SMALL FIRES

Tommaso?

Tommaso!

What are you doing?

How many times do I have to tell you to tell you not to play with fire?

It's dangerous! It burns!

It wasn't me, Mom!

You've got to stop with that! Where are the matches?

I don't have them, Mom!

I'm going to tell your father right now. He'll teach you a lesson.

"... A few miles north..."

"...the iceberg has appeared..."

...not "white"...

"purple".

Leo.....

Leo!

- Do you know what your son has done? - Played...

Yes! With fire. This is already the 10th fire.

- Tommaso? - Yes. Your son.

... which one is mine when I'm home, and nobody's when you're home!

You didn't correct it, did you?

Are we doing another one, boss?

No !

Please, boss... please!

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom, and in the kingdom, a castle

where a princess named Amina lived.

Like the spring sun, Amina's beauty extended beyond the kingdom

past rainforests, great mountains, of infinite seas.

Amina's beauty was unsurpassed

than his deep sadness.

Amina was in fact the prisoner of a cruel prince.

She lived confined to the castle's highest tower, hidden from everyone.

In her heart she nurtured a dream

...to be rescued by the most noble and pure knight.

To reach the tower, you had to go through a thousand deadly traps

and the cruel prince knew that there was no man or king who could rescue the princess.

But Amina had one last hope

and when she saw a figure appear on the horizon she closed her eyes and waited.

... Does it still hurt?

No.

You'll see how good it is!

Careful... it's hot.

- Aren't you going to eat? - Are you? - Aren't you going to eat?

What was kindergarten like today?

I went to the park and lost the ball, I fell and hurt myself badly.

Let me see...

It's terrible.

- But... I don't see anything. - It doesn't hurt anymore.

It must have been a great pain.

A lot.

I bled so much.

- Look what happened to me. - But I don't see anything.

Now you can't see anything, but when I hurt myself I was bleeding so badly I almost died!

Dad, when someone dies, do they talk?

Well, if he's still alive, he talks, if he's dead, he doesn't.

Dad, when I die I want to talk.

Wait, wait, wait! I have to write this down.

Can you see anything, guard?

Nothing.

They'll take it easy. When they arrive, I'll welcome them properly.

I'm going to kick their asses!

Ball.

Bullets...not bullets! ... balls... balls

Dromedary balls!

Park.

Blood.

Wake up, kids! Wake up!

Wake up, Nicola!

Where's my mom?

Your mom's gone.

This is not true.

She's not here because last night she had to go out with your father

That's why she took you to sleep with your friend Nicola.

Aren't you happy?

Go like this... look... here...

It's getting so pleasant!

Yes, yes, take this.

Professor ... can we go to the park?

No, not today. We'll go tomorrow, Tommaso, okay?

- Can you see anything? - Not a thing.

In my kingdom, it was always sunny.

In my kingdom, day has never become night.

In my kingdom, no one has ever slept.

He's all sweaty. He's going to infect us all.

How are you feeling?

- He's really out of shape. - He burns, he always has a high fever.

Give me the medicine... 10 drops.

Don't take it! It could be poisonous.

Swallow!

- Don't take it. - Come on! Swallow it!

- Maybe it would be better with sugar. - Good boy!

Sugar is bad for your teeth.

You'll see, tomorrow he'll be fine.

Good night.

Good night, kid!

I think he's going to die.

Don't die, boss.

Ashes.

Fire burns poop.

Poop chases away disease.

Away! Away from Tommaso!

Come on, sir! Wake up! Wake up!

- Ouch! - What a fuss, sir!

Come on! Move it!

Let's go! To the bathroom!

Breakfast is ready!

I don't like the way she says "sir!"

I don't like the way she says "sir".

She has ugly feet!

She has ugly feet!

She's a witch!

Let's burn it, then!

If I make another fire, Mum will get angry!

I'll take care of it!

That, yes. That, no. That, yes. That, yes.

Not this. That's right. That, yes.

Ready to go?

All set!

Come on, boss! Let's hear a pretty cry!

Prey, eliminated!

She said it was Tommaso! And that he did it on purpose!

Tommaso hasn't moved from his bed!

