Easier said than done.
My dream of seeing the whole world
led me to a job that had everything to do with travel,
but nothing to do with traveling.
Hi! Would you like a Dream Trip?
The first issue is free.
Hi! Would you like a Dream Trip?

Please, ma'am.

Not today. Thank you.
Would you like a Dream Trip? Subscribe and get a free volleyball.
Get a beautiful suitcase.
Hi! Would you like a Dream Trip?
You'll get this exclusive suitcase. It's super resistant!
It's hard fiber.
Wait, sir! This one's broken, but we've got others…
Oh my God.
Slow day?
It seems your colleagues will travel and you'll stay.
I'm so close to the goal, Mr. Hélio.
The deadline is tomorrow at 5 p.m. It will be tight.
I'll make it. You'll see.
This month's issue is out.
DREAM TRIP
-Taxi, ma'am? -Taxi?
Taxi, ma'am?
-Taxi, sir? -Taxi, ma'am?
-Taxi!
-Taxi, ma'am?
What's up?
I'm so angry. Freaking ridesharing apps.
-You colonized jerk! -Don't.
It's okay.
With these apps, Americans take Brazilian jobs and keep our money.
-It's unacceptable. -Let's go. Our shift is over.
-They got the message. -Sure. Let's just go.
People are so clueless.
I refuse to give in to imperialistic temptations.
-Stop acting crazy. -Don't be naive, Bárbara.
The US wants to ruin our economy. They don't want Brazil to be rich.
We have the Amazon, we have niobium.
Let's not talk about niobium today. Give me a break.
All right, I haven't had a great day either.
-Remember my co-worker Pri? -Yeah, she's nice.
That poser took a job at the duty-free shop.
And you're upset because she's selling imperialistic goods
that destroy our industry?
I've always wanted to work there.
The wage is better, you get discounts on smartphones, clothes, perfume…
Oh, yeah? What about protecting our economy?
Cheap chocolate, dude. That job was meant to be mine.
I was all set, but it turns out Pri speaks English.
What language do we speak in Brazil? Portuguese, bro!
-Look, there are beaches in Portugal, too. -Nice.
Just like here.
-You coming over tonight? -Of course not.
Okay, bye. I'm crossing the street.
See you.
Hi, Mom.
Hi, honey.
-All good? -Mm-hmm
I made that stew with turmeric.
Yummy.
Will you bring it to me? I'm so exhausted.
Mm-hmm. Sure.
JAPAN
Honey, let me ask…
Hey, Bárbara!
Get your feet off the ironed clothes!
It's all wrinkled. I can't believe it.
Sorry, I didn't see it.
What a mess!
Want to travel? Take your dishes to the kitchen!
Well done.
Be careful with my magazines! You're messing everything up!
I am?
All right.

I'm looking for flight AF53356... to Paris?
Wow! Are you going to Paris?
It's such a fabulous city!
The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre Museum…
I have a tip.
Don't go into the Louvre through the Pyramid.
The back entrance is less crowded.
You sure seem to know Paris well!

Ma'am?
Oh my God!
God! Mrs. Teresa. Somebody help!
Help!
-Call 911! -Is she all right?
Hold her head. Her head.
Passengers of flight AF53356 to Paris. Boarding now…
Take good care of her!
Poor thing. She missed her trip.
Trip?
She should be thankful to be alive.
Thankful to you, who can do CPR.
Don't you do that in your company?
No.
No CPR is needed to sell magazines.
You're not a flight attendant, like me?
Me? No, I'm not a flight attendant.
Wow, I thought you were a pilot.
You look like one.
-Disappointed? -Oh, no.
Of course not. I think it's great.
I'd love to travel the world, visit different countries...
It must be so nice.
Indeed.
Brazil is my favorite country.
-Where are you from? -New York.
No way. I can't believe it.
New York! I love that place!
The Statue of Liberty, Broadway, Central Park…
That is in Manhattan.
I live a hundred miles north of New York City.
Oh, I see.
Your Portuguese is really good.
Really? Thank you.
I met a Brazilian girl a long time ago.
You remind me of her.
Was she pretty?
I liked her a lot.
Well, Mr. Bradley, I have to go back to work.
Bye! See you around.
Bárbara, bye.
Taila! I'm sorry.
-Girl, you're late. It's five o'clock. -Really?
-What is it? -I can't believe it.
Look. Again, I didn't meet the goal.
What's the matter?
Look, Mr. Hélio. Just one.
I'm just one subscription away.
Please, I really need this trip.
You should have tried a bit harder, then.
Come again? One subscription.
She needs a single subscription to make her dream come true.
Give it to me, I'll do it.
-Really? -Of course! You're my sis.
I'll subscribe to this useless magazine. And I don't want this tacky suitcase.
-Actually, I'll take it. -Thanks.
Time is up.
Your friend is the first subscriber of the new cycle.
Maybe next year you'll win the trip.
Mr. Hélio, this is not fair!
I worked really hard!
I met the goal. I deserve the trip.
Otherwise…
I quit.
You know, if you let Bárbara go,
she'll get a much better job in no time.
-Taxi, sir? -Taxi, ma'am?
Can I call you a taxi?
Taxi, miss?
Taxi, ma'am? Taxi, sir?
Taxi?
Are you okay?
I need a breather, Taila.
So breathe and get up, 'cause the next herd is coming.
Come.
INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS
Taxi.
Do you need a taxi, ma'am?
-Taxi? -Taxi?
-Taxi! -Taxi, miss?
