-Why? -Well…
-Camilo! -Luisa! Luisa!
1977 marked the year
of the release of Spielberg's Jaws in Columbia…
WELCOME TO FABULOUS LAS VEGAS - NEVADA
KING ELVIS HAS DIED
…and the deaths of Elvis Presley and Charlie Chaplin, the silent film icon.
Rafael Antonio Niño won the cycling race Vuelta a Colombia.
THE GREAT VUELTA A COLOMBIA FINISH LINE (1977)
Long live freedom!
Freedom! Freedom!
It marked the year of the National Civic Strike,
which was a time of great social turmoil
…that affected nearly everyone.
Long live freedom!
This was also the year
of the dramatic robbery of the Bank of the Republic.

Rocky Valdez won the middleweight championship…
We have a winner!
Rocky Valdez is the new champion!
…and Junior won the championship
of the Professional Colombian Football League.
The novel Que viva la música by Andrés Caicedo
was published in '77.
That same year, he committed suicide.
Some more girls joined José María,
but honestly, that was less convenient at this particular time in our lives.
It was our senior year, which meant that maybe,
in a few more months, we would never see each other again.
I became more aware that my relationship with Eva
was now a war against time.
EVA LASTING
THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION EPISODE 06
On the document I just handed you,
you will see the entire schedule of each subject you will have this year.
If you have any questions, this is the time to ask.
Of course, little Miss Different.
Shut it, asswipe!
Ugh, I forgot. Now Quiñonez was in our class.
-Samper? -Eva.
Listen. My classmates and I have been thinking,
and we decided it would be great to include sex education
as a new subject in this year's curriculum.
That wasn't exactly true.
She was the one who had come up with that,
and she made the decision right then and there.
Listen, please. I don't think this is a bad idea at all.
I'm sure that if these kids receive information about this topic,
they'll avoid a lot of problems.
No, those problems will become more serious.
Are you kidding me? So "sexual education," huh?
Tell me. What will we teach them?
Were you born in the Middle Ages or something?
I'm sure there are many things about this topic that escape your grasp
and that you don't even know.
Listen, do you think this is some kind of joke, Professor?
No, sir. Quite the contrary.
I think we should be taking this very seriously.
-That's why I suggest that-- -Hey, easy, easy.
Why don't we summon a parents' meeting so we can discuss it with them, hmm?
No.
That option is absolutely off the table.
I won't let Miss Samper expose us
in the most important newspaper in the country.
So… so what do we do?
Well, if the kids want to have a class about sex education,
we will give them their sex education class.
No, you can't go on thinking
that sex is what you see in magazines and porn films.
Listen, Ava. Turning it into a subject like physics or chemistry,
I think it's quite…
-What? -Hey, let me.
Well, listen. It makes perfect sense when you think about it.
The periodic table and the residue theorem
will do absolutely nothing for you in life.
However, knowing about sex is fundamental to achieve true happiness.
Of course.
Hey. Hey, man.
For example, do you understand how women's bodies work?
Because if you don't, you'll find it really hard
to make your partners happy when the time comes.
Trust me. Having a satisfying sex life is vital to any couple.
In fact, many of us women don't know our own bodies.
Right, Luisa?
Come.
We have been led to believe that our bodies are sin cities.
That is why we're ashamed to explore it,
…get to know it,
touch it.
We end up accepting our domination.
It's really hard to enjoy sex if we don't even know our own bodies.
I know firsthand about this.
Ten years ago, the contraceptive pill arrived in the US.
Do you know how it works? No.
There's just so much to learn, you guys.
You know about everything, don't you?
I wish, but no.
No, I also need to learn.
A sex education class would be perfect for that.
Oh, guys, come on.
This is supposed to be our senior year, okay?
We have to leave a legacy for those after us.
Yes, yes, guys. I totally agree.
We have to know how this works
to avoid problems that… that can't be solved later on, you know?
Problems? Like what?
-Like, uh, problems-- -An unplanned pregnancy?
