[phone ringing]

[Angela] Hello.

Hello?

Otávio, is that you?

Otávio, is that you?

Talk to me.

Where are you?

Where did you go, Otávio?

[call ended]

[gasping]

[phone ringing]

[footsteps on the stairs]

Hello?

Hello.

Otávio, it's you, isn't it?

Why don't you not talk to me, Octavian?

You call and say nothing.

[heavy breathing]

Why did you leave like that?

Was it something I did?

[gasping]

It's a different woman, isn't it?

I'm sorry, okay? I don't want to fight anymore.

I don't want to fight.

Just go home.

Please... come back here.

[phone ringing]

[zipper opening]

Hello?

I can't believe it. Is it you again?

Don't you have anything better to do?

[link ended]

Why don't you not talk to me?

Talk to me, Otávio.

What number is that that's calling me?

Listen... the sink in the bathroom is out of order.

It's been dripping since yesterday.

You have to fix it and I still can't.

At night it drips in my head, a noise...

[Diogo closes his notebook]

[rock music - cell phone ringing]

[mutes ringtone]

[rock music]

Is this meat a little spicy?

[fiddling with cutlery]

I'm not eating meat.

Mom... this afternoon I had a strange pain right here.

Was it? Not anymore?

It's improved now.

Then it must have been gas.

I think it's appendicitis.

-Are you nauseous? -No.

Is your belly hard here at this point?

-No. -Then it's nothing, Mari.

[Clarice] Have you seen Regina Gonçalves today?

No.

Well... She was going to invite me to write a chapter in her book.

I spoke to her last week.

I think she told me something about it.

Sit here, Mom, to be sure. Now I don't know if it's hard or not.

Oh, stop this hypochondria, my child.

If it hurts tomorrow, we'll see, okay?

Sit down.

Did you pay for swimming today?

[confirmation sound]

[rock music - cell phone ringing]

Diogo, your cell phone is ringing.

Leave it. It's no use.

[door opening]

Come in.

Hi, Mom.

Hello.

I need the money for the entrance exam.

The UFRJ is in two days' time.

I'll make you a check in a little while, okay?

It's just that I wanted to go this afternoon.

Registration at the bank closes at 4am.

Diogo... My son, get off the couch!

[knocks on the door]

Come in.

Diogo, did you get my math book?

No. Why would I take your math book?

I don't know, he's gone.

I have a strange pain right here. I think it's appendicitis.

Sit here.

-Does it hurt when I squeeze? -More or less. The same as before.

Yeah, it's not hard. Let me see if you have a fever.

No, not really.

Mari, I don't think it's appendicitis.

[Diogo flips through book]

Let me see the scar?

Of course.

Have you had a fever?

[Diogo confirms]

It hurt a lot.

I could hardly walk straight.

I remember.

You don't want to take the thermometer for us to check?

-I want to. -Okay, I'll wait.

[phone ringing]

[sigh]

I tidied up the house yesterday. It was a mess, you know?

But now it's tidy. You can come now.

Do you know what I found when I was tidying up the house?

A few photos of us on Ilha Grande. Do you remember them?

It's been what, ten years?

No, 15, right? He's about 15.

We camped on that deserted beach, remember?

Then I invented skinny dipping and you had to stay outside

watching so that no one shows up.

I'm making the chicken you like.

You know? The one with rosemary, potatoes, lots of garlic.

I went to the market this morning and found this beautiful chicken.

Then I wanted to do it.

I almost did something stupid, you know?

When I thought you weren't coming back.

But now it's over. You're coming back, right?

Listen... I've decided that I'm going to forgive you.

I'm making dinner for us.

Come here. 10:30. You come and we'll talk.

All right?

I'm waiting for you.

[sigh]

What are you doing?

Eating.

In the dark?

[Diogo confirms]

[fridge opening]

[fridge closing]

Who made this chicken?

It was me.

Is that good?

[restrained laughter]

If you want, there's plenty.

Don't forget to do the dishes, okay?

Good evening.

[sound of cutlery]

Do I turn off the light?

[phone ringing]

I waited for you all night last night.

I'm very tired.

I don't know what to think anymore.

I just wanted to tell you that.

I waited for you to call to say goodbye.

[fiddling with the zipper]

What do you want, boy? Hey, boy! Hey, kid!

Angela!

[doorman] Who are you, boy?

Angela!

