All language subtitles for La Meglio Gioventu AttoI CD2

See you.

You brought the bike
in the house?

Are you afraid that
the "terroni" steal it?

- Shut up and make some food.
- Sure, honey!

- With your holy hands.
- So holy!

Where's Carlo?

- What?
- Here's "The voice of the Master".

One has to be informed

- as regards what they want too.
- You don't need papers for that.

- They want to fuck us.
- That's an elegant gesture.

From Oxford.

By the way don't call me
a "terrone" anymore okay?

- I am from Turin.
- Are you?

- Ouch!
- Look at him!

He can't even laugh.

It's easy for the police
to face you sissies...

Shut up.

They should come to the
factory. We'd kick their asses!

- Fast!
- Yeah, kick them...

- You can't because of the Labour Unions.
- Don't involve the Unions.

Who writes this bullshit? Your friends?

Did you read that?

We were given this yesterday.

Alright, but...

"We must destroy
the school, not change it."

- You got it wrong.
- Listen.

I don't want to destroy schools.
I want a right to study...

...for me who couldn't
study, and for my children.

You have no children!

- Learn to speak!
- But Vitale...

- It's true, you have no kids.
- I'm still young!

Don't you have to go to the
students' collective's meeting?

- Who makes me some coffee?
- I will. And you have a meeting

- at the factory, right?
- I'm going soon.

As long as you all leave.

- Are you in a haste?
- I have to study Anatomy.

- What?
- Anatomy.

(singing) Anatomy...

"Love me forever!"

Good morning Mr. Piero.

Hey, "Naples", you're so witty!

- Hi Giulia.
- Hi.

She's the Anatomy exam.

(singing) Anatomy...

- Ouch! My lip...
- Sorry, I forgot.

- You're frozen.
- No, I ran. I'm hot.

- It's so cold in here.
- The trick is to keep moving.

- You need to keep moving.
- Keep moving?

TURIN, SPRING OF 1974

There.

Please open up! I'm pregnant!

Open up please!

Open the door!

It's like heaven in here.

- Nice, isn't it?
- Would you live here?

Yes. Wouldn't you?

- You carry bricks in your pocket?
- You saw how hard they hit people...

What do you do then?

You throw bricks at them?

I don't, but if they
assault me I'll defend myself.

Weird... Someone opened
the door, but no one's showing.

You found a great
excuse... "Help!"

"Open up, I'm pregnant!"

Slow down! Slow down!

Stop at the crossing.

Hey!

First and Second turn right!
Third and Fourth turn left!

Slow down.

Slow down, I don't like it.

There's something wrong here.

Back!

Back!

Hurry up!

Away! Quick!

Go away!

Anyone missing?

Luigi!

Bastards!

Luigi! Luigi!

Luigi!

Gigi!

How are you?

How strange to meet again here.

Weren't you in Treviso?

I was, but they needed
help for the demonstration.

Nice idea!

Was it for self-defence?

If they hadn't stopped me
I would have killed him.

- Will you be tried now?
- I don't know.

- But I'll be transferred.
- Where to?

Bologna. I'm leaving tomorrow.

The boy you hurt will make it.

I don't give a damn.

Do you want to keep
behaving like that?

Let's start over.

Hi Matteo. How are you?

Wanna come to my place?
I'll show you the house.

What do you need
to get out of here?

Gotta ask for 70 permissions
to the Minister of the Interior?

Gotta lick the floor where
the Head of Police walked?

Gotta pray St. Michael,
patron Saint of the Police?

- I only need to sign some papers.
- Do it then!

This is the yard.

- Hello, "tota" Bianco.
- Hello.

"Tota" means "miss" in dialect.
I'll buy a cake.

- We gotta celebrate!
- What?

I'll tell you later.

- Ay, my good sire?
- Light of my life!

- You always forget the keys.
- Sorry love. He's Matteo.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Come in.

Thanks.

Gigi is paralysed.

You met him during
the flood in Firenze. Remember?

Of course. We look like
the same in our uniforms.

Is he a friend of yours?

- We're all friends.
- That's bad!

Really Why?

Because you're
on the wrong side.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

And which one's
the right side?

- The side of the poor?
- Exactly.

Luigi knows what to be
poor means. He is poor!

- Those who hit him aren't. Are you?
- That's nonsense!

- I don't hit innocents!
- But he's on the wheelchair, not you!

- I can't stay here anymore.
- Giulia, please.

Nice woman...

I see you made friends.

