["I Got The Music In Me"
by Kiki Dee Band playing]

♪ Ain't got no trouble in my life ♪

♪ No foolish dream to make me cry… ♪

My name is Maca.

I'm 29 years old.

I've been a loser for 28 of those years,
but I'm evolving.

I am becoming a--

-[screams]
-[woman laughs] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Maca] …a bad bitch.

[all laughing]

♪ I got the music in me ♪

♪ I got the music in me ♪

♪ I got the music in me ♪

♪ Yeah
I got the music in me ♪

♪ I got the music in me ♪

♪ I got the music in me ♪

-No more! No more!
-[woman] Adriana.

-You're kidding. All three or nothing.
-It looks great. What's the matter?

It looks like two big tits.

Eh. More like two little tits.

Look. I've never been able to handle pain,
to be honest.

Nothing… nothing hurts as much as when
you feel weak, when really you're not.

[breathes deeply]

[breath trembling] Fine.

[tattoo machine buzzing]

Okay. Here goes…

I believe… I believe in love
more than anything.

In Julián, I believe
in the family record book,

I believe in Sunday lunches
with my mother-in-law,

I believe in wedding anniversaries,
and I really believe in our mortgage.

[breathes heavily]

[Adriana] Oh.

[Adriana breathing heavily]

[Maca] Probably not
the right time to argue.

Adriana knows what I think
about the state of her marriage.

[Julián breathing heavily]

-[Adriana] You like that?
-[Julián gasps] I love it.

Let me do you.

No, no. You can cum. Go ahead.

[Maca] She's trying to convince us
that she might be asexual.

[chuckles]

You don't have to settle for this
just because one day you said, "I do."

[gasps]

[Maca chuckles] I keep telling her
that there's no way she's asexual.

Is it true
that in some parts of Papua New Guinea

that tattoos are sometimes used
to invoke the dead?

[Maca] Jimena was dating Santi

when he crossed the street
without looking,

which happened 11 years ago.

[Jime] I have to choose between
the one with three cameras

or the one with the awesome memory.

What do you think?

[Maca] Since then,
she's been obsessed with Nesquik

and finding a way to see him again.

Her last attempt arrived from Indonesia.
Reincarnation powder.

Santi's spirit is around the corner
for only $200 plus shipping.

[pop music playing]

Jime is certain that Santi will appear
in the flesh sooner or later.

So she looks for him
wherever the flesh is.

They always do or say something
Santi would never have said.

So inevitably, she starts over again.

And of course, I'm not perfect.

I wish I were more self-confident,
stronger,

and could ignore what others think of me.

But I'm on it.

[bartender] It's been denied.

-Bummer.
-[Maca] As usual.

Well, it just means you're empowered.

Who needs more? He's gorgeous to me.

[Maca breathing heavily]

We meet once a week.

No movie, no shopping, no dinners,
or any of that shit.

Thanks to that, I have free time
to mind my own business.

Being in a committed relationship
is a mental black hole.

[chuckles] It pulls you off-track.

I date me and I fuck him.

I used to be naive about all this…

but not now.

["Last Nite" by The Strokes playing]

♪ …when I feel left out ♪

♪ So I ♪

♪ I turned 'round

♪ Oh, baby, gonna be all… ♪

-[Maca] Turn it off.
-[man] What?

-Dammit! Turn it off.
-What?

Quick! Turn it off before--

[song continues]

♪ Oh people, they don't understand… ♪

[Maca panting]

[man] What the fuck was that?

[panting] I said I'm working on it. Okay?

Why the hell
am I always talking about men?

Let's talk about me.

Oh. Watch out!
Matcha can't get mixed with soy.

Oh my God.

Good morning.

I just published the picture
I edited yesterday with #AdoptDontBuy.

-[woman] Mm-hmm.
-I managed to get Andrés Sardá

to dress you for the ceremony
and Odyssey to do the makeup.

-Mmm?
-[Maca] And I'm still writing your speech.

So as soon as I finish it,
I'll get it to you--

[woman] Maca, what's going on?

It's your tea.

I left you a voicemail.
I already said this to you.

A voicemail?

Yes, darling. A voicemail.

[sighs] At four in the morning.

[woman] I've changed my diet.
I won't be eating for 20 hours a day.

What? Women in Calcutta
have been doing it for centuries,

and they look stupendous.

I'm pretty sure they don't make a choice
about their fasting, though.

I don't get it.

Nothing. I'm happy to drink it.

[woman] If you don't mind,
I don't want any temptations nearby.

Okay? And so in my presence you'll
have to pretend you're fasting as well.

Supportive fasting.

And, Maca, I'd rather you wear high heels.
You know that.

Sometimes you just drive me crazy.

I don't wear heels
because I don't want to get blisters

for someone who pays in pennies,
who makes me work weekends,

and who will now even starve me to death.

[chuckles] Please just show me
some respect.

Let's talk about the ulcer
I'll end up with

for not daring to speak my mind to Pipa,

my oppressive and insufferable boss.

But slaves aren't supposed to complain,
and that's essentially what I am to her.

I started working for Pipa
a year and a half ago,

when I didn't believe in myself at all.

To be fair, she never lied to me.

You do everything,
but won't get credit from me.

Pictures, texts, you tie my shoelaces.

I'll pay you almost nothing.
I'm very demanding.

And I'll make you cry.

But it won't be my fault.
I've been diagnosed a psychopath.

So, about your feelings…
Well, why would they matter to me?

Absolutely.

[electro-pop music playing]

[Maca] Pipa is number nine
in the national ranking of influencers.

She's gone up 12 positions this year.

-[crowd cheering] Pipa!
-[camera shutters clicking]

[Maca] She thinks it's because
of the new vintage filter.

However, I think she's kidding herself.

Pipa! Right here.

♪ Just, just, just, whoo! ♪

♪ You've got me… ♪

[audience clapping]

And in the category of
Most Inspirational Influencer, the winner…

is Pipa!

[triumphant music playing]

[Pipa] Oh. Thank you so much.

