Mariana is not available at the moment.

Please leave your message and she will return your call.

Mariana.

Are you there?

Pick up.

Pick up the phone.

Mariana.

Please.

Mariana, can you hear me?

Don't leave us alone.

Please, Mariana.

Mariana. Pick up.

Are you there?

THE AUNTS

Do you like our new house?

Beautiful, isn't it?

Are you thirsty?

Come on.

Sit here.

Here, honey.

Look.

This is what will happen now, okay?

You will stay here.

Mommy will talk to the moving people.

There will be some noise and movement, but it's okay, don't worry.

So what do you say?

Will you help me?

Make some room over there.

Alright.

Put them over those boxes.

- Hello, madam. - Hello. Come in.

That box goes in the back.

Please try not to make loud noises that may upset my daughter.

Those plants go in the corner over there.

- Here? - Yes, they're fine on that table.

Let's get the mattresses, they're in the way.

STIMULATION KIT FOR LOLA

What about the mattress?

The mattress goes in the bedroom. It's that door on the left.

Sure thing, madam.

Take those chairs

to the same room in the back, please.

You got it.

You want these plants over here?

Yes, on the right.

Mate.

Give me a hand with these.

Hey, be careful.

You break it, you pay for it.

So?

Are you ready to see the rest?

LIVING OFF THE LAND. PLANT-BASED RECIPES

Lola, open up.

Honey. You're barely eating.

Eating well is part of your treatment.

What will Manuel say if he finds out you're not eating?

Go on, a little more.

I know all of this is new to you.

You miss the old house.

But look.

There are trees and flowers here.

You don't have to hear the noise of traffic all day long.

Can you hear the crickets?

I wouldn't have brought you here if I weren't sure you'd like it.

Remember I spent a lot of time in this house when I was a little girl?

I was very happy.

I'm sure you'll be happy too.

This isn't the right time to talk about that.

We're here. Everything's fine, so don't worry.

No, I couldn't tell you before. I haven't been checking my cellphone.

I told you. From now on, Lola will only use this phone.

I'll put her on.

Lola, it's your dad.

She can hear you now.

Hi, honey. It's Dad.

I miss you so much.

Welcome to the life you deserve. We'll talk tomorrow.

Okay.

There.

Come here, honey.

Would you like to tell me how you are feeling today?

Should we figure it out together?

Okay.

Nervous.

Surprised.

Happy?

Sad.

Would you like to choose a card?

Let's see this one.

Are you feeling happy?

Happy?

Not happy then.

Okay, let's see. Sad?

Sad?

Are you feeling sad, honey?

This is a new place, Lola.

But these exercises are the same.

Let's do a harmonization, okay?

How's it going?

- Great. - Really?

- We're adapting to the place. - Right.

It must be so emotional to be back here after so long.

- It is for me. - Right.

I already see your touch in the place.

We still have a long way to go.

So where is my favorite patient?

There she is.

Hello. Lola?

How are you? Doing okay?

How is your mom doing?

Is she giving you a lot of work?

It looks like the headache is gone.

I can tell her breathing's better.

I can already see the change in her.

How are the exercises going?

Very well.

It's easier to follow the schedule here, being focused on her at all times.

I thought that the tuning forks, well…

I'm sure she could actually

hold a note for a lot longer and much more clearly.

What did you sense in her?

Relaxation.

- And connection. - Right.

I can tell my girls are doing great work.

I know coming here was a big commitment,

but I can already see the rewards.

- It was worth the trouble. - No.

Not the trouble. It is worth the happiness.

What about her dad?

Has he come over?

He says he's too busy.

He's been offered a new position.

In Paris this time.

A lot more money.

So?

He says…

…he will only accept…

…if the three of us go.

Right.

So you haven't told him.

Never mind.

What's important

is for you to stop thinking about his needs

and focus on yours, okay?

Your life isn't all about Lola and Ernesto.

Did you set up your workshop?

