A NETFLIX REALITY SERIES
[indistinct chatter]
[festive music playing]
[Archie] We're a group of friends from Barcelona who love enjoying life.
[Aldo] Álex invited me to a party.
And if Álex invites you to a party, you have to go.
[music continues]
If Álex Agulló doesn't invite you to his party, you're nobody in Barcelona.
After 12 years working in public relations,
I better have an amazing contact list.
So even though I have one hell of a stinking hangover,
here we are again.
Lucía is an extremely outspoken person.
She's a classy thug.
I think of myself as someone who's sometimes nice and sometimes rude.
Combining the impossible is one of my fortes,
and I don't think I've ever managed a mix as impossible as this group.
I mean, old, young, totally different personalities.
I'd define my arrival at the party as normal.
I came with my boys.
As usual, surrounded by that wonderful army of kids
trailing after him, all looking so sharp.
Álex has brought us together in this Noah's Ark of the insane
and the disturbed divine.
Oh, yeah, ladies and gentlemen.
[in Spanish] Welcome.
[in English] The best party in town. The First Class Party, right here.
[scatting]
[all cheering]
[mellow music playing]
[lively music playing]
So, yeah, I'm Archie Alled-Martínez. I'm a designer from Barcelona.
I'm in a really good place, professionally, at the moment.
No, no, no, let... let me finish.
Now that he's been appointed Creative Director at Karl Lagerfeld,
you can imagine.
To paraphrase God,
"I don't think this means I'm somebody, but I guess I'm getting there."
- Thank you. - [all cheering]
I'm Clara Courel. I'm a fashion journalist.
Yeah, I'm sitting here, working.
- [Carola] Never been to the countryside? - Not while wearing four-inch Guccis.
[squeals]
Clara is a mix between the Baroness Thyssen and Paris Hilton.
I don't have any flaws.
I may look serious, but that's because of the Botox.
I refuse to laugh so I don't get wrinkles. That's it.
- [lively music playing] - [all cheering]
My name is Aldo Comas.
I'm a painter, a contemporary artist, a farmer.
I'm a real Renaissance man. I paint everything that comes to my mind.
Aldo loses it a lot.
- [clangs] - [screams]
Are you out of your mind?
- He's an asshole. - Will you shut up, already!
It's my turn. Sorry, girl. Pay attention, honey.
- When we do fight, it's intense. - Fuck!
He was Chinese! You just really like drama.
Arguments are the Tabasco of life. Otherwise, it would all be too plain.
First Class is about living fearlessly,
living life in poetry, passion,
elevating every single moment.
First Class isn't about money and luxury.
First Class is living on the edge of poetry.
[disco music playing]
[Archie] Our parties are nonstop.
Our parties are like a good disco song, they just fade away.
- [all cheering] - ["El Momento" by La Casa Azul playing]
[laughing]
Álex! Come on!
[music continues]
- Perfume for everybody! - [cheering]
[laughing]
[music continues]
[fireworks whistling]
[bursting, crackling]
[music fades]
[enchanting orchestral music playing]
LICEU THEATER
I'm Lucía Saez-Benito Ferrer. I've lived in Barcelona for 21 years now.
I have almost no family.
My true friends are my family.
I think I'm a happy woman
in spite of everything that's happened to me
and everything that I've overcome.
ART AND CULTURE LOVER
What can I tell you about myself is that I'm a super survivor.
That's it. That's all. [chuckles]
[intriguing jazz music playing]
[Archie] Okay, perfect, after that we need to fix the new trousers
using the new pattern.
Hi, guys. How are you?
I'm Archie Alled-Martínez. I'm a designer.
- That bouquet was for my table, all right? - Okay.
A year ago, I came back to Barcelona.
FASHION DESIGNER
I'm back home after being in Paris, and London, of course.
In one…
Leg…
In one leg, we'll have three pleats.
We're at my studio, we're at my workplace.
Oh, come on, don't leave stuff over here, honey.
I need to sit here, you know that.
I started in design as a fervent user.
And when I saw that this could be it,
that there could be room for me in this business,
I stole my mother's credit card and bought myself a flight
and paid for a course to study in London for a weekend.
And in that exact moment, I said, "Wow."
"This is my thing, 100%. I want to do this."
Turn around.
Mm, it's not working.
I never had a plan B.
My plan A was always studying at Saint Martins.
This may sound a bit pretentious,
but it's like the first step of becoming a…
a legend, I guess.
[lively traditional music playing]
[Aldo] I'd like to be remembered as a free spirit
who loved, who knew how to love,
and who left a mark.
It's important to leave a mark in life, at all costs.
This is freedom in its truest form.
I'm Aldo Comas. I'm a painter.
I studied media communications, and then worked in a production company.
ARTIST
I started my own company.
Then I worked in the business, and eventually I retired from business,
disappeared from the world, and I moved to the mountains.
[ululating]
[animals bleating, neighing]
[scats] Come on.
