1
00:00:56,807 --> 00:00:59,276
ANXIETY
2
00:03:00,007 --> 00:03:01,566
Kill yourself!
3
00:03:49,287 --> 00:03:52,325
So you've come to see your father?
4
00:03:53,087 --> 00:03:54,680
What's left of him!
5
00:03:54,807 --> 00:03:56,605
Now, Dad...
6
00:04:00,887 --> 00:04:02,002
Do you not feel well?
7
00:04:02,087 --> 00:04:05,364
Me? I don't feel... bad or good.
8
00:04:05,527 --> 00:04:08,883
Now, now... That's no way to react.
9
00:04:09,007 --> 00:04:10,486
I can't help it.
10
00:04:21,367 --> 00:04:23,165
What are you doing?
11
00:04:23,967 --> 00:04:26,277
Trying not to forget I'm alive.
12
00:04:29,047 --> 00:04:30,276
That's nothing!
13
00:04:30,407 --> 00:04:34,446
We wouldn't forget you.
How could we?
14
00:04:34,567 --> 00:04:36,080
You already have!
15
00:04:36,207 --> 00:04:37,766
You're in a mood.
16
00:04:38,007 --> 00:04:41,159
You're the most famous man
of your generation.
17
00:04:41,807 --> 00:04:44,003
They'll forget you too.
18
00:04:45,167 --> 00:04:47,602
Even you.
19
00:04:47,887 --> 00:04:51,562
What about the Presidential tribute?
20
00:04:51,687 --> 00:04:54,600
Moribund. Like you will be.
21
00:04:56,367 --> 00:04:59,519
What more could one ask for?
22
00:04:59,647 --> 00:05:03,800
I'm old and satisfied.
I'm feted and praised.
23
00:05:03,927 --> 00:05:07,477
I can enjoy my achievements.
24
00:05:07,727 --> 00:05:12,085
Yes, but now you'll ruin everything,
you'll ruin it all.
25
00:05:17,007 --> 00:05:18,281
Kill yourself!
26
00:05:18,487 --> 00:05:20,398
I've worked myself to death!
27
00:05:20,527 --> 00:05:22,200
Kill yourself!
28
00:05:22,327 --> 00:05:24,000
Come on, Dad!
29
00:05:25,447 --> 00:05:28,246
Your medicine?
Do you want it?
30
00:05:29,367 --> 00:05:31,722
Are your legs swollen?
31
00:05:35,007 --> 00:05:36,236
What is it?
32
00:05:36,927 --> 00:05:38,122
It's their fault!
33
00:05:38,967 --> 00:05:40,287
They take everything!
34
00:05:41,887 --> 00:05:43,207
Everything disappears.
35
00:05:43,367 --> 00:05:45,677
Your desk! Isn't there a key?
36
00:05:46,167 --> 00:05:47,521
They've taken the key.
37
00:05:47,607 --> 00:05:50,520
You lost it.
Get another.
38
00:05:50,727 --> 00:05:52,877
No, there's no point.
39
00:05:53,327 --> 00:05:55,318
I feel more comfortable here.
40
00:05:55,407 --> 00:05:59,685
But Dad! This is not yours!
41
00:06:00,767 --> 00:06:03,407
You're right.
42
00:06:03,887 --> 00:06:05,844
It shouldn't be mine.
43
00:06:06,447 --> 00:06:07,846
I am dead!
44
00:06:08,207 --> 00:06:10,483
Dead, or half-dead.
45
00:06:10,767 --> 00:06:17,400
I've been slaughtered.
Half-slaughtered, rather.
46
00:06:26,607 --> 00:06:28,359
You too.
47
00:06:28,927 --> 00:06:33,125
Even my son only half-sees me.
48
00:06:33,327 --> 00:06:36,240
Come now!
49
00:06:36,967 --> 00:06:38,844
My famous father!
50
00:06:39,367 --> 00:06:43,838
A national treasure!
A universal hero!
51
00:06:44,207 --> 00:06:45,800
Yes!
52
00:06:45,887 --> 00:06:49,198
But you see only my socks
53
00:06:49,367 --> 00:06:51,961
and tell me to get keys made!
54
00:06:52,047 --> 00:06:54,926
So what, Dad.
Don't be cross.
55
00:06:57,047 --> 00:06:59,323
Tell me, son.
Before...
56
00:06:59,727 --> 00:07:03,083
would I have got keys made?
57
00:07:03,687 --> 00:07:05,325
What do you think?
58
00:07:06,407 --> 00:07:10,241
Please, Dad...
Forget it...
59
00:07:11,727 --> 00:07:13,877
Forget it, you say...
60
00:07:19,887 --> 00:07:21,798
That's what he said too.
61
00:07:23,527 --> 00:07:24,722
He remembered,
62
00:07:25,607 --> 00:07:29,202
green, he was,
didn't know where to start.
63
00:07:29,727 --> 00:07:31,798
The paper wanted stories...
64
00:07:33,727 --> 00:07:37,641
For years, no one had come to me,
but him, he thought too.
65
00:07:38,167 --> 00:07:41,717
He called me an old fool,
66
00:07:41,807 --> 00:07:44,526
me, the national hero!
67
00:07:48,807 --> 00:07:52,323
He'd learned
your famous Dad's theorems,
68
00:07:52,407 --> 00:07:54,762
his laws,
69
00:07:54,927 --> 00:07:57,601
his formulas.
70
00:07:57,687 --> 00:08:01,362
- An interview, was it?
- It was ages ago.
71
00:08:05,807 --> 00:08:08,481
I received him well.
72
00:08:09,207 --> 00:08:10,686
I stood up,
73
00:08:10,807 --> 00:08:12,844
offered him a seat.
74
00:08:13,247 --> 00:08:14,806
I kept standing,
75
00:08:16,207 --> 00:08:21,236
and then I invited him
to partake of a cup of tea.
76
00:08:23,367 --> 00:08:24,846
It was cold out,
77
00:08:26,007 --> 00:08:27,566
my nose was dripping,
78
00:08:28,407 --> 00:08:30,478
I blew it on a napikin,
79
00:08:32,407 --> 00:08:33,727
his napkin.
80
00:08:37,367 --> 00:08:38,880
I handed it back.
81
00:08:40,407 --> 00:08:42,478
He wouldn't touch it.
82
00:08:44,247 --> 00:08:46,557
Come on, Dad...
83
00:08:49,207 --> 00:08:51,278
You could've used your own.
84
00:08:51,527 --> 00:08:53,757
There are tons of napkins here.
85
00:08:53,967 --> 00:08:55,640
Listen, you...
86
00:08:55,807 --> 00:08:59,562
You can sell yours, keep two.
87
00:08:59,847 --> 00:09:02,282
Just one, rather.
88
00:09:07,087 --> 00:09:10,398
I tried to apologize.
89
00:09:10,527 --> 00:09:14,122
He said, forget it.
90
00:09:15,927 --> 00:09:18,282
Forget it!
91
00:09:20,647 --> 00:09:22,479
These things happen.
92
00:09:22,607 --> 00:09:26,441
What's a slip to people like us?
93
00:09:26,687 --> 00:09:27,961
Look, Dad!
94
00:09:28,727 --> 00:09:32,322
It shouldn't have happened,
they shouldn't see...
95
00:09:34,847 --> 00:09:37,999
I've been slaughtered,
half-slaughtered...
96
00:09:40,207 --> 00:09:43,165
What about the other half?
97
00:09:43,367 --> 00:09:45,802
It's been put back together,
98
00:09:45,927 --> 00:09:47,725
it's begotten a monster.
99
00:09:48,847 --> 00:09:50,645
Qk, Dad. It'll blow over.
100
00:09:52,887 --> 00:09:55,720
I'm here to be congratulated.
101
00:09:56,247 --> 00:09:58,966
Congratulations on being
half-slaughtered?
102
00:10:00,607 --> 00:10:04,316
Congratulations on failling
to kill the rest of you?
103
00:10:12,607 --> 00:10:18,159
Congratulations on producing
a brand new pathology?
104
00:10:22,207 --> 00:10:23,800
We're doctors, are we not?
105
00:10:23,967 --> 00:10:25,719
We're writers, are we not?
106
00:10:25,887 --> 00:10:27,719
We're famous.
107
00:10:28,207 --> 00:10:32,804
We must go with dignity, mustn't we?
108
00:10:33,087 --> 00:10:36,000
Listen, Dad...
I feel fine.
109
00:10:36,527 --> 00:10:39,485
I'm healthy and wealthy,
I'm famous...
110
00:10:39,807 --> 00:10:41,684
What more could I want?
111
00:10:41,887 --> 00:10:45,198
- To keep it that way.
- No one's preventing that.
112
00:10:45,487 --> 00:10:47,398
Do it yourself.
113
00:10:47,487 --> 00:10:50,081
You mean renounce all I've done?
114
00:10:50,207 --> 00:10:52,926
All I've done for mankind?
115
00:10:53,087 --> 00:10:56,921
You'll enjoy none of it.
116
00:10:57,127 --> 00:10:59,721
You're a thief!
You're stealing an idol.
117
00:10:59,847 --> 00:11:03,886
We obtain timeless glory.
It's worth it.
118
00:11:04,007 --> 00:11:05,884
We obtain it and lose it.
119
00:11:07,727 --> 00:11:09,365
That's bitter.
120
00:11:09,447 --> 00:11:12,326
We'll be remembered for our work.
121
00:11:12,407 --> 00:11:15,160
Generations will know our name.
122
00:11:15,247 --> 00:11:20,367
Yes. And the names of birds,
plants, foodstuffs...
123
00:11:20,607 --> 00:11:22,166
Numbers!
124
00:11:23,287 --> 00:11:26,040
That's not being admired!
125
00:11:27,207 --> 00:11:28,880
It's mere knowlegde!
126
00:11:29,007 --> 00:11:31,647
It happened to others.
127
00:11:31,767 --> 00:11:34,043
If they died soon enough!
128
00:11:40,287 --> 00:11:43,439
You did nothing!
1 did nothing.
129
00:11:43,607 --> 00:11:45,996
We started many things.
130
00:11:46,287 --> 00:11:50,246
Others will come after,
to continue our work.
131
00:11:53,047 --> 00:11:56,517
Fame comes
from impressing the masses.
132
00:11:56,807 --> 00:12:00,323
And what impresses them is death.
133
00:12:02,047 --> 00:12:06,086
A thinker's last task,
last obligation
134
00:12:06,367 --> 00:12:08,005
is to die well?
135
00:12:09,927 --> 00:12:12,487
Some depart at the first hint,
136
00:12:12,647 --> 00:12:14,957
they do not wait to be dismissed.
137
00:12:15,687 --> 00:12:17,280
They gain nothing!
138
00:12:19,767 --> 00:12:24,443
They are still half-slaughtered.
139
00:12:26,887 --> 00:12:29,766
I am very much alive.
140
00:12:29,847 --> 00:12:31,804
Yes.
141
00:12:32,087 --> 00:12:33,998
Hair grows,
142
00:12:34,207 --> 00:12:37,404
nails grow,
143
00:12:37,967 --> 00:12:42,165
it is now the monster is born.
