[classical music playing]
Can we go? We've been here an hour already.
I wanna see what she looks like.
We have to stay. She's fucking the father of her child.
This is very serious.
Okay, but how will we know it's her?
Intuition, duh! Forties, smokin' hot.
Last night, I fucked Pedro.
[Luz] Are you back together?
-No, no, no, no, no, no. -[Luz] What do you mean, "No, no, no, no"?
-What's the deal? Hey, tell us more. -Luis!
-Luis! Luis! -[Daniela] What are you doing?
-[horn honks] -Fuck off! Luis!
[Luis splutters] Honey.
-Where are you going? -I mean, uh, well, uh…
-Yeah? -Uh… uh… uh…
-[Raúl laughs] -[Pedro] Check out Evel Knievel.
-[Raúl] What is he doing? -[Pedro] Trying to lean into the turn.
-[phone chimes] -[laughing]
-Wow, the overqualified one. -Shh. Hey!
You inseminate her yet?
No. No, no, because as co-parent, she won't do it.
Yeah. Mm. [clicks tongue]
We hooked up.
I was searching for copper, and I struck gold.
She's a good lay, right?
So, now that you have an analog girlfriend,
you don't wanna adopt?
-I do, but with someone else. -Oh.
And so does Eva.
They're already screening candidates.
-And they'll charge you again? -[Santi] Mm-hmm.
That's a classic pyramid scheme, man.
Wait a sec. Your plan is to date one chick and have a child with another,
while you're in a relationship with a virtual girlfriend
and living with your ex.
-No… -What could go wrong, huh? [laughing]
No, no, no, no. I'll break up with Lola.
It's just a little complicated to cancel the subscription.
-Yeah, tell me about it. -Don't touch the keys. Honey, stop it.
-[Esther exhales] -Hey, sorry, guys.
Esther was asking what the hell was going on here,
and I told her…
Well, Raúl can explain it a lot better.
-Since it was his idea. -[Esther] Hmm?
Well, welcome to our Batcave.
A safe space where we can be sexist in peace.
The concept has evolved a bit because this guy started bringing girls.
-One girl and only once. -[Esther] Let me get this straight.
You rented a fuck pad for the four of you, and my husband's the cleaning lady?
He pays less rent.
[Raúl] Marimar.
Where are you? I think we need to talk.
It's just, I'm in the middle of changing the tires.
[Esther mutters]
ALPHA MALES
The Church allows for annulment in case of lack of prior discernment,
immaturity of the spouse,
or if one of the two is not willing to have children.
Bingo, all of the above.
I can vouch for his immaturity.
I even had a vasectomy as soon as I got married.
Uh, perfect. I'm appalled.
-It works in our favor. -[gasps]
So how long does it take to get an annulment from the Catholic Church?
-About two years. -Two years?
[Luz] Kicking her out is like evicting a squatter.
Only problem is you're married to the one squatting at your place.
-[clicks tongue] -[cell phone rings]
Hi, Marimar. I can't talk right now. I'm in a meeting.
I'm only asking for one last chance.
If you ever loved me, just come with me somewhere.
I'm not going anywhere, Marimar. I just asked that you leave the house.
If you come with me and still wanna get a divorce after that,
I promise I'll leave.
Marriage is a response
to the sacred call to live in spousal love as a reflection
of the love between Christ and Church.
It is a lifelong vocation, like priesthood.
That's why these retreats are so important.
You are the resistance.
[exhales]
Hey, Luz. What's up?
[gasps]
[Luz] Why is she always here?
Ari? Oh, you know, she likes it here, and the house is huge.
-"Ari?" Are you fucking with me? -Hmm?
Babe… [exhales] Stop fucking around. What do you want?
That you don't bring your whores in our house.
I thought the thrill was the whole point of an open relationship.
Paz, uh, could you stop playing dumb and talk about what's going on with us?
-And what's going on? -I'm not sure.
-Oh, that helps. -[exhales] This is such bullshit.
Hey, maybe you could use a little trip.
-Hmm? I don't know. Get some fresh air. -[exhales]
-Where are we going now? -No, no. On your own. Hmm?
[inhales] You could, um, go on a cruise.
Thailand, an island in the Caribbean.
My treat.
If you wanna get rid of me, there are more classy ways.
More classy than offering a trip to the Caribbean? Hmm? No.
She wants to get rid of me so she can fuck around in the house.
Well, it is her house.
