"Rose, oh, Rose you're so wonderful" "Like the whitest goddess, like the prettiest flower" "Your love has sentenced me to the sweet sorrow of suffering" "Rose, oh, Rose I want from your mouth" "That raging madness that my love is causing" "It brings me to tears to love you like this" "Only you" "Rose, oh, Rose ask for anything" "But don't ever ask for my love to die" "If someone must die, I will die and for you" "Rose, oh, Rose ask for anything" "But don't ever ask for my love to die" "If someone must die, I will die and for you" "Rose, give to me all your dreams" "Owner of your love I want to be" "Give to me all your wounds from the past" "Darling, next to me I'll have you" "Rose, oh, Rose always full of pride" "But without my presence your faith falls to pieces" "Meanwhile I, I'm here dying for you" "Rose, oh, Rose ask for anything" "But don't ever ask for my love to die" "If someone must die, I will die and for you" "Oh, Rose..." "Oh, Rose..." "Rose, give to me all your dreams" "Owner of your love I want to be" "Give to me all your wounds from the past" "Darling, next to me I'll have you" "Oh, Rose, oh, Rose always full of pride" "But without my presence your faith falls to pieces" "Meanwhile I, I'm here dying for you" "Rose, oh, Rose ask for anything" "But don't ever ask for my love to die" "If someone must die, I will die and for you" "I will die and for you" "I will die and for you" "Rose, Oh, Rose..." "LIFE GOES ON" "Ok, yes..." "I see." "What?" "You know what, I'll call you back later." "Hey Chopin!" "Stop it with the polonaise." "You already know the boss hates classical music." "There's no way I can use the phone with all that noise." "If Chopin is noise for you, then what do you call what I play here?" "Look, we'd starve with Chopin and Beethoven only." "Keep playing what the boss likes and I'll keep discovering stars." " Discovering stars..." " What?" "Didn't I discover you?" "Artists agency?" "Hugo?" "It's me, Ricardo." "Yeah, that's what I wanted to know." "Thursday 20?" "Perfect." "And don't forget about The Mice." "The Mice who?" "That long-haired guys band I showed you." "See if you can find them a gig at a night club." "Ok, bye." "This Hugo never loses his sense of humor." "He says he'll find The Mice a job at a cheese factory." "Cheer up!" "You're singing at a rich woman's house the 20." "Perhaps an important businessman will hear you and..." "Please, come on in Lolita." "Come on." " Good afternoon." " Good afternoon." "Roberto, our pianist." "Mr. Marin, artist manager." "In case you need my services, here is my business card." "Thank you, but I'm just a beginner." "She came recommended by a TV channel director." "Play that song." "When you're done, come see me at my office, Lolita." " Can I have this?" " Sure." " So?" " Sorry, I always mess the intro." " Let's start over" " Don't get nervous." "Pretend you're singing alone..." "like when you shower." "I have a whole world of sensations" "A whole world of vibrations" "And I can give them..." "Let's try with a lower key." "I have a whole world of sensations" "A whole world of vibrations" " So your name is Lolita, right?" " That's right." "But Mr. Mauricio wants me to change it." "He says it doesn't sound good." "What doesn't sound good here is what you're singing." "Pardon my honesty, but you'll never be a singer." "Don't waste your time." "Give it a shot as an actress, perhaps model." "But Mr. Mauricio said I was going to be a star!" "Mr. Mauricio can't tell a do from a re." "Fine." "Let's see what Mr. Mauricio has to say." "Lolita, wait..." "Do you know what Mauricio is going to say?" "I don't give a damn about what he thinks or says." "What a stubborn man!" "Playing the polonaise again!" " Listen, Roberto..." " Stop that music from hell!" "So I can't tell a do from a re?" "I'm only controlling myself because you must be mentally ill." "You're fired!" "Go play at some madhouse." "And take your stupid songs along with you!" "Wait a moment!" "You'd better take those words back." "Otherwise..." "Otherwise what?" " Because of me you got fired too." " I wasn't fired, I resigned." "So I can't tell a do from a re?" "I thought he'd die of a heart attack." "Look, with the bad comes the good." "If only he had published your songs." "Publish?" "He kept them inside drawers for a year." "He'll regret it." "Someday those songs will be famous." "You've always lived on dreams." "On dreams and reality, my mouth is making water." "Look." "Let's buy some oysters, a lobster and a bottle of champagne." "Are you nuts?" "We're unemployed and you come up with such a menu?" "We have to tighten our belts." "It's to celebrate our new found freedom." "Let's go home, I'll make dinner but cheaper, tastier and faster." "Letter from Córdoba, it must be your parents'." "My mom." "I already know what it probably says." "We're here, looking forward to seeing you again." "Take care." "And if you need a few bucks, you can always ask me." "It wouldn't hurt." "The house is a mess, everything's dirty, all turned upside down." "The janitor didn't come to clean today either." "So what does your mother say?" "The same as usual." ""Your father still with lumbago and the usual monomania..."" ""...regretting you gave up your piano lessons."" " Always the same crap." " Get over it." "It's hopeless." "I'll make dinner." "What do you think?" "To begin with, corned beef, National Industry." "Then sardines in oil tomato sauce mussels "au natural"." "And