Octavio?

Octavio?

I have to go.

Here, darling, it's cold outside.

I'll leave them here.

I'll take it with me the day after tomorrow for the presentation to the city council.

But does it have to be here?

Marisol, just leave them there.

Please.

See you then.

Have a good trip.

Jesus Christ!

PERFORMANCE CENTER

Alicia.

Concentration.

And please.

She gets better every day.

Her presence is incredible and the technique is almost perfect.

Shh! Be quiet.

Why are you clapping?

That was fine for someone who has legs,

But it doesn't just have legs,

but also a head.

And if she doesn't use it, she is like a dancer in a music box.

Without soul, without drive, without surprise, and that is not possible.

Neither for me, nor for you, nor for the jurors.

Look at me.

Look at me, Angélica.

I know there's something inside you, deep inside you.

I know it.

Either you get it out on your own or I'll rip it out of you.

But you have to get it out.

Tell me something.

Express something.

Yes?

Then show me. Come on.

Up. Stand up.

Imagine this, you are angry with someone.

Tell me about it, in Ukrainian if you like,

as you like, but I want to see it.

Come on.

Pirouettes.

Again.

And please.

Tell me about it. Go on. I don't see anything, girl.

Give it to me. With power.

That's it. There we have it.

Good.

The break is over.

We have a competition ahead of us.

In three weeks the World Championships will take place here.

There are no more free hours, except for sleeping.

Order, rigor and discipline, inside and on the mat.

We have a lot to do and little time.

Get to work. Come on, girls.

Marisol!

I spoke to Aleska.

She says that all the documents have been sent by Angélica.

This means that we have the signature of the Ukrainian ambassador

and the approval of the Ministry of the Interior.

We've made it. Angélica takes part in the world championship.

Finally.

Just sign here, then it's official.

Ah, and the date for the sponsorship event has also been set:

It is the 25th.

Claudia, it's a circus.

And I may train the wild animals, but I am not their clown.

Angélica.

Your documents. I have signed them.

Now it's as if we were married.

Thank you very much.

Off to bed.

Immediately!

They are afraid of you.

They respect me.

Oh, before I forget,

on the 25th a kind of tribute to you.

A homage?

Probably your career.

Ah.

A speech of thanks and three pats on the back.

My career starts anew every day.

Now if you'll excuse me.

This was Marisol's last appearance on the Olympic competition mat.

Now 25 years old she has made a name for herself with

at these Olympic Games in Barcelona...

Here is the answering machine from Octavio Hierro.

Please leave a message.

Hello, Octavio. How is the trip going?

Today was a tough day.

But well, it's over now.

I'll get back to you later.

What the fuck...

Where do you think you're going?

Where do you want to go?

How can you be so stupid?

What the fuck...

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Damn!

Shit!

Where are you?

Shit.

It's Vera's birthday and...

we just wanted to have a drink and celebrate that...

In the car.

Congratulations.

Marisol, it hurts...

I am sorry.

Yes, me too.

Let's make a deal.

I didn't hit you

and you did not gone out without my permission.

Do you agree?

Is good.

We're both in this together.

You have to do your best, child.

The time to celebrate will come.

I promise you.

Okay?

Yes.

Stop crying.

Stop crying.

Not...

cry.

What did I tell you?

We repeat it as often as I say it, Angélica!

-I can't take any more. -Come on!

-Continue! -I can't take any more.

Get moving. Come on.

Come on, don't make me regret it,

that I signed your papers signed.

Concentration!

No, let's start again.

And please.

Don't weaken, Angélica!

Shoulders! Up with you!

What is that?

Upwards!

Open up! More!

Why are you quitting?

Angélica, don't pause until I say so!

-I can't take any more. -Stop with the nonsense.

Come on. Straighten up!

Expression, Angélica, expression!

You're not telling me anything, make an effort!

-This is going to be a boy. -Or maybe twins.

Soon you really will look like this.

-What are you doing? -That looks really good on you.

Really?

Watch out, she's coming.

What do you think you're doing?

It was just a joke, I...

-Don't you have a brain? -What? -Yes, I do.

Then get the ball out of there immediately, you're making a fool of yourself.

-You're probably just stupid. -I'm not stupid.

That was just a bit of fun.

A little fun without a brain.

Are you crying now? Or is it just a joke?

Marisol, let's train.