He said the woman wanted to kill him.

She had just given him an injection.

Tommaso didn't say "injection".

Tommaso said "she pierced me with a needle because she wanted to kill me. "

Do you know why you're on his side?

Because you love him? No !

You take his side because it benefits you!

You become the "good dad" and avoid responsibility.

I'm in. So now I'm going over there and kicking his ass. Happy now?

No! I'm not happy!

And now who's going to take care of him?

What about us? Who will take care of us?

- What does that mean? - It means nothing!

But it's important in any case.

I want to finish

What are you doing?

I do...um...3 ghosts...no...5!

Listen, Tommaso...

when I was your age, grandpa sent me to buy the newspaper

and Grandma sent me on an errand.

I want to shop for mom too!

That's the problem.

We have groceries delivered here. Newspaper too.

Do you know why?

Because the life of a child today has become full of dangers.

A living hell.

- But I'm not afraid, Dad. - This is it.

That's why we need to find someone who who can do the shopping for you.

Unfortunately, your mother works.

Me too, sometimes...

Take a look. There are at least 10 girls here who would be to come and live in Tommaso's house.

Are we giving them another chance?

I want this one, Dad.

Beautiful!

Sleep.

Sleep.

Hi there!

Hi there!

Did you dream well?

Yes.

Are you hungry?

I have to poop.

So go pack and come back. You'll find a nice breakfast waiting for you.

What are you doing here?

I am the king. And I'm pooping on this thing!

Listen, I've noticed we have another daughter. I'll take care of re-establishing the hierarchy now.

No! It's useless.

She'll poison your breakfast!

No! Leave her! She's mine.

Thank God you lost your head... or I would have cut it off.

What's your name?

My name is Mara.

But... are you going to stay here forever?

Yes, I'm staying here.

- Sleep too? - Yes, sleep and eat.

Are you happy?

If you have to do something, you have to tell me.

The king? There's a king here? And where does he come from?

He came here because they sent him.

He's always angry.

Then there's Alien and Dragon.

This house is packed.

- If you like, you can meet them - Where are they?

Over there.

Hush...the dragon sleeps.

Can you see it?

Yes, I see him. He's sleeping.

Dragon, wake up! Say hello to Mara.

Hello, Dragon.

Say hello to Mara.

- Bad dragon! - I don't greet those who don't see me.

Watch out, boss! The king wants to "take down" Mara.

- What the hell are you doing? - Let me do my job, kid!

- I give the orders here! - Nobody gives orders to a king.

Begone, evil king!

Watch out! Sooner or later, we'll be leaving for good.

Spy! Piece of metal!

Hi Tom!

Hi there!

Why are you painting your feet red?

If I get lost at night, you can find me.

Can I paint one too?

Yes. Voila!

Don't move your toe

like this.

No. Not the toe! The nail!

- Mine comes before yours. - No, mine comes before yours.

Yours is old and ugly.

- Mine's new and she's called Mara - Yours won't come.

Yes! Mine will come with red feet.

Nicolaaaa!

See?

Yours isn't coming. She's crazy!

Slow down!

- How are you? Are you scared? - No, I'm not scared.

Hi, frog!

Hi there!

Now I'll show you the secret of the 40 thieves

Come on!

My house is beautiful, isn't it?

No, mine's nicer.

Yours? Do you realize that the cellar of your house is full of dead children?

How did they die?

In their sleep. You like to sleep, don't you?

Stop it, Franci.

- Don't listen to him. It's all lies. - Look at this pretty game.

I'm giving you this. And I'm taking Mara with me.

- I don't like the way you talk to that kid. - And you like the way I talk to you?

Turn around!

Mara...

Mara!

Mara, open up!

Open up, Mara!

Mara, open up!

Mara!

Open up, Mara!

- Mara, open up! - Hey, will you stop?

- Where's Mara? - Mara, Mara, Mara! Can you even say that?

- Mara, are you ill? - No, I'm not sick.

- Do you have a fever? - No, I don't have a fever.

Can we go home, Mara?

Yes, now we're going to go.

Mom, why don't you paint your feet red?

Do you think I'd be okay?

