THE SEED OF MAN

I'm back on air with some bits of advice.

Solid blocks of this colour here indicate the infested zone.

Yellow is the plague.

No cause for alarm, though, as we won't be seeing any of it.

Goodbye.

The report is not dwelling upon past events.

It very quickly turns into an exposition of horrors.

Its conclusions are frightening.

The only ones that were able to resist...

were army units, equipped with...

special systems of detection and prevention.

Civilians, on the other hand, are defenceless.

Why was the 50-year cease-fire broken?

Why are you not eating?

I'm a bit scared.

Don't be afraid, it will be OK.

Take it easy, you'll break your jaw!

Gabriella Ferri will sing La Collanina for you.

If we get going now, we'll reach the house tonight.

I'm ready.

How awful.

Look, Dora. It's a Sikorsky 61.

An old model, with 12 functions.

They are not being made any more.

The new models are completely different.

I'll take two bottles.

- As you wish. - A little bit of whiskey, miss?

- How much is it? - 1200 lires.

Where are you going?

Back home. It's 400 km away from here.

Thanks for the whisky.

Let's go.

- Have a good trip. - Farewell.

Halt!

- What is it? - Vehicles are prohibited.

- Where are we? - In the Zone of operations.

Stay here, this is a check-point.

Sure, we'll wait.

It's not them.

We will let them go.

They'll be our guinea-pigs.

That was not planned.

Come, youngsters.

- What happened? - What must be.

Come in.

Leave those candies here.

Don't be afraid.

Are you engaged?

Married?

Are you a virgin?

- Or not? - Why?

No need to be afraid. But you have to answer questions.

Any venereal diseases?

And you?

You're wasting your time.

She is dead.

Listen to me.

We have a high alert situation here.

Follow my instructions carefully.

Do not move away from this zone.

Find yourselves a house.

You'll be on your own, no help and no medications.

Learn to live a primitive life.

- You'll have to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps. - What a horrible word.

Take these pills. They will protect you..

from leprosy, cholera,

typhus and the plague.

They will expire in six months. After that...

You too.

I'll give you an injection just for females.

There you go.

You should know that the pestilence that decimated..

a third of Europe in the 4th century is nothing...

compared to what we are going through now.

It's done. You can go now.

I'd advise you to blow your money away, it won't be of any use to you anymore.

"Brooklyn, chewing-gum with the bridge."

Which parfume would you like?

The yellow one.

Is there a reason for letting them live?

Yes.

It's not out of cruelty, but out of necessity.

You can go now. Burn the dead.

That's enough, you've had enough fun.

Take your stuff, the vehicle stays here.

- Why? - Such are the orders from above.

We have to take the bottle.

Go, shoo!

All these stuffed animals...

Look!

Dora!

Can you hear me in the production room?

This is a special announcement.

We'll show you the images that we just received.

There is a risk that the transmission might be interrupted, so...

we're asking our audience to excuse us.

These attrocious images are just a little glimpse

into the catastrophe that engulfed the world.

Here you can see London burning.

We are appealing...

to everyone - stay calm and have confidence.

The announcement of the end...

travels through electronic brains that do not know about...

human doubts or hesitations.

These images do not...

need any comment.

A whole civilisation in ruin. Everything needs to be rebuilt.

Can you hear me, Major?

We are on line with the global committee for reconstruction...

to interview major Mario Vulpiani...

who gives us a breathtaking report from Rome.

It's about the last mission that was going on when the catastrophe striked.

I managed to return the machine to the base by pure miracle.

We were unable to land or fly on.

Switch off the flood lights! What do you want?

It's the television. Who are you transporting.

I am going to die.

It is the Pope!

It's a secret.

At least, let him do one final address!

Fine, but only while we take him away.

Go!

Lord...

Holy Father, say a word for your children of the whole world.

I fouled my soul, I lost the paradise,

I deserve hell for I offended you.

You are infinitely good and worthy of love.

I would rather die, then do you harm...

Holy Father, say something!

You want the horn?

There it is!

Help me put the parmesan where it belongs.

It is heavy.

Wouldn't it be better to eat it?

No, it belongs in the museum.

Food.

It says here:

"Parmesan Reggiano, 7 centuries old. A grand cheese."

I could make an atomic bomb with this.

Look. Don't sleep.

Dora!

The language of the atom.

Neutrons and protons.

The periodic table of elements.

Nautilus' engine.

"The heat is generated by an atomic bomb...

"inside a termonuclear engine."

Are you sleeping?

A dirigible!

I'm sure about it!

A dirigible?

- Look. - Go see.

Quickly, let's go to the beach.

We are saved!

Look how fast it is!

Go find some blankets! Anything that....

has some colour!

It's coming towards us.

We need to make a sign.

Do you think they will see us?

They will see the sign.

Why did you put this up?

I don't know. To welcome the crew.

It's approaching. Look.

It's not a dirigible.

It's a bottle.

Pepsi-Cola.

Yes.

Merry Christmas.

It's Christmas already.

I can't reach it.

The bottle keeps going.

Does it mean that New York still exists?

Merry Christmas.

Thanks.

The bottle is going.

Too bad. It was beautiful.

Such a pity that it's gone.

You had a good idea.

I didn't think that your plants could heal me.

Come here.

I'm sick of this sweater. Bring me a night gown.

This one?

Or this one?

That is not a night-gown, that is a dress.

Take your pick.

Than it's this one.

The medication is becoming useless. I'll drink what's left.

These plants taste bitter.

But they are life-saving.

Now, I want to have a child.

What is it?

You don't want them?

Cino!

What is it?

Come down!

There are horseman all clad in black!

Do you live here?

Yes, this is our house.

