THE GIRL FROM TRIESTE

In the water, quickly! Quickly!

She's sinking! Hurry up!

Look at this one!

She doesn't know how to swim and she goes offshore.

Nothing surprises me anymore, Tony.

Let's see if they can revive her.

Tony, give her something to drink.

- Can we leave you? - Yes thanks.

You know you were lucky?

Oh really?

Drink, it will do you good.

- Give us a drink. - There you go.

Where are your clothes?

The sea must have carried them away.

Give me another one.

Thanks.

Give me another.

I'll go, give me my lobster.

Here. Have a good day.

Are you leaving already?

- You were afraid? - No, actually.

It was very beautiful.

Really?

Yes. Especially when they saved me.

It was extraordinary.

I felt loved.

I felt it.

Hi, Tony.

Goodbye, Mr. Dino.

If you don't bring me back my blanket, I'll notify the police.

Hi.

I was told you lived around here.

It's your house?

Pretty.

Yes, I like it too.

Those are my drawings!

You threw them away, remember. They are mine now.

I remember you.

Tell me one thing.

What exactly do you want from me?

Can I come into your house for a moment?

Of course.

Will you carry this for me?

- Can you manage? - Yes.

- It's beautiful here. - I am not complaining.

My name is Nicole.

Are you French?

My mother is French.

Dad met her in Paris. Very romantic.

Nicole what?

I know what your name is. Dino, Dino Romani.

That's it.

Do you make comics? Like Charlie Brown?

Charlie Brown is a character. The designer is Schuz.

Are you as famous as him?

But your drawings are beautiful.

It's true.

That's enough for me.

So?

What do you want?

Give you back your blanket.

That's all?

Don't you want to make love?

I love making love.

Stay with me.

I like caresses after love.

Are you thirsty?

I'll be right back.

Health.

Who is she?

Beauty.

Beauty, Nicole.

Enchanted.

But Beauty, you don't have a face?

She is being born.

A magnificent body.

She has no taboos.

I would like her to be a bit of a symbol of innocence.

Provocative, but without knowing it.

Like me?

I said without knowing it.

You think you see right through me?

It's not very difficult.

You know,

I pretended to drown earlier.

I know how to swim very well.

And play the comedy very well.

You making me fun of me?

You do this to distract yourself?

I'm doing tests.

Tests?

That of drowning, like today.

Or I lie down on the road, as if I had been knocked down.

Or I fake suicide, with a little sleeping pill.

And if someone comes to save me, then...

I feel loved.

And I find my identity again.

Your identity?

Proof that the world knows I exist.

- Why this look? - I wish she had your face.

Who? Beauty?

I would like you to pose for me.

- Half an hour would be enough. - Why not.

I have nothing to wear.

I have a wardrobe full of women's clothes. Choose something.

Your wife's?

I'm not married.

Tony had already told me that. I asked him a bunch of questions.

It's better to close the door.

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, sorry.

What is happening?

Excuse me.

Why did you want to close the door?

I want a man who also loves me when I pee.

Whose clothes are these?

Never mind.

Tony told me you lived alone.

- And that you leave soon. - Tony talks too much.

Is it true that you're leaving?

In a few weeks.

You don't like people, do you?

In small doses. The fewer the better.

For me, it's quite the opposite.

I hate loneliness.

Each his own.

Exactly.

And where do you live?

In an old villa near San Justo.

There is a garden with Greek columns.

And a big magnificent tree in front.

And an army of servants.

A cook,

a butler and four maids.

Well, you must be extremely rich.

I have everything I could want.

And even more!

Okay, I'm going to prepare something to eat.

We'll start as soon as you're ready.

You ready?

Good morning.

Do you remember the girl who was saved the other day?

- Do you know where I can find her? - I don't know who she is.

Surely one of those lost people, one day here, the other elsewhere...

It doesn't matter. Thank you anyway.

It's immediately on the right, at the end of the square.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

I didn't find you. Where are you? Nicole.

I wasn't expecting you, my darling!

- I should have warned. - It's nothing.

But I have an appointment this evening.

Come with me, it's Les Stanui's, remember?

Annoying but harmless.

No, that doesn't mean anything to me. I just want to sleep.

You are at home, you know it.

But eat something, promise?

Promised.

Bye, darling.

Have fun.

I will be back before midnight.

Hello?

Don't you have anything to say?

What is your real first name?

I found a bracelet with the initials ''R d C''.

R, what is that for? Rosa? Rita? Renata?

So you don't want to talk to me?

Can I come in?

- For what? - To return the dress.

- Where is it? - What?

The dress.

I forgot it.

