Honey, I'm home.
Hey, sweetheart. Look, the kids are here.
Kids?
-Hey! -What's up?
Fuck me. Long time no see, dude.
Because you're two boring married guys.
You're just jealous.
Let's toast. Grab yourself a beer, man.
-Hey, Luis. -Go grab a beer.
Not today. I want to be fresh for my interview tomorrow.
You're being a buzzkill?
The one time we get to meet up?
Doesn't it bug you being jobless at our age?
-You have your savings, right? -Where's your sense of pride?
I don't know. I feel kind of deconstructed.
Everything's gone wrong since that damn course.
I don't think you got it.
Why don't we give Patrick a call?
-Get out of my house. -What?
At least let us finish our beers.
However hard you try, you won't get a job.
You've been canceled.
You dug your own grave with that virility course.
It was Daniela leaving him live on TV that finished him.
Don't mention Daniela. He's not over her yet.
You're the one who's still not over Luz.
At least I admit it!
I'm a man who owns his vulnerability.
Way to go, Raúl. Way to go.
ALPHA MALES
You didn't go to the store?
-When? -Mom!
-Go after you drop them off. -I can't today.
I told you already. I start work at eight.
I have exams in Móstoles.
-Mom? -What?
I just threw up.
That school's a real breeding ground for stomach bugs.
What are you doing?
It's mashed-up bread again. You're so gullible.
-Ulises. -Get to school and learn how to lie.
He doesn't want to go because Adri hits him.
Who's Adri?
Adri got held back a year and hits everyone.
-Well, hit back. -Esther.
-Why haven't you told the teacher? -What? That's social suicide.
Didn't you learn anything at school? There are rules, just like in jail.
Fighting violence with violence is called toxic masculinity.
Here we go. The deconstructed male.
You just behave and talk to Miss Erika. Okay, champ?
-I can't take them to school. -I'll pick them up this afternoon.
Love you all.
My head hurts, and I have a fever.
Ulises, listen to your mom.
If anyone messes with you at school, kick them in the shin.
What's a shin?
Aim here, and kick hard.
No holding back.
They'll leave you alone. You'll see.
Twelve-minute miles. I'm getting you in shape.
I know, right? I can tell I'm improving.
Good morning, sweetie.
-You coming to shower? -No. You go first.
-I'm gonna do some stretches. -Okay.
Dad, I owe you an apology.
I thought you were emotionally inept, but it seems you can forgive.
It's great to see Mom so happy.
I can't stand her.
-I don't love her. I messed up. -What do you mean?
Your ten-body theory works. It's your fault.
-So why are you together? -I don't know. I just…
Can't you tell I'm not well?
You're always like this. Worrywart's your middle name.
No, I just… I feel empty, you know?
Like a really bad person. Really bad.
It even feels awkward making love to her.
-So what are you going to do? -Well… Leave her?
You're shitting me. She's so calm right now.
So what do I do? I can't live like this.
You don't do breakups well. The last one tried to run you over.
-And she was nice. -Just one thing.
Don't make me move again, okay?
Santi, there's no shower gel.
Shit. She wants sex.
Go give the gel to her. Go on.
Oh my God. You're gonna screw this up.
So tell me what to do. Give me an idea.
Open wide, Bosco. I can't see the cavity.
Alfonso. Hi.
Jeez, Santi. I'm in the middle of a filling.
Sure. I'll be quick.
Blanca really misses you. And she regrets leaving you.
I left her.
Right. She's sorry for everything she did that made you want to leave her.
She wants to give you another… She wants you to give her another chance.
Hold this, kid.
Over my dead body. I've blocked her everywhere she can be blocked.
I feel for you, man.
Thank God we're free of that crazy bitch.
"Crazy bitch" is a little sexist.
Call me, and I'll whiten those teeth.
Pedro. Ángela. How's it going?
Yes. Hi.
You're that virility course guy, right?
Ma'am, it's noon.
Leave me alone.
You have the fitting for the Influencer Awards.
Move it to tomorrow. And bring me a chocolate pastry.
Are you sure? You still have that eco-friendly bikini campaign.
Are you trying to tell me something, Patricia?
No. I'll go get it.
Let me sleep. You're annoying me.