for dessert... fruit salad." "A can opener..." "and dinner's ready." "Oh, we're out of bread." "I'll get it." "Sorry, sorry." "Elisa." "Elisa!" "I'm coming." "Elisa..." "Elisa." "Like your Elisa." " Hey!" "Where's the bread?" " Oh!" "The bread..." "I'm sorry." "I just bumped into an angel." "Her name is Elisa, you know." "Like Beethoven's." "Always daydreaming." "It'll be crackers tonight." "Come on." "Dinner's getting cold." "Who is it?" "It must be the janitor, next door's apartment is empty." "Don't pay attention to it." "Let me handle it." "Yong man, do you think this is a night club?" "I've just moved in and I have to put up with neighbors like you." "Stop banging that piano or I'll call the doorman." "Maybe even police!" " I'm sorry, Mrs." " Miss!" "It was or new neighbor." "She threatened to call police if you continue playing the piano." "She must be a bitter bachelorette." "If she is a bachelorette, I'll take her on with romantic music." "Music calms the beasts." "I guess not this one." "Now I am the one protesting!" "Listen, I..." "I was playing the piano, I wanted to apologize." "Oh, don't worry." "The one banging was my aunt." "She's a bit of a maniac, you know." " Elisa, whom are you with?" " I'm coming, aunt." " Goodnight." " Goodnight." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." "What did you say to that witch?" "Witch?" "She was an angel." "An angel?" "Are you short-sighted or just out of your mind?" "Yes, I have to confess she drove me crazy." "It's Elisa, Ricardo, Elisa." "Elisa, the witch?" "I definitely don't understand artists." " You're playing the piano again?" " I'll play with the damper on." "I feel like composing tonight." "I'm going to sleep." "See you tomorrow." "To Elisa..." "I can give you my best smile" "To Elisa..." "I can build a world of tenderness" "To live this love with Elisa by my side" "To Elisa..." "I desire she and the breeze become one" "To Elisa..." "God has placed inside this chest a heart" "It will beat until I die next to my Elisa" "To Elisa..." "I give this dream of your story I'll be the owner" "To Elisa, she's my life" "To Elisa, I give this love" "To Elisa, she's my life" "To Elisa, I give this love" "To Elisa..." "I give this dream of your story I'll be the owner" "To Elisa, she's my life" "To Elisa, I give this love" "To Elisa, she's my life" "To Elisa, I give this love" "Rose, oh Rose the prettiest rose..." "Good morning, sleepy head." "Did you spend the night on the couch?" "I composed until late at night." "Then I laid down." "I don't know if I composed or dreamed up a beautiful song." " The janitor told me everything." " What?" "About our neighbors." "Elisa is the witch's niece." "I just saw her." "You were right, she is an angel." "The janitor also told me she works in a boutique in Duffau Gallery." " It's her, right?" " Yes." "Elisa..." "Her partner is a cutie, too." "When they get out, we'll pretend we were passing by." "You introduce me to Elisa, and she'll introduce me to the cutie." " But they're gonna know." " So what." "You leave it in my hands." "Look, here they come." "Oh!" "Excuse me." "I always end up apologizing to you." "What a coincidence, do you work here?" "Yes." "Elisa, this is Ricardo, a friend of mine." " You are the new neighbor, right?" " Right." "Nice to meet you." "Marta, my partner." "What a coincidence to run into you like this." "Yes, what a coincidence." " Are you going home?" " Yes." " Me too, let me go with you." " Ok." " Do you live near Elisa's?" " No, I live far from here." " I live in Castelar." " No way, what a coincidence." "This must be fate, I'm going to Castelar as well." "I'll go with you." "I'll address you by your name, it's more casual that way." "Shall we?" "Roberto, I'll go with Marta to Castelar." "Bye." " See you tomorrow, Marta." " Bye." "Shall we?" " Hello, is Elisa here?" " No, she just left with Marta." "Thanks." "Did you see?" "I stopped playing the piano." "Don't pay attention to my aunt." "She complains, but she loves it." "She even turns the TV off when you sing." "Maybe it sounds ridiculous, Ricardo is right." " Do you like my songs?" " A lot." "Specially when you play classical music." "The other day you were playing To Elisa." "I was thinking of you." "You must have studied a lot to play like that." "Yes, but not enough to fulfill my father's dreams." "I came to Buenos Aires to study in the conservatory." "I studied piano, harmony, composition." "And when I was preparing for my first concert, I gave up." "What a pity." "Why did you quit?" "I thought I wouldn't make it." "To be a soloist, you have to practice 8, 10 hours a day." "A whole life, I guess." "You must also have talent, and be lucky." "But, enough talking about me." "What about you?" "Me?" "My story is so ordinary." "I live with my aunt." "She's grumpy but she's really good." "I finished high school and I work at a boutique." "Just like another million girls." "But you're different." " Different?" " Yes." "You have grace." " No on told you that?" " I've been told so many things but I don't believe them." "I believe in fate." "It was meant for us to meet." "Marta are you dumb?" "You haven't said a word." "How do you expect me to speak if you don't shut up." "You're a talking machine." "Have you always been so trampling?" "Trampling?" "I'm a man of my times." "We live in the space era, Marta." "Everything must be done quickly." "Well, then I must be from another age." "Before I do