[crowd] Allegra! Allegra! Allegra!

[woman] Allegra.

Allegra, do you know what time it is?

Uh, I don't know. Probably...

It's past 4:00 in the morning.

Okay. Okay. I couldn't sleep and...

And you're not letting anyone sleep.

I was listening to music
with my earbuds, Mom.

Yeah, and singing
as if you were at a concert.

I could hear your footsteps from my room.

Please, I'm asking you, go to sleep.

I need you to help me
at the bookstore tomorrow.

No! No, I can't tomorrow.

[scoffs] Oh, are you on vacation?

What do you have to do?

Uh... My own things, Mom.

Ah, the bookstore is
one of your things too.

Go to sleep.

Allegra, the poster.

I've asked you a thousand times
to take it down.

It's my room, Mom.

Your room is in my house.

Go to sleep.

[man] Allegra.

Shh.

[whispering] I'm here. Come on.

[clattering]

-I'm fine. I'm fine.
-Be quiet, my mom is sleeping!

She's sleeping? Why didn't you tell me
to come in the door?

No, it was too risky.

Oh, no, of course.
And coming in through the window isn't.

It's late, Félix.
I thought you weren't coming.

Sorry. I got caught up writing
the sh**ting script for the short.

I spent all night on it.
I haven't slept at all.

I promise that
when the auditions are over,

I'm going to focus 100% on your short.

But right now, the only thing
I can think about is Freaky Friday.

I can't miss out on this opportunity.

Who knows when there's going to be another
casting for an Eleven O'Clock production?

Relax. Relax. I get it.

Here. It's all here.

All what?

-Is this necessary?
-We already talked about this, Félix.

-[sighs]
-Ah!

I'm leaving you a speaker too.

A speaker? What's the speaker for?

[Allegra] You'll understand
when you listen to what I sent you.

Wouldn't it have been easier
to try to convince your mom?

I mean, I'm just saying.

No. You know how she gets.

She doesn't want to hear anything
about musical theater.

She's just like Katherine.

Who?

Ellie's mom in Freaky Friday.
Katherine never understood her daughter.

Basically, she doesn't understand
the word "empathy." [gasps]

-Just like Mom.
-[chuckles]

I hope you haven't decided to switch
bodies to get her to understand you.

[laughs] That's not in my plans for now,
so don't worry.

And what do you plan to do? Mmm? Because
sooner or later she's going to find out.

Yes, that's a problem for the future,

and right now,
I want to live in the present.

Okay, it's late.

-Ready?
-I have to go.

-Thanks for covering for me.
-[laughs]

-I don't know what I'd do without you.
-I hope you still feel the same way

-when you're part of Eleven O'Clock.

You can go in. Next.

Your ID and registration form, please.

And if you're a minor, the permission slip
from your parent or guardian.

[laughs]

[chattering]

If you can't read the writing,
I can read it for you, so you don't...

Your number.
You can head to the rehearsal room.

[laughs]

Next, please.

-[woman vocalizing]
-[chattering]

Hello everyone. The first phase
of auditions is about to start

for Eleven O'Clock's next big hit,
Freaky Friday.

-Do you guys know what it's about?
-I'll tell them, okay?

It's a story about a mom and daughter
who have a very bad relationship.

Until one day, through
a magical hourglass, they switch bodies.

They learn to understand each other.

So here we are.
The big day is finally here.

The general casting call is today.
Singer auditions will be in a few days.

And then later, the final and
most difficult part, freestyle auditions.

Oh, my God. What are you doing with that?

What do you mean? What?
I'm trying a new look.

-I found it at home.
-Is it Freddy Krueger's?

-Whose?
-Freddy Krueger's.

You're Félix's brother and you
don't know who Freddy Krueger is?

Freddy Krueger?

You know Alan. He's one of
my classmates from theater school.

We met a few months ago,
getting ready for the audition.

And we've been inseparable ever since.

There are a lot of people trying out.
So, wish us luck.

And comment if you think that Sofía
should let me out of the friend zone.

Allegra.

-What are you doing here?
-What are you doing here?

What do you mean?
I'm here for the audition.

Me too, but I didn't know you
would be here. Félix didn't mention it.

[scoffs] Now you see how good
the communication is

-between me and my brother.
-[laughs]

Sofía, this is Allegra, my neighbor.

-Allegra, this is Sofía. She's...
-Your friend.