[machine beeps]

You will need observation.

But he should be discharged today.

Do you have someone we can can call to pick you up?

[sigh]

Can't we call Mr. Diogo?

-Who? -It's Diogo Levinson da Cunha.

No... it was who brought you here?

I don't know. I don't remember.

What's the name again?

It's Diogo Levinson da Cunha.

Don't you know it?

No.

Just the surname.

[sniffles]

You're quiet today.

É...

[sigh]

What was that in your hand?

Nothing. I cut it in the kitchen.

Are you all right, Angela?

Hello.

Yes, I am.

-Until 6 a.m. -Bye.

-Thank you. -The door's open, okay?

Okay. Bye.

[beats]

-Mrs. Angela, would you like some help? -No, you don't.

-All right, Mr. Geraldo? -All right.

Do you know anyone who needs clothes?

I have these clothes to give away.

No. I mean, all of a sudden, you know?

-There's always someone who wants it. -Take a look, you too.

There's a lot of good stuff. It's all clothes down here.

Up here is a book, there are some nice books.

-Then you can have a look. -Yeah. I got it.

-But there's a lot there, Mrs. Angela. -É.

-It won't be missed... -It won't be missed at all.

You can keep everything, okay? Even the suitcase. This suitcase.

-This suitcase down here is great. -The suitcase too?

É. Then whatever you don't want you leave to Zé.

-Yeah. -See if he wants anything.

-It's good. -Are you okay?

-Thank you. Good evening, Mr. Geraldo. -Good night.

[rock music - cell phone ringing]

[cell phone on call]

-Hello. -I'll tell your mother.

-I didn't know you were here. -Was that your cell phone ringing?

É. Wrong.

If your mother sees you eating that ice cream in the jar...

You've seen it, right?

-Have you started smoking again? -No.

Only in case of emergency.

Does Mom know?

No, Diogo.

You don't know.

What are you listening to?

Letuce.

-Do you? -No.

[song "Freud Sits Here" playing]

[song "Freud Sits Here" playing]

You're a woman, right?

-Hey? -That look on your face can only be a woman.

-Is it someone you're seeing? -No.

-But you're in the mood, aren't you? -No.

I don't know.

-Complicated. -But what's the problem?

Do you think it won't work?

-Much worse than that. -What do you mean?

It's gone to shit and I'm scared of what might happen.

She's a bit crazy.

The crazy ones are the best.

-Did it rain a lot? -No, hardly any.

-You can leave the umbrella here. -Yeah.

-I thought. -Did you bring any wine?

-Where do I put it? -You can put it on the table.

Yes.

-Are you old enough to buy wine? -No. I got it from my father's cellar.

Do you want to open it?

[Diogo confirms]

-There's an opener up there. -That's good.

-Do you know how to use it? -Yes.

-Are you hungry? -I am.

[Diogo pours wine into glass]

I think it's ready here.

-Shall we eat? -Let me help you.

-Be careful, it's very hot. -That's good.

Okay?

Are you better?

[Angela confirms]

I was so worried that night.

I'm fine. I just didn't want to talk about it. Okay?

That's good.

Do you study?

I'm taking the ENEM this year.

-ENEM. -É...

In my day it was the entrance exam.

What are you going to do it for?

I'm going to do it for music and for communication.

Funny, I made music.

-Ah, is it? -Three periods only.

I did... National Conservatory. Piano.

-But when I got married, I stopped. -Hum...

-Do you still play? -No. When we moved here,

I couldn't bring the piano, so...

I still taught for a while, but I stopped. I haven't played for a long time.

-I also teach. -Ah, is it?

É. Only guitar. I have about three students.

Can I show you one of my songs?

Do you have a Dock there?

-That iPod thing? -É.

In the back. On that little table up there.

Did you find it? [Diogo confirms]

Sit here.

♪ My kitchen's full of ants ♪

♪ There's only termites on my table ♪

♪ In my bed there is Whoever's in the mood... ♪

Is that right?

♪ My cigarette won't light ♪

I also have something to show you.

[music continues]

-I'd better go. -No. Diogo, wait a minute. Diogo...

Wait a minute.

Sorry.

Are you upset?

I thought it was kind of disgusting when I first saw it.

But then I liked it.

I thought it was... a kind of tribute.

I liked it.

[unzipping his pants]

Calm down. Wait a minute, calm down.

