Is it real?
Yes.
It's said to be from Dad to Mum.
Why have you got it?
Your grandfather gave it to your grandmother before he left Spain.
She was pregnant with him...
...and never saw him again.
It's lovely.
I never thought I'd touch a real diamond.
- Can I try it on? - Yes.
- It's yours now, darling. - Really?
I don't know. Mama always wore it on this finger.
She said it wasn't real.
Your mama never heard that sound.
What is sound?
Sound of the sea.
When I was little...
one radio station played the sounds of the sea.
Giant waves.
The sounds scared me.
Why were you scared?
The bottom of the sea scared me.
All the creatures that live there.
Daddy?
Daddy ...
Did you know that when the owl dies...
it spits out the hair ball?
Ponytail does not fit in here. You look ketulta.
That scares the owls away.
I saw that movie too.
Don't you believe me?
Before, there was nothing here.
Just water. Salt water.
Do you know what that sounded like?
And the wind.
And both together?
What's that over there?
When did the symptoms start?
I don't know...months ago.
You can get dressed.
Couldn't you have come sooner?
It didn't hurt like this before.
A nurse is coming to take a blood sample.
Days.
Did not you answer?
Open and close the fist.
- Is that a new syringe? - Yes.
- Is it? - Yes, do not be afraid. It's new.
- Damn! - Sorry.
- Are you new? - Suoniasi is hard to find.
- Be careful. - Sorry.
Open and close the fist.
Damn!
- Enter the syringe. - Sorry.
Give me the syringe.
How do you learn that?
- Had eight hours without eating? - What do you eat?
- Is it called? - No.
Not Satan. I am no longer pistetä.
Let's go out.
Thank you.
Are quietly ripsesi, as sydämesikin.
Are quietly ripsesi, as sydämesikin ...
Why can not you leave?
What keeps you here?
- Did they tell you about the accident? - Did you hear something?
I only heard Luis.
- The boy farthest away... - Luis.
Luis is OK. I helped him further.
He told me he was sorry and asked to be forgiven...
...for stealing a watch.
Who do you think you are?
You're a disgrace. You know nothing. You come here and just lie to us.
- My son was no thief. - Let me explain...
Go! - Luis, tell him to go. Show a bit of respect for our son.
He asked after you.
Tell him I'll look in in the morning.
Hi.
- Dad, I tried to ring you. - I'm a bit late, sorry.
Get your bag. Are you right?
Thanks for the help, Lili. Five o'clock tomorrow, OK?
- Says 'bye to Lili. -'Bye!
Fish is yucky. We all eat the same.
What do you want then?
A hamburger and chips...
...and a chocolate milkshake.
Perfect.
And the lady?
Fried egg with sausage...
...and a potato omelette with cream and cinnamon.
A hamburger.
And look at all the chips.
Chips here and chips there.
And a big chocolate milkshake.
What will the young lady have?
- Fried eggs. - Fried eggs...
- With sausage. - Sausage...
And a potato omelette.
- Potato omelette... - with cream and cinnamon.
Everything as requested.
- What did you get for lunch? - Rice with chicken.
Daddy, did you know...
... that if a spacesuit got a hole in it, it'd explode?
Tomorow I'll ask Lili to give you something else.
- It isn't Lili who does the food. - So I'll tell Jung.
It's because of the gravity.
Stop kicking the table, Mateo.
Don't shove so much food into your mouth.
I've told you a thousand times. A thousand times.
Don't be disgusting. Put it back in your mouth.
Food in your mouth, Mateo. Once more!
Now!
- Do you want any more milk? - No.
Stop.
Leave the table and go to your room.
Your supposed to go to your room, not wash your plate.
What is it?
I've peed in my pants.
I'll wash them in the morning, Daddy.
Yes?
Wait a sec.
Can you turn that down?
Turn down the music and stop singing.
Yes, I'm here. Sorry about that.
Yes, the cemetery rang again.
No, they're building a gallery.
Right over Dad.
They've offered good money.
They're offering good money.
They fix up about the coffin and so forth.
It's a good offer.
There's nothing you can do to stop it.
We should have him cremated.
OK, we'll do it then.
Yes, OK, I'll call you.
OK, next week.
Look after yourself.
Talk to you later.
- Who's being cremated? - Nobody.
Don't lie.
I'll give you a Thai massage.
Who?
- If you don't tell me... - It's my dad!
We're cremating him.
- Which of you is most like your dad? - I don't know.
I don't remember how he looked.
Give me a kiss.
I'm going.
I gotta go.
Stop it. What the fuck are you doing?
Fucking pig!
She's sick in the head.
Where are the others? I met Chinaza on the way here.
