ELÍSABET BENAVENT, UN CUENTO PERFECTO
Mm...
[music ends]
I bet I'm the one
who spends the most time here.
- You been here before?
- [beep]
I come here every week.
[beep]
That's because I'm a writer.
[beep]
I've just published my novel.
This one? Everybody wants it.
No. No, you don't have it in stock.
I self-published.
Well, in digital format.
It is a bit risky,
but I think it allows me
to stay true to myself
- and to be...
- That'll be $32.90.
You want a bag?
No. No, no. Thank you.
Okay.
HI VALERIA FÉRRIZ!

If you have this number,
you'll get a free drink! You got 14?
- [Valeria] Seven.
- No, no, no, no. Number three! Yes!
- [Carmen] How many?
- The number of books I've sold? Three.
- It's pathetic.
- What did you expect?
- To be a bestseller after a week?
- Way to cheer me up.
Bear in mind, Borja and I
are a bit behind on the marketing plan.
He's still not answering the phone?
He doesn't even let it ring
and go to voicemail
or change his message to, "Hey, I'm busy."
- He just hangs up on me.
- [caller] 45.
Did she say 45?
- No, she said 55.
- I don't think I told you.
- You know I read your book.
- Check it.
- I want you to know I loved it so much.
- You're not just saying that?
Please. You made me look
like a friend who's a legend at f*cking.
- How could I not like it?
- [Nerea] I read it twice.
Are you serious? Is it because
you don't have money to buy more?
- That and because I could not put it down.
- But...
- [Nerea] What did she say?
- I read most of it in one go.
I have plenty of free time
since Borja stopped talking to me.
- [caller] Who can get all the numbers?
- Oh, great.
- What?
- Well, one, two and three.
- You guys are my only three sales.
- Wait, what about your family?
I haven't told them. Or Adrián.
Half of the book's about my infidelity.
He'd hate me forever.
You could say you used literary license.
I should've thought more
about publishing under a pseudonym.
Don't worry, nobody knows about your book.
- [caller] Let's go!
- Lola!
I mean for the time being.
- Be patient with the sales.
- [caller] Yeah! Yeah!
Sometimes we ask too much of ourselves.
- [caller] Let's see!
- [woman[ Hey! Hey! Hey!
- [Valeria laughing]
- Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
- [caller] 29!
- [Carmen] Can you hear that?
- The one number I don't have.
- It's not just a number. No.
It's the "age limit" for being successful.
- 29, you mean?
- Yeah, it's the reason you're stressed,
and why I'm not making progress
with my presentation.
- I'm way too drunk to follow you.
- No, I really mean it.
How long since you took a vacation? Huh?
How many job interviews
have you had this week?
Am I the only one feeling the pressure
to achieve success before I'm 30?
No, no. When you're 30,
they see you as a walking uterus.
I heard a colleague distinguishing between
women who are creators
and women who are procreators.
- Are you serious?
- As if you couldn't be both at once.
- [Lola] Or neither.
- Bingo!
- [caller] Did I hear "bingo"?
- [Carmen] No, no.
- No. No, put your hand down.
- We got it!
- It was just a mistake.
- Whoa! Bingo!
- There's a table free. Let's just sit.
- Oh, God, okay.
- Okay. Oh, we're going.
- I can't take you anywhere. Come on!
- [Nerea] Karaoke?
- Yes, please.
- [Valeria] What's that? Naked?
- [Lola] I'll finish the drink and go.
- [Valeria] Really, Lola?
- Well, maybe I'll just go topless.
I'm starving.
You ladies cool if we get dinner after?
I have a date from Hoop.
It's the new Tinder.
I don't think I could keep up
with all those apps.
Go with the flow, my friend.
