All language subtitles for Pietro.Germi.Il.Cammino.della.Speranza.1950

- Excuse me... excuse me.
- Sir accountant, sir accountant.

- I'll take care of it, don't worry.
- Stand back! Back!

- You've never descended into the
mine, sir? -No. -It's 400 meters deep..

Yes, but I've known
those men for many years.

- Make them come up, sir!
- Back! Stand back!

I've already told you everything
I could. Now it's his turn.

You've known him for
many years; you trust him.

He's the accountant and he
knows there's nothing to be done.

The mine's losing money:
they have to close it down.

If you persist in staying
here, you're crazy.

Come on, guys. Listen to him.

You know I've cared
for you like a father.

Luca, Rosa is up there too.

You know that you will
get married in three days.

Antonio, Lorenza is up there...

Guys, they're all
outside waiting for you.

For God's sake, guys! For God's
sake, you're going to die here.

They must not close
the sulfur mine down.

Closing it down means condemning us
and our families to die of hunger.

- We'd rather die here.
- Saro, set an example for the others.

The kids are waiting for you.What will
become of them if something bad happens?

This is useless. You've
been here for 48 hours...

Take him outside, sir.
He's not feeling well.

You well know that nobody can withstand
more than three days underground.

You have just a few hours left!

They're calling!

Sir, they're calling!

It's over, it's over!
We'll bring everybody back!

Stand back! Stand back!

Luca!

Make some room! Stand back!

- Come on, make some room!
- Luca! Luca...

Antonio!

Antonio...

Go the other way.

- Make some room!
- Stand back!

- Misciu! Misciu!
- Turi.

- Dad!
- Dad!

- Dad! -
Dad! - Dad!

Capitalism is like cancer!

You will get the mines back and you
will improve your working conditions!

The mines should belong to the miners!

You must occupy them...

Stand united with our syndicate
to improve your conditions...

Won't you go and listen to the speech?
- I don't understand anything.

I'll make the real speech.

No chatter and no big words.

You can't make flour out of chatter.

This is what you want to
hear: do you want a job?

You only have to answer: yes or no?

Bring something to drink for everybody,
outside and inside. They're on me.

You can't even imagine how life is
over there -it's a civilized way of life

You don't have to keep your women
at home. Women and kids can work.

Easy work, in "usines",
which means factories.

Packing candies, folding paper
boxes... Well-paid and easy jobs.

They need workers in France.

A family of 4 people,2 adults and 2
kids can easily make 3,500 francs a day

which means almost 5,000 Italian lire.

But how does one go to France?

I can take you. That's my job.

I took so many people there! And
all of them are well and happy.

At the border, they know
me better than in my town:

the police, the Italian border
police, the French "gendarmes"...

They call me "Monsieur Cicci�",
because they place the accent at the end

- What's your name?
- Me? Why?

- His name's Antonio.
- As soon as you get there, they'll call you Antoni�.

Don't worry about the mountains or
snow those stories don't scare anybody.

When you know the roads,
the mountain passes...

there's about as much danger when you're
walking through the streets of your town

- It's a great chance for everybody!
- Maybe... but how much is it?

20,000 each.

In advance.

I can stay only till Thursday,

because I've had another
proposition from Serra di Falco.

Think about it and make your decision.

It's in your interest.

You can find me here, or at
my Assunta's house. Goodbye.

Me, my wife, Rosa and the old bag:
80000. Selling my shirt wouldn't help!

- Would you take the women too?
- Who'll support the family if we leave?

- Even women and children work there.
- How much is bread in France?

- Is there good wine?
- If I leave, Lorenza comes with me.

I'd take Lorenza too. It's my
wife who I want to leave here!

I put Buda and Diodata to bed.

- If I leave, would you be happy to stay with Mrs. Concetta?
- No.

- And with Mrs. Lucia?
- No.

- If I stay,I've no idea how to feed you.
- I'm coming to France too.

- What about Buda and Diodata?
- They'll come too.

- But... do you know where France is?
- No.

- So, how much is bread in France?
- There are factories!

- And women too. We can go dancing at night.
- French women.

Listen! Listen!

I'm leaving.

