The Best Summer of My Life (2018) - full transcript

My dad's the best.

When I was born, he decided
to take a business degree.

You'll be proud of me, Nico.

You'll go around telling everyone
that Curro Montejo is your father.

And he graduated in only ten years,

in a prestigious
distance learn in university,

the Matapedrete University.

After that, he made
his biggest wish come true,

to work for a big finance company.

- What are you doing?
- What's the problem?

OK, OK!



But in truth...

my dad never liked that environment.

- Come on, feet up!
- Excuse me.

So you don't slip,
it's an insurance thing!

He found it cold and distant.

And worst of all,
he didn't feel valued.

Someday, he made a big decision,
much to Mom's surprise.

Hey, Antonio!

- We all have to strike together.
- Daniela!

We'll talk later.
Curro! Hi, baby!

I did it! I finally grabbed
the bull by the horns

and offered to be
staff representative.

Really?

The factory has a new owner
and guess what he wants to do?



- Ow!
- Sorry.

He wants to cut staff.

Good thing you've got a stable job.

- I have some thing to tell you.
- What?

- I did it! I quit!
- Quit what?

- My stable job. What else?
- You quit your stable job?

Encouraged by Mom,
Dad went in search of his dream job.

I laminated mine. It's like a menu,
too much handling make sit grubby.

Although it wasn't easy at first.

To develop our apps,

we work with Facebook,
Instagram, Linkedln...

I don't have a problem
working with anyone,

But"Miguelin"and "Felixbox"...

Do they speak Spanish?
My English isn't that tres bien.

Yeah, so I see...

Curro, shall we get started?

Shouldn't we wait
for your boss, kid?

I am the boss.

- You seem lovely!
- Don't I just!

- Is anyone else coming?
- No.

- Should I come closer?
- No.

Is this the town crier interview?

What do you value
about oriental companies?

Your diligence.
Look at this for example.

- Sugared almond or kitty litter?
- Kitty?

And that geranium's fantastic.

In a year, you'll have shade
for the whole office.

Finally, my dad got lucky
and a German company took hi Mon.

- Welcome to Cookfrei.
- Thank you.

He was quick to show off his talents.

Just pop the flour in and
after 12 minutes, fantastic bechamel.

So he started doing
what he loved most,

working with people.
He had loads of customers.

One for aunty Mary.

Another one for
my favorite niece, Marta.

And one for my
brother-in-law, the champ!

Cousin Alfonso, only one?
What gives?

- Don't you ea tat the beach house?
- OK, so two.

And for the in-law sat Christmas, what?
A cervical cushion?

Dad was so good at his job,
he decided it was time to move.

Look at the size of it.
Think how much "fentui" we can do!

We'll take it.

And to enjoy a few luxuries.

"Fentui"?

Honey, no more house work.
We have robots for everything!

We can't move for all the technology!

We've got Smart TV
with Dolby Surround Sound,

a self-cleaning oven,
a new food processor,

a massage chair,
an Irish coffee machine,

an arcade game for Nico,
we've got...

Have we got three kilowatts?

We came up a bit short there.

Thanks to his business sense
he always knew what was be trustful.

Always with great common sense.

Honey, don't you think
we're spending too much?

You're right. Nico, it's irresponsible
spending money left and right,

- especially on credit.
- Of course.

Unless interest rates are this low.
Only an idiot wouldn't get credit.

Thank you.

But like he always said,
sometimes there are slumps.

Your sales have gone down 90%.

- Have you run out of ambition?
- I've run out of relatives.

Sales shouldn't stop there.

Luckily, my dad always found
a solution to his problems.

Good afternoon.

- Hello.
- We're from Capital Credit,

You have two months left to...

- Sorry, we're all Catholics here.
- Sir!

But the slump lasted
Longer than he imagined.

What's going on?
They're taking everything!

- Even my slippers!
- They were mink.

- You deserve the best.
- I deserve to be listened to,

and I told you not
to take out so much credit.

Don't worry, I have a plan.

Abridge loan to tide us over!

I'd like to throw you off abridge!

I can't take it anymore.
I'm leaving.

What do you mean?
Listen tome, please!

So that Dad could get over the slump,

Mum and I went
to grandma and grandpa's.

I got the sheets.

How long are we going
to stay here for?

I don't know, Nico.

Come on, make your bed up.

And careful where
you put your weight,

if it closes, it'll snap your neck.

See?

Mean while, my dad carried on
with his important business.

- Hi, Nico.
- Dad, where are you?

About to have a business lunch.
An entrepreneur never rests.

- Really?
- Valet! Park my car! And don't scratch it.

- You coming to my game on Friday?
- Wouldn't miss it!

- Awesome!
- The Sommelier's here. Talk later, OK?

What's on the menu today, Sister?
Roasted sea bream?

But luckily, everything
was about to change.

When are we going to make up?
I'm lost without you.

Like a compass with no north,
a car with no GPS...

OK, I get the picture, Curro.

Suddenly your value shave changed.

What values?
I never had any.

That's my boy!
What a goal!

- It was an own goal!
- You're always so demanding.

- The score changed, so it was a goal.
- OK.

If we we real good at football, winning
the golden boot wouldn't be exciting.

Did you tell your dad about your exam?

I got a six point five.

You're hard working like me,
and hard work always pays off.

I'm going over there.

Good job, good job!

You little whizz!

And the day was least expecting it,
in spite of all his work,

Dad revealed his big surprise.

- Nico.
- What?

If you get As all year, I promise you
the best vacation of your life!

- Seriously?
- Of course.

Liar.

- Yes.
- No.

- Dad! I know you!
- I'm not lying!

- OK, Dad.
- That's what like to hear..

Give me your bag.
Go with your friends.

What were you thinking
making a promise you can't keep?

For a union member you don't know
much about incentives.

- Me?
- Nico always gets Cs.

This way I'll stimulate his productivity
and he'll pass with Bs.

- With Bs?
- Incentives, babe, incentives.

Incentives!

I'll give you an incentive alright!

My dad may not be the best looking,
the youngest or the smartest,

but one thing he's got is that
he always keeps his promises.

THE BEST SUMMER OF MY LIFE

THREE MONTHS LATER

Your attention for a moment, please.

I want to talk about something
this company badly needs.

- Bonuses?
- No, Montejo, no.

Motivation.

So this summer, I've decided
to hold a competition.

Who ever sells the most, will become
the new regional sales manager.

And the three who sell the least
will be fired.

- What?
- The winner will be come sales manager.

And the bottom three fired.

Remember the three letters
that make up a good salesman:

C for customer service,
S for spontaneity and P,

for product pride.

Remember, you're not sales people,
you're sales animals!

I'm all emotional again.

So move it! Get selling!

I'm going to miss you, Montejo.

You've got such bad sales...

You said that last year
and I be a ted you.

"Alea jacta est".

If you want to insult me,
don't do it in Arabic.

- It mean studied is cast.
- Yeah, I know.

- "Ally-hacker test".
- Animals! Get selling!

Jeez!

LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOL

Teresa Toribio...
Spoil little brat.

Erika Herreras...
I hope you repeat the year.

- Nicolas Montejo?
- Thanks.

Congratulations, kid.

Marc Calvo?

Sorry, Ma'am.

Are these my kid's?
Nicolas Montejo, brown hair, handsome.

I know who your son is.
These are his grades.

Please, you're in the way and I cant
leave on vacation until I finish.

- Vacation? Lucky you!
- Yes.

With my husband.

Though I'd rather lock myself away
for three months with no kids!

Marc Calvo.

Excuse me!

- You again?
- Sorry, it's just...

I'm not saying my kid's not smart,
but all As? He's not Einstein.

- Can you take another look?
- There's no need, Mr. Montejo.

- Mickey...
- Nico.

