I don't know, guys. I kind of liked the idea on paper, but...
I'm not sure.
What do you think?
Maybe after another edit--
Sorry, but the video looks a bit passé.
I don't think that another edit is going to fix it.
People, people. Aries is the first album I'm producing.
The video for the first single has to be at the same level.
Yes, of course, obviously.
We've worked with this director--
How many times, Hugo? Three?
Four. He's never let us down.
I don't doubt it. But look at what's new on MTV.
On Telehit.
Videos aren't about telling stories anymore.
They're all about transmitting the essence of the album.
And what's that?
It's you, Micky.
I agree with you.
If we want Aries to work,
I think we're gonna have to make a new video.
You know how I feel.
Yes, but Kiko has the album ready now. That's not enough time.
In addition to the money we've spent.
I don't need to remind you this is the most expensive album we've produced.
-It'll be the best selling one.
Good one.
I'd rather get something out soon, even if it's this video,
then forget about the competition.
Luis Miguel has no competition.
-That's the truth there. Hugo.
Actually...
Give me a few days
and I'll produce the new version of the video.
-You mean it? Of course.
No offense, Patricio, but have you ever produced a video?
What's important is the approval of Micky.
I say why not?
Come on. Let's do it.
-Two weeks. -And five cents.
Hey, don't start.
Let's go. Let's do it, guys.
Aah!
MEXICO CITY, 1993
I don't know how anyone tries to compare Pinot Noir from Burgundy
to one from California.
I like the ones from Sonoma myself.
Meh.
Maybe two or three, max.
But this is superior.
Mmm.
So, Miguel,
what do you think?
You know I've always wanted to have my very own vineyard.
It's not an easy business.
You're right. But it's a business I like.
That's what's important.
That's fine,
but first, we're gonna have to check your finances,
as well as your company's
so you don't go through the same shit you went through with Robles.
Tell me what needs to be done,
and it's done.
Don't worry.
I'll set you up with someone that I trust.
I can't, Ale. I can't leave her with anyone.
Your mama.
Obviously, I asked her. She's busy.
So is my grandma.
Busy with what?
Play she's in, They're Driving Me Crazy.
Hmm.
Oh, speaking of crazy...
Apparently, Micky and Paola Montero broke up.
Ugh.
Why don't you leave her with him?
What? He's her papa, right?
No way.
After the birthday fiasco, he's been asking to see her non-stop.
Oh, come on!
If Luis Miguel wants you to forgive him,
go to the party and make him take charge already.
Plus you know the party is gonna be crazy.
You'll love it.
Doc.
Is Sergio ready?
Yeah, he ate, he showered, and now he's packing.
-Okay, but we're in a hurry.
-Sergio. Hello?
I don't want you to miss the plane!
Who's calling? Just a minute.
-Okay. Micky.
It's Sophie.
Hey, Sophie, you all right?
Yes, I'm... all right. I'm sending Sergio off to camp right now.
What's up?
Yeah, yeah. Uh--
Okay, is this afternoon good for you?
And your house is fine?
Okay. See you there, perfect.
Okay, bye.
Listen, all right?
Doc will be in Madrid if you need anything.
Okay?
You be bad. Talk to the prettiest women.
Where's my kiss?
Bye.
Hey.
-Careful with Tito and Matilde. -Yeah, don't worry, Micky.
-Hey, I'll miss you, Sergio. Me too.
And out of the fog,
we see a white horse
that represents Micky's personality.
Eh?
Okay?
-Incredible, right? -Incredible.
[René] Look.
All of that sounds great. I like it, okay?
I'm worried about the budget.
Our current budget won't allow for this kind of video.
For example, the horse element...
Why do we have a horse?
That was proposed by Gustavo.
-Gustavo Garzón? Yes.
He's a movie director, Patricio.
He won't do a video with Micky for pennies.
That's who I wanna have.
I don't wanna have a... a director who makes these video clips.
Exactly right.
Storytelling isn't what we're doing. We're making a statement.
Okay, then we'll do it your way, Micky.
But you gotta stay within the budget.
The director knows exactly how much we can spend.
