ELÍSABET BENAVENT THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT MY LIES

VALERIA IN BLACK AND WHITE VALERIA FÉRRIZ

-I was thinking that this could… -Definitely.

-Like this? -Yeah. I think that's perfect.

-A bit more here. -Sure.

Because it complements this.

VALERIA NAKED

-[woman] All right. -[doorbell rings]

[Valeria] Hi. Oh, thanks.

BESTSELLER THIRD EDITION

BESTSELLER, NEW EDITION MORE THAN 100,000 COPIES SOLD

Mm!

BASED ON THE NOVELS BY ELÍSABET BENAVENT

[Valeria] I mean, I like the idea, but, at the same time, it feels a little sad.

4.6 HERE AND NOW

I don't know, your whole life, exposed like this to the buyers?

Well, I guess the owner died, and her kids wanna sell the house.

They choose what they wanna keep.

-And then sell the rest. -[Carmen] Mmm.

All right, we're looking for table linens.

-A complete set. -[Valeria] Ugh.

And if you ever have any, your kids will one day sell it.

Who's saying that I wanna have children?

Sorry I'm late, ladies.

I wanted to get out of there, but work is insane.

-Traffic in Madrid is awful. -[Valeria] Hey!

-[Carmen] Hello! -Right, I'm sorry. Hello.

[sighs] Well, anything interesting?

-We're trying to find table linens. -I said "interesting."

After this we're going to go for a drink, to celebrate Val staying in Madrid.

-Yeah! -Shh!

[whispers] Sorry!

-Ooh… right. -It's okay, my love.

I can… call Víctor if you want and tell him about things--

-No! No. -Sh! Aah!

-You're going to wake up the baby. -[both whisper] Sorry.

[Carmen sighs]

I do wanna let him know.

-But how to tell him? -Let me check this.

I don't want him to think I'm staying for him.

-No one thinks you're staying for him. -Don't call him!

-I'm not. It's about work. -Come on, let me see.

Didn't I just watch you put the picture he gave you back up? Hmm?

-[Lola] Mmm! -It's one of my favorites, so why not?

And it's also one of Adrián's.

So what, now I want to get back together with Adrián, too?

-[Lola] Hmm. -[Carmen chuckles]

It's just a picture.

[Carmen] No, it's what that picture signifies.

-[gasps] Oh, no! -[Lola] What?

-You think that's her? -Yeah.

-[breathes] Haah. -[gasps] Oh!

I wonder what she'd think if she knew that all of her personal things are on sale.

-I love it. -[all yelp]

-Oh! -[Carmen] Shh!

-You're not dead! Um… -I don't think so!

Why are you selling it all?

-Because I'm leaving Madrid. -[all] Oh!

I think I'll keep loving Madrid but from the beachside.

Okay.

I bet a change like that must require a lot of courage.

-What is life if not a series of changes? -[all] Hmm.

Long ago, I told myself I'd live a life of adventures.

If I make sure to stick with that,

then I'll stay full of life.

-[Valeria] Hmm. -Yeah.

Am I gonna find a table linen set?

-Go on. Now. Go. -Well, that's why we're here.

-I don't know! -[Lola] Thank you!

Open your little mouth! Eat the carrot!

-Ah, ah! I wanna see that little mouth. -That's good for the tan!

-Come on. That's it, eat, eat. -Eeeeeaaaa…

-Ea… uh… And the data confirms it. -What data? What are you talking about?

-Thanks, guys, we'll keep in touch. Bye! -Carmen?

[Joaquín] Come on, take a lunch break at least.

No worries at all. It's fine.

Well, sorry for interrupting, but we have to talk.

Oh yeah, yeah, sure.

I know that maybe this isn't the best time, right?

-You just had a baby and all that, but… -Mm-hmm?

-I need you in Paris. -Oh!

-Hmm. And when? -[Joaquín chuckles]

-In three months. -Huh?

Perfect, because we are weaning Gonzalo.

-So that would be wonderful. -Mm-hmm.

