Una fabricante de coronas de flores se encuentra desamparada tras un pequeño accidente que la deja con un brazo roto. Es una mujer ocupada e independiente que quiere hacerlo todo sola, así que darse cuenta de que necesita ayuda es un gran reto. Pero pedir ayuda es un obstáculo aún mayor. Cuando admite que necesita ayuda durante la ajetreada temporada navideña, sus opciones no son muy buenas: empleados potenciales mediocres o distraídos, o alguien que sólo puede trabajar 2 horas al día, o un vecino al que se ha esforzado por ignorar durante años gracias a que empezó con mal pie cuando se mudó. A regañadientes elige al vecino, pero al hacerlo se da cuenta de que le ha malinterpretado, y él ve que ayudarla puede ser la mejor manera de pasar las fiestas.

00:00:00♪♪♪
00:00:08Christmas wreaths and wreaths.
00:00:11♪♪♪
00:00:18You put this on and you get a gift.
00:00:22It's great.
00:00:23I'm glad you like it.
00:00:25If you spray it every two or three days,
00:00:27it will stay very fresh.
00:00:28I understand.
00:00:29I will.
00:00:30Merry Christmas.
00:00:31Merry Christmas.
00:00:36You're back.
00:00:37That was great.
00:00:39And how's your day going?
00:00:40Many customers in the stores?
00:00:42Yes, I've been calculating the sales figures
00:00:44for so long that I forgot not to replace the real food.
00:00:48Let's have lunch.
00:00:49I wish I could, but...
00:00:51I have...
00:00:52Orders?
00:00:53I mean it.
00:00:54You always say it.
00:00:55I think you're about to finish.
00:00:57I'm not even close.
00:00:59I have a lot of orders to make.
00:01:01And that without including the inventory
00:01:03for the grocery store.
00:01:04You mean you're forcing me to go out for lunch,
00:01:06but alone?
00:01:07You could order it.
00:01:08They'll bring it and we'll work.
00:01:10You're very smart.
00:01:13It's an option.
00:01:14I've heard that too.
00:01:17Wreaths and wreaths, this is Rebecca.
00:01:19Rebecca?
00:01:50Never fails.
00:01:52Rebecca!
00:01:54Hey!
00:01:57Jason.
00:01:58Yes, I know.
00:02:00I understand.
00:02:01You have guests.
00:02:03Yes, that's my family.
00:02:06We're here sharing.
00:02:08Could you remind them that I didn't block my entrance?
00:02:12Yes.
00:02:13I'm sorry.
00:02:14I'm sorry.
00:02:15I'm sorry.
00:02:16I'm sorry.
00:02:18Yes.
00:02:19I'm very sorry.
00:02:20It's just that my cousin
00:02:21hasn't learned to drive very well
00:02:23despite the classes.
00:02:25He's trying.
00:02:27Good.
00:02:29Goodbye.
00:02:31Goodbye.
00:02:33Nice to see you.
00:02:40I think we should suspend orders
00:02:42on December 15th.
00:02:43Of course.
00:02:44Of course.
00:02:45Less sales.
00:02:46Let's do that raspberry one.
00:02:48I love that one.
00:02:49I'm sorry.
00:02:50You were the only one.
00:02:52Hacker.
00:02:53What?
00:02:55Hey Tom, can I have your keys?
00:02:56What's up?
00:02:57I'm going to move your car.
00:02:58Okay.
00:03:00Did your neighbor say something again?
00:03:02Yes, but I'll be honest.
00:03:04Tom doesn't know how to park.
00:03:06Well, she's alone.
00:03:08And I understand her.
00:03:09Maybe that's why she's so
00:03:11particular with her neighbors.
00:03:13I think I'm the only one who bothers her.
00:03:15You should invite her.
00:03:17I don't think that's the solution.
00:03:19Well, let's continue with this.
00:03:21What do you think of the
00:03:22early orders in the bakery?
00:03:24Should we leave them until December 15th?
00:03:27The more we move forward,
00:03:28the more we sell.
00:03:30Although that means
00:03:31we'll work extra hours.
00:03:33Do we pay those hours?
00:03:35No.
00:03:36We're a family business.
00:03:38But you get the best of that.
00:03:40Of course.
00:03:42Okay.
00:03:43Let it be December 18th.
00:03:45But this year,
00:03:46we'll take out the mint cream cake.
00:03:48Will it take longer?
00:03:49Just because you don't use my skills.
00:03:51It doesn't matter.
00:03:53Let's continue with our recipes.
00:04:00It's a beautiful new day,
00:04:02but get warm.
00:04:03The temperatures during the night
00:04:05reached freezing point.
00:04:06And this morning it's cold.
00:04:08Stay very present.
00:04:09So be very careful outside.
00:04:11Our favorite tree is already installed
00:04:13so we can feel the Christmas spirit.
00:04:16Now it's time to make our requests.
00:04:33Rebecca?
00:04:34Rebecca?
00:04:39Calm down, calm down.
00:04:41Did you hit yourself hard?
00:04:43Where did it go?
00:04:44Was it in the head?
00:04:45No, no, no, no.
00:04:46Just...
00:04:47Don't say you're okay.
00:04:48I won't believe you.
00:04:50My arm was hit.
00:04:51Okay.
00:04:52I'll take you to a doctor, okay?
00:04:54No, no.
00:04:55It's not that serious.
00:04:56Are you a doctor?
00:04:57No, but...
00:04:58Maybe I'll stop hurting if I wait.
00:05:01I don't think it's likely.
00:05:03I'll take you to the hospital.
00:05:04No problem.
00:05:05You'll be fine.
00:05:06I'll drive.
00:05:07Really?
00:05:09Let's go.
00:05:12That's it.
00:05:14Maybe you need ice.
00:05:16Yes.
00:05:17Ice.
00:05:18X-rays.
00:05:19Be careful.
00:05:24Hey.
00:05:25Could it be worse?
00:05:26Like a surgery?
00:05:28Or a big lump there?
00:05:30My elbow dislocated
00:05:32and it feels a little worse.
00:05:34I'm sorry.
00:05:36But you have an excellent design.
00:05:39For several weeks.
00:05:41This is a problem for me.
00:05:43Is it your first injury?
00:05:45No.
00:05:46Well, yes.
00:05:47But that's not all.
00:05:49I have to work.
00:05:50Well, I'm sure your boss will understand, right?
00:05:53If you have to take some time or something.
00:05:56I'm the boss.
00:05:57Even better.
00:05:58No.
00:05:59I have my own business.
00:06:01Maybe you wouldn't understand.
00:06:03Why not?
00:06:04Because when you have your business,
00:06:06you don't have days off.
00:06:08You work harder than the rest and
00:06:10if you succeed or fail,
00:06:12it all depends on you.
00:06:14I have a bakery.
00:06:17Really?
00:06:18Well, it's a family business,
00:06:20but yes, I'm one of the owners and
00:06:22I understand you.
00:06:28Hey.
00:06:29Don't worry.
00:06:31It's been very difficult.
00:06:34Now just go home and rest.
00:06:36Do what the doctor says.
00:06:38And tomorrow you will surely be clearer
00:06:40what the next step is.
00:06:42Believe me, I've thought about it.
00:06:45This is the worst time to stop working.
00:06:49What do you do for a living?
00:06:51I make crowns.
00:06:53Crowns?
00:06:55Do you have a demand?
00:06:58No, I'm sorry.
00:07:00I thought it was an online business.
00:07:03Or is it a store? I don't know.
00:07:05Yes, a store like mine.
00:07:07Let me help you.
00:07:09Christmas is my best season and
00:07:11it contributes 75% of my annual income.
00:07:14This, this is ...
00:07:17It's a lot.
00:07:18Don't stress.
00:07:20Surely there is a solution.
00:07:23I don't know.
00:07:28All right.
00:07:29Careful.
00:07:30Let's go.
00:07:33Do you need me to look for some medicine?
00:07:36No, I'm fine.
00:07:38Are you sure?
00:07:39Yes.
00:07:40You don't have to be like that.
00:07:42And how?
00:07:43Maybe I'm tired and I plan to rest,
00:07:46as you said.
00:07:47Are you really going to do it?
00:07:50Yes.
00:07:53Allow me.
00:07:54Allow me.
00:07:56That's it.
00:08:00You're welcome.
00:08:03Really.
00:08:05Thank you for helping me with this.
00:08:08The truth is that I had nothing to do, so ...
00:08:11Good.
00:08:15You're welcome.
00:08:17And if you need anything, just say it.
00:08:21I will.
00:08:40What do I do now?
00:08:43You should look at the steps.
00:08:46Oh, dear.
00:08:48We can go there.
00:08:49No, Mom.
00:08:50You have your life and Dad must work.
00:08:52Well, then I'll go.
00:08:54Anyway, they will come for Christmas,
00:08:55and changing your ticket will be more expensive.
00:08:58Oh, dear.
00:08:59The cost does not matter.
00:09:00But he needs you.
00:09:02He has frozen meals.
00:09:03Quiet.
