[Distant children cheering]
You Are My Problem
MAN: How much did you say? LUISA: Twenty five percent.
MAN: Twenty five percent...
LUISA: More than twenty five percent of mothers
in this country are single.
These mothers do not have any kind of child support,
be it from the biological or legal fathers.
MAN: So, the remaining seventy five percent are being supported
LUISA: Which means that there are, at least,
more than five million women who,
apart from taking care of their children,
have to make a living under the most unequal circumstances.
More than five million women!
MECHE: The whole population of Denmark, or Singapur.
MAN: Or Iztapalapa.
[Soft laughter]
MAN: Ma'am, wouldn't it be... MECHE: Doctor! Doctor Solorzano.
[Projector beeps]
MAN: Wouldn't it be better... Doctor?
To give that money directly to the mothers?
The resources you ask for are quite the sum,
especially in these times.
LUISA: Handouts do not change people's consciousness.
In order to change this country, we need to educate.
To confront, to contain.
Do you know what resilience means?
[Phone vibrates]
LUISA: Unbelievable!
[Phone continues to vibrate]
[Playful music]
LUISA: I'm sorry.
As I was saying.
It's our moral duty to transform a society that lives...
traditionally under the yoke of...
Women have to be a vehicle for the transformation of society.
A pillar in the construction of...Meche!
[Siren and screams over the phone]
[Siren and screams continue]
CHILDREN: Sebas! Sebas!
Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump, Sebas!
PRINCIPAL: Sebastian, get down, for the love of God!
They'll shut down the school!
[Megaphone] Get behind the security line!
FIREMEN: Left, left!
[Children continue cheering]
CHILD: Just jump, dude!
FIREMEN: Right, right...
OFFICER: What's happening, buddy?
It's alright, let's go to the park, I'll take you.
It's going to be okay.
Come on buddy, you can trust me.
[Lively jazz]
[Crowd sounds fade in]
GIRL: You can do it, Sebas!
[Crowd goes silent]
BOY: Damn, he's really gonna do it!
[Eerie sounds]
[Loud thud]
[Crowd cheers]
[Crowd goes silent]
[Crowd applauds, music fades in]
SEBAS: It was just an experiment.
CHAYO: Original spud gun,
three blowguns with usable cartridges,
plastic and wooden slingshots,
paper ball throwers made with five and ten millimeter syringes
six sulfur smoke bombs,
and a laser with range of three kilometers.
PRINCIPAL: We confiscated that in the last trimester.
LUISA: I understand, profesor, I'd like to...
PRINCIPAL: Go on Chayito.
CHAYO: Do you recognize this signature, Doctor?
Do these drawings and handwriting belong to your son?
LUISA: Well, I don't think so, Chayito.
These notebooks have been discontinued.
Those "guns" as you call them,
were designed when he wasn't even born.
You are well aware of that.
How old are you, Chayito?
CHAYO: Rosario! PRINCIPAL: That's not the point.
LUISA: Tell them, Sebastian, is this your handwriting?!
Did you make these designs?
If we're going to puta child on trial without due process,
then let's go there!
This evidence has been manipulated.
If he jumped from the roof it's clearly a replicated behavior.
We're talking about inherited patterns,
which can only be eradicated with the help of professionals!
And supposedly that is your job, right?
What's the point of this school
if it's not a place for containment, for diagnosis!
SEBAS: Mom!
LUISA: Diagnosis and elaboration model that helps to understand
the perceptions that influence the emotions
and behaviors of the individual.
That is precisely your job!
I think I'm paying for that!
PRINCIPAL: Listen...
Sebastian.
Did you make those drawings?
Did you design these weapons?
LUISA: Sebastian!
SEBAS: My dad. They're my dad's inventions.
LUISA: You see?
PRINCIPAL: Doctor, with all due respect,
this is a school, not a reformatory.
We have 1300 students.
You are the psychologist.
Your son has failed every single class.
He falsifies grades, sells exams.
Some teachers don't even know him
because he's never been to class. My God!
You jumped from a third floor today,
you algost gave me a heart attack!
I don't know what else to do, you've reached the limit.
And I can't let you be such a bad influence on your classmates
I'm really sorry, I have no choice but to expel you.
LUISA: Let's go!
[Playful music plays]
PRINCIPAL: Sebastian.
What was your experiment about?
[Music continues]
RADIO: Silence is the most valuable tool that we have.
LUISA: Don't even think about it!
You could have killed yourself!
Or ended up paraplegic, can you imagine?
Paralyzed in a wheelchair for some foolishness!
The firemen were there.
SEBAS: I wouldn't have done it otherwise!
LUISA: You have lost the school year!
A whole year of tuition, as if we were rich!
Do you know where I was, when they called me?
SEBAS: [Mocking] Working?
[Car brakes]
LUISA: I've been preparing for five years, and you just ruined!
SEBAS: I didn't mean to! LUISA: You didn't mean to?!
You jumped off the roof!
SEBAS: I didn't know your meeting was today!