- Where? - In El Fondo.
I sent that bugger back.
Where Ccheikh and Mamadou?
You gotta keep a check on them, otherwise we're stuffed.
I've said before.. they can't sell here. It's off limits.
Understand? Do you understand what I'm saying?
No one buys bugger all down there.
I also heard you've started dealing.
Boys, pack up, they're coming.
Mind the cops. It's time to blow.
I got something to show you. Home at my place.
Your place? Heavens...
It's stuck.
Can't open it.
Thanks, lge.
No sense in dropping the price if nobody wants them.
Are they all the same?
Most of them.
This month's been a disaster. You gotta talk to the Chinese.
Maybe I can get some umbrellas.
Fuck that. There's fuck-all rain around here.
Yeah, you're right there.
- Can you get the kid to sleep? - You'd think there was no one here.
A bit of quiet. I've got guests.
Who's done this? Is it you?
Who did this shit? Is this your handbag?
We're getting nowhere with pirate stuff for cash. It's now or never.
20 building workers at 1300 euro each...
That's a lot of money.
- I gotta think about that. - We're stuffed with all your ideas.
We're losing the contract with Mendoza.
The workers then? Will they go on making this shit?
I don't know what you're talking about but we gotta do something, and quickly.
I don't think I'll go on selling shit.
- The idiot must be good at something. - The idiot's done a lot more.
That's for your friend in the police.
Did you talk to Mendoza?
Yes. My brother has a contact in a building site in Badalona.
They need a lot of workers right now. How much money in it?
How much?
That's nothing to laugh about, hai. How much is it?
What's up with you? It's sensitive and I have family.
We aren't home in China.
I know.
Why did you come?
Because I love you.
You are a strong man.
An important man.
Do you love me?
Say that you love. I know that you love.
Did not you already get it? I speak like Chinese?
- I've said. - I can sell here, Uxbal.
Otherwise you better fucking-well learn African.
You better talk to your people too and get them to calm down.
That's what I pay you for.
Listen, Uxbal. We've known each other quite a while now.
But next time you stuff up, you're finished.
Got it?
Understood?
OK, let them know.
For October and November.
Next time they pay late, I put them inside.
Got it? Or shall I translate?
- Daddy's home. - Mummy picked us up barefoot.
I took my shoes off, too.
-Well? -Well what?
- Why weren't you home? - I can't be two places at once.
Mummy's making spaghetti.
Turn off the TV.
Sit down and eat.
Why is the shower on?
You don't have one ironed shirt. Good way to iron, eh?
Come and eat.
Lili rang, she was upset.
We agreed you should tell me if you fetched the children.
Sorry... a customer cancelled.
So call me on my mobile.
Will you have some omelette? It's with apple slices.
Just like the potato one, but softer and sweet.
- Aren't you eating? - No, I'm not hungry.
Miguel's daughter said they were out in the car yesterday...
...when a motorbike overtook them going like a goddamned maniac.
So Miguel yelled out: "Hope you die!"
Five minutes later they saw the motorbike lying on the road...
..and the rider was a pulp in a pool of blood.
Miguel was so shocked that he drove to the hospital.
I don't understand why. If someone did that to me...
Quiet. Marambra, that's enough.
If you could stop talking, maybe you'd get hungry.
Do me a favour...put that cigarette out.
And take your foot off the table when we're eating.
Do you want to stay and watch a movie after, Mummy?
It's late, sweetie.
If I can't talk, how do I get you not to include them at funerals?
That's why Mateo's still wetting his bed.
I haven't had them for ages.
That's not what they say. Just because you have custody...
Do you come to hit your kids or question them?
Mamma, the spaghetti tastes nothing.
- You've still nearly eaten it all up. - Off you go.
Go on. Let's at least eat in peace.
Best I leave.
See you darling. Enjoy yourself sweetie.
Marambra...
Sorry. You did good.
Did good? Yeah.
Fuck what you think of me. I'm not a dog.
You've turned the kids against me, no Marambra, you did that yourself.
It's like it pisses you off to see me happy.
Only with you is it hard to be myself and feel good..
Do you remember where you lived last time you felt good?
Do you want me to remind you?
You don't need to remind me.
Why are you laughing?
I laugh at anything. And I like to see people smile.
I'm happy if I'm happy and down if I'm down.
I just wanted......
I love you.
I said I loved you.
Yes, me too.
You wouldn't have some money on you?
Haven't you got any more? No.
Now that you're selling the grave. Who told you that?
Tito. When did you talk to him?
Please don't start. I gave him a massage. He had a backache.
It's not a grave, it's a niche.
But...
No one told me I was obliged to fast.
And...