00:09:04But we know how it is.
00:09:05He does not eat.
00:09:09Mom, seriously, I'm fine.
00:09:11I just have to get used to some things.
00:09:14But you need help.
00:09:17Maybe not.
00:09:18I just have to see what I can do and ...
00:09:20No.
00:09:22Oh, that's Angie.
00:09:24Oh, great.
00:09:25At least there's someone there to help.
00:09:27Please let him do it.
00:09:28I will.
00:09:29And you'll tell me if this is going to get worse.
00:09:31I will.
00:09:32It's serious, Rebecca.
00:09:34Okay.
00:09:35I'll pray for you.
00:09:36Your dad and I will be here.
00:09:38Okay.
00:09:40I love you.
00:09:41Me too.
00:09:45Hello.
00:09:47Oh, no problem.
00:09:49Oh, it can't be.
00:09:51How did this happen?
00:09:52Are you okay?
00:09:53I am.
00:09:54Well, something like that.
00:09:55Will you take me to the store?
00:09:57Sure.
00:09:58Sure, but ...
00:09:59Won't you rest?
00:10:04Here you go.
00:10:05That's all.
00:10:07Hello.
00:10:08Where were you?
00:10:10Oh, yes.
00:10:11I'm sorry.
00:10:12There was an emergency.
00:10:13Oh, what emergency?
00:10:14My neighbor had an accident.
00:10:16He got hurt.
00:10:17Is he okay?
00:10:18I think so.
00:10:19Great.
00:10:20Oh, and we don't have any more yeast.
00:10:23A new batch will arrive tomorrow.
00:10:25Make sure you have enough for the week.
00:10:27I always do.
00:10:32Did he take you to the hospital?
00:10:34Yes.
00:10:35I tried to tell him no, but ...
00:10:36He still did.
00:10:37I'm surprised he was so ... affectionate.
00:10:40That could be exaggerated.
00:10:42He was just nice.
00:10:43But what you said about him ...
00:10:45I'm also surprised.
00:10:46I don't understand.
00:10:47I just thought ...
00:10:49By the way you talked about him ...
00:10:51That he was rude.
00:10:52Oh ...
00:10:53It's not.
00:10:54It's just ...
00:10:55A little inconsiderate.
00:10:57Or not him, but his ...
00:10:59Guests.
00:11:01I don't know.
00:11:02Actually, I don't know him.
00:11:05Well, that doesn't matter, because ...
00:11:07I have more serious problems.
00:11:10Okay.
00:11:11Pass me the branch.
00:11:13Rebecca.
00:11:14Fine.
00:11:15I'll have this here with the tape ...
00:11:17So they don't move.
00:11:19Can I help?
00:11:20No, don't worry.
00:11:21I'll do it.
00:11:23Okay.
00:11:24I put it here and ...
00:11:29Will you stop being so stubborn and let you help?
00:11:33Sure.
00:11:34But ...
00:11:35What am I going to do this month?
00:11:37I have work for six weeks.
00:11:39At least.
00:11:40I can do it.
00:11:41Are you kidding?
00:11:42December is the month with the most purchases.
00:11:44Managing the warehouses keeps you busy all the time.
00:11:47And even more now.
00:11:49Yes.
00:11:50And what?
00:11:51I'll be here.
00:11:52That's all.
00:11:53I mean it.
00:11:54I can change schedules and make time.
00:11:58Angie.
00:11:59I know you would.
00:12:00And I'm very tempted to say yes.
00:12:02But ...
00:12:03You have enough to do at work.
00:12:05And they need you there.
00:12:07And ...
00:12:08Don't take it the wrong way, but ...
00:12:09A tie can't be tied with tape.
00:12:11It's difficult for some people.
00:12:14Fine.
00:12:15But you need someone.
00:12:17Or maybe ...
00:12:18Limit the number of crowns.
00:12:21I can't.
00:12:22What about the Christmas market?
00:12:24Don't do it this year.
00:12:26That represents a third of my sales.
00:12:28And ...
00:12:29Part of the earnings is for a good cause in the church.
00:12:32You'll just have to do one thing.
00:12:34What?
00:12:35Seasonal worker for a crown shop.
00:12:39The necessary skills include ...
00:12:41Do you think it will work?
00:12:43A lot of people need extra money for Christmas.
00:12:45I hire several people for the season.
00:12:48Come on.
00:12:49Do it.
00:12:50Fine.
00:12:51Um ...
00:12:53Oriented.
00:12:55Reliable.
00:12:57Comfortable with plants.
00:12:59Uh ...
00:13:00Eye for creativity and style.
00:13:04Do you have more skills for this?
00:13:06Sure.
00:13:07Come on.
00:13:08And available for December.
00:13:10And maybe for January.
00:13:12December and maybe January.
00:13:15Okay.
00:13:16Oh, also add that you must be able to follow instructions.
00:13:20Ready.
00:13:21The last thing I need is someone to make crowns that are not sold, right?
00:13:25Yes, but don't be too demanding.
00:13:28Ready?
00:13:29I think so.
00:13:32How long do you think it will take to get some staff?
00:13:37Ah ...
00:13:38See?
00:13:39Crowns and ribbons.
00:13:40How can I help you?
00:13:43Yes.
00:13:44Of course I can take the order.
00:13:47Hey.
00:13:48Take it easy.
00:13:49Quiet.
00:13:50Go home.
00:13:51I'll help you get in.
00:13:53A delivery?
00:13:57That's Jason, my neighbor.
00:13:59It must be from his bakery.
00:14:01Bakery?
00:14:02It's very sweet.
00:14:03Yes.
00:14:04It is.
00:14:05Now you don't have to worry about what I'll have for dinner.
00:14:09But you'll give me some of that.
00:14:24You have eight new requests.
00:14:28Fine.
00:14:29I'll do it.
00:14:30I'll do it.
00:14:31I'll do it.
00:14:33Great.
00:14:36Thank you for interviewing me.
00:14:38I appreciate you coming all the way here.
00:14:40Are you studying?
00:14:42Yes, I have class every day and the exams are coming up.
00:14:45And what is your availability?
00:14:48I can come about six hours a day.
00:14:50Great.
00:14:51Ah, I did my exam.
00:14:54The red is my class schedule and study.
00:14:57The time you have is before 7 am and after 9 pm?
00:15:03But I can come at lunchtime and I can work.
00:15:06Oh, okay.
00:15:09You have a great experience here and your reference to the craft store is very praiseworthy.
00:15:16Oh, thank you.
00:15:17I guess you feel comfortable with the orders.
00:15:20ACHOO!
00:15:21Are you okay?
00:15:22I'm sorry, really.
00:15:24It's nothing. As I was saying, you'll take the orders and...
00:15:27ACHOO!
00:15:28Are you okay?
00:15:30Oh, yes. It's just an allergy.
00:15:34What are you allergic to?
00:15:36Just a few things.
00:15:38ACHOO!
00:15:39A plant like flowers or pine?
00:15:44ACHOO!
00:15:55Hey! Are you here for the job interview?
00:15:59Yes.
00:16:04Maybe this won't work.
00:16:07Get better soon.
00:16:09You too.
00:16:11You too.
00:16:23Pastor Kevin, I have a crown for you.
00:16:27Rebecca, it's so good to see you. What happened?
00:16:31A step on ice and a bad balance.
00:16:34Oh, I'm so sorry. Let me take this.
00:16:39Are you okay?
00:16:41I hope so.
00:16:42Oh, are you participating in the church's Christmas market?
00:16:46Yes.
00:16:47Oh, good.
00:16:48How many families will you support with the church's portion?
00:16:51As many as I can.
00:16:52Wow, then there's a lot to do.
00:16:55I'm hiring someone for the store.
00:16:57Nothing yet, but I still have an interview for today.
00:17:01I hope it works.
00:17:03Well, it could happen a couple of times to help make some crowns.
00:17:07Thank you, but I know it's in the middle of everything, planning.
00:17:12Well, I'm sorry you're in this, but you'll be fine.
00:17:19God will take care of you.
00:17:29Hi! Are you Peter?
00:17:30Yes. Sorry I'm late.
00:17:32No, no problem.
00:17:34The point is, I have another job.
00:17:37Oh.
00:17:38I'm sorry. It was unexpected, but I wanted you to know.
00:17:41Well, thank you. You're very kind.
00:17:44Good luck.
00:17:49Great.
00:18:00Oh! Hi!
00:18:02Hi.
00:18:03Hi.
00:18:04This is perfect.
00:18:06When I saw the sign, I thought it was your store.
00:18:10And it is?
00:18:11Yes.
00:18:12How can I help you?
00:18:14Oh, nothing. I just wanted to see how you were, with your arm and everything.
00:18:19Oh, it's fine. Everything is fine.
00:18:23Really?
00:18:25Not really.
00:18:27It's just that I have a lot of work and it's very complicated because I can't.
00:18:33And if you hire someone?
00:18:35That's much more complicated than I thought.
00:18:38And a lot of people are busy or don't convince me.
00:18:42And what do you need them to do?