[Pipa chuckles, clears throat]

Thank you so much. [laughs]

I'm a little bit nervous. [clears throat]

One little post can be a message…

-Thousands of people.
-…for thousands of people.

We have the responsibility
and the beautiful duty

to make a difference.

It's the art of communication.

Thanks to each and every one
of my followers

and all of you that are here today.

Honestly, thank you so much.

[crowd whooping]

And I…

I could have never won
this very special award if not for…

[Pipa breathes deeply]

…my boost-up serum,
Magic Fresh Light by Ophalo.

-It's €25 in department stores now.
-[crowd murmuring]

[chuckles] Thank you! Whoo!

-[triumphant music playing]
-[audience applauding]

[Pipa chuckles]

[club music playing]

[breathing heavily]

Aah!

Oh.

Oh my God.

[sighs]

[toilet flushes]

[door rattles open]

Hello?

Hello? Is there anyone out there
with a tampon?

[woman] Yes. I've got something better.

[footsteps approaching]

[woman] I always carry one of these
to give away.

Try it. You'll love it. You'll see.

I've been trying to use the cup
for the last four months,

but I can't seem
to figure out which way it goes.

[woman] These are my own brand,
and they're so easy to use.

-Raquel?
-Yes?

Raquel, it's Maca.

[Raquel] Maca. Gorgeous girl.

Of course. I saw Pipa,
and I thought about you.

I'll tell you how to use the cup.

Grab it by the wide part
with the tips of your fingers…

-[Maca] Mm-hmm.
-…and it'll slide in easier. You'll see.

All right.

-[Raquel] Did you get it? Mm.
-Mm. One moment. I'm trying it now.

Let's see.

Mmm, yeah. Went right in.

Bingo! What do you know?

[Raquel chuckling]
They're different. Right?

It's wonderful.

[toilet flushes]

-Raquel.
-Maca.

-So pretty tonight.
-Congratulations for winning.

Oh, thanks. It's nice to be recognized.

-How have you been?
-Well, overwhelmed as always.

-[sighs] The problem is Pipa.
-[Maca chuckles]

Maca, I keep telling you,

with your potential, social media agencies
should be fighting over you.

Yeah. But I'm not sure
if that's what I want.

[Raquel] Well, whatever.
You shouldn't be exploited.

Obviously.

It's time to find new contacts for you.

Stand your ground, Maca.

For me? Really?

You deserve this.

-Oh, thanks.
-[Raquel chuckles]

Well, I gotta go. This event
is extremely tedious, and I have a date.

-[Maca] Have fun!
-Thank you.

-Ciao.
-Ciao.

[Pipa] So?

So I'm gonna be on my way.
You'll have to go back home on your own.

Mm-hmm.

And tomorrow, I'll coming in at 11:00.
No, 12:00.

[sighs] Oh, darling.

-Yeah?
-Look at your feet.

Do you think that's okay?

I ask you to be smart about how you dress,

and you show up in front

Well, Converse are in again.

Yeah. If you're cool enough
to get away with it.

[all laughing]

That poor girl understands nothing.

[melancholy music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[Maca sighs]

Well, they cost a lot.
What else should I do?

Plus, I can't afford
to have such a dramatic episode.

[cell phone chimes]

Well, girls, you won't believe
what Pipa just did to me.

She is a fucking terrible person.

I was in the toilet. I bumped into Raquel,

the influencer I've talked to you about,
who's super nice.

Raquel?

-[Leo] What's your name?
-Macarena.

Do you go by Maca or Macarena?

[laughs] Maca.

Maca. I love "Maca."
This one's to you, Maca.

-[Maca] And what's your name?
-My name's Leo.

What? No toast to me?

♪ …she said, "Oh, baby, I feel so down" ♪

[Maca] This was the deepest,
and most passionate story of my life.

Ever since that first look.

[melancholy music playing]

[Maca giggles]

All the happiness movies had promised me
seemed real and eternal.

["If I Could Choose"
by Pajaro Sunrise playing]

[Maca moaning, giggling]

Okay. Now recite

second section of Article 66.

[Maca] "When there are
two or more extenuating circumstances,

that means…" [gasps]

"…the penalty next in degree
as prescribed by law…"

[Leo] Maca, please. You know
I can't stand it when you do that.

-No. I can't stand you.
-No. I can't stand you.

-You are an imbecile.
-Shut up.

[Maca laughs]

Our connection was intense.

Incredibly intense.

I thought that what we had was unique

and that it could never happen again
with anyone else.

Never.

["Hero" by Regina Spektor playing]

♪ No one's got it all ♪

♪ No one's… ♪

[Maca] But one day, he disappeared.

He suddenly left behind
the life we had planned together.

He never apologized.

He just left.

And I ended up stuck,

thinking it would be impossible
for me to be happy without him.

[doorbell ringing]

What the hell is this?

-[Adriana] Come on.
-[Maca] But… Okay. Close the door.

You haven't slept at all. Have you?

-[Maca groaning]
-[Adriana] All right. Who needs coffee?

No. No. No. No. No.

-[Jime] No, no, no. Maca, get up.
-Let's go. Get up.

-[Jime] Okay. Help me with this.
-I'm fine. Really. Okay?

[Adriana sighs]

[Maca] What?

-[Adriana] Shh. Come on.
-[Jime] Real pants.

Come on. Here.

-[Maca] Can't we sleep for a little while?
-[Adriana and Jime] No.

[Jime] No. You will feel better.
Let's get breakfast.

That's it.

[indistinct chatter]

Excuse me.

-Carbs are good. Carbs are the best.
-Oh.

[Jime] I put a hex on him
so he goes back to Boston.

-And made sure he got crabs.
-I'm so okay.

Girls, I'm fine.

-[cell phone chimes]
-[Maca screaming on phone]

You sent me this at four in the morning.

Oh, and wait for the one
you sent an hour later.

Okay, okay.

It hasn't been my best night. [chuckles]

Leo…

Leo was an important person in my life,
and the origin of some of my problems.

Thank you.

Your problems?

