Alemania (2023) Movie Script
Attention, squad!
Line up!
There they come.
Attention, squad!
Present arms!
Ladislao, are you there?
Right next to you, Camila.
Shoulder arms!
Aim!
Fire!
Ladislao!
Attention, squad!
Shoulder arms! Aim!
Fire!
I said, "Fire!"
Fire!
So intense.
So intense.
I'm never watching it again.
Careful, Lo!
It's beautiful.
- But it's too sad.
- Yes.
The quality went down.
- What?
- It used to be moister.
It's drier now, it's more...
You're so whiny.
That's gross.
Stop it.
- It's your turn.
- I know.
You're so lucky.
You totally got me.
Let's play another hand.
Feel like losing again, Gran?
Your luck just ran out.
I'll get it. I'll go.
How are you coming along
with the subjects you failed?
Fine.
Sort of.
- I have some gaps, I think.
- Gaps?
I didn't like to study either.
You liked gambling instead.
- Mom.
- Relax. She's on the phone now.
Let's go, Lo.
- Everything okay?
- Yeah.
I'm staying, Mom.
You have to study, honey.
Come on.
- Is something wrong?
- No.
What's in there?
A jacket Gran gave me for the trip.
- The exchange trip?
- Yes.
You can't go
with all the subjects you failed.
- You don't even do well in German.
- I didn't fail German.
And I'm getting good grades.
Do you think you'll pass
eight subjects in December?
You'll have to take some in February.
I failed six subjects, not eight.
They came, cut the roots, and that was it.
What happened?
We must take up the dose of Valcote.
- Did you talk to Rosenthal?
- Yes.
- Where's Fran?
- Hi, honey.
He's playing outside.
Stay with him, Lo.
Give me the pills.
Let's go back in, Fran.
You can't play out here.
I don't wanna go inside.
I can lend you my Walkman,
and we can take Plesi if you want.
You're not gonna lose credit for the year.
How many classes did you miss?
Only three.
Where's Mom?
Why today? I don't get it.
Can't you put it off?
- We've discussed it.
- We had a conversation.
You agreed on it.
Juli, listen. Listen to me.
Sit down and look at me.
- I want to go with Mom.
- Julieta, your dad is talking to you.
- In a minute.
- I have to go today.
Do you want to draw on the wall?
You said you wouldn't go out.
We made a deal.
I never made any deal.
Yes, you did. I'll take you tomorrow.
Be right back.
We'll go in early tomorrow,
so you have plenty of time.
Listen to your dad, he's not saying no,
he'll drive you tomorrow.
- We agreed you'd stay today.
- It's just a rehearsal.
You're not gonna lose credit for the year.
How many classes did you miss?
We had a conversation
in the kitchen, and you agreed.
Juli.
- We didn't talk.
- We did.
Three days ago, the three of us.
We talked and you agreed,
that was the deal.
That you wouldn't go out in this state.
You agreed. We made a deal.
You haven't slept for two days.
- Where's my wallet?
- Calm down, honey. Please.
Why today? Why?
Because the orchestra is playing today.
Listen.
Why don't you take your meds?
You'll feel better.
That shit makes me dumb,
it makes me fat, don't you get it?
I'll call Rosenthal.
- "I'll call Rosenthal."
- Juli, please.
Where's my wallet?
Where did you put my wallet?
I talked to Geraldine yesterday,
you can't attend class like this.
No! Honey.
Honey, let me see.
Go away!
- Where's my wallet?
- Let me check. Let me see if you're hurt.
Juli. Juli, listen.
Your dad's talking to you.
Lo, I'm trapped here.
They won't let me see Lucas.
I wanna go to the rehearsal.
Please, help me.
- Stop it.
- Please.
Enough. Cut the show.
- Stop it, Julieta!
- Mom.
You don't know what it's like
to be hospitalized, Juli.
I'm sorry.
Let's go get ice-cream.
It's okay, honey.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Marini, come to my office when you finish.
Thank you.
What happened?
No clue.
Silence, please.
Come in.
Please.
You should know it wasn't easy.
You almost got suspended,
and your grades...
Still, I think this experience
will greatly benefit you
at this stage in your life.
I have good news.
We found a spot for you in Germany.
Cat got your tongue?
I thought there were none.
One turned up.
It's a good school in Dresden.
They liked your more sociable profile.
- Sociable?
- You're a chatterbox.
You have friends everywhere.
Is it close to Tatiana's area?
It is close, but it's a different school.
- It's not a boarding school, then.
- No. You'd be staying with a family.
lana Wieden.
She lives a few blocks away
from your school.
Those forms are
for your parents to fill out.
One important thing.
You can't fail any subject.
- I won't.
- You have to pass everything.
- I will.
- Okay?
Okay.
You can go now.
- I passed.
- Great.
- Is she gone?
- Still there.
- Everything okay?
- I got a spot for the exchange.
- Same city as Tati.
- Really?
- Tell you later.
- Okay.
- Miss... Sorry, I was at...
- Marini...
You passed. By an inch.
Please, improve your handwriting.
I can't make out a single word.
And think again where the pancreas is.
Here.
No, Marini. Not there.
Here?
Love your lipstick!
"How to know if he likes you?"
"Your friend tells you a hot guy
is staring at you across the bar.
What do you do?"
- About the hot guy?
- Yes.
"A. Nothing. He probably thinks
you look like somebody he knows.
B. You walk past him
in case he talks to you.
