Hi, Barbara.

I haven't seen you at the gallery for days.

Just wanted to check if you're still alive.

If anything happens to me, you'll be the first to know. I've been working on it.

Can I have a look?

Not bad.

Cute.

What's with the cute?

Okay. Cover up. It's time for a break.

You probably feel cold.

Coffee, anyone?

Yes, thanks. Sorry, Laura. I'm so unsociable.

Where is it?

There it is.

Look.

I don't see your vision anymore, but here I do.

What are you saying?

The material was what distinguished you. The breath of life in your work.

Think about it.

Okay.

Look.

You can see the material right here.

Do both pieces seem the same?

Yeah, I guess you got a point there.

Just to recognize myself in my work.

Maybe if you just tried something different.

What about tomorrow?

You free?

Why?

The Silent Night, Holy Night.

You know how I like that holiday.

Are you already doing anything with someone?

Not at all.

How about just you and me celebrate Christmas Eve, just like the time when

were married?

It'll be nice.

And your mother?

Oh, come on. All right, I'll tell her to go to my sister's, okay? That sounds

perfect. Atta boy.

See you tomorrow. Don't be late.

Look at the stuff I have to do, right?

And your coffee? Merry Christmas.

Bye. So long.

Laura. Record will be down.

with the artwork.

You'll have to learn to keep the two things separate.

Am I right?

The same happened with you.

Doesn't mean it was all a waste.

Oh, come on. You lucked out with me.

And every time you remind me of it.

Just tell me how you feel about it. Give me your opinion.

I don't know. It's hard to judge other people's work.

Art is so subjective.

Okay. You don't approve.

You don't even give a damn.

I seem to have been fortunate.

And the presents?

A change of subject. Okay.

Let's see now.

Must be this red one, right?

Look at him. Can't wait to unwrap it.

This year you arrived to Christmas Eve at least.

And how about you open yours?

Go on. On Christmas Day.

Tradition. I love their traditions in spite of the bad times. They do.

That's all that matters.

We just both needed our own spaces.

I'm so happy that you're here with me.

Beautiful. Terrific.

Thank you.

Really.

Hey.

You here?

Yeah, yeah. Right here.

How I wish you were truly here with me.

Respond on as usual.

I'm totally clueless.

It's like I'm a painter without any inspiration.

Like a body without a soul.

You're not alone.

Beautiful shirt, huh?

You like it? Yeah, a lot.

Just like me.

Thinking we could have spent Christmas Day together as a couple.

It's best that I leave. I'd be lousy company.

You know I care for you, right?

And you're important to me.

Not even a tiny cup of coffee before you leave?

Okay, Laura, let's call it a day.

George, are you okay?

Spectacular.

I don't know. If that could work, that's not really mine.

You can give it to me.

I agree with you.

Pantene is yours.

Your Christmas gift for me.

Here, let me sign it.

The artist defines them as the figurative translation of the aniric

tormented him while traveling.

And that one's from the series called Out On.

He wants to think of it as some sort of intellectual entity that is related to

the one that we just... Please don't go away.

Have you got a wire?

He's already bought three.

Thanks for your brief intuition.

My compliments.

Indulge me. Come on, I'll introduce me.

Please let me introduce my husband.

Pleased to meet you, Georgia.

My pleasure, Antonia. I know you. I have one of your words.

Ah, I'm glad.

You see?

I'll keep looking. Please do.

Listen, will you ever forgive me?

Huh?

Just for leaving me alone on the one occasion I'd wait all year for as a kid?

The mistletoe, presents, kisses, so much love.

I get it, I get it.

Ah, but at least you've had the courage to admit it, and that's a good sign. I

know.

Now don't tell me that you came by just to tell me that you're an asshole.

I think I know.

And I'm sure it's important.

Now tell me.

I've been thinking about something you once said.

I think you're right.

And what is it?

That I lost myself, and I missed my inspiration, and so I need it again.

That's what.

And you're hoping to find your inspiration here?

I just wanted to say that I'm leaving.

And where are you headed?

Manila. I have a friend there that I contacted and haven't seen him in a

Manila? What are you going to do in Manila?

Copy and go again?