I have three children to
feed, but it's not only that...

the children will grow up,and I don't
want them to live this miserable life.

I want them to be able to work.
They have nothing to do here.

I'll take them with me
- it'll be better than what we have now, anyway.

- God will help us.
- You spoke well.

"Hungry dogs fear no cane".

- In France,it can't be worse. I'm coming, too.
- Me too, goddamn it!

- I'm leaving too!
- We're going!

France!

- To France? When are we leaving?
- Right away.

Do we have to sell everything?

Even my trousseau [personal
outfit of a bride]?

So... we are not getting married?

- Saro Cammarata.
- Present.

Three places: the two kids count as one.

- Turi Sibaldi. - Present.
- Luca Mierille. - Here.

One place.

- Antonio Verderame. -
Present. - Two places.

- Frasica Mauro. -
Here. - One place.

- Misciu Sgano. - Two
places. - Two places.

- Carmelo Musco. Carmelo Musco!
- Here I am... excuse me.

- Sir accountant, you too?
- How come?

What else can I do? I have no
family, and none of you is staying.

I hope you don't mind,
even if I'm no miner.

But... think it over...

from this moment on, we are all outlaws.

Hold it. If you're thinking about
the money,there's no going back.

I haven't forced anyone.

Tomorrow morning at 4, the
bus leaves from the square.

Keep this in mind: I, and only
I, know what we have to do.

You must not ask anything, nor
decide anything by yourselves,

because you don't know the places,
nor the people, nor the route.

Go to sleep. See you at 4 in the square.

Good night.

Who is it?

Who's there?

What do you want?

Two places... for me too.

You've made up your mind only now?
The bus is full;you leave another time

No... I can't wait. I
want to leave tomorrow.

- What's your name?
- Barbara Spadaro.

- Who is the other place for?
- For...

My husband.

His name?

Speak up. I won't show
this notebook to any cop.

- So?
- Vanni... Vanni Barill�.

Husband, right?

I've told you a thousand times
not to come knocking at this hour,

unless a creature's body
or soul is in danger.

- Come back tomorrow.
- I'm leaving tomorrow.

Who are you? Let me see you.

- I'm Barbara Spadaro.
- Congratulations! You're leaving with him, right?

You've chosen a fine journey companion.
What are you looking for, my blessing?

No, I know I'm living in mortal sin.

But now that I'm leaving and not coming
back,I'd like to say goodbye to mother

I don't dare go back home.

I've tried once, and they
shut the door right in my face.

Tell my mother!

If they don't want me to go home,

tell her to come to the
Church, tomorrow morning at 4.

Just for a few moments...
then she won't see me again.

Tell her, Don Meo, for God's sake!

Another one! Get it!

- Take this, Luca. Put it over there!
- Hey!

Hey! Don Meo is asking you to come!

- Quick, Luca! Quick!
- Come on, let's hurry.

- Jump down, Luca.
- Quick, it's late.

- Come on, grandma. - Antonio,
quick. - Dad! Dad, let's go.

- The witnesses! -Misciu! - You
get married only once in your life

- Mommino, bring the guitar.
- Hurry!

Sir accountant! The text!

- Hey, the train won't wait for us, let's hurry.
- Excuse me... please.

Silence, this is no market!

- Why are you staring at the door? Want to leave?
- A witness is missing

I beg your pardon.

I'm here.

- Barbara!
- Vituzzo.

- Where's mom?
- Mom wanted to come, but dad locked her up.

I managed to get out through
the window in the stable.

Is it true that you're leaving,
Barbara? Where are you going?

Don Meo said you're going far away.

Goodbye, Vituzzo. Goodbye...

Tell mom that I've always loved her.

Go home, Vituzzo. Goodbye.

Luca Mierille,will you take
Rosa Sibaldi as your wife,

according to the rites
of the Holy Roman Church?

Yes.

Rosa Sibaldi,will you take
Luca Mierille as your husband,

according to the rites
of the Holy Roman Church?

- Yes.
- Join your right hands.

I join you in matrimony...

Haven't they finished yet?

And your husband?

Just a moment! Wait, just a moment!

Stop for a second! We
need a nice kiss! Stop!

- Kiss each other!A nice kiss!
- What are you doing,you silly girl?You're crying?

