Original subtitles

Naty, I don’t know what we’re doing here.

I haven't studied acting and neither have you, sweetheart.

But it’s easy, I act for my grandmother all the time

and she believes every word. That’s being an actress.

What about experience?

Oh, Lorena you really make a mountain out of a molehill.

We say we have experience acting, end of story. Relax, sweetie.

I don’t know but those girls are really pretty. Look at them.

We look even prettier.

-I'm going. -Where are you going?

If you leave, these girls will beat us.

Hey, no, no. Come on.

Okay, give me the application.

Lorena. Lorena, but this is empty.

-Oh, sorry. -Where have you studied acting?

-No. -Okay, fine.

You haven’t studied acting. But you have some experience, right?

-Yes, we have experience. -In what?

We have experience.

It doesn’t matter. You can't be actresses.

-No? -Maybe as extras. Maybe.

This is too much. Here.

What is this for?

For you to wash it! Put it on.

Go and wait over there, please.

We’ll take your pictures. Next.

That’s really great. Divine. Here.

Good. Give me a twirl. Good, next.

Cry, you’re shivering from the cold. Now it’s hot, really hot!

Good, that's better. Hey, Missy!

The other shoulder, that’s it. Give me a profile.

Give me a smile, natural. That’s it.

Wow, sweetheart! You work out, right? Oh, God.

Next girl!

Very good, next girl. That’s it! Perfect, next.

Make the smile natural, let it flow. Let’s see.

No, sweetie, you look like a spider. I don’t know.

There’s something l don’t like. Who said that you could be a model?

To be an actress, you have to give yourself over to the camera.

Look at him, give yourself over. But not like that.

No! I want it all to be natural.

God, what did I do to deserve this? Is this karma?

Oh, no!

That’s it, good, natural. You’re great, you’re fantastic.

That is a natural smile. Very good! That’s it!

Look at him as if he were an ice cream, a chocolate bar.

That’s it, sweetie! That's really good. Give me a twirl.

Look at the photographer. That’s it! Very good!

That is wonderful, that’s spectacular.

Look at him, you want him. Yes! That is fabulous.

See, sweetheart. You can learn how it’s done.

I WANT TO BE A STAR

My sister deserves it all, even if she isn't blood.

I know, but what about the debt we got into sending her to Europe?

Or the expensive car we bought for her graduation?

-Grandma, I’m so happy! -Did they accept you?

No, but they said they'd call.

That doesn’t matter, my dears.

You'll get what is yours and nobody can take it away from you.

Mrs. Maria.

Mrs. Maria, could you lend me money for a soda?

No, miss. Nataly, buy your friend a soda.

Thank you, Mrs. Maria.

Oh, this is great.

Do you know what? This is the best opportunity

to catch a famous husband.

Not a loser like Lorena's husband.

Don’t look at me like that, it’s true.

Your husband is a crook and everyone knows it.

God, don't let my sweet child end up with a man like that.

How horrible.

-Good morning, Mrs. Maria. -Good morning, how are you?

Can I have some detergent, please?

Don’t worry. Don’t listen to my grandma.

You’re very lucky to have a man like Julian.

If you weren’t together, I'd have stolen him ages ago.

Hey, stop being stupid and walk me home.

Mrs. Maria, thank you so much.

See you later, my dear.

-¿Can you put it on my tab, please? -Of course.

-That’s very kind. -Have a nice day.

I’m so glad for my little girl.

What’s going on, Elkin?

Look.

Good as new.

You know, right?

Don’t sell it for cheap or they’ll know it was stolen.

It is stolen, right?

Hey, where are you going? Careful with the kid.

-He’s a cool kid. -He's an idiot.

You better watch yourself.

Same to you.

Hello, Mrs. Adela.

Hi, Mum. How are you?

-Hey, darling. How did it go? -Well, very well.

Yeah, they might give us jobs as actresses.

Yes.

I need you to help me wash those clothes, okay?

Be careful with Doctor Urrutia’s clothes

because she complained about her silk pyjamas.

Mum.

Do you know what I’m trying to tell you?

Well don't complain about having no money.

Your husband won't even buy you a soda, right?

You can work for it, but you know how?

By the sweat of your brow, sweetie.

Well I think that maybe dreams can come true.

And maybe I can become a great actress.

Yes, we are both going to be great actresses, not just you.

Be real, darling, put your feet on the ground.

I’ve been a domestic servant my whole life.

Now I have lots of clients and work from home. Good.

Look, Mum.

I’m grateful you’ve raised me by washing other people’s dirt out,

but I want something else for my life.

I want to become a star. I want to be a great actress.

Hey, friend, you know what? I’ll support you.

Because we're both going to become big stars.

Friends? I’ll believe that when I see it.

My boy is here.

Movie star, wash those clothes. All of them.

-Want some help? -No, it’s fine.

You'll ruin your nails.

Hey girl, wake up. Hey! Did you fall asleep?

You're silly.

Lori, I’d better get going, my grandma is waiting for me.

Bye, Lori. Speak to you later.

Stop it!

Don’t you dare touch my daughter or you’ll have me to deal with.

It’s her fault, look at the way she’s dressed, show-off.

