NETFLIX PRESENTS

Bianca!

Don't be silly. Let me down.

Come on! Hurry up.

All right, over here.

No! Ciccio, don't be silly!

Wait.

- Bianca, come on. Let's go. It's late. - Ciccio!

Let me down!

Bianca, come on!

- Here we are! - Come on. It's late.

Bianca.

Turn around.

Will I see you tonight?

At the house near the cemetery.

Next to the fountain.

Jesus Christ. What's wrong with you? Come on.

- Yes, what's wrong with you? - Come on. Let's go.

- Hey, not a word. - You're a devil.

- Bye. - Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Rocco, what are you doing?

Always eating this rubbish!

Go!

- Want to help Grandma? - Yes.

- Can you do it? - Yes.

Look. Just like this.

We make it long first and then thin. Try.

These are bad for you.

How many times do I have to tell you? How many?

Leave him alone. Nobody's ever died from them.

This is what you should eat. Understand?

Here.

What time did Ciccio come back last night?

Listen, I said no. I'm not coming into town with you today.

I'll go by myself, then.

Bianca, you're playing with fire.

Ciccio's married and has kids. Do you understand?

Cosimo, we need water here!

- Everyone knows it. - Give me an olive.

These are really good!

You can stop now. Food's here. Stop!

Come and eat!

Come on. Let's have this sandwich.

They need water, Cosimo.

Just a bit of cheese, please.

- How are these sandwiches? - Good.

Enjoy them.

Well done.

Cosimo.

Are you all right?

You've been in the sun too long.

Go inside the barn.

You're done for today.

Go on.

- Won't you even stop to say hi? - Linda.

You have no time for me, but you do for Schettino's daughter.

- Everyone knows in the village. - Be a good girl. Go home.

Daddy!

Rocchino!

- So, did you see what I brought? - Yes.

You like it? What shall we call her?

She's black.

She's black. Let's call her Blackie.

- Okay? - Yes.

Take the rope. Take it.

Let's put her here.

That's good. Let's tie her here. Where's mom?

- I don't know. - What do you mean, you don't know?

Hey! You little rascal!

- Do you love Daddy? - Yes.

Good boy.

Keep an eye on her. Okay?

Luci!

Lucia?

I fell asleep…

You've really taken after my father, you know?

When you were little, he used to hold you and say,

"Nine, he's not even two, and listen to how he talks!"

"He'll be able to do whatever he wants in life."

But now…

What's wrong with this head of yours? What's wrong?

Stop it!

Have you ever thought about leaving this place, Mom?

To go live somewhere else…

with different people speaking a different language.

No.

I'm happy here

with my children.

Antonio didn't write this month.

Has he forgotten about us?

Antonio?

Antonio will always be there. He thinks about us every month.

I want to leave this place.

You have such beautiful hair.

What are you wearing underneath? Show me.

- Show me what's under your shirt. - No.

- Please. No. - Show me.

No?

Go on. Turn around! Open your legs.

- Maria. - Hey, Ciccio.

- Where's your husband? - He's still in town with the girls.

He's still in town? Did you make coffee?

I just made it. Take a seat.

Thanks.

It's good. Better than the Rodolfo Cafe's.

What idea did you put in my husband's head?

You know all too well what happens to those who oppose the mayor.

- Are you scared? - I have two daughters. Do you understand?

- You want them to live in this shit? - I don't want to raise them by myself!

Next.

Name.

Domenico Stigliano.

- How many olives do you have? - Two tomoli.

Two? Well done!

There you go.

Is that it, sir?

This money won't even last me three months.

I have two children. I've worked the land for a whole year.

Do you think this is easy?

It's not easy.

There are taxes to be paid to the government.

And who pays them? You?

Do you pay them?

I pay them! Get that into your head!

Here.

And that's it.

You can go now.

Next.

- Name. - Ciccio Paradiso.

What the fuck is he doing?

This year, olives are 2,000 lire per 100 kg.

And who will buy them?

I will.