- You should cry at funerals.
- I cried at my wedding too.

- Give the flowers to the bride.
- Come on, show us what you're made of.

- What are you waiting for?Should I do it?
- Come on,kiss each other!

- Come on, do it. - Show us
what you're made of. -Come on!

Long live the bride and groom!
Long live the bride and groom!

So long, sulfur mine!

Are you leaving too, Barbara?

Yes.

Buda, throw it to mom.

The police!

She paid for my place.

- Who is he?
- He used to work at the sulfur mine.

- Hi, Barbara.
- Hi, Vanni.

We're leaving to go to work, Vanni.

This is my place
- we're together.

- I paid for two places.
- There are some empty seats over there.

Come.

Now what?

I don't know anything.

Let's go.

- Where are we? - I don't
know. Are you cold? - No.

This is our first night
as husband and wife.

I imagined it differently.

- What are you doing? What's your name?
- Cammarata Buda, 4 years old.

Go to sleep!

Vanni.

Stop there!

Where were you going?

I'll kill you, Judas!

I'll eat your heart!

Leaving from platform 7,

the direct train from
Reggio Calabria to Rome.

Move, quick!

Don't move.

- Give me my money back. -I don't have
it - You wanted to run away,didn't you?

- Give me the money back!
- I don't have it.

Look! Search if you want, but
I sent it home before leaving.

Look, for God's sake! Search
for it! There's nothing! Look!

You planned it well!

Tell me the truth. Are
you a real smuggler?

- I took many people across the border.
- So, why did you want to betray us?

Once, there were no controls.

But how can a caravan of women,
old people and children make it?

- But you took our money, didn't
you? - Vanni. - You shut up!

I don't give a damn about the others,

and I realize it's easier to
cross the border without them.

But I must go to France.

I won't say anything to the
others, they'd kill you for sure.

The sooner we leave them behind,the
better,but you must take me to France.

Me and the girl.

Otherwise... Remember, you won't
take a single step without me.

If it's 3 of us,we can do it.We have a
6 hour stop in Rome and we change trains

Vanni,don't!They're our fellow villagers
they've sold everything they had.

Do you want to go to France?This way
we'll make it.If they come too,we won't.

Don't say a word to the
others. Do you understand?

Lorenza! Come and see.

The train from Viterbo is
arriving on platform 12.

Come on, get going. Don't stay
there, like a herd of sheep.

Can we go outside the station?
We have 5 hours to wait.

I'd like to take them to the Altar of
Peace -Never mind the Altar. Let's go!

How would I find you in Rome?
Stay together. Come on, move.

- Antonio! Antonio!
- Stay beside me.

Keep going. Listen to me carefully.

If anything happened to me,if I had to
run away,go on with the others or alone,

and wait for me at the border.
They won't catch me, anyway.

Come on, hurry up.

- Antonio!
- Never mind Antonio, come with us.

Hello, beauty.

- You coming on a cruise with us?
- Hey, babe!

Get him! Get him! He's
armed! He's armed! He's armed!

- Stop!
- Vanni!

- Stop or I'll shoot!
- Vanni!

- Vanni!
- Barbara!

- Barbara!
- Stop, stand back!

Attention, police officers...

are required on platform 8.

- Antonio!
- Lorenza! Lorenza! Lorenza!

- Stand back! Back! - Come
on! - Lorenza! Lorenza! - Move!

Stop! Stop!

- Stand back! - Antonio!
- Get out of here! - Move.

- Antonio! Antonio!
- Where are you going? Stand back!

Lorenza! Lorenza! Lorenza!

Antonio! Antonio! Antonio!

Miss, you're leaving
your suitcases behind...

- Where did it happen?
- They arrested him at Stazione Termini.

- Half an hour ago -Nobody's been
brought here. -Where should we go?

The Viminale police station is in
charge for the railway:maybe he's there.

Hello? Tell me.

Yes, all right.

- He said he was arrested by carabinieri
- Arrested, or just stopped?

They put him on a truck.

Room 5, ground level.

- Verderame Antonio. Outside or inside the station?
- Outside.

- One hour ago? - Two hours
ago. - But who are you?

