(SOUND OF CITY)

Quiet, I’ll lose my job

Look, they control everything from here.

Is it legal?

What do you mean legal? In Italy Euthanasia is not even legal, imagine this thing here.

However, it’s cool.

To me it’s a bunch of bullshit instead.

Is it pricy?

Pretty…I’m just the custodian. You don’t even know how much it costs.

Quiet!

Is it wine?

Quit saying bullshit, come here…

Let’s go inside!

No! Quiet, quiet, quiet!

I told you to be quiet, or I’ll lose my job!

Don’t be so boring.

(ALARM BEEPING)

(PIANO MUSIC)

(SPEAKING ITALIAN) …the technique…

Michele, what are you doing at a photographic exhibition?

Francesca!

Hi. Hi.

So, at what point are we with the fresco? Now we should be almost there, right?

Yes, and it will be a masterpiece, as usual.

Considering what he’s recently been at, of course it will be!

Michele is always so modest.

Bye. Have a good evening.

I’ll go back to my friends.

(PIANO MUSIC)

(WAVES SOUND)

Michele, Michele…

Michele…what are you doing?

I was thinking.

Do you realize that everyone is watching us? Come on, let’s go.

let’s go.

(CAR RADIO)

At the end it was a nice evening

Wasn’t it?

Did you see what Lucia was wearing? You couldn’t even look at her, what a match of colors…

it made no sense, and that hair… what kind of tint! Yellowish color…I couldn’t even look at it.

She’s already posted the photos of the night…I’m checking right now …

and you’re not even in one of them, because you’re always alone.

Well, what are we up to this weekend?

Have you finished that fresco yet?

Have you found that face you’ve been looking for? Yes?

Yes?

I don’t know.

By the way, I won’t be here next week, I have to go with my dad, he needs me…

Michele, did you take your medication?

Yes.

Listen, go to sleep and I’ll take a shower.

Did you wish my father for his name day?

You know, he’s very keen of it.

I thought to give him a golf bag…it’s thoughtful.

By the way, put your clothes away, you know Rosanna gossips around, she can’t keep anything in her mouth.

Who knows what the neighbors would say… Go to sleep, I’ll be up for a while.

Yes, remember to bring the green bag, that I really like, not that red bubo from the last time, that was horrible.

Sorry, hold on, Michele, remember to eat cereal that’s good for your diet.

Rosanna prepare the guest room, someone is coming this weekend, I don’t remember who.

Make him eat.

Yes, that one was ok, just not the red one…

that’s it, not a problem, don’t worry about that.

Yes.

(PIANO MUSIC)

You finally made it. Listen, the Fine Arts supervisor called off on the last minute, I’ll introduce you to the others.

Dr. Scognamiglio, the manager of public relations

Dr. Laurenti, the director of works,

Dr. De Gregorio, the secretary of the National Council.

Please to meet you.

She’s expecting. Just like all of us.

It took two years,

it’s a huge investment,

but you’ll see the wonder in the public’s eyes when we’ll reveal the painting

So you’re saying that the President will be happy with the investment.

I’d say so.

By the way, I heard that the orthodox Patriarch will be present.

In fact, the event will represent the first real national interreligious Council.

Sure, let’s hope there won’t be too much splendor, it all seems to be so Neo-classical.

Don’t you worry about that, you’ll see what we were capable of.

Well, he required some time to finish this, I’m seeing the wonder in your eyes, so…

This is not a wonder, this is dramatic.

I would say so.

We won’t ever be able to finish in time.

I would say so.

It’s seriously dramatic.

And so?

Have some patience. Can you just wait outside for a moment?

We’ll wait, no worries.

No, that’s unbelievable.

Didn’t you say it was almost finished,

that you were sure to be on time?

Listen up, you know why we chose you, otherwise you’d still be drawing postcards for tourists.

We came towards you in every possible way, fuck.

You said: “There’s no problem, everything’s ok”.

Now look at the place you put me into.

Do you even realize that there will be delegates from all the religions of the world?

Have you got any idea of what it means?

Anyhow.

I mean, I’ve got a project that keeps my company going,

and see who I’m giving it to…

to a bunch of pseudo artists,

what the fuck was I thinking of?

Fucking bitch.

Listen,

for now I’ll call off all the payments I made for you,

is that clear?

And if you don’t finish this fucking altarpiece as God commands within ten days, one zero, got it?

I’ll sue you. I’ll sue you so bad,

that you’ll whip yourself with no mercy.

You’ll end up begging for money in the streets, I guarantee that.

Everything’s alright,

he just explained to me some details, ’

it’s just a matter of few days and the work will be finished.

