He loves me
He loves me not
I love him a lot
With all I've got
In every petal
I see his face
Telling me he loves me not
He loves me
He loves me
He loves me
He loves me not
Get Prince Andres.
I'll see you downstairs.
Get Prince Federico.
I'll get Princess Margarita.
See you downstairs.
Here. We have to go.
It's going to be all right, sweetie.
Don't worry, my love. It's alright.
Is everyone alright?
-Yeah.
- We must go.
Come on! Hurry.
Please, hurry up.
Let's go, Bruna.
Thanks for helping us, Ada.
It's the least I could do.
Are you sure there are people
waiting in Paris?
My friend said I can trust them.
What about Maximo and Florencia?
They're going to find you
as soon as they can.
The priority is getting Andres,
Federico and Margarita out of here,
until it's safe.
Don't let anyone find out
they're the Princes
and Princess of Krikoragán.
Not even your friend.
-Don't worry.
-Okay.
-Take care, Ada.
-Yes.
Ada, I'll see you soon.
See you soon.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY
When a civil war erupted in Krikoragán,
they got the princes and princess out
for their protection.
They'd meet later in Paris,
with my sister Florencia
and Max, her husband,
but they never made it there.
I understand. Tell me about your sister.
You never talk about her.
-That question wasn't approved.
-That's okay.
I never talk about her
because it just breaks
my heart to think that,
just when she'd married
her prince charming,
when she finally got
the family she'd dreamed of,
with her three children,
when she was living
her very own fairy tale,
it all came tumbling down,
and no one heard from them again,
not Flor, Max or the little ones.
I left no stone unturned.
I did the impossible to find Flor,
to find out what had happened
with her babies,
until one night, three years later
-Go.
-You go.
My sister always believed
little fairies watched over her,
and I believe those fairies
guided this man to us.
I'm Severino Montfleur,
from Krikoragán's Secret Service.
Have you heard from Florencia?
Is Thistle dead?
The whereabouts of both her
and the king are unknown.
Have the children turned up?
ORPHANAGE
But is that Margarita? Flor's daughter?
No, she's not.
But she's an orphan girl,
with a resemblance to your sister,
and of the same age.
I don't I don't understand.
I think you understand perfectly.
I propose that you and I tell a story,
in which destiny guided you,
and you found Princess Margarita.
I'm going to make sure
that when they do the DNA test,
the results say that little girl
is Margarita.
No, that's not right.
It's a crime.
And you don't like crimes, right?
Well, in this crime, everyone benefits.
The Krikoragán royalty would be happy,
because they found their heir.
That little orphan girl
would find a family.
And, because you're her aunt,
you would by default become
her legal guardian,
and you'd get to manage her fortune.
And for over ten years now,
I've lived with the most beautiful gift
life could've given me.
Margarita.
Magu. Maggie. Daisy, as I call her.
Come here, Daisy, my love.
She's the little princess
who turned my life
into an actual fairy tale.
No! Due to a security issue,
I'd prefer not to have
any photos of her taken.
You didn't tell them?
Of course I told them!
Enough talking about the past!
Let's talk about the present.
Let's talk about the future.
Let's talk about all this.
When people ask me
what Hangar Soho means to me,
I say that it's my happy place.
It's a very special place,
where many things come to life.
Creativity is like a little fire,
and we must keep the flame burning.
I'm like the wind
that blows and fans that flame.
I'm a facilitator.
I want those kids to be
the best version of themselves.
She's in your suite.
How many times do I have
to tell you that I can't help you?
Do you not understand,
or are you senile?
Don't act all busy with me, sweetheart.
Don't flatter yourself for this circus.
Just shut up and find a hairdresser
to fix that rat's nest
you have on top of your head.
As if you looked great wearing
that dress made of plastic bags.
-What do you want?
-What else? Idiot.
You're right. Wrong question.
How much do you want?
I want respect.
I shouldn't have to make an appointment
to see my daughter.
I'm your mother,
and you should worship me.
-I want 200,000.
-What?
I gave you an allowance.
You're not getting another dime.
Please. Excuse me.
I need this to put up with that lie.
You can fool everyone else, my love,
but I'm your mother.
We both know
that money isn't yours.
