I'll be thirty in a month. College degree. Enviable Job.

- What are you thinking? - At the faces they'll make.

You thought she'd be the right one and you went to live together.

Then those first times passed, as they always pass.

You started to get bored, you began to miss something. But what was it?

We have something to tell you.

What was it that you started to miss?

We're going to have a baby.

This is really wonderful! Why are we looking like idiots?

We should celebrate! My heart is pounding.

We have to drink a toast! Wait! Don't say anything without me!

I knew it. It will be a beautiful experience.

- This will be the first big change in your life. - I know.

- Won't you say anything, Papa? - I need a few minutes.

- Say if you're happy. - I'm happy if you're happy.- - I'm very happy!

- She's very happy. - Then I'm happy too.

- Will you get married? - We don't know yet.

- We're still thinking about it. - We live together, what would it change?

- It's to safeguard the child. - You're separated, but you took care of me.

There's only one bottle of champagne, it's not even cold. What do we care?

Love, you open it. I'm so clumsy.

- To you! - And to being grandparents. - Grandparents?

I'll become a grandma too? I never thought of that...

LAST KISS

- Your cousin's body didn't go back to the way it was. - She's built differently.

- And Silvia? - She has two kids...

- She's enormous now. - She gave birth a month ago.

Only 5 out of 10 get their bodies back. What if you don't like me?

- I'll always like you. - Are you sure? - Yes.

With pounds of cellulite and with insecurity complexes.

You're so handsome! How did I ever deserve you?

I'm getting ugly.

Did you hear what I said? Can't you turn off the TV when I talk to you?

- Why? - Because we never talk. - Don't start!

Something awful happened tonight. I envied my daughter

because she still has her whole life ahead of her.

Her man still looks at her that way.

What do you know? You've been moody since I met you.

- You're monotonous, repetitious. - You too. - You don't stimulate me.

You talk of stimulation? You haven't looked at me in years.

- I stopped looking for something pretty to see. - God, I'm so unhappy!

I'm so unhappy!

The problems start when you go home and there's three of you.

She'll be hysterical. She'll blame you for everything you didn't give her.

There are a million things she'll want from you!

She'll say you're irresponsible and lack paternal instinct.

- Remember the meeting. - OK.

Don't ever think this will be a walk in the park. It won't be!

- I want to leave him. - You've said that before.

It's a lifetime of waking near him, sleeping with him, yelling at him.

I want to cancel it all! I can do it now!

He has to be fed, changed and put back to sleep every 2 hours.

- How long do you rock him? - If he has gas it takes up to an hour.

As soon as you get him to sleep, he's hungry again and you've to start over.

You have to be aware that you'll age in six months.

And if you ask yourself if there's a way out, the answer will be "no".

There is no way out. Except if you run away.

Dale's coming in May. He asked if he and Christopher could stay here.

- We'll have the baby in May. - I'm writing there won't be any room.

- I go. - Will you be late? - No, I won't be late.

This is for Marco's wedding. Isn't that a special occasion?

It is for me!

- How old is he? - Our age.

- Have they been apart long? - Almost 6 months.

- Is she with another man? - She had an affair, but it's already over.

Now she's looking to fall in love. Who isn't looking for love?

Lovers. They don't need to look.

To us! To what we were and what we'll be!

And what we won't be!

To that bitch, she'll pay for what she did!

To all of them who slept around on us and who'll do it again!

Fuck off!

To your marriage, you're really fucking up!

Shut up, you have a six month old baby.

What if Arianna came back and asked you to marry her?

I wouldn't marry her! I'd tell her to fuck herself.

- We're here, sorry we're late. - I was getting acclimated.

- You see, I brought her! - You're the famous... - Anna.

- My pleasure, Michele. - I've told her everything about you. - Great !

- So if you leave while I'm talking, I'll know why. - I have to go.

- Is this it? - Yes.

You're crazy.

For them, the contemporary artist had to separate from the past

and immerge themselves in the contemporary world.

That made them exuberant, in continuous evolution.

I was born surrounded by paintings. My father was a famous art critic.

How's it going with your husband?

The boat is in good shape. It Just needs some work.

It's a '69 Wing. It cuts the water like a knife.

You can do the Greek coasts and get to lstanbul and wherever you want.

- I'm in no hurry. - Doesn't the boat belong to your uncle too?

He doesn't care a damn, he'll give it to me if I ask.

Come on, let's leave together!

- You're crazy! - Say it when you're sailing between the sky and sea.

- I don't want to be stuck in one place. - Neither do l.

- Nobody wants to be stuck. - Wait!

- So, you've moved house. - I put a daybed in my father's studio.

- Do you like it there? - No, separating after 1 8 years...

isn't easy for anyone. - I can imagine.

Would you like to have a drink at my place? Let's have a drink and talk.

- If you'd like to. - Yes, but I've had too much already.

- Let's go. - What about Luisa? - Tell her I'll take you home.

You can see her anytime, who knows when I'll see you again.

We're Taurus and Pisces. A perfect match.

To give a sense to life, you have to escape, try everything.

Why are we still here? I've decided to go away.

- You've said that for 1 0 years. - This time I'm really doing it.

- This is so cool! - I don't know if I can do it.

It's one of the last pieces of my father's collection.

- I made you another gin and tonic. - My head is spinning.

It's Just a drop.

- Why are you looking at me that way? - You're very charming.

Very beautiful.

Wait!

I have some cocaine.

- Just a little. - I've never taken it. - I did only once.

I found it in my son's room. I told him that I'd throw him out of the house.

In the end I was thrown out. "C'est la vie"!

Sit here next to me.

What would my wife say if she saw me here with you?

Why don't you try to relax a bit?

I'm an unhappy man. I'm very unhappy being alone.

I lost my wife and I'm unable to forget her.

What should I do? Can you tell me?

You shouldn't be here with me. I don't think you want it either.

Would you mind taking me home?

- Do you want to leave? - If you can't, I'll call a cab.

- No cocaine? - No!