- Want to see it? - Sure.

I got almost everything out.

- What do you think? Good, huh? - Yeah, it is.

- A few more details and it's done. - Right.

I can sit down and draw. I haven't done that in a while.

I like to see that you're happy.

I like that you're here.

It's a long trip, but it was worth the trouble, I mean, the happiness.

I can go now

and find comfort in seeing that you're both okay.

Specially you, Lolita.

When will you be back?

Soon. I'll try to come often, okay?

See you soon.

I've had an idea.

When I was your age, there were no cellphones.

We used to have a land line like the one in this house.

But I wasn't allowed to use it.

So me and Tere, my next door neighbor, we made this.

Our special wired intercom.

We set up the wire from window to window

and talked for hours. Sometimes I don't even know what about.

But we were still talking.

Want to try?

Sit here.

Mom calling Lola.

Do you read?

Would you like to try? Here.

Let's see.

There's really no point if we're this close.

But…

…what if

…I were your next door neighbor?

Hello?

Want to hear a joke?

How do you make a tea shake?

You brew it in a blender.

Mariana.

Are you there?

Lola?

Lola?

Did you say anything?

Did you speak, honey?

Look.

This is my aunt Liliana's stone collection.

My aunts were a little weird.

They were actually my mom's cousins but I called them aunts.

"The aunts."

When I first met them, I was a bit scared, but then we became friends.

The reason why I loved visiting with them

was that they let me play with this box for hours.

See how beautiful they are?

That was my favorite.

My aunt said it was magical.

She called it "the pure heart stone."

She said this stone glows bright when our heart is truly pure and true.

Want to see?

So? It doesn't glow, does it?

Only the owner of the stone can see it.

That's what Liliana used to say.

I once asked her to have it.

She said she would give it to me when I grew older,

if I kept coming to visit them and never forget them.

But the truth is that as time went by,

I would come less and less.

So we won't get to know if she really meant that.

Would you like to play with them?

Lola?

Are you okay? You need to use the bathroom?

Lola, are you okay?

Lola, are you asleep?

Let's get you back to bed, honey.

- Hello? - So how is everything going?

We're doing fine.

Listen. I won't be able to see Lola today.

I'm having some issues here at work.

Some other time then.

Can't we FaceTime?

- Ernesto… - Just for a second.

I'd like to see her. Please.

Manuel specifically said she shouldn't be exposed to cellphones.

All I'm asking is to see my daughter.

I should get at least that.

You said you'd be coming today.

But your job always comes first, doesn't it?

I told you I had that covered.

You said you wouldn't pay for that.

It would help a lot more if you trusted me.

Don't give me that.

You're the one who's wrong about this.

If you can't do whatever it takes to help your daughter,

that's your fucking problem.

But if there's a slight chance

that Lola will get better, however remote it is,

and that she will have a happier life,

I'm sorry, but I'll do whatever it takes to make it happen.

I'm not giving up on her, okay?

You're not listening, are you?

Ernesto, I…

I want a divorce.

I have to go. It's time for Lola's exercises.

Okay, Lola.

Open your mouth.

Lola.

Lola, please.

Goddammit.

Mom, why are you crying?

Lola?

What did you say?

Lola?

Are you mad at me?

Manuel, you won't believe this.

It's Lola.

She spoke!

The treatment is working. My daughter is speaking!

Just now.

I'm just telling you. I've just had a conversation with her!

Um…

No, you're the first one I called.

I'll call him right away. Let me call you back, okay?

Hi, Ernesto.

You need to come over right now.

Lola?

Lola.

Hello? Lola calling.

Hello? Lola calling.

I can't hear you. Speak up, please.

What are you doing, honey?

Are you playing?

I'm talking to my neighbor.

Is it Tere?

She hasn't told me her name yet.

Are you okay?

Yes, of course.

I'm just so happy to hear your voice.

Have you talked to my dad?

Yes, he's coming over to see you.

Would you like to call him?

