ONE PERSON ONLY
[elevator whirring]
- Hello.
- Hello.
- How are you?
- Not again?
- Again.
- Did it break?
- Yes.
- Ah, it's fine, you take it. I can
- I'll take the stairs. I
- No, no, no.
No, I want to take the stairs.
- Uh No, you take it
- No, no, you take it.
Look at you. Seven floors.
- You'll be dead.
- I usually take the stairs.
I nearly always take the stairs.
I rarely use the elevator.
- Right. No, but I'll take the stairs. I
- No, no, no.
Take. Take the elevator.
- Um
- Take it. Take the elevator.
- All right.
- Yes, you take the elevator.
- And I'll take the stairs.
- Okay.
- Uh, good luck.
- Good luck to you.
See who arrives first.
[mischievous music playing]
[panting]
[music pauses]
[breathes heavily]
[mischievous music resumes]
[grunts]
[panting]
[breathing shakily]
[music stops]
Ah, you got here first.
[exhales]
Always.
[chuckles]
[panting]
ENVIOUS
[Fernanda]
Do you want to tell me what happened?
You said that I had to let it go,
and now I'm letting it go.
- [pen click]
- Uh-huh.
I don't I don't know
what you're writing down, I mean
I didn't say anything,
and you're already, uh
You're writing down quite a lot.
- Uh-huh.
- Uh
No, because the "Mm-hmm,"
"Uh-huh," "Oh-hum," "Okay"
I don't know, I feel like
if you don't say anything to me,
something, like, that guides me
a little more, you see?
I get a bit lost
with the "Mm-hmm," "Uh-huh."
Sometimes I suggest
that you lie on your back.
On the couch.
- Here?
- Mm-hmm.
And what does that do?
Give off positive energy, like a?
Like a good vibe for
For? No, all the same, I'm fine here.
I mean, it's fine. This is comfortable.
What are you writing down?
I didn't say anything, huh?
The couch seems comfortable,
that's all. It's nice.
Well, today I woke up.
And I didn't look at social media at all.
I had breakfast, showered,
did my facial routine and hair,
got dressed, and went to work.
The calm didn't last long
because, as soon as I arrive,
Maggie Roldán's talking about how
her husband craps in the shape of a heart.
And that her kids are, like, um
Oh, I don't know, super gifted.
So young and already saving
his sister's life, you know?
[woman] This child is a treasure.
Hey, how are you?
- Hello.
- How's it going?
[Victoria]
She thinks she's better than me.
Because she's married
and has two children,
and no, she's not better than me for that.
Because to be better,
you have to marry someone nice.
Anyone can marry a snake
with an ass like a lady.
[Fernanda] That is her life.
- [Victoria] Maggie Roldán?
- [Fernanda] Maggie Roldán.
It's her life, and her day.
How was your day?
I just told you, I said
I mean, it is my day.
It's a fundamental part of my day.
- Fundamental?
- Fundamental, sure, it's like
Like it's part
of my day.
- [woman] What a sweetheart.
- Oh, yes. No, I was so lucky.
- [woman 1] A great father.
- [woman 2] No.
[Victoria]
Because if she thinks she beat me,
at best, the game continues.
It could go into overtime.
You know?
That's to say that you can't celebrate,
then say, "I won first,"
because there was extra time.
Including penalties.
And I don't even wanna see you. [scoffs]
One kicks, the other kicks,
ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, and that's it.
Didn't win.
[exhales]
Shall I go on with my day?
[Nicolás] Something that will be
beneficial to us all. [chuckles]
Yes.
Huh?
Sure, no. How much can it be?
Alright, I'll call you later.
[door opens]
[swallows]
- Vicky.
- Yes.
- Uh, I'd like to talk to you.
- Yes, hello.
The interior design of the new unit,
is it ready?
It's ready,
It's completely done, yes, yes,
- I designed the whole thing. Stunning.
- Uh-huh, is it ready to be shown?
- Yes, of course, yes.
- Oh. Can we see it right now?
Right now?
Yes, right now.
Yes, yes! Now, now.
I I have the key, I'll take you.
- Let's go.
- Or you take me with you.
Or we can both go separately for
I mean, and we can meet.
If you want. Right there.
- In the
- Yeah, like that. [chuckle]
- [giggles] Yes, yes.
- [chuckles]
[Vicky chuckles]
[chuckles]
[sighs]
[dreamy music playing]
What beautiful work.
What combinations, textures.
- Yes.
- Very bright. Congratulations.
- Yes, it's good.
- Very good.
Thank you.
Do you like the the artwork?
