I think they're coming.

I know.

We are two weeks away from the premiere.

And we still don't have an end.

- You're very violent on stage.
- Not all of them. Fabio and Matthias.

- What?
- Everyone had their moment.

- I don't think so.
- We're not the only ones.

Everyone jumps higher than others.

If I hit someone in the face and cut their eyebrow,

I won't feel responsible.

Now we have to control ourselves
because the two of you can't...

Your job as an actor is also to control yourself on stage.

When your body was stiff,
you hurt me.

- But that was at the beginning of rehearsals.
- It still hurts.

Everyone, calm down. Listen.

I'm sorry, Uncle. But you know what,

The way you talk reflects what is happening.

The way you talk is violent in itself.

I don't know what you're doing with your lives...

You can hide whatever you want from me. But on stage...

No one is hiding.

What was that?

- "Discreet 35" sent a message.
- Fuck you, Fabio!

I'm telling you this, people.
No one listens.

I'm 100% focused on the show, Larisa.

- And I wasn't?
- I don't know,

- sending sexual messages during rehearsal.
- You read other people's messages.

Hey! I don't know what to do with you. You live together...

I don't know whether to let you kill each other or kick you out of the show.

Look. The two you were looking for.

Matias and Fabio.

Fabio, isn't it?

That's right.

I am Pamela.

I am a casting producer.

I know.

They mentioned that you're coming to see the rehearsal.

Really?

What else did they say?

That the series will be filmed here in Porto Alegre.

You're casting actors for the series, too.

That's a big production.

Almost the entire cast isn't from here.

Except for the main characters. We want unknown faces.

I think you're what I'm looking for.

And what is that?

The guy is rough...

womanizer...

deceiver

Take my business card.

Get in touch. I'll schedule an audition.

Of course.

I'll like it.

Then I'll wait.

Thank you.

Bravo.

Thank you.

Nice!

Bravo. You deserved it.

- No more frozen pizza.
- I see that.

Don't walk alone at night, Matthias.

This city is very dangerous.

Matthias?

There is no number 57.

The office is a few blocks from here.

Why did you give me this address then?

I don't want anyone to see that someone is coming.

We drive there and enter through the yard.

Come in.

Are you married?

What if I am?

Discreet, 35

Yes...

It seems so.

ZENESUL
Construction and Real Estate

Is this house yours?

I'm here for the first time.

They gave me a house to work here for a while.

It will be torn down next year.

Will this knock it down?

I know...

Thank you.

These people have so much money, tearing down this house means nothing to them.

You didn't say your name.

Rafael.

Rafael.

You're not from around here.

I moved here two months ago.

Do you do this often?

I'm dating guys from apps.

I prefer to meet at parties, but it's nice to be different.

And I am a variation?

I don't think you're the type of person I'd meet out on a night on the town.

And you?

Do you meet a lot of guys on apps?

No.

So I'm a variation.

Just to clarify...

I never go on other dates.

And today you woke up
thinking "I have to fuck."

They gave me the keys to this house tonight.

I thought I should enjoy it before it becomes an office.

And can you have sex here?

So, we are committing a crime.

Speaking of sex...

I have to get up early tomorrow.

Look at me while I'm telling you this.

I know you're a pro at running away, but that's enough.

You don't scare me.

You're afraid of my love.

I know it's a mess, but it's real. Don't laugh.

This is the chaos I offer you.

You don't know how much it hurts when you run away.

I don't want to wake up
and feel that you've just come home,

while I'm wondering where the hell she was all night.

I think it's good, Fabio.

Really?

You manage to be more restrained.

To act in front of the cameras, that's what these people want.

But... there's a lack of presence.

Yes. I'm having a hard time finding it.

I'm afraid I'm overdoing it.

- In front of the cameras.
- You won't. They want emotional potential.

Do it like this...

Think of something that you, Fabio, want very much.

Now use this message to say that.

Let me see.

Start. Okay?

If you leave right away, you'll conquer them.

Look at me while I'm telling you this.

I know you're a pro at running away, but that's enough.

You don't scare me.

You're afraid of my love.

I know it's chaos, but it's real.

Yeah! Absolutely, man.

I think this guy is confused, he doesn't know what he's feeling.

So, I don't know...

But this is the moment you need to find.

Where the character lets down their guard
and shows their true self.

Matthias

- Matthias!
- What?

Watch out, you're too relaxed. Focus on rigidity.

Alright.

Fabio. Don't rush, or you'll fall by yourself.
Calm down. Calm down.

