1
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,200
It's true.

2
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,800
I stole.

3
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,835
I always have my share of pleasure
what I longed for was stolen.

4
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,040
From everything and everyone.

5
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,640
Is it too light now?
Should I close them a little?

6
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,143
How many times have I been in love?

7
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,640
Every time it was necessary.

8
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,160
Darker?

9
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,040
Hey, girl.

10
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,315
The corpses of her mother and sister
were in the house.

11
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,555
Someone had locked them up
in a room.

12
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,715
The poor wretches,
they couldn't escape.

13
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,715
Holy Mary, how cruel.

14
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,475
Doctor Milazzo examined her
and said she had been abused.

15
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,040
Blessed Virgin Mary.
- Enough, be quiet. Quiet.

16
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:03,195
Yep, 1909.
Terrible things happen.

17
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,035
This didn't even happen
in the Middle Ages.

18
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,675
Because the godly people
left here.

19
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,835
Wicked ones. Do you know how much I
have you seen there? A whole bunch.

20
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,435
Adjutant.
- Sorry, Your Excellency.

21
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,395
We don't want her there
remember. She must forget it.

22
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,515
In the name of St. Agatha is this girl
become a martyr.

23
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,040
Don't torment her anymore.

24
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,520
What's this girl's name?
- Her name is Modesta.

25
00:04:27,291 --> 00:04:28,515
Modesta.

26
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,995
Come on, let's talk outside.

27
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,155
They have the burned clothes
of a man found.

28
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:36,715
But not his body.

29
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:39,275
We'll keep her with us tonight.

30
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,955
Then we decide where to put them
going to. By the way, Adjutant...

31
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,995
My apologies again.
- Listen...

32
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,528
Come back tomorrow,
we can't keep her here.

33
00:04:48,654 --> 00:04:49,675
Good.

34
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,840
She will probably end up in an orphanage.

35
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,960
Modesta.

36
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,200
Modesta.

37
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,148
Did you remove the ice from the mountain?

38
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,795
And the eggs?
- Shut up.

39
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,195
Bring me my eggs.

40
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,075
There are two.
- Just two?

41
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,955
And the third? Did you eat that?

42
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,480
They're too small.

43
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,800
Come here.

44
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,155
They hurt, they're too small.
-Tina gets everything.

45
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:16,675
Even shoes for her communion.

46
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,440
Stay away from that dress.

47
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Go out and take that goat with you.

48
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,880
They hurt, they're too small.

49
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,200
Modesta, the goat.

50
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,920
It's raining.

51
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,515
They take her to the orphanage
the Daughters of Mary.

52
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,755
It's swarming with vermin there.

53
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,435
The dogs get better food.
Then those poor orphans.

54
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,120
I grab the towel.

55
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,440
There is no bigger one.

56
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,600
I'll go get him.

57
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,043
What are you doing now? Come here.
Where are you going?

58
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,418
Let's cover this shame.

59
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,795
Come on, Ilaria. Play on.

60
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,395
Sorry, mother Leonora,
we didn't want to disturb you.

61
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,480
This child is driving us crazy.

62
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,120
Oh, you're there too.

63
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,880
Leave me alone. Grab your things.

64
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,560
Big star.

65
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,560
Little star.

66
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,520
Tuzzu's star.

67
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,240
Modesta, come down.
This devil stole the dress.

68
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,000
The girl is so greedy.
- Indeed.

69
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,213
Excuse me, mother.

70
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,720
Come along. Come.

71
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,600
Rosalia. Incoronata.

72
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,915
This girl can't stay with us
eat in the dining room. She is indecent.

73
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,995
Luckily she leaves tomorrow.
- Don't worry, Sister Costanza.

74
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,960
Knife. Fork.

75
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:39,035
Teach her to eat like a human.
- We will.

76
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,800
But I don't understand. I'm hungry.
- We don't speak a dialect here.

77
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,760
Please. Eat.

78
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,760
No. Here.

79
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,600
Like this.

80
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,000
Don't you pray?

81
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,915
Virgin Mary, pray to my angel
and speak to the Holy Spirit.

