The kids in the bikes

–Did you see?

–On TV…
–Are we going?

No, it's a lie, it's a joke…

–I know, you aren't a mugger.
–My mom is going to kill me…

Come here, give me a kiss.

Grape gum.

–Take me away from here.
–Where to?

It doesn't matter…

What's up?

–Everything ok?
–Everything ok. You?



So… where did you bring me?

No, don't look at me like that.
I wasn’t at the radio. I was at the market.

–Juli, everything ok?
–Yes. What's up?

–Hi, everything ok?
–This beer is nice.

Wow! All this?

An awesome mugging.

We made it good today.

Hand me the cheese.
This cheese is amazing…

Wow! This cheese is awesome.

And this fernet.

Nice. Let me check the cheese.

Oi! Listen to my criminal heart.
I'm going to look down my nose at you, boy.

I steal from those who earn a living.
I give it to my mom

'cause we are starving
and you don't know about that.



Don't care 'cause I want your lady for me,
I tell a one thing, I'm cool…

She will come, come and go, in the bike
we are gonna wheelie together.

When we see you in the street
your jaw will drop to the floor my bro.

Whenever you want, we can go to the square
I'll kick your ass,

but I'll take your woman to my bed.

Come again?

Motherfucker.

–Bye honey
–Say what?

What's up motherfucker?

–Chill out, motherfucker!
–I'm gonna beat the shit out of you. Stop it!

Watch out your little hand, daddy.
Take it away.

–Be a good boy and make yourself love.
–Fuck you!

–Easy! Your hand!
–This is the last time.

Yeah, it is the last time.

You better go before it is too late.

Time to wake up, Lauti!

A group of 300 cops from Córdoba
is still locked up inside the police station

claiming for better salaries
besides the Christmas bonus.

The complaint is carried out by the police
of the capitol city, the road police...

and the motorized police.
This is leaving the city without…

Tomorrow you can come, bye bro.
Don't miss this one, right? Bye...

–Tomorrow is going to be difficult
–Uncle… uncle.

What's up, Juli?
…but whoever can come, come

Police from Córdoba is still locked up
inside the police station

You are late.

–I was with Lauti.
–I know you were with Lauti.

Did you see what's going on in the street?

We have nothing to do with that.

You bet!

–Mom don't mess with me!
–What!

Don't mess with me, don't mess with me.
Come over here you dumb-ass.

Juliana, come over here!

Listen to me.

–Good and you?

–Everything good, you?
–Good, here...

–Come on... a pinner.

Keep quiet, I have some stuff
over there at the back.

No, no, but they left some stuff there…

Listen… when are you gonna have?

Don't know… Tomorrow, maybe.

When the shops are open again.
I'll let you know.

–See you, Negro.
–Bye.

Oi Lauti, maybe your mom wants to buy
a new garden furniture that I have.

New new… just saying.

–I'll ask her.
–Awesome

–What is it?
–Not here, we are not puppies…

My mom is at my place we can't go there…

Come here.

Look!

I hate her. I mean it.

–It's just a threat, nothing else.
–She won't let me have my fifteen party.

She won't call the police…

So, what? I hope she call it! Are you afraid?

They took my bike those fuckers…

Don't feel sad.

I'm not sad. Why does she hate me like that?

She doesn't hate you, you said you hate her

Yes, I hate her.

Your period…?

Haven't you heard the kettle?

–Thanks.
–How are you?

Listen to me, I don't want you to move around
in your bike,

The police are everywhere.

You wearing that cap.
They’ll think you are a thief.

Could you take it off?

I like it!

'I like it'.

That urge of you kids wanting
to make your own lives a mess

Your sister.

Hi.

It's positive.

What are we gonna do?

I'm fucked up!

Hey!

What's your mother doing at the store?

I don't know.
She says that since everything is closed...

clients will go. I don't know, her thoughts.

Let's go for a walk.

I can't… I promise to study

This is serious, don't you care?

Of course, I care.

I'll eat and get you.

