This is the moment

when she sings to the heavens.

To him. Do you remember the story?

- Yeah.
- She goes crazy.

- For him?
- For him.

Is that when they kill him?

When something bad happens?

Not yet. Let's see how this fits.

- Like that?
- More or less, yeah.

- Are you done, baby?
- No.

I can't wait any longer.

I couldn't hold it anymore.

Come on, Sol.

Push it out.

Just let it go, come on.

Pass me some toilet paper.

Grab it.

- I couldn't hold it any longer.
- Goodness, Mom.

What?

This is a public restroom! Get out!

Almost done! Come on.

Hurry.

Leave it if it won't come, Sol.

You can go when we get home.

Wipe yourself.

Now, come on.

- No.
- Finish up.

The bridge! The bridge! The bridge!

That's right.
We'll go under the bridge

like the motor cowgirls.

- Let's hold our breaths, okay?
- Okay.

And you have to make a wish
while we do it.

Okay. Do you have a wish already?

- Yes.
- Okay, I have mine, but it's a secret.

I can't hold it any longer.

That means your wish will come true.

Should I tell you what it was?

- Tell me.
- I wished for Daddy not to die.

Hey, Auntie.

How are you?

I'm doing well, Auntie.
Everything's ready.

Yes.

The Zepedas haven't gotten back to me.

Maybe you could text them
to see if they're coming or not.

Yeah.

That's great, Auntie.

Just any gift you like.

Just what I told you.

A gift for Tona, something funny.

I don't know,
just anything you can think of.

Hey, is Obregón coming?

That's great!

She didn't know if she could
get off work early. That's great.

Hang on a second, please. Nuria!

Can you get that, please?

I can't right now, I'm busy.
Will you get it, please?

Lean over, sweetie. There, that's it.

There. It'll feel a bit hot.

One time, after I'd been
to a swimming pool, I got an earache,

and Granny Susana made
the pain go away by doing this.

Really?

- What do you think?
- It's good.

- Can you feel the heat?
- Yeah.

Feels good, right?

What a divine gift.

- Hey, Cruz.
- Hi, Lucía.

Just a minute.
I'm just dealing with this.

- I can see that.
- Let me fix your nose, sweetie.

No, I can't breathe with that.

Just for a little while,
so your dad can see you.

He'll love seeing you like this,
won't he, Cruz?

- Absolutely.
- You're beautiful.

And we've got a huge surprise, too.

Don't tell anyone. Just Cruz.

Six eggs and two cups of sugar.

I'm going to put this here.

Okay. Put them here.

Look at the gift I found outside.

Let's see.

Hey, Solecito.
That wig is amazing, I love it.

- Thank you.
- It's ugly.

- I brought this cake for my dad.
- Thank you so much, honey.

Your wig is really cool, I love it.
You look really great in it.

- And the balloons?
- We brought them for the party, too.

Mama, I don't like clowns.

Why are you being so rude, Esther?

I don't find it funny.
That was very rude.

You need to apologize to your cousin.

- Only if she takes off the wig and nose.
- She's not taking them off.

- Leave her alone.
- She's so pretty.

It's a rainbow wig.

What's at the end of a rainbow, Sol?

Gold. You're gold, Sol.

Come here, honey.

- We're busy making a cake.
- I'm sorry.

That's a good girl. Well done.

- You look lovely with that nose on.
- Can I go see my dad?

Not right now, sweetie,
he needs to rest.

- Did he ask not to see me?
- No way!

He just needs to sleep for a while
so he's well rested for the party.

- I'll leave her with you for a bit.
- Thanks, Cruz.

Let's make this cake, shall we?

Yeah!

I want to put the eggs in, Mommy.

- You want to put the eggs in?
- Yes.

- All right, then. Let's see.
- Okay.

In here, you have to put...
We said it was six eggs, right?

Great. And then...

Get up.

That's it.

Two, three...

Breathe.

Deep breaths.

- Slow.
- Yeah, okay.

Have a rest.

That's it.

Are you going by yourself?

- Thanks, Cruz.
- I'm here.

Hi, Auntie.

Hi, my love. How are you?

Good.

- Where's your mom?
- She had to go to the theater.

I need to ask her for something.
Never mind, I'll text her.

Are you ready for the party?

Yes.

What a cute clown you are.
I love it.

You look like your dad with that nose.

I can't breathe.

Take it off and put it back on
when the party starts.

- Okay?
- Can I go see my dad?

No, honey.

Don't bother him. He's resting.

We want him very well rested
for tonight.

Don't bother him, please.
He's sleeping, okay? Promise?

- I promise.
- You won't bother him?

- Promise?
- I promise.

Well done.

- Hey, will you help me?
- Yeah.

Would you like a coffee, Monsi?

Don't give him coffee.
Leave him alone.

Okay.