That was Tahiti.

Hey.

I know, silly. And you are not Gauguin.

Well, you clearly want this.

There's no feeling bad about it.

But promise me that you'll take good care of yourself and that you'll send me

some news about you, all right? Confident.

Here.

The boy can't exist without Mia. What do I do without you?

Bye.

Absolutely. You will find what you're looking for, Rob.

I hope.

Hey, there is a naked boy.

You might be surprised.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Let's go see the room.

This is the room I booked for you.

It was your request.

It was a good light.

That's for your painting.

Right?

Nice. I like it.

Anyway, don't think a lot.

Take a rest.

I will see you tonight.

All right. I'll see you tonight. See you.

Thank you.

May I?

Sure. Nice.

Kinda looks like me.

Actually, I would like you to pose for me.

I unintentionally did already.

I'm sorry. I should ask you.

I know.

Oh, good.

Don't forget the next time.

Wait!

Thank you. Good for you. It's beautiful.

How much is it?

What's your book?

Oh! I forgot it.

Thanks.

Can I ask for your name?

All right.

Going to check the moon?

Red moon, beautiful red moon.

I think this one is fine.

Thank you,

Mom. Thank you.

Bye -bye. Thanks.

So how is it?

Great.

So?

So what about what?

You didn't ask for my name.

Oh, yes.

What's your name?

Emmanuel. Nice to meet you.

Georgia. Nice to meet you. All right. I really have to go now.

Can I come with you?

Bueno.

Where are you from?

I'm from Rome, Italy.

I'm just arriving in Manila.

Oh, for holidays?

Kind of. I'm a painter, you know. I do paintings for living and for affection,

of course. Like all the greatest artists that will be famous when I die.

Look, I really have to ask you.

Did you follow me before?

I saw you this morning in the space of the slums. Remember?

You passed in front of me.

Well, I'm sorry.

You know, the area is full of Italian painters, so... Oh, really?

No, I'm kidding.

Well, I really have to go now.

How can I find you?

I'll find you. What's your place?

All right.

I'll call you.

Okay.

Hi, Barbara.

I just wanted to tell you that I'm here in Manila. I just got here.

And everything's fine.

I love the room. I love the hotel.

And you already have my list of contacts that I left you in Rome, just in case

my phone dies.

And what else?

Think about me.

Bye -bye, Barbara.

Hey, buddy.

Why are you making me come upstairs?

I was waiting for you at the lobby.

Sorry, I was just sending a voice message to Barbara.

Oh, okay.

Look, I'm here to restart to paint again, right? Okay. I was wondering if

know any models around here.

Absolutely. As many as you want.

And,

by the way, what are you doing here in Manila?

Come on.

Later, I'm going to explain to you. Let's go.

Okay. Let's go. You see this girl?

See this girl?

But not all of them girls.

Not all of them girls.

Okay,

would you?

Actually, maybe we can go to that corner.

Let's go.

Thank you.

No, no, no, thank you.

I'll show you the most beautiful girls in Angela.

Welcome. Come lie over here.

You will enjoy.

See? All right. See? The person are beautiful.

See? Thank you. Thank you.

Hi, brother.

Nice to see you.

Have a seat.

So, I want beer for me.

I'm going to have two for me, thank you.

What are you drinking?

You have to offer to all girls here.

I'm only starting to relax now.

Many others.

See? Look.

Hello, Lorenzo. Hi, baby.

Hello, Lorenzo.

Like many others, huh? Well, not like many.

Cheers, bro.

Hey,

buddy, I can no longer control this girl. I'll put a check and leave.

What are you saying?

Let's have fun.

Everything's at bay.

Even her.

She might get mad.

Okay, thank you for the drink, man. I'll leave everything to you.

I know you're gonna be fine with these two girls, okay?

You're so boring, bro.

Do you mind stopping with the curly girl?

Yes, of course.

She's my best friend, and she's very good.

Okay.

What's your name?

My mom.

What's your name?

Diana.

Hello? Hello, Mr. Velletti. There is a phone call for you.

Okay, fine, thanks.

Barbara, do you know what time it is?

Yeah, it's seven o 'clock.

Sorry, I thought you were a friend of mine.

