presents: IDEA TRADE 3

Well? Why did you leave without waning me? Get in,l will accompany you to Sant'Eufemia...come on

ln less than an hour they arrived at Sant'Eufemia... and everyone's welcome was very warm

Attention, my friends... We are gathered here...to celebrate the return of Cesira and Rosetta

who we haven't seen for more than ten years.

My niece has made a fortune in Rome

and for this she deserves a nice toast Here's to your health... Cheers

And to yours... Cheers...

Why don't you toast with us?

I don't have any desire to make a toast,okay?

We're drinking and eating here while people are dying, it's shameful.

Who's this jerk? What is he doing in your home?

Now tell me if he's got a Fascist party membership card

Many apologies Secretary, my compatriot is not a bad man...he is just an idealist...

I swear to you that he's harmless

let's dedicate "faccetta nera" to the Secretary, our friend, who brought Cesira and Rosetta back...to our village

Music

23,2425,26,27,28,29 e 30... Uncle, here you are, these are the thirty thousand lire you asked me for...

Remember that you have to accommodate Rosetta and I for six months without asking for anything in return

all inclusive,meals and accommodation

Of course sweetheart,you know, if it was not for the war I wouldn't ask for a penny...but what can i do

nowadays peasants have also learned to be merchants

Imagine,the other day they asked me six hundred Lire for two pieces of butter and a wheel of cheese,and you know what?

Before the war you could buy a bicycle with that money

Well what can you do Uncle, we can only hope that this war will be over as soon as possible

But be careful with all this money in your pocket, if you want I could keep it..

it would be much safer in the hands of a man

Don't worry about it uncle...My money won't touch anyone

-I'm going to get some fresh air...It's so hot in here..

So,how are you doing? Well

Are you happy to be with your uncle

I couldn't see you for a long time,eh? Last time,you were such a little girl...eh?

But what a beautiful young woman you've grown into,really

But where do all these airplanes fly?

They pass every day..they are flying to bomb Rome

Hopefully they won't throw bombs here as well

They don't care about bombing peasant houses..

they want to win the war... not to kill four poor wretches like us

You must excuse me about this morning... I didn't know about your political standing

Don't worry...l don't really have any political ideals..

I don't care if the Germans or the Americans Win...

it would be enough if this war just ended and they would finally leave us in peace

It was Mussolini who wanted this war and we are all paying the consequences

What does the Pope say in Rome?

Ah he certainly makes moving speeches

Instead of making moving speeches, he should have distanced himself from fascism

Oh come on... Enough about fascism..

But do you really think...the Germans, the Americans or the Russians ...are any better than Mussolini?

Sorry Cesira, I didn't mean to make you nervous... Do you mind going for a walk?

Il show you the valley

Let's go then, it's too hot here.

maybe it's better in the hills.

Let's go

Your mother went for a walk with Michele... you know...the secretary has told me so many things about you...

he told me the story of the train... and that you had sex with one of his colleagues at the command...

Look at me...

if you don't want me to tell your mother everything... you must be nice to me, and do everything your uncle tells you

Come with me...let's go to a quieter place

Now let's spend some time together... after that I swear everything will go back to normal...ok?

Do you mind giving me a kiss?

No...Don't kiss me this way, I want a real kiss... how would you kiss your boyfriend,eh? Come on...

Good morning..

Uhm... Just as l thought you didn't have a wink of sleep... I brought your coffee

Thank you darling

How far are you with the novel?

I'm almost finished...

Listen,would you be so kind and call Amalia...

ask if she could come over with her daughter this afternoon... I'd like to read the novel to her...before submitting it to Valentino

But can't you make them come over tomorrow? At least rest a little

It's been almost two days since you last slept...

Thank you anyways, then I'll call her later myself

You have a temper...

Ugh...getting old is making you unbearable...

I'm going to call Amalia... and I'll empty the ashtray too

Great idea, thank you

The relationship between Cesira and Michele became more and more intimate

and unknowingly, a feeling not dissimilar to love was born

Cesira, what's up, did something happen?

I'm very worried about my daughter,for the last few days she's been constantly crying for no reason...

it seems that things here just get worse, instead of better

Maybe it's just because she still can't speak...or it's the distance from her home and friends,she's a young girl...

-it's understandable,isn't it?

NO,no there must be something else...

Something happened to her...she keeps something secret from me...that she doesn't want to tell

Who knows, maybe she fell in love with some guy who doesn't like her...at her age it's a normal thing, Cesira..

Listen, don't contend,please I know what's normal for my daughter...

I don't understand why you're always so ready to attack me. look...dialogue between people is an important thing,isn't it?

Yes,you're right, sorry, but this situation makes me anxious

You don't have to get angry with me, I just want what's good for you...and your serenity

Are you from here?

Yes, I'm from Sant'Eufemia, but the lady is from Rome

We need someone who knows the pathways well... wel must go to Valmontone

lf you want, l can accompany you as I was born here... and I assure you that I know all the tracks well

Perfect... Now we want to eat, we'll leave tomorrow morning at dawn

I'm sorry, but... I have nothing

Wait... l can ask my uncle, surely, he will find something to give you

Great... Then let's go... We are hungry, so hurry up...

Well..

I've just talked to Amalia... she has got the flu and she can't come

But she said that Marisa would be here at around five o'clock

What a pity... I'd have liked to read the novel to both of them

Elsa, would you do me one last kindness?

