Vittorio!

Arturo!

Hi Nicola. Fiorella. She had a seizure.

Bad you know? Long. We're in psychiatry here, huh!

In neurology they refused us. They are full.

They told us to try here, sorry!

- How long did it last? - 3-4 minutes.

- There's a shelter. - It's full.

- We could reopen aisle 3. - We're under staffed for 3 aisles.

Aida!

You dropped this.

She doesn't eat. She responds badly.

And she doesn't take my medicine. After a seizure she's more temperamental than usual.

Maybe she could use some downers.

If she is stubborn, I must know her.

Robby, put her on IV. Just hypertonic.

A vial of valium, because then we start again.

Wouldn't it be better to give her something a little stronger?

No. Bombarding her with drugs doesn't do any good, ma'am.

Better keep her under observation, eh!

- I know that's how they do it in neurology. - With bricks in the head.

- Doctor Lodigiani, psychologist. - Pleased to meet you.

Don't worry. Bring the medical records.

And then bring everything you have at home. Tests, prescriptions, school notebooks, etc.

- Everything that you have collected in...? - 12 years.

She got sick right away, she was three months old.

She was as thin as a nail and if her high fever came, she had convulsions.

- Good morning. - Good morning... Antonelo!

- Aisle three open. - Just a moment, I just got in.

- I think it's... - Essential, cryptogenic. We've been told.

- Yes, that's what we were told. We consulted...

20 Professors but... Of those who shoot.

But unfortunately nothing.

Convulsions have started even without the fever.

Always stronger, longer. - When she has a seizure it's scary to look at her.

Lady. Tomorrow we will talk about it, don't worry.

I need 24 hours to recommend a treatment. Is that okay?

Fiorella! But why was Aida there today too?

She's hunting for overtime. The animal is still unemployed.

- Put me on call. - Bye!

... I waited three hours for you, it was so cold!

We have shifts. I get off at midnight.

Oh, she's so hot!

Hi! They're going to do the electroencephalogram

No fucking way.

Collodion makes my hair dirty.

Why did you smile at me before?

- You didn't look like a doctor to me. - What did I look like?

A plumber.

Why don't you smile at doctors?

Psst! Sorry.

I'm coming back love.

- Listen. - Say.

Hi.

- Are you Italian? - Yes.

- What's your name? - Valentina. But everybody calls me Pippi.

What's up with you?

- And you? - Suicide.

He is organic, he has an adrenal dysfunction, he just faints. And you?

- I ran away from home.

I ran away at night. The police found me and took me to the police station.

What does the hospital have to do with it?

In the police station there was also that doctor, the one who brought me here.

- Who Antonello or Arturo? - Antonello wasn't there tonight.

Yes he was. Tonino? Was Antonello there?

- Tonino! Was Antonello there? - No Gino.

What was Arturo doing in the police station? - They stole his car.

Car? Doesn't he always ride a moped?

His friend's car, blonde friend.

Pippi, she has a great imagination.

- She�ll talk shit about us, that�s all. - Call me a liar, I understand.

I wanted to... sorry, I wanted to give you...

just in case... someone needed something.

No, I don't need anything. Leave ten thousand liras for the little girl.

I wish I could give her the money! She doesn't want it.

- Never? - Absolutely never.

- Never since she was born? - No.

- Oh there it is!

He's leaving. Arturo!

- Who was the blonde? Who was she? - What blonde?

Was it that one?

The one who stole his car!

A friend! A friend of mine... blonde.

Michelone put her to bed. Go!

[ The Diotallevi case has been very important for the life of the ward.]

[The fourth inpatient neuropsychiatry. Children�s hospital Umberto l of Rome].

[Valentina, called "Pippi", was admitted in October 1991.]

[I had recently been appointed director of the ward by the head physician].

[after 2 or 3 colleagues had fled to]

[places academically...more relevant].

Dinner? Not tonight. No I can't mom.

I have to accompany a friend of mine to the police station because her car was stolen....

[We were very busy,]

[in part because we faced all the requests of the local health units, minor and bad].

[Since word had began to spread that]

[we also accepted serious and emergency cases.]

Hannibal.

- Hello? Hannibal! - Hey! I'm here.

