"Lately, we Bracelets were living through moments of great intensity." "Ignasi had left us forever." "And we knew perfectly well, that there would be a before and after the death of the Bracelets handsome one." "Losing someone so close had struck us with such force, that while we were saying goodbye to Ignasi with a song, my body had decided to say its own after two years of silence." "Servile and washed up, crazy about you." "Roc!" "Please, help!" "One of the saddest moments of my life, had just turned, at one stroke, into one of the happiest." "Because this hospital is full of contradictions." "I need a leg." "Oh!" "And I, two." "There are enemies, who act like best friends." "People who love each other, but they want to separate them." "I'm afraid they'll take custody away from me." "And others who don't love each other enough, but even so, they're together." "I fancied you from the first day that Lleó told me, he had a perfect girl to be a Red Bracelet." "Jordi's a nice guy and takes care of me." "But you don't fancy him." "Lleó is arrogant and egocentric, and is a leader..." "And he thinks himself very clever, but he's no more than a frightened child." "I really like him..." "I like him so much that it scares me." "And if something happened now with Lleó that hurt me..." "I'd go to pieces." "(Paths that are now disappearing.)" "(Paths that we have to take alone.)" "(Paths among the stars.)" "Can't you sleep?" "No, I can't." "That business with Roc singing has blown me away." "Yeah, me too." "They say that tomorrow morning they'll do a CT scan on him." "I hope he wakes up soon." "Hey, tomorrow we could all go with him to the CT scan, to give him our support." "If I'm honest, I don't believe he'll even realize we're there." "Yeah, but I think that from now on the Bracelets should stick together, when there's an operation or important test." "Jordi, we didn't know what Ignasi had." "Yeah, but..." "I'm just saying that it would be nice to do that." "It sounds good." "The other day I was thinking about our pact, about all the things that Ignasi will no longer be able to do, and that we should do for him, I think it will be really cool." "Yeah, but we don't know the things he would have liked to do." "Do you think that he got to have girlfriend?" "I don't know, we never talked about it." "Do you think he got to do it?" "I don't know." "Have you done it?" "What about you?" "Have you?" "Have you?" "Shall we go to sleep?" "Let's sleep." "Good night, Lleó." "Good night, Jordi." "You've never done it, have you?" "You've never done it." "You've never done it either." "The Ignasi's death had brought us closer together, and we all felt that we were part of something bigger, a quite difficult thing to explain if you weren't in hospital." "(Paths among the stars.)" "(Paths leading in new directions.)" "I felt different since the day that I'd sung." "I felt like a little star," "As if suddenly I was someone different from the boy in a coma everyone knew." "I noticed how the doctors looked at me in a way that was new to me." "I had the whole world's attention, and I was completely happy." "I wished with all my heart, to be out of that coma after so long." "I wanted to be normal." "Normal in a hospital." "You must leave, please." "Can't I stay with him?" "It's just that Roc doesn't like the dark." "He'll see from the glass inside." "I don't want to leave him alone, doctor, please." "You'll have to remove anything metal." "I don't have anything." "And you have to put this on, because of the radiation." "Thank you, Doctor." "It's better that you hold his foot." "It seems strange, but your hand can make Roc move a bit and that can make the scan look blurred." "Oh... oh, okay." "Dr. Andrade... it's a good sign that he was singing, wasn't it?" "Any change, in his condition, is good." "So why does it seem like everyone's so worried?" "We want to know how it's possible to change so suddenly." "Normally everything is an evolution, but in the case of Roc, it seems that..." "It seems what?" "It seems hard to believe what the other children told us." "Don't they believe he was singing?" "We have no evidence that it's true... but the CT can be used to determine if there's any neuronal change." "I do believe he sang." "I also hope that's the case." "Why would the children make it up?" "Thank you." "Sing again, Roc." "Go on, do it for me." "I wanted to sing again, sing so that my mother could hear me." "Sing a song to her... like when she sang lullabies to me... when I was little." "Those two." "Definitely." "From the day Jordi decided not to go to Andorra they're more..." "Definitely." "You fancy her, right, Cris?" "What?" "No, no, no, of course not." "I think she likes you too." "Nonsense!" "It looks like it to me." "No way, I don't fancy her." "And I think she still likes you." "I'd say she looks at you when she gives kisses to Jordi." "No way, man!" "Look." "What did I say?" "It was a coincidence." "What are you doing, guys?" "We've only just begun." "Don't you want to go to your room and we'll let you know