I'll be honest.

With this kind of income,

I'm afraid I cannot approve this mortgage.

I can't take this any more!

This is driving me crazy! Always the same!

Don't start with this nonsense. We don't have time for it today, okay?

Please calm down, sir. In over 20 years as a bank manager...

Enough, Dad! You're not in the bank!

You haven't worked there for years!

I don't want a loan, I just want you to eat your soup!

What...

Look at the time, great!

Let's just call Julian and tell him to give our tickets away

because we're just not going to make it.

Calm down, Xoán.

They can leave them for us at the box office.

What for? By the time he's finished, it will be over!

It's not that bad.

It's always the same. His head's getting worse by the day.

You can go now.

I'm done.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

I'm Emilio, how do you do?

I'm Emilio, how do you do?

I'm Emilio, how do you do?

That's great, Dad, you've already made new friends.

You're going to have a great time here.

Much better than being stuck in the house.

Well, we have to get going.

We'll come to visit really soon. Take care, Dad.

Bye, Emilio, see you soon.

Bye,son.

Bye,son.

BYE. sum!

Bye, son! Bye, son!

All right, Ramón, we hear you.

We hear you!

You must be Emilio, right? Come, I'll show you to your room.

Okay, thank you.

- I'll take your suitcase. - I can carry it myself.

It's no bother. Come this way.

Come this way!

Come this way! Come this way!

I want to go with my mum.

Mummy! Mummy! I want to go with my mummy!

Mummy! Mummy, I'm scared!

Come on in, Emilio. I'm going to fetch Miguel, your room-mate.

Okay, thanks, I'll wait here.

Why do you leave me, girl Like a chicken-coop's floor

When I always loved you like a lapdog?

Good morning, comrade!

How do you like your cell? What are you in for?

- What am I in for? - Never mind, bad joke.

I'm Miguel, your room-mate.

Emilio. Pleased to meet you.

You're from Argentina, aren't you?

Well, I was born in Ribadeo.

But Mum and Dad emigrated when I was one year old.

So you've come back to the motherland.

Yep, care homes are nicer here.

No, actually, I returned almost 30 years ago.

But I just can't lose the accent.

Anyway, I'll tell you the story of my life later,

they've asked me to show you around.

You want to have a rest first or unpack?

No, I'm fine, let's go now.

Great!

Come, I'll give you the grand tour.

I almost forgot, you have to pay 10 euros

for some administration fee or something.

I can pass it on to the girl who deals with this.

A fee? What kind of fee?

You know, paperwork...

It's better to pay and forget about it.

Well, I was a bank manager. I'm quite good with paperwork.

Wow! A bank manager!

What are you? Another Rockefeller?

Well, just a local branch manager. Nothing that important.

No, a manager's a manager.

If you know about money and stocks, you have to explain it to me.

I don't understand any of it. I'm as thick as two planks of wood.

But listen, these 10 euros, better give them to me now,

in case we forget about it later.

Sure, here they are.

I'll find out later what it's for. Here.

Excellent.

Come this way, Rockefeller, I'll give you the tour.

My name is Emilio! Emilio.

Here it is, the main room.

The palpitating heart of the residence.

Officially, it's the "Panoramic Room".

But everyone calls it the fishbowl.

It's like... A waiting room.

The fishbowl waiting room! The fishbowl waiting room!

- Ramón! You're such a poet! - A poet!

This is Ramón the DJ, he repeats everything he hears.

Yes, we've already... Introduced ourselves.

Ramón was a radio DJ.

But now he doesn't speak, he only repeats what he hears.

It seems that from talking too much, he ran out of words.

Ran out of words! Ran out of words!

Let's go. We've still got lots to see.

Still got lots to see! Still got lots to see!

The dining room.

The library.

The toilets.

Don't get mixed-up with the ladies' over there.

The doctor. He's a bit of a fag, but a nice guy.

The infirmary. Where they keep the drugs to dope us up.

- You're terrible, Miguel. -'Morning, Rosi!

Administration. No old codgers allowed.

The main entrance. If you want to run away, it's through there.

I hope you like watching TV, there's not much else to do here.

To be honest,

I'm not that keen on these nature documentaries.

That's all they ever show here.

We can't change the channel?

I don't know, it's all I've ever seen in two years.

...It also has enzymes which start the digestive process,

dissolving the prey's inner organs...

