Isidro Hernández?

Yes, that's me.

Come with me, please.

I brought my CV, if you want...

-No, no.
-Very well.

Well, here it is.

Go ahead.

Right then... See you later.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

Well, here I am.

I'm Isidro.

Hello.

I'm grateful for this opportunity.

Yes, it's a privilege to be here.

No, I'm not... no, no.

I'm here for the interview too.

Hello, good morning.

-Hello.
-Good morning.

Sit, please.

As you know, we're going to
do some group dynamics.

I imagine it's not the first time,
so you'll know how it works.

Excuse me.

I came for an interview,
maybe I've made a mistake.

-You're Isidro, aren't you?
-Yes.

Manolo told me you'd come.
Don't worry, there's no mistake.

Well, I don't know what
this dynamic thing is.

It's just a modern version
of the classic interview.

But to understand it,
it's best to start with one.

The situation is as follows...

You're on a desert island.

You're the only survivors
of a shipwreck.

Each of you has to suggest an item

and explain why it's necessary
in order to survive.

Then, you have to agree
which one is the best.

Go ahead.

-If it's alright with you, I'll start.
-Very well.

I suggest a water desalination device.

You can't live without water.
It's a basic element of survival.

True.

But I imagine there'll be
some kind of river.

We'd just have to find it.

It's better if we suggest
the items first,

then get into the debate.

Okay. Then I...

I'd bring matches.

Yes, fire is fundamental
to survival.

And it's not something you find
walking around the island.

-Go on. Anyone else?
-Well...

A radio transmitter.

Like those in the movies.

To ask for help
and send Morse Code messages.

And you know Morse Code?

-Alright, next.
-A box of tools.

We'll need to build a shelter,
traps for hunting,

fishing tackle, a boat, furniture...

Very good.

-Go.
-I...

I'd take a medical kit

with bandages, analgesics,
antipyretics, antihistamines...

Great.

And you?

An extreme survival book that explains

how to make fire without matches,
shelters without tools,

how to survive without medicines,
desalinate water

and even to learn Morse Code.
We'll need it,

because it looks like no one here
did military service.

Sorry.

I got out of it. Flat feet.

-Is it my turn?
-Yes.

I think my companions here
have said it all.

I'm sorry, you have to think
of something they haven't said.

Right, but I can't think of anything.

I really don't get
what this has to do...

with a job interview.

Isidro, group dynamics,
or role-playing,

allows us to check a skill set
that we need for the position

that a simple interview doesn't show.

Such as teamwork,
the ability to make decisions,

reactions to the unforeseen,
expressivity...

Hold on, if that's it...

I've brought a CV that shows

I've been a salesman for 30 years.

Yes, I'm sure. But we'd like
to see these skills in person.

So, please, what would you take
to the island to survive?

-Something they haven't said.
-Exactly.

A blanket.

In case it gets chilly.

Sorry...

I'm totally blocked.
I really don't understand...

Never mind.
We'll go to the next one.

You can't sell this.

Think of a possible advantage
of the product.

It's absurd.

It says "a cup for left-handed people".

Okay, never mind.

-Next.
-Me.

I have to give reasons why
my companion isn't apt for this job.

Old, outdated, from another era.

I don't mean he wasn't a good salesman,
but his techniques are antiquated.

Even his image is old,
not fashionable.

I don't think it's the best image
for a company.

He should enjoy a deserved retirement,
his grandchildren,

and make way for new generations.

GRANDPAS

I swear, it's not about
the money, Miguel.

No!

I'm climbing the walls,
two years I've been like this.

Just if you hear of anything,
please, tell me, okay?

Antonio? It's me, Isidro.
How are you?

That's exactly why I called.

All the companies
are looking for young people.

That's what I say,
experience isn't valued anymore.

Yes, I understand, sure.

Don't worry.
Thanks for everything.

Right, Julián, but...

I know it's a young man's game,

but if you give me a chance
I'll work so hard...

Never mind. Don't worry.

No, I don't to cause you any trouble.

Thanks anyway.

Yes, it's... it's Isidro.

Again.

Sorry to bother you again.

I just wanted to find out
if your calls were working.

I'm waiting, if you have a moment,
please call me.

And sorry to bother you.

You have nothing to do, right?

Sorry, Dad, but they can't go
to day-care with a fever.

-I'm really messed.
-Leave him here, go on.

I'll pick him up
right after work, okay?

What's this?

A devil's device.
Better you don't know.

This is a mucus extractor.

Mouth on this end
and breathe through here.

Understood.

I'm leaving, I'm late.

Oh, Dad. Don't let him
play with your phone all day, okay?

-Trust your dad a little.
-Thanks, Dad.

You're the best granddad
in the world.

What can I say?
The other one is dead.

Alright.

Salva!

Good God.

What are we going to do
the whole darn day?

-Do you want my mobile?
-Yes.

Yeah? Let's get it.

She was a beautiful,
mysterious woman.

Her elegant movements
mesmerized men and women

and awakened equally
desire and envy.

She bored her seductive eyes
into his.

Another coffee, please.
Do you want anything?

We have to hand in
the final draft to the editor.

I'm about to finish it.
I was actually working on it.

Excuse me. Hi.
Aren't you Arturo Solano, the writer?

Yes, I am.

I'm a huge fan of your work.
Can I get a photo with you?

Of course.

Would you mind?

Thank you so much.

When I put this on my friends' chat,
they'll be so jealous.

You're our inspiration.

Please, I'm just a writer.

You're much more than a writer.

No one can capture the hearts
of women the way you can.

I'd settle for just a writer.

I won't bother you any further.

I hope to see you again.

Thank you.

Working, right?

-Yes, working.
-Yes, work, work.

If you don't meet your deadlines,
you won't get any more work.

Joaquín, inspiration
is capricious and elusive.

Yes, I know. Like love.

Exactly.

But business isn't, Arturo.

I got the publisher to give us
another month to hand in the draft.

I don't mean anything by this,
but they're looking out for newcomers.

-I always come through.
-Right.

Late, but I come through.

One month.

How does he want me to write love stories
unless I don't seek them out?

Here it is.

Look.

