Original subtitles

That'll be three forty-five.

I don't care, please, let's go in.

- No... - If you had periods you'd know.

And the protector?

The protector will be here for you next week.

Hold on, here's your change.

It won't be the first time I've taken it.

- Here. - Will you shut up?

THE IMMINENT AGE

Thanks.

- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you.

And you be careful.

There's a demonstration and it looks very bad.

Did you see it on TV?

Yes, that's why I'm telling you.

Don't let anything bad happen to you.

Nothing will happen to me, gran.

I don't want any more.

You haven't eaten anything.

Yes, I have.

And I had a good breakfast.

I'm always telling you not to have such a big breakfast.

Then you're not hungry at lunchtime.

But I'm not hungry.

Eat a bit more at least.

Oh!

You have to eat like this...

Good, good, good.

One, two, three.

That's it.

Hi.

Well? What have you got for me?

Let's see.

There's this.

Only two?

What? Trying to keep the bosses happy?

The thing is... I don't work for my mum and dad.

Have you got anything better for me?

Here.

Where are you sending me?

There you go.

- Thanks. - Take care. Have a good night.

Let's see, let's see...

"Let's see, let's see..."

I hope it's not far.

That way you can get some training in.

- Right, as if I needed it. - To work on those buns.

- Do you want to go? And work those buns? - Hey!

- Good night. - Good night.

Bruno!

Bruno!

I'll have this one.

Here.

- Hello? - Good morning.

It's Ana, the social worker

at the Porta nursing home and day care centre.

Could I speak to Mrs. Natividad Garc�a Lorente?

Nati can't come to the phone now. What is it?

A public place has opened up at the centre

and Natividad is next on the waiting list.

- I'm sorry, who am I talking to? - Bruno.

I'm her grandson, she lives with me.

OK.

We should start the paperwork

if Natividad wants to take up the place.

But we haven't asked for one.

As far as I know, the application came from the local social services.

But that was three years ago.

Yes.

But there's a long waiting list and it's normal to wait that long.

Sorry, which home did you say you were calling from?

The nursing home and day care centre in Porta,

on Carrer de la Maladeta. Do you know it?

No, it doesn't ring a bell.

If you like, we can arrange for you to visit this week.

It's important you let us know as soon as possible,

or you might lose the place.

Yes.

Let's leave it like that then.

If you have any questions, you can drop in at the centre,

and we'll call you back, OK?

- For the macaroni? - Yes.

And a chicken wing.

OK.

- Anything else? - Yes, and

- a tin of anchovies. - OK.

And also...

A box of biscuits and a packet of coffee.

Unless the coffee and the biscuits are for me, no.

Because you know biscuits make your blood sugar shoot up.

Well, a little coffee with no sugar is alright, isn't it?

Sure, so you can keep me awake all night.

No, no.

Well, I'll put cotton wool in your ear.

In your ears...

On top of everything else.

- On top of it, I have to wear ear plugs. - Then get a couple of oranges.

A couple of oranges?

Silvia Federici.

Hey! Why not something easier?

Thanks, now I know I'm safe.

OK...

Hermione Granger.

I was going to say Harry, but Hermione's more important.

I don't know how to explain it... OK, OK...

- OK, you're Obama. - Jesus, Obama!

- Me, Obama? - It's easy. It's a good one.

OK, I'll take it, but only because his is worse.

- Hey, easy now... - You're Torrente.

You always give me the worst!

- You're so Torrente. - Don't you have another character?

- Guys, please... - No, it has to be Torrente.

OK. What about Max?

OK, you're Shrek.

Shrek stays.

- I hope that's not a dig. - Of course it is.

- No, no... - But it's cool.

I mean, Shrek stays 100%.

Shrek is super important, he's got such good vibes...

I can't kill Shrek. Right?

Shrek stays.

It's between Federici and Torrente.

Alright, you know perfectly well I can't jump out of the plane.

- Why not? - Because I'm essential.

- What for? - To bring down capitalism...

She's got it all worked out. I told you.

She's an activist, she's a feminist warrior...

Countdown from three: three, two, one...

OK, now you press the brake.

- This one? In the middle? - Yes.

OK.

- I'm pressing it all the way. - Yes, press it.

If you let go now, the car will roll backwards.

OK. No.

Put it in first.

First.

- That was this one... - And...

- Like that. - There.

You've got the handbrake on, sorry.

- Release the clutch. - Release the clutch.

Slowly...

And when you're halfway...

Give it a bit of accelerator.

A bit of accelerator...

Let the clutch up a bit more.

