00:00Excuse me, Alonso. It's my daughter.
00:03I need to deliver these shoes.
00:06I've been working all morning at the market place.
00:09My clients are waiting for me.
00:12You stay at home.
00:14Please don't come back too late.
00:16Yes, ma'am.
00:17I'll call you later.
00:18Bye.
00:19Don't be late.
00:21Bye.
00:22Bye.
00:23Bye.
00:24Bye.
00:53Can you do me a little favor?
00:58I need to go somewhere.
01:01Can you take me?
01:02But I don't want anyone to find out.
01:05Yes, of course.
01:06With pleasure, sir.
01:09I'm ready.
01:10We can go to the movies now.
01:11You look beautiful.
01:13See you later.
01:14Bye.
01:15Have fun.
01:22There you go.
01:23Wait for me.
01:24Yes, sir.
01:25What's up, sir?
01:26I'm here.
01:27How can I help you?
01:28Thank you for helping me, Alonso.
01:29Did you have any problems with your mom
01:30because you came in a taxi?
01:31No, not at all.
01:32She's a good person.
01:55No problems.
01:58No problems at all.
01:59The taxi driver is actually
02:00family by now.
02:01Whenever we need a favor,
02:02we call him.
02:03Great.
02:04Well, see you later.
02:05Bye.
02:06I'll tell you how long we'll be
02:07on the road.
02:08I mean it, Eugenio.
02:10It hurts so much
02:11to hear what happened to you.
02:13Your veterans were excellent,
02:15some of the top ones.
02:17One of the best.
02:20Thank you very much, Mr. Gabriel.
02:23That's why I dared to come and see you, because...
02:26Well...
02:28Give me a hand.
02:30Of course.
02:32You have the pension that the law marks for disability.
02:35No, that's very little money. I need more.
02:39I need to fulfill my daughter's dream of having her 15th birthday party.
02:42The bosses were very specific when they told me that I would have to pay you exactly what the law says.
02:49Yes, I know.
02:51In the factory where I worked, they already compensated me, but unfortunately I couldn't keep my job.
02:56But...
02:58Look, Mr. Gabriel, despite my condition, I can perform very well as a sailor.
03:04How?
03:06Are you asking me to give you back your job?
03:09That's right, Mr. Gabriel.
03:10Imagine this story on social media.
03:14You, your bosses, the company would look great.
03:18Imagine, the company rehires your disabled employee to fulfill your daughter's dream of having her 15th birthday party.
03:29Look, I don't think the bosses want to pay you the same.
03:33You are no longer in the same working conditions as before.
03:36What if they pay me half?
03:40Please, boss.
03:43Think about it.
03:45It's time for illusions.
03:50Okay, you start working with us again as a sailor.
04:06How did it go? Did they give you back your job?
04:09Yes, Alonso. I got my job back.
04:13I'm going to be useful again for my family, for my daughter.
04:18I'm going to be able to throw her her 15th birthday party.
04:22I'm very happy for you, Ivonne.
04:25For Ivonne, who was really sad that she wasn't going to have her party.
04:30Yes, I know.
04:32She tries so hard to make sure nothing happens, but I realize.
04:37I had so much hope.
04:41I have asked the Virgin of Guadalupe so much to give me the opportunity to fulfill my daughter.
04:47That she can get my job back to feel useful in society.
04:52To be able to continue to support my family.
04:55I ask the Virgin so much.
05:01The Virgin of Guadalupe
05:32This rose wasn't here?
05:40It's divine.
05:44It's for you, Virgin.
05:47Today is your saint's day.
05:50But don't tell anyone.
05:53This is a secret between you and me.
05:57Because if anyone finds out that I say that she appeared here alone,
06:02they're going to think I'm crazy.
06:12Oh, Mom, you don't know how happy and excited Mr. Eugenio was that he was going to be able to throw Ivonne's party.
06:17I offered to help him with whatever he needed.
06:20Son, you're going to have to make a great effort to keep this secret.
06:23And that Ivonne doesn't find out.
06:26Yes, I know. She's going to be very surprised.
06:29In fact, I already talked to my friend, the sound guy.
06:32And I asked him to play at Ivonne's party and he's going to charge me a friend's fee.
06:35I'm very happy that you are so supportive, Alonso.
06:38Yes, Mom. Hey, you're going to help me too.
06:41Oh, yeah? In what?
06:43Look, we never use the building's party room.
06:47Yes?
06:49Hey, you really make a very good idea.
06:51Well, you can count on the party room. I'd love to.
06:54I'm going to Alonso's apartment because his mom invited me to dinner with them.
