["Maniac" playing]

Harder, harder!

[woman] That's it, that's it!

[huffing and puffing]

[woman] Strong and powerful!

That's awesome, that's awesome!

Good! Very good.

[grunts]

So, how'd I do?

How'd you do? No, no, honey,
the most important thing is yet to come.

Okay, blondie, I need you,
right from where you are,



to see with your mind's eye,
how the network people would choose you.

I need you to visualize yourself

as the ideal person
they need for their program.

Do you know what you have to say?

- Yeah, okay, okay.
- Okay, good.

So, now give me more.

Give me everything,
I want that warrior attitude, powerful.

Ready and action!

Hello. I'm Marcela Londoño,

I'm forty-five years old,
I'm a teacher and I'm also a housewife.

And I'm the ideal person to
participate in the challenge The Origin.

I know we can all fulfill our dreams

regardless of our age or gender.

Because limitations are only in our mind.



-Yes!
-Got it!

Perfect! This is ready to send.

Oh, Blondie, but I want

- to ask you a question.
- Hmm?

Listen, is this reality thing
really so important to you?

Yes, it's very important for me.

It's something I want to do for me,
and for my children.

Because I want
to show them that if you work,

that if you're consistent,
that if you fight, if you strive,

you're capable of reaching your dreams.

Well, yeah.

Even winning on a reality show.

- Then again, at our age...
- Hey, you mean, your age.

Huh? Pardon?

[laughs] No.

The thing is that at their age

what they need is for the mother
to set an example,

and that's what I want.
I want to be an example for them.

You've always been an example.

Oh, sure,
but that goes unnoticed in everyday life.

But now on TV...

[groovy music starts playing]

Good morning, Mopper!
I brought you some breakfast!

- For you, too!
- Who cut off the yellow flowers that I...

Marcela, it's good to see you.

How come you're dressed like that?

- Because I was making a video.
- A video? A video of what, Marcela?

I'll tell you later.
There's a meeting tonight, right?

- Yes.
- You have to come.

- You're the heart of those meetings.
- Ms. Hortensia, you have to come as well,

because without you,
this building doesn't run properly.

Have a good day.

- Have a good day.
- Good day, Marcela, have a good one.

Why are you looking
at that she-wolf that way?

That she-wolf? But a minute ago you said:

"You're the heart of those meetings."
I wonder what the video's about?

Well, I'm sure it's porn.
I've always said she's a sly fox.

- Hey, Mouse! Ugh.
- What's up, Blondie?

- Did you spill breakfast again?
- Well, yeah.

if you throw papaya in the juice
it'll splatter everywhere.

Ah, look, speaking about papaya,

-I brought you fruit from...
-No, I'll take it, thank you.

- But go change.
- Yeah, I will.

- My shirt's in the bathroom.
- In the bathroom?

- Because I put it in the thing.
- Mom. I'll eat on the way to school.

- That's your father's.
- Did he spill everything again?

- Manolo, respect your father.
- We need to buy him a bib!

Say goodbye, at least to me.

Oh, Manolo! I adore you.

Sara! What are you doing with that phone
when the bus is about to get here?

- Look at your skirt. Look at it.
- Oh, no, don't start.

- What are you doing at night?
- Mom. Don't. Let go, let go! Stop it!

Why do I even spend money on those skirts?

Remember that you have
a meeting at school on Friday.

No, I won't go there.

He doesn't have to go
because he doesn't work there.

I do. I'll go to your class
and I'll get your grades.

How can I say
I don't like you being my attendant.

- Why don't you?
- Because you're my mom,

it's annoying to be
the teacher's daughter.

Big deal. Everyone at school
knows that I'm your mother.

I don't want that,
I want some black coffee.

No coffee!
Do me a favor, pull that skirt down.

- And you, I love you very much.
- Oh! I love you too.

- You, come here.
- Oh, no. Let go, let go, no.

No, no, let her go, she doesn't like it.

She's not eight years
and she's going to turn blue.

- You're still dirty. Look!
- Because I spilled juice on myself!

And you...

I love you very much.