That, uh… No. Listen, I… I wasn't thinking about you.
-Shut up. -Harsh. That was heavy.
Well, this time, I'm not with Eva.
Besides, what else do we have to know about sex, huh?
Weren't you listening?
We should learn how a woman's body works.
What about it? Come on! What is a better way to learn?
Reading a book
or watching schoolgirls getting screwed in porn films like there's no tomorrow?
Or watching that chick in Deep Throat doing all the things she does?
What's her name? Linda Lovelace.
I'm not so sure those women enjoy those scenes.
Don't forget they're acting.
Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not convinced.
Anyway, how would this class work?
Who would teach it?
What would the assignments be?
No, man, this is super weird.
For now, it's just a proposal.
Let's see what happens, okay?
I don't know.
I'm still not convinced.
And you? What do you think?
What?
-What do you think about this? -I couldn't care less.
All I care about is Luisa.
Didn't you see her when she left?
Yes. Yeah.
Sometimes Granados doesn't know when to shut his mouth.
Well, maybe that wasn't his intention, man.
He just wants to suck up to Eva, and that's a downer.
Mother?
-Hi, good evening. -I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.
You didn't cook anything.
What do you mean?
Aren't you capable of frying an egg and heating up a pot of rice?
I couldn't find the eggs,
and I've been trying to open this thing for half an hour, but something's wrong.
Oh, something is wrong with you. Help me with this.
Keep it steady. That's it. Let's see.
Where were you?
Mm, around.
-"Around"? -Yes.
So the mysteries aren't over.
Oh my God!
And your scenes aren't over either.
There it is.
That's it.
Look. That wasn't so hard.
Mother.
Mother, I think we're both adults.
-Hmm. -Mother, you can talk to me.
What's going on? Tell me the truth.
Oh, José. Listen.
I'll tell you so you stop moaning, but please, don't put on a show.
I've started seeing someone.
What? Do you mean a… a…
A relationship.
And that's all I'm saying, okay?
That would be so much better with rice.
After analyzing Miss Samper's proposal,
which was made in the name of all of you…
Yes, sir?
I just wanna clarify that Samper wasn't talking for all of us.
Just her idiot friends.
You're the idiot here.
Mr. Quiñonez,
there's no need to use that vocabulary in this institution.
And regardless of the circumstances, as requested,
we have made the decision to include the subject of behavioral health
in this year's curriculum.
Behavioral health?
No, listen. We asked for a sex education class.
This is the name of the subject.
But why does it have to be called that? Why can't it be called sex education?
Because we consulted with the Ministry of Education,
and they suggested this name.
Think about it. It has everything to do with it
because you'll discuss behaviors and health.
No, I don't agree.
I think that name gives the subject a rather moralistic overtone.
You're never satisfied, are you? You're irritating.
Well, the other news I have for all of you
is that the person who will be in charge of teaching this new subject
is our own dearest Professor Tello.
The king of the virgins.
You're joking, right?
No, I'm not joking.
We believe he is the most prepared person to handle this topic with all of you.
Guys, are we gonna let them make fun of us like this?
Not only do they name the subject
in a way that literally cancels the objective it should pursue,
but they chose the religion teacher to conduct it.
Are you okay with this?
I think it's fine, Professor. Tello is the right fit for it.
It's not that we don't want to help you,
but Emiliano took a look at your résumé, and…
I know.
I don't have any professional or academic experience, but
there must be something I can do.
-Please tell me there is. -I know.
But this company is precisely specialized in computers and systems.
I can typewrite.
I'm great with a typewriter. I'm fast.
They're looking for programmers, not typewriters.
I'm sorry.
No.
Thank you for trying to help me. Don't worry.
But I still need to find something because I really need to pay the bills.
Have you thought of anything else?
Of course.
I even considered selling Bibles door to door, so you can imagine.
I thought I could talk to Adolfo
and ask him if I can waitress or something.
Ana,
do you know what I would do?
I would find a job as a secretary.
You were always so energetic and very wise.
