All language subtitles for Io Sono Lamore 2009

I AM LOVE

Madam, your son told me
he is bringing a guest.

- A guest?
- Yes. A girl ...

So, we have Gratieni
and his wife here,

Betta and Gregorio ―

probably ... here.

- Between Edo and Delfina.
- Yes.

She should sit next to Edoardo.

She doesn't know anyone.

- Is Edo back?
- Not yet.

- Any news on the race?
- He came in second.

Second?

The snow, Grandpa's birthday,
Edo losing a race ...

Three events in just one day!

Maybe this year we'll
be spared Edo's dish.

What do you say, Betta?

Your sister's in a bad mood today.

- What's for breakfast?
- Thanks, Ida.

He's never this late.
He must really like this girl!

Hi, Anita.

- Good morning, Ida.
- Good morning, Edoardo.

- Good morning, Liliana.
- Good morning, Mr. Edoardo.

Here you are, my love.

- Thanks for the soup, Mama.
- I have to add some saffron.

- Who is she?
- Be nice to her, she's really shy.

Her name is Eva.

Ida is a little jealous.

Edo lost the race today.

He'll have more time
to concentrate on work.

Good morning, Madam.
Good morning, Sir.

- How are you, Ida?
- Very well, thank you. And you?

- You look well.
- Thank you.

Happy birthday.

- Good morning.
- How are you?

Very well, Madam.
And you?

We've been through happier times.

Look how they've grown.

Grandpa!

Elisabetta, how are you?

Fine.

- Nothing for me?
- Happy birthday, Grandpa.

They are here.

When did you get back?

I was a little late.

Who did you lose to today?
Gregorio?

No, to a guy I don't know.
I didn't lose, we tied.

Why didn't you challenge
the judge's ruling?

He deserved the victory.

I spoke to your brother this morning.
It's a pity you weren't there.

Your grandfather's in an
excellent mood today.

- Is this Eva from the Ugolini family?
- Yes, the poor side.

Gianluca, you're even more
of a snob than your father.

More than your grandmother!

Hello, Grandpa. Happy birthday.

It surprises me ...

that Tancredi gave it to
Emma as a wedding gift.

Tell me, how did you manage
to lose today's race?

It was fixed. They wanted
him out of the running.

I don't think so ...

- I was up against someone stronger.
- Impossible!

- The Recchis are unbeatable.
- That's right.

The doctor said we shouldn't worry.

He is fighting with all his strength ...

and his heart is responding well.

He has decided.

I'm glad you lost the race.

From now on you won't have
any further distractions.

I want to go to London
to see Herzog and De Meuron.

- Who?
- They designed the new Tate Gallery.

The Tate Gallery?

I want to give them the scaffolding
covers for the next project.

- It'd guarantee years of work.
- Are you sure?

- Madam, you look beautiful.
- Thank you.

- How are we doing here?
- Well.

Is everything all right?

Betta, Eva works in Atellani's,
the bookshop on Corso Magenta.

The one below Grandpa's house?
I've never seen you there.

I've not been there long.
I'm in the art department.

- Where is Pierluigi?
- He's coming.

Thank you.

Not Edo's ukha dish again!
Enough!

No, it's fabulous! "Ton sur ton."

You're right, Andrea.

"Ton sur ton"
is better than "con sur con"!

Eva, how did the race go?
You were there, right?

The guy who beat Edo is a chef.

- Do you know him?
- No.

But his restaurant is in a
building owned by my family.

- Beaten by a chef?
- It wasn't fair.

- Edo won.
- If you say so ...

Shall we go?

- Can I see it?
- Together with the others.

Thanks.

Let's go.

May I have your attention?

I have all of my granddaughter's
drawings on a wall.

When she becomes a famous painter,
I'll have people pay to see them.

What is this?

I took it at the Hanbury Gardens.
You took me there.

I want to move into photography now.

I like it. It's beautiful.

Yes, I like it too.

I'm just thrown by novelties.

I don't think he likes it.

You still owe me a drawing.

Come here.

I like it. It's wonderful.

Really.

Thank you.

For you.

Thank you.

My dear friends,

I don't want to die ...

and I won't ...

as long as the business
carries on ...

in the same spirit ...

in which I created it.

Our family's fortune
is built on the factory.

Every brick, every man,

every piece of material ...

is living proof ...

of what we have been.

We engraved our name
in our country's history ...

when, both during
the war and after,

we were able to tend to its needs ...

with our factory's constant,
busy activity.

The company was born Recchi,
and Recchi it must remain forever.

The time has come ...

for me to retire ...

and name my successor.

My son has always lived up ...

to my expectations.

I knew he would from the moment
I first held him in my arms.

Thank you, Tancredi,

for having been the
son I always wanted ...

and for having created
such a marvelous family.

