Silence in the classroom!

Children! Silence!

- What do we have now? - Turn!

Turn. Fine.

Signora Ida, Proietti was laughing at you!

- Let's write a dictation? - Proietti!

OK. Open your textbooks,

let's continue.

Words with "zhi" - "shi": life, dinner, belly...

Slow down!

Life,

dinner and stomach.

Now – words with “shi”.

Words with "shi".

So,

The main thing is to remember that “zhi” and “shi” are written with a vowel.

What's the matter?

Sorry.

"Zhi" - "shi" is always written with the vowel "I". For example, the words:

sew…

awl…

- Shilo. - And a bump.

Cone.

LA STORIA Episode 8

It's mum!

Hello! At the device!

- Who am I talking to? - This is mum, Useppe.

Hello, who is this?

This is mum, Useppe. How are you

Fine.

- Have you had breakfast? - Yes.

Is Magdalena there with you?

Yes, Signora Ida! I'm here!

Fine.

Useppe, if everything is fine, then I will return to the students.

AFTER ELSA MORANTE'S NOVEL OF THE SAME NAME

Fine?

O.K, Mum.

Bye.

Let me.

Ready.

Useppe!

No, Useppe! In shoes!

No, Useppe! Please! You too, Bella!

I just made the bed! Well, why?

Forgive me, but she will have to go to the weaving shop.

She doesn't know how to do anything, but she needs work.

But with Useppe it was much more fun!

I understand. Just…

I can't leave him alone at home all day.

- Then let him at least walk in the yard. - Don't worry.

Your dog looks after him as if he were his own.

Look, Bella!

- We've been since four, boy! Leave! - Let's go, Bella.

Nino!

Nino!

Come home quickly! The four of us are kicking the ball again!

Don't make me scream!

Nino!

Well, what do you want, mum? Be back soon!

Come home quickly!

Crap! I have to go, guys.

- Till tomorrow. - O.K.

- Go to the toilet and go to bed. - Give me your paw!

Good girl!

Useppe!

Useppe!

Useppe! Native!

Calm down, baby!

Calmly.

Useppe!

Quiet.

I'm here.

Breathe. Breathe.

Wait a minute.

It's okay, baby.

Sleep, dear.

Signora Ida!

Signora Ida! Signora Ida!

Take a seat.

Where did she run?

- Hello! Useppe is on the phone. - Useppe,

this is mum.

This is Useppe.

- Everything is fine? - Yes.

- Did you drink coffee with milk? - Yes.

Listen,

I closed the door because you weren't feeling well yesterday.

Slight fever.

But when you feel better,

I'll let you and Bella go for a walk. Aren't you offended?

- Okay, mum. - Okay.

Since everything is fine,

I'll be home in one o'clock. O.K.?

Bye.

- Bye. - Bye…

Uze...

Either pay up or get off. All.

- A hundred lire? - Yes.

- Hold it. - O.K.!

- Hello! - Hello!

Can I have two doughnuts?

- Little ones? - No, big ones.

Amazing.

This is for my son. He was a little sick.

Useppe!

What?

- How are you, baby? - O.K., Mum.

- I brought doughnuts. - Fine.

Bella, they brought us doughnuts!

What is it?

Mum, Bella pooped on the dish cloth.

Don't say that, okay? It's a bad word.

Say “done the job”, that’s all.

Just don't be angry, mum.

Why be angry?

The rag was old. I'll throw it away and that's it.

What is this?

What are you drawing?

Bloody tears.

What are you doing?

- Uze? - Ugly!

- That's it, mum! - What all?

You should shine on the street!

Why sparkle?

Then they will say a lot of nice things to you.

That's it, mum!

Alright enough. You are clean.

Let's get out. Wait a minute.

Like this.

O.K.

Dry yourself.

Where are you going? Useppe!

Where are you going, Useppe?

Useppe, come here! Go to mum!

- I don’t want to see my aunt-doctor! - There will be an uncle.

The best doctor in the world. Stop it!

- More, mum! - Stop! Put on your underwear!

