Butterfly (2015) - full transcript

The flapping of a butterfly divides Romina's universe into two parallel possibilities: In the first one, she is abandoned by her biological mother, and then raised by another family with ...

BUTTERFLY

I don't know how you could see it.
Oh, look.

How cute.

Sorry for staying in the car.
I didn't understand.

How?

- How strange. What do we do?
- I don't know.

Well...

How weird. Come.

What's up? Everything's alright.
It's OK, beautiful.

What's the matter?

You peed your pants.



Give me.

- What are you doing? Are you dumb?
- It was empty.

That's no excuse for throwing it out
the window.

Are you OK? How can you cross like that?

- I didn't see you. I'm sorry.
- Are you hurt?

- Just a scratch...
- Do you have a tissue?

No, I don't. Hey, are you alright?

- Where do you live?
- Close by.

- Let's give her a ride.
- Do you want a ride?

- It's not necessary.
- We'll give you a ride, come on.

- I live close from here.
- It's no big deal. We'll take you.

Can you walk?

- See?
- It's nothing.

We'll put you some hydrogen peroxide,
I have some in the glove box.



Come, we'll drive you.

- Do we have some water to give her?
- No.

Keep going straight from here,
and you'll see a road to the right.

No, you go and talk to her yourself.

Remember the last time
we went there.

Hey, could you turn down
the music, come on.

You know what? Call me
later and we'll see.

- That record is mine.
- Can I borrow it?

- If you ask me, sure.
- Idiot.

If I want I can break it now
into a million pieces. It's mine.

Do whatever you want.
You'll get in trouble.

I don't give a fuck.

I can see your cock with that short. Put
some underwear.

I haven't got dressed yet. You're sick.

Why don't tell Bruno? When we play
football his is always loose...

Why do you watch? You like it?

So that's how it works?
If you watch, you like it?

Then why do you watch? You like it?

Don't drag Bruno into this.

When did I say something
about your girlfriend?

All the time. Yesterday you say he bought
the same...

Get out of here, idiot.

I don't want discuss with you.
You're boring.

- What's up?
- Let's go.

- What's your name?
- Bruno.

Come.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- How are you?
- Fine. You, Romi?

- Good.
- Your mom?

At home.

- Mariela is home?
- Yes.

- I'll go in.
- Alright.

Sometime I laugh
and my mom just stares.

I know I remind her of him.

- Of course.
- She never told me, but I just know it.

Hey, are you going to see again
the guy who took you to the hospital?

German. Yes, I guess so.

- Mariela.
- What?

Mom says you should buy
what she asked you to.

- OK.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Bye. Get lost.

- OK, but don't forget.
- No.

What's up with Juan Pablo?

Nothing. I like your brother. But he treats
me like his little sister.

I flirt with him,
but he doesn't seem to notice.

- You flirt?
- Yeah.

- Why don't you get us something to drink?
- You go.

No, I'm shy around Juan Pablo.

- Come on, I don't wanna.
- OK, I'll go.

You smoke too much.

- Says who?
- It's bad for you.

When will your
boyfriend be back?

Why did you ignore me the other day,
when you passed by with your sister?

Because he knows my girlfriend.
What could I do?

Why don't you fuck your girlfriend?

She wants to wait. I don't know.

I'm getting a tattoo.

What?

A little bird, with a flower.

Cool.

OK, I'm leaving now.

See you.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Ger, how are you?
- Fine. You?

- Hey, is your sister home?
- I have no idea.

- Maybe you knew. You live together.
- I have no idea.

- You OK?
- Everything's fine.

You didn't play football
with us on Friday.

No, I stayed in, watching
a movie with Romina.

What a little liar, she told me
she had to study.

- I have to go now.
- Are you going to your house?

- I was on my way there.
- Sure, I'll take you.

OK, thanks.

Hey, I can't fit here.
Move back.

- Alright?
- Yeah.

- Hey. How are you?
- Hi.

- How are you?
- Good.

We were close, and since we
dropped you off here the other day...

What?

I don't know. I wanted to see how your
knee was.

- Oh. It's fine.
- Cool.

- Hello.
- Hi.

What's up?

I don't know. Do you wanna come
and see a movie, or have a drink?

- Wanna come in?
- I was kidding.

No, really. Come in for a while.

Alright.

Bruno! Bruno!

- Hi.
- Hi.

Bruno, Romina.

- Hi, Mariela.
- Hi.

- Come in.
- Sure.

Hello.

How are you, Bruno?

- You alright?
- Sure.

Excuse me.

Mariela's been waiting for you in the
backyard for 40 minutes.

- I didn't know she was coming.
- Oh, God.

- Hey.
- How are you?

- I'm fine.
- All good?

- You didn't tell me you where coming.
- Yes, I told you yesterday.

