Camila Comes Out Tonight (2021) - full transcript

When her grandmother becomes seriously ill, Camila is forced to move to Buenos Aires, leaving behind a liberal public high school for a scholastic, traditional private institution. Suddenly a senior without any friends, and with her single mother caught up in family affairs; Camila's fierce yet immature temperament is put to the test as she deals with the jarring change of scenery, and the alluring set of possibilities and experiences that lie in wait in the big city.

Let's go, Cami!

- Let's go!
- Play it!

Come on, come on!

- Hold this.
- It's all right.

- Let's go.
- There you go.

- Are you okay?
- Yea.

Caution.

ready

Your back.

Throw the backpack.

- Careful.
- Caution.



- Ready.
- Come on.

I hate the police.

I fell, darling.

Do you have money?

It's 20 pesos each.

- Here.
- Take it.

- Can you owe me 10?
- Sorry.

Yea. I will pay.

You are terrible.

That was intense, wasn't it?

- Yes.
- They appeared out of nowhere.

Cops always come out of nowhere.

There was a moment when I
ran so hard I almost threw up.

How exaggerated.



Thanks.

We light it later.

Let's go.

I had never come here before.

We came with the school.

Surely on the day you were playing
Counter Strike and didn't come.

Yes, maybe.

I kissed Valen here.

Behind an embalmed fox.

I remember he looked
at me with glazed eyes.

Do you like to kiss with your eyes open?

It's not so interesting
to see dead things.

You love being
ignorant. It's unbelievable.

I support you, Lolo.

It was the imperialists
who invented museums.

See, man? Listen to Cam.

I never come to these places
because of the imperialists.

What a face.

Damiana, the Aché girl, was shown here.

She was captured by colonists in
the Paraguayan jungle at age four.

It was the subject of racial studies,

something that was later
considered an aberration.

She was very young and at 14
years old, being a servant to a family,

developed a strong sexual instinct

and for that she was admitted
to a psychiatric hospital.

She died a few months later.

Her body was used for scientific studies

until a few years ago this
museum sent her back to her land

so that she could have a dignified burial.

Do we continue in this section?

accompany me.

CAMILA COMES OUT TONIGHT

The curtains...

And you?

' I what? '

I already told you not to
answer me with another question.

Won't you open your bags?

I don't understand why we have to
share a room when grandma's is empty.

Will she die?

Eat

No.

Grandma will come back at some point.

And the service room will come back too?

Cami said pneumonia is
very dangerous for old ladies.

Didn't you bring coke?

No, your sister doesn't like it.

They're cold.

Martina, what's wrong?

What do you have?

I know it's a big change,
but the optics are a mess.

Who will take care of her besides me?

Shall we live here?

I don't know.

- You have to sign this.
- Yea.

Here are the lady's belongings.

Thanks.

Look.

Here it is...

Subjects,

schedules, classrooms

and also a document I
need your mother to sign.

Bring it as soon as possible, please.

It's going to be all right.

Don't worry, Vanina.

Camila.

Camila... They chose a
beautiful neighborhood.

It's not the frenetic, wild Buenos
Aires they show on TV, so...

They won't have any big problems.

I just wanted to tell you
something about the uniform.

They're a little strict here.

I'm on your side, I think like you, but...

The school does not
promote political ideologies

of any kind.

So I'm going to ask you to...

Take it off.

You can keep it and use it outside.

It's not that serious.

Welcome.

Hello.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Hello.

We wanted to meet you.

Why did you change schools?

Because of my mother's work.

What does she do?

She is a psychologist

but she doesn't practice anymore.

Are your parents separated?

Yeah.

Mine too.

Let me see.

We are together in math.

Are you ok?

I think so.

What do you have there?

Are you a feminist?

It's my business.

Enough, girls. Leave her alone.

You should wear a little more makeup.

Glad you're here, right?

Hi

Lourdes.

Camila.

Are you adapting?

I think so.

