When I was a child,

The elders have always been keeping me to wander around

Or play anywhere.

I've been forced to stop doing what I love the most

Even if it keeps me away from being happy.

They said,

I put myself first over anything, or anyone.

They just don't believe what I'm capable of.

Because I'm not the best.

And will never be.

Lucy!

Are you still not done?

Hey girl!

I couldn't focus on my review last night.

You kept moaning in your sleep.

Really?

- You're lying. - It's true!

I even took a peek.

You really had a nice sleep, didn't you?

I think I dreamt of something like that.

Something that felt nice.

But I wasn't aware that I talked.

My grandma told me once,

that it was possible.

Especially when a person is tired.

Lucky you, having complete sleep.

Unlike me, who was up until morning--

Hello, Lucy.

Why don't you just accept

your sister's offer

to babysit her kid?

She doesn't have time

to look for a new babysitter.

She'll be paying you--

Mom,

What I'm after is rest.

The kid's too old for a babysitter.

And,

You know me and my sister aren't close.

You know how she is.

It's just for a while.

Just help her out.

This is your chance to get close to her.

Mom.

We don't need to be close.

Oh see, there you go again--

Aw! My baby Lucy!

Of all the subjects to fail at,

Art appreciation is what you chose.

I just don't want to lose my scholarship

when my general average is pulled down.

If not,

I'll have to go to my stepsister for help,

I don't want anymore debts to owe her.

Lend me that spoon.

So how's the

request your stepsister asked of you.

Well you know.

Every day my mom nags me about it.

I don't want to do it.

Where's her husband anyway?

What I've heard is,

he's too busy apparently.

He's a visual artist.

Well there you go!

Make him teach you about

"Art appreciation"

Silly!

Your face is abstract.

Hey!

This is "rare art".

Bestie!

Here's your stuff from my laundry.

Need help?

I'm fine.

Mister!

You can stop here.

One moment, Lucy!

Hi!

- Hi - Let me help you with that.

Come inside.

- So, - How have you been?

It's been a long time.

I'm okay, I'm good.

You're okay? Come.

Let's go inside.

I'm sorry,

I know it's supposed to be your vacation time, but,

I couldn't find anyone

that could help.

You know how it is...

- Here, give that to me. - No It's fine.

- No it's okay. - I can manage.

- Ah... - Okay.

Let's go.

Are you hungry?

I'm okay.

Come.

My gosh! You're so big now!

Come inside.

Come on.

Just leave your stuff here.

Alright.

Need anything? Water?

No thanks, I'm okay.

It's your first time here isn't it?

Uh, yes.

Your house is beautiful.

Thank you.

We did everything for this house.

This is the fruit of our hard work.

Lucy,

thank you very much

for accepting this offer.

But it's only for the meantime.

It's been hard trying to find

a good housekeeper.

Like I've said before

it's hard finding trustworthy these days.

Are you the only one managing

the whole house?

Uhm,

Originally, I had two people helping me, but,

one of them--

Come, sit down.

One of them asked permission to leave.

But the other one suddenly left.

Your husband doesn't help you?

Sometimes.

We do help each other out, but,

sometimes things just get too busy.

Mommy!

Oh, baby! Hi!

Come here! Come come.

Hi! Good Morning!

Good Morning!

Come say hi to your aunt.

Hello, auntie.

Hello.

She's mommy's sister.

She's just not able to visit very often.

Her name's Alice.

That's so cute!

It suits her perfectly.

And...

Ah! I knew you would remember.

She has the same name as that doll we had

when we were young.

Remember? That's when dad was still alive.

Yeah that's right.

It's because our favorite show was

Alice in Wonderland.

That's because you always dream that

you were Alice.

Hi, Alice!

How old are you?

I'm already seven.

Really?

- Yes! - You've grown so fast.

It's because we haven't met in a long time.

See what happened...

Oh, maybe Ace is here.

Is daddy awake?

I guess.

Let's go, let's go.

Let's go see him.

Is he awake?

There he is!

- Babe? - Daddy!

- Babe! - Daddy!

Hello!

Oh, babe.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to let you know,

that Lucy's here.

Lucy, this is Ace.

Hi, Ace.

- Cut the formalities - My apologies.

Babe.

Thank you.

Your sister is just so busy.

No problem.

I mean,

Not a big deal.

Babe,

I know you're busy so,

We'll be going.

I won't disturb you any longer.

- Lucy! - Okay.

Lucy!

Come, let's go?

Lucy!

Your most important duty here at home,

is to clean it preferably every day.