Thoughts, Hugo?
If you like it, then I like it.
All right.
Gustavo's going to film his movie next week
so we have to do it this weekend
-or in two more months. -No, no, no.
It's this weekend, not after.
-This weekend. Has to be. -Perfect.
I don't understand. She says she wants to stay in Mexico.
I offer her a house, and she gets mad at me.
I mean, I might be wrong about this...
-maybe she doesn't want a house, Micky. -What, then?
-Remember my father? -Of course.
At 18, he gave me a fucking sports car.
When I was 20, he bought me an apartment.
Know what I remember most?
When we played soccer together.
But weren't you terrible?
Well, yeah. Couldn't score a goal to save my life.
That's why I loved it so much when he took me.
Because, even though he knew his son'd never play professionally,
he was always there.
You don't have to give anything to Michelle.
You just gotta be there.
Michelle, where are your goggles?
This weekend?
I tried many other options before asking for help.
No, no, no... I get it. I'm her dad.
-You need me. -No, no.
-You were the last option on the list. -Hah!
Oh, thank you.
You'll still be mad at me about the party when we're 80.
Isn't that right?
You didn't see how upset she was. She asked me about you 30 different times.
I won't make that mistake again. I promise.
No, you won't.
If you do, you won't ever see her again.
Okay, Micky? I swear.
Michelle, your taxi's here. -I know, Ice.
Come on! -Mom, where's my iPod?
I don't know. Where's your head? -Found it.
You'll be late. -It's right here.
And my bag?
Oh.
Thank you! Thank you!
Yeah? Go on, or you won't make it.
-Be careful, sweetie. -Yeah, okay.
-Take care of the plants. Don't forget. -Yes, go ahead.
-The jasmine especially. -I'll take care of everything.
-Be careful. -Okay.
-I love you. -Yes. Love you too.
Ice, where's the taxi?
-Uh, it was just here. -Where?
Oh, no.
What happened to your taxi?
You're gonna miss your flight.
Well, uh...
...want some music?
Less Britney Spears,
-maybe Al Jarreau, a little R&B-- -You didn't have to come and get me.
You won't answer my calls. Didn't have another option.
If I don't answer, it's because I don't wanna talk.
Yeah?
Well, we've got one hour to talk,
-if that's what you want.
Not saying, just saying.
Yeah, yeah, man. It's harder for me, trust me.
But we had some good shows. Thank you.
No, no, no. No, Micky's perfect. No.
We had some problems here and there and he's a bit tired.
You have my word. he'll play your stadium next year. Really.
Nothin'. It's nothin'.
Yeah, don't worry.
Next week, I'll pay the cancellation fee.
It's done.
We'll talk. Best to the family.
Okay. Bye bye.
The last stop on the tour, the office of our general director.
How are you? I wasn't expecting you.
I wanna introduce you to Azucena.
-Good evening. -Mauricio, hello.
José Pérez, I'm the tour manager.
-Nice to meet you. -Pleasure.
I'm here regarding the pending purchase.
Of what?
Of the vineyard.
I was under the impression the vineyard was a long-term plan.
-Talk to Micky. Mm-hm.
Meanwhile, help Azucena with whatever she needs.
I have a dinner. Excuse me.
-Good night. We'll talk later.
Anything else?
How about I show you the conference room?
You can check it out and start up tomorrow.
Perfect. -Okay, this way, please.
-Down the stairs and to the right. -Excuse me.
They just sent us a mole, man.
Please. This way.
And this is my brother Alejandro's room,
but he's not here, so you can stay here.
-You have a TV, or-- -Is this your girlfriend?
No, she's a model.
-Look, here-- -Do you live alone?
No, no, no, leave that.
No, I live here with my brother Sergio.
Where is he?
He's at a camp in Spain.
Hmm.
Is this where you record your songs?
No, no, no-- No, no--
Don't touch that. Michelle, it's really hot.
No, I record them in a recording studio.
My Aunt Alejandra says that all your songs sound the same.
Yeah?
You can tell your Aunt Alejandra she's--
-What? -Uh...
