“At the Edge of the Abyss” An Addictive Film by Teresa Suarez
Do you have cream?
Yes, it’s in the bathroom.
Put something on. I don’t want Hanna or Carmen to see you like this.
Don’t take too long, darling.
Mat, bring the good stuff.
This bull wants to see some blood. Hello, there.
Come here, bull!
Olé! Olé!
This bull will catch you!
Olé! Olé!
Olé, bullfighter!
Stab me with your sword.
Bravo, Matador.
Bravo.
I love you.
You are the best bull.
You are the best.
I love your ass.
Thanks, honey. I want this to be your best bullfight.
Do you like it?
I like all of it.
Why did you do that, Lucía?
― Hit me, Matías! Hit me! ― No, Lucía.
Hit me, please. I deserve it.
Lucía, remember what your psychologist told you.
The hell with the psychologist!
Hit me. Hit me, please. I beg you.
Ah! This feels great.
Please, come.
There I go, honey.
You are wonderful.
I should go.
Please, don’t go.
Where is my other sock?
Why are you leaving? Where are you going?
To my house. It’s 4:00 a.m.
Exactly. Then, why don’t you stay here? Are you afraid of getting caught?
Don’t start with that, all right?
I’ve never asked you for anything.
I have practices tomorrow.
Get some sleep. You work tomorrow, right?
If you leave now, you won’t see me again.
Calm down, honey.
I’ll call you later, all right?
I swear you won’t see me again.
Go fuck yourself, asshole!
Good night.
Bye.
No, Carmen, I’ve told you a thousand times that I don’t like women.
Then, why did you have sex with me?
Why do women always say the same thing?
Listen, I’m gay.
You’re the only man I like. I swear.
Women are something special.
You are even more special, don’t you think?
― Kiss me. ― Mm-mm.
Kiss me. Come on, the last one.
Please, come here.
Come inside just a moment.
No, I’ll never go there again.
Look at that guy.
He’s a cutie.
He’s Matías. Lucia’s boyfriend.
I would be faithful to somebody like him.
That’s the only thing I don’t like about living with Lucía.
Having to see that asshole in my house all the time.
He treats her like shit.
I’m sure he is gay. You can tell.
In your dreams.
To you, everybody is gay!
I’ll talk to you tomorrow, all right?
Don’t you want to come inside?
We’ll go to Piti’s house, my neighbor.
She’s got cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy, anything you want.
She’s the best dealer.
No, I can’t. Tomorrow I have to be in Conciliation and Arbitration very early.
We’ll go to bed early.
Come on.
All right.
Oh, you’ve stayed for $10,000. They weren’t mine.
When are you going to have the operation on the pistello?
I don’t know. I wish I could do it tomorrow. But I have no money.
Let me see what it feels like.
I’m gonna have the liposuction done.
Well, you’re gonna be size 0 then.
Oh, thank God. I told her to ring three times.
Who is it?
Who else? Carmen.
Vieni qui.
― This is Gerardo. ― Ciao, bello.
Fine. And you?
You look great.
Hi, everybody.
― I’ll kill for a tequila. ― And a couple of lines too.
Hello. Let’s party now.
― Good morning. ― Good morning.
I don’t understand why you are like this.
You are the one who wants a divorce, right?
You cheated on me. Isn’t that enough?
Please don’t talk to me in English.
Look, why don’t we postpone the divorce deal for a month?
Just for a month, so that you think it over.
Abel! Abel!
― The dog ran away. Abel! ― Here it is, Mom.
― Hi, sweetie. ― Say hi to my mom.
Hi, Raquel, how are you?
Hello, dear, you are still here, son.
Mom, Hanna is saying hi to you.
It’s a miracle that you’ve come to this house.
Since you came back from Tel Aviv, you haven’t even called to say hi.
We’re going to sign the papers for the divorce.
If you had a child, none of this would be happening.
You don’t look good. Are you sick?
God, you look really bad. Think it over, Hanna.
Talk to the Rabbi.
Are you coming for lunch, honey?
I think so, Mom.
I’ll be waiting for you, dear. Take care.
― I love you. ― I love you too, Mom.
I love you.
Bye, dear. I’ll be waiting for you, honey.
Shall we go?
All right. Let’s wait for a month.
Thanks, honey. I really appreciate it.
Let’s have dinner together.
No, I don’t want to see you for a month.
I should be going to the shop.
And then I have therapy.
Are you gonna be staying at Lucía’s house?
Yes. Why?
Why don’t you stay at your parents’ house?
I don’t think Lucía is good for you right now.
Please. I’ll be fine.
Take care. Call me if you need anything.
Thank you. I should be going.
Wait! Wait!
