- I'd like some milk, please.

Thank you.

- I'll pour myself some too.

- Sugar? One lump?

No, that's fine. Thanks.

- You're my dad's girlfriend.

- Yes.

Cool.

I thought he'd never find a girlfriend.

How come?

- Because my dad is special.

- Yes, he's special to me too.

I don't like it

when he doesn't keep his promises.

Have you seen

the fish tank back there?

It has sand, bubbles, but no fish.

He promised he'd buy

at least one, but he didn't.

- Do you have kids?

- No.

What do you do for fun then?

I don't have much fun.

You guys have fun

with your dad, don't you?

Yes, he's teaching me to play poker.

- Really?

- Yes.

My dad taught me to play poker

when I was your age.

Don't you love your dad's job

promoting shows?

He could work at an office, no?

But...

My dad doesn't promote shows.

He owns a travel agency,

which is actually a finance company.

But I think

he was considering changing jobs,

'cause he's into art and music.

Don't you keep any secrets?

Me?

Well, I sing.

Nobody knows that.

Will you sing to me until I fall asleep?

- Hey, what's up?

- I'm fine, and you?

Not too well.

I never told Gloria the truth.

The clock is ticking.

The Trova's show is

around the corner and...

I don't know what to do.

I'm at a loss. I'm blocked.

I don't know what to say to her.

Read this.

"Sheqer" and "Emet" in Hebrew are

"falsehood" and "truth".

"Aleph," "Mem," "Tav. "

"Aleph" is the first letter

of the alphabet.

"Mem" is the middle letter.

"Tav" is the last letter.

All in three are in one word, "truth. "

The whole journey of life.

The rabbi explained that to me.

Who explained it to you?

Deborah did.

- Who?

- My girlfriend.

You didn't tell me

you had a girlfriend.

You never told Gloria about your job.

You're ashamed of it and of me.

I did the same.

Where did you meet your girlfriend?

#- Come on, goatee!

#- We met in kindergarten.

She looks great now,

a bit chubbier, but grateful.

Germn, do you think

Gloria will understand

if I tell her the truth?

I think she will.

I'll tell her the truth

next time I see her.

"Gloria, I must confess two things. "

I'll tell her everything

when I see her.

Then right now.

Yes, next time I see her,

I'll tell her everything.

Precisely. Right now.

Hi!

- Hi.

- Hi, how are you?

Uriel, it's for you.

- Hi.

- Hey.

There's TV sets everywhere.

We have a closed circuit system.

No, is that you?

Yes, when I was 13.

With your dad.

Yes, and my parents

and my grandparents.

That's amazing!

- Here's The Trova.

- Yes, I've seen it.

It's not a good picture,

but I've grown fond of it.

What is this? Cool!

Does it count money?

It shuffles and counts cards.

- Do you count cards at work?

- In my spare time.

I'm curious.

How did you get here?

- Sarita told me.

- She did.

- What's your job really all about?

- Financial intermediation.

- What?

- Financial intermediation.

Is it a crime?

No, we have

a reserve bank authorization.

But money has a bad reputation.

No, not telling the truth

has a bad reputation.

- Are you mad at me?

- No. I'm not mad at you,

But I need to know that at least

something you say is true.

I was about to tell you.

When? The show is in two days.

Right now. I was talking to Germn.

We were talking

when she walked in?

I was going to tell you

about the company, The Trova...

There's the finance company,

but I'm thinking about The Trova.

- Silly me!

- The Trova thing is true.

- That's okay.

- I have the tickets.

I'm off. Bye, Germn!

See you!

- See you. Good luck.

- Hold on.

- Bye.

- I will explain.

I have this friend, a rabbi...

May I grab a cookie?

- I love these cookies.

- He's in this religious music group

called The Rabbi-ing Stones.

They'll be The Trova's opening act.

Called The Rabbi-ing Stones.

They'll be The Trova's opening act.

Those things count money?

- Careful with the bills.

- I could count money all day long.

And his friend from Rosario

is a rabbi too and he knows Garfunkel,

the manager of The Trova.

He got me the tickets.

- And the VIP passes.

- I can't believe it!

Yes.

Everything is true!

It's all for sure!

Everything's true!

#Another book to re-read...

#It's by Margaret Mead,

renowned American anthropologist.

#She reaches a surprising conclusion:

#She claims several psychological traits

#our society ascribes to female and male

behavior do not constitute

the product

of a biological determinism,

but derive from a

specific cultural structure.

Now, before we move on,

let's hear some music, please.

#Literary Geographies,

a tour around Susan Funes' library.

- Mom, will you come with me?

- Where to?

To Dad's house.

This was mine.

Why did you separate from Dad?

Well, I've wondered that many times.

I don't know yet.

I don't know...

I met your father

when I was very young,

I was in my senior year at high school.

He was fascinating.

He was a few years older than me.

He was experienced and strong.

Then I went to college

and pursued my career.

But he lagged behind.

What do you mean

by "he lagged behind"?

He didn't pursue his studies.

He just settled

for the family business.

That toy store you went to

on Pasteur Street.

The man who had dazzled me

faded away.

So, I left him.

Well, we separated.

He left, and you left with him.

I think he couldn't bear staying with me

because he was so fragile.

And you hated him

for being fragile, right?

I'd never thought of it that way,

but I guess I did.

I used to think you had to do

something important in your life.

But your dad just had a toy shop.

Sometimes I miss him.

I don't understand

why he left each of us one key.

Maybe so we would talk about him,

like we're doing right now.

Men love it

when people talk about them.

Keep them together or you'll lose them.

- Do you need help, Rafael?

- No, the intern will do the rest.

Do you need help?

I never asked your name.

- Felipe.

- Do you need help, Felipe?

- What's your internship about?

- Ask your mother.

- But what is it about?

- Languages, literature, books...

Life.

It's Monday.

We didn't set a place for you.

It's Monday. I won't eat here

and neither will she.

Try this on.

Where are we going?

- I want to show you a secret.

- Are you in a sect?

A sect of women in tracksuits.

- What do you do?

- What we love.

Can I take your picture?

Give me a second.

You had a good day,

finished in second place.

- Who finished first?

- That mysterious man.

He's unpredictable and scary.

Look at me, smile.

Good, give me a smile.

Excellent.

Germn, listen.

I have to get back to my table.

Do me a favor...

Take the kids to the show.

I'll be there right away.

I'll make it on time.

But you take them.

#Hello.

#Testing, hello...

He won't come.

No.

I'm in.

Ema, bring the boy.

He has to come with me.

- Can he pray before the show?

- Sure.

Let's go.

Pass.

All in.

I'll call.

Let's go.

Well-played. Good luck.

- Hey!

- Hello.