We're celebrating our
child's birth in September.

A child? Did you
choose its name?

Sara!

- What if it's a boy?
- Giulia says it's a girl. I trust her.

It's a nice name, from the Bible.

- Is she playing?
- Yes.

She doesn't seem
mean when she's playing.

She isn't mean.

- She thinks she's always right.
- Exactly like you...

Sleep.

- Nicola!
- Does the baby have to sleep with us?

- That's not good.
- Hush...

Sara, please go to
the other room, will you?

Cause daddy has a little
thing to do with mommy.

Go!

He could have come
to pick us at least!

Try to be kind, and don't say

that to have kids when
you have no job is crazy.

- Also because Nicola has one.
- Only for six more months.

- She works too.
- Yes, in a rubbish shop.

How can they buy clothes
and miniskirts for Sara?

Isn't it early for miniskirts?

And don't mention the fact
they aren't married.

No one gets
married anymore!

Why, you wouldn't
marry me today?

- You don't think it's good enough?
- What are you saying!

Ladder A

Hi!

- How are you?
- Fine. The journey?

- It was good.
- Open up please?

- What's that?
- An English baby-carriage.

- Thanks! It's beautiful!
- Here's the rest.

Put it there.

Hi.

This house is big.

- We were lucky to find it.
- Was it so coloured?

- No, I painted it.
- Congratulations!

She's sleeping.

Hi... she's so cute!

I'm grandma,
and he's grandpa.

Such a cute face...

She's got my
eyes and my chin.

- You wish!
- Let her grow and we'll see.

- She's bigger than the last time.
- She is.

If someone told me
I'd become grandpa...

Sara are you happy to have
such a young grandad?

- She's looking at me!
- You conquered her.

- Where's Nicola?
- At the Court.

What happened?

There's a trial against
a sick psychiatrist.

- Nicola's there to help.
- He must testify?

No, the patients will.

They were accepted as witnesses.
Let's hope that the Judge trusts them.

It would be the first time in Italy.
No, in the World!

Marino, when they say
"Swear to tell the truth"...

You all listen, because
you all will be asked for that.

You have to reply: "I do".
Marino, repeat please.

I do.

Good. otherwise
they won't listen to you.

When did you first
enter the mental hospital?

I was four...

No you were 8. You
must say that, okay?

Yes, I was 8, I liked
to dress like a girl.

- And they weren't supposed to shut you in.
- When I see the "Electrician",

- I'll break his bones!
- Calm down!

- You won't do that because you're good.
- Nicola!

You'll calm down.
Promise me, Aldo.

- Look me in the eye.
- Nicola?

- Will you stay calm?
- Nicola! Nicola!

- Yes, Mario?
- It looks like my cousin Ignazio.

That's true!

- Where did you find those?
- Behind the statue.

Don't pick up anything,
please. You all don't.

Who brought them in?

- Swear to tell the truth.
- They made us enter together.

They had us lay down
on the lined up beds.

- No!
- You must say "I do" first.

I do. Eight years old. 10 times
in the hospital. 10 times in the hospital.

The witness is playing
a part someone taught him!

Of course he needs
to calm down a little.

Mr. President...

- Mr. Levi, please say "I do".
- I do.

Please go ahead.

When the Electric Doctor
came into the room...

I closed my eyes, but I could
hear those besides me screaming.

Four nurses blocked
my hands and feet.

I felt a hand putting some
rubber stuff inside my mouth.

Then the first shock came.

Once I escaped from the hospital,
but they found me again.

They hit me hard then
tied me up to the bed again.

And then the Electrician
with his machine came in.

While

he shocked me, he shouted

"Tell me who helped you escape!"

I didn't want to tell him.

So I pressed
my jaws together...

so hard that I broke
all my upper teeth.

Giovanbattista,
are you listening?

Here's the record
of your last deposition.

Please repeat
what you know here.

Look at him.

Is that the man you referred to?

Can you speak?

You said...

"The doctor gave me
electromassages because I drank."

Did you say that?

"I had 5 in 5 days"

Is that true?

- Five of them is normal for alcoholics.
- Shut up! Shut up!

- You won't kill people anymore!
- Calm down.

If something like that happens
again I'll clear the courtroom.

I apologise for Aldo
and for all the others.

They're upset, it's not easy
for them to speak in tranquillity.

Giovanbattista can't speak at all.

I know silence is no evidence,
but it's all he has to give.

- I hope he gets eight life sentences.
- I'd be happy if he got a day.