82
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,235
Cook something delicious. Good night.

83
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,360
Holy Virgin, help us.

84
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,120
Hey, girl.

85
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,600
Come on, hurry up.

86
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,360
Only a beast from a stable would
do something like that.

87
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,120
It's a shame.

88
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:02,960
Mother Leonora.

89
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,555
Sister Incoronata,
get this stuff washed...

90
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:09,840
and take the girl to her cell.

91
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,160
Come, Ilaria.

92
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,500
What a shame, mother.

93
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,315
Come.
- Who is that nun?

94
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,515
Mother Leonora, our abbess.
She decides everything.

95
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,040
Modesta. Modesta, stop.
Holy Mary.

96
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,715
What are you doing now? Leave her alone.
You should leave her alone.

97
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,240
Ilaria, stop it.

98
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,800
Good.

99
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,600
I understand.

100
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,920
Come along.

101
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,200
Is this your house?
- This is where I study.

102
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,520
Sit down.

103
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,278
What's your name again?

104
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,480
What's your name?

105
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,280
Modesta.

106
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,920
Modesta.

107
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,240
What a beautiful name.

108
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,600
Sister Costanza has me
told about you.

109
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,200
What are you looking at?

110
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:00,080
Saint Agatha?

111
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,480
Do you know her story?

112
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,720
Agatha was a girl
of fifteen years...

113
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,360
with golden hair.

114
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:19,743
She dedicated her life to God
and took a vow of chastity.

115
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,775
The Governor of Sicily
had set his sights on her.

116
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,560
But she turned him down.

117
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,320
So he had her tortured.

118
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,920
They burned her.

119
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,040
Burned?

120
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,400
They beat her.

121
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,343
At the height of the frenzy...

122
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,835
they tore off her breasts
with huge tongs.

123
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,360
Breasts.

124
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,680
Did she die?

125
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,435
Her body died.

126
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:00,435
But her soul is in heaven.

127
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,950
And she was canonized.

128
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,000
Did that scare you?

129
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,160
No?

130
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,880
That's a good thing, poor girl,
after everything you've been through.

131
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,503
Do you want to tell me?
whoever was in the house...

132
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,240
when it burned down?

133
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,360
My mother and my sister.

134
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,400
Did you know that your mother and sister...

135
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,560
have been recalled to
God's house?

136
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,200
Yes.

137
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,640
Was there also a man?

138
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,323
Did he hurt you?

139
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,763
You can tell me.

140
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,713
Did he set the house on fire?

141
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:17,360
He got angry because she always...
talked. They were never silent.

142
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,080
Enough.

143
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,665
Now that you're here with us...

144
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,200
are you safe.

145
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,480
Sit down.

146
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,360
What big eyes.

147
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,198
This is the beautiful eye...

148
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,040
and this is his brother.

149
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,400
This is the church.

150
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,720
And these are the little brothers.

151
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:56,560
The nose is the clock
it goes from dingdong, dingong.

152
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,000
Stupid, dirty daughter
of a mongrel dog.

153
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,210
You stole your sister's dress.

154
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,515
You can only go to
an institution or an orphanage...

155
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,078
and eat bread and water.

156
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,800
You are wicked.
You have no respect for anything.

157
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,440
Come on.

158
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,955
Look at Tina, how beautiful.
- Good morning.

159
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,835
Hi.

160
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,268
How are you?

161
00:16:42,394 --> 00:16:44,074
One foot here. Help her.

162
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,235
Help her, otherwise the dress will get dirty.

163
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,715
The dress, please.

164
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,195
And there she is. Good girl.

165
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,635
She's a devil, as always.

166
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,160
Tuzzu.

167
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,400
Always problems.

168
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,118
Greece?
- Athens.

169
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,475
The Ottoman Empire?
- Constantinople.

170
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,200
Egypt?
- 'Cairon'.

171
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:10,955
Cairo.

172
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,480
Peru.

173
00:17:13,507 --> 00:17:14,555
Lima.

174
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,875
Well done.

175
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,675
She looks like a tame monkey.

176
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,738
Three months ago
God sent us this girl.