Hello? Did we stop a group of
Sicilians at the station one hour ago?

- No, two hours ago.
- What do you want? Who are you?

- I've got nothing to do with it, I just took her here.
- Go away, then!

They stopped them outside.The Termini
Police Dep. isn't responsible for them.

Right, it should be our responsibility.

Anyway, they're not here. Thank you.

They haven't been brought here, so
they must be at the Central Station.

- Where's the Central Police Station, please?
- What?

- The Central Police Station, please?
- It's not here, you have to go back.

Carmelo Musco, Mierille Luca...

They want to know where we're
headed. I haven't said anything.

We're going to Turin,
we don't know anything.

Come on, move.

- Sir accountant!
- Be quiet. Come forward.

Sit down. First and last name,
father's name, date and place of birth.

- Sit down!
- Musco Carmelo, accountant. Son of...

Accountant!

Son of Torquato. Clean record.

- Carmelo. Where do you come from?
- Capodarso,province of Caltanissetta,Sicily

- Headed to...
- Headed to...

- Headed to... - Actually...
well... - Where were you going?

- We were going to Turin, officer.
- Why did Barill� shoot?

I don't know.

- What do you mean? You don't know him? Wasn't he travelling with you?
- No.

Why were you going to Turin?

To find a job.

And why did you get
married before leaving?

Because we love each other.

- Watch it.Your wife confessed.
- What did she confess?

Headed to Turin in search of a job.

He doesn't know the man that
was fighting with Barill�...

He doesn't know the reason for the fight
He's moving to Piemonte to find a job

Read, confirmed and undersigned.

Remember that if you sign a false
declaration, you'll be ruined.

Spadaro Barbara.

- Hey, listen, what about my wife?
- You wait! Caputo Nanni!

- Hey, listen...
- Calm down, Antonio.

Let me go, I haven't done
anything. My wife is outside.

She's alone. She's been alone
for more than 10 hours. Let me go!

We can let you go right away. Tell the
truth and you can go through that door.

Yes, Sir.

Who was the man that ran away?

- Our guide. - His
name? - Ciccio Dor�.

Where were you going?

To France.

You have three days to go back home.

You must go to the police officer in
your village to get this order signed

Whoever doesn't show up
will be put on trial...

for violation of this expulsion order.

Verderame Antonio.

Cammarata Saro.

- We can't go back home
- We had no work,so we decided to leave

We were starving. We have nothing left
back in the village, not even a bed.

- We have nothing left.
- We can't go back to eat rocks.

You should have been reported
for clandestine expatriation...

we are giving you the chance
to go back home, free, instead.

You have nothing? That's what
you get for trusting smugglers.

Here's your order.

Mierille Luca.

Mierille Rosa.

No!

Don't do it, Saro.

Here. A thousand each.
Count it, it's all there.

Remember what I told you: I have
to stop 12 kilometers outside Parma.

- You're on your own after that.
- Don't worry about it.

We need to get on a train as
far away from Rome as possible.

All right.

- Time to go!
- We're leaving, sir accountant. Let's go, quick.

Come on, squirrel, go to your dad.

Come on, sir.

- What about Lorenza?
- Poor girl! But we can't do anything for her.

We don't want you! Go away, you viper!

You ruined us! Go
away! Stay on your own!

Go with Vanni, and
don't show up ever again!

- What are you doing?
- We don't want her: all that's happened is her fault.

- Hers and Vanni's. They ruined us.
- She can't come with us.

She's cursed!

Barbara...

- Why don't you go back home?
- I can't go back home, not even dead.

Where will you go?

We've already suffered
too many misfortunes...

you wouldn't even treat
an animal this way.

Come on, get on the truck.

No... let him stay.

- S.Querceto is over there,express trains stop there too.
- How far is it?

- Around 20 kilometers.
- 20 kilometers?!

If I weren't late, I
would have taken you there.

You can get there in four
hours, if you have good legs.

Our legs are good, but we have no gas.

Let's go.

Hey!

Hey!

- I'm going to call him.
- Michelina!

The police!

- What are you doing?That's not yours!
- Where are you going? Stop there!

Where are you going?

From Sicily...

And you come this way to go to Piemonte?

