It's really complicated to find a flat, but it's even more complicated to convince my parents so I can become independent.

I see, your father doesn't agree right?

No, the one who doesn't want me to become independent is my mother. My father is almost eating out of your hand.

You are such a good daughter.

I know some girls that at your age became independent without the permission of her parents.

Miguel, I need the signed permission of my parents to be able to become independent.

But I think, how is it possible that in 1976, and adult woman needs permission?

Luisi, you don't need it.

Luckily, the law changed last year.

Of course I need it. The law hasn't changed that much, a lawyer told me.

So you can tell that lawyer that he doesn't have any idea.

Listen to me, the ONU declared that last year was the woman year.

And the "camisas azules" of the female divison went down the drain.

Are you sure about that?

Of course I am sure. Women can already open a bank account without the permission of the husband.

Accept an inheritance, start a business up, at last.

So I can become independent if I want?

Of course you can, how could you think that you need a signed permission of your parents having 22 years.

It doesn't make sense.

Hi. Hi boss, what are you doing here? Luisi and me will close. the bar.

I know, but I wanted to take a look at the account book and also take a walk to clear my mind.

Luisi.

Why don't you ask your sister? She knows a lot about this.

Ask me what?

At what age can a woman legally become independent?

At the legal age.

What's the matter? You are sure about that, right?

Yes, the law changed last year.

A woman that worked in last film I did, celebrated her 21 birthday at her new house.

I've been so silly, so silly, so silly, a real idiot.

What's the matter with her? What's the matter? What happens is that mom and dad have lied to me, that's what happens.

ANd they band together with Quintero so I believed them.

They lied about what?

You should talk this you both alone.

Thanks Miguel. I am so silly.

Luisi, what's the matter? What's the matter? I was going to become independent with Amelia.

Dad already knows that....?

No, he doesn't know, we told him that I was going to move in with a friend.

I think it's too soon to move in with Amelia.

Are you going to criticize me or will you let me talk?

Fine, you are right, sorry, go on.

When I told them that I wanted to become independent, they told me that to be able to do it, I needed a signed permission to be legally able to become independent.

And if I had doubts, I should call Quintero.

That's not true. I know, now I know.

Do you realize that mom is trying to control everything in order to lie to me...

everyday. I help them in everything I can, at home, in the bar.

Luis, calm down.

The truth is that mom is not handling this the right way.

But you also have to understand her reasons. No. No, shut up and listen to me.

Imagine how things will get complicated if dad finds out that Amelia is much more than a flatmate.

It will get complicated, because they will listen to me. Calm down.

I think it's good that you talk to them. Luisi.

But talk, don't shout, talk.

Fine, fine.

I will talk calmly with them, and I will not lose patience at no time.

Lie to your own daugther, what type of parents do that?

You should be ashamed, and involving Quintero in all this.

Calm down, I don't know what you are talking about, but it's not the best moment now.

And you grandpa don't meddle in, because you are not one of those people that think that the ends justify the means, as they do.

What have you done to her? Tell grandpa what you have done to me. As you didn't want me to become independent, they've lied to me.

You will not say anything?

At least I see that you know you made a mistake.

DId you think that I was silly? That I would not find out?

Stop it. It's not the best moment now.

Leave us alone and we talk tomorrow.

Of course we will talk, but what I will do is leave this house without your permission, because any place is better than here, where you treat me like a kid.

Manuela, don't cry please.

Well...

I didn't want to get to this point, but I didn't have any other option, with such a lie and...

Can you shut up right now Luisita?

Do you think you are the center of the universe?

If you want to leave, just do it, but now we have a bigger problem.

What happened? The bar didn't pass the inspection.

We have to remodel some parts in the bar and also pay a fine.

And we don't have enough money.

And your mother had a big argument with Mrs. Ascensión, because we all think De La Vega family are behind all this.

I am sorry, I had no idea.

So now you know.

So if you will not collaborate, if you are going to give us problems...

If you want to leave, you know where is the door.

Listen to me, go to bed, tomorrow is another day.

Please.

Come in.

Wow.

Are you coming for the flatmate interview, right?

I've to warn you.

I am so strict and so stern with the personal interviews.

So I will make you an exam to see if I can trust you. Stop, please.

What's the matter?

I came to tell you something.

I will not be able to move in with you.

Why?

Because my parents... Sure, they don't want you to leave, and even less if it'r with me.

No, that's not it.

At least not entirely. If it was just that, I would do whatever I want.

We have a really big problem at home.

A real problem, and I feel bad for being so selfish and just think about me.

One moment, Luisita.

Let's take it bit by bit, I don't understand anything, sit down.

Tell me, what's this big problem?

There has been an inspection in the bar.

And it was not good.

What do you mean with that?

A salubrity inspection.

And we have to pay a fine and remodel the bar.

Is there another option?

If we don't remodel the bar and pay the fine, they can close the bar.

I promise that I had never seen my parents so to the limit.

That's normal, with all the problems they had with the house, the confrontation with De La Vega family...

I think they did this. De La Vega family? Yes.

But I don't mind, I only want things to get better.

Sure, that's normal.

And for that reason I can't move in with you. Not now.

Do you understand me? Of course I understand you darling.

I know that you were really excited, but...

Don't worry, we will move in later on. What's important now is to support your parents.

And I will be by your side, to help you, to help them in everything I can.

Thanks.

We have to be by each others side, helping us in everything we need.

Without hesitation.

I think I found the way to help my parents.

How?

Do you remember the money I saved to move in with you?

I think I know where I will invest it. If you are fine with it, and you don't mind.

Luisita, I don't mind and for things like this is why I am so in love with you.