-What’s wrong? -Look how you’re dressed.

Take care of your own husband instead of getting mine all excited.

-What do you mean, excited, Mum? -Go away.

Get out of here.

What about you? Shouting and ordering me about?

You respect me, okay?

Ha, yeah.

What’s going on, sweet thing?

Julian, look what arrived.

You haven’t paid the rent this month.

If it’s not paid today, they’ll kick us out.

I’m tired of this every month.

Calm down, baby.

Calm down, baby, is that all you can say?

Julian, stop being a jerk. I paid the rent last month.

I’m tired of this loser being in my house.

Okay, calm down.

He's on the sofa eating, he wouldn’t hurt a fly.

You know what? We’re in the money.

We did some business.

Want to see?

No need to count it, right, buddy?

Hey. Cool it, Julian. Why so aggressive?

Oh, no.

Talk later.

Hey, behave.

Wait a sec.

-Look what you've done to me. -Wait.

-Remember the casting I went to? -What casting?

The casting I went to with Nataly.

-With Nataly? -Yes.

No, no. Tell me later.

Wait a second, wait.

-Hello? -Hello, Lorena?

Lorena, how are you?

This is Vede from the TV station, from the extras casting agency.

-Am I interrupting? -No, it's okay.

Really? Great.

Another thing, if you want, you can tell your friend,

the girl that you came with, if she wants to,

she can be part of the production.

Yeah, she can be in the background, like a tree.

Alright, okay. Thanks.

Oh, yes sir, thank you.

We got in.

We got in.

Alright, as you can see girls,

this is the set with all the presenter's games.

What's his name?

-Luis Pinto. -Luis Pinto, very good.

Watch the camera.

Follow me.

That’s right.

-If you’re looking for a husband... -This way.

-Ana Karina. -Sweetheart!

-Hi there. -Hey.

Hi girls, how’s it going?

Well, let me introduce you to Ana Karina,

who plays Marcela in which soap?

-All for Love. -All for Love, very good.

Lori, take a picture of me.

-Come on, don’t be jealous. -Alright.

-Just one photo. -Just one because she’s studying.

She’s concentrating and she has to work.

-Beautiful. Bye. -That’s it.

-You're divine. -This way, girls.

Bye, girls. Good luck.

Be careful behind here.

Oh my God, Miguel.

Let's concentrate and relax.

-This one is for you. -Wow, for me?

-And this is for you. -Sorry, this is really short.

Get changed. They’re waiting in studio three.

Alright.

Where do we get changed?

Where do you think, Lori? Everyone is getting changed here.

I’m getting changed now.

-Hello. -Hello, darling.

The directors are late.

Fine. You know I like seeing you.

We're talking about ratings, I want your show to be the centrepiece.

Especially since the director is my husband.

I can't wait to get home tonight.

Really? What do you plan to do to me?

All those nice little things that you like.

When are we going to do something?

-Me? -I need you both. Come on.

Naty!

It's great we’re acting with all these famous actors.

Especially with that hunk Eduardo Gonzola.

-Hey! -He is gorgeous.

Quiet!

But don’t leave me alone.

No, I won’t leave you alone.

Okay...

You, over here please.

-Yes. -Come on, we have 20 scenes left.

No, you come this way please.

And sit down here.

That’s right, good.

Lights, how are the lights?

Hello.

He's gorgeous.

Silence on the set, ready to record.

Rolling in five, four, three, two, action.

Close on one.

Hello, darling.

I want one of those sweets, please.

Of course, my love, these are the ones you like.

-There. -Say thank you.

-Thank you. -Don’t be silly, stop hiding.

You never learn, do you? Of course.

You can’t live without your daily beating from that loser.

Adela, come on, darling.

Look, take some advice from a friend, leave him.

Change your life for God’s sake, for you and your child.

But where would I go?

Do you know that my Natalia and Lorena are playing extras on a soap?

-No. -You didn’t know?

Dear, your daughter is the one who's going to get you out of this hole.

Sure, that’s why she hasn’t helped me with the clothes lately.

Gallivanting about, who knows where,

chasing false dreams.

Maria, would you do me a favour?

Can you lend me money for food?

Elkin left this morning and didn’t leave any money.

How strange!

What I’m worried about right now is,

how are we going to save this restaurant?

What do we do?

-He acts like he owns the place. -As always.

You, instead of drinking,

pay attention to your wife, she's got my husband all excited.

It isn't funny.

I pay her to help with the laundry, and lend her rent money.

Thank you, Maria. Put it on my tab.

-Yes, no problem. -Say thank you.

-Thank you. -Bye, my love. Have a good day.

-Hello, darling. -Hello.

-How are you? -What are you doing here?

-I came to see you. -Ana Karina, what are you doing?

-I can’t touch you? -No, no.

-I closed the door. -Someone could come in.

-Did they see you come in? -Nothing’s going to happen.

Okay, nothing’s going to happen. Wait, no, no, no.

What are you doing, Ana Karina? I told you...

Police, police! I’ve been robbed!

I almost got caught.

You know what? Seeing you like that makes me want you.

Julian, you only think about sex.

Yes, I do.

What do you want me to think about?

