An Ugly, Comfortable Shoe

1
You, there.
- You can leave the little zipper inside.
- Ooh!
Makes it a challenge to breathe.
- Is there a size up?
- It's a vintage collection piece.
- It's the only one. So, no.
- Gotcha.
[terminal beeps]
- I'll take it, I'll take it.
- Maybe intermittent fasting?
- When is the wedding?
- Today.
[terminal beeps]
- Insufficient funds.
- Oh, no
Wait, please try these.
If you put a little on each one
No, this will totally work.
This will work, yes.
Uh is this the price?
- Yes.
- How about? Oh. Oh, no. That's fine.
Let me give it a kiss. Try again.
- Didn't work.
- This one?
- [terminal beeps]
- No.
It's just really hard to breathe.
[beeps]
- It went through.
- Hey! That's right!
- Amazing.
- Great.
There we go. Now, you're mine.
- That wasn't all of it.
- I have to ring you up for the rest.
- I just thought
- For the rest right here.
Idiot. I celebrated too soon.
- Alright. Here we go.
- Fine.
- I can pay after I get out of this. Yes?
- Fine.
- Perfect.
- I'll be right there. Thank you.
- [terminal beeps]
- Done.
- Ah!
- All set.
- All done.
- Enjoy the dress.
Thank you! Goodbye.
ENVIOUS
It's a very special day. Very special.
A friend's getting married,
there's a party.
But a little bittersweet, yeah?
No. I finally have someone
to bring along to this one.
Mm, but you've already done that.
- You went to several weddings with Daniel.
- Oh
- You also went with Matías.
- Oh, right, but Daniel was just okay.
He didn't surprise anyone.
Matías wasn't for real.
We had fun, but Matías isn't
It wasn't really real.
He's my friend, I don't know, no.
[food sizzling]
[Silvia] Hello.
What are you doing here? You okay?
- Yes.
- Hi, Mom.
I didn't call you beforehand.
I didn't want to bother you.
- Is everything alright? One minute.
- Yes. I know you're always busy.
Just a minute. Mauro!
Here. To the lady's place, okay?
- You okay?
- It's been six days since I saw Luis.
- His phone is switched off.
- He's off gambling. Like always.
I'm really worried, though.
It's different with Nicolás.
He's an ace in the hole.
Tell me. How so?
Because I won.
- When I left Dani, I won.
- [crowd cheering]
When he turned up with
a 24-year-old Brazilian, he won.
When Nicolás was going to take me
to the wedding, it looked like I'd won.
That fell through, and Dani
turns it around at the last minute.
- I go with Matías, it's a draw. See?
- [whistle blowing]
Explain that.
Like a draw with with life.
Because I'm with Nicolás now,
who is a much better partner than Bruna,
so, that way, I win.
No.
- [laughs]
- Wow. You look so beautiful.
- Wow!
- [giggles]
You're absolutely beautiful!
Alright, it's no big deal.
- You look good.
- I have a gift for you.
Really? No!
Here.
- It's a tie.
- Yes, it's a tie.
- I never wear one.
- That's why.
- Oh, that's why, you mean
- I got you one. Exactly.
- He should have a tie, and here it is!
- Alright.
- Should I put it on now?
- Everything looks good on you.
I just can't stop.
I can't stop thinking about him.
Mom, stop overthinking it.
You overthink everything.
I know. I'm sorry.
[awkward music playing]
[Silvia] Do you know her?
Yes, yes.
It's just a girl from this neighborhood.
- Pretty girl.
- Uh-huh.
[Victoria] You understand?
I see that look on your face,
and it makes me think you're one of those.
- I know.
- One of what?
You think when a relationship ends,
both people lose.
Or they win.
[percussive music playing]
No, Dani lost.
Conclusively.
[makes low-pitched noise and laughs]
Look, right there.
I set up a circuit for jogging.
Ten, fifteen kilometers.
Got a mobile app that counts
my steps, heart rate, calories burned
[his words are buried
under ethereal music]
[church bell tolls]
[priest] Do you come freely
and voluntarily to be married?
- Yes!
- Yes!
Do you promise to love and respect
one another for the rest of your lives?
- Yes!
- Yes. [giggles]
Sorry, uh
[clears throat] Pardon me.