Shall we continue?

- The gym. - I haven't brought my tracksuit.

Don't worry, you won't need it for what we do here.

And best for last, the swimming pool.

I haven't brought my swimming trunks either.

Don't worry. You'll never use it.

- It's only here to impress the clients. - The clients?

The ones who pay the bills, your children, the government...

They are the residence's clients, not you or me.

The swimming pool's for them,

so they can think this is a five-star hotel.

A swimming pool? Give me a break!

Most people here can't have a shower on their own.

I've always liked swimming.

When I was young, I used to swim in the sea.

Later, when I was working, I used to go to the pool once a week.

I miss it now.

You should ask for the key, then.

They might let you be the first to use it.

Why not? Maybe one of these days.

If you need anything, just ask. I can get you anything here.

Swimming trunks, whatever.

Do you know where I could find a phone?

Good morning, Mrs Sol.

I have to call my sons.

They left me here, but I'm all better now. They'll pick me up.

- Where's the phone? - There's one in reception.

- Will they let me use it? - Sure, no problem.

Pay me now, and then you can use the phone, okay?

That's good.

They have to come pick me up because I'm all better now.

- Is this enough? - Yes, this is fine.

Go to reception and ask for the phone there.

Right, the phone.

I have to call my sons to come and pick me up

because I'm all better now.

Isn't that reception over there?

Sure, don't worry about it, Rockefeller.

She spends her clays looking for a phone, but she never calls anyone.

It keeps her busy.

By the time she gets to reception, she'll have forgotten why she went there.

And it's better that way. They wouldn't let her use the phone anyway.

Why do you leave me, girl Like a chicken-coop's floor

When I always loved you like a lapdog?

Those who don't wise up fast in this rotten world...

Hello? Hello?

Manuel?

I don't want this! You're trying to kill me!

You're trying to kill me! Let me go!

Hey, Rockefeller!

Sorry...

You startled me.

Take a deep breath, Rockefeller.

Don't have a heart attack and beat the record for the shortest stay in the residence.

Yes, sure.

Between the DJ and you,

I'm getting a lot of shocks today.

What's upstairs?

Upstairs?

Upstairs is for the infirm.

The infirm?

The ones who can't cope on their own,

those with dementia or Alzheimer's.

The ones who've lost their marbles.

You don't want to go up there. It's not a pretty sight.

Come, let's go. Dinner's early here.

This is Emilio, my new room-mate.

- Good evening. - This is Antonia.

Pleased to meet you, welcome to the residence.

- And Dolores and Modesto. - Pleased to meet you.

Likewise.

Well, Emilio, how do you like the residence?

It's very modern, isn't it?

The truth is

I haven't really settled yet. I'm still finding my feet.

Sure, that's normal at first, but you'll get used to it very quickly.

We're well looked-after here. We've got everything we need.

By the way, Dolores, have you signed up for the bank holiday trip?

The one to the casino? We are still thinking about it.

Is lunch included in the price?

Let's see, medicines for Dolores and Modesto...

Juanjo, give me something for my legs, they are really sore.

If I don't get better, I won't be able to dance with you!

You know I can't give you anything unless the doctor tells me first.

- You have to talk to him. - Hey, pigtails!

This is Emilio. He's just arrived.

This is Juanjo, one of the nurses. He's a nice guy, despite the pigtails.

They're dreadlocks, Miguel.

Sounds bad, can't the doctor give you something for them?

Miguel, don't pick on Juanjo. His hair suits him like that.

I'm not picking on him, he knows I'm just joking.

- This for Modesto, Dolores... - Thank you.

- Antonia's. - Thank you, Juanjo.

These are yours, Emilio.

You already know what my medicines are?

Yes, don't worry. Your family informed us.

Okay.

They're really well organised here, Emilio.

Yes, especially to dope us.

Hey, pigtails! You've got my pills wrong again.

You forgot my Viagra again.

For God's sake, Miguel! You're so vulgar!

Thank you.

Caramel pudding on your first night! Lucky you!

Lucky? Wait till you taste it, it's tasteless.

Hasn't got any real sugar in it.

Never mind him. It's really nice and very healthy.

Healthy? What do I want to eat healthy for?

I want to enjoy my food.

A good steak, wine, coffee...

At our age, one must eat healthy.

At our age, it doesn't matter any more.

Let's see...

