NETFLIX PRESENTS
We're in luck, look.
This grasshopper is very uncommon
in this region. It's very rare.
-There aren't many like it?
-No, it's actually like
It's like a shooting star.
Do you think it feels lonely?
Maybe.
But that doesn't stop it from singing.
One day, someone will understand
its song, and then
Fer,
I'm not a grasshopper.
I wasn't talking about you.
Well, yes. I was talking about you,
it was a metaphor.
Your mom told me what happened.
About my crush on Majo?
Did I disappoint you too?
Mich.
You're our greatest pride.
You can trust me, always.
Whatever happens, whatever you decide,
whoever you fall in love with.
It doesn't matter if one day
you're the star in a musical,
or The Flower in a traditional pageant.
Or
a simple, little chirping grasshopper.
And what if I want to be all three?
Or if I like three, four,
five, or more people?
I don't see anything wrong
with that, Mich.
Just don't hurt anyone along the way.
Okay.
I promise not to hurt anyone.
Alice or The Flower?
Whatever decision I make
will change the course of my whole life.
Actually, I'm going to tattoo
today's date here on my arm.
You know,
with a scorpion and a happy bunny.
Or a sad kitten, I don't know.
But then there's the other decision.
What does my heart want?
Majo?
Dani?
Mati?
-I don't know.
-Mich.
-Uh-huh?
-That's 20.
I know, 20 difficult decisions
I have to make and I don't have time.
I know, you don't have to repeat it.
Twenty pesos.
Oh. Yes, sorry.
Here.
Good luck with your life decisions.
Thanks.
No, Majo!
Ma Shit
It's hard to make this knot, Majo!
Majo!
Wait, Majo!
BIASA HIGH SCHOOL
-Hey.
-Hi, Mich.
-What are you doing?
-Giving myself the slap I deserve.
-No, we're not in a soap opera.
-So how do I apologize to you?
I should've told you about Dani.
I didn't know you cared about him so much.
-Is that why you're upset?
-Hi, Mich!
See you later.
Am I hallucinating, or?
How odd, right? But
Mich, you look good.
I like your shirt.
I like this cat too.
It's like one I had a long time ago.
Mich, do you want to be in our group
for the history assignment?
Or we could go to the movies, if you want.
-A movie
-This weekend is the release No, wait!
-What is it?
-Is this a trick?
Are you going to throw slushies
or rancid spaghetti on me?
-No.
-It's just an invitation. Saturday.
If you want to go with us.
Mich.
Cool outfit.
Thanks.
-Did you rob a bank?
-Are the police after you?
I think
I'm popular.
My dream came true.
How horrible.
Here, Mich.
You shouldn't have. How nice.
You're welcome.
It was me.
The molletes?
I made you popular.
Didn't you see? I tagged you in a post.
Will you hold this? Let me see.

COUSIN REVEAL
LOV U CUZ <3
BEST CUZ 4EVER
HAHA I LOVE YOU, MICH
Oh, so it wasn't a miracle
from the Baby Jesus?
No.
Just like I gave you
this taste of visibility,
I can take it away too.
Why would you do that?
I'll explain at the fountain.
Cousin.
-Don't go.
-She'll drown you.
-Why?
-Because of Matías.
-Because she's Brenda.
-Why? Do you think she knows?
Mich, whatever you do,
remember the only important thing today
Is our history exam.
-Yes.
-Yes, I studied.
Hold my molletes.
Please don't eat them all.
Can you move over?
Come.
Grandma wouldn't forgive you.
What?
If you drown me.
That's not the plan, come.
This is just a glimpse
of what your life could be.
A little taste
of everything I can give you.
Look what I did
with just one post on social media.
The best guys, the best girlfriends.
Can you imagine
being an icon of popularity?
-Honestly, yes.
-Yes?
If you want all the spotlights on you,
just say yes.
Yes.
To what?
Quit the show
and your attempts to be the stellar Alice.
But,
even if I quit, you still have
an Alice who's better than me.
You mean Majo?
