It's a critical

decision, anyway.

Yes, indeed.

I trust no photographer.

I must be very careful with'em.

Can I trust you?

Of course.

You swear?

Why me?

Because, if I am

your dream...

you are mine.

Amy stands beside

the door.

Chapter 1...

something floating...

Hi... Good morning.

- What are you doing now?

- I'm gonna take a shower.

You're so sweet. But,

you must leave soon.

- How soon?

- Very soon.

That soon?

- That was it, right?

- Is that what you believe?

Ok...

- What are we gonna do now?

- Think of something.

Think of something...

Thanks.

You got a light?

No, sorry. I just

gave away my lighter.

Amy, hi...

SEE YOU AT 1A.M.

You're back already?

- How did it go?

- Fine.

Are you hungry? Do you want me to

order breakfast? What?

Yes please.

- What have I done last night?

- I was painting. I slept early...

- May I see what you've painted?

- Now?

Later maybe. I gave some thought in what am I

gonna do with my novel.

- I found the exact problem of the

basic character. -Wonderful.

- What are you doing today?

- I don't know. Maybe go walk a bit.

Hello, room 1235...

What do you wanna eat?

Full breakfast.

Yes, I want full breakfast.

I'm going to get dressed.

Thanks.

ALEX - AT HIS HOME

Good morning.

I'm sorry Ms. Banum.

Can I help you?

- No, why?

- They look heavy...

No, as you can see by yourself,

I'm managing just fine.

- Who is it?

- Alex.

- Who?

- Alex, from upstairs.

Sorry, I can't hear you.

The door is sound-proof.

Who you said you are?

I am Alex.

I just wanted to say

that I can't get inside.

Inside the apartment. What's

wrong? Are they doing any repair stuff?

Repair stuff?

What do you mean?

I cannot enter

my apartment.

There is no door.

Maybe it's my fault, but I don't have

a clue about what you're talking.

It's difficult to understand it myself.

There is no door up there.

- What do you mean "up there"?

- In my apartment.

Which apartment?

Ms. Banum, I live right above

you house.

In the attic? Who gave permission

to do such a thing?

Excuse me, did Simon told

you to do this?

- Who?

- Simon, my girlfriend.

For Christ sake.

I must go.

I see you have guests. Goodbye.

Only that...

We may have to

leave today.

I'm not so well.

I'm not in the mood for any more lectures.

I'll probably cancel'em, all.

Really? Is that possible?

Of course it's possible.

- I thought it was important.

- It is, but I don't

wanna stuck here forever.

Don't you wanna leave with me? Let's

just stay alone, have a little chat.

You really mean that?

- Yes, I do.

- And why's that? All of a sudden?

It's because I wanna be

with you. Ain't that enough?

No, not at this moment.

But we talked about this before.

I've already told you twice.

No, but...

I'm coming downstairs. Hi.

Was that Monica?

I'm going to talk to her.

We'll leave soon after.

We'll leave.

One moment.

Hi, Lio. Have you got 100 Corones for the

cab? I don't have any money.

- Am I interrupting something? Is Nan inside?

- No you're not and she's inside.

One moment.

Come in.

Hi.

Are you eating, little one?

- Are you all right?

- Yeah, we were just playing.

My door disappeared.

I have no door.

Have you talked to Simon?

Something outrageous happened.

It's a crazy story.

- When I got home...

- You got any money, dear?

Should I take the Mercedes, so

you can talk to your friend?

Sorry, I didn't get your name?

What?

What do you mean?

- But... your friend.

- You mean, your friend.

I don't get it.

What's wrong?

- My love, this is for you.

- For me?

I don't know him.

Wait. I must pay for the cab.

Maybe you have 100 corones?

I won't be late.

I only have 50.

What are you looking for here?

- Hasn't Simon told you anything?

- I don't know what you're

talkin about. Go away.

- Are you serious?

- I don't remember you. I'm sorry.

Oh man, get a life.

- Have you talked to Simon?

- Please, go away.

It's time for you to go.

listen, pal, get the f*** away from me!

I am you pal.

You know something? You're gonna get hurt,

if you don't leave now.

Hi...

Of course. I understand

Nah, it's ok.

I'm going for a walk.

No, it's ok.

Really, August.

See you around.

What the hell are you doing?

Why are you doing this? Just

because you missed me for one night?

- What have I done?

- I don't know. I'm sorry.

You're so stupid. Here you are.

I'll take my stuff by Monday, so

I can enter my home again.

One moment!

- These ain't my stuff!

- Listen, I'm totally...

I just don't get it.

I know I behaved foolish

and I'm sorry, really.

Simon, please stop it!

I am really, truly sorry, but

this is the first time I see you.

Where do you think you

know me from?

- You are my girlfriend!

- Your girlfriend?

You are my girlfriend,

you're 28...

from Stockholm. You have 2

brothers, Khale and Ghorme.

- How do you know all these things?

- Cause you told'em to me.

Listen, we love each other...

I'm sorry, I have

to go. Bye.

Hello? Hi, it's me.

- Get up!

- What happened? I am your son!

My name is Alex David.

I had a very strange day.

That's why... I need you.

You understand me, of course.

You're my father.

You are crazy.

Dad, listen to me!

Whatever happens, I love you.

What's all this bullshit?

Go away! I mean it!

- May I help you, sir?

- A table for two please.

Of course, this way please.

- Thanks. And the bathroom?

- That way.

That door.

Nothing's wrong Alex.

Nothing.

Everything will go just fine.

You'll go out and

she'll be waiting for you there.

So, you finally made it.

I'm very happy.

Wonderful...

- Is there something wrong?

- No, everything is fine.

- We got a table over there.

All right. I'm sorry.

Thank you...

Are you ready?

here we go.

- How many more interviews?

- Not that many. Only 3.

- Good.

- Is there something wrong?

No, on the contrary.

I'm sorry to be asking this, but

is she related with Alex?

I haven't seen her at all.

No, she moved to the city.

She came only to see me.

I suppose she doesn't have the time

of her life, but...

Nothing. Let's go.

I'm going outside to have a look.

Excuse me.

Can you ask that gentleman

if I can sit with him?

Of course.

Excuse me. That lady asks

if she can sit with you.

That one?

- She's welcome.

- I'll tell her so.

You are welcome

to join me.

May I?

Please do.

My name is Amy.

Alex.

You seemed so nice and

I thought you might needed some company.

- Of course.

- Are you hungry?

Yes, I havent eaten a proper lunch.

- Nice lighter.

- I have it always with me.

- You come here often?

- No, I wouldn't say so.

- So, noone knows you here?

- No. What's your point?

I was just wondering about this place.

If you come here often.

- What would you prefer?

- I don't know.

Either we sit here and

watch the menu...

even if it's not needed,

because we already know what we want...

We order, they bring us the food,

nice dices, as always...

We chat a bit, we listen...

maybe not.

We're not bored, but we feel