C. You came up to him
and his friends and say,
'Did you check out
my butt in these jeans?'"
"Hell I did!"
I can't believe we're going away.
I'm sure a German guy
will pop your cherry.
Shut up.
Get off me.
- You're staying over?
- No, I have to go back home.
You have to talk to your mom
about the trip?
It'll be such a great experience
for both of you.
Ale.
Alejo.
There are schnitzels in the oven, okay?
Don't forget to close before you leave.
Okay, Mom.
- How's Juli doing?
- Fine.
I heard she dropped out
of the conservatory.
She'll get back, eventually.
- She was taking two courses, right?
- Yeah.
- What are you studying?
- Citizen Education.
You failed Citizenship Education?
I failed Citizen Education.
Check it out. You'll love it.
They suck.
The National Gas Management Committee,
ENARGAS,
will carry out a ten-day analysis
to determine the increase.
Demonstrators were demanding
back pays from March.
They were shut down
by the Infantry Guard Corps.
- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, honey.
- How did it go?
- Great. I passed.
That's great. Congratulations.
Can I keep it?
That's huge for you.
Why don't you try this one?
You can make it shorter. It's flowy.
What's that?
A family's offer from Dresden.
That's the city
where Tati will be staying.
The girl's name is lana.
Her mother is a psychologist.
The house is near the school.
I don't have to spend money on bus fare.
I'll read it later.
It's a great school, Mom.
It has a gym, a canteen.
There's a theater nearby.
And Tati will be just a few blocks away.
Lo, without Dad's company,
everything's more complicated.
- Can't we ask Uncle for help?
- We can't ask for any more money.
You said if a spot turned up...
Things change, honey.
Things change.
I've been saving up, Mom.
Tati and I have been planning this
for so long.
We'll talk about it later, Lo.
- Keep them.
- I don't like them that much.
Put the cap back on, Fran.
Or it'll go flat. We talked about this.
It's okay, honey.
Is it good?
Excuse me.
- Some pocket money.
- Thanks.
Math?
No. Geography.
What's the capital of Morocco?
I don't know.
Rabat.
Wanna go driving tomorrow?
Dad.
Is Juli gonna be okay again?
Yes.
I'll let you study.
Hello?
Hi, Mori.
Fine.
I'll put you through.
Mom!
Mom!
Mom.
Mom.
- What is it?
- You have a call.
Give me.
You're going too much to the left.
Go straight down. There.
The steering is faulty.
No, you're holding it wrong.
Okay.
If I hand out fliers,
and get something extra...
I can ask Magda.
Plus my savings.
I should be able to pay for the ticket.
Ask Magda for what?
A job in her real estate agency I guess.
Anything she needs.
Maybe. We'll see later. Now focus.
- Am I too close to the car behind?
- No, you're okay.
Can we practice parking?
- You'll park when we get home.
- Okay.
- Use the mirror.
- Yes. I'm using the mirror.
- Always the clutch, okay?
- I know.
Or you'll damage my car.
You make me anxious
when you yell at me.
- I didn't yell. Hello.
- Good job, honey.
- How did it go?
- Great.
Can I go for a ride?
- It's not a good time, honey.
- Please.
- I'll be back in no time.
- I wanna go, too!
Rosenthal said you shouldn't drive, honey.
You're a prison.
Great timing.
You had to go driving just now?
Bravo.
Juli...
Are you okay?
It's a painting, it's art.
I can explain it. I can explain it, Mario.
It's so silly.
Mom, I sent a letter to the German girl.
Turn it up.
- Mom.
- I heard you.
I asked her if I can take a train
from the airport to save the taxi fee.
You mean the girl thinks you're going?
I don't get it.
I don't know. I wrote to her.
We still don't know
if you'll be able to go.
Why not?
Lo, you're young,
you have a lot of trips ahead of you.
I don't need help.
We're dealing
with your sister's treatment, honey.
I know, that's why I'm saving money.
It's not just that.
What if something happens to you there?
Why do you always think the worst?
- Stop it, Lo.
- What?
- I'm going anyway.
- Forget about that trip.
It's been decided.
You're a prison, Sandra.
I told you not to call me Sandra again.
I'm your mom. I gave birth to you.
You didn't, you had a C-section.
That's giving birth, too.
Don't leave my CDs like this,
they'll get scratched!
What do you want?
What are you doing?
Give me my jacket.
No.
Give it back to me, Julieta.
- Give it back.
- No!
It's mine.
Let go!
Psycho.
Idiot!
Sure you don't wanna play again?
I'm having a bit of a headache.
- I'll pick you up later.
- Okay. Bye, Mom.
We're here.
- Here.
- Thanks, Magda.
You're welcome.
How's the sale of your house going?
It's not for sale.
I got confused with the Penz house.
Send my regards to your mom.
We should go to the theater
someday.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
How did it go?
- Good.
- Good?
That's all?
Always so eloquent.
Is the house for sale?
Who told you?
Why would you sell it?
Let's go to bed.
It's late and you have an exam tomorrow.
Then it's true, you are selling it.
It's late, honey.
Why didn't you tell us?
It's my house, too.
You don't get to decide that.
Houses don't sell quickly.
What are you doing here?
I'm not tired.
Lo! Don't tell your sister.
Rosenthal asked us to wait.
He announced he is running
for president in 1998.
- Uncle.
- How's it going?
First one to go.
The hen... The egg... You add it.
- You mean it's the hen's crap?
- Yes.
- Mom.
- It's not the yolk.