Good, that's it.

- Emilio? - Pardon?

I was saying... Are you going to eat your butter?

- No, take it if you want. - Thank you.

Look at those.

They haven't finished chewing their food

and they are already queuing up to go to bed.

It's the same every night.

Why are they in such a rush?

They need help to get into bed, but there aren't enough nurses.

Some can wait over an hour for their turn.

Why don't they do something else in the meantime?

Something else?

Here there's only eating, sleeping and shitting.

Miguel! We're trying to eat!

FOR SALE

Emilio?

Are you going to eat your jam?

- No, no, take it. - Thank you.

- Are you going to use that teabag? - No, no.

Look at Miguel. He's at it again.

All righty, a nice cup of tea.

What? She's loaded and she couldn't care less.

You're taking advantage of Sol because her head's not working well.

What are you talking about?

I'm doing her a favour. At least she keeps busy this way.

And the money you're conning from her, that's a favour, too?

Hold on, I'm not harming anyone!

What's she going to do with the money they send her every month?

Nothing!

What do you want? Should I tell her the truth?

"Listen, Mrs Sol, it doesn't matter whether you call or not

"because no one's going to come and get you".

What's the point of that? At least I keep her hopes up

and if I make a few euros out of it, everyone's a winner.

You are just shameless, Miguel.

Tell me, what's wrong with Modesto?

Modesto? The long goodbye.

Modesto has Alzheimer's. He doesn't even know where he is.

If it wasn't for Dolores, who takes care of him,

they would've put him upstairs.

Dolores is a saint, she's devoted to Modesto.

In fact, that's why she's here in the residence,

because she's in perfect health.

That's just stupid!

It's wasting your life for nothing.

Modesto can't tell whether it's her or a cabbage next to him.

You're such a brute! Of course he can tell.

It might not look it, but he can tell.

You're talking rubbish. He doesn't know anything.

I think he knows. He can tell.

You see? Emilio agrees with me.

You're just a pair of sentimental old fools.

You are just bitter, Miguel. You just hate getting old.

Me? Bitter? Not at all!

I love being old.

You spend your whole life working like an animal

and when you can't be the grandchildren's nanny any more,

the dear family locks you up in here

and forgets about you. It's beautiful!

That's not true! Don't say that!

My family loves me!

I'm here because I don't want to be a burden!

It's the way things are!

Young people have to get on with their lives!

Antonia has three sons and two daughters, and something like 50 grandchildren,

but nobody ever comes to see her.

One of the grandsons comes now and then.

The tea's gone cold.

So you have grandchildren?

Me? Not at all.

Sorry, I thought you said...

That was just a manner of speaking.

I never married and I never had children, at least as far as I know,

and I don't regret it.

I've always done what I wanted, without ties.

And now the only difference is that I don't spend my days crying

because the children don't come to see me.

It's true.

You spend your whole life working and then...

Yeah, life sucks and then you die.

The tea's gone cold.

All right, I have to go do a couple of things.

Do you want to come, Rockefeller? Come on! You'll meet some people.

- Good morning, Mrs Rosario. - Good morning.

Are you also travelling to Istanbul?

No, Mrs Rosario, we are the conductors.

Ah, of course, please come in.

I'm going to Istanbul to join my husband there.

You're fortunate. Istanbul is a beautiful city.

- May I see your ticket, please? - Certainly.

I must have it here.

Here it is.

Very well. I'll return it once we cross the border.

Yes, of course.

Enjoy your journey, Mrs Rosario.

The Carpathians are lovely this time of year, aren't they?

She spends all day here looking out the window.

She thinks she's on the Orient-Express.

I play along, it makes her happy.

Come on, Rockefeller. If they see us in here, we'll get in trouble.

Xoán, come here.

Dad! Look what I found!

Get closer.

Xoán, look at Dad.

A bit further to the left.

No, to my left, to your right!

- Emilio, take the photo now. - Take the photo, Dad!

Show me the sea star.

Very well, that's perfect.

Maite!

Maite! Xoán!

Maite!

Maite!

Xoán!

Xoán! Maite!

Where are you?

Maite! Xoán! Maite!

Rise and shine! Today is Wednesday.

Yeah? What do we do today? Extra napping?

No, Rockefeller. On Wednesdays, we have gym.

What?

Gym?

I don't have my tracksuit here!