Taxi, sir?
Hi.
Hi!
-Hi. -Hi!
Didn't you sell magazines?
Yes, I used to. I'm very versatile.
Perfect. Would you like to be my guide in Rio?
Well, I guess so.
Have you ever been to Niterói? She'd be a great guide.
Born and raised.
Thank you.
Would you look at that!
The most beautiful place in the world.
It truly is.
Our problems seem so far away.
Don't start dissing it, okay?
We live in an incredible place. Look at that!
And Brazil is a rich country.
This economic crisis was created by the Americans.
Me? No, it's not my fault.
Don't worry. She blames everything on Americans.
The first world doesn't want Brazil to grow.
We have oil, the Amazon. We have niobium.
Niobium?
-What is it? -An obsession.
Ninety-eight percent of the world's niobium is ours.
Sure, you're right. Brazil is amazing.
But I still want to go to other places.
Try new things.
You remind me a lot of someone I knew.
I bet it's someone with a very boring life.
Know what? Come with me.
Run!
When Brad was a teenager, his brother had a Brazilian babysitter.
She taught Brad how to speak Portuguese.
-Brigadeiro. -No, obrigado.
Brad fell in love with the girl, who was one year older than him,
and they had a forbidden romance that got increasingly serious.
When his parents found out about it, they reported her to Immigration.
The girl was deported,
and Brad has had it in his head to visit Brazil ever since,
and hopefully meet his first love again.
But, in order to grow up, you need to experience new things.
I'm here, guys.
Oh, gringo...
-Look. -Ouch.
-Ever heard of sunscreen? -Hi, Taila.
-Hi.
Brad was 12 years older than me,
but he was like a typical Hollywood movie hero:
flawless.
Look what Brad gave me. A first-class amenity kit.
Oh, so cute! There's a tiny mirror,
like the ones colonizers gave to our natives.
-It's for when she comes to visit me. -In the USA?
-Yes. -That will be great.
And when is that?
As soon as I get my visa.
I just switched jobs and I work on commission.
It's my mother who pays the bills. She does craftwork.
How do you plan to pay for your trip?
My friend, a flight attendant, will get me a ticket.
He's from there.
Are you staying at your friend's place?
Friend with benefits.
How long are you staying?
I'm not sure yet. I won't even get a return ticket.
DENIED
"Denied"?
Mom!
-What's going on? -I can't believe it!
Mom!
Mom! What did you do to my magazines?
It was all here.
You destroyed my dream!
No, I turned an impossible dream into something to pay our bills.
Oh, sweetie…
Will you stop wasting your time with this nonsense?
You're 23 already.
Think about who you want to be, what you want to achieve, Bárbara.
Focus.
I was not interested in what I wanted to be or achieve.
My goal was to see things.
That's it!
It's perfect!
You think so, honey? Imagine when I paint it.
Wait! This one's been paid for. I'll make one just for you, honey!
Bring it back! Thanks, honey.
-I love you. -Hey.
-Look at that. -Your mom's chicken.
Exchange program, Taila! How come I've never thought of that?
It solves the visa issue.
That's for rich teens, which you're not.
This is an au pair program,
a type of exchange program for women over 18.
You take care of children
and the family covers your expenses to live and study in the USA.
-Are you going to be a nanny? -Au pair! Aren't you listening?
Poor children. You can hardly take care of yourself.
That's why you're going with me.
What?
You're completely out of your mind.
What kind of glue did your mom use? I don't even speak English.
We're staying in Brad's town!
Oh, Brad's town, that's fantastic.
Good for you. I'm not going anywhere.
We're staying.
-Not going. -Come on, Taila!
We're wasting our life away. This is a dead end.
Do you really want to grow old doing a job so useless
that people would rather use an app?
-Open your mind, okay? -Hi, girls.
Hi, Pri.
How's the new job?
It's mind-blowing.
There is so much imported stuff. Perfume, cosmetics, hair care.
Too bad I can't give you guys my discount.
Good thing I won't be needing it.
'Cause Bárbara and I are going to live in the USA.
Right, Bárbara?
Can you believe it?
Let me get a pão de queijo. They don't make it in the USA.
I miss it already. Sorry.
…the Dream Trip magazine.
Three months free plus a suitcase.
Ma'am?
Look, Taila. Snow.
Did you see the tiny mailbox?
It's so cute!
Look, Taila! You got to wake you up for this, Taila!
What is it?
The school bus from the movies! It's so cute!
I can't believe it. That's it! Are you out of your mind?
Waking me up to see a bus? What the heck is wrong with you?
Hey, call me if you need anything.
Cool, bro. I'm glad they can't understand us.
-I'm good. -Good luck!
We can go, lousy Santa driver.
No sleigh today?
Hi, Bárbara!
Oh, hi! Nice to meet you!
Welcome! Make yourself at home.
Oh, yeah. He's so cute--
For Christ's sake, you've just come from Brazil.
Okay, sorry.
-Let me show you the house. Come in. -All right. Excuse me.
So, we have the weekly cleaning…
Sheryll was a busy lawyer and a very demanding person.
She had a real constitution on the wall with the rules of the house.
Such as, before touching baby Josh,
washing your hands thoroughly
while singing "Happy Birthday"…
Again. Two times, please.
…twice.
Taila!
Come in! I'm Martha.
I'm Jeff.
Martha, Jeff. Taila.
-Taila. Welcome to our home. -Okay.
Your home.
Uh-huh.
May God help me.
My goodness!
What did I get myself into?
This is crazy.
Geez!