It's a matter of principle.
Why did dad come to Turin?

He has a project and
is looking for a sponsor.

He says we should pass from
typing machines to don't know what,

processors, computers... I don't know.

I have to tell you something.

He doesn't know I found
them. He won't tell me about it.

But he seems worried.

I never searched
his drawers before.

You're a doctor.
Can you do something?

No mom. But the course of illness

can be slackened by some medicine.
It could take years before...

I know, I read
everything I could find.

I read the same
thing you said,

that nothing can be done.

What are you doing?

I'm writing some
notes for the trial.

You're a disaster,
you type with two fingers!

- Let me type.
- No, there's no need to.

Please!

I want to help.

"The lawyer said

that the treatments

weren't a punishment

and also stated

that homosexuality

is a disease

which needs curing."

Why, isn't it a disease?

No dad, it isn't.

- Are you sure?
- I am.

Okay then I believe you.

What a piece of crap!

Change the carriage at least!

It's good for me.
Cut it out.

But it's out of fashion,

a general change is needed.

I have an idea, I'm
looking for a sponsor.

As a matter of fact,
if you don't mind,

I'd like to stay in Turin for
a while, to look for this sponsor.

There are many
experts in mechanics here.

Of course dad, it's good
for you to get busy.

I thought you'd say
I'm crazy as you mom does...

No you aren't
crazy, you look ahead,

you already live in the future.

You aren't fit for this world.

And what about mom?
Is she staying too?

No, she's leaving.

It's already strange that she
left Francesca alone for 4 days.

Look,

one of these days I'd like
to go and see Giovanna in Milan.

- I'll take a train.
- No, I'll take you there.

- Don't bother, I can-
- It's fine, so I can also see Carlo.

- Do you remember Carlo?
- Of course I do.

Isn't he teaching in England?

Yes, he's only passing by.

So I can say hi to him.

I could tell him
about my project.

In England there are
Business Banks.

It's not like in Italy.

Maybe he knows someone.

Okay, dictate.

What, are you playing?

You can't play

with two six of flowers.
Take them back.

Sorry.

But I scored 40
points all the same.

You didn't. Count them.

- Come on.
- 3 times 6 makes 18, 20, 22...

- See, you didn't reach 40.
- I didn't. Sorry.

Adriana, listen.

Yes?

As regards that thing that
nowadays no one gets married,

I think that nowadays

I would marry you.

My little thing.

Did you find a house?

No.

There's a dormitory here,
but no one wants to sleep in it.

It's fine with me.

I don't like houses.

Why did you come here from
the Scientific Section in Bologna?

I didn't choose to.

They said you
need people here.

- But you could say "no".
- I never say "no" to orders.

What are you doing?
Drop it, won't you?

What have you got in there?

Books.

Books?

Yes, books.

You're a strange type.

I read your characteristic signs

and what did I find there?

Nothing

I found.

Apart from some mess.

Hot blooded, aren't you?

You're a fighter, right?

Why did you join the Police?

What were you looking for?

Rules.

And what do you make of them?

I follow them.

Do you?

Yes.

I do what I'm told to.

Then I mind
my own business.

Then you fit this place.

Sicily is the home of those
who mind their own business.

- What?
- He was shot in the head.

And there's a hole in his brain.

- You live nearby.
- Commissary, we're done.

Wait a minute, please.

- So you found the body?
- Yes.

- Early morning?
- Yes.

What were you
doing here so early?

I was pasturing the donkey.

- Oh, the donkey.
- Yes.

But the donkey found
the body, or you did?

- I did.
- Oh, you did.

- And you touched it?
- No.

Good boy, you didn't have to.

But you looked at him.
Who's that? Does he live here?

- Yes.
- So you knew him?

Did you know him or not?

- I didn't.
- You didn't?

If he lived here,
you had to know him.

Tell me the truth, come on.
Did you recognise him?

Did you know him?

- I did.
- Good boy. You knew him then.

And tell me, was he a good man?

He was. Those who knew
him knew he was good.

A good man... But why
do you say he was good,

when others say he wasn't?

How do I know?
I know nothing of nothing.

Right. After a certain point
you don't know anything anymore.

May the rats eat that bastard!

- Bastard...
- May he rest in peace.

- Bastard.
- May he rest in peace, yes.

Okay, I got it.
Did you see?

Please everyone show
the due respect to the Court.

Whatever the verdict is,

I don't want to hear
any noise or comment.

