Skins (Pieles)

Simón Robledos.

Can you tell me her name?

YEAR 2000

Claudia Martínez.

Room number?

I don't know.

Just a moment...

She's in Room 237.

And...?

She just gave birth.

Hello, are you still there?

Hello? Can you hear me?

Is she alright?

Absolutely fine.

And the baby?

As well.

Thank you.

Are you done?

CHILDREN

- Don't you like any of them? - It's not that...

We've got all kinds of people.

DEFORMED

Right, that's enough.

What are you after, boys or girls?

You can speak freely here.

I don't care about the gender.

Then you have all you need right here.

I think I'm going to go.

It's natural for this to happen to you the first time.

It happens to lots of you.

But what can you do?

You can't control your instincts.

What's happening to you now will go on all your life.

I have to go, my wife just gave birth.

And the right thing to do now is to see your baby?

I don't know what to do.

I don't want to hurt anyone.

I don't want to hurt my child.

Did you know the Egyptian civilization lasted 3,000 years,

and in those 3,000 years many generations were born

and died as slaves, never knowing another life?

I don't know what you mean.

What I mean is that some people are born to suffer

and if they're made to suffer, it doesn't matter

because it's what they were born for.

That's horrible.

The world is horrible,

the human being is horrible,

but we can't run away from it

because we are the horror.

You have to accept it.

We do social work.

You don't want to hurt anyone you love, like your baby.

Do it here, no one suffers here.

You can meet her tomorrow.

- How old is she? - 11.

Don't be stupid, don't do it outside.

She won't suffer.

Come here tomorrow.

Maybe I couldn't talk to you when I saw you.

There's something in your look that I never saw.

Pitiless silence instead of love,

and when I sought to speak, someone sang.

Dancing together, all around.

As I was watching, facing you both,

I felt that someone spoke,

and it was your voice.

When he caressed you, someone sang.

And in the darkness, suddenly I understood

that it was my pride that hurt you.

Unwillingly, I myself guided you

by her side,

as had happened before.

When I lost your love, someone sang.

SKINS

In the world there are people it's better not to see.

You deserve the prettiest eyes in the world.

YEAR 2017

Honey!

I'm off to work! On the subway today! I'll be back later.

Okay!

Are you going to eat?

Yes.

WE HAVE ELIMINATED YOUR PUBLICATION.

IT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH E.U. NORMS.

Do you know what you want?

- Have you got chicken soup? - Yes, but it's not on the menu.

It's alright, never mind.

The bill!

- That's her, right? - Yeah.

What's up, cutie? What are you doing?

But don't go yet, cutie.

One question.

If you've got an ass on your face, have you got a mouth on your ass?

Go on, give her a kiss.

Fuck, look at all this shit. You put this up your asshole.

- Where you going? - Come here.

- Got your phone? - Yeah, sure.

Film this.

Fuck!

Get her!

Come with us!

Don't go, bitch!

She's ready.

Are you sure you want the same one as usual? We've got new people.

- Yes. I want Laura. - You have to pay in advance.

I've only got this.

55?

Yes.

She doesn't know I've been here before, does she?

- Unless you've told her, no. - No, I never speak.

Then no.

I'll tell you when to go in.

Alright.

And stop treating me like a little girl. I'm 29.

I'm sick of it.

Laura, he has your diamonds!

Laura!

Where are they?

Here they are, Laura.

My diamonds!

They're not here.

Why did I get handed this life?

I can't take it anymore.

I can't take it anymore.

Mama. Mama.

Mama, please.

- Calm down. - Why me?

Why me?

My life was fine.

I can't take it anymore.

Mama.

This is my girlfriend.

My girlfriend.

Get out of my life, dear.

Get out and don't come back.

I love you.

Go.

Black your hair

it covered your body.

So full of love

I saw you dancing.

Another man embraced you,

another man kissed you,

but it was me

you were looking at.

Face of a Gypsy,

sweet, passionate,

you gave me your love

with a sword.

Today along the ways

you wander to your destination,

you live love,

you steal affection.

Where are your eyes so deep?

And the fire of your lips that were mine?

The spirits I drink open my wounds,

I get drunk and love you even more.

Well, I'll call later.

- Vanesa. - Yes?

It's important to be more relaxed.

You're very nervous and that's not good for you or the baby.

In vitro pregnancies are very delicate,

and more in your case because of the achondroplasia.

And when will I find out if my child has achondroplasia?

- We'll know in a few days. - Okay.

Now get some rest. And a vacation would be even better.

That's not going to be possible.

What do you do?

I...

Okay, we've got it! Break for a sandwich!

Nobody step on the cyclorama.

You have 15 minutes.

Come on, hurry up!

Honestly, I don't get it.

Claudia, I know it's hard, but you have to make an effort.

I am making an effort.

I'm here because Social Services told me to.

He acts like the victim. I'm the victim here.

I know you feel bad too,

but if you want to help him, try to take a back seat.

I've always been in the back seat.

Maybe we should talk to his father too. It may be the only way to help your son.

If you can find him...

Well... What the hell's wrong with him this time?

Your son has Body Integrity Identity Disorder.

What the fuck is that?

Your son doesn't recognize his legs for what they are.

- Is he crazy? - No, he's not, he needs help.

- Why has he got it? - People with BIID...

- What's that? - The same thing.

- Can I smoke? - No.

Sorry.

I was saying that BIID patients have a schizoid behavior

- and it may be for two reasons. - What reasons?

They see an amputee and take them as a role model...

What the f...?

...or they don't feel loved and think that as an amputee

they can get the affection that they need.

- He's dyed his hair now. - What's that got to do with it?
