Teenagers have a naive concept of relationships.

Naive?

Don't you get good grades? Look it up on Wikipedia.

- I'm tired of your way of... - Of what?

Of being a couple!

- I'm in love with you. Don't you understand? - Joan!

What's happening?

You have forced me to do things that don't suit me.

If you didn't want to...

The worst thing is that I'm like you.

If it were up to her, I would get married tomorrow.

Of course, she's obsessed that you're a virgin, right?

Are you an idiot?

If you want me to forgive you, it will be on one condition.

Don't hook up with Berta again.

You like Berta?

Don't ask.

Why don't you admit that I'm the best teacher you've ever had?

Because I don't think so.

Why don't you stay in Rome?

There you will be Bruno Bergeron.

Here you're Merlí's son.

I don't want you to leave.

You know that I say many things when I'm angry,

but I only think a few of them.

I just want you to be happy.

Dear peripatetics,

I'll tell you a story.

because I know you like them a lot.

Right, Ivan?

A wise master and his disciple were walking through the forest

when they saw a wooden house.

It was a house of very miserable, decadent appearance.

And a very poor family lived there.

They were barefoot and dressed in ragged and dirty clothes.

The master asked the father of the family how they survived in these conditions.

And the man said:

"We have a heifer."

"A heifer that gives us milk."

"And with that little money we earn from the milk, we keep going."

Well, when the master and the student left,

the wise man ordered his student:

"Kill the heifer."

The student, without knowing anything clearly, went to find the heifer,

and threw it down the cliff.

Dead.

A few years later, that young student returned to the house

to apologize to the family.

And he saw that the house was no longer a cottage.

It was made of bricks. The family dressed in quality clothes,

And the garden was taken care of

with many plants and flowers.

And the father of the family told him:

"We had a cow that fell down the cliff."

"As our lives depended on it,"

"We faced with the need to do other things."

"And gradually, we moved on"

"And we discovered skills that we didn't know we had."

"Thanks to that, we now live more comfortably than before. "

The story is over.

Tania, put out the candles, please.

Did he tell you?

The Chinese word "Tao" means "path", "road".

Taoism is the philosophy of life based on the book "Tao Te Ching":

"The book of the road and virtue",

in which the tradition attributes to the Chinese thinker Lao-Tzu.

Tao Te Ching... Lao-tzu ... chang ... Puang!

I don't understand anything.

In Taoism, the world is not something separate from us,

which we have to dominate or control or subdue.

No, Lao-Tzu said:

"I don't need to leave my house to know the whole universe."

For Taoism, the art of living is more like sailing than in war.

For example: you have to know the winds, the tides, the currents of the sea...

According to Tao, it consists of trusting in the course of nature and the universe.

Taoism therefore starts from this basic premise:

If you can't trust the universe, you can't trust yourself.

Come on, I trust in the universe a lot, you know?

Lao-Tzu says that you have to take risks.

This is important.

If you don't take risk, you won't have freedom.

But attention, this is not a freedom of choice between two or more options. No, no.

It is a freedom that involves a bet.

For Taoism, a truly free choice is what sets our own existence into play.

I like it.

All this is much like... spiritual, isn't it?

No, there's nothing spiritual about it.

Deep down, we all have a cow that gives us something basic,

a kind of refuge, that makes us live with the routine...

which makes us dependent.

Each one has their heifer.

For some the heifer is the job.

For others, it's their other half.

For others, it's the family.

And for others, it's the place where they live. Right, Bruno?

If I stayed there to live, yes. But I'll come back after Christmas.

I know, I know. But to me, it's an eternity.

So?

What about you? What is your heifer?

You were about to say it.

Yes, I know. But I don't understand why you don't want anyone to know that you're going to live in Rome.

Dad, I don't want anyone to know.

Then it would be fucking great if I told your Rome thing to illustrate the story of the heifer.

But in your case, it's not that you had to kill the heifer,

It's that the heifer has agonized with you.

Fuck, you crushed it alive and once it hit the ground, you killed it again.

Okay, what you've just said is funny.

- But... - It's okay, Bruno. Don't worry. I'll keep your secret.

I know that I always do what I feel like, but in this case, I took it seriously.

Don't you think you should say goodbye to your classmates?

Dad...

Okay, I'll shut up.

I want to do it my way.

