Ricardo, great. Your team won thanks to that goal you scored.

Thank you, don't miss the final. Richard, we're telling you right now that we're going to be the cheerleaders for the final.

We're already practicing. I'm sure the cheers will be great.

My love. - hello.

- the game was great. Yes, brother, that goal you scored was great.

Eh, well, just so you can see. Whenever you want, i'll give you your little classes.

It'll have to be another day because today we're planning to go to the plaza to celebrate your triumph. Ah, it'll have to be for later.

It's just that i have to pick up my sister. Don't make things up.

We already have everything organized. I know, but it has to be later.

If i don't pick up lucía, my parents will kill me. Oy.

We won, we won, we won. Go change your uniform.

Right now, my friend patty just sent me a video very funny. It's always the same with you.

You don't pay attention because you're watching your videos. Oh, as if you didn't do it.

Don't be so grumpy, little brother. Of course, because my parents don't scold you for not doing what you have to do.

So, go change your uniform if you want your "cell" back. Oh, you really are a bitter person.

But i still love you. Mua.

Did you see? I asked your mom to buy you the cereal you like so much.

- hmm. - - thanks, dad.

You really are the best in the whole world. And you are the light of my eyes.

- oy. - how do you see them?

Okay, relax, okay. No man, this girl is the biggest flatterer in the universe.

I know, no, well. Hey, they already told me.

In two weeks it's going to be the "fut" final. Obviously, you can't miss it.

Obviously, no. We'll be there.

Hmm, well, if they win we're going to take the whole team out for burgers. Okay, but i'm warning you now: we're going to win.

- hmm. - that's it.

Honey, we have to go because they moved the meeting and we're going to be late. Oh, don't tell me that.

- i hate when they do that. - nothing to be done.

Okay, we have everything ready, so... Son, take your sister to school.

No, no way, dad. Lucía's school is on the other side of town.

Well. I'm going to have to take a big detour.

Ah, if you don't want to take her, then give me the car and i'll take her. No, not that either, because how am i going to get to school?

When we bought you that car we agreed that you would support your sister when necessary. And today it is.

So, don't complain. And we'll see you tonight, hmm?

Oh, my handsome man. - son.

- bye, little one. Bye.

- let's go, honey. - bye.

Guys, guys, i've been checking with my parents and we can have a super party at home. Okay, party.

Listen everyone, there's going to be a party. Sounds good.

It's going to be this weekend. To cheer up ricardo and the team to win the final.

That being the case, it's going to be a mega party, then. Tell us what to bring, count on it.

Well, lots of desire to have fun. And a cousin, who is of age, already told me that he's going to help us sneak in beers without my parents noticing.

So, get ready for the best night of your life. I'm leaving, sorry.

See you later. This weekend, almendra is going to have a party for the team.

So i can't miss it. Hmm, perfect.

Just don't come home too late, huh? Okay.

I'm going to ask for permission too. This "weekend" is patty's party.

So, i can't miss it. Well, you can go too.

And you're going to take your sister that day. No, no, no way, dad.

No way i'm leaving my party to go get lucía. You'll have to.

There's no way your sister is coming back alone at that hour. It's not fair.

I'm the team captain. I can't leave...

- calm down. - you'll have to do it.

Come on, little brother. I wouldn't even insist on going to that party, if it wasn't patty's birthday.

You know very well that she's my best friend. Too bad, son.

You also have to understand that it's a very special event for lucía. You guys will celebrate when you win the championship.

What's more. We're going to put up the house so you guys can have that party, how about it?

Okay. Ricardo, ricardo.

Hey. Cheers to the best high school soccer players.

And after this toast, i'm going to have to leave. - no.

- oh, no. - stay a little longer.

- no, no. The party is just getting started.

I know, but if i don't pick up lucía at the time i agreed with my parents, they'll ground the car. - oh.

- oh. Come on.

Even if it's just a little longer. Yeah, bro, we're having an amazing time.

Right, guys? - yes.

- yes. Yuju.

I know, but i don't want trouble with my parents. Besides, i already agreed with them.

For the next party they're going to lend us the house. It's about time.

Well, if you leave, i'm going to be mad at you. Almendra, understand me.

I want to stay, but i can't. I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?

Well, we'll see if i answer you because i hate how you get your daddy-itis and sister-itis. You really become an obnoxious person.

Damn, brother. She already dumped you, buddy.

You've become a henpecked husband. Oh, little brother, don't make that face.

