Blasting Bear here, on Purple Wave.

And this is our last ever chance to spend time together

on this goofy radio station that shuts down tomorrow.

Come on!

Let's slap on another disc to piss someone off, I know who, and maybe you do too.

EVENING'S CRUISERS

from the novel I Viaggiatori della Sera by Umberto Simonetta.

What a sound! Did you hear, buddies?

If they weren't high, then even your own Blasting Bear isn't,

who's speaking to you, unfortunately, for the last time on Purple Wave,

125.030 MHz on stereo FM.

Putting fire in your bones! Now, here's a record that'll freak you out.

What do you think? This made a decent splash in our youth.

I wonder if any of you can still remember when we could all hang out together,

messing around,

going to live concerts,

and especially when it wasn't obligatory to go on holiday.

From tomorrow Purple Wave and I will go fuck ourselves.

Blasting Bear salutes you.

NEWS: The vote for 13 year olds.

Others will speak to you from this network. How?

I'll let you imagine it.

Who'll speak that language so dear to us oldsters?

Make way for youngsters!

Farewell, freaky high friends who've been paying attention.

Couldn't these children wait till tomorrow to move in?

You know what they're like. Unthinkable to waste a second.

Right. What good things will you transmit? What'll be this station's fate tomorrow?

We'll air public information bulletins.

You're speaking balls!

The list of foodstuffs on the market, the heating schedules,

and above all, the data from the great calculator.

Fantastic! You'll have lots of fun with that.

Did you get it, Geppi?

Even the great calculator on air now.

You know how much we care about how many people there are...

on this fucking planet.

Who's born, who's dead, who's dead, who's born...

Your concern is not requested and still less is it decisive,

especially using your dirty and outdated language.

But more true. Shove it up your hole

'To piss' is much truer than 'to urinate'.

You've got an anus, I've got an arse.

You copulate, I fuck. That is the difference.

Excuse me, we have work to get on with here.

Think how lucky you are. I'll have him between my balls for another 4 years.

Lucky you to go on holiday. Come on...

Is that what you say?

THERE ARE TOO MANY OF US

ORDER AND ORDER

How's it going?

Let's say: fucked up.

You?

Let's say: fucked up.

Yep! We're from the same class.

Just so, old fellow.

We're the same age, and so we're finished.

We should prepare for the holiday, Banti.

Which village are they sending you to?

Number 27.

Really? 27? I'm going there too.

At least let's mess around a little bit, don't you think?

Do you know my friend Galli?

Hi.

How's it going?

Fucked up.

Is he going to village 27 too?

Yes, him too.

So, let's all meet there.

Who knows?

Let's go, Galli. We're here.

Mum, these clothes too? Do you really need all of them?

Yes. Besides...

What would be the point of leaving them here?

You know how long ago was the era of the Superfluous, Excessive and Unnecessary?

Put this one in, too.

Yes.

And take off those ridiculous patches! Do you still think they smooth your wrinkles?

There.

Also this one, I like it very much.

Listen, I'm not sure if I can use this one again. What do you think? Do I take it?

Of course, it's the one that tarts you up. Take it, take it.

I'll take it.

The books.

We'll take it.

Watch out.

But Dad, even the books, now?

Yes, even the books. Why?

They're heavy and a significant clutter. Besides, they won't help you at all.

That's why we're taking them with us.

Because they're useless.

What're you going to do? That's the way we are.

We still believe in uselessness.

Isn't that right, Nicky?

For us the superfluous is even necessary.

Sorry.

Our parents never miss a chance to show they're the most incorrect,

the most undisciplined,

insensitive,

and unseemly.

Sorry, Annamaria.

I'll help you.

No way, it won't close.

How won't it close? Hang on.

Wait. I've got my own old method. If I may?

Fucking dirty fucker shitty bitch ugly cow...whore, slut, fuck off.

You see? You just need the right words.

Are the bags already closed?

Yes.

OK I'll put the gown here, no problem.

If you had the decency not to get naked in front of everybody every time,

I could say I had a less outdated mother.

But you, poor girl, still have a mother who believes in the old, healthy nude.

Also because I can still allow myself it. Right, Orso?

Certainly, my dear.

Oh, the medicines! How stupid!

Christ on a bike! By a hair's breadth!

Antonluca, pay attention. What are you doing?

He's just trying to kill his grandpa, it's normal.

No, Antonluca. I still need grandpa, you know?

To think that I supported your mother's application to the relevant office...

to get the authorization to conceive.

Grandpa, why do you say all that banality, obscenity and triviality on the radio?

Antonluca, why are you a pain in the arse?

Let's go and play over there, Antonluca.

Dad, we need to sort out your papers.

Give me the cards.

The cards? Why?

Because now you don't need them any more. They aren't used at the village.

Oh, yes. I'll give you them right away. I don't give a shit.

Here: foodstuffs, packaging, transport, healthcare, events, public transport.

Mum!

You too, give me your cards, please.

I'll give you them, these cards of yours.

Excuse me if I'm taking care of the papers you should have dealt with.

Here they are!

Your refreshment card is missing.

For Christ's sake! If I want to have a coffee or a beer, what should I do?

Don't worry, with these two strips,

we've got the right to get refreshments and fuel all the way to the village.

'GET STERILIZED'

Grandpa, did you get sterilized?

Your father should have done it.

What's my ex-husband got to do with it, now?

Why does grandpa drive so slowly?

Let me take my pills. Where are they?

Here. Mum, do you really need all these medicines?

By now I'm an addict.

For example, now, I take two nice Nervils.

Is it the sedative one?

Perfect, so now you can drive.

I'd love to.

You know, my driving is too nervous.

And now what are you doing?

Since your mother took a sedative,

she will drive, I was driving too fast

Too fast, dad?

We drive as fast as we're comfortable with.

We left at dawn, so we've got plenty of time.

