Daniela Forever (2024) Movie Script
1
I would like to start...
right here.
Why here?
Because...
this is my first memory of you.
That's funny, I...
I thought we met later,
later, at the afterparty.
Did you come to my set?
I didn't notice you
at the club.
But I did.
-Huh.
-Nick, look.
Oh, really.
She looked at you again.
She's so shameless.
Is she one of Garrido's friends?
No, I've never seen her before.
I think he phoned her
after your set.
Oh, god, you're so lame.
You coming to Spain
isn't a good idea.
Back in Italy,
you have an artistic revolution
every ten years,
and the best thing of all is...
everything you do
is remembered,
honored, copied, you know?
Things happen here too,
but they quickly
get washed away.
And we Spaniards are always
the first to be ashamed.
You wouldn't believe
all the things we did
in the '90s,
nobody wants
to remember anymore.
Hey, genius!
How are you? Have you two met?
Nicolas is on my label.
I brought him to Madrid.
The ice hasn't come yet, has it?
No.
But I... I mean...
You just said that coming
to Madrid wasn't a good idea.
Yes, but, uh,
he doesn't know it.
Garrido...
You... you have this...
What was your name again?
Daniela? Daniela.
But, Garrido, your...
It's like your... your skin...
It's like you're...
you're in daytime.
I don't go around talking shit
about you, you know?
Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on a second. I'm confused.
This isn't how I remember this.
Did you make this part up?
I didn't say that
to him, did I?
Don't worry about it.
It doesn't matter.
Hey, there. Good evening.
This is me.
This is a nice house.
Thank you.
I mean, you're only missing
a terrace.
Not like your boss's.
Oh, for one, he is not my boss.
And two...
I don't really like terraces.
I was joking.
No, yeah. Um...
So was I.
You were so insecure.
Do you ever use vinyls
for your gigs?
I used to.
Not anymore.
Huh.
Isn't it like a sin
to DJ with your computer?
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
You were dying
for me to like you.
That is true.
I don't know. I don't know why.
I just...
...keep looking
for that sparkle.
But the sparkle
does not give me money.
So, I'm going broke.
And if I don't find something,
I will have to go back to Italy.
So, why don't you like Madrid?
Um...
You know, when I first arrived,
I thought there'd be more...
like sessions,
and recordings, and things.
I don't know what went wrong.
It kind of feels like...
I've been wandering
around this city
with my eyes half closed...
and I haven't
really found anything.
You found me.
You already felt like
you were falling in love
with me at full speed.
You kept it to yourself
like a secret.
And how are you
so sure about everything?
You're hearing my voice,
but I'm not here.
What do you mean?
Where are you?
I'm here.
And here.
And here.
And here.
I'm here.
If one day you feel sad...
you will find me here.
And here.
What do you think?
Does it make sense to you?
She's...
She's bathed in daylight,
like she's in the daytime.
Yes, yes.
She looks like daytime
even if it's nighttime
and her shadow goes
in a different direction.
She's like Garrido, right?
What?
She's in the daytime,
like Garrido.
What are you talking about?
No.
No, no, this is...
This is wrong.
Something's missing.
Daniela?
Daniela!
Are you there?
No. Not again.
The phone.
Answer the phone.
Just answer the phone!
No, no, no.
Please, please, please.
Just... just listen to me!
Answer it now!
Answer the phone, you idiot!
Answer the phone!
Nick!
Um...
Are you going to open the door?
Uh, yeah.
Come in. Just, uh...
just give me two minutes.
Okay.
I heard about that girl.
Oh, Teresa?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
She's, uh, uh...
We're actually gonna go see
each other next week, I think.
Are you okay with that?
Uh, yeah, we met
at the, uh, the funeral.
- Hmm.
- Um...
She's nice, actually.
Uh...
You stopped seeing
the therapist I mentioned.
Yeah, I did.
Um...
You know, it was kind of like
an uphill battle.
I wasn't really seeing
the results
that I... I wanted.
-So...
-Yeah, sure. I mean, I...
I understand.
Totally.
Um...
But I think, you know,
I'll go back.
If I go to London this, uh,
this fall, definitely.
I'm sorry I didn't
come over sooner, Nick.
Don't be.
I much prefer hanging out
somewhere else, anyway.
Yeah.
Victoria, you, uh...
You shouldn't worry about me.
We are so proud of you.
Not everyone knows how to deal
with such a tragedy, you know?
Uh-huh.
Hey, Nick.
Remember, we are here
for you, my friend.
Anything you need,
you know that.
Focus on that.
Yeah. I know.
If you want me
to find you gigs, I will.
If you want to keep resting,
then rest, as long as you want.
And, of course,
if you need to find now
a cheaper apartment,
I can give you a hand,
of course.
Mm-hm. Yeah.
Cheers.
Cheers.
The only person here
who deserves to be bitter
for the rest of his life
is the bastard
who was behind the wheel.
-Yeah. What's wrong?
-Okay, okay.
What's wrong? What's wrong?
-Come on. Come on.
-Sorry for telling it
like it is. No, no, no.
It was an accident, okay?
Sorry, but no.
No, no, no.
That was not an accident.
There is this thing
called responsibility.
Please, please, please.
Speak English.
Show some respect...
No, no, no.
Hey.
Oh, hey.
Here you go.
Coffee.
Perfect. Thank you.
You're welcome.
So, what's up?
Well...
You know about my divorce,
don't you?
Mm-hm.
I never really told you
how much it affected me.
You've always
seemed fine to me.
Last year, I went through
a treatment for depression.
A treatment
that I was not allowed
to talk about.
Hey, you never said anything.
A treatment I'm still
not allowed to talk about.
And what are you, uh...
what are you saying,
is it, like,
- something to do with work?
- Yeah.
It's a drug
the Belgians have developed
and we're helping them test it.
And you can't talk about it.
We're not talking about it.
Yeah.
- Right.
- Unless...
you give me permission
to have them put you
on the list.
You know how I feel
about anti-depressants.
- Because...
- Oh, no, no, no.
They're not
anti-depressants, Nick.
Do you know
what lucid dreams are?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
It's when you can dream
about anything you want.
You're aware of yourself,
at the present time.
Um...
You know that you're dreaming.
Okay, well...
I've heard certain people
can do it, sure.
Well...
The chemical compound we have
makes you have
the lucid dreams like this.
Instantly.
So you decide everything.
The dreams become
crystal clear, solid.
And you can remember them
perfectly.
You are being serious
right now, right?
The thing is...
We don't really know what it is.
What, what is?
I mean, we know what it does,
but we don't really know
what it might be for, what...
what the dangers might be
if this became available.
Okay, I mean, what would you...
what would you use it for?
Well, we've been studying this
for about a year
to see if there's
a therapeutic use,
and apparently, there is.
I mean... Therapeutic? But...
But what do you mean by that?
For example, in my case,
to get over
my emotional dependence.
My dreams were based on memories
from before being in that state.
- The first time...
- Oh, wow!
...I was asked to reconstruct
the first memory
in my entire life.
I was...
I was under
my parents' kitchen table.
And then?
Nothing.
Today, at this hour,
people only come
for one reason, eh?
-You come with me, please?
-Sure.
-I need your ID.
-Ah, yeah.
So you just need me
to sign this, right?
Like every page or just--
You have to read it all.
Very thoroughly. Really.
No, I understand. Like...
This is just
so I don't go around
telling people about it, right?
No.
That's the one
you've signed before.
Right, right, right.
It's where you agree
to follow instructions,
respect dosages, timetables,
and give us precise
and complete reports
after each of your experiences.
And how will you know
that I'm telling--
We will know.
Um, Nicolas.
This is
a very serious commitment.
And we will require
constant dedication.
So we would feel
more comfortable
if you think this through.
- No, of course, of course.
- All right.
How are you feeling?
All right. Feeling sleepy, huh?
- Pretty much so.
- Okay.
Well, wait until you're about
to fall asleep
because the more tired you are,
the better.
Um, and then you take it,
you wait a minute
and then you open it
and you read it calmly.
Okay. Um...
This is... This is, like,
the script, right?
Oh, no, it's not a script
because we don't want to force
a specific story on you.
It's just a description
of a space,
and it's very simple.
You'll see.
Hm. Great.
All right.
Then, we'll talk tomorrow.
Good night.
Oh, fuck!
Oh, no, no, no.
So?
Tell us.
I was a small kid again.
Right, so we'll put you
on treatment for one month.
Every night,
we'll send you an email
with the new proposal
and you'll read it
after you take the pill.
And we'll meet here
once a week, all right?
Hi.
Hi.
Do you know where we are?
