Original subtitles

[Victor] You talked about the adventures you were having

with everyone you hooked up with over the course of the year,

but you never said one word about me.

PREVIOUSLY

-Is this a dream? -[Bia] Yes.

[audience applauds]

I'm writing this story, only now in the form of a film.

My only condition is that I want to direct the film.

Let me explain something to you.

This production? I'm the one who's paying for it.

[Gabriel] I can teach you how to play if you want.

can you talk? when I get home. XO

[Luiza] Why? Where's Bia?

-So it's your ex who gets her hands dirty? -[scoffs]

I think that's really unfair, okay?

-Ta-da! This one is special. -Ooh, delicious!

I feel so bad for not getting here sooner. I'm sorry.

It's all right. You were working.

-[Victor] I don't believe this. -[Bia] Honey!

Come on, we weren't doing anything!

Are you so dumb that you didn't see what her intentions were?

You're making a film that basically says that Marcelo is the love of your life.

I just want to keep watching the episode.

The film has wrapped.

Vi?

-Vi? Are you okay? -[knocks on door]

Yeah. I just think it would be better if I stayed in here for a bit.

episode 9 the love of my life

[groans]

[sighs]

Hi.

I just wanted to tell you that I was wrong yesterday, okay?

And you're right to be pissed at me.

I-- I wasn't being myself.

I didn't do anything, I would never do that to you,

but I-- I screwed up, I let you down.

But I love you.

Okay? I didn't want anything to happen.

I'm calling to say I'm sorry, and I hope you will forgive me.

[grunts]

[door unlocks, opens]

Hi.

Hi.

You won't believe it. The burger shop was packed today at lunchtime.

Just from normal foot traffic.

I think they thought the prices were fair.

Word of mouth is starting to work, who knows.

Nice.

That's cool.

Nice.

[sighs]

Listen.

It wasn't about sex, yesterday, okay? That didn't even cross my mind.

I-- I was just lonely. I missed you.

But it's okay, I'll get used to missing you.

I-I want to see you go super fucking far. I want to see you in Hollywood, you know?

And, to make that happen, you're not always going to be able to text me back.

And-- And that's okay, I'll get used to this void I feel

-when you can't give me enough attention. -You don't-- You don't have--

You don't need to explain yourself so much.

We're human, we make mistakes…

I made mistakes yesterday too.

[sniffles] I--

I cheated on you with the lead from my film after I left here yesterday.

[sighs]

[crying]

I am-- [sniffles]

I am so sorry.

[sniffles]

I don't--

I don't like-- I don't like who I was.

I'm not that person.

I don't want to be that person.

It won't happen again. [cries]

-Say something, please. -What do you want me to say?

Anything. Anything.

Fight with me, yell at me, swear at me.

But please, please forgive me after.

Did you guys have sex?

[sighs]

-Why did you do this? -[cries]

[crying] Shit.

I don't know, haven't you ever-- [sighs]

Haven't you ever felt so-so shitty-- so shitty that it feels like

the only way to make things better is to make everything worse?

[sighing]

Victor…

What-What the fuck are you doing?

Victor, for God's sake, where are you going, Victor?

This is your house!

It's our house!

No, Victor…

Fuck, I'm-- I'm your best friend, man.

I'm-- I'm your person.

You have to-- You have to forgive me. You have to give me another chance.

If only for our friendship.

I don't want to forgive you!

-This, right here, is over. -No.

I'm going to my mom's.

-You leave too, okay? Pack up your stuff… -No.

-…and I'll come back when you're far away. -No, no.

-Let me by, please. -Listen to me! Fuck!

Luiza cheated on you all the time. You wanted to forgive her.

-Let me by. -Fuck, w-w-well, Júlia dumped you.

A-And Paula treated you like shit, dude. Giselle could hook up with anyone.

She fucked a soccer player, a country singer. For fuck's sake.

-That's different. -How?

You were the part of my life that I loved the most.

You were my safe space, my partner.

If everything crumbled down around me, you were by my side.

[sobs]

You didn't betray me by fucking another guy.

You destroyed the belief I had

that our relationship was the only magical thing I believed in.

Fuck, but…

that's so much responsibility to put on someone, you know, Victor?

[cries] I know.

