- See how well my son drows.

- No, yo no tomo alcohol.

- Hoy toms. Ya sos grande.

Ramiro!

Algo hay que tener en la sangre.

Dale, con ganas.

I don't drink.

Tonight you will. You're old enough.

It wont hurt him

Drink up

Don't drink if you don't want to.

- It's not a big deal.

- Yes its a big deal.

We moved to be away from

certain kinds of people.

And now we're all sitting

round the same table .

O yes... Give it to me baby.

Take this and this.

Again, again.

- You've done it already.

- How d'you know?

I can tell.

With my cousin.

Five times.

I didn't want to at first.

I didn't like it.

He said we weren't going all the way.

Just half way.

We ended up going all the way

It didn't hurt much.

Put this on Alex.

I'll put the spare matress here.

On the floor.

Or Alex goes home.

Go to sleep, It's late.

Give it to me baby....

I have a special bottle of liquor.

I'm going to bed.

We're all going to bed.

Don't. I'll be right back.

- What's the matter

- i found them together.

- Who?

- Alex and lvaro.

- What do you mean?

- Together.

- Doing what?

- Don't know, I walked away... On top

- What?

- She was on top.

I don't understand.

She was f***ing the boy up the ass.

Clear enough?

It was bound to hapen.

That's enough Kraken.

We knew this would happen.

She can't stay a woman.

What do you mean "normal"?

- What?

- You said normal.

I didn't say anything.

Don't build your hopes up.

She'll never be a woman,

even if a surgeon cuts off

what she doesn't need.

When did you tell them?

That's why they're here?

I just wanted them to meet her.

I'm not crazy.

You talk to him.

What if seh wants to?

Sorry.

- What do you want? Are you a doctor.

- No.

A journalist?

I have a daughter. A son...

I've seen you before.

You've been here before, right?

Yes.

I don't usually drink but

it will do us both good.

Your son?

Adopted.

We're doing the paperwork

to adopt a girl.

The perfect family.

- How old is Alex?

- 15.

Want to see me at her age?

If you don't mind...

That's me at 12.

keep it.

Give it to Alex.

- Did you always know?

- That I wasn't a woman?

I still wonder how my life

would've been without the operation.

How was your transformation

from amn to woman ?

When I was 16 I started

taking testosterone

At 17 I had surgery.

That same year I changed my name...

I met my wife six months later.

The rest of my life

is sleeping in that bed.

What if I got it all wrong?

By letting her choose?

Do you know what my

earliest memories are?

Medical examinations.

I rhought I was so horrible

when I was born

that I had to have five operations

before my first birthday.

That's what they call "normalization".

It's not surgery. It's castration.

Making her afraid of her own body...

is the worst thing

you can do to your child.

What are you doing?

- You're looking at me differently.

- You're older.

Then you could've told me

why these people came to visit.

I didn't know.

- Are you coming with me?

- No, I want to walk for a while.

Alex!

Alex.

I don't understand.

- You're not?

- I'm both.

But that's impossible.

You tell me what is and isn't possible?

But do you like boys or girls?

I don't know.

Sorry about what I did to you.

You didn't do anything.

I'm not upset... I liked it.

- Really?

- Yes.

- So did I.

- You did?

- Then let's finish it.

- Never with you!

- Why?

- I want something else.

- I want something else too.

- Oh, yeah? What do you want

What do you want?

- Alex, it'll be our secret.

- Liar.

- I wont tell enybody.

- Get off.

Go tell everybody I'm a monster!

Alex!

Where's Alex?

What are you doing here?

I told you not to come here.

- Where is she?

- Beat it, Vando.

Your father's in real trouble.

Motor lancha.

Alex!

Alex!

Wait up

Wait, wait .

Come on

Come on over here.

Don't worry.

Calm down.

We're not going to hurt you.

Take it easy.

Please!

Quiet. We're not gonna hurt you.

Calm down

Let go of me! Please!

B*tch!

Take it easy, stay still!

Take it easy.

- Please let me go.

- It's alright, I just want to see.

Let me see.

Let me see what you've got

down there

What have you got?

We're not hurting you

It's a prick.

- No way.

- She's got both!

She's got both.

- It's gross.

- No way, it's great.

Do you get hard?

Let me see.

Do you get hard?

Answer him. Do you get hard?

I want to see if it works.

Let go of her!

Get out of here, a**hole!

- We didn't do anything.

- Beat it!

Beat it!

- Does it hurt?

- No.

- Did they hurt you elsewhere?

- No!

- I'll take her to the hospital.

- I don't want anyone to touch her.

- Calm down. It'll be alright.

- It won't be alright?

Come here.

Let go of me!

Stay away from my daughter?

- Enough. You'll kill him.

- Enough? You say it's enough?

You're just like them. Worse!

Stay away from my son...

Just agree to the surgery.

It's not too late.

You can't hide her

for the rest of her life.

Hide her?

- You think she's a freak?

- No!

We came here to stop hearing

every idiot's opinion.

I've had enough.

I've had enough pills...

enough operations.

I want things to stay the same.

She was diagnosed 2 months

before being born.

They wanted to film the birth.

For "medical interest",and to present

the case to the ethics council.

We said no, to all of it.

Alex was born blue...

She took 40 seconds to start breathing.

Then, they wanted to operate.

they said the only after-effect...

would be the scar.

Suli was scarred.

I convinced her not to do anything.

She was perfect...

From the moment I set eyes on her.

Perfect.

Forget her.

She's too much for you.

I can't leave yet.

I want to speak to him.

We have to leave.

Go fetch your son.

You'll catch a cold.

- May I?

- Yes.

- I thought you didn't drink?

- You told me I have to drink.

- Do you like me?

- You're my son.

Let's cut the crap

and talk seriously.

kind of.

What about me? Do you like me?

Do you like what I do?

I'd give anything

to have your talent.

And... me.. am I talented?

No.

Maybe...

Do you think one day?

Do you think that I...

No, I don't.

I don't get it.

It wasn't always this way.

- What way?

- When did I stop interest you?

It was a bad idea to come.

Your mother is right.

We're leaving

- When?

- Now. At dawn.

- No. I can't leave yet.

- Why not?

Do you like Alex?

Finally good news.

I was afraid you were a fag.

What are you doing?

looking after you.

You can't look after me for ever.

Until you can choose.

- What?

- Whatever you want.

What if there isn't

a decision to make?

I've finished it.

- Did they hurt you?

- No.

Did you go to the police?

No, that's your decision.

We'll press charges if you want,

but it's your decision.

Everybody'll find out.

Let them.

- Have a good trip.

- Thanks.

I'll be right back.

Will I see you again?

I don't think so.

Look.

I never imagined I'd fall

for someone like you.

But it happened.

- Me too.

- No.

No?

You're after something else.

No.

What do you regret the most?