Don't forget to water the plants there.

So those are our top priorities.

And then,

for Alice,

These are what you need to do for her.

Her school bus picks her up at 9:30 AM.

Because school starts at 10 AM.

Okay.

And then she comes home at 3 PM.

So, from Monday to Friday.

Then for Ace, it's the same.

But when he's in there,

don't go inside.

Because he needs his space.

Understood.

During weekends

is the general cleaning of the house.

Someone will come over to help you.

- Okay. - But they won't stay long, so assist them.

And then,

here's the list of food that Alice can only eat.

Like I told you before,

Ace's favorite food is kare-kare.

That's why whenever he's busy,

this is the best meal to cook for him, got it?

Understood.

Do you still remember how or no?

- No I don't. - I'll teach you.

Do you cook?

Oh hold on a sec.

- It's hot! - No, I don't cook.

You don't? Why?

I just know how to cook the basics.

Ah I understand.

You know how to sauté?

- Yes. - Alright, good.

Just keep mixing it around.

And when the garlic turns golden brown

throw in the onions.

Okay.

I don't know why he never gets tired of eating kare-kare.

There isn't even any taste without the shrimp paste.

Maybe that's the thing whenever it comes to favorites.

I guess so...

So I hope

you can cook this for him.

It's very important for him to eat especially these days.

He's so busy preparing for his art exhibit.

You know what?

Even when I'm busy,

I always make time to cook for him.

Let's put the meat.

Why don't you try?

Alright.

There you go!

Full?

I'll go to the gym tomorrow.

I ate so much.

Better than not eating at all.

Just the smell makes me come out of my hole.

Of course! It's my cooking after all.

Alright, I'll go back to work.

Sure.

Bye, daddy!

Andrea!

- Your food is so-- - He's not really picky with his food.

He eats everything I give him.

Lucy,

I'll leave everything in your hands now.

I still need to fix some documents for my business travel.

No worries.

Eat more, Alice.

Okay mommy.

Alice, when you're done eating,

we can start playing.

I have a surprise for you.

Take a guess.

New doll?

Ice cream!

Yay!

Now, finish your food.

Babe.

Not tonight,

Can't you see I'm doing something?

- Im busy. - Come on.

Just this one time.

You're leaving.

Don't worry.

You can leave everything to me.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

You know I'm just very thankful for all of your help.

I also really don't want to waste this

job opportunity.

This is career growth.

Opportunities like these are rarely ever given

to women like you and me.

No problem, Andrea.

You are so lucky.

You were able to reach your dream job,

your dream house,

and a happy family.

Hard work is the key, Lucy.

You need to do everything,

just to attain your dreams.

If before,

you could only dream about your wishes.

Now, you need to make them real.

Again, thank you so much.

I have so much appreciation.

For all the help you are giving me.

Alright Lucy,

I've shown you everything that you need to do.

Everything's in your responsibility now.

I'm putting my trust in you.

Understood.

Leave it to me.

I've got this.

Okay, thank you.

About Alice, if she needs anything,

you know what to do.

And then Ace.

Always feed him on time.

Understood.

I've also kept in mind

what Alice should and shouldn't eat.

Thank you very much.

I appreciate it.

I got this.

So babe,

Let's go?

Again, thank you Lucy.

I better get going,

- I don't want to be late. - Take care, Andrea.

Come on, babe!

Drive safely.

I didn't know Ace had this side to him.

He probably thinks about a lot of things

That he can't voice out loud.

His strokes are also interesting.

Also dreamy.

Oh,

I'm so sorry.

It says in the--

Schedule that I should--

Clean the workshop area.

You don't need to do everything your sister tells you.

Especially about entering my workshop area.

I'm sorry.

It won't happen again.

In dreams, everything is more real.

What?

That's what I want to say in that specific piece.

I'm just playing around,

With different styles I can use.

Well, I'm sorry again.

Uh,

Just forget about my comments.

Just ignore them.

I'm no expert.

Uh,

I'll be leaving now.

Thank you for the insight.

And for your interpretation of my work.

If there's time,

let's talk.

Excited to eat?

Leche flan!

Ace!

Are you hungry?

Do you want to eat now or,

should I set aside some food for you?

No need.

I'm eating now.

Alright, brother.

Ace.

No need for brother.

Come eat with me.

Okay.

You know...

When the conscious is mixed with the unconscious,

and real life events...

When a dream is mixed with

reality,

fantasy,

it becomes absolute reality.

That's Surrealism.

Don't you get confused

about your judgment of which is which?

Between reality and dreams?