- Is something wrong?
- Uh
[church bell tolling]
[celestial music playing]
[inhales]
[priest] Victoria,
this moment really should be yours.
- [chuckles nervously]
- [priest laughs]
Yes, I'm asking you to
stand right here with Nicolás,
so this ceremony can move forward.
Victoria, you and Nicolás
have to be here too.
- Come forward!
- What's there to say?
Yeah, come on, you two!
This is also their moment.
This has to be their moment!
- [Débora] Oh my God!
- [priest] Yes, yes, yes.
[giggles nervously]
- Well, if the priest says so.
- Yes, girl! Come on!
- [laughter]
- [solemn organ music playing]
Oh, I just felt it.
- Now, it is time.
- It is.
Now, have you all come freely
before us to be married?
- Yes, completely.
- Um
Yes.
Do you promise to respect
and to love one another all your lives?
Of course! I swear to God.
Wonderful.
Then may man not separate
what God has united.
- You may kiss her now.
- I love you.
[crowd cheering]
[applause]
Come on now!
[Débora] Come here! Kiss the bride!
Oh, thank you! Woo!
[horn honks loudly]
What's the matter with you, sleepyhead?!
[exhales]
[giggles awkwardly]
But are you going to that wedding
to be with friends,
or just to impress?
You now have a boyfriend
whom you regard as attractive.
Attractive, sexy, successful.
He travels. He even free-dives.
Free-dives!
- Let's sit up front so we can see.
- You sure?
- Yes.
- [chuckles]
- Here, here. Here.
- All right.
Yeah.
Here.
- What a coincidence!
- How's it going?
- You alright?
- This is awkward.
- Super awkward.
- Yeah.
- Well, this is my boyfriend, Nicolás.
- Oh, how do you do?
- Allow me to introduce you.
- Pleased to meet you.
- Hello, Dani, how are you?
- Vicky.
- This is Dani, my ex partner.
- Hi!
This is his current wife, Brenda.
- Bruna.
- That's right.
- Mm-hm.
- Feeling alright? Your face is a bit
Two seconds in the sun
and I go red straight away.
- True.
- Yes, yes, but it's fine.
You've given yourself a cut on your nose.
What happened?
Yes, some minor scratches, but
Really. It looks bad, but it doesn't hurt.
- Yes, it looks real serious.
- Yeah.
He was bicycling. He took a wrong turn.
He fell, and, well
- Too much riding!
- Oh, yeah.
- All those kilometers.
- What are we gonna do with this fella?
- Yes! [laughs]
- Don't worry. No one got hurt.
- The new Dani, I mean
- It's an adventure. I'm into new things.
- That's great.
- Yes, I'm really getting into it.
- Congratulations. How nice.
- Thanks. Thank you.
What about your friend?
- Yes. I'll see Debbie now.
- Sure.
I wanted to introduce you to my boyfriend.
- You said that already.
- Oh, oh, yes.
The second one.
- Right.
- He also plays lots of sports.
- Ah, wow.
- He's super sporty. I don't know, cycling?
- Yes, yes, yes.
- Oh!
Oh, that one too? [giggles]
- [chuckles]
- He does it all.
He does it all.
- Wow.
- Cycling, running, oh, and free-diving.
It's when you dive deep down,
and you hold your breath.
- No tanks, nothing.
- Free-diving.
- What is it called?
- Free-diving.
- Yeah, free-diving.
- That's super interesting.
It's incredible. He's so good
at free-diving, let me tell you.
- Go see your friend.
- Yes, I'm going.
Are you staying?
Alright, good luck. Bye, my love.
- Go on.
- Goodbye. Love you.
- I'll be right back.
- Alright.
- So, you bike?
- Yes.
- Stationary?
- No, no. Moving.
Oh, really? Like mountains?
- Just roads for now, but it's good.
- Oh, right.
Yes, yes.
Victoria, um,
during this period of your treatment,
you were actually
starting to make progress.
Yes.
Step by step and with a lot of effort,
you were climbing this ladder.
And it's important that you register that.
- Yes.
- So you can protect it.
Or else, you'll lose
what you achieved so far.
Like taking the elevator
back down to the ground floor.
But that's not it.
I don't know what you're on about.
