["Round Round" by Sugababes playing]

Let's see. It all starts 11 months after the wedding of Carmen and Borja.

♪ Round, round, baby… ♪

[Valeria] Nerea has made it official with Georgina.

They're still like day and night,

science and arts, liquids and solids, but they love each other a lot.

-[door opens] -[phone alarm rings]

REMINDER - MEETING 10:00 OKAY

-Gio. Gio, move it. -[door closes]

Gio, get up. Let's go. Let's go.

We're running late and we've gotta make the bed. Hey, come on.

Let's go. Move it.

Whew! Did something die in here?

Just one sec. One sec. We've gotta air the room out.

-Great. It's time to work. -[Georgina] I'm off.

[Valeria] Lola and Rai are still together, and they are getting serious.

He's in the last year of his arts degree.

They don't live together, but Rai spends a lot of time over at Lola's.

Don't worry, I'll take care of you next, okay?

[laughing]

GET YOUR FIGURE BACK

[Valeria] Gonzalo was born in winter,

and he is the cutest little thing you've ever seen in your life.

WE MOVE YOUR PERSONAL THINGS

[Valeria] They had to move. They're both wrecked.

-Especially Carmen. -Want your pacifier?

Understandable. She has a baby attached to her boob.

-Hey, hey, hey, buddy. -[Valeria] So now we see them less often.

They don't leave the house.

♪ Round, round, baby… ♪

HOW CAN YOU LOVE A CHILD SO MUCH? THE LIFE OF THE PARENTS ALSO CHANGES

[Valeria] And me? Well, I'm very happy with the decision I made.

I love Bruno so much.

He's here on weekends when he doesn't have Aitana,

and I visit him whenever I can.

There's nothing quite like feeling safe

in a relationship this relaxed, calm, and…

[Chus] And boring.

Look, you know, I'm thrilled all of you are happy. That's obvious.

For life, it's great. For the novel, though, not useful at all.

Well, it's not easy to constantly come up with material.

Valeria, your second book is flying off the shelves.

-Now's the moment to really push. -[sighs]

Yeah, but, Chus, one novel a year is too much pressure.

Well, fine. Then don't work autobiographically.

You can let the fictitious Valeria free.

And in the meantime, go on reading with your boyfriend on the sofa.

Hmm.

BASED ON THE NOVELS BY ELÍSABET BENAVENT

[Nerea] Mm, fresh air.

[Valeria] Mmm. It's cold.

[Lola] So, who thought this was a good plan?

[Valeria] Here we go.

[Lola] Uh, I know I've already asked this, but could someone please explain to me

what exactly we're doing here and whose idea this was?

[Nerea] Enough, enough, enough. It's a different way

to spend time together, that's all.

[Lola] No, we could be at a bar relaxing,

rather than out here freezing our tits off.

-[Valeria] Do you think my life's boring? -Boring? Your life's totally normal.

I don't get these people who are living life to the max and not settling down.

But come on, what's living to the max? Is that anti-mosquito?

I don't know. You need some excitement at least once in a while.

My novels have always been really personal.

Making them fictional just feels strange.

-That's good for mosquitos, there. -Oh, but does it need watering?

-It's a plant. What do you think? -That I'll murder it for sure.

Hey, girl, just make it up. Just give the people what they want.

Make her get back with Víctor and screw like they used to.

Bruno and I have… quite a good sex life.

-Thank you for asking. -No, no, naturally.

Hey, is there anything you can do to help them live longer?

Just don't let them near you.

Yeah. I just think that whenever you talk about your life with him, you…

Mmm, it's not like you were with Víctor.

-With Víctor it felt more like you were-- -Insecure, you're saying?

-No self-confidence? -Thank you.

It's hard when we're traveling back and forth.

It can be difficult to stay as connected, you know?

But I think we just have to be a little more imaginative.

-[Lola inhales] -Darn right.

-[Lola] Look, I don't understand why-- -I'm sorry, ladies.

-Oh man! -[Carmen] I'm sorry.

[Lola] You chose this place.

But crap ran down his leg right as we were leaving.

