You want to borrow

some trousers?

Come on, kid, get up.

I want to play guitar and

Mum won't let me if you're asleep.

Come on,

move.

Man, you're a pain!

Morning, honey.

Come on, get up.

Or you won't have time

to do anything before lunch.

Come on.

Look at this room,

what a mess.

Luis fixed the wheel on your bike.

Papa would have done it too.

Hey, come on, let's go.

Who's that?

It's the guy who cuts the grass.

- My brother cuts your grass.

- Not this year.

He's our Bulgarian lodger.

- A Bulgarian lodger?

- Yeah.

Bye.

See you later.

- He speaks good Catalan.

- He knows a few words.

Don't get yourself dirty.

You know you need

to be five people to race?

Of course.

Do you think we're stupid?

Yes.

Damn, we can't race.

I need this wish.

We'll race. We'll find someone.

Shall I ask my grandma?

WANTED:
TEAM MEMBER

FOR GRAND RACE FOR THE CABIN

INTERESTED? COME TO BEACH BAR

TOMORROW AT 5. THE KIDS

This road wasn't here last year.

It's for the trucks from

some construction thing.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Are you coming for a swim?

- Later.

Suit yourself.

- More sea for me.

- And me!

What are you gonna wish for?

To be able to move time

back and forwards when I want.

I could change things that

have happened which I didn't like.

What will you wish for?

For it to be summer all year.

It gets harder every year

to go home and not see you guys.

Stop drooling, please.

She's Yenas's cousin.

Let's go!

- No one?

- No one.

Someone's coming.

Sh*t, it's Colo.

Let's go.

What's up with Colo?

I'm here for the casting.

Yeah, well, we've sorted it.

Oh, I see...

- No one has come yet.

- Yes, they did, Roth. Remember?

Who? Who did we sign up?

Well...

What kind of a name is Colo?

It's my surname, Colomer,

people call me Colo.

- What's your name?

- Roth.

And why's that?

- Your name's got pedigree.

- Pedigree?

Come on, let's go.

Just a minute.

How many gangs have you been in?

About 15.

Fifteen gangs.

Well, 30 actually,

but I didn't want to sound silly.

I've been with the Can Miret gang,

the biker gang,

the posh boys,

the grebs, the badboys,

until they robbed me.

the northern bike gang,

the punks...

Okay, we get it.

- We'll call you.

- Have you got the number?

- We'll come to your house.

- You know where it is?

It's the first house after the hill

but before the beach.

Not on the hill or on the beach,

it's as if it was nowhere.

There's a sign that says

"Beware of the dog".

But the dog is a cat,

Dad says we can't put

"Beware of the cat".

Although he's dangerous,

he's scratched me twice.

We'll find it.

Why do you want to join us?

I don't have any friends.

Let's go.

Listen,

the summer you won the cabin,

did you notice anything?

Don't tell me you believe that

stuff about wishes coming true.

Aren't you a bit old for that?

The cabin repelled bombs

during the war.

Yeah, sure.

- I'd like to make a wish.

- What wish?

I want Dad to come back.

Dad has left us.

He's called four times in a year.

Get used to the idea

that the word Dad

doesn't mean much now.

But I won't let you down.

I promise.

I know, I'm late.

Come in and eat your dinner.

I think we should tell him.

No, not yet.

I think we should tell him too,

he's got a right to know.

Let him have some fun,

we'll tell him in few days.

He's not going to like it.

This place and his friends

mean the world to him.

Let him enjoy himself.

Hello? Who's there?

What do you want, kid?

Hello, is Colo home?

Have you come to see Colo? Really?

Come on in.

Colo! A friend is here to see you!

Colo, come outside. Colito!

No, not you Dad, the boy.

Hello, do you want to come in?

We're about to eat.

It's fish,

but I can make something else.

Hamburgers... We don't have any,

but I could get some.

- Or croquettes, anything you like.

- No, thanks.

I'm expected for dinner at home.

Colo!

Stop eating chips for a minute!

Your friend is here!

There he is.

Hello.

Hello, do you want

to join our gang?

Really? Did they all agree?

They want me to join their gang.

Well, we're almost all agreed.

Tomorrow at 10 at the old caravan

on the hill, by the cabin, okay?

Bye.

Wait.

You're short of people, right?

- What?

- You're short.

That's why you asked me.

- Is it for the go-karts?

- We want you in our group.

Save it. I'm not daft.

I want immunity.

Immunity?

You keep me in the gang

the whole summer.

- I can't promise that.

- Then find someone else,

because my chips are getting cold.

Wait. One week of immunity.

One month.

10 days, twice as long

as you've lasted in any gang.

- Until tomorrow.

- See you tomorrow.

Are you all right?

I'm great.

Have you been to Paris?

For work.

More work.

Don't you love the Eiffel tower?

I'd never been to Paris.

Last May I was at Girona airport

waiting for some friends,

when this old woman

with a massive mole on her nose

came over and said to me,

"Let's go, we're late. "

I was freaked out.

"Let's go where?"

"To Paris" she said.

She was a grandma with Alzheimer's

who thought

I was her granddaughter.

So we went to the Eiffel tower.

It's the biggest cabin

in the world.

And she said to me,

"If I could, I'd walk up it. "

And I said to her,

"You can't, but I can. "

And I went up

and I wrote:
"I made it", on foot.

It's really high.

1665 steps. I counted them.

Did you go up it?

You never went up? Just work.

- Don't you like fun?

- Shut up! Please!

I don't want to talk

about Paris or grandmas.

I don't like you,

you've screwed up my day,

and perhaps even my life.

I just cancelled a meeting

because of you,

and you won't stop talking, as if

I'm interested in all your bullshit.

So you've been up the Eiffel tower,

great, congratulations!

Maybe you do all this crap because

you don't know what else to do.

You don't have objectives,

you're bored.

Not me. I like my work,

I like it,

and I don't give a sh*t

about the Eiffel tower.

What kind of shitty inscription

is that anyway? "I made it. "

A bit of imagination,

for God's sake.

Who has time

to go up the Eiffel tower

and leave a shitty inscription

like that? It's pathetic.

- Me.

- Yes.

At the hotel I'll find

another way to get to Barcelona.

Yeah, because I'm not taking you,

I can tell you that.

Listen, love,

I've got an advertising agency,

and today I had

a very important presentation

with a very important client,

which could mean a lot of money

and a big deal for the company.

I might've been

a bit nervous and bit...

- Of an imbecile?

- No, I was going to say honest.

Honest?

Yes, I don't think...

that you can

go through life like that.

Screw you.

Just a couple more things

for the presentation tomorrow.

I suppose it's a bit late

and you've left the office.

So, don't worry,

we'll talk tomorrow, okay?

Bye.

Publicly, everyone else knows

why our heart aches...

Most accidents are caused by

driver error or distraction...

Encouraging images from

the region's rivers and reservoirs.
