Love Fail Repeat (2025) Movie Script
1
Does this sound familiar to you?
The days you press snooze eight times.
Fucking snooze.
Curacao.
I've lived here my entire life.
Sun, sea, living the good life.
Well, no. I'm late again.
I'll get all the annoying chores again.
And everyone will tell me
how disappointing I am.
Every new day seems like the last one.
And it's always a struggle to make it
through that day without much fuss.
The sun is shining,
the sky is blue...
and tonight is a special blood moon.
It's visible all over the island.
Honey, the kitchen drain
needs to be unclogged.
Ernesto wants you
to take care of that.
Yes? Sooner rather than later.
Emy?
-Mrs Doornbos.
Ernesto promised me
a 15 dollar discount.
I was wondering when I could get it.
At my age there's no time to wait.
I'm straight on it, but I...
-You know where to find me?
At the nude beach,
where you grope 20-year old men.
I may be old,
but this pussy cat is still naughty.
Ladies and gentlemen, as you know,
tomorrow is a very important day.
You finally get to show off
your well-hidden talents.
We have a wedding on the beach
followed by a reception with 150 guests.
But that's not why we are all so excited.
Emy, contrary to what you think,
but the rules also apply to you.
Tomorrow we will finally get celebrities
at our resort.
None other than the most famous
Dutch movie star: Nathan Levi.
He's here with Sofia du Monde
to promote his new movie.
And he's celebrating his 26th birthday
in one of our villas.
Thank you, Ernesto.
When I started 25 years ago,
I had my sight set on one goal.
Opening the most luxurious
and exclusive hotel...
for a price that everyone can afford.
Ernesto, who are my star players?
-First of all, Julia.
She's Nathan Levi's contact person.
She'll organise the press conference.
And as cherry on top,
she also gets to organise the birthday.
Nathan stars with his ex, Sofia,
in the new movie Love, Fail, Repeat.
The press conference will reflect
the movie: sun, sea and hot love.
And the birthday party,
post-modern chic.
Excellent.
-And the wedding?
The ceremony will take
on our gorgeous beach.
Colourful flowers will provide
a nice contrast with the azure blue sea.
And the evening party will be filled
with lights and romance.
How about you?
What's your contribution?
The kitchen drain is clogged.
And, therefore...
And?
-I'm going to unclog it.
Okay, and now with a bit more passion.
-Passion?
With more motivation,
just like your colleagues.
I'm going to unclog the kitchen drain.
-Feistier.
I'm going to unclog the kitchen drain.
-More.
I'm going to unclog the kitchen drain.
-More.
I'm going to unclog the kitchen drain.
-Come on.
I'm going to unclog the kitchen drain.
-Yes, very good. Keep that up.
I'm confident you will make tomorrow
an amazing day.
And remember:
We're not satisfied until our guests are.
Emy, do you have a moment?
Yes, Mum. What's wrong?
-What's with your attitude?
As my daughter,
you could show more motivation.
As your daughter, it's ridiculous I don't
get a chance to show what I can do.
I know what you can do, but you must...
-Earn the chance.
Mum, I can run this hotel
with four fingers up my nose.
Emy, I love you to bits,
but you can be a spoiled brat at times.
Badge.
Breakfast is from seven to nine
and the breakfast room is on the left.
Breakfast is from seven to nine
and the breakfast room is on the left.
Honey, what happened to you?
-You happened, as always.
Take a good whiff, Mum.
This is what it smells like at the bottom.
Why won't you and Ernesto
give me a chance?
You know very well that's not true.
I need to know
that you take our work seriously.
Really serious, just like me.
That you're willing to do anything.
You're still my sweetheart.
I thought I could do it, but you smell like
blue cheese on a wet dog.
Wipe your face.
-Yes.
Isn't a gazebo with flowers clich?
-Very clich, but aren't all weddings?
And like with romance and love,
it works.
But before you know it, you get dumped
for a ripped football player on Ibiza.
You lost me.
-Nathan got dumped by Sofia.
But it could just be a publicity stunt
for the new movie.
Sofia will do anything for attention.
Your mind is like
a non-stop show news reel.
It's very interesting, isn't it?
What's the matter?
-She finally spoke her mind.
Linda doubts
whether I take this work seriously.
Darling, that's why she's pushing you.
She wants to see
how much you can take.
That's just great.
-Well, look.
If Linda wants to see if you got what
it takes, do what she would have done.
You demand to do the Nathan Levi booking.
Yeah, right.
Yes, since I work here
you've given me jobs below my level.
Below your level?
I didn't know you could go lower.
I have a hospitality degree.
-Where your mum is on the board.
Listen, we both know
you will take over my job eventually.
Wait, is that what this is about?
-No, of course not.
But as long I'm General Manager,
you'll be treated like everyone else.
I don't want to hear another word.
Someone had the bright idea to put
egg salad sandwiches in the heat.
Two old-timers ate them
and the rest is...
I have to go. I have the wedding
to take care of. Thank you.
Everything under control?
-Yes, I got it.
You're lucky,
just helping around in the hotel.
How's the Nathan Levi booking going?
-Oh, God. Stressful.
You have no idea what I do every day.
It's a lot, an endless list.
I have it all under control, of course,
but I obviously have no time to eat.
Have a sandwich.
They are leftover anyway.
No, I have to...
-No, no, no.
Mum always said: 'To take care of
the guests you must take care of yourself.'
Did she say that?
Your mother is such a power woman.
Hot egg salad?
-Yes, it's an old family recipe.
You know, you're really not as bad
as most people here say you are.
Who is she? Who?
Oh la la, looks like today will be
the hottest day of the year.
And there's a beautiful blood moon.
I can explain.
It's not what it seems.
No? It looks like you're cheating again.
Celine. Turn it down a little.
It's still early.
Do you know what he did this time?
-No, and I don't care.
You won't leave him anyway. Let me
get some rest and turn it down, please.
Honey, please. I love you.
It was only once.
Go away.
-Jerry Springer the Musical.
Are you still in your peejays?
Come on.
Must you sit in the square centre?
-I see you're in a good mood.
Rough day yesterday.
-New day, new opportunities.
Have you met the new pool boy yet?
-Yes, you mean Enrique?
I hear he's a great singer.
-Yes, I talked to him about it.
Did you hear him?
-No, not yet.
See you later.
-Okay.
Emy? Emy?
-Mrs Doornbos. I didn't see you.
You should be less busy with yourself
and more with the guests, like me.
What can I do for you?
-How about taking care of my discount?
Yes, I'll take care of it right away.
-Really? That's great.
Oh, my God. He's almost here.
We have to go now.
Get a grip on yourself, fangirl.
-You're just a hater.
Let the rest of us enjoy this.
-Sure, do your thing.
I'll focus on the real work,
so you can drool over...
Nathan Levi.
He's so handsome. So divine.
Not now.
Impossible.
Are they really two hours early?
Don't stress, Ernesto. It's as bad
as smoking three cigarettes at once.
Don't you get that today must be perfect
or else we'll be fired?
You might not mind, but I'm too delicate
to work in a house of ill repute.
I bruise easily.
-Ernesto, why are you so worked up?
The amazing Julia likely has
everything under control.
What?
She can't talk to anyone like this.
-I'm feeling better.
I'll welcome Nathan Levi.
-No, wait Ernesto.
Look, I feel fine now.
No one comes near Nathan Levi.
-I'm sorry, Ernesto.
That was the craziest thing ever.
There's no one to welcome Nathan Levi.
-No, no, no, don't do it.
He's all by himself.
-Ernesto doesn't want that.
Honey, don't do it. He'll fire you.
One mistake and you're gone.
On behalf of The Rif, I welcome you.
-You're Julia?
No, I'm Emy. Julia is sadly indisposed,
so you'll have to make do with me.
Make do with you?
That's more service than I'm used to.
Not funny?
-I think it's safer if we go to your suite.
What about my luggage?
-They'll come later.
I'm sorry, my fans can be a bit intense.
What?
They're fans of a rom-com actor,
so you can't expect much of them.
Is this your first day or something?
-Why?
You seem to be out of your element,
but you don't meet a celebrity every day.
That could be the cause.
Now that I'm holding your hand,
I have the urge to scream and go wild.
Mr Levi, I'm Ernesto Grande.
-Nathan.
On behalf of The Rif,
I want to offer you a warm welcome.
It goes without saying
that we're all huge fans.
My personal favourite
is 'Bonaire Here We Come'.
Go.
-What?
The film is called
'Bonaire Here We Go'.
Here we go to your presidential suite.
-Let's go.
You're such a gorgeous man.
They'll all fall in love with you.
-I'm still not going to do it.
You have to, honey. You know that.
Do you know what I'm going to do?
-Sounds dangerous. Do tell.
I'll be polite. I'll sit next to her,
but I'll only talk about that movie.
