THE HOTEL

Do you have something better to do?

Of all days!

Maria!

Maria?

Darling? Where are you?

What are you doing there?

I've told you not to sleep in my bed!

You have your own room.

I was afraid that daddy would come.

I know, darling.

That's why we've moved.

Oh, the coffee!

I want to bathe.

With gel. I bought you a new brand.

Oh, no Mom!

Gel tickles my "human body".

Really?

What else it tickles?

Does it tickle here?

Is the yellow part the chicken?

I don't know, Maria.

Don't ask and just eat.

A friend says it is the chicken.

Eat the white part, then.

No, that's the P.E. uniform!

He'll be naked!

What's on your lips?

Hello, Mr. Epigmenio!

Late again?

And I couldn't even shower.

It's the same everywhere.

They promise to bring water...

from the Yucatan peninsula.

Look!

Seems they're building a tube.

"Water pipe... problem wiped?"

Why aren't you here?

When you become 18...

I'll tell you.

That's too far away!

Don't worry, time flies.

Alexandra, my hair hurts!

Stop it. You're so weird.

Hurry up!

It's all the same:

school, weird friends, night clubs...

Can we drop this, boss?

Hang in there for a couple of days...

and don't call me all the time.

"WATER PIPE... PROBLEM WIPED"

Did you do it?

Find her? Yes.

No, I mean the cave.

Who cares about a model?

Look at her: no butt.

She's the daughter.

She may know something.

The cave must be a tall tale.

Try to finish the tube...

and I'll take care of her and the water tankers.

Your part. Why don't you bring water from somewhere closer?

Why don't you bring water from somewhere closer?

Don't you watch TV?

Ground water nearby is dirty and toxic.

It has to be clean.

VIP stuff!

For the wealthy and handsome.

Can you say "hi" before taking a shower?

Why do you always have running water?

With the right friends, you can have it all.

Hot cakes?

Mickey Mouse style, as a kid you loved them.

As a kid I loved swimming...

I dreamt of my dad teaching me how to swim, could that be true?

Drop it, Alex. Still wondering?

He didn't even know you were born.

You keep changing the story.

Eat, it'll get cold.

What's your job tonight?

The launching of a new cigarette: with double filter.

How cool!

Look who's talking!

Whiskey for breakfast... and "guest star" in soaps.

At least I've finished high school.

Wrong! What I didn't finish was college.

Because you got pregnant... and I took care of Maria...

I had to kick you out of the house for you to become a real mom.

Thanks a lot!

So instead of a lawyer, I'm a hostess.

- Weren't you a model? - Weren't you a movie star?

Miss Alexandra Robles?

I'm attorney Sampietro.

Can I explain to you the procedure?

Thanks. Not now!

It's about a hotel of your... Hello?

- What was that? - Mind your own business!

Why didn't you give me eggs?

We're the only Mexicans here!

Yeah.

What is this commercial for?

It's for a beer.

- Did you bring your bikini? - Of course!

The one with a panda bear print...

right here!

Stand under the light, beauty.

On the mark.

Turn around.

Now the other way.

Let's see you jump!

Ok. I don't need it. Grab a bottle and pretend you're falling in love,

as if you wanted to have sex with it.

Excuse me! Sorry!

Sorry, I'm late.

Really?

How was your day, honey?

So-so. I broke up with Martin.

I didn't know you had a boyfriend.

Alexandra! I had already told you.

They gave us a class on dinosaurs.

Which ones?

I don't know, the pre-historic kind.

I love her company.

I hate night jobs... but I have no choice.

- As long as they pay. - They don't.

What about the cell phone bill?

We'll have to make smoke signals again.

- I can't even pull that off. - Neither pull nor puss.

Do your homework, Maria!

Which one?

I don't know... the dinosaur one.

What for? They're all gone.

Really? No panties?

What for?

Some guy will rip them off in the restroom.

Men's or ladies'?

If I'm sober this time, I'll check.

Water.

- Seventy? - So drink champagne... It's cheaper.

Yeah, right! And milk too.

The gas as well.

We've arrived, ladies.

Once upon a time, there was a princess...

who kissed a frog and he became a prince

and both lived happily ever after.

Oh no, Alexandra! You're rushing it.

Who is it?

Who do you think?

Holy shit.

How did you get in?

How did you find us?

As always.

What do you want now?

- Want to see her. - She's asleep.

And I doubt she wants to see you. Neither do I.

911

- Stop it. - Alfonso. When will you leave us alone?

Remember the good times together...

with my music... my songs!

♪ Don't you steal my air anymore... ♪

♪ I don't have enough to love ♪

What then, Alex?

Should I knock this down?

Again?

Please, stop it...

Who are you fucking, whore?

Go away, asshole!

Don't you get it? I don't want you.

I-don't-want-you!

Open the door like you opened your legs!

Stop it!

Leave me alone! Go away!

We don't want you anymore.

Open up!

The way you opened them!

How did you open them?

Be careful. Wait you morons. Easy, easy!

Alright bitch, I'll go with them...

But I'll be free tomorrow... and we'll have more fun!

