"ALL THAT WAS DIRECTLY EXPERIENCED, HAS BECOME MERE REPRESENTATION"

GUY DEBORD (THE SOCIETY OF THE SPECTACLE)

[Raquel] "All that was directly experienced

has become mere representation."

[Elisa] Mm-hmm.

[Raquel] And you added this quote to the press book?

Yes. I believe the quote captures it pretty well, the spirit of the series.

All of us are commodities. Placing interests over emotions.

-Lies... -No. No.

I can't bear the ridiculous people who quote things

from books they've never read.

-It's pedantic. Lose the quote. -Right.

-They're downstairs. -Very well.

Should I go with you?

Where to?

To talk to the press corp?

Dressed like that?

I've got plenty of people already presenting the corporate mascot.

Hey, by the way, did the supplies order come in?

-Yeah, yesterday. -Okay, great.

Then fill up all the candy jars. Some of them are empty.

-Who? Me? -No. Her.

-Sort the flavors. -Hmm.

[sighs]

I've read the damn book, idiot.

OFFICES

[indistinct chatter]

[Raquel] "All that was directly experienced

has become mere representation."

This line is from philosopher Guy Debord.

I think it expresses quite well what our series is dealing with.

We are all commodities.

We place interests over our emotions.

-And we lie. -[Elisa groans]

Today, you'll get an exclusive look at the first footage

of our new series. Domestic.

A satirical modern and musical look

at the ongoing struggle between class structures.

The boldest venture for Nucleo this new season will see.

You're going to be the first to see these images.

It's the first time we've shared them with the media.

DOMESTIC FROM VISIONARY DIRECTOR RAMON WARS

[Carla on TV] Hello.

A moment of your attention, please.

[upbeat pop music playing on TV]

All right, thank you very much.

I'm the assistant...

and the man standing right there got me pregnant.

Pregnant after telling me that he no longer loved his wife.

Because he was afraid of losing his house, his assets, his job

the big asshole.

Requested that we say it was a surrogate pregnancy

because obviously he wanted to keep my girl

and boot me out on the fucking street.

Ah. And he put MDMA in the punch.

MD, what?

Bravo.

Bravo!

It's one of my wife's performances and it's just marvelous.

And the shotgun is a pellet gun.

-Have some pellets then. -[gun cocks]

[up-tempo pop music playing]

She has the shotgun, the shotgun

You manipulated me You play dirty and stay clean

You haven't destroyed me

You're nobody's victim

I'm the only one to blame And I take responsibility

She has the shotgun

She has the shotgun

She has the shotgun

- She has the shotgun - [vocalizing]

[Carla] I looked for you and got in range

You took aim and hit me You're a circus hunter

Don't say a word to me

Stay silent

Now I'm armed

Now I'm armed

She has the shotgun

She has the shotgun

She has the shotgun

-[vocalizing] -She has the shotgun

I'm neither victim nor good

It'd be no use to me

I put on the chains

You preferred it that way

I won't hold you accountable

Because now it's me

- The one with the shotgun - [vocalizing]

[male actor] Drop that shotgun!

She has the shotgun

She has the shotgun

She has the shotgun

- She has the shotgun - [vocalizing]

RAGE PART 2

I say the same thing over and over again all the time.

And I explained that in therapy even if you think it's repetitious

there's always something, a new emotion that shifts the experience.

Well, that's it.

With Marga and the baby, it was easier to breathe in harmony.

-Mm. -But it was a false calm

because soon as Roberto came back into the picture

it all got more difficult.

Marga changed, both of them turned on me

and when I managed to get out of there, I had no identity.

All right. Maybe you were living with some need to aspire to more.

Yes.

Hi, Marta.

[Carolina] You're doing well with your daughter

with your roommate, with your job.

-[Tina] And I was promoted to manager. -[Carolina] See?

You've buried that furious desire.

You were great yesterday, Cris.

[Carolina] Now you know who you are, Tina.

