Camilo!
-Hi. -Hi.
How are you?
Good. All good.
-Did you do the movie review? -No, I couldn't write anything.
Yes, I figured.
That's why I brought you this.
It's called Visor 35.
It's a magazine that some guys were publishing in Cali.
They do movie reviews and critiques,
so I think it could work for what you have to do.
Yes, for sure. It's exactly what I need.
In fact, there's an article
about Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange,
which is also based on a novel like Dona Flor.
And that book?
Oh, yeah. When I went to the bookstore to ask about the magazine,
they told me that the director's name was Andrés Caicedo,
and he committed suicide a few months ago
by taking 60 secobarbital pills.
The thing is that, before he died, he left this novel written,
and it has just been published.
So I bought the magazine for you and the book for me.
-Liveforever? -Mm-hmm.
How is it?
I don't know.
I haven't started it yet.
Now, to teach you from the simplest to the most complex…
"Hey, you."
"Make your childhood more intense
by loading up on adult experiences."
"Couple corruption to the freshness of your youth."
"Rappel down the possibilities of precocity."
"You'll pay the price."
"By 19, all you'll be left with are tired eyes,
emotions spent,
strength sapped."
That day, Eva and I took advantage
of the complicated and always incomprehensible
trigonometry class to read in a camouflaged way.
Me, the film magazine, and she, the book by Andrés Caicedo.
This book was a Pandora's box
that led us on a long journey of experimentation.
Okay, guys.
Are the rules clear?
-Sure. -They're clear on my end.
Yeah, sure. Me too. On my end as well. Of course.
Any questions?
Then let's make history
and make Wilhelm Reich's Sexual Revolution a reality.
And there I was, heading straight into the unknown,
ready to challenge thousands of years of morality and customs,
determined not to be the one behind the times,
and above all,
supporting the woman for whom life was worth living.
EVA LASTING
LIVEFOREVER EPISODE 08
At the skating rink,
I remembered what Eva had said about The Divine Comedy,
and I crossed the threshold into the first circle.
I entered the paranoia.
PROLOGUE ROLLER 77
This is called Roller 77.
A very popular acid in the clubs of the United States.
It is similar to LSD but milder.
Weed is ancient history, guys.
With this, you can touch the sky and see life in color.
Weed was not exactly ancient history.
But the fact that psychedelic drugs had appeared
was the talk of the town.
And now, I was about to try it for myself.
I must admit that I did it more to avoid not fitting in
than anything else.
Cool.
♪ She's crazy like a fool ♪
♪ What about it, Daddy Cool ♪
♪ I'm crazy like a fool ♪
♪ What about it, Daddy Cool ♪
♪ Daddy, Daddy Cool ♪
♪ Daddy, Daddy Cool… ♪
Actually, one of the dangers
of any drug trip is paranoia,
and that prevented me from enjoying the plan.
I ended up feeling excluded
and turned into a spectator of Eva and the Italian's game.
♪ She's crazy like a fool ♪
♪ What about it Daddy Cool ♪
It was a miserable night.
It wasn't just the puking, the songs, or the roller skating.
It was having to ride in the back seat.
It was having to accept that Batman would take me home in his Batmobile.
And, above all, to think that once they dropped me off,
they would go on the road together.
Maybe to continue the party in his Batcave, but without me.
It was extra time that my rival was gaining, and I couldn't do anything.
Definitely, in that first day of adventure,
the one and only loser was me.
Hi, son. Where were you?
Hi, Mom. Hanging out with the guys.
Hmm. Here you go, Professor.
Thank you, Ana.
Hello, Professor.
How are you, Camilo?
All good.
Are you hungry?
No. No, I'm not hungry.
I'm gonna go upstairs because I have to write something for the newspaper.
About Dona Flor. You watched it, right?
-Mm-hmm. -Mm, yes. We liked it, right?
A lot.
Did you like it?
Mm, kind of. Excuse me.
See you.
-Would you like one? -Please. Thank you, Ana.
Even though I was running out of time,
I couldn't write anything about the movie.
