My Friend from the Park (2015) - full transcript
Running away from a bar without paying the bill is just the first adventure for Liz (mother to newborn Nicanor) and Rosa (supposed mother to newborn Clarisa). This budding friendship between nursing mothers starts with the promise of liberation but soon ends up being a dangerous business.
How's my baby?
What? Do you want more? Here.
That's good.
That's it.
Very good.
You're so cute
You're so cute
It's so cold
Quack, quack, quack.
Quack, quack, quack.
Look.
Very good.
Hello, honey.
Mom is taking a shower.
Hi, Liz, hi, Nica.
How are you?
This is dad. Da-ddy.
Hello, Liz,
I was tidying the desk
and I found a very nice quote
from Nicanor Parra.
I'll read it to you.
"Perhaps, one day, we will all
come together
and firmly stand together like
hens defending their chicks."
What I need is someone to
give me a hand.
I'm a little overwhelmed.
I moved recently...
There, there.
Perhaps someone who can help
with house chores
who can help me organize my day
My husband travels a lot.
That's...
How many kids do you have?
Three are already grown-ups,
and the youngest
is turning 16.
So, you understandwhat I'm talking about.
Yes, the youngest
was unexpected.
Honestly,
I didn't want any more,
but I had a steady job
at a lady's home,
I had everything set up
and she came.
Are you married?
Yes. But my husband
passed away.
Yes. He was a railway worker
and had an accident.
Let me hold him a minute,
see if I can calm him down.
- How difficult for you.
- How cute.
Yes. Anyway, my three eldest
are from another man.
I didn't marry him,
because he hadn't divorced.
- Oh.
- Yes. Anyway, we separated.
He travels a lot,
doesn't live here,
and he saw other women...
He would walk by my house with
these other women
So I asked him to leave
and he was okay with it.
And I complain
with just one kid.
You're complaining
for the sake of it.
Hold him for a minute,I'll make some tea.
Yes, go ahead.
I think we'll manage just fine.
Also, you don't have your mom
and you look pretty lonely.
He's weighing...
Look, he's
at 15 pounds and 7 ounces.
- That's good, right?
- Very good.
Now, let's see
16 inches.
Look. He instantly
looks at you, his mom.
- Hi, honey.
- Look.
If I am worried,
does he notice?
Look, what's important is thebond you create with him.
You can see this in even the most
disadvantaged of families,
those that are limited and can'texercise their most basic rights
that if the mother plays with
her child, talks to him,
supports him,
is available for him,
that child is protected.
Sure.
It is also good for him
to interact with other people.
You told me you go to the park,
you are with other moms.
That's a nice time for him,
because he's outside,
under the sun.
- For you.
- Despite the cold?
Yes. otherwise, children
in Patagonia wouldn't go out.
The shovel, the shovel
- lifts everything...
- Hi.
Hi.
Do you need some help?
I'll try.
I'll try and see if he likes it.
But I think he doesn't.
- Don't be upset.
- Is it the first time?
Yes, I tried
some other time, but...
Don't be upset.
What's her name?
Clarisa. "She sees everything."
What a nice name.
- And him?
- Nicanor.
Do you breastfeed her?
No. My sister did.
Our mom passed away a year ago,
and it was very sad.
And she didn't have
anymore milk.
and then we started with the bottle.
But look at her, she grows just the same.
My mom passed away
about a year ago, too.
I was pregnant.
Do you have a partner?
Yes. Yes, but he's in Chile,
working.
So we manage by ourselves.
Do you have a car?
Yes. Why?
I have a theory.
A single mom
needs a car.
But I'm not single.
Well, I mean, with your husband
being away
Single mom, husband away.
Would you come with me
to the seesaw?
The doctor told me it's good for them
to try different sensations.
It goes up and down, so...
go up.
Down, down, down.
go up.
That's it. Down.
I think they're good, right?
Okay.
Yes, it's getting
a little cold.
Liz, let's eat something.
But it's 11:00 am,
do you want to eat now?
Why not?
I must confess I like the idea
of having a beer now.
Of course.
After that,
you're soothed all day.
Once, I spent a whole month
drinking beer.
With a boyfriend I had.
In Mar del Plata.
I had a boyfriend
in Mar del Plata, too.
- No.
- Yes.
I'm so rude. I didn't ask youif you like onions.
I do.
In fact, my husband
is crazy about onions.
And what's he doing?
He's making a documentary
in a volcano.
And he left you the car.
- Yes.
- Okay.
How many people
does it fit?
- I don't know, four, five.
- Regular.
- Yes, like any car. Why?
- Okay.
No, because my sister is not fine
and I want to help her and...
Anyway, you look like
you're an awful driver.
- Why?
- Yes, like you go like this.
No, you're wrong.I'm not a bad driver.
Then some time I'm goingto ask you a favor with the car.
- I'm going to the toilet fora sec.- Okay.
What?
No, it's okay.
Leave the stroller.
No, it's okay.
As you wish.
Occupied.
What do you do, Liz?
I work in a publishing house
and I write, too.
Sometimes, some things.
And you?
great.
I work at a factory
and I bake stuffed bread
on the side.
I sell them.
Can I read what you wrote?
Sure. I'll give it to you later.
I wrote a novel.
- Okay.
- Yes.
And what are you doing now,
a novel about motherhood?
No. That's not something thatappeals to many.
Cheers.
I think he's a little tired.
Let's do this.
I've eaten and drunk enough.
I'll give you money. Okay?
Liz, I think
we can help each other.
I have a proposition,
because my sister...
Wait. Let's arrange to meetanother day,
because if he doesn't get his sleep,
he gets fussy.
Okay.
Let's see.
What are you doing?
Are you leaving, too?
Keep putting on your coat.
You're leaving, why would I stay?
- Yes, but don't rush.
- Don't stay still. Come on, walk.
What are you doing?
Go. Go. Come on Liz.
Wait!
You turn and I keep going.
Hi, Liz. Hi, Nica.
How are you?
We are now moving
from a location to another.
We've just finished this part,
we haven't reached the volcano yet.
Answering your question, honey,
the volcano is inactive,
so you can relax.
The lava is quiet.
Nica, I miss you a lot.
I know you don't understand,
but look.
If he laughs, tell me, Liz.
Tell me how you're doing,send me things, I miss you guys.
Everything here is fine,I'm happy...
- Liz! You're a mom!
- Hi, Nati.
How amazing!
How cool you brought him!
Hello!
- Who does he take after?
- How are you?
- Liz Caridi, you're here.
- Hi, Adolfo.
- How are you?
- Fine.
All these can't match up
to you.
You're ruining us withyour absence.
No, I don't think so.
They're great.
Thanks for standing up for us.
It was a joke, Luciano,
don't be so sensitive.
- We're getting organized.
- There's a lot of things?
Yes, and I'm doingthe play, too.
You've got to come
see my play.
Yes. You wrote it, right?
Yes. The music and the text.
- So...
- That's great.
- So?
- Great.
Fine. You?
Fine, I'm fine.
But I haven't had a child,
so I don't have much news.
Tell me about you.
I don't know.
There's so much
I don't know how to tell it.
I'd call it Nicanor.
And breastfeeding,
how's it going?
No, I couldn't do it.
I didn't have any milk,so I'm bottle feeding him.
I didn't know.
Then it's perfect, with the bottle.
No, Lucho, it's not perfect.
It's not perfect.
It's not fine.
- Why?
- Because in general...
Did Mara breastfeed?
Yes, Mara was breastfeeding
all the time.
Hey, don't.
Don't worry.
I'm so ashamed, I swear.
The first thing you have to do is
to take your kids out of your bed.
Yes, of course. Talk?
Of course.
- Yes, not talking, I mean...
- I have no choice.
"How are you? How do you feel?"
A caress, you know?
Sometimes
we're fighting all day
and I don't feel like going
and touching his leg to start something.
- It's too much.
- Why, is it forced?
Yes, you're fighting all day
and then, what do you do by night?
Make up?
It's hard.
We've got two children.
It's not work, but we've got twochildren, how do you do it?
A certain day,
at a certain time.
The thing about frequency is that
it goes beyond just how often you do it.
I think the connection is important.
Agus and I have a sexual connection
that really pierces me as a woman.
I never felt that,
and having that is great.
Having it is unique,
and you have to value it.
I mean, doing it for the sake of it
is weird, too.
I mean, it's cool,
but it's weird.
Sometimes it's nicebeing surprised.
- Yes, if you can do it.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- See you.
But it's also nice to connect
with a dinner.
- Hi, Rosa.
- Hi.
What an idea,
leaving without paying.
Look. I brought you the cup.
- I took it.
- Thank you.
I think you took my money.
Maybe, I don't know.
I don't have anything here.
I'll pay you later.
Yes, it's okay.
Is anything wrong? Clari?
She's with my sister.
Renata.
She was supposed to be here
an hour ago.
I don't know where she is.
There's a lot of traffic.
No, there isn't much traffic.
And it's pretty cold, too.
- Do you want one?
- Okay.
- Do I light it for you? Can you?
