What are you thinking about?

About Tata.

How she would have liked to be here.

You miss her a lot, huh?

Every day.

It made me feel very strange to think

that the bullfighter wouldn't

be here to see this either,

but something told me that being a father

was going to be a lot easier

for me than being his son.

LOS ANGELES 2009

Okay. Your passport, sir.

Thank you.

Shall we go to the hotel and leave our bags?

No, we'd better go straight to the hospital.

Thank you for waiting, ladies and gentlemen.

We invite group...

Sir, look, it must be a misunderstanding, really.

Mr. Bose neither does drugs nor gets involved in politics

or does anything irregular.

We've come here for a concert and this is the documentation.

Miss, back off.

Sit down and wait.

COLOMBIAN AIRPORT SECURITY

And do you know how long I'll be here?

Silver Cain, he's Spanish.

Did you know that?

I don't think he's ever been to the West in his life,

but he writes good novels.

I acted in a Western two years ago,

"Le llamaban California".

Have you seen it?

I don't have time to go to the movies.

We didn't shoot it in California.

We shot it in Spain, in Almeria.

As a child, I adored your dad,

Dominguin. Number one.

He likes Colombia a lot.

He took the "alternativa" in the Plaza de Bogota.

He was 15 years old.

He'd bring us here a lot when I was little.

That's why I like coming back.

It's a shame he retired.

His body couldn't take it anymore.

No, we can't wait because we'll miss the flight.

We have to be in Madrid tomorrow, no matter what.

The order comes from the top. I can't do a thing.

And...

would you let me use the phone?

Press 0.

Thank you.

That looks very good.

Your wife must have made it.

Yes, she's a great cook.

-Want some? -You don't mind?

Not at all.

Thank you.

Better harvests have generated a surplus

that has forced the country

to sell 30% more in 1978.

President Lopez Michelsen...

It's not like they told you.

Please, father-in-law. Please.

I'm sure you've already learned your lesson.

And you?

Me too. More than anyone.

If I tell my wife that I didn't get your autograph,

she'll kill me.

Pilar!

Excuse me. Let me see.

Did I arrive on time?

Here.

-Well, safe travels, Miguel. -Thank you.

Give my best to your wife. Thank you.

Here. Go.

-Miguel! -I'm coming.

Sorry. When my husband's upset,

he's unstoppable.

-Don't hug me. I'm angry. -Rosa.

-Thank you, Miguel. -You're welcome, commander.

Nah, there gonna have busy days.

Don't do this to me again.

What'd I do? Take photos with the crew?

The president's daughter-in-law wasn't much of an affair?

Rosa, these tabloid stories are ridiculous.

No, Ana has no rights over me,

nor I over her.

Also, what happens on tour,

stays on tour. Doesn't it?

-Huh? -Let go.

This is beautiful. Come on!

THE VIRGIN RANCH JAEN

Hello!

Good morning.

I thought you weren't coming.

Come here.

Trip gets longer every time.

He drives as slow as molasses in January.

-I'm Luis Miguel. His father. -Ana. Nice to meet you.

Two kisses, right?

Nine thousand hectares...

This is the best hunting ranch in Spain, in Europe.

It's wonderful.

A treasure.

When I bought it, I think Miguel had just been born.

Yes. I was very lucky that they sold it to me.

-Do you like the country? -Of course.

How can I not? I'm studying biology.

Really? Jesus. That's very good.

You'll be coming here all the time.

We have fallow deer, we have deer,

we have pigs, hares, partridges...

Come here, Hoz.

Let's see how you'd remove it.

-Come on. -I think this goes like this.

-We could go to town, Ana. -To town, what for?

I want to get chopines and oil from the co-op.

You go. I'll stay here with Ana.

I still have a lot to show her.

Let's see if I can keep her from getting bored.

But don't you worry about me, huh?

What have I done to you to treat me like this?

You can treat me with more familiarity.

I'm not that old.

Okay, okay, okay. Don't worry.

I won't get bored. I brought a book.

No. You don't come to the countryside to read.

You come to the countryside to breathe. Or am I wrong?

I won't be long.

Hey, and what do you plan to do

when you finish your studies?

-I'd like to work in a lab. -Really?