The Court,

according to Articles 483 and 488
of the code of criminal procedure,

finds the defendant guilty
of the crime he's accused of,

and sentences him
to 5 years' imprisonment,

and the payment of legal costs.

Order! Order!

I must say I like these colours

after getting used to them.

And these drawings are really nice.

Congratulations.

Listen...

- Can I ask you for something?
- Sure.

There's a piano in the other room,

why don't you ever play it?

I never play it because

I'm not good enough.

One can't be only a little good,

so I decided to stop playing.

I didn't ask you why you
don't play in front of an audience.

I meant why
don't you play it here?

At home, for yourself.

For myself?

What's wrong?

I'm done.

Why?

Because I made lots of mistakes.

I didn't notice them.

You didn't, but I did.

But you're playing for me
so they don't count.

Ahead with this Ravel, come on.

I like Ravel.

Do you ever ask her to play?

No.

Why?

Because I know
she doesn't want to.

That's not true, she
played the other day.

She did it for you.

It was a special thing.

You don't understand.

You're so smart and
yet you don't get it.

Women must be
told they're good,

that they're beautiful,

that they're the
best thing we have.

You should tell her:
"Giulia play for me".

"Play for the two of us".

You should behave
as I did with your mother.

What? You fight all the time!

Fights are good,

They're good to keep fit.

The 26 principles and
the 109 recommendations of the UN

approved in Stockholm 2 years ago,

are constantly
disregarded in Italy.

Above all by people like those
who are to be judged today,

and for whom I ask for
the maximum of the penalty.

I also ask for them to be
charged of the legal costs

and of the damage costs.

Because they willingly discharged
waste products to a river

damaging the environment
and the health of the citizens.

Think of this:
in the last ten years

1.870 billion dollars
a year were spent

for military purposes.
A year, understand?

Now, 50% of this money
was spent for bribes,

also in Italy. Wouldn't you
put them under arrest?

Give me the names.

- Tell her about public enterprises.
- What are you, a prompter?

No, she knows about those,
as the names are in the papers too.

But she has to read them.

Dad? What... Look.

- Old chopsticks.
- Dad?

- "Folk".
- Okay, okay...

Don't listen to him.
This is the crab's technique.

Sure, it's the calamari's.
I'll use the fork.

Will your banger
make it to the airport?

How dare you?

Take a taxi then.

Why are you
going to Cambridge?

There's much to do here too...

I know, I'll be back.

I'm studying for a Master.

Then I think I'll be
back next year. I wanted

to apply to the Bank of Italy.

Didn't I tell you he wants
to become a Governor?

He wants to sign the banknotes.

Let's drink to the future Governor.

Long live the Governor!

Long live the Governor!

I know it sounds absurd,

but if you want him
to think he can make it,

you must believe it too.

Not just pretend.

- But he doesn't know we know.
- It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter,
your father can feel it.

he can feel everything,
he can feel it if you care.

- He can feel you all.
- Carlo, I'm a doctor.

I can't believe in miracles.

Then forget you're
a doctor for a while.

Okay, I understood.
You're my friend,

you want to help, I understood.
Thanks. Enough though.

- Sorry.
- Thanks. Thank you.

I think it's my plane.

Sorry about before.

No, I'm sorry.
I talked nonsense.

Try not to behave
like an asshole in England.

Try not to behave
like an asshole here.

I didn't tell anyone.

Not even Nicola.

He would have started
with psychology,

with the fact that
you need to react,

all that bullshit, you know.

I told you... because I told you.

This is our secret.

You must promise me, because
I don't want anyone's pity.

But you must promise me
you'll have yourself cured,

and tested and so on.

I'll do everything.

Be patient with Matteo.

I don't know why,

but I've never understood him.

And I'm sorry for that.

Then there's Francesca...

and mom,

and Nicola.

Nicola is strong.

He isn't all the time.

He's like everyone else.

And last but not least

you have to take care of yourself.

You have to smile.

Be cheerful,

have fun.

Where's your husband?
Out for work?

We haven't seen
each other for a while.

There are some problems.

Another woman?

Not at all. There are
just some problems.

I think we'll ask for separation.

Separation? And you
weren't telling me?

- I'm sorry.
- I'm not.

It's better this way.

It is!

We'll find another one.

Are you looking for mystery?

Are you talking to me?

You must find the soul.

How can I find it?

You have to search for it,
look inside people.

PALERMO, SUMMER OF 1977

Can you look inside?

I can.

See that child?

Look at his hand.

He's confident.

