Good morning...

- Does Ramon Sampedro lives here?

- Yes, what do you want?

I was taking a ride and

thought about visiting him...

I heard lots of people

come to see him...

Ok...

Just a little while...

My name is Rosa...

Come closer...

Where are you from?

Boiro. I came on my bike...

Oh God, I feel like such a fool...

Why?

Well, because I don't know what

to say. Since I don't know you...

Don't worry about that.

I can't do anything

else. Please, have a seat.

Why did you came?

You're not making it

easy. What do you do?

I work in a conserve factory...

...and Im also a radio host at

Radio Boiro, Wednesdays and Fridays...

- So, maybe Ive heard you sometime

- Yes?

But is only an amateur thing...

- No, you are pretty good

- Yes, apparently, eh?

The thing is to get started,

after that no one can stop me...

- I have 2 little sons

- Your husband?

- No. Well, yes, but we left him

- Are you alone now?

Let's see. I had a boyfriend,

the father of my youngest son...

...but he also left me, we left him.

So now Im alone but happy...

I was asking in case

I had any chance...

Why do you laugh?

Sorry...

It's ok, I was joking...

Besides, I don't think

Id be willing to take...

...on two children, I have

enough with my nephew

I saw you on TV the other day...

...hmmm... See, now we

are getting closer...

Closer to what?

To the reason why you came...

I heard what you said and then I

saw your eyes, that are really pretty...

Thanks...

And I thought, those eyes full of life!

Why would someone with

those eyes want to die...

Look, we all have

problems sometimes and we...

...don't have to run

away of them, you know?

- No, I don't run

away of my problems...

- Yes, of course you do.

That's why I wanted to come...

What for?

To give you reasons to live...

- To tell you that life...

- Life what?

Is worth it...

Let's see, did you came here

to see me or to convince me?

No, I came because I want

to be your friend Ramon...

If you want to be my friend, Rosa, you

should start by respecting my will...

How can you be so closed?

Don't judge me. Don't judge

me Rosa. Not in my own house...

Or do you want me to judge you?

Do you want me to judge you?

Why don't we talk about

the real reason you came...

Why don't we talk about the fact that

you are clearly a frustrated woman...

...that woke up this Saturday looking

for ways of giving reason to your own life...

Yes, run. You that can.

Thanks a lot. So you don't

want me to put you anything?

No, dear. Just stay

as cheerful. Good night...

Good night...

Well, it's 8:
45 and here

we are at Radio Boiro.

I remind you that you can

call and request your favorite song...

Before I continue... I

would like to dedicate the...

...next song to someone that

maybe is listening tonight...

I know he listens to the radio a lot...

I would love it for him to call

me someday and ask for a song...

Although I know he won't because...

...the last time we saw each other

we didn't end up in good terms...

But for what it's worth, Id

like to tell him I'm sorry...

I'm sorry I judged you Ramon, I

am such a fool and I can't help it...

Enough... For you my friend,

Ramon, "Negra Sombra" (Black Shadow)

- Yes?

- Hello...

Gen! How are you?

Well, still at the office. You

are giving us too much work, Ramon...

I'm just kidding...

Hey, the report was spectacular. We

have received a lot of support calls...

- This will be really great for the trial

- If you say so...

Oh, come on! You have

to improve that mood...

...otherwise we won't

be able to do anything...

- You knew we had to do this.

- Yes, I know, I know

Julia, the lawyer, wants to see

you again and this time for longer...

Has she fallen in love with me?

You wish handsome! Besides,

she is married...

No, she says she needs to know

you better to prepare the case...

That's what they all say...

Wait... 2 minutes and Im there...

Hey, did you know that the guy that

came with her wants to go out with me...

- Are you leaving me for a lawyer?

- No...

You are missing on it...

I see it quite well...

Your leg...

Well, yes... it moves...

Let's see... This is going to be easy.

You only need to answer

with your heart...

With the head, you mean...

With the head. You don't

mind if I record it, right?

Let's begin with your

youth, before your accident.

What did you do then?

Is that necessary? I

had forgot all about it.

Is your memory that bad?

No. I just thought we would

talk about my suicide demand...

We will Ramon. Is just that is very...

...important that the

judge identifies with you...

...and that he understands you.

For that I need to know who

is Ramon Sampedro and who he was...

That way, you will use

it against me later.

You are such a Galician!

- I'm your lawyer, Im on your side

- Ok...

When I was 19, I packed my

things and I went around the world...

I was doing that for a couple

of years, until the accident...

Wait, wait. You went around

the world with only 20 years?

You just don't know how. Ship mechanic.

I always tell my nephew. To travel

without money, become a sailor.

What?

Looking for proof?

No, is that I can't see a

single picture of you around here...

How were you in your younger years?

Why? Am I so ugly now, or what?

Ok, I won't ask you

anything else. That's it...

You don't like looking

into the past, right?

Of course not, I look into the future.

- And what is the future for you?

- Death, just like for you...

Don't you think about death? I'm

not the only one who thinks about it.

Yes, yes. Of course I think about it...

I just try that it doesn't

become my only thought...

Tomorrow is going to rain...

Tomorrow is going to rain...

I think he whistled...

- I didn't hear a thing

- Yes, he did...

- What do you want?

- The game already started...

But you know I don't like soccer...

Why don't you watch it downstairs...

Hey, if you want to convince me you...

...need to give me a

rational justification...

The "Depor" is playing...

That is not a rational justification...

- But it is important

- Why?

Because it is decisive for the league.

If they loose this one, they

can only make it to second place...

OK, turn it on...

- Can you see?

- Yes...

Did you hear him whistle too?

Ramon told me you

asked about the pictures...

Yes...

There's gotta be one somewhere...

I'll look for them tomorrow

Thanks...

If you need more blankets,

look in the closet...

In June, it is still cold at night...

Manuela...

- No, no, no

- Yes, yes, yes...

I cannot accept this, I can't...

Manuela, Im going to

stay a couple of days.

The least I can do is

contribute with something...

But added to the fact that

you are doing it for free...

I'm doing this because I

want to. Manuela, please...

Ok. Anything that you

need, please let me know

Thanks...

What are you plotting over there?

Nothing...

It's a shame you can't

see the sea from here...

Is better like that...