Okay. He's been
my fucking romantic trauma.

Now I see things
in a completely different light.

I understand what I've been going through.

I know this was society's fault.

They're the ones who got us girls
to believe in fairy tales.

You do seem better this time.

[chuckles]

Someone who hurt me
and didn't even apologize…

It's just a bunch of bullshit.

I'm on the way to feeling more empowered.
This doesn't mean anything.

Nothing.

How was his body?

Still has the ass of a hunter-gatherer?

What? You help by comforting her.
I help by saying shit's gonna hit the fan.

Jime, I'm the new Maca.

I'm Maca 2.0.

Yeah?

[Adriana] You know Maca 2.0
needs a shower, right?

Okay. You got a point there.

Well,

bye, girls.

-Now take care.
-Take a shower.

-Thanks.
-[Jime laughs] Such a bitch.

-Ciao, Maca.
-Ciao.

You believed her about Leo?

She had 12 churros
and a cup of hot chocolate. She's fine.

Seriously? You actually fell for that?

-Adriana, please.
-Jime--

There is no Maca 2.0.

Listen. People can change for the better.

-I see.
-Yeah.

Let's see if you surprise us
and start having sex with your husband.

Hmm. And you?
Have you thought about seeing a shrink?

[Jime] It's an emergency.

My back's out.

-So painful.
-[receptionist] You have an appointment?

Uh… No. No, no, no. Not really.

I woke up in pain just this morning.

I need to have a check by the guy
that just came in.

-Samuel?
-Yep.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Samuel.

Yep, Sammy.

But are you one of his patients?
A relative? A friend?

Uh… No. No. Not yet. Not yet. No.

You'll have to call for an appointment.
There's no emergency service here.

Please. It's very important.

-We're all booked up--
-Samuel!

I need you to check my lower back.

So painful.

I can barely walk, jog, or do anything.

Wait a sec. Wait a sec.
Did you call ahead?

Not at all. I mean, she just walked in.

Marta, write down her contact info
and arrange an appointment this week.

-How's that sound?
-[screams] Ow!

[Samuel] Hey. Hey. Easy. Easy.

I can have a quick look, I suppose. Okay?

-Okay.
-[Samuel] All right?

If Mr. Luis arrives,
please ask him to wait a few minutes.

Okay.

Let's see. You'll have to explain
your problem better

because I didn't get it.

Okay. Well, I'd say that my…
my whole back hurts.

-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
-Entirely.

From this spot down to here.

-Especially here. Oof!
-Mm-hmm.

Right in here. Here it… it hurts the most.
I can barely sit down now.

-Okay.
-Right here. My ass.

Uh, it's your sacrum, then? Okay.

Sacrum, ass, yep.

Let's take a look.

Okay. [clears throat]

[breathes deeply]

-Can I ask you something?
-Mm-hmm.

Would you say that the name Santi Asenjo…

-Does that mean anything to you?
-Who?

Of course, when someone reincarnates,

they're not aware
they've been reincarnated.

[laughs] I don't know
what you're talking about.

All right. Let me see something.

If I press on this spot, does it hurt?

Because you're not complaining as much.

Oh. Let's see.

-Ooh!
-Hurts?

-Oof!
-So bad.

-Okay.
-Yeah. [clears throat]

Anyway, even though you don't remember,
I'm sure you like the same things.

You may recall the sword of Aragorn
in the battle of Morannon.

"I bid you stand, Men of the East!"

-Okay. Right now I need you to breathe in.
-Yeah. Okay.

[sniffs slowly]

And breathe out.

-[back crack]
-Ow! Fuck!

Ow.

Okay. I'm out of time, but tell Marta
to make an appointment this week

because your back's a real mess.

-Oh, sure. Okay.
-All right?

Oh, and it's,
"I bid you stand, Men of the West."

-[chuckles]
-[Samuel] Great.

I knew it.

Hello. May I help you with something?

How may I help you?

No. How may I help you?

[chuckles] What do you need?

Any problem with my heels?

No. No, no, no. Don't get confused.

It's you who shouldn't get confused,
honey. I can see how you're judging me.

[Maca] No. No, no. Not at all.
I've always admired people who wear heels.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm sure you'll say
you have lots of friends who are gay.

Actually, a lot of my friends are gay.
Excuse me.

Hmm. How typically progressive.

Pipa, a new assistant?

You need to be taken down a notch.

I simply set my conditions.

This isn't Lavapiés,

and in this neighborhood,
it's exactly the opposite.

Besides, Luigi really values
this opportunity.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

An intern?

Any pay?

I'm paid in love.

Do you know about trip planning,

agenda management, brand contacting,

social media management,
positioning tricks, statistics,

long-term planning, photography?

Well, yeah.

[chuckles wryly]

This is super-important.

Double-sided tape,
super-important, especially with Pipa.

And your name was?

[keyboard clacking]

[Adriana] Here's your dress.

You will look gorgeous. You'll see.

If you need anything, call me.

Listen, um…

I was thinking.
Have you tried fucking in public places?

[laughs] In public? I mean…

we've tried some tantra, role-playing,

that thing with choking.

The other day, we pretended
we didn't know each other at a bar.

-And did it work?
-Mm…

-What about a threesome?
-Are you serious?

Why not? It could be a good incentive.

But what if he falls for the girl?

Or would it be with a guy?

Hey. What if he falls for the guy?

[woman screams]

[woman sobbing]

[Adriana] What's wrong?

Look. Look at this.

Let's see. Don't panic. Let's take a look.

But my wedding is this Saturday.
[breath trembling]

I've been on a strict diet.
I don't understand.

It's because you're nervous. Don't worry.

Well, now I'm more nervous than ever!

So what's happening?

I need to lose five fucking pounds
and I'm getting married in four days.

Well, honestly,
I think you look completely stunning.

Seriously. And your fiancé
won't really care about five pounds.

[woman] Ugh!

Or does it matter?

-You think it matters?
-[sobbing] Mm-hmm.

Let me tell you. If it matters to him
about just five pounds,

that's a bad start for you.