Says I can take whoever I want. Ha-ha! She'll regret that.
I'll go in a heartbeat. It might give me inspiration for my short.
Haven't even started.
[exhales] My marriage is falling apart.
Like everyone's.
Punta Cana? Daniela, we have a baby.
And Patri too. We can all go.
The hotel has a kids club.
We can drop the kid off at 8:00 a.m., and you get him back fed at 11 at night.
Do we have to take a plane?
Patri, you're much more likely to die in a domestic accident
in this house than in a plane crash.
Don't tell her that.
You two go. I think a vacation
in the Caribbean will be very good for you.
[chuckles uncomfortably]
[inhales sharply] I think I'd really miss Gael.
-Me too. What are you saying? -Nothing.
Would you rather stay here? You have…
[clears throat] …other plans?
No, no, but do you want me to go?
I mean, I'd feel less like a bad mother if we both went.
Right, but would we be in separate rooms then? Together?
I don't know. Luz's wife is treating. I'll ask her.
[chuckles] It's just that you've got me on pins and needles lately.
[Daniela humming]
[Santi] Seven swimming pools, eight restaurants, six bars.
-Santi. -And a 10,000-square-foot spa.
A Jacuzzi on the balcony, overlooking the beach.
I have to work.
And it's free.
A friend of mine is inviting us.
I mean, she's the wife of a friend, who's a lesbian.
She's a multimillionaire and very generous.
-She doesn't wanna go. Don't be an idiot. -Shh!
You go. You go and enjoy.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I know, but I would love to share it with you,
and I don't know, watch the sunrise from the balcony.
You're a pathetic loser.
-Will you be quiet? -I gotta go. I have to pay.
-Bye, now. -Okay, honey, kisses.
All right, you made me feel bad. I'll go to Punta Cana.
[laughs] Blanca, I want you gone. Not deeper into my life.
Esther, you know I need more notice to ask for paid time off.
Well, you can stay, but I need a vacation.
What the hell! I wanna go to the Caribbean.
Whatever you do, stop bitching. It's really annoying.
Would we take the kids?
Luis, I said vacation.
[Luis] Okay. They're not old enough anyway.
It's an opportunity to test their maturity to leave them on their own.
Um… it's a bit too soon.
Esther, don't be a helicopter parent, hmm? We have to trust them.
I'm skeptical. Mother's intuition. [chuckles]
[priest] The harder it is for you to love your spouse,
the freer your love for them is.
Because by not feeling it, you're choosing it.
-You're so right. -[cell phone ringing]
-Sorry, sorry, go on. -Raúl!
[Raúl] Shh!
-[man] Father, forgive me. I didn't quite… -What's up, Pedrito?
[Pedro] You're coming to Punta Cana, right?
-What's in Punta Cana? -Luz invited us. We're all going.
Luz?
She must have had a fight with her wife,
who decided to send her on vacation with her friends.
[exhales]
Does anyone else want to open up and share their weaknesses?
Come on.
Go ahead.
[Raúl] Hmm.
[exhales]
My name is Raúl, and the truth is… [inhales sharply]
…I'm a shitty husband.
I've tried to heal myself for this great woman.
God knows I've tried, but I still watch porn.
More than ever.
And I have a sexual assault complaint from an employee I gave a little peck to,
and I had a vasectomy because I don't want kids.
Not my own or disabled ones.
And I gave a hand job to Rafa, my buddy who blew me on my wedding night.
Congratulations, Raúl. Your testimony was so sincere.
-[Raúl] Hmm. -You finally opened up, my love.
It's the grace of God.
-You're never getting rid of me. -Mm.
[both laugh]
I think it's so amazing that these things take off and can stay in the air.
-It's called physics, darling. -Mansplaining.
What? No.
Luz, we're flying business? You've outdone yourself.
[Luz] Well, if we travel, we travel in style.
[Pedro] Hey, how many have you had?
It's a nine-hour flight. I need a sleep aid.
What's cooking, guys?
-[laughs] -[Luis] Hey!
-Hey. -Why's he here? Weren't they divorcing?
-Why are you with Marimar? -Why are you with Blanca?
-Huh? -[Luis laughs]
Oh shit. What are you doing here?
Luz invited me.
Don't worry. You have separate suites.
-What have I ever done to you? -She called me, dude.
Oh fuck.
Besides, you didn't wanna kick her out.
Well, take this opportunity to reach an amicable solution.
