So

One more year

And one more summer

The last by your side

The sea breeze

Begins to dance

As if to tell us

September is here

I still don't know

What will happen

If I'll go back

Or if you'll be the one
who comes back

Which of the two

Will watch as the other fades away

We should do
as your dad suggested.

What?

The party.

What party?

The separation party.

What your dad is always saying.

That couples should celebrate
when they separate,

not when they get together.

Ah, that.

That's a load of nonsense.

That's something you can only do

when both parties are at the same point.

The same point?

Yes, like when...

two people decide to get married

but the other way around.

That's the idea.

That's it.

They separate to make things better.

Because they know
things can't continue as they are.

Both parties are convinced.

Are you convinced?

- Aren't you?
- No.

Well...

Yes.

Well, that's why I said it.

I don't know.

It was just a thought.

I've always thought
it could be a good idea for a film.

You know? It could...

work as a film.

But in real life...

I don't know.

It's starting to rain.

Do you hear it?

No.

There's going to be a storm.

Great, we needed it.

THIS IS

A FILM BY

DIRECTED BY

JONÁS TRUEBA

WRITTEN BY JONÁS TRUEBA,
ITSASO ARANA AND VITO SANZ

BASED ON AN IDEA BY

What are you thinking about?

Nothing. And you?

I asked you first.

I was thinking that
we won't all fit in the living room.

Yeah, I was thinking that too.

We can't invite our friends over,
we're always doing that.

You're right,
it needs to be that bit more special.

Especially if there'll be live music.

- Will you call them?
- Who?

Your mates from Granada.

I don't know.
We haven't spoken in ages.

Last time I spoke to Manu,
he wasn't doing great.

All the more reason.
He'll love the idea.

And I'll tell him we're separating
but that we are fine.

That we want them to play at our party
and that it's going to be great.

He'll love the idea, you'll see.

Okay.

I'll call him.

Go on then.

So this isn't just...

So, this isn't a joke,
we're actually doing it.

Of course.

Yes.

He won't pick up, it's Sunday.

Hey, mate, how are you doing?

I didn't think you'd pick up.

Great.

I was calling...
to see how you're getting on.

Yeah, I get that.

It's the same for everyone right now.

Yeah, not too bad.

She's good too.

Well, actually...

I was calling because
Ale and I are separating.

Yes, we're going our separate ways.

We're separating.

No, it's not a joke.

But we're fine.
We're doing great.

No, it's something
we've decided together...

I'll put you on speakerphone.

She's with me now.

What's this he's telling me?

Hey, Manu. How are you?

Hi. What is he on about?

Well, yes, but it's not a big deal.

We're great.
That's why we're calling you.

Exactly. Don't worry about it, okay?

We're calling to tell you
we're having a party.

That's right, a party
and you're invited.

What do you mean, a party?

We wanted you to come
and play with the band.

What band?

We haven't played in 15 years.
We're more rusty than Robocop.

This is your chance
to get back together, for us.

Exactly, for us.

What the hell?

It's a great idea, isn't it?

I think you're nuts.

Not at all... it's a lovely idea.

Imagine it: the band back together

celebrating love, friendship.

Love? What the hell?
Did you bump your noggins?

- Our noggins?
- A blow to the head.

You've completely lost it.

No, not at all.
We didn't bump our noggins.

We're not kidding, you know?

You have to come.

This is big.

These things
always end the same way.

You guys have been together forever.

- Not forever, but a long time.
- 14 years.

14 years, fucking hell!

Wow, that's a whole other level.

Exactly, that's why we're celebrating.

I don't really get it.

But I respect you guys.

You've been a reference for me.
You've always been there.

Before I broke up with my girlfriend,

and we were fighting all of the time,

I always cited you guys
as the perfect couple.

You were like the legends of love.

Oh well, that's that then.
I guess that's how fucking life goes.

Eternal return, my arse.

Fucking Nietzsche.

- Is that a yes then?
- Is it a yes?

Why the fuck not? I'll do it!

- Great, thanks so much.
- You're the best.

Thank you guys.
Getting to go back to Madrid and play...

and see you all will be great.

But you'll get back together after this.
I'm convinced.

No, we're serious about this.
It's happening.

You're very sweet though.

But this isn't a decision
we've taken lightly...

We can bring our DVDs here.

- Which ones?
- All of them, we don't watch them.

To get 10 euros for them?

At least we'll get rid of them.

Seen anything you like?

Yes, I almost bought a teapot.

A pretty little one,
like the one that broke.

Why didn't you buy it then?

I thought, what's the point?

If you liked it, I'll buy you it.

It has to be somewhere
that means something to us.

- But it has to be big.
- Not too big.

Big enough.

We need to make a guest list.
Loads won't show up anyway.

Hello, neighbours!

Hi, Dominique!
How are you?

Great, really great.

- How was your summer?
- Fantastic. We didn't want to come back.

That's great!

Hello!

It's so good to see you!

You're both looking really well.

We've had a fantastic summer.

And what about you?

Why didn't we tell them?

They'd only just come back
from their holidays.

You can't just spring it on them.

- Can you imagine them being there?
- Yes, I guess so.

I wonder how they'll take it.

How do you expect them to take it?
It's life.

It doesn't matter.

For them, life is being together.
They've been together for 50 years.

We should tell your dad
before anyone else.

- Why?
- It was his idea.

So what?
I don't even know if I'll invite him.

He has to be there.

I have to tell my mum.

We'll tell them,
but we don't have to invite them.

We can't do something like this
without inviting our family.

It'll seem like as if
we're trying to hide something.

Well...

Come in.
I'll tell you later.

Listen...

Today, you'll start with Ale, okay?

She has to go to work later.

I'm upstairs!

See you in a bit.

Don't worry.

- Ale, do you want anything?
- No, I made myself a coffee.

I was telling Simon that
this will probably be our last class.

- With this format.
- Yes, I guess so.

- I want to continue with the classes.
- So do I.

But each of us will have them
wherever we are.

It won't change much.

Well, it depends where we're living.
Here he kills two birds with one stone.

- We're separating, Simon.
- Yes, but we're okay.

It was a mutual decision.

Yes, it was a mutual decision.
In fact, we're having a party.

I should start my class...

Yes, I leave you to it.
I'll be back in 45 minutes.

Do you understand?

But the other way around.

I mean...

It has to have an indoor
and an outdoor bit.

- It always rains in September.
- It won't.

- It rained last night.
- Last night?

