All language subtitles for Un certo giorno (Ermanno Olmi, 1969) ENG

We are a full service agency,

structured by the following parts:

management, marketing

research, creativity

resources, contacts.

But now we will see how we
organize the contribution of

the various departments in
terms of work flux.

1st phase: define the objective
of communication.

To emphasize the
masculinity of the man

he needs to be hard, and not
interested in the woman at all.

Yes, he looks at the bike, but the
emphasis needs to be on the bike,

while here, according to me,
its all going to the bike.

We don't sell motorcycle oil;
we sell men's deodorant.

You need to see it detailed.

When it will be detailed the
emphasis will still be here.

Look, Pablo, this is better
but mind the woman.

This doesn't work well,
its just a practice sketch.

But, I believe this is moving
towards the right direction.

� Is this already finalized?
� Yes, Valentini is working on it.

Remember there is still
problems with the packaging.

Let's go see it over there.
I think its going well.

Look.

No, wait a minute...

According to me this is perfect.

However, I challenge anyone to see
that this is about a deodorant

I challenge anyone to understand
why the woman's hand has to go here.

I think we have to emphasize the armpit.

Certainly, emphasize the armpit.

But, I don't know what to...

Lif the arm.

Lift the cup and let
the woman caress her hero.

�And what do our friends in Frankfurt say?
�For now, they aren't saying anything.

They will at least be satisfied
with the work that has been completed.

Yes, if at the end of three years

our balance turns out as we hope it will.

It seems to me that up until now
everything has gone well

but in this line of work, traveling
to the finish line is always hard.

Yes, now we need to see what we can
accomplish in this next year.

Speaking of which, how did
the thing with the deodorant go?

It went well, tomorrow
we'll have the sketch presentation.

I think we gave a good
impression of the agency.

They're here.

Good day, sirs.

Welcome.

Mister Davoli, the
delegated administrador.

My pleasure. Welcome.

-Pleasure.
-My pleasure.

�We already know one another.
�Hello.

Hello.

�Please, make yourselves comfortable.
�Thank you.

Please, be seated.

Gentlemen, you know the
reason for this meeting.

We will present to you
the creative results of the campaign

and the proposals of the campaign that
we have worked on for several weeks

and also the details of the
technical elements of the product.

I hope our work
pleases you.

Now, I turn the meeting over to
our creative director,

who is primarily responsible for our success
so far and deserves most of the praise.

Gentlemen, before looking at the
results of our creative work

I'll indicate the characteristics
of our packaging

that we've designed
specifically for the product.

Our goal is to give a virile
image to the product.

We know what the public resists
to whom we need to

sell our product to

and because of this the packaging
resembles tree bark

something rough, strong

and indirectly virile.

Now that we have looked at the design,
I would pass

excuse me, the
blinds please,

onto the examination of the creative
designs, which are in incomplete form.

Here is the
first sketch.

As you can see from the
formulation to the ad

we have tried to
express virility

through the slogan:

"Pioner, the virile deodorant. "

The second design puts
our protagonist in relief

A laborer that works at a
machine shop during the day,

uses our product and finds
that he is successfull.

Here he is bowling, but
he could also be dancing

or something
of that nature.

We can say of him:"He who is the
freshest always gets the best. "

"Pioner, the virile deodorant. "

This is the first proposal, which
the agency does not reccommend

but it exemplifies our ideas
for this product.

Here is our
second proposal.

Returning to our research
for the product's design.

Why for men of hard natures?

Because this is the
best way to say

what we've tried to
communicate with the packaging:

"tree bark,
something strong".

"For hard men the
freshness of Pioner. "

As we have said the most
important line is the third.

Hello? Yes,
go ahead.

Well it seems like
it was a heart attack.

That's too bad.

Is that according to a doctor
or just an assumption?

The results of the tests aren't back yet

but according to the doctor who
visited him, the symptoms are clear.

What a disaster.
I' am really sorry.

Listen, tomorrow I'm
going out to visit him.

That's fine. I will let
everyone else know.

In any case, I will be
back before the afternoon.

�Good evening sir.
�Good evening. Where is she?

�She's in there in front of the TV.
�Thanks.

�Have you eaten yet?
�I'm not hungry. You?

A little bit.

�What is it, whisky?
�Yeah.

- You want one too?
- I only wanted a taste.

Wait, if I don't put out this cigarette,
we'll burn down the hotel.

Fine.

Yes, I understand.

See you later.

�Well, how are things?
�I was just speaking with the doctor.

According to him, we don't
need to worry anymore.

What was it exactly?

A collapse caused
by tiredness.

�And now? How is he?
�Normal.

You know how these things are.

Once the incident passes,
everything goes back to normal.

Only now the doctors are saying

he will need a long period of rest.

Then we will get to the
necessary analyses

and a long vacation, which is
the most important thing.

�Coffee?
�No thanks. I had some before I left.

�Would you like to see him?
�If its possible...

As long as you don't talk about work.

Don't worry, I only
stopped by to say hi

and what to say if Mr. Friedman
calls from Frankfurt.

He already knows, he called
him yesterday.

He's sleeping.

Its best to leave him be.

�How's it going? �Fine. Breathing
and his pulse are normal.

At this rate, he will get in
the necessary amount of sleep

which he needs more than any medicine.

Did you find out when the airplane
arrives from Frankfurt?

And did you make sure a car
will be there for Mr. Friedman?

Where did we take him for breakfast
the last time he was in Milan?

And we have already taken
him to La Scala?

What are the kids' names?

Thomas and Siegfrid.
Thanks.

The gentleman is here.

�Welcome, Mr. Friedman.

How is the weather in Frankfurt?

During the winter:
cold, it snows, smog.

�And your wife?
�Well. Thank you.

