[Greta] This girl is good, huh?

Allegra? What are you doing here?

I want to be "Ellie," the lead in
Freaky Friday, just like Grandma.

I don't want to hear you talk
about Cocó ever again.

-[horn honks]
-[crash, glass shattering]

[Allegra] I wish I could change
what happened. [grunts]

[bracelet whirring]

[gasps]

[Cocó] Caterina, stop dillydallying.

-That's my specialty.
-[whispering] Mom?

-[Caterina] ...stop by the video store.
-Cocó?

I've asked you a thousand times
not to call me "Amelia" anymore.

I'm Cocó, Mom. Cocó Sharp.

[Allegra] Lucía. My great-grandmother.

[Lucía] Ever since I saw you,
your face has looked familiar to me.

But it took seeing the bracelet
to understand.

See these knots? When the last one
is untied, your travels are over.

The most important thing to remember

is that this isn't your place
or your time, Allegra.

Laura. Where did you go?

LAURA ISN'T HERE

Whoa!
Truth is stranger than fiction. Get it?

You disappeared into thin air. Poof.

What was that?

I think that each time I return
from the past, a knot unties.

-The role of "Ellie" has to be yours.
-I'll give it my best.

-Did you hurt yourself?
-No, it was just a bump.

I can't believe you're here.

[Allegra] Why did you never tell me
you were a part of Eleven O'Clock?

My mom loved Cocó.

Something happened to cause her
to separate from my grandmother for good.

Maybe it's to do with
what happened on opening day.

[Allegra] That night I lost everything.
I lost my friend. I lost my boyfriend.

And I lost my mom.

My mom is strict.

It's the same with my dad.
We don't get along.

I'm writing a new song and I thought
maybe you might want to listen to it.

I don't really like
for you to do those things.

All he cares about
is that I do what he wants.

-It's exhausting.
-Exhausting.

-Diego?
-What is that?

Diego is Marco's friend.
And they have a band together.

Marco was a good friend.

-And what happened to him?
-Honestly, I don't know.

[gasps]

-You think it's too much of a coincidence?
-[Félix] What?

[Allegra]
Marco's grave. The destroyed theater.

-[shouts]
-I know you. Bárbara Diz?

[Bárbara] I stored some things away
so the police wouldn't take them.

I still have the rights to the play.

But there's one problem.
I already signed with Tomás.

[Mike] That doesn't have to be an issue.

All we need is a stroke of luck.

Wait for me at home. If I don't make it
for some reason, find Lucía.

Caterina's grandmother.
She'll explain it to you.

A university degree,
a sure future at the finance agency.

-All handed to you...
-But I don't want that!

Don't you understand I never wanted that?
Can you listen to the music?

-It's the only way you can understand me.
-You will stop that!

This is a song by Marco.
His dad lent it to me.

He's kept it since opening night
when they got into that fight.

eleven O'CLOCK

Marco!

-[coughs]
-Let's go.

No, we have to go. It's on fire. Let's go.

No, no, no. Please, not now.

[Lucía] No one without the bracelet
can cross the time barrier.

[gasps]

[crying]

Are you okay?

But... Wait. So, there was never a version
of '94 without you?

I wasn't changing the past.
That was always the past.

I have a proposal.

[reporter] We're here at the reopening
of Tomás Diz's old theater,

after the fire.

And with nothing more
and nothing less than

the return of Cocó Sharp to the stage.

-And she won't be alone.
-[crowd cheers]

[pants]

[ticking]

[people clamoring in distance]

-[sirens wailing]
-[clamoring continues]

[sirens, clamoring fade]

[ticking stops]

[panting]

-You will stop that!
-[Allegra gasps]

[doorbell buzzes]

[Lucía] I'm coming.

I'm coming!

Lucía, it's Marco, Laura's friend.
Let me in, please.

She told me to come see you,
that you would explain.

All right. Well, try to calm down.

No, I can't calm down.
I saw her floating in the air, Lucía.

-You weren't supposed to see that.
-Where is she?

She's fine. Go home.

-How do you know she's okay?
-Because she's where she needs to be.

Where?

In her time.

In the future.

You have to forget what you saw.

Please do as I say and go home.

I saw a light come out of her bracelet.

Laura told me you would explain.
What's with the bracelet?

-I don't know what bracelet you mean.
-Don't lie to me.

