There, there...

Don't move now.

Goodbye, Father, thank you.

- Best wishes! - I'm coming!

Estou indo

Back inside!

Goodbye!

Goodbye, Father!

One moment, please.

Pobrezinha, precisa comer..

Dad, listen...

What is it, Carlo?

Read this.

I received it this morning.

Two hours ago.

I thought it was finished between you two, no?

For 3 years, I had no news.

Poor girl. I'm sorry.

Help me, find an excuse... I have to leave right away.

Are you crazy? Now?

The sanatorium is near Milan, almost 200 km from here.

You want to cause a scandal?

She's dying.

She wants to see me.

And I also want to see her.

She was hungry, my dear!

Come up, if you want to see her.

Mas cad� o Carlo

- We can go too? - Sure, go ahead.

Where is Carlo?

You saw him?

He had to go to the plant.

A customs inspection. I hope he'll get it done soon.

A problem?

No, but it could last. Don't talk about it.

Of course!

Rita...

My God, let her live.

N�o deixe ela morrer

I loved her so much.

It's as if nothing had changed

since the day I met her.

May I?

The chair.

You're welcome.

May I?

Go ahead.

Gianpa'!

What are you doing in Milan?

I've been here since three days, for work.

They sent you to learn, and you're having fun!

But no! I did not know where to go, like a stray dog.

como um c�o errante

Here is a closed circle.

- And you, what are you doing in Milan? - I'm done with the provinces.

I've been working at Salci since 3 years.

- You know them? - And you?

No. Who are they?

The engineer Donati, steel.

His wife?

This one? Her name is Rita. Everybody knows her in Milan.

They have been together for 3 months. He get her from count Lochi.

She is supported!

You bet she is! Her jewels are worth 10 million!

Come, I introduce you.

The poor guy, he said: "What will they think of me?"

"O que pensa de mim?

"That I am penniless, ruined!"

And he had just offered an Alfa to Gina...

Stop!

Carletto bought a necklace for Dolly, and he, nothing!

Alas, she kept nothing.

Some even believed that his business was bad!

que seus neg�cios iam mal

He's not the delegate for Texoil in Italy?

Yes he is, he gets one lira per liter.

After long months, she said: "Me, I have a small account."

He grabs the closed envelope containing her book...

Ele o mantinha fechado...

And he finds...

6 millions!

- Gianpaolo! - Here is engineer Rivelli.

Delighted.

I saw a cute little black hat in your window.

Um chap�u ador�vel, todo preto

Give it to your wife. Hats fit her so well.

What is it?

- You are naughty! - Show me.

And your friend who is so quiet?

He is the son of an manufacturer from Biella.

- What industry? - Wool.

- A small plant. - I understood, a loser.

Go ahead, let go...

Shall we dance?

A dance?

- What does that mean, 'panoply'? - Pardon?

Renato bought a 'panoply'.

He says that it's a silver bread basket.

He is always making fun of me, the idiot.

- You also make fun of me? - No!

I made you smile, at least. You had such a face!

I was not expecting it, that's all.

It's a question from a little girl. I liked it.

I am a nice girl. You, you're frowning.

I was expecting charming words.

Why? We shall never meet again.

Why? You would see me again?

- What's your name? - Carlo.

Carlo! What an ugly name!

I like it.

- And you are...? - Engineer.

I only meet engineers!

You have a car?

Almost... a Giardinetta.

It's cute, a Giardinetta!

Why don't you buy a Fiat 1900?

- Are you engaged? - Yes.

Getting married?

Lucky...

Why say that? If you wanted...

Now I'll get a sermon?

Go, quick!

Rita, we're going to Mimmo!

- You come with us? - Certainly.

Thank you.

You're coming?

No, go ahead. Have fun.

But above all... do not leave your heart!

And beware of the owner!

Go, quick!

- Where are we going? - Mimmo.

- Who is he? - An existentialist architect.

Another black trumpet!

Engineer Donati isn't here?

Not seen. He is smarter than me.

Take a look. What a bore, this evening!

Cheers!

Now, champagne.

I won 40 points with Ansaldo stocks!

It irritates me! Guido told me not to sell them!

He is always right, that one.