That Argentinian place
next to the lake?

- Uruguayan.
- It has a terrace.

We can't do it there,
it's super expensive.

- That's true.
- It's not very intimate either.

- It overlooks the courtyard.
- What's its orientation?

I'm not sure.

The sun is over there. East...
Yes, it's bright.

It has one bedroom.

With an en-suite bathroom.

Overlooking the same courtyard.

It is very bright.

It's very quiet, there's not much noise.

Is that the community courtyard?

Yes, it is. It's very quiet.

There's the bathroom.
You can push the door open.

What's an en-suite bathroom?

It's inside the bedroom.
It's private.

Was it 70 metres in total?

Well, 65.
60 metres of floor space.

It's big. You said it was
for one person, didn't you?

Yes, one person.

- One of us.
- We're still deciding who goes where.

- It's quite big, isn't it?
- Yes, for one person.

- Okay, great.
- I'll call you, okay?

Okay, thank you.

We've lived in a bigger
and cheaper apartment for nine years.

What annoys me is that
it feels like a casting call,

when we're the ones who decide!

When you're a freelancer
it's complicated.

And we can provide
the guarantees they need.

They clearly prefer renting to couples.

We should ask Dominique
for a letter of recommendation.

I didn't like it anyway.

Neither did I.
And it was expensive for the area.

- Where would you like to live?
- I don't know. What about you?

I asked you first.

- You're taking a taxi?
- Yes, shall I drop you off?

No, there's no need. I'll walk.

Okay.

- Bye.
- See you.

There's one every day.

Not quite.

Since we've been shooting,
there's been one every two days.

I'd say maximum one a week.

So many people get married.

They do.

And it's still a celebration.

I don't know. I like weddings.

I've only been to one.

My parents' one.

They got married around here.

It was a civil ceremony.

To get my dad out of military service.

I'd have been around four years old.

Let's get back to it.

Yes.

My dad then started saying

that we shouldn't celebrate unions
but separations instead.

Because when you get married
you don't know if it will last forever.

When you separate,
you've decided to do so

because you aren't okay,
and you want things to be better.

Yes, it makes sense.

On paper.

Aren't you cold?

No.

Shit.

Well, I'm not sure

if it's something every couple could do.

Yes, that's the problem.

- Shall we start?
- Yes.

- Hi.
- How are you?

- How are you, Alex?
- How are things?

Did you have a good summer?

Well, I managed to get away
from this unbearable heat.

- How about you?
- I stayed in Madrid.

- We have a new classmate.
- Hi, I'm Alex.

Is this the best take we have?

Yes, this is the one we chose.

Was it six or seven?

- The tone is a bit odd.
- Exactly.

But in a good way.

But before this,

I'd come back to the shot on the bridge.

This take is really long.

Way too long.

And then maybe onto the bus.

Exactly.

A wipe transition there.

- Here.
- Yes.

We've got a new classmate.

Hello, I am Alex, Alejandro.

I'm Graciela, and I'm a complete newbie.
You all seem to know your stuff.

Not at all.
Ana just makes us look good.

Don't listen to him.

Is this the photo you wanted to paint?

Yes, it's symbolic and sentimental.

He was my husband.

I don't know if that will make it worse.

Perhaps it'll be more difficult?

No.

Don't forget, you'll be working on this
for a long time.

We only have one class a week.

So this photo is perfect.

Perhaps I chose it
so I could spend more time with him.

Of course.

And you'll get to keep it forever.

I think it's a beautiful photo.

Don't worry, we'll go slowly.

Okay, thank you.

So?

How do you feel about it
after the summer?

I don't know.

What?

Let's try something.
Turn the canvas upside down.

Turn it upside down.

Your eye will only paint what it sees,
rather than

what's going on in your mind.

You see a slanted line,
you paint a slanted line.

The same goes for this curve.

That's all there is to it.

- That's what this exercise is about.
- Okay.

You only paint what you see.

- Okay?
- Yes.

- Sorry, you can't come through.
- Right.

Are they almost done
with this sequence?

I've no idea, you can never tell.

Once you are done, can you tell Fer
I'm here. He's expecting me.

Who are you?

Alejandra.

Alejandra what?

Trelles.

Yes, Alejandra Trelles.

Do you copy?

There's a girl here,

Alejandra Trelles, right?

Can I send her through?
She's here to see Fer.

Cut!

She asks if she can come through.

We'll do one last one.

We still need to look
at that other change.

See you later.

- I'm not eating.
- Careful you don't get any on you.

- How are you?
- Good.

It's so good to see you!

Let's go over there, it's quieter.

You've dyed your hair.
You look younger.

Look, this bit too.

You've got an earring as well?

It was my idea.
I think it looks good.

- Wow, you've even got a trailer.
- We don't use it much.

We aren't many,
and we're filming all day.

- When did you start?
- A week ago and it'll go on until March.

- How many episodes?
- 10. Do you want a drink?

- You don't have any alcohol, do you?
- No, Coke, Red Bull, Monster...

- Gross.
- We shoot a lot at night!

- Water?
- Okay.

We'll be more comfy over here.

You told me it's about a couple.

I can't tell you much more.

It's the story of a couple
over ten years.

Every year
is a year in the life of the couple.

From 2016 to 2026.

When they break up?

We don't know the ending.
It hasn't been written yet.

Are you kidding?

Okay.

- And how are you?
- Good.

And your film?

I'm finishing the editing.

It's driving me a bit insane.

Same as always.
You're ready to quit the film world.

Yes, the film world,
and well...

everything else...

That's about it.

Everything.

I see.

I was just about to ask you how Alex is.

We're not being renewed
for another season.

- Wow.
- Yes.

- That's crazy.
- Yes, it is a bit.

- Are you okay?
- Yes.

Was it a mutual decision?

Yeah, we're fine.
It was a mutual decision.

I'm only asking because...
It's not easy.

No.

I wanted to tell you
that we're having a party.

My dad's idea.

Ah, that whole...

- Yes, his theory.
- What was it again?

That we should celebrate
breaking-up not getting together.

Celebrate separating
for your better good.

He told us that beautiful story
about Bergman and Liv Ullmann.

With the door...
With circles, crosses and hearts.

Depending on the day.

And it was all hearts at the end.

Well...

Wait for it!

- What?
- Wait.

Wait.

What's up?

"The Bergman Tarot".

Seriously?

This will blow your mind.

It's a deck of tarot cards.

