NETFLIX PRESENTS
-Hurry up, Mich!
-I'm coming!
It's not like I can fly, Grandma!
I'm glad you came, Mich.
Your mom will be so happy
you wanted to see the Rower rehearsal.
Very good, girls!
How are the preparations going?
-Good!
-Yes!
I brought you a surprise.
Bean tamales. Come on.
To replenish your strength.
Thank you so much.
Tell me, how is everything going?
-How are the dresses?
-Good.
They're almost ready.
And the headdresses?
Mich, come and help me, dear.
Help you, yes. Uh
-I'll be right back, okay?
-Okay.
I'll go and be right back.
MICH: FRIENDS, I HAVE A PROBLEM
I'M AT A FLOWER REHEARSAL
BUT THERE'S AN ALICE ONE TOO
AND I CAN'T GO
AND I NEED SOME ADVICE
TANIA
UNAVAILABLE
YADI
OFFLINE
MICH
STOP BEING MAD, I NEED YOU, PLEASE!
YADI: WE CAN'T, MICH,
WE'RE BUSY REACHING OUR OWN GOALS
No one loves me anymore.
I don't think I've ever been this sad.
If my friends don't love me,
and my mom doesn't understand me,
I should just run away, right?
What would you do?
Nothing.
Why are you talking to strangers, Ezekiel?
Let's go.
Thanks, Eze.
I LOVE YOU BOTH
I KNOW I LET YOU DOWN,
BUT I'LL ALWAYS CARRY YOUR ADVICE WITH ME
THANKS FOR BEING
SUCH GOOD FRIENDS. MICH
WHY IS IT SO BAD THAT I LIKE A GIRL?
IT'S BEST IF I LEAVE HOME
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWER 1997
XOCHIMILCO
Mich?
What are you doing here?
-You look so beautiful, Majo.
-Thanks.
Where are you going?
I'm leaving Xochi for a few days.
Actually, I wondered
if you wanted to come with me.
You're leaving? Where to?
I don't know.
Where do you go when
you run away from home?
Oh, Mich.
Was it that bad?
Hi.
Your boyfriend.
-Shall we go, my love?
-"My love"?
Since when do you call each other that?
You've been together
ten minutes, or something, right?
Well.
Who am I to judge, right?
Where are we going?
It's a super romantic date.
-But if you want, I'll stay with you.
-No.
-It sounds super romantic. Go, have fun.
-Sure?
Yes. A hundred percent.
Don't you want a ride?
No, it's close. I can walk, pretty much.
-Sure?
-Yes.
What a gentleman.
Sure?
A hundred percent.
-What are you going to do today, Mati?
-I need to see Bren.
We're going to have one of those talks.
Things aren't going so well.
-Are you going to break up?
-Something like that, I don't know.
Hey, Mati.
I need you to give me a ride.
-Where to?
-I don't know.
To the end of the world.
At least out of Xochi.
I ran away from home, Mati.
What happened?
Well,
I'd rather not talk about it.
-Will you take me?
-I don't know, Mich.
I do need to see Brenda. Clear things up.
Mati, this is a great chance
for an adventure.
Live a little! Come on.
Let the party continue. Please.
Look.
-Yes? Will you take me?
-Okay.
All right. Where's the end of the world?
Where my dad is?
-Really?
-I don't know, yes?
Come on, it's not that far.
-All right. Let's go.
-Okay. I'm taking the gummies.
-No, they're mine.
-No, I'll pay you on the way.
-Leave me alone.
-Dude.
BAPTISM
-The food looks delicious.
-Yes.
-We need to try some.
-Yes, please.
Oh, no.
My Dani, how are you?
-It's been so long.
-Good, Auntie.
This is Majo, my girlfriend.
-Hello, ma'am, a pleasure.
-Hello. No, please don't call me ma'am.
-You can call me "Auntie."
-Okay.
Hey, beautiful shirt.
-Thanks.
-I think I bought one like that.
I don't remember
if it was in Spain or France.
-It's from Chiapas.
-So beautiful.
Shame there's so much poverty.
I prefer to travel abroad.
Anyway, it was nice to see you, son.
-Have fun.
-Thank you.
Sorry. She's like that.
-Dani "banani"!