You should think about getting a decent job.

Somewhere decent.

I don’t like you being a thief, or what the neighbours say.

I’m tired of running so I don’t get caught.

Julian, you have no shame.

I’m telling you because I love you.

If you keep doing this, you’ll end up in a bad way.

Here you go, see?

You think this is enough?

I’m tired of paying everything myself.

You like what I do, right?

Don't you?

-I have to go. -Where?

-What are you doing? -I have to go.

Seriously, you’re leaving?

Come on babe, I’m serious. Get dressed, I have to go.

-Really? -Yes.

-You’ll have to drive me. -Go on babe, get dressed.

Get dressed.

-Are you serious? -Here’s money for the taxi. Here.

This is humiliating. What is wrong with you?

I left my shirt outside. See you later.

Idiot.

Hello, darling. That’s pretty.

-You like it? It’s for you. -It’s lovely.

Sorry, darling, but the truth is I’m really tired

and I’d rather lie down for a while.

Really?

Have a drink.

It’s the one you like.

-Sweetheart, no. I don’t want to. -But it’s the one you like.

I’m tired. I’ve been working on the scenes for tomorrow, for next week,

the locations, so many things to change.

I’m just tired, okay?

Lately you haven’t even looked at me.

I’m fed up with you blaming the damn soap opera.

Why don’t you just leave it?

What? Are you crazy?

Crazy? No, I’m serious.

I need some time with you.

You know I can change directors like that.

I want us to be together, for you to give us some time.

So I can't be a slave to the wage.

-But I have to be your slave, right? -A slave?

What kind of marriage is this, Sofia?

Listen to me,

your show has the lowest rating on the entire network.

They haven’t fired you because you’re my husband.

It’s not my fault I get bad scripts that I have to rewrite,

and all the other stuff.

I can imagine.

Don’t you think it might have something to do with this?

It says you’re having an affair with Ana Karina.

Sweetheart, it's incredible you believe those magazines,

all that gossip. You know how the media works.

I hope so, Roberto, otherwise I want a divorce.

Don’t forget you’re a director thanks to me.

Each time you get hormonal, you take it out on me, right?

Is that how it works?

I’m going to bed.

This is my little brother Fito at his second birthday party.

Isn’t he cute?

Director, I’m sorry.

Do you remember me?

No? Okay.

I wanted to tell you I’m very happy to be working at the network

as an extra.

But what I really want is to be an actress.

Of course, yes. In life everything is possible, right?

Do you think so?

Keep on going, you’ll do well.

Thank you.

The director gave me a chance as an extra, Mum.

Did you see me last night on TV?

I looked pretty on the soap opera.

I don’t have time to watch soaps.

Well that’s too bad,

because I thought you were interested,

that you'd be proud of me.

You think I don’t work? I've been collecting laundry all day.

Yes, Mum.

-Darling. -Yes, Mum?

Why don’t you go home and see your husband? Go on.

-Wait a minute. -Leave it, go on.

-Are you sure? -I’m sure.

Bye, Mum.

Tell me, sir.

We need to fill those empty spaces. Put another extra there.

-Okay. -It could be, let’s see...

You see that girl at the table?

-Okay, I’ll tell her. Anything else? -No, that’s fine.

Okay, miss, sit over here.

The director wants you on the camera. Sit here.

Please don’t look directly at the camera.

Okay, perfect.

Perfect, that works, we’re good.

Okay.

Let’s start.

Okay. No cell phones on set, please.

Everybody ready.

Three, two, action!

Santiago is coming over, so you’ll finally get to meet him.

Yes, I’m ready to meet him and I hope he’s a good guy

so those two can get married and go far away from me.

-That’s not important. -The important thing is his money.

It’s important that he loves and respects her, that he’s a good man.

Alright.

Sorry to change the subject but I’m worried.

The lawyer called and the bank wants to take away the restaurant.

-What do you mean? -The mortgage is overdue...

Hey, girl. Tell me.

Why didn’t you tell him to put me at your table?

Naty, wait until I have more rapport with him.

-I promise I’ll help you. -Yeah.

Silly. I wanted to show you this.

Lorena.

I wanted to congratulate you on your excellent work.

-Really? -Yes.

Sir, why don’t you put me in the next shot with Lorena?

-Put me next to her, don’t be mean. -Yes, please.

No, go back there.

-I liked the third take. -It’s good.

-Yeah, I did too. -Okay, good.

Miguel, do you see that girl at the table?

Yeah.

She’s so pretty, so fragile, so innocent.

I think she could be mine.

I wouldn’t dare with Sofia hanging around.

If I do it with Ana Karina, why can't I do it with an extra?

No, no. This scene needs to be an exterior shot.

I don’t get it. It starts out midway between...

Roberto, seriously?

Do you have to bring your work home?

Sweetheart, why do you work so hard when I can give you everything?

Let’s take a trip.

Just the two of us. Somewhere luxurious.

You won’t need anything, just me.

Sofia.

You know what?

It's not all about trips, luxuries, money, no.

Life is about passion, I do my job because of passion.

I know, but how long has it been since we’ve been together?

Since we made love?

How are we going to have a child?

A child?