Okay, how many days?

Two years, with the possibility of an extension.

-Uh… -Yeah.

I need someone from here creating and leading a team over there.

Well, I want you to know we'd be delighted to also transfer Borja.

-Oh. -But it's not possible for the time being.

Yeah. Let me, um… Just… Can I, uh, recap all that?

-Hmm. -Okay.

-It sounds to me like I'd be going alone. -Yes.

And then that my, uh… my family would be here.

-Yes. -Ah, okay.

-So two years. -Two years… or more.

Mmm.

["Bailas o Qué by Pipiolas playing]

[lyrics in Spanish over pensive music]

No, no, no, I'm on the way home already.

I left work early. What about that? Isn't that lit?

[laughs] Excuse me, please.

Huh? No, I'm on the bus. Yeah, finding a parking spot…

Sorry, excuse me.

It's impossible in Madrid to find one.

It's fine. It is, really. It's fine.

Uh… Yeah. No, no, no, no.

I think it's gonna take me around 20 minutes or so. That's all, no sweat.

But in the meantime, think about what we can maybe do tonight

'cause I've only been working, and I wanna enjoy the city and…

Can't believe it. I can't believe it.

It was a fucking hour and a half because of construction work in the city center.

And not an hour and a half of sitting there relaxed, no.

An hour and a half of smelling the wet-dog odor of a dude that was…

Don't tell me that the electricity's out!

["Bailas o Qué" continues on speaker]

[Lola] These are love candles!

-[Rai] Love candles! -Oh!

[Rai] And a reheated dinner. You were supposed to get here earlier.

[Lola] Mmm!

You have no idea how much I needed this.

-I'm gonna open a bottle of wine. -[phone rings]

Uh, one second.

Hello?

I was about to eat dinner, but tell me, tell me.

Yes. Mmm, Rocío reviews it, and you go to the conference.

I would prefer that you go.

Well, then you can go and sit at another desk,

but you have to work together.

They sent an email? Okay, okay. Give me a second.

-Hang on, this won't take long, okay? -It will get cold.

No, because I won't take long.

And you? How was your day?

Good. I began painting the idea we came up with.

Great. That's amazing. I really love that you did. Incredible.

How many paintings do you wanna paint for the show?

-Eight. -Ten seems like a lot for you to focus on.

I said eight.

Oh… Yeah. That's it.

You have all of my attention. All of it.

-[phone clatters] -[Rai chuckles]

Almost.

Okay, where were we?

Uh, you were gonna tell me about the dessert.

Mmm, well, I'm thinking that you… and I…

could take out the whipped cream I have in my fridge.

-And… -[Rai] Yeah?

-[both giggling] -[Rai] Whoa!

Ugh!

One… two… three.

[groans]

Ah!

[sighs] Let's see.

Oh!

[sighs]

[doorbell rings]

-Oh. -One, two, three… go!

-Oh! -[Valeria winces]

-Oh… -What are you doing?

Uh, it's just that it gives me the creeps, Nerea. Why did you ask me?

-You're my friend. -Yeah.

Pooping can't be the only time you come here.

I have an awful fear of needles, which is why I don't sew. You do it.

No human is designed to prick themselves. I can't do it.

-So why not Georgina? -No, she doesn't know about it.

What?

She doesn't know I'm doing this.

I don't feel like I wanna tell her until I know what I wanna do.

So I'm asking you not to judge me.

I'm with you always, okay?

There's no need to worry.

Don't tell the girls, okay?

Let's try it again.

-We don't have much time, right? -[Nerea] Oh! Yes, yes.

-[Valeria] Okay, okay. -[Nerea] Come on. Let's go.

-One, two, three. -Two and three.

[both screaming]

-The liquid! Push it in! -[Valeria] What?

[both wailing]

-It's done? Yeah? -Yes. I'll get it out.

[both gasping and laughing]

-[Nerea] Oh, it's done! -It's done! Yay! Yeah, yeah!