Well, at home, we have three alpacas, they are Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar.
We also have a pig called Patatas. There's also a cow called Barbie,
a goat called Mantequilla, an ostrich...
Well, it's not an ostrich, it's an emu called Pirulín.
I think that in order to be in touch with nature,
you have to live at least one cycle off of it, in it,
in a nature that surrounds you, not in the park in front of your house.
That's when, after taking the same route every day,
you see a little flower blooming, you see all those changes,
that's when you really understand nature and living the dream.
[elegant classical music playing]
- Sorry, sorry, sorry. - I gave this 18 laps.
[kissing]
- It's beautiful, isn't it? - Yeah.
Well, Álex Agulló is a very good friend of mine.
Lucía is not a difficult person.
It's easy to love her and vice versa,
but sometimes she can be complicated to deal with.
He's my brother, my son, my uncle, my friend, a little bit of everything.
You're dealing with someone who's very experienced.
We don't really know how old she is.
She's sort of…
between adolescence and dead.
[Marc sighs] Late, as usual.
[operatic music playing]
- I'm sorry. - Oh, no, no, I just got here.
- I'm sorry. - Oh my, you look great!
I've never been here.
- [Clara] Oh, never? - No.
- Hi. How are you doing? - It's so good to see you.
I feel I wanna cry.
- Look at you, all fashion. - Yeah, you look good.
People don't dress up to come to the opera anymore.
Right? It's such a shame they don't dress up.
- Now they come in jeans and a T-shirt. - Not me.
I come to the Liceu a lot, so I feel, kind of, at home.
Lucía usually doesn't finish operas if they're too long.
Halfway through the second intermission, she's gone.
Come on, let's toast to you, Lucía.
- Thank you very much. - And to you.
- For this reunion. - Cheers!
[traditional guitar music playing]
[Archie] Not this. You wore that the first day.
- This one? - Look at these pants.
Yeah, this one was for Harry Styles, but I don't like it anymore.
Been there, done that. No, next.
…Sam Smith, we've also dressed Pharrell Williams…
Another moment that was memorable
was when Miley Cyrus wore an outfit from the latest collection.
I'm going through a great streak.
Those pants, they look saggy.
Use a belt.
Wear that handkerchief properly.
Honey, we're working on excellence, and you're a mess.
Álex is my assistant and my fitting model.
I always define Álex as the worst assistant ever.
As an assistant, he's a zero.
What's this?
This trash is the kid's perfume.
- [chuckles] - Ugh.
Here, locker room.
There's nothing worse than a bad perfume.
It could ruin my day. Álex's perfume is terrible.
When I first met Manel…
ARCHIE'S MODEL AND ASSISTANT
…I was quite surprised
because he had such a strong personality.
No, no, no, let me finish.
If... If you have a look... If you have a look at my email,
you'll see exactly what I asked,
and it's absolutely nothing like the piece of shit you sent.
I look at Álex, and I see myself in him, you know?
I was like him.
I would say that we identify with each other.
We're very different, but at the same time, very similar.
As for the girls, we tell each other everything.
He's a player.
- Álex? A total player! - No, that's not true.
But how dare you say that?
- You're a player. - I'm a good guy.
He really cares about you.
Of course I do. How could I not care about you?
[chuckles]
I do. I mean, I'm so gentle with you. I treat you better than myself.
[chaotic piano music playing]
I've always said that I'm a Renaissance man
in the postmodern world.
One day, I started painting. Two months later, I started selling.
Got a deal with a gallery in Majorca, we almost completely sold out,
and that's when I said, "I'm happier with this,"
because finally my character was justified.
So, art is everything.
- [man singing] - [dramatic opera music playing]
[Also] So far, Christianity and culture have traced a straight line,
"What do you have to do to be a better person?"
Art has a triangular evolution.
There's a parallel current that says, "Hey, wait."
The world's not just a god, or a guide, or a master or a guru.
And whatever you do has to be based on a triangle.
I have art, I have heart, and then I have the logic.
You can change it for passion.
[man continues singing]
[Aldo] I've never known how I started painting.
It was something that came to me from inside.
Some say that maybe I was a painter in other lives.
There's something moving your hands, and you don't know what it is.
Fuck the world.
Art should rule everything.
[man continues singing]
[music crescendos]
[music fades]
[sirens wailing in distance]
[whimsical music playing]
- Good morning, boss. - Hello, Rose, how are you?
- [Rose] How did you sleep? - Badly.
I've always slept poorly ever since my mother died,
and she died in 1985.
A very smart doctor gave me sleeping pills.
I started taking pills then, and I have never stopped.
- Thank you. - [Rose] You're welcome.
I was robbed on November 1st.
A guy grabbed me from behind and stole my watch.
And he gave me the worst beating ever.
I had surgery on my leg.
And when they did the pre-op,
they found out that I had a tumor.
I had surgery on my lung,
and then all of a sudden, I had a brain hemorrhage.