Why?

What'll happen
when you start getting your wrinkles?

Or when your body doesn't get back
to what it used to be after a baby?

If that's the case,
then I would say the boy's not worth it.

It's better to realize that now
than after you're married.

You aren't the one here with the problem.
The problem is the guy.

What?

It's better to be on your own than--

Maca! It's better… it's better
if we continue our conversation later.

No, no, no, no, no.
Don't worry. Don't worry.

We'll go to the dressmaker's today
and we'll fix it up in a couple of hours.

-You'll look stunning. I promise you.
-[woman] No. No.

[cell phone chimes]

WANNA FCK?

[breathing heavily]

-Maca.
-Huh?

-Why don't we go to my house?
-Hmm? No.

-Banging in here makes my muscles cramp.
-No.

Your place is such a mess,
and I always end up cleaning.

That's your excuse?

-Maca.
-What?

Emotionally, are we not in the same place?

[laughs]

-Sure we are.
-Maybe you're starting to have feelings.

-What is this?
-No? Okay.

[Raquel] Maca, babe. How are you?

Look. The opening
of my eco-art exhibition is this Saturday.

And, babe, the media will be there,

along with a lot of people
from the industry.

People who would
be interested in hiring you.

Besides, I'd love to see you there.

Come on. Give it a shot.

I really think you're ready
to leave Pipa behind.

I'll wait to hear from you. Kisses.

CRAPPY DECISION

[jazzy EDM music playing]

[Maca] We have to go.

In this situation,

if my priority is my career,
what choice is there?

It's important to do that.

No way. No way. No way.
This is a bad idea. Leo's gonna be there.

I need to have complete access
to all of Raquel's contacts.

You're the one with all the maturity,
who must also understand

that it would be a catastrophe.

There is life
beyond Raquel's contacts, so-called.

Maturity? [scoffs] I could never really
focus on myself.

My life used to revolve around Leo.

And now I'm still taking him into account
when making all my decisions.

-Wait. Wait. How do you… how do you--?

Hey. You guys know each other?

[both] Yeah.

Yes. We were--

We dated for a bit, way back when, but…
Years ago.

[Raquel chuckles] Wow.
I'll have to question you about him, then.

Uh, no. That won't help.
I'm sure she barely remembers me.

-Hmm?

-In… in Chamberí.

-[chuckles] Wow.
-What?

-That's kinda pricey for a teacher.
-I've been granted tenure.

I'm glad that all these years of your life
has been a straight road to success.

No obstacles.

Is it possible
that you're being a bit sarcastic?

That's silly. I've grown up as well.

Really? I don't think so, Maca.

Your eyes tell me
you're stuck in the same place.

You're the one who's stuck in place.

A place where a guy fucks up,

never apologizes, time passes,
and we're all friends again, right?

Maca, it's been years.

You need to get over it.

What do you want me to say?
That I'm a moron?

Okay. Then I'm a moron,
and I always will be. You happy?

[indistinct chatter]

You know what you are?
A little fucking coward.

[woman] Oh!

He's very cute, isn't he? Leo.

Yes. He's very cute.
Did you get to know him well?

No. We were only together
five years or so.

Five years? But didn't he say that…?

I know. But Leo is a free spirit.
He says one thing and does another.

Uh, what do you mean?

Let's get this straight.
I wanna ruin this man's life

because it isn't fair that things
go so well for scum like this douche.

But I also want to save her.

Wouldn't you say "look out"
to someone who's about to fall in a well?

That's what I'm doing, 'cause I wish
someone gave me a spoiler back then.

Sisterhood.

Well,

he smashed my heart against the floor,

he danced on it, and then trampled
all over it until he pulverized it.

[sighs] Uh, but what happened, Maca?

He's the worst piece of shit
that ever lived.

He discarded me like trash
and destroyed my future.

I'll leave you with this, Raquel.

Run away. Run away and never look back.

Ooh. Gotta go. Look at what time it is.

[footsteps receding]

You okay?

How did your week go, Jimena?

Not bad. Not bad.

I managed to get the first encyclopedia
about the paranormal to my publisher.

That's great to hear,

but I was actually asking about the pain
you've been having in your back.

Ah. My back.

-Mm-hmm.
-Bad. Really bad.

Oh.

Okay.

Turn your head to the right for me.

Okay. Now to the left.

Okay.

What do you think of love?

[chuckles] What kind of question is that?

I don't know. It seems normal to me.

A normal question
for your psychologist or a friend,

but not your physiotherapist.

-You know what the problem is?
-Tell me.

I do happen to have
an annoying pain in my back.

-Mm-hmm.
-But what I'd really like is to…

to maybe have a drink with you.

The problem is,
I don't date my clients, Jimena.

Samuel, we get along really well.

Yeah. That's true.

What do you think?

A drink. It might be weird
if you and I went out.

Why? It'd just be a drink.
A quick drink. Yeah?

-A quick drink?
-Sure.

-Okay. That does sound good.
-Of course it sounds good.

It sounds good. Be a quick drink.

[Jimena grunts]

A quick drink and after that…

-After that, then we'll see.
-Right.

For sure.

[Jimena breathing heavily, moaning]

[laughs] Don't laugh at me,
but I could really use some Nesquik.

[Samuel moans]

-[wine pouring]
-[glass clanking]

[all chuckling]

Well… [chuckles]

…a toast?

[Julián laughs]

-Here's to tonight.
-Here's to tonight.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Come on.

SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES

-[Leo] Good morning.
-[class] Good morning.

Okay. Without further ado,
I'm assigning you a paper.

-[class groaning]
-[Leo] Yes. Yes. Yes.

I want you to reflect on the amour fou.

-[boy] What?
-Love induced madness.

You mean falling for someone big time?

[Leo] Yes. Exactly.

Or not being able to distinguish
between expectations and reality.

The authors from this century
would describe a woman's idea of love

as agonizing.

Love could even be considered
a form of mental illness.

Maybe they're right.

Honestly, I was expecting you
to have way more sensitivity

being a literature professor.