They'll ask about Sofia's affair anyway.
-Then I won't answer them.
You know what, I'm going
to get a different suite for you.
Why?
-A seaside view.
Why?
-You should see yourself.
You're a fucking star.
Then do it for me.
Breakfast is from seven to nine
and the breakfast room is to the left.
Hi, what can I do for you?
-I'm Marit. Nathan's manager.
I'm not satisfied with Nathan's suite.
I was wondering what you can do about it.
Which suite did you order?
-The presidential.
You didn't get it?
-Yes, but I'm not satisfied.
With what?
-I'm sorry. You lost me.
Shouldn't you solve this?
-Calm down, Marit.
If you follow me, I'll arrange a suite
that suits your client's expectations.
I'll take you to the main reception,
where we can rebook...
You're late again.
Let's see, I believe there is...
No, here is fine. Follow me.
This will only take a moment.
Do you know how to do this?
-The computer is a bit slow.
I'm going to get someone
who can give me access.
Great.
Tess? Tess?
I must take care of Nathan Levi's room.
-Honey, you're sick.
I don't want to be. I must help Nathan...
-Don't worry. I'll take care of him.
You? You don't know what to do.
Who are all those people by the way?
How many paracetamol have you had?
-How many packs in a paracetamol?
Okay, why don't you sleep it off.
When you feel better, we'll go to Nathan.
Please tell me you didn't kill her?
-Of course not. I just laid her down.
I hope that will convince a judge,
but we need you.
Nathan's manager is not pleased.
I can't rebook rooms.
Can I have your login?
I don't know. If Ernesto finds out...
-Please.
I'm back again.
-Again?
I'll take care of it.
You'll be notified as soon as possible.
I'm going to get an espresso.
With espresso I mean vodka.
And with vodka I mean
a handful of anti-depressants.
Hello, Mr Levi?
-One moment.
I'm here to take you
to the press conference.
I'm coming.
I'm looking for my phone.
Everything alright?
-Coming. One second.
We must go now.
Having fun?
Let's go.
I thought you Hillywood types
enjoyed the limelight?
Hillywood?
-Hilversum.
Calling you Hollywood
is a bit of a stretch for you, isn't it?
You're right.
My life is not as great as it seems.
I have to work with my ex
and pretend to be madly in love.
You thought that was bad?
The last time I even had an ex was
when the B in Ali B stood for Bouali...
and not for, you know, Epstein.
-Wow. You're really bad.
If I were you I would do what I like
at the press conference.
What does it matter?
-A lot. The producers can fire me.
People aren't going to the theatre
to see your co-star.
I've seen her act. It's the same level
as NBC and TikTok, don't you think?
Perhaps you're right.
-You'll see.
And if it gets too much, visit me
and I'll punch someone in the face.
Deal?
-Deal.
Can you sort everyone by colour?
Green with green. Blue with blue.
Can you keep all the ugly people
in the kitchen away from the cameras?
Why?
-Because their faces make me sad.
Dear people, my name is Marit.
Welcome to the press presentation
of Love, Fail, Repeat.
And here's your It couple,
Nathan Levi and Sofia du Monde.
Adam Winter from Juicy Juice.
Sofia, what was it like to be
on set with Nathan again?
It was truly amazing.
Being on set with my Nathan
makes you feel like a Hollywood star.
Cute, but we really want to know...
what was it like to be on set with Sofia
after she cheated?
Nathan, any comments?
Being on set with Sofia felt familiar.
-I'm a bit disappointed by your reaction.
How does it feel to be humiliated
by the love of your life?
And finding out about it on my channel?
Didn't you want to crawl into a hole?
Listen.
-The juicier the details, the better.
How does it feel?
It must be humiliating.
Behave, man.
-What? It's what people want to know.
Everything alright here?
Adam was just done
with asking questions, right?
Sofia, what was it like to work with a man
who couldn't sexually satisfy you?
Any comment?
You were right.
I should have done that much sooner.
What did you say to him?
Really, Ernesto?
Get out of here.
Hi, honey. How are you feeling?
-Meh.
I get that. I'll drop by tomorrow, okay?
-Yes, that's sweet of you.
Try to get some sleep.
-I'm going to do my best.
My sweetheart.
-Good night.
Who is she? Who?
-Again?
Oh la la, looks like today will be
the hottest day of the year.
It's not what it looks like, okay?
-No? It looks like you're cheating again.
Celine, this is starting to get too much.
-Do you know what he did this time?
Yes, the same as yesterday.
You have to draw a line at some point.
Darling.
-What?
I love you. It happened only once.
Just leave.
You can't talk your way out of this.
Jerry Springer the Musical?
-You said that yesterday.
What are you on about? Let's go inside.
I don't want to get hit by a slipper.
Have you met the new pool boy yet?
-Ernesto will flip if he sees me.
Since when do you care?
-Since he fired me.
Quit the act.
I have a wedding and birthday arrange.
The wedding was yesterday.
-Emy?
Mrs Doornbos,
I've never been so glad to see you.
Yesterday you asked me
to get you a discount, right?
Yes, did you take care of it?
-What? No, that's not the issue now.
I need to hear from you
that we've done this before.
That's because I think I'm going mental.
-Honey, we've all felt that way once.
Really?
-We call it the slog.
The slog?
-Yes.
What did you do to break the slog?
-Darling, you need to find a new love.
Yes, we all feel much better
after a good shag.
Oh, my God. He's almost here.
We have to go now.
Okay, pay attention.
A stressed Ernesto is about to appear
to tell us that Julia has food poisoning.
Today of all days?
Not now.
Impossible.
Are they really two hours early?
Don't stress, Ernesto. It's as bad
as smoking three cigarettes at once.
Don't you get that...
-Let me guess. Julia has food poisoning.
She can't talk to anyone like this.
-I'm feeling much better already.
This is embarrassing.
Ernesto, you won't believe me,
but this happened yesterday too.
What? There's no one
to welcome Nathan Levi.
Emy can handle it.
Those Hollywood types will love her.
No, no, no. Everything but that.
-He's waiting.
I'll welcome Nathan Levi.
-No, Ernesto. Wait. Look.
I feel like my old self again.
Oh, sorry. Sorry, Ernesto.
I'm sorry.
-Emy, take over for Julia.
Ernesto, wait.
Go away.
-Ernesto, please...
That was the craziest thing
I've ever seen.
I can't do it.
You have to do this.
No, honey. I have a wedding to prepare
and I'm already late. I'm sorry.
On behalf of The Rif,
I warmly welcome you.
You're Julia?
-No, I'm Emy.
Stop joking. I'm not in the mood.
Okay, weird vibes, but whatever.
What about my luggage?
My life isn't as great as it seems.
I have to work with my ex
and pretend to be madly in love.
It can be a lot worse.
-What?
Something about Ali B and Epstein.
-What are you talking about?
Nothing. You need to clear your mind
and stop getting baited by journalists.
You think so?
Of course. Who cares what
a Juicy Juice reporter has to say.
Whatever happens, keep a cool head.
Perhaps you're right.
-I hope so.
Adam Winter from Juicy Juice.
Sofia, what was it like to be on set
with Nathan again?
Amazing. Being on set with my Nathan
makes you feel like a Hollywood star.
Cute, but we really want to know...
what it was like to be on set with Sofia
after she cheated on you?
Being on set with Sofia felt familiar.
I'm a bit disappointed in your reaction.
How does it feel to be so humiliated
by the love of your life?
Well...
And to find out about it on my channel?
Must be humiliating.
Listen...
-The juicier the details, the better.
Everything alright here?
Hello?
We're in the middle of an interview.
Can someone tip her,
so we can go on?
What are you up to?
-Trust me. I have to do this.
Nathan, answer my question.
What does it feel like
to be so humiliated?
Well...
-That's enough for now.
Mr Levi is our guest
and you don't get to treat him this way.
Let go, psycho.
-I'm just asking...
Have you lost your mind?
-What?
I'm just doing my job.
Is this all too exciting and confronting?
Are you happy now?
Of course.
Get out of here.
Who is she? Who?
Oh la la, looks like today...
Have you met the new pool boy yet?
Hello? Are you alright?
-Yes.
Okay. Just keep breathing, honey.
Emy...
-Mrs Doornbos, let me guess.
Your discount?
-How did you know I was going to ask that?
Because I know everything.
I'm omniscient and I'm going mad.
You're clearly dealing with something
intense, so I'll get back to you later.
Later? There is no later.
This is all a simulation.
Oh, my God. He's almost here.
We have to go now.
Welcome to The Rif.
-You're Julia?
Nice to meet you. Let's go to your suite.
-Nice welcome.
Listen, pretty boy. Today is not the day
to mess with me. I wish you a nice stay.
Let's go before your zombie fans get us
and I'm forced to use you as a shield.
What about my luggage?