LUISA: So you didn't mean to?!
How many schools have you been expelled from, eight?
SEBAS: Seven.
[Cars honking]
LUISA: And you couldn't wait until tomorrow?
SEBAS: To jump?
LUISA: To talk to me and tell me what's going on!
SEBAS: How am I supposed to know?
You're the psychologist!
LUISA: Son of a bitch!
[Crash sounds]
[Suspenseful music]
[Gun clicks]
SEBAS: You'll get it.
LUISA: I had to leave in the middle of the meeting.
SEBAS: Did you give them all the numbers?
You'll get it.
But...
SEBAS: That's not the problem. LUISA: And what's the problem?
SEBAS: I can't control it.
LUISA: What?
I've seen pictures of the hotel congress will take place.
There's a ridiculous fountain at the entrance.
LUISA: So, what?
Are you gonna fill it with paint or detergent?
So what's your plan if I get the congress?
SEBAS: It's not a plan!
I just can't help it.
LUISA: You're not a baby, Sebastian.
SEBAS: There's stuff that you also can't control.
LUISA: Yeah, you, for example!
SEBAS: You're afraid of flying.
You buy me organic food but secretly you eat McDonald's.
We never go to the movies because you hate crying in public.
SEBAS: And we don't have a microwave...
LUISA: Because you could become sterile!
SEBAS: You know that's not true!
But you can't help it.
LUISA: No, listen...
Phobias are a disorder, okay?!
Responsibility is an obligation, you are fifteen!
Your only concern should be school.
SEBAS: Well, I am concerned. I can't even sleep.
LUISA: So you jumped off the roof because you couldn't sleep?
SEBAS: Obviously not.
LUISA: You've been kicked out of school, Sebastian.
And you did it on purpose. I'd like to knowwhat your plan is.
SEBAS: I could work.
LUISA: You're a minor.
SEBAS: Three million minors work in Mexico.
LUISA: Illegally.
SEBAS: They don't need to know that I'm a minor.
SEBAS: Why not? I could...
LUISA: No you can't! You need to study!
LUISA: I have two Masters and... SEBAS: A PhD.
SEBAS: But not everyone can be a genius like you.
LUISA: And not everyone can falsify documents or sell exams.
Or hack school computers.
SEBAS: You saved half of my tuition!
LUISA: Whatever.
SEBAS: Mom...
For real. I mean it.
You will get that congress.
But I think I might ruin it for you.
LUISA: Are you threatening me? SEBAS: I'm asking for help.
LUISA: So let me get this straight.
You have been expelled from seven schools,
And to keep you from ruining my congress,
I have to send you to Disneyland?
SEBAS: It doesn't have to be Disneyland.
LUISA: You didn't need to make this so complicated.
If you want to speak with him why don't you just call him?
[Distant footsteps]
[Door shuts]
[Old school Rock music plays]
[Phone rings]
[Mouse clicks]
[Phone continues ringing]
VOICEMAIL: The number you called is not available.
[Children cheer]
SEBAS: There? DAD: Yes, just there.
DAD: Show me what you got from the tooth fairy?
Let me see, champ!
Look at that.
DAD: What do you say? SEBAS: Thank you, tooth fairy!
DAD: Thank you! Now blow your mom a kiss.
DAD: Mom! SEBAS: Mom!
DAD: [Whispers] I love you, mom. SEBAS: I love you, mom!
LUISA: Me too!
[Suspenseful music plays]
[Keyboard and mouse noises]
[Phone vibrates]
[Grunts]
LUISA: Meche, what's up?
Did we get it?
We got it?!
[Screams] Sebastian, we got it!
I really understand you, or I try to understand.
Look, I know that...
Life is not easy, but...
It's not easy for anyone, we all have problems.
And...
I know that living with me might be...
Boring, but,
we are a team, right?
Yes, sweetie, we are a team!
We take care of each other, we support each other,
and we got the congress!
And you helped me with all those numbers I don't understand.
Thanks to you...
I got it!
Sebastian?
[Angry scream] Sebastian!
I can't believe it!
No! Sebastian!
[Lively piano music]
[Phone rings]
VOICEMAIL: The number you dialed is out of service.
[Phone vibrates]
Where the fuck do you think you're going, are you insane?!
MECHE: It's Meche, Doctor. I just got a call from...
LUISA: I can't right now! MECHE: They said it's urgent.
LUISA: What's so urgent?!
MECHE: What did Sebastian do now?
[Phone pings]
[Engine races]
WOMAN: How old are you? SEBAS: Eighteen.
WOMAN: And this is...
SEBAS: My draft card.
[Lively music plays]
LUISA: You're unbelievable! Let's go!
SEBAS: What are you doing here? LUISA: What do you mean?
LUISA: I'm your mother and you're a minor!
Who the fuck let you on the plane?
CABIN CREW: Please take a seat Ma'am!
What's your seat? Can I see your ticket?
LUISA: Here's my ticket but we're not going anywhere!
