Maria Full of Grace Part 1

IN A SMALL TOWN TO THE NORTH OF BOGOTA, COLOMBIA...

EXT. ROAD . DARK MORNING

Maria, Juana and Diana walk along a dark, dusty road before dawn. The only light comes from the windows of other houses they pass.

They turn onto a PAVED STREET and stop at an arbitrary spot on the sidewalk and wait with several other people. There’s a minimum of ambient morning light; it’s cold, people huddle.

A creaky, old SCHOOL BUS lumbers up and everyone files on except for Maria. Juana kisses Maria’s cheek and gets on.

JUANA
See you later, honey.

The bus pulls away and Maria continues to wait.

INT. MOVING BUS (ANOTHER) . VERY EARLY MORNING

Maria sits by the window with BLANCA, also 17 but heavier-set than Maria. The bus lurches along. The seats are full of other people (mostly women), but there is no conversation only the sound of the driver’s tinny radio.

Blanca has her head on Maria’s shoulder. Maria stares out at the passing farmland and cows.




EXT. PLANTATION GATEHOUSE . LATER
Maria and Blanca get off the bus and merge into a small sea of people who funnel through a tall steel gate past a uniformed guard with steel-toed boots and a shotgun. On the other side, the grounds are landscaped and spotless.

INT. CHANGING ROOMS . CONTINUOUS

Maria, Blanca and about two dozen other women put on blue jumpsuits over their clothes, along with thick, rubber boots.

INT. EATING ROOM . CONTINUOUS

In a large room with long wooden tables and benches, about a hundred workers eat breakfast. There is a din of conversation. At one table, Blanca eats a roll as Maria interrogates her.

MARIA
So did you meet him?

BLANCA
I waited by the plaza but he never came.

MARIA
Are you kidding? He didn't show up?

BLANCA
Well it wasn't a real date. He said he might be there.

MARIA
(laughing)
How long did you wait?Maria Full of Grace (part 1)  Edited_e0075308_2040151.jpg

BLANCA
Don't laugh.

MARIA
I'm not laughing. How long did you wait?

BLANCA
It doesn't matter. He wasn’t really my type... Anyway... You see that guy over there?

They both turn and look at a GUY in a green jumpsuit sitting two tables away. He makes eye contact with Blanca and SMILES.

BLANCA (CONT'D)
He smiles at me like all the time.

The two of them GIGGLE uncontrollably.


EXT. HILLSIDE, BEHIND A SMALL BUILDING . DAY

The landscape is a poor neighborhood of narrow, unpaved roads etched into the side of a hill overlooking a small Colombian town. The buildings are all low - one and two-story . made of poured concrete and cinder-block with lines of laundrystretching from one to the other.

In back of a building, MARIA, 17 with black wavy hair and dark eyes, is making out with JUAN, 19 and skinny as a rail. Their lips are absolutely locked.

Maria Full of Grace (part 1)  Edited_e0075308_2153379.jpgJuan puts one hand behind her waist and presses her up against the wall. As he moves from kissing her lips to her cheek, Maria opens her eyes - looking rather unenthusiastic. Juan buries his face in her neck, but Maria is staring up at the pattern of a TV aerial at the top of the building.

JUAN
Let's go to your house.

MARIA
I don’t want to go to my house.

JUAN
Where do you want to go then?

MARIA
I don't know. Someplace else.

Maria gazes up at the top of the building and smiles.

MARIA (CONT'D)
How about up there?

JUAN
(looks up)
On the roof? Why do you wanna go up there?

MARIA
Why not? ... Come on. It’s not that high.

JUAN
What are you crazy?

MARIA
(fixes him)
See how you treat me? You’re a drag.

JUAN
Let’s not get started with this, OK?

MARIA
If I go up there will you follow me?

JUAN
(reticent)
If I go, are we gonna do it up there?

Maria Full of Grace (part 1)  Edited_e0075308_21163974.jpgMaria smiles. She turns and takes a good look at the back of the building. She puts her foot on a rock and pulls herself up to a first-floor window-sill. She finds a small ledge and continues to scale up.

Juan looks sure she won’t make it up. Maria concentrates on what she's doing - never looking down.

She pulls herself up to a second-floor window, but then gets stuck about six feet below the roof.

JUAN(CONT'D)
Come down. We’ll go to your place.

Maria places her foot on a very small protrusion and pushes up - she SLIPS but grabs the edge of the roof just in time and pulls herself up. Juan stares up in disbelief.

MARIA
(smiles, looking down)
Come on. Your turn.

JUAN
No way.

MARIA
Come up - I have something to tell you.

JUAN
Come down.

MARIA
No.

Beat. Juan looks around, at a loss for what to do.

JUAN
You know what then, I’m taking off.

MARIA
(exasperated)
Then go. I'm not coming down.

JUAN
Fine. You can come down the same way you went up - alone. I’ll see ya.

Juan starts to walk away down the hill.

Maria watches him go, down toward a small, isolated town ringed by mountains.
