Original subtitles

I dreamed that a white light entered my body.

The light was bright and really intense.

It was before me,

ready to take over my body.

To overrun me completely.

I knew it was the end of me,

but I wasn't scared.

DANTE AND SOLEDAD

INCOMING CALL: MOM

What? Definitely not.

Jesus, Mom!

Dante and Soledad.

Soledad.

Alone.

Lonely.

Those who are named Soledad

are known for their strong character,

with which they face all sorts of situations.

Dante...

from the Latin 'durans.'

Enduring.

Resistant.

Layla.

Night.

Beautiful.

Beautiful like the night.

Should I get her out of there?

Maybe not.

I don't want to wake her up.

Do you think she's hungry?

I have no idea.

Remember what Julie said.

The people at the hospital did say her blood sugar

could drop.

What now? Should I take her to our room?

Yeah. I'll leave her on the bed.

Wait, I'll do it.

What happened to the vase...?

The one by the entrance, I didn't see it.

It broke.

I only noticed today.

Do you think she's hungry?

- I just fed her. - But she's still crying.

So, distract her.

Babe?

Babe, she's hungry.

- Can we give her some formula? - No!

She's fussy.

We need to get a bigger tank.

I worry the fish might hurt each other.

If her blood sugar level drops, it can be really dangerous.

We should give her the formula.

Don't even think about it.

If you sit, she'll never stop.

- Come here, fish. - Be quiet.

Five...

What's wrong?

What's wrong, sweetie? What is it?

Sweetie!

...that spouts from the fountain

A nice little fish Jumped all of a sudden

Hey, little fish You wanna come out?

To play with my hula-hoop Let's go into the yard

I live in the water I cannot come out

Because if I do I'm going to die

My mommy has told me You cannot go out

Because if you do You're going to die...

I changed the water yesterday. How did it get murky so fast?

Look.

The male murks up the water when there are poor conditions

to procreate.

I wanna be with her...

Look who's finally here!

- How are you? - Great!

The grandmas...

Not grandmas?

No grandmas...

No grandmas...

To grandmas.

Say it with an accent.

Grandmas!

To abuelas!

- The dog? - Have some of mine.

To Layla's grandmas!

- I'll open another bottle. - Yes!

Grandmas!

To Layla's grandmas!

Do you need any help?

Inés, do you need anything?

That'd be amazing.

She's finally asleep.

Why are there two milking machines?

One broke, so I had to buy another.

- Which one? - That one.

That one's broken?

- I'll throw it away - What do you mean?

- What? - Don't throw it away.

What if it suddenly works again?

What if it doesn't?

This thing... you still use it?

Of course I use it.

It's hideous.

- So? - Well...

Look at this thing.

Isn't it beautiful?

Meow.

Oh, look how pretty!

I like the color palette.

They're more for a two-year-old.

Well...

You don't want to?

Yes, but it hurts.

Be gentle.

Where's the monitor?

Where is the monitor?

I'm back.

Come here.

Oh, that little laugh!

What are you saying my little love.

Harder. Pull harder.

That's it!

Again.

Good job!

Here it comes.

You look beautiful.

I thought you'd be home earlier.

I finished work a bit late and grabbed something to eat.

You said you'd be here early to look after Layla

so I could go to Alina's exhibit.

- I'm so sorry, I forgot. - It's fine.

Hey, the keys. You can still make it in time.

Hey, uh...

Didn't you say Wednesday?

Yes.

It's Tuesday, babe.

You don't like this spot? Not really?

Look! Who's there?

Over there.

Not my finger, over there.

Let's see.

Look, a jellyfish.

A starfish.

Another jellyfish.

A fish.

A jellyfish.

Here's a little spider that likes to walk around.

What's the matter, sweetie?

What is it, sweetie?

What's the matter with this beautiful baby?

You have such beautiful eyes. What's the matter?

Come on, grab it.

There you go.

Good. No. Don't put it in your mouth.

A bird!

No, not the purple bird.

You could poke your eye.

What's this?

What's this? It's a rattle.

No. Don't put it in your mouth.

I know you hate it. I know.

- Hi, Mom. - Hey, sweetie! How are you?

How are you feeling?

- How's Layla? - Fine. We're great.

You finally got yourself a nanny.

Mom, no.

Please stop asking that.

I decided to quit my job to stay with Layla.

I actually want to be with her.

- How are you, ma'am? - Hello, Vicente.

I'm fine, here in Mexico, everything's all right.

Are you planning to visit soon?

Uh...

Soon, yeah, soon. We don't know when exactly,

we don't have a date, but we'll visit soon.

If you take too long, I guess I'll come to you.

Inés must be exhausted.

You know you're welcome anytime.

We could certainly use a visit, so...

So...

Do you mind if Inés calls you back in a bit?

Once she's free, you can talk details.

- Okay. - Okay!

- I'll wait for her call. - Bye.

How do you know what I need if you're never home?

- What do you mean? - You're not, asshole.

How dare you tell my mother I can't handle my own child!

I never said such thing.

Inés!

Hey, you.

What's going on?

What's up, sweetie?

What's up?

Wait, give me a chance to put my stuff down.

What's up with that?

It's huge, the house will look like a Chinese restaurant.

Why didn't you wait for me before you got it?

I've been waiting for months.