Mother.
I bought you an apartment.
I give you a monthly allowance.
What else do you want?
The same luxury that you have.
If you're a queen,
I want to be the Queen Mother.
I cannot live
in a three-room apartment.
-I don't deserve it.
-No.
Cut on expenses. Save some money.
Get yourself a boyfriend.
Sell something.
There's no more money.
Careful. That lie of yours
can quickly come to an end,
about the fake Margarita you have here.
Don't you dare threaten me.
Not me. I would never.
But life is messed up,
and things always fall in their place.
What if Margarita
suddenly walks through that door?
Margarita is dead and buried.
Margarita is gone.
Margarita is no longer around.
Margarita does not exist.
Yes, my name is Margarita.
Margarita like the Princess of England,
Margarita of Austria.
Like that one drink
named after a Margarita.
Anyway, there are Margaritas everywhere.
Even in Korea,
where I lived for many years.
You know how they say Margarita?
Deiji kkoch.
Excuse me.
Will someone please shut her up?
Cut!
Please, she's unbearable!
We told you three times. You can't talk.
You're an extra,
a person who doesn't talk.
You want me to be quiet
like a mannequin?
Pretend to talk and to laugh,
but don't actually do it.
Show her.
With all due respect,
it seems like a waste to bring me here
just to play mime.
-I'm an actress and I sing.
-Get her out.
No, you haven't heard me sing.
Let me help you.
This set is kind of a downer.
Listen.
He loves me
What a thought
I love him a lot
With all I've got
In every petal
I see his face
He loves me, loves me, loves me
What a thought
Production, get her out.
I don't want to see her on set.
I'm so sorry, Única.
No, don't apologize.
Just get her off the set.
No, wait. I'm just grabbing my purse.
That's so rude.
She's leaving. Guys, we're running late.
Have some coffee,
and we'll do one more take.
You know what?
Why'd they ask for my skills,
if I can't do anything?
I act, I sing, I dance,
I speak eight languages,
I cook, ride horses,
I know taekwondo, origami, ikebana.
I know everything Eastern.
And yet you bring me here
to play a mime?
-Are you done?
-No.
I have more to say,
but I'll say it like an extra.
Great. Grab your things and go home.
My money first.
I deserve a full day's work.
We saw your paperwork,
and you lied about your age.
You forged your parents signatures.
You're a minor and an orphan.
Are you implying that I would
Yes, all of that.
So go away before I call Child Services.
Wait, what? No!
This is an outrage.
You'll be hearing from my lawyers.
-I am outraged! I'm out.
-I'm dialing.
I am outraged!
She's going.
Hello, Ada.
-Where are you going?
-I'm taking Jean Paul for a walk.
Not alone, sweetheart.
Paolo, please, go with them.
Of course. Whenever you want, miss.
You can call me by my name.
Let's avoid
crossing boundaries, sweetheart.
Grandma Malala! Hi.
You're so sweet.
But don't call me Grandma, please.
I'm neither your grandmother,
nor anything of yours.
Thank you very much for the visit. Bye.
It's always a pleasure.
I choked.
Daisy, dear,
you look just like your mother,
whoever she is.
-What did you say?
-Who said?
I said we have to look
for the poor girl's mother.
You'd like that, right?
One day the truth will come out.
Thank you.
I'm taking Jean Paul for a walk.
Of course.
Come on, Rocco.
You there.
Tell the journalist to come
so we can finish the interview.
Ms. Delfina, I'm not your personal maid.
I am Princess Margarita's governess.
If you have errands to run,
do them yourself.
Thank you!
I know you're there! Open up!
I know you can hear me.
If you don't pay rent today, you're out!
Can you believe extras can't talk?
Incredibile!
I can't believe something that absurd.
So? Did you get the money?
I can't hear you.
You could totally
be an extra if you wanted.
I am so annoyed.
The money. Did you get it?
Right, the money.
No, it's one injustice after another.
If we don't pay, she's throwing us out.
Don't worry.
I'm going to check the FairyApp.
Alright, when you get here,
don't come in through the front door,
climb the window.
She won't let you in.
You got it.
What do you wish today?
I'd like to get a job.
I have to go that way.
To the left.