something I think it over deeply." "It seems a storm is about to break." "It started raining." "Here, cover up with this." "What about you?" "I love getting wet." "A careful man is worth a lot." "It's like we are all alone at a hut in the woods." "Yes, I know the story I'm Little Red Riding Hood, and you're the ferocious wolf." "You're soaked up and it's all my fault." " I bet you'll get a cold." " No, I never get sick." " Come on in, come on in." " Thank you." "Come on in Mrs..." "Ms." "How is our dying man doing?" "You needn't have worried." "I have nothing." "I asked for your help because..." "I think he's boiling in fever." "So you're the Beethoven who won't let us sleep, right?" "I don't need a thermometer." "He's running with a fever big enough for a horse." "Aunt..." "No need to call the doctor." "All he needs is boiling milk, aspirin, cognac and some rest." "He'll sweat a few liters and he's done." "Done?" "You mean he..." "It means he's cured." "There's a small problem." "I need to go out." "I'm presenting The Mice on TV today." " The Mice?" " It's a hippie music band." "Ok, you go with your mice, and I'll take care of this sick cat." "Thank you very much Mrs..." "Miss." " Goodbye, Roberto." " Goodbye." "We'll use this opportunity to tidy up this house from hell." "I told you, you would get a cold." "I'm glad I did." "Thanks to that you're here." "Darling, get the vacuum cleaner, twenty pounds of detergent and a dustpan." "There's enough dirt here to fill up River Plate's basin." "I'm in the wrong apartment." "No, Mr. You're not wrong." "It's just that everything I clean ends up better than new." "I even cleaned Beethoven bust's teeth." " What about your patient?" " Come see him." "Here's your Federic Chopin, with no more fever." "There's no beating homemade medicine." "Thank you so much for it all." "Roberto, the cleaning..." "Instead of thanking me, give up the noise at night." "Well, it's time for us to go." "Darling..." "Let me walk you to the door Mrs..." " I mean, Miss..." " Darling..." " See you tomorrow." " Goodbye and thank you, Elisa." "It was a wonderful cold." "I hope to get sick again soon." "Elisa..." " Bye." " Bye." "Darling!" "Let's go." "Goodbye." "That cold thing was just an excuse to have Elisa as your nurse?" "Obviously." "I already have a great plan for the four of us to go out." "I'm going with Elisa." "You can have the aunt, she's single." "I'd rather die." "I'll go with my Marta." "She plays hard to get but I'll tame her down." "Give me, from yesterday the crazy desire" "Give me, the sweet scent from your mouth" "Give me, the crystal of your smile" "Give me a little more" "Give me, your world of illusions" "Give me, from your nights the passions" "Give me from your hair all the colors" "Give me a little more" "I cannot understand, I need you more than life itself" "You've managed to take the place of all the old things in me" "Making me live like this with your madness in a crazy ride" "That I'm trying to stop but I jjust can't seem to succeed" "Because all balance is now lost" "Because I love you so much" "Give me, the whirlwind of your years" "Give me, from your love the things I miss" "Give me, not thinking about tomorrow" "Give me more from you" "Damn!" "I'm in the wrong apartment again." " What is this?" " Surprise." "Our neighbors are coming for dinner." "But Roberto, you're singing at the reception today." "Today?" "I told you a thousand times!" "Thursday 20." " I forgot." "What time?" " Eleven, but it's two hours away." "There's plenty of time, it's half past seven." " We have dinner and then..." " Have you asked them?" "No, I'll call her now." "What if they have an appointment?" "Come on." "They never leave the house." "What are you doing?" "We agreed that when I needed to talk to her I would play To Elisa." "Look... it seems your system failed." "I'm going to her house." "If her aunt gets mad, so be it." " Didn't you hear the piano?" " Yes." "But I wasn't able to speak." "I wanted to invite you two over for dinner." "I'm sorry, Roberto." "We have an appointment." " Well, it'll be some other day." " Believe me, I'm sorry." "It's ok." "Don't worry." " Bye." " Bye." " So?" " They have an appointment." "I saw it coming." "I ran into the "appointment" in the elevator." "The "appointment"?" "Yes, some book worm with a bunch of roses." "I lost my appetite." "I hate eating alone." "It's not so bad." "Get ready right now and off we are to the ball." "Do you know what these receptions are like?" "Lobster, caviar, French champagne..." "Just as I told you." "Those with money can do whatever they want." "You never change, do you?" " Ana." " Hi Guillermo." "Congratulations." "Your country house inauguration will be commented a lot." "Yes, the press will say I've gathered the cream of the crop." "I'd say the yoghurt of the crop, it's quite a sour cream to me." "Guillermo, always so ironic." "What about that band?" "What are they threatening us with?" "They're here accompanying a singer." "I'm assuming he's one of your new discoveries." "Don't be so terrible, it's the first time I've seen him." "I don't believe you." "I am that man, so easy to forget" "So easy to leave behind lost in the distance" "I am the one giving up my pain" "For I know your love, is walking away mercilessly" "I am not a man of virtue" "Neither does youth appreciate my existence" "I understand and justify your behavior" "Trying to ornament your current adolescence" "I'm