-Yeah! -It's all done.

-Yes! -Until the same time tomorrow.

[both panting]

[Valeria sighs]

Hello?

-Oh, yeah, that feels good. -[Puri] Oh!

Hi, my little love! Oh, he's fast asleep… Oh!

[chuckling]

Guess who loves you?

Who's the most handsome boy in the world?

-Puri. -Carmen.

Hi, and… where's Borja?

In the bedroom. He got a call.

[Carmen] Oh. How are you?

-I'm good, yeah, and you? -Well, I'm good. Just tired.

Well, you were gone the whole day.

-Sebas from work… -Of course you're tired.

-…called to catch me up on things. -Hmm.

So it was a monologue, wasn't it? [chuckles]

He's got the tea! Nothing happens at the office

without him finding out and commenting on it.

Hey, um… Wh… what exactly did he talk about?

Nothing. That the vending machines now have Tigretóns.

Oh. Yeah. [chuckles]

And… that my wife was asked to go to Paris

to lead a whole new team there!

Ah, right, then.

Uh, the vending machines also have carrot sticks now.

Hey, Mom, could you give us a minute by ourselves, please?

-Mm. Yeah, of course, honey. -[Carmen] Look. [sighs]

Let's talk this through, okay?

I swear I was… [sighs]

Don't leave in a hurry. That's fine. Yeah.

-[sighs] -[Borja] So?

Borja, look… Look, I wanted to tell you, but I knew you'd encourage me to go.

Of course I would because it's a dream job, and I know that!

-Wait, she's coming back. -[Puri] You carry on.

I need to clean things up. If not, the bottles will smell.

[Carmen sighs]

I'd be leaving both of you all week,

so Gonzalo would only spend weekends with his mother.

Oh, the boy would be without his mother.

I can't deal with this. No, come with me.

-Carmen, it's an amazing opportunity. -[sighs]

Yeah, it would have been, until we had Gonzalo.

Gonzalo, he'll start with daycare soon. He'll be gone almost all of each day.

You'll be home on Friday, and you'll go back on Monday,

-It's only a two-hour flight. -Yeah, easy.

But then she has to pick up her suitcase and the cab…

-No, no, I was thinking out loud. [laughs] -Sure, I can tell.

And it would also be really hard for you.

-You'd be all alone. -I wouldn't be alone. I wouldn't.

-Hey! He has me. -That's worse than being all alone!

-I am not going to let you talk that way-- -[Carmen] No, you will let me.

And you'll listen 'cause I'm not going.

Okay? It's my decision.

Not yours, and least of all yours. You got it?

Me and you…

[sighs] The way we've been…

[sighs] I will not take it.

[sighs]

You had to keep on pushing and pushing it…

Who me? No. I didn't say a thing.

Thank goodness that you didn't.

Great job not getting involved. Right?

READY FOR YOUR FAREWELL SURPRISE?

Víctor?

Hello?

Oh…

-[Valeria] Where are we going? -[Víctor] And here it is.

[Valeria] And this?

Well, this studio belongs to Mikel Avedaño.

-He's a good friend, and a great artist. -Oh.

We are going to make our own work of art.

A reminder of us before we… say goodbye.

-But I'm a terrible painter. [laughs] -You and I both.

That's what's good about abstract art.

-Look. -[Valeria] Ooh.

[Víctor] Hmm… Mm-hmm.

[Valeria gasps]

Oh my God. I love this.

-[Víctor] Yeah? -Let me try.

-[squeals] -[Víctor] That's it.

[Valeria laughing] I love it!

[Víctor] I think it's lacking color somewhere else.

-[Valeria] On the sides. -Yeah, yeah.

-Here. Here. -Oh! No!

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -[gasps]

This way, you'll go to Asturias like a Smurf.

It's probably… time to tell you that I'm not going to Asturias.

Bruno and I broke up.

[Víctor] What?

No… [chuckles]

Wow, look, Víctor's turning red! [chuckles]

Seriously. You… you and Bruno ended it?

