Olmo (2025) Movie Script
I need to pee.
Ready?
No, not yet.
Wait.
Feels good.
Done.
What?
Dammit.
I told you no smoking in this house.
Don't leave it there!
Hello!
I'm back!
What happened?
Where were you?
That fucking car, it keeps
dying on me all the time.
I need to call the mechanic.
That fucking mechanic... He's a thief!
Don't call him.
The mattress!
We need to take the
mattress out to wash it! Quickly!
Let it air out! Olmo!
We're going to lift him. Olmo, when Ana
and I lift him, you take the mattress out.
One, two, three!
Cause he's wet.
Be careful!
No! no! no! Not on the floor! Please!
Just for a little bit.
Ana, bring the chair!
Don't leave me on the floor!
I'm coming!
Don't leave me here on the floor!
Push it towards him, Ana, you're pushing
it to the other side.
Please, hurry!
Olmo, pull down your dad's underwear.
But...
Lift him.
Lift him for me.
Thank you.
No problem.
Honey, this one, blue is your color.
How about a beer and a haircut?
We can make some enchiladas
and beans, what do you think?
Don't eat it, son.
Thank you.
Hello.
Son of a bitch.
Hey, put that slice back, it's too much.
Enough, enough.
What is it?
I have to go to work.
I need you to take care
of your dad today.
I need you to do it again,
I have to work.
I have to work!
Tell them you can't go.
Julio. It's Cecilia. I'm fine.
Listen, Julio.
I have to cover a double shift.
Could you take care of Nstor
for a couple of hours?
Because he's your brother.
Julio, listen.
Can you come or not?
Thank you. Thank you.
For nothing.
You stay and take care of your father.
Olmo is taking care of you.
What?
He hates helping me.
Remember what happened earlier.
- It wasn't my fault.
- He never listens.
We haven't paid the rent.
I always have to call him at least
four times for him to come.
Ana is the one who helps me.
You held the urinal wrong.
I'm always telling him...
We haven't paid the rent!
If we don't pay by the end of the month,
we're going to get evicted.
But...
Why didn't you tell me before?
I'm telling you now, we're
three months behind.
I'm taking the bus.
I'm calling the mechanic tomorrow.
Don't call that mechanic, he's a thief,
just stick the terminals together...
I don't have time for that.
Share the lasagna.
- I don't like frozen lasagna.
- Don't eat the lasagna.
I don't like it.
I like lasagna, but not the frozen kind.
It's the same thing
It's not the same.
I'm in charge, kid!
Nina, give me the phone.
I'm waiting for Aunt Licha to call.
Cousin!
Hi Aunt Licha.
She'll call you back.
Bye, aunt.
Cousin.
Hello, dad.
Hello.
Why today?
Hello, Sir.
Hello, Miguel.
Two amplifier modules
working in stereophony.
Your mom used to stand in front of the
window shop every time we walked by.
I bought it for her on our wedding
anniversary, she couldn't be happier.
Remember?
We danced all night long.
You both fell asleep on the sofa.
Alright. Let's begin.
First, we need to know if the problem
comes from the transformers
or from the transistors.
Do you know the difference between
a two-phase transformer
and a three-phase one?
Ah that's very important!
Because it has to do with the system of
production and distribution of energy.
Fine.
We're going to use the
multimeter.
Miguel!
Look for a little black box with
two wires. One red, one black.
That one!
Good.
Now.
Put the tip of the red wire on
the right side of the transformer.
And the other one on the orange wire.
No! No!
I said on the right side.
Oh! Well then on your left side.
What's the reading?
So the problem has to do
with the transistors.
First we need to disconnect the cathodes.
A cathode is the negative side of a diode.
And a diode is used
to transform AC voltage to DC.
It's that black cylinder with
the ring on top of it.
Now take the multimeter
and measure the voltage.
No! No!
That's not how you measure the voltage,
you have to use the right polarity.
Don't you want to learn?
I've told you a thousand times.
The red one goes on the positive side,
and the black one, on the negative side.
So it has to do
with the oval transistor.
Yes...
But first, tell me
what's the best conductor to build
a bridge between cathodes?
Porcelain?
That's your problem,
you don't want to learn.
Like what smart ass?
That's not true.
I fixed the derailleur.
If that bike works, it's because of me.
You only put oil on the wheels!
The best conductor to build a bridge
between cathodes is aluminum.
Miguel, there should be
a little piece in there.
Very good.
Now turn it on.
You did something wrong.
I told you negative polarity.
Negative.
I said negative!
I'm telling you negative,
I told you a thousand times!