- It's dirty up here.
- Is it?

He's purring.

I'll give you something to clean it.

- Don't get yourself dirty, honey.
- Okay.

Mommy, it's really dirty.

Are you going to clean, too?

No, I can't reach.

Here, Mommy. It's Monsi's coffee.

With tuna.

Honey, why did you give him coffee?
It'll make him sick.

- Do you want to wipe up there?
- Yeah.

- Will you take Monsi?
- Give him here.

Hold him while I clean up here.

I'm going...

to get wet.

- I'm going to get wet.
- Don't lean back, you'll fall.

- Look, Mommy.
- What is it, sweetie?

Don't bite that.

You'll damage your teeth.
That's enough.

Hand me the pumice stone.

- Auntie.
- Yes, honey?

Why did Grandma die?

Granny died because she got cancer.

Where did she sleep?

She slept with Grandpa.

But which room was it?

- What was that, honey?
- Which room?

The one your dad sleeps in now.

You'll damage your teeth.
Stop that now.

Sweetie, please. Give me that.

The water is nice.

Look, Mommy. Like this.

Well done.

- Is it done?
- All done. You look very pretty.

What's this?

- A cup, sweetie.
- What for?

For wine?

Not exactly.

No, honey.
You can't drink wine from it.

- I'm going to wash my hands, Mom.
- Okay.

Will you pass me the soap?

What's this?

Soap.

- A doggy soap.
- Hey, look here, Esther.

- With the earrings or without?
- With earrings.

I don't care.
I've been waiting for too long!

I've been waiting forever.
My hair's going to be ruined.

There's a towel here. Dry your hands.

- Nuri.
- What?

- The other one is broken.
- I'm coming. We're almost done.

And I'm going to shit myself, dammit.

Faster. Faster.

Faster.

Faster.

- Wouldn't you rather play with this?
- No, I want to play with Monsi.

Okay.

Monsi.

And we hooked up.

And it was the best sex of my life.

But at the same time...

Fuck! I felt so guilty.
Obviously Roberto doesn't know.

I don't even feel bad for Roberto.

I feel bad for me and my son.

I mean, I don't want to keep repeating
the same fucking patterns.

I feel like, at some point,
Roberto and I had gotten to a good place

and that was a conscious step.

Now, the shit from the past is back,
and it's much worse.

I want to be the best version
of myself for the baby,

but I feel like I'm being the worst.

If things were bad before,

they're far worse now.

It makes me so fucking sad,
because I can't control it.

Elaborate.

I don't want to pass this on
to my baby.

I don't want him
to unconsciously absorb

all this shit I'm doing.

It just fucking pisses me off!

Sol, sweetie,
pass me a paper towel, please.

- Auntie.
- Yes, honey?

Why have all my dad's paintings
been taken down?

He asked us to, my love.

He wanted to see the paintings
from when we were kids.

Will you help me?
Is there dye left here?

- No.
- Or here on my neck?

None there either.

- All done.
- Here.

Thank you.

Did you get rid of the lice?

You did?

I'll ask Tilos
to brush your hair, okay?

Sound good?

- Can you get me some more paper?
- It's bad to use this much paper.

Oh, sweetie.
Your aunt didn't leave me a towel.

Just one more piece.

Can you see any more?

None on my forehead? No?

What's up, Garnacha?

Hey.

Hi.

Hi, handsome.

Hey.

We're going to work on this now,

just like you're telling me, right?

There's a very bad vibe in here.

Those paintings aren't helping.

Look at these women crying.
That's a lot of sadness, a lot of pain.

Then there are these children here,
suffering.

You'll have to change these paintings,
they're not helping.

To get rid of the spirit or spirits
you actually have here...

- Have they played your piano?
- No.

That's good. That's very good.

Because they can be very wicked.

But I mean, seriously,

I can feel it with each step I take.

You can feel the energy,
it's very strong.

I don't know who you've messed with,
or let inside your house,

or the company you keep,
but you need to be really careful.

Because the energy is very bad.
Don't be afraid.

We're going to get rid of them.

- I'm damn good at that.
- Right.

It's a good thing
they told you about me.

I'm going to help you and your brother.

Because I also heard
you have a brother who's bedridden.

Don't worry. Don't be afraid.

We're going to get them,
but they're strong.

Look at this.

Look how my hairs are standing on end.

And I barely have any.

But they can also feel
my presence already.

Don't worry.

We're going to get rid of them.

- I just need you to cooperate.
- Yes.

Just put your hands up like this,
making the sign of the cross.

- And help me kick them out.
- Sure.

- They're here. They're here.
- They are?

- I can sense them.
- My God. You can?

Don't be afraid.
Show them you're stronger than them.

- Right.
- Here we go.

- We'll get rid of them, you'll see.
- Yeah, they'll leave.