Only Tania knows.

You won't tell Pol, either?

Bruno, I don't want bad feelings, especially, before you leave.

I want you to go happily.

I'm happy.

Perfect.

I'm going...

I'm going to go to Latin class.

Ah, yes, yes, very important...

"Senatus Populusque Romanus".

If you want,

we can do something.

Something? Like what?

Well, I'm leaving tomorrow night...

Yeah, you want to have a nice and emotional goodbye, right?

I don't know, I don't know. It's not necessary, right?

- I'm not going to get sentimental, Bruno. - No, me neither.

I'm going.

"Pecuniae"

"Numerat".

Here the genitive is partitive.

[Pol: Are you still mad? A) No. B) Yes, but I forgive you.] Here the genitive is partitive.

This means that it takes only one part. [Pol: Are you still mad? A) No. B) Yes, but I forgive you.]

[Pol: Are you still mad? A) No. B) Yes, but I forgive you.]

Okay, knowing this, how would we translate it?

"Argentarius" is... banker?

Very good.

"The banker... counts... a lot of money."

Okay?

[Tania: What do you like? A) Guys. B) Girls. C) Both.]

Mireia, the custodian told me you has left the copies.

Oh, darn!

Hey, can you stay for a moment? I need to make an urgent call.

- Okay. - Really?

Listen, Gloria will be here for a while.

Okay? I'm going.

From Latin and English, he has got good grades.

Yeah, but with Castilian and Catalan literature, his performance has dropped a lot.

A 5 and a 6.

They are not bad grades.

Merlí, other than the grades,

we came to...

- We want... - We want to know how you see Joan.

Anonymously.

I don't know. Like how you see him?

He seems to be worried.

I don't know if you know. But Monica broke up with him.

Yes, yes, I knew it.

Joan blames us for the failure of their relationship.

He came in the house yelling, saying that we gave him bad advice and that he would never confide in us again.

After what happened last year,

we have a hard time imposing ourselves.

Not so much.

- What happens is that we don't want him to become even more angry with us. - No, Jaume.

It's hard for us to impose ourselves. Let's say it clearly.

Yeah, but it's not that long ago, either.

We have seen him less communicative weeks ago.

It scares me that he hates us.

Don't exaggerate.

I notice it, Jaume, I notice.

I notice how he is distancing himself. I know something is wrong.

He speaks with different tone which bothers us.

Could you talk to him?

What with you?

- What with me? - I have good intention. And you answer me with private questions.

But you can say "virgin", like you know me a lot, right?

Oh, Tania, did you catch the thing with the genitive?

No. Do you want to review it together?

- Please. Fine by me. - Great, me too.

- Bye. - Bye, beautiful.

Fucking great.

- What? It bothers you that I made plan with her? - Yeah, right.

As if you were living together.

Listen, I didn't make plan with Monica today.

This afternoon, you and I study together, right?

- I'm fine with it. I don't know. - Seriously. Enough already.

I don't like it being like this, either.

- Don't you want to review it? Yes or no? - Yes.

Okay.

Pretty good, isn't it?

I can't believe it.

Tomorrow, you'll be in Rome.

Cool.

Cool.

Tell me when you get back.

What's up?

I'll live there with my mom.

Really?

Yes, everyone thinks I'll be back after Christmas.

Only my father and Tania know. And...

And now you.

Jesus, I can't believe it.

But, well, if it's what you want, I'm glad for you.

Thank you.

When you arrived, I was very bad.

I know, yeah.

If it were not for my father and you...

I would still be in the closet.

Thank you.

You have an awesome father, Bruno.

Yeah, very awesome. But when I ask to do something together, he ignores me.

Hey, don't complain, Bruno.

My family is so different.

Living with my mother is super complicated.

I would love Rome.

And why don't you look for another place to live?

You're 18, right?

I've been thinking that for days...

But I don't know how to say it at home.

Besides, my brother died two years ago.

Stop, stop.

But are you okay?

Yes, we only argued.

But you know that couples sometimes say things that...

What did he say?

It's just ... I'm ashamed to say so.

- He insulted you? - No, no. Don't worry.

- Do you want me to get you some coffee? - No, thanks.

What? You listening to the conversations?

Mireia...

- Maybe if I didn't listen to my parents so much... - Maybe if you stop thinking that everyone is wrong except for you.