What are you doing so early in the morning?

Here the day becomes early.

Did I wake you up?

No, not at all.

So you're going to pull through me then?

Great. How can I pick you up?

Oh, I'll be there in one hour.

Okay, fine.

I'm here when you want.

All right. Bye.

Bye.

Good. That's enough for today. Is it done?

I'm just getting started. Want to see it?

Can't wait.

Doesn't it look like me at all?

That's the way I see it.

A portrait is not a photograph.

Why you didn't paint my dress? You don't like it.

I love it, but I want to concentrate on you now.

We'll think about the dress later. Don't worry about that.

If you wanted to pay me naked, you could have just said it.

Something wrong?

My neck hurts. It was a trip.

All right, lay down.

I'll remove this.

Want to grab something to eat?

What time is it?

Shit! I'm late. I'm sorry. I have to go. Can we do tomorrow?

Tomorrow sounds fine, yeah.

All right. Thank you. Bye -bye.

Bye.

Where are you taking me now?

Thank you.

I'm going to play the check.

Helen, it's me.

I found her.

Where are we going now?

I don't know. Probably you're going to your hotel. I'm leaving.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be intrusive. I just thought we could spend the evening

together. Where do you want him to take you?

Just set it to the hotel.

All right.

So tomorrow 10 a .m. for my portrait?

That sounds fine.

All right.

See you tomorrow.

Buy you something sweet.

For later.

Hi, Alma.

How was it today?

As always.

We had respiratory crisis.

Unfortunately, she immediately recovered.

Let me help you. Okay.

How's the little one doing?

Excuse me, do we know you?

Another crisis today?

You should take care of her a bit more.

What do you mean? I know you. We made a private dance the other day.

Yes. We first met at the spa.

I know everything about you.

All right.

What's going on?

I have something to offer you.

I think you're confusing me with someone else.

No, no confusion at all.

I know what you do for your daughter's treatment.

Get out of my house.

Aren't you curious to know what I have for you? I say, get out.

As you wish.

You could have saved your daughter.

What did you mean before?

I know what kind of treatment your daughter needs.

You'll never be able to save her.

I can get you all the care she needs, including a session to a clinic.

This life has taught me many things, and I know very well that nothing comes for

free. Fuck your life.

In exchange, you'll have to do a job for an agency I've spent.

When it's done, you'll be free to go back to your life.

Knowing your daughter will be taken care of.

Coming!

Morning, Manuel.

Morning. Very punctual.

I'm sorry.

Wait. I've got a present for you.

Here.

This one? Yeah, that one.

Oh, it's a dress.

So beautiful.

Wow,

nice.

It's for the paintings.

You can look now.

Very good. You're so beautiful.

Yeah.

Hi, Joe. So you're not dead yet.

Hi, Barbara.

How are you? Good.

After your last message...

You're right. I'm sorry I didn't get any messages.

But you know that I care for you. Or are you pretending that you don't?

Okay, don't be worried, Barbara.

If you don't hear anything from me, it doesn't mean that I don't love you. It's

because I'm busy, you know, and trying to get used to this new reality.

And how's that working out?

Pretty good. I met a woman who was helping me a lot.

Ah, so you keep entertained.

Yeah, she's very beautiful.

She has a way of seeing life that fascinates me.

Don't worry, Barbara.

How was your night?

Not bad. I had a few nice clients.

And a few nice drinks, I see.

Yep. Well, you had for sure more fun than I did.

Mine was shit.

Yeah, high season is over already.

Hey.

You know what? It's going to go back to Italy and forget all about you, right? I

know. Manu, keep your priorities straight. I do. It's just that I need

break after all of what I've been through lately. It's so nice of me.

I hope you're not catching feelings.

Of course not.

Cheers to that.

Cheers.

You got me again.

Good job.

You got me again.

Doctor is gonna take care of you, right Doctor?

We will do everything in our power.

Fortunately, we intervened in time. Bringing her here saved her life.

Okay, let me check.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Okay.

Thank you, doctor.

Thank you, doctor.

Will you stay with me, mother?

I can now, baby, because you have to go to work so that I can pay for your

treatment. But don't worry, because you're going to feel better soon.

