So my proposal…
Once the dust had settled and I'd smoothed things over with Eva,
she shared an idea with all of us
that she'd been cooking up in the land of Uncle Sam.
She wanted us all to get together and collaborate on a single project.
A movie.
Specifically, an adaptation of Andrés Caicedo's story
The Rebellious One.
-And Martín has to be the protagonist. -What?
-He's perfect. -Why?
He's rebellious.
It would be the first feature film by 364 Productions.
…I'll help you guys when I can.
-Are we gonna do this or what? -Let's make a damn movie!
-Of course! -We're about to win an Oscar!
Having to work on a project together was good for all of us.
Especially Salcedo.
With Eva's help, he was starting to snap out of it
and work towards a solution with Mónica.
I guess it's how both of us were brought up.
Since we were little, we dreamed of growing up to be parents.
It sounds to me like that's your dream. It's not Mónica's.
But how come, Eva? Isn't the point of getting married to have a family?
Well, no, you get married to…
to experience real partnership with someone you love.
It's not just about having a family.
Haven't you two discussed this?
Well… no.
I thought it'd be okay.
You still, um… love Mónica?
Of course I do. She's my soulmate, all right?
But, I mean, this is… it's a problem with no solution.
It's not a problem with no solution.
It's just a problem you can't fix by compromising like you normally would.
-It's still solvable. -So what's the alternative?
Making a pact. It's a little different.
Look, in a compromise, both parties have to give in a little.
But with a pact, only one party makes the sacrifice.
And then that person just accepts the decision
without building up resentment.
But why am I the one who has to give in?
Well, because the vast majority of women in history have been forced
to give up what they want.
But, more importantly, because this is a perfect opportunity
for you to show Mónica how much you love her.
The thing is, ironically, compromises lead to frustration,
but a pact will show her what she really means to you.
It'll strengthen your bond with her. And I know for a fact she'll be grateful.
Even now, when I come into a church, it brings me a sense of tranquility.
This is the place where we promised to stay with each other,
no matter what happens.
And I'll keep that vow forever.
Will you?
Always.
Even if we never have a family?
Our family is me and you.
With you by my side,
I don't need anyone else.
Meanwhile, old Mr. Granados was taking his role as a protective father
very seriously,
and he would soon bond with his daughter's boyfriend
through a mutual love of soccer.
All right, let's go, boss.
Finally.
-So I'm driving you home? -Do you mind if I ask you something first?
Depends.
Driving a taxi like this, do you make a good living?
I don't know. I'd say, um…
If you're smart and you take good care of your car,
you… can provide for your family, no question.
Anything else?
Yes, sir. You're a fan of the Cardinals, right?
-Till my last breath. Why? -So am I.
Really?
Well, sure. But it's been years since they were league champions.
Yeah, it sucks. I agree with you.
I think number ten needs to learn to pass to Gottardi.
The man knows his players.
Yeah. Very good. Uh-huh.
Ah…
Cardinals, hit the net, make the goal
They will always win
Cardinals, flying to the end
EVA LASTING
"THE REBELLIOUS ONE"
"EPISODE 12"
-You're home. -Hi, honey.
Tell me how it went.
Fine. Could hardly get those two out of the bumper cars.
Oh my God. You guys were at the park until just now?
No, no, no. I took Janet home around 4:00 or so.
Oh, so what were you doing all this time? You got here so late.
Well, actually, Ana, I spent quite a lot of time talking to…
to Oswald.
That kid, well, truth is, he's much more sensible than I thought.
-He's intelligent. -What'd you talk about?
Soccer.
Turns out, he's a Cardinals fan. What a guy.
-Mm. -Yep.
-Yeah, got it. I see how it is, José. -He knows his stuff. Right.
Well, I mean… No, I mean it. He's informed.
-I mean, I was surprised. It was nice. -Mm!
It's surprising, for sure,
'cause I never know if I should pity you guys or envy you guys.
-You know, as men. -Hmm?
Well, you can solve any problem
by talking about something as basic as soccer.
-It's incredible. -"Basic" isn't the word for it, because…
-I don't know. -Explain "offsides," for example.