Fine! I'll call a lawyer!

It's useless! You never married me.

Can I sleep with you?

Ok, but don't grind your teeth.

I promise I won't.

"Seismic alert".

Maria!

Help me!

I can't find Veronica.

Who is Veronica?

Come on, Alexandra!

All my dolls are called Veronica!

What is she saying?

That she's thirsty.

500 PESOS.

THANKS FOR COMING. WELCOME.

Hello?

- I'm not here. - She says... she's not here.

Your father died intestate...

without a written will.

So you, as an only child, inherit the whole...

of "The Fifth Sun" Hotel... in Playa del Carmen..

This, of course, after an edict is published

in all the newspapers

to certify there are no other sons.

It has to be done soon.

If you have no questions...

if you'll excuse me.

Maria, let's go.

If I were you, I'd go there soon

to avoid the employees... from occupying the place.

Here, young man! Can I have an inflated one?

See?

This is Mexico City...

and Playa del Carmen is here.

That's so much water!

Will we get there by plane?

I don't know, Maria...

I don't know if we're going.

- And who is Carmen? - I have no idea!

Seriously! I need to know!

I'll pay you back when my agency pays.

They owe me four events.

C'mon Alex! Relax! Have fun!

And get yourself a boatsman.

We'll see what happens... maybe there's nothing there.

You better find two... and send one to me!

One? Two what?

Two handsome boatsmen, Mom!

Here we go again...

always on the move.

Who is it?

Who do you think?

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

Came to see you naked.

I'm busy. Call you tomorrow?

Why? Are you with anyone?

Yes. And it's a she.

How's that grab you?

She's nine... and also loved my tits.

Close from outside.

You're happy to leave?

It's odd.

You know what?

I feel lonely here...

where I was born.

I know nobody there... makes more sense to be alone, no?

Take me with you.

Mom? What are you doing?

Nothing. Just dreaming.

I feel the same itching.

You haven't bathed.

You want skin cream?

Ok, but I'll put that on by myself.

Water is for everyone!

They are right... It's been a week!

I'll say it again:

you're not her father!

Don't say that! I want to die!

Well, that's the truth... and if you don't accept...

I said to turn them off.

Nobody cares!

Cut!

What do you want?

Don't you see I'm working?

Grandma! We're at the airport!

My father died.

Really? Was he still alive?

He left me a hotel at the beach.

The dirty white one? Didn't he leave me anything?

Cash... jewels?

You're incredible! You didn't love him at all.

Sure I did!

But they offered me too many movies...

to be sweating myself away on a small town...

sweeping sand and frying fish.

Goodbye, Mom! I'll see you on T.V.

Today came three flights from the North.

Three! Packed with ranchers.

I mean... that's why, Miss...

we southern folks are different!

The northern guys think... they're "machos" cause they're tall...

and wear a mustache. Machos?

We're more macho!

Remember... we killed the dinosaurs!

What?

You? When?

When the meteorite fell down!

When was that?

Not so long ago!

A little before the Mayan period.

The Yucatan peninsula!

The motherland!

Almost a separate country!

Pretty...

mysterious...

"THE FIFTH SUN" HOTEL

"THE CAVE"

"THE LAZY"

Hello?

Hello?

Nobody is here!

Do you work here?

Not so much lately.

We haven't been paid in a month.

It's still a hotel, right?

Does it look like a museum? Do we look like sculptures?

I'm Silverio... the cook from Merida.

He's Willy... the barman.

A tough guy from Durango.

Do you know the shoe one?

So this guy goes to the doctor...

"Doctor, doctor:

I can't say the word "shoe".

"What do you mean? You just did!"

"No, listen..."

March...

April...

May... Shoe... July!

He couldn't say June!

Would you like a room?

Well...

Yes...

It's supposed to be mine.

What?

A piece of paper? Sure, that's yours.

No!

The Hotel!

My father left me...

the hotel.

Oh, the famous Alex.

I'm Estela.

As for now, darling... he left you this.

DEBTS

Welcome to your hotel!

You'll never want to go!

Just smell the towels!

Aroma of forest flowers.

I'm Mrs. Pussy... Cleaning Department.

I'll just explain to you all and I leave...

my parents expect me north.

But I don't know what to do with a hotel!

You can't even say it right!

It's with an H.

What do you want to eat?

A brontosaur.

Really?

Yeah! In garlic sauce!

Miss... Two "brontosaurus".

That's a lot of keys!

Your grandpa thought of everything.

Electricity... bottles of water... flowers.

And the monthly wages.

So handsome.

Is this you?

Yes... long time ago.

Incredible!

You look identical.

Really? To who?

- Mom? - Maria! Why are you up?

I'm scared!

The window has monsters.

It's nothing... only shadows from the trees.

She has to register.

Yours is a single room.

Make it double.

Cut it out!

Double is your vision, jerk!

Ready, baby?

Do you want to be here?

I want us to have a good time.

Get get a nice tan.

Have lots of water.

And find out about your dad, right?

I know how mine is... well, so-so.

Wanna go to the beach tomorrow?

Yeah!