What is it?

You don't want to see him?

I don't like it when you're fighting all the time.

You're right.

Grown-ups…

…try to do things right, but we're not always able to.

Your dad and I…

…only want the best for you.

But we don't always agree.

I promise from now on we will stop arguing, okay?

Don't make promises you can't keep, Mom.

- Where is she? - This way.

She's still taking her nap.

Are you ready?

Honey. Lola.

Hey.

Baby.

My princess.

Hey.

Daddy is here.

Did you miss me?

My princess?

- Lola? - Lola.

How are you?

Did you get some rest?

Remember how we were talking before?

Lola?

Your dad is here to see you.

- Don't you want to talk to him too? - Mariana.

Let's not push her, okay?

Let her speak whenever she wants.

- But she… - No, we shouldn't push her.

Don't worry. I can wait.

You should've put her on the phone when I asked.

I'm not giving my daughter a cellphone.

Don't you think you could've broken the rule this time?

No screens, no devices…

- No… - She looks the same to me.

I swear she's doing a lot better since we moved in here.

Okay, Mariana, I…

I only need to know if Lola spoke.

Or if it was your imagination.

What do you mean?

- Maybe you imagined it or overstated it… - I'm not crazy.

I didn't say that.

Who is it?

Manuel.

Hi.

- Hey, I was… Give me kiss. - Ernesto is here.

Let me say hello to my patient first.

How are you, beautiful?

Hey.

Your mom told me you have been talking a lot before.

That is very good news.

Okay, now. How are you?

- Fine. - It's been a while.

Okay…

Why don't we take this chance, now that we're all here,

to talk about how we're all connected.

Healing is always a combination of factors.

Okay? Some spiritual key was unlocked these past days.

We are fully aware that Lola can speak and communicate without difficulty.

We don't know that.

We do. I heard her.

My daughter doesn't make eye contact.

Not with me or anyone else.

All progress may take a step back. No one moves in straight lines.

Exactly.

Right, you have an answer for everything.

I understand your impatience.

I also know I'm not Lola's father

but I can understand your perspective.

And this impatience,

I don't think it's helping Mariana,

or me or you.

It won't help Lola either, of course.

Yes, I'm impatient.

I can't wait to know if there is a point to all this madness Mariana has made up.

My daughter is two hours away from me, three when there's heavy traffic,

and I can't even talk to her on the phone.

Ernesto.

Lola spoke.

Do you know how many parents would give anything to experience this?

I didn't hear her.

Are you implying I lied?

Then what?

Do you think this is all an elaborate act to take your money or what?

No, I know you're not lying.

At least about Lola.

Okay. Um…

I'll go back to Lola so you two can have a good talk.

That guy?

Seriously?

Manuel…

…supports me and believes in me.

He's a quack.

Not a thing he says is true. Can't you see that?

Thanks to Manuel, my mom had another whole year to live.

- She was able to meet her granddaughter. - That's not true.

It's not unheard of for cancer patients to get better right before the end.

My doctor friends told me that. I didn't want to tell you.

What happened to your mom was no miracle.

And let's better not talk

about what happened to your aunts after Manuel took care of them.

I'll say goodbye to my daughter.

Honey.

Baby, Daddy is leaving, okay?

I love you.

I love you so much.

So much.

Good night, honey.

I loved to hear your voice.

We can talk again whenever you want.

I'm sorry if you felt we were pushing you.

What happened with Ernesto?

I don't want to talk about that now.

I had a really intense day.

Right.

It wasn't a miracle, Mariana.

Lola will speak again.

You have my word.

Thank you.

Lola!

Hey!

What happened? Mommy's here. I'm right here.

Hey, I'm here.

Hey.

Come here. What happened?

What are you thinking?

Tell me.

Lola had never sleepwalked.

And it already happened twice since we arrived.

Both times in the bathroom.

She's going through a lot of changes, that's all.

I'd be worried if she acted always the same way.

