Why shouldn't I make a film? I've got a lot to say.
Sorry, what? A lot to say to who?
What do you mean? Nobody.
I'm doing it for the film industry.
That's a cliché.
Clichés are big truths, mainstream ideas, lexical democracy.
Women can't read maps for instance...
-Have you heard that one? -Yes.
Sure you have... Definitely. Can men read maps?
-Yes, we can. -No.
Men are disorientated. Men are being feminized.
-So the film's about that? -Well done, mate.
The film is my orientation. That's the plot.
That's another cliché. Just as you like.
Yes, a big cliché.
Shall we go?
-Sculptor? -No.
-Acupuncturist? -No.
-Mountaineering? -No.
-Yoga? -No.
-Camping? -No.
-Cinema? -Yes.
He's so sure about it. He's only into cinema.
I envy him for that.
I should make a film myself.
Yeah, sure. You too.
You see? I am cinema.
Whenever I hear the word, my body starts moving.
No...
But it's too late. I'm too old for this.
How old is a good film-maker meant to be?
I'm going to make a film, guys, but I'm a dead film-maker.
Listen, don't you think this is all about Mercè?
She's working in film production now. Poor Ferrer. He's not okay.
What? Don't you think so?
No.
He's fine and wants to make a film. He's in good shape.
The film's about a guy who's disoriented.
-Is it autobiographical? -Absolutely not.
It's the exact opposite.
What's the opposite of autobiographical?
A cliché. Something generic.
A film to make money, to get famous.
Famous for some particular reason?
Because of some ex girlfriend...? I don't know...
What are you implying?
-Are you disoriented? -No.
Only fools are oriented. That's another cliché.
When I'm lost I go to the cinema and dream.
Cinema orientates me.
Another cliché. A big one. I like it.
Clichés are the Vaseline of life.
What...? Vaseline?
-What are you implying? -Nothing.
I don't know why I said that. What genre do you like?
Films about love, about animals...
About love between animals. Yes, I'd love to watch that.
-Can you make it? -It's called 'The Orientation'.
About *** orientation?
-Is it gay? -Is it the film you'd like to watch?
I make it for people like you, to orientate you.
Man is being feminized.
Okay, but I don't get it. Is it about animals?
It's about everything. It's a global film.
Oh, right. Yeah, I get it, I get it.
Yeah, about disoriented animals... wild animals.
-Animals in captivity live longer. -What?
Sometimes you don't need to get out of the cage.
Oh, okay.
Do you think I'm being feminized?
Well, maybe... I don't have a clue.
No, no.
Do you think I'm a man?
What else?
A spider?
Am I a manly man?
Really manly.
Really manly...
Okay. Do you think I'm gay?
What if you were gay?
I'd *** guys.
Do you *** guys?
No.
-You're not gay, then. -That's a pity.
-I'd like to know what am I. -Would you like to be gay?
A gay poet is much more of a poet, don't you think?
It's all about practice.
This film thing is a bit sudden, isn't it?
Yeah, big things happen suddenly.
It's a cliché. Clichés are life.
Mercè works in film production, right?
-Yes, yes. -Yeah?
Yes, but it isn't because of that.
-Isn't it? -I don't think so. It'd be weird.
I always say things are not that simple.
I think they could be.
Well I think things are not that simple.
I think things are always much more simple.
Come on. How are you feeling about Mercè?
Great.
-Admit that you miss her. -No.
Oh, so you don't think about her?
No, there are times when I don't think about her.
There have definitely been some times.
Look, it's much braver to accept that
than to pretend you're cold and everything's fine.
Sorry. See you later.
I've decided on the lead.
-The She-Man. -Wow! Like He-Man?
No, the She-Man. The union. Two in one.
The living being of the future.
-Are you curious? -I'm amazed.
A man realizes he misses his woman
and seeks his own inner woman.
It's autobiographical, then.
-Is that you? -No.
It's a...
blond guy.
Sounds very emotional.
No. It's serious. In a scientific sense.
He goes into a lab and transforms his cells
so he can turn into his inner woman.
A pandemic devastates the Earth
and thanks to transgenetics he saves the human race.
I identify with this She-Man.
Yes, I miss the man or the woman in me. Something.
I miss Mercè.
Wow, man!
You've finally accepted it. I'm glad.
Such a cliché, right? I'm so unoriginal.
You're such an idiot!
When are you making the film?
I'm not.
Now I've pictured it, I don't need to.
You've got nothing to prove to her?
Maybe.
You're a real dead film-maker.
Completely dead.
Is it possible there's a dead woman inside me?