She quit.
No.
You broke her heart with Dani.
I know everything you do, Mich.
Everything.
You have until tomorrow to decide.
Let's go, Cris.
You mean the show, or?
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
Oh, sorry. Uh
The shop is closed!
It's cheaper over there.
-Brenda wants to drown me.
-Huh?
Hello.
-Brenda knows.
-What?
About us.
What happened in Morelos.
-Our kiss?
-Shut up.
I can't stop thinking about you.
Me neither, but no one can know,
it's our secret.
Mr. Toño can't hear.
Yes, I can. You kissed in Morelos.
Mr. Toño, go away!
I'm going to talk to Bren.
I want to be with you.
No.
You don't want the same?
No, yes.
But
it's complicated.
How?
Love octagon.
Mich!
-Dani.
-Hey.
Hey, I wanted to see if
-Oh!
-Careful!
Are you okay?
You're all
sweaty.
We have to talk.
I don't speak Spanish.
I don't remember. What if we talk later?
Mich,
we've been doing things wrong for a year,
and look how in love we are.
Are we
in love?
We can do things right.
Dani
I love you a lot.
I love you too.
It's just
I'm very confused.
I didn't even know
what outfit to put on today,
and I don't know
if I want to be in The Flower or Alice.
But
Have I lost you forever?
No.
It's just
First I need to speak to
Majo?
Love octagon!
Sorry.
Forgive me.
I swear I'll bring them back,
I'm not stealing them.
Don't tell your son.
I'll bring you flowers later. Thank you!
Majo!
No, there's no Majo here.
Thank you, sir.
Majo!
Hello, sorry.
Does Majo live here?
No.
Okay. Thank you.
She lives next door.
Thank you.
Hey, aren't you?
No, forget it.
-Good night. Bye.
-Bye.
Mich?
Majo.
I was passing by, and
Well, no.
I actually came to see you.
I'm coming.
Dad, I'll be right back!
I didn't know
which house you lived in, I forgot.
Listen.
Can we talk?
Let's go to a park.
I don't even know where to start.
I fucked up, I really did.
I don't know,
to start with, Dani is your ex
and I should've told you about the kiss,
but I felt like if I told you it would be
I don't know,
I'd make things worse, I was afraid.
And about Alice too,
I don't know how to feel, Majo.
I felt weird about it.
-Mich.
-I think you shouldn't have
I couldn't care less about Dani.
That's not why that kiss hurt me.
I'm not upset because of Dani.
It's because of you.
Because we're
best friends?
Is that what we are?
Friends?
When I touch you,
I feel like I'm touching the universe.
Is that how it feels?
Like an energy that runs through
your entire body.
And it gives you
goosebumps.
Why didn't you tell me?
I tried.
Thousands of times.
But you don't see me.
I'm the invisible one.
You're not invisible, stupid.
I see you.
And I'm going to keep seeing you.
I don't want to be your friend.
And you?
No.
-Is it because I'm a girl?
-No.
It's because I don't want to hurt you,
not you or anyone.
I don't know how to stop doing it.
I'm honestly trying to do the right thing.
I don't want to hurt you,
it's just that, I swear.
Majo.
Love octagon.
Hi, honey.
What's up?
Have the final exams begun?
Have you studied?
Yes.
Close your eyes.
Just for a second.
Okay.
Open them.
Do you like it?
And
FEMINISM FOR DUMMIES
I've started reading it.
The girl in the bookshop recommended it.
She looks a lot like you.
Dani.
I don't know about art, honey.
Feminism even less, so if we talk
about feminist art, I'll be lost.
But you're my daughter.
And I want to understand you better.
I love you.
I love you too.
A lot.
But, I need you to take me
to my history exam, okay?
Let's go.
What?
What about what?
Why are you staring at me, Mom?
Because
I found out.
About
your relationship.
Which one?
I saw a "TokTok" of Daniel's.
Chabela and your cousin came over
yesterday to talk about something.
I'll tell you about it later.
And Brenda showed me a video
that boy made you.