It's not that bad. Don't bother me, lucía.

Oh, that temper. I'm going to play you a song that we were listening to at patty's party, wow.

You're going to love it, wait. There it is.

Okay, lucía, seriously, you're unbearable. - you're going to love it.

Listen to it. - turn that off.

- turn it down. Turn it off.

- you're going to like it. Careful.

Hmm, hmm, hmm. Son, no, calm down.

Calm down, my love. The doctor already said you're going to be okay.

You have to stay calm. And lucía?

How is she? Dead.

- your sister is dead. - calm down, calm down, please.

Calm down, my love, calm down. No, no, no, no.

You're okay. You're okay.

- calm down, please. - please, calm down, my love.

- son, calm down. - i'm here with you, my love, calm down, son.

Calm down, my love. And my mom?

Where do you think? Suffering because lucía is dead.

Since she left, we've had a great void. I miss her a lot too.

It's the least you can do. Don't say that, dad.

For arguing, for arguing. Daughter.

My little daughter. If you knew how much i miss you.

I miss you so much. I'm going to miss your hugs so much.

Your kisses. You are the best thing that has happened to me in my life.

And now... ...

I don't have you. I don't have you.

Are you seriously going to be like this? Like what?

With that hateful face you always have. Understand me, almendra, won't you?

My sister died. Obviously, i've had a very hard time.

Yes, it was bad. But it's over now.

You're not the same as before. I hope that when you play the final this semester you'll be like you used to be.

I'm not going to play the final. I dropped out.

What do you mean you dropped out? And why didn't you tell me?

Because it was my decision. And besides, i don't feel like doing anything.

If it's going to be like this, then i don't want to be with you anymore. You used to be fun.

I was your girlfriend because you were popular and the soccer champion. But since you're boring now, i don't want to be with you anymore.

Are we going to eat now? Forgive me, son.

Today has been a very difficult day for me. I asked for a few days off at the office.

And i made the decision to put away your sister's things so that she doesn't keep reminding us of what happened. And do you really think that by putting away her things things are going to get better?

Of course not. But we have to do our part to be as good as possible.

Well, i don't think that by not eating things are going to get better. I'm going to make myself a sandwich.

Everything revolves around lucía now. If she hadn't died, things would be very different.

Ah. How did it go today?

Bad. I got fired.

What do you mean you got fired? What happened?

Well, i've been very distracted with this lucía thing and... ...

I've made a lot of mistakes. Pst.

Obviously, they couldn't take it anymore. This is all we needed.

We're going to have to... ...

Tighten our belts while you find a solution. Because we're only going to have my salary to live on.

With what they gave me in severance, we'll be able to hold out for a while. I just hope i can get a job soon because...

... We could be in big trouble.

Big trouble. Ricardo, come get your exam.

It can't be, ricardo. The only correct answer you had on the exam was your name.

You hardly answered any questions, and the only ones you answered were wrong. Well, that's just the way it is.

You can't keep going on like this. You used to be a brilliant student.

You said it. Before.

Before things were very different. I hope you want to reconsider.

I spoke with your other teachers and you're in the same situation in more subjects. If you keep going like this, you're going to fail the year.

That would be very unfortunate. I'll think about it.

This is all we needed, ricardo. For you to fail the semester because you've become irresponsible.

I don't have the head for studying. No, not for studying or for anything.

You're a great disappointment. And all the pride i could feel for you has gone to waste.

I know. Lucía was your favorite.

That's why i imagine you would have preferred that i died instead of her, right? Don't bring your sister into this.

I say it because since my sister passed away you look at me with contempt, as if you didn't care about me at all. Stop talking nonsense, please.

It's not nonsense. Since the accident happened you barely talk to me.

If i can't talk to you because i can't even see you. Why?

Why does it have to be like this? Because you are solely responsible for your sister's death.

You killed her. And you have become her murderer.

Ah. I can't take it anymore, i can't take it anymore.

I don't want to feel this pain. I don't want to anymore.

Ah. This is all i needed.

That i have to be cleaning instead of working. Don't leave your backpack there, take it to your room, please.

I know, you don't have to repeat it to me all the time. Well, i prefer to do it instead of picking up later.

With the way you've become irresponsible. I know, dad.

For you it's a tragedy that i'm still alive. You prefer me dead.

But too bad. I'm still here.

I need to do it. I need to do it.

What's wrong? I didn't see you.

How are you going to see us if you've become a freak? How weird you are.