I am on the staircase.
Going forward, going up, and up, and up.
Remember how I was when I came here?
I was crying, depressed,
obsessed with Dani.
- You remember?
- I remember it clearly.
- Look how I am now.
- How are you?
Just look.
[lighthearted music playing]
Refreshed.
Energetic, relaxed, at peace.
At peace with myself. With a boyfriend.
Enter serenely.
Come in slowly. Enjoy it. Enjoy it.
Enjoy your moment.
Don't let anything spoil it.
- It's a unique moment. You are never
- [door opens]
Oh my gosh!
You're late, Victoria.
Sorry. I was late squeezing
into an extremely tight dress.
- But it's on now.
- You are ridiculous.
Why do you torture yourself
by dressing like that?
- All that's missing is a corset.
- [Victoria] I'm wearing one.
- A corset?
- Yes, it holds my whole tummy area.
But it's worth
every second of lost oxygen.
Because out there,
I just saw Dani, he looks so awful.
- [laughs]
- Are you serious?
All burned and scraped. Just awful.
He looks like a monster next to Nicolás.
Thank God for this absolute miracle!
Thank you!
- Right, yeah.
- Honey, hon.
[gasps] Oh.
- No.
- [Lucila] Mm.
- Most beautiful bride I've ever seen.
- Just look at this beauty.
- No, no, no, you are a-
- This princess.
So, how are you? How do you feel?
- [Lucila] She's nervous.
- [Débora] A little
I'll confess I am too.
It's bringing back a flood of memories.
Of course, honey.
So I'm going to get a drink.
Can I get you one?
How am I gonna drink? I'm pregnant.
I feel crazy. A pregnancy
and a wedding is a bad combination.
Have a drink.
I drank during all my pregnancies.
- Seriously?
- [Lucila] Yes, it's all right.
I'm also worried that the party's first
and the legal wedding is afterwards.
Why not the wedding first
and the party afterwards?
It was a matter of timing
but in the end, the result is the same.
- It doesn't matter the order.
- What's important is we have a big party.
And we're going to dance, have champagne
and get smashed like there's no tomorrow.
You are gonna forget
all the shit from your wedding.
We'll do the Rio Carnival celebration,
we're going to make fun of Dani
- Come with me to the bathroom.
- Sure. Yes, of course.
Careful with your dress, honey.
- I'll lift it up.
- [Lucila] If she vomits
Don't talk about that!
- She's all over the place.
- [Lucila] Let's toast, ladies.
I didn't know you were with Vicky. I ran
into her to a wedding with another guy.
- I was so confused.
- Yeah, but you know Vicky.
- She can't go alone.
- I know all about that.
She really likes
setting up a home together.
- Building the relationship, traditions.
- Think so?
- Oh, yeah.
- Is that so?
- I think so.
- Mm.
Maybe she changed
or she's transformed, evolved, you know?
Oh, no, no.
She was born for all that stuff.
Did she tell you about the dreams she had?
I've been holding my tummy in
for two hours.
So thanks for bringing me here. All good.
There. Alright, tell me. What is it?
I think that
I don't feel well, I mean, I'm gonna
I'm gonna faint,
I'm gonna be sick at the same time
No. No, you're so beautiful.
You just look nervous.
It's all right, it's normal,
it happens to all brides.
Well, I don't know.
I don't know because I'm gonna have to
I have to read these, um
- Your vows?
- That, yes.
But I, but I can't get the words out.
I'm-like My hands won't stop sweating.
It's too much.
Debbie, it's all right.
Don't say your vows.
You're nervous?
Don't read the vows. Forget it.
Say something nice to him,
something beautiful, that's it. Done.
- Gimme your hands. We'll breathe together.
- Breathe?
We're gonna breathe.
You breathe, actually.
I can't in this dress.
Just breathe. I'm here.
[moans]
If you get nervous,
and you don't want to speak, then don't.
Be silent, completely silent.
Just say, "Yes, I do." That's all.
[exhales] I don't know if I'm ready
to get married.
[awkward music playing]
Did I say I was ready for this?
Relax, Débora. You're just nervous.
How about I get you wine
or something stronger?
No, no, I don't.
I don't want wine,
or family, or children right now.
