It’s almost midnight.

To me, it’s a girl.

A boy, a boy...

Keep still!

Come on, my Gavina...

- Come on Gavi, I can already see the head.

Push Gavi, and this time you’ll see it’ll be a fine little boy.

Marianna! Come back here.

Push Gavi!

It’s a girl...

Look what I brought you!

Eat up Fidè, it’s good for your spirit!

I made it for you in school this morning.

What’s written here?

- Fidela, didn’t water teach you that dolls are only for casting evil spells?

If I catch you playing with dolls again, I’ll hang you by the neck!

- So Marianna, did you gobble down the whole lamb?

- Let her be. Starting now, she has to learn to be a mother.

You’re so beautiful Maria! Go see Dad to get your picture taken.

Are you dancing too?!

Drink up!

No Mama, not today!

- Well, you’ll drink it anyway because the blood you have to drink here

and not going around stealing it from newborn babies!

You want to become a good witch, don’t you?

And this ivy too. So good for evil spirits! Do you get it?

Why don’t you leave Fidela alone?

She helped Bortigalisa to be born.

You always do what your mother wants.

- Mario, Mom says she really has that gift.

At least she knows how to straighten her out.

She’s always wet as we don’t have any water at home.

And people see that...

Let’s go take that picture.

- Is everybody here? - Only my mother is missing.

- What about Fidela? - Look how dirty she is.

- Yes, but she didn’t get dirty by herself. - Be quiet now.

- Think about how many pictures we’ll take for your wedding.

Look! The minor witch is starting.

Maria! Hurry up! Come here.

But are you sure?

Look Fidè, Mama’s right. If I don’t get my blessings,

- nobody is ever going to marry me. - Try anyway.

I feel this place has power.

- The wine boy is already here. See how I called him right away?

You go help Marianna!

Fidè...

Come here.

Wanna give Dad a kiss?

Good morning, Mrs. Gavì.

- Good morning Antò... put them there, please.

How is your husband feeling?

- Ehh...the Lord is calling him. Wait here and I’ll get your money.

I’m here.

- When you reach Genova, take the train all the way to Antwerp.

Yes Ma.

- Right from the station you can walk to the lady who will be hiring you.

- Mom, you’ll see that the doctor is going to help me?

Let’s hope so.

- If it all goes bad, I’ll go and work in the mines with my cousins.

Go and do your very best,

because I have the richest trosseau of all waiting for you.

- Hurry up! The train is leaving. - Go.

- So now I shouldn’t bring you wine anymore?

- No, Antò. Dad was the only one in the family who drank it.

- So what can I do to see you from now on?

Tickets please!

Hurry up, Fidè!

Excuse me.

I’ll leave them here.

Cover up! Tits are only good for females.

You think I didn’t notice how that wine boy looks at you?

And why do you think he’s looking like that, eh?

Maybe he cares for me.

No man can care for you, Fidè...

because you’re a disgrace.

All your blessings...should have gone to Marianna, not you.

You have the smell of my house.

Dumì, there’s Antonio.

- Careful Antonio, she can make your penis fall off.

- And then she’ll use it to make a soup!

- That little bastard girl is still here, is she?

She’s done nothing.

Shut up, you whore!

Were you there, under the bombs?

And in the hospital with the smell of shit?

You were fucking around like a rabbit...

and I come home to find this blonde bastard girl!

I thought you were dead...

- They’ll see you dead, you and that one there!

Unless you bring this family back to what it was before.

Do you understand?

I had six daughters. Six!

And six daughters is what I want to have.

Take her wherever the fuck you want.

Let’s hope that in this period

people forget the nonsense you pulled with Antonio.

- I’ll do what you want Ma, so at least they will respect me.

- So do your best to learn how to help these people.

Grandma gave me this for you for when you were ready to understand it.

Study it like your Ave Maria.

Go with God. You have a long way ahead of you.

- “Susanna begat Anna, and Anna begat Mary...

and Mary begat Jesus, and never another jinx between us.”

- Nice to meet you! - You speak Italian?

- Dr. Stevens told me everything about you,

but I imagine you don’t know that much about me.

- I know you study waters and the long-lived people...

As I was explaining to James,

the Sardinian people are one of the longest-lived in the world.

- Mr. Mamoto, I don’t mean to be impolite...

but I’m here about my menses. I want to have a child.

I know. To find your cure,

you may have to travel no further than your front door.

My front door?

Please...

- God above, I’ve never performed any spells...

even if I’ve figured out how to do the evil eye.

I miss Marianna....