when we finish?" "We want to keep him company." "He knows we're here." "What are you doing?" "They're performing some quite complicated tests on him." "We have to examine the entire body." "But why?" "If he's sung it means he'll re-open his eyes in no time at all, right?" "Sometimes, such a fact doesn't mean what it seems." "I have to go." "Return to the ward." "I promise I'll notify you when he leaves, okay?" "What aren't you telling us?" "Nothing..." "Really, nothing." "There's nothing to worry about." "I don't know about you, eh." "I think they're misleading us or they don't want to tell us anything." "Yes, since Ignasi's death they like to play it safe." "Besides, it's clear that when he comes out they won't explain anything to us." "I know a neurologist." "You know a... what?" "Yes, one day I was taking a contrast for a CT scan, and I met a man who was a neurologist." "May he'd help us." "And why should he help us?" "Because he's not a doctor now, he's a patient." "He may already have been discharged." "No, no, he has spots that will take time to be clear up." "So, Let's find him." "I like it, Toni." "Toni!" "Hello, guys." "Hello!" "Could I see you for a moment, please?" "Now?" "Yes." "What, you're too busy?" "We were going to find a neurologist." "It seems important, kid, but... upstairs there's a person from the court who... who wants to speak to you." "It seems important as well." "Yes" "Go and find the neurologist." "Let me know." "Goodbye." "Bye." "It looks really bad." "Yes" "When someone from the Court comes to the hospital it's bad news." "Perhaps someone should go with him?" "You go, we'll look for the neurologist." "Goodbye." "Bye." "How do we do it?" "I remember seeing him the day they did the CT on me, he was having a scan at the same time, so all we need to do is to look on the computer, and see which patients had a CT scan that day." "Do you mind?" "I don't quite understand..." "Could you explain yourself better..." "If you can take the boy so I can speak to Toni." "Come on, Bru, shall we go out for a while?" "Are you okay, Bru?" "Shall we go out in the sun?" "It's not a good idea, he's a vampire." "If you put him in the sun, he'll die." "Come on, let's go." "In the sun?" "Yes, you'll like it." "Hey, I already know, you're not a vampire, eh." "Hey, do you want something?" "How do you mean?" "What are you doing here, apart from spying on what they say to Toni." "I wasn't spying." "No, of course not... because you haven't had time." "Ah, listen..." "can you take Bru in the sun?" "In the sun?" "Mhm." "You know that he's...?" "Yes, I know." "Can you take him or not?" "Let's go, Bru." "Come on, Bye." "Have you ever gone out in the sun?" "it's not that great, but it's okay." "Can we go in the shade?" "Who goes to the computer?" "I think I'll do it better." "Are you calling me stupid?" "No, I'm telling you I'm faster." "I'm also very fast, eh?" "She'll be back soon." "Won't you let me do it?" "Yeah, yeah, but if they see us..." "You keep watch." "Go!" "Will you be quiet?" "Go!" "Shut up!" "How's Roc?" "Lleó!" "They're still doing tests." "You've already asked me ten times." "Eh, do you want to dance?" "Go on, let me pass." "So?" "So?" "What?" "What do you mean, what?" "Dammit , girl, did you find him." "Yes, he's called Jordi Giné." "he's on the third floor, room 320." "You're a star." "What did you expect?" "Sorry." "Let's see if we can find him." "Okay." "Have you understood me, Toni?" "Have you understood everything I've explained to you?" "No..." "What did he mean, grandpa?" "He meant that..." "If you want I'll explain it again." "It won't make any difference." "I think you use too difficult words so that people won't understand anything, and I want to understand everything." "He meant that... that they think that I haven't taken good enough care of you." "But that's not true!" "I took the motorbike." "Yes, of course, but I have to ensure that you don't do dangerous things." "But I drive very well." "Yes, but you don't have a license, Toni." "It means that... they've taken custody from me." "What custody?" "Yours." "Look... when you leave the hospital you'll have to spend 2 months in a foster home, until you reach 18 and then you can choose who you want to live with." "So... who will I go with?" "We don't know." "We'll know in due time." "There's a procedure." "Toni, it'll only be 2 months... and they told me I can be with you three hours each day." "And while I'm in hospital, who'll have custody?" "While in the hospital you'll be with your grandfather." "As long as I don't leave the hospital we'll be together?" "That's what the judge said." "Custody is lost when you're healed..." "But your doctor has told me that in a few days the injuries will have healed and you'll be able to leave." "Don't worry, grandpa." "We'll find a solution, we'll find it." "See you, Toni." "Are you okay, Bru?" "Are you okay?" "Yes" "Maybe it's the sun." "In the end Toni will be right and it'll turn out that you are a vampire." "We should go, 15 minutes have passed." "I want to see how Toni is." "He'll be pretty upset." "They've taken custody away from his grandpa." "How do you know that?" "I was there when his grandpa was told." "Shit!" "So that's why you're so sad?" "No." "Want to tell me?" "They won't be doing my kidney transplant." "Wasn't it this week?" "In the end it turned out I'm not compatible with the donor." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Still nothing?" "No." "I don't see any change in neuronal activity... with respect to previous scans they've done on him." "Shit..." "His mother really had her hopes raised." "Maybe the kids made it all up." "Or maybe the children did something we haven't done." "What do you mean?" "According to what they told us, they began to sing and he joined in with them." "Play music in the room, to see if any change takes place in his brain." "So what music shall I play?" "What music does Roc like?" "I don't know, I guess..." "the same as all the kids listen to." "Is everything all right?" "Yes, yes..." "Shall I play any modern music?" "Yes." "Christmas carols." "Come again?" "He really likes Christmas carols." "He was playing them even though it was Summer." "Really?" "Yes, when he was a small, I sang carols to get him to sleep." "You want to play music to see if he sings again, right?" "More or less." "We're not looking for him to sing." "What we want is to stimulate neural activity." "Relax, everything's ok." "Carols?" "Yes, why not?" "Christmas carols." "My grandpa used to say... that the world was a little better each time a carol was played." "That's why my mother sang to me as a child." "She used to say they were the ideal songs to bring out... the good feelings of people." "He's singing..." "He's singing!" "It's amazing." "Do you think the neurologist will want to help us." "Yeah, sure." "He's a very nice guy." "How's it going with Jordi?" "What do you mean by that?" "Nothing, I just wondered how you were getting along." "How come?" "I didn't think you were interested in us." "What do you mean?" "You and he are friends of mine." "Yeah, but you..." "I don't know, I wasn't expecting the question." "We're fine." "I'm glad." "Was it to do with the kiss?" "With what?" "With the kiss we accidentally gave each other." "Oh no, of course not." "Anyway, I'd already forgotten it." "It wasn't a real kiss, it was only a peck." "Hi guys!" "Let me introduce Alex to you." "She's sharing Roc's room." "With Roc?" "The girls wing is full." "So there's more girls than boys, right?" "Sure..." "How strange." "Welcome." "What do you have?" "I've been burned." "There was a fire in the kitchen of her house and she was burned a bit." "Now we'll give her a few grafts..." "and she'll be fine." "Come on, goodbye." "Bye." "Ah." "What's wrong?" "Oh, I don't know..." "You mean it's no big deal?" "Yes, it itches a lot." "Let's have a look." "I can't see anything." "Sure?" "Take a good look." "What was that?" "A real kiss." "Why?" "I don't know..." "So, if you don't know, why did you give it to me?" "Didn't you like it?" "It cannot be, Lleó." "I know." "Hello." "Hello." "Do I know you?" "Me, yes." "One day in the CT we chatted, I don't know if you remember." "Ah, yes, that's right." "Don't you remember?" "No, no." "In truth, no." "I thought so." "We want to know if you could help us." "With what?" "You're a neurologist, right?" "Yes." "It's just that we have a friend who has a problem, and we have the feeling that the doctors won't tell us what he has, and we thought that maybe you could help us." "Yeah, but I'm not your doctor." "These things don't work that way." "Besides, if I don't see the patient," "I can't make a diagnosis or tell you anything." "He's been in a coma for some time, and the other day he sang." "He opened his eyes and sang?" "He sang with his eyes closed, and remains in a coma." "Now they're doing a CT scan on him." "It's complicated..." "But I guess if he sang he'll wake up, right?" "It's very complicated." "No, I don't think so." "They don't want to tell us anything and all you do is repeat, "It's complicated"." "Why won't they tell us the truth?" "I'm sorry, I can't help more." "But I'm sure that the CT will clarify everything." "I thought you'd help us." "And I'd love to help you." "But you're patient like us." "Would you feel happy about us hiding information from you?" "Look, kid, the patient is your friend," "I'm sure his parents will explain to you what's wrong with him." "You guys are only his friends, right?" "No, not just friends." "We're from the same group." "And only recently we lost another person from the group." "It was a shock because no one had warned us of what he had." "We don't want it to happen again, we want to be prepared this time." "Can you understand?" "It's not good." "Isn't it good that he sings?" "How can I explain it to you?" "Being in a coma, it isn't good at all that he sings." "Most probably, there's some pressure of some sort in the brain, that has enabled his ability to sing, but..." "The excessive pressure can be..." "Can be what?" "It can become fatal." "If the scan confirms