It smells great.

You'll see when you taste it,
it's finger-licking good.

Well, here I am.

What was so important
that you had to tell me?

Look, Dad...

Just a second.

This has to be immortalized.

Get together.

There.

Cheese. Cheese.

-Cheese.
-There you go.

Look. You two look so nice.

Thanks, honey.

Dad, listen...

They raised the rent on the flat
and we can't afford it...

We wanted to ask you
if you could lend us some.

What?

It's a loan.
We'll give it back soon.

The tour with my band fell through,
but another one will come along.

Sure. Of course.

No problem.

Really, only if you can.

Of course I can.

I had something saved
for the child.

What child?

I mean, for you.

For anything unexpected.

Dad, you are really something.

I don't mean now.
In the future, who knows?

No, Dad.

How can we have a kid
if we can't pay the rent?

Carlos, please.

I don't mean now.

If things change...

Maybe you could leave your band

and find more stable work.

-Like working on a highway toll?
-Carlos...

I'm going to the bathroom.

It's a relaxed job.

He'd have time there
to compose and such.

I have my contacts.

She bored her seductive eyes
into his and said:

No one can capture the hearts
of women the way you can.

You're much more than a writer.!

Arturo?

Yes.

-Is it you?
-Yes, that's me.

I'm Violeta.

Violeta?

You don't recognize your daughter?

Sure, Violeta...

You've grown so much...

About 15 years.

Do you want to meet
your granddaughter?

What a surprise, eh?

I should've warned you,
sorry, it was all so fast.

It's fine, relax.

A job came up here in Madrid.
It's only for three months.

Great.

Where are you going to stay?

I thought...

Well, maybe you should've
warned me, yes.

I wanted to make sure
you wouldn't run off.

What's her name?

Marcela.

Like your mother.

She's as pretty as her.

-And how is your mother?
-She died.

Six months ago. Cancer,
it was faster than we imagined.

Jeez...

I'm so sorry.
How are you?

I came here because of that too.
I needed to get away.

-And her father?
-A nutcase.

Right?

Well...

There's room for everyone here.

It's just three months, right?

Just three months.

Do you want to go with Granddad?

Yes?

No need to call me "Granddad".

Does it make you feel old?

No.

Come on, you're going to
have to become friends.

Marcela didn't tell her?

No. She didn't know
who the father was.

Come on.

She had her doubts.
She didn't like talking about it.

And you didn't tell her?

She'd just told me
that Marcela died 6 months ago.

It wasn't the time to tell her

that when her mother and I met,

she'd already been born.

I think it's good that
Marcela didn't tell her.

You played her father during
her childhood, then left.

I didn't leave.
Marcela threw me out.

-But it's not the girl's fault.
-And is it my fault?

I just mean that I guess
it's better for Violeta

to think her dad's a rogue

than to tell her
you don't know who he is.

Whose side are you on?

When it's the right time,
I'll tell her.

I don't know how,
but I'll tell her.

Luck befalls those
in no need of it.

-Let's drop it, okay?
-Yes.

And how are you?
How was the interview?

Terrible.

It wasn't an interview.

It was a group dynamic.

It's like a circus where
you had to do dumb crap.

Like what?

Like selling a cup
for left-handed people.

Seriously?

Yes, it's absurd.

I've got one.

I give up.

Let them keep hiring kids

that spend all day clutching
onto their mobile phone.

If the work won't come
to Mohamed, Mohamed...

...starts his own business.

What?

It's not a bad idea.

What are you saying?

Why not?

At my age?

Didn't you say you're
young enough to work?

Are you kidding?

You just need to think of a business.

No risk, no reward.

You get up this early
just to talk crap.

Go on.

She finally went to sleep.

-I'll buy a cot tomorrow.
-Violeta,

-I wanted to talk to you.
-Me too.

Tomorrow's my first day at work

and I doubt they'll let me
take the little one in.

No, I don't think so.

And I've no one to leave her with.

What are you going to do?

How about she stays
with her granddad?

With me?

-I have to work...
-You work at home.

-Right?
-Yes, but not always.

And I know nothing about kids.

It's easy, don't worry,
I wrote it all down.

Plus, she's a girl, and you
understand women, right?

See you tomorrow.

...and feeling the body contact
they relax and fall asleep.

It's very easy.

You put the baby in the sling

and your hands are free to work,

go shopping, strolling,
everything.

I made a list of possible businesses.

How about a gym?

A gym?

They're really in right now.

They just closed mine.

Right, I'm off. List, bear...

FOR MY GRANDSON

A betting shop?

A betting shop?

They're more common
than parking meters.

Next day tell you parents

to at least bring
a packet of biscuits.

No, son, please!

FOR MY SON

The question is: what does
the world need from us?

Apart from looking after
the kids, you know?

That's it.

Here's our business!

Are you serious?

Absolutely.

-Do you really want to start a...?
-A day-care centre, yes.

Desi would be my partner
and Arturo will help out.

Arturo will help you out?
That's a good one.

If we look after the baby.

What baby?

Never mind.
What do you think?

I don't know, Isidro.

That's bad.
When you call me Isidro...

What does Desi say?

If work won't come to Mahomed...

So?

I don't know.

You, starting a day-care centre?

At your age people think
of retiring, not starting a business.

At my age?

At our age.

Don't get mad.

But I don't understand the need
to get into a mess like this.

Look, Amalia, it's...

a question of self-esteem,
of justice...

Or pride.

Yes, pride. So?

Why don't you keep looking for a job?

Because they won't give me one!

You know lots of people,
be patient...

I'm sick of asking favours!

I'm not useless.

I didn't say you were.

Amalia, I need to work.

And I can work.

The only way to do it

is by starting my own business.

If you think it's alright,
otherwise, we'll forget it.

Where will you get the money?

Our bank finances projects,

but first we have to study
its viability.

-Don't you like the idea?
-No, it's not that.

But we need to see a business plan.

A business plan.

Without that, we can't even
start evaluating it.

Right, very well.

In a couple of days

you'll have our business plan.

Look, it's not done
in a couple of days.

If you go on with this idea,
there's a coworking nearby.

A what?

