Why didn't you tell me about the meeting?

Because I didn't know what it was about, so...

Yes, well, but you suspected something.

Otherwise, you would've just told me.

Max, what do you want?

Because I didn't know what it was about.

What do I want?

What do you think I want?

To know where I stand, what to expect.

I'm sorry, I'm...

Who were there?

Just the Prime Minister?

Van der Stoel...

and my mother was also there.

Your mother?

Why was your mother there?

Okay, what?

Alex, come on, spit it out.

They're saying that your father will not be allowed to attend our wedding,

or at least, there will be no consent law.

What is a consent law?

It's all political stuff, it doesn't matter.

Yes, but, what does it mean?

Everybody involved in the matter just wants to show their balls, it's...

Why is my father not allowed to be at my wedding?

-What does that report say? -I don't know exactly.

And I promise you we're going to do everything to fix this.

How can you be so sure if you don't know what's in it?

-Well... -Fuck! Unbelievable!

How can you ask this of me?

Me? It's them, I was blindsided as well.

This is not what I want either, I was furious.

-Bravo. -Hey, Max! Wait, please.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Because I wanted to wait for the right time

I didn't want to make it a big thing.

Not a big thing?

So my father can't be at our wedding,

-and you call this not a big thing? -That's not what I'm...

Max, I didn't want you to worry unnecessarily.

No Alex, you're so arrogant

that you think that you can bend things to your will.

Max, please.

Go to hell.

Max, please, can you wait one second so we can talk?

Leave me alone.

It's all just politics.

To hell with politics.

You kept me in the dark on this.

Please, Max.

Max.

Shit.

-(Hello?) -Tris, it's me.

Tris!

-I'm so happy! -I can't believe it.

Wow, Tris, look at those views!

We can share a bed. That's all I can offer you.

-Like when we were children. -Yes.

We were so young back then.

Your mom called twice to check if you had arrived.

-Typical. Can I use your phone? -Sure.

Tris, we're going to do so many things

-now that I'm here. -Yes.

You know, I read in a magazine in Buenos Aires

That there are restaurants here with swimming pools.

Yes.

We can go to Broadway.

I would love to go see the Statue of Liberty.

-Right? The Empire State... -Yes.

Max, but we don't have to do everything right away.

Hello. Yes.

This is Maxima Zorreguieta,

I wanted to confirm my interview for tomorrow.

Yes.

Okay. Okay, that's perfect.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, Tris, let's eat out. My treat.

Max, New York is expensive, I'm warning you.

Tris, I'm going to work on Wall Street.

Now dinners are on me.

-So you're from Buenos Aires. -Yes.

You know my father, right?

Do I?

Or maybe your father knows my father.

Because I think I met your father once,

on a ski trip to Bariloche.

I'm sorry, time is money, I know...

Who cares about Bariloche when you're here in New York, so...

So tell me, why do you think you're the right fit for the job?

I'm really good with numbers.

I mean... No, I'm really good with numbers. Yes.

And I like people and I'm looking for new challenges here in New York.

Interesting.

Yeah.

Interesting.

We've got your information from Tim at Merrill Lynch

and Robert at Citicorp.

Looks like you've been making rounds.

And I thought people in finance were supposed to be discrete.

We're glad they aren't.

We happen to be looking for someone in sales,

to complete our Latin America team.

Well, that's me.

Well, tell me why.

I don't really like talking about my accomplishments, but...

I can tell you about the biggest mistake I've ever made.

When I was working at the Bank of Boston,

we made a huge misjudgment

regarding the Mexican peso.

Our clients lost a lot of money...

and I felt horrible.

But in the long run, it made me resilient.

More diligent, meticulous even.

I am in charge of Canada, Florida and Texas, but...

I'm Caoimhe's backup with her most important clients in New York.

Like Soros and Merrill Lynch. Look.

'Maxima Zorreguieta,

Vice President of Institutional Sales for Latin America.'

Here's to you.

Thanks, Dad.

I found an apartment near Central Park.

In 3 weeks I'll get the keys.

It's small, but I won't be there much.

I go to the office at 7:00 am.

I arrive first and leave last.

You know,

Grandma Maxima would be proud of you, like me.

I could never afford an apartment in this area.

You should not have become an artist.

Oh, I hate you.

I'm going to miss living with you.

I will miss you too.

But you know what I won't miss? Your hair in the shower.

You know what I won't miss?

Your spiritual nonsense.

I know you think this is bullshit,

but it will help you, trust me.

And it smells nice, too.

You haven't done the bedroom yet.

The most important room.

Choose a painting, it's a gift for your apartment.

My apartment is too small, I have no room for it.

There's Tris. Tris!