There's an open bar.
Seven days in the Caribbean with Blanca?
Damn, I'd rather get kidnapped by Somali pirates. Hi.
[Esther] Can I have another gin and tonic, please?
-[Luis] Esther! -[Esther] It's free.
[exhales]
-Wow, it's hot, isn't it? -[Esther] Thank you. Oh, champagne!
-[Luis] Where you going? -[Esther laughs]
-[hostess] Welcome to Costa Bávaro. -Hi, thank you.
Honey, that's enough. Come on!
-Check-in's already done. -Yoo-hoo!
Drinks are part of the package. It's an all-inclusive.
You and Paz can fight whenever you want, okay?
As long as we get an open bar.
That woman is staring at me. I think she recognized me.
No, no, they're all tourists.
Pedro, if someone posts a photo of me on vacation without our son, I'm done.
Relax, girl, you're not that famous.
Okay, so, what is there to do here?
[shouting]
[screaming]
[grunting]
[screams]
[laughs]
[screaming]
[Daniela] You got it?
Nice!
[Santi] Got it!
-[Daniela] Raúl! -[grunting]
[cheering]
-[glasses clink] -[shouting]
Mmm!
[slurps]
So good. Another round. Hey!
Three shots, please.
What are you then? Fuck buddies?
No, fuck parents.
I don't know what we are anymore. Maybe I'll find out on this trip.
Yeah, man, you might be in a situationship. [snickers]
[Luis] Raúl, I thought you were getting a divorce.
[Raúl] I've found unconditional love.
For the first time in my life, I'm honest with my partner,
and Marimar has forgiven me for everything. Everything. It's crazy.
Even giving Rafa a hand job.
You gave Rafa a hand job?
[Raúl] God exists and loves us, man. All of us.
[Pedro] When did you give Rafa a hand job?
[Raúl] I mean, just three little strokes. We're business partners now.
[cell phone ringing]
Hello, honey-- uh, Eva, hi.
[Eva] Santi, I'm late.
-Oh shit. -It's a fucking disaster.
Damn it, I don't get it. We…
We used protection, right?
No, you just pulled out, Santi!
Did you pull out in time?
-I can't be sure. You got me drunk and-- -Oh my God, I'm gonna kill you.
Did you take a test?
No, I don't trust them. Too many false negatives.
I'm gonna get a blood test at the clinic.
Well, look, the whole co-parenting thing, it's what we wanted. To be parents.
No, I wanted to have a child with a guy who wasn't my partner.
Wait, so I'm your partner? [chuckles]
I gotta go. Just got to the clinic.
Okay, Eva, hey, whatever happens. I'm here for you. Hmm?
Are you gonna be a father?
[Marimar] It took a lot of work, to be honest, but we're finally happy.
In the darkest hours is when God's light shines brightest.
[Marimar grunts] Mm!
And the urologist told us that vasectomies are reversible.
All wonderful news.
Have you told her you have a fuck pad with your buddies?
-Seriously? -See?
-I knew I forgot something. -[Blanca] You have a fuck pad?
-Yeah, we do. -[laughs]
[Daniela] That woman's taking a picture of me.
Daniela, she's just taking a selfie.
No, that's what she wants us to believe.
[Luz] Guys, I wanna thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
You're helping me really fuck over my wife.
I love you all so much.
[Luis] Well, that's what friends are for, right?
[Esther] Next time, we're going to Hawaii!
Let's go to the club, huh? And meet hot tourists.
I'm going to bed. I'm exhausted.
-[Esther] There's still champagne left. -I'm not feeling it. I'm going to bed too.
-[groans] -Age is a bitch, right?
Stop drinking already. We're leaving. It's over.
-I'm taking the bottle. For later. -[Luis] No, you're not taking it.
Come on. Give me that bottle.
-Patri. How's Gael? -[chuckles]
[Patricia] He caught a virus. He has a little fever.
-How much of a fever? -101.
Patri, why didn't you call us?
I didn't want you to worry and spoil your romantic trip. It's okay.
-I'll call the pediatrician. -I'm sending an Uber, take him to the ER.
It's fine. It's completely normal.
It may be considered normal in your country, but not for us.
-Pedro. -Just compare the infant mortality rates.
How could you be talking about infant mortality?
-I'll take care of it. You enjoy. -Fuck!
-We shouldn't have come! -You're the one who suggested it.
Why did you listen to me? Let's go to the airport!
