00:00And these devices, Mom?
00:02Ta-da!
00:04I bought them for you, my love.
00:06So when you train, you don't miss anything.
00:08Well, the ones we had weren't bad.
00:10Well, I changed them.
00:12And I did it for your own good, huh?
00:14But you find a problem with everything.
00:16Of course not, Mom.
00:18Thank you very much.
00:20Hey...
00:22Do you think you can give me more money this month?
00:24It's Grandma's birthday,
00:26and I'd like to visit her and give her a present.
00:28I'd like to visit her and give her a present.
00:54Perfect.
00:56I'm tired.
00:58Can we leave the pictures for later?
01:00No, honey.
01:02I'm sorry, but I can't.
01:04Besides, the clients can't wait.
01:06The line of clothes will be out in two weeks,
01:08and we have to put the specials all over the city.
01:10and we have to put the specials all over the city.
01:12Let's keep going, guys.
01:14We're thirsty.
01:26We're thirsty.
01:34I'm home, Mom.
01:36Hi.
01:38Why didn't you go to the studio with me?
01:40The application taxi took forever,
01:42and I had to put on a mask so no one would recognize me.
01:44I couldn't, honey.
01:46I had a Zoom meeting with a brand of French cosmetics.
01:48And since of time difference,
01:50I had to do it now.
01:52A French brand?
01:54They want you to be the ambassador of America for their brand.
01:57And of course I said yes.
01:59Mom, but I've been full of work and I haven't rested at all.
02:03I thought it would be a good idea to take a break.
02:06Is this how you respond to the effort I make for you, Leila?
02:09I spend it working on your career all day.
02:12I spend it in meetings with important brands,
02:14so that you are the model you are today.
02:16And you tell me that you are tired, that you want a break.
02:18It's not fair.
02:20No, Mom, of course I am very grateful for everything you have done for me.
02:23But I'm really tired.
02:26Please understand me.
02:28There are days when I love my job and other days I hate it with all my heart
02:32and I would like to run away.
02:34At least you have the opportunity to feel that, Leila.
02:37Now you understand me.
02:39I broke my dreams to have you.
02:41I had everything to be the great international model you are now.
02:45But no.
02:47I stupidly decided to have you.
02:50Come on, Mom, please.
02:52Don't start with the same thing again.
02:55Oh well, that's the truth.
02:57I got pregnant with you when I was 16, Leila.
03:00I should have listened to your father before he abandoned us
03:03to leave Italy and continue with his career.
03:08No, no.
03:09I stupidly had you and now you do pay my sacrifice.
03:14No, Mom.
03:15I'm sorry.
03:17It's okay.
03:19I'll go to the deal with the French brand
03:21and I'll do whatever you think is convenient for me.
03:25Very good, my little girl.
03:27Thank you, Mom.
03:37I'm glad you reached an economic agreement with the French brand.
03:40That benefits us all.
03:43That Leila is part of this agency gives us global positioning.
03:47Of course.
03:48I have been able to advance Leila's career.
03:52For something so precious, Manager.
03:54For the good of the girl, of course.
03:56Having a gold mine at home.
03:59Don't you think?
04:00Cheers.
04:02Come in.
04:05Mom, I already finished the group session of the shoe brand.
04:09And the other guys are inviting me to celebrate a karaoke.
04:12Do you think you can give me money?
04:14Again, Leila?
04:15You see how poorly spent you are?
04:17The good thing is that I manage your money.
04:19Because if you had the card and I didn't...
04:21Come on, come on.
04:23Let her have fun with her colleagues.
04:26Here.
04:27Today I invite you to the fun.
04:32Take it.
04:35Okay.
04:36But it's a loan.
04:38I'll pay you when my mom gives me my next meal.
04:41Okay.
04:44See you at home, Mom.
04:50We'll see how long your taste lasts.
04:53You are the only one who does not realize that Leila is no longer a girl.
05:01I want to always be like this.
05:03I have to be very pretty for when I meet the daddy
05:08I feel like he's talking to me in Enigmagram.
05:12Let's see.
05:15Maybe I'm going to change my gym routine.
05:17Yes, maybe that's it.
05:19But to do it I need modern equipment.
05:23Let's see.
05:29Come on.
05:31This one.
05:34This one.
05:38This one.
06:03And these devices, Mom?
06:05Ta-da!
06:06I bought them for you, my love.
06:08So when you train, you don't miss anything.