Please take care of her.

There was a spell under his bed, Mrs. Porquè...

someone wants bad things for you.

Our glorious Maria...

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

God did not wish to save you.

- Did you burn it? - Yes. A woman made it...

but the house is safe.

- Did you find more? - No.

Fidela, hurry...hurry up!

Tell me, Don Marcè.

- Remember Marianzela, the one who left town?

She called me about her daughter.

Not to baptize her as she should have done...

but to say, without the least bit of shame, that the poor girl

is the child of a foreigner!

- I walked 10 kilometers with the cow to listen to gossip, Don Marcè?!

- You have to be her “soul mother,” as you all say here.

You have to be her mother!

Me?

- Marianzela herself told me she wants you!

No, Don Marcè, no!

She’s a 7th child, like you...

and unless she’s with you, she’ll be thrown in a ditch and fed to the hogs!

She’s a 7th girl, and she has to go with you.

Let me think it over, Don Marcè.

Yes, good. You’re a real peach!

Bastiana, come!

There’s a surprise for you!

Look at that! Look what’s here. You see?

I had the cow come. You see? Don Marcello always keeps his promises.

And so now the both of you have come to church. Take care!

So for you it’s all done like this, eh?

And how was I supposed to fix it?

Listen Fidè, I’ve got too many things to do--church service...

learning the blessed Sardinian language...

- We’re not going to take the doll at least?

Cows don’t like dolls.

- Nice! What’s its name? - Bortigalesa.

Is this where we stay for the vacation?

This is not a vacation. This is home.

- What’s this? - Drop it!

What an ugly stain!

What’s your job?

- I tan animal hides, speak to water and help babies to be born.

And where are your babies?

You are my baby now.

I already have a mama.

- Yes, but she doesn’t want you anymore.

Is it because I have this hair?

Eat the ivy.

- Are you sad because everyone was crying at Mr. Porqueddu’s funeral?

Lower your voice. Yes.

- How come you’re always the first to sing?

- Because I’m the one who leads the souls to where they have to go.

Be quiet now!

- I like it a lot when you sing. You’re the best!

- Oh Fidè, take a few things to fix up that house.

It looks like a cave!

- How was Porqueddu’s funeral? - A funeral, Ma.

- There was nothing you could do? - No. It was a commissioned curse.

- It was his sister-in-law! She’s a bad one.

She goes to cut his hair and sends him the evil eye!

He who wants too much loses both the milk and the pot in the end!

She’s Marianzela’s daughter?

And you thought they wouldn’t tell me anything!

Go play awhile, Bastià!

- But maybe she’s an evil witch and agrees to kill people.

She doesn’t have your blood, so what do you know?

Stop it Ma, she can hear you.

- Don’t bring her to my house anymore, if you don’t mind!

I raised two ingrates, you and that sister of yours

who’s writing as if she no longer remembers where she was born.

I like Marianna’s writing,

and if she doesn’t come back, it’s because of you! You’ll never change.

Ah look, they’re getting married.

Did you not know, Fidè?

Duminiga and that friend of yours, Antonio...

You didn’t know, eh?

You’re playing with a doll?!

Maybe if you were born with dark hair you’d still be with your mother!

But you’re with me and tonight you’re going to sleep in the cellar!

I’ve met you before!

- Why do you have that thing on your head?

- It’s not true that dolls only bring trouble and I’m not blonde anymore!

- In any case, your mother will not not be coming to pick you up!

Bastià...let’s play a game.

It’s called “Acchiappa Puda.”

You have to try and catch a slow chicken and bring it to me right away.

I haven’t seen you two in church.

Got it!

Why, is there a problem with that?

- People murmur, and the thunderbolt is tremendous!

You have to baptize her now. To save her soul!

- Worry about your own soul. I’ll worry about hers.

Why?

Because you have to learn Bastià,

that death comes for everyone, animals and people alike.

But if you listen to me, you can make life longer even for chickens.

Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Giuseppa’s funeral was more beautiful

with that Ave Maria sung!

Don Bachisio knew how to fill our hearts. This one, no!

He doesn’t even shave his beard...

- Excuse me Fidè...but what did I get wrong this time?

I thought I said everything perfectly fine, as you told me.

Now who might this be?

- She’s my sister, Don Marcè. - Ahh, she’s very nice!

I imagine you must be the new priest?

Eh...always new...let’s say “new.”

Good morning.

That one turned completely silly...

She brings two strangers here, just for the joy of making an easy scandal!

And dressed like that!

- Mom! - Marià...

So fancy! It’s too much.