No, to the left.
Right. No, just keep going, yeah.
Jean Paul!
Thank you!
-Are you okay?
-Yeah, it's just a scratch.
Where were you going?
Why would you run away
from me, Jean Paul?
Is his name Jean Paul?
And does he speak French?
Do you speak French, Jean Paul?
Thank you for saving him.
You're welcome.
I'm Margarita, and you?
So am I!
Goodness, I had such a fabulous time.
It's been a while since I've done
such an interesting interview.
-Thank you so much.
-No, thank you.
Didn't this house belong to your fiancé
Federico Fritzenwalden?
This is the house
I shared with my sister,
and that's important to me.
Florencia loved this house,
and we were very happy here.
In fact, Daisy was born here.
Then there was the fire,
which was actually very strange,
because we never found out
if it was an accident,
or if it was provoked.
Then I found out
that the house was for sale,
so I bought it and had it reconstructed.
I just wanted Daisy
to have her mother's energy close.
-Beautiful story, of course.
-Thank you.
-It's been a pleasure.
-The pleasure's all mine.
They announced the finalists
for the Patron of the Future award.
When? What do you mean?
-They just told me.
-Who are they?
-It's Benito Benitez.
-Yeah.
Marita Ponce,
Alicia and Leticia Uriburu.
-What?
-Alicia and Leticia.
What?
How exciting that they thought
of them after everything.
It's so well deserved, right?
That they've been nominated.
We were surprised
that you weren't nominated.
-Who? Me?
-We were confident you would.
No.
These people have been working
in this for many years,
and I'm basically just starting out.
I have my whole life ahead of me,
so goodbye.
I can't believe
your name is also Margarita.
-Yes, all my life.
-They call me Daisy, and you?
Margarita, Maggie, Mar,
beautiful, gorgeous, cutie.
-Miss Daisy, we have to get going.
-Okay.
Are you that important?
That you've got bodyguards?
Or are you you in danger?
No, they work for my aunt.
They keep me company.
Well, nice to meet you, namesake.
So nice to meet you, namesake.
Alicia and Leticia Uriburu.
Tell me why did they deserve
to be nominated?
Why? Because they have a street?
And Benito Benitez?
He looks like a meme!
And Marita Ponce!
Why the hell Marita Ponce?
Tell me what did those idiots do
to get nominated, Yamila?
I can't explain. I don't know.
Who cares about you?
I'm asking you to explain to me
why wasn't I nominated
after everything I did.
Maybe it's an image issue?
Let's hire a publicist! That's it!
Excuse me,
but what about my image?
Nothing, but maybe
they see you as too successful.
-Too big, you know?
-How?
-Big like great.
-Great, yeah.
-Like you're above those awards.
-Maybe.
Would you give an award to the queen?
No! She's the one who gives awards!
They see me so sweet
And I am so kind
Unreachable
Like a star I shine
Nothing can hurt me
I'm like ice, so cold
I just smile bright
And heaven's doors unfold
I am the sorceress
Envied for my art
A kind-hearted queen
Disguised in every part
My desires
Always take the lead
I'm as sweet
As a candy treat
Be cautious
Because in tales
Villains never get
A happy ending
Be cautious
Because in tales
Villains never get
A happy ending
Queen of all
Ruler of all
I can handle everything
And more
I dream of riches
Abundant treasures
It'll never be enough for me
Queen of everything
Ruler of all
I can handle everything
And more, more, more
I dream of riches
Abundant treasures
It'll never be enough for me
Who was the genius
that had the brilliant idea
of picking that photo
when I am already wearing red?
This is hell!
Get me a cover
that'll get people talking,
a different cover,
or you're out of here.
Get out!
What do I do?
Get me the names
of the ten best image consultants.
Now!
SCHOOL OF LAW
AND POLITICAL SCIENCE
This one.
Close it.
I don't know why we use the door.
This is way more fun.
Lower your voice.
What are you doing?
Reading, Uncle.
Take your feet off the bed.
We're having dinner in 15 minutes.
-Got it.
-What's the matter?
Hey.
You seem off.
What is it, Uncle? I'm fine.
What a day, my friend.
Not easy, but well
That just means
good days are coming.