�And Thomas and Siegfrid?
�Well. And yours?

My daughter is 18,
now she looks after me.

As the years pass,
you swtich roles.

Any recent news on
Mr. Davoli?

I saw him yesterday.

Nothing serious. The only problem

is the doctors told
him he requires a long rest,

and he will not be with us
for some time.

How much time?

At least three months.

What important plans did Mr. Davoli
have during these three months?

Those that he sent to you
a few days ago in Frankfurt.

Let's look at the general situation:

clients, prospects

Where should we start?

Did he say in the telegram
that he would have stopped by sometime?

No. I don't think so.

Then we will need to ask the
secretary to work on my accomadation.

�The usual hotel?
�Yes, thank you.

Can you reserve Mr.
Friedman a hotel?

I hope I haven't
ruined your weekend.

I had planned to go
down to my house in Tuscany

but, of course, I had not
foreseen the present situation.

A shame. Tuscany
must be beautiful.

So beauitful it would be worth
mixing both things.

What do you mean?

We could take our
work with us.

That's an idea. However, let's
talk about it tomorrow.

Welcome.

Here we are.

You might not find everything in place;
this is a house of boxes.

I almost always come alone.

Here. This is your room.

Ah, we have coffee.

�Thank you.
�You're welcome.

Does your wife like
this place?

She likes it a lot.

However we are not always in agreement

on how to live in
this house.

For example, we bickered last time

because my dogs slept on the bed.

And I often come for them.

Cochi, Frida!

Handsome dogs!

You see?
I'm here.

Good, good.

Outside.

Let's take
a walk.

Down,
Frida...

Hinki!

He's the most affectionate
and he always wins when we hunt.

Run ahead.

Down there, from those woods, along the ridge
and from this other part down to the river.

You are a rich man.

Absolutely.

Land here isn't
worth much.

A few at a time, farmers left,
leaving everything behind.

Yes, my grandfather

almost everything around here was his.

Everything you see and beyond.

Olive trees everywhere.

Then land had
a much different value.

Many things have happend since.

After the war I started
again from zero.

I began going around

attaching notices.

My career in advertising

began this way.

Because someone suggested this line
of work rather than another.

And in those moments
you don't ask any questions.

And with the first
money I put aside

I regained this piece
of my childhood.

�Hey, Bruno!
�Hi, Alberto. - See you later.

Hey, Is Doriana here?

No she stayed in Milan.
She needs to study.

What a shame. In that case I'll
keep on riding.

Till next time.

�Are you going to come down and visit?
�Sure.

Till next time.

Do you want that position?

Taking the position of Mr. Davoli.

When someone needs to take that
position, why not me?

In our plans,
Mister Davoli

would have lasted more time,

a succesor would not have
been needed for two or three years.

But at this point we
need to be realistic.

The situation is
what it is.

�I think I can handle it.
�Based on what?

Beyond familiarity
with my work

the possibilites of the
agency, on my experience.

And above all based on
certain plans.

Can you tell me more
about these plans?

In the new client sector,
for example, I have a specific idea.

Those neighbors we greeted today,

beyond being my friends,

they also own 51%

of the largest Italian
grocery business.

I am thinking of
proposing to them

a new product
in their sector.

A product, I
am convinced

for which, exists today
in our market,

a great
potential need.

For its publicity launch,

I would estimate around nine figures.

And what would the
responsibilities of the agency be?

The usual for this
kind of thing.

Would you authorize me
to talk to Frankfurt

about this?

Yes.

Naturally this means placing
yourself as

a candidate for the
delegated administrator position.

I can try.

A position such as this is never
received by just trying.

You can do it or
there's no way back.

This is a about a new product,
a basic product,

of primary necessity.
We won't need to create

a need for it.

We know that new
desires don't exist.

However there are expectations
that a new product can fulfill.

I am coming from the position
of certain ideas

about specific products.

For example, digestive products.
Why are there so many?

Because people have
digestion problems.

What causes them?

So, I found out that people
were taking pills before their meals.

Vitamins, protein, etc.

What does all
this mean?

People eat poorly.

Or what they eat isn't complete
with principle nutrients,

and also isn't
digestible.

And here is the need
for a new product.

We need to find out if
the Italian consumer

will accept
this argument.

Those who have already tried out
products of this type,

for example, with
pre-cooked items

like minestrone
or ravioli,

didn't meet the distribution
quotes that were prefigured.

The concept behind
these products

were psycologically
misguided.

Well, I don't know, its
like selling a tire to a woman.

There is a custom
for certain things.

The housewife
makes ravioli...

which needs to make her feel
like she has worked to justify

her being a housewife and
nothing ese but a housewife.

Why are you here so
late tonight?

Something extrodinary:
"Silly spray".

And you... what
are you researching?

New kinds of food,
martian food.

�Are you a martian?
�I don't think so.

�Sure?
�You can investigate if you want...

Fine, I'll take
your word for it.

First question:

Do you like going
home to eat after work?

The thing I like most after work
is taking a walk.

When I walk I feel peaceful,
and I'm able to think

something that I'm not able
to do at the office.

For me, its a huge sacrifce
spending the whole day inside.

After ten minutes there
in the morning,

I'm already looking at my watch.

I can't wait for
night to come so I can walk,

go out, see people,
waste time.

�And your family?
�What?

They don't expect you?

No, I started living like this
when I took night classes.

I returned home at night,
ate alone

and then went to bed.

You don't like eating
with others?

Yeah, with friends, with
people I like.

With others, no,
they bug me.

Where do you go
to eat?

Wherever.

Usually I like
cooking for myself.

I buy stuff,
a steak

eggs, and then when I
get home, I cook.

If I have a bit of money, I buy
a lot of stuff, more then I need.