Ouch.

I'm going to come. Ouch.

Enjoy. Enjoy and we'll carry on.

Diogo.

Diogo.

-Diogo... -Hum.

Wake up.

It's 5:15.

-Fuck. -Won't your mom be worried?

I said... I was going to a friend's house.

I told her that I might be late.

-But I'd better go soon. -That's good.

Will we see each other again?

What time is it?

Almost six.

-Where were you? -At Guilherme's.

-I left a message. -But at this hour?

It was too late for me to go back. I decided to sleep there.

Hmm...

I need to get ready. I've got class in a bit.

A masterstroke.

You're kidding, right?

I had sex with her yesterday.

-Really? Where? -At her house.

-Were her parents at home? -No. She lives alone.

-She's older. -How much older?

-I don't know. Like 30, 30-something. -Fuck, I didn't know you liked it.

Me neither.

-And... was it your first time? -It was my first everything.

Tell me about it. Did you suck her?

-No. -Did she suck you off?

He sucked.

-How long did you last? -What do you mean?

-Without joking. The first time sucks. -Yeah, the first time was really fast.

-But the second time I held out longer. -Twice?

-Ah, kid. -É.

She's got some moves, huh? How well does she suck?

Or are you shy? Go ahead. I won't tell anyone.

I bet older women sucks much better.

Did she get it all in her mouth?

Did she choke? I love it when they choke.

[choking]

[suction]

-What are you doing? -Hey, relax. I'm just joking, go on.

[suction]

Where were you?

I slept at Guilherme's house.

Sit down.

What's that, Diogo?

You came into my room, went through my things?

What's going on with you, son?

-I stayed with Guilherme. -What?

I think he's into me.

-And you... -I don't know, I...

I'm not into him.

But I liked it. I...

I liked it at the time. I got excited and everything.

Am I gay?

No. I don't know, my son.

You're very young. At your age, it's normal to experiment.

That doesn't mean anything.

-With women it's different. -How is it different?

I don't know, it's different. I'm much more...

[laughing] Well, much more...

Which women are you staying with, Diogo?

[Clarice] Why don't you leave soon?

[Marcos] Is that what you want?

If you're going to to disappear without warning,

I think it's best leave at once.

Marcos.

is it another woman?

If it were, I'd tell you. Don't I always tell you?

You're the one hiding these things, not me.

So what is it, Marcos?

Clarice...

I can't stand eating in silence any longer.

I can't stand watching television in silence.

I can't stand looking at you in silence.

Do you know what I did today?

I went to the movies alone.

I just wanted to stay away from this house for a while.

That's all.

I need to get home. No one knows I left.

Stay a little longer.

-And your husband? -What about my husband?

Don't you think he'll come back?

He's not coming back. No, he won't.

You believed me when I called you.

[rock music - cell phone ringing]

-My mother. -No answer, no.

Let's agree on something, shall we?

When we're together, we'll leave the world outside.

It's just the two of us.

Yes.

[laughs]

Angela!

[laughs]

-And now, huh? -Hum.

Aren't you going to say anything?

Is it any use?

What do you mean?

If I ask, will you tell me anything?

Diogo!

-You're not staying for PE? -No. Today I'm going to kill.

Do you want to sleep over tonight?

Today I'm going out with Angela.

Cool. Thanks.

Listen...

That day at your house was nice and all, but...

Of course. It was just a joke. Don't worry about it. Just relax.

Just kidding.

-Good morning. -Coffee in bed?

Oh, how delicious.

-What? -Nothing.

What did you put in here?

Guess what?

Really? Really?

Do you like it?

I loved it.

Come over here. Sit here next to me.

Calm down.

See?

Hold on.

[Angela moans]

Calm down. Calm down.

[gasping]

I loved the house. It has a beautiful view.

Thank you.

What about you, Paola? What are you going to study for?

Medicine.

You must be killing yourself studying this year.

É.

Is everyone finished? [Paola agrees]

-Then I'll get the dessert. -Let me help you.

You don't have to. Keep your friends company.

-Just get the cutlery for me. -Okay.

-She's very strange, man. -Stop, William.

Have you seen her age? She's...

Come here, have you become a vegetarian now?

-Yeah... I'm avoiding it. -You were the biggest carnivore.

I think it's great. It's healthier.

I know... But come here,

it's not about her, is it?

William, stop. For God's sake.