You've explained it before. We've fought about this plenty.
-It's complex, not basic. -Could you do me a big favor?
-Coffee? -Mm-hmm.
Tomorrow, I'm presenting the project to the Ministry of Education.
I doubt I'll be able to sleep at all.
-Hmm? -Sure. I'll go make a pot right now.
Even though I don't agree with some of the weird ideas you're presenting,
I love you more than the school system of Colombia,
so allow me to make you a special all-night beverage.
-Sound good? Yeah? -Thanks.
Love you.
Mm-mm.
-I need coffee, okay? Mm. -Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
My dad still wasn't fully on board
with my mom's education proposal,
and probably because he didn't really understand it yet.
Okay, hang on.
I still don't get why schools in this country
shouldn't be able to teach young people to be patriotic,
to be proud of their home country.
Well, in some circumstances, that sentiment is dangerous.
If taken to the extreme, it can turn into fanaticism, José.
And that's just fuel for military conflict.
True nobility means fighting the motherland's battles.
No, no, no, no.
Countries and their borders are the most arbitrary thing in the world.
For example, why are people from Pasto Colombian?
They look more Ecuadorian than like us.
Well, because Pasto's in Colombia.
-But why? -Because it's not in Ecuador.
Because somebody drew a line and decided that this bit here is Colombia
and this bit here is Ecuador.
At first, it was all New Granada.
Both Colombians and Ecuadorians were from Granada, you know?
-Think about it. -I don't know.
Shouldn't people have strong feelings toward where they were born and raised?
No, José, no.
They should feel strongly about what they achieve in life
or who they really are.
Does it matter if you were born in this country or that one?
That part is completely accidental.
It's the truth, José.
Those limits, those borders, that kind of pride, it's…
All it's ever done, in the sweep of history,
is divide us, fragment us.
Think about the most destructive wars, like Vietnam, Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
the Nazis.
It's been a horror show.
What the world needs more of is harmony and unity,
more solidarity, more love.
It doesn't need more patriotism.
Is it bad to be a fan of a team too?
Should I be worried?
No, José.
-That's not bad. -All right.
Today's the day! Come in. Come in.
-How are you feeling, Ana? -Hey.
-Well, at the moment, I feel… -Yeah?
…amazing.
Very sharp and ready.
Wonderful. Well, we should probably go.
We barely have time to get all the way down to the Ministry.
I need a few minutes for a coffee. José won't let me go otherwise.
All right.
-Thanks for coming. See you. -Thanks.
Mm-hmm.
See ya.
What's up, boss?
How you doing?
THIS YEAR'S HITS
This is a good one. I like it. Got nice songs.
Yeah, that's perfect for when I'm dancing with Janet.
That one doesn't have a discount, but I will give you 5% off.
Ah, appreciate that.
Thanks, but no.
No, uh, don't think I'm buying today.
So you mentioned you had something you wanted to tell me.
Yeah, it's about Janet.
What about Janet?
Well, I want to marry your daughter, sir.
MINISTRY OF EDUCATION
Oh God.
This is driving me crazy. And we wonder why this country doesn't change.
Because they're so closed-minded.
I know. But if one door closes, we have to start knocking on other ones.
We can't sit around and wait for something to happen.
But what now, Ana?
I mean, I thought maybe we should go try a private school.
Could be worth a shot.
Well, without the approval of the Ministry of Education,
we're just gonna wind up in the same position.
We can't be pessimistic, Rosario, because we're not giving up, okay?
-We have to figure it out. -Step one is to calm down.
And step two is to solve this like the Vikings would.
And how would they solve it?
Well, when the Vikings were at war and had to plan out the next battle,
they would sit down with a barrel of mead, and once they were completely wasted,
they plotted a new strategy.
They'd review it the next morning when they were sober,
and if it was okay, they put it in motion.
If the plan was bad,
they'd get hammered again and repeat the process.
Are you serious?
-I'm serious. -Oh my God, Alicia.
Well, I gotta say, you are full of surprises.
I'm a big fan of that strategy. Sounds great.
I mean, same here. I'm in. Long live the Vikings.
