Stories Not To Be Told (2022) Movie Script
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU
Laura!
Hi, I didn't see you. How are you?
- Fine! Great! And you?
- Fine!
You never come anymore.
Fiona keeps asking about Bobo.
I see. I've been out of town.
You been busy?
Very, very busy.
- May I?
- Sure.
- You're off work today?
- Yes, I went for a run with her.
I can see that.
Can I have one?
Sure. I didn't know you smoked.
Here.
What?
I'm getting dizzy.
- Are you alright?
- Yes.
Good!
- Leaving so soon?
- I wanted to see an exhibit.
Since I ever hardly have time,
now's my chance.
- What kind of exhibit?
- About David Bowie.
- See, you really are cool.
- You think so?
Going to a David Bowie exhibit?
Super cool.
I was going to make some food
in Tupperware for next week.
I'm pretty cool, too, aren't I?
Sure.
Don't knock Tupperware!
Well, let's go. I have to go too.
Bobo! Let's go.
See how Fiona's limping?
She's been doing that for a few days.
- A few days? How many?
- I don't know. What could be wrong?
She may need to get her paw cut off.
Check to see if she's got a thorn
between her toes.
Yeah but...
I'm a bit squeamish about this.
- And your...?
- Raul?
He's not here.
He's away on a business trip,
but Raul and Fiona don't really...
I'll take Bobo upstairs
and come take a look, if you want.
Really? You're very kind.
Yes, I know.
Go on, Fiona.
Just a sec...
Come in.
Wow, I didn't remember
how big this apartment is.
- It's like three times mine.
- We're lucky. It belongs to Raul's parents.
- Where should we...?
- What about a table?
Come on.
Here we go.
Here?
- Lay her down and hold her legs.
- Ok.
They go into the bushes
and they step on something.
Bobo does it all the time.
Next month I'm leaving.
Where to?
- Leaving the building.
- Why?
The owners are selling my apartment.
That's terrible.
Will you both still come to the park?
I doubt it, it's going to be a bit far.
I'm moving downtown.
I found an apartment with
a small terrace. It's perfect for Bobo.
We'll miss you.
Fiona can't live
without your dog's drool.
I can imagine.
Look! Right here!
There! Got it!
Do you want a brownie?
I made some.
- You'll seem rude if you say no.
- Okay.
There's hot coffee, if you want.
Excuse me.
I'll wash my hands here, okay?
I always forget. Your book.
What book?
The one you lent me.
You don't remember?
No.
We met, you just had finished
reading it and you lent it to me.
Did you read it?
Twice.
Twice?
Have a seat.
- Delicious, I know.
- Very.
I'll give you some
to take home.
You don't have to.
I do, Raul doesn't like them.
What?
I've cut myself.
It's okay,
I cut myself all the time too.
There's blood pouring out!
Laura?
Come with me.
- It's not that bad.
- I know, I'm very squeamish.
- Does it hurt you there?
- No.
What would you have done today
without me?
You're right!
I should go. Let's see
if I get to the exhibit in time.
Can I leave you here alone
or should I take you to the hospital?
- I'm fine.
- Or you can come with me and...
then we can go to eat a pizza or...
Sorry, I didn't mean...
Okay, yeah!
Okay.
Hello.
- Hello.
- What a surprise!
- What?
- Weren't you coming back tonight?
Yes, but we ended our meetings
and changed our flights.
- What were you doing?
- Nothing, I wasn't doing anything.
Who came over?
Delia.
She came and we had coffee.
- Want a brownie?
- No, you know I don't like them.
She left her keys.
Who?
Delia.
Yes.
Didn't she have two cats?
Why?
She has a bone on her key chain.
She got the wrong one
when she bought it.
Sometimes we all make mistakes,
we do things without knowing why,
but we do them.
Nobody's perfect.
Not you, not me, not Delia, nobody.
Fiona!
Enough!
What's wrong with her?
Why is she barking so much?
She's nervous!
We have mice again!
- Again?
- Again.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
We should go buy traps or poison
before they close.
Stay.
Why don't we go shopping?
- Don't you want to?
- Your breath smells weird.
Smoking again?
No.
Don't you want a pizza?
We could go to a pizzeria, couldn't we?
My stomach is killing me.
Something I ate made me sick.
Let's go shopping
and I'll cook something that sits well.
- What do you feel like?
- A shower.
- Let's take a shower.
- Now?
I feel like fucking.
I know but a shower... not a shower.
- Do you want to fuck?
- really do, I can't wait!
But first, let's go shopping.
I like to fuck better in the afternoon.
I'm going to pee. Put your shoes on.
And we'll go.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
It's all right.
- It's not. I'm so nervous!
- Calm down.
- What happened earlier? You pushed me.
- I know, I pushed you.
- Why? We weren't doing anything.
- It was an impulse, I'm sorry.
Sorry.
This is a scene from some other movie.
Nothing happened between us.
I know, I'm very ashamed.
Sorry!
Why don't we just act
like nothing's wrong?
Okay.
I'll be right out. We'll act normal.
I came over to help with Fiona,
you forgot to say
I was in the bathroom...
I'll come out and that's that.
So what am I doing peeing
in here with you?
- Right.
- No. Listen.
We're going shopping now.
You wait a couple of minutes and go.
Don't let anyone see you leave
and that's it.
You forgive me
and forget all about this.
- We'll laugh about this in the park.
- Yes.
Will you come and say goodbye
before you move?
Of course.
- Okay. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Laura.
What?
- Who are you talking to?
- I'll be right out!
- Why did you lock yourself in?
- I'm ready.
That was Delia.
I told her about the keys.
Let's go.
- I need to go to the bathroom.
- You can go later!
Let's go.
My stomach's upset.
No, let's fuck.
Come on!
- Now?
- Didn't you want to fuck? Let's fuck.
- But you just told me you'd rather...
- I saw the shower and I'm hot now.
Raul, let's go to bed.
No, you go ahead.
I just need... See if we have
any condoms left, I'll be right out.
Raul, it's your sister!
Raul!
Raul!
- It's your sister.
- What's going on? Why are you shouting?
It's your sister, maybe it's important.
Aren't you going to answer?
I'll call her later.
Aren't we going to bed?
Later.
Later. I don't feel like it now.
Let's go before they close.
Laura.
What's going on?
Nothing, why?
I don't know,
you're acting strange.
I'll be fine. Let's go.
A little fresh air is what I need.
Don't try to understand me.
Fiona, what have you done?
Wait, I'll help you.
Don't worry, I'll do it.
Get her out of here before I kick her.
That would be almost as if you hit me.
- It's just a dog, Laura.
- It's just some cactus, Raul.
LAURA!
YOU FORGOT YOUR PHONE!
I CALLED YOU
I COULDN'T GET OUWHERE ARE YOU?
What are you looking for?
- What?
- What are you looking for?
My boots.
- Why? Are you leaving?
- I don't know.
Because of what happened earlier?
It's over!
Let's make up!
Don't you realize what happened to us?
Not really.
It's like I don't even know you.
Yeah...
Move!
IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM
Stop!
- What are you doing?
- Trying to open the door.
You'll break it. What do you want?
The broom...
to clean up what your dog broke.
That broom's really old.
Let's get another one.
I think I threw it away.
How did you open the door the other day?
I don't remember.
But we need a new broom!
It's just a broom.
- Do you have to cry over this?
- That's not why...
I think you opened it
with a screwdriver.
It's not fair.
It's not fair, Raul,
because it's not what it looks like.
It's going to look like
I'm to blame and I'm not.
I've always tried to do the right thing
and although I'm sure
I've made mistakes,
you've also been distant
and in a bad mood so often.
What is it doing here?
We've forgotten
to love each other, Raul.
We've forgotten that.
Do you understand?
- Yes, we forgot to love each other.
- That's why this has happened.
What has happened?
I'm not in love
with you anymore.
I just realized it a while ago.
We're going to have to split up,
you see?
- Do you really mean that?
- I think so.
We never do anything together anymore,
we're always with other people
so we won't fight,
you don't come to meet me at work
to go out for lunch like you used to.
How did this happen to us?
I don't know.
Let me get the broom, I'll clean up,
we'll cook something delicious
and keep talking.
We're not in love anymore,
and it makes me very sad.
And when did you realize it?
Last summer.
Last summer.
What happened last summer?
I read a book.
You read a book and you realized
you didn't love me anymore?
Yes.
Are you in love with someone else?
What does that matter?
It matters.
I think so.
Shit.
Okay, okay.
- Who is he?
- Our neighbor, Alex.
We haven't done anything.
I'd never cheat on you.
It's Fiona's fault.
We met in the park walking the dogs
and we got to know each other.
You understand, don't you?
Does he feel the same way?
I don't know.
Laura.
- You can tell about these things.
- I don't know.
I guess so.
Ask him.
You want me to ask him?
It's just that he's here
but it's not what it looks like.
- Here? Where?
- In there.
Laura!
Do you want me to take you
to the hospital?
- No.
- You're having a breakdown.
- Let's sit down.
- No.
Raul, please! Ask him!
Alex!
Are you in love with my wife?
- I think so.
- See?
What are you doing there?
It really isn't what it looks like.
If you don't mind,
I'll be the judge of that.
Raul.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Were you here when I came home earlier?
Yes.
What were you doing in my house?
- Nothing, really!
- Nothing.
We met in the park, Fiona was limping
and I came to see to her paw.
So, if you weren't up to anything,
why were you in there?
Because she pushed me.
Yes, I pushed him.
You pushed him.
We were in the bathroom
and she pushed me.
Why did you push him?
Because I'm in love with him.
I didn't know until I pushed him.
It's not easy to understand.
No, it isn't.
- Laura...
- I know.
Were you in the bathroom when I...?
- I don't know what to say.
- Don't say anything.
I'm so sorry. I mean it.
So am I.
It's nobody's fault.
I guess.
Excuse me.
WHERE ARE YOU?
IN A BAR. AND YOU?
I'M AT MY SISTER'S PLACE
I'll MOVE IN.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU
FIRST, WE'LL HAVE LUNCH...
AND THEN WE'LL KISS
SANDRA
- Hello, Luis.
- Hello.
Was it today you were coming?
Yes, Friday. You didn't remember?
Yes, when did you get here?
This morning on the fast train.
- Were you sleeping?
- No, fucking.
Come on in.
I suppose you brought sheets.
Of course.
- Who is it, Carlos?
- I'm Luis. Hi, Ana.
He's brought his sheets again!
So,
you're staying all weekend?
No, I'm leaving first thing
in the morning.
Stay. We can go out.
Where do you have to go?
Tarragona. To my nephew's christening.
- Can I make one of my ironic comments?
- No.
You two carry on.
I'll go by the pharmacy
and then we can have a drink.
Okay. Wait for us at the bar,
the usual place.
It won't be long.
We were already in overtime.
Hello...
a sparkling water, please.
You wouldn't have a Kleenex, by any...?
Yes, I think so.
- Here.
- Thank you.
It's a bit of a sad novel
and I was moved by it.
Were you?
Sometimes things touch us and...
Yes.
I think they made a movie of it,
with that famous English actress.
- I'm an actress too.
- Really?
Well, aspiring.
Meanwhile, I'm working as a waitress.
- It's a tough profession, isn't it?
- What?
You have to keep at it. Never give up.
Yes.
Hello... I can't hear you. Hold on.
The next time you bring your own sheets,
I'll get angry and make you sleep
in the parking lot.
Two beers, please.
Carlos told me you can't stay
the whole weekend
because you have a christening.
Because he's got a proper family,
not like mine.
How are you two doing?