...it might be a technical error.
No, I'll complain. Fasting is just a formality.
How's it coming along? Excuse me?
How...
I've gotta know what happened.
It depends on how your body reacts to chemotherapy.
In your case it's gone a long time-
and it has metatasted from the prostate to the skeleton and liver.
Which means...
But how long? Roughly how long?
With medical treatment you can keep your lifestyle...
...for a couple of months.
Months?
Daddy, I've learnt to do a trick.
Think of a country that starts with D.
Daddy, look at me.
Ready? Yes.
Then think of an animal that starts with L.
Hippopotamus doesn't start with L.
You thought of leeches in Denmark.
How did you know that?
Daddy, how do you spell "beautiful"?
-Like it sounds. -With an i?
Biutiful.
No, that's OK, don't be scared.
Just fetch the kids and take them home.
I don't know.
Til i get out. In a couple of days, probably.
It's getting tough.
We close down the handbags and copy movies.
You were right.
The building side is lucrative.
The building workers can keep going at Mendoza's.
Pay the ones we agreed on.
You won't regret it We're helping them.
And it's safer for us. There's a lot of money to be made.
Uxbal asked me for money for the stoves in the warehouse.
I don't want anyone to freeze in the cellar.
OK, I'll see what I can do. Where are you going?
I've got to go home.
Are you going to fight about a nigger?
How much was the bail?
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
Forget it. I'll take it from the money they give us for Dad's niche.
Has it been fixed up?
We just gotta fill in some forms from the cemetery and we get the money.
But first we gotta cremate him. After that we can do what we want.
We can bury him with Mum's ashes and save money.
Look at these things.
Careful, they're Dad's papers.
How's it going with the Chinese on the building site?
Mendoza is totally crapped off.
Most of them know nothing about building.
None of them speak Spanish and they all look the same.
Have you told Marambra about the cemetery?
No.
She rang me a while ago. She rang me looking for you, or something.
But I didn't say anything to her. I haven't seen her for ages.
Uxbal?
Take this.
That's not necessary. I gotta know what my son said.
The day before the accident we had a row.
That was the last I...
Your son went off peacefully. He was scared, so I helped him.
He talked about your watch and where he'd hidden it.
Where?
Behind a leg of his bed.
Yes.
I'm very sorry. Really.
Who is it? It's me.
I expected you tomorrow I was in the area and...
Come in.
Thanks for the help with the kids I was thinking I could take them now...
Quiet.
The kids are asleep. What did you tell them?
That you were at your brother's. Something about your work..
I'll pick them up in the morning before they go to school, OK?
You're welcome to stay.
I can put on coffee or tea.
There's wine, too.
Don't look at me like that. I haven't started drinking.
I opened it for a friend. Remember my friend Laura?
Cheers.
Tack.
Did they hurt you? No, I'm OK.
Ana told me about something she dreamt.
You had come home to the flat and the bedroom was full of sand.
As the dune, which stretched up to the ceiling.
- You dig up the initiative ... - I'm leaving.
I asked her where Mateo was.
She said she didn't know.
But she believed he was buried under the sand.
Why are you going?
Stay.
I think you'll see me differently.
I don't think it's a good idea.
We both know what will happen. There's room for everyone here.
From the kitchen you get a glimpse of the sea.
We can have breakfast together like we used to.
I can make toast for you...
- Be quiet a moment. - The children need me.
The can't wake up to a new father every weekend.
You always come out with that crap.
It's not just about the kids. I need you.
I haven't had a relapse in five months.
Give me a chance, darling.
You've said that a hundred times.
I haven't had a turn for ages. It's different now, I promise.
Are you taking those tablets?
You got me to stop taking them so I could breastfeed Mateo.
You're obsessed with those damned pills.
The doctor said you had to...
The doctor says anything to get rid of me.
None of that shit is going to cure my depression.
I'm trying with a lightbox now. With a what?
A lightbox. It's terrific.
And much cheaper than medicine. Can I show you?
You see?
It really is terrific.
I started a couple of months ago.
I feel better than ever. But not like before.
It's different now. I feel normal.
Like everyone else.
No, stop it Marambra.
No, cut it out...
Stop.
It's OK.
You're really tired.
- Besides, I'm getting old. - No...no...what are you talking about?
That's me. At the police station...
...couldn't I stop thinking...
...about coming back to you and the kids again.
The kids and I need...
Do you remember the time we fucked in the little cloakroom?
I'd just come to Barcelona and you greeted me at the drycleaners
You took me in the cloakroom.
The owner caught us...
Up you get!
It's six-thirty. There's bread and tea out there.
Get moving!
I'm always getting into all kinds of crap.