Yeah.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Wait, stop. Your mother's downstairs.

- Sissy.
- I'm serious. I don't like it.

How nice of you to come by.
I missed you.

Today we'll ask them again
if you can stay, OK?

Sure it's alright?

Yeah, they'll make you sleep
with German, but Whatever.

Sure. Yeah.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

Have you ever been to Cerro de la Cruz,
maybe?

Yeah, my aunt owns a store there.

I think I know you from there. Your aunt
owns a tailor shop?

Yes.

I've been there a million times. Once,
I bought a bunch of white ribbons.

- I don't remember.
- Doesn't matter.

It was that time I went
with your brother.

He came with me
to get the ribbons.

Is your brother a thin, tall guy
with a blue truck?

Yeah.

- You remember her brother, but not her?
- No, I remember the truck.

My hair was different back then. Maybe
that's why you don't remember.

Sure, that's why.

- Will you stay for dinner?
- Yes, mom.

- What do you want?
- Checking you don't do anything weird.

Ger, I brought you the drawings I
mentioned you the other day.

I had them today but forgot to tell you.
Want to see them?

When did you see my brother?

I brought him with my bike.

- Go show him to his room.
- OK.

Measure your cocks, while you're at it.
See who's got it bigger.

Romina!

What?

Don't talk that way.

This one. It's really good.

Yeah, still... The one I like the most is...

This one.

Yeah dork, you showed it
to me the other day.

- There was another one I liked.
- I don't know.

This one's finished?

- This part's missing, but it's almost done.
- I can see?

- Which one?
- Any.

- It's good.
- Thanks.

- And Romina?
- I think she's dyeing her mom's hair.

- This one?
- No.

- I'm going to the bathroom.
- OK.

- It's busy, go downstairs.
- OK, thank you.

This pants make me
too much bulge, don't they?

- Can I come in?
- Sure. It's your house.

Sorry for abandoning you. Mariela went out
for beers. Wanna go outside?

- Sure. Tell us later how much is it.
- We'll see later.

- What?
- Nothing.

I started music school first,

but my father's a doctor,
so I thought it'd be for the better.

- Maybe next year I'll move to Buenos Aires.
- I studied medicine in La Plata.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, but spent all my days
playing the guitar.

I didn't want to do something
I wasn't really into.

So I formed a band now.
It's good, I think.

But we're just beginning,
playing covers.

It's more complicated, but my parents
supported me. So now I give lessons.

- Starting step by step.
- That's nice.

- Do you play any instruments?
- I sing.

I get a little shy with audiences, though.

Ger heard me a couple of times.
Right, baby?

Yeah, she's good.

- Should I get more beer?
- Sure.

Do you want to borrow shorts?

No, it's alright. I sleep naked.

- How do I climb up?
- Over there, that way.

- Should I turn off the lights?
- No, wait. Let's talk for a while.

Are you doing something tomorrow?

No. Why?

That girl makes me so hard.

I'd fuck Mariela too, but Romina
is so fucking sexy.

Do you mind if I lay down there?
This bed is filled with stuff.

No, I don't. Alright.

I'll go get a smoke
and then I'll sleep above.

You have one for me?

- Expecting Bruno?
- What, are you jealous?

- Your boyfriend is huge fag.
- Oh, yeah?

He knows how to give me
exactly what I want.

He acts strange around me.
I think he messes with me.

How so?

He started walking around the room,
almost naked.

- You are always walking around naked.
- Yeah, when we're friends.

When you play football don't you
shower all together?

Yeah, but it's different.

I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.

- Want some?
- OK.

And what do I get?

Everything is yours.

I'm with her to make you jealous.

Can you go grab the Coke
and Fernet, please?

- OK.
- Want some help?

OK.

- You like Mariela?
- What?

Yeah, I don't know. She's cute. Why?

I don't know. I won't care
if you like her.

And do you like me?

- Got get the glasses.
- "Go get the glasses."

- Are you kicking me out?
- Yes.

Alright.

- Not those. The others.
- Oh, OK.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- How are you?
- How nice to see you.

- I brought your book.
- Thank you.

- Can I help?
- Sure.

What are you doing? It's cold.

Want some, Bruno?

Yeah.

Come here.

- Everyone drinks?
- Yeah.

The other day I read
that ants don't sleep.

And that "J" is the only letter
that isn't on the periodic table.

What do you study?

Music.

- Yeah.
- Cool.

- Wanna hear some music?
- I'll choose.

- How's it going?
- Good, you?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

- You got something there.
- Where?

- Here.
- What?

Come on, cut it out.

Oh, look.

Who am I?

- You didn't guess.
- No.

I'll leave your clothes here.

German, what's up
with your sister?

She said you don't want
to take her to the tailor.

