Hey, hey, come here, have some water!

She needs to get out of here! Marie, come on, let's go outside!

Come, come.

Still nothing?

No.

Be patient a little longer.

Come closer, you're too far away!

And why should I come closer?

Well, so I can have a drag, too!

Okay, there you go!

Great, thank you very much!

Hold the camera a little lower!

Is it that good?

And so?

Even lower?

Yes.

Shit!

I can't believe it...

ANDREA 20:07 IT'S MY FATHER

PAU 20:07 THAT'S NOT YOUR FATHER

Yes, I'm quite sure she'll understand.

We need to talk to her!

Okay, but we have to approach this carefully!

Were you in my room earlier?

Yes. I had a quick look.

This arrived.

BIRTH CERTIFICATE ...GAVE THE NAME ANDREA.

I got my name from my mother!

And we respected that.

I was born in Buenos Aires!

Ah, yes, that's where we picked you up from. Why, what does it say?

It says La Plata!

Well, we went to Buenos Aires

and they were expecting us at the hospital there.

And then a baby was handed over to us there.

That was you!

Who did this?

It was a woman, a nurse.

And my mother, where was she?

We already told you, Andrea!

We were told that she didn't want to meet us.

She had specifically requested it.

She also wanted you to be adopted from another country,

far away from Argentina!

It's not easy to explain that to a little girl!

What did you expect?

If my uncle hadn't let it slip out at Christmas,

you would never have told me!

We wanted to wait until you were old enough.

Until I'm forty, right?!

We only meant well!

DEATH CERTIFICATE

What's going on?

It says here that my mother died...

Just a month ago!

- I'm sorry. Can I see it? - No!

You could have said that before!

She was 26 at the time.

Perhaps her family had to move to Argentina

For professional reasons.

Hmm. Yes, maybe.

Did you find anything else?

Hey, did you find anything else?

- Pau! - What's going on?

She killed a girl. When she was my age!

- What are you saying?! - Yes!

And twenty years later, she's released

and found dead in the same house where she was arrested.

Shit, honey!

And your parents?

What do they say?

Nothing. I don't know, I hardly speak to either of them.

I'm so annoyed that I can't be with you!

Yeah, me too!

Then come to me!

You'll be back soon.

It doesn't matter!

I'm here now.

Okay, but please call me later!

There was nothing there, Pau!

Not in the store, Not in the street, nowhere!

That can't be, that just can't be!

Please, go over it again!

Yes, I know, that's kind of weird!

I don't get it. What the hell is going on here?!

Whatever, give me your passport number now! Please!

No, Pau, I said no! My exams are coming up!

What kind of nonsense is this now?!

Exams? Do you realize what's going on with you?

It doesn't matter, I'll come to Madrid if I have to!

I miss you so much, sweetheart. And I love you.

Do you understand?

I love you too!

Okay, listen for a minute, you could be here on Saturday!

That would be the day after tomorrow.

What do you say?

Good. Good. I'll give you the number!

So, was that so difficult?

Andrea, hard as nails!

Okay, just a minute.

Is that Tom?

No, he just left.

- Now give me your number! - but I can see him!

No, honey, seriously, there's nobody there!

- Yes. - Maybe you did.

Yes, there in the doorway, I can see him!

- Turn around! - Shit, what do you mean?

Pau! Pau, Pau, Pau, you have to get out of there immediately!

Hey, what are you doing in here?

Oh God, no, Pau!

No, no, oh my God!

Sweetheart, tell me where you are!

Please tell me where you are, I can't see you anymore!

Please, please, show yourself!

Please, show yourself! Please, I need help here!

Please, you have to help me! You have to help me here now!

Absolutely not! Our phone calls are being recorded.

The police said they weren't.

Why would they lie to us?

- A bit naive, aren't you?! - Please, that's enough!

It was that man again!

And how would he know where Pau is?

It was him!

It's an old man.