- I'm doing something fucking stupid. - Be calm.

Nerves steady and have some pride! Jump!

Think of when you'll be an old shithead wearing slippers. Jump!

- You have to get pissed off, are you pissed? - No.

- Are you pissed? - No! - Three, two, one...

- What time is it? - It's three.

- Did you have fun? - Why don't you love me anymore?

You didn't have fun.

I have the honour of toasting my son and his lovely wife.

May you be happy!

Speech!...Speech!

- I'm overwhelmed. - Bravo!

I want to thank everyone for coming.

I dedicate this day to the woman I wanted to marry

before I even knew her name.

Winning her wasn't easy.

- She thought I was untrustworthy and superficial. - She was right!

- Wrong, she'll never find that to be true! - Bravo, Marco!

Kiss! Kiss!

- Where are you going? - I'll be right back. - Please, don't cry.

- What's her name? - Matteo, he's a boy.

- What should we tell her? - We'll say something.

- Hi, how are you? - Fine. - I haven't seen you lately.

- It's crazy we're meeting here. - I'd say so. I was going with them...

- I've been thinking about you. - Really?

I think I still have your phone number. Maybe we can see each other.

- I'll see you! - Yes, I'll be seeing you.

I don't remember where I've seen her.

- He's cute. - I screwed him one night, we were drunk off our faces.

I went home and threw up all over.

I'd screw him again if I could. Hard!

Arianna, may I speak to you? You know it hurts him to see you.

He won't even notice me with all these people here.

- Why should I keep hiding myself? - It's not about hiding.

- No? - You weren't supposed to come. - I changed my mind. - He feels bad.

- He felt bad before he met me. - I'm asking you to leave.

- You have some nerve! - He saw us.

Your friends are worried about you. They're throwing me out.

- You weren't supposed to come. - I changed my mind.

It's your problem if you can't stand the sight of me.

I have to clean up my life, if I don't get rid of your ghost, I can't do it.

- You are asking too much. - Why are you such a bitch?

Should I kill myself for you? Do you want to see me dead?

- You should never have come. - Why don't you get him out of here?

- You hate me, right? - No, I'm Just sorry I met you.

You're making yourself unbearable ruining what remained between us.

It's over. Pretend you never met me and start your life over again.

Calm down! Stop it!

You look like a shithead! Stop it!

Let's sit down, who cares about that bitch.

Go on, laugh. I want to see you two years from now.

He was fine where he was. He looks scared now. Come to Mama, dear.

- Did Papa scare you? - I didn't do anything. - Yes, you always do.

- He was fine where he was. I'll come with you. - Thanks.

How the fuck much longer can I stand this?

He's selfish, egocentric, he has all my father's faults.

- It must be a hard time for him too. - It's hard for everyone.

We're not kids anymore. He has to take his responsibilities.

It doesn't take much to be close to this munchkin.

When he feels safe he's fine, he relaxes.

- It must be a fabulous experience. - It's the best thing in the world.

- What are you drinking? - What ?

I haven't decided yet.

- Have we seen each other somewhere before? - Why?

- I think we have. - We've never seen each other before.

- You're right. - I'm Francesca. - Carlo.

- Have you been to the treehouse? - The treehouse?

There's a treehouse. Would you like to come?

It's all about pushing. They're born sooner if you push right.

There are courses you can take. You'd better take them.

If you push too hard... Iike my sister did.

- She strained and broke her capillaries. - That's awful!

- Isn't this fantastic? - It's totally absurd.

- Let's go up. - Come on!

- Are you the groom's friend? - We went to university together.

He, Adriano and l, do you know him?

- Are you from Florence? - Near Florence.

My parents moved here three years ago. I came with them.

- This is great! We see everyone and no one sees us. - It's true.

- Do you have a girlfriend? - Why? - Just to know.

- Sort of. - Having a crisis? - Yes, a crisis!

Everyone you ask says they're in a crisis. Why? - Who knows?

- Crises come and go. - Is yours coming or going? - Coming.

- Why? - I don't know. - There must be a reason.

- The passion isn't the same as it was. - Is that the reason? - One of many.

- It seems normal that passion goes after a while. - It's a bit sad, isn't it?

- I guess so. - What kind of Job do you do? - I work in advertising.

I want to be an actress! After the high school I'll come to an acting school.

- What do you study? - Classical studies. - How old are you? - 18.

- Really? - You thought I was younger. - No, older.

- How old did you think I was? - I don't know.

- How old are you? - Don't ask. - Twenty seven?

- Almost 30 and it makes me sick. - Why?

Once you're 30, you'll be 40 any minute...

Hello. Yes, I'll come down and we'll go.

I'm with three idiots who've wanted to leave for two hours.

- If you like, maybe we can see each other sometime. - What?

- Would you like that? - I would like that.

- Should we go down? - Whatever you say.

Of all my friends, I'm the only one who isn't married.

They all say "get married", "have a baby"...

For 1 0 years I was with someone who wouldn't let me go out.

That nightmare is over now and I'm enJoying my freedom.

You're right... Anyway, I'm Alberto.

- Do you know where they are? - No. Would you like my phone number?

- Yes. - Do you have a pen? - No, I don't.

- Francesca! - I'm coming. Come and see me at my school.

The Ducale High School. I get out at one thirty.

- Alright then. - I'll be expecting you.

- Wait. - You're so beautiful. - So are you!

- Have you seen Carlo? - No. - If she's with him she's dead.

- Stay calm. - I swear I'll kill her. - I told you to stay calm.

You'd better watch out, I'm dangerous. Lots of men can tell you that.

That doesn't scare me.

- You don't waste time, do you? - You're too beautiful!

Love! I've been looking for you for an hour, where were you?

I was right here.

Did you see how beautiful Adriano's baby is? We'll have one like that too.

- Aren't you excited? - Yes.

What are you thinking?

Of chasing her to tell her how wonderful it was to meet her.

Remember that you'll be a father and thoughts like this aren't very nice.

