Gloria Page #2

Synopsis: Divorced for more than ten years, Gloria, a vibrant 58-year-old office clerk in Santiago, Chile and mother of two grown-up kids, craves for adventure, while on the other hand, she refuses to spend the rest of her life in solitude and wail in self-pity. Instead, vivacious Gloria embraces her freedom, and because of her love for dance, she frequently hangs out at middle-aged singles' gatherings searching for love and intimacy, but most of all, achingly longing for connection and the long-lost companionship. But the funny thing about life is that it is utterly unpredictable, so when suddenly Gloria meets Rodolfo, a recently divorced former naval officer, she will decide to give love a second chance and daringly give it a shot. Regretfully, however, Rodolfo comes with baggage, as he is still attached to his former family and his two daughters, and even though Gloria is sincerely attracted to him, reality's harsh truth will inevitably bring her face-to-face with towering obstacles rather th

Get up? What for?

Exactly.

Again.

Why get up?

Answer me!

Somebody answer me!

Why get up?

Look, I'm really sorry to

bother you this late at night.

It'sjust that...

Mrs. Marina, I work.

I have to get up early tomorrow,

you see?

I pay to live a quiet life...

No.

It doesn't make any sense!

Of course.

Why be born?

What for?

It breaks my heart, really...

I'm a mother too.

It's all rotten out there!

No, it's notjust another crisis.

It's all rotten,

don't go outside!

Please listen.

Listen to this.

I want to die!

I want to die!

Don't be born, man, don't be born!

Hello?

This is she.

No, why would I be upset?

It's fine.

Are you asking me out?

What a gentleman.

There's something, I don't know,

it'sjust, your personality, it...

it drives me wild.

Ever since I saw you I...

I couldn't...

I can't get you out of my head.

I'm constantly thinking about you.

It's so physical, so real,

what happens to me with you.

I thought it was never going

to happen again.

My head was spinning...

And I didn't dare to...

It was very difficult.

I was too terrified to call you.

Until I went for it, luckily.

And thank you.

Thank you very much for accepting.

Thank you.

No big deal.

Excuse me, would you?

Hello?

Hello, Susana.

Yes, fine,

but you don't have to cry.

I'm going to do it,

before 2 o'clock. Okay?

Just like always.

What?

I always do!

Okay, yes.

I'm busy now, okay?

Yes, yes.

I'll make the deposit before 2. Yes.

Relax. Bye.

So are you divorced or not?

Sure I am.

But...

you get divorced

from the woman,

not from the children. I...

I've been living alone

for a year now,

and I take care...

of the girls. They're...

They're very dependant on me, so...

they're not used

to being without daddy yet.

That's the way things are.

I used to have a very different life.

I was drowning.

I was bursting.

Ayear and one month ago,

I had surgery.

- What surgery?

- I had a gastric bypass.

I used to weigh 117 kilos.

- Right...

- I swear!

I swear it's true!

I was huge.

No...

I decided to change,

I had the surgery,

and now I'm trying to operate

on myself, but on the inside.

- Sorry.

- Amazing, isn't it?

Sorry...

Okay.

We're going to stop...

There we go.

Vertigo?

Vertigo!

This is the hopper,

it's where the paintball

goes in, okay?

This is the trigger.

It has a safety. Here.

You take off the safety.

It's an automatic.

- More this way.

- This way?

Yes, this way.

No, that's a tree.

The black figure.

- You can see it, right?

- Yes, I see it.

I'm going a bit blind too,

but you hit the target!

You hit the bull's eye!

Good!

I love your park.

You know...

Men like to play war.

Yes.

Or the paths I haven't walked,
