Discovering the world is about discovering your own dynasty,

your own princesses.

-You didn't bring a lighter? -I forgot.

You're an idiot.

We can go get matches.

No, the shiksa is in the kitchen. She'll see us.

-The what? -The derogatory word my mom uses

for the cleaning lady. I have to stop saying it.

I can't believe you didn't bring a lighter.

Wait. I think we can get matches without the "chiska" realizing.

The what? Shiksa.

-Cheesecake. -Shiksa.

-"Chiksa"? -Shiksa.

Princesses in my lineage don't wax. They shave.

They smoke, they're aggressive with each other,

and they never ever tell the whole truth.

THE END OF LOVE

Stay there, stay there.

It's Laura.

Don't say a word.

But...

-Hello, Tamara. -Lau, what's going on?

Twenty missed calls. Is the house on fire? What?

It's a bit hard for it to be on fire 'cause they cut our gas.

You didn't pay it again.

They cut off the gas?

I thought it was on auto-pay.

I'll talk with the bank, relax.

"Relax", Tamara? Fuck that.

Kisses.

-It takes like 20 days to reconnect it. -Right?

Give me your client number and my guy will help you.

That would really help.

I don't know anything about this.

But that's Laura, yeah? She's in a bit of a mood.

Did you tell her about this?

Why would I?

Why would I tell Laura?

No need. She's all in with her girl.

Plus, this

isn't serious, right?

This is a game.

Like shoplifting a T-shirt.

What a graphic example.

It's literal.

When I was around 11,

I'd walk home from school and stop by clothing stores.

All the clothes I couldn't wear, like miniskirts.

I'd try it on. Whatever I liked, I'd put into my backpack.

You never got caught?

I think they knew, but what could they do? Report a little girl?

And you thought you were so sly tricking everyone.

And the guy you were seeing? Are you back together?

-Here. -It's like we never broke up.

After arguing, we didn't see each other for a month, but we'd talk.

I forgot I have a family thing.

Something serious?

No, a financial operation.

Can I get this later? Or send Poli for it?

No, Poli said he wasn't your errand boy.

I have an exhibition. Tons of stuff is coming.

I'm not a warehouse.

-Bye. -Bye.

Girls, you up for the Mocha Fest?

We haven't done anything together in forever.

Tam, come on. Do we always have to wait for you?

-Is this the right place? -Let's go.

This is the invoice for the extras you requested.

Made out to Mijal Tenenbaum.

Anti-graffiti coating, the tinting is pending,

and the security bolts.

Yeah, you look away for a second and they steal your tires.

-Thanks. -Of course.

What are we doing here?

We withdrew money from the case and came for the car.

No, yeah... I see we're not at the National Library.

It's a dealership. Can you give us a minute?

No, he can't give you a minute. We already gave you tons of minutes.

Stop, Mom.

Let him show us the car.

Who gets the registration?

Me. I'm the one with a license.

No, unbelievable.

It's better to tell you things after we've done them.

Tam, I'm gonna be a mom. I need to drive.

No, but... What's the need? This woman never had a car.

-Hold this. -What're you doing with that brace?

I don't care.

Look how you hold the wheel, Mom.

You don't know the first thing about driving.

So what? I'll learn.

I'll take a course with Debi.

How many people will have to die for you to learn how to drive?

I'm serious. You live two blocks away from your practice.

Ten from the hospital. Why do you need a car?

You know, the girls told me...

"Don't tell Tamara or she'll start busting your balls."

I said: "No, girls."

The girls were right.

"The girls," my ass.

"The girls"? I'm going to be a mother.

Incredible. It's just a whim. Why do you even want it?

You're the one with whims.

Why do you think you have the right to meddle in our lives?

Nobody meddles in your life.

What's the problem with us buying a car?

Do whatever you want with your share.

You're gonna buy an apartment.

I have therapy. Unbelievable. What am I doing?

Just in time, too!

Honestly. With the family I was dealt, sure.

Your brace!

For real, why don't you go to therapy? All your friends go.

I don't know why not.

Honestly, I don't know why I'm not in therapy.

It's baffling. Let's go.

Look, I have a ton of colleagues I can recommend.

She's not six. She won't be traumatized because her parents are separated.

Since when are you a trauma specialist?

-I'm not traumatized. -No need to be.

It's not trauma. I don't have time.

If I have dinner with one of you, I have to have dinner with the other one.

With that and the practice, I spend all my time with you.

I thought the extra money from the practice was helping you out.