it, they'll have to operate on him to lower the intercranial pressure or, it could worsen and then the coma becomes irreversible." "I'm sorry." "Thank you." "Cris!" "See you later." "How are you?" "Fine." "Bru's already told me about your grandpa." "Yeah... they're idiots." "Yeah..." "Instead of talking to you and deciding what you want..." "They never asked us our opinion in anything." "I'm going to look for the others, to see if they've brought Roc out of CT." "Okay." "Are you unhappy because of my grandpa?" "No." "Is it because you were hit by direct sunlight when you're a vampire?" "No." "I didn't get the kidney." "I wasn't compatible with the boy who was going to donate it to me." "Ah..." "So, about the kidney... it involves a lot of time in hospital for the donor, right?" "Yes." "Between the surgery and recovery... a couple of months." "So what do you have to do to be compatible?" "Why?" "I might be?" "It depends on many things." "Would you donate a kidney?" "Well, of course." "I have three, right?" "No, you have two." "Oh..." "Well, one would be more than enough for me." "Really?" "Of course." "Come with me, please." "What is it?" "I'd like to have a talk with you." "Oh." "What happened?" "They've taken a long time." "We don't have good news." "But what do you mean?" "If he sang again..." "Yeah, but that's not good." "Your son has a lot of intracranial pressure." "We have to operate on him to avoid serious problems." "More serious than being in a coma?" "Could he die?" "We'll do an emergency operation today, if you give us permission." "And then will he wake up?" "We don't know." "What happened has nothing to do with your son's coma." "Then, that singing wasn't a sign of improvement?" "No, sorry." "What a shit!" "Yeah." "We'll need..." "I know it's a blow, but I need..." "Do you need permission right away?" "Yes, we don't want to lose a minute." "So, okay, I give you permission." "Where do I sign?" "I'll bring you the papers right now." "And does the operation last very long?" "Not long." "We'll keep you informed." "Everything will be fine, honey." "I couldn't feel any pain." "I felt the kiss from my mother." "I could feel the support of the other Bracelets." "I was aware of everything, and it felt very close." "I was also aware of and could sense fear, my own fear." "Are you okay?" "Yes, why?" "I dunno, it doesn't look like it." "Do you want something?" "Do you want me to win another poker game to buy a futuristic spare leg?" "No." "I just wanted to take a stroll somewhere that wasn't my room to relax a bit" "Well I was relaxed before you came along." "How's your friend?" "Who, Jordi?" "I don't know." "No?" "It's just that you're always together." "You only come to see me when you need a favor." "That's not true." "It is, and you know it." "Go on, what happened?" "Well..." "I gave a kiss to Cris, Jordi's girlfriend." "Aha, what else?" "Not a lot more." "She first gave me a kiss..." "it was a mistake... later on, I gave her another kiss... and now I don't know what to do... because, dammit, there's also Jordi, who's a friend of mine... and Cris, so..." "Christ, I dunno, man, I don't know." "What else?" "You're not helping me very much, eh?" "You don't explain yourself very well either, you know." "Do you fancy her?" "Who?" "Cris." "I don't know." "On top of that, Roc's brain is about to explode." "Who's Roc?" "A friend of mine who's in a coma." "So first you tell me about the kiss and after about the friend in a coma?" "A little strange, no?" "Strange?" "Man, I dunno, you seem more concerned about the kiss than about your friend." "Forget it, man, never mind..." "Let me go." "You're not just worried about the kiss, eh?" "Let me go, man." "I think you don't just like girls." "What?" "No, just something I heard." "Say it again." "What did you say?" "I think you also like guys." "Do you fancy me?" "Where the hell did you get such an absurd idea?" "Hey!" "It's okay." "Go to hell, man!" "Christ!" "How did it go with Lleó?" "What do you mean?" "Have you found the neurologist?" "Yes." "So?" "Has anything happened?" "No... they're operating on Roc." "Because of the intracranial pressure?" "Yes, how do you know?" "The neurologist explained it to us." "He said the excessive pressure can be fatal or cause an irreversible coma." "It could be that Roc never wakes up." "Come on, guys, don't worry." "Everything will be fine." "Are you telling us that to keep us quiet or because you really know it?" "Cris..." "What?" "It's only a question." "I know it, because he'll be operated on by medical specialists." "Yeah, yeah, I thought as much." "I'd better come back later." "What's up with you?" "Nothing, I'm tired of being misled." "It was Lleó who asked you to do that, right?" "Lleó didn't ask me to do anything." "It's also what I think." "Okay, don't be angry." "Has something happened to you?" "Nothing." "Hello... am I interrupting?" "No." "Roc's still in the operating room." "It would be nice if all us Bracelets were together, right?" "Yes, sounds good." "Good idea." "Where's Lleó?" "I don't know." "I'm going to look for him and we'll meet in Roc's room." "Everything all right, Toni?" "I think that today nobody's quite okay." "No, not really." "Today isn't my day." "Nor mine either." "I may donate a kidney to Bru." "Really?" "Yeah, he got really happy." "That's great, Toni!" "Benito!" "Benito..." "Benito!" "What is it?" "Nothing... were you Sleeping?" "I was trying to." "What do you want?" "To chat for a bit." "Of course." "Talk to me." "It's an outrage." "They're my specialty, outrages." "I've spent... nearly 2 years moving between hospitals." "I know." "Almost 2 years fighting against cancer of the leg, against the chemo... 