Hey.

Maria Pame.

I'm so happy to see you.

-Maxi didn't tell me you were here. -Because it was a surprise.

May I introduce you to my friends from Buenos Aires.

She is Maxima Zorreguieta, and her mom, Maria Pame.

-Hello. -So nice to meet you.

-Maria Pame. -Nice to meet you.

This is Peter, he introduced me to the art scene here.

Did I hear Tris just say Zorregueta?

Zorreguieta.

Yes, Zorreguieta.

Are you by any chance related to Dolores Zorreguieta, the artist?

Yes.

-Yes, she is my sister. -No way.

I just saw her exhibition the other day,

Wounds.

Have you had the chance to see it yet?

-No. No, no. -Okay.

Well, I'm not going to say much then,

because I don't want to ruin the experience for you, but...

it was really impressive.

She did an amazing job of capturing the pain,

and the fear, and the violence in her youth in her art.

-It's a pleasure to meet her mother. -No.

I'm not her mother.

She's my half-sister, we share the same father.

Yes, her father and mine are close friends.

-Small world. -Small world.

Okay, I think we need a drink.

-Please. -Yes, amazing.

-Thank you. -So nice to meet you,

enjoy your evening.

Thank you, you too.

Mom, you can't say those things.

What can I say, if she's not my daughter?

Well, but don't... It's fine.

Of course, I'm not going to Dolores' exhibition, dear.

Plus she's making art with all the suffering,

dread, and violence that she experienced as a child.

Such nonsense.

Stop it, Mom.

You also exaggerate things.

Didn't you tell me that you couldn't get pregnant at that time?

Oh no, Maxima.

You're leaving a lot of spots.

Come on, Maxima, leave it to me.

Mom, I was doing it. I can do it. Let me do it.

Maxima, don't you see it looks bad?

How would you live with those stains? Let me cover it well.

Straight, dear.

At some point, you need to let things go.

Do you understand?

We'll have a glass of wine when we finish.

We deserve it.

Yes.

This is going to look beautiful.

What do you think? It's much better, isn't it?

I love it.

And facing the sunlight. It's fantastic, better feng shui.

Lovely, I hadn't thought of it that way.

-Yes. -To your new life, dear.

Cheers, Mom.

Let me know when you arrive.

Take care, dear.

Give Dad a hug.

Sure.

-Bye, sweetheart. -Bye.

Loli!

Max.

I can't believe it.

You are all grown up.

And you look beautiful.

Thank you. You also look very...

New York suits you, really.

That man, Peter,

was very impressed with your work.

He said that since you came to New York

almost all of your work revolves around Argentina.

It happened naturally.

From the distance, everything feels stronger to me.

The violence of those years, all the fear and suffering.

All my work is about things that are about to break,

that bother me, that make me uncomfortable.

Did you ever get to talk to Dad about what happened?

He doesn't want to listen or take any kind of responsibility.

After everything that came to light, how could anyone...

Sorry. Wrong topic.

It's my bad. I shouldn't have asked.

You are a lot like him.

Why?

We are not arguing, we are trying to discuss something.

Max, you are 25 years old,

you graduated, you're an economist.

What do you think?

Come on. You've seen, read, heard things.

He worked hard to give us all our opportunities.

Max! 30,000 missing, stolen babies,

drugged people thrown into the sea.

Shit, I had promised myself this wasn't going to happen.

Not with you.

-It was great to see you. -Max, I...

I love you so much,

and Jorge was an excellent dad to you.

I know that.

-I'm sorry, I need... -Please.

Maxi.

What's wrong?

Why can't Dolores let go of the past?

Max.

Artists ask questions.

That's what we do, that is our task.

And that...

That is also brave.

What is brave?

Using our last name to become famous?

No.

It's brave to dare to go against him.

I was there.

In her exhibition.

Wounds.

It was impressive.

It was shocking, it made me think.

Think about our childhood.

About our youth.

On that safe island we lived on in the Northlands.

While the world outside was going up in flames, Max.

I'm not having dinner with you. I'll see you later.

Max.

So I thought it were my feet at first,

my shoes, but it turns out it's actually my core.

I've been doing yoga, like every day,

like every morning just to get my hips loose.

And then it's been working like...

Sorry, can you excuse me for a minute?

-I'll be right back. -All right.

-He was becoming the ventures... -We're in that too...

Excuse me.

Hi, Cynthia?

-Hello. -Maxima.

Zorreguieta.

Northlands?

Maxima Zorreguieta? Can you excuse me for a minute?

Maxima Zorreguieta! What are you doing here?

Would you like to sit down with us?

No, don't worry. I'm with a colleague.