Carlos is still very much
in love with me.
- You are?
- Yes, I don't know what's wrong with me.
And how are you?
Fine, same as usual.
She wants to know if you have any news,
other than work and sleep.
- Your Kleenex.
- No need, keep them.
I don't think I'll cry anymore.
I'll give you a brochure.
It's micro theater.
We're doing a show in the center.
I don't know
if you are familiar with it.
Yes, a little, but I've never been...
I'll be there.
Nice to meet you and thank you.
You're welcome.
What an interesting girl!
Luis?
What happened here?
- Nothing.
- Not nothing.
- Did you know her?
- No, we were talking for a moment.
Signs. Haven't you seen the flag?
What signs? What flags?
The flag that says I'm here alone,
I like you,
I'm inviting you to the theater...
What was that about crying?
She was crying
and I gave her some Kleenex.
- Do you realize how romantic that is?
- Is it?
Yes, really!
Come on, we'll finish our beer
and go to the theater.
- You guys go. I...
- Luis. It's over.
- It's over?
- Forget about Marisa.
It's been a year since you separated.
Forget about her.
She left you for someone else.
- You need to get laid.
- You need to get laid.
Until you sleep with another woman,
you'll never get Marisa out of your system.
That's true.
We'll go to the theater now,
no expectations.
Nothing's going to happen...
- because no one is flirting.
- Thanks to both of you but...
No. Come on.
Finish your soda.
- So?
- So?
Did you like it?
Yes.
- The idea was quite original.
- And she was very funny. And pretty.
She's a good actress.
- So go tell her.
- Right. Go ahead.
She's with people now. Let's wait.
She'll think you didn't like it.
- Why?
- Because we girls are like that.
Go say hello,
congratulate her on the show.
And it's fine.
We came because we like the theater,
not because you want
anything from her.
Here we go.
- Introduce us.
- But I don't know her name!
- See you later at the bar.
- See you!
Hello.
- Hi, thanks for coming.
- We loved it, congratulations.
Thank you.
- It was Luis who forced us to come.
- Well, I'm glad.
When I saw you there,
I got a little nervous.
Did you notice?
No, not at all.
- I'm Sandra.
- I'm Ana.
- I'm Carlos, he's Luis.
- I'm Luis.
- Hello, Luis.
- Hello.
Did you really like it?
Luis, you said
it was a very original idea.
- Yes, very original.
- Thank you very much.
Anywhere round here to go for a drink?
Right nearby, if you want to come
with the others from the show.
Sure!
I loved your shirt in the show.
I've been telling him to move back here,
but there's no way.
Maybe if you tell him...
And why did you go to live in Madrid?
For work and then I married
a woman from Madrid.
But you split up.
You've run out of excuses.
Do you have children?
No, she got pregnant...
but it wasn't mine.
Dammit, Luis! Don't start
telling her all your troubles.
You've just met.
He has none but he'd like to.
Me too.
But he's already got one.
Don't do what I did!
Look for someone who has none.
- We've gotta get going.
- Coming.
So soon?
We've got more shows
at a different venue.
What a shame!
- You have to ask her for her phone number.
- Now?
- Yes, now.
- But she's with her friends.
You're gonna be out of the game.
Let's not start
with the sports metaphors.
Thanks for coming.
On the contrary!
Well...
- Goodbye, Luis.
- Goodbye.
I was about to
but you were looking at me.
She asked me
to give you her phone number.
She was too embarrassed
to do it herself.
You're in the game!
- From Sandra? What does it say?
- Stuff.
- What stuff? She's all of ours.
- All of ours?
I mean, we're sharing this...
- What did she write you?
- She feels like dancing.
And what else does it say?
They're going to a club later on.
- What club?
- I don't know but I'm not going.
- Not today, not yet.
- But Sandra wants to dance.
- I need more time.
- Time for what?
To prepare myself psychologically.
It's been over ten years since I've been
with a woman who wasn't Marisa.
- That's what I'm like. I need...
- Cocaine. A line will do you good.
I think we have some left over
from last week.
And get a couple of condoms!
Don't look at me like that.
Nothing will happen but just in case.
- You have to eat something.
- I'm not hungry.
You have to eat.
I'll make you some scrambled eggs.
Stick to the same mental strategy.
Luis...
- When was the last time you jerked off?
- What?
- When was the last time you jerked off?
- Go on.
- Come on.
- Cocaine makes me nervous.
- It's very mild. Go on!
Do it!
Otherwise you come too fast
and the woman is left unsatisfied.
I know it's not going to happen but...
You look like a priest, Luis.
I'll get you one of Carlos' shirts.
I haven't seen him like this in years.
Let's go, so they'll be on their own.
Without telling them?
We'll ruin their fun if we do.
He's an idiot.
He is.
You're leaving?
Don't you like the music?
You've had better days.
We leave my friend. He's with a girl.
Yes, with Sandra. I've seen them.
- Do you know her?
- Yes, she worked here as a bartender.
Does she have a boyfriend?
No, she used to but not now.
Since the transition and the whole
process I think she's been single.
I'm glad she's with your friend.
Which process?
I thought you already knew Sandra.
We met tonight and went to see her play.
- She's actually totally amazing.
- That's how she seems.
What transition?
Well, nice to see you.
- Nice to see you too.
- Come back soon.
Sandra was a boy?
Why are you making that face?
- What face?
- That frightened face.
It's a thinking face. It's fine.
Of course, it's fine,
why wouldn't it be?
No reason.
Let's go before they see us.
Should we get a cab?
I'm a little tired.
Luis is going to be angry.
He's going to be angry?
What does that mean?
He's going to be angry
if we don't tell him.
I don't know why.
Look...
he wanted to stay home, depressed,
thinking about Marisa
we forced him to go out,
do cocaine
and eat scrambled eggs
and now he's here giving it his all,
and getting his hopes up.
What are you implying?
Nothing.
She's amazing, I like her very much,
and I think it's great
she's been through the process.
That's not how it looks.
- What's not how it looks?
- Your prejudices.
I'm just saying that
if they end up in bed
it might not be what he's expecting.
It's none of your business!
Don't tell me you've got outdated views.
I think we should tell him.
I don't see why.
They are having fun
and telling him or not is up to her.
- Where are you going?
- To take a look.
To take a look at what?
- The atmosphere!
- The atmosphere? Carlos!
Carlos!
Hi!
We thought you had left.
Where were you?
Getting some air, Ana felt dizzy.
- She's better now, right honey?
- You're not feeling well?
Yeah, from putting up
with this pain in the neck.
- Shall we go for a smoke, Luis?
- No, thanks.
- I have some grass.
- I quit.
Just for a moment.
He said he doesn't smoke.
Sit down.
So Sandra,
apart from theater,
have you worked on series or films?
You're a good actress.
I already told her.
I played a small character in a series.
A friend of mine does casting.
I can tell her about you.
Thanks. I've also been an extra in movies.
Whatever comes up.
You'll get lucky in the end, I'm sure.
I knew it wasn't going to be easy.
Have you got any more...
cocaine?
- What? You said you didn't like it.
- I feel like some now.
Do you want some?
I hardly ever do, but...
Luis, I don't think we brought it.
You have it there.
Look!
Ah, yes.
Well...
We'll be right back.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Luis!
Luis?
Carlos! What on earth are you doing?
It's been more than 20 minutes.
So what?
You're acting like a member of Opus Dei.
They've left without saying goodbye.
- Maybe they went out for a smoke.
- Luis doesn't smoke.
Maybe Sandra does.
They're over there.
Don't make that face.
Plus, nobody was on the prowl,
were they?
Let's walk home, come on.
- Where were you?
- Shopping.
I didn't want to wake you up.
- What time is it?
-9:30.
Luis had an early train. That's odd.
What is?
- Maybe something happened to him.
- I don't like what you're implying.
I'm not implying anything.
I just say that his family
is very traditional
and it's strange he missed
his train and the christening.
I can fall out of love in a flash,
and before you know it,
I'll pack all my bags.
It's Luis' phone.
It's your fault he left it here.
How is it my fault?
You made him change his shirt and jacket
to look more attractive. And now look.
- Hello?
- Luis?
No, it's Carlos.
- Hello, I'm his sister.
- Hello, how are you?
It's his sister.
Luis?
He's in the shower.
We were out late last night,
we came back late,
- and he missed the train.
- He'll be late.
Yes, he'll be late.
I'll tell him to call you, bye.
She's angry,
he's gonna miss the ceremony.
I'm leaving.
- Where to?
- I don't know, to find him.
- Why?
- Maybe he got dizzy at some point
in his adventure, and he fainted
and he has hit his head on the floor
and he's disoriented.
Or at some hospital,
or lying on the street somewhere...
Or he's sick from the cocaine
you gave him.
So now it's all because of the cocaine.
You caused all this mess
from the moment Sandra appeared.
Act normal, like nothing is wrong.
Have you looked at yourself?
Hello.
Hello.
How are you?
Fine. Were you about to leave?
No, we were here, talking...
Yes, we were talking.
- What about you?
- Tired. I haven't slept much.
May I come in?
- Sure.
- Yes, come on in.
- Do you want some coffee?
- No, thanks. I had breakfast with Sandra.
Where? In a bar?
No, at her house.
Sandra's?
Yes, we were starving
when we woke up...
Normal.
I wanted to call you,
but I left my phone here.
We noticed.
We were a little worried.
Why?
Since you had the christening
and the early train...
And we weren't sure
how the whole thing would turn out...
Very well.
- Good.
- How nice.
I walked her to the subway,
because she had to work
at the restaurant.
I'm so happy for you.
Really. For both of you.
- And you didn't want to go out...
- Yes, that's true.
Here's your shirt.
- You were right, it's been a success.
- I'm happy for you.
I'll hurry over to catch a fast train.
My sister will kill me.
Go with him so you can maybe talk.
About what?
We don't talk.
- Don't you want him to drive you?
- No, thanks.
- You must be tired.
- Not really.
I'll get there faster by subway
and I feel like being alone.
- Sure.
- Sure.
Goodbye, Ana, thanks.
Good to see you
and I'm glad about everything!
- Everything!
- Thank you.
You've got your sheets, I suppose.
Of course. And thank you.
Why?
Because you were right,
Marisa's gone...
I've got her out of my mind.
She's gone.
You see? Just like I said.
I'll call you.
- Ciao.
- Ciao.
ON TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS
Carol?
Blanca.
Hi!
- What a coincidence!
- Yes, it is.
- Are you here for the audition?
- Yes, you too?
- Yes, here we are again.
- You look very pretty.
- You look better.
- No, you look very pretty.
We're terrible, we never get together.
- Let's do lunch sometime, okay?
- Whenever you want.
- Next week's better.
- Okay.
I've got my daughter this week.
Hello, we're here for the audition.
One moment please.
We're running late but in 15 minutes
we will notify you.
You can wait over there.
Thanks.
- Angela!
- Hi!
- Hi!
- How are you?
How are you?
- You're here too.
- Yes.
You've already had your audition?
I just finished.
It went very well but you never know.
You never know.
Have you both learned all the lines?
Do you know to cry?
- What?
- They just want to see if you can cry.
I don't know how to cry, I never cry.
I'm so-so...
- Didn't you get a script?
- What?
I'm auditioning
for a different character.
Which one?
I don't know, a different one.
Were you leaving?
Yes, but I'm in no rush, shall we go
for a smoke while you're waiting?
- I thought you quit.
- Yes, but I forget.
I know him, but I don't know how.
I saw him pull up
on a motorcycle earlier.
From Claudia's wedding.
It's true, he was at Claudia's wedding.
What was his name?