A child. We’ve been married five years.

What do I tell my dad when he says he wants a grandson?

Tell your father that we’re too young.

There’s time for that.

Tell him.

Number 15 has got the ball and he’s trying to...

Julian! Look at this mess again.

No it's just, get it in there.

Let me see, let me see.

-No, that’s the thing. -No.

-Did you see me last night on TV? -Lorena, we’re watching the game.

He should be on this side.

Get out of the way, we can't see the game!

Don’t shout at me in my own house.

Lorena, come on. We’re watching football.

I asked if you saw me on TV yesterday?

What show are you talking about?

We went to the cinema. What was it called?

-Inside Man. -Inside Man.

A film about a thief who becomes a hero, very informative.

-Look. -Look.

Goal!

Tell her, tell her.

Lorena, we’re watching the game, get out the way.

What’s up with you? Don’t push me like that!

I’m tired of you. I can’t stand it anymore.

Hey Julian, I’m thirsty.

You know what, babe?

Why don’t you go to the shop and get us some of beers?

Go on.

Why not tell your friend to get them instead?

How rude!

-Come on. -One nil.

-It’s broken. -Sorted.

Okay, what I want is for this girl to bring the camera.

She goes to the bar, gets the drinks,

comes back and gives them to the actors.

Yes, but that’s not in the script.

Miguel.

Tell her to do it.

Okay, I'll be right back.

Oh, no.

-For God's sake... -Cut.

...these people, Miguel!

Don’t worry about it, you’re fine. Clean this up, please!

-I’m so sorry. -Props, where are you?

What’s wrong with the plates, they’re not ready. Props!

Stand by.

We don’t have a lot of time. Let's do it.

In three, two, action.

Sir.

Miss.

Cut.

Very good, Ana Karina.

-Props, please. -Miguel.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to act.

It was the director's order.

Really?

Mr. Director, thank you again for giving me the opportunity.

I’d say the same but you left us without plates.

I’m sorry.

But really, thank you for letting me act as an extra.

It’s a good opportunity to go further, don’t you think?

Yes, are you going somewhere?

Yes, I’m going home.

Okay, I’ll take you.

Oh, I couldn’t.

Thank you.

Okay, so tell me.

Why do you want to be an actress?

I don’t know, it would be cool.

That’s not an answer.

Okay.

The truth is I want to make money.

I want to help my mother

and help my little brother to study at a better school.

So he can have what I couldn’t.

Of course.

Tell me something.

What are you willing to do to achieve that?

Whatever it takes.

Whatever it takes.

Where are you going?

I’m going home.

I live far away.

Where?

August 7th Avenue, do you know it?

Yeah, sure. I’ll take you.

Really? Thank you.

Did you enjoy the meal?

Who’s that guy?

A guy from the network who brought me home.

Yeah, and I’m an idiot, right?

Your friend arrived. Where were you?

Julian.

I’m too tired for your jealousy, okay?

I forgive you.

But first make me something to eat, okay?

-Thanks but I already ate. -Hey.

You ate or did he eat you?

Respect me, Julian. You know I’m not like that.

You’d better respect me because you're my girl.

You'd better give up that crap on TV, okay?

How nice!

Okay, this is how it goes.

Laura enters, is Laura here?

No, Laura called to say she is sick.

She got sick today? We can’t stop filming because of her.

Miguel, this is an important scene. We need someone.

I can call one of the standbys from the network

but that will take time, right?

No.

She can do it.

She’s an extra, she has no experience.

Let’s try her.

Okay, sir.

I need a girl to play a small role.

Miguel, I can do it.

Give me the chance. I have a lot of experience.

Yeah, I can tell. But, no.

You.

-Me? -Yes, you.

Come on.

-Come on. -Thank you.

Stay there, okay?

Damn it, why can’t I learn this?

-How are you doing, miss? -Good, yes.

Really? You seem a little lost.

It’s just this line, I want to be with you, I can’t memorize it.

Look, the words are just a starting point, right?

You just have to concentrate on what is going on.

Where am I coming from, where am I going?

I don’t need you to give me advice and much less for you to...

Oh, no, no, no.

Okay, Ana Karina, over there please and Carlos here.

And Lorena, right here.

-Me? -Yes, go on.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Okay, sweetheart. When are we going to Cartagena?

It doesn’t matter.

Miguel, Miguel, I want to be at Lorena’s table as well, okay?

No. Everybody ready?

Let's record. Quiet on set, please.

Three, two, action.

That's it for today. See you tomorrow.

-Yes, at the same time. -The same time, okay?

Miguel, I have to leave. I have a meeting I can't miss.

-Okay. -We’ll talk tomorrow.

-Okay, sir. -Alright, see you later.

That director is gorgeous.

I forgot to say something.

You have talent, carry on.

Thank you.

Look, I'll show you something.

Again.

Lorena, you have an excellent look.

That guy is gorgeous.

It's not just because he was nice.

Did you see him wink at me?

Yeah, and you know, Roberto is a really cool guy.

He'll help you to be a great actress, you’ll see. Look.

But this time it’s not out of fear, but because of a commitment.

It’s not what I have in mind for my future.

My life goals are very different, Santiago.