- One moment, it's almost ready! - He will play much longer?

If you do not like...

Shall we play like the other night?

No, I always have to take my clothes off!

- Play with Zoe. - With Zoe?

It was the wrong address, there is a concert here!

What a beautiful Black!

- And the others? - The man of Biella!

Wou wait for Rita? She went with Mr. Donati... Yes, finally...

Para, enfim...

Do you understand?

Enough! Less art and more life!

I'll take care of the Black!

Hello?

She is sleeping, she's ill.

Thank you.

Al�?.

She's not up yet, goodbye.

At the same address, isn't it?

Unsigned, as usual?

- There. - Thanks. Shall we deliver now?

- Yes, as soon as possible. - Goodbye.

She left.

What do you mean? When?

This morning.

Where?

Sestrieres.

Coffee, engineer.

When will she return?

I do not know, sir.

I have searched for her in vain.

I thought I had forgotten her.

The work at the plant, back to family, my fianc�e...

4 months went this way.

In fact, I had seen her only once, four months earlier.

Then, suddenly...

What are you doing!

Quick... whatch your hands!

, cuidado com as m�os!

Hello!

Remember? At the Flora... the panoply!

I know, it's been almost four months.

I remember perfectly. You wanted to lecture me.

Where are you going?

- Back home. - I may go with you.

Thank you.

- Is it your car? - Yes, I know...

It's a driving offence. Your license.

All right.

What have you done?

Nothing, I was driving on the other side, and, when I saw you...

Get in, I'm coming.

How much?

A thousand liras. Go fast, you cannot park here.

Goodbye.

I was unable to find you.

What have you done?

I don't know, a lot of things...

I left, came back...

Excuse me, but I don't want to talk about it.

But where are you going?

Via XX Settembre.

I don't live over there anymore.

Now I live in Via Monte Rosa.

- Thank you. - Too bad we've already arrived...

- I offer you a drink? - Certainly.

I should have invited you.

Li�! Stellina! Come say hello!

Venham me dar oi

Hello... My little darlings...

Queridas da mam�e..

They are beautiful!

My treasures...

Maria!

My little darlings.

Maria, take the dogs.

Beautiful! Someone called?

Yes, Mr. Cesati.

Take that.

Put them into water.

What a fool! Shall we have a drink?

What do you want?

At that time, I drink cognac.

I've got some Napoleon, excellent. Without the Customs seal.

Sit down.

Is it true that they now treat for pleurisy?

Now, yes.

It's not me, but my sister.

Lately, she's not feeling well.

but she drives herself too hard.

These are simple people, my family.

My mother has just asked me for money.

She believes I'm a clerk.

Do you like my house?

This one is by a French painter, I forgot his name.

N�o me lembro o seu nome

It cost a million francs. They say it's me.

Do I look like that?

Actually...

Now I remember this evening.

You were a little sad, but quite nice.

Why have you gone?

I called... two, four times.

You were always out, or suffering.

Then you left...

I even sent...

No signature, but I thought you understood.

It was you, then, the bouquets of violets!

What a treasure!

Tell me something nice.

You want to see the rest of the house?

Bored!

I put music on?

I don't know what's happening to me.

When I see you... The first time I saw you, and tonight...

e agora depois de tanto tempo

I understand, you want to spend the night with me.

It happens even to lovers, but this is not the same thing.

Did you ever fall in love?

If you enjoy that, talking like that...

You are a handsome man, friendly.

I could allow me such little whim...

but if you are serious, you'd better leave.

I'm serious.

You have one million per month to throw out of the window?

You are right.

You made it very clear.

What a child!

Poor dear, he is angry!

- See you tonight? - Tonight?

We have dinner together.

No, tonight I cannot.

So tomorrow. It's Sunday, let's go out.

I do not know, I may go to the lakes.

Bye, honey. Let me sleep now.

Call me in a few days.

I call him right away.

Rivelli, phone!

Hello?

Hello!

Hello, my love.

Why did you leave so quick this morning?

- What do you mean? - What are you doing?

I am in the office... I work.

I really want to see you. See you at the Rigoli at 1pm.

Wait... Hello?

Hello, miss. I'm on it.

I was unable to call you. I'll see you tonight.

