RED SEA SAUDI ARABIA
Who's the most famous person that you know?
Mom.
Dad.
Cris.
They're starting to be aware
that Mom and Dad are famous.
Well, that Dad is very famous.
But that Mom, as a result, is famous too.
-Mom's more famous than Dad? -Yes.
-No. -Yes.
-Dad is more famous. -Can I sit here with you?
-Yes? In the world? -No, not in the world.
Often my kids say to me,
"Mom, why do people ask you for so many photos?"
"Because I'm Dad's girlfriend." "Why 'cause you're Dad's girlfriend?"
I say, "Well, sweetie, because I'm pretty."
They say, "I'm pretty too, and they don't ask me for photos."
You know who I think is most famous?
-Yes. -You.
You've said, "No chocolate. It makes Dad angry."
And now I eat chocolate!
The "best of" questions now. To finish up.
Me!
Who's smartest?
-Mateo. -Mateo.
What a show-off, huh?
Best looking?
Dad.
No.
Yes, it was Dad.
Who's prettiest?
-Mom. -Mom.
Who's the smallest?
-Bella. -Bella.
You're so crazy, huh?
Who's going to be a gymnast and can compete to win gold?
-Eva. -I'm not going to be that.
You don't want to, but you could.
The teacher said he'd prep her to compete. You're very talented.
Okay, who talks the most?
Alana.
-What do you want to be when you grow up? -Nothing. I'll stay at home and chill.
Nothing?
You have to work, love.
But what will I do? I don't know what I'll do.
I think…
What do you think?
-You can be an actress. -No!
-What are you doing? -A Netflix producer.
Yes!
-I want to do that. -For Netflix.
Well, now they want to… "be Netflix."
"What do you want to be?" "I wanna be Netflix."
Bye, Netflix! We'll see you in Spain.
I AM GEORGINA
RIYADH SAUDI ARABIA
I'm taking it off.
Do you want a ponytail?
-I want a bun. -Like me?
-Again? -But, anyway…
I have… some lip balm.
Like a clear lip balm.
All set, love.
I always remind my kids how lucky they are.
Let's go, Mateo!
Mom, why don't you be quiet?
So annoying.
Mateo, handsome.
Goal-scorer.
Any country we go to, they attend the best schools.
-Up! -Alana, lift your body, girl!
They have very new facilities.
I try to drill into them that they're very lucky.
That I, whenever I swam as a kid,
had to go to the Jaca sports center, which was cold as balls
in the winter.
Loaded up with my backpack, a dryer, a towel…
And they don't…
They have their pools. Everything. They're so lucky.
Cris!
Why are you acting all cocky?
He always acts so cocky, man.
We're so proud of the path that Junior is taking.
And, plus, God has given him the best skills
and great genetics for playing football.
And Cristiano's help too.
-What's up? -I'm tired.
Tired?
A bit.
Did you go to bed late?
No, I didn't go to bed late, but I woke up early.
Why early? Because of the wind?
That too, but it was because Mateo woke me up.
You got up early?
-Yeah. -How was it? Good?
-I mean… -I like it.
Cris always makes the most of any time he has with Junior.
He's always giving him advice on all aspects of life.
What are you gonna do?
Mat exercises.
How long?
Weight training.
Five exercises, mat.
-How long? -An hour.
And on the mat?
Same thing.
It's three series of two minutes. Six in total.
You do two minutes…
We'll do it simultaneously. You on the treadmill and me next to it.
Two, rest, two more.
Rest 15 seconds and two more minutes.
Two minutes in a row?
Running?
He's on top of the kid every day so he doesn't fail.
He advises him when it comes to doing strength training at home.
Tricks he's used since childhood.
I'm amazed by it.
You'll see now.
Come on. Let's go.
Now.
One, two, more, three…
Let's go, four. There. One…
Junior is so lucky to be able to have his father
to give him the tips that he has discovered over the years.
Nobody taught him.
That's it. Good, very good.
Mommy loves you, sweetheart.
What about going to school an hour later tomorrow?
'Cause I'm very tired. That way I'll be ready for school tomorrow.
I didn't sleep well. Just an hour.
-Okay, no. -Okay?
Junior's innocence is wonderful.
Right now he's at that age between being a child and a teenager.
The first class we have is swimming.
And I have nose allergies. My nose is…
The teacher told me you're the best swimmer…
-Me? -…and he needs you to go first.
But I have an allergy in my nose.
-Sweetie… No. -I don't feel good.
-Just an hour later. -It's just tomorrow and the next day.
Then you have training and almost no classes.