Mara does.

Listen, Tommaso... how do you see me?

Very beautiful.

But if you had to choose another mother

how would you like it?

Like you, Mom.

- Like me? - Yes.

What did you do today?

- We went to the park. - No, we didn't.

I drove a motorcycle.

A motorcycle? With whom?

On the carousel, Mom...

There were bicycles, cars, tanks, horses and a tank with a cannon so big

I lied.

I also do a lot.

Franci?

It's hard to explain. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Yes or no?

When it's good, yes. When it's bad, no.

What do you do to him when he's naughty?

Nothing. I'm getting mean too.

Good night.

He tells his mother lies.

He doesn't know that liars have frogs frogs coming out of their mouths.

Not frogs! Cockroaches!

They don't take liars. Liars can't come.

I'm not a liar!

We leave you here with your beloved Mara. Are you happy?

What?

He also wants to take Mara with us!

Mara's not coming.

Mara can't come.

Did you hear that? She can't come.

Make up your mind! It's us or Mara.

Us or Mara!

Us or Mara!

Hi frog!

Where's Mara?

She's not here.

- And where is she? - She's out.

And when will she be back?

Never again.

You're a filthy little liar!

What a beautiful home you have.

Distinguished, refined, disinfected.

Now I understand why Mara is so difficult.

But she went too far, disappearing like that...didn't she?

Go away! This is not your home!

I admit it... I have this weakness...

...when I'm at someone's house, I have to check the drawers.

Now my father will come and teach you a lesson.

Listen, frog, why don't you go down to the cellar and play with the dead children?

Mara says it's not true. There are no dead kids in the basement.

Mara tells lies. When she comes back, I'll have to reprimand her.

Mara!

- What is it? What's wrong? - Franci's here!

- Where is it? - He's inside.

He said you're a liar. There are dead kids in the basement.

Now calm down. I'll arrange everything. You wait here.

"The forest floated slowly and solemnly solemnly in the middle of the ocean... "

- What are you doing here? Get out of bed! - "The roots sank in the water, the salt gems bloomed in the branches."

- Who writes this crap? - What possessed you to come here?

You've gone native, haven't you, Mara? Worse... You've decided to settle down.

What do you want from me?

About you? Just one thing.

You wanted them to throw me out, didn't you?

Mara, this is not the place for you.

I work here. Leave me alone!

I love it when you play hard to get...

It gives me a hard-on!

- So, Mara... are we done? - You're the one who ended it.

Can't you see you still love me?

I'll take this with me as a souvenir.

Put it back!

- I bet it's worth a lot. - Give it back, I said!

As you wish.

You're an asshole! An asshole, an asshole!

You're a servant! A servant!

A faithful and loyal servant... You've become a bootlicker!

Mara...

Mara...

I want to see him dead.

Listen, Ada... have you, by any chance, touched my pages?

That's because it's lacking.

Wasn't there a Chinese dog there?

You're right.

The Chinese dog is gone.

Do you know anything about this, Tommaso?

- It was the wind, Mom. - The wind?

He devastated the windows, the sheets, the vase and even me.

Even you?

Hi Tom!

You can't see Franci anymore?

No, I don't see him anymore.

Who do you love most?

You!

More than anyone else?

Yes, more than anyone else.

Go to sleep now, okay?

What are you doing now?

I can't sleep.

Come here.

You can't see Franci anymore?

I told you I don't do that anymore.

Swear it.

I swear!

Good night!

Good night!

"With his fiery sword, the brave knight beheaded the hundred monsters rising from the ground...

and finally reached the castle where Amina was being held prisoner.

For 3 days and 3 nights he had a duel with the cruel prince.

and it's only at dawn on the fourth day

before sunrise

that the evil prince perished, pierced.

As if by magic, the princess awoke in a flower-covered field in the arms of her knight.

Now she was totally free, no more chains.

The knight took her with him on his white horse

and together they soared over seas and mountains

to the kingdom of Love

...where they lived happily ever after!"

No more.

Any questions?

Does "forever" mean they got married?

That's it!

For life?

For life!

It's not true! My dad married my mom and now he's with my aunt!