[class] Oh!

What the… [clears throat]

What did you say?

I mean, you read and analyze everything,

but it seems like you can't understand
basic human emotions.

[class murmurs]

Excuse me, miss, but this isn't a debate
about my emotional abilities.

No. Of course we can't debate

about something
that clearly doesn't exist.

[Leo] Hold on. Hold on.

No. I'm talking about a specific moment
of 19th-century literature.

By saying that women
have this amour fou. Right?

And not clarifying it isn't intrinsic
to them without context either.

[boy] You're right.

That's what they wrote.

Let me remind you that this
is a literature class, not history.

Okay. Well, you should consider
a much more critical format.

-[boy] Yeah.
-[girl] It's true.

-[girl] It's true.
-[boy] You know. She's got a point.

Why are you in my class?

[chuckles] Check your roster.
I'm auditing.

Hmm. No. Don't worry about it.

Let's be clear. This has nothing to do
with my personal opinion.

In fact, I am… I'm a feminist,
and I totally stand for gender equality.

-[class murmuring, laughing]
-Yeah, though?

Come on, man. What is this BS?

[boy] That's right.

[Maca] If you're pointing out
a way of explaining love

that is more detrimental for women,
we need to criticize it

since that has brought us
to where we are now.

We're confused and we're carrying
the weight of an impossible construct.

[class] Yeah! Whoo!

[girl] That's right. Uh-huh.

[Leo] Hold on. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

Can you please explain to me
how the way I explain a literary period

is related to the problems
you face nowadays?

The romantic pressure is a narrative

that makes us believe we need
the first charming asshole we come across.

-[Maca] Yes! Yes! Yes!
-[class applauding]

Hey! But don't worry
because it's less common now. Right?

I'm sure whoever you're with

will quickly see your true self
and leave you.

[class] Oh. Whoo! Whoo!

And fuck that paper you want us to do.

Tell him, "Fuck that!"

Hey! But we can't just stop here.

Let's visit the director of studies

to protest
against this intolerable sexism.

Get your testosterone
out of our brains, asshole.

[class chanting] Fuck testosterone!
Fuck testosterone!

Very well.

[class] Fuck testosterone!
Fuck testosterone!

-[class booing]
-[chanting] Fuck testosterone!

Okay. Do whatever you want.

Let me remind you
that if you leave before class ends,

you'll be marked absent,
and attendance is part of your grade.

[breathes deeply]

Will you tell me
what the hell you're doing?

First, you tell Raquel so many lies
about me that she no longer trusts me.

You ain't seen nothing yet.

And now… now you turn my students
against me. For what?

What about the flowers?
That was a dick move, and you know it.

Right. The flower delivery…

-[Maca chuckles]
-Look. Maca, we need to stop this.

It's… it's absurd. I mean… Right?
We can't go on like this.

Besides, at our age--

I can't stand it
when you talk down to me like that.

Like it's my fault
that I suffered after our breakup,

or that I loved you so much.

I wish that I hadn't.

[sighs deeply]

You could try to understand.

But never mind.

I shouldn't care anymore.

But you do, Maca.

And I care about it too.

Because, in the end, only the two of us
know what we feel for each other.

Used to feel, Leo. Don't forget that.

Maca, you drive me crazy, but…

[breathes deeply]

…I still wanna kiss you.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.

You wanna kiss me too, right?

I could feel it.

You're so conceited and insufferable.

Stop screwing with me.

I'd love to screw you right here, Maca.

Right on the table.

Of course you'd like that.

You'd love it.

Because you've missed me.
I'm sure of that, Leo.

You're so close that I can smell you.

[Maca moans]

[emotional music playing]

[objects on desk clatter]

Now we're even.

Huh?

Two, two.

[Leo] Huh.

[breath trembles] I hate you.

Hey. Hey. Maca, don't be like that.
Come on.

That's the game, right?

[chuckles] You made a fool of me
in front of my class.

It's not the same at all.

Maca.

Are you sure you didn't make any mistakes?

I'm seeing too much time booked for meals.

Do it however you want,
but you need to fix this schedule. Okay?

[Maca exhales sharply]

Here I go.

Hey, Pipa, um,
what happened the other day at the last…

-[passengers shouting]
-…at the last event with my shoes.

What are you talking about?

Well, I just think
that you owe me a bit more respect,

and you shouldn't show me up
in front of your friends.

-Did I do that?
-Yeah.

And my patience
isn't a bottomless well. You know?

Yeah. Well, life can be hard.
That's for sure.

Okay.

-[airplane shuddering]
-[passengers shouting]

-[Pipa] Maca, what's happening?
-Just some turbulence. Relax.

-Maca, will you please go ask.
-Okay.

-You have to remain seated.
-[Maca] Sorry.

-Oh God.
-[Maca] You okay?

I don't wanna die.
I don't wanna die. I don't wanna die.

Ugh. I can't put this on.

[woman screams]

Oh, Maca, I'm scared.

How do you think
they'll remember me if I die?

I wanna be a role model.
I wanna be a role model.

Inhale. Exhale.

Maca, you need to film this moment.
Come on. Film me.

Let me mess up my hair a little.
It should look a bit shocking.

-[Pipa] How's that?
-Yeah.

Hello! We are on a plane
that just might crash.

Something may happen.
So if anything happens,

I just want you to know I love you
and that my last thoughts are of you.

And you can upload a video
with #WeAreAllPipa.

That's it. We're all Pipa! Whoo!

-Done?
-Yes.

This is lasting too long.

Oh, Maca, I'm scared.
I'm scared. I'm scared.

to remain seated and seat belts

-[man] Ma'am? Ma'am. Excuse… Ma'am!
-[woman talking hysterically]

What is this? Why are you here?

[chuckles] We are going down fast, eh?

These may be your last minutes,
and you were thinking about me.

Not your parents, not Jime,

Adriana, or even peace
in the world. Just me.

Lately, all I can think about
is how much I hate you.

I don't know.
Seems like you just think of me.