My mind, the lunatic that gave me no peace,
kept imagining what Eva and Batman would be up to at that hour without me.
Hey, there.
-Hi. -Are you busy?
No, it's fine. Come in.
How did it go?
Rodrigo told me what Eva proposed to you and Alfredo.
Yeah, but I shouldn't have accepted it.
It's clear he has all the odds in his favor.
But it's not a competition, is it? I don't think that was Eva's intention.
Rather, I think it's like a way of…
of sharing love.
But don't look at it as a competition
because you're going to screw up the experience
and end up losing out.
With her, everything always goes wrong. Really.
When she proposes something to me, and I end up accepting it,
I take one step forward and two steps back.
Today, we did this new drug,
and I… ended up all panicky,
puking like an idiot.
Meanwhile, they were having a blast.
No, Camilo, but you have to be very careful with drugs.
That's very serious. You're gonna be a father.
I know, I know. Don't worry, okay?
Don't worry. Calm down.
My relationship with the Roller 77 started and died today.
Rodrigo told Martín what's happening between us.
I have to tell you something.
What?
About Luisa.
What about my little sister?
I'm in love with her.
For real?
How did he take it?
Good.
Seriously?
Yes.
He'd prefer me to be with him
than with someone as immature and unstable as you.
What? This weekend with my dad?
That's exactly right, Camilo.
Don't make it difficult for me. I already told José, and he agrees.
Without asking me about it?
Don't forget he's your father, and we don't live together anymore.
He wants to spend time with you.
-Right, and I suppose you wanna go to-- -Hey!
Be very careful with your words, Camilo. Show some respect.
-Then you can call your dad. -No!
Tell him that you don't wanna see him this weekend.
Principal's office.
Yes, ma'am. Tell me when.
I may not have had the car,
the looks, or the voice of the Italian guy,
but I had something that could balance the scales with Eva.
I knew that, when I focused, I could write with talent and depth.
Two qualities she really valued.
Done.
It's ready. Do you wanna read it before I call the editor?
Yes, and then let's celebrate.
But this time, we have to find a different place.
Where are you thinking?
I entered the second circle, the ecstasy one.
Hand in hand with alcohol and salsa brava.
Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz welcomed us with the beat of drums and trumpets.
Hey, hold up, Eva.
CHAPTER 1 RICHIE RAY
"Leave something of yourself behind and die in peace,
trusting a few close friends."
"Let no one turn you into a grown-up, a respectable man."
"Never stop being a child,
even when you've got eyes in the back of your head,
and teeth are starting to fall out."
"Your parents gave birth to you."
"Let them support you forever, and fob them off with empty promises."
"Who gives a fuck? Never save for the future."
"Never let yourself become someone serious."
"Let your lack of reflection and contradiction
be your rule of conduct."
"Refuse all truces."
"Make your home amid ruins, excess, and trembling."
"Everything is yours."
"You are entitled to everything."
"Charge dearly for it."
Hmm.
-Hey, Dad. -Finally has the decency to show up.
What's up, Dad?
-Camilo, you reek of alcohol. -Ah, no way!
Sh.
No, I just had one beer with the guys, that… that's all.
That's all. No big deal, no big deal.
-Oh, no big deal? -Mm-mm.
Family's falling apart, and everyone, except for me, is having a blast.
Mm-hmm.
This family is falling apart,
and I'm having a blast.
That's a good pun.
-Can I borrow it for the-- -I'm not joking, Camilo.
Really.
It's alarming what is going on with this family.
Look at your grandmother.
An elderly woman
who is out for the weekend with her boyfriend.
And you? A minor, arriving this late, smelling of booze.
What about your mom?
I called her, and Luisa said she hasn't come home tonight.
-Who knows where she is? -Hmm?
Huh?
I know where she is…
and I would worry more about her.
What do you mean?
Tell me. What are you talking about?
I have to go on in a minute, but for now, I'd like to dance.
Yeah, sure.
Of course! Oh, I get it.