Finally! Papa asks about you continuously.

- How is he? - You'll regret everything you're doing. - I won't regret anything.

Don't raise your voice. Go to him.

Paolo's here. Do you want to say hello?

He asked if you've been to the store. Tell him you have.

I was there, Papa. Everything is fine.

- You're fooling with us. - Be quiet! - Why?

- That's what I've decided. - It's not what he wanted. - Please!

- Why? - I want to start feeling that my life has some sense to it.

What do you know!

- Why are you staring at me? - What would you do if I died?

- I'd buy a nice double breasted black Jacket. - Seriously.

Would you feel my absence or would you replace me with a younger wife...

who'd get along well with your silence?

- Would you find a woman as boring as you are? - You poison the dinner.

I've decided to leave you and this time I'll do it right.

- Really? - Yes. - You can't live without me.

And it's not because you're weak, as you like to think.

- Then why is it? - Because you still love me.

- I wouldn't be so sure. - You'd live better if you acknowledged it.

I've decided. From this moment on, we're no longer together.

Do you understand? Well?

- I don't agree. - I don't care if you don't agree.

It's for me.

Did you hear what I said? I don't care if you don't agree.

- It's me. - What do you want? - I apologize for today.

- I don't want to hear it. - May I come to see you? - No.

Why? Are you with someone?

- Please... - I want to know!

Do you want to know if I was making love?... Yes.

Feel better now? Anything else you want to know?

- Have you lost your voice? - No. - Think twice before you call me.

- You think of me in bed! - You're crazy! - Yes, I'm going crazy!

- I'm leaving. I'm really do it this time. - It's a good idea.

- Do you think so? - You can't go on this way.

- Yes I can! - Don't call me anymore. - Where did I go wrong?

You've been locked in there for 20 minutes. Are you okay?

At least answer me!

- Adriano! - I'm fine! - Come out and give me a hand!

The baby is hungry! Come out and help me!

- What should I do? - What do you think?

Come to Mama, she'll feed you.

Don't ask me to come with you to parties and weddings anymore.

- He's not going to let us sleep tonight. Will you put him to sleep? - I'll do it!

You don't listen, I don't know why I bother talking.

I've given up on you as a life partner.

- And he deserved more for a father. - Really? - He deserved more!

- I have news for you. - What's that? - I don't love you anymore!

When I wake up next to you I feel anguish.

- Since he was born you've changed. - I thought you were better than this.

- Really? - Yes. - I'm leaving. Don't look for me!

I won't bother! Get out!

- If you go out that door I'll be really pissed off. - What else is new!

Your father is an asshole.

- Who is it? - A neighbour.

- Don't say anything. - What are you here for? - I don't know.

Months and years will pass by. Maybe you'll always hate me.

Maybe someday you'll think of me and I'll be here waiting.

- You've gone crazy. - I can't live without you! I love you!

I love you.

Haven't you ever felt like I feel now? You have to live it to understand.

- Why are you in your underwear? - Get out.

- Do you want me to go? - Yes! - Okay, I'll go!

I go!

"During this time, women must take a hard look at their emotions..."

"upsets, and worries. Seen from outside, they can seem disproportionate".

"Speaking of them to someone is a way of exorcizing fears"

"or at least not allowing them to become overwhelming".

- Do you understand? - It says you mustn't hold everything inside.

- What if we bought our own house instead of paying rent? - What?

Don't worry, everything's fine.

- Who is it? - Alberto. It's me.

- Who is it? - A friend, don't worry...

- Open! - Wait! - This isn't right.

- I'll see what he wants and come back. - What should I do? - Wait for me!

- It's really over this time. I can't stand her anymore! - Did you fight again?

If we bought a house we'd spend the same as we do in rent.

- What do you think? - What do I think?

I think it makes me anxious. It sounds so... final.

- We're about to become a family. That's no small matter.

- I never thought it was. - So what's the problem?

We haven't made love in 7 months.

I even called her "mama" once. It was horrible!

You'd have already broken up if it weren't for the baby.

The baby is a fantastic experience! She's the one who took it this way!

She's become like every other ball busting mother alive. Why?

I don't know.

- Hello. - I'm coming to your house! - Hello.

- Alberto. - Who is it? - Hi, I'm Gemma.

Listen. "Remodelled house. Parquet floors. 100 square meters.

"Good location. Double bath. Garden". We could get a dog.

"Parking space, storage. 900 million lire".

God, how much? That's too much!

- Will you come and get me tomorrow? - What do you say, love?

What?

What happened?

- Give me that Joint. - This is Gemma.

- I've decided to leave... - Really? - I'm really doing it this time.

What are you doing here at night? Did you fight with Livia again?

- I can't stand her anymore. - She's a ball buster.

You're unhappy and don't say you're not or I'll have a stroke.

- Leave everything and come with me. You come too! - Where?

You're pirating CD's and screwing someone new everyday.

And you're still missing something! What do you hope to find this way?

Do you want to find yourself repressed and pathetic at 50?

- Come with me! - I don't screw someone new everyday.

- It's true. You'd better know it now. - He wants to embarrass me.

- I'll do what I want anyway! - Great, you've found each other.

I've said it before, but I'm rotting here. I can't stand it.

I'll blow up if I stay. We either go now or never again.

We're not 20 anymore, but luckily we're not 40 yet.

I have to break out of the anguish of my father's illness, forget that slut

and get away from here. That's all!

What I am asking for? I'm only asking to leave. Are you coming with me?

Have you ever wanted to cheat on me?

- Do you have to think about it? - No.

- Well? - The answer is no.

- Why not? - Because I'm in love with you.

- What if you're ever attracted to someone else? - Why should I be?

- It could happen. - Maybe to you.

- I know it won't happen. - Why?

I'm stronger than you. I always have been and always will be.

If I ever find out you've cheated on me, I'll kill you.

Do you understand?

Sleep now, love. Your eyes are red.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Did you do it?

Marco's beyond help. You're on the edge. Carlo can be saved.

