It's so pretty.
It's my mother.
I'm sorry.
I don't like it there either.
Let's find another place for it.
Here?
A bit creepy, isn't it?
No, it's fine there.
It was fine where it was.
You are right.
It has dents in the base, it's not flat
so it doesn't make contact with the stovetop.
Well, it does but not with the whole surface,
so the heat doesn't reach the top.
We would have to find a moka pot with a flat base
to heat the whole surface.
Maricarmen, I think we have...
God, you're so annoying.
Why didn't you ask the landlord
to replace that shelf in the room?
If you don't feel comfortable, I can call him myself and I'll...
Dad...
get the van...
I bought it.
I really like it.
It's very spacious.
Do you remember this wine?
1982.
The beach, Maricarmen.
That wine is Sofía's father.
Mom...
What? It's always the same...
Maricarmen and her things...
It's not a joke.
We owe an important part of Sofía's existence to the wine.
You always tell the same story.
- Well, Paloma hasn't heard it. - Right.
And how did you meet?
At a funeral.
That's not true.
That's what she says because she's counting
from the first time we talked.
But the first time I saw her was at my mom's funeral.
And what's your version?
I don't remember.
- C'mon. - I don't remember, seriously.
How can you not remember?
Don't we always talk about the same?
He's so annoying...
They've found a spot in her uterus.
Her appointment is this week.
I think.
We should drink Sophia's father, right?
Doesn't it smell weird?
Shit!
For salad dressings.
Do you know...
why the engagement ring is used?
Hey! Don't laugh, it has a lot of meaning.
It's circular...
because it represents the couple's infinite love.
It's made of gold, look,
because it's a pure metal and it has your partner's name inside.
See? Look, look!
Ma-ri-car-men.
Because she's the only one that can touch you.
- So you are a believer? - I believe in beauty.
So you were saying you are paying how much for rent?
Four hundred plus utilities.
Wow, that's great.
You have a garage, right?
We don't have a car.
Let's toast for the environment!
- For you? - No.
What about the rooms? The small one barely fits one.
I'm fine, thanks.
You'll raffle it off?
C'mon, Maricarmen, they will manage.
They are adults.
Is the small one yours?
That's the guest room.
I sleep in the master bedroom.
With Paloma.
I knew it.
How did you know?
A mother knows everything.
It's a joke, right?
It's a joke.
THE OBJECTS' STATEMENT
Maricarmen, we're leaving.
We have to try and leave the filter on.
If not, the stray hairs will block these old pipes.
I always forget.
We could shave our heads.
- And there? - No.
It's so trippy...
- Better? - No.
Let me see.
I think we'll need to buy an adapter.
Yeah...
It's Nuria.
I'm not here.
She doesn't work here anymore.
Okay, bye.
The other day I read in an article
that men that see a birth can never get excited again.
Interesting.
Well, Mario wants to be there.
He wants to film it, you know.
He bought one of those Full HD cameras.
Reflex, I think they are called.
I'm a bit uneasy, to be honest.
Imagine, my pussy in Full HD.
What if that thing I read is true?
Then tell him to film you now.
Why now?
If he never gets excited again, he can use it to jerk off
now that you don't look pregnant yet.
It was a joke.
GIRL SEEKS GIRL CHAT ROOM
SOFÍA
GATACHINA
I thought it was smaller.
Mom, lower your voice.
- How are you? - I'm fine, you?
Ok, can we grab a coffee?
I'll finish at two.
At two...
I have to pick your father up.
It's all fine, okay? Give it time.
- Okay. - Bye, see you soon.
A present for your saint's day.
Why does everyone but me know my saint's day?
Everyone?
Juana, my coworker, came to work with the meaning of my name.
Incredible...
It was so generic and ambiguous that is easy to believe.
Juana?
Juana, my coworker.
That's what you do at work?
Yes.
I love the possible and the impossible.
I'm fiery but I seek solitude.
I'm original but I have a pliant mind.
For fuck sake!
Paloma, Paloma, Paloma...
Kind and agreeable.
Soft, friendly, sharp.
She loves the harmony of forms
and persuasive methods.
She likes to feel praised, of course.
Right.
Expressive and obligating nature.
She takes pride in the conciliation of opposite interests
and the attention to detail.
She takes pride in the conciliation of opposite interests
and the attention to detail?
Do you know anything about your dad?
The same as you.
Aren't you going to talk to him?
It'll take him time to absorb it.
Didn't you see the slap?
I did, Paloma.
And?
- My name is Ofelia, yours? - Gatachina.
What do I have to do?
Chat.
About what?
I don't know.
About anything.
