NOBODY'S LIFE

And here he's older,
but still young, with his mom.

He doesn't have a mom any more,
because she died.

Here, at the beach.

Here, with a tricycle
and a ball.

Here he's dressed
as a Roman with...

- His cousin Ana.
- His cousin Ana.

And a donkey.

And here, with his family.

And here with the White King,
Melchor.

And here with his classmates.

He's in the second row.

- Second from the left.
- Second from the left.

This is Emilio Barrero Sánchez
doing his military service.

And here he's with
Agata Moliner Pereda.

When they were dating.

And this is me, his son.
Sergio

Barrero Moliner.

Actually today would be great.

This morning?

Did your husband tell you it's
about the health insurance policy?

Perfect.

What if I come by around...

Fine, at 2:30.

Let me check my schedule...
Today's the 20th, right?

Kiss mommy and let's go.

That's perfect.

I have another visit

near Aravaca.

Doctor Arévalo 27, 6th floor.
Is that right?

Sergio, we're leaving.

Let's see...

That's near the old village,
right?

Okay, great. See you soon.

My kiss!

- You'll catch cold.
- No, I won't.

Give me a kiss!

Okay, come on.

- Dinner with Jose and Tina tonight.
- Tonight?

Try to leave the bank early.

Hey, my briefcase.

Go on, buckle up.

Life is a garden,
blossoming in spring.

Life is a party,
the biggest party of all.

You only live once,

so open your heart to all.

Life is a garden,
blossoming in spring.

My son works here,
in the Bank of Spain.

The bank of all banks.
The Bank of Spain.

A job with lots of
responsibility.

Emilio's in charge of...

He does international stuff
with Brussels and the Euro and...

So he's got a lot of
responsibility.

If he wanted, he could talk about
how important he is and all that.

But he's very modest and
never talks about his job.

And to think,
he works in the Bank of Spain!

He's an economist.

He studied economics
at university.

A very good student.
And a great son.

Sorry I'm late. The executive
meetings always run late...

Then tell them you have a family
and leave.

Just like that.

- Hi.
- Hello.

- Did you get wet?
- No, I parked right in front.

Smells great.

- Spoons?
- Right there.

Here, I'll serve the wine.

- And the kids?
- They've eaten.

They're rehearsing.

Why don't you help Agata
set the table?

I can do it.

We need water, to open the wine,
we need napkins...

Still rehearsing?

Who have we got under here?

Who is this bad little kid?

Daddy!

Who...?

It's the babysitter!
Her name's Rosana.

Emilio! Come to dinner!

Pharmaceuticals are on the upswing.
New vaccines, the genome...

- More coffee?
- No, honey.

I can invest it directly,
you know that.

Undeclared cash is no problem.
Better, actually.

- If you can afford it...
- They're asleep.

Sergio, too?

- Did they behave?
- Yes.

Have you paid her yet?

Me?

2,500.

- You came by moped?
- Yes.

- It's raining.
- I know.

Thank you.

- I'll give you a lift.
- It's hardly raining.

She'll kill herself.

And leave them here alone?

Don't worry about us.

It'll take no time.
Come on.

- Give us a hand.
- Leave it, I'll do it.

I'll be right back.

But we have to talk to them.

- It's okay, forget it.
- No way.

You want me to tell them?

Don't worry, I'll be fine.
Bye!

Bye.

Do you want to tell them
or should I?

- Their relation was always cold.
- You think so?

They always worried about work and
their kids, not about each other.

Maybe you and I...
I don't know.

Sometimes couples
fall into a routine...

We should go out more,
do more things...

- I like staying home.
- Talk more...

You never talk about your job
or any of your colleagues.

- They're boring.
- But I'd like to meet them.

- We've been through this.
- I know, but...

You're weird about this stuff.

See more people...

We see our parents, Tina, Jose...

And right before the kids' play.
You have to talk to Jose.

- What for?
- So he can tell you about it.

Maybe we can help.
We're his friends, right?

- You can talk to Tina.
- I intend to.

Tomorrow's Saturday.
Go and have a chat with Jose.

And remind him to send someone
about the sprinkler, will you?

Yes.

- Good night.
- Sleep well.

That girl Rosana isn't
involved in this, is she?

She's just a kid.

Yeah.

I met Emilio because he was Jose's
friend when we started dating

a long, long time ago.

They were very different.
And still are.

Emilio was... discreet,

somewhat timid,

and Jose talked more,
he was bolder, more aggressive...

more of a show-off.

My homelife is hell, Emilio.

Don't say that, Jose.

Tina hates me.
She's got it in for me.

What about you?

I don't know.
I love her, but...

Is there another woman?

- No. No way.
- Okay, okay.

So what will you do?

- Excuse me, have you got azaleas?
- Yes, there in back.

Thanks.

So what now?

Separation, for now.
I'm looking for an apartment.

I'm going to need some cash
for furniture, and for Tina...

Of course.

A couple million from
what you invested for me.

This isn't a good time, Jose.

When would you need it?

How about Thursday
after the kids' play?

This Thursday?

Is there a problem?

Not at all.

Fine.

I knew Emilio was the ideal
son-in-law the day I met him.

Not him, though.
He wasn't so sure.

What do you mean?

He doesn't remember, but I do.

And I was right.
Is he happy with Agata or not?

Yes.

- They're very happy.
- Yes.

- Talk about the investments.
- Right.