Ciccio,

I have three lovely tomoli near the river.

I'll have two more ready in a week.

I'll buy them.

No more easy money!

Enough of these out-of-towners sucking our blood!

This year, the oil will be paid for and not given away.

Hey! What's with the long faces? The next round is on me!

No sleeping tonight!

Yeah!

Ciccio!

Ciccio!

Hoe the soil!

Let's make a toast!

- Hi. - Hi.

Hi, Mom.

Did you hear what happened?

Mario wanted to set himself on fire. Do you know why?

His 13-year-old son, Pinuccio, died while he was working.

The police pretend nothing happened.

We're sitting here eating…

I don't want to hear this talk in my house.

Do you know how much those bastards Buccella, Cataldo, Schettino pay per day?

400 shitty lire! 400 lire, Dad! One liter of milk is 100 lire!

Mind your family's business, not other people's shit!

Hey! Please.

Maria, the bread.

Where were you last night?

Lucia, please.

Why don't you answer your wife?

You really don't like this house anymore, do you?

You're just like your grandfather.

- Whose legs were you between last night? - All right.

Do these women have honey between their legs?

Lucia, please.

Go on then.

Go to your whores! Go!

- Look. - What is it?

Where did you get that?

This…

My aunt

helped an American soldier

who was sick.

And he left this to her.

What's he saying?

Who knows? It's French.

It's beautiful though.

It's wonderful.

We should travel.

Meet new people.

We can't die here.

Let's go to Paris.

And maybe we can even learn French.

So we can understand what this beautiful song says.

You're so beautiful.

Every time I see you,

it's like my head's on fire. I don't understand anything anymore.

My hands sweat and my legs shake.

Bianca.

For the respect that I show you, my friend,

you have to talk to this bastard.

You have to!

You have to make him shit his pants! He has to understand who's in charge!

You own 50 hectares of wheat and olives! Fifty!

So you are the boss, right?

You are!

Not him!

I pay 2,000 lire per 100 kg only to you and nobody else!

So you need to talk to him.

You have to bring him here, and he has to apologize to me.

Don Luigi, you have my word.

I will talk to Ciccio, but…

if he's taken after his father, it's going to be hard.

- Let me try. And I'll let you know. - Thanks.

I have a demijohn of good oil for you. My son's got it ready downstairs.

You're always so kind. Thanks.

- I owe you, Don Luigi. - Thank you.

Tonight, I want the Gentile family here,

the Varasanos, the Donadios, the Moranos, the Pellittas and the Pastores.

I want them all here tonight.

I'll take care of Ciccio.

- Hi, Vincenzo. - I'll see you later. Bye.

Cosimo Schettino inside the church?

It must be a miracle. Is he going to take the vows?

You're playing with fire.

If Schettino knows you're seeing Bianca, you'll have two options.

You either marry her, or you marry her.

And I think you're married already.

Leave it alone.

You've got lots of women.

Vince, she's not just a woman.

When she laughs at night, she makes the sun come out.

But you can't understand. Nobody can.

Ciccio…

- Let's go get a beer. - Ci.

- Ci. - Let's go.

You're such a dickhead!

Get off me! Always fucking around.

Ciccio, wait.

Tonino.

Schettino wants to talk to you. He says it's important.

Calm down. We'll go in together. And we'll show him.

Will you calm down?

- No, we'll go in together! - I don't give a shit!

- I've had enough! - Stop it.

We'll beat the shit out of him!

- Stop it. Get lost! - Enough, Ciccio!

Listen, Vincenzo. Let me do the talking. I'll handle it.

May I?

Come on in. Cosimo, get him a chair.

A nice glass of wine. What do you say?

Bianca, bring some wine.

Do you know my daughter, Bianca?

No.

Cheers.

Cheers.

How's your family?

Your wife's name is Lucia, right?

Wait. And your son is…

- Rocchino. - Rocchino. Are they good?

Good. Thanks.

Do you know how long I've known your family?

When we were young, your father and I were like brothers.

Even more than that.