My brother stays with my father and I stay with my mother.

- I'm staying with my mother! - I'm staying with my grandmother!

I stay a week with Mom, a week with Dad.

- Me too! - Me too!

OK, kids, I know! You're so right!

Not all marriages last forever.

I know ... life isn't like in fairy tales.

Staying together forever and ever... What should we do?

What can I tell you, Tommaso...

only God can give you that kind of certainty.

God?

Yes, only God.

Bring it on! Bring it on!

Bring it on!

Take a look! What skill!

Such a dribble!

Alien, king, dragon!

- What is it, boss? - Search God for me.

- Who? - God! God!

Do you have the address?

No.

God is everywhere.

But if it's everywhere, how do you find it?

Alien goes like this, Dragon goes like that. The king goes this way!

Now we start chasing ghosts too?

God exists! Go get him! I want him!

Stay still!

Who do you love the most?

You!

More than any other?

Yes, more than anyone else.

Forever?

Yes, forever.

Forever and ever and ever and ever?

Yes. Yes.

Then you'll marry me.

Of course I'll marry you.

When you grow up.

No, now!

Okay. Now we'll take a bath and see.

Tom, before you get married, you'll become boyfriend or girlfriend...

...and boyfriends have to be clean!

otherwise girlfriends aren't happy.

Girlfriends have to be clean too.

ah, yes?

All right!

Voila!

Hey, boss! We've found that God is 3 in 1.

To avoid complications, we captured all three.

But the best is my one!

I don't like it. It's too small.

It's the real God, boss!

I don't like him. It stinks!

...so vulgar!

It's God.

It cannot be opened.

Why?

If you open it, God will escape.

I want this one.

- Can you see it? - You're right. It does look like God.

So...we're getting married.

But... Tommaso... we're just engaged.

If we don't get married, God will be upset.

But I don't know how to get married. This is my first time.

Close your eyes. I'll tell you everything.

They are closed.

Now you have to say:

"I'm marrying Tommaso forever and ever and ever."

I'm marrying Tommaso forever

Three times!

I'm...

forever and ever and ever.

Was it good?

Yes.

Let me go now, I've got to get dinner ready.

I marry Mara forever and ever and ever

and never...

It's mine...it's mine...

It's mine...

The tractor is mine.

The fool is mine.

The snake is mine.

What are you doing?

We're off to find another house.

Boss, listen to me. I'm experienced. She'll ruin you!

For the last time, choose either us or Mara!

... Mara.

Mara! He chose Mara! I told you he was a traitor!

Let's leave forever! And ever! And nevermore!

Good-bye, boss.

I'm sorry, boss.

Why is he leaving?

He goes to war.

Will he be back?

Of course he'll be back. He promised.

Forever?

Yes, forever.

Mara!

Mara!

Tommaso!

Tommaso, hurry up. Breakfast is ready.

Tom, the milk's getting cold.

- What did you do? - Poo.

Have you suddenly become stupid?

Since when do you poop in the bidet?

Have you finished already?

Yes

Eating is the only thing you do well, right?

Why aren't you eating?

When I was your age, I was always hungry.

At least drink the milk.

Leave him alone...he's not in the mood.

Leave him alone? He's barely eaten in 3 days.

Don't look at it ... then we'll see.

He did it on purpose!

Nah...

You didn't do it on purpose, did you, Tommaso?

Look, I'm tired of always being the mean mom.

This time you slap him!

I've never slapped anyone in my life and I'm not starting now!

Kids, come on! It's time for breakfast.

- What's he like? - He's so pale...

- May I come in? - Yes, please.

Hi Tom!

Now you'll feel better, you'll see.

And when you're better, we'll go someplace nice

you and me!

But you have to eat.

Because if you don't eat, you'll stay here. ... and I don't want you to stay here.

I want you to go back to being of a big, strong, sweet kid.

Why aren't you talking?

Is it something I've done?

It's here! It's here! It's here! It's here!

Look at you! What a mess!

No offense, boss, but you really are a wreck.

We had a meeting and decided to give to give you one last chance.

Are you really worried about Mara?

Yes.

You want Mara all to yourself?