I see qualities in your children ...

that will lead them
to live intense ...

and fruitful lives, as I have.

Of course, my grandson
had to choose this day ...

of all days to interrupt our
family's athletic tradition!

Therefore ...

I have decided to leave ...

everything in your hands, Tancredi.

And in your son Edoardo's.

It will take two men
to replace me!

Here's to Tancredi and Edoardo!

To the Recchis!

Come here, you winner!

Go to the cellar.

Bring two bottles of '49.

Yes?

It's for Edoardo Recchi.

- Can I take it?
- I'd prefer to deliver it myself.

- Who are you?
- Antonio Biscaglia.

One moment.

This way.

Follow the path. It'll take you
to the entrance of the villa.

Ida, leave it.

What are you doing here?

That's the chef ―
the one who beat Edo.

Come in!

I wanted to bring you a gift.

A gift?

For me? I get it. You're no longer
certain of your victory today.

- You put up a good fight.
- Come in.

It's a special night for my family.

I'd rather not, thanks.

As you wish.

I made you a cake.
I'm a chef.

Mama!

I want to show you something.

- This is Antonio.
- Good evening.

Look what he made for me.

Isn't it a work of art? He made it.

He's the guy that beat me today.
That's why he doesn't want to stay.

- Please stay.
- It doesn't matter, thanks.

- Are you going to bed, Mama?
- Yes, my love.

Ida!

I have to take this bottle
to Grandpa ― don't let him leave!

- Should the cake go in the fridge?
- No.

Please, come in.

SOME MONTHS LATER

Good morning, Madam.

- How is your son, Edo?
- Fine, thank you.

- Just the blazer?
- Yes, only the blazer.

I've managed to get rid
of those nasty stains.

- It's fine.
- Yes.

This is for you.

Wait, Mrs. Recchi, I found this.

I saved it from the washing machine.
I made it just in time.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Being part of a couple is
as nice as being alone.

We need to be brave.

They are the words of a song
that a friend made me listen to.

She's the one in the photo.
Her name is Angaharad.

Edo, you're the only one
who loves me how I am.

I have been with a girl.

Gregorio keeps on phoning.
He pretends not to understand.

Maybe he doesn't understand.

I don't know if I'll see her again,
it was very beautiful.

But I'm in love with another girl.
I love Angaharad.

I don't know what she thinks
of me, or if she likes girls.

Does it matter?
Today I managed to make her laugh.

Antonio!

Antonio?

- Hi, Tom!
- You finally made it!

You told me there
were spectacular views,

but I can't see anything!

You're right, it's lovely here.

- Isn't it a bit too remote?
- Two hours by car.

You're right.

I'm having a party at my house,

for Eva's birthday.

I want to ask her to marry me.

Don't you have anything to say?

- Congratulations.
- A little enthusiasm would be good!

Honestly, I'm happy.
Let's drink to it.

Best wishes!

Try this.

It's eggplant and elderflower,

I extracted the essence from here.

If I did this at the restaurant,
my father'd be mad.

He doesn't understand what I do.

He just thinks of the money.

Imagine a restaurant here.

People would have to climb
up to try my dishes.

The essence of flavors.
As simple as this place.

Do it.

- This is all his, he'd never let me.
- Have you asked him?

He thinks it's madness,
biting off more than I can chew.

He says nobody would come.

- I'll convince him.
- It's not that easy.

Come on, give me a hand.
You've become a real wimp.

Did you invite me here to work?

- Oh, how are you today?
- Doing well, thank you!

- Good morning! How are you?
- Fine, Rachele.

- I'm so glad you've stayed with us.
- Me too, Madam.

She is in a terrible mood,
despite having won the lottery.

Four straight numbers ...
I should've listened to her!

- You too?
- I keep her company.

As if coming to my husband's
funeral wasn't enough for her.

She wrote that she shares my
sorrow over Edoardo's death.

Shares what?
My husband was mine alone,

and anything that happened
without me is of no importance!

- Emma!
- Andrea!

She's in a terrible rage!
I have to go.

- Conference call with your husband.
- Goodbye.

Thanks, Emma.

Tancredi called me
from London yesterday.

He is making important decisions.

It was like listening to his father.

He gets more like him every day.

Elisabetta?

She never calls. What is she up to?

She likes the school she has chosen.

She's very busy studying.

- She wanted to come back today ...
- Do you like her?

Sorry?

Edo's girlfriend, the Ugolini girl.

Eva? She's very nice.

He seems happy with her.

I wouldn't be surprised ...

if they made an
important announcement soon.

The perfect wedding for
her and her family.

Marriage: Number 36 on the Lotto.

That should be lucky!

Let's carry on the family tradition.

Give it to her from me.

Thank you.

Ida, it's bustling!

