A FILM BY ALEJANDRO MAGNONE

Tadeusz! What's up, dickhead?

-How are you, Lampini? -Life's a shit.

What are you doing here?

I came to see Orlando.

He has just passed by. A minute ago.

What a pity!

Forty-two.

The doctor's stamp is missing, granddad.

-"Granddad"? -The stamp.

The doctor's stamp is missing.

The stamp?

Yes. I can't sell it to you like that.

Go and tell your doctor that you need his stamp.

Forty-three!

Please, we need a stretcher!

A stretcher, please! It's an emergency!

Don't worry. Come on.

Who's winning?

Me.

And who's losing?

-Do you want to play? -The black ones.

The white ones.

I haven't seen you here for a while, master.

I'm no master any more. Now...

my memory is failing.

Come on, master. Don't act all humble with me.

I mean it.

-Yes. I should take lessons again. -Really?

And who would teach you? Yourself?

Sure!

When you arrived, I was teaching myself a lesson.

Playing on your own you only learn a part of it.

Yes, but...

as a matter of fact, you always win.

Or you always lose. Check.

The only place where you always lose is war.

Checkmate.

This is Domingo Lampini's house. Please, leave your message.

Tano?

I've been calling you for two fucking weeks.

Pick up, you son of a bitch!

I don't remember if I have to meet you on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Call me back.

It's a cold night in Buenos Aires. Temperature is seven grades.

Now, we'll listen to a song by the great Italian American composer,

Paul Bronzini, recorded in 1928 at the New York CBS studios.

"Winter in my heart."

It's a classic.

"Winter in my heart."

Tadeusz.

You came.

Gorgeous.

Tadeusz! I'm so glad to see you.

-How are you? -Fine. I'm fine.

Orlando has just passed by. A minute ago.

-He has already passed by? -Yes.

Do you need anything?

Are you sure?

-Ivonne? -No.

-Ivonne? -You take me for somebody else!

Ivonne? Who the fuck is Ivonne?

A lady...

that I used to know.

Sure. "A lady that I used to know."

Go to bed. I'll make you some soup.

-I've been looking for you. -Yeah, I know.

-Why didn't you answer? -I was busy! What else?

The cops call, and you go.

It's different.

Well...

Why did you call me?

Are you out of money?

-Did you pay the rent? -Yes, I did. I paid the rent.

I just wanted to see you, to have a little chat.

-Not the same old story again. -No, listen to me.

No, I don't want to have a chat, I don't want to discuss nonsense.

-Listen to me for a second. -I said no!

Where are your pills?

There.

-Since when are you out of? -Today.

I took the last one today.

Bullshit! You told the cops you haven't taken them for two days.

-I took the last one today! -So it was all bullshit?

That you lost your memory and mistook a lady for some Ivonne.

Tomorrow you'll go to the drugstore, buy your pills and take them.

-Do you have money? -Yes, I have money.

Listen to me, Orlando. You're like a son to me.

You're the only one...

-When your dad got sick... -Don't start with my dad's death!

I promised him I'd take care of you, didn't I?

I taught you an occupation, I got you the job at the subway.

I took care of you. Now it's your turn to take care of me.

I do, but give me a break with that!

You should go to the club, enjoy yourself.

I do enjoy myself! I go to the club.

But those pills don't work! Do you get it? They don't!

-You have to get me that gadget... -Do you want to drive me mad?

No, I've already told you! No! Period! No way!

-Listen to me! -No! Stop it! I said no!

It's late, I've got to go.

You go to sleep and dream about Ivonne or Coca Sarli.

But sleep.

WAITING ROOM

Goldberg, Tadeusz. Office five.

-Excuse me. -Come in.

Is Doctor Gómez here?

He's in a congress. He's not coming today.

I'm all ears.

It's just a little thing. I need the stamp on the prescription.

I wanted to ask the doctor if he could change my medication.

Why?

To try a different one.

This is very good.

-Can't you prescribe a different one? -No.

No, you're doctor Gómez's patient. You should consult him.

These will be just fine.

Beware of the step when you go out.

-Hey. -What's up, Mr. Tadeusz?

-Has Orlando already passed by? -He's just left. A minute ago.

Tell him I need to talk to him, it's urgent.

OK. Sure. Don't worry.

-It's urgent. -Don't worry. I'll tell him.

-What happened there? -What happened to your head?

-Maybe your foot slipped. -No!

My foot didn't slip. I know this escalator!