Get out! We don't want you here.

Don't come here causing trouble
and doing wicked things.

Nobody here wants to harm you,
we're not asking anything of you.

Leave them be.

We're spirits, we're family,
we're beings of light.

Get out! Out!

Get out of here!
Move out of the way, baby.

Don't be afraid, or they'll possess you.

Out!

Please.

- Ale?
- Yes?

Ale, there's something here.

I can sense something here, Ale.

Guess what.

Ale.

I can feel something.

But it isn't bad, Ale.

I can feel something good.
I can feel something...

loving.

What happened here?
What happened in this place, Ale?

Do you remember anything?

Yes.

This is where my mom would spend
her afternoons.

So, it's your mom.

It's your mom who won't leave you.

She doesn't want to leave you.

She's afraid.

Don't worry.

It's gone.

Everything's all right.

Take it easy.

It's gone.

We're doing well.

Let's go this way.

Órale. Check this library out.

Do you have the Cañitas horror books?

- I don't know.
- Just wondering.

Look.

It's like the Olympic torch.

This is our triumph.

- Where to now, Ale?
- The hallway?

The bad vibes are coming out,

and the fire's coming in,
the light, the power.

It smells like smoke.

- That's enough, Alejandra.
- It's really quick, Dad.

You'll burn down my office.

I'm not in the mood
for your satanic bullshit.

- Get out.
- We're going!

Why did Aunt Alejandra
and that other lady

have that burning piece of bread?

Because they're crazy.

They're crazy.

Put that down.

Esther.

That's fine.

We're balancing the energies here.

Everything's fine now.

My work here is done.

I will ask you to put
a bunch of salt in each bucket,

and wash the hands and feet
of your sick relative,

because it will help him feel better.

My work here is done, then.

Tell me your name again,
so I can save it for the future.

Yes, my name is Lúdica,
which means "joy"

in case you didn't know.

Lúdica. Right. Let me pay you.
It was 2000 pesos, right?

No, baby, here's the thing...

It'll be 3000 pesos,
because it was really tough and risky.

This job exhausted me.

In fact, I'll have to take
three days off to relax,

because this was really hard on me.

- I'll charge you 2500.
- That's fine.

And, please, recommend me
to your friends.

Sure thing, I'll walk you out.
Thanks, Cruz.

We won't be long.

And I also sell Tupperware...

Hello.

Hello, Esther.

- This isn't a toy.
- Dad, will you calm down?

Take it easy.

I need to go to the market
for groceries.

I also need some things for the cake.
I'll leave Esther with you.

Don't go.

- I have to.
- No.

Hey, also, Dad,
we have to pay Dr. Jiménez tomorrow.

- It's urgent.
- There's no more money for treatments.

We have to pay him.

- We can't leave it.
- He doesn't want the damn party.

Will you chill about the party, Dad?
Just enjoy it.

I had to wash my hair in the sink.

- Your hair looks great.
- It does not look great.

Hey, let go of me, sweetie.
I have to go.

- I won't be long.
- Come on!

- I don't want you to go.
- Please let me go!

I won't be long. I'll be right back.

I have to go. I won't be long.
I'll be right back.

Oh, no, darling, what is all this?

No, baby.

Can you put these cushions away?
Weren't we tidying up?

Come on, help me out,
someone could die.

Come on, Solecito, please.

We're running late.
The living room is a mess.

Come on, mama.

- Please.
- Yes, Auntie.

Sol, please pick that up!

Come on, please help me, mamita.

Come on, mama. Please help me, Sol.

Oh, no. No, no, no.

Excuse me, little doggy.

Sorry, I don't have the answer to that.

When will the world end?

Unless future technology fails us,

the Earth will most likely be destroyed
when the Sun becomes a Red Giant

in several million years.

What are you doing?

- You scared me.
- A lot?

Yes.

Well, what are you doing?

I was talking.

With your phone?

What about?

Nothing, we were just chatting.

Chatting about what?

Whether the world is going to end.

You asked if the world is going to end?

And if my dad is going to die.

You're smarter than this thing.

A whole lot more.

How are you?

- Fine.
- Really?

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Sometimes I feel
like my dad doesn't love me,

when he says
he doesn't want to see me.

By the way,
shouldn't you be with him?

He loves you so much.

He thinks about you all the time

and he asked me to tell you
he's going to shower

so he doesn't smell like a goat.

He wants to look nice for you. Handsome.

You're right. He doesn't love you,
he adores you.

He loves you with all his heart.

My Sol.

He loves you so much, sweetheart.

I promise you.

On my honor as a witch. A witch.

Let me see your tongue.

Lift it up. Put it down.

To the side. Other side.

You're very healthy.

I think so.

I can tell by your tongue.

Let me smell your breath.

What have you been drinking, Sol?

There was a pot there
and I accidentally knocked it over.