You have your book signing at six.
Damn book.
It's called a deconstructed croquette
because that sounds cooler and more modern.
It's not deconstructed. You mashed it.
Shut up. This isn't a croquette anymore. It's become something else.
It's lost the essence of a croquette.
-That's just how I feel. -Tastes the same to me.
-Guys, they hired me. -What?
A production company.
-I'm the new head of fiction. -Holy shit!
And I have an awesome boss who doesn't care about my past.
-Way to go, champ! -Right on!
We don't have to worry about the mortgage anymore, honey.
I…
I want to leave Blanca.
You're kidding.
I told you. You owe me 20 bucks each.
-You bet on my relationship? -Hang on for a year and I win.
What are you gonna tell her?
She'll kill you.
How did Luz break up with you?
-Come on, bud. -Just to get some ideas.
Luz didn't leave me.
We agreed, both of us, to take a break.
Don't say anything. Move out secretly, and then leave her.
-Why do I always have to move out? -She won't.
-There's room at Pedro's. -Balls.
-Patriarch. -Starting that again?
"Unleash Your Inner Goddess."
Hey, your little cutie wrote a bestseller and is doing a book signing today.
Get it together. I'm not supporting you.
For one, I'm not sleeping with you.
Patriarch.
Why can't I be a househusband?
It's a dignified job. It should be paid.
Tell him about the croquette.
Open a new restaurant. The one next door's available.
I've just realized that I don't actually like working.
Right.
When I get back with Luz, I'll move out.
What?
She'll fall for me again.
The falling in love again thing doesn't just happen.
It's not like belching. It's intentional.
I don't think Luz is too into the idea of getting back with you.
She will be. It's just a matter of time.
Anyone want anything?
When are you gonna tell him Luz is with a guy?
You want Esther to kill me?
Shit! The kids.
Where are you going?
He's so cute. He wants to take me kiteboarding in Mauritius.
But it's best not to make plans until his divorce is finalized.
You have access to rich, divorced men, and I get teens with zits.
I'm in the wrong job.
How's the open relationship going? Met anyone?
When exactly? I have no life.
-What about Luis? -I don't know.
-I told him not to tell me. -Why? That's what makes it fun.
He's too busy to go shopping, let alone have an affair.
If I press this, the car brakes, right?
Jesus, Luz!
Sorry.
DISGUSTING TEACHER
"Disgusting teach…"
Erika, how are you?
Ulises kicked Adri in the shin.
Whoa.
That must have hurt.
We told him to talk to you if anyone messed with him.
Well, he didn't listen.
Come on. He was just defending himself.
If Adri kicked him, well, what goes around comes around, right?
We have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to gender-based violence.
-Gender-based violence? -He only hit Adrián.
Adriana.
No. Adri, short for Adrián.
Adri, short for Adriana.
You've really helped me.
Since I started your morning routine, I'm a new person.
I feel more like me.
That's great, Claudia.
The only thing is, I don't like matcha. I drink chai.
That counts.
And I bought the cellular rebirth antioxidant serum that you promoted.
-But it didn't work. -Claudia, if you don't mind.
Sorry.
UNLEASH YOUR INNER GODDESS
What's your name?
I LOVE YOU. COME BACK TO ME.
You didn't leave space for me to sign, Pedro.
-Can we meet up one day just to talk? -I'd rather not be seen with you.
You screwed up my courses by humiliating me on TV.
Is that why you came? To blame me?
No. To see how you're doing.
Great. Look at the line.
-I'm doing great too. I got a new job. -That's great.
-Okay. -Right, then.
What's your name?
Carlota.
I did that cryolipolysis treatment you said was magic,
but my cellulitis came back.
Hey, Luz. What a coincidence.
That's right. You work here.
You're this close to a restraining order.
I came to see you. But it's not what you think.
Really?
It's a legal matter. I'm opening another restaurant.
Congratulations.
I want you to do the paperwork for me. Since when do you have a scooter?
I did your paperwork because we were a couple.
That's another option. We could get back together.
Bye.
So don't help me as a girlfriend. Help me as a friend.
Since when are we friends?
Since now?
Have you registered the business name?
No. I'm still thinking about it.
-You have financing? -Yes.
That's all set. I have an investor.