I mean, do you realize how big is this event?

It seems that you’re underrating the thing.

The Government is also involved, don’t you forget it.

How can I forget it?

I would also remind you that I proposed someone else for the painting.

I’ll call myself out, I’ll absolutely take no responsibility for this.

Don’t be anxious, just relax.

We are relaxed.

Maybe you shouldn’t be so relaxed. Don’t you think so?

Remember that it comes from public money.

I’m saying that there’s no problem, I’ll take care of it

and we’ll see each other soon.

Goodbye.

If you say so, farewell.

Goodbye.

Goodbye. Take care.

(PHONE RINGS)

What happened this time?

Do you have any idea about the mess Michele has done?

To start, he hasn’t finished the altarpiece.

Are you kidding?

I’ll take care of it.

I believe he needs to be shaken.

The kid has been too snugged recently.

What do you mean?

Just saying that without the connections and protections you and your father are giving him,

he wouldn’t go anywhere.

Do you mean that?

I’ll take care of it.

Let me see the first one.

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

Where,

where shall we put it?

Here.

Sign here.

Thank you.

Well, anyway, is that clear, isn’t it? Six hundred, two hundred.

Nothing you can do.

Nothing you can do.

It’s not the moment.

It’s not the moment? What are we going to do now?

One thing is certain, we cannot freeze him again. Out of discussion.

So what?

I spent a lot of money, it was supposed to take two hundred years,

and it only took four.

Sure, we all know that it’s only an experiment.

It’s all practically illegal.

What about me now?

We’ll see.

It will be fine this time?

I’m ill.

You’re back.

I’m so sorry to be the one telling you this,

but your lady obligated me to pack your stuff.

She also told me to put only your clothes, not the ones they gave you.

She said,

that they are only two t-shirts,

she also says she blocked your current account, but she put some money in your bag,

a thousand euro,

she also says you can sleep here one more night, but tomorrow you have to leave and find your own lodging.

She also says,

“If you don’t finish the altarpiece within ten days, consider yourself cancelled out of my life, but I’m sure you’ll make it, I believe in you.”

I’m sorry, she said that.

You know I’m not involved,

I can’t do anything,

I tried to tell her she was exaggerating,

but she threatened to make me leave with you.

If you want, I can lend you some money, I have some savings,

and then, there are all your paintings you should take with you.

Also, the lady needs the car.

Tomorrow I have to go downtown, if you know anybody who can help you.

I’m sorry, but I have nothing to do with it.

Sweetheart, did Rosanna explain you everything?

Don’t take it personally, it’s nothing against you, it’s the best solution.

When we first met, you were so creative and you owned nothing, and now that you have everything, or that I have everything, you can do nothing anymore.

Anyway, Rosanna’s got all the information.

Can I at least take the shoes you gave me for my birthday?

No, you can’t take anything.

No money or anything that’s mine, no clothes, just nothing.

You have to have to do everything on your own.

Finish that painting within two weeks,

otherwise it’s over.

Has she changed her mind?

Can you stay?

(MUSIC)

Here we are.

Are you sure I drop you off here?

Thank you.

Bye.

Mom.

Yes, I’m coming home,

by this evening. Yes, by this evening.

Okay? Bye.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello?

Tell me.

I’m calling for the rent offer,

some information.

Look, it’s six hundred euro for direct deposit.

The house is nice, with furniture, just outside the city, but there’s a bus that takes you here.

Via Tommasi 27.

Hurry up, because someone is coming to see the place right now.

Is there anything online that I can see?

Via Tommasi 27,

within an hour, or I’ll give it away.

Hello?

So, you give me four hundred euro and stay for the rest of the month. You can naturally use everything.

Are we going to sign a contract or something?

How long are you staying for?

I don’t know.

Ok, look, I have other houses too,

if you need to stay longer,

you’ll give me four hundred euro more, in advance, of course.

Think about that, take it or leave it. I can call someone else who has already confirmed.

Here’s the thing, there’s a little problem with the lock.

I’ve just changed it.

Maybe I got the wrong key.

Not this one.

May it’s not the key.

Wait, here we are. I did it.

Do you want it or not?

I can call the other guy, who has already confirmed.

Ok, I’ll call him.

Alright, it’s ok.

It’s alright? Ok.

Ok.

I think everything works here, but if there’s any problem, just call me, you got my number.

I don’t answer anyways.

What do you mean you don’t answer?

Just kidding.

(TRAFFIC SOUNDS)

(CHORALE VOICES)

(ROCK MUSIC)

(CHORALE VOICES)

Hurry up, fuck, come on!