For example, a bottle
of fine wine.

Its a bit
of a party.

Isn't your solitude
a little sad?

I'm fine with mine, its
others' loneliness that bothers me.

Excuse me.

I forgot something.

Go inside, I'll
catch up soon

I forgot the wine,

the fine kind.

I'm on the fifth floor.

�I hope we can make it.
�By now, I'm used to it.

That's it.

We're here now.

Excuse me.

This way I can
open the door.

Turning the light on
is a problem,

the switch is broken,
so I have to go in the other room.

Its a bit of a mess,I haven't been
here for more than a month.

Make yourself
comfortable.

Are these paintings
all yours?

Not all of them. Some belong
to friends from Brea.

Kids who come here
to work now and then.

�Why?
�Well, they're friends.

We need to clear some space.

I'd say.

Some aren't bad,
like that green one.

Let's hope this
still works.

�Are you cold?
�A little.

Usually we light
the wood one,

but last time
it gave off smoke.

As you see the pipes are clogged,
who knows when they were last cleaned.

And which is your last work?

The top one,
in the middle.

I bet I can guess
what its title is.

Want to see?

"Enchantment",

"Magic",

or "Solitude".

Yeah, the solitude
of three people.

Two in the big house,
one in the white one.

And you,

What house are
you in?

The white one.

Of course, alone.

Maybe the other two
are more alone.

Which is even worse.

�A little fine wine?
�Thanks.

Why aren't you
talking any more?

There's no
point.

And also

its nicer
this way.

Do you want me?

That'd be
normal.

But I wasn't thinking
about that.

What were you
thinking of?

I wasn't thinking
anything.

You were
looking at me.

Sometimes I like being
like this, without thinking...

Like when moments such as this
occur, when I'm fine

I let
myself go

and try not think
of anything.

Its a strange sensation,
but very beautiful

because I don't feel
anything of me.

Its like its not just me anymore,

but all

everything that's
around me.

The chair, the wall,
the lamp

even the air.

Things aren't very
seperated,

one behind another,

like a line
of objects.

Everything is joined
without distance or time

as if I was all these things.

So I try not
to think

to extend these
moments.

As soon as I start
thinking again,

I become
me again

like before, alienated from

everything around me.

Do you write
poetry?

Why?

You're just
the type.

You speak as if you read
a page from your diary.

Its probably true.

Romantic?

Naive.

A little
unfashionable, right?

I really need them
by tomorrow morning.

If you want to stay here
tonight and type them up

Yeah, maybe that'd be better,
seeing how the typewriter is here.

Ah seeing how you are having
problems getting a meal in,

what would you say to a product
with the right amount of

of vitamins, proteins...?

�That'd be great.
�Good night.

Hello.

Hi.

What are
you doing?

I'm finishing up
typing the interviews

the motivationals for
the food products.

Yeah, they're
needed.

Did they leave
you a door key?

Now that I think
about it, no.

How many more
do you have left?

About an
hour's worth.

I think I'll also
be done in an hour.

I'll come by and
get you.

Great, thanks.

Thanks and
see you later.

Good night.

Where is your car?

Who told you
I have a car?

I thought

I actually do have one

but it left me
walking tonight.

And she was right, poor thing,
she's old, and out of breath.

Can I give you
a ride?

Thanks, at least
to a taxi.

�Its no problem to take you home.
�Thanks.

�Did you eat dinner yet?
�No.

I haven't eaten
all night.

Which wine would you like,
White Tocai or Egri bikaver?

�What?
�Egri Bikaver means bull's blood.

Well then!

�Its a Hungarian wine?
�Yes, a typical Hungarian wine.

Very well,
bring me that too.

�You like this place?
�Yeah its not bad

its nice.

It just seems a little excessive

for an after work meal.

Why?

Well, those violins

You don't like music?

Do you always finish a day
of work off like this?

No, but I wouldn't mind
it. Would you?

Its fine.

To be honest, my invite tonight
was a bit selfish.

Why is that?

I would like to find out, from you,
who did all the motivational research

what you think of this
new food product.

The most important quality
of a good interviewer

is to have no

opinon about the
topic of the interview.

This looks really good.

�Good job.
�Thank you, sir.

After tonight you'll have
finished your work with us.

Offically, yes.

Why only offically?

Well you probaly
shouldn't know this, but

I am behind a day

How come?

If you would like
a reasonable explanation,

I'll just say because of
my "winded" car.

I hope that won't
ruin our night.

But I can reassure you

I only have a couple of
interviews left in the countryside.

Where?

I can choose between Alessandria,
Sondrio, Brescia

places like that.

If you choose Brescia,
I can give you a ride.

Tomorrow I'm going
by Lake Garda.

Great, thanks.

In this kind of situation
what should one do?

You just let
yourself watch.

Like an opera.

Yes, but here they
cool your plate.

Great music.

Listening here offers
even more reflection.

Definitely.

By now, I've gotten used
to this nice life.

�Here you are.
�Thank you.

Dear, its already 10 past the hour.

�Would you mind taking a little walk?
�No, not at all.

�Do you need anything else?
�I'm fine like this.

They told me to walk
at least two hours a day.

What a nice day!

Yes, its
really splendid.

I also came to talk
to you about a project...

As you see my recovery
is extremly pleasing,

walks, rest,
nice music.

Things that tend to
get overlooked.

Whenever I can, I escape down
to my house in Tuscany to

get rid of all of the daily worries.

Its not the same thing.

Its one thing to take
breaks every now and then

and another to completely disconnect
as I have been forced to do.

Maybe you do the same things,
walk, listen to music

even sleep.

But you are always tied to,
as you put it, daily problems.

During this period I have thought a lot
about what I will do afterwards,

after the doctors
say I'm better.