I don't remember.
You should remember.
- You danced with him for a long time.
- Me?
- Victor.
- That's it, Victor, yes.
He's Basque, a photographer,
he's a friend of Claudia's boyfriend,
they were at school together.
How do you know all that?
- Did you dance with him too?
- Yes, but not at the wedding.
When?
At a party, I met him by chance
and we danced.
- Don't play Ms. Mysterious.
- I'm not playing Ms. Mysterious.
Hadn't we better go in?
- I can't tell you about it.
- Why can't you tell us?
Because he's married, that's why.
Is he married?
- Did you sleep with him?
- Yes, I slept with him.
How many times?
I don't want to talk about
this anymore.
You're the one who started!
If she doesn't want to tell us,
that's fine.
We both drank a lot.
His wife was out of town
and he came to the party,
we started touching each other and...
making out in the kitchen
when no one was looking...
...and we ended up at a hotel.
- A hotel?
- Yes.
We spent the whole weekend
without leaving the room.
- I'm happy for you.
- Well, it wasn't really...
- Later on...
- Later on, what?
He became obsessed with me
and he forced me to do stuff that...
- What stuff?
- Stuff.
- What stuff?
- Stuff like fucking in his car.
We went to the movies
and he wanted me to suck him off,
which I didn't mind, I did, but...
But what?
It was all a bit too much.
Early in the morning,
he would tell his wife
that he was going out for a jog,
but he would run over to my place.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 7:30,
I had him on top of me.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Once he even tied me up.
He tied you up? Where did he tie you?
To the heating radiator.
- To the radiator?
- I had a hard time getting untied.
You see? We need to meet more often.
Well...
- And you don't see each other anymore?
- No.
No, I don't want to do that
to another woman.
I've been cheated on too and it's awful.
You did the right thing, Angela,
because in the end
he would have left you
with no warning,
from one day to the next
and you would've been devastated,
so that was best.
He was in love with me.
Men don't only fall
in love with you, Blanca.
No, of course not, she didn't mean that.
- She got angry.
- Yes.
- I don't know why she got angry.
- You know what she's like...
and you interrupted her a couple times.
- When did I cut her off?
- While she was telling us about it,
it seemed like you wanted
to change the subject,
maybe you did it by accident.
Shall we go in? They might call us.
- Monica Ruiz?
- That's me.
Come with me please.
This way.
Shall we sit down?
What about you?
Will you do that play you told me about?
You weren't listening to me.
I did it on purpose.
- What?
- Change the subject.
Change the subject... why?
Because she made me very uncomfortable.
Why did she make you so uncomfortable?
Because it's a lie!
- What's a lie?
- Everything.
Everything she said.
- Her affair with Victor.
- What do you mean it's a lie?
- She made it up.
- She made it up?
Why?
You know her,
she likes making up stories
and if it makes her feel good
then let her lie, right?
And how do you know?
How do you know?
Because he told me.
- We flirted at the wedding, you saw it.
- Yes.
He asked for my phone number.
Did he?
A few weeks later
we called each other,
went out to dinner
and he told me.
And he tied you to the radiator too?
No, but we slept together
a couple of times.
Oh my!
I don't know what to say,
SO many surprises on the same day.
- I didn't see him again.
- No, why not?
He's married.
Of everything she told us
that's the only thing that's true
that he's married
and they met at party.
And what else did he tell you?
That she was after him all night long,
she tried to kiss him several times...
and he didn't know what to do
because she was very drunk.
You know how she gets when...
You see why I got so uncomfortable
and wanted to change the subject?
I didn't know how to react,
I couldn't believe it.
- Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- Tuesdays and Thursdays.
What?
Nothing.
What were you talking about?
- They haven't called you yet?
- No.
Do you want to get something
to eat later?
We said next week.
I can't today because
I've got my daughter.
- We can go to that nice Japanese place.
- Of course.
How about something cheaper?
Money's a bit tight.
I just don't understand
why you quit that series, Blanca.
Sometimes you do things
that I just don't...
- That you don't what?
- Well, I don't understand.
It's so hard to get steady work
like you had,
a character in a soap opera,
well paid...
I had been with that character
for a long time
and it was time to leave the series.
Plus,
she'll get something else
very soon, you'll see.
I still don't get it, what can I say?
You don't have to get it.
- Blanca Losada?
- Yes.
Good. This way, please.
Good luck!
Good luck!
- What about you?
- What about me?
Do you think it's okay
that she quit that show?
You just can't talk to her
but we're friends.
We should be able to tell
each other things, help each other.
- Right?
- She must have done it for a reason.
She should tell me why
because I don't get it!
She will tell you.
What's wrong?
She was fired...
...she didn't quit the show,
that's what happened.
Why didn't she tell us?
Why did she lie to us?
We all do, don't we?
- And how do you know? Did she tell you?
- No, she doesn't know that I know.
Blanca doesn't want anyone
to know what happened.
Cristina, the makeup girl, told me.
And what happened?
Blanca sent a video to the producer.
- A video?
- Yes, a video.
- Personal.
- Personal...
Erotic?
A video of her that was sort of private.
Why did she send it to him?
They were lovers
and lovers do these things.
And what was she doing?
What was she doing?
Masturbating.
With what? How?
I don't know,
she masturbated and that's it!
His wife had suspected
her husband for a long time
and she checked his smartphone
and saw the texts, the video...
But that wasn't the worst thing.
- No.
- No.
The worst thing was that,
to get revenge, she sent the video
to the cast and crew WhatsApp group
of the show
and everybody saw it.
Did you see it?
No, Angela.
I didn't see it.
I have no interest in seeing
my friends masturbating, do you?
No, but I was just curious.
Hello?
Hey! Are you done?
What's wrong?
I was terrible.
I don't know how to cry.
Maybe they can use you
for another character.
Maybe.
Blanca, I'm sorry
about all that earlier...
and if you need money,
Carol can lend you some,
whatever you need.
Sure!
You can cry! Look!
You cry better than me!
- Carolina Segura?
- That's me.
- Good luck!
- Good luck!
- That way?
- Yes, over here.
Are your auditions in another room?
It's not an audition.
- What do you mean it's not an audition?
- It's for some photos.
- What photos?
- Photos to work as a stand in.
For whom?
The protagonist,
but they didn't tell me who she is.
A stand in for what?
Nude shots.
There are a lot of scenes in bed.
- Nude shots.
- Yeah, a stand in for tits and ass.
- Tits and ass.
- Yes.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Hey! You're here.
- Yes! We were invited to leave.
How did it go?
Fine, fine!
- It did?
- Yes!
Well, you never know...
- You never know...
- Never.
So what? Wednesday?
I have therapy on Wednesday.
- On Tuesday?
- On Tuesday, I think I've got plans.
YOU'VE MADE ME VERY HAPPY
THESE PAST MONTHS
- What?
- Nothing, I was looking at you.
Yes, I noticed.
I really like the way you walk,
Barbara.
- Haven't I ever told you that?
- No, you never told me that.
Well, it's true
you walk like a movie star.
Right.
- How are you?
- Okay, tired.
I went to bed late yesterday
and I don't have much time for lunch.
- What's the rush?
- The desire to see you.
- And because I wanted to talk to you.
- Talk about what?
About things, talk.
Why are you making that face?
- I just don't like surprises.
- Even if they're good?
Us movie stars, we're like that.
Shall we go?
Do you like this table?
Yes. Why?
It seems a little noisy.
- Don't worry, it's fine here.
- Of course I worry.
A quieter table would be better.
What are we doing?
Shall we sit down or not?
Wait, I'll ask her.
Please.
We'd like to sit at a quieter table,
if possible.
- Is it possible?
- Yes.
- Perfect. Look how nice.
- Super.
Where do you want to sit? There?
I don't mind.
I was going to sit here,
but if you prefer...
No, no, I was thinking about you,
in case you prefer to sit on the sofa.
Well, right here.
Sit down, Andres, please.
Have I thanked you
for putting up with me?
Not today, not yet.
Wait, let me say hello to someone.
Just for a minute.
Take a look at menu.
David.
Andres!
I have seen you pass
and I didn't know if it was you.
Yes, I'm still me.
What are you doing here?
We have the studio here and we usually
come here to eat. And you?
I'm meeting a friend for lunch.
She works near here too.
A friend.
- Is she a very good friend?
- We're starting a relationship.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
She's very pretty...
And very young, right?
Yeah. A bit.
She was my student
a couple of years ago.
But nothing happened.
Then she went to the United States
to study and came back a few months ago.
We met by chance one afternoon
in a bookstore
and we started talking and talking.
Very romantic.
Yes... It was like when the sun
comes out after a week of storms.
Andres, someone might hear you.
Let's not lose our dignity
at this age.
I've even started writing again.
After three years.
I see, you're reborn.
Today I invited her to lunch
to propose that she come live with me.
You're not going to get down
on your knees and make a scene.
Because then I'll stay.
No. She's got a lot of trouble
at the apartment where she's living.
She has to leave it now.
And I thought
she could come live at my house.
The point is to make
life complicated, right?
Yes.
I have to go,
I'm glad to see you so happy.
And if there's a wedding, invite me.
Done.
Can I get you something to drink?
Yes. Bring a bottle of wine.
The house wine or would you like
to see the wine list?
No, the house wine's fine.
Thanks.
Yes,
you've met him,
I introduced him to you at the theater.
Andres, his name is Andres.
He looks like my father?
You think so?
I don't know.
What a terrible thought that is.
He's cool, but he's older.
He even wrote me a poem.
I don't know,
I couldn't make heads or tails of it.
At a restaurant now,
he invited me to lunch.
But we'll end up splitting the bill.
He's a bit stingy.
Listen,
the other day I hooked up with Luca,
the Italian musician.
And he keeps texting me.
I'm confused...
Yeah... I've kept it going too long.
Yes, I know... I'll talk to him now.
Where will you be?
As soon as I break it off with Andrs,
I'll join you. Bye.
Ah, there you are.
I'll just go to the bathroom
and then we'll order, okay?
Okay.
That was David, an old friend.
We hardly ever see each other anymore.
- Andrs.
- Have you tried the wine? Is it good?
Yes.
I don't know.
- Do you like it?
- Yes. I don't know.
Please!
Andrs, it's not necessary.
- It's all right. No problem.
- Are you ready to order?
No, not yet.
But we don't like the wine.
If you don't mind,
we'd like a different one.
It's the one you ordered,
the house wine.
- Do you want the wine list?
- If you would be so kind.
Let's see.
- This one?
- Sure.
Bring us this one, please.
Thanks.
- How are things today?
- Today?
- Yes. At work.
- Better, but I don't like it.
I didn't study for seven years
to be making photocopies.
All in good time.
You need to be patient.
Much better. Try it, Barbara.
- It's really not necessary.
- Go ahead.
If you don't like it, we'll get another.
- Do you like it?
- Very much.
Andrs.
Let me think how to tell you this...
- It's because of my poem, isn't it?
- Your poem?
- The poem I wrote you.
- What about it?
You feel bad you said nothing,
that I might think
you didn't like it, right?
I loved your poem. I loved it.
- Barbara.
- What?
It's okay if you didn't like it.
Don't be afraid to tell me.
I'm a writer, I'm used to it.
I just wanted to give it to you
as a little gift.
Whenever I fall in love with a woman,
I need to write,
put my feelings into words.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Me? Why?
Because you've made me
very happy these last few months.
Yeah...
Andrs.
I'd like to tell you something.
Me first.
- That's why I invited you to lunch.
- Okay.
I've been trying to find
the right moment for days now,
that's why I insisted yesterday
that we meet today.
