Some are worth the bother.

Please!

They all want out while they can.

We already got what we wanted.

Now it's time to work!

Excuse me, Ren,

I don't mean to be a pain,

but what is this sh*t?

Are you selling chickens?

It's something else, Veronica.

Then, this is it.

NO, orange, NO, singing bird,

NON, petit arbre.

NO, mental age of 5.

No, it's not that.

Sh*t!

This.

NO, rainbow.

Almost. That one, yes.

Almost.

OK.

Something like...

Yes.

Looks good on you.

But we're going to win.

With that?

Yes. With that.

Sure.

Where were you, man?

I was at the station.

They want the title to be:

"Hair Salon Love."

No, that's really bad.

Really bad.

Too menopausal.

Can I have that?

Thank you.

You've got a lot of nerve.

This is going to make us famous.

A rainbow?

Yes, a rainbow.

But it's for faggots, isn't it?

No, I think it has to do

with the flag of the Mapuche people.

Gay Mapuches?

No, Mapuche Indians.

Do you know why you're paranoid?

Because you've got

homosexual communists

there in your office.

No Mr. Minister, in my office.

there are no homosexuals nor commies.

Don't worry about it.

No-one will see that propaganda.

You think?

Of course. Everyone will be sleeping.

I'm sleeping at that time.

Me too.

See? Everyone's sleeping.

Who's behind the NO campaign?

I don't know any of those people.

Who are they?

People too much at ease for me.

Be careful what you say, Guzman.

If I open that door

you have to close your eyes.

Give me that.

Stay here.

MARXIST TRAITOR:

Don't go out!

Carmen!

What are you doing?

What are you doing here?

Go to bed.

Go! This is a nice neighborhood.

Go to bed, Ma'am!

Go to bed, you old b*tch!

Brats.

Let's go inside, Carmen.

Did you see them? Do you know them?

I saw them up close.

What happened?

We were all threatened last night.

Not me, as no-one knows I'm here.

Why are you surprised?

They know where we live and work,

they know everything.

Calm down, we'll be fine.

The eyes of the world are watching us.

I've been being followed for ages.

It's normal that they follow us.

It means we're doing well.

We're getting to them.

We have to go to the theater.

The actors are waiting.

Let's go.

Let's go again! From the top!

Come on.

From the top.

This is a positive message, isn't it?

With happiness and...

Smiling... As much as you can.

We'll try.

Like "We Are The World". Up there.

No. Nothing like that!

No.

That was never...

No. Let's go.

It isn't a ring shining on your finger

It isn't the prince of the gypsies

It isn't the sword of a musketeer

It isn't a mystery for the sorcerer

I don't like it, no

I don't want it, no

I don't like it, no

I don't want it, no, no

I hate seeing him every day

I don't like his cold smile

I don't like his literature

I'm depressed by his mini-culture

I don't like it, no

I don't want it, no

I don't like it, no

I don't want it, no, no

His words and deeds bring nothing

He's no leader to follow

His words fail to move me

He simply cannot move me

I don't like it, no

I don't want it, no

I don't like it, no

I don't want it, no, no

The editing room is in back.

Action!

Action!

Don't think that he's indispensable

Don't think that he's eternal

Don't fluster me with nonsense

I don't like him in any way

I don't like it, no

I don't want it, no

Let's do the shot now.

Ready, Matas?

We got it.

Silence! Sound?

Rolling!

Camera?

Speed!

Action!

Isn't he too tall?

No, he's perfect.

I don't like it, no

What happened?

Fernando?

Get me some homemade bread...

It's weird.

There's nothing else right now.

No, but how...

Fernando, please.

Fernando, this looks good.

I don't care,

no one eats baguettes here.

It's fine. It's not a problem. It works.

It needs identity.

Is this a picnic to you?

What did we talk about?

People have to see themselves in it.

Please, it's lovely. It's fine.

It's great.

It looks nice.

Fernando, it's great.

Help me. Stop being a drag.

Hello, Pato, how are you?

Thank you for coming.

Hello, Patricio. How are you?

How are you, Pato?

Hello. Ren Saavedra.

How are you?

We'll mike you up.

Silence, we're going to roll.

Three...

Two...

One... Action!

We democrats are transparent.

We understand that government,

or "public affairs"

to the Romans,

interests us all

and should take place in public view.

I am trained in democracy.

Chilean democracy

made great efforts

to move our country forward,

to stimulate its growth,

for social justice...

Ren.

Ren.

What's up, man? Don't be childish.

You think they're ruining your campaign,

and we're losing votes?

What's up with you?

Nothing.

I think there is.

It doesn't belong to you.

They have the right to speak.

We've kept our mouths shut

for too long now.

Important people are involved.

It's a drag.

Action!

I'm the mother

of Alfredo Rojas Castaeda, disappeared

on March 4, 1975.

I'm the sister of Nicomedes Segundo.

I'm the wife of Enrique...

Newton Morales Saavedra...

...detained...

I'm the mother of Manuel...

Miguel Angel...

...disappeared...

I'm the sister of Ruperto Torres,

disappeared 13 October 1973.

You can decide

to never let this happen again.

No more disappearances.

It's good.

It's good, but a little ugly.

It doesn't fit with what we're doing.

We're using it, no matter what.

Why?

Because it's good.

Because it has content,

and we have 15 minutes to fill.

No matter what? Why that tone?

What tone?

Who makes the decisions here?

You're not the boss, you know.

I'm not arguing this bullshit.

What bullshit, motherf***er?

We're working. Take it easy!

This isn't personal!

My joy is different than yours.

Oh, really? What's mine then?

I don't know.

What happened here in the last 15 years

was never shown on TV

Doing that now is my joy.

Yes, but if it goes wrong,

it's going to look pathetic.

It works.

I got goosebumps.

It's visceral. I love it.

I'd put it in.

It's in then.

And what if we mention it's been

that is dissident?

Yes, of course. There's...

the greeting, right?

The slogan is "Happiness is coming."

"Chile, happiness is coming."

"Hello. Chile, happiness is coming."

No, actually...

"Chile, happiness is coming"

and "hello" after.

Weird, right?

Yes, but I think it works.

And then, "It's been 15 years since..."

Exactly.

We could try it once.

If not, we start over.

You're shooting it.

Perfect, thank you.

We'll do it then.

OK.

Rolling.

Mark.

Patricio Baados, take one.

And...

Action.

Chile, happiness is coming.

Hello.

For the first time in 15 years,

those who don't share

the official point of view

are talking to you

through their own TV show.

I am returning to my profession

that I was removed from.

15 minutes in 15 years isn't much.

Let's talk about that coming happiness.

Happiness is coming

Chile

Happiness is coming

Chile

Happiness is coming

They say what they like

I have freedom of thought

I feel that it's time

To find freedom

We're tired of the abuse