And we get some boyfriends?

Good morning... to all of you.

Is the architect here?

Well... no.

He died last week.

It cant be!

Last time he was alive.

Such is life. I'm his daughter...

can I help you?

Commander Zaragoza.

Really? So, he died...

just like that... without warning.

What a pity!

We had a few pending issues.

I won't keep you here.

Anything you need... call me.

But if I need nothing?

What? In that case... I'll call you.

I think she knows nothing.

She's hot!

But seems naive.

Don't you believe her... she is a woman.

Take me home!

Beware of that guy.

Your dad couldn't stand him.

There, my "destroyer".

You can leave.

Don't touch me!

You'll break your door too?

Didn't you appear on TV...

with a little guitar?

The boiler... it may throw flames...

and burn your eyelashes.

The jacuzzi heater.

Never turn it on... or you'll boil the guests.

The fuses... if you touch them you'll be zapped.

The water tank pump... turns on sometimes.

The faucet is stuck...

you have to hammer it. This way.

How're you doing?

Fine. How about there?

Great!

The door is still in one piece.

Have you had water?

Sometimes, very little...

but you know I'm always wet.

I gotta go. New guests. Kisses.

How long are you staying?

Three... Only three days, I think.

See? It wasn't so hard.

You're a hotelier now.

Stop it!

Feel how I'm sweating.

To play the star's mom?

No way.

It's that the only role?

Then tell them I won't.

She's 36 years old.

It's real. And it's being built.

Mexico's longest tube!

You'll never be without water.

"Water pipe...

problem wiped"

I'm coming!

Who is it?

Your momma... faggot! Open the door!

No way! What do you want?

A little sweater, a dress?

You look disturbed.

Shall I slip you a cup of relaxing tea?

- Where are they? - I have no idea, honey!

Tell me or you'll be sorry.

I'm only sorry about...

having a girlfriend in kindergarten.

You better leave... or you'll sleep at the "Police Hotel" again.

- Who is it? - Who do you think?

Wanna come in?

Where are they?

I don't know.

They only asked me to take care of their stuff.

This is not a transient hotel!

I'm sorry...

that yankee must have spiked my drink.

He wanted to abuse me.

Can you exchange a few dollars?

That one's false.

Don't you have another one?

Take them.

You could start a collection.

Well... you've already met Alex:

this ball is now hers.

What's the game now? Are we getting paid?

Are we getting a raise?

Quiet. Let her talk... or I tell a joke?

Business have been tough here.

Yes, we know... hurricanes, crisis...

but this hotel needs a "fashion makeover".

A new stove...

Stereo sound...

Towels that really dry...

A laser beam.

Are you crying?

No... not really.

Are you lost?

Where are your parents?

You have such beautiful hair.

I wash it every other day.

Maria!

What are you doing here?

Could she come to the beach with us?

No...

thanks...

I was just leaving.

Did you bring a bathing suit?

So then what?

About what?

How did we end up us here drinking... alone?

I don't know. Do you care?

Should we catch the evening mass?

I'll buy you a new bottle... plus some cash...

for their whereabouts.

I think, at the beach.

But in which one?

I don't know.

I'd rather open the legs...

than my mouth.

- What else? - About your father? What can I say?

He was a visionary! This was jungle...

and dirt roads when he built this hotel.

He designed it in two minutes... on a paper napkin.

Then he paid a bribe... to build a third floor,

the way he dreamed it.

You loved him?

You had a relationship?

What makes you think...

that If I say "no"...

its true?

Or if I say ' "yes"...

I'm not doing it just to annoy you?

You can't board the plane in that state.

In what state? Tlaxcala?

Listen, lady... I need to see my daughter.

Don't you have anyone? Not even a cat?

Lower your voice. It won't help you.

I'm speaking normally.

What's more, I'm boarding the plane.

Wait, guys! I have to fly.

Me-xi-co! Hurrah!

Alex! My child! Open the door!

I've dyed my gray hair.

You were so blonde as a kid.

I wanted a brown skinned girl,

but it's okay.

Come on, open up! Open the door!

Maria! Wake up!

I had a nightmare!

Me too...

I dreamt I had to go to school.

The beer commercial?

When?

I won't be able.

I feel strange.

Stop feeling that much...

just put them down.

How did it happen?

It was a car crash...

they flattened it...

and then it caught on fire...

We had to close the casket at the wake.

This heat!

Where did you get those flowers?

Alfonso...

it's the last time I bail you out!

Trust me.

Why don't we rent a cell...

and you move in here? It would be cheaper!

Now you won't talk?

Let me guess... they beat you up when you sang your hit.

You won't stop until you find a stripper dead,

in your house and all covered in mud.

I don't know why, but all covered in mud.

Well... I'm leaving now.

It's all about making more money than what you spend.

I'll make a great effort!

"A great effort?"

To make "A great effort".

The national slogan.

Your "great effort" is useless.

If you want do it without "effort"...

but do it right!

The key to your father's room.

The lock is a bit tricky.

Come closer, Miss. I need you all.

May the roads open... so they succeed.

May the roads open... so they succeed.

