Vulnerables (2012) - full transcript

Thanks for letting me record, doctor.
Sure there's no interference?

- It won't harm the baby, right?
- Don't worry, it's OK.

Now we'll listen
to her heartbeat.

Is everything OK?

Hi, Lucia,
honey!

Look! I've just seen you.
You're already beautiful!

You're really big!
Mom's belly is growing so much!

See? You have two hands
and all your tiny fingers...

And, most of all,
you're healthy.

Hey, Nacho! Say something
to my baby Lucia, please.

Lucia, babe. Mom
doesn't know what she's doing.



She went to a sperm bank,
when she had so much fun with me.

Listen, sleeping with you was
a mistake. A big mistake!

- Pregnancy makes you so sexy!- You goose!

Lucia, come with me. I'll introduce you
to some of your mom's friends.

Hey, Sonia!
Paco!

- Paco, say something nice to Lucia.
- Hi, Lucia.

Your mom's crazy. She's
an obsessive neurotic control freak.

Move away!
Your mom's the best in the world

although she doesn't want
to be a part of it.

You'll find out anyway,
so I'll tell you:

Your mom...

is perfect.
She's strong, independent...

Very independent.

She gets a dough
making websites.



You got a lot
to learn from her.

I just hope you teach her
what "love" and "affection" mean

- and she becomes a little sweeter!
- Give it to me. Don't be silly!

Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday from me and Lucia!
Happy birthday to you!

- You fool!- Hi, honey!

- You did remember!
- How could I forget

when you're putting upwith me through my pregnancy?

Only through your pregnancy?
I'll send you the bill!

- Carla, are you OK?- No!

- What's wrong?- I don't know!

I need
a gurney!

- Calm down!- What's wrong? It hurts so much, Sonia!

- What's wrong?
- They're here!

Calm down! Don't move!
Everything's gonna be OK.

One, two,
three!

Calm
down!

The reports!
They're in my purse!

Make way, please!

Calm down, Carla.

- Make way, please!
- We're almost there, honey.

It's OK.
Everything's fine.

We're there.
Calm down.

Now,
turn around.

OK,
quick!

- What happened?- I don't know. It hurts so much!

Put her an IV,
please!

Come on, take her vital signs.
How many months are you pregnant?

- Six months, almost seven.
- Have you ever had a miscarriage

- or a premature labor?- No, nothing!

- Book an OR! It's an emergency!
- I'll take her personal belongings.

Take the purse
away.

Yes, they're
in my purse.

Let me see those reports.
Call the Neonatal Unit immediately!

My baby...
Where's Lucia?

- Where is she?
- Don't cry, honey.

- Where's Lucia?
- In the Neonatal Unit, she's too weak.

- Is she OK?
- She's alive. Now we have to wait.

- I wanna see my baby!
- You can't see her now.

I wanna see my baby!
I gotta go and see her!

Here, take this.
It'll calm you down.

Please...

Please,
may she be OK.

I'm only allowed to see her
twice a day, Sonia.

They won't tell me how she is.
I don't know anything.

She's stable and that's
the most important thing. Don't worry.

She just has to grow up
and become a strong and healthy baby.

And you gotta go to your room
and get well. Come on.

THREE MONTHS LATER

Hi, Sonia!

I'm driving now,
I'm about to arrive.

I think so, but you know
what doctors are like.

Yes. I'll call you if I need
anything. Don't worry.

I'm taking everything with me,
in case I can take her home.

OK. Yes, I'll use
my speakerphone.

OK.
Thanks. Bye.

Well, it seems
the risk is over.

The baby has gained weight
and her lungs grew bigger.

But they suffered a lot and they're
weaker than those of a normal child.

In fact, she might have
asthma attacks.

If so,
give her this aerosol.

Anyway, especially to avoid
future complications,

I'd recommend you to get away
from the city pollution a few months.

Some clean air and a dry climatewould be good for her.

Are you telling me
to take my baby out of Madrid?

You should consider
that possibility.

It's just a preventive measure.
In certain cases, there's the risk

that she contracts
a chronic breathing disease.

Can you count
on her father's help?

- No, I'm a single mother. Why?
- No reason.

I was just meaning
you'll need some help.

But you can rely on your family.
Grandparents are always a great help.

Sure.

Thanks, doctor.

You're discharging my baby
today, aren't you?

It's OK, honey.
We're going home now.

It's OK, Lucia.

Paco, I need you to call the client
and ask him to wait.

I'm going to deliver
a bit over the deadline.

What can I do,
Paco?

With my baby at the hospital,
I didn't have much time

and now she's at home,
I have even less!