But you have no idea how it was.

You're right and it's not my business.

But I know you a little, kid.

Look, your parents have asked me to talk to you.

They see that you've changed.

They're worried. That's understandable, right?

I also see you different.

I hear you talk and it seems as if you were hardening.

That also has its good part.

I'm no longer the one who raised your hand in your first class and said,

"I am very shy".

Do you remember what you told me?

"If you've raised your hand in front of everyone, you may not be that shy."

- I told you that? Not bad. - You were right, I'm not that shy.

Maybe I'm tired of being seen that way and I want to feel different.

I want to have fun.

I don't want to be the guy who's always at home studying.

I no longer want to be the shy nerd who keeps silent and wishes to be like the others.

Fantastic.

Since being the good guy doesn't sit well with you because you lost your girlfriend, you decide to take another road.

The heifer.

Taoism is a way of life that is like a way of flowing...

Everything flows, right?

Yes, you don't have to forced things and they come.

And you have to follow the path of the Tao without opposing it.

Cool.

Well...

All the spiritualism and life lessons are fine,

but how you explain it to a father of a family that earns 500 euros a month?

It's true.

- Friend... - It's a very good question.

Yes, I'll tell Merlí tomorrow.

Today, he didn't finish explaining...

- Do you hear me? - Yes. What? Tell me.

If you want to talk to him, go ahead.

No, I just looked.

There are a lot of handsome guys, Pol.

I know.

I think that you know.

Listen, Tania. Enough with that implication.

You know I was with Bruno.

But I like girls.

Or else, ask Ivan's mother, who was delighted with me.

All the girls that I fuck are delighted with me, even those of 40 years of age.

Dude,

you being cool is unbearable.

Girl...

No, don't call me "girl".

You're a fucking jerk who makes people see that nothing affects you and you never fall in love.

You, however, fall in love and don't fuck. I don't know what's worse.

What?

- You can fuck with me but I can't do the same to you? - Okay, you're right. Sorry.

Look, if you want, we'll talk about Tao.

Or English.

Or we can stop, whatever you want.

- Tao. - Perfect.

I think Lao-Tzu was a guy who fell in love very easily.

Really? I don't think so.

I think there were many spirituality and cock, but he spent the day fucking.

And he came in and the house was very well-made of brick and such. Then he asked:

"If you were poor, how did you do it?"

And the guy said, "I had a heifer but she killed herself."

"And then..."

"We had to..."

Let him finish.

- He doesn't know it. - Shut up.

"And we had to move on to do other things,"

"And then we had to move on."

"And we discovered talents that we didn't know we had. "

- I told it better. - Shut up!

It's a beautiful story, Gerard.

Very beautiful.

It turns out that everyone has a heifer.

And I have thought that...

Mine was Oksana.

We're not dating.

No.

No, it's her who decided to killed her own heifer by leaving you.

It means I was her heifer?

Exactly.

Well, I guess it's also good to stop being a heifer.

Yes, son, yes.

Hey, don't tell Gerard that Bruno's going to live in Rome.

No, I haven't said anything.

They suddenly leave me alone, dammit.

After Christmas, my mother will go to Madrid and go on tour around Spain.

Oh, poor thing, you'll only have me.

I want to make a gift for Bruno for the trip. I want to buy something.

You mean a gift?

- How about having dinner together? - Come on, dinner?

Like we're two friends?

Oh, what nonsense, Merlí.

I have had dinner many times with Gerard.

Forget it, Gina.

We're different. We have dinner at home, Bruno and I.

I don't know. It will be the last night.

- A gift is a bit boring, isn't it? - Boring? No, it's perfect.

I just have to fine something original for the trip,

which he can take to Rome.

Very good. If you have it so clear...

Of course I have it clear.

A special dinner, a special dinner!

A special gift, this I will do!

What?

Is it your gift?

Yes.

I thought it was Grandma's.

Fuck no! You think grandma will give you this?

No, it's mine.

Merci.

It's good. It has four wheels.

Cool.

Hello!

Hello, granny.

Look what dad gave me for the trip.

How original!

I have one, too.

What is it?

But I didn't spend much money,

It will be here tonight.

Since you won't be able to go to the premiere of "Time and the Conways",

I have prepared a small fragment... exclusively.

Ah, great!

Hello.

Hello.