Yes.

So let's get a move on!

Let's teach this moron a lesson!

The road is calm.

That's the one! Right here!

He sleeps soundly.

He'll go from one night's sleep to eternal sleep without noticing.

How are we going to kill it?

We'll get the blood out of his throat.

I don't like it. Everything will get dirty.

We cut off his dick

...then it grows back...the cock...

Look what I found.

Why don't we build a small fire?

Yes, let's make a fire!

Let's start by wrapping it up! Here, Dragon!

Spoils of war.

I can't stand people who raise their voices before they die.

In your honor, boss.

Hurry! Let's go ! Or we'll end up baking too!

Sleep well, young man?

Later, I'll come and put another one on for you.

In the meantime, let's check the temperature

Do you feel like eating?

No !

Well, I'll leave breakfast here.

Do what you like.

I'll be back in 5 minutes.

Hi Tom!

Hi there!

Hi Mara!

We did everything wrong.

But maybe we can work it out again.

But do you think Tommaso really wanted to die?

We made a son...and forgot him.

Do you know what he once said to me?

"When I die, I want to talk"

Beautiful, isn't it?

I want to put that in the book!

Mara! Mara! I'm hurt!

Where?

Here.

I can't see a thing.

Here.

What a pain!

Can you make her stop?

Hurt again?

Yes.

Tell us ... what do you think?

I'm going to say it was me.

Can you believe it? He wants to take it all on.

Do you know where they send you if you tell them?

Yes.

- But have you ever been in prison? - No, I haven't.

I've been there. And you know what they do to you?

They pull out toenails.

They pull out your hair.

They put a cap in your ass and you can't poop for a month.

They feed you spider broth.

They chop your ears into thin slices. They pluck out your eyes and play marbles with them.

...And I'm a king! ....not a baby!

Babies get worse treatment.

I'll tell them anyway!

Don't do it, boss.

It was me!

What's the matter, kid?

It was me. It wasn't Mara.

It was you... what did you do?

Tommaso...come on...let's go!

Mara, would you like a chip?

No.

Aren't you going to play?

Leave me alone, please.

Whose game is it?

To Franci.

- When did he give it to you? - If you want it, I'll give it to you.

When did he give it to you?

It wasn't given to me. I took it.

- You took it...where? - From him.

- When was it? - When he was asleep.

When he slept?

Yes. Before you burn it!

What are you saying?

We burned it, because it was bad!

...it's impossible...

You told me you wanted him dead.

Mara!

Where's Mara?

My baby woke up!

Mara...where is she?

She's gone.

Far away... where?

She returned home.

She's not coming back?

Listen, Tommaso, you don't have to worry. This time, we won't leave you alone.

I'll still be here. I'll even quit my job.

Now I'm going to make you a nice breakfast.

...And another thing...

Dad and I thought of a great gift for you.

Would you like a little brother?

No.

There's no point in turning a blind eye.

You've already seen me.

Tom wants you

Why doesn't the Dragon come back?

I think he got lost.

Fire.

Dragon.

Pee.

Pee, dragon, poo.

poop, dragon, Mara!

Mara! Dragon! Tom!

I'm here, boss!

Where's Mara?

- She's dumb, boss. She pretended not to see me. - I told you not to trust her!

It's better if you forget.

I see a light

Turn it around, you fool!

Here they come.

It's true, it's true! Take a look...

I knew they'd come! I knew they would!

Hurry! Let's go !

It's the biggest in the world!

Let's go ! Let them see us!

They said we could come.

Let's press on, then, before they change their minds.

I'm not coming, I'm waiting for Mara.

What is it? We've waited a lifetime for this!

She's not coming back, boss. Told you.

Come with us.

I can't! I can't! I'm waiting for Mara!

Then we'll never see each other again.

They're not coming back.

Neither do we!

I know.

So this is goodbye.

I give you my kingdom.

Don't forget us!

Goodbye, King!

They don't need it there.

Bye, boss!

Remember the little fires...

Goodbye, dragon!

I got nothing, boss.

If you want, I can stay here.

Goodbye, strangers!

Bye, boss!

Goodbye!