Are you from the countryside? Because
you doesn't have much of an accent.

I don't if La Plata counts as ...

countryside.

If I say it is, I'll see you as a
disgusting redneck, won't I?

Come on, don't piss me off...

Franco, please stop bothering me.

You all like..

You think because I'm gay I'm going
to want to act in your piece of shit?

why? No feathers?

Speak straight to me.

The newbie is hot, huh?

Will you sit with her?

Very well...

Ética.

Ethics, in principle,

it is important to understand
that it is the territory of philosophy,

Right?

It is a theoretical
quest for Good and Evil.

Could someone give me an
example that comes to mind?

Ethics is not moral.

Morality is how you
act in a given situation.

So according to morals can you steal?

No, because there is not
just one moral, there are many.

Because each society is unique.

See how the Arabs treat women,

It's okay for them.

what else?

I don't understand the difference.

Here until recently women did not vote.

Yes, very well, but...

The moral concepts of societies
are changing, they are changing.

Well, I'm going to give you
a text to study for the test.

Warn those who aren't
here, take care of your friends.

See you later.

Careful, it's hot.

This one?

No, it has to be a two- pin.

Of the ancients.

This one is perfect.

This one yes.

Yesterday I met a girl in the park
who is from the same school as me.

Seriously?

She said there's an ice cream
shop nearby that's delicious.

Excellent



Leave it and have breakfast.

Can we go there someday?

I told you I can't pick you
up from school every day.

I didn't say every day. When you can.

And what about La Plata?

Said we'd be coming and going?

to see the pope

Going on the graduation trip?

I don't know.

Well, I'm just saying.

Don't promise so many things.

I'll wait for you in the car.

Come on, come on. Silence
because we have little time.

Let's go.

Let's go with this scene, okay?

Come on. Everyone attentive?

Now.

We demand that you
recognize our right to ex...

"To externalize our own thinking".

"We are tired of tyrants
and 'demagogols'".

Guys, silence.

"Demagogues".

"We are tired of tyrants and demagogues."

All right, let's do it
again. All over again.

What are you looking at?

I liked your earrings.

Bought in Barcelona.

Do you know?

No. I never left the country.

My father doesn't want to go anymore.

He is afraid of terrorists.

Terrorists must be
afraid of their parents.

What were you doing?

Nothing.

Your boyfriend will be happy.

Boyfriend?

I didn't understand.

for you.

I have others

Looks good on you, huh?

Thanks.

Let me do just one thing.

That's better.

Hey, Cami!

Come, let's go!

What are you doing here? We will.

I'm in front of you And
your legs are shaking

My legs don't shake
You can't climb a slope

When you go to sleep You
will remember my answer

When it comes to rap, you get dizzy
Don't rhyme, insult me, make a silly face

I don't insult you After listening
to me you become cultured

Then you remember my answer You
want to hit me and it only comes out shit

The battle is here and now
It's no use wanting to leave

And I came to make fun
of you because I'm cool

What the fuck, I know who you
are I think you better walk away

I'll tell you My rhyme
is fuck, you can put faith

My rap is perfect, I rhyme with
your line While you just shut up

I shut up because I'm polite While
you and your rhyme are worthless

You are stupid And if
you think you know it all

Make these rhymes without
grace And totally without content

What is it?

Tea.

from Scotland.

- That hot?
- Yea.

Want me to bring you ice?

Did you go out there?

Sometimes.

Tell us something about Mar del Plata.

- La Plata.
- No!

La Plata?

What a bummer.

And what did you do there, listen to rock?

I don't know why I think
they only listen to rock there.

Yeah, when I was younger, I think.

Boyfriend?

no? Girlfriend?

No?

Are you a virgin?

How many times a day do you masturbate?

I doubt this one is a virgin, friend.

I didn't say anything.

If you are a virgin,
so is the Virgin Mary.

- That is...
- That is, not at all.

Hello.

Hello.