You crashed into us on purpose because now almendra is my girlfriend. Do whatever you want with me, with what i care about.

You're an idiot! Good thing i realized it in time and broke up with him.

What were we talking about? Why didn't you tell me that things aren't good at your house, daughter?

Because i didn't expect them to be different after lucia's death. That my daughter is no longer with us has marked us deeply.

I understand that it is, but you have to move on, life doesn't wait for anyone. I know, mom, but it's harder than it seems.

I try to be strong, but it's not that simple. It hurts me that my daughter is not with us.

I miss her so much. On top of everything, jesús is unemployed and it's too much for me to carry.

And ricardo? Also, he has faded a lot.

Well, you have to do something to get his joy back. I understand that you are affected because i also am very hurt by the absence of my granddaughter, but you can't sink with that pain.

It's not right, daughter. And the first thing you have to do is recover yourself.

And for that to happen, i'm going to help you. Mom.

It's good that you're visiting, mom. Hello, daughter.

- hello. - mmm.

Today that it's the weekend i wanted to visit you because it's been a long time since we've seen each other, huh? It's good that you're coming, mother-in-law.

Also, i come to remind you that soon it will be my birthday, and like every year, i make a meal for all of you. I don't think it's a good idea for us to go.

We're still not in the mood for parties. If you wait to be ready, you'll never leave this house.

So you have to go. I'm not going, grandma, i don't feel like it.

You less than anyone can miss it, so i'm not going to accept a "no" for an answer. My mom is right.

We've been months without leaving the house. And what better way to do it than with family?

But come on, tell me, tell me about soccer, what have you done? It's been a long time since i've seen you...

That's it, no excuses. We're all going to celebrate my mom.

What's up, cousin? It's been a long time since we've seen each other.

Well, that's how things are, nothing to do about it. But we have to take advantage that we did it, let's shoot some hoops.

I don't feel like it. Oh, come on, you're the best at soccer.

You can teach me tricks, techniques... I already told you no!

What's wrong, ricardo? Nothing.

Mmm, i was telling ricardo if we were going to shoot some hoops, but he doesn't want to. Go, son.

It'll be good for you to get some exercise. And you can't say no to me because today is my birthday and you have to please me.

What's wrong, ricardo? Nothing.

How do you mean nothing? Show me that arm.

Why are you cutting yourself, ricardo? Don't tell me no, because it's obvious that you do.

Why do you cut yourself? Forgive me, mom, but i can't receive you, i have to go to work.

Well, let them know you're going to be late because it's important, we have to talk. What has ricardo told you about those cuts he has on his arms?

Nothing, he hasn't wanted to talk to me. But you can't leave things like this, it's obvious that your son is hurting himself.

I know. There's no point in denying it, but i have no idea what to do to help him.

Anything that's necessary, daughter. Ricardo is not well, and you have to help him in any way.

Start thinking about the consequences of what he's doing. Just think that one of those wounds could cost your son his life, a cut can kill him.

I couldn't bear it. Then, seek professional help for ricardo.

Understand, rebeca, my grandson's health is at stake and you have to do everything possible to help him. Son, can i come in?

Uh, yeah, it's okay, come in. Son, i know you don't want to, but we have to talk about what's happening.

Nothing is happening, mom. Of course it is.

You can't keep denying what is so obvious. Your arms are full of wounds that you have made.

It's just a game. Hurting yourself can't be a game.

Please, son, tell me what is happening so i can help you. You wouldn't understand.

Well, give it a try. Tell me what you feel and think.

I am your mom and i will always understand you. No, mom, it's no use.

And if you really want to do something for me, don't insist because i'm not going to tell you anything. I have tried to talk to my son, but he doesn't want to tell me anything.

That's why i don't understand why he is hurting himself. From what she tells me, her son is suffering from cutting.

What is cutting? It is the need that some people feel to self-mutilate to evade their emotions.

Does that mean that my son has the intention to commit suicide? No.

It is a way in which they find a type of relief to the negative emotions that they cannot control. And why is that?

Well, each case is very specific. From what you tell me, ricardo may be doing it because of his sister's death.

Because he feels guilty for what happened and this is his way of controlling the guilt. And how can i help him?

I recommend that you take therapy, that you look for a thanatologist. She will make him understand the loss of his sister.

This is a process that requires a lot of patience, but the sooner you start, the better it will be. I finally got it.

A processed food company was interested in my resume and i already have a job. That's good.

