-You don't love it. -No. I don't like it.
If it's a girl,
what would you like?
For her to have your freckles.
Okay, I promise.
And your eyes.
And your beard.
Perfect.
L

Lia
It's pretty.
A bit hipster, don't you think?
Yes.
There's one name that I love...
A
Az
Azu
Azuc
Azuce
Azucen
Azucena
An old lady's name, I know.
It's so tacky.
Impossible to pronounce.
No, scrap that one.
(Barking)
Luka.
-I'll go.
The gynaecologist said you have to rest.
Let's not start that...
Azucena.
Are they ready? Shall we take them?
-Are they the last ones? -No. I'll check and let you know.
-I'm sure there are some missing. -Okay.
Thirty flowerpots left.
Sorry. Thirty flowerpots and twenty cups.
You have time, right?
They already called three times this morning.
-Ramiro, you still have lots to do. -I said I don't have time.
Tell Angela to help you when she's done, do the flowerpots tomorrow.
Yes, ma'am.
Take a guess.
Three more and I'm all yours.
Thanks.
-A toast for the baby. -Yes, the baby!
Congratulations!
I can't wait to see the baby,
know if it's a boy or a girl.
It's so exciting!
-I can't wait. -It'll be a surprise.
It's about time, right?
Who's watching your little one?
-His parents. -My parents, we need to unwind.
Let's see if Juan knows...
What's the sign for that deaf poet? I can't remember.
Adrian?
Luc, they ran into Adrian in Galicia.
-Who? -The poet.
Do you remember?
-The friend. -Yes, a terrible poet.
He married his publisher a while ago.
-Really? -A deaf or hearing person?
Hearing.
Of course. That way he has a helper.
Hey!
I'm here, you know?
Exactly, to help her.
You're terrible!
Were you born deaf?
No, hearing.
Is the cause of her deafness known?
Do you know the cause?
No, it was never known.
-Are her parents deaf? -You can speak to her.
-Sorry. -She'll read your lips.
Are your parents deaf?
No, hearing.
Hearing. Okay.
Is anybody else in your family deaf?
-In my family? -Family.
My paternal grandmother
and one aunt.
Okay.
So it could be congenital.
With the information you've given me,
it's possible that the baby will be deaf.
It's possible that the baby will be deaf.
Can they do any tests?
Are there any tests to find out...?
We won't know until after the birth.
There are no tests.
What are the probabilities either way?
The chances are fifty-fifty.
My advice would be to consider both options.
It could be deaf or hearing.
Want to taste it?
Too spicy?
No...
It's yummy.
-Hey... -What is it?
Let's not tell them today, okay?
Whatever you want.
Shall I let them in?
-Morning! -Hi!
-How are you? -Great!
It's so lovely and cool here, isn't it?
Are you hungry?
-What did you bring? -Dessert, what else?
I've done a mixture of Italian-Indian food,
- hope you like it. -Let's see.
-It's delicious. -Yes, isn't it?
Carmen made it the other day
and seeing as Hector likes it...
I'll give him the recipe because I know you won't make it.
Fede!
-Don't you want some cake? -Yes, one minute.
He's boring the socks off him.
Your dad is so annoying.
-Annoying. -Yes, annoying.
What?
You look really well.
Better than ever.
Why?
[ Don't know.
You look calm.
You see me with Héctor and it puts your mind at ease.
A hearing person, at last.
Elvira, I was telling Fede
that you'll have to help us with the figs.
-Don't put me to work. -No, eating them.
-Fine by me. -While they're fresh.
-We'll have kilos. -See what you think.
-It looks so good. -Fresh.
I found it the other day. Can you use it?
Definitely.
Do you like it?
-I love it. -Really?
Angela!
I love it.
She made it for you.
Her favourite son-in-law.
-Because you're my only one. -Well...
Time to give them a grandchild.
You're fine the way you are.
-Why? -You don't need that.
What is it?
I'm pregnant.
Really? And was it planned?
-Dad! -I don't know, love.
We didn't expect it at your age.