Friend.

I'm so nervous.
I've never been to an audition.

And?

I'm going to change.

I'm going to change too.

Please, remember not to lose
your numbers, okay? Hold on to them.

[whispering] Good luck, honey.

That's enough, Dad.

[Félix] Audio one,
answers about breakfast.

Audio two, answers about possible outings.

Audio three, answers to stall time. Okay.

Allegra, are you awake?

[cell phone beeps]

[Allegra on phone] I'm tired.
Let me sleep a little more.

No, it's late.
I need you to help me at the bookstore.

[beeps]

[Allegra] Thanks, but I'm not hungry.

What did you say?

[beeps]

[Allegra] I'll be there in a bit.

No, now. I'll wait for you downstairs.

[sighs]

[chattering]

Diego. Diego.

[Diego] Yes.

Are we ready?

Yes, Greta, all the kids are here.

-All right. Good morning.
-[all] Good morning.

[Greta] Welcome to Eleven O'Clock.

My name is Greta.

And I want to tell you
that only a few of you

will have the privilege
of joining the company.

I was on this stage too
when I was your age,

and I know what that means.

All I can ask you for is dedication.

Complete and utter dedication.

Okay. Pay attention.
First group, get ready.

And music.

Why isn't Allegra answering?

Where is she?

I can't betray my friend.

Would Luke Skywalker betray Yoda? Mmm?
Would Iron Man betray Captain America?

Well, actually Iron Man did
betray Captain America.

-But that was another movie. I can't...
-Félix!

Where is Allegra?

Calm down. Calm down.

Allegra told me
that she was going to tell you everything,

when her dream comes true.

Her dream? What are you talking about?

Uh...

Uh, let's see. In the... Don't worry.

At some point,
the truth will come out, right?

-What are you doing here?
-[murmuring]

[woman] What's going on?

-[Allegra] Mom, I...
-We're going home. "Mom," nothing.

Let's go.

OMG. What a spectacular entrance.

Fitting for a Sharp.

Y'all don't go unnoticed, huh?

Caterina, it's so good to see you.

It's been so long.

You're going to have to leave.
We're in the middle of an audition here.

I came for my daughter.
Allegra has no reason to be here.

-Mom, calm down, please...
-Get your things.

The audition isn't over.

Your daughter is very talented, Caterina.

Well, she gets it from her grandma, no?

I didn't give permission for my daughter
to participate in this audition.

Allegra is a minor. You should be
a little more responsible and check...

I'm sorry.
I have a signed consent right here.

No, I didn't sign anything.

But it's your signature.

That is not my signature.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Did you forge your mother's signature?

Oh, no, I love her. I love her.
I love that attitude.

Did you hear that?
That is what I want in this audition.

That's the attitude. She's a hurricane.

Mom, please, I'm begging you
to let me finish the audition...

No way. Forget about this audition.

I don't want you to be
a part of Eleven O'Clock. Let's go.

[chattering]

[door closes]

Why can't I do what I love?
I don't understand. It doesn't make sense.

[Caterina] Welcome to adulthood, Allegra.

Lesson number one:
lots of things don't make sense,

or they make sense because I say so.
You're a minor, and I'm your mother.

That doesn't make sense.
I need you to sign the permission slip.

No. I already told you
that you have to finish high school.

I'm sick of you
always telling me what to do.

You never put yourself in my shoes.

That's not true.

Do you know how long I've been practicing
and preparing for this day?

I've always dreamed
of joining Eleven O'Clock.

How could you lie to me like this?

[Allegra] You left me no choice.

Don't put this on me. It's not my fault.
Why didn't you tell me the truth?

It's impossible to talk to you
about what I want to do.

I can't even have a poster
of Grandma in my room.

Don't change the subject.
The problem is that you lied to me.

No. The problem is that
I want to perform musical theater

and you, for some unknown reason, refuse.

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

-Enough, Allegra!
-[Allegra] Why?

Why can't I say her name?
She's my grandma.

What happened between you two?
I want to know the truth.

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

[horn honks]

-[Allegra] Mom!
-[glass shatters]

Forgive me, Mom.

[monitor beeping]

Forgive me.

It was my fault.

I wish I could change what happened.

[nurse] Ma'am, we can't allow
just anyone in here.

[woman] I'm not just anyone.
I'm her mother.

Allegra.

I would recognize you anywhere.

