LA MODERNA PRESENTS

Good morning, it's Paula…

Yes, OK.

Hello?

Yeah, well I've been calling…

The others will also want to know
something about it.

But is this from
the other production company definitive?

And they weren't going to tell us?

No, yeah. Well, thank you very much.

Bye.

MATRIZ
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY PAULA FONCEA

Felipe Diego, 13.

Marina, I've been away.
Congratulations for your thing.

Who are you?

- Luis, from tech.
- Oh, thank you.

- Do you want anything?
- No, no, I just…

Oh, you're a techie.

Well, maybe we should rebel
against machines, offices, computers,

hard disks. Everything!

- Sorry, but I'm not following you…
- No, sorry you.

Why did you study journalism?

Because I didn't get into business.

So one day
you're going to run a newspaper.

Well, I hope so.
I'd like to have my own digital media.

On finance and technology, for example.

- How old are you?
- Twenty-eight.

And why do you like my work?

Because it's like the old journalism.

Basic, in-depth research,
almost as if you were a detective.

Look, lad, when I was your age
I was already a war correspondent.

I had to work about three times harder
than any guy your age, OK?

And twice as hard as anyone with money.

For me, this old and new journalism
sounds like a person

who sees things from the sidelines.

Here there are people who get involved
and people who don't.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Come in.
- Thank you.

Yes, close the door. That's the room.

- OK. Can I take a look?
- Yes, of course.

I don't know if you know the area,
but it's great.

- Yes, of course I know it.
- Ah, great.

The room doesn't have a window.

No.

But as it doesn't have a door,
the light comes directly from the kitchen

and it's spectacular.
You don't need a window.

OK. And it's 400 euros, right?

Four hundred and fifty.

- OK. With expenses included?
- No, the expenses are not included.

OK.

Well, I'll think about it
and I'll let you know, OK?

OK, well, we'd make a kind of contract.

A month's deposit,
a few things about the flat,

like no parties,
not bringing more than one person…

Well, to help out with the flat stuff.

OK, great. Well, thank you very much.

In your profile it said that you liked art
and all that, didn't you?

- Yes.
- Well there's a film library nearby,

there are plenty of theatres,
and everything is close, very centric.

- Yes.
- It's great.

Fantastic.

Well, let me know, Ca… Car…

- Carlota.
- Carlota, right. Carolina, Carlota…

Let me know as soon as you can.
There's other people coming to see it.

- Sure, it flies.
- Yes.

OK, great.

- Help yourself.
- OK.

- OK, bye.
- Bye.

They had been walking
in silence for a long time.

Suddenly, she stopped,
looked at him and said:

"Expectations are never fulfilled."

End of the first chapter.

Thank you, Ainhoa Gabilondo,
for sharing your wonderful work.

If you haven't read the novel,
it's from the beginning,

undoubtedly brilliant.

Now to the second prize-winner,

Jano Díaz Cals, and his story
The Contemporary Demisexual.

Thank you.

Hello!

Hi!

- How are you?
- What's the matter? How are you?

Well…

better than when I wrote to you.

Here's Gala.

- Gala! There you are!
- She came to say hi.

I've been thinking
I have family, a house.

Well, I don't know how
I'm going to pay for the house.

- But I'm alive, right?
- Of course.

These are small problems,
and it's OK, right?

Well, it's a problem,
and you have to get through it.

But you have family, a house
and everything, of course you do.

- Of course you do, Paula.
- Shall we go out later?

- For a beer?
- Please.

- OK. And dancing?
- Yes.

That's my Paula!
Do you know the best part?

- What?
- You won't believe it.

What?

- That I'm back.
- You're so silly.

- Beer?
- OK!

It was fantastic.

- A very timely coup, yes.
- You liked it?

- It was by chance.
- Yes.

A friend of mine had a friend
in an animal shelter,

and I pulled the thread
and the whole thing came out.

