Part 2/9:
Set against the backdrop of Spain, the film opens with a troubling portrayal of Fran, depicted as a rude and disobedient teenager. His actions—the smoking, drinking, and insubordination—lead to a significant strain on Luis, who struggles to connect with his son. Fran blames Luis for his mother's abandonment, making their conversations an emotional battlefield. Luis, driven by concern, attempts to instill a sense of responsibility in Fran, but his efforts often fall on deaf ears.
