He will clear all your sorrows and concerns,

You shall leave this place completely healed, both in the body and soul.

You shall stand and walk, but beware ! He can come in at any time...

Be ready to receive him.

You won't see him because blind eyes don't look outside but at what's inside...

but you'll feel him inside your bodies as I did when I conceived him.

the children... at home... no...

his hands on the little girl... not she... no

i don't feel you any more!

don't leave me I'm so afraid, it's all so dark...

i just can't pay. not in these conditions.

I'm losing out, I'm never going to make it...

i'll take a train, that's it

I know so many funny tales... really so many...

sure, the train, here what.

the light ! here comes the light !

the eye !

oh mother... - why ? why didn't you come ? - help me mother...

day, night... all the time by the window...

I've already forgiven her. Tell her !

She's coming ! sshh! here she comes ! sshh ! sshh !

there is no one left ... no one... I'm alone, alone...

leave me alone. leave me.

there's no time left.

one minute. It's enough for me. Just one minute.

I'm Marisa. Me. Me. Me... Marisa it's me...

Me, me, me, ME !

to come...to sleep... to leave... to come...

come once again, please! one more time ! I want to see you !

I'm waiting on the door for you ! Can't you hear me calling ? Why don't you listen ?

Come on ! Wake up you all ! wake up ! It's over, all over !

Do you feel better now ?

Don't you feel relieved ?

Rouse yourselves ! You're free !

Soon you'll go out and take some fresh air. Wake up.

Goodbye Madam.

See? That advertisement on the newspaper really did wonders.

I' didn't expect so many customers.

but we must insist. Enlarge the business.

Then we'll keep just the very best...

...the more profitable among them.

But I dont like everybody.

Are you tired ?

Have something to eat.

They mucked up again !

I know, I know. I'm cleaning .

It's disgusting !

Don't be silly.

It will be clean again in a moment.

Surely I'm not complaining about this.

Thinking that we should live off your poor dad's retirement...

What would be so wrong with doing that ?

It's not much, dear son, too little money.

You just don't realize, but there's food, bills, instalments to pay...

Buying all this stuff was definitely superfluous.

I want a gorgeous house !

And this house has been a one-in-a-lifetime bargain !

Come on, arrange those chairs in place. There are more customers coming.

I've scheduled some private meetings now.

Important people ! Good patrons !

Someone of them would need a good serious punishment, didn't you see ?

I know, I know.

I don't like them, either.

Do they show some progress, at least? Did you notice amends ?

Don't ask for too much. It's always possible to help a little someone of them, but with patience.

Lots of patience.

They look pretty satisfied, anyway.

and what really matters, they must return. Just this.

Good afternoon, I phoned this morning. - Please come in. I was waiting for you.

Give it to me, please.

Make yourself at home. Sorry for all this mess...

...we receive a lot of people. Have a seat, please.

Curious hands you have !

Let's take a deeper look at them.

Let me see...

You have pretty interesting hands.

you must be a rather tough one, it is incredible...

these hands must be inspected carefully...

here, there is something ...

I see a still point. Have you been seriously ill ?

Yes, when a small child I was near to die ! - I knew that.

but since then everything rushes. Even too much, too much ...

I see many episodes overlapped, each one affects another, all together they make a tangle.

You stay in the middle, calm, because you got control over them...

...and fortune takes care of what you can't control.

See her spinning around here and solving problems.

your character is strong, assertive. You always get what you want...

...no matter if it takes a long struggle.

An important deal will end successfully thanks to your perseverance...

...a major monetary gain will result.

But don't be blind ! There is a man loving you madly and secretly suffering for you, in the shadow.

Who's that man ? What's his name ? Just the first letter !

Not yet. It is hard to read.

Perhaps you'll need to come here once again.

Happines can be just around the corner. But you still have to grab it...

...defeat the adverse forces. Have confidence.

Please let me meet him... help me flying away with him !

one, two, three...one two three...

The queen of spades is being held prisoner in the tower.

The Emperor watches her...

...she can't meet the Jack of Swords.

Who the hell is the Emperor ?

He's the man who holds the power. Money.

Then the Queen of spades could be my wife! And what about that Jack of Swords ?