She's living to the max too, huh?

-Hey, why all the attitude, huh? -Problems with my writing.

-[Carmen] Oh. -Ooh!

-Oh, yeah! -[Lola chuckles]

-Look at him! Wow. -[Lola] I could just eat him up.

[Nerea] He won't stop growing.

When he's not screaming, shitting or eating, he's absolutely precious.

Ah, so, like, when he goes to sleep then?

-Is that it? -Yeah.

[Valeria chuckles] And how much longer are you on leave?

-[Carmen] One more month. -Oh.

-Will it be hard to go back? -Hard. Mmm.

-Totally. -[Valeria] Oh.

-Bad, very bad. -Yeah.

It'll be tough to be separated from him for sure.

-Mmm. Sure. -Uh, I think you forgot your stroller.

-[Nerea] Hey! -Huh?

-[Nerea] Can I push it? -Uh… Sure, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, of course you can. Sure.

-[Valeria] I need information for a novel. -[chuckles] Hello!

[Carmen] Sure, just ask.

-[Valeria] How's sex after motherhood? -[Carmen] Good!

Great. Yeah.

-Good! -[Lola] Good, good. And fucked?

You keep a little human alive and see how much energy you have to give.

-[sighs] -[Valeria] Okay, look.

I'll bring these flowers back home, then Bruno comes this weekend.

-[Lola] Mmm? -A weekend full of adventure and passion.

And big sparks.

SPARK

[Lola laughs]

[clears throat]

-Okay. Um, we've all got our plants, then? -Yes.

-Yeah! -I'll grab an artificial one over there.

[upbeat Latin brass music playing]

[children chattering]

[music stops]

[Rai] Hello.

Guess you forgot.

I mentioned I wouldn't have an office for a day

because they were refurbishing.

-Right? -[Lola] So…

[Rai] You told me we could have the class here.

[Lola] Uh…

[Rai] They're just doing a creativity exercise right now.

They're supposed to just make stuff and not… not give it much thought.

-Not much thought. For sure. -Hi.

I have to caca.

-[Rai] Oh. -Great.

-[music resumes] -Uh…

How long are they gonna be around here?

'Cause I've gotta do a whole bunch of translation work.

What? [chuckles] No need to turn into such a Scrooge.

We'll be quiet, and besides, come on, they're super cute.

Not my records.

No. Okay.

I'm gonna be in the bedroom just working.

And then I'll have no clue about what's going on,

and you… keep an eye on them.

Yeah. I'll take care of it.

-Okay. -Great.

[Rai] Look, we have… we have some new brushes here, too.

Uh…

You're still here.

-[Rai] Uh, continue, continue. -Do you know where the bathroom is, honey?

Too late.

Here, we've got some water for cleaning your brushes.

Folks, how about sitting down a minute?

And how about maybe painting with a color that we haven't used before?

-Rai. -[Rai] What do you think?

-Sound good? -[softly] You better deal with her.

[Rai] Oh boy.

Ah, well.

Okay, keep painting. One sec.

[music stops]

Ugh.

[sighs]

[door opens]

[Borja] Sh.

-[sighs] We've done it. We've done it. -[laughs]

-Finally! -What's that?

Ah. Well, this is a houseplant that purifies the air.

Put it near the changing table because whoa.

-[laughs] -[Gonzalo cries]

[Carmen groans]

[both] One, two, three.

Fuck, yeah! Your turn.

[Gonzalo continues crying]

[Gonzalo cooing]

-[Carmen] Babe. -Sh, sh, sh. Hey, hey.

-What's this? -The pitch for the cream campaign.

You're gonna wake him up. Just put it back.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but… but are you really gonna use these dark colors? I mean…

Do we have to do this right now?

Because it's a line of masculine products, we use dark colors, right?

-Hmm. Yeah. -[Borja sighs]

Sure, but that's the exact reason why it's better to go in another direction,

because all the creams for men already come in dark colors.

Come on. Are you for real here?

A new kind of cream for a new kind of masculinity.

Is there no other time to talk about the fucking…

R… Repeat that, please?