You can search by author or title.
For something more specific you have the other fields, okay?
It doesn't work.
You have to select.
- Here? - Yes
- The author here. - Yes.
What do we write?
What you want to search.
A Confederacy... What was it?
- A Confederacy... - Of Dunces.
I have to go.
I check the box...
Yes.
How do I know where the book is?
There's a number there you have to write down,
then go to that room, the aisles are numbered.
7, 8, 9, 10...
Bring the book to me, you borrow it and bring it back in two weeks.
There's a fine for every overdue book.
Okay.
You have two weeks, thanks.
I'll take it.
I need your card.
Not that one.
You have to fill this form, bring a small photo and your ID.
Why did you come, Pedro?
Mario says it looks like him, huh?
Mario hasn't seen it yet.
Next time let me know and I'll go with you.
Okay.
Yes?
Would you like to have a child?
I would need to stop smoking.
Or not. My mom smoked while she was pregnant.
She says nicotine is better than anxiety.
I can see you as a mom.
Susana, you can't smoke.
I saw Susana's baby in an ultrasound today.
It was a spot this big.
Susana your coworker? Is she pregnant?
Yes, I already told you.
We could invite her to dinner.
A work dinner.
Your coworker could come too. Marta?
Juana.
How is Juana?
Are you going to eat that?
You have a fascinating metabolism.
Tired of things breaking down?
With Pottex, the new super glue, it's all in the past.
If it's broken, it will get fixed
Try it and discover Pottex's superpowers.
No matter the material, Pottex will fix it.
Hi, Juana.
Yes, something I ate didn't sit well with me.
I won't go into work, okay?
Yes.
Great, thank you.
Bye.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
I'm looking for the Phytotherapy Manual by Nymar.
See the computers? You can look for it there.
I did but I can't find it.
Let's see.
It's weird because I've seen it here.
No, it's not here.
Maybe it has another name.
Did you say Nymar?
It's no here either.
Are you sure of the name?
Yes, yes, I don't know.
Could it be in the repository?
If it's not here, I doubt it.
But I need it.
Wait a second, I'll look again.
- Thanks. - I doubt it's here, though.
Do you like it?
Paloma...
Paloma, ¡stop!
Your perfume smells great.
It's not mine.
- Did they say anything? - No, nothing.
Well, Sofia, tell me how did it start?
Maricarmen.
Imagine we are invited to a TV show
and they ask you: "who is she?"
My girlfriend.
I know but who knows it?
You know it, right?
And my parents.
But everyone should know.
Imagine a famous singer, Madonna, for example.
She dances incredibly well
but only dances at home, no one sees her, she doesn't exist.
She exists, in secret but she exists.
By that logic we can have a secret life,
with secret pregnancies, secrets kids...
That's existing for you?
I have a missed call from the other day.
What did you need?
No idea, I can't remember.
It was probably on silent. Sometimes I forget to turn it off.
Well, you shouldn't have it off.
I know but in the library...
And if it was an emergency?
In that case, I'd have known.
Or not.
Paloma, it's no big deal.
C'mon, let's do...
an exercise.
- What do you want? - Don't worry.
Imagine you get stuck in an elevator.
- Paloma? - Can you imagine?
Now imagine the lights go out...
Open up.
So you're alone and in the dark.
Please!
You would need someone to answer your call.
Ok, I'm sorry.
The sooner the better, right?
Open the door.
If they didn't, you'd start thinking bad things,
you would scream that you can't breathe.
You would want to get out of there because you can't be there alone.
Open up, please!
Then you call and no one picks up.
Would you want them to pick up or not?
I have a friend.
Her partner says things to her.
Shouts at her.
Hits her?
Hi, Sofía. I brought everything.
Let me see.
Give me a minute, okay?
I wish I knew why you like this so much.
Don't you have a more recent photo?
Look, sorry about the other day. I was a bit overwhelmed.
Don't worry.
- Here. - Thanks.
Bye.
Did you have the check up?
No, I went to have the tests done.
You're still going ahead?
If you don't want to get pregnant, it will have to be me.
I only said that now is not the time.
How are you going to pay for the insemination?
How are you going to feed a kid?
That's just a detail.
No, Paloma.
It would be if you had sold three flats.
Fuck, you act like a teenager.
Sofía...
Sofía, your breath smells.
Aren't you going to speak to me?
When you are a mom you'll know.
Do you want to know what the doctor said?
It's benign.
No need for surgery.
Talk to dad.
Don't, you will crease the sleeves.
- Hi, Pedro. - Hi! How are you?
Maricarmen, how are you?
Long time no see!
Having some family time?