If you're as good with a typewriter as you say,
then that's a pretty good start.
"Corinthians 6:9."
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?"
Camilo, check it out.
"Do not be deceived."
"Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate men who practice homosexuality…"
"Galatians 5:19."
"Now the works of the flesh are obvious."
"Sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery
that is idolatry."
I have a question, Professor Tello.
You have to listen first and then ask what you want.
How many times a week do you have sex with your wife?
Oh!
Stop it, stop it, stop it!
Because you have to know what you're talking about,
especially if you're a teacher.
And I get the feeling you have absolutely no clue what sex is all about.
Enough.
And… and… and do you know, Miss Samper?
Well, I'm sure I know a lot more than you do.
A lot more?
"Hebrews 13:4."
"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled,
for God will be the judge of the sexually immoral and adulterous."
Have you ever given your wife an orgasm?
Do you even know what a female orgasm is?
No, Eva, you really went too far.
Admit it. It's the least you can do.
But are you telling me you didn't realize what was happening?
That wasn't a sex education class.
That was Professor Tello trying to scare you with hell.
Oh, don't tell me you guys believe in those things.
Eva, you can't be right about everything.
-You wanted this class, now you have it. -That's not the class I wanted.
Did you ever ask us what we wanted?
No, you never asked.
You told everyone that you were speaking on our behalf
when you never asked any of us.
Yes, that's true. Listen.
I personally don't want any more problems, okay?
All I want is to graduate
without drawing attention to myself and put an end to this torture.
But what's the rush, man?
Have you decided what you will do after graduating?
Yes, of course. Of course, dude. I'll be a soccer player.
And what about you? What are you gonna do?
Wait, let's get back to what we were talking about.
Don't we all agree that they made fun of and provoked us?
Thanks.
Because I'm with Eva on this one.
-You can't walk away right now, guys. -What a coincidence.
And you support Eva. Why, Camilo?
Because you agree that this class isn't the one we deserve?
Or to be on Eva's good side?
The first thing, clearly.
Are you sure?
Luisa, wait a minute.
What's wrong?
No, Eva, I'm really sorry.
I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel bad, but I just…
But… but what?
It's okay. You can talk to me. What is it?
It's just… I can't. I…
I don't know if I can go on with all this.
Eva, every day of my life,
every single day,
I wake up thinking
that the only reason you and Camilo aren't together is because of me.
And since I have to live in his house, it's even harder
because I see him suffering, and I feel guilty,
but then I remember I'm the one suffering the most in this situation.
That's why I get really angry, and I take it out on other people,
and I take it out on him, and I don't… I don't know.
Trust me, I get you.
I thought after the trip and everything,
I had managed to move on, but now we're back.
I see how I react and realize I can't keep lying anymore.
And I hate being there.
I hate living in a house that's not mine. I hate being in his house.
I hate being in the house of someone who thinks I'm a problem
that can't be solved. I hate it.
Luisa.
I don't know if hearing this will help you in any way…
but you should know that you're not the only reason
why I'm not dating Camilo.
Okay?
I'll tell you something
that has to do with what I told you the other day.
But you can't tell anyone. Promise?
Come.
Hey, man. Was it too obvious?
What do you think?
That sucks.
That's just what I needed right now. Opening my mouth and hurting Luisa.
Well, yeah. Lately, that's all you've been doing.
And for nothing. 'Cause you aren't getting closer to Eva.
Well, man, don't be so pessimistic.
It's the truth.
You give her Christmas presents. You second all of her motions.
But you're standing in the same place you were a few months ago.
I say this as your brother.
I think it's time for you to forget about Eva.
You have zero chance, especially now.
Oh, thank you so much.
Those are the exact words I need to hear right now.
Consider this. We're about to graduate high school.
Maybe you never see Eva again.
Instead of wasting your time going after her,
you should focus on Luisa, bro.
Dude,
she's amazing.
She's loving.
And talented. And noble.
She's easygoing.
And intelligent.
I know that deep down, she's still into you.
Think about it.