It's hideous.

Suck it up.

To avoid accidents, follow these recommendations.

Equipment failure may result in the death of the fish.

Salt water may cause serious accidents.

Around coral reefs, oxygen levels are stable.

Failure may result in the death of the fish.

Once the equipment is in place,

they need two charges and grounding.

Follow these recommendations.

They must be controlled and secured preferably

with a differential circuit breaker to prevent accidents.

Salt water may cause serious accidents.

What's this?

You haven't cooked in a while, it looks delicious.

Are you complaining?

No, on the contrary.

I said it looks delicious.

Thank you.

- Do you want some? - No.

You want to try this?

Is this what you wanted, Vicente?

What?

This.

Having a baby.

What do you need?

I don't know.

I need you to spend more time here.

You know I can't do that.

You decided to quit your job, and no, I'm not complaining.

It's just that someone has to work.

Right?

I'd love to stay here all day having fun with you...

That's the problem!

You think I enjoy being here.

You make it sound like I do nothing all day,

like I'm taking a vacation, but I'm exhausted.

I don't have time for myself.

We decided to have a child to raise it together, Vicente.

If you're so tired, let your mom help.

- No. - She offered.

No. The last thing I need is having my mom here

bossing me around.

I'll try to spend more time here.

What's all this? What's happening here?

What is this? Do you like it?

Yes, you do, more?

Isn't that nice?

What's happening here? What's all this?

- The water's too hot. - No, it's not. It's fine.

- That's not her soap. - She's having fun.

- Yes, but that's not the soap... - Can I bathe my daughter?!

Please.

Vicente.

Vicente.

I'm begging you.

Go check on her.

There's milk in the fridge.

I have work tomorrow. I need to sleep.

I also need to sleep.

I'm completely worn out.

Layla.

Layla.

Eeny, meeny, miney...

You didn't go to work?

What are you doing?

Why did you put away my books?

You're not using them right now.

I'm using that mat!

When you need it, take it out.

No, I use it every day!

So, take it out every day, and then put it back.

You should ask me next time before moving my things.

Inés, they're reference books.

Are you going to start reading them at night?

When you need them, you can take them out.

In the clear water That spouts from the fountain

A nice little fish Jumped all of a sudden

Hey, little fish You wanna come out?

To play with my hula-hoop Let's go into the yard...

Let's go up!

Hey, Inés...

- Seriously, darling... - It's really hot today.

- Yeah, I know. - So, how are things?

How are you feeling?

- I'll take her to bed. - Cheers!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

With the second generation.

- Let's go, okay. - More strawberries?

- Do you need any help? - I'll put her down.

- All right. - Bye, baby.

I'm going for a walk while she's asleep.

When I found out that Layla was a girl,

I got terribly scared.

What if I wasn't able to connect with her?

What if I became you?

- Inés! - Inés!

Inés!

Inés!

Inés!

Inés!

It's ok.

Inés?

- Can you see us? - Over here!

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

- Where were you? - I got lost.

Inés, something happened.

What is it?

Your fish had an accident.

- An accident? - They got into a fight.

- What do you mean? - Exactly what I said.

They got in a fight.

Where were you? How could you not see them?

Why did you leave the female alone in the big tank?

Well, the male was hurt.

- Why did you separate them? - That's what you told me to do!

You said it was better to separate them.

They should not be in the same tank.

What gives you the right to separate them?

I don't.

I don't have the right, Inés.

They're fish, okay?

Next time, I'll just let them kill each other.

I live in the water I cannot come out

Because if I do I'm going to die...

Aww, what's wrong?

Oh, I know.

I know, baby.

I know.

Oh, my poor baby! I know.

Where have you been?

I got held up at the office.

I tried to call you all night, where were you?

- Why didn't you answer? - I had no service.

- I thought something happened. - Good thing it didn't.

Layla has had a fever all night! I can't break it.

You weren't answering. Where were you?!

- You're not here! You're never... - Enough!

That's enough!

I'm so sick of you.

- I can't take this anymore. - How do you think I feel?

- I don't care. - How do you think I feel?!

I don't give a shit how you feel!

I'm sick of this! I can't do it!

I'm done!

I'm getting out of here. I can't stand you, I'm done.

Vicente, she almost drowned!

In the tub...

Vicente told me what happened.

What did he say?

Are you feeling well?

Yes, I'm fine.

No.

You're not okay.

You're really underweight.

- Are you eating enough? - Oh, Mom.

Layla is so cute.

- She's grown so much. - Yeah.

She's lovely.

What is this?

Don't eat it. Don't eat it, sweetie.

I went to see the daycare center that Cosi recommended.

It's not bad.

- She'll be okay, right? - Yes.

I know it feels weird leaving her in daycare, but...

she'll be okay.

I told the guys at the office I'll be in a little later.

How about we go home and have a talk?

Sure.

Do you want some tea?

No.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Inés. Come here.

It's Dante.

My eyes weren't prepared to see that light....

that light...

so bright.

The more I tried to stare at the sun,

the more I deprived them of light.

That dazzled me.

Everything seems blurred.

Slowly I could see the edges of things.

Your face,

the mountains,

the reality.

Another reality.

Layla, Laylita, la-la.

Layla, Laylilla, la-la.

Layla, Laylilla, la-la.