62 cards,

each featuring a still
from one of his films,

with a quote
or a reflection under each photo.

A reflection...
Are they yours or your character's?

They're mine.
They're actually mine.

I use them all of the time
and they work.

- Really?
- Yes.

I ask them questions about my life,
about my work...

You make three piles.

One, two, three.

Past, present, future.
You pick a card.

You look at it
and interpret it however you wish.

Your interpretation.

You can ask it whatever you want.
For example:

Will I be able to go to their party
or will I be shooting?

No, you have to come.
It's on the 22nd, it's a Friday.

Even if you're shooting that night,
you'll be there.

Okay, then.
What shall we ask then?

Will the film I'm currently working on

be what ultimately destroys my career?

- We've to ask it yes or no?
- Yes.

Okay, we'll ask it that.
Let's see.

Past.

Present.

Future.

Hello.

Are you smoking?

Yes.

I felt like one.

Perhaps it's because I saw Fer.

I went to see him.

On set and I told him.

Great.

He's even got a trailer.

He's got a trailer?

And what did he say?

He gave me these tarot cards.

He said that maybe we should use them.

Ask them questions.

That's funny.

Is he coming to the party?

Of course. He's going to try.

He's really busy.
It's a five-month shoot.

He's dyed his hair.

He's got an earring.
He looks good.

Do you want some?

I told José.

Really?
Weren't you planning to change agents?

Well, actually.

I don't think I meant to invite him,
I just sort of blurted it out.

We were meeting
to discuss that series with Andrea.

Andrea was there too?

That's what made it so funny.

She wasn't there to begin with,
she was late as always.

And I told him.

Sorry I'm late.

- Him or her?
- Him.

Hello.

I told him we're separating
but that we're both happy about it.

That we're throwing a party...

He seemed perplexed
but refrained from passing judgment.

Are you serious?

We decided together.

It's nice, isn't it?

The idea of closing this chapter
with all of our friends present.

You can do whatever you want
with your personal life.

I'm only telling you
because it's important to me.

I value your opinion.

But will you continue to work together?

He asked you that?

Exactly!

- That's what he asked me.
- What did you say?

That we don't know yet.

Well, we don't.

Do we?

- The two things are completely unrelated.
- I'd say that they are related.

Of course they are.

What about that new film
she wanted to make with you?

Well, I don't know...

I imagine we'll do it.

If we both want to...

We'll have to see.

We'll see how things go.

Okay.

Don't forget to send me your self-tape

with the character extract
for the other series.

Which one?

The one they asked us for.

I sent you a text message
with an excerpt...

We have to send it in by next week.

Okay.

Get Alejandra to film you.
She does it better.

Sorry I'm late.
You should see my agenda.

And then,

Andrea arrived.

This guy has just been updating me
with his latest news.

Is it official, can I tell her?

Is what official?
Did you get a call from Hollywood?

No, I was just tell him...

Me and Ale are separating.

But we're okay.
We decided together.

It was a mutual decision.

What a shame.

Here comes the best part.

And when we told her,
she said it was a great idea.

- Really?
- Yes.

We want to celebrate it

so we've decided to throw a party.

Like a wedding,
but the other way around.

- A party?
- Yes, a separation party.

That's the idea.
Like a wedding, but the other way around.

It was actually Ale's dad's idea.

That we should celebrate separations
rather than unions.

What do you think?

It's fantastic.

It's beautiful.
What an incredible idea!

It's the best way to do it.
I love it!

You love it? Wow, that's great!

She loved the idea and she'll be there.
Very funny.

She said she'll bring Carla.

Are they still together?

She said separating
was the worst thing she's done,

- and she wishes she had done it earlier.
- The worst or the best?

The best!

We should have thrown a party too,
but it was too late.

Separating is a good thing.

If you do it at the right time,
as it allows you to embrace

the unexpected,

hope,

and life itself.

Don't ever regret it, Alex.

You'll be much better off,
I'm sure of it.

Well, that's the idea.

I admire you both.

Me and Carla will be there.

Can I get a bottle of...?

She was totally in favour
of the separation.

She loved the idea of us separating.

And my brother?

What about your brother?

He has as much of a right
to come as she does.

I can't believe she decided just like that
to bring her girlfriend.

Without thinking about
how he'll feel if she's there.

Darling, they aren't together any more.

She doesn't have
to justify her actions.

It's our party, and our relationship
with them is with them as a couple.

That's absurd because
they aren't a couple any more.

It's still quite recent.
It might piss him off.

Well, let it piss him off.
We can't do anything about it.

Are you hungry? Shall I make dinner?

Or we could go to the cinema.
The open-air ones are still open.

Let's just watch one here.

You're right.

Something funny, a comedy.

Do you know what film we could watch?

- I never liked that film.
- You didn’t like it.

I don't find it funny.

Well, you laughed during this one.
Several times.

Yes, because the jokes were good,
and he was playing the fool.

He's really good in it.

Dudley Moore is my favourite actor
of all times.

Perhaps, but it's all aligned
with a completely dirty vision.

It's vulgar, male, sexual humour.

If you watch Skin Deep...

With the coloured condoms?
I've seen that one, and this one too.

With my dad, for some reason.

I'd erased that from my memory,
for my mental health.

It may have repulsed me at the time,
but it doesn't anymore.

Cancel and revision culture again? C’mon.

And so what?

The film ridicules the guy
for pursuing the hot girl.

The film reinforces that perspective.

He relishes it.

- The hot girl comes across as an idiot.
- Exactly! Like an idiot!

He also comes across as an idiot,
and in the end, he regrets it.

He recognises his stupidity.

Not at all.
He comes across really smart,

a great pianist,
and horny as hell.

The film completely absolves him.

Why should it condemn him?

We all do stuff like that,
and we regret it.

We all do that stuff?

I like it when films show this stuff.

I really do.

The woman is as important as he is.

Julie Andrews is great.

Yes, but her role
isn't considered as important.

There are loads of scenes with just her
and that other guy.

All she does during the whole film
is wait for him.

No, that's not true.

At the end, she's with the other guy
and he comes back repentant.

She's trying to make him jealous.

It's a film about a midlife crisis.

It celebrates marriage and partnership.

But the film's essence,
its comedic value,

which is the most important part
and what sticks in people's minds,

is its objectification of women.

Without that,
it wouldn't have the same impact.

It's a jerk-off film, an adolescent film.

I like that it feels like a comedy.

I don't dispute what you're saying.

But the truth is, it's a drama.