You’re going to have to be patient with me.

I’m going.

So where are you going, and for what?

Oh Roberto, really?

I told you I’m going to the festival in France to look for a series,

or a film, to boost the network.

Yeah, that’s right.

When I come back, I want an answer.

About what?

A baby. I want a baby.

And I don’t want to see you in the magazines.

If we get divorced, I get everything and you get nothing.

Wait.

Take care of yourself, okay?

And don’t worry, when you come back, everything is going to be okay.

It’ll be different, you’ll see.

I love you.

Did you ask for me, Mr. Director?

Yes.

This is for you.

Thank you.

Stonolaky.

Stanislavsky. He was a great actor,

scene director and teacher.

He created the Stanislavsky interpretative method. That’s him.

How nice.

"I hope one day to be able to direct you in a lead role.

With admiration, Roberto Sach."

Thank you.

You’re welcome. Well...

If you have time tonight, we could talk about acting.

What do you say? I’m free.

Stonosloky.

-Stonoslaky. -Stanislavsky.

Stanislashky.

-Lavsky. -Lavsky.

I’m going to get some scripts.

Okay. Who lives here?

You sound more like a reporter than an actress.

-I'll be right back. -Okay.

This is yours.

Really?

Wow, this is terrific.

-Go ahead. -Thank you.

What a lovely house.

It’s beautiful.

The view is gorgeous, I love it.

And...

do you live here alone?

Yes, by myself.

I thought you were married.

The magazines keep us informed, you know?

Sweetheart, don’t believe in the magazines.

You have a direct source of information, me. I can tell you.

Yes, I am married but at the moment I’m separated.

Too bad. But who knows, maybe one day you’ll get back together.

Wait, do you want to be an actress? Or are you interviewing me?

You seem like an undercover reporter.

Me, a reporter? No.

I didn't even finish college.

But if I’d had the chance to study,

I would have studied acting.

Of course. But that’s what I’m here for.

To teach you, to help you become a great actress.

Okay, thank you.

-Would you like a drink? Whiskey? -Whiskey?

-Sure. -I don’t know.

-Okay, I’ll get us drinks. -Okay, thank you.

Alright, here is your whiskey.

-Thank you. -Good.

-Great. Wait, cheers. -Cheers.

You know there’s a scene I’d like us to look at together.

Let’s start by seeing how we play it.

This scene. What do you think?

Okay.

Right.

Interior. Lucia's house. Lucia's room.

Lucia is naked in the bedroom.

Santiago enters.

You play Santiago.

Of course.

-Alright. -Is that okay?

I'll get another script, one each.

Okay, that’s perfect.

What’s this?

Well, it says here

that Lucia is lying on the floor and Santiago arrives.

Of course, that’s good. Very good.

Okay, let’s read through it

and I'm sure we'll get some ideas, okay?

-Okay. -I start, right?

What happened to you?

It’s just that I fell, I fell and twisted my ankle.

Does it hurt it here?

Okay, let me see.

A bit higher.

-Alright, what about here? -Oh yes, just a little bit higher.

-Right here? -Yes.

-Right there, it hurts a lot. -Perfect.

-Does it hurt here? -Yes.

-What about on this side? -There as well.

-I don’t know. -What?

It’s just that it says here I’m supposed to kiss you

and I don’t know how to kiss on TV.

I don't know how.

Look, sweetheart. The only way to teach you to kiss

is by kissing you, right?

Generally, TV kisses aren’t real,

they don’t involve real feelings, you understand?

They always seem real to me.

It sometimes looks like they use their tongues as well.

Well, no. It’s normal you would think that.

But that’s what acting is, interpreting real life

and making people think that it's real.

That they believe it’s all true, even though you know it’s not.

-Yes. -Come here.

That’s right, like that. Slowly.

Take your time. That’s it.

This is great fun.

Lots and lots of fun.

I think I have to go home now.

But I really learned a lot.

That’s fine, we’ll keep rehearsing later.

Yes, the class was very good.

-Did you feel okay? -Yes, fine.

-We can practice later, right? -Yes, of course.

Those kisses seemed very real, didn't they?

Really, I learned a lot. Goodbye.

-It was a pleasure. See you later. -Okay.

-Have to keep practicing. -Yes.

I hope you've got good news, or go the way you came!

Naty, can we talk?

I don’t understand this attitude that I’m getting from you lately.

What have I done to you?

Nothing. You've done nothing, Lorena. Exactly that.

But who helped me?

Look, you’re the one who has to prove that you’re a good actress.

That way you can get Roberto’s attention as well.

Oh really, so tell me.

Just how did you get the director's attention?

Tell me, my friend.

I’m listening.

Well, I’ve been flirting with him a bit.

And I thought it was because of your raw talent.

Lorena, that’s worse.

Roberto Sach is eating out of the palm of your hand

and you’ve haven’t even mentioned me?

-But Naty-- -No, no, forget it.

You aren’t my friend.

Look at yourself, what you’ve become.

I don’t want you in my life. Get out!

-Listen to me. -Get out of my room!

-Wait. -You’re a disgrace. Get out!

What’s going on, guys?

How are you doing there, Elkin?