Yes, but it depends on the opportunities I get

with my internships.

Well, okay, a lab.

But I don't know. I think...

that's a bit of a shame.

Someone as pretty as you,

with those eyes.

They could get damaged because

of the microscope. Right?

Well, let's see.

I've been offered some work as an actress and model.

There I see you. There I see you.

-I like doing research. Yeah. -You do?

Well, here, you can come and research

whenever you want, whatever you want.

I'd love to, but since Miguel travels so much...

What do you need Miguel for?

Call me, I'll send Teodoro,

my driver, and he'll get you.

You can stay here as long as you want.

Excuse me.

Where's Ana?

I think she's in her room.

She wasn't feeling good or something like that.

Well, women stuff, you know.

Topito?

What are you doing here?

Ana, are you okay?

Ana...

why are you crying?

-Have you no shame? -Don't raise your voice at me!

-What'd you do to her? -Nothing!

Did she say otherwise?

No, she couldn't tell me.

-But she's crying. -She's just a crybaby.

-It was just a misunderstanding. -A misunderstanding?

Go and apologize to her now.

A bullfighter never apologizes.

No, not a bullfighter.

But my father does.

Are you and I going to argue over a woman?

Whatever. If I have to apologize...

I'll do it, period.

LOS ANGELES 2009

Are you feeling okay?

Any nausea? Not really? Okay.

Here she comes.

-Is everything okay? -Yes.

I'm sorry, I can't tell you anything.

But the doctor's coming.

Thank you.

Very good, thank you. We'll call you.

Tell the next one to come, please.

You can drop your stuff there.

Name?

Nacho Duato.

Age?

-Twenty-two. -Good. Whenever you're ready.

Super Superman

Don't you understand We love you?

Super Superman

Don't you know you are my hero?

Knock 'em dead!

Superman!

Knock 'em dead!

I'll tell you How to hit the beat

Superman!

Super Superman

Don't you understand We love you?

Super Superman

Don't you know you are my hero?

Knock 'em dead!

I'll tell you How to hit the beat

Come on to 54 You Superman!

Cut! Well done, guys.

You're too good to dance here.

I'm saving money. It's different.

Yeah. I want to go to New York.

I want to continue learning,

and I need to get auditions,

and it's clear that I'll have more opportunities there.

-But do you speak English? -Me? Zero.

And you?

-I do. -You do?

Miguel, Molina's here. He wants to talk to you.

Oh, it's the boss from the record company.

Let me introduce him to you.

Hey, why don't you go alone?

Be right back.

The contract we signed was for three albums,

and it's a good idea to start thinking about renewing it.

If they turn out as good as the first three,

I'd be happy to.

Okay, but how many records are we talking about?

Three more.

And I believe there'll be more money.

And more money.

Well, let's celebrate.

Rosa, tell Tata that we'll have dinner at home.

Okay.

And tell Nacho to come too.

There are relationships that help one's career

and fellow travelers that are best to avoid.

MIGUEL BOSE THE BEGINNING OF A SUPERSTAR

"Are you faithful?" Answer:

"Love cannot be limited.

I can even love a man."

Question: "Bisexual?"

"Yes, but not homosexual."

Yeah, it's from an interview in "Super Pop".

What's wrong?

It's not necessary to divulge so much information

about your love life.

What time is it?

What are you doing awake? It's super early.

Tell me what you think.

As peaceful as the mountains, I'll love you.

What's next? Sing it to me.

Okay.

Why "something not perfect"?

-I'm perfect. -Think I wrote it for you?

You're so arrogant.

It's for my mother.

Yeah, right.

-I was thinking about my mother. -Don't lie. Don't lie.

See who it is.

-It's Miss Ana. -Hi, Tata.

-Hi. -How are you?

-Hi. Good morning. And Miguel? -Fine. Miguel isn't up yet.

I'll go wake him.

I have to tell him something very important.

-Really? Let me tell him. -Yeah.

Rosi, get coffee for Miss Ana.

No, I've already had breakfast.

I'd rather go and surprise him.

-Ana! Ana! -Miguel!

-Ana! Wait, you'll wake him. -Miguel!

Miguel! Miguel! You won't believe it.