She's here, isn't she?

-Marco...
-I'm not leaving until I find her.

I'm going to show you
and tell you everything.

But promise me that you'll then go home

and you'll forget
everything that's happened.

Yes, I promise.

-Yes, that's it.
-No, you can't.

It doesn't work like that.

The bracelet has its rules. You can't...

-What are you doing? Marco, no.
-[grunts]

You won't be able to open it. Marco!

[grunts]

I want to go to her.

[gasps] No, that's very dangerous. No!

[bracelet whirring]

[whirring intensifies]

[shatters]

[whimpers, cries]

[gasps]

[exhales]

[bracelet whirring]

[whirring continues]

[groans]

[exhales deeply]

[groans]

Lucía?

Laura?

LAURA ISN'T HERE

-Hello.
-[electronic voice] Hello.

-How can I help you?
-Lucía?

-[device beeps]
-Here's what I found.

Lucía, female given name of Latin origin.

Meaning: brilliant or gleaming.

Lucía, sushi restaurant,
Corrientes Avenue, 72844.

What year am I in?

-[device beeps]
-We are in the year 2021.

-What day is today?
-Reminders for today.

Opening of Light Years at 7:00 p.m.
at Sharp Stage Theater,

previously called Eleven O'Clock Theater.

INTERTWINED

[crowd cheering, applauding]

[panting]

[people chattering]

-[fan 1] It's Allegra.
-[fan 2] It's Allegra! How are you?

[shutters clicking]

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[gasps, chuckles]

[inhales sharply]

You survived.

-Laura, I can't...
-Uh, Allegra.

-What?
-Uh, here, call me Allegra.

-I don't understand any of this.
-[pants] Come with me.

What are you doing here?

How did you escape?

I came to find you.

Did Lucía help you?

No, I put it on myself, and suddenly
I was surrounded by a purple light.

Purple? No, no. That can't be.
When I used it, the light was green.

Are you sure?

And what does that mean?

I don't know.

-And why did you put it on?
-For you.

I thought I'd never see you again.

Me too, especially now.

What year are we in?

2021.

So, I'm in the future with you?

You're in my present.

[Félix] Allegra, the...

The journalists want
to write a piece on you.

-Caterina is on her way here.
-No, my mom can't see him.

What? Caterina is your mom?

And who are you?

-I'm her...
-My friend.

He's my friend.

I need you to get him out of here.

-Please.
-[Félix sighs]

[sighs]

Marco.

Félix.

[monkeys chatter on VR device]

[animals calling]

-Wow.
-[lion roars]

What is this?

No. No, no, no, no, no. Don't touch that.

-Put that down. Don't touch anything.
-[Marco sighs]

-[sighs]
-[computer chimes]

What are you doing?

I'm trying to understand
what you're doing here, hmm?

It's unbelievable that I could be stuck
with the famous Marco Resco.

Wait. People know me in this time?

No, no. No one knows you.

-Well, you do.
-Yeah. Because Allegra told me everything.

-[device beeps]
-[gasps]

That's weird. She never told me about you.

Well, she never told you anything, hmm?
She didn't even tell you her real name.

It was me who helped her understand
about the time travel into the past,

in case you didn't know.

So, it's thanks to you
that I can be here with her today?

Mmm...

-You're the best. Thanks.
-No, no, no.

Let's leave the displays of affection
for when you're dressed, yeah?

Good thinking.

-Lend me a shirt.
-What? No.

[sighs]

-[camera winds up]
-[shutter clicking]

[journalist] Great, beautiful.
Very good. Now looking at each other.

Marvelous.

Now looking at the camera.
There you go. One more.

One more looking at each other.
Spectacular.

-Why don't we go talk?
-Yes.

Prepare the set for the close-ups.

Good. Incredible.

Congratulations.
Opening night was a huge success.

-How do you feel?
-Happy. It was great teamwork.

Worthy of the Sharps. Three generations
passionate about musical theater.

What is your biggest dream?

Uh, my dream is
to have a career like Cocó's

and... be a musical theater star,

travel and see...

Allegra is very talented,
and she has a great future ahead.

No doubt. You're two of a kind.

-Should we take a few more pictures?
-Of course.

-First with Allegra.
-Yes, of course.

Come, individual shots first.

Amelia, congratulations.

Pedro, what are you doing here?

It's been forever.