I don't like it.

You don't like anything.

–You add onion to everything.
–Because it takes onion.

Son, aren't you eating?

Yes.

What is it? Don't you like it either?

Yes, I'm thinking.

About what?

Stuff.

Don't even dare to leave the table.

Who is it? Juliana?

What's wrong with her?
Yesterday her mother called me.

Five times. She was worried.

I’m worried about you,
but I'm not bothering everybody.

What are you doing?

The family

–Is this homework?
–No.

–Who is that?
–You.

–Me?
–Yes.

–So small?
–That´s the way I made it.

Why we don't have feet?

Because we are sitting and you can't see them,
but they are there.

Take the red one.

–Why?
–Because hearts are red and this is a heart.

–Is there something wrong?
–No.

Don't be sad.

I love you.

It's so hot!

It is!

There is air conditioner inside
but the witch won't let you in.

Listen…

There is a way to do it on our own.

–The pills?
–Yes.

No way! You bleed a lot…
I can stand blood.

But is the cheapest way.
I buy the pills and none asks.

What if I bleed to death?

I'll take you to the hospital.

They'll ask me.

If they ask you, you say anything.
It's illegal.

I know… I am not a fool.

I know.

Why didn't you wake me up?

You seemed tired.

I've slept a lot.

Let me see, come…

No, you don't have fever.

I'm not feeling well.

–What's the matter?
–My head aches.

When I sleep siesta, my head aches a lot too.

Take this.

Take this… you'll feel better.

No, I'm not like you,
I don't medicate myself.

Stand the pain then.

Girls, food.

I dreamt with grandpa Genaro.

Really?

Don't smoke in here.

I dreamt I was a kid and I was wearing
a green dress like a princess.

And I was in a catwalk...

And grandpa Genaro was there
and he was clapping

That seems a memory.

Your grandfather always spoiled you.

My dad.

He used to make you dance...

sing...

and then he would clap.

Mom… I want my fifteen-birthday party.

–Do you think you deserve a fifteen party?
–Why not?

Why no!? Do you mean why not?

How many times you told me you were
at Eni's house and you were with Lauti?

Look at me, Juliana,
where were you two going?

Where you party on?
Where you at Lautaro's house?

–You'd better be taking precautions, Juliana.
–Mom

Don't shout at me.

Don't treat me like a kid,
if you let me do things, now deal with it.

Girls, food is ready!

–Mum!
–Easy, Jose.

What did you call me?

–When you are here I always want to go away.
–Come over here.

Come over here, you dumb-ass.

Dumb-ass girl.

She must be with Lauti. Take it easy, honey

No… his mother told me
that she won't let him go out.

–The police are going around like crazy.
–Don't say that.

Kids at the slum won't go to school.
They're not coming to tutoring sessions.

Then, they don't pass the exams
and they drop out school.

Do you see what the pigs do?

–Hi, uncle.
–How are you, Juli?

I've left my job… I'm out.

That's good… Why?

I want to study computing.

What are you laughing at, idiot?

Nothing… is weed.

I almost die with you.

You are like my mom.
She laughs about everything I do.

Oi… It was a joke.

Son!

Come on Lauti get out…

Excuse me! Oi motherfucker!

–What is it now?
–She weights like 300 kilos.

–What? Did you lift her?
–No, but she stands on me.

Hey...

And you...

–What?
–Nothing.

Tell me.

–Do you clean her ass?
–Sure... she's my mom.

Wouldn't you do the same for your mom?

Did you ask your mom
about the garden furniture?

It's brand new.

You didn't ask.

I don't even have a garden, you, silly boy.

What's going on, you absent minded lover?

I tell you something and you give a fuck
and forget about it.

What is it?

–Juli is pregnant.
–What?

Yes.

It must be nice to have a girlfriend.

Look at me, I'm black, poor and queer.
Who is gonna love me?

I mean it, dumb-ass.

I can't talk to you.

Motherfucker!

–Hi.
–Hi.

Can you hold her for a second?

