- Yeah, nightmare.

I love it.

- I decided I'm hooking up with Rai.
- You are?

I don't know why I'm so worked up
over this age difference.

I've never seen
a guy make a big deal of it.

- Huh.
- Yeah, me neither.

When my future long-term girlfriend
picks me up at the airport,

she won't pull this crap.
She'll know what I want.

Exactly. Kissing someone when you've got
a ton of luggage and airplane breath,

it just isn't romantic, right, Carmen?

[newsreader] The driver
is recovering from his injuries.



If you can't find anything,
I'll sing for you if you want.

How was the trip?

You didn't come because you wanted
to ask me about the hen party, did you?

Look, I was hoping that by now,
you'd have calmed down,

and maybe you'd let me explain.

You already did that,
and it didn't work, by the way.

And besides, you'd need to wait a century
before I'm convinced by that bra excuse.

Well, we have time.

[Víctor chuckles]

[woman] Let's listen to that classic
story of deception, Bizet's Carmen.

I was feeling scared.
I didn't know what to do, Val.

You want an excuse, I'd prefer
the typical, "It's not what it seems".

- Well, it's not.
- Not one word more.

[sighs] Valeria, it's not what it seems.

You did it again.

[man] Jiménez goes up the side.
He passes to Moreno...

I know we said everyone
can do whatever they want.

...the midfield line there...

Then why are you so angry?

I wasn't expecting to have it rubbed
in my nose that you're seeing other girls.

- You weren't supposed to find out.
- What?

- Goal! Goal, goal, goal, goal!
- [radio stops]

Look, I really don't care.
You can screw as many women as you want.

[radio] Let's talk about
forgiveness according to Matthew.

If you didn't give a sh*t about me,
you wouldn't have called me a prick.

That's an understatement.
I called you a sh*t-eater.

I decided you're a sh*t-eating prick.

[radio] No account is kept of forgiveness.

It is a path where we choose to free
ourselves from anger and bitterness.

- Valeria, wait.
- No. Back off.

Valeria.

[sighs]

I'm seeing this no-strings-attached thing
doesn't work anymore for us.

- So now what?
- I don't know.

- Ask your Peter Pan what he wants.
- I don't want you to hate me.

Víctor, I don't hate you.

I just can't see a future.

[sighs] And you know what?

I want to see a future.

Well, sometimes the best way to do that

I've taken a step back from
our relationship for both our sakes.

Since this trip didn't
help me get to know Amsterdam,

at least it's helping me

- [Carmen sighs]
- [both laugh]

- Oh!
- God.

[both sighing]

- I loved it.
- Me too.

- You wanna go again?
- [chuckles] No.

I mean the venue that your mother
proposed for the wedding.

- Oh.
- [laughs]

- If you don't like it, it doesn't matter.
- No, it's perfect.

- I love it so much.
- Yeah?

I still believe we should
make our own decisions,

but I think that I could probably be
more open to your mother's suggestions.

Okay, I just wanted her
to get out of the house a little.

- Hmm.
- She's always home with my dad.

- I wanted something fun for her to do.
- I understand.

- It's not that important.
- [sighs]

Because I know
you and I are gonna agree on everything.

- That's what's important.
- Hmm.

[both laugh]

Mm. [chuckles]

What are you thinking?

Are you sure?

- Uh, yes.
- Oh yeah?

- Aren't you?
- Let's see.

- What?
- Come on.

[Carmen exhales]

- I have an idea.
- Oh! [chuckles]

Um, menu or catering and menu?

- [in unison] Menu.
- Okay!

- Okay. Fine.
- Fine.

- Okay, I have one.
- Hmm.

- Enter the reception...
- Mm-hmm?

- As we're dancing?
- Yes.

Or enter normally?

[in unison] Normal.

- Oh, please!
- I mean, can you imagine?

- No, no.
- It's awful. [chuckles]

- Uh... Okay, okay, this is good.
- Ooh.

A wedding in a cathedral
or at the neighborhood church.

[laughs]

- Neighborhood, right?
- What?

I don't know, it's more intimate.

- Oh my God, you're asking seriously?
- Yes.