Now, if Lola speaks again,

it would be good to make a record of it somehow.

I thought about it, but I didn't want to use my phone.

A few minutes in airplane mode should be fine, okay?

It's…

it's important that we prove this treatment is working.

Call me if you need anything.

- Okay. - Promise?

- I promise. - Okay.

One more minute and we'll rinse your hair, okay?

Tilt your head back.

That's it. Very good.

It's alright, we're almost done.

There. All done. You're alright.

So?

Won't you say anything today?

I know you can hear me, honey.

I know that you can talk and show your emotions.

But for some reason, you're not doing it.

Is it because of your dad?

Because you don't like it when we argue?

Is it because of Manuel?

I guess you must've noticed,

but Manuel and I…

…we're not together, but there's something between us.

And I'd like to stop hiding it from you.

I told your dad and he understood.

Alright.

Let's get you out of there. We have much to do.

Scared.

Confused.

Angry.

Would you like to pick one?

Come on, Lola.

Try a little harder.

You haven't done anything.

We need to do these exercises, honey.

They work.

Let's not give up, okay?

So let's try again.

No, honey.

You know this isn't good for you.

Come on.

This should give you some long hours of fun.

Can you be here by yourself for a while so I can work?

Lola?

How did you finish the puzzle so quickly?

I didn't finish it, Mom.

It wasn't me.

You're talking again!

You'll scare them away.

Who?

My friends.

There's no one here, baby.

They're gone now.

I told you you'd scare them away.

They don't like you.

Who are these friends? Can you tell me?

The aunts.

What aunts?

The ones living here with us.

Honey.

There's no one living here but you and me.

One of them has a twisted body.

She's in a wheelchair.

Her head is all banged up.

The other one is really skinny

and has blood in her hands.

She looks mean.

But she's only sad because she lost her baby.

Hi.

It's… it's Lola.

What is it?

The way I see it,

there's no mystery to all of this. None at all.

Look.

Lola is really fast with puzzles.

She has impressive focus.

Yes, but not like this. This was a new puzzle she had never seen.

Look at her.

From our point of view,

she seems to be in a different world, millions of light-years away.

But the truth is she's much more focused on the here and now.

A lot more than the two of us.

I don't understand.

What I mean to say is…

…everything that Lola

seems to know out of nowhere

are actually

things that she saw or heard and figured out

based on everything that's going on around her.

Manuel.

I never told Lola how my aunts died.

She had no way of knowing.

Yes, but you and I have talked about this many times, haven't we?

She may have heard us.

Stay with us tonight.

She might speak again some time.

Yes, of course.

I'm sorry.

I'm not in the mood.

Sure. Don't worry.

You know?

I feel like we should leave this house.

I don't know how to explain it, but I feel there's something off here.

- Your daughter's talking. - Yes, but at what cost?

There's something I never told you.

What?

Tell me.

Before Liliana killed Eugenia,

and then killed herself,

Eugenia called me in Spain.

There were two or three calls.

I didn't answer, I was too busy.

It wasn't after you phoned to tell me about it

that I found her message in my voicemail.

Eugenia sounded…

…worried.

As if she knew something bad was about to happen.

There was nothing you could've done.

You came to this house looking for something, didn't you?

Something that seemed impossible. But now it's happening.

There's nothing bad about this place.

It's you…

…the one who needs to stop resisting these changes, okay?

So? Did she say anything?

No, nothing.

But she looks fine to me.

I'll take this time to do a harmonization.

Let's start, Lola.

Manuel said he loved me. He loved me.

We made love.

I'm pregnant with his child.

What?

Are you telling me you believe this nonsense?

Okay, Mariana.

Liliana had schizophrenia.

- A mental illness that… - You never said that.

I didn't know.

Are you telling me, during all that time, she never came on to you?

The root of your aunt's delusion

was that not only me, apparently, but every man on the planet

was in love with her, and Eugenia conspired against her.