When did you ever hear me say
that I wanted to have children?
Or any of it, I [breathes shakily]
I'm not ready for this. [breathes shakily]
I'm not doing this. This is not
[Fernanda] We'll end here today.
- Wait. What time is it? I have no idea.
- Let's end here today.
- I'll see you out.
- You know what's bothering you?
That I beat you too.
That's why you're throwing me out.
You thought Nicolás was a psychopath,
that he was exploiting my vulnerability,
my desire, and now look at us.
We're a couple now.
So much for that degree, huh?
You get my friends' names wrong.
You say "Karina."
That's not her name! Who is Karina?
Who's Karina? Show me your hands.
You're missing a ring.
You straighten your hair, don't you?
It'd look better with curls.
I asked you ten times how old you are.
What does it cost you to say
45, 50, 73? Why not say it?
We have to end, I'm afraid.
In just 15 days, you could be in New York
with a green card in one hand
and a bagel in the other,
while ice-skating in Central Park.
Would you just listen to me?
I don't want to move to the United States!
- You wanna stay?
- Yeah!
- Watch the dollar increase?
- Sure.
Yes? While you lose power
in the summer? Perfect then.
That's why you can't not get married.
Talk with your husband and stay!
Stop saying that!
Don't say husband again!
I don't want to get married!
Call him what you want,
call him whatever, Débora.
David is a good man,
he earns good money, he loves you,
he screws you, end of story.
I know what he has to offer,
but it isn't what I'm looking for!
But you can't stand him up now.
He'll be humiliated in front of everyone!
Why are you trying to make me feel worse?
What do you want me to do?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Debbie.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
It just breaks my heart.
You're ruining your life.
- You're going to regret this!
- That is how you feel.
I still don't want to get married now!
I won't go through with it.
[panting]
- Okay.
- Fine.
- [Débora exhales]
- Okay.
[breathes heavily]
[exhales]
Don't do it for David, do it for me.
[percussive music playing]
Get married.
You have to, I'm begging you, please.
I've never brought
an attractive man with me to a party.
He's interesting. Rubs Dani's nose in it,
that he shouldn't have let me go.
That he really messed up.
It's the first time I can win,
that I can beat him.
Please, don't take that away.
I need this right now!
- No, I'm going to find Caro.
- I'm begging you.
You want me to get on my knees?
I'll get down.
What're you doing? Vicky, stop!
I can't even get down on my knees
with this shitty dress.
Please, please, just get married.
Please go through with it!
Please, please, please, please, please.
Marry David. Oh, no! I got it.
I got it. Listen. This is perfect.
Cancel the civil ceremony,
then you're not really getting married.
But have the party at least.
Have the party, I'm begging you.
What's taking you so long?
Well, she doesn't want to get married.
Oh, no, for fuck's sake.
I swear, I don't want to judge you,
but I'd love to be able to understand.
You won't understand, Lucila.
You'll never understand me.
You married the man of your dreams at 25.
- You have everything!
- [scoffs]
But you ridicule my kids
and call my husband a crook.
'Cause it makes me so angry, that's why.
Because some have so much
and others so little.
Because some of us
do all the right things.
Everything right.
And we never get anything.
Not even a shitty party.
Victoria, the fact that Debbie
is throwing away her marriage,
does not mean
that you are never going to get married.
Life doesn't work like that.
[Victoria] I know, Caro. I'm not stupid.
I want this party.
I need it to happen right now.
Why are you so obsessed with the party?
What don't you understand, Meli?
It's Vicky, being Vicky.
Debbie's already decided.
She's distraught.
She's in despair.
She's sad, but no! Vicky.
She is much more sad than Debbie,
because Debbie wants
to call the whole thing off.
So Debbie's going to ruin an event
that's rightfully Vicky's!
Yes, the party's mine too!
It's mine too. I've been waiting
for something like this to finally happen!
I've waited forever!
I've endured Dani for ten years.
He has nothing, but he was stable.
He was stable.
He came from a good family,
he is a lawyer.
He would've been just an amazing father.
- Yeah? So what?
- He left me, Débora.
He left me!
And he didn't just leave me.
He was putting it off for ages,
while everyone else was getting married.
Like when you buy
an ugly shoe that's comfortable.
