REPUBLIC

THE KING
UMBERTO

LONG LIVE DEMOCRACY

Marco, what are you doing there?

Come!

-Come on, get up!
-Come!

Did you hurt yourself?
You study architecture.

-Me too. Fifth year.
-Lucky you! Are you a socialist?

-Yes, of course. You too?
-I'm for the monarchy.

-What a shame…
-Come, run away.

It isn't our turn.
How come we have power tonight?

-I don't know.
-What's for dinner?

-Pea soup.
-With peas?

Is it ready? I'm hungry.

-What?
-Dad is in the other room.

Is he very upset? Come on, Mom.
We all must wake up.

The monarchy is something
that can't work nowadays.

It's an old thing!
It was meant to end this way.

It couldn't… Good evening, Dad.

If you don't mind,
I disagree with you.

Here, read.

To whom it may concern:
I, General Amedeo Floris,

having seen the results
of the referendum,

resign from the Royal Army

because I refuse
to serve the Republic.

What do you think about it?

Fine.

-What happened?
-They fixed the problem.

Why do you hang out with someone
who eats pasta at tea time?

-He was hungry!
-Stop seeing him.

-No, Mom. I can't. I'm sorry.
-I'm tired of having him around!

-Don't bring him here anymore!
-Why?

-I can't stand him!
-Just because he has other ideas!

-And so?
-He may be right!

Now subversive people
rule in my house too!

I'm done with this country!

You know, my father…
In this moment…

What good bread! Where do you buy it?

Carla, my slippers!

My slippers!
No one cares about me here!

Maybe I better leave.

I'll take this.

Yes, it's better. Much better!

I could take the apple as well.

-Are you escorting me to faculty?
-Maybe.

It's either yes or no!

You father is nice!
When is he leaving?

-Hand it to me.
-Thank you.

So, you're someone who helps.

I wish my husband was here!

He'd be so happy to see her
dressed like that!

A widow?

A fascist's wife! Her husband
is in South America!

I'm ready!

Yes. Come, help me.

-Get married and I'll help you!
-You shouldn't have!

-It's a pleasure, Mrs.
-Thank you so much!

-Don't worry, we are going that way.
-Have fun.

-Think about that thing as well.
-I thought about it already.

-So, you accept it.
-No, I can't.

You see, Honorable.
I have another plan… Coming!

As an architect
specialized in city planning

I want to take care of another
type of work. Yes, in the car!

Controlling and planning
on a general basis.

-Therefore I must be independent.
-But is it worth it?

No, but I like it.

Give it to me.
Give it to me.

It's too heavy for you!

-A lady who carries her luggage!
-I hope you'll have a boy!

No, we don't want children.

I feel sorry for her.
We'll never get a maid!

-You think and talk like Marco.
-What a nice thing to say.

Marco never wakes up in the morning!
He sleeps like a log.

He never wears an undershirt.
In Sardinia it's cold!

-It's July!
-Take care of him. Bye.

Of course.
Hurry or we'll miss the train.

It will take us five minutes
to get to the station.

-Bye.
-I need to talk to you.

Take care of her.
She's just like me, so passionate!

And men take advantage of this.
Be delicate.

-I'll do my best.
-The thermos.

Real coffee! Don't worry. Goodbye!

Be delicate! Your mom doesn't realize
that we already made love?

-Bye!
-Bye!

-Ciao, Marco!
-Good bye!

Long live Pius XII!

Not this.

Here, it's this one.
That building on Appia Antica.

Look.

How did they get the permit?

The permit was for one floor,
the rest is illegal.

-These are five floors!
-And three underneath!

-They even dug?
-No, they used the catacombs!

We must take
the documents to city hall.

They don't give a damn!

One way or another,
they must understand!

Hello? It's you, honey!

-Why did you call me?
-What about chicken for lunch?

I told you already? Sorry!

Don't worry, I'll make it in time.
Wait a second.

Mom, chicken is fine.
You take care of everything, okay?

This is how you trick a husband, huh?

See you for lunch.

-What are the two thieves doing?
-Just one of my colleagues came.

-Incroci is sick.
-You got the dumb one!

-Marco says hello!
-Thank you.

I have a surprise for you.
I'll tell you later, when I see you.

I can't tell you on the phone.

Bye, then.

Bye, honey.

-And the pastry?
-I didn't bring it.

-Who will pay for yesterday's beer?
-Timperi, did you resign?

Yes.

-Why are you leaving?
-I have a family to support.

60,000 lira a month is not enough.

With a freelance job
I'll make more money.

You get satisfaction with this job,
that's undeniable.

One can't resign
just to make more money.

You don't say a word?
You agree with Timperi?

-No, I don't.
-We can't give up.

But he has two kids…

One should not have children, then!

It's better for women too.
So they can work and be independent.

Also the relationship
with the male is different.

It's a constant honeymoon,
like having a concubine!

-Aren't you married?
-Not in practical terms!

Honey…

Darling…

-Honey, I'm home.
-Lunch is ready.

Did you come back late?

Yes, but I had time
to make chicken anyway.

My pleasure!

Don't you ask me about the surprise?

What about it?
This is stew with potatoes.

It can't be…

-You don't like it.
-What? It's my pleasure!

It happened because…

Did you put rosemary in?