Look, Sara, do me a favor
and eat your breakfast.

Otherwise, I'll put
this food in my backpack,

and feed you through a tube
during recess, in front of everyone,

so that you know what it means
that you mom cares about you.

[groovy music starts playing]

Really? Nothing yet?
No one's called you from the network?

You think they didn't like the video?
How about if it never reached them? No!

You should call them.
Do you have their number?

Oh, but you're
so persistent, you get me anxious.

No, maybe they just haven't seen it.
I'm thinking about something...

- Hello!
- Hello, sweetheart!

I'm thinking
if they call me, it's meant to be.

If they don't call me,
then it wasn't meant to be and that's it.

- Hello, Professor.
- Hello.

But if they don't call you,
I'll sue that network,

I swear. And I'll never watch
one of their shows again,

I'll switch to their competition.
Oh, anyway, we're late for class.

- I'll see you later. Okay, bye.
- I'll get you for lunch. Bye.

Hello kids, how are you?
Get to class, get to class, get to class.

[MARCELA] Hello! I'm going to give you
two more days to turn in your work,

but only two days, okay? Alright then...

Marcela! Come here.

Professor, look, these are the activities
for the students in your class,

- for you to review.
- Oh, thank you.

Hey, looks like you weekend
did you good, right?

- Why do you say that?
- Because you look replenished, refreshed.

Well, it's one of the two:
either Miguel has a very good hand,

or you did a lot of snacking
over the weekend.

[laughs]

4[Teacher] Ah, anyway, Marcela,
it's all good, don't worry,

after a certain age
it's better not to be so skinny.

Have a good day, Professor.

Have a good day, Professor Olga Lu!
It's always so nice to see you.

[woman] Marcela,
don't pay attention to her.

She's only wishes to be in your physical
condition, and she's younger than you.

Oh, Ms. Clemencia, well, younger, younger.

[Chuckles]

Okay. What's important
is that you're a better teacher.

and your students love you
more than they do her.

Thank you, Ms. Clemencia.
But going back to what's really important,

- do you think that I'm out of shape?
- She's out of shape.

You're super fitness, as they say now.

What happens
is that she's touchy about everything,

we just have to cope with her.

- Well, get to class, you're late.
- Yes, ma'am.

Well, show me
what salad you brought today.

No, Blondie, I honestly don't know
how you can live eating only grass.

I definitely need my rice, my potatoes
and a good piece of chicken to be happy.

You shouldn't let Olga Lucia's
hurtful comments get to you.

But I don't eat this way because of her.
I eat this way for me, because I like it.

But besides that, I eat this way,
you know why? Because I'm thinking

what if they call me from reality show?
[shriek]

I have to look good.

If they call me, I don't want to be
booted off the first week.

Oh, no! Like Sara says:
‟Not a chance, mom”.

So, have you already thought
what to do to keep the kids on track.

Yes, of course. I'm ahead of the game,
hence my notebook, look.

This here is my draft schedule,

which I then transfer
to this official schedule

and that's the one
I distribute throughout the house.

And here I'm writing for them,
look, right here, they're weekly chores.

The weekly chores are here,
and the daily ones too,

with the times and how long they should
spend on each activity.

Of course, because if I have them
doing the dishes, for example,

they can take more than an hour
wasting water and then I come,

and who pays the bill? No one!

No, well, if that's the case,

I officially declare myself
unfit for marriage.

The one who really worries me is Manolo.

Because Manolo, I don't know why
that boy came out this way.

He's so unruly, he
lives like in the Manolo-World.

I don't know.
He needs supervision twenty-four, seven.

Otherwise,
the kid will fall off the tracks.

Ah! I was thinking
of asking you for a favor.

[Marcela] But, you tell me
if I'm asking for too much, I don't know.

Sure, of course. What is it?

You think if I do the reality show...

...you can watch over him?

Oh, your baby!

[cat meow]

[Miguel] Hey, you! Out of here!

You! Get out!

Oh, no, mouse. Leave the kitty alone
because she's in heat, okay?

- She peed there.
- No, leave her alone.