I'm sorry for the delay.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Today, we will have a very entertaining class.
Silence, please.
We will talk about Epicuro de Samos.
The dilemma philosopher.
Do any of you have a dilemma?
Luisa's reactions, my conversation with Arbeláez,
and the philosophy class about Epicuro de Samos
got me thinking and reminded me that,
even though I was internally facing huge dilemmas,
I had a life that demanded I take responsibility and make decisions.
First of all, I would like to thank you for welcoming me.
I know you're a very busy person, so I'll cut to the chase.
Um, I need to get my job at the paper back.
I know that you were absolutely right when you fired me,
but I am in desperate need of another chance to do it right.
-Well, Mr. Granados. -I'm sorry. Excuse me, just for a minute.
I know I made an unforgivable mistake regarding my trip to Puerto Rico.
And I understand that, like my mom says,
there is never a second chance to make a good first impression.
But, um, I'm going through a very difficult situation.
I really, really……really need to get back to work.
You don't have to know about this.
It's not your problem,
but, um,
I'm having a baby.
I imagine that you… know what that means.
It means you're making your second mistake, Mr. Granados.
Applying for a job, exposing personal problems
is devaluing yourself as a professional.
This may sound harsh,
but I'm not looking for journalists in need.
What I want are good journalists.
And I am good.
Well, why didn't you start from there?
You're right about that.
I'm still getting good comments about the article on Pambelé.
And… and I know I can do better than that.
I… I just need you to give me another chance.
It's very likely that Rafael Antonio Niño will win the Vuelta a Colombia again,
so his triumph won't be so exciting.
I want something different,
like what you did with Pambelé.
Mm-hmm. I'll give you something special.
Thank you.
Sorry I came to you uninvited. I didn't know where to go.
What happened?
No, I… I'm ashamed to tell you.
Oh, José. What did you do?
Not me.
No, not me.
It's my mother.
-Mrs. Lucy? -Mm-hmm.
What's wrong with her?
Can you imagine she confessed
she's starting a relationship with someone?
-Hmm? -Hmm.
Can you picture my dad turning over in his grave,
knowing that my mother, at this stage in the game,
is in a romantic relationship?
I don't think he is turning over anywhere.
And I don't think this is something you should make a fuss about.
Your mother became a widow many years ago.
She has the right to rebuild her life. What is the problem with that?
My mother is an old woman. That's the problem.
So what do you mean?
Are you saying that because she is an old woman, she can't fall in love?
You should feel happy for her.
No.
-You asked for my opinion. -Well, thank you.
Hmm. Frankly, Ana, I'm quite worried about the moral relaxation
that our family and the world is experiencing.
On the contrary. I think this is a sign from life.
To you.
So you understand, even if you don't like it,
that women, nowadays, are so much more
than just a wife or a mother.
Is that why you can't be with me?
Among other things, yeah.
Thank you for your time.
I realize I made a mistake by coming here. Have a good day.
José.
I hate having to bring this up, but
I need money.
Ah!
For Camilo's allowance, some bills, the market.
That's strange. Aren't you a feminist now?
You can live alone, but you can't provide for your family?
You know what?
Forget it.
-What's up, Pa? -Hey, there.
What are you doing here?
Screwing things up. You know me.
-Hmm, well… -Hey, kiddo.
-Are you busy? -No.
All right, then. Come with me.
Um…
-Where are we going? -You'll see.
Thanks for coming with me.
No problem.
I'm not busy at all.
Come on, Luisa. Tell me the truth.
Do you really want to be here to study,
or is it because you don't want to be at the Granados' house?
Talk to me. You can trust me.
What happens between us stays between us.
Ana is a sweet woman.
She treats me as if I was her daughter.
Camilo is doing a good job. He tries his best.
It's just that I know I'm a problem in that house.
And I feel so ungrateful
because I wake up every day with the urge to leave
when they just wanna make me feel welcome there.
But I know I'm a problem they can't break free from.
That's not true. I spoke with Camilo, and I know that--
No, Rodrigo.
