That Night of November (2018) - full transcript
The walls between us always end up falling.
It's cold, what time is it?
Just after 7
It's too early, come back to bed
Let me finish my cigarette
You should stop
Go back to sleep, I'll be there in a minute
What the hell are you doing?
Sorry
What time is it?
Quarter to ten
Well, it's about time
How did you sleep?
Not too good
Why?
Maybe you should smoke less
Sure, that'll be it
I already apologised for waking you up
OK
What were you thinking about so early?
Nothing worth mentioning
I guess it has to do with not sleeping well
That's all
I know you don't sleep well,
maybe you should ask yourself why
I slept better when I had
something to wake up for
Don't overthink it
There are lots of things I shouldn't
be doing it seems to me
You're so gorgeous when you just wake up!
What?
You always wake up horny
Don't be wicked
It's true that you look handsome
Get lost!
I already said sorry
I know
Love me a bit, come on
I already love you
I can tell
Where are you going?
To the bathroom
Do you wanna come too?
I bumped into Carla in Lugo Square yesterday
Really? What did that cow have to say?
You are so mean!
She said that they're looking
for admin staff at Atlantic Insurance
You should go and check it out
Atlantic would be a good place to work
I know it's not really your field
But it would be easy for you
You were one of the first people
to have a computer here in Coruña
You're so stuck in the past
Everybody has a computer now
And you're too hip
How many people do you know that have one?
I mean people in admin…
I know our friends don't
People in admin don't either
You should go, you have nothing to lose
You're right, maybe I will
Did you see this about Germany?
Are you drawing me?
No
Liar
The way you're standing… makes your arse look….
If you loved me as much as you love my butt…
Get lost
Don't be mad
I like that you like my ass
Aren't you going to paint anymore?
I was…
Draw!
No
Why?
I'm not in the mood anymore
You are so pigheaded
It's exhausting that you
always have something to say
I can't say anything nice about you
Don't be like that, the day is just beginning
Are you always up for it?
Of course!
I want you 24/7
If I had a penny for every kiss
And what would you do with so much money?
Where are you going now?
For a shower
I stink
I like you sweaty
Yes you do
You back already?
What did they say in Atlantic?
Not a lot
And that's it?
14 points! That puts Xose Ramón
ahead of the competition
The next question is for Rosa
How many litres made an imperial gallon?
4.5 litres
I'm reading!
So stop for a moment and tell me
They aren't looking for anyone
That's weird, Carla told me…
Carla can say what she wants
Something happened and
you don't want to tell me
I'm telling you they aren't looking for anyone
At least people like me
What did they say?
Nothing
Same crap as always
I don't fit in the job
They are looking for someone younger, with a degree…
That's bullshit
You know more than anyone that's just graduated
Ok So you go to tell them
Don't blame me
It doesn't matter, I didn't like the job anyway
Well, you will have to find something you like
You could go looking too
They wouldn't choose me
Probably not
I told you to turn it off, I'm trying to read
The living room TV is broken,
and the sound is down
Do I turn it on when you're reading?
Listen
What?
"Doolie sick was an unnerving sight
The envelope of personality was gone,
dissolved by his junk-hungry cells
Viscera and cells, galvanized into a loathsome insect-like activity,
on the point of breaking through the surface
His face was blurred, unrecognizable,
at the same time shrunken and tumescent."
That's sad
I find it fascinating
It talks about harsh things
It isn't easy to find books like this
As if the world we live in weren't grey enough
Well the one you're reading
isn't an “ode to joy” either
Don't spoil it for me eh!
I told my parents last night
No!
Why you did that?
Thanks a lot for your support
I didn't mean that but you know
what your parents are like
How did they take it?
I thought that when it came down to it,
it would be different
So not well
They want me to leave home
What? How can they be such morons?
Don't talk about my parents like that
Are you really defending them?
They are not perfect but
they are the only ones I have
Your father doesn't surprise me,
but your mother…
My mother has been married
to my dad for 25 years
I have never seen her go against him
But this time is different
You are their son!
Aren't you?
She didn't want any of this to happen
She spent the whole night crying
word That's all well and good
But she didn't say anything
25 years is a long time being set in your ways
Maybe if you talk with her alone
I don't want them fighting over this,
It's better to leave it as it is
Where will I go now?
What about your aunt's?
My parents told her,
she doesn't want to get involved
So she's washing her hands of you?
You're being mean
I'm being mean?
Your family is rejecting you for loving a man,
and I am the one who's being mean?
Let it go
How can I?
What are you going to do now?
I don't know
I'm sorry
Come and live with me
With your mom and grandma? Are you crazy?
No dafty
I have something to tell you too
I got the job in the bank I told you about
Now I can rent an apartment
I guess I can crash at yours until I find a job
No, you have to finish your studies first
And who is going to pay my expenses? You?
You don't get it do you?
I don't want you to crash at mine a few days
while you search for something else
I want you to come and live with me
The apartment can be ours
In a few months you will be finished your
studies and then you can find a job too
And will we stop seeing other guys?
What for?
To be like straight people?
What's the matter?
We are not like them
We can't make the same mistakes
I don't want to be with anybody else
Me neither
But what if we do in the future?
We can wait until they figure out
what this new disease is
And decide after that Ok?
Well
I guess it worth a try
Since we are going to live together
In the past 3 years we haven't spent
more than a couple of nights together
So?
Are you sure about taking this step?
Your family has taken it for us
You don't owe me anything,
I don't know if you know that
What do you mean?
You're always cleaning and
tidying up like the maid
So pick up your stuff
I will, you don't have to do it
Well I have to do something
Since I don't work
I don't work either
You haven't been out of work long
And it won't be long before
you find something else
You can't know that
Well, let's see how we get by
When did we turn into this?
When did we turn into what?
Into your parents
You haven't mentioned them for a long time
They popped into my head right now
With Gabriel detergents your clothes…
What were you thinking about,
while you were reading?
Do I have to tell you everything
I think about?
Maybe if you did, we wouldn't be so like them
Breaking news, We are receiving from East Germany
the images of a series of full-scale demonstrations…
We have to do something
Like what?
Anything
We need a change
And what comes to mind?
No idea
Just ignore me
Come on, talk to me
It doesn't matter
Since you are at home you turn everything around
And you're driving me crazy
Then we need to do something
But something like what?