But I have exams the day after.
If I don't go tomorrow, I'll study an hour at home.
Yeah, sure.
Gosh, he's 13. It's true that 13 now isn't like 13 was for me,
but we're still…
working to make him a sporty kid,
dedicated to his studies, responsible, polite.
They just emailed. Tomorrow I start an hour later.
Yeah? Let's see if they sent me the same thing.
I'll go look now.
Faker.
Look.
Yes, that's exactly right.
You have to go an hour early!
Let's go have dinner.
For me to go swimming, I had to walk across town
to reach the sports center.
You're fortunate.
I'll bring you to a really old school.
So you see what it's like to study in those schools.
But there, if you do something bad, they don't email your parents or do they?
They hit you with a ruler, which is worse.
I try, daily, to remind them
that they're very lucky so they appreciate it.
We've touched down in Venice!
VENICE ITALY
Did you put the wig on well or not?
As soon as this starts up, it'll fly off.
-What do you mean? -It'll fly off.
-It'll go…? -Right away. I'm telling you.
It'll be awesome!
-I hope it flies off. -"I hope it flies off"… Asshole.
-How cool to be back in Venice. -This city is so romantic. I love it.
Remember your first year in Madrid?
You were on the Gran Vía
and a woman came up to you
and said she was a scout and wanted you to be a model.
-Yes. -That didn't go anywhere?
Because when I was working, I couldn't go to castings.
That's true. You had to pay rent…
-And look at you now. The face… -Just in from Turin.
…of the Guess campaign.
-Yes. -And we're gonna see you, right?
Yes, we're on our way to see me now.
How cool. How exciting.
On the trip from the airport to the hotel,
I saw myself on a giant scale in my super Guess campaign.
Georgina!
Look at it!
You look so beautiful.
-Amazing. -A mannequin.
Seeing myself there was another dream come true.
-My sister! -Look how beautiful!
Who could have told you you'd be here?
Ramón gave me an exclusive scoop.
He said I'm gonna do the next Guess campaign
and I still have mine here.
Professionally, Gio is at a high point in her career.
AGENT, ANGELS PROJECT
Not locally, but internationally.
And, honestly, she's a woman
who makes things fashionable.
A wasp.
If you don't kill it, it's the kind that stings.
-Don't kill it. It'll go. -Kill it.
-La Ivana. -Ah! It's flying.
-Get it. -Careful, Ivana.
Don't kill it!
It'll sting.
It's behind you.
-Jerk! -Don't close it.
-No, Ramón! -Now you deal with it.
We're all messed up here.
You know this city is going to disappear?
-Yeah. -But they'll do something.
But within 20 years, we're all going to disappear.
-No! -Yes!
-Will the world end? -Yes.
-Yes, it's written in Revelations. -2050 is the end of the world.
I really think one day cracks will open up or something,
and the world will… Clack!
And fire will come out, and we'll all die, or who knows?
Or we'll get a ship to take us to another world.
Luckily, we can go live on Mars.
-Yes. -Where'd you get that?
-They're researching it now. -To the moon.
They're researching on Mars.
Maybe there's life, but what do I know?
We'll be around to see it in 2030, 2040.
I think it won't be far off, this end of the world.
We'll see when it comes.
A spaceship went to the moon and collected water.
-Moon water? -From India. I swear.
-Look it up. -India?
Plus, I was watching in Arabic, and I figured it out.
We're cultured and educated.
Hey. I'm cultured because…
I'm a citizen of the world. I've traveled.
"And I watch the news in Arabic."
And I watch the news in Arabic and understand it. It's hard.
Who can say they watch the news in Arabic?
-Few people. -La Gio.
Hi.
-Hi, amore. Hey. -Hi, amore.
JEWELRY DESIGNER
-How are you? -Good.
Bene.
-And you? -Bene.
Everything is so bello. How bellissimo.
It's two years ago today that I met Serpiente.
-Wow! What an experience. -I saw, yeah.
A singing and dancing audition to hire me as a hairstylist.
I was in Madrid that day, and Fer came to me
and said, "Hey, I'm going to Venice with Georgina."
He said, "You want to come?" I said, "Okay, yeah."
We arrived and I was freaking out because I said,
"That girl is gorgeous." That was my first impression.
So wild. I remember when you came in.
I said, "I'm sure she's made up to the gills."
Because when I saw your skin…
And when I wiped it, I said, "She's not wearing any makeup."
"That's her face."
When you go to put on makeup, we're like the Kinder egg. Surprise!
Right, surprise.
For real. You were incredible.
No gimmicks.
