"Since the death of Ignasi, my life had become a real roller coaster." "He's singing... he's singing!" "Being in a coma, it isn't good at all that he sings." "Could he die?" "We'll do an emergency operation today, if you give us permission." "The thrill of singing, went at one stroke, to the distress of a life or death operation." "And when it seemed that everything had gone well, another setback." "Something isn't right." "I can no longer hear him." "I no longer hear what Roc says." "Roc's fine, okay?" "You ought to believe me." "Why do you say that?" "Because I can't tell lies." "The insistence of a friend and the willingness of a doctor to believe, had just saved my life." "Although Toni believed that the one who had saved me had been Álex." "Thank you for taking care of him, guardian angel." "Would you like me to help you find your room?" "There's one thing that I don't want you to forget." "Fear can hold you back, but can also be a driving force." "How did you know that this was my room?" "The truth is that Alex... was acting like a guardian angel, and sometimes Toni also." "Would you donate a kidney?" "Well, of course." "I have three, right?" "No, you have two." "Well, one's more than enough for me." "And this way I can stay longer with my grandpa in the hospital." "Although Toni would be able to stay... the separation of the Bracelets seemed inevitable." "It's amazing!" "It's the 4th consecutive week you've gained weight." "Tomorrow morning you'll be discharged." "I think leaving this hospital is the best thing that could happen." "Because of Lleó?" "What about Lleó?" "What do you mean, Tony?" "That you're in love with Lleó." "You don't love me." "Of course I love you." "But I don't feel the same thing for you." "I'm sorry." "Benito!" "Benito!" "Do you think if we'd known each other outside the hospital, you and I would be friends?" "Man... surely I'd have picked you up in some nightclub." "I'm sure I'd have sent you packing." "Don't you think, eh, that I'm rather tall." "And with hair much more attractive." "I think that outside the hospital..." "I'd be making out with girls to spare, all day long." "Yeah, sure, I'd have sent you packing." "No..." "I think we'd be sure to be friends." "Some things are meant to be, wherever they should happen." "Ah, so you believe in destiny..." "No, I believe what I feel." "I feel there's events in life, that things weren't meant to happen any other way." "As, for example, the Bracelets." "I think we were meant to be together." "Don't you believe that there are people who are destined not to be together?" "I think that I don't think so much as you." "Listen, why did you bring me here?" "To get wet?" "I've been discharged." "I'm going home this afternoon." "Does Jordi know?" "Yes." "Aren't you going to say anything else?" "What do you want me say?" "That we'll miss you?" "That without you the Bracelets won't be the Bracelets?" "I don't know, maybe that you're happy for me." "Well, I am happy for you." "There are days in the hospital in which everything changes." "When everything turns out different to how it was before." "Like a before and after." "The day began, and although we didn't know... from that day on, we'd never be the same." "Hello." "Aren't you having breakfast here?" "No, I can't, I don't have time." "I have to keep Benito company, who's in the ICU." "What time did you get up?" "Very early." "I couldn't sleep all night, and in the end," "I went for a walk." "I didn't tell you yesterday because of everything that happened, but Cris is going today, she's been discharged." "Yeah, I know." "She told me a while ago." "Okay, I'm going." "So don't you mind that she's leaving?" "No, it's normal." "Here, when people recover, they leave." "I have to go, man." "Yesterday she broke up with me." "I guess she told you that too." "I didn't know that." "No?" "No." "Well, relax, Jordi. she's done it so you don't suffer now she's leaving." "Once patients leave, they don't come back to see people in hospital." "She's done it to make things easier for you because she loves you." "She doesn't love me!" "She's in love with you!" "That's why we broke up." "Look, I don't have time for your bullshit." "My