During the birth of a child, an old soothsayer breaks a bottle containing evil omens and all the curses which famously come from witches' mouths afflict the community. The village swiftly disintegrates, and, eventually, most agree that they must move away from the ill-fated place.
When Mama Santos declares, "Something bad is going to happen," it becomes a bad omen and a self-fulfilling prophecy, rather than a mere statement. Her provincial little town quickly transforms from a close-knit village to a virtual ghost town. Few townsfolk can find work, and quilt and hate permeate the community, resulting in devastating consequences. As Mama Santos watches one resident after another vacate the premises, she utters with certainty, "I told you something terrible was going to happen."
