GEMA: DID YOU ARRIVE?

COWARD LOVES

BOSS - NEW CORPORATE IMAGE FOR COMPANY

HOLIDAYS

Eva, darling. Are you already at home?

I got here yesterday.

Yesterday?

Why didn’t you tell me? I could have helped you.

It does not matter.

Anyway, it's been a long time since you come over here.

But...

Are you coming for lunch?

I still don't understand why you prefer to stay in that empty flat

Mom, we have already talked about this

I need my own space and to relax.

Really? I can´t think of more calm than this...

And how is that they let you come?

Don’t you have anything to do?

Nothing that I couldn’t do from home.

Eva, please! You’re on holidays...

So, haven't you thought about finding something better around here?

The lemon tree is still there.

It is still there.

But the apple tree rotted.

How are you, Eva?

Mom, I'm alright, okay?

Have you talked to Felix?

It’s so good that you are here, mousy!

Long time no see!

At least three years...

C’mon, smile a little bit, girl.

I am just adapting myself.

Now keep calm, you’re back home!

Now, seriously.

How long has it been since you got laid?

Gemma, don't start!

So you're not with...

- What was his name? - Does it matter?

Wow...

That is the attitude, God damn it.

Look...

That one there is Nico...

He is cute, single and also paints.

I do not paint.

I’m a graphic designer, quite different...

The thing is that I’ve told him about you

and he wants to meet you...

Now you don't start too.

You are all invited to my countryside house!

All of you!

Hurray!

That’s the attitude!

Eva.

I am sorry.

We have to talk.

Would you talk to me in my place?

Not sure...

Do you know how long I waited for your call?

Six years.

Six years is a lot of time.

Let me explain...

I’m going to explain it to you.

You disappeared.

You were my best friend, Rubén

I know.

But...

Do you remember how much fun we had at Easter?

Eva, it is two damn weeks.

The area is amazing.

The house is on the mountains and the beach is beneath it.

It's the right place to get inspired.

It sounds good.

Ángel invited all of us

and that includes you.

You're coming, right?

Yes.

I knew it!

But... what is he doing here?

Hugo is incredible, really.

If you want, we can go...

Relax, it’s been a long time.

Well... I’d leave.

Are you sure you do not like Edward Hopper?

I would rather choose Robert Henri.

Really?

I like the way he reflects the everyday in the darkness.

Nobody expresses the oppression hidden in solitude like Hopper does. Nobody.

And he expresses it in a sensitive and distressing way...

Most of his characters are empty

and we do not know why.

What it is clear is that they are alone...

...don’t you think?

So...

Why don’t you like Hopper?

Because he's everyone's favourite.

You’ve never liked high heels.

No. I do not like things that hurt me.

On the contrary, I would be masochistic.

I reckon you are since you have been dancing with them all night long.

I'll probably throw them away tomorrow.

Eva.

Sometimes we hurt the ones we love the most.

We make decisions thinking of ourselves.

Thanks.

That hurts even more.

Did you think of yourself when you left me aside?

I was nothing to you.

Yes you were.

It’s just that there was someone else and I had to choose.

And I know that hurts even more. I know.

I am really sorry.

It is too late for that, Rubén.

Damn, Eva!

I’ve thought about you everyday.

Every single day!

You have disguised it very well.

So well that I haven't heard from you in years.

Nothing at all in years!

Do you know how many times have I been waiting for a call?

A fucking call.

Where is this person who is so important?

She's not here.

Me neither.

Because I'm not the same.

We can find you again.

You see?

What?

Your smile is still there It hasn’t changed.

You haven't changed that much.

You know what, Rubén?

What?

I’ve got to finish a puzzle.

Do you still work at Imagine?

How do you know where I work?

Hugo...

Facebook.

No.

Yes.

I'm not the kind of person who shares their life on Facebook.

But your friends do, and that's enough to know what you're up to.

You've always been nosey.

You look great with long hair.

With short hair you looked like a tomboy.

You’ve been spying on me all this time.

And you?

What?

How long have you been without her?

A couple of months.

Still recent. It may...

No, no, no...

It ended badly.

You’ve always been a heartbreaker.

I never broke your heart.

Yes.

You did.

I made a mistake.

Eva.

Ok?

But I want to fix it.

You left once, why won't you do it again?

Eva?

I saw your message.

Girl, you’re on holidays but do not lose contact with the world.

There’s no a lot of coverage over here.

I need you to help me.

Carlos is sick and he cannot help.

But...

But, what?

You have to design the corporate image of a new company.

I’m on holidays.

And I should be too.