Like what?
I don't know
¡Gorby! ¡Gorby!
Whatever you say
Are you better?
What was wrong with me??
Forget it
Sorry
I should not have mentioned your parents
It doesn't matter
It does
Your father's passing is still recent
I don't care
You should, he was your father
Yes, and you know how we treated us
I know
Is that what you were thinking about before?
You can be so annoying when you want to be
You think too much about the past lately
How would you know what I think about?
Because we've been together for 11 years Roberto
It's lasting too long for you I see
Don't start it again please!
Do you have to go to bed so soon?
I can't be bothered to do anything after that
Let me cheer you up
You always fix everything with sex
It's not true
We can go out
On Monday?
Nobody goes out on Mondays
Come on, we can clear our heads
We can dance a bit
What we should do is talk
We never do anything but talk
You never want to talk
Come on
Cheer up
Get dressed
Let's go
A bit of dancing
A few drinks
What do you say?
But just for a while
As long as you like
One drink and back home
Ok
You're such a troublemaker
And you love that
Sure
Come on, let's go
I love you
Me too
Sorry about yesterday
You always do the same
You're right
And don't say that just to shut me up
I'm not
You're absolutely right
I'm an asshole
You're right
Do you want to talk?
Now do you want to talk?
You are always saying that we don't talk enough
Yes, in fact we only talk about when you want to
Well today I don't want to
What's more, you always do the same, everytime
You don't care about me, I don't know if you're with
me out of routine, because you feel sorry for me…
Don't say that
I'm with you beacuase I love you
I can't tell when you're lying to me
or when you're telling the truth
I don't lie to you, it's true
So why do you do those things?
I don't know
Yesterday was a pretty weird day
And when we hit the bar I drank too fast
You drink like that because you
don't tell me what's going on in your head
We don't have to talk about eveything either
You see! We only talk when you want to,
and about what you want
Don't be like that
Only if it interests you
I'm sorry
Also
If affects you this way
I really think that we should talk about it
Maybe you're right
Can't you see? In the end I'm comforting you,
I don't know how you do it
That's because you're better than me
And don't suck up now
I'm not, it's true
Leave me alone
Diana was well pissed yesterday
Do you remember when we feel off the bar?
What's incredible it's that in your
condition you can remember it too
Doesn't matter which day we go out
We always bump into her
You would make a great couple
Come on, don't be like that
You know that if it wasn't for you,
God alone knows where I would be
Don't be daft
I'm not, you know that
Stop exaggerating
You're the most important thing in my life
Who would have thought it!
I don't show it enough
but I'm going to change
I can't get angry with you
What a pathetic kiss
You don't deserve more than that
Let me sleep a little more
And if you make that noise again
with the blind I'll kill you
You're awake
Did I sleep long?
A couple of hours
I love the shape of your back right here
What else?
And the beginning of your ass
In this curve
Sure, especially the beginning
Idiot
Do you like that too?
That's what I like the most
And you? What do you like about me?
This thing right here isn't at all bad
And seems a bit happy
And what else?
The shape of your collar bone, right here
And anything else?
The fact that you never left me
Where I would want to go?
There were times that anywhere
would have been better than here
And I caused most of those times
I also like it when you lie to me
to make me feel better
I made you a promise
That was a long time ago
Nobody is going to force you to keep it
But I want to keep it
Do you remember the referendum day?
What are you talking about?
The constitutional referendum
Why have you remembered that now?
Because you were smoking in a similar way
That's not true, that day
I was practically chain smoking
It's true, you were a nervous wreck
Of course I was
The two of us stranded
in the middle of the Mount Pindo
The 205 wouldn't start
On the day that we could vote for the end of 40 years
of hiding, prosecution, insults in the streets…
You're so idealistic!
It's been 11 years since then, and they still
look badly at us if we hold hands in public
And you still hear some insults too
Yes, but things have improved a lot
What has improved? Is your life better?
Their lives are better!
We are still shut away in dark pubs
Deceiving the landlord and
renting a two bedroom flat
What the hell do we need another bedroom for?
At least they can't put us in jail
Your beloved referendum was already
approved when I was jailed the last time
No way!
No? It was in January of 79
So late? I didn't remember that
I remember! Your aunt's cousin,
the military policeman
He must have thought that locking me away for three
days in that cell would cure me of my gayness
And that you would find a good
wife and have tonnes of kids
It didn't go as he planned
It certainly didn't
But you have to admit that the
constitution is the base of everything
Base of what?
The base of nothing
We were persecuted several
years after Franco's death
And we have a head of state appointed by him
I love it when you get on your soap box
Like when you dragged me to the rallies
Well, communism is not doing much better
At least there, the women
can have an abortion freely
Because they don't have enough
food to feed so many children
Why do you think they are climbing the wall?
I'm guessing that that wall
will not stand for too long
Promise to take me there when it falls?
I don't know what with
But if one day we do have some
I promise I will
How long we had been dating
at the time of the referendum?
8 months wasn't it?
That long?
We started in March and the referendum
was held in November or December I think
We started in summer, in March was when we met
And I count from then
Since when?
Since the very beginning
We were inseparable from the first day
How cares when we named it
Do you remember that night?
Loli introduced us
Oh Loli…
It was a pity
Was she using heroine at that time?
No idea, I don't think so
At least she got us together
She give us a good gift
Even then, you were doing your
tricks from the very beginning
What do you mean?
Our first date was perfect
I'm going to get some napkins
What's up Loli? Get me a drink
What are you doing here so early!
How welcoming! If you want me to leave…
Don't be silly, it's just that I set your date
with Miguel in an hour's time
Yes, I know
I want to see what the atmosphere is like first
Why did you tell us to come so late?
It's not that late! Quite normal if you ask me…
If you say so
By the way
Who is performing today?
… it's Miguel
Miguel who?
Your date
What?
What's wrong?
Nothing, Now I know why you
told us to come so late
Listen I had better go, don't tell him I came
Don't be silly!
Don't be like that?
Listen Loli, I don't like that thing
What thing? Miguel is an amazing guy
Look, come back in an hour and meet him
I'm sure you will adore him
I'm not promising anything
Loli give me a drink please
What's up with you?
You did great! It was only your second show!