not a prototype lover" "Neither do I awake any passions in your heart" "But I die when I see that you... are always trying to walk away" "But leave, when you want to as soon as possible" "Don't think that when you go away I'll die" "I'm dead since that very day" "When you stopped smiling being by my side" "I'm dead since that very day" "When you stopped smiling being by my side" "But leave, when you want to as soon as possible" "Don't think that when you go away I'll die" "I'm dead since that very day" "When you stopped smiling being by my side" "I'm dead since that very day" "When you stopped smiling being by my side" "Nice song." "I liked it." ""Easy to forget" I might have written it myself." "What do you mean?" "It seems inspired on me." "I'm easy to forget, aren't I?" "I always remember you." "Yes, but not the way I'd like you to." "Please Guillermo, we had agreed not to talk about it." "You were awesome." "I don't know." "This is such a cold audience." "Do you expect them to cheer you like in a tavern?" "They are the "elite"." "That blonde sure is an "elite" one." " He is one of a kind." " Unbelievable." "Do you play classical music?" "Yes." "Do you remember Study in Fa Minor by Chopin?" "I'm sorry but, are you examining me?" "No, I wouldn't have the authority for it." "I would have liked to be a soloist, but I had no talent." "That's why I like to help those who do have it." "A man who plays Chopin like you do..." "Why do you lose your time singing insignificant music?" "It's a long story..." "I don't want to bore you." "Yes... this isn't the right moment." "But I want to hear that story." "Come to my Buenos Aires house tomorrow at four." "What do you think?" "Should I go?" "Of course you should." "That woman can help you a lot." "But what do I say to Elisa?" "Why should you explain anything to her?" "Well, because..." " You and Elisa, is it serious?" " What do you mean?" "Do you like her?" "Do you have feelings for her?" " Of course." " And what about her?" "Then clear all doubts." "Talk to her tomorrow." " Aren't you mad about last night?" " Why?" "Because we didn't go for dinner." "No, you already had an appointment." "Elisa, can you come out for a while?" "I need to talk to you." " Is it very important?" " No, but if you can..." "Ok, wait." "Marta." "Marta." "Hi Roberto." "What is it?" "I'm going out with Roberto." "If Teresita comes, tell her I'll be right back." " Don't worry." " Shall we?" " Bye." " Bye." "Do you like working at the boutique?" "Yes, it's a great environment." "Marta is a great partner." "Besides, I always work with enthusiasm, with joy." "Yes." "That must be very important." "I've always been in doubt." " I've never worked with joy." " Perhaps you're too ambitious." "I'm happy with little." " I would be happy if..." " lf what?" "No, nothing." "Oh, no, don't leave me hanging like that." " What were you going to say?" " Nothing, It was silly." "It's already half past four." " Were you going anywhere?" " Yes, I had an appointment." "It's ok." "Let's have something to drink at the rooftop." "Let's go." " Hello Ana." " It's you Guillermo." " Were you expecting someone else?" " No." "And this empty cup?" "There's always an empty cup for potential guests." "Since the potential guest didn't show up..." "I'll use the cup." "It must be cold." "I like it cold." "Ana... there's something great about you you can't lie." "Excuse me, Guillermo." "I'll lay for a while." "I have a terrible headache." "If a potential guest arrives, shall I call you?" "No, I'm not here, if someone asks." "Roberto, I have to go back." "The boutique is closing." "Wait, it's only five minutes." "Elisa, I wanted to talk to you about something." "You've been trying to tell me that for over an hour." "But you don't." "Yesterday, when I invited you over for dinner, there was a man." " Yes." " Is he special to you?" "That man wants to marry me." " What about you?" " I told him it's not gonna happen." "Why is that?" "Because I love someone else." " Who is that someone else?" " You know it very well." "Elisa..." "Ricardo!" "She loves me Ricardo!" "She loves me!" "She does!" "She loves me as much as I love her, Ricardo." "See?" "She loves me." "What's wrong?" " What's that?" "A telegram?" " Yes." "Wait, it's about your father, you know." "Give it to me!" "Poor old man of mine..." "Poor old man of mine..." "Son..." "I wanted to be strong, not to cry, but..." "Cry Mom, cry." "Let it all out." "Roberto, were did you go?" "To the river." "Where we used to go fishing with Dad." "That's the last thing your father composed." ""Life goes on"." "Nice melody." " Aunt, where is Mom?" " She is cooking." "What day is it?" "Tuesday 10." "You've been here for a week." "A week..." "It must have been eternity, you're so used to the big city." "Don't say that." "I came to be with her." "But I want to go back someday, and I'd like to take her with me." "She won't move to Buenos Aires." "Her house and memories are here." "Everything is so sad in here." "Not for her." "She wouldn't be able to live without all of this." "I'll go set the table." " Is Mrs. Emilia here?" " Yes." "Do you want me to call her?" " I have these flowers for her." " I see." "I find your face familiar." "Your father sent you a photograph with me sitting by the piano." " So you are Carlitos." " Yes." "Everytime I came I used to bring Mrs. Emilia some flowers." "Who was that, Roberto?" "Carlitos, you didn't forget about the flowers." "Thank