Transcript

Exploring the complex themes of personal self-determination and bodily autonomy, “Gin” focuses on the struggles of a 15-year-old girl, Ginebra, who becomes pregnant and attempts to self-induce an abortion.

At the heart of the story is the relationship between Ginebra and her mother, Shell, who works tirelessly to provide for her children but is often absent from their emotional lives. While Shell ensures they lack nothing materially, her absence creates a distance between her and her children, especially Ginebra.

00:01:41.750 --> 00:01:44.375
I love you.

00:03:26.750 --> 00:03:27.791
Come on!

00:03:48.458 --> 00:03:51.333
Alberto, come on!
We are late!

00:04:06.166 --> 00:04:09.666
I’m sorry... I’m overwhelmed with work...

00:04:09.916 --> 00:04:14.000
I know, I know, but this month it’s the inventory,
last month it was a school meeting,

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.291
the one before that your divorce…

00:04:16.291 --> 00:04:19.500
If I don’t come and drag you out,
I won’t see you till hell freezes over.

00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:20.625
Don’t get mad...

00:04:21.250 --> 00:04:24.208
Hurry up or they’ll close the restaurant.

00:04:24.750 --> 00:04:26.000
How are your kids?

00:04:26.041 --> 00:04:28.833
Growing up too fast.

00:04:28.916 --> 00:04:32.208
Al has turned into a full-on hormonal teenager…

00:04:32.333 --> 00:04:34.666
Send them all my love.

00:04:34.666 --> 00:04:41.041
Well it’s gonna have to be a text,
cause I barely see them, poor things.

00:04:41.375 --> 00:04:42.791
What about Roberto, doesn’t he help you out?

00:04:42.791 --> 00:04:43.291
Roberto?

00:04:43.291 --> 00:04:45.041
Roberto’s MIA.

00:04:45.666 --> 00:04:46.916
He found another woman.

00:04:46.916 --> 00:04:48.208
You’re kidding.

00:04:48.208 --> 00:04:48.833
I’m not.

00:04:48.833 --> 00:04:51.458
That’s what you should do,
find yourself a good lover.

00:04:51.541 --> 00:04:54.750
I don’t have time to breathe,
how am I gonna find a lover?

00:04:54.750 --> 00:04:57.500
Forget about breathing,
what you need is to get out there!

00:04:57.500 --> 00:05:02.291
You remember when we were kids and
we used to put on red lipstick to make a splash?

00:05:03.458 --> 00:05:06.333
Well today, we’re gonna make a splash.

00:05:07.125 --> 00:05:09.500
Like this? No mirror?

00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:10.375
Go ahead..

00:05:11.083 --> 00:05:12.166
Great.

00:05:13.750 --> 00:05:14.250
That okay?

00:05:14.291 --> 00:05:15.000
Perfect.

00:05:15.750 --> 00:05:16.500
Perfect.

00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:17.791
Big time.

00:05:19.541 --> 00:05:22.583
Speaking of big time,

00:05:22.916 --> 00:05:25.625
weren’t you seeing somebody? A reporter?

00:05:25.625 --> 00:05:26.250
Yeah…

00:05:26.291 --> 00:05:30.458
Actually I cooked an exquisite dinner
for him the other night.

00:05:30.666 --> 00:05:34.083
I had champagne ready and everything,
drank half of it before he got there.

00:05:34.166 --> 00:05:36.833
I was lying on the sofa looking stunning…

00:05:36.833 --> 00:05:38.166
So... you got lucky.

00:05:38.291 --> 00:05:40.291
I wish!

00:05:40.708 --> 00:05:43.416
He’d just come from covering a pro-life march.

00:05:43.500 --> 00:05:46.416
And he starts telling me that
in I don’t know what country,

00:05:46.416 --> 00:05:50.625
thousands of women die each year from illegal abortions
and even more suffer irreversible injuries,

00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.666
that the infant mortality rate increased
after the legalization of abortion.

00:05:55.916 --> 00:06:00.000
Listen, I got an abortion twenty years ago,
and I paid a lot of money for it,

00:06:00.250 --> 00:06:05.041
and the only thing I regret is getting ripped off.

00:06:05.375 --> 00:06:08.291
If I get pregnant because I like to fuck,

00:06:08.291 --> 00:06:11.375
I don’t think that\'s reason enough
to bring a life into the world,

00:06:11.583 --> 00:06:16.041
and become a mother,
which is something I just don\'t want to be

00:06:16.208 --> 00:06:19.958
I don’t believe in the Fairy Godmother,
or Santa Claus, or the Tooth Fairy.

00:06:20.041 --> 00:06:26.833
Now, if you think the Fairy Godmother exists
and gets angry if you get an abortion, then fine, great,

00:06:26.833 --> 00:06:29.583
end of the discussion.
Have the kid, and that’s that.