Who ordered us to race? And with whom?

Dad, let's not start to argue, OK?

You're the one who's arguing.

No, I just said...

To get this over with as soon as possible.

A more than a legitimate desire, on your part.

But we drive slowly, just the same.

Right, Nicky?

As soon as you feel comfortable, OK?

OK?

Look out, some ESP volunteers are coming.

Come on, dad. Wear the bracelet, it's mandatory.

Come on, honey. Put it on.

And yours?

And mine...

Bracelet?

Good.

Hi guys, could we check the transit cards for the elders?

Here. We're going along with our parents on holiday. Today is their turn.

Congratulations. What luck to be able to go on holiday together.

That's a really happy circumstance.

Couldn't you thank them at least? - Have a nice trip.

Oh, yes, that's right. THANKS!

Many thanks, it was kind of you, thanks.

TOO MANY PEOPLE... ORDER IS INTELLIGENCE

TOO MANY PEOPLE... ORDER IS CIVILIZATION

TOO MANY PEOPLE... ORDER IS ORDER

Understood!

No, you didn't understand.

Actually you don't want to understand.

Did you hear, Nicky? It's not true that our son is a moron.

Actually he's got some kind of intuition.

Intuition and sensitivity.

Refinement.

Conscience.

Tenderness.

Compassion.

Hand me the coffee.

Thanks.

Dad! You drank a coffee just now!

What's about it? Now I'm thirsty, and I drink.

Let's go.

A nice coffee.

Me too, then.

For me a mint milk, please.

For me, too, thanks.

At the table for us.

Service at the table is not allowed by regulations.

I allow it.

Please, Dad, be non-consumerist.

We'll have a mixed ice cream cup for the boy, too.

I don't want an ice cream. I renounce consumerism.

Fine, then, since the child is an asshole, just bring me two coffees.

The coffees are there.

I want them at the table!

I'll bring them, Dad.

No! Put them down.

He has to take them to the table.

I want personal service.

Fuck it!

Is it possible not to understand?

That we've lost the taste for certain things.

To sit at a table, to order a coffee...

it's an undeniable pleasure.

As it should be a pleasure for you to bring it to me here.

The pleasure of the work, based on the personal touch.

I was a disc-jockey.

Dad!

Dad! Dad what? - If I may...

I maintained a female network, also with a certain success, right, Orso?

Sure.

Our followers were not only...

How do you say it? Elders, adults.

Also a bunch of young people followed us, perhaps covertly.

Why?

Because we based it, as he said,

on a personal touch.

He served songs into the home, and I gave advice...

and so maybe you will serve us coffee.

Come on, don't insist.

You can't break the rules.

Our society rests upon order.

This society rests upon reciprocal disgust.

where you talk to a pair of buttocks instead of a face.

My mother went to the seaside, last year, too.

Did you go along with her?

Are you their son?

Yes.

I gave him what he wanted, but...

It would be better if you take him out.

He is in a turbulent state of hysteria.

Take him away.

Otherwise I have to call ESP.

Sure, I'll take him away immediately.

Who are you taking away? Who?

What have I become? A package?

They deliver you, take you out, send you on holidays.

Come on, Orso. Let's decamp. It's not worth getting angry.

No, it's not worth the bother.

Let's go, guys.

Dad, give me the keys.

What keys?

You know what keys, the keys to the van.

Why?

Because I'm going to drive from now on.

Really?

Who decided that?

We decided, Annamaria and me, in agreement.

Strong agreement.

Oh, if you two decided it...

if you are in agreement...

OK, dad. See? Whenever...

No fucking way!

Aren't you saying anything, fucking Judas?

At least these two monsters,

these two assholes were made by you!

Yes, when I made them, you went out for a moment.

No, my dear! I'd like to remove the signature.

Give me the keys, Dad.

Come on, Orso. Give him the keys, cut it out. We have to go in any case.

Give them to me, Dad.

Give those keys to me.

Come one, give them to me.

What are you doing? Where are you going?

What's got into him?

I hope the bartender didn't see him.

He's really crazy.

Dangerously crazy.

Well, if this is craziness, it's a really common sickness these days.

I would call it a real epidemic.

Don't think he didn't suffer from punching you.

Consider that he never even slapped us when we were children.

What's happened to him?

He never slaps anybody.

Who knows where he's going?

If ESP finds out a violent episode happened...

Go and see if the bartender's got a Band-Aid.

I'll go to get the Band-Aid.

No, Antonluca. Come here!

I'll go and have a look.

Stay here, Antonluca. We'll wait for grandpa.

Don't do that, please.

It's my duty,

and yours, too.

In events like these the kids should call the Public Healthcare Army [ESP] at once.

I would be very grateful if you didn't do that.

How grateful?

Like... a watch?

You see, I'd prefer to get physical pleasure.

You understand...

this kind of job forces me into isolation. Not much chance to...

You'd like to fornicate with me

If it's possible...

...on the contrary, there will be good weather if you're going to the seaside...

Good afternoon, Sir. Do you need something?

No, I don't. I don't need anything, thanks.

I see you're going on holiday, congratulations!

Indeed, I'm going on holiday. Very kind, thanks.

Are you leaving alone?

No, no...

I'm travelling with my wife and my kids are coming along with us.

They stopped at the snack point while I went for a drive.

I'm going back to them right now.

So go back to your kids and don't make any more detours.

It's for your safety, OK? - OK, thanks.

You can continue your trip. - All right.

Have a nice trip. - Goodbye.

All right, all right...

All right!

When you want...

I imagined you thinner.

There.

Let's hope your father won't do any other crazy things.

Let's hope so.

They're difficult moments...

to overcome.

It's better you don't know anything about what I had to go through...

with my mother.

Orgasm?

No, a very cold tile.

What a nice smell!

What's that?

State Marijuana.

Great! Where did you get it?

