It's work.
It's stressful.
There's so much plastic

The kids get too much junk.

The forced cheer

I think we should do
something different.

Cartagena is one of the oldest

of the Caribbean.
It's famous for architecture
from the 16th, 17th
and 18th centuries,
and inspired Gabo's novel
'Love in the Time of Cholera'.
And the palenqueras
are icons of the city.
They are descendants from
the Afro-Colombians
that escaped Spanish
sl*very in the 1600s.

SEB: Yeah, Mama.
-(ANGIE LAUGHS)
-OK, todos.
Ao nuevo,
Colombiano,
aqui vamos!
(ALL CHEER)
I'm in love in the city
I'm in love
In the city of sound
I'm in love
It's kind of pretty
I'm in love
In the city of sound
In the sound, in the sound
In the sound...
Ao nuevo, New Year's Eve,
you have to run around your
neighbourhood with a suitcase,
with all the people
that you love,
so you can travel a lot
next year.
I'm in love in the city
I'm in love
In the city of sound...
(ALL WHOOP AND LAUGH)
I'm in love
It's kind of pretty
I'm in love
In the city of sound
In the sound, in the sound
In the sound
In the sound, in the sound
The city of sound
In the sound, in the sound
In the sound
In the sound, in the sound
(ALL LAUGH AND CHEER)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh...
-Vamos!
-Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-oooh
And when the clock
hits midnight,
you have to eat 12 grapes,
one for every month of the year,
and then you have to make
12 wishes.
(ANGELO BURBLES)
(QUIET CHATTER NEARBY)
Grangie, can I take Jelly?
Yes, of course you can. (LAUGHS)
JACINDA: Oh, hello.
ANGIE: Aw!
(CRICKETS CHIRP)
What did your final chapter say?
What?
The whole thing?
OK, I think I remember
the best bits.
It said...
...I learned that parenthood
is never finished.
I learned that families
can survive
astonishing ruptures.
I learned that love
is all that counts.
I learned that my daughter...
...is the strongest person
I know,
and she gave me something
as beautiful and as miraculous
as another childhood.
-OK, weirdo.
-(LAUGHS)
(ANGIE CHUCKLES)
Yeah, I'm much better now. Much.
Que es? (GASPS)
And then we burn
a big ao viejo doll
that is full of fireworks
so we can say goodbye
to all the bad things
that happened that year
and make way
for a beautiful new beginning.
('COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS'
BY MATTIEL)
Cheers.
Ahhh!
Everybody,
it's close to midnight!
-SANTI: Oh, whoa, whoa!
-OK, here we go! Here we go!
ALL: 10, 9, 8, 7...
(SANTI COUNTS IN SPANISH)
...tres, dos, uno!
Your shoes keep turning
Different shades of blue
The colours
Of the other fools before you
And skin keeps turning
Different shades of red
The colours
Of the other voice
That's swimming in your head
Make yourself at home again
Count your blessings
One to 10
Your body will be
Whole again
Your body
Will be whole again
Make yourself at home again
Count your blessings
One to 10
La-la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la
And make yourself
At home again
Count your blessings
One to 10
La-la-la-la-la...
Whoo!
La-la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la
