INT - DAY, in the waiting hall Levika walks over to the electric notice board, which is flipping over and over. She took off her sunglasses and carefully looked at the arrival time of the plane just called, and then walked to a row of empty chairs.

Her eyes became confused, and a net appeared on the screen, overlapping her face.

Levika: Mom, can you put on a line for me?

While Begi and Alberto were talking to Vendor B, Levica, who was standing beside them, suddenly noticed that one of the earrings she was wearing was missing, and she turned to look for the earrings.

Vendors (booing): Yeah, yes, (looking at each other) Why not?
Alberto (deliberately pretending to be sincere): Not a bad idea.
Begi: Alberto, please, what are you trying to do...
Alberto (to the sellers): How much do you give?
Seller C: 1000 coconuts.
Alberto (feigning surprise): 1,000 coconuts? (Looking at Levika) But this girl is worth a lot!
Sellers: 1000 coconuts... 1500 coconuts.

Beggi (la Alberto): Alberto, don't be annoying, please, let's go!
While Alberto and the sellers were barking at the price, Levica, feeling aggrieved and angry, left alone. Alberto and others did not notice her departure and were still arguing.

(V.O.): I need to get back to work, Alberto...
Alberto (voice-over): Work? You have to take care of the house! Enough is enough, the rest of the time is on your daughter, she lacks discipline.
Beggie's quarrel with Alberto upsets Levica, and she puts her hand on the spinning top.

Beghi (off-screen): What's so bad about a married woman being an actress? I know many such people.
Alberto (V.O.): If that's okay, I'll discuss it when I get back.
BEGI (V.O.): I don't want to discuss, Alberto, I'm taking the opportunity from Mexico.
Alberto (voice-over): You're dreaming...
Levika stood at the door of her parents' room for a while, then walked gently to the bathroom. The quarrel between Begie and Alberto never ceased.

Manuel: How can a woman as stylish as you go to Mexico?
Beige: I'm going to work, and for me, work is more important than being a fashionable woman.
Manuel: So what about taking pictures? Have you thought about it?
Beige: No. I've told you on the phone that we can talk about filming, but not taking pictures. My husband just passed away and I don't like that stuff...sorry.
Manuel: If I go to Mexico? Would you allow me to do an in-depth interview with you about filming?

Begi (holds Levika's hand): Ah, no, honey.
Levika (disgruntled): Why?
Beige: Because...
Father (taking Beige's words): Because little girls can't always travel, sometimes they should study, right?
Levika: But there are schools in Mexico too! A girlfriend told me...
Father: You really have friends!
BEGY (kindly to Levika) Come on, let's make a deal.
Revica (somewhat angry): Mom, you're making me feel bad...
Beige: Ah, baby, forgive me. Shall we make a deal? You let me go to Mexico to make a really good movie, and when I get back, we'll never be apart again. I promise you that.
Levika: I don't believe you.
Father (to Beige): Don't make promises to little girls that you can't keep.
Beige (to ex-husband): You're the most suspicious, eh?
Revica (stalking Beige): You have to promise to take me away now.
BEGY (to Levika): I know, darling. If mom doesn't go to Mexico, mom will be very unhappy, do you want mom to be unhappy?
Levika: I don't want to.

Revica (to Margarita): Glad... (handshakes Margarita) How are you?
Margarita (laughing): Nice to meet you... (holds Levika's hand) Your mother told me a lot about you...

Revica (turns back): None, don't worry, I don't want anyone to know the date of your arrival...
Begie (somewhat disgruntled): Why? I don't have a contagious disease...
Levika: I thought you didn't want to mess up the city.
Beige (involuntarily showing a displeased look): But, after so many years abroad, it is not every day that a person returns to his homeland! (points to the pretty hat) I don't wear a hat like this every day! I'm expecting some kind of waiting for me...
Levika (dissatisfied): I'm looking forward to you with deep anticipation.
Beige: Ah, really, baby, forgive me!

