Alpha Males (Machos alfa)

I pick him up. He doesn't have a plan. Wants me to surprise him.

Says he's happy to be supported by a woman.

And then he splits the bill.

I didn't care.

I paid just so I didn't have to see him doing the math on his phone.

-He's a princess. -Huh?

A sensitive, aesthetic guy in touch with his feminine side.

-He wants you to seduce him. -Freeloader.

If you ask someone out, you pay.

"Daniela, you didn't call. I don't know why."

"I feel a little hurt."

I'm not seeing a guy who's so much work.

-I want a Pedro who isn't Pedro. -Be specific.

Sensitive, but not a crybaby.

Feminist, but still opens the car door for me.

Doesn't mind if I earn more, but wants to treat me to everything.

Masculine, but not a sexist pig. Attentive and romantic, but not cheesy.

A guy who takes care of me, but gives me my space.

A manly guy who can listen,

and who doesn't try to give me advice all the time.

And who's great in bed, but is only turned on by me.

Not that hard, right?

"Patriarchal Pact LLC, the buyer,

and Mr. Beltrán Padierna Zugasti

and Mrs. Casilda Huebra Cabarrús, the sellers,

agree to formalize the sale of the parcel

with the registration details and boundaries described above."

"The parcel is sold as is, free of encumbrances,

and with all taxes, assessments, and fees paid up to date."

"Both parties acknowledge its current physical and legal condition."

"As proof of their agreement, they sign this document."

Great.

This is like getting married.

Don't jinx it.

Guys, we have the land for our future home!

A picture, please.

This…

Hey, I chose that lamp.

-Who paid for it? -Gonna say that about everything?

We can't be arguing over dessert spoons.

Then don't take them!

Don't you feel sad leaving your daughter's childhood home?

Very. But I won't have to see you anymore.

I'm trying to make this a nice goodbye.

You're not doing a great job.

Santi, my friend. Good luck in life, okay?

Same to you.

Hey! My daughter's back!

-Who's this? -Your mother's boyfriend.

How was Thailand, sweetie?

Thank God they didn't put drugs in your suitcase.

-Who's leaving? -Your father.

Dad.

Dad! You're leaving me here with Mom and a German guy?

Raúl.

Raúl!

Álex is staying with me here this week.

Since Luis and Pedro are with their kids…

Life's full of surprises. Now you're the one with nowhere to go.

That underwear at your age? Seriously?

-You said no women. -She's my daughter. She doesn't count.

-Will you get dressed? -You're breaking your own rules.

"Patriarchal Pact, LLC"?

It's our project.

We plan to live together on a plot of land we bought.

No women.

You take a deconstruction course and build a macho ghetto that bans women.

That bans intimate relationships.

-You don't need to explain yourself. -Get dressed already, please.

The apartment's really nice.

-Why are you selling? -Downsizing.

I gave up success, fame, and money to be more myself. I screwed up, I know.

I worked in a bank until I realized real estate speculation's more profitable.

We're two romantics, Gonzalo.

I'll think about it and let you know.

-Don't you wanna see the bedroom? -Can I?

I thought it was an invasion of privacy.

Privacy? That doesn't exist anymore.

This way.

I don't have any unspeakable secrets.

-What about speakable ones? -They wouldn't be secrets.

-Are we flirting all of a sudden? -Yeah. A little.

I'm not giving you a discount, okay?

-Daniela wants to meet you. -Me?

To make sure you're not a crazy person

who'll cause irreparable harm to her son.

I don't know. It's kind of weird.

I already told her this isn't serious.

-It's not? -I'm saying it for you, not me.

Your kids told me that lots of "daddies" have slept in your house.

I'm single. Who should I be faithful to? The air?

I'd rather not introduce her to anyone if it's not going anywhere.

What is this? The "what are we" conversation?

No. Zero pressure. She just likes to meddle.

Look, I consider you a viable partner.

This is where you say you don't, and you destroy me.

No, I feel that way about you too.