And the truth is, you're fine.

-Noa? -[Noa] Yes.

By the cottage cheese, we sell more.

[guests singing on TV] ...the shotgun

She has the shotgun

She has the shotgun

- She has the shotgun - [Carla vocalizing]

DOMESTIC

[Raquel] A common worker, a domestic employee.

She falls in love with her boss, gets pregnant and is extorted

into giving up the baby.

And disappearing. Eh?

[laughs] This poor girl, I don't know why I find it so funny. I'm sorry.

[quirky plucky music playing]

Please, my friends.

Be very careful.

It's not a lamp there.

It's a part of the installation.

[sighs]

Hmm.

Tina? I didn't expect you here.

I'm gonna live here for ten days.

It's an installation and I'm blending it with performance art.

I was shaken by what the three of us went through, Tina.

But behold, creation again.

And now I can converse with the experience.

I'm glad you dared to come see me.

-How's the little girl? -She's fine, thank you.

Only reason I came is to ask about Roberto.

-Where he lives, what he's doing. -No, I know nothing.

But you know I'm not even a little bit curious about it.

-Do you want something from him, Tina? -No, I don't want anything.

I only need to know if he's working in television.

Potentially. He knows nothing else.

Oh, television is... [groans]

An inhumane fishbowl, Tina.

-Oh! Want a drink? I have a minibar. -No, I can't. I have to get back to work.

-Good luck with your exhibition. -No... no, it's not an exhibition.

It's a retreat for the public.

Nothing is private, Tina. Everything is spectacle.

Everything.

Not everything. I'm not.

You're sure you don't know anything, Marga?

They're making a series, images were released. Your house.

That house is run by an agency. I haven't lived there since you left.

Okay.

-You might be right, Tina. -What?

Roberto may have gone back to television.

Vera ran into him a few months back.

He's involved with the head of a streaming platform.

-Nucleo? -[chuckles] Mm... [exhales sharply]

Hello, good morning. I'm here to meet Raquel.

Which Raquel?

Raquel... I don't know. She does the series.

Are you scheduled to see her?

-Yeah. -No.

Look, I need to meet with her

because what I have to tell her is very important.

Sorry, but I can't permit anyone that isn't on the schedule.

-No? -No.

[off-kilter plucky music playing]

Well, okay then.

Hey, hey, listen. Victor, help!

Victor! What the hell?

-Hey... hey. -It'll just take a second.

Give me a second, I'll be right back down.

-[Victor] Enough. Enough. -Fuck.

Well, finally, some excitement.

I was about to die of boredom just asking for IDs.

-Let me go. Don't touch me, okay? -All right... all right.

I'm going. Look.

Shame on you. Shame on both of you.

-Out to the fucking street, lunatic. -Yeah.

[off-kilter plucky music continues]

[both panting]

Wait.

What's up, Tina?

Toni. Toni, can you please go get Alma from daycare?

I can't get there right now.

Pfft.

[both grunt]

Toni?

Yeah. Fine, I'm going. Relax, I'm going.

I have to go pick up the kid from daycare.

-You have a daughter? -No.

She's my roommate's daughter, man. You high or what?

Hello.

-Sorry, do I know you? -No. Actually, no.

-Do you mind? -I'm working, as you see.

Right. You know, I saw you on the news yesterday

presenting that new series about...

-What's it called? -Domestic.

Domestic. Exactly. Domestic.

Well, I can't wait to watch it. Really.

I mean, it's a super original idea. And it's a musical.

Not many musical series have been made, right?

No.

Fascinating that it's also based on a true story.

I never said it was based on a true story.

Yeah. But it's a true story. No?

I don't know. You think so?

And who came up with the idea?

I'm confident you know I'm not going to share that information.

Yeah... yeah, no.

I get that sometimes we as viewers are a bit too eager to know all the things.

But obviously, being a case like this...

[chuckles]

[grunts]

It is you, isn't it?

-Me what? -Oh!