This is a minor and he does not have my consent!
SEBAS: I didn't escape, I'm just going to see dad.
SEBAS: Punta Coyote!
He's waiting for me at the airport. CABIN CREW: Ma'am!
LUISA: I have a lot of things to do, I
I will not discuss this with you!
SEBAS: He sent me the ticket! LUISA: We're leaving!
CABIN CREW: You can't get off the plane, ma'am!
LUISA: This is an emergency!
SEBAS: I'm going to ruin your life!
I'm going there, to help you!
CABIN CREW: Please behave, ma'am
You're putting everyone in danger!
LUISA: I've told you this is an emergency,now move! Let's go!
PASSENGER: Let her off!
PASSENGER: Can someone stop her?
LUISA: Sebastian, open the door!
SEBAS: We're making a fool of ourselves!
LUISA: Since when do you care?
LUISA: Stop filming me. SEBAS: She's afraid of flying!
SEBAS: If she doesn't get off she'll have a panic attack!
LUISA: I'm not getting off without you!
I'm your mom, you can't do whatever you want!
SEBAS: You're my mom, not my boss.
LUISA: If I were your boss you would be fired! Open the door!
SEBAS: This is a helix plane. Luisa, please!
Get off before it...
[Pilot announcing takeoff]
[Engine starts]
PILOT: Welcome to flight 25 from Mexico City
to La Paz, Baja California.
CABIN CREW: Put her seatbelt on! Everyone with seatbelts on!
SEBAS: Calm down. It's a turbo helix.
These are the safest ones, remember.
[Loud engine noises]
[Snoring]
CABIN CREW: I'm glad the pill worked.
[Lively music resumes]
LUISA: Where's your dad?
SEBAS: Something happened with the car.
But he's coming.
You can go back.
Thank you for dropping me off.
LUISA: Sebastian.
SEBAS: You can take a turbine aircraft, they fly higher...
LUISA: Can you stop? SEBAS:What do you want me to do?
SEBAS: His car is old.
It's the same one.
Did you forget about it?
LUISA: No, never. SEBAS: Well, it broke down.
So I'm gonna meet him somewhere else.
I need to take... a bus. I have money.
LUISA: A bus?
SEBAS: Yes, a bus.
I can handle that. If you don't believe me, call him.
LUISA: Why did you leave without saying goodbye?
Do you have an idea how that made me feel?
Think about it. How would you feel if one day I just left?
SEBAS: If I had told you we wouldn't be here.
LUISA: Well, you forgot to say bye.
LUISA: Where is your bus headed?
[Playful music]
LUISA: Hurry up!
Sir, do you work here? I need a car urgently.
MIKE: What are you looking for, exactly?
LUISA: I don't know, something cheap,taxis are so expensive.
Do you have a japanese car?
MIKE:Japanese car in California? LUISA: This is still Mexico.
MIKE: Baby, you need more power. LUISA: Baby?
Meche? What's up? Hold on, calm down!
You're always shouting. Breathe, please!
Can you please breathe?! MIKE: Busy woman, right?
SEBAS: How much for the cheapest one?
[Door opens]
MIKE: Okay lady, all set. LUISA: Okay.
MIKE: Just remember, you don't have any insurance.
The gas meter does not work.
The reverse is first gear,
and it's best you do not drive at night.
LUISA: Yeah, sure. Thanks. MIKE: Thank you!
LUISA: Okay Sebastian, where to?
[Phone beeps]
GPS: All set. Let's go!
LUISA [Screams]: 450 kilometers?!
SEBAS: I told you I can walk.
LUISA: What am I gonna do about my congress?!
Where do you think you're going?!
Sebastián! Come back! Where are you going?!
SEBAS: I'm gonna go see dad!
LUISA: And how do you think you'll get there, walking?
SEBAS: I don't know, by bus.
LUISA: Don't be ridiculous, you can't go by yourself.
SEBAS: But you're so upset!
LUISA: It's too far away, I'm gonna miss my appointments!
SEBAS: You're gonna miss the plane.Just go, I'll go by myself
LUISA: Last thing I need right now is a helix airplane.Let's go
[Doors open and shut]
LUISA: Put your seatbelt on!
[Engine starts]
[Luisa screams]
MIKE: Crazy lady!
Jesus!
[Guitar music plays]
LUISA: What now?
SEBAS: It's the AC.
It's coming out warm.
LUISA: The windows don't work.
SEBAS: It was the cheapest. LUISA:We could have done better.
You should have rented something more fun,like one of those jeeps
SEBAS: Why don't you go back then? I want a scooter.
LUISA: You're not a pizza, okay?
I'm gonna take you to your dad safe and sound.
Even if it's in this piece of crap.
[Song plays on radio]
LUISA: No, leave it! I like that one.
[Song continues playing]
SEBAS: It's so bad!
[Luisa sings]

[Harmonica plays through headphones]
[Object crashes on windshield]
LUISA: Hey! SEBAS: What's wrong?
LUISA: I've been calling you for hours!
