Because you're never around, Mom.

You travel a lot.

Actresses are really a pain.

- Mr. Jacinto in front of me.

- How about being less formal?

You're right. You sit there.

Wherever you wish.

- Jons, to my left.

- Of course.

Does anyone need cutlery?

Can you handle the chopsticks?

I am a 49-year-old widower.

Sometimes, I go out at night.

Sometimes, I dine at restaurants.

I've eaten food

from Mexico, Iran, Armenia...

Lebanon, Thailand,

China, Russia...

and, of course, Japan.

I can handle chopsticks very well,

for your information.

What the hell is going on?

- See for yourself.

- I see your arms are crossed.

- We are on strike.

- We agreed to talk...

...after the banquet.

- We don't want to wait.

You promised to review our salary

early this year, and it's now May.

You decided to wait until

a time when we have...

TV channels, the press

and over 100 guests...

on Sunday to drive to the wall!

We decided that this is

the best time to negotiate.

- This is blackmail!

- And you have abused us!

Pushing me is not going to work...

and you know it.

We've made our decision.

I'm going to pretend

that I didn't hear a thing.

I'm going to leave,

and you'll get back to work...

and, on Monday, we'll talk over

what we need to discuss.

No.

Out of my kitchen!

All of you!

No!

I'm sorry about the carpet.

I'll pay the cleaner.

- You don't have to.

- She's upset.

Poor Marilina has been locked up

all day long. First in one place...

then another. Did you know

that dogs pee...

in places that they like?

He's overreacting.

- It's an expensive, antique carpet.

- And I'm your mother!

From Argentina!

He looked as if he'd like to kill me!

You didn't tell me you'd be staying

for three months.

- Yes, I did!

- No, you didn't.

What? Are you keeping the restaurant

closed all this time?

No! Your Uncle Ricardo and

Aunt Cecilia will run the restaurant.

Your mother is here to stay,

in case you haven't noticed.

She's doing well in Buenos Aires

and has a business to run there.

If she's here, it's because your Mom

kicked her out of the hotel.

Are we playing

"who has the worst mother"?

Okay. What do you want me to do?

Have her sleep in the street?

She brought three enormous

and heavy suitcases!

- I'm going to have a bath.

- Good idea.

Use really cold water!

The roast beef is delicious...

the wine is excellent...

and the dinner set is divine.

The only thing missing

is a little chat. Right...!

Please make an effort, Miguel.

Put yourself in my place.

For just a while.

I spent thirty hours in airplanes

and airports and finally in a train...

using the cheapest fare

I could afford.

I haven't been to Europe