Benito is in the ICU." "Just because Cristina's gone and you're depressed, it's not my fault." "Do not blame me for your shit!" "My shit?" "Yes, your shit." "You bastard!" "Yeah, a bastard, whatever you say." "But I'm a bastard in a hurry." "Goodbye." "Hello!" "Enjoy your meal..." "Thanks." "It's pretty bad and doesn't have much taste." "Do you want some?" "No, no thanks." "I've had breakfast." "Guys..." "I have the compatibility test results for the kidney transplant." "Already?" "That was quick!" "So what is it?" "Well..." "If it takes so long to answer, it can't be good." "No, Toni, no, it's not good." "I'm sorry, but I must tell you that you're not compatible." "Are you sure?" "The tests are conclusive." "Does that mean I'll be discharged?" "Yes, Toni, probably this afternoon." "This afternoon?" "I'm sorry, Toni, but..." "your injuries have healed, and it makes no sense to keep you in hospital any longer." "But if they discharge me, I'll go to a foster home, not to my grandpa." "I know, Toni, I know." "But the truth is..." "we no longer know what to do." "And me?" "Will I stay in hospital?" "For now, yes." "I'm sorry I wasn't able to give you good news." "Hello." "I'll leave you alone." "Cris, we'll have to go soon, eh?" "I was afraid that you weren't coming to say goodbye." "Did you come with those clothes?" "Yes." "It's weird." "Very weird." "Now what's wrong?" "You're going home, you should be happy." "I am happy." "But I'm also scared." "Why?" "For everything that comes now." "I'll be at home, yes, but alone, without all of you." "It's more difficult to carry on alone." "You're not alone, you have your family." "Yes, of course, but athough they love me they don't understand me like you." "Being part of the Bracelets... not only made me feel I wasn't alone." "You made me no longer feel like a person with an illness." "Besides, you're all staying here and I feel like I'm abandoning you." "You're not abandoning us, you're moving your life forward." "I think..." "I'll get home and..." "I'll relapse." "No, you can't do that." "I don't know if I can, Jordi." "The doctor says I'm ready, but I don't think I am." "What if I was to leave too?" "How do you mean?" "They offered to discharge me so I can return to Andorra." "If I also leave, if the bracelets were split up... then you wouldn't have a group to return to." "But I don't want you to leave because of me." "No, it wouldn't be for you." "It's time I also faced up to real life." "To go back on the street as someone without a leg won't be easy either." "Here I'm one more." "Outside we'll have to be brave." "Benito..." "You know that..." "I never usually discuss these things." "You also know how hard it is for me... but this time I really need it." "And I know this isn't the best moment, but..." "I need it." "I want..." "What are you doing?" "Nothing, nothing." "How is he?" "The same." "So do they know what happened to him?" "They said it's probably not Alzheimer's." "It could be something pressing on his brain." "They'll operate on him this afternoon, if he's stable." "At least it's good that he doesn't have Alzheimer's." "I suppose so." "Well, I'll see you later." "Hey..." "can you stay?" "Sure." "What is it?" "Did you know..." "Chris and Jordi have broken up?" "Well you don't seem at all surprised." "Because I'm not surprised, really." "Oh no?" "Man, they made a terrible couple..." "to tell he truth." "Why?" "I don't know, because of how they are." "Some people make a good couple and some people don't, right?" "Yeah, but sometimes things aren't as they seem." "Sometimes." "But I'm one of those who think that things are usually what they seem." "And I always get it right." "Was she the one who left?" "Yes." "I thought so." "On the other hand, you and Cris certainly make a good couple." "Shut up, man." "Hey!" "Come on... don't deny it." "Shut up, you." "It shows that you fancy her." "But they've discharged her, man." "I'm Sorry, and how are you taking it?" "Fine, fine." "Yeah..." "Get off my back, man." "Cris is going and that's it." "There's no getting around it." "When is she going?" "Today." "But she hasn't gone yet, right?" "No." "You have to talk to her." "Lleó..." "You