- Say hi to your auntie.
- Hi.
How are you, gorgeous?
- And the fruit...
- Take a good angle.
You look amazing.
You had total glow-up.
- That's my vittello tonnato.
- Gran.
Film it.
At last!
The invasion.
Hello!
How are you?
- Mom.
- What is it, honey?
- Say hi.
- You know I hate cameras.
We're having dinner now.
And you said,
"Look, look, look, there's a whale."
The drinks need a little ice.
Cheers.
Cheers!
Cheers, everybody.
It gets stuck in your teeth.
Look! What a lovely fan!
Bravo!
Honey. What is it?
- Show me.
- Is this one for me?
- What's this?
- Honey!
You like it? This song is for you.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
- New Year at your place?
- New Year at my place.
What's up, sweetie?
What's up, sweetie?
Does my wig look bad? Hold on.
Is it right now? Do I look right?
No, I don't.
Do the thing with your nose.
Hey. Let's go have breakfast.
What time is it?
It doesn't matter.
Let's go.
Where did you go last night?
To a party.
And then to a motel.
- The one on General Paz?
- No, another one.
It had a hot tub.
- You fucked him in the hot tub?
- No way!
I can't do it in the water.
Was your first time in a motel?
No. And it wasn't with Lucas either.
I have strawberry flavored condoms
if you want.
For your trip to Germany.
What are you two mumbling about?
You're so mysterious.
You wanna order ice-cream?
- Do you coffee, Mom?
- Yes, please, honey.
She's better, right?
Here you go.
Thanks.
- Lo!
- Hi.
- What's up?
- How are you?
Where are you going with that pile?
To hell.
- What's that?
- They're for the band.
We made them with Ruso.
But I messed up the address
and now I have to reprint them.
- Can I...?
- Here.
They're playing tonight. You can come.
I'm sure there will be an after-party.
Okay, I'll invite Tati along.
- Okay. Cool.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
I liked it.
- You did?
- Yes.
Are they German?
No, they're from near here, San Martn.
Want some?
Have you had that for long?
No, just for a month.
I had it done at "La Bond".
Did it hurt?
No.
Why? You wanna get one?
Maybe.
I know the guy who does it,
we can go together.
Okay.
Paul said we can leave the equipment here.
- Cool.
- I'll go get some beer.
- Are you coming?
- Okay.
I was waving at you. I called the taxi.
I'll stay a bit longer.
- How are you going back?
- I'll figure it out, don't worry.
Okay. Bye.
- Did you get me cigarettes?
- I'll buy tomorrow.
You said you'd get bring tonight.
What color would you say I am?
What?
When you look at me...
what color comes to your mind?
I don't know.
It depends on the day.
I miss Lucas.
Can you sleep with me tonight?
Okay.
Okay, this one is done.
This one too.
Factoring polynomials.
You love this topic.
With polynomials, you basically do
the same process.
You add this.
And the result is...
72?
I can't do additions.
P(x) equals 5 times 3...
- Hi!
- Hi, Juli.
Plus two x, plus x square.
Minus two.
Can you give me a hand?
Later.
You understand?
Sort of.
So I have to separate by terms?
Right.
Careful, Juli.
Can you help me assemble the telescope?
Go away, Juli. We're studying.
Fine.
You got braces.
Yes.
- You look cute.
- Juli.
Come here, honey.
- What?
- I have something to tell you.
- Come on.
- What is it?
Come with me.
Have you seen my wallet?
No.
- We'll give that telescope back.
- I want to keep it!
You said you'd go to Andrea's
and be right back.
- You can't drive like this!
- Leave me alone!
Should we keep going?
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
This looks wild.
That peak over there. It goes like...
Want some water?
Are you okay?
What is it?
I didn't want to take that ride.
Why didn't you say so?
Because you kept insisting.
Don't get mad.
I'm not mad, I just didn't want
to take that fucking ride.
I have doubts about going to Germany.
I can't picture myself so far away.
And you're telling me this now?
It's always been more your idea than mine.
I can't picture myself there.
My parents will split up if I go.
They'll split up anyway.
Yes, I know.
That's why I'd rather be here.
For my mom.
A girl from senior year got it done.
Eighties.
Nice.
For your trip, right?
It's cool.
- The girl for the piercing?
- Coming!
He's a Chilean tattoo artist.
- I like this one.
- It's cool.
The guy's crazy.
It's got a lot of detail.
It's like realism.
It won't hurt. It's quick.
Done. Take a look.
Don't touch it for a few days,
it has to heal.
Thanks.
Thank you.
It looks good.
- Should we go?
- Go ahead, I'm meeting some friends.
Okay.
- Hi, honey.
- Hi, Magda.
- Nice piercing.
- Thank you.
Here.
Tati?
In the club with her cousin.
So it's double pay for you.
- Hi!
- Hi.
What's up?
- Did you pass?
- All of them.
Great! You're going away!
- Ready?
- Yes.
Juli has vertigo, you know?
Because of the meds?
No, she's always been like that.
Your hands are sweaty.
Shut up.
Is Tati mad?
Tati's cool.
It's not about you.
Let's go for a swim.
You're crazy.
Are you gonna jump?
Come on, jelly!
Not so much filling, Fran.
- Dad!
- What?
Can we go driving now?
Later.
Later when?
Later.
Less, less.
Now roll it in.
A letter came for you.
Did you get a piercing?
It looks cool.
What's that?
Nothing. From school.
Not now.