Don't comfort me with lies. Please don't lie.
I wish I was invisible
so I could come in and out of the house without them seeing me.
But since I wasn't born with that power,
the only thing I can possibly do is leave early and come back late at night.
I'm sorry.
Can I ask you a favor?
You can say no. I can go on my own.
Of course. Tell me about it.
So it's, uh, here.
Okay. So this is where you and your friends come to chill out.
Yes. More or less. But we can go somewhere else.
Oh, no, no, no, no. Come, kiddo. Let's stay here, man. The place is nice.
Besides, we won't stay long. Just one beer.
Kiddo,
this weird thing you have with… with Eva, right?
You screw it up or what?
-All the time. -Hmm.
Why are we like that, huh? Tell me.
Well, I think that
we like women that are bigger than us.
Mm-hmm.
Don't generalize, kiddo. You…
Hey, hey. Let me.
That is… that's your problem, not mine.
My case is quite different, kiddo.
Why am I trying to deny it?
You're absolutely right.
Your mom is too much of a woman for me.
I'm nothing but a useless idiot.
You have to help me, Camilo.
Help me.
But what can I do for you, Pa?
Just talk to her.
-Ask her to forgive me. -Okay. It's okay, Dad.
Tell her to let me come back home, kiddo.
Listen, I… I'll do whatever she says.
Swear to God. I'll change.
I'll become someone else if that's what she wants, but…
-Hey, it's okay. I'll… I'll talk to her. -I really need to…
I need to be with your mother again.
-Hey, I'll talk to her, okay? -Thank you, son. Thank you.
-I love you, okay? -Me too.
You're a hell of a son.
I promised to talk to my mother.
I did so because I didn't wanna hurt my dad,
not because I thought he stood a chance of getting her back.
To be honest, I thought his case was as difficult as mine with Eva,
or even worse.
Yes, ma'am. Don't worry. I'll eat here at Grandma's.
-You sure don't need anything? -Yes, I'm fine.
-Okay, son. I love you. -And Luisa?
-I don't know. She's not here. -She's not there yet?
When did you see her last?
Well, uh, last time I saw her was when we all left school.
About three hours ago?
Yes. It's weird.
Well, let's wait a little longer.
Well, uh, I need a favor. Can you give me a call when she arrives?
-Of course, Camilo. -Okay, Mom.
-I love you. -Love you too. Bye.
Hmm. I just got your dad to lay down in bed.
-Hmm. -What did he drink?
Beer.
-But he drank them all? -More or less.
He's feeling down because of my mom.
I figured.
Well, I'll go cook something for you.
Thanks, Grandma.
Oh, wait! Could I use your phone again?
-Of course. -Thank you.
THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION
-Hello? -What's up?
-It's Camilo. -How are you?
I'm fine.
Hey, listen, are you with Luisa?
No. I haven't seen her since we left school. Why?
Well. She hasn't arrived home yet,
and I thought you were with her.
No. No idea. Have you called Martín?
No. I wanted to call you first.
Mm.
Okay. Let me know when she arrives, okay?
Don't worry about the time.
If I know something, I'll call you. I need to go.
-Okay. Thank you. Uh… -Bye.
Hello.
That keyhole is tricky.
Mm.
First, you have to-- Let me. First, you have to pull, and then-- Look.
First, you have to pull like this. Then you turn and push.
Where… where were you?
I'm not trying to get in your business or anything,
but we were all a bit worried.
Um, I went to visit a friend from my old school,
but I lost track of time, and I forgot to let you know.
Okay.
They gave me my job back at the newspaper today.
-Hmm? -Yeah.
That's great.
I'm gonna… I'll write about Rafael Antonio Niño.
Really? Hmm.
They're giving me an advance on my paycheck,
and I think we could use that, uh, to pay for a few doctor appointments
and to buy some clothes, and the cradle and diapers.
Yes.
The baby's gonna need a lot of things, and it's… it's best if…
Luisa, hey.