Calm down.

The fuck calm down. Got it?

We’ve got two tonight.

Come on.

Come on, come on.

I can’t clean it by myself.

I can’t, fuck! Do you really want the money? Do you?

Do you want it or not?

So quit breaking balls, come on.

Excuse me.

Can you be quiet?

Who the fuck are you?

Me?

No, me. Yes, you.

Nothing, sincerely.

Listen, sincerely, get the fuck away or I’ll kick you down the stairs.

Take your time. I’ll go back to bed.

Yeah, good, go back to sleep.

Goodnight.

Yeah, goodnight.

Well, what the fuck are you doing?

Get back to work.

He’s gone.

Can you quiet down?

Come on, go!

Go, go!

Come on, go!

Excuse me, do you have a pencil 5B?

I’m actually leaving.

It’s only that I have this idea in my mind and I don’t know how to resolve it without a pencil.

It’s nice how you fixed this place.

This is pretty.

What do you do exactly?

Yes, I’ve been living here not long too.

It’s not so bad.

You can see the sea and hear the seagulls. That matters to me.

What number did you say?

5B.

I saw a guy passing here in the evening before.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Where are you from?

I’m actually leaving.

Where are you going?

So you’re not going somewhere. Aren’t you?

It’s a particular story.

The particular thing is always interesting.

It’s out of the norm.

You know, it’s not common.

If you want to see it that way, that’s fine.

You should come see what I do sometimes.

I live up there. You only need to go upstairs.

Yeah.

Do you smoke?

No, I don’t.

I mean, weed.

No.

You must have tried sometimes, haven’t you?

No.

Sorry, you just look very tense.

I’m not tense, I just want to go.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you.

Sorry.

I always talk too much.

I allowed myself to make some coffee.

Hi Andrea.

Hi Rosalia.

Here you are.

Where are the cups?

Over here?

Do you know each other?

Maybe you have not noticed that we live nearby.

More than noticed, I have heard you.

Here you are. Sugar?

Listen, sorry, I behaved very badly, but you should understand me, nice to meet you.

Rosalia.

Mrs. Rosalia has a sad story to tell.

Sad? Don’t mind. Sad stories…

No, believe me. It’s a sad one.

You can tell me the story next time.

Thank you.

I really have to go now.

No, you have to drink my coffee.

Come. I thought it was…

Thank you.

You make me feel guilty by doing so.

Have your coffee.

Have you heard Rosalia’s choir?

Yes, I have.

Nice, huh?

Yes.

We’ve been singing for many years, you know.

Yeah.

It’s been,

It’s been about 18 years,Laura was a child.

They sing folk songs.

We’ve been even abroad, we’ve been to Australia, France, everything has been paid for. No expenses. We ate. Everything else.

If you don’t drink it, I won’t be able to ask you how it was. Come on.

Is it good?

Admit it. It’s spectacular.

Ok, I’m out.

I’ll wait for you. All you need to do is go upstairs.

The stairs.

Andrea is a beautiful person, you know?

She’s helped me a lot, she always helps me, it’s good to have neighbors like her.

It got dirty? Let me see. Wait. You have to change it. Where do you keep your shirts?

I don’t know.

What do you mean you don’t know? You live here. They must be here.

Here we are. I think this one works out. Like this, yes, it looks good.

It’s not mine.

Who does it belong to?

I don’t even know, I’m just renting this place.

It’s ok, rent this one too.

So, what do you think for lunch?

I’m actually leaving.

Put on this t-shirt and then I’ll go.

See you later.

Where have you been?

Do you think the painting is going to paint itself?

I was trying to find inspiration.

Pick up your brushes and finish this thing.

I can’t. It’s too noisy.

You can, you can.

I thought that having an exchange of opinions would help you.

You’re almost there. Just this much.

Maybe a chat with a colleague.

It doesn’t work like that.

If you say so, it doesn’t work.

Find your way. I don’t know how to help you.

Luca, please. This is Luca, he is a painter too.

Nice to meet you.

And so?

So?

Just this much. Just this much.

I see your future so blackened.

What about if he tries to put a cloth over it?

Sorry, but I don’t think that it would work. It’s nuts.

Michele has tried all the possible ways to finish the painting, so…

We are all going to lose our rep on this.

I’m going home.

Home? Have you got a home now? Since when?

Yes.

Where did you buy that shirt?

I found it at home.

It reminds me of something.

Listen, Luca, have you seen the way he left us?

(PIANO MUSIC)

Hey, you!

Me?

No, I’m talking with my sister.

Yes, you! Come here, come on.

I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything.

