used to say?

That God made clouds

so he could hide behind them

when he's ashamed of something.

How about that?

Of course my friend

was an anarchist.

What else would he say?

Well?

Was the father happy?

What did he say?

That I've put on weight.

Have you got the next size up?

You don't want to watch

the soap opera?

I don't watch series'.

You don't like them?

They last too long.

Of course.

You haven't got time.

You're so busy.

They're series'. They last.

Have you ever done a puzzle?

Never?

No.

I don't see why they go to all

the trouble of breaking a photo

into little pieces.

Why not just buy it with the pieces

already in place?

Then it wouldn't be a puzzle.

The photo would be the same.

It's not the same.

The photo is.

Yeah, but then

I wouldn't have done it.

You'd save yourself all that work.

The final result is the same.

It's the same, but different too.

Because if you do it yourself,

it comes out differently.

Puzzles and other stuff too.

Everything.

It happens in life too.

Before you're born,

you're given all the pieces.

You don't know you have them,

but they've been given to you

and it's your job

to put them all together.

That's life.

Putting all the pieces

in the right place.

It's as simple as that.

Nobody gave me any pieces.

Yes, they did.

You just don't know it.

But you have all the pieces.

It's your responsibility to find out

where each one goes.

Wiring money is cheap,

fast and safe.

Send as much as you want

to South America

for only 4,50 euros...

We bring people closer.

Is he okay?

Amador.

You're looking after him, right?

He's fine.

Who are you?

Marcela.

Amador?

He's in his room.

I'm a friend of his.

I come every Thursday.

He didn't tell you?

He's very discreet.

What do you do?

I look after him.

Just like me.

But only on Thursdays.

I only take an hour with him.

An hour?

More or less. That's about

how long it takes, one hour.

Every Thursday.

I need to renew my residency

in February...

If you need to consult a lawyer

about immigration

or residency requirements...

All set.

Already?

What was your name, sweetie?

- Marcela.

- Marcela.

See you next Thursday, Marcela.

I'll be back around the same time.

You'd better not say anything

to my daughter.

She doesn't know her.

She wouldn't understand.

Don't worry.

In her own way, Puri...

is a mermaid.

If your friend is gone, no flowers.

Or pay me what he owes me.

Tell your friend to come talk to me.

They put make-up on you

when you die. Right, Marcela?

So you look pretty

when you reach heaven.

It's for the funeral.

And so you look pretty

for the man upstairs.

Flowers are the only thing
