First feature film directed by Alex Anwandter. You'll never be alone tells the story of Juan, a withdrawn manager at a mannequin factory who after his teenage gay son suffers a violent attack, struggles between paying his son's exorbitant medical bills and his last attempt at becoming partners with his boss. As he runs into dead-ends and unexpected betrayals, he'll discover the world he knew was already waiting to be violent with him too.

Fuck.

Pablo!

Yes, Ms. Lucy,
what's the matter?

Sweetheart, your daddy... what
time does he get home?

Ina while.

I can't let you in, I'm in a towel.

I just wanked to return those Ginsus

I borrowed the other day.

I don't know what a
Ginsu is Ms. Lucy.

You know, those steak knives...

And invite him over for drink too.



I don't know, Ms. Lucy.

Don't worry, honey.

When is your girlfriend
coming over again?

She's not my girlfriend.

Right, she's not very pretty.

The other day I saw her smooching

with one of those boys

playing hard to get.

Yeah, Mari.

But don't worry, honey,
you're gorgeous.

You'll have lots of girlfriends.

Thanks, Ms. Lucy.
I have to go now, OK?

Tell your dad!

Sure.



Not so late though cause I have
lots to do

Sure, sure. Bye.

Hi!

Hi!

Hello.

Hi.

Yes.

Around 9 p.m.

Don't bother, I'm too old for presents.

Sure. I love wine.

One, two. Kick. Three, four.

Step and tum. Step and tum.

Step and tum. Step and tum.

Attitude! Bend down.
One, two, three, four.

Again! Five, six, seven and...

One, two, three, four and...

You remember those old bottles?

Of course! Garrafa was 5 Its

And 15 Its?

15 Its was...

Damajuanal

No, that was 10 Its.

Chuica was 15 Its

No, that was 5 lts

Juanito, for fuck's sake!

Garrafa 5lts, Damajuana 10lts,
Chuica 15 lts...

Chuica!

That's what I said.

You are one dumb girl.

Come on, he's really cute.
Look at him.

Don't make him notice.

What about you?

Who were you smooching with?

You didn't tell me, you bitch!
Tell me! Who was it?

Please.

I cant...

Why not?

We're going up,
the Carrasco brothers down...

When is our next delivery due?

Right, you have to go check that out.

They're always fine, though.

Fucking Chinese,

they work like one hundred times
faster than us

making those mannequins.

Koreans...

They're screwing up the world.

But you know where they'll
never screw us?

Our humanity.

Excuse me.

Hey,

so when's the audition?

Saturday.

Are you nervous?

Nope.

I was born to be famous

so judges and those type of things
don't scare me

Pablo...

What the fuck are
you doing here?

What?

What the fuck, man. Are you
into this shit now?

This dude told me there'd be booze.

Oh, so you buy into what
“The Girl” says now?

Damn man, I'm kidding.

Hey, listen, I think you
better leave.

Shut the fuck up, dyke.

I like Pablito. See?

Hey dude.

Let me go!

Hey, I'm leaving.

Hey Pablito,

let me borrow your
Playstation, man.

Whatever.

I do get it, Mari.

Your dad wouldn't do
anything. He's clueless.

He gets it alright.
He's just playing dumb.

I don't really care.

You're beautiful.

Don't be silly...

That asshole.

Hat 2 dumb-ass.

You think I can't defend myself?

Have you seen yourself?

That's mean.

The movie's over.

You hooked up with Félix.

Yes.

Boss.

Can I come in?

Tell me.

I'm going out. Need anything?

A coffee? A Hot Dog?

No, thanks. I have to go to
the bank in a bit.

Alright.

Go, go.

I don't really understand.

It's just that we want to make

some changes in the company.

Expand a little.

Right, what I don't understand is
why is all the paperwork

under the name of a Mr. Saulmann?

The legal constitution,

the Commerce Registration inscription...

Didn't you bring the commencement
of activities paperwork?

No.

Exactly what do you do
in the company?

Are you an employee?

Look. Bruno, Mr. Saulmann, and I

we've been partners
for a thousand years.

But, sir, if 1 don't see
that anywhere here

how do I know you're going

to invest this credit in the company?

Cause I've worked there
for over 25 years.

What else would I use that money for?

Look, you may well be partners
with Mr. Saulmann

but for me the only
thing that matters

is what's accountable on paper.

You're asking for a credit as if you
were a business owner

but you're an employee.

Besides, if you are partners
with Mr. Saulmann

why isn't he here?

Where is he?

Britney Spears leaves a $100 tip.

That rich bitch.

Man...

That's cool, though.

Cool.

It's Britney...