We're almost done, Madam.
The chef's been cooking for two hours.

Mama!

Why are you here?

Remember Antonio?
You met on Grandpa's birthday.

Yes.

- Good evening.
- Good evening, Madam.

Excuse me.

Since I tried his cooking,
I fell in love with him.

Did you prepare all
this on your own?

No, Franco helped me.

Russian salad ...

- Why don't you try?
- I don't know how ...

- She's a great cook. Go on, Mama!
- Give it a go. It's not difficult.

- It looks dangerous.
- It isn't.

Be brave.

I'll help you.

- Hi, Franco.
- Good evening.

- Perfect, isn't it?
- Perfect!

Mama ...

Were you sleeping?

Good idea.

You won't get any peace tonight.

Do you miss Russia?

Sometimes.

You know ...

great things are happening there.

Sweetheart ...

Bye.

- How is the party going?
- Very well, Madam.

Are you tired, Ida?

No, we've had tougher ones.
Anyway, Edo is so happy.

Please sit with me.
Tell me what's going on.

Edo has spent all evening with Eva.

He left her only to try and take ...

his chef friend away
from the kitchen.

He thinks very highly of him.

Luckily, Mr. Tancredi is in London.

He doesn't really like
evenings like these.

- Shall I close the curtains?
- Yes, thanks.

Did you see the wonderful dish
your son's friend sent you?

The party cost more
than we'd agreed.

It was a lovely evening.

Edo was so happy.

A shame you weren't there.

Do you think he wants to marry her?

Your mother is convinced.

Elisabetta thinks so too.

How is Betta?

I thought she looked well;
maybe a bit sad.

I think she wants to
get back with Gregorio.

She told me you're
picking her up tomorrow.

Yes, after lunch with Rori.

I have to admit I was wrong. Going to
London was the right thing for her.

She likes it there.
She seems more motivated.

I don't think she will
go back to Gregorio.

She doesn't love him.

Ida?

Here.

What does that mean?

What does Edo think of selling?

He is slowly coming
to terms with it.

He can't remain anchored
to the past.

Gianluca thinks that selling
is the only sensible option.

And what do you think
about his restaurant idea?

It's his money!

You know what I think
about my father's decision?

Edo isn't at all ready ...

to make decisions
about the company.

He still needs a lot of guidance.

Edoardo's mother has confirmed
three people for one o'clock.

Yes, I know.

- What's she like?
- Who?

Mrs. Recchi.
Is she a nice person?

She's nice.

Can I have the press?

Thanks.

What are you charging
Edo for the party?

It was my gift to him.

Leghorn-style cod.
This goes onto the menu.

We did it!

1995 Bergheim Riesling Altenberg.

Excellent.

The first time my
son mentioned Emma ...

was when we were at La Scala,
on St. Ambrose's feast day.

You were still in Russia.

Tancredi said, "Mama, I'm marrying
a woman more beautiful than you."

Naturally, I didn't believe him.

To the Recchi wives!

Coming here today
was a great idea.

Edo is right to believe
in his friend.

He's a real talent.

I'm worried they're
pushing it a bit.

The idea of the restaurant
was rather rushed.

Too much enthusiasm can cause
one not to think straight.

Edoardo is an intelligent man.

He knows what he's doing.

Marinated egg yolk, pea cream
and zucchini flowers;

prawns with ratatouille
and sweet-and-sour sauce;

and mixed fish with
crunchy vegetables.

Enjoy your meal.

Where would you like to live?

I wouldn't mind London.

I know a law firm where
I could be an apprentice.

I love the city ...

Welcome, ladies.

Antonio, this is Edo's grandmother.
You already know Emma.

- How do you do?
- An excellent meal.

I heard of your project
with my grandson.

I'd be happy to give my opinion
regarding the furnishing.

Thank you.
And thanks for coming.

They seemed happy.

I think so.

I made prawns for your mother.

I know my father
only listens to you,

but I'll try and tell him.

Rori, excuse me a moment.

Am I interrupting?

- I'd like to thank you.
You are great. │- Thanks.

The risotto, the prawns,
the vegetables ...

they were exquisite.

- I grow the vegetables myself.
- Really? Where?

Near Sanremo, in the countryside,

where your son and I plan
to set up our restaurant.

How will you manage not being here?

Hey, Franco, let me do that.

Good evening, Madam.

I'll go on Thursdays
when we are closed here,

and between shifts
whenever I can.

- See you soon.
- With pleasure.

Here I am!

Mama! Grandma!

How wonderful to see you.

- How was the trip?
- Fine.

- How are you?
- Very well.

Betta!

Why did you come?

What do you mean, why?
What have you done?

- Goodbye.
- What?

Shall we go?

I'm sorry I missed Eva's party.