I know, you said.

I told you, you won't need it.

Gym here's stupid.

It's not what we get to do that's fun,

it's what we get to see.

What we get to see? I don't understand.

Don't worry, you'll understand.

Have you seen my wallet?

Your wallet? No, I haven't.

I left it here with my watch last night and now it's gone.

If you left it there, it's got to be there somewhere.

Maybe it's fallen between the bed and the table.

Let me see.

No, it's not here.

I don't know.

If it was there last night, it'll be somewhere around here.

But hurry up now, or you'll miss breakfast.

You'd better get dressed now and come for breakfast.

I'll help you look for it afterwards.

Great!

That's what I like to see!

Everybody awake and full of energy!

You get it now, Rockefeller, what we get to see?

We have to touch our knees with the opposite hand, okay?

Like this!

What? What did she say?

What do we have to do? Speak up!

What do we have to do?

We have to touch our knees...

Come here, my beauty!

Agustin has lost his hearing, but not his touch.

Okay, right. Let's move on to the next exercise.

We're going to do ball exercises.

You have to pass the ball to the person on the right.

What? I can't hear you!

Pass the ball to the person on the right!

What?

To the right! The person on the right!

- I can't hear you! - You have to pass the ball to...

A bit closer.

Pellicer, you explain it to him.

You have to pass the ball!

I hear you, don't shout!

You start, Antonia. We have to do it fast.

Let's beat last week's record, okay?

Ready?

Here, here!

Here, Esteban, take it! Here!

Is he blind?

Yes. A year ago, his glucose went through the roof.

Look!

Well done, Miss Ana!

Here, Esteban.

No, no, to the person on the right.

Eugenia! Are you all right?

It wasn't me, miss.

The ball! It's getting away!

- I have it - Watch out!

I'm okay, don't worry.

Here, Eugenia.

Okay, you go on, Dolores.

Wake up, Dolores, it's your turn!

Modesto, you're awake, you go on.

Agustin, quickly, you do it.

Pay more attention, Agustin!

- Here, Agustin. - Oops! How clumsy!

Never mind, I've got it!

Watch out, Pellicer!

Well done, Pellicer!

Awesome!

We've beaten the record by two whole minutes!

Well done, everybody!

Fantastic! Very well!

Wonderful!

Now the other way around. Pass the "abll" to the person on the left.

- You start, Emilio. - What? The what?

The "abll", Emilio, pass it to the left.

- The what? - The "abll", Emilio.

The "abll", Emilio, hurry! We have to break the record.

- The "abll", Rockefeller. - The "abll", the "abll"!

The "abll"! The "abll"!

Ball.

The ball.

The phone! The phone!

I have to call my sons! I have to call my sons!

What could've possessed that poor woman to go out in this weather?

In here, Rockefeller, you have to make things happen.

If you don't keep yourself busy, you lose your marbles.

Sometimes I've managed to make a queue of five.

You see the woman with the umbrella?

She's Carmiña.

She's never on her own. She thinks aliens are trying to get her.

Look at her go!

Nothing like a good paranoia

to keep you in shape, right, Rockefeller?

I don't think it's funny.

It's very cruel.

That doesn't matter in here, Rockefeller.

The only thing that matters here is not letting yourself sink.

It's not a fox terrier, but you like it, don't you?

Yes, it's lovely, thank you so much, Miguel.

Thank you, Martin.

Anything you need, just ask.

- I can't get up... - Up you go!

Come in, don't catch cold.

Thank you again, Miguel.

You're welcome. Merry Christmas, Martin.

Merry Christmas.

I thought dogs were not allowed in the residence.

And they aren't.

Martin keeps it in his room and takes it out for walks on weekends

when he goes to see his son.

What's he going to do when it grows up?

Martin's very absent-minded. It won't last that long.

I see.

With that beard, you look like Santa Claus.

Rockefeller, you say the same thing every day!

You're absent-minded, too.

But it's true! All you need is the hat.

Let's go, it's nearly lunchtime.

- Aren't you cold without a coat? - No... I'm fine.

You should also grow a beard. It would suit you.

Me? No, it doesn't look good on me.

White beards make young girls go crazy.

Rockefeller, you're going to catch bronchitis with your pyjamas open like that.

What?

No, I'm fine.

I never catch colds.

Yeah, me neither.

We're a couple of tough old boots, aren't we?