You had forgotten something else.

''R d C''.

What are you laughing at ?

''R d C'' is the name of the merchant. My name is not Renata,

- but Nicole. - So it was you on the phone?

- When did you take them? - While you were sleeping.

They are beautiful.

It's you who is beautiful.

On this one, I must have had a horrible nightmare.

I don't like it.

I look dead.

- You were sleeping. - Dead, I'll be like that.

Tear it.

Tear it up, please.

Tear it up, I tell you!

You're a strange girl, Nicole.

Do you also have a last name?

Perhaps.

But I don't remember it.

I bet you don't believe me.

Exactly, I don't believe you.

Yet it is true.

There are so many things I don't remember.

When we don't love ourselves, we try to forget ourselves.

Don't you love yourself? I think you're tremendous!

Because if I want, I can seduce you.

I dressed like a real lady.

Tonight I want to go out with you.

I don't know how to say no to a real lady.

I want to tell you something.

What ?

The villa you told me about needs work.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

It doesn't matter to me...

I don't mind if you don't tell me anything about yourself,

but don't lie to me anymore.

It was not a lie, but a fantasy.

You don't like that?

Like the one about your father?

- The diplomat? - I didn't know my father.

This place bores me.

We're suffocating here.

You having fun?

Why? I'm not doing anything wrong.

No. You're fanciful, I know.

- Shall we go? - If that is your wish.

Giustino?

Sir?

The lady... is no longer hungry.

Another time, perhaps.

Of course, sir. Thanks.

Madam, your shoes.

- Good evening. - Bye.

You've seen how difficult I am.

You're right, I'm still shaking.

You prepared that little stunt, huh?

I never plan what I will do from one minute to the next.

No need to search.

If they arrest you, you don't have your papers?

I never have them on me.

- A relative of yours? - Who?

Giuliano Tomits.

What is wrong with you?

- You look like you're from the police! - Come on, calm down.

Give me a cigarette.

Is he your brother?

I don't have any brothers or sisters, if you want to know.

- Your husband? - I am not married.

- But I will be in a month. - Congratulations.

Now you know why I behave like this.

Who is it then?

His name is Michele.

I met him at university.

- At university? - That's right.

I am studying English literature, I am preparing my thesis.

I also have a job, for your information: archivist.

And then there is Francesca who studies architecture.

Who?

- Francesca. - Who's she?

She's Michele's old girlfriend. She still loves him.

- The three of us live together. - If that suits you...

You didn't believe a word I said?

- I should ? - Why not ?

But anyway... if you are in love with Michele,

what are you doing with me?

I didn't say I was in love with Michele.

I said I was marrying him.

Really?

- He knows you don't love him? - Of course.

Why doesn't he marry Francesca? She loves him.

- Because he loves me. - But you don't love him.

It is you that I love!

You're funny when you sleep.

I wanted to know your reaction to seeing that I had disappeared.

I was wondering if you would look for me.

I love you. Nicole.

If you come, wait for me, please.

The door is open.

Tomits? She is here.

- Where? - On the first floor.

- Should I take this staircase? - Yes. The last door on the right.

Excuse me?

- I'm looking for Miss Tomits. - You found her.

Nicole Tomits.

No, Francesca Tomits.

Who is Giuliano Tomits?

He's my father.

It's getting complicated.

You need to look for my friend, Nicole Roselli.

She's a big liar!

You don't live with her and someone named Michele?

- That was two years ago. - Where does she live?

I lent her my car three months ago, I haven't seen her again.

Nicole is like that.

Yes, I noticed.

She told me she was marrying Michele.

Michele?

But it's me who's marrying him.

You're marrying him?

She took you for a ride, didn't she?

It looks like it to me.

It's ridiculous.

Do you know where she might be?

I know the name of a lady, one of her friends.

I'll try there.

It's incredible, isn't it?

We are good friends, yet I know very little about her.

But you know Nicole, she is mysterious.

She comes, she goes, she's here, she's there.

Can't you help me?

A telephone, an address?

- A name? - I can't do anything for you.

Imagine that I don't even remember anymore

where I met her.

Well...

I've disturbed you long enough.

You didn't disturbed me at all.

If you ever see her...

- I will tell her that you are looking for her. - Thank you so much.

Surprised? Have you forgotten me?

Val... I didn't see your car.

It's out back, I'm discreet.

Is her name Nicole?

She is very pretty.

Are you taking them from the cradle now?

As if you didn't know!

Doesn't it bother you that I still use your house?

How are you, Valeria?

I manage.

You have too much heart.

You deserve to meet a man who knows how to appreciate you.