Yeah. It wasn't just about the move either.

We'd been having some problems lately,

and he wasn't supportive of me in my career

the way I would like for a… a life partner to be. [sighs]

And… and so… [sighs]

So… nothing.

Those are the only reasons.

Nothing and nobody else.

I wanna make sure that's very clear to you. Hmm?

Crystal clear. Yeah, crystal clear.

Okay. Good.

So? You going to paint or what?

Yeah, we're gonna paint.

Let's paint. Yeah.

Yeah, let's go.

["Tataravoa" by Fillas de Cassandra playing]

There? Whoa!

[lyrics in Spanish over lively music]

Oh!

[Valeria] Oh!

-Right there. -There?

Wait!

[Víctor] Try it here.

-I got you! -[Valeria] No, no, no, no!

Pah!

-[Valeria sighs] -[music fades]

-[Víctor] Well… -[Valeria] Done, right?

-[Víctor] Yeah? -[Valeria] Yeah.

-[Víctor chuckles] -[Valeria sighs] Hmm.

I can't tell if it's good or not, to tell you the truth. [chuckles]

-[Víctor] No? -No.

-[Víctor] There are colors. -Hmm.

-They appear to be… a gradient of tones. -Right?

If you look close.

-Well, yeah… -There's something even more important.

-The artists enjoyed the process. -Mm-hmm.

We've definitely made an amazing piece of art.

[Valeria scoffs] But it's kinda shit, isn't it?

Well, then I guess it's an… amazing piece of shit.

-Truly our best shit yet. -[Valeria chuckles]

-Don't do that. -What?

["Tataravoa" resumes]

[Valeria] Look at me with those eyes.

-They're the only ones I have. -Yeah, that's the problem. [sighs]

Should I remove them? -Holy shit, why do you smell like that?

-[Víctor] Like what? -[Valeria] Like you. You smell like you.

I love your smell, and you know it, plus you set up this farewell…

smelling like you, mm.

Is this better?

No. No.

Too late.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Bruno. You know that, right?

[music fades]

[Víctor] Chai tea.

Thank you.

Definitely our best work of art, don't you think?

Hmm!

-It was a temporary lapse of judgement… -Yep, a transitory moment of crazy.

But I'd taken the rest of the day off

so that I could be with you before you left for Asturias.

I don't think that's a wise idea.

-I get it. Hmm. -Hmm.

Plus, I'm going home to have a small bonfire on my balcony.

-Ah. A bonfire? -Hmm.

-Oh. -It's June 23rd.

Yeah.

[laughs]

Oh, my God. It's so obvious you're not from the coast. It's the Eve of St. John.

-Ah, okay, St. John. Got it, right. -Hmm.

-Of course. -Sometimes I go to Valencia.

And what's holding you back from going there?

Well, I want to, but I have an important meeting tomorrow morning.

["Nunca Estuviste Tan Lejos" by Ultralágrima playing]

[lyrics in Spanish over somber music]

I'm gonna go.

[Víctor sighs]

Then what happened? Please, you're making me nervous.

Um… I went to my place.

-Wow! -Well, okay. Okay.

I mean the plan… was to go back to my place.

I swear.

Get in, I'll drive you. It's St. John's Eve, remember?

But I have a meeting first thing tomorrow.

I've got a meeting first thing tomorrow as well.

-Ah! -Ugh! Smells like a campfire.

But, but, but! There's also little bits of food in here.

-What the-- -Paella.

Not "rice with stuff in it". Paella.

["Nunca Estuviste Tan Lejos" becomes more animated]

Look at her hair. Look. It's very, very, very, dry. It's dry.

Sh! Don't interrupt her now.

[scoffs] I have one hour before Gonzalo starts screaming for my boob.

-What do I do, wait for her next novel? -No, go on, go on. Hmm.

You can't see until after I'm done!

-Oh, can I read it? -No. No.

Come on, burn!

[sighs]

Thank you. I didn't wanna be anywhere else today.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

-Now that I'm here, I see what you mean. -Mmm.