I didn't get that. Ours is a big family, ve've two sons and two daughters too. The last just a few months old.

Then there is grandma and my brother-in-law, with a grown up son.

We own three household appliances stores and we are in need of all working hands.

We enlarged our house and I took care for the needs of everybody. I'm the man in charge.

But I can't watch everybody !

The least thing I'd wish would be something secret going on in my own home, something hidden that I ignore...

...mine has always been an honorable family...

...can't you be more explicit about this issue ? About my wife...

..about her last-born son.

Give me, please.

How many people...

...at the end of such a day I'm tired, yet happy.

- here, have some more. -Please, I'm fed up.

Eat, some more meat will be just good for you !

come on, have some more, you are such a paleface my son !

You really gave that poor man the shits today when you appeared with his coffee !

Even I was scared !

Careful, dont be so stealthy and please make some noise before appearing... you frighten them way too much !

I came when you called me.

I have my own ways to call for help when I need it, isn't it ?

He was asking for too many details.

Some family entanglements I knew nothing about...

...lucky that you came at the right time!

It's easier with coffee.

He wanted to know everything about each card...

...but he's a good customer.

Think that he owns three appliances stores !

With all the troubles he's into he's going to return here pretty often.

He's such a drag...

...anyway, one's got to respect rich people.

some of them instead pay without a second thought, no matter the price.

they are asking for nothing particular, just hearing something about themselves makes them look pretty vacant.

see how much some get frightened? During «magnetic» sessions there is always someone soiling around.

Many of those coming today are doomed.

Doomed ? What do you mean by that ?

Among those of this morning there is one man who will die soon...

...in a certain sense he is already dead.

...and about that woman with the flower dress...

...she will give birth to a deaf mute child within six months.

That man which had the coffee is ferociously hated by his own family...

...someone will bite his little child one day, and the truth will be finally revealed.

How can you know these things ?

Don't mess up with the lives of our guests, I beg you,leave them alone...

I beg you, it can be HELL !

We've got to draw dad's retirement.

I'm busy now, with all this work.

I'll do that.

By God, it's late! I've still got to buy something to eat !

Today I cooked some real tasty boiled stew !

My family hates that ! It's so difficult finding some good meat, nowadays !

I also love cooking a good risotto !

Oh, that's tasty !

(heavy sicilian pitch) Here, what a scent huh ?

Well...

(strong northern pitch) How on earth can you ignore that ? It's the most organic hardcore one...

damn, I can't recall the name but i remember the tune: it goes taa taaa taaa...

sure, now I remember !

What the hell is that god damn clerk doing ?

Haste makes waste !

Leave me ! Leave me ! I'm innocent ! - why are they being that rude ?

What was he guilt of ?

He's a crook.

A fake disabled worker...

Yet his arm was missing for real !

What matters is how he lost it ! An arm may well be worth nothing !

Still he's maimed, poor soul !

(old man's voice) Death to the government, long live anarchy !

What's this good for, now? - It applies, trust me.

Please, keep the queue.

I want to go home, my back hurts...

(southern dialect) Listen. I told him he couldn't make it.

be kind sonny, try for me.

I ripped off 'em ! I'm not disabled, it's a trick !

...but what about you ? who's the holder of your cheque ?

My father.

Disabled ?

Nope, he died five years ago.

How ?

Working at the subway.

How many fell victims of those damned pigs !

where are you bringing me to ? Put your hands off me ! Pigs ! Sons of bitches ! Crocks of shit ! Stop this !

Mom ! My back !

My baaaack !

Yes, yes ...

Gosh, you're filthy ! Where did you get that soiled ?

We've got to hurry. I'm filled with appointments.

Tell me, father died in the gallery or they managed to bring him outside living ?

They brought him out still alive. He died as soon as he saw daylight.

And who carried him out ?

His comrades.

He had a whole lot of friends, isn't it ?

He always had many ones ! Everyone liked him, down in the gallery.

How did that go exactly ?

I told you that one million times now. He was run over by a train while fixing rails.

After a while you can't hear anything down there, they say .

Who knows, maybe he was absentminded or concerned about something.

Poor soul... he deceived himself believing that he could make it just working !

But we were short of money all the time.