Good. Say no more.
Oh, and I know the perfect place.
-Let's go. -Okay.
-Yes. Get in. I'll drive. -For real? Oh, all right!
-He wants to get married? -That's what he said.
Well, I think he's a little bit crazy and exaggerating.
He is exaggerating. He's more than crazy. He's completely nuts.
-But we have to give him an answer. -Dad, I don't think I want to get married.
'Cause the thing is, I'm still young, and there are things I wanna do first.
Well, that's fine.
Oh, that's him.
This is your opportunity to talk to him. Bring him down to earth.
No, but, Dad, you're the one who talked to him about marrying me.
You take it.
Hello?
Oh, hi, Rosario.
Yeah, yeah. We're here. Why?
Is that musi… Hang on. Is that music?
Thank you, Doctor.
I appreciate you proposing José María for the project,
and thanks for coming to the Ministry too.
On top of that, you taught us the Viking method,
which is your finest contribution so far.
It never fails, Ana.
-Let's hope it works tonight. I'm praying! -No, wait a minute.
If it fails, we repeat this tomorrow until it works.
-We do it again? -Yeah, again and again.
-Those Vikings had it figured out. -We'll keep at it till the end.
-That's pretty strong. -Excuse me.
May I have this dance?
-Yeah! Yes. -Come on.
Sure. Yeah. Why not?
-Let's go. -Great.
Very nice!
Oh! Hey! Man, she's trouble.
-Can't get her alone. -Amazing, right?
Your husband offered to come pick us up later…
-Oh no. -…so we can relax and not worry.
-My God. Who knew? -I can't believe the professor's drunk!
Do you know what the average student
at José María would give to see their principal dancing?
-They'd lose it. -They'd pay good money for it.
-Look at her. She's got moves. -I know, right?
Well, time for a toast.
For the Vikings!
-Salud! -Mm…
We have to dance. Come on! Come on!
So what did she say?
That she's not ready for it, Oswald.
-Oh no! That sucks! -Yep. Yeah, yeah.
She's a little young for it.
There are so many things she wants to do in life.
-Okay, son, see you. Chin up, okay? -Hey, listen. How about we go for a drink?
-Hmm? -I'm heartbroken here.
Gotta find some comfort, you know?
Uh… no, no, no. I think that's a bad idea.
I say it from experience, believe me. No.
Not to mention, if your father finds out, we'd be in big trouble.
-He doesn't have to find out, does he? -Enough, young man. No. Not happening.
Yeah, I made the commitment a while ago. I'm gonna make good money.
I just can't make the meeting tomorrow. Cool?
No, no, it's no problem. Don't worry.
Thank you, brother.
So then I'll leave the Palace of Justice and head over to the 364 by noon.
Sounds good. Okay, yeah. We'll be waiting for you.
All right. See you, Camilo.
-I'm home. -Hey, hey.
You have no idea how happy it makes me to be able to take Antonia to school.
Aw.
You have no idea how happy she is that you take her.
You know, maybe I'll reorganize my schedule so I can take her more often.
Sure. I'm off.
-Already? -Mm-hmm.
What if I go with you?
We better take advantage of my day off, spend some time together.
Are you sure? Thought you'd wanna stay and rest up.
I know you're tired. You've had a crazy week. Let's do this.
You stay and relax. I'll go do what I have to do.
I'll be back at noon. Maybe we can grab a bite--
We hardly spend any time together, Rodrigo.
Hmm.
Come along, then.
-Really? -Yeah.
-Hmm? -Have I told you…
…I'm deeply in love with you, Mr. Arbeláez?
Hmm.
No, I don't recall that, Miss Salcedo.
-No? -Mm-mm.
Well, it's true. I'm deeply in love with you.
And I'll love you till they put me in the ground.
Don't say that.
Love you so much.
I love you too.
"Scene four, exterior…"
"…park, day."
"Treading carefully, the rebellious one approaches Edgar Piedraíta,
who is passionately kissing Rebeca."
Are you… Edgar Piedraíta?
"The couple stops dead,
and they both look curiously at the rebellious one."
