Maxi.

Tell me something.

What do you want me to tell you?

Tell me about Brussels.

Brussels was a disappointment.

Cold, it rains constantly...

What about Alex?

Can we not talk about it?

Do you want me to stop so you can talk?

No, no.

I saw it coming, you know?

You were not born to play a secondary role.

The Apostle says,

'Man is the image of God.

Woman is the image of man.'

Woman is to man

as the imperfect to the perfect.

A woman's task is to help her husband.

He performs the intellectual work, while she...

helps him with procreation.

He takes care of work, while she...

takes care of him.

Your name, please?

Zorreguieta, Maxima.

Did you want to say something?

Well, if what you say is true...

Then why do we women come to the university?

If what I say is true?

We are talking about Saint Thomas Aquinas.

Yes, but...

According to Saint Thomas Aquinas, women are only good for procreating.

So what am I doing here?

Do you dare to question the doctrine

of one of the most influential thinkers

in the history of Catholic theology?

Yes, but my criticism is

that Saint Thomas Aquinas was taking

-for granted that... -In here

nobody is interested in what you think, Ms Zorreguieta.

You may no longer attend this class.

I am serious.

Leave my classroom now.

Now!

Maxi.

Don't ask.

I understand we must learn the doctrines of theologians,

but that guy really adheres to those theories.

Women are second-class beings.

He might as well call us incubators.

Sexist and patronizing asshole.

And nobody said anything, of all the people who were there.

What is it?

Should I have shut my mouth?

No, just because you are right doesn't mean they will always agree.

Well, sometimes one must speak up.

Do you want me to talk to him?

No.

Hi.

I need a new card for the fifth floor, please.

-Your name? -My name is Maxima Zorreguieta.

Sign here, please.

-Thank you. -Here.

I am no longer on the second floor.

Today I start with Maria Laura. She is a few floors up.

-Thank you. -You are welcome.

So Mario...

Mario thought I had

good social skills, but didn't exert enough pressure

when advising customers.

So the other sexist and patronizing asshole was right.

Well, he had a point.

And Maria Laura was looking for a saleswoman

for his Latin American department.

So...

Very well.

Come on, you're going to be late.

Yes, boss.

Maxima, welcome.

How are you?

Girls, this is Maxima. She's going to work with us.

-Hello. -Hello.

They are studying the political and economic trends

of Latin America's fast-growing markets.

They analyze listed companies to find the promising ones.

Coffee? Here.

If our analyses are accurate

and well-founded, we will have happy customers.

What you need to do is sell the research of my Angels.

Angels?

They call us Laura's Angels.

This is your desk.

All yours.

Any questions, please ask.

Okay?

Thank you.

Welcome again.

It's amazing. She's smart and funny, but strict.

And she runs the department by herself.

All women.

Wow, unbelievable.

Martin.

-Hi. -How are you?

-Tincho! -How are you, Vale?

-Everything good? -Very good.

What do you do?

Well, I talk to investors from all over the world.

And as we have exciting conversations

about whale watching in Puerto Madryn,

I sneak in our research on bonds and stocks.

I don't know how you can balance work and studying.

This job pays for my studies.

And it's practical experience. It helps me.

-To you. -To us,

and for the world we are going to take over.

-Is he looking at me? -Yes.

-Bitch, is he looking at me? -Yes, he's looking at you.

It's Tiziano. Tiziano Iachetti. Remember?

Of course, I remember.

What are you waiting for?

I'm going.

-Go! -Go where?

-Go, Max. -And say what?

Whatever you want. Go.

Hello.

2 tequilas.

Right away.

Look, they're here.

Thank you.

Take the salt.

-This one is yours. -Thanks.

Salt, tequila, and lemon. Cheers.

Cheers.

It's strong, huh?

Very.

Yes?

-A lot. -How much?

Can you dance well?

Look, look.

Is that my brother?

-Don't touch me! -Martin!

-James, what are you doing? -What? Don't touch me!

-Motherfucker! Asshole! -Stop it!

-Do you want me to beat your ass? -Stop it!

You screwed up.

Motherfucker.

Oh, Martin.

Will you tell me about it?

About what?

What's going on with you.

I think that... Can I tell you how I feel?

I don't know if I want to hear it.

