Despite Everything (A Pesar de Todo)

NETFLIX PRESENTS

Yeah.

You are absolutely right. I should have told you in person,

but you know I don't have time for anything.

This is so sad.

Right. But in a few days, things will look much better.

Leave me the keys, please. Thank you.

Bye.

MOM PASSED AWAY. PLEASE CALL HOME.

Come on now. Piss off.

Go on!

Honey.

I wish I could go with you.

-I'm going to a funeral, not a party. -I know.

But what will your family think if, after a year together, I'm not with you?

-My sisters don't know about you. -What?

Maricruz, listen. About the situation with my husband.

-Yes? -Don't say a word to my sisters.

Yes, madam.

We'll tell them that...

he's on a trip, and that's it.

But I thought your husband was on a trip.

He is on a trip.

That's what I said. He's on a trip.

Yes, madam.

How rude.

Look who's here.

Who told him?

He's family.

I mean, he's practically family. It's only natural.

Who are all these people?

Second uncles of Mom or something.

-I don't know. -Or something.

-What? -Mom had no second uncles, Claudia.

-Or what's up with all those thongs? -What are you talking about?

-The collection of thongs your mother had. -Come on.

-Come on, Claudia. Please. -But...

-Who wears a thong at the age of 70? -Sophia Loren.

-And Mom. -Knock it off. Enough.

That's what I'm saying, but...

Please.

Look. I bet you 20 bucks...

that blonde is wearing a thong.

-No? -I'll be right back.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

My deepest condolences.

She was a wonderful woman.

Wonderful.

Thank you. Thanks for coming.

Were you a friend of Mom's?

Something like that.

Wow...

you look familiar.

You are...

Go away.

You can't be here...

at my wife's funeral. Be gone.

-Be gone. -Dad.

Dad.

Take care of him.

He'll need it.

He's the best man your mother could have wished for.

I have to go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

-Who was that? -I don't know.

You liked her too, right?

I don't know any of Mom's friends.

-Do you? -No, I don't.

Well, you live in Madrid. I don't.

Right, I live in Madrid. But I also have a busy social life.

-Classes of courses that I'm enrolled in. -Please.

I mean... I don't know.

Where's your husband?

Flying.

Flying?

You didn't tell him?

I didn't want to upset him, you know?

What do you mean "upset him", Claudia? Your mother is dead.

-When do you expect to upset him exactly? -I'll figure it out.

Or have you guys come to Madrid for two hours to arrange my life?

You've got a nerve!

-Which one is the lesbian? -The "thespian"?

-The lesbian. -What?

The lesbian!

Ana. Hello, how are you?

-I can't stand those old gossipers. -Ignore them.

Sofía.

Sofía!

Bastards!

-You're all bastards! -Dad!

-You're all-- -Please, Dad, stop it!

-Let me go! Get out! -Dad, stop!

-Careful! Stop it! -Get out of here!

My God! Stop!

My God, he is completely insane.

You all right?

Sorry. I'm sorry.

-It's OK, Dad. -Dad.

-I'm sorry. -You need to rest. Sorry.

-Where did he get this saber? -Saber? It's a butcher's knife, Claudia.

-Dad is not well. -I think he looks in shape.

-I'm going to see him. -Claudia. Sara is with him, it's fine.

Oh, so Sara is with him? You're never here, or Sara, or anyone.

-So I never know when you girls are here. -Oh, so now it's my fault?

I don't want to rest.

Just for a little while. Just a nap.

-Just a short nap. -No, let's make a pact.

Five minutes.

Just a short nap.

And... we'll continue...

Alejandro?

Hey! What are you doing?

-What about Alejandro, Dad? -His show!

It's on TV right now. Put it on for me, please.

Because it's not you. I love you.

All I know is I want to be with you...

-... love you forever. -Too bad...

-...that he's marrying Manuelita... - I'll wait for you.

-...rather than any other girl. - I love you.

I love you more than anyone in this world. I've realized I can't live without you.

Hi.

Hi.

How are you?

I'm good.

Everything OK? If you need anything...

-Long time, no see. You still in New York? -Yeah.

Haven't you missed all this?

-No. -Come on.

What about a nice glass of wine? Or some ham?

-What? -Paella at Casa Rita,

-or tapas at Los Palomos. -Alejandro, this is full of people.

I'm not doing a culinary tour right now.

I haven't seen you in five years. Nothing to say?

I have nothing to say to you.

Sara, it was you who left.

Do you really want to talk about what happened right now?

What? You left!

I waited for you for months. Not a single call.

Not a visit. Not an email. Nothing.

-Sara... -Just leave, please.

-Sara, let me-- -Just go, please.

This is so disrespectful.

-Shit, here we are! I'm so stressed out. -Well, about time!

-What happened? -I got held up.

We were getting ready.

-You have to wake up earlier. -We're only ten minutes late, OK?

-Twelve minutes. -Don't argue.

Is there a bigger drama queen out there?

Claudia, I'm having a great morning, so don't fuck it up for me.

We're going to read our mother's will.

Please, for once in your life, can you not argue like some teenage girls?

Let's get it over with and go home.

Exactly. We read the will and we can all go home. This way.

The notary is at number 2C, I think. Let me see.

You must know that your mother considered this will at length.

We spent so many hours together.

So many hours?

How many hours?

First, you must know your mother wanted half her inheritance

to cover the care and meet the needs of your father.

Well, I think we are all OK with that.

So that's great.

So, what about the other half?

Well, the other half...

I think the best thing to do is to...

hear it from her.

Excuse me?

Are you really going to play a video?

I understand all this must be confusing for you. Don't worry.

That is why I request your attention for a minute.

You'll see that it's a lot easier to understand.

Very well. Here?

Ready?

Yes.

My dearest daughters...

if you are watching this video, that means I'm no longer by your side.

And that is why I want to tell you...

you are the best thing that ever happened to me.

The best.

You have filled me with happiness.

You have given me so many memories. You have made me so proud.

Maybe I wasn't the best mom in the world.

But I feel fulfilled.

There is just one thing that...

I have always carried with me.

That I never dared to confess.

But I don't want to take it to my grave.

Because it has to do with all of you.

I have always kept your real roots hidden from you.

Today is the day that I confess to you that Dad...

Pedro...

is not your biological father.

What did she say?

But if you follow my instructions,

you'll know your true identity soon.

This is a joke, right?

This is some kind of bad joke, right?
