Vida perfecta (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - Cuando intentas volver a empezar - full transcript

Hello.

Welcome.

Hello.

After giving birth,

a lot of women experience
the baby blues,

which lasts about two weeks.

However, there are a lot more women
than we imagine

who are unaware
that they have severe anxiety.

If it isn't treated,
it can turn into postpartum depression.

For instance,

you told me you thought
you'd be over the moon



when he was born,
and yet you feel sad.

Why is that?

A possible mixture
of hormonal changes,

tiredness, accepting the new situation...

It's normal to feel that way.

A lot of women are facing a reality

that doesn't match what they expected.

And they reject it.

Excuse me...

- Are you suggesting I reject my son?
- No, I'm not.

Even if it were the case, it's fine.

Let's go back to why you're here.

I'm going to go. Yes.

- Sure?
- Yes, I'm sorry.



It's not you, it's me.

That's all.

Mar?...

Come back whenever you want.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

MARIA AGUADO, 35...

PERFECT LIFE

WHEN YOU TRY TO START OVER

Hello.

4 WEEKS LATER

Excuse me,
I'm losing my voice.

- Oh dear.
- Don't worry.

Thyme, works a treat.

I can come back another day.

It's okay.

Sorry for leaving that way.

It's fine, I'm glad you're back.

- He's so well-behaved.
- I didn't know if I could bring him.

I've had women breastfeeding here.

I can't, I had mastitis.

Better for you.
You can leave him with someone.

If they're available, but...

My sister was going to help me,

now she ignores me.

"She ignores me"?

What happened?

She got a girlfriend.

- Okay...
- They moved in together

and are marrying.

Want to marry someone you just met?
Fine.

But don't make promises, then disappear.

How did it make you feel?

- It's not right.
- Don't judge it.

I asked you to tell me
what it makes you feel.

Rage.

What else?

Frustration.

Disappointment.

Anger.

More, more...

Envy.

Why?

Because she can begin a new life plan.

It completely gets rid of dark circles.

You see what I see, right?

No, no.
I'm at a stage in my life

where I'd rather leave my comfort zones.
Shake it up a bit, be daring.

- Go a bit crazy...
- Yes.

How about we take the plunge
and go for NC20?

NC20, let me see.
That's quite a big deal.

- Yeah...
- NC20...

- No, maybe it's a bit too much.
- Right...

But hang on, hang on...

Maybe an NC20 with an NC13...

If we mix them,
maybe we'll find the right tone...

Hot, isn't it?

- You can't pull faces with a customer.
- I wasn't.

It's hotter over there.

Try her.

Don't act weird.

- Please.
- Okay.

Hi, good afternoon.
Welcome to Fresh.

Can I help you?

I'm here to apologise.

You're not my sister.

- What?
- Say "thank you" and smile.

- Now?
- Obviously.

Thank you very much.

Can you relax and not be so false?

Thank you, that's very kind.

And now you'll buy three products.

- Me?
- Yes, you.

- So your forgiveness has a price?
- The glasses you broke do.

I want this, this...
And this one as well.

No way, you'll buy these
more expensive ones.

Shall I apply them?

- I don't want you applying anything.
- But I will.

So, you're getting married?

Obviously, Mar?.

- Let me see your cheekbones.
- I'm glad.

- Thanks.
- You're rushing into it.

Totally.

You still don't know
if she's the woman of your life.

Seriously? "The woman of your life"?
How can you be so square?

Let's see those cheekbones! Like that.

Hiya!

What are you doing?

I didn't know we had a bag of frozen peas.

Do you like peas?

If you want me to make saut?d peas

with soy sauce, I do a mean dish.

You look really flushed.
Are you okay?

- What's wrong?
- I'm boiling hot.

We'll be late for the meal.

- Julia...
- What do you prefer?

Your car or the metro?

Cut it out.

The car is tricky, because...

If we don't find a place to park...

Not this one, huh?

What the hell is up with you?

Nothing, I went to the gynaecologist.

What's up? Are you all right?

I'm menopausal.

Does that change anything?

Like what? I don't know.
You're menopausal.

Exactly.

Exactly, I have the menopause.

Yes, and...

Well, it's good to know because...

Now we know why
I've had vaginal dryness recently.

Really? You have vaginal dryness?

Let's see...

Hey...

A lot of things
are going to happen, changes.

Yeah? Like what?

Well, I'm going to have...

...mood swings.

What else?

I'll have insomnia, too.

- And what else?
- Bloody hell!

My body will change.

I love your body, you know?

- Like it?
- Yes.

- Like it?
- Yes, don't stop.

- Yes!
- Tell me you like it.

I like it!

When are you going to teach me
line dancing?

- Whenever you want.
- You're all talk, no action.

I hear you paint.
Can you paint me sometime?

I've always wanted that.

I haven't actually painted for months.

Really?

- You can paint me, too.
- Being a painter

is a great way of being in the moment.

- Oh no.
- What?

Cut out the mindfulness.