But I'm-- Victor, I'm here.

I messed up once.

Fuck, you won't forgive me? It's me.

Victor.

It's me.

[crying] I'm--

I don't believe this.

Victor, don't do this.

What an idiot! [sobbing continues]

[Bia] This is me now.

Causing the person I love the most the same pain I felt.

The same pain that left me destroyed, broken into a million pieces.

Making him feel everything I felt.

For real.

Goddamn it.

[Gabriel] I was gonna break up with her, but I needed to wait until I was in…

[Bia] After three weeks of basically not being able to get out of bed,

I couldn't go on like that. I had to resume my life, finish my film.

-[Gabriel] I need you. -I never want to talk to you again.

[Bia] Fifty-seven.

I sent 57 text messages to Victor that he never read.

Never responded to.

When I counted them and realized the irony of the number, I stopped trying.

Fausto I really wanted to show you my film…

Is Helena actually sick or does she just not want to talk to me?

It's not that she's mad at you, she just thinks you were kind of stupid.

And the two things that Helena hates most are stupidity and infidelity.

How is he?

He'll be okay.

The burger shop is always full,

and I think it's helped take his mind off it a bit, you know?

Take care of Victor for me.

I invited him to karaoke with us tonight.

We'll have fun, okay?

[singing off-key] ♪ I tried to make it worthwhile ♪

♪ I brushed off the issues ♪

♪ It would have been enough But it wasn't for you ♪

♪ It lasted a little, tell me why It took me so long ♪

♪ I'll do you a favor… ♪

Yeah, I don't really think he's having fun.

-I tried. -[singing continues]

PILLOWS - LIVING ROOM

[Bia] This is me now.

Finally moving into a bigger apartment.

Trying to move on.

I've never seen you in such a depressed state.

Yeah.

-[panting, moaning] -[kissing]

Your lighters.

You left them here. Do you want them back?

[whispers] I quit smoking.

Did you find a new religion?

People change.

I don't change.

[chuckles] You try really hard to not change.

But I have no doubt you're a different person now.

-Uh-uh. I'm the same. -Mm-hmm.

[whispers] Really?

You didn't even ask me to sleep here tonight.

Because I know you won't want to.

In the past, you always tried, at least.

-Sleep here. -No.

[chuckles] See?

You don't want me to sleep here.

You're just sad and wanted to fuck me.

♪ Sometimes, in the dead of night ♪

♪ I imagine us both ♪

[sighs] You're perfect.

[Bia] This is me now.

Busying myself the best I can.

And sometimes hooking up with Gabriel to distract myself.

Are you sleeping here tonight?

It's a shame, but I can't tonight.

I have to get up early tomorrow to record some promotional material for the film.

[sighs] Lucas came up with it.

[whispers] Come here.

This is me now.

When Gabriel kisses me, I remember that he's the reason Victor broke up with me.

And seconds later, I remember that's not true.

It's my fault.

And I feel like a piece of shit.

Stay.

Please.

You're sad, and so am I.

Let's be sad together.

Or I can create another fake profile to stalk you on your site.

[grunts]

I quit the site.

[chuckles, sniffles]

How about I make you a burger

and you tell me all about what's happened with you this past year?

Do you want me to stay?

Be honest this time. Be honest.

100% honest?

[whispers] At least 95% honest.

My mind is on someone else now.

I loved you basically as much as I did her.

If anyone could pull me out of this, it's you.

[lighter strikes]

[whispers] It's working.

They all work.

They all work?

You can try them.

Yeah? I can?

ONE YEAR LATER

Marcelo ONE MONTH AGO

hello, yet another message asking you to talk to me again

Select photo - Select video

GALLERY - pre-screening invitation

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE VIEWING: 8:00 P.M. AT CINEX

Hi, I know that we haven't talked for approximately 487 days,

and you probably don't even remember that I exist.

And you probably have a beautiful family now,

with little Portuguese children,

but I wouldn't feel okay if I didn't invite you.

Fausto 8 MONTHS AGO

really? are we never ever going to talk again?

♪ Come on I'm on time ♪

♪ Never been late for the limelight ♪

Hey. [chuckles]

They're here!

I need some photos of him with Giselle.