Its a choice

that not only
affects me

but also those who
work with me.

And you more than the others.

I think

I won't go back
to the agency.

I have decided
to retire.

Don't make that face.

This isn't a defeat for me.

Its a choice.

�Hello.
�Hello.

�May I make a call to Milan?
�Yes, go ahead.

Hello? Hey, let me
talk to your mother.

Where did she go?

Yeah I know but
I couldn't call before.

I'm calling
from Brescia.

I don't know if
I'll be back tonight.

Also tell your mom, I'll go with her
one day,... it wasn't important.

I don't know
what time.

Besides its started
snowing really hard here.

Who knows how the
roads will be.

In any case, I'll go directly to
my office tomorrow morning.

And please try to take
some time to study.

Well, how did your
interviews go?

Very well I think
I'll be happy with them.

Did you see how
much its snowing?

Who know what the
streets will be like?

I like the snow.

Like kids do.

You can tell I'm nostalgic
for my childhood.

Snow always reminds
me of the mountains.

During Christmas this
year we couldn't even ski.

Are you
in a rush?

What do
you mean?

Do you need to be in Milan at a certain
time? Is someone waiting for you?

No, I don't think so.

Then, we can go and make
your childhood dreams come true.

How?

We can go eat somewhere,
in the middle of the snow.

And you don't have
to get back soon?

At my house
they know

that my most important
commitments are those for work.

�I wouldn't say this is for work.
�You're wrong.

Its a sign of gratitude for the good
outcome of your interviews.

�Waiter.
�Coming.

�A whiskey?
�No thank you.

�What whisky do you carry?
�Johnnie Walker and JB.

JB will be fine, thanks.

Tired?

Maybe a little.

I'm very happy you're here.

Today is a special
day for me.

Why?

I have the impression

that everything is going
well for me today.

What do you mean
everything?

My work, for example,

This morning,
when I left Milan

I was quite worried about a situation
that put me in an awkward position

with a friend.

Someone from work.

And instead,

unforeseen, everything
worked out.

Did you bring me
good luck?

We have taken into consideration
certain aspects of contemporary life

both in terms of
distribution and

demographic boundaries,

alongside psycological
motivations,

that accompany
these aspects

to evaluate

the possibility of
a new product

in the grocery
market.

What time does the plane
leave for Frankfurt?

At 3:40

�Confirm my arrival.
�By telegram? -Yes.

Above all we note

the diffusion of
additional products

vitamins, proteins,
appetite stimulants,

that clearly
indicate

on one hand, the
inadequacy

for the majority
of consumers

of traditional
elements...

in the contaxt of the
requirements of modern life,

and on the other hand
the existence of a potential market

for a completely
new product.

We have looked
at the proposal

and we think its
very interesting,

especially considering if we
use the idea

for a series of similar
dietary products

but organically different:

meat, fish, dairy
products, and vegetables.

Then besides
a full meal,

we could use the same design
with every product line,

with the same elements
of every line,

allowing housewives
to prepare

traditional meals,

but with all the dieatary
guarantees of a full meal.

In the mean while,
you will hear from us

regarding planning based on
our methodological scheme.

I'll leave you to
your work then.

- See you in Tuscany.
�For sure.

By the way

do you have a name yet
for the product?

"Job Dinner",
Work meal.

I like it?
What do you think?

Interesting. We can
work with that.

�Good, think about it.
�Sure, bye.

Bye.

�How did it go?
�Perfectly.

�Anything else?
�If it goes through, it will be a hit.

I'm sure it will work. This is one
of those things that "walks on its own".

Something like this couldn't
be touched by the competition.

What time is your plane?

At 3:40. We have
a lot of time.

I can't wait to see the face
of our friends in Frankfurt

including the
head bigwig.

And how is Davoli?

He's well. I saw
him a few days ago.

I'd say he's almost
better now than before.

In any case,...

In any case?

Can I tell you
a secret?

It dipends on how
much you trust me.

I don't think Davoli is
coming back.

And Mr. Friedman wants to
propose me to replace him.

But, who knows?.

According to me
you are the right man.

�Thanks.
�You're welcome.

Anyways, if things
should turn out this way,...

...I would never give those guys in Frankfurt
the satisfaction of sending me in retirement.

Within two, three years

I'll throw in the towel and retire
in the country with my dogs.

That'll be nice.

I've had more than
enough of people.

What was that?

I don't know. I heard
a blow, like from a pebble.

What's that
on the window?

Looks like tar.

Surely we didn't
hit anything.

If you ask me, we hit
a rock with a tire.

Oh well.

I don't see anything.

I don't get
this tar.

At long as it wasn't
a branch.

I can't understand
what it was.

Wait a second.

What happend?

They came out of nowhere.
He's hurt.

Who was it?

Berto!

Slowly. Grab him under
the armpits.

Careful.

He can't stand. Let's
lay him in the street..

Careful.

Wait I'm going to
call for the car.

The car!
Come on!

What happend?

Bring the car back here.
Bring it. Hurry!

How? Where did
you guys come from?

Dammit to hell.

But, where did
you come from?

We finished work.
We were going home.

I didn't see you...
I didn't see anybody!

One second, the car's here.
�What is it Berto?

Back, back!

Grab him from there.
Like that. That's it.

The door,
hold it open.

Wait, I'll go in first.

He's hurting.

Pick his legs up.

His feet. Put his feet inside!
Dammit to hell!

You, get in too.
Close it.

�Where is the hospital?
�Down there. Go.

What's he saying?

His children.

�Its nothing serious.
�Keep going straight? -Yes.

Where did you come from?
I can't understand it.

I didn't see anything.
My God!

Where is this hospital?
Are we far?

Wait over there.

I still can't see
how it happend.

