Careful...

- How are you?
- Fine.

Everything turned out fine.

It's the last time, Florencia.
I can't take it anymore.

My body can't handle this
any longer.

They won't even let me
go up with you.

I'm alone, in the midst of nowhere,
imagining the worst!

And you just don't get it...

I know, this isn't the best moment...

- Was it enough?
- It went up. There's no change.

Some business!

- What? Does it hurt?
- A little bit.

- Can we go now?
- Yes.

- Feeling better?
- Sort of...

It hurts more than ever.

I should rest.

For a week at the very least.
Remember last time.

Thanks Mommy.

It's no use for you
to have a mother.

It's no use for me
to have a daughter like this.

It's over, Florencia.

Don't count on me any longer.

Or my money, since
that's all I am to you now.

- You're so goddamn difficult...
- As if I had any to spare!

When I die, then you might understand.

I might die first.

- Coming up?
- No.

"Princess: I can't go
pick you up this year...

because I had to go to Cordoba."

"There's these parties..."
Listen!

"There's these parties
and I'm the DJ."

"I'll bring you over soon
so you can dance all night."

"After Cordoba, I'll be going
to Jujuy and then to Misiones."

"But before having any drinks,
I owe you the sea."

Got that? He owes me the sea!

"Happy Daughter's Day,
which I've just invented."

"Special greetings for my Flor.
Daddy."

"There are no moral
phenomena at all,

but only a moral
interpretation of phenomena."

Wake up, it's four o'clock!
Here's your tea.

How much sugar?

One.

Thanks, sweetheart.

Can I examine you?

Does it hurt?

Do you feel any change?

Has one grown
more than the other lately?

No, you needn't worry,
there's no cancer.

I want Grandma to come!
Why did she stop coming?

Because we had a fight.

When you grow up you'll probably
have a fight with me too.

She wouldn't give us any
money for the gas bill?

No, she wouldn't.

Why did she cut off our allowance?
You only have 3 pesos left!

Because Mom has no job.

And I'm not getting one either.
I don't like working.

She doesn't like being a granny.
Makes her feel old.

- And Mommy's pregnant again.
- Again?

And Grandma means to pay
for another abortion, right?

Yes, but I don't want one.

And I'm not afraid of what
she says might happen to me.

I'm having a sister!

It might be a brother.
I sense it'll be a boy.

- From whom? Guy with the beard?
- Aw, I don't know...

It may be that guy from a couple of months
ago. I can't even remember his name.

Or maybe Santiago.

Or the drunk neighbor upstairs
who lent us money.

I don't know.

Aw! It's too hot!

Too hot!

I've a birthday party next week. Octavio's,
that slob who's always winking at me.

- Great! A birthday party!
- Yes.

Alma said I never get invited
because I don't give presents.

I'm tired of explaining

that presents
are a capitalist invention

to make people spend
the money they don't have.

My schoolmates
only want their presents.

And what am I going
to give Octavio? A drawing?

A drawing, or write him
a story or a poem.

"Hello, Euge's Mommy."

"I noticed you haven't signed
a single notification."

"Eugenia is always late
and she's absent all too often."

"Please contact us as soon as possible."
"Thanks, Miss Paula."

- You haven't told me about the exam yet.
- It wasn't today.

Mom, the teacher
wants to talk with you.

Why? What happened?

Ok, forget it, I'll go...

- Who's that?
- Olguita...

No power yet?

Problem is my debt is huge
and I have no money.

You can shower in my place
until you get the gas back.

- It's cold.
- Thanks.

You know what I wanted
to ask of you, dear?

A bit of that
accelerating dust...

that your friend let me try.

That's no accelerator, well, actually it
is. But I'd rather you didn't take it.

How much do you need for the girl?

Here, 12 pesos.

I just want a wee bit!

I know you have some!

How was it called? I've been
looking for it in drugstores.

I tried baking soda, right?
But it wasn't the same.

He said it was called
"atom fluid".

It's cocaine, Olga.

I don't care! Give me some!

I know it's here. It...
It was around here.

No... you took all that?

Eugenia.

- Eugenia, are you okay?
- Yes! Why, Mommy?

Look at me, look at me.
Do you feel okay?

Look at me.

- What's up, Mom?
- There was some powder in this bag here!

I thought it was sweetener!

