1
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:23,760
MY TURN

2
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,840
BASED ON A TRUE STORY

3
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,320
Ok, no cuts.

4
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:36,440
Ok, let's start again.

5
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,000
Hello, my name is Pilar

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,200
and I’ve been living in democracy
with my partner for 10 years now.

7
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,920
President!! President!! President!!

8
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,240
You idiot!

9
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,840
I’m in charge now, you see.

10
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,920
I’m Pol, I’ve been in the opposition
for 3 months now.

11
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,320
You see, we don’t like arguing

12
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,040
Arguing it’s not worth it for us.

13
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,960
So when we started living together,

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,640
we decided to copy
the political decision-making model.  

15
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,120
Political rotation is the cornerstone
of most leading countries.

16
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:13,520
Hi!

17
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,560
So we held our very own general elections.

18
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,600
Pilar, 1 vote..

19
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,640
Pol, 1 vote.

20
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,960
After several failed attempts
and a lot of frustration, 

21
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,880
we decided to split the year in half
and take it in turns to rule.

22
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,160
In my 6 months, any rules or decisions
about the house are made by me.

23
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,240
I don’t check anything with Pol. 

24
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,040
It makes life so much easier.
Nothing to argue about…

25
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,720
…a lot of complaining though.

26
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,920
Of course I complain!
It’s my job! I’m against all changes. 

27
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,440
Like she never complains
when I’m in charge… 

28
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,640
Are you alright love? 

29
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,120
What she decides
is common sense, of course!

30
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,120
Daddy’s coming!

31
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,120
Some friends say
we’re not going anywhere like this. 

32
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,680
That we have no plans for the future.

33
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,800
That we alternate dictatorships.

34
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,480
But they spend most of their time arguing,
trying to “agree” on something

35
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,520
with which they’re never 100% satisfied.

36
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,200
On the other hand…
we live in bliss…

37
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,040
Half the year. 

38
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,160
Well, to be honest,
I’m a bit screwed at the moment 

39
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,280
Pilar doesn’t smoke,

40
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,680
so I have to go outside
every time I fancy a fag.

41
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,280
Three months ago, I had ashtrays
even in the shower! 

42
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,200
Now that our daughter’s six,
we’re back to voting again. 

43
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,200
We think it’s very important
for her education… 

44
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,960
Hey! Hey! Get down!
Get down from there, now!

45
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,160
That we think it’s very important
for her education

46
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,520
to be part of
the decision-making process.

47
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,520
Yeah… The girl, right!

48
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,280
It’s good for our daughter’s education.
Now that it’s her turn to decide! 

49
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,200
She’s using her power
to indoctrinate our daughter.

50
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,520
He’s telling her how to do this
and how to do that…all day long. 

51
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,320
It’s educating…, he reckons.
More like brainwashing, I’d say.

52
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,720
To win her vote.

53
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,120
When you take a stance,
that’s it, it’s for life. 

54
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,200
All that about getting older and wiser

55
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,000
making you change
the way you see things in life… 

56
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,720
Bull-shit!

57
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,360
Life’s like football.

58
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,720
You choose your team colours
when you’re a kid and it’s for life. 

59
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,720
We’re doing well…

60
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,360
In a few months’ time,
we’ll be doing even better.

61
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,520