I personally chose everything.
That is, every
every little detail myself.
I don't know if you Can you smell that?
I put a scent, because,
for me, every place,
every single room, every single house
has to have its own particular scent.
That's why I'm using a particular aroma.
But it's one, like, something that
That captures me that way.
Yes, it's very you, right?
Yes. [giggles awkwardly]
- [chuckles]
- Yes, it's very me. So much like me.
Well, talk to Maggie, okay?
So that she can start with viewings.
As is? With no changes?
- Do you wanna change anything?
- No! Well, I like it a lot.
I love it. I mean, you
- Whatever you want, tell me, no problem.
- No, no. I love it.
I love it, really.
Me or the apartment?
[both laughing]
Do you do you get it?
- Of course. Just like that. [laughs]
- Yes, yes.
- I mean, you are lovely. It is lovely
- [Victoria giggles]
How 'bout we go for something to eat?
I mean, for, I don't know,
something nice to eat.
To celebrate.
It's a figure of speech. Right?
No?
No? I mean, forgive me
if I offended you with a proposition.
I'm sorry,
it was just an idea, that's all.
- Yeah
- Are you still single?
[Victoria] What was that?
Was he a womanizer
who was just hitting on me
to feel powerful? Huh?
But who said womanizer?
You said, "womanizer."
That he was a womanizer, uh-huh?
No, I didn't say, "womanizer."
What I think I recall, is that,
from your account during the three
or four sessions you've had here,
you mentioned that he exercised
a level of power by being the boss.
- So, he had
- Maybe I said, "womanizer."
You said, "Mm-hmm," and I interpreted
the "uh-huh" and "mm-hmm" as a "yes."
Let's be straight, he is a womanizer.
We both agree.
I don't know,
maybe I interpreted it that way.
So, for me, I think that just proves
that he didn't ask me out
because he thought I was still with Dany.
You're separated, right?
- I am so separated.
- Ah.
So separated. I mean, I'm so single.
- Ah.
- I am doing great and very single.
You said, "single."
Single, yes.
Separated, single, I don't know.
I don't remember, something like that.
And he stays calm
because he is a gentleman.
Then he says to me,
"Let's go for something to eat."
He makes a move,
but he is a person who, I realize,
is respectful of relationship etiquette.
So, I say, "separated," and he, bam!
He moves in.
What did he do?
Makes his move.
Mm-hmm.
And how was the date for you?
I didn't go, I had to cancel.
[Carolina] Victoria,
we scheduled you coming with me
to this doctor's appointment ages ago.
He's an optometrist, not a doctor.
Have Fermín go with you, Caro.
- Why even have a husband?
- I can't believe you!
I mean, are you going to cancel on me
for a guy you just met?
I can't go alone.
Do you understand
that they will dilate my eyes,
and I'll leave the examination half-blind?
- It isn't a
- [cell phone dings]
Wait.
[playful music]
Leave it, Caro. I'll come with you.
- Vicky.
- [Teresa] She's always been like that.
Even as a young girl.
I mean it. She just lives for men.
Victoria! I don't know what you're doing.
I don't get it, Vicky!
- [knocking on glass]
- [breathing heavily]
[breathing shakily]
I I just have to go
to the bathroom for a second.
- What, are you all right?
- I, uh
I'm not
- I don't feel that well right now.
- Alright, I'll be right here.
[Fernanda]
And what did you feel in that moment?
Like punching him out.
I wanted to punch someone,
because I knew Dani would bounce back,
but to see him like that
"Pure happiness," he wrote.
"Pure happiness," and the asshole
puts a ring to add insult to injury.
An engagement ring. Now he adds emojis!
Then what'd you do next?
You are a low-life piece of shit.
Um, no, it isn't how you think.
Please, let me explain it to you properly.
Ten years by your side!
Putting up with everything!
Throughout your Law degree,
your internship, your post-graduate!
- Throughout all the bullshit.
- Mm.
Getting your clothes ready.
The white rice I cooked with butter.
Remember the diarrhea you had
before every one of your exams?
Yes, I remember, I remember.
It has nothing to do with
what we're talking about.
Yes it does! Because I put faith in us.
Because you asked me to.
I went on holiday, uh, with the boys.
I met Bruna, I fell in love.
I didn't choose to,
I didn't want to hurt anyone,
I didn't want to hurt you.
It just happened.
Why didn't you use your damn phone?
You should have used your damn phone!
I shouldn't have found out
from a shitty post.
Regardless, I was single.
Look, you left me.
You marry the first mutt you come across
after being separated for ten days?
