My First Wedding Page #6

Synopsis: In "My First Wedding" ("Mi primera boda"), Jewish-born Adrián and Catholic-born Leonora have finally reached their wedding day. Instead of gracefully embracing matrimony, Adrián spends the hours leading up to the ceremony trying to postpone it, not because he's got cold feet (or does he?), but because he's clumsily lost both his and his bride-to-be's sacred wedding rings. Disaster ensues in director Ariel Winograd's winning comedy about the politics of the proverbial "Big Day."

He's not in the Torah.

And how do you know that

the Torah is complete?

In over 5000 years, some pages

could have been gone missing.

-It could be.

-You have to be very careful.

I'm sorry, you don't mind that

we talk about this. Right... son?

Yes. we can talk about it.

But I'm not your son.

Do I look like your son?

No. that's fine. It's a habit.

We are all brothers.

I'm just saying that maybe

we could be doing everything wrong...

just because we've lost

some pages.

We're definitely f***ed up.

I wouldn't put it that way.

Theology is quite broad.

No, I mean we're lost.

Oh.

We're f***ed up.

Leonora, Adrin... I wanted

to wish you the best.

But you decided to get married,

so I'm sorry for you.

And although I'm a married man,

I can still remember the times...

when I was alive.

-Well... the ring...

-Where are you going?

I can't tell you everything.

It is a surprise.

If you move, I'll kill you.

That's fine.

...and the groom puts

the shoes on the bride.

And the problem begins with

the name of the finger:

-it's the ring finger.

-It's vibrating.

-How can you escape from that?

-Hello?

Oh, yes.

It's from the chauffeur-service.

Yes. tell me.

Mom, I need to ask you two favors.

No problem.

Is there something wrong?

The first favor is not to ask me

any questions...

when I ask you the second favor.

-That's fine.

-I need your wedding ring.

-What for?

-Mom.

I'm sorry, son,

but I can't give it to you.

It's been stuck for years.

Look at it.

My fingers have swollen up,

I can't take it off.

-It's impossible to take it off.

-F***ing sh*t!

Can you tell me what's going on?

Do you need money?

No... mom, every-thing's fine.

Enjoy the show.

And then we have

the Jewish mothers...

Hello, grandma.

-How are you?

-I'm bad.

Can you believe it?

That old man deserves to die.

-And your ring?

-I don't have it.

Your grandpa took it off.

And I did it too.

Do you think it's fair to throw away

-for a crazy old man?

-You'll get him back in two weeks.

I don't know what's worse.

She won't stop, ever.

One day I stopped her

and asked her:

"Mom, why do you answer

all my questions...

with another question?"

"Do I do that? When?

What are you talking about?"

I'm sorry... can I borrow that

for a moment?

-What?

-Come here.

I'll give it back.

Oh, no, please give it back

afterwards.

-Have you found anything?

-No. Look at this.

Leave that, Fede.

Put these on.

What's that?

What's going on?

-Get inside.

-What? No, my suit.

So?

So?

-That's right, Fede! I have one!

-Just a joke.

Give it to me.

You don't mess with this.

Now I have to find the

other one, Leonora's,

-the most important one.

-And your plan?

My plan is working.

But we'll need a plan B.

Guys, come here.

Can you do me a favor?

Don't ask any questions.

Leo found out about

the prostitute.

-What?

-Don't talk nonsense.

I'm going to need a ring

or something similar.

You'll have to get it

inside the party.

Do whatever it takes.

Whatever it takes.

Whatever it takes?

-When we went to the park...

-No. thanks.

-Do you remember that time?

-Yes, it was amazing.

Can you tell me why do you

have that expression?

Nothing will please you, right?

You wanted a big wedding.

Here's the big wedding.

-What's the problem now?

-You are the problem, mother.

Me?

Don't you have

someone to talk to?

I will find someone to talk

to because it's impossible...

to talk to you.

Let me tell you one thing.

Adrin could be many things...

but it's hard to find

a man like that.

And a woman like me?

Between you and me,

we both know...

that you have nothing

out of the ordinary.

We are very much alike.

But don't worry..

I'm not married yet.

Did Adrin change his mind?

No. mother.

I changed my mind.

I don't believe you.

With the exception

of some awful details...

this is a fun wedding.

It's fun.

I like it.

-Excuse me. Leonora.

-Tell me.

In 10 minutes we'll begin

with the garters.

-Where's the groom?

-Mara, will you do me a favor?

-And please don't take it personal.

-Yes, sure.

Stop asking about

my f***ing groom.

The b*tch asked me if

Adrin changed his mind.

That's the only possibility

she could think of.

Loosen my dress up.

It's killing me.

Alright.

So? How's your romance?

I've seen you talking.

But so far... she's only

been talking about your ex.

She's telling me how smart he is,

and that he loves Tantric sex.

You never told me Miguel ngel

traveled so much.

He was an interesting guy

for you.

Yes. he was.

Right now I'm trying to marry

another guy.

Yeah. Lala is lovely.

She has an old-fashioned face.

I think she's not

interested in me...

because Miguel ngel

is such a sophisticated man.

He's very sensitive

and extremely funny.

He doesn't seem to be a man.

And he's also very good looking.

You can't deny that.

Why did you leave him?

I don't remember.

Do you remember

that you are my friend?

-Are you alright?

-I don't know.

Are you in love?

Why do you ask me that?

Of course I'm in love,

but I'm not sure he is...

because I haven't seen him today.

I love him.

It doesn't seem obvious

because every time I talk...

about Miguel ngel, you change

your expression.

I'm getting married to a guy

that's not here.

I don't want to bring you down

because you are already here..

but I always thought

Adrin was dumb.

And you are twice as dumb.

Why do you say that?

My head is gone. I'm sorry.

-Hello?

-Hello.

-This is the chauffeur speaking.

-Why are you not here yet?

We're a bit delayed,

I've done everything that

the guy told me.

I went right through

the road of ranches...

and after the bridge I turned left.

You turned left?

-No, you had to turn right.

-But he told me to turn left.

No... it was to the right.

Listen to me.

After the bridge,

you have to turn right.

After 1 mile,

you'll reach the asphalt.

That's where you have to turn left.

Follow the path

and you'll reach us.

OK. But when I get there,

we have to talk.

I need to talk about

the extra costs.

I need to polish the car

and clean up the chassis.

I'll pay you anything

you want, but hurry up.

I'm going to kill him!

-Rock... paper, scissors.

-Rock... paper, scissors.

This is unbelievable.

Think about what

Moses had to go through...

to reach the Promised Land.

But I don't believe in God.

-Rock... paper, scissors.

-Rock... paper, scissors.

-Oh... it's my luck.

-Oh my f***ing God!

Rock, paper, scissors.

Eliana, do you have a minute?

I have a march...

Have you seen Adrin?

The Chinese guy

is looking for you.

My darling... you look beautiful.

Every-thing's just so tight.

Hey, does this dress

has to be unbuttoned?

You have good b*obs.

-They will fall soon enough.

-Thank you.

-Have you seen Adrin?

-No.

-Have you seen Adrin?

-No.

Is something wrong?

Do you need money?

No, I need Adrin.

He's been doing weird things

the whole day...

and now he's gone.

He has always done

weird things.

When he was a boy, he threw
