1
00:00:32,376 --> 00:00:35,616
<i>Buenos Aires is growing
uncontrollably and imperfectly.</i>

2
00:00:36,110 --> 00:00:39,021
<i>An overpopulated city
in a deserted country.</i>

3
00:00:39,244 --> 00:00:43,279
<i>A city in which thousands
of buildings rise into the sky.</i>

4
00:00:43,643 --> 00:00:45,383
<i>Arbitrarily.</i>

5
00:00:59,678 --> 00:01:02,316
<i>Next to a tall one, a small one.</i>

6
00:01:02,611 --> 00:01:05,782
<i>Next to a rational one,
an irrational one.</i>

7
00:01:06,612 --> 00:01:10,249
<i>Next to a French one,
one with no style at all.</i>

8
00:01:11,278 --> 00:01:15,018
<i>These irregularities
probably reflect us perfectly.</i>

9
00:01:15,712 --> 00:01:18,747
Aesthetic and ethical
irregularities.

10
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,058
<i>These buildings,
which adhere to no logic,</i>

11
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:36,056
<i>represent bad planning.</i>

12
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,522
<i>Just like our lives:</i>

13
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:46,556
<i>We have no idea how
we want them to be.</i>

14
00:01:49,747 --> 00:01:53,191
<i>We live as if Buenos Aires
were a stopover.</i>

15
00:01:53,681 --> 00:01:56,818
<i>We've created
a "culture of tenants".</i>

16
00:02:21,282 --> 00:02:26,693
<i>The buildings are becoming smaller
to make space for even smaller ones.</i>

17
00:02:31,417 --> 00:02:33,486
<i>Apartments are measured
by their number of rooms</i>

18
00:02:34,317 --> 00:02:37,818
<i>and range from five rooms
with balconies,</i>

19
00:02:37,983 --> 00:02:41,484
<i>playrooms, servants' quarters
and storerooms</i>

20
00:02:41,917 --> 00:02:45,486
<i>to one-room apartments
also known as "shoeboxes".</i>

21
00:02:56,218 --> 00:02:59,287
<i>Just like almost
all man-made objects,</i>

22
00:02:59,418 --> 00:03:03,090
buildings are made
to differentiate between us.

23
00:03:05,685 --> 00:03:10,823
<i>There's a front and a back side.
High and low apartments.</i>

24
00:03:11,352 --> 00:03:15,797
<i>Privileged people have the letter A
or sometimes B.</i>

25
00:03:16,018 --> 00:03:19,929
<i>The farther back in the alphabet,
the worse the apartment.</i>

26
00:03:20,886 --> 00:03:25,456
<i>The promised view and brightness
rarely coincide with reality.</i>

27
00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:32,630
<i>What can be expected of a city
that turns its back on its river?</i>

28
00:03:33,986 --> 00:03:37,022
<i>I'm convinced that separations,
divorces</i>

29
00:03:37,353 --> 00:03:41,321
<i>domestic violence,
the excess of cable TV stations,</i>

30
00:03:41,453 --> 00:03:44,829
<i>the lack of communication,
listlessness,</i>

31
00:03:44,954 --> 00:03:49,092
<i>apathy, depression, suicide,</i>

32
00:03:49,254 --> 00:03:51,858
<i>neuroses, panic attacks,</i>

33
00:03:52,054 --> 00:03:54,726
obesity, tenseness,

34
00:03:54,955 --> 00:03:57,364
<i>insecurity, hypochondria,</i>

35
00:03:57,521 --> 00:04:00,329
<i>stress and a sedentary lifestyle</i>

36
00:04:00,455 --> 00:04:04,796
<i>are attributable to architects
and builders.</i>

37
00:04:04,988 --> 00:04:09,763
<i>I suffer from all of these illnesses
except suicide.</i>

38
00:04:27,857 --> 00:04:31,323
<i>This is my one-room apartment.
400 square feet</i>

39
00:04:31,456 --> 00:04:34,866
<i>and one miserable window
for one breathless lung.</i>

40
00:04:35,556 --> 00:04:38,558
<i>Santa F�, 1105.</i>

41
00:04:38,723 --> 00:04:41,463
<i>Fourth ?oor. H.</i>

42
00:04:48,424 --> 00:04:50,629
<i>I sat down at my computer
ten years ago</i>

43
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:53,894
<i>and feel like
I've never got up again.</i>

44
00:04:54,191 --> 00:04:57,499
<i>I don't know if the Internet is
the future, but it was mine:</i>

45
00:04:57,625 --> 00:05:01,125
<i>I design websites
and this is my cyberspace</i>

46
00:05:01,258 --> 00:05:03,463
<i>I don't know if I'm good
or just got into it early,</i>

47
00:05:03,592 --> 00:05:04,968
<i>but I'm very busy.</i>

48
00:05:05,091 --> 00:05:08,535
<i>I began with my psychiatrist�s
website for phobics:</i>

49
00:05:08,658 --> 00:05:12,659
<i>His specialty and the reason
why I visit him twice a week.</i>

50
00:05:20,826 --> 00:05:22,770
<i>This game is a hit.</i>

51
00:05:22,893 --> 00:05:27,031
<i>It's for insomniacs
fighting pill addiction.</i>

52
00:05:31,526 --> 00:05:35,096
<i>My psychiatrist calls me
a phobic on my way to recovery.</i>

53
00:05:35,227 --> 00:05:38,865
<i>Due to repeated, violent panic attacks,
I locked myself in my apartment</i>

54
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,433
<i>for years.</i>

55
00:05:41,393 --> 00:05:44,769
<i>I won 17 championships
at expert level.</i>

56
00:05:44,894 --> 00:05:46,872
<i>Four times undefeated,
nine times top scorer.</i>

57
00:05:47,594 --> 00:05:50,072
<i>I beat Federer four times
at Wimbledon.</i>

58
00:05:51,194 --> 00:05:54,434
<i>I became Godfather
of the Corleone family</i>

59
00:05:54,561 --> 00:05:57,334
<i>I was totally isolated. Scared.</i>

60
00:05:57,528 --> 00:06:01,631
<i>My psychiatrist developed
a strategy to help me overcome</i>

61
00:06:01,761 --> 00:06:04,534
<i>my fear of the city:
Photography.</i>

62
00:06:05,229 --> 00:06:07,638
<i>A way to rediscover
the city and people.</i>

63
00:06:09,529 --> 00:06:12,700
<i>A search for beauty where
it's not apparent.</i>

64
00:06:12,828 --> 00:06:15,363
<i>Observing is being and not being.</i>

65
00:06:15,496 --> 00:06:18,372
<i>Or being in another way.</i>

66
00:06:19,130 --> 00:06:21,869
<i>I distracted myself.</i>

67
00:06:22,330 --> 00:06:26,740
<i>I don't take the bus or taxis.
Much less the subway,</i>

68
00:06:26,863 --> 00:06:30,808
<i>and I'd never take a plane.
I only go by foot</i>

