Right here!
We have to go back the other way!
We are lost too.
It's the other way!
Step here!
Can you do it?
No signal!

Can you get a signal?
Has anyone seen the teacher?
Where is the teacher?
I think they abandoned us.

Do you get a signal?
Hi, yes.
Now I do.
Calm down.
The kids are alright.
Don't worry.
No.
I can barely hear you.
Can I have some water?
What for?
No, we should be there
in about five minutes.
No, seriously.
Thanks.
Have some water.
We are arriving now.
Don't worry.
I don't understand.
I used to have...
Yes. The Zonda wind.
Yes, I think so.
Goodbye!
Lucy.
What?
What is happening?
Last night I dreamt about you.
I dreamt about you too.
Here.
You like it?
Yes.
You can have it.
For real?
Yes. Back home I have like four.
Let's see.
It's very loud.
You can turn it down with this knob.
Let me try.
Hello. Do you hear me?
- One, two, three, check, check.
- Yeah.
If you turn it up, you get dazed.
- What?
- We have to get off.
- Let's go.
- Bye.
Bye.
Bye!
We're going that way.
Pehun!
Can I go with you?
Yes! Come!
34, 35, 36,
37, 38, 39...
40, 41, 42, 43...
- What?!
- Don't spy on us.
Okay.
59, 60...
What the hell are you doing?
Go somewhere else.
63, 64, 65, 66, 67...
Do you mind if I hide here with you?
No.
80, 81, 82, 83...
84, 85, 86, 87...
- Turn it off!
- Okay.
93, 94, 95, 96,
97, 98, 99, 100.
Ready or not, here I come!
Let's see what's around here.
And what can I find here?
That's Francesco behind the stairs!
Try and get me, prick!
I am gonna kick your ass!
Dad!
Is there room?
No. It's full.
Fine.
Time to take a shower
and go to bed, kiddo.
Everyone is already leaving.
Let's go!
- Kids, time to go home!
- Let's get him!
Colo at the home base!
- No, Pehun, no!
- Get him!
No! Stop it! Go away!
Don't let him escape! Run, run!
- You should leave.
- Let's talk, my love, it's still dark.
If they find you here, they will kill you.
I'd rather stay than leave.
Come death, you're welcomed.
You're welcomed.
Get out! The orchard walls are high
and hard to climb,
and the place is fatal,
considering who you are.
With the wings of love,
I jumped over these walls.
With the wings of love,
I jumped over these walls.
Love has no limits.
- Love has no limits.
- And your family...
- And your family won't intimidate me!
- "Won't intimidate me!"
Well done, Pehun!
Every time...
Every time there is more and more light.
Do you love me?
Please say that you love me.
You'll swear and I shall believe you,
even though it could be a lie.
I love you.
Where are the mother and the wet nurse?
Is there a cape?
Not for you, Ornella,
you have a different costume.
But I don't like it.
You still have to wear it,
because you're an actress.
I don't like it. It makes me look fat.
- These clothes make you look fat?
- Yes.
- And what about the headband?
- This makes me look fat.
Don't worry.
What about the headband, do you like it?
Yes.
Okay, so we'll keep the headband,
excuse me, Diego, and change the clothes.
- The clothes make me look fat.
- Alright, no problem.
In theater class,
we have lots of costumes. So...
Let's look for a different one.
Me too.
What would you like to wear?
I really mean it.
What do you mean?
I'm not acting.
What?
I love you.
Really?
Yes.
And I thought you should know.
I don't know what to say.
Let's dive in!
Simn!
Can I ask you a favor?
Come here.
WOMEN
We need you to cover for us.
No!
- Come on!
- Stop, Pehun!
You're gonna love it,
the water's very warm.
Hide in there.
Come here.
Close the door.
We have to hurry.
I don't just want kisses.
What should I do?
Does this feel okay?
Yes, I like that.
I think they're in here.
Yes, they're here.
Open the door!
There's nobody in here!
Girls!
Open up!
No!
Girls!
- Don't go in there!
- Leave!
We want to see!
Girls!
No, leave!
Get out of here!
- Open the door!
- Leave!
For God's sake, what happened?
What are you all doing in the bathroom?!
You make it very difficult.
Especially you, Pehun.
I want to help you, but...
How can I if you don't cooperate?