- Yes.
You see her? That's "One Subject."
Once she accused me
of stealing a bucket.
- Buckets are all the same.
- Really.
When I was a child, I went
on holiday with my parents to Brazil.
There were a lot of people.
And I was holding
my mom's hand,
and I let her go
to look for something,
a lot of people
got in the middle,
and I lost sight of her.
- In another country.
- Yes.
I lost sight of her.
And I started walking
to the other side.
Did they leave?
No, they didn't see me
and I started walking
towards the other side.
- Awful.
- Yes. Horrible.
Did you get lost some time?
No, I didn't get lost,
but I remember one time,
we had to take a train,
my mom
always complained
that she got Renata and I ready
and we were never ready.
And I remember
the train was about to leave,
and my dad got on
and my mom got on
and we were joking,
Renata and I joked
all the time,
and the train left.
My name is Liz.
Any information you may have
is very important for us.
I live nearby, so you call us,
we're here two blocks away.
- Perfect. I'll let you know.
- Thank you very much.
Remember, the woman is called Renata
and the baby, Clarisa.
Tell him what Renata looks like
so he recognizes her.
Renata is
tall, slim, straight hair.
And the baby is a baby,
with the stroller.
- Fine. I'll let you know.
- Thank you very much. Bye.
It's here.
The good thing
is we're really close to the park,
so we can go quickly.
I'll put Nicanor to sleep.
Do you like tea?
Yes.
I have some flavored ones.
They're delicious.
Excuse me.
Can I go to the toilet?
Yes. It's there.
I'll make some spaghetti now
and you'll see
what a bad cook I am.
Liz? My sister, Renata
fell in love with a guy from the chat.
He's called Mauro.
They started chatting in a forum.
Then they switched to Skype.
Now, about nine months ago
or a year,
she lives in another world.
And she doesn't even have a job,
but at least she's better.
I don't know.
Sometimes she laughs.
That's why I tell you.
She doesn't know the guy.
But you know?
I swear...
if she comes back,
and everything's fine...
I want to take her
to meet him.
- Where does he live?
- In Saladillo.
Do you dare drive
116 miles?
I've never driven on the highway.
Well, but I'm a good copilot.
I know about maps.
I don't have
an extra car seat.
That's no problem.
It is a problem.
It is a big problem.
I was thinking...
maybe Renata can come here,
help me with something...
Yes, maybe.
I can't send her by bus
like this.
Also, Mauro, that boyfriend,
I don't know him.
I have to meet him, find out
what his job is.
And Clarisa,
she has to see the place.
- Yes.
- Do you understand me?
Of course. I understand you.
The thing is that I need
to get organized.
Of course, I understand you.
And you haven't met Renata.
If you've met her,
you wouldn't hesitate to help me.
Let me think about it.
There's the issue
of the extra car seat...
- On my lap.
- No.
It's forbidden, it's a law.
Children have to go in a car seat.
I have one for Nicanor,
but not for Clarisa.
And you don't know anyone
who has a car seat?
Because I don't.
Lucho might have. A friend.He has two kids.
- No, I'll call him later.
- Call him. It's just a minute.
- I'll call him later.
- Call him, why not?
We go before your husband
comes back.
And we come back.
It's just 116 miles.
Hi, Lucho, it's Liz.
How are you?
I'm calling you
from another phone.
I wanted to ask you something
out of the blue.
Do you happen to have
an extra car seat?
It's ringing.
- Maybe Santi's or Serena's?
- It says Gustavo.
We talk later.
Kisses. Bye.
Yes.
How are you, honey?
Hi, honey. How are you?
Can I talk to you
some other time?
Right now I'm having dinner
with a friend.
I can't hear you, there's...
We're chaining the car
because... Look.
No, I'll go to the kitchen.
Don't worry, I'll go.
Look, I'll put the headphones on,
so we can talk better.
What's that? Is Nicanor crying?
go, go.
- Look, eyes wide open.
- Wait.
- No, Rosa.
- Hi, mom.
I don't take him out of the darkness,I don't want him to wake up.
Or he'll sleep really late.
So what if he doesn't sleep?He doesn't have to work.
- Hi, how are you?
- And you are?
I'm Liz's friend,
she's sleeping the baby now.
She'll be right back.
Honey, Nicanor just woke up.
- This is Rosa.
- How are you?
How are you over there?
Fine, fine. Sven is happy,
because it's much more bleak.
It's a woman with a baby girl.
I've already given you
the phone number.
Thank you very much.
Rosa is in the bathroom.
Hello?
Yes, she'll be down
in a minute.
Rosa!
- What's up?
- Hurry, hurry.
- What happened? Hurry what?
- Here.
What happened
is what I ask you, Rosa.
Who is she?
What are you doing here?
She's Liz. She's a friend
who helped us.
Are you crazy?
Why didn't you go home?
Why didn't you go to David's?
Do you want her to catch
bronchiolitis gain?
Shut up. Don't you see
you're the one who's wrong?
The cell phone's battery
died, Rosa.
Stop making things up.
To get your way, I know you.
All night.
Why don't you think about her?
Wait a minute, Rosa.
If you start again with the time
I left Clarisa alone,
you can go to hell!
First, shut up.
And then get on the taxi.
And then we'll talk,
because what you put me through
is unforgivable.
get in the taxi.
- It's over.
- Get in the taxi!
- I have no money.
- I don't have a cent.
Why do you take a taxi?
Do you want me to walk
everywhere looking for you?
Rosa, I have money.
Come on, get in.
Thank you. I'll pay you back later andyou can give me your answer on what I’ve asked.
- Yes. Okay.
- Yes?
How's my baby?
Did he sleep well?
Yes. So-so.
Liz, do you smoke?
No.
Did you sleep on the couch?
Yes. Yes.
What's up, honey?
One, two, three, four.
- Liz!
- Hi, Cora.
- How are you?
- Fine, very well.
- Fine?
- Fine.
- What are you doing?
- Nothing, just going that way.
- I'll go with you.
- Okay.
How's Nicanor?
Fine, here he is.
What a cold day, isn't it?
My mom told me
to go to the mall,
because she's always telling me
what I should and shouldn't do...
I'm fed up.
I didn't want to go to the mall.
It's noisy,
the shops, the music.
- Yes.
- It's all consumerism.
I hate consumerism.
What do they want to buy?
- What do they want to buy?
- Yes.
- And look at the day.
- He likes outdoors better, too.
He gets fussy in malls.
He doesn't like them.
Look at the day.
I hate to say
my mom is right.
I hate to be here and say
I'll go home.
- Really, right?
- Yes.
Hey, some moms are having
like a parenting meeting.
Twice a week, two hours.
We'll rotate houses.
Yes.
Children will have fun,
don't you think?
And we can talk
about parenting issues.
One day we talk
about fears.
Another day, about anxieties.
Another, about doubts.
- I don't know, different issues.
- Oh, maybe.
And we share what we feel.
- Is there anywhere to share this?
- No.
There are no magic recipes.
No, right.
Maybe I'll go, yeah.
Because...
The other day I saw you...
That you were talking
to the R sisters.
The R sisters?
Rosa and Renata.
I saw you talking to Rosa.
Oh, Rosa, yes.
They are some characters.
- They're not like you and me.
- Why?
Has she asked you for
your car?
I don't know, Cora,
what do you mean?
I'll get going,
because, look, he just got up.
It's getting cold and he's really fussy.
I'll get going.
- I'll give you a hand.
- Then he gets worked up.
I'll help you.
Take him, calm him down.
It's okay.
Calm him down,
I'll get the stroller up.
- Thank you.- Poor thing. Go with mommy.
I have two kids.
- I know.
- Thank you.
No, we have to help each other.
She's "One Subject".
I want to know
how you're doing. Renata?
Fine. Renata wants to thank you.
No, tell her she doesn't have to.
She wants to go for a walk to
a beautiful place. Full of trees.
The three of us.
- How much fun.
- Yes, it'll be nice.
Okay, I'd love to.
- Ok. great!
- Tell her I love the idea.
- I tell you, too, I love the idea.
- She's with me, I'll tell her.
Ok. We'll talk later to planwhen to meet up.
I don't know
what to do with Nica.
Don't cry, honey.
Okay. My number
is on the fridge. Just in case.
I just gave him
the bottle.
So, if you can,
don't feed him.
Since I don't breastfeed him
and he's so little.
- Don't worry. I have your number.
- So I feed him.
I've looked after children
since I was 12.
Don't worry.
For me, luckily, all the smell thing
stopped after the delivery.
Some women have that,
like before and after delivery.
The delivery, the delivery.
Rosa, did you have a
natural birth or c-section?
What?
What kind of delivery
did you have?
Did you tell her
Clarisa was yours?
No, silly, I didn't have
a delivery.
What...?
I don't know what to say.
I didn't say that.
- I gave birth to Clarisa.
- Ah.
Right.
No, no.
Right. I don't know
what I thought,
what association I made.
Actually, when you said,
"My sister breastfeeds her..."
It sounded weird.