No, don't talk like that
about Bruna, please.
Don't talk to me about her!
Don't tell me her name!
She's with you for money!
I will not let you talk
about my wife like that, okay?
[sighs]
"My wife," he said.
"My wife."
Yes, but you're forgetting
something important that he mentioned.
That you left him.
I didn't leave him.
It's ridiculous that we're not able
to talk face-to-face in person.
We're a disaster.
Just what the hell are we even doing here?
- It's tragic.
- No. It's impossible for me.
I'm with the kids
and Peter is out of town for a work thing.
Hello girls, I'm in Manhattan.
- Hello!
- Hi.
Well, anyway, we have to think
of something for when Debbie gets back.
Yes, it's also my birthday.
Perfect, let's go.
We can have a joint party,
a joint blowout.
We can smoke weed, dance our butts off,
get smashed and drink.
- Save one for me, please.
- Let's go! Count me in. [chuckles]
Hey, what about Melina?
Is she really getting married?
Is she? Meli?
No, not just getting married.
She is so getting married!
[child screaming]
[Lucila] Felipe, please
stop bothering your sister, jeez.
He was her boyfriend for three months,
and he proposed to her.
I'm gonna help her organize everything.
- Oh, did he ask her in
- Not much time.
- In three months?
- [Lucila] A really big blowout.
[Daniel] Hey, honey. What'd ya wanna eat?
Uh I have to go now.
Looks like I have to go eat some supper.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I love you so much.
Send kisses to Melina. Congratulations.
- See ya later, girl!
- Ciao!
I'm sorry, I have to go.
Like, I want something tasty,
but not too spicy.
I dunno, it's Tuesday.
What do you want? What? Milanese?
Fucking lost my appetite.
Huh?
I said it
'cause I wanted to get a reaction.
I said it in anger.
In hatred. In
In what?
Uh, I said it in
- [exhales]
- [Fernanda] Say it.
[Daniel] Why are you saying that?
Melina has a boyfriend who asked her
to marry him almost immediately.
What does that have to do with?
It means I'm the only idiot
with no news or info to share.
- What do you wanna share?
- Something!
Anything, okay? That we're
getting married, that we have kids.
That we're fixing the house. Something.
Of course we'll get married,
but it has to be at the right time.
Look at the mountain of work I have here.
I have a thousand cases.
What do you want? To go on a honeymoon,
come back in minutes, wham-bam, that's it?
"Wham-bam?"
I've been hearing that for years.
I'm sick of it!
Everyone's getting married, apart from me.
Even Manu, who is gay, got married.
There weren't gay marriages around
when we met.
You know the guy had time to protest,
to draft a law, present it,
vote and get married?
I'm here like a dumbass, not married.
- What's the problem if it's later?
- This is the problem!
- This is the problem.
- Stop. Stop!
- See this? See this?
- Stop! Wait!
What is this? See this work?
No one will catch it.
- That's it.
- Your mom's gonna catch it
No one is single anymore, understand?
No one to catch the bouquet!
That's what's wrong, Dany.
You are overreacting.
I mean, I don't know what you're doing.
- And you're wreaking havoc with my work.
- You're right. Your work, yes.
- You're right. That's it.
- Of course I'm right.
[spits]
- There you go. Fine. Let's leave it there.
- Of course
That's it. If we don't get married now,
then let's end it. We're done.
- [tense music]
- What? What are you saying?
- We're done here. I'm done here.
- No, stop.
- Yes, yes.
- No, no, no.
- No, yes, yes, yes.
- No.
- No, yes.
- Vicky, no.
Yes. Dany, yes.
Vicky, wait, no.
- Really?
- Dany, yes.
[Victoria] Alright, I ended it.
[music stops]
I ended it, but at first, he begged me.
Said "please" over and over.
- He went to my mom's house
- Uh, please.
Yes, yes. He went to my house,
begged me please, got on his knees, cried.
There were so many tears.
And after all the posts, that is, look.
January 13th, he posts a family barbecue
three days after we separated.
Barbecue with a face
depressed enough to kill you.
January 18th, there's such a sappy poem,
it's obvious it's for me.
January 19th, another fake sappy poem,
and this one reads,
"If something is for you, let it fly,
and if not, it will come back."
Well, he was wrong there,
because that is so cliché.
- They don't say that in schools anymore.
- Really horrible.
January 22nd, he is on a plane.
All his friends are partying.
You can see he's been crying.
- Depressed.
- See the bags under his eyes? Puffy.
January 25th, sleeping on a deck chair.
- [Fernanda] Hold on, let me see.