Tell me

-If you would bring me another coffee, you would make me the happiest man in the world

Immediately boss

Do you have a party membership card from the Fascist party?

Certainly...i've been a cardholder since 1935

Mussolini is doing well with the Italian Social Republic but for that he must thank us...us Germans...

or else he would still be rotting on the Gran Sasso

I completely agree with you.Ah, how is your Italian so good?

I've been studying it at school...and I've perfected it in your country... I've been in Italy for three years

And...where do you come from

From Cassino... Yesterday, the allies broke the Gustav line...they'll be here,in two days at most

-I advise you to get rid of your Fascist party membership card

Where's the lady who brought me here?

In her room with her daughter

Ah,so she has a daughter..

And how old is she?

Sixteen

The man who will accompany us tomorrow in the mountains... is he her husband?

No...no, He's just a friend...a friend

Ah,a friend... Uhm... Go and call the lady

But, excuse me...why do l have to call her?

Don't worry...he doesn't understand Italian

You must call her because after dinner I want to have fun With her

Before calling her here...tell her to be submissive...you know for me, I don't like violence,and i hate violence against women...

Tell her to treat me as if l were her husband with love and devotion

I think it will be a little bit difficult to get her to accept...

All right...if she doesn't accept.. I'll authorize my soldier to rape her daughter..

then of course I'll give the order to shoot everyone here... including you too

Call her

Here's the coffee

Thank you

Do you know what?

I was thinking last night that when you finish writing your novel..

I'll start writing an essay on eroticism in literature

I really want to see if you will be as thoughtful to me, as I was to you

Eroticism in the literature? But...where did you come up with that idea?

Well... Since sex and eroticism in our private life are just distant memories

I'm refreshing the memory with literature

Good luck with your work

Thanks

She was still forced to suffer a sexual blackmail, but this time,her and Rosetta's life were at stake...

Pour me some l wine

Sit here

Marisa has arrived, can I let her in?

ln a few minutes, I'm almost finished

All right, I'll offer her tea until then

Michele left with the Germans at dawn for the paths he knew perfectly,and that was the last time Cesira saw him

Michele has never returned to Sant'Eufemia, his body was found some months later in Valmontone's countryside...yes..

But what are you doing? Why are you packing the suitcases?

Because I must leave, the Germans said that the allies will arrive soon

But you can't leave,our agreement was for six months

Yes, I know, but things have changed

when the allies come, the first thing they'll do will be to kill me and anyone who has a party membership card

But l must wait for Michele to come back

Michele will never return, don't have any illusions, Cesi...

Michele will come back

Then you'll wait for him in a safe place in Rome... It is dangerous here,and now, my beauty...we should go

And everyone should go their own way

Stop,stop

Ma'am where are you going?

To Rome

I advise you not to go in that direction... get on the truck with the girl, we are headed to a safe place

The allies are coming from that side

And after that? Sooner or later we should learn to live with them, shouldnt we?

Ma'am I'm a journalist and she is my wife, we've been displaced to Sant'Agata

what I saw done by the French soldiers was frightening

My wife and I were saved because I showed my journalist card to an American officer

Eh, it's okay. The French too, will have to fight. For me,someone must win decisively, so the war ends

Wait. Ma’am..

We didn't see the war... we saw women and children raped by the Moroccans in front of their loved ones...

we saw castrated men and others impaled alive just for trying to defend their wn family

Please Ma'ams, don't go in that direction... come with us and get to safeiy with the girl

Mom, please, let's go with them

My love

I didn't understand the reason Cesira was crying. Only later did I realize that Rosetta had finally regained her speech

Good evening Alberto...excuse the intrusion. Elsa told me i could come in

Hello Marisa,come on in

How is your mom?

Fairly well...she just has a slight flu

May I give you a kiss?

Sure my dear

Are you crying

I've just finished the novel

It's always very sad to remember the events that you and your mom told me

It was just a bad time in our life

fortunately things now should definitely go better

Are you still convinced that it would be useful to tell everything down to the smallest details?

Even if I used fantasy names, someone might recognize you..

Perhaps in order to avoid embarrassment..

it would be more appropriate to omit the descriptions of some of the more intimate details..

Don't worry Alberto...the censors will do that

You'll see that in order to publish the novel,you and your publisher will be forced to make cuts and modifications..

as always, Catholic morality and politics will upset everything

You're right, many of my works have been hijacked and censored in the past

But this time I will not allow anyone to hinder my work

And you'll do it...

This novel must come out at all costs and must become a great success

Yesterday I was talking with mom...and by common agreement, we made an important decision that I must tell you

Go on

Well...we rethought the idea of ending the novel with a lie

We want you to tell the truth..

you must write that mom and I refused to climb into the truck and that we preferred to meet our destiny

But the agreement...was to avoid describing the brutality you suffered from those Moroccans

The deal changed Alberto..

our abuse will serve to make the world understand that human brutality has no flag

But this s concept is already present in the story..

the narrative is developed through the abuses and blackmails that you and your mom have suffered through by men..

without any distinction between political color or nationality

Yes,it's true...but no one will reflect on this because unfortunately we live in a male-dominated society

Moreover can imagine some of the more perverted readers could also take excitement from it

Because of this,my mom and i have decided that it's necessary to tell the whole truth

Our story must become a useful manifest

to ensure that people never forget the violence inflicted on milions of women by defeated armies and winners

This is our story and you must respect it, Alberto

All right