My sister.
Rosa, Aunt Rosa.
- Aunt Rosa.
- Right.
You know, from now on,
I'm Aunt Rosa.
I love this coat, you know?
I wanted to tell you
from the first moment.
- I love it.
- Yes, it's nice.
- Very nice.
- Yes, yours is nice, too.
Let's switch.
Let's switch.
- No.
- Yes, yes.
This is a light coat.
A light coat? Look.
I'll give it to you
for a week.
You think about what I've asked.
And when we switch back coats,
you give me your answer.
- About taking you to Saladillo?
- Yes.
I'll ask my husband today
about the car.
- The oil...
- Look at here with the coat.
The air.
Hello.
Hi, Yazmina.
Hi, Liz.
Hi. Hi, baby.
You had your milk.
Did he have his milk?
Yes, I gave him.
He was crying
and I thought it was the time.
Then he fell asleep.
It's fine.
But you know I told you
about breastfeeding and bonding?
The doctor told me.
Babies sometimes cry.
For some other reason,
not because they're hungry.
If I can't, I can't.
If it's possible, it's best
if I feed him, but...
I'll wait for you.
I'll wait for you every time.
But if I have to, I'll feed him.
Because he can't suffer,
he doesn't understand
his mom isn't here.
He's hungry and that's it.
- Okay?
- Yes.

Hello, daughter.
I'll bother you with another quote
from Nicanor Parra,
my grandson's namesake.
"I really want to yell,
Long live Andes mountains!"
I thought it was nice.
Hello, friend, this is Lucho.
Will you come to see my play?
How are you, Liz?
My coat, did Rosa give it to you?
Just for today.
Look, this bag is full of food
Rosa cooked for you.
There's some stew.
In this orange Tupperware
there's chicken stew.
It must be great.
Rosa told me
to get in the house with you.
That you need help.
And you know something?
I'm an ace in deep cleaning.
No, Renata, really,
it's not necessary.
There we go.
Look at the dirt
between the sheets.
When will you finish?
Because he's about to fall asleep.
You look very tired.
You don't know
how great Saladillo is, Liz.
gorgeous.
I've never been.
But my boyfriend sent me pictures.
Just looking at them
you smell nature. It's incredible.
Food must be amazing.
Local products.
How nice. Clari will like
her new home, then.
Clari won't stay.
No, you leave me there
and then you come back.
I misunderstood.
I'll go change him.
Can I use Skype?
I'm serious, don't laugh.
How are you going
to keep me warm?
- You?
- Yes.
- Heating.
- And what heating?
- Firewood.
- Firewood?
Yes, do you like firewood?
- I love it.
- Great.
And listen,
did you arrange
where we're going to sleep?
- Yes, yes.
- Is it ready?
- Yes, it's ready.
- And how is it?
Fine. I put some blankets.
And I swept the floor,
so it's clean,
so you don't get any allergies
or anything.
You're crazy.
No, I'm serious.
Everything's real nice.
I did it for you.
Really.
You know?
I'm about to finish.
I'm finishing up here.
Let's do this.
In ten minutes I'll be on the bus
on my way home.
And then you can call me
and we continue talking.
Okay, okay.
And we can talk.
- Okay.
- Great. I call you.
Renata?
Nicanor fell asleep,
you did a lot...
- I can cook myself.
- Okay. Okay.
I hope you've had the chance
to get to know me
and you can see
I am a good person.
- Yes.
- Don't worry.
We have organized
everything. Okay?
It's very late.
I give you 100 pesos.
Okay. We'll see
which sister keeps this money,
your friend Rosa or me.
My coat?
I prefer you arrange that
with her.
You know what I wanted
to ask you, Liz?
Could you give me something
in advance, 100 for next time?
No. Look, Renata,
there's been a misunderstanding.
I'm sorry.
I don't need someone
to help me.
I already have someone
who helps me.
I can manage by myself.
That you are by yourself, I can tell.
But that you can manage, not at all.
Hi, it's Rosa,
leave your message.
Hi, Rosa, it's Liz.
Renata just left my home.
I just went through
a horrible situation.
I don't know if she's having
another episode.
I need to talk to you.
Please call me.
Hi, it's Cora.
I can't answer.
Leave your message
and have a nice day.
Hi, Cora, it's Liz.
How are you?
I was thinking
the day is nice.
- Sebas!
- Bruno, take your coat off!
- What?
- Come!
So you can draw
your own conclusions.
What's up?
Tell Liz
about the R sisters, with Rosa.
-About what?
-About the car.
She stole it.
She stole my car.
Suppose I left the keys here.
I came and it wasn't here.
I tell them, "My car was stolen."
We went to the police,
filed a report.
I reported it to the insurance.
Stress, anxiety.
- Terrible.
- He was desperate.
Two days later, Rosa shows up
at home with the keys
and she tells me,
"I took your car."
She went to Mar del Plata.
She drove 300 miles with my car.
- She hadn't asked for it?
- No, of course not.
She had never
asked for the car.
At least make everything clear.
Can you wait for me there
for a minute, please?
She shouldn't lend her the car,
she'll steal it.
At least, I don't know,
she knows.
- She's around here.
- I think this is serious.
She's here, selling.
She's working here.
- Well.
- So I'll go ask her.
- We'll go with you.
- We'll go with you.
I think the best
is to go with you.
We come here all the time.
Hello, Rosa.
I need you to tell me...
about a situation that happened
some time ago with Sebas' car.
Yes, specifically, the car.
But that's...
What are you talking about?
I don't understand.
Since that happened
with my car,
and now we heard
you were asking her...
- But what...?
- Just to know.
But that's over.
We want to get everything clear.
You want to borrow my car,
they tell me this,
I need to know.
I want to hear your side.
- She doesn't want to worry.
- What's going on?
Nothing happened. At that time,I had an urgent situation,
so I took his car,
that's true,
and I took it to Mar del Plata
for two days.
I apologized
and he accepted.
And now, now that's over.
I asked for your car,
and you can say no.
She wanted to know,
so she's cool.
We cleared the air,
we heard each other.
- That's it.
- I think that's it.
For me, that's it.
- Okay.
- Let's go.
Bye.
Let's see.
Is everything okay
with your cousin?
Yes, perfect. He doesn't bother
anymore, thank you.
Perfect.
You're talking
like you're superior.
No, I'm not superior,
but I do have more information.
- That's true.
- I don't care, I don't agree.
This is a meeting.
We can talk,
but there are children here.
I don't like my child
listening to this.
I don't like my child
at the park listening to gross things.
- If there's more freedom...
- Gays are freer. I don't care.
What did you say?
Maybe you're more used
to talking about that.
In your gay world
you talk more freely.
- Here, we don't.
- No doubt about that.
No doubt about that.
You know what? No doubt.
- Not here.
- Totally.
- I'm not used to...
- We don't pretend.
It looks as if it's a subject...
We don't pretend.
That's my point.
I think abortion is an issue
that should be in all homes.
- Yes, but it depends...
- It's about support...
- This isn't the time.
- And it's about freedom.
I'll move the vegetables up
so they don't ruin so fast.
You should choose a day
to do the groceries.
I tell you about the food,
because you're so thin.
And Nica, too.
I like to clean it
with alcohol.
Alcohol is the best
for these things.
And also it's something
that you don't clean so often.
If you saw the marks...
- Yazmina.
- Yes?
Look at this.
What's that?
Be very careful.
This is a toy.
It's not real.
Anyway, it's impressive.
It could scare someone away.
I don't know, contents.
The thing
is the guy publishes.
He was going back,
and I got a meeting with him.
He's taking a lot of books
from writers from here.
I don't know,
if you're interested...
Yes. I'm interested.
- Yes?
- Very much.
You can come to that meeting with me.
I'll arrange.
Yes, great.
- You can arrange, right?
- Yes, it's work.
great, then.
- I'll arrange a meeting for the three.- Great.
Let's go up, or it'll be very late.
Stay in the audience while I go
talk to the guys for a second.
We watch the play
and then we eat something.
There's a vegetarian.
How is Mara?
Fine.Today she went out
with her friends.
She went to have dinner.
And the kids?
Yes, with her.
They were all mothers.
- But with the kids.
- Yes, with the kids.
They're older.
Do you know what I remembered
the other day?
What?
Oh, god.
Do you remember
that trip to Lima?
That we did together?
Yes.
Why?
Nothing.
They'll check the sound now.
Okay. I'll start tuning.
Come.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Is Nica sleeping?
Yes, he fell asleep.
I just gave him the bottle.
No, Yazmina, I told you
I'd give him the bottle.
But he was hungry.
My point is, that it's importantfor me to give him the bottle.
Since I couldn't breastfeed, it's importantfor me to share that special moment with him.
I apologize for speaking to
you like this,
but I really feel it's important...
Gustavo told me
to give him the bottle.
I'll call him.
Hi, Gustavo. It's Liz.
Yazmina told me
you told her, remotely,
to give Nicanor the bottle.
Honestly, I feel
we don't have communication.
It's no good for me.