Yes, sorry.
His exams were perfect.

How could they be after everything?

- The logical outcome is total failure.
- That's not true.

Some kids flourish
during family crises.

Moving house, foreclosures,
a separation,

this isn't a crisis,
it's a catastrophe!

A catastrophe!

I see where Nico
gets his passion for hyperbole.

My son's going to think he's cold,
lacking in human empathy.

Can you imagine the damage this
could do to a half-developed brain?

What?

Can't you just
lower his average a bit?

- Give him a Bin gym, for example.
- Gym?

He walks funny, one foot points
the other way, it's a dysfunction.

Please!

You know what?

I think you've also
learn a valuable lesson.

What?

Not to make promises you can't keep.

Look...

If you can't take him on holiday
because of money trouble,

just explain.
He'll understand.

- He got an A in religion.
- So I saw.

Forgiveness is guaranteed.
Happy summer!

For you maybe.

Jimenez Textiles
is a prestigious brand

- thanks to us, the workers.
- That's great. Thanks.

Not the owners, who want to sell
our factory to a Filipino company.

They want to relocate outside Spain.

So we can see.
The drama of relocation...

Not for sale, not for sale!

- Daniela.
- Hi, Curro.

Look at this,
the kid got straight As.

Oh my God! Straight As!

My Nico! He's so smart!

- Now what are you going to do?
- Keep my promise, of course!

Don't be stupid!

- Even if I have to sell an organ!
- An organ?

But not my liver. A holiday
with no booze isn't a holiday!

Look, my brother's going to Morocco.
He can go with them.

No. I promised him a holiday
and that's what he'll get.

Show a bit of optimism, woman!

- I really don't see what you can do.
- What I've done all my life!

- Take out a loan?
- No, find away!

Please! You're bankrupt!

I'll think of something.
Trust me.

How? Even your car's
been repossessed!

I have a solution for that.

- Remember my friend Paco?
- The one in jail?

Yes! He lent me his.
Two years and one day.

And that car's a collector's item.
Pure vintage!

That's my dad! That's my dad!

- Weren't you going to rent a 4x4?
- No son, no.

This is a "2x2", look! Well, except
for the mats, which are 1x1.

- And that?
- A sales man never rests!

- Got the passports?
- Don't worry. It's all under control.

Say goodbye.

Take care, OK?
And take care of him too.

Call me every night.

I love you lots...

- How's it hanging, "Dad"?
- I'd sure like to hang you.

Drive carefully, it's raining.

- Be positive! It'll be sunny soon!
- Sunny?

Nico, remember what taught you?
- Yes.

OK, so push and put it in to gear
when I say so.

- What?
- Come on! Push!

That's it!

Daniela, just think
how happy you'd be!

With them, you mean?

No, dear... A widow!

- Start the engine!
- That's it, jump in!

You have to be optimistic, son.
Bright and sunny, just like I said.

Dad, the gas station is over there.

The gas station is for those
who haven't paid for their gas yet.

What's he doing?

- Dad, are you stealing it?
- No, son. I'm taking what's already mine.

This is a top-of-the-range Mercedes.
It's worth 65K.

The owner of this car
pays 35% in tax,

while I, with my modest
paycheck, pay 20%.

This applies to
everything, except gas.

This guy should be paying 15 % more.

So I'm taking the 15 % extra
I've already paid for.

Really it belongs tome, see?
Just ice and equality above all.

Thank you.
Have a safe trip.

- Can we put the radio on?
- Yeah, sure.

Use this.

- Put it in there.
- What is it?

This is called an amplifier.
Here we can only get Radio Maria.

- Where are we going?
- It's a surprise.

- Is it in Europe?
- Yes.

- Euro Disney?
- Cold.

- Another amusement park?
- Cold, cold.

- Just tell me!
- We're going to do some rural tourism!

Not that modern kind,
with rafting and "coaching".

- OK...
- This is a traditional vacation,

like in the good old days.

You'll make some new friends
and have a blast.

We're almost there.

Fuenteovejas?

- Are you kidding?
- No.

- This is a joke.
- No, really.

- Fuenteovejas?
- Of course!

The village where your dad was born.
Nature, fresh air.

- It smells of manure.
- Silence.

- Well, well!
- Aunty!

I'm her favorite nephew,
she loves me like her own.

- Look who it is!
- Aunty, you look great!

So do you.

- Who are you?
- Curro, Fran and Mari's son.

- We've come to visit.
- Wonderful!

- Where are you staying?
- Here with you!

Here?

Nico, give Aunty a kiss.

- Hello.
- Hello.

The last time I saw you
he wasn't even born.

- Does he eat a lot?
- Like a horse.

You don't say.

Come in, little one.

Nico, a real village house,
with its gloomy interior, damp,

and dust mites.

At 11, I turn down
the lights, to save electricity.

And environmentally sustainable!
The planet comes first!

You know where the bedroom is.

- Upstairs.
- Off you go.

- It's a bit scary.
- Listen!

- If you're hot,
- Yes?

Then sweat,
like in the good old days!

This room brings back memories.

Once, when I was ten,
a bat the size of a dog fie win.

I was so scared, I wet the bed.
Here, look!

- The map of Australia.
- Gross!

Aunty's very nostalgic.

But Dad, why did we have to come here?

Because you got straight As!

Let's call mom, tell her
how much fun we're having.

Call social services
while you're a tit.

- Is that Mom?
- I wish.

Calling to throw in the towel?

No. I'm calling to let you know
I just scored a hat-trick.

- Three sales at once.
- I'm about to place eight.

Place them on a shelf, you mean?
Eight! In your dreams!

I'm in my favorite hunting ground.
I'm in my element.

So you'd better decide if you
prefer to call me boss or Mr. Curro.

I've got a ton of relatives here,
my specialty.

Mr. Curro, ha!

- What about your nephew?
- He's bright.

- Yours or from a test tube?
- Aunty!

He's mine, not a test-tube baby!
100% Montejo.

How's Daniela?
Left you yet?

No, she couldn't make it.

- She's busy at work.
- So she's left you.

She hasn't left me!
She's on strike at her factory.

Oh, good Lord!

A union member, commie and
a divorcee, she's got it all.

Bon appetit.

Here you go, kid.

- Can I have some bread?
- Don't buy the stuff.

Too much "gutlen" in it.

Tuck in.

What better than a family meal?

And talking of family,

- how's Carmelita?
- Aunty Carmelita...

Died three years ago,
but otherwise OK.

She was very old.

And Uncle Jose Ignacio?

Dead for five years.
He's not so well.

- RIP.
- His spirit's still here with us.

Amen.

And Aunty Angustias?

Aunty Angustias? She's still alive,
but she emigrated to Canada.

And cousins Paula, Antonia
and Paquitaare still here?

- No.
- Another one that got away!

Is cousin Rafa still here?
Perfect.

- And what's Rafa's wife like?
- A floozy.

Aunty! Don't be so rude.
Does she like to cook?

Who are you, the police?

Just making conversation.
You must be lonely here.

- Not at all. I have my cat.
- Cat?

- Where is it?
- Look!

There he is.

Ricardo.

What?

- Are you full?
- No...

It's yummy!

- Are you ready to meet your new gang?
- Sure.

Wait until you see the local park.

It's got lots of swings,

slides, zip-lines,

cabins...
Great for hide-and-seek.

It's amazing.

They must have built
a better park some where.

Wouldn't be hard.

Look! Natives!

It's wonderful.
So much local knowledge in one place.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Which park do the kids play in?

- Or where do they play?
- Benito plays boules under the bell tower.

No, I meant the children.

- The what?
- The children, kids, youngsters.

Whippersnappers,
nippers, bambini.

Like you, but full of life.
Squeaky voices, trade football cards...