-Yes, you did.
-My son! Finally!

What joy you've given me!

-Angela!
-What's going on?

That's Efidia's niece. Now that Paola
is pregnant, you'll need help.

She'll live here
and take care of the house.

Children are a blessing, you'll see.

Paola, don't stay up.
You'll get tired.

What did Marco say?
He's so happy!

Marco, congratulations!

I'm coming down too.

-What's wrong? Aren't you happy?
-Yes, yes… No.

-I don't know. Maybe.
-It's either yes or no.

That's not the point.

Don't worry, honey.
I love my job too much.

We will never be
slaves to our children.

Yes, but it would have been better
if we waited longer.

Are you sure?

If your parents waited too,
you'd be in sixth grade now!

Did you already talk about
the problem of the name?

I wish all problems were like that!

How pretty! Look at your daddy!

-She doesn't look my way!
-She's chunky!

Incredible! She looks
so much like my husband!

If you want to come, I'm taking
your granddaughter to her mom.

It's this one!

Let me see. How cute!

Look at dad.

What are you doing, silly?
That is your daughter.

She's much prettier.

Too bad…

I already love this one…

She looks like my husband, we should
give her his name: Gabriella.

I think that Amedea
is a much better name.

She's a Libra,
like King Umberto's son.

She's so beautiful!

Hi, Paola!

-How much does she weight?
-Three kilos and 200 grams.

-How big!
-Madam is even more beautiful.

You must have suffered greatly,
my poor son!

Not much.

Good morning, everyone.
Mrs, let your colleagues do the work.

You work too much.

If you keep that way, the road
will take up the whole forest.

I found it like this,
it was already done.

Without destroying the forest,
the road would have cost much less.

But it wouldn't have reached
those pieces of land

that are very interesting
for those who approved the project.

What are you talking about?
These lands belong to the Vat…

Vatican!

And if we make this building
we'll dirty our hands too, then!

It is what it is. If it wasn't us,
they'd find someone else.

Always the same excuses.
It's too hard to work nowadays.

This isn't about the building.
Some ideas, some solutions

should be defended at all cost,
like if it was our child…

Oh, my God! The child!

-Good morning.
-Mrs. Architect.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

Calm down! Lunch is coming!

I'm coming!
Didn't you hear your brother crying?

Where were you?
You could have called Angela.

-Mom, we were helping the workers.
-What did they do to you?

You're right, they left you alone.

Camillo, go put that hammer back.

I was forgetting…

My little Giacomo will get his food!

Angela, how come you care
about the Presidential elections?

After there will be a music show.

Listen…

Giacomo's pacifier is at mom's.
Have it thrown down at you.

How is it going? Hurry.

Right now.

Miss Carla!

Can you throw down
Giacomo's pacifier?

One for me too.

Hey, shortie!

Thank you.

Hear? Daddy is coming.

-Good afternoon. Want some?
-Thank you.

Come in. You're bothering them.

-What do you have there?
-He wanted a piece.

You should never ask. It's impolite.

Why do you ask if you don't eat it?

-What are you doing there?
-I fell. I'm getting up.

Good.

-Hi, Paola.
-So early? You had the tailor.

Yes, but I remembered

that I didn't have the check
that you gave me yesterday.

-You lost it.
-Maybe.

-It's either yes or no.
-Maybe it's in the other suit.

Or here. It was even a blank check.

If found, they could write
any amount. Even a million.

-We only have 300,000 lira.
-Oh, that's better!

-What?
-It'd be better to have more money.

But in this case…

Where could I find it in this mess?

Ghita, pick yourself up. Come on.

-See if you can find the bib.
-Yes.

-Give wine to the workers!
-What is this?

This is the Fiat last price list.

A Fiat model 1400 would be perfect
for us. It costs 1,300,000 lira.

-But we only have 300,000.
-My mom would lend us the money.

This way we could buy it.
Do you agree, my love?

No, I don't understand.

Sorry, but I don't like to have
a debt, not even with your mom.

-So you don't want to.
-No, I don't.

-Did you find the bib?
-No, I didn't.

I won't go back to work,
you can go to the hair dresser.

Should I cut them short?

What's that paper in your mouth?
You aren't eating the check, are you?

Sure.
That would suit you better.

-Why aren't you going back to work?
-With all that…

With all that there is
to do in this house…

In every modern family, wives leave
kids in day care and go to work.

You're not the first to work.

-You don't want a Catholic school.
-Let's find a Montessori one.

The only one is close to city center.
How would I take them there?

Take the car!

-So I can buy that car?
-No, a smaller one.

Used.

-Instalments…
-Without seats…

-This way we don't ask anyone.
-We could just ask for a ride!

-Here it is, I found it.
-That's a relief!

The bib, not the check! I lost it.

I'll call the bank
so they can void that check.

Angela, did you find a check?

She doesn't even know what it is.

Did you see a long piece of paper…

Blue, with many little numbers…

-I'm hungry.
-Me too. Go.

Give back that hat
and put away that hammer.

-It was cashed in already.
-All the 300,000?

-7,800.
-How come so little?

-Very well. Gronchi is leftist.
-You'll see.

How good is my little star!
Good job!

-Let's go.
-See?

Come to Daddy.