- It's a total drama about...
- A total drama?

Yes, about a midlife crisis
and it celebrates marriage.

Obviously.

I think it's a great film.

Yes, but it's filled with erotic tension

with that girl...

We'd view it differently these days.

That scene from Bolero is really funny.

Yes it is.

I was defending its more adult aspect.

With the woman, the crisis
and all of that.

At the end, we discover
she has a kid from another relationship.

And the kid makes fun of him.

It seems like a civilized relationship.

With this little terrorist,
it's hard for me to start afresh.

I like the idea of having a kid
that isn't mine.

I've often said that to Ale.

Wait a second,

you're saying you want a kid with her
who isn't yours?

You're not leaving her
much of a choice, are you?

I mean that...

if she'd had a child
from a previous relationship.

Or while with you!

I'd look after it as if it were my own.

Even if it wasn't biologically mine.
I've always had a parental instinct.

I don't like parents
who are obsessed with their kids.

Who think they own them.

Because they made them,
they must be like them.

It's genetics.
Whether we like it or not.

I don't want them to have my genes.
They can have hers though.

Leonardo, shall we go
and see the dinosaurs?

You'll come with us, won't you?
You don't have plans.

I don't know.

Once school starts back
it gets really rowdy.

I need to make the guest list
and call people.

Separating is hard work.

You don't have kids.

Separating is a walk in the park!

Hello, Mum, how are you?

What are you up to?

Ah, really?

Isn't Dad there?

Good, yeah.

It's still quite warm.

I'm at the natural science museum.

With the aircon on.

No, she's working on her film.

The editing and sound stuff
always takes ages.

We're good.

Well, the thing is...

How can I put this?
Don't be alarmed.

It's a bit of an odd celebration.

We're celebrating that we're separating.

Me and Ale.

I mean... we're breaking up, Mum.

We're ending things between us.

Our relationship...

That's why I told you
not to be alarmed.

We're good. These things happen.
I mean, it was bound to happen.

Our plan is to have a party...

with our friends, with you,
with everyone together.

It's an idea we came up with.

In fact, Ale's dad always told us

you should celebrate separations
rather than unions.

It's nice, isn't it?

Mum?

Mum, listen...
Don't cry...

Yes, hello.

Hi, Charo.

Hi, it's me.

How are you?

Yes.

Yeah, Alex told me.

I don't know if he told you...

Yes?

Of course, that's why I'm calling you.

To chat to you and assure you
that we are okay.

We're not saying that it isn't sad.

Of course it is sad.

But we want to do something
with all of us together.

With everyone we love

and end this chapter in a happy way.

Because...

Yes.

Of course.

That's right.

Exactly.

That's it.

Absolutely everyone.

I wanted to tell you in person.

So that you'd see that we're okay.

I wanted you to hear it from me...

and know that we're okay,

and that this could actually be
a really lovely thing to do.

I had such a weird dream last night...

A nightmare.

I was...

on set.

It was a big set, with loads of people.

They didn’t understand me.

There was a cat

trapped between two doors.

I wanted them to let it out
but they didn't want to.

They didn’t understand what I was saying.

Turn it up a bit.

A bit less.

Okay.

If the music continues through
to the next sequence...

Perhaps it's too abrupt,
it has to be smoother.

Perhaps, let's have a look.

Like that.

Yes, like that.

That's good.

And we'll keep it on throughout.

It works well.

But we don't have the rights for it yet.

I love you loads.

Okay.

Okay.

You know you can call me
whenever you want.

Give Granny a kiss from me.
Is she there?

Bye.

Be careful, Max.

It's nice, isn't it?

Yes.

Hello.

How are you?

How are the holidays going, Max?

Good.

Just good?

Really good.

You haven’t been bored, have you?

Maybe a bit, but we like being bored.

Really?

Pretty much, right?

- You're going back soon, aren't you?
- I don't know.

How don't you know?

Yes, on Monday.

- How are things?
- Not bad, and you?

Good, I have news.

- Really?
- Yes.

It's not that, you idiot.

Why doesn't it open its wings?

It's tail feathers?

Because it's still summer.

And Alex?

He's at home.

They'll open in spring, won't they?

Yes, that's right.

We've decided

to separate.

Okay.

- It was either that or you were pregnant.
- It wasn't working any more.

Yeah.

But we are good.

- Really?
- Yes.

This will sound crazy
but we've decided to have a party.

To celebrate.

Because of Dad's dumb idea?

It's such a load of crap.

- Separating isn't a laughing matter.
- I know.

Will you tell him today?

That was my plan.

- Hello, father.
- Hello, son.

Still in your dressing gown?

- What time is it?
- Almost three o'clock.

Come in, I've made paella.

I think we can eat outside.

It's quite a nice day.

- Paella again?
- We're on a mono diet here.

You must have loads to tell me.

I know you had a great time
in Cantabria.

But you've been here all summer
and I haven't seen you.

I've been editing my film.

When will you show me it?

I was wondering the same thing.

When I'm happy with it.

You know I like seeing it
before you're finished

so I can give you feedback.

I'm not going to overthink it.
It is what it is.

- Have you lost weight?
- Have I?

I need to have a shave.

It looks good.

Who knows?

Yummy!

Why isn't Alex here?
He loves paella.

He's at home.

In fact, I wanted to tell you...

we're separating.

It needs a bit more salt.

What did you say?

Me and Alex are separating...

Really?

Yes.

Let's sit down.

But we're good.

Don't worry,
it's something that...

was bound to happen.

Since when?
Did you know about this?

She just told me,
but I saw it coming.

It's normal.

When did you decide?

I don't know, this...

Since this summer.

But it is what it is and that's that.

We've decided to take your advice.

What advice?

The party, Dad.

The separation party.

Yes, that.

Sorry, you've lost me.

What are you talking about?

Celebrating when people separate
not when they get together.

Instead of a wedding, a separation party.

Yeah, but still...

It's one thing...

I’ll have said it in passing.
It doesn’t mean you have to do it.

That's what I said.

- Are you actually separating?
- Yes, we are.

Was it your idea or his?

Both of ours.

It was a mutual decision,
and we want to do as you suggested.

It seemed a lovely idea.

But if the person who came up
with the idea doesn't believe in it...

It's not a case
of believing in it or not.

I said it one time.

No, you said it loads of times!

You've been going on about it
since we were teenagers

and we had our first breakups.

It's not that uncommon,
I've seen it on TV.