Like you when you were young.

- Afternoon.
- Hello.

- The town hall, please?
- You're looking a tit. I'm the mayor.

You don't get this close
to politician sin the city.

- I brought my son here on holiday.
- What an idiot!

That's great. Thanks!

At least here are two kids your age
in the village. Cousin Rafa's kids.

You're going to have
a blast with them.

Cousin Rafa was
the joker of the group.

Areal gas!

She said she couldn't stand living
in this god for sakes village anymore,

that she needed the excitement
of the big city. So she left.

- She went to Madrid?
- No, to Astorga.

And couldn't you
have gone with her?

She has a new boyfriend.

At least you have the kids.

They're with her.
I haven't seen them in a year.

A kiss for your cousin, Nico?

No?
OK, later then.

- So you're completely alone?
- I think that's obvious.

- No need to rub it in.
- No, I'm here to help.

But you have to do your bit.
Just look at the state of you...

Those clothes...
You smell bad too.

You look like a tramp, Rafa.

You have to look after yourself
and diet is essential to that.

We are what we eat.

Have you heard of Thermocook?

It's the only thing Julia left.

Well, look on the bright side.
She must have felt something for you.

- Her boyfriend's a chef.
- I'm sorry, cuz!

Watch it!

- You're hurting me.
- Sorry.

I miss her so much.

The suction pads keep it
real steady while you're cooking.

Well, looks like kids
give this place a wide berth.

But we're going to have a good time.

Look! The best
video game ever made!

A game of skill and strategy.

Let me hook it up!

That's it.

I'm going to kick your ass!

And I haven't played in ages.

How sweet! The father,
the son and the holy ghost.

What are you doing?
Turn it off! Turn it off!

You know how much power
that uses? 1 kW a minute!

An ampere an hour.

You'll blow the fuses!

You're so wasteful!

- But...
- We have to save.

One day you have it all
and the next, nothing.

Good grief!

Idiots!

Great holiday!

Mom, I can't take it anymore!
I'm surrounded by old people!

My cheeks hurt from all the pinching!

I spoke to your uncle. He invited you
to go to Morocco with your cousins.

- Tell him...
- Who?

Your father. To take you to
the port in Algeciras, at five.

OK, thanks Mom.

Love you.

I miss you. Bye.

Nico, Aunty's made dinner.

The steak's so thin,
it cook sin no time.

What are you doing?

Talking to Mom.

She says I can go
on holiday with my uncle.

So you'd rather go away
with your uncle than your father?

- What?
- You heard!

You promised me
the best holiday ever!

You lied!

I studied so hard.
And this holiday...

is fucking bullshit!

Nico!

Comeback here!

Did you just swear?

Thank God! I was worried. You never
swear and then you get straight As.

I thought you were

in need of the rap!
But you swore! Give me a hug!

You're normal!

Plus, you're right.

You're not a country boy, but it's
a shame, the village fair's soon.

You'd have won all
the races, I'm sure.

I'll take you to your uncle.

You deserve a good holiday.

- It's like a sauna in here.
- I can't breathe!

Hang on, let me get some thing.

Here we go.

These things use
a lot of electricity.

Chernobyl exploded
thanks to one of these.

But it's just for one night.

The light...
Turn off the light.

OK, time to catch that ferry.

Hang on, don't rush off!

I made you some
sandwiches for the journey.

Thanks, Aunty.

- You shouldn't have.
- I am generous, I know.

It's just bread.

The healthiest kind!
Pure gluten.

You're always moaning
everything has palm oil in it.

We're in the palm of your hand!

OK, let's go, Nico.

Thanks again. See you!

See you soon!
And if not, no problem!

Those sons of b...!

- Hello?
- Good afternoon.

This is Capital Credit.
Francisco Montejo?

Yes.
It's Capital Credit.

- Yes?
- Hello, Mr. Montejo.

The thing is, you've missed
another loan payment.

Mariana! You're going to scare
the boy with that funny voice!

- I'm sorry?
- She's always joking around.

Mr. Montejo, this isn't a joke.

We're going to have to blacklist you.

Oh Mariana, you are funny!

I can't talk now, I'm driving

and I don't want to set
a bad example. Talk later.

- Mr. Montejo?
- Hang up.

Are you OK, Dad?

Mariana's a security guard
and she's always bored.

- What are you going to do, Dad?
- Whom?

Visit some of the
villages around here.

I've heard there's
a beautiful ravine.

You're going to have a great time.
I'm sure of it.

Look! Your uncle.

Listen, I want you
to be have yourself, OK?

- Dome proud.
- Come on, Nico!

- Dad, I'll stay here if you like.
- If you buy anything

in the souk, remember
they like to hike up the prices.

Goon, off you go.

- Get him back safely.
- Don't you worry!

And turn of their wi-fi,
it's going to fry their brains.

This damn car...

Dad! You forgot to put it
in first gear!

- Didn't you get on the boat?
- And miss the best holiday ever?

Come on, jump in!

Start the engine!
Go, go!

Quick, get in!

Dad!

What I mom say when she finds out
you missed the boat?

You seemed so sad, Dad.

Don't worry. I'll tell her
it was my idea.

I don't want you fighting
because of me.

We never fight.
Never be cause of you.

We just have different
opinion son somethings.

Life, for example.

- Are you going to split up?
- No, of course not.

Your teacher was right
when she said you liked hyperbole.

It's just a time-out.

- Time out?
- Just a short break.

It's temporary.
Just a bit of distance.

I'd never divorce your mom.

She might divorce me, but your mom's
the most wonderful woman in the world.

And divorces cost a fortune.

- Does Mom want to be with you?
- Yes. She just doesn't know it yet.

I'll show her
we're better together.

- When?
- Soon.

- How soon?
- Very soon.

- Hurry up, Dad!
- These things take time.

No, hurry!
Here comes the owner!

Start the engine, I'll push!

Quickly, quickly!

Go, go!

Hey, asshole!

- What the...?
- Go, go!

I'm going to kick your ass!

Go, go!

Tell me that you love me.

Tell me that you love me.

Nobody understands the in justices
of the tax system.

They're very unsupportive.

- Where are we going, Dad?
- Somewhere...

Somewhere amazing, you'll see.

But first, a quick stop.
An entrepreneur ever rests,

even on holiday.

"THE STORK" RESORT

- Bungalows!
- Very nice bungalows.

They look really nice.

This is going to be good.

Hi, I'm a sales man with Cookfrei.
Do you know who the owner is?

Hello?

Do you hear me?

She picks up less
signal than a wooden antenna!

Look! Progress!

Where can I find the owner?

Great.
What's your name?

What's your name?

Laura.

Nico, stay with Laura
while I take care of business, OK?

Hi.

Zoe, sweetie, selective silence
is a temporary condition.

Laura will get over it.

Yeah? When?

She's been like this
for seven months, Alicia.

You have to be patient.

We've tried cognitive
behavioral theories, Gestalt,

- even hypnosis...
- Yeah, yeah.

We've tried everything,
but Laura's still not talking.

She doesn't communicate
or socialize.

She's sad...
Alicia, her behaviors very strange.

- Sorry, are you the owner?
- Just a second, please.

- I know...
- Alicia.

Laura told me I could find
the owner here. I'm hereon business.

What?

Did you say my daughter...

spoke to you?

If by spoke you mean she moved her lips
and sound came out... yes.

- Where is she?
- Over there with my son.

Good heavens!

This is amazing!

How old are you?

The mirrored neuron effect.
It old you so.

- No.
- Yes, I did tell you.

Who cares? It's working!

- It's a miracle!
- It's my job.

I don't believe it.

Yeah, two kids who've just met,

talking like old friends.
It's like an episode of X-Files!

Why won't you talk?

Are you being punished?