You’d better! Come here, come on.

What’s the matter?

Have you seen such a thing?

What?

These coffins.

These coffins are serious business.

Look, this is not my thing.

I’m fucking telling you. This is luxury! Five, six thousand euro each.

How much?

Five, six thousand euro each!

Five, six thousand euro each! Fuck! Fuck, I said fuck? Fuck, I said fuck, I’m sorry.

Are you dumb?

I’m not used to speaking like that.

Like that what?

Bad words.

Got it, you’re dumb, alright. The intention is what counts.

What?

Okay, forget about that. Let’s get back where we were at.

How are your relatives doing?

Just saying all alright?

Anybody’s got an illness, an issue?

Friends? What about your friends? How are your friends doing? You got friends?

You’re crazy!

If I need you, I’ll be back!

Look at this!

Come back, come back,

look at you, fuck.

Your greed, no regrets, no repentances.

And so, your ancestry, your past and future ancestors, no, so your...

Oh, my goodness!

A new fellow enters our lodging, an outlander looking for some relief?

I’m supposed to live here.

My goodness, other people are lodging in our lodging.

But the furies from the past don’t scare us. Together we’re united and stronger.

Can you tell me who you are?

My poor dear, words come and go. But…

Not on this, fuck! Fuck, I said fuck.

My dear knight, this vocabulary is not appropriate for a gentleman.

I know Salvo, but you can’t stay here.

You can’t stay here.

Alright?

The wasteland I’ve crossed.

he stormy seas I’ve sailed.

Pitiless monsters I’ve stabbed,

and now that I got to Ithaca, you noble friend, would you dare to stop my immense journey, taking me back to my cruel faith?

Do whatever you want, Stay, try, try. Just don’t move and shut up. Thanks.

Yes, tell me.

Can you tell me who’s this person here in my house?

Yeah, yeah, I forgot to tell you, it’s my cousin.

You didn’t tell me there was someone here.

Yeah, a very good friend. He’s got an audition.

I need space, I need silence.

It doesn’t work like that, fucking bitch!

Did I say fucking bitch?

I said fucking bitch, fucking bitch.

Look, he’s a very calm person, I promised him, he’ll sleep on the couch, he doesn’t get anything dirty. Take it easy.

Listen, let’s do this: I’ll let you stay a few more days free, just don’t stress me out. Now I got things to do.

Ok. Alright. Ok. Alright.

Thank you.

Come in.

Sorry.

Hi.

Hi, I brought you the pencil.

Thanks, I’m already done.

Interesting.

Do you think so?

I do. How long have you been painting?

Actually, I’ve never even started.

Don’t even tell me.

Are you getting used to this place?

Now someone crazy just got here.

Who’s that?

I have no idea, just one who says he’s got an audition.

How did it go with Rosalia?

Good, why?

She’s always anxious about her daughter, you know.

Is she dead?

Dead? No. Not even.

Worse.

What’s worse than death?

Here’s the story. Rosalia’s got a daughter, but it’s not hers. Well, she came from Sicily and she got together with a man from here, who’s got this daughter, Laura.

Rosa brought her up as she was hers, actually even better, she raised her, took care of her, treated her like a princess.

And then suddenly…well, it’s better that she tells you the story.

Yes, at this point.

Laura’s father suddenly disappears, he’s incurable ill, he’s dying, and then, one day he goes away at once. Disappeared, maybe dead.

Fact is, it’s a mess. Laura takes it badly, she’s nervous, anxious, one day she drinks, gets drunk and she is taken in.

hey make the analysis and decide to put her in cure exactly where she is now.

But the paradox is not just this one, but the fact that only one signature is needed to get her out, and it’s her father’s.

The dead.

Sounds like a little bullshit.

Bullshit?

I said bullshit, did I?

Maybe you didn’t understand.

It’s been years that Rosa’s been waiting for the documents to get Laura out, but they don’t arrive.

(MUSIC)

Laura ,stop it.

Stop it the fuck.

You’re kidding me.

Do you realize where you are?

Do you realize that I don’t realize?

I don’t see anything strange here.

If you keep up with this attitude, I’ll take everything off.

What’s everything? Is the phone everything? I can stay still.

You can’t see what I see.

I can’t show you what I see, because we don’t speak the same language.

Take it easy. Are you hungry?

I want to get out of here.

I can’t help you with that.

Who can help me?

What should I do? Tell me.

Maybe I should organize myself.

You’ll see, they’ll come soon to get you.

I can’t even see anybody.

Do you love me?

You’ll see, soon it will all come back to you.

No, no. Wait, wait. Listen,

listen, I have to talk to her. Just let me in for five minutes.