Does this come with 2 horoscope?

"Sagittarius: It's a key time to plan
the future you desire"

and take that first step.

"It's & time of meetings
and farewells. Go for it."

Awesome, right?

What luck!

My friend.

You'll do great.

I know. I've practiced a lot.

Want me to go pick you up
when you're done?

No.

Why not?

Cause I have stuff to do.

Like what?

Is Félix going to pick you up?

This looks yummy, I'm hungry...

Hey! Is Félix going
to pick you up?

Should we cook this?

Is Félix going to pick you up?

Yes.

Hey.

I said “Hey” man.

Is Martin around?

Ask "the Girl" about the Playstation, man.

Fuck off.

Jeez, it's a joke, dude.
He's in his room.

Hey, but seriously!

Martin?

Come in!

What's up?

The Shark of Recoleta!

Do you have 2 cigarette?

What?

After exercising?

Sure.

Desert.

Give me a cigarette.

You should buy your own.

Why? I have you for that.

So, what is up, Félix.

Good.

Kind of tired.

Lazy as fuck.

Must be all that partying.

The other day you were at
“The Girl's” place, right?

Yeah.

What were you doing there?

I fucking live next door.

My aunt nagged and nagged...

I thought I could get some
booze out of it,

I don't know.

Oh.

Sure.

I'm just messing with you.

But don't hang out with him.

He plays around with
little kids on the street.

That's sick.

I know.

Can I borrow this movie?

No.

Come on.

I said no.

OK.

Take it, it's boring anyway.

Alright. So we're going, right?

Yeah, man.

What do you mean?

We are going!

We'll just go and chat with these guys.

Christopher is a brilliant guy, man.

You'll see.

The other day he said this thing...

about knowing how to
"adopt culture”.

Versus not having ideas, you know?

Values...

Principles.

Cool.

I fucked this girl Danitza yesterday...

she left me with a backache, man.

Crazy bitch.

Let's go, I have to drop off Yosi
before we go.

And tell that faggot about
the Playstation

I'm sick of Rodrigo asking for it.

Hey, Girl!

What's up Martin?

Is that make-up you're wearing?

I was out dancing.

Right...

So?

Did you take it up the ass?

Yes. Yeah, I took it up the ass.

Right.

Come on, its just 3 joke.

I know.

Take a joke like a man.

What's with the face?

What face?

That face, fucker.

Leave me alone, OK?

"Leave me alone, OK?"

I'll leave you alone when I want.

And I'll beat the shit out
of you when I want.

You want me to beat
the shit out of you?

No.

No, I have to go.

Hey, we're just talking here.

You look real cute with
your make up on.

Sleep tight. Fucking faggot.

Asshole...

Lucy, it's 11 am.

And I have to go to work.

I can't start drinking.

Its Saturday.

Fine.

Give me a second.

Tell some assistant to do something.

Sure, my army of assistants...

I'm going to make a call.

Let me get my cellphone.

Smartphone.

Oh, hi!

Hi.

How are you?

Fine.

Ah, here it is.

This one's mine, dad.

What happened?

Nothing, 1 fell down last night at Galaxy.

Where?

Galaxy.

My shoes were untied and I fell

It was really stupid.

Why didn't you put your arms out?

I couldn't. You think I wanted
to fall down?

Jesus, fine. I just wanted to
know if you were OK.

I'm fine, dad.

Ah, I found it.

Hey, didn't you have an
audition one of these days?

I didn't go. It was today.

Why not?

What do you mean "why not"?
Look at my face.

So what?

Whatever, it's not like I'm going to
get rich or something.

I mean, you could at
least try, right?

You should take advantage of those things.

What?

That's the key.

No one's going to hand you opportunities.

You have to take them.

I'm off now.

You actually believe that shit?

Of course I dot!

OK, answer this then:

Why do you think Chile is doing great?

Because of people like me,

who work everyday,
even on weekends,

who take advantage of
opportunities.

I don't stay at home resting.

Sure.

Cause Chile's doing so great.

I'm so proud of being a Chilean

Viva Chile!

But...

Hello.

Yes, this is he...

Hey, hey, hey. And you, mister?

What have you been up to?

Nothing, just chillin'.

“Chillin'...

What?

What?

What?

I's nothing.

You know you can do
whatever you want,

I won't give you a hard time.

But... I wish you'd get
a girlfriend

It's about time.

I'm going to study now aunt, OK?

Sure, the last thing I want
is to be a bother.

Just tell me one thing...

Come, come.

Is there any girl you like?

No aunt, I don't like anyone.

Hi dad.

Hey!

Didn't you go out last night?