This is why you wanted me to stay with my dad, right?
Oh, please, Camilo. I don't have to hide from anyone to do what I want.
So are you gonna keep denying
that you are up to something with Professor Adolfo?
Nah, ah, ah!
And I don't have to tell you what I'm up to either.
Don't you cherish your privacy?
Then please respect mine, even if I'm your mom.
Drop the tragic face, Camilo!
I'm not interested in a relationship with anyone, okay? I'm serious.
I'm still working things out with your dad.
You think I wanna jump to another man?
No! No, I don't.
I wanna be free, to be happy, to be content,
to be able to go out and do things just for me.
Without being tied down.
And if I wanna go have fun with someone,
I'm gonna go do it no matter who likes it, hmm?
Mom, are you drunk?
You're so exhausting, Camilo.
Just like José.
That hurt.
-I'm just joking with you. -Tell me now.
-Tell me now! -No.
Are you gonna tell me or not?
I'm just… I'm just wasted.
Mm-hmm.
Look.
Hey!
Pretending to be drunk and then asleep,
I managed to dodge my dad's questions.
Or, at least, postpone the answers until the next day.
I spent the rest of the night
reading the book that Eva had devoured in two days.
It was clear she identified with Mona, the protagonist of the story,
a rebellious girl from a good family
who, through a party accident, had discovered the underworld
and, above all, the salsa scene in Cali.
In the novel, there were two important male characters
who interacted with the girl.
Rubén Paces, a tormented young man who played Richie Ray's salsa at parties,
and Bárbaro, a thief who was a fan of mushrooms and adrenaline.
Reading the novel,
I thought again that, despite what Luisa said,
this was indeed a competition that threw me into an old dilemma.
Which of the two characters did I wanna be?
The tormented Rubén or the daring Bárbaro?
And even more important, which of the two did Eva prefer?
Camilo.
LIVEFOREVER
Camilo.
Camilo, wake up.
Camilo!
-Camilo! Wake up! -Ow!
-Wake up right now. -Ow! I was sleeping.
-Your friend Eva is calling. -Huh?
Just a second.
-Too hungover? -No, no, I was asleep.
Hmm.
-Hello? -Hey, Camilo.
Hi, Eva. I'm, just…
-Did I wake you up? -Yeah, just a little bit.
-I can call back later. -No, no, it's all good.
-Okay, I wanna throw something out there. -Yeah.
-I'm going to the desert. -Tomorrow?
-You going to school tomorrow? -What time?
-Like, at 9:00? -But we have school.
Wanna ditch? So are you in?
Well, yeah, fine. Will you pick me up?
Yeah, no problem.
Okay, okay. See you tomorrow. Bye.
See ya.
Kiddo, your article is in the newspaper.
Oh, yeah, about Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands.
-Yes. -Did you read it?
Yes, I liked it.
-Oh. -It's good. Let's read it.
"Despite the film's lighthearted tone, the characters stray from the stereotype,
and at times, there are more questions than answers left hanging in the air."
Yes, it's…
I don't understand, kiddo. What are you saying?
Is the movie good, or is it bad?
I… The thing is that
I explored some concepts
so that the people who read it
can decide whether the movie is good or bad.
-Oh, very smart of you, kiddo. -Yes.
-Why don't you do the same with me? -How so?
Tell me what your mom is up to, and I'll decide if it's good or bad.
No, no, because… Ah!
Don't tell me it's 'cause you were drunk. I wanna hear it!
-Stop! -Tell me now! Let's put it this way.
Either you tell me now, or I won't let you cut school.
-I'll ruin your plans with Eva. Tell me! -Dad, why?
What's your mom up to?
And… and you just eat it?
Mm, yes. That's it.
And what do you feel?
Didn't you read the book?
Yes, but I haven't finished it yet.
You'll hallucinate.
And the effect is more powerful than the Roller 77.
Okay, let's do it.
Think about it so you don't feel bad and end up at the doctor.
No, my problem is with pharmaceuticals, not with nature, bro.
Well, good, then.