That's what I'm trying to do, Claudia.

We are on the brink of a world championship.

If you want to have fun, take your things and get out.

Because we take things seriously here.

-Change your clothes! -I'm taking this seriously.

Then stop crying.

I don't understand you at all. You must be stupid after all.

-That's enough now. -What, "that's enough now"? No.

Claudia, please.

Watch out, Lucia, I'm going to tell you something.

If only you were a little more attentive, you'd be in their place.

You can't do that, come with me. We're leaving, and we're leaving now.

Don't touch me.

You don't want to admit it, but the association checks the behavior of the coaches.

It's not like it used to be, when you trained me.

Then file a complaint, but don't tell me how to work.

I'm not telling you how you have to work.

The only thing I'm saying is...

Yes, fine, I know, that you want to claim them,

but please be more respectful.

And act in accordance with the fundamental values of our sport.

Watch out, Claudia, you're good.

I really believe that you can be a great trainer,

but let me make something clear:

We are not interested in the fundamental values of this sport.

-Because we don't do sports. -Oh no?

Sport is what guys do,

who join an indoor soccer league join.

The housewives at the gym, the bicycle club in the village...

Even the 40-year-old who pulls in his stomach on the beach, that's sport.

We are not doing sport, it's a competition.

And do you know what it's all about?

To win. Because that's what counts.

If you win, you stay, if you lose, you're out.

It's good for the association that it wants to image, it's about time.

But don't give me with the damn basic values of sport.

Comradeship, Solidarity, respect, equality.

Don't get on my nerves.

We are all not right in the head anymore!

We have seen seen hundreds of gymnasts here,

who before the age of 20 with chronic ankle injuries,

the knees, hips and the back.

Is that good? Is that bad? I don't even want to think about it.

I like competitions, because I like to win.

And I don't want to sound conceited,

but I can say that I'm pretty good.

Do you know what I think?

Surprise me.

That after many years hard work...

you have won all the trophies there are,

but what it gave you, you have lost.

I admire you very much, Marisol.

And I was looking forward working with you, but...

not at any price.

Not you.

But they do.

These children want something that is not of this world,

and they are willing to pay any price to get it.

You need me.

And you her, huh?

After all, they are the ones who win the medals.

You are so naive.

You just insulted a gymnast.

You list reasons, that I don't care about, I don't understand them.

Your mannerisms are ridiculous and antiquated.

I see you every day, how you mistreat Angélica.

The other girls see it, the association sees it.

And I don't know why you won't see it.

Yes, get lost.

Here is the answering machine from Octavio Hierro.

Please leave a message.

How nice to see you.

You must be very tired.

So many spontaneous trips. That must be exhausting.

Come on, make yourself comfortable.

No. Even better...

Come on, make yourself comfortable.

And as for dinner:

I didn't have much time, but I made a little something to eat.

I shortened the training, to get there before you.

And you know I hate it...

I hate having to wait for you.

Because every second in which you are not with me,

feels like an eternity.

No.

It is true.

But never mind, you're home now.

Marisol!

How nice to see you.

I told you to leave it in the hallway.

It's pretty.

Very...

Very "you".

Impeccable.

Hello, darling.

I am starving.

Me too.

I hate it when you go traveling.

That puts me in a bad mood.

I'm sick of you going away all the time.

But I can't get enough of your return.

Not now.

Do you have something to tell me?

Octavio, I'm asking, if you have anything to say.

No.

I do.

Do you know what happened to me yesterday?

No.

I've been training a gymnast for months. She's good, fantastic.

Yesterday after training, I caught caught her running away.

She got on a motorcycle and drove off.

Without my permission and without prior agreement.

-And what did you do with the poor girl? -Chased her in the car.

I caught her just at that moment,

when she disappeared in a bar in the center of town.

Very close to Calle Chrysanthemum.

I got them from the bar,

and as we were driving back, we stopped at a crosswalk,

to let a couple past, who seemed very likeable.

She was very young.

And pretty.

She looked happy.

He... was you.

Look at me.

Octavio, look at me!

Is this child yours?

Yes.

Wonderful.

Let's start with that.

No, no, let's start with that, that you're a shithead.

Your lack of respect makes me sick.

I should burn all your things

and throw you out of this house out of this house!

But I still love you.

Well, that's a mystery to me too.

Her name is Raquel.

She is eight months pregnant.