Damn Brenda.
I'm really glad you realize
some paths are easier than others.
Like following the Flower legacy, right?
Yes. Following paths already travelled.
Without complicating things.
Like in love?
Exactly.
Mich, you still have time
to go to the inauguration today
and get your sash for the pageant.
But today is the premiere
of the play, Mom.
And I want to see the opening.
You don't know
how grateful and lucky I am
to know you're my biggest fan.
-Along with Fer.
-Both of you.
You and Fer applaud me, and are always
there watching me and celebrating me.
I just want more people to see that.
What you both see.
Isn't The Flower enough?
I know it seems like going
for the easy option is better,
but
that's not me, Mom.
It's okay.
I won't insist. I'm going to try
to respect whatever you decide.
About everything.
I only want you to be happy, my love.
Speaking of happiness, your dad
is coming today to pick up your sister.
What?
I can go back to my room?
-Uh-huh.
-Right now?
Right now.
My room!
Yes!
My room for me.
Little baby, were you treated badly?
Yes, you were scared, right?
The bad girl won't be here anymore.
Yes, we're safe now, together.
So, should I stay in Alice even though
it means sacrificing The Flower?
You already got to the fountain,
what else?
But it's not free.
Brenda is pressuring me and so is Majo.
I wish I hadn't said those nice things.
And Mati!
I don't know what to do, Dani is also
I just don't want to hurt anyone.
You could also be alone
for a while, right?
You don't need to decide now.
And sorry, but not hurting anyone else
is your decision.
You got in this mess all on your own
because you didn't decide.
Ouch.
Well,
what do you think Dr. Hilda would prefer?
That her daughter has a girlfriend
or that my boyfriend is my cousin's ex?
This isn't about your mom either.
Who, then?
-You!
-You!
The real question is, do you want
to be popular under other people's rules?
Or do you want to be popular
for being as cool as only you are?
Mich, popularity is overrated.
It's easy to say that
when you live in a different world.
How are you?
What?
What?
Hold up, my wig.
When did this happen?
At what time? I didn't see it.
Well, the thing is
Mich, we also have lives.
Oh, well
-Did you know?
-Obviously, I talk to her.
We love you, dude.
Me too.
Congratulations, Mich.
-What for?
-Dani. Your cousin told us.
-You're Dani's girlfriend.
-The iconic and fabulous Mich.
That's you, isn't it?
Yes.
Iconic.
Hey.
Hey.
Are you used to your new life yet?
Believe me, Mich,
saying goodbye to Alice will be worth it.
No.
I'm not going to leave Alice.
And I don't need you
or Dani to sit at the fountain.
You'll regret this.
Hello, urgent announcement.
My phone was hacked yesterday
and things were posted on my social media
which Wow. Frightening. Nothing is true.
First, let me be clear,
I'm not that girl Mich's cousin.
Truth is,
I don't even remember her being at school.
So the hack was her,
as was all the photoshopping.
So
WE'RE WITH YOU BREN
cancel her.
SHE KISSED YOUR BOYFRIEND MATI.
I SAW HER.
Bad signal. See you.
SHE KISSED YOUR BOYFRIEND MATI.
I SAW HER. DOWNLOAD.
Take care.
Tell me it's not true.
But
But it is true.
Sorry, Bren.
-I didn't want to hurt you.
-Don't apologize.
-Is there something I can do to?
-Explain.
Explain why the people
I care about always choose Mich?
I thought you didn't care about me.
No, I don't care about you much.
Don't worry.
-Bren, I swear I
-I'm fine.
Because I'm always
fine.
-Mrs. Juana! Give me a minute.
-Mich.
-Yes.
-I know Brenda's your favorite.
-But I have something no one's ever seen.
-Mich.
Mich, listen. That's not necessary.
-Why?
-Because you'll be the lead today.
What?
-I'm in the premiere?
-Yes.
-So I won?
-No.
-Yes, but no.
-I won.
-No, no one else showed up.
-I won!
You're my only option.