-A new kind of cream, huh? -Yes.

For a new kind of masculinity.

-I like it. [laughs] -Really?

Yeah. I'm allowed to use that at the meeting?

-Oh, sure. Absolutely. -Yeah? [sighs]

-Great, thank you. -Of course.

-Please go now, though. -Uh, yeah. Sorry.

-I'm going. Yeah. Sorry. -[Borja sighs]

-[Gonzalo cooing] -[Borja shushing softly]

There you go, baby. Oh.

Yeah, there you go. Yeah.

[gasps]

[snorts]

-Do you want to orphan our son? Go! -No, no.

-The font isn't right. -Move. Go. What?

-[Carmen] Babe, it's just so ugly. -Go away.

-[Carmen] Who even made this? -Go on.

If you close the windows, you won't hear a thing.

-And the room's right here. -[Nerea] Hmm.

[Georgina chuckles]

The first one is Juan's and at the far end is mine.

-The decor is… -[woman chuckles]

The stuff you can take off the wall with a wave of your hand?

-[Nerea] Hmm. -I actually painted those.

[Nerea scoffs]

-What's the matter with the decor, though? -Uh…

[Nerea] Cleaning? How do you deal with that?

-[woman] We just do what needs doing. -[Nerea] Oh.

-[scoffs] -[Georgina] What's wrong?

For me, there's no question about how important it is to clean.

Well, fortunately, we're pretty tidy here.

-The same as you. -[Nerea] Mm.

[woman] Besides, you scratch my back, and I scratch yours.

I don't have an itchy back, though. Hmm?

What's your orientation?

I'm straight, and, uh, Juan is gay.

[all laughing]

It's… I'm just… I'm joking.

-Yeah? -Yeah, okay.

[woman] I… I have no idea, but I mean, it's very bright.

-As you can see. -Mmm. Yeah.

In that case, why is it that this poor plant needs a drink of water? Hmm?

Um… How about we see the kitchen? Huh?

Just us. What are you doing?

You can learn a lot about someone by the way they treat living things.

Come on, are you serious? It's just a plant.

You would have a very different tune if it was a dog.

Look, it's a really clean apartment, it gets plenty of sun,

the neighborhood rules, and the girl seems to be sweet.

Sweet? That's what you always hear about psychopaths.

And, I mean, the kitchen's disgusting. Just look around.

I don't think you have any interest in sharing an apartment with strangers.

I know you, Nerea, and I know you're willing to go a step further.

Mm.

There's only one person that you wanna live with.

Yourself. Am I right?

Girl, you clearly need to live alone.

Your rules, your cleaning schedule, your everything.

-I was sure you were going to ask me-- -You can afford it.

Hey! You're gonna live alone!

Or…

[Georgina] Mmm!

Just you and your cactus.

-Bye. -[whispers] Oh my God.

I wanted to talk to you because I've noticed you've been quite focused lately.

Oh yeah?

Yeah, your translations are coming in early for once.

True. I used to go out more.

Getting old, I guess.

I'm really impressed with your work, Lola. I'd like you to take the lead

on the conferences coming up about the climate.

[Lola] I'd love to. How do I start?

[Marisa] Right now, there's a possibility of promotion.

Ah… Like what, exactly?

-There's potential for a nice salary bump. -Great, great.

All that depends on how you do.

In the meantime, the two of you will build out your team.

Boy, that's awesome, because I've got some names…

-But wait. "Two of you?" -You and Quique. Uh, Quique…

When you were on vacation, Quique took care of some of the conferences

and everything went very well.

-So he'll bring you up to date. -I'd be happy to.

-Very cool. -Granting access.

-Please. -There. Okay, get to work.

Okay.

-Got it. -So… going after that promotion, are you?

It's a bit early to be thinking that way, wouldn't you say?

I think it'd be perfect.

I mean, working with you was always a pleasure.

The conferences are all about climate change.

the light's the most important thing in the house.

No, no, I don't want it. No. It'd be yours.

Yeah, but why would I want one at your house?

There's something I've been wanting to discuss with you too.

Tell me.