144
00:12:43,287 --> 00:12:44,561
No!
145
00:12:45,727 --> 00:12:47,957
I have my memories.
146
00:12:48,447 --> 00:12:52,884
Conferences, the Academy,
applause, invitations...
147
00:12:53,567 --> 00:12:56,685
I am thrown out
but I need to stop...
148
00:12:57,567 --> 00:13:00,161
It would be worse if you tried.
149
00:13:01,007 --> 00:13:03,203
They know what they're up to.
150
00:13:04,087 --> 00:13:05,998
They are half-baked.
151
00:13:07,007 --> 00:13:11,638
Even memories
escape the monster's lot!
152
00:13:12,327 --> 00:13:16,241
Even memories,
will be stolen from you.
153
00:13:18,007 --> 00:13:21,762
No, Dad. Not them.
154
00:13:26,487 --> 00:13:28,842
Everything, son, everything!
155
00:13:31,487 --> 00:13:33,000
Kill yourself!
156
00:13:39,967 --> 00:13:42,800
Listen, son, over there...
157
00:13:43,367 --> 00:13:46,962
I have there a phial
158
00:13:48,167 --> 00:13:49,566
of cyanide...
159
00:13:49,647 --> 00:13:51,399
Cyanide!
160
00:13:51,607 --> 00:13:53,678
Come with me.
161
00:13:53,807 --> 00:13:56,276
We'll get it.
162
00:13:58,167 --> 00:14:00,204
You'll swallow it...
163
00:14:01,367 --> 00:14:03,802
A favour for your old father.
164
00:14:03,927 --> 00:14:07,921
That's all.
It's not much to ask.
165
00:14:09,007 --> 00:14:13,877
Down it
and remain alive forever.
166
00:14:15,287 --> 00:14:17,085
What do you mean?
167
00:14:18,607 --> 00:14:22,237
No, not that!
168
00:14:26,127 --> 00:14:28,880
Not that!
169
00:14:29,767 --> 00:14:31,326
You're sick!
170
00:14:33,927 --> 00:14:35,520
I want...
171
00:14:36,447 --> 00:14:38,723
I want to live.
172
00:14:39,727 --> 00:14:42,446
No, son.
It's too late.
173
00:14:43,407 --> 00:14:45,842
No one can live with a corpse.
174
00:14:45,927 --> 00:14:48,316
- I'm still useful.
- What?
175
00:14:48,647 --> 00:14:52,117
After my jubilee,
am I to turn incapable?
176
00:14:53,687 --> 00:14:56,725
The master suddenly
turns senile?
177
00:15:02,087 --> 00:15:04,920
No!
I won't let myself die!
178
00:15:05,047 --> 00:15:08,881
I'll convince myself and you,
I'll start over!
179
00:15:10,327 --> 00:15:12,364
That's the trap!
180
00:15:12,527 --> 00:15:14,404
The monster will grow!
181
00:15:16,567 --> 00:15:18,205
Your eyes widen!
182
00:15:20,407 --> 00:15:24,287
Open your eyes wide!
Open your eyes and look at me!
183
00:15:24,807 --> 00:15:26,206
What do you see?
184
00:15:26,407 --> 00:15:28,842
Proof I fell in the trap.
185
00:15:29,967 --> 00:15:31,958
I gave lectures in...
186
00:15:33,607 --> 00:15:36,963
I spoke of...
You know... in...
187
00:15:37,807 --> 00:15:39,844
No, Dad, that was last century!
188
00:15:40,607 --> 00:15:42,757
Of course it was.
189
00:15:44,127 --> 00:15:46,243
Later, in the Bulletin, they said...
190
00:15:46,807 --> 00:15:49,481
My theories were out of date.
191
00:15:50,087 --> 00:15:52,761
Impossible!
I jumped in the ring.
192
00:15:52,887 --> 00:15:56,960
We are men of science,
men of letters!
193
00:15:58,567 --> 00:16:00,524
I must prove everything
all over again.
194
00:16:01,767 --> 00:16:05,044
Who knows, perhaps I shall one day.
195
00:16:09,367 --> 00:16:10,766
Impossible.
196
00:16:10,967 --> 00:16:14,483
There are new laws,
that provoke new laws.
197
00:16:19,807 --> 00:16:21,798
But I shall try!
198
00:16:43,167 --> 00:16:44,601
And the worst was...
199
00:16:45,607 --> 00:16:48,121
when you tried to teach me.
200
00:16:51,487 --> 00:16:53,364
It wasn't those laws, no!
201
00:16:54,807 --> 00:16:57,196
I'm frightened!
202
00:16:58,727 --> 00:17:00,764
What if I'm asked for a talk?
203
00:17:01,807 --> 00:17:04,560
Think! What if they ask me?
204
00:17:04,687 --> 00:17:06,246
Calm down!
205
00:17:06,367 --> 00:17:08,722
Of course they could,
you're still my famous Dad!
206
00:17:09,527 --> 00:17:11,962
Just say your doctor won't allow it.
207
00:17:12,087 --> 00:17:14,237
That's it!
208
00:17:16,527 --> 00:17:17,926
But I am a doctor!
209
00:17:18,327 --> 00:17:19,761
Myself,
210
00:17:20,167 --> 00:17:22,727
I'll write myself a note!
211
00:17:23,527 --> 00:17:27,122
I'll announce that the monster
212
00:17:27,727 --> 00:17:31,004
does not receive
scholarly visitors,
213
00:17:31,207 --> 00:17:34,882
nor even thank his audience!
214
00:17:35,007 --> 00:17:38,204
Of course you won't!
Calm down!
215
00:17:39,247 --> 00:17:43,241
You're hurting!
I'm concerned!
216
00:17:44,807 --> 00:17:48,038
You can't...
one cannot...
217
00:17:48,207 --> 00:17:51,040
keep one's other half intact,
till the end.
218
00:17:51,207 --> 00:17:55,166
Intact, no.
Neither of one's halves.
219
00:17:56,607 --> 00:17:57,927
Once,
220
00:17:58,407 --> 00:18:02,162
a doctor advised me
always to keep a pot...
221
00:18:09,967 --> 00:18:11,321
From then,
222
00:18:12,727 --> 00:18:15,116
I knew my problem...
223
00:18:22,967 --> 00:18:24,765
I wanted to show you...
224
00:18:27,567 --> 00:18:28,841
I can't find it.
225
00:18:30,407 --> 00:18:34,799
My piece hasn't come out.
226
00:18:37,007 --> 00:18:38,281
I'd like you to see...
227
00:18:39,327 --> 00:18:42,240
Have you seen Amzer yet?
228
00:18:42,327 --> 00:18:44,318
Ramze, Dad!
229
00:18:45,047 --> 00:18:46,958
Of course.
230
00:18:47,207 --> 00:18:48,527
That's it!
231
00:18:52,207 --> 00:18:53,356
Here...
232
00:18:54,007 --> 00:18:55,122
No...
233
00:18:55,887 --> 00:18:58,800
Don't bother.
234
00:18:58,927 --> 00:19:00,281
Listen...
235
00:19:00,807 --> 00:19:04,721
You're wrong,
you say we're growing old.
236
00:19:05,007 --> 00:19:08,716
But the elderly, like children,
have a place.
237
00:19:08,847 --> 00:19:10,838
They are respected!
238
00:19:11,687 --> 00:19:13,166
See!
239
00:19:14,407 --> 00:19:18,082
You're half-dead already!
Charity!
240
00:19:18,247 --> 00:19:20,557
- I don't mean that!
- You said it though.
241
00:19:21,327 --> 00:19:23,318
Come, let's get it.
242
00:19:23,487 --> 00:19:26,605
- What? The journal?
- No.
243
00:19:26,887 --> 00:19:28,560
The cyanide!
244
00:19:29,767 --> 00:19:31,405
It must be somewhere...
245
00:19:32,927 --> 00:19:34,998
I've kept it for you for ages.
246
00:19:35,607 --> 00:19:37,439
Let me try to remember...
247
00:19:38,647 --> 00:19:40,524
And the journal too.
248
00:19:41,487 --> 00:19:45,720
I've published my discovery!
249
00:19:48,447 --> 00:19:51,246
When I realized the monster
250
00:19:51,487 --> 00:19:53,444
was a coward,
251
00:19:54,447 --> 00:19:56,961
I realized I could give it to you.
252
00:19:57,447 --> 00:20:01,122
- Give me what? The phial?
- Yes!
253
00:20:03,447 --> 00:20:05,836
Before you divide in two!
254
00:20:06,567 --> 00:20:08,126
It's a worhty inheritance,
255
00:20:08,327 --> 00:20:11,160
worth, millions!
Millions of years!
256
00:20:11,327 --> 00:20:13,398
It means immortality!
257
00:20:13,527 --> 00:20:16,360
Not at that price!
258
00:20:24,927 --> 00:20:27,965
Things are worse than I thought.
259
00:20:28,647 --> 00:20:30,797
The process has begun.
260
00:20:32,767 --> 00:20:34,838
Read my article.
261
00:20:35,687 --> 00:20:39,043
Come help me find it.
262
00:20:39,567 --> 00:20:40,966
Quick! Quick!
263
00:20:41,367 --> 00:20:45,156
We'll find it in my office.
Quick! Quick!
264
00:20:45,927 --> 00:20:48,680
Calm down,
you're SO nervous.
265
00:20:48,807 --> 00:20:50,957
What's that you're saying?
266
00:20:51,127 --> 00:20:52,800
Quick, quick!
267
00:20:54,927 --> 00:20:56,440
Help me find it!
268
00:20:57,167 --> 00:20:58,760
Stop it!
269
00:21:03,487 --> 00:21:05,922
You've not always been a monster.
270
00:21:06,487 --> 00:21:08,398
You said it,
you're an old man,
271
00:21:09,967 --> 00:21:11,526
you're senile.
272
00:21:12,527 --> 00:21:14,165
It's been twenty years!
273
00:21:14,527 --> 00:21:16,882
More than twenty years,
a whole generation!
274
00:21:30,167 --> 00:21:32,283
I can still do it.
275
00:21:33,087 --> 00:21:34,282
What?
276
00:21:36,367 --> 00:21:37,960
What you said.
277
00:21:38,727 --> 00:21:41,037
I can do everything.
278
00:21:42,647 --> 00:21:46,766
Golf, travel, dinners...
279
00:21:47,007 --> 00:21:50,363
Even...
280
00:21:50,727 --> 00:21:53,719
- Look at women.
- Yes, even that.
281
00:21:53,847 --> 00:21:56,157
And only that!
282
00:21:56,287 --> 00:21:57,766
Not only that!
283
00:21:57,887 --> 00:22:01,596
Unlike you, I don't gaze
at photos of an old flame,
284
00:22:01,687 --> 00:22:05,726
our pupil,
staring at us from the piano lid.
285
00:22:06,647 --> 00:22:08,638
I want to live.
286
00:22:09,327 --> 00:22:11,557
Live and be famous!
There's time yet.
287
00:22:11,647 --> 00:22:15,083
Before no, but now
my time is my own.
288
00:22:17,407 --> 00:22:21,446
I'm not old,
not a little old man.
