Original subtitles

Be careful, Jose.

You have to take something for that bad cold.

Are you taking anything?

Just pay attention to the road.

My father was sick last week.

He was laid up three days. He was really sick.

Even then, he didn't shut up.

All day with the same thing, I have to study,

he never had the chance, I shouldn't be stupid.

You and I have talked about that. I want to join the army,

see a bit of fucking life!

The army or whatever, but I need to be straightened out.

I've got a pal in the barracks.

They work ten days, and get four off.

I'm telling you, they give you food and a bed.

All you need then is a girl, right? Imagine if they gave you one!

Pay attention to what you're doing. Keep your eyes on the fucking road.

- No one ever comes here, Jose. - What has that got to do with it?

No one ever comes here, he says.

But not my father.

I have to study something, get qualifications.

But it's all the same to him.

Jose.

Is that true or not?

- Jose! - Stop!

- Stop here? - Yes, fucking stop!

- OK, I'm stopping. - Stop here.

Jose, are you okay?

What have I told you about the car, eh?

You don't leave the doors open!

Let's go!

Come on!

Get going! The hour's nearly up.

Okay.

CAN'T SAY GOODBYE

Here it says freedom.

- Freedom! - Freedom.

It's cool.

Wow! Freedom, eh?

- Freedom. - Is it kind of abstract?

No, no, it's the word.

- The word, "freedom". - OK, but not for anyone?

I mean, it's not like:

"My brother's in prison for robbing a bank"

"and I'm, you know, demanding..."

No, no, no way.

Nothing like that. It's the word.

No, it's the concept, the concept of freedom.

- I thought it was your name. - No.

- No? Freedom man! - No, my name's Marc.

- But everyone calls me Coco. - Coco.

- Coco. - Coco.

- Like the TV monster. - Yeah. I can see it.

I love people like this, creative.

And fast, like Coco.

When he saw... Did you see the dealer? No?

- He saw him. - I did.

- Let's do a line. - Yeah, come on.

You go first, I'll order a Beefeater and then...

- OK? - Sure.

I'm getting really good vibrations.

- What's your name? - Gloria.

Really good vibrations. I'll take one.

- You can't smoke here. - Of course you can.

I'll tell you what.

I'm watching you.

What?

You want to fuck him, don't you?

- Coco? - Yes.

- No. - Yes! Supercoco!

It's all right. It's good to fuck!

It's great! Well, at times.

At other times... But in general, right?

I've fucked a lot.

Me too.

At times it's tiring. Today, for example,

I wasn't intending to go out.

And look!

That's how it goes.

But, anyway,

you and I aren't going to talk about the past.

- We have to look to the future. - To the future!

We'll have a drink.

Hey, kiddo!

- A drink here. What will you have? - No, I'm OK.

Come on, have a drink! A JB and cola here.

- With orange. - Right.

You can have whatever you want.

And give me a Beefeater, not just any shit.

- Gin and tonic. - Yes, gin and tonic.

Hey, you can't smoke in here. You should know by now.

I'll put it out now.

So, Gloria...

- What? - What do we do?

About what?

There are three of us here.

We've got this guy, and he's a moron.

And I don't know if it's a maternal thing or...

I can't tell you exactly.

The thing is, I want to fuck him too.

- I don't care. - I'm not saying it for me.

I could go home and you could all fuck off.

But freedom, like... like a concept, you know?

Freedom is priceless, Gloria.

There's none left.

It's finished. There wasn't much, and it's gone.

- Well. .. - And you?

What?

- Weren't you leaving? - I've just ordered a drink.

What the hell are you doing?

- You don't have a drink anymore. - You didn't have to do that.

She's fucking crazy!

- Excuse me, I paid for it. - What do you mean, asshole?

- I'll pay for it now! - For God's sake, really!

She was leaving anyway. Aren't you leaving?

First she is, then she isn't.

- How much is a JB? - I'm leaving.

- Ten? Twelve? -She's completely crazy.

- Look, I'm paying for it. - Gloria, Gloria.

Christ!

And she got angry.