Pau couldn't see him.

But I could.

I saw him on the screen!

The police say, I'm still in shock.

But I swear, it's true!

And now I'm so scared!

I'm scared that he's here right now...

And that he's sitting with us!

What are you doing?

I want to know if he's here.

Sweetie, no one's here!

We can't see him.

But he's here!

Okay. I don't get what's going on here.

Relax, calm down we'll get through this!

Were you able to get some sleep?

No.

I can feel him here!

Andrea, there's no one here!

You're scaring me!

If you don't believe me.

Then why are you afraid?

ANDREA 07:35 I DREAMED THAT YOU WERE SLEEPING WITH ME

Andrea?

Sweetheart, you have to get up soon!

Come on.

Get in the shower!

Come on!

Yes.

- It'll be okay! - I can't!

Yes, you've got it!

Now come on up, okay?

It's been two months now!

- No, it's still here! - Mom, please!

- I need it. I need my cell phone! - There's no one here!

- I'm begging you! - Now listen for a second, okay?

I'm begging you!

Come on!

You don't understand.

I can't even imagine what you're going through right now, sweetheart!

Losing someone like that.

That's so awful!

But you still have your whole life ahead of you.

Yes, with lots of projects and your friends...

You have to find your way back to a normal life.

And look to the future!

A friend of mine knows someone at the French Embassy

and they've contacted your mother's family.

It's possible that she might have another sister in Brussels.

Andrea!

Have you told me everything about your trip to Argentina?

Were you able to find anything out about my mother?

Well, the person we were with told us that Marie...

...suffered from some kind of disorder.

What was wrong with her?

Mom!

I think she was mentally ill.

I'm really sorry, but I really don't know any more!

Shouldn't we try to reach your aunt in Brussels?

Finally, we're moving on!

Andrea. Is everything okay?

Has something happened? Just tell me!

Do you want to go?

Everything's going to shit right now.

This can't go on!

Come on, come here.

We've really missed you!

You have to help me now!

Of course. Whatever it is!

Well, we could always start with vodka!

Yes, exactly!

Yes, of course!

What is it?

What is this?

That's weird.

Do you know what this is?

It's gone!

Andrea, what the fuck is going on here?!

Nothing!

I'll be right back.

Andrea!

What are you doing?

Shouldn't we help you?

I want to take a quick look at something.

- What? - I'm not entirely sure.

Really?!

I'm just going upstairs for a minute.

What the fuck do you want up there?

I kind of know this house, but it doesn't make sense.

And where do you think you know it from?

From Argentina.

What are you up to?

Andrea, who lives here?!

Nobody!

Didn't you say that nobody lives here?

I just want to be sure!

I think we should go now!

Wait for me here.

God, I hate you!

You can't see anything here!

Where are you going?!

Andrea, come here!

Don't go!

There's someone there!

Where?

- Up ahead! - Please, let's go now!

I can't see anything!

It's him! Run!

- Oh God, we have to get out of here! - Hurry, hurry!

- Help! - Andrea, Andrea...

Hello, is anyone there... Andrea?

I want out. I want out of here!

Andrea!

Andrea, open the door! Andrea...

Andrea!

Open the door!

Andrea!

Open the door, please! Andrea!

What happened in there?

When?

The night of the party. What happened there?

Nothing happened in there!

You've been different since then, I swear.

Oh, you're just making shit up!

Yeah, maybe I am.

And you've got a bad Memory.

Why? Should I remember something?

You should remember the rules again.

Oh,fuck the rules!

Then everything will go to shit!

All right...

Who wants to go first?

In my opinion, it wasn't bad.

I actually thought it was pretty good.

So, you thought it wasn't bad. What did you like?

Well, the story! Yes!

The story really wasn't bad and besides, there were also

Some interesting shots.

And it was the right runtime, too.

Yeah, you're not wrong there!

For two people who are Just talking to each other in bed, that was

pretty good pacing, I'd say.