I didn't see anything.

�Let's hope its nothing serious.
�I don't think so.

You can't see any wounds. And we
barely grazed them.

Something happen?

Stuchi's been hurt.

What'd he do?

We were working in the
street and a car hit us.

In two hours, there's another plane.
Who knows if I'll make that one.

Well...

Where are you going?
Wait there.

If you would like to
come with me.

Doctor, here they are.

Unfortunately, there
are fractures

in the chest and there will be
internal wounds.

Is it serious?

It could be
very serious.

We barely grazed him.

Sister

We need to notify the
carabinieri, can you do it?

yes.

We also need to notify the family.
�Right away, doctor.

�Who is in the operating hall??
�A doctor Carli, an appendicits specialist.

Excuse me.

Listen, doctor,

in two hours the last plane to Frankfurt
leaves and I have an important commitment.

What do I need to do?
�I don't know what to tell you.

I am not trying to
avoid my responsibilities,

but if I'm not
needed here...

I can leave my
information.

Speak with the Sister,
she takes care of these things.

Here are
my documents

We don't need it.

�Will there be complications?
�It dipends where you hit him.

I mean regarding
the notifcations.

The usual.

The carabinieri will ask questions,
and other stuff.

It would be wise to
notify our lawyer.

Listen

There are some things
we need to do.

I would like to go back to
the grocery offices

so I can make all the
necessary phone calls.

Do you mind waiting here?
�No problem.

I'll come by and pick you up
or you can take a taxi home.

�Fine.
�Thanks.

Hello.

�I work with your company...
�Yes, I know you.

I was just involved in
a car accident

someone was injured,
we took him to the hospital.

now I need to speak to
my lawyer.

I thought I might be able
to use your office.

Its Saturday and no
one is working.

I just need
a telephone.

If you want to go upstairs,
there's a phone up there.

You just need to push
the button and call the number.

Yes, Milan number
453314, thank you.

Let me speak with
my secretary.

Its not important,
they freed up the line.

Its me.

You need to call my
lawyer, Sart�a.

I had a car
accident.

Who?

Ah, they called from
the hospital.

No, she stayed
by herself.

Now, I'm at the
grocery offices.

Which lawyer?

Why?

I see.

Tell him to call me here,
at extension 412.

One other thing.

Call Frankfurt and tell
Mr. Friedman

what happend.

and that I'll call
him later tonight

or at the latest tomorrow
morning. Bye.

Its me.

Go ahead.

I'm Zanelli, calling from
the offices of Sartia,

sorry I couldn't
reach you sooner.

Yes, I spoke with my secretary
and she explained everything to me.

Above all I need to
know where the car is,

because the carabinieri need to
take a look at it.

But there's nothing on the car,

no dents or scratches,
nothing.

�These are just formalities.
�I didn't even know I hit him.

Don't worry,
I'll be there soon

and we will talk
about it calmly.

Fine.

In the mean time can I tell the
carbinieri that your car is there?

Yes, it here. In front of
the entrance to the building.

Bye.

Hello, I am the
lawyer Zanelli.

Soon the carabinieri will
be here to examine the vehicle.

Don't show yourself,
or they will want to interrogate you.

It'll be better to do that after we
speak with Sartia.

In these cases its worth it to
think about what you need to say.

Please, wait here.

Should we take pictures
of the car?

especially the left side, the one
that protrudes.

-It could be useful
�I agree.

Hi.

How's it going?

There's nothing to see.

But the car will remain
under our provision.

Certainly, officer.

We'll pick it up
in a while.

�Fine. see you soon.
�See you soon.

Excuse me.

Oh, go ahead.

I wanted to tell you that in about
fifteen minutes...

I'm leaving,
heading home.

That's my schedule.

The thing is

I still need to receive
some phone calls.

What can we do?

No one will be here?

The night watchman,
and thats it.

Its only that I am responsible
for the building...

The buildings are supposed
to be closed today...

The problem is I gave
everyone this number.

And if I call one

of the bosses...

I wouldn't know.

They know me.

I could even call the
company president,

Mr. Alberto

We are friends, its
just that...

this morning he told me
he would be headed to Tuscany.

and I don't want
to disturb him there.

Well then...

Listen, here's what we'll do

Tell the president

that I did
my duty

and that you assume
responsibility.

Yeah, Don't worry
about that.

I'll also include
you've been very kind.

You know, I have
my orders

and I can't tell if
someone is...

if I don't know them.
�You're right.

If you want coffee. there's a machine back
there. You just need to put 50 lira in.

Yes, thank you.
I'll get some.

If you want to be more comfortable...,
come, Let me show you.

There's a small
lounge here.

�Make yourself comfortable.
�Thanks.

You can rest...

If you put the two chairs together
you can even put your feet up.

The employees do this
during breaks.

�And the telephone?
�Its over here.

Over here, you just need to
push zero to access an external line.

If someone calls

If someone calls to the other lines. I'll
tell the watchman to transfer them here.

Great.

Well,

Good night.
�Good night.

Please, make sure you tell him...

I certainly will.

Is it dad?

You really do
have beautiful eyes.

I admit, its
unconventional.

There are some preludes I
just can't stand.

Are you always
like this?

What do you mean?

So decisive.

I just get annoyed by all
your assurances.

And now?

By now you know
that since we're here

we both want
the same thing.

The difference between
me and you

is that now we
have different aspects.

I had the idea and fear that
I was at my last moments.

Its incredible how many things
you think in those moments.

Many things, together,
in such a small period of time.

Everyhting
comes back.

Even my childhood.

You see

moments of a forgotten life,
that were not remembered.

Faces of people

already forgotten.

Its a feeling of regret for

things that have been clouded.

Our whole lives are present
in those moments.

to be judged
by us,

who are responsible
for the lives we lived.