- When do we leave? - As soon as possible. We'll go to Turkey.

We'll open a school for scuba diving in Polynesia or we'll go to Patagonia.

- We'll do something. - He said we're three assholes.

Better assholes than unhappy.

Don't think too much or you'll never leave.

You'll find yourself a clone of your father at 60

and if you think about what you could have done and didn't,

you'll spit in your own face because the good life has passed you by.

- How much money do we need? - In Tanzania you can live...

for two years on 1 0 million lire. Then we'll decide to come back or not.

- What should I do, take a leave of absence from work? - Sure!

You have a house, a bitchy wife and a kid here.

- You know the only thing you can do... - Is get out. - Yes.

- We Just have to decide. - You're all dead inside!

- Fuck off! - Fuck off!

- Let's tell them all to fuck off and leave. - Fuck off! - We can do it!

Fuck off!

- I have to see Eugenio. - You haven't in two years.

- Three years. - You need an affair. Something with no strings attached.

- That was the most important affair I had. - It was the only one. - Yes.

I still dream of him sometimes. That must mean something.

It's not the taste that makes it different, but the thickness.

This is the slogan: "Creamy enough to swallow whole".

In two months we'll unveil the Queen Bar!

Hi, Uncle.

Where were you? It's been two weeks...

I've decided not to come back. I've really thought about it.

I don't want to keep working here.

- This is your store too! - I know! - So, what are you saying?

I need to give some sense to my life.

- Some people are born to sell Christs and Madonnas... - Are you on drugs?

- Come on. - You're so conceited and you're treating me like an imbecile.

- I'm no fool. You'll find out someday. - OK.

- Your place is here, where your father put you. - No, it's not.

I'm talking about duty. This is our living, it's everything we have.

- It's not enough for me! - Not enough for you?

- If your father were well, you would not say this to me. - I'd say it to him.

Tell him! He can still understand you. You won't do it, do you know why?

Because you have no balls. That's why you came to me, but I can't do anything.

I can only ask you to be reasonable.

You can give me permission to put the boat in the water. I want to go away.

I'll pay for the repairs. I need it for awhile. I want to take it to Turkey.

Your father and I gave our lives for this business.

- I know how to sail it. - You make me so sad. - So do you!

- Really? - Yes, you make me sad! - We have nothing more to say.

In fact, do me a favour. I want you to leave. Get out!

No boat, huh?

- What do you have to tell me? - We've had an idea.

- What's it about? - I'll tell you when you return.

- When are you coming back? - I don't know.

We have an appointment in half an hour for a sonogram.

- I forgot. - I told you yesterday too.

- Don't tell me you can't now. Hurry. - Okay.

- Hi. - I was passing by and saw you. - So, you weren't coming for me!

I would have come to see you soon. I swear it.

- Do you want a ride? - I live very close.

- I'll take you. - I live really closeby. - I'll take you!

- I'm happy to see you. - So am l.

- Where should I go? - Straight ahead. - OK.

- Had you fun yesterday? - Weddings always make me sad.

- Why? - They're big shows of good intentions.

Great loves, passions, eternal words, and two years later you're in court.

That's a question of who you meet. Stop, we're here.

- You really are close. - I told you so. Being disenchanted is awful.

How can you fall in love if you don't think it can last forever?

- Is it yours? - Yes.

"Love, hurry up!"

- Sorry, I have to go! - OK.

Can you come to a party with me tomorrow?

- It's my friend's 18th birthday. What do you say? - What do I say?

- Then? - Alright, why not?

I'll give you my numbers.

What would you do if I were in your place?

- Call me and we'll arrange things. Don't leave me flat. - No.

What the fuck are you doing here!

Shit!

- It's really late. - I'm almost ready. - Let's go.

Stop here. How much, please?

Is our relationship only about sex

or do you care a little for me?

I care a little for you.

I knew it.

- Does Bonetti still teach here? - Yes, he's in class.

- When does he get out? - At three thirty.

Francesca, come and eat. I've called you four times.

It's 90% sure it's a girl.

A girl!

Honey, it's a girl.

You have to follow your heart. There are no tactics or strategies.

- In love it's only destiny that deals the cards. Is he cute? - Very much.

I left the cellphone on. Should I answer it?

It's Giulia.

- Giulia? - Mama! It's a girl! She's beautiful! She's fine!

It's so wonderful! What a Joy!

I'll call Papa and tell him! I'll see you later.

Hello.

- My daughter is having a girl. - I'm happy to see you.

So am l.

So many feelings! Aren't they too much all together?

Now that I'm here near you, it's as if we never stopped seeing each other.

- You don't know how many times I thought of you. - I thought of you too.

- Really? - You know it's true.

- No, I don't know, tell me again. Did you really miss me? - Yes.

My love!

I'm so happy to see you!

- Why did you disappear? - Let's not talk about it.

- No, I want to! Why did you? - You know why!

- I want you to tell me. - I always thought...

that if we stopped seeing each other I'd find a way to save my marriage.

- Did you save it? - No, I can't say that.

It's water under the bridge!

The important thing is that I'm here!

Don't you think so?

I'm with another woman.

- Is she important? - What do you mean important? - Do you love her?

- Are you in love with her? - We have a baby.

- He's a year old. - You have a year old baby?

What should I say?

I'm going to be a grandmother and you have a year old baby.

That's life and more, right?

Does he look like you?

- I waited so long for you! - Don't tell me this.

I hoped for months that you'd have the courage to leave him.

- I tried so hard. - You couldn't do it.

- That's what you wanted. - Don't you feel anything for me now?

- My life has changed. - 'Cos we haven't seen each other for 3 years?

- 'Cos you are with another woman? 'Cos you have a baby? - That too.

I'm asking stupid questions.

I look pathetic to you, don't l?

You know...

If we could go back, I'd follow you anywhere.

I could leave him now. I'm much stronger now.

It's too late for us.

You're saying that because our age difference is evident now.

How old is your woman? ls she a girl?