There you go.

Breathe.

That's it.

Now you start to turn.

No, people! No!

One of you has to stay up there.

You can't both fall, you know that.

- Can't it be wider?
- No. It's supposed to be hard.

- It's the end of the show.
- What if we both stay?

If both of you stay, one must push the other.

Only one can survive.

Well then, whoever's left...
Alright... Pay attention.

He who is left...

says the final monologue
and ends the play.

But I need one of you to stay. Okay?

Let's go.
One more time. Let's go.

Damn it!
Let me go!

Come!

Hey.

Not here.

Aren't you too handsome to be a businessman?

Can actors have tattoos?

My mom was sick. I promised I'd buy her one if she felt better.

Do you agree?

Yes, I think we agree.

We're far apart.

I understand.

- You came here to be a theater actor.
- Yes.

I was invited to be a part of the new show by the group Tremor.

Yes, they are incredible.

Congratulations.

What about TV and film? Have you done that?

No.

But I would like.

I understand.

To become famous
and make your mom proud.

Have you heard that they're going to be filming a big TV series here?

Are you going to the audition?

I think I'm not what they're looking for.

It must be because of the tattoo.

Mateja, I came back here recently.

Because of a new phase in my career.

Many people wanted my current position.

Older and more traditional people...

They said I didn't seem confident.

Do you know what I did?

I went to everyone who could help me.

I listened to them one by one.

What were they looking for
in this new person.

Then I began to transform...

convincing them that I am the ideal person.

And what when they find out you're not who you say you are?

- You did that...
- Like a play?

Yes. Theater.

Will that get you into trouble?

Matej, I don't want to be a supporting actor. Do you?

To be the main character, you have to offer what they want.

You have to give up some things.

Shit.

- Hide.
- What?

Hide in the car.

- Mr. Rafael?
- Yes.

Don't worry, she doesn't bite.

I'm glad, I'm Kamilo.

Head of Security, Zenesul.

Yes, yes.

Dr. Otavio spoke well of you.

He said you're his best employee.

Collaborator

And one of the oldest.

He tasked me with taking personal care of you.

I'm here to solve every problem.

Nice. I look forward to working together.

Sorry for dropping by unannounced, I didn't think anyone would be here.

I worked late.

You'd better get some rest. The marathon starts this week.

It's true.

Good night, then.

Good night.

Mr. Rafael?

Yes?

Dr. Otavio is very impressed with you.

He usually doesn't make mistakes.

Stay down.

Do you want to come in?

I have a full day tomorrow.

Good luck.

With what?

With the series and the theater.

Good luck to you too.

You're not afraid of me.
You're afraid of my love.

I know it's chaos, but it's really...

Look at me while I'm telling you this.

You're not afraid of me,
you're afraid of my love.

It's chaos, but it's real.

I know you're a pro at running away, but that's enough.

You're not afraid of me,
you're afraid of my love.

Matthias...

Matthias...

Your name is not here.

Are you sure it's today?

- That's what Pamela said.
- Did Pamela schedule it?

Yes. She even gave me her business card.

Here

Hello, welcome. Sofia Alcantara. Director of the series.

Excuse me?

Weren't they just duets?

- What are you doing here?
- Me?

I came to the audition.

- Listen, there must have been a mistake.
- Okay, fine.

Let's continue. I'm tired.

To speed things up, take these two to the studio.

I'll interview him, and later we'll switch.

Sounds good.

This way, please.

My name is Matthias. I'm 23 years old.

- And where are you from, Matthias?
- Engenho Veljo. Do you know?

It is one of the smallest cities in the state. It doesn't even have 2,000 residents.

So what were you doing there?

My mom is a veterinarian.

I helped her.

Did you come for the Tremor group's performance?

They are excellent.

I've known Larisa's work for a long time, we've been friends for ten years.

Has the performance changed since that rehearsal?

Little

I became the main character.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Why do you want to work in television if theater is going so well for you?

Television saved my life.

- Seriously.
- Television?

Seriously, really. I had insomnia as a kid.

When those moments came
I would go to the living room...

I would turn on the TV, play a movie, and stay there.

I would imagine myself as the characters.

I would imagine myself living those adventures.

Getting to know other lives. Lives that were very different from mine.

And that pulled me out of my loneliness.

You know?

That's wonderful.

But let's get to the topic of our series.

Let's do it.

Tell me one of your love stories.

- What do you think?
- If you're comfortable, of course.

- I remembered a good one.
- I want to hear it.