I saw the show and wanted to say congrats,

on your performance and what you did
with the theater, the remodel...

Did you like the show?

I loved it.

Hey, Cocó. I'm going to Félix's.
He's expecting me at the celebration.

What about dinner?

No, no. It's important.

My granddaughter.

Shall the two of us have dinner?

So, what have you two been doing?

I worked on a video
to explain what happened.

And this guy? Nothing.

And that shirt?

[chuckles] Oh, Félix lent it to me.
[clicks tongue]

-Félix is the best.
-The best. [chuckles]

-[Allegra chuckles]
-All right, should we start?

["The Blue Danube" playing on TV]

In the beginning, there was nothing.

Then, there was a huge expl*si*n
known as the big bang.

This created matter, space...

I'm sorry.

Could we fast-forward to where we appear?

Ah.

Okay.

-Okay, you're missing the best part.
-[music stops]

-But if that's what you want...
-[video fast-forwarding]

-[video plays, normal speed]
-...here it is.

All right, Allegra was in 2021, hmm?

She finds a bracelet
and magically travels to 1994

where she finds her mom.

Are we good so far?

You seem a little lost.

[sighs]
This is going to be difficult, huh?

No, yeah, I just still can't believe
that you're Caterina's daughter

-and therefore the granddaughter...
-Of Cocó, yeah.

So, then you appear, hmm?

[guitar solo playing]

Ah... Uh, I didn't have a pic of you,

so I used the first one I found
on the Internet, hmm?

That was the first one you found?

-Can we move on?
-Yes, let's move on.

Thanks to the hit '90s musical
Laura Isn't Here

and Caterina's sweatshirt
bearing those words,

as well as your very literal
and somewhat basic thinking...

-Félix.
-Allegra started going by Laura in 1994.

And she joined the musical theater company
Eleven O'Clock.

There you had a picture of me.

After opening night,
no one heard from you again.

Basically, there's no information on you
from the last 30 years.

Except for...

...that.

[Allegra] Your dad had it made
after the fire at the theater.

That doesn't mean anything, though, right?

Maybe you got on a motorbike in '94
and went to a desert island.

No, no. That's not it.
I don't know how to ride a motorbike.

Marco, forget all of this, okay?

The important thing is to find out
why the bracelet brought you here.

Why did you travel to the past?

To understand my mom better.

Meeting her in '94 improved
my relationship with her in the present.

-Maybe you need to...
-No.

No, my mom died when I was a kid.

-I'm sorry. I didn't know.
-No, no. It's okay.

Plus, it's different with him, you know?
He traveled to the future.

That's a good point.

[Marco sighs]

See these knots?

You're going to travel from 2021 to '94.

As you learn things in your travels,

they'll untie.

And when the last one comes undone?

-The travels are over.
-[in English] The end.

[in Spanish] And then?
What will happen to me?

Lucía told me it could be very dangerous.

-Yes, but nothing bad happened to me.
-It did to me.

Either way, what we have to do now
is create a new life for you.

-Hmm.
-Change your name.

And why not change this look a little?

[chuckles] Félix already helped me
with the name part.

Fausto. Like my favorite book.

[Félix sighs]

And this is the cliché moment in the movie
where you change the character's look.

["U.U" playing]

[no audible dialogue]

[electric clippers whir]

[scissors scrape]

[dog barks]

[shutter clicking]

-[cell phone vibrates]
-[Marco groans]

[groans]

-[vibrating continues]
-[gasps]

Allegra, are you still with Félix?

-Uh...
-You can see each other on the phone?

Uh, yeah, yeah, what's up?

I need you to come home now. It's urgent.

I'm on my way. [sighs]

Uh, Allegra... Allegra, can I ask you
about what happened on opening night?

Félix, I need you to bear with me
until the rehearsal is over.

Entertain him somehow.

All right. See you.

[door opens]

-[door closes]
-[Marco sighs]

Should we have breakfast?

[sighs]

Don't be so picky, Caterina.

-I'm not being picky.
-What's going on?

Cocó. She wants to change the whole play.

-Why?
-Pedro made a very interesting proposal.

He's asking us to change
some things in the play

to show it to some Spanish producers.

Who is Pedro?

I am.

Hi.

-In reality, I'm...
-He's an old friend,

a great musical producer,

who's very interested
in taking Light Years to Spain.