What about her pregnancy?

What about it?

She wrote that she was pregnant. That she lost her baby.

And that's exactly what Lola told me.

So now you're telling me that your daughter is talking to ghosts.

No, but…

Where did you find this?

It was in the stones box.

It had a false bottom.

Okay.

So that explains it.

Lola has been playing with that box all this time.

I'm sure she found the journal before and read it.

Of course she did.

When you moved to Spain,

there was no one to look after your aunts.

You begged me to come visit them. Didn't you?

And now,

after everything

that I've done for you,

for your mother,

you are trying to say I got your schizophrenic aunt pregnant

and then made her get an abortion?

Why would I ever do that?

Give me a break, Mariana.

- I'm sorry… - No, it's okay. I have to go.

Are you sad because you argued with Manuel?

Are you okay, Mom?

Yes, it's just that…

Why didn't you talk to Manuel, honey?

Or your dad?

Why didn't you talk to him either?

The aunts only want me to talk to you.

The aunts?

What are you talking about?

They say Manuel is a bad man.

They don't like that he's your boyfriend.

I already told you that…

Honey.

Did you find this?

Did you read it and then told me all those things?

No, Mom.

I didn't read anything.

Come on, Lola.

Go on, honey, say something, please.

Lola, what's wrong?

You always say that's not good for me.

Okay, but forget that now. Just talk.

I told you. The aunts only want me to talk to…

Enough!

Stop it!

There are no aunts, okay?

Stop talking about them. Can't you see you're driving me crazy?

I don't understand.

You wanted me to talk just seconds ago.

And now that I'm talking,

you don't like it.

Lola, I'm sorry about everything, okay?

I know this is hard on you, Mom.

Okay, here's an idea.

Let's put all of this behind us, okay?

Look.

Do you like it?

Can I have it?

Only if you talk to Manuel tomorrow

and your dad.

Promise?

Of course I promise.

What is it?

Nothing, Mom.

Good night.

Baby.

We have to go. Now.

Put this on.

Oh.

Come on. Let's go.

Come, Lola, let's go.

Get in.

Baby, I left my phone in the house.

Don't you move from here.

Lola?

Lola!

Lola!

Where are you?

Lola!

Lola!

Lola?

Lola?

Lola?

No, Lola!

Lola!

Lola!

Lola!

Lola!

Unfortunately, we found nothing after the search with the dogs.

Rain doesn't help in these cases,

but it's unlikely she ever got farther from this house.

In any case, we will keep searching around the area, okay?

Any news?

Good evening.

Yes, I was just telling your…

We've found nothing yet, but we will keep searching.

I just can't wrap my head around it.

How did she disappear?

Okay…

What we know so far is she left her daughter in the car

while she was getting her cellphone. When she came back, her daughter was gone.

That's not what you told me.

I don't know what I said, I was so confused.

You called from the bathroom

saying that Lola had disappeared into the tub.

I never said that.

That's what I heard.

No. Lola was taking a bath and left the water running.

That's why the floor is wet.

Then we got in the car

and she vanished.

Where were you going?

I already explained this.

We were going to spend some days in town.

In the middle of the night, Mariana?

Please come with me, sir. Let's go.

Please.

I'm Detective Ramírez. I have a few questions for you.

Okay.

We know your daughter moved into this house.

You disagreed.

Tell me everything what happened, okay?

Sir.

- Sir. - What did you do to her?

- What did you do? Where is my daughter? - Calm down, please.

You're accusing me?

What are you accusing me of?

Your daughter had to disappear so you have the decency to come see her?

Stop lying.

You called me and said Lola went down the drain.

Mariana, what did you do to her?

Did you drown her?

I didn't do anything, son of a bitch!

Calm down!

Please come with me.

I understand.

I'm waiting for news.

Thank you.

That's why I need you to tell me if you…

I'm not accusing anyone.

But my daughter's still missing and…

Hold on.

I'll call you right back.