Can you give me a tissue or something, please?
SEBAS: There's nothing.
LUISA: Look in my purse.
Hurry up!
[Slams door]
LUISA: Unbelievable.
SEBAS: It's the only thing I found.
LUISA: You gotta be kidding.
SEBAS: It's organic.
LUISA: Are you just gonna stand there? Go away!
[Harmonica resumes]
[Music stops]
LUISA: What's wrong? SEBAS: Nothing.
LUISA: Sure?
SEBAS: I haven't said a thing.
LUISA: But you're thinking. What are you thinking?
SEBAS: I'm not thinking about anything.
LUISA: We're alway thinking about something.
SEBAS: I don't know.
Did you have to... go to the bathroom there?
LUISA: What did you expect me to do?
SEBAS: Wait.
LUISA: Wait? Do you think it was wrong?
SEBAS: You don't?
LUISA: I think it's worse to jump off a third floor.
SEBAS: Mom...
LUISA: What? Let's talk about your experiment.
What did you want to prove?
SEBAS: Does it have to be now?
LUISA: I have nothing better to do, do you?
SEBAS: I can think of a thousand things.
LUISA: A thousand? If you tell me about you experiment,
we can do one of those things together.
SEBAS: Deal. But I go first.
I want to drive.
LUISA: What? SEBAS: I want to drive.
SEBAS: Yeah?
LUISA: Okay. Put your hands at 10:10.
SEBAS: 09:15. LUISA: It's the same.
SEBAS: Dad used to drive with one hand.
LUISA: Wow. You have a good memory.
SEBAS: I always sat in the back.
The dashboard was always full of blinking dots,
and only one hand on the wheel.
LUISA: Well, but just put both hands on the wheel, okay?
SEBAS: His other hand was always on your leg.
LUISA: The most important thing is...
SEBAS: The distance.
LUISA: Okay, smartass.
SEBAS: It's better if you don't know.
LUISA: Did you steal my car?
SEBAS: Only on Tuesdays.
LUISA: But on Tuesdays I'm at the office.
SEBAS: I drive it with my friends from four to six.
When you see your loonies.
LUISA: Did you falsify a license?
SEBAS: Mom... I really don't want to fight.
We're here, can we try to make the best out of it?
LUISA: Of course, we're just having a little chat.
Just catching up.
SEBAS: Okay, I falsified my license, my military draft,
I stole your car with my friends,
I jumped off the roof, and I also got expelled from school
What about you?
LUISA: Great! I finally got the congress.
I crashed my car, and I got on a helix airplane!
And to celebrate that my kid was expelled,
we came to the beach. Really great.
LUISA: Now. You can really tell me.
What was the experiment about?
SEBAS: I just... wanted to...
[Phone vibrates]
LUISA: I'm really sorry. What is going on, Meche?
What?! Why?! Why would they do that?!
They've got some nerve! They can't do that, it's my project!
I'll make the changes, not them. Yes, I'm on it!
SEBAS: All good?
LUISA: I need to make some changes to the curriculum.
I don't know how I'm gonna do that.
You can use this.
LUISA: Thank you.

[Distant child voice] Mom...
Mom!
They're gonna put me in jail!
OFFICER: Taurus van, pull over.
They're gonna put me in jail. LUISA: What's happening?
SEBAS: They'll put me in jail! LUISA: Calm down.
SEBAS: It's your fault, you fell asleep!
[Music plays over the radio]
[Music stops]
[Door opens]
[Door slams]
LUISA: Good evening, Sir. HUERTA: Officer. Officer Huerta.
LUISA: Good evening Officer. How can I help you?
HUERTA: Can I have your license and registration,please?
LUISA: Can you just tell me why you stopped us?
HUERTA:One of your lights is off LUISA: What?
SEBAS: Mike said we shouldn't drive at night.
LUISA: Mike?
SEBAS: The guy who rented us the van.
HUERTA: Can I see your license, please?
I meant his. He was driving, right?
SEBAS: I didn't want to. It was her fault,she fell asleep
LUISA: Sebastian.
Give me your license, sweetie.
HUERTA: Come with me, please. LUISA: Of course.
[Door slams]
HUERTA: Luisa Solorzano.
I apologize for the inconvenience,
but your little brother shouldn't be driving.
LUISA: He's my son.
HUERTA: And this license is... LUISA: Listen, officer,
the kid has come from very far away just to see his dad.
I was just teaching him how to drive,
in the city it's more complicated.
HUERTA: You fell asleep?
LUISA: Yes, I fell asleep.
[Melancholic music plays]
HUERTA: I had the same...
My mom taught me how to drive.
My dad left us when I was five.
You really remind me of her.
She also had to raise us by herself.
She had many jobs.
Hairdresser in the morning,
dressed as a mascot in the afternoon
bartender at night.
At dawn...
LUISA: Are you okay?
HUERTA: The most important job of all...
is being a mother.
SEBAS: She gave the license to the policeman,but it's fake!