You only listen to what you want,
you never pay attention.
I always tell you how to do things...
and you always do the opposite.
Who's the one teaching here?
I just want you to learn!
I do get upset, but you
keep messing up.
You never pay attention!
What the...?
Let's dance, Sir!
How is my Olmo Manero?
Ah! Good, Uncle Julio!
Let's see.
A true dancer.
And you Miguelito?
I told you.
To a party?
With your little neighbor, right?
A goddess!
Ah! That's why...?
Don't worry, I'll take care of him.
But where's the grill?
This part is rusty. Well, where
does your dad keep it?
- Here.
- Outside?
You can't do that with this type of grill.
These have to be kept inside.
For example your boots.
Where do you keep them?
Well, inside.
Exactly!
I don't know what he told you,
but that grill is mine.
We bought it together.
He only chipped in $25.
Don't be a liar.
I gave you $75.
So I'm the liar?
Besides, you don't even know
how to use it.
Your uncle is good at eating,
not so great at cooking.
It's not quantum physics.
It's not quantum physics...
but you need to know how to do it.
He's just jealous because the
only time he let me use it,
everyone said that this idiot,
made the best burgers
they'd ever tasted in their fucking life.
You only flipped them.
Typical Nestor.
Always making less of what people do.
Well, hey.
I want to have barbecues in my
backyard with my friends.
With your friends?
And you.
And you, with you, with my family.
You're invited.
It's good to know that I'm invited
to your new house.
Of course you are.
Well, so far, I haven't been.
I was waiting for you to be...
...better.
Over my dead body! Did you hear me?
That grill is mine!
Hey, easy brother!
Don't call me brother, asshole.
He's crazy!
Just like that?
What about the fight tonight?
I'm not asking you to watch it with me,
just move the antenna
so I can watch the TV.
Boxing's on Channel 5.
Remember, you gotta go up to the roof
and move the antenna.
Flip me to my other side
- Hi.
- Hello Miguel.
What did I say about smoking?
I'm talking to you.
Get that shit away from my face.
Don't leave it there!
Hey, the cigarette!
You're not only ruining your lungs,
you're also ruining my rug.
No, it's not.
You burnt it,
I can see it from here.
Are you aware of the damage you're
doing to your body?
I smoked until they proved
how much harm it can cause!
How many cigarettes do you
smoke a day?
How many cigarettes do you
smoke a day?
Wait.
Yes, turn me over.
Hey. Wait.
My head!
You smell like an ashtray.
You have to quit smoking.
When I get out of this bed, I'm gonna
make you quit that filthy habit.
Oh, yeah? When you get out of that bed,
I'll be waiting for you.
Smelling like an ashtray.
No wonder people stay away from you.
Wait!
Slow down.
Slow..
Be careful.
You're hurting me.
Get out.
Get out!
Uh, isn't she Manuel's daughter?
Come in.
Where should we put the stereo?
In the living room.
Compadre!
They're looking for Manuel
Sandoval's daughter.
Obdulio Sandoval?
No, Nina Sandoval.
Any friend of Obdulio is a friend of mine.
And now, our dear friend's
favorite song.
Have more respect for the dead!
You!
What the hell is wrong with you?
You're asking me what happened?
The neighbor called, he said your dad
was screaming in pain...
I can't believe you left your dad
by himself!
You were supposed to take care of him.
Well you're not a little kid anymore,
Olmo.
Where is my fucking car?
Where is my car?
And to top it off, you left the oven on.
It doesn't matter whose turn
it was, I needed help!
You're selfish, you're selfish,
you both are.
I'm not sleeping with him, and
I don't have to explain myself to you.
Olmo, sweetheart.
Dad!
Do you know why we named you Olmo?
Elm wood is very resistant to water.
Ships used to be built from elm wood.
Yes, ships.
I'm afraid of the water, but that
doesn't mean I don't like it.
What?
What the...?
Is that my stereo?
No, in fact, he gifted it to me
on our wedding anniversary.
What were you doing with the stereo?
I don't know how we're going
to pay the rent.
Fuck!
Wait,
I'm going to open up from the inside.
Let them get in first.
One, two, three.
Wait, wait, wait...
Let me move his feet, like that.
You're strong Ana.
Hit it!
Stop, stop!
We're taking the bus.
Make sure you close the window.
One, two, three!
Ready?
No, not yet.
Wait.
Feels good.
Done.
What?
Dammit.

How about a beer and a haircut?
We can make some enchiladas
and beans, what do you think?
Don't eat it, son.
Thank you.
Hello.