Are you sad?

You are sad.

Well, if you need
anything, I'm here

So, how did you
communicate with Laura?

Any tiny detail, as silly as
it may seem, could be important.

- You might not agree.
- But it is.

I didn't do anything special.

Come on, please.

She's been silent for seven months,

and you say you did nothing?

You must have done something,
a gesture, a word. Please, help us.

I just walked over
to her and asked her her name.

She didn't answer.
I asked again, louder:

"What's your name?"

She laughed.

What your daughter need sis a doctor
to get the wax out of her ear!

She must have a candle in there!

Mystery solved!

Now can I tell you
about this fantastic...?

- Zoe, come here.
- I'd like to talk with you.

Please don't go anywhere.

I've got nowhere else to go.

That man is primitive, simple,

basic, normal.

He affects conventional patients

in a way similar to primates.

He gets directly inside

- the temporal lobe, see?
- I see.

We have to get him
to interact more with Laura.

You have to get him to stay.
You can do it!

Yes, you can!
I can smell the book deal!

She's such a pain in the ass!

- Curro.
- Sorry, Curro.

Would you like to stay
here at the resort?

- We've already got plans.
- As my guests, of course.

- I'd have to cancel our fights,
zumba classes...

- All expense paid!
- Oh, goon then...

Nico, surprise!

- We staying here for our vacation!
- Cool!

The part about
all expenses paid was true?

- Of course.
- I told you, speedster!

- That way.
- Curro!

- Daniela, honey!
- Where are you?

In an Eco Resort,
it's all nature and health!

How many loans did you take now?

- All free. I got my values back!
- You got them back?

- Look, Nico, say hi to Mom.
- Hi, Mom!

People need places like this.

They need healing vacations.
We do all kind soft therapies here.

They garden, trim the bonsais...

And they do everything

whilst meditating.

- Silence. You hear that?
- No.

Exactly...

Look, look.

That's David, an executive
off work for depression.

- He was drowning in Prozac.
- A bath room trip works for me.

We even have therapy for that.

- Really?
- Yes. Some people

really benefit from
the Ayurvedic diet. Others fast.

So they come to look after vegetables
they won't eat and they don't complain

- because they can't talk?
- Yes.

- They pay for this?
- 700 a night.

- Hat's off to you!
- Thank you.

Namaste, dear flock.

- Usha! Namaste.
- Little lamb.

- Usha, this is Curro.
- Usher, hi.

- Usha.
- Oh, Usha.

Our yoga teacher and cook.

Interesting!
You like to experiment with food?

- Of course.
- I've got a machine that will...

Sorry.
No technology here.

Only natural and manual here.
Follow me.

Today we have quinoa, kamut

and tofu extract.

And these book marks?

- Can I have some bread?
- No bread.

- No...
- Gluten is deadly.

It's poison. To take care of yourself,
you have to cut out gluten.

And what else should I get rid of?

Not much. Gluten.

- Fried foods.
- Caffeine.

- Sugar.
- Cold meats.

- Drugs and alcohol.
- Red meat, seafood.

Don't make that face.
There's still plenty to eat.

I've lost the will!

There's spelt, quinoa,
kamut, seaweed.

- And lettuce! A classic.
- Lettuce...

That was for the rabbit sin my house.

Lettuce needs washing.

It's full of dirt and bugs fuc...

Doing the wild thing!

Look, forget all that business,

'cos cooking can be
summarized in one word, Thermocook.

Congratulations.
I'm going to yoga.

- Yoga! You coming?
- Sure.

Inhale.

Let's do the cobra.
Reston your ulnae.

Face down, Curro.

And... rise up.

- I'll do the lizard. I'm a be ginner.
- Not so flexible?

No, too many organs.
I'm full up.

Try to lift your shoulder sup a bit.

- What do I need my shoulders for?
- Backwards, Curro!

- Look, Usher.
- Usha.

I've got tile syndrome,
I'm easier to break than bend.

And I've got another.

Could you give me a massage?

Yes, well...
I'm rather busy.

I'm Zoe's guest!
A friend.

Goon, you can fit me in.

I'll just stay here
until you're done.

Ow, Usha!

Learn to breath, Curro.

I'm 52 years old.
I can't be that bad atit!

Yesterday I was telling you...

You need two food processors.

They'll.. shit!

Careful!
Damn Ayur-doctor!

- Turn over.
- And just think, you could

spend time in the garden

while this wonder machine
works in the kitchen.

Careful! I'm a bit
out of shape, Usha.

That's it.

Is this pleasure, or absence of pain?
But two of those food processors...

Sleep, little bison.

- Damn, Usha.
- Laura!

Laura, no.

Laura!

- No, no, Laura.
- Laurita, please!

- What's wrong?
- Laura's climbed that tree.

At least the tree didn't climb her.

We're working on
emotional grounding.

Every time we mention her father,
she climb sit

and spends all day up there.
She won't even come down for dinner.

It's exhausting!

Try asking her to come down?
Hey, come down!

No, please. That tree is her emotional
refuge, her nucleus, her life jacket.

Her life jacket.

- And we have to respect that.
- Laura.

What are you doing?
Let's go swimming.

Why not?

Then I'll have to come up.

Nico, you're a city boy!
And you're scared of heights.

The boundary. Don't enter
the nucleus! Don't go up there!

Oh my God.

No...

She needs her space, God damn it!

Damn kid!
I'm going to give him a...

It's so high up here!

- I'd help you down, if I knew how.
- Nico, get down, please!

How can I get down?

Don't look down?

But I'm going to fall
if I don't look.

I could've done it myself.

And what do you call that?

That... I knew
about that, of course.

Dr. Oklajander talks
about this very thing,

using the patient's innate empathy
as a way to form a bond.

And Dr. Montejo talks about
the wonders of not pressuring kids!

- Works every time.
- Montejo?

Of course...
Dr. Montejo.

You know, Laura's dad never
made her laugh. He was so serious.

But she adored him.

All the problems
started when he left us.

I didn't know.
May he rest in peace.

I don't know if he's at peace,
but he's surrounded by cows for sure.

- Cows?
- He left us...

To go to India. He sent us
a Whats App and never came back.

Out of the blue.

He must be busy in India,
with all the cows and tourists.

When he left, Laura started to be come
with drawn and stopped talking.

I don't know if to punish me
or if it's a trauma.

I just don't know.

Sorry. When I get going I...

I won't bore you anymore with this.

That's OK, we're here to listen.

You've no idea what it's like.

Did I mention the nightmares?

Talking of nightmares,
I should get some sleep.

They we're terrible!
We've tried meditation,

acupuncture, Bach flowers,

cutting out gluten and lactose.
Nothing worked.

Have you tried going back in time
and having Freud examine her?

You coming here is a gift.

It's been a turning point for Laura.

You need more reflection
and less talking.

But I said...

One thing leads to the other,
if you get my drift.

Meditate on that for a bit.

See you later.

- Usha.
- Welcome to... Oh, Curro!

- Wow! Night yoga.
- No, it's not exactly yoga,

but people will be here soon,
so if you don't mind...

I just need a second to show you
this wonder,

The Thermocook ZTX 3000.

It cooks, mixes,
kneads, grinds...

Why don't you tell me later?
I'm very busy now. Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?
- Yes.

- You sure?
- Yes.

- Is 11 OK?
- 11 is perfect.

- Or 11.30 if you want a lie-in.
- 11 is OK.

You spiritual folk like your sleep.

- OK, 11.30. See you tomorrow.
- Perfect.

- This calls for a drink!
- No!

This liquor of yours tastes amazing.

Curro!

He just downed a shot of Ayahuasca!

- What?
- Two.

- Delicious!
- No, no, no.

- What's wrong?
- Curro,

Ayahuasca is a very
powerful hallucinogen.