Why me first?

Mom. You know!

I am an alcoholic...

and I'm a sick man...

of my own emotions.

Hello, Alfonso!

I don't know what to tell you.

I didn't know there was a safe.

Sure? I don't believe you.

And there was never any money.

What could he hide in there? Sea shells?

I've tried everything. My birth date, the zip code...

Mexico's '86 World Cup.

Try with a KISS.

A kiss?

I can't hear you well.

Hello?

I washed it for you.

With chlorine and all.

No, thanks...

you can keep it. I have others I like more.

Yes... I can be your godfather.

Why did you come?

I haven't been successful.

They don't hire me for concerts.

And so many other things...

so many.

I hit rock bottom.

Really?

I have bad news.

The truth is: there is no bottom.

That's the beauty... and the worst part.

You can always fall further down.

Shit. I can't reach the bottom.

Let's see.

Let me do it.

Oh dear... even when cleaning you look like a slut.

What? I can't hear you!

Keep at it, Cinderella.

Look, Mom. My new boyfriend.

What's your name?

Diego.

He's a little shy, no?

Much better! So he won't break my door.

Seven...

twelve... ninety.

Eighteen... twelve... sixty three.

Six... three... one million!

Maria. Shut up!

I can't concentrate.

I'm bored.

And you don't know what you're doing.

No! I'm listening to the gears.

Like they do it in the movies.

But those are actresses!

I'll go be bored somewhere else.

They're like the smurfs, right?

No.

The "Aluxes" are goblins this tall.

If you give them food and cigarettes...

they're nice.

They help you out and they protect you.

But if you don't...

they'll do lots of mischief...

and hide your things... they'll scare you!

Again?

From the gas station store?

I've told you:

collect 5,000 and I'm yours for an hour.

I had it last month but my mom got sick.

And I don't get tips here.

Did you read what I wrote?

Yes, it's very beautiful.

But I don't live off poems.

And why 5,000 pesos?

Because I say so.

These lips...

are for free.

But the other ones...

they cost 5,000. How do you like that?

They were usually here.

It's like a pool for them?

- Did you bring the cigarettes? - I snatched 3 off my mom.

Look! That's one of them.

Did you see it?

No, where?

Oh, yes, I see it! He took a dive.

Give him the cigarettes.

Oh, crap. We did not bring a lighter.

They may get mad.

No, they light it with their shoe-soles.

That's an "incredibility"!

More beautiful than ever.

With her chocolate skin...

pure white teeth...

and her fruity thick lips...

Yamile.

Women alone are not allowed.

They let you in because I've asked them.

I liked your dance but...

doesn't this bother you?

The truth? Yes.

But it gives me pleasure...

to see all these assholes so horny...

drooling,

ready to pay fortunes...

to be with me.

Isn't it disgusting?

Having them all over you, touching you?

Of course.

What do you think?

On my first time... I threw up all over an old man.

I threw up all over an old man.

Then you don't feel it when they go inside.

Your mind goes blank.

Or dark, rather!

Besides...

I hate my grandma and my hometown.

I'm close to be done with this shit.

Then what do you want to do?

Get a job...

or study.

I wasn't too bad.

I've finished junior high.

I've finished high school...

and also was around... in short skirts and high heels.

Nobody can make plans, damnit.

They want you for a private session.

See how it is?

I'm going to the dentist.

That was the sensual Melissa.

To reopen a restaurant?

Copies must be legal size. No reductions.

Not double sided. One by one.

In color? Didn't you read the sign?

Only in black and white.

Don't you prefer to borrow the copier...

and take it home?

You've only built 50?

You'll never finish it! It's 1200 kilometers.

Those are the orders.

The water pipeline wasn't even my idea.

You're putting your career on the line.

What about the cave? The opposition claims to know all about it.

They know nothing.

Besides, what about the yankees?

Tell them to aim a satellite over here!

I'm working on it.

Let's see what they want in return now.

It was the toy of the architect.

Estela will kill us if she finds out.

Estela is gone.

The restaurant is what matters now.

Your father stopped using it.

He was afraid to be hit from the rear...

and to be thrown flying in the air...

That's why...

What else can we sell?

The water is ours!

They make me sick!

As if protesting works.

Let them try. It's their struggle.

If one is false, give it to a stripper...

to undress on the tube.

Speaking of tubes...

Do you think they'll finish it?

Finish it.

They just steal the official funds.

This one seems false.

What are those tankers?

They carry fresh water from the natural wells.

To the States, they say...

where it's bottled and sold expensive.

As magic water...

from the Mayans... "a cure-it-all".

You know how Yankees are...

they believe in any tale.

I should say hi and leave.

Oh please, Alexandra!

You act so childish.

Good to see you! Come on over.

Hello, Daniel.

Did you say hi to your husband?

He must be hiding.

His loss.

What are those?

Caribbean lobsters.

I caught them this morning.

They were still running around earlier.

You brought a bikini?

One with a panda bear that my Mom bought me.

Cheers.

My son told me that you own a hotel?

Yes, it's all in white...

it's kind of cool.

And you... what do you do?