It is you. I can't believe it. Oh, my God. The nutcase.

The one who shot at the all of those other guests at Roberto's house. Huh?

It's very disappointing, a woman calling another woman a nutcase

for defending herself against abuse.

Don't you ever get near me again in your fucking life.

You got that, right?

Yeah. I'm sure you do.

[clicks tongue, then sighs]

[Toni and man moaning]

Alma, sweetheart.

-Hi, Mommy. -Hi.

What's your snack there?

[moaning continues]

[moaning stops]

[Toni] I'll call you, okay?

You don't have my number.

Ah. What are you doing?

[Tina] Making dinner.

[door closes]

Usually, you have company on weekends, but it's Wednesday, right?

Are you joking?

I come in the house and I find Alma watching cartoons

you hyperventilating in the background... I don't know.

First of all, by the time you got home with that little girl

he was gonna be gone already.

But you called me to get her so I changed things around

and went to pick her up then.

Forget it, you're right.

I'm not trying to be a role model.

We talked about this.

I won't stop living my life behind my bedroom door, okay?

I have a whole catalog of traumas from childhood.

But you can rest assured that none of them were about discovering sex.

Toni, forgive me, really, it's just right now I'm really angry.

Okay, what's up?

They're releasing a series that reenacts what I went through

at the house with Marga.

But it must be only a coincidence?

A coincidence, Toni?

I saw it, it was that house, it was my bathrobe.

No way.

You don't have to be a big ol' genius to figure out who's doing it all

who's making money at my expense while I work my butt off at a supermarket.

-Yeah. -Careful, Tina

'cause we like the market.

-We do. -We do, yeah. We like the supermarket.

-Okay? Let's not fuck around with this. -Of course we like it.

You want lentils?

You mean for dinner?

All right.

Raquel... Raquel.

Didn't you hear it?

Connection with the C-Suite in five.

-Right. -Come on.

YOUR HEALING WITH INDIA

YOUR HEALING WITH INDIA

Good afternoon. I understand we're with the Content Department.

This morning, I saw there was a lot of snow falling in Berlin. Erika.

We're now implementing a new analysis system in all regions for procedures

that we're calling the Truth Committee.

It works like this, any member of a team is encouraged to report incidents

and to provide feedback on other members of the team

independent of their position.

We'll hold these committee meetings every two weeks

but we'll also open an online discussion thread

so that you can submit reports at any time.

Questions?

Mm, no.

Well, it's all clear then.

Well, I do have a question.

Hmm. Erika, when you say "independent of position"

are you saying that we can report one of our superiors, for example?

[Erika] Not that you can. But that you must, Elisa.

Okay.

[Erika] Any more questions?

I must go now. I need to connect with Toronto.

[pleasant chime plays on TV]

Raquel, why did you mention the snow in Berlin?

It's in Berlin if headquarters is in Germany.

It is in Germany, right?

[intriguing music playing]

Maybe.

I'll go with you.

Our department is very close-knit.

-We tell each other things, right? -Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Well, we'll see how this goes, I guess, right?

-Mm-hmm. -[grunts softly]

[intriguing music continues]

-Are you going? Coming? -I'm going.

-Why? Am I needed? -No, just relax. No, no.

Raquel, don't worry about the Truth Committee. Hmm?

[chuckles] These protocols end up collapsing under their own weight.

Germans.

Mm.

Just one question.

I understand that with these committees we can also report on our subordinates.

-Right? -We already do that.

Evaluation is inherent to our positions.

Oh, okay.

So it's only then appropriate if it's for a superior.

I mean, in my case, about you.

Hmm?

-Raquel, relax. -You, as well.

Well look, my character is a top executive tired of his married life...

-[Carla] It may seem harsh... -Develops an understandable attraction

to a beautiful woman that he works with on a daily basis.

And the turmoil that follows drives them both crazy.

And they wanted it to... Right.

They wanted it to come out at this date

but I don't think we're gonna make that deadline.