Is anybody going to congratulate me, or what?
Yes, yes, yes. Of course.
-But... -Congratulations, granny.
What a surprise...
-Come here, Daddy. -Well!
Cool grandpa, eh?
So, and...
-When's it due? -October.
Have they done any tests?
Yes.
Is the baby okay?
And do they know...?
We won't know until after the birth.
-Shall I get some cider for a toast? -Yes.
Do you want a tea?
Irene needs you to sign something for your maternity leave.
Okay. I go when I'm done.
No, no. You need to go now.
[ Don't know.
-Surprise! -Surprise!
Fright. Surprise.
-Didn't you look it up online? -Yes.
-Good job, then... -Fine, I guess I didn't...
Here. From the three of us.
Well, more from me because I made it.
-It's so ugly! -It's revolting!
Look, it was a good idea
-but it got a bit complicated. -I love it!
The poor baby will have nightmares.
Listen. It wasn't a piece of cake.
I mean... Look at that hand.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Yes, at least you made something. It's great, Ramiro.
-You worked hard. -You should've done it yourself.
That's fine for you to eat.
(Strimmer engine sound)
HEARING PROPERLY IMPROVES YOUR LIFE
According to what you said...
Yes, hang on.
-One minute. -Angela.
-It's here. -It has a graphic audio indicator
with five levels and good range.
Lit?
-What? -Does it have a light?
Ah. Eh...
-No. It's too expensive. Another one. -Angela...
We said it's a present from us.
No, no. Another one.
If you have one, can we see another model, please?
Mum, I'm talking, okay?
Yes, love. Yes.
We have to say about the hearing aids.
-You do it, she'll bite my head off. -She won't want them.
Why don't we look for some hearing aids for you, love?
-Yours don't work anymore. -None of them work for me.
-Maybe there are new models. -No, no.
Look, Angela.
You'll need all the help you can get with the baby.
No, I'm not wearing hearing aids again.
All mothers need help, you more than any of them.
Elvira...
But...
This has a light and full coverage inside the house.
-Vibate? -Excuse me?
I'm asking if it vibrates.
And if you're serving deaf people, you should learn sign language.
I don't understand her.
Buy whichever you want.
(Song playing)
My boy, my boy, you've got something That nobody else has
When you look at my mouth...
What's she saying?
You came to the window
At the end of the day
There was a light shining In your chest
Your chest looked so beautiful A white moon
Don't cover it Your shirt only gets in the way
This wound condemns me Without any rest
Deep kiss and deep death It's written all over your face
From five months, they grow quickly.
And also...
for the bath.
-It's so easy. -Yes, it is.
-Up to what age? -A year and a half.
Perfect.
...it depends, you can take it off if it's hot.
Look.
She had a massive belly, you could see the kicks.
Remember?
I wanted to give birth standing, but they didn't understand me.
She wanted to be standing, to move around
so it would hurt less, but they wouldn't let us.
Didn't you complain?
You're not afraid to say what you think.
Don't worry about the pain
you forget it afterwards. You fall in love when you see them.
No way.
I'll never forget seeing her suffering in labour
and she was still in pain after.
He was premature, I had a really hard time.
What do your parents think?
I should wear hearing aids.
But I can't stand them.
-Your parents or the hearing aids? -Both.
-Just ignore them. -Yes, I do.
They don't work for me.
-1 like them. -l haven't worn mine for years.
Can I have your phone?
-Just for a while... -Go and play with Ana.
-They're too young. -It's not allowed when we're out.
-Then give me... -Sign!
I'm bored.
He doesn't even want to leave his room.
He's fine at school, with his friends,
but he doesn't even want to go out with us.
He's embarrassed they'll see us signing.
What a beautiful castle! It's so big!
Yes, we made it big.
What are you doing?
-Is that El Deafo? -Yes.
Do you like to draw?
-He's not listening. -Yes.
-He likes it? -Yes.
-And you? -I do too.
What are you playing?
Jigsaws. I'm starting a new one.
What a cool shape. Is that a cat?
