"Now, he hasn't taken a dump for five days." "All you feed him is Mucilon, Mucilon, Mucilon." "You can't feed him only that." "Feed him fruit, proper food." "Poor thing, come evening he eats what likes." "It makes him happy." "What he likes..." "Children don't get to want anything." "You spoil him too much." "It's easy for you to say." "It's hard to raise a kid alone." "You come home and want to see his little smile." "I'm sorry." "Are you done?" "I'm done, thank you." "Would you like anything else?" "I'd like another Guaraná, please." "You don't want anything else?" "No, thank you." "My food wasn't any good." "He didn't eat anything." "Didn't eat anything." "It was..." "No, it was Guaraná."

"Of course we have, but we... right?" "I wouldn't go crazy." "I wouldn't smoke a lot." "Don't believe me then." "What can I do?" "If you're saying it's not yours, then I believe you." "So you believe him?" "Yeah." "We're having a nice talk." "That's right, I'm giving him an opportunity to talk." "If you want, you can smoke pot, love." "Just not this much." "If it were mine, I'd say it." "Maybe a friend of his put it there as a prank." "A friend, huh?" "Pour some for me, please." "A friend." "Alright." "So you mantain it's not yours?" "Then I will throw it away." "Can I do that?" "It's not yours, it's not Carlos', it's not mine either, so I'll throw it away." "Go ahead, if you think it's best." "Don't complicate things." "I believe you." "You believe me?" "Pass me the dessert, please?" "It's delicious." "Are you hungry?" "Do you like it, Fabinho?" "I'm going to get the syrup." "Excuse me." "Val!" "Um... is there syrup?" "Over there." "Can you get it for me, please?" "You have nothing in your head." "Window, little window, door, doorbell." "I'm a grown man, Val." "Stop it." "He is so cute, he is so adorable." "He is little Val's, he is... so cute..." "He is... so adorable..." "Look, you learned how to wash behind your ears!" "We are back with "I Want to Be Fashionable."" "Well, as we said before commercials, fashion is today really democratic." "For example, today as I was leaving home as I was driving along the river there was a group of teenagers at the bus stop and it was really a... it was a party." "Their clothes were colorful." "They were wearing mismatched sneakers." "But at the same time there was harmony, you know?" "Yes." "Hi." "If you were there, you'd see each influence." "Hello?" "They mix it together, it's so cool how they repurpose clothes..." "Hi!" "Who is it?" "Hi!" "I can't hear..." "Jéssica, is that you?" "Hi, my daughter." "Hi." "What happened?" "Oh man!" "Don't you say!" "You're coming to São Paulo?" "Don't do this to your mom." "You got to be kidding me." "No, I like it." "I think it's good." "But there's no..." "Listen, there is no more time." "How long has it been since Fabinho signed up?" "On the Internet?" "You can do that?" "I'm going." "Where are you going so gussied up?" "Fabinho, take care of your own life." "Show some respect!" "Dona Bárbara..." "Hi." "There's something I need to talk about." "Wow, you smell good!" "Oh, my goodness." "By the way, Val, did you leave the lasagna there?" "I left it in the oven, it was too hot to go in the freezer." "Right, right." "Thank you, love." "Come early on Monday, OK?" "It's my birthday dinner." "How would I forget?" "OK?" "Thanks." "Kisses." "And uh..." "Kisses, love." "Bye." "Go away, Maggie." "Maggie, honestly, Maggie." "How long has it been?" "Since Pamela moved in, moved in with you?" "Four years!" "God, that long?" "And is it working out?" "Fabinho." "Fabinho, it's almost seven." "Hi." "Hi." "Please, we are recording here, can you make a little less noise?" "Thank you." "You are a woman who dictates style, a trendsetter," "Yeah, a little." "Define style for me." "Look, style has no secrets." "You know?" "You can't make anything up." "Style means getting to know yourself." "To accept yourself and..." "That's why I believe style is being who you are." "Marvelous." "You really are amazing." "Thank you." "Thank you, dear." "Pleasure." "The pleasure is all mine." "And happy birthday." "Thank you." "And cut." "Thank you, everyone." "See if you can come tonight." "Ah, alright.." "Thank you." "Happy birthday." "Thank you." "Will you call Janaina and let her know when it goes live?" "Of course, of course." "We are only going to pack up here..." "No, make yourself at home." "Thank you." "Happy birthday, Dona Bárbara." "Oh thank you, Val, thank you." "Wish you the best." "Have a great year." "Oh, I need it." "Now, please excuse the..." "You bought me a present?" "Thank you." "Can I open it?" "Yes, please." "Ah, let's see, let's see." "The lady at the store says it is selling like hotcakes." "Oh yeah, selling like hotcakes?" "Yeah, it's very popular." "Oh, look!" "Awesome!" "How pretty!" "Fantastic!" "You like it, don't you?" "I do." "Let's put it away, OK?" "Let's put it away for a special occasion." "In a moment..." "That's fine." "Ok?" "Take it for me and put it away." "Dona Bárbara?" "I'd like to have a conversation with you." "Go ahead." "Jéssica called me on Thursday." "Who's Jéssica?" "My daughter." "Ah, your daughter." "And Jéssica wants to..." "Wait a minute, just a minute, Val." "Hello." "Hi, Leo, how are you?" "I don't know, love." "No, call Janaina and check with her." "It's true." "Thank you, thank you, dear." "Kisses." "Bye." "Bye." "Right." "Jéssica... um... wants to come to São Paulo to stay with me." "Are you kidding?" "How wonderful, Val." "How great, right?" "What is she going to do here?" "She's taking her university admission exams." "Wow!" "What is she going to study?" "I don't know." "No, ma'am." "No?" "I don't know, madam." "But I wanted to check if at first only at first, if she could stay with us until I find a place." "Of course she can!" "Of course, sweetie." "You are practically a part of the family." "You helped me take care of Fabinho." "I don't know, it's such a mess." "How long has it been since you've seen each other?" "It's been more than ten