have to talk to her." "Hello?" "Hello." "Are you the famous Roc?" "Yes" "And you're the famous Mr. Benito." "I don't know if I'm as famous as you, but yes, that's me." "And is this the world famous pool which Toni talks so much about?" "Yes, it is." "It's..." "like my home." "Well, your home is very nice." "Ignasi was here too, right?" "Yes..." "Does that mean I'm not okay?" "I think they're examining you now." "You've lost consciousness, and I suppose they'll examine you to see why it happened." "Ah, well I hope they take a while to find a remedy." "It's nice here." "Really?" "Aren't you nervous?" "No, it doesn't look an unpleaseant place to spend a few hours." "No, it's very nice, this limbo." "Limbo?" "I like it." "And Lleó, do you know if he's ok?" "What do you mean?" "He must be worried about me." "Oh yeah." "No, no, he's okay." "I'd like to send him a message." "We can try through Toni." "Oh, great." "Aren't you talking to your friend today?" "No." "He already knows I'm here." "He knows you're here too." "Oh, really?" "Yes, he's with Mr. Benito." "Roc wants to tell Lleó that Mr. Benito is okay." "You're an angel, right?" "Back to that again?" "I'm not an angel, I've already told you." "I think that you are." "I think you're Roc's guardian angel." "And I want to ask you a favour." "I'm not a guardian angel." "Yeah... so can I ask you a favour?" "Really, I'm a girl." "You have wings." "I don't have wings, it's an abnormality." "I've grown white hairs on my back since I was five." "It's called nevus." "Even you don't believe that." "Look..." "They look like wings." "Yeah." "I know they look like it, but they're not." "I can't fly with them." "Yeah, but if you were an angel you wouldn't say so either, right?" "I guess not." "What would you ask me if I was an angel?" "That you'd help me." "With what?" "Me and Bru." "With what?" "Bru needs a kidney, and I need to stay in hospital." "And maybe the other guardian angels don't want to be with us... maybe they don't want to come to the hospital." "I'd like to be an angel and help you." "And I'd like you to be one..." "If you are, hurry up, because I leave this afternoon." "And they discharge me in an hour." "Really?" "Yes" "I enjoyed meeting you." "You're a very special boy." "I also really enjoyed meeting you." "You're also very special." "Goodbye, Roc." "Hello." "Hello." "How's Mr. Benito?" "They're operating on him." "They came for him in the ICU half an hour ago." "Yeah." "You know what?" "I know nothing about you, I only know you're an orderly." "How do you mean?" "I mean we've been meeting for ages and I don't know you." "Are you married?" "Yes." "Yes." "And do you have children?" "Seven." "Seven children?" "Damn!" "Yeah kid, you can say that again." "And have you ever been ill?" "No, never." "Have you ever been unwell?" "Some flu, from time to time, but little else." "Lucky you!" "Does that mean you've never been in hospital?" "I'm always in hospital." "Yeah, yeah, but I mean admitted." "No, not really." "Well, I've been in the hospital seven times." "What luck!" "Yes, I'm happy that my family is healthy." "But... the real good fortune has been to work here, and meet people like you." "You're very brave, Lleó." "I'm not brave." "Not for certain things." "Lleó... you're overcoming cancer, and you live each day as if it was the last... enjoying and fighting for the things you care about." "I've never known anybody who fights so much for himself, for a few fireworks, to win race, for his friends, for everything." "Not for everything." "There are times that I feel small here." "As if afraid of loving someone, in case sometime I must leave... in order not to hurt them." "Deciding to love..." "is difficult for everyone." "But if it's a question of courage," "I'm sure you'll do what you have to do." "You're... you're unique, and very strong, Lleó." "And you won't stop being it." "You can't, you're a lion." "You have to take risks." "You're right, Mercer!" "What the hell?" "I'm Lleó, dammit, and I have to try." "Lleó, can we talk?" "No, I'm in a hurry and it's not the best time." "Hey, and I want to talk to you about all this about Cris, but I need you to let me go before I get