Anyone else?

Yes, and then there was the theme of the femme fatale.

Okay. And how exactly?

Well, I think it's clear that Cami is trying to say something else with this.

Okay, and what is she trying to tell us?

I dunno, because she's much smarter than me.

I'd have to watch it again for that.

Would you like to add anything else to that, Camila?

No. Nothing.

Cami.

Camila!

So, what do you think?

Well. Pretty good.

That short wasn't good. And you know that!

The script was bad and so were the settings.

We didn't even know Where the story was set. Where was it?

In Massachusetts?

Well, it definitely wasn't La Plata!

Do you have any ideas for your next work?

Yes, some ideas, but nothing fixed in stone.

Don't make it too difficult for yourself.

Go to the prop room, grab a camera

and find something from the real world!

There's still a little time before the next class.

Shall we go to my office?

We can go over your ideas there?

Sorry, I can't.

OK.

Excuse me! Can you let me out?

Cami, are you having dinner with us this evening?

No, I've got stuff on.

Lisbeth, Lisbeth?!

Hello?

Hello!

Who's here?

ABORTION IS CRIMINAL

DIRECTED BY CAMILA SEOANE

Open the curtains.

Good.

Who wants to start?

Anybody?

Cami, did the girl know that you were filming her?

I think she did.

Okay. What we saw was fiction.

And not a documentary, right?

Well, it was kind of

strange and scary at the same time.

I liked it!

You don't usually see things like that.

I see, the guardian angel again!

Anyone else?

Who wants to go next?

- I'd love to! - Please.

I think today's task...

I'm sorry. Don't you want to say something about it?!

There's not much to say!

If you want to talk about it, then come by my office!

I don't want to come to your office.

I'm sure you liked it, I want your opinion!

That was your most amateurish short film ever.

You broke all the rules.

Maybe you were going for something avant-garde, but it just didn't work!

Just like these out-of-focus shots don't work.

And the editing doesn't add anything either!

I didn't understand any of the content,

because it just didn't appeal to me!

If you ask me, it was exhibitionist and shallow!

Anything else?

No, thank you very much.

Okay, now you're on!

My task was to make a film from the perspective of dislike.

Hey, Cami!

Did Cuevas feel alright about it?

No, why?

How did you find this actress?

She's a friend.

I'd like to work with her too. She's really good!

She doesn't like working with people she doesn't know.

Could you put us in touch?

She's back in France right now.

Maybe when she gets back.

Don't get upset, he's just a fucking fascist.

Want to have a drink? My treat!

No, not today.

Okay, so, you''d rather be alone, crying and watching Polish films?

Wait!

You really liked my film?

No.

Where are you?

Hey, sweetie, I have the feeling you're not recording anything at all!

You could film me, right?!

You can't be serious! Think about it!

What's going on?

It doesn't matter.

- Hey! - What?!

What was that all about? What the fuck was that all about?!

What was that all about? What the fuck are you talking about?!

You know exactly what I mean! Unbelievable!

I have no idea what you're talking about! What's going on?

Then you'd better think about it again.

That's fucked up! I think you've really lost it!

Could you maybe talk to me normally for once?!

Oh, you know what? It'd be better if you just left me the fuck alone!

I'm also here because I have a friend

who wants to Get into acting.

I don't know if I really like him.

But I'd also like to do something with a couple, you know?

- For example, with... - My girlfriend,

the actress from the movie.

- Yes. - She's back.

I can give you her number.

You know that I've already met her, don't you?

No.

Yes, at "Blast."

- Where? - At "Blast," the club!

Cami, you need to get out more.

You'll never be a good director if you're always stuck at home!

Is that a bar?

More like a club with a big bar attached.

People just want to dance and party!

Yeah, I think I saw something about that in a post.

Yeah, you should come along sometime.

- Yeah, should I? - Yeah, we can still go.

Sounds good. Is Marie coming too?