Gee, I see you made yourself a hamburger.

I bought it.

Can't you see?

You didn't make potato with peas?

It's okay, Jaume. We'll eat it. Tomorrow, if he wants...

- I don't like peas. - You used to like them.

I don't like them.

I always thought that they are disgusting.

-That's why you eat them crushed.... - Now none of it.

Joan, go finish this in the room, please.

Ah, you kicked me out, of course.

A cheese burger can't be in the dining room of the Capdevilas.

But what have we done to you?

We feel bad because you're no longer with Monica.

And forgive us if we have given you wrong advice.

But we would like to see you happy.

Oh, Mom, do you see someone happy on the street?

In the agency where you work, do you see happiness?

Or you in your law firm?

To think that happiness exists is naive.

But before you came, I was having a good time reading the magazine that Uri lent me.

Why did I never have a skate?

Did you ask?

You could have given it to me when I was little.

When you were little? You're grown-up now, right?

I want to do things I didn't do before.

But rest assured. I will pass every subjects as always.

We don't care about the grades. We care about you.

Merlí has already told me.

But we're no longer close.

I don't listen to him any more.

It's okay now,

- Mark it, Enric? - Okay.

Done.

I'll hang it on the weekend.

Why don't you hang it now?

We don't have to be hurry, Ana.

I'll do it.

I feel like it. You want me to?

Really? Great, perfect, Oliver.

It's nice. It will look good.

Today you have more patience than I do.

It's because I'm better.

I understand mom. And I understand you.

Of course.

I'm glad.

We also understand that the situation at home wasn't easy.

Dad, I want to leave home.

I would like to go live alone.

And soon I will be 19.

Oliver, it's too soon.

And now that you're better, it's not the time to raise something like that.

- Especially knowing that tomorrow is the day Edgar died two years ago. - Dad, enough. Please.

Enough with making everything relate to Edgar in this house.

I can't take it anymore.

I need this now.

And I want to leave happily..

And I thought I could work on the weekends.

But I don't think I would make enough. So if you could help me...

We also helped Edgar. We'll do the same to you.

Of course.

But I think that it is a bit hasty.

And suddenly, not having any children at home,

- It would be hard. - I know, dad.

But it would be different with me.

You won't lose me.

And I would come a lot.

We'll see each other a lot.

And it seems to me that when we see each other, we will all be much better.

Will you come tomorrow?

And with shoes.

"That's what you think of me?"

"A bad mother?"

"You are selfish, children of mine."

"Because things have not gone like you wanted..."

"you turn against me."

"When you were children,"

"I was proud of you all."

"I was sure that we would turn you into admirable beings."

"I saw myself at the same age I am now,"

"Surrounded by you and your children..."

"Proud."

"Happy."

"And what happened?"

"I have a daughter as a school teacher,

"Resentful, bitter, aged before time."

"Another one who..."

"who is the most beautiful."

"But she is married to an insignificant imbecile."

"You, Robin, I'm sorry, I have to tell you, son,"

"Married to a woman whom you are unable to love."

"You've always been pretty useless at everything, son."

"And Alan."

"The oldest son..."

"whom his father hoped that he would become someone."

"And what are you now?"

"A miserable employee with no ambition,"

"Whom nobody would look twice."

"Yes, a miserable employee!"

"Come on, come on, Robin."

"You and I..."

"are going to talk like human beings."

Bravo!

Bravo!

I loved it! Thank you!

You sure you don't prefer the suitcase?

No way, granny. I love everything.

Attention to this concept:

Wu-wei.

You, make a "joke" with Wu-wei.

Do it yourself.

The Wu-wei is the way of life of those who follow the current of the Tao.

It is the attitude of doing this path with the least possible resistance.

This is important...

The force of will isn't what can help us break our comfort zone.

Remember the tale of the heifer?

To break the leverage and the comfort that the comfort zone gives us,

a genuinely free act is necessary.

Accept things as they may come,

not resist the path of Tao.

But Merlí, one thing.

All this oriental spiritual is very cool.

But how do you explain it to a father of a family that earns 500 euros a month?

Very good reflection, Tania!

Thank you.

You are absolutely right.

That man, who earns so little, would tell you:

"Tao? What are you talking about?"

It would be difficult to understand this lesson.

It is the problem to explain this spirituality for the West.