I’d like to make one last wish.
All right. What is your last wish?
I want a “Pau Pau”.
What’s a Pau Pau?
Fresh fruit juice.
Cut!
Not like that.
You should convince them that you really want a Pau Pau.
Why are we using these juices if we gave you bigger ones?
Production!
Do we have the product?
Alejandro, we’ve given you the Pau Paus a week ago.
Do we have the Pau Paus?
Yes, sir. Give me a moment, please.
Lucía hasn’t arrived yet. She’s got the Pau Paus.
Did you call her home?
Yes, she must have left already.
I get the answering machine in her house.
And I left her like 20 messages in her cell phone.
Unbelievable. Let me call her.
Lucía, are you there? Answer the phone please.
I’ve been calling you since 6:00 a.m., and it’s already 10:00.
The client is here. Everybody is here, except you.
And we don’t have the product.
Lucía, you are so irresponsible.
But it’s my fault, because I hired you.
Come here!
Hey! Where are you going?
I can’t hear you!
Come here! Fine, and you?
― Action! ― Wait! Wait!
I’d like to make one last wish.
All right, what is your last…?
Cut!
What’s going on here?
Who’s making that noise?
Hurry up! Let’s do it one more time.
I ate shrimps and I got intoxicated.
I ended up in the hospital.
You are intoxicated because of the other stuff.
Your breath stinks, Lucía.
I can get a certificate from my doctor if you want.
So that you believe me.
You can’t stop lying.
Get out of my sight before I ask for a drug test.
You know what, Lucía?
You are this close from falling off a cliff.
This Japanese guy is a genius.
He uses other people’s art to create his own.
When this bed was exhibited for the first time,
he lay down on the bed, and he was arrested for doing that.
Is that supposed to be funny?
― Then what? ― What do you mean?
This is his bedroom.
The photograph taken by his friend when he was arrested.
I should get going.
Chichifo gets angry, and then I have to put up with him.
― No! No! ― Yes.
Come with me to see his collection. I heard there are some awesome pieces.
All right.
Can I have a another line?
― This is great. ― Yes, I’m feeling it.
This is the best quality you can get.
You all look like shit.
Move, asshole!
Fuck yourself!
This is Matías’s cell phone. Leave a message after the tone.
Matías, you can go fuck yourself. End of our story.
The only thing I want is the 1,000 pesos you owe me.
So I’ll go to your house and wait for you until you get there.
Bye.
No! No!
I told you not to do it!
To the ground.
If you come close, I’ll shoot!
Is this art?
Of course.
This piece is worth $25,000 dollars. It’s in Christie’s catalogue.
This is a good one.
Of course. It was made by James Fond. He’s the best. It’s a piece of art.
Look at this one. It’s beautiful.
You can see the lights on or off.
They are the echo of loss and renaissance.
It’s worth $250,000 dollars.
Just like that.
Are you crazy? These extensions are $20 pesos downtown.
You should show your pieces. It’s not that difficult.
I’m working on it.
But first I want to do it abroad.
Mexico is not a good place for this.
Hello.
Hi, Lucía.
Fine. And you?
No.
Where are you?
I tried hard to be a good wife.
I cooked,
but he was never hungry.
Then I found out that he gave the food to the dog next door
or flushed it down the toilet.
We never talked about anything.
He was always too busy.
Did you feel hurt? How did you react?
I rejected him.
I didn’t want him to touch me, and he insisted.
And I felt the only thing he wanted was to get me pregnant
so that he could please his mother.
I was never going to get pregnant.
I was taking contraceptives.
I imagine Abraham didn’t know that you were taking them.
No, of course not.
I still laugh when I remember him asking me
if I had my period.
Excuse me. I have to take this call.
Don’t answer. We are in therapy.
It’s the last time.
It’s an important call.
About my job.
― Hello. ― Hi.
Hello, Carmen.
You’re not gonna believe this. Lucía shot some windshield washer kid.
No kidding.
― And, where is she? ― At the police station.
Lucía’s dad’s lawyer is taking care of it.
He paid the kid’s family,
and they dropped the charges.
― Did he die? ― No, no.
Luckily, he didn’t die. But he’s not very good.
That’s terrible!
Are you coming?
― Are you alone? ― I’m with my friend Manuela.
And, where are you?
At the end of the hallway, in a small room.
― I’m on my way. ― All right. Bye.
I don’t like coming to these places. I should be going.
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
There are your friends.
Thanks for everything, sir.
Carmen.
Let’s go.
What did you take?
Nothing.
Just some tequilas.
A vodka, and some coke.
You mixed it up. You should drink either tequila or vodka.
Otherwise you feel like shit.