you very much." "My father wants me to go to Buenos Aires." "To the conservatory." "Is that so?" "Very good." "Goodbye Mrs. Emilia." "I just came to give you these flowers." "Goodbye dear." "And thanks for the flowers." "I know... he reminds you of me, when I went to Buenos Aires." "Yes." "Your father loved Carlitos dearly." "He said he was talented like you." "I hope he won't let his family down, like I did." "Don't say that." "You're young." "You can still do wonderful things." "You know how much I appreciate your company." "But there's nothing for you in this small town." " We'll discuss that later, Mom." " It's up to you." ""I've only been here for a fortnight, Elisa and it feels like years since I last saw you." "I wanted to talk my mom into coming with me but it's hopeless." "She even advised me to come back." "This time I'll do my best so I don't fail." "To make my own path in life." "Next Thursday I'll be by your side."" "I think it might be a great opportunity." "It's the place to go, and on Mondays they present new artists." "If they like you, I'm sure we can get a great deal." " What do you think?" " I don't know, Ricardo." "I'd like to find something serious, something reliable." "But I'm a little confused." "You lose nothing by trying." "So?" "Don't you hear me?" "Ok, I'll go." "Out!" "All sadness out!" "By the coldness of this table I'll get drunk" "Out!" "To the pain inside my soul" "It makes me lose my temper and it just won't let me think" "That's why I drink" "That's why I drink" "The coldness of august is carved on my face" "Of never-ending sorrow of the harsh adversity" "Searching through many glasses that mouth of yours" "It intoxicated my senses for I know you just won't come" "Out!" "To the pain inside my soul" "It makes me lose my temper and it just won't let me think" "Out!" "All sadness out!" "By the coldness of this table I'll get drunk" "That's why I drink" "That's why I drink" "Everything is over everybody is now gone" "Friends that I have lost, my life and my love" "My faith, my youth and my confidence" "My hope has died everything is dead" "Out!" "All sadness out!" "By the coldness of this table I'll get drunk" "Out!" "All of this bad dream out!" "I'm the owner of my own life, in alcohol I'll make it drown." "Out!" "All of this bad dream out!" "I'm the owner of my own life, in alcohol I'll make it drown." "That young man, isn't he the one who sang at your reception?" "Yes." "What a coincidence to find him here." " Did you know he was performing?" " No." " Are you sure?" " Why would I lie to you?" "Then It's fate." " I don't understand." " Maybe you don't want to." "Isn't he the potential guest you were waiting for?" "Guillermo, you used to play Polo." "Is spying your new sport?" " Please give me a call." " Thank you." "Goodnight." "What did he say?" "Well, they're now full." "But probably next month." "The usual." "Next month..." "Don't be so pessimistic." "At least they heard and applauded you." "What good is that for me?" "How can you say that?" "It's important businessmen hear you." " Hello." "Good evening." " Hello." "How are you doing?" "It seems you do remember me after all." "Why do you say that?" "You must have a terrible memory." "You were supposed to come to my house but... it seems you forgot." "No, I didn't." "I just had some problems." "Tomorrow, have you got any appointments?" " No." " Ok." "Come to my house at six." " Don't leave me waiting this time." " I won't madam." "See you tomorrow." "Goodnight." "Professor, please come here." "My apologies, Roberto." "This is Mr. Milstein, great piano teacher." "I wanted to know his opinion, but I thought his presence would limit you." "That's why I asked him to hide." "Tell us, Professor." "Well, there's good raw material and fine skills." "Would you teach him?" "As long as he abides by the rules you already know." "I don't want him to waste his time, or mine." "Ok Professor." "I'll phone you to let you know the decision." " Goodnight." " Goodnight." "What is expected from this guinea pig?" "What rules are those?" "You are expected to become an excellent pianist." "And the rules are to focus exclusively on the piano." "Practice, sacrifice..." "I've already tried it, but it was no good." "You'll try again." "But I'm going to need money, time, peace." "That will be taken care of." "Money..." "I'll get you a grant so you don't feel uncomfortable." "Time... you'll have as much as you need." "Peace... you will live and study at my country house." "And all of that, in exchange for what?" "Something important, to feel I've contributed to your triumph." "And what if I fail?" "Then it'll have been just a bad investment of time, and hope." "But I have faith in you." "Ana..." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I thought you were alone." "Come on in Guillermo." "I believe you know each other." "Guillermo, Roberto." "Pleased to meet you." "I'll get going, madam." "Just call me Ana." "Madam sounds awful." "Think it over and let me know." " Goodnight." " Goodnight." "Well... it seems like he is a rising star." "Guillermo, I'm not in the mood for your sarcasm." "He's a talented young man and I'm willing to help him." "Is there anything wrong?" "I don't know what to do..." "Roberto, don't you want to be a pianist?" " Yes." " Then why do you hesitate?" "Because if I take the grant I'll have to abide by a few conditions." "And who is preventing you from doing that?" "I don't know... you, perhaps." " Me?" " Yes." "I'd have to study far away." "Why does it have to be so far?" "The woman who got the grant for me wants me to be isolated." "We'd only see each other from time to time." "But you'll have some days off, then you can come see me." "Yes, of course." " Lf it's the best for you..." " For us." "...then it's worth the effort." "Can you imagine?" "Colon theatre's billboards with your concert?" "No, no." "Roberto!" "Roberto, what's wrong with you?" "I'm sorry, I was daydreaming of a concert at the Colon's." "You still have a long way to go to get there." "Hours, days, months of practice." "Faster and deeper." "Deeper." "More." "More." "LIFE GOES ON" " This day was the longest ever." " Are you going home." "Where else do you want me to go?" "And you?" "Ricardo is picking me up." " How are things with him?" " So-so." "Tell me, what do you think of Ricardo?" "I don't know... he's cheerful." "He's funny." " Yes, all players are funny." " There he is." "Hi girls." " Any news from Roberto?" " Yes, he called me last night." "He says he is studying hard and he'll try to come soon" "I'm going to see him the day after tomorrow." "Somebody wants to record his songs." "I want to surprise him." "Do you miss him?" "You figure." "He's been studying for three months." "That was nice, what is it?" " Do you like it?" " Yes." " Really?" " Why are you so surprised?" "Well... you only care for classical music." "I never thought you could be interested in such a simple song." "That is unfair." "I have a heart besides a brain." "Please..." "I want to hear that song." " Weren't you about to leave?" " I have time." "Ok." "Perhaps, when I open the door," "Dead hopes will be reborn in me" "Perhaps I'll be your owner again" "Manufacturing dreams, how did I go this far?" "Perhaps, you'll have changed" "Perhaps your look will always remain the same" "Perhaps, with those ways of yours" "You destroy for once my final dream" "Perhaps, it'll be a smile" "Like a gentle breeze, reaching me" "Perhaps, a surprised look, perhaps puzzled, will appear on your face" "Perhaps, I'll regret all of this again" "You will hurt me because of the way you behave" "Perhaps, it's best for me to leave" "Before I surrender before you again" "Perhaps, you'll have changed" "Perhaps your look will always remain the same" "Perhaps, with those ways of yours" "You destroy for once my final dream" "Perhaps, it'll be a smile" "Like a gentle breeze, reaching me" "Perhaps, a surprsed look, perhaps puzzled, will appear on your face" "Perhaps, I'll regret all of this again" "You will hurt me because of the way you behave" "Perhaps, it's best for me to leave" "Before I surrender before you... before you... again" "Perhaps, I'll regret all of this again" "You will hurt me because of the way you behave" "Perhaps, it's best for me to leave" "Before I surrender before you..." "Before you... again" "It's truly beautiful." "What's its name?" ""Opening the door"." "It's the story of a man afraid of falling in love again." "You must never be afraid of falling in love." "To Elisa... do you know its story?" "They say she was Beethoven's first love." "They loved each other." "But Beethoven's passion for music made them grow apart." " Hands up!" " Ricardo!" " How are you doing?" " Great." "I have excellent news." " Remember Gutiérrez, the editor?" " Yes." "He liked your songs and he's going to publish them." "This is the contract for the first one, "Easy to Forget"." "Really?" "That's great." "Let's hope the run of good luck will last." " Ricardo, did you see Elisa?" " Yes." "She's always waiting for your phone calls." "Days are really long for her sometimes." "Poor Elisa, she is so patient." " What about Marta?" " Don't even mention her name." " She rebelled." " What?" "To the ladies tamer?" "I became the tamed tamer." "I surrendered unconditionally." "But, didn't you use to say women are nothing but headaches?" "Yes, and I still do." "I'll just have to buy aspirins." " What about Ana?" " Mrs. Lamarti?" "She comes often." "That must be her car." "I'll get in." "If she sees me here she'll think I haven't played at all." " Long time no see, Ricardo." " How are you, madam." "Call me Ana, don't make me older than I already am." "He's playing very well." "Though I find him tired, even sad sometimes." "You're the right person to cheer him up." "Why don't you come more often?" "There's plenty of rooms." "It's just that this is really far from it all." "Besides, I'm always short of time." " Are you still an artist manager?" " Yes." "When Roberto succeeds, and he will you could be his manager." "What do you think?" "I'd love to." "Managing a great artist means travelling around the globe dealing with huge amounts of money." "Think about it." "Instead of longhaired hippies and tango singers, a pianist." "New York, Paris." "Just what I've always dreamed of." "That's not very enthusiastic." "Why did you stop?" "It was coming out really epic." "Schulman said that Chopin polonaises were like cannons hidden among flowers." "Ok, rest for a while." "Come here." "I have a surprise for you." "A businessman friend of mine will come to listen to you." "If he likes it, you'll give a concert at a small audience." " He will come next Sunday." " On Sunday?" "Ana, we had agreed Sunday was my day off." "I offer you the chance for your first concert and you protest?" "I was planning to go to Buenos Aires." "You can go some other day." "We made an