I was in eighth grade...

and I was lonely at that time.

But then a new student came to the class.

Everyone thought she was a little strange, but not me.

It seemed to me as if she had come from another world.

Since I was very shy, I didn't go talk to her.

But then the theater entered my life.

They started offering a theater course.

in the nearby town, 30 km from Om Engenho Velho.

I enrolled, and she did the same.

- We would go out together, talk...
- What was her name?

Larisa.

Larisa...

The same name as your show's director.

Exactly.

Listen, Matthias...

I really admire the will you have to accept this role.

I know it's hard.

But I can't let you go on with this monologue.

Why not?

Let me show the director that I know how to act.

I know you know you're acting. I've seen you on stage, you're great.

So what then?

We need a lead actor who fits the character.

In front of and behind the camera.

This is what works for the audience and for the people who invest.

But there will be other characters too.

Characters more like you.

Sometimes they come up with more fluid characters. That was requested.

But that won't work for this character.

I'm sorry.

Rafael!

Just a second.

Can I help you?

I want to talk to Rafael.

This is not a good time.

It won't last long.

I want to get a jacket.

I left her here.

Dr. Otavio, you can go inside and talk to him. We'll see each other later.

Alright. Good idea. Let's go.

Can you go, please?

Man, I'm having a terrible day. Please...

I'm worried about Mr. Rafael.
I know he's not waiting for you.

Then you're not doing a good job.

I'm sure they'll accept me.

I'll tell you something
that's for your own good.

Go and don't come back, okay?

Don't touch me!

- Don't shout.
- Rafael!

VOTE FOR RAFAEL MENDES
MAYOR

Go!

Life or death is the question.

He doesn't expect this.

Notice his knee. Pull his leg.

Forward

Take control of the situation.

Is this the ending you want for your character?

Turn the game around.

What are you doing here?

- I want to talk for a minute.
- I have nothing to talk to you about.

Especially with this clown next to you.

You are a councilman.

Are you running for mayor?

I want to apologize for yesterday.

It was a misunderstanding.

You're afraid I'll post this, aren't you?

I shouldn't have behaved that way toward you, sir.

If you are a friend of Mr. Rafael, you are a friend of mine.

- Are you friends with Rafael Mendes?
- No. We just fucked.

Can we talk for a bit?

For God's sake, Matthias!

Matthew...

I have built my life for this moment.

I have to be careful not to mess up.

Man. You're wasting your time if you're here to run a political campaign.

I don't want your voice.

Will I be in the secretariat if you are elected?

I was serious when I said I wasn't going on other dates.

You were the first.

Kiss me then.

What?

Come here. Kiss me.

- You know I can't.
- Why not?

Kiss me.

When you get what you want...

You will have to reconsider the way you behave.

SOLD OUT

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

I have two reserved tickets.
Sofia Alcantara.

Premiere

Voice, tone, body.

It's time to go all in.

Make the most of every opportunity you have on stage.

Break a leg!

Break a leg!

It was a night with disorienting weather.

Time seemed distorted, and breathing was difficult.

Everything seemed like a dream.

But be careful, my son. To dream, you must be alive.

I have to admit to myself, I am the only one responsible for my failure.

No one, regardless of their position,

He cannot be destroyed except for his own actions. Did you understand?

No. I don't understand.

- I don't believe you mean that.
- I do. Of course I do.

Maybe the world was cruel to us, there's no doubt about that.

But what we did against ourselves...

It is much more destructive.

Matej... I have to stay upstairs tonight. Okay?

You need to fall.

Sofija, the series' director, is here. She came to see me.

It's your turn.

No. She came to see me.

He fell.

The owl cuts the sky,
but it does not approach.

Be afraid.

With my sweaty body
and my face smeared with blood...

At first, I am overcome with a feeling of fear.

And soon after that, relief.

Things are different here.

The wind seems to be pushing me...

The ground seems to be pulling me, and my body is starting to betray me.

But with every second I stay here, I feel stronger.

This is the closest anyone can get to feeling God.

I wonder if the people down there
pass by and think...

Who is that giant man?

If I stay here...

Will they remember me?

If I fall...

Will my fall wake them up?

How long do you think I'll last up here?

We debuted in grand style!

That's it!

- Excellent evening.
- Matthias...

- What a great monologue.
- It was incredible.

Are you satisfied with this shit? Are you satisfied?

- Congratulations!
- Hey, hey, hey!

- Idiot! Go to hell!
- Matthias. Enough.

