Original subtitles

We all have to grow up.

Eventually.

My sister Claire, however, did not agree.

She was a normal kid, except somehow never stopped believing in magic and fairy tales.

And true love.

Which basically made her a magnet for creeps.

Yeah.

Ouch.

Luckily we were super popular.

Except not really.

I was never what you'd call a sweet child.

And Claire... Claire had problems.

But we Cunninghams always had one thing in common.

We didn't give a shit about what other people thought about us.

Farewell.

But Claire kept on dreaming.

And, as we all know, you should never dream unprotected...

Lucy Jean Cunningham.

From that moment on, Claire had one purpose.

To keep Lu cephi safe from anything and anyone... Yep, even me.

Okay,

so I know every parent lies to their kids, Santa Claus

and whatnot, but Claire took it to a whole new level.

She made sure nothing bad happened to anyone, not even the goldfish,

who mysteriously left one day for the Great Barrier Reef.

Or Dorothy, who departed suddenly to become a competitive goat herder.

Or Grandpa Peter, who stopped visiting and calling, but never stopped writing.

I don't know how much of this crap Lucy believed, but she went with it.

And they lived happily ever after.

Oh, except for one little thing.

The problem with boys is that they're idiots.

They were only ever interested in one thing.

And it wasn't Lucy.

There was one boy, though.

I called him Ears.

Lucy fell in love.

Hardcore.

But it didn't last.

Claire made it right.

In the end, they were happy.

Honestly, how many can say that?

There was no reason to do anything else.

They always had time.

Luz?

Mm-hmm?

Does my butt look big from that angle?

Huge.

Did you ever discuss her going to college?

Yeah, but she just didn't want to go.

She didn't want to go, or you didn't want her to go?

I want her to do something that she's really passionate about.

Your real life is in your dreams, anyway.

I'm sorry, what was that?

Your real life is in your dreams.

I think I read that on a coffee mug.

This is a very interesting situation.

Please give me my robe.

A man doesn't get in a situation like this every day.

I'd like to have my robe.

Not at Bedford Falls, anyway.

Oh!

Oh!

Don't hide.

George, please.

This requires a little thought here.

Give me my robe.

It's fairly far along.

Knock, knock.

Oh, hey, Claire.

Uh-oh.

Another dead goldfish?

Claire?

What happened?

Ron, what's the matter?

Jesus.

Mary, I know what I'm going to do tomorrow, and the

next day, and next year, and the year after that.

I'm shaking the dust of this crummy little town

off my feet, and I'm going to see the world.

Italy, Greece, the Parthenon, the Colosseum... Is she going to take care of us?

I don't know.

Do you have any savings?

Nothing.

Okay, um, so she's 20, she's never had a boyfriend, she's never left home,

she's never had a job.

You guys just pretend you're on a cloud?

Maybe you're supposed to be helping me out.

Watching movies?

Why don't you kiss her instead of talking to her, Des?

How's that?

Why don't you kiss her instead of talking to her, Des?

Want me to kiss her, huh?

Oh, youth is wasting on the wrong people.

Does she have any skills?

Yes.

Yes.

All she talks about is her dreams and her fantasies.

You've created kind of a fucked up situation.

Lawn mowing.

She mowed the lawn.

I think I remember that.

I think she was afraid of the lawnmower.

I'm sorry, honey.

It's not funny.

It's not funny.

I don't know what she's gonna do.

Right.

Who would hire a 20-year-old that still acts like a 13-year-old?

I wouldn't.

Claire, you pretty much fucked her.

You're gonna help her, right?

Get her into college.

What she needs is a fucking life.

The chance of a lifetime, do you hear?

The chance of a lifetime.

He says it's the chance of a lifetime.

Now, you listen to me.

I don't want any plastics.

I don't want any ground floors.

And I don't want to get married ever to anyone.

You understand that?

I want to do what I want to do.

And you're...

Do you love movies?

We sure do.