It's provided by the region for old people going on vacation.

So?

I don't want it any more. - It's your loss.

Probably it's shit.

Let me have a taste.

Take it.

Just to try it.

Ohh.

Good.

Good!

Very good.

Hey, pass it back! - Just a moment.

Don't die, OK?

Damn! It's very strong!

RESPECT ME, I'M AN OLD WOMAN.

No! It's not possible! But yes, it's him!

Come on, speed up!

Go faster!

It's him for sure!

Who?

It's him! Didn't you see?

It's that animal Zefferi

Incredible.

Come on, speed up!

Have you seen that, at times, marijuana...

can give positive results?

Oh, Orso with family!

Hi Nicky.

How's it going?

It's still going on petrol, as you can see.

You're going the beach too?

Take a look at that brown nose. I always said to myself:

"Doesn't Zefferi go to the seaside? He's got connections."

What can you do?

Have you eaten yet, by any chance?

No.

Holy shit, what lucky bastards!

Why?

Don't ask questions, come with me.

I know about a place that, believe me, deserves a detour.

Really? With food?

Think about it. There's still greenery!

We're a bit baked. The joint's made us hungry.

Come with me and don't bullshit.

Turn on the engine, let's go.

Let's go.

But it's an oasis!

Look!

Look what I found!

Help me! They're falling...

Damn good shit.

1981, no bullshit.

Probably it's vanished and turned into water.

Try it!

Fantastic!

It's held up, guys!

It's held up better than us!

It doesn't even seem real to get together this way, like in the old days.

But tell me...

Who set up this super breakfast?

By Jove! The ex-Counts Vostuk-Bertoli Del Vivaio.

Those two weirdos there?

Years ago they put together an agricultural commune.

A commune? - Yes.

Yes, there were a few people working there.

The plot of land wasn't so big, but they shared.

OK, OK, we don't give a sh...

How do you know them?

I worked there, too. Think about it.

In the commune?

Yeah, ploughing, pruning,

weeding...

But then...

The Department decided I was much more useful...

at the Metro control station.

And you? Who controlled you?

A nice change, though, eh?

Mum...

What's up?

When you want we can go, we're ready.

Oh, good, very good, but...

we are not ready now.

What does it mean?

It means you don't have to hassle us.

We still have 4 bottles of wine to send off.

Go back to your table.

Hey, you people from ESP, would you like some?

What are you doing? Look at that!

She spat on me.

Why are you laughing?

The nuns.

The nuns? - Yeah the nuns.

What have nuns got to do with it? - What are you looking for?

The ESP lot remind me of nuns.

Weren't they black, the nuns?

Oh no, I remember it well. They were all white, like them!

You've got the happy wine, haven't you, my friends?

Good, good! It's a pleasure for me.

Have a glass with us, eh?

A toast to the newlyweds!.

They're not newlyweds, they're twins.

Twins?

Brother and... - They're a bit strange.

Right, damn, they look a lot like each other.

And so, this toast?

Actually I've lost the habit of making speeches for toasts, sorry...

I'll do it, if I may. - Fine, you do it.

Usually, toasts...

are about something that has yet to arrive.

Yet today...

I toast the many things of the past.

Thanks, friend. We too have many good things behind us to remember.

And they are all gathered here.

We've been happy on this land.

We, and all those who wanted to come with us.

We don't know what they're going to do with this place, but by now we don't care.

And you will soon understand why.

Now, let's drink a toast with this special wine.

Cheers!

Deceased.

30 MINUTES TO VACATION VILLAGE NO.27. A HAPPY TRIP.

Come on, Mum. Don't be like that.

Actually you're lucky. You're going there together.

Most of the husbands of your age usually go to the seaside before their wives.

It's not easy to find a couple like you.

Those two brothers went away together, too.

Mum, it's useless to get upset.

At a certain point, we all go to the seaside.

When we're 49 we'll go as well.

Shit! That's my only consolation.

It'll get you, too.

Think about it!

I don't even know if I want to reach that age.

You see, Orso. Maybe that's how it is.

We're the first generation who are going to the village.

You see how they think?

You could say they grew up with this idea, and...

and so on with their children, you see?

The villages have already been working for two years.

And they talked about it for at least as many more.

You should have had enough time to prepare for it mentally.

It wasn't enough for me, OK?

I'm being forced to go there. Forced!

This vacation is shit, and you want me happy!

No-one is pretending that you should be happy, Dad.

Not even resigned.

Everyone resigns themselves to it.

Or they poison themselves.

It's a shitty law!

The law is fair.

The great majority voted for it.

And those who voted for it included fathers and mothers as well.

You don't question the law.

It's Zefferi again.

Who knows why he's in such a hurry to arrive?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CIVIC SENSE WELCOME TO VILLAGE NO.27

"Welcome, granddaddy!"

"You'll get a nice accomodation."

"We wish you a merry stay!"

Welcome!

Thanks, little girl, thanks!

They're fake.

Delightful place, eh?

Good evening, Mr and Mrs Banti.

Welcome to the village!

I'm the manager.

I hope, indeed I'm convinced, that you'll be comfortable.

Please, sign here.

Put your palms on the reader, please.

One at a time.

Please...

Apartment 27.

There's a message for you.

For us?

Ah, it's from Milla Patrini.

Holy shit, she's here too?

Welcome guys, it's about time!

I'm in full holiday mode! - What an arse!

We're a band of old and new good friends.

Apartment 76, call me.

P.S. for Nicky. There's Cocchi Fontana too, interested?

Interested?

Oh, I'm all excited.

Have a nice stay and enjoy your holidays.

Thanks.

The regulations are broadcast in your apartment.

Bertani!

Banti? Hi!

That's our apartment.

It all seems quite decent, doesn't it?

Very decent.

Our guests may circulate freely, without restriction,

within the confines of the village,

and enjoy all its facilities.