00:18:44A lot of things.
00:18:46I'll help and point out what to do.
00:18:49I think someone could follow my instructions very well.
00:18:54I don't know. Maybe all this was a bad idea.
00:18:59I'll do it.
00:19:00What?
00:19:01I'll do it. It's very difficult.
00:19:04Well, it's not that easy, but...
00:19:07But you're going to teach someone else, aren't you?
00:19:10Yes, I think so.
00:19:13But don't you have a job? Your bakery?
00:19:16Yes, you're in the right place, but close both stores.
00:19:20That's the beauty of a bakery.
00:19:23So I'm available in the afternoons and at night.
00:19:26Do you need someone in the morning?
00:19:29Something like that, but I could answer calls,
00:19:32customers who pick up their orders,
00:19:34and everything you can do with an arm like that.
00:19:38As long as you don't go overboard.
00:19:42We'll probably get over that pile very quickly.
00:19:45It's not just that.
00:19:47I have a lot to do for the Christmas market.
00:19:50And I really want to participate in this,
00:19:52because some of the market profits...
00:19:54You'll go to church to help families.
00:19:56I know. I have a place for the bakery too.
00:19:59So you understand.
00:20:01Oh, but you'll also be very busy.
00:20:04Not at all.
00:20:06We can only prepare a limited amount.
00:20:09I'm serious. I can help you here.
00:20:12If that's what you want.
00:20:14But why?
00:20:17Why would you help me?
00:20:19Because...
00:20:21It's Christmas.
00:20:24What better time to help you?
00:20:27Good.
00:20:32I'm glad you found someone for the store.
00:20:35What's his name?
00:20:36Jason. He lives next door.
00:20:38Oh, and you know him?
00:20:40A little, but I didn't have a choice.
00:20:42Well, he just needs to do what you can't do now.
00:20:46Yes. I wish I could find someone else.
00:20:49I hope it works and it's not weird.
00:20:53Maybe.
00:20:54Then I'm going to check our flights
00:20:56and see if we can get there before Rebecca.
00:20:58No, I'll be fine.
00:21:00Don't worry.
00:21:02Benny, help me, Jason.
00:21:04This isn't just baking.
00:21:06Yes.
00:21:07What are you doing there?
00:21:09Schedules.
00:21:10I thought everything was ready.
00:21:12I'm just changing a few shifts and some extra things.
00:21:15Does anyone need more time?
00:21:17Yes. Me.
00:21:19What's going on?
00:21:20My neighbor needs help at her store.
00:21:22Oh, the one who had an accident.
00:21:24Very sad.
00:21:25When will you help her?
00:21:27This month.
00:21:28And will it be all month?
00:21:30Why not?
00:21:31That's very generous of you.
00:21:33And noble, but you'll work too much.
00:21:35I'll be fine.
00:21:36Christmas is our best time.
00:21:38And we do it every year.
00:21:41I'll be here.
00:21:42I was just changing some schedules to help her a little.
00:21:45That's all.
00:21:46It's your decision, but...
00:21:48We're glad you're helping someone who needs it.
00:21:54This is your order.
00:21:59Do you need help?
00:22:01No, I can do it.
00:22:04Let me do it, don't worry.
00:22:13Ready?
00:22:16You're welcome.
00:22:17Merry Christmas.
00:22:18Merry Christmas.
00:22:21I can do it.
00:22:23We should create a place to store the orders that are ready,
00:22:27so you don't hurt your arm.
00:22:29Maybe.
00:22:30Are you ready?
00:22:31Sure.
00:22:32I received a delivery with the materials to make the crowns,
00:22:35and it's in the back.
00:22:37Do you want to look for it and we'll start?
00:22:39Yes, of course.
00:22:41This is the base you start with,
00:22:44and then you take some branches and group them in the base.
00:22:48They're real?
00:22:49Fresh, yes.
00:22:52Good.
00:22:53I'll do it.
00:22:54Merry Christmas.
00:22:55Merry Christmas.
00:22:56Merry Christmas.
00:22:58Good.
00:23:00They go over the base.
00:23:05Hey, try...
00:23:07I can't with one hand.
00:23:10Just like that.
00:23:14It's just the first one, but it'll look better with the rest.
00:23:17I take your word for it.
00:23:19Good, the next one.
00:23:21Good.
00:23:27Make sure it doesn't move.
00:23:30Adjust it.
00:23:31Yes.
00:23:35Like this?
00:23:37No, not quite.
00:23:44Okay, use this one.
00:23:49Not there.
00:23:50Where?
00:23:51Here.
00:23:57Good.
00:23:58Now this one.
00:24:02No, the other side.
00:24:05Here.
00:24:12And now this one.
00:24:18Can you tell me where to put it?
00:24:21Here.
00:24:28That's all.
00:24:29I think that's enough.
00:24:31Do you want to leave it for today?
00:24:33Are you sure? We didn't do much.
00:24:35I know.
00:24:37But it'll be easier and faster while you...
00:24:41We get used to it.
00:24:43So...
00:24:47Yes, well then...
00:24:49See you.
00:24:51Bye.
00:24:58She's very demanding when it comes to doing things.
00:25:01And I understand, I'm not perfect in this, but I can't even give her any advice.
00:25:06Yesterday she barely let me take out the trash.
00:25:09And she won't let me help her with the things she can't do.
00:25:12Well, I'm not surprised.
00:25:14Me neither.
00:25:15Why?
00:25:16Because with her injury, she feels that a lot of things are out of her control.
00:25:21So she'll stick to everything she can.
00:25:24That's not what I was going to say.
00:25:26She's not helping in this situation.
00:25:28Just tell her to move aside and do your thing.
00:25:31That's tempting. I'm sure you'll fire me if I say something like that.
00:25:35A little delicacy would be of great help.
00:25:38Why do you say that?
00:25:40Patience is just the beginning.
00:25:42If it's a big problem, tell her.
00:25:44She'll know how to solve it.
00:25:46What he means is that you should stick to it if you want to help her.
00:25:50And she'll see the difference you make.
00:25:54Why do you say that?
00:25:55That's not what I was going to say.
00:25:59The cream stays better on mine.
00:26:01It's stiff.
00:26:02My cake is fluffy.
00:26:04I don't like the flavor.
00:26:06It's just like yours.
00:26:07Of course.
00:26:09At least you're afraid of it.
00:26:10Miranda, we've been making my recipe for years.
00:26:13The customers will notice.
00:26:15Jason, try this, will you?
00:26:19Okay.
00:26:24Mmm.
00:26:27Mmm.
00:26:31Mmm-hmm.
00:26:32They both taste good.
00:26:33Which one is better?
00:26:35There's no better.
00:26:36They're different recipes.
00:26:38There has to be one better than the other.
00:26:40Well, they're different in texture, sweetness, and flavor,
00:26:44but I don't think one is better than the other.
00:26:47I really think they're both great.
00:26:50Thank you, dear.
00:26:51You're a diplomat, I know that.
00:26:53I'm just telling the truth.
00:26:55Besides, what does it matter?
00:26:56I thought we weren't going to make mint cakes for Christmas.
00:26:59Excellent point.
00:27:00It's a useless debate.
00:27:02Many customers have only asked for Christmas,
00:27:05and we should make it available.
00:27:07Well, then decide.
00:27:11Hey, can I have a portion for later?
00:27:14Of course.
00:27:22Hola.
00:27:23Hola.
00:27:25Hungry?
00:27:26I brought a cake from the bakery.
00:27:28Maybe later.
00:27:29There's a lot to do.
00:27:31You can put it in the back.
00:27:33Okay.
00:27:52Let me do it.
00:27:54Let me do it.
00:27:55It's easier if you let me help you.
00:27:57Permit me.
00:28:08You can clean in the back.
00:28:21And under the table.
00:28:28I clean the most difficult places,
00:28:31and then stack them.
00:28:33You know what?
00:28:35I need cake.
00:28:41Don't touch the broom!
00:28:48I'm not a fan of this.
00:28:50You'll change your mind after this.
00:28:52And did you bake them?
00:28:54No, my mom made one,
00:28:56and the other portion came from a cake my sister Miranda made.
00:29:01Oh.
00:29:02Let's try it.
00:29:11It's great.
00:29:13Now the other one.
00:29:24Now, my mom and my sister have a debate about which cream cake is better.
00:29:30Let me explain.
00:29:31We've used my mom's recipe for years,
00:29:33but Miranda's is a little faster.
00:29:36They both taste good.
00:29:38Exactly.
00:29:39That's what I told them.
00:29:40And there are differences, but...
00:29:42none that leave any flavor to this.
00:29:45True.
00:29:47And what's the problem?
00:29:49Well, my mom doesn't like my sister's recipe.
00:29:52Why is it different?
00:29:54Because it's not hers.
00:29:57But why isn't it her style?
00:29:59It doesn't mean it's bad.
00:30:04Really?
00:30:05Is that your point with all this?
00:30:08I thought you were nice with the cake.
00:30:10That's right.
00:30:12Okay.