Just for a short while.
The exam is a few days away.
I can't now, sorry.
I'll take her.
Come on, Dad, I feel okay now.
Right outside.
It'll be just a few minutes.
We'll be right outside.
Okay. Just a few minutes.
One more time.
Are you okay? Come on.
Here.
- Pull it.
- It's stuck.
I don't know what's wrong.
Move over.
I thought I had broken it.
Let's go for a ride.
A short ride.
There's no one out in this heat.
Where are we going?
Let's go back home.
In a minute.
In a young bright wind...
Come on, dance.
Don't be uncool. Come on.
In a matter of faith...
In an invisible shield...
- Juli.
- Be right back.
- Hi.
- Hi, Juli.
Wait. What are you doing?
- What do you mean?
- Don't show up like that.
You're not picking my calls.
There's a reason for that.
- A reason?
- Stop it.
Stop what? Don't go.
Get off me. Go now.
- I'm talking to you!
- Go away!
What happened?
Let's go.
In a tired afternoon...
In a young bright wind...
- Where's my lighter?
- I don't know.
In a matter of faith...
This shit's not working.
In a tired afternoon...
- Shit!
- What is it?
- What is it, Juli?
- I dropped my lit cigarette.
- Get off there.
- It's burning.
You're blocking the gear stick.
- It's burning. Wait.
- Careful.
Move, move.
- Stop it!
- You're blocking it. Move away!
What's wrong with you?
- You're not well.
- You're not well! Always pissed.
- You're driving us all crazy.
- You're driving us all crazy.
Lucas doesn't love you anymore.
He doesn't like what you've become.
No!
Juli!
Are you okay?
Hi, Mom.
Hello? Yes. Yes, yes.
She's at the club.
Okay. Thank you. We're on our way.
I'll call a taxi.
- Where's my bag?
- Here.
I'll stay with Fran.
Fran is at Julian's.
It's coming.
- It's coming?
- Yes.
- Do you have money?
- Yes.
I'm coming with you.
Okay.
Hurry, Esteban.
He's asleep now.
- Since what time?
- Ten minutes ago.
- Thanks.
- Talk to you later.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOLI
- Gran?
- Yes?
Juli was like me when she was my age?
No. No.
You've always been more independent.
Your sister always needed more attention.
She's more like me.
What's it like to be hospitalized?
It can be tough,
but sometimes it's the only option.
When your head is on fire,
love's not enough.
Wider.
Yes.
Isn't that coat too warm?
- What happened to Tati?
- Bye, Gran.
Wait.
A good inheritance is meant to be
enjoyed while alive.
Thank your great-grandmother.
- Bye.
- Bye, honey.
See? She's gone.
And you're still asleep.
Hi.
Taxi?
- Bus.
- It's on me.
Okay, then.
Happy birthday, Dolores.
- How are you?
- Fine.
Good.
Hi.
What is it?
Come, sit down.
Is Juli all right?
She had to be hospitalized.
For how long?
I don't know. They couldn't tell us.
I'll make some tea.
Come here.
What does Rosenthal say?
He couldn't say anything specific.
We have to wait.
How was Grandma?
Was the cake any good?
She said it didn't have enough cream.
Listen, Lo.
I know it hurts to see Juli like this,
but it's not your burden.
It's not your fault.
You have to live your own life.
And that's okay.
It's gonna be all right.
Show us the German girl's pictures.
No.
You have to go, Lola.
I don't wanna go,
I don't care about the trip.
It's important.
No.
We found buyers for the house.
- But Fran...
- We'll be here.
Fran's gonna be all right.
We're all gonna be all right.
You have to go.
Marini?
Wait here.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- I'm Julieta's father.
- Yes.
- How is she?
- She's feeling fine today.
Great. Can I see her?
Yes, sure.
Lol. Lol!
Wait here.
Juli, how are you?
How are you? Are you okay?
Can I pull up a chair?
She doesn't want to see me?
She doesn't want you
to see her like this.
Wanna go for a drive?
Today you'll try third gear.
I tried to make a cake
because you were coming,
but it turned out like crap.
Sorry I vented on you.
Apologize
for messing with my brother, you bitch.
I'm gonna miss you.
Me too.
- You got the license?
- I got it.
Fran!
Wait, baby.
No. You're sitting in the back.
Yeah.
- Here?
- Let me see.
Hurry up. I'm getting nervous.
Done?
Thanks.
Can I have a hug?
Take care, honey.
- I will.
- Okay.
- Call us as soon as you arrive.
- I will.
She said to open it
when you get there.
Okay.
- Lo, are you ready?
- Yes.
Bye.
Hi, Lo. Lizard Queen here.
These are 18 great songs
to keep you company
better than anyone else.
Have you eaten strudel yet?
How are you?
Freezing your butt off I'd imagine.
I'm here.
I have my days.
Days I'm here, days I'm not...
Today I am.
Visitors have just left
and I ran into a guy
who reminded me
of aunt Cecilia's boyfriend.
That farting wanker.
About Lucas...
You were right.
He doesn't love me anymore.
Don't feel bad for me.
Listen.
I wish things were like before between us.
I don't know if that's possible.
Have a good trip, little punk.
You can't be happy
With all those people
talking and talking around you
Give me your love to me
I'm talking to your heart
To my brother Mariano Zanetti
(1975-2019)
When you're feeling lonely in the street
With so many people
talking and talking around you
You need someone
to keep you company
I'm talking to your heart
You can't be happy
With so many people
talking and talking around you
Line up!