Get dressed quickly. That's it, Useppe!

Enough! Stop doing that.

Come to me. O.K. Stop.

Well stop it.

Your ticket?

Tickets!

Show me, please!

- It would hurt me? - No.

Just don’t play around and don’t twitch, okay?

Lie down.

Just lie there.

Vibrations indicate the rhythmic activity of living cells.

At rest, straight lines appear in the figure.

- What does this mean, doctor? - This means that the EEG is not indicative.

There are no special changes in the brain.

So he's healthy?

Judging by the blood test, there were no injuries,

complications after infectious diseases

He does not have any organic brain damage.

- Can I not worry? - Come back in six months.

We will keep the patient under observation.

Sick?

All the best, signora.

Mum, let's go home!

Yes, Useppe, let's go.

Smart child.

Let's go to bed, Bella.

Bella! Go here.

- Useppe! Where are you going? - We'll go for a walk.

- As soon as I finish, I’ll return the keys. - Fine.

I don't for a long time. Thank you.

Bella! Where are you taking me?

Look, there's the sea!

Bella, let's run to the sea!

Look how beautiful it is!

Someday it will all be ours!

It's a joke, it's a joke. This is all just a joke.

It's a joke…

Bella, you made me feel like it's raining!

Well, Bella, don't interfere. I'm sleeping!

Davide!

Go away, boy.

I'm Useppe.

Still the same Useppe.

I am going home.

I'll go too.

Can I come with you?

Davide! Can I come in?

This is me and Bella.

Davide, can I come in?

Come on in, baby! Open. Come in!

Sit here.

You know, I often thought about you.

About me?

Yes baby.

And I about you.

You and your brother are so different!

But you are similar in one thing.

In joy.

Only he rejoices in the fact that he lives,

and here you are...

You are happy about everything.

You are the most joyful creature in the world.

I understood it at first sight.

And since then I haven’t forgotten you for a minute.

And I - you.

- And where did you go alone? - We went to the sea.

That is, to the river.

Think?

Yes.

And what about?

About poetry.

But I don't write them.

I was told that you are a poet.

Who are the poems about?

About Bella.

Will you write it now?

Trees, stars,

The light of the sun lies on the ground, like discarded chains and rings.

And the sun itself seems to be made of feathers.

From a hundred, no, from a thousand feathers!

The moon, like a staircase, is flooded with light...

Just look at Bella,

she will immediately disappear from view.

- Your poems talk about God. - Yes.

Are you sick?

No no.

Just a little tired.

I need to sleep.

But we'll see each other soon.

Fine.

- I'll come to your place for lunch, okay? - Yes.

So, we agreed.

We are waiting for tomorrow.

Bye.

Let's go, Bella.

Useppe!

Close the door please.

Did he say when he would come?

We'll meet later.

- Bella! They'll give it to you later! - But is it really today?

- I brought wine. - Yes.

Well…

He'll probably come later.

- Let's start dinner, okay? - O.K.

Bella, don't climb on the table, be patient.

Don't worry, Bella! I won't swim.

Look! Did you see this?

Hey, you!

- Is there anyone else with you? - No.

- Are you alone here? - Yes.

Who are you?

I am Giuseppe, and this is Bella.

Why did you come here?

Play.

Is this your first time here?

No, they've already come a million times.

You don't have to tell anyone you saw me, okay?

Not a single living soul!

They're looking for me.

Do you want to smoke?

- So her name is Bella? - Yes.

She is old?

She's younger than me.

Yes? How old are you?

Five?

Almost six?

I'm almost twelve.

We also have a dog at home.

Look.

It's me.

THREE TEENS ESCAPED FROM PRISON

Here my name is Shimo.

Pietro.

Don't tell anyone my name

and don't talk about me.

I ran away because I want to be a cyclist.

A new film is currently premiering at the cinema.

I want to go watch with a friend.

Honestly,

I don't care about the movie itself

The main thing is that then we will go eat pizza.

What the hell! Who ate my beans?

Did you do this?

Listen, dog!

I get it, your dog ate it, right?