Can I grant you a final wish?

Should we kiss? Or… or if you want,
we can go fuck in the bathroom.

Hmm. Whatever you want.

[indistinct chatter]

[Leo knocking on door] Hey. Wait.

Maca, open up!

[knocking continues]

[Leo] Maca!

[knocking on door]

Don't look at me like that.
He deserves it.

[knocking intensifies]

[intercom beeps]

Jeez. You've been acting
really creepy lately.

Post my video when we land. Got it?

-[Adriana] All right. Did you land okay?
-Yes. Yes. It was just a bad scare.

It was an out-of-body experience.

You hyperventilated.

The important thing is I locked him away.

He's gone.

See, that's the problem.
You locked him up, but he's in your mind.

You should've thrown him
out of the plane instead.

What happened the last time you met?

Whatever.

It was the last time.

Here's to the last time!

-To the last time!
-To the last time!

Mm. What about you guys? What's new?

What about you?
How's life after the three-way?

What? Fine. No big deal.

No big deal? Really?

I mean, you try pussy for the first time,
and that's all you say?

-Jime…
-What? I think it's totally outrageous.

-Well, I won't go into details.
-[Maca and Jime] You will!

No.

So I'm sure the hot girl
was nothing special.

What about Julián?

[woman moans]

[Adriana breathing heavily]

[moaning]

Whoa.

It's like, um…

like we're re-activating.

It's simple as that.

These trivial games have been good for us

because that's all
they really were, to me.

[Maca] Well, I'm surprised.

I mean, I thought you'd had enough
of Julián and you two were done.

-Of Julián?
-Yeah.

You guys, Julián is my partner.

Getting a divorce
would be the last thing I want.

Throwing away everything we've built,
start renting again,

taking selfies for Tinder.

[Jime laughs]

[Adriana] No, thanks.

Hey. Your masseuse?

It didn't work out.

-Really?
-You were great together.

Yeah.

Something happened that was kinda creepy.

Jime.

You will never guess
what one of my patients just gave me.

[laughs] Isn't he cute?
You can name him if you want.

You broke up with him
because he likes hamsters?

He really likes them. Crazy for them.

It's the first relationship you've had
that's lasted more than a month.

And the sex was great.

Yeah. But…

he really likes hamsters, you guys.

Loves them.

Girl, it's obvious he wasn't Santi.

I have to keep searching. That's all.

I gotta pee.

[door opens]

I think she went to go cry.

She keeps going like this,
she'll die alone.

Or not.

[doorbell rings]

Good afternoon. Jimena?

Yeah.

Can I come in?

[Maca] This will get you started.

I'm not sure
if I can pretend to be someone else.

And what do actors do?

Re-tweet lost dog posts
and give up gluten?

Besides, in your ad,
you say you like challenges.

Yeah. I meant, like, I don't know,
pretending that I'm disabled or Norwegian.

What you're asking me to do
is freaking crazy.

Oh yeah. Um, Santi broke his wrist
three times skating.

-Yeah.
-Would that work for you?

But why would she believe any of this?

Well, logic and Jime have been
in a complicated relationship

for 15 years.

She'll believe you're Santi.
Then you'll say goodbye to her forever.

Um, you'll liberate her.

And you'll help a wonderful cause.

Actors like to do that stuff. Don't they?

Yeah. But what if she asks me something
that hasn't been written down?

Improvise.

And you know that being an actor
is really going to help you.

It'll be super easy.

You have two dates
and then you'll be all done.

Well? What is this gonna cost?

Oh man. I really hate eggnog.

Well, it's absolutely essential
that you like eggnog.

Well then, the eggnog will cost extra.

My favorite is the second one.

Well, my favorite is the last one.

I know most people love The Two Towers,

but I just watched them, like,
20 times lately, and now I'm sure of it.

Hey, you never used to care about Tolkien.

My tastes have completely changed.
It's incredible.

And since when?

Um, I don't know.
I'd say about two months or so.

The powder.

And then your name just started popping
into my head, like, all the time.

"Jime Herrera. Jime Herrera."
So, I had to find you.

You must think I'm crazy.

-[tutting] Oh my God. No.
-Mm.

And what happened to your wrist?

Oh yeah. That.

I mean, the thing is that all of a sudden
I felt the need to hop on a skateboard.

I bought one and look what happened.
Triple fracture.

Can I ask you something else?

Yeah. Sure.

A band, a city, a type of cheese,

an animal you hate,
and an episode of The Simpsons.

Wow. Okay.

Um… Let's see.

A band? Slipknot.

Uh, Edinburgh.

Emmental.

-Um, the Pinchy episode of The Simpsons.
-Love that one!

And… Oh, and fucking rodents. I hate them.

Where the hell did they hide you?

[cell phone chimes]

[indistinct chatter]

I FOUND HIM. HE'S SANTI!

[Leo] Maca.

Maca.

I just want to apologize.

Not just for what happened
in my office, but…

for everything else.

I mean, I left with no explanation.

It was all wrong.

Wrong and…

and I'm really sorry because I didn't mean
to hurt you. I swear.

You seemed pretty convinced
of your decision.

No.

No, Maca, it was really hard for me

to live my life without having you
always by my side, driving me crazy.

I'm so sorry.

[emotional music playing]

I really mean it.

Could we be friends?

Okay.

[doorbell rings]

What are you doing?

Complicating my life.

["Dancing to the Radio"
by Adanowsky playing]

[Maca] I got to have
a say on the guest list,

so, naturally Raquel was invited.

I even added a plus-one for her.

But, of course, I hope it isn't Leo.

Even though he apologized to me,
I really don't wanna see him right now.

[Pipa] Maca!

Maca, call Mateo.
My ponytail's coming undone.

-Do you want me to fix it?
-No. Call Mateo.

Got it. I'll call him.

Mateo, Mateo, Mateo.

[Raquel] Maca!

-[Maca] Hey. Hi.
-Is this your bag now?

It was a gift from Pipa. From Milan.

She felt bad about the other event.
She's not so bad.