-I won?!
-Fine, yes. You won.
-I won!
-Okay.
-I won!
-Oh.
-Sorry, with all due respect.
-Okay.
Break a leg. Give it your all.
-God bless you.
-Thank you.
ALICE IN XOCHILAND
Hello and welcome.
I'd like to introduce Alice in Xochiland.
Enjoy. This is the third call.
Let's begin!
Come on, Mich, you can do it.
The night is full
Of beasts and promises
I don't worry anymore
About being everything you want
-She's the one who hacked Brenda.
-She's cancelled.
Get off, Mich!
I don't care what they say
I don't waste my energy anymore
Every day
I live my life
Always convinced
Get off, Mich!
Carry on, Mich!
Get off!
Get off!
Mich.
No.
I'm useless.
You were right.
I'm useless.
I'd rather be invisible. Enough.
I'd rather be invisible.
Brenda won.
No way. Don't say that.
You were born for this.
Neither Brenda,
nor anyone can take that from you.
Even if she tries.
Actually, she went too far.
What do you mean?
First, let me be clear,
I'm not that girl Mich's cousin.
Truth is,
I don't even remember her being at school.
-So the hack was her
-Is that why they're booing me?
They won't stop.
Mich, look at me.
We're going to clap for you.
Always.
Hey.
Always.
-Get off, Mich!
-Leave, Mich!
-Stop embarrassing yourself, Mich!
-Go away!
-Get off.
-Stop showing off.
-What are you doing here?
-Awful!
-Get off!
-Leave!
The night is full
Of beasts and promises
I don't worry anymore
About being who you expect
I go on with my world
With all my quirks
It doesn't matter what they say
I don't waste my energy anymore
Every day
Off with her head!
Always convinced
That I'm my own heroine
I feel
Like I'm a hallucination
Alice, have you ever spoken to time?
Hatter,
I'm afraid I'll never see you again.
We'll see each other in the Garden
of Memories and the Land of Dreams.
Sharing destiny just the two of us
Just my world with all of my quirks
Doesn't matter what they say
I don't waste my energy anymore
Every day
I live my life
Always convinced
That I'm my own heroine
One more!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Molletes?
-Molletes?
-Molletes!
-Hey!
-It's the star of the show!
Friends!
-Mich!
-Congratulations.
-I'm proud of you.
-I love you, thanks for everything.
Nice flowers.
You're visible. Finally.
So?
Do you know what you're going to do?
Hey.
Dani.
You were incredible today.
Thanks, you too.
Mich.
I want to do things right.
Seriously right.
What do you say?
Is that possible?
It is possible.
Mich.
Mati.
What's up?
I broke up with Bren.
Is everything okay?
All cool.
But I wanted to know
if we could talk about us.
Right now?
-In a minute.
-Okay.
Uh give me three.
Mich.
Hey.
Someone's calling me. Wait for me.
I won't be long. Be right there.
-This one.
-Mom! Grandma! Everyone!
What is it?
I was in the premiere!
I was in the premiere
and they clapped for me.
Well, first they cancelled me.
But then they clapped loads for me,
for being myself.
It was incredible because I was the lead.
-I was Alice. Yes.
-You don't say.
The others didn't show up,
but it doesn't matter, I'm so happy.
-You should've told us.
-I didn't know.
-Brenda
-Brought me some marzipan.
And she's going to come live here.
She'll share your room
now that your sister's gone.
I was gonna tell you before,
but there wasn't time.
You know how Chabela is.
She was like, "I met a guy on Tinder,"
and went to Cancun.
Your cousin's going to live with us.
She's family.
Well, then.
How exciting. Your dream came true!
Next time, I want to be there.
Yes.
Actually
since you weren't there,
I realized how much I needed you.
And I've been thinking,
I want to compete in The Flower.
And continue our family's tradition
and show you that
I'm proud to be from Xochimilco.
There we are.
No, it's not necessary anymore, darling.
Why?
You don't need to sign up, Mich.
Why?
I'm going to continue our legacy.