What's up?

You Jealous?

Maybe.

Man, you really could have warned me that that chick was fucking crazy!

Were you at her house?

Was there an old man there, too?

No, we were alone.

Are you sure?

She told me

that acting isn't that important to her...

I also asked her about your film.

She hadn't heard of it.

That's weird.

Don't worry, I didn't say anything.

About what?

That you filmed her, without her knowing.

Why the fuck would you tell her that?!

She was probably drunk.

And she wosn't remember anything anyway.

She was really into her beer.

Yeah, and vodka, marijuana and pills, of course.

- Did you keep a list? - No, those guys!

Oh, those guys!

Looks like she fucked half of La Plata.

Yeah, and you fucked the other half!

That's nice!

But enough about her for now.

How are you doing?

Yeah, same old same old. And you?

Same.

- No! - Why, what is it?

Why? What's going on?

Okay, but then why are you here?

Are you into me or not?

No!

Hey!

How are you doing?

I know you.

No, I don't think you do!

Yeah, I think I do.

Oh no. What?

Oh no, please not again!

So what do you do, Camila?

I'm studying film.

You want to be an actress?

No. A director.

And are you any good?

I could be something, but I still have a long way to go.

I just met a guy who also studies film.

He's tall and very cute. He has pretty short hair.are.

Do you know him?

No.

Better you don't! He was kind of an idiot too!

And what do you do?

Nothing at the moment!

Are you thinking about moving here?

No!

No? You probably watch this a lot, right?

I don't know.

I don't have a good feeling.

Tell me, has it ever crossed your mind

to sneak into an empty house where no one will find you?

Have you got a boyfriend?

No, thank fuck, no!

But that wouldn't be so bad, would it?

And you?

No.

But I would tell you.

Especially if he were an idiot!

Would you like to tell me something?

No, um.

So, what do we want to do tomorrow?

You could maybe show me a new club.

One that's new to me!

We could also go to the movies

Sounds good!

And your parents, where are they?

China. Chile. Cyprus.

My...

My father is a complete fucking idiot!

He's an idiot.

And I couldn't give a shit about him!

Oh!

No!

Please don't go!

There's a T-shirt over there.

Camila?

What?

I feel like I'm slowly going crazy.

No, don't say that.

But it's true.

Because we're cursed.

What are you saying?

I'll look after you.

PREGNANCY TEST

Hi.

Hio.

I'm a friend of Marie's.

Can you tell me where she is?

She was supposed to be back soon.

Lisbeth.

Go play in the garden for a bit.

Get dressed!

Yes, sorry.

Did she say where she wanted to go?

No.

She was supposed to take care of her sister today.

But, once again, she's skipping it!

You know. Marie loves her sister very much!

How is she doing?

I think she's doing pretty well.

Marie needs help!

I think I can help!

I mean professional help!

What do you think is wrong with her?

I'm afraid she's going the same way as her mother..

And what's with her mother?

She always avoids the subject!

That's private.

Family matter.

Okay, if you see her, please tell her

that I'm taking care of Lisbeth.

It's best not to tell her anything!

You can find your own way out?

- Hey! - Hi!

- D'you have a moment? - Why, what happened?

Nothing! You wanted to go to the movies!

What, nothing?!

- Come on, let's watch a movie! - Come on, tell me, who was that?!

- I dunno. - Of course you do!

What's going on, who is that guy, please?

No, not a guy!

No. No, no, no! Camila, please wait! I beg you!

Camila, stop!

Is Adolfo the father?

Or the old man?

How on earth do you know about that?

Please, don't let it be the old man!

Which old man are you talking about?

The one who's always with you!

What on earth are you talking about?

Come on!

This way.

Cami!

We're in my room!

Hey, what's that?

You old pisshead! Tell me, what's that all about?!

- Wait! Please, please wait a second! - That's disgusting! Turn that off!

- Please, just a second. Just a sec. - Turn that off!