I’m sorry.

Let me in for five minutes.

I can’t let you in madam. I’m sorry.

It’s you again.

You dare this, you dare to enter my reign.

What hope pushes you towards this gambling?

To die or to live?

Life will undermine you.

Unsheath your foil and pray for your gods,

should they duel.

Now you’ll tell me what we are going to do.

He’s not answering.

Fucking fuck!

Take it easy.

Take it easy, what? Now tell me, how can we do it?

We’ll do it in two.

Shut the fuck up.

Hey Michele! Get up! Michele!

It’s been a long time since we departed.

Finally, you and I can decide about our future.

Who the fuck are you? Where’s Michele, huh?

Why am I asking…

Michele, get dressed.

Come on, get up!

What’s happening?

Hurry up. We don’t have all night.

What’s going on?

Just give me a hand.

What do you mean a hand?

I’ll tell you on our way. Like the song, you know.

I have to go to work tomorrow.

This is work too. We’re not going fishing.

Is it all legal, isn’t it?

Yes, sure, it’s all legal. Come on.

Where the fuck you took this uniform?

Oh, here we go with this fuck again…I’ll wait for you outside. Get ready!

My noble mercenary captain,

your time has arrived with no tolls.

Be noble, you demon.

Go fuck yourself.

Get a move on, Michele, we have stuff to be done.

What the fuck are we doing?

Fishing, don’t you see? Come on, let’s go.

I’m leaving.

Where the fuck you’re going?

At this point, you’re involved. Nothing changes a fuck.

Come, come on.

Listen, how long have you been doing this job?

Oh, for a lifetime.

Don’t you feel guilty?

What for?

I don’t know, all the families spending their money for their beloved ones…and you..

Don’t say bullshit, it’s a job like any other, import and export,

and in the end, the intention is what counts, like the song, isn’t it?

Like song?

What do you do?

I paint.

Would you call it a job? Come on, you’re kidding

Yes, it is a job, why?

Seriously? Do you earn a lot of money?

Forget about this.

It could be a new direction for my business.

Go fuck yourself, please.

Yes, but why are you this defeated?

It’s a long story.

Look, you could make the company logo.

Company?

Yeah, I resell with invoices, you fool, it’s not under the table.

Go fuck yourself.

Yeah, go fuck yourself.

Listen, when it’s time,

it is time.

I saw you’ve got weights in your room, how are you doing with your muscles?

What does it mean?

Well, like always, come on, get up.

No.

Come on, get up.

No, stop!

why do you treat it that way, huh?

[fight]

(MUSIC)

You should have kicked him.

I don’t even know how to kick.

What ? What do you mean you don’t know how to kick? That’s nonsense.

What are we listening to?

What? This is the magnificent Romica Puceanu!

Puce what?

Puceanu!

(MUSIC)

Rosalia

Ah!

Hey, it’s me. Calm down

No, help!

It’s just me.

No, that’s not possible, you are dead. Why are you here?

I got myself artificially hibernated.

Hibernated, what?

Hibernated?

Quit doing like that! I have already enough troubles. You don’t get it, I am dead.

Help!

I mean, officially dead.

Officially dead? What are you talking about? Officially dead?

You’ve abandoned us for all these years.

What about Laura?

Laura saw you dead and then you disappeared.

I know, I got myself artificially hibernated, and I thought maybe in one hundred years, instead what a fuck.

They couldn’t hibernate you as a dead?

No, I don’t trust that kind of hibernation.

Where is Laura?

You disappeared,

she got crazy about that.

She was admitted to psychiatric hospital. Do not worry,

we needed your signature to get her out and you weren’t there anymore. You’ve been officially declared dead though, documents will arrive, don’t worry,

don’t worry, we’ll get her out.

I’ll go get her.

Are you dumb? You’re officially dead.

Calm down.

Hi.

Hi. Not today though.

Superintendence said that if you don’t finish…

I don’t give a shit about superintendence, alright? Keep drawing.

There’s a lady over there who’s waiting for you.

What does she want?

No idea.

Honey.

Honey?

Honey a fuck.

Excuse me.

Excuse me a fuck.

What’s this vocabulary Michele?

What’s the matter? Do you have anything to say?

Nothing,

I just came along to see how you’re doing, if you have finished the painting, what happened to your eye?

Do you even realize what you have done?

You’re upset.

What I have done, I’ve done it for you honey, to shake you up.

For me? To shake me up?

Yeah, right.

Right?

Yeah, right.

Yeah! Come here, I’ll shake you up.

Michele stop.

Did you get crazy?