I pushed it with an apron
and there was a bottle of wine behind.

I had a sip and it tasted awful.

Like blood.

Have you tasted blood?

- When my tooth fell out.
- Oh, yes.

Well, don't drink any more
if it tastes so awful.

Your cousins are here.

I'm taking this.
Your grandpa was asking where it was.

Go out in the sunshine, Sol.

Get some fresh air, okay?
Lie down on the grass.

I'll bring you some bread and water.

Okay?

Goodbye, sweetie. I'll take this.

Are you serious?

I told you I needed help.
Come help me vacuum.

- Let me just answer this text.
- No, you're not answering anything.

Tell them to wait and come help me.

It's not fair. He's not doing anything.

No, he's helping, too. Up, Chava.

- Why?
- Why do you think?

- I just turned it on.
- You're not turning anything on.

Turn that off, and your phone,
and come and clean.

- Will you please help me out?
- I helped you yesterday.

And he can help today.

She lives here for free. I'm still a kid.

- She's supposed to be an adult.
- Both of you, no messing around.

- In a minute.
- I said now!

- Are you serious?
- What?

You're being sexist.
He gets to lie around, but I don't.

- I'm not lying around.
- Give me that.

Give it to me.

You've got
until the count of three to get up.

- Chill out.
- Don't tell me to chill out.

- I'll ground you for two months.
- Two?

Two. Both of you.

- Get up!
- Coming.

And do it with a smile.

Stop! Mom, Chava is being an idiot.

- How are you doing it?
- Like this.

No. No, sweetie.

Do it like I showed you, man.

- Fan out. Fan out.
- Mom... You're doing it for him.

- Let him do it.
- You can do it, too.

That's how you raise a sexist.

Keep going. Fan out.
It's that easy, honey. Fan out.

Keep going, there's plenty more.

Please don't do that, honey.
It really bugs me. Come help me instead.

- Yes, Mom.
- Come here.

Grab a bit of this here.

- Wonton!
- There we go.

Make a little ball.

That's it.

We're trying to stop it from crumbling.

Scoop up the crumbs, baby.
Make sure it's round, okay?

- Yes.
- You have to knead it well.

That's it.

- These ones as well.
- Okay.

That's it.

I can smell burning.

- It's burning!
- What?

Dammit!

Oh, no!

- Uncle Tona's cake.
- Pass me the milk.

- Should I help you?
- It's best if you give it to me.

Shit...

Mom, what's wrong with your finger?

I burned it, baby.

I burned it.

Let me see.

There.

- I love you, Mom.
- Me too.

It was Uncle Tona's.

Uncle Tona's cake is burned.

That's right, baby.

I don't care about that.
I care about you.

- I don't like it when you're sad.
- No, honey, don't worry.

I'll be fine in a minute.

Anyway... It doesn't matter.
It's just a cake.

We can bake another one.

We'll make another one.

How are you going to get free?

What are you going to do?

Hey, I'm winning.

- Hey, how's it going, gang?
- Hey.

- Hi, Uncle Napo.
- The gang from hell.

- Can I see the fish?
- How are you?

Yes, it's for Sol. Let's give it to her.

How are you, Chavita?

- Hey, Sol. Did you see this?
- Is it for me?

Yes, it's for you.

- It's a little fish.
- I want one.

You want a little fish, too?
I'll get you one. You'll see.

- This one is for Sol.
- Sol, that's so cool.

- What will you call it?
- You need to give it a name.

- Dog.
- Eustaquio.

- No.
- Oh, Dog?

Nugget.

No, it looks like a Medusa.

What do you think, Chavita?

I think it looks like a Shark or Cat.

Cat would be a funny name.

Nugget is nice. Nugget with ketchup.

- Because it's reddish.
- Don't move it too much.

Yeah, did you know they're the first
to feel an earthquake,

because they can feel the vibrations
since they're stronger in the water?

They'd feel the vibrations
even if they weren't in water,

because although they have small brains,
they're very clever

and feel any sort of vibration.

You need to put it in a jug.

Right. Do you want to come help me?

- Yeah!
- Let's go and look in the kitchen.

- I'll carry it.
- Is it male or female?

- I don't know.
- Nugget is a good name for both.

- Nugget is universal, unisex.
- Come, let's put it in a jug.

No way, he was kissing me!

Be careful, hold it under here.

- And be careful.
- Be very careful.

I spoke to the doctor today.

She told me
the x-ray didn't look good at all.

I think we need
to consider dorsal spine treatment.

- What else can we do?
- No, Dad doesn't have a dime.

We have nothing left.
I've sold everything.

But he's in so much pain.

I know, but he wants morphine.
Why bring it up today? Leave it alone.

I finished vacuuming, Mom.

- Think about it.
- This place is a mess.

- I'll clean up.
- Hey, how are you?