And stop scraping the pot,
because then your colon becomes inflamed.

- It's not like I don't feed you.
- It's just so good,

I mean it, I'd even eat the burnt part.

[Marcela] Listen, listen!
Don't leave just yet! Wait! Wait!

Don't fall asleep tonight, okay?

Today is...

Oh, finally! Thank goodness.

You had me going through a dry spell.
You planned everything.

You should run for Mayor.
Can you imagine another female mayor?

Or send your resume to District Planning.
You're the best. Planning everything.

Listen, whatever.
You make sure to turn into a rat,

and don't you go to sleep!

Because today is the tenth
and then it's time to check the schedule,

and who knows until when.

I'm on it. Perfect.

I'll be waiting.

[purrs]

I'm going to give it to you good.

- Hot mamma.
- Mouse!

[giggles]

The night kitty has come,
to get her monthly share.

[growls]

Call of the jungle.
Call of the jungle to Miguel!

[giggles]

Come on, Miguel!

Mouse!

Mouse!

He's asleep again.

Guess it's until next month.

[energetic music starts playing]

[phone rings]

Yes, Marcela Londoño, that's me.

[female voice] Hi Marcela. How are you?

We're the production team
for the reality show The Origin

to inform you that you've been selected
to be part of our next competition.

- Seriously?
[female voice] Yes, of course.

Thank you.

[cheering crowd] Marce! Marce!

[crowd cheers and claps]

Okay, stop.

Silence!

[crowd clapping]

To conclude.

The faculty of this school,
and the board, are filled with pride

that a teacher like Marcela,
so dedicated and so loved,

will compete in the reality challenge

- The Origin!
[crowd] Bravo!

[cheering]

Remember, when you're there,

that you won't only demonstrate
the kind of athlete you are,

but you will be representing all of us.

Elevate the name of our school and show
what we Colombian women are made of.

Yeah! Go, Marce!

[cheering and clapping]

Thank you, thank you,
Ms. Clemencia. Thank you.

Alright, and do us a favor:
Win that contest.

[laughs]

And here, in front of all you colleagues,
I say, when you return,

I will appoint you
Head of the Social Department.

[crowd cheers and claps in surprise]

[crowd] Marce! Marce!

[bell rings]

Dear beloved parents,

I don't know if the monitor of the group,
Professor Olga Lucia,

had the opportunity to tell you,
but it turns out that

our beloved Professor Marcela,
who is Sara's mother,

is leaving us
for the challenge The Origin,

which is the TV reality show.

So, I wanted to ask everyone
to please give her a round of applause,

and to focus all of our energy
in sending her all our positivity

so that she can win this reality show

and elevate the name
of our beloved Esparta High School.

- Alright now, let's give her a big hand!
[crowd] Wow, Bravo.

[crowd cheers and clap]

[man] Bravo!

Dear Marcela.

You're the pride
and joy of the entire neighborhood,

and we're sure
that you'll represent very well

the residential complex "Los Laureles 7".

[crowd cheers and claps]

[woman] Compete
with gallantry and heroism!

And elevate the principles
of our neighborhood and our community!

And if you don't do it that way
let him and her demand that of you!

[man 1] That's right!
[man 2] Bravo!

[crowd cheers and claps]

[band starts playing a cheerful tune]

[crowd celebrates and cheers]

Alright!

[laughs]

We should go back
to the party, it got good.

Oh, yeah, mom, please.
Let's go, the mega party got really good.

[Miguel] Pass me the sauce.
- No, no, I'm not going back,

I have to wake up early
and I'm not going to do any drinking.

Why not?
Look, even athletes drink in Colombia.

Those are the bad athletes,

- even if they think they're good.
- Listen to Luisa!

[at the same time] Laura!

Oh, yeah, Laura, Laura,
I always forget. Uh, Laura.

If the athletes
in this country were smarter

and they wouldn't be drinking at parties,

we would've easily won about three, four,
maximum five world championships.

[Laura] Woah! For sure.

Alright, look. Listen to me, whatever.

Attention, guys.

Okay, come on,
stop eating because I'm talking.