Yes, but...

Look at me...

There's dinner for you on the table.

OK. Good night.

Come, Mari,

If you weren't a girl,
I'd do you.

I'm not a girl.

I'm macho, see? A boxer.

You lock amazing. I love it.

Hello, how are you?

Fine.

Hey, what time do you get here?

In an hour?

You had to pass by the factory?

You're going to cook something nice?

Great. Sure, I'll go.
What do you need?

Sure.

Yes, cool. Thanks, dad.

You're the best dad in the world.

I love you very much.

Take care.

I'm fucked.

Whatever, you look amazing.

I love it.

Me too.

Show yourself!

No!

OK, fine.

Check out that guy...

Let's turn around.

Let's go...

Run!

Get him!

Fuck! He's fast.

You're alright, man...

Nice hair, Barbie.

Shut up, fucking faggot.

Get up, it wasn't that bad.

Stand up!

Hey.

Hey.

Come on, get up!

You're such a pussy.

Shut up, fucking homo.

Shut up, faggot.

Shut up.

Shut the fuck up.

Stop!

Please!

Shut the fuck up!

Just shut up.

Stop! Stop! Please!

Stop!

Félix...

Félix, help me!

Move...

What are you doing?

Let's go. Let's go, man.

Fucking faggot.

Hello.

Yes, stable.

No, we don't know yet.

A couple of days... I don't know.

No... thanks.

OK. Thank you.

Yes, thank you for calling.

I just ran.

So you're telling me

you did not see the defendants
attack Pablo

with your own eyes?

No.

You do understand that
without witnesses,

Or previous records,

jail is a long shot, right?

I understand the anger
you're going through.

God knows I do.

But I have to ask you to have faith.

Those boys deserve to be in jail.

And that's what we're aiming for, OK?

This system...

The system doesn't make things easy.

Warranty judges control the
district attorneys

we have to help the district attorney.

And...

And the second facial-trauma
plastic surgery

The first operation comes out to be

4 million 346 thousand pesos.

And the second facial
surgery amounts to...

5 million, 138 thousand pesos.

I see your son just turned 18.

Wait, no...

Your plan covers only 15%
of hospitalization

and surgery caused by accidents

or aggression by third parties.

Sir, you should have told
us about his age.

Or you could've switched
to our Golden Plan

which does cover what
you are asking for.

Give me a second.

Let me do the math with
these new numbers,

applying the 15% coverage...

Making it 2 grand total of

8 million 58 thousand pesos.

Naturally,
you can pay them in 36 installments.

How...

I don't understand.

Why doesn't the refund apply?

Your plan covers up
to 15% in case of

aggression cause
by third parties.

Listen,

my son just turned 18. Just now.

Doesn't that make a difference?

No, no.

It has nothing to do with your son's age,

it has to do with what you
payed for, you see?

Yes, but I've been
paying for 6 years

in case something like this happened.

Yes, Yes.

If you have any complaint

you can go to Customer Service.

They're open from 9012,

Or you can do it through
our web page.

I'm writing the
details down for you.

They will get back to you within 48 hours.

Have a nice day, Sir.

What's so funny?

Looks like you're a little slow.

Let me try.

How am I supposed 10 know
you have to hit it?

That's how men think.

What are you having?

I thought nurses were supposed
to be friendly.

Latte.

Nurses are.

But not doctors.

Oh! So you're the one taking
all my money.

That's right. I'm very, very evil.

Here you go.

Thank you.

So what are you doing here?

Hitting on nurses?

No.

So what then?

I'm here for my son.

He's in room 23.

Ah.

I heard about that.

And how is he?

How can you charge so much
for something like this?

Aren't you ashamed?

Akid in a coma!

Maybe for you it's not much money,
but what do I do?

And what do you know?

Why do people with children feel so
superior to everyone else?

It's so irritating!

Sorry, I can be a bit rash.

That was very rash, I apologize.

No, you're right.

I don't know a thing.

I don't even know exactly what
happened to my son.

Those assholes lied about everything.

Did you know the boys
that attacked your son?

Couldn't you have done something
to protect him?

Do you even have children?

No.

You can't be there for them
all the time,

not all the time, you see?

Work can consume you...

What do yo do for a living?

I make mannequins.

I make sure they're well-made,

without errors.

So you're the reason why women feel

like disgusting fat asses
when we go shopping?

And the mother?

His mom...

I didn't want to...

I was much older than
her when we met...

And then she...

But anyway, that was a long time ago.

And he turned out to be...

He's like the opposite of me.

He likes the same music
I used to listen to,

and that's about it.

I have to cancel his tuition tomorrow.