- Try "hello" first.
- Hi.

Walk in and tell us off.

Because I've been all over town
to find organic stuff for Tona.

Four and a half hours to buy groceries.

- I went all the way to San Juan.
- Just help us, Napo.

That's why I'm here.

Listen...

I really think we need
to consider c-h-e-m-o.

Come on, right now?

- Yes.
- No, he decided.

We discussed it a million times already.

- He wants morphine.
- Tona doesn't want it.

And the most important thing is
to support his decision.

- It's up to him.
- It's not up to us.

- Just leave it now.
- We're not doing anything.

- Come on.
- We've done all we can.

Don't you remember with Mom?

I don't want that.
Do you want to go through that again?

- Yeah.
- Stop. Please.

Chemotherapy is terrible.

Okay, but the morphine is horrendous.

- He's decided.
- It makes him weird.

Not now.

The morphine is the only thing
that helps with the pain.

- Look at my fish, Uncle.
- It's horrible, but that's how it is.

It looks great! I love it.
I'll have to get a tank.

- Yeah.
- So he has a home, not a jug.

We have to consider it though, right?

We can always ask him again.

- Exactly. Please.
- We just can't go behind his back.

Fine, ask him.
You can talk to him, too.

- Sorry?
- Do you have fish food?

Yes. Let me look.
I don't remember where I put it.

Nugget is hungry.

Please, drop it.
We'll talk about it later.

Last one.

Okay.

Breathe normally. Breathe normally.

- Thank you, Cruz.
- Sure.

This thing about the upper
and lower jaw,

what's up is down...

I think.

"The two hexagrams display
nourishment as a natural process."

I throw it!

Dad.

Can you turn off that light, please?

We're going to start the quantum therapy.

Chava, your phone too, please.

- Please, turn it off already.
- Put it in airplane mode.

Can I have your attention
for just a second, please?

We're going to begin the quantum therapy.

And... Esther, please.

- We're just going to close our eyes.
- Chava.

Let's all take a deep breath and focus
on the idea of Tona feeling better.

Quantum energy will come from outside
and we just have to be receptive to it.

- For a few minutes.
- Can I give you the cake?

- Sure.
- I'll leave the topper. Look after it.

I will.

I'm sorry you have to sit through this,

but you got here so early.

- You always have to be early.
- But you can hit traffic, you know.

No, it's great that you're here.
Thank you, I should say.

So, everyone has to close their eyes,

breathe and try to keep your bodies open.

You can close your eyes now.

- I'm scared.
- Breathe and think about Tona.

Think of something lovely for Uncle Tona.

I'm not going out there.

What about putting a diaper on?

I'll tell your sister.

Cruz.

Will you ring your friend?

- It's like this.
- Can you put my clothes on now?

Let's see.

- Let me do your hair, sweetie.
- No, Mommy, no.

Okay, sit down.

Let's take these off.

- Oh, no. It's going to rain.
- Darn it. What should we do?

We'll have to bring everything in.

I told you we should've rented a tent.

- It cost a fortune and I'm broke.
- We'll get soaked. What should we do?

Just bring everything inside.

Dad is unbearable.

We need to tell him
to take it down a notch... or ten.

- He doesn't have to come to the party.
- Wait up, this is getting all twisted.

- Let's see.
- Put your arm in first.

It's all tangled up, see? Hold on.

What did I tell you?

You should've tied your hair up
in a couple of buns.

I'll do your hair.
Your mom doesn't do it right.

Let's see.

What's this?

- What?
- It's the sleeve.

You put it inside...
You need to stop drinking.

- Here. Come here, sweetie.
- You're such a clown.

And you're crazy, huh?

There we go. Beautiful.

- Hi.
- Hey, how are you?

Good.

- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.

Hi, sir. How are you?
It's great to see you.

I brought you something,
I hope you like it.

And thank you for inviting me.

- This is Iván.
- Hello, how are you?

- Nice to meet you.
- My entire family.

- Good evening.
- Hi there.

The beach boy story?
Here goes. Picture Tona.

Tanned chest, wearing a Speedo,

walking down the street.

- Slender, sensual.
- A fucking vision.

But how did it come about?

Because they did a sort
of festival every year

where they chose
the most attractive guy in each class,

and they'd have a competition,
like Miss Universe, but for guys.

And you had to wear a swimsuit,
hence "beach boy".

So, as a joke we said, "Do it."

So, it took place at the high school,

and every guy from each class
modeled for it.

And who do you think won?

- Of course.
- Tona!

Here.

- I don't like this one.
- You don't?

What about this one?

- Thank you, Cruz.
- No problem.

Let's see this one.

This one works.

There you go.

You'll be the life and soul of the party.

My Rocky Tona. Rocky Tona.

- What?
- No, I have to go back.

Why?

I shit myself.