Another restaurant, son?
You said the industry was crap.
I was burned out, Dad.
But this break has allowed me to reinvent myself.
Doesn't reinventing imply doing something different?
So will you lend me 50 grand or not?
-Do you like this house, honey? -Sign here.
It has two bedrooms. It's right next to your school.
I already gave the go-ahead.
We're moving tomorrow. Secretly.
While your mom's at her self-awareness course.
What did I just sign?
Permission for me to work as a minor. We're moving?
First, we move. And then I leave her. What do you mean, work?
-Dad, you need to talk to her. -Work where?
Not serving drinks?
You're getting revenge on Mom for Alfonso.
No.
It's not revenge. I don't know what it is, to be honest.
Why do guys take being dumped so badly?
Honey, whose side are you on?
Guys, up for pizza and a movie?
Awesome plan. Yes.
I'll go get ready.
Don't look at me like that. No.
I'm being nice. It's her turn to leave.
Iris is such a good girl. We should have just had girls.
What's this damn obsession with unisex names?
Why don't they just call her Adriana?
How much time do you save shortening a name by three letters?
You say it. "Adriana."
Esther, this is serious. We're raising a potential abuser.
Come on.
What if I call Patrick? Maybe he runs deconstruction courses for kids.
I'm not letting anyone deconstruct my boy.
Stop torturing him. I told him off, and he's sorry.
-Come on. -Whatever. I'm going to talk to him.
Right now?
It's late.
I kicked her really hard, like this.
She cried loads and went running off.
Didn't you feel sorry?
Me? Why?
He made her bleed.
What?
Son, it's not okay to kick people.
Especially girls.
Why? Adri doesn't pick on me now.
Okay, but there's a physical difference between boys and girls.
We're stronger. We can do more damage.
Mom told me to do it.
What?
Esther.
Did you tell our son to kick Adri in the shin?
-I was asleep. -I saw you running down the hall.
Okay, yes. My bad.
I thought Adri was a boy, okay?
Boy or girl, I don't care. Violence is never an option.
-I disagree. -Tell Ulises to apologize to her.
-Adri started it. -If he gets expelled, it's on you!
Fine. Tomorrow I'll tell him to say sorry to the girl.
We need to be on the same page for these things.
Ulises can't grow up a sexist.
That course did a number on you.
-We have whiteboards, you know? -I like mine.
-It's spawned some great shows. -Like Bad Bitch?
People didn't get the irony.
Pedro, I'm well aware that your projects are a little sexist,
almost misogynistic.
No. I'm not a sexist pig anymore.
I did a course on deconstructing masculinity.
Nah. De-deconstruct yourself.
I want our projects to have a counterpoint.
They can be feminist, fine. But not preachy.
So I'm here to play the male chauvinist?
I'll introduce you to your team. Come on.
-What about a rural drama? -Please. Not another melodrama.
Ali, Olga, Bea, this is Pedro Aguilar, our new head of fiction.
Good luck.
So, how's it going, girls?
What are you working on?
It's just, I…
I really don't… I can't…
I'm trying to deconstruct myself, and my wife tells my son
to go through life beating the crap out of people.
-Luis. -What society are we creating?
We're going backwards.
Teens are denying gender-based violence.
-Of course. -Brother.
If we educate this generation like this,
they'll end up…
Julián, the car. Julián!
Her? Shit.
Right.
Hi. How's it going?
You must be Adri's mom, right?
And you must be the mother of this abuser.
Ulises is really sorry, and he wants to apologize to your daughter. Right?
-No. -Ulises!
We don't accept apologies from people who perpetuate gender-based violence.
Gender-based violence?
Your whale of a daughter is a foot taller than my boy.
You called her a whale?
-You called Ulises an abuser. -I did.
Abusers exist because of the shitty way mothers like you raise them.
They're operating on him. They said the first 24 hours are crucial.
Have you spoken to him?
Go home, Luis.
-There's nothing you can do here. -But it's…
Call me as soon as you know anything.
Of course.
-Esther. -Hi, Dad.
Iris, honey, are you okay?
Mom just kicked Adri's mom in the shin outside school.
What?
She dropped her phone during the fight, and the screen broke.
-She's coming! -Put your Mom on. Iris!
