Won't you come for a second? je

Come on out here.

- I was just about to cook oatmeal. - It can wait.

I hate how bad the connection is.

- What's up? - Can we please talk?

About what?

About what you said.

What's our situation? You said we should split up.

I don't know what the situation is. I don't know.

So, you don't think we should split up?

I think it's tough. It's hard to feel comfortable with this.

Honestly.

I feel like you don't get me.

Or what I'm trying to tell you.

MY DANCE WITH ROSA

- And he's opposite you.

- How do you do that? - He's showing you.

It's like wiping your feet before you walk in.

I've seen the guys in Cuba go like this.

I've almost got it.

Let's go, or you're never going to learn it.

I'd like to learn this one.

- What are you up to? - I'm just filming.

Cut it out.

Why?

You'll appreciate it later on.

- And your child will appreciate it.

I'll find the best place to listen.

Push again. Lift your leg a little higher.

Yes, that's it! That's how you do it. You're amazing! 00:05:`` 36:02 00:05:38:02 Well done, Rosa!

Oh, honey...

- Is she cute? - She's so beautiful.

3750 g.

Grumpy cyclist.

Sounds exciting.

Huh?

Olives with anchovies.

You've never tried it? It's very Spanish.

I've had anchovies. Maybe there were olives in there.

It's just olives with a hint of anchovies.

What do you think about the fact that...

... we haven't dated for very long?

What I think?

Well, it feels...

It feels right.

And time isn't going to define how I feel about you at all.

It feels like we've been together for longer.

I love being with you, so I don't think much about it. But sometimes it still...

It comes up when we aren't able to deal with something properly yet.

Is it annoying that I film you?

I'm just not in a good mood.

I'm very dramatic.

I'm not dramatic. I'm pretty laid back.

You're dramatic when we have a discussion -

- and you say we're going to split up.

But that's part of whereI'm coming from, being told that...

That's also why it's tough for me when people don't understand me -

- and when you all the time...

You know that who you are, or what you do...

It's considered dramatic or too much.

You constantly have to change who you are.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just totally wrong.

No, come on, that's not what I'm saying.

I guess I've had that feeling, also because of what happened with my mum.

Why isn't she part of my life?

Why was I discarded, left somewhere to fend for myself?

I think it's hard for me to receive love -

- or understand that some people care about me and want to be with me.

- Do you think that about me too? - Yes, I really do.

Sometimes when we have a fight, I think, "Oh well, that's that."

You know, "It was going to break up soon anyway."

Look at you. That's amazing!

- It's flying away! - Daddy, get it!

Won't you get it?

I'd like to hear what you think, because you're the normal one here.

Oh, all right.

- I hope they won't face alienation. - They're going to.

That's already going on. They're talking about their curly hair.

They want straight hair instead. So, that's going to happen.

Unfortunately, that's how it is.

Right.

I don't know what it would have been like if I had stayed in Cuba -

- but where I grew up, I didn't notice colour.

Then suddenly you're confronted with the fact that you look different -

- which impacts on others, and it took me a while to realise what was going on.

You're like, "Okay, I'm not just a human being."

"I'm a human being who has something -

- that some people have certain opinions about."

All the years I've lived here, I've had to deal with that -

- being looked at in a way that's different from everyone else -

- and being laughed at.

The hardest thing was probably not having a family to go home to.

I didn't have a dad, mum, brother, uncle or anyone to go home to.

I had to deal with it on my own.

You need a bath. Your neck is all dirty!

I'll get more water.

- How are you doing, José? - Fantastic.

- You're with your family. - It's amazing.

It's the greatest thing for me to be with my whole family.

I'm filled with joy. We haven't been together in years.

This is my family: my two girls, four grandchildren and two sons-in-law.

They're all here with me, and I'm thrilled that they are.

I hope we'll be able to do this many times over.

- Let's celebrate. - Yes, we should.

You need to teach it your language.

The duck...

- Look how much she's eating! - She's a little rascal.

You should have seen Samira eat mango.

You don't realise how tough it is not having your dad or uncle close by.

Sure, I get it. I understand.

- I missed you all so much. - I missed you too.

But everything worked out the way it was supposed to.

Stay calm. Think about your two girls.

All four of you are united, and things are moving ahead.

You're living life together.

You need to avoid having too many fights and move ahead.

You don't decide your own fate.

Do you want water? Let's find some water then.

I'm just happy that this is how it was supposed to be.

Of course, I appreciate that it's made me who I am today.

Exactly.

One step at a time, and stay calm.

You know that if you go to Spain, you'll have nothing.

Yes, I know.

Are you uncertain? It sounds like you are.

No, I'm not certain, but in the end, it's what's best.

If people thought Cuba was improving -

- if I could be a basketball coach and earn a proper wage -

- or be an athlete and have a good contract -

- sure, I'd go back.

But right nowI earn 40 dollars in two months -

- and after one month, I've got nothing left.

I can't live like that.

I can't throw my youth away.

Armando, take good care of yourself.

I'll call you when I land. No, please don't start.

- Be strong. - And give your daughter strength.

I love you.

What makes you most excited about moving?

I don't know! What makes you excited?

I'm mostly excited about having more space -

- getting a guest bedroom and a big bedroom for the kids.

A big living room.

Right, that's nice too.

- Do you believe in us? - Do I believe in us?

Yes, I think so. I mean, I do.

Otherwise, you wouldn't take this step. I wouldn't move. That's an odd question.

I guess I've said I didn't many times before.

Well, you've said many times that you doubted me and my love.

Right, I think that's mostly about myself.

Maybe.

Well, you've said that you don't know if I truly love you or like you.

That it's hard to believe.

Yes, isn't that all right?

Sure, of course it's all right to feel like that -

- but it's hard for me to be in that sometimes.

It's tough to be in that spot.

To sense that sometimes you think -

- that none of this matters -

- when you experience opposition in our relationship, a conflict.

I think it's about control.

- Control? - Because then it was my choice.

No one threw me out or...

Is that the same with friends and acquaintances?

That's fucking tough.

It's tough to watch and experience.

- It still is? - I think so.

I wish it weren't like that -

- but I've probably got used to the grief of experiencing that.

So, how about now? You tell me this is how you react.

Then why are you still with me?

- Because I love you. - Oh, okay.

I think you're...

Well, you're my whole universe.

No, I don't want to cry.

It's hard knowing that I constantly try to push you away -

- and at the same time, I need you right here with me.

We bless her and everyone watching.

By being all alone?

Oh no, I'm here with my Cuban friends.

He's not alone. He's here with his family.

- We're his family.

Would you look at that!

- Can I make my oatmeal now? - We've got to figure this out.

Do we try to make it work or split up?

- You can't just say we're over. - I don't know.

- You have to figure it out too. - I told you I don't want to split up.

Then why do we keep...?

What can we do then? What can we do?

- Hello! What are you eating? - Nothing.

- Your mouth is stuffed. What is it? - It's cake.

It's made of... mash.

Marshmallows?

Huh?

Why are you out here?

We're just talking about mum-and-dad stuff.

Do you see mum?

- Isn't she beautiful? - Uh-huh.

- I'm going to have oatmeal now. - I want oatmeal too.

Okay then, go on.