Once I was well,
they opened my head again
because in one of the checkups, where you always go scared to death,
they found something.
But so far I've survived.
I don't know what I'm made of.
[chuckles]
[doorbell buzzing]
- Hello. - Hello.
Good morning.
- How are you? - Is she ready?
- No. - Hello.
- How are you? You're so late. - Late?
- Yes. - She just told me you haven't packed.
- But... - Why haven't you packed?
- I packed a little. - Get you anything?
- Black coffee. - [Lucía] Thank you.
I'm Álex Agulló, I'm 31 years old, and I work in communications.
ENTREPRENEUR AND PR
I also help my friends organize things.
It's like, I think I'm the leisure guide and organize things for everyone.
Among those things, I'm taking care of my friend Lucía's end-of-summer party.
I have many friends and they're scattered all around.
Throwing a party, it's an excuse to see them.
- I've spoken to the people at the house. - [Lucía] Yeah?
Everything's okay.
I told them we'd be there by noon,
but since we're late, we'll be there after lunch.
Wait, I didn't ask, what happened with Morrison?
Ugh, he was playing and got his eye gouged out, the poor dog.
Morrison came into my life
when my other Bichon called Alf passed away.
He was my most beloved dog.
I left for a moment, the room where the dogs were playing,
and when I got to the kitchen, that's when I heard Morrison yelling.
Oh, poor thing.
Yeah, they kept his little eye.
And they put it back in. They just sewed it up.
They put it back in and then what?
You know, if the eye is out of the socket for more than two hours,
the dog would never see again.
- And how long was it? - Not even an hour.
- And the people there? - They all started crying.
I've cremated two.
Alf, whose ashes are over there,
and Morgan, the other.
I always say, "Well, I'll keep these for when I die."
"They'll be thrown with me into the flames."
About Lucía's party, I thought, "I'm gonna put together a group of people
who maybe they don't know each other that well
or don't have that much of a relationship, but I think it might work."
We'll see how it goes.
- Darling, you're sitting on the jackets. - Oh, sorry.
Lucía party equals uncertainty. Álex, what are you doing?
She throws a party, but she may not show up.
"Where is Lucía?" You don't know.
You're at the party, everything's organized,
but Lucía's not there.
When I go to something that Lucía organized,
I expect absolutely nothing.
That looks cute, babe.
I shouldn't go. I have a lot of work to do.
- [Gonzalo] And do we know who's going? - [Archie] No, I actually have no idea.
And what if all of a sudden there's someone who matches?
- Matches who? - You.
I match myself, and that is more than enough.
We don't know who's going. There might be someone interesting...
There'll be lots of interesting people.
It's probably the worst time to go to a party,
but I can't say no.
[pleasant string music playing]
- [Rose] Here are the options. - [Lucía] Let's see.
- What'd be comfortable for the beach? - Well, that one.
- [Álex] This one? - [Lucía] That one.
- And these with the little high heel. - All right, let's do these.
- Do you put lotion on them? - On what?
[Álex] Just wondering.
- And that one. - Look, the ones from the wedding.
[Lucía] Oh, yeah, let me see.
- Is this the YSL? The old YSL, right? - Yeah.
[Lucía] Okay, thank you.
We met about 12 years ago at a friend's club.
Upstairs there was a disco,
and downstairs there were some private rooms.
And around 2:00 a.m. we went downstairs,
- and we realized we were locked in. - It was 8:00 a.m.
- Everyone was looking for us. - Yeah.
Our friends were calling us and the police,
'cause they couldn't find us and we were locked inside.
[Lucía chuckles]
- Since then… - There was no signal.
They called us and we couldn't answer.
…we've been close.
- Until now. - Yeah.
- All right, we've arrived. - Yes, ma'am.
I'll see where we put everything because I know you.
- I love it. - You like going over even the napkins.
- I ordered some wine. - Not whiskey?
And the whiskey you like, not bourbon.
[elegant classical music playing]
- I really love this area. - [Ferran] And the house.
The view's amazing.
We can have the cocktails downstairs. I think it'll be great.
- On that terrace? - Down there.
- [Lucía] It's gonna be epic. - [Álex] Ooh!
Look who it is, the Olsen sisters.
- [Lucía] The Pecos! - Oh, a vintage reference.
I can finally introduce you. Álex, this is Lucía…
- I know you wanted to meet her. - Nice to meet you.
How are you?
I knew how complicated it was to come here, of course.
The new collection, the production of the old collection,
the Káiser project, which I can't talk about at the moment.
And on top of that,
I have an assistant who is more of an "ass-istant."
Hon, I don't know what I'm doing here.
I can't be here, but I can't miss it either.
- Such a handsome assistant. - Right?
Lucky you. Where did you get him?
You won't believe it. He was my fit model.
[Lucía] Was he?
Then I found out he was studying fashion design.
He's a very nice person.
Well, if you work that well, we'll steal you from him.
- Cute bracelet. - Did you know Morrison is ill?