06:10Well, the ones we had weren't bad.
06:12Well, I changed them.
06:14And I did it for your good, huh?
06:16But you find a problem with everything.
06:18Of course not, Mom.
06:19Thank you very much.
06:22Hey.
06:24Do you think you can give me more money this month?
06:26It's Grandma's birthday and I'd like to visit her and give her a gift.
06:31Leila, I don't understand how you can call that woman Grandma
06:35after she didn't do anything for her son to fulfill his obligations.
06:39Mom, what could Grandma do?
06:42That was your decision and my dad's.
06:45Besides, I haven't seen my dad since I was like five years old.
06:51I don't even remember him.
06:52Of course you don't remember him.
06:54He went to Italy to fulfill his dreams and never came back.
06:57Mom, I don't want to fight.
06:59Please, can you give me more money?
07:01No, I already told you that money isn't wasted.
07:04You'll see how you manage with the money I give you.
07:07And remember that you have to go to Colombia,
07:09to the opening of Milton Fah's store.
07:12Tell the girl to help you pack.
07:15But weren't you going to accompany me?
07:18No, this time I didn't even ask her to accompany you.
07:21I have something very important to do here and I can't miss it.
07:30My love, thank you very much for accepting my invitation to eat.
07:33Grandma, you know I love you very much.
07:36But it's very difficult to see you because my mom won't let me.
07:40I don't know, my love.
07:42And to a certain extent you're right.
07:44When your dad found out you were on your way, he left.
07:47And I didn't have the courage to face him or my husband.
07:51But well, let's not talk about sad things.
07:54The important thing is that now we're here to celebrate your birthday, Grandma.
07:59You're right, my love.
08:01Hey, I already saw that you have a lot of work.
08:04You're Milton Fah's ambassador.
08:07In fact, I'll go to Colombia for two weeks as a brand ambassador.
08:13Hey, Grandma, I don't want to be rude, but I have to go.
08:18I have a photo shoot at the agency and I don't want to be late.
08:21Don't worry, I understand.
08:23Young man, the bill, please.
08:26Hey, a dessert or something.
08:31Oh, Grandma.
08:32Oh, forgive me.
08:34The thing is, I left my wallet in the other bag and I didn't bring money to pay the bill.
08:39Oh, don't worry, I'll invite you.
08:44Thank you, Grandma.
08:52Two weeks later
08:57Come in.
08:59Mom, I'm back.
09:01Yes.
09:03Did you get a surgery?
09:06That was such an important appointment that you couldn't miss it?
09:10Of course, I got a liposuction.
09:14Oh, it hurts.
09:15What? I'm young, I have to take care of what God gave me.
09:18Can you tell me how much money you paid for a surgery?
09:22You've always known that I charge a percentage of your earnings.
09:26I work as your manager, you're not paid.
09:30Yes, yes, Mom, I have no doubt about that.
09:33But if you only give me a few pesos a month, according to you, so as not to waste my money,
09:38I don't think what you earn is enough to pay for a surgery.
09:42Look, it's not my fault that you're a bad administrator with the money I give you.
09:46I was saving.
09:48And look, you know what? Let me rest.
09:52Today has been a very long day.
09:54And you know what? You should be grateful to me, Leila.
09:57I'll take you to the top of the list.
09:59Enough, Mom, really, enough.
10:01I'm very tired to hear the same thing over and over again.
10:13Leila, this is David Arango.
10:17Both have been chosen by the brand Luis Victor for the campaign of Culturas y Fronteras.
10:24Nice to meet you.
10:27It's a dream come true to meet you.
10:31You are much more beautiful in person.
10:35The photos do not do you justice.
10:37Thank you very much.
10:40I have also seen you on walkways in Paris, Milan.
10:44You are very famous.
10:52Of course, you feel very big and now you complain to me.
10:56You no longer see everything I have done for you.
11:00I have dedicated my life to you, Leila.
11:03I have only lived to fulfill your dreams.
11:05Stop saying it's my dream when it's actually yours.
11:09I didn't ask you to be a model.
11:10I just grew up doing this because you decided so.
11:15And yes, I lived in Paris for a year, but I was studying modeling.
11:20That's what I did.
11:22Perfect. Leila is a professional, I assure you.
11:25And she won't have a problem fulfilling her request.
11:28I'll take care of that.
11:31Yes, yes, thank you very much.
11:35Who were you talking to?
11:37You won't believe the brand I just signed a contract with
11:42to make you look like her, my love.