I'm delighted.
It's as if I've known you all my life

with everything you've told me and read.

Sorry, I'm interrupting you.

What we came here for, the premises.

Yes, so, as I told you,

the newspaper is going to be
financed by the paid-up members and…

You know,
it's been difficult finding you.

We're on familiar terms.

It's not that I didn't want
to give up on the place, you can imagine.

But I wasn't going to go
back and forth from Barcelona to show it.

Thank you so much for coming
and taking the time.

You're very welcome.
I'm delighted, really.

And I think we can do without
the real estate agency, don't you think?

Thank you very much.

- You're welcome.
- Also from Clara.

Tell me more
about the newspaper, I like it.

Well, we're going to open with a scoop

that the newspaper I work for doesn't…

take risks with this kind of news.

- Because it's political.
- Exactly.

- International?
- More like national.

Are you sure you want
to rent us the place?

Yes, of course. I'd be crazy

to be afraid of freedom
of the press now, for God's sake.

And also, I really like what you do.

That's what the premises are for, to…

to rent them for good causes.

Look, I'd like to ask you
a more personal question.

- You're oceanographer, right?
- Wow, what a good journalist!

Yes. I also had my difficulties defending
the sustainable development of the oceans.

But well, Marina, if I start with this
I won't stop, eh?

With this
we're going to have a new account.

Great.

I don't know if I told you
that the Promtex resolution is out.

3,600 millions to the tax office.

Oh, wow.

It's going well, but it hurts.

It's a high amount to pay
to the tax office.

But the important thing is to be committed
to the values of this company.

They are good customers and we have
something unresolved with them.

What do you mean, unresolved?

Well, you know, some going-ons.

- The usual.
- Uh-huh.

I think the man didn't know what to expect
because of the look on his face.

And the lady who said to him:
"Vicente, come here,"

And the man fell down in the front row...
Oh, my God!

What a disaster.

But hey, yes, I quite liked it.

- You liked it?
- Yes.

Didn't I speed up a bit?

I think that when someone says
out loud something

they've written, which is
intimate and personal, it's complex.

Yes, a little bit.

And imagine
with an audience like Mr. Vicente.

Yes, very demanding.

I would have really liked
to tell you that…

It's OK, you arrived late.

- Just a little bit.
- How nice.

- I'm sorry.
- It's OK.

Maybe you think it's a bit bold,

but I'd love to read it,
I mean, if you feel like it.

Yes, sure, I have a copy here.

- Really?
- In exchange for yours.

OK, perfect.

Thank you very much.

- Do you have your mail for…?
- It's there.

- Sorry?
- It's there.

OK, great.

I'm leaving this way,
I'm going to take the subway.

I have my motorbike near here, so…

- See you soon.
- Talk soon, Jano.

Good to see you. Bye.

- I'm going to read it.
- OK.

- Great.
- Bye!

- She's on a gig in Lisbon.
- Oh, shit, that's right.

- Yes, she's very happy.
- I'm not surprised.

- We've talked it over.
- OK.

I'm sure she'll say no,
but we have to talk about it.

Look what happened
with the Mancebos and Santa Ana buildings.

- Santa Ana too?
- Yes, and Toledo and San Carlos.

- Everybody out.
- Bastards.

The only thing that saves us
is being owners.

And even so, it doesn't matter
if you've been here for 20 years…

But the important thing is that
we are all together in this, because…

if someone gives in,
they'll do anything to make us sell.

- And they do it, no matter what.
- Totally.

I don't know why
I have to leave my neighbourhood.

I have my studio here, I buy here,
I live here, for fuck's sake.

- But they don't care.
- Yeah, well, fuck them.

Money first.

- By the way, I've been talking to Eulogia.
- Eulogia?

- She wasn't aware of anything.
- Really?

We'll have to go with a little picture,
the two of us trying to explain it to her.

- Let's all get together one day.
- Yes, we have to explain her.