I don't know you well, but I think...

In the enneagram, you must be a 9.

You pull back, you try to go unnoticed.

I'm a 3. The 3 shines.

I have to be seen. I rebel.

When I'm faced with problems, I rebel.

- You rebel? - Well, you...

You don't believe it, people don't believe it.

This comes from very long ago, from the...

From the Egyptians, or from transpersonal psychology.

Shall we go?

- Where are we going? - To my place.

What time is it?

3:00.

Shall we go to Portugal?

I'm going to Portugal. It's earlier there.

It's 2:00 there, see?

The whole night ahead of us. Well?

- Shall we go to Portugal? - Yeah, sure.

Freedom man!

- Fuck. - Good morning.

And that dog?

- What dog? - In the photo.

Oh, Sandokan.

Where is he?

Where is he?

Isn't he here?

No, he died.

He died about a year ago.

That's a bitch.

Well, he was very old.

If you want breakfast there are cookies.

It would suit a storage firm, a removals firm,

or something with machinery.

Because the warehouse is new, it's new.

Talk to the Chinese. They have The Dressmaking Empire next door.

- That's what it's called. - Yes. They're everywhere.

The sons of bitches have two dozen warehouses.

They might be interested in it for transport.

Yes, but everything's very slow right now, isn't it, Carla?

I think it's a question of lowering the price a little.

Like hell!

Don't you get a commission for this? Do a bit of work.

Who's moving this, you or you?

- Well. .. - Either one, why?

It's better if you show it.

A woman sells more than a man, we all know that.

This is inflated.

It doesn't matter who shows it. People aren't stupid, they realize.

They make offers. The longer we wait, the less we'll get.

It's your money, but it's our money and also our time.

It's up to you.

Fuck.

What a man.

I'll have a coffee too.

- Was this yours? - Yes.

- You want sugar or...? - No, this is fine.

- I can't take it without sugar. - One thing.

It's better to be more formal with the clients, OK?

Of course.

-It's a matter of image. - Yes.

Hey,

- can I ask you something? - Go on.

Are you OK?

Of course. Why?

You look like you don't feel well.

If you feel sick, maybe you should go home.

Carla, your sister's calling.

She couldn't get you on your cell.

Why are you calling me at work?

No, I'm working, I can't...

Yes, I'm listening. I'm listening to you!

Carla!

Thank heavens you're here. What a fright.

You look terrible.

- Are you OK? - Of course.

- Really? - Yes!

- Let me help you... - No, it's all right, Blanca.

Why didn't you answer your phone?

I was in the country, there was no signal.

Of course.

He had pains, like always.

But as he's so thick-headed, he didn't say anything.

The other day, after giving a class, he didn't feel well.

I went to the driving school for a minute to look at some things.

He was painting,

he'd decided to paint the fa�ade, and he just collapsed.

A good thing Irene saw him.

He's in a hospital, they did tests, but they say they know nothing.

- The doctor said he didn't know? - A nurse.

Didn't you talk to the doctor?

They're never there. I talked to that nurse.

So you didn't talk to him.

- No, I didn't. - Well, I will.

Is that a different colour?

No.

I've never seen it before. As you never come.

- What? - Nothing.

What?

You look really pretty, bitch.

Excuse me, I'm looking for Jose Luis Miralles.

- He isn't in his room. - I'm not on this floor, I'm sorry.

Dad?

- What are you doing here? - What do you think?

This fucking machine

swallowed

the candy bar.

- Let me do it. - Get out of the way.

Your sister?

She's parking.

How are you?

We were calling you.

I told Blanca I was in the country and there was no signal.

Dad, can you eat that?

Are you thinner, or is it my imagination?

I don't know.

Are you leaving it there?

- No. - Well, then?

I'm fucking sick. Can't you see?

I'm doing a lot of theatre now.

It's a lot of text, and some body language too.

What brought that on?

I'd always thought about it, Carla. And now that Irene is older...

And I'm... Well, I don't know. It's still an idea.

But...

I'm thinking of trying to do it at a proper school.

Great.

I think that's great.