There's a slide and a swing.
It's much better than being home.

Here. You hold Giacomo.

Put that child down, now.

-But he can't walk.
-Exactly.

-How did you learn to walk?
-I don't remember.

It was a long time ago…

I'll tell you. You learnt it walking.

And your child will do the same.

Stop!

If he's on the floor, you worry.
If he's in your arms, you're fine.

This way you fulfill
your selfishness.

-How old is he?
-Ten months old.

-I'm breastfeeding him, poor baby.
-Start weaning him off now.

Stop calling him poor baby.
You are the poor ones.

You treat your children
like dogs, if not worse.

You, sir. When you go for a walk
with your children…

-Never.
-I knew it.

You must have seen
a man walking a dog.

-Yes.
-Me too.

That's a start.

When the dog stops,
the man also stops.

And he waits. But if he's
strolling around with his son,

when the child slows down,
he forces the child to move.

Every time,
it's a shock for the child.

That's right.

Here, your son will shortly
learn to walk like you and me.

-Like us, I hope!
-Leave them, it's better.

Come.

Here children are free.
Controlled, but free.

Freedom doesn't mean chaos.
But rules, habits

that they create for themselves
and not imposed by their parents.

MOM, HELP ME DO IT MYSELF

Our method is at its best
in the family environment.

-Since my wife works too…
-No.

If you think you can leave
your children with the maid

or with their grandparents,
I won't take them.

-And so, what?
-You can't work and raise children.

Being a mother
is the most difficult job.

With the energy that a mother
produces we could light up a city!

What do you say?

Listen, I… What should I say?
I don't know, I…

We can't leave a city powerless!

Paola! Natalino, you leave me alone.

The rooms aren't good like this.
They are like a prison for the kids.

Let's move down the switches.

Also the door knobs, so kids can turn
on the lights and open the doors.

They can do whatever they want.
Stop, now!

No keys!
You know the Montessori method.

-No.
-Every closed door is a shock.

-But…
-That's yours.

If I move the door knobs,
it will be difficult for the adults.

Make it even lower
so our maid can use them too!

Enough with the trumpet!
Please, my dear.

-Give back this hat.
-No, thank you.

-This is my hat.
-Sorry.

Make a nice estimate
and give it to my wife.

Yes. There's also the other bill…

-For the work already done.
-Yes, give it to her.

-Cover my wife's studio in plastic.
-Plastic in a studio?

That will be the playroom.

-Excuse me if I made you wait.
-No.

-You just did it…
-They are children.

-What about your hand?
-It's made of wood, dear.

You can't understand, but I'll tell
you anyway. I'm an anarchist.

They have a wooden hand?

Only those as dumb as me who
let a bomb explode in their hand.

-What does anarchist mean?
-Ask Mom.

-Come in.
-Merci.

He came to give us back
the amount of the check we lost.

He found it,
he filled it and cashed it.

-Why 7,800 lira?
-It's my rent.

I wanted to give it back to you
but I didn't have the money.

Never mind then. It doesn't matter.

I always pay my debts.

Excuse me. Thank you.

This is my breakfast.

I can never find 8,000 lira cash.
So, if it's possible…

I'd like to give it back
giving you some items.

It's all good stuff.
I wear the same socks.

Here.

-I only use dark socks.
-And I like them colored.

Short socks are more hygienic.
You should get them.

Some things for women?

-No, I don't sell female items.
-That's a shame.

Are you a comrade? Strange.

-And you, Miss?
-No.

Here is wood,
but going up it's all flesh.

These kids are full of life!
Where are you going?

She takes care of my things. Goodbye.

-This bill?
-Give it to my wife. Goodbye.

-Your husband told me to…
-What size does he wear?

Now that we are in confidence,
I can introduce myself.

-I'm Romeo Giavardi.
-147,000 lira.

Let's do 130, 000 lira.
Come on. It's a 10% discount.

Come on, it's customary.
She'll pay cash. Deal.

Are you putting make-up on?

What are you doing?

I was looking for that architect
magazine you asked me for yesterday.

You keep it here, in the playroom?

It doesn't matter,
I don't need them anymore.

-But I need them.
-Yes?

Yes.

I should also have something
about the highways.

I read it in the office,
and then got it.

I forgot about it, but I'm sure
you'll find it interesting.

No, dear. Here.

If you read it,
then we can talk about it.

No, Marco. Not now…

-The kids must pee.
-I'll take a shower.

What do you say?

-Well…
-It's either yes or no.

How silly!
This morning, Incroci called me.

He says that…

The guy they hired…

Is so useless that he should come here
and I'll go back to work.

You're lucky you're out of that.
I have so many troubles…

Why? What happened?

What do you care?
Everything will be alright.

Where's the soap?
Everywhere but in the bathroom.

I saw the kids
making bubbles with it.

Yes, but where?

Does he have a fever?
Rub him with iodine tincture.

Who is sick? Giorgio or Sandro?
Oh, Claudio!

I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Thank you, you're adorable.

-See you tomorrow.
-Who was it?

-I don't know, I never asked.
-Why do you call a stranger?

He works for the alarm service.
He's so nice.

He's a widow with seven boys and a girl.
Eight children!

-And you call him "adorable".
-I don't know his name!

The alarm will go off at 6:30
so at 7:30 I can call Angela.

