Buy wine.

Wine? It's over, kaput.

- We'll pay. - There is nothing!

Search!

What do we have here?

Delicious!

Pretty.

Laugh.

Laugh.

Don't be afraid.

No! No!

Don't be afraid, it's just wine.

- Wine. - I'm just a widow!

They still don't understand you!

- Mariulina! - Let go!

Mariulina!

Search here too.

Weapon!

Grenades?

Where are they?

I am not afraid of you.

And snakes too.

And spiders.

And I'm afraid to die.

- I'll take you. - Where?

To the partisan camp!

LA STORIA Episode 5

It worked, Davide!

We did it, it worked!

We are in Naples. Wow!

JASMINE TRINKA

FRANCESCO ZENGA, MATTIA BASCIANI

LORENZO ZURZOLO

VALERIO MASTANDREA AND OTHERS

This is my mother's school.

Hopefully I'll be back there soon.

I rented a room a little further away.

- There? - Yes.

This way we will be closer.

Eppetondo's money helped.

Eppetondo money?

Yes.

Don't look.

Here?

Yes.

Here you go!

You can live until Giovannino returns.

Thank you.

How long have you not seen your son?

Since he left for Russia.

Come on, come on! Don't touch these toys, okay?

Useppe!

It is he?

Yes.

He was supposed to come to the wedding, but he was not given permission.

I had to marry by proxy.

I'm sorry.

It’s okay, young people, they’ll catch up.

- Is your husband also at the front? - If!

He's an orderly in San Giovanni.

Works at night.

And during the day or sleeps,

or idle.

So, your things... Take them.

- Yes. - Put it here.

Come here. Come on, we won't bite you.

Here one evening a list of prisoners was read out on Radio Moscow.

They say the name Clemente was there.

Was there Giovannino?

Your husband was not mentioned.

But the neighbour who listened to the same wave

said that they called the first name of one and the last name of the other.

Sorry.

Well, at least there is fabric!

Philomena!

Philomena!

Lord, again!

- Give me some wine! - Dad, what else?

Well, why...

Shut up already, shut up! I hear nothing!

Lord God!

I'm sure that my brother is alive.

And Giovannino too!

Certainly!

After all, what does “missing in action” mean?

And the fact that he can be found!

- Of course! - Certainly!

Considering how many of them are missing, someone will be found.

Naturally, not all of them disappeared.

The Americans would sooner come!

- Americans? - Americans.

Well they will come

How do you think they will get from Anzio to Rome?

They will get there on foot.

Except on all fours.

- Let's see who lives on the balcony? - O.K.

Something here has warped the fabric.

- Where are you going? Should I watch a rabbit? - Yes.

Go.

One like this, one like that. Ready.

Hello! What is your name?

I'm Useppe.

She is from Naples.

Did he write when he'll be back?

Nino will return as soon as possible.

But he hasn't forgotten us, see?

How skinny you are.

Let me get you dressed.

Hand.

I can’t see anything through the window, there aren’t even mountains there!

Sleep, grandpa.

- Give me some wine! - He makes you feel bad.

Where should we put the postcard?

Yes?

- Sorry, signora. - Of course, come in.

- Can? - Yes.

I would…

...I wanted to ask you something.

These are letters from Giovannino.

I received the last one more than a year ago.

It came when I was still living in the village.

And I couldn’t understand...

...whatever.

Do you want me to read it?

"Dear Annita,

Today I had a dream.

I found you,

but you weren’t an adult like you are now,

but quite small.

I told you:

“How can I marry you now?

You're too small."

And you answered me:

"When you return from Russia,

I'll grow up already."

And then I answered:

"But here I am, back!"

I squeezed you in my arms.

And you immediately... grew up.

Right in my hands.

I can't wait to see you again

and take you away on your honeymoon.

Drive together all the way to Venice.

Where I am now is pure hell.

Very cold.

But I think about you

and it gets easier."

Hello!

Signorina! Santana!

- Maria, hello! - Hello, Santina. Are you visiting Philomena?

Yes.

Santana is back!

Where were you?

I went to visit my mother.

Yes, of course, she probably ended up in prison again.

I went to visit my mother, she has no one but me.

And they probably beat you up there again?

Shut up. You don't have enough money to even touch me.

- Bye! - Me too.

Signora Philomena,

Can I ask you to look after Useppe while I'm at work?

Let him not leave the room, otherwise we are busy.

- Certainly. - Are the cracklings ready?

- Almost ready, signora. - Cracklings?

Where did you find them?

They brought it to us from the village, and almost died on the way.

But we can all eat.