289
00:22:22,367 --> 00:22:24,358
I'll travel.
290
00:22:25,367 --> 00:22:28,041
Asia, the dark continent...
291
00:22:29,367 --> 00:22:34,646
Paris, the theatre...
a box with a beautiful woman.
292
00:22:34,767 --> 00:22:36,087
- Then what?
- Then?
293
00:22:36,247 --> 00:22:38,841
- Yes, then what?
- I'll do what all young people do.
294
00:22:39,167 --> 00:22:41,443
So say you.
295
00:22:42,767 --> 00:22:44,963
- Why is your moustache dyed?
- My moustache?
296
00:22:45,607 --> 00:22:50,044
Remember what they said about me?
297
00:22:50,847 --> 00:22:55,637
- What?
- I could win the pentathlon.
298
00:23:00,087 --> 00:23:02,522
What about Marta? Little Marta?
299
00:23:02,687 --> 00:23:10,321
Remember her? Of course!
You keep her picture on the piano.
300
00:23:10,967 --> 00:23:12,605
Your star!
301
00:23:13,247 --> 00:23:15,761
She knew us in our glory days.
302
00:23:16,767 --> 00:23:20,078
The prettiest girl I've ever known.
303
00:23:22,207 --> 00:23:23,766
What a figure!
304
00:23:24,607 --> 00:23:25,961
I'll call her.
305
00:23:26,087 --> 00:23:27,805
No, no, no!
306
00:23:29,287 --> 00:23:30,516
Wait!
307
00:23:31,487 --> 00:23:35,276
I've found neither the article
nor the phial.
308
00:23:35,607 --> 00:23:38,645
We'll have a picnic, the three of us.
309
00:25:00,007 --> 00:25:01,964
No, no!
310
00:25:05,567 --> 00:25:06,966
What have I done?
311
00:25:09,527 --> 00:25:12,326
I'm not cross with you.
312
00:25:13,287 --> 00:25:14,721
It's my son.
313
00:25:15,287 --> 00:25:18,279
He's fooling me and himself.
314
00:25:22,007 --> 00:25:23,327
We're old,
315
00:25:24,007 --> 00:25:26,681
half what we were.
316
00:25:27,327 --> 00:25:28,726
But there's time yet,
317
00:25:28,927 --> 00:25:31,203
if he does what he should,
318
00:25:31,327 --> 00:25:33,967
if he goes at the height of his glory.
319
00:25:34,527 --> 00:25:37,041
You'll be remembered too,
320
00:25:37,327 --> 00:25:40,365
for having accompained
our surviving halves.
321
00:25:41,767 --> 00:25:45,806
Or else, he's older than I thought.
322
00:25:45,927 --> 00:25:47,964
No...
Age doesn't count.
323
00:25:49,287 --> 00:25:52,040
You're so adorable,
so sweet.
324
00:25:52,647 --> 00:25:56,038
Don't get carried away!
Calm down.
325
00:25:56,887 --> 00:25:58,400
I am calm.
326
00:25:58,847 --> 00:26:00,997
That is all age allows us.
327
00:26:01,087 --> 00:26:03,476
Calm! Yes. Calm!
328
00:26:04,287 --> 00:26:06,642
It takes everything else.
329
00:26:08,687 --> 00:26:10,405
We've discussed all that.
330
00:26:10,567 --> 00:26:13,241
You're obsessed!
331
00:26:14,767 --> 00:26:19,364
I don't know what's happening,
but don't get upset!
332
00:26:19,527 --> 00:26:21,245
Dad hates old age,
333
00:26:21,447 --> 00:26:25,327
he says we have to end it all,
a magnificent ending! In glory!
334
00:26:26,527 --> 00:26:28,803
What a pitty!
You're both lovely,
335
00:26:29,407 --> 00:26:31,683
such fun!
336
00:26:31,967 --> 00:26:34,641
- Growing old is natural.
- Of course it is.
337
00:26:34,807 --> 00:26:37,765
- I feel fine!
- Do you belive that?
338
00:26:38,047 --> 00:26:39,845
Let's not discuss it.
339
00:26:40,127 --> 00:26:44,837
You won't convince me,
it's puerile, it's senile!
340
00:26:44,967 --> 00:26:48,597
You're doing the convincing.
I am not senile.
341
00:26:48,967 --> 00:26:50,878
See! He doesn't know it!
342
00:26:51,167 --> 00:26:54,205
He thinks he's young! A boy!
343
00:26:54,287 --> 00:26:55,641
Don't be cruel.
344
00:26:56,247 --> 00:26:58,477
He's in fine form.
345
00:27:01,367 --> 00:27:02,880
I'm so fond of him.
346
00:27:03,687 --> 00:27:07,043
You are a delight.
347
00:27:08,047 --> 00:27:11,403
Women like you change a man's life.
348
00:27:13,407 --> 00:27:16,206
Is that a compliment? Or a reproach?
349
00:27:17,087 --> 00:27:18,760
Both.
350
00:27:20,247 --> 00:27:23,922
You remind me of my son's mother.
351
00:27:25,607 --> 00:27:27,359
She'd say the same thing.
352
00:27:28,287 --> 00:27:31,757
Your love is selfish,
like a mother's love.
353
00:27:32,047 --> 00:27:33,640
Or a mistress.
354
00:27:33,847 --> 00:27:36,760
You don't see the glory of imortality.
355
00:27:39,407 --> 00:27:42,684
What better glory
than this force of nature,
356
00:27:44,207 --> 00:27:46,847
a nice sunny day like today,
357
00:27:47,527 --> 00:27:51,122
with two fascinating men?
358
00:27:53,327 --> 00:27:54,556
Enough!
359
00:27:56,887 --> 00:27:59,356
Let's go home.
360
00:28:06,887 --> 00:28:09,720
Do you believe women
will keep you young?
361
00:28:22,927 --> 00:28:24,565
That's an illusion.
362
00:28:27,607 --> 00:28:30,167
You're too old for them.
363
00:28:31,807 --> 00:28:34,401
Please don't insist.
364
00:28:42,007 --> 00:28:46,683
Please don't insist,
I'm fine, I enjoy life.
365
00:28:46,807 --> 00:28:48,241
I want to live!
366
00:28:55,127 --> 00:28:59,041
I ask only one thing,
let's not discuss it.
367
00:29:03,287 --> 00:29:04,800
Don't go yet.
368
00:29:06,887 --> 00:29:08,286
Wait a while.
369
00:29:11,367 --> 00:29:12,801
Just a moment.
370
00:29:13,247 --> 00:29:14,840
Do you need me?
371
00:29:16,647 --> 00:29:19,799
- Do me a favour?
- What?
372
00:29:21,247 --> 00:29:23,124
They're so careless.
373
00:29:23,207 --> 00:29:26,882
I was just going,
say what you want me to do.
374
00:29:28,287 --> 00:29:31,166
See those curtains...
375
00:29:32,527 --> 00:29:34,200
What about them?
376
00:29:36,127 --> 00:29:38,198
Not those...
377
00:29:39,167 --> 00:29:41,886
There, in the study...
378
00:29:42,847 --> 00:29:45,282
Come and look.
379
00:29:54,207 --> 00:29:56,118
See, there...
380
00:29:57,727 --> 00:30:01,277
I can't help it,
it makes me sick.
381
00:30:01,447 --> 00:30:04,326
- They're crooked.
- Crooked?
382
00:30:04,447 --> 00:30:06,802
Up there, the curtain...
Don't you see?
383
00:30:06,927 --> 00:30:09,157
- Fetch the maids.
- No!
384
00:30:09,327 --> 00:30:11,796
- Maids! No!
- Calm down!
385
00:30:13,127 --> 00:30:17,837
I'm too old to climb on a chair
386
00:30:18,007 --> 00:30:21,716
and fix the pelmet.
Help me.
387
00:30:21,887 --> 00:30:23,798
- Now?
- Yes, now.
388
00:30:24,367 --> 00:30:28,725
If you insist.
Right now, I've got to go.
389
00:30:28,887 --> 00:30:30,321
All right.
390
00:31:41,207 --> 00:31:44,438
Immortal! Immortal!
391
00:31:48,887 --> 00:31:51,447
Yes, now he's immortal.
392
00:31:55,007 --> 00:31:57,760
Anyway, there's no danger.
393
00:31:58,687 --> 00:32:01,805
Immortality never dies.
394
00:32:01,967 --> 00:32:04,481
So... I didn't kill him.
395
00:32:07,927 --> 00:32:09,725
That got them!
396
00:32:15,807 --> 00:32:18,367
They wanted a monster,
397
00:32:18,727 --> 00:32:21,685
arthritis annihilating everything.
398
00:32:21,967 --> 00:32:25,119
Years of work.
399
00:32:25,567 --> 00:32:30,323
No, my son.
Your famous Dad was by your side.
400
00:32:30,767 --> 00:32:33,998
I've hidden you, my son.
401
00:32:37,967 --> 00:32:42,086
They won't see your mouth twist,
402
00:32:42,407 --> 00:32:44,762
your eye close...
403
00:32:45,127 --> 00:32:47,721
You won't stink of piss.
404
00:32:56,407 --> 00:32:57,920
And me?
405
00:33:03,727 --> 00:33:04,797
And me?
406
00:33:06,847 --> 00:33:08,599
My other half?
407
00:33:10,087 --> 00:33:14,604
It must join the other...
408
00:33:15,287 --> 00:33:19,804
Wait, my son, wait...
409
00:33:21,007 --> 00:33:23,442
Your famous Dad is coming.
410
00:34:14,847 --> 00:34:17,646
We've seen how death brings
immortality.
411
00:34:17,927 --> 00:34:21,841
True,
it brings eternity
412
00:34:25,247 --> 00:34:27,204
but women give us life.
413
00:34:31,007 --> 00:34:32,236
I agree!
414
00:34:32,967 --> 00:34:36,437
She's beautiful,
strange, though...
415
00:34:39,847 --> 00:34:41,645
The one hiding is stranger.
416
00:34:42,807 --> 00:34:44,002
You're right!
417
00:34:45,007 --> 00:34:46,281
Who are they?
418
00:34:47,887 --> 00:34:49,798
Courtesans probably.
419
00:34:51,527 --> 00:34:53,165
Quick, they're going.
420
00:35:11,967 --> 00:35:13,719
I could lose my head over you.
421
00:35:15,647 --> 00:35:17,524
Imbecile!
422
00:35:20,887 --> 00:35:22,958
You deserved that.
423
00:35:28,047 --> 00:35:33,565
Pain is a harsh mistress
that needs beating.
424
00:35:34,727 --> 00:35:38,561
In silence are born
425
00:35:40,127 --> 00:35:45,884
the sense required
for a life of mystery.
426
00:35:46,327 --> 00:35:48,682
You were mad not to come.
427
00:35:55,367 --> 00:35:58,200
A friend introduced both of them.
428
00:36:02,447 --> 00:36:03,960
As you weren't there,
429
00:36:04,807 --> 00:36:07,276
he introduced your to the Count,
a dullard,
430
00:36:07,367 --> 00:36:09,244
who is not without style.