Gain hands-on experience making high-quality

VHS movies and having fun at the same time.

Experimental art house film companies seeking production assistants.

Contact producer Clive Montgomery.

Wait, wait, wait.

This is in downtown Cleveland.

How are you gonna get there, hon?

I'm gonna take the Vespa.

And you've never been on a job interview, so what are you even gonna say?

You say yes, you tell them what they want to hear.

Do you have any experience filmmaking?

No.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

I saw your ad and it intrigued me.

That's all you have to say?

Do you have any skills?

Yes.

I'm a very hard worker.

I'm highly motivated and I'm detail-oriented.

Yes.

That's true.

Can you start immediately?

No.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

I mean, it's perfect.

Hon, if you practice for a few days and then you can make an appointment.

Oh, no.

I called them.

It's today at four.

Oh, good.

I love that you're rocking the cape and the boots.

I think that's gonna fit in with what all the young kids are wearing.

You really don't have to do this, hon.

You've never been to the city by yourself.

You can wait.

It's okay.

I'll be fine.

Baby, let me see you.

Let me get it.

Oh, if you need anything, I'll be standing by the phone, okay?

I love you.

I love you, too.

Go get him, Lucy.

Bye, hon.

I'm okay.

Hey.

Don't worry, guys.

Bye.

See ya.

Do you have life insurance on her?

Oh, my God.

He makes me too happy.

That's the problem.

Can this be true?

His emotions are like fingers on my body.

She's everything I dreamed of.

There's so much he doesn't know.

How do I tell him?

It's hot in here.

It's the life I've always wanted.

Can it last?

My secrets?

Okay.

Cunningham.

Lucy.

I see you.

Let's go.

Sit.

Sit.

Okay.

So, Lucy, right?

Yes.

Good.

And I see that you are...

What the fuck?

Is this a unicorn?

Good Lord, ma'am.

And you are?

Lucy Cunningham.

Yeah.

No.

Your age, honey.

Oh, I'm 20.

Oh, terrific.

Perfect age.

Very legal.

And you've had experience making films?

Yes.

And I saw your ad and it intrigued me.

Terrific.

And who have you worked for?

My mom.

Well, I bet she's taught you a couple special little skills, hasn't she?

Yes, she has.

I'm a hard worker.

I'm highly motivated.

And I am detail-oriented.

Well, that'll serve you well in this industry.

Listen, let's talk about some career goals.

You know, places you see yourself down the road a little bit.

Well, I, um...

I love movies.

Think about maybe being in front of the camera?

Because I gotta tell you, this whole little get-up that you have here,

this little, uh, I'm in a habit and I'm pure and innocent,

all this naughty little stuff you have going, I like it.

I gotta tell you, I like it a lot.

I mean, we could play priest and nun real quick.

Yes, sir.

Let me ask you, how bad do you want this job?

I would like this job very much.

I know there are things that I have to learn, but I am willing to work very hard,

and I promise that you can take a chance on me.

I'm gonna give you a chance, Lucy.

And I trust you.

I believe in you.

I see it in you.

I think you got it, kid.

I'm gonna have you on that wall in no time.

I personally might be ready to have you start immediately.

You know what I mean?

Like, now.

Do you think you might like that?

Yes.

So why don't you go ahead and take off your habit, and then

you and I are gonna go up on the altar and sing a hymn.

Okay?

Okay.

Great.

Uh, I'll be right back.

Ladies, let me see your tits.

No, Jack, no!

Oh, terrific.

Beautiful.

Lucy.

Lucy.

Very nice.

Very nice.

I like this one.

Look at you, Pinky!

You should switch shoes.

Very nice.

Very nice.

Very nice.

Hey!

Where are you going?

Oh!

Oh!

Hello, Lucy?

Fellini?

I'm not hungry.

It's a visual reference.

It's like a memory, like a dream, you know?

That's exactly what it is.

Celebrated and controversial directors in the history of film.

Like no other director in the world.

The winner of five Oscars and more film awards than any other film director ever.