00:30:14You finish cleaning, and I'll make the cake.
00:30:18Sounds good to me.
00:30:26It's true.
00:30:28Don't say that.
00:30:29I'm sorry, but you must let me help you,
00:30:31even if that means you're doing something different from what you expect.
00:30:36But all this is so slow,
00:30:38and things aren't going as I expect them to.
00:30:41Does it make you feel bad?
00:30:43Well...
00:30:44No.
00:30:45Good.
00:30:46It's just an idea, but do you think it's possible
00:30:49that you're very strict with everything?
00:30:52You too.
00:30:53It's quality control.
00:30:54It is?
00:30:55Or are you entering the territory of micro-management?
00:30:59I don't do that.
00:31:02Well, I can't help it.
00:31:04I've been working alone for a long time.
00:31:06It's an adjustment.
00:31:08I understand, but look, now you're letting me fold your clothes.
00:31:12Well, this is barely, and with one hand, it's very difficult.
00:31:16My point is that you can let someone else help you,
00:31:20and he does what he can.
00:31:22Don't pass it up for a ribbon that isn't tied to your liking.
00:31:34Come in.
00:31:38Hi.
00:31:41Hi.
00:31:42Hey, I'm sorry to bother you in your kitchen.
00:31:49I was just making dinner.
00:31:51Do you want some?
00:31:52No, thanks. I have the cake.
00:31:55That's not food.
00:31:56Come on, I invite you.
00:31:59In fact, I came because I wanted to tell you
00:32:03that you're right.
00:32:05Excuse me?
00:32:07That there's more than one way to do things,
00:32:10and I don't just mean cleaning.
00:32:13I mean the crowns.
00:32:16Okay.
00:32:17It's just that that long list of orders
00:32:20keeps growing and growing more and more, and...
00:32:24I'm worried that we're not making progress.
00:32:28I know.
00:32:29And this isn't perfect, but I'll do my best.
00:32:34It's not just you.
00:32:37Thank you. I understand your concern.
00:32:41How about you draw the crowns that we'll make?
00:32:44Like a manual, and then you can show me
00:32:48and tell me about the styles.
00:32:50Okay.
00:32:51That will help me, without taking up time
00:32:54to explain every step I have to take.
00:32:56Yes, that's true.
00:32:59Do you think we'll make more progress?
00:33:02We can try.
00:33:05Yes.
00:33:25Hello!
00:33:27Look at that.
00:33:29Very busy.
00:33:31Well, you inspired me last night, and...
00:33:33I hope it works.
00:33:35Thinking about the different styles,
00:33:37I followed and sketched some styles as you suggested.
00:33:42No, they're perfect.
00:33:43It's hard to draw with one hand.
00:33:47They're beautiful.
00:33:50I didn't know you were an artist.
00:33:52I used to draw, but only in the past.
00:33:56Now I have all the materials for both styles.
00:33:59And you reorganized them?
00:34:01More line style.
00:34:02So you'll have space to assemble the crown structure
00:34:05and then start decorating.
00:34:07There are some things I can do easily,
00:34:09like adding snow and things like that,
00:34:12but I'll need help with the tape.
00:34:15Okay.
00:34:17This is great.
00:34:27This one?
00:34:28And this one?
00:34:29And this one?
00:34:30No, not that one.
00:34:31This one?
00:34:49It has to be from a specific category.
00:34:54For any season or holiday.
00:35:08And what do you do for the rest of the year?
00:35:10This.
00:35:11I make the crowns for any season or holiday.
00:35:14You'd be surprised to know how many people come
00:35:16and buy one for their friends.
00:35:18Like a florist.
00:35:19No, yes.
00:35:20I understand.
00:35:21I never would have thought of that.
00:35:23In the bakery we have the same kind of rush.
00:35:26Different parties,
00:35:27or a way to cheer up a friend
00:35:29with a loaf of bread or a cake.
00:35:31That's food to celebrate.
00:35:33Exactly.
00:35:34But this is eternal.
00:35:36And it has fewer calories.
00:35:39Have you always worked in that bakery?
00:35:41For a long time.
00:35:42Mom and Dad replaced my mom's parents
00:35:45and I became a florist.
00:35:47That's right.
00:35:48Mom and Dad replaced my mom's parents
00:35:51and I was expected to work there
00:35:53in high school and college.
00:35:56What did you study?
00:35:57Accounting.
00:36:01Yes, Dad doesn't like to manage
00:36:02the commercial side of the bakery,
00:36:04so it's a way of helping.
00:36:07And do you like it?
00:36:08It doesn't bother me.
00:36:10Actually, I do different things every day.
00:36:14Cleaning, placing Christmas posters,
00:36:18selling, and accounting.
00:36:21With great honor.
00:36:23Yes.
00:36:24And now you're here adding more to your plate.
00:36:28The bakery has the rest of my family to help.
00:36:31I think this is a good break for me.
00:36:33More work, of course.
00:36:36It's good to do something different.
00:36:40Will you continue with the bakery
00:36:41after your parents retire?
00:36:44It's possible.
00:36:45Or at least that's what everyone assumes.
00:36:49You don't seem excited about that.
00:36:52It's not that.
00:36:53It's just that I wouldn't mind doing something else, you know?
00:36:56Like what?
00:36:57Well, I've been wanting to open my own restaurant for a while.
00:37:03Really?
00:37:05And what kind of food?
00:37:06It doesn't have to be of a specific category.
00:37:10It's more like a fusion of flavors and recipe influences
00:37:15that I've prepared and perfected.
00:37:19That's amazing.
00:37:21Really?
00:37:24Yes, but I'm not there yet.
00:37:28It's just that we're busy with the bakery
00:37:31and I don't know how my parents will feel.
00:37:34And you haven't talked to them?
00:37:36No.
00:37:37The truth is that my dad always says he doesn't know what he would do without me.
00:37:42Yes, it's not the right time.
00:37:48He's so kind and he's sacrificing a lot,
00:37:52but he always has to make so much effort in everything he does.
00:37:56And he still does.
00:37:58I feel horrible when I think about what I thought of him,
00:38:01being the inconsiderate neighbor whose guests blocked your entrance.
00:38:07Yes, and in fact, he wasn't that bad.
00:38:11But he could have been nicer.
00:38:13That hasn't stopped him from helping you.
00:38:15No, not even that has stopped him from being nice.
00:38:19He's always saying hello and smiling.
00:38:23He could be one of those people who let everything get to them.
00:38:28Maybe.
00:38:29Or he could have a different motive.
00:38:33What?
00:38:35Nothing.
00:38:36You should meet him.
00:38:39Okay.
00:38:41Or we should hurry up so you don't be late for the appointment with the doctor.
00:38:46You make fake crowns, right?
00:38:49I call them artificial.
00:38:51And yes, technically you made one the other day too.
00:38:55I don't remember.
00:38:57And which ones are more popular?
00:38:59The natural ones.
00:39:01There's something more special about them.
00:39:04They require more work, don't you think?
00:39:06Yes and no.
00:39:07Each one needs creativity to make it work.
00:39:10And you're very creative.
00:39:13It's a lot for one person.
00:39:15I almost always do it.
00:39:17And if you want to take some time?
00:39:19Like going on vacation?
00:39:20Or if you don't feel well and you need to rest?
00:39:22If that's the case, I can close early or something.
00:39:26And have you done it?
00:39:28Not quite.
00:39:29But this is important to me.
00:39:31So important that you don't have anyone with you.
00:39:34It's easier to be self-sufficient and not depend on anyone.
00:39:39Hey, I don't know how often you're used to being paid, but here.
00:39:45No, it's not necessary.
00:39:47It is.
00:39:49Do you work here?
00:39:50I'm helping.
00:39:52I never expected you to pay me.
00:39:54Why wouldn't they pay you?
00:39:56You're spending a lot of time here and...
00:39:59I was going to hire someone.
00:40:02But I'm fine.
00:40:05Now it's for...
00:40:07For the church, right?
00:40:09Do we have the order?
00:40:12Yes.
00:40:13Of course.
00:40:19What's going on?
00:40:22Nothing.
00:40:25You've been watching me all the way.
00:40:28I'm sorry.
00:40:30But that's not it.
00:40:32I'm confused.
00:40:35About what?
00:40:37You're different.
00:40:38Seriously.
00:40:41Fine.
00:40:43Well, I thought that...
00:40:46I was judging you based on how little I saw you as my neighbor and...
00:40:51I wasn't even close to who you are.
00:40:55Oh.
00:40:57I'm sorry.
00:40:59I didn't give you a chance.
00:41:02If you assumed something about me, maybe it's because I gave you a reason.
00:41:07And it's natural to have certain assumptions after meeting someone.
00:41:13But...
00:41:14I'm glad we got to know each other better.
00:41:18Same.
00:41:22Pastor Kevin would like to hang it there.
00:41:25Now that I think about it, I've seen them on Sundays.
00:41:28I never thought they were yours.
00:41:31Do you always bring one?
00:41:33Every week.
00:41:34I thought they lasted longer than that.
