00:00Hey, let's go eat the meat you like.
00:02And tomorrow you can tell me what you want for breakfast, okay?
00:05Let me say goodbye to you.
00:06Come on, Mom. Get out of here.
00:08You're embarrassing my boyfriend and my friends.
00:09Hi.
00:11Oh, don't believe her, ma'am. That's Tania's business.
00:13Hey.
00:14We'd better go in now.
00:16Well, have a good day.
00:18Bye.
00:19Look, don't leave without saying a few words to me.
00:23Tell me, Mr. Director. What is it?
00:25Come this way, please.
00:27Uh-huh.
00:28Um...
00:30Well...
00:31What's wrong? Are you scaring me?
00:32No, no, don't worry.
00:33Don't worry.
00:34Then?
00:35Well, you should've told me it was a matter of money
00:39so you'd be nice to me.
00:41I'll pay you whatever you want.
00:44I won't let you offend me.
00:46And I demand that from now on you don't say that word to me again.
00:52That's very kind of you, isn't it?
00:55You'll see.
00:56You'll see.
01:04That's very kind of you, isn't it?
01:05You don't know me, Mirellita.
01:07You don't know me.
01:26No.
01:45Do you realize how everyone is gossiping about me?
01:48Tania, maybe you're just imagining it.
01:51No.
01:52Look at them.
01:53I think I saw something on his phone.
01:55He's pointing at me and laughing.
01:57What?
02:02Yes, everyone's laughing because of your mom's video
02:04that was posted on the internet.
02:05What are you talking about?
02:06That your mom is dancing naked in a video on the internet.
02:24I can't believe it.
02:31Everyone was pointing at me at school.
02:33I was embarrassed because of you.
02:36Let me explain, daughter. Really.
02:38Do you really think there's anything that can justify
02:41you dancing naked in a video?
02:44They lied to me, daughter. They lied to me. Really.
02:48I can't believe you're so shameless.
02:50I was just going to dance for a live broadcast.
02:52I was so desperate when I agreed to do it again.
02:55But how? You had already done it before.
03:01Yes.
03:03It wasn't true that I drove a taxi at night.
03:09The truth is that I was a dancer at a gentlemen's club.
03:15And when they closed it, I decided to take the opportunity to leave it.
03:20That's when I started driving a real taxi and looking for a job, daughter.
03:25I didn't want to keep doing the same thing.
03:27But I was just dancing. I promise you. You have to believe me.
03:32I can't believe someone who's been lying to you.
03:36I mean, you even did the whole circus
03:38of parking a taxi at home so we'd believe you.
03:43You're the best, Mom.
03:45Daughter, Armando supported me.
03:48He was the one who brought me every night.
03:52Now it's clear to me the kind of favors
03:54that guy paid at Grandma's hospital.
03:58Because he's your mother.
03:59Forgive me, daughter.
04:00Forgive me, but you were offending me, daughter.
04:02Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me.
04:04Do you see how ashamed I am of you?
04:07Why don't I love you close?
04:09I hate you, Mom, I hate you.
04:14You're a dancer in a place for men.
04:19Yes, Mom.
04:23It wasn't easy for me,
04:25but it was with what I was able to get you and my daughter through.
04:30It was the only thing I thought about,
04:32about their well-being.
04:35You should have told me, daughter.
04:38I'm your mother.
04:40I thought about it.
04:42I was determined to leave him,
04:44but I made the mistake of returning to this out of desperation.
04:48I made the mistake of returning to this out of desperation.
04:55The things that were done
04:57have already been done.
05:00It may be that I don't share your actions, daughter,
05:03but I understand your intentions.
05:06And something I'm very sure of
05:09is that you are
05:11and have always been
05:13a great mother to my granddaughter.
05:15I despise myself, Mom.
05:17My daughter despises me
05:20with the only thing that has moved me is her happiness.
05:34I beg you, my mother.
05:36Help me with my daughter.
05:38Tania didn't hear me, virgin.
05:40I beg you.
05:42Help me.
05:43I beg you.
05:45Help me.
06:14I'm so glad you came to my house, my love.
06:17Just like that, my mom was convinced not to come with me.
06:20So I was locked up forever
06:22to be seen with her again.
06:24I understand that you are going through a difficult time,
06:26but she is still your mother.
06:28Yes.
06:31You can't go to high school.
06:33But I have classes.
06:35Not anymore.
06:37Your mother's scandal reached the committee.
06:39It's a scandal.
06:40And as its president,
06:42I'm here to inform you that you have been expelled.
06:44Right, Mr. Director?
06:46You can't do this to Tania.
06:48She didn't do anything wrong.
06:50Don't intervene and get into this
06:52if you don't want us to suspend you.
06:54Come on.
06:56You are definitely expelled.
07:11Daughter.
07:13What are you doing here?
07:15Why aren't you at school?
07:17Because I was expelled thanks to your little joke.
07:19Oh, daughter, I'm so sorry.