I think I'm gonna go to jail. And it's her fault!
Can you come and get me? I think...
LUISA: ¿Who are you talking to?
SEBAS: No one. It was just a message.
HUERTA: May God bless your mother.
She's an example and a gift from God.
LUISA: Is there anything else, Officer?
HUERTA: Here.
You'll find a town in about 25 km, Punta Cangrejo.
You can spend the night there. It's beautiful.
My mother was born there, did I tell you?
LUISA: Now we know.
HUERTA: Here, you can take this with you.
LUISA: Thank you. HUERTA: Drive safe.
[Engine starts]
SEBAS: How much was the fine?
You fell asleep, it wasn't my fault.
Why did you give him my license? You know it's false.
I could have gone to jail!
LUISA: You called your dad to complain about me?
SEBAS: I left him a message.
I got scared! It's normal to reach out to him.
LUISA: Nothing is normal with you. You jumped off a roof!
I've never called your dad
to tell him about your nonsense!
SEBAS: You never call him anyways!
LUISA: What do you know? You have no fucking idea!
SEBAS: It's not my fault that he left you!
LUISA: He did not leave me!
SEBAS: So you kicked him out?! LUISA: That's not it!
People grow apart!
Adults grow apart!
LUISA: Precisely! Such is life.
You're gonna have to learn to live with that.
SEBAS: I'll never stop loving anyone.
LUISA: Well, congratulations!
But life is not only about loving people!
You have to wake up with them, have kids with them,
pay tuition, change diapers.
That's why I'm gonna live with him, so you don't have
LUISA: What did you say? SEBAS: I'm gonna live with dad.
LUISA: And you're telling me now?!
I left my job in the worst possible moment!
I got on that helix airplane
and drove God knows how many kilometers.
Why didn't he tell me anything?
Since when have you been planning this?
I've reached my limit. He's gonna hear me now!
SEBAS: He doesn't know I'm here.
LUISA: What? SEBAS: Dad doesn't know I'm here
LUISA: You told me he's waiting for you.
That he bought you a plane ticket.
You lied to me?!
[Screams] What is your goddamn problem, Sebastian?!
SEBAS: You! You're my goddamn problem!
[Sobs]
[Screams]
[Sound of waves]
SEBAS: [Screams] Mom!
LUISA: What do you want?!
Leave me alone!
Don't even think about it!
SEBAS: It's not your beach! LUISA: Yes it is!
[Water splashes]
SEBAS: I left...
to make your life less complicated.
LUISA: My life hasn't been easy,
but I've always tried to give you what you need.
SEBAS: I need my dad.
LUISA: And when did you plan to tell him
you want to live with him?
SEBAS: I don't know.
When I see him?
LUISA: Don't you think it's better to tell him before?
SEBAS: What if he doesn't want to see me?
Maybe it's better to catch him off guard,
[Car pulls over]
[Distant voices]
LUISA: [Screams] Hey! MAN: Hello!
LUISA: Yes! It's mine.
What are you doing? That's our car!
What do you want? MAN: Shut up, alright?
LUISA: [Screams] Hey!
[Engine starts]
LUISA: Motherfuckers!
Fuck me, this can't be!
They took my purse!
SEBAS: My headphones and my backpack too!
LUISA: Let's go! We can still catch them.
SEBAS: Are you crazy?
LUISA: They took the file with my curriculum!
SEBAS: Mom, they could hurt you.
SEBAS: There! Stop there.
SEBAS: I'll be right back. LUISA: But we have no money.
SEBAS: Just relax, I'll be right back.

SEBAS: What's going on? Can I help you?
CASHIER: The computer stopped working.
MAN: [Grunts] Ah! Come on, girl!
SEBAS: Can I? CASHIER: Yeah.
SEBAS: Okay.
[Keyboard sounds]
SEBAS: Give me your phone.
Got a plan?
CASHIER: Well, I'm off at ten. If you want we could...
SEBAS: A data plan?
Got a data plan?
Great.
I'm gonna set up a wireless network.
SEBAS: There!
CASHIER: Thank you so much. You saved me. How can I pay you?
SEBAS: This will do.
CASHIER: These ones suit you better.
LUISA: What did you do? SEBAS: A little job for them.
[Engine starts]
WOMAN: I can give you ten dollars. SEBAS: This is a good brand! Can't you read?
WOMAN: Ten dollars.
SEBAS: How much for the cheapest room?
I don't have anything else, I've told you, we were robbed.
WOMAN: I'll take the watch and the glasses.
SEBAS: My watch?
LUISA: Is it proper to see your mother dressed like this?
SEBAS: It's all they had. LUISA: I mean it.
LUISA: What then? Did you do it?
How do you do it?
LUISA: How did you pay for the room?
SEBAS: I had to give them my watch.
SEBAS: How stupid.
Why would you put a mirror on the ceiling?
[Woman moaning in room next door]
SEBAS: Is that what the mirror is for?
LUISA: [Laughs]
LUISA: Let's go to sleep.