Wonderful, and when were you going to tell me?

I don't know, today.

-Today. -Tomorrow.

Ah, tomorrow.

Next week.

After the World Cup.

Watch out, let me do the talking, because you can't.

It's one thing,

that you are giving me the chlamydia from your secretary,

but a completely different one,

that we have to take care of the child, that you're having with another woman!

You understand that, don't you? Do you understand that?

Listen.

Here's what you'll do.

You will talk to her.

You say that you were wrong and that you're sorry.

That you will do your best,

and that she will always has a place in your heart.

And after that...

you return with your head held high to this house.

Because this house is your home!

Marisol.

I see no reason to stay here.

Can't see what?

After 25 years? You don't see what?

What is that? Octavio?

-Tell me, what is that? -A ring.

No, this is an engagement ring.

And I always wear it, whatever happens.

And in our marriage, my dear, pretty much everything has already happened!

But my promise is valid!

And where is your shitty promise?

And where is your ring?

Where is all this?

Don't you dare leave!

Octavio!

Octavio!

You can't leave!

Octavio.

No! No!

You can't leave!

Don't you dare!

Don't go away!

No! Don't go away!

Don't go away...

Enough!

I'm about to puke.

What was wrong?

You've got any...

no control.

You're just running after him,

without sense and reason.

And it slips away from you.

It slips away from you and you risk nothing.

Hello?

Raquel?

Raquel, I'm Marisol, we don't know each other.

Until a few days ago I didn't even know you existed.

I'm not here to make a scene.

I wanted to talk to Octavio.

But I think we both have things to say to each other.

I won't bother you any more. Call me if you need me.

Please.

How do you feel?

Good.

Well, to be honest, not so good.

It restricts me somewhat.

There were complications in the third trimester,

and I have been prescribed absolute bed rest.

Are you in love, Raquel?

Excuse me?

Whether you are in love.

Of course you are, how stupid of me.

This is a...

Fruit of love.

There is a first phase,

in which it really deserves the name "love" really deserves, don't you think?

It has this power that moves everything.

It is the most wonderful feeling you can have in life.

I experienced it with Octavio.

And you probably do too.

That's why I don't blame you.

But like everything wonderful it doesn't last long.

After all, love is fleeting.

But we insist on it anyway, to call them that.

Love.

But actually we should...

name them differently.

Because it changes into something else, what would you call it?

I don't know, you tell me.

I would call it "survival".

Raquel, I know what this is about.

Octavio has some virtues and many weaknesses.

For every hope he gives you, you will experience ten disappointments.

I know this because I have experienced it.

Not you.

Or is it?

It takes a lot of energy, to love Octavio.

I get them from under rocks. I am a rock.

I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you very much.

We are not finished yet.

Why are you here, Marisol?

I'm here to tell you that you should think twice about this.

There are mistakes, that you have to pay dearly for,

and this is one of them.

Okay, that's enough now. Get out of here, please.

Why don't you get out of here?

You get out of here.

I can't disappear, because I'm not there.

I'm not here to father children,

by grabbing someone, who seems to be a good catch.

So, little mouse, do yourself a favor:

disappear from the scene.

Leave us alone and find someone else.

Disappear...

Run around.

I'm fine, I'm fine. Give me the phone.

-Don't stop, walk around. -Get the phone!

Go away!

Go away.

-I want you to leave. -Not before you call someone.

Yes.

Doctor Amorós?

This is Raquel... Yes, Salvador.

He told me to call,

if something is wrong, and I'm in a lot of pain.

What are you doing?

Marisol, come on, now open the door.

Marisol.

What are you doing, Marisol? Now open the door!

-What are you doing here? -I'm sorry.

-Marisol. -I wanted to talk to you.

If you want to talk to me, give me a call, but don't come to my house.

To your home? Our apartment is your home.

There is no more "us".

There is no more "we".

Go, Marisol.

25 years don't just disappear.

-Just so you know, honey. -Don't call me honey.

-What should I call you, please? -You shouldn't call me anything.

What happened? What happened?

What happened?

I'm bleeding, Octavio.

Dr. Amorós sends an ambulance.

Everything will be fine. Take a deep breath.

Everything will be fine.

Everything will be fine.

Everything will be fine.

Here is the answering machine from Octavio Hierro.

Please leave a message.

Tell me something, seduce me.

Tell me something, Angélica.