- Hi. - How are we doing?

We are doing well, very well.

- So what? - So all priests have to play soccer,

I don't like soccer! I sweat, I stink, I'm playing a game of checkers....

This is Giuseppe.

- Hi, Arturo. - Hi.

- Hi, who's winning? - I'm losing.

It happens.

Look, those guys are waiting for you. What time will you pick them up tomorrow?

I think -- after church, around 9 o'clock, I'll pick them up.

- I wanted to tell you something, about Michelone. - No...

Yes, I assure you that I did everything I could.

Believe me, it's not possible. He's already 19 years old, they won't let me take him.

- Do you tell him? - Yes yes, I'll tell him.

- Good evening Lina. - Good evening, can you send us some more?

- 2. - Menano?

- No. - Good thing.

Ah, by the way Lina...

- What's the best shampoo? - "Arrogance".

- "Arrogance". Bye! - Bye!

Thanks and see you tomorrow!

"Arrogance". Mah... what a time Joseph... "Arrogance".

- Let me go, you disgusting... - You have to do the ECGs.

- Let go of me! - Did Turati say that?

And if not who, me?

- About 20 drops Of valium if you shake.

- What's her name? - Maria Rosaria Bocci.

Maria Rosaria, honey, you're hurting up there.

- Are you the new volunteer? - Yes.

One hand is enough to contain her, with the other you caress her.

Hi, I am Paola. What long nails! Tomorrow we'll cut them, eh?!

Listen to the girl in 3

you don't have to do the electroencephalogram by force.

maybe I can convince her. Can I overlook that?

You wouldn't be able to convince her.

Very well.

- Good morning. - Good morning. Good morning.

Michelone, hi.

Hi.

Listen.

- Everything ok? - Yes yes, everything is fine.

- Then she cooperated. - How are we doing?

Here we go. Look what I brought you.

Shampoo!

- It�s a torment, eh! Come here with the face of a monk

- And he starts to tell you, why you think that, and why you do this, and why you dress like that...

- Come on, it's too much! - Eh I know.

One night he saw me with a girl and at seven in the morning he calls me at home

- To tell me, what's her name, what job he does...

Arturo has arrived.

- Arturo who? - Alan Cutrie.

Ah but I know him! Sorry.

And Anna Paola?

- Do you know her? - Don't you remember her in Gagliole?

- We met years ago on vacation. - No.

Have you read the new issue of ''New Topics''?

Yes, I bought it but I don't...

Read his poem, it is very beautiful.

I'm not cool enough For this party.

You must be tired, and you're about to get mean.

- Anna Paola used to tell me the same thing. - Does she know how to make you good again?

I used to get too tired and I became too bad.

I thought you knew, it's been two years since we've been together.

- What job do you do that is so exhausting? - Child neuropsychiatrist at the polyclinic.

- Then you can be super mean to me. - Really?

- Let's go. - These potatoes suck.

- Your wife is on the phone, have a listen.

But I don't have any new topics, so I'm going to bed.

Permission.

Eh! I forgot...

- Remember to call me when you get out. - Yes.

Pippi?

Diotallevi has been discharged.

Diotallevi the little girl in 3.

Her parents came tonight and took her away.

- I have the paper here. - No.

- Have you been drinking? - Yes.

I took the valium.

All right, in here for a short while, stretch a little bit.

I could almost sleep here.

But...you couldn't.

So, so tomorrow I'm already on the ward, no?!

- I'll call you before I take off. - Thank you.

Well after...some tough kids... I'll give you some too!

Fantozzi...

- Diotallevi. - Epilepsy.

And Diotallevi!

- She is discharged. - The paper is not in the folder.

I forgot to put it in, sorry.

How come you slept here?

Experimenting.

- Doctor. Sorry, I wasn't expecting you... - Sorry!

- Do you want this? - Yes yes thank you.

Pippi to psychotherapy... she doesn't believe in it anymore.

Actually, neither do I.

Yeah, but... she doesn�t believe it anymore. I mean, she�s already done it?

- Eh! - With who?

First by the USL psychologist,. then by...

What's his name ... A. Reichian.

Which I later found out was the lover

of the USL psychologist who recommended him to us.