Levika: Then we can see each other often, right?
Beige: Of course, my dear! (Looking out the window) Holy Lord, this city has changed so much!
Levika: There are places you probably won't even recognize.
BEGY (looking out the window, with great emotion): I've seen it. My concern is that the city doesn't know me anymore (to Margarita in the front row) Maca, please stop recording now!
Margarita closed the notebook in her hand, and Beige lowered the soundproof glass in the middle of the car.
Levika (puzzling): Why did she record it?
Beige: In addition to taking care of me, she is writing my biography.
Revica (curiously): Am I also in the biography?
Beige: Of course! You are my daughter, why ask this?
Levica: I don't like my life being in a book that anyone can read...Will Manuel be in the book too?
Beige: No... (Begji lowers the curtains of the soundproof glass between the front and rear rows) But we should really talk about him. Why didn't you tell me that you were married to Manuel? I only found out by accident.
Levika: Wouldn't it be nice to forget all this?
Beige (unhappily): No! why don't you tell me?
Levika: I called you and told you I was getting married, do you remember?
Beige: I remember, but you didn't tell me you were married to Manuel.
Levika: Because you didn't give me a chance, before I told you who my fiancé was, you made it clear to me that you were too busy to come to the wedding (mother and daughter looked at each other)...Because of you Not interested in attending the wedding, I feel greatly hurt, so why should I tell you more details!

Sometimes I get scared because I feel like they're coming at me. Of course, I was only 5 years old and couldn't have you... (to Levika) You know what, I bought this house.
Levika (surprise): Ah, yes? So you want to stay in Madrid?
Begie: Yes, after Margarita and I get the house in order, we're going to move...
Margarita across the road shouts at Begie, the wall beside her is full of posters.

Begie (voice choked): You... (sadly tears) You're still love me?
Levika: I love you so much, Mom... (tears well up in her eyes)
Beige: I used to worry that you'd hate me.

Beige (exclamation): Ah... (touching her head with her hand) The earrings are hooking her hair...

of the planesickness... Levika (interrupting Beige): Mom, don't mention that... don't mention it, because, the most important thing is that we are together again, eh?

Revica (arguing): Manuel, as you know, she's very open.
Manuel (disdainfully): Either open, or what the fuck! I don't like that my wife's best friend is a crossdresser.
Beige: You're right about that...they're not bad people, but they lead a dirty life.

Lethal sings:
"Our relationship is over and you will regret breaking up the 365 days of love. If you leave me now, you will find that your days will be long and empty without me.
In that long long night Here, because you don't want to be alone, you will think of the beautiful moments when we were together, of my sweet kiss. In this moment, you will understand what love is for 365 days.

Revica looked at Manuel who was sitting beside him.
Manuel stared blankly at Letal's performance. INT - NIGHT - The audience applauds at the end of

the nightclub Letall's performance. INT - NIGHT - NIGHT CLUB show has just ended, LETAR comes out of the beaded curtain immediately, he comes to the table of Beige, Levica, and Manuel.




