Take Me for a Ride (2016) - full transcript
High school can be horrible, especially when your classmates make you feel like a freak. But sometimes that pain only means that finding the person who gets you is all the sweeter. Loner Sara is in her last year of high school and is miserable. She is shunned by the girls in her class for being "weird" and spends her lunches smoking in a hiding place behind the school. That is, until the new girl, Andrea, invades her hideout one day. Andrea and Sara fall for each other instantly, bonding over their love of books and solitude. Things might actually start to look up for Sara, but then the world intrudes and threatens their happiness. Can their love survive homophobic classmates and parents?
Too short darling, too short
Miss, please, your skirt should be at
least five fingers long.
Let's go.
Going back to the subject, about realism,
these two writers, especially
Carver and Cheever
Focus on their main characters
in a everyday way.
I mean, they pursue sensitivity, to tell
stories that describes situations, smells,
Colors.
That's why they're criticized by classics
authors, precisely because they are part of
A literature movement called Dirty Realism
Dad. Dad?
Hello.
Let's see, explain that to me.
And isn't there any publisher?
It's ok, I understand.
Goodbye.
What happened?
Nothing.
Well, the same as always.
Nobody cares to publish.
The nonsense that my old man writes.
Uribe.
Vaca.
Zaldumbide.
Senior year is the most difficult and your
grades can affect your college decisions.
So, you can't rest on your laurels.
You'll have to make monthly presentations
about Politics, International Relations,
Environmental Impact...
That grade will be half of
your midterm grade.
Oh, I almost forgot!
This year justified tardies
Will be reduced to 5.
Your name is Andrea, right? Take a seat.
Your classmates will get to know you.
So, Sociology.
We are going to start by studying the
Classics, such as Marx, Webber, Durkheim.
Their theories will help us
understand human behavior.
When it coexists in a habitat in a
temporary shared space.
Can you smoke here?
Just be careful with the butts.
There's more control every time.
Thanks.
So you got away from Emilia and her
little group of friends?
Tell me about it.
Its not good idea you hanging out with me.
They don't like me very much.
Yeah, I know. They told me already:
“Watch out for Sara! She's so weird!”
See? If you want to have an easy year,
you'd better ignore me.
I love this smell.
What smell?
The smell of the old books.
Me too.
I was gaining some time.
I arrived a little early.
Life is access to the self and while life is
mortal, the continuity of the self is not.
Approaching continuity,
be drunk by it, is something
That dominates the vision of death.
Philosophy.
I see.
Do you read a lot?
Kind of.
My dad is a writer.
So he gave me lots of books
ever since I was a little girl.
You're lucky. I don't get anything.
I had to give myself a book for my birthday.
Was it recently?
No. It was two months ago.
It feels different to be eighteen.
Eighteen?
Yeah. Theoretically,
I can do whatever I want.
They improved my street.
What is special about this street?
You hadn't been here before?
I don't think so.
How did you find my hiding place?
I saw you taking a cigarette box out of your
backpack and I followed you.
I was dying for a cigarette!
I find it weird that there are so many clubs
around and nobody comes here.
That's precisely it's charm.
I used to come here a lot when I was 15.
It was a shitty time,
One of the worst times of my life.
What happened? If you want to tell me
about it; it not, it's OK.
It was when my parents were getting
divorced. My house was hell on Earth.
My mom was getting crazier,
and about to make me go crazy, too.
And what did you do?
I walked without knowing where to.
I didn't have a lot of money; so I stayed
here for hours, trying to find some peace.
Did you?
What?
Find some peace.
Yeah, I guess so.
I decided to go to my aunt's house.
I think solitude is necessary
to make decisions.
If it were up to me, I would be
alone all the time.
I'm going to give your essays about
The Tunnel back to you.
They are not good, kids.
Please, work a little harder.
It's not worth to starting
the term like this.
Tomés. San“.
Uhm... Lucia? Why did I get an F?
Let's see, Emilia.
Kids, I asked you to write your opinion
About the texts you read, not to copy papers
from the Internet.
Your paper says the following...
I wish my house was near this cliff.
You're tragic!
