No...

Visitors.

- Do you have a lighter?
- I've quit.

- Go ahead, read it.
- Come on, mum...

- Come on.
- I feel ashamed...

You're supposed to feel ashamed.

If it wasn't for this man, you know
what would have happened to you?

- Come on, read it and feel ashamed.
- Come on.

Come on.

"Many days have passed
since you saved my life."

"Since that day,
I have been thinking of you in every way."

"Every piece of bread I have eaten,
every glass of water I have drank,"

"every dream I have dreamed
has been for you."

"Thank you for the courage
you have shown me."

"Every day and every minute
I pray that you wake up."

Continue.

"In the meantime,
I treasure everything in life."

"I'm learning that life
is having and giving everything."

"I have received a lot
and must learn to give a bit more."

"Come on, wake up, don't give up,
you can make it."

Beautiful, bravo!

Did you write it? Why don't you record it?
We can play it for him every now and then.

Well, that...

- Do you think it may help him?
- They say it can stimulate.

- Record it.
- We surely will. Thank you.

I also appreciated it.

- See? She liked it. Come on, say goodbye.
- But you don't have to do it.

- Bye.
- Stand straight.

FEELING BETTER

- Well, let's hope it will.
- Of course.

- Thank you. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Hold on. My God, can't you wait for me?

Hello, good morning.

- What's up?
- MRI scan.

Diagnostics, how despotic.

Leave me alone, it's ridiculous!

It's totally unnecessary.

She turned me into a conceited person.

Me! I translated Proust for myself
without even being asked to do so.

- Why?
- Because I don't need a dry shampoo!

No, I mean why did you translate it,
if no one asked you to do it?

Those are things you do when you're young.

It was her childhood dream.

Here we go.

Despite the state I'm in,
I'm not dead yet.

And I don't want people to take
advantage of me, I don't like it at all.

She's practicing.

It's easy to do it on someone
who can't tell you how to wash it,

which shade of dye to use,

with which cut you want to give
your life a breakthrough, too easy.

Is this what you tell your hairdresser?

I never went to the hairdressers.
I always cut my hair by myself.

No, no. Look who came to visit you.

- My sister is just what I needed.
- Good morning. What are you doing?

Beauty treatments today.

How nice, very pleasing.

- How are you?
- The usual good mood.

You're being groomed a lot, aren't you?

Yeah, right. Oppression, not grooming.

- Ma'am, did you also spend your youth
translating... - Could you please go?

- I wanted to know if it's...
- Get out!

- Alright.
- Go!

I'm leaving.

Are you retouching her dye? Nice.

You need to tell me
if you're coming on the trip.

- How many times do I have to tell you?
- Once is enough.

- Well then, I already told you.
- Tell me officially.

- I'm not coming, it's official.
- May I know why?

- No.
- You have to tell me.

An official no
needs an official justification.

Alright, because it's a day trip,
I don't like them.

I might eventually come
on a week trip or a weekend trip.

- That seems more like an alibi.
- No, it's a motive.

- Find a better one.
- There's no better motive.

- No, no, no, no!
- Come on!

Why do we have to go this way?

I don't like this game!

Why do you enjoy this stuff?

I can't.

I'll never get used to it.

Don't forget your arms.

Don't forget your arms.

Balance is everything.

Balance is everything.

Everything is balance.

Everything is balance.
It's one and the same.

Come on, give everything and get ready.

Come on, guys, we can do it, come on.

Over here, line up.

Focus.

Ready?

Don't look at the circle!

The circle isn't our objective!

It's not our objective. Come on! Go!

We know it's there,
but we don't look at it. Come on!

We're not doing the high jump,
but the long jump.

Come on. Run, push it!

Bravo.

So...

Catch your breath,
go back and do it again.

- How are you?
- I think I'm fine.

Okay, come on.

- Okay.
- Try to go faster, alright?

Hey, did anyone just see me pass by here?

No, huh?

Did you see me pass by?

Hey!

Come here.

Come.

- This can't be...
- It sure is.

It is, if they need a room.

Why my room?
Why not the kid's room or your room?

Aren't you happy to change sometimes?

- No, I'm not.
- You should be.

We can spend
some time together and have fun.

I haven't shared a room
since I got out of the ICU.

- Anyway, aren't you curious?
- Curious? About what?

Don't you want to know
why they cleared a room?

No, I want to know why they cleared mine!

What's all this racket?