In the USA, loads of people
throw big parties for these things.

It's a bit corny and very American.

They do it in Mauritania too.

I saw a documentary
on Courrier International

with colour photos

of decoupling parties
with rituals and dancing.

But we aren't in Mauritania.

We want to do something...

on a small scale, our way.

with our friends and live music.

What do you want me to say?

Do what you want.

But do you know, I think

you'll get back together.

Don't say that, Dad.

We're doing this because we know

we won't get back together.

It's a way

for us to say a proper goodbye,

in the presence of our friends

and be together until the very end.

Where are you having it?

I don't know.

Somewhere not too impersonal,
where we feel comfortable.

Have it here.

No, what are you on about?

There's a big garden and I'm alone.

No, that would be too weird.

- You'll have the place to yourselves.
- No, no.

Think about it, at least.

We want to do it on the 22nd.

- The 22nd of this month?
- Yes.

The 22nd of September
like the song by Brassens.

Do you remember?

Today is the 22nd of September

and I couldn't care less.

You can sing it to Alex.

To you, to both of you.

Well, this is ready.

The kid just comes out and says:

"Dad, I don't want to be like you".

- He said that?
- Can you imagine how I felt?

- It's normal for him to say that.
- Do you reckon?

He sees you for who you are.

And you thought you were a cool dad.

Far from it.

And the kid doesn't want
to be anything like you.

Kierkegaard wrote a book
called Repetition.

I'd really like you to read it.

Have we discussed it before?

No, I don't think so.

The book is good.
It's not that well known,

but it's my favourite of all his books.
It's still relevant today.

The truth is that Kierkegaard

was a bit of a nutcase.
He really was.

He was a bit like...

Bergman without Liv Ullmann.

As a philosopher.

On the one hand,
he was fascinated by Hegel

and all his systematic constructions,

but yet,

he realised it was pointless.

That for the things
that are really important:

feelings,

faith,

suffering...

For all of those things,

philosophy didn't cut it anymore.

They had to come up
with something new.

And so, followed by Nietzsche
and Schopenhauer,

he did just that.

They tried to forge a new path
for philosophy.

A philosophy of life,
of existence.

What was it called?

Repetition.

I'll go and find it, I must have it.

You'll like it.

"Oh, look at me, I read Kierkegaard."

Can I have a smoke?

- Are you smoking again?
- I never quit.

Max!

We're here with Grandpa, okay?

This is the book
I was telling you about.

Although I'm not sure if Kierkegaard...

He almost got married once
but he got cold feet.

He's quite the character.

Saying that,
you should read Cavell.

You'll enjoy his work.

He's a perfectionist philosopher.

His theory is that cinema
can make us better.

It might sound like madness,
but he argues his case very well.

He based his arguments
on certain classic comedies,

The Philadelphia Story,
The Lady Eve, His Girl Friday,

The Awful Truth,
translated here as "the puritanical minx".

Well, he discussed
all of these couples

who gave themselves a second chance.

Not to do the same thing
or to make the same mistakes,

but to do things differently, better.

I'm going to look for another.

This is quite the bibliography!
Do I really need it all?

Aren’t fathers supposed
to give their kids bibliographies?

AND THE TITLE COULD APPEAR HERE

YOU'LL GET BACK TOGETHER

GET BACK TOGETHER

YOU'LL SEE

The theory is that....
It's a theory.

We shouldn't celebrate unions,
but separations instead.

That's the theory.
We'll see how it works in practice.

I can't believe it.

He's my English teacher.

- We've been drinking all afternoon.
- I see that.

And Ale?

She's fine. She's at work.

- A new film?
- Yes.

That's great.

I haven't seen it...
But, yeah.

- She's editing it.
- Are you in it?

Yes.

I'm in it.

Too much.

You only come to see me
when you aren't doing well.

Exactly.

I'll be coming more often
from now though. You'll see.

Me and Ale are separating.

We've already decided.

We're actually having a party.

- It's not that big of a deal.
- You've been together forever.

14, 15 years, it's hardly forever.

Come on, it's a big deal.

- It's like a wedding.
- No, it's a non-wedding.

No, that's not the philosophy behind it.

When is it, by the way?

When?

The 22nd of September.

That's really soon.

You have to do this things quickly.

Get the man a drink.

Come on, it's my round.

- How are you?
- The sink is completely clogged.

You'll have put something down it
last night.

I don't know.

There's nothing we can do.

We'll have to give Antonio a call.

No, wait...

I'll fix it.

Simon was there too?

Yes, we went for a drink after class.

We got a bit carried away.

I had two drinks I think,
I don't remember...

I was with my Dad.

Ah, really?

Did you tell him?

Yes.

And?

At first, he didn't say anything.

It took him a while to digest.

My brother was there,
he wasn't amused.

Obviously not.

He thinks it is absurd,
especially because it's Dad's idea.

Well...

Your dad...

At first he seemed quite serious.

He wasn't expecting it.

But I think he actually
quite liked the idea of the party.

He suggested we have it there.

At his house?

Well...

That's good, isn't it?

You think it's a good idea?

Well, I think...

it makes sense. It's his house.

His idea, his house.

I think it'll seem a bit pathetic,
even humiliating.

Why?

It'll seem like
it's the best we can do.

It's a nice, big house.
It'll be fantastic.

Look, it seems to be unclogging.

Well.

I'm off.

You're off?

I've to do some editing
and then I'm seeing that apartment.

- Today?
- Yes, today.

Then dinner with Ada and Javi.

We arranged it ages ago, remember?

Sorry, did you say
you're going to see an apartment?

Yes, that's right.
Had you forgotten that too?

Hi, Alex...

This arrived yesterday.

Shall I bring it over?

Yes, of course.
Thank you, Dominique.

Is it okay that I collected it?

You weren't here
and they rang our doorbell.

I think it's for Alejandra.

Okay, thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Dominique...

- Dominique.
- Yes?

Are you here on the 22nd?

In vino veritas
Repetition

Can Cinema Make Us Better?

Pursuits of Happiness

In the end, we are who we are.
We can't change that.

- How much is your mortgage?
- 450, fixed rate.

- In Madrid, it would be triple that.
- Definitely.

- It's great.
- Yes.

I thought you'd forgotten about dinner.

- It's great to see you.
- How are you?

Great.

- Just before we leave for the country.
- Wow! Is it official then?

Yes, they were just telling me.

- We've sorted the mortgage.
- Great.

- We own a house.
- A country house.

Let's raise a toast.