Totally.

There you go. Labeled. Let's kiss to celebrate.

Tell her we'll have lunch tomorrow.

I'm going to the fish counter.

Luis, it seems Ulises and Begoña's daughter, Sofía,

are in a relationship.

Oh, how nice.

First love. You never forget that.

-Nice? -Yeah.

What's this?

"Delete your story right now, you fucking bitch."

"You're showing your tits."

What the hell is this?

"Give me your Instagram password. Are you hiding anything?"

"Where are you? I bet you're out being a cocktease."

-But… -"Send me your location."

"Why are you liking Julen's posts, you dirty slut?"

How are you raising your son?

-In a good way, or so I thought. -Where are you, bro?

Two homeless guys are fighting in the park. I'm not going in alone.

Sorry. Duty calls.

-You're leaving? -This behavior needs to be stopped.

Yeah. I'll talk to Ulises over a PowerPoint.

-Bro! -I'm coming, Julián.

I'm off to my short film casting to pick a surfer.

A surfer? For Echoes of a Wound?

Yes. Rather than killing her sister, the protagonist goes kitesurfing to cope.

And she meets a thirty-something hunk, who brings her back to life.

I want it to have a moral.

"Life rewards courage."

Do you know how to kitesurf?

You can teach me. Or be my stunt double.

-Wanna come as my assistant? -To the casting?

I'm Álvaro. I'm 36 years old, and these are my side profiles.

Would you mind taking your shirt off, Álvaro?

It's important you have a surfer's body.

Yep, he does. Do you know the lines?

Yeah. It's a bit cold in here, isn't it?

Say, "Action."

-Action. -I get to the shore.

This kitesurfing thing is so hard!

You're making a lot of progress, Estefanía.

Thank you very much, Álvaro. We'll call you.

Next.

Which flooring do you prefer? For underfloor heating

we need porcelain tiles. Okay?

But if we want natural wood, we need to install radiators.

Which would affect the layout.

Do we have to decide now?

Whatever you say. We trust you.

You're not excited to design your own house from scratch?

They all look the same to me.

What are you talking about?

Look. This, for example, is natural oak.

And this is oak-colored porcelain. Come on, you can tell.

I like underfloor heating.

Esther liked to walk barefoot around the house.

Careful with what you say.

Women don't live here, and they don't have a say.

Yeah. No women.

No, none of that. Alicia.

Pedro, Mario halted the shoot and has locked himself in his trailer.

Get here ASAP.

Mario, it's me.

They want a flat Pablo. No rough edges.

I refuse. I don't do TV for this.

Let's go to the set and take it from there.

Fuck!

Fucking shit!

Anabel, you didn't have to…

Try it on. See if it's your size.

Here?

Or in the bathroom. Wherever you feel more comfortable.

-No. Cut! -What's he doing?

I'm not attracted to her. I'd never do the eye-flirting thing.

You're not attracted to her, but you are.

-It's the eroticism of power. -I wasn't attracted to Ángela at all.

On the contrary, I felt harassed.

It's not good writing.

I'm going home. Let me know when you have something decent.

Son,

you can't call your girlfriend a slut.

She's all over everyone.

Yeah, but women can do whatever they want with their bodies.

Like Mom with the gym guy?

Yes, like Mom with the gym guy. Although that wasn't right.

-She was a bit… -Slutty.

Selfish.

That's the word I was looking for. But she has every right to be.

If you don't like Sofía's vibe, break up with her.

-You didn't break up. -No, I didn't break up because…

Who are we talking about here?

-I don't wanna be a loser like you. -What?

Go to your room! For insulting your father.

No one does that now. It's all about gentle parenting.

You're grounded too. Better start showing me some respect in this house.

Unbelievable.

BEGOÑA SCHOOL MOM CAN WE MEET LATER?

It seems like kids' stuff, but they're not kids anymore.

A relationship like that leaves a mark.

I don't know where my son got those crazy ideas from.

No one's born a sexist. They become one.