About what happened earlier at school, I just wanted… to let you know
that I don't think you're a problem at all for me.
I know. Don't worry. I get it now.
And I know that with all you have going on with Eva, I'm the least of your worries.
Good night.
But what do you mean? Uh, come back! Luisa!
Even though I insisted, Luisa wouldn't tell me anything else,
so I didn't sleep a wink that night because my head was a mess.
The next morning came full of more surprises.
-Good morning, Mom. -Good morning, son.
Ah, thank you.
Where's Luisa? She's not upstairs.
She left early this morning.
I have a feeling she wants to spend as little time here as possible.
I have the same feeling. What should we do?
Hmm.
Camilo, did something happen that you're not telling me?
In a way, yes.
Okay. You'll tell me on the way to school.
I wanna know.
On the way to school?
I'm going to school with you today to ask if they can give me a job.
Don't take long. I wanna talk to Dr. Alicia before she gets busy.
-Blow on that chocolate. It's really hot. -I'm not--
Wait, Mom. Mom, wait a minute. Listen.
I wanna tell you about something, hmm.
-Mm-hmm. -I spent some time with my dad yesterday.
Mm, and well, he's really struggling.
We… we've been talking.
And he said he regrets everything that has happened,
and I really think you should listen to him.
-Camilo. -Because I…
José's sending me messages through you now?
Uh, no.
Then tell him that our problems have to be fixed between us.
He's so childish. Jeez.
Evidently, my dad's situation
was much more complicated than what I had ever imagined.
All right.
They told me they have great doctors that can take care of you.
They aren't doing appointments, so you have to get in line.
Well, then I'll get in line.
I'll have to miss out on the first hour of class,
but you can go if you want to.
I'm not gonna go anywhere, Luisa.
I won't leave you alone here.
But I don't think it's right for you to hide this from Granados.
I know that he's committed to the baby.
Yeah, you're right.
But I feel like Camilo has other things to take care of right now.
Like what?
Well, I had a conversation with Eva yesterday.
I could tell you about it if you promise you won't say a thing.
My lips are sealed.
-Morning. -Good morning.
Good morning. No to sexual misery.
-No more sexual misery. -What's this?
Good morning. Thank you.
Sex education is very important for all of us.
I didn't expect any less of you.
Dummy.
-Good morning, Mrs. Granados. -What's up?
-Hi, Eva. -Good morning, Camilo.
-What is this? -Read it.
Was this what Luisa was referring to yesterday
when she said I had bigger problems?
Was Eva fighting another battle that was going to kill me too?
-Yeah. -Where is my sister?
I don't know, but Arbeláez isn't here either.
I couldn't care less about him. Are you dumb?
But, man, I have no idea.
-Who knows? You? -Look at that butt.
Ah, go fuck yourself, dipshit!
Stop!
I know nothing, man. She wasn't home when I left.
-Why isn't she here? -I know as much as you do.
Luisa lives at your house.
I know, man. I know. But I've been pretty busy, you know?
I arrived home late last night. We didn't talk much.
And this morning, she left super early.
Snap out of it, man.
-You promised me you'd take care of Luisa. -I know.
And I can see she's not really comfortable with you right now.
No, don't worry about it, man. I'll take care of her.
I got my job at the newspaper back, and with that money,
I'll be able to buy the things she needs, and I'll take her to the doctor.
Trust me. Everything's… everything's fine.
I'll try.
-Hey, go sit. -Good morning.
Gentlemen.
Before we begin with the incredible class we have for today,
Eva would like to read something for us.
-Come on. -Thank you, Professor.
I guess most of you read this already,
but since I know that some of you are allergic to books,
I'm more than delighted to share this with you.
Yes, sir?
Are we forced to listen to this pipsqueak?
Of course you do, Quiñonez. You should.
Because maybe I'll get motivated
and end up using this topic for our first exam.
Sh!
It's a passage from The Sexual Revolution of Wilhelm Reich.
"The sexual misery of youth is basically a social problem
that would not exist
but for the demand for sexual abstinence made by conservative society."