Stop!

- Marià...I’m sorry that nothing could be done in Belgium.

- Don’t worry Fidè, it’s all over. I have other plans now.

- How are you? - I’m OK...always with that one there.

How many do I need for it to work?

- The Hunza women would follow the seasonality,

as far as I could tell. But anyway,

the real secret is water!

I failed to understand how wonderfully strong your sister is.

So did I.

Thank you, Director.

I will do my best not to betray your trust.

And it will be nice for you too,

when you get home and your wife smells like

strawberry tree helichrysum.

- Of course, Miss. Meanwhile, you and your mother start production,

then come back and see me with your husband.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Excuse me...

No, thanks.

- Look, even if we don’t screw, you still have to pay me.

Sing this for me.

Madame, forgive the instrusion, but...

I truly can’t understand how such a fine and elegant lady as yourself

can smoke so freely in the middle of the street.

I hope, at least, that you do not do so in front of your children.

Finish inside...

and don’t worry; you’ll never see me again.

- But did you realize that it’s not OK that those two are sleeping here?

Who do you want to buy here?

- How old-fashioned you are, Mom. Nobody is going to care.

So this Belgian has really hurt you...

Your voice has changed, too. You look dumb to me.

And you made such a fool of yourself in the bank.

Even your father never asked for a penny.

And you, selling the family home. You’ve gone mad!

Auntie, I’d love to study here today.

So can I tell him that I like photography?

- So...a comings and goings of men as if nothing!

I’m going to straighten up that bad girl!

You move!

What’s gotten into your head now?

Causing a town scandal, like your aunt?

They have to come and call me at home!

I didn’t do anything bad!

- Oh no? Locked up in a dark room with a man!

- It’s dark because photographs are developed in there, Fidè!

And I want to learn about that!

- That’s a man’s work, and you can’t do it. Do you understand?

What’s not good?

Wanting to do a man’s work, or wanting to be with one?

That’s the way things are here, Bastià.

Who puts these crazy ideas in your head, eh?

I thought we had an agreement, you and I. Or am I wrong?

What is this photography business?

Do you understand?

You can’t set her against me.

She is growing up.

Yeah but she is growing up here,

so she has to grow the way I want her to.

Yes, yes...

You and I didn’t have a choice.

But she does.

Are there really boats that big?

Keep it.

Take it.

- Careful Antonio, she can make your penis fall off.

- And then she’ll use it to make a soup!

- Why don’t you tell him, Fidela, about all the things you can do?

Go away, bad witch!

- You’re the last person I should turn to for help,

but I don’t want another son from that filthy piece of shit.

- Worse for you, as you’re the one who chose to marry him.

- No, you don’t understand. You have to help me!

He’s fucking my sister.

Are you sure?!

If you’re lying, I’ll kill you.

- You’re less than 3 months? - Yes.

- Come back in 2 days. I’ll gather up some parsely by San Giovanni.

- Fidelà! - What now?

- Both of them need to die. - You’re out of your mind, Dumì.

Don’t even think about it. That one is still always your sister.

What if it happened to you?!

- If it happened to me, then I’d be the one they hang.

When you were in Belgium, you didn’t make any San Giovanni water?

- They don’t have the fields that we have here.

- I have to tell you something. - Tell me.

- Do you remember Duminiga, Antonio’s wife?

- Yes. - She asked me for an abortion.

I was thinking that maybe you could take her son,

and raise him as if he was your own.

This way you’re happy, she is, and the child and even me.

- You think I’m going to take another woman’s reject?

I want to give birth to my own son.

Having a son means giving birth to him.

Otherwise you might as well just get a dog.

- Ask yourself if you really want this thing,

or if it’s just a wish of Mom’s and that’s it.

- You are raising Bastiana as if she were your own thing.

Before you think of my devils, think of yours!

May I come in?

Incredible these shepherds...

They’re more than 90 years old, and look at their strength, under the rain!

- Ah, lucky old shepherds with no menstrual problems.

I thought that by inviting you, I would have your complete attention.

- We accepted your invitation because you insisted so much.

- I’ve been following your instructions, but I haven’t seen much progress.

It’s not like I have much time left.

- Chew and swallow...diarrhea for him and abortion for her...

- At this hour, he’s always at work, I swear!

Fidè...did you come to fuck?

- Rest, Dumì. I’ll take care of this animal here.

Piece of shit...

- What’s this stink? - Go on, open your mouth!

- Open your mouth! - What are you giving me?

Mangy dog!

This is because you never ever push sisters against each other!

