MAKE YOUR STORY COUN
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
He loves me
He loves me
He loves me
He loves me not
Who would've thought?
My sister-in-law, the Queen.
This all scares me, Erasmus.
Fear is not worthy of a queen.
Nor a prince.
-Long live the King!
-Long live the King!
Stop!
Just wait.
Come on, Pipe!
Pipe, what are you doing?
Are you okay?
I'm perfectly fine.
THE QUEEN OF GARBAGE
You?
Delfina Santillan
opened the door for me!
Thank you for this opportunity.
And even if you don't pick me,
as you said on your live stream,
participating is a victory.
Well, I want to win,
so that scholarship's already mine.
The Hangar Soho is around the corner.
This is my home.
Warm hearted, sweet and nice.
That's what people need to see.
Sweetheart, I'm sorry.
Maybe I wasn't quite clear.
Go out through that gate, turn left,
and you'll see a line
of people waiting to enter the Hangar.
Thank you, Delfy! You're the best!
Did you see who that was, Pipe?
She's so sweet, and simple and humble.
Not to mention how pretty she is.
Be careful with that garbage.
It's quite sneaky.
Her skin!
Her hair, her look,
her face and the dress she had on!
This is it.
-This is it.
-There's so many people!
Pipe, that's a lot of people.
That means
many are going to be left out.
Well, but life
always gives us more chances.
You should also pitch something, Pips.
Me? No, I'd never.
But you dance really well,
and besides
I close my eyes
And gaze at the sky
Brilliant blue
Like my hair's tie
Angels dance with daisies
I'm like them
But not as bright
If he loves me not
I'll fall apart
But if he loves me
I'll open my heart
He loves me
He loves me not
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
He loves me
He loves me not
And as the petals softly fall
Through tears
I lose you, after all
The daisies' bloom
No longer glows
Only roses with thorns
It shows
All it takes is a wink
For me to run to his brink
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
I love him a lot
With all I've got
In every petal
I see his face
He loves me, loves me, loves me
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
He loves me
Petal's dance
So bright
With delight
I love Margarita
A petal's song
So sweet
I love you
My heartbeat
I love Margarita
A petal's dance
So bright
With delight
I love Margarita
Hello! You're Margarita, and me?
I'm Merlin.
Hi, Margarita.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
You're already up.
Here's your breakfast.
This one or that?
Which one I like,
or which one your aunt will like?
Which one is cuter?
None of them. Depends on who it's for.
Ada, don't start. Just pick one.
Which one would most people
say is the cuter one?
You're the cutest one.
Yes, but we have to be careful
not to get our hopes up.
You know your aunt.
What about her?
She's volatile and disconcerting.
She said I could participate,
Ada, and I want to be prepared.
Are you sure she said that?
Of course. She said,
"It would be unethical to choose you,
but you have my full support."
Daisy, but your aunt didn't mean
what you think she meant.
You're making me nervous.
See, your aunt has a way to say things.
I think she meant she'll support you
in whatever you want to do,
but not in the contest.
So should I not go?
Why do I have to be left out?
Who said you'll be left out?
I just meant that, to get in,
we'll have to use a few tricks.
Come here.
It's impressive
how many people are here.
It hasn't been an hour
since Delfina announced the scholarship,
and the line goes around the block.
Try to speak more naturally.
You're holding the microphone too hard.
Just act naturally. Okay?
Try not to move your feet so much.
I need this to look good. All right?
It's impressive! The line is huge!
Adorable.
Well, get a drone,
so we can show the participants.
-Sure, it's done.
-Be careful with that.
Too many people mean a lot of people
will be left out and disappointed.
Life's like that, Salo.
You don't always get what you want.
But a patron of the future
has to be inclusive and not selective.
All right.
Now, if you'll join us,
we're gonna go outside to interview
some of the applicants.
Who's this airhead saying "outside"
while doing this?
She said, "If you'll join us."
What is that?
Is she hosting a show in the 80's?
We chose her for the reporting.
You don't like her?
We chose her? Who did?
I'm Cata, and I'm live from Hangar Soho.
Let's meet the applicants.
-What's your name?
-Hello! Julieta!
Poor girl. I think she's out.
Hey, you! Don't be upset.