Maybe he was just concerned about money when he was hit by the train...

heavens, we were really poor... even poorer than when we left our village for the city !

come on, stand up.

But from now on we'll be in straits no more !

If things keep going like this soon we'll can afford buying a sumptuous flat in an affluent neighborhood !

but we need to gather more opulent customers before that.

we already got some fat ones but we need more of them. All the rest is penniless rabble.

get out now.

mmhh, you smell good now !

come on, dry up or you'll catch a cold.

I'm going for your clean clothes.

do you know if donkey teeth have power ?

I'm clueless ! In fact I know very little of the Arts.

My mother instead, your grandma, she was a real, mighty sorceress !

she knew how to pay back people with some eerie tricks, when she wished so.

sure she knew how to make donkeys fly !

or maybe those things happened just thanks to our hot southern sun, country herbs, plants...

...some animals too, but who knows ?

or maybe even because of whole genuine food,cheese,bread,milk... pure oil !

damn, what time is it ?

dress up, quick ! it's our guests !

no, i don't leave me alone !

oh John, come back ! John, come to me !

...back, come back !

You won't see him.

but He will come and touch you with his hands.

He will purify your waste...

...wipe away your fear and sorrow.

You won't be able to see him...

...but you'll feel him in your body...

...as i did when i conceived and generated him.

he's truly blood of my blood,

...offered by me to heal all of your woes.

My son !

I can walk.

i feel tired, and the road...

...the road is way too long.

they're over...

I'm exhausted, exhausted. I've no more strenght left...

...I just can't stand this any longer.

What's going on ?

I woke up. Can't sleep.

I'm frightened.

Come here. Here with me.

I was afraid as well, short ago.

because of you !

why you were so mean to our guests today ?

because they're insincere. They disguise themselves...

...and one of them was an informer, for sure.

don't talk such nonsense ! You will just scare customers away !

They will come back, trust me...

lean close to me, let's sleep. Let's sleep.

Good afternoon, please come in.

I've already been there once...

I remember that. Make yourself at home.

I'll take care of this.

Please, get in.

won't you have a seat? are you afraid ?

Surely not, of course.

I'm simply a bit concerned...

You know, I've got to take a few resolutions...

Not me, to be honest... I need to know if certain decision will be taken.

'cause you see, my life...

sure, sure,dear girl but don't tell me all.

please show me your hands.

relax them.

it's the first time that you have them read, right ?

Yes, first time.

I knew that. They're untouched.

Each line ... where a contact is, there is a positive mark.

the mark is repeated.

I wouldn't bother, if I were in your place.

Everything will happen according to your wishes...

Your hand is very clear.

The only adverse forces are within yourself.

But this is not a bad thing: it's a sign of inner deepness.

The lines of head and heart are separated.

Thoughts are thorny. Your heart doesn't get near to them, thorns keep it at large.

. . .heart wins.

Did you know that there's a man much in love with you ?

but it is not a straightforward love...

...and it's all your fault. Didn't you realize this ?

I'm engaged. I'm just about to marry.

If this is what you are concerned about, i can assure you that this marriage isn't facing any external obstacles.

more than this you'll have soon a child, I am sure of this.

There are still many things waiting to be discovered.

Let's query the tarots.

Queen of swords...

...the Sun...

...strenght.

and here you have the Lovers. You won't miss love.

It's gonna be of a deep kind. You'll have a child.

here we can see the confirm. An angel.

the tarots spoke out. - sure ? isn't a way to be sure of this...

...that he will actually marry me?

can I have something that will grant this ? Can't you give me that?

yes, it's possible. But it's a dangerous thing to try...

...won't be easy to do.

you're making a talisman, isn't it ?

yes, it's for a girl who's about to marry. She will take it tomorrow. Help me with this.

but this is salt !

what did you expect ?

and this is sawdust !

and there are dried peas, too... for that stupid girl. She wants it whatever the cost.

it's just useless rubbish !

that's obvious !

what do you like for dinner ?

I'm not hungry.

it's you ! can't you sleep ?

sleep with me.

what's wrong with you?

still ! don't move ! don't move !

i want a real talisman ! you know that, you must tell me what it takes !

what are its ingredients ?

I don't know ! I don't know !

