Lucia!

There! You're cured.

ON OUR OWN

Still angry with me?

I was a bitch.

A mega-bitch?

Want to try something?

What?

Yeah.

Want to strangle me? Just a bit, for fun?

Yes?

It's no fun if you're so lame.

Well, then... See you tomorrow, yeah?

No.

No what?

I'm not leaving.

- How come? - Just so. I'm not leaving!

Luca.

Seriously, come on!

Luca.

What is it? Are you crazy?

Yes, I'm crazy!

- What is this, Flavia? - What?

This shit.

I told you, I'm not into anything serious.

Bravo, how fair of you.

- Nothing's changed for me. - Great!

What are you saying now? You fell in love with me?

Fuck yeah!

You're just mad at yourself, for getting scared.

That's got nothing to do with me.

I bet you're braver on Pornhub.

Sorry.

Shouldn't have said that.

OK, I'm leaving.

And don't tell me how to feel, it makes me sick.

Luca!

You brought Flavia to protect you?

Tell me what you did, so I can deal with them.

Nothing!

Nothing? Look at him!

- Want me to hear it from them? - As you wish.

Tina, tell me already!

You know how cheeky she was when I asked why he hit him?

She said "he deserved it".

I warned her she might repeat the year because of this.

She said: "So what?"

"You don't want to finish 8 grades?" "I'll think about it".

It's unacceptable, talking back to a teacher like this.

Yes, I don't know... I've had enough of this.

Every parent-teacher meeting is "Tina did this, Tina did that."

I do understand.

With just your grandmother, you're mostly on your own.

But if she can't deal with this,

you need to help her, take her in hand.

And don't mind me saying this, but...

if she won't listen, you need to be more rough,

or she'll just do as she pleases.

I don't mind at all.

You think I haven't punished her?

I know she'll get up to no good if I let her run loose.

I tried everything.

I took her phone, I forbade her to watch TV,

I put her in the corner...

So I moved on to... the proper stuff.

Slaps to her face,

a ruler over her knuckles, rod-whipping on bare skin...

I banged her head against the wall until blood poured from her nose.

I beat her by the book, I know it's the only way.

I don't know what else to do.

You tell me and I'll do it, I promise.

I'll beat the hell out of her, if you ask me to.

I cleaned every corner, to keep myself busy,

but there's still so much time to kill.

I feel off when she's away and I can't take care of her.

Her daughter doesn't even know when to give her the pills.

I also had some limoncello, which didn't help.

So you got drunk and called me.

Drunk, come on!

I had one glass. Maybe two.

I figured I earned it after cleaning the whole house,

so I got a glass of limoncello and had it on the terrace.

Then our neighbour Antonio passed by,

and he greeted me so politely!

As if... I was living here!

You do live there.

Yes, but... As if I owned the house.

So, for a moment, I imagined...

what if it were my house?

I would bring you here, we'd live like...

like two princesses.

No men around.

Or maybe just...

a doorman.

Or a guard, to take care of us.

You know what I did?

What?

I called Giuliano over, we had that limoncello together.

Good for you. And you just had to tell me about it?

Who else can I talk to?

I don't know, make some friends.

Keep a diary.

I just said we had a drink, what's the big deal?

Fine.

Great, now you're angry again.

Want to hear about my dream?

Of course now you want to tell me about the dream.

- You don't want to hear it? - Yes, I do.

So...

I dreamed the skin on my arms was old, full of brown spots,

all fragile, transparent, saggy, as if I had lost a lot of weight.

So I couldn't work.

You know what I did?

I took some wrapping foil, the thin, transparent one,

wrapped it around both forearms,

so I could do my work.

I looked all wrapped up, but at least I could do some work.

What was that?

Nothing.

Fine. I want to go to sleep.

OK, never mind. Did you like the song?

Yep. Though you didn't give me time to listen.

I kept rambling.

I don't feel at ease when the old lady is away.

You're always in this laptop.

You're like a genie in a lamp.

Then what wish can I grant you?

I want you to have long, long telescopic arms.

To reach all the way here.