11:44Which one?
11:46K-Fashion.
11:48The most important brand in South Korea.
11:50It will enter the Latin American market
11:52and they have chosen you, my love, as their image.
11:56Do you know what that means for your career, Leila?
12:00Mom, but I already have Luis Victor, Catalina Perea and Milton Fajer.
12:06Yes, yes, yes, I know, my love.
12:08It's just a matter of you adjusting your schedule
12:11so that you meet all the contracts.
12:13I'll take care of that, my love.
12:15You don't have to worry about anything.
12:17We just have a little problem, daughter.
12:21You'll see.
12:23The beauty standards of South Korea are very different from ours.
12:27And the brand needs you to lose, let's say, 8 kilos
12:31so that you can fit in with their clothing line.
12:348 kilos?
12:368 kilos?
12:38No, mom, it's a lot.
12:40I take care of my diet, I exercise.
12:43I'm fine.
12:45I can't lose 8 kilos.
12:47Well, you'll have to be able to, my love.
12:49Because in the contract I signed
12:51there is a clause that says you can be penalized
12:54if you physically do not meet the requirements of the brand.
12:57Look, you don't worry.
13:00I'll tell Juanita what and how much you should eat, okay?
13:04Besides, it wouldn't hurt you to go on a diet.
13:17Mom!
13:19What are you doing?
13:21Who is that guy?
13:23It's Osmar, my boyfriend.
13:25And I've seen you live in this house before, right?
13:27No.
13:33Hi, Leila.
13:35You're as beautiful as you look on social media.
13:38Well, not as beautiful as Irene.
13:41Your mother is unique.
13:44Mom, can we talk alone, please?
13:48Okay, I understand.
13:54Princess.
13:56Don't be long, okay?
13:58I'll wait in the bedroom to finish what I started.
14:05You're a rude one, Leila.
14:08Don't you want to see me happy?
14:11How can you be so selfish, really?
14:14That's why I dare you to operate, right?
14:16Because you got that man
14:18who clearly knew he was a liver.
14:20And you don't even know what you're talking about, my queen.
14:22He's an influencer and makes a lot of money making videos.
14:26Yes, of course.
14:29Mom.
14:32I want you to buy me a car.
14:34Oh, no, my love.
14:36You'll have to wait until you get the payment for the next brand.
14:39I don't have it right now.
14:41What? What do you mean you don't have it?
14:43I don't have it available, Leila.
14:45You know perfectly well that everything is in investments.
14:48I'll tell you when you can buy the car.
14:50And you know what?
14:52I'd better go with my man.
14:55And don't bother me with my minorities, girl.
14:58Oh.
15:00And Juanita already knows what she has to feed you, my love.
15:04Don't eat too much
15:06because you still have to lose a few pounds, okay?
15:08I love you, my beautiful fatty.
15:10Bye.
15:19Accountant Bracamontes,
15:21I want you to please give me a detailed report
15:23on the money I have invested,
15:25as a result of my work since I was a child.
15:27Leila, I'm really sorry about you,
15:29but has your mother really not told you anything?
15:32Nothing about what?
15:34Leila, you don't have money invested or savings accounts.
15:37Your mother has spent it all.
15:40I'm sorry, but your bank accounts are in red numbers.
15:53I want you to tell me
15:55what you have done with the money I have earned
15:57during all those years working, Mom.
15:59How is it possible that I have nothing?
16:01Don't talk nonsense.
16:03I've never lied to you, Leila.
16:05Of course your money is invested.
16:07Just look at the house where we live.
16:08Look at the luxuries we have.
16:10All this is yours, my love.
16:12No, Mom.
16:14This house is made and chosen to your liking.
16:16You have never taken me into account
16:18to do or undo in it.
16:20Don't you remember that you lived
16:22almost a year in Paris, my love?
16:24With what do you think I paid?
16:26Of course, that you feel very big
16:28and now you complain to me.
16:30You no longer see everything I have done for you.
16:33I have dedicated my life to you, Leila.
16:35I have only lived to fulfill your dreams.
16:37Stop saying it's my dream
16:39when it's actually yours.
16:41I didn't ask you to be a model.
16:43I just grew up doing this
16:45because that's how you decided it.
16:47And yes, I lived in Paris for a year,
16:49but I was studying modeling.
16:51That's what I did.
16:53That's enough.
16:55You are ungrateful, Leila.