I'm sorry.
Seriously, tell me how to help you!
I don't know.
Pehun, you can have a love life,
but not within these walls.
We have rules here.
Do you understand
that what happened is bad?
Yes, I already said I was sorry.
Yes, but that's not enough.
Every day there's something new with you,
and you think just because you apologize,
you are forgiven,
and everything is okay.
This is your last chance.
I'm sorry.
We were doing Romeo & Juliet
and she was the one who...
- No, I don't want to hear any excuses.
- Please, Alan, let me explain...
We'll see what your mother
has to say about this.
No!
Simn.
What about you?
We don't have any of your records.
Not a single file.
Last week was your first time with us,
wasn't it?
Yes.
Yes.
I told him to come.
You told him to come.
What are you doing here?
He wants to start coming here.
Let him speak.
Alan, come on.
I will need your ID
and your disability certificate.
"I don't have one."
I don't have one.
Excuse me?
I lost it,
but I already started the procedure.
Are you telling him what to say?
I lost it,
but I already started the paperwork.
What paperwork?
"To report the loss."
To report the loss.
We cannot have you here
without your disability certificate.
That's not fair!
What?
What you're saying is not fair.
You admitted a lot of other kids
without their certificates,
but because he is my friend,
you won't let him stay.
We will welcome Simn
when he brings his disability certificate.
Yeah, right.
How long have you been friends?
Three weeks.
- Three weeks?
- Yes.
Excuse me.
- I'm Simn's mother.
- Come in.
- Sit here.
- Thank you.
I'm still trying to understand
what I am doing here.
These things happen.
We just need to deal with them.
Excuse me?
Don't worry.
I would have preferred to meet you
in different circumstances...
I want everyone to be calm,
but I also need to clarify this.
Pehun and Simn...
snuck into the girls' locker room...
and they forced a girl
to do something awful.
You are a liar, Alan! That's not true!
Excuse me?
Alan, it wasn't like that.
- Please, calm down.
- I'm calm!
Breathe.
Please breathe. Here, have some water.
We discovered
he doesn't have any paperwork.
Sorry. I don't understand anything.
He says he lost his certificate.
What certificate?
Mom...
Ma'am.
What certificate did you lose?
- Ma'am.
- Yes.
Take her away.
Let's go.
Sit down.
Well, why don't we start talking...?
Come sit, Simn.
This place is a mess.
Sit down and explain yourself.
I spent the day with a friend.
What's wrong with your phone?
I lost it.
You lost it.
Tell me right now
what you were doing in that place.
I don't have to explain anything to you.
Stop!
Hey, hey, stop it!
Done?
You didn't even give me a kiss today.
It was the first thing I did.
I don't remember.
Liar.
Another one.
Simn.
Simn!
Come on, lazy bum, wake up.
Simn!
What?
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.
Unload the van.
Take a look.
The wind is pulling everything apart.
We can't fix any of that right now.
- The wind destroyed everything.
- Well, of course.
- Are you bringing up the wire?
- I think so.
Simn.
We need to find out if it's long enough.
We can get the boy
to pick up the stones and fold the tarps...
Let's spread the tarps out
as much as we can.
- Okay, help me get them up.
- Alright.
- Let's try them here.
- Okay.
- Here.
- Does it reach?
We're gonna need two more.
It's too small.
No, the roof is too big.
Simn.
So this is not gonna work.
Better yet.
We do the whole procedure here?
Not everything.
We do the first step here.
There is an office upstairs
where they will give you the paperwork.
After that, we will go to a hospital
where a psychiatrist will examine you.
She will ask you the questions,
and you already know
the answers, I imagine.
Yeah.
Third, we come back here,
we hand in the signed paperwork,
and the medical board
will give you your disability certificate.
Pedre, Pehun.
July's welfare payment, please.
VITAL RECORDS OFFICE
Go with her, she's the nice one.
The dumber you seem, the better.
- Hi, Sonia, how are you doing?
- Hi, Pehun. Good and you?
- Fine, thanks.
- Hello.
Hi. I'm here to ask for...
What?
The paperwork...
Of course.
...because I lost mine.
Stop it, Simn.
What are you doing?
The psychiatrist
will fill this out for you
after she examines you, okay?
I sign it here.
No, sweetheart, don't sign it.
Will you give it to me?
