A light aircraft

with a big sing saying:

"The new cuisine is called Sofia".

What do you think?

It's great!

The best idea in your life!

Excuse me.

There are three clients.

- They're French.

- OK, Elena, I'll go see.

One of them says he's here

to see a miracle.

It's Andre! It's Andre!

- That one is Andre. And the others?

- One is a critic for Restaurant

- Is that important?

- Very important. What's the time?

- Quarter to ten.

- OK.

- We can still save it.

- What?

We can make it look successful.

Go out and come back as a client.

Change and go with him.

Ask your dad

and Sofia's parents to come.

- Who'll take care of the children?

- They can bring them here.

Come on! We need to hurry, OK?

Tasting menu:
2 snacks,

and two deserts, OK?

Sofia, full attention, full.

- OK. Shouldn't I say hello?

- No, not until the miracle works.

Don't kiss Sofia

in front of the people.

Yes, I'm sorry.

- How am I?

- Fine, you're fine.

Sorry, I'm f***ing nervous.

Marc, full attention.

Come on, boil the asparagus.

You sell it unlabeled?

How daring.

Frank says you can come out.

Ramon, let's get our savings

- and help the children.

- Are you drunk?

Now it's clear to me.

Your daughter is an artist.

- Well, I'm leaving.

- Where are you going?

Stay, we can have a drink and chat.

- No.

- I'm so nervous. I can't sleep.

- No, I'd better leave.

- Why? Why better? Come

I have no gas, if I'm late

for the gas station...

Stay the night.

No, not at your place.

Why not?

- Why not?

- Just because, Sofia. No.

There are two extra rooms.

It's his call.

He can lend you his pajamas.

F*** off, Sofia, f*** off.

Come on, take the baby inside

and let's go to bed.

- We'll put the children to bed. Sorry.

- Here.

Frank...

Today you did something amazing.

I swear I saw the dishes and...

There were new things,

things you improvised and...

It's been incredible.

You should have seen people's faces.

You're... You're very good.

Very good.

Not only good,

you're over anything else.

Frank...

!

- Stay.

- Stop it.

I can remember your mum:

"Bravo, bravo!".

Sis months later it's impossible

to find a table at the restaurant.

On who's name?

Sofia starts cooking

with absolute freedom.

In a natural way she merges

natural, traditional ?avors

with unexpected avangarde ideas.

SOFIA IS A B*TCH

But as her kitchen's reputation

grows, so does her bedroom's.

- Get out of my restaurant!

- What's wrong?

Out of my restaurant!

F*** off!

Rumors spread

and innocent people suffer.

Sons of a b*tch!

Mum?

Dad?

My head aches.

What's the matter, baby?

He has a fever.

- I'll call the doctor.

- No, let's go to the hospital.

- Should I take some clothes?

- Yes. I'll give him a cold bath.

I'll bring the car!

Frank, the keys!

Are you OK?

Don't worry, it's all right.

They though it was meningitis,

but it's not.

Where is he?

On room 125,

he'll stay until tomorrow.

- Where are Mario and Jesus?

- At the Kindergarten.

- And him?

- My ear is buzzing.

- He was home.

- At six in the morning?

- He was sleeping.

- He sometimes stays over.

Come here.

When is he going to have

his own place?

Stop it, mum!

- The whole town talks about it.

- They're jealous.

They can't stand our success.

- Don't you think of your children?

- They have all the love they need.

Don't they, Toni?

Until they grow up and find out

what's going on.

Every couple is different,

and you know that better than anyone.

I've been through a lot for you!

Through a lot!

Dad...

Dad, I'm sorry.

I'll go smoke.

You need to fix this.

Frank needs to find a place

and the children need to know

who their father is.

Understood?

But it doesn't need to affect you.

It's going to kill our relationship

as I know it.

I keep telling you

there's a season for everything.

- I'm not interested.

- Wait.

I am.

- Monday is your free day.

- Yes.

You can always have Mondays.

- I bought the hotel.

- What?

But...

You're crazy, man!

Who would buy a house

when you can have a hotel?

I love hotels.

Is this all for us?

dining room, kitchen

and bar full of alcohol.

You're a son of a b*tch.

What should I get her now?

Buckingham palace?

We have all we want, don't we'?

You want more.

No, I don't!

- Promise this'll last forever.

- You're being silly.

You're being silly. Very silly.

Tell me it'll last forever.

Here.

Monday is the best day of the week.

A day to stay in bed.

A day to sunbathe.

A day to stay in bed.

A day to be 20 again.

A day to stay in bed.

Sofia's kitchen goes sky-high

The family goes on holidays.

Frank doesn't

He increases business.

A picture!

Hello, my love.

- I need to pee. How's everything?

- Fine, fine.

Two stories, very nice place

You'll go and settle things.

- Perfect. Did you bring presents?

- Yes. Two kimonos.

I'll make martinis.

- Toni...

- What?

It's a special day, today.

- It's not a normal Monday.

- Why?

It's our 100th Monday.

- Did you change your perfume?

- Yes, it's a present.

- I liked the other best.

- My stomach hurts.

Frank,

we've been hinted we're getting

a second star.

It'll be on the 2001 guide.

Well,

Sofia is ecstatic,

but you know her,

she says we need

to get the third one.

When you're not there,

her sugar level goes up,

she can't stop.

She smells and tastes everything...

You're setting an extra place.

There'll be four of us.

- Four?

- Four.

You're dirty, man.

I'm fine with that,

but Sofia might not like it.

Not four. Two couples.

Two couples which won't mix.

What?

I met someone.

Does Sofia know?

What does Sofia have to know?

What is it?

You've been out for three weeks,

it's been unbearable.

Tell us for you too.

You're very serious.

What's the matter?

You're wearing a new perfume.

Who is that?

What's going on?

I'll get it.

- Hello.

- Hello!

- Are you Sofia?

- Sofia.

I'm Hoshi. It means "star"

in Japanese.

We wanted a star, and we got one.

- Pleased to meet you.

- My pleasure, come on in.

Thanks.

- Hello.

- Hello, how are you'? Toni.

- Hoshi, nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

Hello, my love.

I'll go get changed.

I'll make one more martini.

Later...

- When were you going to tell me?

- So that you can get upset?

No. So that you can tell me

you don't love me any more.

- It's not that.

- It isn't.

I'm 39, Sofia, 39.

- And I don't have anything.

- We have the same.

No, you have a name,

prestige, everything.

You don't need me any more.

I never said I don't.

You're the one saying

you don't need me.

And you have Toni.

You'll grow old together.

Don't you have him?

- Aren't we your family?

- No, no.

I'm uncle Frank, a relative.

What I'm saving won't go to anyone.

And you have three children.

And you have one.

One's yours, Frank.

Don't f*** with me.

- One's yours.

- Which one?

- Which one could be?

- Alex.

Alex.

I don't believe it.

I remember it all, you said...

- I was upset with you and lied.

- Why would you tell me now?