Me? I sell coke...

I have three Coke bottling plants here.

Not the sexiest business around, but...

someone has to make the sodas.

Especially in this heat.

Are you OK?

It's nothing,

I choked on an ice cube.

Kids! Lunch is ready!

Idiots!

I've said 'tonight'!

She is still over here.

That's a Toledo.

What do you think?

It's a classic.

And that's a Tamayo...

the master.

They look pretty...

and big.

Did you know that 75% of our bodies is water?

And only 2.5% of all water in the planet...

is fresh...

potable.

H..2..O.

Two atoms of hydrogen...

and one of oxygen.

This small.

But indispensable for life.

Do you know what's in here?

Bottled water!

The most expensive...

and exotic ones.

The morning dew...

in the leaves... of the green tea fields of China.

This one is very rare...

from the ice cap of Mt. Everest.

And the most expensive one.

From the springs of the diamond fields in S. Africa.

I'll never drink them.

Underneath this peninsula...

it's Mexico's biggest water reservoir.

Fresh... clean.

Right under our feet...

there's a transparent treasure.

Great treasures always... lie low.

Now what? A welcoming committee?

The office!

Did you order a pizza?

Anybody?

Thanks. If you'll excuse me.

- Take us to the room. - Single or... double?

The key is a little tricky.

It's open now.

Why do you want that?

Well, I liked it.

I'll give it to my mom.

So I'll give it to yours.

I don't understand.

Is this hotel a gift...

or a curse?

- How do I look? - You look great.

You scared me.

What are you doing here?

Nothing. Just walking by.

I went to buy some cigars.

Tonight we'll reopen the restaurant.

We'll throw a party. You'll bring Diego?

Of course... but keep your hair like that.

Shopping around?

Only for a few things I needed.

Can I help you?

Just checking your permits.

Social security, health, taxes...

This country has changed.

Corruption is over.

Really? Great!

I've got them all. Want to check?

- No, thanks. - I trust you.

What about the permit to have dinner with me?

Not right away.

I'm very busy.

So, with your permission.

I haven't received my invitation yet.

Did you tell your mom?

What? The way I am?

She told me, instead.

One day my sister was shouting:

"Mom, Mom.

Willy put on my dress".

Thank God Dad wasn't there.

His son can't be like...

so sissy.

These codecs are not in classic Mayan.

It would take years to decode.

If they can.

And this map?

What?

Did you check it?

Yes.

It's of coffee shops.

Regular, cappuccino, espresso...

I've got it!

Double expresso, machiatto...

Chai tea...

"Love tea".

Dumbass!

The fuses! Give me a break!

Don't go.

Reconnect it, please.

I've paid the bill today. At midday... I swear you.

Sorry, we can't undo it.

It's all computerized.

On Monday you will be back online.

This guy goes to a shop... and meets a friend...

and the friend asks him:

- What are you here for? - Just buying candles.

- Are you out of power? - No...

I'm out of candles.

Here's the last one...

What the heck? This looks like a funeral.

Boatsmen... come to daddy!

My friend!

How nice that we both have boyfriends.

No, miss.

I'm still free.

Alexandra! What will I do with you?

Maria...

wake up!

No way.

There's someone outside.

It's nothing.

Those are shadows from the trees.

Can you sign the receipt?

Of what?

Of this power generator. You fill it with gas and...

you'll never be in the dark.

"YOU'RE A RAY OF LIGHT" DANIEL.

Thanks.

Bring it closer.

Hurry up, everybody!

I'll add some clouds over the green screen.

Then we cut... to the helicopter...

so it seems you're watching the tube!

Don't be an ass. Pick it up.

If they see it on TV, the trick is ruined.

Then we better leave it. No?

We take the risk?

A crane rehearsal.

You're a magician. It looks so real.

After editing it'll look better.

Anything to drink, sir?

Vodka, rum, whiskey... tequila?

Get me a brandy, gorgeous.

"President" brand, right?

How did you guess?

Mom...

I want to be like you.

But you should smoke less.

What?

About time, right?

Should we tell her?

I don't think so.

Better to keep him close.

Hi. What's up?

Almost leaving. And you?

I can't talk right now.

Are you with him, slut?

No!

I'm losing the signal.

Give him my thanks for the job. I got paid to do nothing.

Don't behave.

That tube goes to Mexico City!

Tell the reporter that I don't care...

what the Korean satellite shows.

So then, beauty?

No thanks. I can't.

Mom is picking me up.

I never met my Dad.

I never knew why.

There's a rumor about a mystery...

in the jungle...

a cave maybe?

I only know he left me a hotel.

They say he had no bank account.

Could he had been in something illegal?

What about the cash?

I hope it's under a mattress.

It appears that he was a ladies' man.

He got them all.

Really?

He should have moved to "Women's Island" then.

You are good at wordplay.

Do you think?

I do what I can.

Cheers!

It can't be easy being a single dad.

- And his Mom? - His Mom?

She left me for a younger guy.

They're in India now.

I'm sorry.

I think you're a great Dad.

Thank you. I'm doing my best.

