MAYBE IT'S NOT ABOUT CASTING OUT OUR DEMONS,

BUT SUMMONING THEM TO OUR SERVICE.

Would you like some water?

I'll bring you some.

How do you prefer to be addressed? Manuela or Manu?

Manu is fine.

Manu.

Do you know why we're here today?

Yes.

Everything we discuss must be true.

If you don't remember some parts, you can just tell us,

because you would still be telling the truth.

You can back up as often as you want.

And no worries if you can't always find the right words.

Later, the people behind that mirror will ask more questions.

The goal is that you won't have to testify again.

Shall we start?

Yes.

PUBERTAT

SECRETS, LIES AND HUMAN CASTLES

I agree with many of the things discussed in this debate.

I think we're in a good place right now.

One example is that we're having these kinds of debates on public radio.

Thank you, yes, we're doing our best!

Going back to your latest book, you talk about sex education and consent.

Yes, it's a book with a purely informative purpose

that reflects and questions how we put mutual consent and desire at the centre.

You didn't say it!

Júlia Esparver, a journalist specializing in feminism.

We can't wait for your next book. Thank you.

Thank you.

Eat lots of macaroni!

Wow. You said it!

Of course I did.

They'll freak out at school.

PUBLISHER: SOLE

Sole, what's up?

The interview was great, but how's the next chapter coming along?

We have to have it ready for the book fair.

I know. I'll send it next week.

I need fewer promises and more emails in my inbox.

Could you take a look at the mail I sent about the advance?

Without another chapter, they won't pay more.

Sorry. Have a nice trip and lots of inspiration!

- Kisses, dear. - Thanks.

What if you ask Uncle for money?

It isn't necessary.

In two weeks, we'll get what we make from renting out the house.

One thing, Mom.

I don't want to spend two weeks with Pol. He's such a loud-mouth.

He's not that bad.

OK, he is. But you'll have fun.

At the pool, with Claudia, your grandparents...

Your uncles who love you too.

Mom, you can't stand them.

That's not true.

Arguing doesn't mean you can't stand each other.

I argue with my brother, but I love him.

Come on, focus on what you're doing.

Seconds up!

Alright, gently.

Don't push the pillar-holders. Hold on tight.

Thirds.

Looking good. Rounded?

Fourths ready.

That's the right height, keep it up, this is perfect.

- Manu, Steven, Cristian, get ready, OK? - Get ready.

- Cristian, ready? - Yes.

Fourths going up gently one by one. Fifths up!

Easy...

Without stopping.

First time for Cristian, come on, focus!

It's OK if you don't go up tomorrow.

It isn't. Why does he get to go, not me?

They're just testing him, but you're better.

It's your birthday, don't get angry.

I'm pissed off, that's all.

Come on, it's OK. Gimme five.

Cheer up.

Besides, we're perfect.

Steven, Manu, Núria wants to tell you something.

- She does? - Yes, go.

Hey, Núria!

Did he say why you didn't go up?

No.

Did you ask if you're going tomorrow?

- No. - You have to fight for it, damn.

So? Nervous about tomorrow?

No, but maybe you are? With these last-minute changes?

Why is Cristian going instead of Pol?

Oh, the president who tells the team leader what to do?

Bullshit!

It's an easy Diada tomorrow, so it can be his first try.

Not that easy. We'll be filmed and we're about to have a sponsor.

- We don't do this for money. - Oh, money doesn't pay for this place?

Yes or no?

I thought of stuffing it a bit. A Sophia Loren kind of vibe?

- Sure, OK. - Awesome!

- I'll do it. - Otherwise, I love it.

- Fine. - Great job.

Have you thought about the sewing studio? I'd put up the money,

you the equipment, and we both get rich.

Estel, the materials for the festival just arrived.

- Great. - Do me a favor?

Can you pick it up? I have an order for Ruth too.

Sure, no problem.

While you're at it tell her about the new studio!

- Thank you. Bye. - Bye. See you later.

I owe you one.

- Are you looking for a studio? - That's just Estel's idea.

I can help you if you want.

To find a studio, I mean.

We could meet up and check the options. No strings attached.

Mom.

Rehearsal's over. Dad says he needs you at the bar.

OK, honey. Tell him I'm coming.

- Always with foam... - But in a glass!

"No glasses out on the patio!"

You saved me! The man knows how to serve his beer!

- But in a plastic cup! - I do know the important stuff.

Well, not that important...

I want a sandwich, he can't do that either!

OK, hon, I'll be heading home.