over the "high"." "No, it's not about Cris." "It's more important." "I want to talk to you alone." "Does it have to be now, man?" "The fact is..." "You can tell me about it later." "No!" "Wait a minute." "I want to talk to you." "In the room." "Calm down, eh?" "Cris!" "Hold on a moment, I want to talk to you." "Come on, let's go." "We'll straighten things out, man." "Okay, Jordi, I don't know what you want to tell me, but first of all, you and I are friends, and that'll never change, and no girl will change that, least of all Cris, dammit!" "All 3 of us are bracelets, and we should..." "Let me speak!" "Speak, speak." "I'm leaving." "Where you going?" "To another room?" "No..." "I'm going home." "I've been discharged." "Now, right now?" "No, things don't work that way." "They can't discharge you from one day to the next, christ!" "I was given the option when Ignasi died, and decided to stay." "For Cris, for you, and for the Bracelets..." "Because I thought that it was best for everyone, and here everything would be easier." "I know what you'll say." "That..." "I'm leaving because I'm depressed and because Cristina's leaving, but it's not only that." "I can't stay here, Lleó, they know I'm well enough to leave." "I need to go, I need to see what's happening in the real world, what's happening outside." "I need to go home." "I have to be brave, even though I feel very comfortable here." "Are you angry?" "No." "You don't mind, do you, if I take your bed before the new guy arrives?" "Can you remove your things, please?" "Yes..." "I'll be much better here." "Ultimately, when you spend so much time in the same room, you end up by getting bored." "Lleó, what are you doing?" "I'm taking the good bed." "Did you know that Jordi's also clearing off?" "Yes." "Oh yeah?" "Well, being the effing leader, I'm always the last to hear, christ!" "Well, the transfer is already half way." "An advantage of having so little stuff." "Toni, let's go and see Benito." "Those of us who remain here still have important things to do." "Come, let's go." "I'm going too." "Or rather, they won't allow me to stay." "I'm sorry." "Then, I wish you all the best, eh." "We'll meet again some time." "Until next time." "What did you want to say to me?" "Nothing." "Lleó..." "Lleó..." "Well, Alex, it's time to go home." "Where are your parents?" "They are waiting for me in the car." "Oh, really?" "I don't think I've seen them a single day here." "Surely you must have noticed." "They've been with me every day." "Yeah, maybe." "There's a lot of work these days... and besides, there are many people going home today." "It'll be non-stop going up and down, up and down." "Alex!" "What?" "You're being discharged already." "Looking forward to going home?" "Very much." "I'm not surprised." "Good..." "Toni's also being discharged today, isn't he?" "Yes... but he won't be going home exactly." "They say they're doing a study on Asperger syndrome, at the San Juan de Dios hospital." "Didn't you hear about it a few days ago?" "Yes, a study by Dr. Berruezo." "I was told it in the elevator." "Toni could enter the study, couldn't he?" "But how do you know about that?" "I heard it." "I was also in the elevator." "Were you there...?" "Yes, they were taking me to the treatment room." "Huh." "Well, ready to go then?" "Can I say goodbye to Roc first?" "Certainly." "Alone." "I have to go, Roc." "I would have liked to know you a bit better." "Is that the plaform you jumped from which left you in a coma?" "Yes." "And have you jumped again in these two years?" "No." "Why?" "Because I'm afraid." "Do you know what the first thing psychologists recommend... after having had a car accident?" "What?" "To start driving again." "As soon as possible." "But I'm in a coma, I can't do anything now." "Maybe you can." "What if the way out of the coma was the same way you got in?" "Do you mean... that if I jump off again, I'll wake up?" "We won't know unless you try." "It's hard, Mr. Benito." "I think it's time to find out what would happen if you jumped again." "I always thought that there are two possible outcomes." "Which are?" "Either wake up or..." "Or what?" "Or I'll die." "What do you think?" "I think life