Gloria Page #4

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

Although we don't use

Twitter or Facebook

the very fact that these things exist

represents a virtual multitude

that needed to get together.

And that same multitude,

that used to go out and

start revolutions,

is now leading a revolution

that's probably more spiritual.

...all things transform, right?

One day,

you're the way you were before,

or the way I was before,

and the next, we're here...

That's not what I read

in the paper, what I read was

that all things transform,

and that astonished me.

Have you heard about

those black holes up there?

Yes, I've heard something.

Where matter is suddenly absorbed.

And the stars go...

"I'd like to be a nest

if you were a little bird.

I'd like to be a scarf

if you were a neck and were cold.

If you were music, I'd be an ear.

If you were water, I'd be a glass.

If you were light, I'd be an eye.

If you were a foot, I'd be a sock.

If you were the sea, I'd be a beach.

And if you were still the sea,

I'd be a fish,

and I'd swim in you.

And if you were the sea,

I'd be salt.

And if I were salt,

you'd be lettuce,

an avocado or at least a fried egg.

And if you were a fried egg,

I'd be a piece of bread.

And if I were a piece of bread,

you'd be butter orjam.

If you werejam,

I'd be the peach in the jam.

If I were a peach,

you'd be a tree.

And if you were a tree,

I'd be your sap...

and I'd course through

your arms like blood.

And if I were blood,

I'd live in your heart. "

Hello?

Hello, Dad?

Elena!

Hello.

How are you?

Good. How about you?

That's nice.

Yes. I've already had lunch.

Well, she should take her pills.

What can I do about it?

I'm here at home.

I haven't been feeling well.

That's why I haven't been out.

What's that?

No, I'm not going out today.

I'm staying here. Okay.

Okay.

I don't think so.

We'll talk later, okay? Bye.

Did you like it?

I don't understand, really.

I mean...

Where are you?

Why are you here?

Because I'm with you.

Why can't you tell them

you're with me?

Why drag them into

a situation that they're

incapable of understanding?

They'd say, "You have a girlfriend!

You silly old man!

How could you even think of

dating at your age?"

They'd make fun of me,

and why give them that chance?

I don't want to

involve them in our thing.

No way. No way.

I understand that we...

that I'm a part of your life, or not?

You're the most important part

of my life right now.

Then I want to feel that,

because I'm not,

if you're lying to your daughters.

- They're grown up, aren't they?

- They're not that grown up.

Physically they are,

but not inside.

When I had my surgery,

I felt lonelier than ever before.

Not one call...

Did they even call the hospital