years." "Wow!" "At first I wasn't able to go see her," "You remember the problem with her father." "I couldn't go." "But even after I got rid of that dead weight," "I was trying, and calling, and calling she didn't want to talk to me." "She never wanted to talk to me." "I knew she was right there." "They'd say "It's Val, your mom."" ""She went out, she went out."" "It's been more than three years since we last spoke." "I found it weird that she called saying she wants to come." "But are you looking for a place?" "Yes, I've been asking around for a little place to rent." "No pressure at all." "You can stay here for as long as you want, no problem at all." "Thank you." "I'm going to get a mattress to put in the room." "Buy a really nice one." "Buy a nice one, I insist on paying." "OK?" "Tell me how much and I'll pay you." "You're wonderful, like a mother to me." "Mother?" "Psh." "Here, don't forget the mousse cake." "OK?" "Kisses, sweetie." "Bye!" "Bye." "Trix Home." "Contains six cups, with saucers and a tray." "It goes like this." "But it's mismatched." "One black... and one white." "And then the white one with the black one," "And then the black one..." "There." "Oh, how pretty." "And here..." "Ah, it's mismatched." "A white one." "They like it like this, right?" "It's modern." "What about the thermos?" "Where does it go?" "Oh my!" "My god!" "The thermos is..." "So I have to take one out." "So to place the thermos," "I have to remove a cup?" "Maybe take the thermos like this?" "But then it wouldn't be presentable." "In the photo..." "No." "It's with the thermos." "The right way is with the thermos." "I'm going to hide this cup." "I can't stand it anymore." "For the love of God, give me something." "I'm not going to stand it." "Only one, you hear me, Skull?" "You're gonna refuse it to your fiancé, Val?" "Only one." "Show some respect, OK?" "Go cut your hair!" "It really is good, isn't it?" "What's wrong, Dona Bárbara?" "Val, for the love of God, not this one." "Where did you get this idea?" "I said we're taking it to the beach house." "But..." "Get the one made of... of white wood that I brought from Sweden, for the love of God, OK?" "But you said it was for a special occasion." "Right." "OK." "Good night." "Let's get going." "Val?" "Look." "A little gift for you." "You are pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty." "Thank you." "Oh my God." "Look at that." "Are you hungry, my daughter?" "No, it's alright." "You got scared, did you?" "No." "I have a little something here that Sandra sent you." "Do you want to take it already?" "What is this?" "It's better to give it to you now, or I'll forget" "She told me to give it to you." "It's coconut sweet.." "Oh, I love this coconut sweet.." "It smells good." "It's the jawbreaker." "I know which one she sends." "Let's go?" "Let's go." "Let's go home." "Let's go, let's leave." "You don't wanna eat?" "Not hungry?" "No." "I'm fine." "Are you sure?" "I'm fine." " Do you want me to carry anything?" "Do you want me to push?" "No." "I have a trolley." "You're so cute." "Your father?" "What about him?" "Your father." "How is he?" "He's not speaking to me." "What did you do?" "Just bullshit of his." "It wasn't bullshit for your dad to stop talking to you." "Are you liking it?" "Yes, where are we now?" "Marginal Tietê." "It's the Tietê River." "Oh, I see." "Alright, there, over here, look, is the Largo da Batata." "Oh, I've heard about this place." "There are more northeasterners here than in the northeast." "Isn't that what they say?" "It's how it used to be." "But to bring the subway here, look, they paved everything." "It looks like, I don't know what, it's not a square because there's no green at all." "They paved it and removed everything." "There was a lot of forró here." "So full of people." "Little bars, many nice stores, but now..." "You used to come here a lot?" "I did." "Raimunda and me." "Look, what is this?" "it's not a square." "It's not..." "I don't know what it is." "Will it still take a while for us to arrive?" "No, it's very near." "It will be about ten minutes." "They are very excited to meet you." "They are very anxious." "They?" "Who?" "Dona Bárbara, Dr Carlos, right?" "Fabinho, everyone." "Later we can make a visit, right?" "No, we're on our way." "I've just arrived, Val." "I'm tired." "We can make plans later." "No, we're going there now." "I live there!" "What do you mean you live there, Val?" "Are you taking me to your bosses' house?" "I live at work." "I've already said that." "I live at work." "You live in a tiny room in the back of their house?" "You're going to love Fabinho." "For the love of God, I can't believe this." "Calm down." "Calm down." "You're taking me to someone else's house?" "Alright." "This is my little corner." "You see?" "Look." "A TV, everything in its right place." "Ah, let me show you." "The brand new mattress that she bought for you." "First class." "Here, look... bed linen, towel, everything you need." "You hear?" "I don't know if the mattress will fit here." "Of course it will." "Look." "Let me open this for fresh air." "I'll pull it out now." "We'll sort it out later." "No." "It fits." "It's done." "OK, now we just need to cover it." "Now..." "Ah, you're taking a look." "You liked it, huh?" "This here is a juicer." "This is a... it's a fan, a good one, not a crappy one like this," "All this I bought for our little home." "Where am I going to study here?" "They're home." "They're home!" "Are you done, Fabinho?" "Fabinho?" "Yes." "Carlos, are you going to eat more?" "No." "Val!" "Yes?" "You can clear the table, please." "Be right there." "Excuse me." "Thank you." "Where is she, is she here?" "Jéssica?" "Yes, she is, ma'am." "Oh, yeah?" "Give me that, Fabinho." "Bring her for us to meet her." "Thank you, Val." "I'm curious." "I'll call her." "I'm going." "Jéssica?" "She's so happy." "How cute." "Come, my daughter." "Look, Dona Bárbara." "Oh, how beautiful." "Look, this is for you." "Oh my goodness." "Welcome." "What a pleasure." "Thank you." "We