You have the stature and beauty
of a Sharp.

Grandma.

"Cocó." Call me "Cocó."

The word "grandma" should be banned.

I would have liked to meet you
under other circumstances.

Me too.

But I'm really happy you're here.

Thank you for coming.

You don't have to thank me.
You were right to call me.

How are you? Were you hurt?
Did you get checked out?

Yes, yes, I'm fine.

I spent the night in observation,
but they've discharged me.

What a relief.

Caterina will be okay. I promise you.

I don't know what to do, Cocó.

Get some rest.

And don't worry about anything.

I'm here now,
and I'll take care of everything.

[thunder rumbling]

[sighs]

What's wrong?

[sighs]

It's been so long
since I've been in this house.

Everything is different.

Different how?

It doesn't matter.

Why don't you go rest?

I was about to tell you the same thing.

You go ahead. I'll be up in a minute.

-See you tomorrow.
-See you tomorrow.

[Allegra] It's impossible to talk to you
about what I want to do.

I can't even have a poster

[Caterina] Don't change the subject.
The problem is that you lied to me.

[Allegra] The problem is that

That was "Dress for Success" by Roxette
in position number two,

the Swedish band
that topped the world charts.

-And now...
-[static on radio]

[announcer continues, indistinct]

[Cocó] Let's go, Caterina.

[gasps]

Stop dillydallying.

[Caterina] That's my specialty.

I have to stop by the video store
on the way.

-[Cocó] Hurry up. We're going to be late.
-[Caterina] One minute.

-I have an idea.
-[whispering] Mom?

[Caterina] If I don't write it down,
I'm going to forget.

-You know how frustrating this is?
-Cocó?

[Cocó] Caterina,
can you write in your diary later?

It's not my diary.

If you ever listened to me,

you'd know that
I'm writing something else.

-[Cocó] Are you ready?
-Yes.

But I need to find something first.

[sighs]

-[Caterina] Hi, Grandma.
-Good morning.

[Caterina] I had an idea for the end
of chapter one of my story,

but I need to check something.

I'm looking for a book by Connie Willis.

[grandmother] Ah. Look on the third shelf,
on the right.

-That one. You see it?
-[Caterina] Here it is.

[Cocó] We have to leave now!

-Here comes the witch.
-Don't say it.

How many times do I have to ask you
to be ready on time?

[grandmother] She can hear you
even if you don't shout.

Stay out of it, Mom, please.

Why don't you help me convince her
to come to her senses?

I would love to, Amelia,
but you asked me to stay out of it.

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

I'm Cocó, Mom. Cocó Sharp.

Lucía. My great-grandmother.

All right. And? Are you coming or not?

-[Cocó] Okay.
-We can't be late.

Go. Go on. Go on. Go. Go.

I haven't finished it.

[laughs]

Relax.

My quota for savage critiques
is reserved just for Cocó.

I promise you

that you will absolutely be
the first person to hear my new song.

I'd better be.

[clears throat] Well, well, well.

Marco.

Diego.
Will you come with me to get changed?

I have an idea for the new piece,
and it is k*ller.

Come on. Come with me.

Caterina.

How are you?

Couldn't be better.

Mmm.

[sighs]

Her attitude exhausts me,
the way she dresses, everything.

It exhausts me to talk about her.

I need to concentrate.
I was rehearsing choreography all night.

I was up all night playing with a new
console that Tomás brought me from Miami.

It irritates me that you call him "Tomás."
He's your dad.

Shh.

I don't want to talk about that here.

Someone might think
I'm here for the wrong reasons

and not because of my talent.

And, well, some of us have talent.
Others have influential parents.

Ouch.

I don't mean you. [laughs]

You're no competition.

I mean Caterina. Her days are numbered.

Your days are numbered too.
Opening night is almost here.

Yes. And when that day comes,
I will be "Ellie."

Not to worry, sweetie
You were born for that role.

Yes, but sometimes talent needs
a little extra help.

total commitment.

That's it for today.

Except you, Caterina.

She's talented and very ambitious too.

You can't let her win.

to be yours, whatever it takes.

[Caterina] Yes, Mom.

I'll give it my best.

I hope so.

Remember that the one who plays "Ellie"
on opening night

will be in all the press releases.

And she'll play her
the rest of the season.

Don't let me down.

Okay.

One more thing.

Your big leap wasn't perfect.

You lost your balance