You're so incredibly tacky.
"Incrível."
Incredible!
Incredibuzz.
Thanks, sweetie!
Yeah…
Oh, God.
What will I eat in this house?
You really like bacon, don't you?
Bacon. Oh, you like bacon?
Your hair... is blue.
I really like it.
-It's azul in Portuguese. Yes. -Azul?
Taila, this is Lucas.
Ooh! Hello.
How are you, hottie? That's right, you're damn hot.
Thank you.
-You speak Portuguese? -I'm Brazilian.
-For God's sake! -I moved here as a kid.
-My bad. I'm such a jerk. -It's okay.
Mr. Kenner asked me to facilitate with the communication.
-He's my boss at the ski resort. -Where is their cute daughter?
That's our Katherine. Our Kat.
Our baby.
Why is she crying? What did I say?
Her name is Katherine.
She used to work for the NSA, but disappeared during a mission.
I thought I'd be looking after a teenager.
No, they don't need that.
They signed up for the program because they wanted company.
And to also help someone from a destitute country.
What? Did you say "destitute"?
Brazil? A destitute country?
How do I say "niobium" in English?
Even though I was tired,
I could feel the freshness of a new life in the air.
Any problem seemed small next to that feeling of freedom.
I was getting back the right to dream…
Bárbara.
Could you please put Josh back to sleep?
…and losing the right to sleep.
Hey!
Oh, Josh.
Don't cry.
Ouch, Josh!
Martha, give her some bacon. She likes bacon.
No bacon.
No bacon, no.
More bacon.
This was Kat's favorite dish, rabbit pie.
It's super fresh. Martha killed it yesterday for you.
I'm not eating cute rabbits while being watched by these animals.
Sick decoration.
Do you like our trophies?
Most of them are Kat's.
Like that bear.
I got this deer,
and that one's Jeff's.
Good.
I don't understand a word, but they look so happy.
They hunted all these animals.
They and Kat too. It's like trophies to them.
What's this?
It was Katherine's.
And now it's yours.
It was her pet.
Look at the picture.
It used to be alive?
-Yes. -Oh my God!
Oh my God!
Here.
This one.
This is your room, Taila.
I'll leave your baggage here.
The cub is here.
Well…
The tour is over.
If you need anything, you can find me at the ski resort.
Do you like skiing?
I love it! When it snows in Rio, I snowboard down the hill to work.
Really?
Of course not. I had never seen snow. It's my first time. I'm poor.
Come to the resort and I'll get you inside.
Really? For free?
Yes.
Then I'll come.
-I mean it. -Maybe you'll like it.
-I'm off. Bye. -Thanks, Lucas.
Cool guy.
Is it a date?
Why the long face? Who died?
Man, I'm exhausted!
I thought I was just going to babysit,
but I have to do laundry, iron, and cook too.
At least you can cook what you like, unlike me.
All they eat is sugar, fat, or cute animals they killed.
You're complaining with a full stomach.
Full of deep-fried food.
It's too cold.
All that sacrifice wasn't in vain.
We were going to study in the world's best educational system.
English 1.
Sorry.
Taila!
Watch out! I've already made two friends.
Mei-Li and Tai Zhuang.
Hi! Come here, girl.
I'm trying to find our classroom,
but she can't find our names in the English 1 class.
My English is non-existent. I register for English 0.
It's English 0.
English 0? How come?
The world's best educational system for this? Really?
How will I put English 0 on my resume?
I'm so sorry, Sheryll.
See?
Bárbara!
Brad!
I missed you so much!
I'm sorry.
-Yes. -I'm just exhausted.
But I'm so excited we're going out.
We're here.
Bárbara?
Good night.
Good morning!
I was getting the Jacuzzi ready for us to relax.
Good morning.
Brad, a question.
-Did you go to school here? -I did.
I took the flight attendant course in a flight school close by.
Can you take me to see your flight school?
I'd love to see it.
Okay.
So, this is my favorite. This is the Boeing 767 simulator.
It has a map of the entire world,
so the pilots can fly anywhere they want to.
-It's so cool. -Nice.
Yeah. Maybe we can go in.
Is this where you used to train?
No. This is where the pilots train.
-Brad! -Henza!
One second.
Bárbara, this is Henza. She is from Brazil.
We took the course together.
How are you?
Good to see you!
-Hi, how are you? -Nice to meet you.
I came back to get a pilot's license.
No way! That's amazing!
-Are you going to be a captain? -Yes.
-Are you taking a course? -No.
Actually, I'm not sure.
She only flew once.
I was kind of nervous, but I loved it.
Bring her for an emergency drill.
What's that?
An emergency training.
We need volunteers for simulations.
I can't. I'll be traveling on Monday.
We work with pairs, but you can come alone.
I mustered the courage to tell Sheryll
I wanted to switch courses.
…if I could change my course.
-Change your course? -Yes.
And do this "fly" attendant course.
-Flight attendant course? -Yes.
Instead of the English course.
Well, I've already paid for that course, so you're gonna have to do that one.
But I already speak English.
You're funny.
I soon regretted it,
because she started complaining about my work.
My exchange program was at risk of ending earlier.
…if you don't improve on these things, I'm gonna have to let you go.
I'm sorry.
Taila, here are your boots.
It's so funny. "What is your shoe size?" "Six."
-"Six." -It's a little different here.
In Brazil it's 35.
I need your weight to get the right skis.
It's a bit rude, but…
The arrow must be centered.
Perfect.
What the heck, dude?
What happened, Taila?