I won't ask you for any papers.
If you want to work with me,

it's 1,000 lire for men, 500
for women and 500 for children.

It's an easy job, she can do it
too. Food and shelter included.

- And when you work with me, you eat three times a day.
- For how long?

Well, a week, ten days.

Then,when you've some money in your
pockets, you can go wherever you want.

- Agreed.
- Let's go, then.

Hey!

The reinforcements are
here. Where do you come from?

- From Sicily: we are Sicilians.
- There they are, the "terroni" (dirty southerners).

If we are "terroni", then you are
"polentoni" (stupid corn-eating northerners)!

If you come here, we are from
Bergamo. Start playing, come on.

- No, thanks.
- Yes.

No, no, thank you.

He said it was an easy
job and we accepted.

We got here yesterday. They
brought us here by truck.

Luca, what are you waiting for?

Hey, Mommino, come.

- Brasi, come. - Come on,
Mommino. - Bye, blondie.

- Luca!
- Luca!

Luca!

- Luca!
- Luca!

- Come on! -
Luca! - Come!

Luca!

Luca!

Luca...

I've always thought about you,
Rosa, every day, every minute,

every night.

Shall we dance, Barbara?

Look!

I wanted to say goodbye.
I'm leaving tomorrow.

Where are you going?

Near the border, to Noaschia.

I can't stay here any longer.
Vanni told me to wait for him there.

I'm saying goodbye to you now...

because I feel embarrassed
in front of the others.

I will always remember you,
and what you've done for me.

And I'll always remember your children.

- What are you doing?
- I'm darning this.

That's not darning. Give it to me.

What happens if Vanni's not in
Noaschia? What if he's been caught?

What will you do there, alone?

You deserve something better.

You're a good girl.

He used to work when I met him, then
I don't know what happened to him.

Bad things happen.

Do you love him?

I don't know. He has nobody left but me.

Saro! Saro!

- What happened?
- Three against one... Cowards! Bastards!

You should learn to
respect other men's girls.

- We're here to work.
- It's not about girls, I swear.

It's because we're Sicilians!
"Go back home", they said.

There were three of them. Those
cowards,they took me by surprise!

They don't want us here!

Who told you that you could
wander around the fields?

You don't know this town,
the people don't know you.

And you and they don't
even understand each other.

- It would be the same if they came to your village.
- We are going, sir.

You can go. Do as I tell you
and you'll have no troubles.

You have the right to
work and earn your bread.

The law protects you, anyway.

Come on, let's go.

Brasi!

Hey, Misciu.

Sir.

- What's going on? What do these people want?
- Nothing, nothing.

Don't move and calm down.

The police will take care of them.

- Dad! - You
scabs! - Go away!

- Traitors! -
Scoundrels! - Scabs!

What do you want? Why are you mad at us?

What union are you a member
of? Show us your union card.

We are outsiders
- we used to work in a sulfur mine, in Sicily.

- They hired us yesterday!
- Miners. They pick them in Sicily!

- Go back home!
- Didn't you know there's a strike going on?

- Go back to Sicily!
- You're working against the strike!

- Go away!
- Why? Because we're Sicilians?

- Not even a 100 of you could scare us
- We have the right to live too.

- Scoundrels!
- We are workers like you! Stop!

Dad! Dad!

The police!

- Dad!
- Saro!

Scoundrels!

Dad!

Michelina!

- Agreed? -Goodbye. -It didn't work out
this time. -It doesn't matter. -See you.

- Goodbye.
- Have a nice trip.

- Come on, hurry! -
Greetings. - Greetings.

Is everybody here?

- What are you doing? Come on.
- I'm coming. I'm coming.

Who else is missing?

Hey, what are you doing?
The truck is leaving. Hurry.

- The child is sick... I can't move her.
- She's feverish, sir.

Yes, but you won't find
another truck to take you there.

The others will attack
the farm if you stay here.

The officer said he won't take
any responsibility for this.

- Goodbye, Saro.
- Goodbye, Mommino, good luck.

- We'll wait for you. Come soon, Saro.
- Goodbye, Saro. -I'll join you later.

Go, go! I'm sorry for you,

but it would have been
better if you'd never come.