Have you decided yet?
- Yes.
- No. Not yet.
These last few weeks have been
the best autumn of my life
since we met up again that afternoon
in the bookstore and talked and talked.
- Especially me.
- Especially you, yes.
And then you let me be your lover.
Me.
You, yes.
And that's why I don't want
to lie to you. It wouldn't be fair.
I just want the best for you,
and I couldn't forgive myself
for hurting you.
Understand?
Not really, no, Andrs.
A few weeks ago,
I took my children to their house
one afternoon.
I started talking with my wife.
With my ex-wife.
For the first time in two years,
we were able to talk without arguing.
She made me some coffee,
it was nice.
And then, she confessed
that she didn't know why,
but lately she's started
having feelings for me again.
That she missed me.
A few weeks ago?
Or a bit more.
What happened?
What did you say to her?
Nothing.
I said I was with you, very happy,
starting something
and that I was very sorry,
but I didn't share her feelings.
- She was a little embarrassed, of course.
- Of course.
But then she kissed me.
She kissed you?
Yes. She went crazy
and started touching me
and we ended up making love.
- With your ex-wife?
- Yes.
It was like a rush,
we couldn't control it.
- More wine?
- No.
And then?
Have you two been sleeping together?
Not in bed,
but otherwise,
we've had sex everywhere.
Wild times like that
but that's not the main thing.
It isn't?
And what's the main thing?
- Don't be angry, Barbara.
- I don't get angry.
But you call me every day.
You write me poems,
you won't take your eyes off me.
And meanwhile it turns out
you've been cheating on me with your ex.
Who you said you hated.
Why are you telling me all this?
Because we've decided to give it
another chance
and live together again.
I could keep it a secret
and we could go on seeing each other...
...but you don't deserve that.
And even if you're angry with me,
I wanted to tell you the truth.
I hope you can forgive me,
and we can continue to be friends.
Or whatever you want.
Or whatever I want?
Whatever you want.
Andrs.
Earlier. By the restroom...
you overheard my conversation
with my friend, didn't you?
No...
Andrs.
The set menu is fine.
I'll have a flan for dessert.
Thank you.
PARIS
You feel so good after beating a friend.
Did you let me win,
or is something wrong?
What's with the face?
I couldn't see you on the court, Edu!
You weren't here.
What's wrong with you today?
I found a photo.
You found a photo.
A photo of Paris.
- I didn't know you'd been to Paris.
- No, I've never been to Paris.
Sofia's been there.
You found a photo
of your wife in Paris.
Yes.
I found a photo of Sofia in Paris
that I'd never seen before.
I know you're trying to tell me
something but I don't really...
A year ago,
Sofia was in Paris with her sister.
I found the photo in a book
she's reading, you see?
No, what exactly are we talking about?
This photo.
- Did you take a photo of the photo?
- Yes.
- Why?
- I don't know, to try to figure it out.
Figure what out?
They met someone
and she didn't tell me.
See them?
She's talking to Sofia
in the background.
- Very pretty.
- Yes,
she's a French journalist.
- A French journalist.
- Yes, her name is Nicole.
She worked here a few months,
a few years ago.
We met at the newspaper
and we became friends
and Sofia met her too.
You see?
No, what exactly is the problem?
Sofia never told me that
she saw Nicole in Paris.
They had been talking.
- And that's a problem?
- It's strange... Why didn't she tell me?
I don't know, it's a real mystery.
I'm getting cold, let's go shower now.
I can think of only one reason...
because Sofia didn't want
to talk about Nicole.
- You know why?
- No, but you're about to tell me.
Because she knows.
What does she know?
That we had an affair.
Edu, you don't have affairs.
You'd like to, but you don't.
You're repressed
and a good person, not like me.
Edu, did you?
But with fucking?
Pretty much, pretty much.
Why are you making that face?
It's my disappointed face.
I'm disappointed.
It's the only time
I've ever cheated on Sofia.
It can happen to anyone.
It's not that.
We can share these things,
we've been friends for 20 years.
I didn't tell you because of Sofia.
Out of respect for her.
Would you tell me
if you cheated on someone I know?
I'd love it but I can't have a partner
because I'm hyperactive.
I haven't slept for days,
I'm so anxious...
Just to think that she's always known,
that she never told me.
- We're going to have another baby soon.
- What's that got to do with it?
Everything is connected now.
The day after I found the photo
her sister came over.
- And you know what she said?
- No, I don't.
- That Sofia fainted.
- Sofia?
She fainted.
Her sister remembered
everything perfectly...
About Nicole,
she said hello to Sofia.
She told me that while they were talking,
Sofia suddenly got dizzy
and had to lie down on the floor...
Why didn't she tell me?
How could you forget
to say something like that?
Her sister was surprised
that she hadn't told me.
She knows.
She knows
and I can't look her in the eyes.
Listen...
I'll give you some magic pills now that
I take to relax after parties.
After parties?
You'll feel better
and see everything differently.
- You'll see.
- Okay.
You feel better now, don't you?
This morning I was going
through the closet looking for something
and guess what I found?
- Nicole's corpse?
- Her box.
- What box?
- Sofia's box.
And what would you find there?
Photos of her old lovers...
Her diary.
Good idea!
That's the first thing you've said
that makes any sense.
- Read the diary and forget all this.
- I can't, we made a pact.
You're so dramatic today, really.
She'd be more upset
if she discovers I opened her box
than about the affair with Nicole.
If I hadn't found that photo...
Exactly, that's the idea, you said it.
- What idea?
- You didn't open that book, Edu.
I didn't?
You didn't see the photo,
you don't even remember
she went to Paris
and you never thought
Sofia might suspect your affair.
Why would you think that?
You didn't open the book, say it.
I didn't open the book.
See? Get out of the car,
it's getting late.
Hey.
Thanks for listening to me.
That's what friends are for, right?
To share things.
Bye.
Have you ordered another round?
You don't answer my messages anymore?
I sent you a few recently.
I wanted to know
how your soap opera was going.
You don't want to tell me?
Why? What have you done?
Did you find the diary?
Did you read it?
Does she know?
Are you sure?
Edu, you're very prone to...
- You took a photo of the diary, too?
- Of course.
I don't have my glasses,
I can't read this.
- Want a summary?
- Please.
One day Sofia came to meet me
at the newspaper
and from the sidewalk,
she saw me eating with Nicole
at the restaurant next door.
When she was about to enter,
she saw something.
What did she see?
A gesture.
She saw a gesture, what gesture?
I stroked her cheek, like this.
The next few days
she was spying on me,
and she even saw me go into her house.
- Why didn't she tell you?
- She was going to.
She was?
I'll read it.
"Edu returns from Madrid on Sunday.
I'll tell him to leave that very night.
I'll put some of his things
in a suitcase.
I'm very sad.
I'll never trust anyone again.
- And what happened?
- Nothing happened.
Thanks.
- And when you came back that Sunday?
- Sofia was at home with Martin,
I arrived and nothing.
- I was about to talk to her today.
- No, I told you that's forbidden.
I need to apologize.
The hell you do. That's a lie.
You want to talk about it,
because you wonder
why she never told you she knew.
I don't know what to do.
Forget that,
you are going to mess it up.
What should I do?
What were you talking about?
Edu, do what I told you,
and I mean, do nothing.
No improvising! Got that?
Repeat it.
No improvising.
If you panic,
take a pill and shot of whiskey.
Whiskey?
- Hello.
- Hello.
But weren't you meeting to play tennis?
- I hope you're not deceiving me.
- Not at all.
What's up? How are you doing?
Well, you can see.
I'm going to the supermarket,
want to come?
Of course.
- Goodbye, Jota.
- Bye.
Don't bring me flowers in the hospital.
- No flowers.
- No.
Listen, Edu,
I've been wanting to talk to you
about something for days.
Have you?
It's about us.
I saw it coming.
What?
I'm the one who owes you
an explanation.
What is it, honey?
We can't go on like this,
we're going to have another baby soon.
We need to be honest with each other.
I'm not sure.
I cheated on you with another woman
a couple of years ago
and I'm really sorry.
I had a relationship
with my journalist friend,
the French woman you met.
It was only for a few weeks,
I fell in love a little bit
and I didn't know how to stop it,
but I swear I haven't heard
from her since.
I just hope you can forgive me...
you and Martin and Claudia.
We're not calling her Claudia.
We'll name her whatever you want
because you're
the most important thing in my life
and I don't want to lose you.
I had to tell you, understand?
Not, not really. I think these things
are better left unsaid.
What's the use?
I could throw this shelf full of chickpeas
at your head right now.
I'm very angry.
- I can imagine.
- Really!
But I'm not gonna do it,
we'll pretend nothing happened,
and that's it.
Especially if it happened
two years ago.
Of course.
Here. Get some apple juice.
Are you sure you don't want
to talk about it?
You caught me at a bad time,
do you see me?
I'm just surprised
you're not more upset.
I'm upset but I'm also very forgiving
and focus on the future.
It's just that I know.
What do you know?
That you discovered us two years ago...
You saw us at that restaurant,
you've known all along.
And how long have you known?
- Since the other day.
- Since the other day?
But how do you know?
You're going to get angry.
What have you done?
I read your diary.
You're right, I'm going to get angry
because we had a pact.
I'm so sorry,
but I needed to know if you knew,
see?
To be sure before I told you all this,
and to understand
why you didn't get angry with me.
Of course I was angry, very angry.
But why didn't you say anything?
I was going to... and kick you
out of the house
and tell you I'd found out
and I even packed your suitcase.
- I know.
- But there was a party at the hospital.
What party?
The nurses' party.
- The nurses' party?
- Yes.
And I was so upset, so beside myself...
I must have had about 200 margaritas.
Margaritas.
And later I couldn't drive, so Ciro...
...an Argentine doctor,
drove me home.
And somehow we started making out.
Rage made me do it.
Of course.
And then, with a hangover,
I thought, what should I do?
Why tell you?
We were even, like a tie, right?
We were tied, yes.
Goon,
get the detergent,
the big one, it's too heavy for me.
- Did you see each other again?
- That's enough, don't get obsessive now.
It's just to know.
Yes, a few more times...
You know, you start,
you get a taste for it
and then it's hard to stop.
Like you with the French woman, right?
Of course.
But I never went back to his house.
- Okay?
- Okay.
We used to make out at the hospital,
when we were on call.
At the hospital?
Yes, until we got caught.
You got caught?
By whom?
- An anesthesiologist.
- Who?
You don't know him.
I'm embarrassed to talk about it.
- Why?
- Because I'm not like that,
it was your fault it happened to me.
That was risky, at the hospital.
Good thing he didn't tell anyone,
you could have been fired.
He didn't because I hooked up
with him, too.
With him too?
I was so angry
that I wasn't acting like myself.
What do you expect?
Nothing, maybe that's enough.
You see?
These things are better left unsaid.
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm not sure.
I have to pee.
I'll go home. Will you stay and pay?
Sofia.
What?
What did you want to tell me?
It doesn't matter.
- We'll talk tomorrow.
- What was it?
If you like, we can get married.
- Us?
- Yes, us, who else?
I know you might not feel the need,
but I'd like to,
- before she's born.
- Yes, I'd like that.
I don't want to force you.
Are you sure?
You're not going to cry now.
It's because of everything...
so much emotion.
- Okay, we'll talk about it.
- Okay.
It would be good
before summer, all right?
Yes.
Jota.
I'm still at the supermarket.
I didn't say anything,
I listened to you.
You were right.
It's better to leave things as they are.
Listen to me,
here's a surprise.
I know you told me
not to improvise, but...
I asked her to marry me.