They say that with mushrooms, the shapes look different,
and you see colors you've never seen before.
And it's possible that you'll end up facing your ghosts.
Oh, yes.
They also say that a trip with this is like a year of psychotherapy,
and we all need it here, no doubt.
Yeah.
It was the age of curiosity and risk,
that time when we all felt eternal and invincible,
capable of opening any door
without fear of what we would find on the other side.
And so, I penetrated the third circle.
Enter the confusion.
CHAPTER 2 THE DESERT
Eva!
What began as a good trip
ended up forcing us to face our demons.
-I don't have any more time. -Do you hear the sky?
As Alfredo had anticipated,
the demons that lived in each of us surfaced
and prevented us from reaching the promised land mentioned by Caicedo.
In our absence, the world continued to function
without control and without needing us.
So Granados left you alone all weekend?
It wasn't like that.
I didn't wanna go with him to his father's place,
but Mrs. Granados looked out for me.
That asshat is not fit to be a dad.
He does what he can, Martín.
He's already got a job. He's started buying presents for the baby.
What that idiot needs to do is focus
and stop being Eva's lapdog,
which is why his life's a mess.
Look! They're not even here yet.
I wouldn't be surprised if they are cutting school for their stupid games.
Guys! The professor is not coming today.
He's with Granados' dad outside, who's beating him up!
Come on, let's watch!
…didn't stop him. Are you okay?
So that you learn to respect married women.
Do you understand, lousy philosopher? Do you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let me go. I've already done what I had to do.
-I won't do anything else. -Hey, hey! Why are you taking him away?
Why are you arresting me? He's messing with my wife!
Hey, philosopher, look at me! Look!
-Let us see the show go on. Come on! -Hey! Hey!
It's not my fault. I'm just asking for respect.
Why don't you take it out on that pervert? He's a stalker. Respect!
-Let's go! Hey, move! -Respect married women!
Ana.
You can take the day off to sort things out if you need to.
I'm so embarrassed.
With the students, Professor Adolfo.
Don't worry. He's fine.
The chemistry teacher helped him.
They went to the health center and put a stitch in his eyebrow.
That's all.
I think it would be best for me to resign.
No, no. Why?
What just happened is not enough, Dr. Alicia?
No, on the contrary.
I think it's very serious,
but you're not responsible for what your husband does.
-That's nonsense. -I totally agree.
So far, I have had no complaints about your work.
On the contrary.
Thanks to you, I have been able to… to manage my time and everything
like never before.
I am not willing to lose a hard worker
just because her husband acted out of his mind today.
I'm very grateful for your faith in me, Dr. Alicia.
-I prefer to avoid long-term problems. -Ana, just listen.
Listen, it's the best thing for you right now.
Ana, calm down. Gather your things.
Go home and fix what you have to fix.
I'll wait for you here. See you tomorrow.
We lost Eva,
and no matter how hard we looked, we couldn't find her.
So we decided to return in the hope of finding her on the road.
There was no doubt that the experiment had failed.
We had too much on our shoulders
to have ventured out to challenge our ghosts.
CHAPTER 3 THE TWO HUSBANDS
Eva!
"Do not expect love to bring you peace."
"Sex is the act of darkness
and infatuation, the gathering of torments."
"Never expect that you will achieve understanding with the opposite sex."
"There is nothing more dissimilar nor less given to reconciliation."
It had been an intense trip,
but it was time to return and face reality.
Oh, thank goodness I found you.
You left your bag in Alfredo's car, and I was worried because you left.
-Where did you go? -Thanks.
No, I don't even remember how I got here.
I knew I would find you here.
Today, I realized that… there are things that I thought I had overcome
that are still inside me.
And there's an explanation.
And
do you wanna tell me, or…
They have to do with…
with Alfredo.
Um…
Well…
Mm, that's fine.
I… I was pregnant with his child.
But I never told him…
because, when I found out,
we had already broken up,
and he was far away and with another girlfriend.
So, well,
it was obvious that I wasn't ready to be a mother.