- Saro.
- Goodbye, sir.

- I shouldn't leave you alone...
- Come on, sir. - No, go.

- I'm a coward, Saro. I'm a coward, forgive me.
- Goodbye.

Get on the truck. Help him.

- Saro, Saro! Forgive me.
- Goodbye, Buda.

- Goodbye. -
Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Where can I find a doctor?

In town, but who could go there?
You�ll have to wait until tonight.

- The child needs a doctor.
- God, you know they'll tear you apart?

The police started shooting,
and there's a general strike.

Barbara...

Tell Saro that we went back home.

We're making a mistake, my
sons. This is a cursed journey:

too many misfortunes, too many
dangers, and the worst is yet to come.

The things they told us weren't true.
We've been tricked,we've been betrayed.

"The gallows are made
for the miserable".

I can't go on any longer.

If we have to die, it's better
to die where we were born.

We and the old bag are going
back home. Listen, Luca:

you are a young man and you
can afford to take risks,

but you can't take our daughter
with you and make her suffer.

This is the way real
men have always acted.

"When the sailor goes to sea,
his woman waits for him at home".

- I'm going back to Sicily too.
- Me too. - I'm going on, instead.

- Me too.
- Us too.

I can't let you come and suffer. I'll
earn money and I'll send it to you.

Then you'll be able to join me.

Your father is right. Be good,
wait for me and... Goodbye, Rosa.

Let's go, Luca. Don't worry,
Rosa, we'll keep an eye on him.

- Say hi to the sulfur mine for me!
- Say hi to France for us. -Bye, Rosa.

- We'll meet again.
- Be strong, Beatificata, be strong.

Goodbye, Mommino.

I'll manage, you'll see.
Goodbye, Brasi, and good luck.

Take this. A gift.

I'll remember you, Mommino.

Let's go, Luca.

Goodbye...

Come on, Luca. Let's go.

- Luca, hurry.
- Say hi to everybody back in the village.

- Goodbye! - Goodbye! -
Goodbye, Rosa, be strong.

- Best wishes.
- Say hi to France for me.

Goodbye!

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye!

- Luca! -
Rosa! - Rosa!

Luca! Luca!

- Luca! - Rosa. -
I'm coming with you.

Rosa!

Go!

What's up with Michelina? Is she dying?

- Where's Barbara?
- She went out a while ago.

Wait here.

Barbara!

Hey!

- Where does the doctor live?
- Close to the town hall.

- But the girl won't make it. -What
girl? - The one that was with you.

There's a strike;if they get her,she's in
trouble.She should've waited 'til tonight

A scab!

- Carmelo! - Hey, come back!

Carmelo...

It was God's will that the storm ended
and they made it across the border

They were exhausted, but they
still managed a good pace.

There was no bitter and frightening
mountain in front of them any longer,

but an easy and open downward slope,

which their hopes and
illusions slid down to gently:

France!

And while they stood watching,

their tender thoughts turned to
their white village in Sicily.

To the places,the things and the beloved
ones that they had left behind forever,

but most of all, to their
companions, lost during their journey.

To Lorenza, lost and
alone in the big city.

To Antonio, that everybody
had already forgiven.

To Mommino, who wouldn't
have sung his songs any more.

To Nanni, miserable and happy, that had
said goodbye,shouting:"Say hi to France"

To accountant Carmelo,
now buried in the snow,

who had painfully answered him:
"We'll meet again, we'll meet again".

They won't ever see Carmelo again.

You will always find soldiers
along the borders, on each side.

With different uniforms,
speaking different languages.

But up here, where loneliness is
so great, men are not so alone,

and they're certainly closer to each other
than people walking along city streets

where they bump into each other
without even looking at each other.

The exchange of a cigarette;
the offer of a glass of wine,

are here the signs of human
bonding, of the need for fraternity,

that men often forget, but which
is always present in their hearts.

Borders exist only on maps,
but on Earth, as God made it...

sailing across every sea,

searching along every river
or every mountain ridge,

you will never find any
borders on this Earth.

Hey!

Somebody's down there.

So, no passport?

Where do you come from?

- Where do you come from?
- From Sicily.

From Sicily?!

Let's go!
