Nasha Natasha (2016) - full transcript

Natalia Oreiro's story is absolutely unique. She is the only performer from Rio de la Plata and one of the very few Latin American performers who, despite language and cultural barriers, has become a popular symbol in such different countries as Czech Republic, Poland, Russia and Israel, This film is an attempt to uncover the phenomenon.

I have to run

I have to run away from you

I have to look

For a way to escape

Because your love is the target

Your love is the fire
That's burning me

Because your love, unknowingly
Spills the poison that's killing me

And now I know
That what could have been

I don't want to see it
Don't want to have it

And now I decided not to lose again

Alright!



I'm telling you
And you'll have to understand

I had your poison
I had your love and your fire too

I had your poison
I had your life

And I don't want it anymore

THANK YOU

I thought you'd forgotten about me.
It seems you didn't.

Natalia, we're here!

Your fire burns
Your passion is poisonous

I'm telling you, I'm telling you again

It's not your poison
The one I want to drink

I want neither to taste it
Nor have it again

I had your poison
I had your love and your fire too

I had your poison
I had your life

And I don't want it anymore

"From fear, courage is born,

and from doubt, certainty.

Dreams announce
a different possible reality,

and delusions, a different reason.

After all,

we are what we do

to change who we are."

Passengers will board by row number.
Please...

There's 28 of us.

28 PEOPLE

And together we will visit 16 cities.

16 CITIES

Forty-five flight hours.

45 FLIGHT HOURS

Seventy-two hours on trains...

72 HOURS ON TRAINS

ARGENTINE PASSPORT

to cover 44,700 kilometers.

A few miles more than a trip
around the world in just 30 days.

30 DAYS

ROSTOV-ON-DON

AIRPORT TERMINAL

She has always been very determined.

NOVEMBER 18TH
KSK EXPRESS CONCERT HALL

Since she was a child,
she's been very energetic.

NATALIA'S FATHER

She has a magnetic personality

that's drawn people to her
since she was very little.

We would go to my parents' house,
when she was very young,

the street would be empty when we arrived.

But Natalia would go outside
and, when we went looking for her,

there would be...
I don't want to exaggerate,

but there were always at least ten girls
surrounding her.

LOVE, NATALIA OREIRO

If you took your eyes off her
for a minute,

she would fill the house with kids.

Wherever she went,
there was a crowd surrounding her.

It's a gift from our city.

Oh, I love it!

It's so beau...

She was very restless
since she was in my belly.

She kicked a lot! I always say...

Since at the time there was no way
to know the gender of the baby,

I said, "It's a boy, and a soccer player,"
because she drove me nuts

with all that kicking.

NATALIA'S MOTHER

When she was born...

to me, she was the prettiest baby
in the hospital.

And, yes,

she was a restless kid.
She would touch everything

and run around all day long.

Before you knew it,
she was grabbing one thing,

knocking another thing down,

trying to put her fingers
in the power sockets, pushing the TV...

She was in constant movement.

Because this rhythm is already...

Wait.

Why did I start early?

You have the first part right,
but then you rush.

It hasn't happened to me before.

We're in Rostov-on-Don.

The night before the first show.
We're rehearsing.

MAY 19TH, 1978

I was four when Natalia was born,
and I was so laid-back.

And I thought that was the norm.

And I noticed she was
so vivacious, so mischievous.

NATALIA'S SISTER

Then I started to see
what my sister was like.

And she's exactly the same today.

She still has the same personality,
so nice and active.

On one hand,
she's very sweet and kind,

but she's also so full of energy.

POLAND
ARRIVAL

When she was little,
she wanted to be an empress.

An ambassador.
An empress or an ambassador.

She wanted to travel to every country.

That's kind of what she does now,
isn't it?

Nati, I love you!

CZECH REPUBLIC
ARRIVAL

Bye.

ROMANIA
ARRIVAL

Natalia!

ARRIVAL

Natalia!

PHILIPPINES
ARRIVAL

When we started to film Wild Angel,

I never imagined
it'd be known in the Philippines.