Nothing, they put him in my room,
he took it as an eviction.

What's this drama all about?

It's not a drama. This is my room.

It's not your room.

- Then whose is it?
- Whoever is ill.

Well, I'm ill.

We're all ill.

But it's my room...

It has a history, I'm fond of it.

You can't get fond of it.

Everyone leaves their room,
sooner or later.

Alright...

Let's get curious.

Let's see...

I need to be curious? Alright.

I'll wait here.

- What is it?
- I'm going to bed.

- Good for you. Good night.
- Good night.

Here...

Good night.

Are you looking for someone?

No, no...

Then what are you looking at?

It's just this used to be my room, so...

Now it's mine.

- Just asking...
- Does the room belong to you?

- Pardon?
- Does the room belong to you?

- No.
- Then mind your own business, excuse me.

I'm not minding your business.

No? You're poking your nose.
What do you want?

What do you want?
Excuse me. How insolent.

They're all the same. I can't believe it,
there are even voyeurs here.

- You just got here and you already...
- They play dumb and keep an eye out.

- A bit of respect.
- Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

You're not ashamed outside,
let alone in here.

Anyway, if you behave,
it's not that bad after all here.

Just a piece of advice,
if you relax, it can be nice in here.

You don't even make yourselves sick.

Sick? Sick for what?

No, you don't make yourselves sick.

"Yourselves" who? Who?

Or should I say sad?
Don't you feel sad for yourselves?

This room doesn't deserve people like you.

It has a history,
nice things happened in here too.

You don't deserve it.

Don't worry, I'm leaving soon.
You can have your favourite room back.

Look at this guy...

It's like living in a bubble.

You can never get used to it.

It has nothing to do with pain, it's...

It's inexplicable.

I can't take it anymore, you understand?

I mean...

I can't imagine not living
with anyone for the rest of my life.

The next one will be one that I've found.

And if I don't find him,
I've made up my mind...

I'll get one at the dog shelter.

Because you don't buy dogs.

Either you find them
or get them at the dog's shelter.

Right?

I know you agree with me.

That's why we love each other.

Because we'll get a dog
at the dog's shelter.

Okay...

- You came back late last night.
- Hey...

You don't need to tell me
when you go to bed and wait up for me.

- Don't overdo it, please, okay?
- Living together has a price, my friend.

She's beautiful, huh?

I tried to introduce myself to her
this morning, but it wasn't easy.

She's quite reserved
and seemed a bit confused.

- Well, she's not the first nor the last.
- Did you manage to talk to her?

No. Me? No, no.

You want me to give her a welcome too?
As if being evicted wasn't enough.

She must have spoken to someone,

because she said: "Are you a voyeur too
or do you have other kinks?"

I'm going to put down the dog.

I'd rather not to do it,
but I'm doing it for my wife.

- She said she wants to get another one.
- I don't blame her.

Wait...

Go.

Are you stupid? You hurt me, you idiot!

- I'm sorry.
- The hell you are.

It was strong, you wouldn't have made it.

Made what? What the hell do you want?

- Hey, what do you want?
- Me?

- Yes, you. What do you want?
- Me?

- Yes, what do you want?
- You grabbed me, you even hurt me.

I said I'm sorry.
I'll just let you go next time, alright?

Go where?

I don't know. What do I know?

When someone's about to die,

a storm arrives
and it sweeps people like us away.

- Us who? Maybe people like you.
- No, you too, you're like me in here.

This morning, a guy dressed in yellow
wanted to talk to you.

He gives others information
on how things work here.

Talk to him. He'll tell you everything.

You guys are nuts here.

And I'm not like you.

Where are they taking me?

To the operating room.

It's no use waiting down there.

There's nothing you can do
but wait, anyway.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

No more sleeping...

No sleeping.

- No sleeping.
- You know everyone?

Everyone who?

Everyone here.

Well, we always greet each other.

But a lot of new people always arrive.

- Like me.
- Exactly.

I'm sorry about the room,
but I didn't book it.

No, it's not your fault.
In fact, I'm sorry I...

I mean
I didn't choose it from a catalogue.

It was so comfortable at the ICU.

Really?

Well, actually
the level's much higher here.

So high
that if the surgery has a bad outcome,

you might even get your room back tonight.

I wish.

But you're here now.

Enjoy it as long as you can.
It's a great room, you know?

Don't misjudge it, it's full of...

- That wind today was nice.
- What?

That wind today was nice.