Hey! What's the matter?

Hey, easy, Tadeusz! Calm down!

Tadeusz, calm down! Don't take it out on the wall!

So you haven't taken your pills for three days?

That fucking escalator took its revenge.

The escalator took revenge?

I know it.

What do you mean?

I did it myself.

You should rest.

Wait, please.

Those pills...

I don't want to take them anymore.

Rest a little.

I'll be right back.

Help yourself. What would you like?

-One of those. -Sure! Help yourself.

-And you, my dear? -No.

Aren't you hungry? You need to eat something savory.

Yeah, sure.

-Let's see. -Hey.

Orlando, meet Teté. He's Orlando, my nephew.

-Or my godson, I don't know. -I get to meet him, at last.

You've fixed a picnic.

It's a hospital.

I'll go to the toilet.

-Nice meeting you. -You too.

You upset her! Did you realize that?

You're on a diet! You can't eat whatever you want.

Why?

-Her food is very healthy! -And very tasty.

Have you talked to doctor Gómez about my problem?

He said you have to go on taking the same pills.

No, not the same pills. Call him.

No, he's gone to a congress. He's not here.

No, put me in contact with him. Call him, Orlando!

Call him, please. Perhaps he's already back.

No, because he's a stubborn old man

and is obsessed with the idea that the pills aren't good for him.

He knows more than the doctors.

They don't work, I'm telling you!

-Why is that? -Because they make my dick go down.

-That's why. -Bring it down a notch.

Without the pills, I get a hard-on with no problems.

-Am I disturbing you here? -We'll discuss it later.

-We'll discuss it later. -No, not later!

I know you. You'll pay no attention to me later.

The same as with that gadget I asked you for the other day.

It's a gadget, like a pump that acts like a plunger.

You put it right there. It has a little hose.

It's connected to a pump that you have to squeeze. It works!

-Do you get it? -Yes, I get it.

Listen, at your age, this is dangerous.

Everything is dangerous at my age. Everything!

-I was with Ivonne. -What?

I dreamed that I was with her.

And I remembered everything.

Do you get it? Everything. I mean all of it.

Come on, laugh! Just laugh!

Don't worry. Today, there are a lot of things.

Haven't you tried Viagra?

What? More pills?

No way!

Don't you even dare to suggest more pills! Please!

Maybe, if you can get me one...

I could try.

Are you up to it?

You're a naughty girl!

Hello.

Hey.

You can go home.

Do you have someone to pick you up?

I'll call somebody right away.

-Here... -Have you checked what I told you?

You have to keep on taking the same medication.

You should discuss it with Gómez.

You're his patient. You should ask him.

I guess you'll have to take it for life.

For life?

Do you know how old I am?

There you have the prescription. Bye.

But it's an emergency!

Are you sure you don't want me to stay?

No. Don't worry.

-But you're just out of hospital! -No. I'm fine.

-I'll stay for a while. -No, no.

Sorry, but I prefer to be alone.

-I mean it. -OK. You're so stubborn!

Goodbye.

Thank you.

Now move the rook.

Take the bishop.

So? Now the knight.

Mate!

Great, master!

Gin for everyone!

-We have to spread this! -I know a journalist!

No, it should be on the Guinness Records!

-Hi, Pepe. -Hey.

Listen to me. It's like simultaneous matches.

-What? -Simultaneous matches.

-We'll talk tomorrow, all right? -No, not tomorrow. Today.

I'm working now.

-I'll wait for you here. -Don't hold your breath.

Mr. Tadeusz. Mr. Tadeusz! He's here.

Just a minute. I want to check out a magazine.

We're closing.

What happens?

Orlando, those pills are no good anymore.

The same old story with those pills!

I remember everything. All of it, together.

Just like when I played simultaneous matches.

That's nonsense! What does it have to do with anything?

-It's important. -No, it's nonsense!

Simultaneous matches? Come on. Stop it.

To have a hard-on is important for me!

Family issues, madam. Don't worry.

When I play chess, I get a hard-on.

And what do you think of? The pieces, the queen or what?

It's a figure of speech.

When my brainbox works well, I remember everything.

And if I remember everything, I get excited.

-That's the point! -Yes. You may get high pressure.

No, it's not my blood pressure!

The point is, when I'm with a woman, I get excited.

But "my friend" doesn't work! Do you get it?

That's why it's so important that you get me the gadget.

Yes, I know!

-Why did we come here? -What?

-We came for this? -No, we came to talk...