Sunset in Israel.

We move so fast.

We were in our car, my husband was driving
and the girls were in the back seat.

And Natalia said,
"Dad, I'll be someone important in life."

I said,
"Yeah, you'll be in the newspapers."

And she replied, "Yeah, you laugh now..."

We're about to start our first show.

TAHITI
ARRIVAL

Thank you.

GREECE
ARRIVAL

My bangs are a mess.

ITALY
ARRIVAL

- Good morning, princess.
- Good morning.

In Rome,
I'll be singing with Raffaella Carrà.

We've rehearsed already.

Zero, three, zero, three
Four, five, six...

I always thought she was very strong,
but not specially talented.

She was not better than the rest
of the girls.

To me, she was a girl,
a teenager just like any other.

I didn't fall down the stairs!

I tripped a bit on my skirt,
but I didn't fall.

We've finished with this canzone thingy.
Canzonetta? How do you say it in Italian?

RUSSIA
ARRIVAL

SAINT PETERSBURG
RUSSIA, 2001

We had been told
she was very famous here.

She put a wig on
to be able to go sightseeing with us.

NATALIA'S BACKING SINGER

Wherever we went, there was a crowd
yelling, "Natasha, Natasha!"

It was mind-blowing, it never stopped.

Natasha!

It was truly astonishing, it was...

different from anything else,
completely unheard of.

NATALIA'S GUITARIST

We played in Moscow,
in a beautiful, enormous skating arena.

There were posters of previous concerts,
because this is the place to play there.

Deep Purple, Sting.

And I thought, "Sting played one show,
Natalia will play two. This is huge."

- Are you filming me?
- Yes.

MOSCOW
RUSSIA, 2001

NOVEMBER 28TH
CIRCUS CONCERT HALL

ROSTOV-ON-DON
RUSSIA, 2014

Done.

One, two...

How are you?

- How are you? I'm fine, great.
- Fine, and you?

Put the whole tape on it
so it looks neater.

Otherwise, I think this...

Except in "Huracán,"
when the lights change.

Okay, I don't have that ready.

- Let's see... So, during the first song...
- No, that's what I mean...

- I'll tell Pablo about it.
- I'll be down there.

Now we will...

And now I know very well
Where life goes

No lie can trick me
I won't sell my mind for anything

Say whatever you want

Words...

When she started working,
she was very young.

But she was very mature
about how she handled her career.

She knows how to showcase herself,

how to stand on stage.

She has an added charisma
that not every artist has.

I want a love that's flavorful and sweet

That will wake up my heart at last

That tells me he loves me
And dies without my tenderness...

She works very hard.

ACTRESS, FRIEND OF NATALIA'S

It's someone who... I mean,
I know very few people...

who work as hard as she does.

TOUR PREPARATIONS

Bam, bam, Ba-dam!

Eight, bam! Seven, eight, bam!

Better. From the top again? One, two...

Do you want me to try on
the doll dress and see?

- Okay.
- It would look straight from behind.

- We could use that star you'll make here.
- There, totally.

One would think
she has a team of image consultants,

a person for this, a person for that...
But she doesn't.

She has total control of everything.
It's just her and her mind.

She obviously works with other people,
but she designs everything herself,

every costume change,
the staging, the choreographies.

She takes care of every detail.

That's the love I'm waiting for

A sincere love
As I want and wish

RUSSIA, 2003

There was this lady...

There she is!

She had a Natalia Oreiro card album,
and she had thousands of them!

She was desperate to get close to me,
but security wouldn't let her.

I was calling for her,
but security wouldn't let her get to me.

- No, let her!
- No, no, no!

"Please..." She kissed my hands.
And I told her, "Please, stand up."

- What did you tell her?
- "Please, stand up."

NATALIA'S SON

- Why?
- Because she was kneeling.

- And what did you do?
- I kissed her.

- Why?
- So she would be happy.

Aren't you happy when I kiss you?

Do you want a kiss?

There.

I know what you want. Take him.

Don't you like the beige one?