That's for the cream. And then she was married, I mean that doesn't seem serious.

I'm always peeling potatoes.

All kids are crazy for french fries.

Pippi doesn't. Just boiled.

- And what else does she eat? - Nothing. Potatoes, and milk.

- Bread is already too complicated for her. - Apples, yes.

- Tomatoes -- eggs only raw. - And how do you know that?

I don't know...Never eaten.. ice cream, baked pasta....

And... what does this mean to me?

Pippi! Pippi come on love, open up a moment!

Pippi I'm the doctor from Via dei Sabelli, I brought you a present.

Pippi? Pippi open up!

Damn...

Just pitching a fit.

Hi!

What are you doing here?

- Do you have a gift? - Yes.

I really liked Linus Waiting for the Great Pumpkin when he was your age.

So when I went on vacation with my parents by the lake,

there was a field of watermelons nearby and I would sit there.

hoping to be ''sincere enough'' for the Great Watermelon.

- But he didn�t appear to you either. - Not yet

- Okay. - Okay what?

Okay for what came.

Ok 3 times a week, in my ward room?

- And who is it?

And who are you, huh? Who are you?

- What's your name? - Asshole.

- Asshole? Why? - Because he's an asshole!

- Lucia Wednesday at 5. - Okay.

- Why doesn't it open? - Because I was busy!

- What is it? What is it? - Don't fight, huh?

I should be on vacation! I've have vacation accumulated for 2 years.

- Come. No no. - Goodbye, love.

Don't worry, we'll be in touch. Sorry, she is very tired.

If only I knew!

You are the Great Kuka.

- Me? - You live in the mud.

- In what sense? - I saw it! The hospital and the sick.

That?

Don't you like buying clothes?

No.

The Great Kuka feeds on mud, then with a special apparatus of bristles

it filters its food. Sucks. Sucks.

Suck?!

- I suck? - The sorrows of others.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

But... the Great Kuka has a beautiful claws

All colored... to attract the females.

- What do you know about it? - I saw it on Quark.

- No, about females. - It's not like I'm three years old!

Do you like... anyone?

- Me? - Why not?

- Because I can't - Why can't you?

But do you know what epilepsy is?

- I have the key! - Give me the key!

- Come on let's go! - Wait! I'm coming too!!

Ah my arm, it hurts. Let go!

- Aida, what are you doing? She is not hospitalized. - 7, 8 kids have escaped.

- Michelone should not have left. - Then go and get him back!

- My responsibilities end here. - Ah with this story of responsibilities!

Do you know whose fault it is? The Ministry, that there are 3 of us instead of 9!

- But how many of us are there? - Let's go!

- Wait for me aho! - You too?

- Eh, what do you want?!

- Look at this! - Oh!

- A giant zucchini, cut it out! - You're running him over!

- Where are we going? - Boh!

- This way? - What's going on?

- Where are you going? - No idea!

We were going.

Come with me, go.

So. 30,000.

- What is right is right. - Are you guys from the neuro around here?

- Yeah. - Let's make it 20 then.

Watch out! Watch out.

- The identity of the adult. - Why?

I have been notified of the escape, I have to report it.

No look there is a misunderstanding, they had my... permission.

He is responsible if something happened outside.

He who wants to appear lenient, must suffer. Everything has a price.

Is that so?

Then from now on, the adults can go out without permission. Is that ok?

- All right. - Sorry.

Oh!

I still have 7 minutes left.

So what were you telling me?

Tell me one more thing then.

Six and a half.

Six.

You should tell me the context of the onset of this little girl's seizures,

For a diagnosis.

Seizures can be spontaneous or alcohol-induced,

- or self-induced. - Also in pediatric epilepsy?

Yes. If a complication occurs psychiatric yes.

They can be provoked by coercive thoughts.

By intermittent light.

Also from the screen of the TV when the programs end,

can cause this sudden discharge of neurons that is the crisis.

Give me a hand here, yes!

Can you do it?

Sorry eh... but what do you have to do with this other house?

The headquarters of our association. We have to collaborate more.

You and me? I don't have a penny!

How come you haven't had other children?

It was her who didn't want more children.