177
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,665
We fed her, washed her
and educated her.

178
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,955
And we will continue to do that.

179
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,560
Modesta stays with us
until she is an adult.

180
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,750
And God willing, she will be
His bride, just like us.

181
00:17:35,876 --> 00:17:36,911
How generous.

182
00:17:37,037 --> 00:17:38,060
Mimmo.

183
00:17:38,186 --> 00:17:40,506
I can stay here forever.

184
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:43,245
Would you like to take a ride on my back?

185
00:17:45,947 --> 00:17:47,035
Come on.

186
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,300
Mother Leonora...

187
00:17:48,426 --> 00:17:52,239
you know the families of
our novices will not be happy.

188
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,635
For 200 years, living in this monastery...

189
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,635
only daughters from the best families
from Sicily.

190
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,200
Single and alone
from noble families.

191
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,675
Charity has been around for 200 years
our mission.

192
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,475
It is our duty to the poor
and to help the simple.

193
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,035
It's not their fault
that they are ignorant.

194
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,223
Christ has us
shown the way.

195
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,635
'Let the children come to me...

196
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,385
for the kingdom of God belongs
to those who are like them.'

197
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,000
Leonora, you're making a mistake.

198
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:27,620
We'll regret it.

199
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,120
Is it You, God?

200
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,040
God is good.

201
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,475
He is in everything that is good.
God is in everything around us.

202
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,360
Even in bad things?

203
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,920
Ilaria, did you hear what she said?

204
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,235
Bad things happen
because man is tempted.

205
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:17,160
Is man stronger than God?
- No.

206
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,635
God is omnipotent and above all
and everyone, Modesta.

207
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,315
When you're older,
you will study theology.

208
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,635
Then all these mysteries are revealed.

209
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,035
Why when I'm older?
I want to know now.

210
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,275
You just learned to read and write.
You don't understand yet.

211
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,525
You gain knowledge step by step.

212
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,858
My god, an earthquake. Mother...
-Modesta.

213
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,640
Mother.

214
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,920
It's him. It's the mountain.

215
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,640
Do you feel how fast your heart is beating,
girl?

216
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,843
I grew and changed.

217
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,045
Mother Leonora's soft voice.

218
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,595
Her blue eyes.

219
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,075
The rustling of her clothes.

220
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,515
It let me through those dark hallways
flying to get to her.

221
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,328
To always be with her.

222
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,315
From her mouth I stole words,
musical notes.

223
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,875
Ideas that no one understands
could ever decrease.

224
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,515
God's bride.

225
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,675
In the monastery I embroidered,
I learned and made music.

226
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,795
I ate every day like it was Sunday.

227
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,115
The sheets smelled
to sugared almonds.

228
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,553
But to spend my whole life there
are...

229
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,040
Bend your finger.

230
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,555
Ilaria, please.

231
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,760
Your wish has been fulfilled.

232
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,235
But now I'm all alone.

233
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:14,915
You won't be there anymore
to comfort me.

234
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,680
Don't be silly,
you will never be alone.

235
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,013
You are now a bride of God.

236
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,560
Since you are no longer a novice...

237
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,835
can you assist the other sisters?

238
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,760
Excuse me, mother, may I?

239
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:33,840
Go ahead, Modesta. Welcome.

240
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,440
Sister.

241
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,200
Mother, thank you for welcoming me
and that I may live next to you.

242
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,920
Modesta.

243
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,088
Faster, or she'll catch a cold.

244
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,640
I'm doing it a bit tight.

245
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,400
I'll do it.

246
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,840
There you go.

247
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,600
Is it too tight?
- No.

248
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,630
What have they done to you?

249
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,278
Tied you up
like a mangy dog.

250
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:36,800
Are you that naughty, girl?

251
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,280
No, she hit me.

252
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,595
They left you like
a tomato hanging to dry.

253
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,120
Holy Mother, I'll take care of it.

254
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,080
What a beautiful daughter I have.

255
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,320
Do you want to see my house?

256
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,195
Saint Augustine converted
when he was an adult.

257
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,995
But no one ever has
prayed with the same remorse...