- Depressed sleeping.
January 27th, fancy dress,
big party, Dany drunk.
I've never seen Dany drunk in my life.
- Oh, no?
- Not once.
January 29th, boom!
There he is. Gazebo.
He's smiling. You see it here.
He's smiling.
The bimbo in a thong
with a bunch of flowers.
- Justice of the Peace, and married.
- Mm-hmm.
Only four photos ago he was depressed.
Bastard!
Yes, of course, but the important thing
isn't what Dany does, it's what you do.
What is happening with you?
Why are you here like this today?
How did you get like this?
Can I read a bit of the poem
from January 19th
that really makes you want to vomit?
No, no, please. Bad poetry hurts me.
I just can't even listen to it.
- It's really gross.
- Can you get to the point?
[percussive music playing]
- Good morning.
- Okay.
Where are you going?
- To Daniel's. You know I'm going.
- No, no. You can't.
You can't go through, ma'am.
Don't do this. I have to call this in.
What do you mean
"I have to call this in"? I know you.
You've always liked Dani.
What do you mean I like Dany?
I'm married? Look.
Oh, you're married, well, congratulations.
Give me your address.
I'll send you a blender.
- Where are you going, miss?
- Where am I going?
[guard] No, no, no, no.
No, stop! [sighs]
That sounds good. So, to conclude,
Esther hands over to Natalia
the one-bedroom apartment in
Mar del Plata as well as the truck, yeah?
- Yes.
- Perfect, are we in agreement?
You are not gonna hang up the phone on me.
I'm not just some hussy you slept with
- Stop.
- You will listen to what I have to say.
Yes, perfect.
I spent ten long years
like a complete and utter dumbass,
putting up with your life,
your family, your shitty barbecues.
- Your shitty friends' birthdays
- There's clients.
who are a bunch of idiots
[kindly] Hello.
Hello.
- I need you to give me an answer.
- What? What answer?
[exhales anxiously]
- Answer me why.
- Why what?
Why didn't you marry me after ten years,
and then you marry a girl
you've only known for five minutes?
Uh, you left me.
I don't get it, though.
It really hurts me, because
I feel sorry for you.
I feel sorry for myself.
I even left my degree
to support you in yours.
I was going to be an architect.
Then suddenly, no, interior designer, no.
I stopped halfway. I left my degree
to be an interior designer
so that I could have time
to raise children, and have a family
- We thought of names for the little ones.
- Yes.
We went to check out land
for building a house.
I know, I remember.
Is it because she's younger than me?
No I'm working, Vicky.
Is it because she is prettier
and has an amazing ass?
It has nothing to do with that.
Nothing to do with it, Vic. Seriously.
- You're bleeding.
- [cries]
I'm warning you. [cries]
You won't make a good family
by acting on impulse.
[Daniel] No, I know that.
- That isn't how you build a family.
- I know that, I know.
- [cries]
- You're bleeding.
Vicky, you're bleeding.
[bittersweet music playing]
No.
[sniffles]
DANCE URBAN STYLE
- [thwap]
- [gasps]
Ow, what the fu?
Oh, you fucking stupid son of a bitch!
[Victoria] I wanted to see
what she was like.
What do you mean?
I wanted to know who Dany swapped me for.
BARRÉ A TERRE DANCE - BRUNA
TUES & THURS 6:00 TO 8:00
[dynamic music playing]
[Bruna] And we're moving.
That's it, really good. [chuckles]
Hey! Well done!
That's it! There.
Come on, more energy!
Oh, nice!
Beautiful! That's really good.
Are you ready?
Let's start from the beginning, yeah?
Are you ready?
Five, six, seven, eight, and go!
[music continues]
Dance!
Keep going, let's go, keep dancing!
One more time, keep it up.
Hello! Like that, María!
And goodbye. Yay!
Wonderful.
- Thanks.
- Bravo!
- Thanks.
- That's very good. Really great class.
[chuckles]
What's up? Really good.
That's a great class.
- Oh, thanks.
- I'm Vicky.
- Oh, Vicky, I'm Bruna, nice to meet you.
- How are you? You're new, right?
Oh, yes, I just arrived, to be honest.
- Are you also new?
- Not new, I've always been here.
- Anyway
- Oh, great.
An actual dance teacher, right?
- Yeah.
- I mean, real. You're qualified.
Yes, I do a mixture of urban dance
and contemporary, a little classical.
- Yeah, yeah, a classic, a classic.
- Yes.
A little bit of everything
and nothing of anything.
Uh, yes, sure.
And why did you move from Brazil?
