Okay. You got this.

You got this. You're almost there. You're doing great.

Come on, I see the head. Keep going. Just a little harder.

You're so close. Come on!

Tell the OR to get ready for a Cesarean.

Come on, let's go.

Come here.

Oh, my sweet angel. Hey, sweetie.

Oh, you're beautiful.

Hello.

Oh, hey, angel.

I love you.

Hello, my baby.

Natalia is here. She's excited to meet little Nico.

Here.

All right, perfect. All right, describe this image.

An amulet or...

is it a goddess of fertility?

Or a sturdy woman?

A mother?

Venus of Willendorf.

Over more than 20,000 years ago,

all the way in the Paleolithic era,

these great figures were not fetishized.

No, these women had such an important function as our mothers

and also our protectors throughout history.

They weren't only in charge of feeding the children,

but they also protected and preserved,

to ensure the survival of our species from any peril.

In China, 4,000 years ago,

the skeleton of a mother protecting her young child against a large tremor,

showed us a very fascinating theory that considers

the everlasting bond that is shared between a mother and her children

as the primary cause for society as we know it today.

In other words, it is the love of our mothers

that has made us the empathetic human beings that we are today.

Our species needed to stop being nomads.

Meaning this love helped us evolve.

A Russian poetess once said

that the love of a mother is like a scorpion's tail.

Flexible.

Precise.

And full of poison.

Poison is a powerful love.

Relentless. Unique.

I'm asking you again, what do you see here?

Coming, coming.

In this picture, I see the origin of it all.

I see the magic.

The generosity... that is in the nature of all women.

Because without their protection, we all wouldn't be here,

breathing.

Don't forget that.

Don't you ever forget.

All good, Aitana?

All good?

- I don't see the link to narrative class. - Oh, right...

How are you guys going to make movies if you don't know the real story?

Hmm?

I'll ask something that's a little personal.

How many of you here want to be mothers?

Hmm?

I'm asking, but you're not obligated to be one.

- Getting bigger every day, yes. - Lorenzo, play with your friend.

Mmm! He's already started eating eggs.

Did your pediatrician recommend that?

Oh, tell me his name. I might leave mine too.

Oh, he doesn't live here.

How about you send over your doctor's number though?

- You don't want it. - Mine.

Mm-hmm, but you decided,

uh, you're going to Cologne finally?

To Cologne? Oh, no, not a chance.

His boss won't let Ramón be transferred over here either.

- And he's not gonna get that job. No. - Hmm.

- Make plans for Saturday? - Okay.

I can't.

- It'll be this one's first birthday. - All the more reason.

Now we finally get to peruse your house.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, please, you don't trust us enough for that, huh?

She isn't serious.

I just have so much work. To be honest.

So we'll do my house, then.

God, this is not about anybody's house.

Gloria, the child's first birthday is a day that's very important.

- Mm-hmm. - But it's not like he cares.

Yes, but you always should have a celebration.

And children don't forget anything.

They even remember their mother's womb too.

Well, now, I wouldn't be so absolutely sure of that.

But come on, it's a birthday Hugo has to celebrate, so just do it.

Yeah, it's true.

- Okay. - Another margarita?

All right.

Uh, waiter, another round, please.

- Aitana. I should go. - Two more margaritas.

Uh, Lorenzo, careful, okay?

- Hi. - Hello, my dear.

So are we having lunch Saturday, huh?

- Okay. - At my place?

- Perfect. - You be good, okay?

Yes, we will.

It's so strange that she doesn't wanna celebrate it.

I know.

Doing fine?

Hmm.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

- Well, I've already fed him enough. - Lorenzo!

- Come here... - But he always asks for a bit more.

- Here you go. - Are you all right?

We are throwing, uh, a party for Hugo.

Oh! One-year-old, right?

Such a social life you have now.

Well, yeah. In Barcelona, your brother had a great social life.

And remember what happened?

Anyway, Blanca's right.

Not celebrating baby's first birthday is unusual. Everybody does it.

Well, I don't really remember my first birthday.