He's with the boxes, and do you know
what makes me angry?
Hi. How are you?
Hello.
I don't want to eat that any more.
I'm fed up. He can do
what ever he wants.
Take it.
See you, honey.
I almost kissed you on the mouth.
See you. I'll take the egg one.
Bye.
No matter how in love she is,
and that she wants to start
a new life in Saladillo...
Clarisa won't be alone.
Yes, you're like her mom,
but you're not her mom.
Okay, you understood everything.
I don't know.
And about this guy's car, Sebas,
what's...?
You owe me money
you never gave me back.
What money?
- You owe me money, Rosa.
- What money?
100 pesos? How much?
No, more.
How much?
- It doesn't matter.
- Tell me, how much?
The taxi, 100 pesos
I gave your sister...
A coffee and what you gave
my sister. 100 pesos.
- No, but it doesn't matter.
- Really, it doesn't matter.
I think you don't care
about that money.
I don't know, it's weird,
all of a sudden, the money.
I don't know,
there are many things I don't like.
There are many things
I don't like, either.
For me, friendship
is something different.
We don't understand each other.
We see some things
very differently.
That's why, it's impossible.
You don't even know
how you want to be as a mother.
You don't have
a motherly instinct.
At least, you don't have it yet.You have everything to learn.
You have everything to learn,you're not even a mom.
You've crossed the line. It'll bevery hard to recover from this.
- Hi, everyone.
- Hi.
Seba, I need to talk to Rosa.
- Did something happen?
- No, but I need to find her.
- What happened?
- She must be working.
I can take you to her job.
Thank you.
Wait, I'll get a car from the crew
and I'll take you.
I need to find Rosa.
Rosa is crazy,
you know that, right?
Yes, right.
Jorge. Listen, is 611 free?
Yes, this is the place.
Hey, listen. Calm down.
l mean, it's better
to talk things over.
I tell you, I always
keep everything in,
I suffer a lot.
Well.
Bye, thank you.
Good luck.
See you at the park?
- Yes.
- Okay. Let's go, Jorge.
Excuse me.
Ever since Nicanor has been here...
in the world...
My mom...
Don't worry about me.
Nicanor is so...
so, so...
small.
Did you see him?
You understand me.
I need your help.
Do you feel better?
- I feel a little ashamed...
- Sorry.
Hi.
Hi, Yazmina.
Hello, honey.
Is everything fine?
How nice.
How nice to take a bath.
Do you know how to install it?
- No.
- I'll give you a hand.
It's great, Lucho.
You saved me.
Is Gustavo back already?
No, not yet.
Mara?
What?
No, how is she doing?
Fine.
Mind your driving,
you're pretty terrible.
That's not true.
Wait, this one goes there.
It's a matter of practice,
that's true.
What are you doing?
I'm smoking occasionally.
See you.
Have a safe trip.
Hello, children, how are you?
Welcome to sing
We start saying
who we are
You are...
- Antonia.
- Antonia, how are you?
And now all parents say hi.
Hello, Antonia, how are you?
And now the little one.
- Clarisa.
- What's her name?
- Clarisa.
- Clari.
Clari.
Hello, Clari, how are you?
Louder, mommies,
I can't hear you.
- And this little boy?
- Nicanor.
Nicanor.
Hello, Nica, how are you?
And I have one more cutie here,
what's your name?
Hello, Juju, how are you?
Yazmina.
I'm so sorry.
I'm freezing, Liz.
I'm sorry, sorry.
I forgot.
- I'm sorry.
- Let's get in.
I'm telling you respectfully,
but I have my home,
my children.
You have something new
every day.
You made me wait more than
an hour outside.
On the street,
and I have a cold.
I don't think
we're getting along.
Things aren't working out.
Don't pay me for today.
No, I'll pay you.
Wait a second.
Good luck.
Bye, Yazmina.
Thank you.
One thing,
if I want to use the fifth gear,
in case I'm on the highway,
is it to the side and upwards
or is it with the lock and first?
What lock? That's reverse.
- I know that's reverse, Gustavo.
- Look for the R for reverse.
- But our car has a lever.
- What lever?
No, you have to go down,
to the left, and upwards.
But what is it for?
What do you have to do?
It's... Wait.
Do you want to come?
Liz?
There we go.
No, it's...
- No, it's in case...
- Hello, honey.
- I'm asking just in case.
- Hello.
Just in case for what?
For my friends from the park.
- The one that was there the other day?
- That one.
What? You say "hmm". What?
What? No, you're interpreting...
I didn't say anything.
- You're terrible, Gustavo.
- What? Why?
Honey, there are many things.
I mean...
You're away.
I'm asking you to tell me about...Let's not argue in front of him.
- I'm with Nica, a lot of things.
- Of course. Why wouldn't you?
They offered me an
incredible invitation.
It's something like,driving up to Saladillo
so that she can meet someone
very important to her.
- What person? Tell me.
- What's the matter?
Tell me, what's the problem.
You're far away.
- What did I say?
- And demanding explanations for everything
What's the problem?
- I don't want explanations.
- How many times I took the car?
- I'm working, you treat me as if...
- I could be working, too.
- But I...
- I work, too. When you let me work.
When I let you work? Liz.
We're not understanding.
Obviously.
We're not understanding each other.
- How are you?
- Hi.
I'm sorry I'm late,
I had to ask to leave earlier.
It's okay. Thank you.
- Can you?
- Yes.
Hello. How are you?
She's with me.
- Yazmina.
- No. Rosa, a friend.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hello.
Nati, where can they wait
while I have the meeting?
I don't know.
Inside it's too enclosed.
- It's not suitable for babies.
- Go to my office.
- I have no problem.
- No, it's okay.
As you wish.
- Bye.
- They're waiting for you there.
Bye, honey. Bye.
- Hello.
- How are you?
How are you?
Nice to meet you. Liz.
- Nice to meet you, too.
- Sorry for the delay.
I've had a child recently,
Nicanor,
and the preparations
plus something unexpected...
What's important
is Nicanor.
- How are you, fine?
- Fine, very well.
Adolfo told me you're writing
or you finished writing a novel.
I told him.
Yes. That's right.
- Can we read it?
- Sure.
Great. We have an artist
in the team. Very well.
Tesouro is a creative consultant,
he specializes
in investigation and research
in editorial marketing
for news papers.
He's looking for new content
for the UPA market.
UPA?
It's the Union
of Latin American Newspapers.
It's a huge market.
Very interesting.
We do multimedia,
collections, publications.
As you told me you were
willing and able to come back to work,
how do you see setting up
one, maybe two collections
for Dario to taketo the market?
Great.
We're thinking a line of development
I find particularly interesting
that has to do with leaders.
World leaders.
I mean, Gandhi,
Teresa of Calcutta,
Mao, de Gaulle,
Kennedy, Churchill,
Castro, Che, Mandela.
Basically, that's what we need.
The idea is you start
with this project now,
and it should be delivered now.
Ten days.
- But it's ten days we'll be in touch.
- Of course.
It's important you feel
supported during the process.
Constantly.
I think that's very important.
Something else I'd like to know
is if you're familiarized
with the task of community manager.
- I'm particularly interested in...
- Excuse me.
I have a little issue.
I'm sorry.
Rosa?
Nati, did you see Rosa, the girl
who was here with Nicanor?
No idea. I was in a conference.
- Do you want me to look for them?
- No, no.
Rosa!
Rosa?
Rosa!
Nica!
Rosa!
Rosa!
Have you seen a woman
going out with a stroller?
Oh, god.
Say what you want.
I'm telling you what happened,
you do what you want.
See you later. Bye.
Where is my son?
He's at the park
with Renata.
- What park? Tell me.
- Liz.
He's at the park
with Renata.
Do you want to see what
I am capable of? Look.
- What lake?
- The lake where I sell.
Oh, son.
I don't know what happened to her.
You didn't even call me.
I'm sorry.
She thought you weren't here
She thought we had left.
I'm out of breath.
Uh, I close my eyes
I close my eyes
- Is she usually late?
- I don't know.
I never... There she is.
- There you are.
- Hi. How are you?
Hi. What happened?
Nothing, it took me a while
to go out with Nicanor.
That grey one.
The car is great.
Rosa always says
a mom in the city needs a car.
Yes. If she is
by herself, she does.
- I'm not by myself.
- Well.
So, Renata, you'll be
on the passenger seat.
- Okay, honey.
- Okay.
First of all, I want to tell you,
we drink bottled water.
Not from the tap.
Unless it's connected...
The green tap is the only one.
I have to go there to get it?
No, it's connected there,
it's from the tank,
but I do it, don't worry.
And remember
about the plugs.
- What was that?
- Don't plug anything.
Don't plug anything?
If you're not stepping on wood.
Here. Look.
Here. This is it.
This side, not this one.
Winter is hard, but still...
- It's fine.
- Why is it hard?
Because it's colder here.
It doesn't look like it, but it is.
No, no.
Is it friendly?
It's going to fight.
Come here.
Clari.
Hello. Look at my hand.
There we go.