What did he study? Sorry.

I mean, what does he study?

Dance.

I don't know what it's called, really.

Dance...

Ballet.

That's really nice.

When he was small,

I showed him a picture of himself

where hie had 2 limp wrist,

at a birthday party.

Your classmates are going to
make fun of you, I told him.

He looked at me with such a sad face,
I'll never forget it.

After that, I never really knew...

what to say.

I owe you a coffee.

Oh, by the way, we aren't flirting.

That's impossible, right?

Very impossible.

A coffee it is, then. Just as friends.

I'm off.

Or else I'll have a hard
time at home again.

“You're always late! You're never home!

Work this, work that..."

If anything happens to your son,
give me a call.

The last thing I need

is people thinking I'm
in this for the money.

Thank you.

Open up...

Come in, then.

Come on!

And...

Juan, are you there?

Are you there?

What do you need, Lucy?

Are you OK?

Are you OK?

No.

Juan...

Listen...

it's OK.

Come here.

Pablito will be fine.

I know it can be difficult

but that's what close ones are for.

Anytime you need anything,
you can come to my place.

Pablito is strong.

You have a beautiful boy.

He just has to be more careful.

Félix too.

He needs to stay away from those boys.

Those boys... They should be in jail.

I told those morons they
shouldn't be mean

to Pablo just cause he
was... well, different.

You know...

Juan...

some time ago

I saw him dressed up like a woman.

I didn't even want to mention it

cause it's none of my business.

But I'm telling you because I care.

I---

Wait, wait, wait.

You told those little shits

that you had seen
Pablo dressed as a girl?

No...

I mean...

I told them to be nice to him

that they should take care of
him cause he was different.

Did you tell them? Yes or no?

No! Of course I didn't!

Why would I pry into Pablo's
things, or anyone else's?

Why?

Because you're a
pathetic old woman.

Dancing and shit at your age.

Who do you think you are,
prying into my son's life

lock how he ended up!

Why would I pry into your fives!

Well, you do! You do.

Or you think I haven't
seen you snooping this way?

Why would I be snooping
on you people?!

You know what... I'm leaving.

Get out of here, you spying hag!

And don't come back!

I'm leaving!

And stop trying to come on to me.

- You think I'll get it on with you?
- Sure! Cause you're the best catch, right?

With those ridiculous clothes.
You don't work, don't do anything!

Even a faggot's life
is worth more than yours!

It's just that...

I feel funny about that...

The thing is...

I feel kind of funny about that,

It's just that... you know what?

I feel funny about that.

What's the matter, damn it!

My boy...

I'm so proud you turned out
to be so tall,

good-looking,

because those things matter
in the long run.

Me, on the other hand...

Nothing worked out for me.

But, Grandpa, don't say those things.

You did good yourself, right?

Sure, but.. I was 0 damn poor.

But happy, right?

Your son, did he tum
out tall too?

No, not as much.

Oh, but he looks like a gringo too, right?

No, he is more dark-skinned.

Back when I was a kid

when I went to Petorca...

must've been around...

I don't remember when...

Grandpa?

What?

I don't know...

But who's going to know
if you don't? This damn kid!

Can we talk?

Juan, I spoke to Felix,.

He told me he tried
to protect Pablo...

Juan, let me in, please.

I believe him.

We've been neighbors for ages.

How could he do something like that?

And what is that supposed to mean?

Next time?

Next time they'll definitely go to jail?

Next time they beat the shit
out of my son? Which next time?

Sure, sure.

And I guess you'll be charging
me anyway, right?

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Hello?

Bruno.

Ah! Right, of course.

You're right.

Good thing you reminded me.

Yes, I'm taking it easy. Thanks.

OK. Around 9 at your place, then?

OK. See you.

Bye.

Cheers!

Juanito

I wanted to tell you...

more like thank you

for all these years
you've been with me.

Really, I can't say how
much they mean to me.

I really wanted you to come cause

I wanted to tell you something

that's made me very happy.

And I hope it's a good
thing for you too.

Last Saturday I met
again with the Carrasco brothers.

And we decided to merge.

OK...

Turns out, they were doing a lot
better than what I thought

Especially with their distribution

which perhaps is our weakness

Basically, this means
we'd merge two things, right?

The factory

with their
distribution operation.

The best part of all is

they are going
to handle everything.

I know this isn't exactly
what you wanted

but I can't imagine a
better opportunity

for you to invest that money
you've telling me about.

I think this will be really,
really good for

both you and me.

So let's have another...

Wait. I don't get it.

What do you mean “exactly”
what I wanted?

What do you mean?

This has nothing to do
with what I wanted.