-A tiger. -Ah, a tiger. How dangerous.
-I'm being careful. -Does it scare you?
Of course.
-I think it's a cat. -No, a tiger.
A cat, a tiger... She says it's a tiger.
-A tiger. -Not a tiger, it's a cat.
A tiger with stripes like your shirt.
What a coincidence!
-I say it's a tiger. -It could be... It's up to you.
How are you? Okay?
Want a glass of water?
What do you want to eat?
Shall I make you an omelette?
A salad?
I don't fancy anything.
You might not eat for hours.
You should eat something.
Come on, sit down. Sit down.
The phone.
Hi, Elvira.
Yes, we're still at home.
No, no. They're not close together yet.
[ Think it's time.
I'm going to have it here.
What if I don't understand something?
I'll be with you the whole time.
-And if I do something wrong? -Angela. Angela.
Shall we go?
I'll work behind here.
Tell her to curve her back like a cat.
If she gets a contraction, let me know and ['ll stop.
Tell her to raise her head.
-Raise your head. -Just try.
I'm going to get ready.
You're doing fine.
Angela, hold out your arm, I'm taking your blood pressure.
Tell her it's for her blood pressure.
And lower it.
Where's the other one? I don't understand this one.
They've changed shifts.
It's for your pulse...
on your finger.
I'm attaching a drip. Remember not to bend your arm.
-Otherwise it will fall out. -Remember.
Okay, tell her to get ready and keep still.
We're starting, okay?
Keep still.
Head down.
I'm applying some local anaesthesia.
Tell her it will sting a little, okay?
Tell me if she has a contraction, but she mustn't move.
-Don't move at all. Keep still. -Keep still.
Hang on, keep still.
She might get cramp in one of her legs.
If she does, she mustn't move.
Okay? She mustn't move.
(Screams in pain)
Hang on, Angela.
Hang on, don't move. Stay still.
Okay, head up. All done.
Head up. All done!
All done!
-You did really well. -You'll feel some relief now.
-Keep going, keep going, keep going. -Push hard.
-A little harder! -A little more!
Great, great!
Deep breath. The contraction has passed.
-Well done, Angela. -Don't worry.
Tell her she's doing really well. Let's wait for the next one.
It really hurts.
She says it hurts.
Do you feel pressure? Ask her.
-Do you feel pressure? -Yes.
It's the baby's head. The epidural doesn't take it away.
-There's another contraction coming! -Ready?
Let's push. Tell her to push.
Push.
-Come on, Angela. Push. -Hard, hard, hard.
Great, great, great!
Like that, great.
-More. That's right. -A little more!
-That's it. -Keep going.
-Okay. Come on. -Take a deep breath.
That's it. Take a deep breath.
Great, like that.
Let's wait for the next one.
Good. Gather your strength.
Here comes another.
Come on, Angela. Take a deep breath and push!
That's it. Hard, hard, hard.
-Hard, hard, hard. -The monitor.
-Shall I get them? -Yes, quickly.
-What is it? -Stop pushing, I'll explain.
-Stop pushing. -What is it?
Breathe. Hang on.
Help me turn her onto her left side.
-That's right. -Breathe. Breathe slowly.
The baby's tired. We're getting the gynaecologist.
She needs to stay like this, to try to recover.
What's happening?
They're getting the gynaecologist.
-Why? -To help.
-What's the situation? -Bradycardia.
She's here.
-How long? -Three and a half hours.
Bradycardia on the monitor. Let's go.
Angela, lie facing upwards. I'll take a look.
What are they saying?
She's going to check you.
-Can she lip read? -Yes, but she's tired.
-Héctor, her partner. -I'm the gynaecologist. I'll help.
I need you to tell her to push.
Angela, push!
Angela, push, push!
Go on! Keep going, keep going, keep going!
-Keep going, keep going! -More, more!
-Come on, come on! -More. Keep going!
-Well done, Angela! -Breathe, breathe.
Great, great.
-Does she have a contraction? -No.
No. Okay.
It's coming now.
Tell her to push hard.
Angela, push!