Yes, of course.
Wow.
What is...
What?
Can you see this?
Daniela?
Daniela.
Where are you?
On my way
to the bus stop,
across from the supermarket.
No. No. No, no, no.
Dan... Daniela...
Just anywhere but there, okay?
Just stop!
I'm gonna come get you, okay?
Just don't move!
No.
Not the door as well.
Um...
What do I do? What do I do?
Okay. Just think.
When I open my eyes,
the door is gonna work.
Daniela.
Never leave my side again.
Hi!
Hi.
God. Teresa.
I...
I totally forgot
you were coming today.
Anyway, come in.
Oh, I, I sent you
a WhatsApp. Um...
Do you want a cup of tea
or a coffee?
Uh, yeah. Coffee.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
I've been working
at night, so, uh,
day times are
a little frazzled for me.
What an amazing apartment.
Thank you.
She did this.
Yeah, I know.
The shadows go
in different directions.
Hey, look. I'm, uh...
I'm sorry I didn't
recognize you earlier.
-Oh. No, no.
-Just, uh...
Don't worry. Um...
Something similar
happened to me.
Not... not with you.
With all the new people
I met at the funeral,
when I try
to remember their faces...
I mean, my...
my head has been
playing tricks with me too.
And my memory's shot,
and time...
I have no idea
what time is now.
Yeah.
Take a seat.
She did that too.
Yeah, she did.
I said I wouldn't get
any more tattoos, but, uh,
I wanted something
to remember her by.
I feel like getting one now.
But it should have been
my idea, right?
Or we can pretend
you didn't see it.
Yeah, let's do that.
Oh, wow.
Oh, that's so much better.
Much better.
What kind of music
should we play?
Something of yours.
Um...
Are you able
to answer something else?
Hidrogenesse.
Why didn't I think of that?
You know what?
Play Hidrogenesse.
Oh, this is...
This is unbelievable.
Should we go outside for a walk?
Yes.
Where are we going?
I don't know.
Wow.
What are you thinking about?
I don't know.
Tell me the first thing
that pops in your head.
I'm thinking that you're
asking me what I'm thinking.
What else?
I love Hidrogenesse.
I've never seen them live.
No.
No, I don't think you have.
Huh.
Can you see that?
Yes, of course.
What is it?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It looks unfinished.
Unfinished?
Like... under construction?
Actually...
You know, I don't think
I've ever seen
down this alleyway...
you know, in the daytime.
Daytime?
You mean now?
No, like when I'm awake.
I think I get it now.
What do you mean?
Everything I don't know
doesn't exist.
If I haven't seen it
with my own eyes,
this is what happens.
I don't understand
anything that you're saying.
It's okay,
you don't need to understand.
Just act like you don't care.
Okay.
Whoa.
I think I'm just gonna have
to walk around the city,
just looking
at every single detail to...
make sure that this,
this doesn't happen.
But it's kind of spectacular,
isn't it?
I don't care.
Huh?
Stop.
Oh, you can go.
That's something.
What are you thinking about?
Have we ever been
in here before?
Never.
Hold on a second.
Hi.
Nicolas.
What's up?
What are you...
What are you doing here?
With all the new people
I met at the funeral,
-when I try to remember...
-Okay.
-...their faces...
-Daniela, we should go.
My...
-Excuse me.
-Hi.
I recognize you.
Uh, I hang out
at the Radar Room a lot
and, and I've seen you DJ twice.
I love techno.
Uh, but... but I didn't know
you were still in Spain.
You... you haven't played
in a while, have you?
No, I mean, I haven't...
I kind of do
what I can these days.
I picked a cabin
up in the mountains
that, uh, I used to go to
with my college friends.
You know, it's strange
because I...
I was the age
that I am now, but...
they were the age
that they were back then,
you know?
Apart from
my one friend, George.
He kind of switched between
the old George
and kind of present-day George.
It happened a lot,
you know, in the beginning,
but then it kind of
became more stable.
That's normal.
I mean, it was...
a perfect experience apart
from that tiny glitch, and...
and the gray walls.
Mm. Sorry, you said
"gray walls"?
Yeah, yeah.
Uh...
The gray walls.
I think it was, you know,
certain parts of the forest
that I hadn't...
I hadn't been to or seen,
and I think it was
my brain's way
of kind of filling in the gaps,
you know, with...
with gray walls.
Interesting.
I can't believe
I never told you.
Seriously?
Yeah, it was like
my first-ever paid gig.
I would remember.
Well, it was only
for like three months,
from July to September.
But it was probably, like,
the greatest job I've ever had.
-And who were you?
-Dracula.
We could only be sort of,
public-domain monsters,
you know.
So, like a vampire?
Yeah, a vampire.
Yeah, but not Dracula.
Dracula is really old.
You were just
some generic vampire.
Oh, no, no, no.
Not just some generic vampire.
You know, I had the cape
and I had all
the aristocratic sort of attire.
I mean, he was
the Lord of Darkness.
Maybe I can...
I got it. Okay.
Oh, my god.
It's exactly as I remember it.
Do I care about this?
No.
You love it.
All right.
Come on.
Oh! It smells the same.
Oh, my gosh.
I've missed this guy so much.
I've never been
in a place like this.
Oh, that's...
That's perfect.
That's great!
But I don't feel like
doing this.
The Lord of Darkness!
Ah!
No?
That's the chainsaw!
I used to be so jealous
of the guy with the chainsaw.
He was at, like,
the end of the tour
and dressed as Leatherface.
Leatherface isn't
a public-domain monster.
Oh! Oh!
- Oh!
- Dracula with a chainsaw.
Stay still.
Um...
Okay. These are the books.
No.
Not the creepy doll.
Ooh!
Okay.
Give me five minutes, okay?
I'm gonna go inside,
I'm gonna find a hiding spot,
and then you come in.
-Okay?
-No.
No?
Why not?
I'm scared.
Well, that's kind of the point.
Go in with me.
But then I can't be a monster.
I can be a monster too.
Who can I be?
Um...
There's the possessed girl.
It was pretty scary.
The zombies were...
were pretty terrifying.
In fact, to hell
with public domain.
You could be any monster
you want to be.
A Cenobite.
The Babadook!
Carrie!
I wanna be a shark with a gun.
Get out of my waters,
you fucking tourists!
So...
What's the plan?
What should we do?
I don't know.
What do you wanna do?
I wanna go to a concert.
I...
It's funny because I actually
haven't been to that many.
Good.
No, but I...
I need to remember one.
Did you get the lyrics?
Most of the time
I understand Spanish,
but sometimes...
I just don't get it.
You okay?
I wish there was a deadline.
Like, you reach a date
and then you...
then receive a letter
that says...
"Thanks for trying,
that's enough."
What are you talking about?
I don't know,
I just get desperate sometimes.
I don't know for how long
I'm going to be an illustrator,
walking around
with this deep feeling that...
...that I'm a fraud.
I feel like...
I won't be able to rest
until I lose all hope,
completely.
Then I'll be happy.
No.
Don't think that way.
There's no point.
Okay.
Have you made any plans?
What do you mean?
Like, long term.
You always say
that you're passing through.
I'm not planning
on leaving anymore.
So you're going to stay
in Madrid forever?
Everything I want is here.
And what if I'm the one
who wants to go away?
Why would you want to go away?
Everything you want is here.
Nick!
- Hey!
- Hey, Catalina!
Hello, baby!
-Hey, Kike, genius.
-What's up, Garrido?
Hey.
You look so good.
I'm so happy for you.
-Thank you.
-Oh, great.
-Hi, Susi.
-Hm, hi.
Oh, it's good to see you.
You too.
-I haven't been here since...
-No, I know.
I know, I know.
I was a little scared,
to be honest with you.
It's all right.
Everything's great.
-Okay.
-Come.
-I brought some wine.
-Oh, thank you.
-Cheese.
-Yeah.
-Um, some glasses, right?
-Please.
Susi. No, no, no. Are you okay?
What's wrong?
I'm sorry.
I still think about her so much.
I know, I know.
We all do, we all do, okay?
Everybody.
Why don't you get out of here?
This is too painful.
You know you can stay
with me for a while
if you want, you know that?
-No, I know that, I know.
-Yeah?
I know, but...
We're fine, okay?
-We're fine here.
-What?
I said, I'm... I'm fine.
I'm... Okay?
I'm okay.
What is it?
Hey, it's... it's okay.
It's just that I've never opened
this book before, so...
I'll fix it.
Huh.
I've never seen
this one before.
Of course.
I'm drawing it now.
No, I didn't realize
you could do this sort of thing.
