Sunday's Illness (La enfermedad del domingo)

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL FILM

Don't be insistent, move on to another group.

Move fluidly and be brief and concise

when answering questions, without being too familiar.

Some of my guests are a bit special,

you know what I mean.

If you drop a tray, withdraw quietly, others have been assigned

to apologize and clean up.

And finally, no accessories.

No rings, piercings, bracelets or earrings.

I'm sure you'll do an excellent job.

Thank you all.

Wine?

White, please.

Sorry!

Sorry.

Sorry, sorry.

-That's okay. -Are they disturbing you?

-No, I love dogs. -Really?

-Can I feed him? -Yes, but he'll love you forever.

Even better.

-Should I intervene? -No, it's fine. They must like you, normally they're not so affectionate.

Don't take that bottle.

Bring it to me, please.

Hello, Ricardo. How are you?

Hello. Would you like to have a drink with us?

No, thank you, I have an interview.

I'll see you next week. Nice to see you.

I ordered you tea.

And a bottle of sparkling water, please.

You don't want anything?

Can you take off your glasses?

Sorry.

Sorry!

I don't think they'll let you smoke here.

They forbid it but nobody notices if you do.

Unless someone complains, of course.

Sure.

There's always one of those in a place like this.

Your family doesn't know, do they?

No.

You've never told anyone?

No.

It's weird.

What is?

Almost not existing.

It's weird.

How did you find me?

It's easy to find a vain person.

How did you get into my house?

If I tell you, you'll probably try to retaliate against someone

-who isn't at fault. -Only to know if it was difficult.

Not at all. I could have massacred everyone.

I'm joking.

Excuse me, ma'am. You can't smoke here.

You see? She said I could, I'm sorry.

-No, you can't. -Okay, I'm putting it out.

What do you want?

I need you to spend ten days with me.

What?

That.

Ten days.

It's not a threat.

You can think it over if you want.

Thank you.

What's left over is the tip.

How much?

She doesn't want money.

How could you go and meet with her without telling me?

-For God's sake, Anabel. -I wanted to resolve it myself.

What does she want?

To spend ten days with me.

Where?

I don't know.

I got up and left before she could tell me.

-Did she threaten you? -No.

How old is she?

Forty-two or forty three, maybe.

Her name is Chiara.

She's my daughter and I abandoned her when she was eight years old.

Are you sure that it's her?

Yes.

Why?

I see myself in her.

You can go in, they'll be with you in a moment.

Would you like anything? Coffee?

No.

Please, take a seat.

We called you

because we'd like to clarify some things about your...

peculiar request.

To spend ten days with Mrs. Barnuevo.

Yes.

For example, what's the agenda scheduled for the period

you'd be spending together?

-Agenda? -Yes.

I mean a calendar of...

Let's say, activities.

There is none.

You're not going to do anything?

We'll do something.

We'd like to know

if there's a quicker solution.

Financial compensation, for example.

No.

Any other kind?

No.

I'd like to know what you're getting out of this.

Understand that it's a little strange for us.

Accepting that you appear out of nowhere after 30 years

only to spend a few days on vacation with my wife.

If I'd known how to find her sooner

I wouldn't have waited so long.

What if she says no?

I don't know, I haven't considered that.

Why not?

Because of what we are.

We've prepared a contract

stipulating that in exchange

you renounce any relationship with Mrs. Barnuevo.

It's simply a way to make sure

that there won't be any more requests like this in the future.

You can take it and read it at your leisure.

That won't be necessary.

Anything else?

There wasn't a restaurant with better parking options?

You'd have more options if you arrived on time for once.

We went ahead and ordered for all three of us.

I'll order something for myself.

We have something important to tell you.

Are you separating?

No, it's not that.

One of you is sick?

No, Anabel is going to be away for ten days.

And we wanted to tell you.

Where are you going?

It's a matter I can't resolve myself

and she's going to handle it.

What matter?

Please!

Why are you telling me?

You never do.

I have another daughter

who I haven't seen since she was eight.

And she's asked me to spend a few days together.

Are you both crazy?

You sound like you've lost your minds.

What if she wants to kill you?

No, sweetie...

Everything's under control.

Would you ever have told me if she hadn't shown up?

Or would I never have found out?

We'll discuss that later on.

Will you excuse me?

I'm dying for a cigarette.

Why haven't you seen each other in all this time?

She was raised by her father.

Why?

You abandoned her?

Yes.

Then, you know...

Be nice to her.

How is Mathieu?

Seeing my father isn't part of the deal.

Don't worry.

How is he?

Well...

He's dead.

What happened?

He smoked too much, you know.

He's buried in the town cemetery if you want to visit him.

Who lives here?

Me.

Why?

I don't know.

Did you expect it to be abandoned?

I don't know.

Maybe an altar in your honor...

Please.

Pour the wine.

Do you prefer to cook or do you want me to?

If you want, we can both do it.

How about we share duties for now?

All right.

All right.

-You don't have another glass? -No, I don't drink.

I've forbidden myself.

You can light the fireplace if you want.

Otherwise we'll freeze during dinner.

There's no signal in this area because of the mountain behind us.

That's okay.

The normal phone works, it's over there.

You can call your husband if you want.

That's okay, maybe later.

-So he won't worry... -Why would he?

Tell him I seem normal.

That it doesn't look like I want to kill you.

How did you get so popular?

My husband's career led me into that world.

Right.