- Ooh.
- [Valeria] Still no word from Sergio?
- I ghosted him, Valeria.
- But it's for the best, right?
I've got a date too.
Dinner with Víctor. Supposedly.
"Supposedly"?
[caller] This girl
is still in first place!
- What's on this?
- Curry.
No, but why? It's disgusting. [laughs]
I learned it in Berlin.
- Did you?
- Yes.
What else did you learn?
[both chuckling, kissing]
- It's starting.
- I don't care.
- We'll miss something very important.
- Mm. Are we, now?
Come with me.
This says it's like a ballet.
Yeah, it's a version of Swan Lake,
but they say it's like contemporary dance.
I mean, it's not a ballet with tutus,
it's more...
What? What's wrong?
You look so beautiful.
[Nerea] You need something like that.
- A f*ck buddy.
- Perfect if you don't want commitment.
You can skip
all those relationship mindfucks.
- Mm-hmm.
- [Valeria] Sure, absolutely. Yeah.
For sure. It's the good thing
about not having a relationship.
- Don't tell me you want a relationship.
- I never said that.
- [Nerea] You were thinking it.
- No way.
- She made that face.
- [Nerea] Yes! Like she's chopping onions.
- The yellow, intense ones.
- Allergy eyes.
- I do not do that.
- Oh, no?
Hey, it's Víctor, and I know him.
Don't expect Sunday brunch
or to share his Netflix.
No, I don't want that.
But I wonder if the
only thing we have in common is just sex.
I don't see the problem.
[Valeria] Well, it's new to me.
I'm just trying to figure out how to be in
a relationship that's, you know... flexible.
Oh, hey. Have you told your boss
about your new job offer?
- [all laughing]
- Whoo!
- Nice one.
- Now that's changing the subject.
- I'm just asking!
- [Carmen] Yeah, I already did.
- She's given me a new project with gyms.
- What the f*ck?
And, for your information,
I get a free aerial yoga class
and I can take whoever I'd like to go.
Oh, okay, look at that!
Now Val's flexible.
- No?
- [all laughing]
Wow.
[Valeria] Hold on.
Have we passed this second... I think so.
Yes, it was, like, after three streets...
So here, at the...
The third one. Ah, here.
Oh, look. Number 11. It's here.
- Wait.
- What?
- I love it when you smile like this.
- [chuckles]
- Mm. No, wait. I want to do something.
- I wanna do something too.
No, I wanna do something
that doesn't involve sex.
Or at least at the beginning of the date.
- Okay?
- Shall we go in, then?
- Yes.
- Do we have to?
- I don't know about this.
- What do you mean?
- What is this place?
- You'll see. It's a surprise.
I don't like surprises. Come on, tell me.
Just wait and see, okay?
I promise you'll enjoy it.
Um, do you see that girl?
- Mm-hmm.
- It's Luna Miguel. My favorite poet.
- I love poetry.
- You do?
I love these
cozy living room poetry readings.
People go to someone's house to listen
to her and nobody knows each other.
Okay.
- Víctor, soon you'll know my set by heart.
- I could never get tired of it.
- I told you I liked poetry.
- [sighs]
- Want something to eat?
- No.
So, you've been to this before.
It's a bit weird to come on your own.
- It's normally just couples.
- What, you mean like us?
Well, I was talking about... couples.
Macaroons! They took my advice.
It's amazing you know Luna Miguel.
You know,
I like discovering new things about you.
About us.
What we're like,
what we are...
- In no rush.
- But of course.
- Want some?
- Yes.
I mean, I love taking things slowly,
but also always knowing
where it is I'm headed.
[chuckles]
And that makes me wonder.
You and I...
[bell tinkles]
[man] The recital's
about to start, everyone.
- You and I...