-You're so pigheaded! -No, you can't quit your pills!

-Me? -Yes, you are.

-Calm down. -I'm pigheaded.

-Bye. -Wait. Where do you go? Come here!

It's the same old story. Every day.

Why does he come to me? To talk about what?

-Where do you go? Come here! -Calm down.

Tadeusz!

Come on.

-Hi, good morning. -Mr. Tadeusz! How are you?

-How are you doing? -Excuse me.

Let me introduce you to Raúl.

-Yes, we already... -From Tucumán, the chess association.

-Yes. Nice to meet you. -You too.

And Pepe, from the chess association of Villa Cañás, Santa Fe.

-You were there in Villa Cañás once. -That's right.

It's a great pleasure to have you here.

We were playing a bit.

-Perfect. -Between friends.

Please, go on.

But I was in the mood for simultaneous matches, if you will.

-Of course! -I'd love to!

Are you OK, master?

It's Focaldi's turn.

What did you play as a child?

What did you like to play?

Hopscotch, jumping the rope. Put them in the drawer.

French elastic, too.

Why?

But what were you good at?

Really good? At Scattergories.

I was super good and fast.

I always won because I knew every word with every letter.

And do you remember now?

I'm not sure. Tell me a letter.

A.

Analía, Alexandria, alligator, airplane, amber, apricot, Audi.

One more.

G.

Gerardo, Greenland, giraffe, grapes, gray, gloves, Gillette.

-One more. -R.

Raúl, Rome, rhino, radish, red, rock, Renault.

I'm so good!

-How can you remember? -I don't know. I just do.

I just do...

And you? What were you good at?

I don't know.

Can't you remember?

No.

I can help you remember

what you were good at. You were super good.

And it's a habit you shouldn't have quitted.

We can take the opportunity that the kid is out... to remember it.

No. Stop it, stop it.

I can't. I'm not...

It isn't nice to be rejected.

-No... -It's not.

-And it's not the first time. -I'm not rejecting you!

I can't stop thinking about the old man.

You will become an old man if you don't fuck.

Tano! What are you doing here?

If I don't come to see you...

I've been calling you!

-I know. I listened to your messages. -You did?

-And why didn't you answer? -Because I couldn't.

I had a heart attack. My heart is a wreck.

In fact, I was in hospital.

Really? And why nobody told me?

No idea. They didn't want to worry you.

You were in hospital too and you didn't mention it!

Why would I tell you? So that you celebrate?

Of course! With champagne and the whole nine yards!

-Mascalzone. -Come on, take a sit.

If I had known he was down there, I would've aimed better.

Do you know how many times I had him in my sights?

Why didn't I shoot? Why?

-Because I was out of ammunition! -Because he was an asshole.

So you've known each other for a long time?

Yes.

I was there, defending the Republic, and he bombarded me every day.

Listen to the angel who used to throw flowers at me.

You were together at the Spanish Civil War?

Yes, but not together. Separate, I would say!

But I didn't volunteer, unlike this paparulo here.

They forced me to enroll when I was 19.

They put me as an air gunner.

And he bombarded me every day.

And you did volunteer.

Of course I did. To defend the Republic...

-Paparulo. -from these fascist vultures.

I was never a fascist. I was always with Sampdoria.

-But you attacked the republicans. -I attacked nobody.

I hardly could defend myself from all these nuts

that wanted to take my plane down.

What are you talking about?

-You attacked and I defended! -I didn't attack.

I was a poor man. A worker.

-And how did you know each other? -Underground.

-Underground? -Yes, that's right.

We worked at the subway for years. We invented it.

At the subway. Working.

Yes.

And who told you I was sick?

-What? -Who told you I was sick?

Pepe, who else?

He also told me you'd hurt your brainbox.

I came here out of scientific curiosity.

I wanted to see if there was something in there.

But I see there's nothing there. Not even hair.

-Are you OK? -Yeah, I'm fine. And you?

Excellent.

Now that I see there's nothing wrong with his head,

Tuesday 13. Will you remember?

-Tuesday 13. -Tuesday 13.

Tomorrow. Tuesday 13.

Ask him at what time.

-At what time? -At 10 in the morning. Sharp.

At 10 o'clock in the morning. Tuesday 13.

-Yes. -Nice day.

The rose! I forgot the rose.

What an asshole.

I miss you.

My love, here I am.

I'm with my friend, Tadeusz.

He insisted on coming today, the day of our 65th anniversary.