Have you ever tried to live with no roots, to own nothing, huh?

No, you have not, you are used to having all this, you just don’t know what it feels like. I do though.

I do

I have tried to live without anything and I know that it is like to be nobody.

Fact is that to be nobody means to be somebody, because being nobody is being somebody. Did you get it?

No, I don’t get what you are saying.

What I know is that I gave you everything.

Everything.

What day was it yesterday?

Tuesday?

Tuesday, sure.

Yeah, it was our anniversary, I’m sorry, that’s fine, we’ll celebrate another time.

It’s ok. These things don’t matter.

They’re just numbers.

Have you ever listened to Romica Puceanu?

Romica who?

Romica Puceanu.

Romica Puceanu. Have you ever listened to her?

hen I listen to her songs I feel free, I feel the wind, I feel like going away,

if only I finished this fucking painting, I would know what to look for, something new.

Honey, I don’t know this Rominca.

Romica, Puceanu.

Ok, anyway, have you started smoking weed?

You just don’t get things. Do you know that life is only about perspective? A fucking point of view. Here, there, from one side.

I don’t want to be rude, but if I were you, I would finish the altarpiece.

Otherwise, you have to pay a penalty. Quit seeking the truth and the right perspective.

Yes, sure, penalty.

Come on, I’ll see you for dinner.

Is that ok if my sister is coming too?

Have a shower, too.

Romica Puceanu.

Can you help me?

Giovanni?

Luca.

Luca.

Michele, how are you doing?

Look at that eye,

It’s nothing.

it looks bad.

What are you doing here?

Follow me. Come on.

I can’t, I have to finish this.

I don’t know anyone else who can help me. Hurry up.

What happened?

Quit everything and follow me. Come one.

Michele, supervisor is arriving and wants you here.

It’s ok when you are here, it’s enough, right?

You have to be here too

It’s alright.

Please, Michele.

I know you are hiding over there, come out!

Rosalia, calm down.

Laura!

I can’t, please, tell him, he’s hiding there.

Le’s go, come on.

Laura!

Mom, get me out of here!

Please, calm down.

Where are you going?

You can’t stay on the balcony.

I don’t understand how you can let me stay here.

I’ve nothing to do with it.

Do I have anything to do with it?

See? You make your mum suffer.

You are not allowed in. You can’t enter.

Laura!

Have you seen her?

Let’s go home.

What happened? Michele, tell me.

(CHORALE VOICES)

Come in.

I fucked up.

You did the right thing.

Are you sure?

Maybe.

Exactly.

How are you feeling now?

I feel more alive, yet I’m concerned about Rosalia, have you seen her face?

Yes, I have.

Have you been living here for long?

Haven’t you already asked?

Do you have a family? Someone? Don’t know.

Maybe it’s time to open that box.

Do you mean that?

Yes I do.

What are you up to today?

I still have to finish that painting or it’s a mess.

You still have a lot of time.

Forget about this.

Andrea!

Andrea!

Hi, how are you?

I need your help.

Sure, what’s the matter?

Come. Here he is. He’s back.

Who is he?

Laura’s father.

The one who died?

Exactly.

Fuck

Exactly. He’s also dying. Sorry for that.

It’s ok, I think it won’t take long.

So what?

I can’t have him at home, if someone sees him, we’ll do it from the start.

He could…

He could…and if he dies in the middle of it?

Maybe.

I’m sorry for that.

So what?

So what? We have to hide him.

He can stay at my place anyway.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Where have you been this long?

It’s a long story.

Long stories for everyone…

Shall I take him to your place then? Thank you Michele.

What’s this?

Don’t worry about that.

It’s good!

Sure it is. I’m not sure, can I tell you something?

Tell me.

Actually, it’s a secret.

Tell me.

I’m not sure about that.

Tell me.

Promise you won’t tell anyone.

Fucking tell me.

It’s serious business.

Tell me.

See the sign over there? That thing resembling a level crossing?

So?

Well, now we’ll get under that and you’ll leave all you troubles behind.

It’s serious business.

Ok, I’ll do it.

This is freedom.

Do you mean that?

A mind at ease.

It sounds impossible to me at this point.

Come on, think about that.

I’ll do.

Try.

I’ll do.

Go!

What about a stroll along the beach?

Why are you laughing?

Just because.

Why?

You make me laugh.

Me?

The good life is at hand. You just need to see it.

Yeah, right, the intention counts.

What do you mean?

Think of the guy of the coffins.

What is he like?

He’s a good one. He makes me laugh.

Doesn’t the actor make you laugh?

This one is totally wild. If they catch him, they’ll lock him in jail.