She's someone who, from the moment she meets you,
she opens up her home to you, brings you into her life…
She trusts and supports you.
This year when I started prepping for the Venice Film Festival,
I thought of my friend Guram, the Vetements designer.
Like last year, when my mood was inspired
by Breakfast at Tiffany's,
this year my inspiration was Julia Roberts.
She's a woman who surprises. She's a woman who observes.
She is curious. It's not just a look, you know?
"I put on a dress and voilà. It has a story and inspiration."
And this had exactly that, no?
This necklace is impressive, huh?
This is…
No touching!
That's also why they want her. Because she goes viral.
She shows up in international media outlets.
And, ultimately, what brands look for is visibility.
GEORGINA SHINES IN VENICE
SPEECHLESS AT GEORGINA'S PRETTY WOMAN LOOK AT THE VENICE FESTIVAL
What, my love?
-You're coming? -Yes. We're headed to the plane.
-I love you. -Did you go away?
We went away, but we're headed home, okay?
She could retire and do nothing but look after her kids
or do whatever she wanted.
Where did you go?
To do some photos. I'll show you them later.
But also,
with her background,
she wants to give her kids a good work ethic,
and it's something they understand and respect her for.
MADRID SPAIN
I'm in Madrid to star in my second campaign for Guess
in an amazing location.
You're incredibly beautiful.
-Open or not yet? -No. Well, yes, open them.
Wow.
Like Monica Bellucci, stupendous!
HAIR STYLIST
Damn, I don't look like me, huh?
-The blonde looks good on me, huh? -Yes.
She's lovely. She looks like a girl.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
-Hello, good morning. -Good day.
-What's up? How are you? -Look, it's your dream come true.
-So good! So gorgeous! -Right?
I love it. It brightens you up a lot.
-And younger, right? -Yes.
Less Azúcar Moreno.
-Sorry, I'm a bit late. It's just that… -Honey.
I had to get my hair cut. I haven't had time.
-Well, you look great. -Yeah? You look great too.
True, it's bad form for her to arrive before me.
But she forgives me.
How cool, huh? Our second Guess campaign.
-You excited or not? -Hm.
The photographer is the one who shot J-Lo's last one.
She'll take great photos that'll come out fabulous.
I brought you a gift. Let's see if you like it.
-For your birthday. -So I haven't behaved that badly, huh?
-You never behave well. -What could this be?
Something you need, for sure.
-That I need? -To hustle. Open it that way.
Oh, perfect. How cool.
Honestly, I'm using a pretty old one, huh?
How great. I love it.
-Thanks so much. -You're welcome.
I had my computer
and hadn't realized it was ten years old.
So, it's good.
But it's a poisoned chalice because she gifted me a computer
so I'll work more.
So, anyway… But I'm grateful.
Since I've made you work so much,
I've brought you a woman from Thailand to give you a foot massage.
I don't know if there's time, but come in.
Ani, come in!
Hello. Hi.
You'll see. With this, I can give you another week of ten campaigns in a row.
I'd prefer the hands.
All of a sudden, we had competing gifts
because he'd surprised me with a massage therapist.
I'm relaxing already.
Let's see if I fall asleep.
You relax.
If I relax too much, I'll have to go take photos like this.
We'll keep Ani on the payroll.
I had a knot in my finger, and she fixed it.
She had great energy.
Sorry to interrupt, but we have to get going.
We'll continue later. I'm going to take photos.
Look, Georgina, Paul is here. We'll go greet him.
FASHION DESIGNER
Thank you for the opportunity.
And I'm very happy
with the success of our campaign.
-No. -Worldwide.
Um… Her hair?
-Here it is. -Let's go. Come on. Get on with it.
For Georgina,
it's honestly been a way to present her to the world.
Paul Marciano, the owner of Guess,
is a well-respected man in the world of fashion
because he's managed to make his campaigns iconic.
"Pointer size," large. I can't see anymore.
"Decrease transparency"…
Ramón, I'm kicking you off the set again. We have to shoot here.
-You always like what's mine. -Sorry. Move your office over there.
Gosh darn it, I'm setting up the computer…
Sorry. You picked the spot that Paul likes, so…
-Well, okay. Because… -S'il vous plait.
My gosh. Well, I'll move more that way.
Sawadika.
Sit comfortably.
Comfortably. I don't know.
-Can you be further back? -This is like…
Fix this for me.
How are you?
-It's hard. -It's hard?
Well, girl…
Hey, this is the best gift, huh?
And it's moisturizing.
That's something I forget to do. Moisturize my feet.
Busy, are we, darling?