"All the phenomena of the conflict and the neurosis of puberty
derive from one fact."
"This is the conflict between the fact that an adolescent, at about the age 15,
reaches sexual maturity…
i.e., experiences the physiological necessity of sexual intercourse."
"And the other fact of being economically and structurally incapable
of creating the legal framework
demanded by society for sexual intercourse."
"The reactionary will never understand the fundamental truth
that sexual misery is an integral part of the social order which he defends."
"He sees its cause in human sinfulness
or believes that sexual misery exists
because people do not follow his ascetic and monogamous demands."
"He cannot be expected to admit that he is an accomplice in the very thing
which he tries to abolish with his reforms."
"The result might shake his economic basis."
Well, what I'm gathering from what I just heard, basically,
is that Miss Samper here has a pernicious disposition.
And if you are in search for someone to punish your naughtiness,
I'd be more than happy to help you.
-Watch your mouth, man! Respect her! -I'm speaking with the lady, asshole.
We debate with arguments here, Quiñonez.
I think your point of view is a bit reductionist, isn't it?
It is, Professor, but it's also true in a way.
Just one thing. If I were to look for someone to punish my naughtiness,
you can be sure you would be the last person on the list.
There you have it.
Well, but, uh, why is that, Samper?
You would enjoy yourself more with me than you do with that idiot Granados.
Hey, don't talk about me, man.
Although I always wanted to tell you, man, that I would love to know your formula.
Because you've been with the only two women in class.
-I'll give you that. -He's right, dude.
-Although next time, you should share. -Shut your mouth!
Why are you pretending to be a tough guy in front of the teacher, asshole?
Oh! Miss Larrarte. I apologize, but I can't talk right now.
I have to go talk to the students in class 6B.
-I'll wait for you, then. -Yes, yes, yes.
-No, but he has to respect… -Back to your seats.
And we're back with the anonymous posters, Samper.
Well, I wouldn't say they are anonymous
because everyone here knows I brought them.
And I did it because the behavior and health subject
is a joke to me.
So I will exercise my resistance.
Really? What will you do? Teach your own subject?
I can't understand why a subject
that was created with the aim of providing information about sexuality
has turned into a court
where you try to control the freest of human feelings.
What are you talking about, Samper?
Eva.
Apparently, you haven't read Reich's text.
I know the author's work.
But the fact that his ideas are put together in a book
doesn't immediately give him all the truth on this subject.
Well, I think that Reich's ideas are much more comprehensible
than those of Professor Tello,
who, I think, is more a representative of the Inquisition than a school teacher.
I demand you show respect to the faculty.
Well, then you should show some respect to us, right?
Don't talk for all of us, Samper, okay?
I feel represented by what Eva is saying.
-Of course, obviously. -Hey, calm down. Calm down, boys.
This is all your fault, Mr. Adolfo.
You allowed your class
to become a rally against this institution.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Mr. Tello, with all due respect, Dr. Alicia,
let me remind you all that this subject is called philosophy,
and Reich is one of the most important authors
of modern philosophy.
Let me also remind you that this institution
allows academic freedom and honors it.
Or am I wrong, Dr. Alicia?
Yeah. Preach, Professor. Tell them!
Everything is in order.
The baby is healthy. Congratulations.
Thank you.
Did it bother you that I told the doctor you were the father?
I didn't feel like explaining myself, you know?
No. Not at all.
In fact, I felt really good.
I mean, I never thought of myself as a dad before.
And I have to say,
kinda like the idea.
Hmm.
Thank you so much, Rodrigo. You're a good friend.
If we hurry, we can make it to third period.
All right, but would you mind if we arrived separately?
I don't want people at José María gossiping about us.
No, sure. Go ahead. You go first.
Thank you so much.
I love you.
Running a school like this one is not easy.
And dealing with a student like Eva Samper, much less.
She's the only one who unsettles me, and I end up making mistakes.
I know I shouldn't have interrupted that philosophy class. No!