-Come on over. -Sit down.

Mrs. Maria, a round for the table.

First pay, then I’ll serve you.

Because your wife has a tab that you haven’t paid.

So if you want to drink, pay up.

Come on, Maria, take this mirror as a deposit, he’s thirsty.

Hey.

Oh, no.

Okay, you know the drill, Chunky and I

arrive with the cars, you open them quick, we hide them,

sell the parts,

and we get rich. What do you think?

What can I say, bro? This time you’ve scored.

-Good job. -Of course.

-You have to have talent... -Do it.

...or he'll find somebody else.

Cheers.

100 miles an hour, man.

Up to two hundred. Your old lady’s here, Elkin.

What kind of example is this for your son?

It’s business, business.

Sweetie, we’re doing some business.

-Leave him. -Yes.

-Let’s go home. -This is men's stuff.

Go home, Elkin, or you'll get a beating.

-The mirror, mum-in-law. -Take it.

He'll need it tomorrow to see his sorry face

after the beating he'll get, son of a bitch.

He’s really gonna get it, poor Elkin.

Be careful, my dear.

Hey.

Hey there, nosy face.

Hey, you.

If you take me out the shop again

like that in front of my friends,

I swear I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you.

We need the money that you keep wasting on beer.

Oh, yeah.

Do you need a lot of money?

Where is Lorena?

Lorena?

Well, she had to stay at the studio

because they gave her a bigger part, so she has to rehearse.

You see, she’s no longer an extra, she’s an actress.

Wow!

My wife is an actress.

Nataly, I’m going to bed.

Get them out and close the door, okay?

Go to bed, I’ll close up.

Wait, don’t leave. Stay a while.

Bye.

Artist!

Julian.

I want to show you something in my room.

Let’s go.

Come on.

What were you going to show me?

Did you know I really admire you?

Don’t get your hopes up.

I’m with Lorena,

your best friend.

Julian.

Don't trust people so much.

When people start working in TV, they change a lot.

There’s a reason I’m telling you.

I thought today we could do a different exercise.

This text is very interesting but we can apply it differently.

It’s like, imagine that the two characters are here, okay?

There's a TV and you’re going to see horror scenes.

Lots of scenes of pure panic and you’ll get into the story, okay?

I want to see different faces, gestures, reactions.

If you want, you can grab me.

If you want to scream for my help, do it.

-Okay. -Does that sound okay?

-Yes, that sounds fine. -Perfect.

Let’s go in three, two, one, action.

Good.

-Perfect. -No, look at those two.

Imagine a monster is coming with a really scary, horrible face.

That’s perfect.

Come on, give it more, more tension, more panic.

You can grab me harder.

Help me.

Exactly, good. That's it.

Well done, Lori.

You can pick up your check for having played such a good role.

You’re being silly.

-Press this button. -This one?

-Yes. -Let’s see.

Do you like the hot water?

-Do you like it? -I love it.

I don't want to get out.

-Let's stay here forever. -Great.

Tell me, how long have you been an actress?

Well, not long.

The director is giving me an opportunity.

Okay. Just how big is this opportunity?

Forget it.

We’re going to record.

Hello there, how can I be of service?

I also do home delivery.

Where is Lorena?

Julian, you’re always asking for Lorena.

She disappears and look how you get.

Do you know where she is or not?

Julian, don’t expect too much from Lorena.

Look somewhere else.

I can satisfy your every need.

Remember how much fun the other day was?

Sweetheart, we could do it again.

Come on, cheer up.

I didn’t want to say anything.

But Lorena is cheating on you with the director of the soap opera.

That’s not true, bitch.

Where have you been, bitch?

Rehearsing.

-I don't know why you hit me. -Rehearsing?

Keep rehearsing.

Go on, keep rehearsing. Go on.

Get out of this house, whore.

A little tart like you doesn’t deserve a man like me.

See you later.

Hey, sister.

So you finally appeared.

You brought some laundry? Let's see.

Mum, Julian threw me out the house.

I don’t have anywhere to stay tonight.

But that’s not my problem, darling.

Look, you’re too old to be living with your mother.

Besides, there's no room.

I’m about to get paid for my work on the show

and I can help with the rent and my little brother.

There are no spare beds.

Help me, please.

She can sleep with me.

Look, Mum.

If you’re worried about your husband,

don't worry, I have to record all day.

I would only come here to sleep.

You'll have to.

Come in.

It’s hard for me to see you suffer.

I’m sad because since my parents died

I have always tried to take care of you, so you’re okay.

I appreciate it very much

but that’s why I haven’t been able to make my own decisions.

Do you think it’s fair that I can't get married

because I’m scared I’d have to leave you and Carlos?

Mum, look what I bought for you.

-Look. -Wow, all that?

I think you’ll like them.

Look.

Wow, these blouses are very pretty.

This is for you.

Look, little brother.

How is it?

Sweetheart.

My love.

Look, I brought you a gift.

What is it?

-Wow, it’s beautiful. -Do you like it?

But you know what?

The best present is you. I missed you.

Me too.

Ready, Elkin?

What do you think?

We have to dismantle it before the pigs get here.

