Thanks for coming.

My cousin took the pictures,

if you'd like to buy one,

just let me know.

Thanks.

GLIMPSES OF THE PAS

Hi, thanks for coming.

I tried to get as many as I could to come

from school but

No, it's okay.

I know it's not easy to get people

to come to a photo exhibition,

much less a woman's.

But I like all of them.

Excuse me.

Nothing?

And if he doesn't come?

If he's interested, he'll come.

Well, maybe not.

Maybe he wants to get back at me

for all the times I said no.

Oh, Marianita.

All the times you told him no

won't ever compare

to the time you said yes.

Hmm?

Oh no.

Dad.

Thanks for coming.

-And these flowers?

-For you.

Oh, really? Thanks. And the others?

-For your mother.

-Oh.

She's over there.

What a pain in the neck.

Good afternoon.

Excuse me.

That isn't necessary, Rogelio.

Mariana,

I'll spend the rest of my life

apologizing to you.

Please accept them.

Thanks.

Is Joel not coming?

No, we decided it was best that he didn't

come and stir up the hornet's nest.

You know our family better than anybody.

Don't even start.

My dad's been trying to get me

to go out with Senator Echeverri's son.

I don't have any more excuses

to get out of it.

Although on second thought,

now that I don't have many candidates,

I should take advantage.

Oh, Mati, look.

We weren't born just to get married.

Oh, really?

Then for what?

Well, anything besides being with

someone we don't love.

We're leaving now.

Already? Oh, bye.

-You're leaving?

-Take care.

-You're not going to buy a print?

-Mati thanks for coming.

-Bye, take care.

-I'll join you.

Oh, this is just a disaster.

Thanks for coming.

Hey, Josefina?

A pleasure, what a beautiful home.

I'm going to greet everyone.

-Sara.

-Hello.

I thought you weren't coming.

How was I going to miss this?

I love your work.

Thanks.

I would've loved if

if Tino would've come.

But well, I imagine

he's still annoyed with me, right?

Well, I don't know but

You know, everyone makes choices in life.

I want to introduce you to some friends.

-Who?

-Look, Andy, Marta.

-Hi.

-Gloria.

Rowdy, he was supposed

to be here half an hour ago.

You think something happened?

Or maybe Mr. Rogelio

called and canceled the deal.

That's not possible,

I'm the only one in contact with him.

Oh, okay.

So, the guy must be lost somewhere.

You know, getting here isn't the easiest.

No, I'll look for him.

Giraldo!

Come with me. Keep watch.

Rogelio, don't insist.

Mariana, all couples have problems.

We have never been a couple.

-You ever think about

-Don't touch me.

Sorry, Mariana, but it's your fault.

You make me lose control.

Oh well, it would be good

if you kept your distance.

You really don't care

if this family is ruined?

You don't care that your daughter

is lost and wasting time because of you?

What is this?

What are we talking about? Photography?

What kind of job is this?

Rogelio, do you seriously not see

how talented your daughter is?

My God, Mariana,

are you serious about this?

If we let Sara continue this nonsense,

-what man will take her seriously?

-One that's on her level.

I'm telling you right now, Rogelio,

I'll support Sara in whatever she decides.

What is Stewart doing here

and who invited him?

Excuse me a moment.

Mr. Stewart, hello.

-Thanks so much for coming.

-Thank you for inviting us.

Let me introduce Dr. Manrique.

-Pleased to meet you.

-Sara Benítez.

Incredible collection of art.

-Alejandro.

-A pleasure.

Impressive photographer.

And Roberto Angarita,

director of The Valley Observer magazine.

Well, welcome.

Welcome.

Rogelio Benítez, Sara's father.

Mr. Stewart, what a surprise.

I didn't think you'd come.

Well

I came to admire your daughter's work.

Well, go ahead, please.

If you have any questions or have anything

you're interested in, just ask me.

Gentlemen, something to drink?

Please.

Thank you.

You'll have to excuse me

a moment, excuse me.

What do you think?

Is it him?

Marianita, I don't know.

It's been so long,

I don't know if I recognize him.

Hmm.

Look.

My son would be that old right now.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

-Thanks so much for coming.

-No, no.

As a lover of chiaroscuro,

it's truly a privilege to be here.

And I'm sorry.

For?

I couldn't help

hearing about your son and

that's a shame.

I never really had him.

Thanks for being here,

for bringing all these important people.

I should've brought more because honestly

Sara's talent is incredible.

Well, there will be more time.

This is just the beginning.

I completely agree.

Do you also like art?

Yes, yes, I love it, I

I played piano as a girl.