I'm sure you're really talented.
Maybe you got anxious.
Delfy is a genius.
There might be a second round,
so no one will be left out.
Just give her some time.
-They're doing interviews.
-Yeah!
And it's live from Delfina's page!
How awesome!
It's dangerous, Mar!
We ran away from an orphanage.
What if they see us?
Do you remember the computers there?
They probably don't have internet.
Just relax. They don't even know
how to use the computers.
Who could possibly watch the live stream?
The principal?
Gladys, the Owl woman?
Don't worry, Pipe.
It's going to be okay.
Hello! Hi.
I'm Margarita, I'm so grateful
for this opportunity.
Delfy, I love you!
-That girl again.
-What?
What? Nothing.
-Is everything ready?
-Yeah.
The interviews are about to begin.
I think it's best for you not to appear
during this stage.
-That's fine.
-Is it?
Yes.
-Are you seeing someone?
-Excuse me.
I'm working on your profile.
It's for the press.
No. I'm not seeing anyone.
-Has it been long?
-Does it matter?
It does. Have you ever been married?
I was pretty close once,
but you know
-But what?
-But, luckily, I didn't.
Isn't it for my profile?
Then write it down.
I'm a woman
that's dedicated to her passion,
an independent woman,
and write this down in capital letters.
"I'm a woman who doesn't need
a man to feel fulfilled."
So welcome to the 21st century.
I didn't mean to offend you.
-I'm just trying to get to know you.
-Sorry for letting you down.
Hello, I'm Única.
That snobby girl is
from yesterday's commercial.
What is your real name?
How old are you? Where are you from?
I'm Única. That's all you need to know.
My name says it all.
She's pretty.
It's easy being pretty,
but being interesting is hard, Pipe.
Hi, I'm Electric Fish.
I'm sixteen.
Hello, I'm Julieta.
My dream is to bring laughter
and justice to the world.
My name is Benedicto. I'm 16.
Hey! I'm Zeki, and I'm 17.
I'm Romeo.
I'm an artist,
and I'm on the autism spectrum.
Hello, I'm Otto. I'm 18.
My name is Sasha. I'm 14 years old.
You're 14? But the rules say 16.
Hello, I'm Alaska. I'm 18 years old.
What else?
My poetry can inspire kids in the Hangar
and around the world.
I really love music, and I also dance.
I love textile and clothing design.
My pronouns are they and them.
So adorable! The way they dress.
I bet they're going to win.
I'm Mei, and I want you to know that,
even if you don't choose me,
I really appreciate the opportunity,
so thank you.
I don't buy what losers say
about being grateful
just for participating.
Sorry, but with all due respect,
there're no rules about it.
-Yes, there is. Right?
-No.
That kid is such a genius.
He's super smart. I bet he beats us all.
My dream is to sing, dance and act.
Did I say it right?
-Is there anything else, Romeo?
-No.
I like cinema, digital art,
and I create magical worlds,
where I'm happy.
Magical worlds! I love it.
People don't remember who participated.
They remember who won.
You didn't say your name.
-Thank you, Rey.
-Thank you.
He's full of himself.
A hottie for sure. That much is true.
But a bit of humbleness, please!
He's a hottie?
But isn't that cheating, Ada?
Cheating is for cheaters.
This is just a trick. Like magic.
-Don't hurt him!
-Let me go.
Who are you? You can't be here.
-I got lost.
-Is that right?
I'm a contestant. I'm sorry.
Miss?
I saw her, and I wanted to ask
Are you Princess Margarita?
Daisy, yeah.
Hi, Daisy.
Enough! Take the lost boy
to where he belongs.
Just go! Lost
Let's focus.
Wave goodbye like a princess.
Focus on this.
You need to prepare for the audition.
I'll fill your application. Go on.
M? Your name is M?
Well, no. Of course not.
But since everyone here is named King,
Única, Splendid, I'm the Best,
I also wanted a cool name.
Whatever, tell me what you do.
How long have you got?
I might be 17,
but I've lived more than a 170 year old.
Let's keep it short. So, what do you do?
What don't I do? I'm multi-faceted.
-Who do you live with?
-My friend Pipe.
Just the two of you?
I mean, you're minors.