69
00:06:30,963 --> 00:06:34,999
<i>and always have
my survival backpack.</i>

70
00:06:35,130 --> 00:06:39,075
<i>Contents: a Leica D-Lux 3
with 10 mega pixels.</i>

71
00:06:39,231 --> 00:06:43,073
<i>Rivotril drops, 2.5 mg.
Amoxicillin 500.</i>

72
00:06:43,197 --> 00:06:47,232
<i>Ibuprofen. Sunglasses.
A plastic rain coat.</i>

73
00:06:47,364 --> 00:06:49,865
<i>A Victorinox with 21 tools.</i>

74
00:06:50,030 --> 00:06:54,475
<i>Flashlight with batteries.
Condoms, three units.</i>

75
00:06:54,598 --> 00:06:59,304
<i>400 pesos cash in small bills.
An iPod with 60 GB</i>

76
00:06:59,431 --> 00:07:01,807
<i>and more than 8,000 songs.</i>

77
00:07:01,931 --> 00:07:05,466
<i>Three Tati films. A notebook.
And a plastic card</i>

78
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:08,907
<i>about how to proceed
in case of an accident</i>

79
00:07:09,031 --> 00:07:10,202
<i>or panic attack.</i>

80
00:07:17,832 --> 00:07:22,776
<i>The backpack weighs 5.8 kG.
7 % of my body weight.</i>

81
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:38,169
<i>I've been an architect for two years,
but still haven't built anything.</i>

82
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:42,869
<i>Neither a building, nor a house,
nor a bathroom. Nothing.</i>

83
00:07:43,033 --> 00:07:47,307
<i>Only models that are uninhabitable,
and not only because of their scale...</i>

84
00:07:48,901 --> 00:07:51,845
<i>I didn't fare well
with other constructions either:</i>

85
00:07:52,001 --> 00:07:54,070
<i>My four-year relationship collapsed</i>

86
00:07:54,201 --> 00:07:56,974
<i>despite my ef fons to shore it up.</i>

87
00:07:57,135 --> 00:08:00,306
<i>If my life were a game of life,</i>

88
00:08:00,468 --> 00:08:04,844
<i>I'd have to move back five spaces.</i>

89
00:08:05,301 --> 00:08:07,075
<i>That's why I'm here:</i>

90
00:08:07,201 --> 00:08:10,372
<i>With my disorderly life in 27 boxes,</i>

91
00:08:10,502 --> 00:08:14,538
<i>I sit on twelve meters
of bubble wrap, popping bubbles</i>

92
00:08:14,668 --> 00:08:17,306
<i>so that I myself don't pop.</i>

93
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:32,638
<i>This is my new old shoebox</i>

94
00:08:32,769 --> 00:08:36,441
<i>that these ridiculous five steps
make into a "duplex".</i>

95
00:08:38,303 --> 00:08:42,077
<i>And this is the freakish thing,
half window, half balcony,</i>

96
00:08:42,203 --> 00:08:44,841
<i>that the sun shuns all year long.</i>

97
00:08:47,704 --> 00:08:52,445
<i>Avenida Santa Fe, 1183.
Eighth floor. G</i>

98
00:08:52,638 --> 00:08:53,944
<i>as in gastritis.</i>

99
00:08:56,805 --> 00:09:00,578
<i>This is my favourite building
in Buenos Aires.</i>

100
00:09:00,738 --> 00:09:03,807
<i>It's the best location
and the most fun.</i>

101
00:09:04,272 --> 00:09:06,875
<i>It's built with
my favourite materials:</i>

102
00:09:07,005 --> 00:09:09,676
Concrete, steel and glass.

103
00:09:10,372 --> 00:09:14,077
<i>One of the world's few buildings</i>

104
00:09:14,205 --> 00:09:16,683
<i>with an equilateral
triangular base,</i>

105
00:09:16,806 --> 00:09:19,943
<i>it was inspired
by Saturn and its rings.</i>

106
00:09:20,272 --> 00:09:23,376
<i>Even if most people
see a flying saucer.</i>

107
00:09:24,306 --> 00:09:29,011
<i>I enter it expecting
to take off and leave this world.</i>

108
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,343
<i>But in reality,
the planetarium puts me in my place,</i>

109
00:09:39,473 --> 00:09:42,781
<i>reminding me that
the world doesn't revolve around me.</i>

110
00:09:42,907 --> 00:09:46,181
<i>I'm a very small
pan of a planet</i>

111
00:09:46,307 --> 00:09:50,911
<i>that's pan of a system
that's pan of a galaxy</i>

112
00:09:51,174 --> 00:09:55,710
<i>that, like hundreds of thousands
of galaxies, forms pan of the universe.</i>

113
00:09:57,008 --> 00:10:02,476
<i>It reminds me that I'm pan of
an infinite and eternal whole.</i>

114
00:10:04,008 --> 00:10:07,543
A SHORT AUTUMN

115
00:11:09,445 --> 00:11:11,424
The dog committed suicide.

116
00:11:12,346 --> 00:11:17,915
Apparently it was a 40-year-old
prostitute's only companion

117
00:11:18,212 --> 00:11:23,418
and was locked out on the balcony
so it wouldn't bother her customers.

118
00:11:25,813 --> 00:11:28,814
The dog went mad when
they touched her.

119
00:11:32,447 --> 00:11:34,754
No wonder it jumped

120
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,247
Alone, on such a small balcony.

121
00:11:40,447 --> 00:11:42,356
STRANGE ACCIDENT
IN BUENOS AIRES:

122
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,583
A DEAD DOG
AND TWO INJURED PEOPLE

123
00:12:16,182 --> 00:12:18,092
Sig nature.

124
00:12:20,983 --> 00:12:22,927
Thanks.

125
00:14:45,657 --> 00:14:48,692
DISC ARTHROSIS

126
00:14:54,591 --> 00:14:58,558
You look terrible,
but you're perfectly healthy.

127
00:14:58,925 --> 00:15:03,801
The only strange things are the fifth and sixth
vertebrae, which you've had since birth.

128
00:15:03,925 --> 00:15:10,234
Otherwise, you'd be screaming
in pain, so it's not that.

129
00:15:10,659 --> 00:15:13,660
Are you dizzy? No.

130
00:15:14,225 --> 00:15:18,795
Just do some fitness training
and lighten up your backpack.

131
00:15:20,492 --> 00:15:23,027
There's nothing serious,
nothing at all.

132
00:15:24,393 --> 00:15:26,393
You see...

133
00:15:28,426 --> 00:15:31,632
Those reports are written by kids

134
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,000
in laboratories or hospitals
who write

135
00:15:35,126 --> 00:15:37,331
down everything to protect
themselves.

136
00:15:37,460 --> 00:15:41,064
They're not perfect.
What can you do?

137
00:15:41,327 --> 00:15:44,533
If you want to worry, go ahead,
but not about that.

138
00:16:05,928 --> 00:16:07,907
You're the same.

