[VHS tape rattling]

[people chattering]
[Caro's friend] Caro, babe, I told you so.
-[Caro] Nuh-uh, girl. No way you did. -[friend] Yes, I did!
-Oh, look! We're on camera! -Hi, there!
-Hi! -What's up?
Sorry, babe, but this house is, like, super tacky.
That's what I was saying. I was saying we should do that cruise
around the Amalfididi Coast with all the awesome beaches!
These two just don't get it.
Lila, Bariloche has, like, some of the best nightclubs in the world.
It's, like, the motherland of foam parties and bucket drinks and booty sledding.
-Ugh. Disgusting. -I only desire two things.
My own exclusive nightclub venue
and another exclusive nightclub venue.
[foot tapping]
["Carísima" by Caro Pardíaco playing]
CARIZZMA
DJ DANDRUFF
[electronic music playing]
So which one are you picking for your birthday?
Yes.
-[music ends] -[crowd applauding, cheering]
That's weird. I don't think I scheduled a "DJ Chill-aver" for the DJ contest.
-["Membrillos" by Caro Pardíaco playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Caro singing in Spanish on recording]
-That DJ's incredible. -Totally.
Hey, there… Leo.
This is Caro. Pardíaco. [giggles]
Just thought I'd call, 'cause… I've been thinking.
I don't know. We could… maybe we could, like…
that… like, a hangout or make-out thing, or… No.
-[recording starts] -Hey, Leo! It's Caro!
I, um… miss you a lot? Or… I wanted to see you…
Mmm… How have you been? Mmm… Uh, how are you? Ah!
Uh, I'm… I'm good. God, no.
-[recording starts] -Hi, Leo! It's Caro Pardíaco.
I just wanted to see, um… if you'd like, uh… to see… see me? Or…
I don't know. There's more to life than nightlife, so I thought…
Maybe we could hang? Keep it cas…
[sighs] God. So sad. Carolina!
Hey, Caro?
-This is DJ Chill-aver. -[Chill-aver] "Chill-aver."
It's my last name. I have no first name.
[Ana] Either way, she's the big winner tonight.
-She did a remix of "Membrillos." -Of your classic, "Membrillos."
Oh! Thank you, sweetheart. Have you been having fun?
Oh, yes. "Membrillos" is the best song in the world.
Yes. I agree.
I'm sorry I wasn't listening. I've been just a little… lost in thought.
[both laugh]
Yeah, you seem a little sad.
Have you been feeling a little anxious?
Do you wish your life was calmer than it is now?
More… trad?
Oh, yeah. More trad. That'd be nice.
Lately, I've just been feeling lots of anxiety.
Well, now you've gotten to know each other. And… vamonos.
Do you feel like you've met your true love,
and it feels like everything and everybody is driving you away from them?
It's like she can hear my thoughts, Ana. Come on. Just let her finish.
[Chill-aver] I'll be here tomorrow at 6:00 a.m.
Hotwater Silent Rave.
Bodies moving sans stimuli, alcohol, and music.
Hydrated and dancing together, guided by the songs of our own hearts.
Sounds like my nightmares.
I love it! I'm so in. Okay, I'll be here first thing in the morning.
-Oh my God! I'm so excited! -[Chill-aver laughs]
[groaning]
[whimsical music playing]
[music swells, stops]
Ana…
Get the emergency linen.
[music resumes]
OMG. I love it! Like, nature.
It's so trad-quil! I love it! [chuckles]
Welcome, friend. My name is Coqui.
Wow. Thanks. This after-party is crazy!
[Coqui] Please don't… shout, okay?
-And it's not "after." It's "before." -[Caro] Ooh! I love it.
Oh, BT dubs, we're friends with DJ Chill-a--
Quiet, please, dear. And I don't know "Chilla."
This way. Follow me.
The fuck's a "before-party"?
It's before the after-party.
So, a party?
[music ends]
[Coqui] We've got all-you-can-drink lukewarm water.
Just take some hot water and some cold water, and voilà.
-[whisper-laughs] -[Ana] I figured.
[whispering] Hello.
The workshop on tree-hugging is about to start. We'll be over there.
Ah! They're real tree huggers! Ha!
-Oh my God. -[sniffs] Welcome, new friends.
