An Ocean Blue (Azul el mar)

AN OCEAN BLUE

Give it to me!

-No! Give it, give it! -No way.

Come on, give it! No!

Churros! Crispy churros with dulce de leche!

-Can I try? -No.

Dad, why is the sea blue?

The water isn't any color. It looks blue

because it's reflecting the sky and it's deep.

So it's not blue?

No, it doesn't have any color. We just see it in different colors.

For instance, here it's blue, but it can be green or greyish too.

It depends on where you are.

But I like it being blue.

Then it's blue.

Come on, go into the water!

Come on, let's go!

-Ceci, try to get this one. -No, no, go, go.

This one, the cube.

Come on! No, this way! A little more.

No, your way.

-Right there! No. -No, your way.

Yes, yes, yes.

Check your height.

-Yeah, there. -Yes, yes, yes.

No! This game's such a scam. Let's play something else.

-This one's a drag. -Yeah, definitely.

-Which one? -That one.

What is it?

I got a job offer in the new Markevich clinic.

It's ready.

They're organizing the staff.

And when did they tell you?

A few days ago. Why?

I could keep my private practice.

I'd do follow-ups with the patients.

Why didn't you tell me?

What do you want to do?

I was organizing the trip, Ricardo. It slipped my mind.

I don't know. I haven't answered them yet,

but it's a good opportunity.

I don't know, Lola. A second job means more time.

I have to focus on the projects that are backed up.

How are we gonna do with the kids?

I don't want them hanging out with the maid all day.

This is not the time. We'll talk about it when we get back.

-No, no, no! -Evil firefighters.

-Back in the game! -I got killed! Wait, no.

-Mom, tell her to lend it to me. -Stop it and share.

I'm older. Why should she get to use my stuff? It's embarrasing.

Stop arguing

and start cleaning up! Look at this. Come on!

Girls, how are you so messy?

-It's Belén. -Not true.

Stop bickering!

-Ricardo, I'm all dirty. -Even better.

The kids are all over the place. They left everything a mess.

Relax, Lola. We're on vacation.

That's what you say now. But in bed, you're the first to complain.

Where are the kids?

Dad, can you buy me a board?

Really? Why? Did you see one on the beach?

Yeah, one of those that you can lay down on in the waves.

No! You'll go too far and won't get out.

But we know how to swim.

Yeah, but you have to be careful with the ocean.

Slow down, Santi!

And the kids?

Did you leave them in the water?

Kids, come back. Don't go out so far!

Come on, Santi.

Look at this one. It's huge.

Come back!

Come back!

Did you see how it barked at them?

It's not an attack. They're friends of fishermen.

They scare the sea-wolves back into the water.

-So they don't still the fish. -Makes sense.

One more. Take another one.

Let go.

It smells awful.

I can't stand it, Dad. Can we go?

We just got here. Cover your nose and breathe through your mouth.

-Look at this one. -Look at the sea wolves.

Yes.

Mom, look. The sea wolves are so beautiful!

They're posing!

-Can I use the camera? -OK, but hang it on your neck.

They have names and numbers.

They come to the water to fish.

-Mom. -What is it?

-I don't feel well. -Do you feel like throwing up?

Let's go find a bathroom. Ricardo.

Look! That sea lion's swimming.

Look, that one grabbed something.

Mommy?

Ceci! What happened? Where's Lola?

-I don't know where she is. -You threw up. Disgusting!

Alright, calm down, she'll be back.

I bet you swallowed ocean water.

-You OK? -Maybe she went to get some medicine.

Yeah. Calm down, she'll be back.

Can we go to the hotel?

-Yeah, as soon as your mom gets here. -Okay.

Are you mad at me?

No, Ceci. Why would you say that?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

-I promise it won't happen again. -OK.

Now get some rest.

Help!

No, no, no!

Careful.

Get up! Hug!

Dog pile!

Why did you leave?

I don't know.

-Do you like my sea lion? -Yeah, I really like it.

-Careful, Ale! -Stop bothering.

-The fountain's so pretty. Isn't it? -Yeah.

Belu, let me see.

Good job.

-I made a ton. -I didn't make any this time.

What if I throw her in?

No, Dad, don't.

No, Dad.

Should I throw her in? Should I?

Do you still love me?

Lola.

Put me down. We're in public.

Get Dad!

No. Whoever tickles me goes into the water.

Ceci, it's a lot!

Bubbles, bubbles.

Go and see how Belén's sleeping.

She's hugging her sea lion.

I can't now. I want to finish this.

Tomorrow when we go, be sure the kids have everything,

and Ale has his inhaler.

I'll go down early to pay at the front desk.

OK.

Remember how she fell in love with that rabbit

that shit all over the house?

What's going on?

Why did you buy Ale the board?

You know I didn't agree to that.

Because he's a teenager.

You keep treating him like a little kid.

Yeah, but that's not the only reason. You know that Santi copies him.

They don't follow rules.

They play and don't see the danger.

-That's how accidents happen. -See how you always exaggerate?

I'm not gonna send them into the water alone.

First I'll teach them how to use it.

And you know I could never hurt our kids.

Ricardo, don't start.

And don't you ever press me in front of the kids again.

What are you talking about?

You know what I'm talking about.

Who wants some?

No!

We've been here before.

It must be the other way.

No, Lola, we're somewhere new.

Can't you tell, the sea's over there?

But there must be people that way. Why don't we stop and ask?

Come on, Ricardo. Stop and ask, if you don't know where to go.

Lola, I know where I'm going.

But we've been circling for three hours. We'll get there so late.

Mom, Belén brought a ton of bugs. She's making a mess.

-They're not bugs. They're snails. -You're such a snitch.

Why'd you bring them? I'll have to clean up.

I let her bring them.

It's no big deal.

She'll clean up and put them away. Right, honey?

Your clothes are filthy.

Put them here. Close it so the smell doesn't get out.