I was already afraid that they were pirates.

Pirates? Haven't you heard of them?

Robbers. They have a whole gang.

Everyone knows about them.

Sailing back and forth on a small boat,

they take things from people and set houses on fire.

I know these guys, but they are healthier than me.

Uze, remember: you can’t catch their eye.

They are bad.

Understood?

Okay, I really have to go.

Come visit me sometime. Let's swim together, Uze.

- I can't. - So what?

Come here tomorrow, I will teach you.

O.K., bye!

Bye!

Uze!

Useppe!

Come here.

Don't remember me?

It's me, Patricia.

- Patricia? - Do you remember?

Did we ride a motorcycle together? Do you remember?

- Yes. - And this is Bella, right?

- So. - Bella, hi!

Look, she hasn't forgotten me.

I immediately realised that it was you.

Your niece.

Yes, niece! You are her uncle!

Bunny, look who's here! This is Uncle Useppe, wave to him!

"Hello".

You know, Uze...

So much time has passed, but I still can’t believe it.

I didn’t think at all that something like this could happen.

If he just left me, even if he left me pregnant...

I would still expect him to return one day...

But this…

Not this!

- No. - Not this...

You have no idea how much he loved you.

At times I was jealous, because he loved you more than me.

Our stop, it's time to get off.

I was glad to see you.

Good luck.

Say "bye" to Uncle Useppe.

Let's go, bunny.

Bye, Uze.

Hey kid! Dogs are not allowed on the tram.

What more! Only dogs were missing!

Look what you did!

Tired?

No.

What did you do today?

I can not tell.

Clear.

Where did you go?

In the forest by the river.

And where is this forest?

I told you, mum! By the river.

What's interesting?

My friend lives there, we are meeting tomorrow.

Your friend?

- Child? - What a child!

He's twelve and a cyclist.

Eat.

Shimo! Shimo! I became an uncle!

Strange, there is no one.

Everyone leaves.

Everyone leaves.

I'm all alone.

Everyone leaves.

Everyone abandoned me.

I'm all alone.

Bella!

Bella!

It's okay, it's okay, Bella.

Paw... Paw...

Bella, eat it, otherwise your mum will get angry.

Well done!

Don't run! I might drop the bottle.

Bella, stop!

I'll leave the bottle here, and you make sure it doesn't get stolen.

Like this.

- Hello. - How many buns is this enough for?

Not much and not little.

- Thank you. - Please.

Let's go, Bella.

Davide!

Who's there?

It's me and Bella.

I brought you some wine.

Are you sleeping or what?

We agreed to meet.

Davide, can you hear me?

Enough!

Enough!

Leave me alone!

Get out of here!

We're all dead!

Mother!

Mum!

Mother! Open up!

- Mother! - Useppe!

- Mother! - Useppe!

What's happened? What's happened?

Small! What's happened?

What happened, Useppe? What's the matter?

You know everything! You know everything!

- What's happened? Uze! - You know everything!

You know everything!

Mother…

Mother…

Mother…

Mother…

Mother.

Useppe, why aren't you sleeping?

What's happened?

Useppe!

Useppe!

What's the matter?

What's happened? Useppe!

Useppe!

Useppe!

Useppe!

Useppe! Look at me, Useppe!

Useppe! Open your mouth!

What happened with me?

Nothing, it's all gone.

No! I scored for you, but you can't eat the ball, Bella!

Are you eating well?

Yes.

Eating?

No. Sleeping over a plate. Doesn't eat anything.

Let's try to reduce the dose to avoid asthenia and depression.

We'll have to do an encephalogram again:

nothing can be detected between seizures and...

Let's leave him alone.

Goodbye!

- Signora Ramundo! - What?

Take it.

Maybe we should take him somewhere in the summer?

I saved money to take him

to the sea during the holidays.

But why go to the sea?

There's too much iodine in there. It would be much better to go to the mountains.

- You can’t go to sea in his condition. - In which condition?

We are trying to understand whether

his epilepsy is congenital or acquired.