And you go to the Vatican, there is a mill there, you can ask for bread.

Philomena! Guilt!

What is this!

Do you want some wine?

Do you know where it is?

Have you sat down on the child’s ears? We need to send you to the village! Go.

Giuseppe, let's go.

Listen to me.

Now eat this, then drink more water.

And mum will try to bring you something tasty.

Don't ask them for anything.

Remember, you are the teacher's son.

- And Nino. - Nino too.

Bye.

- Good afternoon! - Hello.

Ask.

Baby. Just don't make any noise, okay? I need to rest.

Understood?

That's it, run.

Well, that's enough! You wrinkled my whole dress.

- Let's go down, there's a mattress there. - What mattress? I have things to do.

And you have no money.

So come on, get out of here. They are waiting for you at home.

- Bye, Diego! - And you, Santina.

Philomena!

It's me, Santina! Open up!

Santana!

- Come on in! - Hello.

Santana has arrived! Help me clean up.

- Here I am! - I'll make room.

- Where is my chair? - Here.

Philomena! Philomena!

Oh my God. I'm coming!

- I have nothing, at least give me some wine! - Yes, just a minute!

That is yours?

Yes.

They gave it to me at the hospital. The debt was returned.

Will you follow him?

I'll go and rest.

Don't eat it yourself.

Do you promise?

Do you want to eat?

Me too.

- What do we want to know? - How is he doing?

- Does he think about us? - Will he come back?

- What's there? - Swords.

Crossed swords.

- Well? - Cold. It is very cold there.

Like this.

See, I was right when I put a sweater in his package!

He wrote this to us himself so that you wouldn’t put chestnuts in his socks again.

- How is he doing? - Philomena!

Shut up! Be back soon!

- Where has everyone gone? - Quiet!

There is a strong man next to him.

This is a good sign.

King of Pentacles!

What kind of king is this?

- Who could it be? - Maybe that lieutenant? What was his name?

- Do you think it's Mozillo? - Yes.

Uze! Only villagers believe in these nonsense.

I see a woman.

Blonde.

Yes, we know what they are like there.

They pick up our men from the snowdrifts.

Tired, lonely, depressed, thin!

They drag you home, feed you,

they drag you into their hot beds - and that’s it!

Got it!

They don't let go anymore.

Well, finish it.

Your father has been screaming at the top of his lungs for half an hour.

Go ahead and leave. You don't need to listen to this nonsense.

Darling!

Why are you?

Let's be honest.

If you had at least consummated the marriage -

it's one thing.

But marriage by proxy?

I tell you as woman to woman:

listen, leave the house, find yourself a man! Have a nice day!

- We'll all be blown up soon anyway! - No way! No!

- Lord, child, child. - Let me pull it out.

No! You can’t just do that, you need to ask a question.

What do you want to ask? O.K. When will you find a man?

- No. - How can you not want a man?!

Where's the rabbit?

He... ran away.

Where?

In a pan with onions and tomatoes!

Did you kill him?

Mother!

Even your little boy is crying. You can't look after anyone.

- Shouldn't you be sleeping? - Come with me.

Go to sleep, when you wake up, come eat the rabbit.

That's it, come on.

Go to sleep.

Take oils.

No.

Last warning! Home!

Fast! Home!

We're leaving the hospital.

What did I say? Go home quickly!

Hello, signora.

Hello.

Hello.

Excuse me, do you have any scraps left in the shop?

We don't give them away anymore.

I can buy them.

As soon as this month's salary arrives, I will pay you immediately.

Please, at least give me the fat.

Wait.

Francesco's punctuation is poor, I can work with him, improve him.

Signora Ramundo, I have four children.

We ourselves eat the scraps that we used to give to the dog.

Goodbye.

Can I have some more?

One for each.

- I have a child. - One for each!

I warmed up some soup for you.

More!

I don't have it anymore.

Wine! Guilt!

Give me some wine.

Little boy!

Come on.

- Drink in silence, don't tell anyone. - I won’t tell anyone!

I will remain silent and pretend to be a fool.

Look how he laughs!

My cough doesn’t go away without wine. I keep coughing and coughing.

Would you like some wine?

Fast! Silently!

Let's go! Fast!

Not to catch thieves.

And they are looking for the last Jews.

And Christians too.

They are sent to Germany.

Uze!

What are you doing?

Think.

- Hold it. - That's for me?

- Yes. - I will.

What is this, flour?

Run upstairs, signora!

Scoundrels! Freaks!

Bastards! Scoundrels! Bastards! Not enough for you?

Pigs! Dirty pigs!

To me! More! More! To me!

This is ours! Is our!