We’ve got clients lined up to buy the parts, right?

-Let’s do it right now. -Let’s do it.

Do it. Open the bonnet.

-Nice, get me the wrench. -Done.

-And the tool box. -Okay.

Son of a bitch.

Ladies and gentleman.

I know you’re worried about the ratings,

especially my husband's soap opera.

But I assure you things are going to change.

I’ll take care of him. That’s a promise.

The ratings will go up.

-Roberto. -What's up?

Yesterday I saw Lorena in your car.

Why is that?

She was in my car.

Are you sleeping with her?

She was in my car, so now I’m sleeping with her?

I want to know what’s going on.

Hey, calm down, no need for this.

Are you going out with her or not?

I took her to the bus stop, so now I’m going out with her?

-Are you crazy? -Bastard!

I can’t believe it, that stupid, poor girl.

She may be poor but she’s more than you.

Is that what you think?

-No, I know it. -Moron.

-Moron. -Stop it.

-Calm down and get out of here. -You jerk.

I’m going to tell your wife.

Oh, Julian, look at you!

Have you won the lottery?

Something like that, darling.

You know what, this is for you.

-For me? Give it to me. -Have it.

It’s so pretty.

-You like it? -Yes!

-It’s beautiful. -Yes.

Hey guys, the chicken’s getting cold.

I love it.

Hey, do I serve myself? Come on, let’s eat.

-Beer? -Yes, go on.

-Naty, what is he doing here? -Look.

Mum-in-law! Good to see you.

-Mum-in-law? -Chicken?

Wing or breast?

Take your pick, it’s on me, for real.

-Go ahead, have a wing. -Thank you.

What do you guys want? Go on, I’m paying!

What a good son-in-law, that's what I like!

What do you want? Order the whole shop.

What a good son-in-law.

I'll have another.

-Whatever you want. -One more.

-Hello. -Hello.

Do you know where your husband Roberto is now?

Who's speaking?

Roberto is going out with a young girl

who’s half his age

and also works at the network.

Who am I speaking to?

So dude,

now you’re my ex son-in-law.

Son-in-law.

That’s okay.

Our relationship continues, it's good business.

We’ve started a great business, right?

-Totally. -Cheers!

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Hey, it’s time for you guys to go to sleep.

Look how late it is.

Julian, you can't even stand up.

Go home to bed!

Hey.

What’s up, did something happen at the board meeting?

Who is the girl that you’re fooling around with?

God, I can’t believe it.

Darling, I can't believe you’re still thinking

about what they’re saying in those gossip magazines.

You know how the media works.

How can you suggest I would get involved with some girl?

I know.

I know they'd tell me anything just to ruin my day.

But if I find out that’s it’s true,

prepare yourself for the worst.

Darling, come here.

I love you and I wouldn’t change you for the world.

You damn bastards, what are you doing?

You slut, what are you doing?

Mum, I swear!

Who is it?

A hundred.

Upstairs, number 10.

Thank you.

Good morning.

-Hey, how's it going? -Sorry, Miss Lorena.

But we have orders... Good morning.

We have orders not to let you in.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

But they’re waiting for me to film.

Orders are orders. Good morning.

No, it has to be a mistake.

You could get into trouble because the director is waiting for me.

That’s exactly who the orders came from, miss, the director.

What? I’m going to make a call, okay?

It must be for another actress or an extra.

-Good morning. -Hello.

Darling.

Lorena, look, you can’t come back to the network.

You just have to act like we never existed. It’s over.

Excuse me, Mrs. Sach is coming.

-Good morning, Mrs. Sach. Welcome. -Morning.

Yes, good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

I’m going to Roberto's apartment, number 201.

No, miss. I don’t have permission to let anybody up.

What? My name is Lorena, I have keys to the apartment.

I’m sorry, miss, but those are my orders.

-Orders? -Yes, from Mr. Sach.

Thank you.

You haven’t paid so get out of here now.

I have nowhere to go but I promise I’ll pay tomorrow.

Get out of here, I need the room.

Get out.

-Please. -No, get out now.

What’s she doing here?

Roberto, I need my job back.

My money has run out.

No, no, let me do something.

If you need money, take it. But I can't give you work.

What do you mean?

I earned the job with lots of effort.

Really, are you sure?

Was it a lot of effort to sleep with the director?

I’m not talking about that, don’t be ridiculous.

I just want my job back. I don’t care about us.

No, no, sweetie. Get out.

Take the money, and figure something out.

I have problems with my wife, I don’t want her to find out.

Get out, get out. I’m in a hurry, go on.

Go on.

-The police are close. -Oh, no.

-Julian, I'm scared. I'm going. -Where are you going?

-Not with this. -You gave it to me.

Don't you remember?

Listen, when I buy something, it’s mine, and you’re staying.

Thanks.

How can I help you?

Just looking, thanks.

Are you okay?

-Yes. -Let me help.

Thank you.

Let's get you up.

Are you okay?

Yes, I’m fine.

I was on the way to my car

and I think I fainted.

God, I thought I had run you over.

Do you want me to call a doctor?

Yes, no, no. I'm fine. It's okay.

Well come upstairs to my apartment. I live right here.