Where is Lauti?

–Did you check the house?
–Yes.

Why do you have that bag?

I stayed at a friend's house.

And now you are staying… waiting for him?

I think so… for a while.

Would you watch her a little?
I'm going over there a little.

Just a little while.

–What if she cries?
–She won't cry.

–Did you argue with Lauti?
–No.

–With your mom?
–Always

–Dad...
–What?

Why did you marry mom?

–We didn't get married.
–I know.

We were in love, above all that.

That?

Well, she got pregnant.

And if she hadn't been pregnant with me?

“Ifs” don't exist.

–Want another mate?
–Yes.

Come here.

Look.

You have a spiderweb here.

Mom, take it easy.

–I love this one!
–The style is great, isn't it?

–Yes, super!
–It's awesome. The color is a pity.

No way I wear green.

–Would you wear one like this but black?
–Yes, I love it.

Look…

This black with this design, look.

–It's so nice like this.
–It's like...

–Is it velvetish or…?
–Yes, it's awesome.

Or iridescent, the fabric… I don't know.

–Are you throwing a fifteen-birthday party?
–Obviously… Are you?

This brightness is awful my God!

I'll go to Gaby's before she closes.
Let's go… are you coming?

Finally.

What are you playing?

–Don't you like it?
–No, I'll play some music.

Oi, I've seen some sketches here.

I love them. I want to learn to draw them.

Come, look.

Is something wrong?

No.

–Did you argue with Lauti?
–No.

–Tell me… come on.
–I'll tell you later

There is something going on.

No.

–Look girls, I brought you gums.
–Yummy!

That's it. You've danced enough, you may go.

Mom, the best part!

–Are you staying, Eni?
–Yes.

I'll be back

–How's it going?
–Fine.

–Your life?
–Fine.

–Your boyfriend?
–No.

No? And what's Juli on?

There with Lauti.

Yes, I know.

Well you know that Juli and Lauti
have already…

No, she doesn't tell me anything.

Yes!

–What's up?
–I'm cold!

Mom!

–What is it?
–I don't know.

Mom!

–Did you know?
–What?

–That they were mugging.
–Everybody was.

Why are you taking the kid?
He didn't do anything.

Poor woman.

Bastards!! Why are you taking him!?
Why are you taking him?!

–How old is he?
–Eighteen.

He is going to be locked a couple of years.

You are sure you weren't there, were you?

Yes.

This is unbelievable, isn't it?

We are lucky the neighbors know us.

These are two for 15.

–Just a second. What is it?
–I have to go.

–Can you wait an hour?
–No.

Listen to me! You eat from this too.

Where are you going? That little bitch
has you in the palm of her hand.

I have to see her.

I have to see her… just a minute.

It's a lot of money.

I know. But the pills are much cheaper.

Yes, but I could die.

–What are you two doing?
–Nothing

You won't die.

Casco, my mom is still waiting for you.

What if I tell it to my uncle?

I don't know.

Maybe he went through this.

Everybody went through this.
This is so common.

Are you sure that you want this?

Yes.

Think about your birthday party.

I won't have it anyway.

Wait here.

She gives me a sideways look.
She doesn't want to smoke.

Take it, Lauti… don't bother her!

I'm fucked up, boy. Everything is wrong…

My mother is sick. I don't know!

What is it?

The same shit. She cannot move.

That.

Hi, Ma.

Do you see what time is it?

–Don't you know what happened today?
–What?

The tele was here.
All the tv channels' stringers were here.

–The tele? Really?
–Yes.

In the evening I watch myself
on the news at eight. There I was.

You?

On the tele! What did you say?

Nothing. Juli's uncle.

–So… What did he say?
–The politics stuff he says.

Stop it! Why the tele was here?

Because of the boy crossing the street,
the one they took to prison.

Yes...

–You have your exam tomorrow.
–Yes, I know.

You better know.

–Juli!
–Uncle!

–Oi, Is your mom at home?
–She is inside.