agreement." "You promised to study, to make an effort." "I just can't take it anymore." "Everyone complains, everyone criticizes..." "The professor, Ricardo, you..." "I can't take it anymore, Ana!" "Roberto, I'm leaving." "If you want to I'll drive you to Buenos Aires." "No, I'll stay." "You win." "Roberto, don't treat me like that." "Forgive me." "I guess you're right." "We all want you to succeed, so we push too hard." "What you need is to let go of the piano for a while." "Let's go for a walk." " But... weren't you leaving?" " I can go later." "Are you going to spurn my invitation?" "Ok, let's go." "But Roberto, you promised to come on Sunday." "Yes, I understand." "But it has been so..." "Well, all right." "Bye." " Isn't he coming on Sunday?" " No, he can't." "I told Ricardo, this smells fishy to me." "It smells even worse to me." "I don't mean to be nosey but while he spends months playing, Miguel's waiting for you." "And Miguel is a serious boy." "A man with a future." " Aunt, please, stop." " I'm saying it for your own good." "I have an idea." "Ricardo is with Roberto, let's go visit them on Sunday." "Fine, I'll tell him next time he phones." "No, let's take them by surprise." "But we don't know where the house is." "I've already taken care of that." " Who is it?" " Guess." "Elisa... my love." "Marta... my tamer." "I wanted to surprise you." "Was it wrong?" "It's a wonderful surprise." "Today is officially announced a national day off." "I don't even want to see that piano." "Roberto, remember the businessman is coming today." "He's coming tonight, we have the whole day for ourselves." " But..." " No." "Get the car out of the garage, and let's go for a ride." "As you wish." "Shall we, Marta?" "This day will be entirely dedicated to my Elisa." "You are so beautiful today." "Are you crying?" "Don't pay attention to it." "They're happiness tears." "It's been so long since..." "Sounding, guitars on the wind that I want my breath to go away while I sing" "Sounding, guitars on the wind that I want my breath to go away while I sing" "I want my soul to let go of it all vibrating when I dance" "I want to lose my bitterness, live my crazyness, dance on and on" "I want to burn in my fire the pain" "And let go of that pain love has caused me" "I want to feel like I'm alive again" "I want to dance until I die" "Sounding, guitars on the wind that I want my breath to go away while I sing" "Sounding, guitars on the wind that I want my breath to go away while I sing" "I want to be on the air and to fall apart with every chord" "I want palms clapping, my body vibrating, dancing on and on" "I want to burn in my fire the pain" "And let go of that pain love has caused me" "I want to feel like I'm alive again" "I want to dance until I die" "Sounding, guitars on the wind that I want my breath to go away while I sing" "Sounding, guitars on the wind that I want my breath to go away while I sing" "I want my soul to let go of it all vibrating when I dance" "I want to lose my bitterness, live my crazyness, dance on and on" "You, the woman" "Me, the pleasure" "You, the virtue" "Me, the anxiety" "The both of us to love, nothing more" "And afterwards, the passion coming, more and more" "The night is going away, with no mercy for our love" "Hold on to me, give me your love to make my agony easier" "Come, I want the illusion, of dying next to you" "Kissing you, my love" "But, actually, there is only one truth, life goes on" "Come, stay, next to me, speechless" "Come, love me, with no fear without thinking" "Come kiss me, time is ticking away" "And after our goodbye, nothing more" "The night is going away, with no mercy for our love" "Hold on to me, give me your love to make my agony easier" "Come, I want the illusion, of dying next to you" "Kissing you my love" "But, actually, there is only one truth, life goes on" "Come, I want the illusion, of dying next to you" "Kissing you my love" "But, actually, there is only one truth, life goes on" "It seems you went out to celebrate spring but it's still winter." "The man who came to hear you waited for two hours." "But you said he would come at night." "There's no need for you to defend him." "We came earlier." "But his responsibility was to be here." "At least, be polite and introduce me to your guests." "Marta, Elisa..." "Mrs. Ana Lamarti." "We are leaving." "We are having dinner at six." " Let's go Elisa." " I'll go with you." "Goodbye Ana." " Elisa, wait." " Let go of me." " Elisa..." " Let go!" "Roberto, think before you act." "Don't get carried away." "Roberto!" "Come here, Roberto." "Have a seat." "Roberto..." "I don't know what that girl means to you." "But the most important thing in your life is at risk." "You've worked so hard for it for years and it is now so close." "Are you going to let your father down again?" "Me?" "Yourself?" "I don't know, Ana." "I don't know what to do." "The most important thing is your career." "You'll have your concert, and you'll succeed." "You're wrong Elisa." "You're being unfair." "You wouldn't believe the things I have to hear!" "So now it is Elisa who is unfair?" "Please, aunt, stay out of this." "Yes, it'll be better that way." "I'll go." "For if I said all I think about him and about you..." " Elisa, I think..." " Ricardo, don't insist." "Ok." "Roberto asked me to give you these tickets for his concert." "He thinks I would go to his concert after all?" "It's useless." "She's not coming." "It seems