- Pick this up. Now.
- I'm not picking anything up.

- Leave it.
- Let me go.

- He's getting lost, you idiot.
- I'll talk to him.

I've never been to this part of town.

My parents worked as hosts nearby, so I often came here.

I loved it when they worked late.

I stayed here and played.

I felt like the city was watching me.

Then my dad died,
my mom remarried,

And we moved to Rio.

I haven't been here since then.

A new city council survey has been published.

- I scored eight points, I'm in second place.
- Congratulations.

Wait.

Rafaele, I really liked Matthias.

Thank you for inviting me to see the show.

I'll talk to him about the series tomorrow.

Sophia.

Is this real?

- I didn't ask you for anything.
- But I didn't do anything either.

As a politician, I only helped bring the series here.

And tonight I invited Sofia to watch the show, that's it.

You are the one who captivated her.

Soon, people down there will be watching you.

Are you ready for this?

Your face will be everywhere.

People will recognize you.

Very

Very

Hide, hide.

Come here, come.

Come

- Hey! Look at these guys fucking!
- Let's go!

When I saw the director there...

I thought it was my chance to get this role.

Haven't you already proven yourself at the audition?

- Yes.
- So what?

But that was her chance to see me on stage.

The deal is, whoever knocks the other one down, stays on top.

Tonight, that was me.

Do you think you have what they're looking for?

It's up to them to decide.

I hope one of us gets the role.

Yes

Listen, Matthias, I know we haven't known each other for long...

All right?

We live together, we work together, and we're competing for the same role. That's a lot.

We were in conflict.

But I shouldn't have done that.

Sometimes I do things without thinking.

But when you get to know me better...

You'll see that you can count on me.

Me too. I'm sleeping at Jo's.

Now we have to find it in Matthias...

brutality

This energy that is more rigid...

Bento doesn't gesture too much, he rarely smiles...

She doesn't have a delicate demeanor, you know?

Yes. Don't worry.

I'm a trained actor, I can do this.

- Excellent.
- Excuse me, is everything all right?

- Yes. - Excuse me for eavesdropping, are you actors?

He is.

- Then I should get to know him.
- You'll meet him soon.

- Can we take a picture?
- No. Let's do it.

Thank you. Enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

Matej, are you on social media?

Let me see.

Here

Is this your group of friends at the party?

Those are people from the theater.

That's right, I recognize some faces.

This photo of your naked butt here. Unnecessary, isn't it?

That's not something we publish. We charge for that.

Alright. You're right.

Is the boy you're kissing your boyfriend?

No. He's just a friend.
We kissed for the picture.

Nice.

It's great that you're an open guy.
But you will...

to present to the whole country for the first time.

That's not your little theater group.

The land will learn how to be silent.

You don't have to delete these posts.

But archive them.
Keep them just for yourself.

Basically, these more intimate ones that reveal too much about Matthias.

You'll have to deal with a certain group while you play the heartbreaker leader.

Build this imaginary world.

So that people could watch Bent...

but to dream about Matthias.

Alright.

The contract has a behavior clause. Okay?

That's a matter of sponsorship.

But this clause allows the network to fire you.

in case something in your personal life affects the series.

You are at the center of all this.

If you don't work...

The series is not working.

Do you understand me?

It's confirmed!

That will change my career.

- Success!
- It's going to change my career.

Hey.

I like the clothes.

Rafaele?

What are you doing here?

Is that you?

There are too many people here. Let's go somewhere else.

Come on.

Have you been here before?

Let's go there.

- Are you a robot or something?
- No.

I just don't want them to see me with anyone.

Bro, listen...

You didn't want to kiss me at the bar so they wouldn't see you

But you want us to have sex here where the whole city can come anytime?

No one is coming.

See...

I'm going.

It's been a tiring day today, too, Mr. Matthias.

I'll move your hair.

- This color is lovely.
- What do you think? Are you comfortable?

I like it.

- Sonja...
- Yes?

Can you check if there are any more chairs?

There isn't one, I already checked.

Sonja. Check again.

Alright.

It's been a long time, Mr. Matthias.

Look at yourself.

I like the style.

Do you need anything?

Rafael.

He is in the office. He has a meeting soon.

I won't be long.

Are you crazy for coming here?

You left me alone at the cruise.

What kind of cruise?

I can't do anything publicly.

If they catch us making love in the park, it'll all be over.

But it would be incredible.

It would be.

But that can't happen.

How are you?

- Is everything okay?
- Great.

Mr. Rafael?

Yes?