Nothing's up
Not much…
At what time did do you say you
set up the meeting with that guy?
He must be about to arrive
Sure
Drink it
He is not coming
Don't freak out, it's only been 40 minutes
Look! There he is is!
Sorry! Am I a bit late
At last! This is Miguel
A bit late
I'm sorry
I lost track of the time
I didn't think you would come
A good friend of mine insisted
that I should come and meet you
She can be really insistent
She is quite right too
Sorry!
Don't worry
Do you want to dance?
What are you thinking about?
Nothing, nonsense
That isn't new
You reminded me of our first date
It was quite a few years ago
And what were you thinking?
Nothing in particular
We don't remember things in the same way
What do you mean?
It was not as perfect as you say,
you were a bit late
It was a weird day
And that's it?
Is that what gives you so much to think about?
Yes and no
Don't you want to tell me?
Or did you arrive early, I don't remember now
What are you talking about?
Never mind
Don't you want to tell me what you were thinking?
I was just thinking, about time, about how it passes
And how late for one person
might be soon for another person
You're worrying me
Don't, it's nothing
Don't tell me then
Are you coming back to bed?
Have you seen that David Bowie
has released a new album?
Really? I haven't heard about it
The thing is that he has not
released it as David Bowie
With what name then? Ana Kiro?
No, he has formed a group, Tin Machine
That's strange
It's a bit weird
What?
That someone so famous would hide his name
in a group at this stage in his career
Maybe was precisely that what he want,
Escape from his name
His last albums were pretty terrible
A bit drastic don't you think?
Who knows
This may be a new beginning for him and he will
make some wonderful albums the next decade
You haven't even heard the last one yet
It's not necessary
We just have to trust Bowie
If not, what's left?
Fuck off
What are you doing?
Touching you
You're going to start thinking I like you and all
A bit more than the last few Bowie albums at least
Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd
Harpier cries 'Tis time, 'tis time
Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined
What a rubbish adaptation
I don't know why they insist on doing
endless versions of Shakespeare
They shouldn't mess with the dead
We interrupt the broadcast of Macbeth to give way to a
special news bulletin coming to us from East Germany where…
I have had enough of newsletters about Germany
Nothing is going to change anyway!
You always think nothing is ever going to change
What do you mean?
That suddenly one day
Things will change and catch you by surprise
Where's this coming from all of a sudden?
It's nothing
No it's not
About Germany, what else?
Forget your problems with the new...
Can you turn it off? I'm drawing
The news is about to start
I don't care
Wasn't it you that was so interested
in what's happening in Germany?
We open with the lastest news in the
Democratic Republic of Germany
Where nine members of the government have
notified of their resignation this afternoon
If the wall comes down now
We don't have the money to go there
It won't come to that yet
It seems like they're cleaning their
reputation to stay in power
Yes, it does look like that
Pervert
Do you want me to freeze death?
You are very creative these days
Why do you say that?
You draw me
Now you're taking photos of me
Can I not like my boyfriend's body?
Yes, my arse in particular, it would appear…
Everything revolves around your arse
So funny…
And you? What's up with you today?
What do you mean?
You don't complain about me waking you up
Or about me undressing you
When have I ever had a problem
with you undressing me?
Don't you see how happy you are?
I like the way you look at me when I am your muse
And what is that “look “ like?
As if you were going to eat me
“At your service”
I'm going to talk to Bernardo
What did you say?
That I'm going to talk to Bernardo!
I'm thinking of organizing another exhibition
Is the material you've been working on that good?
I think so
Go for it then
But don't go over the top like the last time
What do you mean?
That we are penniless
That's exactly why!
With the exhibition we could make some money
Sure, like the last time…
Thanks for your vote of confidence
I'm just saying that we can't afford to waste money
If it was up to you, we wouldn't have
done the other one either
Rober...
What?
Nobody buys pictures of naked men
Well, You know what?
maybe I should change the model!
Do what you want
Well, I think I will!
I'm home
I got the bread…
You back already?
Yes
Did you go and see “la Bernarda” in the end?
Yes..I did
And?
Bah, What does he know…
Not great then…
That miser wanted me to pay all the expenses
Tell me you didn't say yes
We couldn't afford to, even if we wanted to
I offered him 70%
That's way too much!
I know!
It doesn't matter anyway, he didn't accept
Apparently, it's not a good time, the market is slow
Male nudes are hard to sell
Same old story
And what are you doing?
Nothing
That's no use
I know, but I worry
Our savings are running out
We will figure out something
Well, we have to do it before our dole money stops
I know…
And
Is that all you were thinking about?
Tell me
It's everything, you know that…
You worry too much
I don't know
I'm so scared of my own destiny
There's no destiny as such
Only the one we make
It would be nice to believe that
Then believe it
I don't know if I can
Of course, he is at work
I know
Sure, goodbye
Goodbye mother
Did you just say “goodbye mother”?
Yes it was her
What she want?
Nothing, bother me about the funeral costs
and God alone knows what, about the inheritance
What a cheek!
No, actually she didn't ask for anything
I think she just wanted to talk
Talk?
Your mother?
She must be feeling a bit lonely
If she's calling you, she must be
What?
When was the last time she called you to “talk”?
Did you know that she still
refers to you as my “friend”?
And you only talked about that?
If you and I are just friends, do you think
we'd be talking about anything else?
That's true
Maybe I should go and see her for a few days
No, love
A couple of nights maybe
You know how it turned out the last time you went
The situation was very different
You don't say…
I know I screwed up the last time,
but you don't know how hard it was
And I ended up hurting you when it wasn't your fault, but I think it's
going to be different this time, besides my father is gone now
Do as you will
I wouldn't go
When was the last time this worked?
What?
Don't you see that it's going to the same as always?
But the last time…
Don't even think about talking about the last time
But…
Just leave it!
Ok?
Tell me!
Leave me alone!
Don't treat me like an idiot,
look at me when I'm talking to you!
What?!
Say it!
You're right! I slept with him, okay?
Okay? Moron!
You make me feel sick!
It's all your fault!
My fault?!
You don't know what they're like!
They started with the same old story, that they
didn't want to have a son like that and all that shit
And you left me alone for two days with them
And you wanted to piss them off right?
It doesn't matter if you screwed me as well!