Bu... But do you want a religious wedding?

- Well, I'm religious. You know that.
- No.

No, I mean,
I'm hearing this just now, Borja.

You saw my Communion photo at my parents'.

Sure, they blew it up like a poster!
But you were just a kid.

I told you I was an altar boy.

We've all done part-time jobs
for extra money.

Carmen, my dream is
to have a ceremony in a church.

That's your dream?

Yes.

Your dream?

- [Lola chuckles]
- Man, your place is awesome.

[chuckles]

How did you get such a big one?

Well, It's a long story,
but I'm glad you like it.

[chuckles]

What are the things
that you're interested in?

Uh, painting.

Hmm. Really?

And what else do you like?

And reading. I like reading.

[Lola inhales]

Well, that's great.

- Do you have Tom Holdren in English?
- [sighs]

I'm obsessed with his writing.
What other authors do you like?

Are you trying
to start a book club with me?

- You're very pretty.
- Much better.

- Hey, is this your mother?
- What?

I can see a resemblance.

Hey, what's the matter?
Don't you wanna f*ck me or something?

- I'm sorry?
- Why the f*ck did you come?

To... get to know you.
You said, "Come to my place for coffee."

Since when does
"Come to my place for coffee"

mean "Come to my place for coffee"?

What it means is
"Why don't we put on a movie?"

"Why don't we put on Netflix?"

[inhales]

Fine. It's fine.

Hello. I'm a translator, I have celiac's,
and bad movies are my favorite thing.

- Are you serious?
- I'm serious.

[chuckles] Okay, well, um...

Hello, I'm in love with art and painting,
and I teach art to children.

Fabulous.

So we've gotten to know each other.
Now what?

Now we...

[sighs]

A bit of sugar and some oat milk is great.

Please.

[sighs]

[cups clatter]

[clears throat]

This is nice. It's been a while since
we've spent the day together, just us.

Hmm.

Hey, Nerea, what's with all the mystery?
Are we going somewhere new?

Hmm.

Oh, of course.
I know what's happening now.

You showing me your new place?

Yeah, because starting a business
lets me have a big flat on Gran Vía.

Then I don't understand
walking like we're late for the bus.

If I knew there'd be cardio,
I'd have worn a tracksuit.

- Come here!
- What?

What's going on?
Who are you looking for?

- I have a date.
- I'm sorry?

I've got a date with someone
from that app for dating girls. [gasps]

That's her.

I'm here under false pretenses
to be a third wheel.

Just as a precaution.
What if she's a crazy psychopath?

Don't worry about that.
I'm gonna k*ll you.

Please sit nearby
and act like you don't know me.

I wanna make a good first impression.

[exhales] Good impression.
Good impression.

Hello!

- Nerea.
- How are you?

- [laughs]
- Oh, oh, I'm sorry.

[both laughing]

- Oh boy.
- Oh, uh...

It's nice to meet you.

- I was waiting for you before I ordered.
- Oh, really?

- Yeah.
- Oh, thank you.

Hey, do you want a matcha? You said
you like all things Japanese, right?

- I love it.
- Oh, excuse me.

- Two matchas and some mochis.
- Oh, that's really nice. [chuckles]

Well...

Uh, what do you do?

- I'm a civil servant.
- Oh!

- I mean, nothing exciting, really.
- No, but that's very stable.

And when it comes to renting,
civil servants have priority.

- Yes.
- Are you a renter, or do you own property?

A renter. Why?

Well, me too.
When you plan for the future,

buying a house
seems like a smart decision.

- Sure.
- But I mean, the VAT, property taxes...

- It's impossible.
- Uh, sorry, excuse me.

I just couldn't help but overhear
your conversation, and...

And I think what this girl's trying to say
is that she's a big fan

of the whole property market.

The bubbles, the buying and selling...

I mean, real estate.

[both laugh]

Um... are you renting because you're
waiting for a long-term partner,

or maybe you're planning for a family?

- Do you want children?
- Oh...

- I don't, um...
- [Lola] No.

She... isn't talking about right now.

But in a hypothetical future, right?

- [woman] Mm.
- Totally.