[Music plays at a distance]
SEBAS: Mom.
Mom.
VICTORIA: Hi.
[Woman singing]
MAN: Can I buy you a beer?
LUISA: No thanks, I'm just trying to work.
MAN: Honey, the water is not really healthy.
[Opens beer]
LUISA: Thank you.
LUISA: Hey...
I have a question. You don't know me...
you buy me a beer, call me "honey."
You saw me here, sitting by myself, wearing this
ridiculous crop top,
so what was exactly motivated you to buy me a drink?
MAN: I'm just trying to be a gentleman. I'm sixty five.
Old school.
LUISA: No, listen, Sir... it's for my research.
MAN: You asked for water because you don't have any money,do you?
You look exhausted, I think you need some help.
LUISA: I do need help, please sit down.
Let's talk about "honey."
Is that what you call all women?
[Woman continues singing]
VICTORIA: I love those guys.
Do you like them?
They're having sex.
Wanna see?
She has to be naked, so that the male can sleep with her.
But the male is aggressive, so she has to calm him down.
Do you know what's a pheromone?
They're attraction hormones. She releases them...
To... you know. Let him know that she's ready.
SEBAS: Why are there three?
VICTORIA: Threesome.
[Chuckles] It's just an experiment.
Wanna see?
SEBAS: I have to...
LUISA: So everything leads us to the same place,
to that strange feeling of belonging.
Men go out, and what do you do?
You wear your boots... Your hats, right?
You ride your motorcycles and speed up,
feeling those metal animals
as an extension of your masculinity, right?
You go out to the streets, and what do you do?
You try to possess anything that can bring immediate satisfaction
A primary pulse injects your veins, generating
an electro-mechanical spasm
which places you in front of a subject
that you convert into an object.
I desire you, and I possess you.
I desire you...
And thus, you belong to me.
VICTORIA: Did you see? SEBAS: What?
VICTORIA: The other girl! She was so jealous.
She almost tears his head off.
SEBAS: So what's your experiment about?
VICTORIA: I just want to know if lobsters are monogamous.
SEBAS: Aren't they supposed to be in salt water?
[Chuckles]
VICTORIA: I did it.
[Motorcycle speeds up]
VICTORIA: Shit!
I have to go. Wanna come?
SEBAS: Where?
VICTORIA: No?
SEBAS: What's your name? VICTORIA: Victoria.
Nice to meet you.
LUISA: Organic toast,
positive upbringing,
you take him to school in your little Japanese car
thinking you found a place of containment,
and what does the kid do? [Microphone feedbacks] Boom!
He jumps off the roof. And while he's falling,
all you can think of is,
are they gonna charge me for the full tuition fee?
I didn't park properly, will I get towed?
Then you think about that goddamn school,and ask yourself:
Why won't these people educate? Why won't they contain?
Why didn't they prevent him from jumping off?
Well, you clearly don't speak Spanish.
Precisely that is the problem, a lack of communication!
In a couple's relationship,
human relationships, it all goes to shit
when you sweep your problems under the rug.
You let everything accumulate,
and suddenly you're on a fucking helix airplane!
Your life, suspended in time.
You have no choice but to confront your phobias,
your ghosts, and your deepest fears.
SEBAS: Hi!
VICTORIA: What are you doing here? SEBAS: Just cruising.
Want a ride?
VICTORIA: Fourteen schools?!
I've only been expelled from one
but it's the only one in town.
SEBAS: Why did you get expelled?
VICTORIA: Why did you?
SEBAS: I jumped off the roof. Seventh floor.
VICTORIA: No, I was just doing an experiment.
They just didn't get it.
SEBAS: An experiment? VICTORIA: Kissing.
I just wanted to know what kisses taste like.
But they caught me in the bathroom.
SEBAS: You got expelled for kissing?
VICTORIA: I was just kissing a girlfriend.
We got caught and expelled.
SEBAS: A girlfriend?
VICTORIA: Got a problem with that?
SEBAS: No. Cool.
And... What did your parents say?
VICTORIA: My dad is... different.
LUISA: If you're afraid of the plane,
you gotta get on the fucking plane!
You prepare for the worst, hold on to the seat,
even if you're shitting yourself.
But the worst isn't flying
drugged and tied to two giant ventilators,
the real nightmare...
is to wake up and realize that
the most important person in your life
has escaped through the window.
I'm sorry but that's something that no one can bear.
You cry for an epidural as the director films you, excited,
the hardest moment of your life!
And it's a live transmission.
It shows in live color the precise moment when your
pelvic floor collapses.
And that harrowing eruption gifts you the tiniest person
that looks at you seriously,
why the fuck they were taken out of there without consent.
And in that moment,
your life is illuminated.
You cry, exhausted,
the first cry makes you feel elated,
a painful welcome to the world.
You try to prepare your child to face life and face his fears.
And one day, the inevitable comes.
[Hopeful music plays]
The love of your life stands there in front of you,
ready to jump into the abyss.