12 hours of labor and then finally the Caesarean. I have seen the "Sorci Verdi".

"Sorci Verdi"... my sister had a birth like yours and she has 3 children.

When she was born she was a tiny, little girl. Black hair. She didn't look anything like me.

I used to walk her. And she didn�t look like my daughter.

Well, of course, she takes after her father. And then you know, females paternalize.

- Did you know each other for a long time? - No, not very long, just a few months.

Before that I had been with my cousin for 6 years. We were engaged when we were kids.

- And did you leave him for Marcello? - No.

No, he left me for a woman who went to university with him.

A flat one... He was ashamed of me.

Big deal, now he earns 1.8 million at Rai.

What does that mean? He has a rewarding job. Money is not everything.

You tell me that you never have enough!

You just do the work you know how to do.

Because what job is it?

Look if you take out your cousin here too, I won't come here anymore.

Don't worry, let her talk.

That's enough for today, thank you.

- But will it be therapeutically sound? - Well, let's hope so.

Yes. When I was 5 years old I said this cousin was dead. I don't know why.

Mom came home and I told her that Aunt Mirella had come.

and that Lorenzo had gone on the Tuscolana road.

Mom ran outside screaming like crazy.

Why did you say this thing to your mother?

I don't know.

Every once in a while it seems to me that things as they are, are bad.

So I give them a little push To make them a little bit better.

And you feel like if this uncle of yours had died. things would be a little better?

I didn't say that. You always understand what you want.

- Is it time yet? - They're waiting.

That's why the analysis has always seemed like bullshit to me.

Stay a little bit here, we'll talk later. Do you want to?

Giacomo is back, his parents are here.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

And they broke their lines. They couldn't take it anymore.

The mother moved the kitchen into the hallway,

Giacomo had put a line in front of the gas.

Let's try to hospitalize him a few days and see what happens.

- The staff says he can't be admitted. - Why Fiorella, what's the problem?

None! Let's admit him.

James.

Where are the lines?

From point 3 on the x-axis to point 4 of the y ordinate.

Then can I sit on the bed?

Then ...

I tell my mother "who went that way? She says ''nobody''.

I go over there and find all the lines broken.

Your sister had to go live with grandparents, who had her high school graduation this year.

- Don't you mind? - Yes.

Very.

But they're hypocrites.

If you could remember... Who he was and what we did together!

And instead... nothing.

Mists.

Good smoke!

I bought it in Ostia.

- Arturo!

- No! - No. I have to go to the window.

Michelone called me and I have to go there.

Explain to me how I do it.

- What's up? - Can I have the keys of the moped?

- Because - I'm taking Pippi home.

- Take it easy! - Take it easy.

- Pippi! What are you doing? - I'm helping you!

When I�m with Arturo, I feel that what�s out comes in,

and what�s inside, comes out. No the opposite..

What�s inside, but, a little bit of the side, comes out..

- And what from below.... - Breathe hard, breathe!

What did you do? Huh? Oh!

And who is this? Ah, beautiful!

What a mansion you have!

Pippi! But, why are you so late? Where have you been?

- Mom listen... - What is it?

I smoked a joint today. I threw up.

Love... you don't need to make up these things, mom loves you anyway.

I love you anyway!

It's the truth.

[I'm back.]

[How do you feel?]

[I don't know. It feels good to me].

Look who's here! Pippi!

- Stop, stop!

[I'm glad to be in the ward.]

The number

4,456,941 . Please leave a message.

What's he doing at home? You wanna come to the ward? There's a mess happening here!

There, everything is closed.

I'm sorry I'm looking at 3 wards.

I came down, I noticed... Please don't intervene.

Arturo don't come! I have left 2 healthy lines, I don't let them break.

Arturo don't come!

Who broke them?

They jumped on it Michelone and Pippi.

Ah Michelone... And Pippi.

Just a little jump...

- But... - Don't you know Giacomo yet?

Take it easy. You're right.

Aida looks at me... where do they sleep?! They're sleeping in the hallway tonight.

- Do we have enough cots? - Cots!!!

No no what cots, go figure. Maybe my colleague has a better idea, please.

Look, no doctor who is a serious professional,

will be calling this ward when he�s on watch. Is that okay?