They started to arrive.

A meeting with the campaign sponsors is being held.

- Haven't they already given the money?
- Partially, yes.

But now I have to listen to expectations.

Align interests.

What if they find out you're fucking the guy upstairs?

Will this be within their expectations?

What if I go down there
with a hard-on?

Does this count as "alignment of interests"?

Go.

Everything is ready, Mr. Rafael.

And if you'll allow me, I'd like to take two chairs.

Of course.

Okay, I can take one.

Excuse me.

When Rafael's men came to me asking

campaign financing...

That caused a lot of debate.

here in Zanesville. Not because of the candidate's character, of course.

But because he is young and has more modern ideas.

It's not as aligned with the ideology as we would like.

I even told him: "Rafael..."

Your board must be here.

Here in Zanesville. To diversify your voter base.

Then Rafael promised me three things...

First, they will turn Porto Alegre into a better city.

Alright, I don't doubt it.

You can look at Raphael and see what kind of citizen he is.

Second, so as not to allow progress...

I apologize for my performance language...

He would not allow the pillars of this city to be shaken.

Third, and most important...

We will win this election!

Yes!

After the results of these first polls...

I decided to make a new personal investment in the campaign.

This campaign will succeed and bring a profit to each of us.

Especially to our city.

Local Actor Appears in New National Series

Matias Oliveira was invited to act in a national series.

- Incredible.
- Fabio, bring us some.

- Look at this picture.
- Great picture.

RAFAEL MENDES LEADS IN THE MAYORAL RACE

I thought you were going to sleep at Joana's.

I am. But we fought and I decided to come back.

We met in the park, didn't we?

- A few weeks ago.
- Yes, I remember.

- I saw you in the play. You were great.
- Thank you.

Will you be in the series too?

I'm coming!

Do you know what time it is?

- 10:05 PM.
- Quiet time is at 10:00 PM.

You're five minutes late, then.

- I think I'd better go.
- Okay.

Guys...

Please, stay.
I'll be in my room.

- You'll have your privacy.
- No, it's okay. It's already late.

I'll walk you to your car.
Hey!

Stay a little longer.

If you go now, you'll run into that lunatic in the hallway.

You are a lovely couple.

I don't remember the last time I was in a club.

You weren't so bad for someone out of shape.

That's because I hooked up with the hottest guy at the party.

Yes!

Let's go, team!

Down

Join the change

Do you want stickers?

No. Thank you.

I want to talk to Rafael.

Do you have an appointment?

No, but they'll want to hear what I have to say.

Who else has this video?

No one, for now.

I have it saved in other places.

Your boss won't want to lose all the money invested when this video leaks.

- Fabio?
- That's right.

Fabio...

There are gay politicians today.

- Gay actors. The world has changed.
- Yeah, maybe.

A few of them. The ones who behave well.

Those who inspire respect.

But not someone who fucks in public.

Close to family.

Exposed to everyone.

Who will accept that?

What do you want?

I want Matthias to lose his role and for me to join the cast.

And how am I going to do that?

I have nothing to do with those people.

Rafael sent the director to see Matthias.

I'm sure you can find a way.

You are the largest construction company in the state.

Maybe I'll look for a completely new apartment.

Believe me, I'm reasonable.

What a wonderful friend you are.

And why can Matthias have everything, and I have nothing?

Do you think Matthias has everything?

One more thing...

He must not know...

Under no circumstances.

Look, I'm not a bad person. Okay?

I just don't like it when people take what's mine.

I'll fix this, it's gone too far anyway.

Thank you for showing me the video.

Fabio.

One of the actors from the series is causing a lot of trouble.

They want to replace him.

I told them about you.

Really?

Do you remember Sofia, the director?

When I told her your name,
did she say "the boy with the big smile"?

She seemed interested.

It's not certain yet, but I have a good feeling.

Let's just say we're even.

I forgot to turn off the sound.

I already know who that is.

Elections are coming...

He is nervous and said that he has to talk to me.

We'll meet after this.

Done.

Matthias

Thank you.

If you need anything...

Really, anything...

Let me know.

Alright.

Hey.

Relax, buddy.

Are you okay?

Yes

- I am. I'm just tired.
- Relax, man.

Everyone has bad days.

Rest. Tomorrow will be better.

Damn it. Same shit every night.

Come on, I already warned you not to be loud.

I won't be long.

I just need to go inside to sign the contract and pick up some documents.

We can go to my apartment later.

- Stay at home?
- Rafael...

Can we go inside for a minute?