I think you are not seeing

the biggest opportunity in the world right in front of you.

You study at the best university in Buenos Aires

and you are going to work in the best bank in the country.

You will have money, savings, a home where you can raise a family.

Do you know how many people

are dying to be where you are?

You 2 are the same.

Exactly the same.

I don't know what you are talking about.

Sometimes I wonder...

Your studies, your work, all your achievements...

Did you do all that for yourself or for him?

For whom?

Dad.

What do you want to do with your life?

I don't know.

Do you want me to help you?

With your studies, I mean.

-I could... -I already quit.

What...?

A Suzuki GS 550.

Martin!

No...

I am going on a trip.

I just need to tell Dad.

BANK OF BOSTON

Don't you worry, Steve.

You don't have to worry. Just believe in me,

I assure you, your money is safe with us.

Yes.

Tell me about your fly-fishing trip, because...

Oh, wow. Yeah.

That's great.

That's so...

Steve, I'm sorry, can I have one second, please?

Thank you. What is it?

-Quiet. -I'm chasing a big fish.

You can still do that quietly.

Yes, here I am, sorry,

but you know what?

Let's meet in 2 weeks. What do you think?

Send me the flight details, and I'll take care of everything.

What do you think?

Okay, great, Steve.

I will, you too.

Bye.

Steve is reeled in!

An espresso?

Double?

What reasons? You dropped out of school too, Dad.

All I want is to make a decision in my life.

Because I had to work, Martin.

Work.

You have all the opportunities in the world

and you quit mid-year.

Finish your studies. At least you will have an intermediate degree.

Finish for whom?

For you, Dad? What are you talking about?

Just so you can tell your friends? Is that what you want?

Dad, I did it for you.

It was always for you. Everything was for you.

Now think of me for once, for God's sake.

Think of me and see that I can't.

You don't want to do it, Martin.

You don't want to do it!

You know, you're right.

I don't want to do it.

I don't give a shit what you think

because it's my life!

Mom, she's here.

-Juan, help me with the bags. -I'm coming.

(Max, please, I've told you before,)

(this is what the fucking press does every time.)

(Can we just have a normal conversation about this?)

Call me.

(Goddammit, Max, come on.)

(Please pick up the phone.)

(We have to talk. What is it you want?)

(Max, can you please let me know if you have arrived well, at least?)

(Please, call me back, okay?)

How are you?

-How are you? How is it going? -You look beautiful!

How is everything going? Are you drinking mate?

-Yes. -Can I have one?

So Brussels was a bad idea?

A terrible one.

But why?

Those finances and numbers...

Isn't it the same everywhere?

Didn't you like the bank?

I didn't even go to the bank, Martin.

I spent all day in my apartment studying those books.

Learning the language...

Have you ever tried to speak that language?

No, I don't want to try.

-Let's try together. -Okay, together.

-Onion. -Onion.

Come on, don't laugh.

-Onion. -Onion.

It needs to come from there.

-Sugar. -Sugar.

-Sugar. -Sugar.

-Groceries. -Groceries.

Coziness.

-Coziness. -It's really hard.

I miss my job.

Do you know what you need to do?

Buying a motorbike.

A motorbike is freedom.

Freedom.

Okay, family. Listen up.

I wanted to thank you... We all wanted to thank you

for making the effort to be here these days.

Yes, thank you guys.

Thank you all,

because this was a tough year. Coqui?

Very tough, for all of us.

Our Maxi is going through a lot.

So...

Try and behave.

We owe Maxi.

Let's make a toast to our family

and to some lovely days together.

Merry Christmas Eve.

Maxi.

Hey, don't throw in the towel.

You never did it, don't do it now.

You are a Zorreguieta.

Can I have one?

Yes, of course.

Are you mad at me?

At you?

No.

Of course not.

I'm mad at those tulips.

And with those miserable journalists.

Dad.

Journalists are going to keep digging

with or without our slip-ups.

So if there's anything I should know,

this is the time.

What are you hinting at?

Nothing.

Angels, since the Mexican government has serious financial problems,

investors are a little uneasy.

But one of my contacts just told me

that the Mexican peso will follow the trend of the US dollar.

So you can reassure investors.

Make some calls, ladies.