-Wait.
-What?

-I want to turn off the light.
-Never mind.

-What do you care?
-I'm ashamed.

-Of what?
-Let me do this.

Is it true that many men think about
someone else while making love?

Yes, my love… No, I don't!

That's better!

It would be upsetting. I'd rather
have you go with someone else

-and think of me…
-Someone more beautiful than you

I've never met…

Who could it be? Let's not answer.

Where is it? Here.

Tell them that we are busy.

Hello? Yes…

I'm glad! It's the phone company
clerk. His son is feeling better.

-I'm happy about that!
-My husband wants to know your name.

Thank you. Tomorrow at 6:30.
His name is Stefano.

A nice name!

Wait, Giacomo was uncovered
and very sweaty.

We won't be like we were
with Giacomo, right?

-We were so sure…
-No, honey. Don't worry.

Don't worry now…

I'm stuck…

Yes, honey…

-What are you doing?
-I can't sleep!

-Go to bed!
-No, you go!

-We should do something.
-Count sheep…

I did, but they were only a few.
I ran out of sheep!

Then go wake up Mom… You woke
me up, you can wake her up as well!

I'll take care of her.

How can a child be up at this hour?

And why does she walk around

and on the terrace
where it is so damp?

Do you want to be alone
or have a conversation?

A conversation.

-How is school going?
-So and so.

Today a "pattor" bit my finger.
It hurts here.

It's "parrot", not "pattor".

-Parrat.
-It's "parrot".

"Parrot".

Paola, where…

Where's my soap? The liquid one.

-It fell in the toilet.
-They poured it out.

Grandma and Grandpa gave me this,
but I don't like it at all!

-She paints and is very good.
-Why don't you like it?

-It's too representational.
-What are parrots doing there?

It's a gift from Romeo.

Cats weren't enough?

The more animals we have,
the better it is.

The first time Camillo saw a pig,
he asked me if it was a pink dog!

-That's why I brought these!
-Good job, Grandpa!

Seeing living animals,
kids learn their names.

-Is this a hippo?
-No, it's a little bird!

Mom, Marco. Come out. Lunch is ready.

Kids, go wash your hands.

Don't throw soap in the toilet!

Are you eating fish with a knife?

It's alive.

I'll go around.

Medium rare, for me. Please.

Thank you.

It's better not to get married!

-No, Mom.
-They must do it on their own.

It's their nice Montessori!

We don't want to raise them
the way that we were raised.

Of course! We did everything wrong!

-I want some wine!
-Tell mom!

Water then.

Why is she doing that?

Now it's your turn. Let's see.

No salad for you today.

I forgot to tell you
that Camillo has diarrhea

-and Stalin got kicked out.
-He died three years ago.

Or they wouldn't try!

Krushov talked bad about Stalin
for nine hours straight.

Who is Stalin?

-A communist.
-A criminal!

Mom! Did you see how big Camillo is?

-The communists are the…
-We are socialists!

-It's the same.
-It isn't. Mom, please.

I respect your ideas,
you do the same.

-Honey, try to be…
-Let's not start again.

Why when we are alone you agree with
me and when there's people…

-They can have their opinion.
-Yes, but silently!

Without suggesting
conservative ideals to our children!

-Right in front of them!
-They must hear everything.

Yes, I forgot.
Their usual Montessori!

Where did Dad go?

Poor Dad. We should
have been more careful.

Coming!

Hi, honey!

-See? What a mess!
-What will you do?

-I don't know.
-What happened?

I hurt myself. Why didn't you
bring the children?

I wanted to be alone with you.
I want to talk to you.

-Let's walk.
-What happened?

Don't worry.

We don't have much money,
but that's not the point.

At least that.

You knocked me up again.

Pregnant?

Again…

It's all a conspiracy then!
It's a scam!

Weren't we supposed to be safe
with those Swiss pills?

I'll have your doctor eat them all!

I didn't take them.

If sex is planned before,
it becomes dirty, wrong.

It loses all its poetry.

When I took those pills,
I felt ashamed.

I felt like a prostitute.

Would you like
to be married to a prostitute?

As long as she can't conceive!

I'm not telling you to do anything,
I just want you to think.

If we can barely carry on with three
kids, how can we make it with four?

Since when do you worry about
how we carry on?

You just care that
we don't ask anyone.

I'll do this too.
I'll save somehow.

We can have the baby at home
so we'll save some money.

It's not that.
I didn't talk about money.

Wait! At least now that I'm pregnant!

Okay, but walk.

Thank you.

Listen… There must be another one.

One can't refuse a baby.
Don't listen to him.

-Did you argue?
-No, everything is fine.

Marco is worried for my health.

-The doctor also said…
-Let them talk.

I'm with you. I'll help you.

-How will you call this one?
-Goodbye, General.

-Goodbye.
-Hurray for His Majesty!

Hey, this train arrived ten years late!

Did you talk to King Umberto?

-Did you enjoy yourself?
-I just wasted money.

So Dad, what were you saying?

-Nothing.
-What did you do in Lisbon?

-Lisbon is beautiful.
-Is it?

It's beautiful.

-No, I am going first!
-No, I am!

-Kids, be quiet.
-Let me see.

-Let me see.
-Kids, please.