Leave me alone!
I told you to leave me alone!
Listen to me Miguel…
You have put up with a lot of my shit
I told you I did not want to talk about that
But it is clear that you never forgave me
That's not true
It was three years ago, if I hadn't
forgiven you I wouldn't be here now
But you're still hurting
A bit, yes!
That means that you haven't forgiven me entirely
No
That's because I can't forget it
I couldn't even if I wanted to
And I don't know if I really want to
If it hurts, it's because I still love you
You don't deserve what I did to you
And you don't deserve the way I treat you…
Is it possible to leave all of this behind us?
It would be so easy if we could
go back to the beginning
It would be
But time only moves forward
I don't know
Maybe...
We should break up
No
No, we have always been together
I wouldn't know what to do
But we've been through so much
But that should make us stronger!
We have to find a way to make us stronger
Not weaker
And… Do you think we can?
We've been through more difficult tests
Yes, but we were younger
I don't think I'm going to go…
To see your mother?
Yes
It's for the best
You're right
It's going to do more harm than good
I never understood your family
I can understand that was difficult for them to accept you,
but after all these years that nothing's changed
I don't get it
Not everyone is lucky enough
to have a mother like yours
I know
Sometimes I think about how things
would have been, if my father was alive
But he was left wing, wasn't he?
Yes
He was left wing
But he was born in 1938
At least it seems that the people are becoming
more openminded from one generation to another
A bit too slowly in my opinion
Maybe by 2020 they won't look at us
as if we were freaks anymore
Yeah
And families will accept their “queer” sons and drive
around happily all together in their flying cars
They will never accept us
Don't be so pessimistic!
Look to other countries
Like Denmark
They have just passed a new civil unions law
Denmark isn't another country,
it's on a different planet
Light years from us
Well, maybe we should go in those
flying cars you were talking about
And why didn't you go to vote?
Bloody hell!
It's been almost two weeks since the election!
And?
I didn't like either of them!
I wasn't going to vote for Felipe again, that's for sure
Well, you could have voted for
the lesser of two evils...at least
Sure
You could have at least voted for
the “Nationalist Block” like I said
Come on, even Ruiz Mateos
had more votes than them
And he got hammered in the last ones
With that attitude we will never get representation
It's not a question of attitude, Galicia isn't
nationalist, hardly anybody is here
I bet you anything you like, that one of these
days we will get into the Regional government
Sure, keep on dreaming
Do me a favour, turn on the TV
I'm sure that the news is already on
And on to other things, the new leader of the GDR, Egon Krenz,
convened a meeting of the central committee
To work on a decree law on the opening
of the country's borders
You could see this coming, they are capable of emptying
the country just as long as they don't have to leave
They will never go
Forget about our holidays
The Wall is going to be there for some time
Where have you been?
I went out for a while to run some errands
Why didn't you tell me?
It's no big deal
Yes, it is!
What's in that envelope?
Just some paperwork
Where did you go? To see the doctor?
What's up? The only things I have
to manage are about doctors?
Is that all I'm good for?
Don't be a drama queen!
You know that you can't just take off like that
Take off? If I only went out for a moment!
You know you can't, regardless
Who's making me? You?
Am I locked in?
What are you doing?
Where do you think I have been?
If you don't want to tell me, how the hell should I know?
You're paranoid!
What I am, is worried! What did the doctor say to you?
Here we go again! I haven't been to the doctor's!
Is that all that I am to you? A sick person
you won't leave because you pity me?
Let me tell you that you are not
my nurse or my guard!
Jesus! Sometimes it's like you want me to leave…
And that's what you're going to get
Maybe you should, it's not going
to be a pretty spectacle
I've already heard that before
What did the doctor say to you?
Leave me alone!
I don't love you!
Screw you Miguel!
I should have left you to rot alone!
Forgive me
What's wrong?
I'm scum, I don't deserve you
You're scaring me, what do the blood tests say?
It's not just the blood test
What do you mean?
I should have told you
You can tell me now
I'm positive
What!?
I'm so sorry Roberto, I'm an asshole
And now you have to be tested too
But how did this happen?
I don't deserve you
Who with?
I'm a piece of shit
Tell me who it was!?
And now I put you in danger
Shit. ..shit ..shit ..shit!!
You can't go through life like this!
How could you do this to me again?
Again?!
Who do you think you are?
Calm down a bit.. ok?
How can I calm down?
I put us both in danger
And now you are going to leave me
And I deserve it
I didn't say I was going anywhere
You will
I'm not denying how angry I am right now
But we have been through so many things
together and we will get through this too
it's not going to be a pretty spectacle
Hey… don't give up yet
We will fight this
Why won't you go?
Why won't you go?
Sorry
Where would I want to go?
Miguel, I can't stand it anymore
Don't say that
It's all just too difficult
We can get through this
I asked for your support yesterday
and I'm asking you again now
I know… but I can't
You're asking too much of me,
and whatever I do...
Just never seems enough
Before, we managed to make things work
Before it was different
Is it my fault, for being sick?
Don't say that!
So?
You've changed Miguel
That disease changed you and I've changed too
I've done all that I could
I don't want to give up
And you mustn't!
I'm going to stay by your side
But not like this
You don't love me anymore
I will always love you
But 11 years is too long
Especially the last one
Especially the last ones
The boy I fell in love of is too far away
You haven't changed
You now that's not true
I should go and stay at my cousin's house
Not tonight, no
If I don't go now, I don't think I will ever be able to do it
I'm going to stay by your side
But not like this
Promise me
I don't have to promise anything
I already did that a long time ago
Are you sure you don't want to spend the night?
I can't
Don't forget to take your meds
Do you hear me?
My body is fighting for time
that doesn't belong to it…
Do you remember when were younger and we
played at holding our breath under water?
My life has become “let's see how long
you can keep breathing above water…”
I can't
Please
Please
Stop
You're right, sorry
I'm going to turn on the TV
I don't want to see you go
These are the shocking images what
are we receiving at this very moment
From East Berlín where after the
press conference this afternoon
Roberto
Don't insist, don't make it more difficult
No, on the TV
And now… yes? We are receiving right now
the images that we are watching on the screen
Dozens of people climbing the wall
Are you seeing the same as I am? This
seems to be the end of East Germany
It seems that the Berlin wall has just fallen
Just after 7
It's too early, come back to bed
Let me finish my cigarette
You should stop
Go back to sleep, I'll be there in a minute
What the hell are you doing?