- Therapeutic. This isn't Ibiza!
- Oh my God!

How are you feeling, David?
Calmer?

- Yes.
- How's the anxiety?

- Faraway.
- Faraway, good.

We're liberating

the energetic blockages.

- Did that hurt?
- Yes.

Don't worry, it's normal.

- Should we call an ambulance?
- No, no ambulances. Let it flow.

Let it flow? Do you think
he's feeling it yet?

Just a moment.

Little bison, are you OK?

- He looks OK.
- What?

He's fine Zoe,
he's fine. Look.

He only took a little bit
and he's a big guy.

He had a big dinner,
I doubt he'll even feel it.

I can fly! I'm an eagle!
Where's National Geographic?

No, you can't.
Comedown.

- I can! I'm flying away!
- Comedown!

Get down now!

Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

OK, David. I'm going to
leave you alone for a moment.

- OK, David?
- OK.

Breath and channel.
Breath and channel.

Breath and channel.

I wasn't sure about
the Se needles at first,

but I think I'm starting to relax.

I feel calm.
Like a...

Hedgehog!

Dad, why do we have to leave?

A few days with these hippies
is enough. My head hurts.

- Laura invited me...
- I don't care.

Son, they drugged me.

But Laura invited me
to her grandma's house.

Just imagine the grandmother!
Energy, therapy, reiki, teas...

We'll end up hugging trees
and playing the tambourine.

No! We're leaving.

Zoe, Laura's in the last
stage of mourning her abandonment.

She just needs a little push.
She's one step away

from being cured.
You have to get them to stay.

- I tried talking to him, but...
- No buts, remember.

By saying but, you're
unconsciously resisting.

Alicia!

Trust yourself.
Where there's a will there's away!

I'm going to get fired.

Come on, son. It's going to be hard
to get the car started.

Curro, Curro!

Isn't there anything I can say
to convince you to come with us?

If I stay here any longer, I'll forget
what the word "income" means.

Please reconsider.

My mom has a beautiful
house with a pool.

She lives in a residential area
with lots of kids.

Nico and Laura
will have a great time.

And there'll be other families
with house sand kitchens, right?

- Yes, of course.
- Where did you say it was?

- I didn't. It's in Marbella.
- Marbella!

- Please, Dad!
- Please, please, please!

We've already got plans.

OK, just for a few days.

- Great!
- But only so I can meet your mom.

- Thank you.
- Laura.

But if we're going to stay a few days,

I'd like to make something clear.

- All expenses paid.
- That's important!

I want to discuss something else.

I love my wife very much.

We're going through a bad patch,
but we're going to work it out.

So if you feel an urge
or wild sexual attraction,

a connection, magnetism, heat,

you're going to have to repress it.

This space here between us,
we have to maintain it.

Marbella, how cool!

Laura, who do you want
to go to Marbella with you?

It's thanks to who you're much
better and starting to talk again?

Laura, who's been
here for seven months

working hard to help you
find your voice

under that emotional
shield of yours, honey?

Crazy girl!
The cat got her tongue again.

Have fun!

See? You have to be optimistic.

Your father always
has a plan for everything.

Dad, this place
doesn't look very hippy.

Hippy? Bet they fine you
for farting round here!

- Mom!
- Hi, darting!

So good to see you.

- This is Curro and Nico.
- Hi. Nice to meet you.

- Indeed.
- "Chardonnay".

Just Juliet is fine.

Looking at this house, I almost
wish my name was Romeo!

Zoe warred me about
your sense of humor.

Eva, can you take the guests
up to their room, please?

- "Chardonnay", "chardonnay".
- Yes, "chardonnay".

Zoe, whereon earth
did you find that scarecrow?

At a market?

Laura, darting, how are you?

Mute.

The lady asked me to prepare
you a room in the south wing.

As long a sour heads
are pointing north, no problem.

The French prime minister
stayed here not long ago.

I hope the sheets
have been changed.

Do you have any allergies?
Are you gluten or lactose in tolerant?

The boy has a strange illness.

All his food needs to have
been made in a Thermocook.

Dad.

But, I can get you one
at Avery reason able price.

- We have the latest model.
- Of course you do.

There's just one problem,

the air ionizer's broken.

What? Nico, we're leaving.
The air ionizer's broken.

- This is intolerable.
- Dad, humility.

You're right, son.

Humility.
Les sis more.

We'll be serving drinks
on the terrace at six.

- Enjoy your stay.
- Thank you.

Wait! I forgot.
You wouldn't have any change?

- 8 would be great, but 7 will do.
- Good grief!

Look at her! How long since
you've seen her like this?

Along time. And this Curro,
is he going to stay long?

I don't know, as long as it takes.

He's certainly made himself at home.

Look at him scratching himself.
He's so uninhibited.

How are you, darting?
You're looking radiant a sever!

Hello, Victor!

Zoe. So nice
to see you again.

Really lovely!

Sorry for interrupting,
but seeing as you're both here,

you can sign off
the purchase of Capital Credit.

Capital Credit?
That company's on it's knees!

- And you are?
- Curro Montejo, it's a pleasure.

This is Victor, he's...

- My partner.
- My mom's partner,

and the manager of our estate.

I hope he's a better
lover than manager.

- Excuse me?
- Capital Credit's days a renumbered.

Are you some kind
of financial expert?

- Yes. Although I'm not working as such.
- Right.

I have it on good authority that they've
been giving loans to anyone,

and when I say anyone...

With no guarantees or anything.

I mean I get why people do it,
it optimizes your APR.

- You know what APR is?
- Annual percentage rate.

They'll be bankrupt in a year.
Mark my words.

Who is this man?

Juliet, enjoy your old age
and forget Capital Credit.

- What old age?
- Victor.

- I'm going to think it over.
- You won't sign.

Curro, we're having
an lbizan party tonight

and I want you to come as my guests.

Thank you. You can
tell I'm a party man!

Hey, Morales!
How's it going?

You seem calm given
you haven't made a single sale.

Don't you worry about me!

You're going to get fired.
- Tonight I'm going to a posh party

Everyone will betaking
a Thermocook home!

Everyone?
You're delusional.

As if!

Everyone!

Jerk!

Give me that!

- Zoe didn't sign the papers.
- Why not?

She let some idiot advise her.

Who? A prestigious
economist, or ex minister?

That guy over there.

I can't see, that jerk's in the way.

He is the jerk.

What?

Dad, why is everyone
in white and so dressed up?

No idea. I was told
it was an lbizan party.

- Ibiza has...?
- Beaches.

- And what are we wearing?
- Beachwear.

We're not here to make a fashion
statement, we're here to network.

Watch and learn.

Good evening.
Curro Montejo, salesman.

That guy screwed up
a million-euro deal.

He must be a wolf
of Wall Street, who knows?

Hello, good evening.
Curro Montejo, salesman.

Dad, give me some to hand out.

I like your initiative, son!

- Curro Montejo, salesman.
- Excuse me.

Good evening.
Do you cook?

My cooks cook.

I own the restaurant
at the entrance to the town.

Great! So call me, because
this is a kitchen revolution

bigger than the discovery
of fire! Thank you.

Thanks.

- Curro! How's it going?
- Hit here!

Wow! Love the shirt!

Ibiza style for the party.

- Yes, and I won't lose you!
- Exactly.

- And Nico?
- He's learning the trade.

- He's amazing!
- Curro Montejo, salesman.

I won't ask.
Let's get a drink.

- Let's get a drink.
- OK!

Curro Montejo, salesman.

- Hi, Zoe.
- Jorge, how are you?

Curro, this is Jorge.

- A friend of my dad's.
- Hi.

Hi.Allow me
to introduce my wife, Vanessa.

- Hello.
- Hi.