-More, more! Keep going! -Push hard!
A little more, a little more!
-More! -Well done, Angela!
-She's not moving it. Get the paediatrician.
-Héctor, wait there. -No, she needs to see me.
-You'll be right behind her. - I need to interpret.
-I can't leave. -Just one second.
I'm going to help her,
but I need you to move for the suction cup.
Just behind there. You'll see everything.
I'm not going.
I'm there. With you.
I'll be watching you.
It has to be now.
Okay, perfect.
Breathe, breathe.
Get him back!
Get the paediatrician.
Another contraction. Applying instruments.
-Is she full-term? -Yes.
-I'll get the cot. -Okay.
-I'm going to use a suction cup. -Okay.
-What are you saying? -If not, a c-section...
I'll prepare the resuscitation cot.
(They all talk at once)
Angela!
I'm going to help you. I need you to push hard!
-Angela, sweetie. I need you to push! -Calm down!
Angela, Angela!
Angela, look at me! We're going to help you, okay?
Push when we say. Okay.
Come on, sweetie. Let's go.
-She has a contraction. -Angela, push! Hard!
More, more, more, more!
-Harder, harder. Keep going! -More, more!
-Keep going, keep going, keep going! -Yes! Well done!
Angela, calm down. Relax!
-Angela, sweetie. Breathe. -Breathe.
-Take a deep breath. -You're doing great.
-Tell me when a contraction comes. -Not yet.
-Now! There's one coming! -Angela, push!
-If it doesn't come, we'll go... -Hard, hard!
-Hard, hard, hard! -Come on, come on, come on...
Good, good! It's coming!
Angela, breathe. Don't push!
Don't push, it's coming!
-Don't push, it's coming. -It's coming!
(Baby crying)
-You did great! -Yes, it's fine. You can come over.
(Fede) Why don't you eat something before they close the kitchen?
(Elvira) Yes, while we're here.
(Héctor) Okay, I'm starving. Do you want anything?
(Elvira) A bottle of water.
(Héctor) Anything happens, call me. (Fede) Of course.
(Héctor leaves)
(Baby starts to cry)
(Elvira) Pick her up.
No, no.
No, little one.
-Little thing. -That's right.
(Baby cries louder)
What should we do? Should we wake her up?
-No, let her rest. -Okay, but...
There, there.
With your mummy. With your mummy.
Well, the test is inconclusive.
-It doesn't tell us if she can hear. -Why?
Sometimes there's amniotic fluid, from the mother's tummy,
in the ear ducts, and the device can't detect properly.
The test isn't valid, it's not clear.
Because there's amniotic fluid in her ears.
-Is that normal? -It happens. It's quite common.
We'll have to do another test in a few months.
Before you go...
They'll do another test in two months.
-They'll set up the appointment. -Okay, great.
Well... Thanks.
Bye.
We have to wait.
Everything's fine.
Look at her eyelashes.
Eyelashes.
Ona...
I like it.
Ona.
(Clicks his fingers)
Ona, Ona.
Ona.
Do I hear the little lady crying? Let's see.
Who wants to see Granny? Come here, little one.
No, no, no, no.
Don't cry with Granny.
Granny.
I could eat you!
Sweet little thing, don't eat your blanket.
Look who's coming! It's Luci!
Come here.
How are you?
Hi!
How are you?
-Luci, you look so pretty! -Thanks.
Look at her!
Doesn't she look like me?
Two peas in a pod.
Have you seen Luka?
“How are you? -50-50.
I feel like shit. Terrible.
Sit down.
What a pretty girl!
Mummy.
She's so pretty.
We brought a present.
-What? -We brought a present.
For me?
No, for Ona.
It's lovely!
Shall we read it to her together?
-Yes, yes. -Okay.
-Right, I'll go and... -Yes, me too.
-...it moved and tipped over. -...it swayed in the wind.
-He nibbled on it. -The mouse nibbled and nibbled...
I'm looking at nurseries.
This one and this one are the closest to us.
Oh, yes.
By district, this one corresponds to us.