You're going to spend time together, all right?

You promise me?

What are you doing here?

I've been to the clinic yesterday.

Are you following me?

There's no need, it's obvious, going to visit her.

Anyway, I keep in my words, now it's your turn.

You still didn't tell me anything about this job.

They didn't say I work for once a girl, like it's someone who doesn't hold up,

and someone is out from our business as well. Can you just get straight to the

point and tell me what it is about?

We do things, should no one, in order to them.

We often use people outside of our environment.

Remember, I told you, I would have reached at the right time.

And now the time has come. But why me?

Because you need it. A beautiful, experienced girl like you can achieve

she wants.

You're basically telling me that I have to become a different agent. I mean, do

you see me?

So what am I supposed to do?

I'll let you know.

What if I refuse or fail?

Refusing is not an option.

About the failure?

Make sure it doesn't happen.

Make better in that way.

Focus on what you do instead.

By the way, get rid of the man you're hung out with.

What should I tell him?

It's not typical for you to dump a man.

What about my job?

I don't care what you do in that place. It's up to you.

was perfect thank you enough yeah sure

You're so beautiful.

And I never met someone like you.

I have an Italian friend.

And he's a painter.

And I want to tell him about you.

Maybe you could boost for him.

You're lucky this time. You don't pay.

We'll see you again?

Sure. I'll be back.

Lorenzo, you had to tell me it was so urgent.

Hey, Giorgio.

Yeah, man, you won't believe what happened.

I went to the club tonight and had a special meeting with a beautiful lady.

Guess what?

We had sex, and she didn't even want to get paid.

I want you to meet her.

Maybe your inspiration will be back.

Come on, Lorenzo, don't, please.

You don't understand. You don't have to go with her.

I just want to introduce you to her.

That's all.

Come on.

All right, but tomorrow, not tonight.

Okay, deal?

Deal. Deal.

So do the water?

No.

You like it? Oh, finally.

I look like a princess.

You are.

To me.

So nice.

How

was

your night yesterday?

I met my friend Lorenzo.

Why don't you tell me about the girl you met?

And what's so special about this girl?

I don't know. He wants me to meet her tomorrow night.

I don't know.

Hey. Always the same girl?

The same girl, yeah.

Oh, man. I can't wait till I meet her. But not tonight.

Don't have comfort.

Okay? Okay.

Told you I was going to meet this girl, but nothing more.

I'll come and leave.

Am I clear?

Okay.

Come on. Look, look. I don't think it's a good idea.

Come on. What's wrong?

Come on. Let's go in.

We are good, right?

All right. All right.

One beer for me.

Your order?

I'm Manhattan for me. Thank you.

Hello.

How are you?

I'm sorry.

We're waiting for someone.

Maybe I will see you later.

Hey, do you make love with everyone?

Of course not.

Only with the Westerns. And the rich Asians.

Where's your girlfriend?

I haven't seen her yet.

Ah, it will not take long.

Ah, by the way, you didn't tell me about your... She doesn't go out in the

evening. You wanted me to bring her here? Are you crazy?

You wanted?

How's she doing?

Better, they say. I made her just in time, so... So what's wrong?

Janice, I need to tell you something.

Okay.

I don't know, it's just that I feel so dissociated from all of this situation.

That's just the coping mechanism.

Your mind's just trying to protect herself.

Yeah, I know, but... It's awful. I mean, she wants to spend more time with me

and I... I don't know.

Am I a bad mother if I don't receive a gift?

Of course not. No, girl.

You just need some rest.

Okay? You're doing just fine.

Now, come on. Go get your bag. It's a busy night. Yeah.

Baby, come. What is it?

Oh,

I think I saw her.

Wait, I'll bring her.

My love.

Oh, hi.

Let's go.

Giorgio. Emmanuel.

He's the guy I told you about.

They're red.

It's very beautiful.

Now, let's have a thought.

Celebrate in this moment.

No, thank you. You celebrate.

I'm going. I told you, remember?

Yeah, sure.

Are you going to sleep early?

And are you going to see your friend tomorrow?

No, I don't think I'll ever see her again.