-Fuck your luggage.
Are you alright?
-Am I alright?
I'm stuck in a loop. Today is yesterday
and no one seems to notice.
How do you think it's going?
-Our lives seem alike.
What? Are you also stuck in today?
-Every day in my life is the same.
Hotel in, hotel out. The same
stupid press conference questions.
Before you know the day is over
and then it starts all over again.
I didn't know super stars
had such a hard life.
It sucks that no one really talks to me.
I want to get the press conference
behind me.
No, don't go.
-I'm sorry?
The press conference... Just skip it.
It's kind of mandatory.
-No, not at all.
You're Nathan Levi. The Nathan Levi.
You should do what you want.
Perhaps you're right.
-Of course I am.
There you go.
-In the real world we pay for our drinks.
The real world sounds like
a horrible place.
Look at that. A big mouth,
but when it comes to booze...
I'll drink you under the table.
I didn't expect that a pink cocktail
would contain 90% alcohol.
Is this your first time here?
-On the island?
No, this island stole my heart years ago.
If I could, I would stay here forever.
How about you?
-Born and bred here.
Really?
-Yes, my mother runs the hotel.
Wow. That's great.
Working with your mother.
If standing in someone's shadow
sounds great to you.
Sounds delightful.
But?
-It's a long and boring story.
Okay, I won't ask anything.
-Good.
Did you always want to be an actor?
-No, certainly not.
I actually wanted to be...
-Go on, spill it.
I'm embarrassed to say.
-Now I have to know.
I wanted to be a dancer.
-That's not bad.
And a singer.
Can you sing?
-No, that's the problem.
I used to be a fan of Jantje Smit.
-Okay, that is a little embarrassing.
Do you even know how to dance?
-We'll never find out.
How the fuck do you lose someone?
It's not a cat or suitcase.
-I'm terribly sorry.
No, no. You will be really sorry later.
I was Anton's assistant for four months.
I know pencak silat, so I can take you
in a stranglehold when I want.
Sounds delightful, but unnecessary.
Our best people are looking for Nathan
and I know it will be fine.
Where the fuck were you?
-I was having fun with Emy.
Emy?
Get out of here.
Who is she? Who?
Oh la la, looks like today...
It looks like you're cheating again.
-I can explain.
Explain?
You're Julia?
Did you always want to be an actor?
-No, certainly not.
I actually wanted to be...
-What?
Not so shy.
-I wanted to be a dancer.
Can you dance?
-That's something we'll never find out.
Oh really?
Come here.
-No.
Yes.
-No.
Yes.
-What if someone sees me?
It must be horrible if someone finds out
that you're a real human being.
No, I can't do this.
Are you afraid?
-I'm not afraid.
You're not afraid? Let's go then.
-Okay.
Just follow my lead.
One, two, three.
Marit, what's up?
If you're not here in ten minutes
then you can find a new manager.
I'm on my way.
-I won't work for you again.
I'm sorry. I have to go.
-It's fine.
Adam Winter from Juicy Juice.
Sofia, what was it like
to be on set with Nathan again?
It was truly amazing.
Being on set with my Nathan
makes you feel like a Hollywood star.
Yes, that's cute...
but we want to know what it was like
to work with Sofia after her affair?
Nathan, any comments?
This film was more romantic
than my old work.
And it was a pleasure
to be on set with Sofia.
Oh, you expect us to believe...
the photos of Sofia with her toy boy
on the beach weren't an issue?
It certainly wasn't easy,
but Sofia and I are professionals.
That's a poor answer.
I know you were hoping
that I would say nasty things...
but I'm in a good space in my mind,
and I wish Sofia all the best.
Tell me what's going on with you?
-What?
Don't give me that. I saw you swoon
when Nathan looked at you.
I want details.
-There's nothing to say.
Nothing to say? Come on.
-No, I mean it.
Stop giving me that look.
Okay. He was tense,
so I settled his nerves.
You horny rascal.
-No, not like that.
Yes, you did.
-No, not at all.
Take her.
Are you serious?
-I'm sorry, it was a reflex.
You took it away from me.
-Honey, we should better call a doctor.
That sandwich.
Nathan was my job.
Sandwich?
-Long story.
Can you imagine that this is your life?
It seems great to me.
-Yes, really great.
We can turn it into a reality show.
Like the Meilandjes,
but not that agonisingly horrible.
Amazing. And we'll pretend to live
on a farm or such, but in high fashion.
Farmer Wants a Wife:
Hollywood edition.
Sounds great.
-You can show a bit more enthusiasm.
To make this break-up/make-up work,
you will have to play your part.
Are you serious?
-Did I say something wrong?
Sofia, I think that's the reporter
from the other Juice channel.
Perhaps he wants to interview you.
There are limits.
This is just another way
to keep the public interested.
Who says I want that?
-Your contract says that you want to.
More publicity means more money.
And that's what everyone wants, right?
At least that's what I want.
It's getting clearer
what really matters to you.
I've always only cared about
your creative integrity.
Sorry, I tried to keep a straight face,
but I just couldn't do it.
I can see that.
You know that I'm here
to get you paid, honey.
Just let me do what I'm good at
and you can do the rest.
Hard at work?
-Just like you want. Right, Ernesto?
Emy, you may think
that I have it out for you...
but your mother was
twenty times as hard on me.
Congratulations, you're only half as bad
as the worst mother in the world.
Well done.
-I know your mother better than most.
I can guarantee you
that she loves you more than you think.
It's still an hour and a half away.
-Want to go wild while you still can?
Go wild?
You have the wrong image of me.
I'm always a gentlemen.
-That's not what I've heard.
You do know how to throw a party.
-Marit took care of everything.
The people are just here for the show.
-That sucks.
On your birthday you should get to do
what you want, right?
Thank you.
That's really what a girl wants to hear.
No, I meant for the entire day.
It's been a long time
since I felt so normal and happy.
Did you make these?
-Yes, I did.
You're really good.
The admission board in Amsterdam
thought it was safe and predictable, so...
Amsterdam?
-The Art Academy.
My father lives in the De Pijp district.
I've always lived here with my mother.
She didn't think it was a good decision
that I went there.
She said I was wasting my time
and was better off working in her hotel.
She was right, of course.
I left for Amsterdam with big plans,
but I was already back in six months.
Since then I've been working at The Rif.
Perhaps that just suits me better.
Do you really believe that?
-No.
You know,
I lived with my dad in New York.
They have the best acting studios,
but he wanted me to study economics.
So I decided to stand in the moment
and I asked myself: What do I want?
What makes me happy?
So I went to the Netherlands...
and worked hard every day
to become an actor.
And after this movie, I want to return
to New York to make American movies.
That's what I'm going to do.
Doing what I find important.
And your work is fucking good.
And you know it.
Don't be so modest.
So what are you going to do tomorrow
after you wake up?
Tomorrow?
-Yes.
Do what I find important?
Who is she? Who?
Oh la la, looks like today will be
the hottest day of the year.
And tonight is a beautiful blood moon...
Did you know they were performing
Jerry Springer the Musical here?
I'm staying home.
-You can't.
It's the most important day of the year.
Come.
I hate this day.
-Come on, Emy. You need to get up.
Okay, Tess.
I'm going to tell you something.
It will sound strange,
but you must believe me.
I knew it. You and Ernesto
are secretly knocking boots.
No, I would rather do the clown from It.
-Okay, that's rather specific.
I got a problem and no one can help me.
-Okay, what's the matter?
I keep waking up on the same day.
I'm doomed to repeat this shite day
until the end of time.
I keep telling you,
but you always forget.
I've been on dates with Nathan Levi
and though we have a click...
he has no recollection of me
at the start of the day.
Okay, that's not what I was expecting.
I just want it to stop.
-Okay, honey.
I'm getting Jeffrey Dahmer vibes.
And I want to prevent you
from using my skin for a jacket.
I think you need to process this
on your own.
If nothing ever matters,
I will never get to where I want to be.
I'm doomed to repeat this day forever.
It sounds horrible,
but perhaps you should just stop.
With what?
-Everything that sucks.
Who is she? Who?
Oh la la, looks like today will be
the hottest day of the year.
And tonight there's a blood moon...
What about the 15 dollar discount
I was going to get from Ernesto?
At my age you have no time to wait.
-Of course, Mrs Doornbos. Follow me.
Why don't you have a sandwich?
They are leftover anyway.
What's the matter with you?
-Must help Nathan...
She has food poisoning.
-How do you know?
I gave her a warm egg salad sandwich
and now I must eternally pay the price.
It's soft.
Feeling any better?
I barely got any sleep for four weeks
because of this day.
And now I won't even be there.
-I'm sorry, Julia.
I was so jealous that my mother
does respect you that I poisoned you.
If I were you I would do what I want
at the press conference.
Perhaps you're right.
What did you say to him?
Anxious for the press conference?