Come on. Go on
with your part

and I'll send you mine
as soon as I finish it.

OK, bye.

Good morning,
may I speak to Marcial, please?

Oh! And do you
know where...?

Hello?

Don't hang up, please.
I'm Manuel de Corral's daughter.

I need to talk to Marcial urgently.
It's really important.

Yeah, you've already told me
he doesn't live there,

but could you give him
my phone number if you see him?

Write it down,
please.

Go ahead!

You asshole!

Hello!

Marcial!
Hi, how are you?

It's Carla,
Manuel de Corral's daughter.

Oh, you're
his son!

Yes, of course
I remember.

Well, I wanted to spend a few days
at my father's country house

and... I wanted to know
about its condition.

Yeah, I know it's been
a long time.

I'm sorry you couldn't
get hold of me during all these years.

Is the house ready to move in?
I'm taking a baby with me.

If it's a problem,
I could go to a hotel instead.

I was just
leaving.

Don't worry, Marcial.
We'll sort all that as we go along.

I'll see you there, then.
Thanks.

I'm not crazy, Paco.
I have no choice but to leave.

Yeah, honey. But what am I
supposed to tell him?

I'll be more relaxed in the country and
I'll get up to date, I promise.

- Yeah, sure!
- Just hold him back a little.

Damn! It's not a drama if an architecture
studio website isn't ready on time!

- Nobody's gonna die!- Hey! What's up with you?

You don't sound
like yourself!

- Come on, Paco, call him.- OK.

And I'll send you my designs
as soon as they're finished.

- OK.- Alright, then.

- Bye.- Kisses.

- Carla, right?
- Hi, Marcial?

Marcial, I'm sorry
about the short notice.

And I'm sorry I had nothing
to do with the house all these years...

No, don't
you worry.

What I said
before...

This is all
very sudden.

Please, let me
help you, ma'am.

Call me Carla. Don't worry.
I can manage, Marcial.

I can manage,
thank you.

I told you I could manage,
but thank you.

I only had time to get
the important stuff ready.

I cleaned up the kitchen,
the bathrooms, the rooms...

I prepared your parents'
old room for you.

The first one
on the left.

- Here?
- Yes.

Where did you get
this cradle?

I found it in the warehouse.
I imagined it was yours

- and I thought maybe...
- Thank you.

Lucia?

Lucia!

Lucia!

- What's wrong?
- Lucia is not here!

Marcos!

Marcos!
Let go!

It's OK.
It's OK, love.

It's OK, honey.

Marcos,

say sorry.

I'm sorry, but I was
only playing with her!

It's OK, Marcos,
but I got really scared.

I don't want you
near the baby's stroller again.

I said
I'm sorry!

Is he your son,
Marcial?

Yeah.

I'll take the rest
of your bags in.

You have such
beautiful hair, Marcos.

Your mommy
must be really pretty.

My mother
is dead.

- I'm sorry, I messed up with Marcos.
- No, it's OK.

Sometimes,
Marcos...

behaves in
a little special way.

I mentioned
his mom...

and he told me
she's dead.

He was
a great man.

This farm was the heart
of this region.

These were
the best lands.

We all lost a lot
when he died.

I hardly knew about
this part of his life.

He used to come here often,
but my mom and I stopped coming.

I can hardly
remember it.

You didn't
remember me.

This must be your father.
Is he still alive?

Yeah... But he's
very old now and...

he's not
very well.

I remember my father
used to talk a lot about him.

- Also, he built this house, right?
- Yeah...

And it hurt him bad
when the farm was abandoned.

Marcial...

I was 13 when my parents died
on their way back from here.

They were
my only family.

When I left the orphanage, this was
the last place I wanted to go back to.

I guess that was
my way to forget.

So why are you
here now?

Because
of Lucia.

She was a preemie and her doctor
told me to take her out of the city.

So I'm thinking of
staying here for some time.

Well,
it's working now.

I left food here for tonight.
It's not much,

but maybe God sent you two
to bring prosperity back to the farm.

- Who knows...- Well, call me if you need anything.

- Who knows...- Well, call me if you need anything.

- I'll be back tomorrow morning.
- Thanks.

Marcos,
let's go home!

How
nice!

Lucia is taking
a bath!

There's
water here!

Marcial?

Marcial?

Hello?

Who's
there?

Damn!

God!

We woke you up.

Sorry.
It's almost nine o'clock.

- You do start early.
- We wake up with the sun.

- Don't we, Marcos?- Well, I haven't slept very well.

But Lucia slept all night long.
It's incredible.

- Good.
- My grandfather made this.

It looks great!
Thank your grandfather.