It drives you crazy.
I swear I’ll never drink again.
Do you want some orange juice?
I feel awful, like never before.
I only remember that I left the apartment
I got into the car and…
I don’t know. I don’t remember anything else.
We all have lapses from time to time.
But you always excuse yourself with that.
Why don’t you ask your dad to send you to a rehabilitation clinic?
Moisés’ sister went to one and she’s been on the wagon for two years now.
No, I can do it.
I mean it. My dad will kill me.
I don’t understand why you are so violent.
What happened today was unacceptable.
You exposed yourself too much.
I can’t get you out of trouble all the time.
I want you to return me all the guns I gave you.
What’s wrong with you?
Ever since your mom passed away, you do everything you can to hurt me.
Why don’t you find a man who can take care of you?
You can move to Miami. The house is empty there.
I don’t want any more problems, Lucía.
Forgive me, Dad.
I swear to you that it won’t happen again.
I promise you.
You solve everything crying.
I hope you keep your promise!
Because I won’t help you next time.
Dad, forgive me! I will change. I won’t give you more trouble.
All right.
I believe you this time.
I’ll change, you’ll see.
I love you.
Go get some sleep.
I have to take care of some important business.
Good afternoon.
I’m looking for a Patek Philippe watch.
The square model, with diamonds around.
We had it, but it’s sold out now.
What a shame!
It was also sold out in Paris.
We’ll be receiving more in two weeks, I can put one aside for you.
Do you want me to leave a deposit?
No, it’s not necessary.
Just leave me your phone number, I’ll call you as soon as we get them.
I’ll be waiting for your call.
“I Don’t Remember What I Did” “You Can Bring Yourself Back Up”
Why don’t you answer?
Hello? Hello?
Why didn’t you answer?
I’m sorry, I didn’t hear it.
Is that your wedding?
Yes.
You’re such a masochist.
Why are you watching it?
I’m very confused. I don’t know what to do.
If I should get a divorce or not.
Do you love Abraham?
I don’t know. He’s such a good guy.
Yes, Mario, the doorman, is also a good guy.
But I won’t marry him just because of that.
Love is something else.
What is love?
Love is like a drug.
Love is a prison. It’s a closet.
No, honey. Love is sex.
I didn’t like sex with Abraham.
He was very rude.
Matías is great in that sense.
I’m fed up with men.
I want to be all right, calm.
Drink a lot of water, work out, be at peace.
Who’s that?
Doña Raquel, my mother in law.
― Get the divorce. ― You are terrible!
I’m so glad you brought Chichifo. He’s such a cutie.
I feel awful.
I’ve been running around like a mad dog all day long.
I don’t know whether to buy shoes or ecstasy.
Tonight there will be an excellent performance in El Colmillo
and I don’t want to go like this.
I’m sure Piti will give you something.
She’s very happy about her party.
Hey, what if I sell you the article and you sell it for a piece of art?
You know what? You didn’t understand anything.
Miss Martin. It’s very nice to see you.
I left you many messages, and you haven’t returned any of my calls.
I needed to talk to one of you.
What happened?
I don’t like telling you this.
But all the neighbors are very upset.
We are against everything you do.
You and the neighbor from apartment 501 have violated all the rules of conduct here.
I don’t think so. You are overreacting.
What rules?
These ones.
They’re on this board. Everyone can read them here.
This is ridiculous.
We’re young. Try to understand.
Do you hear that? Do you hear it?
It’s like this every day.
I have kids and I won’t allow them to follow your bad habits.
Really?
And why don’t you move to Tepoztlan?
There is a lot of pollution here.
Listen, Miss, I know that you do cocaine.
That’s why you act so strange.
And I think that you fuck yourself with your finger.
Have some respect!
Don’t yell at me!
She is a man and will beat the hell out of you.
Let’s go, honey.
This is impossible. We can’t do anything now.
I’ve just argued with Mr. Atala.
He said, “I know you do cocaine”.
What the hell does he care?
We need to be careful.
One day he’ll call the police.
The hell with that. He’s such a loser.
Do you want tequila?
I want one. Thank you.
I don’t.
I haven’t drunk in two months.
Cheers!
Congratulations, Lucía!
― Are you hungry? ― No.
“Selfish”
What are these “selfish” signs for?
For an ad for men’s lotion.
God.
How can they name a lotion like that?
No wonder they act very selfish then.
They should make one called “motherfuckers”.
I’m gonna make a very feminine lotion called “fucking faggots”.
Hey, by the way, the other day, I saw Matías.
I don’t want to know anything about him.
I just want the $1,000 he owes me.
The hell with the $1,000. Just give him Carreño’s good manners’ handbook.