-Auntie!
-How are you?
-Good, and you?
This is Majo, my girl.
-Hi, I didn't see you.
-A pleasure.
You're not Dani's type at all.
Well, I'll leave you kids.
-I requested it for you.
-Yes!
-Want to dance?
-Yes.
Far away from here.
Want to play something?
Like what?
I don't know.
Truth or dare?
I don't know.
Are you afraid of the truth?
-No.
-Well, then.
Truth or dare?
Okay, then. Truth.
Have you had sex with Brenda?
Come on!
Yes or no?
-What's it to you?
-It's truth or dare!
You said truth.
No, not yet.
Okay. That's it. That's the game.
MUCHACHA
LOS ROMÁNTICOS DE ZACATECAS
That's eight.
Hey, Bren. I can't see you today.
A friend left home and needs help.
Damn Mich!
What's wrong?
Why did you scream? The chips!
What happened?
Your turn.
Truth or dare?
Truth.
What is the crime we're escaping from?
I told my mom that
maybe I liked
a girl, and
the only thing she said was,
"I won't say anything,
and I hope you do the same."
What's the problem?
What do you mean? I like
I'm pansexual.
Love is love.
That's something Brenda would say.
So what?
The important thing is you know
who you are and are cool with it.
Mati, how do you do it?
You're so calm, so cool.
You're not afraid of anything.
What are you afraid of?
Is there anything that knocks down Matías?
I think there is.
There is something that scares me.
Chinelo folk dancers.
They dress so weirdly,
the masks scare me a lot.
And their mustaches remind me of my dad.
The Chinelos of Xochimilco?
But they're cultural heritage,
how can they scare you?
Would you be with me if I were a Chinela?
Truth or dare.
All right, your turn.
Dare.
Okay. We'll make a quick stop here.
Why does it always
have to be Mich, Brenda?
Because it is always her.
-Hello?
-Always.
Mom. How are you?
No. Hey, is Mich there?
No, I just wanted to say hi.
Okay, uh-huh.
Well, let me know if anything happens.
I'm here, call me, Mom. Bye.
So? Did she run away?
They haven't heard from her.
She only left a note.
I'm sure she's fine.
Your grandma is worried sick.
My sister's the same, or worse.
-With things the way they are.
-Let's go over there.
Worried about your cousin?
No.
Okay, I mean, she's probably
just making a scene to get attention.
But let's go.
Be there. Yes, let's go.
Remember when Dani mixed up Father Rafa
with the man who brought us breakfast
and gave him a tip?
-I didn't know you were a missionary.
-No.
Well, yes.
Sometimes. I used to do it more.
You weren't a very good missionary.
He doesn't know the verses.
I only do it because my grandparents
make me. I get bored and there's no Wi-Fi.
Of course there's Wi-Fi. Haven't you seen
the choir kids' TikToks? They're great.
Anyway, that's not why we go.
We go to see what we can share
and learn from people.
I love going, honestly.
Even though I forget the verses sometimes.
I think that evangelizing is
very condescending.
In the true sense.
May I?
FIVE MISSED CALLS
BRENDA
I love peeing in the forest.
Mich, come in! The water's delicious.
But I don't have a bathing suit.
With all the honor that comes
with doing the dare, you have to come in.
Going in the water is my dare?
The dare is that we swim naked.
What would my friends say?
Well, Yadi would say,
"Yeah, do it, you only live once."
And Tania
Tania would say, "Obviously!"
But the dare is to swim naked.
Don't look.
Hold me.
-You have something here.
-Oh, no!
It's a scar I got when
Gil got stuck on a branch.
Yeah, you're an intrepid heroine.
You think so?
I am.
What's with you?
Good dare, Mati.
-It was cool, right?
-Yes.
It was really cool.
I swam naked!
Why did she run away?
It's my fault.
Yes, stay well. See you later, take care.
Mich?
-What are you doing here?
-I came to see you.
How nice, give me a hug.
And you? You must be my son-in-law.
Yes, nice to meet you, Father-in-Law.
That's cool.
How are you? Good?
-All cool.
-Have you eaten?
-No?
-No, we haven't eaten.
The restaurant is great. My treat.
-Sure.
-Let's change first, girlfriend.
Okay.