A collaborative workspace

where entrepreneurs meet up.

You can rent a work desk
and prepare the business plan.

Good, good.

Thanks a lot.

We'll go to the co...

Coworking.

So my advice is that you follow
the Canvas model with its 9 blocks:

Customer Segments, Value Propositions,
Channels, Customer Relationships,

Revenue Stream, Key Activities,

Key Resources, Key Partnerships
and Cost Structure.

Did you get any of that?

Any questions?

It's all Greek to me.

Yes, go ahead.

Hello.

You started your first business
with limited resources

and helped loads of
entrepreneurs to get ahead.

It's a simple question.

Please, tell us your secret.

Success doesn't fall from the sky.

An entrepreneur doesn't wait,
he goes out looking.

You want money?

Innovate.

Think differently.

Fight for your dreams.

An entrepreneur takes baby steps

that later become giant leaps.

You are anonymous heroes

capable of making this world better.

Insist,

persevere, never give up.

Fall in love with your idea
and devote yourself to the max.

With tenacity, heart,

with passion.

For you there are no bad days.

There are good days
and days when you learn.

For you there are no obstacles,
only challenges.

And for you, defeat does not exist,

only fresh opportunities.

This is the secret to success.

Well, that and having
a great advisor like me.

Thank you for your attention.

Excuse me.

I loved your talk.

Thanks very much.

I totally agree
with everything you said.

Thanks, that makes two of us.

I'm starting a business

and I'd like you to help me
with the business plan.

No offence,
but I doubt you can afford me.

You just told us to insist,
to persevere

and to never give up.

Arturo Solano.

Yes, that's me.

I don't believe it.

I've been trying to contact you
for so long...

I need to talk to you.

The thing is...

my relationships...

don't even last two weeks.

I'm missing something.

I don't see how I can help you.

I want to be like one of
the men in your books.

You're an expert in love.

Those are made-up stories.

Yes, but they convey something
I want to experience.

My maid left one of
your novels behind,

and since then,

I've been hooked,
it's like a drug.

And I want that.
You have to teach me.

I don't think it can be taught.

I'll pay you, of course,
as a personal advisor.

It's not about the money.

Arturo.

Arturo, please.

Actually, I do have experience
in these matters.

Of course.

-I know a trick or two.
-That's what I want.

I don't need the money,

but you could help me
with a little something.

Whatever you want, really.

Good.

Hi, Dad.

Carlos.

I've been calling you all morning.

Sorry, son, I was tied up.
Where's Lola?

In the car. With the stuff.

What stuff?

We've been evicted from our flat.

I don't know if you'd mind us
staying here till we find something.

Sure.

It'll be just a couple of nights.

Son, please. This is your home.

Go on, tell Lola to come in.

I'll get some supper,
you must be hungry.

Go on.

Calm down, will you?

No, I haven't done the ending yet.

I'll get on it tonight...

I got a bit blocked, that's all.

A family hassle.

I'll get out of it, don't worry.

A family hassle?

We'll talk later.

What are you doing here?

Weren't you going out?

Yes, but I got thrown out
of the theatre.

It turns out the mothers are banned
from feeding their babies.

Onstage you can whip out
a tit and it's fine,

but in the audience it's a scandal.

They kicked you out for that?

Dogs aren't allowed, or babies.

How could you go to
the theatre with a baby?

What did you want me to do?

You said you couldn't
mind her today, you had to work.

I'd already said I'd go.

What are you going to do?

Report them, of course.

I mean now.

I don't know. We can have dinner.

I'm having dinner with someone.

Didn't you have to work?

It's a work dinner,
with a lady friend.

Here.

And you want me to leave.

You said you were going out
until late.

Until late... How late?

I don't know.

We can sleep somewhere else
and come back tomorrow.

She'll have gone by midday, right?

A little respect, please.

I'll open up.

A little respect...

Hello.

I'm Violeta.

Hello.

Come in, come in.

Hi.

Don't worry, I'm just his daughter.
And this is his granddaughter.

How gorgeous! Hello.

We won't bother you.
We'll take a stroll and leave you be.

A stroll? At this hour?

Yes, you're right.
It's very late for the little one.

You stay, we'll eat out.

Or we could all have dinner here.

Fine by me.

Sure! Come in.

Only another woman
truly understands a woman.

Men don't have the sensitivity.

You're absolutely right.

Well,

Arturo's the only one
who gets somewhat close.

Yes, his feminine side
is more developed.

Elena, how about I see you home?

It's getting late.

Though that's in the novels.

In daily life he's not so feminine.
On the contrary, he's quite a bloke.

Really? Tell me.

From what they say in Argentina,

he's a ladies' man, a seducer,

he can't help falling hopelessly
in love with a woman...

every week.

Well, you know that in Argentina

they often exaggerate

and the story might not be
exactly what you were told.

Oh, yeah?

And what's your story?

I don't think this is the time.

Why not?

We both admire
your wonderful love stories.

Go on, tell us.

I think it's getting late for me.

Why a day-care centre?

Do you have experience
in the sector?

Well, we're granddads.

Right.

Look,

if you want this to be a success,

you have to know the tiniest detail
of the service you're offering.

First, the customer,

the parents.

Find out about maternity
and paternity leave,

working hours, part-time, etc.

Then, the legal requisites,
permits, admin licenses,

qualified staff, graduates,
and of course,

the final recipient
of the service: the babies.

The toys they like most,

the beds they sleep in better,
comfy urinals...

No one, absolutely no one
in this country,

can know more about
day-care centres than you.

Fine.

Have you thought of a location?

It's not a deal-breaker
in some business, but in your case

finding the perfect place
may mean success or failure.

A place with lots of children
and very few day-care centres.

No. A place with lots of parents
and very few day-care centres.

Sure.

A day-care centre near work.
Great idea.

Fine. So you have no business plan,
no experience, no premises.

No, fine. It's fine

You're keen and that's essential
to begin a start-up.

What's a "starstruck"?

An Anglo-Saxon term
for a newly-created business.

So, how about the dinner?

What dinner?

Friday with my sister,
I just told you.

Oh, yes, dinner with your sister.

The bank's going to be knocked out
by our business plan.