I gave you the chance of taking two months for your holidays

if you accepted any unexpected event.

This is one of them.

Also, you can work from home.

Send it to me.

Alright.

Yummy, yummy!

I still don't know what I'm wearing.

We have to look hot.

Both of us.

I wasn’t going to tell you but...

Nico likes you.

So you’d better take something for the allergy that you have against men.

I can’t go...

What?

I've been assigned a project and I have to send it in soon or...

They fire you.

You know what?

I hope they fire you.

What sort of job is that? Working on holidays?

It's not like that.

Look, mousy, If you don’t start enjoying life...

Don’t look at me that way.

And don’t dare to tell me you enjoy what you do.

You said that they restrict your creativity.

Stop it.

Stop what?

You’re going to spend your holidays working.

You have to stop it.

This is the real world, Gema.

I live in the real world too.

I work and complete my hours.

Not two hundred more!

Yes?

Wow, lucky me!

Another day you don’t come.

Mom, I’m working.

It’s alright if you’re working.

But do not work the whole day.

You exaggerate.

Eva...

You have to look after yourself, go out!

Mom, I know.

Take the night off.

If you don’t want to come, go out with Gema.

But do not stay glued to the screen.

I will do that.

Oh, you know who you should call?

Mom, mom, bye.

Ok? Bye!

Coming!

Don’t tell me that you’re going to reproach me too.

I just came to make you dinner.

I thought you worked in the factory.

Are you also a cook?

Something like that...

Can I come in?

The house is a mess and I have work to do...

You can finish while I prepare dinner.

Can I?

Come in.

Oh... It's delicious.

You’d be the perfect husband.

Seven years ago, your perfect husband was David.

Don’t you remember?

No, I don't

I do remember David perfectly.

He was the man of your dreams.

You were going to have three children with him.

Shall I bring up your embarrassing teenage stories?

Well... if you want...

The perfect husband left me for someone with bigger tits.

What an asshole.

Your tits are beautiful.

I swear...

Eva...

What if we get our revenge?

Do you have eggs?

There, there, there...

- Sure? - Yes, yes. Stop...

What's wrong?

I don't know, I'm nervous.

What if we are caught?

So we run.

No, no. He is so...

So, what? There’s no need...

No, no... We're crazy.

Do you feel like throwing eggs at David for what he did?

So lower your voice and come on! Enjoy, Eva, enjoy! This is for you!

Ok, ok...

Stop, stop!

That’s his window, that window.

Alright, alright.

You throw the first one.

Aim properly. Careful with the egg.

Aim properly!

For David, the fucker!

I better say nothing.

Watch and learn.

Another one, go!

Do it like me, aim!

Here is the last one, asshole.

We don't have any more.

Eva, someone is coming. Run!

I've run enough for the next three years.

This place remains the same...

When I was a little girl, my mum used to bring me here on Sundays.

They served the best pineapple ice cream I’ve ever tasted.

Man...

Do you have pineapple ice cream?

None left.

We always sat here, close to the ball machine.

At least, I took 6 or 7 balls every Sunday I got everything.

Fairies, princesses, balls, everything.

But I just wanted a blue unicorn...

that I never got...

You could be rich now if you had saved all that money.

My mum never got tired of telling me

that I needed to be content with what I got.

She used to say “it has its charm”.

But there I was, trying to get that unicorn.

It’s still there!

One more disappointment.

“It has its charm”.

What is this?

You should know this.

Eva...

Look: "social network with a vintage appearance".

The first letter is 'I'.

I have a T in the middle...

But... what can it be?

Eva?

What are you doing?

Stop working... go out and have fun!

If I was your age I wouldn't be here.

I sometimes go out with Rubén.

Rubén?

Do you talk again?

Well...

Tell me you’ve finished the work.

But I can take a break.

Ok, take your things upstairs and I'll wait for you here.

- Ok, trust me. - Ok.

- Don’t squeeze my hand... - Ok, but where are we going?

I’m not gonna tell you, we are almost there. Just take a step forward so you don't fall.

- No, no, I’m scared. - I’m joking!

Seriously, I’m really scared.

Well, life is tough.

Come one, go ahead.

There.

- Sure? - Stay still, one step back.

Really?

Yes, but it’s alright.

- Done? - Ready, steady...

It’ll always be our place.

Whatever happens.

Where do you see yourself in 8 years?

That question is out of style...

Time has passed and neither of us was right, not even close.

You always wanted to be different.

And you always wanted the same.

Where is that girl

who wanted to change country every month?

Where?

I guess she died.

There's something more than just the over-optimistic girl

who wanted to make a living with her paintings.