No, with $1,000 you pay two sessions of therapy.
Matías is not for you, you need a real man.
You’re a great woman.
I’m sure that one day I’ll find my soulmate.
I think that my soulmate disappeared from this planet already.
I think that there are two types of people in this life:
soulmates and extorters.
I’m a soulmate.
I was a soulmate, but my relationship with Hugo made me an extorter.
Matías is like my dad.
He’s such an extorter.
I don’t know what I am.
Every time I like someone, he’s gay.
Why don’t you see a psychologist?
You’ll understand a lot of things.
I don’t need therapy.
I don’t care if I sat on my pacifier or not when I was a child.
I’m an artist.
This is my therapy.
It has the shape of a man.
It can be a man or a woman.
It’s love.
You fall in love with a person, it doesn’t matter what sex they are.
What a beautiful image.
I fall for both.
I love cocks.
That word doesn’t sound very nice.
I don’t like it either.
Then don’t listen to it.
Just feel it.
I love it. It’s the best thing in life.
To me, hand five is my destiny.
― What’s that? ― My hand and my five fingers.
Men are a necessary evil.
If I liked women, my life would be much easier.
Do you still like Gerardo?
Yes.
But every time I see him kissing another guy…
I pretend not to.
By the way, Piti’s birthday is on Friday, and she’ll give a party.
Do you want to come?
― How old will she be? ― Thirty-three.
Jesus Christ’s age.
Is the party for gays?
Kind of.
There’ll be bisexuals too.
Why don’t you accept that the party is only for gays?
― I’ll go. I’ve never been to a party like that. ― You won’t like it.
You need to tell that piece of shit of Mr. Atala.
I’m sure he’ll call the police.
He can call them.
The President’s son will be there.
Is he gay?
Of course.
I’ll get it.
Are you going to Piti’s party?
No.
Everyone will be doing coke, and I don’t want to do it.
I mean it. Why don’t you believe me?
I believe you.
I’m trying to quit smoking, but I’m going crazy.
It’s not the same.
Yes, all right. No, I can’t stand it. Here’s Lucía. Bye.
Hi.
Hi. How are you?
Fine. And you?
I’m doing very well.
Do you want to see me?
Yes.
I’m not gonna pay for maintenance.
Instead of being so nosy, you should fix the elevator.
Piti, how are you?
Fine. And you?
How are you, Bella?
Are you going away?
No.
Carmen didn’t tell you?
She let me use the extra room in her apartment to store some stuff.
I’m gonna send these clothes to Italy. Sardinia.
Excuse me, I should get going.
My birthday is on Friday.
I’m giving a party.
You should come with Matías.
I’ll try to be there.
If not, happy birthday.
Bye.
You look awesome!
Did you lose weight? You are on a diet, right?
“Depression”
I can’t concentrate if you do that.
You’re cheating.
Do you want something to drink?
Do you want a beer?
No, I’ll have a diet coke.
Have a beer.
No, I’m fine.
A beer and a diet coke.
Matías.
How are you? How’s everything?
Good, very good.
Why didn’t you come on Sunday? Julio’s bullfight was awesome.
I don’t like it. He’s a show-off.
Bullfights are something else.
Hi, Cristina.
How are all the arrangements?
Lucía, a friend.
Gabriel, an old friend of mine.
This guy used to copy everything from my books at school.
Nice to meet you.
We’ll keep on playing.
Are you inviting me to your wedding?
I haven’t proposed to her yet.
Right, honey?
No.
I’ll see you later.
Bye.
― It’s your turn. ― No, it’s yours.
I don’t want to play anymore.
You are seeing someone else.
Don’t start with that again.
― Do you love me? ― Of course I do.
Let’s go to my place.
I’ll invite you with some coke
and I’ll suck your little pussy.
I want to make love to you like never before.
Do you want to go?
All right.
Hello.
Good evening, can I talk to Mrs. Romano?
Who’s calling?
I’m calling from Berger Jewelry.
This is she.
Mrs. Romano, your watch is here.
Thank you very much.
I’ll drop by tomorrow.
I’ll be waiting for you.
Bye.
Who are you?
I’m Sara Lee.
Who are you?
Hanna. Nice to meet you.
Have you tried my pies?
Yes, I love the carrot pie.
I’m baking one right now.
Do you want to try it?
Yes, of course.
My favorite one is the lemon pie.
At what temperature do you bake them?
One hour at 150 is enough.
After that they’re… soft…
and ready to be eaten away.
Hanna.
What do you want?
Do you have a cigarette?
You woke me up.
They’re in my bag.
Where’s your bag?
On the hanger.
Don’t mess everything up.
I can’t sleep.