One hundred and thirty-four? I'm huge.
No.
-Here we use pounds, not kilos. -Oh, right.
-We eat so much here… -Hey, Taila.
Maybe it was all the bacon.
-Hi. -Hi, Brad.
This is Lucas. He got us the lift tickets.
-Nice to meet you. -It's my pleasure.
Where is Bárbara?
She called. She's gonna be late.
-Let me get him his skis. -I'm good, I brought my skis.
I've been using them for 20 years.
Wow! They're older than me.
I don't look it but I'm old enough to be your father.
I can't move. I thought it was like rollerblades.
Come on, Taila. Bend those knees.
Bend my knees. And then what?
Come.
Now we're talking. Now I'll--
I think I broke my leg.
What?
I'm joking. Let's go.
Hello!
Hi!
TICKETS
Hi!
Hello!
Excuse me. May I help you?
-Hi. -Hey.
I want to go skiing. In the mountain.
I'm sorry, the ticket booths are closed.
-Oh, okay. -Okay?
Oh, my caceta!
Sorry, miss. I didn't realize you were Brazilian.
-Are you Taila's friend? -Yes! I'm Bárbara.
I'll let you use my keycard, but you have to return it today.
Sure!
-My shift ends at 11 p.m. Promise? -Of course.
Let's get you the ski gear.
Thank you so much…
-Lucas. -You're welcome.
The boots.
Let me help you.
I'll get you some ski socks, or you might get some blisters.
Be right back.
-Hi. -Hi.
Okay.
Bárbara! Come on!
Bárbara!
Come down!
-Taila! -Come!
-It's easy. -It's easy.
Come!
-Come! -Don't be afraid.
Bárbara, you got this.
Come!
Come on, let's go.
Slow down!
-Bárbara! -Bárbara!
Oh my God!
Are you okay?
Don't move! Don't fall asleep.
He fell asleep.
Babies are cute. So peaceful.
-Brad is calling you. -I don't want to answer.
Answer him, dude.
No, I won't. You know why?
He wants to go to a hockey game and I don't want to.
You're in America. Your dream destination. Go have fun.
Taila, all I want to do now is get some sleep.
I'm out of commission.
-Why don't you go? -Not going.
Please, go with Brad. You're going to like it.
Is it fun?
For Christ's sake, Taila. Fun or not, please just go.
-Fine, I'll go. -Good.
-I'm not dead. -Thank God.
-Hockey game. -Tell me how it goes.
All right.
Bye.
Calm down, Josh.
The good thing about skiing is that the snow is like a huge ice pack.
Two days later, Sheryll had me back at work.
Calm down, Josh.
It's not a small thing. How can I keep you on after this?
That keycard provides access to the entire resort.
I know!
And I'm sorry. I swear it won't happen again.
I'm sorry, Lucas. That is just unacceptable.
Tell me this wasn't my fault.
I wanted to come give you back your keycard earlier.
-Then this happened-- -Are you okay?
I will survive.
Here is your keycard. Sorry for getting you in trouble.
I will survive.
Calm down, Josh. Hey.
I got him.
I've already told God I won't leave you behind
I'm taking you with me wherever I go
Are you for real?
I'll do anything not to lose you
Arerê A lobby, a hobby, a love with you
Lucas, I do hope we see each other again.
It's nice to have a friend.
If you want some ski tips or want to ski again, I can help you.
Thanks, but I should take a break from skiing.
-Got it. -I only have one day off a week.
Really?
Do you have plans for your day off this week?
Yes, I do.
Is it something you can invite a friend to?
Go!
-Are you okay? -Yes.
Sorry, Lucas. Are you okay?
Just kidding.
-Bárbara! How are you? -Oh, hi!
-I'm fine. -How are you?
Fine.
This is Lucas, a friend of mine.
I'm glad you made it.
A bit off the front.
Please do.
You're gonna be a little brown around the hairline,
but don't worry because soap is gonna take it right off.
Unbelievable.
What's that for?
No, no guns.
All right, fine.
Aren't we here for a picnic?
Hey, picnic!
-Let's go. -Picnic.
Later, hon.
No, guys, let's focus on the picnic!
Put the guns away. Picnic time!
Look!
Salada.
Salad.
Orange juice.
It's great for you.
Very fitness. No bacon.
Melão is the real deal. Do you like melon?
-Melão. -Try it.
Good?
-Delicious. -Eat up the melon.
Taila, dear.
We'd like you to look these over.
Very carefully.
"Petition adopted alien"?
Bárbara, is that right? They want to adopt an alien?
Yup, and you're it.
This is a petition to adopt a foreigner.
They want to adopt me?
-That's crazy. -How bizarre. You're not even an orphan.
If it happens, will I become an American?
Only if you agreed to it, which you won't.
Well, I don't know, Bárbara.
I have to give it some thought.
-It could be an opportunity. -Where is that anti-imperialist girl?
Back in Rio, shouting at the airport, "Taxi, sir, ma'am!" for peanuts.
You sure changed.
You told me to come, be more open minded get a fresh perspective.
Right, get a fresh perspective,
not change your style and principles.
-What the hell? -I swear, Bárbara.
I tried to keep my principles,
but then they gave me an iPhone.
What?
You are selling out!
You're jealous because your family doesn't want to adopt their alien.
Give me a break!
What are you laughing at?
Leave them alone. They're fascinated, they became my fans.
Something you'll never get.
Taila's new haircut looks ridiculous.
She looks like a prude.
We're here, Bárbara.
I loved the movie, Brad.