She’ll probably die soon too.

One more question...

Where is your place in the world?

No idea.

When I left I felt.

I lost my place.

I lost my home.

I arrived at a new place but I never felt it was my own, so...

I made a person my place.

I took comfort in her as if she was

the only thing in the world and I lost everything else.

So I also don't know where my place is.

Do you know what I think?

You just have to look at the sky.

Isn't it everyone's place? It's always there,

...wherever you are

GEMMA CALLED YOU AT 17:35 ON THE 25TH OF JULY.

You were always together, what happened?

Matters between friends, mom.

The important thing is that it's all fixed now.

Of course!

Those faces,

I remember when you were 17...

And you...

You were crazy about my daughter. It was quite obvious.

Mom!

What?

No boy takes a girl home every day when he lives on the other side of town unless...

No. There was nothing between us, nothing but a friendship.

Much to your regret.

I didn’t say that, it’s just that...

What?

I know you don't believe in friendships between men and women.

But we are the proof.

Do you believe?

I didn’t know you left home.

No...

I was tired of arguing with my parents all the time.

I know...

I needed fresh air.

I really had fun today, Eva.

Me too.

You know you can come any time you want.

Thanks.

I’m leaving.

Bye.

Bye.

I am ashamed of this...

But...

You don't want to go back to your house.

That’s it.

My house is a mess since a pipe broke.

It’ll only be a few days. For sure.

It’s ok.

Sure?

No problem.

Thanks.

You can stay here.

Thanks a lot.

I’m sorry but I have to sleep.

And then, work.

And later?

Work.

And then?

Work.

Are you never taking a shower?

No.

Rest.

Thanks.

Can't you leave it for one night?

I’m so sorry Gema, I’m very busy.

Please...

Besides Nico wants to see you.

I would like to go, but...

Just try it.

Ok, I’ll try it.

Babe...

Nico is a good guy.

I know.

Talk to you later, ok?

I don't want a relationship.

Always the same story.

Doesn't seem like time has passed now.

Now it's different.

I have had several partners.

I don't want to be with anyone else.

Don’t take Gema seriously.

She has always wanted to find you boys.

She is so annoying, care less about her.

She wanted me to continue with David.

She was obsessed with the idea that ours didn’t work...

because there was someone else.

Perhaps there was.

Calling...

One.

I think you have to thank me, right?

For bringing me over again?

Thank you for that?

Two more.

One and gone!

Fucking bad luck!

Come on!

Two fours.

Another two.

Another two.

Two more fours.

Go on, lift them.

That’s a lie.

Show up...

You take them.

You take them.

Everyone thinks that you and I are together.

Again for a change...

It's like we're living our adolescence.

I don’t understand why they think like that, because...

There has never been love here.

I don't know why they don't understand.

Me neither.

I guess they see something we don't.

I guess...

To the blind.

To the blind.

How are you, Eva?

I’m better now.

Do you cry less?

Have you started smoking again since you gave up.

No, no...

Tell me, how about your relationships?

I started hanging out with my old best friend again.

I feel good with him.

That’s good.

And how about love relationships?

Have you dated anyone?

Actually, I don’t want to share my life with anyone.

You cannot take refuge in just one person.

You need to socialize.

To overcome phobias...

...you have to deal with them.

What happened was hard.

But you cannot close the door. That's a mistake.

And I don’t do that.

You have the key...

Hello.

Hi.

As you couldn't come to the mountains I came to you.

It’s not fair that you’re here alone.

Look...

...I’ve brought you this.

Thanks. You didn’t need to...

Open it.

Yes, of course.

Thank you, it's really nice.

Eva,

I want to know you.

Meet up for a drink...

...talk about your bad taste in paintings...

Nico, nico...

Well I have plans and...

I can't now.

But thanks.

Please leave me alone.

I've told you again and again.

To not call me and tell me to come back.

I’m not coming back ever again.

Is it clear?

Don’t ask me again, please.

I don’t care about your stories.

I don’t want to go back.

Don’t call or write anymore.

I'm hanging up and that's it.

Well fine, don’t ever call me again.

You got it?

Send.

Happy Birthday to you...

Thank you so much.

How did you remember?

Don’t look at me that way...

...you never rememeber anything.

I’ve always remembered your birthday.

Thanks.

Like that, no wish...

I brought you something too.

Here you are.

What is that?

Do you like it?

How many coins have you spent?

Don't ask.

I love it.

Thank you.

To you.

Rubén.

Rubén.

To Israel.

To Alexandra.

To Jorge.

To Alicia.

To David.

To Gema.