- You don't agree? - Yes, I do.

Look, I know I'm not 20 years old, but I don't want to shut myself off.

Of course not. Don't shut yourself off.

What about Irene?

She's great, very grown up. You'll see her now.

She spends all her time studying.

- That's good, isn't it? - Yes.

But I don't know. I think it's odd that she studies so much.

But it's obvious she likes it. She likes studying.

That's good.

Yes, that's what I mean. It's good.

Of course.

Well, I have to go.

- Already? - I have to fix dinner.

How will we do it? You'll stay, won't you?

- Yes, of course. - All right.

I'll come first thing tomorrow.

All his things are in the closet, OK?

OK.

OK.

Thank goodness you've come.

I don't know why you have to sleep here. I'm fine.

I don't mind, dad.

I'm thinking of you.

- You'll have to sleep in that chair. - I'll be fine.

Shall I turn up the TV?

No, it doesn't matter, they only talk nonsense.

And the job?

The job's great, I'm working a lot.

That's good. You have to work.

Would you like some chamomile tea?

Dad!

- What? - Would you like...?

I don't want tea.

Shall I turn it off?

Yes, turn it off.

- But that's... - What?

You won't be able to sleep there. It's like you were standing up.

Don't worry.

- Go to sleep. - No, no.

It's not for me. I'm lying here in bed

and with what they've given me

in one minute I'll be out cold.

- You're his daughters? - Yes.

Well,

let's see.

Unfortunately, it's bad news. Jose Luis has a tumour in his lung,

and it has spread.

We found metastasis in the back of his head,

which is probably what caused him to pass out.

Look, they are the spots you can see here

that are pressing on these areas.

And what does that mean?

It means the process is already very advanced.

The process? What process?

His illness, the cancer.

- You can do something, can't you? Maybe, later on,

we could consider some chemotherapy,

but that would depend on how he was,

if he could take such aggressive treatment.

Maybe it could help him live another month, or two,

at most, but with worse quality of life.

Look, I'll give you

these information leaflets.

You can look at it calmly, think about it.

- What is this? Excuse me?

- What is this stuff? - It's information

about palliative care.

We have people here who can help accompany Jose Luis as he deserves.

Accompany? What do you mean? What does he mean?

- What are you saying? - Carla.

What's this, a leaflet?

A setting sun?

I'm just giving you the information. It's your decision.

"Preparing for the inevitable." What is this shit?

What kind of doctor are you?

No, I'm taking my father to a real hospital,

where they'll propose something and give me solutions.

Are you coming?

Thank you.

Dad, why did you put on that shin?

I brought the blue one so you could change.

What does it matter?

Nacho is seeing if we can change the car.

This isn't the best moment, but it has to be done.

And, before we know it, Irene will need it to get around,

because you can't be here without a car.

Yes or no?

Shit, say something.

What do you want me to say? Do whatever you think.

Why are you stopping here?

What's wrong?

Don't get like that.

Come on.

I'm all right, dad, really.

Look, dad.

- What's wrong? - You're going to get chemotherapy.

Drive on. It's dangerous to stop here.

We're going now.

- Fuck! - Blanca, that's enough.

- I'll drive. - Like hell you will!

- That's all we need! - Not you.

You're terrible, we'd have an accident!

I'd like to stay a few days until it's all organized.

I think it'll be about a week.

Hello? Ricard?

It's... Can you hear me? There's hardly any signal here.

No, I was saying it should be about a week,

but I've got the laptop so if there's anything...

OK. Hello? Fuck!

Now. Now?

All right.

Great, thank you.

We'll talk.

She's a woman

who has suffered a lot.

It wasn't physical abuse.

But a lot of pressure, mostly psychological.

And then

what begins is a kind of freedom.

But that's where the ghosts appear, and prevent it.

Ghosts that could be anything, it's never clear in the play.

Marcelo wanted to leave it open.

And I imagine

that the ghost

could be me, or you.

Or me!

I could be a ghost too.

Where does this go?

Under the worktop.

Mom, how long is Carla staying?