Well, yeah, but you were just a baby though.

It's at Alicia's house. It'll all go well.

There you go.

- I'm coming down. - Okay.

Why did you lock the door?

I sliced your fruit.

- I'm going to get a blanket. - When can I go out in daytime?

Why did I put in a lock?

Because the day is dangerous. The night is much safer now.

Abel, things'll get better soon. They will.

Leave them on the ground.

The garbage workers will come collect them.

Oh, thank you.

- You're new here, aren't you? - Yes, it seems that I am. Yes.

Uh, Caterina.

- A foreigner? Hi, I'm Blanca. - Uh, yes, yes. My pleasure.

- I also live on this street. - Her name is Ana.

Uh, who's Ana, honey?

- Ana. - Yes, my daughter.

- And how do you know that? - In the street.

- Yes, we live down the street. - Oh!

- We've seen you walking. - Saw me walking.

- Of course. - Yes.

- And you? - Yes, his name is Lorenzo.

Hello, Lorenzo.

You're such a handsome guy.

Yes, I always wanted a daughter, but... How old is she?

Oh, just four months.

Well, you're gonna be great here, right, Lorenzo?

- Yes. - Madrid is beautiful.

But this neighborhood in particular is peaceful, you know?

Big enough to get lost and small enough to find yourself.

Oh, the real estate agency told us the same thing.

- Oh, honey. Honey, come here. - Hey.

Look, our neighbor is here.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hi, I'm, uh, Germán, nice to meet you. - Hi, I'm Blanca.

Oh...

And this is my son Lorenzo.

Hello, Lorenzo.

High five! How are you?

I'm great.

And so you know, I'm a great guide to Fuente del Berro.

- Oh, yeah? What's your word on that? - No.

- What a funny guy. - "No."

- So do you like coffee? - Me?

I do.

Too much makes her go a little crazy and squirrelly.

Well, tomorrow we'll go get coffee.

- At the best spot. My treat. - Okay.

I'll get you up to date.

- Could you introduce us to some friends? - Of course.

- Okay, thank you! We can't wait. - Goodbye!

- So long, Lorenzo. - See you, Lorenzo.

I'll hold him.

- He hasn't stopped crying. - Hey, little guy.

When he gets like this, I know just what he needs, right?

His teeth hurt.

I think he's hungry.

It's his teeth that hurt. I told you.

I'm sorry.

But you were identical. Identical.

That's how I know it's your teeth, right, my love?

You told Abel you're having a social for Nico?

His name is Hugo.

In and out of this house, his name is Hugo. We clear on that?

Besides, it's not a social.

I have to do this to avoid looking suspicious.

I wish I could plan parties so I wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Why don't you join, then? Hmm?

And you could socialize, if you're interested in it.

No, thank you.

All right, listen to me.

It's just Blanca is a social hurricane. There's no way to shut her up.

The only choice you really have is say "yeah."

You can't make excuses to that woman.

It's the only thing I could do.

He's locked inside.

Abel? Yes, he's locked up. I was just worried, that's all.

And I didn't want him to do anything crazy.

But, well, look, it's nighttime. You can go bring the key.

And tell Abel he's free for now.

My love!

It'll get better in Canada.

I promise you, it'll get better.

I'm sorry. Are you fine?

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Sorry, it's just really dark, man. I didn't see you.

Are you hurt?

No.

- Are you sure? - Yeah, I'm sure.

If you want, I'll walk with you.

Well, I'm sorry.

The ideology of Soviet cinema had a very clear mission.

And it was to show a revolutionary cinema,

through and for the revolution.

At first sight, it may seem like it's a boring period,

because there is no fantasy, and there was no place for fiction here.

But to me, it is a very interesting period in film history because...

Okay.

Hey, where did you come from?

Hey!

Hey!

Come back! Wait!

Lorenzo, play over there.

But don't go too far away, okay, my love? Mommy has to see you.

Mommy must see you.

As I was saying, we don't have any news yet.

And Pedro is pretty sensitive.

I don't blame him. All this bureaucracy is absurd.

What's this about, girls?