A capitalist drink.

Or famous Cuba Libre.

Quite ironic if you think about it.

Do you like politics, are you an activist?

I feel like I fell in the worst place.

It's a school that poisons
you. One more reason.

I don't want to make
trouble for my mother.

Does it have anything to do with change?

No, my grandmother.

She's on her last legs.

Oh, this sucks.

She's an old fascist.

Never cared about us.

Well, but it can't be
easy for your mother.

Even though she's a monster,

is still her mother.

Can I tell you something stupid?

Coming from you, I don't
think it's going to be stupid.

For a moment I thought
you had followed us.

That you'd seen a story
on Instagram or something.

It's pretty idiocy.

And this one?

It was the first.

and this?

I had smoked a lot.

This one I was in love with.

Was?

Are you selling this?

When did my heart break.

where were you?

I ran out of battery.

Answer what I asked you, Cami.

I was with a friend.

I told you: go get Martina.

Did you take the flashlight
that was in the room?

No.

You were smoking weed, weren't you?

Oh mom, you smoked with your boyfriend...

Cami.

What do you have?

You are a stress ball.

Gotta get out of the optics
'cause you're walking around,

smoking weed,

Without cellphone.

We are in Buenos Aires.

Do you think I don't know that?

Change your tone.

Leave me alone!

Camila.

Camila, listen to me.

Camila!

- Camila, open the door!
- I don't want!

You can't talk to me like that!

Camilla open the door

and ask me for forgiveness!

What happened?

nothing. I can not take it anymore.

I'm like a cat.

And why did you sign up for it?

I don't know. I thought it
was just to float around a bit.

No.

Do you already know each other?

Yea.

What are you doing
dressed in civilian clothes?

Clara, is this civil for you?

Do you have lice or are
you just here to see the girls?

And you?

What did I miss?

Nothing.

Can I borrow your cell phone?

Yes, but I left it in the backpack.

See if that works.

It cost.

Excuse me.

What will you do later?

nothing. call me.

You skate?

I tried, but it's not my thing.

And what do you like?

Numbers.

Seriously?

Chemistry too. I have a lot of ease.

I like a tattooed chemist.

A broken heart tattoo

It's for Clara, isn't it?

Me and Clara?

No broken hearts.

We sat together in sixth grade,

in those classes that force you to mingle.

And we got along well,
we liked the same things.

coups?

Fetos?

No.

The music of the 80's.

I don't know, our first joint
from the first drinking bouts.

I wasn't jealous.

So I'm going to get a tattoo
here: "Camila Forever".

What do we ask for mom?

Rice?

I think she doesn't eat noodles.

What if we ask her to prove it?

I don't know.

And what do you want?

Fried sweet potatoes.

That's not Chinese.

Enjoy and ask for the special.

You always eat french fries.

I know. It's because I like French fries.

Because he said that Columbus was
good and I said no, that he was racist.

- And I said...
- And what did he tell you?

nothing. He said it was another time.

I said that Jesus was not a
racist and that he lived long before.

- You will be president.
- I know.

Olá.

- Hello.
- Sorry...

Are you Cecilia's relatives?

Yes, we are the granddaughters.

Sorry to bother you,
but how is her health?

- She's...
- She's stable.

We are waiting for news.

All right... Let's pray to God then.

Bye girls, thank you.

- Cami...
- Not now.

Ola?

In English, Camilla.

Hello...

Is everything ok?

Yea.

ALL GOOD THINGS ARE FREE AND WILD

What's going on there, guys?

It's okay. We are leaving.

FEMINAZI

This is so. This goes here.

I thought I was done with the shirt.

- Is it all right?
- Is good.

It's a good flag.

- Really?
- Yea.

Let's get started. Frank.

Frank, shall we begin?

- Boys.
- He's an idiot.

Let's go.

In your seats.

Here.

- Take your seat.
- Where?

Oh there. and.

Let's hope everyone gets into position.