What, like drawing things?
No, like drawing new things.
What do you mean?
I'm just being silly, you know?
Ignore me.
Try to ignore me.
As I kiss you.
All over.
Let me just work on this
a little bit more.
Yeah?
Okay.
Was that okay for you?
Um...
Yeah, it was great.
Yeah?
Yeah, it was great.
But now I would prefer
another guy.
-Uh, okay.
-Mm-hm.
I always thought you'd...
Yeah, no, no, but... No.
Just for a change.
It's just for a change.
You were awesome.
It's fine, it's fine.
-A change?
-Yeah.
No, I get it. Um...
Well, what kind of guy?
Let me think.
Mm-hm.
-I have an idea.
-Mm-hm.
Okay, um...
Let me try this.
Huh.
Oh, no!
- I...
- Huh?
-How about that?
-Um...
-I like this idea.
-I just, uh...
-This is great.
-I just...
- Well, come on!
- I... I don't...
I, I don't... I don't know.
-What's wrong?
-I...
Would you kiss yourself?
Now?
Do I always sound like that?
Hi!
Hey!
Hey, how you doing?
What are you doing?
I was just wasting time
until you got here.
James Jean.
Daniela's favorite.
Yeah, he was.
I think it rubbed off on me.
Hm.
You look great.
Thanks.
Daniela,
come take a look at this.
Daniela?
Daniela?
Daniela, come here.
You... you have...
You have a... you have a...
Ah!
-Ah! Don't... Ah! Ah!
-Help! Help!
Stop!
I'm just gonna take this off
nice and gently.
Oh, my gosh.
You poor thing.
Um...
Cafetera Simal?
Was that where you were?
I've never heard of it before.
What?
Start.
Thank you.
Nicolas!
How did you know I work here?
Funny that. I...
I was kind of wondering
the same thing.
Did you ever... ever tell me?
Um, what?
That... that I work here?
Yeah, uh, you know.
Did you ever tell me that
in particular?
Um, I...
I don't think so.
Right.
Nicolas?
Uh...
No, that... that's all,
in fact, uh...
Yeah.
"Cafetera Simal", it...
it just sounded
so familiar, and...
Okay, bye.
Uh, come by any time.
So they made
four feature films.
The first one is called 1.0.
The second one, 2.0.
And the third one, 3.0.
And the fourth one
is not actually called 4.0,
it's called 1.0 + 3.0.
Hey, where were you
yesterday afternoon?
I was with Teresa.
She... she's working
at a family diner.
I was just keeping her company.
What did Teresa have to say?
She can't keep up
with everything she has to do.
But talking to her
really inspires me.
Inspires you in what way?
Like, work stuff.
What kind of work stuff?
You know, we always wanted
to open our own design studio.
And she also said
that we could start a Patreon
and post all the stuff
we've done together
-and some of my new work.
-Mm-hm.
Since I...
...moved to Madrid, I...
I don't know,
I just moved my portfolio and...
now it's been three years
and... I feel pretty lost.
Lost? Like how?
Like, it kills me
how much time I've wasted.
I'm sorry that you've wasted
so much time with me.
What? What?
No, I'm sorry I don't...
inspire you the way
that Teresa inspires you.
Are you jealous of Teresa?
No! No.
-You are, a little bit.
-No.
Not in the slightest.
Come on, Nicolas.
We broke up a long time ago.
-We're just friends.
-I... I...
You know, I'm happy you guys
are friends, that's... you know.
I'm dealing with it, it's great.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
Right, because if you want
to talk about it, it's okay.
I just...
-I just want you to be happy.
-I'm not a jealous man, okay?
We'll leave it at that.
I'm... I'm fine with it.
Okay, good, because...
I'm meeting her later.
Great.
No, that's good.
That's brilliant.
Okay.
You know what?
When I'm here with you,
I want you to be here with me.
Like here?
Like here, like...
here, in this... in this place.
Uh...
Um...
You know what,
just forget the conversation.
So they made four feature films.
The first one,
it's called 1.0--
Just not from right
at the beginning, maybe just...
You know what? Just forget
everything that we just said.
Taxi!
Good evening, couple.
Bye, I love you.
Buckle up, sweetie.
So, is there anything else
you would like to add?
Um...
No. Uh, nothing.
Victoria.
Hello.
Hi. Um...
I feel really stupid
kind of doing this.
Um...
But I really don't have
anyone else to talk to.
You know, here or...
Or awake.
I understand.
But there's no...
like, logical reason to believe
that this conversation
is, is real in any way.
-Right?
-Of course not.
Okay.
Good. Um...
Okay, this, um...
This place is growing.
The gray walls, they're...
they're like retreating.
Uh, they're growing
less and less.
I mean, they're...
they're disappearing.
I, I can walk down streets
that I've never seen before
in my life.
I understand.
How is this possible?
It is not possible.
Then what's happening?
Because I have no idea.
What about Daniela?
Yeah, no, Daniela...
I know Daniela's not real.
Okay? I know that she
is just like a collage of...
of everything that I remember
about her, but...
How can I put this? She's...
She's surprising me.
Did she not surprise you
when you were together?
Of cour--
No, of course, she did.
Well, then it's normal
that she'd surprise you here
if you remember her
just like she was.
Right, okay. Um...
That kind of does make sense.
But what...
But what?
She...
She does things, okay, that...
that hasn't come from here.
What is the question, Nick?
Oh, god.
You know? Nothing.
Nothing. Um...
Because I know you're just
a figment of my imagination.
You know? I know
that anything you tell me...
It's like I'm...
I've, I've said it to myself,
- so it doesn't matter.
- Okay.
Okay, then if...
If this place is growing,
maybe I could give you
a genuine answer.
Can you?
Well, if this place
is getting more and more solid,
isn't that great news?
Isn't that the best thing
that could ever happen to you?
Yeah, no, it...
Of course. Um...
If all of this
is happening, then...
Then this place...
Is that what's happening?
That this place
is becoming real?
Are you okay with that?
I mean, moving the sun
and all that.
Clapping twice and I show up.
Organizing what Daniela
can remember and what she can't.
No, it's...
I... I don't want to...
I don't want to
control her like that.
Um...
What can I do?
Let it go.
Let it go?
Yeah.
All that superpower number,
just let it go.
Do as I do.
Hold out your arms.
Like this.
Take a deep breath in.
And say...
No more.
Like now?
Yeah, why not?
Well, uh...
- Hey.
- Hey.
Who were you talking to?
Uh, nobody.
Mm-hm.
You okay?
Yeah.
I think I'm good.
What's wrong?
What did you want to ask me?
That's what I was
going to ask you.
What's wrong?
I had a meeting
at the clinic.
Normally,
they'd contact you directly,
but... someone showed me respect
and came to me first.
Everyone knows that I'm the one
who got you into this treatment.
Victoria, what are you...
what are you talking about?
Well, they had
their doubts before,
but now they're convinced
that you're skipping
the treatment
and making up the reports.
Why would I make up the reports?
That makes... that makes
no sense at all.
Then I don't know
how I'll be able to help you.
Help me with what?
How would you help me?
Are they stopping
the treatment?
Nicolas, helping you
means reassuring them
and convincing them
not to take legal action.
They're already stopping
the treatment.
What?
Nick, either
you did not take the pills
or you took the pills
and dreamt about
whatever you wanted.
Victoria, something amazing
has happened.
What have you been doing?
I, I will tell you everything.
Okay? I'll explain
-from the beginning.
-What have you been dreaming?
Nick, what have you
been dreaming?
Daniela.
This won't be easy to fix, Nick.
This treatment was
supposed to help you
overcome emotional dependency.
And you've used it to...
to make it grow even more.
Hey.
Are you okay?
No, I don't think so.
What happened? What's wrong?
Nicolas...
there is something going on.
What?
I need... I need
to talk about it
because I want to be honest
with you.
You deserve it.
-Was it something that I did?
-No.
No, no, no. It's... it's...
It's actually the opposite.
It's me. Um...
Then tell me.
You're the first person
I've ever told this.
What is it?
Just... just tell me.
This is so hard. I'm sorry.
Daniela, tell me.
I don't know...
-I... I don't know what it is.
-Uh...
All of a sudden,
I'm just scared
-this is not right.
-Fast forward.
I'm really sorry.
No, no.
It's too far. Just...
I think I'm still in love
with Teresa.
-What?
-I... I don't know.
I don't know,
but I... I'm just...
How can you just tell a guy
like that out of the blue?
You know, it's...
It's not that we've been
flirting. It's not that.
I would never do that to you.
I... I feel awful.
This doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, no, it doesn't.