I'll consider looking for one, thanks.

I forgot to tell you...

I lent Nicole one of your dresses.

- Was she completely naked? - That wouldn't have been surprising!

I thought I was bored,

but with her, I go from surprise to surprise.

Did she hook you?

The roles are reversed, it will do you good!

I never could hide anything from you.

Isn't that so?

What progress has this made for me?

So it's not all over between us?

It is you who are mysterious.

I found a friend who is very dear to me.

Excuse me.

Where are the keys to your car?

In the ignition.

I was alone again.

I ran away, had a drink in a square,

I stayed, bare legs, raised,

waiting to be noticed.

I felt better, less alone.

They will remember me, I exist.

Those pigs looking at me, I felt their desire...

They needed me, they loved me in a way.

So are you there? Where have you been

all day?

Professor Marin was looking for you.

You can still see him, he is in his office.

Come in.

So?

We have already talked about it often.

Listen to me.

It is not by attracting attention that you will solve

- your problems, your loneliness. - What is the solution?

In any case, don't go to a square to show off...

- Do not show off... - Show off my pussy?

Why don't you say it?

You are a doctor, you don't have to be afraid of words.

It's not the words that scare me,

but the use we make of them.

Why don't you go back and see the man you told me about?

I changed my mind.

Why?

Because he's a liar!

You are unfair. You didn't tell him...

I won't tell him anything.

I don't want him to ever know.

You should stop going out for a while.

Let's say a week.

Do you want to punish me?

No, I'm just asking you

a small sacrifice.

You need to help me.

I need it to heal you.

You want to heal, don't you?

More than that.

You haven't seen her again?

No sign of her.

I do not believe you.

Tell me, why are you putting so much effort into this?

Into what?

This search for Nicole.

Is it worth it?

You know where she is, don't you?

How wrong you are!

Why not tell me the truth?

What are you hiding from me?

Nicole is a whore? A call girl?

Please, Mr. Romani. You are being vulgar.

And what are you? A saint?

Where is Nicole?

It's better that you leave, you're drunk.

That's the least of my worries.

Good evening.

I lied so much.

I told him I was marrying Michele.

I'm really crazy.

But I really like it.

This is the first time I've experienced this feeling.

It is for him that I want to heal.

I don't want to hurt him.

We made a pact.

I'll just go out for a few hours.

I can't stay like this, I have to see him,

to explain to him, at least.

Afterwards, will you let yourself be treated?

I promise.

You know that I want to heal.

And you will recover.

You think that someone who knows nothing about me

can anyone suspect that I have a sick mind?

Your mind is magnificent.

Wait, damn it!

Where were you going like that?

I couldn't find your house anymore.

You're here now.

You came back.

Did you miss me a little?

I was looking for you.

Where?

I've been everywhere, Miss Roselli.

- Who told you my name? - A certain Francesca,

who is going to marry a certain Michele.

Have you met him?

No.

What else did she say?

Not much.

No more than your friend Clara.

Lots of words, zero information.

Get dressed.

For what?

Get dressed and you'll find out.

Where are we going?

Did you want to know where I live? I'll show it to you.

Come in.

This is where I live.

This is my house. If you want to find me...

I will know where to look for you.

End of the mystery.

Do you live alone here?

The housekeeper is ill.

So you live alone?

My mother is in London.

I'm going to see her tomorrow.

I will stay there for a month.

A month?

This will be the last time.

Then we will never separate again.

I'll be back in a month.

I promise.

No more running away.

I want to live with you forever.

Because I love you.

If you want me...

Of course I want you.

What are we doing, my love?

Are we going to a restaurant?

Or to bed?

I have too much to do.

Very well.

Tomorrow, I'll take you to the airport.

No, please, I hate goodbyes.

Don't complicate everything. Leave now.

Let's pretend we'll see each other tomorrow.

I don't know how to pretend, but I'll try.

Good. I will write to you every day.

I swear to you.

I will miss you, Nicole.

A lot.

London, May 27.

My love, I barely arrived and I already miss you.

From my window, I see Hyde Park.

It's a very beautiful day.

But you're not here

and I'm sad.

Send one every day.

I numbered them, stuck the stamps on top.

Okay, I will.

Talk about a breakup!

- Are you getting married in London? - No here, it's easier.

- We got married yesterday. - Oh really?

- All my best wishes. - Thanks.

- I hope everything goes well. - Me too.

''I wish I didn't exist!''

''I would like to be one of your drawings!''

Give it here! It was me who found it! I want to read it.

''My life is going to change.''

''It's the first time I've been in love.''

Give it to me!

''I would like to be one of his drawings!''