Shall we go?

Of course.

Did something happen?

Mr. Matijas...

Dr. Otavio has a meeting with Mr. Rafael.

I believe it will be long.

But I will take you home.

Can you believe that not even Mr. Rafael knows everything I do for him?

You know, it's a part of me to take care of people.

I took care of my family...
About my first boss...

About my new boss.

And now I am taking care of Mr. Rafael.

And a little about you, as well.
Is that so, Mr. Matthias?

I think this is yours.

Can I give you some advice?

Stay away from Mr. Rafael.
Don't look for him anymore.

I guarantee they won't look for you anymore.

The two of you fought very hard to get to where you are.

So many people have invested in you both.

Everyone has the right to live as they wish.

As long as it's in private.

But, of course...

The two of you no longer have privacy, you are now public figures.

You get everything you want.

Your mom must be very proud.

Mrs. Rosangela, is that so?

This city is very dangerous.

Who knows, maybe things will get a little better with Mr. Rafael in charge.

Fabio? Fabio?

Fear of flying?

"Would you like some water?"
"No, no. It's okay."

This is a journey. It's not the one I wanted to take.

If you want to talk about it...

I don't want to bother you with that.

I'm free for the next two hours.

What do you say to this?
I really need a glass of water.

I'll bring us some, and you'll tell me your story?

I'm sorry, I know this question might sound strange,

But don't I know you from somewhere?

No problem. We'll talk about it.

Ready?

- Are you going back to Rio?
- Yes.

Just three days, then I'm starting a soap opera.

- It's good that things are happening.
- Yes, but I'm a little sad. Thanks.

Why?

Because I feel like I was a stereotype and now they're calling me for the same thing.

Well, you must be used to this.

Actually, this is my first role, so...

- Is this your first job?
- Yes.

You're great, did you know that?

- Do you have an agent?
- Not yet, but I'm looking for one.

I can recommend you to my agent, he's great.

Do you think you can get rid of your accent?
That's what they'll ask you.

I can try.

Can I give you some advice? The less he knows about you, the better.

You understand, don't you?

Yes

Yes, I am.

Mom, I'll call you later, okay?

Candidate Rafael Mendes, you have one minute for your closing remarks.

Thank you, Jacqueline.

I want to talk to you.

I would like to thank everyone who watched us tonight.

And I have something to reveal.

I believe in our society.

I believe that each of us has a key role.

which needs to be filled in.

I have been preparing for this moment for a long time.

I have dedicated my life to this.

And I remain strong because I believe in this city.

And because the city speaks with me. It begs for change.

For passion.

There are moments in our lives when we have to choose who we will be.

Just as it is one of those moments now.

I'm sure that this week...

The people of Porto Alegre know how to choose the candidate who will lead this city.

Someone who will represent the citizens.
All of us.

And the full strength of our people.

Thank you very much.
And join the change.

Excuse me.

I'm very sorry.

For what?

For all this.

People were saying that you would be chosen.

I want to.

How was it on the set?

The journalist came to the set today.

She asked a lot of nasty questions.

Did you respond to them well?

It gets easier over time.

It's all theater.

This is the best moment of our lives, Matthias..

Think about everything that's still to come.

This week I will win the election.

And I will become mayor.

After years of building up to this moment.

Did you know that I was terribly afraid of public speaking when I was a kid?

I used to stutter.

He was sweating.

He cried.

We are learning things.

I will sit on the most important chair in this city.

Can you imagine?

Changing people's lives? Improving all of this?

Your series will be aired soon.

He will recognize you wherever you go.

Every night you will enter the homes of people you don't know.

They will go to bed thinking...

Who is this actor who understands me so well?

You, with your job, and I, with mine...

We provide the example.

Because that's what people like us do.

You're going to premiere the show, and I'll be there to watch.

That's part of the mayor's job, isn't it?

In the end, I will go out on stage and greet the actors.

We will look each other in the eye.

We will shake hands. And smile.

On vacation, who knows, maybe we'll meet in another country.

Accidentally.

In the same city.

At the same time.

And in a few years...

when we both build careers...

and people already respect us...

if we've done everything right...

We will be able to publish this.

It won't be that important anymore.

I will continue to win elections.

You will have the best roles.

And in our home...

Our moments will be just ours.

No one will complain about that.

What's happening?

Dad, don't go there. Don't.

I was in a bar and heard a gunshot.

I think they are coming.

I know.

Direct the light across the bridge.

Honey, turn on the camera.

Night Stage