No excuses or
justifications.

We are required to give
precise judgements.

Hello?

Who? My daughter?

But...

Yes, let her
come up.

�Hi.
�What are you doing here?

They called from the office.
They said you'd spend the night here

and mom sent me
with some things.

Who was it
that called?

I don't know,

They spoke with mom.

Damn idiots!

I wonder who authorized it.

And who said I was
spending the night here?

The lawyer, I think.

�Nothing happend.
�Why don't you call Mom?

She'll feel better
if you do.

But nothing
happend!

Go, look at my car
and see what it looks like.

Its as if some big
scandal happend!

What do these idiots think
they are doing?

Instead of calling
the house why didn't

they come here to
see how things are?

Mr. Zanelli.
Yes, its me.

I wanted to know if you've
seen Sart�a?

I understand. Do they know the
details of the injured man?

No. Not to me.

Why? Is it serious?

Yes. I see.

Fine. Thank you.

Good night.

Can you connect me
to the hospital?

Yes. That's
kind of you.

Hello, Miss

I want to speak with the
doctor working emergencies.

He's not here.
He's left.

I'll put you on with his colleague,
Doctor Mancinelli.

�Who are you?
�I am Zanelli, a lawyer.

I just wanted to know about
someone there,

a worker

brought in by
my client.

yes, 34

He passed away an
hour ago.

Hello?

Hello?

If I could at least understand
how it happend!

Its unbelievable.

No one was there,
I saw no one.

Its just an accident.

They happen everyday.

But it always seems impossible
that it can happen to us.

It could happen to
any of us.

Afterwards, you can't
understand anything.

How to live,
how to behave.

Only when something
terrible happens,

then,

well,

Dad.

Hello?

Mr Sart�a is here
at the entrance.

Tell him I'm
coming down.

�Hello.
�Hello.

I don't know what you thought last
night when I couldn't come.

I'll tell you,

I did it on purpose.

Its best in these cases if
your first contact is

a local. You get what
I'm saying?

With me not coming, I forced
Mr. Zanelli to take care of it.

Hello.

�Hello.
� We'll meet over here.

�Hello.
�Hi.

Go ahead, miss.

Make yourself comfortable.

Do you want anything?
Coffee?

�Yes, thanks.
�And you, miss?

A coffee is fine.

Can I freshen up
a bit?

And maybe
shave too.

�Would an electric shaver be fine?
�Great, thanks.

I'll go request these items.

Ok, let's see

I'm sorry, but regarding
the certificate

on the cause
of death

there was nothing
I could do.

Unfortunately, the results
clearly indicate

his breathing problems were
caused by the injuries sustained.

But then

we have the carbainieri
interrogations:

the lady who
was with you,

the worker friend
of the person hit,

and someone else
there by chance.

Yes, but that
wasn't very clear.

Practically speaking,

another worker said he
was about to hit them

because there were
no men at work signs up.

But we were saying before, this testimony
might do more damage to our case.

From the perspective that the workers
were walking and not working,

signs don't mean much
especially in cases of death.

Signs or no signs

if the street does not
provide good visibility.

one needs to maintain a pace
that permits them to stop

before an unforeseen
obstacle.

See,

the law follows this
line of reasoning.

Let's suppose you are traveling
on a country road,

and you find the Milan Cathedral
in front of you. What do you do?

Do you ask how its there
and run over it,

or do you stop and
maybe then ask questions?

As you see

this line of reasoning
is impeccable.

�But I didn't see anything
�For the love of God!

Don't say anything like
that at the deposition!

You saw everything, the
cart and the workers.

You honked your horn, and made
way for someone to pass you

and you then saw
that no one was coming.

The only thing you
can't explain

is how the accident
happend.

And this is a question we
will attempt to resolve.

The other thing is the
cart was barely hit.

But with everything else,
even the photos don't help much.

There are
already pictures?

�Can I see them?
�Go ahead.

There's something I'd
like to see.

But at the disposition
don't say anything about the photos.

Excuse me.
Hello..

Thank you.

�Is this ok?
�Yeah, I'll take care of it.

Have a
good day.

�Two miss?
�Thank you.

�Here. I haven't mixed it yet.
�Thanks.

�And you?
�No sugar please.

�You like bitter coffee?
�I can't have sugar

I shouldn't even
have coffee

but if you give
everything up...

I honked.

No one came from the
other side

so I decided to
go forward

At a certain point
while I was passing the cart

I heard something strike,
like a stone hitting the car.

I did not think I had hit
the cart,

Neither did the lady
who was with me.

She even said: "A tire must have
run over a rock".

Then you did not
realize you hit the cart.

No.

Why did you stop?

Because, more than anything
because of my scruples.

I didn't even look
back at the cart.

That didn't even
occur to me.

I just looked at
the car and that's all.

You didn't look down the street
to see if there was anything unusual?

Or you didn't ask yourself:
"Where did that cart I just passed

and those men go?"

To tell the truth, the street
at that point curves,

and where we stopped, you
couldn't see the cart anymore,

Its true, I went
back to make sure.

There was a doubt
that you hit something?

No, just out of
curiosity.

So, you can't say how your car
hit the cart?

Truthfully, no.

Truthfully, certainly:
that's what we're here for.

Ok, write:

Question:

According to you,

how did the accident
happen with the cart?

�Hello.
�Hello.

Hi.

How are you?

What did they say?

�Who?
�Up in Frankfurt.

They were upset.

They were upset.
That's something.

Its your wife.

Tell her I'll
head home soon.

Dear!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry.

Where's our daughter?

She's at school.

�Have you eaten?
�No.

�Eat something, something hot.
�Its not important.

I'll make something
for you.

Sit a while.