But it's... it's true.
No, no. It...
It doesn't make sense here.
This can't be happening
because...
No, especially now.
I don't have much time
with you left.
What?
I can't afford
to deal with this right now.
I don't understand anything--
Do you still love me?
-Yes, of course.
-Okay, good, good, good.
Just... just hold on
to that, okay?
Erase everything else.
I just had a great idea
for lunch.
Hey, Victoria.
Hi.
Hi. Um...
Listen, I won't lie to you.
It was hard,
but they finally said
they won't take legal action.
Thank you.
That's great news.
But you have to go in tomorrow
and explain to them
what happened.
Of course.
And sign a new
confidentiality agreement.
They sent you an email,
and I'd appreciate it
if you answered right away.
Anything they need.
I'll do it.
You also have to take
them the pill you have left .
They know you have
one pill left, Nicolas.
They're not stupid.
Nicolas, please.
Victoria, look...
I'm sorry about everything,
you know.
Thank you.
Bye.
-Hey.
-Hey.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Couldn't be better.
You can tell me.
Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
I can?
Yes.
You know what?
What do you want to do?
I don't know.
What do you want to do?
I want to do
what you want to do.
Um...
I want to dance.
That is a good suggestion.
We should dance.
-Let's go.
-Yeah.
What is that?
Doesn't matter.
You know what?
We shouldn't be wasting time
in a taxi.
I'm going to try something.
I have an idea.
An idea for what?
Where are we?
We've got to go this way.
Excuse me?
Who are you?
Where are you coming from?
Run!
Hey! Hey!
Hey, listen. There's a couple
loose in the building.
They're running up the stairs!
Come on! First floor!
Nicolas. Nicolas. Nicolas.
Explain this to me. Nicolas!
What are we doing?
Freeze!
Don't move!
Oh, god.
They're here. Both of them.
Put down the gun, okay? Um...
Remember.
You... you love techno.
Oh, yes!
I love techno!
Well, I don't.
Get down on the floor!
Can everybody just...
just calm down?
The young lady
is going to do what I say.
And so are you!
The police are already
on their way.
Nicolas!
I'm scared. I'm scared.
Don't be scared.
We're monsters.
And this is what
we get paid to do.
A shark with a gun
and Dracula with a chainsaw?
He is a generic vampire!
Give me the pills!
Oh, my god.
I can't believe
we just did that.
I need to tell you something,
okay?
I know you're real.
Okay? And if you're real,
then these are real.
I don't know
what's going to happen next,
I don't know where I'm heading,
but what I do know is...
I never want to leave you again.
What? What is this?
This is all I got.
Hello, this is Dr. Vermeiren.
I'm calling you again.
Please, Nicolas,
give us a call back
as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Nick, it's Victoria.
They've been trying
to reach you all day.
Please, call me back.
I'm getting scared here.
Okay? Bye.
Oh, fuck.
Morning!
Daniela?
Oh, my god.
I'm back!
Oh!
Oh!
Daniela.
Oh, I've missed you.
Oh.
Hello.
Where are you going?
I'm seeing Teresa.
Oh, no, no. No.
Uh...
Um, you can't see Teresa.
What did you just say?
You can't see Teresa
'cause you...
you don't know her.
You've never met her.
Have a look at this.
-Yeah, it's my notebook.
-No, but take a look.
Okay.
Huh.
How did this...
Look at the front cover.
-I...
-Come with me.
Come on.
You're one of the most
famous artists in the world.
And all of this
is for your opening exhibition.
When is it?
Right now.
You look great.
Daniela.
You're here. Welcome.
Come, the press is waiting.
We have ten minutes.
And then we'll make
the opening official, okay?
Come on.
It's conceptual art.
You know, the repetition
of an artistic resource.
Like techno.
Pretty tacky, if you ask me.
Repeating the same painting?
What's the problem?
They couldn't fill the walls?
I'm trying my best here, guys.
Excuse me, Daniela.
Here, here.
Um, and how would you describe
your career up to this point?
I actually have no idea.
It's very impressive.
I'm sorry.
I'm... I'm just not used to...
to this kind of feedback.
I thought you worked
with a computer,
but as soon as I saw
the originals,
well, it took my breath away.
Daniela?
What...
What is this?
Excuse me?
I... I...
I saw it on the news today
and I... I called you,
but you didn't answer
and then they...
They... they almost
didn't let me in.
What... what is all this? I...
What... Why didn't you say
anything to me? I...
I don't understand.
I'm sorry.
Have we met?
Da... Daniela?
What's wrong with you?
I'm sorry, I think you've got
the wrong person.
Da...
Nicolas.
Who is she?
You don't exist anymore.
Nicolas, where are we going?
We're gonna go home, okay?
You know what?
We're gonna go somewhere
even better.
Garrido.
Take a hike.
What the fuck?
This isn't
your apartment anymore.
-How... how did you...
-Disappear.
I'm sorry.
I think you should forget
about everything from today.
What are we doing here?
We live here now.
You said you loved the place.
What's wrong?
Why am I dressed like this?
What do you remember?
What do you know?
I'm your girlfriend.
What else?
I don't know.
What a surprise!
Give me a sec,
I... I just opened.
Um, is today a holiday
or something?
There was hardly anyone
on the street.
And not many cars.
Hey, what's wrong?
I came here to apologize to you.
What... what for?
If Daniela had never met me...
she wouldn't have been
on that street that morning.
Okay? She would still be alive.
She'd still be here.
Nicolas.
Why are you saying that?
It doesn't make any sense.
Because if this is your fault,
then it's everyone's.
Look...
I shouldn't have meddled
in your lives.
You didn't meddle in our lives.
Things between us
went to shit long before that.
What happened between you two?
Um...
I'm not very proud
of the kind of person I was.
What kind of person were you?
When... when we broke up,
I... I hated her guts.
And when I heard about you,
I hated you too.
I...
I called her all the time.
I created fake accounts
just to insult her online.
I turned all our friends
against her. I'm...
that kind of person.
And I never...
I never had the courage to...
to tell her I was sorry,
to say that...
that I was so happy for her,
that I loved seeing her happy
even if it was far away from me.
She left this world
afraid of me.
No. No.
That's not true, okay?
She was never afraid of you.
You have to trust me on that.
Teresa, look at you.
It's like it's nighttime.
You too.
What do you think
Daniela was trying to say
about people like us?
Okay.
I've come to a decision.
But first I have to apologize
to you guys, 'cause...
You exist.
Okay?
And you exist.
Look, I'm really sorry
I stole your apartment.
Okay?
No more.
Daniela?
Daniela!
No, this is... This is wrong.
No. No.
No.
The number you have dialed
is not in service.
Please, try again.
Okay, okay.
Susi, Susi, Susi.
Okay.
Hi!
Hey, Susi is, um...
is Daniela with you?
Uh, what?
How is she?
How... how's Daniela?
Why are you asking me that?
Susi, just... just...
just answer the question, okay?
How's Daniela?
Nicolas, please,
you're scaring me, okay?
Don't move.
I'm coming by, okay?
This is wrong. This is...
This is wrong.
This is all wrong.
This is all fucking...
fucking wrong, okay?
When I said "no more,"
I didn't mean
"no more" like this,
I didn't mean go back to here!
Okay. I just...
This isn't what I...
I don't want this!
This... Okay. No, no, no.
I made a mistake.
Okay, I made a mistake.
I made a mistake.
Okay, just...
Just calm down, just calm down.
Okay. Just calm...
Relax, relax. Just calm down...
Okay.
When I open my eyes...
Daniela's gonna be back with me.
Okay? Daniela's gonna be
here with me.
Play music.
Play music!
Just please... Uh, uh...
Hidrogenesse. Please...
Just play music!
Just play me some music!
Please!
Just play...
Taxi!
Sorry, do you speak English?
Don't worry,
I know where you want to go.
Faster.
Goodbye!
Victoria.
Nick.
I need your help.
I need your help again.
Tell me.
Everything... everything is...
upside down.
Okay? Everything's
just turning around.
Here is there...
There is here, and...
I...
I'm sorry. I just screwed it up.
I've screwed up this place
and I've screwed up there and...
And now there's nothing...
There's nothing
I can do anymore.
There's nothing you can do?
Are you sure?
I'm just...
I'm just back to my...
my old stupid self now.
You're not stupid, Nick.
In fact...
you're the one
who can solve this.
Just dream it.
What do you...
What do you mean?
You can dream what you want.
But I don't...
I don't know what I want.
Yes, you do.
It's all here.
Who wrote this?
You did.
This is what I want.
Okay.
I'd like to start...
right here.