258
00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:28,000
for what he called 'ancient corruptions'
mentioned.

259
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,795
I want to read something from
Pierre de Labriolle...

260
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,358
from 'About True Love'.
Is that allowed, mother?

261
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,068
'The memory of loving
still lives in him.

262
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,515
The fleeting grace of bodies.

263
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:47,200
The splendor of the light, the lovely
melodies of song...

264
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,755
and the wonderful scent of flowers.

265
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,315
Body parts made for
the fellowship of the flesh...'

266
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,560
Thanks, Modesta. That's enough.

267
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,675
Who wants to go further?
- I'd like to say...

268
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,160
The community.
May God protect us.

269
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:09,680
The fleeting grace of bodies.
May God save and set us free.

270
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,720
The desire.
May God bless us.

271
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,160
They had God.

272
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,550
I longed for life.

273
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,315
They were against life
with words like...

274
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,280
bad, hell,
obedience, sin.

275
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,720
I too repeated them diligently.

276
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,555
But only to be accepted
to become.

277
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,755
To be Leonora's chosen one.

278
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,915
You can only love God.
- That's right, Sister Ilaria.

279
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,115
The words falling from her lips
rolled, were as round as apples.

280
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,915
You have to be more careful, Modesta.
Intelligence can be dangerous.

281
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,555
But as soon as you tasted them, you noticed
immediately that they were rotten.

282
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,235
And it can make us...
- To fall into the trap of sin.

283
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:55,000
Shame.

284
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,335
But I want to study
and develop myself.

285
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,320
Your thirst for knowledge
almost scares me.

286
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,195
Besides, what good is it?

287
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,695
A woman never will
to obtain the wisdom of a man.

288
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,218
But you are a woman
and you are learned, mother.

289
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:13,920
I want to be like you.

290
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,258
What a crazy girl you are.

291
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:24,000
Look, there's the telescope
that my father gave me.

292
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,795
He taught me the names of the stars
which I will show you tonight.

293
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,715
How big will they be
when we look through this telescope?

294
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,340
We can too
see the craters on the moon?

295
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,330
Poor wretches, they got wet.

296
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,840
Come on, we're going back too
to our cells.

297
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,880
Come warm yourself.
- Yes, thanks.

298
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,800
Modesta, I want you
you always feel safe.

299
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:28,880
Despite your origins.

300
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,000
But I feel safe with you.

301
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,440
That's how it should be.

302
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,840
I have decided on an annuity
to arrange for you.

303
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,453
For life, if I'm gone.
- Mother, don't say that.

304
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,515
Don't scare me, you're still young.
I don't want an annuity.

305
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:50,995
Don't be afraid.

306
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:56,195
If it happens, many years from now,
I will watch over you from above...

307
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,008
and always be close to you.

308
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,110
Go change, you're wet.

309
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,520
What is?

310
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,670
Are you afraid of the thunder?

311
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,840
Do you know what we do?

312
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,108
You can sleep with me tonight then
we can encourage each other.

313
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,720
Here. Put this on.

314
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,560
What is? Are you ashamed?

315
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,560
No problem. I'll turn around.

316
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,283
You turn around too.

317
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,400
It's too big for you.

318
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:33,960
A little.

319
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,685
Are we going to do it again, mother?

320
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,758
Let's go again
looking at the stars?

321
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,240
Naturally.

322
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,720
I'm glad you're there
you are interested in.

323
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,520
When I was little...

324
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,000
I made up the names of the stars.

325
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:16,800
I climbed onto the roof.

326
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,403
I lay down for a long time...

327
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,440
and looked up at the sky.

328
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:30,920
Big star.

329
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,040
Thick.

330
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,800
Little star.

331
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:42,960
Tuzzu's star.

332
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:44,920
Tuzzu.

333
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,720
Tuzzu?

334
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,800
Tuzzu?

335
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,560
Tuzzu.

336
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,025
Why are you standing there like an idiot?
Are you looking at the flies?

337
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,000
Do you smoke now?

338
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,520
Since two days. It's about time.

339
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,560
And where did you leave your sister?

