Gloria Page #5

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

and ask how I was doing?

Did they care about my health,

the operation, or anything?

Nothing! Ever.

I've always been the one

who worries about them

and they do nothing in return,

do you understand?

Nothing at all,

it's a terribly lonely feeling.

And I don't want you to have to

share that, to experience that.

And I thank you for understanding me.

Who's there?

Who is it?

What do you want?

- What is it?

- Open, you f***ing door.

Gloria...

Morning, Mario.

I'd like to make a complaint.

He said he got confused.

He thought it was his apartment.

That's why the key

wouldn't fit in the lock.

This just can't happen, Mario.

He's in a bad way, Gloria.

- We all can get like that.

- He couldn't get in

because he couldn't get

the key in the lock,

so he decided to

climb up your balcony.

Happy birthday, son!

Thanks, Mom.

I wish you a good year,

a wonderful year!

Thanks.

- May everything turn out well, okay?

- Okay.

This will grow back, won't it?

- This is Rodolfo.

- Hello. Rodolfo.

- How's it going?

- Happy birthday.

Thanks a lot.

Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- How are you?

- Good.

- This is nice.

- How long has it been?

Ana, my sister...

Twelve.

Twelve years?

Twelve years.

Thirteen, I think.

- Thirteen, twelve...

- Flavia? You must be Flavia.

Nice to meet you.

Same here.

You didn't tell me

she was so beautiful.

- Oh, please!

- Beautiful, really.

- You haven't introduced us.

- Sorry.

- Rodolfo... my partner.

- How do you do?

- Gabriel, my ex-husband.

- Nice to meet you.

- And Flavia, his wife.

- A pleasure.

Nice to meet you.

- Cheers.

- To your birthday.

- Happy birthday, son.

- Happy birthday.

- And cheers...

- Happy birthday, little brother.

- To your pregnancy.

- Cheers.

Cheers.

Oh, you didn't know.

- No, I didn't. You're pregnant?

- You hadrt told him?

No... Sorry.

Oh, really?

- How nice...

- But it's very recent.

- You're not showing at all.

- Six weeks.

- I see, and do you have a partner?

- Yes.

That's nice.

- Have a seat.

- Thanks.

She just seems so young!

Would you like some peanuts?

Sure, yes. Thanks.

Olive?

Sure, thanks.

- Would you like an olive?

- Me too.

Rodolfo, my mother

was telling me that you have

a club, an amusement park?

Yes. "Vertigo Park".

It's a lot of fun.

Have you heard of paintball?

Yeah, it's shooting...

- Yes, with colors...

- Is it with paint?

Yes, in two teams.

It's like a little war.

She loved it.

- You took her to play?

- Yes.

It was target shooting.

- She can hit the spot.

- She sure can, yes sir.

- What did you do before?

- Transport for the Navy.

I was in the Navy for many years.

Then I got into transporting
