May You Be Very Happy

Valeria's friends throw her a surprise party at the flat, with a veil made of toilet paper, a game about the groom and a lot of advice, while the men watch the first leg of the football final at a taco stand around the corner. Make wishes and toasts with may, give advice, say mine, and say what you're scared of.

THE STORY

It's Wednesday night, the sixteenth of December, three days before the wedding. Valeria's best friend from work, Paty, has filled the flat with pink balloons, and when Valeria comes home, twelve women are waiting for her in the dark. Around the corner, Julian, Diego, Andres and Don Roberto are eating tacos in front of the first leg of the football final. Late at night, on the balcony, the bride tells Sarah what she's scared of. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