And just looking ahead at the calendar, right.

Okay. Yeah. I know.

[ominous music playing]

[Charo] Walk on it, don't worry about it.

MODULE 2

-What? -What?

You probably thought I was an idiot talking nonsense, huh?

-No. -Okay, sure.

Sweetheart, we already knew what this was.

-Thought you look good. -Come on. Don't lie, Leo.

-You did, fuck. -No, don't lie.

I saw you leave in the middle of my...

-Because I wanted a smoke. -Love.

Don't give me that nonsense, give me the truth.

Tell me the truth.

-Tell me the truth. -All right.

You did spend the whole interview talking nonsense.

But we knew that's the deal, no?

You're a jerk.

[Leo singing] You have nothing to give

[cell phone ringing]

Adri.

What do you mean, no?

I don't give a shit, Adri. Don't fuck with me, dude.

I'm not doing it. No.

Adri, I'm hanging up. Know what?

Take it in the ass.

God.

No.

[Leo groans]

[blows raspberry, then groans]

What?

I'm gonna tell the band to go fuck off.

But why?

Because I can't fucking deal with them anymore.

They only think about money.

But the new record?

This record's because I want it, not because I need it.

Yeah, fine. But you know new bands are fucked up. They're complicated.

When you wake up tomorrow, you might feel different.

Why don't we find a party? To celebrate your success.

-Huh? Yeah? -No, I have to work.

-Not now. -Hey, success has the lifespan of a fly.

If you don't want to celebrate it when it comes, your success, bzz...

-leaves for another. -Honey, I have to study, so no.

-Let's go. -Really, I have to study.

Hey, no. No. Let it go. Leo. Leo. Let go of the script, Leo.

Fuck, you only care about your fucking show. Shit!

What are you saying?

[light tense music playing]

-Leo, where are you going? -You know what?

-Maybe I'm tired of you too. -No, Leo. Wait.

I'll change and go with you. Leo. I'll go with you. Wait for me.

Leo, please. Don't go. Leo.

No.

-[door closes] -Oh, fuck.

[sobbing]

You're doing your hair different, no?

What?

No, no. I don't think so.

You seem to be flustered. [chuckles]

It moves me to see you like that.

What's wrong? Is it what you have to tell me?

It's back, right?

You should not have stopped the chemo. Like I explained.

-Hey, relax, this isn't your fault. -No, clearly it's not my fault.

Well, yeah, that's what I just said, this isn't your fault.

You're right, though. It's not your hair.

Actually it looks like you've gained some weight.

Could that be it, doctor?

Patricia, are you fully aware of the gravity of what I've just told you?

Yes. It's just now I'm taking care of myself.

I saw you on that show with that healer.

India Mendoza isn't just a healer.

She's a coach of the new wellness.

I have no idea why they put that woman on television.

Well, she's very successful.

[door closes]

-What are you doing? -Nothing.

-I brought dinner. -Ah.

These fries aren't the best, huh?

When was your follow-up visit?

Don't get mad, but I wanna go alone.

You're dreaming.

You haven't gone already, right?

Do you know why you seem so much older than I do?

Because of your nature, hon.

You're more sour.

You've got nerve.

Answer me, have you been to your doctor?

[sighs]

Do you wanna watch a series?

Mom, there's life outside the TV.

Well then, maybe we could get dressed and go for a drink?

You crazy? Let's play Parcheesi?

All right. We play Parcheesi.

One, two, three, four, five, take a drive.

There. Go home.

Okay.

-Thanks a lot. -You got it.

-Bye. -Bye. Have a good one.

-Here's dinner. -Listen, son.

I could've very easily just made some omelets.

Sure... sure.

But when you get home from work, you shouldn't have to do anything.

So we have Japanese food.

Japanese food.

Chema, it's just, I don't think we've ever had this before, have we?

[Chema] You'll see, you'll like it.

When I left the center, I worked with a few Japanese guys.