The winner is Italy for Federico Fellini.

Eight and a half.

The winner is Italy for Anne McCall.

The winner is Knights of Cabiria.

La Strada.

In the history of movies, there are a few filmmakers who have expanded our way of

seeing and completely changed the way we experience the art form.

One of them was named Federico Fellini.

He showed us the darkness that can overcome the soul and then the magic and

spiritual force that can bring you back into the light.

I'm not going to let you go!

Hey.

Hey, Mom.

I'm not that lady.

Lucy?

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm amazing.

I lost the Vespa.

What?

Did you get the job?

Uh.

Well I-Amazing.

Um.

I'm sorry.

I'm just...

I'm so tired.

It's been such a long day.

I'll be in my room!

What?

Whoa.

Before he starts a film, it is here that people of all kinds constantly drift in.

This lady, after telling Fellini he'll never make a good film if he goes on using

the same dreary old faces, reads one of her

own poems, called Is Lightning God's Signature?

How do you ask a question?

Here.

Ciao, Mr. Fellini.

Mi chiamma.

See?

Here.

Here you go.

Huge man.

For...

Monday.

Uh, Italy?

Italy.

Ciao!

Hi!

Um...

My name is Lucy Cunningham.

Do you speak English?

Si, si.

This is me, the Mario.

I'm speaking the English.

You say Americana?

Yes.

Right.

I'm so sorry.

Yes, I'm Americana.

May I please speak with Mr. Fellini?

Do you have an appointment, Lucia?

No.

Okay, good.

Allora.

Three o'clock.

Three o'clock tomorrow.

Va bene?

Okay?

Con Fellini.

Ciao, ciao.

I'm sorry.

Where?

Fellini, office a Roma.

Ciao, Lucia.

Three o'clock.

Do not be late.

Ciao, Lucia.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Did he say how long?

No.

What, like years?

Months?

No, I don't know.

Weeks?

No.

She can never know.

Ever?

Promise?

Very funny.

I'm serious.

Do you want to meet?

But you promise me you will never tell her.

Okay.

I promise.

Lucy?

One second, Carrie.

Hey.

Whoa.

You planning a trip?

Um, you know, I may have to go to Cleveland to get my best book because it

was towed and... Oh, yeah, Cleveland?

Like Cleveland that's in Italy?

No.

It's Cleveland.

Oh.

What are you watching?

Oh, uh, it's...

Nothing.

You wouldn't like it.

Are you blocking the TV?

You're not acting weird at all.

I wouldn't like it?

Me?

Moi?

Aunt Carrie?

Come on.

Yeah.

Come on.

Oh, Jesus.

Lucy.

No, no.

I like it.

I mean...

I don't like it, but...

It's kind of like... It's weird, right?

Right?

Yeah.

You like that?

Yeah.

It's a Fellini film.

They're about humanity and they're just very real.

Well, I saw the humanity in that one.

There's a lot of humanity.

He didn't hold back on humanity, huh?

They're all really...

They're all really different.

There's actually... There's a film festival.

They're screening all of Fellini's films.

It's called Tudor Fellini.

And people come from everywhere just to watch his films.

You should go tell Claire.

Um, uh, no.

It's okay.

Don't... Don't tell her, please.

What happened?

I don't... I don't think she'll... I don't think she'd want me to leave, so...

You don't think she would want you to leave?

You're 20.

You're allowed to leave.

I know that.

This is your life.

What do you want to do?

Hey, Mom.

Hey, Lucy.

Do you remember that story that I always told you about when the day you were born.

..

I said it was the best day and the worst day of my life?

The best because I knew I would never love someone so much.

And I don't.

And the worst because I knew that I would never be able to

protect you from all the lessons you had to learn in this life.

But I tried.

And I'm sorry.

And I love you so much.

But I just...

I just need...

Claire!

It's dark!

I...

Mom?

Mom, you okay?

Wait, wait, wait.

Hey, Lucy.