It's Daddy's. I forgot.

- Open it.
- There it is.

Who's she?

- Who is this?
- Who?

- Who is she?
- Who?

- Who is she?
- Who?

She. Who is she?

Godmother Val.

It was impossible
for him to travel with her.

It would have been very tough for him
with those subzero temperatures.

MUSICIAN, NATALIA'S HUSBAND

It was unthinkable.

He would have spent most of that time
inside a hotel room.

It was hard to explain to him,
"Mom will come back in 20 days."

To him, that was an unknown universe.
He barely understands what "next day" is.

One day, his mother left.
Another day, she came back.

The rest means nothing for him.

That's why he didn't want to see her
when I showed him a photo,

or when she was on the phone or on Skype.

He just left,
he knew his mother wasn't there.

He knows that's just an image,
not his mother.

Atita's pajamas. I miss him so much.

NATALIA'S BAPTISM

"Fear dries the mouth,

wets the hands

and mutilates us.

The fear of knowing
condemns us to ignorance,

the fear of doing
reduces us to impotence."

UNITY - SOLIDARITY - FIGHT
AMNESTY FOR ALL

"The military dictatorship..."

WORKING CLASS TO POWER
TOTAL AMNESTY

"the fear of listening,

the fear of speaking

made us deaf-mute."

CIVIC STRIKE

NATIONAL BUREAU OF CIVIL IDENTIFICATION

ID CARD
NAME - SIGNATURE

The dollar pegs have fallen.

What came after was an economic,
financial and spiritual catastrophe

for many people.

Slowly, emigration became a constant.

MILITARY DICTATORSHIP

The queues to get passports
and visas for different countries

soon became part of the city landscape.

Whole families left and...

THE DOLLAR SOARED:
BUY RATE: 30% - SELL RATE: 59%

The 80's economic crisis hit us too hard.

MEAT PRICE TO RISE FROM $3 TO $5 PER KILO

I was young, and I had some debts.

MILK PRODUCERS ASK
FOR A 50% PRICE RISE

So we left in search...

GAS PRICE RISE BY 50%

not for a better place, but we tried...

to distance ourselves from the problem.

SPONTANEOUS ART

MY HANDPRINTS

We sold everything we had here at a loss.

We couldn't get more money for them anyway
due to the critical economic situation.

Then,
between disassembling our family home

and reassembling it in Spain,
we spent a lot of money.

Our plan was to get jobs, to work,
and from then on, move forward.

MÁLAGA
SPAIN, 1983

We missed home,

not just Mabel and I
because we were older, the girls did too.

At one point, we realized
that home was here in Uruguay,

so I told Mabel,

"We have to start over."

It was almost like starting over.

Next day, we packed our things
and flew back here.

Mabel, little by little

and very modestly, set up shop
as a hairdresser.

I got a job too, so we started over.

The girls made sacrifices too.

Without... They studied...

spent very little...

never asked for anything. So...

I think I have a great family,
I am...

very proud of them.

Transmutation:

transforming an element into another
by altering its structure.

One Sunday noon, when Natalia was 11,
I was making lunch

and she came in with a newspaper
and spread it on the floor.

I asked her, "What are you doing?"

"Looking for something," she replied.

"Here: 'Models wanted, all ages,
for a casting at...'"

I don't know, some advertising agency.

I looked at the ad and dismissed it.

But her father, from the bedroom,
asked, "What's up, Natalia?"

She told him about it, and he said,
"Okay, I'll take you there on Monday."

O.B. TAMPONS COMMERCIAL

In that commercial, she was shown

with a very...

sexy appearance.

That caused that everybody

started addressing her in a way
she was not used to.

That was obviously quite hard for her.

It was an enormous change.

She was pushed to transition
from child to teenager very quickly.

She was made fun of.
Every time she passed by,

everyone mocked her with the slogan:
"Relax, you have a tampon on!"

NATALIA'S CHILDHOOD FRIEND

She couldn't even walk around, everyone
looked at her and talked behind her back.

She was the only girl at school
who had appeared in a commercial.