The sea border can be considered...

as a line passing 70m from the beach.

Thus, during bathing,

our guests are advised, for their own safety,

not to cross that line.

All entertainments, amusements, food, sweets and ice cream,

are courtesy of the village,

as are the hard liquors,

up to a maximum amount of 200ml per person, per day.

We'll repeat these rules in about an hour.

They were really in a hurry, eh?

Francesco and Annamaria?

Yes, them.

A little greeting, and away.

They ran off like spies.

How are you?

Fine.

I am just sleepy.

What do you think about this?

I don't think anything specifically.

You're right.

It's better not to think anything.

Are you hungry? - No.

Me neither.

Beside, I don't want to spend this evening with that headcase Patrini,

and her mind-blowing friends.

Probably there are friends of yours, too.

Hm, friends!

We really did take a load of clothes with us. It's tremendous.

Who knows if we'll get the chance to wear them all?

Have you heard?

Tomorrow there's the medical exam.

I know.

And maybe the day after tomorrow, we could attend the famous Game.

I heard about it, too.

I didn't mean to give you a great revelation, good grief!

I simply wanted to comment on recent events.

What do you want to comment on, Orso?

As you said, let's not think about it.

What are you doing? Teasing?

How long is it since we made love?

Silly!

What is there to laugh at?

I don't know, probably two months.

Let's say four, eh?

Do you want to try again?

What's come over you? Come on, please.

What d'you mean, what's come over me?

Let's call Professor Freud to explain it to us.

We'll put him in between us,

and have him talk about a man of 50, made to quit his job and leave his house,

slammed in a crappy place like this,

who at 9 o'clock at night, feels a deplorable excitement,

and wants to fuck his wife. Let's ask him about it.

It'll be the fact we've changed apartment that excites you.

Yes, that's it exactly. It must be this apartment.

It's so exciting!

You've always had great thighs.

How's your pussy?

Short hairs!

Let's try it again.

Ugh, what a bore! What are you doing, deciding on your own, now?

So what if I am?

It's full of women out there, pick one of them! I'm not interested.

Are you hysterical now?

Fuck off then, please!

D'you know what would've been better?

It would've been better to send one of us here, the other there.

Beginning to forget.

Ridding ourselves of everything.

Your name, please.

Francesca Giuliani.

Here, madam, stand still like that.

That necklace, please.

Thanks.

You won't regret it, you'll see.

What does that mean?

Why? Do you want it back?

Of course I want it back.

Tell me the truth, things like this are rare nowadays, right?

Hi, Orso!

Cochi Fontana.

Is Nicky here, too?

Yes, she's here too.

Oh, fantastic!

The testicicles, please...

They're still here.

Can't you warm up your hands before doing that?

Your file, please.

Milla! - Yes? Tell me, honey.

Do you know that the doctor wanted to pinch my necklace?

Oh no, come on...

That's the "shaggitude" market.

What?

"Shaggitude"

You give him your pendant...

and he gives you his one, you see?

Yes.

I mean... no. It's not too clear.

Well, everybody does it, I'm telling you.

The authorities don't say a thing, it's rather considered a lofty public service.

So if you want some advice,

don't hang out with doctors or managers, no, no, no.

Actually all of them are intellectuals.

The staff are better, you see? Throw yourself at the staff.

Politics? Who still talks about politics?

Politics is all over.

Everything is in their hands...

Hi, Bertani.

I saw that friend of yours.

How are you? Did they find you healthy?

Well, I don't know, there's nothing wrong.

I saw it with my own eyes, they took him away.

What are they going to do with him? Tell me.

See you later, eh?

Till soon.

Is he a friend of yours?

Yes, right, we were schoolmates

If you want, we can invite him too, tonight.

To what?

To the orgy we're organising because you're not coming.

You've become a sex maniac.

When you come here, you should fuck even if you don't want to.

Otherwise, how can you pass the time?

...yes, but what about Orso?

Orso will have to adapt to it too.

Our old gossips are coming!

Oh, how's your male menopause coming along?

There's not enough to mock.

What did the gerontologist say?

Hormone therapy.

Guests no. 738 and no. 1022,

Frasc� Maurizio and Corradini Silvano,

evading surveillance, perhaps to make an excursion,

ventured into the desert area, losing their lives,

victims of their own imprudence.

What an asshole!

We recommend that our guests respect the rules.

Unit 14, proceed promptly to point L.

Unit 14, proceed promptly to point L.

What are you doing? Are you staying here or coming to the sea?

Getting bored alone or in company.

You two!

Are you new?

New in what sense?

We arrived yesterday.

So, yesterday it was Thursday the 4th...

When were you born?

Day and Month.

20th of April

11th of August

The number 20 is classified as very good for its exact power,

and subject to more than one doubt.

In the Book of Creation, the 20th path is that of the primordial vision,

and its diffusion.

Number 20 has the access to the knowledge of spiritual freedom,

and the shadows of materialism fall from its eyes.

While the number 11 is equivalent to the Hebrew letter "kap".

The cult symbol of number 11 is strength.

It is represented by a girl keeping a lion's jaws clamped

A lion gagged by a hand of steel.

Surprised?

I've been a guest of this village for 2 years.

May I? - What, are you crazy?

You want to touch me! You still have to be verified and checked.

Will you be propitious or adverse to me?

There's the alphabet, numbers,

the law of vibration,

all to be verified.

What are you counting, Orso?

The times I threw up during my life.

I can remember very well.

The first day of school.

One time on the radio.

Another time was...

Well, I don't even recall now.

So why are you interested?

I'm really not.

Orso is courting me ruthlessly!

Exactly, Milla, as long as you can do it!

Did you bang him before or after?

Up to now he's just been talking about vomit.

Listen, guys, tonight there'll be lots of great hotties, recruited at the laundry.

And there are also the ones from the office: beautiful and cheap too.