431
00:36:13,287 --> 00:36:15,927
Yours, the Count's,
432
00:36:16,887 --> 00:36:19,640
is called Suzanne,
or Suzy to her friends.
433
00:36:23,487 --> 00:36:26,161
The other, mine,
434
00:36:26,527 --> 00:36:28,245
is Gaby d'Anjou.
435
00:36:29,767 --> 00:36:31,758
She's perfect.
Did you see her?
436
00:36:33,527 --> 00:36:35,165
Her figure is Grecian.
437
00:36:37,207 --> 00:36:40,040
It seems nowadays
as though you're never in Oporto!
438
00:36:42,727 --> 00:36:44,161
Why didn't you come?
439
00:36:44,567 --> 00:36:47,844
I was a fool,
saying that to her.
440
00:36:48,567 --> 00:36:51,605
I find life as foolish as I am,
I stay in.
441
00:36:52,087 --> 00:36:55,603
You were foolish
to listen to her whispering.
442
00:36:55,767 --> 00:36:58,407
- Prostitutes?
- Yes.
443
00:37:01,767 --> 00:37:03,280
But Suzy is clever.
444
00:37:03,767 --> 00:37:06,077
She took the Count
for want of anything better.
445
00:37:06,847 --> 00:37:08,246
And because...
446
00:37:09,087 --> 00:37:10,885
Amieiro, the tailor,
447
00:37:11,647 --> 00:37:13,524
dresses the Count well.
448
00:37:16,407 --> 00:37:18,398
I'm dying to go to Gaby's.
449
00:37:24,407 --> 00:37:27,877
We lunched alone in her room.
450
00:37:29,647 --> 00:37:31,365
I don't know that I ate.
451
00:37:33,687 --> 00:37:36,247
I cupped my hands
and held them
452
00:37:36,647 --> 00:37:38,604
to her slender feet,
453
00:37:39,327 --> 00:37:41,967
to feel them tense
454
00:37:42,847 --> 00:37:46,078
and rustle silk
like dead leaves...
455
00:37:50,687 --> 00:37:52,644
I'll call for you later.
456
00:37:54,367 --> 00:37:57,678
It'll be quick and easy.
I'll introduce Suzanne.
457
00:37:58,247 --> 00:38:01,239
The Count is crude,
you're clever...
458
00:38:02,647 --> 00:38:04,957
she's clever...
459
00:38:24,927 --> 00:38:27,646
- Like that, or stronger?
- Perfect, Suzy!
460
00:39:10,527 --> 00:39:11,926
Poor Suzy...
461
00:39:16,407 --> 00:39:18,364
Stony, skipping,
462
00:39:19,047 --> 00:39:21,687
they walk the evening dark,
463
00:39:22,767 --> 00:39:24,360
on the pavements...
464
00:39:24,887 --> 00:39:26,878
on the pavements...
465
00:39:37,087 --> 00:39:39,317
Know what? This...
466
00:39:40,567 --> 00:39:42,160
is a small thing.
467
00:39:42,927 --> 00:39:44,361
A small thing?
468
00:39:44,487 --> 00:39:47,878
Yes, a small thing.
469
00:39:48,167 --> 00:39:51,762
The roses...
470
00:39:52,687 --> 00:39:54,644
you brought!
471
00:40:13,007 --> 00:40:16,079
I'll get a friend, a writer,
to write about you.
472
00:40:21,287 --> 00:40:22,607
Why?
473
00:40:23,087 --> 00:40:24,760
The truth is hard to credit
474
00:40:25,167 --> 00:40:27,317
and you are deliciously unlikely.
475
00:41:34,607 --> 00:41:36,803
If Eca de Queiroz was alive
476
00:41:37,847 --> 00:41:41,602
I'd introduce Suzy.
I swear I would.
477
00:41:42,327 --> 00:41:46,525
He'd make something tremendous
of her, human, fascinating.
478
00:41:46,927 --> 00:41:47,962
Ega?
479
00:41:48,527 --> 00:41:51,167
Don't you think, how shall I say...?
480
00:41:51,327 --> 00:41:53,637
It'd be superficial?
481
00:41:54,807 --> 00:41:56,366
Worldly and limited.
482
00:41:56,887 --> 00:41:59,356
It's you who knows,
who feels...
483
00:42:00,727 --> 00:42:04,641
How can I embalm
Suzy's spirit?
484
00:42:05,207 --> 00:42:08,723
Poor me, I have no wit.
485
00:42:09,887 --> 00:42:11,321
I've spoken to Fialho.
486
00:42:11,527 --> 00:42:13,757
He's seen gestures
that are epigrams.
487
00:42:14,007 --> 00:42:17,238
He's heard arguments
worth parables.
488
00:42:17,967 --> 00:42:22,086
- Is he not capable?
- I don't know. He refused.
489
00:42:23,087 --> 00:42:25,044
I cannot lose her.
490
00:42:26,087 --> 00:42:28,920
I feel on my skin
the gentle wave,
491
00:42:29,247 --> 00:42:31,045
of her hair's caress,
492
00:42:31,367 --> 00:42:35,247
the living touch of her fingers
like exciting tongues.
493
00:42:58,087 --> 00:43:00,806
- Is that the Count?
- Yes, that's him!
494
00:43:24,167 --> 00:43:27,558
- And Gaby?
- The one with the hair.
495
00:43:31,407 --> 00:43:32,920
I don't know who that is.
496
00:43:33,247 --> 00:43:35,716
- Are you not interested?
- No.
497
00:43:37,327 --> 00:43:40,683
I take Gaby as she is.
A pro.
498
00:43:41,047 --> 00:43:42,446
Like Suzy.
499
00:43:46,767 --> 00:43:48,678
What is she to you?
500
00:43:49,087 --> 00:43:52,443
For me, no,
for posterity.
501
00:43:54,887 --> 00:43:59,085
They contain condensed stoicism,
a heroic strain
502
00:43:59,647 --> 00:44:03,163
that sits uneasily
with their life as courtesans.
503
00:44:03,447 --> 00:44:05,518
They are the spiritual heirs
of Marcus Aurelius.
504
00:44:06,687 --> 00:44:08,724
Nobble courtesans?
505
00:44:10,007 --> 00:44:11,361
You're delirious!
506
00:44:11,607 --> 00:44:12,927
Hardly surprising!
507
00:44:13,207 --> 00:44:14,845
Gaby is sensuous,
508
00:44:15,287 --> 00:44:17,597
but you hardly speak of her.
509
00:44:17,807 --> 00:44:21,357
Gaby knows the tricks of love.
510
00:44:22,247 --> 00:44:24,045
She is a pro in bed.
511
00:44:25,327 --> 00:44:26,965
What more to ask?
512
00:44:28,047 --> 00:44:30,004
A life of fornication.
513
00:44:32,327 --> 00:44:35,524
For a woman, to survive in this world,
is nearly always prostitution.
514
00:44:36,407 --> 00:44:39,240
At first, a thirst for love
illuminates,
515
00:44:39,447 --> 00:44:43,077
then, in love, one finds one's lover
516
00:44:43,887 --> 00:44:45,639
one's moral idol
is a guttersnipe,
517
00:44:47,047 --> 00:44:50,802
one's beloved, a sordid male,
neither fine nor tender,
518
00:44:51,687 --> 00:44:55,442
but hurtful and fierce
and legalistic to boot.
519
00:44:56,647 --> 00:44:57,967
Jealousy!
520
00:44:59,367 --> 00:45:01,040
You've grown jealous!
521
00:45:02,287 --> 00:45:03,641
And I have too.
522
00:45:05,447 --> 00:45:07,199
If we go on like this...
523
00:45:07,407 --> 00:45:09,318
We'll say someting foolish.
524
00:45:11,327 --> 00:45:12,761
Yes.
525
00:45:27,567 --> 00:45:30,286
It would be easy
to go against our nature
526
00:45:30,447 --> 00:45:33,280
to find signs of prostitution
in our gestures,
527
00:45:33,367 --> 00:45:35,199
our way of walking,
of dressing.
528
00:45:35,407 --> 00:45:39,037
In every social class,
because no man is an island,
529
00:45:39,367 --> 00:45:41,438
people crave respect...
530
00:45:45,847 --> 00:45:47,246
They look to public opinion.
531
00:45:47,327 --> 00:45:49,443
We live with prejudice,
532
00:45:49,647 --> 00:45:52,639
which deformes,
dries, annihilates...
533
00:45:52,767 --> 00:45:56,397
It's like circus troupes
stealing children...
534
00:46:06,327 --> 00:46:07,522
Yes, that's it,
535
00:46:07,687 --> 00:46:11,043
they are trained to perform,
as we are to live in society.
536
00:47:24,047 --> 00:47:25,526
You know...
537
00:47:27,007 --> 00:47:28,759
I don't like discussing myself.
538
00:47:31,447 --> 00:47:32,926
I never complain.
539
00:47:34,767 --> 00:47:36,360
If I talk now,
540
00:47:37,007 --> 00:47:38,918
it is to praise my life.
541
00:47:41,207 --> 00:47:42,766
Midst the horror,
542
00:47:43,367 --> 00:47:46,007
I enjoy days of voluptuousness,
543
00:47:48,447 --> 00:47:50,165
beyond description.
544
00:48:04,007 --> 00:48:06,203
I start feeling unwell,
545
00:48:07,607 --> 00:48:09,245
exasperated,
546
00:48:10,327 --> 00:48:12,318
fed up...
547
00:48:14,087 --> 00:48:15,600
Then they arrive,
548
00:48:15,847 --> 00:48:18,077
I almost die of disgust.
549
00:48:18,887 --> 00:48:20,400
One comes,
550
00:48:21,207 --> 00:48:23,084
then many...
551
00:48:24,167 --> 00:48:25,760
They all come...
552
00:48:27,407 --> 00:48:28,920
Then...
553
00:48:29,447 --> 00:48:31,085
I don't know how,
554
00:48:31,407 --> 00:48:35,446
a feeling of well-being comes,
unbelievable enjoyment.
555
00:48:37,287 --> 00:48:39,642
I like them to humiliate me.
556
00:48:41,287 --> 00:48:44,166
I feel born to that.
557
00:48:45,967 --> 00:48:48,277
I suffer my enjoyment
558
00:48:49,847 --> 00:48:52,407
as though there was no better fate.
559
00:48:54,367 --> 00:48:55,960
And so I enjoy...
560
00:48:57,327 --> 00:48:59,000
I enjoy...
561
00:49:05,007 --> 00:49:08,318
Like a Christian in the amphitheatre.
562
00:49:14,807 --> 00:49:16,161
Yes...
563
00:49:17,127 --> 00:49:19,721
The pleasure of sacrifice.
564
00:49:23,047 --> 00:49:24,685
But who cares!
565
00:49:26,007 --> 00:49:27,964
It is a small thing.
566
00:49:44,007 --> 00:49:47,318
I've known ordinary prostitutes...
567
00:49:48,447 --> 00:49:52,918
They may find it hard to adapt,
but they become beasts.