The Canvas will make them...

Sure, you don't know
what a Canvas is.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm worried
about those two.

Who?

Who else?
My sister and Alberto.

They're having a rough patch.

They've been that way
since they were married.

Your sister's so stubborn.

Relax, these things happen
in a marriage.

It all works out in the end.

I have a good feeling.

It'll turn out alright.

You really think so?

I'm absolutely certain.

This business is going to succeed.

This omelette's goddamn good.

Carlos...

Carlos!

How was your day?

Fine. You?

Fine.

Nacho called me
to see if we're going to the gig.

I don't feel like it.

Look at this. Look...

Fantastic!

What did you put in it?

Professional secret.

Thanks for taking us in.

Really.

Thank you.

Carlos is very grateful too.

It's hard for him to express it.
It's a tricky situation for him.

He's lucky he can count on you.

We're lucky we can count on you.

Lucky and with a lot of nerve.

No, really. I needed company.

I find that hard to believe.
You're never at home.

Because I'm an entrepreneur.

Really? In what?

We're setting up a business.

What business?

I don't know if I can tell you.

Okay, don't worry.

A day-care centre.

What?

No...

That's nice.

That's nice, it's great. And...

..why are you into that now?

You know I've always loved kids.

And it's never too late
to be enterprising.

Besides, it amuses me and I make
a little money, never a bad thing.

Listen, Desi...

if money's tight,

we don't want to be
a burden, really.

No, no, it's not for me...

it's for a friend that needs it.

He must be a good friend.

Yes.

Hello, good morning.

We wanted to rent a work table,
is that what it's called?

Good morning, everyone.

Hello.

We've come to work.

Here we are.

Want to try it?

No, thanks.

It's very simple.

You can't consider the financing...

You're in the world because
it takes all kinds! Hold the baby.

What I mean is that
if we have income,

all the problems are solved.

How do we get revenues?

There you go.

She bored her seductive eyes into his...

What do I have to do
to get you to sleep?

If I sing you a lullaby,
you start dancing.

If I hold you in my arms,
I can't write.

"And that's how
she confronted her destiny.

For the first time in her life,
she listened to her heart.

She didn't let fear defeat her
and entered, determined and brave,

the bedroom of her lover".

I think I'll skip this part.

Okay, okay.

There was once a knight errant...

who had a mission:

to free himself from
an evil witch and her pet,

a tiny spitting dragon.

Honey, you won't believe
the Finnish teaching method.

Do you know it?

I've been calling you.
Why won't you answer?

What's wrong?

I've been waiting for an hour.
Let's go.

-We'll be late.
-Go where?

Susana and Alberto's dinner.

Oh, right. I can't...

-You can't what?
-I can't go.

You're kidding me, right?

No, I have a lot of work to do.

Sorry, I seem to recall
that you don't have a job.

I'm sorry.

But we're meeting my sister.

She needs us. Really.

Honey, your sister needs you.

She can't stand me.

When I disagree with her,
she goes berserk.

I don't belong there.

I don't believe it.

You're really not coming?

If you're going to be like that...

No, relax, there's no need
for you to come with me.

Stay here...

playing "professions".

"They kept him at the top
of the highest tower,

stopping him from rescuing
the princesses of the nearby kingdoms,

who cried in despair
at the absence of such a noble,

elegant, attractive
and seductive knight".

-You're back.
-Hello.

Hello.

Hello. Hello.

How are you?

Thanks.

And sorry for the other day.
I spoke too much.

Relax. It's fine.

What were you telling her?

A story.

She wouldn't sleep.

You made it up?

Yes, she didn't like my novels.

It seems she liked the story. Right?

So it seems.

In the end you'll get
a knack for babies.

Listen...

Violeta, I have to tell you something...

My mum told me a story every night.

I loved it.

And I thought you'd written

all the stories in the world.

You'll want to put her to bed.
I'll put the cot in its place.

This is perfect.

But I told you, the owner
doesn't want to rent it.

He just wants to sell.

If only we had the money
to buy it.

This is the only place that has

all the legal requisites.

Half an hour from here
we have the perfect premises.

It was a day-care centre,
near a school.

No, it has to be
in this business area.

It's key to the business.
Can't you do anything?

I can talk to the owner again.

But I can't guarantee anything.
It's hard.

Try. We'll be so grateful.

Get to know the competition.

Mind if I record you?

No, of course not.

There you go, the competition.

Get to know it
in order to improve on it.

Visit day-care centres,
see their strong points

and find a competitive advantage
that differentiates and lifts you.

Wow! Where'd you get it?
Amazing!

With its tape and everything.

It's very cool. Awesome.

-You like the vintage thing?
-Vintage?

I don't know,
I've had it a while.

Cool. Have you got any more?

-Of these?
-Yes, antique-style.

I bet you write on an Olivetti.
I'm mad about antique stuff.

No way. My generation still writes
on stone tablets.

Okay. Sorry, Arturo,
I didn't mean to offend you.

Let's get to it. What do you
want to learn from this old guy?

My problem's not getting a date.

These days it's easy
with the social networks,

press a button, and bam.

But when I start a relationship,
since there's no...

no communication,
no feeling, no spark!

Poetry is missing.

Poetry?

Yes. You have read poetry?

I'm not much into poetry.

It's the seduction game.

Hint, but don't show.

With patience, you simmer
the moment on a low heat.

Right, you're not into cooking either.

Right, now you have homework.

So if the schedule is until 4:30 pm

and the parents get out at 8:00 pm,
what happens with the girl?

She'd stay with the grandparents.

And if she had none?

She'd stay in extended hours.

And that's extra, sure.

Yes.

My daughter's lucky
to have me.

Your granddaughter.

My granddaughter, I mean.

It's like she's my daughter.

I'm no longer at the age to...
nor do I have anyone.

I'm a widower.

Gee, I'm sorry.

It was a long time ago.

I'm widowed too.

That was a long time ago too.

You didn't remarry?

No.

No, no. Why?

I don't know.

A woman like you...

It's strange.

Really?

Anyway...

Yes, about the extended hours,

does the centre hire extra staff

or do the teachers
look after the children?