Oh! I'll make a reservation. Where do we meet?

How about Riccardo's, like the other night?

Not me, last time you were like a horde of Huns, pissing on the walls all the way.

OK, so let's meet at my place, we can inaugurate it too. Who's coming?

Me!

Not me. I'm not coming.

OK, don't come, just sent us your wife.

She's an adult. She can do whatever she likes.

NO TO HOLIDAYS YES TO THE RIGHT TO GET OLD

Nicky, have you ever cheated on your husband?

What do you think?

I hope not, since you never did it with me.

Do you still love him in that indecent way?

Even here?

Here, I'd like to love him a bit less.

Well, that's something in my favour.

Your drink, madam.

10 o' clock. Apartment 301.

I'm sorry. Don't count on me tonight.

I'm planning to have a great screw.

Oh no, dear, that's not fair! If you've got something nice you should share.

What's this privatisation of sex?

That's not good.

Can I ask a question that has nothing to do with this conversation?

All the questions you like, Orso! The wider the conversation gets, the better.

Like thighs?

Ask the question, Orso.

Who's taking part in the great game tomorrow?

Everyone takes part, don't they?

Except the latest arrivals, who can attend, though it's optional.

That way, at least they learn the game.

And if someone wants to play right away, for example?

They're perfectly entitled.

What can you win?

A marvellous cruise. Do you want to know more?

No, that's enough.

I think I'll play right away.

That way I'll stop thinking.

OK, I'm going. Bye.

If tomorrow I don't win, and leave for the cruise,

Will you come to bed with me?

Yes.

I think so.

Present the list.

NO MORE YOUNG AND OLD PEOPLE JUST PEOPLE

Astronaut. Tree.

The president.

The unemployed.

Here! I have it, hooray!

We remind you, ladies and gentlemen,

that you win the cruise, if you finish with one

or more cards uncovered.

Is it going well?

Not so much, I'm still after two.

And now, three cards to follow.

Pay attention.

Marijuana.

Sodomy.

Jailbreak.

I've lost!

Ladies and gentlemen, pay attention! Check your cards carefully.

Who is that loony with the umbrella?

His name's Simoncini. So lucky! It seems he's played for 2 years and never wins.

We're nearly at the grand final, my dear guests.

Here's another sequence.

Pay attention!

Elephant.

Fornication.

Cat.

And the Electric Chair.

How strange that Bertani is.

And now,

three minutes for trading.

You can start.

A bit of self-control, please!

Lobotomy, Terrorist.

I'll give you them for whatever the fuck you want.

Here's Dog, OK?

Oh, no, I'm not going to trade with you. Sorry, but...

What have you left? Terrorist and Lobotomy...

2 for 1. I'll take your two for my single one.

You will have only one card left and I'll have two.

Take them.

Pay attention!

Dear friends, gentle guests...

Trading is over.

There are only two cards left.

In a few minutes we'll be able to declare the lucky winners of this cruise.

Terrorist.

Lobotomy.

It's a cruel game, it's disgusting!

Excuse me, director...

just out of curiosity,

I want to know if it's regular...

to give one card for two cards. Because before, that man gave me...

Yes, sir. The trading is free.

Don't be scrupulous.

You have won.

Congratulations!

Just to be sure...

OK, so I've won.

Of course.

Thanks.

The game is over. Declaration of the winners.

I made it. Will you keep your promise?

Yes, I will.

I told you, Bertani, I'm hopeless, let's stop it.

No, wait. Let's finish the match.

In your opinion, where do the winners of the cruise end up?

Well, I've got some kind of idea...

They don't come back again.

The ship leaves full and comes back empty.

Certainly, put that way... it seems harsh.

Harsh, yes, it is.

Is that OK for you?

For me it isn't.

Fuck no, it's not for me either!

By now it's too late. The law passed.

Certainly neither you nor I wanted it.

What can you do?

Disobey, Orso.

In one word, age.

Play.

In one word.

But what do you do?

I do what I can as long as I'm here. I make propaganda.

Oh, so it's you!

The one who wrote all that bullshit on the walls.

I'm trying to awaken consciousness, but it's hard. Here people sleep a lot.

Guest no. 1044, Mr Liverani Antonio, is deceased tonight of a heart attack.

Now the body is on its way to the burner for cremation.

Coming here to die of a heart attack.

What is that, good or bad luck?

There's no-one inside that coffin.

He escaped, but you can't be allowed to know that someone could manage it.

It'd break the balance of obedience and fatalism that animates our gentle guests.

How can you know it, Bertani?

I know. Play.

That's why you want to wake up consciences.

To persuade us to escape.

Yes.

No, no, drop it. I've got a wife too...

I don't want to put myself in that trouble.

Because of her, too.

Then I'm fucking scared!

I prefer to go away legally,

on the cruise.

Take care, Bertani. And good luck!

Did you dye your hair?

Are you going to be fucked again tonight?

Let's not make a drama, for Heaven's sake!

No, of course. It was just to know. - Good.

It's just that... - That what?

That you disgust me.

For Heaven's sake, let's not not make trouble.

Let's try not to get into jealous paranoia in a situation like this.

We're not in a normal situation.

We're on holiday, by now, Orso. Do you want to understand, yes or no?

And what should I understand?

That you solve everything by adopting a revolutionary attitude?

Dedicating yourself to strenuous sexual activity?

Is that your solution?

There's no relief or solution, Orso.

And this overflowing ironic tone of yours doesn't help at all, is that clear?

What do you want to show? That you're better than everybody else? So what?

D'you think we can still judge? See what's good and what's bad?

Don't shout. I'm not judging. If you've still got a minute of intelligence,

something I permit myself to doubt,

you'll agree with me that you chose the most squalid, banal situation.

Which is?

This relationship with that asshole!

I have no relationship with Cocchi.

For me Cocchi's just a thing, nothing else.