You slept through it.
I'm sorry. There were no subtitles.
-Good night. -Good night.
What?
Brad, I don't think this is my house.
What?
-Brad, this really isn't my house... -What do you mean?
-Let's go! -Hold it right there!
Sorry. This is a misunderstanding.
Oh, Brad!
-Sorry! I'm so sorry! -No!
No!
No! My friends! No!
Taila?
-Brad, you brought me to Taila's? -I got confused.
How come? Have you been here before?
-Yes. -No.
-Yes.
Make up your mind.
Bárbara, you're like a sister to me, I should have told you.
Told me what?
-We had a few drinks the other day… -Really, Brad?
-…got in the Jacuzzi… -Jacuzzi?
…we kind of kissed.
You must be kidding me.
It meant nothing to either of us.
You're speaking too fast.
I can't believe it!
Barbs!
-Bárbara! -Let me explain.
Are you okay?
Where to, miss?
Can this thing take me to Niterói?
Sure, if you're very patient.
I ran out of patience.
I just wanted things to work out, but they're only getting worse.
It's not fair. This was supposed to be my dream.
Do you miss Brazil, too?
To be honest, I don't remember much of it.
My mother brought me here when I was eight.
You were eight? So you must be a US citizen then.
I wish.
I have a temporary visa.
Now that I finished school, I have to get into college,
otherwise, I'll be illegal.
You'll make it. I know you will.
Be careful not to slip.
All right.
Here.
-Help me out. -What's that?
Okay.
Close your eyes.
Lucas, what is it?
Trust me. Don't open your eyes.
-Fine. -Be right back.
Okay.
I can see you.
So?
That's beautiful!
So?
Do you like it?
I love it!
Great.
Good morning!
Lucas.
Here.
Here!
Yes, boss?
Don't open your eyes.
-Okay. -Be right back.
Well?
I can see you.
You're fired.
That's beautiful!
I swear nobody ever watched the CCTV footage.
Ever. But Jeff became suspicious after I lost my keycard.
What did he see, for the love of God?
Enough to get me fired.
I'm so sorry.
I came here just to work during ski season.
I'll have to go back home earlier.
I won't be seeing you anymore?
It depends.
Can you skip class?
"Chipmunk"!
Chipmunk.
Again. "Chipmunk."
Chipmunk.
One more time, please. "Chipmunk"!
Chipmunk.
Move, gringo.
We're here in Upstate New York with the Kenner family.
After five years, NSA analyst Katherine Kenner
was rescued from captivity in the Colombian jungle.
This is truly an amazing story with a very happy ending.
Taila.
Your sister, Kat.
My two girls.
Taila, Mom and Dad said great things about you, honey.
Katherine, you speak Portuguese?
I worked at the Triple Frontier in Brazil for years.
And call me Kat, please.
After all... we're almost sisters.
All right.
I have my eye on you.
We're here.
Wait.
Mom isn't answering. She knew I was coming.
-What happened? -I don't know.
Perhaps ICE took her?
Calm down, Lucas.
-Hello? -Yes.
-Lucas? -It's me, Mom.
Sorry, hon. I was in the shower.
-I'm sorry. -It's okay.
Shall we?
I'm coming.
My love. How was your day?
-Why is it so hot here? -The pipes are frozen.
We practically have no water.
I decided to turn up the heat to see if it works.
This is Zoraia, my mom.
Hi. I'm Bárbara.
You're beautiful!
It's too hot. Let me look at the pipes.
Later, honey. There's something here for you.
What?
Open it.
What's that?
-It's from the university. -Yes.
Christ, Lucas, tell us already.
-I'm on to the next stage! -I knew it!
Congratulations, honey!
-I knew it, honey! -Congrats.
Now…
A university representative will come over to interview me...
here at home.
No problem. We'll clean up the house for you to see him.
You will nail it, son!
-I told you you'd make it. -Let's eat lunch.
It looks like she could use some rice and beans, right, my dear?
-It's almost ready. -We're hungry and hot!
I missed brigadeiro so bad!
I know how it is.
When I first came to the USA… Excuse me, son.
…I was a bit younger than you.
And did you also miss Brazil?
I really missed there when I was here, and I missed here when I was there.
When you live abroad, there's always something you'll miss.
I see.
I became a mother at a very young age.
It's hard to raise a child alone, more so in Brazil.
When Lucas was no longer a baby,
there was a job opening in my area here, so I came back.
That's great! What do you do?
Hasn't Lucas told you?
-Silly boy! -What?
Ouch!
Oh, no.
Lucas, I'm shocked!
I know.
I hope she doesn't come here.
Come on, guys!
No… Mom, give me a break.
I don't know where Lucas got all that shyness from.
He certainly got his voice from you.
Thanks, sweetie.
I have an idea! Let me tell you.
I love it! Wait, I'll take care of it.
Thank you, everybody!
-Lucas, your mom is awesome! -I know...
She is really great.
I want to call up here to the stage my beautiful son.
Lucas! My son, everyone. Come on!
Girls, go get him.
Come, baby.
We will sing a song that's very dear to us.
I sang it to him since he was a baby!
My son, everyone!
Let's sing!
All I want in life is to love you
To love you
Your love is like a flame Burning with pleasure
With pleasure
I've already told God I won't leave you behind
I'm taking you with me wherever I go
I've done everything not to lose you
Arerê
A lobby, a hobby, a love with you
Arerê
A lobby, a hobby, a love with you
Fall over here
SHERYLL INCOMING
Everything will happen
Arerê
A lobby, a hobby, a love with you
Arerê
A lobby, a hobby, a love with you
Arerê
Go back there. Come on, guys. Thank you so much!
