A NETFLIX SERIES

Pineapple juice for my girl, right?

Anything else? All good?

I'll take the empties. There we go.

Folks! Two G&Ts over here,

lovingly prepared by Vero.

Anything else? Two more G&Ts, right? Here we go.

-Álex, five shots, please! -Yes.

Sure. Excuse me. Sorry.

Okay. Here.

Jeez. Two more G&Ts for that table, for the girls.

-Got it. -Like the others.

-Which table? -Table two.

Okay. This is for the girl in red?

-The girl in red. Go on, hurry. - I'm going. Watch out. Excuse me.

Five minutes until the countdown

We take stock of the good and bad

Bon appétit!

Five minutes before the countdown

Sailors, soldiers, bachelors, married men

Lovers, wanderers

And the occasional

Clueless priest

Among shouts and whistles, we Spaniards

The tall, the short

We, for once, do

Something at the same time

One hour until the new year, bitches!

Are you ready?

-Where are you? -Leaving my parents' now.

-Have you seen the time? -There's plenty of time.

I'll meet you at the bar.

No.

-I don't want to show up alone. -Don't be silly.

We'll be late if I pick you up.

We could just celebrate New Year's here together, right?

What? No! It'll look bad if we don't go.

No one will miss us.

Álex invited us specifically, right?

Yes, but maybe it was a group message.

Even if it was,

he went through his contacts.

When he got to you, he consciously decided to invite us.

-When you put it like that... -We should take a gift to thank him.

Bit late for that.

Got anything you can wrap quickly?

-A bottle of wine or... -I'm not taking wine to a bar.

It doesn't cost anything to look good.

I'm getting on my bike. See you in 30 minutes.

-Okay? Right, bye. -Okay, bye.

No.

I'm going to have a shot with my daughter, the Valkyrie. Tequila!

-Anything else? -Yes, my love.

-Some more cava. -Have you drunk the entire bottle already?

-It was her. I had a tiny drop. -More like huge, like your ass.

I'll bring some food and water, okay?

Could you take some food to my mom?

-Sure. -Thanks.

-Two soda waters. -Okay.

What's up?

We shouldn't have done extra invites.

People don't RSVP, but they all show up.

-Take this to table seven. -Okay, got it.

You bitch!

Can you tell Her Majesty to stop fluttering and help me?

-Of course, my darling. -Go.

My ass is not on the menu.

-Keena, help the bar. -Coming.

I'm coming.

I love it when he acts like a sergeant. I'll need to get him a uniform.

Oh, Montse!

-Shots, please. -You don't need to repeat it.

I'll bring them when I can, man.

-I'm sorry. -Hey.

-Didn't mean to interrupt. -It's okay.

We were already done.

Happy New Year.

-You too. -Hey...

How is it going?

You can see we're pretty busy.

Yeah, I can see. I'm glad.

-Are you alone? -Yes.

No, Ramón is on his way.

-My bird! -Okay.

-Yes! I'm coming. -Well...

Sorry, it's... Enjoy the party.

-Okay... Wait! -What?

This is yours.

Something to thank you for the invitation, from both of us.

You didn't have to.

Right. Maybe it's a bit weird.

Look, I'll take it back.

-No, well, now you've brought it. -It's silly.

No, I want it.

Álex!

Coming!

Put it backstage, behind that curtain on the right.

-I'll open it when I can. -Okay.

-Okay? -Yes, great.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Excuse me.

Oops, sorry.

PATRI 12 MISSED CALLS

Núria?

Bruno! What are you doing here?

Why are you here? This is a gay bar.

I was bored at home.

I thought I'd spend New Year's heating up Roquefort sauce.

Right.

-Albert? -At home with the kids.

They wanted to go to Sardinia but stayed home.

You'll need to hurry to make it.

It's okay.

Missing the grapes once won't kill us.

Are you sure? New Year's has always been really special to you.

We'll have to get used to doing things separately.

What do you mean?

You haven't spoken to him?

I know he doesn't want to go back to the firm.

I didn't know he was so overwhelmed.

Yeah. The job isn't the only problem, Bruno.

Now he says he wants to find himself.

What does that mean?

I asked him the same thing.

You want to find yourself? Buy a Harley or go to India like everyone else.

But don't fuck everything up.

Did he tell you about our New Year's ritual?

No. Just that the kids stay with their grandparents.

Then you celebrate by yourselves.

The best part

was writing down our resolutions.

Then reading them to each other to see if they matched.