- You've done that.
- Right.
You don't buy yourself the beautiful shoe.
You know, the sparkly one?
You don't buy it, and then,
the ugly shoe starts hurting your leg.
Understand?
I stayed with that dingbat,
hoping for children, family, all in vain.
Yeah, but look at you now.
You have a partner. You are with Nicolás.
That means you're doing well.
You should enjoy it.
I'm enjoying how ugly Dani looks.
[laughs]
- Forget about Dani!
- He's an absolute train wreck.
Your boyfriend is hot.
Which is exactly what you want.
And he's successful. Enjoy it!
And for the first time in my life,
I picked a fun guy to bring to a wedding.
- Please, Debbie.
- Oh, God.
Oh, please Debbie.
I need to
To make them both jealous
of everything that I have.
Can't you understand why I want this?
No.
[Carolina] Well, look.
- Please.
- Debbie. Debbie Debbie is going to
- No.
- consider this whole situation.
Meanwhile, you're going
to look me in the eye,
and we're going to breathe,
like when we were kids, alright?
- Yes.
- Look at me.
Let's breathe together.
I can't breathe.
This dress is way too tight for that.
- Oh, I'll undo it for you.
- Yes, just unfasten me.
- [moans]
- There. It's loosened.
[moans] Oh, yes!
[crying] It's really upsetting.
- When you opened it
- Yes, because you
- Come here, come here.
- Oh, God!
[Victoria sobbing]
- I love you so much, Caro.
- You too, Vicky.
She is busy with planning holidays,
trips with friends, Tahiti.
Could you please go and find Vicky?
She is not feeling great.
- Why not?
- Go on. It's nothing serious.
- Really.
- Huh?
Tell me what's happening.
She's been delayed, unfortunately.
- [police siren blaring]
- [tires screeching]
I'd like to see Debbie.
What? No. In her dress? Are you crazy?
It's bad luck for the groom
to see the bride.
[indistinct police radio chatter]
We're almost ready, really.
In a few minutes, it's going to be
the best day of your life.
- Hey, just relax.
- [doors open]
- Police!
- [people gasp]
[intense music playing]
Armando Salías, alias Peter.
We've a warrant for your arrest.
- [knocking on door]
- What?
It's Nicolás.
Is Vicky with you in there?
- No.
- Yes.
No. Don't let him see me.
I need to look refreshed.
We'll stay here long enough
for Dani to really see.
- Really? What's he gonna see?
- That I won.
- What?
- That he married someone else, but I won.
Girls, sorry to interrupt, but there is
something bad going down here with Lucila.
Everyone, please come.
- Come with me!
- No.
- No, you're making a mistake.
- I'll explain.
- What does that mean?
- My lawyers will let you know.
- You crazy?
- They'll reach out.
But what's going on?
- I'll explain.
- Why're you cuffing his hands?
- Just trust me, please.
- Pedro, no!
What the hell is going on? Tell me now!
- I can't talk right now.
- Pedro!
- Pedro!
- Wait, Lu.
- But, please
- Let go!
- Take it easy!
- Pedro!
- It's all right.
- I don't understand.
We are going to find out.
They've arrested Pedro.
- Wait. Wait.
- Are you serious?
- Take it easy, please.
- I don't know
Stay calm, we'll find out.
- I'm so embarrassed!
- No, no, no.
[dynamic music playing]
POLICE HQ
He took the money out of our safe.
- It was all of our life savings.
- [officer] I understand.
Do you have any information
about where he could be now?
I have no idea.
I called him. He won't answer.
- I don't know anything.
- [officer] All right.
I'd ask you for your ID and some details
so that I can enter them into our system.
All right.
Hi there. How's it going?
I'm Daniel Oribe.
I'm Lucila Pedemonte's lawyer.
- I'll be right back. Hey.
- Hey.
- Hello.
- Why're you here?
Well, my friend, Lu. They arrested
her husband for a scam, or something.
We were at a wedding.
And, well, it's a nightmare. And you?
We're filing a complaint.
My dad took our life savings
and left my mom nothing.
No.
Once again.
Oh, again.
Are you alright? How is your mother?
- I mean
- Over there.
We weren't surprised.
- That's your ex there?
- Yep.
Because we were all at the wedding.