As long as she wants.

It's just to know how long I'll be out of my room.

For as long as I say so! Go and do your homework.

- I haven't got a room. - In the sitting room!

She's right, I could have gone to an hotel.

Why would you do that?

This is your home too.

Listen.

Should I phone my sister's brother-in-law?

He knows a guy who's famous.

A guy?

Yes, a man who gives you something and he cures you. So they say.

Nacho, don't talk rubbish, please.

- A healer? - No, hang on.

I'm not saying I believe.

But my great-uncle went to one, and whatever he did,

he cured him.

They told him he had 3 or 4 months. 3 or 4!

You know him. He must be 87 by now.

Be careful, that's...

I'm saying we could try it.

That chemotherapy is terrible.

It takes the colour out of your eyes. I've seen it myself.

I'm just saying what the doctor said.

It's better to give him palliatives, so he won't suffer, and...

So we do nothing?

Tell me.

Do we take him to a healer?

Not to a healer, Carla.

I'm telling you what the doctor said.

Give me the keys.

Are you leaving?

- Where are you going? - Out.

Behind the door.

Did you take the royal jelly?

No, I didn't.

You should take it. It's very good for everything.

Yeah.

What are you doing that you're not asleep at this time?

I couldn't sleep.

Dad.

Do you know what you have?

Yes.

And do you want...

I don't know.

Do you want us to talk?

No, not now. I'm watching this.

What is it?

Spaniards Around the World.

They're in Malawi.

A guy from Logrono, and his wife, who's black.

That's her there.

She's a head taller than him.

And there they are, happy as could be, dancing

and laughing.

Fuck it.

Life is strange.

Yes.

Look.

Look at how the black woman dances.

Yes.

What are you doing in here at this time?

Fixing breakfast.

I've brought doughnuts.

Go to bed, go on.

- No! - Go to bed!

People should have breakfast.

It's the most important meal of the clay.

I'll fix something and you have breakfast too.

A family breakfast and we make the most of the day.

Shall I make you some juice?

- You're going to make juice now? - Yes, fresh juice.

And then I'll go to bed. Come on.

- Look, the coffee pot! - Stop!

- Stop making noise. - Where's the juicer?

I don't know, it's broken.

- I'll buy a new one. - You're not buying anything here.

You don't have to buy anything.

I met Marga.

Do you remember Marga?

She's having a baby.

- The best thing she could do. - That's what I told her.

"The best thing you could do."

"You're an example for women, Marga."

She married a policeman, I think.

She was asking for you.

You know what happens, dad?

When I come here, my head hurts. It doesn't happen in Barcelona.

I think it's the wind.

It must be, because otherwise...

Listen and you will know what I think.

If I am so distressed,

so fearful, it's because there is

like a world of ghosts around me

and I am sure I will never be rid of them.

What did you say?

I said a throng of ghosts!

Of course!

When I heard Regina and Oswaldo next door,

- it was as if... - Osvaldo.

- What? - Isn't it Osvaldo?

Yes, it's Osvaldo.

Continue, Blanca. Continue.

When I heard...

It was as if...

Oswaldo. Osvaldo! It was

as if the past...

Had risen up.

...had risen up again before me.

And I am inclined to believe, pastor, that we,

and I mean all of us, are ghosts.

It isn't just the blood of our parents that runs in our veins.

It is also a destroyed idea,

a dead belief, with all its consequences. it isn't alive.

And yet it is fixed in the depth of our soul

and we will never, never, never be free...

Of it.

Be free of it, the idea.

Understand?

Jose Luis, please, don't move.

I was remembering that once...

How was it?

Mom was still alive,

but she wasn't there.

We were coming up from the beach with Aunt Trini.

- Do you remember her, Irene? - She hadn't even been born then.

Aunt Trini? No idea.

- She must have been born. She died... - When did Aunt Trini die, dad?

I don't know.

Dad, don't fiddle with your food like that, please.

Eat it, it's chop suey.

- What? - Chop suey.

Chicken with rice.

- Chop suey. - Yes.

Your father doesn't like it.