Well, that depends who's looking for him and why.
I'm from Pilar.
I came to join up with you guys.
And I was told I had to… talk to you about it.
"Piedraíta and Rebeca meet eyes."
Hmm? How 'bout it?
Seems pretty young.
Hey, guys.
I just heard on the radio that the M-19 took over the Palace of Justice.
Huh? Rodrigo's headed there.
Really?
The Palace of Justice was just a few blocks away from the 364,
so as soon as we heard about the armed takeover,
we all rushed over there, hoping to find Arbeláez.
Hey, guys, it's Quiñonez! Quiñonez! Come on!
Quiñonez! Hey, brother!
Arbeláez is inside! He's in the cafeteria of the Palace!
-Help us out here! Let us through! -Hey! Hold on! Listen to me!
-Nobody's allowed inside! -We need to--
Come on, guys! It's getting pretty ugly here, brother!
We don't know what's gonna happen!
-Go home and find a safe place to hide! -Hey, you don't understand.
Listen to me!
I'll let you know if anybody sees him. I'll call you, I promise.
Look, you guys can't be here. Everybody, move out!
Let's go! Come on! Come on! Let's get outta here!
-Quiñonez! -What do we do now?
No! We gotta listen to Quiñonez. Let's just go home.
We're better off watching the news. If we stay, we won't get information.
-What's going on? -Find Luisa?
No, they're not at the apartment, and the hospital said she had the day off.
I told you to get out of here! Go! Go! Right now!
-Luisa! Luisa! -Camilo, let's get out of here!
-Camilo, let's go! -We can't leave!
-Let's go! -Camilo!
-Guys, hurry! -Luisa! Luisa!
Let's go!
Granados, let's go! Come on!
Come on! Let's go!
Sources on the ground tell us
there are still lots of people hiding in their offices.
At this point, it is estimated
that no less than ten magistrates are being held hostage…
It was unbelievable,
but we had crossed paths with the M-19 yet again.
The coincidence was as absurd as it was tragic.
…broke into the Palace.
You talk to your parents?
Yeah. They said they'd get Toña and take her to their place.
And Martín?
He's been glued to the phone, calling everybody he can.
He refuses to believe that Luisa's inside.
Mm.
And what do you think?
Oh, well, I…
Unfortunately, I think it's pretty likely.
Luisa had the day off,
so she probably went with Arbeláez to the event he had at the Palace.
It'll be fine. We have to be strong and have faith, okay?
You're right.
Thank you.
Okay, sweetheart, I made the chickpeas just the way you like them.
-Aw, thanks, Grandma. -Mm!
Come here, angel. Clean plate, okay? Be a good girl.
José, dinner's ready.
Thank you, Ana.
Are you watching soccer?
Not because I want to, but it's all they're broadcasting.
Really?
You gotta be kidding. This is just shameless.
We're supposed to ignore what's happening?
Right. It's not even a full game. They just put on some highlights.
José, don't you see what they're doing?
They're distracting us from what's happening at the Palace of Justice.
So you think they're playing some old matches on purpose?
Shameless.
Let's go sit with Toñita. I don't want her asking about her mother.
Wait, though, Ana. If she ends up asking, we have to tell her something, because…
No. Let's hope this works out for the best.
But if it turns out bad, we have to be ready.
The next day, they announced that the hostages
who had survived the attack would be released from the Palace.
Without a moment's hesitation, we went straight to the military garrison,
where the authorities were holding the hostages
before letting them go back to their families.
The place was in total chaos.
Right here! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Luisa Salcedo's her name, okay?
Try being a human, man!
Hey, look! They're coming out!
Come on! Let's go, everyone! Get moving!
Where are you? I don't see them. Where are you?
-There's Arbeláez! -Rodrigo!
-There he is! -Hey!
-Rodrigo! -Rodrigo, over here!
-Rodrigo! -Rodrigo!
Come on! We're over here! Come here!
Let him through! Let him through!
-Excuse me. Move over. -Oh my God, man. How are you?
-So good to see you guys. -Okay?
-You okay? -Yeah.
-Did they hurt you? -I'm good. A little bit dazed, but okay.