My Tona.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

My dear family, a moment of your time.

I'd like to ask you
to help us raise a bit of money.

We're going to use this piggy bank
to help Tona.

Should I leave it here
or pass it around?

Thank you so much.

- Thank you.
- Put it here, in the middle.

Raising some money for the little piggy.

- Do you take cards?
- Sure we do, boys. Sure we do.

Of course, it's just... Okay.

- This is from us two.
- Thanks!

It's incredible.

Suits, dresses, shoes,

because then you have... Yes.

When it's really hot,
the sidewalk gets really hot, too.

- We bought him shoes.
- No, I didn't buy anything.

We bought him shoes,
but he can't walk in them.

Why are you all alone?

Look at the camera. Look here.

Look at the camera, Sol!

Knock it off! Stop filming me!

Come down here! Come down here!

Leave me alone!

Solecito, just ignore them.

Enough already! Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

Knock it off. Leave me alone!

- That's enough, Solecita.
- Take it easy, Sol.

- It was just a joke.
- We were joking, sweetie.

Don't film me.

Don't get mad, baby. Everything's fine.

- If it's broken, it doesn't matter.
- Red card for the drone!

So, you know about the accident,
but it's all good.

- Is Sol okay?
- Sol? Yes.

She must be going through
a lot of complicated things.

She's rebelling.

- Hi, my love.
- Hello.

Why haven't you come out to the party?

Because your dad is getting ready.

Can I see him now?

Give me one second
and I'll check, okay?

Guess what. You can.

Hi, Daddy.

Hey, my Ponyo.

Happy birthday.

Thank you, my Ponyo.

Let me see you.

I have a gift for you.

Look, that's for you.

Oh, it's still...

- It's still wet.
- It's fresh paint.

Do you like it?
It has all your favorite animals.

An owl.

Did you know
owls have a little flashlight here,

so they can see their prey
and eat them?

Really? I didn't know that.

And snakes...

The snake that's the most powerful
in the world is black

and if it bites you...

- You die.
- The Nauyaca, right?

Yes.

- Thank you so much.
- You're welcome.

You're really skinny.

I know, baby,
that's why I didn't want you to see me.

I painted this so you could look at it
whenever you want,

because sometimes...

there are things
you really want to see but can't.

But they stay with you anyway.

Did you know the hummingbird flaps
its wings millions of times?

- Really?
- Yes.

You'd never be able to count them
because they're like...

And they make a noise, right? They hum.

Barely.

They have this beak
and they fly from flower to flower,

but they never get tired
because their wings move so quickly.

Hello.

- Who's here?
- Mom!

My baby.

How's my beautiful, little Sol?

- I was listening to your voice.
- Wow, you look great.

What were you all dressed for?

The theater, what else?

- How are you?
- Fine, you?

It's so nice to see you.

Likewise.

How are you?

Happy to see you. Be careful.

Me too.

Did you see the painting I did
for this little one?

It's beautiful.

- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.

- I also brought you a gift.
- Really?

And me and this one here,
we prepared something for you.

Really?

A huge surprise.

I'm impressed with the painting.

He made it for me.

Guess what. Uncle Napo gave me a fish.

- Seriously? What's it called?
- Nugget.

- Where is it? Did you eat it?
- No!

- You ate it.
- No.

I left him out there. He's in a jug.

- What color is it?
- Golden.

- What will we feed it?
- He has its food.

Right, well, close your eyes.

Don't look.

No cheating.

- Have I ever cheated?
- You can look.

Right or left?

Right or left?

- Knowing her, it will be the left.
- Left.

I'm sure of it.

Ta-da!

Wow, what is it?

I went to a lot of trouble to find this,

especially for you.

For your birthday.

- What's inside?
- Show us what it is and how to use it.

Inside there are...

tamarind seeds.

And this is how it works.

You turn it over, like so,
you shake it, and...

- Ta-da!
- Wow.

You have to say what shape it makes.

I know.

That's a smile, some eyes, and a nose.

It could also be a beach
with sun loungers.

What do you see?

I see the horizon.

- At the beach.
- Horizon.

There, where the view ends.

That's what I see.

- What about you, Mommy?
- You?

I see a cloud

and there are raindrops
pouring down from it.

Wow, it's true.

- Right?
- If you look at it from this angle.

This is the cloud, Dad.

I love it, thank you.

- It's a great gift.
- You're welcome.

You'll spend hours looking at the shapes.

I will.

Tona.

My friend is here to do what you asked.

And Ale is... bugging me.

We'd better go then.

Let's go for the 27th round, Rocky.

And those still to come, Tona.

What a round.

What a weird party.

All these Tonas.

So scary.

Hello, Ponchito.

I love you, my dear brother.

- Esther.
- Happy birthday, Uncle.

Thank you.

Friends...