I'm not going to trouble you
with all my problems.
I know about it.
-You do?
Yes, I follow the media.
So you get why
I'm not looking forward to today.
As someone who has never met you,
can I give you some advice?
Unsolicited advice is always great.
I think you should do this.
Adam Winter from Juicy Juice.
Sofia, what was it like to be on set
with Nathan again?
Amazing. Being on set with my Nathan
makes you feel like a Hollywood star.
Cute, but we want to know what it was
like to work with Sofia after her affair.
Nathan, any comments?
-This was the most exciting part so far.
And it was a pleasure
to be on set with Sofia.
You want us to believe that the photos
of Sofia and her toy boy were no issue?
Sofia, would you like
to make a statement about that?
It wasn't easy to work with Sofia,
but during this movie...
we've also discovered that there is
still a lot of love between us.
'And when I look at you'...
-And when I look at you...
'It feels familiar.'
-It feels familiar.
You make me happy.
I can have a laugh with you.
I first thought
you were arrogant and conceited.
But now that I know you...
I see so much more.
Well, something along those lines.
Just improvise and you'll be fine.
Are you alright?
-Yes, I just didn't sleep well.
You've been acting weird all day.
What's wrong?
Nothing. Let me freshen up
and then I'll help you with the wedding.
We had a deal.
You give me juice on your clients...
and I share them with the world,
so they stay relevant.
You lost me.
-A happy couple is not juice.
What are you on about? This was great.
Everyone loves them again.
This is like they were for years.
And their happily in love image
was dying a slow death.
I see your point.
The party is tonight.
I'll make sure
that you get something juicy from me.
Considering your rekindled love and
the exposure our movie direly needs...
I propose that you get married.
-Yes, that's a great idea.
Get married?
-Yes.
This will inflate your image sky-high
and the box office numbers.
Tessa Johanna de Boer,
you're gold, 24 carat pure gold.
I know. I'm glad I pulled this off.
-We did. We pulled this off.
You were stressing about
Nathan Levi, but...
Yes, but that gave you
the chance to shine.
That's exactly what great leaders do.
Oh no. What are they doing here?
-No idea, but they're headed this way.
They make me nervous.
Remember, we're not happy
until the guests are.
Who the hell came up with that?
Nathan, Sofia, a pleasure to see you.
What can I do for you?
-Wow, that looks amazing.
Thank you. It's a small impression
of what's possible at The Rif.
I can see myself walking to the altar.
Don't you think?
-Yes, that would be wonderful.
Is it possible for us
to attend the ceremony?
The wedding ceremony?
Of a couple that you don't even know?
They'll love to have us as guests.
The highlight of their day.
Just let me...
-Come, I see reporters walking around.
Dreadful person.
And they lived happily ever after.
If Ernesto sees you like this,
you will be dismissed right away.
I highly doubt that. Ernesto?
-Behave. We're guests.
But the guests don't care for a second
about what I'm going through now.
You know, things would be different
if you stopped acting like the victim.
Really? I think you've always
been jealous of me.
Jealous? Don't make me laugh.
Look at yourself in the mirror.
Hello, may I have your attention?
Thank you.
First of all,
I want to congratulate the newlyweds.
My Nathan and I feel super honoured
to be part of your big day.
As it's such a beautiful day,
it's my pleasure to share with you...
that Nathan and I
are also getting married.
Nathan, my darling, will you honour me
with the first dance of the evening?
They will love this.
Hi, Emy.
Congratulations.
Announcing your engagement
at someone else's wedding.
Classy chick you have there.
I was secretly hoping
you would come to my birthday.
That's sweet, but perhaps another time.
-Sure, you'll make it to my next birthday.
The odds are greater than you think.
-I just wanted to thank you anyway.
Thanks to you it's not only my birthday,
but also my engagement party.
Have fun tonight.
Oh, sweetheart.
What's going on with you?
I don't know anymore, Mum.
Thank you.
Remember what I said to you when
you wanted to go to the Netherlands?
You said that I was crazy.
And you called me an ungrateful brat.
Exactly. I thought it was
the stupidest idea you ever had.
And I was right.
What's your point, Mum?
No matter how much I was opposed
or tried to convince you not to go...
you went anyway.
Why?
Things were different back then.
I understand that those experiences
have made you feel very insecure.
And it doesn't make things easier
between us.
But I still believe that you still know
exactly what you really want.
You have to go back to the Emy who
didn't care about everyone else.
Including me.
Especially you.
'What are you going to do tomorrow?'
-Tomorrow?
Who is she? Who?
Oh la la, looks like today will be
the hottest day of the year.
Honey, I can explain.
-Explain?
It's not what it looks like.
-No? It looks like you're cheating again.
If you had wanted to hit him, you would
have. I've seen you throw better.
Sorry, Emy. I can't do this anymore.
Do you know what he did?
No, but I'm curious.
-It's not what it seems. I just...
If you had one day to live, would you
want to spend it alone or together?
Together, of course.
-Calm down. Let me think.
Celine, you've been a couple
since the day I met you.
Okay, if I really had to,
I wouldn't mind spending it with Dennis.
Exactly. Remember that
and everything will be fine.
Who are you
and what have you done with my friend?
I'm being positive for a change.
-Scary to see you like this.
It's easy to take things for granted.
I'm sorry.
That I never took the time to tell you
how much you mean to me.
Bitch, I'll get mad if you're dying.
No, of course not.
I just wanted you to know.
Well, thank you.
Let's go, you fool.
Have you met the new pool boy yet?
-Yes, he's doing a fine job.
He just arrived.
-That's what I mean.
He's doing a great job today.
-Okay.
Emy...
-Mrs Doornbos, what can I do for you?
What you can do for me?
How about taking care of my discount.
What would you say
if I had already taken care of it.
Well, that would be...
You really did?
Yes, and I will send you someone
to accompany you to the beach.
Could you accompany Mrs Doornbos
to the beach, where people are nude?
Yes, certainly.
Would you like to go, miss?
He called me miss.
Oh, my God. He's almost here.
-That's quite exciting indeed.
He's so handsome.
Impossible.
Are they really two hours early?
Don't stress, Ernesto.
-We're ready for this and anything else.
We do this as a family.
I know that Julia is sick,
so I sent her home.
I'll take care of Nathan Levi,
so you two can handle the wedding.
It will be tough, but we are The Rif.
We can do this.
Thanks, Emy.
Welcome on behalf of The Rif.
Are you Julia?
-No, I'm Emy.
My name is Emy.
-I'm Nathan Levi.
Nice to meet you, Nathan.
Anxious for the press conference?
-Is it that obvious?
Don't tell anyone,
but much depends on this movie.
I'm sure everything will work out fine.
-We'll find out.
May I give some unsolicited advice?
Speak from your heart.
Be honest.
It's better if people talk with you
instead of talking about you, right?
Adam Winter from Juicy Juice.
Sofia, how was it to be on set
with Nathan again?
Amazing. Being on set with my Nathan
makes you feel like a Hollywood star.
Cute, but we want to know what it was like
to work with Sofia after her affair.
Nathan, any comments?
It was tough, Adam.
I'll be that honest.
We have a history together,
so it can be hard sometimes.
We never talked about it though.
But it's okay.
And I understand.
We had a good thing.
And I think it's time to experience
new things with different people.
You came anyway?
I wouldn't miss this party for the world.
I spent weeks organising it.
I'm impressed by how good you are
at organising things.
Thank you, Emy.
It's sweet that you took over for me.
-Of course.
Too bad you're not going to the party.
-You go ahead. I'm too tired.
Do you have to work tomorrow?
-I'm not sure, but I think so.
Okay, that's fine.
-Bye.
You look wonderful.
Thank you.
Do you have plans for after this?
-I'm going to America for a few weeks.
Really?
-I'm going to visit my father.
I've been asked for an indie movie
with Tom Hanks' son.
Congratulations.
-Thank you.
How about you?
What are your plans?
Set up a big hotel like your mother?
-How do you know who my mother is?
There's a secret website
with crazy info about people.
And it's called Google.
Honestly,
if you had asked me yesterday...
I would have said
that I wanted to run a huge hotel.
Command people around all day.
-What has changed?
Let's just say
that I've learned a lot today.
Like what?
-It's important to follow your dreams.
And what is that?
-Drawing. Painting.
I'm thinking about applying again
to the Art Academy in Amsterdam.
Again?
-That's a very long story.
I want to live more in the moment
and do what makes me happy.
What?
What was that?
-Living in the moment.
Oh la la, looks like today will be
the hottest day of the year.
We thought that yesterday,
but the weather gods disagreed.
Today will be even hotter.
What's wrong?
What are you doing here?
-Fixing breakfast.
What day is it today?
-My birthday.
Is everything really alright with you?
So, what's the plan for today?
I'm in for anything as long as
it's not the same as yesterday.