- Emilio handles our investments.
- And those of many friends.

Emilio.

- Have you got it?
- Yes.

Don't count it here.

- There's only 1,300,000.
- Yeah.

- We said two million.
- It's all I have undeclared.

I told you, the minimum
investment is 2 million.

- You only gave me 48 hours.
- You said you had it.

I don't know.

- Then give it back.
- No, no.

I'll make up the difference
myself.

It'd be a shame to miss out.

They still owe me
for the flat I sold.

- When will that be?
- Next week, maybe.

Whenever you can, or else...

I have to get back to the bank.

Wait, slow down.
How are Agata and Sergio?

Fine, excited about the play
tomorrow. You'll be there, right?

María needs some tests done.

What kind of tests?

Some sort of analysis.

- Is it serious?
- No, I hope not.

Go on, you're in a hurry.
Give Sergio an ovation for us.

Don't be upset,
but if we stay in your branches,

they might break and we'll fall.

- Your leaves are too dry for us.
- We'd better find another tree.

Please, please, Mr. Trunk.
I'm so very cold.

I'm a lonely, wandering worm.

I've no place to live

because I'm so small that I need
a home low to the ground

so I can go in.

Everyone come in my house.

Life is a garden,

blossoming in spring.

Life is a party,
the biggest party of all.

You only live once,
so open your heart to all.

Here.

- How much is here?
- One million.

The Swiss thing should come
through by the end of the month.

Oh, man...

No problem.

- You sure?
- I think so.

And the apartment?

I found a cheap one.

So it's permanent?

Daddy, can I sleep
at Gustavo's tomorrow night?

- What did your mother say?
- Yes!

I said we'll see.
Go find your sister.

- You see what happens?
- I'll be right back.

- They're my kids, too.
- So you abandon them?

Drop it. We've talked enough.

What did the principal want?

Nothing, I promised to help her
with some credit.

- But I forgot.
- Credit?

- For the school?
- No, to buy a home.

- What's wrong, Sergio?
- My ear hurts.

God, his ear.
Come here, honey.

He's got a fever.
Tomorrow we're going to the doctor.

No...

I promise he won't hurt you.
We've been before!

I don't want to, daddy.

Oh, please. Come here.

A brave kid like you afraid
of going to the doctor?

I'm not afraid. Besides,
it doesn't hurt any more.

You know what we'll do?
We'll go with daddy.

No, I can't.
I've got too much work...

Want to see daddy's bank?

- Agata...
- Yes.

We'll take daddy to work
on the way, okay?

- Yes.
- Yes!

Okay, champ.

I'll call you later from the office.
If that doctor hurts you...

- Okay?
- Shall I pick you up?

What about Sergio?
No, I'll take a taxi.

- You sure?
- Yes, my love. Right.

I'm off.
I've a meeting at 10:30.

- Hey...
- What?

Would you mind, please?

- See you later.
- Bye.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Where are you going?

Administration.

Here.

Your visitor's pass.

Thank you.

Those are useless.

They're from a course that finished
yesterday. I'll get you another.

Hello.

I'm Rosana.
The Muñoz's babysitter.

Remember?

Sure, hi.

You work here, right?

Here. This is the new one.

Thanks, Antonio.
Hope the kid's all right.

His son has otitis.

Jose said you worked here.

What brings you here?

A scholarship.
Well, I'm applying.

Great.

I want to study in London.

London?

But there's so much paperwork...

Well, we're a public institution...

Right, well...

I have a meeting.

Could you help me with this?

Sorry, but I'm late.

Where are you going?

Morning.

It was approved in the meeting.

Of course.

Of course I read it.

Fine, I'll call you later.
I have a...

Yes, okay. Talk to you later.

Yes?

Emilio Barrero.
I'm here about the scholarships.

What scholarships?

The bank scholarships.
In London.

That isn't this department.

Come in.

Excuse me.

What is it, Ramón?

Do you work here, sir?

- Who, me?
- He's here for a scholarship.

Your identification card?

Right here.

You have to wear it.
And these are private offices.

I didn't see any sign.

He'll show you where to find
scholarship information.

That's very kind of you, thanks.
I'm very sorry.

Don't mention it.

This way, please.

- A thousand apologies.
- Don't worry about it.

What's up, champ?

Did you cry?

Not even once?

You see, silly?

Of course.

Okay.

But you have to do
your homework.

Are you sure?

Fine.

Where do you think?
I'm at work, at the bank.

Sure.

I'll leave early if I can.

I'd better go,
I have a client waiting.

Okay.

No, I already told mom.

I love you too, sweetheart.

This one he brought
from Amsterdam.

This one my daddy brought
from Brussels.

And this one, too.

And this giraffe, from Paris.

And this little piggybank

he brought from...

- I don't remember.
- From Strasburg.

Right. My dad travels a lot
because he's an economist.

When I turn 40, like him,

I'll be an economist, too.
Or a racing driver.

Or both. That's it.

Sergio, honey.
Look what you did!

It was an accident.

Go on, step aside.
Let me see...

Bring a newspaper from the kitchen.
No, wait.

Don't step on it.
Stay still.

Let's see...

Hello?

Hurry, it's daddy!

Hey, champ.

How are you? All right?

- Yes.
- You're home early.

- How was work?
- Fine.

- What happened?
- The vase broke.

And the camera?

Eugenia asked to borrow it.
I was checking the batteries.

- Eugenia Ruiz?
- Yes.