139
00:16:27,897 --> 00:16:31,534
<i>Until I can work as an architect,
I'm designing shop windows.</i>

140
00:16:31,763 --> 00:16:34,764
<i>It distracts me
from other thoughts.</i>

141
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:39,574
<i>I think of the windows
as lost places.</i>

142
00:16:39,697 --> 00:16:42,732
<i>They're neither inside
nor outside.</i>

143
00:16:43,297 --> 00:16:45,502
<i>An abstract and magic space.</i>

144
00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:48,131
<i>They reflect a pan of me.</i>

145
00:16:48,264 --> 00:16:50,902
<i>At the same time,
the anonymity calms me.</i>

146
00:16:51,364 --> 00:16:54,366
<i>Maybe it's stupid, burl think:</i>

147
00:16:54,498 --> 00:16:56,635
<i>If someone stops to look,</i>

148
00:16:56,764 --> 00:16:59,572
<i>they're somehow interested in me.</i>

149
00:17:38,033 --> 00:17:40,739
<i>I've had this book since I was 14.</i>

150
00:17:40,867 --> 00:17:43,504
<i>And forgive me, great writers,</i>

151
00:17:43,634 --> 00:17:46,169
<i>but it's a key book in my life.</i>

152
00:17:46,467 --> 00:17:49,207
<i>It's the origin of
my fear of crowds,</i>

153
00:17:49,334 --> 00:17:52,971
<i>which has become existential.</i>

154
00:17:54,101 --> 00:17:56,170
<i>It dramatically represents</i>

155
00:17:56,301 --> 00:18:01,042
<i>the fear of knowing
I'm one lost person among millions.</i>

156
00:18:02,102 --> 00:18:06,410
<i>Years have passed and I still can't
solve one of the puzzles:</i>

157
00:18:06,635 --> 00:18:08,840
<i>"Wally in the City".</i>

158
00:18:08,968 --> 00:18:13,276
<i>I found him shopping,
at the airport and the beach,</i>

159
00:18:13,402 --> 00:18:15,903
but not in the city.

160
00:18:16,069 --> 00:18:19,774
<i>Perhaps my nerves
have blinded me.</i>

161
00:18:20,369 --> 00:18:22,472
<i>So I'm wondering:</i>

162
00:18:22,602 --> 00:18:26,705
<i>If I can't find a person
when I know who I'm looking for,</i>

163
00:18:26,836 --> 00:18:30,905
<i>how can I find a person when
I don't know who I'm looking for?</i>

164
00:18:32,436 --> 00:18:36,209
"Hi, I'm Sus�,
part stuffed animal and part dog."

165
00:18:36,336 --> 00:18:38,837
<i>Seven years ago, my girlfriend
visited her parents</i>

166
00:18:38,970 --> 00:18:44,176
<i>in New Jersey, USA.
She wanted to stay for a few weeks.</i>

167
00:18:44,437 --> 00:18:47,813
<i>As painful as it was for her,
she called me collect to say</i>

168
00:18:47,937 --> 00:18:50,176
<i>she wasn't coming back.</i>

169
00:18:50,337 --> 00:18:54,111
<i>It was her new home and she'd
realised she was very American.</i>

170
00:18:54,738 --> 00:19:00,012
<i>Ingenious! She felt very American
when Argentina was devalued.</i>

171
00:19:00,138 --> 00:19:05,276
<i>The truth is, there wasn't much
to keep her here: me and her dog.</i>

172
00:19:05,472 --> 00:19:08,882
<i>She left her with the best
of intentions too.</i>

173
00:19:09,006 --> 00:19:11,813
<i>She claimed the change in language</i>

174
00:19:11,972 --> 00:19:13,881
<i>would be too difficult for her.</i>

175
00:19:28,673 --> 00:19:31,083
You know planes make me nervous.

176
00:19:31,207 --> 00:19:34,117
Please take the rock I travel with.

177
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,082
- You've only travelled once.
- Well, it worked.

178
00:19:38,973 --> 00:19:42,508
It's my kabbalah. Do it for me.

179
00:19:45,541 --> 00:19:47,314
Alright.

180
00:19:56,375 --> 00:20:00,251
<i>AH at once,
I lost the woman I loved</i>

181
00:20:00,475 --> 00:20:02,919
<i>and my ability to fly.</i>

182
00:20:39,210 --> 00:20:43,712
<i>Hello, this is Mariana.
Leave a message after the beep.</i>

183
00:20:49,545 --> 00:20:51,614
<i>Hello, hello. Are you there?</i>

184
00:20:55,311 --> 00:20:59,221
<i>Alright. I just wanted
to tell you that tonight</i>

185
00:20:59,678 --> 00:21:03,122
<i>a great film will be on TV</i>

186
00:21:03,478 --> 00:21:05,786
<i>with Bill Murray
and the groundhog.</i>

187
00:21:07,078 --> 00:21:11,614
<i>And because you took the TV,
I thought we could watch it together.</i>

188
00:21:13,112 --> 00:21:16,522
<i>Pick up. I know you're there.</i>

189
00:21:21,913 --> 00:21:25,721
<i>Are you with a guy?
You screwed me!</i>

190
00:21:25,846 --> 00:21:29,586
<i>How can you be close
to someone so different?</i>

191
00:21:30,113 --> 00:21:34,990
<i>That's the stupid conclusion
after a four-year relationship.</i>

192
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,517
<i>Four years are 48 months.</i>

193
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,851
<i>1460 days.</i>

194
00:21:43,181 --> 00:21:47,592
<i>35,040 hours
with the wrong person.</i>

195
00:21:50,981 --> 00:21:56,016
<i>I watched him one night
and realised everything:</i>

196
00:21:56,848 --> 00:21:59,587
<i>For the first time, he was distant,</i>

197
00:21:59,714 --> 00:22:03,318
<i>as if he were completely unfamiliar.</i>

198
00:22:03,682 --> 00:22:07,922
<i>I suddenly feared
being alone with a stranger.</i>

199
00:22:11,282 --> 00:22:12,726
<i>And here I am:</i>

200
00:22:12,849 --> 00:22:16,554
In the same apartment
that I abandoned to live with him.

201
00:22:16,815 --> 00:22:21,556
<i>In front of the same mirror.
Four years later.</i>

202
00:23:09,252 --> 00:23:13,355
A LONG WINTER

203
00:23:58,855 --> 00:24:00,423
Thanks.

204
00:24:47,024 --> 00:24:50,195
<i>The Internet brings me closer to
the world, but further from life.</i>

205
00:24:50,324 --> 00:24:53,325
<i>I do banking and read magazines
on the Internet,</i>

206
00:24:53,558 --> 00:24:56,059
<i>download music and listen to
the radio on the Internet,</i>

207
00:24:56,457 --> 00:25:00,061
<i>order food on the Internet,
watch films on the Internet,</i>

208
00:25:00,225 --> 00:25:02,702
<i>chat on the Internet,
study on the Internet,</i>

209
00:25:02,958 --> 00:25:08,062
<i>play on the Internet, have sex
on the Internet and search for...</i>

210
00:25:08,192 --> 00:25:09,568
DOG SITTER

211
00:25:12,992 --> 00:25:16,198
Come here, Sus�.