Uh... I, for example, would prefer
to get married first. And you?

No, well...

- I don't know, Nerea. I...
- You don't know. What don't you know?

- If you wanna get married first or at all?
- Don't you see you're stressing her out?

I'm trying to save us a three-year
relationship and a painful break-up

when we realize
we don't want the same things.

- You know each other.
- [Lola] You just met her!

- We don't know anything about her.
- Yeah.

- By the way, what's your name?
- Okay, look.

- This was weird.
- No.

You two are super weird.

- And I am walking away right now.
- No, wait. One second.

- I have a reasonable explanation.
- [woman] Right.

Lola is a friend of mine,

and she's here
in case you're a psychopath.

Me? I'm the psychopath?

- Yes...
- Oh my God.

As far as first impressions go,

just awful.

Mm!

I mean...

You're the worst.

I'm sorry?

Showing up like that,
by surprise, at the airport.

And in a suit,
and I don't mean a tracksuit.

We had important things
to talk about.

Yeah, about underwires and lace.

- Uh, I was gonna make coffee. Want one?
- No.

You think she wouldn't talk
about something like that?

It wasn't that serious.

No. No way, no.

Don't charm me like that,
or Valeria for that matter.

I'm serious.

You're trying to polish a turd
the size of your whole kitchen, all right?

For what it's worth,
I haven't bothered her since, okay?

And this?

That? Oh, I didn't send it yet.

Look.

I swore I wouldn't get
involved in your relationship.

But promise me
you won't become Valeria's Sergio.

Come here.

[both sigh]

- Hey.
- What?

- Would you ever sleep with me again?
- Whoa!

I mean, not you, Narcissus.
Not you-you, Victor.

Like I'm a stranger,
like you're any other guy.

- I'm talking, like, 25 or so.
- I don't get it.

- I met a guy who's 25.
- Mm-hmm.

We don't f*ck. He starts asking me
about my life and telling me about his.

Does that sound normal?

Hmm. That someone wants
to know more about you?

As boring as you are?
No, it's not normal at all.

But isn't it a nice thing
that he wants to get to know you?

Sure, but I want him to know me right now.

In depth.

- Lola.
- f*ck, what's the matter?

- Listen, I've got a meeting. Uh...
- Yeah, I've got a taxi waiting outside.

Okay. Lunch tomorrow?

No. Tomorrow I've got work
and a date with the girls.

- Anything interesting?
- [blows raspberry]

Look, don't make me talk about it.

- The day after tomorrow?
- I'll text you.

Girls.

- Ugh!
- Girls.

- Shame on you.
- I'm sorry.

We waited 15 minutes for you at the café.

- Come on...
- I start writing, and the hours go by.

- Where's Lola?
- Torturing me.

- We're going to miss our time.
- [Lola] Hey.

- You can't even be on time for one day.
- I'm sorry!

- Girl.
- We ready?

- Oh yeah. How exciting.
- We are.

- Come on.
- All right.

[Carmen] I don't feel like it.

- Why don't we just go for a drink?
- [all] No!

- [Valeria] Let's go!
- [Nerea] Carmen, enjoy yourself.

- Mm, it's so dull.
- This one.

It's divine, no?

God.

You've gotta try this dress on for me.

Come on. Ugh! Careful, I'm choking. Ugh!

[groans]

Well, wish me luck. I hope this goes
better than the time with my mother.

So long as there's champagne,
we'll be here all the time you need.

- Good luck.
- All right, thanks.

Back there?

Good luck.

Girls, I think I messed up
with the internet girl.

- [Valeria] You're exaggerating.
- [Lola] She's not.

She almost asked her
about her last pap smear.

- [Lola] Tell her. Tell her!
- [gasps]

Wow!

I'm fine.

[upbeat soul music plays]

- It's gorgeous.
- Incredible.

- No.
- [Nerea] Okay.

No.

[Carmen grunts]

So I think I might be messing
things up with Victor.

- After what he did?
- [Lola] f*ck him.

Excuse me? Can we have some
more champagne, please? Thank you.

What I mean is,
in the last conversation we had,

I think I came off a little defensive.