For real? What happened?
- He lost one eye, poor thing. - [laughs]
- It's true. - Don't laugh.
- It can't be true. - I swear.
- What happened? - They put it back in.
The thing is that he might not see.
[chuckles] I'm sorry. Come again?
- He was playing with a big bitch. - A big bitch like you.
[Lucía] No, like you. You are such a bitch.
You have to go to her house.
- It's a huge experience. - Come on.
Starting with Rose, the woman who works with her.
Just so you understand, Rose gives more orders in the house than her...
And now that I've hired her husband,
she has an intern, but I'm the one paying for it.
- Hey, be nice. - [laughs]
I took her to the opera because she likes all the things I like.
And because my favorite opera is Madame Butterfly, she likes it too.
So the three of us went to the opera,
and Fernando and her looked like the bosses,
- and I looked like the assistant. - [laughs]
- You are such a drama queen. - She wore heels…
- Absolute drama queen. - She looked stunning.
- What are you wearing tonight? - Let's get her out of those jeans.
I'll think of something.
Well, we brought some pieces from the showroom.
Why don't we take a look. Álex, come.
- No to everything. - Girl, I already know.
- Look at this marvel. - What a start!
- An illusion! A Moorish dream! - It's so cute. You wear it.
It doesn't matter if I show her 300 dresses
or the best dresses in the world,
she knows exactly what she wants, and she'll say no to anything else.
- You would look gorgeous. - [Álex] Beautiful.
I sleep in Little House on the Prairie nightgowns.
How am I gonna wear this in public?
Well, this one's much more casual. You can't say no to this.
It's more her thing.
You need to see it. Try it on. Let's see if it suits you.
I'll try it on later.
What I like most about Lucía
is the determination
with which she defends a leatherette Game of Thrones bag
mixed with a Valentino haute couture.
I've witnessed that and I love it.
- [elegant string music playing] - Welcome.
- How are you? - Hello!
- The highway had lots of curves. - You drive me crazy.
- How are you, handsome? - Good, and you?
What, did you bring a parachute?
I brought it 'cause I'm gonna tell you my great adventure.
I take my parachute on all my trips.
You never know if there's a plane you can jump from.
And if you're on one and something happens,
that's the way to get off fast.
- Take that off, I want to see you. - Hey, hey, be patient.
We can sit at the table.
I felt like I was hanging out with a walking lamp.
Finally. Manel, Aldo…
- How are you? - Great.
- [Álex] We'll just leave this here. - [Aldo] Pleasure.
When I first saw Aldo, I recognized myself.
He's one of us. He's a player.
- Should I take it off? - [Archie] Yes, please.
Okay, then.
- [Archie] Gorgeous! - Thank you.
- Great outfit. - My hair's not a mess?
[Archie] No, you look perfect.
My name is Clara Courel.
I'm 52 years old.
Clara is a dream girl, a fashion legend in Spain.
When she walked in with that lamp on… Amazing.
Let's say it's one of the most photographed hats
in the national and, well, even international press.
I've heard so much about you.
- All bad things? - No, all good.
He's a genius. He's like me, a bon vivant.
I've been gossiping about you.
They told me this guy's coming, and he knows a lot about fashion.
You make really cool stuff.
[Archie] Well, step by step.
In fact, please stand up, because we have here a living model.
- [Clara] Oh, excuse me. Yeah, looks good. - Yeah, looks amazing.
- Ah, I see, he's your muse. - Yes, my little tasty muse.
This moment we are living in First Class
is like a dream come true,
because all my life I also wanted to be an actress.
I actually have several characters.
One is Lara Brothel, my drag queen alter ego.
And also characters without a line.
Doing, like, fast…
It's very hard to explain. Yeah, stuff like this, right?
[gasps]
I love that world. Silent movies should come back.
[elegant orchestral music playing]
[Álex] Oh, wow, look how gorgeous!
- [Amanda] So beautiful. - [Archie] I know.
- Our first time we make it on time. - Hello.
- [Ferran] Oh my! - [Amanda] Hello!
- [Archie] So beautiful! - [Carola] Oh, what a rush!
Be careful with the bags.
You guys knew each other already, right?
I know Carola and Aldo didn't know each other, but the rest?
Carola… sexy queen.
She's gorgeous.
I noticed she has Scarlett Johansson's lips.
I don't know, Scarlett's are better, right? I think…
I'm Carola Etxart Panno. I'm from Barcelona and I'm a designer.
I'm very happy that she invited me to the party
because there are only a few of us, and that means we are the important ones.
Where's Lucía?
- She's the host and she's always late! - I wouldn't wait for Lucía.
- Go ahead and have fun. - Yeah, let's do that.
It's her party.
Because, honey, we might be waiting until 2025.
She's capable of not showing up at her own party, that's incredible.
I'm Amanda Portillo.
I'm a designer, illustrator, an artist in general,
and I own a clothing brand called AS IF Clothing.
