NIA SUR, MEXICO
I didn't always have a successful life, no.
My parents were humble,
but they worked hard so I could have a good future.
Today we can say that I fulfilled my dream.
I didn't have much as a kid,
so I always dreamt of having a family
that would always have everything.
I think I have that now.
But my life is far from perfect.
Despite being a successful man,
I must confess, I'm not happy.
Sweetie, bring the drinks.
She's my beautiful wife, Catalina Montiel.
Years don't catch up to her and if they do,
she scares them away with surgery.
What can I say about Eduardo, my oldest son?
He's changed majors three times
because he doesn't know what he wants.
Well, yes, he does. He wants to flirt with women.
My little Vivi. My piece of heaven.
Vivi knows what she wants.
Her goal is to be a famous model.
Her hobby is gaining followers for her social media
and like her mother, she likes to buy things
that she doesn't need.
But my youngest son is the one who gives me a headache.
Javi Solano.
The crown's jewel. He hates studying.
And he doesn't plan on working either.
Javi came into this world to have a good time.
Just like my sister Leticia. Her husband has, let's say,
a not very prominent salary, but who cares.
She has her brother Antonio to treat them like royalty.
Why not?
And not to mention my mother-in-law.
I pay Mrs. Lupita's hair dye,
her foot massages, and of course,
her yearly trip to Holy Land.
Although you won't believe me,
I'm on vacation
and this is my dear family.
Sweetie, I was thinking I want surgery...
I need your help.
Please.
No!
Hey, what's wrong, sweetie?
What's wrong?
Are you afraid of me?
No, no, no. I had a nightmare.
I was drowning. It was horrible.
Sweetie, but you're a swimming champion.
Besides, how can such a lucky man have a nightmare?
You're the general manager at the Federal Bank of Mexico.
And you have a beautiful wife who loves you so much
and adorable children who behave.
-A beautiful family. -Give me the keys!
I'm your older sister, Javier!
Stop making fun of me! Dad, Mom, tell him something!
-What's all the fuss? -Mom, she doesn't want
to take me to school.
I'm nobody's driver. I'm going to be late, Dad.
Sweetie, honey,
this isn't how you solve things.
Shouldn't you be dressed for school?
Javi, how much more of this? You're going to flunk again.
-Tell Dad to buy me a car then. -Right.
Everything's my fault.
I'm going to shower to see if I feel better.
-Dad. -See?
-You made your dad angry. -Think about how you're going
to fix this, idiot. -Hey!
The Solano family woke up ready to party.
Eduardo can take you if he can put up with you.
Give me the keys.
-Stop, stop. -Give those back!
-Don't touch me! -Help me out with your siblings.
-I can't handle them. -Don't worry.
But I found some bills.
You're so bad.
Let's see.
Good morning, general manager.
The Federal Bank of Mexico wishes you a happy birthday.
Today's my birthday and no one said anything.
Happiness comes to those who know how to wait.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
What happened? I slept in!
-What time is it? -No, relax.
My dream finally came true, Julieta.
Today you'll unite with the man of your dreams.
Dad, you hired a serenade.
-Yes, but no... -How sweet!
-It wasn't me. -It wasn't?
-It was your boyfriend. -My boyfriend?
A pair of dark eyes Beautiful love
I'm going to kiss him so much.
Sing and don't cry
Singing, sweetie
cheers hearts up
Will you have time for me today?
I need a touch-up. But see me first.
I have a lot of things to do today.
Done. See you later.
-Hello. -Oh.
-Sweetie, I was waiting for you. -Good.
-I thought I was going to... -Sorry, I can't have
breakfast with you, my surgeon made room
to see me, so I have to go.
-Right, the surgeon. -I need a touch-up.
I'm wrinkly. It's horrible.
He said he's going to show me
some treatments that tone your skin all over.
It's the latest thing from Europe.
I'm going to look like I'm 20.
I'm so excited. I love you.
-Do you love me? -Yes.
Oh, how exciting.
Good morning, sir. Would you like breakfast?
No, thank you, Erick. Just some coffee.
-Right away. -My dear son-in-law.
-How are you? -Well, I woke up.
I'm glad I won't be eating alone.
Erick, bring me the diet menu, please.
Of course. Do you want the hypertension,
glycemia, cholesterol, or the one to lose weight?
-Do I look fat? -No.
-The cholesterol one. -Of course, excuse me.
I've been dying to talk to you, Antonio.
I know which apartment I want to buy.
I'm a little embarrassed that you'll be paying for it,
but it's so you guys can have your privacy.
-Privacy? -Yes.
I've been with Catalina for 23 years.
You've always lived with us.
Yes, I know, but I need my own home.
It's best I leave.
I don't want to be a burden.
Thank you. You're always so considerate.
It's late. We'll talk later.
Yes.
Less corruption and more education!
Stop here. I'm going to get off.
We're going to be late for school.
I'm not going to school.
Can't you see there's a protest?
Yeah, a public school protest. Since when do you care?
Since they help me skip class.
-Seriously, man? -See you later, brother.
-I'm not covering for you. -Fine, see you later.
Vivi. I bet she remembered.
Yes, princess. Did you forget something?
Yes. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
Javier made me angry and I forgot.
-Oh, that Javi. -Yes, but I'm having problems
with my iPad. It's really slow.