LIBER FALCO SECONDARY SCHOOL

At that time, in Uruguay, you didn't know
people who had been in commercials.

And she appeared in a tampon commercial,
so it was...

sort of a hot topic for a teenager.

There was always this ill will
against us...

They would push us or be rude to us,

maybe even write something mean
on the window panes or the blackboard.

I wouldn't say they'd openly pick
a fight with us, but it was close to that.

QUINCEAÑERA PARTY

I'm not better than you

And I'm not perfect

I'm still half way through

I trip, but stand up again

I learn from my mistakes

And I think that destiny...

We complemented each other,
I was quite shy and quiet,

and Natalia was very talkative
and extroverted.

Together, we were the perfect balance.

And no lie can trick me

And I won't sell my mind for anything

Say whatever you want

Words may come and go

I show myself as I really am

I want to live my way

Say whatever you want...

She started receiving
many calls for auditions,

and actually got selected in many of them.
She was discovered quite quickly.

I didn't want to audition
because I didn't have faith in myself.

And whether I win this contest or not,

this helped me be more confident.

Whatever I do in life, I know
I'll give it my all, as I'm doing now.

I know very well where I'm heading

Say whatever you want

The last memory I have of her
is here, coming out of school.

She was telling me
that she was going to buy the tickets.

She had made up her mind to leave school

and start a new life in Argentina.

She wanted to...
Well, to seek a career there.

Her destiny.

WE LOVE YOU
WELCOME!

"Our Natasha.
With love from Krasnodar."

What do you think?

It's such a pity to tear it.
Shall I do it?

Beautiful.

Thank you so much.

Take her stuff.

We're leaving. Bye!

- This is more complicated.
- I'll take the pink one.

- Bye. Thanks.
- Bye.

"Some people say that destiny rests
on gods' knees.

Instead, destiny is like

a burning challenge that puts
people's conscience to the test."

We arrived in Siberia!

Thirty degrees below zero. Wow!

In the middle of summer...

- How did it go?
- Great. I have everything.

- I love you.
- I took a photo.

Now...
It looked better... I'll show you later.

It's hard uphill, it's hard downhill

It's hard to think there can't be change
It's hard to see a pond in the sea

ELEVATORS

NASHA NATASHA TOUR 2014

Come in.

That's it.

I'm a bit emotional today.

Thank you very much, Krasnoyarsk.

You'll always be in my heart.

We've completed one fourth of the tour.

"We are made of time.

We are its feet and its mouths.

The feet of time walk on our feet.

In the short or long term,

we all know the winds of time
will erase the tracks.

Journey of nothingness,
no one's footsteps?

The mouths of time tell us of the voyage."

Done.

I'm so sleepy. I haven't slept a wink.

- Hello!
- Hi!

Why is the flight delayed?

- Does anyone know?
- I don't want to know.

Novosibirsk, Siberia.

We're here for our fourth show.

Be careful with the smoke.

The other day, it was so dense.
Was that normal?

- Doesn't it burn?
- It's burnt already.

Natasha, Natasha!

Natasha, Natasha!

Natasha, Natasha!

- Natasha, Natasha!
- Come here.

Natasha, Natasha!

- Natasha, Natasha!
- Come on. Give it all!

TEMPERATURE: 25°C

Cheers!

Okay... let's sing "Me muero de amor."

Do you know "Me muero de amor"?

- Yes, of course!
- Try it.

- Does anyone have the lyrics?
- I do...

You left without saying goodbye

Despite what I wanted

Without emotion, in silence
The door closed behind you

"Door."

You didn't want to look for answers...

Soviet Union

Soviet Union

I had your poison
I had your life

And I don't want it anymore

Hello, Omsk.

This way.

I missed her very much.

She was about to turn 17
and I was 20 or 21.

I remember she would come to visit us,

and then she would take a bus,
two blocks from home,

to come here to Buenos Aires,
and it was so...

It was the worst part of her visit.
Well, anyway...

Later... Sorry.