Is everything okay?

Everything's never okay.

It's that cold again.

I'm fine.

I'm good.

It's okay.

I'm good.

So how are these?

Tell me.

Amazing.

Yeah?

Yeah.

They're not like American movies at all.

The endings are...

really sad.

And sometimes...

nothing makes sense.

And they're kind of...

They're kind of dirty.

And there's a lot of, you know...

Um...

Sex?

Yeah.

They sound horrible.

Well...

No, I mean, but you love them and that's amazing.

It's great that you like them.

I do.

Good.

I do.

I have so many...

questions, though.

You know, I wish I could meet them.

Can you imagine?

Think about it.

Remember Summertime?

Yeah.

Catherine Hepburn?

Mm-hmm.

Phantasm?

Juliet's balcony in Verona?

They're all real places, not just movies.

And Rome.

That's where Farini is.

No.

Yes.

I think he's there right now.

No.

You have to go.

We have to go.

We have to go.

Um...

We...

We can't go.

But you can go.

Mom, it would be so much fun.

I know.

I know it's far, but I've been saving up.

I know.

I know.

I know.

And I think if I break open my piggy bank, we can have a life.

Wait.

I cannot go.

Okay?

You have to go.

On your own.

We just have to stop this.

Okay?

You need your own life.

And so do I.

I'm tired.

I... I just need to take care of myself.

I'm... I'm sorry.

You're not... No, I'm fine.

I can help you.

No, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Gary's here.

I need some time.

Okay?

Look at me.

I need some time for me.

Okay?

I need a life right now.

Okay?

I need a life.

I'm sorry.

Dan.

I don't... I don't well.

Hey.

When to find who?

... ...

... ... ...

... ... ...

...

I don't live...

or die in my dreams.

What's the worst that could happen?

Oh, I don't know.

Lost.

Robbed.

Assaulted.

Raped.

Chopped into bits.

Okay.

What the fuck is Fellini?

Fellini?

He's an Italian filmmaker.

No, he makes Italian films.

What?

What films?

No one actually watches them.

And what are they about?

It's, you know, mostly humanity.

How humanity's depraved.

A lot of orgies.

Togas.

Like asses.

Breasts.

It's like jiggling breasts.

You know art.

Pronto?

Mario?

Hi.

Uh, hello.

This is Lucy Cunningham.

Ah, l'americana, si.

Yes.

Americana.

Yes.

Um... Si.

Well, I missed my flight to Rome and I ended up in Verona.

Verona?

And I lost my bag.

They said they went to Germany or Austria or something.

So I just wanted to call and tell you that I was, that I'm on my way.

And I'm very excited.

Più in alto.

Mettilo più in alto.

Si, si, si.

Okay, Lucia, Lucia, Lucia.

What was that?

Fellini is not here.

So you missed.

Okay?

Your appointment with Fellini is missed.

So... It's not your home anymore and you have to wait.

Okay?

You have to wait, Lucia, a few days.

A few days?

Maybe a week.

You are in Verona.

Romeo and Juliet is very nice.

You know, have a gelato and look at the balcony.

Do something.

Okay.

Get busy.

Okay?

Right.

Sure.

Prenditi un bombolone.

Eat the bombolone.

It's very good.

Okay.

Yes, thank you.

Ciao, ciao, ciao.

Bye.

Ciao, ciao, ciao.

Ciao, ciao, ciao.

Posso aiutarla?

Hi.

Prego.

Queste sono tortine alla frutta.

Questi pasticcini, tortine alla crema, tiramisù, pistacchio, cioccolato.

What are those?

Balls.

Balls?

Rumbaba.

Rumballs.

Delizioso.

Would you like to taste?

Sure.

Bellissima.

Un altro?

Un altro?

Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It is said that I had the sweetest balls in Verona.

That will be 5,000 lire.

Fall in love.

Doctor said four of these a day.

Or was it these?

I'll have all of them.

Thanks.

Bye.