We think that we understand it. We even take its lessons as if they were a self-help manual.

But Taoism has nothing to do with it.

Taoism reminds you that right now you can say "enough" to the lover that you no longer love,

to the work you hate,

to all those who want to lead your life,

to all those fears that we have been instilled since childhood.

Because life is Tao.

It's the road that we are walking while we reflect.

Pol, did you just raise your hand?

No, it doesn't matter.

What do you want, girl?

What you asked Merlí is what I told you yesterday in the canteen.

Yes, but it's alright, isn't it?

How can it be alright? Can you steal an idea?

"Steal"? Really, you put it like that?

You think it's normal?

Look, kid. You know what?

I'll talk to Merlí and tell him I stole your idea and that's it.

No, it's not necessary.

But next time, watch out or I won't do review lessons with you again. Okay?

Okay, perfect.

But if I help you with English, I hope you don't steal any ideas of mine, okay?

This shirt is new.

Yes, it's cool. I don't know.

I'll meet my parents later.

I'll skip class.

It's good that your mother take it well that you're leaving home.

Yeah, man.

Now I need to tell my mom or else...

Of course.

Dude,

I don't want to act like I don't know.

This day two years ago, right?

I feel bad that you leave.

It was your idea.

It was a suggestion.

My father wasn't happy about it.

But in the end, he understands.

I envy him.

Really?

Although on a personal level, we have our differences,

I admit that he has a very particular way to connect with the students.

He fills classes with emotion and not everyone can do that.

He also makes a little mess.

Last year even.

He cheated on the literary contest.

I have been told the story.

The food collecting.

Yes, and the test he stole...

Eugeni's test?

I was told that Joan did it.

Well, it's done, right?

Yes, it's in the past.

Ah, I brought you something.

The conclusion of the research work.

Fantastic.

You got the perfect score.

If you want, you can have the pleasure of throwing it.

I won't be hard for me.

I find all of the things that this present repugnant.

Those who don't know it think it's history.

Fuck history.

I sincerely hope you are very happy in Rome.

Thank you.

I'll try.

Good luck, Coralina.

Is it true that you told the story of the heifer to the students?

Are you about to criticize me?

No, on the contrary.

I like the story.

A friend from Flagstaff told me a few years ago.

Flagstaff?

Isn't it that bar of country music?

Yes, you know it?

I've never gone there.

You dance country?

It's called "line dance".

What?

- Are you about to criticize me? - No, I find it curious.

Yes, I told them the story of the heifer because I find it interesting.

I see that many people, after hearing the story, have made important decisions.

They have left their job, moved to another house,

broken up with their other half...

And why don't you tell it in the staffroom?

You want Mireia to hear it?

No, no.

Yes, I want Mireia to hear it.

But it must be something organic.

With a certain naturalness, that no one will suspect anything.

Spontaneous ...

Yes.

Come on, don't make me laugh, Merlí.

Are you telling me that you tell stories to your students?

It's a way to approach them like any other.

Besides, you told me the story of the heifer at the beginning of the year. Remember?

Oh, yes. But the story is very interesting.

- The story is fine. - What is that story?

- Nothing, just the story of the heifer. - Tell us.

- No, I don't have time now. - We have to take advantage of that Coralina isn't here now.

- I have to leave now. Eugeni, tell them. - Me? No.

Don't make us beg. So I can tell it to my children.

That story is more for adults than for kids.

It's okay.

Okay.

The heifer.

A master of wisdom was walking with his student through the forest.

At the end, they saw a shack. It was night.

And they decided to go toward the shack.

In the end I found a florist who makes me the bouquet as I want it.

In Sabadell, they didn't listen to me.

It would make them mad if I chose it.

I remember when you went to the market,

you always wanted to choose the reddest strawberries.

Yes...

I stopped buying at many places because they wouldn't let me choose.

If I pay, I want to choose.

And if you don't let me choose, okay, but I won't buy anymore.

And you didn't come back.

Fuck them.

Dad says that you are leaving.

It's not like I'm leaving ... yet.

Maybe it will take time. I don't know.

But mom, I don't want you to be mad, please.

I'm not mad, Oliver.

I want you to be happy.

And maybe if we live a little apart from each other, we will feel closer.

- Oh, it has been very strange. - No, I've been through the same.

I want to be away to know that we see each other when we want to.