Tell her what?
Nothing, nothing.
-Whose is this? -Where you going? Michelle--
That's Sergio's room.
I wanna sleep here.
-You said that he's away at camp, right?
Whatever you want, okay? I have to go to work.
-I'll see you later. -At the studio?
-No, to film a video. -Let's go.
Oh, no, no, no, it's really boring.
Super boring. You should stay here with Magda.
You can watch all the TV you want.
But my mama always takes me to work.
You promise to behave yourself?
Do you promise to buy me an ice cream cone?
Can you cover the circles under my eyes?
Hugo.
-Hugo. -Yeah?
Where do I put the mirror?
Has to stay with Micky.
He likes to look at himself while he's recording.
For the whole shoot?
For the whole shoot, José. The whole shoot.
Get with it, would you? Come on.
There wasn't a lighter one?
-Micky. Remember what we talked about.
Oh, what a pretty girl!
Hey, look at this. This is Hugo.
-What do you do? -I work with your papa.
Didn't he tell you? How ungrateful of him.
You see the guys over there with the juices?
Ask him if he has a doughnut.
That guy, right there.
Hey, see if you can get her some candy.
Michelle.
Don't disappear, okay?
Stay here.
-One of those. Divine.
Were you able find someone to watch her?
Yes, a girl from the production will be with her over there.
She'll be with her the whole time.
-Incredible, thank you. -Yeah.
Don't worry. Hey, Mickey, uh, actually...
Forgive me, but do you think
it's really a good idea?
We'll be here two days filming.
Having the girl here, I don't know.
She'll get bored.
What's a bored small child supposed to do on set?
Hugo, at her age, I was on set, in cabarets, and it was always incredible.
It's gonna be okay.
With Luis, incredible?
-Well, maybe it wasn't incredible.
-Uh-huh. -Kid'll be fine. One day on set.
Tomorrow she'll stay home.
-Okay, okay. -Oh, by the way...
The media has no idea we're here,
so the last thing I want is for something to get out.
No, it won't. No one even knows where we're filming.
Don't worry.
-Hey, you okay? -Yeah, yeah.
Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah. My throat's a little sore, but I'm all right, really.
I'm fine, just fine.
Why don't you go home and lay down?
No, no, no, we have a bunch of stuff to do here today. Relax. I'm fine.
-Thanks. -If you're still worried, don't worry.
It's gonna be fine.
What the hell is this?
How old is this thing?
-What is this, chocolate? -Nope. Don't touch it.
Just leave it.
Oh, wow.
Oh, honey, you put that over your eyelashes to make them curly.
-Hello, I'm Gaby, I'm here for Michelle. -Ready.
Okay, here she is.
-Hello, Michelle. -Hi.
You be good. Take care of her.
-Don't worry. -Can you put makeup on me?
-Yes, of course. -You want sparkles?
-Yes. -What should we do?
-She'll be beautiful. -Uh, lemme see.
-You will. -You want curly eyelashes?
-Yes. -So you can have eyes like a princess?
Damn!
-That's not good. -What?
-Nothing, I don't think we'll make it. -Really?
Relax. If there's a problem, you can just take my jet.
No thanks.
Oh, yeah, did I tell you I'm gonna buy a vineyard?
But, you know, I don't have a name yet, for the wine.
It's in Chile. Have you been there? The place is so...
Phew!
Hey, I could really use some help with the name.
It'd be fun. Come on.
Is this really what you wanna talk to me about?
Your vineyard?
I bought it because I can't sing.
Remember how I told you about the accident?
What I didn't tell you is...
the doctors say...
I may never be able to sing like I did.
Are you serious?
-What's that? -Are you--
Yes.
It's true.
What are you gonna do?
Get the horse ready in the background.
All right. We're gonna try one.
-Stand by. Patricio!
-Patricio! Where the hell is Micky?
They said he's here. Relax.
-You kidding? It's been two hours. -I know.
-There's an assistant here. What assistant?
The assistant watching the girl.
Who's gonna pay her?
-What girl? -I'll deal with it.
-The daughter of Luis Miguel. -Daughter?