And he ruined me all privacy.

But you have to pretend he doesn't exist.

Why don't I speak Italian, my love?

Out of politeness with my friend here.

He doesn't speak Italian. He's Polish.

My love, my dear, everything's fine at home.

Our grandchildren miss you so much.

Victoria is very beautiful. And she takes after you.

Bruno got all his exams perfectly.

The other one, Luciano, he's such a swine!

It's the third time he's had a plaster.

The elders, fine.

Your daughter-in-law, Mónica, is as mad a March hare, as always.

Your son, Alberto, is very happy

because he changed his old Fiat with 6,000 miles for a new one.

And your daughter painted her practice dusty pink.

"It's beautiful!" she says. It's horrible.

And I'm fine. Now I can say I'm fine.

I've already got my ticket.

I'm flying next week.

-Are you leaving? -Yes.

To Italy?

No, to Chacharamendi, La Pampa, you moron.

Why are you going there?

To make you happy.

-You'll complete primary school? -No.

And when are you coming back?

Never.

I want to die in my hometown.

And you have to tell me this here.

What did you want? To know it before my wife?

For your bravery in the fight and for being a great comrade

and a defender of freedom.

"For your bravery in the fight

and for being a great comrade and a defender of freedom."

What?

That I like what you do to my head.

And I like how you say it.

I'll heal this wound you have in your head.

So that you never forget who you are.

And the reason for your fight.

Hi. How are you?

-Your mother? -That's right.

How are you, madam?

How can I help you?

It's for a friend.

-For him? -No, not for him.

-It's like a little pump. -Yes.

A pump. And they make it in different sizes.

-Yes. -And different shapes.

-Let me show you. -Sure.

Look. I have this one.

Here's the pump.

-Can I...? -Touch it. Without obligation.

It's curious.

It comes in different sizes. This is one of the biggest.

And it sells very well.

-Look. -Yes.

You have to unscrew this and then...

you can use it.

I was told that...

-How much is it? -This is $450 because...

-How much? -$450.

-No. -Orlando, there are others!

I'm not spending such a fortune in that shit!

Don't be so stingy! You can pay with credit card.

No! I'm on overdraft! No.

The mutual association! Twelve installments without interest.

Fill in your information and the product you want to buy.

-The product? -Yes. If it's a TV or a fridge.

Do I have to put what it is?

Right.

It's not the same to buy a washing machine than a blender.

Fill it in. I'll be right back.

MUTUAL ASSOCIATION OF SUBWAY WORKERS

Can't I put simply "electrical appliance"?

Who is it?

It's me!

What a surprise!

It is, right?

He's a genius! A man his age beats the computer.

He won several simultaneous matches.

The other day, he won around six.

And he's a man full of ideals. He was in the Spanish Civil War.

If he played professionally, he would match up to Najdorf.

"Naidorf."

And he's also a gentleman.

He must be about to arrive any minute.

Tadeusz. Tadeusz!

My God!

Hello?

Orlando?

Teté here. Listen, Tadeusz is sick.

You connect it there and you have a little hose here.

With the little pump, you do like this. You see?

What's up? You didn't sell much today?

No! Come here. Come! Come in. Look at this.

These papers aren't for sale! And I'm only lending you this one.

-What happened? -Listen to this. Page 32.

"A chess player with history."

"Tadeusz, the nonagenarian chess player that challenges the computer."

There's more.

"A man that all his life has fought for a better world.

He worked on the subway tunneling works."

I knew that already.

"He's about to enter the Guinness World Records

for being, at his age, a chess player who's able to play

several simultaneous matches and win them all."

What do you think?

Great!

He isn't in the picture.

It's delicious.

Hey.

-Hey! -Hello.

How are you?

I'm glad you came because I should get going.

-You're going already? -Yes, my dear.

I leave that. Don't get an upset stomach!

Bye, my love. Good bye.

-Delicious. -Excuse me.

Go ahead. See you.

Congratulations! You're on the paper.

Very good! Great article.

-Let me see. -I have more here.

"Record"? This isn't a record.

Do you know how many of those matches I have won?

Have you talked to doctor Gómez about my pills?

No.

-Why? -You were about to die!

-Stop it with the pills! -Who says I was about to die?

I brought you in an ambulance.

The same could've happened to anyone, couldn't it, Pepe?

"The same"? What?

At my age?

If you would've wanted to get laid twice,

the same would've happened to you.

Madam, excuse me. I need to ask you something.