First: at least with me, call him Fontana.

Have the sensitivity not to use his name with me.

Second: It is a relationship.

As you've decided not to understand, it's useless to discuss it.

So, you're my wife. Yes or no? - Yes.

Perfect. My wife has a sexual relationship with another. Because it is sexual, right?

Listen to me, Orso.

If you think I'm enjoying it...

So what is it about? Is it a penance?

Those stupid arguments of yours When will you grow up, eh?

Come here, Nicky.

You're not going out from here.

Orso, what's happening to you? You never acted like this.

I do now!

Say it!

Say that you want to go and fuck Fontana!

I want to hear you saying that you want to go and fuck Fontana!

I want to go and fuck Fontana!

Let me out.

Watch out! ESP is coming.

Chuck me the spraycan.

Halt, please. Just one moment.

Gentlemen, weren't you hanging around garden 12 earlier?

Can't we even go for a walk?

There are reckless people defiling the walls with insane writings.

Please, be so courteous as to allow us to make a small search.

We've searched three guests. Nothing relevant.

Everything's in order, gentlemen. Sorry for the disturbance.

See you tomorrow.

Oh, no. Look, youngsters get the same service as us. I'm sure.

Hey, think about it.

Good morning, Nicky. Have you had breakfast already?

Two breadsticks. - Only?

And a slice of cucumber.

Orso! We're here!

Come here!

Hi, Orso. How is it going?

Hi, bad enough, thanks.

Don't take take it to heart.

Thanks.

Why? What have I done?

The important thing is not what you've done, but what you're going to do.

Do you see her, over there? - Which one?

The one with the fruit.

That one. I suggest her to you.

Her name's Ortensia. She's among the most beautiful in the village. Try her.

What's up? You're into wild sex, too?

Tell her I sent you.

Or better...

"Recommended by friend B"

Sodomy, Dog,

Jailbreak,

and Marijuana.

I don't know if this game's crueller to watch or play.

I know even crueller ones.

And now let's start with trading.

You can start.

I want to drop Pollution!

Give me the Dildo!

How many?

One.

You?

What do you give me in exchange for this?

Nothing, leave me alone. Don't you see I'm doomed?

I've still got 5 left.

Madam, you've already finished, congratulations. It was the frequency 9.

That man in a blue jacket, standing... Can you see him?

Yes.

He wants the Dirigible and offers the Astronaut. Help him, go and do the swap.

If he wants the Dirigible, why don't you give him it?

He won't accept it from me.

If you do it it's different. You can save him.

No, that poor man, I can't.

Otherwise he's got no chance, and he's got the Locomotive on frequency zero.

He's really in trouble, I guarantee you. If you don't want to, well...

Maybe it's only superstition,

and all cards are equal, but to be safe...

Go on, madam. Be kind and go, please.

One minute left for negotiation.

Still 15 seconds...

What can you give me for the Elephant?

You already took my wife.

The Psychoanalyst.

Very good.

Halt!

Dear friends, trading is over.

Let's go on to the grand final.

The Electric Chair!

Lobotomy.

The Elephant.

Finished!

And to finish,

the Astronaut.

The game is over. Declaration of the winners.

Christ! Christ!

With that very card of mine, poor Fontana!

He wanted to swap.

It went fine, right?

This time, yes. Who knows about the next one?

Maybe for us, there won't be a next time.

I'm sorry.

Maybe it would've been better if...

It wouldn't even have been worse.

I'm sorry, you know?

I'm sorry above all for you.

Yes, because beside all considerations, and the bad things we said to each other,

but in the end,

you two were having a relationship.

Don't misunderstand me...

Friendship, that's it.

Nicky, are you sleeping?

No.

You can't come in.

Why can't I come in?

Because I'm not alone.

Listen, madam, I don't want arguments. I'd prefer to leave.

I'll take two sweaters instead of four.

Two sweaters?

He's a... he's a gardener. We agreed on four sweaters for...

for coming here.

I hope you didn't give him my red one.

I won't make arguments, I wouldn't want to repeat myself...

but why right here?

Unfortunately, it wasn't possible to do otherwise.

I sleep in a room with another worker.

You see? It's not my fault and I didn't mean to disrespect you.

You didn't, eh?

But excuse me, why this choice?

They suggested it to me.

I understand.

And me?

You what?

I mean, where do I go?

I don't know, in the living room, sleep there.

Don't you dare sleep outside with that awful rheumatism you get.

I wouldn't even think about it.

Excuse me, sir, many husbands sleep in the same room in this kind of situation.

It's not that bad. It's happened many times.

Some of them turn off the lights, others use earplugs.

You don't know the racket my wife makes when she makes love.

Let me tell you, I know her better than you.

No, look, let's not even discuss it.

I knew you'd make trouble.

I'm not going to sleep with the gardener, OK?

No, don't you move.

Orso, can't we find a... ?

civil solution?

I can try to call a friend. She works in the infirmary.

An orgy... you're proposing an orgy, thanks.

So I can call her to see if she's able to receive at her place.

Try, Orso. Try.

Please, go away.

Listen, Orso.

Many couples do these things for their whole lives.

Certainly, in the end they have no respect for each other, but...

they also get much less pain when...

You hear that?

The lady wants you to stay here.

Orso, please. Do something, help me!

There only one way to help you: by leaving.

And... how do you say it?

Have fun.

But you feel absolutely nothing, madam.

I really hope to feel nothing at all.

Do you want me to try any particular technique?

No, just leave.

Take the sweaters and leave, sorry.

Not that red one!

My husband likes it.

My wife is in bed with a gardener, so...

I'll do a bit of gardening.

I suffer a lot from insomnia.

I don't dislike sleeping outside.

Mister Brigadon, please?

Yes?

Your wife told me she's finished and you can go back to the apartment.

OK.

Hi. - Good evening.

A cold night, isn't it?