Do me a favor, take her
and try your suit.

When you come back, bring me
the pizza molds from Carmen's house.

- Mom, can't she go by herself?
- German, please!

- Hello.
- Hello.

- How are you?
- How are you?

- I'm here to try a coat and a shirt.
- Are you Mono's son?

- Yes.
- Aha. He's inside.

- What's up, dumbass?
- How's it going, dad?

- It suits me well.
- Oh, that's good.

Did mom tell you we're having
dinner at your aunt's house?

- Yes, she told me.
- Alright. I'll go get the car, then.

- OK.
- Bye, Rita. Thanks.

- Bye. He looks just like you.
- Yeah, right?

- Bye, dad.
- Bye.

- Go ahead, I'll bring you your things.
- This way?

- Hello.
- Hello.

- How are you?
- Fine.

I just got it.

- It's done?
- I'll go get it now.

- Hey.
- Hi.

What's up?

I knew I'd find you here.

You were looking for me?

Maybe.

- That's the suit.
- That one?

I didn't see you last time,

but I remembered
you help your aunt, no?

Yeah, sometimes.

Should I change here?

Oh, sorry. Does it makes
you uncomfortable?

Not at all.

Am I nice?

- You're gonna get a wedding?
- Yes.

What?

I was picturing you as a bride.

In white?

I pictured you as my bride.

The other day
I thought about you.

Why?

It's a bit weird.

A couple of days ago I went
with my mom to the cemetery,

to cremate my grandmother after
taking her out from the grave.

And the night before
I dreamt that...

she was laying on a table.

Beautiful, as I remembered her,

but she was like a mix between
a woman and something else.

She had like...

her skin was like a tree bark.

She was still.

And suddenly she gasped
and open her eyes, looking lost.

Her eyelids moved fast.

But I wasn't scared.

I thought it was
a beautiful picture.

Like she had
to be woken up

so she could move on to another
world, or something.

I don't know
what I'm saying.

And why did you
think of me?

I think because the other
day you were saying...

that when you were
12 or 13 years old,

you used to wake up crying.

Because you thought
you would die.

I'll carry on.

It looks great.

Don't leave.

You are beautiful.

- Wait here.
- Where are you going?

I'll be right back.

Hey, dad told me you asked
Bruno to come tomorrow.

Yeah, why?

I thought we could
spend some time alone.

Oh, I didn't realize.
I'll tell him not to come.

No, don't. Mom has
already told Mariela.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I don't know.
It's not such a big deal, right?

I just wanted to be with you.
That's it.

See you later.

Hey.

Hey.

Did you bring Bruno a swimsuit?

Remember I asked you?

Hey. The trunks.

It's in my backpack,
in the trunk of the car.

Is this the one?

It's hideous.

I don't know, I grabbed
the first one I found.

I can't give him this.
Give him yours.

Come on.

- Here.
- Thank you.

This fabric takes
forever to dry.

Yeah.

Girl, your boyfriend
touched my dick.

Do you want me to fuck
him to make you realize?

What are you
talking about?

- Give me a hand, will you?
- In a minute.

When I was young I used to come here
to fish with my dad and my brother

with a BB gun.

One time they stayed here
and I went into the woods...

and I spotted a woodpecker
on a tree, right?

So I grabbed the rifle...

I aimed.

And I noticed it wasn't moving,
so I got a little bit closer.

I blew it's head off.

I cried for three
days after that.

So you were also
a fag back then.

Hey, listen, Mariela
needs to go back. Wanna leave?

- Yeah, sure. I'm also a little bored.
- OK.

- I'll take you.
- OK.

Here they come. Where
do you have to go?

To my aunt's
Family dinner.

- Cool.
- Super cool.

A pain in the ass.

You're going with Juan Pablo?

Why, you want to come?

We're leaving,
Ger is kind of bored. So...

- You didn't want to come, did you?
- No.

I have to leave, anyway.

I'm not bored, but since
he's leaving, he'll give me a ride.

Can you take them both?

- Why?
- So I can hang for a while.

You're staying?

Yeah, wanna stay?

Sure.

I can take you both,
it's not a problem.

I don't want her to be alone.

OK, bye.

- See you tonight, OK?
- Alright.

- You got something in your eye.
- Here?

No, let's see.

- Where?
- There.

- Here?
- Yes, here.

- Bye. See you.
- See you.

- Hi, dad.
- Your mom will kill you.

- Girl, we we're waiting you.
- I'll go get a jacket.

- Got one here. Let's go.
- Juan Pablo?

Because.

Bye, dad.

Hey!

Hey!

You're out of gas?

Hum, yeah.

Yes, I ran out of gas.

I have some.

- It's that, right?
- Yeah, it is.

But it happens all the time.