I asked her to marry me.
Laura!
Hi, I didn't see you. How are you?
- Fine! Great! And you?
- Fine!
You never come anymore.
Fiona keeps asking about Bobo.
I see. I've been out of town.
You been busy?
Very, very busy.
- May I?
- Sure.
- You're off work today?
- Yes, I went for a run with her.
I can see that.
Can I have one?
Sure. I didn't know you smoked.
Here.
What?
I'm getting dizzy.
- Are you alright?
- Yes.
Good!
- Leaving so soon?
- I wanted to see an exhibit.
Since I ever hardly have time,
now's my chance.
- What kind of exhibit?
- About David Bowie.
- See, you really are cool.
- You think so?
Going to a David Bowie exhibit?
Super cool.
I was going to make some food
in Tupperware for next week.
I'm pretty cool, too, aren't I?
Sure.
Don't knock Tupperware!
Well, let's go. I have to go too.
Bobo! Let's go.
See how Fiona's limping?
She's been doing that for a few days.
- A few days? How many?
- I don't know. What could be wrong?
She may need to get her paw cut off.
Check to see if she's got a thorn
between her toes.
Yeah but...
I'm a bit squeamish about this.
- And your...?
- Raul?
He's not here.
He's away on a business trip,
but Raul and Fiona don't really...
I'll take Bobo upstairs
and come take a look, if you want.
Really? You're very kind.
Yes, I know.
Go on, Fiona.
Just a sec...
Come in.
Wow, I didn't remember
how big this apartment is.
- It's like three times mine.
- We're lucky. It belongs to Raul's parents.
- Where should we...?
- What about a table?
Come on.
Here we go.
Here?
- Lay her down and hold her legs.
- Ok.
They go into the bushes
and they step on something.
Bobo does it all the time.
Next month I'm leaving.
Where to?
- Leaving the building.
- Why?
The owners are selling my apartment.
That's terrible.
Will you both still come to the park?
I doubt it, it's going to be a bit far.
I'm moving downtown.
I found an apartment with
a small terrace. It's perfect for Bobo.
We'll miss you.
Fiona can't live
without your dog's drool.
I can imagine.
Look! Right here!
There! Got it!
Do you want a brownie?
I made some.
- You'll seem rude if you say no.
- Okay.
There's hot coffee, if you want.
Excuse me.
I'll wash my hands here, okay?
I always forget. Your book.
What book?
The one you lent me.
You don't remember?
No.
We met, you just had finished
reading it and you lent it to me.
Did you read it?
Twice.
Twice?
Have a seat.
- Delicious, I know.
- Very.
I'll give you some
to take home.
You don't have to.
I do, Raul doesn't like them.
What?
I've cut myself.
It's okay,
I cut myself all the time too.
There's blood pouring out!
Laura?
Come with me.
- It's not that bad.
- I know, I'm very squeamish.
- Does it hurt you there?
- No.
What would you have done today
without me?
You're right!
I should go. Let's see
if I get to the exhibit in time.
Can I leave you here alone
or should I take you to the hospital?
- I'm fine.
- Or you can come with me and...
then we can go to eat a pizza or...
Sorry, I didn't mean...
Okay, yeah!
Okay.
Hello.
- Hello.
- What a surprise!
- What?
- Weren't you coming back tonight?
Yes, but we ended our meetings
and changed our flights.
- What were you doing?
- Nothing, I wasn't doing anything.
Who came over?
Delia.
She came and we had coffee.
- Want a brownie?
- No, you know I don't like them.
She left her keys.
Who?
Delia.
Yes.
Didn't she have two cats?
Why?
She has a bone on her key chain.
She got the wrong one
when she bought it.
Sometimes we all make mistakes,
we do things without knowing why,
but we do them.
Nobody's perfect.
Not you, not me, not Delia, nobody.
Fiona!
Enough!
What's wrong with her?
Why is she barking so much?
She's nervous!
We have mice again!
- Again?
- Again.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
We should go buy traps or poison
before they close.
Stay.
Why don't we go shopping?
- Don't you want to?
- Your breath smells weird.
Smoking again?
No.
Don't you want a pizza?
We could go to a pizzeria, couldn't we?
My stomach is killing me.
Something I ate made me sick.
Let's go shopping
and I'll cook something that sits well.
- What do you feel like?
- A shower.
- Let's take a shower.
- Now?
I feel like fucking.
I know but a shower... not a shower.
- Do you want to fuck?
- really do, I can't wait!
But first, let's go shopping.
I like to fuck better in the afternoon.
I'm going to pee. Put your shoes on.
And we'll go.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
It's all right.
- It's not. I'm so nervous!
- Calm down.
- What happened earlier? You pushed me.
- I know, I pushed you.
- Why? We weren't doing anything.
- It was an impulse, I'm sorry.
Sorry.
This is a scene from some other movie.
Nothing happened between us.
I know, I'm very ashamed.
Sorry!
Why don't we just act
like nothing's wrong?
Okay.
I'll be right out. We'll act normal.
I came over to help with Fiona,
you forgot to say
I was in the bathroom...
I'll come out and that's that.
So what am I doing peeing
in here with you?
- Right.
- No. Listen.
We're going shopping now.
You wait a couple of minutes and go.
Don't let anyone see you leave
and that's it.
You forgive me
and forget all about this.
- We'll laugh about this in the park.
- Yes.
Will you come and say goodbye
before you move?
Of course.
- Okay. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Laura.
What?
- Who are you talking to?
- I'll be right out!
- Why did you lock yourself in?
- I'm ready.
That was Delia.
I told her about the keys.
Let's go.
- I need to go to the bathroom.
- You can go later!
Let's go.
My stomach's upset.
No, let's fuck.
Come on!
- Now?
- Didn't you want to fuck? Let's fuck.
- But you just told me you'd rather...
- I saw the shower and I'm hot now.
Raul, let's go to bed.
No, you go ahead.
I just need... See if we have
any condoms left, I'll be right out.
Raul, it's your sister!
Raul!
Raul!
- It's your sister.
- What's going on? Why are you shouting?
It's your sister, maybe it's important.
Aren't you going to answer?
I'll call her later.
Aren't we going to bed?
Later.
Later. I don't feel like it now.
Let's go before they close.
Laura.
What's going on?
Nothing, why?
I don't know,
you're acting strange.
I'll be fine. Let's go.
A little fresh air is what I need.
Don't try to understand me.
Fiona, what have you done?
Wait, I'll help you.
Don't worry, I'll do it.
Get her out of here before I kick her.
That would be almost as if you hit me.
- It's just a dog, Laura.
- It's just some cactus, Raul.
LAURA!
YOU FORGOT YOUR PHONE!
I CALLED YOU
I COULDN'T GET OUWHERE ARE YOU?
What are you looking for?
- What?
- What are you looking for?
My boots.
- Why? Are you leaving?
- I don't know.
Because of what happened earlier?
It's over!
Let's make up!
Don't you realize what happened to us?
Not really.
It's like I don't even know you.
Yeah...
Move!
IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM
Stop!
- What are you doing?
- Trying to open the door.
You'll break it. What do you want?
The broom...
to clean up what your dog broke.
That broom's really old.
Let's get another one.
I think I threw it away.
How did you open the door the other day?
I don't remember.
But we need a new broom!
It's just a broom.
- Do you have to cry over this?
- That's not why...
I think you opened it
with a screwdriver.
It's not fair.
It's not fair, Raul,
because it's not what it looks like.
It's going to look like
I'm to blame and I'm not.
I've always tried to do the right thing
and although I'm sure
I've made mistakes,
you've also been distant
and in a bad mood so often.
What is it doing here?
We've forgotten
to love each other, Raul.
We've forgotten that.
Do you understand?
- Yes, we forgot to love each other.
- That's why this has happened.
What has happened?
I'm not in love
with you anymore.
I just realized it a while ago.
We're going to have to split up,
you see?
- Do you really mean that?
- I think so.
We never do anything together anymore,
we're always with other people
so we won't fight,
you don't come to meet me at work
to go out for lunch like you used to.
How did this happen to us?
I don't know.
Let me get the broom, I'll clean up,
we'll cook something delicious
and keep talking.
We're not in love anymore,
and it makes me very sad.
And when did you realize it?
Last summer.
Last summer.
What happened last summer?
I read a book.
You read a book and you realized
you didn't love me anymore?
Yes.
Are you in love with someone else?
What does that matter?
It matters.
I think so.
Shit.
Okay, okay.
- Who is he?
- Our neighbor, Alex.
We haven't done anything.
I'd never cheat on you.
It's Fiona's fault.
We met in the park walking the dogs
and we got to know each other.
You understand, don't you?
Does he feel the same way?
I don't know.
Laura.
- You can tell about these things.
- I don't know.
I guess so.
Ask him.
You want me to ask him?
It's just that he's here
but it's not what it looks like.
- Here? Where?
- In there.
Laura!
Do you want me to take you
to the hospital?
- No.
- You're having a breakdown.
- Let's sit down.
- No.
Raul, please! Ask him!
Alex!
Are you in love with my wife?
- I think so.
- See?
What are you doing there?
It really isn't what it looks like.
If you don't mind,
I'll be the judge of that.
Raul.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Were you here when I came home earlier?
Yes.
What were you doing in my house?
- Nothing, really!
- Nothing.
We met in the park, Fiona was limping
and I came to see to her paw.
So, if you weren't up to anything,
why were you in there?
Because she pushed me.
Yes, I pushed him.
You pushed him.
We were in the bathroom
and she pushed me.
Why did you push him?
Because I'm in love with him.
I didn't know until I pushed him.
It's not easy to understand.
No, it isn't.
- Laura...
- I know.
Were you in the bathroom when I...?
- I don't know what to say.
- Don't say anything.
I'm so sorry. I mean it.
So am I.
It's nobody's fault.
I guess.
Excuse me.
WHERE ARE YOU?
IN A BAR. AND YOU?
I'M AT MY SISTER'S PLACE
I'll MOVE IN.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU
FIRST, WE'LL HAVE LUNCH...
AND THEN WE'LL KISS
SANDRA
- Hello, Luis.
- Hello.
Was it today you were coming?
Yes, Friday. You didn't remember?
Yes, when did you get here?
This morning on the fast train.
- Were you sleeping?
- No, fucking.
Come on in.
I suppose you brought sheets.
Of course.
- Who is it, Carlos?
- I'm Luis. Hi, Ana.
He's brought his sheets again!
So,
you're staying all weekend?
No, I'm leaving first thing
in the morning.
Stay. We can go out.
Where do you have to go?
Tarragona. To my nephew's christening.
- Can I make one of my ironic comments?
- No.
You two carry on.
I'll go by the pharmacy
and then we can have a drink.
Okay. Wait for us at the bar,
the usual place.
It won't be long.
We were already in overtime.
Hello...
a sparkling water, please.
You wouldn't have a Kleenex, by any...?
Yes, I think so.
- Here.
- Thank you.
It's a bit of a sad novel
and I was moved by it.
Were you?
Sometimes things touch us and...
Yes.
I think they made a movie of it,
with that famous English actress.
- I'm an actress too.
- Really?
Well, aspiring.
Meanwhile, I'm working as a waitress.
- It's a tough profession, isn't it?
- What?
You have to keep at it. Never give up.
Yes.
Hello... I can't hear you. Hold on.
The next time you bring your own sheets,
I'll get angry and make you sleep
in the parking lot.
Two beers, please.
Carlos told me you can't stay
the whole weekend
because you have a christening.
Because he's got a proper family,
not like mine.
How are you two doing?
Carlos is still very much
in love with me.
- You are?