18�C. An optimal temperature.

Not so much...

Especially for those who have to stay outside all night long.

Unless...

I found a way to warm up a bit.

I assume you use this turn of phrase to ask me to have sexual relations with you?

No.

Well, I mean...

since my wife is having sexual relations with a colleague of yours, I thought...

I'm sorry, sir, but I'm not available for erotic practices.

Good night.

Not even if I say I was recommended by friend B?

Friend B stands for... ?

Bertani.

I've changed my mind.

Actually, it wouldn't be disagreeable to have sexual activity with you.

Can we go to your apartment?

Unfortunately, at this moment my wife is fucking with a youth.

And I'm sharing my lodgings with other colleagues.

But wait.

Where can I go for the fulfillment of a sexual practice with a guest?

At the beach chair store.

Everything's in order. I'm authorised to use the store. Come with me.

Thanks.

One moment... I should give you a gift. That's the rule, isn't it?

What do you prefer? A piece of clothing, a ring, or a necklace?

I like this scarf.

I don't want to be part of this sort of sex madness, like all the others.

It's a matter of dignity.

And then, I'm not used to it.

But it's strange, because

maybe it's the first time I make love... while my wife...

is doing it with someone else.

I'm a member of the Movement, too.

I'm working with Bertani and his friend to help people escape from the village.

I don't understand. - Someone's there, make love!

A Movement? Even among you youngsters?

There's a lot of us, everywhere.

It's strange. Bertani didn't tell me this.

Bertani sends people to me when he's absolutely sure of them.

But why are you doing this?

I'm against every deprivation of liberty.

To get old is a right, I think.

This is a risk.

Those are the rules of the game.

Kiss me.

Kiss me again.

They're gone.

And nobody notices all this?

It's unthinkable that there could be allies among young people.

It's unthinkable also for me, but...

now everything is different.

How do you help them escape?

It depends on the circumstances.

Fantastic!

It doesn't even seem true that I could get old!

Escape!

Listen,

in a few days, after the next Great Game, there's a chance for you and your wife.

Fuck! After the Game!

There's others before you.

OK, it's fine with me, all the same.

But nobody's coming!

Better not to take risks.

Guests nos. 831 and 1114,

Mr Tramezzi Mauro and Mr Braun Guglielmo,

no doubt in an oversight, have not had their hands scanned for the daily census.

They are requested to do it, please.

You hear that? They've done it. They've run away, free, outside!

We have to do it too.

Orso, listen, think about it!

I already did. Let's go.

Is it really a good idea to go to that nutcase?

It seems like a good idea to me, yes. We don't have much choice. Let's try.

I don't know. Everything seems so absurd.

It's not.

Is he expecting us?

I have an appointment.

Who is it?

Can we enter?

Come in!

What are you doing?

Nothing, just an excercise.

Well, living in this room for two years, I must say gives it a certain feeling...

the others have a sort of temporary air, I don't know. This is lived.

It's lived because I live.

I don't know if you'll give me positive vibrations.

Well, we shouldn't be so inauspicious.

Last night you swapped a card, with my wife's help.

What do you want?

The game.

We absolutely must get past the next Game.

And therefore, only you can teach us how to do it.

My dears, I do not teach or proselytize.

Because the chances in my favour would diminish in a vertiginous manner!

Proselytize?

It's just for one Game, the next one.

We just want to survive that one.

And then to escape from here, right?

How do you know we want to escape?

I need to know everything as a necessary component in the art of survival!

Ignorance is error and error is death!

The system is complex.

The implementation is enormous, continuous and constant.

Actually, what concerns me is...

to finalize my fate, as you want to do.

To win to escape, no! To win to continue winning, yes!

Only by this pact can we usefully direct or correct luck. It doesn't like change.

It always wants to stay the same.

It doesn't want to transform into happiness or liberty!

Well, just once?

No!

You others, for example...

Now you're thinking about the future.

Well, a little, yes.

No! You shouldn't!

You love each other and care.

Yes, sure.

No, you can't!

You shouldn't have any other thoughts or worries.

Balances,

rhythms and cadences should dangle from a single fulcrum:

your own survival.

Only the will to live is to live!

The will to live is not enough. One can win or lose.

He who gives up is he who loses.

To avoid thinking about it, they throw themselves into stupid sensory pleasures.

That's why we want to escape, before it's too late.

Fine, it's your business.

Mine is a cosmic system.

But in your case, we can try to use only two components: frequencies and delays.

It won't harm you.

Excuse me, were you a mathematician in your life?

No, I had a sewing shop.

Let's focus only on the last sequence of abstract cards. It's those that count,

that give a logic to trading, and tell us what to discard or take.

Here are all the delays from the last 2 years.

The Rooster! Check the Rooster!

Oh, yes.

It hasn't come out in the last sequence for 18 decades.

Study it!

The Rooster!

So, the Dirigible on the first call: 8th position. Write it down.

7 decades.

Yes.

The Mountain...

Second call: 10th position

Six!

I make it eight. Eight!

Six!

Why six?

What are you doing? Guessing?

No, I don't understand, I don't know.

Do you really believe we can't think about anything else?

Like Simoncini said,

To do something else...

I don't know, I'm...

I'm scared.

About what?

Come on!

Declaration of the winners!

I'm sorry, Orso.

Give me that, I can carry it.

No, there's almost nothing inside.

I took a fancy dress because they said there will be beautiful parties.

I hope I don't get seasick, because I threw away the medicines. Damn!

The sea looks calm today.

You know, you need to stare at a fixed point, and...

...Without looking away. I know, it's an old theory of yours.

But anyhow I'm feeling sick.

You know it's the first time we aren't travelling together?

Yes.

I mean...

I'm going to travel alone.

Today, you look so young...

For you.

You're the same for me

But it seems that our opinion doesn't count for much.

Only the lady.

Why?