He's so cute!

Stop it.

All together.

Dad.

This is our child.
We wanted him.

We had to call him Amedeo.
He looks just like you!

Don't make them join the military.

Nowadays it's useless.

It's out of fashion.

The picture of the king is gone.

Come.

Take the kids out. Here.

Not her, you.

Let's go. Come on.

Come, Millo. Take your coat off.

Are you hungry?
Would you like a snack?

Grandma will give you something good.

Watch over them, especially him.

Amedeo?

No, him. Marco, your husband.

Marco, you know that your father was
a brother to me. He always helped me.

If you ever need help,
you know where to find me.

Thank you, Romeo.

In a few minutes,
the secretary of the Roman Federation

is going to open the election campaign

and speak about the theme "Rome, holy
and immortal place of faith and freedom."

Citizens of Rome

Keep going!

Citizens of Rome,
to glorify the history of Rome

and its ancient genius,
vote Scudo Crociato.

To carve into granite the face of Rome,

during an important time in
Western civilization, vote Scudo Crociato.

To prevent the Cossack horses
to drink in St Peter's Square,

vote Scudo Crociato.

To get a future of serenity,
wellness and freedom, vote Scudo Crociato.

Citizens of Rome.

In a few minutes, the secretary of the
Roman Federation is going to open

the election campaign

and speak about the theme "Rome, holy
and immortal place of faith and freedom."

This is how the city is
developing towards the south.

All of those neighborhoods
have massive buildings.

Twelve floors, penthouses
and basement apartments.

Before the war
we'd come here on vacation

and now there's a density
of 900 people per hectare.

In 20 years we transformed Rome
into an ocean of concrete!

Things are better in the other
European capitals?

Yes, Honorable.

The left-center agreement
was signed yesterday morning.

Honorable Moro himself stated it
at the end of the meeting.

If it keeps going like this, our kids will
have to take the metro to go to the park!

And it doesn't even work.

It takes time, come on!

The Ministry is still taking care
of the earthquake in Messina.

I respect you town planners.

But don't forget that we solve
many problems every day.

Of course,
and you solve them like that!

This is the housing bloom.

It looks like a cemetery,
a life sentence.

And we are still here talking
about the city planner.

It's been 15 years that we do
meetings, committees, congresses

and write articles,
statements, notifications…

Fifteen years that we work thinking
that we can change everything

and suddenly you understand
that the only one who did something

are these reckless people.
That's so bad!

They cut down trees,
filled everything.

They did too much!
Paola, do you understand?

Read again.

-Yes, said "orando".
-Alright. But who?

If that's not his name,
who is he then?

-Why did you write Orlando?
-Who's Orando?

-What are they do?
-Doing!

-Orlando…
-Orando, not Orlando.

-Thank you.
-Put this on.

-How much is two times three?
-Six.

The cat will ruin the "belvet".

-It's velvet.
-Take that!

-Son of a pitch!
-It's son of a…

Brothers shouldn't say that.
It's not nice.

-Make that flag…
-Hand it to me.

I just need red
to make a beautiful flag!

I don't know, look in your planner.
I'll be back.

Soon you have swim lesson.
Hurry up.

-Were you saying something?
-If you come and go!

Amedeo, are you sad?

My eyes are crying!

It's the first time
that a tooth fell out!

When you lose a tooth
Daddy gives you 500 lira.

Four kids makes four teeth a month!

Come, play with Daddy.

Let's celebrate
the loss of your first tooth!

The horse of the proud
goes around, goes around.

The horse of the child
is pretty mild, is pretty mild.

The horse of the young
goes to the gong, goes to the gong.

When the king goes on top,
it takes him to the pond.

But then he tries to make it march
and he gets thrown in with a splash!

Again!

The horse of the proud
goes around, goes around.

The horse of the child
is pretty mild, is pretty mild.

-The horse of the young…
-Get up.

Come up and Grandma
will teach you another one.

Your mom is always there
listening to our conversations!

One day I'll go out naked!

Why not? What's wrong?

I don't know, I smell something.

-It's stinky.
-Go see.

-Where's my telephone book?
-He didn't give me 500 lira!

-Amedeo, why did you tell her?
-Come in.

You could give him those 500 lire.

-Mom…
-Who's there?

It must be Bonaria,
the new maid from Sardinia.

That's what it was! I bet
your suitcase is full of cheese!

Come in.

Don't be afraid.
This is your new house.

Go rest a bit.
We'll have a good chat later.

Take her to her room.

Can you read? It doesn't matter.
You will learn.

We'll try to solve also the problem
of your dress and your hair.

-You're not ugly at all.
-Paola!

Try not to do with this one
what you did with Angela.

You clean her up, you make her study
and you find her a job.

-All life being a maid?
-I spend my life in an office.

-Writing articles no one reads.
-Yes, you're right.

What are you doing? Stop!

They don't bother me at all!

How was your day today?

Good or bad?

How could I know
if it was good or bad?

It's not that simple.
It's a difficult thing to say.

One tries to understand, I…

Tomorrow I have Ghita's
Latin teacher to talk to.

Your mother and Peppina
argued again.

Amedeo is always sad.

Like if he knew
that we didn't want him.

We are both tired.

I fell for my literature professor.