568
00:49:54,047 --> 00:49:56,880
They sell kisses
like grocers sell rice,
569
00:49:57,367 --> 00:49:58,960
lawyers eloquence
570
00:49:59,327 --> 00:50:01,318
and diplomats a colony.
571
00:50:03,127 --> 00:50:04,686
You, Suzy, are different.
572
00:50:05,607 --> 00:50:08,679
You are made of lava,
you are a person.
573
00:50:10,007 --> 00:50:11,839
Prostitute or wife,
574
00:50:12,607 --> 00:50:14,484
you're destined for unhappiness.
575
00:50:15,007 --> 00:50:16,805
You'll always be you,
576
00:50:17,847 --> 00:50:19,724
always alone.
577
00:50:30,927 --> 00:50:32,565
Suzy, darling!
578
00:50:45,607 --> 00:50:47,166
Poor Suzy!
579
00:50:48,887 --> 00:50:50,321
Apollonian soul!
580
00:50:51,247 --> 00:50:54,365
Buffeted by historically famous louts!
581
00:50:55,087 --> 00:50:57,124
You have known nights of bestial orgy.
582
00:51:00,167 --> 00:51:02,602
In the morning,
with goose pimples you awake
583
00:51:03,007 --> 00:51:05,157
to see a customer's visage.
584
00:51:21,727 --> 00:51:23,126
Poor Suzy!
585
00:51:25,687 --> 00:51:28,076
Don't say "Poor Suzy!"
586
00:51:29,327 --> 00:51:31,238
I have wealthy lovers,
587
00:51:31,607 --> 00:51:33,200
motor-cars,
588
00:51:33,407 --> 00:51:35,603
dresses by the best seamstresses,
589
00:51:36,847 --> 00:51:38,440
and jewels.
590
00:51:40,287 --> 00:51:42,244
All I ever wanted!
591
00:51:51,527 --> 00:51:53,723
And men... lots of them,
592
00:51:53,887 --> 00:51:55,878
who worship you,
like a goddess!
593
00:51:56,927 --> 00:51:58,122
Yes!
594
00:51:58,687 --> 00:52:00,166
Many!
595
00:52:00,807 --> 00:52:02,400
Who adore you!
596
00:52:02,967 --> 00:52:04,640
Jealous?
597
00:52:11,367 --> 00:52:12,801
Who adore me, yes!
598
00:52:13,927 --> 00:52:16,077
What more could I have enjoyed?
599
00:52:17,447 --> 00:52:18,801
I've had it all!
600
00:52:20,567 --> 00:52:23,480
Everything...
Except happiness.
601
00:52:25,407 --> 00:52:27,080
Happiness?
602
00:52:39,647 --> 00:52:40,967
No,
603
00:52:42,247 --> 00:52:43,840
I've not had that.
604
00:52:48,807 --> 00:52:51,037
On winter nights, sometimes,
605
00:52:53,327 --> 00:52:55,603
alone with my thoughts,
606
00:52:56,087 --> 00:52:58,044
by the fireside,
607
00:53:00,207 --> 00:53:02,198
I've heard the wood crackel,
608
00:53:03,967 --> 00:53:06,607
and it comforts my lost soul.
609
00:53:08,687 --> 00:53:10,485
The warmth of a fire,
610
00:53:11,367 --> 00:53:13,597
caressing my chilly flesh
611
00:53:17,047 --> 00:53:21,359
and the play of red and blue flames
612
00:53:23,487 --> 00:53:26,320
captivating my fallen eyes...
613
00:53:30,127 --> 00:53:31,845
Happiness...
614
00:53:33,927 --> 00:53:35,964
is a small thing.
615
00:55:09,287 --> 00:55:13,167
Gaby, Suzy and the others
are over there.
616
00:55:14,087 --> 00:55:16,158
I've seen them.
617
00:55:18,807 --> 00:55:20,127
Again!
618
00:55:21,767 --> 00:55:23,087
Let me have a drink!
619
00:55:23,487 --> 00:55:25,364
All right, it's your life.
620
00:55:35,207 --> 00:55:39,678
Funny, women don't mind staring at men
621
00:55:39,887 --> 00:55:44,404
when they're with a brother,
a husband or someone.
622
00:55:45,767 --> 00:55:47,963
Alone, they dare not.
623
00:55:50,327 --> 00:55:51,647
They feel vulnerable.
624
00:55:54,887 --> 00:55:57,276
Look.
Look at her.
625
00:56:01,847 --> 00:56:03,520
She's pretending...
626
00:56:13,567 --> 00:56:16,320
Playing innocent, like the cupids.
627
00:56:16,647 --> 00:56:18,001
Yes...
628
00:56:20,327 --> 00:56:22,603
Prostitutes are different.
629
00:56:23,967 --> 00:56:27,881
They are demure when accompanied
630
00:56:28,047 --> 00:56:30,243
and provocative if alone.
631
00:56:30,807 --> 00:56:32,844
Such are the rules of the profession.
632
00:56:39,687 --> 00:56:41,166
Look, they're off.
633
00:56:43,247 --> 00:56:46,717
Women, wine, gambling...
634
00:56:49,047 --> 00:56:52,005
That's what I call life.
635
00:56:59,167 --> 00:57:00,521
And money!
636
00:57:01,607 --> 00:57:03,041
Money!
637
00:57:04,767 --> 00:57:06,280
Tons of money!
638
00:57:07,647 --> 00:57:11,117
Believe me, my dear Count,
that is what they cherish most.
639
00:57:11,327 --> 00:57:14,046
Not only, not only that.
640
00:57:14,247 --> 00:57:15,965
Right, my darling?
641
00:57:16,167 --> 00:57:17,965
Tenderness...
642
00:57:18,447 --> 00:57:22,566
A great deal of tenderness,
right, my love?
643
00:57:22,847 --> 00:57:25,407
Game done. No more bets.
644
00:57:39,167 --> 00:57:41,317
Two... black.
645
00:58:25,527 --> 00:58:27,040
No one sees her like you do.
646
00:58:28,727 --> 00:58:30,479
I see Suzy as she is.
647
00:58:31,007 --> 00:58:32,680
A philosophy.
648
00:58:32,927 --> 00:58:34,645
Suzy's philosophy!
649
00:58:35,607 --> 00:58:36,961
A posthumous book!
650
00:58:38,127 --> 00:58:40,004
No one sees
beyond the appearence of her,
651
00:58:40,167 --> 00:58:44,638
nor as you have made her,
a plaster mask silvered by moonlight,
652
00:58:45,007 --> 00:58:48,125
a radiant masterpiece.
653
00:58:49,127 --> 00:58:51,880
Game done. No more bets.
654
00:59:04,847 --> 00:59:06,838
Seventeen, black.
655
00:59:10,887 --> 00:59:12,525
Congratulations, darling.
656
00:59:13,847 --> 00:59:17,317
She stomachs these idiots
so stoically,
657
00:59:17,447 --> 00:59:19,165
she is a heroine.
658
00:59:19,767 --> 00:59:22,361
Not surprising, she's winning.
659
00:59:22,607 --> 00:59:24,166
I don't mean the game.
660
00:59:24,447 --> 00:59:25,960
What then?
661
00:59:26,447 --> 00:59:27,721
Vice.
662
00:59:29,247 --> 00:59:30,681
The other vice.
663
00:59:35,287 --> 00:59:37,676
A fortune!
664
00:59:39,447 --> 00:59:41,165
Luck...
665
00:59:44,287 --> 00:59:45,925
Luck.
666
00:59:47,967 --> 00:59:50,004
Play seventeen again.
667
00:59:50,807 --> 00:59:52,923
I was going to.
668
00:59:57,807 --> 00:59:59,366
Game done.
669
01:00:02,967 --> 01:00:04,605
No more bets.
670
01:00:07,167 --> 01:00:09,363
Seventeen, black.
671
01:00:19,647 --> 01:00:23,641
12,600, against a stake of 360.
672
01:00:24,607 --> 01:00:26,723
I'll take it in chips.
673
01:00:28,847 --> 01:00:31,043
What luxury!
674
01:00:39,047 --> 01:00:40,606
We'll be right back.
675
01:01:08,007 --> 01:01:10,806
Game done. No more bets.
676
01:01:16,127 --> 01:01:19,438
I thought they'd come.
See that...?
677
01:01:20,087 --> 01:01:21,885
The men stayed behind.
678
01:01:24,247 --> 01:01:26,284
Jealous reprisals.
679
01:01:27,407 --> 01:01:29,444
At least,
mine is different.
680
01:01:29,927 --> 01:01:31,361
You're wrong.
681
01:01:31,647 --> 01:01:34,082
They're men.
They're all the same.
682
01:01:34,527 --> 01:01:37,087
And it's good they get jealous.
683
01:01:37,687 --> 01:01:40,122
Why?
684
01:01:40,727 --> 01:01:44,083
Jealousy is attractive.
685
01:01:44,247 --> 01:01:46,238
It's part of our arsenal.
686
01:01:47,007 --> 01:01:50,477
Desire, jealousy...
It's a wonderful life!
687
01:01:50,767 --> 01:01:53,725
It drives men crazy.
688
01:02:25,047 --> 01:02:27,561
- Port, please.
- Brandy.
689
01:02:28,887 --> 01:02:30,400
What are you thinking about?
690
01:02:30,807 --> 01:02:32,764
Suzy is a prostitute like any other.
691
01:02:33,327 --> 01:02:34,726
More beautiful, that's all!
692
01:02:39,127 --> 01:02:42,279
Prostitution is to deform,
to cancel out
693
01:02:42,967 --> 01:02:45,083
the individual in us
694
01:02:45,407 --> 01:02:47,318
in order to captivate someone...
695
01:02:48,967 --> 01:02:52,323
A boss or a master,
a rich man or a superior,
696
01:02:53,327 --> 01:02:56,365
or even a poor man,
who makes us feel good
697
01:02:57,727 --> 01:03:00,082
and obtains others'
hypocritical respect.
698
01:03:01,007 --> 01:03:04,318
We're all fakes in company.
699
01:03:04,767 --> 01:03:07,236
- Fakes?
- Yes.
700
01:03:08,247 --> 01:03:12,206
All of us, as we go to work,
enter an office
701
01:03:12,567 --> 01:03:14,205
or a drawing-room
702
01:03:14,447 --> 01:03:17,963
we become fake and conventional.
We become another.
703
01:03:19,007 --> 01:03:20,486
Yes, yes...
704
01:03:21,007 --> 01:03:23,760
Men... all bastards!
705
01:03:23,927 --> 01:03:27,477
We are mechanized, deformed!
706
01:03:29,207 --> 01:03:31,642
We're walking machines...
707
01:03:33,127 --> 01:03:35,004
Our heads full of trash.
708
01:03:35,727 --> 01:03:38,799
What good do we do?
We're stuck on an ideal
709
01:03:39,247 --> 01:03:43,639
moralists call "solidarity".
710
01:03:51,447 --> 01:03:56,237
How many of us remain honest
in this penitentiary we call social life?
711
01:03:57,127 --> 01:03:59,437
A few, because they are isolated.
712
01:03:59,687 --> 01:04:01,041
A very few.