They're public, so they'll take ages to give us a place.
But I can write and ask.
We don't know if she's deaf or hearing yet.
If she's deaf, she won't be able to go there.
She'll have to go to the association.
Yes, of course.
We should wait and see what happens.
Well, the test is normal. Perfect hearing in both ears.
She can hear.
Congratulations. Let her eat, grow and play.
-Thank you so much. -Thanks.
There was once a teeny tiny boat.
-You conduct. -And it couldn't,
...it couldn't, it couldn't sail.
Hooray!
-They're head over heels. -Héctor, take a photo with my phone.
Come on.
-Daddy's taking a photo of us. -Pose.
-Come on, a selfie. -Angela!
Come on, love. He's taking a photo of us.
Please. The whole family.
-Come on. -That's right.
Fede, lean in a little.
-Okay like this? -No, the light's behind us.
The other side. Take the spoon and...
-Come closer, love. Further forward. -Pum, pum.
That's it.
(They all talk at once)
-Now. -Look for the photo.
-One, two, three.
-Ona. -No photos, she's tired.
Is the sun the most powerful being in the world?
No, because the clouds come and cover it rays.
So...
is the cloud the most powerful being in the world?
No.
Because when the wind blows,
the clouds disappear.
So...
Is the wind...?
Is the wind...
...the most powerful being in the world? No.
No way, no matter how...
No matter how... No, I'm here.
No matter how much the wind blows,
it can't move the mountain.
(Ona cries)
Oh my...
I don't know if she's still hungry, I've run out of milk.
What?
What is it?
Oh my...
Come here. What's wrong?
I know. Come on, that's enough.
Sweetie. That's enough.
There, there, there, there.
There, there, there. Yes.
That's it. That's it, that's it, that's it.
You're so upset. I know, okay, okay.
Do you want to go there?
It's so sunny, what a nice breeze.
It feels so good.
Sorry, is this hers?
Hello?
Sorry. How's it going?
My son had this. I think he took it from your pram.
Is it your girl's?
It was in your pram. Where did you get it from?
-He won't tell you. -Hi.
-What's going on?
My son had this. I think...
- think it's from your pram. -It's not ours.
They thought it was Ona's.
-We'll be going. I'm sorry. -No, don't worry.
How are you? How's it going, little Ona-bear?
Did you like the park?
Did you like the park? Yes?
(Ona cries loudly)
Dinner's ready.
You go ahead.
I'll wait for you.
She's out for the count.
We'll start giving her a bottle.
It's fine.
I know it's fine.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Yes. What's wrong?
You don't sign to Ona.
-Yes, I do. -You didn't before.
-When? -In the park.
With the mothers?
Yes.
You didn't interpret for me either.
You just answered for me.
Yes, I answered... [ didn't think.
I was trying to help.
That's no help to me.
If I forget, tell me.
I don't want to have to ask you, you know that.
But it's harder with Ona now.
Of course.
Of course, everything's harder now.
I know.
I know everything's harder now.
I'm sorry.
Do you forgive me?
Look, Granny and Grandpa!
Granny and Grandpa!
Hi!
-Look, Granny and Grandpa! -But, Fede.
-She's so big! -In two days, she'll be walking!
-There's no stopping her. -Look what Grandpa brought you.
-Isn't that lovely. -It's beautiful!
What? On the floor?
-On the floor? -Hi, love.
-Here. -Look at this.
Your mother insisted we bring it for you.
I've almost thrown this box away so many times, but...
Your dad said we should bring it for Ona.
What?
This little dog was my lifesaver.
The doctors told me to keep talking to you.
[ Couldn't. I couldn't.
I couldn't stop thinking that you couldn't hear me.
I just couldn't.
With the dog...
I used it as a puppet, I sang to you...
I did loads of things with it.
When you pushed his heart, he went all red.
It doesn't work now, but...
You used to love it.
Don't you remember?
So cute.
And here...
It was the first summer you went to the beach with Luci.
You must've been around fifteen, right?
You wouldn't take that headband off...