What are you doing?
Don't film me.

- Why not?
- Because.

Agata...

Now, ladies and gentlemen,
the man who's afraid of cameras,

Emilio Barrero Sánchez!

Okay, fine.
You asked for it!

He killed him!

That's it.

- Did you film it?
- No.

- Erase it.
- No.

That girl Rosana called.

- What about?
- She'll call back later.

- She said she saw you at the bank.
- Yeah.

What?

Tina's babysitter sure is lucky.

In 10 years I've never seen you
at the bank.

Really? Women...

You're mine, kid.

You're in for it!

- Got a light?
- No, no. Sorry.

Emilio!

Sorry I'm late,
I had a meeting.

It's all right.
Would you like a drink?

No, thanks.
I can't stay very long.

I've got a ton of paperwork
to check for tomorrow.

So what is this about?

I told Jose that I'd seen you
at the bank

and he said you might be able
to help with my scholarship.

He told me to call you.

Scholarships are handled by

our Studies Department.

They're an independent branch
of the bank

and they don't like
the rest of us meddling.

I suppose it's to avoid favoritism
in the recommendations...

I don't want
a recommendation, just...

Jose said since you work there,

you could advise me

about how to apply.

It's all explained
in the brochures, right?

- Well, yes.
- They don't accept late entries,

or applications with
any missing documents...

- It is a public institution.
- Of course.

Anything else I can help you with?

No, that's it.

Thank you very much.
I'll keep the deadlines in mind...

- No, you didn't drink anything.
- No matter.

No, really.

What are you doing?

Nothing, just here...

- Give me a hand?
- Sure.

Do you have plans later?

No, why?

Because...

We have the house
all to ourselves...

To do what?

"To do what"...

What do you think?

"First I look at you.
Then I want you.

Later I kiss you.
And then...

I eat you up!"

That tickles!

You're not in the mood.

Well...

I thought not.

- Fine, let's finish this first.
- No.

You either want to or you don't.

- Come on, I want to.
- Well, now I don't.

Agata.

Besides, I have to call my mom
to see if her results came in.

Did you hear about Jose and Tina?

With two little girls...

Will you keep
babysitting for them?

I don't know.

Sure.

- You want some turrón?
- No, no.

How's the scholarship going?

So many people apply...
It won't be easy.

What's it for? To continue
your studies in London?

Yes.

- Economics?
- No, I'm studying sociology.

But the president's an economist
and he doesn't like sociologists.

Well.

I'll get it.

- Who's the president?
- Fabián Estapé.

- Hey, I know Estapé.
- Yeah?

He supervised my final thesis
and we became friends.

You're friends?

Sometimes we have dinner
when he's in Madrid.

He likes hearing gossip
about the bank.

I heard he's coming to Madrid
next week for a lecture.

Yeah, he mentioned that.

- Will he call you?
- I'm sure he will.

- To go out to dinner?
- Yes.

Would you introduce us?

I'd really like to meet him.

To show him that
sociologists aren't stupid.

No, forget it.

- You want to meet him?
- Really?

- He'd love to meet you.
- Yeah?

Sure, he loves pretty girls.

Thanks.

Once upon a time,

there was a diver who lived in
his diving bubble. It was round

and very pretty.

This man, who was a diver,
really liked his bubble.

But he had to watch out for

sharp things, like cacti,

starfish,

broken glass, knives...

...so that his bubble
wouldn't break.

Because if his protective bubble
were to break...

- He was a diver.
- Yes, a diver.

So he wouldn't be able to keep
living as he always had,

and he'd drown...

and his family and friends...

...would be very sad.

Because if their friend drowned

they'd never see him again.

- And if they never saw him again...
- What are you doing?

I was filming a story.

You shouldn't touch this camera.

- Can it be in the birthday video?
- We'll see.

- Who told you that story?
- Daddy.

Daddy?

Go on, time for bed.

Can't I wait for daddy?

He has a bank dinner tonight.
Go on.

- Hello.
- Good evening.

- We have a reservation.
- In whose name?

- Fabián Estapé. Is he here yet?
- No, not yet.

Would you like to wait inside?

Shall we?

- Yes.
- Your coat, please.

Thanks.

Go right in.

No, I haven't read it yet.

But don't tell him that.

Would he mind if I asked him
to sign it?

Not at all. He's very...

He loves to be recognized.

He even gets stopped
in the street in Barcelona.

Don't be nervous. He's charming.

Not very punctual, but charming.

- I'm going to wash my hands.
- Now?

Just one moment.

Good evening,
this is Mr. Estapé's secretary.

That's why I'm calling.

He isn't feeling well and he won't
be able to dine with Mr. Barrero.

No, it's nothing serious.

Could you pass a message
on to him?

Take note.

- He isn't here yet?
- No.

He'll be here any minute.
Traffic in Madrid...

Excuse me.
Mr. Estapé's secretary

just called to say that
he won't be able to make it.

- Oh, my.
- He asked me to pass you this note.

What?

"Scholarship granted".

You'll get your scholarship.

I haven't applied yet.

Yes, but when you do,
you'll get it.

- Will you be dining?
- Of course. Let's celebrate.

- Why not?
- It's decided.

It's on the third floor.
My parents went to Malaga

and left it to me.

Nice neighborhood.

Typical, isn't it?

Yes.

- Right.
- Wait, one thing.