- Are you with a young girl? - Calm down!

Sure! I have to calm down! Even because...

this situation has become pathetic. Goodbye!

You have to know that I've loved you all this time.

So have l.

Would you like to make love to me?

Forget I asked that question.

I'll make a new life. I'll do it, you'll see. Goodbye, love!

- Don't move for anything. - Does it hurt much?

A bit. Ready? I'm going!

- Did it hurt a lot? - A lot!

Is my husband in there with someone?

- You can't disturb him. - I'm still his wife. I can do anything.

- Here we are! - What happened? - According to you, nothing?

I'm working. Come back in 40 minutes when I'm done.

- I have to talk to you. - Can't we talk in 40 minutes? - No.

- She's my wife. Don't worry. - We have to talk right now.

- How scary! I'm actually getting a reaction! - You've been drinking!

I'm leaving you tonight, dear! I'm leaving forever!

- Alright. Now, leave! - I've cheated on you!

Did you hear what I said?

- So sorry for the disturbance! - Please, wait a moment.

What a move! The first time in thirty years!

- What's this about? - It happened 3 years ago. I saw him again today.

If he'd asked me to follow him, I'd have gone without even coming home.

- I hope this isn't true. - Too bad for you, it is!

What's it feel like? This is real life! Answer me!

Do you hate me or does this leave you indifferent?

Do you hear me? You've never done anything to save our marriage.

- We'll talk tonight. - Your Job's more urgent than your personal life?

- Exactly! - What exactly?

You don't know what to say now either! There is nothing exact in our lives.

- In all this time you've made me feel so alone! - Don't raise your voice.

- That's why I betrayed you. - Shut up! - He liked me!

- At least I enJoyed it with him! - Shut up!

- That certainly isn't normal for you. - No, it's not normal. - No, you're sick.

I'm trying to feel alive. You're dead and you don't know it!

What did you want? Adolescent passion?

A baby with a young husband? What did you want from me?

- Our life wasn't so awful. I still have beautiful memories. - You're lucky!

You're burning everything!

- What are you doing? Be quiet. - I want to break everything!

- You're a cactus with thorns. - Yes, a cactus with thorns.

I don't know what that means, but that's what I think of you.

Wonderful! Then we agree on that too!

Where do you get out?

- Hello. - I've left your father. - What happened?

I'm going to Luisa's.

Call me when you like on the cellphone.

I'm happy for you and the baby you're carrying. I'm not Jealous of you.

Mama...

The mattress begins to swell and tries to suffocate me.

I throw myself out the window and see my husband chasing me.

He says "Stop". But I can't stop myself.

Does it mean that I want to go back to him and I can't?

Or that I want to leave but I'm afraid?

We go through the Sahara Desert and go into Chad, Zaire, Zambia...

Capetown. There we'll decide to go back or go on to Australia.

Capetown to Sidney takes only 1 8 days by boat.

- And to cross all of Africa? It can take us 3 months or 3 years.

- Start to relax. - That's the trip's philosophy.

- I feel like the first time I went away from home. - You'll get used to it.

This is your last chance to change.

- We're only too late after we're dead, remember that! - You're right.

Some Danes went on bicycles from Copenhagen to Mikonos.

- Are we going to travel Africa on bicycles? - We'll use motorcycles.

- A good one costs 10 million lire. - That's 30 million for three.

We could buy a camper for half of that.

Fuck, it's her!

Yes?

- Will you be late? - Didn't you say you didn't want me in the house?

Please, I need to find some peace. When are you coming home?

I need some milk too. Matteo will be hungry in half an hour.

I'll be there soon.

I'll wait for you!

- Wait. - Bye.

Who sells these campers?

Love, stop!

I can't stand going on like this anymore!

We have to try to be happy again, you and l. Understand?

What have you done? Did you get a piercing?

- Yes. - Are you crazy? - Don't you like it?

I hate it, look at yourself!

How can we ever go back to loving each other again? Put this milk away!

If you really wanted to, we could be better than before!

That piercing looks awful! You look like an asshole!

- Do you know what? - What? - I'm really thinking of leaving here.

You could introduce me to your friends. We're almost a couple now, right?

- I don't know about that. - Why not?

Why are you so scared? Do you see other girls too?

I don't believe that you want to go away.

You want to really leave me?

- Yes... - Why?

We're not happy together anymore. It won't be easy to leave the baby.

This isn't my place anymore.

What else can I say to you?

Are you thinking of me?

I'll get a Job, I'll find a place to rent.

- You're getting too old. - My age again! - Be reasonable!

I am! My life has gone to pieces. Do I have to give up? No!

- Was he so important? - He was important for me.

Affairs can happen! Papa will understand, right?

Do you think it's too late for me to begin my life over?

What age would you think I am if I weren't your mother?

The age you are.

- That's not so old! - It's not young either. - Never a kind word.

You've been together forever.

You're in a phase where you need each other. Don't throw that away.

- Hello. - It's Carlo.

I'm studying, what about you?

- I'm at Sothens. - Where? - My agency.

- What's it called? - Sothens & Sothens.

I wanted to say, if you like we can get together tonight.

- The party! Should we meet? - I don't know.

- Can you pick me up at home? - Sure!

- Do you remember where I live? - Of course!

- I'll be waiting! - OK.

- I'll tell Giulia I'm out with you. - I'm a bad bullshitter.

I need to feel alive again. You understand me!

- I've never cheated on Livia. - That's why you're exploding!

I can't now. Tell him to call me back in 5 minutes.

- I have 5 minutes to save your marriage? - You worry too much.

- What's the problem? - Try to not leave each other.

- The bad things she says of me, I've thought of her. - You're still in love.

I don't know. This is our life, you have better things to think about.

- You're right. We all have our own lives. - Exactly...

- When will you see her? - I don't know.

Tell her to come home. Try to convince her.

- What is it, Giulia? - I've spoken to Papa. Can I see you?

- I want to be alone and think a while. - There's nothing to think about.