And now?

No, you see! Tonight I'll have dinner with you.

Thought of the night...

Light from a candle is better than darkness.

Ladies and gentlemen, good night.

Rai, Italian Radio, national program.

End of the broadcast.

Hello?

Where are you?

Yes, right away.

- What happened? - Nothing, nothing.

What happened?

I feel so bad...

Take...

Take me!

Let her sleep.

If she moves, call me.

I will come immediately give her a sedative.

This is an occasional sign.

No symptoms of a chronic form.

What is it?

She's a beautiful woman, She had fun.

But she has to change hobby. Do not mess with cocaine.

You know how it ends.

Hallucinations, obsessive troubles...

Thank you... Excuse me.

For nothing, it's our business. Good night.

Don't worry.

I say nothing, eh?

Remember? As I said at the beginning:

"No women!" Unless it's serious.

Don't worry. Good night.

Good night.

Okay.

Yes, thank you.

We will get it back.

Your bag is still there.

Thank you, I'll send for it.

Bring me back home, if you can.

Okay.

Do not call me, it's better for both of us.

I'm not for you, and I cannot change for you.

A man offered me a house, a car...

He gives me everything I want.

Not the one you saw, another one.

This is a serious matter, important.

Do not look at me like that. I did not make any promise.

Love is a luxury I cannot afford.

I don't know what get into me, tonight.

I left everything.

I left and I called you.

This is ridiculous! After a night spent together!

Let's go...

Monsieur, fait bouger,

Rien va plus.

Who's this guy?

They don't leave each other anymore. They came to St. Vincent.

Rita does not behave well.

Mr. Cesati does not deserve to be ridiculed like that.

No, it's a platonic love. He has no money.

Rita knows what she's doing.

And the old man is in Naples.

He's just came back, no?

Never forget where you come from, you.

You're spoiled, aren't you? Do not laugh behind our backs!

Mr. Cesati is an important man. Industries, banks, he controls all.

With a simple gesture! How much?

- 720000. - Banco!

Let's go, it's late.

Wait, we've less than 2 hours drive.

No, tomorrow I have to leave early.

My sister is sick.

And if I came with you?

Where, to my mother?

I'll be away for two days. You cannot leave the office.

I don't want to introduce you to my family.

I put on the 17 and we leave. Go change the chips, in the meantime.

Place the last 3 horses.

17 and horses.

I still have a lot to do.

Good night, honey.

Do not worry, your sister will recover.

She's not in danger.

It breaks my heart too. Two days is a long wait.

Yes, it's long.

I wait the day after tomorrow at 6pm, the same place.

See you then.

It was a wonderful evening. Good evening, dear.

- Where are you going? - To the movies, maybe.

At 10:30? It's too late.

He's right, it's late.

It was very elegant. A cloche hat with a lapel.

Three whiskeys!

Charming. Did you see it too?

Excuse me.

We can go to Rodrigo.

Good idea! I am willing to come with you.

You have free time tonight!

Good evening. A whiskey.

Good evening.

- Call on me tomorrow. - Why?

For a chat.

You know my shop?

She is beautiful, you know. Just one thing.

Forget Rita. She's not for you.

You had a good time, but now he's back.

Let her in peace.

You're ruining her life.

Rita will not always be young, you know?

Hello?

Rita

Hello? Rita!

Anna

Take on the other line, thank you. I'm not in Milan.

Al�

Who do you want?

She's not in Milan.

Carlo, your whiskey.

What's up with him?

Take my hat back and come get me.

Well, madame.

I ran. I cannot stay.

I thought I'd better see you to tell it.

I don't know when we can meet again.

Do not call me, I will.

The servants were replaced.

I don't trust new ones. I don't know them.

I suffer too. I saw you every day.

Let's be careful, at least at start.

After that, everything will be fine. Leave it to me...

Engineer, may I?

Come in.

Wait, miss!

I told you, the engineer is leaving!

Thank you, it doesn't matter.

Forgive me, I was wrong.

- You're leaving? - Yes.

I know. You've never hidden anything.

I should have understood, the other night and kept silent.

You did not promise anything.

You gave me everything you could.

I cannot...

Maybe I forgot everything.