Lucia can't eat this,
so you'll have to help me eat it.

- I'll make some coffee, OK?- Thanks.

- I'm sorry, I don't have any.
- This grows in your farm.

And this,
in the village store.

I must go there to fill
my empty fridge! Thanks.

Marcial,

the heater
doesn't work either.

How can it be?

There must be something wrong.
I didn't touch anything.

- Magic!
- OK.

Since this farm
closed down and...

and my father
got ill...

I guard this land,
keep up the basic stuff

and get a little benefit
from it in return.

Now we only get enough for us
and to sell a bit at the market.

- I'm gonna ride my bike in the patio.
- Wait!

Ask Carla for permission.
This is her house.

- Can I?
- Of course, Marcos.

Listen,
Marcial,

this may be
an uncomfortable question...

What happened
to Marcos' mom?

His mother was
from Romania.

We met working in the vineyards
and we fell in love.

She got pregnant
and she moved in with me.

One day, we found her dead
while we were grape picking.

Marcos was
four.

I'm
sorry.

It must have been hard for you
to raise him on your own.

I did my best,
but he needs a mother.

Can I take
Lucia for a stroll?

- Yeah.
- No.

Sure! See if you can
get her to sleep.

- Stay where we can see you, OK?- OK.

So what should we do
to make the farm work again?

Do you think it's possible
to make a living out of it again?

I wouldn't know
where to start...

We could lease
a couple of warehouses.

Water is the main thing.
We should fix the irrigation

and farm the land.

- Marcos!
- Marcos, stop!

I know what you're thinking,
but I didn't do anything!

Don't worry. Maybe she got scared
when she couldn't see me.

Come
with mommy.

Marcos, help me pick up
the dead leaves in the porch.

I didn't do anything!
She's a crybaby!

Marcos!

Look out!

Be careful!

Look,
Lucia, honey.

This is all ours.

Beautiful,
isn't it?

Maybe you'd like
to live here one day,

just like when
mommy was a child.

Marcos?

Marcos!

CARLA AND MARCIAL,

I worked all night
on what you told me yesterday.

This is a plan to set
everything off again.

- Marcial, you shouldn't...
- Apart from plowing the fields,

the irrigation system goes first.
We should take it out and fix the leaks.

That'd take us about a month and a half.
In three months, everything's ready.

Thank you, but you shouldn't
have listened to me.

I got carried away
by my imagination yesterday.

I won't be able to pay you.
It's a lot of work.

We could be partners. You put
the land and I put my work.

What
do you say?

Get on the tractor!
We'll do the first furrows! Come on!

- What about Lucia?
- She'll be OK!

You'll keep her in sight!
We'll be right here!

Marcos, get on the tractor!
Come on!

I know you're very independent,
like when you were a child,

but you don't need
to care about anything.

You can go back to Madrid
whenever you want, I can manage.

I'd send you
the money.

Carla, I'm doing this
to honor my father

and to re-create what was once
so important for me and my family.

To give
my son a future.

Partners.

You won't
regret it.

What would
you like?

- I'd like a quarter kilo of cheese.
- OK.

You're Carla de Corral,
right?

Excuse
me?

I knew your father
very well.

He was a very
nice person.

I see he left
his mark on this village.

He did indeed!
Since he died,

nothing's the same
around here.

Are you taking charge of the farm?

If I were
you,

I'd get things straight
with Marcial and his son.

Since that story with the Romanian
woman, they've been living poorly.

It might have been hard
for them. Poor kid.

Poor kid?

That's not
what people say.

Before he was expelled
from school,

he was in class with
my cousin's eldest son.

he was in class with
my cousin's eldest son.

Well, he beat up
one of his classmates

just because he took
his bike for a ride.

And then, there's
his grandmother.

That poor woman couldn't
get anywhere with him,

They found her
drowned in the river.

Nobody knows
what happened to her.

- Anything else?
- No. How much is it, please?

It's OK, I can put it on your account.
You'll come round again, right?

- Yes.
- It's OK, then.

See you.

- Good morning! May I help you?
- Hi, I'd like some pajamas for my baby.

Isn't
she lovely!

Look!

These are very beautiful!

- I'm taking those three.
- It's 18 euros, then!

- You're not from here, are you?
- No.

So, are you spending
the day?

Yes, we're spending
a few days in El Alambique.

Oh, I didn't know
they rented it out.

Especially
with those two around!

Look, that little boy is a devil!
Be careful if you see him.

Well, beautiful,

come back some day
and we'll find something for you!

Thanks.

You don't want
help, do you?

No,
thanks.

Come on, dad!
Let's go!

Marcos!