Where's the stuff Micky asked for? Thirty times I told you!
What do you want me to tell you?
You're the one that--
Micky!
-Welcome. -Hey, we good?
-Perfect. This is Gustavo, the director-- Places, everyone!
-Yeah. -We're ready. Get to work!
-Ready? Let's do it. -How are you?
-Okay, everyone... -How've you been?
We told Bosco he shouldn't go up.
All of us, but he took off his shoes and started climbing
higher and higher to the top.
And boom!
It was, like, a hundred feet, I swear.
A hundred, really? What happened?
They said his arm broke, but it didn't seem like it was.
Are you having a good time?
-Super-good. -Super-good?
You know, Doc?
You really don't have to come visit me every other day.
I'm fine.
Okay, that's good.
Sergio, let's play!
See you later, Doc.
[Garzón] Micky, hug her.
Corina, feel the smell.
The smell of his hair.
Feel his jaw.
Yes, go on.
You both want each other...
but you can't have each other.
Yeah. Look down at him.
Embrace him.
Good. Corina.
You're blind, but you can see him.
Micky, put your head on her shoulder.
Would you give me a second?
Just keep rolling, guys.
-What's up? -Michelle wants ice cream.
-So get her some. -She's getting bored.
Wouldn't taking her home be better?
-Then have the driver take you. -Should I tell her, or you?
-I'll be home in two hours. -Okay.
Okay, back to one, everybody.
That's dirty.
-Sorry. Here we go!
Action!
You're it!
You're really fast, but I'll get you!
Now you're it.
Hey, don't you look good.
Hi, papa.
Um, wow.
She insisted, so...
Good night, Gaby, get some rest.
-Bye. -Goodbye. Where's my ice cream?
Tomorrow. It's getting late.
Will you read me a story?
You're six years old and you still get read bedtime stories?
My mama always reads to me before bed.
Okay, well, let's go.
Yeah! I'll brush my teeth and put on my pajamas!
Super!
Okay, fine, McCluskey, I understand, but what I'm saying is--
No, listen to me. Listen to me.
What's Garzón want now, some rain?
Inside the studio?
Mmm.
All right.
Yeah, we'll have to fight it now, so yeah.
Listen to me...
Tomorrow I'll try to come by then.
Right, I promise you.
Tomorrow I'm there.
Okay, bye-bye.
You said you weren't feeling all right. You're going there tomorrow?
Yeah, I'm sorry, honey, but I have to go.
I hope Micky appreciates everything you do.
Yeah, okay.
What story you wanna hear?
Stories for sleeping? The Great Polar Bear?
This one.
Uh-- Where was that?
Right here.
Here?
Yeah, it was under the bed, in a little box.
Is it yours?
It is.
My mama read it to me when I was a kid.
Your mama?
My grandma?
Yes.
She's your grandma.
It's in Italian, do you mind?
THE ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO FOR YOU, MY SUN, MARCELA
"And so it happened that Maestro Ciliegia,
a carpenter, found a piece of wood
that was crying and laughing
like a child."
"Once upon a time...
"'There was a king!'"
"...my little readers will immediately say."
[Luis, in Spanish] Okay.
I'm going to work now.
-Mwah! See you later. -I'm coming.
No, no, Michelle.
We talked about this.
But I went yesterday.
Well, yesterday yes, but today no.
No. Can I please?
Don't you wanna stay here? It's Sunday.
No. Plus, you owe me an ice cream.
Excuse me, please.
Come on, we're gonna be late.
Come in!
Uh, my fault.
She's at the makeup trailer, I dropped her off there.
-Thanks. -Hey.
Gustavo's crazy, Patricio, we can't hire more models.
What the director wants.
Your job is to say no.
We aren't halfway through the shoot, you used all the money.
Speak to René. What do you want me to say?
You won't spend any more money!
How can I guarantee that? There's a horse!
You're the producer. You better tow the line, understand?
-And we still need the rain. -Fucking shit!
-What is it? -We have a problem.
-Uh... -What?
I have...
-What? -What?
What?
We have a problem.