We Latinos are famous for having sex...

and then vanish.

Sometimes is worse: they don't leave...

"they come", back.

- Sorry. - Cheers.

Cheers.

"ARGENTINIAN PASSPORT"

How long will you stay, Miss... Robles?

It depends on Alexandra.

That's me. How can I help?

I'm Valentina. Your half sister.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'll bathe and we'll talk at lunch. Ok?

- If you say so. - Do you have hot water?

Yes, that's the left knob.

Knob is for doors, no? You mean handle.

Whatever. If there's any trouble, call Mrs. Pussy.

Pussy? To which one?

To mine? While bathing?

What is this for?

A public notary told me it's all mine.

Only after they check for existing illegal sons.

Well, It happened.

"Happened": weird word!

Where did you read it?

Estela emailed it to me.

How lucky, aren't I?

I don't get it. How did they met?

A beach romance.

Mom was a visiting hippie.

She kissed the architect and... look what they did.

So, we're in trouble.

The hotel is full of debt...

you can own half of it.

OK. Then half of your wine is mine too.

Really?

Then I'll take your pizza...

half of it.

Welcome. What room would you like?

Rooms 1 to 10 are cheaper.

11 to 20 have balconies.

1 to 10 include sodas.

But from 11 to 20 have...

Arrogant Argentine!

Corrupt Mexican!

Willy, do you have any songs?

- You look great. - I'm not drinking.

I drank the world already.

- Do you work here? - Yes, but as the owner.

What about you?

Recording my new album... finally.

Why did you come?

I'm out of rooms.

I don't know...

to see you both...

to be together...

like in the beginning.

Alfonso... still with that idea?

My beginning is here now.

I have new problems at least.

"Water pipe... problem wiped!"

I'm sick of that pipe.

I hope it breaks.

No, Charles! A real father raises the child.

Natalia is 30 years old now.

Hurricane season begins... with "Aurora" coming.

We suggest you to...

The last thing we needed.

Don't worry.

They evolve into small tropical rainfalls.

Maybe, but...

I hope it blows away my ex...

and that Argentine girl, too.

Don't talk like that.

She has your blood,

and he's Maria's father.

And that... that's forever.

What did a gardener say to the other?

Not a clue.

Let's smoke the grass.

What a funny gnome.

Where were you?

If I don't take charge, this hotel sinks.

This lobby is too small for so much family.

What a day. It all went wrong!

I was so calm here,

and now my half sister and my ex

are walking around, happily.

Relax! Things happen for a reason.

I hate that phrase.

"For" a reason.

I rather know "what for" instead of just "for".

"For" is the past... and "what for" is the future.

So then...

The past is an ecstasy... the future is an ecstasy...

and the present is an "ecstasy".

More sexy than ever... the princess of Tabasco... Yamile!

You are seeing double.

Who opened the cage... and released that bitch?

Holy shit.

How bad do these things hit.

Blame the pill now.

We are all whores...

at least for one day.

That's how we are born.

It's in our DNA.

DNA? Your mother!

Good morning, Miss.

Is Billybaldo around?

Who?

Billybaldo.

He's thin, tall...

You mean Willy.

He checks in at eleven or so.

Do you want to wait?

Do you want a room?

We have a lot.

Thanks. I'll get breakfast.

Can you take off your jacket?

I perspire just by watching you.

Alexandra, wake up!

I have a life, too.

Hello.

Can I take her out?

What's with the formality?

I'm talking about María.

Yeah, sure, but with a chaperone.

Did you like your present? It's pink.

Sure, I've noticed, but it has no songs.

I didn't know which ones to put.

You could have put yours'.

You're right.

I should have done it.

"Should have" doesn't exist... but that's okay.

Did you like seeing your Dad?

Of course! He is the only one I have.

My father!

What are you doing here?

Whatever you like: a Cosmo, a margarita?

You abandoned the farm...

the cows... the bulls...

We have no chickens, remember?

You are hard of hearing, right?

What did you say?

What, Dad?

What do they say in that tacky town?

Has Britney been there?

Shut your trap!

So you like guys?

Yes, he does, and not only that...

We sleep together and we spoon..

What is the faggot saying?

What you've heard.

Why don't you go get a whore, as always?

My mom doesn't know that.

With all due respect, Sir...

once you calm down, we can share positive ideas.

Billybaldo! Lets go to Durango!

You're not a little gay!

My name is Willy...

Wi-lly-valdo!

With a W.

And mine is Gama, Sir!

Gamaliel, at your service!

Son!

Lucky you. The bullet went into the buttock.

But you'll have to stay here a few days.

Now the shit really "hit the fag".

And the doctor said I acted like a real man.

Listen...

thanks a lot.

- What for? - And you ask? For putting your ass on the line.

For putting your ass on the line.

What's happening to the water tankers?

We're under a storm. Didn't you know?

How is that a problem? The water will get wet?

Don't be a smart ass.

Roads are closed...

a hurricane is coming.

Then stop it.

We lose a fortune daily.

At five dollars a liter,

we lose $400,000 per convoy.

So tell the army to let them through.