What's up, man?

Enjoy your party. I love you very much.

I'm so happy to see you.

- Hello, Uncle.
- Hi, Nephew.

- Happy birthday.
- Thanks, Arielito.

Juli, this was all your doing, right?

- Did you like your surprise?
- You're crazy, Sis.

I'm overcome with emotion.

- Tona, Tona!
- Oh, Anita.

Thank you.

Happy birthday!

Thank you all so much.

- Vassallo!
- What's up, Tonaya?

It's so weird seeing myself everywhere.
I'd rather see you guys.

Thank you, Sis, for everything.

I love you so much, kiddo.

- We were really starting to miss you.
- Where were you?

In the bathroom.

Put something between these two.

Down there, put a blanket on it.

The mat for that one.

Right, the blanket and then this.

- It's all between us, okay?
- All good.

- You were never here.
- Right.

It's all done, Garnacha.

We have the masks, balloons,
and everything.

We got together to get you a gift.

And this is your gift.

It's always an issue,
but every teacher has their favorite

and he truly was mine.

You know I really love you in that sense.

I've always talked to you
about Paulo Freire.

Teaching and learning
are a process of dialogue,

a two-way street.

And in that sense,

I'd like to apologize

because I gave him hell
about the bad karma

the name Tonatiuh brings for a "whitey".

That's what the natives called
Pedro de Alvarado

and he was the worst conquistador,

responsible for the Cholula massacre

and the massacre
in the Great Temple of Tōxcatl.

But, in fact...

there is a luminous part of the Sun,
as there is a sun from the underworld.

The Lacandons say that the jaguar walks.

Right now, it is walking.

It's the nocturnal sun.

But there is a sun, a sun that shines...

and though it might be the midday sun,
it does not fear its decline.

It shines its light, without sadness,
into the sunset.

And with that, Tonaya became Tona,

through his work, through his art.

- My posole is getting cold, Vassallo.
- All right, all right.

That jaguar claw!

That jaguar claw.

One sip for our ancestors. Cheers!

What I wanted to share with Tona,

on his birthday,

is about the Tonalpohualli,

which has the same origin as his name.

It's the 260-day ritual calendar
of Mesoamerica.

And...

as Tona already knows,

time in Mesoamerica is cyclical.

Here, in this land,

cycles do return to a point
but not the same point.

It's an upward spiral
that passes through different points,

despite seeming to return
to the same one.

So, on such a special birthday, Tona,

we're here, in the same place,
but at the same time in another.

- Bravo!
- Going around the sun again.

What a mystic.

I'm terrible at speeches.

Bravo!

Sorry.

Great speech!

Tona...

my friend...

you showed me love

through your friendship.

All the journeys we took together,

the astral ones

and the geographical ones,

are all part of my map.

I love you.

Light it up! Come on!

Light it up!

Come on, Vassallo!

The flame's getting close to the paper.

Gently, gently...

It's going, it's going!

There it goes!

As the charros say,
beauty is itself so beautiful.

There we go!

Fire, fire, fire!

Fly, balloon, fly!

There goes our offering to the gods.

Fly, fly, fly!

It's coming down!

- It's coming down!
- Careful. Get out of the way!

- Careful, okay?
- Here it comes!

No, no, no!

Take that away from Vassallo.

- You'll set fire to it. Watch out!
- Be careful about the tree.

Throw your drink on it!

- Be nice to me.
- Let me smell your breath.

- My breath?
- You're wasted.

- I'm not wasted.
- Nuri, please.

I just had a few sips, chill out, man.

- Well, stop drinking now. Come here.
- Why stop?

Come here, please.

- Isn't this meant to be a party?
- Exactly. And you're not at it.

- I'm finishing the birthday cake.
- Just leave the cake for now.

Tona has been asking for you.
Let me clean your face.

This is ridiculous.

Look at the state of your face, Nuri.

- Really.
- Keep going, it feels nice.

God, what a mess. Let me see.

Here, drink some coffee.

Girl, you reek. Please, just drink it.

Tona has been asking for you.
Will you just come?

Just for a while.

Let me finish the cake.

- The cake is finished.
- It's not quite there.

Don't drink. Just for a little while.
It's a party.

Look at the state of you.

Go away.

- See how you are?
- What? Leave me alone.

How long have we been
organizing this party?

- To do something special for Tona.
- Do you know what?

We've been organizing it
because you wanted a party.

- Yes, I wanted to throw Tona a party.
- I've had it up to here.

I've had it up to here
of you telling me what to do.

I'm sick of it.

You want to control everything
around here.

- No, I don't.
- You know what? Back off.

Don't tell me to back off,
I won't back off.

You're the one who needs to back off.
You always do whatever you want.

- Shut up.
- I won't shut up.

There's a party going on,
we're not going to fight now, please.