Oh, uh, these induce an exaggerated sense of euphoria.

I'll have it.

I'll have one of these as well.

Cheers.

Cheers to you.

Can you please, um, get another one?

You sure it's the cancer that's killing you and not these movies?

They are a bit depressing.

Then

they asked me to tell you that neorealism was dead or alive.

Neorealism, darling.

Said alive, of course.

Well, I didn't know what to say.

Ciao, bella.

What's your name?

Di sei persa.

Posso aiutarte?

Oh, poor thing.

She can't understand a word we're saying.

She is completely foreign.

Hello.

Oh, my, your English is... She's American, dear.

Oh, yes.

What brings you to Italy?

Italy.

I'm looking for someone.

Oh.

A romantic.

Are you traveling alone?

No.

I'm with my mom.

Oh.

Sylvia.

And it's Robert.

Pleasure.

Lucy.

Oh, Robbie, she's adorable.

I just... She's not a potty.

Oh, fuck off, Robert.

Why don't you... I'm just trying to create a little fun for us.

Lucy.

Would you like to come with us?

No.

No.

No.

No.

Where are you going?

Does it matter?

Oh, my God.

Let me look at you.

You're so beautiful.

Meet my new friend.

This is Lucy.

Lucy.

She's from Ohio.

Hi.

Robert.

Guido.

Hi.

This is... This is not...

There are three things I like most.

Love.

Love.

And love.

And love.

Bravo.

Bravo.

You're snapping.

A memorable performance, darling, particularly by your left breast.

I thought you were beautiful.

Of course you did.

You directed.

Oh, my God.

I don't know her.

Guido.

Have you ever actually directed anything with a face?

A lot.

Mm-hmm.

How about a love story?

Why is European cinema so obtuse, huh?

Oh, oh, and here's an idea.

Clothing.

Si, darling.

You are clearly missing the point.

Lucy, tell me.

What do you think about Italian cinema?

How would you describe it?

Hmm?

Hmm?

No, I don't know.

That's perfect.

La bella confusione.

The beautiful confusion.

Ha, ha, ha.

I don't know.

There's no lack of beautiful confusion over here.

You're not supposed to understand his films.

You're supposed to let them wash over you like a dream.

Yes, a visionary is the only true realist.

So, overblown, egotistical films that make no fucking sense.

Just to you.

He finds me.

Time to vote.

Listen, darling.

It's a song.

Ha, ha, ha.

The princess never knew what to do, to live in the night.

The lonely knight did not understand.

What's going on?

It's so weird.

Did I miss something in the plot?

There's no plot.

There's no plot, right?

So tell me, you're a boy?

A husband?

No?

Make

a slutty face for me.

Make a slutty face.

Come here.

No?

No.

No!

No!

Okay.

Life is nothing more than an illusion.

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury.

Signifying nothing.

We don't get to be such a bear.

Let's drink.

That always helps.

Cheers.

Oh, what's this?

Oh, please, please.

How cute.

Little cartoons.

Did you do all these?

They're so adorable.

They're awful.

Oh, looks like abstract realism, completely derivative.

Or you could just say bad.

Here, Lucy.

Draw me.

Draw me.

Draw me.

Draw me.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

Do you mind if I draw you a little?

I'll draw you next to the statue, it's beautiful, okay?

Okay?

I draw you.

Okay?

Great.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you... Are you hungry?

Hungry?

Eat?

Now?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

There's a bar.

There.

Okay.

Good morning.

Good morning.

For me, a cappuccino.

A cappuccino.

Two cappuccini, then.

Can we do three?

Three cappuccini.

Thank you.

Two coffees?

This one?

My mom.

She likes three sugars.

Three?

In her coffee.

Wow.

It's very sweet.

I don't like it.

Sweet.

Dolce.

Dolce.

Dolce.

La dolce vita.

You know Fellini?

Yeah.

I love Fellini.

I like Fellini.

I like Fellini.

I want to meet Fellini.

I love La Strada.

La Strada.