- Give it to me!
- No!
- Give it to me.
- I'm signing it.
Give it to me!
I'm sorry, he is a bit deaf.
- Don't worry.
- Can I have another one?
Yes, right away.
Can you take that out of your mouth?
How am I doing?
Good. Three and a half stars.
I'm gonna pretend to be mute.
Only you will speak.
Do you prefer in the front or the back?
In the back?
Front row?
My brother and I are both disabled,
but I lost my certificate.
I can't give you two tickets
without your certificate.
Don't worry, I will go as his companion.
What I can do is give you one ticket
and you pay for the other.
Here it says "No companion needed."
This is unacceptable. Can't you see me?
- I understand but can't do anything.
- You made him cry!
Let's go.
Hey! Give the kids the tickets!
Let them in!
How come you don't let them in?
Tell him to call the manager.
Let them in.
Call the manager.
For me,
when I fight with someone,
I won't stop until I see him on the floor.
That happens to me when I'm medicated.
When you're on meds,
you don't care about anything.
The drug cocktail is so big...
I was so drugged once
that I climbed on top of the fridge
and was selling tickets from there
for a Boca vs. River soccer game
that was going to be played
three weeks later.
You could get hit by a car
and you wouldn't even notice it.
You can also kill someone
without realizing it.
But then, when you come back to reality,
you regret what you did.
You get me?
Yes.
Makes me wanna try them.
I don't think that's a good idea.
C'mon, man, please.
Okay, fine.
If you take too much by mistake,
you need to call a doctor.
Don't mix them with alcohol.
I mean, you can drink alcohol, but only
three hours before taking the meds.
Four pills max.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
I'm sorry, but you shouldn't go there.
You're making fun of those kids.
Who says I'm making fun of those kids?
They are my friends!
They're not your friends,
I know your friends.
Yes, they are my friends.
Let's talk man to man, Simn.
We are talking.
Romeo and Juliet is not theater for kids.
It's kids' theater.
It's not childish!
It's a children's play.
Have you ever seen the play?!
I have! It's kids' theater.
Don't dispute the obvious!
- It is not!
- Simn, shut up!
- Have you seen it?!
- Cut it out! Shut up!
It's not kids' theater.
That's a shitload of money.
Lotta cash.
Yeah, I bet that's 20,000 pesos.
No way!
More, like 35,000.
- No!
- Like 80,000.
I don't know how much there is.
It's 58,700.
Load it all!
I almost guessed it!
Can you drive real cars?
Yes, what about you?
This is my training.
Go, go, go!
She sucked her nipples
with the vacuum cleaner,
that's why they're so big.
Hey! That's cheating!
Can you lend me your card?
- What for?
- Basketball.
No. My card is just for car races.
Come on, man, just one game!
I'll pay you back.
I heard that Mercedes Lozano put a shoe
in her vagina during swimming class.
I heard the same.
Something this big, you know?!
That's way too much!
You are making it up. That's impossible.
Why? Why would it be impossible?
Have you ever stuck something up there?
Yes, of course. Lots of times.
- I don't think you've even kissed anyone.
- Yes, I have.
Oh yeah? Show us. Do it with him.
Come on, it's a little kiss!
Yeah, it's not a big deal.
You're gonna die from a kiss?
Come on, it's just a friend's kiss.
Go on, just do it!
Long live love!
A kiss must last at least 60 seconds.
Go, go!
Fifty-nine, fifty-eight,
fifty-seven, fifty-six,
fifty-five, fifty-four, fifty-three,
fifty-two, fifty-one, fifty.
Now touch her hair.
No, you touch hers.
Now touch her butt.
No, it isn't right.
Fine.
Touch her shoulder.
Now, touch her elbow.
Now, touch her butt.
No, stop it, Colo.
What's the difference between the hair,
a shoulder, an elbow, a knee or the butt?
It's all the same!
- Do you like each other?
- No.
So?
Now touch her boob.
- No, do it like this.
- Stop it, Colo, that's it.
Is he alright?
Dude...
Damn, he cracked his head open!
- Get somebody!
- Someone get Roberto.
Now, quick!
There's blood.
Roberto!
We need to get help.
Hurry up!
Don't yell at him!
Now I can read your thoughts,
because I drank your blood.
Then you must know that I think you're...