He walks without fear. Without a doubt.
And as he falls...
you're not ready to realize... that he's not falling.
That he's flying.
That he's conquering his freedom. His right to be happy.
And you?
When did you prepare to let him go?
MAN: How old is your boy?
LUISA: Fifteen.
MAN: Honey, that boy is not a boy anymore.
LUISA: I know. MAN: Cheers.
LUISA: Cheers.
SEBAS: Are we far? VICTORIA: Are you in a hurry?
SEBAS: Do you really know how to drive?
VICTORIA: No idea.
But, you're teaching me, right? SEBAS: Yes.
You have to put your hands at 10:10.
VICTORIA: What?
SEBAS: 10:10.
VICTORIA: Where did you learn that?
SEBAS: My mom.
VICTORIA: Cool.
Turn it off.
SEBAS: The flashlight? VICTORIA: Turn it off.
SEBAS: Okay. VICTORIA: It's an experiment.
SEBAS: Wow!
I've never seen something like this.
VICTORIA: You can't see the stars from your house?
SEBAS: From my house, you can only see Walmart.
[Indistinct chatter]
[Jukebox plays]
HUERTA: I'm sorry, could I speak to you for a second?
LUISA: What's going on? HUERTA: Come with me.
LUISA: No, no, please don't! HUERTA: Come on!
[Crowd cheers]
HUERTA: I pardoned your fine.
LUISA: Are you blackmailing me?
What are we doing in front of all these people?
LUISA: No I can't believe it. HUERTA: You'll see.
LUISA: This is embarrassing, I'm so nervous, really!

VICTORIA: Come on!
[Beer opens]
[Beer breaks]
VICTORIA: [Laughing] It's okay.
It's disgusting but you'll get used to it.
Look at my dad, he can drink a bucket full of beers
and he's still standing.
SEBAS: That's your dad? VICTORIA: Yes.
It's too hot here, everyone drinks a lot.
My dad even invented eggs with beer.
Kimberly eggs.
SEBAS: Kimberly?
VICTORIA: That was my mom's name
SEBAS: Did she die?
VICTORIA: No, but she said she would come back for me.
Look.
VICTORIA: This is where he shot SEBAS: Your mom?!
VICTORIA: The guy who took her but he was drunk,
so he missed.
SEBAS: Your dad has a gun?
VICTORIA: Obviously, but... It's all cool.
[Animated music playing]
VICTORIA: Wow!
He's hot!
If you don't wanna talk about it, it's okay with me.
SEBAS: I came to look for him.
What?
VICTORIA: Come on! I don't know you.
I just know that you were expelled from fourteen schools,
your mom is a badass, and you think I'm a lesbian.
SEBAS: No, no, I don't...
VICTORIA: Oh, please! You can't get it out of your head!
Two girls kissing each other.
Doesn't that... turn men on? Guys are so basic.
SEBAS: Now you're talking like her.
VICTORIA: Like your mom?
VICTORIA: I can tell she's a genius.
SEBAS: She is.
She's a genius.
She studies all day long. She has two Masters, a PhD.
That's why I never see her.
VICTORIA: And your payback is jumping off the roof?
SEBAS: No.
That was an experiment. VICTORIA: An experiment?
SEBAS: Like your lobsters.
VICTORIA: Your mom works, she pays the bills,
and you get expelled from schools.
VICTORIA: You need to give her a break!
SEBAS: Right.
VICTORIA: [En Español] ¿Qué?
SEBAS: I think I'm gonna leave .
VICTORIA: That's it?
Really?
Come here.
VICTORIA: Close your eyes. SEBAS: Why?
VICTORIA: Close your eyes!
[Thud]
LUISA: What's wrong? HUERTA: I can't.
LUISA: What do you mean?
HUERTA: I'm sorry but I really can't. LUISA: Don't be scared, I won't bite.
HUERTA: Really, Doctor. I can't. LUISA: Doctor?
LUISA: Why are you calling me Doctor?
LUISA: Luisa.
My name is Luisa.
Why were you hitting on me back there? I don't get it.
[Hopeful guitar music]
HUERTA: [Over megaphone] Luisa.
HUERTA: Luisa.
LUISA: I don't even know your name.
But I think you have... a little problem with your mom.
You should seek help.
HUERTA: My mom passed away.
She gave us everything she could.
LUISA: So, what's wrong?
Why did you run away? Don't you like me?
You're not into women?
HUERTA: You always say what's on your mind.
LUISA: Of course, people think..
and so they must say what they're...
HUERTA: My name is Martin.
Martin Huerta Huerta.
And if I ran away it's because you've drank too much
and I was taught to respect women.
Do you have a problem with that?
You're gonna hurt, Doctor.
But it's too late to back down.
LUISA: Sebastian!
[Suspenseful music]
Sebastian?
[Screams] Sebastian!
[Music intensifies]
What are you doing?!
Why do you keep doing this to me?!
SEBAS: Where were you?
Where did you go, mom?
You left without telling me.
I looked for you everywhere.