Why don't I have Estapé
sign your book

before he goes back to Barcelona?

When you get it,
call me to come pick it up.

- Or should I call you?
- No.

You shouldn't bother
with all this...

It's no bother at all.

Okay, well...

Right...

I'm off.

Thanks for everything.

I had a great time.

Goodbye.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Why are you here?

It's signed.

How can he say this?
He doesn't even know me.

I told him what you're like.

"A juggling angel"?

Are you up here?

That's my graduation photo.
I look terrible.

Well, in my graduation photo...

I wore a toga. I looked great.

- When did you graduate?
- In '81.

Can I see?

No, no.

- Let me see.
- No, really.

Come on.

Want some coffee?

Estapé told me that though
you got the scholarship

your application
still has to impress.

Of course, it will.

I know how Estapé
likes things done.

Like I said, he supervised
my thesis. If you want,

- I can help.
- But you're busy.

I could get away at lunchtime,
or on a Saturday...

Shouldn't you be at home?

My homelife is hell.

My wife hates me.

She's got it in for me.

I can't take it any more!

I've told your husband
several times...

He's missed 4 months' payment.

I didn't... Four months?
How can that be?

The bank returns the bills.

That's very odd.

- I'll show you if you want.
- No, I'll talk to my husband.

Otherwise Sergio will be expelled,
which would be a shame because

he's so sweet
and so involved in class

and the teachers love him.

I'll talk to my husband tonight.

- Please.
- I will, don't worry.

How could you forget?

I changed accounts and the bank
started returning the bills.

- Hi, sweetheart.
- Daddy!

Hey, monster!

Sergio, your food'll get cold.
Go on.

They're going to expel him
from school!

- Don't be silly.
- They will if we don't pay!

See to it tomorrow.

Tomorrow's Saturday.
Monday.

She said she'd already mentioned it
to you several times.

Is that what you were talking about
after the play?

You said she asked about credit.

Credit and the fucking tuition!

I said I'd take care of it Monday.
That's it!

That's it!

Agata...

Where's mom?

She left.

- What do you mean?
- Yes.

Stay put. I'll be right back.

Agata!

Agata. Forgive me, my love.
Please forgive me.

Forgive me.

Things have been crazy
at work lately and...

I'm sorry.

No, it's my fault, too.

It's just...

I picked up my mom's x-rays today.

And?

There are spots on them.

Oh, God.

Does she know?

No.

- What did the doctor say?
- The specialist has to see them.

God, sweetheart...

Agata...

- When will the specialist see them?
- Tomorrow.

Hold on.

Duarte's cousin's an oncologist.
A good one.

I could show them to him
tomorrow.

What do I tell the specialist?

To wait.
One day is no big deal.

It's nothing serious,
you'll see.

- Can I have a kiss?
- Yes.

Are these the spots?

Yes.

The same as your mother's.

How long have you known?

Agata hadn't been feeling well
for some time,

and we went to the doctor.

- Does Sergio know?
- No, of course not.

Nobody knows.
And you're not to tell anyone.

No, no.

So what are you going to do?

There are tests...

But we can't afford them.

I've barely anything in the bank.

I gave you everything to invest.
Can't you take it from there?

Right now isn't a good time, dad.

God...

I have some savings
that I didn't want to touch...

- This is an emergency.
- Yeah.

Sure.

How much do you need?

How much have you got?

We transferred the money
to the school and took care

of the Visa bill.

- What about the lease on your home?
- That's taken care of.

- We're still getting bills.
- Yes, but...

- There was a mistake.
- Thanks, Carlos.

Please, I need this loan.

Too transparent.
Central won't approve it.

- If your salary were on account...
- I work on commission.

But you deposit it somewhere...

No, gardening is all cash-only.
That's the tradition.

Now that I'm out of the red,
couldn't we...?

My wife has cancer.

Of the liver.
It may have spread to the lung.

I'm sorry.

If there's metastasis...

My wife's dying of cancer
and you want the rent...

Wait one moment.

I spoke to the manager.
You have until Friday.

Otherwise we'll have to evict you.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

- You like it?
- I love it.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

It's beautiful.

"First I look at you.
Then I want you.

Later... I kiss you.

And then...

I eat you up."

Oh, my love...

Wait.

- Where are you going?
- Wait.

What's that?

- What is it?
- Open it.

Your graduation photo.

Where are you?

I'm not here.

- What do you mean?
- I was class of '82.

You said class of '81.

Did I?
No. Sorry, darling.

But I'm flattered that
you remembered my birthday.

Yeah, shitty luck.

Not at all, look!

- There's Jose, that tramp!
- Class of '82?

Yeah, class of '82.

Maybe Agata has it somewhere.
I'll find it for you.

- She keeps it for you?
- All that stuff. Papers, photos...

How can you keep lying to her
all the time?

- What's wrong?
- Isn't it time for you to go home?

Go ahead.

Open the door.

I'm really sorry. You're right.

I was wrong.
I thought it was '81.

Please forgive me.

All I want in this life is to be
with you. Please. I love you.

Are you sure?

I just want to be with you,
that's all I know. Okay?

You're sure?

I'm sure.

Anything else?

- This frying pan.
- Wash it by hand.

Tomorrow I'll buy detergent
for the washing machine.

Don't fold that, it's dirty.

Have you swept the floor?

What's wrong, Emilio?

Honey...

We'll be evicted on Friday if
I don't pay half a million pesetas.