Then she went on with her career
and became very successful here.

I met Natalia in 1994,

around the time
when I used to play sax in the subway.

I met her at a little karaoke bar
in Buenos Aires...

ACTOR, FRIEND OF NATALIA'S

that was away
from the places everyone frequented.

One day, when I was playing at that bar,

I saw her and asked where she was from,
and she said, "I'm from Uruguay."

She told me she lived alone
in a rooming house.

She said she wanted to be an actress,

and that she had come from Uruguay
chasing that dream.

She was a diamond in the rough
waiting to be discovered.

And it was great to witness her discovery
and everything that came after.

Chase new dreams...

It was something...
Everything happened so quickly.

Every time she came back to Uruguay,

you couldn't walk around our block
because of the crowd that came to see her.

From walking with her to the bus stop
to say goodbye, just us,

in a year and a half, two years tops,
we were surrounded by people.

This way?

- This way.
- Yes.

Oh!

I'm going to miss
the train to Yekaterinburg!

Shooting stars usually pass us by,
never to be seen again.

But she is like a shooting star
that came here to stay,

changing her colors,
looking for something new,

always reinventing herself.

That's what she is.

Sometimes being an artist is not enough,
you have to be more than that.

And when there's more,
you get someone like Natalia.

Phenomenon:

an extraordinary event

that is hard to explain
for those who see it.

Historically, Russian people

have always been interested
in the matters of the heart.

RUSSIAN JOURNALIST
RESIDING IN BUENOS AIRES

Very romantic, even sentimental.

But that's very hard to admit, right?

It's hard to say,
"Okay, yeah, I'm a sentimental person.

I have feelings. I suffer too."

And besides, we were told for many years,
"No, we're strong,

strong like the Soviet Union."

Attention!

Right flank!
Ready for the ceremonial parade.

We had never had movies or series
about women,

or about those kinds of feelings.

We had stories about how we had to work
for the sake of our country,

to build Socialism.

So, we lacked that side of things.

Where was that feminine side?

Right? It didn't exist.

Starring Natalia Oreiro...

and Facundo Arana.

- I'll take pain...
- Wild Angel.

WILD ANGEL

I was 12 when Wild Angel premiered.

We thought, "Look,
she seems to be a girl like us, right?"

She was like any girl
in our neighborhood.

She could even be my friend.

Of course, on one hand,
she was very pretty, nice, funny,

but on the other hand,
she also had a strong character.

I knew you couldn't be trusted, Carlitos.

Can't you see I'm a girl, man?

I wanted to confirm you're a woman.

And I wanted to confirm you're a man.

At that time, in Russia,

we were more closed-minded.

Every female character in soap operas
were girls who were always crying.

But this series was different.

Don't touch me or I'll bite you!

Okay, I won't. I'll just do it.

Just do what?

She talked back.
She was very self-assured.

We wanted to be like her.

- Get out of my room now!
- I haven't finished with you!

You didn't? You're so finished!

Get out or I'll kick the macho out of you!

- Why are you so mad?
- Why?

"Why?"

I said I wouldn't touch you, and I didn't.

- But you kissed me.
- And you liked it.

- I didn't love it!
- You did!

- I didn't like it!
- Admit it. You liked it.

- Say whatever you want, you liked it.
- I didn't!

- You did!
- Out!

I loved it.

NATALIA OREIRO IS BACK - IS SHE SINGLE?
EVERYTHING ABOUT NATALIA OREIRO

I have to run...

Almost every girl had pictures
of Natalia Oreiro on their bedroom walls.

We had markers, notebooks, stickers

that were sold everywhere.
There were Natalia Oreiro pendants.

Because your love, unknowingly
Spills the poison that's killing me...

She represented what a woman is for us.

SPANISH CLUB IN KRASNODAR

We did our hair as hers.

- We even copied her bangs.
- Yes, the bangs!

I'm telling you
And you'll have to understand

I had your poison
I had your love and your fire too...

I waxed half of my eyebrow
and redraw it in an angle

to look like her.

I like to style my eyebrows since then.