Does this sound familiar to you?
The days you press snooze eight times.
Fucking snooze.
Curacao.
I've lived here my entire life.
Sun, sea, living the good life.
Well, no. I'm late again.
I'll get all the annoying chores again.
And everyone will tell me
how disappointing I am.
Every new day seems like the last one.
And it's always a struggle to make it
through that day without much fuss.
The sun is shining,
the sky is blue...
and tonight is a special blood moon.
It's visible all over the island.
Honey, the kitchen drain
needs to be unclogged.
Ernesto wants you
to take care of that.
Yes? Sooner rather than later.
Emy?
-Mrs Doornbos.
Ernesto promised me
a 15 dollar discount.
I was wondering when I could get it.
At my age there's no time to wait.
I'm straight on it, but I...
-You know where to find me?
At the nude beach,
where you grope 20-year old men.
I may be old,
but this pussy cat is still naughty.
Ladies and gentlemen, as you know,
tomorrow is a very important day.
You finally get to show off
your well-hidden talents.
We have a wedding on the beach
followed by a reception with 150 guests.
But that's not why we are all so excited.
Emy, contrary to what you think,
but the rules also apply to you.
Tomorrow we will finally get celebrities
at our resort.
None other than the most famous
Dutch movie star: Nathan Levi.
He's here with Sofia du Monde
to promote his new movie.
And he's celebrating his 26th birthday
in one of our villas.
Thank you, Ernesto.
When I started 25 years ago,
I had my sight set on one goal.
Opening the most luxurious
and exclusive hotel...
for a price that everyone can afford.
Ernesto, who are my star players?
-First of all, Julia.
She's Nathan Levi's contact person.
She'll organise the press conference.
And as cherry on top,
she also gets to organise the birthday.
Nathan stars with his ex, Sofia,
in the new movie Love, Fail, Repeat.
The press conference will reflect
the movie: sun, sea and hot love.
And the birthday party,
post-modern chic.
Excellent.
-And the wedding?
The ceremony will take
on our gorgeous beach.
Colourful flowers will provide
a nice contrast with the azure blue sea.
And the evening party will be filled
with lights and romance.
How about you?
What's your contribution?
The kitchen drain is clogged.
And, therefore...
And?
-I'm going to unclog it.
Okay, and now with a bit more passion.
-Passion?
With more motivation,
just like your colleagues.
I'm going to unclog the kitchen drain.
-Feistier.
I'm going to unclog the kitchen drain.
-More.
I'm going to unclog the kitchen drain.
-More.
I'm going to unclog the kitchen drain.
-Come on.
I'm going to unclog the kitchen drain.
-Yes, very good. Keep that up.
I'm confident you will make tomorrow
an amazing day.
And remember:
We're not satisfied until our guests are.
Emy, do you have a moment?
Yes, Mum. What's wrong?
-What's with your attitude?
As my daughter,
you could show more motivation.
As your daughter, it's ridiculous I don't
get a chance to show what I can do.
I know what you can do, but you must...
-Earn the chance.
Mum, I can run this hotel
with four fingers up my nose.
Emy, I love you to bits,
but you can be a spoiled brat at times.
Badge.
Breakfast is from seven to nine
and the breakfast room is on the left.
Breakfast is from seven to nine
and the breakfast room is on the left.
Honey, what happened to you?
-You happened, as always.
Take a good whiff, Mum.
This is what it smells like at the bottom.
Why won't you and Ernesto
give me a chance?
You know very well that's not true.
I need to know
that you take our work seriously.
Really serious, just like me.
That you're willing to do anything.
You're still my sweetheart.
I thought I could do it, but you smell like
blue cheese on a wet dog.
Wipe your face.
-Yes.
Isn't a gazebo with flowers clich?
-Very clich, but aren't all weddings?
And like with romance and love,
it works.
But before you know it, you get dumped
for a ripped football player on Ibiza.
You lost me.
-Nathan got dumped by Sofia.
But it could just be a publicity stunt
for the new movie.
Sofia will do anything for attention.
Your mind is like
a non-stop show news reel.
It's very interesting, isn't it?
What's the matter?
-She finally spoke her mind.
Linda doubts
whether I take this work seriously.
Darling, that's why she's pushing you.
She wants to see
how much you can take.
That's just great.
-Well, look.
If Linda wants to see if you got what
it takes, do what she would have done.
You demand to do the Nathan Levi booking.
Yeah, right.
Yes, since I work here
you've given me jobs below my level.
Below your level?
I didn't know you could go lower.
I have a hospitality degree.
-Where your mum is on the board.
Listen, we both know
you will take over my job eventually.
Wait, is that what this is about?
-No, of course not.
But as long I'm General Manager,
you'll be treated like everyone else.
I don't want to hear another word.
Someone had the bright idea to put
egg salad sandwiches in the heat.
Two old-timers ate them
and the rest is...
I have to go. I have the wedding
to take care of. Thank you.
Everything under control?
-Yes, I got it.
You're lucky,
just helping around in the hotel.
How's the Nathan Levi booking going?
-Oh, God. Stressful.
You have no idea what I do every day.
It's a lot, an endless list.
I have it all under control, of course,
but I obviously have no time to eat.
Have a sandwich.
They are leftover anyway.
No, I have to...
-No, no, no.
Mum always said: 'To take care of
the guests you must take care of yourself.'
Did she say that?
Your mother is such a power woman.
Hot egg salad?
-Yes, it's an old family recipe.
You know, you're really not as bad
as most people here say you are.
Who is she? Who?
Oh la la, looks like today will be
the hottest day of the year.
And there's a beautiful blood moon.
I can explain.
It's not what it seems.
No? It looks like you're cheating again.
Celine. Turn it down a little.
It's still early.
Do you know what he did this time?
-No, and I don't care.
You won't leave him anyway. Let me
get some rest and turn it down, please.
Honey, please. I love you.
It was only once.
Go away.
-Jerry Springer the Musical.
Are you still in your peejays?
Come on.
Must you sit in the square centre?
-I see you're in a good mood.
Rough day yesterday.
-New day, new opportunities.
Have you met the new pool boy yet?
-Yes, you mean Enrique?
I hear he's a great singer.
-Yes, I talked to him about it.
Did you hear him?
-No, not yet.
See you later.
-Okay.
Emy? Emy?
-Mrs Doornbos. I didn't see you.
You should be less busy with yourself
and more with the guests, like me.
What can I do for you?
-How about taking care of my discount?
Yes, I'll take care of it right away.
-Really? That's great.
Oh, my God. He's almost here.
We have to go now.
Get a grip on yourself, fangirl.
-You're just a hater.
Let the rest of us enjoy this.
-Sure, do your thing.
I'll focus on the real work,
so you can drool over...
Nathan Levi.
He's so handsome. So divine.
Not now.
Impossible.
Are they really two hours early?
Don't stress, Ernesto. It's as bad
as smoking three cigarettes at once.
Don't you get that today must be perfect
or else we'll be fired?
You might not mind, but I'm too delicate
to work in a house of ill repute.
I bruise easily.
-Ernesto, why are you so worked up?
The amazing Julia likely has
everything under control.
What?
She can't talk to anyone like this.
-I'm feeling better.
I'll welcome Nathan Levi.
-No, wait Ernesto.
Look, I feel fine now.
No one comes near Nathan Levi.
-I'm sorry, Ernesto.
That was the craziest thing ever.
There's no one to welcome Nathan Levi.
-No, no, no, don't do it.
He's all by himself.
-Ernesto doesn't want that.
Honey, don't do it. He'll fire you.
One mistake and you're gone.
On behalf of The Rif, I welcome you.
-You're Julia?
No, I'm Emy. Julia is sadly indisposed,
so you'll have to make do with me.
Make do with you?
That's more service than I'm used to.
Not funny?
-I think it's safer if we go to your suite.
What about my luggage?
-They'll come later.
I'm sorry, my fans can be a bit intense.
What?
They're fans of a rom-com actor,
so you can't expect much of them.
Is this your first day or something?
-Why?
You seem to be out of your element,
but you don't meet a celebrity every day.
That could be the cause.
Now that I'm holding your hand,
I have the urge to scream and go wild.
Mr Levi, I'm Ernesto Grande.
-Nathan.
On behalf of The Rif,
I want to offer you a warm welcome.
It goes without saying
that we're all huge fans.
My personal favourite
is 'Bonaire Here We Come'.
Go.
-What?
The film is called
'Bonaire Here We Go'.
Here we go to your presidential suite.
-Let's go.
You're such a gorgeous man.
They'll all fall in love with you.
-I'm still not going to do it.
You have to, honey. You know that.
Do you know what I'm going to do?
-Sounds dangerous. Do tell.
I'll be polite. I'll sit next to her,
but I'll only talk about that movie.
They'll ask about Sofia's affair anyway.