He has a cockade on his shirt,
he's top of the form.

Maybe.

See that old lady?

Two wedding rings,
she's a widow.

And she feels lonely.

You aren't Sicilian.

Are you making fun of me?

Did you see the film "Stromboli"?
The one with Ingrid Bergman?

- Yes.
- That's where I live.

But I'll leave soon.

I applied for a job as a
librarian in Palermo.

I want to leave the island.

What about that? It's
a professional camera.

Are you an expert?

I'm an expert in libraries too.

Are you?

I am.

So if I got the job,
what library should I choose?

In Palermo I don't know,

but in Rome there's a beautiful
one in Villa Celli Montana.

Can I look for mystery?

Come on...

Sorry I have to go.

- Now?
- Yes.

- What's your name?
- Nicola.

- Mirella.
- Pleased to meet you. Sorry. Bye.

Bye Nicola.

- What happened?
- Someone was killed.

The Commissary wants
you to take some photos.

- I don't have the camera.
- I do.

Wow, you never forget
anything, do you?

Where did you find it?

Look at me!

That's too easy.
Look at daddy.

Look at me.

I hurt myself.

How many times must I say
Sara must be in bed at this hour?

Did the doctor prescribe that?

Daddy's a doctor!
He can decide!

What's wrong?

I'm tired.

I fought with Stefania.

I told her I'm done with the shop.
I've had enough of arguing all the time.

- You used to like arguing.
- I did once.

Maybe it's better this way,

so you can go back
to play the piano.

I sold it.

Someone will take
it away tomorrow.

Are you crazy?

Maybe I am.

Where have you been?

Do you control me?

I went to a meeting of the Collective.

Anything against that?

- Those are really good people...
- What do you mean?

There's nothing decent in this
country. Everything sucks.

And we do nothing about it.

Did you hear of that boy
who was killed in Bologna?

Yes, I did.

And when are we going
to make them cry too?

When are we going
to make them cry too?

Take off that thing!
You're ridiculous!

- Listen...
- Let go of me.

- You can't even stand me now?
- No!

I can't even stand you.

You only care for your hospital.

Everything's on my shoulders.

I don't agree.

I hate arguments!
I hate fighting couples!

Ladies and gentlemen?

Ladies and gentlemen?

Bobby can't sleep
with this noise.

You're right, love.
We'll all stay quiet now.

Dear Carlo,

I'm happy to hear of
your success in Cambridge.

Here things are
the same as usual.

It's not easy to work
inside the Institutions,

trying to change them little by little.

Giulia and I have got problems.

She became aggressive and hostile.

She's unsatisfied with
something I can't understand.

We've slept like brother
and sister for 6 months now.

Follow me, I'll show
you the dormitory.

Who sends these inspectors, I wonder...

The Minister of Health, madam.

True, the Minister of Health.

And who are you? A lawyer?
A judge? Please open up.

- I'm a psychiatrist.
- Good.

Here's the dormitory.

As you see it's clean

everything's tidy.

Where are the patients?

I sent them to a trip

to the Sanctuary of Europa,
because I care for them.

I want them to feel
well, to have fun.

To feel like normal people.

Where are you going?
There's nothing there.

There's just a basement.

- What's inside here?
- Nothing.

- Open the door.
- There's just a store.

- Don't!
- Marshal, please...

You must have a
search warrant first!

I want to call my lawyer first!

Come on!

Where are you going? See?

Are you happy now?
There's nothing here.

Only garbage.

Where are you going?
You can't do that!

- It's an empty room!
- Stand aside!

Marshal, please.

I protest! It's not fair!

Take her to the radio car,

and if she offers
resistance, handcuff her.

The door.

...water... water...

Call some ambulances.

Untie them and cover them.

Please Marshal...

Giorgia?

Now Giorgia put on the sweater.

Be good.

We'll give it to you and you'll
wear it by yourself, okay?

Here.

Let's do this,

I leave it here
and we'll turn around.

Please Giorgia.

It's okay, I'll manage it.

Thanks.

How are you?

Did you eat?

Do you want some?

Remember the journey
we took together?

Don Vito's village?

That time we slept in a hayloft.

Do you remember the soccer match?

Italy were losing and
we laughed and laughed...

Do you remember Matteo?

The orange.

It must drink or it'll die.

You're right.

I always forget it.

Sorry, I won't touch you.

But I'd like you to
come here every day,

to water the plant, or it'll die.

- The Judge? Did you call him?
- Yes.

- When?
- Two hours ago.