Your grandfather was my godfather. Did you know?

Then he met a girl and went to America.

And he left your grandmother with three children.

Do you know how old the girl was? She was 16.

Your grandfather was 55!

No, thank you.

So,

what's this story about the olives?

You know better than me.

Yes, but Don Luigi told me

that the other night, at Palladino's tavern, you…

Yeah, right.

He built his fortune on the shoulders of the poor people.

The families sweat blood on the land for a whole year.

Then he comes, and without doing shit, he earns three times as much.

Mr. Schettino,

I'm like my father.

Nobody has ever bent me.

And if someone wants to wage war against me,

it'll be a mess.

Tell your friend.

We hoe the soil.

We make the price.

You're right.

Well said.

You've got balls, kid. That's for sure.

Just like your father.

You can't help it.

Blood is blood.

All right.

Go now. I have things to do.

Cosimo, show him out.

Thanks for coming.

How did it go?

Good evening, Don Luigi.

Could you give me a ride into town?

What do you want? For heaven's sake, what do you want?

They're all asleep in heaven now.

I get it. Do you want money?

Help!

He's crawling. He crawls like a pig.

Piece of shit!

Fifteen thousand lire.

Piece of shit.

Enough, Domenico. Enough!

Let's go.

You're my flower.

Hi.

Are you crazy?

- Come. - Ciccio, what are you doing?

- Let's go to the barn. - No, I can't.

Ciccio.

Come here.

If my father finds out, it'll be a mess.

Sooner or later, he will find out.

Bianca.

Bianca.

When I'm with you, it's like…

It's like time stops.

And I hear music.

Bianca.

I want to always be with you.

But don't you love Lucia?

Yes.

But you're a different thing.

Something that doesn't exist here.

There are lots of olives this year.

They won't be able to pick them all.

We can't just throw money away.

We spent the night together,

the whole night.

In the barn? You're out of your mind.

You'll end up a nun.

Go into town and see if anyone wants to work for us.

When did he leave?

I don't know. It was morning, and I left first.

I'm going to get some hay.

One of the horses is limping.

We need to shoe it again.

Cosimo, I'll go with you.

- Did you hear that? - No.

What is it?

It must be a fox.

But I...

Cosimo, I can't hear...

- It's probably just an animal... - Maria!

Wait, Cosimo!

You…

You go and get the hay for Dad, or he'll be mad.

- We need to close this up. - The food will be ready soon.

I'm going in.

Ciccio?

Ci!

Holy mother of God!

Do what I say.

- Has he gone? - Yes, he's gone.

Listen, get out of the window, quick.

- Bye, Maria. - Hurry up!

Mr. Schettino, I respect you,

but Don Luigi's been sucking our children's blood forever.

Are you talking to me about respect?

When your wife was sick, who helped you?

You did.

When you needed something, whose door did you knock on?

Yours.

This is respect.

Not what you talk about.

But waging war won't help anyone.

And we want to live in peace.

Lucia.

Rocchino, get off there.

What are you doing?

Where did you find these?

Come here.

Go home, now!

Go home. Go.

When I woke up this morning,

he wasn't in his bed.

I thought I was going to die.

Giustino found him.

He was looking for you.

Let's go outside. Father Felice's here.

I don't come here to confess. There's no need.

I have committed no sins.

I come here to understand.

There's nothing to understand, Lucia.

I do love you.

But you want one thing and I want another.

For you, it's a sin. For me, it's not.

Bianca, wait.

Wait.

Bianca?

Bianca, wait.

Bianca?

Don't be silly, Bianca.

Bianca.

That's dangerous. Come down.

Come on. Please, come down.

Did you see how my dad was looking at us?

Yes, I did. Come down, now.

I think he knows.

Hey, will you come down?

Bianca.

That's dangerous. Come down.

All right, then.

I'll buy you a long dress, down to your feet.

And you'll look like a queen.

- Red. - Yes, red.

And I want a ring too.

Close your eyes.

We're leaving in three days.