-Then I won't answer them.
You know what, I'm going
to get a different suite for you.
Why?
-A seaside view.
Why?
-You should see yourself.
You're a fucking star.
Then do it for me.
Breakfast is from seven to nine
and the breakfast room is to the left.
Hi, what can I do for you?
-I'm Marit. Nathan's manager.
I'm not satisfied with Nathan's suite.
I was wondering what you can do about it.
Which suite did you order?
-The presidential.
You didn't get it?
-Yes, but I'm not satisfied.
With what?
-I'm sorry. You lost me.
Shouldn't you solve this?
-Calm down, Marit.
If you follow me, I'll arrange a suite
that suits your client's expectations.
I'll take you to the main reception,
where we can rebook...
You're late again.
Let's see, I believe there is...
No, here is fine. Follow me.
This will only take a moment.
Do you know how to do this?
-The computer is a bit slow.
I'm going to get someone
who can give me access.
Great.
Tess? Tess?
I must take care of Nathan Levi's room.
-Honey, you're sick.
I don't want to be. I must help Nathan...
-Don't worry. I'll take care of him.
You? You don't know what to do.
Who are all those people by the way?
How many paracetamol have you had?
-How many packs in a paracetamol?
Okay, why don't you sleep it off.
When you feel better, we'll go to Nathan.
Please tell me you didn't kill her?
-Of course not. I just laid her down.
I hope that will convince a judge,
but we need you.
Nathan's manager is not pleased.
I can't rebook rooms.
Can I have your login?
I don't know. If Ernesto finds out...
-Please.
I'm back again.
-Again?
I'll take care of it.
You'll be notified as soon as possible.
I'm going to get an espresso.
With espresso I mean vodka.
And with vodka I mean
a handful of anti-depressants.
Hello, Mr Levi?
-One moment.
I'm here to take you
to the press conference.
I'm coming.
I'm looking for my phone.
Everything alright?
-Coming. One second.
We must go now.
Having fun?
Let's go.
I thought you Hillywood types
enjoyed the limelight?
Hillywood?
-Hilversum.
Calling you Hollywood
is a bit of a stretch for you, isn't it?
You're right.
My life is not as great as it seems.
I have to work with my ex
and pretend to be madly in love.
You thought that was bad?
The last time I even had an ex was
when the B in Ali B stood for Bouali...
and not for, you know, Epstein.
-Wow. You're really bad.
If I were you I would do what I like
at the press conference.
What does it matter?
-A lot. The producers can fire me.
People aren't going to the theatre
to see your co-star.
I've seen her act. It's the same level
as NBC and TikTok, don't you think?
Perhaps you're right.
-You'll see.
And if it gets too much, visit me
and I'll punch someone in the face.
Deal?
-Deal.
Can you sort everyone by colour?
Green with green. Blue with blue.
Can you keep all the ugly people
in the kitchen away from the cameras?
Why?
-Because their faces make me sad.
Dear people, my name is Marit.
Welcome to the press presentation
of Love, Fail, Repeat.
And here's your It couple,
Nathan Levi and Sofia du Monde.
Adam Winter from Juicy Juice.
Sofia, what was it like to be
on set with Nathan again?
It was truly amazing.
Being on set with my Nathan
makes you feel like a Hollywood star.
Cute, but we really want to know...
what was it like to be on set with Sofia
after she cheated?
Nathan, any comments?
Being on set with Sofia felt familiar.
-I'm a bit disappointed by your reaction.
How does it feel to be humiliated
by the love of your life?
And finding out about it on my channel?
Didn't you want to crawl into a hole?
Listen.
-The juicier the details, the better.
How does it feel?
It must be humiliating.
Behave, man.
-What? It's what people want to know.
Everything alright here?
Adam was just done
with asking questions, right?
Sofia, what was it like to work with a man
who couldn't sexually satisfy you?
Any comment?
You were right.
I should have done that much sooner.
What did you say to him?
Really, Ernesto?
Get out of here.
Hi, honey. How are you feeling?
-Meh.
I get that. I'll drop by tomorrow, okay?
-Yes, that's sweet of you.
Try to get some sleep.
-I'm going to do my best.
My sweetheart.
-Good night.
Who is she? Who?
-Again?
Oh la la, looks like today will be
the hottest day of the year.
It's not what it looks like, okay?
-No? It looks like you're cheating again.
Celine, this is starting to get too much.
-Do you know what he did this time?
Yes, the same as yesterday.
You have to draw a line at some point.
Darling.
-What?
I love you. It happened only once.
Just leave.
You can't talk your way out of this.
Jerry Springer the Musical?
-You said that yesterday.
What are you on about? Let's go inside.
I don't want to get hit by a slipper.
Have you met the new pool boy yet?
-Ernesto will flip if he sees me.
Since when do you care?
-Since he fired me.
Quit the act.
I have a wedding and birthday arrange.
The wedding was yesterday.
-Emy?
Mrs Doornbos,
I've never been so glad to see you.
Yesterday you asked me
to get you a discount, right?
Yes, did you take care of it?
-What? No, that's not the issue now.
I need to hear from you
that we've done this before.
That's because I think I'm going mental.
-Honey, we've all felt that way once.
Really?
-We call it the slog.
The slog?
-Yes.
What did you do to break the slog?
-Darling, you need to find a new love.
Yes, we all feel much better
after a good shag.
Oh, my God. He's almost here.
We have to go now.
Okay, pay attention.
A stressed Ernesto is about to appear
to tell us that Julia has food poisoning.
Today of all days?
Not now.
Impossible.
Are they really two hours early?
Don't stress, Ernesto. It's as bad
as smoking three cigarettes at once.
Don't you get that...
-Let me guess. Julia has food poisoning.
She can't talk to anyone like this.
-I'm feeling much better already.
This is embarrassing.
Ernesto, you won't believe me,
but this happened yesterday too.
What? There's no one
to welcome Nathan Levi.
Emy can handle it.
Those Hollywood types will love her.
No, no, no. Everything but that.
-He's waiting.
I'll welcome Nathan Levi.
-No, Ernesto. Wait. Look.
I feel like my old self again.
Oh, sorry. Sorry, Ernesto.
I'm sorry.
-Emy, take over for Julia.
Ernesto, wait.
Go away.
-Ernesto, please...
That was the craziest thing
I've ever seen.
I can't do it.
You have to do this.
No, honey. I have a wedding to prepare
and I'm already late. I'm sorry.
On behalf of The Rif,
I warmly welcome you.
You're Julia?
-No, I'm Emy.
Stop joking. I'm not in the mood.
Okay, weird vibes, but whatever.
What about my luggage?
My life isn't as great as it seems.
I have to work with my ex
and pretend to be madly in love.
It can be a lot worse.
-What?
Something about Ali B and Epstein.
-What are you talking about?
Nothing. You need to clear your mind
and stop getting baited by journalists.
You think so?
Of course. Who cares what
a Juicy Juice reporter has to say.
Whatever happens, keep a cool head.
Perhaps you're right.
-I hope so.
Adam Winter from Juicy Juice.
Sofia, what was it like to be on set
with Nathan again?
Amazing. Being on set with my Nathan
makes you feel like a Hollywood star.
Cute, but we really want to know...
what it was like to be on set with Sofia
after she cheated on you?
Being on set with Sofia felt familiar.
I'm a bit disappointed in your reaction.
How does it feel to be so humiliated
by the love of your life?
Well...
And to find out about it on my channel?
Must be humiliating.
Listen...
-The juicier the details, the better.
Everything alright here?
Hello?
We're in the middle of an interview.
Can someone tip her,
so we can go on?
What are you up to?
-Trust me. I have to do this.
Nathan, answer my question.
What does it feel like
to be so humiliated?
Well...
-That's enough for now.
Mr Levi is our guest
and you don't get to treat him this way.
Let go, psycho.
-I'm just asking...
Have you lost your mind?
-What?
I'm just doing my job.
Is this all too exciting and confronting?
Are you happy now?
Of course.
Get out of here.
Who is she? Who?
Oh la la, looks like today...
Have you met the new pool boy yet?
Hello? Are you alright?
-Yes.
Okay. Just keep breathing, honey.
Emy...
-Mrs Doornbos, let me guess.
Your discount?
-How did you know I was going to ask that?
Because I know everything.
I'm omniscient and I'm going mad.
You're clearly dealing with something
intense, so I'll get back to you later.
Later? There is no later.
This is all a simulation.
Oh, my God. He's almost here.
We have to go now.
Welcome to The Rif.
-You're Julia?
Nice to meet you. Let's go to your suite.
-Nice welcome.
Listen, pretty boy. Today is not the day
to mess with me. I wish you a nice stay.
Let's go before your zombie fans get us
and I'm forced to use you as a shield.
What about my luggage?
-Fuck your luggage.
Are you alright?