Have you hooked up with Gema?

Yes... Didn’t she tell you?

What a fuck up!

Yeah, we kissed.

When?

At a foam party. Don’t go crazy.

Why?

Don’t know. We were pretty drunk.

No, no I mean why?

To my last relationship.

To my last relationship.

Hey, do you like Gema?

No, not at all.

Look at me, do you like Gema?

I don’t.

Besides... She kisses...

...weird.

To us.

I really feel like throwing up.

I’m sorry Eva.

Forgive ok?

Eva, are you asleep?

Really?

Eva...

I don't remember anything at all...

Me neither.

I'm the only one responsible for our separation.

I'm sorry.

We can't control our feelings.

I know.

I guess...

...I confused our friendship with something else.

I was wrong.

Hi.

Sorry.

I'm late.

What's wrong?

Nothing...

Do you have anything to tell me?

You have spoken with Hugo.

I was going to tell you...

But you've been busy.

Eva.

He really hurt you.

Don’t you remember?

Now we're fine.

I know you are fine.

You're great.

So great...

...that you've forgotten about your friends.

Neither Hugo nor me.

who have always been by your side.

But of course, you have no time for us.

What a pity.

Are you dating?

Of course not.

You cannot trust Rubén.

Did you think the same thing before you hooked up with him?

Fuck.

Eva?

Yes.

Hey... Carlos still has not recovered.

and we need to finish some projects.

Eva, are you there?

Yes.

Then I send you everything to get started.

No.

No, what?

I am not going to do it.

Thank you.

Next.

Gema.

You know you’ll always be my best friend, dont you?

It seems that your best friend is him.

Sit down next to me.

Don’t be jealous...

We are impressed.

They are really good.

Thank you.

The problem that we have is the schedule full of expositions.

But this was founded to provide opportunities for young people like you.

We want people with something to tell.

And I think you have many things to talk about.

We could look into making a space for your work

but we cannot guarantee anything.

How was your experience in Imagine?

Well...

Normal...

Thank you, Eva.

We will call you.

And you have already...?

I mean have you... have you had sex?

Mom, stop drinking.

Have you or not?

No, mom, no, no.

Oh my god.

You know you are the perfect son-in-law.

Don’t you?

Unbelievable.

She talked about you to all my exes.

That’s true!

For me, Rubén, you’re...

The perfect example of a Prince Charming.

You are nice.

You are generous.

And always took Eva home.

Every mom would love that.

I love it...

You’d kiss her hand every day.

And flatter her if she let you...

...because you, Eva...

Look at him. Oh my god!

You smile and I can't...

...you're too cute...

Mom! Stop it!

Enough about princes and all that nonsense.

You're too old for that.

Well, I think it's good...

...to believe in princes, princesses, witches...

Of course!

Go on, play along.

Stop with princes, princesses, witches and all that. They don't exist.

The do not exist and that’s all.

Come on, you say that now.

Someday...

Look at what I'm going to tell you.

Someday you're going to find the perfect man

you want to share your life with.

Or maybe he's always been by your side

and you didn't even know.

Mom, I’m gonna tell you something...

People who believe that a perfect man is what they need to be happy.

are the ones who end up regretting believing in something that doesn't exist.

Look, no.

The only mistake.

The only mistake is to think that your charming prince

is what that boy did to you.

Great, Mom!

You did great!

Who is it, Eva?

I am not going to tell you.

She does not know either.

It was perfect.

But one day that perfection vanished.

That day I also waited for your call.

I am so sorry, Eva.

I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable... just

Sooner or later you were going to tell...

Well, that’s enough.

That’s enough.

I always want the best for you.

Always...

and I don’t know how to fucking tell you.

But you're wrong.

You're wrong.

Like everyone.

And it's my duty to tell you.

You have to take off that armour, Eva.

That armour protects me.

From what?

From suffering.

That suspicion of yours makes you suffer anyway.

I don’t know how to help you anymore.

I want you to be happy.

Stay.

Stay today.

I always try to start again, but...

...the memory is strong.

Maybe I chose the wrong place.

Stay.

Eva.

Stay.

This summer...

This summer has been the best.

And just because you have been part of it.

Eva, I will not let them hurt you.

I want to take care of you.

What's it called?

Don’t you know it?

Summer Evening by Hopper.

Do you like it?

So much.

It’s my favorite one.

It’s very romantic.

The opposite of you.

Do you think it is romantic?

What do you see?

I see a girl and a boy.

And I assume It’s summer because of their clothes.

They’re on her porch...

...talking.

They like each other.

She might be home soon.

But...

