Transcript

Arcelia and Lulu have been together and away from their families for many decades. Now that they are old, they only depend on each other and no one else. In another part of the city, Julian struggles to explore his identity while living under the umbrella of his conservative mother and macho-minded grandfather. A sudden event will draw an unexpected path between Arcelia and the young Julian.

00:00:18.653 --> 00:00:23.391
ENCOUNTER

00:00:46.815 --> 00:00:48.381
Lulu...

00:00:48.783 --> 00:00:50.318
wake up!

00:01:23.985 --> 00:01:25.753
Bon appetit!

00:01:41.635 --> 00:01:43.336
Eat!

00:01:59.486 --> 00:02:00.855
Eat...

00:02:05.160 --> 00:02:06.861
Julian!

00:02:07.095 --> 00:02:08.830
I\'m coming!

00:02:08.963 --> 00:02:10.965
Hurry, it will get cold.

00:02:16.103 --> 00:02:17.805
Take off your cap,

00:02:17.938 --> 00:02:19.573
it\'s bad manners!

00:02:20.098 --> 00:02:22.060
It’s cold, grandpa.

00:02:23.476 --> 00:02:25.780
Don\'t be obnoxious.

00:02:39.860 --> 00:02:41.595
What\'s up with that?

00:02:41.728 --> 00:02:43.330
With what?

00:02:43.496 --> 00:02:46.876
Don\'t act dumb.
What happened to your eyebrows?

00:02:47.301 --> 00:02:49.603
It\'s the trend, mom.

00:02:50.136 --> 00:02:52.373
Trend my ass!

00:02:53.048 --> 00:02:55.260
I didn\'t give you permission to do that.

00:02:57.303 --> 00:02:59.346
Put the cap back on!

00:03:27.916 --> 00:03:29.710
What jumper do you want?

00:03:30.878 --> 00:03:32.421
The brown one.

00:03:32.588 --> 00:03:35.090
Not again, you wore it yesterday.

00:03:35.425 --> 00:03:38.176
Look, wear the pink one.
It suits you.

00:03:40.305 --> 00:03:42.931
It looks nice with your skin tone.

00:03:51.148 --> 00:03:52.900
Let\'s...

00:03:53.233 --> 00:03:55.486
give me your hand.

00:04:24.556 --> 00:04:26.308
Lulu?

00:04:29.770 --> 00:04:31.563
Lulu?

00:04:47.996 --> 00:04:49.831
Lulu?

00:04:55.421 --> 00:04:57.298
Lulu!

00:04:57.715 --> 00:05:00.300
Why do you lock the door?

00:05:15.691 --> 00:05:17.985
Oh, Lulu!

00:05:18.151 --> 00:05:22.781
You scared me!
Why did you lock the door?

00:05:22.948 --> 00:05:25.993
- I didn\'t hear you.
- No, don\'t lock the door!

00:05:26.285 --> 00:05:27.911
I didn\'t hear you.

00:06:00.445 --> 00:06:04.031
Julian, don\'t you think you
studied enough already?

00:06:08.618 --> 00:06:11.371
- It\'s late. Fer should head home.
- In a minute, ma!

00:06:12.998 --> 00:06:14.791
Open!

00:06:14.958 --> 00:06:16.835
- Julian!
- I\'m coming!

00:06:17.086 --> 00:06:18.461
Open!

00:06:19.755 --> 00:06:22.425
How many times have I told you
not to lock the door?

00:06:22.591 --> 00:06:25.135
What\'s wrong, mom?
Take it easy.

00:06:26.011 --> 00:06:28.513
It\'s getting late for Fer...

00:06:29.431 --> 00:06:31.391
See you later, ma\'am.

00:06:32.601 --> 00:06:34.353
Goodbye, Fer.

00:06:38.523 --> 00:06:40.233
What\'s wrong?

00:06:40.693 --> 00:06:42.361
See you!

00:07:01.921 --> 00:07:03.673
Close the door, mom.

00:07:05.341 --> 00:07:06.968
Turn up the volume.

00:07:09.305 --> 00:07:11.140
A bit more.

00:07:14.976 --> 00:07:16.603
Turn it up!

00:07:21.316 --> 00:07:24.570
- A bit more.
- Have you turned on your hearing device?

00:07:24.736 --> 00:07:27.113
Yes I have.
Turn it up!

00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:29.450
It\'s already too high!

00:07:30.158 --> 00:07:31.826
It doesn\'t matter!

00:07:32.076 --> 00:07:34.371
It doesn\'t matter! Turn it up!

00:07:35.956 --> 00:07:38.541
Enough, it\'s too loud.

00:07:39.793 --> 00:07:41.670
Enough, it\'s too loud.