We are from the Administration.

- Major Devotis. - Glad to meet you.

Are you her husband?

Why is she not pregnant?

Are you his wife?

The world needs to be repopulated.

All females must be impregnated.

The register.

Don't touch.

First and last name.

Cino Doria.

Are we still numerous?

First and last name.

I don't have any children.

But I have an idea that might be of interest to you.

Do you remember this?

Here are the things that I gathered.

- It is beautiful. - A Piaget watch.

Eau de Cologne Executive.

A wheel of parmesan.

Perfectly preserved.

What do you say?

It's very good.

A four-speed turntable.

An Ignis fridge with two doors.

A Brion Vega portable TV.

I found a car, but I don't know how to bring it here.

Go help this young man!

OK, chief.

Major, look.

Cino, I have an idea.

I'm naming you the curator of the museum.

This is a souvenir from Florence.

I will closely guard it.

The lunch is ready. Come!

In the name of the Father and Son.

I have something else for your museum.

A perfect Paxis Olivetti. You won't find one of these again anytime soon.

It is splendid.

- Can I eat? - Of course.

Aren't you hungry? I have some apples.

No, thanks.

I'll put up a plate: "Donated by Major Devotis".

What are you thinking about, Dora?

What are you doing? Put that clock back!

Gentleman, I'll be going.

Dear friends, it is dark, the storm is roaring, you are alone...

but keep in mind: you have to produce a child!

Gentlemen, gallop!

Dora!

Look!

It is huge!

A whale just for us!

- Aren't you happy? - No, it'll bring us bad luck.

Let's go back to the house.

I'm cold.

I'm afraid!

I am Captain Achab! The harpoonist!

Dora!

Get away from there!

Why are you upset?

It's the white whale, it's Moby Dick!

It's Pinocchio's whale.

Because of the plague...

we must leave now.

How do you like it?

Your place is absolutely fascinating.

And those tailcoats! It's like a dream!

Look at that black dress!

While painting the whale, I met...

this woman.

You are beautiful. Good day.

I have all kinds of stuff in my bag.

I robbed three supermarkets.

Creams, parfumes, toothpastes...

toothbrushes...

Everything!

I'm a robber!

Smell this!

Do you like it? I love it.

How do you do.

You scared me! Are you crazy?

My hand!

I can see you!

It is very beautiful.

Do another one.

No, I only have two shots left.

I'm saving them for my child.

You can sleep on the couch.

Go find a blanket.

Excuse me.

Can I come in?

I'm so scared down there on my own.

Can I stay with you for five minutes?

You don't know, you have no idea...

how sad it is...

to be alone for such a long time.

It's horrible.

My dear Dora!

You are so sweet.

What is it?

- Are you angry? - I'm sleepy.

Excuse me.

I'll give you a massage.

It will help you fall asleep.

Why do you look so sad?

- I'm thinking. - About what?

You don't know?

It's cold now.

What do you have there? Mice?

Don't you want to tell me?

Yes, I'd like to ask you a question.

You know the world, you have experience...

Is it normal to want a child?

Not only normal, it's a must.

Dora doesn't want it.

She is not cooperating.

It's beautiful day. I brought you some hot milk.

- What are you doing? - A herbarium of medicinal plants.

Very interesting.

Have a seat.

For example, this is a grass.

Just like in a picture.

Just like in a book.

And this one here?

Just a moment, I'll find what that is.

Come on, drink your milk.

Finish it all up.

Isn't it good, eh?

I've been thinking about what you said. I have a small present.

It's a pacifier.

The meat is good.

It is very tender.

What is it from?

Just eat.

That woman, that was with us...

where could have she gone?

She left.

She was a bit strange.

It's a pity, we got along so well.

Aren't you happy to be alone with me again?

Sure, but we'll go looking for her tomorrow.

Are you happy with me?

Yes, Dora.

But we can't stay alone anymore.

I want a child.

It's our duty.

- I am your woman. - I am your man.

"Peeled tomatoes Cirio - imbued by the Sun."

Your whale is rotting fast.

Let's run!

Wait for me! I'm afraid of all these bugs!

I'll go wash myself.

It's beautiful!

The water is very warm today.

The mud is good for the skin and blood circulation.

Two poor Blacks fallen from Grace.

Come on, let's go!

Are we going?

No. I want to stay and live here.

But I can't.

I'm not allowed to.

I am the museum curator.

Then go, if that is the case.

It's over! The plague is over!

We can return home.

The whale disappeared.

How?

It got eaten.

Only a nice skeleton is left.

It's true. Let's go.

That looks like a hand.

It is a hand.

That sculpture is beautiful.

Hope the see will not take it away.

- Are you happy to be back? - Yes.

There they are.

I've put them all there.

They will keep us company.

Are you looking for company from a puppet cemetary?

We are back.

We have to seriously consider our future.

I want a child.

No, that is not possible.

We have no right to do that.

Another mouthfull.

Honey and ricotta, ricotta and honey.

Today, I hope to plant the seed of man.

Sin is good.

How do you feel today, dear?

I have a bit of a stomach ache, but it's not bad. I'm hungry.

I've already caught three of them.

This one here is a female.

100, 200, a million babies.

Do you really feel well?

Yes, I'm just a bit nauseus.

100, 200, a million of babies.

Wanna know what wrong with you? You are pregnant!

I impregnated you!

That is not true!

I swear it is!

Why have you done that?

You don't have a right to do that!

The seed of man is sprouting!

I impregnated!

The seed of man is sprouting!

Lots of children! The children of children!

I impregnated!

The seed of man is sprouting!

10000 million children!

Lots of children! The children of children!

10000 million kids!

A million, a billion kids!