You'll have to paint
your nails blue.
Change your face, Rosa.
Change that face.
Will you stay with me?
Will you stay with me?
To my dad.
What? Do you want more? Here.
That's good.
That's it.
Very good.
You're so cute
You're so cute
It's so cold
Quack, quack, quack.
Quack, quack, quack.
Look.
Very good.
Hello, honey.
Mom is taking a shower.
Hi, Liz, hi, Nica.
How are you?
This is dad. Da-ddy.
Hello, Liz,
I was tidying the desk
and I found a very nice quote
from Nicanor Parra.
I'll read it to you.
"Perhaps, one day, we will all
come together
and firmly stand together like
hens defending their chicks."
What I need is someone to
give me a hand.
I'm a little overwhelmed.
I moved recently...
There, there.
Perhaps someone who can help
with house chores
who can help me organize my day
My husband travels a lot.
That's...
How many kids do you have?
Three are already grown-ups,
and the youngest
is turning 16.
So, you understandwhat I'm talking about.
Yes, the youngest
was unexpected.
Honestly,
I didn't want any more,
but I had a steady job
at a lady's home,
I had everything set up
and she came.
Are you married?
Yes. But my husband
passed away.
Yes. He was a railway worker
and had an accident.
Let me hold him a minute,
see if I can calm him down.
- How difficult for you.
- How cute.
Yes. Anyway, my three eldest
are from another man.
I didn't marry him,
because he hadn't divorced.
- Oh.
- Yes. Anyway, we separated.
He travels a lot,
doesn't live here,
and he saw other women...
He would walk by my house with
these other women
So I asked him to leave
and he was okay with it.
And I complain
with just one kid.
You're complaining
for the sake of it.
Hold him for a minute,I'll make some tea.
Yes, go ahead.
I think we'll manage just fine.
Also, you don't have your mom
and you look pretty lonely.
He's weighing...
Look, he's
at 15 pounds and 7 ounces.
- That's good, right?
- Very good.
Now, let's see
16 inches.
Look. He instantly
looks at you, his mom.
- Hi, honey.
- Look.
If I am worried,
does he notice?
Look, what's important is thebond you create with him.
You can see this in even the most
disadvantaged of families,
those that are limited and can'texercise their most basic rights
that if the mother plays with
her child, talks to him,
supports him,
is available for him,
that child is protected.
Sure.
It is also good for him
to interact with other people.
You told me you go to the park,
you are with other moms.
That's a nice time for him,
because he's outside,
under the sun.
- For you.
- Despite the cold?
Yes. otherwise, children
in Patagonia wouldn't go out.
The shovel, the shovel
- lifts everything...
- Hi.
Hi.
Do you need some help?
I'll try.
I'll try and see if he likes it.
But I think he doesn't.
- Don't be upset.
- Is it the first time?
Yes, I tried
some other time, but...
Don't be upset.
What's her name?
Clarisa. "She sees everything."
What a nice name.
- And him?
- Nicanor.
Do you breastfeed her?
No. My sister did.
Our mom passed away a year ago,
and it was very sad.
And she didn't have
anymore milk.
and then we started with the bottle.
But look at her, she grows just the same.
My mom passed away
about a year ago, too.
I was pregnant.
Do you have a partner?
Yes. Yes, but he's in Chile,
working.
So we manage by ourselves.
Do you have a car?
Yes. Why?
I have a theory.
A single mom
needs a car.
But I'm not single.
Well, I mean, with your husband
being away
Single mom, husband away.
Would you come with me
to the seesaw?
The doctor told me it's good for them
to try different sensations.
It goes up and down, so...
go up.
Down, down, down.
go up.
That's it. Down.
I think they're good, right?
Okay.
Yes, it's getting
a little cold.
Liz, let's eat something.
But it's 11:00 am,
do you want to eat now?
Why not?
I must confess I like the idea
of having a beer now.
Of course.
After that,
you're soothed all day.
Once, I spent a whole month
drinking beer.
With a boyfriend I had.
In Mar del Plata.
I had a boyfriend
in Mar del Plata, too.
- No.
- Yes.
I'm so rude. I didn't ask youif you like onions.
I do.
In fact, my husband
is crazy about onions.
And what's he doing?
He's making a documentary
in a volcano.
And he left you the car.
- Yes.
- Okay.
How many people
does it fit?
- I don't know, four, five.
- Regular.
- Yes, like any car. Why?
- Okay.
No, because my sister is not fine
and I want to help her and...
Anyway, you look like
you're an awful driver.
- Why?
- Yes, like you go like this.
No, you're wrong.I'm not a bad driver.
Then some time I'm goingto ask you a favor with the car.
- I'm going to the toilet fora sec.- Okay.
What?
No, it's okay.
Leave the stroller.
No, it's okay.
As you wish.
Occupied.
What do you do, Liz?
I work in a publishing house
and I write, too.
Sometimes, some things.
And you?
great.
I work at a factory
and I bake stuffed bread
on the side.
I sell them.
Can I read what you wrote?
Sure. I'll give it to you later.
I wrote a novel.
- Okay.
- Yes.
And what are you doing now,
a novel about motherhood?
No. That's not something thatappeals to many.
Cheers.
I think he's a little tired.
Let's do this.
I've eaten and drunk enough.
I'll give you money. Okay?
Liz, I think
we can help each other.
I have a proposition,
because my sister...
Wait. Let's arrange to meetanother day,
because if he doesn't get his sleep,
he gets fussy.
Okay.
Let's see.
What are you doing?
Are you leaving, too?
Keep putting on your coat.
You're leaving, why would I stay?
- Yes, but don't rush.
- Don't stay still. Come on, walk.
What are you doing?
Go. Go. Come on Liz.
Wait!
You turn and I keep going.
Hi, Liz. Hi, Nica.
How are you?
We are now moving
from a location to another.
We've just finished this part,
we haven't reached the volcano yet.
Answering your question, honey,
the volcano is inactive,
so you can relax.
The lava is quiet.
Nica, I miss you a lot.
I know you don't understand,
but look.
If he laughs, tell me, Liz.
Tell me how you're doing,send me things, I miss you guys.
Everything here is fine,I'm happy...
- Liz! You're a mom!
- Hi, Nati.
How amazing!
How cool you brought him!
Hello!
- Who does he take after?
- How are you?
- Liz Caridi, you're here.
- Hi, Adolfo.
- How are you?
- Fine.
All these can't match up
to you.
You're ruining us withyour absence.
No, I don't think so.
They're great.
Thanks for standing up for us.
It was a joke, Luciano,
don't be so sensitive.
- We're getting organized.
- There's a lot of things?
Yes, and I'm doingthe play, too.
You've got to come
see my play.
Yes. You wrote it, right?
Yes. The music and the text.
- So...
- That's great.
- So?
- Great.
Fine. You?
Fine, I'm fine.
But I haven't had a child,
so I don't have much news.
Tell me about you.
I don't know.
There's so much
I don't know how to tell it.
I'd call it Nicanor.
And breastfeeding,
how's it going?
No, I couldn't do it.
I didn't have any milk,so I'm bottle feeding him.
I didn't know.
Then it's perfect, with the bottle.
No, Lucho, it's not perfect.
It's not perfect.
It's not fine.
- Why?
- Because in general...
Did Mara breastfeed?
Yes, Mara was breastfeeding
all the time.
Hey, don't.
Don't worry.
I'm so ashamed, I swear.
The first thing you have to do is
to take your kids out of your bed.
Yes, of course. Talk?
Of course.
- Yes, not talking, I mean...
- I have no choice.
"How are you? How do you feel?"
A caress, you know?
Sometimes
we're fighting all day
and I don't feel like going
and touching his leg to start something.
- It's too much.
- Why, is it forced?
Yes, you're fighting all day
and then, what do you do by night?
Make up?
It's hard.
We've got two children.
It's not work, but we've got twochildren, how do you do it?
A certain day,
at a certain time.
The thing about frequency is that
it goes beyond just how often you do it.
I think the connection is important.
Agus and I have a sexual connection
that really pierces me as a woman.
I never felt that,
and having that is great.
Having it is unique,
and you have to value it.
I mean, doing it for the sake of it
is weird, too.
I mean, it's cool,
but it's weird.
Sometimes it's nicebeing surprised.
- Yes, if you can do it.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- See you.
But it's also nice to connect
with a dinner.
- Hi, Rosa.
- Hi.
What an idea,
leaving without paying.
Look. I brought you the cup.
- I took it.
- Thank you.
I think you took my money.
Maybe, I don't know.
I don't have anything here.
I'll pay you later.
Yes, it's okay.
Is anything wrong? Clari?
She's with my sister.
Renata.
She was supposed to be here
an hour ago.
I don't know where she is.
There's a lot of traffic.
No, there isn't much traffic.
And it's pretty cold, too.
- Do you want one?
- Okay.
- Do I light it for you? Can you?
- Yes.
You see her? That's "One Subject."
Once she accused me
of stealing a bucket.
- Buckets are all the same.
- Really.