Neither do I.

- Irene, please! - Eat the rice.

Dad, just taste it.

I have...

- I like it. What's wrong? - Blanca, it's fine.

Anyway,

we were coming up from the beach with dad and Aunt Trini.

And that day,

it was almost dark,

we were coming up the hill, laden with airbeds,

buckets, the beach umbrella,

and suddenly we see...

Remember, dad?

In the sky, on the horizon, several lights.

Like dots of light.

Green ones.

- Several dots of light. - Yes, the port lights.

- It's always the same. - No.

They were the port lights. You see them...

No, they weren't the port lights.

The thing is, a wind started to blow,

very hard and very cold.

And the lights stayed there, not moving, like in formation. How many?

I can't remember, six or seven.

Yes, six or seven.

And there was a buzzing sound,

like a refrigerator, but out in the country.

Very strange. Something very strange.

Anyway, suddenly,

very, very quickly,

all the dots joined together in just one light, very bright,

- with a halo around it. - A UFO?

Irenita, how could it be a UFO?

Listen, don't tell the child ridiculous stories, please.

We stood there, not moving a muscle,

looking at it,

like we were spellbound, not saying a word.

And suddenly,

it started fading away and it disappeared.

We picked up everything and went home.

And Aunt Trini...

Aunt Trini always said...

What was it she said, dad?

I don't know, I don't remember.

For crissake, Aunt Trini again!

You keep going on about Aunt Trini!

It's no big deal, is it?

No, nothing is ever a big deal here.

Well,

they were just things.

Things you see in the sky.

The treatment isn't working. He's worse.

He looks awful. You haven't seen him.

We have to do what the first doctor said.

Leave him

in peace.

Maybe it has to do with how a person is.

I mean,

it forms bit by bit.

It doesn't happen overnight, that's obvious.

I don't understand.

The things you don't say and that stay inside you.

Do you think it might have to do with that?

Because, if not, why did he get it?

He got it the way anyone gets it. What the fuck are you talking about?

- Did you take out the garbage? - I'll take it out tomorrow.

No, you have to take it out right away.

If you don't, the neighbour's dog smells it,

and he spends the whole blessed night barking.

For God's sake.

What are you doing, dad? That's all sugar.

No, it's not all sugar.

It's got a lot of fruit too.

Look, dad, we have to talk to you.

I think that you have to take life as it comes.

And being at home, well...

I think being at home...

Being at home...

There's nothing like being at home.

What's she talking about?

And so,

we think

you shouldn't go back to the hospital.

Shit.

I'd be delighted.

You mean,

this thing is over?

Well,

more or less, more or less.

But which is it? It is or it isn't?

On the one hand, it is. We've improved a lot.

That's it. We've improved a lot.

But not that much.

I would be happy,

really,

if I could...

Irenita...

I don't know, see her grow up,

see her at university,

studying for a degree.

That's still a long way off, dad.

Dad.

- Dad. What?

Wake up, we're leaving.

What?

Where the hell do you want us to go at this time?

Hurry, dad, or we'll miss it.

Hey! No, eh?

- Dad, don't start we have to board. - No, you won't persuade me.

But you've ?own before.

- We'll go by car, it's better. - And who'll drive?

- I will, of course, like always. - Dad, you can't.

Do what you want, but I'm not getting on.

Fuck!

Why did you come this way?

You should have taken the turnoff.

- I took the turnoff. - Not that one, the one before.

We've come off the highway. That's what I was telling you.

Change gear, you're harming the transmission.

I don't care! It's a fucking rental.

What does that matter? You have to look after things.

It's my fault for listening to you.

- I should have driven. - I've got my fucking license.

Do you know what a license is?

What you've got is a piece of paper. That's what the license is.

- God knows where you got it! - As you can't drive, I'm driving.

What do you mean, I can't drive!

I'd love to know where the hell we are.

Well?

Honestly, this is...

- If she was my sister... - We don't know.

Maybe there's no signal.

I can't believe it.

Did she not even leave you a message?

Do you think that's normal?