00:41:36That's right.
00:41:37A family gives them away after the services.
00:41:40It's part of that.
00:41:41That's great.
00:41:43Hello, Rebecca.
00:41:45And Jason.
00:41:46It's good to see you.
00:41:48Hello, Pastor.
00:41:49How are you?
00:41:50I'm better.
00:41:51Jason has been helping me so I don't overdo it.
00:41:54Very kind of you.
00:41:56Oh, Jason.
00:41:57Your father called about the Christmas market.
00:41:59Could you tell him that the place I wanted works and that I'll book it for the bakery?
00:42:04Of course, I will.
00:42:06I look forward to seeing you.
00:42:07It's only a week away.
00:42:08There's still a lot to prepare.
00:42:10We'll support you in this.
00:42:12You can stay if you want.
00:42:13And thank you again for the crown.
00:42:15She donates one to the church every week.
00:42:18She's generous.
00:42:20See you later.
00:42:21Okay.
00:42:22Bye.
00:42:29Did you make them too?
00:42:31No.
00:42:32I only make them comfortable.
00:42:36Can I ask you a question?
00:42:38Sure.
00:42:39You mentioned before that you didn't like to depend on anyone else.
00:42:43Why is that?
00:42:46Well...
00:42:50Hey, isn't it...
00:42:52...weak to ask for help?
00:42:55I know.
00:42:57Depending on someone means trusting them.
00:43:03I used to want to be an interior designer.
00:43:05Like it happens with homes, offices, and so on.
00:43:09I was doing internships at a company and I was in a relationship with someone.
00:43:13Neil.
00:43:15Several people came up with designs for the technology company and...
00:43:20...that was perfect.
00:43:23I worked really hard.
00:43:25Testing styles and themes and then...
00:43:28...discarding them until I had the best.
00:43:32I showed it to Neil.
00:43:34And he told me he wanted to help me a little.
00:43:37And then...
00:43:38...he took my work and gave it to me as if it were his.
00:43:44He launched his career...
00:43:46...and left me behind.
00:43:50I'm sorry.
00:43:52The worst part is that I thought we were friends.
00:43:56But he was talking about me behind my back all the time.
00:44:01Between that and his plan, well...
00:44:05...anyone who says they want to help usually has a reason.
00:44:11What's my reason?
00:44:14I've tried to discover it.
00:44:17Isn't it just a help?
00:44:20I don't know.
00:44:22Well, it is.
00:44:25Everyone deserves to have people in their life who help them.
00:44:31That's an option.
00:44:34So don't believe me.
00:44:38I believe you.
00:44:45Thank you for coming with me.
00:44:47It's a pleasure.
00:44:49And for your work.
00:44:51You're welcome.
00:44:52Since you won't let me pay you...
00:44:55...can I invite you to dinner?
00:45:00I have a better idea.
00:45:09Here it is.
00:45:10Wow.
00:45:12Oh, right.
00:45:14Oh, and this one.
00:45:17Pumpkin or cinnamon?
00:45:22Both.
00:45:23Okay.
00:45:26I'll look for some dishes and glasses.
00:45:29Okay, what's your favorite?
00:45:32I can't choose.
00:45:33Depending on my mood, any would be my first option.
00:45:37And for...
00:45:38...nine o'clock at night?
00:45:42The cinnamon one.
00:45:43Excellent.
00:45:46Thank you for this.
00:45:48It's been too much these days.
00:45:50Don't worry.
00:45:53You said you have your own recipes for the restaurant.
00:45:56Do some people use them here?
00:45:58Uh, no.
00:45:59Although...
00:46:00...sometimes I use these leftover breads to make cake truffles.
00:46:05And how?
00:46:06Well, imagine that cinnamon one...
00:46:09...mixed with a few more ingredients...
00:46:11...giving it shape...
00:46:13...and bathed in chocolate.
00:46:15And it sounds delicious.
00:46:17How did you come up with a recipe for something like that?
00:46:20Just experimenting.
00:46:22Is that why you like to cook?
00:46:24Yes, and that's how I discover processes of creating something new.
00:46:28And when it tastes incredible...
00:46:30...it's even better.
00:46:32And the rest doesn't taste delicious?
00:46:35The first ones were a disaster.
00:46:38But I liked to find the balance to get the flavor.
00:46:42Maybe that's where the accounting side comes in.
00:46:45Balancing numbers...
00:46:47...but now with ingredients.
00:46:50And you'd be the chef?
00:46:52Maybe, to begin with.
00:46:53But the truth is...
00:46:54...I'd need others to cook...
00:46:56...serve tables...
00:46:57...and help.
00:46:58Because, in reality, I can't do it all by myself.
00:47:02Yes, yes, yes, yes. I understand.
00:47:05Hello!
00:47:07That's my mom.
00:47:08We're up front!
00:47:11Hey, if you don't mind...
00:47:12...the restaurant thing is just between us.
00:47:15Sure.
00:47:16Hello!
00:47:17What are you doing here so...
00:47:21Hello!
00:47:22She's Rebecca.
00:47:24Rebecca, she's Joyce, my mom.
00:47:27And Aaron, my dad.
00:47:28It's a pleasure to meet you.
00:47:29And ours too.
00:47:31It was time for you to bring someone.
00:47:34Mom!
00:47:35I'm kidding.
00:47:37He's very shy.
00:47:38And what are you doing here?
00:47:39Your mom was convinced that we don't have a lot of dough.
00:47:43So, here we are.
00:47:45Jason said you got hurt.
00:47:46How do you feel?
00:47:47Better every day.
00:47:49And really, your son has been very kind.
00:47:52He works hard and never complains.
00:47:54Really?
00:47:55He complains a lot here.
00:47:57Only when they make me clean the ovens.
00:47:59Yes.
00:48:00Mmm.
00:48:06Hello.
00:48:07It's good to see you.
00:48:09I hope you enjoy it.
00:48:11It's good to see you.
00:48:12Hello.
00:48:14Hello.
00:48:15It's a pleasure to meet you.
00:48:16Hello.
00:48:17How are you?
00:48:18Fine, I think.
00:48:19I heard there was a guest at the bakery.
00:48:23They already told you.
00:48:25They were excited.
00:48:26Really?
00:48:27I expect many more questions when they arrive.
00:48:30You know it's not a secret that you like Rebeca, right?
00:48:36Excuse her every time she wasn't happy about something?
00:48:40Why do you do that?
00:48:41Well, maybe I...
00:48:42And now you sacrifice your extra time to help her in the store?
00:48:47It's obvious.
00:48:48Very well, thank you.
00:48:49But I'm only helping her because...
00:48:51You like her.
00:48:53I won't be so direct.
00:48:54Yes.
00:48:56And here she is.
00:48:58Good morning.
00:48:59Hello, Rebeca.
00:49:00She's my sister, Miranda.
00:49:02Hello, Miranda.
00:49:03It's a pleasure.
00:49:04Likewise.
00:49:06Well, I'll look for a seat.
00:49:07See you later?
00:49:08Yes.
00:49:13I didn't know she was coming, Tusi.
00:49:15Yes.
00:49:17But she pretended she didn't see me.
00:49:20Well, you must be doing something right.
00:49:23Are you okay?
00:49:24You look tired.
00:49:26You surprise me.
00:49:28It's not work, is it?
00:49:30Actually, not as much as Jason.
00:49:36Jason, right?
00:49:37Yes.
00:49:38I hear a lot about you.
00:49:40I hope it's nothing bad.
00:49:42Good things, I promise.
00:49:44She's my friend, Angie.
00:49:45It's a pleasure.
00:49:46Likewise.
00:49:47I hope it's nothing bad.
00:49:49She's my friend, Angie.
00:49:50It's a pleasure.
00:49:51Likewise.
00:49:52And I was just telling her that she needs a break.
00:49:56And what about Sundays?
00:49:58Rest, I promise.
00:50:00Well, tonight is the art show.
00:50:02I went last year and it was sweet.
00:50:04So, are you coming?
00:50:06Isn't that right?
00:50:08Sure.
00:50:09And what is it about?
00:50:11Many families bring their carols to exhibit them.
00:50:14And it ends up having many styles.
00:50:16It's very unique.
00:50:18So...
00:50:20Yes, I'll go.
00:50:21Yes, yes.
00:50:22Good.
00:50:23Jason, do you think you could take her?
00:50:26We must make sure that Rebecca doesn't slip again.
00:50:29Hey!
00:50:30I'll do it.
00:50:31Start at 7.
00:50:33Okay, I'll pick you up at 6 and 45.
00:50:36Good.
00:50:37Okay.
00:50:38Goodbye.
00:50:42And what was that?
00:50:43A date, out of nowhere.
00:50:45Angie, he's not like that.
00:50:47Open your eyes.
00:50:50Ugh.
00:50:58It's not a date, Angie.
00:51:12I had no idea there were so many carols.
00:51:15My mother usually collects them.
00:51:17And she has many.
00:51:20Well, the different materials they have, the styles.