-I'll come find you in a bit… -Of course.

-…then Claudio Lemos. Come on. -Okay.

-Who is Claudio Lemos? -I'll be right back.

-Just relax, everything will be fine. -[chuckles] I hope so. Thank you.

[Lucas] Folks, I am so happy, so proud of our film, Love of My Life.

But I'm not going to stand up here rambling by myself.

I want to invite the team and the cast up here

to present the film along with me.

[audience applauding, cheering]

I hope this feature film proves

that Giselle and Gabriel are much more than influencers.

-They are artists. -[chuckles]

-[audience cheers] -Whoo!

Please put your hands together for our two directors

who helped make Gi's dream a reality.

Bia Martins and Claudio Lemos.

[audience cheering]

That's it, guys. Thank you so much and enjoy the film.

[spectator coughs]

-I want to talk to you. -Get your hands off of me.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing?

What is this? Who's that guy?

I wasn't satisfied with some of the material you recorded.

Nor your editing.

So I called in another more experienced director to change a few things.

To make the film the way I imagined it.

But you didn't have the authority to do that.

Sure I did. Do you need me to send you a copy of the contract you signed?

Are you-- Are you happy?

Are you happy?

Are you satisfied now?

Are you satisfied that you won this little competition,

the fight over who is most in charge of my film?

Bia, most of the time, I don't even remember that you exist.

I wasn't part of any competition.

I actually think you are talented.

I respect you. You did a super great job, you told a good story.

I just called in someone more experienced to make it better, that's all.

But it's my story.

It's my life.

No. It's mine.

-[gasps] -I bought it.

[Giselle] Long weekends are something else.

Well, this is Marcelo.

He's ready to be grilled by you guys.

This is me now, hoping my friends will like him.

[Bia] I can't believe they changed my thoughts

into her talking to the camera.

It's so out of style.

This is me now, divided.

-[panting] Is it just friendship? -[funky music playing]

Igor's sweaty muscles left me wet when I woke up this morning.

[sighs]

[music continues]

But Mauricio's touch lights my skin ablaze.

[Bia] This is the worst day of my entire life.

[Gabriel] Bia, please.

If you were just gonna cheat on me, why did you want a relationship?

She's just crazy and jealous of our happiness, okay?

She's obsessed with me. She made everything up.

Trust me.

Trust in love.

[romantic music playing]

We are poetry, Bia.

We don't always rhyme.

However…

However, I'm forever drawn to you.

[Marcelo] Congratulations.

You came from Portugal to see my film?

Our-- Our film.

Of course I came, I needed to see it.

Congratulations.

Thank you for coming, Marcelo.

[song continues playing]

-It's really packed in here. -I'll be right back.

Be right back. I have to…

[Gabriel] Bia?

It was Lucas,

he threatened to give my biggest campaign to another influencer if I told you, okay?

He did the same to Giselle.

There wasn't much we could do to protect you.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

Let's not throw away this special bond we've built.

What's special?

Because this here, it's nothing.

I thought you were hot, I wanted to kiss you on the lips, that's it.

You are extremely disposable.

Bia, it was a pleasure working with you, okay?

I didn't work with you.

You replaced me.

Huh, is this your first time?

The first time someone has replaced you?

[scoffs] You're young, huh, Bia?

Let me guess.

You're not from Rio, or São Paulo.

You grew up wanting to be an actress, idealizing what art is.

The thing is, you're already getting old, Bia.

You're already getting old, you're not so sure anymore.

[inhales sharply]

But you keep searching for new opportunities,

because, deep down, you still believe that you're special.

You're not.

And you're going to be replaced a lot in this life.

Thank you for reducing me to a stereotype.

[chuckles]

[inhales sharply]

You are not special for being an artist, Bia.

This is just a job.

A job that has a lot of parties with open bars.

So let's enjoy it.

What's up?

Are you okay?

Get me out of here.

All right. Come on.

[Bia, on GPS] Speed trap reported ahead.

-Go slowly, it feels much better. -[scoffs]

I like hearing your voice. It feels like you're still with me, you know?

I'm glad you kept the car.

So many good memories.

So many.

Actually, I left it with my brother,

but I picked it up today because I was going to see you.

Who knows, I might have to carry an old sofa, huh? Watch the sun rise.