We have summoned you so that you can tell us everything you know

about an assault case that occurred within the human tower team.

We thought it was just the typical St. John's rumor that turns out to be a lie.

We didn't pay much attention to it.

I think we were wrong.

- What? You ready? - Well...

Are you?

Yeah.

Hi, auntie! Hi, Roger! Are you coming to the pool?

Look who's here!

Sis-in-law!

- Hi there. - How are you?

Very good.

- You're so tall, Roger! - What's up, champ?

He didn't win any championships, OK?

- Give me a break, will you? - Always.

Hello.

Who is this dark-haired lady?

Darn! I have a daughter. I sometimes forget.

Maybe it's Alzheimer's and not a stroke, Dad.

Júlia, please...

- Hi, Mom. - Hi, honey.

- You're thinner every day. - And you're more beautiful.

Glad to see you too.

- How are you? - I'm fine.

Roger, how are you doing with your flute studies?

Come on, it's the clarinet he plays!

- Clarinet, then. - Right.

We'll include you in the gralla group. What do you think?

- Sure. - We'll see what his mom says.

Consider it done.

Where's the vermouth?

The doctor said no alcohol.

- Is the doctor here? - What else did he say?

He said I can go back to work next week.

- I'll get the glasses. - No, stay here. I'll go.

- Want some chips? - Sure.

Hi, birthday boy! What's up?

- Fine. - Happy birthday.

- Say something to your cousin. - Hi.

Finally! I brought you a new friend.

- Hi. - Come on, say hi.

It's just that...

I don't know what to say. And I don't want to prejudge anyone.

And besides, they're...

They're kids. They all have their own imagination.

And the stuff they might be imagining...

That's basically what it is.

They're kids.

I think this cake is a bit dry.

Not your best ever, no.

It's delicious, Mom.

- Mom pass me the salt. - "Please".

- You coming tomorrow? - Of course.

- Pol's going up to the trunk. - Really?

Not tomorrow.

- What do you mean? - Of course you are.

They're taking photos for the story.

What story?

They're doing one on your brother.

His first day as president.

Congrats, bro.

- Thanks. - And me? I made him president.

Don't ruin what I've built over the years.

OK. Listen up!

I want to see you doing the 3 of 9 figure tomorrow.

- What do we say? - Strong core and don't look down.

- What else? - Elbows up and stay vertical.

What else?

Strong as a tree trunk, soft as a leaf.

Very good!

Very nice...

How come Lluís didn't come?

He couldn't come. Can I have some cold meat?

What's wrong?

- Nothing. - Nothing's wrong.

He's working.

You're his boss. Are you're letting him work on his godson's birthday?

For the party tomorrow, too?

He couldn't come, that's all.

For the story, I'll say I don't go up the tower

because I'm scared, but I'm still a tower builder.

- Of course you are. - Very good.

You know what else you can say?

Women couldn't climb up the trunk before.

Ever since we've been able to, the towers have gotten taller

Really? Taller?

That's because women weigh less than men.

An accidental achievement!

Sure. Men rule the world because of their merit, right?

Oh my!

We have a feminist mural at the club.

- Really? - It's very colorful and big.

Yes. And despite all of that, your peers aren't happy.

- My peers? - Yes, your peers.

- Who are they? - The ones complaining all the time.

They talk back, they find it all wrong, they always complain.

Sure, you can't help it. But some like you have that gift.

They have their reasons.

They can go look somewhere else. No reasons here.

Don't ever listen to your mom when she talks about this stuff!

- Listen to me instead. - Martí.

The boy needs a male role model.

Always the same story.

- You're the role model? - I'd prefer it to be someone else!

- But that seems too much for you. - Martí!

OK. I'll bring the dessert.

- I'll help. - Who wants coffee?

- I do. A lungo. - Decaf for me.

OK...

- Who wants to see the pigeons? - I do!

OK. Let's go see the pigeons.

You could tone it down a little bit.

- Me? - Sure.

Do you think he'll change?

Roger, no worries. It's just a normal family day.

Others will come.

You know your grandpa.

Want to see the pigeons?

- Can I? - Sure. Go on. Have fun.

Why is this one painted?

He's the one competing.

- Is he the male? - Exactly. Faraó is the male.

Don't peck her! Grandpa, he pecked her.

Lluís, you told me you'd come. He's your godson.

Your daughter said you were working, and I got blamed for it. Anyway...

Listen.

Why not get out of that place you always go to?

We have to move her to another cage because they can't be together.

It's very hard for me. I've known them since they were little.