Are you calling Portugal?

I'm going to call Spain.

Maxima Zorreguieta speaking, on behalf of Bostons

regarding the Mexican peso.

Exactly, yes.

Perfect, thank you so much.

The US dollar, so we didn't want...

I love France, but mainly outside of Paris.

But you must know Italy very well.

Italy is so magnificent.

Really?

Yes, I would love to take Max.

-Max is dying to... -Hello.

-Maxi! -I'm sorry.

Hello, my dear.

I'm sorry, dear. Hello.

Hi, Dad.

-You are late. -Hello.

Yes, I am sorry.

The thing is, Maria Laura was told that the Mexican peso

was going to keep up with the dollar,

so we had to tell all our contacts.

Hi, Mom.

Interesting.

Are you sure about that?

It seems so.

And you know what? I finally got the guy I told you about to invest.

-That's cool! -Yes.

Impressive.

And all that considering the Mexican market is very tense.

I told him all our tricks for fly fishing.

He turned out to be an enthusiast.

It's so good, Mom.

No, it came out a little bland.

-Add some salt. -Maxi.

Tiziano wants to marry you.

Oh, In�es!

-Is that what I said? -That's what you said.

Well...

You got me. I said everyone wants to marry Maxima.

Sure.

Well, I'll serve the coffee.

It's not Italian coffee, but it is very good too.

-Okay, I'll help you. -No, Tiziano, I'll serve you.

-Stay, don't get up. -No, I'll help you.

-Okay. -Of course.

Juan.

Help him, Juan.

Like 2 peas in a pod.

Do you see Rio Gallegos? Right there, at the bottom.

Yes.

Well, that is where I'll enter Chile

and then I'm going to go up the coast.

Tincho, how many miles have you covered so far?

I don't know. Over 6,000 for sure.

Well, sometimes I stay somewhere for a while to...

Just to get a taste of the local culture.

Traveling is amazing.

Anyway, what about you? How are things with Tiziano?

Good. Very good. I'm happy.

Good? You don't seem very convinced.

I'm fine.

If it were up to Mom, I'd get married tomorrow.

But I'm fine.

And if it were up to you?

I'm fine, Tin.

I'm happy.

If you need a friend, get a dog.

Working in there looks like hell.

Seeing this, what we do at the bank seems like child's play.

You are screwed anywhere.

But it can be done differently.

Maria Laura does it differently.

But that you have to be there,

you have to be in New York, not in Buenos Aires.

That city is incredible, isn't it?

Yes, incredible, but not for living.

No?

No, I like Buenos Aires. I love it.

I have everything there.

Imagine having your business there.

Imagine how much money you would make living there.

I already make it here.

Imagine walking together down Wall Street,

down Broadway.

Would you like an ice cream?

A dulce de leche ice cream, come on.

-Do you want? -Hotel?

-Can I help you? -2 hours.

Stop. Stop. Slow down.

-Slower? -Yes.

Wait, wait.

Like this?

-Like this? -Yes. Like that.

You are so vain.

If you say so.

(For a person from Buenos Aires, going to a public hospital)

(is like a sign of financial decline.)

Are you okay?

-I have to go. -Wait, wait.

I have to go.

What do you mean you have to go?

What's wrong? Where are you going?

-I'm going to work. -Max, what's wrong?

-See you later. -Max?

But what happened?

I know, Steve.

I'm really sorry.

I...

The department has gone to shit.

We have misinformed all our customers.

These investors are all big fish.

They know how this works.

If you bet on a horse hoping they'll win the race,

and it turns out it was the wrong horse,

you can't start crying.

If no one is going to buy Argentinian stocks or bonds,

then no one will need our analysis.

How soon can you graduate?

I don't know, Dad. I need to find another job.

Maxi, supposing you only had to study,

would you finish in a year?

-Yes. -Very well. It's a deal.

You graduate next year

-and I'll cover all your expenses. -No.

No, I'm going to find a job. There is no need. No.

It's important that you focus on your studies.

I'll take care of the rest.

I am an almost-graduated economist

in an economy that has completely failed.

I have nothing else to do here.

Well, you know what I mean.

No?

I can't leave Argentina.

-No... -I don't want to leave.

So?

I really want to go to New York.