Silence.

Let's go.

We the students

we demand our rights.

We will no longer be silent.

Very well.

- We demand our rights.
- Rights? You?

Church garbage, you are a dictatorship.

- Wow!
- No, no, no!

Folks, no.

You go to the board.

Let's start again. Please sit there.

Let's go again, please. Silence.

Wait for me in the car.

You've been suspended for a week.

Show me your cell phone.

I know this is all very important to you

and maybe you don't care,

but I agree with you on many things.

You can behave right. Preach
your ideals without making any noise.

Mom, what are you saying?

You know what this school is like.

You know better than I do.

If you put your or your
sister's education at risk,

I swear it will cost you
more than an insult.

- Hello.
- Hello.

' What's up? '

What mausoleum is this?

So this is where you live.

Are you millionaire?

No. My grandmother is
the one with the money.

We do not.

She won't live forever anyway.

Lourdes ...

O hometown?

And your mother?

It's working.

And your sister?

With her father.

So the house is ours.

Do you have air conditioning?

No, it doesn't.

Lourdes.

How do you not have air conditioning?

My grandmother is a
millionaire, but she is cheap.

It saves energy and stuff.

Typical.

These are my grandmother's.

We wash later.

We could tell you what happened,
but you didn't miss a thing.

A conversation about
the graduation trip raffle

who "suggested" that we participate.

Yea.

A lecture on political neutrality.

This one we owe you.

The famous neutrality of the church?

Abortionists came out
of the closet, at least.

Abortionists?

Lourdes...

we are among friends, give it a break.

What are we going to do today?

I don't know.

Cinema?

Cami

It's Friday.

It's been locked in here
for a week. Let's go out.

Go out?

So you like to roll?

- You too.
- Ever.

And what did I give you?

To tell you the truth,

It's so beautiful I don't want to use it.

I know you like me.

What did you think it was?

And your boyfriend?

I already told you I
don't have a boyfriend.

Now don't you have?

Bruno?

Your friend?

Don't mess with him.

I love him very much.

He also loves you very much.

Let's not talk about Bruno.

What do you want to talk about?

I don't know.

Another thing.

I like your blouse.

If you give me a kiss
maybe I'll give you her.

- Are you blackmailing me?
- No.

Come on, let me... I
have a lot of clothes.

You are unbearable, man.

Girls.

Excuse me.

Pablo.

He needs to go somewhere with you.

So...

No! It's mine.

You have to take it.

Because I have a Tinder
date and he's drunk.

So bye.

- I love you.
- Hey dude?

No, no, no.

And who are these?

You have to speak down.

It's my grandmother with a friend.

A friend?

- Looks more like a girlfriend.

What are you saying?

What are you saying?

Look, I'm not a silent girl.

What is it?

My bitch grandma doesn't
want us to use the bed.

Let's go out today.

Did you tell your parents?

No.

I'm like a stranger to my parents.

If they judge me, they go
crazy. So don't judge me.

And you?

Do you judge?

Sometimes.

It's like something
they put in their brain.

Stick.

they tell you

that you can erase,

but something gets registered as a mark.

Like a computer you say?

The computer you change.

I mean...

Depending on how much money you have...

you end up changing it.

We are more than an old computer, Pablo.

Don't fall in love with that girl.

She is Franco's ex.

Have fun, but don't fall in love.

Boys.

Silence, please.

What's your problem?

I didn't like what you did.

So what?

nothing. Now I wanted to
invite you for a few beers.

No.

Why not?

Because it's not.

- Why not?

Enough, Franco,
stop bothering her.

- Why are you getting involved?

I get involved in
whatever I want.

What are you looking at?

I prefer to keep what happened
the other day just between us.

I know. I'm not an idiot.

I thought you weren't
even going to talk to me.

Don't overdo it.

Don't you feel like you're two people?

What do you mean...

I don't know... The
girl with the long skirt,

the one who smokes,

legal abortion.

