for the rest of my life, right?

What happens if tomorrow...

I have a relapse and my heart stops?

Or if I go blind

and can't see my kids' faces?

Or yours?

That's not going to happen.

We're the lucky ones.

I can't feel you, Inma.

- I can't feel your skin.

- Come here.

I'm here.

Okay?

I'm here.

I didn't meet my grandparents.

And I don't care.

You know why?

Because what's important for me

is to meet my grandchildren.

For the weak,

the future is the unattainable.

For cowards, it's the unknown.

For the brave, it's an opportunity.

Your company must show the world

its full potential.

It's strength.

And to do that you have us.

That's our campaign.

The campaign designed by our genius,

Ramn.

Are you okay?

Sirs, the...

The company...

Ramn, today we've been lucky.

Those are corticoids.

They'll help you

but you'll get swollen and tired.

Later on we'll try with a drug

comparable to amphetamines.

Just what I needed!

That's good, a sense of humor.

Isn't' there a comedy department?

No.

Well, yes, the payroll department.

Ramn, your body has rejected

the treatment.

We have to start with another one.

You'll receive it once

a month in hospital.

What am I going to do with my life now?

- Good morning.

- Hi.

It's still not visiting hours.

- I'm not visiting.

- Oh, sorry.

Do you have your card?

Perfect.

Okay, welcome, Ramn.

I'm Claudia.

Follow me.

Are you coming?

Yes.

All this is the walking area.

Here we have the standers that...

- Hi, Paula.

- Hi.

They help you stand up.

- Hi.

- Hi.

The tilt tables.

You'll be really happy here, Ramn.

And this is the treatment room.

Sclerotics, always moody.

Should I make a guess? Mario.

This is your place.

Welcome.

Foreigner.

Ramn, this is your monthly menu.

It won't agree with you,

the first few days you'll be...

F***ed up.

Thanks, Mario.

I'll come to insert the IV in a moment.

This is just the beginning.

You won't believe

how tired you'll be.

The good thing is

the amphetamines we get are good.

You've been lucky.

Most cases are diagnosed

before turning 30.

How old are you? Fifty?

Thirty-five.

Good luck getting as old

as you look.

Soon you'll feel you're 90.

Like that one.

- Or like this dick.

- Leave me alone.

And bring a book.

This guy is unbearable.

Shut up. You can't see a thing.

Look.

The best you can do

is get hold of a chair like this.

You'll end up in one anyway.

Steal it. What'll they do?

Go after you?

Not listening to this guy

is the best possible treatment.

If you give up like him

or you battle against the disease,

it'll win.

You know?

What you should do now

is understand it's your best enemy.

It's like having a bad

dance partner,

you just have to be careful

of not being stepped on.

You'll see that, in time, being careful

will lead to another perspective.

To a different way of living.

You're so boring with that crap.

What has the f***ing disease

taught you?

That you can't f***?

You'll see, in a year you won't be able

to walk a hundred meters.

It's the only certainty

in this f***ing multiple uncertainty.

Friends, I'm leaving.

And don't worry.

See you.

Ramn.

Ramn.

Hey, Ramn, what's up?

Hi, Marcos, it's Inma.

Hi, Inma.

I was thinking the guys from work

could cheer Ramn up

by going out with him one night.

He's been locked up for weeks.

Let's see if we can make it.

Inma, I have a huge respect for Ramn

and I couldn't stand seeing him

like the last time.

Maybe he needs to relax.

Tell him I'll call. But this week I can't.

Inma?

Inma? Did we get cut off?

No, we didn't.

I cut you off because

you're an a**hole.

And a worthless guy.

I don't know how to do this.

You'll make it.

You'll see.

Child.

Let's go.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

I think he looks like you.

I hope he's nothing like me.

I don't know how I'll be able

to hold my own son.

I can't even hold a toothbrush.

Hold your son.

I can't, Inma.

Do it.

Inma, no.

Inma, please.

I want you to hold your son.

He's falling asleep.

Ramn, I want you to hold him.

Inma, you can't do that.

- Inma.

- You chose to have children.

Your children didn't choose

a bitter father.

He's...

Sad and bored.

I'm worried about him.

He's sad and bored.

I'm worried about him.

I need you to take him out

and about.

I don't want to leave him alone.

I know you don't get along

but do it for me.

Okay.

Are you having one of those attacks?

No, I want to get the mug.

- Then say so!

- Sir, don't do it!

I want to do it alone.

But I have to tell my brain

to reach out with my arm,

then my hand,

and lastly my fingers.

And if I don't concentrate

the mug will be f***ed.

I don't know why

I explain anything.

Wouldn't it be easier to tell

the brain, "Pick up the mug"?

Pick up the mug.

Leave the mug.

We'll begin our divining round.

Have your credit cards at hand, and call.

You'll receive professional advice.

Visa in hand. Hello?

Manolo, can I get the remote?

The remote.

I'm watching this.

Pepita, I've been hexed,

please look into it.

I'm seeing your partner left.

Is that true?

It's true, Pepita.

Sir, did you know that's my chair?

Are you five years old?

Are you five years old?

A hundred meters isn't that far.

Sorry?

A hundred meters isn't that far.

Sure.

Hi.

- How are you?

- Fine. And you?

Great. Where's Ramn?

- I don't know. Ramn?

- Ramn!

- Where is he?

- I don't know, he was here.

Ramn!

Ramn!

Ramn!

Honey!

What happened?

Inma, I don't know what's wrong with me.

I can't walk!

- Do just like me.

- I don't know how to walk!

Do just like me. Your right leg.

Your right leg.

I just wanted to walk a hundred meters.

Why?

I told you not to leave my dad alone.

Are you never getting better?

What's up, big guy?

Will the same thing happen to me?

Come here.

You know all superheroes

have a weak spot.

For example,

Superman's is kryptonite.

Son Goku's is the tail.

- Remember which is Iron Man's?

- The heart.

That's why he has that light

in his armor, the reactor.

- That's right. High five.

- I'm too old for that.

What are you doing, you jerk?

Go back home or I'll get told off.

Everything's wrong since you got here.

Grab your tracksuit

and go back to your cave.

Look at yourself!

At that pace you'll never get rid of me!

This kid could overtake you crawling.

Are you going to faint?

Shut up, sir, you're worse

than this f***ing sclerosis.

Congratulations.

Why? Are you going back to your pigsty?

Yeah. I've already done

my hundred meters.

Call a taxi, father in law.

Don't stop, come on. Come on.

Don't stop, come on.

Another hundred meters, faster.

Faster.

Don't give up, come on.

There's no bowling match today?

No, I have to babysit a 35 year old.

Come on, faster.

Next week you're going back

to your own f***ing house.

All right.

And next week

I want you to be there.

Up there.

Come on, go on. Step by step.

- Dizzy, tough guy?

- Go f*** off now!