- My daughter, Carmen.
- Nice to meet you.

But...

- And the little one is...
- Don't tell me! Your grandmother?

Shall we dance?

See you later, Jorge.
Ciao.

The people at this party are strange.

And the music!

- Do you like it?
- Very modern.

She's a famous DJ.
She mixes electro chill with...

Electro chill? This is a party?
Look around you!

- It's dead! I'll have a word.
- Curro, Curro!

Don't make a scene!

Put some tune son, woman!
Boney M, Tino Casal, Rafael.

Liven this party up a bit.
Look, it's dead!

That guy's an ass!

We'll have to sell it all.

Impossible! Do you know
how much that would cost us?

I can't force the hippy to sign!

Where'd that guy get his information
from? Maybe he's a big shot?

Yes, really...

Hold my drink.

What's all this?

Raising my blood pressure,

squashing my dreams,

carry on like that and you'll see.

- Come on, Zoe!
- Everyone's looking at us.

Dance, Zoe.

I look at my watch,
it's much later than yesterday.

I'd wait for you again

but I won't, I won't.

Where's our unfix able mistake?

Was it your fault or mine?

Not you, nor anyone, can change me.

Slow-mo!

Big shot?
He looks like a big jerk!

Well, who knows? As if millionaires
were the height of elegance!

Look at Donald Trump!

Find some dirt on him.

Come on, Laura!

Come on!
Let's dance.

Come on, come on!

A thousand bells
are ringing in my heart.

It's so hard to say sorry.

Not you, nor anyone, can change me.

Where's our unfix able mistake?

Was it your fault or mine?

Not you, nor anyone, can change me.

A thousand bells are ringing in my heart!
I had a great time at the party.

Everyone was boring, but we danced
it up real good! Especially you, Curro.

You dance well for being so small.

- I like singing, dancing...
- Bed time!

Tell her! She won't shut up!

Grandma wants me
to learn ballet, but it's boring.

We know that you haven't
spoken for ages but...

- Funky's much better.
- Laura...

Look at this hip-hop step.

Listen, Laura!

- Laura, come here.
- Yes? What is it?

Laura, remember how
your father not being around

traumatized you and
stopped you from speaking?

- But...
- Well stop speaking!

Are you mute again yet? OK.

Go to sleep and let us get some rest.

Go in peace and leave us in comfort!

I'll turn your
volume back up tomorrow.

Lights out and get to sleep.

The sweet sound of silence!

- Dad.
- What?

- This vacation is pretty cool.
- As promised.

I hope Mum comes next year!

Laura, honey.

What's wrong now?

- Has some thing happened?
- No.

Laura, would you like
a croissant or panettone?

How's it going?
Good morning!

Morning!

Sorry we're up so late,
but Laura had us up

chatting all night!
She wouldn't shut up!

- She's quiet now!
- Yesterday she was non-stop!

We had to put heron silent mode!
It's these gad gets' fault. Give me that.

People die taking selfie sin cliffs!

No phone makes a big difference.

A thousand bells
are ringing in my...

- Heart.
- That's my girl!

Juliet, take my advice!

- I just don't get it.
- I'll keep this.

Let's have some breakfast!

There's fruit and bacon!
I like a hearty breakfast!

Mom, this is the best vacation ever!

I'm so glad to hear that, honey.

Let me speak to him.

- Who?
- Your father.

OK.
Bye, Mom.

You see? He's having
more fun than a pig in shit!

OK, I was wrong.

Wrong? I didn't think
that word was in your vocabulary!

See how you have be optimistic?

OK! Lots of love.

That's the nicest thing you've said since
"Hang up, this must be costing a fortune".

Bye!

He's such an idiot!

Everything OK, Dad?

I'm smiling like an idiot.
That's the best smile there is!

She laughed too.

She pretends to be tough, but
she always succumbs to my charms.

Like on our first date.

- What did you do?
- What didn't I do?

A fancy dinner,
then a drive in a convertible.

We watched the sunrise.
All that was missing was a violinist!

- Whatever!
- What?

You don't know what
your dads capable of, kid!

Look at us, Nico.
Here we are with these rich people.

On this fabulous yacht.

But this isn't happiness.

No, son, no.

- Happiness is something else.
- What, Dad?

Happiness is...

That!
Check out that yacht!

What a yacht! Two engines,
four pools, twenty cabins!

- Dad!
- You always have to dream big.

The bigger, the better!
Remember that! The bigger, the better!

Zoe, I've spoken to Victor.

Good. Communication is the key
to a good relationship.

Darting, I understand that this...
Curro? Yes, Curro.

That crudeness he has, that vulgarity,
may have a positive effect on Laura,

but I can't believe
that man's an expert in finance.

Neither in finance
nor basic Spanish.

- He's primitive, uncouth.
- Mom!

- Archaic.
- Mom!

I don't like Victor's advice.

Victor's been working
in finance his whole life.

Curro probably thinks
Dow Jones is a pop singer.

Zoe, look!

- Capital Credit's gone bust!
- What?

Yup! It's gone to shit!
And who warred you? Yours truly!

The stock market legend!
The lBEX55 guru!

- Thank God I took your advice!
- Yes!

- Victor! Look, Victor.
- What?

Capital Credit's
gone down the tubes.

Who saved you a million euros?
Yours truly!

- Who is this guy?
- Everyone's in the know here.

Looks like my uncouth
friend saved our ass.

My God! He sure did!

You know what?

From no won I'm not signing
any thing with out his approval.

I'm telling you.

Oh, Zoe!

- Zoe, do you have a second?
- Yes.

I need you to have a look

at this paperwork about
selling your dad's company.

OK. I will.

Your mom and I have spent a longtime
on it and we need your signature.

- OK. I'll read through it all.
- Sure, read through it. But sign.

What's up, Morales?

Weren't you supposed
to have sold something?

I'm getting there.
You? Swimming in sales?

High level contacts
take time to consolidate.

Well get consolidating.

You'll need those contacts
when you get fired.

Who's going to fire me?

You're last, Montejo.

You're the worst
salesman in all of Spain.

Last?
What about the others?

They couldn't sell
a witch a broomstick!

They rolled their sleeves up.
I might start feeling sorry for you.

- Very funny.
- You know me.

What job can you get at your age?
Pizza delivery?

I'd deliver them in your face.

Shit!
He didn't find it funny.

- Dad, put your suit on.
- My suit? Why?

A good salesman
never rests, right?

Son, you're right!
Marbella, here we come!

- What are we doing here, Dad?
- Remember that beach party?

Ibizan party.

I met the owner there
and I want to talk business with her.

- Hello, Sir.
- Hello.

Curro Montejo, Cookfrei salesman.
I'd like to speak to the owner.

She isn't here yet.
Would you like to wait inside?

- OK, inside.
- Table for two?

I see you can count!

Dad, this place is awesome!

Thank you.

Here's the wine list and the menu.

No, just a coke for him and a beer
for me, until the boss arrives.

- No food?

Maybe just some thing to nibble on.

We have a tasting menu...

Any old snack will do.
Just don't forget the beer.

Waiter!

I'm thirsty.

I've got news about
Zoe's new adviser.

That guy's been
cleaning out banks for years.

Toledo, Ciudad Real,
Cuenca, Albacete.

- Of course, the accounts.
- The carpets!

Today we have
an iodized alginatesphere.

Is this food or
a nuclear physics lesson?

Bring me some thing simpler.

He got a BBA from a distance
learning university. It took him 10 years.

Which explains why
he works selling Thermocooks.

- What's that? A new kind of fund?
- A food processor.

Liquid ravioli with
garlic in fused beef.

Ravioli? You could bring
them all at the same time,

save you going back and forth!

The guy's a loser!

He's a loser.

Lentil air with pepper.