I thought you would be angry.

Lately, you and I haven't been doing well.

No.

- We've argued a little, yes. - Yes.

Losing Edgar made me go a little crazy.

I know. Me, too.

Mom.

I know we didn't get along well.

But I love you very much.

You can go ahead, Oliver.

Okay.

Dad and I will help you.

Okay? We'll look for a place for you to live.

- Right, Enric? - Yes.

What neighborhood do you like?

Oh, I don't know. Leaving now make me worry a bit.

What? You're having second thought?

- No... But, I don't know. - Mom and I have planned to put things in your room.

We'll put a piano in there.

You'll play again.

If the neighbors let me...

If they don't, fuck them.

I choose the flowers.

I choose the strawberry.

And I choose to play the piano.

I'm like that.

We're like that.

Why don't you come to the park tonight?

- With your dopehead? -Yes.

Hey, Bruno, you come, too.

But he'll go to Rome.

Jesus, it's today?

Yes.

Fuck, I was going to say "good luck with Roman girls", but I forgot that you're gay.

It's not something you notice.

Well, good luck.

I mean, have fun.

Take care, Gery.

Good luck.

Bye.

Bruno, can you give me the backpack?

Yes.

Thanks, handsome.

What about you?

You really want to go, huh, jerk?

Yes.

You're lucky.

I have never left Spain.

So boring, man.

I would like to go to Rome, Paris, wherever, man.

Well, I'm leaving.

You going?

No, chill. I'm going.

Fuck a lot, eh.

- Then tell me. - Yes.

Pol...

What?

No, just...

What about Tania?

Is she still mad at you for what you said?

Yeah, she's weird.

She gets on my nerve. If she doesn't teach me English, I won't be with her or anything.

Well, see you after Christmas.

Yes.

Coralina, excuse me.

No one taught you to call before coming in?

I have a dog at home who is more educated than you!

Goodbye, Berta.

Bye.

What are you smoking, man?

A marijuana joint.

Want some?

You have a good time, man.

I always see you happy, laughing ...

It's because of the joint.

No, man, no.

In class, you're always...

Fuck, you're never in bad mood.

However, what the fuck am I doing?

Everyday from home to school and from school to home.

I'm boring, man.

Monica told me. She's right about that.

It's all my parents' fault. They're fucking old-fashioned.

- Fuck the movie on Fridays. - The what?

Yes, on Fridays, my parents and I watch a movie then comment on it as if we were old people.

What are you saying? Can I come?

- I'll laugh my ass off! - I'm too good a guy.

Things don't go well with being a good guy your whole life.

Either you're a bit of a jerk or you do nothing.

Look at Pol.

Everything goes well for him. He has success.

- But Pol is the bad boy. - It's just... Why do I have to kill myself studying

If I can't go with the major I want?

From now on, I will have fun.

I won't think about stuffs too much which makes me look like a fucking psychologist. Jesus!

Come on, give it to me, Capdevila.

Don't call me Capdevila.

Do you remember when I was locked up at home?

Of course, impossible to forget.

Well, I thought a lot.

I was alone and I thought.

I didn't talk to anyone.

I went over the top.

I would have spent more time with you.

You did what you could, mom.

And you took a good care of me.

I think you're a good mom.

Pol doesn't have mom and...

I don't know. I think...

When he was with you, he was also looking for a mother.

To me, not having a father doesn't affect me. But...

I always wanted a brother.

Mom...

Tell me, son.

Can Oliver come to live with us?

No, then tell this producer that if he doesn't have the subsidy don't make the movie.

Come on, goodbye.

I love you.

It's outrageous!

This country...

I'll tell the youngsters who want to make movies: "Learn English and pack."

Are you folding Bruno's clothes?

I never do this.

But this time...

I do it for him.

What's wrong, Merlí?

Well, now you're saying it, yes, there's something wrong.

I saw you displaying your talent in front of my son,

Satisfied with the interpretation ...

And you were looking right at me out of the corner of your eye.

Presuming it's the lesson you gave me.

The lesson titled: "I do say a nice goodbye to Bruno".

Oh, how twisted.

I forgive you because I am just like you.

Bruno told you to do something together, and you said no.

With this you are only saying that it is difficult for you to face your loss.

My loss! My loss!

- I'm not losing. - You're losing him, Merlí.