I'll kill you!

Eugenia, did you take that?

- Did you?
- No, I didn't like it!

- Don't lie to me!
- No!

Did you see what I did?

Don't ever forget it.

Very symbolic
and hardly believable.

Why don't you believe in me?

Why are you always so discouraging?

Don't you see I need you to believe in me?
Can't you see it's important for me?

Your answers upset me.

I can, I can, I can!

I can, be better off!
I can, I can, I can!

It's not symbolic!

Don't just repeat words you overhear
but don't understand! Don't!

Duckling out of water!

Here, put this on.

What a nice little back!

Baby?

You know what, sweetie? >

I'd really love it
if you'd call me grandma.

Or aunt. Would you, cutie?

I won't. You're my friend
and I like that better.

Listen up, Olguita.

I want to get some kind of job.

How should I go about it?

No, my love!
What are you talking about?

You're too small!

Your mom is the one
that has to work.

Don't you think so?

I don't know. Why?

It's not her fault if she's older.

Oh, God.

You miss your children?

It's been months

without being able
to be near them,

to touch them.

It feels like an eternity.

I hope I can go see them soon.

Don't go!

Well, you'd better start
spending all those savings.

What are you saving for?

What if you get hit by a car?

- What good is money then?
- It's not as much as you think, sweetie!

I'm saving so that at least I can
get a one way ticket

but it's not enough yet.

Put this on.

I don't want to have
to turn to my sons.

You see, the only thing
I could give them

was their European citizenship.

That's the only reason
they're proud I'm their mom

and not somebody else.

Your husband's good man.

He died but he keeps giving
you money as before.

It's only fair.

I get a small pension
for all the money he paid.

You can't even imagine.

I've been a housewife
all my life.

I can't do anything else.

And I wouldn't want to either.

- What does that mean?
- What?

The medicines.

- Those are to cure me.
- Why? Are you ill?

I'm not ill, love!
I do take care of myself!

Look, this is Valium.
It helps me relax.

This is Trapax,
so I won't be depressed.

This one is to combat
premenstrual pain.

- It's old, I don't menstruate now.
- Menstruate?

I take this one
when I have diarrhea.

This one, when I'm constipated.
That means no diarrhea.

Alplax. I ignore what it's for,
but I take it anyhow.

This is Ribotril.

I adore it, my savior.

This one is nothing, Ponstil.

And this one, frankly...
I never knew what it's for

but it makes me laugh
every time I take it!

Wake up, Mom!

You promised!

Come on!

What? Don't tell me
we're late again!

Sofi!

Here she comes, Mom!

- Hi, Sofi.
- We're late, I know.

But please let us in.
It'll be the last time.

Is it late?

Where do live, Florencia?

See the sign?
Don't you read the paper?

No, I don't. Why should I?

And you don't know when the National
Holiday is? Today is May 25th!

Our national day?

Here, sweetheart.

Thanks.

You should read it

for her education at least,
if you care, don't you think?

As much as I do care, I can't.

If I had the paper
I'd use it as toilet tissue.

We've no money to buy
the paper, or aprons

or new books that are just like
the old ones or gym uniforms!

Is it wrong not to have?

- The teacher wanted to talk to me?
- We all did. Even the Headmistress.

Hi, Tomacito. I'll tell you
something very important

that you urgently need to know.

Your being a cat is moral.

And it's circumstantial
that you're an animal.

Let's say that
your phenomenon exists,

but you could be like me
and I could be like you, right?

It's hard to believe
you were our best student.

So is Eugenia.

She's an excellent student
but she's not consistent.

She's absent too often,
always late and badly dressed!

She says things the other
children don't know,

things their parents
don't want them to know!

- I might stop bringing her.
- Don't be unfair.

What kind of justice is that?

Mom, wait for me!

Flor, are the teachers still on strike?

Where do you live, Celina?

- Come on, lend me your purse!
- Why?

Look, Eugenia, when I was your age
I used to wish I was an adult.

Now I would die to be
infinitely young again.

You're young and I'm an adult.
I just have two things to do before I die.

Why are you thinking
about dying again?

I will die, won't I? And you will too.
Unless we reach immortality,

which I believe to be boring,
if only as an idea.

Imagine eternity with no gas
no power, without a cent.

Getting advice from idiots
who think they have it all.