I've just talked to Manuel. He asked for you to call him.

- So now you trust him? - No, I don't.

Mariana,

I just want to find Lola.

Me too.

I know. I know how important Lola is to you.

You're her mother.

You're a great mother.

But you've been acting very strangely, Mariana.

Manuel agrees with me.

I need you to tell me everything you know. I need you to help us.

I already told you everything that was to be told.

I know you're not telling me everything you know.

I know it.

I need to be alone.

I'm not leaving until you tell me every detail…

I need to be alone and this is my house, Ernesto.

I'm going to the police station.

I'll let you know if there's any news.

Mom?

Mom?

Lola.

Lola, are you there?

Mom.

Lola?

Mom?

Hello? Mom calling Lola.

Hello? Mom calling Lola. Can you hear me?

Mom calling Lola!

Lola.

Are you there?

Mom?

Lola! Baby, where are you?

They won't let me go, Mom.

They're lonely.

- They need me. - No.

Lola.

You need to find your way back.

You belong here with me, not them.

They're angry.

They want the life of the one who is to blame.

- No. - A life for a life.

No.

Lola, I don't understand. Lola.

Lola?

Lola! No. Lola, baby, answer me.

No.

Lola!

DEED OF TRANSFER OF LAND OWNERSHIP

Mariana.

Ernesto told me everything. I can't believe it.

But I'm here now, okay?

Thank you.

So where is Ernesto?

At the police station.

For all the paperwork.

He'll be back later.

You know you can count on me for anything you need.

I wanted to talk to you about yesterday.

No, that's not important now.

It actually is.

I wish I had understood sooner.

What are you talking about?

My aunt's journal.

What she wrote.

Liliana may have been insane.

But it was all true.

Okay, I know you're upset.

- But I won't go over this again… - You came into this house.

You earned my aunts' trust.

At some point you found out they had money in the bank.

Properties they had inherited from their parents.

I was away.

You saw a chance

and you decided to take it.

Do you really think I…?

You tried to have them sign a document.

So you could take everything from them.

Liliana was easy.

But Eugenia…

She didn't believe for a second that you were in love with her sister.

That's enough, Mariana, I…

I don't know

if you did get her pregnant.

But I know you left her when things got complicated.

Liliana blamed her sister as usual.

Because she didn't want to sign.

Eugenia tried to warn me.

She called me,

but I didn't answer.

You're losing your mind, Mariana.

How can you make up all that story?

Open it.

What?

Open it and tell me it's a lie.

Go on, read it.

- Mariana, this is… - That's what you tried to have them sign.

You would get everything.

This house. The money, all the properties.

Liliana did sign.

Only Eugenia was left.

- No, I would never… - What?

Am I imagining this?

They didn't have anyone!

You were on the other side of the world!

They needed someone to organize things for them.

They needed to pay for treatments, hire nurses.

I paid for everything myself!

You never answered their calls.

I never seduced your aunt

and I never got her pregnant.

And this?

This proves nothing.

I don't need proof.

Only retribution.

Mariana, listen to me.

Mariana, I…

Mariana, help me.

Help me.

Lola? Lola, are you there?

Where are you?

Let my daughter go, you fucking witches!

You've got what you wanted.

Answer me, fuckers!

I did my part!

What else do you want from me?

What else do you want?

Aunts' home number

- Hello? - Mariana.

- Mariana, can you hear me? - Who is this?

Marianita, why did you take so long to answer?

- Aunt? - I called many times. We need you.

Aunt!

What have you done with Lola?

Aunt Lili is not well.

I'm scared, Marianita. I'm scared.

I did what you asked for! I only want to see Lola!

You promised to look after us.

You went so far away.

- Aren't you listening? - You abandoned us.

Where is Lola? Where is she? All I want is to see her!

We need you here with us.

Mariana!

Mariana?

Mariana!

Mariana!

Mariana?

Where the hell are you?

Mariana?

Mariana?

Mariana?