Well, Amanda is a Super Power Girl.
I like her a lot.
I find her very cute and nice.
She also dresses very well.
And I like people who dress well, that's important.
Aldo is a very intense person. I love people like that.
But I don't think I could spend a week with him. [laughs]
[dramatic opera music playing]
[Archie] Give me a break! The royalty is here!
- [Ferran] How are you? - [Zaida] Fine, thanks, and you?
- [Álex] Welcome. - [Zaida] What a beautiful place.
I need a glass of wine.
[Ferran] Want a drink?
- Nice to meet you. - A pleasure.
I am Marc and this is Zaida.
We are between London and Barcelona.
- We live between London and Barcelona. - We live between London and Barcelona.
Álex Agulló brought us into this group of friends.
He knows how to put together groups that are a melting pot.
It's eclectic and you wonder, "How did they all get to the same place?"
I spend a lot of time
and put a lot of love trying to get the right people together.
And here we are, what a cocktail.
…talk about art, I've been told that you're in the business,
and I've been painting for a while now.
In fact, I left everything to devote myself to painting.
I have an art consultancy.
We're part of a gallery based in London.
It's a parachute painted by me, because I am also a painter.
I've devoted my life to jumping out of airplanes and painting.
- Seven thousand jumps... - What?
- Wow. Seven thousand? - Yes.
I threw such a party. I throw a lot of parties.
- I like that. Party boy. - On my farm.
- It's getting interesting. - [Carola] Wasn't expecting that.
And... And listen to me, please, it's very important.
- I want to invite you all to that party. - Thank you so much.
But that's not all.
- Leitmotif is "the party of art." - [Clara] Oh!
I want the whole day you live with me when you come to my house
to be an art party.
In which everything that happens has to do with the deepest part of our soul,
the food, the music, the paintings we are going to see.
Everything is going to be part of a happening, of a performance.
This way we can also get to know his inner world.
- His work… - See his studio, what he is creating.
You'll see, it's gonna be huge.
- [Clara] Lucía! - Where is she?
She's taking her time.
[all chanting] Lucía! Lucía! Lucía!
[all cheering]
[Archie] Come down!
[Lucía] I'm scared.
- [all laughing] - Stop it.
- I'll be right down. - [Álex] I love her.
And you, thanks for organizing this cool thing.
- A toast for Lucía. - Of course.
- A toast. - A toast.
- [Zaida] Cheers. - Whoo-hoo!
- [man] Cheers. - [chuckles]
When she sees us all together, her face lights up.
That's all she wants.
Then she disappears and does what she pleases.
- [Amanda] Not done yet. - [man] Needs five more minutes.
But it's already scorched.
You did tell me this was going to be a lobster,
- and this is definitely a shrimp. - Don't touch it.
- Just be careful, they're still alive. - Don't touch the food, please.
Not onion. It's healthy for the dick, but not in paella.
Where've you seen paella with onions?
Gonzalo is helping me with the production for the new event,
and it has nothing to do with what I've done so far.
For the record,
I'm working right now.
I'm on my phone sending emails. I'm even launching garments online.
- Salt. - It needs salt. I can tell by smelling.
- Really? - I also cook paella.
- Ah. - You paint, cook.
- Like the queen of pop. - I jump from planes.
I paint, I cook, I listen to music.
I am a Renaissance man in the postmodern world.
Well, I'm sure he's really good at what he does.
- [all laughing] - [Zaida] To put up with you, dude.
- To put up with me? - You have a temper.
I'll talk to him later, poor thing.
- Well, he's not really... - Hey, watch it, you little nutcase.
What do you mean? Don't talk to me like that in public.
- Needs salt. - What do you think of that one?
I told you, it's really good…
- It's interesting. - …but it needs salt and rosemary.
- Don't do this! I hate it. - Let's see?
That move's so tacky, I hate it to death! No!
- We'll let you know. - Good luck.
Bye, darling.
[elegant orchestral music playing]
Dear, the rice was exquisite, but listen to me,
do you have flies registered as living at this estate?
They all complain about the flies.
When they come to my house, I have three alpacas, an ostrich,
a goat, a sheep, a cow,
and more things out there I can't remember.
So they'll just have to manage.
More flies!
I like to have a surprise at parties, and the tarot reader was the best plan.
[mysterious music playing]
So you're a Scorpio. What date did you say?
October 26th.
- Okay, so you are Scorpio… - At 3:00 p.m.
…end of October, and you're also...
- Aquarius rising. - Right.
All right, The Devil and the Tower on top
tell us that the things that worry you will disappear.
- Well, that's wonderful. - Exactly, now let's see…
The cards show you'll do well at work.
Hey, that's wonderful.
- It's showing me more. - There's more?
You may run into obstacles at work, but things will turn in your favor.
She was right and I said nothing.
You have to be careful with a woman.
A friend.
I know for a fact that Amanda and Carola were a couple,
but I don't know if they're together now or not.
I don't think so.