-Stop it, for God's sake. -He ties himself up.

-Just because she needs to go on a diet. -To.

Thanks.

There's coconut in it, right? I'm allergic.

-But the eggplant was great, auntie. -Auntie, no. For heaven's sake.

-É... I'm sorry. Angela, right? -Better.

You're my mother's age. It's a reflection.

Diogo told me that you were going to take the university entrance exam.

It's not an entrance exam. I'm trying to get back in.

But then, if it works out,

next year I'm going to be Diogo's classmate.

-And work? You don't work, do you? -Guilherme!

I don't work, no. But I'm looking at some possibilities.

-I get it. -She's finished... a marriage now.

Of course, these things take time.

My mother has always worked.

I think it's getting late. I still have to study today.

-I think we'd better get going. -Really?

-It's serious. -What?

-I'm sorry. -I'll take you to the door.

Nice to meet you. Paola...

Paola, stop putting on a show!

[Angela sighs]

-What's that back there? -What?

Idiot.

Ouch.

-Well done. -Ouch. Ouch.

[rock music - cell phone ringing]

She's my sister.

-Keep up. -Hey.

Hello.

Hello.

Alone?

I'm at Angela's.

Yes, of course.

She's home alone... a bit sick. Is it okay if she comes here?

Of course, Mari. Come on, Mari.

Do you have any money? Take a cab.

Okay. I'll pass the address by message.

Kiss.

And your mother?

Now I understand why you spend so much time away from home.

Where are they now?

Mom, I don't know. Dad hasn't slept at home since yesterday.

Miss.

-Angela, your food is excellent. -Did you like it? Thank you.

[cell phone ringing]

It's mine.

Hi, Mom.

I know. It's just that I didn't know where you were.

Okay. No need to shout. I'm on my way.

Yes, you are. Yes, I am. Kiss.

Mom told me to run home and said you had to go too.

I'm staying.

Do you want me to order you a cab?

Yes, I do.

Do you call?

Come in.

Come on in!

Hi, Clarice.

Come in.

It's up here.

Would you like a coffee? water, anything?

-No, thank you. -I've been missing, haven't I?

Sorry, I forgot to uncheck the appointments.

I can't make it. I'm a bit wrapped up.

I know very well why you're missing, Angela.

What are you doing with my son?

I was going to call you. I was going to talk to you.

I thought you might... really be upset.

We're dating.

How long has it been?

There's... I don't know. There's not much time.

He looks handsome in that second photo. I thought he looked so handsome.

Angela, you don't understand.

You're not... in a state capable of understanding too.

You're playing house with my son.

I don't know who is the most immature in this story, I swear.

Wait, your son is... almost 18, Clarice.

-And you're over 40. -Yeah.

What's the problem?

I'm doing him a lot of good. And he for me.

Can't you see how well I'm doing?

Angela, what you're doing is abuse.

You abused a situation.

You abused the fact that I had the office in my house.

You abused... you're abusing a 17-year-old boy.

-You don't know anything, Clarice. -What don't I know?

-I see what's happening. -No, you don't.

He's almost 18 and a very mature guy.

Do you know Diogo? Do you know your son?

-Of course I know him... -Have you heard the songs he writes?

Have you read what he writes? He's a very mature guy.

There's nothing childish about him. He knows what he's doing.

Of course I know my son. That's why I'm here.

He has no life experience. Before you he... he was a virgin.

He has little or no sexual experience.

You're abusing it.

What do you want? To regain your youth? Is that it?

That's not how you'll recover.

I'm sorry, that's not how you're going to regain your youth.

Think about it. Look at me and think about it.

I'm not doing anything.

What is he to you? Is he a boyfriend?

-É. -Or is it a son? The son you didn't have.

There's no point in talking because...

your emotional instability doesn't make you realize

what you're doing, Angela.

You are repeating a pattern you had with your father,

you had with the boyfriends from your teenage years,

-that you had with your husband... -But I...

...and you want to repeat that with Diogo,

only now you're the aggressor.

And he wants to to do this to my son.

With my son! And I won't let him!

I won't let my son be played

in the hand of a depressed forty-year-old with a history of suicide.

I'm sorry, I won't let you!

Oh, Clarice.

That's not fair.

It's not fair.

[cell phone ringing]

-No one answers. -But she's at home, isn't she?

You are.

Try again!

Please.