It's all mindfulness to him.

We're eating? Mindfulness.

- It's true.
- Chatting?

- Mindfulness.
- Mindfulness.

- What is it?
- It's amazing, it's...

...total awareness of your thoughts
and bodily feelings.

It's about being in the moment.

- What? Can't I talk about it?
- Wait. Let's focus on this moment.

I spoke to Trabensol

and they said that the owners
are willing to sell it to us.

Hang on, I have photos.
We can start looking at the space...

- Are you buying a house?
- No, no.

We're building a care home.

For when we retire.

- Didn't Julia tell you?
- No...

Like a commune, but for old people.

- Don't call me old.
- For oldies.

Right back at you.

- Will you go there too?
- I just...

We started the project three years ago.

Before she met you.

Join, do!

- Sure.
- It's the future.

When you talk about retiring...

My brain sort of short-circuits.

We're just thinking ahead,
and what with all the cuts...

- Right.
- Care homes today...

It's a cool Plan B.

- Yes.
- So join in.

Sure.

- I need to pee, the loos are...
- On the left.

Okay, be right back.

A full-on day, right?

The menopause, a care home...

Oh my, oh my...

What will be next?

Why did I just find out you're planning
to live in an old people's home?

That isn't it.

It's a group of independent flats...

...I'll go when I'm around 80.

We're not even married
and you're planning to leave me

and piss off with your mates
and live in a hippy village.

No.

No. You'll leave me.

- What?
- Well, not now.

Obviously, we're getting married.
But...

When I get older...

you'll look for other options, fine,

there's no need to feel guilty,
I'd do the same.

What will happen when you're old

is that I'll be old too

and we'll end up
two old menopausal ladies.

Our fannies will dry out,
we'll have bunions,

and we'll have cream scones
for tea like a couple of old dears.

- What do you say?
- Old dears?

Why?

CO-HOUSING,
A LIFESTYLE

Of all those things,
the one I feel most envious about

is that they're planning something together.

They share a project.

Why does everyone have a life project
except me?

What's a lif...?

What's a life...?

What's a life project?

What Cris has, for example,

with Pablo.

They met, fell in love, shacked up,

they have two daughters...

Did they have a crisis?
Yes, but they're sorting it out.

I don't believe it!

I'd prefer your case
a thousand times more.

I'm with a couple who use their kids
to negotiate.

- And it sucks.
- Right.

I didn't even want to study Law.
I liked Marine Science.

Dad wouldn't let me.

I wanted to work for
Architectes sans fronti?es.

- Yeah?
- And here I am.

- Here we are.
- Here we are.

Hey...

Can I tell you a secret?

Sure.

I was totally convinced
you didn't like me.

Well that isn't true at all.

In fact, I quite like you.

I'm glad.
I like you too.

Oh...

All right,
I confessed something to you.

Now it's your turn to confess something.

- Okay.
- Go ahead.

Okay.

What?

My husband and I are opening up
our relationship.

- Wow!
- Wow!

But, sort of like...
hooking up with other people?

- Something like that.
- That is major.

- It's major.
- It's major.

How about a night cap somewhere else?

No, I can't. I have an early start.

- What time is it?
- Eleven.

- Eleven!
- Super late.

Just popping to the loo.

Hey, by the way...

I think this is really cool.

What is really cool?

Meeting up with colleagues
to let off steam.

Thanks, I mean it.

- Hi, honey.
- Hi.

Are the kids asleep?

Fed, bathed and sound asleep.

- Great.
- I'm fab, right?

Really great.

Five more years and we're even.

- I'll take a shower.
- Okay.

But don't get the wrong idea.

- Like what?
- Something or other.

Yeah, that I hate washing up.

- Okay, I'll hop in the shower.
- Okay.

Were you with someone?

You said not to tell you.

That's true.

- So it's on?
- Isn't that what we agreed?

Yeah, but it caught me by surprise.

I don't want details.

Okay, okay, okay...

All right, tell me about it,
but nothing after today.

I'm ready.

- Nothing happened.
- Okay.

I had a drink with a colleague.

Okay.
Then there's nothing to tell.

- Nothing to tell.
- So, end of story.

We're not looking for a hook-up
each week, right?

No, of course...

When it happens.

- Why the saucepan?
- I don't know.

- I'm really nervous.
- Me too.

Leave the pan.

- Crap!
- What a bitch!

Yeah, it was a gift from your mother.

If my Mom finds out, we're dead.

Sweetie.

- Not a word to Gran.
- Top secret.

That's it.

Why are you glued to your cell?

Let's see what's on the market.

This guy looks like Brad Pitt.

Excuse me, Brad Pitt is over 50.

- Whatever, he's a hunk.
- He's not a hunk.

- He's old.
- Mery...

- Got him.
- What?

Why's he here?

Same as you.

He posted sexy photos.

Let me see.

- Did you tap "like"?
- Yes.

But why?
This is my phone.

What is it with you?
He'll think it was me.