-You caught me. -That's what I call "work."
-I've got my computer. -I wanna be like you when I'm older.
What do I have to do?
Nothing. Find yourself a Georgina.
Ramón was lounging in a room getting a massage.
That made me doubt if the gift was for me or for him.
-How's it going? -Good. We're moving on to the fourth.
-Oh, great. -The fourth now.
Relax, Ramón. Don't worry. Stay there.
Don't stress yourself.
-I make contracts, okay? -Yes.
You have to be relaxed to confirm things.
"Use your fingerprint to unlock the Mac." Oh, geez.
"Place your finger."
Come on. I mean, this…
DUBAI UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Since moving to Saudi Arabia, we've been collecting awards.
We had to go to Dubai 'cause they were giving Cris three awards.
The next day, it was my turn to present at the Joy Awards.
RIYADH SAUDI ARABIA
Careful. You'll fall.
I'm backing up.
-Yes, that way. -Careful of the steps…
Who is it? Sandra?
-Are you okay? -Sandra, are you okay?
Did you trip or did they push you?
It's the second time I've been to the Joy Awards.
Last year, I did enjoy them, but I was very nervous.
I'd just come to Saudi Arabia.
-Say something. -We should have asked for a photo.
This year, I was able to enjoy it a lot
because I got to spend the gala with Eva Longoria.
ACTRESS
She's a ten, an amazing woman.
A super mom. A super wife.
And a super inspiring woman.
We have a lot in common.
-Dead. I'm not hungry… -Well, you can't tell. You look great.
Oh, man.
Is that the bag? Oh.
Okay. He's not interested.
Hear, hear!
-Did you see how it went? So cute! -Yes.
She was so nervous.
Look, here she comes!
Very good, right?
Georgina has called us
and told us we're going to the desert,
where she's been with Cris,
and that it's a spectacular place,
full of energy, and that we have to see it.
Good morning.
Who's this Spanish-speaking Arab?
Can't you see we're going to the desert? I've acclimated.
-Very good. -You like it?
-You never stop surprising me. -I have one for you.
-But, the…? -No, man. I'm joking.
You want to see?
It's true that I really like
to respect the traditions of the countries we visit.
My client Khaled gave it to me.
I said, "What perfect timing."
I'll surprise her early in the morning with my traditional Arab garb.
Poor thing. He hasn't slept.
It's like canaries, right? Or those birds that go like this.
AL-ULA SAUDI ARABIA
Al-Ula is such a magical place.
The first time I saw it with Cris,
we were afraid to talk and ruin the moment.
The silence.
Silence you don't find anywhere else.
The first time I came with Cris, I was spellbound looking at the rocks.
-It really is hypnotic. -Spellbound.
Gorgeous, honestly.
It's incredible.
It's like a place that absorbs all your energy
and gives it back to you, renewed.
-It's the most beautiful place I've been. -It's nature.
Yes. Look at the rocks. And I'm at home arranging onyx.
My mom's the same.
Her house is full of rocks.
I tell her, "Enough rocks."
"They hold lots of energy."
Yes, we're energy.
I'm a very spiritual person.
I'm guided a lot by vibes, by energies.
I feel like I'm very sensitive.
There are places with such good energy that relax me so much
it's like I'd submerged myself in a 40-degree Jacuzzi.
Welcome to my house.
-The house of Arabia. -Thanks.
This is exactly where we were.
At night, they lit a fire there.
I liked it so much that I said,
"I'll use a trip for my friends to visit me
to bring them."
I need to share all this with them too.
I still have to return with my kids.
-So peaceful, huh? -Hm.
This place is for not talking.
Don't break the silence if you won't improve it.
Nobody will improve it.
Nice and quiet.
The silence. That silence you don't find anywhere in the world.
Not even at home. You always hear something.
We had a lot of noise last night at the gala.
True. It was quite a commotion, huh?
But people come from all over Arabia, no?
-Not just from… -I think it's the Middle East.
The whole Middle East.
And Gloria Estefan. Well, well.
I freaked when I saw her. Like, "What?"
I didn't see her.
-Oh, because… -When you sat and I said, "Film this."
-Wasn't that her? -No…
-Gloria Gaynor. -How could it be Gloria Estefan?
Gloria Gaynor.
Of course, I'm like, "What is she saying?"
Of course I knew it was Gloria Gaynor.
That's why I told you yesterday,
"That woman. The wig… her hair? I didn't remember her like that."
You didn't think to tell me it wasn't her? Jerk.
I didn't understand. I said, "I don't know."
And me, "Don't break the silence…"
"Don't break the silence if you won't improve it."