There they come.
Attention, squad!
Present arms!
Ladislao, are you there?
Right next to you, Camila.
Shoulder arms!
Aim!
Fire!
Ladislao!
Attention, squad!
Shoulder arms! Aim!
Fire!
I said, "Fire!"
Fire!
So intense.
So intense.
I'm never watching it again.
Careful, Lo!
It's beautiful.
- But it's too sad.
- Yes.
The quality went down.
- What?
- It used to be moister.
It's drier now, it's more...
You're so whiny.
That's gross.
Stop it.
- It's your turn.
- I know.
You're so lucky.
You totally got me.
Let's play another hand.
Feel like losing again, Gran?
Your luck just ran out.
I'll get it. I'll go.
How are you coming along
with the subjects you failed?
Fine.
Sort of.
- I have some gaps, I think.
- Gaps?
I didn't like to study either.
You liked gambling instead.
- Mom.
- Relax. She's on the phone now.
Let's go, Lo.
- Everything okay?
- Yeah.
I'm staying, Mom.
You have to study, honey.
Come on.
- Is something wrong?
- No.
What's in there?
A jacket Gran gave me for the trip.
- The exchange trip?
- Yes.
You can't go
with all the subjects you failed.
- You don't even do well in German.
- I didn't fail German.
And I'm getting good grades.
Do you think you'll pass
eight subjects in December?
You'll have to take some in February.
I failed six subjects, not eight.
They came, cut the roots, and that was it.
What happened?
We must take up the dose of Valcote.
- Did you talk to Rosenthal?
- Yes.
- Where's Fran?
- Hi, honey.
He's playing outside.
Stay with him, Lo.
Give me the pills.
Let's go back in, Fran.
You can't play out here.
I don't wanna go inside.
I can lend you my Walkman,
and we can take Plesi if you want.
You're not gonna lose credit for the year.
How many classes did you miss?
Only three.
Where's Mom?
Why today? I don't get it.
Can't you put it off?
- We've discussed it.
- We had a conversation.
You agreed on it.
Juli, listen. Listen to me.
Sit down and look at me.
- I want to go with Mom.
- Julieta, your dad is talking to you.
- In a minute.
- I have to go today.
Do you want to draw on the wall?
You said you wouldn't go out.
We made a deal.
I never made any deal.
Yes, you did. I'll take you tomorrow.
Be right back.
We'll go in early tomorrow,
so you have plenty of time.
Listen to your dad, he's not saying no,
he'll drive you tomorrow.
- We agreed you'd stay today.
- It's just a rehearsal.
You're not gonna lose credit for the year.
How many classes did you miss?
We had a conversation
in the kitchen, and you agreed.
Juli.
- We didn't talk.
- We did.
Three days ago, the three of us.
We talked and you agreed,
that was the deal.
That you wouldn't go out in this state.
You agreed. We made a deal.
You haven't slept for two days.
- Where's my wallet?
- Calm down, honey. Please.
Why today? Why?
Because the orchestra is playing today.
Listen.
Why don't you take your meds?
You'll feel better.
That shit makes me dumb,
it makes me fat, don't you get it?
I'll call Rosenthal.
- "I'll call Rosenthal."
- Juli, please.
Where's my wallet?
Where did you put my wallet?
I talked to Geraldine yesterday,
you can't attend class like this.
No! Honey.
Honey, let me see.
Go away!
- Where's my wallet?
- Let me check. Let me see if you're hurt.
Juli. Juli, listen.
Your dad's talking to you.
Lo, I'm trapped here.
They won't let me see Lucas.
I wanna go to the rehearsal.
Please, help me.
- Stop it.
- Please.
Enough. Cut the show.
- Stop it, Julieta!
- Mom.
You don't know what it's like
to be hospitalized, Juli.
I'm sorry.
Let's go get ice-cream.
It's okay, honey.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Marini, come to my office when you finish.
Thank you.
What happened?
No clue.
Silence, please.
Come in.
Please.
You should know it wasn't easy.
You almost got suspended,
and your grades...
Still, I think this experience
will greatly benefit you
at this stage in your life.
I have good news.
We found a spot for you in Germany.
Cat got your tongue?
I thought there were none.
One turned up.
It's a good school in Dresden.
They liked your more sociable profile.
- Sociable?
- You're a chatterbox.
You have friends everywhere.
Is it close to Tatiana's area?
It is close, but it's a different school.
- It's not a boarding school, then.
- No. You'd be staying with a family.
lana Wieden.
She lives a few blocks away
from your school.
Those forms are
for your parents to fill out.
One important thing.
You can't fail any subject.
- I won't.
- You have to pass everything.
- I will.
- Okay?
Okay.
You can go now.
- I passed.
- Great.
- Is she gone?
- Still there.
- Everything okay?
- I got a spot for the exchange.
- Same city as Tati.
- Really?
- Tell you later.
- Okay.
- Miss... Sorry, I was at...
- Marini...
You passed. By an inch.
Please, improve your handwriting.
I can't make out a single word.
And think again where the pancreas is.
Here.
No, Marini. Not there.
Here?
Love your lipstick!
"How to know if he likes you?"
"Your friend tells you a hot guy
is staring at you across the bar.
What do you do?"
- About the hot guy?
- Yes.
"A. Nothing. He probably thinks
you look like somebody he knows.
B. You walk past him
in case he talks to you.
C. You came up to him
and his friends and say,
'Did you check out
my butt in these jeans?'"