Raúl, not now.
Dude, eight o'clock, party at my house. I mean, Pedro's house.
A party for what?
To celebrate life, goddammit. Everything's going so great.
Yeah, sure. Amazing.
I'm just saying that we should be careful with stories of female revenge
to avoid stereotypes.
-Look, she's been raped. -Without revenge, there's no show.
Sure, but the characters are one-dimensional.
Isn't making the rapist an asshole stereotypical?
-Excuse me? -Why does he rape?
Because he's an asshole.
-Because he's a man. -Yes, okay. He's a dick.
But why is he such a dick?
For example… I don't know.
Maybe because…
Because his grandfather abused him as a kid.
That's a classic. The pedo granddad. Like in Heidi.
And why not his grandma?
Grandmas don't rape. They bake cookies.
Isn't that a stereotype?
We've been working on this for months.
We pitch it to the platform tomorrow.
It's too green. We need to think it over.
The night is young. Do you like sushi?
Yeah, right. Come on.
You think it over all you like. I'm going home.
Have you not heard of work-life balance?
I would stay, but if they're going…
Sisterhood.
Pedro, how's it going? Did you get along all right?
Yes. They have… potential.
You're going to love it here. You'll see.
Hey, Pedro. Roberto from payroll.
Another guy, at last.
We needed more pencils here. This place is full of pencil sharpeners.
Excuse me?
This company is like a fig orchard.
Fancy a drink? I'll fill you in on who isn't a lesbo.
-I'm very busy, Roberto. Next time. -Sure.
-Whenever you want, Peter. -Pedro.
Pedro.
Hey! Been a long time, man.
How's it going, darling?
What an amazing house.
-I don't know how… -How many drinks have you had, girl?
Excuse me.
-Santiago. Excuse me. -Excuse me.
-Why did you invite Diego? -You said I could invite anyone.
I meant girls. Did I need to explain?
I don't know any girls.
-What about the Tinder ones? -All here together? Are you nuts?
-Where have you been? -At the hospital.
Julián had a heart attack.
-Sure. -If you answered your phone…
How did it happen? Chasing a criminal?
No. He was sitting in the patrol car.
He'd just had a coffee.
So if he dies, they'll say it was in the line of duty and make him a hero.
"If he dies"? He's younger than me.
-Come have some wine. -Young people die too.
Your mom's looking after the kids.
What…
Honey, did you kick Adri's mom
outside school in front of all the other parents?
Did Erika call you?
No. Iris had your phone, which, by the way…
How many screens do you plan on breaking this year?
It was self-defense. I was defending your son.
It was recorded. There are videos in the school chat.
-What? -You don't read the messages.
Ulises doesn't need that deconstruction course.
-You do. -Are you calling me a tomboy?
No, I'm saying you're suffering from toxic masculinity.
How about we try not to fight, okay? Let's drink.
What the fuck?
-Did you bring ice? -Ice?
-I left you a message. -What the hell is this? I have to work.
We have to celebrate our success.
You got a job. I'm opening a restaurant and getting back with Luz.
Raúl, she's seeing someone else.
-Who? -Luz.
-My Luz? -She's not your Luz anymore.
Wise up. You're making a fool of yourself.
But it's harder for you guys to find love than it is for us heterosexuals, right?
I mean, with the whole darkroom thing and stuff.
Some of the magic is lost.
-I wouldn't know. I've never been to one. -No?
No. I think they're revolting.
Right.
I thought it was a kind of gay initiation rite.
No. You don't have to take a test.
You go to the Ministry of Equality, pay the fee, and you're a certified gay.
A fee? Excuse me.
Excuse me a second. Shit.
-Luz is seeing someone? -What?
-Pedro told me. -No idea. Blanca's calling.
Santi, yes or no?
Luis is in charge of the whole Luz thing.
Hey, honey.
The guy from the moving company is here to give us a quote.
What move?
Dad, tell her the truth.
Santiago, what's going on?
-Does the table come apart? -Shush!
No, listen. I was going to tell you everything today.
When I get home--
Where are you?
I'm doing a valuation in San Chinarro.
At a party at Pedro's house.
Are you partying with our friends without me?
No. Blanca.
Fuck.