And he's still not here?

What? You're smoking
in a slaughterhouse?

- Please, put it out.
- Put it out!

We should leave...

Can we move it?

Move it? First the judge
comes and then we move it.

Always the same questions.

Our shift's over.

The shift you said?
There's a dead man here!

Enzo, what did I say?
Tell them to keep quiet.

- They don't want to!
- Force them!

Okay, go away everyone.
Please leave.

What? There's a child here!

Are you all nuts? Get out! Out!

Are you his dad?
Take him away!

Is the child bothering you?

Take him away!

Who do you think you are?

How dare you?

Do you think
it's a nice show?

There's a dead man
here! It's not a film.

Where were you
when he was shot?

I don't know! I don't
remember, I wasn't here!

He doesn't know! Like the
rest of you, nobody knows!

He died by himself!

And then show him to children
too, so they can learn.

- Go away.
- Don't touch my son!

- What are you teaching him?
- You won't touch him!

Here's an extraordinary permit.

I don't want to see
you for 2 weeks.

Go on holiday, go home,
do as you please,

but get lost.

I already have too
many problems here.

What do you want to prove?

Out of my sight!

Get lost!

- Carati, what happened?
- All's well.

- But will you be transferred?
- Nah.

Special leave.
That's how it works.

It could have been worse.

Oh, here you are.
It arrived this morning.

Dear Matteo,

I have good news.

I found Giorgia.

I think she suffered a lot,

but it seems as if
time stopped for her.

I was very excited
when I found her.

I remembered that summer
of many years ago,

when my life, yours, and
many others' changed.

And I thought

why don't you leave the
headquarter for a few days

and come to see her in Turin?

What took place in April
wasn't an isolated phenomenon,

it wasn't just an
outbreak of violence,

because it followed
50 days of fights at the FIAT,

fights which involved
a huge number of workers

and blocked the whole
production cycle,

showing how much
power the workers have

on a political and
organizational level.

I don't like it.
Too bureaucratic.

There's a difference
between desires and needs.

Needs are a serious matter.

Needs lead us to bring
it all up for discussion,

to risk everything,

to die and fight, if necessary.

For example the
need for communism...

- Hi.
- Hi.

Excuse me.

You came home
earlier today.

Yes, I did.

Hi Sara.

- Hi.
- Are you drawing?

Yes.

Let's go for a walk.

Hurray!

Enclosed space
is not good for a child.

And for people's brains.

The need for communism...

I need to drink, to eat...

Sara, when you
hear this bullshit...

You said a swearword!

Sometimes one has to.

When someone lies
to you at the kindergarten,

- what do you tell them?
- Shitty liar!

Good!

Now let's go out
for a nice walk.

- See ya'll!
- See ya'll!

It's cold outside,

so we take your coat with us.

Let's go take
a breath of air.

Out, out...

- Listen Giulia...
- I know, it's a problem I have to solve.

Hello. Luigi Pezzuco please.

Thanks.

I was lucky too, doctors
always tell me that

a few more millimetres
and I would have lost my arms too.

Everything works instead.
Almost everything.

I even met a woman. Patrizia.

Let me show you...

I have a picture of us which
someone took at a party.

It has to be here... Here it is!

She's beautiful. Congratulations!

We'll get married in September.

We also want to have children.

You wanna know how we do it?

Slowly, patiently. She likes it
all the same, she says.

- Of course.
- But this was only possible

thanks to your mother.

- My Mother?
- Matteo...

I have a few notebooks like this one.

Without your mother, this hand
wouldn't have recovered.

- Did she come here?
- Once in every week.

You didn't know?

- I did.
- And not only my hand recovered.

Also my brain. I had never
read poems before.

Listen:

"Ettore, you'll be
honoured with tears"

"shed where the holy blood you
poured for your country lies..."

What did I write here?

"Till the sun shines
on human misfortunes".

Doctor Carati?

What a surprise!
How are you?

- Fine. You?
- Fine.

- The beard?
- Sara says it stings.

- It stings?
- Yes so I shaved it.

- I have a present for her.
- Thanks. What's that?

- A doll, so you can play too.
- How nice!

- Did you pass through Rome?
- Yes, but didn't stop at home.

- What are those pictures?
- My patients made them.

I'm organising an exposition.

- Are you?
- Yes.

Did you know that mom
went to help Luigi,

- my colleague on the chair?
- Yes, I knew it.

- Who's that?
- My master, Franco Basaglia.

The one who wants
to set all the nuts free?