Yes, sure.

-I think you're more nervous. -No, Dad. I'm not nervous.

-I need the money. -I also help her.

Yeah, sure. How bold.

-We have to think about her future. -Can we focus?

-Yes, sweetie. -I'll give you this class,

and you give me feedback like the good parents that you are.

-Can we start? Okay. -Yes.

-We have to breathe first, right? -Yes, Mom.

Are you in your car?

I'm in a car.

I don't have a car. I don't drive.

Okay, tell me.

Well, I'm going to a cabin in Tigre with Gustavo.

Nice. Looking forward to it?

Yeah, well, I don't know. It was his idea.

You had a different idea. Would you prefer to go somewhere else?

Well, there's a festival in Mocha and my friends are going.

Mora invited me.

You and Mora are still together.

-Yes, we're friends. -And you're lovers.

You could say that.

You don't feel like going to the event with your friends,

or with Mora.

-No, I... -Or to the cabin with Gustavo.

No, I want to go. Yes.

I mean, I said I'd go to Tigre.

You must take charge of your desires.

Even if you don't choose them, you must take responsibility.

Not seeing Mora anymore would be taking responsibility for my desires?

You discussed keeping her as an option. In case the desire fails.

To have everything covered and under control.

If whose desire fails? His or mine?

Good question. We'll end here.

-See you next week. -Already? Okay.

Thanks, Carlos.

-Coming? -Where?

Our first drive. Come on.

-You go. -You should come.

-Don't miss out. -I have stuff to do, Mijal.

Everything okay?

Yeah. Can you record me with the car?

Do you want to be in it?

We're here with Pedro, a brilliant salesman, a boss...

Always through the nose.

My knees are killing me.

I can't go on any further.

Put a blanket under your knees.

Yeah, there.

-You know your way around this. -There.

I take classes, yes.

Why don't you pay your daughter?

-Don't mix things up. -Don't get sidetracked.

Let's go back to breathing.

-Okay, let's breathe. -Okay.

Are you going to yoga to hook up?

-Always the same! -Mom!

We sign up for activities to meet people. We go to choir, yoga...

-To get laid. -Since when do you say "get laid"?

-Since you go to yoga to get laid. -Mom, enough!

-Please! -Get laid, get laid.

Enough. Enough, please.

Your daughter said "enough."

We're here with Pedro, who helped us choose the car.

-Your first one? -Yes, not just mine. It's my family's.

I don't understand my sister.

What need was there to buy a car?

Well, buying a car is nice, right?

Yes, the car is fine. It's all the showing off.

I don't get that.

And having to buy it with the whole family. All together.

They're visiting. It's actually strange that you're not there with them.

Should I change my entire schedule because they came to visit?

I don't know.

It wouldn't be so terrible to sometimes change your schedule to be with them.

It's not such a big sacrifice, or is it?

It is for me.

Need any help?

So, what? You don't get along with your family?

No, we do get along. My mom's the best.

My sisters too.

-I mean, they're great. -But...

The family dynamics drive me crazy. Whatever emerges when there's a family.

That sticky atmosphere that pulls you down.

That mixture of something childish and something old.

It's a mood killer.

-Here? -Yes.

So you think family is a mood killer?

Don't scold me as if I were your daughter.

No, but sometimes you do act a lot like my daughter.

Really? In which way?

No...

For example, is that all you brought?

-My backpack. What's wrong with it? -Nothing.

Generally, when adults plan a trip, I don't know...

They talk, they ask what's needed for the trip.

They split the work.

Since you never asked, I took care of everything.

And you handled it well. I thought it'd be a run-down cabin,

-but it looks good. -You see?

Why don't you go get some twigs?

No. Why don't all mosquitos in the world die out? What is this?

Why do people like coming here? I don't get it.

What do you want to do? Tell me.

We don't have to have a barbecue, we don't have to look at the landscape,

or do any of the things people do here.

I want to read.

I don't know. Lately, I feel that

with all my presentations and lectures,

I'm only reading my book, and that disconnects me from myself.

Or it connects me to myself too much.

Yeah, I went through that.

When the studio branched out,

I realized I spent all day with people drinking coffee

and I hadn't sat down to draw in months.

-What did you do? -I...

I remembered when my kids were little, I had time for everything.

It wasn't a matter of hours, but of focus.

Yeah, I should concentrate a bit and put my phone down.

No, it's not about that. It's about

forcing yourself to concentrate.

This isn't a trick from a TED Talk.