That's amazing.

It would be,
if he didn't want to change everything.

Change what exactly?

Just two things.

Increase the chorus line
and add one song at the end, that's it.

A song that is more current.

That way, we can launch it as a single
to promote the show.

And it can be heard on all platforms.
That's it.

And change the script.

-So thank you, but we're not interested.
-Caterina.

Sorry, Mom,
but you can't answer for us all.

This project, from the beginning,
belonged to all three of us.

-Of course we're interested.
-Allegra.

Well, discuss it amongst yourselves.
Don't argue about it.

When you reach an agreement, let me know.
I'll work on my part. Excuse me.

Uh, Cocó, I don't have a lot of time.

The producers are coming in two weeks,
and their schedule needs to be finalized.

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

As always, you'll take care of it.

Thank you.

[door opens]

[door closes]

We just had opening night.
It went down well with the audience.

The critics loved it.
And we're going to change the play?

I wrote a story that was faithful
to my grandmother's stories.

This is an homage to her.
I'm not going to touch it.

Caterina, I assure you that
no one is going to touch Mom's stories.

We'll add one song, which you'll write,

we'll create some spectacular choreography
for the finale,

and I'll handle negotiations with him
so they don't touch the script.

Come on, Mom. Please.

You know my dream is
to be known around the world.

Well, Madrid is a great first step.

Have faith in Cocó.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of it.

[growls, barks]

[barks]

Don't touch that.

-I want to see it.
-[sighs]

-[chiming]
-"Hello, sweetheart."

What? Who's writing to me?

No. That's dangerous. They might see you.

-Who?
-My followers.

Followers? Where do they follow you to?

[clears throat] I'm...

I'm sort of an idol in the film world.

An influencer, hmm?

I like to talk about film,
and people like hearing my opinions

on science fiction and horror movies.

My followers enjoy that.

Mmm, mmm. Are there a lot of them?

141.

-[sighs]
-No, 143.

Oh.

[Marco laughs]

No, no. I don't get it.

Uh, let's see. In the '90s...
Were there photos in the '90s?

-Yes.
-All right. Where did you store them?

-In an album.
-Okay, this is similar. Look.

What?

No, nothing.

They do this too?

[chuckles] Who doesn't do this?

Look at Diego.

-He's super old.
-[chuckles]

What's up?

-Uh...
-It's Franco, your dad.

Yeah, no, no. I didn't see.

But don't you want to know...

No, I don't care.

What if... What if you traveling to now
has to do with him?

No, I came to the future to find Allegra.
Let's go. We're going to be late.

You're off cue, Allegra.

If you get off cue,
you make your castmates off cue too.

-Sorry, I missed it.
-You missed it?

When you're onstage,
the sky might be falling,

but you have to concentrate
on what you're doing.

Please.

Uh, play from, um... from second 35, please.

[chattering]

-Sweetheart, what's wrong?
-Sorry. [sighs]

What are you worried about?

Mom. I know her. I know
that she won't agree to change anything.

It's a matter of time.
Between the two of us, we'll convince her.

[Caterina] You don't have to convince me.

If you promise me
that the text won't be touched,

I'm willing to continue.

[Allegra chuckles]

I'm going to trust you.

We're starting auditions tomorrow.

We have to get a large chorus line

and a really good composer
who works quickly.

Bárbara!

[Marco] Put me down.

What?

I want to be the new composer
for Light Years.

Of course.

Of course you should be.
Why didn't I think of that?

Oh, I can just imagine myself
singing your songs up there onstage.

He has to submit the demo tomorrow.

What if he travels to '94 before then?
Who will write it?

No, Marco is the best.
He'll write five songs in five minutes.

Ah, no, just five. Six, seven,
or even eight. As many as you want.

Plus, it's a demo.

What if your time travel is about this?

To allow you to develop
your career as a musician in 2021?

Well, in that case,
he better start writing already

so he can get back to '94 faster.

I mean, so that they don't miss him.

I need a guitar.

No, wait.

What if they recognize me?

No. Who is going to recognize you
with this look?

-Plus, how old would you be now?
-Forty-five.

Well, who is going to believe
that you're a time traveler

and that you're the same age
as you were in 1994?

-Good point.
-Let's go find a guitar.

I'll tell you what Light Years is about
to see if you have any ideas.

-Yeah.
-Uh, are you coming?