Get out! Hands off!

Bastards!

Today we eat fresh pasta.

It will be a nice dinner.

Be careful, or it will bite!

I will go. Till tomorrow.

- Thank you, Signora Ida. - My pleasure.

- Goodbye. - Bye!

Uze, come on, show the girls how smart you have become.

The idle shepherd prayed out loud

But I didn’t get down on my knee

And he didn’t take off his hat

And God is deaf to him

Bravo, well done, Useppe!

"If you see Effrati Pacifico,

tell me that we are all healthy.

Irma, Regina, Romulus

and everyone who left for Germany is healthy.

La Dzarino will give you the money, but I still owe 120 lire."

Can?

Hurry up, let's go play!

What a mess? Behave yourself properly!

Come on, don't make mum angry. Quiet!

Giovanni, glasses.

They're upstairs. Now.

Grandmother! Let's go to!

No need, grandma is sleeping.

Where did you get the idea? I am not sleeping.

Maybe with grandpa?

Yes, children want to go out.

Mum, he's pestering you again!

I'm not pestering anything! Quiet!

Let's run. Money.

O.K.

Done.

Fast.

What is this?

Flour.

Mum. Mother.

Mum!

Mother!

Nino...

Mum, wake up! Why are you sleeping so much?

Uze!

Don't be afraid.

I'll get up now.

- Have you eaten? - Yes, and meat too.

Be a good girl,

let me sleep.

I'll be back soon.

Mum will sleep a little and come.

OK.

I'll get some sleep.

So cold…

Look what happened!

- My God, really? -Are you lying?

Without any doubts. Magician! This is good news.

Good for us. After all, only the poor suffer from war.

There will be peace soon.

Of course, Clemente couldn't just disappear.

Don't be so happy.

The Germans will stand to the end and Rome will not simply be surrendered.

Who told you this?

One important person in the hospital. He knows everything.

What exactly did he say?

That the sewer is full of mines

and if someone goes down there, all of Rome will fly into the air.

And the Pope left the Vatican. He was taken away on a special plane.

Did he leave us?

- But how? - Don't know.

Okay, enough chatting.

The cards said Giovannino would be back soon.

I'll go eat pasta.

Uze, will you be there?

Yes, I will!

I won’t refuse either, Philomena!

Okay, you deserve it today.

Give me some wine, I'm coughing!

Quiet! Then I'll give it to you, shut up! Quiet!

Dad, stop with this wine already! You can't drink!

- And don’t beg the child! - Okay, okay, don't shout.

- There is no strength! - My God!

- Signora Ida? - Yes?

How are you?

I think I have a fever.

I brought you some food.

No, Annita, no need.

You need to eat, signora.

You don't eat because your stomach has shrunk.

I'll leave the plate here.

Like this.

Just eat it all, okay?

Thank you.

Lights of the night

full moon,

voices from balconies,

the dog is running down the street.

And a car.

And the moon.

Tommaso!

There's someone screaming there.

- I hear voices. - What are they saying?

I don’t know, they just shout: “They’re gone.” Go take a look.

Who left?

I don't know, go see what's going on!

Annita, what are these screams?

- They are gone! - Who left?

Who?

Germans!

Dad! They are gone!

Who?

- Germans. - What's happened?

Who left?

Who left there? Who?

Germans! Philomena! Germans! Philomena?

- They are gone! - Who?

They are gone!

Gone!

Tommaso!

Tommaso!

This is true?

Yes, they're gone!

Mother! Mum!

Mother!

Freedom! We are free, come out!

They're gone, we're free! The Germans are gone!

Philomena!

Tommaso!

What's happened?

They are gone! I'll go have a look and then tell you!

Yes…

What are you doing here?

Where is everyone?

Come home.

Where did everyone go?

So go to hell!

Italy is free!

Rome has been liberated! Rome is free!

Yes, this postcard could have been sent from abroad.

But the seal was put in Capri. I don't understand.

What is written? "See you soon."

What?

- What does it mean? - Something in American.

- I think it's French. - What French?

This means "See you soon" in English.

How do you know that?

Everyone knows this.

He's already sleeping with Americans.

What a beauty!

- Is this the prince's house? - Yes.

Does your brother live there?

No, he'll be back soon.

Who's there? Well, go take a look.

- Are you waiting for someone? - No. Live up.

Carlo! Carlo!

I'm not Carlo.

My name is Davide Segre.

Come on in.

Ask.

Davide...

Why did you stand up like an idol? Close the door.

Would you like some more wine? Very good, from Frascati.

Thank you.

I have to go. I came to find out about Nino.

