Aquarius Page #3

Synopsis: Clara, a 65 year old widow and retired music critic, was born into a wealthy and traditional family in Recife, Brazil. She is the last resident of the Aquarius, an original two-story building, built in the 1940s, in the upper-class, seaside Boa Viagem Avenue, Recife. All the neighboring apartments have already been acquired by a company which has other plans for that plot. Clara has pledged to only leave her place upon her death, and will engage in a cold war of sorts with the company. This tension both disturbs Clara and gives her that edge on her daily routine. It also gets her thinking about her loved ones, her past and her future.

Seu Geraldo?

We are here to talk to you...

...a good, eye to eye conversation,

which is the best thing there is.

We have brought you

a counter-proposal.

That's wondertul!

This is about the upstairs flat, right?

No, this is about that conversation

we had before...

Tihs is about acquiring

your apartment.

About selling this apartment?

Exactly.

I'm not selling, Seu Geraldo,

you already know that.

-Ms. Carla, this proposal.

-Clara.

Ms. Clara.

-Where were you?

-I was downstairs sweeping.

Ms. Clara?

It's a very generous offer.

It's over the market value

for this type and size of apartment,

but we've made this proposal

especially for you.

Let's just get this over with.

Let's just get this over with,

Geraldo.

My apartment is not for sale;

I'm not selling.

I appreciate your visiting,

but i must go.

Ms. Clara,

First of all, congratulations,

I can see from out here that

you've remodeled the apartment,

-it looks beautiful.

-Yes, very interesting.

-Thank you.

-It's in very good taste, congratulations.

My name is Diego, i'm head of

this project at our company,

which is, by the way, my first project,

and i'm really proud of it,

and i think it's safe to say

that i have great news.

Yes?

And i'm going to tell you why.

First of all, the project

is now called ''Aquarius.''

Is he your.. son? Son-in-law?

No, no. This is my grandson, Diego;

He's been doing a good job

at the construction company.

Thank you, grandpa.

Did you say ''Aquarius?''

It's ''The New Aquarius''

The idea is to keep the name of the

building that used to exist in this spot.

''Used to exist?''

Yeah, it's a way of preserving the memory

...of the original building.

This is a new idea.

...but now with the new offer, another

piece of good news we bring you

The building exists.

You're standing there,

leaning on it.

Wrong way to express myself.

I see...

Now, before i go in and

close the door,

tell me something

What was the name of the original project,

before this ''New Aquarius?''

The original project was

the ''Atlantic Plaza Residence.''

Yes, that'd be a good name,

it sounds good, doesn't it?

We much prefer ''Aquarius''...

Well, thank you so much for this...

We'd like to point out that we are

always open to dialogue.

OK, thank you. Excuse me.

See you later.

In case you want to read it later,

on your own, the project

Thank you, Clara.

I'll go get some water because

I know you're upset, OK?

Part 2 Clara's Love

Alright?

Where are my songs?

Here on the flash drive.

On the pen drive?

But you'll transfer them

to my cell phone later?

Sure, i'll do that.

Will you?

Yeah, we'll do that later.

OK. Did everything fit?