Is it true that my uncle had sexual relations twice with you?

I don't have to answer that!

It isn't for me; the doctor's asking.

Of course we did! Yes.

Why don't you come and try? You're all blah, blah.

What happened?

He'll be on the Guinness, but not precisely because of chess.

Where are you going? What time is it?

Didn't you have the day off?

Yes, but I have to get the old man. He's being discharged today.

It's too early. Go later. Come here.

-Cuddle up to me for a while. -No, I can't.

I need to find that Gómez. He's never around.

Did you speak with doctor Gómez?

No. He's on vacation.

Didn't you tell him about my pills?

How could I when he's on vacation?

I'm not taking those pills anymore!

Where are you going?

To hell!

I'll never forget you, Nuria.

OK, take a sit. Here come the nibbles.

Enough with the ball.

Great!

There's more coming.

I prepared the chessboard so that we play after lunch.

Yes. I've already checked it.

But I don't get this new piece. I've never seen it.

It's a Gogo. I lost the rook.

And what's that?

A figurine. A Gogo.

Bravo.

Tell me something about Poland.

-About war. -No, not about war.

Come on. About your childhood then.

When I was about your age, my mother woke me up

every morning at 5 o'clock

with a cup of hot milk with garlic.

So that I didn't get sick.

Then I went to the stockyard, gathered the cows

and took them to the fields.

I remember that, one morning, it was very misty

and, apparently, I fell asleep because of the cold.

You know, in every cattle, there's a cow with a cowbell.

So she did like this and pushed me with her snout.

And she kept me warm too.

When I woke up, my parents arrived.

They gave me a huge hug

and took me home.

And they put me next to the fireplace.

Is it true or did you make it up?

-He won't lie, dad. -It's true.

Haven't I ever told you?

It's incredible how you remember everything.

-Such a good memory. -Yes, yes.

When you remember like this, you feel a great sense of relief.

And you, Orlando? What do you remember?

Me?

-Who wants sausage? -Me!

I'll bring the salad.

Stop it with the ball!

Mateo enjoys chatting with your uncle, doesn't he?

-Is he already asleep? -Yes.

Obviously. He makes up such stories.

I believe him. You, instead, don't remember a thing.

Orlando, Oporto, ostrich,

omelet, orange,

Opel,

otter's eyes.

Stop it, stop it. Please. No, no.

I'm trying here.

I put on cream and perfume, lit a scented candle.

Think about it.

And I'm hair-free.

What the fuck's wrong with me?

Why can't I remember anything?

I played football.

I was good at it.

I was more than good.

Comelles, Perfumo.

Ártico, Héctor López and J. J. López.

Fillol, Tarantini, Gallego, Galván, Olguín,

Ortiz, Luque and Bertoni!

Get ready.

I've just remembered the entire team of Argentina '78.

"Let's go, Argentina!"

-Board 1, B3. -Board 2, B5.

Knight. Board 1.

B3. Board 2. E5. Board 1. Board 3. Board 2. E3. E5.

-Board 1, knight F3. -B1.

Board 2, B1.

E6.

Board 3, knight by D4.

Bishop D4.

Board 1, D5.

C4.

-Board 2, E5. -Knight, F3.

Board 3, knight by C3.

E4.

Mr. Tadeusz.

I wanted to offer my condolences about your friend Lampini.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Since he lost his wife, I always saw him a little bit...

Yes, he wasn't...

so fine.

Doctors had said he had two months left.

You knew, right?

No.

Yes. They had.

He had two months left.

He bought a ticket to Italy, spent the two months there

and kicked the bucket.

What can you do?

But he had a great time! They say he had a blast.

He went to his village, saw all the people he had grown with.

He ate sopresatta, played briscola and had homemade wine.

It's a great way to die.

That's right, Mr. Tadeusz. It's a great way to die.

He's been back and forth for two hours.

A letter for you. From Poland.

You should go.

-Why don't you come with me? -Because I'm stubborn!

I want to die in my homeland.

We've lost, Nuria! We failed!

That's why I want to stay!

They won!

Spain isn't safe anymore!

Neither is Poland.

I'm not leaving my homeland until I see Franco dead.

Listen, I'm not going to Poland.

Come with me.

I know who's been sending you those letters.

I had a girlfriend in Spain.

Her name was Nuria.

I don't know why I think of her so much.

Perhaps it's because of the day.

Because...

in a day like this, we said goodbye to each other.

I had a girlfriend in Poland, you know?