Gelsamina.

Zampano.

You like big men?

No.

Felicità.

Cercando quella verità.

Look here.

Look here.

Mamma mia.

No.

And most important.

Mamma fanculo.

Mamma fanculo.

My father says, Pietro, this is stupid.

And I tell him, fuck off.

And run away, crying.

But I think this is life.

Follow your dreams.

Thank you.

For showing me.

Oh.

A pleasure.

You're welcome.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Can I show you something?

Yes.

Oh.

One.

Holy shit.

Shit?

Holy.

Wow.

Oh yes.

You here?

Shh.

They might hear us.

Yes!

Die.

Scream.

What if we're going to get in trouble?

Woo.

What is that?

Come on.

No, I can't.

Ciao Fellini.

Fellini.

Come on.

Show me.

No.

Show me.

I think I see something.

Yours?

You don't want to see mine.

Oh, come on.

They're not as good.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Why is he like...

Listen.

Who watches this?

Oh my God.

Look how short their skirts are.

You can almost see their balls.

Their balls are coming out the bottom of their skirts.

Boys.

Boys.

Cover up your balls.

Can

you shut that off, please?

I'm just trying to remember what it was like in here.

When it was my bedroom?

Yes.

Posters.

What's that movie about?

Will you look it up?

So wrong.

It was like light porn.

You were pretty fun back then.

It was pretty fun, wasn't it?

I'm not so fun anymore.

Sean Cassidy.

Mark Hamill.

Mark Hamill.

Leif Gehrig.

Yes.

Who was the other Hardy boy?

Parker Stevenson.

The Bay City Rollers.

What do you think of the Bay City Rollers?

That's so hot.

Is this where you got knocked up?

I think so.

Slut.

And the charcoal.

You're a pencil person.

I am a pencil person.

The classic.

Fingers have to get dirty.

Your fingers don't have to get dirty.

It's like making love.

Your fingers are on everything.

You have to get messy.

Very messy.

Charcoal on your bed.

Charcoal on your floor.

Charcoal on your kitchen.

Charcoal on your pasta.

Why not?

That's the beauty of art.

Did you know Fellini was a cartoonist before he started making movies?

Was he?

Yeah.

And he's known for drawing on napkins.

Everywhere he is, he just draws on napkins.

And I know that he prefers pencils over charcoal.

You love Fellini?

Yeah.

Why do you love Fellini?

He's a powerful man.

I don't like Fellini in that way.

So you want to make movies?

You want to be in movies?

But Fellini makes movies.

So why?

Wait, wait, wait.

This is Lucy.

Lucy's way cuter than that.

No.

The movie that she went to see in Cleveland.

She saw something in this movie.

Ok.

Do you think she left to join the circus?

No.

No she left because I was an asshole.

Don't flatter yourself.

She's in love.

Love with who?

La vita è una combinazione tra magia e pasta.

Life is a combination of magic We have time.

We have time.

Hey, you

have a boyfriend?

You should never trust a man.

You can make love with them, but never trust them.

They'll steal your money, break your heart, push you in a river or off a cliff.

And still, you keep trusting and forgiving and loving.

No.

Understand?

They need you.

You don't need them.

Have a nice trip, Gelsomina.

Hi, Mario.

It's Lucy calling.

Americana.

I just wanted to thank you for making me stay in Verona.

It's actually been...

It's been amazing.

I know I said I was coming to Rome, but... Wait, wait, Lucia.

It's me, the Mario.

Listen, listen, listen.

You have to come to Rome, okay?

You have to come to Rome.

You take the next train and come to Rome.

It's very important.

I can't.

No, Lucia, listen to me.

Fellini wants to see you.

He does?

So you have to come to Rome and you have to do it now.

It's very important.

You put your nice patoks on the next train and you come now.

Okay.

It's very important.

Yes, okay.

There isn't much time, okay?

Okay, ciao.

Ciao, ciao.

Hey.

Where are you going?

Delhi.

