I don't have brown hair anymore.

Now I'm bald. How about that?

Is someone waiting for you?

No. And I prefer it like this.

It gives me strength.

Didn't you call a friend?

Sure, and screw up their summer!

And you? Have you packed

your bag for the trip to Siberia?

- No.

- Why?

There's time.

I know someone who'd be so happy

if he could be going

to get his daughter.

Then he can go in my place.

- What?

- Never mind.

Come on, Julin, tell me.

We've spent a lot trying.

Now I'm not sure I want

a daughter with my wife.

Well...

Poor Natasha.

Maybe no one will go and get her.

You know what to do...

if there's the slightest chance

of saving that nipple of mine.

Okay...

But at least sing me something

before you operate on me.

Go on.

It relaxes me to know

I'm in the hands of an artist.

I walk the streets

with your name

enclosed in my fist.

And I drag along

a scarf

full of memories

towards oblivion,

my love.

If your pain

were mine,

and mine

were yours,

how beautiful love would be,

love,

to love.

Not today or yesterday,

but I will have".

tomorrow. .4.

so I can fly.

Thank you!

- It looks like mine!

- It doesn't look anything like it.

How do you know? Have you seen it?

You're right,

it looks nothing like it.

Hi, Mama!

Hi, son!

They told me they took

one of your b*obs away.

Yes, but I've got another one.

This way you have a souvenir of her.

By the way,

Dad found out where you were,

picked me up at the lake

and brought me here with him.

Go outside a moment.

Dani! Go find him, hurry!

- What do I say?

- That I don't need his gift, I only want him.

Okay!

Magda, I'm staying with you,

I've decided.

- I'm going to take care of you.

- No, Ral.

No way. Look...

I'm going with Dani

for what's left of summer...

and winter too.

Make up something so he doesn't worry.

Don't push me away, please.

And get out of my room for good.

Hi, Mama.

- Hi, honey.

- Do you know who's here?

- Who'?

- The scout.

Arturo, this is great.

I just had a dream about you.

How are you doing?

A little groggy. Fine. And you?

My wife died last week.

I'm so sorry.

Stay here.

The operation was a success.

Congratulations!

You put me on

the good side of statistics?

You're free of the disease.

I'm free?

When I told you about my friend,

the one who'd go anywhere

for his daughter... that's him.

His name's Arturo.

Hello.

- I'm discharging you tomorrow.

- That's great.

What do you want to do tomorrow?

- Me?

- You.

I'll take you wherever you like.

Well... I promised my son

I'd take him to the beach.

With your 70%.

Are you sure you want to go

to the beach?

To get rid of any complexes,

from the first day.

But you can't sunbathe.

Then we'll buy a beach umbrella

for the three of us.

Let's go!

- Hi, Mama!

- Hi.

- We've got a surprise for you.

- Oh, yes?

What?

It's real hair.

It looks like mine.

Wait, wait.

It already smells like the sea!

You can't miss the sea

in summer, right?

Sure, or it wouldn't be summer!

Thanks, Arturo.

You set yourself up here.

I'll sleep on the sofa.

Oh, sure!

We came to be together, didn't we?

To keep each other company.

Yes. But you're the one

who needs company the most.

We sleep in the same bed,

in T-shirt and underwear.

Without touching, nothing.

But we're going to look

into each other's eyes,

up close...

This season Madrid's team

is way better than Baras, right?

Yes. It's our turn to win the League.

And the Champions.

Who's coming to the water with me?

Let's go.

Dani got a shock when he saw

my prosthetic breast.

It's only natural.

He'll soon see it as normal.

Arturo!

What position did you play?

I rotated a little

in the first years, but...

left back...

and then I started playing midfield,

distributing the ball,

which is my thing.

Why did you stop so young?

I'll tell you later, Dani.

Let's talk to your mother.

It's alright, keep talking.

C'm0n, honey, I'll put you to bed.

It's just...

I wanted to talk to Arturo.

Arturo.

He wants you to put him to bed.

Okay.

Arturo,

you still haven't told me

why you left the Madrid squad.

Do you really think

you can leave Madrid just like that?

No. Madrid leaves you.

I got a bad injury.

- How old were you?

- 22.

So young...

How did you get hurt?

I went in hard to finish off a goal,

and snapped a ligament in my knee.

And you could never

play soccer again?

No. Not as a professional.

- That's why you became a scout?

- Yeah, my sight was still good.

Arturo...

you don't need to wear the T-shirt,

I've seen you in swimming trunks.

- Feel like a dip up to your knees?

- Yes.

It's so hot...

Dani, are you coming in?

Not now.

Yes, hello?

Magda, I'm Julin,

your gynecologist.

Julin!

Wow, what a surprise!

How are you? Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

How was your Christmas?

Great, celebrating being together,

being a new family.

Arturo's the best thing

to happen to us.

He's acting like

a real dad for Dani.

- And haw are you?

- I'm great. I'm doing the best here.

They've got more to get over.

I help them as best I can.

But I'm fine.

The days get a bit long.

I miss the students,

but I'm in this house, which Hike,

and it helps me to start

a new life.

- It's Dani that worries me a little.

- Why?

Because he's still affected

by me, poor boy.

What do you mean, affected?

He avoids eye contact.

He can only look at me

for a few seconds.

We're thinking of taking him

to a psychologist.

Ral, his father, is no help at all.

He has seen him once

since the school year started.

They said you didn't go

for your check-up.

Yes, of course I went,

but they said there was a months-long

waiting list for a mammogram.

You should have come to my office.

Yeah, right. Why would I barge

in front of everyone else?

Because your gynecologist says so.

Come tomorrow at 9:00.

That way I won't be worried.

Come in.

Hello.

- Alright then...

- Look.

Don't I look terrific?

You're an artist, Julin.

- It's healed over well.

- Yes, and it doesn't hurt.

I've got almost total mobility

in my right arm.

And I examine this one

every day and thoroughly.

Since I only have one left,

I can give it full attention.

And Arturo helps me.

I've got nothing,

not the slightest lump.

Alright, let's take a look.

But Arturo can't get it up.

We've never made love, not once.

He caresses me, kisses me, he's nice

and all that, but it stays the same.

So in May I'm getting an operation

to get two monster b*obs,

hit the beach, sunbathe

and turn him on!

- And your daughter?

- She's not my daughter.

That means she's still in Siberia.

It must be so cold there now!

Poor thing!

Julin, don't look like that,

I know that face.

You're scaring me.

Maybe I shouldn't have come.

Hello!

Your son was great at training today,

he's amazing.

- Great!

- She doesn't care about soccer.

No, Dani, that's not true.

- You have to respect her tastes.

- She broke her promise.

- What promise?

- You were going to try to understand soccer.