212
00:25:17,426 --> 00:25:21,336
Come here, Sus�. Come.

213
00:25:34,993 --> 00:25:37,597
- This is Sus�.
- Alright.

214
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:41,133
She's not used to
being with other animals.

215
00:25:41,260 --> 00:25:45,466
- Then you'd better come with us.
- Alright, I'll take her.

216
00:25:59,361 --> 00:26:03,033
- Can you get me a fag from my pocket?
- Here?

217
00:26:10,695 --> 00:26:12,969
- Got a light?
- No.

218
00:26:14,496 --> 00:26:17,497
- Get it from my pocket.
- Here?

219
00:27:23,832 --> 00:27:25,435
- How long?
- Are you gay?

220
00:27:30,966 --> 00:27:34,308
- Because of the dog
- Oh, right.

221
00:27:36,934 --> 00:27:42,277
It's not mine. It belongs to a friend
who went to the USA.

222
00:27:42,401 --> 00:27:44,037
She asked me to take care of it.

223
00:27:44,167 --> 00:27:46,838
She had a problem
and couldn't come back,

224
00:27:46,967 --> 00:27:49,070
sol kept it.

225
00:27:49,234 --> 00:27:53,975
And since she left,
it's... it's more depressed,

226
00:27:54,135 --> 00:27:57,601
it doesn't bark, it's insecure

227
00:27:58,834 --> 00:28:01,540
and doesn't want to leave the house.
So I thought it'd be good

228
00:28:01,668 --> 00:28:05,408
for it to meet other dogs and people.

229
00:28:07,602 --> 00:28:10,409
I think she's adapting.
What do you think?

230
00:28:11,102 --> 00:28:13,705
I thought you were gay.

231
00:28:31,304 --> 00:28:33,542
I can't concentrate.

232
00:28:35,636 --> 00:28:37,080
Maybe another time

233
00:28:46,737 --> 00:28:48,215
Alright.

234
00:28:48,337 --> 00:28:51,804
- Alright, bye.
- And what do we do? Should I call you?

235
00:28:51,938 --> 00:28:55,711
- I'll be back tomorrow.
- Alright. Everything okay?

236
00:28:55,837 --> 00:28:58,782
More or less. Bye.

237
00:29:14,472 --> 00:29:17,643
Want to eat dinner?
Or should I wait until spring?

238
00:29:17,773 --> 00:29:20,410
- Now?
- Do you have time?

239
00:29:21,439 --> 00:29:25,747
I wanted to start swimming.
I'm tense.

240
00:29:25,873 --> 00:29:31,113
- It's not time to start swimming.
- No, it's never time to swim.

241
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,842
Then let's eat.

242
00:29:33,540 --> 00:29:35,518
Here it is.

243
00:29:35,674 --> 00:29:37,583
Have you been here?

244
00:29:37,707 --> 00:29:41,151
I've seen the building
but didn't know it has a restaurant.

245
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,716
I thought they were offices.

246
00:29:50,740 --> 00:29:54,048
I thought it might be interesting
for an architect.

247
00:30:09,442 --> 00:30:11,477
Shall we go up?

248
00:30:12,709 --> 00:30:14,516
I'll take the stairs.

249
00:30:15,108 --> 00:30:17,848
It's on the 20th floor.

250
00:30:19,342 --> 00:30:21,014
Well...

251
00:30:22,809 --> 00:30:25,651
You'll probably think I'm crazy,
but...

252
00:30:25,876 --> 00:30:30,719
I have a phobia of them.
I don't use lifts.

253
00:30:31,043 --> 00:30:34,317
Especially when
they're hermetically sealed.

254
00:30:34,443 --> 00:30:36,819
I get claustrophobia.

255
00:30:38,277 --> 00:30:39,879
Do you live on the ground floor?

256
00:30:40,510 --> 00:30:42,852
- On the eighth.
- Seriously?

257
00:30:43,211 --> 00:30:46,280
I think twice before leaving
the flat.

258
00:30:46,544 --> 00:30:49,647
I go up at least three times a day.

259
00:30:51,311 --> 00:30:52,983
Want to try it with me?

260
00:30:54,145 --> 00:30:55,781
What?

261
00:30:55,911 --> 00:30:58,752
No, I mean take the lift.

262
00:31:01,378 --> 00:31:04,584
I know a good
ground floor restaurant

263
00:31:08,012 --> 00:31:12,513
I'm curious to see the city
from so high up.

264
00:31:13,313 --> 00:31:15,052
I'll Walk.

265
00:31:19,513 --> 00:31:22,684
- I'll join you.
- That's not necessary. Really

266
00:31:22,846 --> 00:31:26,051
You wouldn't make it anyway.

267
00:31:26,213 --> 00:31:28,782
- Of course I will.
- But...

268
00:31:28,913 --> 00:31:31,823
Now that you've finally said "yes'"

269
00:31:33,314 --> 00:31:35,553
When did you last use a lift?

270
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,518
- Two or three years ago.
- Did something bad happen?

271
00:31:40,714 --> 00:31:44,590
Don't speak.
You'll be out of breath.

272
00:31:44,881 --> 00:31:47,449
Administer it.

273
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,419
- Have you tried closing your eyes?
- If that would only work.

274
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:58,158
The last time I climbed so many steps
was at Teotihuacan's Pyramid

275
00:31:58,881 --> 00:32:02,792
of the Sun. 40 degrees

276
00:32:02,949 --> 00:32:06,290
and not one miserable cloud
in the middle of the desert.

277
00:32:06,448 --> 00:32:09,188
And 260 awkward steps.

278
00:32:09,515 --> 00:32:12,959
They say the top of the pyramid
is a point

279
00:32:13,115 --> 00:32:17,560
of cosmic energy
that fulfils your wishes.

280
00:32:18,583 --> 00:32:21,061
My wish was not to fall
on my way back down.

281
00:32:21,182 --> 00:32:26,786
Some people go back down on
their arses so they don't fall.

282
00:32:27,050 --> 00:32:30,426
That's typical of religions:
They promise the improbable

283
00:32:30,550 --> 00:32:33,721
so you don't regret
the sacrifices they demand.

284
00:32:34,317 --> 00:32:37,557
I hope I won't regret
climbing these stairs.

285
00:32:40,317 --> 00:32:42,693
Everything alright?

286
00:32:56,585 --> 00:32:59,029
Don't you want to take the lift?

287
00:33:00,152 --> 00:33:04,994
- Yes. That'd be better.
- See you at the top.

288
00:33:05,152 --> 00:33:07,720
Smoking is killing me.

289
00:33:08,719 --> 00:33:11,992
- Should I order a water for you?
- Go ahead.

290
00:33:12,118 --> 00:33:15,585
- Sparkling or still?
- Still!