Oh, your iPad. Right.
-Well, have some patience. -I can't wait.
I need to post content on my social media
or they won't take me seriously. -Okay, fine.
-Have someone fix it. -Of course not, Dad.
Those things can't get fixed. When they're slow,
you buy another one.
I can donate this one if you want.
Okay, buy a new one with the credit card.
Oh, thanks, Daddy. You're the best, bye.
-Good morning, sir. -Laurita, good morning.
Just what I need. Any news for today's agenda?
No, but it's a very special day today.
I'm very proud of being the general manager's assistant.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Thank you!
What a nice gesture.
At least you remembered.
No one at home remembered.
Surely they're preparing a surprise for you.
-You think? -Of course.
-They can't forget this date. -You're right.
Why didn't I think of that before?
Let me open your gift.
Are you sure about this?
-Do you really love Elvis? -Of course.
-Why do you ask? -It's just that
at first you thought he was immature
and arrogant.
Because I didn't know him, but Elvis is insistent
and that's how he won my heart.
I feel good by his side. He's sweet, romantic, loyal,
funny. The perfect man for me.
You talk about him as if he were fabric for a dress,
and that's not how love works. -It's not?
-Can you explain it to me then? -Well...
Wait.
Let's see.
Well, it's like getting hit when you least expect it.
When you see that person for the first time,
you feel something you've never felt before.
It's like a beating that splits you in two,
but it doesn't hurt.
It shakes you up inside and you feel breathless.
It's like you're dying
and only a kiss from that person can save you.
-My little sister's in love! -I'm not!
Of course not, silly.
Less corruption, more education!
What's going on? Where are you going?
What's wrong with you? You broke my cell phone!
Come here, coward!
Vivi.
-How are you? -Hey.
You guys look so beautiful.
-Stop drooling, man. -Stop it.
I don't know why,
but Vivi keeps getting prettier.
Man, if I were you, I'd stop crushing on her,
because I doubt she'll be interested in you.
Well, thanks. What a nice friend.
At least I'm honest, right?
I'm sorry. I didn't know you were a girl.
And I didn't know I'd break your phone.
It's fine. I'll tell my dad
to buy me a new one. -You don't say.
What are you doing at this protest then, rich guy?
I'm not rich.
I won this phone in a neighborhood raffle.
-I'm fighting the same battle. -You'll have to prove that.
If the police find us, they'll arrest us,
but they'll never take our voices.
Go on!
-What do you think? -What are you doing?
Education is spelled with a T.
Yeah, but I wrote it that way so the government realizes
that we need more money for education.
Good point. You're crazy.
And you're beautiful. Has anyone ever told you...
-I have to go. -Wait, why don't we
go get some coffee? -I can't, my brother
is getting married in a bit. -At least give me your number.
I have a pen here.
Here. Right here.
-On your arm? -If you can write on walls,
you can write whatever you want on me.
Get out of here or you'll end up in jail.
-What's your name? -Madonna.
Madonna.
Mr. Antonio?
-Rocio, you scared me. -Is something wrong?
No, no.
I know everything,
but I don't want them to know that I'm here.
-Where are they? -No one's home.
What?
I understand. Your boss Catalina
asked you to stay quiet. Don't worry.
I'll pretend I don't know anything.
Hurry up and finish cleaning. We still have to cook.
What's wrong?
You look like you've just seen a ghost.
Kind of. The boss just arrived.
But he's acting strange.
Stop criticizing the bosses or they'll fire us.
Surprise!
Family!
Oops.
I can't believe it.
You're the prettiest bride I've ever seen.
You look just like your mother.
-I wish she were here. -Me too.
But she'd be happy to know you're finally getting married.
-Dad, are you calling me old? -No, honey, it's just that...
Don't say it, please.
Your mom wouldn't forgive me if you stayed single.
She'd tell me, "Paquito, you haven't taken care
of my girls well." -That's not true.
She must be proud of you like I am.
You're the best and most handsome dad in the world.
I've tried, although it wasn't easy
raising two girls without your mother.
Sometimes you had some trouble, but you did really well.
Thank you for everything you've taught me.
It's almost time to go to the church.
Dad, can I talk to her alone, please?
This empty house
is the result of my bad decisions.
I just wanted a hug and a "Happy birthday."
Oh, Filemon, you're the only one
who remembered my birthday.
Thank you.
Daddy! Hello, Filemon.
-I bet my princess remembered. -It's my new iPad you bought me.
You're the best. I'm going to be the coolest
at school, not that I'm not already.
Come, let me show you.
I'm glad I found you. I have something to tell you.
It looks like someone remembered about Dad.
Always. That's why I want you to be
the first one to congratulate me for winning second place
in the swimming competition. I'm the Solano shark.
-Me to congratulate you? -Yeah.
I knew you'd be proud of me. And the second thing
is I won't be studying design anymore.
-You're changing majors again? -No.
I'm quitting school and I want you to open
a business for me. -You want me to?
-Congratulations, bro. -Wow.
Guess what happened.
I just met the girl of my dreams.
Dad, I need a new car this week.
-You need it? -Yes.
Wow. Well, I need...
I want to talk to my family, my kids.
-Where's Mom? -Shopping.
What happened?
-Is it about Elvis? -You have to know
who the man you're marrying really is.
This is the real Elvis Rosales.