You?

[groans]

[Lola] Oh!

Oh!

[Lola] Careful.

- Wow.
- Oh, it's, uh...

- [Nerea] You are...
- No!

- No. It's a no.
- [Carmen] No.

- It's not really your style.
- You look like a cupcake.

I'd appreciate it if you tried
to be honest from the start.

- Sure.
- [Nerea] Yes.

Thank you.

[Carmen grunts]

- Oh, thanks.
- That looks so uncomfortable. I mean...

- You couldn't dance...
- Or sit down.

[Lola] She looks like a mop.

She's super overwhelmed, don't you think?

- What the hell...
- Mm!

- That's incredible!
- It's the same dress!

[Carmen sighs]

- Rai didn't wanna f*ck me.
- [Nerea] And?

- But why?
- He wanted to talk to me.

- And?
- About what?

That's what I'm wondering.
I'm horny as hell.

I charged the Satisfyer
three times this week.

- Three?
- Three.

Three. Wow.

[gasps]

This one. This one.

- This one is the dress for your...
- This is atrocious.

You can't hate a wedding dress, Carmen.

I thought the problem was coming
with my mother, but no, the problem...

- It's you.
- No, the problem is the dresses they have.

- [tuts]
- I'm sorry?

She didn't mean to say that.
The dresses are incredible.

- They're beautiful. All of them.
- I just... [grumbles]

[groans] Gimme.

I feel like I'm playing dress-up
with all these stupid costumes.

I just wanna be comfortable.
Men get married in suits. Why can't I?

- I have a two-piece suit...
- Sounds great.

No, no. Don't even think
about giving her a suit.

Carmen, you can't dress
like you're going to an office.

Is this because Borja wants
to get married in a church?

What if we made a big mistake,
and we don't have that much in common?

What happens when it's time for kids,
and we have to talk with them about death?

Or when I say that
I'm not going to have my kids baptized?

- Come on!
- You don't have to make a decision today.

Not about the dress
or where the two of you will get married.

[exhales] Don't worry.

- Let's go get dressed. Come on.
- Yeah. I gotta go.

- Better not to rush into things.
- No.

Besides, I have something
that's going to cheer you right up.

Mm? A little surprise? Let's see!

[Carmen gasps]

YOUR WEDDING PLANNER

Ta-da!

Not sure you know
how to cheer someone up.

[Nerea] Come on, it's great.
It's a wedding notebook.

It's almost like the princess
version of my red book.

Better. It's an organizer to keep track
of all the details you need for the day.

Including the panties you have to wear?

- Don't be silly.
- No, there's a chapter on underwear.

I also have to wear wedding panties?

What if I want to get married
in my period underwear?

I mean, it's much more than that.

- Hmm?
- Hey, careful.

It has chapters about
how to deal with the guests,

- the organization of the tables...
- [heartbeat]

...about the wedding rings,
the music, the flowers.

[muffled] Also the speeches. You can
write your own speech if you want. Also...

That's it. Carmen should do whatever
she wants on her wedding day.

Thanks.

- Come on. I wanna show you something.
- Just her?

- Or everyone.
- [Lola] Oh!

- Don't take Carmen's book.
- You can keep it for a while.

Nothing's gonna happen. I said a while!

- What?
- [Lola] Uh-uh. Don't look at me.

You know these things give me hives.

- Don't boycott me.
- I'm not boycotting you.

- What if you get your period that day?
- Thanks!

- Ah. I need your menstrual calendar.
- No, not a chance. You're not helping.

I'm serious. Val, I'm all over the place.

Can we change the subject
to something more relaxing?

[both gasp]

- Look. [chuckles]
- [Carmen gasps]

The dress from your wedding with Adri?

Oh, all those second-hand shops
we had to go to before we found it.

- Yeah.
- [Carmen] Really?

It wasn't new or spectacular.

- But for me, it was perfect.
- [Lola] Yeah.

And when I look at it,
I get this silly look on my face like you.

- It cost me 25 euros.
- Not bad.

No. Carmen isn't going to wear
some mothballed old dress.

Carmen will go as she wants. Look.