Give it to me!

You want it ?

Give it to me!

Close the door!

I understood that I could no longer live without you.

When you're not there, I don't have a taste for anything.

I would lose my mind if I didn't know

that you exist and that you are waiting for me.

Because you're waiting for me, aren't you?

Hold her tight.

Come on, my dear, have courage.

Glucose.

We're going to bring her out of the coma.

I wish these days were shorter.

Don't be mad at me, I won't give you my address.

This is so as not to tempt you to join me.

This separation is a test.

I want you to be sure you want to live with me.

How sure I am of wanting to spend my whole life with you.

Do you love me? I love you. Nicole.

Don't worry, Clara.

Her condition is improving, believe me.

But if I came to see her...

- It's too early. - Will you notify me?

Of course.

Kiss Nicole for me.

Some people cannot face reality.

Everything hurts them.

Nicole is one of them.

Exacerbated sensitivity.

- What does she have? - What does that change?

If I told you she was manic-depressive,

or schizophrenic or simply neurotic,

that's not the important thing.

She is in a coma

under control.

We take her out of the coma, then we plunge her back into it,

we wake her up again, and we plunge her back into it,

so on, 30 or 40 times.

We call this treatment insulin coma.

It acts on the patient's psyche.

We don't know why this stabilizes them,

but it has beneficial effects.

We hope to return to Nicole

- her balance. - Will it be long?

Difficult to say. She had made great progress,

she seemed almost cured.

We had almost decided to let her out, then...

About a month ago something happened.

You've told me enough, thank you.

- Hello? - Good morning. Dr. Marin.

Is Nicole with you?

Well, she won't be long.

She went out this morning without my permission.

Yes, I'm sure she will come to your house.

No, I didn't tell her anything.

She doesn't know that you know.

Don't ask me what to do.

That's your problem.

It's a choice you have to make.

Dino?

Go away.

Go away!

So, where are we going?

Afghanistan, China. Wherever you want.

Venice, does that suit you?

There or elsewhere...

If you don't mind, we could have stayed at your place.

Didn't you understand that I wanted to run away?

Excuse me, but I have to think.

This is how you see

this trip? You with your scotch and me doing the talking?

It would be too selfish,

- although it tempts me! - Please!

A year...

What?

Brazil.

- It's been a year. - It was enchanting.

We ate too many papayas.

- Shall we spend the afternoon here? - Do you want to make a move?

Good idea!

So let's go.

Leave it, I'll drive.

Val?

Where are we?

End of the trip.

Do you want a coffee?

No thanks.

Do you hate me?

I hate lots of things, but not you.

What can I do to thank you?

I'll send you the note.

Good luck.

London, June 13.

Dino, I don't know if I will succeed in explaining to you,

but I will try.

I met a man, Robert.

We fell in love.

It was love at first sight,

like during a summer storm.

We got married yesterday.

Robert is Canadian, we are leaving tomorrow for Montreal.

Don't try to find me. Remember me,

and please don't hate me. Farewell. Nicole.

How long have you known?

How long?

When you came to my house, I hid.

I know. I understood it.

Poor Dino...

Then I wanted to run away from you, I left.

With the one whose clothes I wore,

the one I surprised with you the other day.

This dirty whore.

Nicole, I love you.

It's too bad,

because I don't love you anymore.

Yes I remember.

You love Robert now, the one you married.

I lied to you.

Why?

Because I'm a liar, that's why!

Because I don't know how to tell you that I don't love you anymore.

Because you love me!

It's not true!

Listen to me.

Come live with me.

Don't tell me that, don't confuse me.

- Go away, please. - Not without you.

You must understand me.

You can't leave me alone!

You're as crazy as me.

I believe it.

But you've never seen me when I scream,

when I no longer recognize anyone,

when I have hallucinations.

I will endure it.

Sometimes... Sometimes I don't even know who I am anymore!

What made you love a girl like me?

If you want to know if it works, you have to try.

You don't know what you're saying.

Will you help me?

It's not easy.

Life is dangerous.

Just like love.

Just like love.

What time is it?

8.00, 9.00, who knows?

- Morning or evening? - I'll see.

Evening.

You hungry?

Do you want to eat here?

No need to get upset, we've already talked about it enough.

I know, you are in New York and I am in Paris...

Don't worry, I have to see Charlie tonight.

I will tell him. Bye.

Who was it?

It's not worth talking about.

It was a woman, wasn't it?

What woman?

It was for my work.

Ah, I get it.

You don't get it.

There is only one woman in my life.

And it's you.

Got it?

No, please.

Come in.

Put it there.