Am I right, Thistle?
Oui, of course.
Shut up. She's going to hear us.
She's not going to hear us, Pipe.
Her television is so loud.
Turn on some lights.
This is depressing.
And cheer up, Pipe.
Getting sad doesn't solve anything.
We don't have jobs. We're broke.
They're evicting us,
and we'll end up in the orphanage again.
There's no food.
What do you mean?
There was a can of something,
with those other things we bought.
Yeah, and we're fully stocked.
That's okay.
I'm going to use this
to prepare a delicacy.
Don't you get tired
of being so optimistic?
Why would I? It's the best.
I mean, if I'm so darn positive,
it's to balance your pessimism.
"The night is always darker
when dawn is near, Margarita."
That's what Pierre used to tell me
when I worried.
He taught me to be optimistic.
Did I tell you we met?
Well, I was very young
when suddenly Anieta died.
Finish packing your things.
We have to go.
-Where are we going?
-It's up to the family court.
But you can't stay here alone.
So let's go.
I had such a beautiful life.
We had a beautiful house,
I had a beautiful room,
all to myself.
The view was beautiful.
Anieta was all I had in the world.
I never knew about my parents.
Without her,
my life had became so dark.
But, in the middle of that dark night,
came the dawn.
And that light
It was so bright.
And, just like that, from the sky,
Pierre appeared.
Hi there, Margarita.
It's going to be a beautiful day.
This girl isn't going to an orphanage.
This girl is not alone.
Anieta appointed me
as her legal guardian
in case of something happening to her.
Are you ready?
You're a genius.
I can't believe this.
I thought you were exaggerating,
like those stories.
I'm not exaggerating. It's all true.
Well, but you do spice it up a bit,
just like this food.
Well, but the more ingredients
a story has,
the better it is, isn't it?
Well, but
But with you,
it's hard to know what is true.
Who's to tell what's true?
I lived it like that. I felt it.
To me he was like an angel,
who came at night
and brightened my life.
It's my story.
That's why I tell it like that.
-Just eat.
-Okay.
The only problem is when you tell it
to deceive someone else.
Then, it really is just a story.
Then I did a master's degree
in New Communication Technologies
I'm sorry, but I stopped listening
halfway through.
I couldn't care less
about what you studied,
or about your experience,
which is unverifiable anyway.
Okay. What do you care about?
I like what you did
with that boring politician,
without charisma,
that no one knew about.
In two months you reinvented him
and made him win.
-You're getting into politics?
-No.
No, but for some reason,
the Patron of the Future's committee
won't consider me.
And I need you
to put me on their radar,
and to put me on their agenda.
Why do you want to win?
I just want it. Can you do it?
I can't sell something
you're not, Delfina.
I don't agree.
Things are never as they seem.
Things are how you make them seem.
That's how the world works.
No, those lies never last.
Sooner or later,
they end up falling apart.
Listen, I talk from experience.
Truth is the only thing
that can stand the test of time.
No.
I wanted a publicist, not a lecture,
or I would've called a priest.
Thank you for everything. Bye.
Excuse me.
And I didn't mean to lecture you.
But when it comes to clients,
I'd rather work with the truth.
They don't take you into account
because of the image you're projecting.
You live in this huge mansion,
all by yourself.
Even when you're surrounded,
you still look lonely.
You're perceived as cold and distant.
They'd rather give the prize
to someone friendlier,
someone warmer,
who looks like one of us.
Have a good night.
What can I do to change
the perception they have of me?
There we go.
Now this is different.
Well, we worked all night.
Yes, and it shows.
It has a soul and a concept.
I'm going to do it here.
I think we totally
achieved something.
Get the streaming going.
-So?
-She will be leaving soon.
She knows we're here.
She's not leaving.
We need a shower
if we want to get a job.
I love it when you wake up positive.
Listen to my EmotiFairies.
You need it more than I do.
I just want to take a shower,
and get out of here.
I never meant
To hurt you
It's something
I can't do
You're the princess I've dreamed of
I keep no more secrets
This is my truth
I hope to find you
To love you again
HANGAR SOHO IS LIVE
Delfina Santillan is live!
She's the coolest!
Yes, I know you're surprised.
