What are you supposed to be?

His pet?

Is this the reason

you came to Barcelona?

To abandon dancing and your old life.

Only to become a pet?

You could have done

the same in Madrid as easily.

I'm sorry, I'm sore.

He's been calling me again.

Everyday.

Sometimes, twice a day.

He upsets me.

I don't know why.

But he upsets me.

Why don't you talk with him?

Girls! A shot from me.

By the way, I am Apollo.

Nice to meet you.

Ariadna.

Where are you from?

- Where are you from?

- Venezuela.

And what are you doing here?

Well, for the time being I serve shots

while I try not to loose myself...

In the eyes of beautiful

women, like yourselves.

No...

Seriously... I'm an actor...

So just like everyone else.

Looking around.

Let's say that some time ago...

I realised I wasn't in the right place

for what I really wanted to do...

And that I wouldn't conform to

my country's soap operas...

So I packed my bags and here I am.

Breaking bottles and

playing the interesting guy.

And you?

How did you end up here?

You tell me...!

I came to Barcelona

four years ago,

or, better said, I escaped

to Barcelona four years ago...

For reasons that are

none of your business.

And since then I am

listening to everyone's stories...

About how they all

ended up in this city.

Maybe I'll write a book someday.

Well, if you do write it...

I buy it.

Excuse me...

One red wine for me...

What will you have?

And one Tequila with ice.

Take it easy because the Tequila

is not for girls, eh?!

What was that?

Nothing.

Trying to be funny...

- What will you have?

- A beer.

So, for the premiere and then

for the shows, I won't have invitations.

But for the general rehearsal

I could hook you up.

I am not sure.

I have a conference.

Anyway, you could give me

your number and we can arrange.

Yeah, we'll see...

Do I know you from television?

No... no, I'm not on television.

I don't want to.

Why?

Well you know...

Television actors...

To you...

To you... to us...

To us...

And how do they call you?

Hippolytos?

Yes, why?

Very unusual.

Yes, I know.

It was to me also.

But with time.

I like it more and more.

What do you do?

I'm an actor.

Theatre mainly and

some film every now and then.

It's been a while since

I went to the theatre.

Where would you like

to make a movie?

In many places.

Everywhere!

In fact they offered me a part in...

Anyway, let's first see if it gets made.

Everywhere.

I hope it does.

We'll see.

And you?

Photographer.

Photographer!

I like photography a lot.

Maybe at some point

in the future.

For the time being.

I do something completely different.

What?

To the future...

To the future...

Hippolytos...

What were your parents thinking

when they named you like this?

Of phaedra?

Do you remember now?

Where have you been?

I drank so I slept at ariadna's.

And how was it?

Good?

How come you drank?

They were buying us shots.

You don't drink.

I used to.

Do you think I am an idiot?

A complete a**hole?

Because if that's the case

I would like to know.

Shut up!

You don't pay

any attention to me.

I am invisible!

What am Ifor you?

A little toy

you caged in here...

Trying to make it

become like your fantasy.

And if this little toy reminds you

it exists, the man inside you revolts,

and then you

take interest in me.

But how do you do that?

As if some neighbour wanted to steal

a couple of square meters of your property.

I'm not your property.

I'm not your fantasy

my fantasy?

What fantasy?

I haven't locked you up

in the f***in' house.

What I always wanted, was for you to do

what you wanted, and not the clown!

I wanted you to be a dancer...

Not a telephone operator.

"All our lines are busy at the moment,

if you could"

let's stop shouting and speak with calm.

I don't want to speak about

anything anymore.

Fine, let's not speak.

Let's go for a walk.

We are asphyxiating in here.

I will call at work

and tell them I'm not going.

I'm taking the day off.

They won't say anything.

As if they could...

It's me that makes them a favour

and not the other way around.

Of course they don't have

to provide for a family.

Papa pays and they open restaurants

where they hire poor devils like me.

My entire life learning

how to cook and for what?

For nothing.

To make shitty plates

in a shitty joint

where people go

to masticate and not to eat.

Where do you want to go?

So, it didn't occur to you to call.

You were busy.

Calliope...

I don't know where I am lately.

You could have texted me though.

I had so many things in my mind.

What thing can

leave you with so little time?

It's not a matter of time.

It's a matter of concentration.

What were you doing then?

Meditating?

Or were you getting in character?

If you 're going to be ironic.

We'd better drop it.

What were you doing, tell me.

We see things completely different.

Yes, I can see that.

Why do you put

such pressure on this?

I'm putting pressure...

I'm putting pressure on you

when I ask for little of your precious time.

While you don't have time

even for a single message.

I get it.

Don't go!

Why?

I don't know.

I don't want us to be like this.

That's what I'm saying.

You don't want to.

You are only talking about yourself.

I can't continue in this "poetic mood".

Admit one thing.

You don't want me.

Sometimes you... cut!

Dimitris... where is Dimitris?

"Bricks" is his cue. "Bricks" I

action I

I can't continue in this poetic mood.

Admit one thing.

You don't want me.

Sometimes you do want me but as soon as

we get out of bed there starts the drama.

You don't want me.

And let me hear it, so maybe then I'll

understand what the f*** I'm doing here with you.

You don't have to take it like this.

Do you want us to be together?

Are we together?

What will you say now?

That all break ups are for the best?

I've broken up many times in my life.

I don't want to anymore.

It all depends on how you look at it.

Brick by brick. That's how your

personality is being built.

And every little brick

has its own name.

Athena, myrto, Calliope. What are

the people? Your little bricks?

Answer me this.

Is there one person in your life, that

once lost, could never be replaced?

Every person is irreplaceable.

- Every person is irreplaceable.

- Cut the crap and answer the question.

You know what I'm talking about!

I don't know

cut!

Excellent. That's it.

You don't know!

Don't you know?

Let me see.

And this?

One facial massage...

Do you recall?

Yes

look at your memories.

What do you recall?

We celebrate one year together

she asks me for a massage

i don't do it

i don't

why?

What do you feel?

I don't know answer me

what do you feel?

Answer me

can you feel?

I don't know

you do know

what do you feel?

I don't know

go on you will

realise you do know

i tell her I took the part

i tell her that next year

Wait, I'm coming.