And when he failed me,
I try to commit suicide.

I jumped in the river.
A soldier saved me.

I saved a guy who was drowning once.

-I slept with him.
-No, I just saved him!

You're wonderful!

See what I was saying? They're
building all over the country.

In ten years they'll have to farm
sheep on the terrace!

Too bad your mother
didn't use birth control!

-What are you doing?
-I like to do forbidden things!

-Don't you?
-Where are you going?

I want to go see it
because you're interested in it.

How come you are a journalist?

I went to London.
I met a journalist there.

-Why are you laughing?
-Nothing. It's just like that.

I like it.

-Lucky you. You didn't get married.
-Food is ready.

-I forgot about the sea bass!
-Eat mine as well.

I can't eat anymore.

-Really?
-It's a pity.

-It's wonderful.
-Eat it then.

How come you always say
"wonderful"?

I don't know.
I used to say fabulous all the time.

-Does it bother you?
-No. A guy always says, "I doubt it."

-Honorable Gatto.
-Do you know him?

He introduced us three months ago.

He's dumb.

Not everybody comes here just to eat.

Those two came up when we arrived.

Why was I lucky not to get married?
Where you forced to?

No, no. It's just that…
At the beginning…

But after a while

a family becomes
all about the kids.

Get clothes for them, food…

A modern education,
like if there weren't other issues,

like if I didn't have
the right to have problems.

My job, my troubles, my arguments.

First of all, it's vital
to clean your kids' ass!

The only thing that matters in Italy
is the family.

Our only flag!

So we have to give up
everything for the family?

I don't think so.
That's why I didn't start a family.

-What if I have one?
-You can break it.

I don't want to smell fish
for two months!

We have to play the last match.

-Is that you, honey?
-Yes, hi.

Bonaria's fiancé arrived,
so Romeo helped me with the kids.

Giacomo, get the thermometer.

I'm afraid he has a fever.

-Aren't you hungry tonight?
-Well… Enough.

Look what I made you.
Roasted cod!

-Do you want another one?
-No, that's enough.

-Mom!
-Yes.

Be sure I put it in my mouth
and in my bum!

-Five minutes each!
-First in your mouth, I hope.

-I'm not hungry anymore.
-38.2.

He's full of red spots.
It must be measles.

-How will we prevent the spread?
-I already had measles.

Oh, well! We could send
the other kids to the grandmas.

In a week they'll ruin ten years
of Montessori school.

This time I won't get screwed.
It's the fourth illness in a year.

-Come.
-I had all those diseases.

-You don't eat anymore?
-I don't want to.

You already had dinner.

-I did.
-We'll get out of this quickly.

Take it.

I didn't eat much before. I was
afraid the kids wouldn't have enough.

I feel like they are my own children.

Come to bed and stay all together.

Leave Rivera alone.
You have a fixation with him!

Get in!

When they recover we should take them
to the seaside for three months.

As you wish.

-Where will I go?
-I'll fix you too.

If Romeo wants to stay overnight,
I could go to a hotel.

A Montessori one.

Marco, the telephone.

Thank you.

Hello? Hi, Mom.

I don't when they'll be back.
Yes, mom.

Of course. Tell me.

Yes, the sea is so good for children.

No, just greet her for me.

I work anyway.
She just stays home all day?

She must wake up.

What do I do with her?
I'm her brother!

Oh, my God! Romeo!

-Who is he?
-A nuisance.

-That guy that is always with you?
-Yes, it's him!

-I want to meet him.
-Where are you going?

How much for those underwear?

-3,500 lira for you.
-How about 2,000?

I don't come here to get tanned.

-Do you know Mr. Floris?
-If I know him?

They'd like to have me there
every day, but I can't.

-I have my company.
-I understand.

-Are you a comrade?
-Not yet, but maybe…

Just give me 1,000 lira then.

What do you think about Floris?

-How do you know him?
-We have been friends since school.

You're a dangerous friend.

-But he's a good man.
-Well, yes. Yes.

Good enough.

But it's his wife, you see?

She's such a woman…

-Here, a gift.
-What did you tell him?

-We talked about you.
-In what terms?

Bad terms, but I disagreed.

Can I ask you something?

Why didn't you ask me
to sleep with you?

Is that how things work now?

Yes. Sometimes, yes.

-Dad, we are back!
-You should have called!

Mom wrote you a telegram,
but we forgot to send it to you.

-Dad.
-Hi, darling.

Dad, do you like my octopus?
I caught it.

Thank God.

-Where should I put the robes?
-In the bathroom.

Put the octopus in the bathtub.

Hi, honey! How are you?
See what a nice surprise?

I put everything away
and I'll come to tell you.

Bonaria, put the suitcase
in the kids' room.

Is there something ready?
I must go out.

-Alright.
-Where are my cigarettes?

-Millo, did you take the gloves?
-Yes, and the flippers too!

Somebody go ask Grandma
for the keys to the blue medicine bag

we left with the porter,
so you can take the cats too.

That's Bonaria's mother.
She came to Rome to have surgery.

Nice to meet you.

I convinced her to come.
She'll stay with us for a few days.

You did good.
Stay there, don't worry.

Who's seen the keys to the big wardrobe?

-Thank you for the cheese.
-The door!