-Ten minutes. Don't be long.
-Yes.
See you there. Let's go, my love.
Nothing strange.
I KNOW I LET YOU DOWN,
BUT I'LL ALWAYS CARRY YOUR ADVICE WITH ME
I don't understand.
If she's not with them, who's she with?
Well, who knows?
I've been searching and searching,
but there's no clue
about where she could be or with whom.
Mom, Mich took her toothbrush with her.
People she might be with,
girlfriends,
the friend or boyfriend
I think that's it.
At her age I used to spend all day
with my boyfriend.
What fun.
-Mom!
-Anyway.
-Where?
-At a conference in Morelos.
What?
My dad told me he was going
to a conference in Morelos. Mich heard.
But Jess, how can we know
that Mich is there?
This is the profile of that boy, Mati.
-Isn't he your boyfriend?
-The snotty boy?
What are we waiting for? Let's go!
-Yeah, let's go.
-No, we can't.
-Why?
-The car's in the shop.
But I've got
the "Chabelamobile." Let's go!
-Let's go. I'll drive.
-Mom, come on.
No, I'll stay here,
in case Mich comes back. Yes.
But let me know.
Yes, I'll let you know.
Thank you.
Dad, I don't eat any of this.
You have to eat vegetables,
It's important for your growth.
How old do you think I am?
How could I not know how old you are?
How old?
What a question, right?
How old?
I'm 16, Dad.
Since I was six
I've known I was allergic to carrots.
Hey, what's the best paper
for printing recipes?
Definitely bond, sir.
It's the perfect weight, it absorbs ink
-My darling, how are you?
-Hello.
Your dad told me you were here.
You're so pretty, I love your curls.
What's this, a potion?
How has your sister been behaving?
-Sorry, nice to meet you, I'm Candy.
-Hello.
What sister?
My daughter.
Your dad's your sister, dummy.
Oh, Jessi.
Yes.
-She's a little angel.
-Isn't she? Hey, where's your dad?
-Uh
-Ooh, traditional candies!
What a funny lady.
Now I have to convince her
it's a good idea that we live together.
Who wouldn't want to live with you?
You're the greatest.
You're the bee's knees.
Shut up, why are you talking like that?
-Are you the type to jump in?
-Yes, but my cousins and I
So do you think
I should stop going on missions?
If you really like it
I used to do it
to spend more time with my cousins
but I don't know
if I enjoy it as much now.
As much as I do with you.
I have a good time with you too.
Like that time we went to the fair,
remember? I won a teddy bear for you.
What?
-That wasn't me.
-What?
No.
It was Mich.
Sorry.
-I don't know
-All right.
I guess I just
I also have cool anecdotes with Mich.
The other day she told me
there used to be manatees in the lake.
Mich always has such cool stories.
Yes.
Earlier something was wrong
and she didn't want to tell me.
Maybe I should've insisted more.
I'm going to the bathroom.
-Who did you come with?
-Dani.
Are you the fabulous Mich
who my cousin Dani always talks about?
Yes, Mich is fabulous.
You haven't told me what happened
with your friends.
I don't think I want to talk about that.
All right.
But the game hasn't finished.
Truth or dare?
Dare.
Let's go into your dad's conference.
No, truth then.
-Too late for that.
-No, Mati.
Come on, it'll be cool.
-Why my dad's conference, of all things?
-Come on!
This small being, the helminth nematode,
enterobius vermicularis,
or oxyurus, as their friends call them,
is a common but voracious parasite.
A one-centimeter-long roundworm,
white, with filaments, it only lives
in the large intestine of human beings.
While the afflicted person sleeps,
the female leaves the intestinal tract,
and lays her eggs inside.
Never before had an innocent taco
been
so dangerous.
Thank you.
Your dad's an artist like you.
Why don't you ask your friends
if they've heard anything?
No, my friends aren't Mich's friends.
But you're cousins,
that's almost like sisters.
-Pull over.
-What?
-Us?
-Oh, no.
-What have you done now?
-Can't you see? Nothing.
-Nothing? There must be some reason.
-I'm stopping!
Thank you.
What's up, kids? Did you like the show?
I mean, the presentation.
It was incredible, sir.
And you?
-I liked it.
-Yeah?