00:51:24When I think about this, I remember my grandmother's, you know?
00:51:28And how were they?
00:51:30Fragile.
00:51:32I swear.
00:51:33She had these cracks and splinters in the ceramic.
00:51:37I think she stuck them when someone damaged one.
00:51:42My mother collected them for a while.
00:51:44Until she realized that there was no room in the house to display them.
00:51:49And then she gave them away to most friends and neighbors.
00:51:53What about you? Do you have any?
00:51:56No, not anymore.
00:51:58When I moved to my house, I lost some boxes and I couldn't find them.
00:52:03You know, I remember the day you moved.
00:52:06Yes?
00:52:07Yes, I think it was snowing a lot and you and the others had to shake the snow that was in the boxes.
00:52:12Oh, it was terrible.
00:52:14Everything became very wet.
00:52:17First I unpacked my books just in case the boxes got wet.
00:52:21Look, I admit it, I was a little cold and I didn't offer to help you with your moving things.
00:52:31I forgive you.
00:52:34And what brought you here?
00:52:37It was my new beginning after my failed interior design career and discovering the following.
00:52:46I was excited and a little scared when I tried something like that.
00:52:51But a few months later my little store progressed.
00:52:56It seems that everything worked wonderfully.
00:52:59Yes, I think so.
00:53:01That's good.
00:53:02You work hard and you love what you do.
00:53:06It's good to see that great success.
00:53:10You deserve it.
00:53:18Well, do you have a favorite?
00:53:23No, not at all.
00:53:25Come on, you have to choose one.
00:53:28That's the problem, there are many.
00:53:30Top three.
00:53:33No, I won't.
00:53:35I buy in big stores because they limit the number of options and that stresses me out too much.
00:53:45What? What's wrong?
00:53:48Nothing, this is very beautiful.
00:53:52Yes, you're right.
00:53:54It feels perfect. Does it sound silly?
00:53:59No, not at all.
00:54:03Admit it, this is your favorite.
00:54:06Yes, this is one of my, I don't know, 25 favorites here.
00:54:17Excuse me, I have a great party. Do you have more of these?
00:54:21Let me check.
00:54:24Does anyone know why we have almost no inventory?
00:54:26It's Christmas, son.
00:54:28And everyone eats more.
00:54:30And we'll have more work.
00:54:32Every year. Five years ago it wasn't like that.
00:54:36Just think about how it will be when it's yours, Jason.
00:54:39Yes.
00:54:43Guess.
00:54:45What?
00:54:47We're almost up to date. Tomorrow at this time we'll have finished all the orders.
00:54:50Really?
00:54:51This is the perfect time because I always devote my efforts to the Christmas market.
00:54:59What?
00:55:01Nothing, I just forgot about that.
00:55:03Oh, I'm sorry. You're already doing a lot.
00:55:05No, it's nothing.
00:55:07It's not. Your responsibilities in the bakery keep you busy. Do you want to rest from this?
00:55:13I can do both. It's nothing.
00:55:16Let's go.
00:55:18We'll close early and go out.
00:55:20Why?
00:55:22Because you need a rest. And how about a dinner?
00:55:27Why not to take?
00:55:29Good. And where?
00:55:32We'll see.
00:55:39Here it is.
00:55:41What is this place?
00:55:43A place for dinner.
00:55:45Someday.
00:55:47Your future restaurant.
00:55:50I put my eyes on this place since the day it closed. I think it would be perfect.
00:55:58I need to adjust some things so that it works as I want.
00:56:02I think I would change the seats so that people have privacy, but still feel the presence of the place.
00:56:10It sounds very cozy and romantic.
00:56:12Yes.
00:56:14And then I would build the counter to have more space to work.
00:56:18How elegant do you want to do it?
00:56:20You know, I still don't know. I like the experience of the waiter and sitting down.
00:56:25Maybe because it's different from the bakery, but there's like an energy and also a quick rotation of customers and I do it more casually.
00:56:34Maybe a little bit of both.
00:56:36What if the process of orders is more casual, but with small spaces to feel more private and so people enjoy the evening?
00:56:47It's true.
00:56:50But well, for now that's not the important thing. It's not the time.
00:56:56It could be.
00:56:58The bakery doesn't work without you.
00:57:00Well, I think so.
00:57:02I just know that without someone who can take it, they could fail and that's not what I want.
00:57:09And your sisters can't do it?
00:57:12They can, but I don't think they can with the pressure of being fully in charge.
00:57:18It would be your fault.
00:57:20Maybe I'm a fool to risk opening a new restaurant when we already have something successful.
00:57:27It's not a silly question.
00:57:29If you don't try, you'll always regret it or ask yourself if you could do it.
00:57:35That's what led me to open my store.
00:57:38Was it difficult?
00:57:40I know it had to be, but how did you get what it is now?
00:57:46It started as a gift shop with decoration, but it had nothing special.
00:57:52I hadn't created anything.
00:57:53I love Christmas and I started making wreaths to offer them in the store.
00:57:57They did so well that I kept doing them all year and soon that became my focus.
00:58:02Not someone else's inventory, but my creations.
00:58:07That's what I want.
00:58:10So what are you going to do?
00:58:13I don't know.
00:58:15I don't know.
00:58:17I don't know.
00:58:19I don't know.
00:58:21I don't know.
00:58:23Maybe you could start by bringing your parents to see the place.
00:58:29Maybe.
00:58:31My design skills are rusty, but I could help design something whenever you want.
00:58:39Or at least I can donate amazing wreaths to the cause.
00:58:43Whatever style you want.
00:58:45Well, I'd love that.
00:58:50Thank you for this.
00:59:05Yes?
00:59:07Hello, dear.
00:59:09It's late. Is something wrong?
00:59:11Yes. I don't know what to give your mom for Christmas.
00:59:14You still have time.
00:59:16Not much.
00:59:17Could you think of something I mentioned?
00:59:20A can opener?
00:59:22Yours is broken.
00:59:24No, she already has a new one.
00:59:26A pajama?
00:59:28She already has too many.
00:59:30How about tickets to a show?
00:59:32No, you know I don't like that.
00:59:35You can say it's for her and Sara.
00:59:38Maybe.
00:59:40What will you give them?
00:59:42I...
00:59:45I don't have one yet.
00:59:47What do you mean, you don't have one?
00:59:49They're my parents.
00:59:51You've been busy, and I'm not saying this as a stupid excuse.
00:59:54Your arm, the concern for your store, the constant work with your handsome neighbor...
00:59:59It's a lot.
01:00:01Well, if you see something you think they'd like, or something you'd give them, talk to your parents.
01:00:06Of course.
01:00:08Are we ignoring Jason's issue?
01:00:10Yes.
01:00:12Ignoring indicates something different from denying.
01:00:14That's not true.
01:00:15Well, I...
01:00:17Hey, think about it this way.
01:00:19After Christmas and after your arm heals, won't you miss having Jason around?
01:00:24Sometimes it's better to be alone.
01:00:27And I've worked alone before all this.
01:00:30And I'll still see him, because he's my neighbor after all.
01:00:34Who did you ignore before all this?
01:00:37Do you think we won't see each other?
01:00:39I think you'll let the distance take over, and you'll convince yourself that you're fine without him, and that you don't feel anything.
01:00:47That's right.
01:00:54I'll be right back with his order.
01:00:59Don't deny that you like him.
01:01:01Fine, but only as a friend.
01:01:03Maybe more than a friend.
01:01:06But not enough to do something.
01:01:07Why not?
01:01:09Because of the fear of all women, isn't that right?
01:01:12No, that's not true.
01:01:14I've seen you two together.
01:01:16There's something beyond friendship, more than neighbors, more than colleagues, if you can call it that.
01:01:22There's a spark.
01:01:24Yes, I knew it.
01:01:27Fine.
01:01:29Maybe there's something between us.
01:01:31And what will you do about it?
01:01:33That's another problem for another day.
01:01:35Let's go back to shopping.
01:01:37Okay, here you go.
01:01:45Hi.
01:01:46Hi.
01:01:47Did you just open?
01:01:48Yes, I had to do some Christmas shopping.
01:01:51Oh, you missed December.
01:01:53Yes.
01:01:55Where's my gift card?
01:01:59I should have used it all.
01:02:01I have some, if you want, I'll look for them.
01:02:03No, don't worry, I'll look for them later.
01:02:05Do you need help?
01:02:07Maybe someone to hold the paper while you put the ribbon?
01:02:13Maybe you're right.
01:02:16Who is it for?
01:02:18My dad, he loves to read.
01:02:20Are they close?
01:02:22No, but they'll fly for Christmas.
01:02:25When do they arrive?
01:02:27The 22nd.
01:02:29That's great.
01:02:31Do you have the ribbon?
01:02:33Yes.
01:02:35Oh.
01:02:39Is it great?
01:02:43Okay, this one is also for my dad.
01:02:46Great.
01:02:48In fact, he already has a great pair,
01:02:50but he uses the noise cancellation function without noticing it.
01:02:53And that's bad?