LEITAR (sits across from Beige and kisses Beige's hand): Beige! What a surprise! So embarrassed, I hope I didn't bother you...
Begie (smiling): It bothers me, why?
Lethal: Because some people don't like her imitating at all.
Beige: I like it, it makes me feel so young, so uninhibited... (raises Letal's head with hand) Look, let me see you, up close, you don't look like me, but you The expression looks like me... (Levica watched Betsy talking to Letal with interest, but Manuel, who was sitting next to her, was dismissive, and he lit a cigarette)
Letal : I try to learn your temperament, your style, and that's all I can do...
Begie: I used to be like this, but I've changed. I can't be a pop singer anymore at my age. Becoming a great female singer... (smiling triumphantly, Letal and Levika also laugh)
Letal: I know. But I prefer the past, wigs, miniskirts... (using finger wig) Your temperament, your style... (Gesturing while talking)
Begie: Oh, how interesting, I wonder if you're trying to discredit me, or Worship me...
Levika (rushing to say): It's not to discredit you, he worships you.
Manuel (sarcastically): Holy Lord, you should listen!
Revica (disgruntled) Okay, Manuel. I didn't mean to not introduce you to each other. (to Letal) Letal, this is my husband.
Beige (off-screen ): Manuel...
Leitard (faced coldly): Ah, it's this one, nice to meet you.
Manuel (unceremoniously): Hey, what's your real name?
Laitar: As in the Concha Biguele song...you call me whatever you want. My friends call me Letal.
Manuel (looks at Letal's thighs in miniskirt): Excuse me, Letal, are you a man or a woman?
LEITAR (pulls up miniskirt): It depends, I'm a man to you.
BEGY (to ease the tension, to Letal) Would you like to have a drink with us?
Lethal: No, thanks, I can't. I'm done with the show and I'm going to remove these things (meaning the wig and earrings). But I'd very much like to get one of your souvenirs...
Beggie: Autograph?
Laitar: No, I want your personal belongings, like your earrings.
BEGY (touching her earrings): Then I'd be bare.
Levika (to persuade Beige): Give it to him...
Beige: I'll give it to you, but you'll have to get something in exchange...
Lytal: Whatever you want?
MANUEL (interrupting): Ask him for fake breasts.
Beige: Yes, give me a breast.
Letal: The left one, or the right one.
Beige: Left breast... (joking) Heart breast. (several people laugh)
Lethal (takes the earring, takes out the fake breast from the left side of the chest and hands it to Begie): Thank you for the earring, thank you for all this, Begie, thank you...
Begie; thank you breasts, I have three breasts now.
Letal got up to go to the dressing room to remove makeup.
LEITAR (to Levika) Will you help me?
Levika: Yes, of course. (to Manuel) Do you agree? ...(rising to Letal) Well, you've got it all... (leaving with Letal)
Manuel (unhappily): What are you doing for him?
BEGY (consolation): Manuel, don't be mad, that lad won't hurt anyone.
Manuel: It's mad at Revica, she takes every little opportunity to insult me.
Beige: At dinner, she said she had reason to be jealous, is that true?
Manuel (lights a cigarette): Yes, you know me... (pushes up to Beige)
Beige: Still the same.
Manuel (tenderly): So are you, and I'm glad that neither of us has changed.
Begie: I've changed. You can't tell from a rough look, but I've matured.
Manuel: This song, it doesn't remind you of anything... (puts hand on Beige's back)
Beige: Too many things to remember.
Manuel: You and I still have some unfinished business, do you remember?
Beige (somewhat angry): How dare you, Manuel? Your insinuation insults me!
Manuel: Come on, Beige! You're never a womanizer...
Begie: So what kind of woman do you think I am?
Manuel: Well, a charming woman.
Beige: Ha! I've been an attractive woman for almost 50 years, then I believe I'm going to be a truly attractive person now.
Manuel: But who ever told you that you are not attractive?
Beige: I think you forgot, I'm your mother-in-law now.
Manuel: You are only for a short time, because I want to divorce Levika.
BEGY (surprised) Does she know?
Manuel: She knows, but she doesn't want to accept it.

NIGHT CLUB DRESS ROOM The dressing
room is a mess, Levika looks at her arms in the mirror.
LEITAR (V.O.): Get me the hairspray.
LEVICA (holding up the hairspray on the table): Okay, what more?
Lytal: By the way, and the comb... Levika, can you unzip the zipper for me?
Levika: Okay... (stands behind Letal to help him unzip his coat, takes off his coat, and helps Letal untie his belly belt) Oh, how uncomfortable it is to wear so many things!
Laitar: Yes, but in order to get in good shape, you have to endure a little bit.
Levika: I can't stand it, but I can't say how good I am.
Lytal: Levika, listen to me, is my imitation of women getting in your way?
Levika: Stop me? why? On the contrary, you imitate my mother, I am very happy.
Lytal (teasingly): For you, I want to be someone closer than a mother... (Takes off her bra, topless)
Levika: What are you talking about... (Face to face with Lytal standing) Come on, it's yin enough.
Lethal: Will you help me take off my stockings?
Levika: Okay (squatting in front of Letal to help him take off her stockings, her face is on Letal's belly), yeah, there's a mole on your penis...
Letal: Born Yes...
Laitar suddenly picked up Levika and kissed her.
Levika (breaks away from Lai Tal): Hey... (steps back) Okay, Lai Tal, (Lai Tal hugs Revica, Levica breaks free) My clothes! Let me go...
Laitar: Come on...
Levika: Let me go... (backs up and hangs in the air with a horizontal pole in hand) Hey, help me down, you didn't see I'm wearing high heels, can a fall break my ankle?
Laytar: If you spread your legs, it will be more comfortable to go down... (spreads Levika's legs hanging in the air with her hands) Let me...split the legs...
Laytar ignores Levy Ka's resistance, forcefully separated Levika's legs, and kissed Levika's lower part violently. Levika, who was hanging on the horizontal pole, no longer resisted Letal's kiss, and she seemed to gradually become impulsive. Lytal took Levika down and the two kissed each other.
Lytal sat on the chair with Levika in his arms, and Levika hugged him tightly.
Laitar (excitedly): I tell you...
Levika: Laytar, what did you say... (the two embrace each other ecstatically) What are you doing? ...(emotional) Lethal... don't touch me, I've been abstinent for 4 months...
Letall and Levika have sex in the dressing room, a plate falls on the floor...