Kraine.

She had sent me a letter to tell me I shouldn't go back to Poland.

The volunteers weren't...

welcomed as heroes,

but pointed out as mercenaries.

And to make matters worse,

I was Jewish and a communist.

Things weren't going to be good for me.

She told me I should go to America.

She, her family and mine too

were going there.

But...

the war came,

the Nazis invaded,

and my whole family,

all of it...

I lost touch

with her and everybody else.

Someone told me they had been in Majdanek.

I thought about traveling some time, but no...

No. I couldn't afford it.

So I came to Argentina.

And I went underground

to forget everything.

First, I worked as a builder when they made the subway tunnel.

Then, I was in communications. I liked electronics very much.

And then I was a motorman.

My whole life...

I remained underground until I retired.

Because I didn't want to remember

about these sunny days.

I haven't seen either of the ladies again.

Neither of them.

Lately, I've been wondering

what may have happened with them.

I don't know why I'm telling you all this.

Surprise!

-Why didn't you tell me? -Because it's a surprise!

And guess what? I brought what you like most.

I'm coming in.

You have to tell me first.

-I wanted to give you a surprise! -But I've taken the pill today.

-No! What do you mean? -Yes.

-So we can't...? -If you had told me,

-I wouldn't have taken the pill. -No?

No problem! Let's eat meat roulade!

OK! Let's eat roulade.

Check this out. Come here. Look at this roulade.

Hello?

Hi, Orlando. Yes, I've taken the pill. Of course!

Yes. I'm having a soup right now.

I've got to go or it will get cold.

Goodbye.

With mayonnaise! Here we go!

Orlando?

Sergio?

Excuse me?

I've been doing some research with the names you gave me.

And I have some news. Bad and good.

I can imagine.

First, the bad news.

OK. All right. Give me a minute. I'll open this tab.

OK. "Nuria Cejas Mesa."

"Politician at the times of the Spanish Republic."

"She moved from socialism to the Spanish Communist Party."

"She fought at the Civil War with the foreign volunteers."

"After the Civil War, she went into exile to Paris."

"Soon France was occupied by Hitler's troops

and Nuria Cejas Mesa was involved in the resistance."

"She went back to Spain in 1959,

where she kept her opposition to the Franco regime."

"For that reason, she was under arrest for several periods."

"She died in Segovia, her hometown, in December, 1975."

What a stubborn woman!

She waited for Franco to die first.

And the good news?

I believe...

I've found a relative of your Polish girlfriend.

-How do you know? -Because I'm chatting with a girl...

-That you're what? -Chatting, master. Chatting.

Talking over the internet.

Look at this beauty!

Wait.

It seems she has a relative living near her house.

She'll get back to me.

-Yes, it's her! -No, wait a minute!

It can't be her. She is 25 years old.

-But do you speak Polish? -No.

-So? -In English, master! In English.

Do I have your consent to continue then?

-Yes, sure. -Perfect.

OK. There she's...

Thanks.

-Hi, Pedro. -Hey, Tadeusz.

-How are you? -Come and sit here for a moment.

-How are you, Tadeusz? -How are sales going?

Not very well.

Have you forgotten everything you've fought for?

Yes, I have.

How could you?

I don't know. I got used...

to everything.

I wanted to forget, but...

To everything?

To injustice, to poverty, to inequality? To that much?

To that much.

And when you were young, in Argentina, what did you do?

I was involved in protest marches, complaints, meetings.

What do you have inside that head?

Since you were hurt, you've become scared and uneasy.

Have you got married?

No, and you?

No.

I'll never marry.

Let alone with you.

And the Polish girl?

I don't know.

You have to see her.

Why?

-Because she's always waited for you. -And you?

-Have you waited for me? -Me?

I'm already dead.

If you want,

you know where to find me.

She says that Kraine is there next to her!

What do I reply?

Ask her how she is.

How is she?

She says...

that she's very well.

She's very happy to find you

and she's been thinking a lot about you recently.

Cheer up, master!

Don't get like that. Cheer up!

What do I reply?

-What do I reply? -I don't know. Ask about her husband.

Or the family.

She says...

that her husband died 13 years ago,

she didn't have any children, she has a lot of nephews and nieces

and now she's with her niece, who's a lovely girl.

Yes, she's lovely. Absolutely beautiful.

She's writing now.

She wants you to appear on camera. She wants to see you.

No.

No, I don't...

-I don't think so. -Yes, master, come on!