I've always done a lot of sport, especially swimming.

When I was young, I used to swim in the sea.

Later, when I worked in the bank, I used to go to the pool once a week.

Wow, really?

I should make the most of the pool here.

Maybe tomorrow I'll go ask for the key.

Yes, go for it, Rockefeller.

Although tomorrow it's going to be busy with Christmas visits.

Your son will come to see you, I guess?

I don't know and I don't care one way or another.

Don't worry.

Relatives are like turron. You don't see them for the whole year,

but you get them for Christmas.

And they both give you heartburn!

That's true. They also have that in common.

Good night, Rockefeller.

Good night.

My watch was here when I went to sleep and no one has come into the room.

Did it suddenly sprout legs and run away on its own?

I haven't touched your watch. It has to be somewhere.

Don't play innocent!

If I didn't take it, it must have been you!

Calm down, Emilio. I'll help you look for it, but don't start...

You think I'm stupid? You'll help me look for it?

You think I haven't seen you taking money and stealing?

Watch out with the finger and the accusations!

It's not my fault if your head's not working!

That's not true! Liar!

- You've stolen my watch! - Get off me!

Who the hell do you think you are?

Are you okay, Rockefeller? Are you hurt?

Give me back my watch, thief!

You know what?

Find your shitty watch on your own and fuck off!

You're not going to get away with this! I'm going to report you!

Yeah, go on! Report me, old fool!

I'm... I'm looking for my watch.

Listen to me, Rockefeller.

If you ever touch my things again, or if you ever tell anyone about this box,

I swear I'm going to beat the living shit out of you.

Is that clear?

Is that clear, Rockefeller?

Emilio, are you all right?

Are you all right, Emilio?

Are you all right, Emilio? You weren't at breakfast.

I was a bit tired and I slept in.

Are you sure you're okay? You're not dizzy or...

I'm fine, really. I just wanted to sleep a bit longer.

Okay, no problem.

- Here, I brought you your medication. - Thank you.

Emilio, you're not dressed yet?

Get dressed quickly, your family has come to see you!

- What? - Your family, they've come to see you.

Here, Granddad! Look at me!

- Why are you dressed like that? - Emi, turn the flash off.

- Emi, don't bother Granddad. - I'm not bothering him!

Look, you're wearing your jumper on top of your jacket.

Well, I'm more comfortable like this.

I don't have to work any more, so...

Have you seen my new camera? It's 10 megapixels.

Show it to him later, okay? We're talking just now.

- Go and take some more pictures. - Okay.

- I'll show it to you later, okay, Granddad? - Okay, sure.

Tell me, why is this boy calling me Granddad?

He's my son Emi, your grandson. Don't you remember him?

Well, yes, of course.

I just don't pay attention to these things.

- I told you to turn the flash off! - I can't do it!

Give me the camera one second, Emi.

- Are you all right, Dad? - Yes, I'm fine.

Strong lights bother me a bit lately.

I think it must be the cataracts getting worse.

Dad, are you happy here? Are they treating you well?

Well, it's not bad.

The nurses are very nice.

And the food is good, it's like eating in a restaurant.

And we do gym every week.

Really? You're going to get in shape!

We even have a swimming pool, you know?

I know, it's one of the reasons why we chose this place,

because you like swimming so much.

Now with the cold I don't feel like it, but in the spring I'll start swimming.

...all these articles mention my amazing feat.

Look at this one here.

Merry Christmas, Granddad! Merry Christmas, Granddad!

Merry Christmas, Granddad!

They can't move me, and I can't sleep with Felix's snoring.

It's like a chainsaw...

Grandma has some things for you.

I've been keeping them for you.

Ketchup, a very nice tea they give us here,

a delicious jam, soap from the casino...

What do I want all that for?

Take it before they catch us!

Hey, guys! I come bearing gifts!

You look so cute, Juanjo!

With you all out of your places, it's a real mess.

- Dolores and Modesto. - Thank you.

Emilio, you've got long arms, take yours.

I knew being tall would come in handy one day.

Hold on, Emilio!

You, too, Dolores! I've got mixed up.

Give me Modesto's pills.

I've given Modesto your pills and you his pills.

Although it doesn't really matter,

because Modesto and you have almost the same medication.

Yes, basically you have the same medication as Modesto.

But it has to be a mistake.