Daniela, we're here now, okay? Call the pediatrician.
-Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. -Just--
-What? -I'm very worried about my son.
Yeah?
I'm not such a bad mother.
Will you call the pediatrician?
-Yeah. -[beeps]
Ninety-nine. It's gone down.
It's okay. Elena says it's quite normal for them to get sick
when their mother leaves.
Poor baby. I left him alone.
Relax, we've been doing a great job.
[clears throat, mutters]
[sighs]
-Oh, Pedro, it's too hot. -Sorry.
-I thought maybe… -[both clear throat]
[sighs] I don't know.
I'm sorry, okay? It's just you get used to sleeping alone and…
Right, okay.
[clicks lamp]
[exhales]
So you're not coming to Santo Domingo?
It's packed with tourists.
This is the best time to be at the hotel.
-Hey, where's Marimar? -Sleeping.
Forget it. Let her rest.
And Blanca?
In some German guy's room, body number 57.
-Have you talked to her? -When would I?
-Come on, we're gonna miss the excursion. -Oh!
You girls have fun!
[exhales] Hey, ping pong?
No way. Let's go to the pool, guys.
-No, no, the sun causes cancer, damn it. -What are you doing in the Caribbean?
Ugh! I should have went with the girls.
CAN WE MEET? IN PRIVATE
[Luis sighs]
I'll be back!
Where's he going?
To take a shit.
-[slurps] -[gasps]
[Marimar] Uh…
What's going on, Marimar?
-Luis… -[both chuckle]
Well, so I need to talk to you about something sensitive.
-[exclaims] -I'm embarrassed.
Oh please. I mean, I, uh… [clears throat]
You can tell me anything. [exhales]
-Your father grabbed my tush. -What?
At first, I thought it was just accidental,
but then, he grabbed my breast and tried to kiss me.
Great, it's Blanca! [chuckles]
[sighs] Eight restaurants, six bars, seven pools and here you are.
Yeah. Hmm.
Well, since we ran into each other by pure chance,
it might be a good time to have a quick conversation.
-Oh. Carlos, another one, please. -Coming right up.
-[Santi] Eva's pregnant. -Yeah?
Yeah, well, it was kind of an accident.
-It's not yours? -But yeah. No, it is… it's mine.
Yes, but this wasn't the plan.
-We were trying to, but not like this. -Just spit it out already.
Don't you think it's a little sad to stay at home and watch me start a family
when I'm with another woman?
Well, I do.
Yeah, it's tragic.
Uh-huh. What will you do?
-Drink more. -After that?
I'll move out, obviously.
Believe it or not, I want you to be happy.
Carlos, pour him one. He's gonna be a dad.
-[Carlos] Congratulations, sir. -Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.
[Blanca] Hmm.
Dad, how could you sexually assault Mom's nurse? Come on!
[Joaquín] She was provocative.
Marimar, provocative?
-She was very affectionate with me. -[scoffs]
Dad, you know in this family, we don't interpret women's signals well.
-Thank God she didn't report you. -Report me? Why?
Because what you did is a felony.
Then send me an ugly nurse.
I'm not sending anyone else! That's it. Figure it out yourself!
When are you coming back? The kids are a pain in the ass.
Deal with it! [gasps]
-[laughs] -My son gropes the babysitter.
And my father gropes the nurse?
Yeah, and you, you harass your kid's tutor and your patrol partner.
-You're a family of sexual deviants. -It's not funny, Esther.
You're all gonna end up in jail! [laughs]
-[Santi] Japanese? -It's okay.
Anyone interested in Italian instead?
-Carbs in the evening? -Sushi has rice.
-The French place looks good too. -Fuck that. I feel like steak.
No, no, no, no steak. No, please.
Well, for dinner, fish is better, isn't it?
-Is everybody fucking nuts? -That stupid deconstruction.
Okay, we're going to the Mexican place. You do whatever you want.
French wasn't such a bad idea.
Go with them.
-We'll meet up for drinks later. -Or not.
-[chattering] -[food sizzling]
-On target! -[laughing]
Let's see if he drops the spatula.
I mean, all that co-parenting shit, only to end up in a traditional couple
with an old-fashioned bun in the oven.
-[chuckles] -The Lord works in mysterious ways.
-Raúl, you're starting to freak me out. -[phone rings]
-Eva! -Speakerphone!
[Eva] Santi.