It was as if he were asking me
to go away with him.

Who?

The guy in the ambulance.

He didn't want to depart on his own.

No one wants to depart alone.

Apparently,
you'll enjoy the room one more day.

Thank you for tonight.

Don't mention it.

Listen, you may not have noticed,
but the window has a broken corner.

That small bit,
at the bottom right-hand side.

Some air passes through it.

You can tell it's going to rain
the night before.

It's this room's privilege, so to say.

When the weather changes,
you're the first one to know.

At least I'll know what to wear.

- Good night.
- Good night.

I was about to pass away.

What?

I was about to pass away.

What do you mean?

I was about to fly away.

I was scared.

- Where?
- At the vet's, with the dog.

- With the dog?
- There was a sudden gust of wind.

- Didn't you hold on to something?
- Of course I did.

But I didn't think
it would be that strong.

I couldn't hold out against it.

I didn't want to hold out against it.

No one wants to depart alone...

What?

Nothing. Nothing.

Let's get some sleep.
Too much wind today.

Good night.

I said good night.

Yeah...

I would like two glider wings

To fly farther and farther away

And a shack near the river

Where I clean my feathers in peace

A big bed

The kind that aren't used anymore

A broken record player

That works when I'm feeling down

I don't want the moon

I just want to stay and stand

Stand aside dreaming
without thinking about you anymore

I don't want the moon

All I want is a moment.

- Hi. How are you?
- Hi, fine.

Who is that guy?

A volunteer of an association.

What association?
It's only him, there's no association.

He comes here sometimes doing a kind
of "musical therapy". It works sometimes.

Yeah, sure. Look at the results.

Isn't there a way to shut him up?

Sudden death. You die and he leaves.

He's joking.

Anyway, I can introduce you to him,
if you want. He can talk to those like us.

I know it sounds crazy,
but he can see and hear us.

- How can he?
- Well, it's a...

It's a curse actually.

For him, for us, in particular for me.

He's a special guy.

I don't want the moon.

He's very sensitive.

Anyway, they're organizing a trip...

She's less reserved now,
but always a little sad.

- What?
- She's always a little sad.

I heard you.

- Bye, thanks!
- Bye.

When are you coming back?

I'll check my schedule and figure it out.

I don't believe
you don't have your own songs.

Everyone has them.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

I never said I don't have any.

Then why don't you play them for us?

- See you next time.
- Bye.

If I may give you some advice,
you could add a rhythm section.

- A drum perhaps.
- We'll see.

We'll see. He'll play something
sooner or later, won't he?

I'm sorry you don't like my arrangements.

Oh, don't bother.

They're not his arrangements,
they're his keyboards' arrangements.

Did you see the new girl?

I was singing, I didn't have the chance
to introduce myself.

- How is she?
- They operated her immediately.

I mean, my room is gone...

See you.

What did you say?

- Thanks for everything. Bye.
- Bye, thank you.

Yes, yes, now...

How do you know she just got operated?

Didn't I tell you? I thought I did.

Well, anyway, she's fine, nothing...
She's still there.

Jumping isn't enough.

Jumping is just like shooting an arrow.
You need to draw the bow first.

That's what you need to focus on,
on what happens before.

You overcome a hurdle
when you decide to tackle it.

The reason you do it
takes you a step ahead.

This is always the matter.

The only matter.

- Do you understand?
- Nice concept.

I learned a lot today.
Thanks, coach.

Come on, guys! Go!

Let's jump, come on. You jump.

Quick! Let's go!

Here he goes, as usual...

There's nothing I can do about it.

I can't stand watching
a 100-year-long work going down the drain.

Hundred years.

This stand has history.

- My grandfather started it in 1924.
- 1924?

- Yeah.
- Wow.

I can't let it go.

Well, that'd be time. Let it go.

- Go?
- Yes.

- Do you know for how long I've been here?
- And what about me? Come on.

Cheer up. Cheer up.

Yeah, sure.

Who is he?

Another lonely one.

It's beautiful.

When my time comes,
I want the same atmosphere.

Come up with something.

Act like ghosts, invent a sabotage.

I want to spend
at least one night by myself.

Like that guy.

Lucky him.

- You've been here all day?
- Yes, safely sheltered.

I'm a bit more careful
after what happened yesterday.

Any news?

- Alright, I'm going to my room.
- I'll be right there.

Why?

I'll be right there.
Give me five minutes.