Who said I support this?

And what you say bothers me a little.

I'm not two people.

What do you think?

Just because we sleep
together I have to think like you?

- I wasn't accusing
you of anything.

A little, yes.

You kind of think you're on
the right side of something that...

Have you ever gotten pregnant?

What's that got to do with it?

Maybe it has.

I don't know.

You could hear a little bit
what other people are saying.

What happened?

You are confusing me.

- Hi, Mom!
- Hello!

How was school?

I need to practice my English.

Yes.

Shall we have the ice cream you wanted?

Let's go.

Excellent.

Give me five minutes because
I have to talk to your sister.

See something strange?

What is it?

What are you doing?

I'm asking you what
this bra is doing here.

You're not asking me, you're ambushing me.

No.

No.

I am your mother and this is my home.

It's not your house.

And I asked you
not to come in here.

Even more so with a boy.

It's not your home.
And that bra is not mine.

Good...

I was with a girl.

It's okay. I thought you liked boys.

Me too. But let's not talk about that.

Why can't we talk?

Because you're my mother and you're
boring. I don't want to talk about it.

That's why. 'Cause I'm your
mother and I set the rules for you

and I would like you to fulfill them.

It's not your rules. These are
the rules of a dying old woman.

Mom.

Mom.

I thought you were ignoring me.

I have to tell you something.

I sleep with Clara.

Say something.

What do you want me to tell you?

I don't know. How are you feeling.

Weird.

Strange with jealousy?

Why did you tell me this now?

You asked me if I was ignoring you.

I don't understand, does
that make you angry?

No, I'm not mad.

Boys are tough these days.

Is that why you sleep with girls?

I don't sleep with
girls. I slept with one.

Am I a guy like the others?

I didn't say that.

I don't know what you mean.

Me neither.

This is very spicy.

Clara!

What do you want?

Get in or you'll regret it
for the rest of your life.

- Where are you going?
- Come on in.

“We students ask for very important things

and we will do them quickly and on time".

- Don't be mean, Pablo.
- They played rugby.

They're a spoiled bunch who can't read.

I'll have as much fun as I want.

Oh, I forgot the torch.

No...

What torch?

nothing. My stuff.

It doesn't matter.

And you, Bulma, are you
going to the demonstration?

I don't know. You go?

Bulma?

Now you have secret nicknames.

No. We dyed our hair blue once.

Her parents nearly killed her.

I was awful anyway.

Today we are going to dye it
green. Your father will love it.

Oh go.

EDUCATION.PREVENTION. FREEDOM OF CHOICE

WITH CLOTHES OR WITHOUT CLOTHES,
MY BODY MUST NOT BE TOUCHED

THE BEST WAY TO PERPETUATE
PATRIARCHY IS TO EAT ANIMALS

Hello.

Do you know where the cereal is?

I have no idea.

Yesterday I went to
the protest with the girls.

I have to go, Cami.

Bye.

Stop it.

How are you?

I'm fine.

We haven't talked in a long time.

Are you mad at me?

I'm not angry with you.

Sometimes I'm afraid we'll end up here,

then we go to college and
you don't talk to me anymore.

That would be silly.

We were always together.

I already told you.

I don't want to have
any problems with you.

Don't you want to have problems?

And what do you want to have? ;

People change.

Please.

Don't be stubborn.

If so, then I don't want
to be a part of it anymore.

Part of what?

From the lie.

I lied for you.

I forgive you.

If you tell me it's over, it's over.

But I have to do what has to be done.

why, dear?

Because it's the right thing to do.

To Confess.

You will ruin my life.

Maybe you haven't changed that much

how much do you think.

Can you give this to Camila?

pass to cami

Cami.

LOCKER ROOM?

Talk, silly.

There's something on your face.

How stupid are you.

don't make noise

or you will have problems.

Got it?

What's going on?

You come with me.

Come in.

Idiot!

Paul, get out.