I wanna spend a lot more time with Gonzalo.

-Oh! -I can't focus on work.

I don't wanna be there.

You want…

I wanna take my leave. I wanna stay at home.

Hmm?

-It's the perfect solution. -Mmm! Mmm!

Because then you could go back to work, which is what I know you want,

and people in the park'll mention I'm a great dad.

-Fine. And you? -Fine.

-Look, I got you the book. -[gasps] Thanks, that's great!

-Can't wait to hear what you think. -Mmm.

Val. Mmm, I've, um…

I've decided, um… today's a fine day for an adventure.

-So today'll be the first time for you. -First time doing what?

You know when we were talking about maybe, mmm… normalizing relations with Víctor

because he's my friend as well,

and it's a drag to always have to make plans separately

because it's been almost a year, and your life is going pretty awesome?

[doorbell rings]

-Okay, so, today's the first time. -[Carmen] Did you know?

[Lola] Hey!

-[gasps] -Oh, I'm sorry.

Sorry.

[Carmen] Hey!

-Come on in. -[Carmen] Hi! [laughs]

SPARK?!

[Lola] Oh my goodness. The table has turned out so beautifully.

-[Valeria] It has. Pour me some wine? -[Lola] It's coming.

-[Nerea] I'll pour it in a second. -[pouring]

By the way, thanks so much for meeting early.

After eight o'clock, the little man starts to get real cranky.

[Lola] Don't get used to it!

I'm not making afternoon snacks like some auntie, okay?

No afternoon Tang.

-Hey, what's Tang? -[all laugh]

Age is just a number. That's what they say.

[Valeria] When does Borja's leave of absence start?

-This coming week. -Oh?

We need a little time to get organized with the milk and all that, right?

Oh, and by the way, I'm so grateful for the mat you gave us.

-Yeah, thanks. -[Carmen] Because… Oof.

-[Valeria] What'd he get for you? -Not for us.

-For Gonzalo. -[Borja] Gonzalo spends all day on it.

He loves it.

My sister said everyone gets stuff before the kid is born,

but I thought you could use something fun now, as well.

-I guess I was right. -[Carmen] Yeah.

-By the way… -It's no big deal.

…now that I'm taking care of the baby, we have to make a new padel schedule.

[Víctor] Yeah, whatever you want. Whenever works for you is fine.

-How'd you like the book? -[Borja] I lent it to Valeria. I loved it!

[laughs] Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

So, um, you said padel?

[Carmen] Hmm.

It's nothing. We play together now and then.

-We've gotten good, yeah? -Yeah?

-Well… -[Nerea] Looks good.

And you've been doing that how long?

Not long, right?

-[Borja] No, not too long. -[Carmen] Um…

-[Borja] Not long at all. -Not long, no.

-Do you ever see Nerea? -[Nerea] Not outside of work.

-We do see each other at company events. -Pardon?

[Víctor] She organizes events for my company.

She nailed my nephew's party.

That was a great party, man.

I bet that living with your partner must be so nice.

Mmm. No, no, no, Rai doesn't live here.

[Nerea] I told Georgina I'd like to spend more time together, you know?

But no. I mean, she really fears a bigger commitment.

Honestly, I don't get why a person who's comfortable with their partner

would fear commitment.

Exactly. Why?

♪ It's comin' on strong… ♪

-[Borja] Well… -Hey, try a bit of this here.

-Um… -It's wonderful.

-[Lola] Delicious. -[Borja] So good.

Amazing. Did you make all of this?

Yeah, yeah. Obviously not, no.

[laughter]

Maybe she feels the time's not right, or she feels pressured.

There are a bunch of ways to make a commitment.

[Nerea] Sure.

-Well, I'm gonna try the tortilla. -[Lola] Sure! Eat it with your hands.

-[Valeria] I love this. -Hey, let's… let's all have a toast.

-And a selfie. -[Carmen] Come on!

-[Lola] Let's go. One… -[Nerea] All together.

-[Lola] Two. -That's video.

-That's a video. -Ah, pardon me.