We'd toast just before the countdown

and promise to try our best to keep them.

It was like renewing our family contract every year.

Now it doesn't seem like it's enough for either of us.

I know you'll get through this, Núria.

Because you want to, don't you?

Do you know what the problem is with finding yourself, Bruno?

You lose others along the way.

Happy New Year.

Núria's here.

Here where?

-At Bar Bero. Working. -The barber's?

-Isn't that where your Álex works? -He's not my Álex, not the point.

-Why didn't you say it was so bad? -What do you mean?

She's pretty sure you're going to separate, Albert.

What the fuck is going on?

-Cheeseburgers with blue cheese? -No, thanks.

Ignoring your girlfriend's call on New Year's?

Did she send you to tell me that?

Fuck, we're not 12 years old.

I'm really busy. If you want something, ask Javi.

-Hello. -She called me because she was a mess.

She felt awful after your fight.

She needed affection. I gave it. I'd do it for you.

I'd never have cheated.

You're in an open relationship. The three of us fuck.

Together!

Those were the rules.

Patri and I had a deal. She broke it.

So did you by outing her.

It's not the same.

You betrayed her. Now she's a bitch.

-Hi. -Because we apparently fucked.

Apparently? You seriously want me to think you didn't?

What would it change if we didn't?

What's your idea of betrayal?

Kissing, sleeping together, eating each other out?

Things she does without your approval?

Did you fuck?

You're so open, so "Fuck the patriarchy,"

but you're actually just a jealous old man.

If I'd known, I wouldn't have got involved.

Should I hand out the grapes?

-Hey! Why are you here? -Darling!

-We need some help. -Flor was just leaving.

-It's almost midnight. -I've got somewhere else to be.

This is for you, bitch.

Call her. Start the year right, okay?

Are you okay?

Fantastic.

The storm breaks The sky's already gray

It'll be the last night I spend with you

If you'll let me, I'll show you

I know how to sacrifice myself I have my dignity

And then you must have courage

Say goodbye without saying goodbye to me

Let's love each other one more time

And then you must leave me

You have to go away

You

Don't be afraid Choose

To show your face and come closer

And steal the last kiss from my mouth

Leave

This love alone

Don't insist because I'll deny you

Thank you very much, Najat! Really, thank you.

-Goodbye! -Bye.

Happy New Year!

You too!

No, no, no, no Because now

If you kiss me

I'll be

In love again

Oh, leave this love alone

And steal the last kiss from my mouth

Leave

This love alone

Don't insist because

I'll deny you my mouth

Oh, leave this love alone

Thank you. I can't breathe.

This song wasn't planned.

It was a special request from my friend, Jokin,

who's come specially from Bilbao to celebrate New Year's with us.

A round of applause for Jokin!

Give her a little attention, bitches.

She's not gotten any in a year. She's insufferable.

I need a tequila. Be right back.

Ramiro, what a surprise.

Happy New Year.

Likewise.

I didn't know you sang so well.

I'm a "mosintress" from head to toe.

A what?

Never mind.

Come with me. Come this way.

Álex!

Excuse me, can I get a beer?

-Light, dark, or alcohol-free? -A normal one.

-Thanks. -Sure.

RAMÓN WHERE ARE YOU?

Bruno, right?

Yes. How did you know?

Álex talked about you.

Don't worry. He only said good things.

MOTORBIKE PROBLEMS, I'LL TAKE THE SUBWAY, BE THERE SOON.

Come in.

Why didn't you say you were coming?

I hadn't planned to.

I don't even know if it's a good idea.

But I was alone at the hostel and...

I want to start the year with you.

How cute.

But I'm working. I can't give you much attention.

I don't care. A toast is fine.

I don't want you to be uncomfortable.

If you mean Álex...

His mom and aunt are here.

Right.

Well,

tell them I'm here for you, if they don't get it...

You didn't tell him?

The truth is,

I thought I wouldn't see you again.

Why?

We both had a great time.

Well, at least I did. I did and...

I thought you did.

Why don't we do this?

Tomorrow, when it's calmer and my hangover's gone...

Javier, if you have something to say, just say it.

-Now's not the time. -Javier.

Please.

The other night was fantastic.

I wasn't expecting it.

The truth is,

it's been ages since I had so much fun.

-Me too. -Right.

But I don't think it's a good idea to carry on.

Right...

Right, I understand.

-I understand. -Ramiro, it's not because of you.

You're a great person.