like your mom very much." "Your mom is very important to everyone here, and so are you." "How are you, Jéssica?" "OK?" "Make yourself at home." "Dr Carlos, and Fabinho..." "How's it going?" "Had you been to São Paulo before?" "No, I only knew it from pictures." "The internet, movies..." "She speaks like Val when she arrived." "What is that?" "Very similar." "Oh, yes." "Jéssica brought some coconut sweet." "Oh, nice..." "Actually, we call it jawbreaker." "I'm going to get a piece." "No, I don't want..." "it just..." "I can't even get near it it fattens you just by looking at it." "It's delicious." "Looks nice." "Very delicious." "Your mom says you're applying for university, is that right?" "Yes." "What will you be studying?" "Architecture." "Architecture?" "At FAU?" "Yeah, at FAU." "What is it, Dona Bárbara, what's the problem?" "It's just that FAU is one of the hardest universities to get into." "Is it true, Dona Bárbara?" "Yes, it's very competitive." "I'm aware." "But the school there, was it good?" "The teaching there?" "Yes." "No, it wasn't very good." "Oh, poor thing." "But I always had help." "I met a history teacher," "João Emanuel, who helped me a lot." "How did he help you?" "Oh, he... had a very critical outlook." "So he gave us lots of important things to think about." "He put our minds to work, created a theater group..." "And why architecture?" "Why did you choose Architecture?" "Ah, there are many things, I think." "I've always liked to draw, so that makes it easier." "And I have an uncle who is a contractor, Uncle Adejar." "Yeah, Adejado, Evicto, and Adejar, the three siblings." "And then I helped him and I learned many things too at the same time." "And then I made floor plans." "I made a floor plan for a house they ended up building..." "Look at that." "I think it's important to have a diploma." "Of course." "And I believe that architecture is an instrument for social change." "You see?" "The country is really changing." "Would you look at that?" "Amazing." "Very good." "Very good." "Good luck." "This house has a modernist touch, doesn't it?" "Without being exactly modernist." "Wow, your daughter's intelligent, Val." "You should see her report card." "It's all As from top to bottom." "Val, will you bring me a glass of water, please?" "Yes, sir." "I'm not intelligent, I'm curious." "Isn't that the same thing?" "I really wanted to read this book, I was looking for it." "And you have time to read stuff other than the required reading?" "I like to read." "Thank you." "Then take it, take it to read." "Can I?" "Of course." "Come see the pool." "Val, would you turn the pool lights on, please?" "It's so beautiful, isn't it?" "It's beautiful." "I like to read, too." "Yeah." "Fabinho is also a very good student." "Aren't you, Fabinho?" "Right, Dr. Carlos?" "Good student." "Let's go see Fabinho's room?" "They are all en-suite, aren't they?" "Look, Jéssica." "Fabinho and Mickey Mouse." "Fabinho was like this when I arrived." "Ah, so cute." "The renowned Fabinho." "And you are the renowned Jéssica." "What about that door?" "It's the guest room, right?" "Yes, the guest room." "Want to see?" "Another en-suite." "What a comfortable mattress!" "Jéssica!" "I'm sorry, sir." "Such a good mattress and no one sleeps here?" "It's the guest room." "So it's where I'm gonna stay?" "Did you lose your mind?" "Do you want to stay here?" "For the love of God!" "For the love of God!" "Do you want to stay?" "Yeah, it would be good to study here." "Bárbara!" "Bárbara!" "No, Jéssica." "You'll stay in my room." "Did you lose your mind?" "What happened?" "Jéssica is going to stay here." "It's OK." "It's better if she stays in my room." "It has already been arranged that way." "Dona Bárbara even bought a mattress." "So comfortable." "No, Dr Carlos, there's no need." "She can stay with me." "Make yourself at home." "Alright." "I'll go get my things." "I'll come in a bit." "Jéssica stop being pushy!" "Pushy?" "But he's inviting me." "Only because you said, "It's here I'm staying."" "Ah." "It's you." "I can't sleep, Val." "Fabinho, I'm tired." "But I'll sleep here, alright?" "Alright, but no chatting." "Because tomorrow I wake up early." "What's gotten into you?" "I can't sleep." "I'll stay here with you." "Over here." "Fabinho." "What?" "And Jéssica?" "What about Jéssica?" "What did you think about her?" "A little strange, right?" "Strange how?" "I don't know." "Too sure of herself." "Yeah, she is too sure of herself." "That's it." "She's sure of herself." "Those eyes of hers." "She looks at everything like she's the president." "Fabinho?" "Huh?" "Val?" "Val?" "Good morning." "Good morning." "Were you with your mother?" "I haven't seen her today." "Do you know where she might be?" "She's probably sleeping." "Weird, I went to her room, knocked and she didn't answer." "Have you eaten?" "I just woke up." "Do you want to eat?" "Oh, let me see." "Excuse me." "There is... there's bread... white bread, brown bread..." "Let me get a cloth for you here." "Sit down." "What do you want to drink?" "What kind of juice is that?" "it's Palestinian Sweet Lime." "You're not going to drink it?" "No, I'll make you some." "Do you want it?" "Sure." "Is it good?" "Do you like it?" "I liked it." "Good, right?" "It's good for you." "Jeez." "Oh, Dona Bárbara, this has never happened to me before." "I think the alarm didn't go off, I completely lost track of time." "It's OK." "What would you like to have?" "Toast?" "No, I've eaten." "No, I'll make you toast." "You don't need to." "I'm already leaving, Val." "For the love of God, Dona Bárbara." "Your daughter loved the jelly." "Bye." "What was that?" "Jéssica..." "Who put the breakfast table?" "Bárbara." "Goodness, it's not "Bárbara"." "It's Dona Bárbara." "You sound like you're crazy." "Bárbara..." "And you can't sit at their table." "Which one is their table?" "It's that one." "And where's the other one?" "I don't see it." "Am I going to eat standing?" "She was the one who told me to sit here." "Get off that table." "I'm eating." "Hold