-Oh, you work here? -Yes.

Yes, I worked at HSBC until recently,

Vice President of Institutional Sales for Latin America,

but I switched to Deutsche Bank.

How about you? What do you do?

Well...

A bit of everything.

I have been here for so many years.

A lot of photography, and now I'm in the fashion world.

Right now, with DKNY. Do you know her?

Yes, of course.

-Good to see you. -You too.

No, really. I know.

Why don't you give me your number?

-Give me a second. -No, it's okay. Here.

Here's my number.

Sure, you... Wow.

-I'll call you. -Sure. It's been a pleasure.

-Likewise. -Excuse me.

-Hi, nice to meet you. -Hi.

I'm sorry, an old friend.

Yes. You don't have to worry about that, we'll take care of that.

No way! Okay, don't worry about that.

Yes.

Okay, I will.

Let me call you later.

Okay, yes, I'll send it to you. Okay, thank you, bye.

Hello, Cynthia.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Zorreguieta!

I'm so happy you are here, really.

I didn't know if you were going to accept the invitation or not.

I'm so glad you're here. You'll have a good time.

-I'll show you around. -Lovely house.

You like it, don't you?

Well, we are so happy because...

Because we have just renovated the whole living room

That's why I thought of organizing the party.

It's all very informal anyway.

Only great people.

Oh, and a Rockefeller. Maybe even a Kennedy.

Meet Philippe and Ana.

Phil, Ana, this is Maxima.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

She is my best friend from Buenos Aires, so...

Well, Phil and Ana, they spend about half of the year in New York

and the other half in Seville.

-Best of both worlds. -Well, you have the tango.

But you have the flamenco.

Yes, but I have to say, there is nothing quite like the tango.

It has a unique blend of

deep melancholy and sensuality, that's just unbeatable.

Yes, I mean...

Tango is the first smile on your face after crossing a sea of tears.

There you go, that's exactly what I mean.

Come with me. Sorry, sorry.

Next week I'll take you to Le Bilboquet.

Dear, I feel at home there.

Snob.

This guy bursts into my office and starts yelling at me,

stuff like,

'When will it ever end?' or, 'Will it ever be enough?'

I just look at him and I go like,

it's not a question of enough, pal.

I mean, it's a zero-sum game, you know

Somebody wins, somebody loses.

Money itself isn't lost or made,

it's simply transferred from one perception to another,

it's like magic.

For example, this painting I bought 10 years ago, for 60,000 dollars,

today I could sell it for 600,000 dollars.

The illusion just became real

and the more real it becomes,

the more desperate they want it.

-Now, to me, that is... -Capitalism at its finest.

Gordon Gekko, 'Wall Street', I've seen it at least 5 times.

It's a great movie, right?

It is. So the painting, I sold it...

(No one is available to take your call.)

(Please leave a message.)

(Max, this is Tris. Why don't you answer my calls?)

(I don't know what I did wrong,)

(but this is the last time I leave you a message.)

(Call me, I'm worried about you.)

(Dolores, stop it already.)

(No. Why can't I ask you questions?)

(Questions?)

(You're not asking questions.)

-(You are accusing me...) -(But...)

(...and saying things of which you have no idea.)

I am not making anything up, it's written in this report.

Leave!

No.

How I miss the time when you could smoke on flights.

I just open the cockpit window.

Hey.

What's on your mind?

My sister.

Her exhibition about the Videla regime.

I went to see it back then but...

it was too much.

I never argued with my father.

She did.

She confronted him.

Dared to ask questions.

I didn't.

Such a coward.

You are not a coward.

Have you ever just asked him,

whether he knew about it?

Why not?

What's the worst thing that could happen?

Hi Tris,

(Oh, hi.)

Hi.

Do you have any plans for tonight?

(Cynthia can't make it?)

You are right.

I'm sorry.

(I have a commitment.)

What about the weekend?

(Yes, maybe.)

(I don't know. We'll talk later, okay?)

Okay.

Tris...

-Where to, miss? -To the Hamptons.

(This is Valeria Delger, not available at the moment.)

(Please leave a...)

(Hi, I am Samantha.)

(I am not available at the moment, please leave a message.)

(Hello, you have called Tiziano.)

(Leave a message after the beep.)

Hello?

(Hey, Max.)

(This is Tiziano.)

(Did you call?)

Yes.

Yes, all of a sudden...

I thought of you and wanted to know how you were doing.

(Good, good.)

(Busy.)

(It's been a long time, Max.)

Yes, I know.

You called a lot of times.

Sorry, I...

Forgive me, life goes by a little fast here.

(Anyway, tell me.)

(Wall Street is what you expected?)

(Did you already hook up a rich banker?)