When I was a child, I went
on holiday with my parents to Brazil.
There were a lot of people.
And I was holding
my mom's hand,
and I let her go
to look for something,
a lot of people
got in the middle,
and I lost sight of her.
- In another country.
- Yes.
I lost sight of her.
And I started walking
to the other side.
Did they leave?
No, they didn't see me
and I started walking
towards the other side.
- Awful.
- Yes. Horrible.
Did you get lost some time?
No, I didn't get lost,
but I remember one time,
we had to take a train,
my mom
always complained
that she got Renata and I ready
and we were never ready.
And I remember
the train was about to leave,
and my dad got on
and my mom got on
and we were joking,
Renata and I joked
all the time,
and the train left.
My name is Liz.
Any information you may have
is very important for us.
I live nearby, so you call us,
we're here two blocks away.
- Perfect. I'll let you know.
- Thank you very much.
Remember, the woman is called Renata
and the baby, Clarisa.
Tell him what Renata looks like
so he recognizes her.
Renata is
tall, slim, straight hair.
And the baby is a baby,
with the stroller.
- Fine. I'll let you know.
- Thank you very much. Bye.
It's here.
The good thing
is we're really close to the park,
so we can go quickly.
I'll put Nicanor to sleep.
Do you like tea?
Yes.
I have some flavored ones.
They're delicious.
Excuse me.
Can I go to the toilet?
Yes. It's there.
I'll make some spaghetti now
and you'll see
what a bad cook I am.
Liz? My sister, Renata
fell in love with a guy from the chat.
He's called Mauro.
They started chatting in a forum.
Then they switched to Skype.
Now, about nine months ago
or a year,
she lives in another world.
And she doesn't even have a job,
but at least she's better.
I don't know.
Sometimes she laughs.
That's why I tell you.
She doesn't know the guy.
But you know?
I swear...
if she comes back,
and everything's fine...
I want to take her
to meet him.
- Where does he live?
- In Saladillo.
Do you dare drive
116 miles?
I've never driven on the highway.
Well, but I'm a good copilot.
I know about maps.
I don't have
an extra car seat.
That's no problem.
It is a problem.
It is a big problem.
I was thinking...
maybe Renata can come here,
help me with something...
Yes, maybe.
I can't send her by bus
like this.
Also, Mauro, that boyfriend,
I don't know him.
I have to meet him, find out
what his job is.
And Clarisa,
she has to see the place.
- Yes.
- Do you understand me?
Of course. I understand you.
The thing is that I need
to get organized.
Of course, I understand you.
And you haven't met Renata.
If you've met her,
you wouldn't hesitate to help me.
Let me think about it.
There's the issue
of the extra car seat...
- On my lap.
- No.
It's forbidden, it's a law.
Children have to go in a car seat.
I have one for Nicanor,
but not for Clarisa.
And you don't know anyone
who has a car seat?
Because I don't.
Lucho might have. A friend.He has two kids.
- No, I'll call him later.
- Call him. It's just a minute.
- I'll call him later.
- Call him, why not?
We go before your husband
comes back.
And we come back.
It's just 116 miles.
Hi, Lucho, it's Liz.
How are you?
I'm calling you
from another phone.
I wanted to ask you something
out of the blue.
Do you happen to have
an extra car seat?
It's ringing.
- Maybe Santi's or Serena's?
- It says Gustavo.
We talk later.
Kisses. Bye.
Yes.
How are you, honey?
Hi, honey. How are you?
Can I talk to you
some other time?
Right now I'm having dinner
with a friend.
I can't hear you, there's...
We're chaining the car
because... Look.
No, I'll go to the kitchen.
Don't worry, I'll go.
Look, I'll put the headphones on,
so we can talk better.
What's that? Is Nicanor crying?
go, go.
- Look, eyes wide open.
- Wait.
- No, Rosa.
- Hi, mom.
I don't take him out of the darkness,I don't want him to wake up.
Or he'll sleep really late.
So what if he doesn't sleep?He doesn't have to work.
- Hi, how are you?
- And you are?
I'm Liz's friend,
she's sleeping the baby now.
She'll be right back.
Honey, Nicanor just woke up.
- This is Rosa.
- How are you?
How are you over there?
Fine, fine. Sven is happy,
because it's much more bleak.
It's a woman with a baby girl.
I've already given you
the phone number.
Thank you very much.
Rosa is in the bathroom.
Hello?
Yes, she'll be down
in a minute.
Rosa!
- What's up?
- Hurry, hurry.
- What happened? Hurry what?
- Here.
What happened
is what I ask you, Rosa.
Who is she?
What are you doing here?
She's Liz. She's a friend
who helped us.
Are you crazy?
Why didn't you go home?
Why didn't you go to David's?
Do you want her to catch
bronchiolitis gain?
Shut up. Don't you see
you're the one who's wrong?
The cell phone's battery
died, Rosa.
Stop making things up.
To get your way, I know you.
All night.
Why don't you think about her?
Wait a minute, Rosa.
If you start again with the time
I left Clarisa alone,
you can go to hell!
First, shut up.
And then get on the taxi.
And then we'll talk,
because what you put me through
is unforgivable.
get in the taxi.
- It's over.
- Get in the taxi!
- I have no money.
- I don't have a cent.
Why do you take a taxi?
Do you want me to walk
everywhere looking for you?
Rosa, I have money.
Come on, get in.
Thank you. I'll pay you back later andyou can give me your answer on what I’ve asked.
- Yes. Okay.
- Yes?
How's my baby?
Did he sleep well?
Yes. So-so.
Liz, do you smoke?
No.
Did you sleep on the couch?
Yes. Yes.
What's up, honey?
One, two, three, four.
- Liz!
- Hi, Cora.
- How are you?
- Fine, very well.
- Fine?
- Fine.
- What are you doing?
- Nothing, just going that way.
- I'll go with you.
- Okay.
How's Nicanor?
Fine, here he is.
What a cold day, isn't it?
My mom told me
to go to the mall,
because she's always telling me
what I should and shouldn't do...
I'm fed up.
I didn't want to go to the mall.
It's noisy,
the shops, the music.
- Yes.
- It's all consumerism.
I hate consumerism.
What do they want to buy?
- What do they want to buy?
- Yes.
- And look at the day.
- He likes outdoors better, too.
He gets fussy in malls.
He doesn't like them.
Look at the day.
I hate to say
my mom is right.
I hate to be here and say
I'll go home.
- Really, right?
- Yes.
Hey, some moms are having
like a parenting meeting.
Twice a week, two hours.
We'll rotate houses.
Yes.
Children will have fun,
don't you think?
And we can talk
about parenting issues.
One day we talk
about fears.
Another day, about anxieties.
Another, about doubts.
- I don't know, different issues.
- Oh, maybe.
And we share what we feel.
- Is there anywhere to share this?
- No.
There are no magic recipes.
No, right.
Maybe I'll go, yeah.
Because...
The other day I saw you...
That you were talking
to the R sisters.
The R sisters?
Rosa and Renata.
I saw you talking to Rosa.
Oh, Rosa, yes.
They are some characters.
- They're not like you and me.
- Why?
Has she asked you for
your car?
I don't know, Cora,
what do you mean?
I'll get going,
because, look, he just got up.
It's getting cold and he's really fussy.
I'll get going.
- I'll give you a hand.
- Then he gets worked up.
I'll help you.
Take him, calm him down.
It's okay.
Calm him down,
I'll get the stroller up.
- Thank you.- Poor thing. Go with mommy.
I have two kids.
- I know.
- Thank you.
No, we have to help each other.
She's "One Subject".
I want to know
how you're doing. Renata?
Fine. Renata wants to thank you.
No, tell her she doesn't have to.
She wants to go for a walk to
a beautiful place. Full of trees.
The three of us.
- How much fun.
- Yes, it'll be nice.
Okay, I'd love to.
- Ok. great!
- Tell her I love the idea.
- I tell you, too, I love the idea.
- She's with me, I'll tell her.
Ok. We'll talk later to planwhen to meet up.
I don't know
what to do with Nica.
Don't cry, honey.
Okay. My number
is on the fridge. Just in case.
I just gave him
the bottle.
So, if you can,
don't feed him.
Since I don't breastfeed him
and he's so little.
- Don't worry. I have your number.
- So I feed him.
I've looked after children
since I was 12.
Don't worry.
For me, luckily, all the smell thing
stopped after the delivery.
Some women have that,
like before and after delivery.
The delivery, the delivery.
Rosa, did you have a
natural birth or c-section?
What?
What kind of delivery
did you have?
Did you tell her
Clarisa was yours?
No, silly, I didn't have
a delivery.
What...?
I don't know what to say.
I didn't say that.
- I gave birth to Clarisa.
- Ah.
Right.
No, no.
Right. I don't know
what I thought,
what association I made.
Actually, when you said,
"My sister breastfeeds her..."
It sounded weird.
My sister.
Rosa, Aunt Rosa.
- Aunt Rosa.
- Right.
You know, from now on,
I'm Aunt Rosa.
I love this coat, you know?