No problem. As long as Giacomo is here, I'll do the nights,

and now you can go back to your ward,

but professionally, so much more serious. Go!

I don't know, it's not possible to go on like this.

Do I have to make my own beds or you're gonna help?

- We help, we help... - Let's help, let's help.

Go help, go!

Little bitch! Huh?

And by the hands love, by the hands I'll take you

And without saying words in my heart I will take you

- Sorry. Hi. - Hi.

And I won't be afraid If I'm not as beautiful as you say

But we will fly together in the flesh, never to return!

Arturo, excuse me, I have to talk to you for a moment about Lucia. Sit down.

We will resume in a moment.

Oh, good morning, welcome back!

And without hunger and without thirst

And without wings and without a net we will fly away.

Excuse me... who is that singing?

- She's a friend of my daughter's. - An inpatient...

No, she's the daughter of the psychiatrist downstairs.

- Hi! - Hi!

And she often visits her father...and has been visiting my daughter for a few weeks now.

- I'm the father. I'm the psychiatrist... - Oh what a pleasure!

I have been asking Pippi For a long time to meet with you.

- Oh yeah, and what did she tell you? - That his legs were broken.

- Broken legs?

Ah...it's better now.

- But you knew she was coming here? - Sure. Yes yes.

- Did she talk to you about Marinella? - Yes she sings, yes yes.

- And without saying any words... - Pippi!

Well? Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?

[Her name is Marinella... Papa.]

[What she wanted from me I was ready to give it to her.]

[But what was she looking for in that sick little girl?]

[And what could they offer each other? I decided to put them closer together,]

[and observe.]

Look it's you who doesn't understand.

We had this meeting in here because

there's too many extraordinary cases.

And you take the opportunity to tell us that there's another one who's not self-sufficient?

But who listens to you?!

But doesn't this little girl have a bed in neurology?

- Of course she does. - So why do we have to take her?

- I have been her neurologist since she was born.

A birth injury from oxygen deficiency.

She was a beautiful, healthy baby girl destined for a normal life.

And now for the first time she has a chance to have a relationship.

I know we're asking a lot of you.

We are not asking for more hours.

- But more motivation. - Eh the Minister cuts while we have to motivate.

But it's also an attempt for therapy for Diotallevi from our ward.

She is my patient and I want to follow her!

This little patient is beginning to understand that in the world...

Aren't you Diotallevi? What's so important about you?

I am a very complicated case. There's only 2 in America and 1 in Africa.

- In Africa? - In Uganda.

You know better than me that in this country there are no facilities for cases like this.

What I should being doing elsewhere, I'm forced to do in the ward.

And I need your help.

I know. I know how much is in your paycheck, but I don't do that.

Otherwise it would be different.

What a great trip!

- So are you happy? - Eh, love.

Slowly guys.

- Thanks eh! - You're welcome.

The room is less bright though it's better... Gobbi, then bring her things...

- Then... - We give them a little rest.

And with hands love By the hands, Pippi, I will take you

And without saying words In my heart I will carry you.

And I will not be afraid If I'm not as beautiful as you say

But we will fly Into the sky in the flesh

we will never return!

And without hunger and without thirst

And without wings and without a net we will fly away.

- Poropom - Yes ''poropom''!

See you later.

Holy shit... now it's increased.

- Marinella seems a bit sad. - How did you know?

He used to look at my legs, now he's not interested in them anymore.

I put on the miniskirt, I move them... I even did a little dance.

But he doesn't look at them anymore.

What does this mean according to you?

- Why isn't the mother there? - I told her not to come.

When one is sick, he doesn't want things to change.

- Me too when I get them. - What, what do you get?

Like what! Why am I here? You seem to forget that I'm sick.

And it's an evil that sucks. It sucks To everyone, even mama and papa.

If I was stumped or lame, you know how many times it was better?

Here I am. I have it mandatory at school.

You think you know me. But I'm not me when I'm here.

You will tell me what we have to do for Marinella.

Because.

you hear extra things.

Aida! Why don't you sit down? Let's see the game.

- Take it! I got them for you, too.

- Thank you. - Would you like some beer?