291
00:36:00,394 --> 00:36:04,861
<i>My relationship with Pablo
corresponded with the digital age.</i>

292
00:36:04,995 --> 00:36:06,234
<i>At the beginning,</i>

293
00:36:06,362 --> 00:36:09,568
I bought a camera
that documented those four years.

294
00:36:09,928 --> 00:36:12,406
<i>380 photographs the first year.</i>

295
00:36:12,562 --> 00:36:16,734
<i>176 in the second.
97 in the third.</i>

296
00:36:16,862 --> 00:36:19,567
<i>And four in the last year.</i>

297
00:36:26,530 --> 00:36:29,269
<i>In a simple, irreversible act,</i>

298
00:36:29,396 --> 00:36:33,363
<i>I'm doing away
with 38.9 megabytes of history.</i>

299
00:36:35,197 --> 00:36:38,606
<i>If only my head worked as well
as my Mac</i>

300
00:36:38,730 --> 00:36:41,708
<i>and I could forget everything
with a click.</i>

301
00:36:45,764 --> 00:36:50,936
<i>Is there anything more discouraging
in the 21st century as an empty in-box?</i>

302
00:36:51,764 --> 00:36:54,537
<i>Luckily, a friend wrote to me
from Oman.</i>

303
00:36:54,664 --> 00:36:57,801
<i>He happens to be visiting Yemen</i>

304
00:36:57,931 --> 00:37:02,171
<i>and needs my help withdrawing
9.5 million dollars</i>

305
00:37:02,298 --> 00:37:06,037
<i>from a local bank.
He hasn't written for a while.</i>

306
00:37:06,165 --> 00:37:09,110
<i>It's an imprudent,
one-sided friendship.</i>

307
00:37:15,699 --> 00:37:18,700
Please give us some space.

308
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,235
<i>Before I had my lift phobia,</i>

309
00:37:40,367 --> 00:37:43,140
<i>I gave tours
in the Kavanagh building.</i>

310
00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:47,079
<i>I had no problem taking
the 15 lifts</i>

311
00:37:47,201 --> 00:37:51,077
<i>through 31 floors of
the city's most beautiful skyscraper:</i>

312
00:37:51,201 --> 00:37:55,770
<i>The world's largest concrete
construction at the end of the 1930s.</i>

313
00:37:56,435 --> 00:38:00,243
<i>A building as striking
as the history that it conceals.</i>

314
00:38:01,435 --> 00:38:03,936
<i>Corina Kavanagh
was a beautiful woman</i>

315
00:38:04,069 --> 00:38:07,138
<i>from a wealthy,
but plebeian family</i>

316
00:38:07,269 --> 00:38:10,906
<i>who fell in love
with a young man of nobility.</i>

317
00:38:11,035 --> 00:38:15,275
<i>The Anchorenas opposed
the relationship and broke it up.</i>

318
00:38:15,402 --> 00:38:17,277
<i>Their most important possession</i>

319
00:38:17,402 --> 00:38:19,971
<i>was the Basilica
Santisimo Sacramento,</i>

320
00:38:20,269 --> 00:38:24,680
<i>a temple they built
which later became the family tomb.</i>

321
00:38:26,203 --> 00:38:29,703
<i>The Anchorenas' palace
was on the other side of the park</i>

322
00:38:29,836 --> 00:38:33,303
<i>and they wanted a new one
next to the basilica.</i>

323
00:38:33,503 --> 00:38:35,640
<i>Corina Kavanagh sold three farms</i>

324
00:38:35,770 --> 00:38:39,737
<i>and had a skyscraper built
for one reason:</i>

325
00:38:39,870 --> 00:38:41,905
<i>To hide the basilica's facade</i>

326
00:38:42,037 --> 00:38:45,674
<i>and prevent the Anchorenas
from seeing it.</i>

327
00:38:45,804 --> 00:38:49,339
<i>It's only visible
from "Corina Kavanagh" alley.</i>

328
00:38:52,037 --> 00:38:55,208
<i>When I have a daughter,
I'll name her Corina.</i>

329
00:39:47,407 --> 00:39:51,476
HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

330
00:40:52,577 --> 00:40:54,112
Great, thanks. Here!

331
00:40:57,144 --> 00:40:59,554
WHERE ARE YOU?

332
00:41:15,713 --> 00:41:18,919
I'M AT THE CINEMA

333
00:41:31,180 --> 00:41:34,715
- Can I put some music on?
- Of course.

334
00:41:41,147 --> 00:41:44,148
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME.
WHAT MOVIE?

335
00:41:49,014 --> 00:41:52,288
You have thousands.
How am I supposed to choose?

336
00:41:57,748 --> 00:42:02,159
- I don't like them.
- Let me choose one.

337
00:42:22,616 --> 00:42:25,720
I WANT TO SEE YOU.
WILL MEET YOU AT THE EXIT.

338
00:42:31,350 --> 00:42:34,328
IT'S TERRIBLY LONG.
I'M TURNING MY MOBILE OFF.

339
00:42:34,450 --> 00:42:36,258
SENDING TO MARIELA

340
00:42:45,950 --> 00:42:49,485
- You hardly ate anything.
- I don't eat much in the evening.

341
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,720
Did I tell you I'm writing a play?

342
00:43:07,885 --> 00:43:10,294
You've hardly said anything all night.

343
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,925
Really? I'm in a weird mood,
I don't know why.

344
00:43:19,219 --> 00:43:20,992
I didn't know you write

345
00:43:21,620 --> 00:43:23,859
Me neither.

346
00:43:24,419 --> 00:43:26,397
Until now.

347
00:43:27,053 --> 00:43:29,053
I've studied theatre for a while.

348
00:43:33,487 --> 00:43:35,590
Should I tell you about it?

349
00:43:37,053 --> 00:43:39,463
It's called "Cruel Woman".

350
00:43:39,854 --> 00:43:42,297
There's a swing on stage,

351
00:43:42,420 --> 00:43:44,796
the protagonist
and seven Dalmatians.

352
00:43:46,021 --> 00:43:50,556
So the audience listens to
a monologue with headphones,

353
00:43:50,687 --> 00:43:54,325
and what they hear are
her thoughts.

354
00:43:54,688 --> 00:43:56,529
She's planning

355
00:43:56,688 --> 00:44:00,427
to kill the dogs' owners
so she can keep them for herself.

356
00:44:02,722 --> 00:44:05,166
You like it?

357
00:44:07,922 --> 00:44:11,832
It sounds good.
I'd have to read it.

358
00:44:13,289 --> 00:44:15,858
I act in it.

359
00:44:16,489 --> 00:44:18,831
You're the one who
walks the drugs?

360
00:44:18,956 --> 00:44:22,263
- "Walks the drugs"?
- Did I say "drugs"?

361
00:44:24,589 --> 00:44:26,261
Good one!

362
00:45:50,127 --> 00:45:51,605
11 MESSAGES

363
00:45:59,228 --> 00:46:01,967
I'M GOING HOME.

364
00:46:14,062 --> 00:46:17,904
Don't get any false hopes.
It was just sex.