is about taking risks." "Will he be there much longer?" "I don't know." "I have every confidence in Benito." "He's so stubborn!" "He's certainly stubborn, yeah." "Very, he's very stubborn." "I hear Roc very loudly, as if he was very close." "He says he's coming back." "Yes, he's asking for us." "I'm hearing him right now." "We have to go to his room." "We must be with him." "I have to wait for Benito." "Roc was with Mr. Benito." "Roc told me to tell you that Mr. Benito's fine." "Don't worry, Lleó." "Go, I'll let you know if there's anything new." "Roc's coming back." "Really?" "What should we do?" "We must think about him now." "Let him know that when he comes, he'll have friends waiting for him here." "Hey, hey, but what are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "(Perhaps, I can't explain.)" "(It's difficult to admit, that nothing has changed me.)" "(I can't forget a single second, every feeling, every place.)" "(I can't forget, that you never told me.)" "(I can't forget your smell, every step I make has no turning back.)" "(I can't forget, I can't forget.)" "Welcome, Mr. Benedict." "I'm glad you're back with us." "I'll be five minutes." "I don't know, I don't know where to look for him." "Perhaps he doesn't want to say goodbye to us and is hiding." "He's the one who knows the hospital best." "We'll never find him, we won't see him again." "Don't say that, Toni." "Lleó will come, I'm sure." "He won't come, he's stubborn as a mule." "And as a lion." "Should we wait for him any longer?" "He won't come." "Lleó hates goodbyes." "This... is the last time the Bracelets will be together." "I'll never take it off." "Even if I go to another hospital." "Until I die." "Me neither." "I am and always will be a Bracelet." "Forever." "Toni!" "Hello." "Sorry guys, but..." "Toni, in about half an hour, has to be in the San Juan de Dios hospital... otherwise they won't be able to do this bizarre study on him, you already know." "Relax, Grandpa, I'm unique." "They'll wait for me to do the study." "Sure, sure." "You'll have to get going, guys." "They're waiting for you." "Can I go with them to the door?" "I don't see why not." "But in a chair, and only five minutes, okay?" "Take this one, I no longer need it." "And I'd like very much that you were the one to keep it." "Thanks." "I'll take good care of it, Toni." "Thank you." "See if you can move." "Very good." "(I'm falling, little by little I go away.)" "(The physics captivates me, and gravity leads me to your feet.)" "(I'm falling, and while doing it,)" "(I untie the knots that governed this fragile balance of mine.)" "(Nothing lasts very long.)" "(I drift away, I belong nowhere, in this intangible world.)" "(I'll never, return to live, ever.)" "(dragged back by lies, by routine, the sad deception,)" "(I'm falling endlessly,)" "(the whole world crashes down into the windows of my days.)" "(I'm falling, I sink into the water,)" "Listen, we could form a group and do your party." "How do you mean?" "There's an guy who does rehab with me, who told me that the people of a group are divided into:" "the leader, the handsome one, the smart one, the essential, the 2nd leader who'd be leader if there wasn't a leader, and the girl." "(You come, you go, life falls apart,)" "(invisible in the sea of years,)" "(I perform without a net,)" "(I leap and always fall...)" "(Nothing lasts very long...) (I drift away, I belong nowhere in this intangible world,)" "(the impulse of a moment, leads to my leap,)" "(across the empty spaces,)" "(you come, you go, life falls apart,)" "(invisible in the sea of years...) (the impulse of a moment, leads to my leap,)" "(across the empty spaces,)" "(life falls apart,)" "(you come, you go,)" "(invisible in the sea of years...)" "Benito!" "What, you missed me, Lleó?" "Very much so." "I missed you too." "How was the concert?" "What concert?" "The song, "Without You"." "No, we didn't sing in the end." "It wasn't the same "without you"." "Okay..." "When I recover, I'd like you to play it for me." "I didn't hear all of it." "Yes, that would be nice." "The thing is that now we'll have to find new people... because only 2 bracelets remain." "What do you mean?" "Where's