I mean, in Brazil there's dancing, right?
There's a lot, and
- There is.
- You came over here.
Yes, it's true,
but I married an Argentinian.
Oh, really?
- Yes.
- Seriously?
- Yes!
- Huge congratulations.
- How lovely.
- Thank you.
That's great, a long time ago?
No. We met, we fell in love,
and we got married. That's it.
- In a flash.
- But it was all so beautiful.
Argentinians are very romantic, right?
Passionate, ah!
If only I'd known
that Argentinians were romantic.
- Same for Brazilians, eh?
- But this is Dany.
- Ah.
- Dany's really romantic.
- Dany is yours, right?
- He dedicates songs, writes poems, notes.
- Writes you poems, really?
- Yes, all the time!
- Poems for you, all the time.
- Yes! He's so romantic.
- That's what I mean.
- Of course, that's why.
- He leaves a note every day.
- So, he leaves a note every day.
Yes, yes.
In bed, on the mirrors, everywhere.
Even in the bathtub!
- He's a keeper.
- Treasure him. What he does is lovely.
Listen, do you wanna go for a coffee?
'Cause you don't have friends, you're new.
I'm your first friend.
Can I invite you for coffee?
- Oh, how lovely!
- [laughs] You're beautiful.
- [cell phone rings]
- Just a minute, and we can get out.
- Take it.
- [Bruna giggles]
Oi, Dany.
- Ah!
- [Bruna laughs]
Dany, I made a friend.
Vicky.
We're going to go and have a coffee. Yes.
I'll be back later.
No.
Yes.
Long hair. Mm-hmm.
No.
She has a pretty face, Dany.
Just a minute,
I'll be right back, then we'll
How? What?
Tell me now.
"That's terrible." "You're crazy."
"There's no hope." Tell me.
That is what you are saying.
Is that how you see yourself?
No.
No.
That's not how I see myself.
And I'm not ashamed either.
Mm, ashamed of what?
Of all those things that I did.
He writes notes to her.
Notes. Little notes. He writes her notes.
Little notes.
Well, things may change.
And if he decides to write,
well, fine, then he writes.
It's something we're never gonna know.
We're never going to find out.
[mischievous music playing]
[exhales]
"I swear I'll never"
That's shitty poetry.
[mischievous music continues]
[door being unlocked]
Oh my God, son of a bitch.
No, Dany, how could I have known
that she's your ex?
- I couldn't have known, either.
- She's crazy.
- [Daniel] No. She isn't crazy.
- Dany, she wanted to be my friend.
She messed things up at your work!
She isn't a bad person. She isn't crazy.
- Crazy.
- She's had a hard life.
[Bruna] She's dangerous.
Don't you see, Dany?
- No.
- She's really dangerous.
- Yes, of course!
- No, no.
- That's why you didn't want to marry her.
- No, no.
- It isn't fear.
- Honestly.
She is someone who is hurting.
Nothing more than that.
- No. Please, really.
- I don't want to talk about her anymore.
[Daniel] I don't want to talk
about her anymore, either.
Let's make this sad day a happy day,
I'd love to. Apart from that, just think.
If she hadn't ever left me,
I would never have met you.
Shut up.
Nor would I have known you either.
- What's this? [chuckles]
- What? [giggles]
[chuckling] What is this?
[soft moaning and kissing]
[Daniel] Mmm. I love you.
- Mm. You drive me crazy.
- [chuckles]
[Daniel] Você me pone maluco.
- Is that how you say it?
- Yes.
She showed up at the class all disheveled.
Like, gum in her hair.
- [Daniel] No
- No? Yes!
- A piece of gum, and dirty.
- Dirty?
Yes. She looked like a porquita.
- What's that?
- A porquita. Yes, a porquita.
- You know? That goes [snorts like a pig]
- Oh, come here, porquita.
Mm!
- [screams]
- What's wrong?
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
- What are you doing here?
- Stop, anyway, calm down. It's all right.
- What are you doing here, please?
- There is an explanation.
- What explanation?
- All right. Relax.
- What explanation?
- Vicky, please.
- Everything's fine.
- It is not. Leave, I'm being serious.
- Let's tally the scores.
Did you call me porquita?
Yes or no? Did you call me porquita?
Porquita? You are a sow.
But you You are a fat hog.
- No, I am not
- You're two pigs.
- Think you're fooling me with your act?
- No.
Do you think you're fooling me?
That you're free, nothing bothers you.
That you're easy-going.
Everything bothers you, my dear.
Otherwise, you would've fallen
for someone who sells caipirinha.
- Vicky.