- What do you want?
- A whisky.

We'll still come to Madrid to shoot.
It's only an hour away.

We'll still be registered in Madrid.

Or wherever there's work...
Even in the Canaries!

What matters is that direction
and production are back together.

That's fundamental!

So, are we finally getting
to see your film tomorrow?

We'll see what you think.

It's not the final version.
Are you cold?

I'm a bit chilly.
I should have brought something.

I don't seem to have realised
that summer is over.

Summer isn't over yet.

Almost.

- Here you go.
- Are you sure?

- I'm fine.
- Really?

You're never hot nor cold.

I must be dead.

Wouldn't you consider
buying a place after so many years?

Yes, in fact we should have
bought our own apartment.

But as the rent was so low,
we never considered it.

You wouldn't find
something like that nowadays.

Thank you.

Yes.

We could move out of our apartment
and buy a place together.

If we got a decent mortgage,

we could rent it out for more,

split the money between us
and each live somewhere else.

No.

The new law obligates you
to live there for at least a year.

If not, it's speculation.

I know that because my cousin

went to live
with his long-term girlfriend,

and they'd just bought a place
when they decided to separate.

But they still had
to live in it together for a year.

Why did you say
you'd each live somewhere else?

That's actually
what we wanted to tell you.

- We've decided to separate.
- Yes, but we're good.

We are, and we're having a party
on the last day of summer.

The 22nd of September.

- Can you come?
- You have to help us.

- Yes, we'll need help with production...
- A lot of help.

Wait a minute...

I think I've missed something.

What are you on about?

- We're separating and having a party.
- We wanted to mark the occasion.

- With live music.
- With the people we love.

That's right.

This is a bit nuts, isn't it?

That's what Manu said the other day.
He's going to come and play.

He's a great drummer.
He asked if we'd bumped our noggins.

That means completely losing it.

But we haven't completely lost it.

In fact, her dad has always
talked about this idea.

He always said that in an ideal world,

you'd celebrate separations
instead of unions. It's a bit utopian.

She suggested it to you guys,
don't you remember?

- You're having us on!
- No.

- You're making this up!
- No, we're not.

I suggested it to you.

Yes, she did.

It’s a madness.

It's madness.
But it takes your mind off it.

We’re going to try it.
What does it matter anyway?

We may as well laugh about it.

- We can see the beauty in it.
- That's it.

I'm sorry, but I just can't believe it.

You guys will get back together.

You'll see, just like we did.

He's right.

You'll get back together.

For now,
all we're back to doing is smoking.

- In the last few days.
- Just in the last few days.

And only a little bit.

And drinking.

A bit more.

I suspected something.

Did you?

Really?

She saw us during filming.

Anyway, Javi! It doesn't matter.

Am I the only idiot
who didn't see it coming?

You're taking it worse
than my mum did.

His mum started crying.

- I'm not far off.
- Like a baby.

You've ruined our evening.

- We are fine though.
- There's no need to cry about it.

- Javi, don't cry.
- I don't get what is so funny.

They are fine!

The look on Javi's face was priceless.

Spectacular!

Seriously though,
we could keep our apartment

and rent out the small room
to pay for another place.

By the way, how was the apartment?

I liked it.

- You liked it?
- You should see it.

We'll need to decide quickly.

The woman told me
she'd hold it for me until Monday.

If you like it, that's great.

You could take it, and I could...

find someone to share with.

Excuse me?

What I said before about the small room.

You don't want to share.

So you want to stay
in the cheap apartment I found us,

and sublet it to pay your rent?

It's just an idea.

You coming in?

And this?

It arrived for you,
but they left it with Dominique.

- I invited them.
- You told them?

Yes. We said we were going
to invite them.

Yes, but it wasn't definite.

We're telling everyone...

It's not the same.
They see us all the time.

I think he was more concerned
about losing us as tenants.

They're going to take pity on us,
it'll be as if we are ill.

Well, we might as well be.
Aren't you opening it?

No, I know what it is.

Hi, Antonio. How are you?

It's Alex. How are you doing?

I'm calling you
for the same thing as usual.

Well...

Could you come over now?

Yes, it is clogged again.

Yesterday, I tried pouring
one of my inventions down it.

Bicarb, vinegar and boiling water.

It seemed to have done the trick,
but now...

The sink is clogged again.

No one fits these pipes anymore.
They were banned.

- They're less robust.
- Hello, Antonio.

Hello, Alejandra.

- How are you getting on?
- Good.

I was saying
it seems to be flowing again.

It's a good thing you came,
it was totally clogged.

What can we do so
it doesn't happen again in two months?

What I've been saying for years,
you need to replace the pipes.

- Here, I'll do it.
- No, it's fine.

You need to replace the lead pipes
with PVC ones.

All of them, it'll cost a fortune.

Right.

We might be moving out.

In that case, I said nothing.

We're each going to live
in a different place.

We're separating, you see.

Yes, but we are good.

That's another matter.

It's working now.

Thank you, Antonio.

We're having a party.

A separation party.

We're going to invite our friends
and everyone we love.

You're one of the people
who has helped us out the most.

Every time we're in a mess like this...

Do you remember the last time?

- But I charged you for it, didn't I?
- Yes, of course.

It's 60 euros this time.
Transfer or cash?

Cash.

The party is on
the night of the 22nd to the 23rd.

The last day of summer, it's a Friday.
Think about it.

See you later, lovebirds.

Bye, Antonio, thank you.

What did you say that for?

- What?
- I can't believe you.

Why?

The way you said it.
It was like you were poking fun at him.

- Quite the opposite
- I don't know.

Do you think he actually gives a shit
about our separation party?

He must think we're idiots.

- Is this fresh?
- Yes.

- And those pyjamas?
- They're new.

I can see that.
Is that what arrived yesterday?

I bought them on sale.
I've always wanted silk pyjamas.

- Don't you like them?
- I love them.

I was thinking it's crazy

to have it at your dad's house.

You said it was fine.

I did, but no.
I'd be at a huge disadvantage.

- Why?
- We'd be playing on your turf.

It's not mine.
It's my dad's.

Exactly.

It's harder for me than it is for you.

I'm not sure.

You know what?

I don't think we should do it.

- Probably not.
- I don't think we're up to it.

It doesn't make any sense.

Remember we have
the team screening tonight.

Yes, it's... a joke.

Don't you want to see it?

Yes, of course. I can't wait.

- It's shit.
- Of course it is.