A few months ago, you were living together. Now you're losing him.

Your son is leaving, Merlí.

Now that you're getting better.

The plane won't leave until 11 tonight.

You have all afternoon.

Take him somewhere.

What do you want me to do? Where do I take him?

Merlí Bergeron.

Aren't you creative?

Think.

No, that's "present perfect".

Sure?

Kid, I know a little. That's why I'm here, right?

Don't talk to me like that.

Ah, sorry, I don't know.

No, what the fuck is wrong with you, Tania?

You weren't like this before. You're weird.

I told Bruno this.

You told Bruno that I'm weird?

Why?

Because it came into the conversation.

- I don't understand why it came into the conversation that I'm weird? Weird what?

- I can't tell you anything, Tania. Jesus! - I don't understand why it came into the conversation that I'm weird? Weird what?

- I can't tell you anything, Tania. Jesus!

You're like... brave.

You dare to say things you didn't say before.

Before you stayed silent. Now you don't.

I don't know. I'm tired of arguing with you every now and then.

It doesn't matter. Let's leave it here. You don't understand anything about English anyway.

There you go.

You're a bad teacher, Tania.

Fuck, you don't have patience. You know that English is hard for me.

Okay, leave me alone. It doesn't matter. Leave. Go home to Bruno and criticize me.

- "Jesus! Pol is..." - Pol, shut up!

It doesn't matter. It's better that I leave.

Pol?

What?

Bruno is leaving.

Yes, I know that he's leaving. He'll be back. Let him have his vacation.

Vacation?

Where do we begin?

The witch train?

What?

There is no witch train here, dad.

Ah, the plane, the plane. You loved it when you were little.

Yeah, especially when you sneaked in.

- You embarrassed me. - It's different now.

Take this.

No, thanks.

You don't want it?

What are we going to do now?

With those lollipops?

I don't know.

You want them?

Take them.

There.

I only have two. But down there they are giving free lollipops.

Down there, free. Free, girls. Free lollipops, there. Go!

In this country, "free" is a magic word.

Bravo!

["Count on me" by Txarango] ["Compta amb mi" by Txarango]

Count on me when the days are rusty.

And when the fog mists up the windows of your dreams.

When you don't find them, count on me.

You and I

in an icy city

melting the snow inside your sheets.

You and I,

until your wings heal

I'll be here chasing away your nightmares.

You and I

Until your wings heal,

I'll be here chasing away your nightmares.

You have invited me to come.

It took me a while...

No problem.

- Hey, you want to dance? - No, no.

I'm not good.

You dance well.

It relaxes me a lot, after school.

I would calm myself, too... but with other things.

All good, Mireia?

The heifer.

Take it.

It's time for me to take care of myself.

Come.

No, no.

Next summer, when I finish the tour, I'll see you in Rome.

Okay.

Go, go, go!

Well...

Nothing.

Not nothing.

Many things are waiting for you.

Yes, of course.

Yes?

Yes, I'm coming down now.

Thank you.

The taxi.

Go. Don't make him wait.

- You sure you don't want me to go with you to the airport? - No, no need.

Whatever you want.

When you arrive, send me a message.

Yes.

Bye.

Bye.

What?

Dad...

You're the best teacher I've ever had.

Hey.

What?

Good.

Talk on Skype?

Of course, silly.

Hello.

I'm scared.

I would stay there.

Yes, man.

Sorry.

Sorry? Why?

What?

You thought you could go without saying goodbye, idiot?

Take care of yourself.

Okay?

Yes.

Come on.

Beat it!

That's it.

Yes.

What are you going to do now?

I'm... I'm going home now.

And you?

Me, too.

See you at school?

Come see me in my office later.

Why?

Did I misbehave?

We have to talk about a stolen test.

Oh, good.

I can't find my cellphone.

Someone took it?

I left it here in the break and now it's not here.

What are you saying?

I swear I didn't take it. I'm fucked here.

Luck won't last forever.

Those who have a fantastic body will age.

And those who have power will someday die alone.

But now you have a great luck to have me as your teacher.

Well, Merlí, give us an idea to hold a party tonight

without spending money.

Jesus, it's tough.

I don't know. I don't know.

Really, it's not bad, huh?

Are you crazy?

No, really.

- Are you hit in the head? - The idea is exciting.