on." "Get off the table!" "I'm eating, Val." "Let me finish." "Blessed Mary." "What were you thinking?" "The maid's daughter sitting at the bosses' table." "They aren't my bosses, Val." "Val?" "Aren't you going to call me mom?" "I can." "Thank you." "There, I'm done." "Blessed Mary, I have never seen such a thing." "You're crazy." "You have no clue about anything." "Leave that for me to wash, go." "Go." "I'm going to study in my room." "That's right, go." "Hi, son." "What do you want, sweetie?" "Juice." "Do you want a tostie?" "Yes." "Put the ladder next to the bushes." "There." "Now." "Faster, Edna." "Here." "Pay attention." "Pay attention." "Pretend you are pruning and I'll pretend I'm watering." "And keep spying." "Pretend you are pruning and I'll pretend I'm watering." "Do you understand?" "Understand?" "This is wobbly." "Hold it for me." "She's reading..." "What is she doing?" "She's reading." "She has a book like this." "Reading?" "Yes." "She's sitting." "She must be studying." "She could be sleeping, I can't see her face." "She is studying." "She got up." "She lay in bed," "Pretend you are pruning and I'll pretend I'm watering." "And now, what is she doing?" "I don't know if she's going to bed..." "She grabbed the book." "Don't let her see you." "Don't." "Get down." "Get down." "Get down." "She never stops." "Get down." "Gonna go crazy." "Give it to me." "Give me." "Jéssica?" "Hold on." "It's mom, Jéssica." "Hold on." "OK." "This here is Edna." "She works with me." "She's a little sister I have here in São Paulo." "It's a pleasure." "Likewise." "She looks like you, huh?" "Yeah." "You think so?" "I think she looks like her father." "Pretty, but she looks so thin, look." "So, uh..." "Edna wants to come in for a bit." "To vacuum, clean the room." "Don't worry." "I've already tidied up." "Everything is in the right place all cleaned up." "So..." "No, it's that Dona Bárbara, she..." "She's very picky about this, so I have to vacuum." "Yeah, she..." "Does she really check everything?" "With her finger." "Get your things." "Let's go upstairs." "It's just that I'm studying, Val." "Everything is here." "No, let's go." "Grab your book and let's go study in the kitchen with me." "It's cool there, right?" "It's just that Edna is going to vacuum." "I'll go get the rest of my things." "I don't know what's worse Clodomil or Pingulim." "I didn't like it, either." "But Pingulim sounds nicer." "Don't you think?" "Poor thing." "Each name worse than the other." "Yeah." "So, are you enjoying São Paulo?" "I only arrived yesterday." "Aren't you going to help your mom with the work?" "Shh..." "I can help." "What do you need?" "Keep drawing, keep drawing, my daughter." "Keep drawing." "Hi, girls." "Hi, Dr Carlos." "Hi." "What do you want in my fridge?" "I want a Guaraná." "Guaraná." "Had fun at the country club?" "It was really hot." "Very hot." "It's about to rain a lot." "Thank you." "It's hot." "Sir, come and see." "She's very good at drawing." "No, I told you it's not done, Edna." "Let me see." "Let me see." "Look, it's not done yet." "Look at that." "Very good." "Did you take any classes?" "No, I didn't." "That's why you draw well." "Let's go see my studio." "Can she go, Val?" "Let's go." "Can I?" "Let's go?" "Val, can you set the table?" "Yes, sir." "I'll do that now." "You're in trouble." "Once I spent six months on one palette." "To create each color?" "Yes, to come up with these colors." "it's very beautiful." "Beautiful?" "Very." "It's a pity you have it stored away." "You have to hang it on a wall." "Put it on yours." "Really?" "I'm serious." "Did you like it?" "This one?" "Yeah." "I'm giving it to you as a gift." "It is so lovely." "For me?" "Yes." "How am I going to carry this?" "You have to use Dante's car." "Thank you." "Wow, I don't even know how to pack this." "I'll help you." "I fell in love with this one." "Yeah?" "You fell in love?" "Very beautiful." "And why did you stop painting?" "I stopped painting because I stopped smoking." "No, I'm just kidding." "There are some more pictures here." "I think there are pictures of your mom." "Here, it's Val." "Awesome." "She looks like those babysitters on TV, dressed in white." "I stopped because everyone said I was the best, you know?" "And I believed them." "I don't know, a lot of things happened," "I ended up quitting." "You stopped working?" "How do you get money?" "Does Bárbara provide for you?" "Bárbara provides for us?" "No?" "Uh-uh." "I know it doesn't look like it but the dough is mine." "My dad worked a lot, saved a lot, and I inherited it." "Everyone dances, but I pick the music." "Excuse me." "Hi, Val." "I've set the table for lunch." "Can Jéssica have lunch with me?" "Jéssica?" "Yeah." "Are you the one inviting her?" "Of course I am." "Can you put another plate on the table?" "Yes, sir." "Sorry?" "Yes, sir." "Oh, OK." "Ah, and don't tell Bárbara I was smoking or I'll be in trouble." "Don't worry." "Don't worry." "We can come back later." "We'll be back." "Have you been there?" "No?" "I think it's eleven, twelve, thirteen stories high." "And it's the Department of Development for the Northeast." "And it's a building that is actually similar to Copan, I think." "There's a modernist touch to it." "I'd like to see Copan." "Yeah, we have to go." "Let's go." "Let's go?" "Of course." "Of course." "You have to see it." "You have to see the Modernist House." "Val?" "Yes?" "Val?" "Be right there." "Will you clear the table?" "It was very good, wasn't it?" "Let me help you." "No, no, let Val clear the table." "No, no, Val will do it." "What about the Sugar Loaf?" "No, just from pictures." "Will you bring us coffee, Val?" "Are there any sweets, Val?" "Bring some ice cream." "What do you think?" "About Brasília?" "I find it a bit strange." "The sweet you brought was very good." "Wasn't it?" "Thank you Val." "Oh, Val, not this one." "I meant the almond chocolate one." "Fabinho's?" "It's not his." "It's ours, it's Jéssica's." "The almond chocolate one." "Fabinho's ice cream?" "The almond