Besides…
in spite of what I thought about the family,
and also because of my own history…
I don't know, I always imagined that when I had a child,
I was going to have it
with a mother… and a father present.
And I didn't wanna repeat my…
my story of abandonment
and loneliness.
That's why,
without telling anyone…
I decided… to go to an abortion clinic…
and… terminate the pregnancy.
Uh-huh.
That is something that, until today, only Luisa knew.
And now, well, you.
Thank you for telling me.
I thought I had already overcome that, but…
…in fact, I had not.
But do you feel guilty?
Of not telling Alfredo, yes.
I feel he… he deserved to know.
And do you think that would've changed your decision?
Well, if you want me to be completely honest with you,
I don't know.
So now,
what do you wanna do?
Find him and tell him.
I know it won't change anything, but…
…it's the right thing to do.
Wanna come?
Yes.
There had been such intimate moments, so sincere,
that despite having a thousand questions in my head, I kept silent.
I was finally learning to manage my timing,
and it was not the time to ask for more explanations or clarifications.
It was time to respect the gift of trust that the woman I loved had given me.
We became the victims of our own experimentation
by playing with our unpredictable and fickle nature as human beings.
I can say, by way of apology, that we were too young to know better,
but even so, we had to assume the consequences.
-Eva. Eva, wait. Uh… -Camilo, not now. Please.
What's up?
What do… do you think?
What do you think?
With Luisa, we, uh, at one point,
we were contemplating the idea of, um…
of terminating the pregnancy.
Why didn't you do it?
It was her choice.
I think in these situations,
women are the ones who should make the decision.
That's… what I think.
That's how it should be.
Do you like the idea of being a dad?
Yeah.
Yes, I think that
I like it more every day.
At least I didn't have to think about it.
I don't really see myself as a dad, now or ever.
Hmm.
Eva made it clear to me that I have no chance with her.
I guess because, by telling me the truth,
she released the guilt she had, which was her last bond with me.
And you? What's next?
I guess I'll keep suffering because, for a while now,
everything I do ends up pushing me further away from her,
and I honestly don't know how to change the situation.
But I don't wanna give up.
I get it.
Something similar was and is happening to me.
And you?
What's next?
The only solution I see is… to escape.
I'm going back to the US. I don't have your martyr's soul.
Not a martyr's soul.
What you have is more money
because, if I could, I would go far away, but, oh, well.
You couldn't.
You're going to be a dad.
Good point.
It was the last time I saw the Italian guy.
And after that night, I was left with the feeling
that if circumstances had been different,
we might even have been friends.
Camilo.
Hi, Mom.
Where were you all day?
With, uh…
I'm sorry I didn't tell you anything, Mom.
What happened is that I had to do something important,
and that's why I missed school, but I had already talked to my dad.
Have you talked with your friends?
No.
Why? What happened?
Your dad really socked it to the professor.
But seriously, I think he was asking for it.
Yeah, my mom told me.
Yeah, but I didn't know your mom was dating Professor Adolfo.
No, no, my mom's not dating anybody, dipshit.
No? What, then?
Nothing. He's been hitting on her,
and that's why my dad had to do what he did.
Had to do it?
Yeah, he had to stand up for himself, right?
EPILOGUE THE CAVEMAN
Stand up for what? How so?
Stand up for himself, Eva. Come on. My mom is his wife.
-Granados is right. -Of course.
Mr. Granados couldn't look like a fool. He had to respond like a man.
-Yeah, I know. -Yes, it's true.
Your dad had to clock him in the face so he wouldn't look like an idiot.
-Exactly. -Wait, wait, what's wrong with you?
Are you listening to yourselves?
Look, uh, Eva.
You may not understand this because now you are acting all--
-What? How? Because I'm a woman? -No!
-It's a matter of honor. You don't get it. -No, fuck that honor, Camilo!
What your father did was a barbaric act,
and it's incredible that you are justifying him.
And what was Mr. Granados supposed to do?
Just stand by and watch his wife get screwed?