- Yes, there is. - Come to my house as soon as you can, alright?

- As you like. - It's important, understand?

- Yes. - I'll see you later. Mama!

- Yes? - I'm doing this for your own good.

- How can you know what that is if I don't know myself? - See you later.

- As you like. - Bye.

It was modified by a crazy guy. He did Paris-Dakar three times.

- He never made the last trip, a stroke killed him. - Poor guy!

4 bunks, the style is a bit Spartan. It's not designed for family travelling.

- No families. - Good. The water tank holds 900 liters.

- How much? - The price I told you. - That's too much.

- It's a bargain. - Will it blow up on us?

It's done 400,000 kilometers without a single repair.

Airplanes have been flying overhead all morning!

Come on, darling! Sit down!

Hold his hand.

You'll feel better soon.

Don't leave us!

- Your parents are a rare case. - It's hard to find your soul mate!

- It's once in a lifetime. - This is my chance.

- Where are you going? - We haven't decided, maybe Africa.

Will you take me with you?

I don't think so.

Love, are you here?

Look what I bought!

I'm moving to Alberto's tomorrow.

It's useless to fool ourselves.

Did you hear what I said?

I don't know if you realize what you're doing.

Do you know how much he'll miss you?

You're his father, you're not Just anybody!

- You go out every night, don't you want to stay with me? - It's not true.

- As soon as you can you leave me. - I have to see Adriano.

- He's leaving his wife, he needs to talk. - Will you have dinner with him? - Yes.

- Will you come back later? - I don't know. - Wait!

- Did you like the pram? - It's great! I told you.

- Are you sure you're okay? - Sure!

- You look nervous. - It's because of Adriano.

Don't hide anything from me.

Do you think I'm hiding things from you?!

It's my mother.

- Hi. - Did you come in the car? - Yes, it's there. - Come on.

My dress is clinging, you can see everything.

- I won't look. - Not until I'm dry! - Where are we going?

Straight ahead.

If we haven't made love in so long it's your fault.

I think it's your fault!

There must be a way out, right?

No, there isn't!

We don't like each other now!

We were in love once, we're not anymore.

We can torture each other for years and what for? It's over!

You say no, but it's better for you, for me and for him.

He shouldn't grow up with parents who hate each other.

It's better for everyone!

That's how it is!

Hello. Yes, he's here. It's Marco.

- What a nuthouse! - What?

I said nuthouse!

- This is Mariposa. - Happy birthday! - That's Sara and that's Adele.

That guy is gone!

"Your call is being transferred, you may leave a message."

Carlo, both you and Adriano have your phones off.

Marco called. I'm going to Paolo's, his father died. I hope I see you there.

- I'm going. - What will you do?

- You know! - Why are you being so vague?

- I'll try to hold out a bit longer. - It's not an endurance test!

I have to prove to myself that I can do this, maybe I can.

I need to believe a bit more in myself. I'll make it. You'll see!

You have to be calm and serene. Things will be fine.

Your mama knows what she's doing. Bye.

I found this! Mariposa told me she thinks you're so cool!

Drink! I'm the only one who drank from it. This is great, let's go!

- Is all of this normal for you? - No.

I've never felt like this before. I'd do anything for you.

I want to spend my whole life with you.

- What if I fall in love? - What?

Madam, we have to close.

- My condolences. - Thank you. They're in the hall.

Thank you for coming.

- How are you? - How will I ever understand what's happened?

- It takes time. - It's the idea of death that's incomprehensible.

The last thing I said to him was bullshit.

What should I do now?

He knew that you loved him.

- Where's Carlo? - He went out with Adriano. - Adriano is inside.

Really?

Here she is. Anna!

This is Virginia. She brought a cake. Would you like some?

- No thanks, I'm going to my room. - See you later. - See you later.

- Hi. - Carlo isn't here!

- Why? - I don't know, he was busy. He must be home now, did you call?

Try!

- We're leaving! I'm going with Carlo. - Wait for the cake!

I have to go, love you!

He's not there. Did you tell him you were coming here?

- That you were coming to Paolo's? - Don't involve me in your shit!

What shit?

What's happened?

- What shit? - Please...

- Why won't you tell me? - You should talk to him.

- What does that mean? - You're only hurting yourself, stop asking.

I'm hurting myself?! What the fuck do you mean?

- Is he out with a girl? - I don't know.

- You don't know? - I don't know!

What are you doing?

Calm down! There are people who are suffering here.

- Where is he? - He went out.

- Carlo, call me as soon as you hear this message. - What are you doing?

- Calling him? - No! - What the fuck is this?

- I don't know. - Yes, you do. Do you know her? - No!

- Don't you know her? - He only Just met her.

- It's not what you think! - Shut up! - She's Just a friend!

I'll kill him!

She's Just a friend!

- I feel like I'm ten years younger. - Do I make you feel that way?

Do you like feeling that way?

- Have you decided to make me lose my head? - I'll lose mine.

Can we go to my house? My parents come back tomorrow.

I want to sleep with you.

I can't. I have to go back...

- No ! - I'm not in an easy situation.

- Which is? - I can't sleep away from home.

Don't think that I don't want to...

- I can't think of anything I'd like to do more right now. - What's the problem?

- What's the problem? - What is it?

- How's it going? - Fine.

- Were you sleeping? - No.

- Will you have a drink with us? - No. Really!

- Has something else happened? - I'd like to be alone.

- As you like. Goodnight. - Goodnight.

She's Just a friend.

He'll come home now.

I have to be calm!

- Promise me something. - What?

Go to her and leave her! Promise me or come with me.

- I'll see. - Promise me.

- I need a little time. - When things aren't working, there's nothing to do.

- Easy for you to say. - Of course!

How can I sleep without you?

Can you tell me how?

You'll manage somehow!

- Goodbye, baby. - Don't go. - I have to go, it's late.

Then go, it's now or never!

- Goodnight, my love. - Goodnight.

Shit!

- Giulia! - Where the fuck are you?!