Exactly. She expressed femininity.
We wanted to be like her.

And to talk like her,
that's why we were learning Spanish.

Obviously, in Moscow,
most classes teach Castilian Spanish.

And I got lower grades

for speaking with an Argentinian accent.

To me and many others,

Argentina and Buenos Aires

weren't the land of Maradona,
Evita, or Perón.

That city was the land of Natalia Oreiro
and Wild Angel.

This is beautiful!

For many Russians,
Natalia is as Russian as them.

It may be in part because of her name.

Natalia, Natasha,
is a very common name in Russia.

I'm a Siberian woman.

For many Russians,
traveling, even within the country,

like visiting Moscow,
is a dream very hard to achieve.

Because Russia is a huge country.

HI!

So when they see that someone
comes to their city, their town,

obviously,
they feel a connection much closer than...

Than between a celebrity and their fan.

Thank you so much!

Her fans are different.

They truly admire her,
they're not as crazy as other fandoms.

They also take good care of her.
And that speaks volumes about her too.

Hi!

Yeah, generally, in Russia,

presents are something quite meaningful.

A gift is a way to say,

"Now we are connected,
now you have something from me."

Yes!

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

It's even a way to express your emotions.

Because maybe we're not as good
at expressing them in words.

Yes!

- Cholito.
- Cholito!

We were in Argentina,

and she bought these flowers
in Buenos Aires

to bring them for Natalia.

There are no jasmines in Siberia.

Oh, yes, say yes

Oh, yes, say yes
Oh, yes, please say yes

Russians very often have meetings,

or go to Latin parties,
mostly Argentinian parties.

They bring hearts with her name on them
and film videos.

Natalia had her own style.

In the series,
her favorite singer was Gilda.

Only through Natalia Oreiro and her series

could we know about that culture.

Who knows the steps? Who wants to dance?

Let's dance!

Alright? Let's do it!

That girl.

Those two.

That girl, that one, yes, you.

Natasha!

Hi, how are you?

- What's your name?
- Vera.

- Nice to meet you, Vera. Hi, how are you?
- Hi.

Nastia.

"How are you?" "Nastia"?
"What's your name?" Is it okay?

- What's your name? Nastia?
- Nastia.

- How are you?
- Great.

Great!

Hi, how are you? So many kisses.

Okay, a little...

A little...

Alright.

Everybody!

One, two, three!

MOSCOW

YEKATERINBURG

I don't regret this love

UFA

Even if I lose my heart to it

SAINT PETERSBURG

OMSK

Love is a miracle and I loved you

As I never imagined I could

Who will rip me from your skin?

NIZHNY NOVGOROD

From your memory, your past

I feel life passes us by
And today will never come back

KAZAN

MINSK

Russians are said to be cold and distant,

but in fact we're really warm,

and when we open our doors to someone
and welcome them,

that's it, you're part of us now,
there's no turning back.

You'll be an honorary Russian forever.

It looks good on you.

Alright!

Many of us still think
she's from Argentina.

Then we were corrected,
"No, she's Uruguayan."

Oh, well, who cares,
she's our Natasha, that's it.

It's so cold.

It's so cold.

- Please, don't get in!
- It's so cold!

It has to do with her charisma

and her way to relate to people.

And the wind breaks you...

She talked to us as if she were one
of us girls. That was it.

That was very important,
she didn't put herself on a pedestal,

like a goddess... unreachable.

She treated us like peers,

as if she could sit with us
and chat about anything.

They see Natalia as their...

Their sister, their friend.

I will cry today.

She takes some time off in every city,
at least 15 minutes,

leaves her family, everything aside,
and goes see her fans.

And she cares a lot about them.

SAMARA, RUSSIA

It's hard to explain, but I feel...

as if a piece of my body was always...

with my son.

I...

enjoy myself a lot
every time I go on stage,

and when I smile...

That smile reflects
what the audience gives me.

So much love...

so much affection and joy,
such a long wait.

I usually watch videos from fans...

who tell me they've been following me
for 15 years.

