We witness the moments before a revolution in the life of Paco and Ana, the kind of moments when anything is possible; when the adrenalin breaks out and the imagination materializes all dreams, as unreal as they may seem. But the truth, as in every revolution, awakens violently and hopelessly.

PACO
The cardboard, Ana!

PACO
It’s not stopping…

ANA
What?

PACO
The elevator.

ANA
Don’t be silly, it’s not coming here.

PACO
I think it’s coming.

ANA
Shut up.

PACO
Ana, it is.

ANA
It can’t be, shut up…

PACO
It is, shit!

SALESWOMAN
I like to tell the truth, if I see an apartment that doesn’t meet the standards, I don’t sell it… They’re afraid of me at the office…
In this case, It’s a great deal.

GIRL
We’ve seen some real dumps…

SALESWOMAN
No, not me. I refuse to sell those.

YOUNG MAN
And that other door?

SALESWOMAN
That’s the service door.
There’s only one apartment in this floor,
you’d be alone. Shall we?

ANA
Hurry up…
What’s wrong with you?

PACO
I’m fed up, Ana.

ANA
Not now, Paco.

PACO
We’re hiding like dogs.
This sucks. We’re too old for this.

ANA
Here, get dressed.

PACO
We gotta do something.

ANA
Yes, get out of here, please.

PACO
Let’s run away.
I want to get out of here…
Come with me…
We can hitchhike…
I’m talking about taking off, being independent, living together.

ANA
Whatever you want, but let’s go.

PACO
I’m serious… Come on, right now, just like this.

PACO
I’ll work in a factory… I always wanted to work in a factory or in construction. There’s a lot of work in the building industry…

ANA
Are you being serious?

PACO
Of course I am, I’ve never been so serious. What do you say?

ANA
Come on.

PACO
It’s the solution to all our problems. Not having to deal...
with your mother, or my parents. Not having to explain ourselves.
Having our own house. Making love whenever we want.
Being fucking free.
What do you say?

ANA
I don’t know. And my stuff…?

PACO
Your stuff? It’s all your mother’s.
We don’t need anything of hers.
It’ll be incredible… You’ll miss this year,
but you can make up for it next year.
And then you’ll be able to study.

ANA
I don’t wanna go to college.

PACO
You’ll be able to do whatever you want.
I’ll be working and I’ll be able to support you.
They’re building a lot in Medina del Campo.
I’m sure I´ll get a job…

ANA
And where will we live?

PACO
At Buja’s, he lives alone now. We’ll be there for a short while.
As soon as we can, we’ll rent something…

ANA
I’d like to have a stereo and turn it up so loud that you can’t even talk.

PACO
We might have to wait a little while for the stereo.

ANA
I’ll always be with you. You already know that.

PACO
Do you have your ID on you?

ANA
Yes.

ANA
Wait, I gotta get the sweater I left at your place.

PACO
Leave it, let’s go.

ANA
Now that we’re here.

PACO
Let’s go please. If we don’t, we never will, I’m sure….

ANA
It’s just a sweater!
PACO
You already have one on, and my mother’s home… Let’s go and then we can hitchhike…

ANA
It’s just a second… Then we do whatever you want.

PACO
Please.

ANA
Don’t be silly.

MOTHER
Hello, dear!

ANA
Hello, Carmen.

MOTHER
Isn’t Paco with you?

ANA
Yes, but… I just came for the sweater I left here…

MOTHER
Come in. Are you staying for tea? I made cookies.

ANA
Cookies, they’re good. But we really can’t…

MOTHER
Come on, this way you can keep me comany for a while, I’m very bored… Charo was going to come but she couldn’t.
Come on.

ANA
Let’s see what Paco says…

MOTHER
Paco loves cookies… Leave it to me, I’ll convince him.

ANA
I don’t know…

MOTHER
Come on! Come in! the sweater in his closet…
What should I do with the door?

ANA
I don’t know… Leave it open.

MOTHER
It’s in the second drawer, with his sweaters.

There is no sweeter moment than the one before a revolution