Tomorrow,
mom leaves early for the reality show,

I'll be gone for a few days,
and you are in charge of

- your father!
- Your Dad!

[Marcela] Do all the chores on
the schedules I left for you to do, okay?

There are schedules everywhere
so you can follow the rules

and not let your mother down.

- Especially you, Sara.
- Yeah, especially you Sara

- who never does anything.
- Oh, excuse me then.

I don't count. I'll eat in my room
because Sara never does anything.

- Since Sara is useless, please excuse me.
[Miguel] You're staying right here.

- That's because of that cellphone thing,
- I need to make a call.

An important phone call.

- Let's see, come right back here.
- Miguel! Manolo.

- No sir, you're not getting up like that.
- Miguel! Come on. No!

[Marcela grunts]

Well, the neighbors
bid me a better farewell

than my family. Look. You see?

That's true, Marce, but they're the ones
who are going to miss you every day,

and will always be cheering for you.

Listen.

I'm serious now will you really
take care of Manolo for me?

I will, I will!
Here you go again with the same thing.

- No, but swear to me. Swear to me!
- I swear.

No, because that kid of mine, look,

if you're not on top of him,
he'll get in trouble

just like that, I swear.

[Manuel and Manolo start arguing]

- Oh, Marce.
- That's how it'll be.

Take care of him
as if he were the apple of your eye.

I will, I'm going to take care of him
as if he were my own. Okay? Feel better?

You see? All it takes is for you
to have one drink, and you act like this.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Let's take a family picture,
just the family, well, but with Luisa.

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

Ms. Marcela,
I'm not going to miss a single episode.

Do people vote over the phone
or how do people vote?

Okay, look here,
looking at the camera, okay.

One, two, three!

Give everything there.

Well, come back home famous,
because you're going to win.

I get emotional
because she's your mom who's leaving,

and the whole country
is going to watch you,

and you're going to be famous
and you're going to win!

[crowd cheers]

[tense music starts playing]

I invite you to meet
the contestants of Team Fire.

I'm Marcela Londoño,
I'm forty-five years old

and I think that there are no impossible
challenges, only incapable people.

Anyone can achieve their dreams,
regardless of their age or gender,

because limitations are only in the mind.

Oh, you're beautiful, mommy!

Hot mamma!

Dad.

My name is Augusto Moreno,

I'm eighteen years old
and I study medicine...

Who's this?
He's the same age as my brother.

...strong, brave and disciplined.

Now, speaking of strong,
brave and disciplined young people,

where's your scrawny brother

who doesn't have the decency
to come watch his mother on TV?

[Laura] I would've never imagined
that by keeping my word to your mother

I was going to end up
in a place like this.

In a police station? What did you do?

Well, it's just that these
policemen were harassing me asking for ID,

as if we weren't living
in a free and civilized country.

No, sir. A good citizen
can identify himself

when asked to do so
in a free and civilized country!

He doesn't start looking for trouble!

Yeah, okay, fine. Now I know.

"Now I know." I'm so angry at you, Manolo.

- Yeah, why?
- What do you mean why?

Don't you see that because of you
we're missing the first episode

of your mom's reality show?

Oh, yeah, right?

Just hurry up. Hopefully
we'll get to see the end of the show.

Hey, Sir! I'm taking the kid with me!

["telepatía" playing]

[Contestants] Come on, let's go.

[Contestants] Come on,
come on. Go up, go up!

[tense music starts playing]

[contestants cheering]

At this moment, an explosive finish
on the challenge of the day.

After Marcela managed to undo
the advantage that Team Astro had,

now things are even between both teams,

and it's all up to Raúl and Augusto.
Who deserves to go to heaven?

And who will go into exile in hell?

[contestants] Get ready. Come on,
let's go. Come, do it. Don't give up.

[female presenter] Augusto's cube
has fallen, which means

that he must return to the beginning
of the obstacle to start over again.

- No!
[contestant] Come on, come on!

Nothing left to do.
The win goes to Team Astro,

which is celebrating right now.
I'm so sorry, Team Fire.