There is someone here, also young.
- Oof. - Eh?
Instead of a friend, she could be an enemy.
Jealousy, envy, that kind of thing.
I mean, I'm freaking out that she said that to Amanda.
I can't believe it.
Carola and I broke up some time ago.
When the tarot reader told me that there is a person I have been with,
a girl who is jealous of me,
who is envious of me, Carola came to everyone's mind.
I can't stand her sometimes.
I block her on my cell phone once a week,
but that doesn't mean I'm jealous of her, or envious or anything.
Maybe she thinks it's me.
[reader] You'll have a long life.
When you get older,
your weakest point will be your heart, likely the blood pressure or...
Ah, blood pressure.
How scary.
You'll make a lot of money.
I'm telling you off the record. You didn't have to ask, I'm telling you.
"A lot of money." And I said, "That's what I like."
Obviously, it was a good thing, of course, and, I mean, this lady is a professional.
She got it all right.
Marc, about your family…
Yeah?
Here comes the drama.
[chuckles] No, not drama, but there may be
- a problem with your partner. - Little things.
- Regarding the tarot reading and all that… - He doesn't believe in it.
I would like to know how soon, more or less,
you see me getting pregnant.
I'm quite connected to this whole world.
[reader] I can see there's some sort of impediment,
at first glance.
Hold on.
She didn't mince words when it came to telling me things,
and I thought some things she said were a bit inappropriate.
Do you have bone issues?
Not that I know of… I mean…
I'm healthy.
Okay, but have you got any joint pain or something similar?
That I would have a bone problem and I should see a doctor.
I don't know, I think I'm still very young.
Suddenly I felt in my eighties.
- Am I going to get married someday? - Let's see.
The cards will tell me exactly what the future holds.
- Really? I'm very nervous. - Mm-hmm.
I'm already thinking about the dress.
It is quite possible that you will marry your partner,
but throughout your life there will be another man.
- Wow! - Taxi!
She tells me that I'm going to marry Hugo and then meet another man.
I can't accept that.
And that's for sure.
I think the wedding will be with the first one,
and then we'll see.
Now I'm worried about this.
I told her that she should have her cards checked,
because I can't believe what she told me.
I don't want to leave him, and I don't want him to leave me.
I can't imagine life with someone else.
- [reader] I see you practice sports. - Yes.
- Some of them are extreme. - I jump out of planes.
She said, "You practice extreme sports."
And I said, "Girl, you've seen me carrying a parachute for five hours."
There can always be a jump where you have to be more careful.
I've seen death up close many times.
All the more reason to be even more careful.
I'll do what I can.

Oh!
[exciting disco music playing]
[disco music continues]
[music fades]
[adventurous string music playing]
All right, we have a very important mission.
- Ugh, I'm not awake enough for a mission. - No?
No, I'm not a morning person.
I woke up at 7:00 a.m. today and did yoga.
It's just that I take care of myself in general.
I don't have any kind of hangover
because I don't drink alcohol or smoke anything.
Then I worked.
I sent out thousands of emails. Well, ten.
Lucía said we must do a Sherry Mary.
Do you know what that is?
- For the hangover? - Yeah.
- It's sherry and vodka. - Sure.
And we have to buy things for the boat too.
Oh, we're going on a boat.
I mean, I've always said that hangovers are better on a boat
with a Bloody Mary or a Sherry Mary.
I don't know.
Can't do a classic Bloody Mary with vodka. Has to be a Sherry Mary.
I'd have loved being on the boat.
It's a pity, but I can't because of my schedule.
I have the works at home, the hotel moving, I just can't.
Oh, look, a shop. I love shops.
Let's take some… Do you like the gray ones?
I'll take this.
I like the blue one.
[Carola] Where are you going with so many?
[Aldo] I have a problem. When I go in a store, I have to buy.
- Wait, let me get in. - Yeah, come.
If you have the option you should sail,
because the sea heals a lot, as Hemingway said.
The salt, the water, the wind… The sea heals everything.
Our parties never end.
Our parties are like a good disco song, they just fade away.
[exciting disco music playing]
Hey, Álex, why is Lucía not here?
[Zaida] Well, she was with us enough yesterday.
Yeah, well, Lucía has been so on fire for two days,
and I knew there was going to be a moment at some point when she would need to stop.
- To Lucía. - To our host.
And to this amazing weekend. Seriously, thanks, guys.
- She must be super tired. - Totally.
It doesn't eat dog food,
it's an atrocity, it's old-fashioned, it eats the same as us, the same menus.
[Clara] That's worse, because then…
He's seven years old and look at his face.
My friend Macarena
used to buy a roast chicken at the supermarket for her pet.
- [Aldo] That makes sense. - For the dog?
Roasted chicken every week.
You have to be careful,
because chicken bones can be dangerous if dogs eat 'em.
[suspenseful music playing]
- Hand me that. Give me the orchid. - Same old story.
You take the basket.
Honey, we have to work on this.