Daniela?
Hm?
I would like to start...
right here.
Why here?
Because...
this is my first memory of you.
That's funny, I...
I thought we met later,
later, at the afterparty.
Did you come to my set?
I didn't notice you
at the club.
But I did.
-Huh.
-Nick, look.
Oh, really.
She looked at you again.
She's so shameless.
Is she one of Garrido's friends?
No, I've never seen her before.
I think he phoned her
after your set.
Oh, god, you're so lame.
You coming to Spain
isn't a good idea.
Back in Italy,
you have an artistic revolution
every ten years,
and the best thing of all is...
everything you do
is remembered,
honored, copied, you know?
Things happen here too,
but they quickly
get washed away.
And we Spaniards are always
the first to be ashamed.
You wouldn't believe
all the things we did
in the '90s,
nobody wants
to remember anymore.
Hey, genius!
How are you? Have you two met?
Nicolas is on my label.
I brought him to Madrid.
The ice hasn't come yet, has it?
No.
But I... I mean...
You just said that coming
to Madrid wasn't a good idea.
Yes, but, uh,
he doesn't know it.
Garrido...
You... you have this...
What was your name again?
Daniela? Daniela.
But, Garrido, your...
It's like your... your skin...
It's like you're...
you're in daytime.
I don't go around talking shit
about you, you know?
Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on a second. I'm confused.
This isn't how I remember this.
Did you make this part up?
I didn't say that
to him, did I?
Don't worry about it.
It doesn't matter.
Hey, there. Good evening.
This is me.
This is a nice house.
Thank you.
I mean, you're only missing
a terrace.
Not like your boss's.
Oh, for one, he is not my boss.
And two...
I don't really like terraces.
I was joking.
No, yeah. Um...
So was I.
You were so insecure.
Do you ever use vinyls
for your gigs?
I used to.
Not anymore.
Huh.
Isn't it like a sin
to DJ with your computer?
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
You were dying
for me to like you.
That is true.
I don't know. I don't know why.
I just...
...keep looking
for that sparkle.
But the sparkle
does not give me money.
So, I'm going broke.
And if I don't find something,
I will have to go back to Italy.
So, why don't you like Madrid?
Um...
You know, when I first arrived,
I thought there'd be more...
like sessions,
and recordings, and things.
I don't know what went wrong.
It kind of feels like...
I've been wandering
around this city
with my eyes half closed...
and I haven't
really found anything.
You found me.
You already felt like
you were falling in love
with me at full speed.
You kept it to yourself
like a secret.
And how are you
so sure about everything?
You're hearing my voice,
but I'm not here.
What do you mean?
Where are you?
I'm here.
And here.
And here.
And here.
I'm here.
If one day you feel sad...
you will find me here.
And here.
What do you think?
Does it make sense to you?
She's...
She's bathed in daylight,
like she's in the daytime.
Yes, yes.
She looks like daytime
even if it's nighttime
and her shadow goes
in a different direction.
She's like Garrido, right?
What?
She's in the daytime,
like Garrido.
What are you talking about?
No.
No, no, this is...
This is wrong.
Something's missing.
Daniela?
Daniela!
Are you there?
No. Not again.
The phone.
Answer the phone.
Just answer the phone!
No, no, no.
Please, please, please.
Just... just listen to me!
Answer it now!
Answer the phone, you idiot!
Answer the phone!
Nick!
Um...
Are you going to open the door?
Uh, yeah.
Come in. Just, uh...
just give me two minutes.
Okay.
I heard about that girl.
Oh, Teresa?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
She's, uh, uh...
We're actually gonna go see
each other next week, I think.
Are you okay with that?
Uh, yeah, we met
at the, uh, the funeral.
- Hmm.
- Um...
She's nice, actually.
Uh...
You stopped seeing
the therapist I mentioned.
Yeah, I did.
Um...
You know, it was kind of like
an uphill battle.
I wasn't really seeing
the results
that I... I wanted.
-So...
-Yeah, sure. I mean, I...
I understand.
Totally.
Um...
But I think, you know,
I'll go back.
If I go to London this, uh,
this fall, definitely.
I'm sorry I didn't
come over sooner, Nick.
Don't be.
I much prefer hanging out
somewhere else, anyway.
Yeah.
Victoria, you, uh...
You shouldn't worry about me.
We are so proud of you.
Not everyone knows how to deal
with such a tragedy, you know?
Uh-huh.
Hey, Nick.
Remember, we are here
for you, my friend.
Anything you need,
you know that.
Focus on that.
Yeah. I know.
If you want me
to find you gigs, I will.
If you want to keep resting,
then rest, as long as you want.
And, of course,
if you need to find now
a cheaper apartment,
I can give you a hand,
of course.
Mm-hm. Yeah.
Cheers.
Cheers.
The only person here
who deserves to be bitter
for the rest of his life
is the bastard
who was behind the wheel.
-Yeah. What's wrong?
-Okay, okay.
What's wrong? What's wrong?
-Come on. Come on.
-Sorry for telling it
like it is. No, no, no.
It was an accident, okay?
Sorry, but no.
No, no, no.
That was not an accident.
There is this thing
called responsibility.
Please, please, please.
Speak English.
Show some respect...
No, no, no.
Hey.
Oh, hey.
Here you go.
Coffee.
Perfect. Thank you.
You're welcome.
So, what's up?
Well...
You know about my divorce,
don't you?
Mm-hm.
I never really told you
how much it affected me.
You've always
seemed fine to me.
Last year, I went through
a treatment for depression.
A treatment
that I was not allowed
to talk about.
Hey, you never said anything.
A treatment I'm still
not allowed to talk about.
And what are you, uh...
what are you saying,
is it, like,
- something to do with work?
- Yeah.
It's a drug
the Belgians have developed
and we're helping them test it.
And you can't talk about it.
We're not talking about it.
Yeah.
- Right.
- Unless...
you give me permission
to have them put you
on the list.
You know how I feel
about anti-depressants.
- Because...
- Oh, no, no, no.
They're not
anti-depressants, Nick.
Do you know
what lucid dreams are?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
It's when you can dream
about anything you want.
You're aware of yourself,
at the present time.
Um...
You know that you're dreaming.
Okay, well...
I've heard certain people
can do it, sure.
Well...
The chemical compound we have
makes you have
the lucid dreams like this.
Instantly.
So you decide everything.
The dreams become
crystal clear, solid.
And you can remember them
perfectly.
You are being serious
right now, right?
The thing is...
We don't really know what it is.
What, what is?
I mean, we know what it does,
but we don't really know
what it might be for, what...
what the dangers might be
if this became available.
Okay, I mean, what would you...
what would you use it for?
Well, we've been studying this
for about a year
to see if there's
a therapeutic use,
and apparently, there is.
I mean... Therapeutic? But...
But what do you mean by that?
For example, in my case,
to get over
my emotional dependence.
My dreams were based on memories
from before being in that state.
- The first time...
- Oh, wow!
...I was asked to reconstruct
the first memory
in my entire life.
I was...
I was under
my parents' kitchen table.
And then?
Nothing.
Today, at this hour,
people only come
for one reason, eh?
-You come with me, please?
-Sure.
-I need your ID.
-Ah, yeah.
So you just need me
to sign this, right?
Like every page or just--
You have to read it all.
Very thoroughly. Really.
No, I understand. Like...
This is just
so I don't go around
telling people about it, right?
No.
That's the one
you've signed before.
Right, right, right.
It's where you agree
to follow instructions,
respect dosages, timetables,
and give us precise
and complete reports
after each of your experiences.
And how will you know
that I'm telling--
We will know.
Um, Nicolas.
This is
a very serious commitment.
And we will require
constant dedication.
So we would feel
more comfortable
if you think this through.
- No, of course, of course.
- All right.
How are you feeling?
All right. Feeling sleepy, huh?
- Pretty much so.
- Okay.
Well, wait until you're about
to fall asleep
because the more tired you are,
the better.
Um, and then you take it,
you wait a minute
and then you open it
and you read it calmly.
Okay. Um...
This is... This is, like,
the script, right?
Oh, no, it's not a script
because we don't want to force
a specific story on you.
It's just a description
of a space,
and it's very simple.
You'll see.
Hm. Great.
All right.
Then, we'll talk tomorrow.
Good night.
Oh, fuck!
Oh, no, no, no.
So?
Tell us.
I was a small kid again.
Right, so we'll put you
on treatment for one month.
Every night,
we'll send you an email
with the new proposal
and you'll read it
after you take the pill.
And we'll meet here
once a week, all right?
Hi.
Hi.
Do you know where we are?
Yes, of course.