It's a long way until I graduate.

We can go together.

Okay, Tiziano, relax. No...

It's not now, we still have some time.

Hey.

You've found me.

It took some time, but...

Listen.

That photo with Emily, it doesn't mean anything.

-I know. -I was just...

This is not about Emily, I don't give a shit about Emily.

It's about everything the past few months.

Brussels.

The rain. The Spanish occupation.

Fucking van Oldenbarnevelt.

Luther, your constitutional law, your language.

Alex, it was hell on earth.

And that's all fine

if I know what I'm doing it for.

But you weren't there.

Sweetie, it's been a really hectic couple of months for both of us,

I mean...

I made a very conscious decision to be with you.

Knowing that my life would turn upside down.

But you left me fucking alone.

And now your country...

Your country wants to drag my father to court and condemn him.

None of you,

not your mother, not you, no one says anything about it.

He might go to jail,

and you're all keeping your mouth shut.

You're telling me about that picture with Emily?

Alex?

That was really stupid,

but I just don't know what I'm doing it for anymore.

Hi, are you coming?

The barbecue is ready.

Yes, we are coming. Thank you.

Thank you.

The barbecue is...

Would you sing a Dutch song for us?

-You want me to sing a song? -No.

-You don't want. He can't sing. -Maxi, leave it.

What did she say?

-Sing! Sing! -That you can't sing.

-Sing! Sing! -That I can't sing?

Sing! Sing!

Bravo!

-Bravo! -Bravo!

I'm really sorry.

I really am. About all the bullshit and the...

the hassle, all the...

well, the press, everything you have to go through.

But...

Mainly about not being there...

and letting you down.

I understand...

These last few days I thought I was going to lose you.

-That's the last thing I want. -Alex.

Say no more.

How do you even sleep in here?

Well, youre lucky to get a bed at all.

I gave our room away, because I assumed you wouldn't show up.

Okay, okay, Ms Zorreguieta.

-Zorreguieta. -Zorreguieta.

-No, no. -Im saying Zorreguieta.

-Zo... -Zo...

-re... -re...

-guie... -guie...

-ta. -ta.

I promise you we'll see a lot more of each other this year.

Okay?

Okay.

Cant you stay for a few more days?

I wish.

My mom was quite persistent,

and when the boss calls...

-Bye, guys! -Bye!

-Bye, darling. -Bye.

Maxi.

Tomorrow is the New Year's toast at the club.

I'll have to drop by.

Will you join me?

Yes.

-No? -Yes, yes.

-Yes. -It's okay. I would understand.

Yes, sure.

I'm glad.

Maxima. How are you?

How are you? Long time no see.

Give me a kiss.

I can still see you running around with your brackets.

And look at you now.

Do you remember that time when they ended up in the garbage?

Then your mom made you

rummage in that bin until they appeared.

Your dad is very proud of you.

We all are.

Our future Argentinian queen

in an ancient European court.

-Thank you. -Fantastic.

Cheers.

-And where is the prince? -He had to return to work.

What a shame. I wanted to meet him.

-Shall we go? -Yes.

-We still have a long way to go. -Sure.

Tell me later how much you're going to contribute to Videla.

-Of course, yes. We'll talk later. -We'll talk later.

Yes, let's go.

What do you mean by a donation to Videla?

Dad.

They took away his pension after house arrest.

So?

A little Christmas charity.

Dad, the Dutch press is watching. They won't understand.

Of course, they won't understand.

They only get one side of the story.

The national information services don't let me talk to the press.

The Dutch have to understand

that I worked in Agriculture

and was part of the civil government,

I had nothing to do with the Armed Forces.

Answer.

-Mi amor, I cannot talk right now. -(Max, listen to me carefully.)

(Our prime minister has secretly ordered an investigation)

(into the political past of your father.)

(This history professor, Michiel Baud,)

(was approached by Kok to conduct research.)

Just one second.

(Max? Hello? Max?)

When?

(Baud was in Argentina last August, apparently.)

(So now there is this report with all his findings.)

(The prime minister wants a meeting with the 2 of us, to...)

(to discuss the results as soon as possible.)

(Theyve booked a flight for you to Amsterdam tomorrow morning.)

(Max,)

(are you still there?)