Modesto has Alzheimer's.

Well, Alzheimer's does not have a specific treatment.

All these medicines are frequently prescribed for elderly patients.

Of course! How silly of me! I hadn't thought of that.

I was awake all night thinking I had Alzheimer's.

Sure, sure, it's only natural.

Don't worry about these things, Emilio.

I do the worrying for you, that's my job.

It's just that one starts imagining things and...

It's a relief to know there's nothing wrong with me.

Who's the young woman upstairs?

You know who I mean. The paraplegic.

You went upstairs, Rockefeller.

Who's the young woman?

Why is she here?

She's the squatter.

Son of a bitch! Motherfucker!

The building she was squatting in collapsed and she was left paraplegic.

She's got no family, so they brought her here.

She's lying there like a thing.

They're all left there like junk in the attic.

Nothing to eat here, no. There's nothing to eat...

...it's got to change, it's got to change...

Yeah, I told you it was better not to go up.

Miguel,

I have Alzheimer's.

They've told you?

They don't dare tell me,

but I'm not stupid.

- You already knew? - I've been here more than two years.

You learn quickly about these things.

My room-mate before you, Paco,

he had Alzheimer's, too.

He was a good guy, Paco.

He died?

Not that I know.

They took him upstairs.

I guess he's still up there.

I don't want to end like that.

Look, Emilio, don't worry too much.

With Alzheimer's, you can go on for years without getting worse.

But if things begin to go bad...

You know...

The pills you found...

I keep them for myself,

just in case.

In case things turn bad.

But I can always get more.

No.

I don't think that's right.

You don't think anything's right, Rockefeller.

But here, that cheap morality is not going to help you.

You only have two options here.

You can keep lying to yourself, thinking everything's all right,

that you're on the Orient-Express,

that in spring, you'll start swimming in the pool,

until you end up up there with the all the others.

Or you can face up to reality.

What the hell...

Rockefeller, get out of there! Don't do anything crazy!

Do you hear me? Get out!

What do you think you're doing?

Crap!

What are you doing?

Come on, get out of here!

No! I've had it with all this nonsense!

I'm not dead yet, you know.

Maybe in a year I won't know who I am, but I'm still alive now.

And this is a swimming pool, and I want to swim.

And if you don't like it, that's just too bad!

Is that what you're doing? You're swimming?

Of course I'm swimming. What else would I be doing here?

But you can't swim like that.

You have to take off your clothes before you swim.

You're not one to criticise, you're even wearing your coat.

Rockefeller.

We'll be all right, you'll see.

We are not going to end up upstairs.

Let me do it.

It's important to dress properly, especially today.

The doctor and the nurses can tell

how your head's working by the way you dress.

Like that woman who's always plastered in make-up.

That's right, like Mrs Josefa.

When you see what she's wearing in the morning,

you can see if her neurons are misfiring or not.

There. Tuck your shirt in.

Which tie do you want, the red one or the usual?

The usual's all right.

Don't you want the red one? It's smarter.

No, the usual. I don't really like the red one.

I don't know why I keep it. I guess it has sentimental value.

This damned knot! I never get it even!

It's no work of art,

but it'll do.

Miguel, thank you.

Right. Let's see the cuffs.

No, we leave the left one undone so you can read the answers.

Remember you've got them there.

Yes. Sure, sure.

They always ask the same questions. We shouldn't have any trouble.

Remember to keep your palm face down so they don't see it, all right?

You're not nervous, are you?

Who, me? No.

Although it's the first time I'll cheat on a test.

Don't worry, Rockefeller. I'm an expert.

Here, put your arms through.

I'm going to be close by. So don't worry.

But how will you manage to be in the doctor's office with me?

The doctor's office?

It will be out of order due to "technical problems".

No.

We'll have to call a locksmith.

Someone's stuck chewing gum in the lock.

Good grief!

Okay, Emilio, we'll do the test here while my door's getting fixed.

Although we can postpone it if it's too noisy here.

No, no. I don't mind.

All right.

Just let me open the programme.

Okay, Emilio, tell me about your dinner last night.

Dinner? You want me to talk about dinner?

Yes, like... What did you have?

Okay...

Let's see, I ate...

The first course...

We had...

Whatever you remember about last night's dinner.

Dinner! Dinner!

Ramón, we are busy.

- Busy! Busy! - Please, Ramón.