Wow.
What is...
What?
Can you see this?
Daniela?
Daniela.
Where are you?
On my way
to the bus stop,
across from the supermarket.
No. No. No, no, no.
Dan... Daniela...
Just anywhere but there, okay?
Just stop!
I'm gonna come get you, okay?
Just don't move!
No.
Not the door as well.
Um...
What do I do? What do I do?
Okay. Just think.
When I open my eyes,
the door is gonna work.
Daniela.
Never leave my side again.
Hi!
Hi.
God. Teresa.
I...
I totally forgot
you were coming today.
Anyway, come in.
Oh, I, I sent you
a WhatsApp. Um...
Do you want a cup of tea
or a coffee?
Uh, yeah. Coffee.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
I've been working
at night, so, uh,
day times are
a little frazzled for me.
What an amazing apartment.
Thank you.
She did this.
Yeah, I know.
The shadows go
in different directions.
Hey, look. I'm, uh...
I'm sorry I didn't
recognize you earlier.
-Oh. No, no.
-Just, uh...
Don't worry. Um...
Something similar
happened to me.
Not... not with you.
With all the new people
I met at the funeral,
when I try
to remember their faces...
I mean, my...
my head has been
playing tricks with me too.
And my memory's shot,
and time...
I have no idea
what time is now.
Yeah.
Take a seat.
She did that too.
Yeah, she did.
I said I wouldn't get
any more tattoos, but, uh,
I wanted something
to remember her by.
I feel like getting one now.
But it should have been
my idea, right?
Or we can pretend
you didn't see it.
Yeah, let's do that.
Oh, wow.
Oh, that's so much better.
Much better.
What kind of music
should we play?
Something of yours.
Um...
Are you able
to answer something else?
Hidrogenesse.
Why didn't I think of that?
You know what?
Play Hidrogenesse.
Oh, this is...
This is unbelievable.
Should we go outside for a walk?
Yes.
Where are we going?
I don't know.
Wow.
What are you thinking about?
I don't know.
Tell me the first thing
that pops in your head.
I'm thinking that you're
asking me what I'm thinking.
What else?
I love Hidrogenesse.
I've never seen them live.
No.
No, I don't think you have.
Huh.
Can you see that?
Yes, of course.
What is it?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It looks unfinished.
Unfinished?
Like... under construction?
Actually...
You know, I don't think
I've ever seen
down this alleyway...
you know, in the daytime.
Daytime?
You mean now?
No, like when I'm awake.
I think I get it now.
What do you mean?
Everything I don't know
doesn't exist.
If I haven't seen it
with my own eyes,
this is what happens.
I don't understand
anything that you're saying.
It's okay,
you don't need to understand.
Just act like you don't care.
Okay.
Whoa.
I think I'm just gonna have
to walk around the city,
just looking
at every single detail to...
make sure that this,
this doesn't happen.
But it's kind of spectacular,
isn't it?
I don't care.
Huh?
Stop.
Oh, you can go.
That's something.
What are you thinking about?
Have we ever been
in here before?
Never.
Hold on a second.
Hi.
Nicolas.
What's up?
What are you...
What are you doing here?
With all the new people
I met at the funeral,
-when I try to remember...
-Okay.
-...their faces...
-Daniela, we should go.
My...
-Excuse me.
-Hi.
I recognize you.
Uh, I hang out
at the Radar Room a lot
and, and I've seen you DJ twice.
I love techno.
Uh, but... but I didn't know
you were still in Spain.
You... you haven't played
in a while, have you?
No, I mean, I haven't...
I kind of do
what I can these days.
I picked a cabin
up in the mountains
that, uh, I used to go to
with my college friends.
You know, it's strange
because I...
I was the age
that I am now, but...
they were the age
that they were back then,
you know?
Apart from
my one friend, George.
He kind of switched between
the old George
and kind of present-day George.
It happened a lot,
you know, in the beginning,
but then it kind of
became more stable.
That's normal.
I mean, it was...
a perfect experience apart
from that tiny glitch, and...
and the gray walls.
Mm. Sorry, you said
"gray walls"?
Yeah, yeah.
Uh...
The gray walls.
I think it was, you know,
certain parts of the forest
that I hadn't...
I hadn't been to or seen,
and I think it was
my brain's way
of kind of filling in the gaps,
you know, with...
with gray walls.
Interesting.
I can't believe
I never told you.
Seriously?
Yeah, it was like
my first-ever paid gig.
I would remember.
Well, it was only
for like three months,
from July to September.
But it was probably, like,
the greatest job I've ever had.
-And who were you?
-Dracula.
We could only be sort of,
public-domain monsters,
you know.
So, like a vampire?
Yeah, a vampire.
Yeah, but not Dracula.
Dracula is really old.
You were just
some generic vampire.
Oh, no, no, no.
Not just some generic vampire.
You know, I had the cape
and I had all
the aristocratic sort of attire.
I mean, he was
the Lord of Darkness.
Maybe I can...
I got it. Okay.
Oh, my god.
It's exactly as I remember it.
Do I care about this?
No.
You love it.
All right.
Come on.
Oh! It smells the same.
Oh, my gosh.
I've missed this guy so much.
I've never been
in a place like this.
Oh, that's...
That's perfect.
That's great!
But I don't feel like
doing this.
The Lord of Darkness!
Ah!
No?
That's the chainsaw!
I used to be so jealous
of the guy with the chainsaw.
He was at, like,
the end of the tour
and dressed as Leatherface.
Leatherface isn't
a public-domain monster.
Oh! Oh!
- Oh!
- Dracula with a chainsaw.
Stay still.
Um...
Okay. These are the books.
No.
Not the creepy doll.
Ooh!
Okay.
Give me five minutes, okay?
I'm gonna go inside,
I'm gonna find a hiding spot,
and then you come in.
-Okay?
-No.
No?
Why not?
I'm scared.
Well, that's kind of the point.
Go in with me.
But then I can't be a monster.
I can be a monster too.
Who can I be?
Um...
There's the possessed girl.
It was pretty scary.
The zombies were...
were pretty terrifying.
In fact, to hell
with public domain.
You could be any monster
you want to be.
A Cenobite.
The Babadook!
Carrie!
I wanna be a shark with a gun.
Get out of my waters,
you fucking tourists!
So...
What's the plan?
What should we do?
I don't know.
What do you wanna do?
I wanna go to a concert.
I...
It's funny because I actually
haven't been to that many.
Good.
No, but I...
I need to remember one.
Did you get the lyrics?
Most of the time
I understand Spanish,
but sometimes...
I just don't get it.
You okay?
I wish there was a deadline.
Like, you reach a date
and then you...
then receive a letter
that says...
"Thanks for trying,
that's enough."
What are you talking about?
I don't know,
I just get desperate sometimes.
I don't know for how long
I'm going to be an illustrator,
walking around
with this deep feeling that...
...that I'm a fraud.
I feel like...
I won't be able to rest
until I lose all hope,
completely.
Then I'll be happy.
No.
Don't think that way.
There's no point.
Okay.
Have you made any plans?
What do you mean?
Like, long term.
You always say
that you're passing through.
I'm not planning
on leaving anymore.
So you're going to stay
in Madrid forever?
Everything I want is here.
And what if I'm the one
who wants to go away?
Why would you want to go away?
Everything you want is here.
Nick!
- Hey!
- Hey, Catalina!
Hello, baby!
-Hey, Kike, genius.
-What's up, Garrido?
Hey.
You look so good.
I'm so happy for you.
-Thank you.
-Oh, great.
-Hi, Susi.
-Hm, hi.
Oh, it's good to see you.
You too.
-I haven't been here since...
-No, I know.
I know, I know.
I was a little scared,
to be honest with you.
It's all right.
Everything's great.
-Okay.
-Come.
-I brought some wine.
-Oh, thank you.
-Cheese.
-Yeah.
-Um, some glasses, right?
-Please.
Susi. No, no, no. Are you okay?
What's wrong?
I'm sorry.
I still think about her so much.
I know, I know.
We all do, we all do, okay?
Everybody.
Why don't you get out of here?
This is too painful.
You know you can stay
with me for a while
if you want, you know that?
-No, I know that, I know.
-Yeah?
I know, but...
We're fine, okay?
-We're fine here.
-What?
I said, I'm... I'm fine.
I'm... Okay?
I'm okay.
What is it?
Hey, it's... it's okay.
It's just that I've never opened
this book before, so...
I'll fix it.
Huh.
I've never seen
this one before.
Of course.
I'm drawing it now.
No, I didn't realize
you could do this sort of thing.
What, like drawing things?