07:21Don't talk to me, okay?
07:23I despise you even more because you are the worst thing in my life.
07:25I hate you, Mom.
07:36Director Macías.
07:37You can't expel my daughter.
07:39I demand that you receive her again.
07:41The decision has been made, ma'am.
07:43Tania is a brilliant student.
07:45She has good conduct.
07:47I don't owe school fees.
07:49I always pay on time.
07:51I know.
07:53And?
07:55I know, Mirellita.
07:57And if you are affectionate with me,
07:59Tania will return immediately.
08:01I will not accept your blackmail, Director.
08:03Are you sure?
08:05Sure.
08:07What are you doing here?
08:09You really are a disgrace.
08:12Oh, Director, Director.
08:15I don't know why that ignorant girl is still receiving you.
08:21I don't think she'll come back.
08:23Oh, and you were turning your attention away from her,
08:26ignoring the ones who are decent.
08:28But you won't make that mistake again.
08:34Let's see if it's the last time you play in that courtyard.
08:37Are you the director?
08:39Yes, tell me why.
08:41I want it to be clear to you that Mirella is not alone.
08:43Or with a man.
08:46And you laugh.
08:48Go to class.
08:50You too, let's go.
08:52It's good that you come to visit, Ernesto.
08:54Well, I'll leave you alone so you can talk comfortably.
08:56Yes, thank you, ma'am.
08:58You're welcome.
09:00Your mother is very beautiful.
09:02She has always been very good.
09:04Well, I don't see it that way.
09:05If she loved me, she would not be the cause of all my shame.
09:09You are very hard on her for something that you don't even let her explain to you well.
09:13Well, don't follow her, because I'm going to hate her more.
09:15And because of her, I'm going to have a problem with you.
09:18Do you want something to drink?
09:20Water, please.
09:22Ok.
09:28I know you are a person with many occupations, Maestra Villa.
09:31And I thank you for giving me a few minutes to talk to you about my daughter's case.
09:36I am also a mother, ma'am.
09:38And you will understand that I could not stay with my arms crossed
09:42and get to the maximum instance if necessary
09:45to denounce the injustice committed against my daughter.
09:48Were you telling me that there is no reason for your expulsion?
09:53No, Maestra.
09:55And much less for something that I was the one who did it.
09:58I made a mistake.
09:59But that has nothing to do with the fact that my daughter is not a good student.
10:03She has a good behavior.
10:05She doesn't owe money to the school.
10:07She doesn't have to be condemned for something that is alien to her, Maestra.
10:12You are right, ma'am.
10:14Don't worry.
10:16I will personally take into consideration the effort you are making for your daughter.
10:21Thank you very much, Maestra.
10:23I'll check your schedule.
10:27Enough, Mom.
10:29You didn't have to force her to come.
10:31I don't want her to humiliate me.
10:33It's necessary, daughter.
10:35Let me go.
10:37Mom!
10:39Don't keep attacking Mrs. Mireya.
10:41She's a good person.
10:43And I wish you were a little more like her.
10:45Don't say stupid things.
10:47Mireya! Mireya!
10:49I demand that you leave shamelessly.
10:51You're ruining the reputation of the school with your mere presence.
10:53No, we're not leaving.
10:54Don't get my daughter involved in my affairs.
10:56She's on her own.
10:58Don't tell me.
11:00Hey, where do you think it's going to end?
11:02I don't know.
11:04And you don't even care.
11:06The only thing that is clear right now is that my daughter has earned the right to continue studying.
11:08And I'm not going to lose it because of the prejudices of a critic like you.
11:11Women like you don't deserve to be respected.
11:14Let me go.
11:16Whatever you say.
11:18Get off.
11:20No, but I didn't do anything.
11:25Ma'am.
11:27Ma'am.
11:29Run for help.
11:31The nurse is here.
11:33And what you just did is unacceptable.
11:35But I didn't want to.
11:37There's no justification.
11:39You're going to be fine, daughter.
11:41Don't worry, you're going to be fine.
11:43What are we going to do?
11:45I knew you were going to kill me.
11:47I knew you were going to kill me.
11:49I knew you were going to kill me.
11:51I knew you were going to kill me.
11:53Everyone looks so beautiful.
11:55Have a seat.
11:57Happy Navratri.
11:59Happy Navratri.
12:01Have a seat.
12:03And what's the matter?
12:05Everyone looks so beautiful in this Navratri festival atmosphere.
12:08There's a lot of love.
12:10But has anyone seen Elvish playing dandiya?
12:12No.
12:14You haven't seen it yet?
12:16I want the system to be updated.
12:19And I'm a Gujarati.
12:20A Gujarati can neither play dandiya,
12:22nor see the wrong Garba.
12:24So I'll teach you that. You learn.
12:26Okay.
12:46He knows a lot.
12:48I'll do this one too.
12:50I'll call the people who are comfortable with Arjun and Meli.
12:53Come on.