Well, that was a good idea, bringing you this evening.

You're right.

Man, things are clear to me now.

You know what?

I'm not into these kind of places.

You know why?

Those women who hang out in them are fake.

Willing to do anything for money.

Watch out, Lorenzo.

What could happen to you?

Come sit down.

Don't worry about my friend.

Sometimes he gets weird.

Hi, Barbara.

How are you? I like the sound of your voice. I met a girl.

The one you told me about?

Yeah, her.

I really liked her.

She told me we belonged to a very good family. We didn't even kiss.

Gosh, what happened?

Then I went to a nightclub and I found out her true identity.

She's a prostitute. Oh, Jojo, I'm so sorry. What are you going to do now? I

really don't know. I'm confused now. Come back soon, then. There's no point

you staying there just tormenting yourself.

You're right. I think I'll get back.

Thanks, Barbara.

I'm so sorry for my outburst.

Just leave it and come back home. I'll wait for you.

Okay, bye.

Girl,

you're another level of delusional, for real.

I mean, he literally followed you.

Yeah, he did because I left the book on the table.

And you did that on purpose?

Oh, my God, girl, what is wrong with you?

I thought I was cute.

But he just followed you since hours ago anyway.

Yeah, but to draw me, I mean, that's cute.

No, girl.

That's a major red flag.

I mean, without even asking permission first?

Come on. Be for real. That's literally creepy.

And the way he insulted us before?

Remember what he told us? We're fake and willing to do anything for money?

Boy, shut up.

I bet he would fold in two minutes if any of us would approach him. Would you

that?

What do you mean?

Come on now.

Bye. I mean, maybe he came out a little bit rude, but he didn't mean it like

that. Bitch, please.

Stop trying to justify him.

If he really didn't mean it like that, then he would have chosen his words more

wisely.

Well, but if you really want to give him another chance, then call him tomorrow.

I bet he would come back begging like a dog.

What if he doesn't?

Whatever, girl. Who cares?

If he does so, can you try to... And you really don't think that he's still just

a white, basic -ass, upper -class man?

Oh, God. Well, please.

You don't understand, Lorenzo. I really like that woman.

It's really hard to forget her.

So, you've got to stand in the idea that she is a precious girl.

I don't know if you're right.

What would be more is that...

I thought I was sitting alone. I was scared. It was someone else.

Well... Anyway, you talk about all these girls as if they were objects,

you know? I don't know why.

Actually, I do respect them more than you.

You judge them. I don't.

Maybe you're mad at her because she didn't tell you what she does for a

And what did you tell her about yourself?

Anyway, I'm going back to Rome now.

Okay? I'm sorry, Giorgio.

Want me to pick you up from the airport?

No, no, thank you. No, thank you.

Don't worry about that. Of course, yeah.

Okay, Giorgio.

I gotta say goodbye.

Okay, see you. See you.

Tomorrow,

a trafficker we're interested in will be in Manila.

He likes girls like you.

He booked an escort.

But think about preserving her.

He'll have to replace her and then bring a sample of his DNA.

I'll find a way.

Where are you from?

Oh, not so far away.

Yeah.

First time in this club?

Yeah.

Manuel, I want to talk to you.

I need to explain.

Alright.

I don't really think we have anything in common. Leave me alone.

Here is my son.

Can I have a drink?

What's your name?

Georgia.

I have a special drink for you.

Girl, can't you see?

What the

fuck are you

doing, bitch?

I don't know.

Baby, you were so hot in the moment, so I let myself go too much. I'm sorry.

We've been very good, you know.

Let's make another round.

I know many ways to make your ass plump.

I really have to go.

Your money's on the table.

Thanks.

Thanks. Oh.

Let's start being friends, too. What friend?

Darna.

I'm down now.

Come now, do you see what just happened?

It's only the beginning.

What do you mean, just the beginning?

It was just the first one.

More will come.

They won't stop until he kills you.

He's a dangerous man. He's a drug dealer.

You should have to go away.

I can protect you forever!

Misplaced your earwax.

Are you alone?

You said you were arriving, and there's no one else.

Now come inside, you dumbo.

So, how is Manila?

Useless.

so so

Thank you.