No, it would be to write
poems and cute things.
Two Loves. 'Sweet youth, tell me why, sad
and sighing, thou dost rove these pleasant
Realms?
I pray thee speak me sooth.
What is thy name?' He said,
'My name is Love.'
Then straight the first did turn
himself to me and cried, 'He lieth,
For his name is Shame,
But I am Love, and I was wont to be alone in
this fair garden, till he came unasked by
Night; I am true Love, I fill the hearts of
boy and girl with mutual flame.'
(The punishment is over!
Let's go party this Friday!)
Then sighing, said the other, 'Have thy
will, I am the love that dare
Not speak its name.'
The story of Elena Acosta,
shook and moved the whole country.
After knowing her accusation spread
all over social media.
Elena, a 29 year old, was
detained against her will.
She was taken for 2 months
to a Rehab Clinic.
Where they offer a treatment to allegedly
cure her homosexuality.
Let's hear more about this renowned case.
Elena Acosta was walking on the street.
Two men on foot grabbed her and
Pushed her into a black car.
They told me to stay still, I tried
to scream, to escape, but they held me hard
And pushed me inside a black car.
Well, thank you for everything, Carmen.
I have to get going.
We have Economy homework to do.
Do you want to do homework here?
We haven't finished our homework yet.
But...
No, just saying, but I see her kind of lost.
Besides, they don't seem to have a goal
after finishing high school.
Girls, don't you want something to
eat before you go out?
No, thanks mom.
Don't be rude!
What do you have to offer, Carmen?
We have humitas.
Yummy!
That sounds way better than junk food.
So, let me warm up an humita.
What about a sandwich with it?
OK. Thanks
What if I take you?
Don't worry.
We already called a reliable cab.
But you have to get back home early.
You know I don't like you girls to be out
Alone on the streets at night.
Sara. And no drinking!
Is this the band you are going to see?
Yeah. It's good, isn't it?
My daddy secretly likes bolero songs.
Sara doesn't have a clue about
her father, the rocker
Girls... For the beers.
Don't drink too much.
Thank you dad.
(National Anthem of Ecuador)
Take out your articles and get into groups.
This is about immigrants coming back from
Spain due to unemployment.
I think it is more interesting to talk about
the Spanish people that come here
Because of the crisis.
I didn't bring anything. Sorry.
I brought one about DVD piracy.
We can work on this.
Let's work with the one about the DVD's.
Thank you dad
The concert on Saturday cool, wasn't it?
- You where there?
- Yeah.
Why you didn't say hi?
Because I saw you guys from far away and
I had to leave before it ended
Can you tell me what is wrong with you?
With me? There is nothing wrong with me.
Sebas was there, he will say that he saw us
What that's what worries you?
Don't play the fool with me!
Sara fuck off!
If that's what you want, we
won't talk ever again.
Good afternoon.
Hi, Mariana. It's Sara. Is Andrea home?
No, Miss Sara.
Andrea had an argument with her mother
And ran out of the house.
What is it?
Why's the music so loud?
Aren't you supposed to be doing homework?
We finished already.
Ready girls, let's eat.
If you don't close your eyes,
it doesn't count.
Do you want to surprise me?
What?
Do you want to surprise me?
You get scared easily, right?
Hello.
What?
But who?
But how?
I don't know.
There are pictures on the Internet.
Everyone knows.
You're the only one who sees them.
You have to pay more attention.
There are more birds here than
Any other species.
I don't know.
So, every time I come
It seems like they flee.
No, they're just sleeping.
That's what we should do.
What happened to my little girl?
Are you following me?
No. I heard some noises, so I came here
to see what was going on.
Where are you?
I'll wait for you outside.
Good Luck.
Do you want a little bit more, my child?
No, no thanks.
Ehm... I want to tell you guys something.
I'm seeing someone in a relationship.
Are you really? That's great! With who?
Well... You know'em already.
Sebastian?
I like that kid because he's smart.
No. It's not Sebas.
Another of the your classmates?
It's not a classmate?
If not, then who is it?
She only hangs out with Andrea all the time.
Exactly.
Miss, please, your skirt should be at
least five fingers long.