Yeah, I'll be right out.
It's Michelle, we can't find her.
Fuck me.
Yeah, I'm coming. I'm coming.
Michelle!
-Michelle!
Micky. -Yeah?
Security didn't see her leave. She has to be in the studio.
She isn't in the restroom.
-Michelle. -Thank you, Hugo. Thank you.
Oh, thank you.
Where were you? I said to stay with the makeup artist.
-Yes. -Didn't I?
Now you stay here until I'm finished.
Hear me? Here, don't move, okay?
I went over to your trailer, but you weren't there.
-Stay here. -How much longer?
I dunno, a long time. Tell me you understand.
I understand.
-Tell me you understand. -Yes, I understand.
Listen, calm down, calm down, Micky.
I just found her in the street.
Isn't this your first weekend you're watching her?
This how you want her to remember it?
Hugo, I love you, but don't tell me how to raise my daughter.
Okay, let's go!
[Garzón] Okay, Micky. From "Oh, I realized I loved you."
Roll sound.
Your papa was worried, huh?
He loves you.
All right, let's watch this now.
Okay.
Can I have one?
-Yeah. Yeah. -Are they good?
You were a handful.
You have to remember.
-No, you have to remember. -I swear I don't.
You went missing. Production team was scared to death.
-It was our first weekend together. -What were you doing?
Sly, how much longer?
Ten minutes, boss.
All right? And you were all hysterical.
I'll be pissed if I miss that flight.
But you don't have to go.
-You could stay. -Yeah.
Right.
You'll buy me a house, right?
No.
You could live with me.
Which terminal?
I wanted to do this the right way.
Let's talk to your mother.
But please, stay.
Why 11 years?
What do you mean?
Why didn't you see me for 11 years?
You know how much time I spent thinking it was all my fault?
That I did something.
Or said something.
When someone abandons you, it's for a reason.
Those days were difficult, complicated.
But there had to have been a reason. Why?
I need to talk about this.
I don't know.
I wanted...
to protect you.
From me.
I swear, I really would like to know why...
I always hurt the ones who love me.

-[Garzón] Cut. Perfect, Micky. One more? -No.
-[Garzón] Why not? -Should we go?
What do you mean no, Micky?
If you don't like something, we'll change it.
-Make something out of what you have. -We can't.
I'm sorry, we still have another full day of filming.
Michelle and I
are going to get some ice cream.
Yes! Your favorite flavor?
Grape.
Cheer up, Patricio.
What now?
Nothing.
Gustavo's going to Miami.
All we can do is delay the album.
We'll cut together a new video with what we shot today
and what we had before.
In the future, let the producers produce.
These Argentinians are on my last nerve.
Here, have a smoke.
No?
Who are you?
What? Who am I?
I'm Hugo's driver, you've seen me around.
I thought you were Argentinian.
I'm not Argentinian.
-Uruguayan. -Hmm.
McCluskey must be pleased.
Why?
He never wanted to do your video.
Mirror on the move.
-You want cheese? -No. Thanks a lot, sweetie, but--
I'm not hungry.
All right, but you were telling me you haven't eaten all day.
I'm just not hungry right now.
How about this, then?
You go take a shower.
I'll put this back in the oven, and we'll have dinner after.
Hugo?
Hugo, my love!
My love?
Hugo?
Papa, you messed up.
You're eating ice cream out of a bowl.
-Yeah, but it's really good. -No.
Ice cream should only ever be eaten in a cone, on a cookie, or a brownie.
Not a bowl.
-Want any?
-What is it? -Grape Chiclets.
Mmm!
-Delicious! Mommy!
My love!
Go get your backpack, it's late.
Incredible.
When were you gonna tell me you left her here alone?
They didn't say I called?
Amazing.
She was here two hours, max. Then she went to the shoot.
The shoot?
Michelle said you bring her to work all the time.
Why didn't you tell me that? That you had to work?
Because... I thought it would be easier.
Nothing's easy with children.
But I left the shoot early. It was a few hours. Everything's fine.
I asked you to take care of her.
Hey! I'll get you back, Michelle. Just watch.