Sorry,

I know that his brother...

Wait for me.

- Is this treatable? - He's being treated!

- What if not? - I’m telling you, it’s being treated.

Mum, I will be cured!

You will definitely be cured!

Let's go to. Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

I check my homework.

This year is the last one.

Come to me.

Mum, do you love me?

Crazy.

This year we will take a vacation. In Vico.

It is not far from here.

A colleague told me that you can rent a small room there.

There is a pond and a farm with horses outside the city.

- Will Bella come with us? - Well, of course, he will go.

Let's all go together

on a bus with hunters.

In Vico...

Bella will play...

with sheep,

chase horses along the sea!

What are you talking about, Uze?

Today is Sunday?

Yes, mum is home today.

I bought us some cakes.

Let's stay together.

Wait for me. I need to go to the laundry.

Wait here.

I will come soon.

Mum, did you wash your black shirt?

Fascism has fallen.

Let's go, Bella.

Uze!

Useppe?

Two chickens. Two!

Pirates...

But I didn't say anything. Then I come to my father with butter...

Let's go, Bella.

I will kill these scoundrels!

...six slices of bread, fruits, vegetables, four eggs.

And do you know what he tells me?

Stand here! Don't go!

I'll kill them!

I'll kill these bastards.

I'll kill you! The thieves!

Wow, cold one!

Come on! Move away, let me.

That's it, fuck off.

Wow!

Are you sure you took everything?

- The thieves! - What the heck?

- Are you crazy? - What are you doing, little one?

- Abnormal! - I'll kill the bastards! You are all creatures!

Did you tell me that?

Yes, to you! I'm Shimo's friend!

- Why did you burst out, idiot? - Come on! O.K.!

Grab him!

Well, look what we do with Shimo's friends.

Get him here! O.K.!

What the hell? What's the matter?

What's wrong with him?

He's foaming at the mouth. We must leave!

Bugger, you killed him! What have you done?

Dog! Crap! Let's run away from here!

Get off your feet!

He's going to eat us now.

Let's row!

Push!

Let's get out of here!

Have you seen Useppe?

- He seemed to be leaving. - Thank you.

Bella!

Where is Useppe?

Bella!

Useppe!

Useppe!

What's happened?

Can you talk?

No? Go home. Come on!

Let's go with mum.

Let's go. O.K.

Wait a minute.

Bella…

REPUBLIC

Useppe...

Baby,

mum needs to go to school.

I'll be back in half an hour.

- No, mum. - Yes, honey.

Today is the last day.

I'll be back soon, I promise you,

I promise, son.

- Come on, please. - Mother…

Where is everyone?

Where did they go?

Where?

Overall performance is good. The children are trying.

I think it's time to move on to first grade.

- Does anyone mind? - No.

Signora Mancuso, how are things going in your class?

Give me a sec.

Mother!

Mum!

Mother!

What's happening?

Her son is sick.

What's happened?

The police have arrived.

What's happened?

The woman from the fourth floor, Signora

Ramundo, has not come out for two days.

- Apartment? - 12.

12. Magdalena, take her to her.

Otherwise I can barely walk. Go.

Go your separate ways!

Clear the passage!

Gentlemen, please. Disperse everyone.

Step back!

- We've arrived. - Here?

Yes.

Open up! Police!

The signora has not left the house for two days.

It's the police! Is there anyone?

Open up!

Signora Ida, this is Lisette! Open up!

- Do you hear the dog barking? - What's happening?

- There's a dog there. - Go downstairs, Magdalena.

Do you hear barking? And there is still a small child.

Signora! Police!

Open up! Open up!

Move away.

Signora? Signora?

Signora Ida never regained her sanity.

She is now in the hospital of Our Lady of Mercy.

I went to see her several times.

Everything is fine.

She doesn't remember anything.

And all the time...

smiles.

- Take it. - Look what I have.

I wanted to tell her about my granddaughter.

But he never did.

I said nothing.

Let's see what's here.

Shall we go for a walk, Ninetta?

Look! Dog!

Smart girl! Well done!