For me they're like...

I watched them grow up.

- You're in charge of the kids' group. - Yes.

It's just... You can't imagine that it...

could be true.

It's really hard to believe.

Hi, Joan.

Long time, no see!

What is Joan doing here?

Your dad invited him over.

Can you bring the cups out? I'll get the cake ready.

- Your hair looks beautiful! - The hairdresser I told you about.

He always gets the color right.

Hey! Hello!

- Caramel color. - Hi.

- How are you? - I'm fine.

- It's great to see you. - Same here.

- Hi! - How are you?

- Nice to see you. - Likewise.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, dear Pol!

Happy birthday to you!

Make a wish.

- Let's take a picture. - Alright.

Look at the camera.

- Say cheese! - Look at the camera!

- Make a wish. - Blow!

Listen, are you asking because it's an open investigation?

Or is it certain that they're guilty?

It's an investigation.

I think this has been...

For sure it's been a misunderstanding.

For sure.

Be quiet, the girl is asleep.

- Mom, can we play video games? - It's too late.

Need help with the suitcase?

- No need. - Are you sure?

- Yes. - I'll bring you some sheets.

- Upstairs, right? - Right.

And how are you?

- Fine. - Really?

Sure.

How's work?

Work, well... I quit last year.

It was impossible with two kids.

But Martí could work?

We're going to bed. Here.

- You OK? - Yep.

Good for you, honey.

- Everything OK with Pol? - Yes.

Did you know she takes his phone every night?

She probably spies on him.

- You've done that too. - I did it once. Once.

To see if he had texted the Dauders' daughter.

They're such snobs. The bad kind of snobs.

- We're the cool snobs, right? - Of course.

Roger... I don't know. It's normal he's a bit weird.

- What do you care? - She loves to lecture others...

Shit. Not again. Martí!

Never mind. I'll call Daniel tomorrow.

We'll crap as a family then.

GRALLA GROUP SANTA VENIA

WHAT IS A 3 OF 9

JOAN ALSINA LAWYER

What are you doing?

- Hold on, hold on. - What's wrong?

- OK. - What is it, honey?

What's wrong?

What if we put on a video?

Honey, but...

I don't want to. We always do. Enough, OK?

But it works, right?

Sure, but other things could work too.

I wasn't going to do this, but you're making me.

What the hell?

What is that?

- What? - Are those drugs?

They're not drugs.

What is it then?

- Viagra? - Yes.

Where did you get this from? Stop. Who gave this to you?

- It doesn't matter. - Who gave it to you?

- Pere. - Who's Pere?

From the Pilates class.

- Shit! - Honey...

- Get off me, please. - Honey! Martí!

We were just talking in general.

That helps a lot. Get off me, please.

Put this away.

He's a sexologist, he's used to talking about this stuff.

- That's it? - Turn off the light, please.

I'll be brief, don't worry.

It's an honor that you chose me as your new president.

I will do my best.

If there's trouble, tell the vice-president, Mariona.

For rehearsals, we must do as our team leader Kevin says. Let's hear it for him.

You already know this.

We're like a family, so every voice is important.

We want to know if there's anything you don't like.

Free beer after rehearsals!

No, no!

You know that's a no. Especially this group over here.

But just for today, it's her you should thank, because it was her idea,

the rock of my life, my beloved wife Estel.

One free drink for everyone!

You can call me "first lady."

And... no. Please allow me to take the liberty

of dedicating my first Diada as president to my dad.

Cut the crap. Dedicate the 3 of 9 to me!

The 3 of 9...

One more level!

One more level!

One more level!

What we want is a feminist commission that focuses on what truly matters.

We've been fighting for this for years, and still nothing changes.

Just a mural, very pretty. We want more, am I right?

Yeah!

We listen to everyone here. You already know that.

Of course, we'll do whatever we all decide in an assembly.

Now let's give the folks out in the plaza a good time and build an amazing tower!

The Human Tower Team is like a family.

For such a thing to happen is...

On Saint John's, during the day, did you notice anything strange?

The Diada for Saint John's Eve...

is always small but very special.

There's the party afterwards, where the group celebrates the start of the season.

No one could have imagined the night would end as it did.

- Do you like it? - What?

- The gralla. - Yes, sure.

- It looks like a clarinet. - No, Mom.

- You have no idea. - I don't.

Alright, but you should have told us sooner. OK, bye.

- You won't believe this. - What?

- Cristian is in Port Aventura. - What?

Oh, come on!

It was his first day!

His mom says our president paid for the whole thing.

What?

