that I'm divorced, it upsets them.

Me too, divorce.

Divorce make you sad

and make you an outcast.

You have no sex

for a long time, baby.

I can tell by your knee.

The cartilage very dry.

Hormones from sex lubricate joint.

-Okay.

-l pray for you.

We sisters.

Armenia!

Armenia from Brazil.

Armenia, this is Liz from New York.

-Hi.

-Lovely to meet you, Liz.

Time for a banana root

hair treatment?

-Yes, of course.

-lt makes the hair long and lustrous.

Like Cher circa 1 975.

Do you have a nice dress?

One.

Put it on tonight,

come to the Beach Shack.

I'll introduce you to everyone.

The expats, the locals.

You'll dance. You will love it.

Oh, no, l don't think I can dance

with my leg like this.

Of course you can. Leg no problem.

You see.

Now you have to come.

Hi. Could I get a tequila on the rocks

with a lot of lime, please?

Coming right up.

Can l buy you a drink?

No, thank you, I'm fine.

I-- l almost killed you.

I am sorry for that, really.

-Hello.

-Hi.

I'm sorry, really.

Yeah.

I'm sorry I'm laughing,

but it's amazing.

I was actually listening to this song

in the car when the tape jumped.

And l leaned over to fix it

and l ran you off the road.

-Did you tell them to play it?

-No, no, no. I make them mixtapes.

Mostly Brazilian music.

But l'm also very much into

Phil Collins and Air Supply.

You really shouldn't

say things like that out loud.

Liz!

-Hi.

-Oh, I see you've already met Felipe.

Oh, of course. Two sad divorces.

You have so much in common.

I have the perfect man for you.

Just a little love affair.

Everyone has a little love affair in Bali.

Isn't he charming? lan.

Doesn't he look like Sting?

Oh, yeah.

I made a very good mixtape of Sting.

You should dance with him.

Got you. Come on, l got you.

That's gonna hurt tomorrow.

All right. You know what?

-That is it. We are going swimming.

-No, I don't even have my-- l--

You don't have your-- You don't--

You're so naked.

Yeah, l'm naked.

Armenia says everyone

should have a love affair.

This is Bali. Everyone should have

a love affair in Bali.

Yeah, but--

Oh, God. No, no, no.

-Love affairs are awesome, dude.

-They are. l just--

I dated you 1 5 years ago.

And l dated you six months ago.

So l'm gonna go.

You're not-- You're really--

You're going.

But you're cute.

I think I look good.

Wait a minute.

Oh, sorry. Here.

-Thank you.

-Do you need a ride?

That way I won't run you over again.

Hello.

-What time is it?

-Five a.m.

Oh, you party hard.

You really do.

Thank you for....

-The ride?

-Yeah.

You're very welcome.

Need help with the bicycle?

You keep it.

Keep it? But it has a basket.

It also has a bell.

Good afternoon. How are you?

What are you doing here?

Well, l've brought you

Wayan's famous hangover cure...

...because you drank

a little bit too much last night.

And here it is.

Very delicious, as you can see...

...and very tasty.

Do you make it a habit of

walking into people's houses?

Do you make it a habit of

sleeping with your front door open?

It's a call. Moment.

-Hello, darling. How are you?

-Can't get the coffee machine to work.

Okay. l've told you 50 times.

It's very easy.

You change the filter,

you add the coffee...

...you add water and that's it.

How did you get into college?

-How do l make it like you?

-Listen, l've been making coffee...

...darling, for 40 years, so you have

to be patient with yourself. All right?

Okay. So, what's up with you?

-Nothing. l just can't talk right now.

-Holy sh*t. You're with a girl.

-l have to go.

-Who is she? ls she hot?

-Jesus, she's hot.

-Dad, if you hang up...

...l'll call back and embarrass you.

Dad, don't--

That's a lot of "darlings," darling.

Yeah. That darling was my son.

I've called all my children "darling"

since they were little.

Then there was a moment that

between the pets and the children...

...l was confused,

so l called everybody "darling."

Okay, you need to rest.

Here is my number and my address.

I'm gonna leave it here on the table,

in case you need a tour guide.

A tour guide.

And please, drink that up, because

it's gonna help you a big deal.

Because you really look....

-Ravishing?

-Astonishing.

-Go away. Please.

-Okay. Drink it up.

It's gonna be helpful.

Hey, Mr. Tour Guide.

Can we start with a coffee?

Okay.

What are these?

These are rambutan.

They're delicious.

It's like an orange made love

to a plum. Would you like some?

When you put it that way,

yes, thank you.

Excuse me.

What is that?

No, no, no.

They taste like dirty feet.

-Really?

-Dirty feet.

They taste like feet.

Look out. Nice.

How many places have you visited?

I have 46 stamps on my passport.

I happen to have 49 stamps

on my passport.

-Forty-nine? I knew it.

-Yes.

-Knew what?

-l knew it.

We are both antevasins, my dear.

What is that?

Antevasin is....

It's an in-between.

It is the one who lives

by the border...

...because they renounce

to the comfort of family life...

...in order to seek "enlightment."

I like your word.

And l like the way

you say "enlightment."

"Enlightment." I try.

You're missing a syllable,

but I like it.

It's beautiful, no?

It's Pura Melanting,

which means "Temple of Prosperity."

-Beautiful.

-Yup.

-So next attraction of the tour?

-Yes.

-Food from Bali.

-Oh, good. l'm starving.

-Where should we go?

-To the best restaurant in town.

-Of course.

-My place.

Subtle.

Did you always live in Brazil

before you came to Bali?

No, no. Only for 20 years.

Then l met my wife

and l moved with her to Australia.

She traveled a lot

because of the job.

-And I stayed home with the children.

-A good feminist husband.

Yeah. Yeah. Didn't turn out to be

what she wanted, l'm afraid.

-What happened?

-What happened?

Well, the children were grown.

And l run an import-export jewelry

business, so I could live anywhere.

And Bali seemed like the perfect place

to recover from a divorce.

And here l am. Here l am.

-And you?

-Well, far less tragic.

We were immature and really too

young to get married. We grew apart.

Hearts were broken.

Yes.

Then it's the same.

This is just perfect.

So are you.

You know what you are?

You're a falsa magra.

-You know what that is?

-What?

You are slender and elegant

in a distance...

...but up close,

you are round and fleshy.

Thank God for Brazilians.

Stop that!

You are a world traveler.

He says that to everyone.

Already make your money.

You don't have young-man ambition.

-He's good.

-You have three children.

Two. That's a callous.

And you have divorce.

Very difficult.

You loved her very much.

You haven't healed that wound.

Now you are scared

to open your heart.

You are afraid

hurt will happen to you again.

Only way to heal...

...is to trust.

This okay. To have broken heart

mean you have tried for something.

Is it going to be broken again?

He a good man, Liz.

You need a good man.

Thank you.

True. Ketut knows.

I am so sick of people telling me