What I can't imagine is
my soon-to-be sister's face.

And what is it you need.

Firstly, to see the sea.

You've seen it already! Remember that
movie where the Chinese drowned?

That was the sea.
It's like what you saw on TV,

like those pictures of me
with sand up to my knees.

That's all there is to it.
You've seen it already.

Eugenia, all you want to know
about the world is in books.

Go to any library and it's there
written beside the pictures.

Traveling is an invention of...
the airlines.

- Who have to, what?
- Sell.

And people go places they know
nothing about and it's as if...

- As if they hadn't even gone.
- See what I mean?

All I see is what it is
that you want me to see.

We'll go soon enough. I promise.

Stop lying!
We'll never go anywhere!

Tell me the truth!
I know we can't possibly go!

You know who I'll be going with in
a few years if I don't die first?

- Who?
- My dad, if he doesn't die.

We'll go to parties
and have some drinks.

The other thing I want
is to meet my other granny.

Come here, Euge, my love.

The best thing for you
is not to meet her.

She's just like you,
a great woman.

But long-suffering,
hardened by a sordid life.

She's lost almost everything.
Your dad hardly sees her.

She was so terrified of losing you,
she didn't want to meet you.

It makes sense.
She's just like us.

Thieves! Conspirers!
This is dirty business!

This wouldn't happen if I were somebody
else. I've never stolen anything!

Shameless! That's what you are!

No, no, no, not the TV!

Hey, not that! Leave it, please, no!
It belongs to my son!

Lola, here. Take the keys>
to our house in La Mar.

Hypocrites!

It's a quiet town. At least you're
going to have a place to sleep.

Tomas! Tomas!

Get him here, bring him to me.

Poor thing, my love!

- Leave him with me until you find a place.
- No! Are you insane?

I've stuck you
with my birds already!

Tomas! I'll be taking
Tomas to my grave!

My love, poor thing.

They're taking everything!
Thieves!

Madman, what are you doing?

The bell wasn't ringing.

I thought you wouldn't open.

I've no power!
The bell doesn't work! Fix that door!

I don't know anything about doors or
carpentry! I left something here.

Too late.

Next time don't leave it
where my daughter can find it.

You know what I went through
when I couldn't find it?

- Fucking brat! What happened?
- I dumped it.

You can't do this to me.

And you don't even have a PC
or a TV set to take! Fuck you!

What am I going to do now?

My dad will kill me! I owe two months
at the university! I was paying with this!

It was all sold!
What will I give them now?

- What?
- I don't know.

Don't stare at me, you nut!

Can't you see the state I'm in?

Do you have any?

I can see your dick.

Don't worry about it.
I've seen lots of dicks.

I'm tired of them!

- It must be a pain to have that hanging there.
- What time is it, brat?

Three o'clock.

Brat, what's wrong?

I had an exam at the university
this morning!

As you can see, I didn't go.

And you? What are you doing?

Taking the phone apart.

- What for?
- Let me explain.

If something works,
it could stop working.

So the best thing to do
is to know how it works.

Once you know how it works,
the mechanism, when it stops working,

you know everything
and you can fix it.

That's human life on Earth.

They don't fix anything
because they know nothing.

- How long does it take you to put it together?
- Few minutes.

- There's no tone.
- Our line's been cut, silly!

I can't fix that.

Yet.

- But does this phone work?
- Yes.

- And the fridge?
- Yes. The fridge,

but we have no power
because we can't pay.

- So I can take them?
- Yes, we don't use them.

It's all yours.

Today's my birthday!

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

You let him take everything?
I can't leave you alone for one minute.

I can't believe it.

To your room. And no crying!
You're old enough already!

I'm sick of you!

What do you know about my age
if you don't even know I turn 9 today!

Today's the 11th?

I'm a disaster! I'm so sorry!

You know I never know
what day it is.

You've been alone all day?

Why didn't you wake me up?
Look how pretty you are!

I have a present for you.

Come here!

Here, kitty!

Hello, Tomacito!

That's not Tomacito!

Forgive me.

It feels like a funeral.

It's my funeral.

But it's my birthday too.

I'm starting all over.

I'm happy.

My legs start trembling
every time I come here.

But it's worse now, because
it might be my last pension.

Now I have enough to buy
a one-way ticket.

Next.