END CREDITS

Well...

We don't know if we'll do it
with title cards or scrolling.

Bravo.

It's fantastic.

Don’t worry...

Well...

Excuse me...

Can I start?

Of course, go ahead.

Those of you who weren't on set

will be more objective.

I really liked it,
that goes without saying.

The film has some interesting elements.

But it's true that it's very long.

That's what we said at the start.

We haven't decided on the length yet.

The problem, more than anything

is that it's repetitive.

- You know?
- But that's the film's premise.

We discussed that.

The film progresses
by means of accumulation.

Of course,
but there's no linear progression.

Nor is there
a transformational character arc.

It's the same thing over and over.

I'd like to understand

if it’s a circular or a linear film.

What do you mean by that?

A circle film
focuses on the discourse.

A linear film
is about discovery and uncertainty.

I don't think it's either of the two.

The characters seem to know
what they want.

But later, not so much...

This could apply to both
the characters and the director.

You as the director, in this case.

But I like it.

Okay.

And... over here...?

You girls are very quiet.

What did you think of it?

I noted something down

that I think is important.

Don't take it the wrong way.

Of course not. Go on.

That's why we asked you to come.

- Yes.
- You need to be mindful of her presence.

We might need to review
some of the actions in certain shots

to give him more of a prominent role

but at her expense.

Sorry, are you talking to me

or someone else?
You aren't looking at me.

Yes.

Is it my character or me
that you are wanting to cut?

Sorry, but I didn't perceive
this imbalance at all.

- No.
- Neither did I.

- Really?
- Not at all.

Maybe we could discuss this over a drink?

Yes, and we've other stuff to discuss...

What?

We've been hearing things.

Yes, we were just chatting.

I might have said too much.

Are you referring to the party?

The party and everything else.

Don't worry,
it's not happening anyway.

I knew it!
You owe me 5 euros.

No, that's still happening
but we're not having the party.

- What party?
- Yes, the party isn't happening.

Aren't we discussing the film?

Yeah, but it's all the same thing.

Why don't we continue
to talk about this over a drink?

I need at least one gin and tonic.

I'm going home.

You're off?
We're going to discuss the film.

I don't know what to say and
I don't want to talk about it any more.

I can't stay, although I'd like to.

But...

I'll send you an email
with the rest of my notes.

Of course, send them to us.

Of course.

Bye then.

You can tell me about it later.

Don't worry,
the film is definitely linear.

I'm going to go
and throw myself off the viaduct.

- I have these, you can keep them.
- Don't you want them?

They are all foreign language films.

- Which ones?
- These ones.

- I don't know if I've seen these.
- Have a look.

Yes, I've seen these too.

I think they'll sell quite well.

No, these won't sell.

- Excuse me?
- Yes.

How much is the armchair?

Two for 350 euros.

And just one?

You can't separate a pair, sir.

All vendors will tell you
the same thing.

- Ah really.
- Yes.

And if I buy the other one?

Sorry?

If I buy the other one?

If you both agree, that's fine by me.

- I think we'll both agree.
- I think so too.

Do you want them delivered?

Past,

present,

future.

What exactly does "soaring" mean?

It means:

flying high.

We're doing it.

22nd of September.

Yes.

Yes, at her dad's house.

The night of the 22nd to the 23rd.
The last day of summer.

At my dad's house.

- It'll be a complete invasion.
- The house is yours.

I'll retire to my room.
Do whatever you want.

No, you have to be there.

If you want to change your mind,
now is the time to do so.

- There'll be so many people.
- You can burn it down with me inside.

No problem.

I was showing Alex
what they do in Mauritania.

What I told you the other day.

Over there, people get married
5, 10 or even 20 times.

For every breakup,
there's a party.

No.

Why not?

I look great.

It's really nice.

And we go back to her,
we'll introduce my take.

You're going to go in pyjamas?

They're silk.

They are still pyjamas.

A string of lights

is fundamental.

Two spotlights for the crowd
out on the dance floor.

The tower at the back,
and all of the musicians will be here.

Don't you think it's all a bit much?

Who has confirmed? Laura, Santi, Lore,
Pablo, Ángeles, Michel, Trudu...

Wait, we can't be more than 50.

We need to count...

I think we're on more than 50.

Well?

Is it her or not?

What's this?

- Did you do it?
- Yes.

How long have you been working on it?

A year.

A year?

Don't you like it?

Yes, I love it. It's incredible.

- Is it me?
- Of course.

It's me?

Obviously.

- How did you do it?
- Don't worry, I'll keep it.

Do you expect me
to hang up a portrait of myself?

Don't worry.
I'll take it... to the flea market.

- They'll give me a decent price for it.
- But it's my face!

This is also yours.

Ah yes.

Look.

This is yours.

No, it's yours.

It's yours.

I assure you, it's yours.

No, I remember that...

I got them to sign it for you.

Ah yes.

Next.

This...
No, we're going to swap them around...

Instead of this one...
Do you see how it's the same link shot?

- Do you want a bit?
- Yes.

The rhythm doesn't work here.

Which one are we on?

50.

- So?
- They're delicious.

Great. I can do them with cod,
boletus, mushrooms,

or whatever you want.
Do you like these ones?

Do you want another one?

I think it needs to be higher.

That might be better...

The night of the 22nd to the 23rd.

The last day of summer.

Okay, I'll add you to the list.
The 22nd.

You'll have to dress up a bit.

Yes, I want to meet her.

Yes, we'll manage.

Like a wedding,
but the other way around.

Sensuality, sexuality,
that's what you need to give off.

It feels really dry.

I'll get you some moisturiser.

Will you get it?
I'll get it.

I always start with
the crazier and more daring proposals.

- Look at the state of me!
- Hi.

And this dress you're wearing?

We're trying on things for the party.

The party...

When Mercedes arrives,
won't the music have stopped?

Yes, keep going.

Can we watch it in fast-forward?

But you stopped it!

- I was just trying something.
- I can see that.

Let's go to the end.

What happened?

I didn't touch anything.

Sorry, it'll be the fuse. Just a second.

It could be the cable.

Here.

It's late.

LET'S ASSUME IT'S
THE 22ND OF SEPTEMBER

Hello, how are you?
Thank you for coming.

We haven't actually prepared
a speech or anything.

Kiss!

You haven't understood the concept.

Cut!

- This weighs a tonne.
- Sorry.

- I tried to not overfill them.
- Well, you didn't manage.

Those aren't the ones.
Where were they?