All throughout school, to cover your hearing aids.
Elvira!
-Elvira! -What?
Where did you put the bag with the roots?
Your dad.
It's on the kitchen table, Fede.
Peekaboo. Who's there?
A horse! Neigh!
It's so beautiful! And now, now...
Peekaboo. Who's there?
Lola the cow! What noise do cows make?
Sofia's daddy, the cow goes...?
-The cow goes "mooo”. -Daddy knows it, great!
And now...
-The sheep. -The little sheep!
Raul's mummy, the sheep goes...?
The sheep goes "baaa".
That's great!
And now... Peekaboo. Who's there?
The lion!
Ona's daddy, the lion goes...?
-Roar! -You scared me, Daddy!
And now... Peekaboo. Who's there?
I'll wait outside.
-...her partner and mother went. -Right.
-That's great. -Wonderful.
Hi, we were talking about setting up a WhatsApp group
for mums and dads, in case anyone needs anything.
I'm Rocio, Raul's mum, that boy there. And you?
Yes, yes.
Really? You'd like that? You...?
Shall I put you or your partner? What's your number?
Thanks.
-...the sierra, and the views... -Do they need cutting too?
-Yes, four and then... -All of them!
At last. I couldn't wait. How are you?
-What? -Sorry, I'm out of the habit.
How are you?
-Great. -Really?
Hi, beautiful!
And Ona? She must have grown since we last saw her.
Yes, she's so big.
Bring her in one day.
-Whenever you want. -Want some coffee?
-Is there any left? -Yes, I made loads.
-Have you seen Carlos? -He's in his office.
Don't leave me alone with her again, please.
You know what it's been like...
-Hi! -Look who's here!
Hi. Goodness, she's so big!
(Music from children's book) - I think she liked the book.
By the way, José Luis brought the machines in already...
I told him what I think.
About the plot.
Ah, okay.
When he fumigates, to try to do it when there's no wind.
-Come on. -You've got a nerve, honestly.
We need that vegetable patch back, and soon.
We sure do.
That one's delicious. That one, yummy.
Take whichever you want, they're all delicious.
Every Friday, he brings sweets to the office.
-Take turns speaking, please. -Yes, yes. Sorry.
He brings sweets every Friday.
We stuff ourselves in the office, right?
He brings us sweets on Fridays.
-They're yummy. -What does this mean?
It's sweet. Sweet or pain.
It depends which face you make. What's wrong, sweetie?
These sweets are...
Delicious.
They're delicious!
-Hey! -Look at your face.
-Please. -You laugh, but...
Miral's guy, he's got his head screwed on.
Every September, he sets up an event, makes a sandwich and fills the place.
The patisserie's full for three days.
We could do a vegetable tasting,
-seasonal ones. -A festival. The Veggie Orgy.
-Wow! -That's a good one!
Right? We'll call it The Veggie Orgy...
-Tattoo it on yourself. -I'll get a tattoo.
That might not be the best name for this.
You don't know what she did when you were off work.
-Tell them. Don't exaggerate. -Yes, well.
-Tell them. -The neighbours were getting ready
to fill in the irrigation ditch again.
Suddenly, she sees them, goes out and starts shouting:
"You're a load of this, that and the other!".
-A scene. -Because they're scumbags.
-They pay the fine, end of story. -Of course!
Oh, hi! What's her name?
What's her name?
-Luka. -Luka?
Luka. How does Luka get on with the little one?
-They get on great. -Really?
Isn't she jealous?
Is she jealous.
-She's not jealous at all. -Why didn't you bring Lily?
Bring Lily? No.
-Why? -She's a terror. She'd scare this one.
-Lily's really territorial. -Why don't you have a baby?
-It'd come out like Lily. -What do you mean? Come on!
-A hamster's bigger than her. -He spoils her.
-It's your fault. -What's wrong, sweetie?
'I put her down, she needs to rest.
But they're here, she'll last a little longer.
-She's tired. -Ah.
If she doesn't sleep, tonight will be terrible.
Of course.
Bye bye!
Kisses.