- No stay, stay comfortable. I'll get it.

- Give me the keys. - Thank you.

- Hi. - Hi. Can I stay here?

- Yeah. - Then I'll go tell my folks down in the car.

Bye mom, see you tomorrow after school.

Tonino, what are you doing? You're not going out today, you're going out on Wednesday.

Go to sleep, go. Up.

They went to dinner downtown. I told them That I'm going to school tomorrow from here, okay?

Okay.

- Have you had dinner?

What beautiful shoes! Are they your mother's?

I bought them in Via del Babbuino.

I want to give you a dress that fits us well. Will you accept it?

Yes. Let's go there on Saturday.

- Let's go on the 27th. - On the phone.

Yes.

Let's go on Saturday! Now it's your ass.

It's your mother.

But after all the time you've known her still believe what she says?

Of course I got a kick out of it. From the window!

No I'm alone. Marcello is at work.

- At this hour, so what! - I'm Pippi.

I came to sleep here.

Arturo don't let your mother come,

because he thinks that being with me will make you better.

Does it make you better?

They ordered you a Swedish bust.

You'll see that you'll be able sit up better.

So I can take you walking with the wheelchair.

I can push you on my skates! I'm a dragon at skating.

I have the American single wheel skates, the ones that tilt on turns.

You know.

Yeah, whatever...

I sleep in the bed next to yours.

Good night.

But if you get me in trouble with your parents, we all get in trouble unnecessarily.

How did I know she was waking up? I put 2 depachin in her wine at dinner!

- Are you crazy? - Yes.

No, you're crazy!

- Let's sleep now, it's late. - Come here, there's room.

Why aren't you married?

Because my wife left me.

- Can't you find another one? - When?

How old are you?

Too old.

Sleep.

Here she was as beautiful as she is now but 15 years younger.

Thank you. You are nice...

But as an excuse I... Actually I wanted to say that...

Hi Arturo!

- Hi. - When do we have to come back?

Of course the family has a very disturbing dynamic.

They are only together because of their daughter's illness. That's not much incentive to get well, is it!

Look. Since she was 3 months old, in every trace there is no alteration.

- How come? - It happens.

But why isn't there a deep sleep track?

- He may not have wanted to do it. - I would do it right now. It's very indicative.

- - I'll go.

- No no. - The number 4 million answers...

- When is the next family therapy? - Tuesday.

- I wanted to know if you have read New Topics.8

- Do you remember me? - Sorry!

We met at Cecilia's party.

- Hi. Tonight? - Here's the sex! It blinds him.

[My dear, last month I had a little girl, I named her Albertina,]

[after Lucio's mother.]

[I wanted to tell you before the news got to you from strangers.]

[Or not at all.]

[I give you a big hug. Anna Paola].

Don't worry, it doesn't matter!

I'm sorry, but it doesn't matter. Bye!

Opl�! Jump this way, hey.

- Why this way? - Because the other side is closed, I don't know...

Check this out. I had to brush up on it...

- the whole Cartesian system. - But is it for Giacomo?

- Yep. - It's beautiful!

Good thing.

- She looks a lot better, you know? - Than what?

Tell you what, can you girls get any?

Arturo, excuse me eh...

do you think I became a priest not to become homosexual? Come on!

But this is a religious shelter, I'm not in charge!

They don't let me take them! In short... Excuse me!

However if I understand correctly,that little girl, you want to remove from her family....

That would be best, yes. Temporarily!

The problem is always the same, is that I have nowhere to put her.

Yes, but then you ... as soon as you can, go away with her!

- Amen!

- Holy Buddha! - They've all become Buddhists. All of them!

Weren't you supposed to see your poetess tonight?

Anna Paola had a baby girl.

Ah that's what it was, eh!

The first year I worked at the ward, I went crazy.

- The kids made me sick. - Heh!

Figures, me too, sometimes I can't see a child without getting sick...

I just get so nauseous.

But then I ask the Lord for forgiveness, and the Lord forgives me. He understands

- Anna Paola has not forgiven me. - What did you do to her?

I made her have an abortion.

- So... all right, I'll forgive you. - Vale?

Vale vale! It does not count, because it doesn't count. Of course...