And Luisa? Huh?
I don't know. Uh… Uh… I haven't seen her since we left the Palace.
You were with her, right?
We got separated into different vehicles, though.
But didn't you see her inside?
No.
I asked. I was hoping, when I came out, I would see her right away.
-Let's wait. It's okay. -No, no.
-I'm sure she's still inside. -No. I'm sorry, brother.
-Hey, hey. -I didn't know what to do.
I should have fought harder to stay with her.
Okay, calm down.
-Are there more? -Hey, listen!
Come on! My sister is inside right now! Please look for Luisa Salcedo!
Hey, get in there and do your fucking jobs, okay?
-She must be coming. Just a minute. -What happened to Luisa?
-Easy. That's enough. -Leave him alone.
Yeah, she'll come out. Trust me, she'll come out eventually.
It'll be okay.
-I don't see any more. -They're bringing them out in groups.
-I don't know. -That's right.
Come on! There's nobody coming out! Where is everyone?
Let's head back.
So you can eat something and sleep a little.
We'll keep looking later.
Hey, come on. Let's go.
We'll keep looking for her in the morning?
Of course.
There was no room for negotiation or dialogue,
so the situation ended in violence.
In the aftermath, there was lots of speculation about what happened.
Some people said the M-19 had organized the attack
after securing financing from Pablo Escobar,
who wanted to strike a killing blow to the country's justice system.
Others said that during the attack,
a coup had taken place and the military had overthrown the government.
So much was said about the events at the Palace of Justice,
but, to this day,
it remains one of the saddest and most baffling moments
in our history as a nation.
Later that night, the fire erased any remaining evidence,
and a new chapter began,
one that would involve a great deal of confusion and grief.
And that was when we started to learn the fate of the hostages
who went missing during the battle to retake the Palace.
-You have to give us something. -Yeah.
You keep telling us they disappeared. That's all.
I know. I'm sorry.
But we can't… offer you any information about that at the moment.
-What's the matter with you? -That doesn't help.
I told you, I was with Luisa when we left the Palace.
Sir, I saw a photo from when you were retaking the building,
and there were a bunch of people on the first floor.
I swear I saw my daughter, and now nobody knows?
Come on. This makes no sense.
When… when the lady in the cafeteria got out,
she said she was right by my husband.
Somehow, they must have been separated. So where is he? Why isn't anyone helping?
-They know. They-- -Please, tell me where my daughter is.
Tell me right now. Where is she? I'm begging you.
Talk to your superior!
At least say something and do your damn job!
-We've been here forever! -Give us something!
PANIC IN BOGOTÁ
Look, guys, I understand, but the media is in the same position.
No one's talking to us, and no one knows anything for sure.
Yes, but it's a fact that there are missing hostages,
and Luisa is one of them.
Yeah, although we have the testimony from guards inside the Palace
who said the M-19 had been posing as civilians,
so it was complicated to figure out who was actually a guerrilla
and who was a hostage.
Ah, so they didn't know who to shoot at, then?
I mean, it's speculation, but it explains the missing hostages.
But really, who knows?
It's speculation. We may never find out the truth.
Still, your job is to tell the country what's happening, right?
We're putting together some material, and I think it would be helpful
if you talked to your friend who was inside the Palace.
Sure. Yeah, yeah. I'll speak to him right away.
Well, guys, I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful with this, but…
…I'm afraid, at this point, we don't know more than you do.
No worries, sir. Thank you so much for having us.
Oh, Camilo, this place is still your home.
-Thank you. -Thank you, sir.
I know it would be tough,
but have you tried the Forensic Medicine Institute?
We were told they have some of the bodies that haven't been identified yet.
Name, sir?
Ma… Martín Salcedo.
Go ahead, sir.
We decided to take Mr. Manosalva's advice.
We went with Salcedo, Arbeláez, and Mrs. Adela
to the Forensic Medicine Institute.
Those were the longest minutes of my entire life.
She's not here.
Knowing Luisa wasn't among the unidentified dead
at the coroner's office was a huge relief.
And, for the moment, our hopes were rekindled.