- I can't believe Martí. - This is unbelievable!

That moron.

- Pol, you'll do the 3 of 9. Now! - Yes.

- Now. - Let's go, man!

Pol will be on the 5th level. Let's go!

OK? Please, let's get ready.

From the outside, it may be hard to get what a Diada means to us.

Let's blend in smoothly.

But when I say it's like a family, I mean it.

Let's go...

Not like a soccer team.

No one's on the bench. Every hand is needed.

Good, thirds going up, come on.

We've all known each other since we were kids.

We take care of each other.

Good, good, gentle, gentle.

Manu, for example, started out as a crowner when she was five,

and Pol, the raiser, would be passed up by her.

OK, fourths.

Each level of the tower is a different generation that is being passed on.

OK. Fifths up!

As we grow older, we move down to touch the ground,

becoming part of the base of the pinya.

We're the foundation for every new, ascending generation.

It's the law of life.

Trust is the feeling that binds it all together.

- Without trust, there is no tower. - Arms tight.

- Twos up! - Go! Go!

When the crowner does the wing, all of us are actually doing it.

Slowly...

Easy does it...

Crowner, three steps...

One, two...

Excuse me, I forgot what you asked me.

It's okay. I'd like us to talk about the night of the festival.

Of course, you want it to be a lie but...

It doesn't matter what you want, if it's true, it's true...

And we will do what we must.

All this took us by surprise

when the protocols were not even finished, so...

I don't understand.

They're very young kids. They're just children.

- Hi. - Hey.

You come here, but not to your godson's birthday.

- I won't stay long. - I'll start the clock, then?

- OK. - You can't go.

I bought two hot dogs. Both for you.

- I don't like hot dogs. - Come on!

Can we count on your son to play the gralla at the next Diada?

For the 3 of 9? No, we'll be gone by then.

You'll miss it.

- Yes... - Are you Júlia Esparver?

- Yes. - Can I take a picture with you?

- Of course. - Thanks.

- You were impressive before. - Was I?

Giving the group and my brother a hard time.

Listen. I love your book.

- Really? - I want to be a journalist too.

- That's great. - Yes.

Text me your address. I'll send you my upcoming book.

Alright.

- Thanks. - What's your name?

- Lucia. - Nice to meet you, Lucia.

- Bye. - Have fun.

She's a real firecracker.

How was your first day as president?

Great. Very good. Very...

Very emotional because my best friend was there...

Oh, not true. He didn't show up!

- Hi. - I'm very happy for you.

- Thanks. - Hello.

- How did it go? - Fine.

Oh yeah?

- She was terrible today. - "Just terrible."

He's such a moron.

- This is for you. - What is it?

You have to write your wishes, then we burn them together.

Alright. Great.

Let me think about it.

I'm going to Pol's for a pajama party.

Well, thanks for letting me know!

Can I go?

A pajama party tonight? And what is it that you do there?

What they do every time they come over: spill popcorn and candy on the sofa...

That's what you do?

Please.

Yes, OK, you can go.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

I'm going with the guys. Don't forget the list.

- Bye. - OK.

Is there any chance of doing towers with your daughter again?

It's been two years, Lluís.

Have you talked to your dad?

What are you waiting for? Everything's ready.

I don't know.

Don't kill me, but my wife has set you up on a date.

There she is.

No way... I told you no dates.

My cousin's flirting...

We thought he was stupid.

Hello. Record me!

- I can stay at your house tonight. - Really?

- But you gotta give me some pajamas. - OK.

What are you up to?

Can you sleep over too?

I have to ask, but they'll say yes.

Go ask then!

That means your dad is here, right?

He's over there.

It's great he could make it.

Your dad is flirting.

- Who is she? - She's my mom's friend.

Guys, guys!

- We're invited for drinks. - What?

- For real. - Who?

Laia and her friends.

- Really? - Yes!

- No way. Where? - At some theater.

- When? - Now!

- Estel is the worst. - She's quite a character.

Right.

Ever since my divorce, she's always setting me up on dates.

Do you like Saint John's Eve?

I love it. I think it's so magical.

The demons and their fireworks all over...

They say that, by the light of the fire, we can see our own shadows.

We let them out on Saint John's Eve.

A night when everyone's demons come out to dance.

- I read it in some history book. - No, sure, right!

- It's very interesting. It is. - Really?

Do you want a beer?

I'm drinking tonic, but beer is fine.

- I'll go get some. - Should I come along?

No. We don't want to lose the table.

- OK. - I'll be right back.