Do you need to go
back to the office?

No, I'll be here today.

Listen, Costa.
Here is the lawyer from Milan,

regarding Stucchi's
accident.

We don't want to talk about
whose fault it was,

its, a tragedy, but we'll talk
about responsibilites afterwards.

What I want to
know is

what kind of guy was he,
what did he do?

Becuase I knew him,
but not very well.

But you guys worked together,
went and had fun together.

Yes, but he wasn't
one of our company.

Fine, but you guys
used to see each other?

Every now and then.

For example,

if I asked you

What kind of life
did Stucchi lead?

I know he
worked during the day...

also he was made invalid

during the war.

I was saying:
He worked often

and then did he go home
and work in the garden?

or did he head
over to the bar?

He didn't have
a garden.

Ok, well,

Is it possible that

at times he would return
home a bit "cheerful".

Yeah, that happend often.
You know how those old guys are.

But,

he didn't bring that
much money home, right?

I also know he
upset his wife some,

to the point that
someone said

for her this incident
has brought freedom.

Maybe.

That's fine.

You, Miss,

are basically the only
witness to the accident

besides the worker's
colleague

who is on the
side of the victim.

So, we need to put a lot of
trust in you.

Anything I can do...

At the moment
of the accident

when you went back with the
car to carry the wounded man,

you will have noticed that
that turned over cart

was a few meters away
from a passage

that went from the asphalted street
into the fields at the side.

I didn't really notice.
In moments like that...

I understand.
You are definitely right,

It's only that I thought

while the others were
busy carring the injured man,

you may have noticed this
passage to the fields.

even if, only
for an instant

you would have wondered

if that passage led
to a farmhouse

where the wounded man
could get care,

and regarding the rest, you couldn't take
it all in because you were all so worried.

But the most importnat
thing, miss,

just at this point,
above all you,

who I imagine was
wearing high heels,

�No, boots.
�Same thing.

You will have felt below
your feet

small fragments
of glass

spread on the
asphalt.

that, because of the cold,
hardend and

were like stones.

Yes, the blow we heard from the
car seemed like it was from a stone.

like when a tire
hits a stone...

Yes, but this isn't relvant
to what we're talking about.

that's something
else.

But rather miss, its
important

that at the trial you
remember

of the passage leading
to the fields

and of what you felt
under your feet

walking on the asphalt
covered by these

small pieces of glass.

Is that fine?
�That's fine.

Its more than a month
since I've seen you.

You don't want to know
what I've been up to?

It wouldn't make
you happy to know?

If you want... I am
a curious guy.

Well, there wasn't a lot of work,
the agency didn't call,

and I had a little
vacation.

I went to the
mountains, by myself.

Why are you telling me this?
I didn't ask you anything.

Fine, we won't talk about it.

- Why did you let your beard grow?
- To change things up.

You look better this way.

-Still eat alone?
-Yeah.

�You?
�Me too.

�I can invite you to lunch.
�Sure.

�Here you are.
�Thanks.

You're welcome.

Why didn't we go
up to your attic? It was nice.

Do you still have some fine
wine to offer your friends?

The wine's gone

And there's no
attic anymore.

How come?

I gave it to
my friends.

What a shame,
I wanted to go back.

I'll never
put this stuff out.

Its been more than a month
since the new occupants complanied.

Why did you give up
the attic?

I didn't need
it anymore.

You stopped
painting?

It seems old fashioned to me
to paint if I want to say something.

Even publicity adds "say
somethhing. "

At least they
get something back.

You were right:
like this its a mess.

and they are still the same walls.

Its the walls that
get revenge.

And whats this stuff?

"Beat" saints

Stuff to sell

An idea of the
new tenants.

No one wants them
as saints anymore.

But they sell well
as boutique items.

As you see the painters continue to
paint saints

still for money.

Yes

Well, I didn't expect
this call

especially at this time.

Yes I was
sleeping.

These are the benefits of those
who don't work that much, like me.

Tonight?

No.

Yeah, my normal routine.

No, tomorrow's
not good either.

If you have something
to say I'll listen.

I see.

Fine. We're on
at 2..

Enough time for
a coffee.

Well?

Last night,

with that guy,

Why him?

Does it bug you that he's
one of your employees

or is it jealousy?

Neither one.

I just wanted to know
if it was something serious.

If it was would
it bother you?

No, the
opposite.

I'd hope it was someone
who really loved you.

and not like

just for fun.

Like with you?

What do
you know?

You only wanted to
judge me, criticize me,

maybe you didn't
understand anything.

It didn't stop because I
was tired of you,

I wanted you to
know that.

Its over because it
needs to be over.

Its the last time.

I'd get rid of that one, in the back,
that makes a lot of detergent.

The white-blue combination doesn't
work. Pull it off.

Those other two
nearby as well.

�Which?
�Those.

In my opinon those
look like

they're frozen
items.

Well, we need to get rid of
something, take them off too.

Mr. Sart�a called. He'd
like you to call him back.

I'd like to see those
two in the back.

�Those?
�Yes.

One second,
I'd like to say something.

Besides the fact that
the first is

meat in a box, beef

and we don't want to
sell beef in a box

this is even fish heads
and I'd eliminate it.

I was looking for you to
tell you somehting very important.

And what about these?

I think they're
a bit too colorful.

They're vaguely
"beat. "

Some news?

The processing date has
been scheduled.

And those two?
What about them?

Yes.

Very interesting.

But they look like
"old America. '

Take those off.

�And when will it be?
�In 12 days, at the end of the month.

Of these three I'd get
rid of the last one,

which I think is the
least effective

and I'd leave

these two as options
for the client.

I think they're
both interesting.

In our position,
if the trial turns out bad,

in a worst
case scenario

what kind of
consequences am I looking at?