Nacho, don't run away.

-Hello. -Hello.

Hi, Topito.

Let me know if you need something.

Who's that?

It's Nacho, from the dance team.

He's very handsome.

I'm sorry. I should have told you before...

Wait, Ana.

-Does this bother you? -No, Miguel.

But when you said you loved me, was it true?

Ana, of course I love you.

I've never had a girlfriend

with whom I get along as well as with you.

Well, that's what's important.

-I've been offered a movie part. -Really?

Yes, I didn't want to tell you on the phone.

-That's why I came. -Congratulations!

Very good.

I'll put some clothes on and you'll tell me all about it.

-Okay. -Okay.

Hi, Miguel.

Shall we hear this one?

-I think this one's the best. -Ana's arrived,

and with her here, the song makes perfect sense.

Is that true?

You were thinking of me?

-How'd it go? Everything okay? -She's okay.

But I'm afraid the pregnancy is not.

Both of them?

Why?

Neither of the embryos implanted properly.

But was there something wrong

in the fertilization process?

No, no.

Remember that

one in four natural pregnancies

fails in the first trimester.

MEXICO CITY 1979

DEVIL

Hey. Very good, guys, sensational.

I like working with you.

Hey, do you want to make a record together?

-Yes! -Yes?

-And what do you say, Paulina? -Yes.

Yes. Perfect. Well, you can count on me.

From now on, I'll be your godfather.

-Give me a hug? -Yes!

Very good. Great, huh? Really.

Very good.

Hey, Miguel. What time do you prefer to leave tomorrow?

There are two flights.

One at 11, the other at 3.

I'm going to New York tonight.

How come you're going to New York? For what?

To study dance.

I've enrolled at the school of Alvin Ailey

and Martha Graham.

Very good. And have you told the record company?

The album's almost mixed and decisions have to be made.

-You can't just leave like this. -That's what you're for, right?

Look, Rosi, look.

From Mexico, from Chile,

from Argentina, from Italy,

-from Colombia. -Hey, keep the stamps for me.

Someone told me they may be worth money.

Yes, hello.

No, no, he doesn't live here.

This is his parents' house and he doesn't have a phone.

Well, thank you very much. Good day.

Yes, hello. No, he doesn't live here. No.

No, ma'am. We don't have his phone number here.

-I'm tired. -Take the phone off the hook.

-How's it going? -This isn't working.

The boiler needs to be changed, Reme.

And beware, this is only the tip of the iceberg.

I'll take care of it.

But don't say anything to madam.

-More letters for Miguel. -Even more?

The record company sent them. Too many for them to handle.

Ask Lucia and Paula to give you a hand with it.

-Yes. -Is the boiler working?

-I'm working on it, madam. -Okay, off to the hair salon.

I'm going to the office. Want a ride?

-Perfect. Let me get my coat. -Okay.

Have you talked to Miguel? How is he?

I've been calling him all week, but I can't get ahold of him.

Our boiler is damaged, Rosa.

So this month we're going to need a bigger check.

Well, don't worry, Reme.

Miguel won't leave you without hot water.

Thank you so much.

-I'm ready, Rosa. -Okay.

-Bye. -See you later.

Madam won't be happy that you asked for more money.

What she won't like is taking a cold bath.

Swedish stamp?

What?

Culberg Ballet.

-From Culberg Ballet? -Yes.

-Open it. -Yes.

What does it say?

-They hired me. -Congratulations!

Congratulations! To me, it's the best ballet in the world.

So you're going to Stockholm.

-Yes. -When?

In two weeks. Yeah.

This should be celebrated in style.

And you, Miguel, what will you do? Go with him?

Hello? Miguel.

Miguel, it's for you, from Spain.

Ask who it is.

Yes, who is it?

She says it's Reme, your Tata.

Guys, you won't believe this!

Hi, Tata. Is something wrong?

Oh, finally. Where are you?

I don't know what to tell Molina anymore.

Rosa, I can't believe it...

-I'm very busy. What is it? -I know.

But we have to prep the release.

You can't take care of it?

I told you I'd be gone for two months.

I'm taking care of everything,

even fixing the boiler at Somosaguas.

But there are things you have to decide for yourself.