06:58Hey, but we're going to school. It's getting late.
07:02Yes, run, run.
07:04Bye, Dad.
07:06Bye.
07:08Be careful.
07:13I love you.
07:15I love you more.
07:17I thought Esteban was never going to take his sister.
07:19And we have very little time for everything to be perfect.
07:22Look, here's my quinceañera money.
07:24With this, you should be able to buy the girl's dress.
07:27Well, then I'm going to run to liquidate so you can give it to me.
07:30Run.
07:32And I also have to go to the bakery because the owner gave me permission to bake a five-story cake for my granddaughter.
07:43Now, Ivonne, you can't imagine the surprise we have for you.
07:46You're going to be very happy.
07:50Yes, my love, but it's all thanks to you.
07:53All thanks to the fact that you have a father who adores you.
07:58I love you.
08:00I'll be right back.
08:05Thank you very much for inviting me to dinner and for bothering to cook, Mrs. Lourdes.
08:10Oh, you're welcome, Ivoncita.
08:12I am very happy to participate so that you have a day that you will remember forever.
08:17Yes, Mom, I think we can go to the table now, right?
08:21Yes, of course, but first I would like you to accompany me to a place.
08:24Shall we?
08:26Yes, of course.
08:34Careful, there we go, there we go, there we go.
08:37That's it.
08:39Careful, there we go, there we go, there we go.
08:42That's it. Go straight, straight.
08:44I'll take care of you, I'll take care of you.
08:46That's it. Come, come, come.
08:48Don't worry, I'll hold you, I'll hold you, I'll hold you.
08:51Come, come. Ready?
08:53Now, straight. One, two, three.
08:57Surprise!
09:09What is all this?
09:11It's your 15th birthday, little sister.
09:14It's very beautiful, even the cake.
09:18Oh, but I made it with all my heart, my dear.
09:22Thank you very much, Grandma.
09:24My love, let's go to the bathroom, there is your dress.
09:39Happy birthday to you!
09:42Happy birthday to you!
09:45Happy birthday to you!
09:48Happy birthday to you!
09:52Bravo!
09:54Bravo!
09:56Bravo!
09:58Bravo!
10:00Bravo!
10:02Bravo!
10:04Bravo!
10:08Bravo!
10:10Bravo!
10:14You look beautiful.
10:16Because I'm very happy.
10:18I'm finally going to dance my waltz with the prince I've dreamed of so much.
10:22Yes, hey, there's someone who has a bigger dream than mine and yours.
10:27And it's your dad who made this party for you.
10:39Happy birthday, daughter.
10:42Will you allow me to dance?
10:45Yes, Dad.
10:47Of course I want to dance with you.
12:08Bravo!
12:18Thank you, daughter, for fulfilling my dream and the illusion of dancing the first waltz with your dad.
12:25I love you very much.
12:27I love you.
12:30Now yes, Alonso, it's all yours.
12:58Here is the illusion of my daughter becoming a reality.
13:01An illusion that was threatened by the odds of life,
13:05but love manages to move all the obstacles so that the time of illusions is fulfilled.
13:11I am very grateful to my boss, Don Gabriel, for returning my job,
13:15despite my physical condition,
13:17to achieve my daughter's dream of having her 15-year-old party,
13:21to achieve that a father fulfills the promise to a daughter he adores.
13:26Thank you, really.
13:32You do not have to thank him, Eugenio.
13:35It was the right thing to do, and you deserve it.
13:40I could not be wrong, Don Gabriel.
13:43You have been very generous and supportive with me.
13:46You are a very good worker,
13:48and I want you to remember whenever you want it,
13:51the job of a watchman will be yours.
13:55Thank you, boss.
14:06Everything was amazing.
14:08I didn't want the party to end.
14:10I didn't want the wonderful moment I was living to end.
14:15Well, I will live in your memory forever.
14:19Thank you, Alonso.
14:21And thank you all for being by my side.
14:24Tonight was the best night of my life.
14:27I also danced a lot,
14:29but I'm exhausted because I think I'm not for those things anymore.
14:34Oh, I'm sleepy too. Let's go to sleep.
14:37That's a very good idea, son.
14:39Well, let's go to bed.
14:41Yes, I'll make your bed.
14:43No, no, no.
14:45Where are you going? Eugenio, I'm going to make your bed here.
14:47No more.
14:49From now on, I'm not going to sleep in the living room anymore.
14:52No more in the living room.
14:56From now on, I'm going to sleep in our room, love.
15:02No, no, no. I'm fine.
15:23No.