the rest?" "No, it's nothing..." "Jordi, Cris and Toni have all been discharged." "When?" "Just today, they should be about to leave right now." "What are you doing here?" "I've come to see you." "But shouldn't you see them off?" "No, I don't like goodbyes." "Now I must think of those of us remaining here." "And I've seen two guys, and one could be the handsome and the other the smart one." "They're on our floor." "And there's another guy who has lung cancer," "He could be the 2nd leader, who'd be leader if there wasn't a leader, eh?" "And later I'll go to the girls floor, and there's sure to be one who'll serve." "I think 2 Germans girls have arrived, I'm sure that one will work out." "What do you think?" "Lleó..." "No, you'll see everything will be back to normal soon." "Just give me 2 days to get all the Bracelets back together again." "Lleó, go and say goodbye." "Go on." "(What a crazy world, that makes no sense,)" "(and makes me think, I don't know why I'm here.)" "(What a crazy world, that I can never understand.)" "(You can now fight with certainty, that one day it hits you...) (with such force you're left alone...)" "Do you know what I played with my mom, when they gave me chemo?" "What?" "Where would I like to be?" "And how do you play that?" "One tries to imagine where you'd like to be instead of here." "(What a crazy world, which has neither rhyme nor reason,)" "What a cheat!" "(or lets us have what we had yesterday.)" "(What a crazy world, that doesn't want...) (to finally wipe from the map those things that we despise,)" "(and they make us feel mean.)" "(In the distance is the secret,)" "(silent, hidden, patient and discreet.)" "Bracelets for ever!" "Yeah!" "(Magically...) (we go down like water...)" "Have you done it?" "What about you?" "Have you?" "Have you?" "(we re-make the road anew,)" "(Constructing a custom destination.)" "One, two, three..." "Bracelets!" "(Against the current, facing the wind,)" "(through rough seas and waves, you steer your ship,)" "What are you doing?" "(because you've nothing to lose, nothing to lose at all,)" "(nothing to lose.)" "(Crazy, the world is crazy, but it's ours,)" "(and it's the best one we've got.)" "I haven't gone to be sick, but to see what you wanted." "(What a crazy world, that has it's ups and downs,)" "(and it's too late when I see how much worse I am.)" "(What a crazy world,)" "(where we can believe in more than one god,)" "(and that opens the wings of vanity,)" "(we can be unjust and wicked.)" "(But the worst is never knowing...) (who pulls the strings in your mind.)" "(Magically...) (we go down like water...) (and, by every obstacle...) (we re-make the road anew,)" "(constructing a custom destination.)" "(Against the current, facing the wind,)" "(through rough seas and waves,)" "(you steer your ship, because you've nothing to lose,)" "(nothing to lose at all, nothing to lose.)" "(Crazy, the world is crazy, but it's ours...) (and it's the best one we've got.)" "Maybe next time." "Yes, next time." "(Against the current, facing the wind,)" "(through rough seas and waves, you steer your ship,)" "(because you've nothing to lose,)" "(nothing to lose at all, nothing to lose.)" "(Crazy, the world is crazy, but it's ours...) (and it's the best one we've got.)" "Goodbye." "We've been left alone." "Yes." "I have the feeling... that the Bracelets will be back together some day." "Hey... you're not doing too bad in that chair, eh?" "Yeah, but they say it'll still take me a while to recover." "But anything other than being in bed is great." "Finally the essential Bracelet strolling through the hallways." "Yeah..." "I was longing to do it." "Listen, I want to talk to you about that." "What?" "It's just that..." "I can't see myself as the essential one." "What do you mean?" "Yeah, but... you've given me the label of essential one and I don't like it." "Well... be the smart one until Toni comes back, you are smart." "I'm not sure, I think..." "I understand." "Co-leader, right?" "Mhm... the leader." "Yes, I think I'll be the leader." "But I'm the leader." "Yeah, but it could be me, because... now I'm here, we can reconsider it, can't we?" "Dammit Roc!" "I tell you I'm the leader..."