Why? I'm going to our room,
you can do what you want.

Alright, two minutes.
I'll join you soon.

- Aren't you coming?
- Where?

- On the trip.
- Oh, no. No.

Oh, come on, it will be a blast.

Good, go get blasted.

- Sturiale.
- Here I am!

Are you sure it's you
and not your cousin, like last time?

No, it's me!

Do you have the flyer?

- Yes!
- Yes!

Alright, perfect.

Look who's here.

Bravo.

Roberto, take this, please.

It's time.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we're on time like a Swiss clock.

- Let's have a round of applause.
- It was about time!

- Hi.
- Oh, hi.

Do you know where we're going?

No... No.

Hopefully far away.

Men, move forward!

Come on!

Yeah, they're fighting...

That's beautiful.

Go!

Go, advance!

Like this!

Come on!

They don't even pretend to die.

Who are these people?

I don't know.

This trip has been organized
by the hospital's former employees.

This isn't exactly what I expected.

In my day, when I got there,
this was unconceivable.

So what did you do?

We just waited.

Without having too many crazy ideas.

Was it better?

It's never better.
You just make do, that's it.

Go, go, go.

Mum? No, the reception is bad.

Keep the formation!

I've been sleeping well since I got here.
Especially in my room.

- It's not your room.
- It's not yours either.

- Do you sleep well in the hostel?
- Not at all.

Oh, really? You can sleep in my room
every now and then, if you want.

Thanks.

- That's very kind of you.
- Well, I am a kind person.

Well... good night, then.

This is wonderful news!

Isn't it wonderful she went back?

You might get a room by yourself.

It's useless.

We all leave our rooms sooner or later.

It's a miracle, doctor.

Why are you all so sad?

Because when you go back,
it's as if nothing had happened.

She won't remember a thing.

Hey, stop!

Wait for me.

- What's wrong? What happened?
- What's wrong?

Why don't you go
celebrate with the others?

- Why the hell are you so nervous?
- I've never been a nervous person, ever.

But you are now.

Yes, I am. Very nervous, yes.

- And how is it?
- What?

Being nervous for the first time.

It's just... I don't know,
it's the first time. What do you want?

You're not nervous.
You're just very sad.

What do you know?

What do you know?

All I know is that everyone
was happy last night, except you two.

You were both sad and you still are.

You seemed to be at a funeral
and not celebrating a wonderful happening.

I'm not sad.

You should be happy
when such an event takes place.

Envious and happy,
because you might be the next one.

What have I got to do with it?

We can't stay here forever.

- Exactly, eventually we die.
- Or you go back home, like she did.

Why not be happy if someone makes it?

Because it's like dying,
it's the same thing.

- That's not true.
- Yes, it is. - No.

If you forget everything,
it's the same thing.

- It's the same thing.
- Oh, so that's your point.

Alright, she won't remember a thing,
but that's not a tragedy, is it?

Besides, what do you need
to remember?

You.

What?

I don't want to forget you. I can't.

I want to stay here with you.

I don't want to die,
I don't want to go up.

I want to stay here.

- No, I'm sorry...
- No, no...

Is it yours?

It's nothing compared to this one.

When I have time...

I come here and study it.

I need to understand...

what I did, how it happened.

So far, I managed to reconstruct
the damage caused to the flank.

I'm trying to work through.

I'm working through, like grief.

What about you?

Your situation doesn't seem too tragic.

It's just a little bump.

One sharp blow, but...

it's a minor one.

Yet we seem to be in the same conditions.

That's insane.

I made her cry.

I got everything wrong,
everything that could have gone wrong.

Because I talk, I talk too much.
Why do I talk so much?

I don't understand
these things, I never did.

I don't understand.

I can't understand what's going on,
I can't understand anything.

Oh, man, what a mess...

Thank goodness
you can't hear what I'm saying.

Thank goodness,
you'd be taking the piss out of me.

Now I need to make things right.

I need to explain that... I'll tell her...

What shall I explain?
What shall I tell her?

Look who's here.

What can I do?

Do you remember Serena?

I was doing just fine.
We were doing just fine, weren't we?

Say hello.

What a mess, my goodness.
Enough of this mess! You said it.

You want to talk to her?
Then go and talk to her.

You don't want to talk?
Then don't, that's it.

Stop talking. Stop.

Let's call dad, tell him how she is.

I wanted to tell you that spending
some time together was great.

But I wanted to tell you in private
and with no background music or balloons.