Interior, night club hall
Beige and Manuel were still sitting in the hall.
BEGY (to Manuel): Why did Levika go so long?
Manuel (sarcastically): Your daughter is unpredictable.
BEGY: She's like me

in that... INT - NIGHT - NIGHT CLUB DRESSING ROOM Levika
is arranging her clothes. She wiped the stain from her evening dress, reapplied lipstick, and brushed her hair.
Laitar: I've wanted to do this for a long time...
Levika: I thank you very much, I actually need it too. But this kind of thing can't happen again, eh?
Lethal: Why?
Levika: Because I'm married and I love my husband.
LEITAR (contemptuously) Love that devil?
Levika: Yes, love that devil. Besides, I don't know anything about your situation, I don't even know what your name is, where you live...
Letall: That's easy, I'll give you my address and phone number right away...
Levika : Letall, things should take their course, to be honest, don't complicate my life... There
was a knock on the door.
Levika hurriedly packed her clothes and prepared to leave.
Lethal: Are we still meeting?
Levika: I don't know... (goes to the dressing room door)
Lytal: Where should I call you?
Levika: No, not now, if I want to find you, I'd rather come to you in person.
Lethal: Where?
Levika: Come and find it here.
Lethal: I don't think I'll ever come back here again.
Levika: So, goodbye, good luck...
Levika opens the door, and there's another man dressed as a woman standing outside.
Masquerade (to Levika): What's the matter, beauty, are you deaf?
Levika: Nothing, sorry, I'm in a hurry...
Levika left in a hurry.
Masquerade: I'm in a hurry, beauty, I'm a "working girl", not a rich heir like you. (to Letal) Letall, you are too kind to her.

INT - DAY - JUDGMENT'S HOME, MOTHER'S BEDROOM
Close-up of newspapers: flipped newspapers, pictures of bullfighting, advertisements, pictures and reports of Beige and Levica, Manuel ... and the judge's mother's sound.
(Voiceover): Ah, bullfights, poor people... Classifieds.
A fat lady in her 50s was lying on the bed, nagging while reading the newspaper (she was Judge Dominguez's mother).
Judge's mother: I'm not interested at all, the weather is good and bad... (flips through the newspaper, sees pictures of Beige et al) Ha! You see here she is... (young bearded Judge Dominguez in a white shirt and tie sitting on the sofa drinking coffee) You'd love me to put the clippings on Beige del Baramo's portrait in the book? Dear...
Judge (puts down his coffee mug): All right, Mom. (Judge hands Beige album to mother)
Mother: Beige's first night in Madrid... ah, I'm glad, I'm glad you're home...
Judge: You have a question about Bridget or Trey A message from the Virgin?
Mother: No, not today, only about Beige. (Takes the album) Thank you, dear. Ouch, Eduardo, my son, you look so ugly, are you sick too?
Judge: Both of us are fine, Mom...
Mom: Ah, I don't know... You live that kind of life, I wouldn't be surprised if you get some kind of disease... Have you had an AIDS test?
Judge (reluctantly): Please, Mom, don't come again...
Mom: Look, if you don't do the test, then I'm going to do it, because I'm not very good lately... Go and take me Pass me the scissors on the offering table, dear... (The judge looks for scissors)
Judge: You had leprosy last week, scurvy last week, and AIDS this week. Do you know how you got this disease?
Mother: The only thing I know is that I'm tired, I'm exhausted.
Judge: That's because you didn't get up.
Mother (stubbornly): I should just rest...hand me the glue and put it in the round basket...don't look at me like that...I have the right to know if I'm seropositive like everyone else. I don't care about you, but I can't live in such a confused way...
Judge (bluntly): Very well, if you want to have an AIDS test, let's go to the hospital. But you have to get up from this bed first, so you can see for yourself... (sit down beside the bed)
Mother (unreasonably): Well... one day you will regret being so cruel to your mother, this day It's not too far... (Cut Beige's photo) Beguiling looks old! Poor bastard, eh? (Close-up of Beige and Revica's photo) Her daughter's face looks like a prostitute, doesn't she?
The judge suddenly stared at the photo of Manuel in the newspaper, and from the close-up of the photo, he could vaguely see a pistol in his waist. EXT, NIGHT, OUTSIDE MANUEEL'S VILLA SUBTITLE: A month later in the hazy night, the lawn outside