Good morning!

Hi, Carla!

It's enough, Marcos!
Why don't you leave us alone?

- Carla! What's wrong?
- I swear I didn't do anything!

Tell this looney to let me go!
You're crazy!

You didn't do anything?
Come here!

FOR YOUR OWN GOOD,
GET OUT OF HERE

- What's this then?
- I didn't do it! I swear to my mother!

- Don't lie! I heard your bike!
- All children have bikes!

- Marcos was with me all night.
- You're lying!

Who did this,
then?

You want my dad
and my house just for you!

- Get the lime from the warehouse.
- I didn't do it, dad!

I know sometimes Marcos
doesn't behave like a normal kid.

When his mother died,
he became moody

and I took him to
a doctor in Ciudad Real.

He just stuffed him with pills.
After two weeks, he was a zombie.

I stopped giving him those drugs.
I gave up working the land,

we started to spend some time here
and he's been calm since then.

Maybe he's a little upset
because you are here.

But I'm sure if he says
he didn't do it, it's true!

- Who did this, then?
- I don't know!

I bet it was someone
from the village!

They never accepted that I had
a child with an immigrant!

Since then, they make
life difficult for us.

We had to move out
of the village!

They must know you're here
and they want to compromise us.

Sonia!

Hi!
I'm fine, yeah.

Yes, Lucia is
very well, too.

Hey, I wanted
to ask you a question.

What could happen
to a kid who's really moody

and behaves
strangely?

I don't know,
strangely...

Sometimes, he's lovely.
Sometimes, he has this scary look...

He must have a problem,
cause he's been under treatment.

I know it's not much information,
but I need you to tell me something.

Deficit...

of attention.

Bipolar
disorder.

No, it's
for a friend's child.

What do you mean, which friend?
Of course I can make friends!

Don't be silly.
I'll tell you later. Don't worry.

Thanks.
Bye.

A CORRECT DIAGNOSIS...

...BIPOLARITY AND
MULTIPLE PERSONALITY...

MULTIPLE
PERSONALITY

Between the psychological
and the supernatural,

we find the old legend
of the Doppelgänger,

in German,
he who walks by your side.

An old legend about a ghostly double
or an evil twin of a living person.

It's said that finding
your Doppelgänger

is an omen
of your own death.

- Yes?- It's Marcial!

Just a second!

Hi.

I'm sorry. Did I interrupt you?
Were you busy?

No, come in.
I wasn't doing anything.

I just wanted to tell you the irrigation
is working in the big field.

Oh,
thanks.

Marcial, I wanted to talk to you.
Is Marcos around?

No, I took him
to his grandfather.

I wanted him to calm down,
after this morning...

Marcial, I know
you don't wanna believe me,

but Marcos comes here at night.
I've heard his bike.

I'm sure he just wants
to scare us away,

- but I'm afraid he might hurt Lucia...
- Carla, that's not possible!

He sleeps right by my side.
He can't go out without me noticing.

What was his diagnosis?
Bipolar disorder?

44% of the cases are
diagnosed late or mistakenly.

- Many years could pass before...
- No!

Marcial, I recorded something
last night and I'm sure it's Marcos.

I want you
to see it.

Carla, calm down,
please!

I understand your concern about
Lucia better than anyone. Of course!

But Marcos is OK.
He'd never hurt any of you, believe me.

First, because I'd never allow
that to happen. Never.

Let´s go

little by little.

Where's
the kid, dad?

Hi, Carla!

- Did you sleep well last night?
- Much better, thanks.

Marcos is helping me clean up
the pipes in the big field today, right?

Sure, dad! And you should
also fix the swimming pool.

If Lucia and Carla are staying
for the summer, they could use it!

OK.
Let's do it, then!

Do you wanna have breakfast
before you go?

Yeah! Thank you
very much.

Marcos,
come here!

Ask Carla for water.

Carla!

Dad wants some fresh water.
It's really hot outside!

Yes, Marcos.
It's in the fridge.

Thanks!

Bye!

Put this in the shade.

- Give me a kiss.
- Hello!

- You look good!
- How are you?

What a surprise.

What are you doing here?

Can't your best friend
come and visit you?

Of course.

That must be your friend, right?

How is Lucia doing?

She is much better
since we are here.

Hi!

My name is Marcos.
Nice to meet you.

Ah!, what a handsome gentleman!

Marcos! Don´t badger, come!

No, Marcial, please join us!

Let me introduce you to Sonia.

She's my best friend.

I'm sorry about my looks.

Pleasure.

What about having lunch all together?

Uh, like this?

You can get a shower at home,
and I have some old clothes.