If something comes up your mind someday...

If you remember anything...

come find me,
I might still be in this condition.

I might break all records.

Even yours.

Why doesn't anyone tell
why and how they ended up here?

Do you want a coffee?

Sometimes they do.

I'm not asking,
I'm just trying to find out why.

Of course.

A 10-year-old boy fell from the 2nd floor
and landed on me.

Besides, people can just invent
anything they want.

I'm not inventing anything,
that's why I'm here.

- I can't believe it.
- No one believes it.

Everyone thinks
I was standing there to save him.

Of course, no one would believe
you were simply passing by.

I know.

I had a car accident.

A great classic.

Yes. Yours is much more original,
that's for sure.

I had a clear view in front of me.

No one distracted me.

No one crossed the street,
not a dog, cat or bird.

- A pigeon? Nothing?
- No, nothing.

I wonder how often nothing happened
in the same conditions.

This time, instead...

Easy things...

are the most dangerous ones,
because you think you know them.

I'm going to bed.

See you tomorrow?

Yes.

I think I fell in love.

Me too, I think.

How's that possible?

I don't know.

What am I supposed to do now?

What shall I do?

They're taking him away.

He's moving out. Do you know where?

I didn't quite get it.
To a special place for people like me.

What do you mean?

Hopeless cases.

- We're all hopeless cases.
- Exactly.

- I'm much worse.
- That's not true.

No, maybe it is true, maybe he's right.

Here he is.

- Bye, guys.
- Bye.

It's been a pleasure.

This isn't a goodbye,
it's a farewell, forever.

- We have to go.
- Where?

- To a certain place, it's important.
- I'd like to relax today.

It's important to me, really.

Alright. Let's go.

What is it?

Wait a minute.

I think I underestimated things a bit.

No...

I haven't been here in a long time,
I'm a bit nervous.

Can you tell me what is it?

I wanted you to meet my father.

Without commitment, though.

I just wanted you to meet him.

I don't know why.

I don't know.

He's not aware of anything anymore.

He's been fading away
for almost ten years.

I never came back here
since I ended up in hospital.

He's fading away, I'm fading away.

That's fine, I suppose.

It's useless.

Completely useless.

What?

Hey...

Are you alright?

Why didn't I just stay in bed
at the hospital?

Why did you bring me here?

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have to, I know.

I'm sorry.

They came to my room
and they were happy.

They were talking about progress.

I'm recovering.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

How can I just leave you here?

I used to stay here without you.

- But you weren't doing fine.
- Yes, I was.

Then you came along.

- I'm sorry.
- No, don't be.

Excuse me, do you have a minute?

No, sorry, I'm working.

You remember me?

I mean, you probably see a lot of us
and think we're all the same, I get it.

I remember all of you.
Every single one.

Listen...

It has only just begun.
I don't think I have much time left.

Listen, I don't know what you want,
but I can't help you.

No, that's not what I'm asking.
I wanted to ask you something.

I'm not sure you can do it,
but I'll ask you anyway.

Alright, since you remember everyone,
perhaps you remember her too.

At least I hope so,
because she didn't stay long.

She went back up...

I don't know where she is,
I don't know how she is and...

I'd like someone to tell her
that we met, that's it.

The first thing
we did was argue, but then...

I don't know,
something incredible happened.

I don't know what it is,
but it's beautiful,

the most beautiful thing
that happened to me since I've been here.

Now I'm about to pass away.
Oh, well, that's life.

But I want her to know
that we had something.

- She has to know it, just this.
- That's not how it works.

What do you mean?

That's not how it works, I'm sorry,
but I can't do anything about it.

No one can.

Let's go, come on.

Are you there?
Are you out there? We're in here.

- I want to say goodbye, my friend.
- Stay there, don't be foolish.

Don't worry, we're well equipped.

Just a second,
I can't let you go without saying goodbye.

Here you are.

- Do they keep hold of you?
- Yes, very tightly.

Then I'll leave you in good hands.

So, you're going
on this nice trip without me?

It's definitely not a day trip.

Send me a postcard,
if the place is nice.

I'm gonna miss you, my friend.

Not necessarily.

Not necessarily.

Have a safe journey.

Take care.

Hi.

- Hi. Pleased to meet you.
- The pleasure is mine.

Thank you for having accepted.

I don't even know why I'm here.

Neither do I.

Do you want to order something?

He's here.
A glass of wine for me.