But there's Álex, and it's complicated.

Of course. It's all right.

It's my fault for thinking...

that...

Don't worry.

I'll leave you alone.

Why are you here?

Don't worry. I was just leaving.

I'm sorry for the pain I caused.

I hope you all have a happy life.

I really do.

Goodbye.

Something to tell me?

Bruno! By yourself? Where's Ramón?

On his way.

You can wait with us.

I'm fine, thanks. He'll be here soon.

If he's late, you'll have to kiss someone else at midnight.

He'll make it.

I hope so.

It'd be a shame to miss it.

It took a lot of persuading to get him here.

What do you mean?

You were invited last minute.

Yeah, so?

This was meant to be a private party.

But no one RSVPed, and Vero was worried she'd be short.

So she sent out loads of invitations yesterday.

Vero? Álex didn't send them?

Vero convinced him to use his phone.

They thought a message from Álex would work better.

I have to go.

-What, now? -Yeah.

Puchusky, my dog, I have to take him out.

Bye.

The poor guy felt ridiculous.

He saw you didn't care.

He wanted to leave and never see you again.

But I convinced him to stay.

When you left, he'd finished half a bottle of tequila.

He couldn't stand up.

I wanted to make sure he got to his hostel.

Then you fell into bed.

So? What's the big deal?

Is it that bad I gave him what he needed? What we both needed?

There are plenty of others you could fuck.

You might be able to get whoever you want.

Cut that "no one loves me" crap.

You have plenty of admirers.

-I should sleep with people I don't like? -No, just those who haven't upset my mom.

-It's no big deal. -He fucked my dad.

Once. Just once. More than 30 years ago.

-He didn't mean to hurt her. -I don't care what he said.

I only know he has suffered.

He had to make awful decisions.

But Ramiro is a good man, Álex.

And I like him.

A lot.

I want to get to know him.

But rest assured, honey,

I've already made it clear we won't be seeing each other again.

No, Javi, wait.

Need something?

No, I just got a call. I have to go to another party.

-What? You're leaving already? -Yeah.

-I'll take this. -Isn't it for me?

-No, it's silly. You won't like it. -Since you went to the effort.

-You don't know. I'll open it. -I do.

-Let go. -Give it to me.

BRINGING UP BABY

Bringing Up Baby.

It was this or Frozen.

But I thought that...

I prefer this.

I should go.

-It's almost 12. -They're waiting.

-You'll be late. -It's close.

Stay for the bells.

We can toast. Drinks on me.

Just one, okay?

-Just one. -Yeah, fine.

Come on.

Did he say anything?

-I'll see you at the bar. -Okay.

Hey, Bruno!

-Where's Núria? -Why are you here?

-The kids? -With the nanny.

-Has Núria already gone? -No.

She's not far. What's up?

-I have to find her. -She'll show up.

I have to find her before midnight.

-Try the restroom? -What? Where are they?

-There. -Let's go.

He said sorry and wished us the best.

Did he say if he was staying in Barcelona?

The way he said it, I don't think we'll see him again.

It's for the best.

Yes, the best.

Listen up, guys, gals, and nonbinary pals!

Less than 15 minutes until the new year!

I'm going to have a stroke!

Make sure you have everything under control. I don't want any tears.

There are cups with grapes on the tables. Have you all got one?

-Yeah! -That's how I like it, obedient.

Time to remove the grape seeds,

unless you want to choke,

but you've had bigger things in your mouth

and you survived.

What are you doing?

Sorry, hon, the stage is for stars only.

Just a minute.

Sorry.

Hello. Núria?

It's Albert!

If you can hear me, come out, please.

Who is this Núria?

-My wife. -Your wife?

Either you got the wrong bar or married the wrong girl.

No, I didn't.

I know she's here. She has to be.

Marrying her is the best thing I ever did.

Hello, my love.

What are you doing, Albert?

No! You started the show.

Now finish it. Come on. Everyone wants to hear you.

Come on.

Yesterday...

yesterday I told you I needed to find myself.

I already have.

I'm in here.

You don't know this, but I kept all of our resolutions in this folder.

From every New Year's Eve since we met.

Look.

Ten years ago,

we both wrote,

"Start a family."

And we had Julia.

Then Artur and Ariel, they're in here, too,

along with other wishes.

"Renovate the apartment."

"Visit the Atacama Desert."

"Be a size 10 again."

"Learn Japanese."

We didn't manage them all, but it doesn't matter.