No, like drawing new things.
What do you mean?
I'm just being silly, you know?
Ignore me.
Try to ignore me.
As I kiss you.
All over.
Let me just work on this
a little bit more.
Yeah?
Okay.
Was that okay for you?
Um...
Yeah, it was great.
Yeah?
Yeah, it was great.
But now I would prefer
another guy.
-Uh, okay.
-Mm-hm.
I always thought you'd...
Yeah, no, no, but... No.
Just for a change.
It's just for a change.
You were awesome.
It's fine, it's fine.
-A change?
-Yeah.
No, I get it. Um...
Well, what kind of guy?
Let me think.
Mm-hm.
-I have an idea.
-Mm-hm.
Okay, um...
Let me try this.
Huh.
Oh, no!
- I...
- Huh?
-How about that?
-Um...
-I like this idea.
-I just, uh...
-This is great.
-I just...
- Well, come on!
- I... I don't...
I, I don't... I don't know.
-What's wrong?
-I...
Would you kiss yourself?
Now?
Do I always sound like that?
Hi!
Hey!
Hey, how you doing?
What are you doing?
I was just wasting time
until you got here.
James Jean.
Daniela's favorite.
Yeah, he was.
I think it rubbed off on me.
Hm.
You look great.
Thanks.
Daniela,
come take a look at this.
Daniela?
Daniela?
Daniela, come here.
You... you have...
You have a... you have a...
Ah!
-Ah! Don't... Ah! Ah!
-Help! Help!
Stop!
I'm just gonna take this off
nice and gently.
Oh, my gosh.
You poor thing.
Um...
Cafetera Simal?
Was that where you were?
I've never heard of it before.
What?
Start.
Thank you.
Nicolas!
How did you know I work here?
Funny that. I...
I was kind of wondering
the same thing.
Did you ever... ever tell me?
Um, what?
That... that I work here?
Yeah, uh, you know.
Did you ever tell me that
in particular?
Um, I...
I don't think so.
Right.
Nicolas?
Uh...
No, that... that's all,
in fact, uh...
Yeah.
"Cafetera Simal", it...
it just sounded
so familiar, and...
Okay, bye.
Uh, come by any time.
So they made
four feature films.
The first one is called 1.0.
The second one, 2.0.
And the third one, 3.0.
And the fourth one
is not actually called 4.0,
it's called 1.0 + 3.0.
Hey, where were you
yesterday afternoon?
I was with Teresa.
She... she's working
at a family diner.
I was just keeping her company.
What did Teresa have to say?
She can't keep up
with everything she has to do.
But talking to her
really inspires me.
Inspires you in what way?
Like, work stuff.
What kind of work stuff?
You know, we always wanted
to open our own design studio.
And she also said
that we could start a Patreon
and post all the stuff
we've done together
-and some of my new work.
-Mm-hm.
Since I...
...moved to Madrid, I...
I don't know,
I just moved my portfolio and...
now it's been three years
and... I feel pretty lost.
Lost? Like how?
Like, it kills me
how much time I've wasted.
I'm sorry that you've wasted
so much time with me.
What? What?
No, I'm sorry I don't...
inspire you the way
that Teresa inspires you.
Are you jealous of Teresa?
No! No.
-You are, a little bit.
-No.
Not in the slightest.
Come on, Nicolas.
We broke up a long time ago.
-We're just friends.
-I... I...
You know, I'm happy you guys
are friends, that's... you know.
I'm dealing with it, it's great.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
Right, because if you want
to talk about it, it's okay.
I just...
-I just want you to be happy.
-I'm not a jealous man, okay?
We'll leave it at that.
I'm... I'm fine with it.
Okay, good, because...
I'm meeting her later.
Great.
No, that's good.
That's brilliant.
Okay.
You know what?
When I'm here with you,
I want you to be here with me.
Like here?
Like here, like...
here, in this... in this place.
Uh...
Um...
You know what,
just forget the conversation.
So they made four feature films.
The first one,
it's called 1.0--
Just not from right
at the beginning, maybe just...
You know what? Just forget
everything that we just said.
Taxi!
Good evening, couple.
Bye, I love you.
Buckle up, sweetie.
So, is there anything else
you would like to add?
Um...
No. Uh, nothing.
Victoria.
Hello.
Hi. Um...
I feel really stupid
kind of doing this.
Um...
But I really don't have
anyone else to talk to.
You know, here or...
Or awake.
I understand.
But there's no...
like, logical reason to believe
that this conversation
is, is real in any way.
-Right?
-Of course not.
Okay.
Good. Um...
Okay, this, um...
This place is growing.
The gray walls, they're...
they're like retreating.
Uh, they're growing
less and less.
I mean, they're...
they're disappearing.
I, I can walk down streets
that I've never seen before
in my life.
I understand.
How is this possible?
It is not possible.
Then what's happening?
Because I have no idea.
What about Daniela?
Yeah, no, Daniela...
I know Daniela's not real.
Okay? I know that she
is just like a collage of...
of everything that I remember
about her, but...
How can I put this? She's...
She's surprising me.
Did she not surprise you
when you were together?
Of cour--
No, of course, she did.
Well, then it's normal
that she'd surprise you here
if you remember her
just like she was.
Right, okay. Um...
That kind of does make sense.
But what...
But what?
She...
She does things, okay, that...
that hasn't come from here.
What is the question, Nick?
Oh, god.
You know? Nothing.
Nothing. Um...
Because I know you're just
a figment of my imagination.
You know? I know
that anything you tell me...
It's like I'm...
I've, I've said it to myself,
- so it doesn't matter.
- Okay.
Okay, then if...
If this place is growing,
maybe I could give you
a genuine answer.
Can you?
Well, if this place
is getting more and more solid,
isn't that great news?
Isn't that the best thing
that could ever happen to you?
Yeah, no, it...
Of course. Um...
If all of this
is happening, then...
Then this place...
Is that what's happening?
That this place
is becoming real?
Are you okay with that?
I mean, moving the sun
and all that.
Clapping twice and I show up.
Organizing what Daniela
can remember and what she can't.
No, it's...
I... I don't want to...
I don't want to
control her like that.
Um...
What can I do?
Let it go.
Let it go?
Yeah.
All that superpower number,
just let it go.
Do as I do.
Hold out your arms.
Like this.
Take a deep breath in.
And say...
No more.
Like now?
Yeah, why not?
Well, uh...
- Hey.
- Hey.
Who were you talking to?
Uh, nobody.
Mm-hm.
You okay?
Yeah.
I think I'm good.
What's wrong?
What did you want to ask me?
That's what I was
going to ask you.
What's wrong?
I had a meeting
at the clinic.
Normally,
they'd contact you directly,
but... someone showed me respect
and came to me first.
Everyone knows that I'm the one
who got you into this treatment.
Victoria, what are you...
what are you talking about?
Well, they had
their doubts before,
but now they're convinced
that you're skipping
the treatment
and making up the reports.
Why would I make up the reports?
That makes... that makes
no sense at all.
Then I don't know
how I'll be able to help you.
Help me with what?
How would you help me?
Are they stopping
the treatment?
Nicolas, helping you
means reassuring them
and convincing them
not to take legal action.
They're already stopping
the treatment.
What?
Nick, either
you did not take the pills
or you took the pills
and dreamt about
whatever you wanted.
Victoria, something amazing
has happened.
What have you been doing?
I, I will tell you everything.
Okay? I'll explain
-from the beginning.
-What have you been dreaming?
Nick, what have you
been dreaming?
Daniela.
This won't be easy to fix, Nick.
This treatment was
supposed to help you
overcome emotional dependency.
And you've used it to...
to make it grow even more.
Hey.
Are you okay?
No, I don't think so.
What happened? What's wrong?
Nicolas...
there is something going on.
What?
I need... I need
to talk about it
because I want to be honest
with you.
You deserve it.
-Was it something that I did?
-No.
No, no, no. It's... it's...
It's actually the opposite.
It's me. Um...
Then tell me.
You're the first person
I've ever told this.
What is it?
Just... just tell me.
This is so hard. I'm sorry.
Daniela, tell me.
I don't know...
-I... I don't know what it is.
-Uh...
All of a sudden,
I'm just scared
-this is not right.
-Fast forward.
I'm really sorry.
No, no.
It's too far. Just...
I think I'm still in love
with Teresa.
-What?
-I... I don't know.
I don't know,
but I... I'm just...
How can you just tell a guy
like that out of the blue?
You know, it's...
It's not that we've been
flirting. It's not that.
I would never do that to you.
I... I feel awful.
This doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, no, it doesn't.
But it's... it's true.
