The Awakening of the Ants (El despertar de las hormigas)

One, two, three, four, five...

No! Don't stop where the stone falls!

That's where you always go wrong.

THE AWAKENING OF THE ANTS

I'll probably fall.

It happens.

I'll go!

Yes, thank God.

I wouldn't be able to handle four. How do you do it?

There's nothing nicer than a large family.

If I had to make a top ten of the best soccer games ever,

I would definitely put the snowing match first.

Yes, as motivation.

Of course!

It was epic.

That's where The Monster was born.

Dear, go and tell her to stop bothering you and tell your mom.

- Isa? - Yes?

What did you give me?

This coffee's terrible.

- You used the can by the stove? - Yes, but it tastes awful.

- You passed me the salt. - I'm sorry.

Do you want me to make some more?

No, I'll make it. Relax.

- Call me if you need me. - I'll let you know.

I'd like a...

Anyone want some coffee?

- I do! - Me too, please.

I'm making some more then.

- Mom. - What is it?

Valery pinched me.

Look at you.

Come on here.

You're all dirty.

So dusty. Valery!

Valery!

Isa, the cake's looking so pretty.

- Thanks. - Really pretty.

I want to see.

Look how pretty. Those details...

Isn't the cross too thick?

Let me, let me. Look at those spaces.

No, mom, no.

Some other color, maybe? Light blue?

That's too close, mom, now you can't see the flowers.

It's prettier when it's all even.

No, mom.

There, that's better.

Look who's here.

Take this, honey. My cutie!

Hello, baby.

He's so beautiful.

Isa, you should start thinking about having another one.

I'm tired of telling them to have another child.

If I could!

- Is he crying? - No, he's fine.

We're trying, so maybe there'll be a new baby soon.

Good, that's great.

Isn't that right?

That's great.

- Where's my coffee, Isa? - They're making some more.

Mine are all grown up.

Here, take the baby.

I have to finish this.

Look, he wants to go with you.

Go with your auntie.

Coffee's ready.

I want some. Where is it?

- I'll bring it over. - Will you?

Yes, yes, yes.

- With sugar, please? - How many?

Two. Two sugars.

- And Felipe? - I left him with...

There he is. Thanks.

Who's the cutest baby in the whole wide world?

Come here.

I was looking for him.

Isa, how's the cake going? You nearly done?

We're all waiting.

Thanks.

What is it?

Isa?

Is the cake ready?

- Can I take it in? - Yes.

Alright, excuse me. Thanks.

Who wants cake?

Let's go!

Valery, stop swaying.

Get your stuff, we're leaving.

Go get your stuff, girls. It's getting late.

- Shall we? - In a while.

It's rather late.

Let's go.

One more beer.

Greivin, you should sing at a karaoke.

Me? In a karaoke?

You have a good voice.

Like Bernardo. Bernardo...

doesn't look like he can sing, but he does.

Valery, come here.

Take those glasses, please.

Last one! Already on it.

No, you do it. Half coke, half guaro.

Last one before we go.

Your daughter's grown so big.

Yes, they grow up so fast.

My kids don't listen to me anymore.

I remember when I took my son to kindergarten.

Liar. Your wife took him.

Yes, they grow so fast you don't even notice.

School, then high school, and afterwards...

Carlos, what's wrong with you? Go over there, honey.

- How dare you give her guaro? - Just a sip.

You can't give her guaro.

It was just a sip.

Calm down, we're family.

Yes, we are, but that's not right.

I didn't do anything. Just offered her a sip.

Time to go. Come on, let's go.

I'm her father, and I wouldn't.

Let's go, Alcides.

It was just a teeny-tiny sip.

Let's go, it's really late.

Yeah, but...

Good night, good night.

- See you, goodbye. - See you!

Let's go, Valery. Good night.

Let's go. Bye, girls!

I'll braid your hair.

- Come here, sit. - Wait, my collar.

Sit. We'll fix that later.

We're going to be late. It's late already.

Eyes to the front.

Open the pins and give them to me.

I know, Valery, I know.

- Here. - Don't talk to me like that.

Alright.

We'll be late and they'll be upset.

Why is all this stuff out? What are you doing to her hair?

I'm braiding it.

You don't need all that to make a braid.

I couldn't hold all her hair.

To make a braid,

you divide the hair in three parts.

Divide the hair in three and put one here...

That's what I was doing.

I want to learn too.

Only one of you can learn today.

- Me. - No, your sister. Sit down.

Don't pull my hair, Valery. It hurts.

Liar. I'm not pulling your hair.

- Don't pull your sister's hair. - I'm not.

- Mom! - Come on, it's nothing.

Mom, did you ever think of cutting your hair?

Why do you ask?

Daddy loves long hair. Doesn't he, mom?

Yes.

My friend Sofía asked me why I didn't cut my hair.

So if Sofía tells you to jump off a bridge, you jump.

Don't laugh.

Good morning.

How are you, Isa?

I'm fine.

- Is it ready? - Almost.

Did you have milk?

I'll do it.

You can start with your coffee.

You know I like it with a little milk.

Open the package and share them.

- Look at her. - Valery, share with your sister.

She says it's always me.

Give your sister a cookie.

I already gave you one.

That's enough.

Nicole, stop playing. Valery!

Valery, leave your sister alone.

Here.

I don't want any.

Eat what you put on your plate.

- This is what I put. - Valery, go brush your teeth.

Go.

Give it to me! How will I brush my teeth?

Use air!

I can't go to school with dirty teeth.

Gimme! I want the toothpaste.

Stop fighting! What is it now?

She won't let me have the toothpaste.

- It's almost all gone. - There's enough for both.

- Hold it. - She doesn't know how to.

Isa, hurry up with the girls. It's late.

Mom!

- Bye, girls! - Bye!

I don't know...

- These pants look huge on you. - Yes.

As if I'd never tried them on.

Hold on, I'll take them in.

They're too big.

I'll take it in here.

You need to be careful with the pockets,

so they won't bunch up when she does this.