-I have to hear that.

-No, no, no, no.

-Why not?

-No, no.

-Stay still!

-Okay.

-Stay still.

-Relax, relax.

So who's the guy?

We found him trying to get inside

the house. We found this.

PRESS BADGE

-Do you think I'm stupid?

-Don't touch me, Rogelio.

-Did you invite him?

-Yes.

I invited him.

Because I know he would

invite a lot of important people.

Because Sara needs our support.

It's clear that you and your daughter

need a man to put you in your place.

It hasn't been a month since we split

and you're already acting like an idiot.

-I'm going back to the ranch.

-That's my decision.

-I'm your husband.

-No.

We're splitting up.

-What are you trying to say?

-That this isn't a crisis.

I want a divorce, period.

Listen to me, Mariana.

Over my dead body.

I'm not going to be

the laughingstock for everybody.

And I married for life.

Is that clear?

You are and will always be my wife.

Let me say this again, Rogelio.

I have never

been your wife.

Me, work?

Yes.

These photos

they're really good.

I know that an artist

always wants to be independent.

But they also have to make a living.

Mr. Roberto, I would love to. I accept.

That's great, it's not an easy job.

And much less for a woman.

Photographic journalism

does have complicated hours, yes.

Relax, I accept the challenge.

I think we should talk about it, sweetie.

Dad.

My daughter is studying

and does not have

any economic needs right now.

No, actually, I'm not studying.

I quit school because I wanted to

dedicate myself to photography.

And I need the money.

What's going on?

I just accepted a job.

I haven't given her permission.

I think Sara is old enough to decide

if she wants to work or not.

-Thank you.

-I

don't want to intrude.

You talk it over, discuss it,

and if you're interested,

you know where to find me.

Thank you, excuse me.

-Thanks.

-Okay.

Did you have to do this right now?

I'm sorry, sweetie,

I can't give you permission.

I'm sorry, but I don't need it.

Sara.

Sara, wait.

Dad, I'm not going to do what you want.

Sara, I'm your dad,

and nobody else knows what's best for you.

I don't care about that. I want to be

a photographer and I am already.

What is it? It's not a serious profession.

Much less for a lady.

Focus on what's important,

you're an Azcárate.

This is what I want to be.

Do you or do you not understand?

Sweetie, this is a phase.

Besides, a woman's role is very different.

What do you want?

To lose the best years of your life with

people who aren't even on your level?

Sara, my God.

Maybe your mom's crazy but not you, too.

Stop saying my mom is crazy.

I'm sorry, I know it hurts,

but you only know half the story.

Many years ago,

your mom had mental health problems.

She did treatments, we all supported her,

we thought she was better, but I think

she needs to see a doctor again.

Dad, do me a favor.

Get out.

-Sara

-Get out.

Because if you won't respect either of us,

it's better if you

don't even worry about coming back.

Secure that tent well, please.

Mr. Summer.

I hope this is the beginning

of a great partnership.

I'll be back in four months

when the next harvest is ready.

I'll be here.

Let's go.

Huh?

Not so hard, huh, Rowdy?

That idiot Benítez is losing out,

and the best thing is we're getting

a nice percentage of the money.

No, I know.

But we have a little problem.

Relax, because from now on,

we're going to double check everything.

Ours

and what we show Benítez, okay?

-I have a joke for you.

-Mm-hmm.

What's good about robbing a criminal?

What?

They always think they're smarter than us.

Alright, you're very funny.

But seriously, we do have a problem.

Okay, what happened now?

Come on.

Come on.

We don't know where he came from,

but we managed to grab him

before the gringo got here.

-You sure he didn't see anything?

-I'm sure.

Did you search him?

-Of course.

-Good, good.

Look.

He's a reporter.

PRESS BADGE

TINO DOMÍNGUEZ

I think we'll have to k*ll him.

-Huh?

-They hit him hard over there.

Let's go see him.

Thank you very much for the help,

but it's not necessary.

Oh, don't worry about it.

Look, in fact,

you'd actually be doing me a favor.

I don't have anyone to talk to out there.

Ángel Cáceres, nice to meet you.

A pleasure.

Josefina Mosquera.

Honestly, I appreciate the help.

I didn't think

the house was going to be packed.

I think Mr. Stewart went a little

overboard by bringing so many guests.

Um do you work with Mr. Stewart?

Yes, I've known him for a long time.

Mr. Stewart is

a very influential person.

The only son

in a family of American millionaires.

And well, yes.

He's accustomed to hanging out

with millionaires and people who are

interested in the art world.

Did he grow up in the United States?

Yes, this is his second time over here.