–Casco is back, did you see him?
–No, I didn't.

–Was he in the lootings?
–No, no.

Well, that's good.

Yes, luckily, I'd say.

–Where you crying?
–No.

Then why do you have that face?

– Where were you?
–Outside.

–But, where?
–She was sitting outside, Florencia.

Can you use a glass, Juli?

–Is Casco going back to school?
–Yes, he told me so.

He was in a mess, that asshole.
I told him that you were expecting him.

I thought that he was in the lootings
since he disappeared.

–No, he didn't go. He said.
–No? Come closer!

No, I'm going to bed, mom.

You ask him when he come here.

–No, you tell me.
–No, he should tell you. You won't believe it.

–Come on, come here, Juli,
–No, Mom. I'm going to bed. Bye, uncle.

Bye, Juli.

–Oi, honey, I have to go.
–Okay.

–Wait. I'll go with you.
–Okay.

Hi, baby. Okay, you?

Yes, I did it again as you say it.
No, it still says positive.

Okay. Bye, I love you.

Juli, Juli. You have to go to school.
Come on.

Can you use a glass?

Bye, mom.

Bye, Juli

–Do you fuck with Lauti?
–Yes, baby.

Where?

I'm telling you that I need a lot of money
and you ask me this.

You can't do that.

What should I do?

What would you do?

I rather die.

But you are braver than me.

Look, the girls.

Don't say anything.

Girls, I can't go dancing!
It's so hard for me.

For you? Really?

You have to let me know
a week before more or less.

I've sent like ten messages.
Such a party we had.

–You won't believe how much we dance.
–Doesn't matter.

–You won't guess those bodies.
–We are gonna throw a party here.

–Okay, come on.
–Let's play some music, look.

This is the way we do it.
Look! It's done. Like that.

You won't guess who was there.

No.

You miss it, baby.

No, I don't know. I can tell you.

He was alone.

You won't guess it. The way he danced.

Crazy.

Again. Again.

–I need to look for something…
–No

–I need to look for some stuff.
–Stop it.

Why don't you? I need to search something.

I'll tell mom.

I hate you.

–Girls, what is it?
–Mum!

Girls, what's going on?

What happens, Jose?

Juli is fighting me!

–My love, are you ok?
–Uhum

Daughter…

I knew it.

Mom, tell me something.

Oi, there was a party in here…

Take it, Negra, count it.

No. Girls were here.

Are you drunk?

A little bit.

Let's have a beer.

I can't, Negra.
I have to get up early tomorrow…

Negro's mother is dead.

Did you know the old lady weight 300 kilos?

300?

I don't know how he did it…

How was the exam?

Okay. I got a six.

Congratulations. Did I tell you
that I always get ten?

He is gone. I've always got ten.
I was doing great.

I was going to go with her.

Yes, sure.

And I'll pay.

It's not your fault.

A little bit yes.

Yes, a little bit yes.

If you are looking for pot, I've have not.

I came to see you, how are you?

Fine and you…

I miss her, but, I don't know,
now I have more time for me.

Juli isn't pregnant anymore.

I'm afraid she stop loving me.

How do you feel?

Well.

Do you want some tea?

I am hungry.

It smells like meat.

I cook meat for you.

Thanks.

–Look mom!
–Oi, Jose!

–Look!
–Very nice, very nice… but let me go.

–But look!
–Not now, Jose…

–Look!
–Jose, later, let go me.

Girls, I'm shitting, girls.

Everything is ok. Easy!

Don't touch anything!

–Girls?
–Mom!?

Come here!

Come come to bed with me.

–What is it?
–A little dog.

Well, sort of a dog.

What is it?

A crocodile.

So cute!

It looks like a crocodile.

Girls go to sleep.

When does the power come back?

It doesn't matter, Jose.
It's time to sleep.

Take it.

They are looking for you!

I am sorry.

I'll pay to your mom.

She's asked for money.

It doesn't matter to whom.

Oi, Juli, stop!

Let's go!

I drive.