Should I pretend I didn't see anything?

When are you leaving Paris?

As soon as I get bored.

You have a magnificent dress.

That's why I stole it!

So this is where you are hiding!

- Hi! - Hi Charlie.

So? Do you know Danielle?

- Yes. How are you? - Well. And you?

Can't complain.

I'll join you in a moment.

- Are you staying long? - I'm leaving in three days.

London, then New York.

Should I pass on a message?

Tell them to calm down, I'll deliver on time.

- The book comes out at Christmas. - Harry told me.

Who are you looking for? A girl?

Yes my friend. She disappeared.

Claude probably took her up there to watch his documentary.

He brought it back from the Middle East. It's fantastic.

You know Claude!

Yes I know him. See you later.

Have fun.

Watch closely. It's coming up!

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

It's getting better.

Always stay close to me, and I will no longer be afraid.

I won't be afraid of anything anymore.

I wish it was just you and me.

Just the two of us.

I would like to go home.

I will stay close to you, my darling.

We're going home.

It's good to see you again! I can drive you home.

- Are you happy? - Yes, very. Very happy.

- Will there be enough room? - I think so, yes.

- Where do I put my laundry? - Wherever you want.

My home is your home.

I think I'll be very happy here.

Of course you will be.

It is only me.

- Your new tenant. - Leave it on.

- You going out? - Yes, to the beach.

- Will you color me? - Vibrant coloring.

So that my Beauty springs from the page!

I am overflowing with energy.

The coffee is on the stove, you just have to turn it on

and wait for the water to boil.

While you wait,

tidy up the kitchen a little.

Yes sir.

Go away.

Go away!

Go away!

- Come quickly! They scare me! - What ?

Drive them away, I beg you!

- Help me! - But what? There is nothing.

Cockroaches!

- Everywhere! - There are none.

- Believe me. - Make them leave.

- I beg you. - Everything is fine.

Where they are

now?

They are everywhere.

On the tiles.

Yes, I will chase them away.

My god! I have some in my hair!

They are no longer there.

Calm down, my love.

They are no longer there.

There are no more.

I still have some in my hair.

I still feel them.

But no.

There are none.

There never was.

But I felt them.

- Really. - I know...

It's over now.

You have gorgeous hair.

So long.

I hope this is only a temporary crisis.

Does she take her medication regularly?

Yes, I think so.

Well... As for your wedding,

- have you set the date? - Not yet.

Soon, I think.

It's a good idea. This marriage could help Nicole.

This could bring her some stability.

That's what I hope.

It's worth a try, right?

Yes, it is very important.

Did you tell Nicole you were coming to see me?

She was sleeping when I left. She was calm.

It's better that you be there when she wakes up.

Call me if needed.

- At any time. - Thank you, of course.

Enough! Enough!

I can't stand it anymore!

Enough!

What's the matter?

Calm down!

Stop that ringing!

- I will. Calm down.

I beg you, make it stop!

I beg you!

Make it stop!

I'm going right now.

I just know she was going to your house.

About three hours ago.

No, she was fine.

Wait, I think she's here.

Okay, I'll tell her.

It was Clara.

I didn't go to her house.

- Do you want to know where I was? - Yes.

My god...

- It's you who told me. - Me?

You said

- that it was too long. - No.

I said it was long and beautiful.

You think it's bad, don't you?

- Say it. - But not at all.

It's the element of surprise, let me get used to it.

Tell me the truth. Do you like me

like this?

I like you.

It's true.

I find you very sexy.

Really?

I swear to you.

So prove it to me.

Let's go to bed.

Don't tempt me, I have to finish Beauty first.

I'll catch up with you later, okay?

This is Planet Earth calling.

Is it you who took it? Tell me.

What?

The letter.

Which letter?

Robert's letter.

The one he sent me from London.

Robert doesn't exist.

It was you who invented him, remember.

Don't touch me.

London, September 25.

Nicole, I can't live without you.

I'll pick you up.

As soon as we are together, there will be no more winter, no rain,

neither snow nor cold.

Nothing but the sun.

Good morning.

Did you work all night?

More or less.

Were you the one who put me to bed?

You fell asleep on the couch.

How do you feel?

Marvelous.

It's sunny, it's a magnificent day.

I prayed so hard for sunshine today. It's here,

just for me.

I'm going to go and enjoy it on the beach.

I'll come with you.

Don't come.

You're tired.

You need to rest.

It doesn't matter, I want to go with you.

I must leave.

Do what you want...

Thanks, Tony.

Who would have believed that? four months ago, we spotted her,

and now...

Barely four months ago.

When you asked me if I knew her...