I met him on his first trip.

Oh!

Go.

Go make sure the gringo makes it

through the checkpoints okay.

-And this guy?

-Relax, I'll take care of him.

Bye, bye, bye.

Let's go.

The exhibition was very successful.

I'm a very proud mother,

so I propose a toast to you, my love,

for this brilliant work you've done.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

We should

we should go out and celebrate.

My treat.

No, thank you, we're too tired.

Oh, Mom, please, let's go.

No, besides,

Sara is the one who deserves it.

Yes, but who's going to clean all this up?

Relax, I'll take care of it.

Sorry, sir, if

if you don't need me anymore today, I

can stay and help her.

Yes, I can also help clean up.

Great.

No ifs ands or buts.

Cheers.

Tino.

Tino.

Tino.

Tino!

Tino!

I think I'll take this one.

But this one costs more.

-Oh, really?

-Yes.

Why's that?

-Well, because Tino's priceless, right?

-Ah.

Are you really that interested?

Yes.

I'll take it since he didn't come.

I think he'd like it as a gift.

Come with me and I'll show you the prices.

Okay.

This way. Thank you so much for coming.

-Alright, my pleasure.

-Take care.

I'm really surprised

with how successful the exhibition was.

Almost everything was sold.

Thanks to you.

No, I didn't do anything. It was thanks

to Sara's work, she did everything.

I'm really happy that you're here with us.

I think it's really strange

what you just did.

During this time, all you've done

is avoid me and reject any possibility

of us becoming partners.

Life has taught me not to trust.

And you shouldn't.

Are you trying to say I can trust you?

No, it means you should try

to get to know me a little more.

That's exactly what I'm doing right now.

Well, let's toast to an amazing day.

One moment,

one moment, excuse me.

It was an amazing day.

We can all agree on that,

but that's now in the past.

I suggest we look towards the future.

Let's toast to the future.

That sounds perfect.

Let's toast to what is to come, cheers.

-To what is to come, cheers!

-Cheers!

Alright, let's get on with it.

Let's dance, Roberto.

Let's go.

Did you know that when

I was in school, around your age,

I came here a lot?

No, Grandpa told me.

Grandpa told me all your stories

as a teenager.

Mrs. Azcárate,

excuse me.

Dance with me?

Yes.

Is that Mrs. Mariana Azcárate?

But that's not her husband.

-Hello.

-Hi.

-May I join you?

-Well, I do have company.

Well, I wasn't referring

to your mom because

she looks really busy, right?

Yes, we came with

a bunch of super important people,

but they're all on the dance floor so

Well then, why don't we join them?

Let's dance.

It's just that

I have a boyfriend.

You have a boyfriend?

Yes.

And where's the boyfriend?

Boyfriend?

Let's see

Quickly!

Here, sir. Here.

I need you to do everything you can

to save my brother, okay?

Yes, of course.

Please, answer me this.

How long has he been unconscious?

How should I know, a couple

three, four hours, I don't know.

-Where did you find him?

-A friend.

A friend told me

he hadn't seen him all day and

they found him beaten up on a road,

that's all I know.

-Do you want to file a report or call?

-Miss, all I want

is for you to do everything you can

to save him and tell me he's okay.

Yes, sir, please relax.

Thank you so much, let me know.

I didn't know you could dance like that.

-Am I making a fool of myself?

-No, no, no.

It's the other way around.

I've never seen you dance like that.

Well, it's also your partner

doing the work, because Mr. Stewart,

even though

he's American, well, he dances very well.

Right? I thought the same thing.

It's like he was born here.

Do you like him?

What?

Why do you say that?

No, I'm just saying what I'm seeing.

I don't know, but that Mr. Stewart

went to the art exhibition

more for you than for me.

No, I think he has commercial interests.

He wants to work with your

grandpa and wants to score points.

But meanwhile,

you're having fun with him, right?

-We're just dancing.

-I'm not saying you're not.

But sometimes chemistry

can't be hidden.

I'm still married to your dad.

And?

Mom, are you in love with my dad?

We both know you're not.

You're splitting up and I

what I want more than anything in this

life, Mom, is for you to be happy.

And if it's not with my dad,

well, what can we do?

Do you really not care

that we're splitting up?

Yes, I do care. I care a lot, Mom, but

It hurts knowing that you two

haven't been happy,

and were together just for me.

Of course I wish you were

in love all your life,

that you loved each other

and stay together, but

not by sacrificing your happiness.

Sweetie, this is not your fault.

Not at all.

It's just

time passes and it hypnotizes you

and you adapt

and we're also in a place

where it's not easy to divorce.