-Oh, yeah. -What?
-I have a present. -What is it?
"Once upon a time..." -"There was a king."
"My little readers will immediately say."
"But no, you are mistaken."
"Mistaken."
Good job!
All right.
-Take care of this for me. -'Kay.
So, then, can she come over next week?
On Wednesday.
Yay!
-At three sharp. -Yeah.
It was so cool, Mommy, I had such a good day.
I learned Italian with this story...
[Michelle, in Italian] "Once upon a time..."
"'There was a king.'"
"My little readers will immediately say."
"But no, children."
"You are mistaken."
Where should I put my stuff?
Mr. Gallego approves all expenses?
That's right.
Nothing here's done without the express authorization of Luis Miguel.
A couple things I don't get.
Tell me, what things?
Last year, I imagine because of the accident,
you held fewer concerts than since Patricio Robles was running things.
Mm-hm.
But the amount you and José received was higher than the previous year.
Because the year before, we were only paid half the tour dates of México en la Piel.
Perfect. Where can I check that? With you or José?
What is this? An audit?
I need to understand how the company operates.
Yeah?
To buy a vineyard?
Mauricio.
Give me the tour information.
Of course.
-I'll get right on it. Immediately. -Thank you.
Not bad, huh? I think it's coming along.
It's coming along. Amazing. Giving me chills.
-Micky, listen. Can we talk a second? Excuse me.
Your daughter's here with her belongings.
Great. Bring them up, would you?
Uh... What were you saying?
I was saying I don't get why I have to learn from Azucena
and not from you that you wanna start producing this wine.
What's going on here?
Mauricio, we can't sit still until I can sing again.
We have to be able to cut costs and review finances.
Exactly, so ask me for help. That's what I'm here for. To help you out.
Or is it a matter of you trusting me?
You sure do love drama, don't you?
-You should've been an actress. -No, it's not drama.
If you don't trust me, I can pack up my things and go.
Could you, please?
Think someone else'd put up with this shit?
Okay, I get it.
Anything more to say?
-I have to keep warming up. -Why?
You won't let me stay to watch this spectacle of nature?
Maybe not.
You're fired!
Yeah?
-Son of a bitch.
You have no idea how much I wanted to hear that.
Bye.
It's obvious you're around.
He's happy.
Someone told me to give my father a second chance.
-Mmm. Must've been a real fool.
-Were you guys fighting? -No. We're good.
I'm glad for you.
For both of you.
Love this album.
-I know, right? -Mm-hm. Girl has good taste.
What do you think?
It's great.
We got the album this week, when we listened,
It was amazing, Hugo.
Yes, I'm really pleased with it.
What did they tell you?
Yesterday they gave me the test results.
The cancer is back.
But...
could you have another operation?
It metastasized.
I have to talk to Micky.
This'll destroy him.
It's been so long since I've had one of these.
I was getting kinda sick of pizza and tacos.
Tomorrow I'll get you more.
Hey, how's Alex?
He had a fight with Micky and left.
Really?
So, the two of you are there alone?
Well, I almost never get to see Micky because of the new album.
It's been a long time since my mom wrote to me.
She'll write again.
What I don't like is you being alone so much.
Yeah, it'd be great if Micky didn't have to work all the time.
Don't worry, sweetheart.
I'm going to be closer,
I promise.
Much closer.
What do you think?
-Sensational.
Amazing.
Well, now I hope the video's all right.
It'll be fine, the video will be fine.
It was definitely a nightmare, but it'll be fine.
Seeing you with Michelle there was priceless.
Well, I'm pretty sure it had a price, but we'll have to ask René.
-It was five-cent garbage. -Five cents.
No, it's amazing. Amazing
You know what? I swear I hadn't planned on spending all weekend with Michelle.
But now, I'm thinking of taking her on a trip to New York, to visit Érika.
Imagine what Érika will think when she sees us together.
She's gonna die.
I have never seen you like this, Micky.
How are you doing?
Why?
What do you mean why?
I mean, you look...
pale...
emaciated.
You wanted to talk about something before.
Is everything okay?
