13-Dos oruguitas

Young Abuela Alma moves through her village, a holiday candle festival underway. She's a different person, young and full
of life. She grabs a candle and hops up on the railing of a
bridge to see the festivities. As she does, she notices... young abuelo Pedro, doing the same

he smiles at her, as she smiles back, she almost loses her balance. It's
funny, imperfect - and she doesn't take it too seriously.
As the festivities continue in the background, Alma and Pedro
sit talking... love beginning to blossom. Young Abuela offers
him a snack from her basket. He looks into her eyes as he
eats it. Butterflies swarm around them.

~Dos oruguitas enamoradas
Pasan sus noches y madrugadas~

Young Abuelo and Young Abuela get married, ecstatic, in
love... POOF! A photo is taken... and we...

~Llenas de hambre
Siguen andando y navegando un mundo
Que cambia y sigue cambiando
Navegando un mundo
Que cambia y sigue cambiando~

from that photo... to the photo in a frame... near the window you recognize from Alma's room in the Casita..Young
Alma, in their humble little apartment surprising Pedro with
news... she's pregnant... with triplets! He pretends to faint... then grabs her in an embrace, full of joy and love.

~Dos oruguitas paran el viento~

In candle light,Alma holds her newborns wrapped in their
hand woven blankets. Alma and Pedro look at each other...
love in their eyes...

~Mientras se abrazan con sentimiento~

Outside... a light glows... Buildings down the street are on
Fire. The unrest in town is growing out of control... men on horseback race through the streets... intimidating people, who run for cover.

Alma and Pedro look out the window concerned... then down at
their newborn babies... then to each other... they know they
must leave. Right now.

~Siguen creciendo, no saben cuándo~

Alma and Pedro have finished packing what little they can...
they are leaving their life behind... the cribs sit unused in
the corner of the room. A life they had prepared for that
they must leave. Before they close the door... Pedro takes
one last object... the candle from their wedding... and they
shut the door.

~Buscar algún rincón. El tiempo sigue cambiando~

With the candle lighting their way, Young Alma and Young
Pedro set out into the night trailed by a group of people
carrying meager belongings. We can see their town burning in
the distance behind them. This isn't lyrical, they are running and afraid.

~El tiempo sigue cambiando
Inseparables son
El tiempo sigue cambiando~

The group of displaced people ford a river... the river
Mirabel and Abuela were sitting by when the song began. As
they cross it... Alma and Pedro look at each other... we can
see Pedro is encouraging Alma, his eyes saying they will be
okay. Mirabel watches them... but as she does... the candle
in Pedro's hand flickers... and he looks back to see... evil men on horseback approaching far in the distance.

The whole group runs, desperate, through the river. Fleeing.
But the terrain makes it hard to run away. Young Alma looks
to Pedro, panicking. She holds her babies tight.

~Ay, oruguitas, no se aguanten más
Hay que crecer aparte y volver
Hacia adelante seguirás
Vienen milagros, vienen crisálidas
Hay que partir y construir su propio futuro~