I’m worried about Lucía.
I don’t think she’s doing good.
Give me a cigarette.
To tell you the truth, I see her doing better each day.
I know her better than you.
Where do you know her from after all?
From university.
We both studied Communications.
I always helped her with her homework.
I like her a lot, she’s very sincere.
Do you believe in dreams?
Of course.
I take note of all my dreams.
You discover who you are from your dreams.
Do you want some?
This powder is what makes the world go nuts.
Interpol, they’re all after cocaine.
How does it feel like?
No, I’m afraid. What if something happens to me?
Nothing will happen.
Listen, Freud used to inhale coke.
That’s something, right?
All right. I’ll try it.
But just once, to try it.
Don’t throw it away!
You need to inhale it.
Like this, watch me.
Inhale deep.
Very good.
Now on the other nostril.
My nose stings.
Is that normal?
Yes, you are gonna feel it pass through your throat.
I feel something bitter.
Exactly.
I need to go to the bathroom.
It’s fantastic, extraordinary.
You shit like hell.
You’re never hungry.
― I love it. ― I’ll be right back.
I love you, Lucía.
Do you really mean it?
Why don’t you believe me?
I don’t know.
You look so beautiful.
I love how you taste.
Your smell.
I adore you, Lucy.
How did you decide to become a woman?
You are born with it.
When I was a kid, I loved María Felix.
I loved dressing with my sister’s clothes.
And what I love the most is high heels.
What did your mom tell you?
You’re always worrying about moms.
She said, “Roberto, dress like a man and go to work”.
Not in this life! I’m Manuela.
Like it or not.
My mom is impossible.
That’s why I came to live here.
I once saw a great sign at a bar’s restroom which said:
“Obsession is the mother of all the vices,
but she’s a mother and you should respect her.”
Cheers!
I don’t feel anything. This coke doesn’t work with me.
Give me some more.
Come on, your nose looks like this.
Yes, but I feel very good.
The first time you don’t feel anything.
Have another line, come on.
Are you gonna invite Sammy and Serrano?
Of course, they’re great.
I don’t know what I want.
I want to do something.
Let’s go to a bar.
I’ll have another line.
It’s good, isn’t it?
It’s a shame what happened to Lady Di.
She was wonderful.
I went to her wedding with Abraham.
It’s terrible.
She was also betrayed just like me.
All men are a piece of shit.
It can’t be. Why are they all the same?
I think it already hit her now.
What happened to her now? She’s messed up.
Abraham, I miss you so much.
Where is he? I want to talk to him.
I feel awful. I’m going to die.
Hanna, Hanna.
Hurry, we need to take her to the shower.
Not in my house, please.
Don’t be like that. She’ll be all right.
I’ve been like this many times.
Hanna, Hanna.
Hanna, do you hear me?
Put it on her pussy.
It’s ice, it’s very good.
You do have experience on this.
Hanna!
What happened?
― Where am I? ― Here, with us.
Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.
Do you think that six bottles of vodka will be enough?
Ten, just in case. It’s better to have spare drinks.
You are a genius. I adore you. Your party will be great.
We also have to take tequilas.
I’ve never seen anybody having beer at a market.
I like to be the first one.
Cheers.
Aren’t you buying any food?
Nobody eats anything. Everybody is taking coke.
In that kind of party, nobody eats anything.
Why don’t we cook bucatini a la putanesca.
No, let’s buy some French fries.
I’ll go fetch some beers.
You’re not the first one who doesn’t eat anything, right, beautiful?
I’ve told you a thousand times not to call me that.
What do people think when they see us together?
We look like husband and wife. We are always quarrelling.
I don’t think so. They may think:
Look at that woman, she’s with her hairdresser.
Yes, sure.
Hello.
Good afternoon.
Mission accomplished.
I’ve come to pick up my watch.
I’ve got it in the vault. I’ll be right back.
Here it is.
It’s beautiful.
It’s gonna look great on you.
Thanks.
Let me help you.
I looked for it all over.
― I’ll take it. ― Do you need a receipt?
No.
You look much better without makeup.
You are beautiful.
You should learn to take advantage of that.
I can help you if you want.
Really? I’d love that, Miss.
Don’t be so formal. Call me Sandra.
Let’s have lunch together tomorrow. Can you make it?
Yes, sure.
Let’s get going. I’m starving.
Just a moment, please.
I’ll see you tomorrow around 2:00, all right?
Thanks a lot.
Thank you, Sandra.
See you tomorrow.
Did you see how beautiful she is?
Oh, please, don’t exaggerate.
Besides, you know I don’t like women.
Me neither, but I appreciate what is beautiful.
I look at other women, and that doesn’t mean anything.