We won't be able to celebrate Hugo's birthday at our house.

Gloria, I'm so sorry.

Well, how about we have the party at my house?

Ah, amazing!

Welcome to my house.

- Are you sure? - Don't worry about it.

I know he'll forget this, but it'll be fun for all of us.

I think this deserves a celebration!

- César, same as always! - Oh, and appetizers.

- Yes. And bring an appetizer. Oh! - Of course.

Caterina! You're here just in time for my favorite margaritas.

Four, actually, César.

Tell me you aren't still breastfeeding.

No, no, no. She never really did, actually.

Ladies, let me introduce you to Caterina. This is Alicia and Gloria, my friends.

- Nice to meet you, Caterina. - Oh, you too.

- Your name is beautiful. - Yeah.

Do you know the meaning of it?

Uh, no. No.

Purity.

- Ah. - It's such a beautiful name.

- Your margaritas. - Where are you from?

Well, a little bit of everywhere. My father's a diplomat, so...

Gloria is also new. She's been here for three months, right?

She's so beautiful. She's more like you, huh?

Really? I don't think so. I get worried that she looks different than us.

We even sometimes joke that she's, uh, just someone else's.

People say they change a bit, so...

Yeah, she will, like mine. Boy, did he change.

I still have unworn clothes of his that are lying around.

You know what size she wears?

Oh, uh, she's normal.

What do you mean normal?

Yes, she's... she's normal for her age.

Well, that size-for-age thing is a complete mess.

- Uh-huh. - Mmm! All the beautiful girls together!

- This is Aitana. - Hello.

- A new friend? - Hey, Aitana.

No, Aitana looks after Hugo.

- Ah, the au pair. - Hmm.

Hmm. Are you the mom of the kid's mom or the mom of the father?

- No. No, not his grandmother. - No.

I'm his mother.

Oh, so sorry.

Don't worry. When I met her, I also thought that she was the grandmother.

- And Aitana, the mother. - My goodness.

How dare you. You kept repeating that she looked like his grandmother.

- I'm sorry. Please forgive me. - No worries. We should get going.

Okay, but you really aren't mad, are you?

No, I have a lot to do.

I have to get prepared for Saturday.

You should really be quiet.

Well, I'm meeting Pedro. He should be done at school. A pleasure.

- Mm, by the way, Blanca. - Hmm?

Walking tomorrow, no excuse.

Okay.

- It's such a pleasure, Caterina. - Yes, truly.

Mm.

She wants to go for a walk because she says I sit all day sipping margaritas.

- I can help you drink them. - Perfect.

All right, all right, what do we have?

Hey.

- Did you find everything that we need? - Yeah.

- The balloons as well? - Yeah.

Ah.

But I think you're abusing our bargain though, you know.

Anything?

No, no. Nothing. Hmm.

Did you know that woman?

Woman?

The new one. She thought you were his grandmother, right?

- Caterina. Hmm. - Oh.

I don't trust her.

She gives me a bad feeling. She's from where?

- No idea. - Her accent was so strange to me.

But, oh well. Don't be worried. You're being even more paranoid than I am.

This is all just a lot for me.

And for me. So we'll work this out little by little, take it step by step. Yeah?

Yeah, but all of them here in the house?

Yeah. In our house.

I'm not trying to upset you.

It's just that you're always the first one reminding us to be careful.

Everything will be great. We'll celebrate his birthday Saturday.

And it'll all go well.

- Blanca. - Yes, who is it?

- Hey, it's Gloria. - Oh, Gloria.

I was just wondering whether you could...

Uh, what was the name of that girl who came to the park with us?

- Who? - The new one.

- Oh, yeah. Caterina. - Caterina.

Oh, she's so nice.

Yes, that's right. I was hoping she could come Saturday for Hugo.

Of course. She'd love that.

Nothing.

They could've just misplaced it.

No. The letter'll get here soon.

Mm-hmm.

Be right back. Come on!

You're skipping a "D."

No.

Listen to the melody, 'kay?

You give more priority to the right hand.

Watch.