Excuse me.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

Listen… That's you, Bonaria!

How are you?

-We just got back.
-How are you?

Romeo, dear. Like this, on the phone?
Six woollen underwear?

Bring them here. Bye.

-Listen, Amedeo.
-I'm busy.

Get in the bathtub,
I'll come wash you.

-The octopus is in the bathtub.
-Put him in the bidet!

But Mom told you to get some bottles of…

Yes, yes.

Where are Amedeo's jackets?

Hurry up, go back down,
get help from Millo!

He went down to the car.

Hello? Who is it?

Hi! Thank you for calling me.
Did they come back?

-Do you want to tell me something?
-Nothing in particular.

Call Iaia to tell her goodbye.

I feel lonely.

Careful, they may see you.
From the window.

-There's no one.
-Can you wear something?

If we can avoid the show…
Or we could sell the tickets.

-Alright.
-My shirt, what a good idea!

I didn't wear any perfume today.
Don't worry.

-Where did the cigarettes go?
-There's a warehouse here.

-Can't you be more neat?
-No, I'm fine like that.

Here they are.
I like to go around naked!

-Where's the lighter?
-I just gave it to you.

You feel uncomfortable with me.

No. It's just that I wanted
to tell you something.

I know what you
want to tell me by heart.

From the first day I knew
that you had some problems.

But I can fix only
those concerning a wife.

-What does my wife have to do with it?
-I didn't mean your wife.

You always talk about her.

I meant that the other problems
that you have

I can't solve those,
even if I wished I could.

I'm useless.

I'm not even handy to you.
You're still in love with your wife.

How can I make you understand?

-What?
-The bed is full of hairpins.

You're so unlucky.

I'll take it to him.

Giacomo already had it. This is for Millo,
this is for Amedeo, this for Luisa.

-and this is for you.
-No carbohydrate for me.

Guys, please don't make noises.
Dad is sleeping.

-How are you?
-Better.

-Why don't you stay longer?
-I have an appointment.

I can't be late.

If you could take me,
it would help me.

-It's far.
-I'll hurry to get dressed.

We could also give a ride to Romeo.
He is going to the hospital.

I filled the bathtub for you.
Ghita must be in love.

-How do you know?
-She's afraid to get fat.

-Here we go. Who's the boy?
-I don't know.

You promised me to be good
for at least three days.

From Thursday to Sunday.
Today is Monday.

-You're right.
-It's not my fault if it's Monday.

He's right as well!
Calm down and go…

Enough of that!

Did they give you the cake?

-Paola!
-Amedeo, go see what Dad wants.

Camillo and Giacomo
I'll ask you some questions.

Well… Let's start.
Who created you?

God.

Nonsense!

Give me a goatee.
You have tears in your eyes.

-He said something that moved you?
-This razor is dull.

-It hurts.
-I sharpened the pencils with it.

The water will go cold.
I saw a new razor!

Yes, Peppina, but I think
it would be easier to…

And the soap?

They aren't here.
Here they are, look.

Let's read this.

Don't let anyone in the bathroom.

For the Montessori system
every closed door is a shock.

Opened is a shock
for me when I'm in here.

Letting go of a job like that
is a big mistake.

If it's just men it is better.
I'll come with you.

Your mom is here.
Do you want to talk to her?

You remembered about the frame.

Mom, on the phone. Stop it.

You never wash your feet? Stop it.

Do you know that when…

Who's seen my racket?

Don't play tennis in the house.

Don't…

Every time!

Kids, stop! Everything will fall.

I didn't find milk.
Maybe I'll go out later.

-It was an small, easy job. Here it is.
-I got apples and oranges.

Fine.

I nailed my own hand!

Wait… Go.

Paola! Where's my good suit?
I must go out!

Bonaria, take care of Marco.
Go there and ask…

-Let's save the car!
-What's going on?

I left it open.
Now I can't take you.

-Let's go.
-Get an umbrella.

I'm coming too.

Hello? One moment.
Marco, it's from your office.

-Tell them I'm not home.
-It's the association…

I don't care!
They phone me all the time.

Architect Floris left.

Romeo, take care of this child.
I must get dressed.

-How did you know I'd come here?
-I saw your planner.

Now you even follow me…

You can't say that.
You know I never control you.

-It's better not to know.
-Why did you come alone?

They had to study
and I wanted to be alone with you.

I want to talk to you.
Let's walk a little bit.

Don't tell me you're pregnant again.

By who, honey?

Call the office.
They called you twice.

I don't care.

I'll resign soon… I'll resign.

I'm tired of doing a job
that is useless.

Are we in a wealthy age?
I want to be wealthy too.

I can't keep being poor
when there's people making billions!

Do you know
how much they'd give me?

They'd give you an extra month's salary
and paid vacation?

I have to support the family.

I'm not a hero,
I'm just a family man.

Maybe I could have become someone

but not anymore. I'm done.

I sacrificed my chances
when I got married.

When you had me
have all those kids.

I was never a slave to anyone
and became a slave to my family.

I'm tired now.

Tired of being criticized and
disapproved by my own family.

Say what you think.

Say that I'm wrong.

You just realized that some people
make money easily?

I knew it when I married you.

You can do whatever you want.

You want to quit a job that you like
just to make more money.

Do it if you want.

