Broken Embraces Page #4

Synopsis: Passion, obsession, wealth, jealousy, family, guilt, and creativity. In Madrid, Harry Caine is a blind screenwriter, assisted by Judit and her son Diego. The past comes rushing in when Harry learns of the death of Ernesto Martel, a wealthy businessman, and Ernesto's son pays Harry a visit. In a series of flashbacks to the 1990s, we see Harry, who was then Mateo Blanco, a director; he falls in love with Ernesto's mistress, Lena, and casts her in a film, which Ernesto finances. Ernesto is jealous and obsessive, sending his son to film the making of the movie, to follow Lena and Mateo, and to give him the daily footage. Judit doesn't like Lena. It's a collision course.

reagrding digestive in Europe.

Here he is...

How's the patient?

You brought him in the worst conditions...

I assume you know already.

Will you be able to save him?

I'm... Ernesto Martel.

We will try our best, mister Martel,

but at the moment we can't operate him.

And tomorrow?

Tomorrow, maybe.

We are feeding him via parenteral,

he will need some blood to recover.

Do all you can to save him, doctor.

Don't doubt it. It's my obligation. I will inform you

about the evolution in the following hours.

Can I stay, doctor?

(Surprised) Yes, of course... You can stay with

him in his room for as long as you want.

Thank you very much.

I'll see you later.

I don't know how to thank you for

everything you are doing for us.

I'm here for whatever you need, madame.

Mum, Do you want me to stay with you?

No, go, darling.

You've done enough.

Shall I bring you something to eat?

Yes... no, leave it,

I'll manage myself, now.

I'll call you later.

(Whispers) Thanks...

(doorbell)

Who is it?

It's Ray X.

Ray X?

Nobody is named like that.

It's a nickname.

In our age we took a lot of extasis.

What do you want?

I'd like to write a script with you,

for me to direct it.

Are you a director?

I did a very good documentary 14 years ago.

This would be my first fiction movie.

Call Judith Garcia, my agent,

and explain her everything.

If she finds it convenient,

she will arrange a meeting.

And now I'd like to have a shower,

because you have caught me in the bathroom.

Hey, are you going to stay there all day long?

Well, you haven't given me Judith Garca's

phone number.

You figure it out. She's a well known

production director.

Am I going?

(Off) Yes, go, go.

(mobile phone)

Yes?

Hi, Harry. It is I.

Hi, Judit.

I've received a phone call from a young director. His

name is Ray X and he wants to write a script with you.

Does it ring any bells?

Yes.

He wants to see you this afternon,

or tomorrow, if you can.

I've asked him an advancement, and he has agreed,

but I won't be able to come because

I'm very busy with the Americans.

Well, I'll speak with him

and I'll tell you later.

I hope you like him, he looks

like he could bleed money.

Have you seen him?

No, because of his voice. And because of the cheque

I'm going to ask him as soon as I hang up.

I'll send Diego so you are not alone.

Kisses. Ciao.

Well, Alicante or Barcelona?

Barcelona.

The director really wants Barcelona.

I think Alicante it's a better option.

(Doorbell)

Hello.

I've got a meeting with Mr. Harry.

Yes, he's in his office.

Hello, it's Ray X.

How are you?

Sit down...

Well, you tell me.

I like your work a lot,

I've known it since the beggining.

Thank you. If you don't mind, let's get to the point.