Excuse me, Desiderio,
but I have to go.

Look, here's a suggestion.

This afternoon we're holding
the centre's autumn festival.

Why don't you come?
There'll be parents and teachers

and you can talk to them too.

-Alright.
-Yes?

Great. I'd love to see you again.

Bring your granddaughter.

She looks like her granddad.

Yes, on her mother's side.

I'm the granddad
on her father's side.

Right. It's been a pleasure.

Same here.
Thanks for the information.

Well, up you go.

Shall I help you?

Yes, please.

Alright...

Alright...

That's it.

Beautiful.

Did you have any more
questions for me?

No, I got everything.

Well, I'll be going.

-Can I see you home?
-Don't bother, I live nearby.

It's no bother.
I can take the girl for a stroll.

It's here.

It's here.

It really was close!

-Well, I'm going.
-Me too.

When I get home,

I'll work out more questions
for another day, if you don't mind.

I hope so.

Well, 'bye.

'Bye, see you later.

Aren't you forgetting something?

I mean the stroller.

I'm dying to hear those questions.

"And that's how our three
errant knights got on their way.

Not without a certain fear,
but resolutely and bravely."

Hey there.

I wanted to leave
some survey sheets to...

No, I'm sorry, we cannot
take any documents.

"The people watching them depart
saw nothing strange..."

Sorry, may I stop you
a moment for a survey?

"Or saw only old, crumpled capes

tattered by time,
the cold wind and rain.

But if they'd taken full stock...

they would've noticed the fire
burning inside them

that, lighting up their faces,
return to them

in a way, the flush of youth."

Well, that's it.

My God.

It's much bigger
than I remembered.

And it's so joyful,
with all this light!

-And it's ours!
-That's it, that's it.

-It's ours!
-That's it, that's it.

"And so they set about
crossing seas and rivers,

hills and mountains.

Listen, do you have children?

Forests and deserts...

...paying no heed to the dangers
they'd face along the way.

I'm going to sleep.

Nor whether their risky endeavour
would be successful.

But they had no doubt

that if one day they
returned home safe and sound,

they'd never be the same again".

Hello, you two.

You look happy.
Where have you been?

Having a drink.

You should go out.
It's a lovely night.

Who were you with?

A wonderful woman.

Are you joking?

-Seriously?
-Completely.

And we are dating in
a very formal way.

I asked her to go out with me
and she said yes.

I think I'm in love.

I don't know... Congratulations!

What are you laughing at?

It sounds like a joke.

Ignore him.

What's her name?

Teresa.

I felt those flutters today that
I hadn't since I was with my wife.

Let's drop it, you're way too old
for this nonsense.

What is it with you?

Why?

You could show a bit of respect.

And gratitude.

Did you see him?

It's a bit embarrassing.

So that's the problem.

What problem?

You're ashamed of your father.

What's wrong with you?

Do you see how you treat him?

You barely speak to him,
and that's only to mock him.

I don't mock him.

Do you know why
he got into this business?

That's another thing.

A 70s crisis?

To help us.

To make money for us.

No, for his future grandchild.

He's been obsessed with it for years.

And what's so bad about that?

He wants us to have a child.
And why not?

You really want to discuss this now?

Yes. How about that?

I don't. How about that?

You're a coward.

You're bitter and neurotic.

Always whining about
how badly life's treated you.

You should learn from your dad.

Oh, yes? Learn what?

His ambition, for example?

His whole life in a tollbooth.

Admirable.

Yes, his lust.
His lust for living.

He's alive. He loves living,
cooking, singing.

He's in love, damn it.

At 70 years old.
And it's not a fucking joke!

It's amazing.

And you?

What about you?

We never go out anymore,

we never do anything.

You don't even like music anymore.

You're the old man.
You're 700 years old.

You haven't called her?

No, it wouldn't have worked out.
I'm not ready.

Sure you are.
Believe in yourself.

If I screw up,
I won't get any more chances.

What do you mean?

If it doesn't work out,
get another girl from your app.

No, Arturo. She's different.

I went out with her
some time ago.

She's the only girl I've loved.

So all this was just

to get back your great love.

Yes, I suppose so.

Then...

forget my novels
and everything I've told you.

For this there are
no tricks or shortcuts.

You have to be yourself.

No, that won't work,
I assure you.

With the girls on the Internet,
maybe not.

But you said she's different.

No, it won't work out.

What if you try it
with another girl first?

One you haven't met on the Internet.

A normal girl.

Are you going to
pretend to be Pamela again?

I know a girl who can help you.

My daughter.

You have a daughter?

Meet her, try to be yourself.

If she doesn't run off in 5 minutes,
then this might work.

I don't know, Arturo,
I've got a bad feeling.

Do you want your girl back or not?

More than anything in the world.

Then listen to me.

Alright. Thanks.

Thank you for helping us on this.

It's very good,

but you still need something
very important. Record it.

BUSINESS PLAN - DAY-CARE CENTRE

It's fundamental.

How many great ideas have failed
just for not having the right name?

You have to find your name,

who you are,
why the world needs you,

what makes you unique...

A name that talks about
your origin, your history

and that's also new,

original and modern.

A word that defines you.

GRANDPAS - BUSINESS PLAN

You star.

Oh, sole mio.

I don't think that's Italian.

We've come to fine fruition.

I'm going down to...

"O, angel of love, do you see
that on this secluded shore

the moon shines clear and pure

-and one breathes more easily?".
-Much more.

-That's no angel, that's my wife.
-And you're my friend.

That's enough!

Lady.

Let's go, my squire, here it's...

-Don't let me down tomorrow.
-No, no.

Honey, look.

This is fine by you?!

-Beautiful.
-I'm sick of calling you.

-We've finished.
-You had to pick up the kids.

-With this they've give us the loan.
-I had to do it!

-I'm starting a day-care centre.
-And I had a work meeting.

A dream come true.

Are you listening to me?!

To start my own business.

You made a commitment
to your son, a commitment.

Champions...

You can't do whatever you want.

Champions...

I missed an important meeting
because of you.

Will you stop acting like a kid?!
This isn't a game!

Go on, go to bed.