He has this strange feeling

that mentally ill people aren't
prisoners but human beings,

and that mental illness isn't
a crime to pay for. Weird guy, isn't he?

- How is dad?
- You should go see him.

I will.

I will.

I already made up my mind.

- Let's go see Giorgia.
- Sure. How is she?

Better.

Maybe we'll discharge her.
We do it as soon as possible,

and place them in small houses.

- What's wrong with them?
- Once they were all "schizophrenics"

- Which means nothing.
- It means they're like split in two..

Who isn't? Are you completely a
policeman? Am I completely a doctor?

The truth is we don't know
enough about the matter.

But one thing for sure they suffer
from the "mental hospital disease".

How do you cure them?

We open the departments.

- I'll wait in my study.
- You're leaving me?

- What can I tell her?
- Maybe she'll tell you something.

Hi Giorgia.

It's very good
to see you again.

Are you well?

You're right, it's
a stupid question.

What does it mean?

Nicola said you can go out.
Shall we go for an ice-cream?

We'll look for a juke-box too.

You used to like music.

I was also told you read.

You like books.

What do you read?

Which words can
reach your brain?

You can't hear me.
Sound! Air!

Attention! Nothing.
Nothing can reach you.

You're absent-minded.

Absent!

Like I didn't know already...

Do you remember that summer?

What were you like?

What was I like?

Madly mad Matteo...

Giorgia!

- Can she make it?
- She will, you'll see.

She reminded me...
Once, at that station...

- Yes?
- We listened to the juke-box.

- She turned around and looked at me.
- You were a bit in love with her...

- You were!
- We both were.

- What song was it?
- "A Chi" by Fausto Leali.

(singing) A chi!

A chi!

Nicola!

Your father...

Could you slow down?

Slow down, no one's after us.

You wanna drive?

- I just said to slow down.
- That's how I drive!

- Fuck off!
- Giulia, please...

I'm worried because
of Sara. Understand?

Understand?

Why don't you answer to her?

- She spoke to you!
- That's how I drive, Giulia.

Stop this fucking car!
Stop it!

Stop the car! Pull over!

Okay, calm down.
I'll stop it as soon as I can.

What the hell are you doing?

Turn around!

Turn around! Matteo!

Thanks for coming.

Hi.

Thanks.

- How's your mother?
- You can see it.

- Hi.
- Hi, I'm Francesca.

- Policemen are busy.
- But he said he would come.

He will, if he can. But why
don't you come with me to Milan?

- Francesca can make it.
- No, I have to stay because of my job.

I know the school
will be ruined without you,

but you have to
take care of yourself.

In fact I do.
Working helps me.

- Giulia? Coffee?
- I'll go make some.

No, I will.

- Anyone wants a coffee?
- Yes thanks.

Francesca, where's
the coffee machine?

Into the cupboard.

The other one.

Nicola says you'll be
Minister of Treasure in 10 years.

Does he?

I'm currently working
for the Bank of Italy.

- To be a Minister I should change career.
- You mean?

It means Ministers are politicians.

I'm only a technician.

You're modest. Nicola says
you're smarter than him.

And if he says so...

- Nicola is crazier than his patients.
- That's true.

You're so clumsy!

- What are you doing?
- I've just finished high school.

I'll study Literature.

I want to be an archaeologist
and see the world too.

It's a good thing.

I am a middle-distance racer.

I'm an excellent cook
and play the violin too.

Nothing else?

- I get easily bored.
- Are you getting bored now?

No, I'm making coffee,
making sweets with Sara,

- and chatting with the Bank of Italy.
- Good.

It's something...

- Aunt?
- I'm coming.

See how many
cookies I've made!

You're so good...
Want some more kneading?

- Can I have a cookie?
- Carlo, go away!

Francesca is good
with children. I'm not.

- I'm not good.
- There isn't a single way to be a mother.

I wasn't a good
mother to Matteo.

At least I wasn't
the mother he wanted.

No you were a great mother,
I can see it in Nicola.

Excuse me.

- I'll go get some milk.
- There's some in the fridge.

There are many
people. It's not enough.

- I'll go get some milk.
- I got it.

Can I get out of
this house for a while?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry love. Forgive me.

- You're late.
- There was trouble at home.

It's dangerous
for me to wait here.

I have a suitcase,
I have a suspicious air.

Have you got the keys?

They're inside, with the
money and the documents.

And the gun. Can you use it?

- No.
- You'll learn.