The ones on the right
are staying here.

- Those ones are going in the car.
- It doesn't matter.

- Okay, we'll leave that one here.
- Leave it here.

What's wrong?

Okay.

- These ones, right?
- Yes.

How many are left?

None, just my suitcase,
a bag and my laptop.

Okay.

Mum's 4L.

Put this in the box.

No, you tell her.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

- I'll take this down.
- Okay, thank you.

- Everything okay?
- Yes.

Pass me that.

I need to ask you a favour.

What is it?

It might not be a good time.

What is it?

I need to send José an audition tape.

It's only a short scene,
but I should have sent it in already.

I kept putting it off.

But they asked for it again,
they seem to be interested.

They always say the same thing.

José says that the ones you film
come out better.

Yes, but you never get the role.

I know, it's not as if
I want to do it anyway.

When do you have to send it in?

- It doesn't matter.
- No, when do you need it for?

- Today.
- Today?

Brother!

- David!
- I'm coming.

You can head off,
we'll be here for a while.

- Okay.
- Here you go.

I'll do it directly on a 709.

And I'll send them a H264.

Yes, as you like.

Where are you looking?

I'll look over here and then over there.
Something like that.

Okay.

"It's good.
Are you sure you don't want some?"

I'm going home. I don't think now
is the right time for this conversation.

I'm not sure I want us
to be together anymore.

If we even really are together.

Because I feel like
I can't give you what you need.

- And I feel...
- I'm feeling.

I'm feeling under pressure,
not because of you, but because of life.

I need some time away from you,
some time for myself.

"Aren't you happy?"

No, are you happy?

"Yes.

I love being with you.
I'm in love with you.

I was so happy this Christmas,
and I feel stupid saying this now.

But it's true.

I love everything about you.
Everything. I adore you."

Who wrote this?

I don't know. Who cares?
Let's just get on with it.

"They look at each other in silence.
He gets emotional and looks away."

Is that it?

Yes, it's just an extract.
For the main character.

They do an initial screening process
and take it from there.

- Where are you looking then?
- Here and then there.

Can you look straight ahead for me?

Perfect. Shall we start?

- When you're ready.
- Okay.

"It's good.
Are you sure you don't want some?"

Let's start over.

"It's good.
Are you sure you don't want some?"

I'm going home.

I don't think this
is the right time to make...

I'm going to start again.

I'll start.

Once the motorbike has passed.

The light keeps changing.
I'm struggling with it.

I'll start.

"It's good.
Are you sure you don't want some?"

I'm going home.

I don't think now
is the right time for this conversation.

But...

I'm not sure

I want us to be together anymore.

If we even really are together.

Because I feel like

I can't give you what you need.

I'm feeling under pressure,
not because of you,

but because of life.

I need some time away from you,

some time for myself.

"Aren't you happy?"

No.

Are you happy?

"Yes.

I love being with you.

I'm in love with you.

I was so happy this Christmas,

and I feel stupid saying this now.
But it's true.

I love everything about you.

Everything.

I adore you."

That's it.

Is that it?

How was it?

- Good.
- Okay then.

Another must-see place.

Like every true Aragonese person,
you have to visit

the Pompidou.
You have to.

This is crazy.

This space was created
around the 1970s...

Alex.

This is crazy.

Alex!

Yes?

Look what I just found.

What is it?

Watch.

- No way.
- Our trip to Paris.

Why did I film it using that app?

It's like a fake Super 8.

Another must-see.

I was so young.

You have to visit...

the Pompidou.

You're such an idiot.

What's that?

It's like you're rehearsing for a role.

No, it's in the crêperie.

I was practicing how to order a crêpe.

Une crêpe, s’il vous plaît.

There you go.

- Une crêpe?
- Yes, Nutella.

You've such a gift for languages.

Look. Notre Dame.

That was before the fire.

What year was this?

I'd say 2013 or 2014.

More than ten years ago.

Darling.

A kiss?

Did you find it yet?

No.

It must be over here.

Montmartre.

Yes, we were looking for
Truffaut's grave.

Forget it, I'm tired. Let's go.

No, come on, it'll be around here.

Why don't you kiss me?

I love this curve.

We're like two turkeys.

Two peacocks.

"Repetition's love

is in truth the only happy love.

Like recollection's love,
it does not have

the restlessness of hope,

the uneasy adventurousness
of discovery,

but neither does
it have the sadness of recollection.

Instead repetition's love,

has the blissful security of the moment."

That's better, isn't it?

- You almost knocked it over.
- Almost.

I'm going to live

On my own

Because with all of these people here

I'm going to go

A bit crazy

And I

And I

I love you

I love you

But I am so

Afraid

That this love will continue to grow

And when it reaches its peak

Pride will come into play

And accidentally shatter it

And my heart will weep

And my heart will weep

Alone in the street

How my heart will weep

How my heart will weep

Alone in the street

Do you want to sing?

No.

I'd prefer to just stay here.

This is fun though.

- Will you help me?
- The vase has fallen over.

- No!
- Yes.

Much better.

I've lost my way.

Don't worry.

"Repetition's love

is in truth

the only happy love.

Like recollection's love,
it does not have

the restlessness of hope,

the uneasy adventurousness
of discovery,

but neither does it have
the sadness of recollection.

Instead repetition's love,

has the blissful security of the moment,

- of hope..."
- Again.

"Repetition's love
is in truth the only happy love.

Like recollection's love, it does not have
the restlessness of hope,

the uneasy adventurousness
of discovery,

but neither does
it have the sadness of recollection.

Instead repetition's love,

has the blissful security of the moment."

Separate yourself

From the walls of your nest

From the road
you've already travelled along

Put yourself into the hands of

The angel that guides you

And listen to the melody

That the trees sing

Untangle yourself

And fly over your silhouette

Observe in the wilderness

The glowing lights

And don't let

The shadows penetrate your space

Fight and confront them

And push them back

New rivers will emerge

Between you and others

Each pursuing their own path

To become stronger

Remain faithful

Flee from false pretences

Ignore the system and conspiracies

Stay away

From competition

Defend the integrity of your actions

Be part of the morning rush

Join those who make you feel good

And where others see nothing

You will know how to find the stone

That shapes matter

The source of inspiration

You will need to set sail

Before dawn

To cross the deep valleys

And raise new bridges

When clarity bursts through

And the colours explode

Where emptiness once reined

In the hearts.

Thank you!

To the bride and groom!

One more tune!