-Hello! -[all talking]

-Cheers, guys, to all of you. -The baby! Just try to stay quiet.

-A little more. -Can't wait till I'm done breastfeeding.

-Is this good? -[Lola] It's great.

-Might be the winner. -[Nerea] Okay.

[Valeria] Aww, so cute.

-So good. -Wish I had been there.

-[Nerea] We should go skating again. -[Lola] Fun, but I got bruised.

-You guys can do that without me. -It was fun!

[Valeria] He's sleeping a lot, huh?

[Borja] I hope he doesn't wake up because… [chuckles]

-This is good? -Have you read any César Benítez?

-No. -Oh man, you've got a treat in store.

-Really? Well. -Whew. Just wait.

-Mmm. Nice. -You've got a treat in store too.

-[Víctor] It's new. -[Carmen] I love that bakery.

-Well, I'm gonna go now. -For sure.

-[Valeria] See you. Bye. -[Borja] Yeah.

-[Carmen] Oh. Ow! Ow! -[Borja] Bye. Take care.

-[Víctor] Yeah. -[Carmen] I've got…

-[Nerea] Goodbye. -For you.

-For me? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because you just might need some food or something. Uh…

My car's over there.

I can find some other way to go.

-The… the tor… -No!

No, no, no. No problem, really.

-We can walk the same way. -[Nerea] You take it.

-[Carmen] That was your favorite. -[Nerea] No.

-[Carmen] Please. -You should have it. You want it.

-Take care. -[all] Good night!

[distant siren wailing]

-[horn honking] -Oh, wow. We'll get a voicemail later.

-I wonder what's gonna happen now. -It feels like déjà vu, doesn't it?

-[Víctor] How's the novel? -[Valeria] It's good.

-And the studio? -It's fine. Honestly, great.

We're in the final phase of the apartments downtown.

-You remember? The ones you liked so much? -Mm-hmm.

I hope you're not upset we all still see each other.

Who, me?

Not at all. [chuckles]

Although I'm surprised it's all behind my back.

We were afraid you'd feel weird.

[laughs] Madrid must be a tough place to find people to hang out with.

They're my friends, and I didn't wanna lose friends

just because our relationship didn't work out in the end.

Beautiful. You learned to like commitment, huh? [laughs]

-I thought that it didn't bother you. -It doesn't, though.

And if you ask me, we should be friends as well.

[sighs]

But I haven't asked you.

It's been a long time now, and besides, you're with Bruno.

We should be able to be around each other without there being any sparks.

-Uh… -You know, like, sparks.

Bad… bad sp… bad energy. That.

Well, my home is back, um…

-I… Uh, the car is right there. -It's there, back there.

-Well. -Mm.

-[Víctor] Oh. -[chuckles nervously]

Uh…

Uh, okay.

[Valeria] Hmm.

See you around.

Hello.

[sighs]

-What's up? -Hello.

What's this?

First of all, tell me about your party.

It was fine. Fine. Very good.

Everyone, uh, was there.

-Borja, Rai… -Mm-hmm.

And… Víctor.

He made an appearance. [laughs]

And how did that go?

Well…

Uh, well, maybe a bit tough at times, but…

-I don't know. It was kinda-- -So I spoke to Chus.

Oh, yeah, yeah, of course. What, um…

We have a platform that's interested in making Cannibal Homeland.

[gasps]

-[Bruno] Uh… -Oh!

They want me to write a script for a pilot.

-What? -Yeah.

-Oh my God! -[both laughing]

[gasps] Oh, Jesus!

-Oh my God. -[Bruno sighs]

Uh, and the producer thinks I should be there in the room.

-Yeah, sure. [laughs] -Yeah.

-I may have to live in Madrid a while. -Seriously?

-Yeah. -[laughs]

I have to talk with Amaia to get organized with Aitana,

but, I mean, it's already pretty much set up.

And I know we're gonna be fine

because the weekends have been a test between us, and we've done really well.

-[phone rings] -Oh, sorry.

How do you mean test? [laughs]

A test, you know? To see how we live together.

-Cheers. Sorry. -[laughs]

Amaia!