Good.

Whoa!

Well... It stalled, it's fine.

Fuck!

Grandma!

Are you trying to start a fire or what?

Aren't you going to say anything?

Well, I hadn't noticed.

Grandma, can't you see it's super dangerous!

But... why are you shouting at me like that?

How old do you think I am for you to be shouting at me like that?

Pizzer�a Bella, your pizza order.

It pisses me off. I always end up doing the work.

Do you want to sleep here, or what?

No, no. I've finished.

Have mum and dad talked to you?

No, why?

Ah, no. Nothing.

What is it?

Well, I talked to them, and they told me

that having delivery boys was very expensive.

And...

And they want to use a big company, I don't know.

So I'm out.

I guess so.

But my pay's shit.

Yeah, I don't know.

I talked to them, but their minds are made up.

But I can help you look for a job or whatever.

I'm sure you'll find something.

My name is Natividad.

What would you like to know, Natividad?

Well, to see what the cards have for me again. Something good.

OK. Why don't we do a card reading,

and we'll see. I need to know your zodiac sign, Natividad.

Tell me your sign, my love.

- Capricorn. - A prudent woman.

- Which day? - January 8th

1937.

I see a man.

Is it a husband?

No.

I had one, but not any more.

- I sense this man's presence. - What's that, dear?

Natividad�

Can you speak a little louder? I can't hear you, love.

Yes, my dear, I'm sorry. Now listen...

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Hang up.

Grandma, hang up. Hang up.

I'm sorry, dear, I have to hang up, my love.

I'm sorry.

Do you know how much these calls cost?

I don't know, I haven't paid for it.

Of course you pay for it, grandma.

- Is it that expensive? - It is, plus they're con artists.

They can't tell the future or anything.

No, they're not con artists.

Right.

Nonsense, the girl was very nicely spoken.

- So she speaks nicely� - And she told me a few things...

Right. What did she tell you?

- Of course she did. - Come on, let's get to bed.

- I'll get your walking frame. - Already?

- What time is it? - It's very late, grandma.

Well...

On three.

- One, two, three. - And three.

Well.

It's alright.

You'll find another job, you'll see.

Grandma, I thought that

until something turns up,

we could rent out mum's room.

We're not renting my daughter's room.

No, I don't want to.

But grandma, we really need the money.

Yes, but I don't want to.

I don't want anyone going in my daughter's room.

It wouldn't be a stranger, it's a girl from the drumming group.

You can trust her.

Good, good! Very good!

I'm worn out already.

Come on...

More, more!

Hi.

Nineteen euros twenty.

Thanks.

So, we've decided on the size of the drill bit

and we've checked the size of the holes.

For the screws that came with this bar,

we've chosen a number 5 bit, to fit a number 5 wall plug.

OK?

So once we've fitted the bit, we select hammer mode,

which means the drill hammers the wall,

and now, nice and slowly, we can start drilling.

- Hi. - Hi.

Here I am!

- How are you doing? - Fine.

Good? Is that all you've got?

- Yes, that's all. - OK.

- Let me help. - Yeah? Thanks, Bruno.

- Wait... - Let's get this in...

Did you find us OK?

Yes, it was fine.

Let's go.

Well, welcome to the house.

Thanks.

This is the hall, we leave the keys here.

I'll show your rest of the flat.

My grandma's in the kitchen, I'll introduce you.

Hello.

Hello.

I'm Gloria, how do you do, ma'am?

Nobody calls me ma'am.

Well, I'll show you the rest of the flat.

OK. Everything OK?

Yes, yes...

The desk for your laptop, or whatever you like.

Ah, cool.

And

the toy kitchen and the fan

are only there because we didn't know where to put them,

but I'll try to move them so you've got more room, OK?

OK, thanks, Bruno.

- I'll get settled in. - OK, if you need anything, let me know.

OK, thanks.

Hi, good morning.

I'm calling from the Porta nursing home and day care centre.

- We called a few days ago to... - No, you've the got wrong number.

Sorry for bothering you. Have a good...

You could smile a bit!

More?

Come on, more natural.

Smile!

- I don't know how to smile. - That's right!

OK, look.

- Well? - No.

Don't you like it?

OK, the pizza shop.

How many years were you there, two?

- Yes. - OK, put Pizzer�a Bella, 2015-2017.

OK, now you have to list your skills.

- What do I put? - Well...

I don't know, things you can do, like...

You can work as part of a team.

- I like it. - And it looks good.

It sounds really good. "Teamwork".

- OK, what else? - Teamwork...

