You can sign here? Is Alejandro there? Yeah? Is Maruja there? Yes, but right now he’s taking a shower. Ah, now… Well… well, tell him I called. I’m Luisa, a colleague from the office. OK. I tell you. Say. Elisabeth… No, it’s not me… It’s just that… Well, it’s just that he’s sleeping.
Ah, well, well… Well, I’ll call her later. No problem. Okay, yes… In a while, I don’t know…, at 4 or so… I’m Miguel, a classmate from school. Okay, I’ll tell him you called. Thank you. Ciao. Bye bye. Say? I wanted to talk to Gustavo. I’m your brother, David.
Oh, hello, David. Gustavo is not there. Has gone out. Do you know if he has gone to university? No, I do not think so. At this hour, he’s probably at the club, playing tennis. Should I tell you something? Well, yes, I have to talk to him. About mom’s birthday.
OK. I tell you. But call the club. Mr. Rueda, please. From who? From Maribel Botero, from CAMPOAMOR ABOGADOS. Well it’s not there. He is traveling, working in Bilbao. Do you want to leave a message? No, no, it’s not necessary. Are you going to be away for many days? Until Thursday.
Come back the same Thursday. Well, nothing, I’ll call you on Friday. OK. Bye bye. You or you? Maruja, come a moment. Look, I present to you Ignacio Valdés, from Oficsa… Hello, how are you, how are you? Well and you? Excuse me… Olivares Street? Let’s see… Continue down this same street.
You will see a square… Plaza Santa Águeda… Well, that’s where… Thank you very much, very kind. Sorry… The Valencia highway? Yes, go straight ahead… and at the traffic light, turn left. Thank you. Bye bye. Ana, Felipe… Meet my brother Alberto. Hi how are things? Very well and you? Nice to meet you.
We really wanted to meet you… I wanted to meet you too… Hey, is this bus going to Puerta del Sol? Yes. Ah… And there’s still a lot left? I’ll tell you… I also play in Sol. Memories on the radio And what do you remember especially from your youth?
I especially remember the day I first saw the plastic. The plastic? Yes, yes, the plastic. This was around the year… 54 or 55. Before plastic, life was very different. When plastic arrived, life changed a lot, especially at home. I remember that in schools, for example, they gave us powdered milk in the morning…
American aid. Yes, as a result of Franco’s agreements with Eisenhower, who visited Spain in 1955. The regime sought international recognition. Yes of course. United States, the Vatican… Argentina; Perón and his wife, Eva Perón, came from Argentina… Exactly. That was, if I remember correctly, in ’56.
Wasn’t it earlier? I think… Yes, I think so… In any case, he was talking to us about powdered milk… Yes, very bad powdered milk. I took it with cocoa, a lot of sugar and cocoa. Well, to what I was going… For the children, the issue was a problem,
Because every week we broke a glass glass. For children, and for families… Buy a glass every week. Buying a glass every week was more expensive than buying milk… The fact is that I perfectly remember the first plastic glass I had: you threw it on the floor and it didn’t break.
Amazing, right? Yes, amazing. All of Spain was an amazing country… And what other things do you remember? Well, I have memories of important events that impressed me a lot… When Che was killed. It was in 1967. I was 32 years old. For those of my generation, the news was like a bomb.
So it was not yet the poster myth. It was a living myth. It was a time of attacks against great myths. Yes… I remember a year later the death of Luther King, in ’68. And the Kennedy brothers;
First John, in ’63, and then Robert… But the one that impressed me the most was Che. And regarding the advances of science, what news do you remember as most impressive? The most spectacular thing was the moon landing. I remember perfectly. On July 21, 1969. We saw it on television.
At 7:45 he left. Sorry for the delay, guys… But what happened to you? We were worried… Nothing, nothing… Nothing important, wow. You got wet… A little, yes… I just left the house. I saw that it was raining… And you didn’t have an umbrella… No, I went back in to look for one…
To look for an umbrella. Yes… But I didn’t have the keys to the house… And you couldn’t get in. Clear. I called the neighbors’ house and they lent me one… And then… a traffic! Horrible… And there wasn’t even a free taxi.
Luckily I saw Elvira, a friend of mine, who was passing by and she took me to Plaza España. But the traffic was terrible… It took us almost half an hour. And you came on foot from Plaza España? Yes, of course, what a remedy. A quarter of an hour on foot…
And how it was raining! Well, come on, dry off a little and we’ll get started. Yes, let’s get to work, it’s very late. Oh yes. It’s already a quarter to ten.