- Collecting both pensions?
- Yes, Olga Rafo's and Raul Rafo's.

Here it says Eugenia Nieves has to
collect them. The granddaughter.

Yes, it's her.

But she's still a child.
I'm her guardian.

- Delia Ramos Ponce.
- Your ID, please.

- Bye, Martita.
- Bye, Olguita. Good luck.

What are you up to, Olga?

I feel great! I passed for dead!
It's great!

And that ID?

I pinched it this morning.
I'll call the lady later.

Ms Delia Ramos Ponce!
I've found your ID!

Martita was right.

My pension is 150 pesos.
If I die

my children will collect
a pension of 300 pesos.

I don't mind being dead
If I can get on better like that.

No more taxes to pay!

No more Treasury Department!
No more anything!

You know what?

With that 300 pesos

I collected from
my husband's pension,

plus the 1,500 pesos I managed to save
thanks to him all these years,

plus the 300 pesos
I've just collected

from my first pension
as a dead woman,

I have enough.

I have enough to go to Rome

and give my son
a hell of a surprise!

Then I'll see how I manage
to make it to Spain

to see my daughter.

And then I'll see
how on Earth I get back here!

Sweetheart...

I will meet my grandchildren.

How exciting!

What's going on with me?

What's happening to me?

Though I have reasons enough
I'm not complaining.

Life has turned me into a woman.

And somebody has to do it.

Though I have money to spare
I will spoil myself.

I was born to be kept.

And I don't like
to exert myself.

I was born to be kept
and dreamless.

What's going on with me?

What's going on with me?

What's going on with me?

I was born to be kept.

And I don't like
to exert myself.

I was born to be kept
and dreamless.

I was born to be kept.

And I don't like
to exert myself.

I was born to be kept
and dreamless.

What's going on with me?

"Daddy: I'm going
to have a sister,

so I'll be a grandma soon.

I didn't want to.
I hope she's never born."

Ever. How does that sound?

BABY SITTER WANTED

Look, Eugenia,

I need someone who knows
about household chores.

Someone who can freeze food,
use the microwave,

unclog the sink,
talk to the gardener,

look after the girls.

I can look after them.
I'm better than them at school.

I can keep a house.
I can do it after school.

Did you hear that, Camila?
Eugenia helps her mom.

I'm Lucila! Her mom is just like you,
good for nothing!

Shut up or you'll get it!

That's not true.

Your mom had better marks
than me in high school.

- She was brilliant.
- My mom "is" brilliant.

What about her?

Why doesn't she come
to work as a housemaid?

About the sheets.

Sheets, as I've already told you
are changed every day.

And you must iron them
so they're soft enough.

Regarding towels.

Towels are changed every
morning, afternoon and night

after each of my baths.

Soap.
Soap must be thrown away every day.

It's disgusting when it's used.
Here, you can keep this.

The soap dish is not put here.

It goes here.

It must be functional, ergonomic.
Example:

I wash my hands.

I wash my hands.

If I have to put the soap here,
it's uncomfortable.

It must come naturally.
It goes here, see?

That's the difference.

These few inches
make a huge difference.

Take this off.

What else?

Let's go to the girls' room.

Could you please slow down?

No, I like speed.

You like it too, don't you?

The house was auctioned
overnight?

Or you never told me
it would be auctioned?

What is it?

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

- It's nothing, dear.
- You're lying as usual.

I've never managed
to get you to work,

never in the 27 years of your life!

And now you're saying that had I
told you that we'd lose everything

there would've been
a sudden change in your life.

Do you really think
you would've changed?

Give me a break!

I don't expect anything
from men anymore.

I am not a man, Mom,
I'm your son!

And I work,
but I don't earn money.

I said no, Ernesto!

Your only hope are
those love handles of yours!

I won't spend less!

Give a break!

I know there's people starving out there!
I don't live in a bubble!

But I don't eat and I'm not dead.

Florencia!

I'd die if Fernando
didn't fix up my face and my hair,

without my massage session,
my acupuncture.

These are my essentials!

Don't reduce my problems!
Reduce your fat!

Asshole!

What do you need to be happy?

You.

I need vacations.

You've been on vacation
ever since you were born.

Now I've decided
to live on vacation.

How could I try to fit in
when I always know

that I will fail?

Oh please!

I've been thinking.