340
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,955
Tina is useless.

341
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,205
When she eats she makes noises.
She always screams.

342
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,715
Listen to that wretch.
She's your sister.

343
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,760
She's stupid, but she's your sister.
- Ugly, fat and full of shit.

344
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,040
What are you doing, silly?
Did you fall asleep?

345
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,440
Let me look into your eyes.

346
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,553
So I can understand what the sea is like.

347
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,943
Go ahead, I won't stop you.

348
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,720
If you really want to know
what the sea is like.

349
00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:13,120
Go ahead.

350
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,040
You have beautiful eyes up close.

351
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,568
I never noticed that.

352
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,480
They look like honey.

353
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,595
Guard.
- What? I have to go to work.

354
00:34:33,720 --> 00:34:37,533
Why do I want to caress myself here if
we are so close to each other?

355
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,120
Where the pee comes out.
- What are you saying? You're a pain in the ass.

356
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,875
Do you think I'm stupid?
I'm a man.

357
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,755
If you don't leave, I'll grab you.

358
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,675
Then it becomes a mess.
- Let's just do it.

359
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,440
I'm not afraid, you are.
Look, you're shaking.

360
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,000
Now I have to stop, you naughty girl.

361
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,953
You drove me crazy. But I want it
don't screw it up for you. Come on, go.

362
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,560
Mother?

363
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,568
It's time for the lauds.

364
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,440
With bare feet...

365
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,640
your chest among the leaves,
my lips, your breath...

366
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,120
my neck, you sweat.

367
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,680
Amen.

368
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,155
Leonora hasn't even had breakfast.
- Did you take it to her cell?

369
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,675
No, I was late.
She was about to leave.

370
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,925
To Catania?
- I don't know.

371
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,840
Mother.

372
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,583
I'll take your luggage to the carriage.

373
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:11,915
Good morning, Modesta.
- Good morning.

374
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,800
Are you leaving without saying anything?

375
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,165
Yes, I received a letter this morning.

376
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,595
I'm going to Catania,
a family matter.

377
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:25,235
To Catania? As far?
- It's a day's travel.

378
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,235
Let me come with you.
- No.

379
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,835
I can keep you company.
- That's not possible.

380
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,715
You have to stay here.
That's safer.

381
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,755
You may not know,
but it is war.

382
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,635
Terrible things happen
my darling.

383
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,080
Mother? I heard you're leaving.

384
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,653
I hope you come back soon.

385
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,245
Can I make myself useful?
- No, thank you, Ilaria. You can go.

386
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,560
This is the beautiful eye.

387
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,960
This is his brother.

388
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:01,760
This is the church.

389
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,600
And these are the little brothers.

390
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,200
And this is the clock...

391
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,880
it goes from dingdong, dingdong.

392
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,675
I'll help you, mother.
- Good morning, Mimmo.

393
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,440
Have a nice trip.
- Thank you.

394
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:22,640
Goodbye.

395
00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:33,915
This is where we keep the rabbits.

396
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:38,120
And we also have a goat, but...
- Then what happened?

397
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,835
That's where we put Tina
when she cries and makes noise.

398
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,440
Yes, she's crying. I know Tina is crying.

399
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,315
We eat at this table.

400
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,475
Here lies our bread,
our eggs and olives.

401
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,000
Do you eat that a lot?

402
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,080
I'm always hungry.

403
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:01,148
This is mom's bed, that's where Tina sleeps.
And I sleep at the end of the bed.

404
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,720
And these are my things.

405
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,000
Do you know what we're going to do now?
I'll take them to Catania.

406
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,160
To Catania?
- Yes, Catania.

407
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,720
Come here. Come.

408
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,320
You are a rosebud.

409
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,880
Catania is a beautiful city.

410
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,075
Is there the sea?
- Of course there is the sea.

411
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,120
There is the port, there are ships
and the ships are very large.

412
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,960
And there are beautiful,
tall buildings...

413
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:37,800
full of lights.

414
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,480
Will you take me there?

415
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:48,120
If you behave, I'll take you away
from Chiana del Bove.

416
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:53,160
To see the world.
- The world?