-You wanted this. -Come on.

You're looking good. Go ahead.

Cheer up! Come on. There you go.

Give me a smile, master.

There you go.

Ready?

Here we go.

What will you do?

I don't know.

All those places are very expensive.

I found one near my house.

It's an old people's home. It seems OK.

Haven't you considered a Jewish one?

-No! A Jewish one? -Maybe they're cheaper.

No! The old man is on bad terms with all the rabbis.

He's an atheist Jew.

I don't know, really. I don't know what to say.

They give me a discount on that one.

-Really? -Yes. It's a Jewish home.

Excuse me?

It's Jewish.

So it's Jewish? And what did I tell you?

About what?

"About what"?

-I suggested a Jewish home! -And I told you the same!

-I don't get it. -Am I speaking Chinese or what?

-I suggested a Jewish one! -And I found him one!

-You found him one? OK! -And with a discount!

I was looking for you. I need to talk to you.

I also need to talk to you.

I want to tell you something.

Do you know I haven't taken my pills for a week?

-And I feel superb! -The same old story again?

Yes. I'm not taking them anymore!

You're a crazy old man who makes me worry!

I'm not taking them anymore!

I'll speak with that doctor, so that he puts you in an asylum!

-Bye! -That's what I'll do!

Mr. Tadeusz. How is he?

He doesn't want to take his pills.

He has to take them. You have to make sure of that.

But he says that, if he takes them...

How can I put this?

He says the pills ruin his sexual life.

-What? -That he doesn't get a hard-on!

He says that, when he takes the pills, "his friend" doesn't work.

But those pills are excellent!

-They are Swiss. -He doesn't want to take them!

He hasn't taken them for a week.

And why does Mr. Tadeusz want an active sexual life at his age?

I'm going to quote him.

He says that, when he gets a hard-on,

he remembers everything, he plays chess.

He gets excited, he gets a hard-on again.

-It's like a vicious circle. -I get it.

But he has to take them anyway.

He doesn't want to. What should I do?

Mr. Tadeusz has had a head trauma recently, right?

Yes, but this comes from before.

It's possible that the pills affect his sexual life.

What about his memory?

His memory problem can be due to the head trauma.

A vein may be blocked,

so an area is more irrigated than others.

That may cause his memory to be more active.

What should I do, doctor?

Bring him here. I'll run some tests.

-Hi. -Hello.

-Was the old man here? -No.

I haven't seen him for a while.

-That's weird. -Yes.

Bye.

-Hi. Has the old man been around? -Mr. Tadeusz?

-Yes. -No. I haven't seen him for a while.

-Hi, how are you? -Hey. What's up?

Fine. Was Mr. Tadeusz here today?

Mr. Tadeusz...

No, not today.

What are you doing?

I can't find the old man anywhere.

Do you want a biscuit?

"Why don't you come here,

to Poland?"

I don't have any money!

No, no! Wait! Don't write that!

Wait a second.

No, wait. She'll think I'm a bum.

Wait! She's writing.

"You'd only need to buy the plane tickets.

You'd be my guest here."

Then tell her "yes."

Next week, I'll take a plane to go and visit her.

Now you're talking, master!

Very good!

I'm going to Poland!

I've prepared this for you.

The best option is to fly via Madrid.

From Madrid, you take a plane to Warsaw.

And then you take a connection flight

to that village, Lublin.

Up to now, I've got two rates.

It would be two thousand dollars, taxes and fees included,

but that doesn't include the connection flight.

In any case, you can pay in twelve installments.

Luisito!

Bring me another gin!

-No, I'm about to close. -Mr. Tadeusz!

-Come on! -Are you OK?

Yes, I'm fine.

What's the matter?

Nothing. I've made up my mind to finally go to Poland

and I don't have...

enough money.

-How much do you need? -1,470.

OK, let me see.

Dollars.

No, you've got it wrong, Mr. Tadeusz.

Seven minus two is five.

You need 1,570.

What?

-How many has he had? -That is the third one.

Yes, call him.

Old man, let's go home.

Come on, let's go.

-Up. Let's go home. -What, Orlando?

Come on, let's go home. Thank you.

Come on. Let's go.

Help us a little here.

-What? -Stand up. There you go.

Let's go home. It's all right.

-Give me my cap! -Here. It's OK. Thank you.

Asshole.

Where are we?

Me? I'm in Italy.

You? I don't know.

Look, his brain damage is a latent risk.

At any moment, he may have a cerebrovascular accident.