I got my period! [laughs]
[exhales] Santi?
Uh, yeah. Great, great. You're relieved?
Relieved? This is the best day of my life. [laughs]
Yeah. I don't know.
I can think of better days, like my daughter's birth, for example.
-The first time she called me "daddy." -Bye, call me tomorrow.
Well… [exhales]
…it's fine. At least I have a girlfriend, right?
Are you sure?
Oh God. You're major delulu. I'm worried.
What are you doing?
Sending her flowers. With a romantic note.
So it's absolutely clear.
Hey!
[clamoring]
[Raúl] Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho! Damn.
All right, red. I'm going red.
And 18.
And four too.
-Gimme odd. -[croupier] No more bets.
"Why have a child if you're gonna let the maid raise him?"
"She only got pregnant to gain followers."
"I hope they take your baby away
and give him to a mother who really loves him." [scoffs]
Come on, do you know any of them?
[groans] No, that's not what's sad about it though.
The people criticizing are strangers.
It still affects me. It affects me because they're right.
They're just assholes who've got nothing better to do with their lives.
Eight, black, even.
-[Esther gasps] -[laughs]
Yeah, I think that's why I can't let Pedro go, you know?
Because I'm such a shitty mother, I'm afraid if Gael ends up alone with me,
his life will be a disaster.
So you fucked Pedro for your son's sake, huh? [chuckles]
That and because I wanted to.
-That's life, girl. -Come on, 24!
-And black. And even. -Don't change your bet.
[croupier] No more bets.
-So I'm not a bad mother? -Of course you're a bad mother.
[laughs] We all are.
The problem is that you're a bad mother in public,
so people tear you apart.
I'm a bad mother in private. Only my mother-in-law cares.
And look, she cared so much she had a stroke.
So screw her. That's karma.
Esther, stop drinking.
All I'm saying, it's impossible not to screw up.
The bar for being a good mother is so damn high that it's unreachable.
[croupier] Twenty-three, red, odd.
Come on, let's go dance. Mm.
Honey, you've done enough by reproducing.
-And report those comments as hate speech. -[Esther] Come on!
-[Marimar] What is this? -[dance music playing]
This is… I mean, I can't drink this.
-So good! -I love this song!
[dance music continues]
[door opens]
Hi, there.
Hey. It's four in the morning. I think we need to talk.
Uh, wait. First, I have to pee.
[Pedro] Daniela, you sleep with me,
then kick me out of your bed, then invite me to the Caribbean,
but don't let me hug you, 'cause it's too hot.
You go out partying.
-What the hell do you want from me? -[Daniela] I don't know.
I'm not good enough.
Mm. What do I want from you?
-[toilet flushes] -[Pedro exhales]
[Daniela] Mm. Well…
I want to have a man at home who takes care of my son
and doesn't bother me because on top of being a mother,
I want to have a career. Mm.
And if we suddenly feel like having sex, we do it.
And then… [sighs]
…if by chance, a casual lover shows up,
and we can meet in my bachelorette pad, well,
that's fair game.
Not you. You stay faithful.
I mean, a boyfriend, like a real boyfriend? Mm. No, thank you.
But I like coming home, and you being there.
And would you like your brandy and slippers
ready for you when you come home?
Not brandy, but Moscow mule, yeah. [clicks tongue]
I guess I was expecting something a little more romantic.
Oh, Pedro!
You're the man of my life,
but not the love of my life. [sighs]
Ooh.
[Pedro] I'm the man of her life, but not the love of her life.
Isn't that the same? Or…
Apparently not.
So who's the love of her life?
Go figure. She doesn't even know.
But being the man of her life isn't that bad, is it?
It's fucking terrible. It means she still hasn't found the love of her life.
-Or it was another guy. -Oh yeah. Like you with Marimar.
[Luis] Will you go already?
Mónica, I've got good news.
Remember the ex I told you I got back with?
Well… [laughs]
…it was a one-time relapse.
I couldn't sleep because of the baby, so I was a mess.
-We can meet whenever you want. Miss you. -[beeps]
[Luis grunts]
Honey, I booked a couple's massage.
Right now? No, I'm in the zone.
Come on, you have all afternoon to write.
Luis, I'm still mad at you.
And that's exactly what I wanna fix. Let's go.
[slurps]
I'm never gonna finish it.
What's the point of short films anyway?
What do you mean, Luis?
Well, to go to festivals and win big awards.