The worst would
be three years.

but it hardly ever
is applied

At this point we need to bring
some changes to the spread

Like what?

Change the boxes
with those choices

and also the
pictures.

I agree but the
client will understand

We can't hope the client
will understand our intentions.

So, we need to
redo everything over?

Slow down, redo
means what?

�Everything.
�And how long would that take?

How long?

Between one thing and
another we'd need 15 days.

What do you mean 15 days? We have
a commitment with a client to respect.

Let's not worry about this.
This campaign is important.

What do you mean don't worry? And I'm
the one who will have to take care of it.

I'm saying I'll take
care of it this time.

I want to know where
you are

and if in the meantime
they're have been any problems.

No, no problems.

just certain elements of the campaign
need to be made clearer.

I imagine this means you will
be later than the scheduled date.

At the most,
three weeks.

Is the client fine
with that?

The client will definitely
be fine with that.

Its in their
best interests.

And have you resolved the
affair with the accident yet?

Not yet.

But the trial date has
been set.

I hope both dates
conincide.

What do
you mean?

Once your case
is resolved

these little details of the
grocery campaign will be taken care of.

Do you get what I mean?

I understand. And thank you
for wishing me well.

How's it going?

Fine.

I wanted to come and
see some people.

The weather's nice now

and we took
advantage of it.

You have come back to
the city? Your wife too?

Yes, a couple of days ago.

I came down to
check on things,

and then we stayed.

How are you now?

Well.

Health,

I can't complain.

Its only that

I am terribly bored.

The problem is

that when a man
like me

has worked his
entire life

he's not able to
do anything else.

And how are things
going here?

Fine, we're finishing up
that campaign,

that new
food product.

At any rate,
I don't know

what to decide

Maybe later

if I really need
to stop myself...

Yes?

Why are you still awake?

I was putting some
things in order,

I'm coming now.

You know you need
to get up early tomorrow

try and rest, at
least a little.

Yes, I know.

Don't think about
it now.

Tomorrow will go fine.

�You know what I was thinking about?
�What?

If by tomorrow night

everything is worked out

I'll come home and
let's leave.

We'll go to Tuscany for a few days,
all three of us.

The house will still
be a mess.

Who knows how the
workers left it.

We'll make it work
some how.

The most important thing
is to be together a while

without having to long for
the day until I retire.

This way, before having to go
back to work

I'll have enjoyed some
time with my family.

I feel a little guilty with the effects
this has had on the two of you.

What are you
talking about?

For all the ideas
and worries,

that I caused.

I need to make you
forget many things.

Really, Elena.

The people we
love the most

we show our worst sides to

so they can
forgive us.

An apparently absurd accident,
that in the decleration

of the accused
and witnesses

holds no rational
explanation.

The few details
available

to us do not provide
a definite cause,

an evident solution.

But every incident has
a definite cause.

I think if we look at
the available evidence,

taking into consideration
every last detail,

we can reconstruct
with precision

the dynamic
of the accident.

A very important detail:
the condition of the street.

As you clearly see
in the pictures,

and from everything that has
been confirmed by the witnesses,

a few steps before where
the cart was found

right after the accident,

and presumably in
the exact spot

where contact
took place

a passage exists

for tractors from the road
to enter the fields.

After the clearing of the road, the snow

accumulated at the sides of the road

obstructed entrance to
this passage.

Of course, that would be
no problem for the tractors,

but the wheels of these tractors
coming in from the fields

dragged snow onto the asphalt.

The intense cold in
those days

transformed the snow

into small
blocks of ice.

compacted just
like stones.

How much space was there

between the car and
and the cart

during the
lane pass?

So,

when the two vehicles were
at each other's side

how much space
was between them?

The law allows a reasonable
amount of space

of at least 80 centimeters.

Let's say that for a usual lane passing
there needs to be at least a meter.

So how did
contact occur?

Try to imagine

what would happen if one
of those blocks of ice

was found underneath
one of the wheels of the cart.

And this is a two wheeled device,
not four

what would happen if we
block off one of the wheels?

And the other one, the free one,
proceeds in movement

turning the cart
on its side.

If now we consider
the distance

from the wheel to the
top of the shaft of the cart

thats more than two meters.

And if we measure
the displacement

caused by the wheel,

which has hit back where the
opposite side of the cart was,

onto the shafts

we can contest

that the displacement has
easily been more than a meter.

That prudent meter

that the accused
instinctly calculated

to pass with absolute ease.

It happend then that the point

of the shaft

hit the moving car

causing a forcefu
skid to the cart.

And then the shaft
itself

hit the chest of the
man who pulled it.

Every incident

always has a definite cause.

But even with this we cannot
forget the fatality,

the tragedy

�Mama, its Silvia.
�Fine.

Hi.

I'm going then, bye.

Have fun. Tell your
mom I said hi..

�When are you coming by?
�One of these nights.

The top of the dam's arc
is 690 meters.

The lowest point of the
foundations is 143 meters.

The rope at the
top: 538 meters.

The range of the blinker
on top: 178 meters.

The thickness at the base
is 28 meters.

At the top:, 16'50.

A wood model,
at the scale 1:66,

serves as the mould...

Are you upset
Doriana went out??

No, its good.
Kids have friends.

And we remain here,
alone, like two old people

watching tv.

Silvia told me her parents
want to see us.

Should we invite them
to dinner one night?

Yeah, that'd be great.

Now everything should go
back to normal, like before.

Now the trials,
the trial of the weight,

the trial of the
hydrostatic push.

In this manner, the lines extract that
represent the state of maximum stimulus

The wholes can reach a width
of 8 centimeters

and weigh 30 kilos a meter.

The cables can transport
50 tons.

One Fine Day