(Or do you miss Buenos Aires?)

New York is fantastic, really.

I'm doing great at work, the parties are great...

But enough about myself.

How are you?

And the guy looks at me and says,

'This is New York. Get over it.'

That's how things work here.

If you want to get somewhere,

you have to be tough like the rest.

And people obviously...

They always say that the most important thing

about New York is the economy,

to get somewhere, to become someone, but...

I think the best thing about New York is the people.

How they interact, how...

How they connect.

The group, the human side.

But?

-Good morning. -Good morning.

-Do you want a mate? -Sure.

Thank you for yesterday.

I had a great time.

I was thinking...

Why don't you come with me to Buenos Aires?

We can travel.

We can go to Italy...

To Argentina, vacation in Bariloche.

I miss you and...

I feel like you miss Argentina too.

No.

No. I don't miss Argentina.

I want to stay here.

I'm so glad you came.

I had a great time with you, really.

-Are you kidding me? -Excuse me?

Are you kidding me?

I came here from Buenos Aires for you.

-And I'm so glad you came. -You called me.

It was you who called me!

I've traveled 5,000 miles for a fuck?

Do you know what's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you is that...

nothing is good enough, you know?

Not even love.

-(Hello?) -Tris, it's me.

Can I come in?

Hey.

Hey.

I don't know if you had plans, but I made pesto pasta

And I brought a...

I'm sorry for leaving you.

I don't know what I was...

I think I was cowardly hiding.

I'm sorry.

Zorreguieta has cooked.

I will have to call the media.

Was he called Mark?

Yes.

Does he look after you?

Is he aware he has gold in his hands?

-I hope so. -He better be.

Yes.

I'm so happy for you.

And you?

I don't know, Tris, sometimes I feel that I'm going to be forever alone.

Max, no!

You know what? We can find out now.

Are we really going to do this?

Yes, we are really going to do this.

You have to think of a question,

some advice you would like to ask the cards.

And I'm going to shuffle them,

and when you have a good feeling

or that it is the right time, say 'stop'.

-When I have a good feeling? -Yes.

-Are you shuffling yet? -Yes, focus.

-I have a good feeling now. -Are you sure?

Yes.

-The Empress. -Is it good?

First, the Empress.

Interesting.

The Wheel of Fortune...

The World...

And the Lovers.

Something is going to happen in your life, Max.

Something that will change everything completely, something unexpected.

I believe, from what the cards say,

that you are going to meet a special person.

And you're going to sign a contract with them.

And yes, that's it.

You are going to meet your prince.

Zorreguieta!

Hi!

-Hi! -What are you doing here?

No, I don't know...

Listen, I have a question.

Why don't you answer my calls?

And another question,

where have you been?

You're missing out, baby.

I've been a little busy.

Well, we're all busy.

Hey, I'm taking you to a party.

I'm a bit tired of parties, for now.

You won't want to miss this one.

No, I'm serious.

I'm serious too.

Try and guess where we are going.

We are leaving to...

Spain.

-No. -Yes, to Seville.

To the Seville Fair.

Philippe and Ana have a giant house

where we can stay. It's going to be great!

I have to go to London for work, I can't go to Seville.

Even better! You can fly from there later.

Listen to me, there's going to be a lot of interesting men.

And...

even a prince.

Did I convince you? Did you like it? Will you call me?

I don't want to hear any more. Call me, okay?

Well...

I'm sorry.

So they were being placed to sit next to each other

at this big table full of important people.

And then, right before they were being served shellfish,

they get these bowls on the table with...

With water and lemon, to rinse their fingers.

But the Prime Minister of Japan

decided that he should drink it.

So my grandmother saw the reactions on the faces of the other guests,

and you know what she did?

She got her own bowl,

and she downed the whole thing in one go without hesitation.

What?

She was a woman who didn't really care a lot about the protocols,

she always used to walk alongside the red carpet,

but the red carpet always had to be there.

And your mother?

She can be pretty formal.

A little bit too much sometimes,

but I think she would've done the same,

she's a very sweet person.

I won't keep you in the dark anymore.

I know.

Hello, gorgeous.

Hey.

Did you get a good night's sleep?

-You? -A bit.

Sweet.

A part of your integration.

The ice is thick enough, and...

we have a couple of hours before we have to leave, so...

Now?

There is nothing more Dutch than ice skating.

You'll have to learn anyway.

So, why not now?

No, I... I'm exhausted and your country doesn't even want me, so...

-Your Prime Minister, he... -Listen, screw him.

Screw him,

screw van der Stoel,

screw everyone, screw my country.

I don't care about them,

all I care about is you and me.

Trust me, you want this.