This business with your father has been a mess from the start

Your sister arrives and does as she pleases.

Will you leave my sister alone? Please, I'm asking you.

I will but, Blanca, she's a fucking bad person.

She's a bad person!

- I'm sorry. I didn't... - Stop.

Blanca, I'm apologizing. - Leave me alone!

How are you?

Fine.

What are we doing here?

We've stopped so you can rest.

No, I mean, where are we going?

I told you this morning, dad.

We're going to Barcelona, to a proper hospital.

Yeah.

Can I get you anything?

No, it's all right.

What. What are you drinking?

Gin and tonic.

- I'll have one of those too. - No, you can't drink, dad.

Yes.

Are you sure?

Can I have another gin and tonic, please?

Miss, in a tall glass, with one ice cube, and strong.

- OK. - A little bit more.

That's it! Perfect.

Well?

Awful.

But it'll do. It'll do the job.

What do you mean?

For...

You know for what.

- For the pain, you mean? - Yes, for the pain.

So you don't give a damn.

Feeling better?

- Yes. - And the drink?

- What? - Does it help?

Of course!

- Give me another, if you please. - Fuck, dad.

If you please.

That's it, dad.

No, no, I get really cold.

All right.

Slowly.

I'll do it.

Dad,

which pill do you have to take?

Blanca takes care of that.

The night pill is the one with a green lid.

- This is it. - Yes!

Better?

I fucked Aunt Trini once.

We were

near the beach.

Your mother...

Your mother was still alive.

But she couldn't go,

or she didn't want to, I don't remember. It was summer,

there were flies, and...

It wasn't that I loved her or anything like that, but...

I don't remember much

but I know that I fucked her twice.

That was many years ago.

Maybe it doesn't matter now.

I'm telling you

just

in case.

In case what?

In case what?

In case I die.

Is the light bothering you?

Dad!

What?

Shall I close the curtain?

Dad.

What are you doing?

My father called.

- He's in a hospital in Barcelona. - In Barcelona?

- Fuck, but how is he? - He says he's fine.

- Are you going to Barcelona now? - Of course.

And your job?

Tell me something.

What have you done today?

Right.

You want to make me feel bad. I'm not getting into that.

No, I'm serious. Are you ever going to work at anything?

Fuck.

I'm looking. There's nothing. You know it isn't easy.

- But at least I look after Irene. - If you say so.

- How are you going? - By bus.

Come on, I'll drive you to the station.

No, I've ordered a taxi. Stay with Irene.

- Come on, it's no trouble. - I've already called the taxi.

OK? It's all right, I'll call you when I arrive.

All right.

Blanca,

give your father a kiss from me.

Catching up on things? - Yes.

How's your father?

Better.

- Much better. - Good.

When I heard, I didn't know if I should call you. So he's better?

Yes, thank you.

I'm glad. How are you?

I'm fine.

Look, I wanted to tell you that, as you were away,

Ricard told me that I should work on the warehouse too.

I didn't know.

We thought nothing would come up

but in the end it did. It seems they're serious.

Is it certain?

It seems so.

It seems so. No one told me anything.

I'm telling you now, Carla.

Well,

maybe we can go out and celebrate.

- Celebrate what? - The sale.

You have to celebrate that. I mean, you made the sale.

So you have to celebrate.

Yes, but we can celebrate together.

All right.

- Are you really OK? - Why do you keep asking that?

The other day, today: "Are you OK?" Are you OK?

- Don't take it badly. - No, seriously.

Are you OK?

- Yes, I'm fine. - Good, we're both fine.

Go celebrate on your own.

And next time, don't steal my clients, it's a bad way to start.

Yes?

Yes, speaking.

What?

Where're we going, ma'am?

Are you listening to me, ma'am?

I don't know, keep driving.

Excuse me, is there a bingo hall around here?

- A bingo hall? - That's right.

Yes, a few.

Take me to the nearest one.

17.

2-

- Bingo! - Bingo has been called.

I've had

33 and 42 for bingo since they called the line. It's...

I told you this table is no good. It isn't lucky.

That one over by the pillar.