But the question remained,
where was she?
Paradoxically, a week later, another major tragedy shook the country.
Reports of a massive mudslide dominated every news channel in the country.
The disaster devastated the town of Armero
and left over 30,000 people dead in its wake.
I don't get it. I won't see Mom again?
Well, uh… you'll see her again eventually, baby.
But we just don't know when.
Why not?
Well, baby, you know how much Mama has always loved helping others?
That's what she's gonna be up to for a while, all right?
Where is she?
On a trip, honey.
-She's going to tell you all about it-- -No. No.
-Huh? -No.
She's not on a trip, all right?
She's not on a trip. That's the truth.
Listen, baby, your mother…
Well, she's missing.
We've been looking everywhere for her.
But, sweetheart, the truth is that your mom is…
she's missing.
Who is she with?
It's kinda hard to explain right now, baby.
Yes, but what we know is that
wherever she is, wherever she went,
your mom is… is counting down the days and the hours
until she gets to hug you
and… and… and spend time with you and kiss you goodnight.
And until that happens, you're gonna stay over here,
with your Papa Camilo.
Does that mean you're also going away?
Of course not, honey. I'm always gonna be your other papa.
The only difference is you'll sleep here.
That's fine.
You know, I'm really glad to have you here.
We don't know where they are now,
if they're together… or alone.
But, either way, we must offer up our prayers.
I asked you all to come here so…
DREAM
Luisa!
And to make her burp, you just have to…
Hi!
Promise me one thing. You're never allowed to die.
-You have to live forever. -No.
We are both living forever.
For obvious reasons, we decided to postpone our film project.
Scott felt overwhelmed by what he had witnessed
in such a short period of time, so he went back to the United States.
-Promise me I will see you soon. -I promise.
-Be careful. -I will.
In the interest of aviation security,
please do not leave your bag unattended.
As difficult as it was,
Eva decided to stay in Colombia a while longer.
We all felt that we had to stick together more than ever.
We needed to rely on each other as a group, as a tribe, and as a family.
Please report unattended baggage…
-Come on. -Okay. All right.
We could feel Luisa's shadow hanging over us
as we slowly tried to resume our old lives.
We knew we were just one of many families scarred by the violence
of the attack on the Palace of Justice.
But as a tribute to the old days, we went back to the movies as a group.
That was the year the film The Official Story was released.
It was about the people who went missing
during the Argentine military dictatorship,
and it won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film the following year.
But what are you… saying, exactly? You're leaving the apartment?
I wasn't planning on helping you raise a little girl.
Mm.
Look, Camilo, this is an opportunity
for you and Toña to strengthen your relationship.
And I've really tried to imagine how I would fit into this whole situation.
I can't be in that equation.
You know I've always loved Toña.
I mean, she's incredible. But this moment is for you two.
Also, I…
I've thought a lot about this but I wasn't sure if I should tell you.
I don't think you really love me, Camilo.
Love comes in plenty of forms.
Well, that's a nice way to put it.
You think you could ever love me even half as much
as what you feel for Eva?
It's just…
Look,
the whole time that Eva's been here,
I've watched you.
It's obvious that you're still in love with her, Camilo.
I know you are.
And I've tried to play dumb plenty of times.
I tried ignoring it.
I guess I hoped, I don't know, when Eva went home to the US,
we would… we would go back to normal and everything would work out.
But the truth is, that wouldn't have been enough for me anyway.
Being your second choice is not what I need, Camilo.
And, look, I don't say any of this to, uh…
to make you feel worse or dredge up old stuff,
because I'm actually still super grateful for our relationship.
I think you're a hell of a guy. I mean, you're so intelligent.
You're an extremely hard worker. You have an incredible sense of humor.
But, at some point, I have to stop lying to myself.
And I don't want this relationship to be some kind of consolation prize,
because that's just going to end up in frustration and resentment.
That's why I'm moving out.
We still have time to preserve the story of our relationship as…
a beautiful memory.
"We're pleased to announce your program's implementation
has been approved as a pilot through the Office of Humanistic Innovation."
"The course will start in select schools in Colombia."