- Don't laugh! - What else can you do? Come on...

Problem solving. You solve problems.

Problem solving.

What else?

Punctual...

Punctual.

- Sometimes� - No, no. Punctual, punctual.

Punctual, responsible.

Well, don't go crazy, just writing down adjectives.

I have to write something.

It's like... You see cars go past really fast.

- A bus, something bigger. - Yes.

Because you're there and you think: what if someone pushes me?

But you don't step back. So it's like...

Right...

You don't take the decision to jump

but at the same time, even though someone might push you,

you don't step back, so...

It's so weird.

So how are things with Gloria?

- Fine. - Yeah?

Yes, and since it's only for a while.

Right. But are you chill with each other?

- Do you fart in front of her? - No way!

- No? - Get real!

How could I fart in front of her?

I don't know...

So you put on music when you're crapping so no one can hear?

I always put music on.

I knew it. Always!

Oh my god.

You see I'm a shy pooper.

But everything else was very good. Very good.

There. It's fine.

You can come and get the L right now.

Your photo will show up straight away.

Definitely.

On my Instagram too. OK, darling.

It's very important you can come in, because there are 17 subjects in the book,

and you cover them in 17 days,

and, you're used to studying, but

it's always easier to understand it, and so on.

Then, for the driving lessons, since you've never driven a car,

we have packages and we have individual classes.

10 classes are 330 euros.

And 20 are 650.

Remember you can pay it bit by bit and you'll probably need more

because Barcelona isn't an easy place to drive.

So that's 650

euros, 20 lessons.

Then you can pay for individual classes, if you want.

- That would be the price, more or less. - OK.

And it's in two payments, so it's not too...

First the 160, then the 94...

And of course, when you go for your driving test,

it's 70 euros every time you take it.

You pay for the exam.

There are the fees...

There's what the traffic agency charges, and then the fees.

And the scooter test?

The scooter test... I'll take a look for you now.

Just a second.

Look...

Nati, do you know where the bin bags are?

Nati?

Have you got bin bags?

Gloria, they're in the drawer under the hob, in the kitchen.

Thanks, Bruno.

Grandma. Enough's enough.

I didn't hear her.

Don't play dumb.

Gloria is living with us. You have to accept it.

I didn't hear her.

"I didn't hear her". What did I say about snacking?

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday dear Bruno,

happy birthday to you!

Yay, Bruno!

Gorgeous!

Oh yeah!

- Are we going to cut this? - Yes, I'm hungry.

Samu first, he's starving.

- I'll give you the biggest slice, Samu. - OK.

Thanks!

I want some too!

Max...

Yes...?

Don't you have anything to tell us?

- Ooh, what is it? - Don't you know?

- I don't know, I don't have any news. - What?

- He got top marks again! - Again?

- Whoa! - Are you serious?

- That's cool, congratulations! - We're very proud of you, Max.

Thanks, guys.

I did it for you.

More water, don't be scared.

- What is it, Bruno? - Go on, go on!

It's a scorpion.

Whoa, cool. Bruno, will you show Nati?

- Should I show her? - Totally.

It'll blow her mind.

- Go on, show it. - Let's see...

Check it out!

- It looks great! - It only takes a second...

Well I think it's cool.

- It looks great. - Take it off, Bruno.

- Let's see, Bruno. - You sure?

Now? Let's see...

It looks super nice.

Let's see yours.

- Are you sure it's ready? - On your neck? Oh my god...

- Wow! - It looks cool.

Let me see?

Whoa, bad boy!

One, two, three.

Two.

One, two.

It's a dead heat.

Three.

One, two, three.

Six.

One, two, three, four, five and six.

- From goose to goose. - Hey, are you cheating?

- No, no. - Yes!

Weren't you there?

- I was here, I rolled six. - No.

You were on this one back here, I saw you.

Wasn't I on the gypsy girl?

I don't think so. Are you trying to trick me?

In that case, no. Then it's from soldier to soldier.

Ah� From soldier to soldier?

Yes, if I was here.

- You're right, yes. - One, two, three, four, five, six.

No...

- Oh dear! - I don't know where I am.

O dear, we've got all mixed up.

Well, I'll leave it there.

But then you have to go from soldier to soldier.

Then you find him, the other soldier.

Here we go.

From soldier to soldier, so you roll again.

Because I'm...

A one. Ooh, it's death.

Death is here.

- My goodness. - No? Of course.

I might throw these clothes out.

Look, the Tintin T-shirt.

Your mum loved that.

- I'll throw these books out. - Yes.

Here, put that with the rest.