Got to bed, go.

Grounded! Sleep on the sofa!

I must apologize to you.

I didn't think you could do it,
and you did.

My bosses are knocked out.

Thanks a lot.

The business seems viable.

When you show us collateral,
we'll approve the loan. Well done.

Just a moment.

What do you mean 'collateral'?

Collateral or any guarantee
that ensures repayment of the loan.

But didn't you just say
the project was viable?

Please, no tears from the baby,

because this collateral thing
and the baby...

Didn't you say
the project was viable?

I said it seemed so,
so we support it,

but in the case that it's not,

the bank can't take on
so much risk, obviously.

So that sign there,
"all you need is an idea"...?

I said the bank supports you.

Yes, but it won't take a risk.
We take the risk.

So there has to be collateral, right?

That's right.

Property, a pension plan...

Very well.

Would our houses do?

Yes.

No way. My house?

It's fine. My house.

Would my house be enough collateral?

Yes, it would.

What are you saying?
You'd risk your house?

I'm not risking a thing.

This man, a professional
from top to toe,

just said the project's viable,
that the business will be a success.

Right. And what will Amalia say?

Get the baby to shut up, please!
Really!

We have to go everywhere with kids!

Jesus Christ on the Cross!

Honey...

Do you know Arturo
has written a new book?

It's nothing like
what he's written before.

I think you'll like this one.

Are you really not going to
talk to me all day?

But I can talk to you, right?

We presented the business plan
at the bank and they loved it.

But in turn they need us to...

Don't you dare talk to me about it.

Hold on a moment.

I know you're mad at me,
but I have to consult with you.

Do what you like.

I don't want to know anything
about your business.

But it's very important.

I see you're married
with separation of assets

and the property is
your private asset.

But when it's a primary residence

your spouse's consent is necessary.

No, it's not my primary residence.

Good, then I'll read
the terms of the contract.

Didn't I tell you?

So could you reduce it here?

Yes, I think that here...

The main thing is if you can
supply 20 to 25 the same.

Exactly the same as this?

Look, the bathrooms there.

Yes, give me 4 units of each.

None of this stuff.

What's this party?

I was with my sister.
They're separating.

Jeez!

How is she?

A mess.

They've been estranged for a while.

A lot of work, they were arguing...

But she didn't expect it.

I'm so sorry.

She told me something
that made me think.

For some time they never
told each other important things.

So this dinner is my way
of saying I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't listen to you.

No, I'm the one who
should say sorry to you.

No.

You've never let me down, ever.

You've always been
by my side, supporting me,

trusting in me.

So it's not fair that
I turn my back on you now.

I'm so sorry.

So, tell me. I'm all ears.

What?

This important thing
for your business.

Yes.

How do I tell you this?

We're going to offer...

extended hours in the evening.

With no extra charge.

Oh, good.

We won't make as much, sure,

but we'll stand out from the rest.

And that's it.

Sure.

Well, a toast, right?

Hello.

Is something wrong, Violeta?

I was moved.

I've never read
such a beautiful love story.

I'd love to experience
something like that.

That only happens in novels.

Was it not like that with Mum?

Kind of, at least at the beginning.

Why did you two end it?

That's complicated.

-Was it because of me?
-What?

Maybe it was silly, but I always
thought it was my fault.

Yes, that is silly.

Then why did you ignore me
for 15 years?

Look, Violeta...

there's something
I should've told you.

Well, your mother should've told you.

When your mother and I met,
your mother...

I don't want to talk about my mum.

I know she wasn't perfect.

And maybe you're right,
she got crazy jealous.

I can even understand why you left.

I didn't leave.

-Your mother kicked me out.
-And me?

You didn't fight for me.

You didn't come back.

No letter.
Not even a call.

Nothing, ever.

Look,

some people want to be a parent
and look forward to it,

and for others,
it comes more as a surprise.

When I met your mother...

I'm talking about later.

I waited for you every day
for a long time, Dad.

I was seven.

I felt so alone.

I even thought it was better
to have never met you.

But those seven years
were beautiful.

And now you're here.

I should feel lucky to have you.

A lot of people don't have anyone
they can call "Dad".

I guess...

I wasn't good at being a dad.

You weren't good at it...

Sure.

Why did you give the space
to someone else?!

I'm so sorry, Isidro,
but it wasn't my doing.

The owner got an offer to buy
that he couldn't refuse.

But this is impossible, no way.

We'd signed a contract!

Yes, but it was
a down payment contract.

We'll reimburse you.

I don't want reimbursement,
I need that venue!

I can't do anything, Isidro.

This isn't the way
things are done, my God!

What a country!

Now how do I pay back the loan?!

I put a mortgage on my house!

Fuck, we bought half of IKEA!

You'll have to speak to the bank.

Very well.

Thanks... for nothing.

It's a children's story.

Yes, for children...

I know it's not what you asked for,
but it's much better.

Can't we look for another place
in the same zone?

We did. It was there or nothing.

Bastards!

Obviously, someone's word
is worth nothing anymore.

Now what do we do?

Nothing. It's over.

It's come to this.

It slipped through my fingers.

I'm losing my way.

I haven't told Amalia
about the house.

She's going to kill you.

I have to tell her.

They're not publishing my book.

Isidro said the book was great,
it was going to be a hit.

He just doesn't get it.

Not one thing right.

What?

The bank needed collateral and...

I mortgaged the house.

What does that mean?

If I don't pay back
the loan in time,

they'll keep it.

Then pay it back.

I can't.

We've spent a lot of money.

You spent the money...

and have no place to rent?

We did, but they took it away.

They took it away from you.

Okay...

Find somewhere else.

You don't get it,
I'm not going on with it.

You're not?

I've done a lot of stupid shit, but...

Now you're going to do more?

What?

Alright, Isidro,
let's see if I get this.

You decide all by yourself
to start a business.

I think it's crazy,

but you carry on because,
hey, it's your dream.

The Finnish method...

the Norwegian business model...

-Swedish.
-Swedish...

Great.

You ignore the family, yes,

but you keep fighting
for your ideals,

you must understand that.

Then one day you decide,
calmly and all by yourself,

to risk our home.