Manuel's villa was sprayed with water from the sprinklers, the leaves in the night swayed in the wind, Manuel The lights in Er's villa were on, and suddenly a crisp gunshot came from inside, breaking the silence of the moonlit night. MANUEL'S BEDROOM - DAY - MANUEL'S BEDROOM Manuel in his pajamas is dead on his bed as Judge Dominguez and his assistants examine the body. Judge (to secretary making investigation notes): Don Manuel Sancho's body is lying on the bed. No doubt the corpse had shown signs of stiffness. His hair is dark brown... Forensic: No, it's light brown, Mr. Judge. Judge (to secretary): Light brown hair, about 1.80 meters tall... Secretary: No, 1.78 meters... Forensic: I think it's taller...










Judge: Then 1.80 meters... in red silk pajamas.
Secretary: Cherry red sateen pajamas...
Judge: Cherry red sateen pajamas... (bends to look at the corpse on the bed) There are holes in the chest and back due to firearms, which is also the cause of death ... Inside JUDGE'S OFFICE

Judge Dominguez sits at his desk during the day
talking to three women closely related to Manuel, Revica, Begie, and Isabelle. Judge Dominguez wore a pair of tan glasses that made it difficult to see his eyes and face.
Judge: According to the judgment of the medical examiner, Don Manuel Sancho died between 9 and 11 pm. During this time he was approached by three women, he had sex with one of them, had a heated argument with another, and the third found him dead... (Levika sitting before the judge) , Beige, and Isabelle look at each other) First of all, I want to know who among you killed him.
The three women looked at each other.
Isabel (unrestrained to the judge): Of course I didn't kill him.
Judge: No one killed him, that's fine. I would like to reconfirm the time of your arrival and departure from the villa. (to Isabel) You were the first to see him...
Isabel: Yes.
Judge: What time did you arrive?
Isabelle: Arrived... (thinks for a moment) I arrived at 8:30, and I left just after 9...
Judge (to Isabel): How long did you stay?
Isabelle: I don't know... (a little flustered) I didn't count...
Judge: What did you do at the villa?
Isabelle: Before the news, Manuel called me and told me to go to his house, so I went to him.
Judge: Did you go directly from the studio?
Isabelle: Yes, I want Manuel to give me an interview, he has promised me. I'm tired of doing deaf-mute shows, some people regard me as deaf, you see, I'm not...
Judge (interrupting Isabel): Can you tell me in detail what you did?
Isabelle: I already said, we had sex. But we couldn't talk because Manuel got a call and he told me to go, which made me very upset. Because I didn't want people to treat me like this, I told him about it.
Judge: Is this your first time having sex?
Isabelle (lowers her head): No, since I started working on the news network, I had sex once... twice...
After Beige and Levika heard what Isabel said, Beige was very angry, while Levika looked blank. Indifferent.
BEGY (interrupting Isabel, protesting to the judge): Mr. Judge! Why should my daughter and I listen to the details of this lady's sex life?
Judge: We're not talking about Isabel's sex life, we're talking about a man who was killed shortly after sex. (to Isabel) What else did Manuel tell you? Can you recall some? Have you seen anyone nearby?
Isabelle: I didn't see it. I told you just now that we didn't get to talk about things... (looks a little unnatural) and I'm not... (Beggy's face shows contempt)
Judge (interrupts Isabel quietly): Very OK, you can go.
Isabelle: I'm gone, I just want to say to you that this "exposure" is very bad for me.
Judge: Don't worry, it won't be publicized.
Isabelle: Because I also sing, dance, perform in jazz bands, modern ballet, etc. Sleeping with a man is one thing, killing him is quite different.
Judge: I know the distinction and I won't bother you any more.
Isabel (stands up, smiles at the judge): It's okay, you can call me anytime, but you're responsible.
Judge: No, ah, yes, I am responsible, goodbye!
Isabel (pulls her wrinkled shorts, grabs her bag and prepares to leave): Alright, bye!
Revica always had an indifferent expression, but Beige clearly showed her dissatisfaction and contempt for Isabelle.
With Isabelle gone, the judge continues to investigate.
Judge (asking Beige): It was you who called him, and you went to see him... (Levika still looks indifferent)
Beige (calmly): Yes, I'll be there at about 9:30.
Judge: You interrupted your rehearsal to see him, why are you in such a hurry?
Beige: I have to talk to him.
Law Palace: What are you talking about?
BEGY (looking at Levika, to the judge): Mr. Judge, it's hard for me to get into this in front of my daughter, even though what we're talking about is nothing new to my daughter... (see Levika, Levika is silent) But I didn't kill him, I couldn't have killed my daughter's husband two days before the show. (still to Levika) You believe me, don't you, Levika?
LEVICA (to Beige, in a low voice) It's not me you're trying to convince, it's Mr. Judge.