...she's trying to stay as long as possible.

Because they’re both wishing to make love.

That’s what I see.

That's what you see?

Yes.

To begin with, these guys are in another era,

maybe a summer day in the 20s.

In those days...

women were only interested in marriage.

And do you defend that?

Look at the guy.

He is the one who speaks.

He’s the one talking and oriented to the girl.

But look at the girl.

Look at her face.

She does not seem to like what he’s saying.

And her body is not facing him.

She even looks uncomfortable.

What Hopper criticises without noticing is that female stereotype.

That’s what I’ve always loved about you.

You always look for the double meaning.

You haven’t changed at all.

We never change.

We pretend to do it but...

...sooner or later we go back to being the same

You know I’m looking for a job around here?

Really? Here in the city?

Yes.

Yes, I’ve already had some interviews.

That's great!

I feel good here.

I have the flat and I've always liked this.

I guess I need a bit of calm.

I’m glad.

And the job?

I guess we all have a limit.

It's starting to get cold

we won't be up here in the winter.

How about your parents?

Not good.

At some point, I had to face them.

Grown ups have fixed ideas, you know?

And even if those ideas are wrong, they...

go on till it’s real.

Maybe we should be like them.

Hey, relax!

Everything is going to be alright.

Eva.

We've been seeing each other all summer

almost every day.

We've regained our trust, our friendship

and the relationship we had in the past, right?

Yes.

So why don’t you ask me?

I guess because I didn’t want to bother you.

You don't bother me.

I want to tell you...

I want to tell you the whole truth,

the truth you've been escaping from for so long.

Look, this didn’t start when we first met,

not when we first got drunk,

not even when I saw you with another guy...

This all started when I first and last saw you crying.

Do you remember that?

You had just seen your dad.

Who didn’t recognize you

and you could not stop crying saying

who else would care about you if your own father couldn’t?

I tried to tell you

there were many people who cared about you and loved you

and that I loved you, Eva, you were my best friend.

But the only thing I could say was:

"To me, you are important”.

And that was when I knew something had changed.

And then the time went by

I realise you had eyes for everyone.

Except for me.

The worst thing was

that, instead of it bothering me,

I started to like it.

What I want to say...

is that what made me fall in love with you was the impossibility of having you.

Maybe...

maybe there’s still a chance.

No, there isn't.

It's something I've understood over time.

Still...

I cannot get you out of my head.

And I'll never forget..

that day you cried on my shoulder.

Everything has changed

Don’t know why but everything is different.

I feel different.

One day you wake up,

and everything has changed.

I believe that...

if everything stayed the same, we wouldn't have as many problems.

Yesterday he was my playmate and today he's something more.

Sometimes I think...

...has it always been like this?

Always like this and I didn't want to see it?

No.

No.

There’s a point...

when everything changes...

...and is never the same again.

Wow.

Aren’t you going to say anything?

Not even what you think?

Well...

I think...

the inevitable is inevitable.

You two were inevitable.

You were the only one who didn't realise.

Tell him.

As you have told me.

You tell him

and that's it.

It's complicated.

Rubén.

Rubén?

Rubén, can you hear me?

Yes.

Piece of...

It’s not his fault.

Are you defending him?

That's not it... just...

I shouldn't have trusted him.

No.

The point is that he shouldn’t have lied to you.

All those promises.

I’m so sorry, Eva, honey.

It won't happen again.

He was lying.

No.

We're not compatible.

He chose again and he chose her.

Eva.

Stop justifying him.

Look, Gema.

First time he left I thought

he did not care at all about me

and that killed me,

broke me.

But now I don’t feel the same.

What do you think?

We missed our opportunity.

That our friendship had an expiration date.

And...

things die, sooner or later.

And if they don’t die, we have to kill them, because...

those things will end up killing us.

We had to say goodbye forever.

Hello?

I talked with Melania

at long length.

Did you know that we were friends at college?

Well, back to what I was talking about before...

I talked to her and she told me about you.

She said we have to give you a chance.

Wow.

We have studied the schedule

and other options too such as an arts scholarship.

And?

Let's make room so you can carry out

the first exhibition of your work.

The only problem is that it's not here.

We have another smaller gallery in...

That’s not a problem.

One of these days we could take a trip to the mountain.

I found a job.

What?

It is in a gallery.

- That's good. - I will expose some of my drawings.

It's not here.

I leave the day after tomorrow.

What's happening with this? You told me that...

I was wrong.

I’m glad, Eva.

You deserve this.

Thank you, mom.

I'm going to get some salt.

Call me, okay?

Thank you for everything, mom.

Bye.
