See?

This is not good for you.

You have to put a stop this.

If you go out you get lost.

You're making my life hard.

What do you want?

I'm thirsty.

Go and help yourself.

Shut the door!

This keeps my head occupied.

In what?

Not sure... the past.

In your mother.

If we had that house we wouldnt

be living so tight here.

Things are the way they are, Dad.

Look.

This one fits in your wallet.

Do you want it?

It was Leo who took that picture.

Do you remember Leo?

Leonor's husband.

Leo and Leonor.

It sounds funny,

But those were their names!

I do.

Come on.

Time for bed.

I was thinking to start

the paperwork.

Like we discussed.

Tomorrow, is that ok?

Let's go tomorrow.

Good night.

I can't sleep.

Come on, Nani...

Go to sleep.

I'm having ugly thoughts.

Come here.

Only for tonight.

Leave me alone!

Mum, Nani is hitting me!

Leave your brother alone.

Stop it you two.

- It's him!

- You make me nuts.

Here. Give it to your teacher.

Put it in a safe place.

- Inside my shoe?

- Don't be smart.

Stop it, Nani...

You are so difficult!

Put on your jacket.

You too, Fabri...

- Do you like Nestor?

- What are you talking about?

Stop messing around.

I saw how you kept his

business card.

He gave me one as well.

I reckon he wants

something with you.

He wants to f*** you Mum.

Have you got any idea what

you just said? That's nasty word.

- Words are just words.

- Don't you start now.

Good bye Granddad.

Let's go.

Quiet.

Hold on Fabri's hand, Brenda.

Is this too formal?

I reckon it's better this way.

So we don't get rejected.

Too much, maybe?

- Should I get changed?

- No, you're ok.

It's getting late. Lets go.

Dad, your shoes.

God, look how you carry your

toenails!

It looks terrible! Does it hurt?

We don't have to go if you

don't want to.

I don't want this either, Dad.

But I'm just tired.

Very tired.

I'm not trying to blame you.

It's not your fault.

But with the kids and else...

I need to find a better job

out of the house.

Are you listening?

This is important.

Whatever you decide,

it's ok by me.

Sit down Dad.

We're not there yet.

- Can I go to the back?

- Excuse me...

It's not here.

- Where are we going? Home?

- No. Somewhere else.

Sit down...

I'll let you know...

Stay still.

Well, this is the form.

They only serve 50 a day.

We did well coming so early.

This might even be quick.

Yeah right, I've been

waiting for half an hour.

At least it's early

Can I have your ID?

I'll do it.

No.

You write very slowly.

But we got time.

I'll do it.

It's no big deal.

No big deal for me either.

Don't be stubborn!

I only have one form.

If you make any mistake,

I'll have to queue again.

You could also make a mistake.

- Do you need a pen?

- Ok, you win...

I can't believe I lost a day

of work for this sh*t.

No, thanks ma'am.

What's your salary?

It varies, depends on the job.

I'll put down say, 5000 pesos.

Is that ok?

Any other income in the household?

Yes, my Father's retirement.

And Government help for my

three children.

That's ok.

I'm going to be straight up with you.

Because of you combined income,

there's very little chance

of accepting your father.

I loaded all your data in the

system.

and we're going to start the

application.

I need

a telephone number.

Right here.

And this is for you.

Have you considered a private

institution?

Our centers are reserved for

homeless people.

Individuals that have nothing,

and no one.

- Don't you have a cellphone?

- No.

No worries.

We will let you know.

But like I said:

Don't keep your hopes up.

Numbers are tight.

You might want to have a second

though about this.

Old people go depressed

being away from family.

He looks healthy.

He's not.

He forget things.

Sure, we will let you know.

You can't put me in the middle

of this situation.

Maria, think.

Where do you want me to put him?

Flavio is unemployed.

We're living with his parents.

I want a date.

- A date?

- Yes, when are you taking him?

I couldn't tell you.

I'll have to think about it.

Discuss it with Flavio.

Please don't do this to me, Maria.

You know I can't have him.

I can't deal with this

situation.

What situation?

The situation is your Father!

When he got sick, you didn't

even show at the hospital.

Have you got any idea how many

times he got lost lately?

No, of course you don't.

I'm the one that washes his

pissed pyjamas.

Maria don't go!

We're having a conversation.

Can we rest for a bit?

Wait for me right there.

I'm going to get you water.

Excuse me, is everything ok?

Do you need anything?

No, thank you... I'm fine.

People get sunburn even in

winter.

You would be better there.

Am I bothering you here?

No.

I'm just trying to help.

Don't take it the wrong way.

What's the time?

3:
30 PM.

Are you off?

I didn't mean to offend you.

I don't have a problem with you.

I saw you there

and got worried.

Would you be so kind to check

if my daughter is at the shop?

Her name is Maria.

She's slim, dark short hear...

I'm sorry to impose...

But if I go, and she came,

she'll think I'm gone.

- If is not too much to ask.

- Of course not.

There's no one there.

She might have had to do

something urgent.

I'm thinking she told something...

Yes. That she had to buy stuff

for the children.

I think...

Have a good evening.

Where's Granddad?

You bought chicken, good.

Did your brothers eat?

I took money from the drawers.

Enough.

It's not time for TV.

- Did you do your homework?

- I don't have any.

Where's Fabri?

He's having a nap.

Granddad?

At the retirement home.

You could have told me.

What for?

To say goodbye.

You're mean.

Was that too hard to do?

You lied to me...

You said it was going to take a while.

I didn't lie to you...

We could go and visit

every week.

But I wanted to come along.

It's done, Brenda.

This is over.

- Go and buy some pastries.

- I don't want any.

I do!

Your jacket!

Hurry up!

I haven't spoken with him,

but he's been there a while.

No, he's alone.

He looks tired.

I reckon he's lost.

Sure.

You people go? When do you go?

Sure.

You're welcome.

Easy, Fabri... I'm coming.

Mum, look what I got for you.

Can you just wait a minute!

F***!

So, he said yes?

- We had to insist.

- He must be hungry.

Of course.

He spent all day there.

They're coming to pick him up.

Why don't you want to cooperate?

This is a public place.

I'm not bothering anybody here.

That's not what she said.

Good evening.

Was it you that rang us?

No.

Somebody reported an elderly

man lost in the Buceo area.

- But I'm not lost.

- Do you take medication?

We could take him to a better

place, or to his family.

I understand. But this gentleman

is waiting for somebody.

My daughter Maria.

Can you confirm that you saw her?

No.

That's what he told me.

Don't get me wrong,

but that might not be true.

I'm waiting for somebody.

Why don't you come with us?

We could take you to a

warmer place.