01:02:55One day, my mom tried to call him several times
01:02:58while he was doing shopping for hours.
01:03:00She was convinced that something terrible had happened,
01:03:02but when she got home,
01:03:04she found him watching a movie on his tablet
01:03:07with his headphones.
01:03:09And with all that, he didn't hear the calls?
01:03:12Exactly.
01:03:14This is a good pair, but without that function.
01:03:17So we can avoid another panic.
01:03:19Good idea.
01:03:21Ready?
01:03:23Yes.
01:03:25Sorry.
01:03:33Ah, the ribbon.
01:03:48Ready.
01:03:50I don't want to make you any illusions,
01:03:52but this is the last one of that style,
01:03:54and it means that we only have the pineapple crowns left.
01:03:57Really?
01:03:59Yes.
01:04:00Okay.
01:04:02I think you're better than me at this.
01:04:04I don't think so.
01:04:06Maybe faster,
01:04:08but only because one of my arms is not in that thing.
01:04:11My dad is calling me.
01:04:14Hello?
01:04:17Yes, yes, calm down.
01:04:21You tried...
01:04:24Yes, yes, fine.
01:04:26I'll be there.
01:04:28What's going on?
01:04:30I need some help at the bakery.
01:04:32It's better if you go and help them.
01:04:34I understand.
01:04:36We'll continue later.
01:04:38Yes, go with them.
01:04:40Okay, bye.
01:04:42Pass me the screwdriver.
01:04:44That won't fix the pipe.
01:04:46Oh, you're here.
01:04:48Did you close the water?
01:04:50Yes, I think this pipe has a leak.
01:04:52Let's see.
01:04:54Is Gabi in the box?
01:04:56Miranda, can you see if she needs anything?
01:05:01Hello, Rebecca.
01:05:03Pastor Kevin.
01:05:05How are things going for the market?
01:05:07I have the instructions here.
01:05:09Perfect.
01:05:11Let me know if you have any questions.
01:05:13Okay, thank you.
01:05:15And how are your preparations going?
01:05:17Perfect. I'm almost ready.
01:05:19Jason has been working hard on this.
01:05:22He's excellent at this.
01:05:24He's successful at everything he does.
01:05:27At first I thought he was just a kid.
01:05:30I had my doubts about that, but it worked.
01:05:33It looks like Jason was a great answer.
01:05:37Yes, he could be.
01:05:39Well, I have to leave more of these.
01:05:42Could I stop by Jason's bakery?
01:05:44Would you like me to bring you something?
01:05:46Sure, that would be great.
01:05:50You're welcome.
01:05:52Bye.
01:05:54We have a lot to do for the Christmas market.
01:05:56I know, but at least we have a few more days
01:05:58for the Christmas cakes.
01:06:00So, let's work on priority.
01:06:02I hope the plumber fixes it.
01:06:04We can't open the water again until he comes.
01:06:07And we'll open it tomorrow?
01:06:09Of course.
01:06:11Miranda and Tom, finish cleaning.
01:06:13Honey, take the dirty dishes home and wash them.
01:06:15Gabi, it's time to close,
01:06:17so finish cleaning and go straight to the box.
01:06:20Jason, can you make the pumpkin pies?
01:06:23Actually, I should go back to the store.
01:06:25We could use some help.
01:06:27I know, I'll come back later.
01:06:29I'm sure your neighbor would understand if you told her.
01:06:32Yes, but I don't want to.
01:06:34Why not?
01:06:40Hello?
01:06:42You do too much for her.
01:06:44Rebecca depends on me.
01:06:46Maybe too much.
01:06:48Are you sure she's not taking advantage of your will?
01:06:50You spend a lot of time there.
01:06:52Yes, I do.
01:06:54Yes, maybe it's true.
01:06:56Of course we're right.
01:06:58It's not that you owe her anything.
01:07:00She could also be nice to you.
01:07:03Yes, I understand what you're saying.
01:07:06She can be difficult and impatient,
01:07:12clumsy and too perfectionist.
01:07:16But it's because she tries hard to do the best,
01:07:20for herself and without disappointing anyone.
01:07:24She's very talented and generous too.
01:07:29She's wonderful.
01:07:33I'm not helping her because I owe her.
01:07:36It's something I want to do.
01:07:40And being there, to be honest, is a break.
01:07:45It's refreshing.
01:07:47And I like it.
01:07:48And I like it.
01:07:50Well, can't she take care of the rest of the night?
01:07:54I understand what you're saying, Jason.
01:07:56But I think we'll feel better
01:07:58if you help us make everything work tonight.
01:08:01Because this leak is delaying us.
01:08:04Can I take your shift tomorrow?
01:08:07So you can go with Rebecca.
01:08:10Sure.
01:08:46Surprise!
01:08:48Great!
01:08:50Why didn't you tell me?
01:08:52You didn't want us to change our flights,
01:08:54but I thought about the Christmas market,
01:08:56and you need help.
01:08:58Besides, we wanted to be with you.
01:09:00I could look for them at the airport.
01:09:02I don't think so.
01:09:04Now, don't look inside, okay?
01:09:06We brought each present from our tree.
01:09:08I love them.
01:09:10They have no idea how much I missed them.
01:09:13Let's go, let's go.
01:09:15How do you prevent the glue from getting everywhere?
01:09:18You have some on your shirt.
01:09:20Here.
01:09:21Oh, I can't believe it.
01:09:23I'll look for something to clean it.
01:09:25You're welcome.
01:09:26Hi.
01:09:27Hi.
01:09:28Employees?
01:09:30My parents arrived today.
01:09:32Oh, that's great.
01:09:33Yes, and about that,
01:09:35I don't want to take up any more of your time.
01:09:37Now that they're here,
01:09:39they can help me.
01:09:41I understand.
01:09:42I'm glad that...
01:09:43Yes, I know,
01:09:45but I think I owe you this.
01:09:48I don't want to take advantage of your...
01:09:50will.
01:09:54What are you talking about?
01:09:56I know.
01:10:03Very well.
01:10:05You can call me.
01:10:08So,
01:10:10I'll see you at the Christmas market?
01:10:12Of course.
01:10:13Perfect.
01:10:14Well,
01:10:15goodbye.
01:10:22Rebecca,
01:10:23you need to teach me
01:10:24how to use this thing again.
01:10:26I'm coming.
01:10:28Christmas Market
01:10:40I'll spray it with water every other day,
01:10:42if you want it to last longer.
01:10:44You're welcome.
01:10:47Hi.
01:10:48Hi.
01:10:49Do you have artificial curtains?
01:10:51That's right.
01:10:54Who is this?
01:10:55We have a more traditional design,
01:10:57like this one.
01:10:58Do you want it?
01:10:59Do you like it?
01:11:00Please prepare it.
01:11:01Okay.
01:11:02Will you pay in cash?
01:11:04What's going on?
01:11:05Well, I don't know.
01:11:07Well,
01:11:08Mom needs a lot more cinnamon.
01:11:11I'll call Tom to bring some.
01:11:17It's one of the best years.
01:11:19That's right.
01:11:21It's not enough for you and your parents.
01:11:23It's great.
01:11:24It's great.
01:11:26How is everyone?
01:11:27What do they say?
01:11:28Four suppliers told me
01:11:29they exceeded last year's sales,
01:11:31and it's barely four.
01:11:33It's great.
01:11:34I had eight families in mind to help,
01:11:36but the donated part of the market earnings
01:11:38could make it possible for the church
01:11:40to help nine or ten families.
01:11:43It's wonderful.
01:11:44Yes.
01:11:46I'll see you later.
01:11:47Okay.
01:11:49Hi.
01:11:50Your store is great.
01:11:51My mother always mentions it to me.
01:11:54I want two.
01:11:55Okay.
01:11:56Which ones?
01:12:03Hi.
01:12:04Hi.
01:12:05How are the purchases?
01:12:06Good.
01:12:07I tried the cookies from the stand over there.
01:12:10Here, have one.
01:12:12What else do you have?
01:12:13I bought a leather diary for my dad,
01:12:15some cards painted for my mom,
01:12:18and this cinnamon bread from the bakery.
01:12:21Did you try it?
01:12:22Yes, I did.
01:12:24Jason, look this way.
01:12:28Is everything okay?
01:12:30Yes.
01:12:32Hey.
01:12:34I need to focus on this.
01:12:37I understand.
01:12:40Could I have one of those?
01:12:42Sure.
01:12:43Jason?
01:12:44Sure.
01:12:45Is that all?
01:12:46That's all.
01:12:48I'm sorry.
01:12:49I didn't think this through.
01:12:50Okay.
01:12:53Did you see them?
01:12:54I love their designs.
01:12:56Yes, that's right.
01:12:58And she's very talented.
01:13:08Merry Christmas.
01:13:09Merry Christmas.
01:13:17Rebecca.
01:13:19Hi.
01:13:20Hi.
01:13:22How did the sales go?
01:13:24Good.
01:13:27And you?
01:13:29Good. Yes, I think so.
01:13:34Are you okay?
01:13:36That's right.