12:58Now play the music.
13:21Happy Navratri.
13:23Happy Navratri.
13:25Happy Navratri.
13:27Happy Navratri.
13:29I'm very sorry about what happened.
13:31I demand that Mrs. Alamos be dismissed from the presidency of the Family Parents Committee.
13:36But teacher, can I explain?
13:38No, Mrs. Alamos.
13:40The aggression you did to Mrs. Salinas is something that should not exist in any school.
13:45It will be as you order, teacher.
13:51The blow you received is superficial.
13:54The blood is usually very scandalous.
13:57But there is no need for stitches.
14:00Thank you, Miss.
14:02But I still feel a little dizzy.
14:05It's natural, but it will be fine.
14:07Don't worry.
14:11How do you feel, Mom?
14:13Better, honey.
14:15Yes?
14:16Yes.
14:17Hey.
14:18They told me that they are waiting for us at the address.
14:21Yes?
14:23I'll be right there.
14:25It's almost over.
14:29I'm glad to see that you were attended to and that you are well, Mrs. Salinas.
14:33Thank you, teacher.
14:35I'm already feeling better.
14:37Good.
14:39Before you arrived, I was ordering the principal to return Tania to school.
14:45With all due respect, teacher,
14:47but it was considered that the presence of the student is not appropriate for others.
14:52It was a wrong consideration.
14:55The young woman is an exemplary student.
14:58Her file supports it.
15:00And education has to change.
15:03We must teach our young people
15:06that women cannot be judged for gender issues
15:10or for the work they do.
15:11Much less that their children are judged
15:14and condemned for the acts of their parents.
15:17Well, I really proceeded by a decision of the committee of family parents.
15:23Well, don't make me doubt your ability to run a school
15:27when you don't know how to mediate between prejudices
15:30and the right to the study of a student.
15:34So Tania becomes a student of this high school again.
15:37Thank you, teacher.
15:39Thank you, mom.
15:41All this because you came to talk to teacher Villa.
15:44I would have gone even with the president himself
15:47until the injustice they had committed against you was remedied, daughter.
15:52I told you very ugly things.
15:54Forgive me.
15:56I realized when I saw you unconscious.
15:59Forgive me, mom.
16:01Forgive me.
16:03Forgive me.
16:05Forgive me.
16:07I love you.
16:38I love you too, daughter.
16:40I will always do everything I have to do for you to be okay.
16:44Although sometimes you don't understand it and you get angry.
16:54Thank you very much for all your attention, teacher Villa.
16:57There is so much to do in education and, well, you have to start with something, right?
17:02Yes.
17:03And well, now that we are no longer in the director's office,
17:06I take this opportunity to tell you that it would be good to check the security cameras
17:10because you are going to be very surprised by the director's behavior.
17:22Hello.
17:23Hello.
17:26I already presented my thesis and they approved it.
17:29Congratulations.
17:30Congratulations.
17:32Very soon I will get my degree in administration.
17:37How cool, mom.
17:39Congratulations again, daughter.
17:41Thank you, mom.
17:43And well, it's not the only good news, but one of my ...
17:45One of my ...
17:55My family says, help me.
17:58Seniors.
18:01Ladies.
18:06Come on.
18:55Hey, say hello. What are you waiting for?
18:58Take your time.
18:59Don't be a despot.
19:03Not now, never.
19:05You remember, last time?
19:16Here are the thin metal earrings.
19:34So, where are you traveling to?
19:37Kolkata.
19:38Really?
19:40You ...
19:41He offered me a good job.
19:45Yes.
19:47Next week I start working as a full-time administration assistant.
19:51Congratulations, mom.
19:53I'm proud of you.
19:55Again I ask you to forgive me.
19:58I'm so happy to be your daughter because you are a great mother.
20:03And you are the best daughter.
20:05I love you, mom.
20:07Well, I ...
20:09I came ...
20:11Well, I wanted to propose something to you.
20:13And?
20:14But, well ...
20:16I mean, now that you're an administrator,
20:19maybe you don't want to.
20:22And what do you want to propose to me?
20:25Let's be a couple.
20:28I'm divorced.
20:30And ...
20:31Well, I've been falling in love with you lately.
20:34With the deal.
20:36And the truth is that ...
20:39I love you with all my heart.
20:40I also fell in love with you, Armando.
20:42Yes?
20:43And of course I accept to be your girlfriend.
20:51Oh, no, grandma.
20:54Oh, no, grandma, how uncomfortable.
20:57You see it.
20:58You see it.
21:11Women have always been judged for gender reasons.
21:15Without knowing the reasons for our actions.
21:18Just for being women.
21:20That has to change.
21:22Mothers are brave,
21:24determined,
21:26capable of doing what we have to do for the good of our children.
21:29And even though we are alone,
21:32we are enough for them not to lack anything.
21:35We strive to be better every day,
21:37and that their life is happy and full.
21:40Because they have a lot of mother.