417
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,233
I can't believe you're here.

418
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,835
Are you there or are you not there?

419
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,915
Are you there or not?

420
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,440
Are you there?

421
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,680
What a beautiful mouth you have.

422
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,280
What are you doing here?

423
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:18,760
Leave her alone.
- She was tied up in the sun.

424
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,075
Is this how you treat my daughter?
I'll cut off your hand.

425
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,120
Leave her alone.
Grab your things and leave.

426
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,280
Otherwise I'll get the carabinieri.

427
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:34,520
The carabinieri? Nonsense. Where do you want
get that from? From behind the door?

428
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,400
Go look for them in the Chiana.
Then go get them.

429
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,000
Modesta, come here.

430
00:40:45,251 --> 00:40:46,435
Come here.

431
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,560
Here, I have money for you, look.

432
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,915
What is? Can't reach it?

433
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:57,080
Come on, poor man.
Do you want to have money? Here.

434
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,075
Stop.
- Go away, you dirty bastard.

435
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,195
Let her go or I'll kill you.

436
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,275
Modesta, come here.
- I want to stay with him.

437
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,755
Fuck off, she wants
stay with her father.

438
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,835
I'll kill you.
- What are you doing?

439
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,148
What are you doing now? Wretched.
- Leave her alone.

440
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,555
I'll break your neck. Stay there.
- Let her.

441
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:21,000
Mom, enough.

442
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,800
Don't worry, we're just fooling around.
- Mom, enough.

443
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,240
You did well, she deserves it.

444
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,080
You know? We have the same blood.
Come here.

445
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,280
You are my pussy.

446
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,560
Little kitty.

447
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,960
Little girl, little pussy.

448
00:41:45,240 --> 00:41:46,640
What is?

449
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,273
You're as red as a pomegranate.

450
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:52,800
My beauty.

451
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,200
Tell me.

452
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,133
How do you want to go to Catania?

453
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,315
On foot or on horseback?

454
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,880
On horseback, but I can't
horse riding.

455
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,520
No problem, I'll teach you.

456
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,400
But don't be so stiff.

457
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,120
Why are you crawling away?
Are you afraid?

458
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,640
No, they get on my nerves.

459
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,225
Just don't listen to them.

460
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,080
How nice.

461
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,200
How nice to look at you.

462
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,520
Don't be afraid.

463
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,040
Come on, let's lie down together for a while.

464
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,680
Don't worry.

465
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,560
Come here.

466
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,320
You are a gift.

467
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:17,800
A gift.

468
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,560
Do you like it with us?

469
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,715
When we first arrived at the monastery,
we missed our parents too.

470
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,560
I also had to get used to life
without my mother and sisters.

471
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,155
Where do you come from?
What is your surname?

472
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,075
We are the Chiaromontes from Ragusa.

473
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,555
But I grew up in
the palace in Catania.

474
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,680
And you?
- I am the Marchioness of Altavilla.

475
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,035
There was a debutante ball this year
in Catania?

476
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,075
No, since the start of the war...

477
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,155
there are no weddings, galas
or more engagements.

478
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,780
All young men are
entered service. It's so sad.

479
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,080
Where do you come from?

480
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,743
She is truly a privileged lady.

481
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,320
The Marquise
from Chiana del Bove.

482
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,075
I don't know that gender.
Where do they come from?

483
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:15,755
Don't you know them?

484
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:20,040
From the valley of Etna,
surrounded by lava and mud.

485
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,800
It's a beautiful place. There are also
many goats, cows and hens.

486
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:28,960
What is she doing?

487
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,898
Don't know the Chiana del Bove?

488
00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:40,053
The kingdom of Chiana del Bove.
Have you never heard of that?

489
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,480
Thank you.

490
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,155
'I'm only wearing
thinking of you, my dear.

491
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,920
Your eyes, your mouth.

492
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,515
I can't wait to be alone with you
to be and make you feel...

493
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,040
how much i love you.

494
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,320
A warm embrace.'

495
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,875
Good morning, Modesta.

496
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,715
You look very happy today.
- So am I.