I don't know, I don't have a record player.

Where do we put them? Here?

- Yes, it's all for throwing out. - Yes, because I don't have...

Wait...

The bag's fallen over. There.

Oh, my Rosarito. I'll keep it.

I'm going to keep this one.

Let's see..

One, two, three.

Well? Were you going to tell me or not?

What are you talking about?

The nursing home.

They called me, and they told me, "There's a place for you".

And I said, "I don't know anything about that, no one told me".

The social worker applied for it, a few years ago.

Do you remember?

Well nobody

has asked me what I think!

And you didn't tell me anything.

- I didn't say yes. - Look...

It's up to me.

No one else.

No, no, no. I don't want to give it up.

The problem is, between my job and

the IT course, I can't do everything.

Understandable.

Have you got more oil?

- Olive oil? - Yes.

Yes, at the back of the top cupboard. There it is.

- Can I borrow a bit? - Sure, go ahead.

Thanks.

Good morning.

Good morning.

- A little higher. - Higher?

- Yes. - I'll end up painting the ceiling.

No, you just need a firm hand.

You've got it now.

- There. - Right to left.

OK.

Perfect.

You're a pro.

Well, I do what I can.

Whoops, I got paint on me.

Lift it up.

- Don't drag it... - Lift it?

Yes, so you don't drag the cloth. Perfect.

You can climb up here.

Yes, I think...

Here.

There...

Wait.

- You can reach the corner. - Yes.

Finish this bit, right?

�and the girl says to me,

"No, we'll clean that later".

I looked at the table, and they tipped out the meat...

When they left, the lad who brought the meat and her,

I picked up the meat, as best I could,

and I put it on a tray I found,

and I cleaned the table, because I thought it was so...

I cleaned it.

I had to pour a bucket of bleach on it.

I'm off.

- See you, Bruno, take care. - Bye.

And with one of those old straw scouring pads,

I scrubbed and scrubbed, and poured bleach on.

Until it was nice and clean.

I can't deal with this.

No!

- The look on your face! - I got a shock.

I was bursting.

Aim properly! Don't leave a mess!

- Are you going to pee here? - Well...

Disgusting!

Whoa, I'm getting it everywhere.

Bruno, mate.

Whoa...

Don't touch the lid. I'll help, it's horrible.

- OK but hurry, I'm bursting. - I'm on it.

Stand back, I have to do my flies.

Come on Bruno, I'm bursting!

Stop. Stop it!

- Hold that for me. - I've got it...

- Bruno, I'm bursting! - OK...

Jesus, I'm so...

Wait, I'll help. Don't fall.

- Don't fall! - Stop it!

OK.

- No, shut up, it won't come. - OK.

Occupied!

- Occupied. - So impatient, man...

- Hey! The light! - Idiot!

Thanks.

Sorry, sorry.

What are you doing?

Grandma!

Grandma!

Bruno.

- Have you got a minute? - Yes. What is it?

What happened yesterday?

I called you, but your phone was off.

My battery ran down and I didn't check.

It's just Nati told me you had to give her her pills,

and I didn't know which ones.

I forgot.

Right. But I think it's important.

What I can do is make a list with the times,

the pills you have to give her at each time,

and put it in the kitchen just in case.

It's not my job to give her the pills.

Yes, but, I don't know, if it happens again one day, or whatever.

Bruno...

It's not my job to give her the pills.

I'm not here to care for anyone.

- Imagine. - Twelve?

Yes. I was still in shorts.

- Where were you working? - At a joinery workshop.

There were three or four workers,

and I didn't mind the work, I didn't mind it,

it was nice but...

I was so young, it was a bit much for me.

Because...

I also saw...

Woodworking machines are very dangerous.

You can catch a finger, and I saw two or three nasty accidents.

I tried different things and here I am...

You have to take life as it comes.

Today it's one thing, tomorrow, another.

- Yes, just keep at it, right? - Yes.

We can't complain.

Grandma!

Are you OK?

Yes, yes.

Wait, I'll help you get up.

Come on. One, two...

What happened, grandma?

I slipped with the walking frame and I fell.

What a shock.

- Are you OK? - Yes.

Oof!

- I gave myself a shock. - Wow...

- What a shock. - Yes.

Yes, I gave myself a shock.

But I'm alright..

- Does anything hurt? - No, no. I'm fine.

Bruno...

Are you asleep?

Yes.

It's just...

If I have to go into that nursing home,

I want to know who else is there.

What did you say?

If I have to go to the home,

I want to know if there are a lot of people.

I don't know if there are a lot of people.