What mattered

was wishing them together.

Especially the last one

that we wrote together.

Love one another more and better.

It was the most important one and where I screwed up.

Forgive me.

I'm lost, Núria.

I'm not okay, and I don't know why exactly,

but one thing is clear.

I want to keep writing resolutions with you.

For this New Year

and all those that follow.

What do you say?

Yes.

Lovely!

Thank you, Núria and Albert, for this wonderful display

of heterosexual love.

May you both be happy.

And stop kissing now. You're stealing my show.

Ten minutes left, bitches!

Patri, I'm sorry. I've been stupid.

I don't care about Flor. I don't know what got into me.

No, please, listen.

I know you won't make it for the grapes, and I hate it.

I don't want to start the year mad.

I don't know about mad, but together at least.

I know we have a lot to talk about, but it can wait until 2023.

RAMÓN CALLING

Hey, Bruno.

-Hey, weren't you leaving? -Yes. But...

Ramón and I had arranged to meet here.

I'm sure he'll arrive just in time.

-Yeah. -Typical of him.

Yeah.

Álex! Come here. It's almost time.

Sorry. Do you have the grapes?

-Here. -Yes.

Friends of yours?

I'm their kids' godfather.

Can they go in there?

They won't be the first, or the last, getting laid in there.

-Honestly. -Speaking from experience?

It's not a bad way to start the year.

WHERE ARE YOU?

I want to be with the kids more.

I want us to travel again.

I want to quit architecture.

I want to paint.

I want our kids to be proud of us.

I want to love you more and better.

I want to love you more and better.

Where the hell are you?

Call me when you get this, wherever you are.

He'll be on the subway without service.

Yeah, I guess.

A reminder for the slower among you,

someone always gets it wrong.

First, the carillon chimes,

then the quarters,

then the bells chime.

Got it?

Or do you need a diagram?

Five minutes to go!

I always get super nervous before the bells chime.

Don't you?

It's just like any other party for me. I prefer St. John's.

Ibra!

-Damn, the chest! -What chest?

The chest game. My friends and I play every year.

You pick a resolution.

It has to be something you regret

not having done the year before. Get it off your chest.

Like what?

I don't know. Tell me something you regret.

Something you wanted to do.

I don't really know.

There must be something.

I can't think of anything.

You have four minutes to think about it. You too.

-Yeah. -I want to hear from you both.

-Okay? -Sure.

Any regrets?

You?

As a matter of fact, yes.

May I ask what?

No, it doesn't matter now.

No, tell me.

Four minutes!

Sorry, I said I'd get you a drink. What do you want? Cava or a mixed drink?

A beer is fine.

Okay, light, dark, or alcohol-free?

I hate alcohol-free beer, Álex.

It's the first thing I said when we met.

Sorry, it's just a habit.

No, of course.

It's normal to forget with so many orders.

You just can't keep track of them all.

Where are you going?

To find Ramón.

-You should wait here. -Will you leave it?

-What? -You keep telling me to stay. Why?

I just want to get you a drink.

-But why? -Because I feel like it.

Are you trying to be polite? There's no need.

So you don't want a drink?

You know what I want?

Yes. I want a beer.

A normal beer.

No imported beer,

no fancy bottle or anything. Just a plain, cold, tasty beer.

I don't know why the fuck I can't find one.

I don't get it.

When I look around, everyone's drinking beer.

Wherever I go, all my friends have one.

I don't know how, but if they run out,

they get another in no time.

They drink it and they're so happy.

If you want a beer, ask me.

Don't you see your beer isn't for me, Álex?

I loved tasting it. It was amazing.

I love your beer. I can't stop thinking about it,

but I can't let myself drink it.

I thought I could.

I thought if you offered, I'd drink whenever I wanted.

That's when you should have offered it.

When I sent the smiley.

You should have asked me if I wanted a beer, but you didn't.

Now my beer is with fucking Ibra,

and I have to make do with tasteless, alcohol-free beer.

-Álex, come on. It's time. -Coming.

-It's time. -The carillon!

-Get ready, everyone! -Come on.

Come on!

Ramón.

Ramón, wait.

-Come on, swallow them all! -Ramón!

Ramón, wait!

Is that what I am to you? A tasteless, alcohol-free beer?

-I didn't mean that, I swear. -Fuck you!

Ramón, please!

Ramón!

I can't.

-There's one left. -And 12!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

-Happy New Year! -Happy New Year.

This will be our year.