We will be locked here for days...

and we have only 500 pesos.

What should we get? Cigarettes or condoms?

Valium pills to shut you up.

You're so bitter.

What you need is a good... you know what.

Why don't we each buy what we want?

Cool, I got Frida Kahlo. How about you?

Can I have three with filter?

Yes, it's taped.

Don't say a word.

The hurricane will kill us all.

And a box of condoms, too.

In exchange for cigarettes.

- Do you smoke? - Only if there's a hurricane,

tremors, revolutions... divorces...

In Argentina "Hurricane" is a soccer team.

Can you dance the tango?

Very badly,

but I know some Mexican songs,

Dad used to sing them to me.

What? You got to know him?

Just saw him twice.

We went to a big well of blue water.

A "cenote".

He taught me to swim.

I was so scared!

- To the Hotel. - To Dad.

To men.

Who are all "sons of whores".

You mean "sons of bitches", big tits.

Whatever, sister.

Bottoms up.

If it doesn't fall apart and I pay the debts...

I'll send you your money monthly. Ok?

Whatever, older sister.

Send what you like. Even sea shells.

What a pity that he died, right?

Who?

What do you mean "who"?

Our father.

Yeah... well...

that's what he says.

What was that?

That he would say that, if he was alive.

The number you dialed has changed...

Damn it, Estela!

Alex, you are still alive.

How's the drugstore?

It's a hotel, Mom.

Why did you say he didn't know about me?

His room has pictures of me as a kid.

And what about my sister?

I rather not talk about that.

Yeah, you don't say much.

What about the maps, the codex?

Don't go there. Do me a favor.

What are they? What's the meaning?

Do as I say.

I'm your Mom, like it or not.

And I'm not acting, OK?

Well... maybe... but poorly.

What are you doing, Maria?

Nothing. Homework.

It's late. Aren't you going to sleep?

Yes, Mom, very soon.

What number looks like the letter "T"?

Seven?

And the "B" is like and eight, right?

Yes, my dear.

What game are you playing?

María! You opened it!

How did you do it?

Easy...

I entered the numbers for "kiss".

What?

What "kiss"?

The kiss Estela told you.

BESITO

Wow! I can hear the sea.

People are desperate.

They're only getting three drops of water.

They say the tube has just begun.

I don't know what "somebody" said. Why bring water from there if it's polluted?

Why bring water from there if it's polluted?

Maybe the cesspools are done improperly.

Ask the local government. Thank you. If you'll excuse me.

Thank you. If you'll excuse me.

Run!

As you can see, the water is being wasted.

Here they have a fountain...

while there's no water.

Are you idiots?

No one knows how to shut it off?

On-off.

On-off... in Russian.

Alfonso was my first love...

he's my past.

Daniel is mature, more stable.

He assures me a future.

Then have sex with both.

Better yet: I get a new guy.

Well...

I'm leaving.

I'm boring you.

Not at all.. What I think is that...

The cash first, honey.

Do we know each other?

No, I don't think so.

It could be.

I meet so many people...

Could we talk a little?

Don't tell me you're the lonely type who talks.

I'll charge the same.

It's all right.

Could you button up, please?

Why?

You don't like my tits?

No, It's not that...

It's... you're so young.

And you don't like it?

It turns you on.

No, no, no...

the truth is...

Citlalli...

I'm your father.

Yes, Daddy, let's play along I'm your baby.

But for that money, I only play for an hour.

No, no, no... I'm serious.

Help me. I'm not feeling well.

Believe me, daughter.

Really?

Let's see:

what was my mother's name?

Judith.

What about my brother?

His name is Hector.

Shit.

You're right.

You wanna sit?

It was all a mistake.

I always sent you money since I left the prison...

but your grandma kept it.

I talked to her... it's all been cleared now... you owe her nothing.

Enough!

You left 18 years ago...

and Mom's death was your fault.

And what about me?

Look how I ended up!

Things got complicated.

Now you have two new little brothers.

Oh, yeah?

Then you, grandma, and the kids can fuck off.

You have been coming in for days to see me naked...

sipping white rum...

Do you think I didn't notice?

Daddy?

Whose father? You pig.

Useless!

Take him away! He slapped me!

Daddy!

Princess... finally...

here are my songs.

And what is this?

Aluxes and dinosaurs...

becoming friends.

How beautiful.

I will see you tomorrow, right?

Yes...

of course...

always.

What are you doing here?

I work until seven.

I raised the money.

Six... one thousand more.

What money?

Aren't there any other women in town?

- We made a deal. - A deal my ass.

You'll get me in trouble!

- One last time. - One last nothing.

Monday I start my computer course

you can buy a laptop then.

Did you like it?

Did I have to like it?

Yes.

A little bit?

You're so corny.

This was for the dough.

Dough?

Baking will make you sweat.

You can't even tell a joke.

You remind me of a film director I've met. Who? What did you do with him?

Who? What did you do with him?

You really want to know? Stop it!

I'm with you because I've promised it.

Don't make up a fairy tale.

Take that off my face.

I can't breathe.

I'm just playing.

You don't like me at all?