How can you sell the whole
god damn business

without telling me?

Selling? What are you talking about?

What do you mean,
what am I talking about?

How many times have you told me

"I want to be a partner,”

I want to be an entrepreneur,

'I want to be independent.”

Well, this is fucking it.

I mean, it's not going to be
like before

but you'll be partners
with the Carrasco brothers!

An entrepreneur! What do you say?

I can't believe this.

I cant.

You know what surprises me the most

about your fucking betrayal?

Shut up! Shut up!

It's that I'm not surprised at all.

And how do you plan on competing
against the Chinese?

Koreans, moron.

Juan! Juan... Hey.

Hey! Wait. I'll take you home, OK?

You're upset!

Pablo is still at the hospital.

Listen, I understand. I swear I do.

I know it's intimidating being

alone for the first time.

Wait, wait, let me get the keys.
Just wait there.

Juan, let's talk this over.

Here. You drive. Really.

You wanna try out a BMW?

I swear, it's relaxing. It is.

It's like taking Valium.

Juan, I understand you.
I really do.

I remember

[ was on & plane once

to Argentina, I think,
I don't remember

and I started opening

that little bag of peanuts

they give you so you
won't starve to death

and this old broad next
to me, argentinian, goes

“Could you stop making
that noise?” And I thought,

fuck, we have turbines
right next to us...

Where the fuck are you
going with this story?

Sometimes you have a
loud noise next to you

but the thing that bothers
you is the little peanut bag

And problems are just like that.

You're stressed. With
Pablo in the hospital

I understand, and yet,

this is something small. It's nothing!

[ Trust you...

And this?

And this? Is this not
a small thing?

- And this isn't a small thing?
- What are you doing? You resentful prick!

Get the fuck off of me.

Félix!

Aren't you going to say anything?

Hi, sir.

My aunt told me you
stole a car, is it true?

If it were up to me, you'd be in jail.

But I know it was that son of a bitch
that's responsible.

OK. Just tell me what you want.

I want you to tell me why
you didn't do anything.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Don't do this to me, asshole.

Tell me what happened.

Look, sir, I told everyone,

I told my aunt, [ told everyone

I was just passing by.

No, no, no! Tell me what happened!

What happened with what?

I know, OK? I know!

What do you know, sir? What?

You're wasting my fucking time, sir.

I'm not stupid! I know that
you and Pablo...

What? What?!

What do you want,

that I start crying and say what?

That your son's a faggot

and someone was going to beat him up
any day now?

It doesn't matter who did it, asshole!

It doesn't matter!

Martin was helping him become a man

while you were in your stupid factory

with your stupid mannequins

Pablo was a bigger faggot everyday.

And where were you?

Locked up in your stupid factory.

He was hanging out with that dyke,

he'd play around with children.

On top of that you stole a car?

What do you want?

You people have no fucking principles.

What are you talking about?

Are you crazy?

You and that fucking gringo
beat the shit out of & kid!

My son!

He could die!

Look, I have to leave.

Please, tell me.

Tell me what happened.

I don't know what you're
talking about, sir.

I'm talking about...

you and Pablo being...

Don't mess with me, you old fuck.

Ah, you're going to hit me now,
you little shit?

I've known you since you were...

No, no. I don't want anything
to do with this.

I even thought I could get raped.

Besides, they're waiting for me in the car.

Nobody knows we know each other.

It'll be as if you felt sorry for a child.

This is too weird. It's a scam.
Do you think I'm that dumb?

It's not a scam!

What is it then?

It's my money!

Ana, please help me.

I don't even know you!

Where did you get this money?

I've worked there for over 25 years!

I was scammed, don't you see?

That asshole will probably have me accused

and I have no time left.

My son doesn't have any time left!

That's your responsibility!

It's none of my business.
I have no children,

I don't want children

My life's just fine.

It won't be your responsibility,
it's just a formality.

Please, pay the hospital bills.

I have to leave for some time. Meanwhile...

I don't want him to suffer.

My woman is going to kill me.

Thank you.

I'd kind of get married.

And who would you marry?

Some girl...

I've had girlfriends.
I like girls.

Woman, please.

Bitch, you're so prejudiced!

Can you get a
hard on with a girl?

Yes.

Liar!

Oh, and why not?

Because you're super gay?

Oh, what do you know?

I know.

I don't find myself that gay.

I guess I am really gay.

I love you.

Me too.

Want anything?

No.

What? You want another kiss?

No.

I love you.

I love my dad too...

And that idiot, Félix.

I'm happy, you know?

You're beautiful.

I'll never leave you on your own.

Me neither.
