Mar adentro
Calm...
Your feel more and more calm...
Now imagine a screen...
A movie screen that opens before you...
Create on it any place you like...
Concentrate on your breathing...
Helping your body
to relax... Feel at peace...
You don't have to change
it. Just let it come and go...
Come and go...
Now...
You are there...
Pay attention to the details...
The colors...
The textures...
The light...
The temperature. Feel the temperature...
Allow this calm view
The feeling of peace is infinite...
It's raining cats and dogs...
Are you sure this is closed...
Are you more calm now?
Well, is not easy. With
that view I have in front...
What view?
I can see through your skirt...
You are such a pig!
You know what, I won't read you anymore.
Besides, is almost
time. I'm going to pick her up...
Ok, Ill stand up
and prepare some coffee...
Would you like some music?
Ok, whatever is on...
Ok, Ill leave you with your Wagner...
See you in a while...
OUT TO SEA:
Julia, get in the
car. You're going to freeze...
You are Gen, right. I am Mark, hello...
And Julia?
It looks like Galicia doesn't like us...
Yeah, well, it's February.
How was your flight?
Fine. We finally meet...
Would you mind coming
with me in the car?
We had agreed that only
one person would come...
Yes, of course...
- And?...
- Oh, Mark? He's only here to take notes...
- Ok. Do you trust him?
- Yes. Well... He works at the firm...
Look, Im not sure if you are aware...
...of the step that Ramon has to take...
Of course I know the step
Ramon has to take.
We've talked about it...
Today it's you, then its the press,
then it's the television.
Ramon is afraid that this
could be taken in the wrong direction...
All I can tell you is that Ive come
to do things as best as possible...
I hope so...
And I remind you that for
me this is really important...
Not only professionally...
Believe me I understand Ramon very well...
- Hello
- Hello...
My name is Julia...
You are the lawyer...
This is Manuela. Ramon's sister in law
- Do you want help?
- No, no. It's fine...
They're here...
- Hello
- Hello...
Excuse me for not giving you my hand...
How come?
They tell me you are a little nervous...
Well, let's see. The
first thing is breakfast...
What time?
9:
30. Don't think thatI like to wake up early...
After that, I
listen to the radio for bit...
What do you like to listen to?
A little of everything. Mostly debates.
You like debates?
Yes, yes. I like the party...
See. This is my personal computer...
- Did you design it?
- Yes, I like inventions.
My father or my nephew builds them...
You are so serious all of a sudden...
Why dying?
Well, let's see. I want to die because...
...for me, life in this
way... is not worthy...
I can understand if other
tetraplegic could...
...feel offended when I say life
like this is not worthy...
But I don't judge anyone.
Who am I to judge those
that want to live?
That's why I ask not to be judged
nor the person that helps me to die...
And do you think
someone is going to help you?
Well, that would depend on the
ones taking the decision.
If they manage to conquer their fears...
Is not such a big deal. Death has always...
...been there and always will be...
In the end we all get there.
All of us. It is a part of us...
Why are they so surprised because
I say I want to die?
As if it is contagious...
If we finally go to trial,
they will ask you why...
...you don't seek alternatives
to your disability...
Why do you reject the wheel chair?
To accept the wheelchair
would be like accepting...
...breadcrumbs of what
used to be my freedom...
Look, you are sitting there,
less than 2 meters away...
What are 2 meters?
An insignificant trip
for any human being...
Well, for me, those 2 meters,
necessary to get to you...
...and being able to touch you,
is an impossible journey...
...a chimera, a dream...
That's why I want to die...
The three hours have passed, Ramon...
She has to change my posture...
Would you mind waiting downstairs?
He called us a year ago. He wanted
us to, literally, help him die...
I told him that we could provide
psychological help, legal support.
But we wouldn't put
the cyanide in his mouth...
He got very mad. He called us
liars. I had to hang the phone...
A few days later he
called again, more calm.
I was surprised at how decided he was...
- He has ever hesitated?
- Never...
That is very important...
- And how long has he been like this?
- 26 years...
His mother used to take
care of him but when...
...she died, his sister in law took over...
How do you feel?
Fine, this arm... A little higher...
I'm going to change the catheter...
- Not now Manuela
- Is just a moment. Let them wait...
She is married to
Jose, Ramon's brother...
They live of the farm and
And what do they think about this?
Ideas are free.
But I think that is not right...
But why not?
I want what's best for him. Everyone
in this house wants that...
Then why would he want to die?
I cannot get that into my head...
Is not rational, as he says...
I cannot give it to
him and I don't give...
...my authorization to
do it in this house...
Hello...
- Don't leave that there Javi!
- Oh come on mom!
Take it to your room...
Your uncle wants you
to check the machine...
- The bag...
- Yes!
- What's wrong?
- The roller is a little stuck...
- Didn't you have exam today?
- No. And the lawyer...
She is with Gen and
grandpa. He took them to the beach...
They might end up in
Corunna. With that head of him...
Don't talk like that
about your grandfather...
His mind is completely gone...
Of course, he is old, what do you want?
Well, that he stays out of the way...
He is all day at home...
As if we needed him.
What...
Look, one day... I don't know
when, maybe in a long time...
One day you are going to regret so
much, so much what you just said.
That you will want the
ground to swallow you...
- But why?
- One day, you'll see. One day...
Here the ocean is very treacherous.
Those who dare bathe in
it, have to be very careful...
My son jumped from here.
I don't know what he was thinking.
He jumped exactly when the water was...
...receding and he hit his
neck against the sand...
This is very very sad.
God wants him to keep on living.
But you know that he
doesn't want to live anymore...
But, he never told me
anything, he never told me...
...he never told me anything...
Look, we will win Heaven, because we...
...have spent our whole lives in Hell...
I tape this image so the judges or...
...politicians or
whoever has to decide...
...understand better...
Apparently they can't identify
with the psychological pain of the...
...person, then maybe this way they'll
understand that this is not life...
Why do you smile so much Ramon?
When you can't escape and
depend constantly on others...
You learn to cry by laughing...