Tension! No, no, no, no.

Once again. Go.

Does it have to be?

Again.

Excitement! There you go, keep it up.

Come on, Angélica, stretch!

-It is not working. -It is exhausted.

Oh no, that's not possible. Come on, let's go.

Go on!

Here is the answering machine from Octavio Hierro.

Please leave a message.

Here is the answering machine from Octavio Hierro.

Please leave a message.

I love you.

Excitement, excitement, that's it! Go on, go on, go on! You can do it!

Top! Fanstatic, keep it up!

Here is the answering machine from Octavio Hierro.

Please leave a message.

Here is the answering machine from Octavio Hierro.

Please leave a message.

Octavio, I can't reach you.

How's Raquel? I need to talk to you.

It is important.

Octavio, how is Raquel? How is she feeling?

She is doing well.

The other day was just the scare.

It could happen at any moment.

-Everything is going well. -I'm pleased about that.

How are you?

Marisol, what do you want?

BABY-PALAST

Why don't you ever listen to me?

I said, please don't call me anymore!

Listen.

It's just our apartment, so our apartment is full of you.

It would be good if you got your things, before Raquel gives birth.

I'll come as soon as it suits.

I have to hang up, I can't talk right now.

I know it's not the right moment, but...

Tell me.

It would be nice if you could tell me when you're coming so that I'm not there.

Fine, then I'll come Monday afternoon.

Thank you, Octavio.

That is so beautiful!

-It's amazing, isn't it? -It's pretty.

These halls have witnessed the birth and the blossoming of true talent.

Girls who pursued the dream,

the whole world with the delicate gestures of her body.

Equality, respect, solidarity,

Camaraderie.

These are the foundations, on which the honor,

gymnast of this team, is built.

In a few days we will be the hosts of the World Cup.

And I would like to use today's event to say thank you.

For the incredible effort, the efforts

and the infinite wisdom of one of most important trainer in our country.

Without them, the medals of our gymnasts would have no impact.

And also the path of our new generation of trainers

would not have been so well leveled.

They are all eager to do so, to thank her for all this,

what they learned from her, while studying her methods.

Thank you very much, Marisol.

For everything.

All eyes will be on you.

You have to show them what you can do.

You are much better than them.

Tell them a story with every movement a story.

Inspire them.

And now it's the turn of Angélica Goncharova has her turn,

which finally, after great efforts,

can compete for our country.

We have high hopes for them.

Show them.

You have brought shame upon me.

Look at me when I talk to you.

Twice...

you dropped the clubs, Angélica.

Twice!

You can't withstand the pressure and you are afraid.

I've had enough for today. You've humiliated me enough.

Surprise.

Yes, I'm sorry too, that I can't make it sooner.

There's just a lot going on at the moment.

We're having an audit right now. All right, thank you.

Give me two days.

And Monday, Tuesday I'll send you a voice message.

Yes.

See you then.

This jacket always looks good on you.

What are you doing here?

Do you remember I gave it to you as a present?

when we were at the championships in Minsk.

No. I'd better come back another time.

-No. -Actually...

I don't know what I want here.

I don't need anything from here.

Okay, okay, okay, no problem. Let me help you, please.

Let's get this right.

-Okay. -Yes?

I only take what's on the bed, and maybe a few suits.

The brown suit is next door, isn't it?

-I'll go get him. -Wait!

No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait!

Do you like it?

What is this?

Let's not kid ourselves.

These girls will disappear at some point.

But the little person, who is on the road remains.

You have to take that into account.

And I do, Octavio.

He will be fine here.

This could also be his home.

We don't have to change things,

only adapt.

No, no. No.

-You didn't understand anything. -Yet.

Marisol, you didn't understand anything.

It's not about that I want a child

or that I want to be with Raquel I want to be with Raquel.

Or that I want to leave here and don't want to see you anymore.

And then what about?

Everything.

It's all these things at once.

Unfortunately, you can't have everything.

Take me.

Yes.

Look at me.

Octavio, look at me.

Look at me.

Look at me!

I don't want to look at you.

I don't want you to look at me. Never again.

Shit.

Bad.

No!

In the corner.

Go!

Two devoulés, right away.

Go.

Once again!

Don't stop. Come on!

Again.

Go on. Have you heard?

Let's go now.

From the corner.

Three devoulés.

Again.