I wanted to tell you
from the first moment.
- I love it.
- Yes, it's nice.
- Very nice.
- Yes, yours is nice, too.
Let's switch.
Let's switch.
- No.
- Yes, yes.
This is a light coat.
A light coat? Look.
I'll give it to you
for a week.
You think about what I've asked.
And when we switch back coats,
you give me your answer.
- About taking you to Saladillo?
- Yes.
I'll ask my husband today
about the car.
- The oil...
- Look at here with the coat.
The air.
Hello.
Hi, Yazmina.
Hi, Liz.
Hi. Hi, baby.
You had your milk.
Did he have his milk?
Yes, I gave him.
He was crying
and I thought it was the time.
Then he fell asleep.
It's fine.
But you know I told you
about breastfeeding and bonding?
The doctor told me.
Babies sometimes cry.
For some other reason,
not because they're hungry.
If I can't, I can't.
If it's possible, it's best
if I feed him, but...
I'll wait for you.
I'll wait for you every time.
But if I have to, I'll feed him.
Because he can't suffer,
he doesn't understand
his mom isn't here.
He's hungry and that's it.
- Okay?
- Yes.
Bottle
Bottle
Hello, daughter.
I'll bother you with another quote
from Nicanor Parra,
my grandson's namesake.
"I really want to yell,
Long live Andes mountains!"
I thought it was nice.
Hello, friend, this is Lucho.
Will you come to see my play?
How are you, Liz?
My coat, did Rosa give it to you?
Just for today.
Look, this bag is full of food
Rosa cooked for you.
There's some stew.
In this orange Tupperware
there's chicken stew.
It must be great.
Rosa told me
to get in the house with you.
That you need help.
And you know something?
I'm an ace in deep cleaning.
No, Renata, really,
it's not necessary.
There we go.
Look at the dirt
between the sheets.
When will you finish?
Because he's about to fall asleep.
You look very tired.
You don't know
how great Saladillo is, Liz.
gorgeous.
I've never been.
But my boyfriend sent me pictures.
Just looking at them
you smell nature. It's incredible.
Food must be amazing.
Local products.
How nice. Clari will like
her new home, then.
Clari won't stay.
No, you leave me there
and then you come back.
I misunderstood.
I'll go change him.
Can I use Skype?
I'm serious, don't laugh.
How are you going
to keep me warm?
- You?
- Yes.
- Heating.
- And what heating?
- Firewood.
- Firewood?
Yes, do you like firewood?
- I love it.
- Great.
And listen,
did you arrange
where we're going to sleep?
- Yes, yes.
- Is it ready?
- Yes, it's ready.
- And how is it?
Fine. I put some blankets.
And I swept the floor,
so it's clean,
so you don't get any allergies
or anything.
You're crazy.
No, I'm serious.
Everything's real nice.
I did it for you.
Really.
You know?
I'm about to finish.
I'm finishing up here.
Let's do this.
In ten minutes I'll be on the bus
on my way home.
And then you can call me
and we continue talking.
Okay, okay.
And we can talk.
- Okay.
- Great. I call you.
Renata?
Nicanor fell asleep,
you did a lot...
- I can cook myself.
- Okay. Okay.
I hope you've had the chance
to get to know me
and you can see
I am a good person.
- Yes.
- Don't worry.
We have organized
everything. Okay?
It's very late.
I give you 100 pesos.
Okay. We'll see
which sister keeps this money,
your friend Rosa or me.
My coat?
I prefer you arrange that
with her.
You know what I wanted
to ask you, Liz?
Could you give me something
in advance, 100 for next time?
No. Look, Renata,
there's been a misunderstanding.
I'm sorry.
I don't need someone
to help me.
I already have someone
who helps me.
I can manage by myself.
That you are by yourself, I can tell.
But that you can manage, not at all.
Hi, it's Rosa,
leave your message.
Hi, Rosa, it's Liz.
Renata just left my home.
I just went through
a horrible situation.
I don't know if she's having
another episode.
I need to talk to you.
Please call me.
Hi, it's Cora.
I can't answer.
Leave your message
and have a nice day.
Hi, Cora, it's Liz.
How are you?
I was thinking
the day is nice.
- Sebas!
- Bruno, take your coat off!
- What?
- Come!
So you can draw
your own conclusions.
What's up?
Tell Liz
about the R sisters, with Rosa.
-About what?
-About the car.
She stole it.
She stole my car.
Suppose I left the keys here.
I came and it wasn't here.
I tell them, "My car was stolen."
We went to the police,
filed a report.
I reported it to the insurance.
Stress, anxiety.
- Terrible.
- He was desperate.
Two days later, Rosa shows up
at home with the keys
and she tells me,
"I took your car."
She went to Mar del Plata.
She drove 300 miles with my car.
- She hadn't asked for it?
- No, of course not.
She had never
asked for the car.
At least make everything clear.
Can you wait for me there
for a minute, please?
She shouldn't lend her the car,
she'll steal it.
At least, I don't know,
she knows.
- She's around here.
- I think this is serious.
She's here, selling.
She's working here.
- Well.
- So I'll go ask her.
- We'll go with you.
- We'll go with you.
I think the best
is to go with you.
We come here all the time.
Hello, Rosa.
I need you to tell me...
about a situation that happened
some time ago with Sebas' car.
Yes, specifically, the car.
But that's...
What are you talking about?
I don't understand.
Since that happened
with my car,
and now we heard
you were asking her...
- But what...?
- Just to know.
But that's over.
We want to get everything clear.
You want to borrow my car,
they tell me this,
I need to know.
I want to hear your side.
- She doesn't want to worry.
- What's going on?
Nothing happened. At that time,I had an urgent situation,
so I took his car,
that's true,
and I took it to Mar del Plata
for two days.
I apologized
and he accepted.
And now, now that's over.
I asked for your car,
and you can say no.
She wanted to know,
so she's cool.
We cleared the air,
we heard each other.
- That's it.
- I think that's it.
For me, that's it.
- Okay.
- Let's go.
Bye.
Let's see.
Is everything okay
with your cousin?
Yes, perfect. He doesn't bother
anymore, thank you.
Perfect.
You're talking
like you're superior.
No, I'm not superior,
but I do have more information.
- That's true.
- I don't care, I don't agree.
This is a meeting.
We can talk,
but there are children here.
I don't like my child
listening to this.
I don't like my child
at the park listening to gross things.
- If there's more freedom...
- Gays are freer. I don't care.
What did you say?
Maybe you're more used
to talking about that.
In your gay world
you talk more freely.
- Here, we don't.
- No doubt about that.
No doubt about that.
You know what? No doubt.
- Not here.
- Totally.
- I'm not used to...
- We don't pretend.
It looks as if it's a subject...
We don't pretend.
That's my point.
I think abortion is an issue
that should be in all homes.
- Yes, but it depends...
- It's about support...
- This isn't the time.
- And it's about freedom.
I'll move the vegetables up
so they don't ruin so fast.
You should choose a day
to do the groceries.
I tell you about the food,
because you're so thin.
And Nica, too.
I like to clean it
with alcohol.
Alcohol is the best
for these things.
And also it's something
that you don't clean so often.
If you saw the marks...
- Yazmina.
- Yes?
Look at this.
What's that?
Be very careful.
This is a toy.
It's not real.
Anyway, it's impressive.
It could scare someone away.
I don't know, contents.
The thing
is the guy publishes.
He was going back,
and I got a meeting with him.
He's taking a lot of books
from writers from here.
I don't know,
if you're interested...
Yes. I'm interested.
- Yes?
- Very much.
You can come to that meeting with me.
I'll arrange.
Yes, great.
- You can arrange, right?
- Yes, it's work.
great, then.
- I'll arrange a meeting for the three.- Great.
Let's go up, or it'll be very late.
Stay in the audience while I go
talk to the guys for a second.
We watch the play
and then we eat something.
There's a vegetarian.
How is Mara?
Fine.Today she went out
with her friends.
She went to have dinner.
And the kids?
Yes, with her.
They were all mothers.
- But with the kids.
- Yes, with the kids.
They're older.
Do you know what I remembered
the other day?
What?
Oh, god.
Do you remember
that trip to Lima?
That we did together?
Yes.
Why?
Nothing.
They'll check the sound now.
Okay. I'll start tuning.
Come.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Is Nica sleeping?
Yes, he fell asleep.
I just gave him the bottle.
No, Yazmina, I told you
I'd give him the bottle.
But he was hungry.
My point is, that it's importantfor me to give him the bottle.
Since I couldn't breastfeed, it's importantfor me to share that special moment with him.
I apologize for speaking to
you like this,
but I really feel it's important...
Gustavo told me
to give him the bottle.
I'll call him.
Hi, Gustavo. It's Liz.
Yazmina told me
you told her, remotely,
to give Nicanor the bottle.
Honestly, I feel
we don't have communication.
It's no good for me.
He's with the boxes, and do you know
what makes me angry?
Hi. How are you?
Hello.
I don't want to eat that any more.
I'm fed up. He can do
what ever he wants.