497
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,195
Mother Leonora is back.

498
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,075
She's taking me tonight
to look at the stars.

499
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,635
I've never seen them before
was so fond of one of us.

500
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:52,875
What do you mean?

501
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:57,075
Mother Leonora has a big heart.
She loves us all equally.

502
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,560
You're right.
I have committed the sin of jealousy.

503
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,235
Since you got here,
mother Leonora blossoms again.

504
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:08,235
None of us are ever with
mother Leonora has been in the tower.

505
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,280
Mimmo.

506
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,475
Hey. What are you doing now? Get off me.

507
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,560
You're not a little girl anymore
and I'm getting old.

508
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:21,783
I told you to be careful.
Carefully.

509
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,000
Stay away from the well.

510
00:46:25,720 --> 00:46:27,755
That dark water attracts
tormented souls.

511
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,818
I am not a tortured soul.
I just wanted to see what I look like.

512
00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:33,675
I know you don't have a mirror.

513
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,275
I don't know
what my mouth or eyes look like.

514
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,515
I don't know if I'm beautiful or ugly
am. I wanted to see that.

515
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,040
You, ugly?

516
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,195
You look like a princess.

517
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,035
You don't know how much those women like
who speak evil of you...

518
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,755
your royal step
would like to have.

519
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,640
Your porcelain skin, your swan neck.

520
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,805
Don't forget,
even if you were born in Chiana...

521
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,000
you are the noblest woman here.

522
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,160
If I were a bee...

523
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,840
I would over these lips
like rosebuds fly.

524
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:12,600
What does the bee do?

525
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:18,800
Land on me.

526
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,640
What are you saying, little one?

527
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,000
Do I look like a bee? Fuck off.

528
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,715
Poor Mimmo, he was such a good man.

529
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,515
And I tormented him with impunity.

530
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,955
Because I was happy,
maybe too happy.

531
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:39,555
Leonora was back.

532
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,475
My darling, she had written.

533
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,225
I found myself in an unimaginable place
state of rapture.

534
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:47,560
Out of pure joy.

535
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,160
That's the Big Dipper.

536
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:57,720
Sirius is slightly higher,
the brightest star in the firmament.

537
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,200
Firmament.

538
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:02,200
What a beautiful word.

539
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,000
Carefully.

540
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,320
It's unstable.

541
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,040
Sorry.

542
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:23,600
And you, mother?

543
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,635
How was your life
before you took the vow?

544
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:29,920
I was a different person.

545
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,880
I come from a world where
did not penetrate the word of God.

546
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,600
I wore organza dresses with
ridiculous amount of lace and bows.

547
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,000
I went to the hairdresser every day.

548
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:47,875
I would have liked to have known you then.

549
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,520
No. Don't say that, little one.

550
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,450
Let yourself be seduced
by worldly things is a sin.

551
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,123
I was engaged to
a cavalry officer.

552
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,075
A German nobleman who
had already killed three people...

553
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,555
for trivial reasons
of worldly honor.

554
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,080
May God forgive him.

555
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,835
I only had it once
seen briefly, under my balcony.

556
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,360
With his unity.
- What did he look like?

557
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,880
He was tall and had dark hair.

558
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,360
Then we saw each other again
at a gala.

559
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:34,800
He asked me to dance.

560
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,000
While dancing...

561
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,800
he pressed me against him
and I got scared.

562
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,583
I have always been disgusted by men.

563
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,240
The thought that their hands...

564
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:59,880
would caress my skin or even me
would touch under my clothes.

565
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,800
But everything is between us
completely different.

566
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,080
Right?

567
00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:25,400
I heard you the other day.

568
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,080
Before you left.

569
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:31,680
What did you hear?

570
00:50:33,720 --> 00:50:35,440
When you caressed yourself.

571
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:37,875
I wanted to caress you...

572
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,400
How dare you?

573
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,675
Go away.
- Mother...

574
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,680
Go away. May God forgive you. Go.

575
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:51,920
Through my fault, through my fault,
through my great fault.

576
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:07,280
Mom?

577
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,400
Mom?

578
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:18,520