I swear you'll pay for this.
-I'm dead serious! -Stop it, you rocked!
Thank you.
Well, Lucas…
-Yes? -I have to go.
Already?
Darn.
All right. I'll take you to the station.
No, you don't have to.
I've just called a ride.
Yeah?
All right.
Look, Bárbara.
I'm really glad you came.
I mean it.
Good luck with your dreams.
Barbs…
You going to hit me with that?
No.
But I sure wanted to.
I'm working, can't you see?
I'd like to talk to you.
This would have never happened in Brazil.
Maybe it was something in the food, some hormone Americans put in the meat.
Of course, Taila. The Americans are always to blame.
It's funny, you hate Americans,
unless you make out with one in a Jacuzzi.
It was just a kiss. We stopped right away.
He took me home and I never saw him again.
He likes you a lot.
And so do I.
Please, forgive me.
Bárbara.
Can you come here, please?
Just a minute, Sheryll!
Thank you.
Please. Your friendship means a lot to me.
All right, Taila.
It will go away.
A hug?
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
Now give me some space.
-Did you really forgive me? -Yes.
From the bottom of your heart?
Sure.
Every friendship is a type of exchange.
You put yourself in someone else's shoes and try to understand them.
And I'd still have to exercise my empathy and tolerance a lot.
With Brad.
But… What's that?
I called you here today to ask you for forgiveness.
What for, Brad?
I let love escape me once.
I can't let that happen again.
Brad, are you mad?
I know it seems like madness, but think about it.
If you marry me, you'll get a green card.
You won't have to work so hard to stay.
You can travel with me anywhere you want, study anything you want.
I know I will be happy...
if I can make you happy.
Brad... I'm so sorry,
-but I can't-- -No.
Please, don't say no.
Think about it.
Bárbara!
Lucas!
You scared me!
Lucas, what happened?
Be careful.
Wait, let me help you.
What happened?
-ICE took my mom. -No way.
Her friends are organizing a protest.
I can't stay here with an expired visa.
Calm down. You're freezing. Take these wet clothes off.
Hold on.
Take this.
-Bárbara! -Oh, no!
My God! Get in there!
Bárbara, everything okay?
Oh, hi!
I thought I heard screaming.
I'm okay. Thank you.
Okay.
Yeah, everything's okay.
You can come out now. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
-You'll stay here. -Are you sure?
We just have to be careful so no one sees you.
Josh! You scared me!
Oh, baby Josh.
Don't worry, he doesn't talk.
Let's go to sleep?
No, don't cry.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
Good morning.
Kat, did you lose anything?
I did.
Five years of my life being a prisoner in a jungle.
The only thing they fed me was water and bananas.
No bananas, then.
I'm so sorry.
Imagine how I feel coming back home to find out
that my parents want to adopt some Latin girl.
Don't generalize. I have nothing to do with the people that did you harm.
Okay, then.
-Eggs? -No, thank you.
Josh is acting funny today.
Oh, yeah?
It's like he's trying to say something.
Bye, darling.
-Bye, Sheryll. -Bye, Bárbara.
Josh!
Come!
It's ready.
Very hot.
Impressive!
Thank you.
I'd like to know who invented fitted sheets.
Let me help you. Just pinch the corners.
Straighten it up.
My turn to fold it.
And it's perfect.
Do you like it?
Today I'm happy and I sing
Just because of you
Today I'm happy and I sing
Just because I love you
-My goodness. -What's up?
It's from the university.
A message from the university
They scheduled an interview at my house
But I can't go back there anymore
I've been thinking--
Sing it out, please
Come on!
He's almost falling asleep
What if you do the interview here At Sheryll's house?
-What? -She's out all day long
Are you crazy?
It's the perfect house It'll make a good impression
-No way. -Change the address to here.
You are 100% going to get accepted
Help!
Help me!
Be quiet!
Kat.
Why are you doing this? Don't be jealous. Your parents love you.
-What are you doing here? -You tied me up here!
Why did you come to my house?
God, I just came here to learn English, bro.
Don't lie to me, Taila. I know what you want.
I just want to get out of here.
You knew that my job
was to gather intelligence to destabilize Brazil's economy
and force it to sell Amazon lands,
the oil and the niobium reserves!
Niobium! I knew it!
Of course you did!
I tracked your online history.
Your exchange student cover
hides a dangerous anti-American nature.
This is unbelievable.
Back in 2005,
you signed an online petition against Halloween in Brazil.
I wanted to change it to Saci's Day!
You had two dogs called Che and Fidel!
Yes. They had cute little beards.
What have you done to my chip?
What chip? I don't know about any chip!
What chip?
No! Don't kill me!
I'm suffocating in here!
Yeah, Mom.
I'm kind of in the middle of something.
Yeah, I brought the groceries in... What?
Bread?
You will kill Brad?
The bread's in the cabinet.
The other cabinet.
Please don't kill me!
Look, I'll just come up.
I'm suffocating!
Brad has nothing to do with it.
We are not done talking.
Kat.
Kat, please, get me out of here! I didn't do anything!
I'm going to die!
So?
-Is Sheryll leaving soon? -She's finishing her meal.
I feel ridiculous in these clothes.
Your interview will be great.
You look just like the type of preppy boy who gets into college.
-Bárbara, can you come here? -Oh, no.
-Go! -Be right back.
Martha!