So handsome...
He looks good, huh?
The book is funny.
- Yes. - What book?
- Nothing. - Nothing? Am I missing something?
Well, we are in a hurry. Take care.
- Bye, Pedro. - Bye
Are you available tomorrow morning?
The day after?
Okay.
Okay, give me a call when you can.
Okay, goodbye.
Honey.
You fell asleep.
C'mon.
You forgot.
What?
Our anniversary.
C'mon. Let's go.
- Eat, honey. - No, I brushed my teeth.
I'll eat for you then.
It's so good...
Let's toast.
Here, honey.
Take this, great. There we go.
Cheers!
For many more to come...
Look at me, it's 7 years of bad sex if you don't.
Do you have a lot to do today?
Why?
We could go and party tonight.
To celebrate like normal people.
Impossible, I have to finish a dossier.
I also have a meeting. We'll finish late, I guess.
- How's your friend? - Better.
Sure?
That's what she says.
And you?
She's not coming.
- Yes. - No.
It's been 15 minutes.
How do you know?
Because I'm spying on you.
What's your name?
Aren't you going to buy me a drink?
Can I get a...
- Bloody Mary. - Bloody Mary.
You shouldn't drink gin tonic. You don't look that sophisticated.
You're right.
Can I get another one?
What's your name?
Bang.
Stay away from Sofía. Do you hear me?
Sofía!
Sofía?
Sofía!
Hello?
Sweetheart?
Paloma?
Sweetheart?
Paloma?
Paloma.
Hey, honey...
What's wrong? Are you okay?
- Do you love me? - Of course!
What happened?
- Honey, I'm tired. - So am I.
What book did he finish?
Did you read my texts?
I don't want you to read my texts.
So you still see him.
I work in a public library.
Is the library at the club now?
Pedro can write whatever the fuck he wants.
You went?
It's Saturday.
And?
Let's move the furniture.
Yes.
They left it at the mailbox.
It's from that place down the corner.
I thought it was a hair salon.
- And you want to go. Do you? - And you?
Now
that you are in front of me,
glances from yesterday
that finally meet.
You look happy,
I can't lie.
I thought you were suffering,
I see you smile.
The sleepless nights,
the endless days
and your smell in the pillow
so far away from me.
And that's why now
I want to ask
that you listen carefully
to what I'm going to say.
No one is going to love you
like I once loved you.
- No one... - Marry me!
We could meet.
We're meeting now.
I'm serious.
Day and hour?
I work in the mornings.
Me too.
At Rodrigo's?
No.
No, it doesn't have an elevator.
You really have to see it.
If you don't see it, you can't know.
Please, don't hang up.
Hello?
Paloma...
C'mon, let's get out of here.
C'mon.
Mario left.
- Good morning. - Thank you.
What's wrong?
Don't you drink it like that in the library?
Okay, next time you'll do it yourself.
It's okay, Paloma.
- If you don't like it... - I do like it.
- It's fine, I'll take it. - Paloma!
Paloma!
Are you okay?
What are you doing?
Paloma sent you.
No, I dropped the TV.
How?
Cleaning.
You know your mom won't talk to me?
I'm sorry.
You weren't like this.
Do I have to pay anything?
You worked here, right?
You know what the client's manual says.
I don't work here now so tell me.
It's under warranty.
- Leave it here. - Thanks.
How much is it?
C'mon, let's go.
Did you think about tits and pussies?
Was it that?
Did you think about it when we fucked?
Did you? Did you think about fucking a girl?
Pedro, I'm getting out.
Is she the girl from the bar?
From the other day.
Was it her?
Here, she forgot them.
I fuck better than her.
- I fuck way better than her. - Open the door.
Hi, love.
Your panties.
What were your fucking panties doing in Pedro's car?
Who are you?
Sofía?
Gatachina?
Ofelia?
You're going to say that it's a grandma color.
Do you have many dates?
- This is the first one. - Right, you say that to every girl.
I'm serious.
I don't usually go out with emoticons.
So?
You're the friend you told me about.
No.
Are you sure?
Well, then tell your friend
that people don't change, tell her to get out of there.
How old are you?
The same as your mother.
I'm sure my mother wouldn't fit in that dress.
Aren't you bored of the library?
- Are you? - I got used to it.
I like the silence.
For me it's a bit overwhelming.
I would bring a radio to give it some life.
Do you have a partner?
Yes, and you?
No.
I had fun.
Why the past tense?
Because we have arrived, I live here.
Do you want to come up?
Better not.
You sure? I have coffee
and besides, my partner wants to meet you.
I don't have a partner
but I do have coffee.