My wedding was
super simple and uncomplicated.

But for me, it was the best wedding
I could've had.

- Because it was the wedding I wanted.
- [Lola] Right.

Church or town hall, short dress,
long dress, none of that matters, Carmen.

- Wow.
- What matters

is how much you and Borja love each other.

That and that he doesn't have
someone else's bra on the sofa.

- Carmen.
- Hmm?

It's your wedding.

It's not mine. It's not Val's. Or Nerea's.

It's yours.

Thank you, ladies.

[sighs] Thank you for helping.

I'm sure I'll be very grateful for the
notebook when I'm not overwhelmed.

Yeah. Sure.

Hey, will you stay and help
me rehearse tomorrow's lecture?

[Carmen] Oh, how's it going?

- What?
- It's just a writers' talk for students.

But every time I have to speak in public,
I break out in a cold sweat.

- [Lola] That's awful.
- It'll go great.

We will be there to support you.
If you draw a blank, look for one of us.

- We're here for whatever you need.
- I need you to stay and help me rehearse.

No, no, no. I have to go to work.

- Really?
- I have interviews with the photographers.

- I actually...
- Would you help me?

Of course. I'd love to.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

- I'll go to the interesting stuff.
- Yes please.

Here we go. So.

- Literature.
- Great.

- According to the R.A.E...
- R.A.E.

- ...it is "the art of verbal expression."
- Mm-hmm.

- Makes sense, right?
- Mm. That's perfect.

Meaning what is said, and what is felt...

My love, are you here?

[giggling]

I got really drunk at Val's.

My love... Ooh, God.

Come on.

- Wow! Okay.
- [keys jingling]

Ooh!

- [grunts]
- [door opens]

My love!

[door closes]

[gasps] Puri!

- [Puri] Carmen.
- Oh! Yes. Um...

[panting]

- This is the bride-to-be.
- Wait a minute. Uh... What?

- What are you doing here?
- Borja gave me the keys.

He's parking the car.
Oh. Right.

And, um... and this... this guy?

I'm Father Ricardo.

- Mm!
- Fine. Oh, that's great. Perfect.

- For decades, our priest.
- Nice to meet you.

- Mm...
- He baptized Borja, gave him Communion.

- And now he'll marry him.
- Would you also do his burial?

As I'm going to k*ll him
for not telling me.

- No, no. I'm the one who organized this.
- [Carmen] Ah!

If you're getting married in the parish
church, it's normal to meet.

Yeah, well, you know what?
I'm not convinced.

This stuff with the parish church,
it's not very clear.

Borja told me that there
had been a small misunderstanding.

- Nothing.
- No, well, let's see, small...

Small, I wouldn't say small.

She didn't know there was
a reservation on the date at the church.

But it's all taken care of, my dear.

- No problem.
- [Carmen] That's good.

- [Puri] Yes.
- Well, no problem then...

- None at all.
- Father, you should come with me.

Yes. Yes. Because I'm going to
show you around this place.

Where we live together.

You know, our apartment.
The two of us. We're living In sin.

- Hmm?
- Well, in flagrante.

Much like any young couple-

Well, Father, things have happened
here that you wouldn't believe.

Okay. Well, what we can do is,
if you have some time,

we can meet up and I can
show you samples of our locations.

Yeah, sure, I can email
it to you if you prefer.

Okay, great.

WHAT'S UP?

SORRY ABOUT THE OTHER DAY,
I SAID THINGS I SHOULDN'T HAVE.

Thank you. Bye.

WANT TO MEET UP TO TALK IT OVER?

HELLO?

NADIA BLOCKED YOU

This is basically where we sleep together.

Although, well, sleep, sleep... Rrrrrr!

[Puri] Hey, look, why don't
we go to the living room and have coffee?

- Would you like that?
- No.

- I want to show the Father more things.
- [Puri sighs]

I want to show him that
we have, well, travel photos...

- [Puri groans]
- And... Oh, come on.

- Condoms.
- Oh my God.

- Do you know what they are?
- Of course.

Yeah, but you know what happens?
Look. We've practically used them all.