No, no, wait. No one is screwing my mom, asshole!
I can't believe that.
After all we have learned in class, behavior and philosophy,
you still think that women are the property of men.
And men of women! They're married.
-That's how it's supposed to work. -I can't believe you.
That has nothing to do with it!
And because of those thoughts,
horrible things like what your dad did to Professor Adolfo keep happening!
-He was defending himself. -No!
The thing is, if Mr. Granados found out, it was because someone told him, no?
Yes.
Me! I told him.
Someone has to tell him, right?
Am I right?
-No, you're wrong, Granados. -Oh, come on.
What would you have done then, huh?
I don't know, but I wouldn't make a fucking mess.
Sure, because you don't care about your parents, but I care about mine.
More so now that… that I'm gonna be a father.
Well, it is very strange the way you worry about your parents.
Do you actually believe your dad will have any chance with your mom
after what happened?
But he took a stand!
No, that is a demonstration of anything but respect! Dumbass.
-"Anything but respect." -Really?
Eva is right, bro. Your dad really screwed up.
And by you justifying him, you're just making it worse.
Oh, don't be an ass, Arbeláez!
Yeah, bro. Just go. Bye!
-See ya. -Relax, bro. You're right.
-You and your dad did what had to be done. -Mm-hmm.
Don't worry. Don't worry.
It was the first time in my history with Eva
that we were at opposite ends.
All because of the sexist views that refused to die.
Mr. Granados.
So nice to see you here.
How are you, Romero?
Well, better than you, it seems.
Hmm.
I guess you already know I've been here since yesterday.
Yes, I read the report.
It's too bad I was not here to welcome you.
Hmm. Yes, I was desperate to see you.
Did they treat you well?
Yes, thank God. Yes.
That's great. Let me tell you.
For what you did, you are entitled to 48 hours of detention.
But you are a lucky man.
The victim dropped all the charges.
What do you want me to do? Go and thank the philosopher?
I don't know.
Do what your heart tells you.
They're waiting for you outside.
Well, well, well. Silence! Silence, or you'll scare him!
Thank you very much, Officer.
That was a nice one.
What are you doing here?
In order to be released before 48 hours, there must not be a report.
And I was the one who talked to Professor Adolfo
to get him to withdraw it.
Really? That was unnecessary.
If I ever see him again, I'll punch him in his big mouth.
That is the second reason why I'm here.
Since you are still behaving like a little child,
a responsible adult needed to come and get you.
And guess who that adult is?
And where's Ana?
To be honest with you,
I doubt very much that your wife is so eager to see you
after what happened.
Shall we?
Mom! Mom! Wait. Where are you going?
Your dad has already left the station. I'm gonna talk to him.
-Do you want me to go with you? -No! You won't miss any more school.
This is between me and your dad.
-Yes, but calm down, Mom. -Don't ask me to calm down!
It just makes me angrier!
I hope my rage lasts long enough to tell him off.
Well, then I'm gonna go with you.
Come on in.
Are you more relaxed now?
I was always relaxed.
Don't think that I smacked that pervert because I lost my mind.
It was a completely conscious act.
You are such a stubborn man.
Look, thanks for picking me up at the station,
but I guess you have things to do, so have a good day.
No, no, no, no, no. No, sir.
Don't think I went to the trouble of doing what I did just because I'm nice
or for old times' sake.
Which, by the way, were not such good times.
-Really? -No.
And the truth is
that I have a little matter we need to talk about.
-A matter between me and you? -Yes.
-Well, Rosario, listen-- -And it is a rather delicate matter.
Well, um,
I'm gonna tell it to you without sugarcoating it.
What is it?
Well, you and I have a daughter.
What? What do you mean you and I have a daughter?
Yes.
Her name is Janet, and she is a little older than Camilo.
You're so stubborn. You should have stayed in school.
No, I was not gonna be able to focus anyway
without knowing what was going on with you and my dad.
And, well, anyhow, I'm responsible for what happened.
No. Don't say that, son. Why would you be responsible?
Not at all.
