Vera and the Pleasure of Others

You okay?

Yeah.

Did you finish?

Yeah.

[female voice panting passionately]

[Baezz's "Balanceándonos" playing]

[song continues playing faintly over headphones]

I don't know.

Hey there.

Are you 3B?

Are you Lula665?

Yeah.

Okay.

Let's go in.

The bathroom is over there.

I left toilet paper and soap.

You have two hours.

-You smoke? - No, no.

Ah, that's cool, 'cause you can't.

-There's nothing in there. Okay? -Okay.

-I thought there was a bed. -No.

But this one works just fine.

It's comfortable. Almost like a bed cushion.

-Want one? -No.

-Do you? -No, no.

Okay.

This whole place is yours to have a good time.

I'll be back in two hours.

Hey, don't open up to anyone, yeah?

If you need me, just text.

Oh, and latch the door.

Chau.

[female voice panting passionately]

- - Watch out!

Good one! Once again!

Come on, Vera! We started 20 minutes ago.

Up, up! I see a space!

Come on! Faster!

A little faster, come on!

Come on now, one more time!

Okay, relax.

Take a deep breath.

Come on, again!

Good!

Take a break.

Three, two, one...

You idiot. You keep coming so late.

You're screwing up.

- You're a benchwarmer. -

Go to hell.

Hey, shall we go to Anto's on Saturday?

- After the match? - Yeah.

- - Yeah, sure.

Are you in?

-Hey. -What?

-Are you in? -Um, yeah. Sure, I'm in.

Ah, awesome.

-Someone's looking for you. -Cut it out.

What are you up to?

Nothing, it's my mom. She's outside.

[female voice panting passionately]

What are you doing here?

Did anyone see you? I told you to wait inside.

No, nobody saw us.

The power is off, and it's boring.

Sorry.

Whatever. It's 500 pesos.

Yeah.

Okay, come on.

[female voice panting passionately]

Hello.

Hi.

Can I leave this?

-I'll pick it up tomorrow. -Sure. Sounds good.

Yes, I understand perfectly.

But the condo association can't approve it.

There's no way.

Exactly.

Yes, of course.

-I mean... -Hello, Mom.

-Hello, honey. How are you? -How are you?

No. No. We need to adjust it more.

It's very difficult this way.

Yes.

Wait. Vera. Vera.

Your bag.

Clothes in the laundry room. Yes.

Yes.

No, I can't do that. What?

Okay.

No, I'll take care of it, as usual.

Yes, of course.

Yes, of course.

Orlowski, I need you to take a look at the apartment on Salta.

It's at the corner of Francia Street.

The tenant called and said the floor is peeling off,

-so go tomorrow, no matter what. -

Thank you. No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop. Not this one.

Put this one here. It's from the apartment on Rioja Street.

And yes, this one's from Moreno 54. Pay attention, please, Verita.

Okay. I need to take this.

And do me a favor, Verita.

Help me with these, my dear.

Organize them well for me, okay?

Lower the volume. Lower it.

-I can't hear. -But you're going over there.

- -Hey there, Marisa! How are you?

Yes.

That's a very good decision.

That's right, two bedrooms.

No, not by the sea,

but it's just three blocks away. Yes.

-And four blocks from downtown. -

Vera, honey, please.

I'm so sorry.

That's my daughter.

Oh, great. I think it's ideal.

Okay, I'm just going to ask you for your email address.

Yes, so I can send you my account number for the deposit.

Yeah? Do you agree?

Okay.

That's great. All right, go ahead.

Yes. Wait until I find something to...

Yes, tell me. I'll write it down, yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Excellent.

Okay. Very well.

Okay. Bye-bye.

Yes. Thank you.

Hello.

Robbie. I have some excellent news.

I rented out an apartment, the Pinamar's.

So, that's one problem less.

Uh, big kiss, and we'll speak tomorrow.

Problem solved so you can relax now. See you.

[man speaking indistinctly on video]

How was school today?

Hm. I had tests and couldn't care less.

That's how it is this time of year, you know that.

Mm.

What is that?

It's awesome.

But what is it?

-[keys jingling -

-Dad! - Hello, sweetheart.

Hi, Dad.

My little one.

-You okay? -Yeah.

-Hi. -How's everything?

- -Don't leave this here.

-Could you just...? -Right. I'm sorry.

And Vera, I'm serious.

It's the last time I tell you,

turn that thing down.

I'm working.

So?

As always, I was benched like an elf on the shelf.

And who's playing in your position?

Marina.

Marina's little elf too.

But she can jump.

-So can you, you know. -

-When's the match? -This Saturday.

I'm coming. Hm? We'll definitely win.

-Coming too, Adri? -Okay.

On Saturday? No, I can't.

I have to show two apartments.

Look. Look at this.

-Look, I was filmed there. -Yeah.

-See? - It's fantastic, Dad!

Wait, wait. Watch me cut off the pass there.

- That's amazing. -He doesn't get it.

-Yeah, you killed him. -No way. It was perfect.

You killed him. Show me again.

-No! -There's no way he gets it.

Does anyone in this house notice I'm working?

-Go give her a hand. -I already did.

-Go help her, come on. -I did it already.

For dinner, how about potatoes?

I don't know.

I had a snack after the match, so...