We are always late.
- Ah. Wait, stop. Here. - Okay, here.
Sorry, my apologies. I'm sorry, it's always the same.
And I told you to take only the essentials.
- Here, this goes here. - This?
- Please, be careful with the orchid, okay? - Sure.
Great, thank you.
- My apologies. Thank you very much. - No problem.
- Oh, you're so kind, thanks. - Good morning.
I'm in my new home. At least temporarily.
Until my home is finished, I'll settle here at the Majestic Hotel.
Good morning. Welcome to the Majestic Hotel.
Oh, thank you very much. You are so kind.
Did you have a reservation?
Yes, we booked the, uh… the Royal Penthouse for a long time.
Of course, and would you be so kind as to provide me with your passport?
I don't know if I have it.
The arrival was quite messy, to say the least.
I lost it in Paris. Don't you remember?
Oh jeez. I'm not sure if I have the passport here.
I have this one. I hope it works for you.
- Okay. - Because it's expired.
I'm a complete disaster,
and Álex is a disaster and a half, just imagine that.
Here's this. I used to have long hair. It's still me, though.
- You've changed your look? - Yeah.
It's fake.
It's not fake!
He packed my bags unwillingly.
He didn't want to help me. I understand that it's not his job.
He's too talented to be packing someone else's bags.
I get that. But I can't do it alone.
Hello, Mr. Alled-Martínez.
- I'm Santiago. - Hello. Good morning.
- Great to have you here. - Nice to meet you.
This is Álex. He works with me. He is here to help me move.
The Majestic Hotel is the most historic five-star hotel in the city.
[gasps] Amazing. I love it. I just love history.
Could you send me the massage and treatment menu?
Because I've had a very rough week.
- He'll have the card. - [woman] Welcome to the hotel.
- Enjoy. - [Sáez] Thank you very much.
- [regal music playing] - [Aldo] Ah, yes, finally!
- [all cheer] - [woman] Awesome.
- Ah, perfect. - Thank you.
- [Amanda] This is a must. This is great. - [Aldo] Yeah. It's good for the hangover.
- I've had nothing done. - Your boobs! Liar.
[all laughing]
That's true. The only fake thing I have are my breasts.
- Round of applause for Zaida's boobs. - They're great.
They are beautiful.
Bravo, beautiful. Can I eat now?
Just to clarify, I didn't get implants. I had a breast reduction.
- Just so you know. - Okay, it's different.
- I had inhuman boobs. - Seriously?
I'm telling you, I was a size 52.
- [Carola] A 52? - A 52. I could float.
- I'd never have guessed. - If you have big boobs,
can you donate to a person who has smaller boobs?
And make everything organic, like eco-friendly?
For the sake of being eco-friendly,
I wonder, when you have a breast reduction,
can they donate the extracted boob to someone else?
Like in India, where they sell hair to bald people.
One of my implants turned upside down.
Wait, what?
Since it had a tear shape, the wider part was on top.
Oh my God, no, that can happen?
I had a normal boob and an upside-down one.
Since I do so much yoga and Pilates, I did this and it flipped over.
Sport is not as good as they say.
- It's risky. - What did you all get done?
- My hair, 2,700. - [Amanda] Nice.
- My ears, $3,300. - He finally admitted it!
One day I had a hair implant because planes could land here.
So I got a whole plantation!
I have lots of hair on top and very little down here.
They planted seed in my head.
[Carola] You had your ears done?
Yeah, and when I was younger, I made them smaller, because I had…
I also had Botox in my armpits to avoid sweating.
- That's for the sweat. - Yeah.
People do it in their hands too.
I am totally in favor of plastic surgery.
I've had face lifts here and a little here, sometimes Botox…
But not right now, that's why I have wrinkles.
I don't laugh. A lot of people ask me why.
Well, it's so I don't get wrinkles.
I'm laughing right now. You have to see it in my eyes.
The most you'll see in me is like this.
When the sun hits me, I'm like this.
I'm sad? I'm like this.
You could tell me, "Look at the sun." I look at the sun and nothing happens.
[intriguing music playing]
[Archie] Thank you.
Well, this is your room, the Royal Penthouse.
[Archie] This is also connected?
- Two doors? - [Santiago] For room service.
[Archie] Ah, I see, thank you.
[Sáez] Thank you.
I loved it when I saw it. Thank goodness Álex got me the deal.
I spoke with Santi and the Majestic Hotel team,
and we got a good deal so he can stay there for a few weeks,
because it is going to be a few weeks.
Tell me. I'm very curious. Who else has stayed here?
Well, Barbra Streisand stayed here.
- I love her. - Robert De Niro…
And not in this room, but in the hotel,
we've had distinguished guests,
Antonio Machado, Federico García Lorca, Josephine Baker…
- I love Josephine Baker. - Wonderful.
- Well, thank you very much. - Thank you. See you.
- Not bad, huh? - [both laugh]
Come on, don't unmake the bed. Get up.