01:13:38I wanted to say,
01:13:39I'm sorry I left you the other day.
01:13:41Don't worry.
01:13:42You have other responsibilities.
01:13:44I understand.
01:13:45It's true.
01:13:48But what's going on?
01:13:50And don't say it's nothing.
01:13:52Because I know you,
01:13:53and I know something is bothering you.
01:13:57I went to the bakery that day.
01:13:59And from what I heard,
01:14:01it's clear that you are resentful of me
01:14:03and for the time you've spent in the store.
01:14:06I wish you had told me
01:14:08instead of talking behind my back.
01:14:10But that's it.
01:14:12No, wait.
01:14:13I didn't say any of that.
01:14:15You told me,
01:14:16stubborn,
01:14:17difficult,
01:14:18and frustrating.
01:14:20And you didn't object to what your family feels for me.
01:14:25Rebeca,
01:14:26yes,
01:14:27I said those things.
01:14:28But I said that's the part that makes you wonderful.
01:14:32You are so intelligent and creative.
01:14:36Every trait you have,
01:14:38you use it to be incredible at what you do.
01:14:42I admire absolutely everything about you.
01:14:46And with my family,
01:14:48they were stressed about the escape to the bakery.
01:14:52But what you heard doesn't matter
01:14:54because I wanted to help you.
01:14:57I never,
01:14:59I never felt that it was too much or something like that.
01:15:02I love spending time with you.
01:15:07Don't you believe me?
01:15:12It doesn't matter.
01:15:14Thanks to you, we overcame the worst
01:15:16and the job is done.
01:15:19You have your job and I have mine.
01:15:23This whole situation was temporary
01:15:25and now life can be normal again.
01:15:31Normal?
01:15:35Is that what you want?
01:15:38It's the best.
01:15:43Okay.
01:15:46So, I'll see you...
01:15:49Later.
01:15:53Yes.
01:16:0312% more than last year.
01:16:05Oh, great.
01:16:06How was everything while we were at the market?
01:16:08Calm down.
01:16:09I think everyone was there with you.
01:16:12I'm not surprised.
01:16:13You were busy, right, Jason?
01:16:16Jason?
01:16:18What?
01:16:20No, yes, it's true.
01:16:22It was great.
01:16:27Well, how did the sale go?
01:16:31I don't know about you, but I'm hungry.
01:16:33What if we eat outside?
01:16:35I'm tired, but go.
01:16:37I'll keep some things.
01:16:39See you at your house?
01:16:40Yes, that sounds good.
01:16:41Oh, and we'll bring you something.
01:16:43Thanks, Dad.
01:16:44Okay, what do you want to eat?
01:16:57I ordered three tarts in advance.
01:16:59Okay, may I see your order?
01:17:01Of course.
01:17:03Nuts, pumpkin and apple.
01:17:12Yes.
01:17:14Merry Christmas.
01:17:16Be nice, okay?
01:17:18I'm sorry.
01:17:21Miranda, can you take care of the box?
01:17:23Yes.
01:17:24Let's go, Jason.
01:17:28What's wrong?
01:17:30I just wanted to talk.
01:17:31About what?
01:17:33Don't lie to me.
01:17:34You're not happy.
01:17:36But...
01:17:40Maybe you're right.
01:17:42But it's okay.
01:17:44Give me a few days and I'll be great.
01:17:48You won't be.
01:17:50You're not happy for long.
01:17:52And it's not just Rebecca.
01:17:57Have you ever wanted to do anything more than run this place?
01:18:01Yes.
01:18:02Really?
01:18:04I thought of a few different things I wanted to do,
01:18:07but each of them would become work.
01:18:11With good and bad days.
01:18:13Stressful and easy.
01:18:17But do you know what I love about our bakery?
01:18:20Your cream cake recipe?
01:18:25The joy it gives me to see us together
01:18:28and face the challenges of day to day life as a family.
01:18:33That's what I love.
01:18:36But I could see them out of work and still be just as happy.
01:18:41Really?
01:18:43Is there something you'd like to do?
01:18:47I'd like to start something of my own.
01:18:50In a restaurant.
01:18:52I love this place, but I...
01:18:56It's time to pursue your dream.
01:18:59I think that's wonderful.
01:19:01Yes?
01:19:02It's going to be difficult and the risks are...
01:19:05Big, I know.
01:19:07But if someone can make it work, it's you.
01:19:10I'll miss how you handle things here and how you keep us in order,
01:19:14but I want to see how you use your talent now.
01:19:20Thank you, Mom.
01:19:21It'll be better if I see you on Sundays, at least for dinner.
01:19:26Of course.
01:19:39Christmas Eve
01:19:41Christmas Eve
01:19:43Christmas Eve
01:19:45Christmas Eve
01:20:08Closed for Christmas. See you on December 26th.
01:20:16How long will your parents stay?
01:20:19I think three, no, four days after Christmas.
01:20:23You should ask Jason if he could come back and help.
01:20:27That time is over.
01:20:29And the whole work agreement was going to end.
01:20:32But your arm is not ready.
01:20:34It would be uncomfortable to let him come back.
01:20:36I'd rather do it alone.
01:20:38I wish you didn't.
01:20:40Well, if you can still do it, you can help me on Saturdays.
01:20:43Of course I will.
01:20:45But didn't you like having Jason here?
01:20:48Sometimes.
01:20:50I don't think I'd want to hurt you.
01:20:52And I think you know that.
01:20:54So, is it possible that you're using this to protect yourself?
01:20:58No, I...
01:21:01I don't know.
01:21:03You were happy with him around.
01:21:05You seemed calm and full of life.
01:21:08I don't want you to lose that.
01:21:09And if you let him go,
01:21:11I'm afraid you'll be here again.
01:21:14Locked up in this store.
01:21:16You're my best friend.
01:21:18And I really want everything that makes you happy.
01:21:21Just be honest with yourself about what it is, okay?
01:21:25Okay.
01:21:36The turkey is almost ready.
01:21:37Almost?
01:21:39How will we eat soon?
01:21:41Or 45 more minutes?
01:21:4320 minutes.
01:21:45But then you have to rest.
01:21:47Let him rest?
01:21:49Is he tired?
01:21:51How about we open the presents?
01:21:53If you keep yourself busy.
01:21:55Yes. Is that okay, Rebecca?
01:21:57Of course.
01:22:01It's on me.
01:22:03Oh, good.
01:22:06You're welcome.
01:22:10Oh, this is great.
01:22:13Something to do if the turkey takes a long nap.
01:22:17Is this from you, Jorge?
01:22:20Yes.
01:22:22Oh, perfect.
01:22:24Thank you, dear.
01:22:26Now, you.
01:22:28I'm curious to know what's been here since you delivered it.
01:22:32Who delivered it?
01:22:34Your neighbor.
01:22:36Really?
01:22:37Now open it.
01:22:39I'll help you.
01:22:46What is it?
01:22:47Let's see.
01:22:53I love it.
01:22:56It's beautiful.
01:22:59Where are you going to put it?
01:23:01In fact, you could look for a place.
01:23:05I'll be right back.
01:23:07Of course.
01:23:16Hi! Merry Christmas!
01:23:19Hi. I'm sorry. I know you're busy, but can I talk to Jason?
01:23:23I'm sorry, but he's not here.
01:23:24We needed more pastries and cakes at the bakery, so I went to look for them.
01:23:30Oh, okay. Thank you.
01:23:32Do you want to wait for him?
01:23:34Don't worry.
01:23:35Thank you. Merry Christmas!
01:23:46Rebecca.
01:23:48Hi.
01:23:50Your mom said you were here, and I needed to see you.
01:23:55Is everything okay?
01:23:57Yes, of course.
01:24:01It's good to see you.
01:24:04Likewise.
01:24:07Thank you for the present.
01:24:10You're welcome.
01:24:12How did you find him?
01:24:14Pastor Kevin.
01:24:16He helped me find the family that brought him. They gave me the right address.
01:24:21I love him.
01:24:23Not just because he's beautiful, but because you gave him to me.
01:24:30I have nothing for you. I feel terrible being here.
01:24:35Don't worry.
01:24:38But thank you for everything.
01:24:41All the time you gave me and tolerated me at the store, and for being the sweetest person I've ever met.
01:24:49I don't know, but it was never a sacrifice.
01:24:54It wasn't?
01:24:56Of course not.
01:24:58I've loved you every moment.
01:25:01Even when I gave you advice on how to clean?
01:25:04Or when I told you not to talk about me behind my back?
01:25:09Even then.
01:25:13Can I ask you for something?
01:25:16You could turn it into a gift if it makes you feel better.
01:25:19Yes, let's go.
01:25:22Please don't let us fall for that.
01:25:25I want more than that.
01:25:28And if friendship is everything, I'll accept it.
01:25:35Although...
01:25:37What?
01:25:40I want us to be more.
01:25:45Me too.
01:25:57Merry Christmas, Rebeca.
01:26:00I hope it's the best.
01:26:03It already is.
01:26:06Merry Christmas, Rebeca.