Oh my God.
Finally, thanks to their rigorous application
of the Viking method,
the José María Root School was authorized to implement
the experimental educational program they had been working on for months.
My old man was just as religious and conservative as he had always been,
but he was wonderful as a father figure.
His love for his daughter and granddaughter was deep and infectious.
Whoo!
In honor of Luisa, we resumed our movie project.
Arbeláez was learning to hold in his grief
while moving forward with his music and his catering business.
Pretty soon, things really started to take off for him.
Hey, thanks.
Pabón was still very active in the theater scene,
but, little by little, he was also becoming a TV star.
-How are you? -You look good.
His relationship with Hugo was getting stronger by the day,
and they became one of the most stable artistic couples we knew.
Janet was quickly rising through the ranks as a makeup artist,
and, whenever the storylines and circumstances aligned,
she made appearances in theater and TV.
After their conversation about family, Salcedo and Mónica were doing great.
Martín's body shop was flourishing,
and all the paternal love he had was redirected towards Toña.
He was turning into a super uncle.
-Anyone seen the clapperboard? -Here.
-There it is. Thanks a lot. -Sorry.
We good? Okay, got the chalk.
What's up, bro? You're holding up the show.
-What happened? -Guess what, man.
-I'm a professional referee! -You passed!
Oh my God. I can't believe it.
-Tell me about it. -Guys, we're about to roll.
With Marcela as director, the movie made a splash at the box office
and was well received by critics.
It put her on the map of female film directors
who were breaking new ground.
-Marks. Let's roll. -We're starting in a wide, right?
-Roll sound. -Ready? Quiet on set.
-Cue card in. -Lock it down. Thank you.
-Sound speed. -Quiet, please.
Camera speed.
The Rebellious One, scene four, take one, shot one.
"The prince bent low over Sleeping Beauty
and, with great care, planted a kiss on her lips."
"Suddenly, she stirred and opened her eyes and awoke from her long sleep."
"The prince wanted to get married to her immediately…"
But the lovely princess made it clear
that after being asleep for a hundred years,
marrying a prince wasn't high on her list of priorities.
Quite the contrary. She wanted to travel.
She wanted to study, to get work, and…
and learn all about what happened during that period she was asleep.
That's not the real story.
I know.
But I never understood why everyone in these books
seem so desperate to get married.
I remember, when I was little…
-Mm-hmm? -…you read me lots of stories.
Well, you're still little. It's amazing you remember all that.
I wanna tell you a secret.
Okay. I promise I won't tell anyone.
I'm worried about both of my papas.
They seem so sad, and I don't know how to make them feel better.
You're so much like your mom, always worrying about other people.
Listen.
Your dads are lucky. They have you close to them.
It won't be long before they stop feeling sad
and they'll be just fine.
But for that to work, you need to always remind your dads
how much you love them.
Say it as often as you can. Don't forget. Hmm?
So are you staying with us?
No, Toñita.
No, I have a… a whole life and lots of people I care about in the US.
Now that my mom is gone and you're leaving,
I'm gonna have to live with a bunch of boys.
Sure, but that's not a bad thing.
I mean, you know when I first met your parents and your uncles,
I was the only woman in the entire school.
As a matter of fact, I was pretty much the first girl they ever knew.
They taught me so much.
But I also taught them a ton of useful things only us women know. Hmm?
It was so much fun to be the first woman. Every moment was full of surprises.
It made me feel like a princess.
But not like the princess in that book.
I was more like a princess with a real life.
Hmm?
And now that I'm leaving,
you're going to need to find a way to replace me.
You understand?
Yeah, I do.
But I'm still sad that you're leaving. My mom said you're my godmother.
She said if she couldn't be with me for some reason, you would.
Oh, Toñita. Come here.
How'd it go? She fall asleep?
-Yeah. -Great. Thank you.
I appreciate the help. I've been running late on…
-Camilo. -…deadlines with shooting and…
You need to take care of that kid. Like really take care of her, all right?
Yeah, I will. Of course.
-Okay. -So do you wanna stay for a drink or…
-No. We'll talk tomorrow, okay? -Mm-hmm.