It's more about passion.

What connects you to your desire?

And then, your time arranges itself.

What you're saying is cool.

I see that problem a lot in people of your generation.

It's like they think the solution to everything

is putting down their phones, disconnecting from social media.

I think they can't focus because they're disconnected

from what they really desire.

And what's your connection?

Me? A pencil. Always having at pencil in my hand.

Picking up my daughter and a friend and her telling me a secret

she doesn't want her mom to know.

You.

I don't know.

Yes. Since I'm with you, I want to create a space for myself to enjoy.

To avoid appointments that are unnecessary and don't fulfill me.

It adds something to your life, but it actually helps you focus.

So it doesn't take away any time.

It intensifies it. It stretches out time.

What you're saying does sound a lot like a TED Talk.

Oh, sorry. It's just that...

How about some pasta with butter?

The bartender's distracted.

Her head's in the clouds.

Worse, her head's on homemaking.

-Who's next? -Me.

-Hello! -Hello.

Welcome. What a surprise!

-Sara, right? -Yes, that's me.

Ofe, did you say hi to your friend?

Hi, León. How are you?

This is great. It's incredible.

-Am I too late? -No, you're just in time.

I told León about "The Wandering Jewess."

It's the exhibit we put together to honor Effy Beth.

-I'm glad you're interested. -Very.

Take him to see the pictures. I'll handle this.

I'll be right there. I'll catch up to you.

Yes. Excuse me.

Go with him.

You think he's here to see the pictures?

This isn't a date!

Do you know how hard I've tried to get David to come?

Well, call him. Tell him to come now that León is here.

He doesn't know I'm here.

I told him Tamara was sick and needed some company.

What?

I hate lying. I don't know why I'm lying so much lately.

Go. The girls will help me.

-Dianita! -Yes?

-Can you cover for Ofelia? -Sure.

We can spend some time together. I really miss you.

-You're gonna make me cry. -Oh, Sari...

Holy, holy, these are the battles

With strength and talent The neighborhood rises

Holy, holy, we raise our voices

Calling to power

To power

Why did you ever think that your life would be better

if you got your parents back together?

Some people just don't know how to be alone.

If they make up,

at least they'll stop pestering me. They'll leave me alone.

And I'll be able to focus on what I need to do.

I don't know, live my life, meet people, go out, have fun.

How about we get a drink?

What's with the candles? It's like they take away the romance.

Yeah? I'll put them out.

No, no. It's just a comment.

I don't know. It's like weddings, sexy lingerie.

Things that try to be sexy but aren't.

Right. That's why I like your stretched-out panties.

Listen. Wait.

-What? -No.

First, we have to eat.

And I brought you a present.

-We were supposed to bring presents? -No. But I brought you one.

A living present?

Do you like it?

THEY TEACH US TO HATE OURSELVES

You should write about your teshuvah.

-No. -Yeah.

Me? No.

I don't consider myself teshuvah.

Why not?

I mean, you abandoned Judaism and then you returned.

Well, yes, but those who seek teshuvah

are people who strayed from the truth, from the path of the Torah.

I honestly don't like that concept much.

I think the truth has many paths, the Torah has many paths.

I never strayed.

I just... I don't know. I took the path I had to take.

The path of my truth.

How about we go to a party after this?

I'll ask my students where to go.

Yeah, sure. Ask them.

Well, you're dying to go out.

No, it's just that I've been working since early

and I don't know if I can take much more.

We'll keep you company a bit.

"We"? Why are you speaking in the plural? Is Azul coming?

Yeah, she's coming. What's wrong?

I thought it would just be us two.

-Are we exclusive? -I'm not asking to be exclusive.

Can't I feel like going out with my friends?

-Normal stuff, just dancing. -Are you jealous?

Can friends not be jealous now?

-So it's about friendship? -It's about friendship.

-Sure. -Obviously.

There's your babe.

-Juani, what's up? -Have fun.

Do cats drink milk? I know nothing about cats.

Yes, yes. Kittens do...

Look. It's drinking.

This kitten is from the cat that lives at the cabin.

The owner gave it to me, but my daughter's allergic.

I thought it'd be good for you.

What a strange gift. To give an obligation.

It's not that much of an obligation.

You have to feed it, change its litter. I don't know.

I don't even have plants.

I know, and that's why I thought it would do you good.

I mean, having something to care for.

So you went straight past the succulent and chose a cat.

Yes. Succulents don't tell you when they need water.

A cat gives you signals.