Busy! Busy!

Busy! Busy!

Ramón, that's enough!

"Busy! Busy! - Shut up!

Please, Ramón, be quiet! Emilio...

Emilio, are you all right?

- Is that arm bothering you? - No, no.

Don't distract Emilio. We're doing something important.

Let's see, Emilio,

let's start over.

Tell me about last night's dinner.

Yes, dinner.

Well...

I don't pay much attention to these things.

It's always the same food, so...

That's true. You don't get a lot of variety.

Never mind, next question.

I've really cut myself with that bloody alarm!

I should sue them, shouldn't I, Rockefeller?

I didn't do Well, did I?

What are you talking about? It was perfect.

Tomorrow, I'll keep the doctor busy

with some headaches and a few back pains

and he won't remember you until next year.

Don't worry, Rockefeller. Everything's under control.

Miguel...

Martin! How are you?

How's Laika doing? Still chewing your slippers?

What? So soon?

If you could get me another one...

Sure, don't worry.

I can get you another.

Maybe this time, I'll find a fox terrier.

Old age is something natural. It is not a national crisis.

We don't want to burden our families,

or they wouldn't be able to work.

But don't call us old codgers. We are not empty shells.

We prefer "senior citizens".

And that's as far as I've got.

I can't think of anything that rhymes with "citizens".

How about...

"We prefer 'senior citizens' because we can't stop trembling."

Miguel! You're always the same!

Or even better...

"We prefer 'senior citizens', we only live for our ailments."

This is useless! Waitress! Waitress!

- Emilio, what's wrong? - This knife doesn't cut!

- What do you want, Emilio? - This thing...

Emilio and I were wondering

if we could just have sandwiches from now on.

- Sandwiches? - Yeah, sandwiches!

You know what I mean? Nice juicy sandwiches!

I don't know, I guess.

You want sandwiches, too, Emilio?

Eh... Yes, me, too.

Well, it's up to you. I'll let them know.

But don't come and complain afterwards.

Thanks, gorgeous!

You look more beautiful each day!

Emilio, why don't you use that other knife?

The one next to the plate.

I'm sure that one's sharper.

Why do they put so many... So many of these things?

What are they trying to do? Confuse us?

You're right, Rockefeller.

From now on, some nice sandwiches and no more problems.

Eh, Rockefeller?

It's not a bad idea, Emilio.

If it wasn't for my dentures, I'd join you.

That's right, eh, Emilio?

Here... It's dripping.

We need to clean it.

What do you say to make him smile?

Who, me? To Modesto?

Yes, what is it you say that makes him smile?

It's just something silly. I just say "cheat".

Cheat? Why do you say that?

It's something from our childhood.

Imagine, a long time ago.

We must have been 12 or 13.

Loli! Wanna be my girlfriend?

- What? - You heard me.

Do you want to be my girlfriend?

Modesto loves Loli!

Modesto loves Loli!

Stop it!

Okay, I'll be your girlfriend, but first you must bring me a cloud.

Why are you just standing there, Modesto?

Go find a cloud for Loli!

Boy! Watch where you're going!

Sorry!

Loli!

Loli! Hurry, come with me!

Modesto, we are not allowed in the bell tower!

Modesto! Don't be crazy, you'll fall!

Don't be afraid. I've done it lots of times!

Don't be a chicken!

Give me your hand.

Careful. Don't look down.

Hold tight, Loli.

There it is.

You wanted a cloud and I got you one.

So now you are my girlfriend, right?

You're a cheat!

Haven't you heard?

Modesto was getting worse and Dolores couldn't cope.

They took them upstairs this morning.

Dolores has gone up as well?

That's madness!

It's suicide!

In a couple of weeks, she'll be as crazy as the rest of them!

You don't understand because you've never loved anyone.

This is shit.

Life's just shit.

What are you doing, Rockefeller?

Rockefeller, what are you doing?

I'm going home! I'm fed up with you stealing my things!

What? What have I stolen now?

Sure, just play dumb.

You've stolen my black socks.

Your black socks?

Let go of me! I'm going home to my wife!

I've had it with this place!

Quiet, Emilio! They'll hear you.

I don't care if they hear me! I'm going home!

Shit! A nurse!

Shut up, Emilio, they'll send you upstairs!

Good morning, Sastre! How are you?

Nice day, isn't it?