Jeff!
Hey, iPhone!
Hello, Taila. Go ahead, I'm listening.
-Call the police! -Sorry, I don't understand.
Call the police now!
The temperature will range from 18 °F to 21 °F.
You gotta be kidding me.
Calling Tai Zhuang.
Hey, Taila, you have homework.
Tai Zhuang, call the police, please!
Help me! Tai Zhuang!
Bye, see you later!
No! Tai Zhuang!
I really liked the omelets this morning. Do you use milk?
Oh, yeah. Thank you.
Very delicious.
Come here.
-Goodbye, Sheryll. -Goodbye, Bárbara.
Lucas, I'll handle it.
-Oh, no! -God, what now?
Clean up. I'll answer the door.
-Hello! -Help me, bro.
Taila, it's a terrible time. Sheryll's kid isn't feeling well.
The Kenner's kid wants to kill me!
I was right all along.
She works for the NSA.
The Americans do want to steal our niobium!
Oh, no. Give me a break!
She tied me up in the basement and tortured me.
Your timing is horrible, Taila.
Okay, come in.
Close the door.
Everything is fine here. Gosh!
-You have no idea. -Tell me later.
-It's her! -No!
Go up to my room and stay there!
Hi.
-Are you Bárbara? -Yes.
-Lucas must come with us. -He can't right now.
-They want to deport his mother today. -The protest is about to start.
No! You have to get out of here.
Guys, you can't stay here!
For Christ's sake! Come with me.
-God! -Where are we going?
To the garage. Come on!
Hurry up! Come on!
Go.
Go! Hurry!
Be careful.
Great. Wait for me here.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
Lucas, come down!
Hi!
-Brad? -You disappeared.
I want an answer.
Brad, I'm sorry. I can't talk now.
-Why are you doing this to me? -Doing what?
Treating me so badly.
I'm not treating you badly. Now, please, go away.
-I'll talk to you later. -Hold on!
Oh, my caceta!
Excuse me?
Mr. Fields?
Hi! Hi, Mr. Fields.
"Oh, my caceta" is how we say "hello" in Brazil.
-"Oh, my caceta"? -Yeah, very good!
Huh. Oh, my caceta!
Yeah, cool. Please, come on.
-Please. -Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Mr. Fields.
It's a great pleasure to meet you.
It's really an honor to be receiving this opportunity. Thank you.
Oh, my caceta.
Excuse me?
My caceta.
Am I saying that right? Is that…
Oh, yeah! I mean, it's perfect. Your caceta is perfect.
Excuse me. I'll leave you two alone. Have a nice interview.
-So, Mr. Paredes. -Yeah.
Where is my chip?
Oh, no! It's Sheryll.
Calm down, Josh.
What am I going to do?
I've always worked really hard to keep my grades high.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to suggest to Lucas,
why don't you show Mr. Fields the house?
I'd love to, but maybe after the interview.
Why not now?
Yeah. I mean, why not now?
-Let's go. -Sure.
Yes.
So, Mr. Fields, that's the kitchen.
This is where we do laundry.
-Excellent. -Yes.
And there's the garage.
Maybe skip the garage.
-Hi. -Oh, hey, Bárbara.
-Sheryll. Everything okay? -Yes.
I forgot my pills. I left them in the kitchen.
-All right. -Pills…
So here we are. I mean…
Everything okay, Bárbara?
Oh, yeah. Sure. Josh is sleeping right now.
-See you later, then. -See you.
Bárbara, I need to tell you something.
I know I've been very busy, but don't think I haven't noticed your efforts
and how much your work here has improved.
It's like you're a completely different person.
-I'm impressed. -Thank you.
Thank you, Sheryll.
But you must be in a hurry.
I'm really glad I trusted you.
Actually, there's something else.
Thank you.
Let's speak later about that flight attendant course.
Wow! Thank you.
I forgot to show you this room.
-Bye! -Oh my God!
-How could you, Bárbara? -What?
You fooled me. You had another man all along!
Brad, I'm so sorry, I--
Him?
-Brad, no! -Brad!
No, Brad!
-No, Brad! -No! Stop it!
Come on, guys, please.
-Come on, guys, please. -Brad, stop it!
Officer!
Mr. Fields, I don't know who it is!
-Hey! Break it up! Police, break it up! -I swear!
-Police! -We can't let them take Lucas.
What's going on?
I'm sorry, Sheryll. I can explain.
Stop deportation!
My dream is not illegal!
Settle down.
DEFEND DREAMERS
Calm down!
Taila!
Drop your weapon!
-NSA official! -Get down on the ground!
Get down!
-This is a mistake! I'm NSA! -Relax.
I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to you.
Young man, you're free to go.
Mr. Fields, please. Give Lucas another chance.
His life depends on this scholarship.
I'm sorry…
but this man has nothing to offer our university.
Sir, what has happened?
His status as an alien is temporary.
We're taking him to Immigration court.
Lucas, tell them you've been here since you were a child!
Forget it, Bárbara. It's over. Look at what's going on.
Watch your head getting in the car, please.
Bárbara.
I am so disappointed in you, Brad.
It is not my fault that they took the kid.
How would I know?
I was trying to help someone who's lived here since he was little.
He does not know anywhere else
and you've ruined his only chance.
I'm so sorry!
I'm so stupid.
I thought you were a hero
and that this was my dream.
I'll do anything.
Leave me alone.
-Sheryll. -Bárbara, look…
what you did today was crazy, okay?
You brought strangers to my house,
a band of samba players, for Christ's sake.