Maybe... I was so happy I thought I could endure everything.

But I cannot.

When I heard that you had lied, that you were with another man...

I'm leaving. Don't worry, it will pass.

So you really love me?

It's the only reason why you left?

Please, don't lie to me.

I came to stay with you.

I left.

That's true.

The sanatorium?

This way, sir.

- Is it far away? - Half an hour.

Thank you.

She really loved me or was it just a whim?

I asked myself so many questions.

I could not offer her anything from her before life.

Every day, when going back home, I was afraid not to find her.

But she seemed so happy.

I'm sure she was happy, at that time.

She seemed to discover the world, she had fun as a child.

She was changing every day

as if she had forgotten everything for me

as I had forgotten everything for her.

Every single detail was a pleasure.

We only had to be together.

I am sure she loved me. It was not a whim.

She loved me as a bride.

But after? After?

Maybe I was too demanding.

What came next was too much for her.

How are you?

You talked to my lawyer?

He waits for you at 11pm

I leave at 7am.

We cannot have lunch together, I have a business meal.

I want to tell you...

Luisa's father came to see me.

- Why did you write to him? - To tell the truth.

You don't want to marry her anymore?

I cannot lie. I loved her before, but now...

What about? You could have fun! I have nothing against that.

She slept with all Milan!

Please!

I know all about it.

She is not interested, you are poor. But when she get tired?

You cannot believe me, I know, but it is very serious.

She left everything for me.

You should never have agreed.

You have nothing to offer.

I am willing to pay for her departure.

By the end of the month you must leave your job.

Come home work with me.

Please, don't put me over a barrel.

I cannot. I will not come!

Do whatever you want.

You will not have a penny!

Be sure that I will not give in.

The stakes are too high.

You will not jeopardize your future for a woman like that!

Tram, 30 liras.

Vegetables, meat... 1000 liras.

Cigarettes, 360 liras.

Flowers, 3900 liras.

Wonderful! We went out for a dinner.

You're already there?

I finished earlier today.

Where were you?

I went shopping.

It was not Ms. Zoe with you?

She went to see me.

What is it she wanted?

He sent her.

He wants me back with him.

I didn't want to worry you.

He may say whatever he wants it's over.

And that? It's not him?

You had to send them back. Why keep them?

You knew I would not want that you keep them!

Why did you do that?

I won't give them back! I only have these ones left!

It's him, yes. What do you think?

The others, they take them back! They always do that!

They are no gifts.

They make us wear them to show that they have means!

And when they are fed up, they get them back!

But I'm used to that game!

What do I have left? What have I turned into?

Destitute, penniless!

I won't return them, I keep them!

Excuse me, Rita. I should not have talked to you like that.

That's because I love you.

Do as you wish.

Return them.

Make them disappear from my sight!

Do as you like.

A telegram for you.

It's from my father. He'll arrive tomorrow.

I showed the car to the garage owner.

He'll give us 300,000 for it. I did not expect that much.

Didn't you say 350,000?

Who is she?

Nothing. A girl I know well.

Giulia. She had a career!

"When Pizarro reached the city,

"a beautiful sight opened to his eyes.

"Houses, streets, temples... all glittering with gold."

It really happened or is it invented?

It really happened.

But gold brought misery to Indians.

todo aquele ouro

You'll understand.

"King Montezuma went to meet the Spaniards."

- Would you rather go out? - Continue.

Let's go to the movies.

Continue.

I don't want to see my father tomorrow.

I didn't think I'd become such a burden for you.

Now you're happy to be with me, I know that.

Otherwise, I'd already be gone.

Sometimes you wake up at night, and things appear clearer.

For several nights I wake up.

I see clearly that you're tight by too many things.

Important things.

We're not suitable for staying together.

Your father is right.

He will have the last word.

I cannot go back to my previous life.

As long as you won't get tired, we'll stay together.

Where your father is waiting for you?

At his lawyer's.

His lawyer?

You have to go.

The company is very strong, I brought the balance sheets.

That's fine.

I want to speak to the director.

Claro

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello, Dad. - Hi.

What's the matter?

The bank withdrew the line of credit for no reason.

E n�o sabemos o porque

We're talking of 120 millions!