Right, anyway this is a long story.

What?

Who’s mental and who’s not. Who is supposed to decide about that and how.

I’ve got problems with expressing myself.

I don’t think it’s important expressing yourself as you speak.

When you listen to music or watch a movie, or when you see a child passing by and asking his mom for an ice cream and she doesn’t have any money with her.

Everything is limited, partial.

Time and space are not important. What matters is the exact moment when you’re at something.

I get it. Sometimes I feel the same way.

Something connects me with the past and brings me to the future and I feel immortal.

Is that love?

I don’t know. When I got it, I felt empowered.

t’s crazy. You feel empty and that’s good.

You feel empty and you’re fulfilled.

You’re so fucking complicated.

Now?

What?

Are you going to dive?

Come.

I can’t.

Come on.

Come on.

The weed was good, right?

This is 2750 euro,

as you can see this is excellent workmanship.

Red?

It’s a trend now.

We are in Trieste though.

Just because we’re approaching the holidays, I’ll bleed myself dry and…

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that. So forget about red. What can I give you that is worth this budget?

Do what you can

Hold on a moment.

They maybe don’t get that I am working.

What’s the matter?

Do you realize that few people die in this period? Holy shit.

I didn’t get it right, but I guess they are moving our neighbor’s daughter.

She was crying and the ladies have also stopped singing, that’s the only good part of it.

Ok, thanks.

Listen, there’s someone in your house.

Yeah.

I don’t understand, he reminds me of someone, but…

We’ll speak later.

Alright.

So what about having a look at the new collection then?

Are you sure that you are all doing fine in the family?

In case we can add one more coffin to the red one, at a real convenient price, huh?

Come on, don’t react like that. Come on. Madam.

Wait.

Rosa, what happened?

They’re moving her.

What are you talking about?

It’s all your fault.

Why did you assault the nurses?

He just wanted to help.

Well, I can tell.

Michele, where are you going?

Where is he going?

(MUSIC)

Your absence was too anxious to me.

The neighbor talked to me.

The food, that was ready for a while, is soon to be warm.

…your greed, no regrets, no repentances…

Hi, is Michele at home?

A sleepless night he spent, the dark wasteland he crossed.

Excuse me.

Your ancestors to be…

Alright then, bye.

This blade will pierce you and your greed.

Hi,

where are you going?

Not sure, maybe I’m off to see my parents.

What about the painting?

Painting what?

Aren’t you going to finish it?

Somebody else will take care of it.

I thought you were fond of it.

It doesn’t mean anything to me

Stop talking like that Michele.

How should I talk?

Try at least

I can’t.

Rosalia didn’t mean to hurt you. It was just a bad moment.

By this time, I know these bad moments.

Running away and leaving the unfinished behind is not an easy journey, trust me.

Are you lecturing me?

You don’t see so many things Michele.

Can you leave me alone, please?

Yes.

When you get used to things, they get worthless.

It’s embarrassing.

I’m going to lose my rep and my company will take a loss.

I’ll call Michele.

So, this is supposed to be your proposal, your result? Congratulations.

No, this is only a draft, we already have a valid alternative.

I’m only reminding you that the Government is involved and only three days are left. You’ll see.

Have a good day. Goodbye.

I’ll see you.

Bye.

Bye.

To me it isn’t that bad.

You think this thing is not that bad, don’t you?

Then tell me what is the meaning of it.

This is the line connecting all the religions.

Forget about that.

Did I say something wrong?

We need to finish this, there’s no other solution.

I’ll take care of it.

No, you are done. Please give him his money, I don’t want to see him around again.

What if we use the altarpiece of a popular painter?

No way, we promised the original.

This much?

It’s enough, get out of here.

What about the painter who lives next to your second home?

Which second home do you mean? My friend’s apartment?

Yes, that one.

She is talented, isn’t she?

The one who paints those weird things?

Yes, she’s weird too.

Yes, it could work. Let’s go there.

Yes, she is not even on Facebook.

Let’s go, let’s get moved. Come on.

Ok, don’t get mad about that.

What do you want to eat this evening?

Come on, I know it’s hard in the beginning, but you’ll get used to it.

Can I listen to music, at least?

No music here.

I will die this way.

It won’t last long.

Do you like me, at least?

You tell me what you want to eat and I’ll answer.

Do you know that when you start a journey, sometimes…

What?

Forget it.

Come on, tell me.

You are never the same person.

You sleep,

you ride your bike and drive your car, you walk and

never come back again.

You know, you can’t go back.

Do you like rice?

You can’t be the same person you were before.

You change and everything expires.