I have to go to Rome.

Fellini.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Mia Fellini.

Lucia.

You're my Fellini.

Gelsomina, gelsomina, la-di-da-di.

Gelsomina, gelsomina, la-di-da-di.

Gelsomina, gelsomina, la-di-da-di.

Excuse me, where is this train going?

Mario, hi!

Hi, it's Lucy.

I don't know what happened.

I'm in Venice.

But I just wanted to let you know that I'm definitely coming...

I am sorry, it is impossible.

No, do not come.

You missed your appointment.

Capisci?

No more appointments with Il Maestro.

No, I understand, but... Mario, but you told me to come.

I told you to come last week, Lucy.

No, I understand that you're very busy, but you told me to come and I just left.

It sounds like you are the one that is more busy.

You have an appointment with Federico Fellini.

You have to understand, I... Please, shut up!

You are very sweet, but maybe a little bit stupid.

I don't have anywhere to go.

I don't have any money.

These are not my problems.

These are your problems, Lucy.

Yes, Mario, but you told me... Do not tell me what I told you!

You said you were coming and you did not come!

I know, I just came a long way.

He gave me a message for you, Lucia.

What did he say?

He said, Mario, you tell this to Lucy.

Everything you need is there, Lucia.

Sometimes you have to travel far, far away in order to find what is closest to you.

Ciao, Lucia.

This is my favorite part.

What?

I've never even seen it.

Yes, I know, it's the ending.

So good.

I'm so glad it's over.

You just don't get it.

I totally understand what Lucy was saying.

It's like this beautiful love story, but it's like art and...

What?

That's what you're getting from this?

Yes, it's so sweet.

Are you serious?

It's just a bunch of abstract images shoved together.

You're reading your own shit into it.

Well, that makes sense.

Since you're in a complete fantasy world of denial.

At all times.

Why are you being so mean?

It's just the truth.

It's just because you, you... I can't appreciate it.

You don't understand art.

I just thought we could have an honest conversation.

No, can you just please stop?

It was a piece of shit.

I'm dying and you're mean.

Okay.

Oh, okay, yeah.

Pull out the dying card.

You have this like fantastic life.

Last time you had a boyfriend.

When's the last time?

I'm sorry.

I mean, have you ever had a child?

No.

Have you been a mother?

Well, I don't think so.

I don't think you have kids.

What is wrong with you?

I take care of you and Lucy.

That's my life.

That's what I do.

Lucy is my daughter.

She's not your daughter.

Yeah, you're my kid.

You're my fucking kid.

So selfish, Claire.

Get out.

No wonder she left.

Get out of here.

Get out.

You're losing your mind.

Get out.

Get out.

Get out.

Get out.

Can't wait to get away from you.

Oh, sorry.

Excuse me.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Yes.

Need help?

Yes, I'm looking for the train station.

Oh, train station.

Okay.

Uh... Yeah.

I'll show you.

Lucy.

Lucy.

So... Lucy.

You are... an artist.

I'm sorry.

I saw your drawing earlier.

So beautiful.

You're nothing.

Forgive me.

I do not wish to threaten you.

No, thank you.

So...

Traveling alone?

Or maybe...

Boyfriend?

No, my mom.

She's actually waiting for me at the train station.

Oh, yes, of course.

I know a shortcut.

Come on.

Take my hand.

Let's go.

There's... like... a thousand ways to get to Los Invenes.

With this little canal.

We have like more than 400 bridges.

It's... It's a... It's beautiful.

I love it.

Yes.

I hear someone singing.

Do you hear someone?

So... Your...

Your mom is an artist too?

Like you?

Um... She... She draws some... Shit.

We're lost.

Joking.

This way.

No, my mom... She's a teacher.

I'm a sister.

She's a chef.

A pastry chef.

Wow.

Delicious.

And I have a brother also.

We are a big family.

This way is the train station.

Come on.

Follow me.

The train station is over here.

Oh, you want to go there?