All right. But don’t get mad.
I need to tell you something about Matías.
He licked my ass, and it was great.
I adore him.
Don’t take this wrong, but, did you drink anything?
No, I always keep my promises.
You are happy, right?
I really like him. I adore him.
He’ll come to the movies with us.
I want to be all right with Eugenio.
If you are not fine with yourself, you won’t be all right with anybody.
Besides, I think you have forgiven Eugenio too many times.
Eugenio has changed a lot.
Eugenio will never change.
Turn off that cell phone.
It’s Matías.
Great. He already stood you up.
Perhaps he’s at the wrong movie theater.
He’s got no limits.
Where are you going?
The cabaret hasn’t opened yet.
I’m going to the bathroom.
Shut up.
Leave him alone, honey.
Chicuil.
Yes.
Make sure to paint the sides.
All right.
Your cell phone is ringing.
No, give it to me, I’ll take it.
Hi.
Matías.
Hi.
You could have told me that you weren’t coming to the movies.
It’s been two days, and you haven’t even called me.
Why do you treat me like this?
Why do you tell me that you love me?
Why do you lie to me?
Don’t yell at me. I’m not your employee.
I never lied to you. I’m just too busy.
I’ll call you later. I’m in a meeting with my agent.
I just want my $1,000 back. I gave them to you three months ago.
Calm down. Don’t yell at me.
I’ll pay you back with interest.
I’ll call you later.
Bye.
Bitch.
I’m not kidding. I won’t take more of your shit, Matías.
Hey!
― Lucía, the director is looking for you. ― I’m going.
Lucía, where were you?
I need you here, in the set.
In France, the art directors never leave the set.
Nor in Mexico, sir. I was in the bathroom.
All right. We have to take all those signs that are in the take. All of them.
Sure. Chicuil.
Set!
Action!
Selfish!
We have so much in common.
I always think about him, and he always thinks about me.
Selfish!
Don’t you have more coke, bitch?
This is all I’ve got, I swear.
Let’s see if you tell us the truth now.
I already told you everything I know.
Don’t hit me anymore, please.
Don’t take me for an idiot.
Tell me who sells you the drugs.
Was he coming to your party?
We’ll take care of everybody.
The man who gave me the coke is in jail.
I haven’t purchased coke in a year.
Stop lying, bitch.
I’m gonna beat your fucking head to see if you can remember something.
All right.
Raúl gave it to me.
Come on.
Where are you taking me?
Who is it?
Open up.
What’s wrong? Can’t you wait for a second?
You won’t believe it.
You woke me up.
Piti was arrested.
We are gonna be arrested too.
Calm down, don’t panic, Carmen.
What can they do to us?
They need evidence.
I don’t care if they search my house.
They were looking for Piti.
They want the names of the sellers.
Not our names.
You look so manly when you talk like that.
You wish. He looks more like a rich lady.
Don’t start with that. I’m not the mood.
Stop quarrelling.
You should’ve seen Piti’s face.
The worst part is that we have no more stuff.
Listen. We’ll start with some uneven layers
so that you can have some movement here, feel very free.
And down here, I’m gonna keep the weight.
But before, I’m gonna cut the ends.
All right, but don’t cut too much. I want to let it grow.
Of course.
Do you want some?
What are you having?
Tequila.
No, thanks.
Come on. Have a sip.
Wow. You do have all the stuff here.
This is great. It’s the best stuff I’ve tried in years.
It’s from Colombia.
Try it.
No, thanks.
I’m not taking anything anymore.
I don’t take too much of this either.
Only when I work and in parties.
Listen, I try to take care of myself.
You’re gonna look great.
Are you still going out with the bullfighter? Olé!
I’m not very sure about this.
Do you mind if we do this some other day?
Honey, you are so fickle.
I’ll be right back. I’m going to the bathroom.
You are great.
It’s been a while since I laughed this much.
I feel like I’ve known you forever.
You are wonderful.
I do what I can.
Are you happy?
Sometimes I’m not.
Sometimes I am.
You must have a lot of time to go to parties and meet people.
I’m sick of that.
Now I’m learning to enjoy being by myself.
Unless I find someone special to share my time with.
Is the meat tender?
It’s delicious. Do you want some?
Yes.
This is Matías’s cell phone. Leave your message after the tone. Bye.
Matías. Matías, I need to talk to you.
Call me. I’m at the set. Bye.
What are you doing there?
I lost a lens.
Oh, these directors are so demanding.
Thank God I’m always prepared.
Listen. The director asked for you a while ago.
I’m leaving now.
I’m gonna look for Matías.
He will hear me this time.
Bitch, you took all my coke and my tequila.