Sorry
What time is it?
Quarter to ten
Well, it's about time
How did you sleep?
Not too good
Why?
Maybe you should smoke less
Sure, that'll be it
I already apologised for waking you up
OK
What were you thinking about so early?
Nothing worth mentioning
I guess it has to do with not sleeping well
That's all
I know you don't sleep well,
maybe you should ask yourself why
I slept better when I had
something to wake up for
Don't overthink it
There are lots of things I shouldn't
be doing it seems to me
You're so gorgeous when you just wake up!
What?
You always wake up horny
Don't be wicked
It's true that you look handsome
Get lost!
I already said sorry
I know
Love me a bit, come on
I already love you
I can tell
Where are you going?
To the bathroom
Do you wanna come too?
I bumped into Carla in Lugo Square yesterday
Really? What did that cow have to say?
You are so mean!
She said that they're looking
for admin staff at Atlantic Insurance
You should go and check it out
Atlantic would be a good place to work
I know it's not really your field
But it would be easy for you
You were one of the first people
to have a computer here in Coruña
You're so stuck in the past
Everybody has a computer now
And you're too hip
How many people do you know that have one?
I mean people in admin…
I know our friends don't
People in admin don't either
You should go, you have nothing to lose
You're right, maybe I will
Did you see this about Germany?
Are you drawing me?
No
Liar
The way you're standing… makes your arse look….
If you loved me as much as you love my butt…
Get lost
Don't be mad
I like that you like my ass
Aren't you going to paint anymore?
I was…
Draw!
No
Why?
I'm not in the mood anymore
You are so pigheaded
It's exhausting that you
always have something to say
I can't say anything nice about you
Don't be like that, the day is just beginning
Are you always up for it?
Of course!
I want you 24/7
If I had a penny for every kiss
And what would you do with so much money?
Where are you going now?
For a shower
I stink
I like you sweaty
Yes you do
You back already?
What did they say in Atlantic?
Not a lot
And that's it?
14 points! That puts Xose Ramón
ahead of the competition
The next question is for Rosa
How many litres made an imperial gallon?
4.5 litres
I'm reading!
So stop for a moment and tell me
They aren't looking for anyone
That's weird, Carla told me…
Carla can say what she wants
Something happened and
you don't want to tell me
I'm telling you they aren't looking for anyone
At least people like me
What did they say?
Nothing
Same crap as always
I don't fit in the job
They are looking for someone younger, with a degree…
That's bullshit
You know more than anyone that's just graduated
Ok So you go to tell them
Don't blame me
It doesn't matter, I didn't like the job anyway
Well, you will have to find something you like
You could go looking too
They wouldn't choose me
Probably not
I told you to turn it off, I'm trying to read
The living room TV is broken,
and the sound is down
Do I turn it on when you're reading?
Listen
What?
"Doolie sick was an unnerving sight
The envelope of personality was gone,
dissolved by his junk-hungry cells
Viscera and cells, galvanized into a loathsome insect-like activity,
on the point of breaking through the surface
His face was blurred, unrecognizable,
at the same time shrunken and tumescent."
That's sad
I find it fascinating
It talks about harsh things
It isn't easy to find books like this
As if the world we live in weren't grey enough
Well the one you're reading
isn't an “ode to joy” either
Don't spoil it for me eh!
I told my parents last night
No!
Why you did that?
Thanks a lot for your support
I didn't mean that but you know
what your parents are like
How did they take it?
I thought that when it came down to it,
it would be different
So not well
They want me to leave home
What? How can they be such morons?
Don't talk about my parents like that
Are you really defending them?
They are not perfect but
they are the only ones I have
Your father doesn't surprise me,
but your mother…
My mother has been married
to my dad for 25 years
I have never seen her go against him
But this time is different
You are their son!
Aren't you?
She didn't want any of this to happen
She spent the whole night crying
word That's all well and good
But she didn't say anything
25 years is a long time being set in your ways
Maybe if you talk with her alone
I don't want them fighting over this,
It's better to leave it as it is
Where will I go now?
What about your aunt's?
My parents told her,
she doesn't want to get involved
So she's washing her hands of you?
You're being mean
I'm being mean?
Your family is rejecting you for loving a man,
and I am the one who's being mean?
Let it go
How can I?
What are you going to do now?
I don't know
I'm sorry
Come and live with me
With your mom and grandma? Are you crazy?
No dafty
I have something to tell you too
I got the job in the bank I told you about
Now I can rent an apartment
I guess I can crash at yours until I find a job
No, you have to finish your studies first
And who is going to pay my expenses? You?
You don't get it do you?
I don't want you to crash at mine a few days
while you search for something else
I want you to come and live with me
The apartment can be ours
In a few months you will be finished your
studies and then you can find a job too
And will we stop seeing other guys?
What for?
To be like straight people?
What's the matter?
We are not like them
We can't make the same mistakes
I don't want to be with anybody else
Me neither
But what if we do in the future?
We can wait until they figure out
what this new disease is
And decide after that Ok?
Well
I guess it worth a try
Since we are going to live together
In the past 3 years we haven't spent
more than a couple of nights together
So?
Are you sure about taking this step?
Your family has taken it for us
You don't owe me anything,
I don't know if you know that
What do you mean?
You're always cleaning and
tidying up like the maid
So pick up your stuff
I will, you don't have to do it
Well I have to do something
Since I don't work
I don't work either
You haven't been out of work long
And it won't be long before
you find something else
You can't know that
Well, let's see how we get by
When did we turn into this?
When did we turn into what?
Into your parents
You haven't mentioned them for a long time
They popped into my head right now
With Gabriel detergents your clothes…
What were you thinking about,
while you were reading?
Do I have to tell you everything
I think about?
Maybe if you did, we wouldn't be so like them
Breaking news, We are receiving from East Germany
the images of a series of full-scale demonstrations…
We have to do something
Like what?
Anything
We need a change
And what comes to mind?
No idea
Just ignore me
Come on, talk to me
It doesn't matter
Since you are at home you turn everything around
And you're driving me crazy
Then we need to do something
But something like what?