Success brings
success and money,

money brings money and friends,

and failure brings debt,
loneliness and more failure.

Failure, failure!

I've decided to be happy in failure.

Stop poisoning me!

Can't you lie to your mother
at least once?

For a while?

Tell me you'll get a job,
a decent job.

God, I'm so miserable!

You're all I have.

God, what a sweetie!

That's the last house.

It must be this one.
Susana never said it was like this!

- How dreadful!
- It's perfect.

It's pathetic, just like us.

- I feel this horrible guilt.
- You were brought up to feel guilty.

When I was your age
I'd go to school,

take private English lessons.

I'd get birthday presents from friends
of your grandparents I didn't even know.

- I'd have vacations in winter and summer.
- Where?

Bariloche, Pinamar.

- We'd spend the weekends in our country house.
- The one they've lost?

I used to think I'd be a doctor by now
but I'm just a patient.

I decided to be good for nothing

and I'm proud of that.
But I feel like an idiot

because I'm not good at that either.

I don't like anything.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

- I'm waiting.
- For what?

I don't know.

And I'm bored.

Do you want me to lie to you?
They lied to me.

And here we are.

Florchi?

It's been ages since
I last called you Florchi!

How long has it been since
we spend time together?

Since those times
we used to meet after school?

Long enough for us
to become different.

I'm so happy to have you
as a friend.

I'm so bored.

I don't see anybody anymore.

Odd, isn't it? We were the only ones
to have children.

It seems it's fashionable
not to have kids till you're 35.

You know how old I feel
being a mother?

That made us grow apart. Both pregnant,
I was getting married and you were single!

It was hard for me
that you didn't care.

It was worse for me to see
you cared so much about it.

Your wedding, your baby, your party,
your family and Ernesto's,

a man I always considered
a nerd, an asshole.

Come here.

Come! Sit down!

And at that time

I didn't even realize I was pregnant.
It took me four months to find out.

The doctor told me on the day of
your wedding. That's why I didn't go.

You could never forgive me.

I know that. But my mom was crying
at the doctor's,

begging him to
perform an abortion

so I could be a teenager
a little while longer.

My penitence lasted
all through my pregnancy.

Locked in like a criminal
for bringing a child into the world.

I don't know
if you could understand it.

- It wasn't easy for me.
- I do understand, Florchi.

Mom forgave me only when Eugenia
went to live with her. I guess.

- I don't know.
- Perla can do your legs.

Do you want her to do it for you?

I'm hairy. I don't like to deceive.
I don't do my legs.

Hello, daughter!

Hi, my love.

You didn't go to work!
You let me down!

You're the worst mother
in the whole world!

I don't like working.

It was hard enough
to go there for about a month.

You go, fucking brat!
Let me alone for once in your life!

Drop dead, Mom! But do it now!

Drop dead now!

Eugenia!

My children are doing fine.
They don't need me at all.

You know the first thing
my son did when I got there?

He went to buy my return ticket.

What took me 8 years to save
he earns in a week.

And my daughter
didn't let me go to Spain.

She came to me.

She was afraid
I'd stay there with her.

But not me, kept by my children?

Never.

That's why I came back so soon.
I missed you.

So you live here now.

For a while,
until I can rent something.

Mom was just unbearable.

You could share with me
some of that "atom fluid".

Whenever you want.
I've got the best.

- You're the father of the baby.
- In your dreams, old lady!

Celina!

What? I'm Celina,
Florchi's best friend.

What? First time you see
a battered wife?

It was my fault.
I threw a bottle on his back first!

My fucking fag husband cheating on me
with his partner in my own house!

I'm staying here tonight.

Actually, Ernesto and I
broke up a long time ago,

but I’m good for nothing

and I couldn't keep up
my lifestyle if I got divorced.

But who cares, right?
It's over with him.

I left the girls with my mom
because I can't stand them right now.

Have you ever felt like this?
I've suddenly lost my patience.

And to top it all off, it's like seeing
Ernesto's faggy face twice.

I have twins, two girls.
They're twins.

Lovely girls.

Sara!

- Grandma!
- What a surprise!

Hello, honey!

How are you? It's been so long.

I'm fine. Coming along.

What does that mean?

What did we agree to?
What about our deal?

Pregnant again?
When did you get pregnant again?

You didn't do it!
You ripped me off!