By who?

The owner.

But it's our house.
My father made the down payment.

It's a lie.

What's a lie?

It's all a lie.

I don't work at the bank,

not the bank or anywhere else.

All my business trips,
my schedule, my briefcase,

my haste... It's all a lie.

That's why you couldn't call me
at work. There is no work.

There's nothing.

But...

What have we been living on
all these years?

On your income,

on the money your dad gave us
to buy the house,

and on all the investments
I fabricated to get your parents

and Jose and everyone else
to keep giving me money.

But it's all over now.

I've no money left,

I can't get any more,

nor do I want to.

All I know is,

the one true thing...

is I'm in love.

In love as I've never been before.

With Rosana.

Jose and Tina's babysitter.

I want to move in with her.

Don't tell Sergio.

Tell him I'm away on business.

That's it.

Agata?

Agata!

Surprise!

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

For he's a jolly good fellow...
which nobody can deny!

- A crown?
- For the king of the house!

Put it on! Put it on!

Great!

The cake! The cake!

The cake!

How handsome!

Who was it? You!

Are there enough candles?
Forty, good.

Go on, blow them out.

Great!

- Can we watch the video?
- First the cake.

Clear the way!

Now's the time. It's a safe
investment, in the long term.

A cancer research laboratory.
But I'd need the money right away.

I don't have that much
undeclared.

Then whatever you've got.

I'm a public servant.
I don't have cash.

- Excuse me.
- One second, Carlos.

It's a very important question:
can you still get it up at 40?

Come on,
I'm talking to Carlos here.

It's an important question.

How about Lolo?
Try your brother.

I doubt he'll be interested.

Don't you want to see
the video, daddy?

Sure...

Yes, let's see the video.

All set.

- Put on your crown.
- Go on.

Okay, okay.

All right, go ahead.

- Just hit play?
- Yes.

This is Emilio Barrero Sánchez,
when he was just a baby.

Nice looking kid.

And here he's older,
but still young, with his mom.

He doesn't have a mom any more,
because she died.

Emilio, turning 40 is wonderful.

She looks like a Broadway star!

Ever since I turned 40, way back...
whenever, I feel better than ever.

I'm happier, more relaxed,
I feel more mature,

more attractive, sexier...

and I meet more men.

But try not to meet any women.

You're my sister's husband.

We've been married for 12 years.

12 very happy years for me.

And...

I'm very in love,
he's very in love with me...

We have an absolutely
beautiful child...

and we've never had a single fight.

If he didn't work so much...

I don’t like to sleep alone

because there are thiefs
and murderers

and praying mantis' around.

But mommy says

that nothing will ever happen
to either of us

because daddy can handle anything.

I think even a praying mantis.

My daddy travels a lot
because he's an economist.

When I'm 40like he is,
I'll be an economist, too.

Send daddy a big kiss!

Daddy!
Now one from mommy.

- Don't film me.
- Why not?

Because!

Agata...

You're shameless.

...Emilio Barrero Sánchez!

Okay, fine. You asked for it!

That's it.

- Let's hear a speech!
- No.

Yes!

Go on!

Okay, fine.

Here, little prince.

Knock 'em dead!

You all know I'm not much
of a talker, but...

I'd like to say a couple things.

First, I thank you all

for this wonderful party

and this very moving videotape.

It was a surprise,

one I didn't expect.

The second thing
I wanted to say is...

Tomorrow I leave for London.

Yes,

they told me earlier
at the bank.

They're sending me to London
for a week to train for...

Well, it isn't official but
it looks like a promotion.

I wanted to tell you in person,
not on the phone.

But when I got home
everyone was here.

Why were you in the car so long?

We were watching through the blinds,
wondering what you were doing.

I was thinking

about the training course
and my future at the bank.

- Did you suspect about the party?
- No.

Not even the day you saw me
with the camera?

No.

I was sure you'd suspect
something.

Not at all. You did great.
I had no idea.

And did you like your gifts?

Yes, very much.

What about this?
You like it?

I'm very tired, Agata.
It's been an eventful day.

Go on, put on your crown.

That's it.

How about it?

- I can take you to the airport.
- The bus is fine.

Come on, champ.
Give daddy a kiss.

Go on!

Take care of mom.

- Got everything?
- Yes.

- Your ticket?
- Yes.

Cell phone?

Cell phone.

- Don't forget to call.
- I won't.

- Give me a kiss.
- It's a no-parking zone.

Go on.

Right. See you soon.

Taxi!

Hi.

Hi.

Why are you here?

I told Agata everything.

- Everything?
- Everything.

I told her it's over.

I packed some stuff

and came over.

And you're moving in?

Of course. Right?

Well, I was just leaving.

Here, take these.

Make yourself at home
and I'll see you later, okay?

Fine, see you later.

Westminster's Abbey.

And the Parliament Building
next door is incredible.

It's like... gothic.

Yeah, and that clock tower.
Big Ben.

No, I'm looking right at them.

I'm in a bank by the river.
You know, the Thames.

Well... no, it's a bit wider.
Yeah.

Yeah, it's foggy.
There's tons of fog.

Straight from the airport
to the meeting.

Of course I'm thinking of you.
Is he there?

Put him on.

I'll call you later.
I love you.

He loves animals.

How cute.

I always bring him one
when I travel.

Yeah?

Last time I brought him
a cow from London.

A cow?

But not a mad cow,
it was a piggybank.