chocolate one." "Have you been there?" "Yes, I've been to Brasília a few times." "Now when Fabinho wants ice cream..." "The bean broth is excellent." "There's no way to eat without beans." "Let me serve, Val." "Look how nice." "It looks tasty." "This one is good." "Thank you." "I'll s..." "No, let me serve." "Have you had it before?" "Never." "Not in a little pot like this." ""Are there any sweets?"" "She asked, "Are there any sweets?"" "Are there any sweets..." "She doesn't even get up when you enter the kitchen." "Edna." "Please." "I'm the one talking about Jéssica." "It's not for you to talk about her." "I'm talking about Jéssica." ""Are there any sweets?"" "And bla bla bla." "Visiting I don't know what with Dr Carlos." "It's like she doesn't have any clue about anything in this life." "God!" "God!" "Edna!" "Look at that." "I pushed so strongly that..." "You're very nervous." "Let me fix it." "These old things..." "The hallway... here's the dining room, the living room, see?" "The things here on this floor." "Over here." "And down there, on the lower floor, is your room." "And why is this called a blueprint?" "Good question." "I don't know." "You don't?" "No." "But is that what you want to do?" "Yeah, more or less." "Val?" "It's not just this." "Val?" "Be right there." "Will you clear the table, please?" "Val, will you bring me ice cream, please?" "Can you give me a little bit, Val?" "This ice cream is Fabinho's." "But he said I could." "When they say that, when they offer something that is theirs, it's out of politeness." "It's because they're sure that we're going to say no." "Thank you." "Are you dating someone?" "No." "If you're going to have ice cream, have this one, that's ours." "It's very impressive, isn't it?" "It's like the buildings never end." "We look over there..." "But there is something I keep thinking, something really cool I saw on TV." "It was a show that talked about the possibility of us not existing anymore." "And they said that in one hundred years it would all be taken over by plants." "They would have grown back and I keep thinking about it." "I think that's interesting." "One hundred years?" "Not a long time, is it?" "Not sure if it was a hundred." "I can't remember." "Thanks for the day out." "I really enjoyed it." "No problem." "I'm sorry, José Carlos." "I'm sorry." "Hello?" "Hi." "Hi Janaina." "What?" "But what... is it serious?" "But what happened?" "OK." "Is she alright?" "OK." "I'll be right there." "Bárbara had an accident." "Was it serious?" "Apparently not." "She seems OK." "No, we're going." "Of course." " I need to go." "She hit her head?" "Well, she hurt her forehead." "Holy Mary." "And her shoulder." "She hurt her forehead?" "Her forehead and her shoulder, and they said she was nervous..." "Dona Bárbara was nervous?" "Yeah, she was in a car crash." "It scared her." "What a scare, oh my god." "How do they keep the water so clean, Val?" "Don't even look at that pool, Jéssica." "It's not for you." "I didn't say anything." "You didn't say it but you thought it." "I know." "You hear me?" "You've never swum here before?" "Am I supposed to go swimming in someone else's house?" "Never?" "Never." "And if one day they ask you to swim here, you'll say, "I have no bathing suit, I can't." Understood?" "Sure." "Hey, Val." "Little Val!" "Don't do that, Skull!" "Ow!" " My beloved!" "Get your hair away from me!" "That hairy guy is Skull." "Comb your hair to talk to my daughter." "How is it going?" "This is Jéssica." "Nice to meet you." "Are we going to swim or what?" "That boy's a clown." "What about you, Jéssica?" "You're coming?" "It's so nice." "I have no bathing suit." "Come in like this, Jéssica." "No, I'm dressed." "I think it's your mother." "It's Dona Bárbara." "Go away!" "Stop, stop, stop." "Stop, stop, no." "No!" "Stop!" "You want to sit up, right?" "Yes." "Who's in the pool?" "Fabinho?" "Fabinho and Skull." "Oh, OK." "The two of them." "I hear someone else." "Who is it?" "Jéssica?" "No, Jéssica is only there waiting for me." "She was just looking." "But..." "I'll see what this commotion is about." "Excuse me." "Go away!" "No!" "Stop it!" "Jéssica!" "Get out of there, Jéssica!" "Jéssica, get out of there, now." "Dr Carlos is here, Jéssica." "Fabinho!" "I don't know what she's thinking..." "I'm going there, Dr Carlos." "The construction workers are all looking." "Fabinho!" "Carlos?" "Carlos, help me." "José Carlos, help me!" "Oh, Fabinho!" "What a stupid prank, Fabinho." "Take her out of there." "Jéssica, get out of there!" "Get out of there!" "I'm going!" "Get out, Jéssica!" "Can you obey your mother?" "She's talking to you." "Get out of the water!" "Listen to your mother." "She's going to catch a cold." "Listen to Dr Carlos, Dona Bárbara." "I'm going." "Have you lost your mind?" "Get out of that pool." "Jéssica!" "Look." "I'm going, Val." "You are taking too long." "Come, come... come!" "You don't need to grab me like that." "Come, Jéssica!" "I'm going to get a towel." "Where's the towel?" "Wait, you're naked." "Are you crazy?" "Fabinho?" "Fabinho!" "Get out of there, I want to talk to you." "Mom, don't make a scene." "Now, Fabinho." "Dad, look..." "Now, Fabinho!" "Listen to your mother, Fabinho." "I'm going." "Are you high?" "Have you smoked today?" "High?" "What are you on about?" "What am I on about?" "Fabinho, I was in an accident." "Did you know that?" "That I was unconscious?" "That the ambulance took me to the hospital?" "That I'm all busted?" "But the doctor said you were OK." "You didn't even come see me, Fabinho?" "You didn't come see me, man." "You don't give a fuck about me." "You didn't even come see me." "Calm down, mom." "Calm down?" "Calm down... great." "May I go now?" "Go." "OK, bye." "Do you have the number for the pool maintenance guy?" "Call him, please." "Do you have it there?" "Yes." "Give it to me." "I'll talk." "Press Talk." "Claudio?" "Hi, it's Bárbara from Morumbi." "I know." "But I need you to come tomorrow." "Can you?" "Yeah, something went wrong here." "Go on, Maggie." "Stop