Sweetheart, I was there
when they gave it to her.

She said she didn't want it

because it had been touched
by too many people.

[scoffs]

It's just… the stress
just makes me want to lose it.

No. It's okay.

Raquel, I'm… I'm really sorry
for what I said the other day about Leo.

Um, it's no problem.

The truth is, we've made an effort
to improve our communication,

and it's actually working.

I'm glad.

Why don't we all go out to dinner?

-No.
-Yeah. We can consider it a new beginning.

Is it time to act like a grown-up?

-Of course.
-Or bring a date if you like.

Well, I'll tell my boyfriend.

-Oh.
-[Maca] I have to call the hairdresser.

It's for Pipa.

See you around.

-Okay. Ciao.
-[Maca] Ciao.

You can't run away from him all your life.

He apologized, you've calmed down,
you haven't lost it.

You can be friends with a guy.

Friends? What are you saying?

That's all I need to hear.

Now we're gonna be friends with Leo? Ugh.

CRAPPY DECISION

[crowd applauding]

-[man] You drink a lot, huh?
-[Jime] Sure. For years.

Okay. Yeah.

[cell phone chimes]

WHY WON'T U RESPOND?

ARE YOU MAD AT ME?
DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG?

Hey. Would you like to go
to an exhibition on Friday?

The Reina Sofía museum
has an interesting one

that I've been meaning to see
before it leaves.

Uh… Yeah. I don't know.

I was thinking I'd come back here.

-To the skate park?
-Sure.

But neither of us has any idea
what we're doing on a skateboard.

Pfft. Sure. But I just like being
around here with these guys.

Santi loved to do that.

Besides, I thought I'd buy some good weed
and get nice buzz. Know what I mean?

Oof. Joints don't go well
with me anymore, Jorge.

Ah.

Maca.

What the fuck are you wearing?

[Maca sighs]

Remember, we love each other
and we're happy.

We're moving in together,
and you are very intelligent.

Okay.

We are looking for an apartment
around La Latina or Barrio de las Letras.

[Raquel] Mm, I love those neighborhoods.

But we are thinking
about moving to the countryside.

I mean, aren't we?

-Yep.
-[Maca] The countryside?

But Leo wears repellent every time
he goes past the city limits.

I'd say it's about time he made friends
with the earth mother. Right?

-He'll reconnect with the earth mother.
-Earth mother.

You really should.

The truth is that the air quality
in the city's unbearable.

[Raquel] Hmm.
Well, then if you're moving to La Latina…

[Leo] Thank you.

-[Maca] Mm.
-Mm. I take my lead from Maca.

Um… So, Coque, what do you do, exactly?

Aside from getting really nice tattoos.

Thank you. Well, a bit of everything.

DJ, podcasts, monologues…

-Monologues?
-[Coque] Yes.

Apartment prices
really have plummeted downtown, huh?

And what are your monologues about?

-Raquel, how's the urban garden project?
-Wait. Don't tell me. Don't tell me.

About millennial fucking.

You've been to one?

It's cool you do so many things, Coque.

[Leo] Indeed. And they say
there are no entrepreneurs anymore.

-A toast.
-You sound like an old man.

[Coque] Salud.

I am an old man, in spirit.

I know. I know.

You've been wearing smoking jackets
at home since you were ten, right?

That's crazy.

-[Leo chuckles]
-Really freaking crazy.

-I'm sure you still wear them.
-No. Do you know what's crazy?

What's crazy is that we don't know
where my smoking jacket is

because it disappeared, mysteriously.

Um…

No. You can finally confess.
It's been a while.

-No. It…
-Where's the jacket?

Oh, don't ask me.
It must be in the same place as…

Now wait a minute.

Oh, that thing.

-Yeah.
-[Leo] I totally forgot! Are you for real?

-No. Not there.
-[Leo] In the same place?

Yes. Yes.

-[Maca laughing] No.
-[Leo] Yes.

Do you know why I thought you hid it?

Do you remember the day your mom
brought the lasagna, I think it was?

-It had meat in it?
-What… what about the urban gardens?

I'm really interested in all that, Raquel.

Because we both want
an apartment with a balcony.

It's important. A balcony.

[Leo] I don't know. I didn't, uh,
think it'd be someone like him.

[Maca] You can't judge a book
by its cover.

-Yeah.
-Raquel liked him.

Because Raquel is charming with everyone.

-So is it true you're moving in together?
-Why wouldn't it be?

I don't know, Maca. I don't… I don't know
if he's the right one for you.

And who is the right one for me?

[Raquel] Oh, DJ. So interesting.

That's great. Yeah. Please let us know.

Hey.

-Shall we go?
-Yeah. Let's go.

-We should do this again sometime. Yeah?
-[Leo] Yes. Well…

-[Raquel] Soon?
-[Leo] Soon.

-[Maca] Yeah.
-Oh yeah.

-Ciao.
-Ciao.

-[Coque] It went well, right?
-[Maca] You want a drink?

[cell phone chimes]

Hey, Adriana. Let's grab some lunch.

I'm mixed up about Leo.
Well, I mean… I'm not saying…

What I mean is I need to talk to you,
and you're the most sensible of us.

I'll come by your shop
and we'll talk, okay? Later.

[indistinct chatter]

[upbeat jazz music playing]

[Adriana] You see?

Come on.

[Pipa] Maca!

-Stunning.
-[Pipa] Hmm?

Before leaving, remember
to organize my bags too. Okay?

I have to go. I have a date.

If you hurry up,
you'll finish before eight today.

-Okay. Have fun.
-Thanks, darling.

[cell phone chimes]

MACA, I'M PASSING YOUR CV AROUND.

I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.

Hey there.

How do you know where I work?

Well, I did some research.

Wow.

I'm sorry.

Lately, he can't stop with the apologies.

I like it, okay?

How about dinner?

With Raquel?

As in, "I want her to come along."

No. It's just, the thing is,

I'm writing an academic article
on love in contemporary literature, and…

and I'd love for you
to give me your opinion.

It has to be quick.