Hey, move it.

All right.

You don't study here. Then you must think we're all dorks compared to you.

I'm sorry. I didn't try to show off.

No, no. Not your problem at all.

I just don't know why I do this. Well, I do, I guess.

So you don't like music, then?

I do.

But between Chopin and Nirvana, well, I can't make a choice.

A rocker studying in the conservatory?

This is all the idea of my parents.

Every family has an outcast now.

Uh, would you like to go to a party to play?

No, I can't.

But you don't know the date though.

Okay.

This Saturday, my house.

No, I can't. I have a birthday...

No, wait. Did I say Saturday? No, well, but Friday's the real party.

It's next Friday.

Now you're all out of excuses.

Yeah, well, I can't make it.

Uh, just wait, wait! Gimme a second.

Look, I'll tell you what.

If they start the piece with a cello,

then you're the winner. You don't come to my party, and you never see me again.

But if the violins are first, I win, and you come to the party.

Okay, but you could just be rigging this.

Hey, guys!

Have we ever met before? Have we ever seen each other

in the hallways of the conservatory or anything?

No, no, never.

Sound good?

- Okay. - What are we playing?

Uh, I don't know.

Yeah, I'm good!

No!

All right.

Ah, on Friday...

Okay.

Here. That's the address.

You'll be there.

I'm counting on you, okay?

I'm Marcos, and you?

Aitana.

Aitana, you play fucking great.

Hey, sis.

How was school?

Mm, good.

I wish I could go too.

Hey, have you talked to Mom?

Did you get hurt?

- Nah, it's nothing. - Let me.

I told her I need to get out of here during the day.

But you know she's still mad at me about Barcelona?

She shouldn't blame you though.

None of this is your fault.

Anyway, she's having guests over here.

- Really? - Hmm.

It's a party for Nico.

Hugo!

I feel like I don't understand anything.

Well, Mom knows what's right.

Oh, and by the way,

so in class, they put on a movie. One of those old ones you like so much.

- Really? - Mm.

The Exterminating Angel.

Oh, Buñuel. Haven't seen it.

Well, it's about a group of best friends

who gather for a fancy dinner at this house.

And this party's so much fun.

But when they wanna leave, they can't.

- Why? - They're not really sure.

Some unseen force is stopping them.

They are very afraid and frustrated.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Buñuel was such a bastard.

And they try not to go crazy.

I don't know how.

I guess it's the spirit of survival.

Isn't it pretty?

- Hello! - Hi!

- Hello. - Come in.

- Aww, come on, little one. - Do you need help?

- Yes, thank you. - You're welcome.

Ah! It looks wonderful. Okay, this is my husband Germán.

- Nice to see you. - How are you? All right.

- Gloria, right? - Yes.

- This is a present. - Oh, beautiful, thank you.

- Please, come in. - Oh, thank you.

- Oh, look! They're already here. - They're all here.

- Gorgeous house, isn't it? - Here you go, Lorenzo.

The most beautiful couple in the neighborhood. Hmm?

I'm sorry, but they're replacing you.

- Did you invite those two? - Yep, I was asked by Gloria.

It's important for us moms to be together.

- Hello, ladies! - Hello, everyone.

- Hi, there. I'm Pedro. - Germán.

- Nice to meet you. - You too. How you doing?

- Can you please water them? Okay? - How are you?

Hello, Germán. I'll introduce you to my husband.

- Hello. - This is Pedro.

Hey, how are you? Very good guy.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday, dear Hugo ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪

Yay!

- Yay! - One year!

I'm sorry.

Oh, blow these out. Go on, Lorenzo, you can do it.

Come on. More. Try harder. Ready?

Bravo!

Did he make a wish?

- What's your favorite animal? - I love ducks.

Look at you. You're so handsome.

Lorenzo wants to go see the ducks.

Oh, my. He loves talking about ducks. He has fixed ideas.

- Come on, Lorenzo. For you. - A soccer ball.

I had a duck that would walk with me to school.

- Oh, really? - Yeah.

Come on.

Until it got stuffed in 1978 by my mother.