365
00:46:43,998 --> 00:46:47,771
<i>They sprout out of the cement,
growing where they shouldn't.</i>

366
00:46:48,764 --> 00:46:53,038
<i>Rising up patiently
with exemplary will and dignity.</i>

367
00:46:53,897 --> 00:46:58,603
<i>Without lineage,
wild, unclassifiable by botanists.</i>

368
00:46:58,798 --> 00:47:01,674
<i>A strange, rampant,
absurd beauty.</i>

369
00:47:03,365 --> 00:47:05,639
<i>They adorn the greyest of corners,</i>

370
00:47:06,065 --> 00:47:08,975
<i>don't own anything
and nothing can stop them.</i>

371
00:47:09,432 --> 00:47:11,670
<i>A metaphor for uncontrollable life</i>

372
00:47:11,798 --> 00:47:15,402
<i>that paradoxically forces me
to face my weakness.</i>

373
00:50:08,775 --> 00:50:13,686
<i>I'm Marcella, a psychologist,
and my job is my passion.</i>

374
00:50:14,376 --> 00:50:17,650
<i>Calm down, I won't analyze you.</i>

375
00:50:17,776 --> 00:50:21,447
<i>As a rule,
I don't analyze friends.</i>

376
00:50:21,576 --> 00:50:25,111
<i>To be honest, I'm very selective
regarding friendships.</i>

377
00:50:25,243 --> 00:50:29,244
<i>I write a lot
and love self-help books.</i>

378

<i>and a bit of Russian.</i>

384

<i>Hobbies: alternative music,

<i>feng shui, astrology, New Age.</i>

394
00:51:39,381 --> 00:51:44,416
No, I'll listen, but I don't speak it.
I understand everything, but...

395
00:51:45,180 --> 00:51:46,214
I don't speak it.

396
00:51:52,881 --> 00:51:56,689
No, seriously, I speak it poorly.
I don't like hearing myself.

397
00:51:56,981 --> 00:51:58,686
I have no control.

398
00:51:58,814 --> 00:52:00,690
I say what I can instead of what
I want to.

399
00:52:10,049 --> 00:52:11,754
Well, you speak it.

400
00:52:15,615 --> 00:52:17,889
Your French sounds French.

401
00:52:24,549 --> 00:52:28,050
<i>These dates are like
McDonalds combos.</i>

402
00:52:30,050 --> 00:52:33,823
<i>They look larger and more delicious
in the photographs.</i>

403
00:52:35,417 --> 00:52:37,088
<i>Every time I go on a date,</i>

404
00:52:37,217 --> 00:52:40,923
<i>I suffer from the same deception
as with a Big Mac.</i>

405
00:52:58,485 --> 00:53:00,394
No, nothing at all.

406
00:53:21,486 --> 00:53:23,589
No more, thank you.

407
00:53:25,420 --> 00:53:27,795
What were you doing alone in Paris?

408
00:53:28,287 --> 00:53:31,754
Oh no, that's a long story.

409
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,964
But I can tell you how it ends.

410
00:53:35,086 --> 00:53:37,121
We separated at De Gaulle.

411
00:53:37,287 --> 00:53:41,459
Yes, a 13-hour flight
is too much for a couple in crisis

412
00:53:41,587 --> 00:53:44,361
Luckily, we both had
our own luggage.

413
00:53:44,488 --> 00:53:48,591
We divided up our goods
in the airport.

414
00:53:48,921 --> 00:53:52,229
He kept the shampoo,
I kept the conditioner...

415
00:53:52,421 --> 00:53:55,865
We split up the few things
we had in common.

416
00:53:56,454 --> 00:53:59,921
He went to Berlin,
I stayed in Paris.

417
00:54:00,389 --> 00:54:04,527
I cried for 24 hours
and that was it.

418
00:54:12,689 --> 00:54:14,223
Everything alright?

419
00:54:14,355 --> 00:54:16,663
Should I buy you a water?

420
00:54:19,089 --> 00:54:21,260
Nervous ness.

421
00:54:22,789 --> 00:54:24,824
I'm nervous.

422
00:54:25,790 --> 00:54:27,825
I need movement.

423
00:54:28,957 --> 00:54:30,127
Want to dance?

424
00:54:30,356 --> 00:54:33,891
I have a great need to communicate.

425
00:54:34,490 --> 00:54:39,094
For example,
if we'd met here by chance

426
00:54:39,224 --> 00:54:42,566
and you only spoke Italian...

427
00:54:42,691 --> 00:54:47,362
But let's say
I didn't understand it.

428
00:54:47,791 --> 00:54:52,202
I would have lost the opportunity
to meet a very beautiful person.

429
00:55:26,226 --> 00:55:27,602
What did you say?

430
00:55:29,027 --> 00:55:30,766
Look it up.

431
00:55:39,427 --> 00:55:41,302
Bloody bastard!

432
00:55:42,827 --> 00:55:45,135
How can you be so stupid?

433
00:55:45,694 --> 00:55:48,934
Bye, Sus�. Come here,
I'm late. Bye.

434
00:55:59,862 --> 00:56:02,430
<i>This is the 15th time
I've signed up for swimming</i>

435
00:56:02,562 --> 00:56:05,506
<i>and the 15th time I won't go.</i>

436
00:56:05,762 --> 00:56:10,104
<i>I love swimming, but I hate
everything before and after it.</i>

437
00:56:10,262 --> 00:56:12,865
<i>I hate showering before
and after.</i>

438
00:56:12,995 --> 00:56:15,837
<i>I hate getting undressed
and dressed,</i>

439
00:56:15,962 --> 00:56:17,599
<i>drying my hair in the winter,</i>

440
00:56:17,729 --> 00:56:20,139
<i>a wet towel in my bag,</i>

441
00:56:20,262 --> 00:56:23,298
<i>a wet swimsuit, wet flip-flops...</i>

442
00:56:23,663 --> 00:56:25,732
<i>I hate the smell of chlorine.</i>

443
00:56:25,863 --> 00:56:29,103
<i>I hate the membership card
and the medical examination:</i>

444
00:56:29,230 --> 00:56:34,368
<i>Having to show someone
what's between my toes.</i>

445
00:56:34,564 --> 00:56:37,405
<i>I hate that people
piss in the water.</i>

446
00:56:37,997 --> 00:56:41,907
<i>I hate caps and the amazed
expression goggles give you.</i>

447
00:56:42,264 --> 00:56:47,709
<i>And what I hate most is the fact that
it's the most complete sport there is.</i>

448
00:57:07,998 --> 00:57:09,908
Tired?

449
00:57:13,399 --> 00:57:15,468
Are you tired?

450
00:57:18,366 --> 00:57:20,775
You have to kick less.

451
00:57:21,099 --> 00:57:24,441
Legs consume more oxygen
than arms.

452
00:57:24,567 --> 00:57:27,875
Kicking is more for stabilization
than for propulsion.

453
00:57:27,999 --> 00:57:30,773
Stretch out and relax your legs.