In the meanwhile we'll get
the food ready.

Shall you give us a hand, Marcos?

Of course!.
After you ma'am!

Hey, you do it very well!

Did domeone taught you?

Yes, my dad.

You must love him a lot.

Do you two get along well?

- Yes
- Good!

And you...,
why are you here?

I am very good friends with Carla,
and I wanted to pay her a visit.

Do you have many friends?

Yes, all the kids in town.

I'm going to bring
these clothes to Marcial

And, apart from your dad,
do you have any other family?

- Yes, Grampa.
- How is he like?

I don't know, like any other grandpa.

He teaches me stuff,
we play together,

and I love him a lot.

That's great!

Why is Carla taking so long?

She must be taking care
of the house, don't worry.

Carla and Lucia are great,
do you have fun with them?

Yes. But Lucia cries a lot, and
that sometimes bothers me.

That's normal, Marcos.
She is a baby!

- Dad?
- Marcos, go to the kitchen!

You are taking too long!

Come on marcos, set the table.

After you!

Then,

my father told me:
Son, while I am alive

there won't be a
single weed here.

Since then, whether Marcos or I
rake that patio every morning.

It seems you didn't fulfill your promise,
look at the one that just came up!

Well, Marcos it's time
to get back to work.

Let's go!

It's been a pleasure.

I rest assured that my
friend is in the best hands.

And this gentleman,
take good care of my girls.

Come on, lead the way.

Hey, what's going on with Marcial?

Just worry about the kid!

What do you think?

Honestly, I couldn't confirm any symptoms,
he seems like a perfectly normal kid.

Bastard, he is faking it!

Please Carla, you have put up this show
to be able to get my opinion.

I have talked to him for hours.
A kid couldn't pretend that well.

How naive! I hope at the hospital
you diagnose better!

Thank you for coming, Sonia.

Marcial!

I'm going to the village
to buy milk for the baby.

I can't stop this now,
but I could buy it for you tomorrow.

It's OK, I need it for tonight.
I'll be right back!

What's
wrong?

I don't know.

I'll do it.

I can't see
anything wrong.

I'll check it
for you tomorrow!

I have to finish with the chemicals
and fill up the swimming pool!

May I borrow
your motorbike, Marcial?

- What about the baby?
- She can stay here with you.

She'll be safe with you,
won't she?

OK,
if it's so urgent...

- Thanks.- Can you ride a motorbike?

- Hi.
- I knew you'd come back!

- How's the house going?
- Very well.

I met Marcial and his son.
They're really nice.

Do you reckon?
You just don't know them well!

I'd like to give them a surprise.
Do you know where they live?

What are you talking about?
They live in a hovel!

Well, it's up to you!
As you drive off the village,

- take the dirt road, it's straight on.
- Thanks.

Hi.

You must be
Marcial's father.

I'm Carla,
Manuel de Corral's daughter.

I'm so sorry the farm
was closed down.

I know it was
really important to you.

I really respect
your son

and your
grandson.

I spend a lot of time
with Marcos

and I'm worried
about him.

I think Marcos has
a psychological problem.

I need your help to persuade Marcial
to take him to Madrid for treatment.

Hey!

DIAGNOSIS FORM

...SEEMS TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE.
WOULD RATHER BE DEAD...

...BIPOLAR
DISORDER...

Poor kid?

Well, he beat up
one of his classmates...

And then, there's
his grandmother.

They found her
drowned in the river.

Look, that little boy is a devil!

That kid
is the demon.

Did you
bring the milk?

They run out of it,
but I'll manage.

- What happened?
- Leave me alone!

I can't! What's going on?
I'm worried about you!

- Is it for the lands?
- No way!

It's
Marcos!

Forget it, please!
You're getting obsessed!

Why didn't you tell me he was
with his mother when she died?

And what about
his grandmother?

What happened to her?
How did she die?

Your father showed me
Marcos' reports and his drawings.

Even his own grandfather
says he's the demon!

My father?

Did you go to my house
without telling me?

- You're out of your mind!
- That's you and your son!

Marcos needs medical treatment
before he hurts someone else.

And you're crazy if you think you can
keep him under guard here forever!

I'd better go now. We'll talk
when you're calmed.

Yeah, go! I don't want
to put my baby at risk!

You're being irresponsible
and I don't wanna be your accomplice!

Just go!

Carla!

Dad wants some fresh water.
It's really hot outside!

Yes, Marcos.
It's in the fridge.

Thanks!

Mine...
Mine...

Lucia! Marcos,
leave her alone!

Come here,
my love!

I told you
to leave!

Get out
of here!

Rock-a-bye baby,