Hey, look! The brewery!

And Uncle Ghiţă's garage!

And Adi's shack!

And your mum, Dragoş! Look, your mum!

Fucking in the fields!

Lucia! Look, your mum! She's fucking Mickey!

Luca!

Is your dad back?

He's back! I think he's fucking Crina's mum!

You're so stupid.

Why stupid? You missed him, didn't you?

Come on!

Oh, no! Stop! Stop the train!

Stop!

Guys, Luca's dead!

Luca's dead!

Luca!

Luca.

Luca.

Luca.

Shall I make you all something to eat?

An omelette?

Yeah. Yes, thanks a lot.

Say, you like my brother or not?

I do.

Really like him, or?

- It's a bit more complicated. - I don't think so.

If you're undecided, please leave him alone.

He's sensitive, I don't want him to suffer.

I'm sure you understand.

Why are you laughing? I'm serious.

You're right.

Dad, why build so many rooms?

For you! So you have a place to live!

We already do.

I might move back to Romania, you might meet someone.

Sure, and we'll all live here happily!

Dad, honestly. When will you come back?

- When the house is finished. - It is.

Luca, the house must be finished, you understand?

It is finished.

It is not. Stop that nonsense!

You're not coming back, Tina and I want out of this town.

Keep the money, help us later, or whatever.

Luca, boy...

OK, talk later.

Fine, bye.

You, the boy! You're the goalkeeper.

I'll make him think I'm aiming left or right, from the side,

but I'll shoot for the centre.

Too easy!

And that is how you score a goal Tina-style!

Now turn on the water, see if it works.

Yeah, it does.

Well done. Congrats!

I can't get used to you like this.

- Like how? - With that beard.

I got fed up with shaving all the time.

Listen.

You're old enough now.

Glad you noticed!

You think your mum's seeing someone?

I knew you wouldn't call just so.

I called to check on you, too.

Yeah, right.

So?

I don't know, Dad.

Shall I ask her if she's kissed a boy?

If she still wants to be your girl?

Come on, Flavia.

What?

If you're such a big boy, why don't you two solve your own issues?

And talk to each other?

I just want to know.

So ask her.

Fine, sorry.

Maybe it's all in my head.

Yes.

Yes what?

Yes, she's seeing someone.

You mean...

I mean she has someone.

How so?

I mean she's fucking someone, wasn't that the question?

The question is how you found out.

You know what, Dad, I'm not in the mood for this.

Fine then.

- Bye. - Bye.

Bye.

Luca, turn it the hell down! What will the neighbours say?

Hey!

Hey.

Did you know?

What?

I found her this morning.

The paramedics said there was nothing left to do.

We bury her tomorrow.

We should hold a vigil for her, right?

Where's my phone?

Where the fuck is my phone?

I don't know.

Luca!

Luca?

Did you call your dad?

Nope.

You have to call him.

Yeah.

I have to call him, right?

She's his mum.

When she was alive, he didn't call for months.

He'll find out when he calls.

You have to call him.

No.

When he came back, he didn't like the cage we had for him anymore.

So he became a visitor, whenever he felt like it.

Is that Tina?

I can't tell.

Tina?

Tina!

Yes? What is it?

You on your way home?

- Weren't you supposed to be home? - No!

It's midnight.

What, so I'm not allowed out?

No, you're not! It's very late.

See how mean my brother can be?

Nice. Laugh like an idiot.

Listen. As of now, no going out...

After 10.

Fine, but can they sleep at our place?

They ran away from home and have no place to go.

- What do you mean, ran away? - Just that!

Why?

They were too happy there! I don't know.

This is Luca, my brother. She's Flavia, his girlfriend.

She's not my... Whatever.

This here is Dudu, from class C. And Lia, his sister.

Hello!

- Hey. - Hi there.

Just for a night or two.

Sure, you can stay at Luca's.

Sure, you can stay at Luca's!

Let's go then.

Won't your parents look for you?

No.

- How come? - Just so.

Where do you live?

You don't want to say?

You'll take us back home.

We won't, we promise!