-Why did you tell Raúl about Luz? -It was Pedro.
Paco, what are you doing at my house?
-We said Wednesday. -That's today.
-How'd you hear she's with a guy? -Esther.
-Shut up. -He knows already. Paco!
-They still talk? -What do you want me to do?
-Who is he? -I swear I don't know anything else.
-Ask Esther. -No, she'll kill me.
Hey, you fill my house with people, then leave me on my own?
-Listen. Just one thing. -Raúl, wait!
Can I sleep here tonight?
Pedro, please. Damn it, my phone.
Oh, the little snitch is calling. What?
Mom's on her way.
Tell her not to come.
She already left. I'm telling you so you know I still love you.
Luz, I just found out you're seeing someone else.
That's not what hurts. What hurts is that you lied to me.
How sad we can't even be friends.
It's fine. I'll clean it up.
Sir.
Patricia! Thank God you're back. Here. Someone broke a glass.
No. I came to talk about Miss Daniela.
She's not well. Depressed, irritable. I think she has burnout syndrome.
-What? -I looked it up online.
Chronic work-related stress that causes generalized exhaustion.
Why are you telling me this, Patricia?
Tell her to read her own book and unleash her inner goddess.
I know you both still love each other. Give love a chance.
How are things with Luz?
Luz and I are over. Screw her.
I'm gonna focus more on my career now.
Didn't you sell the restaurant?
I didn't. She sold it for a euro. But I'm opening another one.
I've got half the cash. My parents lent it to me.
It's all very sad.
Looking for a business partner?
Do you know someone who'd like to invest in my… gastrotheque?
Tell me about it. I might be interested.
-Why did you tell Luis I'm with a guy? -We have nothing to talk about.
Your life's way more interesting than ours.
Just what I needed, a pissed Raúl.
I told him not to tell him.
Your husband's a blabbermouth. I won't tell you anything again.
Luis!
Yes, a heart attack. And he's younger than me.
We just have to enjoy life.
Like you guys do. No kids, no commitments--
Why did you have to go and tell Raúl?
I didn't say anything. It was Santi.
-Why tell Santi? -It was Pedro.
Because I thought I could trust him. I mean, trust them.
So you told them both. Well done, Luis.
-We'll talk at home. -But…
Why is she always the one who gets upset?
I can't do this anymore.
Blanca's here.
Now? Fuck. Tell her I left.
-She's right there. -Where?
Blanca, I'm glad you came because… we need to talk.
You don't say.
Yes, it's just that I think…
I mean, I don't know what you think, but the thing is…
With you and me, there's something not…
I mean, I think that…
I think we might have rushed into getting back together so soon.
If we give it a little time…
So you're leaving me?
Well, leaving…
Just for a bit. A little…
I mean, if you agree and…
Okay.
I understand.
Really?
Yes.
But you don't have to move out this time.
It's my turn, right?
But I need you to give me time to find a place.
Sure.
Yes, of course.
Come here.
No.
Hey!
No, Blanca. You're handling it so well.
You were doing so well. Blanca, wait.
Getting back together to then break up.
That vengeful spirit is very sexist.
You have no idea.
Are you hungry? There are croissants with salmon…
Leave me alone, please.
…and avocado.
No, I don't trust Diego as a business partner.
He might have a hidden motive.
Look on the bright side. You can't screw things up by fucking his wife.
Would you go home already? I'm trying to humanize a rapist here.
New job's going well, yeah?
Not really. It's all women and a guy who's a pain in the ass.
Really? Got any pics?
Not your type. They're scriptwriters.
Have you guys realized that we're halfway through life?
And what's left is not the good half.
I don't think now is the time to get depressed.
Raúl, I won't forgive you for this party. A couple were banging in my bathroom.
-Esther and Luis made up in your bed. -What? When?
At Ulises's birthday party.
The hide-and-seek winner caught us.
That's fucking disgusting, man.
Life is so absurd.
Come on. Be happy.
Who's coming for a swim?
Come on. We'll do it this time.
Let's do it.
Hey!
The jackass jumped in again.
Really, you jerks?
Come on. Help me clean up.
You need a maid. The place is filthy.
Isn't that sexist?
I'm going to do some laps. It's good for the heart.