You love him a lot.

Yes. He's...

- A doll.
- Yes.

But...

besides that he's...

the most real thing I have.

Besides you, of course.

But Sergio is...

the truest thing I've ever done.

- I spoke to him today.
- Yeah?

He asked when I'd see him.

Go on, smoke.

Tasty.

Hurry up!

100, 200, 300, 400,
and 500 thousand.

- There you are.
- Fine.

- The problem is solved.
- I hope so.

There's your receipt.

Thank you.

Has your wife's

situation changed at all?

Your wife.

The same. Nothing's changed.

Right. Thank you very much.

No.

I told you already, I can't.

Why the hell do you think?

I can't leave the office
right now.

I'm slammed with work.

Yeah, well...

We're in mid-campaign
and we can't handle it.

No, my boss is upset with me.

I'll call you later
and we'll have more

time to talk, okay?

Fine, see you later.

- It isn't there, I'd have heard it.
- Maybe nobody called me.

I did.

- When?
- A little while ago.

- What about?
- About my scholarship.

And to say that...
If you let me call you at work...

They don't like us receiving
personal calls.

You understand? That's why I have
a cell phone. Or had one.

Let's go, honey. You'll be late.

Come on.

- Bye.
- Kiss.

I forgot my helmet!

Here you go, darling.

When you find your cell
check the voicemail.

Okay.

Will you be here in an hour?

No, I'll be at the bank.

- Can we meet for dinner?
- I'm having dinner with Montesinos.

- I'm not invited?
- It's for work, silly.

- Will you mention my scholarship?
- Yes. I'll call you later.

- Fine.
- Give me a kiss.

Another one.

- Another one.
- Go on, get out of here.

Bye.

Hi, honey. How are you?

What?

How did they get in?

Through the kitchen door.

No, just jewelry.
They broke the piggybank but

they didn't take anything.

No, I haven't told Sergio.

Well, I'll say I broke it.

All right, just relax.

I was nervous before
but I'm better now.

Of course.
Can I call you tonight?

Why?

Then I'll call tomorrow.

Big kiss.

Me, too.

He said not to touch anything
and to sleep at my mother's.

But she's in no shape
for that right now.

And some of the jewelry was hers.

How about my place?
We'll have dinner

and you can stay over.
The girls would love to see Sergio.

Where will we sleep?
Your place

- is empty.
- I have mattresses.

I bet there's no food.

We'll order pizza.

I don't like pizza.

Even better.
We'll order pizza for the kids

and we'll go out to dinner.
My treat.

- And leave the kids alone?
- No.

We'll call a babysitter.

A babysitter? What babysitter?

We're just going for a drink.

- Can we watch TV?
- First dinner, then to bed at ten.

Be good. And brush your teeth.

- Is that the pizza you like?
- There's more in the kitchen.

- I want more.
- We'll be right back.

- My husband's out of town.
- In London.

- Go to bed when Rosana says.
- Bye.

Bye!

- That's for me.
- No, for me!

My daddy will bring me
a gift from London!

Taxi!

How about a cocktail?

We told Rosana
we'd be home early.

Don't worry,
the kids'll be asleep.

And you're in rare form.

I can't help it.

Imagine that.

Let's go.

Wait. I have something
to tell you.

- Don't.
- Why not?

You already know?

More or less.

Agata, I just...

I think about you all the time.
Since way back.

I'm married, Jose.
To your friend Emilio.

What do you want me to do?

Pay the bill and take me back,
I want to take Sergio home.

You're not staying over?

We'd better not.

Nothing will happen.

I don't know.

Wait, I'm going down, too.

- But he's asleep.
- He'll go right to bed.

- Daddy!
- Go on, Luisa's calling you.

Goodbye.

Our house got robbed.

He says it isn't safe
to sleep there, but...

Robbed?

- Your house?
- He doesn't know.

- And your husband?
- He's in London on business.

- He knows about the robbery?
- Yeah, he wanted to come back.

But I said no.
It's an important training course.

He'll be traveling a lot.

You have one voicemail message.
First message:

First I look at you,
then I want you.

Later I kiss you,
and then I eat you up.

End of message.

We're home, honey.

Now you go and pee.

Come on.

That's it.

Be right back.

Who's there?

What is it?

- You scared me. Why are you here?
- Why do you think?

I couldn't stay in London
will all this going on.

Why did you come back?
When did you get in?

I came straight from the airport.

I saw a light on and thought
they'd come back. Where's Sergio?

- In the bathroom.
- What about your mother's?

We didn't end up going.

Hi, sweetheart. Were you asleep?
Time for bed.

Where's the cow?

I'll give it to you tomorrow.
Go on, pee.

Where's your suitcase?

You won't believe it.

- It seems they lost it.
- You don't say.

- I have to call.
- Shit.

- All set?
- Yes, all set.

Come on, honey.

- We ate pizza.
- Yeah?

Come on, sweetie.
Call the airport.

See if they found it.
Come on, let's go to bed.

Someone must be in charge there.

Put him on.

Then find him.

Emilio Barrero Sánchez,
I already told you.

From London.

- Coffee?
- Yes.

What?

Of course I'd recognize
my suitcase.

Are you aware of the time?

No, it isn't having to go there.
The problem is I work tomorrow.

Fine, then who do I ask for?

And what's your name?

Manuel Montesinos.

Fine, in one hour.

No, I'm the one who's sorry.