- Stop, stop!
- What got into you?

Stop it!

Please.

Wait outside.

Nobody answers.

What are you going to do?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Is this a joke?

It's sexual abuse.

- Girls...
- It's abuse!

He arrives!

Let's hear both sides and see what to do.

For now, nothing.

It's unfair.

In a month he will graduate.

What do you want me to do? Kick him out?

Kick him out
because of a fight?

Argument?

You're on edge, Lourdes.

Yes?

You are 17 years old.

A lifetime ahead to do what they want.

Why don't you work things out?

Enjoy the trip. We ended the year well.

I'm asking you, please.

Friend.

- Hey.
- Friend!

Excuse me, excuse me.

I wasn't going
to do anything...

I know, I know.

They told me you can't be here.

I don't know where to take him.

I'll take it.

Seriously?

- Yes.
- It's all right.

You can't stay here any longer.

Thank you.

Fuck you.

She doesn't answer.

She must be working, Cami.

No, I was a jerk yesterday.

She doesn't even look at my face.

Are you ok?

What are you feeling?

I got lucky.

She's an idiot.

I told you she was shit.

Pablo, not helping.

Did I tell you or not?

Enough, Pablo,
it's not helping.

Let's do what you say.
Turn everything upside down.

- School is like that, Cami.
- No, no.

No...

It's useless.

Also, it won't change anything.

I want to go home.

Are there kids in your
class who annoy others?

There's one they call fat,

another one they call gay.

And why do they do this?

What do you think?

I don't know.

They are kind of idiots.

Complete idiots.

These are first- rate coffins.

I'm offering you the best we have.

Also, they pair up in the
pantheon with their father's coffin.

This is paid?

No. It's just the wishes
stipulated by your mother.

But don't worry because
we take care of the transport,

the car is imported, very elegant,

the team is first rate.

All our services include crowns.

Crowns?

These are imported white roses.

Oh, imported roses too.

Do not worry.

We're out of season, but
they're in the pack if you like.

Good...

If everything is in order, what
remains is the table service.

- 'We have...
- No

- We have...
- No.

I will not bury my mother
in that terrible pantheon,

much less spend money
on what you're offering me.

My mother is dead and
so are most of her friends.

I don't care and we're
not going to be a part of it.

Poor mama, she was never a free woman.
Let her be free now that she is dead.

Let's cream it.

And the ashes later we see where to throw.

I understand. I'll show
you the urn catalog.

And of course, with all
our services, the crowns.

Let's go?

Do you want?

Oh, do you smoke too?

Sometimes I take a drag.

Never buy is the rule.

I was pretty naughty the other day.

Yes.

Look, Cami, I don't know
if I'm a very strong woman,

but i know i'm a good person.

So I wish you would treat me better.

I thought I was okay
with the change story...

- But...
- I'm not doing well at school.

I didn't want to tell you.

It was not my intention.

I know.

Ok...

If you want to take the tests remotely,
you will no longer need to go to school.

You don't worry me, Cami.

I admire you.

If I weren't your mother,
I'd be a little jealous of you

because you don't care what
others think when you say...

And say what you think.

You too, mom.

Which?

You are like that too.

Come here.

But that kitten has to
go You know, don't you?

- Yes.
- Yea.

How do you feel about your grandmother?

I don't have much time.

I'm waiting for my mother.

Will you return to La Plata?

Clara,

tell me what you have to tell me.

Don't wind me up.

Do you remember when I
asked if you were ever pregnant?

When I was dating
Franco, I had an abortion.

And now he's threatening
to tell my parents.

I wanted to tell you in the locker room,

but Franco showed
up and... I don't know...

I was scared.

Sorry...

for what he did to you.

And I didn't do anything...

hurt me,

but i understand.

Someday you're going to have to
rethink whether it's worth being afraid.

Evaluate yourself.

Make sure you're not
giving away for free...

a beautiful thing.

Do you forgive me?