It's not permitted to accompany the embarking cruisers.

Fucking Hell! It's my wife!

Orso, don't show off. It's useless. It's only a few steps.

I do that alone all the time.

Here or over there is the same.

Don't get angry with Francesco and Annamaria. They're coming soon.

No.

... with the child, too.

No.

I'm calm just for you.

No.

Probably you won't believe me, but...

you were the only love of my life.

You, too.

Make it quick, madam. You're the only one left.

Mum, what does 'cruise' mean?

It means party, Antonluca.

So grandma left for the party?

Yes.

When is she coming back?

When you've grown up.

Grandpa, aren't you going to the party?

Yes, I'm going there, too.

When?

Soon.

Come on, Antonluca. Don't disturb grandpa.

Grandpa, when are you going to the party?

They're reinforcing the surveillance, we'll try to leave tomorrow.

Good luck.

What, haven't you decided yet? Christ!

There's room in the van for you, too.

I'm not coming.

I didn't expect that from someone like you.

We need many people.

I've never given a damn for the community.

And now I don't even give a damn about myself.

Are you sure?

If you want, Orso, you can think about it again.

I've already thought about it.

I don't see a single reason to leave here.

I'm sorry.

Good luck!

34, 35, 36

37, 38, 39

40, 41, 42

43, 44, 45

46, 47, 48, 49, 50

Grandpa! Can I go swimming, too? Or is it just for old people like you?

Only old people like me.

Check.

What is this? It's new. Are you checking us too?

We have new orders.

Don't you trust me?

How old is this beautiful child?

I'm 7, sir.

Yes, but he's already 1 ton heavy. Try.

Feel his weight.

Wow!

Put him down.

But sir, you're joking, I hope.

Grandpa, what's got into you?

It's OK, Antonluca, don't be scared. We're playing a game. A little game.

Alarm!

Antonluca, come with me. Let's go.

I want a car.

We have to wait for the director, first.

OK, let's wait for him.

Anyway I warn you...

If one of you makes a move I don't like, I'll make a hole in this little head.

Easy! Easy!

This man is not serious. Isn't that right, Mr Banti?

I want a car, to get out of here.

Come on Banti, be reasonable.

You know the rules, don't you?

A car, or I'll shoot.

Listen, where do you think you're going?

You don't have a single possibility.

I just want to make a short trip.

I'm fucking tired of this place.

Grandpa, I don't like this game at all.

The best part is still to come, dear.

OK, but don't think you'll get away with it!

Bring a car.

Even this one's fine by me.

OK.

Let's not play games, eh? Come on, Antonluca.

We're going for a nice trip.

Get in.

Go!

Let's follow him!

What are we doing?

I don't know.

Run away by yourself, Orso!

No!

By now, it's useless.

That lot won't ever give up.

Don't worry, Ortensia. Go on.

Let them pass!

Stop.

It's been nice, Ortensia.

Anyway, thanks.

What do you want to do?

Antonluca and I will go on with this game, right?

OK.

Get out of the car, and leave the engine on.

Move, quick!

Get in.

Hey, you! Out of my way! Move!

But what do I do? Where do I go?

Get on with your job, everything's normal. Go!

Hey, he did it!

It's incredible, but he managed!

He took everybody along after him!

What kind of game is this?

It's a very old game, dear Antonluca.

Its name is 'cops and robbers'

They are the cops and we're the robbers.

I'd prefer to be a cop.

Not necessarily, you know.

Come here, give me your hand.

What are we doing now, grandpa?

We're going to take a trip on the lake. You see that barge?

What is it?

Now we're getting on it, come on!

What is this stuff?

It's a place with a lot of animals. Wait.

Mr Banti, be reasonable. Come back here.

You can't run away, it's a lake. Where do you want to go?

Your desperate daughter is here, and your son.

If you don't want to listen to me, at least listen to them.

Dad, please. Do what they say!

Bring Antonluca back here. Nobody will hurt you!

Stop it, please! It's your grandson, you can't hurt him!

Dad!

It's Francesco!

You're carrying out a thoughtless action!

Don't make things worse!

Bring Antonluca back and drop the gun.

The director will be understanding with you!

Do you understand? Don't be stubborn!

This was the lion, the king of the forest.

Was it evil?

No, but since it wasn't good to eat,

and it didn't bring the newspaper to its owner in its mouth,

so nowadays the lions don't exist any more.

And this, what was it?

Which one? This?

This was called the gazelle. What a nice name, eh?

Was it evil?

The gazelle? No, it was very good!

And exactly because of that, it exists no more.

And this, I don't know what it's called, and so it exists no more, too.

Look out for the steps, go down.

Grandpa, I'm tired of this game!

Me too. It's almost over. Come on.

Tired?

Yes, a little.

And this, what's it called?

Bear!

Orso! Like you!

What book is this?

Let me see.

The Holy Bible.

Is it nice?

Yes, very nice.

It's been a famous best-seller for a long time.

Can you read a nice story for me?

If you promise me you'll go to sleep afterwards.

OK.

You promise?

Yes, but first,

you have to read me the story.

I don't need to read it. I know it by memory.

Once upon a time, an old man named Noah,

with a long beard, he was 600 years old. Good for him.

Once God called him and said to him...

Grandpa, who is God?

A guy who once was very important.

Like the boss of ESP?

A bit more.

So He said: 'Listen, Noah, humanity is really breaking my balls.'

'You know what I'll do?'

'I will drown them all!' You see what a thing?

So He invented the Flood.

Then he said 'You will build a good boat and save an example of every species.'

'You can choose, because you're a fair person.'

He was so fair, he saved himself, his wife, his children and a lot of animals.

Then the Flood stopped,

as well as the rain,

the dove flew, and everything restarted as it was,

and even worse than before.

Grandpa!

Can I shoot at you?

Put that pistol down immediately!

Just for once, let me try!