- What?
- I have to go to the airport.

At this hour? They're nuts.

- Where was it?
- Montesinos had it.

I'd left it in his office.
He brought it with him.

I was going to call you, but
we got to talking economics and...

- I wasn't here anyway.
- No?

- I was babysitting.
- That's great.

At Jose's house.

- Yeah?
- With Sergio.

- My Sergio?
- Yes.

He says you're in London.

Yes, we decided not to tell him
right away.

Your wife says
you're in London, too.

You spoke to Agata?

She doesn't know
you're here with me.

No. She'd never accept it.
She wouldn't leave us alone, Rosana.

But you said you'd told her
about us.

I did, but without saying
it was you.

Your house was broken into
this morning.

My house? By whom?

Thieves.

That kid.
He's obsessed with that stuff.

Always the same story.

That they came in through
the kitchen, stole jewelry...

The truth is...

Isn't that what he said?

Yes.

I don't know if it's for attention,
or if he's showing off...

I don't know how I put up with it.
Shall I get the light?

- Good night, my love.
- Good night.

- I love you.
- Me, too.

Going to Barcelona?

Yes, I already told you.

- So early?
- I have a 9:30 meeting.

Why didn't you tell me before?

They told me yesterday, and between
the cell phone and Montesinos...

It's just the weekend.

Why send you?

It isn't official,

but it looks like a promotion.

They never quit.

I'll try to see Estapé in Barcelona
about your scholarship.

- Are you all right?
- Yes. Sleepy.

What would I do without you?

- Bye, sweetheart.
- Bye.

My daddy isn't afraid of anything.

And if he's here, the thieves

will never come in.

He won't go to London.
That's where he got me

this cow, and it's a piggybank.

Like the one mom broke
while cleaning.

The other one was a pig.
There.

What are you doing?

A video surprise!

- Help with the tree?
- The Christmas tree?

- If you don't want to...
- Wait, daddy!

- Need a hand?
- No, it's ready. Come on.

Oh, daddy!

- Can I make one?
- Yes, darling.

Look.

First I fold it.

See?

Like this.

- Then I...
- I know, let me try.

Fine, you do it.

First I fold it.

Good, that's it.

- Then I take the scissors.
- That's right.

"Later I kiss you,
and then I eat you up".

- Where did you hear that?
- From Rosana.

Rosana who?

The babysitter.

Did I do it right?

Yeah, fine.

- How are the stars going?
- Great.

What?

Nothing.
Here, I'll finish up.

I've got a call to make.
You two hang them.

- Okay.
- Good.

Is it cold in Barcelona?

Yeah, it's chilly here.

Where are you calling from?

Which hotel?

And where's that?

Are you having dinner
with Estapé?

Will you mention my scholarship?

Tell him I really loved his book.

Will you tell him?

Of course I think of you.
All day long.

Me, too.

Bye.

How pretty!

- Look, daddy. I cut this one.
- It's the best one.

- Honey, bring daddy a beer.
- Sure, fine.

Emilio.

We were at Jose's the other day.

Yeah?

What for?

To get Sergio's mind
off thieves and all that.

Jose and I went out for dinner.

- How was it?
- Fine, just a quick bite.

The kids stayed with that girl
with the scholarship.

You remember her?

Yeah. Her name was Rosa, right?

- Rosana.
- That's it.

- She said she'd get the scholarship.
- I don't know.

Didn't you help her with it?

The other department handles it.
Sergio, where's my beer?

- So you haven't seen her.
- Who?

- Rosana.
- No.

- Why all the interest in her?
- I don't know.

You don't think that
she and Jose...

Jose?

Well, I don't know.
I doubt it.

- I opened it myself, daddy.
- Thanks, honey.

- No. Not in the class of '82.
- What about in '83?

Not here, either.

- When did he register?
- I don't know.

He's never studied here.

What about the promotion?
Wasn't the training involved?

Yeah, but they made him
another offer.

Now he'll spend half the week
in Barcelona.

He prefers it to spending
so much time in London.

Barcelona's closer.

And...

I might have to visit clients
in the late afternoon

and with Emilio away
I need a babysitter.

Have you got
that girl Rosana's number?

I think so.

Wait, I'll write it down.

- You want me to write it?
- Okay.

She's cute, isn't she?

I don't know.

You don't like her?

She's just a kid.

Besides...

You know exactly who I like.

Economist? Accountant?

No.

Or whatever...
Doesn't he work here?

Barranco, Barrientos,
but no Barrero.

- Are you sure?
- Very.

Sorry, my mistake.

And who wins between
you and two lions?

- Who do you think?
- You.

Give Willy a scrub.
There.

And between two hyenas
and ten gorillas and you?

- Well?
- You.

- And between 25...
- Now your head.

- No, not my head.
- Come on, Sergio.

- Agata!
- Yes?

- Which shampoo do I use?
- The blue bottle.

- Did you hear me?
- Yes.

Which blue bottle?

I'll be right up!

- Are you finished?
- Almost.

Here.

Wait, let me button you up.

Let's go, we're late.

Go on, get your backpack.
Get moving!

Emilio...

I may have to go to Barcelona later.
I'll let you know.

Bye, mommy.

Bye, honey.

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

I'll call you later.

Can I come in?

Have you got anything to tell me?

About what?

How long have you been together?

It's a lie.
Emilio was lying to me.

About his family?

Emilio's a liar.

Sure, I know that now.