This is outrageous!

- Madam?
- I'm not keeping another child of yours!

Excuse me, madam.
I don't know you

but that's not the way
we treat each other here.

- Mom works now!
- She works with me.

- You sell drugs?
- Don't get it wrong. That'd be me.

What do you do?
Get high together? What work?

Florencia is my employee.

Now you're working too?
What have you become, if I may ask.

I'm a housewife, mother of two girls
and future ex wife. Quite a bit, huh?

I don't get it.
What does she do for you?

- Stay away from me, please.
- I'm a part-time maid, 6 pesos an hour.

And that's your life project?

Is this a joke?

- Life project! Christ's sake!
- I'm feeling a bit faint.

I break my back working

so you can study and
have a future, not be a maid.

- We are like we are and we're happy.
- Oh, you're happy!

Happy!

Excuse me, but I left my home to
avoid hearing nonsense talking mothers.

I always remember
that expression of yours.

"Life project"

Whenever we went to her house,

she'd always ask
"What's your life project?"

But you'd never ask: "are you happy?"
"Feeling contented?"

"How's your life getting on?"
What's up, Sara?

What about the here and now?

Answer me.
What if there were no tomorrow?

If tomorrow your daughter and
granddaughter were not here anymore?

Did you ever wonder about that?

Florencia's never been happy
with your project for her life.

I can't believe
you keep insisting!

How do you think I am?

How? Like hell!

All you fucking shrinks have
turned me into a lifeless project!

What do you say, Sarita?
All right?

Flor told me your country house project
went to hell. I'm so sorry about that.

You think I'm some
useless shrink, don't you?

You think I don't care
seeing you like this?

- Like what?
- I'm sorry you have to live in these times.

There are no ideals, no beliefs.

There's not even a state of real rebellion,
just mass stupidity.

What's that bandage on your eye?
Don't go, Grandma!

Don't go!

I was a hippie, an activist,
I used to do acid.

- Oh, man you were something!
- We were experimenting.

We used to do therapy
with drugs.

We used to live messing around
but messing with no one.

That's all over now.
They stopped us.

But you, you're not making
any progress.

You're going backwards!
You're going backwards years and years!

Thanks for the compliment,
but you know what?

I can't go backwards,
even if I wanted to!

I'm old, but I'm with it!

- Hello, Daddy!
- I've been trying to get you.

- We've just got the line back today.
- I wanted to wish you a happy birthday.

- No, my birthday was months ago.
- I got a present for you.

- A present for me? Where?
- A house in La Mar.

- I'll go now!
- You must go to school.

- The school doesn't matter!
- You can come on your vacations.

- No, vacations are a long way off!
- I'll call you to make the arrangements.

- You'll call back?
- Bye! I love you, Daddy!

I'm going to the sea! Dad will call soon!
I'll meet my other granny!

- Enough!
- Mom!

- Go to bed!
- Grandma!

Go to bed!

You lied! You didn't tell me
I'll be a grandma again!

- I'm sorry! I called you!
- When?

I left a message.

Why don't you work
as a maid at home?

- Mom, I hate your irony.
- My irony?

Life is ironic with me!

You don't care about me
or about your family!

You're making a new family
with your neighbor and friends!

I would've made
another family too!

The one of my dreams,
not the disgrace I have!

Anything nicer to say?

- Isn't that Camila's nightgown?
- Yes!

Want to see everything
mom stole from you?

I would have done
the same thing in her place.

I don't know.

How can you be sure
this child is your daughter?

And if you are sure...

you've never behaved
like a father with her.

Why are you so sure?

Because this young lady...

She must have been with more
than one guy at the same time.

Please don't ask me

to feel any kind
of love or affection

any kind of family feeling
towards her.

She's nobody to me.

And for me someone who's not
my own blood is nobody.

Won't you come down, Mom?

Let's have a talk,
now that you're here.

I'm not talking with you
in front of everyone.

There's nobody there now.

It doesn't matter. Get in. Let's go
and have a drink. I'm paying.

I hate that you think
I'm a bitch, because I'm not.

I try to do the right thing,
but I fail.

I don't think you're a bitch,
but I'm not one either.

Not everything I do is related to you.
I wasn't born to screw your life up.

I didn't even choose to be born.
Did you ask me? No, you didn't.