Uh, no. No, I have things to do.
[chuckles]

You didn't tell me that.

Well, Allegra, I don't tell you
everything I do, do I?

I have things to do. Things people do.

The life things that... Things.

-Okay, good luck with the things.
-[Allegra chuckles]

Bye.

-Thanks, dear.
-Oh, thank you.

I told you I would take care of it all,
and when Cocó Sharp says something...

She does it, whatever it takes, right?

Look how you remember.

How could I forget?
You used to say that all the time.

[both laugh]

With regards to your daughter, Cocó,
will she accept the script changes?

Because she didn't seem very convinced.

-Yes, of course.
-Perfect.

I'll notify the Spanish producers.

-Pedro?
-Hmm?

We never talked about what happened.

I think I owe you an explanation.

It's been a long time, Cocó.

Let's see this as a new start.

Yeah?

[sighs]

-[Marco] Ouch.
-[Allegra laughs]

You see that it's not so fun
when someone does it to you?

All right, and...

-Here?
-Yes.

Okay.

Music room
MARCO RESCO

This was my spot.

Is.

Nothing was left after the fire.

They remodeled the whole theater.

But it's still your spot.

You didn't forget about me.

And when I go back to '94?

What?

I don't know. What will happen?

To you?

To us.

I don't want to talk about it.

And if I stay here?

That's not how the bracelet works.

Once you discover
what you came to do in 2021,

it will take you straight back to '94.

Well, I already found what I'm here for.

What's wrong?

Félix.

[sighs] Are you seeing him?

No. No, no, no.

Well, I-I don't know.

Marco, I thought that
I would never see you again.

And time moved on,
and I had to move on with my life.

The memory of you was always with me.
It was incredible.

And, well,

on opening night, Félix and I kissed.

Oh, look. That looks like mine.

Marco.

I haven't been able to talk to Félix yet.

You just appeared.

And I need to clear things up first.

I don't want to hurt him.

I understand.

Thank you.

-Look at all this stuff.
-[chuckles]

NEW SONG

Hi, do you want to meet there
in half an hour?

[Caterina] Do you need help?

-Did you find it?
-Yes, uh...

I found it. It was in the desk.

[Marco] I was thinking
about a beat for the song,

and I had an idea
for a super rhythmic beat that goes...

[vocalizes percussion]

Well, that's called reggaeton.

-"Reggaetom."
-Reggaeton.

Alternatively,
it could be like a... like a rap

but with a really dark beat
to put at the end of the play,

like, imagine the whole theater...

Something like this, you mean?

-[upbeat music plays on phone]
-♪ Welcome to the streets of my hood ♪

-♪ Welcome... ♪
-[music stops]

[sighs] Everything's been done.

-It's going to be harder than I thought.
-[chuckles]

"Reggaetom."

Ton.

[Marco chuckles]

Relax. You'll come up with something.

-[high-pitched ringing]
-[groans]

-[groans]
-[muffled] What's wrong?

-Do you hear that?
-No.

-[groans]
-Are you okay?

[ringing stops]

[sighs] Yeah.
It's just a lot, all at once.

I'm a little dizzy.

-What's up?
-What's up?

Uh, what... what are you up to?

I was showing him a few current songs.

Interesting plan.

And what's next?

Look, Marco,
this is the most popular artist right now.

Seventeen million followers?

You said you had lots.
You don't even have a thousand.

-[laughs]
-Um...

Um, why don't we go to the food trucks?
They say the food is amazing.

What's a food truck?

A roller-coaster.

-Can I see it?
-Yes.

A food truck is a truck that sells food.

Food, grub. Truck, vehicle.

-I'm not hungry.
-I am.

All right, I'll go with you.
You stay here.

No, no. Shouldn't he come with us?

Uh... [stammers] We can't...
We can't leave him alone, can we?

Well, yeah, that's true.

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

You'll come up with something.

Let's go.

-What do you want to eat?
-Um...

-Sweet or savory?
-What a coincidence. Franco, your dad.

What?

Dad.

-[horn honks]
-[driver] Move, kid.

-Dad, let me explain my idea...
-You already told me over 20 times.

And I told you no 20 times.

You spent a year telling me
that I had to buy a piano,

that the place needed music,

that lots of people would come then,
that the place would fill up.

You had me spend a lot of money, Franco.