Am I right so far?

Yes.

Okay.

Then you make your big play.

You spend the money
before you have the premises.

I explained to you...

And what occurs to
the great business genius then?

Withdraw from the game.

That's it, isn't it?

Yes. I've made a lot of mistakes.

Yes, that's for sure.

But what about the house?

I don't know,
I'll find another job.

You already have a job.

To start this business, because
I'm not leaving this house, got it?

Look, Amalia, there's no way,
I don't have the venue.

If there's no venue,
you have to draw it,

you hear me?

Stop feeling sorry for yourself
and fight for your little dreams.

Alright?

There you go.

What are you thinking?

You set up a date for me
to teach some guy to score?

I thought you did it for me,

so I'd meet new people, but no,

it's so your pal can practise on me.

Both.

You're a fraud.

It's no big deal.

The kid's got a kind of mental block.

I thought if he did a dummy run
with you, he'd get confidence.

He needs to get back
the love of his life.

And you know about that?

Yes, I do, that's why
I tried to help him.

By using me.

That's how you treat people,
you use them and toss them away.

Mum was right, you're a phony.

Excuse me, this is not
the time to talk about this.

I'm an idiot.

I'd hoped that maybe
you weren't what I was told,

but no, you're worse.

Oh, really?
And what were you told?

That you're a Spanish bastard

who writes about love
but doesn't know what it means.

Sorry, honey, but sometimes
things aren't what you've been told.

The bad guy's not so bad
nor the saint is so saint.

Explain it to me.

Tell me what my mum did
that was so bad you shunned me.

Come on!
Stick to your tragic story,

so you can keep freeloading
with no regrets.

-How much do I owe you?
-What?

I'll pay you and go.

What is wrong with you?

What's wrong with me?

That's not bad, is it?

After 15 years, my dad finally wants
to know what's wrong with me.

Violeta, I don't get you.

You turn up here,
suddenly, without warning.

I take you into my home,
I look after your daughter.

Did I ask you for anything in return?

No. Instead of thanking me,
you throw it in my face.

What more do you want?

Nothing, I've imposed on
your generosity enough.

Violeta, forgive me.

Where's Marcela?

Hello.

Why are you here?

Your son's doing.

What?

But why?

Dad, keep it down, Lola's trying
to get the little one to sleep.

What little one?

She never wants to sleep
until she's seen her granddad.

Her granddad?

Oh, her granddad.

I'm her granddad.

-And a fun granddad.
-Yes, she adores him.

Well, I'll leave you.
Lola and I are going out.

With the little one, of course.

She's asleep. Leave her with us.

You'll wake her up.

No, it's better if she goes out,
a walk will do her good.

Your son is so nice.

Yes, he's surprising sometimes.

And your granddaughter...

is gorgeous.

She attracts love.

Sure. Your friend brought her
around before. Handsome, elegant...

-Arturo.
-Arturo, that's him.

He treated her like
his own granddaughter.

The baby held onto him,
she didn't want to go with her parents.

Teresa, don't you want to sit down?

Feel like some wine?

Yes, thanks.

Well then...

I think it's what I like most
about you, your family

and how you love them.

And how you're so proud
of your granddaughter.

That's very sexy, you know?

Teresa, I have something to tell you.

We're leaving.

-See you later.
-See you later.

So attractive, and so brave.

Young folks today
don't dare have children.

No, they don't.

I'm thinking...
You're the grandfather, right?

The thing is... Look...

I'm the granddad's girlfriend,
so I'm her almost-grandma.

Life, huh?

I never had kids and I find myself
with an almost-granddaughter.

No, but the thing is...

I'm not... my son isn't...

Forgive me, Desiderio.

I talk too much, I always do.

We just met and now
I'm appropriating your family.

Forget what I said, please.

It's not that. I'm delighted
that you like my family.

But my family
isn't really my family.

What?

It's so hard to explain.

It's all happened so fast.

Do you mean us?

No, not us, no. No, Teresa.

God, this is so hard.
Hold on a moment.

My granddaughter...

isn't... Wait a moment,

I'll explain.

Where's my daughter?

I'm sorry.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Where's my daughter?

Her daughter?

She just left with Carlos and Lola.

For a walk in the park.

What?

Do you always do this?

Lend out babies
in order to get women?

What?

You're pathetic.

I'm sorry, Desiderio.

Is it true?
She's not your granddaughter?

No, she isn't.

You used a baby
to score with me.

No, that's not true.

It's not a question.

I find it hard to believe
someone could be...

so low.

So?

Look... Why was our day-care centre
going to be a success?

Location, a business district.

We would've helped

to reconcile family life

with working life.

We can't put the day-care centre
near the workplace.

Fine.

What if we put it
inside the workplace?

I spoke to a company.

In a few days we can present
the project to the Board.

How do you do a presentation?

We'd need a helping hand.

I can talk to Bruno.

I thought it'd be better
someone from the sector,

someone who really knows
day-care centres.

What do you want?
I only have a minute.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Aren't you putting them in water?

Later.

I don't want to end up
like my friend Anselmo.

He's a widower too.

His wife, Amparo,
departed a year ago.

The other day I saw him
and asked him how he was.

He told me: "How else would I be?"

He said: "Ampowerless".

From his wife, Amparo.

Is that your way of apologizing?

Gee...

It's just to break down the first wall.

No...

"Do I need to tell you

that I'm dying to be with you?"

Few paths are left to me,

and though it may seem
some kind of inanity.

I wouldn't want to die
without being with you.

Well, that's better.

Now I might accept
a dinner invitation from you.

You were going to invite me
to dinner, weren't you?

Of course.

Good

But I've got a lot work now.

One second.

I wanted to ask you something.

Now I understand why
you haven't remarried.

But are you going to help us?

How much time do we spend
on the truly important thing?

Everyone complains that
they have short holidays

or no free time

or that retirement is a long way off.

Life is what happens

while we're making other plans.

In what? In work.

It seems that work
is the enemy of life.

Business versus Family.

But why must it be like that?

Why don't we get them
to sign a truce?

To become allies, friends?
In a nutshell,

Our project wants to take
a step further,

to create a day-care centre
inside the company.