I got to get dressed.

The hour is up.

Where's my watch?

Will you marry me?

Of course not.

Are you crazy?

Alex...

I'm going into the sea... not into you...

What?

I've said sea, not sex.

The sea that is also wet.

Yes, fine... she's doing fine.

Hold on a second.

Now what?

Isn't this Citlalli's shift?

I knocked on her door, but she didn't answer.

Is he dead?

No, he just drank too much.

Fill it up, don't be mean.

I'm on my way.

You're in a fine mess.

They drowned her like a frog... and nobody saw anything.

What about him?

Do you know him?

Leave me alone.

We're not getting anywhere.

He's my daughter's father.

My former boyfriend. Why?

Grandma! She can't talk right now.

That's great! When?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I was on a yacht with Daniel.

He wasn't there. Neither me.

I'm not guilty of anything.

Tell me, Daniel who?

Daniel who?

Daniel, I don't know.

I can't recall.

Ok... Until you do and we investigate...

you're going to jail and this hotel is shut down.

Son of a bitch...

Oh yeah...

maybe...

but that's how it goes.

As long as you close your legs...

I close your hotel.

Why are you here?

I don't know.

I don't understand.

And you?

For protesting.

They want to dry this Peninsula.

Our water has been here for centuries... Alex.

How do you know my name?

Because of your father... because of your father...

Daniel, can I tell you something?

You release her now...

and you apologize to her,

on your knees, asshole!

Fucking girl!

Yes, Sir.

As you wish, Sir.

- You talk to him, Alex... - I can't stand him!

CLOSED DOWN

My love...

I've got to tell you something...

about your Dad.

Alex, I've got to tell you something...

about your Dad!

Good to see you again.

He's waiting for you.

Who the hell?

Wasn't he dead?

Legally, yes.

Fortunately, no.

Do you remember that I showed you how to swim?

I remember that Estela showed me your grave.

You look ridiculous.

Can you take that off? Or you can't look me in the eyes?

You disappeared...

just like that.

They had me under surveillance.

The poor guy who stole my car...

crashed and burned to death.

So we faked that the corpse was me.

Nobody checks anything in this country.

I mean you vanished... from my life.

Not totally.

Your mother left.

She didn't help with her lies.

She kept moving...

changed her phone number.

There were no cell phones or internet yet.

And there were many temptations here.

Each to his own mess.

Didn't you leave her for an Argentine?

No, that came afterwards.

And the hotel?

- Only problems. - It was a test...

to see what you were made of.

Let's be honest.

I didn't look for you... but you neither... we were lost for each other.

But you neither... we were lost for each other.

No, Sir...

You-lost-me.

Yes... maybe.

But now I need you.

Sugar?

No, thanks. I like it bitter.

Just like me! You see?

We've got things in common.

Don't be...

Drink it slowly...

and I'll show you something.

Done! Where're we going?

To my delirium.

My pride.

My perdition.

Estela!

Manners!

Shouts for you... whispers to her.

Love is that strange.

I knew you we're fucking her.

My love.

My true girlfriend.

Can I go?

It took me years to find it.

And even more to decipher.

And you leave!

It's just that...

my daughter is alone.

The exit? Silence!

Let's hear the walls...

The underground water of the Peninsula

is all connected.

It seems you can siphon it to Mexico City.

Through an underground tunnel.

The Mayans knew this.

They knew a lot.

The volcanic pressure would suck it up and send it.

The Popo and the Izta volcanoes.

The steam power would take it over there.

Isn't it fantastic?

Sorry but...

Isn't this bullshit?

No, Alex!

We have to destroy a rock wall...

that blocks the tunnel halfway...

We get rid of that and the water...

gets to Mexico City, by itself.

Only what's needed.

That easily?

Are you sure?

Some things yet I don't understand.

But Mexico City was already a lake.

Who do you think sent the water there?

The Mayans...

1,000 years before the Aztecs arrived.

What about the government's tube?

That aquaduct goes nowhere.

To Texas!

To sell the water cheaply to Americans.

As everything.

We must it.

We? We alone?

They're just a few workers with a crane...

on our side.

And I've got more people, armed.

Paid by the hotel.

That's why I was under surveillance.

The tunnel would take free water to the City...

and would stop the government's corrupt tube...

that goes to the U.S.

and ruin the local soda bottling companies...

and me.

The water tankers' thief.

What are you doing here, Daniel?

The architect without title.

- Weren't you buried? - What?

Do you know each other?

This is a small town.

We run into many women's trouble long ago.

There weren't a lot of hot ladies here.

Things haven't changed.

We're always after the same girl.

But this time I think I'll win.

No, no...

don't tell me that you two?

The two of us nothing!

What do you mean, nothing?

I came after you.

You didn't even know I was here.

You came for ego, for your obsession...

for your water...

for your weird bottles.

You're the love of my life.

You can't be such an asshole,

and so corny, meanwhile.

Take him away!

If you have time, while you chat...

and I cover your back...

tell your daughter...

how well I cook also.

Are you asking me to go to a revolution with you?

Do you have something better to do?

Grandpa!