I know you were waiting
for the special edition of the magazine.
Soon you'll have unlimited access
to all the stories,
which are spectacular.
But first, I have an announcement.
I know many young people
love what we do here.
Our endless search for the most original
and most creative ideas.
Everything that happens here is a trend,
and do you know why?
Because we talk about what you like.
We talk about your interests.
Perhaps you've felt
like you have the talent,
the vision,
and even the mission to be here,
but you never really had the chance.
Well, this is your chance.
I'm giving out of scholarships
to young artists,
with a unique patronage project.
If you're a musician, an actor,
painter or a digital artist,
we are waiting for you here.
I'm selecting the best projects,
the most creative ones,
and we're all going to live
and work here,
in my house, for a while.
You see?
The dawn,
the light and the darkest hour.
You see how things
always turn around, Pipe?
Stop it. Listen.
Don't waste time.
Come to Hangar Soho.
If you feel that one
of the scholarships is yours,
come here and claim it.
Your future is here. I'll be waiting.
So, how was I?
Sweet, kind, warm and sensitive?
Yes, actually. You were pretty warm.
-Congrats.
-So warm!
I told you being and appearing
are the same thing.
Auntie, I just saw the live stream
and I loved it.
It's such a great idea.
Just one question. Can I participate?
You don't need a scholarship.
But if have an idea, like a project,
can I participate?
I don't know,
you might get surprised.
Listen, it wouldn't be ethical,
but if you have an amazing project,
of course I'll help you.
-Thanks!
-Please, don't.
That's why people like tales.
Because, in tales,
the protagonist's life changes.
Please, just let her shower.
She has a job interview.
Absolutely not.
Nobody bathes or sleeps here
without paying rent.
Please.
Doesn't matter.
I'll shower on the way there.
That's what we all want.
For life to change and transform.
If you don't pay me,
you're not getting in!
Pay what you owe!
You're nuts! You can't show up wet!
Who cares, Pipe?
Delfina said the scholarship is mine!
Tales aren't just made of facts.
They're what we remember.
Stop!
Just wait.
Come, Pipe.
Pipe, what are you doing?
Are you okay?
I'm perfectly fine.
You're going in like that?
What about your pitch?
I'm my own pitch.
What?
I felt a thingy-ma-jig.
What?
A jurgly. A fliquiti.
Someone's been knocking
on the door for hours,
yet no one answered.
Everyone's always ready
to collect their salary,
but there's no one to open a door.
This is absurd.
Is this a ghost house or something?
A story is something that happened,
but that still lives.
But a tale,
it's how we tell that story.
Who are you?
So, telling a tale
is like discovering your own story.
Red hearts
Not broken hearts
Filled with love so vast
Dreaming of a better world at last
Blackened hearts
Are just asleep
So wounded
They feel fear deep
For they are hurt
And steeped
I'm a red heart
I fall in love
I will never
Never give up
The black hearts sleep
They dream
They dream in black
For that heart
That heart
That grows
With love's embrace
For that red heart
Shining heart
That walks
Towards the sun's grace
Heart, my heart
Don't be caught in their fray
Heart, my heart
For love they cannot convey
Red hearts
Are full of life
They've healed from wounds and pain
Now in happiness
They remain
So whole and bright
Your heart that's made of fire
Always you'll put in sight
To love with true desire
Seek your own way
To shine stronger is your fate
You think you don't exist
That you are out of view
Im your mirror, I insist
I see the real you
I know it can be tough
Your heart is pure enough
That heart so whole and true
For that heart
That heart
That grows
With love's embrace
For that red heart
Shining heart
That walks
Towards the sun's grace
Heart, my heart
Don't be caught in their fray
Heart, my heart
For love they can not convey
In a world that's dark and cold
You won't find light to guide you
Only in pure hearts of gold
You'll shine bright if you stay true
For that red heart
Loving heart
Growing larger
With love's start
For that heart
Red heart
Walking towards
The sun's bright gold
For that heart
That heart
Growing larger
With love's start
For that heart
Red heart
Walking towards
The sun's bright gold
Heart, my heart
Don't be caught in their fray
Heart, my heart
For love they cannot convey
Don't be caught in their fray
For love they cannot convey