2 years thrown away." "Thrown away?" "That's one way of putting it." "And really, I have the feeling I'm missing out on many things." "Many things?" "Like what?" "Nightclubs." "I've never been to one." "And I remember the day before being admitted... friends talked to me about going, but I got sick..." "You missed it." "Yes, I missed it." "But I've had good parties, in the hospital." "Very good." "And, for example... a motorbike." "I've never had one either." "And you'd have liked one, right?" "Very much." "And..." "I've also missed out on..." "Sex." "You know?" "I..." "I've... never..." "And of course, I'm sure that all my friends, well... that is..." "must have already..." "But when you leave hospital, everything you're telling me about will still be there, the nightclubs, motorbikes, sex... everything." "I know, but I really think that my illness..." "I don't like to call it an "illness"." "Then call it something else then." "So, everything I do trying to get out of here alive, makes me not really think about the minor problems, it's as if they didn't exist." "I can't devote myself to a big problem and a small one all at once, you know?" "The big ones..." "require all my attention... and they force me to fight them with all my energy, and I thought I'd address the small problems when I got out of here, but since Ignasi died..." "I'm realizing that there isn't time, I don't have time... and I'm missing out." "Do you know that no kid your age would speak the way you do?" "So what?" "The thing is, what you've been through here..." "as you've fought, you've matured." "No kid will achieve that in a nightclub, nor riding a motorbike or going out every night." "Your great problem has made you very special." "I don't want to be special." "But you are." "You can't change that." "And if Ignasi's death has made you think about that other little problem, maybe it's time you confront it." "I'm scared, Benito.." "Are you scared of a little problem when every day you confront a big problem?" "So, maybe now you need help." "You can't fix everything on your own, Lleó." "I know." "Do you want to talk about it?" "It has to do with... with Cris and..." "but I don't want to talk now." "No problem." "You know where to find me." "I hope that my illness..." "I hope my big problem... allows me to help you, still." "I dont want you to lose your memory." "I don't want you..." "to forget this conversation, please." "Do you know what the best thing is?" "That although I'll forget, you'll always remember." "And that makes me very happy." "Thanks." "Thanks to you." "I also really think I'm missing many things from outside, and you're giving them back to me." "Lleó..." "they're operating on Roc, and the bracelets have decided to be together." "Are you coming?" "Sure." "See you soon, Benito." "Bye, Lleó." "Bye." "Bye, Benito." "(When we're together,)" "(the day becomes shorter.)" "(The night is a new world...) (in which we fly naked.)" "The afternoon they lowered the intercranial pressure... for singing with my eyes closed, was a different day for all the Bracelets." "(Nothing can harm us,)" "(The life is a gift we're not allowed to exchange.)" "Two friends found the hope they needed." "One was needing a kidney to be able to resume a normal life." "And the other one, time inside the hospital, to be able to continue having a normal life." "(The envy is an intruder that wants to separate us.)" "(When we're together the city seems smaller to us.)" "(No one understands our games.)" "Other Bracelets realized how complicated life would be, when they left the hospital." "The pain, doesn't really come from the heart... but from the people beside you." "They'll be aware of all that for the first time." "(I love you.)" "Something isn't right." "I can no longer hear him." "I no longer hear what Roc says." "You ought to believe me." "Why do you say that?" "Because I can't tell lies." "We could do a concert, a concert to encourage Roc." "Sure." "We need someone musical." "Who are you, boy?" "Tomorrow morning you'll be discharged." "You're almost cured." "It's the best news you could give me." "You're in love with Lleó." "Toni...!" "What?" "What song will you perform?" "I have a proposal." "Without you, if you're not there, without you..." "I'm nothing." "You're an angel who's come to take Roc away." "Really you're confused." "I'm not an angel who takes people away." "Subtitles by Oliver Sanderson"
