But no one understands that.

People stare at me.

It happens with strangers

that don't attract me.

I'm scared.

Scared of not being

like other women.

Scared of being hurt someday.

Of not being able to live with

one man, not having a family.

Nymphomania, a man's invention

to make women

feel guilty if they

break the rules.

Everyone is the way they are.

Never give up anything

you really long for

because you'll regret it.

Believe me.

To me,

I think that you

don't dare to live your life.

Want a piece of advice?

Enjoy life

as much as you can.

And go get my sweater,

I want to finish it.

You should rest, grandma.

I've rested enough.

Go on and get my knitting.

Go on.

CALL VAL:

I've lost the only person

who understood me.

I feel absolutely alone.

I'd like to have the company

of a man to comfort me,

but I haven't the strength

to go looking for him.

I'm exhausted.

Darling, I was calling

to say good night,

but I guess your out

having a good time?

You are so right!

Enjoy it while you're young?

Bye. A kiss.

Darling, I was calling

to say good night,

but I guess your out

having a good time?

You are so right!

Enjoy it while you're young?

Bye. A kiss.

Darling, I was calling

to say good night,

but I guess your out

having a good time?

You are so right!

Enjoy it while you're young?

Bye. A kiss.

I called you a lot.

You could at least answer.

What happened?

I know that my sex life

is harming me, and that

I can't go on like this.

Although I'm sunk,

I'm looking for work.

Okay, you're the person I need.

You speak English, you

have knowledge of marketing.

We sell a lot to France,

and you'd take care of

our communications,

go with me to fairs,

and have a ham for Christmas.

- A ham?

- I give them to my employees.

You can't say we foreigners

don't integrate.

Interested?

I have another interview today.

- I'll let you know this week.

- Okay.

I see you're very observant.

You see, we're moving.

Why did you quit your last job?

they cut down on personnel,

including me, Mr...

Rijas, Jaime Rijas.

What?

Rijas and Associates,

general manager.

You're a graduate in

business administration

and applied foreign languages.

A really impressive curriculum.

May I ask you something?

- Sure.

- Are you married?

- No.

Engaged?

I think that is irrelevant.

Yes, you're right, but in this job

one must travel the world over.

there's no commitment on my part.

Would you like to ask me

anything else

on the salary, or whatever?

What perfume do you use?

Well now, you really have

a very, very good sense of smell.

It's a special lavender perfume.

Yes?

Valerie?

Yes, speaking.

It's Jaime Rijas?

How are you?