I remember when we were here last.

-[laughs] -Mr. Mushroom.

-[laughs] -Oh, that sounds like another Valeria.

Yeah, and another Víctor.

[scoffs]

What?

Uh, I'm… not sure about how different you are. [chuckles]

[Víctor] Hmm…

Well…

I'll tell you, that Víctor didn't know…

what it's like to be in love with someone.

["heridas" by julia amor playing]

[lyrics in Spanish over dreamy pop music]

[fireworks crackling]

Should we pack everything up and get going?

Otherwise you'll be late, won't you?

-Yeah. -Yeah?

Would it be okay with you if I drive?

He let you have the keys?

Who cares about the keys? He finally told Valeria that he's fallen in love with her!

[Nerea] No, no, no. I asked him for the keys once, and he said no.

Ladies, I didn't say anything.

-So what? -Hmm.

He didn't reply when you said you loved him. No way.

-I'm not going to feel sorry for him. -Come on. You girls have no heart.

Do you have any idea the work he's done to open up like that?

Aw, poor thing! Should we build him a giant monument

in praise of his exceptional commitment, huh?

Give him a red carpet to the maturity awards?

A star on the boulevard of emotional responsibility?

-Please! -Okay…

So how were you feeling?

I don't know. I just knew I needed to drive. It helps me think.

["heridas" continues on car stereo]

[sighs]

Víctor, about…

about what you said earlier…

So, I want to…

Are you going to tell him you love him? Listen, tell him. Tell him you love him.

You have to, please.

Uh, I mean, I know I'm still married to Adrián,

but when… but, I mean…

when we are kissing Víctor… [gasps]

Just say it. [gasps]

Víctor.

-[whispers] Víctor… -No. Don't you even dare.

I will remind you that what the two of you have is simply carnal.

And who are you?

Well, the one who only has a sexual thing with Víctor.

-[present Valeria] Mmm. -Uh… Oh.

I'm not sure what to call it, but, whatever.

But it's great.

Uh, it's amazing.

It's… flexible.

-Yeah. -[first Valeria] Oh, his smell…

-You have to listen to me. -Mmm.

She's about to break up with Adrián and thinks life's a bed of roses.

Just be flexible and fuck him.

But then she suffers because she can't help how she feels.

Remember, your relationship with Bruno was healthy.

-But they're not together? -[middle Valeria] See?

See it's really best not to get emotionally close. Just be flexible.

But he smells so good, right? [sighs]

Mm. The sex works. There's no denying that.

Ladies, ladies, control yourselves.

If we don't, that's when we find other girls' bras, and drama starts.

-That's right, drama. -There's drama?

Look, this is stressing her out.

-You don't have to decide anything yet. -Yeah.

After all, we have three hours to discuss it. Hmm!

-[sighs] -[first Valeria moans]

I wanna touch him. Just for a moment. I mean, look at his arm.

[Carmen] Well, so… what did you decide?

I haven't yet. I can see the Val who fell in love with Víctor when they met.

-But I'm not… that girl any longer. -Mm-mm.

Or the one who acted like he didn't matter.

Not even the Valeria with Bruno a year ago.

Of course. I mean… he's changed, but… you have as well.

-Hmm. -What does this Valeria want?

-The one sitting here. -The one now.

Mm…

[Valeria] I see myself as a more confident Valeria.

But sometimes, the doubts and the shadows reappear.

How much can we change?

I don't think one person should change the other.

Maybe if you observe them for long enough, you'll see them evolve.

But don't trust that evolution.

Trust yourself, and that, if things don't go the way you want,

you'll know how to leave.

[doorbell rings]

[speaking French]

Sh! He's asleep, so…

[speaking French]

You're all right.

Um… and Valeria?

-No idea. Lola wanted it to be us three. -Oh.

[Nerea] Oh! Hi, baby…

-Okay, good! We're all here now! -[both] Sh!