Only the pepper for me. I'm already
familiar with the lentil air!

Well, a loser we need on our side.

The good thing is now
we know what this idiot wants.

They get carried a way with
names in these places.

Imagine a crunchy sphere of
bechamel with domestic bird aroma.

- What's that?
- A chicken croquette!

Wait, don't tell me!
This one's easy.

Ice cream illusion
on textured papyrus.

It's the check, Sir.

100 euros for three bar snacks?

This is what I spent
on my wedding reception!

- It's haute-cuisine.
- Haute and barely there!

Let me explain something.
Remember at the gas station?

How could I forget?

Well, the same tax
in equality applies

- in the restaurant business.
- Don't say anymore.

We have to leave without paying.

We're seeing that justice is done!

Speed up.

Quick, or we'll get caught!

Let's go, Nico!
Running is saving!

They didn't follow us.

OK then...

Anymore running and
I'll have liver failure!

We'll try again tomorrow, Dad.

Don't worry.
We might have to change towns.

Let me worry about that.

Go for a swim, I'll be right there.

Don't forget your sunscreen!

I won't!

- What? Bad news?
- It's... You know.

- Because the lBEX is down?
- Yes.

The lBEX 55 couldn't be any lower.

Shall we have a coffee?

I've been observing you.

A man of your talent,
with such great people skills,

you must be a salesman.

- To be a salesman you have to sell.
- Yes.

See this brochure? For you.
Use it for a wonky table.

Jorge and I have
a high-end apart hotel company.

- I expected nothing less.
- 300.

Wow, I didn't expect so much!

We were thinking of
kitting them out with these.

Either through the company,
or through you.

You'd get a good commission.
A tidy sum.

Well, damn, Victor!

I had you down
as a self-interested creep.

Yes, I had a similar feeling
about you, but no.

I need you to help me
out a bit with Zoe.

Apart from my son and my wife,
you can ask me for anything.

She really trusts you. But me,
I'm her mom's boyfriend, it's trickier.

Like Cinderella and the evil stepmother,
but yuppie-style!

I don't get it.
Anyway, the thing is we need

to approve a company sale.

The restructuring plan
I've prepared is impeccable.

But I need you to help with Zoe,
she might have some doubts.

"I don't want quality to go down".

"I don't want to fire anyone."

As if it were my fault!

Sure, the typical
hippy, charitable stuff.

Like: "I want everyone
to have three-month vacations"

"and be super happy".

And I want a Chinese man
to wash my feet! But no.

We're businessmen.
We know that

for a company to flourish,
you have to make sacrifices.

- Sure.
- So then?

- Deal?
- Deal.

And another thing, it's always better
if someone else is making the sacrifices.

Let go, let go.

- Zoe, I need to talk to you.
- Now?

- I have that meeting.
- Exactly.

Just a moment.

Is he still here?

Leave him be. He's not
annoying us for once.

- I've been thinking...
- I've been thinking too.

My heart's telling me
not to follow Victor's advice.

- We're not going to sell the factory.
- Well, actually...

- I think you should.
- What?

Trust Victor's judgment.

What are you talking about?
You know about this stuff.

- Like Capital Credit.
- But not because I'm an expert.

Because I'm poor.
Trust Victor.

Everything OK?

Yes.

OK, so the restructuring of
the holding company. Votes in favor?

- I vote yes, obviously.
- Obviously.

Zoe?

- I vote...
- What's your vote?

Bad news.

The owner shave approved the sale
of the factory to the Filipinos.

They want to move production there,
but we won't let them!

While we've still got some
dignity left, we're going to...

Look! The owners
of the company are on TV.

We're staying put,
'cos we are the factory

Don't go! I'm still talking.

- We're here with Victor Montiolivo.
- Monteleo, Monteleo.

- Moncelio.
- Screw you!

Son of a bitch!

His company to
a large Filipino group.

We wanted to free up some cash flow
so we'd be able to implement...

Careful how you stand,
the camera adds ten pounds!

- Curro, the ham's here, come on.
- Ham!

- Isn't that your husband?
- No.

- Yes, it is.
- No.

OK, it is.
I'm going to kill him!

Me too!

The people you're on holiday with
are the owners of our factory.

No.
They're the owners of Velasco Corp.

- That Jimenez Textiles belongs to.
- I don't know.

- Maybe you're right.
- Of course I am.

What I'd like to know is what
you're doing with that scum.

Business, Daniela.

I've just sold 300 Thermocooks.
I'm going to be manager.

AI lour problems are over.

- What?
- You can forget the strike.

- They bribed you!
- We exchanged assets.

Basically an economic transaction.

Stick your transaction
where the sun don't shine!

You've really screwed up this time.

Don't you think you're
exaggerating just a bit?

Are you there?

Bring my son back and...

- and forget about me.
- Daniela, please.

You're being...

Everything OK, Dad?

Yes, of course.
But I think we need to go home.

Everything went to plan.
It wasn't easy, no.

Nico.

Don't worry.

It doesn't look good.

On the bright side,

at least he hasn't gone to India.

No, but he's acting

like a fool.

He thinks I don't know
what's going on.

He's an idiot.

They never think
we know what's going on.

Mom said: "We're not fighting,
we're talking".

My dad: "I slept on the couch
'cos your mom was snoring".

"We're not shouting, we're talking loud".
"It's just adult stuff".

Do you miss yours?

Yes.

Well,

I don't know.

I just want to be sad

and for my mom to stop asking me:
"Are you OK", "What's wrong?".

- I bet.
- But your dad will work things out.

It's a shame you have to leave.

I'm sorry, but my wife and I
have something urgent to sort out and...

Anyway, sponging off
other sis exhausting!

We've go teach other's number.

You've got my mom's and my dad's
and I've got your mom's.

- So, we'll talk.
- Cool.

- Listen, I've... What?
- Listen, I've... What?

- I've had a great time.
- It was cool meeting you.

I'm going to miss you.

I wanted to ask you for one last favor.

- Don't take this the wrong way, but...
- What?

- It'd be really great if...
- Goon.

You gave us a push! This old thing
is a nightmare to get going!

Of course!

Come on, Nico!

Bye, bye!

See you never!

Honey,

just because Nico and Curro
had to leave,

doesn't mean they're going to disappear.
You can keep in touch.

I know, Mom.
I'm 11 years old.

Besides, I've got Nico's Whats App.

That's great!

It's Mom.

- What does she want now?
- To know what time we'll be home.

At two, but tell her three,
so if we're late, she can't get mad.

Tell me what's going on.

I've worked like a donkey
my whole life, cleaning...

Smiling at people who
treat me like dirt.

Now I have a chance
to make something of myself,

What does your mom do?
Worry about others.

So you've put your foo tin it again.
I'm up to my knees in it.

- So you're getting divorced.
- This again?

No! Your dad's got it
all worked out.

Tonight we'll have dinner
together like a family.

And if we don't, remember your mom
always gives you healthy food.

With me the closest you get to a
vegetable is a carrot cake!

Leave it, son. Getting her
to change her mind is hard.

- Don't take sides.
- I'm playing Candy Crush.

Ah, OK!

Well, you could always
mention all this to her.

Tell her the fighting affects you.

It might seem like nothing now,
but it could turn into

- a rash later on.
- Dad!

It has to be you who does something.

You're losing Mom and if you lose her,
you're going to be in areal mess.

What do you know about it?

You'd be surprised.

You're your mother's son, no doubt.

Don't worry, son.
Your dad always has a plan.

- Nico!
- Mom!

Look how much you've grown!

I want to hear all about your trip.

Hello, Daniela.

- Can we talk?
- There's nothing to talk about.

Oh, come on!

Wait for me inside.

What do you want, Curro?
It's raining!

- You look great.
- Striking's good for the waistline.