That I'm very what?
Very intelligent.
- Who are you?
- Dracula.
Dracula?
Let me see.
Dracula.
2002: the return of Draculeo...
Paint my eyebrows so I look more evil.
Put a mask on me.
Gomez Addams!
I want to see myself on the TV...
Your head didn't jerk
when you were little.
Let me see.
Gomez.
No, that...
that started when I was older.
We're very happy today.
When I started taking the medication.
- Are you tired?
- No.
Hamlet. Long live Hamlet!
Come on, say your lines as you always do!
But we have already!
- Hamlet...
- Fine, Hamlet, let's do it.
- To be...
- This one!
To be...
To be...
Or not to be...
And not to be...
No, you don't say that!
Oh, okay.
- If this excessive...
- No, you shouldn't say that!
That's my dad.
- "Solid"...
- ... solid.
- "Body of flesh..."
- Body flesh...
- "Could soften..."
- Could soften...
- "Dissolve itself..."
- Dissolve itself...
- "Rain..."
- Rain...
- "Of tears..."
- Of tears...
"I know thee!"
Know thee...
Mister John Know Thee!
No, you're saying nonsense!
Do it like you did before!
Do you want to be my boyfriend?
We're just getting to know each other.
We can get to know each other even more.
But we're just getting...
Hello.
Hello.
Who is she?
- This is Colo.
- Hello.
What were you up to?
Nothing.
We went to the arcade.
And where do you live?
In Bermejo.
Agus...
Can you drive her to Bermejo?
Sure.
He'll take you home.
Say goodbye to each other.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Thanks.
- What street in Bermejo?
- I don't know.
What's that on your ear?
I'm not hearing well, Mom.
What?
I didn't want you to worry.
Since when don't you hear well?
Something's going on with you, Simn.
You are acting strange.
Strange?
Yes.
Strange how?
I don't know, you tell me.
I don't know.
Come on, tell me.
I don't know.
What don't you know?
Please.
You are the one who is strange.
Me?
Sad.
God.
Yes.
I feel like I've always been this way.
God.
I think that tomorrow...
we're going to a hospital...
and after some exams,
we're putting an end to this story.
Alright?
- No.
- No, what?
No, Mom. I'm not ready yet.
What's wrong with you?
You're stubborn, you won't tell me...
What's wrong with you?
Tell me the truth.
I don't know, Mom.
I'd tell you if I knew, but I don't.
Could you stop jerking your head?!
Sorry, I don't do it on purpose.
Well, stop doing it in front of me!
I don't like it
when you talk to me like that.
Forget it. Forget what I said.
Just pretend I didn't say anything.
But you did.
I just didn't picture you with...
With Colo.
Do you like her?
No.
Then why do you hang out with her?
No reason. We're becoming friends.
Great.
Does it bother you?
It does bother me.
Good night.
The roof needs fixing.
A tin roof.
- On this side.
- We'll keep the wood, it's okay.
What did you do?
I'm sorry.
No, leave it. Go to the van.
Go.
- Don't cut yourself.
- Sorry about this.
- I'll prepare a quote for you.
- Thanks.
- I'm sorry.
- Don't worry.
What's wrong with you, stupid? Cut it out!
What are you doing?
Stop the car now, Simn!
Turn off the engine, Simn.
Open up, Simn!
Simn!
Get out!
- Stop it!
- Stop!
You're gonna get electrocuted!
Don't be crazy,
it's just a battery with a cable!
What are you doing?
My finger got all black.
It looks like you cried.
This tastes a little weird.
Disgusting!
Here you are, eat this chip!
Hello.
Hello? Pehun?
Hang up!
Hello?
Hang up!
Hello?
Hey! Simn!
Catch them!
You are disgusting!
Pass them to him.
- Hand them over.
- Here you are.
It's my mom's boyfriend.
He'll keep on calling. Turn that off.
Pass me the chips!
Potato chips festival!
Chips festival, brother!
- Take that!
- Hey, give me the chips!
- Chips war!
- Stop!
Here you are...
On top of the fact that he is our driver.
No!
- What's wrong with you?
- Open your mouth!
Stop the car!
- Open your mouth!
- Have more chips!
Oh no, ass-flavored chips!
Feed the baby!
Stop the car!
Can I drive?
Give it to him!
Give him chips!