- I don't wanna play anymore.
- Come on!

Ger, wanna go in?

Your trunks won't dry.

You'll get my bike's seat wet.

This is nice, isn't it?

Yes.

Thanks.

Why did you stay
if you were so bored?

Hold on.

What about Mariela?

What about Bruno?

Just do whatever
you want to do.

My mom keeps the fridge her.

- The Coke is cooler.
- Great.

You are not my sister's
boyfriend, are you?

No.

- We're just friends.
- Nothing else?

Nothing else.

What?

Are you staying a while?

Yeah.

- Ger, can you give me a ride?
- I don't have the bike.

- I'm going that way. I'll take you.
- Alright.

- Are you staying?
- No.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- It's here.
- Oh.

- I leave it here?
- Yes.

- Hey, I'm sorry, alright?
- Don't worry, we have for sure.

Ger!

- Here, I brought beer.
- Thank you.

- See how long my hair was?
- Yeah.

You like it?

Sure.

- Let's go to the patio.
- Alright.

Thanks.

Ger has quite a temper.

Yeah, he got really mad.

- How long you've been dating?
- A year.

You have a brother, don't you?

Yeah, he's been traveling
for two years.

He's coming back soon.

Nothing happened.

- My parents arrived. That's their truck.
- Oh.

Let's go.

When will I see you?

- Whenever you want.
- Alright.

- Alright?
- Alright.

Get lost.

- German.
- What?

- What happened with Mariela?
- I don't know, get lost.

- May I?
- Yes.

Are you alright, sweetheart?

Yes, why?

I saw Bruno downtown.

It's alright.

Seriously, don't worry.

Did you read it?

I liked it.

Yes, I liked it.

I was unbearable.
So we got scared.

We didn't know what to do.

So finally we turned on a little fan.

Didn't do any good,
it was a really old one.

And we just left it there.

We brought the other
one, polished it...

But where did it come from?

From an a acquaintance...

- Is your sister here?
- Yes she is.

- Is she around?
- She is, yeah.

And we got it fast, right there.
Imagine the smell.

The smell. And it's different, because with
gas it's not the same.

The one from the fridge is different,
it's like gassy.

- What's up?
- All good?

Stop staring at them.

It's for your own sake.
What are you gonna do? Punch him?

No.

They make a cute couple.

Bruno and Juan Pablo.

Again with that.

Well, it's obvious.

- Can you bring me something to drink?
- OK.

- Do you want it?
- Is it for me?

- Yes.
- Thank you.

What happens with Mariela?

We broke up.

Today.

Bruno is spending a lot of time with
Mariela's brother, don't you think?

What do you mean?

Do you want to smoke?

- Sure.
- Let's go outside.

What did you leave Romina?

- Well... She's all yours.
- What?

I mean, I'm going to tell her we're done.

I told him to stop being
a little bitch, and tell her.

Are you kidding me?

What, man?

I knew. How many times
did you want...

- to fuck me?
- No, come on.

- Come on, it's not like that.
- Not him.

- What, you're getting jealous?
- Not jealous. You've got to trust.

- Got to trust, right?
- Got to trust.

Well, should we go tell her?

- You go.
- Well, come with me.

OK, I'll join you.

- Keep watch.
- I will.

- I'll keep watch.
- Let's go.

- You're staying?
- I am.

- That's my jacket.
- It is?

Want to go for a walk?

Sure.

- Is he staying over?
- I think so.

- He sleeps with you. Not with your sister.
- OK.

- I like your room.
- Do you?

Yes.

Is that you?

Yeah, I was just a boy.

Very cute.

Do you fish or is it just
an ornament?

Sometimes I do, with my uncle.

Why don't you take off your jacket?
Get comfortable.

Come. I'll teach you a game.

Close your eyes.

- How obvious.
- No, really. Look.

See that line? Yeah?

I'll caress you with my hand.

And when I reach that line,
you tell me to stop.

Yes? If I move past that line
or stop before I reach it, you lose.

- Alright.
- OK? Close your eyes.

Stop. I could've sworn
you passed it.

Why?

I don't know. That's the game.

OK, now do it with my leg.

Wake up! Wake up!

Romina! Wake up.

We overslept, and we have
to be in church in five minutes.

Your brother didn't sleep here,

so take his bike
and we'll meet you there.

Come on, get dressed.

Now! Come on.

Son!

We're late for Momi's wedding.
Your dad overslept.

Here's your shirt.

Hey, gorgeous. I'm sorry,
but German is in a hurry.

Come on, hurry up!

If you wait for me to change,
I'll take you to your place.

- Hey, dad.
- Hi, baby.

- Can you wake up your brother?
- Sure.

Fuck!

- Did you cut yourself?
- Yes.

We need a doctor to see it.

Come on, let's go.