00:06:29.708 --> 00:06:34.000
But let’s be real, you’re only doing it
because you don’t want to piss her off.

00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:42.208
So in the end I didn’t get lucky.
I sent him off to sleep with his wife.

00:06:44.666 --> 00:06:46.708
You got an abortion?

00:06:46.791 --> 00:06:47.541
Yeah.

00:06:47.750 --> 00:06:49.333
You never told me.

00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:53.291
I know. You still believe in the Fairy Godmother.

00:06:57.250 --> 00:06:59.083
You okay?

00:07:00.041 --> 00:07:04.750
Sometimes I’d like to throw it
all away and disappear.

00:07:06.458 --> 00:07:08.000
Your children too?

00:07:09.416 --> 00:07:13.291
Yeah, them too.
Well, only sometimes.

00:07:13.958 --> 00:07:15.375
Do it.

00:07:54.583 --> 00:07:56.291
Shit.

00:07:58.750 --> 00:08:02.125
Where are you going?
You can’t go through there.

00:08:10.708 --> 00:08:12.916
Tonight I’m home alone.

00:08:13.208 --> 00:08:14.208
Wanna come over?

00:08:14.291 --> 00:08:15.416
Sure.

00:08:42.625 --> 00:08:45.708
Why did your parents name you Ginebra?

00:08:45.791 --> 00:08:49.916
Because they conceived me there, I think.

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:51.541
What does it mean?

00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:59.000
It means white like the waves, like the surf.

00:08:59.708 --> 00:09:01.083
I like it.

00:09:01.250 --> 00:09:02.375
My turn.

00:09:02.916 --> 00:09:04.791
How many girls have you kissed?

00:09:05.083 --> 00:09:06.250
Not telling.

00:09:06.750 --> 00:09:10.041
It’s truth or dare…

00:09:10.750 --> 00:09:12.166
What do I do?

00:09:13.791 --> 00:09:15.333
Take off your shirt.

00:09:23.333 --> 00:09:25.208
Are you a virgin?

00:09:25.750 --> 00:09:27.166
Not telling.

00:09:27.625 --> 00:09:29.500
Dare, then.

00:09:38.250 --> 00:09:39.541
Gin, come on.

00:09:42.416 --> 00:09:43.458
I got to pee!

00:10:31.833 --> 00:10:34.458
I don’t need the bathroom.
Come on, open the door.

00:10:42.666 --> 00:10:44.875
What’s wrong? You fight with Quique?

00:11:28.083 --> 00:11:29.666
What’s wrong baby?

00:11:30.541 --> 00:11:32.625
Can I tell you something?

00:11:32.875 --> 00:11:34.625
Of course. What is it?

00:12:04.458 --> 00:12:06.458
Morning...

00:12:06.458 --> 00:12:07.666
Mom?

00:12:08.625 --> 00:12:10.208
Don’t you have to work?

00:12:12.833 --> 00:12:16.458
I told them I’m not coming in today.

00:12:16.916 --> 00:12:18.583
Are they gonna fire you?

00:12:19.041 --> 00:12:20.375
I hope not.

00:12:22.583 --> 00:12:25.791
There’s something I want to tell you two,

00:12:26.208 --> 00:12:28.208
especially Gin.

00:12:30.583 --> 00:12:39.833
A long time ago, when I was your age,
I had a boyfriend named Sergio.

00:12:40.583 --> 00:12:46.583
He was the one that took my virginity.

00:12:48.291 --> 00:12:52.458
One month, I didn’t get my period.

00:12:53.625 --> 00:13:00.833
And I had to make one of the hardest decisions of my life.

00:13:02.791 --> 00:13:07.625
But, years later, I met your father.

00:13:08.333 --> 00:13:12.125
And you two came into my life.

00:13:26.958 --> 00:13:31.041
I wish you could understand
how hard it is for me to do this.

00:13:33.458 --> 00:13:39.583
Being a mother means to stop living my life,
and live for you.

00:13:41.208 --> 00:13:42.166
It’s love.

00:13:42.166 --> 00:13:43.750
It’s responsibility.

00:13:44.333 --> 00:13:46.666
It’s always worrying, always making sure
you’re going to be okay.

00:13:47.458 --> 00:13:51.041
My mom’s is a little crazy, I know,

00:13:51.250 --> 00:13:56.458
but she’s the one who’s going to love me unconditionally
for the rest of my life.

00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:04.541
And even though she’s not around sometimes,
she’s the best mother I could ask for.

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.625
I want to be that person for you.

00:14:08.125 --> 00:14:11.250
But it’s just not time for that yet.