Nothing like some exercise first thing in the morning!

Wave, Rockefeller, wave.

Let go!

Look, Manuel, I'm not saying it's you,

but someone's stealing my things!

I'm going home.

And I don't understand why you want to stay here.

You'd also be better off at home.

Trust me.

This way!

Wait!

- Quiet! - Don't walk so fast.

My walker doesn't go well in the grass.

- Antonia, lower your voice! - Wait for me then.

I told you to bring your walking stick instead of that thing.

Don't be stupid!

I could fall and break my hip in this darkness!

This is what I get for bothering to say goodbye.

Like I was going to stay here on my own

while you two go out and have a good time.

Okay, let's move quickly, we're late.

And be quiet.

Zurdo! You just gave me a heart attack!

Keep it down! This way.

Come on, get moving.

That's better, Zurdo, we're getting old, you know?

- Watch your head, Emilio! - A bit late for that.

Antonia, don't get tangled on that wire.

Shine it on the path, Zurdo!

- Thanks, son. - You're welcome, ma'am.

Watch that, it's nettles.

Shit, Zurdo. I said red!

Come on, Miguel.

With no warning like this, you're lucky I found a convertible.

And it's brand new and goes like a son of a bitch.

Has it got papers and a full tank?

Yeah, it's filled up.

I guess the colour doesn't matter, although red would've been better.

There you go, Zurdo.

Maybe there's a few euros missing, but I'm broke, don't ask for more.

All right!

Here, the papers are in the glove compartment.

You drive, Emilio.

They revoked my license years ago!

At least you had one.

Because you don't happen to drive, do you, Antonia?

Me? Not at all. You don't drive, Miguel?

No, can you believe it? I never got around to it.

So that leaves you, Rockefeller.

And anyway, you look like a good driver.

Oh, my God, Emilio!

Freedom!

We're free!

What have you done? You've thrown my walker away!

You don't need it any more! We've got wheels now!

But at some point we'll have to get out, won't we?

Don't worry about that,

I'll get you another walker whenever you need it.

Miguel, I'm freezing, put the roof up.

The roof? Are you kidding?

I'm going to end up with pneumonia.

I'm also getting cold, to be honest.

I can't believe it. What a pair...

-it goes up on its own? - Cutting-edge technology!

It's like something out of James Bond!

That's better.

Stop at the next petrol station. I need some water for my pills.

What are you talking about? We said no pills.

We're not going to be slaves to old age.

I've only brought the constipation and blood pressure pills.

No stomach pills, blood-sugar level or arthritis pills!

Look at that! What a maniac!

Rockefeller, which side are you driving on?

Aren't we on the wrong side?

I'm not sure. I'll go check.

Or even worse, you could've caused a crash!

And we've been lucky the press hasn't picked up on it,

because for something like this, they could close us down.

I don't think you understand the seriousness of the situation

and the legal implications.

Are you listening?

How's Emilio doing? Is he all right?

He is where he needs to be, receiving appropriate care.

Don't even think of going upstairs to cause more trouble!

But is he getting better?

Emilio was unconscious for a long time.

Then, with the anaesthetic and the hospital...

All these things affect people with Alzheimer's a lot.

From now on, Emilio's going to need round-the-clock care.

So don't cause any more problems.

I'm serious, Miguel.

Any complaint, and I'll get you transferred to another home...

Miguel, aren't you eating?

Do you want something else?

Come in.

May I?

Yes, of course. Come in.

Are you also going to Istanbul?

Yes, I'm also going to Istanbul.

Wonderful, we can keep each other company

until the end of the journey.

Sure! I don't like to travel on my own.

Oops! Watch out!

That's better.

You were hungry today, eh? You've polished the whole lot off!

Let's tidy up a bit.

Miguel! Turn this fucking straw around!

Mind your language, Twiggy!

One of these days, I'm going to wash your mouth out with soap.

You know Emilio doesn't like it when you swear like that.

Emilio doesn't care. He's completely gone.

That's not true, Twiggy!

Even though he doesn't look it, he's still there.

Isn't that right, Rockefeller?

Don't be so noisy, Milou. You know you can't go in the shop.

Sit! Sit, Milou!

Sit!

Good dog, Milou!

Milou! Milou!

My God, no!

Milou!

Milou!

You gave me such a fright, Milou! Come on in.

And don't be so absent-minded!
