Animas (Ánimas)

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL FILM

OUT OF ORDER

May I?

It's broken.

Do you want me to fix it?

Do you know how?

I can try.

Do you know what I do when I'm scared?

I count my heart beats.

When I'm scared, it beats fast.

But if I am focused, they slow down.

Try it.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

7... 8...

9... 10...

11...

You're not scared any more, are you?

TEN YEARS LATER

GRADUATION PARTY

It's over.

Free at last.

Well...

Now comes the worst.

I hope my marks allow me to go to college

or they'll put me in the store with my father.

In 20 years I picture you yelling around

and throwing cell phones against walls.

I'd rather jump off a building.

What marks would you need to be a pilot?

- Wanna come? - Where?

GRADUATION PARTY

- Ok. - Cool.

As long as you are in control you don't have to be worried.

Ok.

- Honey, I'm going to the store. - Ok, Mom.

How was it with Anchi?

We've been talking.

Poor thing...

I forgot to tell you that's the price for a close encounter.

I really like her. She loves horror movies, like me.

Oh, and she goes to therapy as well.

She goes to a shrink too?

Psychotherapist.

Right. Well, after one year of "psychotherapy",

if it wasn't for me,

Ha-ha. We also talked about you.

About me?

Fuck, Bram, don't talk to people about me.

- Why not? - Because... I dunno...

So... What did she say?

Am I the one she's in love with?

That's why she's constantly looking at me...

No. Actually, she doesn't even like you.

Thanks for sharing that with me.

I actually love her.

I'm very into nerds and freaks.

That's why I'm always with you.

Well, we'll talk tomorrow, she's waiting for me.

Have fun.

Mom?

Bosco?

When have I failed my word?

Listen... Answer me.

Answer me, when have I failed?

I'm telling you the IOU expires tomorrow. Look at the date.

Look at the date! What does it say?

I'm telling you, it expires tomorrow.

Calm down! I'm very calmed!

I'm going to the bank to fix it right now. Calm down!

Fuck!

Hello?

- What's up? - What's up?

I dunno, you just woke me up.

- Breakfast later? - Yes, sure.

- See you at yours? - Eleven o'clock.

Sure.

Bad morning, Bosco.

How did the night go with Anchi?

How was it last night?

How was it last night?

Fine, I told you. It was fine.

Whoa whoa... All this secrecy...

Something's going on.

What? I'm watching the movie.

You've seen it a million times, they're all the same.

They say they're scary, but they're disgusting.

Do you want to know something really scary?

What?

Last night, when I got home...

What?

Something happened...

Maybe I dreamt it. Well, I probably dreamt it.

But it was totally real.

I've never been so afraid in my life.

Your father forgot his lunch.

Why won't you tell me how it went with Anchi?

- Do you think I'm jealous or something? - Shut up.

You're so weird today.

Is it something she told you?

Tell me.

What?

I can't believe that after all this time...

I told you!

- She doesn't like me. - It's not just that.

What, then?

This is so typical,

she'll want you for herself and try to distance you from your friends,

well, from me.

Stop telling me how the world works! I'm not dumb!

I know the way things work.

Well, a little bit dumb...

How can they drive so fast here?

Give me more time, just that.

Please, help me. Give me more time.

What can I do?

You can't do this to me.

If you shut my store I'm fucked!

- Help me, please! - Wait.

Listen to me. Listen to me!

Listen to me, fuck!

Fucking listen to me!

Help me! Listen to me!

Listen to me!

What's up, Mom?

Hi.

Is it just me, or is your mother going more...

She won't get any better.

As long as she has to put up with my old man...

How did your father die?

Why?

Dunno.

You never told me.

Honestly, I don't know.

Come on.

How can you not know?

Well...

About my father... It's weird.

I only have bits and pieces.

I was very young.

Although I always thought he died of exhaustion.

All his life working, being bitter...

Doing the same thing every day.

If bitterness killed...

none of us would be alive.

Do you want to have lunch at my place?

- Well... - Right.

- I can come with you both. - No.

- Bram, what's going on? - Nothing.

Nothing?

- Should I ask her? - Will you leave Anchi alone?

As soon as she tells me what's happening here.

- No, don't do that. - It'll be over sooner if you tell me.

This. This happens.

You get into everything in my life, have an opinion about everything.

This morning I called you to tell you something.

- But in the end... I didn't dare. - Don't worry then...

I won't give you a hard time.

I'm leaving myself.

Mom?

Bosco!

Mom?

This phone is out of service. Please, leave a message.

Abraham?

Hello?

Laura?

ABRAHAM CERBERO

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT BY DR. KARLA BERGER

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

- Jesus, Bram! - What?

- Why didn't you answer your phone? - I was with Anchi. What's wrong?

I can't find my mom. Or Bosco.

So?

It's not like her not to answer her phone.

But it's not just that.

What?

- Your apartment. You left the door open. - Shit!

Perhaps I closed it on my way out. But I swear it was open.

Is dad home yet?

Here we go...

We'll see how he comes today.

Dude...

I didn't realise that your mother was here before.

She's like a ghost.

- And you realise that now? - Dinner is ready.

I had a friend once, but the doctor told me to stop seeing him.

Why?

That's what I told him. But he insisted...

I don't know how many times I've seen this episode.

I know it by heart.

Don't make a big deal about it.

Hey, I didn't know people lived down below.

- Down? Where? - In the apartment in front of mine.

No idea. Mom?

Do you know anything about that?

About what?

About the people living down below.

No.

Nobody lives there. Why?

I just thought...

I thought I heard people. Noises.