Now I choose what I want
and take care of it.

I take care of it.
Your home, your daughter, your drugs,

your abortions. But if you say you
can handle it now, then fine.

But when I give something
I want something back.

At least some thanks,
some love, a phone call!

I want something back. It seems
I don't exist for you, I'm your enemy.

Don't start with it, Mom.
You make me tired.

I make you tired, right.
You're happy, I'm not.

I make you tired and you
don't make me tired. Perfect.

I've lived my life,
but I haven't lived for myself.

I've decided to stop working. I don't
want to have anything to do with anybody.

I want to live now. That's it.

The hole you've made in me
helped me see my own hole.

Are you going to analyze me?
Yes, I said "hole".

I can fuck because I still feel like it!
You thought I was dead?

You didn't even notice.

Don't you see I had
surgery on my cheekbones?

Now I have the cheekbones
I've always wanted.

You look awful.

Anyway, I want to tell you
you can count on me.

My money is yours. Don't worry about it.
I'll keep taking care of everything.

- You know what's sad?
- What?

The only thing you can give me
is money, money, money!

Money...

- What?
- My waters broke.

Your waters broke?
I didn't know you were due!

- Ok, easy now. We'll go to the clinic.
- You didn't pay the health insurance.

A public hospital? Never!

I won't take my daughter to a public
hospital! Let's go somewhere else.

Why didn't you pay it
or call me to pay it?

Mom, a hospital! Any hospital!
I think it's a couple of weeks early.

- Who are you calling?
- Your dad, your sister, your grandmother, anyone!

- The boy! Give me his number!
- He wants to tape the delivery, right?

Does he have a camera?
I'll ask your dad.

My dad filming the delivery? He didn't
even take a picture when I was born!

- Think there's no father!
- Your agenda! We'll call all the fathers!

Fuck! Don't you get it?

I want to be alone,
I don't want anybody else!

Easy, easy.

And Granny?

Granny?

- Hold on!
- I don't want to have a baby now!

I think I don't want it!

- I don't want it!
- It's too late, love.

It's late, love.
Hold on, please.

Help!

Didn't your mother tell you
you'd develop?

A girl develops one day
and has her menstruation.

Then she's a woman.
She can have children!

Here. I developed at 10 too.

- I'm 9, madam Lola.
- Don't call me "madam", I'm your granny.

Call me "granny"!

I don't want to be a woman! Why do
I have to become one all of a sudden?

I don't want babies now!

Nice situation for us
to get to know each other!

Here. Try to put this on.

- I can't!
- Yes you can!

That little hole behind
the one you wee-wee from.

- Look closely.
- I don't have any hole there!

What are you saying?
Every woman has a hole there.

You'll be quite aware of it
later on!

You have to try and look for it slowly.
Relax and you'll find it.

Look for it with your finger.
When your finger goes in, there it is!

Try it.

No, this can't fit anywhere here!
There's no hole!

Look,

this moment is very important for you
and I'm making you nervous.

You have to calm down and find it.

I'll leave and wait outside
with your dad, OK?

You slowly try to find it
and put it on, OK?

You're so beautiful! What a beautiful
granddaughter I have!

Let's see that smile!
Lovely! Come on.

- See what you were missing without her?
- You were missing her too.

- And I was missing you two.
- Oh, my love!

I've made up my mind.

I'm going to take some
vacations from my vacations.

Ah, well...

No, the thing is I've decided

with all responsibility
to live on vacation.

Autumn, winter, spring, summer.

Always on vacation.

- Do you like the idea?
- Best idea I've ever heard.

Eugenia, do you like
the sea without waves?

I've never seen
so much beauty in one spot.

Never imagined I'd have
a Chinese-Jewish grandson.

Shocking. I didn't know
you'd slept with a Chinese.

I didn't fuck any Chinese!
I can't explain this!

But look at his eyes,
his features! He's beautiful.

And we're just beginning
to know him.

I'm thinking that
he's Chinese and Jewish.

- I can't stop thinking he's Chinese.
- He's not Chinese or Jewish or Argentine.

He's just a tiny being
who will discover himself.

What about his name?

- David is nice.
- I'll call him Nazareno Tai!

- My little Chinese baby!
- Can I hold him?

Let's see if he sleeps
with his Grandma.

When he's with me,
I'll call him David.