I'm sure it's late. I better go.
Well...
It was a pleasure, Ofelia.
What are you doing?
Shit!
- Careful, it's hot. - You don't say.
Nuria said the soup has to sit for two minutes.
So you ran away from home.
- No, they threw me out. - For being a dyke.
- No, they don't know. - Yes, they do.
What the fuck is in there?
Sofía!
No! What are you doing? No!
Get out.
No!
Sofía, no!
- Let go! - No!
Son of a bitch. Paloma!
Open the door.
Hi, Maricarmen.
How are you? No.
She's in the shower.
Yes, yes, I will tell her.
Sofía...
Here.
I'm sorry.
Marta?
Mom...
My girl, my girl...
Did he suffer?
Yes.
- Are you sure? - He suffered, Paloma.
And did you suffer?
I'd have liked to see him suffer.
You don't have kids to throw them out.
You left.
He didn't let me choose.
And you ended up alone.
And you never liked being alone.
I wanted to look for you
but you know how he was.
His word was the law.
Not knowing where you were kept me awake.
If you were on the streets, if you were okay...
The anguish of having you here
was better than not knowing where you were.
I was scared but that fear transformed into anger.
We were guilty of abandonment.
We didn't talk about you but you were always there.
We didn't talk.
I know he missed you but he didn't dare to change his opinion.
So I left him.
Then he got ill and I couldn't leave him alone again.
You can't abandon someone twice.
The doctors said that the chemo went well but he didn't last long.
The guilt swallowed him.
Did he say anything about me?
I gave the doctor's note to Juana.
I bet you don't know what this is.
Your favorite.
I'm going to leave you.
Aren't you going to talk to me?
Hi.
- Hi. - Thanks for covering for me.
What's that?
I asked for a leave of absence.
I'm sorry.
It wasn't that.
I've been thinking about it for a while.
I needed a change.
Goodbye, Sofía.
Goodbyes are for the dead.
Get out.
C'mon, get out.
Get out!
Get...
out!
Get out!
Hi.
- Paloma, I'm sleeping. - Get the fuck out of here.
- What are you doing? - Get the fuck out of here.
All your things, here they are.
Stop.
You deserve better than me.
Stop, Paloma Get out.
I don't want to see you again.
C'mon Leave me alone, stop!
- Stop, you look crazy. - Get the fuck out.
- C'mon. - Touch me and I break your head.
I'm sorry.
Me too.
No, thanks, I don't feel like it.
I've been thinking...
and I think we should start again.
But this time properly, you know?
With custom furniture...
Fuck that shitty TV,
all these useless things...
What do you think?
We should have a child.
Then we would have to change the wall colors,
the furniture and everything else.
It's a good reason, right?
Hi.
Thank you.
- Who is it? - My mom.
- You're not going to pick it up? - No.
We won't say anything yet, right?
Of course not, I'm not pregnant yet.
Yes? Hello, what's up?
No, I don't know.
Yes, I'll tell her.
Don't you want to know who the donor is?
I don't care, it's semen.
I know.
But it's going to be inside you for 9 months.
And live in your house.
Can I help you?
Hi, love.
They said everything's fine.
Now we have to wait.
A few days.
Okay, kisses. Bye.
No, thanks.
What's wrong, Sofía?
- Did you talk to Pedro? - Yes.
The other day when I was with you.
So that thing at work wasn't a coincidence.
Mom?
- What did you tell him? - I don't know what you're saying.
- Yes, you know. - You will crease the...
- I don't care! - Shit!
Well, let's get to the point.
The thing is...
this dinner is to tell you that after trying really hard...
we've decided to separate.
Great.
Since we have wine, I'm going to make a toast.
While you've decided to separate, we are going to have a child.
Bravo. Bravissimo.
Let's toast to wrecks.
Some are older, some younger...
But all free to exercise
the unalienable right of wrecking our life.
I like the flat.
Thanks.
I have some things, if you want them.
Well, and Paloma's things.
What?
Don't you want the posters?
Do you have a crib?
Done?
- Yes, it's 1.53. - Okay.
Look!
But we don't know what it is yet.
Well, pink is unisex.
We'll talk about it in the notary.
Okay, perfect.
No, the deed will be ready in about two months.
Great. I'll see you tomorrow, Mariano.
Thank you. Bye.
- Great, huh? - Yes.
Let's grab a drink.
Sorry, I'm meeting a friend but I'll take a rain check, okay?
Okay.
- How are you? - Great. You?
Fine. Look.
- Can you? - Yes.
Okay, here I'll push it down myself.
That's everything, right?
With this we are finished.