That one is good.

But you have to get here early, because everyone knows that.

- Of course. - Yes.

Dad!

What the hell are you doing here? Everyone's looking for you,

- I've been driving around for hours. - This is Pilar.

- She has relatives in Almeria. - A nephew.

- Hello. - Hello.

We're going to the hospital. You could catch cold.

- How many? - Two.

- Sit down. - And the gentleman?

Four, please.

Sit down, for fuck's sake.

Dad, you can't drink. Shit, you're like a child.

Look, this used to be a place for dancing.

- Tell her, Pilar. -It was a beautiful dance hall.

That part over there

was all a big dance floor, it was fantastic.

We're starting.

Score them out.

5, 36, 12.

23, 78.

Dad, are you all right?

Are you all right, dad?

- Give me a cigarette. - Fuck.

Fuck!

Isn't this something?

I've smoked all my life

and it always tastes the same.

It's amazing.

Sixty one.

Imagine.

Waiting all night to call bingo with sixty one,

with the fucking sixty one,

and...

That's how the game is, love.

- Shall I go with you, dad? - No, don't worry, don't worry.

- I'll go with you. - No, dammit.

Then I'll see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Dad.

- Hello, love. - How are you?

Very well.

- What happened to you? - Nothing.

Leave it.

Irenita?

She stayed at home.

She has school. She'll come when she can.

If she has to study, she shouldn't come.

All right.

Studying

comes first.

Don't worry.

Do you remember

those lights that we saw

in the sky?

They were

a bit like that,

weren't they?

Like what?

Green.

Like that shit.

Because I guess

this is the cemetery,

isn't it?

What sons of bitches.

They even paint

the cemetery for us.

Why? Because that's how it's always been clone.

We take turns to talk about ourselves.

I know how it goes, but, I don't know...

- Let's see, for example, what do you like? - What do I like?

Yes, but without thinking. If you think, it doesn't count.

Okay.

- Going out for dinner, for example. - Yeah, but everyone likes that.

It has to be more specific.

See, it doesn't work.

- You have to be quicker. - Listen.

Really, I called you because I wanted to apologize

-for yesterday. - It doesn't matter.

No, seriously. I shouldn't have got like that.

Just forget it.

- Why did it annoy you so much? - What?

That I asked if you were OK.

I don't know. I guess

- because I don't know you. - Yeah, but,

it was no big deal.

- That's why I apologized. - Yes, yes,

but even if I don't know you, can't I still worry about you?

But that isn't normal.

If someone you don't know worries about you, they usually want something.

- So that's it. - What?

You thought I wanted something from you.

But we're having dinner, aren't we?

Pli�,

in French,

is "bend". But look at me.

This is first position.

Sorry.

I can't do the grand plie for you, my skin is too tight.

I did ballet for four years.

But in life you end up...

My father, for example.

My father just won't fight.

You understand what I mean?

- But that's normal, isn't it? - No.

I've thought about it lots of times and...

If it happened to me, I'd fight, right?

I don't know.

Yes, because in life you have to want.

It's all a matter of wanting.

We've often talked about it because I get on well with my father.

You have to talk to your parents. Always,

deep down, we've understood each other.

It's been a long time and...

We've shared lots of things

and we've travelled together. Have you travelled with your father?

- Not much, as a child. - You have to travel more with him.

You have to share things with your parents,

you have to travel, you have to go to the cinema, and do all that...

Hey, Carla,

if you don't...

We don't have to talk about this if you don't want to.

Why not?

Why are you saying that?

I don't...

I don't understand. If I'm telling you

it's because I want to.

- I'm sorry. - Because I feel like it.

- I'm sorry. - No, I don't know. I'm kind of...

- Am I bothering you? - No, no.

That's not why I said it. I just don't want you to worry.

Can I have a gin and tonic, please?

- Come on, let's go home. - What do you mean, home?

- I'll take you home. - No, I'm staying!

- Don't serve it. - Fuck off!

Didn't I just order a drink?

You...

I what?

You've hurt me a lot, Carla.