Then why do you want to know?

Tina said we can crash here for a few days, there'll be no parents.

But we can leave if it's a problem.

There is no problem.

Let's talk tomorrow.

Perfect. Let's go to my room.

Let's go!

Wow!

Say, you like it?

It looks off, doesn't it?

No! That's not what I meant.

Still got some of that olive oil?

Think so, yeah.

I'll send you some in the next parcel.

Why? You'll be here very soon.

Honey, I wanted to tell you...

Nonna said she'd pay me double if I stay two more months.

- So until August. - End of August, you mean.

Yes, but it's a lot of money. And it's for you too.

And when were you going to tell me?

Were you going to call a day before and say the plane crashed on a desert island?

- God, don't say that! - Why not?

Calm down. I promise I'll be home on August 30th.

I'm buying the ticket tomorrow.

So what happened to the other ticket?

You never bought one, did you?

You knew you weren't coming. Since when?

I just found out!

You're lying!

Don't get so worked up!

Please understand, it's a lot of money. It's why I came here, after all.

I'll show you the ticket tomorrow.

Why the hell are you lying to me?

That's what kills me! The constant lying!

While I wait here like an idiot, thinking of all the fun we'll have!

Cooking, taking trips... Why not tell me as soon as you knew?

I don't know. I was afraid you'd get mad.

Really? You afraid of me now?

See, this is exactly what I was afraid of.

Mum, you're the adult here.

What can I do? Put you in the corner?

You'd say the same even if I was home.

- I don't even feel like coming back. - Thanks for being honest, at least now.

I shouldn't have said that, forgive me.

But I forgot, I really did!

Know what, Mum? I don't care anymore.

Call me only when you're here.

When you're downstairs.

"Honey, come help with the luggage."

Until then, I don't care.

August, July, September, 2050...

They might invent teleportation by then!

- Honey! - When you call me honey...

It's like I'm talking to an AI!

Bye!

Hey. Mum loves you, OK?

Hi!

- You got scared? Why? - Yes.

Dunno.

You can have more.

Cucumber superpower!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Cucumber, freeze!

And another cucumber, freeze!

I'll use...

You can't!

You can't move when you're frozen, just speak!

You're not allowed to move your feet!

Right, now I'll use the magic onion,

because there's a new rule about the magic onion.

He pushed me!

Now, magic onion...

- Now what? - What do you mean?

Shouldn't we inform someone?

No, why?

I think they'll go back in a few days anyway.

I don't know.

Your legs have that fluff on them.

A stupid cow at school bullied me, so I shaved with Luca's razor.

Grandma warned me it will only grow back thicker, but I didn't believe.

- Don't ever shave. - I won't.

Ever kissed a boy?

Yes.

Disgusting, right?

Yeah.

Can I be your best friend?

Sure.

Awesome!

I can't talk about anything with that annoying Raluca.

I don't think I'll ever be like this with a boy.

Like what?

Like I am with you. Just hanging, talking.

By the radiator!

Over there. Perfect!

- Sandman, Sandman... - Sleep tight!

What are you doing? Everyone sleeps on the floor!

Put the mattress over here!

OK. Sorry. Come on.

The bedsheets!

True. Where are they?

- I don't know. - It's your house!

- Let's look for them. - Try the closet.

There was...

...a country and a small town in it.

Right.

And...

People around there were neither rich nor poor.

Hey, Tina. Something wrong there?

Tina!

Where are you? Are you alright?

Talk to me!

Say, Daddy, how are you doing?

I'm fine, don't you worry about me.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the funeral.

I know.

It's fine.

How is Luca? Still angry with me?

Kind of... yeah.

He'll get over it.

Go to sleep, muffin.

I'll try.

Well then.

Well, go ahead, you wanted this family meeting.

Yeah, well.

Look, Flavia...

You know me and your dad don't get along anymore.

Yes, you've been saying. I assume you want a divorce now.

Well... yes.

You told her already?

I didn't tell her anything.

Don't know what took you so long.

I figured it out, Dad. It's not that hard.

Anyways, thanks for letting me know.