But you must take the responsibility
of what you're doing

without using the excuse
of the family and the children.

Do you think I married you
because you have brown eyes?

I liked what was in your head.

And now that after 14 years
you change your mind,

should I change my mind as well?

You taught me to believe
in things that are right.

I'm sorry, but I'll keep
on believing them.

There's something else too.

You can fall in love with
someone else to get your satisfaction.

But I can't fall in love anymore.

If you change and become what
you were telling me about,

be careful. I don't know
what's going to become of us.

I don't know if I'll like you or not.

-Do what you want.
-Of course I will.

Do you think you convinced me?

What do you want? Go have fun.

-Superlative of sublime?
-Sublest!

-Abstract or concrete?
-Concrete.

-Superlative of teacher?
-Teachest!

Be careful!

I saw it!

Don't make noise! They are working.

-It looks like he's fighting.
-He's working.

The average Italian

spends two and a half hours
on transportation per day.

My wife takes me to the office
and the kids to school.

And then she has to go pick them up
from school and me from the office.

It's four hours' driving. At night
it would take her 12 minutes.

-They're noticing it as an association.
-It's tiring to go to work.

They also calculated the vases
as public green space.

Every tree is now a relic!

Mommy, Millo slapped me with his foot.

You're so complicated.
He kicked you.

I don't speak English,
what interview could I make?

At the association? No.
Have him come here tonight.

-Bye. What are you doing?
-Did you call me?

You switched off the light!
Give me more coffee.

Make them shut up!
They are never tired.

Of course not.

How many times I told you

not to hang from the chandelier?
-So many times!

No one's getting the phone?

Hello? Yes, I'll call her. Ghita!

Ciao, Carlo!
I'm listening to the radio.

Don't bother your father. Go there.

Wait one moment.

-Paola, I asked you for a coffee!
-Is this a boy or a girl?

-Third sex.
-What does it mean?

Paola, what's the story
of the turtle? Leave me alone!

The door!

He hits the ball
and then runs to the net…

You work too much.
You should rest a little.

At least on Sunday.

We should think a little
bit more about our health.

Our kids are big now,
Amedeo doesn't pee in bed anymore.

Soon, I won't have anything to do
and I'll be able to take care of you.

That day I want to find a husband
who is in good shape.

Still young. We could
take a second honeymoon.

-Maybe a fifth child…
-No!

I miss being pregnant.
What am I here for then?

No, forget about that!

Right, four is enough.

Thursday Ghita
has a doctor's appointment.

Why don't you come too?
You seem exhausted.

Maybe you just need a little cure.

-What happened?
-Giacomo crashed the chandelier.

-Did you hurt yourself?
-No.

This is just a normal phase,

typical of your daughter's age.

-You don't have to worry.
-Thank you.

About your husband,

I never saw a man
with a stronger will.

He works too much,
but he's not alone.

-We all need to take better care.
-I'm glad.

How lucky!

What are you doing?
Are you crying?

-You should be happy, no?
-I'm happy.

I'm just having anxiety
because I was so worried

and you gave me good news!

If Marco was sick,
I'd get sick as well!

What would we do without him?

Don't do this. He's just fine.

I'm glad! I'm really glad.

He's so good.
You should get to know him better.

You could come to dinner
at our place with your wife.

It would have been difficult, just now
that he was starting to like his job.

You didn't tell me this
just to calm me down, right?

-I told you, your husband…
-He's the perfect father.

We are very proud of him,
me and the kids.

There are four of them.

And it's all because of him
that they are so nice and healthy.

Ghita is the oldest and
she is a little absent minded.

I don't want her to end up like
Angela, even though I like whores.

And then there's three boys.

Giacomo has a retained testicle.
Do you think it will come down?

Will it?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Say something.

I guarantee, I'm fine as well.

It's just that I'm… I'm very happy.

I'm just happy.

I feel…

I'm so…

I'm very happy!

NURSING HOME

Doctor, how is it going today?

-A little better.
-They gave her a shot?

-Of course they did it.
-Why don't you do it?

I don't trust the nun!

I don't know, Stefano.
You could get a record player.

It's more expensive,
but you could pay it in instalments.

When will your cousin marry?
I can't come. Sit down.

If I'll be better.
There's lot of people here.

My mother, my mother-in-law…

Talk to you tomorrow.

No, I don't need
the alarm clock here.

Now I can sleep as much as I want.
Goodbye.

I brought you socks
so you'll be warm.

They are for men, but who cares.

You think about everything.

-How much?
-She's fine. But don't tire her out.

-She needs to rest.
-No, don't worry.

I'm fine when I can
just talk to people.

-Does she hurt you?
-No, she's good.

Go get a chair for the lady.

-Who is she?
-A patient, like me.

But she's much better.

-Is she a communist?
-Yes

Bonaria, go home.
The kids are home alone.

-No, your husband is with them.
-He may need help as well. Poor man.

What are you doing?
I didn't hear you!

-Bye, Dad!
-Bye.

-Bye, Dad.
-Bye.

- Bye, bye

Don't take it off.

-Did you take the money?
-Yes, 400 lire.

-You have to give me 100 lire then.
-Alright, later.

Good morning.

So…

Floris…

Are you the head of the family?

Are you the head of the family?