- Honey, I've got to go. - What? Now?

My mom called. The pigeons are nervous because of the noise.

No, Martí! Don't go!

No, come on!

You prefer the pigeons over me.

Who's the prettiest woman at this party?

- It looks like it's not me. - Shut up.

Have fun.

Got anything vegetarian?

I just asked the DJ to play some bachata.

- Great. - How nice.

Great, but you have to teach me how to dance bachata tonight.

I didn't promise anything.

Yes you did. A no is not OK. I'm fine with either of you.

Mom, Dad, can I sleep over at Pol's?

I'll tidy my room or whatever.

- I'm fine with it. - You sure?

In exchange for the bachata.

Bachata! Let's go!

- Come on, Daniel. - OK, fine.

- Come on. - Let's go, Ruth.

- I'll watch the bar. - Come on, Ruth.

Behave, OK?

OK.

OK, let's see, show me...

Move like this. I'll show you, a bit like...

Oh, I see.

And then you turn.

See? Now you. Let's try it.

There you go. One, two, three.

One, two, three.

There you go. One, two, three.

- What are you doing? - What's wrong?

- You cradle robber! - Stop recording!

- No, I won't. - If you post it, I'll report you.

- Tell her to stop recording. - Stop, please.

- Stop recording, please. - People must know who he is.

Please, put your phone down, Lucia.

- What happened? - Nothing.

I was talking to Pau and Pere and she came with the whistle

- saying I was being harassed. - Did they harass you?

No, she's making it up.

- They were going to buy you a drink. - That's a lie.

- Do your parents let you drink? - We weren't drinking alcohol.

- Ask the waitress. - She sees rapists everywhere.

Maybe it's because there are.

OK, go. Come on. Get lost.

Everything OK?

Just a misunderstanding. That's all.

What happened?

Lucia made a fuss.

She did. I'll ask the waitress.

Excuse me. Did those kids ask you for alcohol?

No.

- They didn't order alcohol. - Not from us.

I want a gin and tonic. I can't get drunk tonight.

- Do you want another? - No, thanks.

We don't know what happened. Maybe... I don't know.

Look, I really like Lucia, she's great, but...

I don't know. I sense a lot of anger and aggression in her.

It could just be puberty.

Maybe she has reasons.

Where are the kids? I haven't seen them in a while.

Do you remember where you'd hide to drink?

But... Who did you say invited us over?

Laia and her friends.

For real or are you messing with us?

I swear. She told me.

If it's a lie, we'll look like losers.

- Just saying. - She lied to you!

Hey.

Sorry, Lucia almost got into a fight.

- Who with? - Just some guys.

- Let's go! - Sure.

Hey!

Hi.

What are you up to?

- Mom? - We were showing Roger the theater.

- Great. It's under construction. - When it's finished, it'll be great.

I brought you the inhaler.

There's not much left in the other one. Keep it.

Keep it.

No drinking, eh?

- No... - We'd never.

- You'd never, because you're 13. - I'm 14.

Well, you can't drink either, OK?

- Behave yourself. - OK!

If you need anything, call.

Don't be nervous, come on!

- Don't wipe my kiss. - Mom!

- OK, I'm leaving. Behave yourselves. - Bye.

- Have fun. - OK, bye.

- Behave... - Don't forget your inhaler...

The law requires us to write a report on your personal circumstances.

Why do you think your name is on a sexual harassment report?

- But this is a mistake. - A mistake from who?

I didn't do anything.

You must have a lot of questions. Do you want some water?

I'm not here to judge you. That's a judge's job. If necessary.

I didn't do anything.

Why don't you tell me how you celebrated Saint John's Eve?

We lit some firecrackers and went to party with the older kids.

You also went to a pajama party to Pol's house.

Yes, but that's it.

Tell me.

You were drinking at the theater with the older kids. What happened next?

We can't leave without Manu.

She'll come if she wants.

- What if something happened? - I don't think so.

Have you seen her?

No, but I'm sure she's fine.

- Where were you? - Me?

- How'd it go with Laia? - Hey!

Let's go.

- Where were you? - Talking.

Let's go to the bonfire.

We're going to Pol's house to carry on with the party.

- You sure you don't want to go? - No.

It's Saint John's!

Sure, but my cousin needs to report how things went with Laia.

- Oh yeah? - What the...!

It's such a delicate age, they're neither kids nor adults.

Sure, they look young to me,

but when do they start nowadays?

Look,

sexuality

is a complex issue.

Even for adults.

We think we have it all figured out,

and we don't.