- But you wanted a lawyer, huh?
Really smart, huh?
- What do you mean?
- The bimbo's smart.
- Found yourself a smart girl.
- [Bruna] Please!
"It doesn't bother me."
- Keep it all. Keep the house.
- She doesn't want anything.
Play at being the lawyer's wife.
Enjoy how I taught him to dress,
how I taught him to fuck.
- He learned nothing!
- Yes, I learned.
- Nothing. Not one thing.
- I don't understand her.
- He's a big lo-ser.
- She knows now.
- A loser.
- That's it.
- Please, you need to go.
- I'm going.
- All right?
- Yes, go, go, bye.
- Look at me, I'm going now.
- Good, perfect.
- Go.
- Come on, seriously.
You are not going to keep my things.
Keep my life. Keep my future husband.
Keep everything, but you're not going
to keep my things that are scattered here.
- Because this painting
- [Daniel] Vicky, not the painting.
This artwork I painted myself.
- Not the painting, Vicky.
- I painted it with my own hands.
[Daniel] It was a present.
I did this painting
with my own hands in another life!
Long before I met this tasteless
stupid fool with no spark.
- [Daniel] I love the painting.
- I painted it, so I'm taking it home.
Please, out of respect
for what we had, go now. Seriously.
- Va, va, va.
- I'm going. "Va, va, va," I'm going.
- But answer my question for me.
- [Daniel exhales]
What does she have?
Vicky.
What does she have?
What do you have with her
that we didn't have?
- What?
- [Daniel] Vicky, it isn't
It isn't better or worse.
It isn't a competition.
Yes, it is a competition!
It is a competition!
It's not a competition.

VICTORIA MORI
AGE 39- ID 29106561
I've had the dress, the cake,
everything chosen for a few years.
Everything.
We were getting married, like, four times.
Then something always happened.
What? I'm not a bad person, am I?
Am I crazy for standing my ground?
For being angry?
[man] No, I'm in the same situation.
I wanna throw all this shit away
and, I don't know, settle down
Yes, yes. We're all like that.
That's how it is.
It's what the whole world wants.
To get married, all of it.
I thought the plan was to marry me.
[man] Seems to me
you're somewhat annoying.
The poor guy saw the door and left.
Well, if that's the case,
if it's that, I'll accept that.
If that's it, why did he get married?
For me, what he saw in you is routine.
The house, the family.
He got tired.
He saw another life and he took it.
No, he loved all of that.
He loved keeping the menu
stuck to the fridge.
He wore a different tie for every day.
He loved it. You said it well.
That's in the past.
He went to Brazil
and discovered a new world.
He swam in the sea. He got drunk.
He met a new young lady
who he slept with right away.
- [Victoria sighs]
- And he said, "This is the life I want."
No.
No, Dany doesn't know what to do
with his freedom. He's an imbecile.
Thanks, huh?
Thanks for calling me an imbecile.
- Really great.
- Oh, hi.
- Thanks.
- What are you doing here?
- I came to get you out.
- Oh, wow. Thank you.
- Wait a minute.
- Guys, I have to go.
The time we've spent together was nice,
but they've come for me.
- Shall we go?
- No, wait. You wanted to talk.
Did you want to know
why I married Bruna instead of you?
- Yes.
- Well, let's talk now, okay?
You left me. When you left me,
I had a very hard time. It was really bad.
Yeah, for 20 days because after 21,
you married someone else.
Whatever you say.
But I was crying on the plane,
I was crying in Brazil.
I was also wondering
why we weren't getting married.
There was always something that made me
put it off, and I didn't understand what.
And when I met Bruna, I got it. That is
you were not in love with me, Vicky.
Yes, I was in love with you.
I was so in love with you.
No, you weren't, and you weren't ever.
You were in love with the idea of us.
You were obsessed with,
uh, the house, the plans, the family.
But when Bruna met me,
she had no idea who I was,
or what I worked as, or anything.
She fell in love with Dany as is.
And I deserve that.
I don't want to be a trophy.
I don't want to be a lifestyle.
I don't want to be a project.
I deserve someone
who loves me for who I am.
And you deserve someone
who loves you for all you have to give.
- Which is a lot.
- Mm.
Forget it. They won't last.
She's not a woman you build a life with.
No, no way.
She's young, she's slim.
She's got me there.
That's fine. I accept that.
But she isn't intelligent, she isn't nice.
She doesn't have anything
that makes you say, "Wow," you know?
Something special. She has nothing.
- Nothing.
- What do you think about what Daniel said?
Not about Bruna, not the others,
not about all the rest.