Weren’t you clean now?
Oh, there was just a little left.
And don’t treat me like that, misogynist.
Hey, this is not about your vagina, bitch.
Are you coming from a party?
No, I was working on the shooting of an ad.
It must be a cool job, right?
I have a friend who works on Televisa. He knows all the artists.
― Are you an artist? ― No, thank God.
Listen, do you want some extra money?
Of course, what a question.
Do you know were I can get coke?
I think I can’t help you with that.
I’m not into that.
It’s very dangerous.
You shouldn’t be into that either.
Come on. I’ll give you $1,000 pesos.
I have a brother-in-law that could get you some.
Do you want to go see him?
Of course.
What a beautiful painting.
Yes. Rubens.
María de Meiches asked Rubens to paint this picture of her
because she wanted to leave a good impression for posterity,
so she asked to be painted while she was taking classes.
This is Mercury, Apollo, Minerva, and this is her.
They’re teaching her Reading, Music and Eloquence.
And those are the three graces.
They’re offering her their beauty.
It seems like they’re looking at us.
They’re probably watching you.
They must be contemplating your beauty.
More wine?
Yes, please.
I’m very hot.
Do you want me to turn on the air conditioning?
No, thanks.
Thanks.
― Cheers. ― Cheers.
You must look beautiful with your hair up.
Let me see it. Put your hair up.
You are beautiful.
Your eyes are incredible.
Sandra, what are you doing?
I was telling her a secret.
Do you think I’m stupid?
I don’t know anybody who tells secrets in an empty room.
Secrets are told where there are other people.
You were kissing her.
Octavio, I swear…
Please, don’t swear anymore.
This is the second time you cheat on me with a woman.
That lesbian will listen to me.
Don’t call her that.
Don’t you dare touch her.
I want her out of my house.
This is also my house.
You’re forgetting that we are married and everything here belongs to both of us.
Really? I’m gonna press charges for adultery.
You’ll end up in the street.
What are you taking about? You’ve been cheating on me for 10 years.
Listen, I’m not gonna discuss this in front of people I don’t know.
I’ll be at the office.
Please, don’t pay attention to him.
He’s always bragging, but he never does anything.
I should get going.
No, please, wait.
Hanna. I’ll take you home.
I’ll call a radio taxi.
No way, I’ll take you home.
Yes, shit.
Let’s sing it again. I want to learn it well.
Hey, play it again.
She’s gonna sing and dance.
I have never had such a great time.
This song gets to my heart.
No! No!
More drinks.
No! No!
How do you feel?
Very happy to be in London.
What do you want to tell people with this piece?
I’ve always been attracted to the idea of the spiral,
in the sense that in the contemporary culture, there is a tendency
towards perceiving things in a linear way.
I’ve always wanted to change that perception.
Thanks.
Hi.
― Carmen. This is Piti. ― No, she doesn’t live here.
― Why are you calling here? ― Wait. Don’t hang up.
Don’t worry. Everything is fine now.
I’m just calling you because I want to ask you a huge favor.
To take care of my cat.
It’s in the empty room you lent me.
I’ll go there as soon as I get out of here.
Yes, sure. But don’t mention my name.
I have nothing to do with anything. I beg you.
Bye.
Matías.
I finally found you.
I was looking for you.
I don’t want to hear any more lies.
― I want my $1,000. ― I’ll pay them back.
You are a piece of shit.
Lucía, Lucía.
I thought you were dead.
I fell asleep.
Give me a towel, please.
I want to tell you something, but you can’t tell anyone.
Did you kill Abraham?
No, nothing like that.
What happened? Tell me!
I kissed another woman.
It was something I didn’t want to do, you know?
I knew you liked women.
Why?
Because of the way you look at them.
It’s very obvious.
I think I’m in love.
That’s great, isn’t it?
I’d be nuts.
Enjoy it.
Life is very short.
There’s nothing wrong with liking women.
Are you lesbian, Hanna?
No, I’m not. A friend of mine is.
All right.
Do you know how a lesbian gets to her second date?
― No. ― In a moving truck.
Wow. How serious.
Why don’t you laugh?
It smells like alcohol here. Did you drink, Lucía?
Yes, a little bit.
Piti’s been arrested.
She called me this morning from jail.
― She’s fine. ― For drugs?
Of course, what else?
Hi.
I thought you weren’t coming.
Excuse me.
Why did you want to talk with me?
Hanna, I can’t stop thinking about you.
Sandra, this is all wrong.
I’m going through a crisis.
I might get together with Abraham again.
Do you want a drink?
Why do you do this to me? I’m being serious here.
Me too.
I want to be with you.
No.
What would people say?