00:07:45.591 --> 00:07:47.301
Turn it up!

00:07:48.635 --> 00:07:50.470
Turn it up!

00:08:50.238 --> 00:08:51.781
Lulu?

00:09:05.378 --> 00:09:07.005
Lulu?

00:09:15.513 --> 00:09:18.350
What is your relationship to the deceased?

00:09:19.601 --> 00:09:21.353
I\'m...

00:09:21.936 --> 00:09:23.605
I\'m her friend.

00:09:23.981 --> 00:09:26.733
Does Mrs Lourdes have any relatives?

00:09:27.066 --> 00:09:28.526
No.

00:09:29.278 --> 00:09:31.071
It\'s just me.

00:09:31.821 --> 00:09:35.116
But we lived together for 40 years...

00:09:36.035 --> 00:09:38.955
We bought this apartment together.

00:09:39.580 --> 00:09:42.040
If you are not a relative
or her legal guardian

00:09:42.206 --> 00:09:44.168
we cannot give you the death certificate.

00:09:45.210 --> 00:09:49.465
You can go to trial
and present proof that lived together.

00:09:49.798 --> 00:09:52.050
But you will need witnesses,

00:09:52.216 --> 00:09:54.053
either family or friends.

00:09:56.930 --> 00:09:59.100
I don\'t have any...

00:10:51.276 --> 00:10:54.155
Dad, we\'re waiting for you!

00:10:56.656 --> 00:10:58.533
I\'m coming!

00:11:04.790 --> 00:11:06.583
I\'m Araceli...

00:11:08.376 --> 00:11:10.461
The partner...

00:11:11.880 --> 00:11:14.216
Friend of your sister Lourdes.

00:11:16.468 --> 00:11:19.055
Lourdes died this morning

00:11:19.805 --> 00:11:23.683
and I need a relative to come
with me to claim the body...

00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:26.728
So I can bury her.

00:11:30.106 --> 00:11:32.401
Lourdes died many years ago.

00:11:33.568 --> 00:11:37.740
You got some nerve, coming down here.

00:11:40.158 --> 00:11:41.868
I\'m sorry...

00:11:44.538 --> 00:11:47.123
Why are you there?
Go check on your grandpa!

00:11:48.083 --> 00:11:50.251
Can\'t you see the lady and I need to talk?

00:12:01.055 --> 00:12:03.390
Please forgive him...

00:12:03.848 --> 00:12:06.185
My dad is really ill and...

00:12:06.393 --> 00:12:09.396
the death of his sister came
as a shock to him.

00:12:10.230 --> 00:12:13.858
I haven’t heard from my aunt in decades.

00:12:14.526 --> 00:12:16.028
I understand.

00:12:16.945 --> 00:12:19.865
If I could, I wouldn’t ask for help.

00:12:22.116 --> 00:12:24.495
Who would have thought?

00:12:25.036 --> 00:12:26.996
The laws...

00:12:29.833 --> 00:12:31.293
I see...

00:12:31.668 --> 00:12:34.255
Well, I\'ll be honest with you...

00:12:34.796 --> 00:12:37.591
As you can see, my dad is very ill and...

00:12:38.216 --> 00:12:40.426
and my son is attending college...

00:12:40.593 --> 00:12:42.971
and I take care of all the expenses.

00:12:43.805 --> 00:12:45.390
So...

00:12:46.308 --> 00:12:52.355
I wanted to ask if my aunt left
any kind of document.

00:12:55.608 --> 00:13:00.280
Honestly, whatever happened
between you and my...

00:13:00.655 --> 00:13:02.616
Is none of my business.

00:13:04.493 --> 00:13:05.870
I see...

00:13:06.745 --> 00:13:08.913
I do want to help you.

00:13:09.540 --> 00:13:11.666
So if you don\'t mind,

00:13:12.208 --> 00:13:14.628
I\'d like to take a look at the will

00:13:14.795 --> 00:13:17.338
and see what\'s best for all of us.

00:13:17.506 --> 00:13:20.050
After all, we are family.

00:13:48.286 --> 00:13:49.996
What are you doing there?

00:13:51.998 --> 00:13:53.708
Where will the funeral take place?

00:13:56.795 --> 00:13:58.630
In front of her house...

00:14:01.175 --> 00:14:03.051
And where is that?

00:14:04.051 --> 00:14:06.555
Why do you want to know
and make it bigger?

00:14:07.598 --> 00:14:09.891
You just met this lady.

00:14:11.435 --> 00:14:13.686
Imagine how your grandpa
would feel if he found out.

00:14:14.061 --> 00:14:15.898
Really, Julian.

00:15:27.385 --> 00:15:28.720
Hello!

00:15:32.181 --> 00:15:33.766
Hello!