I don’t want to bother you.

It's no bother, have a drink. I can’t leave you like this.

Alright.

Okay, let’s go.

-Oh, excuse me. -Yes, yes.

-Let’s go. -Let’s go.

I’m glad you’re okay, I was worried.

How far along are you? We’re also trying.

Oh, I’m sorry.

No, no, it's no problem. You were saying?

Well, we’re trying to have a baby.

That’s wonderful.

A child always brings good things.

-Do you have--? -Darling, I can’t find that book.

Hello, darling. This is Vanessa, a neighbour.

She fainted in the car park so I invited her up.

She had an accident in the garage.

Pleased to meet you, sir. It's a pleasure.

Well, I’d better go.

My husband must be worried.

-I understand. -Sweetheart.

I'll accompany her to the lift in case she faints again.

-Yes, good idea. -Thank you.

How kind.

Sofia, I wish you good news on the baby front,

he’s going to have wonderful parents.

Thanks, we hope so.

-Take care. -Excuse me.

-Be right back. -Okay.

Come here.

Lorena, are you crazy?

Wait here and don’t move, okay?

I don't like what you did.

Bringing people into the house like that.

What? Roberto, don't be paranoid. She's pregnant.

I forgot you don't like children.

You know what? I’m tired. Give me a baby or I’ll divorce you.

Sofia, calm down. I'm going to the car to get my cell phone

because I’m waiting for a call.

When I come back, we’ll talk. Okay?

-I won’t be long. -Yeah, sure.

Lorena, you’re crazy. How dare you come to my house?

I feel like throwing you off this terrace.

I know.

But I don’t know what to do.

-No, no, no. -I have nowhere to go.

That's not my problem.

Roberto, the only thing I need is my job.

I need to go back to the network.

I need to help my family and I'll do whatever it takes.

Whatever it takes?

You’re willing to do whatever it takes, yeah?

Agreed?

Get on your knees. Go on.

You said whatever it takes, go on.

Bend down.

What's wrong?

Slowly, get down.

Stop, stop. Get up. Don’t you see?

You’re just a kid who’s going nowhere.

You’ll never be anything.

You’re a poor girl with no principles or morals.

And you know why? Because you’re a whore.

That’s what you are. A whore.

You think I don’t have what it takes, eh?

-No. -No? No?

You think I don't?

I hate you! You have no idea.

-Alright, stop! -You don’t know what being poor is!

But why are you arresting me if I didn’t steal anything?

Shut up. You knew what Julian was involved with.

Oh, my girl!

The boy told me everything, daughter.

Will you forgive me?

Forgive me.

A has two long legs joined together. E is...

-Be careful, sweetie. -Do the E.

E, the E.

The famous TV director Roberto Sach

was found dead in front of his own building.

At the minute, authorities are investigating the case.

We’ll bring you more information...

Lorena, isn’t that the director who helped you get into TV?

Yes, Mum.

Ask Maria for some bread, there's no money.

-Maria? -Yes.

I’ll be back.

Mrs. Maria.

Lorena, Lorena, forgive me.

Lorena, forgive me. Don’t look at me like that.

I know I messed up with you.

But you’re my only friend, you know?

I did it all out of jealousy, because I wanted to be like you.

I was angry.

I know I really hurt you.

Lorena, say something.

-Roberto is dead and it’s my fault. -What?

The police are probably going to come looking for me.

Wait, wait, wait.

No, no, I'm not going to leave you alone, Lorena.

I won't leave you alone.

Let’s run away, Lorena. That's what we should do, escape.

Look, I don’t know where we can go.

Let's go somewhere where nobody will find us.

You are not going to jail.

Grandma.

Grandma, if anyone comes for Lorena, don’t say anything.

Do you understand me, Grandma?

Say you don’t know what happened, you can’t say anything, Grandma.

This is the latest news update.

According to the authorities' investigation,

the famous TV director Roberto Sach

committed suicide by throwing himself off his own building.

It's thought to be due to the poor ratings of his soap opera

as well as his wife filing for divorce.

She is the main shareholder at the TV network where he worked.

Hey darling, where are you going?

Hey.

Hello? Miguel, how are you?

I'm calling because the new director saw your scene yesterday

and he really liked it.

Okay, yes sir. Thank you.

It was the network, remember Miguel?

Of course I remember Miguel. Why did they call you?

The new director wants to see me.

Oh, Lori! That’s so great!

Alright we’re going to record, run sound.

Camera.

Three, two, action.

I have to tell you something.

Tell us.

I’ve made a decision.

Santiago.

I don’t want to marry you anymore.

I don’t love you.

I care about you.

But as a good friend, nothing else.

I hope that one day you’ll be able to forgive me.

For now I want to concentrate on my family,

but this time not out of fear,

but because of a commitment.

I'm going to pay everyone that we owe money to, because of me.

You don’t have to worry about me.

I love you and I will wait for you.

All for love.

And I thank you for that.

Well.

I propose a toast,

to a new life.

Cheers.

Okay, cut.

Congratulations, my friend.

Congratulations.

-Congratulations, Lorena. -You did very well.

Here’s the director.

It was a pleasure working with you, you're going to be a big star.