[Sáez laughs]
All marble!
Look, I'm Josephine Baker.
- How does this work? Let's see… - [Archie] What's this?
Careful.
I'm not a tech savvy.
And he's a reflection of me ten years ago, so you could imagine.
Two heads doesn't equal a brain.
- [beeping] - Curtains opening,
curtains closing, lights turning off, lights turning on…
That was like Mary Poppins.
[elegant string music playing]
It's going to be an art party.
But with a gymkhana or what?
I had thought of doing a bit of a country-Venice mix.
Country-Venice?
So you take the Carnival of Venice, and you take it to an Amish village.
- What are you saying? - Like a digital Amish.
- What? Excuse me? - Techno-Amish.
Country-Venice style.
It's like Amish-flamenco. What do you mean?
I understand that dress code as something completely contradictory.
So, for me, it's an excuse for us to do whatever we want.
Aldo's party is going to be a blast. I won't miss it.
But I'm nervous about the look.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Courel
with that lamp and those heels in the countryside.
I'm really looking forward to going to your studio.
And to give you visibility, to give you a push outside of Spain
so that you can really start to get more exposure.
Let's do it, my friend.
I think he has done a very special painting for all of us.
In fact, I think I'm going to ask Aldo to paint me.
Even naked. Not showing anything, but like this, in a pose like this.
I wouldn't mind.
[mellow music playing]
So what, I'm supposed to unpack this on my own?
Those are your things.
I only brought the essentials with me to the hotel,
which of course includes my orchid collection.
They're my favorites.
Look, here's a sculpture I made when I was 16,
inspired by my first relationship.
Listen, honey, could you do something? Call room service and get us a snack?
I grabbed what I could.
The sign book.
The sign book, it's like a religion for me, by Linda Goodman.
It also has a very cool thing,
it associates the signs of the zodiac with paragraphs from Alice in Wonderland.
A picture of my mother. [kisses]
And look, my uncle.
He was a real rascal.
And this. My first love from Madrid.
- Wait, who? - What the fuck do you care who?
[groans] Fucking technology. This isn't working.
Oh, hey, did you order cheese?
Disgusting, come on. You know I only eat crudités and hummus.
There is nothing more indigestible than a cheese platter.
[gasps]
Álex!
Look, the sign is right beneath us!
Are you nuts? We can't steal the Majestic letters!
He's insane.
He wanted to try and steal the letters. I mean…
Besides, they can't be removed, can they?
Can they?
No, you always have bad ideas.
Álex! Please! Idiot.
- [laughing] - Álex! No! Álex!
Álex, can you bring me a drink?
I'm thinking, we should organize something here.
Should I tell my friends?
Yes, but be careful who you bring. Careful who you bring!
[regal music playing]
Sorry I had to look at the horizon. Otherwise, I get seasick.
I wear a swimsuit that can't get wet and shoes that can't be worn.
I buy pieces because I like them.
And, because I'm afraid of water,
I say that it can't get wet
so they won't throw me in the water or tell me I have to swim.
I want the party to start with a parachute jump.
So, I told them that whoever wants to can jump with me.
Oh, I'm not going to jump.
I'm really sorry.
I do want to see the alpacas, though.
I think Amanda is going to jump. I think Álex might want to do it, too.
Archie won't.
At Aldo's party, I do hope that no one kills themselves parachuting.
Jumping is very safe, and hopefully I will convince everyone.
I have a few hours left to convince them. I'll try hard.
- Are you all coming to the hedonistic… - [Álex] Of course.
…existential, spiritual, holistic, magical, carnival art party?
He's a pain in the ass.
[Carola] It will be a pleasure.
- [Aldo] Are you coming or not? - [all] Yeah!
So look over there if you're so kind, sir.
- [Álex] Where? - [Aldo] A plane is coming for us.
[all laughing] No!
[Aldo] We're going to party!
- [Amanda] There it is. - [Aldo] It's right there.
Let's fly, then.
ON THE NEXT EPISODE…
- Shit! - [Carola] This tire's a bit flat.
- [Carola] Get inside. - [Clara] Be careful!
- [Carola] Amanda! - So cool!
There's no service today. We'll do it all by ourselves.
- Just tell me where I should cut it. So? - I don't know.
This garden is scary.
And, well, of course, I was there with my Gucci boots…
- [squeals] - Ah, what is that?
Hello. Good afternoon!
- Can we take some eggs? - I can't fit through!
I'm not happy.
- At least I didn't gain weight. - I don't care!
- At least a pound! - I know.
[Aldo] We'll cook some rice.
- I think the rice was horrible. - Listen up.
Yes? Let's start with the new collection.
What are the options?
What should I do, wipe my ass?
Tacky as fuck.
Constructing…
- Is deconstructing. - …is deconstructing.
Aldo is an artist, but he lacks methodology.
I do not appreciate being misunderstood in such a distorted way.
- The girl is getting violent. - What a mess.