Pipe and I have a lot in common.
The most important one
is that we're both orphans.
No! Don't say: "Poor thing."
Everyone has their own thing.
Nothing is perfect.
We didn't have parents,
but we had a lot of other things.
Such as?
The orphanage where we met
is simply amazing.
-It's not like that!
-Lazy!
There were nice people
taking care of us.
There were loving people
that supported us no matter what.
So you both live at an orphanage?
Well, the thing is
People at the orphanage
were so amazing,
that when we told them our dreams,
they got us a really nice place
to stay together
Come on,
I know you're in there, come out!
with loving people
who treat us like their children.
I want you out!
Well, I'm glad they treat you so well.
Thank you.
Thanks. Well, next we have M.
She just had her turn.
-Come on, people.
-My name is also M.
You're exposing us.
It's live. They're going to see you.
There's nothing to worry about.
Tell us about yourself.
There's really nothing special about me.
Typical middle class family.
Mom, Dad, my brother and I.
What do you study?
Yes. I study Arts,
at the public university.
Get this into your head.
I don't plan to study Law,
or Political Science.
I'm going to be a musician.
You are the Prince of Krikoragán.
One day you will be king.
That's what you need to prepare for.
Merlin, let's go.
Let's just hope
your audition isn't "typical".
The scholarships are
for extraordinary people.
Sorry, guys. It wasn't recording.
Don't worry about it.
Everyone gather, please.
Delfina wants to talk to you.
Let's go.
Dreamers of the world, what a thrill.
Thank you so much
for your participation.
You are all so amazing,
talented and lovely.
I wish I could tell you
there are a million scholarships,
but, unfortunately, that's not the case.
Stay tuned.
Today you'll receive the details
for the next audition.
And don't worry
if you don't get selected.
Don't lose your faith,
your strength and excitement.
This is just one more step
towards your dreams,
and dreams must be pursued.
So that's it.
Get ready,
because tomorrow will be an amazing day.
What are you doing? You scared me.
Why use the door?
No, a paper flew out the window.
Did you find it, M?
-How do you know?
-My sister's friend saw you.
-Don't tell anyone.
-Of course.
I'll cover for you,
like I did with your uncle.
But tell me, why'd you go?
Okay, I'll tell you.
Don't you think it's funny
we both applied as M?
What if it's not a coincidence,
but a sign?
-What could it mean?
-Nothing.
You wanted to be cool,
but that guy
I don't know. He's hiding something.
-I don't like him.
-You're being really mean.
But what makes you say that?
I don't know.
He was hiding from the cameras,
and looking around.
I just don't like him.
Well, maybe he's shy.
Maybe you like him.
Spare me.
We're not kids anymore, Pipe.
Shut up, please.
-What's it say?
-"Pay your overdue balance."
If the official is of higher rank,
where should they sit?
On the left or right?
On the left or right?
On the left?
That depends on whether
the king or queen are present.
If not Daisy!
You're not paying attention.
Ada, can we leave the etiquette class
for another day?
No.
You'll get the message. Don't worry.
How can you be sure?
I put your application in the file.
Did you happen to see, by any chance,
who was selected?
By any chance?
-Anyone in particular?
-No.
I just meant in general.
You're smitten with that boy,
and I don't like him a bit.
Why not? You don't even know him.
He called you a "princess."
He knows you,
which means something's up.
When something
doesn't sit right with me,
I don't like it.
So I'll never get to go out with a boy,
because I'm a princess?
Daisy, nobody here knows you,
but he knew perfectly well who you are.
Why is that?
Understand?
-I don't like it.
-"I don't like it." Sure.
Margarita lives there.
My father dethroned hers.
She should be the heir to the throne.
Not me.
So?
I'm in.
I'm on to the next stage, Ada! I got it!
-They're going to hear.
-I don't care!
Let them hear! I got the scholarship!
You still have to audition.
Have you decided what to do?
Of course! Make coffee.
It's going to be a long night.
-Why is that?
-I got the scholarship.
-I got it.
-You got it.
Get that box.
No.
The landlady.
See? I bet she heard us!
No, don't worry. I got some money.
I'll pay the rest tomorrow.
When did you get the money?
You think you're the only one
with talent?
-Fine. Let's go.