And I see they were little then.

That gives me so much energy.

But when the show ends...

it's quite hard.

Lucid dream:

the altered state of consciousness

where the person has a dream
and gains control over it.

It's hard to walk along the street

Urban painting
Disappointment is hard

PLEASE SPEND SOME TIME WITH US

Diving head first all the time
From every springboard

But sadness remains

The river used to be silver
There are so many needs

Despair is hard

It's hard uphill

Snow!

- It's hard downhill
- But why?

It's hard to think there can't be change
It's hard to see a pond in the sea

The river is swelling
We'll see what happens

Oh, the river is swelling

Six o'clock in the morning.

We're playing today.

Well, we'll try.

The river is swelling

Oh, it's so hard uphill

Walking on the avenue
It takes an endless will

To make the moon come out again
Among so many rewards

Among so many high winds

It's hard uphill

It's hard downhill

It's hard to think there can't be change
It's hard to see a pond in the sea

Your attention, please...

It's simple:
if I don't sleep, I can't sing.

My voice is gone. It's a basic thing.

I can't perform three nights in a row
without sleeping! It's impossible.

What time is it?

It's 7:22.

So... Okay,
there are eight minutes left for 7:30.

Excuse me, sir,
what seems to be the problem?

The newspapers will say
I canceled the show.

It's a problem
between him and the manager.

He never paid me either,
and I performed every night anyway.

Well, we have a problem,
the tour manager that brought us here

doesn't want us to play our last show,
after opening the doors,

with the audience,
who don't know a thing, already here,

because the local manager didn't pay him.

Well, that manager who brought us

haven't paid us for any show either,
but we played anyway.

What would you do?

- The river is swelling
- We'll see what happens

We'll see what happens
Oh, the river is swelling

- We'll see what happens
- The river is swelling

We'll see what happens
Oh, the river is swelling

WITH LOVE FROM A FRIEND

The river is swelling
We'll see what happens

Oh, the river is swelling

MOSCOW

MOSCOW
THE NIGHT BEFORE THE SHOW, 3:00 A.M.

I believe in dreams.

And in luck too.

And in destiny too.

But most of all,
I believe in opportunities.

And when an opportunity comes,

if you think it has...

a place...

as a part of your dream,
you have to grab it.

But there is...

no success without hard work.

I think your truest reality
lies more in your dreams

than in life itself.

You put color to your life

to make it more bearable.

It's where everything is possible,
where you direct your own movie.

So, the design of that dream is part...

of what you'd like...

to happen to you.

R AND N

After so much dreaming

After so much waiting...

The first time I met him,
he was coming down the stairs.

He was with someone who introduced him:
"This is my friend Ricardo."

When he finally appeared,
I could only see his smile.

Actress and singer Natalia Oreiro

got married in secret with Argentinian
rock musician Ricardo Mollo.

She gave me the chance to feel
that I could fall in love.

I've only experienced that with her.
That's something big.

You're so full of light

Your eyes are the river

I sail up to your heart...

By the power vested in me as the captain
of this ship,

I now pronounce Natalia Oreiro
and Ricardo Mollo husband and wife.

The storms of love
That your body brings me

Your smile brought me the sun...

Respect for each other, support, care.

That... is love.

Your eyes are the river

I sail up to your heart

MOSCOW AIRPORT, 2014

Happy birthday to you

Again!

Happy birthday to you

- What are you doing?
- Playing the wah-wah on the guitar.

Your attention, please...

Hi!

Hi, little piggy.

Hi! I missed you so much!

I love you.

I love you very much.

Shall we go to the hotel? Up you go!

Yay, let's go! Hi, Russia!

- Bye, thank you!
- Thank you.

Bye, thank you so much!

Thanks.

You left without saying a word

Closing the door

Just when I was asking you a little more

Fear pushed you away from the nest

Without an answer

Leaving a hurt heart

Leaving me behind

And now I die of love if you're not here

I die and I can't wait

For you to come back here again

Next to me, with your kisses

I die of love if you're not here

I die and I can't wait

I need you to be here, next to me

Without your love, I can't go on

Hi, how are you? Okay?