It will be one less worry now that we have to pay more attention to ricardo. And what did he do now?

What we already know and don't want to recognize. Our son is hurting himself.

Ricardo is not well with his emotions. Ah, well, he does it for attention.

We are also suffering from the loss of lucía and we are not cutting ourselves. It is because our son has not known how to handle his emotions.

And that is why he needs our help. Well, it will pass.

And i'm sorry, i'm not going to risk my job for his nonsense. I lost the previous one for not being focused.

I am going to take care of this one. But that doesn't mean you should neglect your son.

Ricardo will be fine. When he accepts that his sister is dead because of him.

Don't say that, it was an accident. An accident that ricardo caused.

You know what? Please, don't bother me about this.

Don't bother me anymore. Virgin of guadalupe, my mother, i ask you, please, help my son.

Jesus must understand that ricardo is not responsible for lucía's death. Our son needs our help to be able to move forward and not continue to hurt himself.

Cutting is not a game, that's why i must help him because him cutting himself is his way of asking for our help with a silent scream. Come on, mom, don't exaggerate!

No, it's not an exaggeration to take care of you. And since you don't want to go either with the psychologist, or with the thanatologist that's why i asked you to wear short sleeves.

To take care that you don't keep cutting yourself. You want to make my life impossible, right?

If taking care of you is making your life impossible, well then yes, yes i am making it. Maybe right now you don't understand it, but i do this because i love you.

And i am going to strive every day so that you can trust me again and that we can talk to be able to help you. If i keep cutting myself, my mom is going to find out.

I have to find a way to keep cutting myself. But how?

This wound is already very red, but it will pass. With this, the wound will no longer get infected.

And i will be able to continue cutting myself. Ricardo, what are you doing?

Why are you cutting yourself? I'll have to talk to your parents.

It can't be possible that i had to leave work because of you. I didn't tell you to come.

The high school principal did. You were suspended because they found you cutting yourself.

- what's wrong? - nothing's wrong.

Then? Stop doing stupid things.

I'm not going to lose my job because of you, stop getting into trouble, damn it. Oh, this is all i needed.

- mmm. - watch out!

The seizure ricardo suffered was a consequence of the impact with the windshield, but we are already controlling it. Does that mean our son is going to be okay?

It is still too early to know. We have to wait for his brain to deflate to know the damage the blow caused.

I will keep you informed, with your permission. Thank you.

It can't be that ricardo is going through this because of me. It was only a second, it was only a second that i got distracted.

This shows us once again that a second can change anyone's life. Yes, i was angry with ricardo, but i didn't want this to happen, i didn't want this to happen.

There, my love. Just as ricardo didn't want his sister to die, we have to accept that accidents happen and stop looking for culprits where there are none.

Son, we're here. What happened?

That i have been the worst of fathers, that you are here because of me. It was just an accident, you got distracted for a second.

Yes, son, it's true, but if i hadn't let myself be blinded by pain, i wouldn't have made you the culprit for what happened to your sister. But it's true.

It's not true, of course not. What happened was an accident, like what happened to me.

I was very unfair to blame you for not knowing how to handle this pain. I just ask you to forgive me.

Of course i forgive you, dad. And mom, i accept all the help you want to give me.

Let's go to the psychologist and the grief counselor, and to all the therapies you want. We're all going to go, son.

The three of us need help to be able to heal our wounds so that in our family there are no more silent screams. There are accidents that will mark the rest of our lives, they will make us fall into a labyrinth of pain that will fill us with sadness and guilt.

And we will make wrong decisions believing that that is the way out, but cutting is not the solution to calm the pain. At the moment, self-harming will make us feel good, but that false well-being will pass and the pain will no longer only be emotional, we will also have wounds on our body.

Therefore, the best way to get out of that labyrinth of pain is to accept the help we need so that our hearts have the calm we deserve and there are no more silent screams. ♪ from the sky a beautiful morning ♪ ♪ from the sky a beautiful morning ♪ ♪ la guadalupana ♪ ♪ la guadalupana ♪ ♪ la guadalupana under the tepeyac ♪ ♪ juan dieguito, the virgin told him ♪ ♪ juan dieguito, the virgin told him ♪ ♪ this hill i choose, this hill i choose ♪ ♪ this hill i choose to make my altar ♪ ♪ la guadalupana ♪ ♪ la guadalupana ♪ ♪ la guadalupana under the tepeyac ♪