Don't tell lies.

And be careful what you wish for.

Read this.

In the morning, I'll give it to your dad.

We'll go to my brother Antonio.

So?

She was with Ciccio.

Tell Maria to bring me the white shirt.

Maria, where is your sister?

She's at Auntie Carmela's. She went to get some flour.

What a good daughter I have.

She went to Auntie Carmela to get some flour.

I raised you properly.

Bianca.

Come here.

How's Auntie Carmela?

She says you never visit her.

Whore.

I'm not short of anything in this house.

I have a liar…

and a whore.

Why that face?

What is it? Don't you like it?

But when you make 15-year-old girls take off their clothes in the barn…

you like that.

Hey.

Let's go.

I've brought you this.

I've had it for a week.

But I can't read, son.

It'll take me a day.

I'll read it for you, then.

I want to show you something. Come.

We haven't had a year like this since before the war.

This is a rich land.

It only needs water.

And thank God…

we've got plenty of water here.

In spite of all the heat we've had…

the soil is still moist.

Yes, it's moist.

It's moist underneath.

It's moist!

I did warn you…

more than once.

You won't say another word now.

Not another word.

No!

No, Lucia!

- Don't look! - No!

No!

No, I beg you, no!

My Lord!

You are not my father anymore!

You are no one!

The thought of sharing the same blood as you makes me sick!

Ciccio!

Antonio, the manager wants to talk to you.

- Go ahead. - Thank you.

- Come in, Antonio. - Sir.

Good morning.

- Hey. - Hey, Antonio.

Dad invited us over for dinner tonight.

Good.

What is it?

Antonio, what's wrong?

My brother…

My brother died.

They killed him.

Who is it?

I don't know.

One second!

Police, open up!

The police? What do they want at this time?

- Come on. Let's go. - What happened?

I haven't done anything. What do you want?

Antonio!

- Mom. - Antonio.

Can you believe it?

Ciccio is gone.

Ciccio is gone.

Our Ciccio is gone.

He's gone.

Antonio.

Hey!

It's horrible.

Did you hear? They killed our Ciccio like an animal.

Antonio, I don't want to be here anymore.

I'll do whatever you want. I won't bother you.

If you have a friend, anyone you say, I'll marry him.

What are you saying?

- Lucia. - Antonio.

Thanks, Antonio.

Thanks for coming.

Here.

Give this to Father Felice.

Tell him that he has to do a special service for our Ciccio.

- Understand? - Yes.

Lucia, let's go.

We're going to get some flowers and some candles.

We'll be back soon.

For God's sake, where are you going?

To see Ciccio.

Bianca.

I swear if you come any closer, I'll rip your belly open!

No, Antonio.

We'll carry Ciccio.

Linda, come here.

You too.

Come on.

My condolences.

You can't score a goal!

Shoot. I will save it.

- No! - Goal!

I scored a goal.

Terrible!

- Nice! - Wait!

Wait!

The night before, your brother was here at the station

for the assault on Don Luigi.

After that, they saw him going home alone.

That's all we know for now.

In the North, it's bad luck to kill a spider.

You're not from here, right?

Listen, I ask the questions here, if you don't mind.

Then maybe you should be asking someone else, don't you think?

We do our job.

As soon as we get some news,

we'll be sure to inform your family. Don't worry.

Have a good day.

- Antonio hasn't got shit to do with it! - He's his brother!

My brother, Pasquale Morano, is in jail because of Ciccio!

- Do you understand? - Enough!

Thirty! Thirty men have ended up just like him! Do you hear me?

He's got it. Enough now!

- Get off me! - He's got it. Enough now! Go!

"Paradiso" family? It's a shit family!

Get lost!

Go!

Who's that?

One of the women carrying Ciccio's coffin was his wife, Rosina.

He once found her with Ciccio in a barn.

Some shit went down. You can't even imagine.

Antonio, your brother liked to sleep around a lot.

What about Bianca?

Do you know how many times I told Ciccio?

"Forget it!"