- With time.
- Yes, plenty.

- Time and patience.
- Yes, especially patience.

- She's so nice.
- Yes, she's very funny.

Anyway, I'm leaving, I have to go.

OK, rest.

You have to rest.

Yes, I have to rest. Take care.

Hey, and keep it up, huh?
They won't pass!

I think the only solution is to create
a movement for human liberation

to end apartheid in Palestine
without state intervention.

I don't care what country it is
because at the end of the day all they do

is intervene with arms.

- Yes, I agree.
- All countries use violence.

To me the analogous seems
a jurisprudence of the struggle,

I'm telling you. And anti-racism
and feminism become sisters.

- I truly think it's like this.
- Yes.

I'm taking the book Las Damas Justas.

OK. Read it, don't be in a hurry
to give it back to me.

If you want to understand me, do so.

OK? Because…

I'm just telling you to take care
of yourself, to have the tests done.

They're telling you it can happen again.

I don't know. Just do it.

Calm down and think about it.

Imagine you have another episode
and you have to be admitted.

What's the point of all this?

Look… I love you so much, I really do.

And you're doing a wonderful job.

But imagine you get admitted again.
What's the point?

What are you a neoliberal?
It doesn't suit you.

You can't work like that, Marina.

I've worked feeling worse.

It's getting a bit out of hand, honey.

I'm serious.

Please.

Why are you treating me
like a little girl?

- I'm not.
- Yes you are. As if I were useless.

- I'm not treating you…
- And we're here…

And everything we've achieved
is because of me.

Excuse me?

Look, I'm going home. OK?

I have my phone on, if you need anything.

If I go back to London I'm sure
I'll just be there doing nothing.

And I don't want to go back
to washing dishes, I don't.

- You're not doing dishes again.
- Fourteen hours doing the dishes.

I'm sure you have an audition soon
and you don't know about it yet.

I wish. But here or there?

Don't get ahead of yourself.
Plus you've saved a lot.

Yes, first time ever.

It's wonderful.

But even if I have saved, comparing
Madrid to that, wonderful, but no…

Even if I've saved, I can't afford this.

And how can I provide for you?

Don't you think
you're getting ahead of yourself?

You've come.
Stay with us for a while, enjoy yourself.

You haven't been in Madrid for a while.

Together.

Yes, that's true.

Do you remember when you were on your bike
and you went into that van in Atocha?

Yes, I remember, in Atocha.

You remember, right? What did you say?

That you can't ride a bike in Madrid
with the taxis, buses, all the cars…

They overtake you like this,
very close to the handlebars.

OK, but the other thing you said.

That you shouldn't be stressed out.
That it's not worth it.

- That you were very stressed out.
- Yes.

There you go. Besides, Paula,
you're a very good actress.

- Thank you.
- You're good. They're going to call.

If it's not them it will be others.
But they'll call.

You know it doesn't depend only on that.

Well, yes, but I'm being negative.

- I'm being negative.
- You have every right to being negative.

- But my mission as a friend…
- Is that everything is fine.

- Exactly.
- Great.

- And we'll bury the body together.
- Wonderful.

Oh, by the way, the flat!

- The flat, yes, I went to see it.
- And?

- It was a disaster.
- What was it like?

The flat… I get there,
a very fake girl opens the door.

- Yes.
- She looks at me from top to bottom.

And she says:
"Come in, I'll show you the room."

- Do you know what the room was like?
- Tell me.

- Without a window.
- Oh!

- How much?
- Four hundred plus expenses.

Well, not even for a hundred…
What a nerve.

And she says: "Since you like art,
there are theatres, and a film library…"

So that you're out of the house all day.

- I don't like the light, but I like art.
- Of course.

- It's so good to see you. Thank you.
- Oh, darling.

My phone's ringing, just a second.

- It's my mum.
- Give her my love.

Mum…

What are you doing?

Keep away.

Leave us alone, for fuck's sake.