In the evening I have a train to Naples.

Nino didn't come to see us.

When was the last time you saw him?

We were in Naples together.

And then we agreed to meet here.

In Rome?

Is Nino also in Rome?

When will he come?

- Soon, son. - This is a partisan.

Friend of the signora's son, war hero. Was on the other side of the line.

Understood.

He never contacted me. So I thought...

Sorry, I have to go.

Wait!

- Take your time. Tell us about the front. - It’s especially interesting about Russian.

Well, the Allies occupied Florence. They are standing at the Gothic Line.

But I don’t know anything about Russia.

They said on Radio Moscow that the Russians were already close.

The war is over, right? When will the soldiers return?

Why these questions?

- What you want from me? - When will our men return?

They will never come back!

Well, let's tell our fortunes?

It is high time.

Everything will be resolved there, the Americans are already here.

Let's tell our fortunes.

Ten.

Won't you accompany me?

And then you'll come back to guess.

Come back.

O.K.

Is my dress ready?

- Ask. - Thank you.

I spend.

Thank you, signora.

What, are you embarrassed?

Come here.

- Hello, Santina! - Hello! Are you still here?

Yes, no one. Give me the boy.

Look what it is! I'll keep it for myself!

I soon.

Bye dear.

Let's be quick, I walk around in this heat without underwear.

Calm down, calm down, don't rush, otherwise you'll finish quickly.

Well done. Like this.

Power always spoils people.

And those who have it

both performers and subordinates.

Do you want it again?

Well done.

Awoke?

Will you have scrambled eggs?

Are you leaving already?

And here's another.

How can you leave without money for a ticket?

Here you go.

Take it.

Good luck!

Bye.

Come whenever you want.

Nino, where have you been?

- What do you care? - Where have you been?

You don't understand anything. Go to sleep already.

You will either die or go to jail!

Why do I need school? I will go to war, I will fight!

Mum!

Mother!

Who's that there?

Wait, I'll open it.

Hello.

Hello. I'm looking for Ida Ramundo.

Mother!

How you have aged!

Nino.

Meet Antonio.

Nino.

My oldest son.

- Look! - Hello.

Wow, handsome!

- What's happened? - Where is Useppe?

Annita took it. They are walking in the garden.

Right now?

They'll come soon.

I can send a student to get them.

Yes, if it's possible.

- Did you hear? Run to the garden for Useppe. - OK.

Run!

- Handsome. - Fast!

You have so many beautiful women here.

What a fine fellow!

And the signora is not a mistake!

I haven't had so much fun in a long time!

Well, what kind of guy is this Nino of yours!

I would have kissed him!

Let's go!

O.K.!

Who smokes?

- No no. - Just one.

- I will try! - Is it true?

- Come on too. - No.

Come on!

- Here. - Beautiful lighter.

A gun? American friends gave it to me.

- Well, how? - Strong!

Where is Useppe?

I didn't find him.

Okay, then I'll go myself.

No need, I have to go.

What time is it?

Nino!

- Where are you going? - I have a business.

But first I need to talk to you.

Mum, tell me, are you really Jewish?

Who told you?

Yes or no?

By mother - yes.

Nobody cares, mum.

Even Karl Marx was a Jew.

Come on, don't eavesdrop!

This is for Useppe.

Be careful not to eat it yourself.

Thank you.

- No. - This is for you, mum.

Take it.

I have to go.

Wait!

Nino!

Calm down, I'll be back.

Bye everyone!

When will he return now...

Useppe! Useppe!

Your brother came!

Useppe!

Where are you going?

Everyone leaves

and I'm always alone.

I am alone.

Always alone.

Always.

Mum, look, Americans!

Mum!

They're brown!

These are Americans.

NAZI BARBARIANS

"MILLENNIO": THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT CONCENTRATION CAMPS

Don't watch these horrors.

- Uze! - I don’t want to see her! Don't want!

Useppe!

What's happened?

So, this is not a rabbit or a beaver.

This is mink and must be handled with care.

Calmly, carefully.

Take your time, that's it.

- Hello, Nino. - Hello.

Your mum is gone.

She's still at school.

What about Useppe?

Useppe?

Where is this boy?

- Hello. - Hello.

Uze,

Why are you sitting there?

Come out, it's me, Nino.

Come to me.

Come out, why are you sitting there?

It is me.

Let's go.

Come on, good job.

What happened to you?

Why are the eyes sad?

Uze, the war is over.

The truth is over.

Uze, everything is fine.

Everything is fine?

I don't believe.

Come here.

I'm with you now.

I'm with you, Uze.

Nino is nearby.