No, no. It...
It doesn't make sense here.
This can't be happening
because...
No, especially now.
I don't have much time
with you left.
What?
I can't afford
to deal with this right now.
I don't understand anything--
Do you still love me?
-Yes, of course.
-Okay, good, good, good.
Just... just hold on
to that, okay?
Erase everything else.
I just had a great idea
for lunch.
Hey, Victoria.
Hi.
Hi. Um...
Listen, I won't lie to you.
It was hard,
but they finally said
they won't take legal action.
Thank you.
That's great news.
But you have to go in tomorrow
and explain to them
what happened.
Of course.
And sign a new
confidentiality agreement.
They sent you an email,
and I'd appreciate it
if you answered right away.
Anything they need.
I'll do it.
You also have to take
them the pill you have left .
They know you have
one pill left, Nicolas.
They're not stupid.
Nicolas, please.
Victoria, look...
I'm sorry about everything,
you know.
Thank you.
Bye.
-Hey.
-Hey.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Couldn't be better.
You can tell me.
Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
I can?
Yes.
You know what?
What do you want to do?
I don't know.
What do you want to do?
I want to do
what you want to do.
Um...
I want to dance.
That is a good suggestion.
We should dance.
-Let's go.
-Yeah.
What is that?
Doesn't matter.
You know what?
We shouldn't be wasting time
in a taxi.
I'm going to try something.
I have an idea.
An idea for what?
Where are we?
We've got to go this way.
Excuse me?
Who are you?
Where are you coming from?
Run!
Hey! Hey!
Hey, listen. There's a couple
loose in the building.
They're running up the stairs!
Come on! First floor!
Nicolas. Nicolas. Nicolas.
Explain this to me. Nicolas!
What are we doing?
Freeze!
Don't move!
Oh, god.
They're here. Both of them.
Put down the gun, okay? Um...
Remember.
You... you love techno.
Oh, yes!
I love techno!
Well, I don't.
Get down on the floor!
Can everybody just...
just calm down?
The young lady
is going to do what I say.
And so are you!
The police are already
on their way.
Nicolas!
I'm scared. I'm scared.
Don't be scared.
We're monsters.
And this is what
we get paid to do.
A shark with a gun
and Dracula with a chainsaw?
He is a generic vampire!
Give me the pills!
Oh, my god.
I can't believe
we just did that.
I need to tell you something,
okay?
I know you're real.
Okay? And if you're real,
then these are real.
I don't know
what's going to happen next,
I don't know where I'm heading,
but what I do know is...
I never want to leave you again.
What? What is this?
This is all I got.
Hello, this is Dr. Vermeiren.
I'm calling you again.
Please, Nicolas,
give us a call back
as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Nick, it's Victoria.
They've been trying
to reach you all day.
Please, call me back.
I'm getting scared here.
Okay? Bye.
Oh, fuck.
Morning!
Daniela?
Oh, my god.
I'm back!
Oh!
Oh!
Daniela.
Oh, I've missed you.
Oh.
Hello.
Where are you going?
I'm seeing Teresa.
Oh, no, no. No.
Uh...
Um, you can't see Teresa.
What did you just say?
You can't see Teresa
'cause you...
you don't know her.
You've never met her.
Have a look at this.
-Yeah, it's my notebook.
-No, but take a look.
Okay.
Huh.
How did this...
Look at the front cover.
-I...
-Come with me.
Come on.
You're one of the most
famous artists in the world.
And all of this
is for your opening exhibition.
When is it?
Right now.
You look great.
Daniela.
You're here. Welcome.
Come, the press is waiting.
We have ten minutes.
And then we'll make
the opening official, okay?
Come on.
It's conceptual art.
You know, the repetition
of an artistic resource.
Like techno.
Pretty tacky, if you ask me.
Repeating the same painting?
What's the problem?
They couldn't fill the walls?
I'm trying my best here, guys.
Excuse me, Daniela.
Here, here.
Um, and how would you describe
your career up to this point?
I actually have no idea.
It's very impressive.
I'm sorry.
I'm... I'm just not used to...
to this kind of feedback.
I thought you worked
with a computer,
but as soon as I saw
the originals,
well, it took my breath away.
Daniela?
What...
What is this?
Excuse me?
I... I...
I saw it on the news today
and I... I called you,
but you didn't answer
and then they...
They... they almost
didn't let me in.
What... what is all this? I...
What... Why didn't you say
anything to me? I...
I don't understand.
I'm sorry.
Have we met?
Da... Daniela?
What's wrong with you?
I'm sorry, I think you've got
the wrong person.
Da...
Nicolas.
Who is she?
You don't exist anymore.
Nicolas, where are we going?
We're gonna go home, okay?
You know what?
We're gonna go somewhere
even better.
Garrido.
Take a hike.
What the fuck?
This isn't
your apartment anymore.
-How... how did you...
-Disappear.
I'm sorry.
I think you should forget
about everything from today.
What are we doing here?
We live here now.
You said you loved the place.
What's wrong?
Why am I dressed like this?
What do you remember?
What do you know?
I'm your girlfriend.
What else?
I don't know.
What a surprise!
Give me a sec,
I... I just opened.
Um, is today a holiday
or something?
There was hardly anyone
on the street.
And not many cars.
Hey, what's wrong?
I came here to apologize to you.
What... what for?
If Daniela had never met me...
she wouldn't have been
on that street that morning.
Okay? She would still be alive.
She'd still be here.
Nicolas.
Why are you saying that?
It doesn't make any sense.
Because if this is your fault,
then it's everyone's.
Look...
I shouldn't have meddled
in your lives.
You didn't meddle in our lives.
Things between us
went to shit long before that.
What happened between you two?
Um...
I'm not very proud
of the kind of person I was.
What kind of person were you?
When... when we broke up,
I... I hated her guts.
And when I heard about you,
I hated you too.
I...
I called her all the time.
I created fake accounts
just to insult her online.
I turned all our friends
against her. I'm...
that kind of person.
And I never...
I never had the courage to...
to tell her I was sorry,
to say that...
that I was so happy for her,
that I loved seeing her happy
even if it was far away from me.
She left this world
afraid of me.
No. No.
That's not true, okay?
She was never afraid of you.
You have to trust me on that.
Teresa, look at you.
It's like it's nighttime.
You too.
What do you think
Daniela was trying to say
about people like us?
Okay.
I've come to a decision.
But first I have to apologize
to you guys, 'cause...
You exist.
Okay?
And you exist.
Look, I'm really sorry
I stole your apartment.
Okay?
No more.
Daniela?
Daniela!
No, this is... This is wrong.
No. No.
No.
The number you have dialed
is not in service.
Please, try again.
Okay, okay.
Susi, Susi, Susi.
Okay.
Hi!
Hey, Susi is, um...
is Daniela with you?
Uh, what?
How is she?
How... how's Daniela?
Why are you asking me that?
Susi, just... just...
just answer the question, okay?
How's Daniela?
Nicolas, please,
you're scaring me, okay?
Don't move.
I'm coming by, okay?
This is wrong. This is...
This is wrong.
This is all wrong.
This is all fucking...
fucking wrong, okay?
When I said "no more,"
I didn't mean
"no more" like this,
I didn't mean go back to here!
Okay. I just...
This isn't what I...
I don't want this!
This... Okay. No, no, no.
I made a mistake.
Okay, I made a mistake.
I made a mistake.
Okay, just...
Just calm down, just calm down.
Okay. Just calm...
Relax, relax. Just calm down...
Okay.
When I open my eyes...
Daniela's gonna be back with me.
Okay? Daniela's gonna be
here with me.
Play music.
Play music!
Just please... Uh, uh...
Hidrogenesse. Please...
Just play music!
Just play me some music!
Please!
Just play...
Taxi!
Sorry, do you speak English?
Don't worry,
I know where you want to go.
Faster.
Goodbye!
Victoria.
Nick.
I need your help.
I need your help again.
Tell me.
Everything... everything is...
upside down.
Okay? Everything's
just turning around.
Here is there...
There is here, and...
I...
I'm sorry. I just screwed it up.
I've screwed up this place
and I've screwed up there and...
And now there's nothing...
There's nothing
I can do anymore.
There's nothing you can do?
Are you sure?
I'm just...
I'm just back to my...
my old stupid self now.
You're not stupid, Nick.
In fact...
you're the one
who can solve this.
Just dream it.
What do you...
What do you mean?
You can dream what you want.
But I don't...
I don't know what I want.
Yes, you do.
It's all here.
Who wrote this?
You did.
This is what I want.
Okay.
I'd like to start...
right here.
Daniela?
Hm?