- You're such an actress. - I'm an actress?

What about you? What do you think you're doing?

I've seen dad and he's worse than ever.

Blanca, I have to go to work. I'm late.

You just took him away, you ignored what everyone told you.

If I'd left him there, I don't know.

And what's going to happen here? What's going to happen here?

He's being treated, the best doctors are looking at him.

Are they going to cure him?

No, answer me. Are they going to cure him?

Are they?

I honestly don't know why I bother.

You're both the same.

And I'm in the middle, like an idiot.

Look, maybe it's true.

Maybe I am an idiot.

A yokel who stayed in the town and knows nothing.

- That's it. - What are you on about?

I can't stand you, or him!

Always the fucking same. Always.

You do your own thing and to hell with others.

You stayed because you wanted to! Don't use me as an excuse!

I wanted to, or I didn't want to.

I don't know, because I didn't have time to think about it.

It's...

It's impossible. Impossible.

Fuck. We're a family, aren't we?

We're a family.

These things are supposed to unite us.

What are you taking?

Trankimazin.

Nacho says you're just a bad person.

I'm sorry, he's your husband, but he's an asshole.

Yes, but he may be right.

Yes, he may be right.

We're giving him opioids now. That's the best for these situations.

They're analgesics, so he feels less uncomfortable.

- He's coughing a lot. -Yes.

The analgesics will help with that.

And we'll alternate them with antibiotics.

It's also likely that...

Well, you'll find that at times he has trouble remaining conscious.

- All right. - I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Aren't you going to eat?

I'm not hungry.

You haven't eaten a thing.

I was in Madrid, you know?

It was...

shortly before dad got sick.

I went for a few days to look at acting schools.

I told Nacho I was going to see our cousin. What could I say?

The course is three days a week, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

I could go Thursday and Friday, that's no problem.

Nacho would stay with Irene

and then I'd be back home for the weekend.

But Tuesday,

what do I do with the driving school?

I asked them, because I thought

maybe I could skip Tuesday

and make up for it another clay. But apparently you can't,

because the Tuesday class can only be given on Tuesday.

Obviously.

But it's like I told them.

I've already done this, I wouldn't be starting from scratch.

Don't you remember?

Remember what?

That I took acting classes when I finished high school.

I don't remember, Blanca.

Yes, in Almeria.

I'll carry on with Marcelo. Marcelo is good.

Anyway, what would I do in Madrid?

I really like acting, it's good for me.

But, of course, then you say...

But Marcelo is good, isn't he?

Yes. Marcelo is very good.

Well, I'm going up to the room.

I won't be long.

Try to eat something.

He's very bad, he hasn't slept. Maybe half an hour.

Then he woke up

and he started calling: "Mother, mother."

And after a while: "Let's get out of here."

And I said: "Where do you want to go?"

And he said: "To the Canary Islands."

I said: "What are you going to do on the Canary Islands?"

And he didn't say anything.

Go and see him, he's very bad.

Dad.

Dad!

Dad, do you want to watch TV?

Shall I turn on the TV?

Fuck.

Dad,

I'm going to fix it, hang on.

Hey, listen. The TV in 107 isn't working.

- You have to go to Reception. - No, we bought a card, but it's gone off.

- Yes, you have to go to Reception. - But my father wants to see it.

I'm sorry.

Hey!

- Yes? - The television. It isn't working.

It's probably out of credit.

No, I put in money, more than enough.

We'll check it out. The room number, please?

-107. -107.

No, it's showing that it has no credit.

I'm telling you that it has.

- It must be broken. - Get them to fix it.

- This afternoon... - Fucking now!

Now! He wants to see it now!

I'll do what loan, but you must calm down.

- Call your supervisor, please. - What?

Call your supervisor!

Call your fucking supervisor!

- Ma'am, calm down, please. - I'll calm down when they fix it!

I'm fucking paying here! I'm paying!

Call your manager, he can explain to me!

- Ma'am, please. - Don't dare lay a hand on me!

- I won't, but please calm down. - It has to be fixed.

They will fix it. They'll add more credit.