There are four underage minors. I don't pay in advance.
If we get inspected, where will I hide so many damned Chinese?
It's our only condition, Mendoza.
I don't pay a cent til I know I've got something
That's how we always do it. Right, Uxbal?
A week on trial.
Half of them are sick and frozen.
They've never even seen a drill.
It doesn't help cut costs.
The costs?
OK.
Then you can go and hire unionised construction workers.
When you've worked it out, ring me.
- When do you need the money? - A week from today.
Stop looking like a scared Chinaman.. I'll pay for next week.
But then I'll have the papers latest on Friday.
Ok, OK.
That's it.
How long are we here?
I do not know. A couple of days.
Can I invite Lili?
This press. I can not carry this.
Horrible smell.
I throw the fish away? It has been thawed 3O times.
Do not touch the fridge barefoot. Especially when the floor is wet.
Electricity travels at random.
Stairs are heavy.
Neighbor Emma thinner comfortable levels.
I know that the stomach was cut.
The doctor put a new pin hole in it.
My God!
Too bad the electricity went. I bought ice cream.
Is familiar with the mango? Needless to chocolate.
Ana, get spoons.
I just bought you piparijätskiä.
Melted. - It's better that way.
Nami.
Here.
Chocolate?
Do not pig telecommunications, son.
On Anas birthday... could the four of us go to the country?
Only at the weekend.
- Sure. Where to? - Dunno.
The Pyrenees. The kids have never seen snow.
They've never been out of this part of town.
We can camp.
No, I'd rather have a dog, a little dog
No, darling. They poo all day and cost a fortune.
Travelling's much more fun. Give me a bit.
I gotta taste it.
- What are you doing, Marambra? - Do you want to taste it?
Use your spoon. Don't do that... You're disgusting.
-Good, eh? -Wanna try?
Do it.
Stick your hand in.
Once more.
-Isn't that great? -Stop it.
What are you grumbling about? Or don't you remember when you proposed to me?
What'd he do?
If you're gonna tell the story tell about the look you gave me.
You and your look. I hadn't seen you yet.
- Hadn't you ever seen me? - I'm telling this, not you.
The day I met your dad at a party he said...
...that I had the most beautiful nose he had ever seen.
And obviously I believed him.
Then he took my hand to read my future.
He said that I'd get married to a completely hopeless man...
...but that I'd be truly loved.
Who knows how many birds he'd used that on, but it worked with me.
He said that if I let go of his hand it wouldn't come true.
And straightaway, before I knew what was happening...
...he pulled my hand towards his nose...
...and shoved my finger up his nostril.
He dug out a booger and lay it in my hand...
...and said that I'd always have part of him with me.
A black hairy piece of snot. It was disgusting.
So what are you whining about?
It's not true. Would you believe I'd do something like that?
Whadda you want?
Have you come to beg forgiveness?
Money? Don't give me any frigging money.
Say sorry to them too.
Just seeing you... if you hadn't had kids I'd have killed you.
They knew what they were doing.
They were illegals and they pushed drugs.
Ekweme and the others knew they couldn't be here.
The police won't allow it.
Understand?
Take the fucking money.
Me? What'll I do with my kid?
Dunno. Dunno.
Here, drink this.
How are things with your wife?
OK. Better.
- And the children? - The kids are fine.
And you?
You're dying.
Looks like it.
Spit.
How's life looking?
Are you prepared to leave it?
Yes, I think so. I'm working on it.
You think so? You've got to be sure.
Get your life in order. Leave nothing undone.
I don't want to die, Bea.
I'm afraid to leave the kids in the lurch.
Do you believe that it's you who looks after the children?
Don't be naive, Uxbal. The Universe looks after them.
Yes, but the universe doesn't pay the rent.
When I was Ana's age...
...my mum died. I scarcely remember her.
My dad died without me ever meeting him.
That won't happen with my kids.
Tell them. Tell them everything.
We know the dead'll never be in peace if they're in debt to the living.
Why is this happening to me? Is it punishment?
You can give up and let go...
...or hang on like stupid people do.
It's a long, strenuous journey, Uxbal.
Death is not the end, you know that.
I won't die, Bea.
No.
Yes, you will die.
I see it and there's nothing I can do.
Put your life in order, Uxbal. That's all that matters.
Chemo's poison.
What did you have for breakfast?
Milk coffee.
You've always been a handsome boy.
Remember what I said the day we met?
That we got our free gift...
...so we'll pass it on.
Here.
When it's necessary, give them to the children.
-What is it? -For protection.
When you leave them...
...give them one each.
He said it felt like a sea of mud inside him.
And his eyes felt like jelly...
...and his hair burnt.