Great, now you can go to his place,
not like strangers.

Right, you two-timer...

Hey, mutual accord!
Plus, nothing happened.

You have a husband and lovers,
and I'm totally alone...

- Seen a lamp that you like, sweetie?
- No.

Run over there and take a look.

- If she heard, you're dead.
- She didn't.

- Excuse me.
- Yes...

- It's been discontinued.
- Oh dear.

And it was popular.

Here.

Let me see...

No!

CRIS: Hey, Pablo. How's your dinner?

I wait up for you or go to bed?

So, what you two got there?
Let's have a look...

Oh, that's so pretty!

What are you drawing, sweetie?

- Zombies?
- No.

Your boyfriends and girlfriends.

- Whose, sweetie?
- Yes, this is you and Daddy.

These are his girlfriends,
these are your boyfriends.

No, it isn't like that.

- Yes.
- Mommy and Daddy are a couple.

We have each other.

But Mar? said you had
lots of boyfriends and girlfriends.

- She didn't say that.
- Yes.

No, she said we had lots of friends.

Do you have lots too?

- Yes.
- You see?

Mommy and Daddy do, too.

- Okay?
- Okay.

- Do you know what's most important?
- No.

That we both love you to bits.

Time to go and brush our teeth.
Right, Martina?

Off we go, chop-chop!
Take her hand.

This way.

- I'll be right there, okay?
- Okay.

Did something happen?

Want me to tell you?

Something happened.
It's not important, but it happened.

And now they're better than ever.

Their marital crisis is helping them to...

strengthen what they've been building
together all these years.

That makes me envious, too.

- Yes?
- Hi.

- I've come for the lamp.
- Right. I've got it inside.

Sorry...

Do I know you?

I know who you are.

Got a lighter for me?

Funeral home?
Lighter?

I gave you a light...

Need a light?

Thanks.

I gave you my number.
You never called.

I didn't call you.

So...
Do you have the lamp?

Yeah, I want to sell it and...

I'm cooking.
Do you mind coming in?

- Oh...
- Do you?

- No, no...
- Fine.

Sorry for interrupting.

What about you?

Meaning?

You've talked about your sister,
your friend... And you?

How have you been all this time?

Well...

A lot of stuff happened.

- Got him, Mery.
- What?

- Why's he here?
- Same as you.

He posted sexy photos.

Let me see!

Did you tap "like"?

- Hang on a sec.
- What?

Nothing.

I'd rather you shove it in.

- I can do both.
- I know.

Are you sure?

- Yes, I want you to shove it in.
- Ok.

You see, after giving birth,

and a baby's head
is the size of a melon,

I had to have stitches
because of a tear.

I'm sort of freaking out
about penetration.

- It won't hurt you?
- I don't know. No, it won't.

I want it inside.
Just stick it in.

- What's up?
- Well you know...

All that talk about penetration,
scars and melons...

Right.

- There we go.
- No, wait a sec...

- Wait...
- Now...

- That was quick.
- Great.

Right?

- Ready?
- Yeah.

- Wait, slowly.
- Slowly.

- You're in charge.
- Okay.

Here goes...

- Does it hurt?
- Ouch!

A bit, but it's nice.

- Really?
- Yes, it's nice.

- So I stop?
- No, no. I want it in me.

Since when do you have Tinder?

Well, I take a look now and again.

What about when we met?

That means yes.
Fair enough.

- But we hardly saw each other.
- No, that's true.

Any good?

- I'm new to all this.
- There are good and bad spells.

Never as good as this, though.

No need to suck up to me.

Fancy some dinner?

I have to pick up Juanito.

He's at Cris' place.

I have a son, remember?

True enough.

Good, all sorted.

Great, Juanito.

XOS?: How's your day going?
Want a repeat?

- Hi.
-Hi, Gari.

Hi.

I'd rather you didn? come tonight,
I'm super tired.

I've had a headache all day,
I'll go to bed early.

Okay, but tomorrow is on.

- Yeah, sure, come by.
-Okay.

Okay.

- Bye, Mar?.
-Bye.

- Do you know what I really fancy?
- What?

A shower.

Okay.

Let's do it.

By myself.

Oh.

Starting a project with this guy?

Well...

More or less.

You see... It's not easy.

Mar?...

Why did you
come here the first time?

I thought I was depressed.

You realize you haven't talked
about your son at all?

I have other things going on too.

Let's try something.

- What?
- Look at him and tell me what you feel.

He's busy, best not.

Go on, try it.

Well, he's my son.

I think: "He'll need changing,
he'll cry.

He'll cry in the middle of this."

I didn't ask you that.

Tell me what you feel.

Time's nearly up,
someone'll come in and then...

There's nobody.

Nobody.

I don't want to, this isn't about him.

- It's about me.
- Want to leave like last time?

Or stay and see what happens?

Go on, look at him.

Breathe...

Take your time.

And tell me...

...what you feel.

Guilt.

Because...?

Because I don't feel anything.