Nothing.

He'd lost his mind.

He wasn't thinking straight.

Like Ciccio used to say,

"Bianca is not a woman."

"She's a goddess."

All right, then. How did it go with the sergeant?

Fine. It went fine.

Thanks, Vincenzo.

And so?

They killed your son, and you don't say a word or do anything?

Ciccio made a mistake.

If you make a mistake, you pay.

Even if it's my son.

Ciccio was disruptive.

He gave people hope.

There's nothing worse than to give hope to people like us who have nothing.

It does more harm than good.

To wage war on those criminals, Antonio,

you must be like them.

Ciccio wasn't like that.

I'm leaving tonight.

By coach.

Antonio.

Forget about this house, these people, us, everything.

Don't ever come back here.

Don't touch me!

- Don't touch me! - Shut up!

- I'd like to talk to your father. - He's sleeping.

What is it? Is he sorry for what happened to my brother?

I said he's sleeping.

Besides, the Paradiso family isn't welcome in this house.

We don't like your smell.

Do you know why?

Because it's not a smell. It's a stench.

You stink like those filthy people who don't know their place.

By saying this, you make me wonder.

You can think what you want.

I'm not afraid of people like you.

The whole town knows the truth. Even the rocks.

Really? Everybody knows in town?

It's better this way.

Everybody has to know.

Your brother stuck his nose where he shouldn't have.

Nobody can come to my house to bother my daughter.

I raised her so that not even flies could buzz around her.

I feel sorry for your father.

But this is the end your brother deserved.

Remember, kid,

if you sow thorns,

you can't walk barefoot.

You take it out on these people who've always accepted their misery.

Resigned to be crushed by people like you, eaten alive by greed.

You should learn to enjoy your people's happiness.

Not their misery.

This land is rich enough to feed everyone.

But unfortunately, you can't understand this.

You think you have power,

but you're wrong.

They have it.

And as long as people like my brother die…

freedom will never die.

- The law should... - The law!

I hold the law here, in my hands.

Now leave, and say hi to your father.

Before he loses two sons,

not just one.

Cosimo, shut the door.

And come inside.

Be a good boy, okay?

Antonio, take him with you.

Away from this place.

Before he becomes like us.

Lucia…

Don't cry.

Bye, Mom.

Thank you, Vincenzo.

POLICE

Maria!

Maria!

They killed Cosimo as well.

Good morning.

Can I have ten kilos of flour, please?

Sorry, there's none left. We're out of flour.

You're sorry?

And what's this?

This is not for you.

You had no flour last time either. What is it? Is our money no good?

You're out of flour. You're out of sugar. You're out of salt.

Do you want to starve us to death?

Come on, let's go.

Bianca!

What are you doing?

May I?

Come in.

Come on in! It's been so long! Come here. Have a seat.

Have a seat! Come here, darling. Come.

You know how many times I wanted to come to the farmhouse?

But since your father's gone, I spend all my time in Matera.

My office is there now. And I rarely come here into town.

You have a beautiful house.

The sacrifices…

Years of sacrifices.

But tell me, to what do I owe this visit of yours?

Do you need help?

Just say it.

I owe it to your dear late father.

Don Luigi, the land we own is huge.

After what happened,

nobody wants to work for us anymore.

Hey, Caterina.

Thank you. Leave it here.

Here it is.

Try this.

- It's really good. - No, thanks.

Don't worry.

We'll take care of everything.

You and your sister shouldn't worry. I'll send you one of my teams.

You've grown so much.

You've become beautiful.

You and your sister were so little.

How old are you now?

So, you'll send someone over?

Thank you so much.

Consider it done.

I was thinking…

I'm going to Matera…

Why don't you come with me?

If you're a good girl,

you can rest easy for the rest of your life. Come here.

Caterina!

- Are you okay? - Can you give me a hand, please?

Wait. I'll help you. On you go. Go.

- He needs to get to a hospital! - Come on! Hurry up!

Slowly!

God, it burns so much!

