Mom. I’ve finished, can I go now? Wait, someone is coming and we have to give them something I brought from the warehouse.
On a Sunday? We just left the warehouse, why couldn’t we meet there? You never stop complaining.
. . Sure.
. . (The doorbell righs) Who is it?
Oh, yes, your father told me you’d come to pick it up, come in. It’s the daughter of the doctor who operated your father. I told him he could come by to give him a little present for Christmas.
But he sent his daughter. So be nice to her. How am I going to treat her, mom?
I don’t know, you sometimes behave really weird. . .
(Knock on the door of the house) Come on, go and let her in. Lesbian Contact. Hi.
Hi. Can I come in? Ehm, yeah.
Hi, sweetheart. Come in, come in. This is my daughter Ana.
Hi, I’m Irene. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too.
I’m off for a second to get the little gift I have for your father. Ana, keep an eye on the food, make sure it doesn’t burn. Thank you very much.
Well. . .
what a coincidence, isn’t it? I promise I didn’t have anything to do with this. I called you yesterday and you didn’t answer.
I know, it’s just things have changed, Irene. It’s been 3 months, what’s changed? You left for Paris.
I already knew you were leaving when I met you, but you just can’t wait for me to go with you or stay here just waiting. Not knowing if you’re going to meet someone there or if you are going back to Silvia. Ana, you have to trust me.
Okay? (The mother is heard entering with some bags far away) Here’s the little gift for your father. Ok, thank you very much.
Ana, how’s the food going? Under control. Your father told me You’re studying medicine too.
I do. I’m sure you’ll be as good at it as he is. I wish my Ana would decide to study something.
Mom. . .
Don’t you want to study anything? She still has many fantasies in her head. She spends the day writing in her diary.
Mom! Maybe you have a writer at home. Sure.
. . She could study medicine like you and write recipes.
You should be friends. We should. Hi.
Hi. Let’s go? Yes.
I’m intrigued. I forgot to ask you if you can swim. It depends.
What do you mean it depends? If it is for swimming among sharks I don’t know even know how to float in the water. As far as I know there are no sharks in Málaga.
Well, or so I want to keep thinking when I swim this summer in the sea. There you go, I swim so much better in summer. Really.
. . I hope that we can swim together this summer.
Okay. . .
Do you think you’ll hold until then? Holding sounds awful. Right now I’m loving it here, but it’s not up to me.
It depends on your work? Yes. .
. That didn’t sound so convincing. I know, I’d rather talk about anything else.
Cool, I won’t have to tell you everything then. By the way, we've arrived. For real?
Yes. I love it! (Door knock on the bedroom door) Mom.
IRENE: No. . .
Hello. What are you doing here? How did you get in?
Through the door. Did my sister open the door? My mother’s home, what if she sees us?
Irene, are you listening to me? I didn’t imagine it this way. What do you mean?
No, don’t, don’t get comfy, Irene, let’s go. Come on, relax. It was your mother who let me in.
My mother? Yes your mother, get over with it. Relax, everything’s fine.
Irene, why are you here? Well, your mother wanted us to be friends, right? Well, I’m here.
No, you’re not. No, because my mother’s way clever than you and I together. She’s gonna know.
And what exactly is she gonna know? That you and I. .
. You and I. .
. you and I. .
. What’s going on with us, Ana? That we.
. . That we.
. . ?
We are alone in this room. There’s no one else. Exactly.
Stop resisting, Ana. Resisting what? This.
No, don’t, stop it. What’s going on? I don’t understand anything!
It’s just my mom. That’s not true, Ana. I feel you’re not being honest with me.
What’s wrong? Well, you and I didn’t promise anything. Ana, I wrote you a letter every week for the past 3 months.
And I told you things. Yes, but those were just words. And they mean nothing in the distance.
Fantastic. . .
So. . .
I’m with Marta. What? You heard it, I’m with Marta and this is not ok.
But. . .
I mean, that girl. . .
I know, I know, but. . .
I don’t know, we saw each other, we talked and it happened. And you have to respect it, Irene. Are you in love with her?
I’m sorry? Have you told her you love her yet? VOICE OVER: That’s the thing about stories that don’t close.
Every once in a while something unexpected shakes everything up and turns reality upside down. Even though there’s distance involved. Every Monday a new episode.