The thing is that
I told my dad what's going on with… with the professor.
You did what?
-Well, like I just said, I told my dad. -Why would you do such a thing?
Because he called me on Friday, all desperate, and I told him.
I… I told him.
Wait a minute. You and I had agreed on something, right?
I know, but he also had a right to know what's happening, doesn't he?
And look what happened. I mean, look what he did.
Was it better to lie to him?
No, I'm not saying that.
You should have protected my privacy,
not gone out and completely exposed me the way you did though.
He was gonna end up finding out about it.
About what? What was he gonna find out?
Well, that you… that you are dating Professor Adolfo.
I'm not going out with Adolfo.
I thought you understood that at the bar.
And what if I was?
That doesn't give you the right to discuss my private life,
especially not with your father!
Well, you have to understand.
No, I do understand that I can't trust you, Camilo. How sad.
-You're just like your father. -Oh, come on!
Don't talk to me.
I don't wanna talk.
That afternoon, when I received the result of the pregnancy test,
I came straight to this house to find you,
but your mother told me that you were not here.
And in the street, they told me that you were at the party at…
at the social dance, so I went there.
And when I arrived and saw you happily dancing with Ana…
I was even reminiscing about that day with her recently.
Well, when I saw you like that,
I got all upset, and I grabbed Ana by the hair,
and everything ended up in a scandal.
I suppose you remember.
Mm-hmm.
And I guess you also remember what happened afterwards.
When Ana went home.
Hm.
José! José, come, come, come, please.
What you've done is unacceptable, Rosario!
How could you come here and attack Ana like that, huh?
Oh! Are you really gonna take her side?
Well, of course I am because we were just having some fun,
and you come here acting so scandalous!
-But I just needed to tell you something. -No, no, no, please. You and I are over.
Weren't you moving to Cali?
Yes, but I need to tell you something.
No, no. You listen to me. It's all over!
I don't like you! I don't love you anymore!
I'm in love with Ana.
I'm deeply in love with Ana, and I wanna be with her.
Stop embarrassing yourself.
Those words you said, well,
grounded me in my sad reality.
So, I decided to run away and have my daughter in Cali
and try to build a life there.
And I did.
I was even married for a while, but it didn't work out. That's it.
Hmm.
So, I ended up accepting and assuming my life as a single mother.
But fate is fate, José.
Hmm.
I came back to Bogotá and, by pure chance,
I ended up working in the same school where your son studies
and your wife works.
Hmm.
And so I thought that was a sign to tell you the truth.
Well, uh, Rosario, but…
-What… what do you want out of this? -Hey! Take it easy.
I won't ask for anything.
So far, I've been able to raise my daughter on my own,
and I will continue to do so.
I just felt I had to tell you, and that's it, okay?
Well, anyway, for… for me, it's--
Wait a second.
-We need to talk. -Hi, Dad.
-I can't believe you would just-- -Hey. Mom, wait, wait. Just--
Oh God. What are you doing here?
Rosario?
I never expected to find you here.
Well, I'm here.
Hmm.
If you don't mind, I really need to talk to José.
-No, uh… Yes. Yes, please. Now. -Yes, sure, no problem. I'm leaving now.
However, since all of us are here together right now…
-They have nothing to do with it. -Why not, José?
-Tell me what's going on. -Not a good idea.
-It's a good idea. -Go ahead.
-I don't think so, please. -My daughter's father is José.
That is not proven yet.
We can do the necessary tests whenever you want,
but I'm telling the truth.
No, but I--
-Come on in. -Oh, Mom.
Hey, Grandma.
Mom, how are you? Come in… come in.
Uh. Wait a minute, son.
-Mom, go… go ahead, just-- -Wait, José, please.
-Hello. -Hello.
Uh, actually, I am glad you are gathered here because
I wanna introduce you to Lucero.
-Hello. How are you? -Hello.
-Nice to meet you. -Come in.
She is… my partner.
Hello.
I had a sister I didn't know,
and my grandmother's boyfriend was actually a girlfriend?