Eat, baby, eat!
Oh no.
- You don't know how to drive!
- Shut up!
Adjust your seat.
I don't feel safe with Pehun driving.
- May I drive?
- No, let me drive.
I've been driving
since I was ten years old!
Why not me?
Anybody, but Pehun.
Pehun is going to drive.
There are three pedals.
Just so you know, if we get in a crash,
the nearest hospital is three hours away.
- And the nearest morgue?
- Shut up!
None of you can drive.
Which is that one?
- He can't drive.
- What if the police stop us?
Push it.
You're 15, you're 16.
What if something happens to me?
Push it...
and then let it go slowly.
And the van will start to move.
I prefer to die.
Let's go.
There you go.
Easy, easy... Look ahead.
- That's it.
- Breathe in...
Come on,
get Pehun out of the driver's seat.
Eyes on the road!
- It's fine, go on.
- Shut up!
- Eyes on the road!
- I know, shut up!
I don't feel safe...
Shut up!
If I were driving,
this wouldn't be happening.
Come on, Pehun, stop!
- Wanna go faster?
- Pehun will crash the car.
He has no driving licence.
Yes.
Step on it all the way.
That's it! Nice!
In ten years,
you'll look back on this moment
and you'll say "I know how to drive.
My friend Simn taught me!"
Wait up!
Faster!
Come over!
Hold up.
It's in perfect condition!
I'll fix it and take it with me.
Watch out!
Stop it!
Stop it!
Break its skull!
Stop it!
Give it to me.
NO SWIMMING
Mess it up!
Watch out!
Hit it!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Be careful!
Let's go, motherfuckers!
- Hit it!
- Come on!
Break everything!
Come on!
Simn!
Come here!
Come on, guys!
Wait up!
Pehun, Pehu, Pehu!
That was amazing!
Come on, guys!
Give it to me!
No, I want it! I'll carry it.
One, two, three!
No, give it to me!
Let me, it's my turn!
Let Colo go.
Come on, Colo. Get in.
Colo!
Colo!
Colo!
Are you okay?
Colo!
Colo!
Swim to shore!
Colo!
Swim! Colo, swim!
Swim!
Hang in there, Colo!
Colo!
It's over.
Are you okay?
I don't feel anything.
Colo, are you okay?
Your jacket!
Hurry!
Hang in there, Colo.
It's okay.
I'm very cold.
Rub harder.
That's it, Colo, you'll be fine.
Come on, let's go!
I'm so cold.
Easy. It's over.
I'm cold.
We're on our way home.
It's over. It's all good.
Are you feeling better?
No.
Okay.
I'll take your temperature again,
and then you go to sleep, okay?
Come here.
Come closer, Simn.
You are freezing.
Do you want to take a hot shower too?
Thank you.
Go take a shower.
Come here.
What book did you grab?
Anthology.
Can you read it to me?
"In the year 1913,
while traveling back
from Saratov to Moscow,
I was with a friend
to whom I wanted to show..."
I'm going to sleep.
If you need anything, I'm right next door.
- Should I continue?
- Start over.
"In the year 1913,
while traveling back
from Saratov to Moscow,
I was with a friend...
to whom I wanted to look harmless,
and I told her..."
Can I lie down too?
Yes.
Does it hurt here?
What are you doing?
Your hair is so long!
What do you want?
Nothing.
If you don't like my hair, I'll cut it.
- It's not your hair.
- Then what?
No.
It wasn't 60 seconds.
Lie down with me.
No.
It's...
It's very important
that you are my first, Simn.
If you don't make love to me,
I'll tell everyone that you are an actor.
You are not disabled.
Why are you doing this to us?
I don't know what's got into you.
Agustn opened up his house for us.
He gave you a job,
and this is how you repay him?
That van is Agustn's work tool!
Yeah, yeah.
Look at me, Simn.
No.
You're going to look for a job
and another place to live.
We reached our limit.
He's not even listening to you.
- Can I have some?
- No.
Come on, please.
What did we say?
- I don't...
- Stop it, Simn.
Come on.
Alright, that's it.
I'm gonna fix your room,
and you're going to bed.
It's on the floor, idiot.
What are you doing with that knife?
You wanna fight?
Go to your room,
or this will end badly, Simn.
Give me that knife.
Let me go, Mom.