It's him, isn't it?

Did he do something?

I don't know.

We're going to the police! Come on, come on!

I was alone!

Me. No one was there!

Hello, are you Cami's friend?

Are you okay?

What's going on? Let me see!

What's going on?

Tell me what happened!

Excuse me, I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. - Now tell me, what did you do?

Hey, hey! What happened? What's going on?!

Is it here yet?

No, it's a lot further ahead. That way!

Hello?

Lisbeth, it's me!

- Is something wrong? - No, I'm fine.

I need to tell you something.

You have to listen to me now, okay?

Yeah, course.

You have to really watch your back from now on!

Do you understand?

Give me the phone and go to your room.

Marie, where are you?

Dad!

- Sweetheart, listen, I... - Dad, I have to tell you something.

Sweetie, I want you to come home right now!

Daddy, I have to tell you something!

It's really hard, so please listen! You have to listen to me now!

They say you killed a girl, your girlfriend!

I don't understand any of this!

- Tell me what happened! - It wasn't me!

But the police say they found your bag in her room!

It wasn't me, it was him!

What are you saying? Who? Who, Marie?

I don't know who he is!

Christ, you're really scaring me!

Do you understand?!

Please, tell me where you are now and I'll come and get you right away!

Yeah, I'll tell you. But you have to listen to me, okay?!

OK, OK.

So, tell me!

It's a man, an old man! And you can only see him on film!

Marie, please, what are you on about?

Yes, I know, but he's always with me. And he was with Mom too!

Listen, Mom died because of him.

He came to me after Mom died!

- That's how it happened! - What do you mean?

Marie, which man?

I don't know.

But he's the reason Mom died.

Sweetie, listen, you're in shock!

Come home and then we can go overall this calmly!

Mom left because she wanted to protect us!

No, Marie! Your mother killed herself!

- No! - She wasn't well!

She left home and took her own life!

- Please don't say that! - Listen, I just can't take this anymore!

- I can't take this anymore! - Dad!

Dad, you can think whatever you want about me,

but you have to promise me that you'll look after Lisbeth, okay?!

- What? - Do you hear? He can't hurt her!

Your sister will never turn out like you!

No. No!

I want to talk to her!

No, you can't!

Yes, please! I want to talk to her!

Please, leave her the fuck alone!

Did you hear me?!

I'll call again.

And then I'll explain everything to you!

No, come home now, Marie!

You need urgent help!

So, please, just come home now!

Please look after Lisbeth, okay?!

- Tell me where you are now! - You've to take care of her!

Marie, don't hang up now!

- Marie, please don't hang up now! - See you soon, Dad.

Mom, Mom!

No, no, no. No, I want out of here!

No. No, no, no! No!

No. Let me go. No!

Open the door! Come on, open it now!

Come on, open the door now! Come on.

Open it!

- There she is! - Mom, I'll get you out of there!

Wait, I'm coming!

Drop that! Come on! - No, no, no!

Calm down!

- No, no! - Calm down, calm down!

- No. - Come on, get in the car!

All right, all right! Get her in there!

- Come on, Get her in there! - No.

- Come on! - Mom.

No, no.

Hello Lisbeth, this is Mercedes.

I'm calling to tell you that Sara is finally coming.

She's a friend of Andrea's.

She was with her when she died.

And she'd like to come to talk to you.

Thank you again for letting us meet you.

I really think this is important to understand

what happened to your sister and my daughter.

Because when Andrea told us back then,

We just couldn't believe her.

But now we've realized that it's all true.

I hope this helps us all.

So, Lisbeth, how are you?

Actually, I'm fine, but I'm worried.

Yes, of course, I can understand that.

With everything you've had to go through so far.

But believe me, everything will be better soon, I promise.

I'm absolutely sure.

I think the same thing is happening to me right now.

You too?

Don't worry.

We're here!

LISBETH BRUSSELS, 2023