16:58You don't know how much my heart hurts
17:00when you tell me those things.
17:02Come on, Mom.
17:03That's enough, really.
17:05You suffocate me.
17:16No, no, no.
17:18This doesn't fit me.
17:20This is size 00.
17:22It's for a 10-year-old girl.
17:24Can't you send me clothes of my size?
17:26No, that's the size of this brand.
17:28Then I can't be the model
17:30that represents you.
17:31I don't have your clothes.
17:33How many kilos did you lose?
17:35I don't know.
18:01I don't know.
18:03I am lost in your memories.
18:07I haven't seen you
18:10anywhere.
18:13I am lost in your memories.
18:18My heart was lost.
18:21There was sorrow in my eyes.
18:23What was the mistake
18:25that I made?
18:28You said it.
18:31Get lost.
18:34I am lost in your memories.
18:39Whether I cry
18:41or get lost.
18:44I am lost in your memories.
18:49I am lost.
18:52I am lost.
18:57I am lost.
19:01I am lost.
19:04I am lost.
19:07I am lost.
19:10There was lot of
19:12jealousy in your love.
19:15I am lost.
19:18There was lot of
19:20jealousy in your love.
19:25Why are you
19:28punishing me?
19:29I just want to say, in your memories,
19:36I don't know, I don't know.
19:41The life that is left, is now being punished.
19:46Why did you leave me?
19:51Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love.
20:02I don't know, what will happen.
20:07I just want to say, in your memories,
20:12I don't know, I don't know.
20:17I don't know, I don't know.
20:47I don't know, I don't know.
21:17I don't know, I don't know.
21:47I don't know, I don't know.
22:17I don't know, I don't know.
22:21I don't know, I don't know.
22:44It would be great if we celebrated our two months of relationship
22:48in the beaches of Brazil.
22:52My love, the thing is that right now I don't have any money.
22:57They haven't deposited anything to Leila.
23:00So we have to wait a little longer, until she calms down.
23:09My queen, just don't be late.
23:13Because what you can't give me, I'm sure another woman can give it to me.
23:17Forget it.
23:19I'm your only woman.
23:22And if you don't exist, you don't exist.
23:28I'll see how I do it.
23:30Yes?
23:31Yes.
23:36It can't be Leila.
23:38It's been a week and you haven't lost enough weight.
23:42That's it, it's over.
23:44The client has already contacted Jade Vaz.
23:47She will be the one to represent the brand in Latin America.
23:51You must pay the penalty.
23:53Okay.
23:55But...
23:57But I don't have money to pay them.
24:00This is not a game, Leila.
24:02Don't you understand? The brand could sue you and you could even go to jail.
24:10Leila.
24:12Leila, calm down.
24:14Leila, Leila, calm down.
24:16What's wrong with you? You're exaggerating.
24:18Juan, Alfonso, help me!
24:20Leila, please breathe.
24:22What's wrong with her?
24:23I don't know.
24:24Suddenly she got like this, she can't breathe anymore.
24:26We have to take her to the hospital.
24:27I don't want any problems at my agency.
24:30Run, run, run!
24:31Help her!
24:36What happened, doctor?
24:38Why did I feel like this?
24:40What you felt is called generalized anxiety.
24:43It's the sudden feeling of fear, stress, paranoia.
24:47This generated the acceleration of your heart rate,
24:50causing physical weakness and shortness of breath.
24:53Nowadays, anxiety is a common disorder among all kinds of people.
24:57But I was fine.
24:59Just a while ago I began to feel everything you describe.
25:03Unfortunately, there are people who do not respond to the signals that their body sends them
25:07and become functional depressive.
25:10But you're on time, Leila.
25:12You'll see that with medication and therapy we'll be able to channel your emotions
25:16so that anxiety, even if it's part of your life, doesn't dominate you.
25:21But what if people think I'm crazy?
25:23People always speak from their perspective of life, Leila.
25:26You can't control that.
25:27The only thing you can control is your mind.
25:30And asking for help is not from crazy people, it's from smart people.
25:34I'll always be with you, my love. I'll never leave you.
25:39And me too.
25:40You know I'm here for you unconditionally.
25:44Surround yourself with people who become your support network
25:47and learn to heal people with whom you no longer synchronize
25:50and who, more than doing you good, conflict you.
25:53Putting limits on your family, work, and social relationships is not bad or immature.
25:59It is necessary for you to have peace of mind.
26:02You can do it, Leila.