Who cares about appearances?

-Nobody.

-So?

I know either way

I don't want you to go through this.

People will criticize,

they'll have opinions.

I stopped caring about

other people a long time ago.

Sorry for interrupting,

you're going to say that I'm drunk, but

I love this song.

Would you be so kind

as to grant me this wish?

Of course.

-Hello.

-Hi.

-Congratulations.

-Thanks.

I was talking with Roberto and he loves

your work as a photographer.

He loves it.

Are you going to accept the job?

-Of course, yes. Yes.

-Yes?

Even if it gives my dad a heart attack.

-Cheers to my new job.

-Cheers.

Honestly, you really surprised me.

Why's that?

I don't know, I just wasn't expecting it.

I thought you were more

Stubborn, spoiled,

a daddy and mommy's girl?

-Eliana.

-Which one?

Eliana, they called the house

and said that Tino is in the hospital.

What do you mean?

No, I don't know,

they just said it's very bad.

-Well.

-Well.

We're here.

Yes, looks like it.

I don't know if it was a good idea

leaving Sara alone in Cali.

Don't feel bad.

The best gesture of trust

we can give our kids is

to make them feel like they can

solve their own problems and

our support.

Well, thanks for taking me.

I must confess, it's been a long time

since I've danced like that.

Or felt so

free.

There's no reason for it to end

if you don't want it to.

We can go to my house and have a drink.

Alright.

SANTIAGO DE CALI HOSPITAL

Oh.

Sara Sara, isn't that Joel?

-That's Joel.

-Yes, right?

Joel.

Joel, what are you? What happened?

-Are you okay?

-Yes, I'm fine.

I'm here for Tino.

What?

I found him unconscious on the road.

I think

they tried to rob him and beat him.

And how bad is he?

Really bad.

-What'd the doctors say?

-They don't know.

They're scared

because of the severe head injuries and

his ankle is pretty much destroyed.

But see, I don't understand,

how was it that you found him?

I don't think it matters right now,

Sara, does it?

-Hey, what's going on with you?

-Tino is dying.

I'm just asking a question, calm down.

-I am calm.

-Well

Guys, guys.

Relax.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

Want to dance?

-No music?

-That's not important.

No music.

Hello?

Good morning,

could you put Mr. Stewart on, please?

Um, yes, of course.

-Who is calling?

-Carla.

His wife.

Oh, yes, I think he is still sleeping.

I'll let him know you called, goodbye.

Oh, wait, wait, who is this?

Mariana.

An employee.

Call him in a bit,

I'm sure Mr. Stewart will be awake.

-See you later.

-Wait, wait a second, please.

Mariana.

Mariana, yes, I think that

I think Joseph told me about you.

He told you about me?

Yes, I think so.

How is he?

Good.

Good.

He's told me a lot about you, too.

Oh, okay, what a surprise and

what has he told you?

That he misses you.

And that you've been apart a long time.

And that he's been apart from Lucy, too.

Lucy?

Yes, Lucy, our daughter.

Well, you know how Joseph is

He's very reserved and

it takes a lot to get him

to talk about his feelings.

Yes, he is very reserved.

Especially with his private life.

So much so that he hasn't talked about

his daughter Lucy, who's 20 years old now.

-20 years old?

-Yes.

We've dated ever since high school.

We've been together for almost 30 years.

A marriage with

a lot of love.

How lovely.

Well, it was nice talking with you, ma'am.

I'll let him know.

Goodbye.

Bring in the medications

as well as the patients.

Doctor.

How is my brother?

Nothing new for right now.

You don't have any news?

We've been here all night

and you don't have any news?

We're waiting for progress,

but he's under observation.

Well, then

I want to see him!

-Why can't I see my brother?

-Joel!

-Joel, let go.

-Get out of here!

-Tell the truth!

-I did.

-Why can't I see him?

-Let me go!

-Let me go.

-Let me go.

Why can't I see him?

Let me see him!

Let me go!

Let me in.

Joel, Joel what are you doing?

What are you doing?

Tino can't die.

He won't die

if you let the doctor do his job.

So why won't they let me see him?

Because that's that's how

things work in hospitals, Joel!

They don't let you

into the intensive units.

You have to trust the doctors,

not threaten them.

-Let's go.

-Not like this.

-Sara, Sara.

-No, no, no.

Joel, what? What's wrong with you?

-What's wrong?

-It's my fault.

It's not your fault, look.

Look, it's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

We don't even know what happened to Tino.

I want to see him, see how he is.

-See if he'll be okay, if he can walk!

-No, no! Look.

You have to calm down.