Take it.
See you, honey.
I almost kissed you on the mouth.
See you. I'll take the egg one.
Bye.
No matter how in love she is,
and that she wants to start
a new life in Saladillo...
Clarisa won't be alone.
Yes, you're like her mom,
but you're not her mom.
Okay, you understood everything.
I don't know.
And about this guy's car, Sebas,
what's...?
You owe me money
you never gave me back.
What money?
- You owe me money, Rosa.
- What money?
100 pesos? How much?
No, more.
How much?
- It doesn't matter.
- Tell me, how much?
The taxi, 100 pesos
I gave your sister...
A coffee and what you gave
my sister. 100 pesos.
- No, but it doesn't matter.
- Really, it doesn't matter.
I think you don't care
about that money.
I don't know, it's weird,
all of a sudden, the money.
I don't know,
there are many things I don't like.
There are many things
I don't like, either.
For me, friendship
is something different.
We don't understand each other.
We see some things
very differently.
That's why, it's impossible.
You don't even know
how you want to be as a mother.
You don't have
a motherly instinct.
At least, you don't have it yet.You have everything to learn.
You have everything to learn,you're not even a mom.
You've crossed the line. It'll bevery hard to recover from this.
- Hi, everyone.
- Hi.
Seba, I need to talk to Rosa.
- Did something happen?
- No, but I need to find her.
- What happened?
- She must be working.
I can take you to her job.
Thank you.
Wait, I'll get a car from the crew
and I'll take you.
I need to find Rosa.
Rosa is crazy,
you know that, right?
Yes, right.
Jorge. Listen, is 611 free?
Yes, this is the place.
Hey, listen. Calm down.
l mean, it's better
to talk things over.
I tell you, I always
keep everything in,
I suffer a lot.
Well.
Bye, thank you.
Good luck.
See you at the park?
- Yes.
- Okay. Let's go, Jorge.
Excuse me.
Ever since Nicanor has been here...
in the world...
My mom...
Don't worry about me.
Nicanor is so...
so, so...
small.
Did you see him?
You understand me.
I need your help.
Do you feel better?
- I feel a little ashamed...
- Sorry.
Hi.
Hi, Yazmina.
Hello, honey.
Is everything fine?
How nice.
How nice to take a bath.
Do you know how to install it?
- No.
- I'll give you a hand.
It's great, Lucho.
You saved me.
Is Gustavo back already?
No, not yet.
Mara?
What?
No, how is she doing?
Fine.
Mind your driving,
you're pretty terrible.
That's not true.
Wait, this one goes there.
It's a matter of practice,
that's true.
What are you doing?
I'm smoking occasionally.
See you.
Have a safe trip.
Hello, children, how are you?
Welcome to sing
We start saying
who we are
You are...
- Antonia.
- Antonia, how are you?
And now all parents say hi.
Hello, Antonia, how are you?
And now the little one.
- Clarisa.
- What's her name?
- Clarisa.
- Clari.
Clari.
Hello, Clari, how are you?
Louder, mommies,
I can't hear you.
- And this little boy?
- Nicanor.
Nicanor.
Hello, Nica, how are you?
And I have one more cutie here,
what's your name?
Hello, Juju, how are you?
Yazmina.
I'm so sorry.
I'm freezing, Liz.
I'm sorry, sorry.
I forgot.
- I'm sorry.
- Let's get in.
I'm telling you respectfully,
but I have my home,
my children.
You have something new
every day.
You made me wait more than
an hour outside.
On the street,
and I have a cold.
I don't think
we're getting along.
Things aren't working out.
Don't pay me for today.
No, I'll pay you.
Wait a second.
Good luck.
Bye, Yazmina.
Thank you.
One thing,
if I want to use the fifth gear,
in case I'm on the highway,
is it to the side and upwards
or is it with the lock and first?
What lock? That's reverse.
- I know that's reverse, Gustavo.
- Look for the R for reverse.
- But our car has a lever.
- What lever?
No, you have to go down,
to the left, and upwards.
But what is it for?
What do you have to do?
It's... Wait.
Do you want to come?
Liz?
There we go.
No, it's...
- No, it's in case...
- Hello, honey.
- I'm asking just in case.
- Hello.
Just in case for what?
For my friends from the park.
- The one that was there the other day?
- That one.
What? You say "hmm". What?
What? No, you're interpreting...
I didn't say anything.
- You're terrible, Gustavo.
- What? Why?
Honey, there are many things.
I mean...
You're away.
I'm asking you to tell me about...Let's not argue in front of him.
- I'm with Nica, a lot of things.
- Of course. Why wouldn't you?
They offered me an
incredible invitation.
It's something like,driving up to Saladillo
so that she can meet someone
very important to her.
- What person? Tell me.
- What's the matter?
Tell me, what's the problem.
You're far away.
- What did I say?
- And demanding explanations for everything
What's the problem?
- I don't want explanations.
- How many times I took the car?
- I'm working, you treat me as if...
- I could be working, too.
- But I...
- I work, too. When you let me work.
When I let you work? Liz.
We're not understanding.
Obviously.
We're not understanding each other.
- How are you?
- Hi.
I'm sorry I'm late,
I had to ask to leave earlier.
It's okay. Thank you.
- Can you?
- Yes.
Hello. How are you?
She's with me.
- Yazmina.
- No. Rosa, a friend.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hello.
Nati, where can they wait
while I have the meeting?
I don't know.
Inside it's too enclosed.
- It's not suitable for babies.
- Go to my office.
- I have no problem.
- No, it's okay.
As you wish.
- Bye.
- They're waiting for you there.
Bye, honey. Bye.
- Hello.
- How are you?
How are you?
Nice to meet you. Liz.
- Nice to meet you, too.
- Sorry for the delay.
I've had a child recently,
Nicanor,
and the preparations
plus something unexpected...
What's important
is Nicanor.
- How are you, fine?
- Fine, very well.
Adolfo told me you're writing
or you finished writing a novel.
I told him.
Yes. That's right.
- Can we read it?
- Sure.
Great. We have an artist
in the team. Very well.
Tesouro is a creative consultant,
he specializes
in investigation and research
in editorial marketing
for news papers.
He's looking for new content
for the UPA market.
UPA?
It's the Union
of Latin American Newspapers.
It's a huge market.
Very interesting.
We do multimedia,
collections, publications.
As you told me you were
willing and able to come back to work,
how do you see setting up
one, maybe two collections
for Dario to taketo the market?
Great.
We're thinking a line of development
I find particularly interesting
that has to do with leaders.
World leaders.
I mean, Gandhi,
Teresa of Calcutta,
Mao, de Gaulle,
Kennedy, Churchill,
Castro, Che, Mandela.
Basically, that's what we need.
The idea is you start
with this project now,
and it should be delivered now.
Ten days.
- But it's ten days we'll be in touch.
- Of course.
It's important you feel
supported during the process.
Constantly.
I think that's very important.
Something else I'd like to know
is if you're familiarized
with the task of community manager.
- I'm particularly interested in...
- Excuse me.
I have a little issue.
I'm sorry.
Rosa?
Nati, did you see Rosa, the girl
who was here with Nicanor?
No idea. I was in a conference.
- Do you want me to look for them?
- No, no.
Rosa!
Rosa?
Rosa!
Nica!
Rosa!
Rosa!
Have you seen a woman
going out with a stroller?
Oh, god.
Say what you want.
I'm telling you what happened,
you do what you want.
See you later. Bye.
Where is my son?
He's at the park
with Renata.
- What park? Tell me.
- Liz.
He's at the park
with Renata.
Do you want to see what
I am capable of? Look.
- What lake?
- The lake where I sell.
Oh, son.
I don't know what happened to her.
You didn't even call me.
I'm sorry.
She thought you weren't here
She thought we had left.
I'm out of breath.
Uh, I close my eyes
I close my eyes
- Is she usually late?
- I don't know.
I never... There she is.
- There you are.
- Hi. How are you?
Hi. What happened?
Nothing, it took me a while
to go out with Nicanor.
That grey one.
The car is great.
Rosa always says
a mom in the city needs a car.
Yes. If she is
by herself, she does.
- I'm not by myself.
- Well.
So, Renata, you'll be
on the passenger seat.
- Okay, honey.
- Okay.
First of all, I want to tell you,
we drink bottled water.
Not from the tap.
Unless it's connected...
The green tap is the only one.
I have to go there to get it?
No, it's connected there,
it's from the tank,
but I do it, don't worry.
And remember
about the plugs.
- What was that?
- Don't plug anything.
Don't plug anything?
If you're not stepping on wood.
Here. Look.
Here. This is it.
This side, not this one.
Winter is hard, but still...
- It's fine.
- Why is it hard?
Because it's colder here.
It doesn't look like it, but it is.
No, no.
Is it friendly?
It's going to fight.
Come here.
Clari.
Hello. Look at my hand.
There we go.
You'll have to paint
your nails blue.
Change your face, Rosa.
Change that face.
Will you stay with me?
Will you stay with me?
To my dad.