And to be discovered by agents.
[Luis] Oh.
-What? -No, nothing.
-Just tell me what you're thinking. -I'm not thinking anything. I'm listening.
I feel like you're holding back.
What do you mean?
Luis, I saw you with Marimar on your motorcycle.
Without a helmet. You're a father.
-It's irresponsible! -Uh…
[masseuse] Hello, my name is Negra.
[masseuse 2] Hello, my name is Santa.
-Face down and relax, please. -Mm.
[grunts]
-[Esther] Fucking liar. -[Luis] She told you to relax.
Drooling over Marimar is so pathetic.
She asked me to give her a ride to her house.
Only thing sadder than your husband cheating is him trying and failing.
-I haven't tried anything. -Why do you give her rides then? Hmm?
[Luis] Pathetic is your obsession with being an actress.
I knew it. You don't support me!
Esther, I love you very much, but you're a very bad actress.
Oh!
[Luis] And an even worse writer.
Echoes of a Lie is the most boring thing I've seen in my life.
What?
[Luis] In that theater, I understood Einstein.
I watched time and space curve until they stopped.
Well, your friends loved it.
I had to stop my friends from telling you to go back to driving school.
If you want, we can come back later.
No, no, go ahead. It's this one. He won't shut up.
[Luis] Unbelievable.
Uh, Eva, hi. Hey, did you get my flowers?
You haven't said anything.
Hmm. Very pretty. Santi, I wanna break up.
What?
I was looking for a father, not a boyfriend.
What?
Well, but then we fell in love, so…
[scoffs] Dude, we slept together twice.
Okay, then maybe…
Let's go back to the original plan and just be co-parents.
No, it wouldn't work. We've already fucked.
Now I see you as an ex.
What? After two times?
-Goodbye, Santi. -No, no, Eva, listen to me.
Why don't you wanna try? How did I mess up?
I'm good with you now,
but I don't see potential in the long term with you.
-You're missing something. -What is it?
We could stay like this for a year or two.
The longer we drag it out, the worse we'll feel when we break up.
And on top of that, I'll have wasted your time.
[scoffs] I'll have wasted mine too.
Yeah.
Right, no. It makes total sense.
-Be happy. Take care. Goodbye. -[clicks tongue]
Mm. What a lovely trip, right?
Mm.
Marimar, I'm gonna file for an annulment.
I feel the calling.
[chuckles] What calling?
To priesthood.
That marriage retreat has opened my eyes.
I need to give myself fully to God.
-[chuckles] Raúl, quit joking around. -No, no, no.
That's why I screwed up my life so much already.
Because I was lost, but I finally found myself.
I wanna be a priest. Hmm?
I've found my vocation, and it's all thanks to you.
That's why the Lord brought us together. God had a plan for us.
[exhales] I'm going to the room to pray.
-[sighs] -You're all done. How was the massage?
Very good, very good. Thank you.
[Santa] Stay as long as you want. No rush.
[Luis] Mm-hmm.
You don't support me, and you cheat. You're shit!
Let me remind you, the only cheater here is you.
You screwed your personal trainer.
This is way worse! It's emotional cheating. You're in love with her!
That's right. I'm in love with Marimar.
You're telling me like that? So casually?
Would you prefer I lie? Make up your mind.
So now what do we do?
Nothing. What could we do?
We just carry on.
What do you mean, carry on?
You told me to my fucking face that you love someone else.
-[gasps] -Esther, you're the woman of my life.
But not the love of my life.
I need some fresh air.
[grunts]
[panting]
[sighs]
Are you okay, Marimar?
[exhales] Raúl wants to be a priest.
He's gonna ask for an annulment. He has felt the calling.
Raúl?
Technically, he wants to leave me for God. And how could I be mad at God?
Right.
I had a big fight with Esther.
I told her that I'm in love with you. And of course, she got mad.
-You're so cute. -Uh…
I don't know. What do you think?
-It's wonderful. -Really?
It's an opportunity to love Esther better.
The harder it is to love your spouse, the freer your love for her is.
Because by not feeling it, you're choosing it.
[knock on door]
-Who is it? -[Raúl] It's me.
[both] Mm! Mm!
-Stop! -I can't take it.
What are you doing? Didn't you find God or something?
I'm messed up. You're messed up.
Why don't we just admit that we've screwed up our lives
by not admitting we're made for each other?
I'm not leaving without you.