SAINT PETERSBURG

Natalia is a smile.

Natalia is courage.

Natalia is pure heart.

Natalia is a feeling.

- She's our Natasha.
- She's our idol.

- She's our childhood.
- She has a Russian soul.

Natalia is a bridge
between Russia and Latin America.

I'll change pain for freedom

I'll change wounds for a dream...

We were visiting the Hermitage Museum
and Natalia came in, I was behind her.

And one of the museum guards,

she saw Natalia pass by and said
in Russian,

"Anastasia has returned."

It was really funny,
she stared at Natalia,

followed her with her eyes and then said,

"Anastasia has returned."

It is truly amazing
how well prepared she is.

Music, cinema, photography... painting.

These look like leaves.

These are leaves. They're carved.

Her audience can see beyond the photos,
the songs, the soap operas.

They have the chance to see a person,

a person who is so transparent
that makes them feel moved.

I traveled to Argentina, to Montevideo.

It's something I cannot explain, it's...

It's a very strong feeling.

If Milagros could find her father,
I can find mine too.

That was my main incentive
to look for him.

Eventually, I found him.

BOLSHOI BALLET
MOSCOW, 2014

RETURN TO THE ORIGIN:
CYCLICAL CONCEPTION OF TIME

IN WHICH THE END
IS AN ETERNAL RETURN TO THE BEGINNING.

Many times I wondered
why this has happened...

this thing with me and Russia.

Or other countries
that are so far away from Uruguay.

And I...

couldn't understand it.

It was such a different culture,

with such a different language,

because, although my movies and series
were often dubbed,

sometimes they were only subtitled.

And my songs are in Spanish,

and people in my concerts
listens to them and sings them in Spanish.

And every time I went there,
it surprised me and filled me with love.

It was incredibly moving,

but I couldn't understand
why that was happening to me.

I thought it'd be fleeting,

that it wouldn't happen
the following year.

But every time I went there...

more people loved me.

And I thought again,
"They won't remember me next year,"

as if I was a fad.

But they never forgot me.

And during this last tour,
I finally got it.

And I think it happens...

because...

what you love in your childhood
stays forever in your heart.

Most people who come to my shows
grew up with me.

There was a bar here.

When I came back from school,
my grandpa was sitting here.

There used to be...

See? There are rocks underneath.

They're covered with grass now.

My grandma lived across the street.
I used to play with some girls from there.

This was my grandma's house.

She had a rose bush here.

This is the shed where I used to dress up.

- What games did you play here, Natalia?
- Anything, I dressed up...

role-played, played school, cooked.

I spent whole days in here.

And here...

And here...

my grandma had many plants.

I remember I made little bird houses
and put food for them.

I have a photo of me here
with a chick.

I held it like this.

"Each person shines
with his or her own light

among all others.

No two fires are alike.

There are big fires and small fires,

and fires of every color.

There are people with serene fire,

who don't even notice the wind,

and people with crazy fire,

who fill the air with sparks.

Some fires, foolish fires,

do not light or burn,

but others burn life with such desire

that you cannot look at them
without blinking,

and whoever comes close to them...

lights up."

With tears in my eyes
I drifted away

I experienced how hard it is
To leave it all behind

My people, my neighborhood

Having to leave my land
Alone when I was still a child

Leaving it all behind chasing my fantasies

I'm from the Río de la Plata,
I have a Latin heart and a candombe soul

I always wear a smile
And carry my dreams on my back

I have no borders

I'm from the Río de la Plata
Long live candombe and its hot blood

That rhythm that lights up my soul
And makes my people's eyes shine

I'm from the Río de la Plata,
I have a Latin heart and a candombe soul

I always wear a smile
And carry my dreams on my back

I have no borders

I'm from the Río de la Plata
Long live candombe and its hot blood

That rhythm that lights up my soul
And makes my people's eyes shine

YOU'RE THE SAME AS ALWAYS

Thank you!