-Bye. -Bye.
-Poor thing. -Yes.
-She's so big, they grow so fast. -She's so big.
What a dad, eh?
Little doggy.
Look, look, look.
Look, where's Luka?
Luka.
What does Luka want?
Let's sing.
Luka.
(Music from children's book) Pinocchio goes fishing in the river.
Purple. Trumpet.
Blue.
Mrs Week has seven children,
five are hard-working and two are really fun.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, happy Saturday and Sunday.
Look how the turtle swims.
And the starfish moves.
Look...
Everything's so beautiful.
Yes, yes.
Thanks, thanks, thanks.
Let's start.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Luci
Happy birthday to you!
Thanks! Kisses, kisses!
Make a wish.
Hooray!
-I love you. -Me too, so much.
How cute, she's asleep.
We're talking about the trip to the beach.
This year there's a room for the three of you.
Thanks, but you know
I love pitching the tent on the veranda.
...trying typical things.
| love that.
About the trip to the beach...
they're going Friday afternoon.
We could go Friday or Saturday.
-When is it? -The last week in September.
That Saturday...
we're going to visit my dad.
For Ona's birthday, remember?
-Has he already organised it? -Yes, of course.
Yippee, yippee!
What a lovely car! It's so cool.
Let her play with the other kids.
She wanted to play with the car.
-Do you want a drink? -No.
-Hey, any plans for tonight? -Party. Let's go dancing.
-Come! -I can't.
She's tired.
Are you tired, sweetie?
I'll finish my beer, then we'll go.
-Come out partying. -Impossible, Ona's tired.
-Come on, you never come out. -I know.
Do what you want.
I'll just have a quick drink, [ won't be late.
Daddy will look after you, okay?
See you later.
You're coming?
Bye.
-Bye. -Yes!
Really? Are you sure?
- I know the place. -Who cares if the drinks are pricey.
Another one.
They're deaf.
Nothing, if it's not free, that is. I'm flat broke.
What are you looking at?
Angela.
What time is it?
(The mobile falls on the floor)
She'll wake up.
It's really late.
Let's go to sleep.
To put away...
Look at that one!
Oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh.
Not this one.
Yes. Not this one. No, no, no.
No, we don't want that one in the box.
Do we want it? We want this one. This one, yes.
Put it in, but... Throw it. Throw it.
Yes. Inside, okay.
Yes! Well, well, well!
Let's see, let's see, let's see.
Let's go to Mummy. Where is she?
Where's Mummy? What games does she have?
Look. Like this.
Mummy. She wants to play with you.
Here, here.
-I'm off. -I'll stay for a while.
Today, too?
We're up to date with the orders.
I'd rather get it done.
You just want to make me work harder.
You sneaky thing.
-Do you need a lift, or is Carlos coming? -I'll come with you.
Okay, let's go.
-Will you close up? -Yes.
-See you tomorrow. -Bye.
Kiss.
A little more.
Well done.
No? You don't want any more?
How was the afternoon?
We went to the park with girls from her class.
Shall I get dinner ready?
It's already done.
Want some water?
Water.
She said "water".
Water?
She vocalised it.
Luka the dog went running to the tree through the mountain.
It was a beautiful sunrise, look.
(Ona cries)
She ran towards the mountain.
What are you doing?
Playing.
Okay, okay, okay...
We were playing.
Can't you see she's crying?
I was going to take them off.
(Héctor talks to Ona in the kitchen)
I'll shower, then help.
It's all ready. Just pack your suitcase.
Come on, Ona, just a little more watermelon.
Come on, just this little piece.
Come on.
Good girl.
Have you seen my charger?
No.
We're going to be really late.
Okay, okay, I'm almost ready.
Ona's asleep.
She'll wake up in the car now.
You could've woken me up.
You could've set an alarm.
Not spent half an hour in the shower.
Okay, okay. I don't want to start the trip like this.
You don't have to come if you don't want to.
What?
Do you want to come, or not?
Why are you asking me that now?
I don't want to argue.
Let's just go.
Look, do you want me to come?