Let me pass! Let me pass!

Nicola, let me pass!

Let me pass!

- Let me pass!
- Did you think of your daughter?

Let me pass!

- Let me pass!
- Why?

Let me pass!

Let me pass!

(Tv) "The group was accused
of being an armed band..."

"...with a paramilitary structure
and possession of firearms."

(Tv) "The DIGOS of Turin released
the identikit of five people..."

"...3 men and 2 women who
frequented the Red Brigades hideout..."

"...which was found in Turin,
in "Corso Bernardino Telesio".

(Tv) "One of the suspects
refused to answer..."

"...to the magistrates."

(Tv) "The defendants are
accused of trying to destroy..."

"...the State and its Institutions."

I want more.

Give me another piece of gazelle.

Sure, my little lion. Dad's
going to give it to you.

I want to quit fencing.

- I want to stop taking fencing lessons.
- What?

You asked me to, now you will!

- Where's mommy?
- Mom left. She left.

Sorry Sara.

I made a mistake.

Sara, please!

Let's make up.

Salute! One! Two! Three!
Four! Five! Six!

Down! On guard!

One step forward!
One step back!

Knee-bend! On guard!

One step forward!
One step back!

Today you're
a little uncoordinated.

Let's start over.
Arm in line. Look at me!

Arm in line! Position one!
Salute, away!

One! Two! Three! Four!
Five! Six! Down! On guard!

SPRING OF 1980

Will you, Tommaso...

- ...Carlo.
- Sorry?

Carlo Tommasi, not Tommaso Carli.

- Sorry. Will you, Carlo Carati...
- No, Carlo Tommasi.

- And Francesca Carati.
- There's also a male Carati.

It's me. I'm Nicola Carati, brother
of the bride Francesca Carati.

You are... sorry.

You're the brother of
the bride. Congratulations!

Then you should sit
where that crested girl is.

- In fact...
- I'm the best man. Carlo's my friend.

You're the best man
and SISTER of the bride!

- It's a coincidence.
- It's not illegal.

Let's start again.

Will you, Carlo Tommasi, marry...

Francesca Carati?

I will.

That's a good start!

Will you, Francesca Carati, marry...

- Carlo Tommasi?
- I will.

Will you exchange the rings?

- Careful...
- Sorry, it's my first marriage!

Mine too!

Long live the married couple!

Hurray!

Come to meet my girlfriends.

- No, Francesca!
- Only five minutes!

- They love blue eyes!
- Not again!

My brother Matteo.

Carlotta, Teresa...

Let me show you something...

- Sara!
- My niece Sara.

Give me a kiss.

It's a nice wedding.

- When will you get married?
- Who would ever want me?

You're a good catch!
Department of special bodywork!

- Working aristocracy!
- I was a good catch.

- What do you mean?
- I received this.

- You're fired?
- Almost: redundancy at zero hours.

- They sent 23,000 letters like this one.
- There's nothing you can do?

- We've been on strike for a month.
- You said you'd be safe.

Let's talk about it later.
It's Carlo's wedding.

Read this.

Do you study such things
at the Bank of Italy?

- More or less.
- So? What does it mean?

The FIAT is indebted
for 7,000 billion lire.

Other factories are in a worse
situation. They don't produce enough.

- They're not competitive.
- Then what?

- Workers can't win.
- It's his opinion.

- It isn't, unfortunately.
- But there are the Unions!

They can't do anything.
People are scared, selfish.

Carlo, they can't
fire him like in 1800!

Industries are
being re-organised.

They cut the expenses
to become competitive.

- Who cares!
- I know.

Should we pay
for their incapacity?

- Who cares if the system blows up?
- Come on, the system won't blow up.

If it did, it should be replaced
by something else. Any idea?

Me? You're the expert!

Enough with fighting!
This is a happy day!

Cut it out.

It's the "swan-song" of workers!

In a few years no one will remember us.

Don't worry doctor,
they won't have me!

I won't stay at home and cry.
I'll look for another job.

If I can't find it I'll invent one.
I can mend water taps, TVs, heaters.

Houses are full of so much stuff!

- Someone has to mend it! I will.
- Good!

At least I'll go live with him,
I'll wear a Napoleon's hat

and dance the tango!

I want to dance!
Let's go!

Come on, sissies!

Let's go to dance!

- Do you know "Anatomy"?
- What?

(singing) Anatomy!
- "Amado Mio"!

That one!

Mrs. Tommasi,
may I have this dance?

Be careful with my mother!