- Lola, can you talk?
- In several languages.
- With you, it's another story.
- [sighs]
- I've been calling you all week.
- Stop telling lies.
- You haven't answered my messages.
- What messages?
Look, Sergio, seriously, it's done.
Stop trying.
- We don't have anything to talk about.
- [horn beeps]
Give me five minutes at least, no?
You had months. Sorry.
I left Marta. For you.
- [sighs]
- Because I wanna be with you.
You're just gonna leave
and not say anything?
Everything okay?
Yes, it's fine. Fine, fine.

"That I might believe in love?"

"That I love keeping sperm

"You ask me for a happy poem..."
I wanna be flexible,
but I would also like to know
where this is going.
- [Luna] "Or because whenever..."
- Hey, can we talk about this later?
It's just that later,
we never talk about it. All we do is f*ck.
- [woman] Shh!
- [Luna] "...important things..."
- Please?
- Sorry.
Come on. We're going to the back.
[Luna] "I read a book

- Oh, I stepped on your foot. Sorry.
- "... a song where two lovers break up..."
- [Víctor laughs]
- "...and feel nothing..."
- Don't laugh.
- "...my WhatsApp messages..."
- Don't laugh. I'm being serious.
We've been seeing each other for weeks,
and I didn't even know you liked poetry.
A few weeks after you started
seeing Adrián, you got married.
It wasn't exactly the best idea.
- Adrián has nothing to do with it.
- He has everything to do with it.
All you think about is where you're
coming from and going to,
- and you forget to enjoy the present.
- [applause]
[sighs]
How can I enjoy myself if
I don't know anything about you?
I have no idea
what your favorite thing to eat is.
Ceviche.
[Luna] "...because under the blanket..."
- Or how you take your coffee.
- Americano. No milk, no sugar.
- For real?
- Yep.
- I don't even know your birthday.
- It's actually next week.
[chuckles] Sure.
- Seriously. It's really next week.
- What? What are you...
- [Luna] "Today, I wake up..."
- You're a Libra?
- [woman] Shh!
- [man] Shh!
Sorry.
[Carmen] How old is he gonna be?
I have no idea.
I was so in shock, I didn't even ask.
- No. 35?
- Younger, no?
I don't know.
Light-colored eyes can trick you.
You gonna tell me how you're doing?
Well, as dry as the river Manzanares.
You know what makes me feel the worst?
I criticized Borja for his ideas,
but then, what do I have?
A promising future and a brilliant mind?
Yeah, one that can't come up
with a decent campaign.
Let me remind you that my shittiest moment
both professional and personal
inspired me to write Impostor.
Yeah, Val, but I need to sell
more than just three lipsticks, you know?
- [sneers]
- [sneers and laughs]
I sent Borja a message for him to buy
the book for the marketing campaign.
But, big surprise, he didn't answer.
IMPOSTOR, FOUR SALES
He just bought it.
Oh.
At least I know he's getting my messages.
Val, what are you gonna get Víctor?
The only thing I know about him is that
he likes ceviche and Americano coffee.
Please, I'm begging you, don't even think
about getting him a cookbook, okay?
If I knew what was going on,
I'd have picked something.
- Why does that matter?
- Oh, it matters.
Look, I could give him The Light Years,
but it's a saga.
Am I saying
I wanna give him all five of the books?
- That'd be like me proposing.
- A little bit. [chuckles]
I could go for a classic.
Pride and Prejudice?
But that wouldn't be sincere.
What I have with Víctor
is much... riskier. [sighs]
Do you prefer the film from '95
or the 2005 one?
[both in unison] Colin Firth!
- [both laugh]
- But it doesn't matter what you do,
a literary adaptation is
always going to get criticized.
Yeah.
Maybe I shouldn't give him anything.
That's what we have, nothing.
I think you should just get him any book
- and stop driving yourself crazy.
- No. It's not just a book.
Look, you're giving words,
intimacy, moments alone.
It's a message in and of itself.
- "A message in and of itself."
- Hmm.
Of course.
Of course! Moments!
It's a message in and of itself!
- Yeah?
- I love you. I need to go to work.
- What did I say?
- I love you so much. Thank you so much!
- You're supposed to help me!
- No, I can't!
What do you want?
Eh...

Helped you move on?
Picked up the pieces with you?
See you smile again
when you talk about guys?
It was my decision.
No! It was his decision.
That's the f*cking problem.
It's always his.
Are you listening to yourself?
You're criticizing him
for making decisions for me,
when you're doing exactly the same thing.
- You deserve better.
- Better?
Better than what?
I don't want someone better.

You can only accept pure perfection.

- Pardon?
- Yeah, I know how this goes.

and you're looking

But you know what?
- I've never been given anything for free.
- I don't doubt that.
- But I don't understand...
- I can't tell you

I've had this past month. [sighs]
I'm 29, and while my friends are wondering
when they're going to be successful,
I'm wondering
if I'll make it till next month.

I still say that about kundalini.
But I haven't had sex in days,

we'll start with some stretches.
We're going to place our left leg
in the swing and open up our right arm.
- [exhales]
- Sergio's left Marta.
[all] What?
He wants us to give it a try.
I'm exploring whether we can have
a relationship that's not toxic.
[teacher] Now let's swap legs.
At least you know
what kind of relationship you have.
I've gone from
meeting up with Víctor to f*ck
- to being invited to meet his parents.
- [all] What?
Shh.
- Sorry.
- He insisted it was just informal.
Informal is going to the movies
or getting laid.
Meeting the parents
is a whole different level.
[teacher] Now, we'll place the swing
in the back, behind our shoulder blades,
and then, very slowly,
we'll open up our chests nice and wide.
Carmen, do you know Borja's parents?
- [Carmen] Huh? No.
- It's for the best.
- Hey, wait. Why?
- Oh, you've just opened a can of worms.
I don't know why that's supposed to be
such a positive thing.
Family only causes fights
and problems at Christmas.
Ladies, silence.
Now, we're going to lean back
and open up our chests.
[all groaning]
God, I absolutely needed this today.
Oh, by the way, I got an email
from that job interview today.
- Was it good news?
- I doubt it.
I made such a scene,
I'm sure I didn't get it.
Hey, girls, isn't it dangerous
to hang like this?
- Really?
- They say it can f*ck up your balance.
You're lucky you've got good genes,
because fitness is not your thing at all.
- [scoffs]
- [teacher] OK, ladies.
- Now we're going to do the bat.
- The what?
We'll lean all the way back,
grab hold of the wing,
hook our legs around and let ourselves go.
- [grunting]
- [Valeria] Ugh.
Oh, sh*t. [grunting]
And you, Carmen, are you still inspired
by what I said for your ad campaign?
Uh-huh. "Makeup is a language.
Express yourself."
- Ooh! Now, that's my Carmen. [laughs]
- [Nerea] I mean, it sounds great.
But that means those of us
who can't do two matching eyes
have a communication problem.
Hey, girls, look.
I'm not such a loser at sports.
- I'm good at this.
- [teacher] We'll go back up very slowly.
Grab hold of the swing
and slowly pull yourself back up.