And...

All the best!

Or whatever you say for such occasions.

Congrats?

Flavia, have you no shame?

You want me to cry?

Beg you to make up? For my sake?

No. Fine with me either way.

Flavia...

I know it must come as a shock to you...

Not at all!

I told you, I was expecting it. I don't see why all this mystery.

We considered what's best for you...

Oh my.

And we think it's best for you

if starting autumn you come live with one of us.

We know it is a tough choice, and you need some time.

No need!

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, Shits a crow, you get the throw.

Congrats, Mum, you win!

Flavia!

What?

I don't need time to think. I'm not going anywhere.

Why should I move there?

What great things have you accomplished there?

Honey, I know you're angry now,

but sometimes we do know better.

What do you know? Really.

You know nothing.

I don't have to tell you about my plans anyway.

Since when?

Since you left sneaking out that night.

Did anyone ask me anything then? No!

You know what the situation was.

I don't know how to say this...

My parents...

are dead.

There was an accident.

And they died.

Far from me, in a foreign country...

I waited and waited for them to return...

and now they have...

But I didn't think you'd come back like this!

I'm so, so sorry. There's been a mix-up.

I mean some people died, yes...

But my parents are OK.

And, yeah, I'm very sorry!

Thanks for all your words and wishes! Much appreciated.

Right. Thanks. Kisses.

It's like we were kidnapped! Don't you want to kidnap us?

That's what we're doing.

Is it something that's close to us? Physically?

Not really physically. But it exists, in theory.

You guess the answer, you win.

- Hey! - Hey.

- Sorry, I overreacted yesterday. - It's OK.

Flavia.

- I wanted to apologise... - Stop it, really.

You've been basically divorced a long time.

I went over the top.

I wasn't referring to that.

But I'm so very sorry.

What for?

I know it's been hard for you all these years.

Really? Now you want to talk about it?

- We haven't been talking about this. - No, Mum, we haven't.

I want you to know I've been thinking about this.

How hard it was for you, all alone.

- What have you been reading? - Nothing.

I've been thinking how hard it's been for you.

You don't know how things were before I left.

Yes, I got that part.

I know it's a bit late to talk about this.

We should have talked long ago, Mum.

- Why are you doing this? - What?

I'm trying to talk to you, tell you I'm sorry...

What are you doing now? Crying, seriously?

That's what you always did. You cried, but still you left.

Listen: we finish this conversation and never talk about it again. OK?

Alright.

I just want you to know I'm sorry.

Alright.

- You spoke with your mum? - Yeah.

Is that why you're upset? Because you miss her?

Yes.

Don't you miss your mum?

- No. - Maybe a little?

- I don't believe you. - Suit yourself.

Dudu's the only one I really care about.

How much does your mum send you a month?

400. Euros.

That's good.

Coming!

Will you catch it if I let go?

Sure?

- What else can we throw? - Sorry?

I don't know!

Hold on to me if you want.

Do you know what's written there? Can you tell me? Please?

I think it was "veve vivi". Can't remember.

But do you know what it does?

There's one for falling asleep, multiplication, disappearance...

Disappearance.

This one is big.

It's harder to pull out, but not impossible.

Nevertheless, it's heavy.

We're here for 20 minutes and we ran out of food.

What have you done?

Why did you do that?

What did it do to you?

Oh, great.

Hey!

- Hey! - Hey.

There's a girl with a dog outside.

Let me show you something.

Hi there!

Hi! Lucia, how are you?

Hi, I'm good.

This is Dudu. Lucia, Flavia's classmate.

So, you two have children already?

Tina brought them in, they ran away from home.

What?

We couldn't leave them out there.

Not on the streets, but...

Don't be stupid, you have to call the police!

We will.

We will!

Actually, we promised them we wouldn't.

- But we will. - Will we?

We will. Anyway, they said there's no one looking for them.

Of course they said that, they ran away from home.

Does it mean it's true?

Yeah, I know!

- We'll keep them just a bit longer. - Why don't you tell her?

We're going to adopt them.

- OK. You're both nuts. - Aren't we?