I'll think of you every time I pick up a book.
Dummy.
Stay in touch, okay?
You too.
Once we finished shooting,
it was time for Eva to go back to the United States.
We all went to the airport to say goodbye,
and her departure hit us all like a second loss.
It was more difficult than I'd expected.
I love you, honey.
-Hey, brother. You done? -Yeah, I'm all set.
You've got meals for today. I also made lunch and dinner for tomorrow.
It's in the fridge.
Oh, cool. Perfect. Thanks a lot.
-What do I owe you for all this? -Don't worry.
I'll just add it to your tab, brother.
I think you should live here with us.
I mean, there's another room, and you could stop paying rent over there.
No, Camilo.
The tribe's all split up now.
Better for each bird to have its own nest.
And honestly, I'll probably be in that apartment forever.
Moving would feel like giving up on Luisa,
accepting that she's not coming back.
But I haven't lost all hope yet.
Her clothes still smell like her.
Sometimes I even cook for both of us
with the hope that… she'll come home all tired from work,
just wanting to be pampered.
Wanting to tell me about her day and wanting to ask about mine.
Wanting me to sing to her.
That illusion, that hope, that's…
…that's keeping me alive, brother.
And I'm not giving up.
Do you like the food Rodrigo makes for us?
Yeah. Yeah, of course I do.
He's the best cook in the world.
-He told me he'd teach me, if I wanted. -Oh, really?
Well, that's good. I'll have to be your sous-chef.
Are you sad?
Mm…
A little bit.
But why? Because Eva left today?
Uh, well, it's really sad to say goodbye to people you love, yes.
You mean my mom too?
Yeah, baby. I mean your mom too.
All right. It's time for bed.
Otherwise, you won't be able to get up for school. Here, sweetie.
-Time to get under the covers. -Daddy, don't be sad, okay?
Because I love you so much.
Mm!
Mm. I love you so much. And besides, together we are…
-Invincible. -…invincible. Yeah!
Tickle monster!
All right. Time to get all cozy.
-Is Mr. Hugo getting under the covers too? -Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. Gotta tuck it tight, like a burrito.
-Night, baby. -Night night.
I love you.
-Night. -Goodnight.
I knew I wasn't going to be able to sleep at all,
so I got ready to burn the midnight oil,
because, despite everything that had happened, the world kept turning.
And I was so behind on script deadlines for the soap opera
that I was single-handedly bringing production to a halt.
Camilo, I wanna be with you for the rest of my life,
if you'll have me.
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon
Is the only light we'll see
Have a good day, my love. Have fun at school, okay?
-Be good, all right? -I have to go and talk to Dr. Alicia.
-I'll come with. -Bye, Mom. See ya, Pop.
-Bye. -See you, guys.
Okay, baby, you behave yourself.
And really try to pay attention. Here. Let me help you.
-Is it too heavy? -No, it's fine.
-Here. The book I was telling you about. -Toñita!
-Oh, hey. Look who's here. -Oh, there's my baby.
How you doing?
-What's that? -Your favorite.
-Thanks, Dad. -Nice.
-Check this out. Here. -Nice. Thanks, brother.
And now for the best one, sister. For inspiration.
Bye, sweetheart. Have a great time, okay?
-Still the same, huh? -Bye, baby.
-You behave, okay? -Bye, uncles! Bye, Eva! See you!
Don't let anyone bully you!
"CONVICTIONS ARE PRISONS" FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
We're back, aren't we?
Darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, now… stand by me…
-It's amazing, huh? -Amazing.
In moments like those,
we were at the peak of our contentment in our little universes.
In those days, the world was still small.
It wasn't the interconnected global village that it is today.
It was simpler then,
because we only had relationships with the people who sustained our lives.
Our circles were tight-knit, and we loved it.
Because, back then, we didn't need much to be happy.
All we needed was our open hearts,
always young, always loving and adventurous.
All we needed was to keep our collective sense of wonder alive,
our awe at the magic of this strange and wonderful experiment we call life.
Darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, now
Stand by me
Our friendship will last forever!
Forever! dship will last forever!