Like what?
I don't know
¡Gorby! ¡Gorby!
Whatever you say
Are you better?
What was wrong with me??
Forget it
Sorry
I should not have mentioned your parents
It doesn't matter
It does
Your father's passing is still recent
I don't care
You should, he was your father
Yes, and you know how we treated us
I know
Is that what you were thinking about before?
You can be so annoying when you want to be
You think too much about the past lately
How would you know what I think about?
Because we've been together for 11 years Roberto
It's lasting too long for you I see
Don't start it again please!
Do you have to go to bed so soon?
I can't be bothered to do anything after that
Let me cheer you up
You always fix everything with sex
It's not true
We can go out
On Monday?
Nobody goes out on Mondays
Come on, we can clear our heads
We can dance a bit
What we should do is talk
We never do anything but talk
You never want to talk
Come on
Cheer up
Get dressed
Let's go
A bit of dancing
A few drinks
What do you say?
But just for a while
As long as you like
One drink and back home
Ok
You're such a troublemaker
And you love that
Sure
Come on, let's go
I love you
Me too
Sorry about yesterday
You always do the same
You're right
And don't say that just to shut me up
I'm not
You're absolutely right
I'm an asshole
You're right
Do you want to talk?
Now do you want to talk?
You are always saying that we don't talk enough
Yes, in fact we only talk about when you want to
Well today I don't want to
What's more, you always do the same, everytime
You don't care about me, I don't know if you're with
me out of routine, because you feel sorry for me…
Don't say that
I'm with you beacuase I love you
I can't tell when you're lying to me
or when you're telling the truth
I don't lie to you, it's true
So why do you do those things?
I don't know
Yesterday was a pretty weird day
And when we hit the bar I drank too fast
You drink like that because you
don't tell me what's going on in your head
We don't have to talk about eveything either
You see! We only talk when you want to,
and about what you want
Don't be like that
Only if it interests you
I'm sorry
Also
If affects you this way
I really think that we should talk about it
Maybe you're right
Can't you see? In the end I'm comforting you,
I don't know how you do it
That's because you're better than me
And don't suck up now
I'm not, it's true
Leave me alone
Diana was well pissed yesterday
Do you remember when we feel off the bar?
What's incredible it's that in your
condition you can remember it too
Doesn't matter which day we go out
We always bump into her
You would make a great couple
Come on, don't be like that
You know that if it wasn't for you,
God alone knows where I would be
Don't be daft
I'm not, you know that
Stop exaggerating
You're the most important thing in my life
Who would have thought it!
I don't show it enough
but I'm going to change
I can't get angry with you
What a pathetic kiss
You don't deserve more than that
Let me sleep a little more
And if you make that noise again
with the blind I'll kill you
You're awake
Did I sleep long?
A couple of hours
I love the shape of your back right here
What else?
And the beginning of your ass
In this curve
Sure, especially the beginning
Idiot
Do you like that too?
That's what I like the most
And you? What do you like about me?
This thing right here isn't at all bad
And seems a bit happy
And what else?
The shape of your collar bone, right here
And anything else?
The fact that you never left me
Where I would want to go?
There were times that anywhere
would have been better than here
And I caused most of those times
I also like it when you lie to me
to make me feel better
I made you a promise
That was a long time ago
Nobody is going to force you to keep it
But I want to keep it
Do you remember the referendum day?
What are you talking about?
The constitutional referendum
Why have you remembered that now?
Because you were smoking in a similar way
That's not true, that day
I was practically chain smoking
It's true, you were a nervous wreck
Of course I was
The two of us stranded
in the middle of the Mount Pindo
The 205 wouldn't start
On the day that we could vote for the end of 40 years
of hiding, prosecution, insults in the streets…
You're so idealistic!
It's been 11 years since then, and they still
look badly at us if we hold hands in public
And you still hear some insults too
Yes, but things have improved a lot
What has improved? Is your life better?
Their lives are better!
We are still shut away in dark pubs
Deceiving the landlord and
renting a two bedroom flat
What the hell do we need another bedroom for?
At least they can't put us in jail
Your beloved referendum was already
approved when I was jailed the last time
No way!
No? It was in January of 79
So late? I didn't remember that
I remember! Your aunt's cousin,
the military policeman
He must have thought that locking me away for three
days in that cell would cure me of my gayness
And that you would find a good
wife and have tonnes of kids
It didn't go as he planned
It certainly didn't
But you have to admit that the
constitution is the base of everything
Base of what?
The base of nothing
We were persecuted several
years after Franco's death
And we have a head of state appointed by him
I love it when you get on your soap box
Like when you dragged me to the rallies
Well, communism is not doing much better
At least there, the women
can have an abortion freely
Because they don't have enough
food to feed so many children
Why do you think they are climbing the wall?
I'm guessing that that wall
will not stand for too long
Promise to take me there when it falls?
I don't know what with
But if one day we do have some
I promise I will
How long we had been dating
at the time of the referendum?
8 months wasn't it?
That long?
We started in March and the referendum
was held in November or December I think
We started in summer, in March was when we met
And I count from then
Since when?
Since the very beginning
We were inseparable from the first day
How cares when we named it
Do you remember that night?
Loli introduced us
Oh Loli…
It was a pity
Was she using heroine at that time?
No idea, I don't think so
At least she got us together
She give us a good gift
Even then, you were doing your
tricks from the very beginning
What do you mean?
Our first date was perfect
I'm going to get some napkins
What's up Loli? Get me a drink
What are you doing here so early!
How welcoming! If you want me to leave…
Don't be silly, it's just that I set your date
with Miguel in an hour's time
Yes, I know
I want to see what the atmosphere is like first
Why did you tell us to come so late?
It's not that late! Quite normal if you ask me…
If you say so
By the way
Who is performing today?
… it's Miguel
Miguel who?
Your date
What?
What's wrong?
Nothing, Now I know why you
told us to come so late
Listen I had better go, don't tell him I came
Don't be silly!
Don't be like that?
Listen Loli, I don't like that thing
What thing? Miguel is an amazing guy
Look, come back in an hour and meet him
I'm sure you will adore him
I'm not promising anything
Loli give me a drink please
What's up with you?
You did great! It was only your second show!