Then leave me alone.
You came looking for a fight.

I didn't. I came to get you.

- You came to fight.
- I want you at the party.

I don't want to be there.

- You don't?
- No, I don't.

In that case, have the balls
to go out there and tell Tona that.

I'm sick of you. And you know what?

- Why are you taking my drink?
- Because you're already wasted.

And I'm wasting my time with you.
Do whatever you want.

Okay, sweetie, let's do your hair

so you can go to the party.

I don't want to go to the party, Mommy.

I want to help you.

I have to finish making the cake, baby.

I don't want you to drink, Mommy.

Just today because it's a party.

Okay.

Okay, honey.

- Go out there now, okay?
- Okay.

Just a little more, Mommy.

No, baby, I'm in a hurry.

- Go on now.
- Okay.

I have a lot to do still.

- How old is he?
- Five months.

It's so cute.
He could be on a magazine cover.

- It's male.
- Cats are amazing.

- It's Esther's kitten.
- Really?

But she left him with us.

If you say so, but you didn't take them.

- So your name is Kayú?
- That's right.

What language is that? What does it mean?

My mom just really liked
the cartoon called Caillou.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah, and it just stuck.

He's a very noble
and sentimental character, so...

- So, do you like your name?
- I do like it.

I became fond of the cartoon
and it grew on me.

Over time.

Give me an hour.

- Just one more hour.
- Half an hour.

He has to take his medication
and get some rest.

But they're happy. One more hour.

- Help me with him.
- I have to get going.

No, stay. Just a little while longer.

One more hour.

- Did you already eat?
- I just grabbed something.

- Stay.
- Okay.

Help me out with Tona,
just one more hour.

Okay, but only if you help me out.
You haven't paid me in two weeks.

I'm so sorry.

- Forgive me.
- Don't sweat it.

- It's just the party and everything.
- Don't worry.

Let me see how much I've got here.

- You're going to drop that.
- Sorry, there we go.

There we go. Here.

You can't put the cigarette down?
What have I told you?

- There, it's gone.
- You finished it.

Listen, I promise I'll pay you
the rest next Friday, okay?

But it's better than nothing, right?

Thank you for everything. Really.

Stay for another hour.

Here's some cash for my boy.

- Thank you, Cruz.
- Thank you.

What's up, Nuri?
Aren't you coming to my party?

I'm almost done, I promise.

What are you doing?

I'm making you a cake,
but I don't want you to see it.

Even more surprises for Tona.

Sit down.

- What's up?
- Are you happy?

- Yeah, it's great.
- Yeah?

Yeah, I've loved seeing everyone.

My sweet, little bug.

You look good with short hair.

I did it to encourage you.

Thank you,
but you know that I'm... shaggy.

What's going on?

Come on, you two!

Yeah, come on. Stop slaving away.

I'm almost done, I swear.

- You're insufferable. Come on.
- I'll be right out.

We'll wait for you out there, okay?

- Hurry.
- I'm almost done, I swear.

Tona.

What's up, Dad?

I want to give you something.

I put it in one
of your mother's ceramics.

I've been looking after it
for eight years.

It's for you.

Thank you, Dad.

Surprises!

- What a great gift.
- We're just messing with you.

You also get to sweep and vacuum.

Thank you, you've made me very happy.

With the balloons and everything.

You look like Jimi Hendrix.

Man, that's great.

Calm down, boys.

Congratulations, Tona.

Look, Esther.

The other leg.

Ta-da!

Look at our trick.

Now there's just one of us.

Now there's two.

One.

Two.

- You can introduce us. Okay?
- Yep! What will I say?

Okay, give it a try.

Welcome, everyone.

Women and men?

There's going to be a song.

A song, a show, and tell them,

- "I'm the orchestra conductor."
- Right.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.

Today, we have a show for Uncle Tona.

Music, maestro!

- DJ Chava.
- Quiet, quiet!

Bravo, Sol!

Come on, my charro.

You can fall, but don't break.

You always pull through.

We love you, man.

Hey, man. Everything's okay.

Everything's okay. Cheer up.

Come on, Uncle Tona!

Everything's fine, man.

What a day, huh?

Come on, Tona.

We love you, Tona.

- Yes!
- We love you, Tona.

We love you, Tona. We love you.

- Uncle, do you want some cake?
- Yeah, let's have cake.

I think I'm hungry.

Here comes the cake!

Let me through!

Wow, Mommy!

It's beautiful!

Now, that's a painting.
You should learn from your sister.

Thank you, Nuri.

You're welcome, sweetheart.

See, Dad? It's super nerdy.

Yeah, my brother and sisters
are making fun of me.

Super nerdy.

I want just the same but with mermaids.

Speech!

What am I going to wish for?
A pair of boots...

Make a wish! Come on.

My wish is...

There is no wish.

For my daughter