Where did you go?
Why did you come back so late?
LUISA: I was... with...
SEBAS: I don't care who you were with.
That's your problem.
You can do whatever you want with your life.
Just let me know.
Leave me a note. You know how I felt?
LUISA: [Screams] What's that?!
LUISA: What's that?
SEBAS: We can go back. LUISA: Back where?
SEBAS: Home. LUISA: What?
LUISA: What about your dad? SEBAS: You'll lose the congress!
LUISA: What's that got to do with anything?
SEBAS: Five years of work, right?
If we don't go back, you'll lose it and blame it on me...
LUISA: We came all the way to see your dad.
SEBAS: I don't need to see him, I get it.
LUISA: I'm not sure what you got, but you got it wrong.
SEBAS: I don't matter to him.
LUISA: Of course you matter to him, sweetie.
SEBAS: I could go and live with grandma.
I can put up with the smell of formaldehyde
LUISA: Your dad loves you, Sebastian.
You're the best that ever happened to him.
LUISA: But life sometimes... SEBAS: Sucks!
LUISA: Yes, honey, it really does!
And people change. They stop understanding each other.
SEBAS: And they forget about you.
LUISA: No, they forget to pay for your tuition.
SEBAS: I don't wanna see him.
You jumped off that roof to change things.
To stop my obsession with work and realize how selfish I am...
SEBAS: [Cries] This is not about you!
He doesn't give a shit!
He would rather spend the day whale spotting.
He never answers the phone. Never remembers my birthday.
He has no clue of what's going on.
He never has money to come and see me.
It isn't normal!
LUISA: Sweetie, look at me.
I know that you're extremely intelligent
and I need you to understand what's happening.
You're terrified.
You've been thinking about this for years.
We are here now. You're gonna face it.
And I'll be right here, next to you.
SEBAS: Call him.
Tell him we're here.
If he doesn't pick up we forget about him.
LUISA: Okay.
Hey there! Do you have a phone I could borrow?
I need to make an urgent call.
WOMAN: Yes. LUISA: Thank you so much.
[Phone ringing]
LUISA: Pick up, pick up...
VOICEMAIL: Leave your message after the beep.
[Phone rings]
LUISA: Meche... What?
Okay, put him through. Yes, now.
Yes, I understand, you're completely right.
Yes, you're right, now please listen to me.
The congress will be there when I come back.
You and everyone else will have to wait.
Something very important has come up.
LUISA: Are you sure it's here?
SEBAS: It's here.
LUISA: It's gonna be alright.
[Distant harmonica music]
[Knocks on door]
[Music stops]
DAD: I'm coming, honey!
DAD: Sebastian.
WIFE: Enrique.
DAD: Help me with this stuff. LUISA:Let's go! We can drive you
Let's go! DAD: Breathe.

SEBAS: We need to fix the van. There is no signal here.
DAD: I know squat about engines. I got something!
They're on their way.
SEBAS: What's her name? DAD: Consuelo, like your grandma.
SEBAS: No, the lady. What's her name?
Pamela.
Pamela is my wife and the baby is your...
SEBAS: Sister. I know.
Well... now I know.
DAD: You came in a complicated moment, Sebas.
SEBAS: I'm right on time.
DAD: I know I haven't been there for you.
Dads are like...
like a magic trick.
That's it. We're mischievous sidekicks, we're a fantasy.
Cartoon heroes.
We all grow up thinking dads are giants
who will protect us from danger,
but one day you realize that...
All of that magic was nothing but a trick.
An artifice.
But what would life be without magic?
It's just a bore.
SEBAS: Why won't you answer my calls?
DAD: Because I'm not as brave as your mom.
SEBAS: Are you scared of me?
DAD: No.
I'm not scared.
It's just that your voice hurts me.
It hurts me a lot.
But now I can hear you closer. No interference.
SEBAS: What I miss the most is your music.
Listening together.
But...
If I need magic...
I know where to find it.
LUISA: She's beautiful.
What are you gonna name her?
PAMELA: Enrique wants to name her...
LUISA: Oh, no! Like my mother in law.
Sorry, ex mother in law.
WIFE: He has your eyes.
Sebastian has your eyes.
LUISA: Ah, yes.
WIFE: Enrique is always talking about him.
I think he struggles with it.
LUISA: [Whispers] Beautiful thing.
PAMELA: Do you want to hold her?
LUISA: You're gonna have to think of a name.
SEBAS: Victoria.
Her name will be Victoria.
DAD: This way!
[Loud engine]
LUISA: You know you're the best thing that
ever happened to me, right?
She's so cute, right? What if we kidnap her?
DAD: Let's go!
LUISA: I think this is as far as I go.
SEBAS: What?
LUISA: I'm not coming.
DAD: Luisa. We're in the middle of nowhere.
LUISA: You know where your home and your mom are.
You can come back whenever you want.
LUISA: Take care of him, or else!
Congratulations.
SEBAS: Mom!
SEBAS: Thank you.