Also because I think you've atoned enough.

No, life is short!

At the beginning you think you have so many possibilities. Then at the end...

you realize that you've gambled it away With the one asshole face you made.

Have you figured out who it is?

What a beautiful ear you have!

Ar... tou... ro.

Ar tu ro.

Listen I am very grateful to you for the things you have done for Marinella.

She's always been considered an incurable case.

Nobody has ever wasted much time on it.

Do you realize -- they are cared for, yes, but do you realize that

- Marinella doesn't move her head anymore? - Could it be inflammation of a nerve...?

I'll talk to the physiotherapist And have her put on an orthopedic pillow.

Are you sure about what you're doing doctor?

My daughter's whole life was made of very little.

She was made of me.

I'll ask the question again.

Marinella doesn't move her head anymore, are you sure an orthopedic pillow will solve her problem?

She knows my name!

Now love, look at Dr. Gianni.

Look at him being funny. Look at that, look at that.

Make an effort honey, make a big effort, look at Dr. Gianni.

[Are you sure about what you're doing doctor?]

Well, now the dogs too? Go, go!

Ah, Diotallevi's track of deep sleep,

it's in the room of the electroencephalogram.

- Ah because now the tracings are done with the animals. - He has Arturo's permission.

He gives them all a win.

- She's 13! - Look.

at 13 years old I was already doing my first service with a lady, do you understand?

Out! Out! Out, shoo! Out!!!

- Get out! - Aida! Eh calm down!

In half an hour we're done.

In the regulation there are no animals.

There is also none that the structured medical staff...

spend the night on the ward. Is that okay?

This dog needs to go.

No. She will be the one to leave at the next staff rogatory. Okay?

It peed! It pissed!

Come here, be good, come on.

Is she crazy?

I have accumulated vacation time. I...

I... I have accumulated vacations.

Asshole! Asshole!

- Arturo! Look who's down there! - Good. Quiet...

Skinned Sylvester the Cat.

Rabbit disguised as a butterfly.

Menstruation.

Paradise.

No evidence of encephalopathy of epileptic type.

An electroencephalogram can only be indicative, though....

it is difficult for 11 hours of tracing to be so clean.

- Don't you want to know what I think? - No. I already know what you think.

But I don't believe That he does it on purpose.

But have you ever seen her when she has a crisis? It's scary to see her!

Then if she does it on purpose it means she's crazy. And I don't want to believe she's crazy.

But I'm not saying that she does it on purpose, that she simulates.

She couldn't have started faking it at three months.

I say, however, that on simple febrile convulsions, she may have built her way of being in the world.

And even though the convulsions might have disappeared, she maintained them.

She doesn't know, and they come back

whenever it seems to her that she has no other way to solve a problem.

- Do you think so? - I believe so.

And I called you to tell you that this state is dangerous, it is the antechamber of psychosis.

We call them borderline patients.

How are things between you and Marcello?

What does it matter, how many marriages are worse, but the children are not epileptic.

If there are problems it is better to face them.

It's not that there are problems.... it's that I have the wrong life.

When you are wrong Things go wrong, even children.

Cinzia... you have to understand one thing: Your daughter... has come out very well.

- [Listen... I have something to tell you.] - [No, don't tell me.]

[But maybe it's very important!] [Do you want to tell me what Marcello does for a living?]

[How did you find out?] [Pippi gets my money,]

[because she knows how I earned it.]

[At the end of the winter, in 6 months of therapy,]

[we had made considerable progress.]

[The painful departure of Aida and the collaboration between wards,]

[allowed me a different way of working.]

[I was trying... to help Pippi to not feel sick anymore, but somehow well].

Guido, give him a scanogram in saggittal.

Love I am here. Now you have to stay still.

- Arturo! - What is it?

- Come with me! - I'm on watch tonight.

Then I'm too old. Go!

Don't be afraid, go!

Aho! Good, you came!

Massimino! Massimino... Pippi, my friend from the neuro.

Mama how cute you are.

Thank you.

Arturo!

You are, however, overdoing it with the times. I received a circular.

You insisted that I go!

You can't sleep here with Marinella tonight.

I'll drive you home now.

What's wrong with you?