454
00:57:31,034 --> 00:57:33,477
When your hand goes
into the water,

455
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,477
stretch it out, feel the impulse
and the other arm follows.

456
00:57:37,934 --> 00:57:39,741
Your hands under your body.

457
00:57:39,867 --> 00:57:43,812
And lower your head. The water
should be up to your forehead.

458
00:57:44,334 --> 00:57:47,039
You're doing 32 strokes.
Try what I'm saying.

459
00:57:47,167 --> 00:57:49,805
You'll do fewer strokes
and tire less.

460
00:57:49,935 --> 00:57:52,004
You'll swim in a more relaxed way.

461
00:57:52,135 --> 00:57:56,772
And try breathing every third stroke.
Go ahead, I'll count.

462
00:58:04,368 --> 00:58:06,676
- May I?
- Yes.

463
00:58:40,837 --> 00:58:43,508
- And?
- You were right, I'm not as tired.

464
00:58:43,637 --> 00:58:47,104
30 strokes. Two fewer per lap
and you can get even lower.

465
00:58:47,238 --> 00:58:50,977
- Are you a teacher?
- I'm a compulsive swimmer.

466
00:58:51,138 --> 00:58:54,275
I can't sleep if
I don't swim an hour a day.

467
00:58:54,405 --> 00:58:57,246
Really? Exhaustion from swimming
is unrivalled.

468
00:58:57,405 --> 00:58:59,974
Yes, nothing else tires me out.

469
00:59:01,905 --> 00:59:04,076
- What's your name?
- Rafa. And you?

470
00:59:04,206 --> 00:59:06,309
Mariana.

471
00:59:07,805 --> 00:59:10,306
What's it, asshole?

472
00:59:10,439 --> 00:59:12,747
- Let me past!
- Go ahead!

473
00:59:12,872 --> 00:59:15,874
- You're a clown!
- What the hell are you doing?

474
00:59:16,773 --> 00:59:17,978
Idiot!

475
00:59:18,139 --> 00:59:21,118
Always the same! Screw you!

476
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,184
Don't touch me! Don't touch me!

477
00:59:24,839 --> 00:59:29,682
I still have 30 laps!
I'm a member and I paid my fee!

478
00:59:29,940 --> 00:59:35,715
- This is supposed to relax you.
- Living healthily is stressful.

479
00:59:37,774 --> 00:59:41,150
Being conscious of everything
only to live a bit longer

480
00:59:41,274 --> 00:59:43,774
is the worst thing we can do.

481
00:59:44,774 --> 00:59:49,344
None of us come here for fun
We come to count laps.

482
00:59:50,374 --> 00:59:54,409
- Why can't you sleep?
- I thought you'd know already.

483
00:59:54,541 --> 00:59:58,076
There's no switch
to turn off my head.

484
00:59:58,209 --> 01:00:01,278
- Have you seen a psychologist?
- Yes, I am a psychologist.

485
01:00:03,475 --> 01:00:06,385
So swimming is the only thing
that works?

486
01:00:06,509 --> 01:00:09,749
If I could,
I'd swim to my bedside.

487
01:00:15,309 --> 01:00:17,981
'28! .very good!

488
01:00:23,310 --> 01:00:25,754
Tomorrow I can't swim

489
01:00:26,510 --> 01:00:30,386
I've got patients until 10 p.m.,
so I won't be able to sleep.

490
01:00:31,510 --> 01:00:34,351
We could go and eat
or drink something.

491
01:00:35,344 --> 01:00:39,345
- Shalli put you to sleep?
- On the contrary.

492
01:00:39,477 --> 01:00:42,614
What a relief. Then yes.

493
01:00:44,044 --> 01:00:48,113
Let's take off our caps and goggles
so we'll recognise each other.

494
01:00:48,244 --> 01:00:50,313
No, I'll come like this.

495
01:02:16,049 --> 01:02:18,493
It doesn't matter, I don't care.

496
01:02:23,217 --> 01:02:25,320
Everything's alright.

497
01:06:03,861 --> 01:06:06,100
<i>The brilliant morning light</i>

498
01:06:06,229 --> 01:06:09,139
<i>let me see the reflection clearly.</i>

499
01:06:10,896 --> 01:06:16,738
<i>Late, as always,
I realised it was me in the window.</i>

500
01:06:16,862 --> 01:06:18,669
<i>Like a mannequin.</i>

501
01:06:18,796 --> 01:06:22,899
<i>Motionless, silent and cold.</i>

502
01:06:34,763 --> 01:06:38,037
SPRING AT LAST

503
01:06:48,598 --> 01:06:53,043
<i>Absolutely all of the buildings
have a useless, purposeless side.</i>

504
01:06:53,631 --> 01:06:58,701
<i>It's neither the front nor the back:</i>

505
01:06:58,998 --> 01:07:00,442
<i>The �medianera� or "side wall�.</i>

506
01:07:00,565 --> 01:07:04,373
<i>Enormous surfaces that divide us,
reminding us of passing time,</i>

507
01:07:04,498 --> 01:07:06,498
<i>smog and filth.</i>

508
01:07:14,166 --> 01:07:17,076
<i>�Medianeras�
show our worst attributes.</i>

509
01:07:18,233 --> 01:07:21,473
They reflect inconstancy, cracks,

510
01:07:21,766 --> 01:07:24,141
<i>provisional solutions,</i>

511
01:07:24,266 --> 01:07:27,335
<i>and the dirt we sweep under
the carpet.</i>

512
01:07:27,533 --> 01:07:30,444
<i>We only remember
them in exceptional cases</i>

513
01:07:30,766 --> 01:07:33,176
<i>when, during bad weather,</i>

514
01:07:33,300 --> 01:07:34,902

515
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,610
<i>�Medianeras� have changed
into another medium for ads</i>

516
01:07:40,734 --> 01:07:43,871
<i>that are seldom beautiful.</i>

517
01:07:45,534 --> 01:07:48,569
<i>Generally,

518
01:07:48,701 --> 01:07:52,578
<i>from supermarkets and fast food.</i>

519
01:07:53,068 --> 01:07:57,342
<i>Lottery ads that promise a lot

523
01:08:11,802 --> 01:08:15,508
<i>There's one way out of the oppression

524
01:08:15,936 --> 01:08:18,436
<i>An escape route:</i>

525
01:08:19,136 --> 01:08:21,477
<i>Illegal, like all escape routes.</i>

526
01:08:22,469 --> 01:08:26,880
<i>In clear violation
of urban planning norms,</i>

527
01:08:27,003 --> 01:08:31,539
<i>there are a few tiny,
irregular, irresponsible windows</i>

528
01:08:31,670 --> 01:08:34,648
<i>that let a few miraculous
rays of light</i>

529
01:08:34,770 --> 01:08:37,441
<i>into our darkness.</i>

530
01:09:08,205 --> 01:09:10,240
May I?