I made a deal with the factory owners.
They've promised to keep five of you on.

- What?
- Yes, they've done us a real favor.

There's you and your friend Sara
you like so much,

- that other girl who laughs...
- Stop!

You really think
I'm going to take a job

while everyone else is laid off?

I don't understand you, Daniela.

I gave Nico his dream vacation.

I've made us some money.

I got you your job back.
What more do you want?

What more do I want?

Me?

I...

I want a divorce.

Well, she's not a widow,
but divorce will dome.

Shut up!

Don't worry, Nico.

- It's all OK.
- I know, Dad.

Optimism and beaming sunshine.

It didn't go too well then.

Not really, no.

I thought as much.

Dad told me you were tough.

He told you what?

That it took him ages
to win you over.

He even told me
about your first date.

Really?

What did he tell you?

That he took you for
a fancy meal and for a drive

in a convertible.
What more do you want?

Well, that's
the Curro Montejo version.

It's not true?

He changed a couple of details.

We did go out for a meal,

- but we had to run out.
- You did a runner!

- You know what that is?
- No.

Then his car got towed
and it wasn't a convertible.

The windows were stuck and
you couldn't put them up.

We had two cans of beer watching
the sunrise outside aware house.

That was my first date
with your father.

So then why'd you marry him?

I don't know.

Because even though
it was a disaster,

I'd never laughed
so much with anybody before.

- That's it?
- Oh, Nico!

When you grow up,
you'll understand

that you don't need much more
in a relationship.

Mom! I wish I'd
known that before.

- What?
- Nothing.

For he's a jolly good fellow,
for he's a jolly good fellow,

for he's a jolly good fellow,

and so say all of us.

How the hell did you do it?
And with out a decent suit!

Move, Morales. It's time to give him
his prize. Come on, Montejo.

Congratulations, you're
the new regional sales manager.

I was 25 when I first go there.

And now you must be...

Never mind.
In 20 years you'll be the big boss.

Or you'll be retired by then.

I'll leave you to input the numbers

of the biggest sale
in the company's history!

You're an animal!
A beast! A titan!

- What?
- Listen, Victor.

- The deal's off. I'm cancel ling the order.
- No, no, I'm already with UNICEF.

Welcome.

We're here to sign off on the sale.

I'll read through it in case
there are any last minute changes.

They're inside about to sign.
No to the factory relocation!

We're not going to give up!

Shit!

Start the engine, Carlos.

Morales, give the car a push.

You want me to sing
a song while you drive too?

Let me tell you this quickly.

I'm giving up
the promotion for my wife.

So she won't keep
thinking I'm an idiot.

I really would be
an idiot to lose her.

And you finished
in second place...

Put it in first with
your foot on the clutch!

You can't lose her!
Carmela's the woman of your dreams!

- Daniela!
- Oh! What did I say?

As stipulated by the contract, the seller
agrees that the buyer shall acquire

the totality of the shares,
free from all tax obligations.

Not for sale! Not for sale!

Not for sale! Not for sale!

Not for sale!

Dad!

- What are you doing here?
- Protesting with Mom. You?

- Saving the factory.
- And what else?

- The factory.
- Answer me! What else?

Getting your mother back!

Make her laugh like
the day your car got towed!

- What?
- Make her laugh like the day.

- OK, boss!
- Follow me!

Let's go!

No to relocation!
We are the factory!

Not for sale!
We're not giving up!

This factory isn't for...
Curro!

- Shit!
- What are you doing here?

I think I can save the factory.

- How? Look at everyone.
- No idea, but I have to try.

Get us inside.
Let's go.

I'm one of you!

Initial each page
and sign attendee.

You can't understand me,
but who cares?

- Curro, you'd better have a plan.
- When have I ever not had a plan?

- Never!
- Always!

Awesome!

Optimism, Daniela, optimism.

What optimism?
Take a look behind you.

- Curro!
- Zoe, I have to talk to you.

Out! I'll call the police!
Enough stupid stunts!

Victor!
Let him talk.

Thank you. Thank you.
"Arigato".

Zoe, look...

- I told you to sell 'cos he bribed me.
- Here we go!

He what?

He promised to buy 300
food processors from me.

- He bribed you?
- Just business!

Business?

I'm starting to think
I'm like a mirror.

Yes...
Because everyone

who gets close tome is
only looking out for themselves.

Go ahead, laugh. Everyone does.
You don't have a clue of what I'm saying.

Thank you, Curro.

Thanks for reminding me
I can't trust everyone.

- This is a joke!
- Look, Zoe. The truth is

you shouldn't trust me or Victor,
or any other adviser.

Zoe, you've managed to make money
from a hippy camp.

- Eco Resort
- Fine, whatever.

You can make any company a success.

Just trust your instinct,
be true to yourself.

That's what I'm going to do.

And now I'm going
to ask you one last favor.

Don't sell Jimenez Textiles.

It's a good company

that employs a lot of good people.

My wife is one of them.

None of them
deserve to lose their jobs.

And even though
you'd make a lot of money,

some things are worth more.

What a shitty speech.

- It's your choice, Zoe.
- What?

What? My English
isn't so good.

I'm not signing.

- She's not signing!
- She's not signing.

I don't understand!

Dad did it!

It's great!
Congratulations!

I'm sorry, honey.

I've been a prize idiot.

- And selfish.
- That too.

Ole!

You're a real idiot, Curro.

I can't deny it.
You're totally right.

Nico.

Are you OK?

- But you saved the factory.
- No.

You and your friends
did that by putting up a fight.

I had nothing to do with that.

Curro Montejo!

I haven't had time
to screw up again!

Yes!

Dad!

Come here, kid?

- Little monster!
- My baby.

MY PARENTS

And that's how my dad
saved the factory.

Zoe made my mom head of design
and now she has her own office.

And Zoe and Laura
came to live in Toledo,

so now we see each other at school.

The rich guys are in jail,

for keeping their money in a haven
or something like that.

As for my dad, well, let's just
say he be came a fan of Thermocook

and is at home more now.

But most important of all,
the three of us are together again.

What a happy ending!

Great!

And that's how
the best summer of my life ends.

Oh no, sorry!
It hasn't finished yet.

- What happened to your aunty?
- No idea.

The neighbor said they'd found her
collapsed on the floor like a log.

Maybe it was heatstroke?

It's really dry out here.

89, 89.

- Dad, what's wrong with her?
- Remember we forgot to turn off the air.

Well this is the bill. Look.

Wow! 89 euros.

89 euros!

- Stay calm, aunty.
- Breathe deeply.

This machine's controlling your
blood pressure and keeping you alive.

- Is it electric?
- Of course, it's not a street organ!

- Unplug it.
- No, Aunty.

- Unplug it.
- No.

- I'll try to find a gas one.
- Unplug it.

No, Aunty. Life is a gift.
I won't be an accomplice to murder.

- Do it! Unplug the damn thing.
- No, no!

I'm not going to unplug it!

- Unplug it!
- Enough!

Curro, what have you done?

I think I've just
committed "euthanasi aunt".

I'm alive!

OK, cut! We'll do
another take. Number 26.

A bit more serious
this time, please?

34-1-1.
Camera!

You'll go around telling everyone
that Curro Montejo is your father.

I know who your son is.
These are his...

These are...

These are his grades.

Ouch! Shit.
Sorry.

What job can you get at...?
Argh!

It's Eco... Eco...

Dammit!

Well... cut!

I'm unscrupulous!
I'm mad!

No, Montejo, no.
Motivation.

We've got...

Zombies are after us!

I'm going to make the dinner.
You should skip it, though!

- Euro Disney?
- Cold!

Take that!

What are you doing?
Turn it off!

Turn it off!

Don't laugh!

I don't understand you!