Mrs. Angela? Mrs. Angela...

Diogo is down here. He asked if...

[confirmation sound]

No problem. It's okay, Mrs. Angela.

Nothing.

She asked you to come back another day.

I can't even with her over the intercom?

She asked me not to call again today.

[phone ringing]

Angela, it's me.

Answer the phone, please.

I'm worried.

I've been calling you all day today.

[cell phone ringing]

Are you crazy? I could be with a patient!

You went there, didn't you?

-Sit down. -No, Mom. I'm not going to sit on your couch.

Let's talk in the living room.

How are you going to get involved with a woman...

who is twice your age?

-My patient! -What's it to you?

What do I have to do with it? I have an ethical commitment, you know.

I could fuck myself because of this story.

Mom, for starters, she's no longer your patient.

And I'm the one who's getting involved with her. You have nothing to do with this story.

Diogo, you're 17.

You have no idea what you're getting yourself into.

That... that girl, Angela...

it is unstable.

It can hurt you in a way that you're not prepared for.

More than you've already hurt me?

-I did it to protect you! -But it's you I need protection from!

[door slamming]

You're not leaving this room, are you?

I'm not really into to see other people.

[typing on cell phone]

[zipper opening]

[Bianca] Hello.

-Hello, Bianca? -Hi, sweetheart.

What's your name?

Fabio.

Fabio.

So, Fabio, you called me

because you want to play with me, do you?

-É. -What a treat.

You want to start

putting his hot, wet and hard in my mouth, do you want it?

Do you like it?

[Diogo confirms]

Wow, my ass is wiggling just imagining it.

By the way, do you like a tight, tasty ass, do you?

I love giving my ass.

And I love men who like to eat ass. Do you, Fábio?

Do you want to? Are you strong, Fábio?

[call ended]

[rock music - cell phone ringing]

Hello.

[gasping]

Angela?

[gasping]

Angela?

Talk to me.

Angela?

Pull here. Here.

[Angela] Come and live with me.

Hello?

Come.

You know won't have peace with your mother, right?

You know that is all I want most.

But I don't know if I can.

Diogo.

You'll be of age soon.

Less than a month to go for you to turn 18.

There's not much your parents can do.

-But what about the money? -I have it.

You don't have to worry about that.

No. I don't feel comfortable knowing that I'm going to be bankrolled by you.

But that's just the beginning. Don't you already earn money teaching?

So. Just get more students.

You play so many instruments.

-You're crazy. -I am.

Where are you going?

-Get my things. -Now?

Why not?

You're crazy.

I'm going to Angela's.

Are you going to live there?

[Diogo confirms]

When have you felt most alone?

I don't know.

I think always.

Do you remember Laika?

That dog that the Russians sent into space?

I remember. Why is that?

I don't know. I don't think anyone can feel more alone than her.

She stayed there in space, with no way back.

I keep thinking how I would feel in her place.

Mari, you're not like her, are you?

-No? -No.

More like that monkey that the Russians managed to bring back.

Why? Do you think I won't be alone forever?

No. It's just that you're getting full of hair on your leg.

Fuck off! I'm fucking serious.

-Stop! -Hey.

-Stop! -Ai, ai.

Okay, I've stopped. Oh, it hurts.

Okay, I've stopped.

No, stop!

-You're the one with hair on your leg. -Hey. I only have a little. Stop.

But you have a lot more than I do.

-I'm not! -It's turning purple now. Mari, stop.

Okay, I've stopped. I've stopped.

I want to see you catch me!

Come back!

Stop it now!

Ouch.

I won't be able to go anywhere alone. Is that it?

What?

What do you want me to do, Diogo? I really don't know what else to do.

Do you want me to tie you to the foot of the table? I don't know, I said...

Clarice.

Son, it's only for a while.

Just until we understand what to do about this woman.

That woman?

From that story.

How are we going to deal with all this.

Do you understand, my son?

Good?

You don't have to understand. But that's how it's going to be.

Okay? That's how it's going to be.

[door opening]

[door slamming]

Diogo.

Give your mother a kiss.

Guilherme isn't coming?

I don't know.

Is everything all right?

We broke up.

Why?

-Did anyone see you leave? -No. I said I was going to the bathroom.

Really?

Here. You drive.

Really? [Angela confirms]

Let's go.

Where are we going?

I don't know.

I don't know.

[car starting]