Come on, let's go.

Maybe it's better this way.

After the holy scripture, I also want to read you the passage of a novel.

From ''The Idiot'' by Dostoevsky.

And as he walked through the streets

And saw in every face The signs of useless toil,

or looked up at the roofs of the houses, up, to the sky, to see if there was any meaning

he seemed to find it And he was relieved.

But only to one question, That ran over him in regular waves with breathlessness

Prince Miskin could not answer.

''Why Sir, do children die?

''Lord why.

Lord Why.

- Christ why. - Christ why.

- Lord why. - Christ why.

Pippi!

Pippi!

Are you out of your mind? Honey, why are you mad at me, huh?

You were the only one who didn't understand what was going on.

What?

I shouldn't have trusted you.

You know what? Go fuck yourselves, all of you.

No one will ever know if she's dead because we got it all wrong.

I only know that she had a cerebral hemorrhage.

An aneurysm ruptured....

Maybe it was congenital. It happens with these patients.

What could we do?

What did we need to know?

And is that enough for you?

I don't know.

I can't ask myself certain questions.

You can. And for that you will pull yourself up.

I'm leaving.

Where.

Private clinic. Double the money and half the hours.

I can't take it anymore.

Oh fuck.

A little bit of an intimate gift. A little something I thought of for the career.

- Open open open.

Swallow it like a good girl, swallow it, swallow it!!!

- Snack.

You are not like those psychiatrists who forget their birthdays.

No, I didn't forget it.

Go ahead, I got it.

Arturo it's Cinzia! Arturo are you at home?

Listen, listen, call us right away or come over!

You know what I'm going to do? I'll call you at the ward. Arturo I absolutely need to talk to you.

Pippi is sick.

- Get out of the way. - What's the matter, where are you going like that?

And now I'll show you I'll show you where I'm going.

Listen... you don't want to.... want to fuck my daughter?

No, I don't think so.

Because it doesn't seem to me that you're being that much of a psychiatrist.

Not all psychiatrists act the same way.

Our daughter doesn't talk to us anymore.

She didn't even tell us that she had been at a funeral, if I had known I wouldn't have sent her there.

- And you would have done wrong. - Why?

Because you can't do too much behind children's backs.

What do you mean?

Look -- I don't care, I really don't care,

I'm trying to help your daughter.

I'm not a 50-minute guy on the couch, I'm not a sedative kind of guy either.

I don't even know what kind of therapist I am.

Also thanks to your daughter, I am slowly figuring it out.

Thank you.

I found this in the trash

No more drugs. We can now rule out a neurological type epilepsy.

I gave you all some good news.

From all the other problems I hope we will cure you.

- Will you accompany me Cinzia? - No. It's better that you go alone.

Go.

There's something I've been wanting to ask you for a long time.

Are you like this just for me, or are you like this for everyone?

You are something I've been looking for for a long time.

I was already looking for it when I was your age.

When... I used to go and sit like a fool in the watermelon gardens.

Then in college, then when I chose my major.

I was looking for her with Anna Paola, with friends...

But especially in work.

to have... how to say, at least a reason to get up in the morning.

- Michelone! - Eh, what is it?

I was thinking if you sign up to the next nursing course, what do you think?

- Why? - Since we can't discharge you

- we'll hire you. - Eh now I'm thinking about it. I'll think about it.

- Slowly!

- Look at that!

- Hi. - Hi sweetie!

- Hi! - How are you?

- Good, and you? - Good.

- Pippi, my mother and my father. - Pleasure.

You're welcome. So Daniele, Giuseppe, Hannibal you know...

- Giovanna. Giovanna. - Maria Rosaria.

- I really didn't see this one coming. - What?

That you were rich too!

- Well? - So what? You never show up!

All right, work work work. I brought you some friends.

Who is it?

Did you find the wadding?

I made a pallocco with toilet paper.

It's here.

[Now Valentina Diotallevi, called Pippi, attends the art school.]

[After the separation of her parents she was entrusted to her mother.]

[We continue psychotherapy once a week.]

[She has not had any more epileptic manifestations.]

[Since September I started following personally Daniele Epifani.]

[For the moment we have made a tiny step forward.]