Up with you.

Come on!

Mills.

Here!

Do it faster.

Open.

More.

Close.

Look at me.

Bend your elbows.

On your knees.

Look at me.

Do it faster.

More! More!

It hurts just as much inside me.

We have to cover that.

-Ah. You're angry. -Yes.

I'm doing this for you. So that you can win this medal.

No.

No! Not for me, you're doing it for yourself.

You're not beating me for me.

You don't humiliate me for me.

You don't want me to win the medal you want to win it.

Because it's the only thing thing you have left.

Alicia?

All right.

The break is over.

What's going on here, please?

And please.

A video has been published.

Look at me!

On your knees!

Look at me...

What's going on here now? A secret service mission?

No. But this video, I warned you.

That's it.

Don't take the piss, Claudia.

Who was that?

Who was that?

Who was that?

That's what I was missing.

What is it? I'm working.

Three newspapers called me three newspapers called me, Marisol.

I'm sick of it, covering your back.

I'm sick of it, do you hear me?

I don't want to see you here anymore.

Claudia, I have faith in you, that you will turn things around.

The post is yours.

You've all gone completely mad.

I hope you choke on it.

Damn bitch.

RESERVED PARKING SPACE

Octavio!

Octavio!

Octavio!

Don't you dare disappear.

-Hello, honey. -Yes?

I am on the road.

-Hurry up. I think it's starting. -Be right there.

Come on.

Faster, faster, faster.

Wait.

Wait.

Let's see how it looks.

Anna, please close the curtain, be so nice, will you?

María Soledad Martínez.

They have woken up.

How do you feel?

The fracture to your ankle was serious, but the CT results look good.

We'll keep you here for a while, but you can rest assured.

María Soledad

We'll take care of you, understand?

Yes, I have understood.

Good. Eat something, before you take your medication.

Please help me, lift your knee.

And now a little further... to there, very good.

Okay, you can lie back again.

The bed sheet.

So, very good. That's good.

I'll leave you to it, see you later.

But María Soledad, You haven't eaten anything.

I told you, that I'm not hungry.

So, I'll leave you the yogurt, it will do you good.

You need to eat something, so that you can regain your strength.

Shit, Manuel?

Manuel! Manuel!

-Cardiac arrest! -What's going on?

He is unresponsive and has no pulse.

To the shock room, quickly! Cardiac arrest!

-Cardiac arrest! Cardiac arrest! -Let us through, please.

Cardiac arrest!

Hello.

Help me a little.

Very good. The most important thing is that it is well fastened.

You will see, the mechanism does the work.

It distributes the weight and the ankle remains remains immobilized, very comfortable.

Does that bother you?

Okay.

Sorry.

I've almost got it.

So.

Shall we give it a try?

Very good. Feel free to prop yourself up a little,

but do not burden it with your entire weight.

-No, alone. -Of course.

-Excuse me? -Hello.

Raquel Salvador's room?

Hello, little one.

What little hands.

I have never held a baby in my arms.

Sh...

What is it, darling? Hmm? Are you hungry?

Thank you.

Have you thought of everything? Have you watered the flowers?

Of course. Now stop worrying about it.

It's more important to me that you get well again quickly.

What are you doing here?

A fracture. Not nice. But I'll survive.

It's been a long time, I've seen your hair like this.

Are you coming or going?

I'm going.

Shall I drive you?

I'll drive you.

I am sorry.

...live from the World Cup, where dramatic scenes took place.

It is a great pity that the last gymnast

within the last four seconds of her freestyle.

But now it's Angélica Goncharova's has her turn.

The native Ukrainian is the great hope

of the Spanish Gymnastics Federation,

because she is the first gymnast of the national team in the position...

She is the only one who has a chance of winning a medal,

and she competes in all four disciplines.

-Hello. -Good day.

What will it be?

I don't know.

A beer.

...let us not forget your Ukrainian school,

that does a good basic job, but whose system is also very strict.

On top of that, that at her age of 25...

This is one of us.

...she lines up, gets ready for her freestyle.

Give it your all, Angélica.

Ball freestyle appears simple.

But in truth they are more than complex.

They are a world of their own.

The ball must remain in constant motion, turn

and circle.

If it stands still, you lose.

The grace,

the sensitivity,

the delicacy...

are absolutely essential.

Grazie,

Sensitivity,

Tenderness.