If they do it for you, then you might complain.

And how hard is it to wait for me?

I don't know.

At least give me a date,

so I can give them a schedule to calm them down.

Look, do what you want. Choose the date you want.

I have to go. Okay? Kisses. Bye.

Guys.

Come.

Yes.

Guess what? Nacho got into Culberg!

What's wrong with you?

You've been quiet all morning.

Nothing. I'm just tired.

It's about the Culberg thing.

We already knew that we weren't going to stay forever, Miguel.

We knew that when we arrived.

Sure.

But when we arrived, I didn't think that...

What?

I didn't know I'd like living like this so much.

-Like how? -Like this.

Without fear of being photographed

if we kiss in the street.

Without hiding.

-Well, don't hide. -It's not that easy.

Think people go to your concerts

because they see you with Ana,

and if they saw you with me, they wouldn't go?

It doesn't matter what I believe,

it's what the record company believes.

You don't know what it's cost me to escape

-for two months here with you. -Then quit.

If you work on it, you can focus on dancing, Miguel.

You're very good.

Come on, you lack technique, but that's it.

And a little talent.

That was a joke.

Know what I want to do now? I want to skate.

Come with me to Stockholm.

It's one season.

What? What's the problem?

-You know what. -No, I don't know.

If that's what you want, then do it.

You can afford it, Miguel.

Nacho, a lot of people depend on me.

The office, Rosa,

the musicians, the technicians.

And Somosaguas too.

Know how expensive that house is?

I can't let them down.

Then you'll strand me.

And us.

Going back is not an option for me.

I don't want to hide anymore.

You already know how I am.

I'm very happy for you, Nacho.

And very proud.

I'm looking forward to seeing you dance on-stage.

You'll do very well. I'm sure of it.

Thank you.

Nacho continued his path,

and succeeded as a dancer and choreographer.

Like so many times in my life,

my career separated me from love.

The planets never aligned favorably.

It would take me years

to have a stable

and long-lasting relationship.

Miguel.

Miguel.

Listen.

She said we can try again.

We can make an appointment with the agency.

Tomorrow or today.

I don't know if I want to go through all this again.

I want to recover now.

They're thinking of doing something different.

They want to change the close-up and play with...

Miguel, are you listening?

Come on, take a look at it.

Coming.

Miguel, it's Ana.

Not right now.

Even if you don't want to see her,

invite her to dinner and tell her.

Don't be a coward, like your father.

You're becoming like him.

I know what the cover photo should be.

Lose the earring? Won't that be better?

Seriously?

A bullfighter with an earring... I don't know.

Don't start with the same nonsense as Molina.

I think this one's the best.

Well, the cover is ready.

Impressive, elegant and masculine.

That was a very good idea, Mr. Bose.

Maybe you could wear this

while performing on your tour.

No way.

I've been calling her all week, and I can't reach her.

FEBRUARY 23 1981

Okay, yes, I'll wait.

Few people, huh?

Yes, the hotel is reserved

for the artists at the festival.

Hello. Give me coffee with milk,

an orange juice and a croissant.

I love croissants.

Yes. Yes. Tell me.

You have it all? Perfect.

Yes, there were five rooms, one of them is a suite.

No, the press conference...

We're waiting for the record company

to confirm if we'll do it at the hotel or somewhere else.

Yes, he's here with me.

Okay, I'll ask him.

Hey, it's Argentine television.

How many dancers do we need?

-None. -How can you say none?

It's for the TV show.

I don't want to have dancers, Rosa.

I don't want to dance.

Hey, I'll call you later, okay?

What's going on?

Nothing, I'm just tired of going out to sing,

surrounded by dancers and kids dressed like angels.

I want to evolve.

I think this is a mistake.

No one is going to take me seriously if I dance.

So why did you go to New York to study dance?

Miguel, there are no singers who dance like you.

It's a plus. Can't you tell?

Rosa, I want to be seen as I am.

I'm not going to be a teen idol forever.

It's thanks to those teens that we're here. Remember?

Yes, I know. And I adore them,

but they evolve too.

I don't feel like having dancers, period.

-What's wrong with change? -I don't get it.

You don't have to understand!