"Hell I did!"
I can't believe we're going away.
I'm sure a German guy
will pop your cherry.
Shut up.
Get off me.
- You're staying over?
- No, I have to go back home.
You have to talk to your mom
about the trip?
It'll be such a great experience
for both of you.
Ale.
Alejo.
There are schnitzels in the oven, okay?
Don't forget to close before you leave.
Okay, Mom.
- How's Juli doing?
- Fine.
I heard she dropped out
of the conservatory.
She'll get back, eventually.
- She was taking two courses, right?
- Yeah.
- What are you studying?
- Citizen Education.
You failed Citizenship Education?
I failed Citizen Education.
Check it out. You'll love it.
They suck.
The National Gas Management Committee,
ENARGAS,
will carry out a ten-day analysis
to determine the increase.
Demonstrators were demanding
back pays from March.
They were shut down
by the Infantry Guard Corps.
- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, honey.
- How did it go?
- Great. I passed.
That's great. Congratulations.
Can I keep it?
That's huge for you.
Why don't you try this one?
You can make it shorter. It's flowy.
What's that?
A family's offer from Dresden.
That's the city
where Tati will be staying.
The girl's name is lana.
Her mother is a psychologist.
The house is near the school.
I don't have to spend money on bus fare.
I'll read it later.
It's a great school, Mom.
It has a gym, a canteen.
There's a theater nearby.
And Tati will be just a few blocks away.
Lo, without Dad's company,
everything's more complicated.
- Can't we ask Uncle for help?
- We can't ask for any more money.
You said if a spot turned up...
Things change, honey.
Things change.
I've been saving up, Mom.
Tati and I have been planning this
for so long.
We'll talk about it later, Lo.
- Keep them.
- I don't like them that much.
Put the cap back on, Fran.
Or it'll go flat. We talked about this.
It's okay, honey.
Is it good?
Excuse me.
- Some pocket money.
- Thanks.
Math?
No. Geography.
What's the capital of Morocco?
I don't know.
Rabat.
Wanna go driving tomorrow?
Dad.
Is Juli gonna be okay again?
Yes.
I'll let you study.
Hello?
Hi, Mori.
Fine.
I'll put you through.
Mom!
Mom!
Mom.
Mom.
- What is it?
- You have a call.
Give me.
You're going too much to the left.
Go straight down. There.
The steering is faulty.
No, you're holding it wrong.
Okay.
If I hand out fliers,
and get something extra...
I can ask Magda.
Plus my savings.
I should be able to pay for the ticket.
Ask Magda for what?
A job in her real estate agency I guess.
Anything she needs.
Maybe. We'll see later. Now focus.
- Am I too close to the car behind?
- No, you're okay.
Can we practice parking?
- You'll park when we get home.
- Okay.
- Use the mirror.
- Yes. I'm using the mirror.
- Always the clutch, okay?
- I know.
Or you'll damage my car.
You make me anxious
when you yell at me.
- I didn't yell. Hello.
- Good job, honey.
- How did it go?
- Great.
Can I go for a ride?
- It's not a good time, honey.
- Please.
- I'll be back in no time.
- I wanna go, too!
Rosenthal said you shouldn't drive, honey.
You're a prison.
Great timing.
You had to go driving just now?
Bravo.
Juli...
Are you okay?
It's a painting, it's art.
I can explain it. I can explain it, Mario.
It's so silly.
Mom, I sent a letter to the German girl.
Turn it up.
- Mom.
- I heard you.
I asked her if I can take a train
from the airport to save the taxi fee.
You mean the girl thinks you're going?
I don't get it.
I don't know. I wrote to her.
We still don't know
if you'll be able to go.
Why not?
Lo, you're young,
you have a lot of trips ahead of you.
I don't need help.
We're dealing
with your sister's treatment, honey.
I know, that's why I'm saving money.
It's not just that.
What if something happens to you there?
Why do you always think the worst?
- Stop it, Lo.
- What?
- I'm going anyway.
- Forget about that trip.
It's been decided.
You're a prison, Sandra.
I told you not to call me Sandra again.
I'm your mom. I gave birth to you.
You didn't, you had a C-section.
That's giving birth, too.
Don't leave my CDs like this,
they'll get scratched!
What do you want?
What are you doing?
Give me my jacket.
No.
Give it back to me, Julieta.
- Give it back.
- No!
It's mine.
Let go!
Psycho.
Idiot!
Sure you don't wanna play again?
I'm having a bit of a headache.
- I'll pick you up later.
- Okay. Bye, Mom.
We're here.
- Here.
- Thanks, Magda.
You're welcome.
How's the sale of your house going?
It's not for sale.
I got confused with the Penz house.
Send my regards to your mom.
We should go to the theater
someday.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
How did it go?
- Good.
- Good?
That's all?
Always so eloquent.
Is the house for sale?
Who told you?
Why would you sell it?
Let's go to bed.
It's late and you have an exam tomorrow.
Then it's true, you are selling it.
It's late, honey.
Why didn't you tell us?
It's my house, too.
You don't get to decide that.
Houses don't sell quickly.
What are you doing here?
I'm not tired.
Lo! Don't tell your sister.
Rosenthal asked us to wait.
He announced he is running
for president in 1998.
- Uncle.
- How's it going?
First one to go.
The hen... The egg... You add it.
- You mean it's the hen's crap?
- Yes.
- Mom.
- It's not the yolk.
- Say hi to your auntie.
