[distant ticking in the background]
Oh, fuck.
[sighs]
[inhales sharply]
[scratches skin with fingernails]
[bicycle bell rings]
- [people chattering indistinctly]
- [cars passing nearby]
[car approaches and stops]
[car window opens]
They sent you?
I just finished my shift.
Those are the pills.
I also brought you a spray
and cream for the itching.
- Okay.
- [car horn honks]
Call me if you need anything.
I had chickenpox as a kid.
Thanks.
[sighs]
[doorbell rings]
[Inés] We'll only stay for a little bit.
[gasps]
- [Lina] Hi.
- Oh, hi
God, you look awful.
[Lina] A bit, yes.
Why don't you stand behind the door?
I'm not sure if I had it.
- Okay.
- [Inés] Sorry.
[Lina] No, no. It's okay.
We made you some soup. I'll leave it here.
Grab it when we leave, okay?
[Lina] Okay.
How are you?
Well
[breathes heavily]
I'm covered in bumps.
- [Inés] And does it itch a lot?
- Yeah.
- [Inés] Do you have a fever?
- Yes, that too.
Do you have bumps on your tongue?
My mom said you can even get them there.
Mm, yes.
[Inés] Well, watch a series, a movie,
keep yourself distracted. Okay?
- [Lina sobbing] Yes.
- What's wrong?
[sobbing] Nothing, it's just that
it hurts even when I speak.
[whispers] She's a mess.
She's not doing well.
- [Lina] What are you gonna do?
- What?
- What are you going to do?
- [Inés] We're going to have a drink.
Have fun.
[whispers] Pedro, you go ahead.
- You sure?
- Yes, go ahead, I'll stay for a bit.
- I'll see you later, okay?
- Okay.
- Sorry.
- Bye, Lina.
- [Inés] Lini.
- [sighs] What?
[Inés] It's like a flashback
from Sunday school.
This whole thing with the door. [chuckles]
Um, I used to always confess
the same thing.
I'd say that I fought with my sister.
I'd always make something up,
I didn't want to tell the truth.
[chuckles]
[Inés] Yeah.
[Lina cries]
I'm not doing well, Inés.
- Lina?
- [Lina] I'm down here.
I just realized that we aren't
That this is real
That Nico and I aren't
getting back together.
And And
[crying] And the truth is,
I don't know what to do.
[cries]
I miss the time when I was happy, and
[crying] That's gone now.
[Inés] It hasn't been very long, Lini.
This is normal.
Little by little, you'll start
feeling better. You'll recover.
Just take it easy, okay?
[crying] We were together for years, and
We've been through so much that
I'm always thinking about it.
I keep remembering,
and replaying it all in my mind on a loop
[sighs, sobs]
[sobbing]
- [Inés] Don't cry
- I can't.
[Inés] No.
[sobbing]
Everyone leaves in the end, Inés.
[sobbing]
[Inés] Lini,
open the door, come on.
[sobbing] I don't know. And I also think,
"Maybe it's me."
"There must be
something wrong with me." You know?
[Inés] Don't say that.
There's nothing wrong with you.
There's nothing wrong with you.
I'm here with you. Okay?
I'm here. Listen. Hi!
[laughs] You're so silly.
[cries]
[Inés] Calm down.
There's nothing wrong with you.
[cries]
[sighs] Ouch.
[groans gently]
[groans]
[Lina's mom, on tablet] Ready, set Whoa!
Pedal fast! Go, go, go!
- Well done, Lina! Come on!
- [chuckles]
- [young Lina] Oh, oh! [whimpers]
- [Lina's mom] Pedal hard!
[young Lina whimpers] You let me go!
- But you let go of me! [cries]
- [Lina chuckles]
But you did it.
You let go of me!
- You did it for two seconds.
- But you let me go!
It's okay. Come on.
- Wave at Dad, over there, to the camera.
- [whimpering] No, no.
- Not to the camera.
- [Lina's mom] Okay.
- [laughs]
- [young Lina] I really hurt myself.
- [Lina's mom] Where?
- [young Lina] On my butt!
- [Lina's mom] On your butt?
- [young Lina] Yes!
- [young Lina cries]
- [Lina's mom] You're okay.
If we fall again, what do we have to do?
We try again. Okay?
- [young Lina] Can we go back there now?
- [Lina's mom] Sure.
And if we fall again, what will we do?
- We'll get back on the bike
- [young Lina] And try again!
[Lina's mom] That's the spirit!
[Lina breathes deeply] Ouch.
[exhales]
[high-pitched tone plays]
[introspective music plays]
[birds calling in the distance]
Are you hungry?
[Nico] Mm.
Yes.
Shall we?
- [Lina] I don't know what I want.
- [Nico] Hmm.
Some croquettes?
Hi. Ready to order?
Uh, no. What do you recommend?
[waiter] Well, what would you like?
Something for a special day.
[waiter] Uh-huh.
- Well
- We're all dressed up and everything. Mm?
- [waiter] Yes.
- We came straight from church.
- [waiter] Oh.
- We want a real feast.
[waiter] Huh. Well, we have
a two-pound rib-eye steak.
It's perfect for two.
Uh, we also have some wild sea bass,
it came in today and it's delicious.
What about the special menu?
[waiter] Yes. We have a special menu
for weddings and first communions.
[chuckles]
And can you make it a special menu
for burials and funerals?
[waiter] Oh.
Well,
I'll ask.
- [Nico] Mm.
- [sad music plays]
[Nico scoffs]
[clicks tongue] Bathroom break.
[knocks on door]
Nico.
[Nico exhales]
How did you do it?
[breathes out]
[Lina] I remember that
right after my mom died,
I went on the end-of-year school trip.
And while I was there,
it felt like time stood still.
I couldn't stop thinking about her.
And the good memories
made me feel sad, and
And the bad ones made me feel even sadder.
People kept telling me
it was all a matter of time.
That I had to hang in there.
But the months went by and
In the end, I realized I was the one
who wasn't letting time go by.
So I decided to start thinking about her.
I'd think about things
like when she'd wake me up in the morning
and her hands smelled like cigarettes.
[chuckles]
Or when she'd sing to me just to annoy me,
because she knew I hated it. [laughs]
But every day,
I'd think of her one minute less.
And that would make
one minute less of sorrow.
You never told me about that.
Because I had forgotten.