"So Gloria Estefan yesterday."
So beautiful
-Did you see the size of the set? -Massive.
We can do those campaigns we've signed.
Yes.
We make them come here so we don't have to go there.
Right.
I was visiting Film AlUla.
So refreshing. So clean.
How it looks outside.
Did you see? I was with Cris a month ago.
No. Even the moon here.
At night in the desert, the stars are so bright.
It's really impressive.
You feel the power.
We've discovered that the best sets
are in Saudi Arabia.
And they make us travel so much to film outside of Saudi Arabia,
so the easier and more accessible it is,
and the less time it takes to get there, the better.
It really is impressive.
This is for filmmaking.
Yes, Ramón. Get me a film deal.
My wish is to make a movie in Al-Ula in that wonderful studio.
Queen of the Desert.
Tell you what.
If I don't identify with the product or whatever, I won't do it.
Right, and you also like to be loyal
to the brands we work with.
Aristotle said, "A friend to all is a friend to none."
I don't like people
who promote a thousand things that don't suit them.
Everything in its place.
Ramón makes me work a lot.
But he doesn't get everything he wants.
There are campaigns that, despite his insistence,
I don't identify with, and there's no giving in.
Guys, do you know this place is called Maraya?
Which means "mirror" in Arabic.
-Wow. -It's the world's biggest mirror.
Look at how she knows. How can you tell she's been here?
-Hey… -No, it's obvious.
Oh, so happy in Al-Ula. My gosh.
So gorgeous.
The energy makes you want to…
-To… -To what?
Gregorian chants. Okay, go.
Wherever I go, I always start singing.
I get to Al-Ula. I get to a shoot.
I get to Venice. I get to wherever, basically… and sing.
You feel it now.
Ciao, Maraya. I'm in love with this place.
Come on. Get in.
Let's go.
Greetings.
-This again? -I love it.
It doesn't look bad on you because you're good-looking.
But it gives you a potato head.
-Okay. -You're imposing.
No, because I want to get a photo with the… that.
Well, according to her, I looked like Mr. Potato.
But that's okay.
Greetings.
Hey!
It's pecking me.
How do I pose?
You're the influencer. Tell me.
Looking at your buddy, the bird.
The bird is happy with me, huh?
Yes, that's it. He likes you.
See? That's good, right?
Did you like your little animal?
-Yes, we'll see if… -They bring luck.
Look at Gio.
Gio hasn't been hiking…
Hey, excuse me. There are mountains in Jaca, okay?
-Well… -Don't get down!
I go to the Pyrenees too, to hunt for mushrooms.
Yes, mushrooms. In the meadow. Like Heidi.
-Oh, my God. -For real.
-Oh, Ramón. -Okay.
All those workouts.
-You all… can't even… Don't say a thing. -I'm already tired.
I'm super tired.
All of you, new year, new life. Now you're fit, not fat.
-Yes. -It did wonders for you.
-So pretty. -Then back to the hotel for a croissant.
Okay, hike done, guys!
-Congratulations! -All right!
Hey, you've warmed up and taken off your puffer. Very good.
Such beautiful houses.
-Yeah. -So simple.
-It's so romantic. I love it. -Yes, super cute.
Al-Ula is so well-preserved. We were walking around the village.
This is how they wanted to…
It's amazing how restored it is
and how well they've been able to preserve its origins.
-It's divine. -This is like the walk of fame.
-You have to leave handprints if you come. -Cool.
How cool. "Georgina Rodríguez."
Al-Ula has seen how much I love and admire beauty…
Look at my cat claws.
…that they wanted to honor me
with an impression of my hand that will stay forever
in the Old Town of Al-Ula.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
You give what you get.
You are what you give.
The moon…
Well, this is just too beautiful.
-Are you paying, Ramón? -This place has a Michelin star.
You're the rich one in the group.
Well…
-All right… -I'm gonna…
To Al-Ula.
And health and love in the world.
-We had a good time, right? -A great one.
-It was worth it. -My God. Yes.
You have to come here not with Serpiente, but with your partner.
Serpiente is always welcome with or without a partner…
My birthday is in a month and a half.
Cris will be in China. What do I want to do?
So, I organized a surprise trip for my friends.
-Yeah? -Tell you what.
There's a physical test.
We could do Squid Game. But no dying, obviously.
There's a problem. Soraya's worth two.
-Okay, but… -And you, half.
-I'll get in with Soraya and we'll… -Yes.
-I disappear. -And she flattens you.
You'll see.
And the trip is…
to…
the Maldives.