-Honey.
-Yes.
He wants to meet you.
Dr. Polgach? Polgrach.
I'll be right back.
Maybe I can have a good time with my dad.
Yes.
But a lot of people in Xochi
would miss you.
Like me.
The van has several fines.
-Well.
-Two years' worth.
I used to pay those fines.
But my sister has to grow up.
Take responsibility.
And pay.
-We're going to tow the vehicle.
-No. What?
What do you mean, take it?
You can't,
I'm going to the supermarket tomorrow.
Look, officer.
-We're in a family crisis. Let us go.
-I have to go get my daughter.
-She's waiting.
-Don't raise your voice.
-Don't what?!
-Come with me.
Please!
-Hilda, get back in!
-She got out!
-Don't get out. Stop filming.
-Get in.
I'm sorry.
-No.
-I'm sorry. I have to go see my daughter.
I made her leave home.
If you take me away,
I won't be able to talk to her.
And tell her I love her.
And that
even if I don't understand her,
I was wrong.
And I have to respect her decisions.
Please help me.
Help me, miss, please.
Calm down, Mich.
You can't like your cousin's boyfriend.
Well, not that much. No.
Be good.
Even though your cousin is
a bitch.
It's not like
we did anything wrong, I just
saw him naked before she did.
Even though I need you
I'm leaving you
But about forgetting you
I don't know
I'm leaving but I carry you inside
Of me
Beautiful.
Thank you.
Hey, Dad.
I was thinking,
can I live here with you for a while?
Of course. You can come
on vacation whenever you want.
No. I mean,
not on vacation.
For
a while longer?
Hey, shall we go for a walk
in the center later?
We could go now, actually.
The weather's nice.
You really don't understand anything.
A good doctor dad
should at least know
his daughter is allergic to carrots.
Wait, I have some antihistamine samples.
Look, this one
is great, it should work.
You're right, we can't live together.
You don't know anything about me.
About Alice in Xochiland,
or what it is to be a woman
and like a woman.
You like a woman?
-I'm not talking about that.
-What are you talking about, then?
Everyone knows me except
Mich, relax.
It's all going to be fine.
If you want, we can go out now,
and I'll rent you an ATV
for you to have a ride on.
-Yeah?
-An ATV?
Come on!
Do you think I came
all the way here for an ATV?
I don't want an ATV, I want my dad!
I want you
to stop cancelling me emotionally!
Can't you see?
Sorry, honey.
I have to take this call, okay?
Give me a second.
Doctor Armando?
Yes, I can hear you.
I just want you to know
that I am much better off in Xochi.
I miss my friends.
And my mom.
-Hey.
-Hey.
You forgot your memento from Santi.
Okay.
Hey, are you mad at me?
No, not at all.
Maybe I think differently than your aunt.
And your other aunt.
Yes.
And your cousins.
Yes, they're a special case.
But I think we have another problem.
-What?
-I think it's very obvious.
We both have a big crush on Mich.
-What do we do?
-I don't know.
Just be friends?
All right, the last one.
Truth or dare?
Truth.
Sure?
Why did you run away with me
rather than stay with Brenda?
I think I prefer the way you treat me.
And the way we get along.
And because I like you.
You're my cousin's boyfriend.
Family!
This can't happen.
I don't want to lose you, darling.
No.
You're in big trouble.
Hello.
Thanks for taking care of my family.
Yes.
No, I'll close it, don't worry.
-Thank you.
-No worries.
By the way, kids,
I bought you animal key rings.
-Butterfly for you.
-Thank you.
-Platypus for you.
-Thank you.
I'm glad you came.
-And for you
-Thanks.
See you soon.
You're having fun with your little
brother, your sister, and Hilda.
-It could be worse, Mom.
-I love you.
-Come on.
-Look after yourself.
-I love you.
-Love you too.
I guess I'll see you tomorrow.
-Yes. Bye.
-Bye.
Take care.
Hey.
We'll have a talk soon.
-Mich, come on, hurry up.
-Yes.
Get in.
You kissed Brenda's boyfriend.
That's not true.
You're hallucinating, you're crazy.
They gave you too much chocolate,
it's not possible.
Uh-huh?
Where did you get that?
Why did you take a picture?