- Hi.
How are you, gorgeous?
- And the fruit...
- Take a good angle.
You look amazing.
You had total glow-up.
- That's my vittello tonnato.
- Gran.
Film it.
At last!
The invasion.
Hello!
How are you?
- Mom.
- What is it, honey?
- Say hi.
- You know I hate cameras.
We're having dinner now.
And you said,
"Look, look, look, there's a whale."
The drinks need a little ice.
Cheers.
Cheers!
Cheers, everybody.
It gets stuck in your teeth.
Look! What a lovely fan!
Bravo!
Honey. What is it?
- Show me.
- Is this one for me?
- What's this?
- Honey!
You like it? This song is for you.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
- New Year at your place?
- New Year at my place.
What's up, sweetie?
What's up, sweetie?
Does my wig look bad? Hold on.
Is it right now? Do I look right?
No, I don't.
Do the thing with your nose.
Hey. Let's go have breakfast.
What time is it?
It doesn't matter.
Let's go.
Where did you go last night?
To a party.
And then to a motel.
- The one on General Paz?
- No, another one.
It had a hot tub.
- You fucked him in the hot tub?
- No way!
I can't do it in the water.
Was your first time in a motel?
No. And it wasn't with Lucas either.
I have strawberry flavored condoms
if you want.
For your trip to Germany.
What are you two mumbling about?
You're so mysterious.
You wanna order ice-cream?
- Do you coffee, Mom?
- Yes, please, honey.
She's better, right?
Here you go.
Thanks.
- Lo!
- Hi.
- What's up?
- How are you?
Where are you going with that pile?
To hell.
- What's that?
- They're for the band.
We made them with Ruso.
But I messed up the address
and now I have to reprint them.
- Can I...?
- Here.
They're playing tonight. You can come.
I'm sure there will be an after-party.
Okay, I'll invite Tati along.
- Okay. Cool.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
I liked it.
- You did?
- Yes.
Are they German?
No, they're from near here, San Martn.
Want some?
Have you had that for long?
No, just for a month.
I had it done at "La Bond".
Did it hurt?
No.
Why? You wanna get one?
Maybe.
I know the guy who does it,
we can go together.
Okay.
Paul said we can leave the equipment here.
- Cool.
- I'll go get some beer.
- Are you coming?
- Okay.
I was waving at you. I called the taxi.
I'll stay a bit longer.
- How are you going back?
- I'll figure it out, don't worry.
Okay. Bye.
- Did you get me cigarettes?
- I'll buy tomorrow.
You said you'd get bring tonight.
What color would you say I am?
What?
When you look at me...
what color comes to your mind?
I don't know.
It depends on the day.
I miss Lucas.
Can you sleep with me tonight?
Okay.
Okay, this one is done.
This one too.
Factoring polynomials.
You love this topic.
With polynomials, you basically do
the same process.
You add this.
And the result is...
72?
I can't do additions.
P(x) equals 5 times 3...
- Hi!
- Hi, Juli.
Plus two x, plus x square.
Minus two.
Can you give me a hand?
Later.
You understand?
Sort of.
So I have to separate by terms?
Right.
Careful, Juli.
Can you help me assemble the telescope?
Go away, Juli. We're studying.
Fine.
You got braces.
Yes.
- You look cute.
- Juli.
Come here, honey.
- What?
- I have something to tell you.
- Come on.
- What is it?
Come with me.
Have you seen my wallet?
No.
- We'll give that telescope back.
- I want to keep it!
You said you'd go to Andrea's
and be right back.
- You can't drive like this!
- Leave me alone!
Should we keep going?
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
This looks wild.
That peak over there. It goes like...
Want some water?
Are you okay?
What is it?
I didn't want to take that ride.
Why didn't you say so?
Because you kept insisting.
Don't get mad.
I'm not mad, I just didn't want
to take that fucking ride.
I have doubts about going to Germany.
I can't picture myself so far away.
And you're telling me this now?
It's always been more your idea than mine.
I can't picture myself there.
My parents will split up if I go.
They'll split up anyway.
Yes, I know.
That's why I'd rather be here.
For my mom.
A girl from senior year got it done.
Eighties.
Nice.
For your trip, right?
It's cool.
- The girl for the piercing?
- Coming!
He's a Chilean tattoo artist.
- I like this one.
- It's cool.
The guy's crazy.
It's got a lot of detail.
It's like realism.
It won't hurt. It's quick.
Done. Take a look.
Don't touch it for a few days,
it has to heal.
Thanks.
Thank you.
It looks good.
- Should we go?
- Go ahead, I'm meeting some friends.
Okay.
- Hi, honey.
- Hi, Magda.
- Nice piercing.
- Thank you.
Here.
Tati?
In the club with her cousin.
So it's double pay for you.
- Hi!
- Hi.
What's up?
- Did you pass?
- All of them.
Great! You're going away!
- Ready?
- Yes.
Juli has vertigo, you know?
Because of the meds?
No, she's always been like that.
Your hands are sweaty.
Shut up.
Is Tati mad?
Tati's cool.
It's not about you.
Let's go for a swim.
You're crazy.
Are you gonna jump?
Come on, jelly!
Not so much filling, Fran.
- Dad!
- What?
Can we go driving now?
Later.
Later when?
Later.
Less, less.
Now roll it in.
A letter came for you.
Did you get a piercing?
It looks cool.
What's that?
Nothing. From school.
Not now.
Just for a short while.
The exam is a few days away.
