and here is our bedroom.

Look, and the bathroom...

This closes completely.

Black out, really.

It's the perfect size.

3 bedrooms.

Yes, our room, the office downstairs,

and another for...

Guests.

Yes, and...

the other day you said you

wanted children soon,

but don't take that

as pressure, please.

The windows are 6 stories tall.

I've always dreamed of

a view of the sea,

but it's too expensive, darling.

Don't you worry, okay?

That's up to me, and period.

And how is he in bed?

Truthfully,

nothing out of this world.

He comes too fast.

He says he works too much.

You always said sex

is most important.

Maybe because I wasn't in love.

Val, I think it's a bit soon

to go live together.

You haven't been going out long.

You said I should change my life,

and I'm doing just that.

Being with him, I feel,

for the first time, no need for

anyone else. Besides, I'm nearly 29.

Maybe I should think

about having kids.

- So that's it.

- One of many reasons.

A man who doesn't like

animals worries me.

He's allergic to cat fur.

Okay, pay no mind to me.

I'm going through bad times.

- Will you take him?

- Yes.

- Can you zip me up?

- Sure.

- What are you looking at?

- The icebox.

- What's wrong with it?

- I love it.

Do you love me as well?

With that dress on, you look

beautiful.

To you?

Are you okay?

Of course I am, but I feel

a bit uncomfortable.

You're paying it all. You spent

a fortune on furniture.

What good is money

if you can't spend it?

When you find a job,

we'll talk about this again.

See anything?

It's beautiful.

Thanks, Jaime, but you can't pay

it all and give me these gifts.

It's to say I love you.

Sorry, did I step on you?

The table's small.

What a son of a b*tch!

What?

There's no need.

You f*** well. I can tell

you've been with many men.

I don't want to think

about that now.

You're mine only.

Mine only.

Don't talk.

What are you doing?

Embrace me.

Aren't you afraid?

Not any longer.

Yes?

- Valerie?

- Yes, speaking.

- Hi, it's Harry.

- Hi, Harry.

Could I see you this morning?

Sure, I'll be there in

half an hour. See you.

I hired a girl,

but she was a disaster.

She didn't last a week.

If you're willing,

you could start right now.

Right now?

Yes, I need someone urgently.

We present the collection in

3 weeks. We're up to here.

We haven't spoken about money yet.

A ham for Christmas.

Right, Maite?

- A client is waiting.

- I'll be right there. Thanks.

Don't worry about money.

We'll reach an agreement.

Coffee?

Hello.

I have very good news.

Where were you?

- I've started to work.

- What?

I called your cell phone

but it was off.

- Harry wants me to start right...

- Harry?

- They're...

- Who the f*** is Harry?

The boss, an Italian.

I've been hired by a fashion firm.

An Italian?

He hired you just like that?

Not knowing how you work?

How weird.

Isn't that weird?

You're still young

and have a lot to learn.

What's wrong?

I thought you'd be happy

about my job.

And I am. I am happy,

but I didn't expect it,

and that's why I reacted

that way.

But I am happy.

Forgive me.

Really, forgive me.

That night, that marvellous dream

I thought I was living

began to turn into a nightmare.

I just give an account

that I did not know

the person of which

I had fallen in love.

When the catalogues?

They should be printed tomorrow.

You do it, Valerie.

Where is he?

I'm losing my patience!

- What's going on?

- I'll bust your chops!

What are you doing here?

So, you're the one who

wants to f*** my wife?

Why is she here so late?

You think I don't know

what's going on?

You think I don't know?

Jaime,

go home. I'll be there soon.

Right away, darling. Wait for me.

I'll wait outside.

Get up. Come on, get up.

How are you?

Did you sleep well?

Darling, you know what

I've thought?

That we could both use a trip.

Forgive me, my love.

Forgive me.

Truthfully, I am very stressed.

I can't forget my problems.

We'll go on vacation,

and we'll be fine.

Don't touch me! It would

be best for us to separate.

Separate?

My darling, we can't separate.

I can't live without you.

If you leave me, I won't bear it.

My darling, my little love,

please.

You have to understand me.

Give me a chance,

I'm in bad shape.

Jaime, you're not well.

You're a compulsive liar,

your moods are unpredictable.

You're aggressive, you come

to work and show me up.

You're not acting in a normal way.

- You need to see a doctor.

- I'll do as you wish.

Whatever you want,

but don't leave me.

Please, you can't leave me.

I need you.

- When did you get here?

- Today.

You're unrecognizable.

You know what I'm thinking about?

Kuhaylan. Remember?

The first Arabian horse.

I think than man learned to tame it.

Honestly, you're unrecognizable,

Valerie. You need to be alone.

Look at me.

You know you can always

count on me.

People don't change, but I had

hopes of doing so with Jaime.

Sonia was right. I'm blind

and, what's worse,

I still love him.

I can't go on. All I want to do

is lose consciousness,

disappear from this world.

Oh, Val, Val! Why don't

you take a vacation?

It would do you well.

I appreciate it. You're right,

I can't work like this.

I can't concentrate.

And don't forget to take the ham.

Hit him with it and make it

look like an accident.

Were you not gay,

you and I would be together.

Oh, Madonna!

Yes, yes, that's it.

Do it. Don't stop.

Darling, look, I have a

Christmas present for you.

- What's your name?

- Vane.

Vane, this is Val.

Val, this is Vane.

We make up a perfect team.

Come here, my love.

Come here, love, come here.

Please, come here.

We could have a great time.

- What's your name?

- Vane.

Come, come on, my love,

come, come, come here.

Come, my darling.

What tits, huh?

What tits!

The biggest thing

you've got, b*tch.

You've got a piercing, huh?

That's enough.

Get off, off, off!

Where's my money?

I have no cash, you know?

- Where are my 100 euros?

- I don't know.

I have no idea.

Jaime, we're expecting a baby.

What?

We're expecting a baby.

That's impossible.

Why is it impossible?

I don't doubt you're expecting,

I doubt it's mine.

How can you say that?

You know why I doubt it?

Because I'm sterile

for many years now.

You laid someone else and

want to dump it on me.

You're a monster.

And you are a hysterical

piece of sh*t.

I've always wanted to tell

you this. You're a whore!

You lie all the time,

like all whores!

I don't know how

I stood you so long.

And that's it,

the conversation is over.

Don't cry, you pig.

Don't cry, pig.

A baby is what I most

wanted in this world.

You did right, Val. You're

still young for having kids.

I don't know what to do now.

I quit my job,

spent my savings and,

thanks to him, I'm in deep debt.

I paid the rent for months.

Well, don't worry.

What, what is going on here?

Can't you see?

She is leaving.

What, you're clearing off?

My love,

- I beg you, baby.