Judge (interjection): It's not me either, I approve of you talking to me.
BEGY (to the judge): I'm going to make a break with him.
Judge: So you're lovers in the past...
Begie: Yes, I admit that I used to be a lunatic, and I want to end it as soon as possible...
Judge (to Levika): Do you know about this?
LEVICA (with an aggrieved look on her face, in a low voice): I don't know.
BEGY (looking at Levika in surprise, loudly to her): You don't lie, Levika! You know that very well, but at least you can guess... (glances at Levika angrily)
Levika: Neither of you told me, I don't like guessing...
Beige (honestly) ): I am not responsible for the breakdown of your relationship.
Leiduika (not in a hurry or slow): No one has put the blame on you. I hope you're just answering the judge's question, he's asking you, not me.
Begie: Manuel seduces me, and I let him seduce, which is not something to be proud of. But I've always been weak in relationships with men, I mean with certain men. When I found out he was lying to me again, I knew it was absurd. I decided to cut off from him as soon as possible, so I went to the villa.
Judge: What time did you leave?
Beige: I'm not exactly sure, it's about 10 o'clock. You can check with the taxi driver who came to pick me up.
Judge: We've asked him, and he told us you didn't look normal when you came out.
BEGY (excited): How do you think I can be at peace after an argument with a man who is ruining my life and my daughter's life? (restraining his excitement, somewhat arrogantly) If you're done asking, I want to leave.
Judge: Well, you can go.
Beige: If you have anything, you can call me, I'm at home.
Beige got up and left, and Levika's eyes were fixed on Beige. Only Judge Dominguez and Revica were left in the judge's office.
Judge: If your mother didn't kill him, but the murderer should be one of the two of you who went to see him. That is, between 10pm and 11pm.
LEVICA (looking up at the judge) My mother didn't kill him.
Judge: Why are you so sure?
LEVICA (with a sympathetic look): You've heard her say that she's not going to kill anyone in the first two days of her show.
Judge: Especially not to kill her daughter's husband. I admit that's not a bad reason... (looking at Levika in tears) Based on what you just stated, you arrived at 11 o'clock?
Levika: Yes, the sprinkler was still on.
Judge: Your husband bought food and drinks at noon, and was locked in the villa by himself, without even calling a maid, why is that?
LEVICA (in a low voice) We had a big fight in the morning. He asked me for a divorce and I refused. I told him that I would never agree to a divorce. He threatened me with abandoning me, and I threatened him with suicide if he abandoned me.
Judge: So he went to the villa.
Levika (tears flashing): Yes, he wanted to be alone, and I promised him I wasn't going.
Judge: But you went.
Levica: Yes, after the news, when I got home, I was extremely nervous. I looked for a tranquilizer, but I couldn't find it where I put it. I guess Manuel took it, he only left 3 slices. He was afraid that something would happen... (emotional, tearful) So I went to the villa under the pretext of looking for medicine...
Judge: You should describe as much as possible the situation when you arrived, and try to recall what you saw as much as possible. Everything, if you hear anything...
Levika (recalling the situation): The wind was blowing, the branches were shaking... I seemed to hear the rustling of leaves... When I entered the room, it was pitch black. But I didn't want to turn on the lights because I cried all afternoon and I didn't want Manuel to see me. I sit on a chair in the corner of the room. Manuel turned his back to me, and I could barely see him lying on the bed. I asked him in a low voice to forgive me for the argument I had with him in the morning... (Levika gets emotional, tears welling up in her eyes) I also told him that I agreed to the divorce if he wanted to. He doesn't have to worry about me, I'll take care of it, but he didn't say a word and I thought he was still mad. There were my pills on the bedside table, and I decided to take them and go. I approached the bed, very close to him. I must be blind and didn't realize what was going on...but I still thought he was angry, and I started to cry because he didn't care. I picked up the pills and walked gently towards the door, but I turned around and came back because I couldn't bear to break up like this... (wiping tears) When I went to bed next to him and hugged him, he didn't respond... I left him and found my body and shirt covered in blood... (wiping tears)
Judge: Why didn't you report the crime until the next morning?
Revica (dazedly): I can't tell... I can't tell...
Judge: What did you do tonight?
Levica: After a while, I got home... (sad tears) I couldn't imagine Manuel was dead, I didn't care about my life at that point, I took a bunch of pills, But since my stomach was empty, I soon vomited again... (wiping tears) In the morning, I called the police station...

