Broken Embraces Page #6

go outside, please.

(Off lip reader)

"No lips"

"I've had a dreadful weekend".

"We haven't rehearsed so

you could have a rest!"

"Rest? I've had that son of a b*tch

the 48 hours!"

"He hasn't given me a second for a break,

the bastard. I'm on tranquilizers."

"No lips"

"No, no. I'll recover and do it."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course"

"You have to be sparking..., and light"

"Of course... Light... Light!"

You don't know what it is to have that

monster during 48 hours on you... Disgusting!

"Better not to imagine it.

Better if you and I never speak of Ernesto."

"That melon, better not to open it"

What is he doing with his notebooks?

I write on them until the end.

And afterwards?

I burn them.

If you don't mind, I

prefer if the notebooks slept here.

Notebooks sleep?

Leave them here. You'll recover them tomorrow

And when you've finished

I'll keep them.

Very good. Whatever you say.

At what time should I come tomorrow?

They will call you once the material is ready.

I assume that you are conscious

of the absolute confidenciality of your work.

Of course.

Bye.

Hi, Lena!

Hello...

My father asks me why I don't go to yoga

with you. I wonder the same.

Well, you tell him that I'm grown up and free

and that I've forbidden you to follow me.

You know I can't tell him that.

Try it. It wouldn't hurt you.

I can't.

Look, do what you want, but you

are not coming with me, ok? Really, how annoying!

Ernesto? What are you doing there!

Working!

Switch that off! Hasn't Mateo told you

not to film us outside the recording?

My father has told me to ignore it.

He wants to see everything.

You have no morals, none of you two!

Leave me alone for f***'s sake!

I'm reminding you that I'm filming this.

Stop, I'm telling you!

Stop it!

I'm telling you to stop!

Give me the f***ing camera!

You are crazy! Let go!

You are crazy! My camera!

Let it go for f***'s sake!

( )

(Door slamming)

Focus on me.

Ernesto, listen up.

Yes, I'm talking to you.

I've just been with the man I love, and

I'm happier than what I've been in my whole life

because that man also loves me....

a lot.

Don't worry, because I'm going to leave you

relax, very soon.

There is no need for you to spy on us.

There's nothing to hide...

(door slam)

(steps getting closer)

(steps walking away)

(wood cracks)

(ice clings)

I don't know if today you arrived a bit

early or a bit late...

It started to rain and we were unable to film.

Where are you going?

I'm leaving you, Ernesto.

Shouldn't we talk about this before?

I've already told you everything

I had to.

Lena, please!

Please, Lena!

Good bye...

Lena, listen to me, Lena!

Let me go!

(grunts)

Turn around, my love. I'll help you.

Let me do it.

Don't worry, relax, I'll help you.

You could have broken something.

I'll remove your shoes.

You'll be more comfortable that way.

I'll take care of everything. Cheer up.

Help me.

My love, careful...

Sit down, carefully... treasure.

Like that... good...

I'll take you to hospital in a second.

My wife fell down the stairs!

Very carefully, please.

Let's see...

Careful.

The head...

Relax, relax.

Careful... Careful with the legs.

We'll take her to trauma.

May I use the phone?

Not here, in the doctor's office.

It's rather urgent.

Don't worry.

We'll take her to the consultation room in a second.

Mateo?

Yes. What's the matter? Are you not coming?

No, not tonight no.

Is everything OK?

There has been an accident.

But don't worry, everything is fine.

We've got afternoon filming tomorrow.

Shal we see each other first before?

No, I won't be able to. I've got plenty of stuff

to do. I'll see you directly in the sutiod.

You sound weird, Magdalena.

Are you sure everything is all right?

Yes. I'll see you tomorrow.

(Off) Well, they're here.

Don't ask anything, ok?

Are you OK, madam?

I'm fine.

Can I help you?

It's not necesary, thanks.

It hasn't been anything.

Martin, please.

Open the door.

Thanks for your discretion.

Could you please remove your glasses?

What do you want me to do?

What can I do for you to forgive me?

Take me to the studio.

You shouldn't move.

If you don't take me, I'll go.

Even if I have to crawl.

Aunque sea a rastras.

What are you going to say? How are

you going to explain the leg and the plaster and scratches?

Depends on you.

On me?

I'll do whatever you ask me,

if you promise to stay with you.

I will stay with you if you let

Mateo finish the filming,

according to whatever he decides.

He will start asking questions,

he's not an idiot.

I'll say I tripped.

How are you going to film, if you can't walk?

He will decide that, but I want to make sure

that you will respect his decision,

no matter the cost, or

the waiting time. Is that clear?

I live there.

And that's it. Ernesto is ready to

agree to whatever you decide.

Decide, what?

I can't go from a shot of you walking normal to

one in which you go in a plaster!

How long do you have to wear the plaster?

Three weeks.

Do you mind if I speak a second with Lena

on our own?

Tell me the truth!

People don't fall off the stairs,

that only happens in the movies.

(whispers) Be quiet, Mateo.

We need to finish the filming as soon as

possible. Until then I won't be able to dump Ernesto.

Why not? He's a psychopath!

What other proof do you need?

My god!

I can't go.

I've promised I'd stay with him

in exchange that you finish the movie with

the conditions that you decide.

No. There must be another solution.

Which one? The only one is that I keep

living with him until you finish!

What have you compromised to, exactly?

To live under the same roof, he in his own bedroom, and

I in mine.

He has no right to anything else.

Do you think he's going to abide only to that?

I don't know, but the sooner we finish

filming, the better. Make up something to avoid stopping!

We only have got one stair scene

We would have to repeat the ending...

(shouts) Action!

So you are Ivan's ex wife?

The one that has been in a physichiatric ward

for the last 20 years?

Yes, but I'm not in any ward anymore.

Now I'm here with you...

walking down the stairs...

According to the note, it seems that

you are in a hurry to see him.

Yes, but you walk first...

No, the one in a hurry is you.

I've been waiting for 20 years.

Come on...

As I was telling you...

After breaking appart with my husband

I went to the street and I found a

guy that was looking at me, very good looking.

What an arse, feet... Well, I brought him

home and I f***ed him several times.

You know I'm very interested in sex

as a social matter.

And how was it?

In bed, godly, a virtuous.

Haven't seen anything like that.

This is the good one.

What a big toe!

(Off Mateo) "Every morning,

Lena arrived destroyed to the filming.

Based on repetition, there was always a shot

in which she overcame it and managed to do it good.

The convivence with Martel

had become hell.

Lena didn't tell me anything,

but it was obvious.