Lie ! you know that since when you generated me... why did you conceive me otherwise?

you'll have to tell me, you'll confess all of your secrets !

I know nothing ! Nothing !

liar ! you gave birth to me ! you know everything ! tell me the elements !

I want a powerful talisman !

I don't know ! I dont know !!!

I swear this !

I can't reveal those things !

That would unleash Hell !!!

I want that ! you must tell me !

[mute]

Hey ! You !

Hey ! What are you doing here ?

[sicilian dialect] who's him ?

I don't know that one. -Isn't he poor Tarantino's son ? Looks just like him !

Why could he do into this hell ? -it's just him, trust me !

[dialect] Call him, then. -Tarantinooo ! -see? he didn't answer. Back to work !

Here, that's all. The tarots have nothing more to tell.

Refrain from adding details not belonging any more to this matter.

Be content with my plain, simple words. I'm willing to return your money if you wish so.

But I'm afraid to fail. I'm scared, I need assurance and you can give me that.

Give me what you promised, please !

Don't talk so loud !

Avoid being heard !

Take this then.You asked for it.

No, don't touch it! Maybe you still can escape from that !

I didn't manufacture it myself... I don't know what it can bring to you.

I'm scared to death too.

Remember, there are things in life that no one can control.

I warned you ! Leave this home now, go away ! Go !

Why did you come here again ?

I urgently need your advice.

That's fine, come in. You know you're always welcome here.

Make yourself at home.

What do you need to know now ?

Did you know that we fixed the date of our wedding ? next month, the 15th.

We're about to buy our house and all the furniture.

I'm happy at last.

I want to know what will happen to me during these days I longed for so much.

I want to know each single day.

Mario !

We'll place here the drinks cabinet, here the armchair and here the table !

That's really a nice accomodation !

What do you think about papering all the walls, darling ? Some fine wallpaper !

With stripes in gradients of soft colors.

Won't that be too expensive ?

That would be awesome. A truly impressive house.

I filled out the list of guests. Guess how many ? About 35 !

Our invitations went fairly well.

I believe we made a good bargain here. It is a great flat, isn't it darling ?

Let's get married right away. No more waiting.

I'm frightened.

Which company dispatched you here ?

Is it all right ?

Excuse me !

It's him ! Catch him, he's the one ! Catch him !

[voices] Catch him ! Come on !

Where did you go ? I've been waiting for you all day long !

Strolling around here and there... I had some fun !

Careful, go easy with that...something could happen to you .

What ? I'm invisible !

You little fool !

Together we're awesome... they are scared shitless !

Let me guess, aren't you looking for building C, flat 26 , by any chance ? -Precisely!

You're all on the wrong way ! You have to go down, cross the courtyard...

go upstairs to the fourth floor, and then fall headlong ! fall ! fall ! FALL !

what shall we do now ?

why not going hunting for ... [unintelligible] ?

Rheumatism is plaguing me again.

My back hurts all over.

Let me do that.

Pay attention, don't hurt me, got it ?

Heavens, I'm so tired... all those customers...

Sure thing !

I took good care of this... I placed signals everywhere !

Hurts ? - No, go on.

Like this ? -Yes.

so... go up.

know what ? That little stupid girl is pregnant.

seriously ? how did you know ?

She dropped in today crying like a fountain. Not to mention how much she begged...

did you accept ?

what else could I do ? I took pity on her. She is so stupid.

Then we'll need to arrange everything... and ask some people over !

sure that you won't chicken out? won't you back out at the eleventh hour ?

no.

lie down.

silence please !

someone's at the door. can't you hear ? Open up please.

[chatter] leave me alone ! clear my way ! hands off ! [voices: how old is she ? looks just like a child !]

would you announce me to the lady?

she's in the kitchen, she asked to be left alone.

it's an urgent delivery, what's she doing ?

no one knows anything here, we're all just waiting...

the bones...

the bladder, the liver, the veins...

the lungs, the diaphragm, the muscles...

the arteries, the right side, the left side... the right eye, the throat, the kidneys, the tighs

the feet, the arms, the hands, the tongue, the nerves, the ligaments, the brain...

...the head, the neck, the shoulders, the arms, the chest, the lungs, the tongue, the stomach, the liver, the heart, the nerves...

May I take a look ?