-Am I alright?
I'm stuck in a loop. Today is yesterday
and no one seems to notice.
How do you think it's going?
-Our lives seem alike.
What? Are you also stuck in today?
-Every day in my life is the same.
Hotel in, hotel out. The same
stupid press conference questions.
Before you know the day is over
and then it starts all over again.
I didn't know super stars
had such a hard life.
It sucks that no one really talks to me.
I want to get the press conference
behind me.
No, don't go.
-I'm sorry?
The press conference... Just skip it.
It's kind of mandatory.
-No, not at all.
You're Nathan Levi. The Nathan Levi.
You should do what you want.
Perhaps you're right.
-Of course I am.
There you go.
-In the real world we pay for our drinks.
The real world sounds like
a horrible place.
Look at that. A big mouth,
but when it comes to booze...
I'll drink you under the table.
I didn't expect that a pink cocktail
would contain 90% alcohol.
Is this your first time here?
-On the island?
No, this island stole my heart years ago.
If I could, I would stay here forever.
How about you?
-Born and bred here.
Really?
-Yes, my mother runs the hotel.
Wow. That's great.
Working with your mother.
If standing in someone's shadow
sounds great to you.
Sounds delightful.
But?
-It's a long and boring story.
Okay, I won't ask anything.
-Good.
Did you always want to be an actor?
-No, certainly not.
I actually wanted to be...
-Go on, spill it.
I'm embarrassed to say.
-Now I have to know.
I wanted to be a dancer.
-That's not bad.
And a singer.
Can you sing?
-No, that's the problem.
I used to be a fan of Jantje Smit.
-Okay, that is a little embarrassing.
Do you even know how to dance?
-We'll never find out.
How the fuck do you lose someone?
It's not a cat or suitcase.
-I'm terribly sorry.
No, no. You will be really sorry later.
I was Anton's assistant for four months.
I know pencak silat, so I can take you
in a stranglehold when I want.
Sounds delightful, but unnecessary.
Our best people are looking for Nathan
and I know it will be fine.
Where the fuck were you?
-I was having fun with Emy.
Emy?
Get out of here.
Who is she? Who?
Oh la la, looks like today...
It looks like you're cheating again.
-I can explain.
Explain?
You're Julia?
Did you always want to be an actor?
-No, certainly not.
I actually wanted to be...
-What?
Not so shy.
-I wanted to be a dancer.
Can you dance?
-That's something we'll never find out.
Oh really?
Come here.
-No.
Yes.
-No.
Yes.
-What if someone sees me?
It must be horrible if someone finds out
that you're a real human being.
No, I can't do this.
Are you afraid?
-I'm not afraid.
You're not afraid? Let's go then.
-Okay.
Just follow my lead.
One, two, three.
Marit, what's up?
If you're not here in ten minutes
then you can find a new manager.
I'm on my way.
-I won't work for you again.
I'm sorry. I have to go.
-It's fine.
Adam Winter from Juicy Juice.
Sofia, what was it like
to be on set with Nathan again?
It was truly amazing.
Being on set with my Nathan
makes you feel like a Hollywood star.
Yes, that's cute...
but we want to know what it was like
to work with Sofia after her affair?
Nathan, any comments?
This film was more romantic
than my old work.
And it was a pleasure
to be on set with Sofia.
Oh, you expect us to believe...
the photos of Sofia with her toy boy
on the beach weren't an issue?
It certainly wasn't easy,
but Sofia and I are professionals.
That's a poor answer.
I know you were hoping
that I would say nasty things...
but I'm in a good space in my mind,
and I wish Sofia all the best.
Tell me what's going on with you?
-What?
Don't give me that. I saw you swoon
when Nathan looked at you.
I want details.
-There's nothing to say.
Nothing to say? Come on.
-No, I mean it.
Stop giving me that look.
Okay. He was tense,
so I settled his nerves.
You horny rascal.
-No, not like that.
Yes, you did.
-No, not at all.
Take her.
Are you serious?
-I'm sorry, it was a reflex.
You took it away from me.
-Honey, we should better call a doctor.
That sandwich.
Nathan was my job.
Sandwich?
-Long story.
Can you imagine that this is your life?
It seems great to me.
-Yes, really great.
We can turn it into a reality show.
Like the Meilandjes,
but not that agonisingly horrible.
Amazing. And we'll pretend to live
on a farm or such, but in high fashion.
Farmer Wants a Wife:
Hollywood edition.
Sounds great.
-You can show a bit more enthusiasm.
To make this break-up/make-up work,
you will have to play your part.
Are you serious?
-Did I say something wrong?
Sofia, I think that's the reporter
from the other Juice channel.
Perhaps he wants to interview you.
There are limits.
This is just another way
to keep the public interested.
Who says I want that?
-Your contract says that you want to.
More publicity means more money.
And that's what everyone wants, right?
At least that's what I want.
It's getting clearer
what really matters to you.
I've always only cared about
your creative integrity.
Sorry, I tried to keep a straight face,
but I just couldn't do it.
I can see that.
You know that I'm here
to get you paid, honey.
Just let me do what I'm good at
and you can do the rest.
Hard at work?
-Just like you want. Right, Ernesto?
Emy, you may think
that I have it out for you...
but your mother was
twenty times as hard on me.
Congratulations, you're only half as bad
as the worst mother in the world.
Well done.
-I know your mother better than most.
I can guarantee you
that she loves you more than you think.
It's still an hour and a half away.
-Want to go wild while you still can?
Go wild?
You have the wrong image of me.
I'm always a gentlemen.
-That's not what I've heard.
You do know how to throw a party.
-Marit took care of everything.
The people are just here for the show.
-That sucks.
On your birthday you should get to do
what you want, right?
Thank you.
That's really what a girl wants to hear.
No, I meant for the entire day.
It's been a long time
since I felt so normal and happy.
Did you make these?
-Yes, I did.
You're really good.
The admission board in Amsterdam
thought it was safe and predictable, so...
Amsterdam?
-The Art Academy.
My father lives in the De Pijp district.
I've always lived here with my mother.
She didn't think it was a good decision
that I went there.
She said I was wasting my time
and was better off working in her hotel.
She was right, of course.
I left for Amsterdam with big plans,
but I was already back in six months.
Since then I've been working at The Rif.
Perhaps that just suits me better.
Do you really believe that?
-No.
You know,
I lived with my dad in New York.
They have the best acting studios,
but he wanted me to study economics.
So I decided to stand in the moment
and I asked myself: What do I want?
What makes me happy?
So I went to the Netherlands...
and worked hard every day
to become an actor.
And after this movie, I want to return
to New York to make American movies.
That's what I'm going to do.
Doing what I find important.
And your work is fucking good.
And you know it.
Don't be so modest.
So what are you going to do tomorrow
after you wake up?
Tomorrow?
-Yes.
Do what I find important?
Who is she? Who?
Oh la la, looks like today will be
the hottest day of the year.
And tonight is a beautiful blood moon...
Did you know they were performing
Jerry Springer the Musical here?
I'm staying home.
-You can't.
It's the most important day of the year.
Come.
I hate this day.
-Come on, Emy. You need to get up.
Okay, Tess.
I'm going to tell you something.
It will sound strange,
but you must believe me.
I knew it. You and Ernesto
are secretly knocking boots.
No, I would rather do the clown from It.
-Okay, that's rather specific.
I got a problem and no one can help me.
-Okay, what's the matter?
I keep waking up on the same day.
I'm doomed to repeat this shite day
until the end of time.
I keep telling you,
but you always forget.
I've been on dates with Nathan Levi
and though we have a click...
he has no recollection of me
at the start of the day.
Okay, that's not what I was expecting.
I just want it to stop.
-Okay, honey.
I'm getting Jeffrey Dahmer vibes.
And I want to prevent you
from using my skin for a jacket.
I think you need to process this
on your own.
If nothing ever matters,
I will never get to where I want to be.
I'm doomed to repeat this day forever.
It sounds horrible,
but perhaps you should just stop.
With what?
-Everything that sucks.
Who is she? Who?
Oh la la, looks like today will be
the hottest day of the year.
And tonight there's a blood moon...
What about the 15 dollar discount
I was going to get from Ernesto?
At my age you have no time to wait.
-Of course, Mrs Doornbos. Follow me.
Why don't you have a sandwich?
They are leftover anyway.
What's the matter with you?
-Must help Nathan...
She has food poisoning.
-How do you know?
I gave her a warm egg salad sandwich
and now I must eternally pay the price.
It's soft.
Feeling any better?
I barely got any sleep for four weeks
because of this day.
And now I won't even be there.
-I'm sorry, Julia.
I was so jealous that my mother
does respect you that I poisoned you.
If I were you I would do what I want
at the press conference.
Perhaps you're right.
What did you say to him?
Anxious for the press conference?