- I've had an accident! - You bastard!

- I've had an accident. - Who the fuck were you with?!

Shit!

I knew it! Fuck, I knew it!

Shit!

- What will you tell her now? - You'd better invent a good excuse.

- A very good one. Giulia's not stupid. - She'll know if you bullshit.

Why did you cheat on her?

Here I am!

- What happened? - Bastard! Why did you lie to me?!

Calm down!

- You'll hurt the baby! - What were you doing all night?

- Where were you? - I was with Adriano. I swear I was with him.

You lying bastard! You make me sick!

- It's him, go on ask him. - Giulia knows everything!

Now what happens to the trust I had in you? And all the dreams we had?

- I didn't do anything wrong! - I want to know who she is.

It will never happen again!

Who is she? Did you cheat on me? Tell the truth!

Tell me!

Just a kiss!

- It won't happen again! - You make me sick!

- Who's Francesca? - Stop!

Did you want to go to bed with her? ls she prettier than me?

Liar! What am I doing with you?

- You bastard! - We still have so much to do together.

- We were building a family. - In fact. - I'm pregnant and you tell me "in fact"!

What will you do to me 10 years from now?

I'm leaving you! Get out now, come back only for your things.

- Is that clear?! - You're going too far. We're having a baby.

I'm the one having a baby. I'm pregnant, not you!

She's better off with no father than a shit like you!

- Stop kidding! - I'm not kidding!

I don't think one kiss after 3 years together is so bad! It can happen.

- Not to me! - Stop yelling! You'll hurt yourself!

- You have to leave. - Calm down.

You make me puke! One time was enough to lose me forever!

- You have to leave! - Giulia!

- Get the hell out! - Where the fuck can I go?

Who cares! Go to her!

Giulia!

What the fuck are you doing? You don't scare me!

- What the fuck! - I said leave, now do it!

Get out!

You wanted this!

You wanted this!

When you see you're wrong, it'll be too late!

Suddenly free. That's what she wanted.

Free to do what you want. To not tell anymore lies.

To fall in love with her, even if she is only 1 8.

Finally free! lsn't that what you've always wanted?

- What's happened? - May I still come in? - No, I want you to leave.

- I've decided to go back. - Try to think about it.

- I'm doing something that I don't want. - That's what you think now!

I don't know what to do with my freedom.

I feel like my life makes sense only next to him.

Without my house, my things, I have no place to go.

He's loved me in his own way for 30 years.

It wasn't what I wanted, but now I want to grow old with him.

- Hi. - I thought you'd gone without saying goodbye.

I forgot my house keys.

Where did I leave them?

- Where did I leave them? - Do you want to go back to her?

- Don't ask me anything. - What did I do to you? - Nothing.

- I have your keys. - Do you want to play games?

- I'll wait for your call. - Yes, I'll call you!

- Is Paolo at home? - Come in.

- How are things, ma'am? - Awful. It's terrible.

- I can imagine. - You can't imagine! It's terrible.

It's true.

- Your friend is here. Is your father still alive? - Yes, he's fine.

- Stay close to him while you can. - Of course.

- Do you want some coffee? - I don't want anything.

He won't leave you alone!

I went to the car dealers. Someone else wants to buy it.

What should I do? Put down a deposit?

Life goes on! Have you already forgotten about everything?

I'll write you a cheque. Insure it and take it home.

I'm leaving. Come back later, the house will be empty.

Please talk to me. Things can't end this way.

- Move that foot! - I panicked thinking my life would be over.

I made a mistake.

- Is anything wrong? - No, nothing's wrong.

- You have our baby inside of you! - Maybe I won't keep it.

Don't piss me off!

- Don't even think about something like that! - I'll think what I please.

- We're not married. We're both free. - You abort and I'll hurt you.

Is your male pride acting up? You're pitiful!

- I never stopped loving you. - It's too late. - Please.

Move that foot!

Giulia! The funeral is later. Will I see you there?

Grant him eternal rest, Lord...

- Why are you rushing to leave? Give yourself some time. - How long?

- A year. - I can't stand her another week.

Staying with Alberto isn't good for you. Come stay with us.

You need time to think. You're not ready to leave your son behind.

- If you go, you'll find him so changed. - Maybe he will not recognize you!

- I have to resolve the situation. - Is there another woman? - I wish!

Livia is a difficult person, but she's intelligent.

She's fascinating. You must have loved something about her.

I need constant excitement in my life to be able to go on.

When you're together for long you reach a time of stasis,

but it's only a different way of going forward.

If you can appreciate that, you feel unique.

You always love the same person without thinking of escape.

If I didn't have her, I'd have no place to go. My life would be less.

Normality is the true revolution.

You did what any of us would have done.

You met a girl and you got laid. There's nothing wrong with that.

Fidelity is a true utopia.

- What now? - What now?

How do I confront the question?

- Fuck! - Giulia!

Baby...

What happened?

He'll hate me only if you make him think of me as a superficial father.

- That's what you are. - No, that's what I feel I am.

In six months, a year, I'll be back. I'll take Matteo and you can leave.

Maybe in six months we'll get back together, who knows?

I can't even hate you anymore.

That's why we're breaking up. We do not have strong emotions anymore.

Fuck you!

Please love, call me, call me...

- Call me... - Francesca.

Mama, please get out!

- Hello. - It's me. Am I bothering you?

God damned son of a bitch!

Hello, Carlo?

- Hello. - It's Paolo.

- What time is it? - Did I wake you?

- No, but I have to get up early. - I'm leaving.

- I'm sorry about your father. - I'm really going this time.

It will be good for you.

Right, good for me!

Call me when you get back so you can tell me about it.

- That may be a long time. - It will be when it will be.

- Are you in a crisis with him? - Well...

We can see each other right now if you like. I'm here on your street.

Don't start again.

- I won't start. - I said when you come back.

Yeah...

Have a good trip... Goodnight.

- Hello. - It's Francesca.