And least of all,
expose myself to have a discussion with her in front of her classmates!
No, I lose authority!
And you better believe it.
To deal with these kids, that's what you need.
Full authority.
But having conversations are helpful.
I know, sure.
But to have effective and constructive conversations,
one has to be calm and collected, and I was very unsettled.
I'm sorry, Miss Larrarte.
I didn't mean to drag you into my exercise of self-criticism.
I needed to let off some steam.
Oh, it's all right.
Enough.
Well, um, tell me.
What brings you here? How can I be of service?
Well, Dr. Alicia, I came here because I'm looking for a job,
and I wanted to know if you needed a secretary.
Once again, thank you for everything, Professor.
-Mm-hmm. -Yeah.
It's been no problem. Happy to help. Yeah.
Actually, we're thinking of doing more interventions,
and we will need your support.
Ah, listen.
I'm with you guys.
But you have to fight this battle on your own.
This is a battle against the establishment.
And although I don't feel proud about it, I'm part of that establishment.
I'll give you a piece of advice.
What you want to do has a lot to do with politics.
And this country is still a democracy.
You have to learn and master the art of what? Negotiation.
Because imposing one's ideas, whatever the cost,
is the first step to absolutism. Be careful with that.
You have a golden opportunity, but be wise and make the most of it.
Mom. Mom! What's up?
-Shouldn't you be in class? -I wanted to talk to you.
How did it go with Dr. Alicia?
I just left her office. She'll try to find something for me here.
As a professor?
Camilo, please. I wish.
I need a bachelor's degree, and I didn't go to college. Hey.
I saw you arguing in class. What happened?
We're trying to change things,
but Professor Adolfo has suggested we stop protesting against the system
and negotiate with Dr. Alicia.
Oh. He's an interesting professor.
Yes, yes, yes. Adolfo is the best at school.
-Well, go back. -Yes.
-Love you. -Love you, Mom. See ya.
Are you aware of what you're asking me?
I'm just trying to work as a mediator
so that this crisis doesn't escalate any further.
It was a mistake to appoint Professor Tello
for the subject of behavioral health, and you know it.
The kids have a good point.
So why do you keep refusing to hear them out?
No, not the kids.
Eva Samper.
And we both know that.
Let's forget about Eva.
You can't solve a problem by creating another one.
And least of all, by being so emotional.
Professor, let me remind you who you're talking to.
There's no need.
I'm talking to the boss whom I respect and admire.
And if I didn't, I wouldn't serve as a mediator between you and Eva Samper.
-She's willing to negotiate? -Yes.
Then we can talk today after class ends.
All she is asking is…
…is for it to be held on neutral ground.
The library was the neutral ground chosen
and mediated by Professor Adolfo.
Dr. Alicia and Eva sat at the table in a very complex negotiation.
Finally, they came to an agreement.
However, we were about to face another crisis.
We were at Club 68 waiting for Eva to arrive
and celebrate with us what we considered her big triumph.
Where were you this morning? Granados told me you left early today.
-And you missed the first hour of class. -I was busy.
Doing what?
Ugh. No, Martín.
Are you gonna be the annoying older brother again?
Why can't I worry about you?
There isn't anything to worry about.
Everything's good. Relax.
Are you sure?
Something's going on with Luisa.
She left my house super early this morning,
and she missed some classes.
Hey, you did that too.
Where were you?
-Hey, guys. -What's up?
I'm good.
Hey, Eva's taking long, right?
Yes, but, well, you need some time to work on a negotiation
like the one she's closing with Alicia, bro.
I know that, but what I don't get
is why we couldn't be part of that negotiation?
Look, if you can't help, at least don't hurt, man.
Besides, you haven't been exactly supporting Eva with this situation, hmm?
But what should we do? Lick her boots like you do every day?
Well, I just hope Eva manages to convince Dr. Alicia.
It'll be tough. Let's play.
I think the wait is over.
-Look. There she is. -Huh?
What the fuck is going on?
Is this the man from the pictures? nvince Dr. Alicia.