First, thank you for thinking of us

for the development of
your business project.

It's admirable that
three people of your age,

sorry, your profile,

are venturing to create
a business in these times

and I admit that it could work.

But I don't think a day-care centre
is profitable for our company.

I mean, the idea of renting
the lobby is good,

but perhaps
there are other businesses

with which our company
could make greater profits.

Well, you may be right.

But then why do so many
other companies already do it?

What's the essence of this place?

Allow me...

José Ignacio Muñoz Gallo.

I don't know if you know him.

He's been at this company
for ten years.

He has two children

and lives an hour
and a half away from work.

He never sees his kids. Why?

When he gets home from work,
his kids are already asleep,

and when he leaves
first thing in the morning,

they're still in bed.

Piedad Serrano.
Five years working with you.

She confesses that
she'd love to have children,

but she won't because she's sure

that she wouldn't have enough time
to devote to them.

Eloisa Vargas.

Five years she's been with you.
You don't know her either?

She has two children

who spend all week with
their grandparents in her hometown.

She could put them in day care,

but she can't afford
the extended hours.

Teresa de los Llanos.

You hired her seven years ago.

She said, I quote:
"I don't want to be a mother

because I'm scared I'll be fired
for asking for reduced hours".

And there are many more.

Can you imagine

what a huge advantage it'd be
for your employees

to have a day-care centre at work?

Gentlemen, they could bring them
to work in the morning.

When they had spare time
they could see them,

even eat with them.

You'd be making family and work...

...compatible.

I'll tell you one thing,
your employees

are the company's greatest treasure.

So a lobby full of children

is a bad image for a company.

But ignoring the needs
of your workers isn't.

It's incredible.

Look, they don't want
a day-care centre, fine.

But they're renting the lobby, right?

We just need to think of
another business.

We still have money left
from the loan.

No, Desi, no.

I'm the one risking his home here.

We have to return the money
somehow, I don't know how.

What about that thing of
"an entrepreneur never gives up"?

That's fine for a talk,
life is something else.

-Where are you going to stay?
-Say 'bye to Arturo.

My contract is over,
we're going back to Argentina.

Argentina?

Yes, we're going home.

You can't leave
because of one quarrel.

You think I'm leaving
because of a quarrel?

I came here for a reason,
to find out the reason.

I don't understand how a father
can abandon his 7-year-old daughter.

Why didn't you come back for me?

That's it, that's everything.

In the time I was here
I realized one thing:

to be a father,
blood ties aren't enough.

Yes, you gave me life,
but a father is more than that.

You just don't get it.

We have the same blood, Arturo.

That's all.

Hi, honey.

-What's this?
-I invited my sister and Alberto.

Have they sorted it out?

No, not yet.

Then...?

I think we can help them.

-If they don't mind.
-I hope not.

What do you mean?

They don't know that
I invited both of them.

What? Amalia, are you crazy?

She'll throw a vase at your head,
you know what she's like.

-I know my sister very well.
-Look here,

she may never speak to you again.

You're going to risk your relationship
with your sister? Are you sure?

No, I'm not.

Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe not.

But I'm standing around
doing nothing, not trying.

"In the uncertainty of the storm
the hero's heart rises".

-What's that?
-That?

Arturo wrote it in his book.

-He's talking about all of you.
-It's just a story for children.

For children?
Everyone should read it.

Do you think so?

For the first time,
Arturo's written something worthwhile.

They're not going to publish it.

Then someone should.

It may be good,

but they're not publishing it.

SIX MONTHS LATER

Do you want a snack?

Here's the music sheet.
Shall we begin?

Let him have a snack.

Alright, but because it's
the last class in your home.

In the academy,
snacks will be forbidden.

You'll have to discuss that
with your partner.

Hi.

-You caught me.
-Relax, eat all you like.

I don't know what's wrong with me,
lately I'm hungry all the time.

You're not...?

No! What are talking about?

Oh, okay.

But do you know something?

Yesterday we went to see a place.

Really?

With two bedrooms.

Never too late to make a start.

A pleasure, really.
Bruno is a great person.

-Thank you so much.
-We've learned a lot from each other.

-A real pleasure.
-We won't bother you any more.

Thanks for everything, Arturo.
Really.

We have to run,
we'll be late for dance class.

It's a beautiful story.

-You can tell you're a granddad.
-What?

You can tell you're a granddad.

"NEVER TOO LATE
TO BE AN ENTERPRENEUR"

-What's the matter?
-Listen to me, Isidro.

Violeta was right.

Violeta?

I am her father, Isidro.

What are you saying?

Being a father is more than blood ties,
and I didn't want to see it.

-I'm going to Argentina.
-What?

With my daughter.
And my granddaughter.

Argentina?

It's about time I took care
of my family.

What about the new project?

I can't deal with it alone.

What was it? "For an entrepreneur
there are no obstacles,

only fresh opportunities".

What's up, Sura?

-Morning, Alex.
-Morning, Isidro.

The people who come here
aren't 25 years old...

and probably never thought
of being enterprising.

but now they need to do it.

And you may think they can't

or they're too old for this,

but you're wrong, they can.

Do you know why?

Because they've spent
all their lives being entrepreneurs.

That means taking risks.

Persevering, making mistakes,
failing and carrying on.

It's fighting for something

and fighting for someone.

It means hoping again.

And now all they need

is an advisor to accompany them
on this passionate journey.

And that's the reason you're here.

Alright, let's get to it.

I guess it's not the first time
you've done a group dynamic.

So you know how it works.

This is the situation.

Imagine...

you're on a desert island...

and you have to sell...

a cup for left-handed people.

GRANDPAS' COWORKING

You're happy today.

"When family comes,
it's a great joy".

"And when they go,
it's even greater".

Get me some grapes.

No, not those!
The expensive ones.

-Who's getting married?
-Today they're coming to visit

with some news for me.

Be very careful,

because "bad news travel fast".

But "grapes ripen
in their own good time".

And "a watched pot never boils".

And "if at first you don't succeed..."
Right?

I'm sure you're right.

I'll tell you all about it.

What a nice guy.