- We would have been real fine, me and you.

You’re different than the others.

May your cock drop to the ground!

I only want to dress more comfortably.

Stop it and cover yourself!

I’ll cover myself all right...with this.

So now you even dress like a man?

Then you don’t need tits. At least put the strips back on, OK?

- No, not like a man! Like a modern woman, because that’s what I am!

Who cares that you’re a woman?

- Somebody cares. - Nobody cares, Bastià.

- And instead, no! Somebody is interested!

- Evil woman...I should have listened to Mama.

Leave you in the middle of a street.

- Why didn’t you leave me there, then? At least I would have had a life!

Instead, I’m here with you. Just an ignorant!

That’s the answer of people who have nothing in their head.

I was once your age, too...

but sooner or later, you’ll have to learn

that women like us only need dresses to cover themselves.

- Who decided that I have to be like you?

Nobody asked you to come and get me.

- You’re only 15 years old and you think you know everything,

but it doesn’t work like that.

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone, all of you!

I’ll finish it later, Ma. Don’t worry!

Who do I belong to?

- Who do I belong to? - Bastià!

I can’t believe it!

The experiment isn’t working.

I don’t see any change in your urine.

- I spent years fucking every man I see to get pregnant.

Marianna, calm down.

My field of study is longevity, not psychosis.

Your stubborness is senseless!

And speak to me with the same respect that I have for you, please.

- I’m speaking to you the way you deserve.

- Please Fidelà, don’t empty the whole font. I have a mass later.

It’s all yours, Don Marcello.

I don’t have the right head for anything these days.

The more I want to tell her that she’s become pretty, that she’s smart...

that I don’t want her to suffer...

the more I say bad things

that make her cry and think the opposite.

Fidè...you should be happy...

because, you have something inside!

I’m not a bad witch, Don Marcè.

You know when I felt like that?

Only as a boy playing with lizards.

I’d watch them while they’d shed their skin, piece by piece.

Now I feel like that old, dead skin.

All this because I was ugly.

My mom used to say that I could only become a priest.

- Wasn’t this supposed to be my confession?

- Yes, and I was going to tell you that love...

what does it take to express it?

A tiny gesture, a flower, a sweet, a gift...

Have you ever given a sheep to Bastiana?

No, Don Marcè.

You’re the one who gave me a gift.

Bastiana is the most beautiful thing I have.

...and change them as soon as you get there,

otherwise she’ll force you to do it in the middle of the night.

What’s with the face, Bastià?

- If Marianna is already there, then why do I have to go?

Because this is the right thing to do.

- You know she doesn’t want me there anyway.

That’s what you think.

Then you go.

- And who makes the evil eye medicine? You?

That shoe has been sitting in the house for two days already.

Come on, don’t make a fuss and hurry up.

And wipe that look off your face!

- You think she’ll get better? - We’ll see.

Hurry up! Go!

Why are you already back from--

It’s not possible. No respect at all.

They come here expecting to be the island masters.

- You already have these and you didn’t even ask permission.

Permission to enter?

No, permission to take these.

One more here, where you work.

Shall you?

OK, but quickly because I’m busy.

- Come on. - Thank you...thank you.

That child is me.

- Are you this child? - Yes.

Can we...?

Can we take a picture here?

The light is better.

Thank you.

- Here? - Yes.

- Like in the picture. Exactly. - Like her?

Do you miss her?

Yes.

Come...come and sit here.

It’s extraordinary...

You’re the same.

She looks a bit like me?

Ah, the stain...that’s strange.

It’s the same...almost the same.

- Could I hold you? - Like him?

Go away...

Go away!

Fidè!

Fidè! Gavina died!

Are you OK?

Did you understand?

Your mother died.

- It just moved, Fidè! - No.

- It moved! - I didn’t notice.

- Yes, it moved. - Come on Bastià, you’re not ready.

- But how? I’m locked in here learning everything by heart!

See? Helichrysum and Lentiscus, good for scars and prayer purification!

Then after the medicine has worked, I say “God wanted to save you.”

However, in my opinion, people put the evil eye just because they are unhappy.

- But why don’t you just learn the job, eh Bastià?

We don’t get any reward for it.

You even want them to pay you?

You don’t even have to accept a “thank you.” Things are not done for interest.

Fidè...Fidè, come here!

Sorry to bother you, but Maddalena was looking for you.

- Do you mean Marianna? - Yes, Marianna.

She says the Japanese man is in bed with a raging fever.

He looks like he’s possessed by a demon!

- You’re not going anywhere. We’re in mourning.