I'm not going to trouble you
with all my problems.
I know about it.
-You do?
Yes, I follow the media.
So you get why
I'm not looking forward to today.
As someone who has never met you,
can I give you some advice?
Unsolicited advice is always great.
I think you should do this.
Adam Winter from Juicy Juice.
Sofia, what was it like to be on set
with Nathan again?
Amazing. Being on set with my Nathan
makes you feel like a Hollywood star.
Cute, but we want to know what it was
like to work with Sofia after her affair.
Nathan, any comments?
-This was the most exciting part so far.
And it was a pleasure
to be on set with Sofia.
You want us to believe that the photos
of Sofia and her toy boy were no issue?
Sofia, would you like
to make a statement about that?
It wasn't easy to work with Sofia,
but during this movie...
we've also discovered that there is
still a lot of love between us.
'And when I look at you'...
-And when I look at you...
'It feels familiar.'
-It feels familiar.
You make me happy.
I can have a laugh with you.
I first thought
you were arrogant and conceited.
But now that I know you...
I see so much more.
Well, something along those lines.
Just improvise and you'll be fine.
Are you alright?
-Yes, I just didn't sleep well.
You've been acting weird all day.
What's wrong?
Nothing. Let me freshen up
and then I'll help you with the wedding.
We had a deal.
You give me juice on your clients...
and I share them with the world,
so they stay relevant.
You lost me.
-A happy couple is not juice.
What are you on about? This was great.
Everyone loves them again.
This is like they were for years.
And their happily in love image
was dying a slow death.
I see your point.
The party is tonight.
I'll make sure
that you get something juicy from me.
Considering your rekindled love and
the exposure our movie direly needs...
I propose that you get married.
-Yes, that's a great idea.
Get married?
-Yes.
This will inflate your image sky-high
and the box office numbers.
Tessa Johanna de Boer,
you're gold, 24 carat pure gold.
I know. I'm glad I pulled this off.
-We did. We pulled this off.
You were stressing about
Nathan Levi, but...
Yes, but that gave you
the chance to shine.
That's exactly what great leaders do.
Oh no. What are they doing here?
-No idea, but they're headed this way.
They make me nervous.
Remember, we're not happy
until the guests are.
Who the hell came up with that?
Nathan, Sofia, a pleasure to see you.
What can I do for you?
-Wow, that looks amazing.
Thank you. It's a small impression
of what's possible at The Rif.
I can see myself walking to the altar.
Don't you think?
-Yes, that would be wonderful.
Is it possible for us
to attend the ceremony?
The wedding ceremony?
Of a couple that you don't even know?
They'll love to have us as guests.
The highlight of their day.
Just let me...
-Come, I see reporters walking around.
Dreadful person.
And they lived happily ever after.
If Ernesto sees you like this,
you will be dismissed right away.
I highly doubt that. Ernesto?
-Behave. We're guests.
But the guests don't care for a second
about what I'm going through now.
You know, things would be different
if you stopped acting like the victim.
Really? I think you've always
been jealous of me.
Jealous? Don't make me laugh.
Look at yourself in the mirror.
Hello, may I have your attention?
Thank you.
First of all,
I want to congratulate the newlyweds.
My Nathan and I feel super honoured
to be part of your big day.
As it's such a beautiful day,
it's my pleasure to share with you...
that Nathan and I
are also getting married.
Nathan, my darling, will you honour me
with the first dance of the evening?
They will love this.
Hi, Emy.
Congratulations.
Announcing your engagement
at someone else's wedding.
Classy chick you have there.
I was secretly hoping
you would come to my birthday.
That's sweet, but perhaps another time.
-Sure, you'll make it to my next birthday.
The odds are greater than you think.
-I just wanted to thank you anyway.
Thanks to you it's not only my birthday,
but also my engagement party.
Have fun tonight.
Oh, sweetheart.
What's going on with you?
I don't know anymore, Mum.
Thank you.
Remember what I said to you when
you wanted to go to the Netherlands?
You said that I was crazy.
And you called me an ungrateful brat.
Exactly. I thought it was
the stupidest idea you ever had.
And I was right.
What's your point, Mum?
No matter how much I was opposed
or tried to convince you not to go...
you went anyway.
Why?
Things were different back then.
I understand that those experiences
have made you feel very insecure.
And it doesn't make things easier
between us.
But I still believe that you still know
exactly what you really want.
You have to go back to the Emy who
didn't care about everyone else.
Including me.
Especially you.
'What are you going to do tomorrow?'
-Tomorrow?
Who is she? Who?
Oh la la, looks like today will be
the hottest day of the year.
Honey, I can explain.
-Explain?
It's not what it looks like.
-No? It looks like you're cheating again.
If you had wanted to hit him, you would
have. I've seen you throw better.
Sorry, Emy. I can't do this anymore.
Do you know what he did?
No, but I'm curious.
-It's not what it seems. I just...
If you had one day to live, would you
want to spend it alone or together?
Together, of course.
-Calm down. Let me think.
Celine, you've been a couple
since the day I met you.
Okay, if I really had to,
I wouldn't mind spending it with Dennis.
Exactly. Remember that
and everything will be fine.
Who are you
and what have you done with my friend?
I'm being positive for a change.
-Scary to see you like this.
It's easy to take things for granted.
I'm sorry.
That I never took the time to tell you
how much you mean to me.
Bitch, I'll get mad if you're dying.
No, of course not.
I just wanted you to know.
Well, thank you.
Let's go, you fool.
Have you met the new pool boy yet?
-Yes, he's doing a fine job.
He just arrived.
-That's what I mean.
He's doing a great job today.
-Okay.
Emy...
-Mrs Doornbos, what can I do for you?
What you can do for me?
How about taking care of my discount.
What would you say
if I had already taken care of it.
Well, that would be...
You really did?
Yes, and I will send you someone
to accompany you to the beach.
Could you accompany Mrs Doornbos
to the beach, where people are nude?
Yes, certainly.
Would you like to go, miss?
He called me miss.
Oh, my God. He's almost here.
-That's quite exciting indeed.
He's so handsome.
Impossible.
Are they really two hours early?
Don't stress, Ernesto.
-We're ready for this and anything else.
We do this as a family.
I know that Julia is sick,
so I sent her home.
I'll take care of Nathan Levi,
so you two can handle the wedding.
It will be tough, but we are The Rif.
We can do this.
Thanks, Emy.
Welcome on behalf of The Rif.
Are you Julia?
-No, I'm Emy.
My name is Emy.
-I'm Nathan Levi.
Nice to meet you, Nathan.
Anxious for the press conference?
-Is it that obvious?
Don't tell anyone,
but much depends on this movie.
I'm sure everything will work out fine.
-We'll find out.
May I give some unsolicited advice?
Speak from your heart.
Be honest.
It's better if people talk with you
instead of talking about you, right?
Adam Winter from Juicy Juice.
Sofia, how was it to be on set
with Nathan again?
Amazing. Being on set with my Nathan
makes you feel like a Hollywood star.
Cute, but we want to know what it was like
to work with Sofia after her affair.
Nathan, any comments?
It was tough, Adam.
I'll be that honest.
We have a history together,
so it can be hard sometimes.
We never talked about it though.
But it's okay.
And I understand.
We had a good thing.
And I think it's time to experience
new things with different people.
You came anyway?
I wouldn't miss this party for the world.
I spent weeks organising it.
I'm impressed by how good you are
at organising things.
Thank you, Emy.
It's sweet that you took over for me.
-Of course.
Too bad you're not going to the party.
-You go ahead. I'm too tired.
Do you have to work tomorrow?
-I'm not sure, but I think so.
Okay, that's fine.
-Bye.
You look wonderful.
Thank you.
Do you have plans for after this?
-I'm going to America for a few weeks.
Really?
-I'm going to visit my father.
I've been asked for an indie movie
with Tom Hanks' son.
Congratulations.
-Thank you.
How about you?
What are your plans?
Set up a big hotel like your mother?
-How do you know who my mother is?
There's a secret website
with crazy info about people.
And it's called Google.
Honestly,
if you had asked me yesterday...
I would have said
that I wanted to run a huge hotel.
Command people around all day.
-What has changed?
Let's just say
that I've learned a lot today.
Like what?
-It's important to follow your dreams.
And what is that?
-Drawing. Painting.
I'm thinking about applying again
to the Art Academy in Amsterdam.
Again?
-That's a very long story.
I want to live more in the moment
and do what makes me happy.
What?
What was that?
-Living in the moment.
Oh la la, looks like today will be
the hottest day of the year.
We thought that yesterday,
but the weather gods disagreed.
Today will be even hotter.
What's wrong?
What are you doing here?
-Fixing breakfast.
What day is it today?
-My birthday.
Is everything really alright with you?
So, what's the plan for today?
I'm in for anything as long as
it's not the same as yesterday.