He isn't what you think.

He doesn't work at the bank,
or any of that.

What do you mean by that?

It's all a lie.
Nobody knows who he is.

London, Barcelona, his career,
it's all a lie.

- What are you saying?
- His whole life's a lie!

It's all a lie.
He's been lying to you all along.

Your whole life is a lie.
And you didn't see it.

Shut up! Shut up!

Call the bank.

- He can't receive personal calls.
- He doesn't work there.

Meet him there.
See if anyone knows him.

This isn't Rosana.
It's Agata, I need to see you.

Agata?

Sorry, I'm in the middle
of a meeting.

What's it about?

Is it that urgent?

Fine, there's a bar
on the corner...

Why at the bank?

In 15 minutes?

Good morning.

Administration, please.

I'm supposed to meet my wife here.
Agata Moliner.

She arrived two minutes ago.

Right. Thanks.

Hi, sweetheart.
What's going on?

You tell me.

What?

You've nothing to say to me?

You mean the girl?

I'd rather not here.
There's a bar downstairs.

A colleague could overhear.

What are you doing?

Waiting for a guard.

What for?

To see if he knows you.

Agata, wait.

You don't work here, right?

Nobody knows officially, but...

Nor are you an economist.

What?

What about my jewelry?

- Agata, please! Are you crazy?
- What have we been living on?

Where are my parents'
investments?

And yours'?

And Jose's?
And everyone else's?

Poor Sergio.

You're everything to him.

You don't understand.

My God.

You're my husband.

That girl was right.

Rosana knows, too?

You don't know what you've done.

Agata...

I never want to see you again.

Stay away from the house.

Stay away from Sergio.

Go.

Anywhere, just go.

Your son will be crushed
when he finds out.

Please don't tell him.
Sergio mustn't know.

We never want to see you again.

Your graduation photo?

From university?

Yeah, to have it framed.

We don't do frames here.

I know, but you mentioned
a place nearby,

where they did the photos
of Sergio.

- Aurelio's Frames?
- I don't know.

I don't remember.

Maybe María picked it up.
Have a look in back.

I doubt it. Are you okay?

Yeah, fine.
Go on, have a look.

All right, I'll go see.

Maybe she picked it up.

How is she?

We'll see after the chemotherapy.

She'll be fine, you'll see.

In Geneva I stopped by the bank
where I invested your money.

Yeah?

They expect a sharp rise
before the end of the year.

Wouldn't that be lucky,
for once.

I don't see anything.

I'd have seen it.

Your graduation photo?
I don't think I've ever seen it.

- I could be wrong...
- All that travelling.

Yeah, probably.
Anyway, I'm off.

- Give my best to María.
- And mine to Agata and Sergio.

It can't be. He said they were
through the Bank of Spain.

He doesn't work there, Jose.
That's a lie, too.

How much did you give him?

I don't know, all in all...
about 12 and a half million.

Jose, sweetheart!

You've lost it all.

Son of a bitch!

- Where is he now?
- I don't know.

- You don't?
- I told him I'd never see him again.

Well, I'd sure like to see him.
Damn right...

- You didn't know anything?
- How could I?

- He went to work everyday...
- He wasn't going to work.

- Then where?
- I don't know!

- You weren't suspicious?
- No!

- You're his wife!
- And you're his friend!

Friend? I can see that.

- Who are you calling?
- Sergio's school.

Yes?

Sergio Barrero?
No, his father just picked him up.

Just a minute ago.

All right, goodbye.

And I'm not going to school
tomorrow, either?

No.

- Or the day after tomorrow?
- No.

And what will I do?

- You'll be with me.
- At the bank?

No. Somewhere else.

In London?

No, not there either.

Why did you throw it away?

We won't need it
where we're going.

Daddy, can I eat all the candy?

Sure, son.

- You want to watch a video?
- Yes, from the party.

- The one from the party?
- Yes.

This is Emilio Barrero Sánchez,
when he was just a baby.

You're not going to watch?

I'll be right back, sweetie.

And here he's older,
but still younger, with his mom.

He doesn't have a mom any more,
because she died.

...he would drown
and his family and friends

would be very sad.
Because his friend the diver...

would have drowned,
and they'd never see him again.

And if that happened...

What are you doing?

- What's that for?
- We're watching the video, mommy.

Why is Sergio here?

Don't hurt him.

He can't know.

You see that, mommy?

He'll never know.

He can't know
his father's a lie.

I won't tell him.
I'll never tell him.

I'm so tired.

I've been lying for 20 years.

Lying to everyone.

It all started with
one stupid lie.

20 years of lying,
watching what I say,

what I feel, how I react...

to not reveal myself.
To not give myself away.

Don't hurt him.

And suddenly I meet Rosana.

And after so many years, finally
something real happens to me.

Beyond my control.

Leave, Emilio. Please leave.

For the first time in years

I'm telling the truth.

It's not so hard.

But it's too late.

Who are you?

Nobody.

Sit with him.

Please...

- What's wrong, mommy?
- Nothing.

What's wrong with mommy?

Watch the video.

Send daddy a big kiss!

Daddy!
Now one from mommy.

You won't tell him, right?

I'm sorry, my love.

What are you doing?

- Don't film me.
- Why not?

Because!

...the man who's afraid
of cameras...

What's wrong, mommy?

Okay, fine.
You asked for it!

He killed him!

What is it, mommy?

That's it.