-Come on.
Well, well, well.
We finally found the fugitives.
Mr. Rinualdo! Mrs. Owl Face!
What did you call me?
-I don't get it.
-How we found you?
Apparently, the girl did an audition,
and gave this address.
That was easy. Playtime's over.
-Let's get going.
-No.
Don't make me have
the police officer handcuff you.
No.
No.
Why don't we calm down
and have a chat?
I don't have time for this. Officer.
Go! Mar, get that scholarship.
No! She's getting away!
Get her, officer!
Margarita.
Adri.
How are you, sweetie?
Not great. Can I stay with you?
Yes, of course.
I wouldn't leave you on your own.
Don't worry.
When I heard about the scholarships,
I imagined the Hangar would be
like Noah's Ark for artists.
If I'm getting on the ark,
I'll have to bring some species with me.
I'm a plastic artist,
and I sculpt creatures.
Yeah.
But he's on the autism spectrum, Delfy.
I don't think he'd be a good fit.
The Patron of the Future
must be inclusive.
If I wake up in a bad mood
Because my boyfriend didn't call
The adventure is about to begin
You have to play the game
You can't miss
I've been so lonely
I can feel life calling out to me
Deep inside
No more excuses
You have to get out
It's time to break free
To dance and jump
I wish I knew a way
For you to look at me
Just once
Come here
Come and get it
Just look
Can't you see
There's so much to discover?
You know it
Don't be naive
To live a lie
The world around you
Is gray and cynic
So my heart keeps on racing
Lost, with no clear path
The only thing I carry
Is love
That's me
I'm my own abyss
I'd be your guy
I'd feel so immortal
Make your own strength
And obey the king
Faceless costumes
Paper masks
No eyes, no soul
No blood, no tears
Just floating
In such tempestuous skies
I lose myself
In deep waters
You know it
Don't you know it?
You know it
You really do
Too well
What is Daisy doing here?
How could you do something like that?
You said I could.
No, I told you it wouldn't be ethical
for you to participate.
You made the whole contest look bad.
People vote while they're auditioning,
and well, she got more votes than most.
Because they don't know
she's my niece, Salo.
People will think it was a fraud.
Years taking care of your image,
no one has ever seen a photo of you,
and you expose yourself?
I can't hide forever.
If we don't let her,
people are going to be upset.
People will be really upset.
Honestly, she was brilliant.
Congratulations.
Don't congratulate her.
Don't you understand she defied me?
What were you two doing?
How didn't you see it?
Ada! It was Ada.
I saw her acting suspicious.
I don't feel well.
Seriously, I don't feel good about this.
I'm sorry, Auntie.
I just wanted to participate,
like any other girl.
But you're not like other girls, honey.
Go on.
Now what?
People tend to value honesty.
You should tell the truth.
Let people vote on it.
We'll decide it later.
Let's continue with the auditions.
You're far from home
And you want to fly
But there are no signs
So you don't try
I search for you
And I say
You should come back
Because love
You'll never lack
If you wait for me
I'll return
If you call for me
I'll be there
If you seek for me
I will stay
If you call for me
I'll be there
Here I am, again
His skill level is truly spectacular.
There were many brilliant moments.
There's at least six
that are really excellent.
Some are a little weak,
but we can eliminate them later.
Are you looking forward to that?
-It's a contest.
-Enough.
It's a scholarship, Yamila.
The concept is different.
It's to help and empower, not eliminate.
Are all the contestants done?
Anyone else?
-They're all done.
-Okay.
It's my turn!
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
So? What'd you think
of the beggar's audition?
Awful.
But I guess people like
seeing that crap.
Hello, I'm Mei.
I just wanted to tell you
that I really loved your audition.
Yes, I think it was one of the best.
-You're humble!
-I'm not humble. I'm just honest.
I think you're very pale.
Hi! What a surprise to see you here.
It's my namesake.
I knew you looked familiar.
You were amazing.
You were amazing.
Everyone's talking about your audition.
I guess it wasn't bad.
But many others were also so great.
You're in.
I just loved what you did.
-Me? Thanks.
-Yes.
In my opinion,
the best one was that girl.
Yeah, it was impressive.
-She was good.
-Amazing.