You have to do what I tell you.

-Miguel, please... -You work for me, right?

Well, that's it!

I hope you're aware of what's at stake tonight.

Viña del Mar is the doorway

to enter the American continent.

So I hope you don't start experimenting now.

Thank you.

Dozens of battle tanks

and numerous military personnel

have been deployed in several cities in Spain,

apparently without authorization from the government,

which continues to be held in the Congress of Deputies

by a group of armed civil guards.

-Hello. -Miguel, stay abroad.

The military is coming for everyone like in 1936, son.

-Same as in '36. -What are you saying, Tata?

The military, son. They're coming back.

And you, with the things you've said...

But I don't understand. How can they be coming back?

Some armed civil guards entered the Congress, honey.

And they kidnapped the president

and all the ministers there.

We've seen the tanks pass in front of the house.

They were going to the Spanish television.

Tata, and Mom and Paola, where are they?

Your mother is packing her suitcase, Miguel.

How is she? She refuses to stay.

She says she can't stand another dictatorship

and she's going to Italy.

And let me tell you one thing, I'm going with her.

Okay, listen to me, Tata, calm down. Okay?

Honey, I have to go. Promise me one thing:

You won't come back.

Thank you.

Do we know anything else?

No. I have no more news than what's on the radio.

Okay, let's go.

Ready for Quinta Vergara.

We'll be out in two minutes, we had to change the schedule.

Camilo Sesto returned to Spain a while ago.

Instead, you'll close the show with Mr. Iglesias.

Hi, Miguel.

-How are you? -Hi, Julio.

Luckily, you haven't fled.

-Like the others. -No, I'm staying.

I like that.

Don't think about Spain.

We're too far away to be able to do anything.

As artists, our place is here, Miguel.

Go out on-stage, enjoy it,

and win them over.

Everyone!

Thank you very much!

Miguel! Miguel! Miguel!

Wait here until we can clear the way a bit.

And congratulations, you have undoubtedly been

the greatest hit of this festival.

Let's see, we're going to let

the artist pass. Clear the way.

Do you mind if I change the channel?

Among other things, we are still very aware

of what happened yesterday afternoon in Spain.

At 1:15 in the morning, local time,

King Juan Carlos intervened

on TV to order the withdrawal

of the civil guards

from the Congress of Deputies of Spain.

I confirm that I have ordered the civil authorities

and the board of chiefs of the state

to take all necessary measures

to maintain constitutional order within the law.

Because you're not perfect, I will love you.

I wrote that, thinking of my mother.

Despite everything, with your flaws and obsessions,

I will always love you.

Words I repeated to myself

that were still true so many years later.

Rio. What's up, Rio?

Hello. Hello. Come here.

-Hello. -You want water?

-Hello, Lucia. -Hi. How are you?

Have you eaten? There's lasagna in the fridge.

I'll have some. Want some, Miguel?

No. I'm not hungry.

It's very painful, Miguel.

I know that very well.

In addition to your brother, Lucas,

I had two miscarriages.

Over time, you will realize

that it was for the best.

Children can bind you.

And with your lifestyle,

how could you raise children?

Do you know how exhausting it is?

Do you?

Because Tata raised us.

You didn't have to worry that much.

I left everything for you. Everything.

You left everything for dad, not for us.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Go upstairs.

We had to cut off the water downstairs.

Why?

The pipes, I don't know.

They must be leaking water. They flood everything.

Didn't a plumber come to address everything in the house?

This must have been missed.

Well, I paid a fortune.

What do you want me to say? It's an old house.

What we have to do is tear this house down once and for all!

And I am completely serious.

You've gone mad, huh?

You will not dare to tear down your family's house.

Why not?

Every time I come back, I can't wait to leave.

When your father left us,

I made a lot of sacrifices

for this house. A lot.

I worked my fingers to the bone,

so you could grow up here.

-If it weren't for me... -And the sacrifices I've made?

That's what bothers me the most about you,

that you're unable to recognize anything in others.

Just as cruel as your father.

You enjoy making me suffer.

-Miguel. -Let go.

If I have children...

I don't want them to carry my mistakes

the way I've carried yours.

I'll start everything anew.

I won't even leave the foundations.