Tell me your soul name, please.
This is, like, a farmstead, isn't it? Are there animals here?
In a way, yes. Because we're animals blessed with the gift of reason. [laughs]
In that corral over there, our companions are sunning their assholes.
-Caro, come on. Let's go. I'm not-- -Look, Ana. Ana, Ana! It's Leo.
[dreamy electronic music playing]
[music ends]
I know a lot about the language of the body.
And based on how you're standing, I can tell that you're angry.
Of course I'm angry. I sent you like a million messages, and nada.
Like, you just totally ghosted.
Oh, Caro. Oh my goodness.
Misunderstanding.
I don't even touch my cell on the weekends.
Amazing.
[Leo] In fact, I think I have an average of…
three-ish minutes of screen time a day? Two-ish?
-You? -Twenty hours or something?
What defines a person?
Aren't we animals blessed with the gift of reason? That's what Coqui said.
No. It's who we become when we give up our cell phones.
-[chuckles] Wow. -[Coqui] Hey, friends.
We're about to start poetry with compost.
And the pairings are…
Keto and Chuli,
Pita and Betaniel,
and Caro and Leo.
What? Like…
Which means Caro's friend with the negative energy will be wheeling with me.
-[Ana] Me? -Yes.
No, I'm good, actually.
Ana, don't be so negative. Let's go.
[Leo] Just perfect, Caro. Perfect.
What a special gift of the cosmos in our hands right now.
It's like we're connecting with tradition.
[Coqui] Thanks to Amalia's pies, it all sticks together much easier.
It's almost like… organic gluten. [grunts]
That's so beautiful.
-[Coqui grunts] -[Caro] Who's Amalia?
Our bovine, darling.
Her tiny body produces all of this, 12 times a day. It's such a gift.
[Leo] She's like a little compost machine.
[Caro] So cool. [gagging]
-You okay? You need a break? -Yes!
No, no, no. I wanna--
[gagging]
Caro? Caro, I think I've hit my limit today. I'll be at the car.
-Oh, come on. Don't be so-- [gags] -[Ana] See you. I'm out.
[Caro gagging]
Come on. Let's finish this ashtray. [gags]
Thanks for coming to the Alkaline Festival.
Before we all scatter to the wind,
I propose that we dedicate ourselves to healing.
-The dedication. -It's really great, right?
-[Pita] Yes! -[fingers snapping]
Hello, there, friends. I'm Betaniel.
-Hello. -[Coqui] Hi, Betaniel.
[Betaniel] Today, I dedicate myself to improving my life,
and I'm gonna stop being tardy.
Because I'm always running late to every little thing.
Like, I barely get there, you know?
But today I say, "Stop. That's it."
That's, like, the funniest thing I've heard in my entire life.
Oh! Wait a second, my love. Please, try to remember the rules, okay?
And whisper when speaking.
Of course.
Beta?
Now be gifted the contract from Pita, and dedicate yourself to healing.
-Here, my dear. -[Betaniel sniffs]
Here comes the prick.
[whispers] Aah! [chuckles]
[fingers snapping]
-[Caro] Hello. I'm Caro Pardíaco. -Hi, Caro.
-Hello, Caro.
I dedicate myself to improving my life. And I'm cutting back on social media
'cause, like, our socials don't define who we are,
we're defined by who we become when we give up our cell phones.
I'm just quoting Leo. [laughs]
-That's awesome. -[Coqui laughs]
[Caro groans]
[intriguing music playing]
-[fingers snapping] -[Caro] #Healing.
[Ana] I'm sorry, Caro, but I think we should forget Chill-aver.
She's the one who recommended that awful place,
and she didn't even bother to show.
I mean, I thought it was great. Like, really, really great.
I would've stayed longer.
I don't wanna bring your vibe down, but that place was sketch.
What an amazing experience. I'm so relaxed and happy.
You signed a literal blood pact.
Don't you think that's a little too intense?
That's how they used to do it, Ana.
I'm respecting the traditional way of doing things.
-Caro, do you actually trust those people? -Oh, absolutely.
[Coqui whisper-screaming]
[whispering] He's dead! Somebody killed Betaniel!
Pita! He was assassinated!
-Somebody assassinated Betaniel! -[whispers] What are we going to do?
[blade slashes]