713
01:04:01,887 --> 01:04:06,484
So I refuse to be mocked
when I say poor Suzy
714
01:04:07,767 --> 01:04:09,963
is a good person.
715
01:04:10,887 --> 01:04:14,278
You're jealous.
You're still fond of her.
716
01:04:15,527 --> 01:04:18,997
I feel the painkilling touch
of her magical fingers.
717
01:04:20,287 --> 01:04:22,722
I see her professional tricks,
718
01:04:23,207 --> 01:04:25,278
the sensitivity
of her unconscious acting...
719
01:04:28,967 --> 01:04:30,526
She's vicious...
720
01:04:31,567 --> 01:04:34,798
A sad, frustrated...
721
01:04:37,047 --> 01:04:39,846
poor and kind young lady.
722
01:04:40,727 --> 01:04:42,400
My poor Suzy...
723
01:04:42,647 --> 01:04:44,445
You've known princes, naturally,
724
01:04:45,727 --> 01:04:47,320
but not a single mystic.
725
01:04:48,367 --> 01:04:51,962
Fools, you live among fools.
726
01:04:53,247 --> 01:04:54,760
You don't complain
727
01:04:55,407 --> 01:04:57,159
or struggle.
728
01:04:58,807 --> 01:05:00,559
Not once have you cried.
729
01:05:02,167 --> 01:05:05,364
Let's go. It's late.
730
01:05:05,687 --> 01:05:07,166
You're making no sense.
731
01:05:13,367 --> 01:05:15,438
Filth!
732
01:05:18,567 --> 01:05:21,525
I'll never write again.
You are dead.
733
01:05:23,447 --> 01:05:24,801
Wait...
734
01:05:25,287 --> 01:05:27,597
Qur afternoons on the river,
at Lega...
735
01:05:29,847 --> 01:05:31,326
Remember...
736
01:05:35,327 --> 01:05:37,523
The eyes of the dead
still reflect...
737
01:05:39,007 --> 01:05:42,682
If I could tear them out,
take them gently...
738
01:05:43,887 --> 01:05:46,197
and show them once more
water flowing
739
01:05:47,127 --> 01:05:48,720
and sunshine...
740
01:05:49,647 --> 01:05:51,558
Our boat was called Sunshine...
741
01:06:44,087 --> 01:06:45,486
You'd take off your hat,
742
01:06:46,207 --> 01:06:48,801
you'd lie there and say nothing.
743
01:06:51,407 --> 01:06:53,557
From time to time,
I'd place my mouth on yours.
744
01:06:55,687 --> 01:06:57,678
I'd softly kiss your eyelids.
745
01:06:59,487 --> 01:07:02,878
Your body lay abandoned,
humiliated
746
01:07:04,007 --> 01:07:06,157
in a raw silk dress,
747
01:07:07,807 --> 01:07:09,878
like a child ashamed.
748
01:07:18,207 --> 01:07:19,925
My poor Suzy,
749
01:07:20,927 --> 01:07:22,645
you were so right,
750
01:07:24,167 --> 01:07:25,999
you guessed,
751
01:07:26,527 --> 01:07:28,962
twenty something year-old
that you were,
752
01:07:30,007 --> 01:07:33,602
you knew that beyond the present
lay future nothingness.
753
01:07:34,807 --> 01:07:37,196
You were so unhappy!
754
01:07:53,047 --> 01:07:54,799
It's a small thing.
755
01:07:55,047 --> 01:07:57,641
Perhaps, Suzy,
because you are someone
756
01:07:58,327 --> 01:08:00,125
who is never wrong.
757
01:08:01,407 --> 01:08:05,116
If I was someone you did not know then,
who speaks to you now...
758
01:08:06,247 --> 01:08:08,716
because I remember, I do...
759
01:08:10,167 --> 01:08:12,556
we spent two hours
in another dimension,
760
01:08:13,287 --> 01:08:17,042
two hours in one another,
out of time,
761
01:08:18,567 --> 01:08:20,558
my whole being lived in you,
762
01:08:21,407 --> 01:08:23,205
died in you.
763
01:08:28,167 --> 01:08:29,601
We were exhausted.
764
01:08:40,887 --> 01:08:42,400
I cannot sleep...
765
01:08:44,087 --> 01:08:45,919
How long is it since I slept?
766
01:08:51,327 --> 01:08:53,637
How long since I have heard from you?
767
01:08:58,127 --> 01:09:01,518
My absurd vanity refuses to believe
that she's forgotten me
768
01:09:02,727 --> 01:09:04,365
so I assume
769
01:09:05,087 --> 01:09:07,203
with tragic perversity
770
01:09:08,607 --> 01:09:10,917
that I have written mad letters
to a corpse.
771
01:09:14,367 --> 01:09:16,085
Curly hair...
772
01:09:16,807 --> 01:09:18,400
Worn out breasts...
773
01:09:19,767 --> 01:09:21,405
Back broken...
774
01:09:22,407 --> 01:09:23,920
Feet exhausted.
775
01:09:24,647 --> 01:09:26,126
Stony...
776
01:09:27,207 --> 01:09:28,686
Skipping...
777
01:09:30,407 --> 01:09:32,159
That walk the evening...
778
01:09:32,727 --> 01:09:34,638
On the pavements.
779
01:09:37,007 --> 01:09:38,281
Yes...
780
01:09:38,727 --> 01:09:40,798
In her last letter,
781
01:09:41,047 --> 01:09:44,165
she stated with simple courage
782
01:09:44,527 --> 01:09:46,518
as if it was an insignificant event
783
01:09:47,327 --> 01:09:49,557
that she was going to hospital
for an operation.
784
01:09:51,607 --> 01:09:54,042
She said, It's a small thing.
785
01:09:54,967 --> 01:09:59,484
Two people in love
forget to understand each other.
786
01:09:59,687 --> 01:10:03,920
When desire fades,
they become strangers.
787
01:10:05,487 --> 01:10:07,398
Then, in despair, they say:
788
01:10:08,207 --> 01:10:11,199
"One of us has changed,
we are not the same.”
789
01:10:13,287 --> 01:10:15,039
I know. She is dead.
790
01:10:15,287 --> 01:10:18,006
In your mind,
she is not the same.
791
01:10:32,167 --> 01:10:33,487
No...
792
01:10:41,527 --> 01:10:45,077
Now my mistress is the pain I feel.
793
01:10:50,247 --> 01:10:51,726
Poor Suzy!
794
01:10:53,367 --> 01:10:57,201
She lived life's comedy
through and through!
795
01:10:58,847 --> 01:11:01,123
Which is why you mustn't say
"Poor Suzy!"
796
01:11:03,647 --> 01:11:06,878
Have you never heard
of "The Mother of a River"?
797
01:11:13,047 --> 01:11:14,321
No.
798
01:11:15,447 --> 01:11:17,165
What's it to do with Suzy's death?
799
01:11:18,007 --> 01:11:19,759
There's a connection
and yet none at all!
800
01:11:22,847 --> 01:11:26,761
Life is a mystery.
Which solves everything in the end.
801
01:11:28,087 --> 01:11:31,205
Thus, is it true
that you are writing...
802
01:11:32,727 --> 01:11:34,684
That you write letters
to a dead woman?
803
01:11:42,847 --> 01:11:46,727
A mysterious force guides your hand...
804
01:11:48,087 --> 01:11:50,237
"The Mother of a River"
is about that enigma.
805
01:11:52,007 --> 01:11:53,918
The river is life's mystery.
806
01:11:54,887 --> 01:11:56,446
Life?
807
01:11:57,087 --> 01:11:58,725
You're right.
808
01:11:59,647 --> 01:12:01,365
It is in death's silence
809
01:12:01,967 --> 01:12:05,676
that we sense mystery stirring.
810
01:12:08,367 --> 01:12:10,165
It is a small thing.
811
01:12:10,647 --> 01:12:11,876
Yes...
812
01:12:16,527 --> 01:12:18,165
Artists say...
813
01:12:22,807 --> 01:12:24,400
I'm a diplomat.
814
01:12:24,567 --> 01:12:28,083
Precisely,
a diplomat who writes.
815
01:12:29,687 --> 01:12:34,204
A detail may mean as much to me
as life itself to others.
816
01:12:43,407 --> 01:12:45,205
In Antiquity, people thought
817
01:12:45,767 --> 01:12:49,920
the Earth was square
and bounded by a river of fire.
818
01:12:56,007 --> 01:12:57,884
There were no birds no plants.
819
01:12:59,007 --> 01:13:01,760
Water filled the air
like iron-coloured fog.
820
01:13:02,927 --> 01:13:07,205
The winds had not yet scattered it
to the Earth's sharp corners.
821
01:13:12,127 --> 01:13:14,687
Where was the tiny,
black-bellied fish?
822
01:13:15,727 --> 01:13:18,287
The lovely, green-scaled snake?
823
01:13:23,967 --> 01:13:25,526
Yes.
824
01:13:27,807 --> 01:13:29,320
Where...?
825
01:13:32,247 --> 01:13:34,158
After all, you are the one talking
like an artist.
826
01:13:34,327 --> 01:13:35,840
I don't speak for myself.
827
01:13:36,327 --> 01:13:38,796
These are the words
from whom invented the story.
828
01:13:40,687 --> 01:13:43,645
Go on.
829
01:13:53,647 --> 01:13:55,285
It goes like this.
830
01:13:56,527 --> 01:13:58,643
There was neither wheat
nor human hand
831
01:13:59,287 --> 01:14:02,598
neither sleep nor pain
which was the second cry of Creation.
832
01:14:03,727 --> 01:14:05,957
Though the fields were empty,
the sun cold,
833
01:14:06,647 --> 01:14:09,844
time is there
giving us wisdom and strength.
834
01:14:11,047 --> 01:14:13,721
The only solitude that counts
is that without past.
835
01:14:15,567 --> 01:14:18,366
The Mother of the River
was not extraordinary.
836
01:14:19,647 --> 01:14:22,560
She tied up her hair
with a leather thong.
837
01:14:23,727 --> 01:14:27,925
Her feet had trodden only spring grass.
838
01:14:30,167 --> 01:14:32,886
She kept the river
that sprang in the cave.
839
01:14:34,127 --> 01:14:36,767
She'd lived there a thousand years,
always awake.
840
01:14:37,807 --> 01:14:41,846
She saw the crows rise
when she spoke.
841
01:14:45,287 --> 01:14:52,603
They've taken
842
01:14:53,127 --> 01:14:58,839
My clothes...
843
01:15:03,927 --> 01:15:06,157
I cannot sing any longer
844
01:15:06,927 --> 01:15:09,123
as when I drank the juice
of strawberry-tree fruit
845
01:15:10,007 --> 01:15:11,600
and my feet
846
01:15:12,767 --> 01:15:15,407
no longer sense the Earth murmuring.
847
01:15:17,007 --> 01:15:18,566
They no longer hear.
848
01:15:22,367 --> 01:15:24,483
The villagers have forgotten me
849
01:15:25,047 --> 01:15:28,597
and the new generation
is unknown to me.
850
01:15:29,447 --> 01:15:31,245
They're all the same...
851
01:15:32,327 --> 01:15:33,886
All the same!