I can't now, sorry.
I'll take her.
Come on, Dad, I feel okay now.
Right outside.
It'll be just a few minutes.
We'll be right outside.
Okay. Just a few minutes.
One more time.
Are you okay? Come on.
Here.
- Pull it.
- It's stuck.
I don't know what's wrong.
Move over.
I thought I had broken it.
Let's go for a ride.
A short ride.
There's no one out in this heat.
Where are we going?
Let's go back home.
In a minute.
In a young bright wind...
Come on, dance.
Don't be uncool. Come on.
In a matter of faith...
In an invisible shield...
- Juli.
- Be right back.
- Hi.
- Hi, Juli.
Wait. What are you doing?
- What do you mean?
- Don't show up like that.
You're not picking my calls.
There's a reason for that.
- A reason?
- Stop it.
Stop what? Don't go.
Get off me. Go now.
- I'm talking to you!
- Go away!
What happened?
Let's go.
In a tired afternoon...
In a young bright wind...
- Where's my lighter?
- I don't know.
In a matter of faith...
This shit's not working.
In a tired afternoon...
- Shit!
- What is it?
- What is it, Juli?
- I dropped my lit cigarette.
- Get off there.
- It's burning.
You're blocking the gear stick.
- It's burning. Wait.
- Careful.
Move, move.
- Stop it!
- You're blocking it. Move away!
What's wrong with you?
- You're not well.
- You're not well! Always pissed.
- You're driving us all crazy.
- You're driving us all crazy.
Lucas doesn't love you anymore.
He doesn't like what you've become.
No!
Juli!
Are you okay?
Hi, Mom.
Hello? Yes. Yes, yes.
She's at the club.
Okay. Thank you. We're on our way.
I'll call a taxi.
- Where's my bag?
- Here.
I'll stay with Fran.
Fran is at Julian's.
It's coming.
- It's coming?
- Yes.
- Do you have money?
- Yes.
I'm coming with you.
Okay.
Hurry, Esteban.
He's asleep now.
- Since what time?
- Ten minutes ago.
- Thanks.
- Talk to you later.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOLI
- Gran?
- Yes?
Juli was like me when she was my age?
No. No.
You've always been more independent.
Your sister always needed more attention.
She's more like me.
What's it like to be hospitalized?
It can be tough,
but sometimes it's the only option.
When your head is on fire,
love's not enough.
Wider.
Yes.
Isn't that coat too warm?
- What happened to Tati?
- Bye, Gran.
Wait.
A good inheritance is meant to be
enjoyed while alive.
Thank your great-grandmother.
- Bye.
- Bye, honey.
See? She's gone.
And you're still asleep.
Hi.
Taxi?
- Bus.
- It's on me.
Okay, then.
Happy birthday, Dolores.
- How are you?
- Fine.
Good.
Hi.
What is it?
Come, sit down.
Is Juli all right?
She had to be hospitalized.
For how long?
I don't know. They couldn't tell us.
I'll make some tea.
Come here.
What does Rosenthal say?
He couldn't say anything specific.
We have to wait.
How was Grandma?
Was the cake any good?
She said it didn't have enough cream.
Listen, Lo.
I know it hurts to see Juli like this,
but it's not your burden.
It's not your fault.
You have to live your own life.
And that's okay.
It's gonna be all right.
Show us the German girl's pictures.
No.
You have to go, Lola.
I don't wanna go,
I don't care about the trip.
It's important.
No.
We found buyers for the house.
- But Fran...
- We'll be here.
Fran's gonna be all right.
We're all gonna be all right.
You have to go.
Marini?
Wait here.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- I'm Julieta's father.
- Yes.
- How is she?
- She's feeling fine today.
Great. Can I see her?
Yes, sure.
Lol. Lol!
Wait here.
Juli, how are you?
How are you? Are you okay?
Can I pull up a chair?
She doesn't want to see me?
She doesn't want you
to see her like this.
Wanna go for a drive?
Today you'll try third gear.
I tried to make a cake
because you were coming,
but it turned out like crap.
Sorry I vented on you.
Apologize
for messing with my brother, you bitch.
I'm gonna miss you.
Me too.
- You got the license?
- I got it.
Fran!
Wait, baby.
No. You're sitting in the back.
Yeah.
- Here?
- Let me see.
Hurry up. I'm getting nervous.
Done?
Thanks.
Can I have a hug?
Take care, honey.
- I will.
- Okay.
- Call us as soon as you arrive.
- I will.
She said to open it
when you get there.
Okay.
- Lo, are you ready?
- Yes.
Bye.
Hi, Lo. Lizard Queen here.
These are 18 great songs
to keep you company
better than anyone else.
Have you eaten strudel yet?
How are you?
Freezing your butt off I'd imagine.
I'm here.
I have my days.
Days I'm here, days I'm not...
Today I am.
Visitors have just left
and I ran into a guy
who reminded me
of aunt Cecilia's boyfriend.
That farting wanker.
About Lucas...
You were right.
He doesn't love me anymore.
Don't feel bad for me.
Listen.
I wish things were like before between us.
I don't know if that's possible.
Have a good trip, little punk.
You can't be happy
With all those people
talking and talking around you
Give me your love to me
I'm talking to your heart
To my brother Mariano Zanetti
(1975-2019)
When you're feeling lonely in the street
With so many people
talking and talking around you
You need someone
to keep you company
I'm talking to your heart
You can't be happy
With so many people
talking and talking around you