- Yes, I don't know what's wrong with me.
And how are you?
Fine, same as usual.
She wants to know if you have any news,
other than work and sleep.
- Your Kleenex.
- No need, keep them.
I don't think I'll cry anymore.
I'll give you a brochure.
It's micro theater.
We're doing a show in the center.
I don't know
if you are familiar with it.
Yes, a little, but I've never been...
I'll be there.
Nice to meet you and thank you.
You're welcome.
What an interesting girl!
Luis?
What happened here?
- Nothing.
- Not nothing.
- Did you know her?
- No, we were talking for a moment.
Signs. Haven't you seen the flag?
What signs? What flags?
The flag that says I'm here alone,
I like you,
I'm inviting you to the theater...
What was that about crying?
She was crying
and I gave her some Kleenex.
- Do you realize how romantic that is?
- Is it?
Yes, really!
Come on, we'll finish our beer
and go to the theater.
- You guys go. I...
- Luis. It's over.
- It's over?
- Forget about Marisa.
It's been a year since you separated.
Forget about her.
She left you for someone else.
- You need to get laid.
- You need to get laid.
Until you sleep with another woman,
you'll never get Marisa out of your system.
That's true.
We'll go to the theater now,
no expectations.
Nothing's going to happen...
- because no one is flirting.
- Thanks to both of you but...
No. Come on.
Finish your soda.
- So?
- So?
Did you like it?
Yes.
- The idea was quite original.
- And she was very funny. And pretty.
She's a good actress.
- So go tell her.
- Right. Go ahead.
She's with people now. Let's wait.
She'll think you didn't like it.
- Why?
- Because we girls are like that.
Go say hello,
congratulate her on the show.
And it's fine.
We came because we like the theater,
not because you want
anything from her.
Here we go.
- Introduce us.
- But I don't know her name!
- See you later at the bar.
- See you!
Hello.
- Hi, thanks for coming.
- We loved it, congratulations.
Thank you.
- It was Luis who forced us to come.
- Well, I'm glad.
When I saw you there,
I got a little nervous.
Did you notice?
No, not at all.
- I'm Sandra.
- I'm Ana.
- I'm Carlos, he's Luis.
- I'm Luis.
- Hello, Luis.
- Hello.
Did you really like it?
Luis, you said
it was a very original idea.
- Yes, very original.
- Thank you very much.
Anywhere round here to go for a drink?
Right nearby, if you want to come
with the others from the show.
Sure!
I loved your shirt in the show.
I've been telling him to move back here,
but there's no way.
Maybe if you tell him...
And why did you go to live in Madrid?
For work and then I married
a woman from Madrid.
But you split up.
You've run out of excuses.
Do you have children?
No, she got pregnant...
but it wasn't mine.
Dammit, Luis! Don't start
telling her all your troubles.
You've just met.
He has none but he'd like to.
Me too.
But he's already got one.
Don't do what I did!
Look for someone who has none.
- We've gotta get going.
- Coming.
So soon?
We've got more shows
at a different venue.
What a shame!
- You have to ask her for her phone number.
- Now?
- Yes, now.
- But she's with her friends.
You're gonna be out of the game.
Let's not start
with the sports metaphors.
Thanks for coming.
On the contrary!
Well...
- Goodbye, Luis.
- Goodbye.
I was about to
but you were looking at me.
She asked me
to give you her phone number.
She was too embarrassed
to do it herself.
You're in the game!
- From Sandra? What does it say?
- Stuff.
- What stuff? She's all of ours.
- All of ours?
I mean, we're sharing this...
- What did she write you?
- She feels like dancing.
And what else does it say?
They're going to a club later on.
- What club?
- I don't know but I'm not going.
- Not today, not yet.
- But Sandra wants to dance.
- I need more time.
- Time for what?
To prepare myself psychologically.
It's been over ten years since I've been
with a woman who wasn't Marisa.
- That's what I'm like. I need...
- Cocaine. A line will do you good.
I think we have some left over
from last week.
And get a couple of condoms!
Don't look at me like that.
Nothing will happen but just in case.
- You have to eat something.
- I'm not hungry.
You have to eat.
I'll make you some scrambled eggs.
Stick to the same mental strategy.
Luis...
- When was the last time you jerked off?
- What?
- When was the last time you jerked off?
- Go on.
- Come on.
- Cocaine makes me nervous.
- It's very mild. Go on!
Do it!
Otherwise you come too fast
and the woman is left unsatisfied.
I know it's not going to happen but...
You look like a priest, Luis.
I'll get you one of Carlos' shirts.
I haven't seen him like this in years.
Let's go, so they'll be on their own.
Without telling them?
We'll ruin their fun if we do.
He's an idiot.
He is.
You're leaving?
Don't you like the music?
You've had better days.
We leave my friend. He's with a girl.
Yes, with Sandra. I've seen them.
- Do you know her?
- Yes, she worked here as a bartender.
Does she have a boyfriend?
No, she used to but not now.
Since the transition and the whole
process I think she's been single.
I'm glad she's with your friend.
Which process?
I thought you already knew Sandra.
We met tonight and went to see her play.
- She's actually totally amazing.
- That's how she seems.
What transition?
Well, nice to see you.
- Nice to see you too.
- Come back soon.
Sandra was a boy?
Why are you making that face?
- What face?
- That frightened face.
It's a thinking face. It's fine.
Of course, it's fine,
why wouldn't it be?
No reason.
Let's go before they see us.
Should we get a cab?
I'm a little tired.
Luis is going to be angry.
He's going to be angry?
What does that mean?
He's going to be angry
if we don't tell him.
I don't know why.
Look...
he wanted to stay home, depressed,
thinking about Marisa
we forced him to go out,
do cocaine
and eat scrambled eggs
and now he's here giving it his all,
and getting his hopes up.
What are you implying?
Nothing.
She's amazing, I like her very much,
and I think it's great
she's been through the process.
That's not how it looks.
- What's not how it looks?
- Your prejudices.
I'm just saying that
if they end up in bed
it might not be what he's expecting.
It's none of your business!
Don't tell me you've got outdated views.
I think we should tell him.
I don't see why.
They are having fun
and telling him or not is up to her.
- Where are you going?
- To take a look.
To take a look at what?
- The atmosphere!
- The atmosphere? Carlos!
Carlos!
Hi!
We thought you had left.
Where were you?
Getting some air, Ana felt dizzy.
- She's better now, right honey?
- You're not feeling well?
Yeah, from putting up
with this pain in the neck.
- Shall we go for a smoke, Luis?
- No, thanks.
- I have some grass.
- I quit.
Just for a moment.
He said he doesn't smoke.
Sit down.
So Sandra,
apart from theater,
have you worked on series or films?
You're a good actress.
I already told her.
I played a small character in a series.
A friend of mine does casting.
I can tell her about you.
Thanks. I've also been an extra in movies.
Whatever comes up.
You'll get lucky in the end, I'm sure.
I knew it wasn't going to be easy.
Have you got any more...
cocaine?
- What? You said you didn't like it.
- I feel like some now.
Do you want some?
I hardly ever do, but...
Luis, I don't think we brought it.
You have it there.
Look!
Ah, yes.
Well...
We'll be right back.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Luis!
Luis?
Carlos! What on earth are you doing?
It's been more than 20 minutes.
So what?
You're acting like a member of Opus Dei.
They've left without saying goodbye.
- Maybe they went out for a smoke.
- Luis doesn't smoke.
Maybe Sandra does.
They're over there.
Don't make that face.
Plus, nobody was on the prowl,
were they?
Let's walk home, come on.
- Where were you?
- Shopping.
I didn't want to wake you up.
- What time is it?
-9:30.
Luis had an early train. That's odd.
What is?
- Maybe something happened to him.
- I don't like what you're implying.
I'm not implying anything.
I just say that his family
is very traditional
and it's strange he missed
his train and the christening.
I can fall out of love in a flash,
and before you know it,
I'll pack all my bags.
It's Luis' phone.
It's your fault he left it here.
How is it my fault?
You made him change his shirt and jacket
to look more attractive. And now look.
- Hello?
- Luis?
No, it's Carlos.
- Hello, I'm his sister.
- Hello, how are you?
It's his sister.
Luis?
He's in the shower.
We were out late last night,
we came back late,
- and he missed the train.
- He'll be late.
Yes, he'll be late.
I'll tell him to call you, bye.
She's angry,
he's gonna miss the ceremony.
I'm leaving.
- Where to?
- I don't know, to find him.
- Why?
- Maybe he got dizzy at some point
in his adventure, and he fainted
and he has hit his head on the floor
and he's disoriented.
Or at some hospital,
or lying on the street somewhere...
Or he's sick from the cocaine
you gave him.
So now it's all because of the cocaine.
You caused all this mess
from the moment Sandra appeared.
Act normal, like nothing is wrong.
Have you looked at yourself?
Hello.
Hello.
How are you?
Fine. Were you about to leave?
No, we were here, talking...
Yes, we were talking.
- What about you?
- Tired. I haven't slept much.
May I come in?
- Sure.
- Yes, come on in.
- Do you want some coffee?
- No, thanks. I had breakfast with Sandra.
Where? In a bar?
No, at her house.
Sandra's?
Yes, we were starving
when we woke up...
Normal.
I wanted to call you,
but I left my phone here.
We noticed.
We were a little worried.
Why?
Since you had the christening
and the early train...
And we weren't sure
how the whole thing would turn out...
Very well.
- Good.
- How nice.
I walked her to the subway,
because she had to work
at the restaurant.
I'm so happy for you.
Really. For both of you.
- And you didn't want to go out...
- Yes, that's true.
Here's your shirt.
- You were right, it's been a success.
- I'm happy for you.
I'll hurry over to catch a fast train.
My sister will kill me.
Go with him so you can maybe talk.
About what?
We don't talk.
- Don't you want him to drive you?
- No, thanks.
- You must be tired.
- Not really.
I'll get there faster by subway
and I feel like being alone.
- Sure.
- Sure.
Goodbye, Ana, thanks.
Good to see you
and I'm glad about everything!
- Everything!
- Thank you.
You've got your sheets, I suppose.
Of course. And thank you.
Why?
Because you were right,
Marisa's gone...
I've got her out of my mind.
She's gone.
You see? Just like I said.
I'll call you.
- Ciao.
- Ciao.
ON TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS
Carol?
Blanca.
Hi!
- What a coincidence!
- Yes, it is.
- Are you here for the audition?
- Yes, you too?
- Yes, here we are again.
- You look very pretty.
- You look better.
- No, you look very pretty.
We're terrible, we never get together.
- Let's do lunch sometime, okay?
- Whenever you want.
- Next week's better.
- Okay.
I've got my daughter this week.
Hello, we're here for the audition.
One moment please.
We're running late but in 15 minutes
we will notify you.
You can wait over there.
Thanks.
- Angela!
- Hi!
- Hi!
- How are you?
How are you?
- You're here too.
- Yes.
You've already had your audition?
I just finished.
It went very well but you never know.
You never know.
Have you both learned all the lines?
Do you know to cry?
- What?
- They just want to see if you can cry.
I don't know how to cry, I never cry.
I'm so-so...
- Didn't you get a script?
- What?
I'm auditioning
for a different character.
Which one?
I don't know, a different one.
Were you leaving?
Yes, but I'm in no rush, shall we go
for a smoke while you're waiting?
- I thought you quit.
- Yes, but I forget.
I know him, but I don't know how.
I saw him pull up
on a motorcycle earlier.
From Claudia's wedding.
It's true, he was at Claudia's wedding.
What was his name?
I don't remember.
You should remember.