852
01:15:46,287 --> 01:15:50,918
In the village lived a girl
named Fisa or Fisalina.
853
01:15:51,207 --> 01:15:53,084
She was a passionate soul...
854
01:15:53,247 --> 01:15:56,205
inclined fo dream,
to inexplicable sadness.
855
01:16:07,047 --> 01:16:09,880
She mortified herself,
856
01:16:10,367 --> 01:16:12,404
though she was a simple soul.
857
01:16:12,807 --> 01:16:14,878
Her imagination tormented her.
858
01:16:15,927 --> 01:16:18,601
She thought ill of all creatures.
859
01:16:19,367 --> 01:16:23,918
She dreamt of marble-lipped beings
mouthing unknown words.
860
01:16:24,767 --> 01:16:26,678
Why was she thus?
861
01:16:27,927 --> 01:16:29,600
When are you coming back?
862
01:16:31,287 --> 01:16:32,960
I don't know, Fisalina.
863
01:16:34,287 --> 01:16:36,119
Your village is miles away.
864
01:16:42,407 --> 01:16:46,560
This village is a heap of stone.
One is lost here, one cannot leave.
865
01:16:48,047 --> 01:16:49,242
One day,
866
01:16:49,407 --> 01:16:53,116
I saw a flight of crows,
black, noisy birds.
867
01:16:54,687 --> 01:16:58,840
So black and loud!
868
01:16:59,767 --> 01:17:03,522
Once, at a funeral, old men
carried lanterns in bright daylight.
869
01:17:05,127 --> 01:17:07,482
Are they all old in your village?
870
01:17:12,167 --> 01:17:13,885
When are you coming back?
871
01:17:16,007 --> 01:17:17,520
Your vilage is miles away.
872
01:17:18,007 --> 01:17:22,843
You know...
I'd love to take you away.
873
01:17:23,287 --> 01:17:26,040
She knew no girl ever left
874
01:17:26,527 --> 01:17:28,404
or married outside the village.
875
01:17:29,007 --> 01:17:31,362
She wanted to disobey the custom.
876
01:17:31,487 --> 01:17:36,436
Her soul yearned for transgression.
877
01:17:36,607 --> 01:17:39,167
even lo transgress unsuspected laws.
878
01:17:39,927 --> 01:17:42,282
She thought of a means of exile.
879
01:17:42,927 --> 01:17:44,918
Fisalina!
880
01:17:45,087 --> 01:17:47,237
Coming, Father!
881
01:17:49,727 --> 01:17:53,766
She felt angry,
love quickened her breathing.
882
01:17:55,087 --> 01:17:58,125
She knew not if her lover
spelt freedom for her.
883
01:17:58,287 --> 01:18:01,962
Or if she had chosen him
out of cunning.
884
01:18:10,007 --> 01:18:11,680
Fisalina, want some?
885
01:18:12,927 --> 01:18:16,966
Have a bit. We picked them.
They're washed.
886
01:18:19,327 --> 01:18:21,637
And full of juice.
887
01:18:25,007 --> 01:18:26,680
Don't you want any?
888
01:18:27,207 --> 01:18:30,484
No, Father. I don't feel like eating.
889
01:18:37,327 --> 01:18:40,638
You called her yet she refuses.
890
01:18:42,567 --> 01:18:44,956
She's sacrificing herself.
891
01:18:45,487 --> 01:18:47,478
Has anyone ever seen such a thing?
892
01:18:48,887 --> 01:18:52,198
She's whimsical. Full of whims.
893
01:18:54,247 --> 01:18:58,480
Children played with bare bones.
People were hungry.
894
01:18:58,647 --> 01:19:01,765
But they did not fight
nor panic nor start thinking.
895
01:19:02,767 --> 01:19:04,599
Hunger was shared out,
896
01:19:04,927 --> 01:19:08,841
even love was shared out
haphazardly, ungenerously.
897
01:19:12,607 --> 01:19:14,837
She decided to visit
the Mother of the River.
898
01:20:29,127 --> 01:20:32,722
Men were vulgar,
they wanted to forget their history.
899
01:20:33,687 --> 01:20:36,645
Only funerals seemed true,
900
01:20:36,847 --> 01:20:39,680
as they passed streets of dirty houses
901
01:20:40,047 --> 01:20:42,197
like tombs for the living.
902
01:20:47,407 --> 01:20:50,479
To Fisalina,
the village was monstrous.
903
01:21:03,207 --> 01:21:05,801
No one had told her
what the Mother of the River was like.
904
01:23:04,887 --> 01:23:06,446
Why have you come?
905
01:23:16,767 --> 01:23:18,201
Come closer.
906
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,320
Sit properly.
907
01:23:41,047 --> 01:23:43,960
"First, there was Chaos.
908
01:23:44,487 --> 01:23:48,117
"Then the broad-hipped Earth,
909
01:23:48,287 --> 01:23:51,166
"forever a solid foundation
to sustain living things.
910
01:23:51,487 --> 01:23:56,357
"From Chaos was born
Darkness and Black Night.
911
01:23:56,727 --> 01:24:01,722
"From Night, in turn,
came Ether and Light of Day.
912
01:24:02,127 --> 01:24:06,678
"And the Eath gave birth
to an equal,
913
01:24:07,127 --> 01:24:08,686
"that cover it entirely,
914
01:24:08,807 --> 01:24:13,040
"a starry Sky for blessed Gods
915
01:24:13,607 --> 01:24:19,080
forever a solid foundation."
916
01:24:20,207 --> 01:24:23,563
Hesoid, "Theogonis".
917
01:24:24,647 --> 01:24:27,366
I speak with today's pronounciation.
918
01:24:27,847 --> 01:24:31,761
The old was lost centuries ago.
919
01:24:32,047 --> 01:24:34,118
Everyone's forgotten it, even me.
920
01:24:36,087 --> 01:24:38,920
I cannot sing as I used to
921
01:24:39,407 --> 01:24:41,478
when I drank the juice
of strawberry-tree fruit.
922
01:24:42,527 --> 01:24:46,805
My feet no longer hear
the earth murmuring.
923
01:24:47,927 --> 01:24:50,726
The villages have forgotten me.
924
01:24:51,007 --> 01:24:54,125
I do not know the new generation.
925
01:24:54,247 --> 01:24:57,524
The children...
926
01:24:58,927 --> 01:25:00,565
The children...
927
01:25:00,727 --> 01:25:03,401
are all the same.
928
01:25:06,287 --> 01:25:07,925
You, what do you want from me?
929
01:25:08,767 --> 01:25:13,682
Speak. Do not fear. What will you say?
930
01:25:16,247 --> 01:25:19,638
I have much to say, deep water.
931
01:25:20,487 --> 01:25:21,921
Speak.
932
01:25:24,127 --> 01:25:26,277
I've always lived in the village,
933
01:25:26,527 --> 01:25:28,518
for nearly twenty years.
934
01:25:29,247 --> 01:25:33,320
The streets pursue me
and close before me.
935
01:25:34,527 --> 01:25:36,837
They've grown like a stone harvest.
936
01:25:37,727 --> 01:25:39,957
And I cannot leave.
937
01:25:40,887 --> 01:25:42,639
The walls have gone up,
938
01:25:42,967 --> 01:25:45,925
the joins are tighter and tighter.
939
01:25:47,367 --> 01:25:49,085
How can I breathe
940
01:25:49,607 --> 01:25:51,996
if I cannot escape my chest?
941
01:25:52,687 --> 01:25:56,078
Or live without end
with earth beneath my feet?
942
01:25:59,487 --> 01:26:01,524
Listen, belly of a river.
943
01:26:01,647 --> 01:26:04,036
I wish to walk, I do not move.
944
01:26:04,647 --> 01:26:08,163
Curse me, but set me free.
945
01:26:10,927 --> 01:26:15,000
The sun is made of fire and salt.
946
01:26:15,647 --> 01:26:17,399
Of fire and salt.
947
01:26:17,687 --> 01:26:21,885
To be free, quench the fire,
scatter the salt
948
01:26:22,487 --> 01:26:25,878
and forego the world.
949
01:26:30,327 --> 01:26:33,240
How I'd like to forget!
950
01:26:34,887 --> 01:26:37,401
Who are you? Why are you here?
951
01:26:41,047 --> 01:26:43,766
I have seen no one for ages.
952
01:26:44,407 --> 01:26:46,603
I know nothing of people.
953
01:26:47,407 --> 01:26:50,365
I have nothing to do with them.
954
01:26:53,367 --> 01:26:56,997
Guardians of truth are not immortal.
955
01:26:57,687 --> 01:26:59,325
They must be replaced.
956
01:27:02,927 --> 01:27:04,361
Of course...
957
01:27:06,767 --> 01:27:09,043
I was born in the village nearby.
958
01:27:10,207 --> 01:27:13,643
I love a boy with pretty teeth.
959
01:27:14,567 --> 01:27:17,480
I tremble when he takes my waist.
960
01:27:19,207 --> 01:27:21,881
I do not know how to marry him.
961
01:27:22,847 --> 01:27:27,284
It's never been done.
Never been done.
962
01:27:28,127 --> 01:27:30,164
I know all that.
963
01:27:31,127 --> 01:27:33,641
When I was your age,
964
01:27:33,847 --> 01:27:36,805
I liked to lie naked on the ground
965
01:27:37,087 --> 01:27:40,557
to hear the ants whisper
966
01:27:40,727 --> 01:27:46,040
as they rustled in the new blades.
967
01:27:46,847 --> 01:27:49,600
The earth smelled fine.
968
01:27:49,727 --> 01:27:53,357
Toads hid in marsh mud.
969
01:27:58,687 --> 01:28:00,837
In summer or autumn,
970
01:28:01,167 --> 01:28:03,920
I fill my apron with white stones
971
01:28:04,287 --> 01:28:08,804
to guard my square beds
of gentian.
972
01:28:10,287 --> 01:28:12,722
But the hail took them away.
973
01:28:14,127 --> 01:28:15,561
It does not matter...
974
01:28:16,327 --> 01:28:18,523
I don't like flowers for long.
975
01:28:24,487 --> 01:28:26,125
Deep water!
976
01:28:27,167 --> 01:28:29,602
Why am I always sad?
977
01:28:40,087 --> 01:28:42,476
Even when I have meat,
978
01:28:43,407 --> 01:28:47,366
even when calmly I watch birds peck
my sun-warned feet,
979
01:28:48,487 --> 01:28:50,876
I feel desperate,
980
01:28:51,647 --> 01:28:53,558
I feel a deathly tenderness
981
01:28:54,287 --> 01:28:56,278
for all living things.
982
01:28:59,207 --> 01:29:01,118
Is this love?
983
01:29:02,167 --> 01:29:04,602
My lover's presence
brings no calm.
984
01:29:07,087 --> 01:29:09,966
Tell me how to leave the village,
985
01:29:10,087 --> 01:29:13,239
how to run off with the old ringer's son.
986
01:29:16,607 --> 01:29:19,645
My mouth speaks only lies.
987
01:29:29,727 --> 01:29:31,365
Deep water!
988
01:29:31,887 --> 01:29:33,639
Uncover my heart.