Yes, I want you to come. But I got up two hours ago.
I gave Ona her breakfast, I got everything ready.
And you? Where are you?
You've been getting home late for weeks.
You don't pick up Ona, you find excuses not to be here.
I'm getting used to you not being here.
Why do you want me to be here?
Why do you want me to pick her up from school?
You're there for everything, to talk to them all,
to read her stories,
-to teach her to speak. -What am I supposed to do?
Not do it?
Nothing, nothing. Don't do anything.
Carry on being the perfect dad and enjoy your daughter.
What good am I here...
It's not all about you, Angela.
All about me? I'm outside of everything.
Why do you want me here? You won't give me any space.
What do you mean? I've dedicated myself to you for three years.
I haven't seen anybody. I've made sure you feel comfortable.
I did it because I wanted to, but now Ona's here.
It's not just you and me now.
Of course, everything's changed.
Yes, it's changed. Of course.
Before, it was the deaf girl who made your life magical.
But now...
since Ona came along, what am [?
A nuisance.
-A burden. -What?
What?
Be honest.
You're the one who doesn't want me here.
You don't want me to go
and you're making all of this up so you don't feel bad.
You're twisting everything.
-Sign! -You know what?
You want a deaf partner and a deaf daughter.
But you chose me and I'm a hearing person.
And so is your daughter.
And so is the world.
You think I don't know that?
You remind me every day.
Since Ona arrived, I've disappeared.
Hear yourself? Competing with your own daughter.
I'm not competing!
There's two of us, you choose Ona. I'm not there!
I don't choose. I take care of Ona because you don't!
You take care of Ona because you think I can't!
-Because you don't trust me! -No, that's not true.
Do you know how you look at me?
How I look at you? How?
Like the hearing world always has, as if I'm incapable!
And if Ona sees, she'll copy you and be embarrassed of me too!
I'm not embarrassed of you. Don't say that. Shit!
I've been fighting my whole life for a dignified life and now, again!
I'm not good enough, to look after her or be your partner!
You're playing the victim, Angela.
Three years down the drain! You have no idea!
No idea!
About what?
What it means to be deaf!
Ah, so now I don't know. Perfect!
Being deaf is shit! It's fucking shit!
I know, but it's not my fault you're deaf.
(Ona cries)
I'm sorry.
(Sound disappears)
Get out.
Can you leave?
Go.
Go...
I said go. Get out!
Get out.
Look at me.
Please, look at me.
What are you doing here?
Ona has a high temperature.
Héctor's stayed to look after her.
-And the trip to see Héctor's dad? -We'll go another time.
I'll get your case, okay?
-You came by yourself? -Yes.
Haven't you eaten yet?
I told Ana, no swimming if you don't finish your lunch.
And you...
before you go in the water,
you have to digest your food.
That's a myth.
I can't swim anyway, I don't have my bikini.
Really? Why?
I forgot it.
I've got a few. I'll lend you one.
Why didn't Héctor come?
Ona will have the same temperature here as she does there.
It was more complicated.
Don't worry.
Leave her alone.
I'd love a weekend by myself.
To switch off.
They're letting you play today?
I'm not playing, I'm listening to music.
What are you listening to?
M... of a. Do you know it?
...fame...
...party...
He's sick, we'll look after him.
I didn't know. What's wrong with your dad?
They're doing tests. He has pains down here.
He's asleep.
Shall we take him?
How are you?
Fine.
Ona?
I just put her down.
And how's your dad?
Old.
I'm tired, I'm off to bed.
(Distorted sound through hearing aids)
Hello.
It's your turn today.
I've just left work...
...the first one.
Hello...
...goin...
(Sound disappears)
Hi.
It's Ona's birthday today.
I brought this.
Oh...
Look...crown...
What?
...celebrate it now...
Yes.
...let's go.
Hi there! How are you?
Ona.
...nappy birthday to you...
...Ona... happy bir...
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Ona
Happy birthday to you
Look at the ground
and the rain.
Where's Luka?
Where is she?
Luka.