-At the bar, okay?
-Okay.

[Maca] Generally speaking, I like it,
but… I don't know. Something is missing.

Like what?

You need to, um,
connect yourself emotionally.

There's only theory and analysis
of these stories,

but it's from a distance.

I see.

So what, then?

Look all around you,
not just in the pages of a book.

All around me?

Yeah. At the people everywhere.

At your own memories. At your experiences.

You know that observing my reality
and reflecting on it

is a little bit hard for me.

[Leo chuckles]

Hey, should we eat something?

She's not replying to my texts either.

Pipa must have her hooks in her again.

I'm sure that's true.

So how are you?

Oh, pretty good.

Or not.

Actually, I'm super great. Yeah.

Or even greater than super great.

Seriously?

Santi number two is…

I don't have words for how great he is.

Oh, but, uh… [chuckles]
He's still with you?

Yeah. Of course.

I spent forever looking for him.
Anyway, we better go.

JORGE, YOU DIDN'T BREAK UP WITH HER YET?

NO

WHY?

I LOVE HER!

He's my man. Like Julián's yours.

[chuckles nervously] Hmm.

-Jime.
-Yeah?

I have a 50% discount
on wedding dresses, if you want.

-Interested?
-There's a plan.

-Right?
-We'll throw a wedding party

before you know it, right?

-[Jime] Come on. Let's go.
-Okay.

My God.

[Leo laughing]

-[Maca] It's weird.
-What is?

You're the same,
but you've also changed a lot.

How so?

I guess you're more mature.

[chuckles]

I don't know.
I feel like it would be different now.

Don't get me wrong.
I'm not insinuating anything.

Oh yeah. Yeah.

The thing is, Raquel's happy,
and you look so serene,

that I don't identify it
with what we were at all.

Maca, what we had, you and me,
was really special.

We were happy too. Remember?

I don't know. At least I have
good memories from back then.

Yeah.

[emotional music playing]

I want you to think about what we had as…
as an amazing time, Maca.

I know we went through a lot of hardship,
but it was incredible.

And it has helped us
become who we are today.

I don't know who I am.

You're a fantastic woman,

and a smoking jacket thief,

stubborn,

someone who's able
to start a riot in my own class…

whose eyes are amazing.

But mostly really stubborn.

[inaudible]

Check out this house.

It has water recycling,
a vegetable garden, solar panels.

[inhales deeply] I love it.

[sighs deeply]

Jime, I need to tell you something.

It's a message from Santi.

Jime, I have a message for you.

-[Jime] From Santi?
-[Jorge] Yeah.

Um… Well, I'm getting…

that you are amazing,
and I enjoy spending time with you.

I mean, we get each other.
Don't you believe it's true?

-Don't we laugh together?
-Totally.

It's his sense of humor
that connected me the most to Santi.

-But… but I'm funny too. Don't you think?
-I mean, to me.

[both laugh]

Listen to this.

and things that are,

things that yet may be.

That's it. That's it.

[ducks quacking]

[Adriana sighs]

I'm so happy with you.

I feel the same.

[woman] But you can't go on
like this, Adriana.

Yeah, I know.

I think about it all day.

Me too.

I have to go.

[Leo] Hey.

Hey.

It wasn't your fault.

This thing with Raquel
wasn't going anywhere.

It's not your fault, but…

Maca, I haven't stopped thinking about you
since I saw you again.

If this was a romantic comedy,

it would start pouring rain
right this minute.

[thunder rumbles]

Maca, I'm sorry. I didn't…

I didn't plan this.

I know I'm an asshole and I deserve it.

You have every right to be pissed at me.

If you were the one who left,
I would still be lost without you.

You're right. I'm a jerk.

I'm an insufferable prick
who screwed up someone's life

and I can't even apologize for it.

Yes. It's true, Maca.

I think no one's good enough for you

because I love you.

I love you.

Fine. If this really were
a romantic comedy for sure,

I would've jumped into his arms already.

Because I only exist when you see me.

-No, don't tell me that.
-I'm telling the truth.

You exist even if I'm blind.

See?

You still exist. Don't you?

-Yes. Keep it.

You're serious?

Yes! I'll only be able to wear it
for a little while anyway, because--

Come on. What's with the complexes?

Girls, I need to tell you something.

I've been saying
my life needed a change of some kind.

Adriana, look. The most important step
is to accept it.

We won't have any issues with it.
No matter what.

What's happening?

Julián and I have decided
to take the next step.

We are trying to have a baby.

I'm Clément Dubois, the editor.

Yes. Hello. Good evening.

-I assume you've heard of Good Mode.
-Yes.

[Clément] Uh, Raquel sent us your resume

and gave us
really good references for you.

To tell you the truth,
we really like your profile.

Amazing.

[Clément] We're looking for someone new

to head up
the magazine's new media strategy,

with lots of experience in social media,
and we thought of you.

Would you be at all interested?

Thank you so much.
You… you won't regret this.

I mean, I'll do my absolute best.

[Clément] You'd be joining
our communications department.

I should tell you that this position
is based in Paris, uh, not in Madrid.

Have you ever been to Paris?

Paris? Yes.

Uh… Je t'aime beaucoup.

J'adore Paris. La Tour Eiffel,

Oh, le croissant!

[Clément] Superb. We would need you
to start immediately.

Do you think you can give us an answer

In two weeks. Oui.

Okay. Enough. I'm going.

No, Adriana.

Adriana!

Girl, he left you all broken.
He is your kryptonite.

Maca!

You left us for that guy. You know that.

Maca, I get it now. That's why you put up
with this shit from Pipa.

Because whenever he appears,
nothing else matters.

You gotta cut this out.

-I saw you guys, and you looked happy.

You were glowing. And now
you're gonna go have a kid with Julián?

Huh?

'Cause I'm not Santi.

Your friends paid me to pretend
to be him and then say goodbye to you.

S-So you could finally let Santi go.

Then I started having feelings for you.
I'm sorry, but I didn't wanna lie to you.

Why don't you mention the scholarship?
