goal now will be to find the cure for my illness, for the good of all, because I am no longer alone and neither will you be anymore, never ever, my dear "Solovino".
El Chico grew up with his faithful dog, every 3 months Omar had to pay taxes to a group that led the town or known as "Mafia".
It was very difficult for him growing up because he spent part of his childhood in the hospital to receive care for his illness, but it only got worse year after year.
After his 20th birthday he met a girl at work on the farm who reciprocated his feelings, but she found out about the big project that Omar was secretly involved in and it had to be kept secret because otherwise the central city would take it as an act of treason and execute him.
For the Americans considered that the people of the villages should not advance in any aspect, they should only work and pay.
Their relationship lasted about 2 years, but from one day to the next she disappeared and nobody knows why.
One day.
Mafia: Boss! Boss! We have run out of money and now what do we do?
Boss: Don't look at me, you lazy bum.
Mafia: Boss! How about asking the villagers for money?
Boss: Are you crazy or what? What if the townspeople find out?
Mafia: What if they find out?
Boss: Look, this world is not blind for the times we are in. If the rest of the countries find out that we keep the peasants enslaved, they are capable of waging a war against us and with this human rights project they are talking about, we are all screwed.
Mafia: But we are all family here, we won't say anything.
Later
Mafia: There, there, there! my dear "pobladores" (he makes the gesture of quotation marks with his hands) we are here to collect money.
Villagers: Collect?
You're crazy! You're insane! You're insane! You're insane! You're insane! We've already paid last week! 3 more weeks to go! Crazy!
Boss: Quiet! We've come to collect, we said! Take out your money.
Omar: Don't take anything out, what do you think you've been paying for so many years and now you even want to pay in advance?
Boss: Calm down Chiquillo, don't think you're in your twenties!
Omar is still angry because everything is going wrong and because there has been no progress regarding his cure.
Omar: What if I don't want to Cachaco?
The truth is that I have had enough, I am fed up with your manipulations, I want the world to know that here in Peru we are not free!
Villagers: Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Omar: Not like you people have been lying. Hypocrites! Omar receives a punch in the face that sends him to the ground.
Boss: To begin with my name is Lizardo, and to continue (gets kicked in the stomach) I'm not going to say anything, you heard me!
Omar: Look Pizardo, you fool, I'm not going to let...
Lizardo: Quiet! I've had enough, I'm leaving, besides, we've already made a lot of noise.
We're coming for the day of the collection and poor you, boy, don't give me the money because I've had it crossed for a long time.
(He grabs Omar's head and pushes it back).
Suddenly Solovino bites Lizardo's leg.
Lizardo: Ouch, get it off me! The rest of his group stares at him... Now! I said now!...Useless!
Mafia: Boss, what are you going to do?!?
(Lizardo pulls a gun out of the back of his pants)
Boss, no! He's an animal!
A shot is heard
Omar: No!....