We were all there, and
When it all went down, well,
Dani is a lawyer, so he's helping Lu.
- I don't know what's gonna happen.
- And your boyfriend?
Oh, right, he always disappears
when something goes wrong.
[Daniel] Sorry.
- Hello.
- Uh
- [Daniel] Uh, Vicky?
- Yeah?
- Can you take Lu outside? She's crying.
- Sure.
Alright. Come on. Let's go.
[gentle music playing]
[crying] Well, you always said
he had a devious face.
But, it turns out it's not just his face.
It's everything about him that's devious.
- That son of a bitch.
- No, sweetie.
That's not what I was trying to say.
It just seemed that he had a lot of money
for the position he had.
And, yes, his face was really noticeable.
We're together for 15 years
and I don't know who he is.
He has three passports,
three separate identities.
I don't know. He launders money.
He's a son of a bitch.
Think about the life you had.
You were together.
In his way, he loved you,
he wanted a family with you.
He's a crook, honey, are you serious?
I wanted to make you feel better,
but I can't think of anything, Lu.
I'm devastated for the kids, though.
They're still so young.
It's gonna be on the front page, isn't it?
And people can be so cruel.
At the club, you don't know
the people at the club.
It'll be hell for the kids.
No, please don't think about that.
You'll see
Some men, they prefer a woman
who's been married before.
Even to a crook,
over some single 40-year-old woman.
Being a single 40-year-old woman
is quite difficult.
But there's no chance of them
going to prison.
- You're not going.
- I don't know!
- You're not!
- Who knows?
- You're not going to prison, I promise.
- [phone buzzing]
- Dani.
- Let's see what he says.
[phone buzzing]
Go ahead.
Okay.
That's fine.
What'd he say? All good?
Mm, no, yes, well
I can see him for 15 minutes.
Perfect. Just try to relax.
What happened to Dani's face?
- What happened?
- Yes, he looks horrible.
I'll wait here.
I won't move for one second.
I'll stay with you.
Okay? I'll wait for you here.
It's alright.
You okay?
You were being unkind earlier,
about my boyfriend.
I told him not to come.
It's not that he didn't want to.
I didn't want him to see me like this,
all covered in sweat.
- Like a sea creature or something.
- You look perfect.
Perfect.
You're always beautiful.
And who are you?
Going around, complimenting everyone.
I don't just compliment everyone.
I'm complimenting you.
You not realizing that is another matter.
[gentle music playing]
I am well aware I'm not the type of guy
you want to spend your life with.
I understand.
I drive a beat up car,
I don't wear a suit,
I couldn't afford
to send our kid to a private school.
- I could think of other things.
- I didn't say any of those.
You said them all.
You also said
you didn't want to be that person.
Sure. Yeah. I don't want
to change myself to be that person.
I suppose I just wish you'd see me.
And love me as I am. That's all.
You don't have to change.
But I wish you would see me.
- I do see you.
- No.
Not like that.
You realize how we laugh together?
Do you know how special that is?
When you're sad, you call me.
When you're worried, you call me.
[gentle music continues]
Well let's try this.
I think it'd be best if I stop calling,
and stop showing up.
I don't want to be the one to make you
feel bad or create problems for you.
I adore you. I don't want you to feel bad.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I want you to call.
To come to me with all of your problems.
With your disasters. I love it.
I love seeing you like that,
I love everything about you.
I like when you walk in
with your mascara running.
When you tell me you hit a cop.
I was fighting with Bruna.
She wanted a painting that is mine.
That right there. That's why I like you.
- I painted that painting.
- Yes, I know, yes.
Fine, it's your painting.
- It's mine.
- That's what I like about you.
You live life with such passion.
When you have a goal,
you'll do whatever it takes to get it.
You're alive. I like that, you know?
Even when you're acting childish.
What I like most is your obsession
to win everything.
Your competitive spirit. I love it.
I'm not always obsessed with winning.
Yes, you are.
And I love it.
Everything about you.
Everything.

- Oh.
We're going to Lu's place to look
for some things, whatever she needs.
They are going to search it,
and take everything at some point.
[Victoria] Okay.
- What are you thinking?
- Yes. I'm going with Lu.
Sure. Alright, I'm going.