989
01:29:35,007 --> 01:29:37,044
Me, I cannot.
990
01:29:59,247 --> 01:30:00,885
Come.
991
01:30:17,967 --> 01:30:20,641
They slid over light ash soil
992
01:30:20,727 --> 01:30:22,843
and into a terrible maze.
993
01:30:23,247 --> 01:30:24,760
The sun was invisible.
994
01:30:25,327 --> 01:30:27,841
The light came off rough walls.
995
01:30:29,407 --> 01:30:35,085
They took away
996
01:30:36,487 --> 01:30:41,038
My clothes
997
01:30:44,287 --> 01:30:50,806
And covered me
998
01:30:51,607 --> 01:30:58,718
In a purple tunic...
999
01:31:00,847 --> 01:31:02,246
Stop!
1000
01:31:04,927 --> 01:31:06,326
Look at the ground.
1001
01:31:17,607 --> 01:31:19,917
Fisalina was filled
with extraordinary joy.
1002
01:31:21,047 --> 01:31:22,560
Her laughter filled the cave.
1003
01:31:22,647 --> 01:31:26,003
It burbled, multiplied,
like tinkling bells.
1004
01:31:27,007 --> 01:31:29,203
She thought "How strong I am”.
1005
01:31:36,167 --> 01:31:39,558
Can I make ball of earth
larger than the moon,
1006
01:31:39,687 --> 01:31:42,600
and throw it up into space
with trees and animals?
1007
01:31:44,247 --> 01:31:46,716
A little boy waits outside
1008
01:31:47,047 --> 01:31:49,197
in a village that is not mine
1009
01:31:49,807 --> 01:31:52,083
and I cannot belong to him.
1010
01:31:52,847 --> 01:31:55,202
He's only a little boy,
1011
01:31:55,527 --> 01:31:57,882
an old bell-ringer's son.
1012
01:31:58,527 --> 01:32:00,120
What a shame.
1013
01:32:00,407 --> 01:32:04,002
If he were a King,
If he were a Ship's Captain,
1014
01:32:04,087 --> 01:32:07,523
an effigy lying
in a chapel after death,
1015
01:32:07,607 --> 01:32:10,440
with a cross and an iron crown
on his chest,
1016
01:32:10,847 --> 01:32:14,636
then my refusal would seem fine.
1017
01:32:15,527 --> 01:32:17,677
You are strong, Fisalina.
1018
01:32:18,247 --> 01:32:24,437
Love inspires you
with destruction, with calamity.
1019
01:32:30,727 --> 01:32:34,607
But it is true,
Mother of a River?
1020
01:32:34,727 --> 01:32:36,718
Have you set me free?
1021
01:34:25,487 --> 01:34:29,606
She remembered Hesiod's poem
that the Mother of a River had read,
1022
01:34:29,727 --> 01:34:33,766
using today's pronounciation,
for Ancient Greek is lost.
1023
01:34:34,007 --> 01:34:35,327
She had said:
1024
01:34:35,607 --> 01:34:38,201
Everyone has forgotten it,
even I have forgotten it.
1025
01:34:39,807 --> 01:34:41,525
The poem went like this:
1026
01:34:42,647 --> 01:34:46,561
"First, there was Chaos.
Then came the Earth,
1027
01:34:46,687 --> 01:34:49,759
"With its broad hips
and a form unknown.
1028
01:34:50,847 --> 01:34:53,441
"From Chaos was born
Darkness and Black Night.
1029
01:34:53,527 --> 01:34:56,167
"Then Night was made fertile
by the Darkness,
1030
01:34:56,767 --> 01:34:59,998
"jt carried Ether and Light
and gave birth to them.
1031
01:35:00,567 --> 01:35:03,639
"And the Earth gave birth
to a equal,
1032
01:35:03,847 --> 01:35:07,397
"the Starry sky,
that could cover the Universe entirely.”
1033
01:35:12,607 --> 01:35:14,564
Fisalina looked up at the skylight
1034
01:35:14,647 --> 01:35:17,002
and a strange sensation
filled her body.
1035
01:35:17,167 --> 01:35:19,078
She sensed a complicity
1036
01:35:19,167 --> 01:35:22,159
between her golden fingers
and the stars in the sky.
1037
01:35:29,967 --> 01:35:31,685
What is that?
1038
01:35:32,807 --> 01:35:34,923
A glove to eat with...?
1039
01:35:37,927 --> 01:35:39,486
I've hurt myself.
1040
01:35:40,407 --> 01:35:42,876
It's so I don't hurt myself
when I touch something.
1041
01:35:44,527 --> 01:35:46,564
Fisalina became fearful.
1042
01:35:46,687 --> 01:35:49,327
She kept to herself and jumped
1043
01:35:49,407 --> 01:35:52,798
if she was seen drawing
on the ground with a straw.
1044
01:35:54,727 --> 01:35:57,685
She hid her hand
when she saw her boyfriend.
1045
01:35:58,607 --> 01:36:02,566
He found her so odd, he got cross
then softened
1046
01:36:03,447 --> 01:36:05,961
believing she was scared
of losing him.
1047
01:36:20,007 --> 01:36:21,600
Fisalina!
1048
01:36:27,887 --> 01:36:31,437
What's wrong?
Why are you like this?
1049
01:36:33,887 --> 01:36:35,321
It's nothing...
1050
01:36:37,287 --> 01:36:38,766
It's nothing...
1051
01:36:39,447 --> 01:36:41,484
It'll all be fine, Fisalina...
1052
01:36:42,807 --> 01:36:45,037
We'll find a way to get married.
1053
01:36:45,247 --> 01:36:48,080
But don't cry,
don't cry...
1054
01:36:48,607 --> 01:36:50,644
With her golden fingers,
1055
01:36:50,927 --> 01:36:53,646
what could she expect?
1056
01:36:53,767 --> 01:36:56,361
If people found out,
what would happen?
1057
01:36:59,287 --> 01:37:00,641
Fisalina!
1058
01:37:01,887 --> 01:37:03,321
I must go...
1059
01:37:08,167 --> 01:37:11,046
She loved to gaze
at the golden tips of her fingers,
1060
01:37:11,127 --> 01:37:13,277
at the burnish,
1061
01:37:13,927 --> 01:37:16,840
the perfection and polish
of her round nails.
1062
01:37:17,607 --> 01:37:21,919
She blushed and thought
of strange things, new to her.
1063
01:37:24,087 --> 01:37:29,036
She had lost
her frantic urge to escape the village.
1064
01:37:30,047 --> 01:37:32,800
Twice, she failed to turn up
to see her boyfriend.
1065
01:37:33,407 --> 01:37:34,920
She felt fine.
1066
01:38:48,967 --> 01:38:50,196
What's wrong?
1067
01:38:52,127 --> 01:38:53,720
Fisalina...
1068
01:38:54,567 --> 01:38:56,558
You've not been back to the fields!
1069
01:38:57,047 --> 01:38:59,084
I waited by the chestnut tree.
1070
01:39:00,327 --> 01:39:02,682
You ran away last time,
for no reason. Why?
1071
01:39:03,847 --> 01:39:05,963
You've grown odd, Fisalina.
1072
01:39:06,967 --> 01:39:08,401
Don't you love me anymore?
1073
01:39:11,407 --> 01:39:13,444
The rain has erased our footprints.
1074
01:39:13,607 --> 01:39:17,680
The wind has carried our sighs
to the moon...
1075
01:39:20,727 --> 01:39:23,321
- Go away.
- I'm here now.
1076
01:39:26,447 --> 01:39:29,200
Your father was a bell-ringer,
wasn't he?
1077
01:39:29,327 --> 01:39:30,601
Yes.
1078
01:39:30,727 --> 01:39:32,525
Sometimes, he'd ask me for help.
1079
01:39:33,327 --> 01:39:34,726
When he died,
1080
01:39:34,967 --> 01:39:37,038
I climbed the tower,
heartbroken,
1081
01:39:37,247 --> 01:39:39,397
and rang the bells as hard as I could.
1082
01:39:41,247 --> 01:39:44,717
In my village, there's a watertank too.
1083
01:39:44,927 --> 01:39:48,522
When I look deep down
I see the water glint.
1084
01:39:49,087 --> 01:39:52,205
I call your name
and the echo repeats it...
1085
01:39:52,407 --> 01:39:54,683
Fisalina! Fisalina!
1086
01:39:55,607 --> 01:39:57,883
Fisalina laughed to herself,
1087
01:39:58,087 --> 01:40:01,159
a feeble, lonely sentiment in her soul.
1088
01:40:02,327 --> 01:40:04,000
But you don't love me!
1089
01:40:06,727 --> 01:40:08,320
Go away.
1090
01:40:17,207 --> 01:40:18,800
You hide from me.
1091
01:40:33,887 --> 01:40:35,480
Winter passed.
1092
01:40:35,967 --> 01:40:37,640
The mountain came to life.
1093
01:40:37,767 --> 01:40:40,725
Ranks of crows rose up
in the new fields.
1094
01:40:41,527 --> 01:40:44,724
The village got ready for
the Dead Christ procession.
1095
01:42:12,007 --> 01:42:15,204
Her fingers are golden!
The witch!
1096
01:42:15,287 --> 01:42:20,760
What's happened to you?
What have they done to you?
1097
01:42:20,847 --> 01:42:25,045
Witch!
She's a witch!
1098
01:42:25,207 --> 01:42:28,165
Witch! Witch!
1099
01:43:16,887 --> 01:43:22,838
Witch! Witch!
1100
01:45:07,527 --> 01:45:11,236
The guardians of the human spirit
need replacing too.
1101
01:45:11,727 --> 01:45:15,960
And the waters of wisdom
will be inhabited by new masters.
1102
01:45:16,567 --> 01:45:18,205
Fisalina!
1103
01:45:19,487 --> 01:45:21,160
I have lost you!
1104
01:45:22,007 --> 01:45:24,806
Fisalina,
reckless, fated,
1105
01:45:25,327 --> 01:45:27,637
has chosen to live
beside the deep water
1106
01:45:27,967 --> 01:45:30,402
where she will wait
a thousand years
1107
01:45:30,527 --> 01:45:33,918
before swapping lives
with someone else.
1108
01:45:35,167 --> 01:45:38,523
The people of Alvite, the ancient
village of Alveus, still exist.
1109
01:45:39,807 --> 01:45:41,764
But the story is forgotten.
1110
01:45:42,967 --> 01:45:44,605
The women, however,
1111
01:45:44,967 --> 01:45:48,437
still wear in winter gloves
that leave the finger-tips uncovered.
1112
01:45:49,367 --> 01:45:53,406
They say they feel freer
and can spin their wool.
1113
01:45:59,207 --> 01:46:02,723
Is it not rather they fear
golden fingers,
1114
01:46:03,847 --> 01:46:05,599
that they are weary?
1115
01:46:07,207 --> 01:46:09,118
It is a small thing.
1116
01:46:11,487 --> 01:46:13,319
Poor Fisalina!
1117
01:46:15,247 --> 01:46:16,840
Poor Suzy!
1118
01:46:49,687 --> 01:46:54,761