[Team Astro celebrates]

[birds chirping]

I'll be back.

Augusto.

- Come on.
- What a disaster.

Why is it a disaster?
Oh, leave that alone, careful.

No, this is no disaster.

This is a game, sometimes you win,
sometimes you lose,

- and we lost. We'll win next time.
- No, this is real life.

It's my life.

I came to this reality show
to show a lot of people

what I'm capable of.
And on the first try...

...I mess up? Everyone must be hating me.

Come on, stop talking nonsense.
No one hates you.

And if someone has a problem with you,
then they'll have to take it up with me.

[laughs]

Stop!

[laughs]

Why are you so nice?

[tense music starts playing]

I don't know.

It must be because I'm a mom.

Because I'm a teacher...

...out of conviction
and not out of obligation.

Because I love young people.

I love them! Young people are my passion.

Because working with young people
makes me feel renewed continuously.

That must be why you look so young.

[both laugh]

It must be,

eating right,

exercising,

thinking nice thoughts.

That is the fountain of eternal youth.

Collagen, pure and direct.

[Marcela laughs]

There.

[relaxing music starts playing]

[door knocks]

Going!

What's up? Can I come in?

8Well, you're in.

[Laura exhales]

So now, what did you do?

I had a fight with my dad.

So, why did that happen? Come on, tell me.

You know how my dad is, right?
No one can put up with that man.

What about you, Manolo?
Who can put up with you?

Well. I was hoping that at least
you'd put up with me tonight,

because I really have nowhere to stay.

Do you think I can stay here, Laura?

[groovy music starts playing]

[phone rings]

Hello?

Hello, Sara. It's Laura.

Oh, what's up, Laura?

[Laura] Hey, honey.

Do you know why
Manolo argued with your dad?

Manolo argued with my dad?

That's weird, because
we don't even know where Manolo is.

So, then they didn't have a fight, right?

Since my mom left for the reality show,
we haven't heard from him again.

I know that he's well and that he's alive

because I ran
into his avatar in a game the other day.

But I didn't say hello nor anything
`cause they were going to kill me.

[suspense music starts playing]

Listen!
If there's one thing that I can't stand

it's that someone takes me for a fool.
Why'd you lie to me? I just talked to Sara

and she said there was no fight
between you and your dad!

What a snitch.
But there could've been a fight,

or even in the future.
Don't you see that my dad and I

can't stand each other? If it happened
two days ago or two weeks from now

what difference does it make?

You can't fool me
with all your fairytale stories,

don't you see
I'm the owner of the bookstore?

Why did you lie to me?
Why did you make that up?

- Do you want me to be honest with you?
- Try me.

Because I wanted to stay here tonight.

- So, what's the reason for that?
- To be able talk to you

without anyone getting in the way and to
tell you how I feel about you, Laura.

I'm in love with you.

- What?
- Yes. Yes.

I can't stop thinking about you
and I'm going completely crazy!

Yeah, you're completely crazy,
but since you were a kid, period.

Yeah, I'm crazy,
crazy with love and desire for you.

Beautiful Laura, you pretty thing.
Why are you precious? I love you.

Manolo!

Manolo!

Oh, this is amazing! I love it!

[groans]

[sighs]

This is crazy.

No, no. This is wrong,
this is very wrong, my God!

What did I do?

What my mom asked you to do, right?

To take care of me, and I swear no one's
taken such good care of me in my life.

No, it wasn't supposed to be like this!

Manolo, get dressed and just go home,

and what happened never happened,
and it'll never happen again.

Are you serious?

[Hortensia] Gustavo,
the reality show started!

I'm going!
It's just that the eggs just arrived.

Isn't that woman embarrassed to climb
in breeches on that young man's shoulders?

[Gustavo] They're not breeches, Hortensia.
It's a swimsuit, it's like that.

Well, all the more so.

What will Miguel think
when he sees his wife like this!

I've wondered the same thing many times.
What does he think? What does Miguel feel?

[Hortensia] What do you mean?
[Gustavo] No, no, from the excitement,

the contest, the competition.

She seems happy to be rubbing
her you know what on that guy's shoulders.