I don’t want to see you anymore.
If it makes you happy, then it’s not bad.
I’m getting a divorce.
I wanted to tell you that I’ve waited all my life for you.
I’m in love with you.
You’re kidding me.
You don’t even know me.
I feel something very special for you, Hanna.
I know that you also feel the same.
Carmen, are you there? Pick it up.
Listen, I need something. Call me.
Lucía, this is Matías.
I’m going away for a week. I have many bullfights.
I wanted to say bye. I’ll call you once I get back.
Lucía, this is Matías.
I’m going away for a week. I have many bullfights.
I wanted to say bye. I’ll call you once I get back.
Hello?
Hi, is Matías there?
No, he’s not. Who’s calling?
Who are you?
I’m Cristina García Miranda. His girlfriend. Why?
Look, look, he’s coming out. Get down. He’s looking this way.
He’s with two other guys.
I think one of them is his dad. Follow them.
What a shame. We don’t even know whose party this is. We’d better leave.
This is gonna be such a surprise for Matías. Come on.
No, I don’t look good.
Bullshit. You look awesome.
There he is.
Abraham’s uncle is also here. I’ll have to say hi to him.
Don’t leave me alone. I’m very nervous.
I thought you didn’t drink anymore.
Just one drink to relax myself a little bit.
Just one, I mean it.
Hello.
I can’t believe it. You look awesome.
I wish. Hanna Berman, Eduardo Noriega.
Are you related to Salma Berman?
No, excuse me.
Who are you looking for?
Nobody.
I have something good here. Do you want to try it?
Yes.
Come with me.
How many more do you have?
Four, but I’ve got more at home.
Give them to me. I’ll sell them to Ramiro.
Then we won’t have enough for us.
Yes, we’ll go to your house for more.
It looks good.
It is very good.
They’re from Piti’s stash.
It’s good.
But it’s not very pure.
Bullshit. This is the best stuff.
He’s from security.
My God. They’re useless.
Let me see your tattoo.
It’s nice.
Did it hurt?
No.
I have another one in my back.
Guys, this is against moral rules.
You’re gonna have to come with us.
It’s not what you think. I was giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
He was not feeling very good.
They’re gonna take your statement at the police station.
All right, but don’t push me.
The police have just arrested Gerardo.
The police have arrested Gerardo.
We’re in real trouble.
― Calm down, honey. ― I’m gonna explode.
I’m leaving for Guadalajara. Let’s go to my place to get the suitcases.
Let’s go.
This country is incredible.
Why?
The judge who was gonna marry them was robbed.
They had to look for someone else.
This is very good.
Yes, it is.
This is just what I needed.
Good. Let’s go.
Maybe they’ve already married. We’ve been here for hours.
Who’s getting married?
Don’t you know?
Matías Ponce and Cristina García Miranda.
― What are you saying? ― What…?
When? Where?
Today. Today is the civil ceremony with their closest friends.
Tomorrow they’ll hold the religious ceremony.
What’s wrong?
I can’t believe it! Motherfucker!
I’ll be fine in a while.
Can I get you anything? A brandy?
No, tell Hanna to come here.
I pronounce you husband and wife.
I oppose this wedding!
You can’t do this to me. I’m gonna kill you.
Lucía, calm down.
I’ll take care of it.
Give me the gun, Lucía.
Why did you promise me eternal love? Tell me!
The one I love is you.
Bullshit. You don’t love anybody.
You used me.
What hurts me the most is what you’ve just said.
You’re a coward.
Once I get back from my honeymoon, we can talk.
You make me sick!
But above all, I feel pity for you.
Poor girl!
Let’s go, Hanna.
Who closed the door? It’s always open.
I’m sure it was that motherfucker Atala.
What shall we do now?
Let’s come back tomorrow.
No, let’s jump from the other building.
I’ve done it a thousand times.
Come with me. The doorwoman is a good friend of mine.
Hey, it’s very late. I’m sure she’s asleep by now.
― Who is it? ― It’s Carmen, Noemí.
Please, open up.
We’re not gonna make it. I won’t do it.
I can do it.
We can come back tomorrow. Don’t be stubborn.
I’m sure Gerardo already told everything to the police by now.
I’m leaving, but I won’t leave that fortune in there.
If you don’t risk anything in life, you won’t win anything either.
And I want to win.
There you go.
Are you gonna play some music?
I want to say bye to her with her favorite song.
What about her parents?
Won’t they feel bad with it?
It’s for her.
Hello.
I’m Lucía, and I’m an addict.
Hello.
I’m addicted to alcohol, drugs
and destructive relationships.
I think it’s a miracle that I’m alive.
Hello, Lucía.