[whispers] Uh, I was asked by someone we know to get together.

-[doorbell rings] -[Carmen] Hmm.

-[Lola gasps] -[Nerea] Mmm!

[Carmen chuckles]

-Who is it? -This is mysterious, huh?

-[Nerea] Yeah. -[door opens]

I know I've made a few mistakes with Valeria.

-[Nerea] Several. -What?

-Not just a few. Many of them. -Oh, come on.

No, she's right, Lola. Several mistakes.

-Your egocentrism. -Yes.

-Lack of empathy. -The mixed signals, immaturity.

-Your arrogance. -That too.

-[both] Your lack of commitment to her. -[Lola] Come on, enough.

Why don't we at least let him talk? Cool?

I get our relationship is complicated.

I've tried to move on so many times, but I can't.

If I don't do something soon, I'll lose the love of my life.

Ow, ow, ow!

I know I'm not trustworthy after everything that happened,

but I'll work every day to earn her trust back and keep it.

If she… wants.

If not… my heart will be torn in two.

But I won't have the regret of not having tried.

-Okay, and… -Hmm.

Why are you telling this to us and not to Valeria?

I plan to talk to her.

Before I do, I want your support

because you're her family.

Uh… you're asking us to give you permission?

I wanna give her this.

Right… and… and what the fuck is this?

Look, where do you see yourselves in five years? Hmm?

["Soy una fracasada estúpida" by Aiko el grupo playing]

[Carmen] I've been thinking about where I see myself in five years.

And…

I've come to a decision.

I can't go. I can't. I'm sorry.

We have three eggs that could be viable.

What do you wanna do?

Do you wanna start the process now or wait until later?

-Shit. -[Lola] I'm thinking about my future.

Have you been happy with me since you gave me my promotion?

Yeah, sure.

Okay. because I have something I'd like to propose to you.

She is…

She is more.

-More? -More what?

More! More, more, more, and more!

Yeah. More. She's more. A ton more.

More than more, right?

-She's more. -Okay, more.

What are you waiting for? Go and talk to her!

[lyrics in Spanish over joyful pop-rock music]

[phone chimes]

HEY! CAN YOU PEEK OUTSIDE?

Oh, hey!

Hi! Do you have any time for me to take you somewhere?

[song ends]

Hang on.

Where are we going?

-A bit further. -Ah!

A bit further. It's okay. [chuckles]

-There's nothing… -Nothing. It's clear.

-[Valeria] Sure? I'm a little scared. -I'm sure. A bit further. A bit more…

-[Valeria] Oh. It's… Here? -[Víctor] Here.

It's the first apartment we finished.

Wow… this is amazing, Víctor.

Your first solo project!

[sirens wailing, horns blaring]

You should feel very proud.

You like it?

I love it. It's spectacular. [exhales]

Come.

This is the office, right? Does anybody live here?

-[Víctor] No. -Oh.

[Víctor] Not until I move in myself.

You're going to live here?

That's your office?

[Víctor] Actually, it's yours.

If you want, of course.

There's some of your favorite books.

Photos with the girls.

The chocolate you like to eat while you write.

And an electric kettle, so you don't have to get up when you're focusing.

[sighs softly]

Víctor, what is all this?

[chuckles]

[emotional music playing]

It's a promise from me.

This house is a promise of a place for you to write,

to read, to listen to your music.

Valeria, will you share everything you are with me?

[children playing]

[chuckles]

[dog barking]

[sighs]

[birdsong, children laughing]

[sighs]

[Borja] Here we go. Here we go!

[laughing]

How long can you stand?

One, two, three…

[Carmen] Borja, he just had some juice. Can't you play vertically?

-This isn't vertical? -Ah!

I really don't care. [laughs]

[upbeat music playing]

-You guys seem so happy together. -[Carmen sighs]

-I can't believe it's already five years. -[Valeria] Me neither.

I can't go. I'm sorry.

-[Borja] You can't turn down this job. -Uh, no, wait, Joaquín. Uh…

-I don't know what Borja's doing here… -I'll tell you. I'm resigning.