Oh, Pedro, please don't say that so loud.

- The child will hear you. - Yeah.

I used to have a doll, and she would cry, so I would take care of her.

Oh, there's a mark on you, Gloria.

Oh, no, it's the... the rose hip for the Cesarean scar.

I'll wipe it.

There. I got it all.

I also had one. They butchered me.

- Was yours natural? - Uh, yes, yes, natural.

Well, that's why you don't wait to have kids so late.

'Course.

Oh, Aitana.

Could you get a knife? It's in the kitchen.

- Time to open all these great gifts now! - Oh, thank you.

So exciting. Okay, okay. Here I go. Let's open it.

Look, my love. Look, my love.

Oh, careful.

- Okay. I love opening presents. - Okay. Oh, oh.

Oh, it's beautiful. Oh, thank you, Blanca.

Let me see.

- "I have the best mommy." - Aww!

Aww.

I have the best mommy in the world.

The best mommy in the world.

The Little Lost Lamb. Don't think I've read this one.

It is precious.

I have to use your bathroom. Down to the left?

- Yeah. - Aww, what's wrong?

This stuff can be hard for her. Forgive us.

Ah.

- What's up? - Hmm?

It's a very somber story. The poor things wanna adopt.

- Ah. - She would be a perfect mother. I know it.

Lorenzo, come on over here now.

Who in there?

Who is in there?

Oh, what a beautiful picture.

I always wanted to take a picture like this with Lorenzo.

Why don't you take one, then?

How can someone like this come out of us?

- It's a miracle. Look, come here. - Yes.

This is where I work.

Needs work and some repairs, but I don't know.

I love it. It has a lot of light.

- Oh, wow, wow, wow! - Oh, wow!

Look at all these colors!

Lorenzo!

Lorenzo!

Lorenzo, come here! Apologize now!

Oh, Gloria. I'm so sorry about that.

Well, don't worry about it. It's just a little glass.

I have gifts for you all.

- Really? - Yeah.

- For you, Alicia. - Oh, wow.

- It's beautiful. I love it. - Here.

- You didn't have to. - I used the stained-glass windows.

That's marvelous, isn't it?

You really planned this out.

How nice.

MELILLA, SPAIN JUNE 1999

- I'm sorry for the short notice. - It's okay.

I don't think I'll make it to lunch.

- The consulate has all these formalities. - Don't apologize, please.

Well, if I don't get there, can you feed him the usual amount?

- Yes? - Yes.

Goodbye, honey. You're wide awake.

Bye.

I just need some things for my dinner recipe.

I'm thinking about making a salad to start.

Could I get three bell peppers?

And, oh, yes, please, can't forget about the onions.

Tomatoes and lemons...

He... hey! Hey!

Someone! Help me!

Anyone!

Thank you so much for everything.

See you tomorrow, Lorenzo. Have a good night, Germán.

- See you later, bye. - Good night, everyone!

Really nice to meet you, Pedro.

- We'll see you soon. - Of course.

- Good night. - Bye, Blanca.

See you soon.

Hey!

See that you bounced back, huh?

Yeah, I told you it's nothing.

I'm glad you're back. You skate around here?

Yeah, but I don't get out as much as I'd like.

I love the sport, but now I'm a little bit too old.

Now I run to work out.

What, are you far away, or do you live around here?

Because I just moved in.

My place is near here.

Awesome.

Gotta run.

Well, it's great to see you. My name's Germán.

Abel.

Lorenzo! Lorenzo, what are you doing?

Come on, you have to go to bed.

- Where are you going? - Ducks.

What's wrong with the ducks?

Will that baby never shut up?

Why don't you try the pacifier? Oh, look. Here it is.

What's wrong with my girl?

We have to tell the mother

that we're going to keep her for a few more weeks.

- That's it, sweetheart. - Right?

What? You're okay.

You just need a little affection.

Well, it wasn't easy.

Because God knows it took forever, but I think we found everyone.

Yeah, the mommy and all her kittens too.

It's over.

It's time to return that baby to its family.