And the girl outside?

Lia. She's Dudu's sister.

What's the matter with her? She was staring like...

She had a little fight with Tina, it's OK.

Not OK! I'm still upset!

Fine. You'll get over it.

- But you're coming to the party? - Yes.

- Honest? - Yes!

- Yes? - We'll be there!

Dear woman, I invite you to connect to a moment with yourself,

with that authentic, divine part of who you truly are.

Open up to receive the wisdom of the Divine Feminine

which also resides inside you.

Allow yourself to revive the feminine energy inside you

in order to manifest it at every moment of your life.

Because this is your superpower.

What are you doing?

I have come on this journey in a woman's body,

and I intend to manifest as one.

I adore feminine energy.

OK, no more.

Really, guys, you can't fucking control yourselves?

Her voice is so funny I can't help it!

Focus.

I can feel the gentleness of my soul.

- But why? - To relax. It's for relaxation.

I connect to my powers.

OK. Please.

I hold within my womb the entire force of creation.

I love nature. It is my home.

Why be calm?

OK, you're an idiot.

I mean it, why be calm? Look around!

If anything, we should be hysterical.

What do you guys think?

Three days and no one's looking for them, get it?

If they come back, fine, if not, fuck it, one nuisance less.

What kind of people wouldn't even notice they're gone?

Luca!

Or maybe you killed them.

If you killed them, I'll hide you from the police.

Stop that! They haven't killed their parents!

Yes we have.

That's why no one's looking for us.

Want to know how we did it?

Yes.

Yes, we do.

A bit of gloss on top and you're good.

- There. - It smells like apples.

Rub them together.

And this?

That's glitter.

For your eyelids.

Look at me.

Close your eyes, that's right.

It's great to have your dad away for work.

- Too much? - Nah, that's perfect.

A bit for your eyes. You'll love it.

- You'll get it in his eyes. - I won't.

Poor you!

- Ready. - Your sister's torturing you.

There.

HAVE A SUCCESSFUL LIFE

Bye now.

I knew you'd do that.

Dudu?

No, no, this won't do.

He does that sometimes. Leave him alone.

Is he OK?

Who is he talking to?

That way, that way! Listen to me!

This won't do.

No, no, that just won't do!

We have to risk it. That way, quick!

We're getting closer, getting closer! Run!

I told you not to touch him. Why are you touching him?

It's because you touched him.

Dudu, wait. It's OK.

Dudu, it's OK.

Come on.

Are you upset?

You don't want to talk to me?

It's fine if you don't want to.

Like the ones Dad sent us! Remember, Luca?

- I remember you ate them all! - That's not true!

Look.

It goes like this.

There.

Right over the fire.

- Dudu, which one do you want? - A red one.

Red?

Allora fragola!

- Hold it closer to the fire. - And you?

What do you like best? Peppers, onions?

- That's so cool! - You want it? Here.

Peppers and onions.

Wow. OK.

Hold it closer. I'll do it.

Pity it's too big for me. But it would fit you, try it on.

Try it on. Don't you want it?

It's like, for free!

Stand up.

Let's see how it looks on you.

Get up, come on!

It'd look so good on you, try it on.

How sweet. Thanks.

What else shall we burn?

Dudu, you want to burn something? Throw in whatever you want!

Whatever you want!

Wait, wait!

Where will you go?

Do you have a place to go?

Yes.

You can't. You can't go alone.

Yes we can. We didn't run away to stay here with you.

Take this.

You'll need it.

Take it.

Take it.

Thanks.

Flavia!

Flavia!

Flavia!

Flavia!

Why won't you answer?

- Guys! - Let them search some more.

Are you OK?

I found some mushrooms and ate them.

I think they were the wrong kind.

Are you serious?

What if I'm poisoned?

Want to kiss?

Scared, aren't you?

I knew you were a coward.

What's wrong with you?

Flavia.

Would you look at us, how we keep consoling each other.

The great consolation.

It's sweet, it is! But it's so very boring.

Until when, Flavia?

Until tonight, when you get scared and call me again?