EXT, DAY, cemetery

Paula (looking at the photo in her hand, the photo is of a large empty sofa chair, she is puzzled): A sofa chair... (she asks Levika next to her, and shows the photo to Levika) Hello, Did you take this sofa chair?
Revica (looks at the photo): Yes...
Paula (looks at the photo in Revica's hand): Ah, these are mine, by the way...wrong pocket... (hands the photo in his hand to me to Levika) to you.

I just remember when I got home and I was totally broken, I couldn't tell anyone what was on my mind, I didn't know what to do, all I knew was, I'll never see Manuel again, and it's making me miserable Extremely... (Levica becomes more and more emotional as she speaks, and she can't help falling into tears) I don't know how to deal with this sudden pain, I picked up a camera and started photographing the memorable items that belonged to our shared life: (Bends down and takes out some photos from Kun's bag on the ground, and looks at the photos) I took a picture of his writing desk, and on the table were the documents I sorted out for him for the last time...

(hold up photo to show), bed (flip through photo), his nightgown (show photo), cabinet with his clothes (show photo)...a sofa chair facing the TV where he often sits Look at me... (holds up photo) I took a couple of beautiful sheets including a couple of beautiful sheets I just bought a few days ago that we can't enjoy now. And just like that, I found out that I killed Manuel, I was alone, but I didn't kill my love for him... (Two policemen who entered the studio stand next to Levika)

See you in a while, as always, thank you for watching, goodbye...

    Rebecca has been chasing her mother's footsteps all the time, and finally found sadly that she is only the shadow of her mother. Although she married her mother's old lover, it was still in vain and lived in her shadow forever. And death makes everything meaningless. "When I was a child, I always liked to listen to your high heels gradually walking away until it disappeared into silence before I would fall asleep." The role of the transvestite judge is illogical, but that's Almodovar.