Yes, for two months now.

This mourning only applies to me?

- I said no! You think I don’t know why you want to come along?

I don’t trust her.

Tie her to the holm oak.

- Bastiana, come here. I need to speak with you. Come here.

Stay here!

- Is he in his room? - Yes, but he’s not listening to anyone.

Have no mercy, at least not this time.

- You’re the one who needs to show him mercy. You brought him here!

- He’s a good-for-nothing. He only made me waste precious time.

Now he even wants to go to the transhumance with the shepherds!

We had an agreement and he couldn’t care less.

Fidela...you know what needs to be done.

- I need a doctor. - A doctor.

I am the only doctor here. Go away.

Save him...

- Yes, I’ll help him...but you must go away.

Away from me, from this island, from Bastiana...go away now!

I don’t want to leave.

- If you don’t leave, I will kill him. Go away.

Go away.

What are you doing to him?

Why don’t you answer me?

- You went abroad to act like a continental woman, Marià.

You learned English, too...

but in the end, you’re like all the other sick animals in this town.

What were you thinking, that he would get you to menstrate at your age?

Or were you expecting the Holy Spirit? Like the Madonna?

- Eh, well as It found her, I really don’t know. Ignore it.

But I suppose that when It came from the sky to save all of us.

I imagine It found her in an appropriate position.

- If you ask me, she had her arms raised up to heaven.

Yes, that could be...

So if It comes down from Heaven...

I should position myself on the altar, which is the highest point of the church.

- Eh no, not the altar. The altar is a sacred place. Out of bounds.

OK...OK I’ll give you 5 minutes.

Just be glad that I don’t have to say mass today.

We’re the chosen ones, Don Marcello.

God has chosen us for this miracle.

Don’t you want everyone to remember you as a saint?

Don’t you want them to forget Don Bachisio forever?

- But Maddalena, did you dream that the Virgin spoke to you?

Did she tell you that you were blessed...in a dream?

I’m the one, Don Marcè.

All right, then.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

May the Holy Spirit be with me.

Is that it?

Come, Holy Spirit...

send her a ray of your light from Heaven.

Warm that which is frozen.

Straighten that...which is skewed.

This is not what you think...

Marianna...

only wanted to get pregnant,

and so she came here.

Did you drink it?

We have to go, Bastià.

I’ll take care of you.

Don’t ask me anything.

Maria, God may save you because you’re full of grace.

You’re the gem of grace and its source.

- Fidela, you are an ancient soul. The soul of water.

God wanted to save you.

It may be OK.

- He was a great soldier and a very good friend of mine.

What’s Bastiana doing? She’s happy, eh?

- Yes. You know when she has an idea in her head, nobody can stop her.

- Who did it... - It doesn’t matter now.

Not even to me?

- There is no danger anymore. Trust me.

CRAZY WHORE

- I want you to see what they did at Marianna’s shop.

It ends badly anyway, Bastià,

when you think only about the judgement of others...

and you never really wonder who you are.

But you already know this.

But you don’t realize...how bad people can really be...

when you let them decide for you.

I’ve always told you that pictures steal away the soul.

But it’s not true.

Instead, they preserve everything.

I told you...we have a big boat!!

- Now you know why I wasn’t strong enough to tell you that.

Because I was afraid you’d give up on love, too.

I know you’ll be a thousand times better than me.

A modern woman in pants to stay more comfortable...

or a witch with the strength of mother earth.

- Thomas? - Yes?

She isn’t coming.

How do you know?

- We did so much to leave... - I just know it, Thomas.

I’m her mother... she doesn’t need to leave.

We know how she is.

It seems like just yesterday...

when I found you all alone playing with some obsidian stones.

You said they were swallows...

and you were upset that they wouldn’t fly away after throwing them in the air.

You were so funny, it was a struggle to hold in the laughter.

There were times I dreamt to see you be a normal girl like the others...

but in your eyes, those eyes of two different colors,

there is light that purifies what is wrong.

You are the soul of fire, my sweet Bastiana.

So please...

Free me.

- May your baby enjoy all of his 9 moons.

Now I know who I am, Mama...

and I free you from this pain.

I’ll miss you.

Help me! Fidela has fallen down!

She has fallen into the sea!

- Bastiana...I feel a new Springtime in my heart,

and I want you to know that we’ll be waiting for you...

all 3 of us.

But I also want you to be what you choose to be...

whatever that might mean and no matter where you are.

- Thank you for teaching me what love is.

She has transformed...

Fidela has transformed into them!

Look!

God wanted to save you.