Nothing's up
Not much…
At what time did do you say you
set up the meeting with that guy?
He must be about to arrive
Sure
Drink it
He is not coming
Don't freak out, it's only been 40 minutes
Look! There he is is!
Sorry! Am I a bit late
At last! This is Miguel
A bit late
I'm sorry
I lost track of the time
I didn't think you would come
A good friend of mine insisted
that I should come and meet you
She can be really insistent
She is quite right too
Sorry!
Don't worry
Do you want to dance?
What are you thinking about?
Nothing, nonsense
That isn't new
You reminded me of our first date
It was quite a few years ago
And what were you thinking?
Nothing in particular
We don't remember things in the same way
What do you mean?
It was not as perfect as you say,
you were a bit late
It was a weird day
And that's it?
Is that what gives you so much to think about?
Yes and no
Don't you want to tell me?
Or did you arrive early, I don't remember now
What are you talking about?
Never mind
Don't you want to tell me what you were thinking?
I was just thinking, about time, about how it passes
And how late for one person
might be soon for another person
You're worrying me
Don't, it's nothing
Don't tell me then
Are you coming back to bed?
Have you seen that David Bowie
has released a new album?
Really? I haven't heard about it
The thing is that he has not
released it as David Bowie
With what name then? Ana Kiro?
No, he has formed a group, Tin Machine
That's strange
It's a bit weird
What?
That someone so famous would hide his name
in a group at this stage in his career
Maybe was precisely that what he want,
Escape from his name
His last albums were pretty terrible
A bit drastic don't you think?
Who knows
This may be a new beginning for him and he will
make some wonderful albums the next decade
You haven't even heard the last one yet
It's not necessary
We just have to trust Bowie
If not, what's left?
Fuck off
What are you doing?
Touching you
You're going to start thinking I like you and all
A bit more than the last few Bowie albums at least
Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd
Harpier cries 'Tis time, 'tis time
Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined
What a rubbish adaptation
I don't know why they insist on doing
endless versions of Shakespeare
They shouldn't mess with the dead
We interrupt the broadcast of Macbeth to give way to a
special news bulletin coming to us from East Germany where…
I have had enough of newsletters about Germany
Nothing is going to change anyway!
You always think nothing is ever going to change
What do you mean?
That suddenly one day
Things will change and catch you by surprise
Where's this coming from all of a sudden?
It's nothing
No it's not
About Germany, what else?
Forget your problems with the new...
Can you turn it off? I'm drawing
The news is about to start
I don't care
Wasn't it you that was so interested
in what's happening in Germany?
We open with the lastest news in the
Democratic Republic of Germany
Where nine members of the government have
notified of their resignation this afternoon
If the wall comes down now
We don't have the money to go there
It won't come to that yet
It seems like they're cleaning their
reputation to stay in power
Yes, it does look like that
Pervert
Do you want me to freeze death?
You are very creative these days
Why do you say that?
You draw me
Now you're taking photos of me
Can I not like my boyfriend's body?
Yes, my arse in particular, it would appear…
Everything revolves around your arse
So funny…
And you? What's up with you today?
What do you mean?
You don't complain about me waking you up
Or about me undressing you
When have I ever had a problem
with you undressing me?
Don't you see how happy you are?
I like the way you look at me when I am your muse
And what is that “look “ like?
As if you were going to eat me
“At your service”
I'm going to talk to Bernardo
What did you say?
That I'm going to talk to Bernardo!
I'm thinking of organizing another exhibition
Is the material you've been working on that good?
I think so
Go for it then
But don't go over the top like the last time
What do you mean?
That we are penniless
That's exactly why!
With the exhibition we could make some money
Sure, like the last time…
Thanks for your vote of confidence
I'm just saying that we can't afford to waste money
If it was up to you, we wouldn't have
done the other one either
Rober...
What?
Nobody buys pictures of naked men
Well, You know what?
maybe I should change the model!
Do what you want
Well, I think I will!
I'm home
I got the bread…
You back already?
Yes
Did you go and see “la Bernarda” in the end?
Yes..I did
And?
Bah, What does he know…
Not great then…
That miser wanted me to pay all the expenses
Tell me you didn't say yes
We couldn't afford to, even if we wanted to
I offered him 70%
That's way too much!
I know!
It doesn't matter anyway, he didn't accept
Apparently, it's not a good time, the market is slow
Male nudes are hard to sell
Same old story
And what are you doing?
Nothing
That's no use
I know, but I worry
Our savings are running out
We will figure out something
Well, we have to do it before our dole money stops
I know…
And
Is that all you were thinking about?
Tell me
It's everything, you know that…
You worry too much
I don't know
I'm so scared of my own destiny
There's no destiny as such
Only the one we make
It would be nice to believe that
Then believe it
I don't know if I can
Of course, he is at work
I know
Sure, goodbye
Goodbye mother
Did you just say “goodbye mother”?
Yes it was her
What she want?
Nothing, bother me about the funeral costs
and God alone knows what, about the inheritance
What a cheek!
No, actually she didn't ask for anything
I think she just wanted to talk
Talk?
Your mother?
She must be feeling a bit lonely
If she's calling you, she must be
What?
When was the last time she called you to “talk”?
Did you know that she still
refers to you as my “friend”?
And you only talked about that?
If you and I are just friends, do you think
we'd be talking about anything else?
That's true
Maybe I should go and see her for a few days
No, love
A couple of nights maybe
You know how it turned out the last time you went
The situation was very different
You don't say…
I know I screwed up the last time,
but you don't know how hard it was
And I ended up hurting you when it wasn't your fault, but I think it's
going to be different this time, besides my father is gone now
Do as you will
I wouldn't go
When was the last time this worked?
What?
Don't you see that it's going to the same as always?
But the last time…
Don't even think about talking about the last time
But…
Just leave it!
Ok?
Tell me!
Leave me alone!
Don't treat me like an idiot,
look at me when I'm talking to you!
What?!
Say it!
You're right! I slept with him, okay?
Okay? Moron!
You make me feel sick!
It's all your fault!
My fault?!
You don't know what they're like!
They started with the same old story, that they
didn't want to have a son like that and all that shit
And you left me alone for two days with them
And you wanted to piss them off right?
It doesn't matter if you screwed me as well!
Leave me alone!
I told you to leave me alone!