T'erro all'ape fana che stella viene la settimana...

Ciao, ciao.

Che piace, Doro?

Ciao, ciao.

Che fai?

Vieni dopo la festa.

La festa?

È vero.

Sì, a dopo.

A dopo.

Ciao, ciao.

Fuck!

Fuck!

Cazzo!

Cazzo!

Fuck!

I forgot to tell you.

There's a party.

My friends organized a party for me.

And I have to go there.

Please.

Please.

I know.

Transition.

I know, Mom.

But please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

I start to cry.

Please come with me.

Five minutes.

Five minutes.

Can you just give me directions?

Yes.

I have to go meet my mom.

Party first and then directions.

I'm so sorry.

I can't.

I will get there by myself.

Okay.

Okay.

Forgive me.

Okay.

Listen to me.

You go straight on.

Mm-hmm.

Then you will see a bridge.

You cross the bridge and you'll see a restaurant.

No.

You go first right and you will see at the end of the street a restaurant.

Okay.

Then you go left and you cross the bridge and there's the station.

Okay?

Repeat.

Um... Focus.

I know.

It's dangerous.

Okay?

I go straight...

Right.

After you cross the bridge, there's a restaurant.

You go right, you go straight on.

After left, another bridge, straight on, station.

Okay.

Okay, thank you.

Bye, Lucia.

It was nice to meet you.

If you have some problem, scream, okay?

Okay, thank you.

Ciao, Lucia!

Ragazzi, aspettatemi!

Ragazzi!

Ciao, Placido!

Ciao, come state?

Placido!

Ciao, Placido!

Ciao!

Buonasera, ragazze!

Chi è la bella?

Lei è Lucia.

She's an artist.

Wait,

Lucia, Lucia, Lucia!

Wait, wait, wait!

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Okay, okay, okay.

Scusa, scusa.

Hey.

I'm sorry, Lucia.

What is the case?

It's simply the desire to immerse yourself in the woman you love.

Ah!

Oh!

Ah!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

Or it's okay!

No!

No!

Ah!

Ah!

No!

No!

Ah!

A little pause.

.. and we are back.

Hello?

Lucy?

Carrie!

I need to talk to Mom.

I... I know you do.

I wanted to tell you earlier.

She didn't want you to know.

Lucy, I'm so sorry.

She's gone, Lucy.

I'm sorry.

Are you there?

Lucy, don't... Don't hang up.

Buongiorno.

Americana?

Americana?

What is your name?

Lucy Cunningham.

Lucy.

Lucia.

Light.

Vepi!

Eh?

Esvete!

Dai, lasciami un lavorare.

Presentati!

Parlaci te che parli inglese, dai.

Are you here on holiday?

Visiting family?

Friends?

Why are you here?

I was...

looking for... Federico Fellini.

Federico Fellini.

Beppe!

Si, si...

Cerco Fellini!

Cerca Fellini, sua ragazza!

A il maestro...

L'illusionista.

Il mago che legge nel pensiero...

Il faro.

Lo chiamano tutti il faro.

See, they called him the Lighthouse.

Light.

Lucy.

Fellini was the maestro of illusion.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

It was a long time ago.

We were much younger, much thinner, very naked.

Lucia, everything serves a purpose.

Even that stone.

Even you.

110, near Piazza di Spagna.

Say it in English.

110 via Margutta.

Fellini's address.

In Rome.

Let's go down to Rome and he'll take us to

eat in that restaurant where we fell in love.

Hello.

Hi Mario, I just wanted to tell you that I'm coming to Rome.

No, no, no, Lucia, don't call me...

Kill him!

I'm going to bed.

Yeah.

...legend.

Italian director Federico Fellini died today after two weeks in a coma.

He was 73.

You must be, said the cat, or you wouldn't have come here.

Alice didn't think that through at all.

Oh, no.

Sorry, poor girl.

Too late.

200 years.

200 years.

200 years.

Because

if this is useless, then all are useless.

Even the steppe.