[chuckles]

Where are we going?

To the airport.

Are you in?

You and me. Just us two. Leave everyone behind.

Be happy.

What do you think?

-What about that ring you're wearing? -If you want,

-I'll throw it out the window right now. -Hmm.

If you ask me to, I'll chuck it out. Want me to? [chuckles]

You'll never stop womanizing, will you?

For you, I would.

[scoffs] How many girls have you said that to?

Honestly? Just you.

But dishonestly… [chuckles]

…I said it to the person who's wearing the other ring.

Does any part of you still hate me for not going with you?

No.

And are you still mad at me for cheating on you?

I don't think so. Not anymore.

And do you actually want to? Are you being serious?

If you're serious, we'll go to the airport right now and I'll get on that plane.

I'll go anywhere, Marcelo.

I have nothing left here.

The only thing I have to hold on to right now

is that-- is that this is destiny saying that we should be together.

That love does exist, you know?

Love like you see in the movies really exists.

That magic-- magic exists.

Life is not fucking boring.

I'm being serious, Marcelo. I am-- I am being totally serious.

Ball's in your court.

-It's destiny. -It's destiny.

Let's go!

Let's go.

Motherfucker!

[siren blares]

[brakes squeal]

[police radio chatter]

-Good evening. -[Marcelo] How are you?

License and vehicle registration, please, sir.

Please come with me.

I'm going to have to do a Breathalyzer test,

but wait for me here, okay?

Don't even think this is destiny giving up on us.

[Bia] This is me now,

saying goodbye to Marcelo forever.

But without saying goodbye.

This is me now.

Going to the only place I have left.

My mom's house in Brasília.

Making her happy by taking me to the drive-in theater to watch a film

-that won't make me happy at all. -Mom?

Mine.

Sorry for showing up without calling first.

Mom?

-[kissing] -[gasps]

-[screams] -[gasps, screams]

[grunts] Shit!

Sorry!

You guys, no, no, you don't need to.

You really don't need to. I-- I'm already going.

I am so happy to meet you. I've heard so much about you.

-[sighs] -Listen, if I had heard about you as well,

uh, we would have avoided a really unexpected part of our lives, you know?

Okay, well, this-- This is Silvia, Bianca.

Silvia-- Silvia is my friend.

And Bianca is my daughter, who I've already talked about a million times.

Hand me those plates

-so I can give Bianca a slice of cake. -Sure. Here they are.

-Thanks. Thank you. Sorry, again. Thanks. -Here, my love.

-Silvia, do you want a little slice? -Yes, thank you.

Well, I-I-I'm going to give you two some time,

because I have to go run some errands, so I can welcome you better, honey.

-I'll be right back. -No, Mom--

-Mom, you don't need to. -No, I need to run out real quick.

I'll be right back. I'll be right back.

I just wanted to say that I think it's beautiful,

that I'm totally supportive.

That my reaction was-- I think I was just really surprised.

-It's all right. -Okay.

It's just that I didn't-- I didn't know that my mom had this side to her.

I never thought my mom had more than one side.

If I had walked in on my mom doing anything else--

any other activity other than-- than watchi-- I don't know, watching TV,

I think that I would have been surprised.

I like your mother a lot.

Thank you. Thank you.

It's very-- Is it very strange to thank you for-- for loving my mom?

Very.

Very strange, but nothing about today has been normal.

[chuckles] That's true.

But tell me. Tell-- Tell me everything. I want to know everything.

Everything about this relationship.

Oh, your mother…

She's excellent in bed.

No. No, no, no.

-No. -Oh.

Almost everything.

[laughs]

[chuckles]

[laughs]

[Bia] This is me now.

The love of my life.

With my first apartment that isn't falling apart.

Paying the bills with my own money from my own job.

It's not film,

but advertising pays well.

They don't make movies about paying the bills on time,

but nothing makes me more excited now.

[Victor] This is me now.

The protagonist of my own life.

Following the legacies left by both my mother and my father in the shop.

Hey.

Just in my own random way.

Péricles hasn't written any songs

about getting an offer to open a franchise of his restaurant in another state.

I just know that this makes me feel love.

For myself.

-Yeah! -[laughs]