- Who's speaking? - Mama, it's for me. - Are you still with him? - He's leaving.

- What happened? - His phone is off. - Maybe the battery's dead.

- Bullshit. It's over, I can feel it. - You're bringing bad luck on yourself.

I told you so. It'll be fine.

You'll see him tomorrow... Don't worry.

Can you call me back? To see if my phone's working...

I can't now. Sorry. Goodnight.

Aren't you excited about the idea of breaking loose from everything?

It's a strong feeling.

- Francesca, breakfast. - Get out. - What's going on? - Nothing! Get out!

Go to hell!

- I'm asking a leave of absence. - Giulia's disappeared.

- Or I'll get a medical certificate. - Her cellphone is off.

What the fuck do you care? You always wanted her to leave!

Hello.

- It's Carlo, is Giulia there? - Yes. - I'll be right there.

I know I'm being a pain in the ass, but I had to come.

Hi, love. I bought something for you.

Won't you take it?

Don't you want to know what it is?

It's my favorite. I reread a passage and thought of you.

- I thought about you all day yesterday. - Aren't you running too fast?

- I was running after you. - I'm not the exceptional person you think I am.

- Why? - I'm having a baby with a woman I still love very much.

- It's true. - You told me you wanted to leave her.

The truth is that I need to be with her.

I'm sorry. There's nothing else to say.

- You didn't tell me she was having a baby. - I want to be happy with her.

- We could have had something beautiful! - I thought so too.

- Then what's the problem? - Try to understand. - What?

My place is somewhere else now. It's not your fault or mine.

Stay with her, I'll accept that. Then maybe things will fall into place.

Nothing will fall into place if we keep seeing each other.

Trust me, that's how it is.

Goodbye, baby...

- Forgive me if you can. - Don't go, love.

Don't pull me... It Just makes it harder, please.

- Carlo called before. - You didn't tell him I'm here, did you?

- It's not the time to run away. - You told him!

- Don't be angry. - I asked you not to tell him anything!

- You're expecting a baby. - I'm the one who's expecting!

- Things happen. - Please... - I cheated on your father too.

- That's your shit! - We're still together. - Stop it!

Love, life is also made of compromises.

- I won't end up like you. - Why? How did I end up?

Have you seen yourself?

Don't be foolish.

- Hello. - It's me. - What the fuck do you want?

To talk.

Get out of here!

Leave!

Are you happy?

- What should we do? - Let him in.

- Wait, let me speak to her again. - OK.

Love, open up. Carlo's not here, he's inside with Papa.

We shouldn't take for granted the love they feel for us,

Iittle ways they care for us, or a life that seems always the same,

or the bodies that fall apart with age.

Open the door.

We mustn't think that married life becomes monotonous.

- You're still in love with him. - I hate him.

We have to listen even when they repeat the same things.

We mustn't stop finding them attractive or being considerate.

- You really aren't able to let him go. - If I want to, I can.

If people have been marrying for thousands of years there's a reason.

Your way is with him now.

You have to get back the things that made you happy.

And take care of your daughter with him.

That's the only thing that counts now.

Do you think you can stay with her for a lifetime?

I know that's what you think.

- It will never be like it was. - You can't know that.

It will be fine...

- What will you name her? - We haven't decided yet.

When your daughter is grown and tells you she's pregnant,

you'll be in our shoes and you'll suddenly feel old.

You'll ask if it was worth the trouble to spend all those years together.

- Will it be worth the trouble? - I think so.

At any rate, talking is useless.

If you're still together it means you've found the way to do it

and as it's never easy, it means you believed you could.

I hope you never stop believing.

She's waiting in her room. Take care of her.

"...Crying calling you"

"as if you weren't here next to me"

"with me."

It will never happen again, never in my life.

- Was it only a kiss? - Yes.

If I were stronger, I'd end this right here.

I hate you.

- Do you know how I hate you? - Think of our daughter.

Why did you do something so awful to me?

- Because I was scared I wasn't ready for something so big. - Stop it!

Let's stop talking and Just be together, it's worth the trouble.

We still have so much to do together. I love you, I love you...

We're made for each other, we've always said that!

- We were wrong. - We weren't wrong!

- I was wrong. - Give me another chance.

You'll see, I'll grow up, love...

How the fuck will you ever grow up?

We can marry if you still want to.

We'll marry as soon as we get the papers.

I really mean it.

Think of our daughter. We can begin again, we Just have to want it.

We'll marry and we'll be happy, you'll see, love...

- Why can't I hate you? - We were made to be together.

You'll see, love...

Now decide that your eternal adolescence is over.

It's time to grow up... and you will grow up!

Everything changes. And this time things will change.

You'll have a bigger house, a pool, a garage, a nice lawn,

flowers on the patio and fancy doors.

You'll name the dog Marx and the boat Giulia.

You'll have health insurance, life insurance,

a full fridge so you won't ever feel poor,

a hand woven rug so you'll still feel young. You'll have your happy family.

your healthy children, and you'll have her,

who'll always remind you of it all.

Isn't that what you've always dreamed of?

To our lives!

To what we were and what we will be!

Some of us left and some of us stayed. I decided to stay.

I keep telling myself I'll be a father soon. I try to be confident

because I still don't really know what that means.

Sometimes I wonder where those three are, what they're doing.

I like to think that someday I'll Join them and stay with them for a while.

That makes me feel good.

The hand you see belongs to Sveva, the prettiest little girl I've ever seen.

They say she looks like Giulia. Maybe that's why I love her so.

She's 1 2 months old. She's learning to talk.

She says: television, sky, sun, tummy, mama and papa.

Giulia grows more beautiful everyday.

She's obsessed with her body. She swims and runs everyday...

What harm can that do?

Sveva's favorite thing is dancing to Strauss with me.

First she looks into my eyes, then she laughs... and then she sleeps.

I can stare at her for hours. I listen to her breathe

and try to see myself from outside. That's when my life seems rewarding.

I'm not lacking for anything. Is this happiness?

I think it is.