As if I don't have enough problems already. [scoffs]
Luz, you're the woman of my life and the love of my life.
You're my everything.
Honey, I love you very much.
But at this point, we're both way too damaged to end up together.
Or not.
Raúl, I became a lesbian. You got married in a church.
We're a total mess.
If only you had said yes when I put the ring in that coulant.
If only you hadn't fucked other women while I was faithful.
Yeah.
What does it mean to be a man?
In opposition to his mother, he doesn't wanna be a baby
In opposition to women,
he doesn't wanna be effeminate.
And… hmm.
Santi, come on, man.
I'll deconstruct the whole hotel.
This evening during the show, I'll jump in to talk.
[Pedro] They're all tourists. They won't understand you.
[Santi] Okay, okay. Uh…
-[Pedro exhales] Come on. -[speaks Spanish]
[speaking Italian]
[groans] Santi, let's go, dude. It's hot, for fuck's sake.
[mournful string music playing]
[chattering]
Are you gonna be like this all night?
I'm only asking 'cause we still have four days here.
It's a big hotel. [exhales]
[Pedro exhales]
[Raúl mutters]
Uh, yep. Yeah.
[dance music playing]
[slow-tempo music continues]
Listen, uh, Raúl.
We'd love to have you. We have a huge vocational crisis.
Then let's do it. This is like the military, right?
-Where do I sign up? -First, tell me what happened.
Why do you wanna become a priest all of a sudden?
Because everything's fucked up, Father.
I see suffering.
-I see confusion. I see… -My love!
-Hi, honey. -…individualism.
Mm! I've missed you so much, my love.
You're sure?
Luz, open or closed relationship,
I don't care. I just wanna be with you.
And I only want you,
but I wanna be the one who wears the pants in the relationship.
That's my thing.
We have a problem then.
[Raúl] Nobody makes sacrifices anymore, especially not for love.
There are no happy endings. Only resignation.
I told you. I'm the woman of your life. And you wanna get rid of me.
I don't get it. What am I missing? What's my problem?
Do you want a list, honey?
-[gasps] -I'm back. Life's very expensive.
Oh, sweetie! Sweetie! [gasps]
-Oh, sweetie! [gasping] -[laughs] Hey, Dad.
There we go. Back to being a family.
[Raúl] The traditional family model no longer works.
But there's no valid alternative.
Shouldn't I be the one leaving?
This is Gael's house. We'll be the ones coming and going.
Pedro, don't you think you're exaggerating a bit?
-[cell phone chimes] -I want to be the love of someone's life.
If you don't value me, someone else will.
Mónica from Tinder.
[Mónica] Pedro, I've been through a lot. Ghosting, curving, love bombing,
but I have never ever met a guy this old who's still a fucking idiot.
[Pedro clears throat]
[beeps]
I guess we're not meeting?
[Raúl] The truth is life is a valley of tears.
There's no solution. No hope.
No, okay, let me-- Esther, listen to me. You don't understand.
Go be with the love of your life!
-[Iris] Wow, you hooked up with Marimar? -Even they know who it is!
-Please listen. -What?
-It's hard to explain. -Yeah.
I love you more freely because I choose to be with you,
even if I don't want to.
I'm sorry. What?
I mean, the less I love you,
the freer and more beautiful my love for you is.
[Esther exhales]
[groans, sighs]
The only hope is God.
It has to be God. There is no other choice.
It is by elimination.
Very well. We can't afford to reject applicants.
Welcome, son.
Well, I'm not calling you "Father."
It's okay. I absolve you.
How long are you gonna keep up this nonsense?
Till Marimar leaves the house. But she's already accepted it.
Esther wants a divorce.
You didn't see that coming?
It's Pedro's fault.
You confused me with all your "the love of my life,
the woman of my life" shit.
But I've never made that distinction before.
Those always went together.
Duh. You use those chicks' concepts, you lose. [clicks tongue]
You realize this is the first time
since we've known each other that the four of us are all single?
I was about to tell you that, uh, tonight, I'm sleeping in the bachelor pad.
Yeah, me too.
-Me too. -Sounds great. Count me in.
So, which one of us gets the good bed?
Hey! Hey!
-Last one's a sissy! -Don't act like children!
-[cell phone chimes] -[Luis] I've been cleaning for months!
[Lola] Santi, I miss you.
Lola, I've canceled the subscription.
Can-cel-la-tion! Shit!
[classical music playing] bscription.