sniffing around." "Poop quicker, Maggie." "I'm out of patience today." "Even for you, you hear?" "But you did everything to make him throw you in the pool." "You weren't even looking, Val." "You don't know what you're saying." "I'm telling you I want to leave this place." "It is better that way." "Didn't I say that from the start?" "This is not working." "It really isn't." "And I told you so." "I don't know where you learned that." "To say, "You can't do this, you can't do that."" "Was it written in a book?" "Who taught you that?" "When you arrived here, did they fill your head with that?" "No one needs to have it explained." "You are born knowing it." "What you can and what you cannot do." "It's like you're from another planet." "I know." "We are born knowing it." "How are you?" "I'm good, dear." "What's up?" "Did you find out how much for that room in Campo Limpo?" "I've spoken to them." "I talked to Adneia, and it's settled." "It's 400." "Good price, huh?" "400?" "It's great." "We'll take it, right?" "OK." "It's better this way." "I'll be back tomorrow." "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah, things aren't working out." "Why?" "What happened?" "You won't guess." "Nothing." "Tell you later." "She went into the pool..." "Holy moly." "Into Dona Bárbara's pool." "Come here later for us to talk." "Raimunda, I'm about to go crazy." "OK, bye." "So I'll take the pictures." "OK." "I'll choose the best ones," "OK." "I don't want you tiring yourself now." "You have to look beautiful and marvelous." "Dona Bárbara, we're leaving." "OK." "So you managed to find a place to stay?" "Pretty much." "OK." "Did you make the pie?" "Yes, ma'am." "Thank you very much, OK?" "So we're leaving." "Excuse me." "Good luck on your exams." "So, let's continue." "Dr Carlos..." "Hi." "Thank you." "Good luck." "It was a pleasure." "The pleasure was mine." "OK, let me..." "No, Dr Carlos, for the love of God." "Have a little treat." "Please." "For the love of God, I'm going to be embarrassed." "Don't worry." "Thank you." "See you later." "Bye." "Bye." "Is everything OK over there?" "Uh-huh." "Here, guys, come on in..." "Take a quick glance." "Is it here?" "Yes, here." "Strange, this doesn't look like a home." "Is this a house?" "Looks more like a beauty parlor." "Yeah, it used to be one before." "There's even a big mirror." "Raimunda, I think these walls are too red." "Don't you think it's too flashy?" "That's what makes it pretty!" "Just paint it, Val." "You think so, Jéssica?" "Yes, you can paint it." "Look here." "This window lets a fresh breeze in in the afternoon." "And there's an iron grating too." "It is totally secured." "The shower is brand new, and it's also very good." "Yeah, we're going to stay." "OK." "Did you like it?" "It's good, Val." "We'll make do." "Let's talk to Pedro downstairs." "I think it will work out." "Let's go have a nice talk with him." "But I said I wanted..." "Just a moment." "Raimunda, didn't you tell him I was sure?" "I did." "I said it was settled." "Raimunda said so." "The problem is that you didn't pay a deposit." "What deposit?" "I hadn't even seen the house." "How am I supposed to pay a deposit before the viewing?" "Alright, let's do this:" "I'll turn this place inside out to find you a house." "Can I see any today?" "Not today, but..." "I meant to stay here already." "Let me stay with you tonight, Bruna." "This is a bad week." "Edimilson is coming today." "Only for tonight." "I can't." "He only has one day off." "I need somewhere to sleep." "He only has one day off." "He's on his way." "Calm down, Jéssica." "I don't want to go back." "Only for a week." "We had agreed to stay." "It won't take long." "Are they treating you badly?" "No, that's not it." "Dr Carlos?" "Fabinho?" "Do you have a crush on Fabinho?" "That's not what I'm saying." "Dr Carlos pampers her, even." "Carlos?" "José Carlos!" "Yes?" "Her gracious little daughter is back." "Right, Val?" "Yes, uh, Dr Carlos?" "Only for a week." "Val, no problem at all." "Thank you so much." "The man broke his word." "Stay as long as you need, no problem." "Thank you." "It won't be long, Dona Bárbara." "Yeah, OK." "Hey, know what I saw in the pool?" "A rat, Val." "No way." "Can you believe it?" "Really?" "A rat." "I screamed from up here." "You are back." "The room didn't work out?" "No, it didn't." "Do you want water?" "I have a glass." "You know this house here is almost as if it were yours." "Anything you need..." "The house even felt a bit empty, you know?" "Thank you." "Do you believe in reincarnation?" "I don't know." "I've never given it much thought." "I don't." "I think this is it, you know?" "So..." "Sometimes we say things that may seem crazy, you know?" "But if I don't say it, maybe that'd be crazy if we only have one chance." "You know?" "Uh..." "Will you marry me?" "Marry me." "I'll take you anywhere you want." "Uh..." "It's hot, isn't it?" "Sorry, José Carlos." "No, I'm sorry." "I don't know what to say." "Yes." "Say yes." "Say yes." "Marry me." "No..." "Sorry." "I am..." "I don't..." "I don't understand." "I'm sorry, it's..." "I was just kidding." "I was kidding." "You were kidding?" "I was kidding." "It was a joke." "Wow, you scared me." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "She's coming to São Paulo." "She never visits, and since Jéssica had vacated the guest room," "I told her she could stay here, so... she is coming and I will need you to help Jéssica out." "Of course." "OK?" "She will go to my room." "Great." "Tell her to leave today." "Yes, ma'am." "Then there will be time to sort it all out." "Don't worry." "OK, thank you, Val." "But tell her to leave today, OK?" "Yes, ma'am." "Alright, thank you." "I should go, I have a pan on the stove." "Can't you open the window, Val?" "If I open the window, it'll be just as hot, only full of mosquitoes." "For real, Val, no idea how you can stand it." "How I can stand what?" "To be treated like a second-class citizen." "This is worse than India." "Don't even start with that fancy talk." "You are a snob, that's what you are." "It's all bullshit, that's what it is." "Stop swearing." "I don't like swearing." "You think you're all that." "You think you're better than everyone else, superior to everyone." "I don't think I'm better, I just don't think I'm worse, OK?" "There's a difference." "You are going to make me lose this job." "Fuck that." "Watch your mouth!" "Go wash your mouth with soap." "Respect me, I'm your mother." "Oh, no, you are not." "Sandra raised me." "Look, Sandra raised you with the money I sent her every month to pay for your school, for your dentist..." "Sandra got all the nice bits." "Sandra was with you, and I was here, working like a mule." "Yeah, Sandra is your mother..." "Sandra knows who wired her money every month." "I'm fed up, you know?" "Of hearing this kind of thing." "I'm sick and tired." "No, everything's alright." "I've been studying..." "But let me ask you." "How is he?" "Has he been asking about me?" "Really?" "Wish I'd seen it." "Look, I'll let you sleep." "We'll talk more later." "OK, kisses." "Want a smoke?" "Yeah." "Good stuff." "Drained the pool, did they?" "Yeah, my mom said she saw a rat here." "It's dangerous, could give you a disease." "Alright." "Are you a virgin?" "What kind of question is that?" "Do I look like a virgin?" "I don't know." "That look..." "You look like a virgin." "Me?" "You do." "I only look it." "I'm not." "Are you?" "Of course not." "You think I'm a rat." "What?" "I think I know already." "Already?" "You do?" "Ah, I think so." "I don't know." "You don't?" "I don't get it." "There you go." "FAU." "It's FAU." "Ah..." "This is where you'll be studying?" "Yeah." "Well, I want to." "Architecture and Urbanism." "I'm going to take Maggie downtairs." "Come, Maggie." "Come, Maggie!" "Maggie." "Come, Maggie." "Come." "She stinks because she fell in the pool and didn't dry well." "So this is why Fabinho's ice cream disappears." "I told you this is Fabinho's ice cream." "You are so stubborn." "Forgive me, Dona Bárbara." "I've said it again and again." "Since when is my great-grandmother tray broken?" "Val, it may not look like it, but this house is still mine." "Come here." "I want to talk to you." "Dona Bárbara, if you tell me where I can get this silver tray fixed, I'll take it there." "I'll do it." "I'll pay for everything..." "Val, this isn't the issue." "Val, that's not it." "That's not the problem." "The exams are tomorrow, right?" "Yes, ma'am." "After that, she'll leave, right?" "She will, yes, ma'am." "So while she's still here," "I'd like you to make sure she doesn't go beyond the kitchen door." "Yes, ma'am." "She won't go past the kitchen door." "Yes, that's it." "You can go, thank you." "You know how far she lives." "How are you going to get there now?" "You can't leave now." "I'll figure it out." "Oh, stubborn girl." "Don't go, Jéssica." " I can't stomach this." "I can't take this." "We'll sort it out." "Your exams are tomorrow, girl." "I have more to do than to put up with this shit." "If you aren't sick of it, then stay, but I'm done." "You should have stood by me!" "Jéssica, don't go." "Don't go in the rain." "Holy Mary!" "How will you go?" "I'll find a way." "I'm not afraid of water." "Where are you going?" "Go inside, Val." "There's nothing you can do." "Have you lost your mind?" "To go out in a storm like this?" "Forget it, Val." "Go back inside!" "Your exams are tomorrow." "You won't make it there, Jéssica." "Good luck, my daughter." "Go with baby Jesus in your arms." "Let's go?" "Let's go." "I'm worried." "What about the traffic?" "No, no, let's get going and I'll call him." "At least have a coffee." "It's still very early." "But it's better to be early than late." "What if there's an accident or something?" "We'd better go." "Right?" "Let's go." "Are you taking a cereal bar or something to eat?" "I got." "Got it." "Good luck." "Quite hard." "But do you think you did well?" "How am I supposed to?" "The answer keys are out." "Already?" "Yes, hold on." "Which one was yours?" "A...?" "Q, mom." "Q?" "Let me see." "What about Jéssica, Fabinho?" "Did you see her?" "Crap, Val." "No idea." "Val, can you excuse us, please?" "OK, can I start?" "Go ahead." "One, C." "Yeah." "Did you get it right?" "Yes." "Two, D." "I got it." "Yay." "Three, B." "Nope." "Four, A." "No?" "Mom, keep going, then we'll see." "Five, E." "You got nervous." "You knew all the answers, didn't you?" "You got nervous." "Damn, Val, two points short." "That's unfair." "Life goes on." "Fabinho," "Next year, you'll try again." "Excuse me." "Look how sad he is." "Why so sad, son?" "Now there's no use." "Hey..." "Cheer up." "It's over now." "Come here." "Fabinho, so Val can hug you and I can't?" "Val thinks I'm intelligent." "You think I'm dumb." "I don't think you're dumb." "I don't think you're dumb." "I think maybe..." "You didn't pass because you aren't sure what you want..." "You have doubts..." "Excuse me, Dona Bárbara," "Dona Bárbara, I'm so nervous I can't even speak." "What happened?" "Holy Mary, Jéssica called." "Yeah?" "Do you know how many points Jéssica got?" "How many?" "How many?" "Do you know how many points Jéssica got?" "68 points!" "68?" "Jéssica passed her exams." "Jéssica passed." "Wow, 68?" "I'm so nervous." "Congratulations, Val." "Thank you." "Congratulations, Val." "Holy Mary!" "68?" "I still can't believe it." "Yeah, I can't believe it either." "Incredible, isn't it?" "So..." "Impressive. 68." "Very good." "68, she said." "But Val?" "Look, just don't get too excited." "It was only the first round." "I know, ma'am." "She'll take another exam, and it's a lot harder..." "I can't believe it." "I know." "So..." "It's that she said she got 68, and 68 points is..." "It's very good, but she has to pass next time too." "It's useless if she doesn't pass." "But God willing, she will pass." "Yes, of course." "And so will Fabinho next year." "He'll pass, right, Fabinho?" "Don't be so sad, my treasure." "Well, life goes on, Fabinho." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "68..." "Really good, isn't it?" "Yeah." "Well, she studied." "She didn't do anything else." "All she did was study." "You have to study to pass." "You have to study." "I have to go." "Jéssica?" "My daughter?" "Hi, it's mom." "I'm calling to say good night." "I'm calling to say good night." "To say I'm very proud of you." "Now..." "Guess where I am." "Look..." "Can you hear?" "I'm in the pool!" "Yeah." "Yes, I am." "I'm very happy." "You hear me?" "Kisses..." "Look..." "Mom loves you." "Kisses." "Dr Carlos, it's eleven." "Come in, Val." "Excuse me." "Have you taken your medication?" "I have." "I want to congratulate you." "For Jéssica." "Goodness." "You raised your daughter very well." "Me?" "I also want... to apologize." "Apologize for what?" "You know." "I'm going to stay a little longer." "But..." "What can I do?" "Do you need anything?" "I want to sleep." "Gosh..." "Tell her the news." "Didn't I tell you?" "I'm going to live overseas for six months by myself." "Overseas?" "Where?" "In Australia, Val." "Holy Moly, how far!" "There is an incredible English school." "He can stay there and study." "I'm not liking this at all." "I'm going to miss him so much." "Six whole months?" "Look at this beach here." "Look how beautiful." "Very beautiful." "We're still looking into places to stay." "But it's so far." "My goodness, it's so far..." "Look." "It looks like Recife." "Look how cute." "It's crochet." "I bought it from Joelma." "Who lives with Pamela." "See how tidy it all looks?" "God writes straight with crooked lines." "This house is much better than the other one, isn't it?" "Jéssica, you're still mad at me." "You have to understand my side of the story." "And you should have stood by me." "And didn't I?" "I don't want to go into this." "I don't want to fight again." "Mother of God..." "I used to find you so beautiful." "So rich and graceful when you showed up." "You have no idea what I went through because of you." "You don't know what I went through." "Because you wanted to." "You would show up with all those gifts, saying all sorts of things, and then you'd leave me there like an idiot, asking, "What time is she coming back?"" "You don't know half of it." "Ask your father one day." "For fuck's sake, Val." "Ten years!" "Why didn't you come back?" "You have no idea how I felt." "The longer I stayed, the more I wanted to go back, but time passed and I hadn't gone back, and then I wouldn't go back..." "Let me tell you: one day..." "God forbid, God forbid, but one day you will understand your mother very well." "Who is this boy?" "Jéssica, I am asking you who this boy is." "Jéssica, why won't your father speak to you?" "I don't understand why your father won't speak to you." "Jéssica, I'm asking you." "Who is this boy, Jéssica?" "It's Jorge." "I don't know who Jorge is." "He's my son." "God, Jéssica..." "Jéssica, I can't believe it." "And why didn't you tell me, Jéssica?" "We weren't even speaking, Val." "How was I supposed to tell you?" "And you left the boy there?" "Did you leave the boy there?" "I did, Val." "How was I supposed to study?" "Was I supposed to bring him?" "Oh my God." "And aren't you going to bring him?" "Yes, I am." "When I can, I will." "So cute." "When?" "When I can, Val." "Thanks, Val." "It's alright." "God, to send a boy like this alone to the back of beyond..." "My little boy, my treasure." "Love of mine." "My boy." "Let's go, son?" "We're late." "OK?" "Bye, Val." "Bye bye." "Kisses." "Don't eat junk food." "Take care." "OK, my love?" "Love you." "Oh my." "But Val, why?" "Are you upset with me?" "No, I'm am resigning." "I'm quitting." "But why so sudden?" "Was it something I did?" "Are you upset with me?" "No, ma'am." "No, Dona Bárbara." "It's not you, it's me." "Have people been talking?" "Has the driver been telling you things?" "No at all, it wasn't Vandré." "It wasn't, ma'am." "This is..." "This is my thing." "I would know." "That's it, Dona Bárbara." "Do you want a raise?" "It's not about money, ma'am." "We can get you a raise." "No, Dona Bárbara, it isn't about money." "No, ma'am, it's not money." "It's that..." "I think I am..." "I need to stay with my daughter." "To take care of my daughter, to be with my daughter." "Yeah." "You're right." "Right?" "Oh, Val." "Alright." "Alright." "People stay there until 9:30," "I get late, and then, you guessed it," "I have to go through Vila Romana, go down to Brás, up to the city center, then to Moema, and I still need to buy the kids Christmas presents." "It's not easy." "But we need to have hope, Vítor." "What do you intend to do next year?" "If I could choose, you know how it's so hot, sometimes it rains too much and I have to close the truck's window, and I would like to ask a favor here..." "Here." "One more." "Put this one there..." "No, that's OK." "Thanks, Vandré." "Your're welcome." "Thank you." "If you need me, just call." "Bye, you two." "Wish you the best." "Bye." "What are you doing here on a Thursday?" "Goodbye." "I resigned." "You're kidding, Val." "No." "I'm serious." "Really?" "I can't believe it myself." "Oh man..." "Put some water to boil." "We're having some coffee." "Let's do it." "What now?" "Do you know what you're going to do?" "I don't know." "I'll figure it out." "I'll take a massage course..." "Doesn't Fabinho say I'm the best masseuse in the world?" "Who knows?" "It's a good idea." "Look how beautiful." "I like it." "Modern, isn't it?" "Looks like it." "It's all different, look." "Black on white, white on black." "It's different, like you." "Beautiful." "Modern." "Yeah." "Look at the thermos, how beautiful." "So beautiful, so beautiful." "Classy." "What?" "I stole it from Dona Bárbara." "You're kidding, Val!" "You swear?" "Jéssica, now that..." "I spend more time at home, that we're home," "I was thinking." "Go get Jorge." "Bring my grandson." "I'll pay for the tickets." "Plane tickets!" "Go get your son." "Go." "Aren't you in a hurry?" "Already getting ahead of yourself, huh, Val?" "Will you look after him, mom?" "The Second Mother."