Who decides what's right or wrong?

Isn't it also the creator?

My works are the product of my dreams.

Are you also active in your dreams?

Because I feel like

I'm able to move around in my dreams.

Like it's happening for real.

Yeah.

Lucid dreaming

I think that's what it is!

Sometimes,

I'll just think,

about the things that I want.

Then I go into my dreams.

Really?

It's delightful!

You can continue your dreams.

Get some rest after eating.

I'm also done with my work.

And,

I'll take care of Alice.

Alright.

Thank you, brother.

Ace.

Hi!

Andrea! Have you eaten?

Yes, I've eaten already, thank you.

Hi, babe!

Where's Alice?

She's inside.

I'll go see her for a bit.

Uh,

I'm sorry, Lucy.

I didn't mean to--

It's okay. Don't worry.

More?

Is that enough?

Here's some more.

That's my gift for you.

I'll give you a different gift on your birthday.

You really didn't have to.

It's no big deal.

If you weren't here, who would take care of everything?

Just eat.

Anyways,

I have good news.

We've acquired a partnership abroad.

My good problem now is,

I have to leave home again,

after two weeks.

For another business trip,

to meet with the investors.

So Lucy,

I'm going to need your help once again.

You can stay here if you want

Or you can just come back,

When I need your help again.

I'll think about it for now.

Do you want some more?

Keep eating.

You want more?

Eat some more, baby.

Are you done?

More rice?

There.

Mommy's gonna be away for awhile, alright?

I'll be out for two weeks.

We're already in bed and you're still working.

By the time you're abroad,

is the time I'll have my art exhibit.

You promised me

you'd file a leave

so you could attend.

What else can I do?

This opportunity finally came.

And you know this is vital for my promotion.

You have always been self-centered.

No, Ace.

You're the one who's selfish.

Have some.

I'm okay, thanks.

You know what, Lucy.

There are just some people

that no matter how much effort they put in,

they still can't get

the happiness they wish for.

Maybe,

when you have the best of everything,

it is better appreciate that it's there.

What other people don't understand is,

how important to put yourself first.

That's what they need to appreciate.

Andrea,

not that it's any of my business but,

maybe what Ace needs is your support in what he is doing.

I'm always supportive of him.

What I don't want is, to look bad

when I do things that I didn't do on purpose.

What if

Ace wants you to also appreciate

his achievements as well?

I mean,

you should be celebrating your achievements together.

How can you talk to me about achievements?

When you're not an achiever yourself.

And here's some sisterly advice.

If you want to achieve something,

sometimes you have to be heartless.

Sorry for waking you up.

Andrea just left.

Uh, she ended up booking a ride

to the airport.

We didn't want to wake you since,

Her flight is so early.

And I'll be preparing to leave,

for a conference I'm attending.

It's okay, that's not real.

Daddy!

Hey.

Have some snacks.

Thank you.

I think about it too.

Lucid dreaming?

I think,

I get it.

That's why

I do my best,

to think

about my dream, then I apply it.

See?

Dreams are fascinating.

Escape reality.

Or another reality.

You know,

this nude painting is my last artwork.

The model for this is Andrea.

But,

you know how things turned out.

She's not here

So it's blank.

Maybe,

It'll always be just in my dreams.

where I'm able to paint her.

Me.

What?

Make me your model.

What do you want me to do?

Sit down.

Happy birthday!

Thank you, Ace.

You really didn't have to bother.

I even have a gift for you.

What is it now, you and your gimmicks.

Close your eyes.

I might trip.

No you won't.

Keep going.

Keep going.

- Just a little further. - Are we there yet?

Are we good? Can I open my eyes now?

Sure.

Have a look.

Ace!

It's beautiful!

That's for you.

But what if,

Andrea sees it?

She won't see it, you worry too much.

Don't worry.

Thank you.

I love it so much.

What luck! I have cake.

Where are they?

What the fuck?!

You fucking slut!

Come here!

Fuck you!

- Sister! - What? Who's your sister?!

- Babe! Wait! - Don't you dare call me that!

You whore.

Fuck you!

Ha?

That's enough.

What's enough?!

You are shameless!

Fuck you!

That kid is mine.

You will never see us again.

Fuck you!

- Sorry. - And you?

What for?!

Sorry for what?!

Do you want to be together?

Then have him!

Do whatever you want!

Babe!

When I was a child,

the elders have always been keeping me to wander around

Or play anywhere.

There's a lot of rules.

I wish this is just a dream.

But, what can I do?

Everything forbidden is delicious.