-Yeah. -Those fuckers would eat live eel.

So gross, Chema. Why even tell me that?

So, what you up to?

What else? He studies.

Can he answer for himself?

Or doesn't he know how?

[Charo] Come on, answer your brother.

What do you like to do besides study?

Nobody likes studying.

Well, um, studying's fine.

But what I like most is to draw.

A girlfriend?

Got a girlfriend?

Or boyfriend.

-These days you never know. -Chema.

He's a kid.

Yeah. So what?

By his age I'd fucked the neighborhood.

[sighs softly]

And you?

-What do you have planned? -To stay here.

With family.

Take a break.

The three of us.

[woman on TV] Creative cuisine. Sustainable entrees.

[cell phone ringing]

- Health and pleasure without any dyes, - [groans]

-or preservatives. -What's up, man?

An easy way to feed the whole family. Delicious.

Dude, it's gotta be now? I'm with my mother.

To your door the same day you order.

Yeah, all right. Okay.

Just lock yourself in your bedroom, don't come out. I'm coming home right now.

[Chema] That shit's not mine, they'll fucking kill me.

-Uh, Chema, please... -Hi.

Where the fuck is it?

I called about the cards?

I just don't want you to get in trouble.

-You're trying to get me murdered. -No.

You'd like that.

-And what if I kill the two of you? -Chema.

Get up.

This is what all that trouble was about.

Chema. Please, I'm begging you, Chema.

Mom. Mom, where is it?

[suspenseful music playing]

-Are you enjoying it? -So juicy.

[classical music playing softly]

I actually forgot to tell you this yesterday.

A woman came up at lunch and she wanted to chat.

-Really? -She said she'd seen me

at the series premiere, I mean, she bombarded me with questions.

When is it going to come out? Is it based on true situations?

She made a point of asking for the name of the producer.

The fans, who give us our success

usually have a certain degree of psychopathy.

Uh, they follow us, get obsessed with us.

We live off the obsession of others.

But she wasn't a fan.

What is it? What's wrong, Rosa?

Chema dragged his brother onto the street so fast.

They were screaming so loud it scared me.

When I got to the landing, he was...

He was in bad shape. Like he'd taken something.

-Who was in bad shape? Chema? -No.

Alex, the younger one, the young one. Chema carried him.

Rosa, how long ago was this, though?

-Like maybe half an hour. -No. It was longer. No.

Half an hour.

She's gone already.

[tense music playing]

Look at this guy, the little fag.

You can't even take half a pill, man.

-I don't feel good. -Motherfucker, you're a pussy, man.

-Can't handle shit, you bitch. -Leave me alone.

What are you doing? You're gonna pass out.

I don't understand. Who is that?

Did anyone call the police? This is insane.

He's fucking bleeding out in the street, okay?

I don't know what the fuck to do.

Who is that woman? What is going on?

Every day it's something's fucking new here.

-What the hell? -[man 1] Call an ambulance.

[woman 2] We need help. He needs help.

We need to get this man some help.

-[man 2] Get back inside! -[woman 2] No.

I don't know. I don't fucking know what to do.

Like, is he dead? We don't know that.

-[siren wailing] -I don't fucking know.

[woman 3] What the hell, did you see it? She just...

[man 2] I told you to stay inside! Get back! Don't even look at the window.

[woman 3] I don't know.

-I don't think... -[man 1] I don't care what happened.

[woman 3] Guys! Okay, go back inside the house. Do not...

No, get inside the house.

No. I need you to fucking listen to me right now.

Get inside the house. I am not... Get in the fucking house.

[man 2] Get back inside!

[woman 3] Anyone gonna call an ambulance? Oh, my God, please find a doctor.

Are you a doctor? Is anyone gonna do anything?

No, this is... I'm taking...

-This is insane. What is going on? -[man 2] This is crazy!

Move it!

[woman 3] Who the... who knows? Now she's just laying over him.

-We don't... -why it happened?

Did she shoot him herself?