Listen to me Miguel…
You have put up with a lot of my shit
I told you I did not want to talk about that
But it is clear that you never forgave me
That's not true
It was three years ago, if I hadn't
forgiven you I wouldn't be here now
But you're still hurting
A bit, yes!
That means that you haven't forgiven me entirely
No
That's because I can't forget it
I couldn't even if I wanted to
And I don't know if I really want to
If it hurts, it's because I still love you
You don't deserve what I did to you
And you don't deserve the way I treat you…
Is it possible to leave all of this behind us?
It would be so easy if we could
go back to the beginning
It would be
But time only moves forward
I don't know
Maybe...
We should break up
No
No, we have always been together
I wouldn't know what to do
But we've been through so much
But that should make us stronger!
We have to find a way to make us stronger
Not weaker
And… Do you think we can?
We've been through more difficult tests
Yes, but we were younger
I don't think I'm going to go…
To see your mother?
Yes
It's for the best
You're right
It's going to do more harm than good
I never understood your family
I can understand that was difficult for them to accept you,
but after all these years that nothing's changed
I don't get it
Not everyone is lucky enough
to have a mother like yours
I know
Sometimes I think about how things
would have been, if my father was alive
But he was left wing, wasn't he?
Yes
He was left wing
But he was born in 1938
At least it seems that the people are becoming
more openminded from one generation to another
A bit too slowly in my opinion
Maybe by 2020 they won't look at us
as if we were freaks anymore
Yeah
And families will accept their “queer” sons and drive
around happily all together in their flying cars
They will never accept us
Don't be so pessimistic!
Look to other countries
Like Denmark
They have just passed a new civil unions law
Denmark isn't another country,
it's on a different planet
Light years from us
Well, maybe we should go in those
flying cars you were talking about
And why didn't you go to vote?
Bloody hell!
It's been almost two weeks since the election!
And?
I didn't like either of them!
I wasn't going to vote for Felipe again, that's for sure
Well, you could have voted for
the lesser of two evils...at least
Sure
You could have at least voted for
the “Nationalist Block” like I said
Come on, even Ruiz Mateos
had more votes than them
And he got hammered in the last ones
With that attitude we will never get representation
It's not a question of attitude, Galicia isn't
nationalist, hardly anybody is here
I bet you anything you like, that one of these
days we will get into the Regional government
Sure, keep on dreaming
Do me a favour, turn on the TV
I'm sure that the news is already on
And on to other things, the new leader of the GDR, Egon Krenz,
convened a meeting of the central committee
To work on a decree law on the opening
of the country's borders
You could see this coming, they are capable of emptying
the country just as long as they don't have to leave
They will never go
Forget about our holidays
The Wall is going to be there for some time
Where have you been?
I went out for a while to run some errands
Why didn't you tell me?
It's no big deal
Yes, it is!
What's in that envelope?
Just some paperwork
Where did you go? To see the doctor?
What's up? The only things I have
to manage are about doctors?
Is that all I'm good for?
Don't be a drama queen!
You know that you can't just take off like that
Take off? If I only went out for a moment!
You know you can't, regardless
Who's making me? You?
Am I locked in?
What are you doing?
Where do you think I have been?
If you don't want to tell me, how the hell should I know?
You're paranoid!
What I am, is worried! What did the doctor say to you?
Here we go again! I haven't been to the doctor's!
Is that all that I am to you? A sick person
you won't leave because you pity me?
Let me tell you that you are not
my nurse or my guard!
Jesus! Sometimes it's like you want me to leave…
And that's what you're going to get
Maybe you should, it's not going
to be a pretty spectacle
I've already heard that before
What did the doctor say to you?
Leave me alone!
I don't love you!
Screw you Miguel!
I should have left you to rot alone!
Forgive me
What's wrong?
I'm scum, I don't deserve you
You're scaring me, what do the blood tests say?
It's not just the blood test
What do you mean?
I should have told you
You can tell me now
I'm positive
What!?
I'm so sorry Roberto, I'm an asshole
And now you have to be tested too
But how did this happen?
I don't deserve you
Who with?
I'm a piece of shit
Tell me who it was!?
And now I put you in danger
Shit. ..shit ..shit ..shit!!
You can't go through life like this!
How could you do this to me again?
Again?!
Who do you think you are?
Calm down a bit.. ok?
How can I calm down?
I put us both in danger
And now you are going to leave me
And I deserve it
I didn't say I was going anywhere
You will
I'm not denying how angry I am right now
But we have been through so many things
together and we will get through this too
it's not going to be a pretty spectacle
Hey… don't give up yet
We will fight this
Why won't you go?
Why won't you go?
Sorry
Where would I want to go?
Miguel, I can't stand it anymore
Don't say that
It's all just too difficult
We can get through this
I asked for your support yesterday
and I'm asking you again now
I know… but I can't
You're asking too much of me,
and whatever I do...
Just never seems enough
Before, we managed to make things work
Before it was different
Is it my fault, for being sick?
Don't say that!
So?
You've changed Miguel
That disease changed you and I've changed too
I've done all that I could
I don't want to give up
And you mustn't!
I'm going to stay by your side
But not like this
You don't love me anymore
I will always love you
But 11 years is too long
Especially the last one
Especially the last ones
The boy I fell in love of is too far away
You haven't changed
You now that's not true
I should go and stay at my cousin's house
Not tonight, no
If I don't go now, I don't think I will ever be able to do it
I'm going to stay by your side
But not like this
Promise me
I don't have to promise anything
I already did that a long time ago
Are you sure you don't want to spend the night?
I can't
Don't forget to take your meds
Do you hear me?
My body is fighting for time
that doesn't belong to it…
Do you remember when were younger and we
played at holding our breath under water?
My life has become “let's see how long
you can keep breathing above water…”
I can't
Please
Please
Stop
You're right, sorry
I'm going to turn on the TV
I don't want to see you go
These are the shocking images what
are we receiving at this very moment
From East Berlín where after the
press conference this afternoon
Roberto
Don't insist, don't make it more difficult
No, on the TV
And now… yes? We are receiving right now
the images that we are watching on the screen
Dozens of people climbing the wall
Are you seeing the same as I am? This
seems to be the end of East Germany
It seems that the Berlin wall has just fallen
