Why should I forgive him?

I'll go, it's my friends.

No. You stay there.

- I said I'll go.

- Homework.

Excuse me,

do you speak my language?

What?

Do you speak my language?

Of course I do.

- Where did you learn? In Romania?

- In Romania?

Or was it Bulgaria?

Look, kids, Xavi is grounded.

He was out last night,

perhaps with you lot.

Yes, he was with us.

Will he be grounded for long?

Two days.

- Can we speak to him?

- No.

How come the Romanian gardener

decides that?

Romanian gardener?

I'm not the Romanian gardener.

I'm...

I'm his stepfather.

What? You're his dad?

- You don't look like his dad.

- What?

His dad was short,

he had wrinkles when he laughed.

And you're old.

What happened to him?

Didn't he tell you that

his mum and dad were separated?

Or that his mother

was with me now?

Wow.

Yes, wow.

Wait there a minute.

You can go.

You can finish that tonight.

Is this really a bear's den?

Well, not exactly.

Who told you that?

Ekaitz.

What happened was, one day,

I got lost in the woods.

It was really cold,

I thought I would freeze.

- Then a bear appeared.

- A bear?

He says he saw a bear,

but no one else saw it.

I sometimes think

it's my guardian angel

and that it's there for me

if I need help.

I'm going to help Ekaitz,

I don't want to hear this crap.

What will your wish be?

That you turn mute.

- Can it do that?

- It deflected bombs, remember?

- I'll ask to be in this gang forever.

- Shut up.

Will you lend me your cap?

- Ekaitz, is this right?

- Perfect.

Hello.

What are you doing here?

Well, I was...

sitting at home and...

I thought maybe...

Well, you know the other day...

I write things, and I...

You wrote something for me?

How sweet.

Wait, I'll come down.

Let's go to the bench.

Shall I read it?

Sure.

Sit here.

- Do you know English?

- No.

Great.

Last night I was dreaming

I was locked in a prison cell.

When I woke up I was screaming,

calling out your name.

Judge and jury put the blame on me.

They wouldn't hear my plea.

Only you can set me free.

Because I'm guilty,

guilty as a boy can be.

Come on, can't you see? I'm guilty

of love in the first degree,

Guilty.

Can't you see that I'm lonely?

Won't you help me?

Only you can set me free.

Do you want to kiss me?

I have to go.

Xavi!

What are you doing

out this late?

- You'll get grounded again.

- I don't care.

- Look, they took my cast off.

- That's good.

I quite liked it.

Going home already?

I don't know.

- Take that! 4-2!

- You're so lucky.

- You'll never beat me.

- I always beat you.

Liar.

Where had you been?

- You'll laugh at me.

- Of course.

Where had you been?

At Helena's house.

- It was really weird.

- Why?

It's going to sound stupid.

I wrote something for her

and I was hoping when I read it...

Well, I don't know,

but nothing happened.

Didn't she like it?

Yeah, well... she kissed me.

Really?

It was a bit...

She put her tongue

in my mouth.

- Why?

- I don't know.

I don't think I like it.

My brother said I would feel

butterflies in my stomach,

but what I felt was more like...

I don't know...

- Queasy.

- I see.

You're acting different.

How?

- I don't know. Weird.

- Weird?

I'm not the tongue sucker,

you're the weird one.

What is it?

Can I try something?

Okay.

- Are you crazy?

- You said I could.

- Not that though! I'm off!

- Me too.

- Hey, don't tell anyone.

- Or you, stupid!

- I told you it was a test.

- And?

- I don't know.

- See? You're an idiot. Bye.

- What are you doing?

- Getting ready for my date.

Which isn't you.

- Can I ask you a favour?

- Another?

- No, thanks, no.

- Go on.

It's a detour of a few miles.

I want to pick up a friend.

Now I have to chauffeur

you around on your date?

Don't be jealous,

he's just a friend.

How many miles?

About six.

Six.

- Please.

- No.

- Please.

- No.

Please. Please. Please.

Thank you.

Why is it so important?

It's to do with my gang

when I was little.

We were about 12 at the time,

it was the eighties.

You must've been

about the same age then.

Yes.

And...

Don't you remember one summer

as the most important in your life?

- Hello.

- How's it going, kid?

Let me go, scar.

Let me go.

Hello.

Hello.

- Hello, Rotis, you want something?

- I've eaten,

- but I could eat a pastry.

- I think I've got one left.

I'll get it.

We hardly know each other,

but Xavi's mother tells me

that they love you

like you were family.

Is that a lot or a little?

A lot, of course.

I don't know, you're like family,

but Xavi doesn't love you.

It's not that

he doesn't love me...

He doesn't love you.

- Hello.

- Hello, is Xavi in?

And why are you so happy?

Come in, Roth is here too.

Okay.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Hello, Cristo.

- Sit down.

- No, thanks, I'm fine.

Hello.

- Hello.

- Good morning.

Hello.

Sure you don't want

to sit next to Xavi?

No, no.

- We're testing the go-kart today.

- Be careful.

- Don't hurt yourselves.

- Relax, Mum.

- Come on, let's go!

- Xavi.

- What?

- Come with me.

- We've got to hurry.

- Just for a minute.

- This race...

- I'm racing. You can't stop me.

Yes, I know it's very important.

I just wanted to contribute,

and make it a bit safer.

It's really cool.

Really? You like it?

It's great.

Let's see.

And... yes.

Is it okay?

Perfect.

I know you want your dad back.

That's why you want

to win this race. I heard you.

I don't want to replace your dad,

and it's normal you miss him.

To me and to you,

your mother is very important...

and I'd like it if

we could all try to get along.

Go on then, you'll be late.

Hold on.

Listen...

Yes?

Thanks.

I don't want to call you Dad.

Of course, you don't have to.

Could we find another word?

Lluis, for example?

Okay, Lluis.

This is the circuit.

We have to get down safely,

get past the steep section,

then make it to the road

as fast as possible.

- How do you know?

- What?

- How do you know?

- It's the same every year,

we always watch it.

"The Kids"?

One, two, three, "The Kids"!

Sh*t.

Look at this.

What a crappy kart.

Just like the team.

- Leave us in peace.

- I decide who I leave in peace.

Idiot! Bloody Yenas.

Relax, guys. They're kids,

let's give them a break.

- They can't beat us anyway.

- We'll see about that.

- We'll win the race.

- And get our wishes.

You can't win the cabin

with no car, it'll be ours forever.

- For a year, maximum.

- A year?

Oh, you didn't know?

They're making a reservoir here.

This will be the last ever race.

Let's go!

They're crazy.

How could they turn

the village into a reservoir?

What's up, Colo?

- Nothing.

- Then why have you gone red?

What?

I'm always red.

What is it, Colo?

Come on, tell us.

- You'll kick me out.

- We will, if you don't tell us.

Yenas is right.

They're making a reservoir.

My dad is the engineer

for the dam.

I didn't tell you because I thought

you'd kick me out the gang,

- but I still have immunity.

- No way!