- You danced with him for a long time.
- Me?
- Victor.
- That's it, Victor, yes.
He's Basque, a photographer,
he's a friend of Claudia's boyfriend,
they were at school together.
How do you know all that?
- Did you dance with him too?
- Yes, but not at the wedding.
When?
At a party, I met him by chance
and we danced.
- Don't play Ms. Mysterious.
- I'm not playing Ms. Mysterious.
Hadn't we better go in?
- I can't tell you about it.
- Why can't you tell us?
Because he's married, that's why.
Is he married?
- Did you sleep with him?
- Yes, I slept with him.
How many times?
I don't want to talk about
this anymore.
You're the one who started!
If she doesn't want to tell us,
that's fine.
We both drank a lot.
His wife was out of town
and he came to the party,
we started touching each other and...
making out in the kitchen
when no one was looking...
...and we ended up at a hotel.
- A hotel?
- Yes.
We spent the whole weekend
without leaving the room.
- I'm happy for you.
- Well, it wasn't really...
- Later on...
- Later on, what?
He became obsessed with me
and he forced me to do stuff that...
- What stuff?
- Stuff.
- What stuff?
- Stuff like fucking in his car.
We went to the movies
and he wanted me to suck him off,
which I didn't mind, I did, but...
But what?
It was all a bit too much.
Early in the morning,
he would tell his wife
that he was going out for a jog,
but he would run over to my place.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 7:30,
I had him on top of me.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Once he even tied me up.
He tied you up? Where did he tie you?
To the heating radiator.
- To the radiator?
- I had a hard time getting untied.
You see? We need to meet more often.
Well...
- And you don't see each other anymore?
- No.
No, I don't want to do that
to another woman.
I've been cheated on too and it's awful.
You did the right thing, Angela,
because in the end
he would have left you
with no warning,
from one day to the next
and you would've been devastated,
so that was best.
He was in love with me.
Men don't only fall
in love with you, Blanca.
No, of course not, she didn't mean that.
- She got angry.
- Yes.
- I don't know why she got angry.
- You know what she's like...
and you interrupted her a couple times.
- When did I cut her off?
- While she was telling us about it,
it seemed like you wanted
to change the subject,
maybe you did it by accident.
Shall we go in? They might call us.
- Monica Ruiz?
- That's me.
Come with me please.
This way.
Shall we sit down?
What about you?
Will you do that play you told me about?
You weren't listening to me.
I did it on purpose.
- What?
- Change the subject.
Change the subject... why?
Because she made me very uncomfortable.
Why did she make you so uncomfortable?
Because it's a lie!
- What's a lie?
- Everything.
Everything she said.
- Her affair with Victor.
- What do you mean it's a lie?
- She made it up.
- She made it up?
Why?
You know her,
she likes making up stories
and if it makes her feel good
then let her lie, right?
And how do you know?
How do you know?
Because he told me.
- We flirted at the wedding, you saw it.
- Yes.
He asked for my phone number.
Did he?
A few weeks later
we called each other,
went out to dinner
and he told me.
And he tied you to the radiator too?
No, but we slept together
a couple of times.
Oh my!
I don't know what to say,
SO many surprises on the same day.
- I didn't see him again.
- No, why not?
He's married.
Of everything she told us
that's the only thing that's true
that he's married
and they met at party.
And what else did he tell you?
That she was after him all night long,
she tried to kiss him several times...
and he didn't know what to do
because she was very drunk.
You know how she gets when...
You see why I got so uncomfortable
and wanted to change the subject?
I didn't know how to react,
I couldn't believe it.
- Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- Tuesdays and Thursdays.
What?
Nothing.
What were you talking about?
- They haven't called you yet?
- No.
Do you want to get something
to eat later?
We said next week.
I can't today because
I've got my daughter.
- We can go to that nice Japanese place.
- Of course.
How about something cheaper?
Money's a bit tight.
I just don't understand
why you quit that series, Blanca.
Sometimes you do things
that I just don't...
- That you don't what?
- Well, I don't understand.
It's so hard to get steady work
like you had,
a character in a soap opera,
well paid...
I had been with that character
for a long time
and it was time to leave the series.
Plus,
she'll get something else
very soon, you'll see.
I still don't get it, what can I say?
You don't have to get it.
- Blanca Losada?
- Yes.
Good. This way, please.
Good luck!
Good luck!
- What about you?
- What about me?
Do you think it's okay
that she quit that show?
You just can't talk to her
but we're friends.
We should be able to tell
each other things, help each other.
- Right?
- She must have done it for a reason.
She should tell me why
because I don't get it!
She will tell you.
What's wrong?
She was fired...
...she didn't quit the show,
that's what happened.
Why didn't she tell us?
Why did she lie to us?
We all do, don't we?
- And how do you know? Did she tell you?
- No, she doesn't know that I know.
Blanca doesn't want anyone
to know what happened.
Cristina, the makeup girl, told me.
And what happened?
Blanca sent a video to the producer.
- A video?
- Yes, a video.
- Personal.
- Personal...
Erotic?
A video of her that was sort of private.
Why did she send it to him?
They were lovers
and lovers do these things.
And what was she doing?
What was she doing?
Masturbating.
With what? How?
I don't know,
she masturbated and that's it!
His wife had suspected
her husband for a long time
and she checked his smartphone
and saw the texts, the video...
But that wasn't the worst thing.
- No.
- No.
The worst thing was that,
to get revenge, she sent the video
to the cast and crew WhatsApp group
of the show
and everybody saw it.
Did you see it?
No, Angela.
I didn't see it.
I have no interest in seeing
my friends masturbating, do you?
No, but I was just curious.
Hello?
Hey! Are you done?
What's wrong?
I was terrible.
I don't know how to cry.
Maybe they can use you
for another character.
Maybe.
Blanca, I'm sorry
about all that earlier...
and if you need money,
Carol can lend you some,
whatever you need.
Sure!
You can cry! Look!
You cry better than me!
- Carolina Segura?
- That's me.
- Good luck!
- Good luck!
- That way?
- Yes, over here.
Are your auditions in another room?
It's not an audition.
- What do you mean it's not an audition?
- It's for some photos.
- What photos?
- Photos to work as a stand in.
For whom?
The protagonist,
but they didn't tell me who she is.
A stand in for what?
Nude shots.
There are a lot of scenes in bed.
- Nude shots.
- Yeah, a stand in for tits and ass.
- Tits and ass.
- Yes.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Hey! You're here.
- Yes! We were invited to leave.
How did it go?
Fine, fine!
- It did?
- Yes!
Well, you never know...
- You never know...
- Never.
So what? Wednesday?
I have therapy on Wednesday.
- On Tuesday?
- On Tuesday, I think I've got plans.
YOU'VE MADE ME VERY HAPPY
THESE PAST MONTHS
- What?
- Nothing, I was looking at you.
Yes, I noticed.
I really like the way you walk,
Barbara.
- Haven't I ever told you that?
- No, you never told me that.
Well, it's true
you walk like a movie star.
Right.
- How are you?
- Okay, tired.
I went to bed late yesterday
and I don't have much time for lunch.
- What's the rush?
- The desire to see you.
- And because I wanted to talk to you.
- Talk about what?
About things, talk.
Why are you making that face?
- I just don't like surprises.
- Even if they're good?
Us movie stars, we're like that.
Shall we go?
Do you like this table?
Yes. Why?
It seems a little noisy.
- Don't worry, it's fine here.
- Of course I worry.
A quieter table would be better.
What are we doing?
Shall we sit down or not?
Wait, I'll ask her.
Please.
We'd like to sit at a quieter table,
if possible.
- Is it possible?
- Yes.
- Perfect. Look how nice.
- Super.
Where do you want to sit? There?
I don't mind.
I was going to sit here,
but if you prefer...
No, no, I was thinking about you,
in case you prefer to sit on the sofa.
Well, right here.
Sit down, Andres, please.
Have I thanked you
for putting up with me?
Not today, not yet.
Wait, let me say hello to someone.
Just for a minute.
Take a look at menu.
David.
Andres!
I have seen you pass
and I didn't know if it was you.
Yes, I'm still me.
What are you doing here?
We have the studio here and we usually
come here to eat. And you?
I'm meeting a friend for lunch.
She works near here too.
A friend.
- Is she a very good friend?
- We're starting a relationship.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
She's very pretty...
And very young, right?
Yeah. A bit.
She was my student
a couple of years ago.
But nothing happened.
Then she went to the United States
to study and came back a few months ago.
We met by chance one afternoon
in a bookstore
and we started talking and talking.
Very romantic.
Yes... It was like when the sun
comes out after a week of storms.
Andres, someone might hear you.
Let's not lose our dignity
at this age.
I've even started writing again.
After three years.
I see, you're reborn.
Today I invited her to lunch
to propose that she come live with me.
You're not going to get down
on your knees and make a scene.
Because then I'll stay.
No. She's got a lot of trouble
at the apartment where she's living.
She has to leave it now.
And I thought
she could come live at my house.
The point is to make
life complicated, right?
Yes.
I have to go,
I'm glad to see you so happy.
And if there's a wedding, invite me.
Done.
Can I get you something to drink?
Yes. Bring a bottle of wine.
The house wine or would you like
to see the wine list?
No, the house wine's fine.
Thanks.
Yes,
you've met him,
I introduced him to you at the theater.
Andres, his name is Andres.
He looks like my father?
You think so?
I don't know.
What a terrible thought that is.
He's cool, but he's older.
He even wrote me a poem.
I don't know,
I couldn't make heads or tails of it.
At a restaurant now,
he invited me to lunch.
But we'll end up splitting the bill.
He's a bit stingy.
Listen,
the other day I hooked up with Luca,
the Italian musician.
And he keeps texting me.
I'm confused...
Yeah... I've kept it going too long.
Yes, I know... I'll talk to him now.
Where will you be?
As soon as I break it off with Andrs,
I'll join you. Bye.
Ah, there you are.
I'll just go to the bathroom
and then we'll order, okay?
Okay.
That was David, an old friend.
We hardly ever see each other anymore.
- Andrs.
- Have you tried the wine? Is it good?
Yes.
I don't know.
- Do you like it?
- Yes. I don't know.
Please!
Andrs, it's not necessary.
- It's all right. No problem.
- Are you ready to order?
No, not yet.
But we don't like the wine.
If you don't mind,
we'd like a different one.
It's the one you ordered,
the house wine.
- Do you want the wine list?
- If you would be so kind.
Let's see.
- This one?
- Sure.
Bring us this one, please.
Thanks.
- How are things today?
- Today?
- Yes. At work.
- Better, but I don't like it.
I didn't study for seven years
to be making photocopies.
All in good time.
You need to be patient.
Much better. Try it, Barbara.
- It's really not necessary.
- Go ahead.
If you don't like it, we'll get another.
- Do you like it?
- Very much.
Andrs.
Let me think how to tell you this...
- It's because of my poem, isn't it?
- Your poem?
- The poem I wrote you.
- What about it?
You feel bad you said nothing,
that I might think
you didn't like it, right?
I loved your poem. I loved it.
- Barbara.
- What?
It's okay if you didn't like it.
Don't be afraid to tell me.
I'm a writer, I'm used to it.
I just wanted to give it to you
as a little gift.
Whenever I fall in love with a woman,
I need to write,
put my feelings into words.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Me? Why?
Because you've made me
very happy these last few months.
Yeah...
Andrs.
I'd like to tell you something.
Me first.
- That's why I invited you to lunch.
- Okay.
I've been trying to find
the right moment for days now,
that's why I insisted yesterday
that we meet today.
Have you decided yet?
- Yes.