-Yes. -And it keeps you company.

You think I need company?

I don't know. I'm immune.

Immune to what?

Yeah, no. I can feel that sarcastic tone coming up again.

You want to argue.

I don't want to argue.

You don't know how.

You think you're a master at debating, but at the slightest disagreement, you...

You start your battle. But I insist, I...

No, now seriously.

In a way, I've already told you this, but...

I want to say it properly.

The time we spent apart was awful.

And, well, I know I have my shortcomings,

I'm always correcting you,

and I know I can also be hurtful.

Well, not really hurtful.

No, I can. Because we get into that dynamic.

You're the bad guy. I'm the good guy.

And it's just a stupid joke, but...

In the end, I end up believing it and it isn't true. It isn't true at all.

I know you made a huge effort to be here.

To give up even an ounce of your independence.

I know its value. I know it's an effort.

I really appreciate it.

I love you.

I love your girl! Is it going well?

Yes, great. Why do you ask?

Just making small talk.

Were you able to fix the problem with the gas?

What problem?

I was with Tam when you called her about that.

Why? Are you taking classes with her or something?

No, she came to get the brace.

I'm not gonna play dumb.

Alexia knows, so I won't hide it from you.

Hide what from me?

Tamara and I hook up every now and then.

Wait. Are you fucking Tamara?

It doesn't mean anything.

It doesn't mean anything? Don't you have any fucking limits?

What's wrong with you?

You're obsessed with staying in my life, right?

-No. -Can't you see me happy?

No, Lau. Don't go there because it's got nothing to do with you.

Wait. You're fucking my best friend who lives with me,

and it has nothing to do with me?

Aren't you dating someone?

I'm about to be a mom. We've got our own things. Don't obsess.

You're more toxic than Chernobyl, dude.

-Hang up a sign to warn people. -Bye.

-Honey. -Honey.

-And Lau? -I never thought I'd pee so much.

Girls, have you seen Lau?

She went out for some air. Give her space. She'll be back.

No, that's enough for you.

We can get you something else, okay?

Let's go.

-Bye. -Bye.

Bye.

Hello.

I swear I don't know what the fuck they want, why they do it,

and then I get all wound up.

Did you fight with Azul?

Tamara and Mora are fucking.

What?

If you say you already knew, I'll jump off the balcony

-for being the last one to know. -Tam doesn't fuck girls.

She totally fucks girls.

No. The most she does is a threesome with some wanker.

Forget the wankers, dude! She wanted this.

She went for Mora. I can't believe I didn't see it!

What about Azul?

I came to talk about Tamara, not Azul.

Let's call her.

-She's not picking up. -I know what she'll do.

What she always does. She'll spin it around,

call me neurotic, dramatic.

She'll say "you're right" with a sour face and do whatever. She doesn't care.

You know what does matter?

She can't get away with this, dude.

-I'll send her a voice note. -Don't tell her I'm here.

Hi, Tam. We're here at home with Lau. Where are you?

Too bad, dude.

Unbelievable.

It's not going through. It's on airplane more.

It's on asshole mode.

If she'd at least told me, I don't know.

I would've hated it, but at least it would've been more dignified.

Well, we haven't told her about us.

There's nothing to tell her.

Well, it would've been more dignified, as you just said.

I don't know. Not hiding it, just telling her.

But I don't think there's anything to tell.

Are you sure about that?

Lau, we're being honest. You can tell me how you feel.

-I feel strange. -Yes, very strange.

For me, it was never about searching

for a partner or creating a lasting bond with anyone

in my day-to-day.

I mean, I feel I have that with you guys.

Yeah, but that's different.

No, but why is it different?

Maybe we never hooked up 'cause we were always with Tamara.

-Enough. I don't want to talk about it. -Why not?

I don't mind breaking up with a thousand girlfriends,

but I can never break up with you.

And if we keep this going, we'll break up at some point.

Girls, I wanted to apologize for not answering your messages.

I'm in the woods and there's no reception.

But I'm not just apologizing about that.

Lau, sorry about the bills. I'll fix it.

But that's not it, either.

It's wrong, but...

It's the manifestation of something bigger.

Of not being able to take charge.

But not of other people's demands.

It's about taking charge of desires.

Of taking a chance.

And not leaving all doors open just in case. Really taking a chance.

And I'm not just talking about love.

Or just about Gustavo, or the book I want to write.

I'm also talking about you.

My desire is to keep sharing my life with you.

Fucking hell!