-[Joaquín] What? -What?

I think I was clear. I'm resigning.

-But wait… -My wife has an amazing opportunity.

And I'm going too, along with my son.

[energetic French music playing]

[Valeria] You made the right decision.

-Yeah, I did. -And Puri, how is she?

Well… since Borja's dad died, she spends half the year in Paris.

-Hmm? -Hmm.

It's gone from being the city of love to the city of mothers-in-law.

[Nerea] All right, coming!

-Actually, she's learning French. -Really?

-She's good. -Ladies, here's the salad.

-[Valeria] Mmm. -[Carmen] Mmm.

-[Carmen] Yummy. -[Nerea] Here.

Let's see.

I can't believe it, you're starting to show.

And… remind me when you're due?

[laughs] Can you imagine?

[Nerea] I think…

I'm leaving it where it's at for the moment.

Now that I know it's a possibility for me,

well, then I feel it's important to take time to decide.

They say I have an intolerance to some foods.

-[Valeria] Oh. -It's called SIBO.

So you're saying the gas is the same as always,

but now you have a 600-euro diagnosis on top of it?

-That's a lot. Oh. -[Carmen] Hmm.

[chuckles] How are things with Georgina?

Not bad. The breakup was painful, but…

[Valeria] That's normal.

Now, though, it's great. She's the best.

And we're a really good team, even if it's only professional.

By the way, did I tell you both I donated the eggs that I'd frozen?

And are you okay?

I'm cold old Nerea forever.

Did you expect for me to really unfreeze anything, ladies?

[all chuckle]

I'll get the rest soon. [speaks French]

That looks good on you, Lola.

[Lola] I know, but… do you know what suits me even more?

-When I give him back to his mommy! -Come here, come here!

The most beautiful thing in the world.

-[Lola] Yeah. -You wanna go play with Daddy and Gonzalo?

No. Don't look at me like that. Really, don't.

I tick almost all the cliché boxes.

A husband, a house with a dog in the countryside.

I'm done.

The thing is… I love Madrid.

But I know I need to leave, or I'm gonna end up loathing it instead.

I'd like to start working from home so that I can get out of the city.

Now… if you'd told me five years ago

I'd enjoy my vegetable garden more than going out for drinks in Madrid,

I'd have shoved a supermarket zucchini in your… uh, mouth.

-[Valeria] I mean… whatever! -[Carmen chuckles]

-Just wait until we have hens. -[Carmen] Seriously?

-[Valeria] Really? -He's joking. We're not planning hens.

-Auntie Nerea! -If you did, you'd be his favorite auntie!

[Nerea] Oh, baby!

[Lola] Wow, you look fine, buddy!

Wow! Oh my goodness!

[music playing over dialogue]

[music fades]

When I talked to the girls…

-[laughs] You spoke to the girls? -I wanted to let them see the design.

And you didn't show them the ring? [laughing]

Now that it's official,

it's time for us to toast to Val's new novel!

-Mmm! -[Nerea] Yeah!

-Wait, wait. What about the other news? -Cheers.

I just can't believe they're making your novels into a series for streaming, Val.

-[Lola] Mmm! -I nearly cried.

Your story with Víctor definitely deserves a series.

-[Lola chuckles] -[clears throat]

Ladies, this series isn't about my story with Víctor.

This series is about four friends,

and it's about the love and support they give one another,

even though there are times they say things you don't wanna hear.

-[Carmen chuckles] -[Nerea] Mmm.

Like, we really have missed your personal podcasts.

[all laugh]

I'm toasting to us.

To who we once were, to who we are now,

and to whoever we're going to become.

I love you all so much.

-[Carmen] To us. -[Valeria] To us.

-[Lola] To us. -I love all of you.

[laughs]

Oof!

Now let's get to the most important part.

-Who's going to play us in the series? -Well, well, well…

-[Carmen] You have to tell us. -My guess is you'll be amazed!