- No. Not yet.
These last few weeks have been
the best autumn of my life
since we met up again that afternoon
in the bookstore and talked and talked.
- Especially me.
- Especially you, yes.
And then you let me be your lover.
Me.
You, yes.
And that's why I don't want
to lie to you. It wouldn't be fair.
I just want the best for you,
and I couldn't forgive myself
for hurting you.
Understand?
Not really, no, Andrs.
A few weeks ago,
I took my children to their house
one afternoon.
I started talking with my wife.
With my ex-wife.
For the first time in two years,
we were able to talk without arguing.
She made me some coffee,
it was nice.
And then, she confessed
that she didn't know why,
but lately she's started
having feelings for me again.
That she missed me.
A few weeks ago?
Or a bit more.
What happened?
What did you say to her?
Nothing.
I said I was with you, very happy,
starting something
and that I was very sorry,
but I didn't share her feelings.
- She was a little embarrassed, of course.
- Of course.
But then she kissed me.
She kissed you?
Yes. She went crazy
and started touching me
and we ended up making love.
- With your ex-wife?
- Yes.
It was like a rush,
we couldn't control it.
- More wine?
- No.
And then?
Have you two been sleeping together?
Not in bed,
but otherwise,
we've had sex everywhere.
Wild times like that
but that's not the main thing.
It isn't?
And what's the main thing?
- Don't be angry, Barbara.
- I don't get angry.
But you call me every day.
You write me poems,
you won't take your eyes off me.
And meanwhile it turns out
you've been cheating on me with your ex.
Who you said you hated.
Why are you telling me all this?
Because we've decided to give it
another chance
and live together again.
I could keep it a secret
and we could go on seeing each other...
...but you don't deserve that.
And even if you're angry with me,
I wanted to tell you the truth.
I hope you can forgive me,
and we can continue to be friends.
Or whatever you want.
Or whatever I want?
Whatever you want.
Andrs.
Earlier. By the restroom...
you overheard my conversation
with my friend, didn't you?
No...
Andrs.
The set menu is fine.
I'll have a flan for dessert.
Thank you.
PARIS
You feel so good after beating a friend.
Did you let me win,
or is something wrong?
What's with the face?
I couldn't see you on the court, Edu!
You weren't here.
What's wrong with you today?
I found a photo.
You found a photo.
A photo of Paris.
- I didn't know you'd been to Paris.
- No, I've never been to Paris.
Sofia's been there.
You found a photo
of your wife in Paris.
Yes.
I found a photo of Sofia in Paris
that I'd never seen before.
I know you're trying to tell me
something but I don't really...
A year ago,
Sofia was in Paris with her sister.
I found the photo in a book
she's reading, you see?
No, what exactly are we talking about?
This photo.
- Did you take a photo of the photo?
- Yes.
- Why?
- I don't know, to try to figure it out.
Figure what out?
They met someone
and she didn't tell me.
See them?
She's talking to Sofia
in the background.
- Very pretty.
- Yes,
she's a French journalist.
- A French journalist.
- Yes, her name is Nicole.
She worked here a few months,
a few years ago.
We met at the newspaper
and we became friends
and Sofia met her too.
You see?
No, what exactly is the problem?
Sofia never told me that
she saw Nicole in Paris.
They had been talking.
- And that's a problem?
- It's strange... Why didn't she tell me?
I don't know, it's a real mystery.
I'm getting cold, let's go shower now.
I can think of only one reason...
because Sofia didn't want
to talk about Nicole.
- You know why?
- No, but you're about to tell me.
Because she knows.
What does she know?
That we had an affair.
Edu, you don't have affairs.
You'd like to, but you don't.
You're repressed
and a good person, not like me.
Edu, did you?
But with fucking?
Pretty much, pretty much.
Why are you making that face?
It's my disappointed face.
I'm disappointed.
It's the only time
I've ever cheated on Sofia.
It can happen to anyone.
It's not that.
We can share these things,
we've been friends for 20 years.
I didn't tell you because of Sofia.
Out of respect for her.
Would you tell me
if you cheated on someone I know?
I'd love it but I can't have a partner
because I'm hyperactive.
I haven't slept for days,
I'm so anxious...
Just to think that she's always known,
that she never told me.
- We're going to have another baby soon.
- What's that got to do with it?
Everything is connected now.
The day after I found the photo
her sister came over.
- And you know what she said?
- No, I don't.
- That Sofia fainted.
- Sofia?
She fainted.
Her sister remembered
everything perfectly...
About Nicole,
she said hello to Sofia.
She told me that while they were talking,
Sofia suddenly got dizzy
and had to lie down on the floor...
Why didn't she tell me?
How could you forget
to say something like that?
Her sister was surprised
that she hadn't told me.
She knows.
She knows
and I can't look her in the eyes.
Listen...
I'll give you some magic pills now that
I take to relax after parties.
After parties?
You'll feel better
and see everything differently.
- You'll see.
- Okay.
You feel better now, don't you?
This morning I was going
through the closet looking for something
and guess what I found?
- Nicole's corpse?
- Her box.
- What box?
- Sofia's box.
And what would you find there?
Photos of her old lovers...
Her diary.
Good idea!
That's the first thing you've said
that makes any sense.
- Read the diary and forget all this.
- I can't, we made a pact.
You're so dramatic today, really.
She'd be more upset
if she discovers I opened her box
than about the affair with Nicole.
If I hadn't found that photo...
Exactly, that's the idea, you said it.
- What idea?
- You didn't open that book, Edu.
I didn't?
You didn't see the photo,
you don't even remember
she went to Paris
and you never thought
Sofia might suspect your affair.
Why would you think that?
You didn't open the book, say it.
I didn't open the book.
See? Get out of the car,
it's getting late.
Hey.
Thanks for listening to me.
That's what friends are for, right?
To share things.
Bye.
Have you ordered another round?
You don't answer my messages anymore?
I sent you a few recently.
I wanted to know
how your soap opera was going.
You don't want to tell me?
Why? What have you done?
Did you find the diary?
Did you read it?
Does she know?
Are you sure?
Edu, you're very prone to...
- You took a photo of the diary, too?
- Of course.
I don't have my glasses,
I can't read this.
- Want a summary?
- Please.
One day Sofia came to meet me
at the newspaper
and from the sidewalk,
she saw me eating with Nicole
at the restaurant next door.
When she was about to enter,
she saw something.
What did she see?
A gesture.
She saw a gesture, what gesture?
I stroked her cheek, like this.
The next few days
she was spying on me,
and she even saw me go into her house.
- Why didn't she tell you?
- She was going to.
She was?
I'll read it.
"Edu returns from Madrid on Sunday.
I'll tell him to leave that very night.
I'll put some of his things
in a suitcase.
I'm very sad.
I'll never trust anyone again.
- And what happened?
- Nothing happened.
Thanks.
- And when you came back that Sunday?
- Sofia was at home with Martin,
I arrived and nothing.
- I was about to talk to her today.
- No, I told you that's forbidden.
I need to apologize.
The hell you do. That's a lie.
You want to talk about it,
because you wonder
why she never told you she knew.
I don't know what to do.
Forget that,
you are going to mess it up.
What should I do?
What were you talking about?
Edu, do what I told you,
and I mean, do nothing.
No improvising! Got that?
Repeat it.
No improvising.
If you panic,
take a pill and shot of whiskey.
Whiskey?
- Hello.
- Hello.
But weren't you meeting to play tennis?
- I hope you're not deceiving me.
- Not at all.
What's up? How are you doing?
Well, you can see.
I'm going to the supermarket,
want to come?
Of course.
- Goodbye, Jota.
- Bye.
Don't bring me flowers in the hospital.
- No flowers.
- No.
Listen, Edu,
I've been wanting to talk to you
about something for days.
Have you?
It's about us.
I saw it coming.
What?
I'm the one who owes you
an explanation.
What is it, honey?
We can't go on like this,
we're going to have another baby soon.
We need to be honest with each other.
I'm not sure.
I cheated on you with another woman
a couple of years ago
and I'm really sorry.
I had a relationship
with my journalist friend,
the French woman you met.
It was only for a few weeks,
I fell in love a little bit
and I didn't know how to stop it,
but I swear I haven't heard
from her since.
I just hope you can forgive me...
you and Martin and Claudia.
We're not calling her Claudia.
We'll name her whatever you want
because you're
the most important thing in my life
and I don't want to lose you.
I had to tell you, understand?
Not, not really. I think these things
are better left unsaid.
What's the use?
I could throw this shelf full of chickpeas
at your head right now.
I'm very angry.
- I can imagine.
- Really!
But I'm not gonna do it,
we'll pretend nothing happened,
and that's it.
Especially if it happened
two years ago.
Of course.
Here. Get some apple juice.
Are you sure you don't want
to talk about it?
You caught me at a bad time,
do you see me?
I'm just surprised
you're not more upset.
I'm upset but I'm also very forgiving
and focus on the future.
It's just that I know.
What do you know?
That you discovered us two years ago...
You saw us at that restaurant,
you've known all along.
And how long have you known?
- Since the other day.
- Since the other day?
But how do you know?
You're going to get angry.
What have you done?
I read your diary.
You're right, I'm going to get angry
because we had a pact.
I'm so sorry,
but I needed to know if you knew,
see?
To be sure before I told you all this,
and to understand
why you didn't get angry with me.
Of course I was angry, very angry.
But why didn't you say anything?
I was going to... and kick you
out of the house
and tell you I'd found out
and I even packed your suitcase.
- I know.
- But there was a party at the hospital.
What party?
The nurses' party.
- The nurses' party?
- Yes.
And I was so upset, so beside myself...
I must have had about 200 margaritas.
Margaritas.
And later I couldn't drive, so Ciro...
...an Argentine doctor,
drove me home.
And somehow we started making out.
Rage made me do it.
Of course.
And then, with a hangover,
I thought, what should I do?
Why tell you?
We were even, like a tie, right?
We were tied, yes.
Goon,
get the detergent,
the big one, it's too heavy for me.
- Did you see each other again?
- That's enough, don't get obsessive now.
It's just to know.
Yes, a few more times...
You know, you start,
you get a taste for it
and then it's hard to stop.
Like you with the French woman, right?
Of course.
But I never went back to his house.
- Okay?
- Okay.
We used to make out at the hospital,
when we were on call.
At the hospital?
Yes, until we got caught.
You got caught?
By whom?
- An anesthesiologist.
- Who?
You don't know him.
I'm embarrassed to talk about it.
- Why?
- Because I'm not like that,
it was your fault it happened to me.
That was risky, at the hospital.
Good thing he didn't tell anyone,
you could have been fired.
He didn't because I hooked up
with him, too.
With him too?
I was so angry
that I wasn't acting like myself.
What do you expect?
Nothing, maybe that's enough.
You see?
These things are better left unsaid.
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm not sure.
I have to pee.
I'll go home. Will you stay and pay?
Sofia.
What?
What did you want to tell me?
It doesn't matter.
- We'll talk tomorrow.
- What was it?
If you like, we can get married.
- Us?
- Yes, us, who else?
I know you might not feel the need,
but I'd like to,
- before she's born.
- Yes, I'd like that.
I don't want to force you.
Are you sure?
You're not going to cry now.
It's because of everything...
so much emotion.
- Okay, we'll talk about it.
- Okay.
It would be good
before summer, all right?
Yes.
Jota.
I'm still at the supermarket.
I didn't say anything,
I listened to you.
You were right.
It's better to leave things as they are.
Listen to me,
here's a surprise.
I know you told me
not to improvise, but...
I asked her to marry me.
I asked her to marry me.