obvious, she has some pride after all." "Pride?" "I called her about a hundred times." "I went to see her but she wouldn't let me in." "I've completely forgotten about pride." "If she loved me, she would forgive me." "You're wrong if you think she doesn't." "I don't even know what I think or what I say anymore." "I'd like to lay and sleep for days, weeks." "Stop talking nonsense." "All you have to think of now is your concert." "Rest a little." "I'm going to check the theatre." "Hello, Ricardo, how is our soloist doing?" "He's a little concerned." "Try to cheer him up." "Hi, Roberto." "I came to wish you luck." "I'm going to need it." "Everything will go great, you'll see." "When the concert is over, we'll celebrate the success." "Ok." "I wish you luck." "Lots of luck." "ELISA" "HAVE LUCK!" "WITH LO VE, ANA" "Go on, Roberto." "Well... it's all over." "Roberto it was just an accident." " It's my fault." " No." " You were exhausted." "I forced you." " No." "Don't blame yourself." "Tomorrow we will return to the countryside." "No, Ana!" "I won't go back to your house." "Roberto, this isn't a good time to make decisions." " Perhaps when you calm down..." " Can't you see it's all over?" "The practice, the concert, everything." "Everything!" " Roberto..." " This was wrong all along." " But Roberto, the concert." " I'm over it." "Roberto, dear." "I'm sorry." "I just wanted the best for you." "At first I just wanted to help you but then I realized I was in love with you." "This was more than a crush I've never loved someone this way." "Don't say it... you're making this harder." "It's over." "Over and for good." "No, Roberto, listen to me." "Please love me." "Please Elisa..." "I'm so sorry, Ana." "Ana, what's wrong?" "Ana?" "Where are you going?" "Ana!" "I didn't see her!" "It's as if she threw herself under the car." "Don't touch her." "Don't touch her!" "Call an ambulance." "How is she?" "Thank God, it isn't serious." "She is only sore." "Can I see her?" "The doctor ordered her not to be disturbed." "Just a minute... please." "Come in." "Roberto." "I'm sorry, Ana." "Can you forgive me?" "No, Roberto." "You're the one who must forgive me." "Ana, was it just an accident or?" "It was an accident." "Don't worry, Roberto." "Life goes on." "Isn't that one of your songs?" ""Life goes on"." "Well, Ana, you better get some rest." "I'll write to you." " Are you leaving Buenos Aires." " Yes." "To Córdoba, To my parents house." "It's better like that." "We all tried to force your way." "We were all wrong." "It's up to you now." " Goodbye, Ana." " Goodbye, Roberto." "The train will leave with you on it." "No, it is in a couple of minutes." "Don't be so lazy and write to me, Ricardo." "As long as you write back." " Have this." " What is that?" "Staffed paper, so you write songs and send them to me." "Well... now I'm going." " Thanks, Ricardo." " What for?" "Your friendship." "The tense situation and emotion take over my heart" "In this instant" "I'd like to define this moment" "And before I leave, ask you, don't you love me?" "If it doesn't hurt you me to walk away" "I can, in my doubt, foresee you can forget all from the past" "And, in a second, destroy... all I left for you to take care of" "Don't you love me" "If it doesn't hurt you me to walk away" "The anxiety there is in me" "Will die, because of you" "I hear the old words..." ""I love you, and only you"" "I cannot leave if when I come back" "I won't find you in my arms" "I'd rather you told me "It's over now"" "Than to have to cry for my failure" "Don't you love me" "If it doesn't hurt you me to walk away from you" "The anxiety there is in me" "Will die, because of you" "I hear the old words..." ""I love you, and only you"" "Say those old words..." ""I love you, and only you"" "Son, it worries me to see you like that, so sad." "It will pass, mom." "I brought you coffee." "Roberto, why are you here?" " I've already told you." " No, you haven't." "When I ask you, you always change the subject." "Mom, I'm here." "Who needs a reason?" "Let's leave those sad memories behind." "Roberto, you're my son." "I could advise you, help you." "Sometimes I think we were wrong to send you to Buenos Aires." "As a child, you used to tell me everything." " You've grown up into a stranger." " Don't say that, mom." "Then why don't you tell your mother?" "It's very complicated." "I met a girl and we fell in love." "Then she thought I was cheating on her... and she refuses to see me." "And... did you cheat on her?" "No, but evidence was against me." "Did you try to tell her the truth?" "Yes, but it's useless." " Is that why you came?" " That is one of the reasons." "Roberto, do you still love her?" "Yes." ""Elisa, first of all, I beg you don't tear this letter apart without reading." "Your happiness and my son's might depend on it." "I'm Roberto's mother, I don't know you yet." "But to know that my son loves you is enough for me to know you're worth it." "I know just how it feels to lose the one you love." "It's like being emptied." "Like nothing in life has meaning." "My son has told me it all." "He never cheated on you, Elisa." "I can't find the words to convince you." "I hope you believe me, Roberto loves you." "On your decision depends a whole life of happiness for the two of you."" "To Elisa..." "I give this dream of your story I'll be the owner" "To Elisa, she's my life" "To Elisa, I give this love" "To Elisa, she's my life" "To Elisa, I give this love"