I know.
But the purpose of an exchange program is to learn.
Not just you,
but the two of us.
Today I saw you stand up for what you believe.
I can help you with that.
-Yeah. -Sheryll... thank you!
Of course, sweetie. Of course.
Good.
Your Honor, I'd like to call our next witness, Mr. Bradley Hamlin.
-Please, interpret it. -Okay.
Your Honor,
I believe that the charges of battery against Mr. Lucas Paredes
should be dropped.
Everything was a huge misunderstanding.
It was actually an act of love.
And Brad finally lived up to his Hollywood movie hero looks.
He took the blame and explained that Lucas
was only trying to break up a fight caused by jealousy.
What's going on?
…suspicious of my fiancée.
Beyoncé?
All right.
Let's take a ten minute recess.
What do you think?
There's a high chance of deportation.
If the judge drops the battering charges,
he may be able to come back one day.
Just like his mom did.
Zoraia came here with a tourist visa, but she was working.
She went back to Brazil with an invalidated passport.
She waited eight years to come back.
Eight years?
It doesn't make sense.
Do you have Zoraia's number?
Hi, Zoraia.
Tell me something.
There was an eight-year gap between both times you lived in the USA.
But Lucas was eight when he came here. Is that right?
That means you were pregnant when you moved back to Brazil.
There is something I never told anyone.
I find the defendant innocent of the charges of battery.
God, thank God.
And I find the defendant guilty
of irregular permanence in the United States of America,
and order him deported to his home country immediately.
-Objection, Your Honor. -Order in the court!
Lucas has never been illegal.
Please, Your Honor, let her explain.
All right.
What have you got to say?
Lucas should have the right to live in the United States
because he is the son of an American citizen.
What is this about?
According to Mr. Lucas Paredes' records,
the identity of his father is unknown.
Do you have any idea who the real father is?
Bradley Hamlin.
Brad?
When Lucas' mother was a teenager, she worked as a nanny for Brad's family.
She is the Brazilian girl he was in love with.
They lost contact when Zoraia had to go back to Brazil.
But she had no idea she was pregnant.
Zoraia and I are really alike.
We both dare to explore new paths.
Brad.
Brad's job finally let him spend half of his time
rekindling his first love in Brazil.
And the other half, being a dad to Lucas,
who got another chance to get into college.
This time, using his talent.
There are many ways of getting where you want.
You just have to find your own.
Shyness and fear shouldn't prevent us
from finding out how far our skills can take us.
By leaving our comfort zone,
we discover the sheer size of our strength
and develop valuable skills.
You start seeing people in a different way.
I fell!
You open up to opportunities not just by learning a new language,
but also by practicing your ability to adapt to different realities
and to understand people who are so very different from yourself.
You see the world in a new light.
-Cheers! -Wasn't Brad your boyfriend?
Yes, Mom, but he became my father-in-law.
I'm dating his son Lucas.
Hold on. Come again?
Kat.
Sweetie.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh my God.
No hard feelings. I forgive you.
Where's my chip?
What chip? Is she off her meds, you guys?
He was my best friend.
Chipmunk! The squirrel!
The squirrel!
Chip is the squirrel.
There. Here it is.
Chip.
Had to give him a proper burial.
All my work from years in Brazil is here.
Thank you.
Good luck…
Bárbara.
-Thank you for everything, Sheryll. -I should be thanking you.
Two years go by in the blink of an eye.
I love you, baby.
The prospect of going away
doesn't make your feelings any less intense.
And you'd better don't go back to eating "junkie" food when I'm gone.
Boa viagem, Taila.
-Saudade. -I'll miss you, too.
-Break a leg, sis. -I will.
An exchange student's family is a real family.
And so is the love.
And you'll miss them forever.
Hey, Bárbara.
I know that the mature thing to do
is to say I'm happy for you, but--
I love you.
I love you, too.
I'll be back.
Hello! Would you like a Dream Trip?
Latest issue, straight from Brazil.
Hey, Barbs. Let's go to Brazil?
-Let's go. -Get in.
TRAVEL REPORT BY BÁRBARA S. NEVES
Can you believe it?
-Time to go back. -You mean for me, right?
'Cause you are going to London, Hong Kong, Paris, everywhere.
-So long, Bárbara. -You speak English now.
-You could work at the duty-free shop. -Are you kidding?
Look what Kat gave me.
-Do you know what this is? -What?
Five years of wiretapping Brazilian politicians,
oil companies, agriculture companies…
niobium!
Oh, no…
When I get to Brazil, I'll expose everyone involved.
I think I'll call it NiobiumLeaks or TailaLeaks.
And the greatest discovery is that the barriers that limit us
are like the borders on a map,
they are meant to be crossed.
Have a nice flight.
You, too, flight attendant.
And so, the story of my dream trip comes to an end.
A trip that made me discover the world.
And, more importantly,
that made me discover who I was.
After all, in order to grow,
you've got to try new things.
And fly
Beyond what the eye can see
I'm not afraid
To take the leap
I'm breaking free from my own self
I want to fly
I am not going to stand still
Where I am right now
I want the life I always dreamed of
I see the whole wide world
Spinning round and round
The voice of my dream is calling me
The time is now
I won't miss my chance
It's time to believe
And fly
Beyond what the eye can see
I'm not afraid
To take the leap
I'm breaking free from my own self
I want to fly
And fly
Beyond what the eye can see
I'm not afraid
To take the leap
I'm breaking free from my own self
I want to fly
I want the life I always dreamed of