You know how this kind of things are.

-Yes. -A man his age...

I see.

He wants to go to Poland.

It'd be like his last wish, wouldn't it?

Hi, Mr. Tadeusz?

How are you doing?

I'm glad to hear that.

When will you come back this way?

That's great! It's good to hear that.

-Tell him about the letter. -Yes, sure.

Hey, you forgot your letter here.

Yes! No, don't worry. We're waiting for you!

Come whenever you want to.

Tell him about my brother-in-law's friend.

Yes, OK!

Romualdo here says he has a friend...

It's his brother-in-law's friend. All right.

We'll be waiting for you!

I bet that Polish woman has light-blue eyes.

That's why you walk out on me.

No, I'm not walking out on you.

I mean it, I'm not.

I bet she won't be such a great cook as I am.

That's out of the question!

And neither will she know how to do everything I do to you.

Least of all.

What if we make a toast?

With digestif! There we go.

-In the champagne glasses! -You had it all prepared.

Sure, I got it all ready.

-We have to digest! -You do know me.

-Here you go. -Here we go.

One here. And the other one.

This is for me, and that is for you.

All right.

Cheers, cheers!

Don't take it the wrong way.

I heard about your trip and I thought...

I wanted to cooperate, let's say.

Don't take it the wrong way, Mr. Tadeusz.

No! Please, I insist.

Maybe you can buy a beer or something.

Thank you.

Orlando's about to pass by any time now.

Here he comes.

When I was a motorman,

I turned the crank all the time.

Now it's a different technology.

I had the chance to drive one of those.

When?

I worked here until 1982.

They were used until 1987, and you brought me here in 1984.

You're right.

You're right!

You used to ask me a lot of questions.

Really?

You bet!

Why are you going to Poland?

I'm Polish.

To see that woman from the internet.

Who is she?

A girlfriend I used to have.

I knew about a Spanish girlfriend.

I'm going to visit her later.

Actually, I'm going to visit both of them.

Take it.

Estela and I, we wanted...

to give you a hand.

And Mateo wrote you a letter.

When will you come back?

Never.

I want to die in my hometown.

I told you!

-You're making me nervous! -Mr. Tadeusz!

How are you?

You look strong! How are you doing?

You look great.

It's so good to see you!

How were the tests results?

I'm fit to travel...

to Poland.

Congratulations! That's great news!

My friends and I wanted to help you so that you can afford the ticket.

We've collected this,

and we want you to take it without a word.

Oh, my! My goodness.

-It's the least we could do. -You deserve it, master.

Thank you very much.

With this...

I only need five hundred more!

And there's one more thing.

The other day, when Orlando came for you,

you forgot this envelope on the table.

I'm giving it back to you.

And our friend here said he knows a stamp dealer.

He's interested in the stamp. Mr. Cirone, master Tadeusz.

-Nice to meet you. Cirone. -Nice to meet you too, sir.

I'll leave you two to talk. It started raining.

-I see. -Yes.

I guess he has already told you

I'm interested in the stamp and the envelope of your letter.

Unfortunately, it won't be possible.

The thing is...

-This letter dates back to 1939. -That's the point!

I'm offering you...

an important amount. I know how valuable it is for you.

OK. Let's say...

we get to an agreement.

Six hundred dollars.

Six hundred dollars is outrageous!

Tell me your figure.

A hundred and fifty dollars.

You're offending me.

I won't start bargaining with 200, 225, 250. No.

I'm paying an important amount.

I'll offer you...

three hundred dollars.

I'm sorry.

But no.

Five hundred.

Five hundred dollars?

Five hundred dollars.

It's been a pleasure.

Congratulations! You had us on edge!

Congratulations!

You had us on edge. Very good!

In there you have the chess magazine I told you about.

OK.

"Sicilian Opening" and a couple others.

Have a good journey.

Mateo.

-Will you read the books I left you? -Yes.

-I'm already reading one. -I bet! Which one?

"Don Quixote."

-I'll send you more from there. -OK.

-Bye, Estela. -I'll miss you a lot.

Write to us, now that you know how to use the internet.

Of course.

I love you so much.

Me too.

Orlando.

Old man, have a good journey.

Aerolíneas Argentinas announces the departure

of flight AR2405 to Madrid.

Passengers kindly proceed towards the gate S11.

-Bye, Orlando. -Bye.

This way.

Bye, old man.

See you when I get back.

To my dad, my grandparents, and my masters.