It also depends on what you do.

The more your days are similar, the less you change.

Do you eat meat?

In the end, people fear.

Are you vegetarian?

Why am I talking to you? You reminds me of the other one from yesterday. Can I make a call, at least?

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

What’s the matter?

I need to take action.

Don’t even think about that.

You came back as a dead, there’s nothing you can do.

It’s not my fault if they fucked everything up. I’ll sue them.

What are you going to tell them?

Where have you been? You got yourself hibernated.

It usually works,

but I don’t feel good as I used to.

You haven’t changed.

Of course not, I was frozen.

How did you come up with this idea?

When you are told that you are going to live your last week.

Please don’t remind me of that period.

I can’t help it.

Let me just get Laura out of there,

then we’ll think about that.

Now go hide yourself.

I am sorry.

Any news?

Nothing. I don’t even know where she is.

Worse than the last time, huh?

I can’t.

Don’t say that, let’s have a coffee.

No thanks, I’m fine. I feel like we went back to that period.

When?

When they took her away for the first time.

I didn’t even live here.

Rosa, try to be strong.

How can I be strong?

I am lonely.

Ok, I have you on my side. There is the dead too. What about Michele? I can’t be mad at him, he went through hell.

He left.

What do you men left?

I saw him at the train station.

He’s so cute.

Yes, he really is.

Maybe we can do something.

No, I think he’s already left.

Sit here, your good at computers, try to find out where he is.

Michele?

Laura.

Alright.

Next one.

I haven’t my mobile with me, but I have my phone number: 0039… no, 0049…

Nevermind, let’s get started.

I am sorry.

Do you mind if I turn it on?

No music is allowed.

Come on, we are listening.

I will defeat you and your own kind, with no mercy.

This blade, this sword, this iron will pierce you and your greed, no repentances. .

And so, your ancestry,

your past and future ancestors will not remember,

they will not remember, because the sorrow will be too much to handle.

Salvo.

Too incandescent the glare of my blade.

Salvo.

My pierced blade.

The glare of my blade.

My pierced blade. The glare of my blade.

Come on.

And so, the glare of my blade will pierce your dream over and over again. Your desires.

Are you ok?

And so, the glare of my blade will pierce over and over again.

Next one.

Next one.

Can I just finish?

What a fuck.

You can speak.

Of course.

Come on. I’ll tell you on our way.

What are you doing?

If you don’t tell me where we are going, I won’t go anywhere.

Come on

Come on.

Don’t! Come on.

Leave me alone.

Don’t!

I can’t even die?

As far as I know, you are already dead.

Come on, I’ll take you to Laura.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Give me your penances. That way the dawn would not be so far away.

Your soul will be pierced.

Come on, come with me.

Are you my mom’s friends?

Come on.

No, you are crazy.

Stop talking, it’s comfortable, you’ll find peace, come on.

That way the dawn would not be so far away.

Memories. Hopes.

No, my ancestry. I must avenge my ancestry. I must. Revenge.

You are crazy.

Actually…

It’s time to celebrate.

Oh, sweetheart.

Oh, you completely run out of everything. Fridge is empty.

Yeah, right?

Do you remember when we used to come here?

Sure I do, it’s been a long time though.

What are these people doing in my house?

No idea, I’m on the job

We are here to help Michele. He lives here.

What do you mean he lives here?

For how long?

Why is there a coffin in here?

Michele, where are you going?

Live him alone.

Betrayed he looked, at the exit of this lodging.

As far as the red coffin is concerned, if you like…

My Heroine.

No scratches on it. One delivery.

Salvo, this is not a good moment.

This is crazy.

Who are you?

Shall we have a coffee?

Yes please.

A splash of grappa?

A lot of new fellows in my property.

Oh my God, Yes coffee please.

It’s not a good moment, Salvo.

Let’s have this coffee then.

(APPLAUSE)

So you’re leaving.

Yes, I am. It seems so.

Michele, thank you so much.

No, I have to thank you all.

Thank you so much.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Come get inside, they don’t have to see her.

Here he is.

Bye Bobana, I’m leaving.

Think it over. This is a real job, not like painting.

Of course, I will.

Let me hug you.

You’re not going to end well.

Hi.

Hi.

They told me to give you the key.

He fixed everything in the end.

Yes, I finished the painting and he turned a blind eye.

Aren’t you sorry about Francesca?

What did you say about the sign? Go go go!

I love you and I’m sorry that you’re leaving.

I don’t even know where to go.

Call me whenever you stop.

Yes, if I stop.

Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?

I am.

Do you mean that you, for this long…

I think so.

(MUSIC)