Why don't you go,

breathe, think a little, take a shower,

and I'll stay here with Eliana

and wait for news from the doctor.

Go.

-Good morning, Dad.

-Where were you?

In Cali.

Why are you coming back

all unkempt and messy?

I'm tired, Dad.

You smell like liquor!

I was at a bar with Sara celebrating

her exhibit you didn't want to go to.

Going out partying with your daughter?

You're not 20.

-No, but I'm also not 100.

-And you're a married woman.

I don't think

I'm a married woman anymore, Dad.

Who were you with? Don't lie to me.

Just because you're bitter

doesn't mean I can't have fun.

Mr. Valencia is coming tomorrow,

I hope you're presentable

because it's your business. You hear me?

And you are still a married woman!

Carla, his wife.

We've dated ever since high school.

We've been together for almost 30 years.

A marriage with

a lot of love.

What am I doing?

Hello?

Hello?

Did Mariana leave already?

That was her, right?

It was Mariana.

Did she leave or is she still with you?

From her tone of voice, I realized

that my call was a complete surprise.

Carla.

You spoke with Mariana?

Yes.

And it's clear she knew

absolutely nothing about me.

And

but what did you talk about?

Ah.

That's the only thing you care about.

Oh, I understand.

You told her my name.

Which one?

Oh, Carla, please, this isn't a game.

I've spent a lot of time

organizing this plan.

Joaquín, I didn't know that

part of your plan

was sleeping with Mariana.

No, no, no, no.

You always loved Mariana

and you were never capable

of admitting it to my face.

Look, you won't be able

to understand right now.

What I do understand now, Joaquín,

is that I lost you.

It's not like that.

Yes, I lost, I lost this whole time,

I lost the game, but you know what?

Thank God you're far away

so I'll be able to forget you quickly.

No, look Carla, I I think

we have to calm down a little and

We have to talk.

I don't want to talk to you anymore.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too. I feel sorry for me

but much more for Lucy.

No.

Carla, please.

Let me talk to Lucy.

Lucy isn't here.

And you know what?

Don't worry about it because

I didn't give you away.

I told your Mariana

that we've dated since high school.

That we've been married for 30 years.

We're very happy, very strong.

A big lie.

Carla.

Don't call me again, Joaquín.

Don't look for us again.

Sara.

-Be careful, it's very hot.

-Thanks. Thanks.

Hey, you know something?

A long time ago

I had a boyfriend like you.

What do you mean?

Andrés was

impulsive, unpredictable.

When when he was very anxious,

nobody could handle him.

He thought everything

could be solved with force.

Look, those volatile personalities

aren't that great.

Joel has never acted like that.

Well, it's a warning.

And you can't ignore it, Sara,

because in the same way

they can be passionate, so

romantic,

they can be violent,

and it's dangerous for you.

And what happened to your boyfriend?

Well, your ex.

He was k*lled.

He was k*lled.

Miss, the trauma doctor

needs to speak with you.

Excuse me.

-Doctor, hello.

-How are you?

How are you? Eliana.

A pleasure. The patient Tino Domínguez

has only presented trauma to the muscle.

-Does that mean he'll be able to walk?

-Yes.

Due to the bruising,

he will need assistance and

he will be in a lot of pain.

But the bigger problem is his ankle.

-There's a fracture

-May I?

Yes.

There's a fracture, it will require

a very costly and complicated operation.

That doesn't matter.

What's important

is that he's not in any danger.

I'm so happy to

well, we're happy knowing that he's okay.

Sorry, what is your relationship

to the patient?

-Friends.

-Friends.

Okay.

-Doctor, could I?

-Could we go see him?

Yes, yes, of course. Um

A couple minutes,

remember, he's sedated. Come with me.

Tino.

I have a rotten soul, Viche.

Tell me,

what kind of person

hurts his own blood? Huh?

Do you think God will forgive me?

Or is what I do evil?

Tell me, is what I do evil?

The devil I've had inside me

since I was in prison, Viche.

The devil and the past eating me alive.

What do you think?

How's it going, Viche?

And this music? You're spoiling the night.

Put on something to dance to.

Don't do anything, Viche.

I'm putting on the music.

No one's changing it.

If you want to cry,

go somewhere else, n*gro.

Easy, Joel.

Nobody changes the music!

Stop it!

Stop! Stop!

You're going to k*ll each other.

Stop, please!

Stop!

f*cking white people.

Okay, gentlemen, relax,

this one's on the house.

Want to k*ll each other?

Joel, Joel!

What's going on, guys?

What is this? You're going to k*ll him.

You'll k*ll him, leave!