I love kawaii.
You know what kawaii is?
Obviously, I lived in Korea,
and spent a long time in Japan.
Really?
Yeah. What you did was so amazing.
-Thanks.
-You're so in.
I'd really love to, but technically,
I shouldn't be participating.
Delfina is my aunt, so it's unethical.
You're Delfina's niece?
You're Princess Margarita?
Don't scream.
So what should I call you?
Your highness?
Should I do a "reverberation"?
-You mean a reverence?
-Yeah.
Don't be silly.
I'm not the princess of anything.
I'd like to thank
everyone who participated.
You're all so talented,
creative and charismatic.
To those who aren't chosen today,
I know that life will give you
another great chance somewhere else.
Before revealing
the list of those chosen,
I want to address a difficult topic,
and it's about someone
I love very much.
I'm not going to say she cheated,
because there is no rule.
She did do something
that seems unethical to me,
and that is that my niece Daisy,
whom I love very dearly.
She participated in the contest
without my knowledge.
However, I must admit she did amazing.
She was spectacular,
and everyone loved it.
I propose we put it up for a vote.
You'll be the ones to decide
if my niece can participate or not.
In case you decide
that she can participate,
my idea is to increase
the number of scholarships,
so more artists will have
even more chances.
While we're here,
Sasha found a loophole in our rules,
and the truth is
people loved what you did,
we all loved you,
so if your family allows,
you'll be the first.
He'll sign whatever.
Very well, welcome then.
It's time to reveal the list
of those that have been chosen.
Única.
Zeki.
Romeo.
Otto.
Mei.
Rey.
M.
That M, the gentleman.
Can you please get on stage
for a moment?
What you did was extremely creative,
and so spectacular.
I'd like to hear you sing another song.
Is that okay?
Of course!
Maybe a ballad,
to show another side of yourself?
Yes, of course.
Very well. Thank you.
I don't know who composed this song,
or who sang it first.
When I was small,
I lived with a woman
who was like an aunt to me.
She was very loving and sweet.
She was an angel.
My angel.
When she died,
I had to live somewhere else,
so I wanted to take
something of hers with me
so I'd always have her close.
Going through her things,
I found something that was very old,
from old times, it was a CD.
This song was on that CD.
It's called "Why?"
I watch raindrops
Streaming down my windowpane
Knowing all will remain
Just the same come tomorrow
The sun will rise at last
The moon will shine so bright
The river's flow
Will hold steadfast
And mountains
Won't fall from height
Why do I lose my words?
Imprisoned by your gaze
Why does everything seem distant?
Why without you
There's nothing I see?
Why are there no fairies?
No princes or dreams
Why does it all feel like lies?
Why without you
Life loses its gleam?
Life loses its gleam
-What is your name?
-Margarita.
What you did was beautiful.
But, unfortunately,
there's no place for you here.
There isn't?
I'm sorry.
Why do I lose my words?
Imprisoned by your gaze
Why does everything seem distant?
Why without you
There's nothing I see?
Why are there no fairies?
You go away
And then, you appear
I look for you
But you're not there
At night
I think of you
And sometimes
I can't get through
This game is so insane
I don't want to play again
Nor be the one who cries
And searches for you
Even knowing
You won't be there too
This is not a game
And all is real
I know how much I love you
And sometimes I can't deal
I don't want to lose you
Nor make you cry
I dream awake
Of seeing you nearby
I dream
That you will arrive
If you want to hurt me
I won't deny
I don't know how to defend myself
From someone like you
Someone who keeps secrets
Lies and stories too
And makes me suffer
If you want to hurt me
Here I am
Come to me
I never meant to hurt you
It's something I can't do
You're the princess I've dreamed of
My heart's one and only love
I keep no more secrets
I confess
This is my truth
Nothing less
I hope to find you
My star
To love you again
Wherever you are
This isn't a game we play
It's so real
In every way
I know how much I care
But, sometimes
I'm lost in despair
I don't want to lose you
Or see you shed a tear
I daydream
Of catching your sight
I dream
Of you here tonight
If you want to hurt me
You can go ahead
How can I defend myself
From someone like you?
Keeping secrets
Lies and tales
Making me suffer
If you want to hurt me
Here I am
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