If we don't find a solution before tomorrow, we're out of business.

Cancel my appointments and inform M. Casorati that we arrive.

It's better not arriving unexpectedly.

It cannot be that we are the only ones.

It's probably a general measure, don't you think?

We'll find out.

- Mr Carli, would you... - Right away.

Sorry, is there a phone?

- Please. - Thanks.

Is that you, Rita?

It's about our company.

Eu te explicarei

I'm at the bank with my father. They will receive us.

It's pretty serious. I don't think I'll be there for lunch.

It will take the day, perhaps.

Would you come in?

I must leave now.

I'll call you back, dear.

I spoke to him yesterday...

Ah, here comes our Romeo!

If you had arrived earlier, you would have heard about you!

Oh, nothing you cannot hear.

I am not afraid to talk openly.

Let Rita in peace and go!

She? When I took care of her, she was a tramp.

I made her!

Here's the result!

If I see you here again, watch out!

Go away!

I would love to see that! Really!

And you, let me know.

What a scatterbrain!

Why didn't you make her leave?

- What did she say? - Nothing.

It doesn't matter.

You found the money?

Rita, what's the matter?

Nothing...

This day... What you said on the phone...

You found the money?

Not... we tried everywhere. All offices, banks...

Not an easy thing to find 120 millions

when they know that your bank doesn't trust you anymore.

And if you don't find the money?

bankruptcy,

ruin for your family.

If there was a reason, at least. Nobody knows or understands!

Ningu�m entende nada

What happened, one day to another?

You're cold. What's wrong?

But do something!

We must find the money. You are well known, it's absurd!

What's wrong?

Do not panic. I'm not afraid of poverty.

Tomorrow I'm going with my father. We'll search back home.

Para n�s, ser� mais f�cil

You're leaving?

Tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning?

Tomorrow morning...

You might be able... It's still possible.

We have two days left.

In two days... My father won't give up.

It's the work of his entire life.

Your girlfriend loved you a lot?

Why?

I thought...

Tomorrow you will see her.

Is it true that she already wanted to marry you when she was 15?

She'd still want?

Yes, I told you.

And you loved her?

Yes... but before you, everything was different.

I did not know What true love really was.

You're hiding something. What happened?

Listen...

Will you marry me?

If my family is not ruined

and if don't become a tramp, will you marry me?

I don't understand this refusal.

I'll speak to Mr. Cesati...

- Goodbye. - Call me.

Mr. engineer...

My love.

I wanted to see you again.

Let me know if you find money.

Count on me.

I'll wait for you here tomorrow night.

Goodbye, Carlo!

Thank you! Thank you, Carlo!

Thank you, Carlo.

I remember her words.

And her last words shook my heart.

I wanted to get off the train and not to leave her.

I blamed myself so much for not doing so.

But would it have been helpful?

I don't think so.

She already had decided to leave.

Had I been honest with myself, I would have seen it.

She was overwhelmed by our potential bankruptcy.

Deprivation, anxieties of the last months...

But was it really the reason for her running away?

I wanted to believe it, I needed it.

I wanted an explanation.

Was Rita so attached to money?

I went back to Milan three days later.

I called the day before to say we had found the money.

I needed to see her again, the hold her against me,

to forget the entire world near her.

But she was not at the station.

Did she leave?

Yes, last night.

- Last night? - She must have left you a note.

Forgive me, my love.

I could not stay with you.

It must be I was not made for such a life.

I loved you as much as I could.

Forgive me and don't look out for me,

it would be useless.

Why did she do that?

If she had waited!

Only 12 hours!

The bank had suddenly reopened our line of credits.

We would have stayed together!

Miss Margherita Rinaldi.

See the secretariat. Please follow me.

You're welcome. You want?

Miss Margherita Rinaldi.

You are the engineer Carlo Rivelli?

Please follow me.

A gentleman wants to talk with you, He's waiting for you.

But I want to see Miss Rinaldi.

Unfortunately, miss...

Rita didn't want to leave you.

I made her do it.

She's left for Paris with me the day before your return.

I promised her to reopen your line of credit.

If you want to see her...

We were together when you met her.

You knew.

I was not in Milan.

When I returned I learned everything.

Nothing could stop me.