Did you see what the snake looked like?

It was big and black.

Vincenzo, it was big and black.

Well, then…

there's nothing to do but wait.

Wait? Wait for what?

My grandma used to say that when a snake bites you,

there are two options.

Well, you either pour a woman's milk on it…

Have you got milk?

Me? What's he talking about?

Or you can suck the poison and spit it out.

That's disgusting.

I know, but…

Come on, make up your mind. Me or him?

You.

Vincenzo, hold this a second.

Can you please look the other way? You too, Vincenzo. Turn around.

Wait. Don't move.

What's your name?

Bianca.

Bianca.

Bianca, wait. Let me…

Here we go.

Close your eyes.

- Why do I... - You have to, or it won't work.

- It's here, right? - Yes.

Hold on. I need to find a comfortable position.

You damn rogue!

You're okay. It was a four-lined snake. It's not poisonous.

Hey, I saved your life, you know?

Don't forget that.

You're with me every day.

Always.

Antonio!

Hey.

Look at me!

- How do I look? - You're gorgeous.

Come. I want to show you something.

The apartment on the second floor.

It's great.

Dad said that if we like it, we can move in in less than a month.

Good.

That's what we wanted, right?

Yes.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Antonio, is everything okay?

Yes, everything's fine.

Dad said that you didn't go to the last factory meeting.

- I know. - It's not like you.

I know. It's just…

- It's just what? - I couldn't make it.

What's going on?

You won't look at me or talk to me.

What's going on? Tell me.

Nothing's going on.

I'm just a little shaken. I lost my brother, and I can't…

That's it.

Over the years, Antonio, you've become an important figure here.

For everyone.

Thank you.

We've known each other for over 20 years.

If you need anything, to go away for a while…

Just ask.

We would be happy to help you.

Sir, I'm fine.

- It was just an accident. - Don't worry about that.

We'll sort that out.

I'm worried about you, Antonio.

I mean it.

I can keep working. I am fine.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Fine.

- I can assure you. - Okay.

Thank you.

Antonio.

Yes?

My daughter really cares about you.

You have become part of our family.

Be good to her.

Thank you.

ANTONIO PARADISO VIA ENRICO TOTI - TRIESTE

See what I mean, Lorenzo?

- Who's there? - The usual. Shall we go in?

Let's go in.

- That's enough. - And seven!

Hi, what's up, Antonio?

- What's up? - How's it going?

All good.

- The usual beer? - Yes, thank you, Michele.

Totò, are you playing or what?

I'm not playing. Lorenzo will take my place.

Good! I might finally win tonight!

Who's going to win tonight? Come on. Show me how you win…

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Want some?

No, thanks.

- Are you going into town? - Yes.

Put your suitcase there. Go on.

Thanks.

You're not from here, right? You're from out of town?

I come from the North, but I was born here.

You need luck even when you're born.

It's so good that you're here.

- How are you? - Good.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I'm looking for Bianca.

Come with me.

This way.

May I?

Go ahead.

Thank you.

Take a seat.

Can I get you some biscuits?

I made them.

That's my mom. She died young.

She was a good woman.

No, thank you.

I'll get Bianca.

You'll need some patience with my sister.

Where's Antonio?

He's gone.

But why?

I've seen the picture of Schettino's wife.

It's the same as the picture Mom found in your wallet years ago.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

Antonio,

Bianca's sister is my daughter.

I grew up in Schettino's family.

When he got married, I was even his best man.

After a year, Bianca was born,

and he went crazy. He became an animal.

He wanted a boy.

He started drinking,

beating his wife, poor Cesarina.

Do you know how many times she came to our house at night and slept there?

And so…

I've never had the guts to look Maria in the eye.

I've never forgiven myself for that.

Does Mom know?

Antonio.

Do you know how Cesarina died?

She killed herself.

I HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO TELL YOU ANTONIO PARADISO

Paradiso.

Antonio!

So…

aren't you going to tell me that important thing?

I want to marry you now. Right now.

Close your eyes.