531
01:13:35,987 --> 01:13:38,591
<i>When will we be a wireless city?</i>

532
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:44,628
<i>What geniuses blocked the river
with buildings and the sky with wires?</i>

533
01:13:46,454 --> 01:13:49,898
<i>Are all those kilometers
of wire there to unite us</i>

534
01:13:50,188 --> 01:13:54,291
<i>or to divide us?
Everyone in his own place.</i>

535
01:13:54,421 --> 01:13:59,229
<i>Cellular telephony invaded the world
promising to always keep us connected.</i>

<i>Text messaging:</i>

537
01:14:01,888 --> 01:14:04,729
<i>A new ten-key system</i>

01:14:04,855 --> 01:14:07,356
<i>that reduces one of the most
beautiful languages</i>

539
01:14:07,489 --> 01:14:11,331
<i>to a primitive,
limited and guttural vocabulary.</i>

540
01:14:11,888 --> 01:14:15,662
<i>The future is in fibre optics,

<i>They've announced that we'll be able
to heat our homes from our workplaces.</i>

542
01:14:21,290 --> 01:14:25,961
<i>Right! And no one will be waiting
for us when we get home.</i>

543
01:14:26,889 --> 01:14:29,731
<i>Welcome to the era
of virtual relationships.</i>

544
01:14:34,223 --> 01:14:36,326
Is this your first time chatting?

545
01:14:39,457 --> 01:14:41,492
Yes. Did you notice?

546
01:14:42,057 --> 01:14:45,796
Very much so.
You have to begin with M or W.

547
01:14:46,057 --> 01:14:47,592
What's that?

548
01:14:50,825 --> 01:14:52,598
Man or woman

549
01:14:52,825 --> 01:14:56,201
Woman. A broad term, isn't it?

550
01:14:56,992 --> 01:14:59,833
- And you?
- Man.

551
01:15:01,591 --> 01:15:05,468
- Do I have to believe you?
- It's easy to verify.

552
01:15:05,592 --> 01:15:09,058
I write like a man,
think like a man,

553
01:15:09,325 --> 01:15:11,496
and act like a man.

554
01:15:15,459 --> 01:15:17,199
And?

555
01:15:18,326 --> 01:15:20,361
What?

556
01:15:21,693 --> 01:15:24,898
Your turn. In the arse

557
01:15:28,293 --> 01:15:30,430
I don't know what to say.

558
01:15:30,660 --> 01:15:33,934
It's strange talking to someone
I don't know.

559
01:15:35,294 --> 01:15:37,465
What do you want to know?

560
01:15:39,727 --> 01:15:42,228
I don't even know where to begin

561
01:15:42,994 --> 01:15:45,268
I'm taking off. Bye.

562
01:15:45,861 --> 01:15:49,703
Don't leave! Wait!
Are you still there?

563
01:15:57,128 --> 01:15:59,572
I'll give you a list of questions:

564
01:15:59,695 --> 01:16:02,639
How old are you?
What sign are you?

565
01:16:02,795 --> 01:16:05,466
What music do you listen to?
Do you believe in God?

566
01:16:06,829 --> 01:16:08,704
What did you do today?

567
01:16:11,296 --> 01:16:13,501
That's cheating.

568
01:16:16,296 --> 01:16:18,103
It's a question.

569
01:16:19,896 --> 01:16:23,339
Okay. I woke up at twelve
because I went to bed at five.

570
01:16:23,463 --> 01:16:26,498
I should start swimming.
I ate breakfast at one.

571
01:16:26,696 --> 01:16:28,674
I took an ibuprofen.

572
01:16:28,930 --> 01:16:32,101
At two I started work.
I do web design.

573
01:16:32,430 --> 01:16:35,964
At five I ate lunch.
At eight I went to therapy.

574
01:16:36,297 --> 01:16:38,172
I took my second ibuprofen.

575
01:16:38,297 --> 01:16:40,434
Then the telephone rang,
which made me happy.

576
01:16:40,631 --> 01:16:43,700
Wrong number.
Now I'm eating dinner.

577
01:16:43,897 --> 01:16:46,875
After chatting, I'll whack myself on
the head so I can fall asleep

578
01:16:47,031 --> 01:16:49,066
and start swimming tomorrow.

579
01:16:54,665 --> 01:16:56,438
DID YOU TAKE OFF?

580
01:16:58,198 --> 01:16:59,437
YES!

581
01:17:03,099 --> 01:17:06,270
Good. What did you do today?

582
01:17:07,665 --> 01:17:11,735
Adaptation.
Getting used to being single again.

583
01:17:15,165 --> 01:17:18,110
I'm an expert.
I could write a book.

584
01:17:18,266 --> 01:17:20,801
I'm a kind of depressed
Paulo Coelho.

585
01:17:24,166 --> 01:17:25,734
I didn't have a good day.

586
01:17:26,100 --> 01:17:27,907
I'M SO SAD.

587
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:33,240
I have a method.
Absolutely involuntary.

588
01:17:33,567 --> 01:17:37,807
A kind of Buddhist gene that makes
my happy days not so happy

589
01:17:37,934 --> 01:17:40,003
and my sad days not so sad.

590
01:17:43,700 --> 01:17:46,372
A spiritual thermostat.

591
01:17:54,301 --> 01:17:56,007
And if it fails?

592
01:17:57,735 --> 01:17:59,236
I down a Rivotril.

593
01:18:02,102 --> 01:18:03,807
I didn't think I'd laugh today.

594
01:18:06,502 --> 01:18:10,571
In return, do me a favour.
When do you wake up?

595
01:18:13,269 --> 01:18:15,145
Nine.

596
01:18:15,270 --> 01:18:19,146
I'll give you my number. Call me
at nine and motivate me to swim.

597
01:18:20,969 --> 01:18:23,038
Why not now?

598
01:18:23,503 --> 01:18:26,174
No, that won't do. It's a deal.

599
01:18:28,336 --> 01:18:30,314
Give me your number.

600
01:18:38,604 --> 01:18:42,810
Bloody bastard! Fucking hell!

601
01:18:52,738 --> 01:18:54,546
Bloody bastard!

602
01:19:00,672 --> 01:19:04,844
Why do I keep all this shit?

603
01:19:06,972 --> 01:19:08,972
Wait Sus�, I'll be right back.

604
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:30,745
- Do you have any candles?
- Yes, wait a minute...

605
01:19:30,906 --> 01:19:33,043
I'll be right with you.

606
01:19:38,607 --> 01:19:40,551
Four pesos.

607
01:19:46,341 --> 01:19:50,807
- Any candles left?
- I think so. Let me look...

608
01:20:01,242 --> 01:20:04,776
- I got a shock.
- Yeah, me too.

609
01:20:05,175 --> 01:20:09,517
- Probably the flashlight.
- I don't know, but it was heavy.

610
01:20:19,010 --> 01:20:23,011
Here they are, the last ones.
Your lucky day!

611
01:20:23,143 --> 01:20:25,553
Right, good to know.

612
01:20:25,676 --> 01:20:27,416
- How much?