Neither my business nor my work.

But Rita did not love me.

She loved you.

Think of me whatever you want.

When Rita saw that it was the only way to avoid your ruin...

I didn't hold out much hope...

I knew she was in love with you,

she was forced to follow me.

I was willing to accept that, ready to accept everything...

to have her near me.

Excuse me.

Do you want a sit, miss?

When I realized, it was too late.

I stopped searching for her. I knew it was useless.

I don't know what she did for two years.

Alone, without resources, in a foreign country.

She never wanted to talk about it.

But when she returned to Milan, a few months ago...

We try this one?

N�o, n�o..

No, it won't suit.

You have a sharp nose, a wide shape is not appropriate.

This one will suit you fine.

It's not my style.

There are others. May I?

- Hello. - Hello.

- When did you arrive? - Yesterday.

- Where were you? - In Genoa.

Where shall I put that?

Here.

Wait for me next door.

Look, it's charming.

It's a novelty.

No, not like that.

You must wear it a little more on the front.

Me permita.

Look how it fits you.

Yes, I like it. It suits me.

- Send it to my place. - Thank you, madam.

See you soon.

This year, velvet is not selling.

But these small models are quite popular

- Where do you live? - I rented a room.

You should go home.

My family is already struggling to survive.

You had a nice position!

I wake up sometimes at night,

I look back in anger.

With him, you were fixed up for life.

He has never had a regular except you.

Either before or after!

What an idiot you are! I won't forgive you.

I'm looking for a job, whatever.

To eat and be quiet.

Currently, there is none. I can't tell you.

First, you should straighten you a bit.

Leave me your address.

I'll come back.

Yes, come again.

Take that.

Thank you, not for now.

Whatever. Go, now I have to do.

Do you have news of Carlo?

You don't know?

He got married. Great result!

When?

I knew it a year ago.

He did well.

Not a difficult work, if possible. I could not stand.

eu n�o aguentaria

Goodbye.

- Who is it? - I do not know, but it's urgent.

I'm listening.

She returned here three months ago. She went by sometimes.

Then, I haven't seen her for a while.

Yesterday she called me.

She's sick. She had to be hospitalized.

I understand.

Go to my office. Today, after 7pm. Goodbye.

No, coffee. I'm in a hurry.

You're going to Naples tomorrow?

Yes, tomorrow night.

Dad, you have to meet with the board of directors!

You'll represent me.

And the opening night of Othello?

I'll go with Diana. At 8pm, the shirtmaker arrives.

- You don't have anything suitable to wear. - Okay. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Mom, tonight I go out for dinner, do not wait for me.

She sleeps.

Don't wake her up.

Good evening, Rita.

I've been told only today, you know?

Come on, Rita! The worst is over.

I took a room in a sanatorium in the mountains.

It is a beautiful villa.

We'll take you there tomorrow. And, in 15 days, you will be up!

- Good evening. - How is she?

She had a seizure today.

The doctor wants to talk to you before you leave.

Thank you. They're beautiful!

I was afraid you won't come.

I wanted to tell you...

Today I was very sick.

I watched the sunset

and I thought I could never see the sun again.

Rita, do not bother and try not be discouraged unnecessarily.

But I have to talk to you. You're not always here and I...

Carlo

I cannot stand him not knowing.

I cannot,

it's not fair!

Call him, make him come here.

I send him a telegram immediately. Calm down.

Excuse me.

You were always good, you're my only friend.

I cause you grief.

But I know nothing, I don't understand anything anymore.

I thought I had done well by leaving...

to go with you.

I thought he would never have forgiven me the ruin of his family.

I did not believe that he would have married me.

Now...

I will send him a telegram!

If I die before it happens...

He forgot me, he got married.

He needs to know I did not betray him.

He loved me.

He really loved me.

He'd never have blamed me for anything. Never.

Mas por nada

He'd really have married me.

Today, I'd be his wife, in his house.

It's my fault.

I did not believe him. I did not trust him.

Promise me you will tell him the truth if I die.

Swear!

I'm the one who sent you the telegram.

Rita passed away last night.

She was here for a month.

I missed her.

That's enough now.

Neither one of us will forgive the other for this death.

Go with him.