What's "all the rest"?
Bruna, all your friends.
Your sister, your co-worker,
the one across the street.
This one here, the one over there.
The others.
You are always talking about
what other people have.
And since you started seeing me,
I've never heard you say anything
that you miss about Daniel.
You don't talk about his voice.
About
about anything intimate that you miss.
His touch, his messages,
nothing you both truly shared.
You always talk about
what other people have.
So tell me,
this heartbreak you're feeling,
is it because you're sad,
or because you're envious?
What envy?
What do I have to envy about this little
25-year-old Brazilian young tart?
Nothing. What could I envy in her?
Don't you think
you compete with other women?
[poignant music playing]
No
That you like something
depending on whether someone else has it?
That you value what you have,
depending on if it's better
than what someone else has
or doesn't have?
What was it that infuriated you
when you separated from Daniel?
That one of your friends
was getting married
to her boyfriend of just three months.
Right?
At your sister's wedding,
you lost your voice.
That was a touch of angina that I had.
All right.
It isn't envy. It isn't jealousy.
What is it? You tell me. What is it?
[poignant music continues]
I don't know.
I feel like it's unfair.
That I I do all the right things
but I'm alone.
I'm almost 40 years old and single.
Does it hurt not to be chosen?
Yeah, who wouldn't that hurt?
Who wouldn't be hurt from sitting there,
waiting on a step for someone to show?
Yeah, everyone would.
When were you left
sitting on a step waiting?
I don't know.
It's a figure of speech. Sitting
- A figure of speech?
- An idiom. "Sitting, waiting." It's a
One of the first things you said to me
when you started coming here
was that one day,
you were left sitting on a step
waiting for your dad to come get you,
except he never came back.
Could it be that knowing
you weren't chosen by Daniel,
knowing that he's never
coming back to you,
takes you right back to that place?
Does it take you back to that time
when you were left
waiting for your father?
[sniffles]
Do you want to say anything else?
Yes, go to hell, Fernanda.
[playful music]
Let me get the door.
Yeah, go on by!
Sidewalk's all yours, right?
Yours because you have a stroller,
because you're a mother.
You think you own the street!
[sobs]
[playful music continues]
Oh, my God.
[exhales]
Oh, shit.
[playful music continues]
Shit!
[exhales]
[music stops]
Ugh!
[dog barking]
[knocking]
[Matías] Yeah, push it hard. It's open.
[grunts]
- That's it.
- [Victoria] Are you closed?
[Matías] Yeah,
I don't have anyone in the kitchen.
- [sighs]
- [Matías] You're gonna have to cook.
No, but it It's not that.
I don't need to eat.
I need to use the phone
to call a locksmith to come to my house.
Oh, did your front door break?
No, I don't have my keys. I forgot them.
Doesn't a friend have a copy?
Your mom? Or your dad?
- No one has a copy of my house keys.
- No one?
Nobody. No, no one.
I was told several times.
I'll figure all that out at some point.
Now I need to solve the problem
of getting into my house.
So, if I can make a call,
get a locksmith, and finally get in,
then I can think of who I know,
and give them a set of keys later,
so that I don't have
to pay the locksmith a bunch of cash,
as I'm sure that will definitely happen.
What'd you do to your fingers?
Were you in jail?
Sort of.
Really?
Look, I must've seen you passing by
here in fits of anger, sad, depressed,
dressed up in mini skirts,
shorts, you name it.
But from jail?
I'm shocked.
[chuckles softly] Yeah.
I don't have the money
to pay you for the phone call either.
That is, I might just have
a little bit in my purse, so, uh
Yes, yes, I understand, I understand.
The thing is, I need you
to pay me for the call now.
- Oh.
- Mm.
It's a very small amount, I
No, not really. It's a joke.
[chuckles]
Here's what we'll do.
I'll call a locksmith,
I'll pay him and then one day
when you're passing by, you pay me back.
- Okay? Easier?
- Yes. Much easier.
[line calling]
You're a jailbird.
[traditional Asian music playing]
[huffs]
Hey, the guy I called,
the locksmith, he can be flaky.
He's a cool guy, but flaky.
He told me 60 minutes.
Now, if we both stay quiet,
it's gonna feel like
we've been here for seven years.
So do you wanna kill some time,
and tell me what happened?
[exhaling] Yes.
My boyfriend left me
after ten years together
and married someone else.
- Mm.
- I am single at 39, almost 40.
I went to his work for an explanation,
and he threw me out.
I let myself into his house.
Before that, I'd been
to an urban dance class.
She called the police, I was arrested.