- Val!
- [Valeria groans] Yes.

[murmur of conversation]
- Hey, wait.
- I don't like being late.
Are you nervous?
You barely said a word on the car ride.
No, I'm not nervous.
You're not the first girl
I've brought to my parents' house.
[Valeria] Víctor.
- White, right?
- Yes, thanks.
I thought that it would be more intimate.
- It's also my twin sister's birthday.
- You have a twin sister?
Hey, Mom.
Darling.
- How's your day going, my love?
- Good. Yours?
Very well. We're a little tipsy.
Your father and I thought
it was a good idea
- to have a wine-tasting earlier.
- [Víctor] Oh!
- [Víctor's mother] Oh, is that Valeria?
- Yes.
[Víctor's mother] Valeria!
- Oh, my! So glad to finally meet you.
- Hello.
- Come here! [laughs]
- Oh!
You're so gorgeous.
- And you're beautiful.
- Well, please make yourself at home.
- And leave that. Choose a Rioja, okay?
- I will. Thanks so much.
- Come on. I'll introduce you.
- Okay.
Hey, your mom seems lovely.
Carol.
- This is my twin sister, Carolina.
- Hello, how are you?
So nice to meet you!
Congratulations on the baby
Eight months. I can't wait
to get this alien out of my body.
- Don't say that about my nephew.
- Shut it.
This is her husband, Peter.
Hello, there.
And that, over there, as you might
have guessed, is my father, Víctor.
I brought a little dessert pastry.
If I had known it was going to be
so many people, I'd have brought more.
- It's fine.
- No, it's perfect. Thank you, my dear.
- Okay. That's good.
- Aina?
She's my little sister.
- Well, Aina's late, as usual.
Okay, time to eat.
Go ahead and get seated.
- Come on!
- Come with me.
- Let's put this in the kitchen.
- Come on, everyone!
- No. Come on, Mom.
- I'll bring her back in a jiffy.
- Oh! Sorry.
- Mm. That looks very delicious.
Thank you.
- Can I help you?
- No, have a seat.
- A glass of Rioja? Okay?
- That sounds great.
- I'm so glad you came today with Víctor.
- [chuckles]
Yes. Víctor doesn't usually tell us
about many girls.
He told you about me?
Yes.
So much so
that I bought your book this morning.
You're the first person I don't know
who went out and bought my novel.
Am I?
Well, I won't be the last. You'll see.
- I've loved everything I've read so far.
- I want to read it too.
I really do, Valeria.
But I'm not sure I'm ready to know
what my brother's like in bed.
- I hope you understand.
- Well, he's amazing.
- Oh, Mom, stop it.
- At least, from what I've read...
k*ll me, please.
Don't worry. She's a sexologist.
You can't make her blush.
You did the right thing,
getting out of that marriage.
- Mom!
- Oh, Carol!
Listen to me. When sexual
relationships aren't satisfying,
that's a symptom of deeper problems.
That's how it is.
You heard it from a professional.
I never thought my first conversation
with Víctor's family
- would be about my sex life.
- [all laugh]
- Looks delicious. Can I?
- No, no.
- Hands off.
- Oh, okay. What are you talking about?
We were talking about
your sex scenes with Valeria in her book.
Yes, you know our mom.
Specifically, we were talking about
how I did the right thing leaving Adrián.
And who said you left him?
Well, we're separated.
You still wear your ring.
How about we take this out there?
We'll wait for you outside, okay?
- After you, Mom.
- Thank you.
[sighs]
What was all that about?
- It's just a piece of metal I wear.
- No, it's not.
It's a symbol.
Every time I see it, I see Adrián.
Adrián isn't a part of my life anymore.
Why didn't you tell me
he was at your place the other day?
Val, don't lie to me like you lied to him.
You could have told me instead of
making a scene in front of your mother.
I just wanted to avoid
an uncomfortable situation.
Uncomfortable for who? For you or for us?
Val, grow up.
Tell Adrián
once and for all that you and I...
- [scoffs]
- That you and I what?
- You know perfectly well.
- No, honestly, I have no f*cking idea.
Putting a name on something
doesn't make it better.
Tell me the truth.
Are you getting a divorce?
[laughs]
Wait a second, let me see if I get this.
You can't put a name
on whatever it is we are,
but you can demand
I put a name on what I have with Adrián.
Look, I'm trying to grow up,
but hanging out with babies
makes it pretty hard.
- With babies?
- Yes.
Happy birthday, Víctor.
I'm leaving, Aurora.
- Something's come up.
- Okay, okay. Don't worry.
Thank you.
Bye.