Well, look at that. Look at them hugging!

[Gustavo] No, but now
that does seem very suspicious.

- Even I got...
- What did you say?

No, I mean the teamwork shows,
and the triumph.

That idiot.

[Laura giggles and moans]

Oh!

Manolo...

[breathe out]

[Laura] Oh...

How am I going to explain this to Marcela?

No, it's okay, Laura, don't worry.

You simply tell her
that you listened to her,

that you were on top of me,
and under me, and next to me,

and in the same way
in the opposite direction.

Oh, why do you always have to
come up with those silly jokes,

and those stupid little comments?

No, come on!

We missed the reality show
because we were at it again.

- But this won't happen again. It won't.
- No, this has to happen.

- This will happen again. It has to.
- It can't happen again.

It won't happen again.

[Manolo] Oh!
May it happen again, please, God!

[Augusto] What's up?

Hello.

What? Are you digesting the...

...water?

[chuckles]

No. No, I just feel like...

Of course, you're missing your family.

Yeah, that's right.
I'm lonely and I miss them.

And who do you miss?

My girlfriend.

Are you very much in love?

I am very much in love.
Like I've never been before.

The worst part is we had a fight
before I came here over something dumb.

And I don't know, I'm afraid that

she might find someone new
during the time I'm here.

Oh, no! Don't think about that.

Because look how handsome you are.

You're just so cute with that smile.

Look at me.

With that charm of yours,
with that joy. She'd be a fool.

You know what?

I know who you remind me of.

- Who?
- My kindergarten teacher.

[both laugh]

No! No!

Well, not physically,
but in the way you act.

And I remember that she taught me
how to make these dolls...

...with banana leaves.

And I made this one for you.
To keep you company when you're lonely.

It's very nice.

[kiss]

- You like it?
- A lot!

I'm going to keep it forever,
forever, and ever. I loved it.

[gloomy piano music]

[noisy commotion]

It sucks, Gabriel! The rating sucks.
Did everyone see? The rating sucks.

But people like it!
The contestants are all fit!

There's the forty-five year-old lady
who competes with the young contestants!

All of them are charismatic!
The comments made are great!

The presenter is very pretty!

Oh, but that's precisely
the problem, Gabriel!

That the contestants are too perfect,

so the viewers
have nothing bad to say about them!

Oh, sure, they're so good, right?
So discreet, so politically correct,

and that's why we have nothing!

This doesn't work for us!
We have nothing to go on!

This reality show needs spice, Gabriel.

Lots of spice!

Everything looks nice,
the games are very good,

the cast is spectacular,
but nothing happens!

That's why it's not scoring.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

The competition beat us
with a repeat from twenty years ago!

They're going to kill us, brother.
They're going to fire us!

[sighs]

I have an idea.

I had an idea,
but we have to go down to the master.

[suspense music starts playing]

It's something I did to have fun,

but also in case
a problem comes up, it's a solution.

I'll do the voiceover.
Better yet, take a look.

[romantic music starts playing]

Show me.

What happens
when we put together an older woman...

...with a vigorous young man
in search of experiences?

Why are you so nice?

In a paradisiac place...

...where prejudices don't matter.

Fighting, shoulder to shoulder,
skin to skin, for the same ideal.

Where success or failure
make the bodies express

what the mind doesn't want to repress.

I am very much in love.
Like I've never been before.

These two hearts seek
a hideaway to speak of the forbidden.

[Marcela] Because I love young people.

[Augusto] That must be
why you look so young.

[both laugh]

[Gabriel] And their repressed desires
bloom, emerge and reveal themselves.

That is the fountain of eternal youth.

Collagen, pure and direct.

Well.

It's one of those things
I come up with, but...

Don't touch anything!

This is pure gold.

This here...

...is going to save us, Gabriel.

Polish up that script,

we'll make beautiful music,
with lots of sensuality,

we'll call the announce
and we'll come out with this tonight.

["Rebulú" playing]

[laughs]

Son of a gun, that's why I'm here!

That's why I have the job
I have in this place, dammit!

Yes!