If I'm honest, I was a pretty good dancer,
because I wasn't dressed for it.
And I gave it my all.
I think I left my keys at his place.
His key is on the same keychain as mine.
I had my keys. I think I left them there.
After that, I went to a therapist.
She told me I was envious
and a bad friend.
Oh my.
But, wait. It was all on the same day?
The same. It was today.
Oh, I'm impressed.
[chuckles]
[Matías chuckles]
Is what the therapist said true?
That you're envious?
I'm not envious.
It makes me upset
that my ex promised me
for ten years that we'd get married,
except we never did.
Then he goes and marries a total stranger.
And why do you wanna get hitched?
- What do you mean "why"?
- Yes, get married, what for?
To be married.
To be married.
- Supposedly, it's about my dad.
- What do you mean?
I don't know. The therapist told me
that it could be something to do with him.
- Mm.
- Because my father left my mom
when I was only seven years old.
So they ended up agreeing
that we would stay with him
on the weekends.
And he promised
to take us to a movie that Sunday.
I waited for him in front of my house
with my sister and he never came.
And we thought every car
that turned the corner was him.
And it never was.
We never saw him again.
[Matías] And your mom?
She worked all day. She worked so much.
And we just kind of grew up like that,
in the wild, both alone.
I made my sister breakfast, everything.
- We ate cereal all day.
- All day.
- I didn't know how to cook.
- Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner.
All cereal.
- Full board with cereal.
- Full board with cereal.
[Victoria] Do you remember that box?
The cereal box?
[Matías] Of course I remember.
Well, I would always look
at the drawing of that family.
And I wanted exactly that.
I felt like that was happiness.
That tight-knit family, happy, beautiful.
CHIPI TRIX
NEW FLAVOR
So you wanted a family
like the one drawn on the cereal box?
- The same as that family?
- I did.
Do I seem really stupid?
- No.
- No, yes, because you made that face.
- No, no, no.
- No, no, no. No, I mean yes, yes.
Yes, because you made that face,
"Isn't she stupid?"
It's been rough for you.
You can shout, stomp your feet, cry.
You have every reason to do that.
Now, what I don't understand is,
who said that getting married
is a good thing, right?
I don't know, I mean,
you learned it from your mom.
Who told you that it's better
to keep a family all together?
Yes, but I wanted that family
that didn't have as many struggles.
Now I'm not gonna have it.
Why not?
Because it doesn't make any sense.
Don't you see?
Even if I went out today
and met a guy at this very moment,
and fell head over heels in love,
right now,
let's say I convince the guy to marry me.
In a year, a year and a half,
I'm having a baby with all the luck
- Let's say.
- Let's say.
At this age, it isn't easy.
At 45 years,
I'm at kindergarten and they say,
"Hey, little man,
Grandma's here to take you."
Don't you see?
It doesn't add up. I'm screwed.
Dad screwed me up, I can't win.
And, yes, I am envious.
I'm envious that everyone
has what I want except me.
- Am I a bad person?
- No,
No.
- No, I'm not?
- No.
Besides, it's one silly thing.
There's a solution. It's easy.
There is no solution. I don't have time.
- I told you. Time just isn't on my side.
- Give me give me your left hand.
- [Matías] There's a so-lu-tion.
- [Victoria] Let's see.
- [Matías] Look, come on.
- [chuckles]
There you go. Ready?
- All set.
- [giggles]
Now, it's your turn
to put mine on me, if you please.
- [giggles]
- Here it is.
Perfect, and
- All done!
- We are formally married.
- Husband and wife, yeah?
- Yes.
And now, like a married man who is yours,
I'm gonna grab a lockpick,
this stick, this bottle opener.
I'm gonna go "click, click,"
open the door for you, give it a nudge,
and we'll go inside
because that guy isn't coming.
- All right?
- All right.
- Ready to go?
- Let's go.

[sighs]
- [Matías] Perfect.
- [chuckles]
Let me know if you need anything.
I do plumbing, painting, I open locks
- Anything.
- Gimme a call.
Ready.
- Thank you.
- Sure thing.
I haven't laughed in quite a while.
Well, I'm glad.
I'm glad to have made you laugh,
not that you haven't laughed in a while.
[chuckling]
Well.
See you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Oh, listen.
- Yeah?
Send our youngest to a speech therapist.
The teacher told me
you can't understand anything he says.
Take the other one who's fighting
out of soccer.
[chuckles] Of course.
If there's no traffic,
I'll be back here by 9:00, love.
- Okay.
- See you.
- Get some rest.
- Bye.