- Carmen, could you please?
- That's what they're for, right?

Yeah. But it's just... It's just...
I mean, it's... Uh...

Well, I stole them.

Yes, when the shop assistant
wasn't looking. A disaster.

- Am I smelling some wine?
- You are, because I'm plastered! [laughs]

I thought so.

- But I, uh... Let's see, wait. Oh!
- [stomach gurgles]

You just... Why aren't
you offended by anything?

Oh, child, if you'd been hearing
confession for 40 years like me,

- I'm sorry, excuse me please.

Wow.

If you're here for the broken pipe,

[laughs] I'm the photographer. Georgina.

Oh.

I didn't expect you like this. I'm sorry.

Um... well, you must be aware,
we need someone pretty urgently

to join us for an event this Saturday,
and also for a wedding, for now.

I'm your girl.

Uh, well, we'll see about that, no?

Well, this is how I work.
I'm paid half on the day upfront,

and I get the other half
when I deliver the photos.

I pay for transportation,
but you pay for the food.

And the delivery time is only an estimate.

Deadlines aren't really my thing.
[chuckles]

I thought the conditions
were set by me, not you.

You're the one
who urgently needs a photographer.

And it's not easy to find someone
at the last minute.

Don't think you're so important.
We have another photographer standing by.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yes.

- You might connect better with him.
- Yes, indeed.

Yes, I'm afraid you're a bad fit
for the company.

If you don't mind, could you spit out
your gum? It's making me sick.

Valeria, the students with hangovers
got here before you.

- I'm sorry.
- [scoffs]

With the shitty traffic,

and the fact I can't
find a f*cking taxi this time of day,

I always arrive late like an idiot.

- Yeah. Valeria...
- Mm?

This is Bruno Aguilar,
another of our guest authors.

- Don't move from here. I'll call you.
- Okay.

Nice to meet you.

- Valeria Férriz. I'm also a writer.
- I know.

I just had the pleasure of witnessing
your mastery of language.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

Chus gave me Cannibal Homeland.
I love zombie stories.

- Well, zombies are just an excuse for me.
- Mm?

It's a vision of populist politics
where the algorithm has k*lled creativity.

Hmm.

I'm lying. I just wanted
to talk about zombies, that's all.

Hey, guys, shall we go in?

[Valeria] Yeah.

Is something on my face?
There's something, right? Where?

You look great.

Shall we?

Looking for someone?

Yeah, my friends.
They're supposed to be in the audience.

- Valeria?
- Yeah.

- You're up first, okay?
- Okay.

Good morning, everyone.
Thank you for coming.

First of all, as editor-in-chief
of Suma de Letras,

thank you for the invitation to be here.

- We've brought three dynamic authors...
- What's wrong?

My cards.

- Which cards?
- The speech.

- [snorts]
- [Chus]...very different.

But they share the most important thing.

Great talent and love for their work.

We hope they will be able
to convey to you

the passion and dedication
behind this industry.

- Hey, just look at me. Look at me.
- What?

- I'm...
- It's your novel.

- I don't know what to do.
- Look at me.

- What?
- You can do it.

So, with that said, let's
welcome our first speaker,

the author of Impostor, Valeria Férriz.

- Uh, hello.
- [feedback squeals]

- Bullshit.
- [students laugh]

Uh...

[laughs] I'd say no one has ever started
a university lecture like that.

I love your writing.
Congrats, it was very good.

Thank you so much,
I was incredibly nervous.

- We couldn't tell at all.
- [laughs]

- Thank you. Have a good one.
- See you.

- [man] See you.
- See you.

One sec. Férriz.

- You leaving?
- Yeah.

I really enjoyed your presentation.

Thanks, but it was never
going to b*at yours.

I really appreciated the first part of it.

It had a lot of power.

- [both chuckle]
- Yeah.

When I said "bullshit"
and everybody heard me, right?

Yeah, well, it's one way to keep
your audience engaged, isn't it?

- Hey, they were really riveted.
- I know, I saw them.

Or are you in a hurry?

- Okay.

- Yeah.

- Taxi.

What?

You'll have to teach me how

Yeah, but...