Edo's crazy about Antonio, right?
They want to open a restaurant.

He wants me to stop off
on my way to Nice.

- For your exhibition?
- Yes.

- Can I tell you something?
- Of course.

I left Gregorio for her.

It's not a passing
thing, I'm sure.

Do you like her?

She's beautiful.

Very beautiful.

I don't want to tell
dad, or Gianluca.

They wouldn't understand.

Here, she looks amazing.

Why don't you come
to Nice with me?

- I might.
- We can be together.

Can I offer you
something to drink?

Why don't you come with me?

We can look for a space
for my exhibition.

We'll leave on Tuesday,
Sanremo to Nice.

What will you do when
we're all in London?

I grow the vegetables
myself, near Sanremo.

Her name's Angaharad,
she's my teacher.

Edo can't stay anchored
to the past, things change.

Edo, darling ...

I'm out of town.

I've decided to go
to see Betta in Nice.

But don't tell her.

I'll call you later.

- I'll be right with you, Madam.
- Thank you.

Mrs. Recchi!

How come you're here?

I'm going to visit Betta.

Oh, the exhibition in Nice.
Edo told me about it.

- How about you?
- The restaurant is closed today.

Right, it's Thursday ...

the countryside ... the vegetables.

If you aren't too busy,
why don't you come with me?

It's just a slight detour.

I'll show you where Edo and I
will open the restaurant.

He's already been
there a few times.

Okay.

My truck's there.

- Were you born here?
- No, my father's from here.

The land is my grandfather's.
I started cooking here as a child.

I love cooking,

but I'm not as good as you.

Edo tells me the opposite.
He always talks about you.

And he talks to me about you.

He'll be happy you came.

Take a little walk around.
I'll be back in a bit.

Something smells good, Ida.

I made spelt soup.

Why don't you dine
with me this evening?

It's strange being
in an empty house.

Thank you, Madam,

but you know I have my ways.

- They could change.
- No ...

- Your son called.
- What did he say?

He asked if you'll pass by the factory
to say goodbye, before he leaves.

Bye, see you in half an hour.

How are you, Eva?

We fired too many workers.

We had responsibilities
towards them.

Think of their families.

Grandpa wouldn't have done this.

Yes, he would. He always did
what was best for the company.

That's not true.

Respect for the name, traditions
and values is what matters.

There.

Don't be a hypocrite.
You know it's not like that.

Grandpa had no qualms about
dealing with the regime,

acting as if nothing was going on ...

while he exploited Jewish workers.

That's what we are.

That's what we Recchis are.

We'll talk about
this again in London.

Too many things are heading
in the wrong direction.

I'm always so happy to come here.

I came here with Grandpa as a kid.

He brought me here into the canteen
and sat amongst the workers.

He enjoyed making them
believe he was one of them.

Time moves on. Things change.

Mama, at last!

We've finished. Everything
is being sent to London today.

Are you coming to say goodbye?

Pity ...

Never mind, it's nothing.
How are you, though?

Antonio!

I wanted you to have
it before I leave.

Your father has signed.

He's granted us half of the land
and permission to open the restaurant.

You don't seem very happy.

Tell you what,
I'll look at the papers ...

and we'll talk when you get back.

If you aren't sure, just tell me.

Sorry.

You know how I am, certain
things embarrass me.

We're hosting a big dinner.
My father wants you to handle it.

It's an important business dinner.

My mother will call you
with the details.

Once you've read it, call me.

Do you like this CD?

How are you?

Good morning. A Chinotto please.

Thanks.

So, for the dinner ...

What do you suggest?

Ligurian dishes?

You left this in the truck.

Once, Edo told me about
a dish you make for him.

He said it's difficult to make.

Ukha.

You need someone to catch

a great deal of fish from a river ...

lots of different kinds.

The most important thing is ...

that the broth must be clear.

You must be able
to see through it.

When I moved to Milan,
I stopped being Russian.

There was too much of everything,

in the streets, in the shops ...

I learned to be Italian.

Tancredi collected art. He came
to Russia in search of treasure.

My father was a restorer.

Tancredi used to come
to our house.

One day he asked me out.

He was shy and sweet.

We couldn't be seen in public,

so we rode in a cab until dawn ...

and then made love.

He brought me to Milan ...

and I haven't been
back to Russia since.

If I got homesick, I cooked.

One day I made a soup that
my grandmother taught me.

Ukha.

Edo, who was six then,
liked it so much ...

he kept asking me to make more.

Edo loves my being Russian.

Emma ...

Emma is not my real name.

Tancredi gave it to me.

What is your real name?

I no longer know it.

At home ...

they all called me Kitesh.

Say it.

Sell.

Your grandfather was a great man,
but we have to look to the future.

Papa!

What, Edo?

Gianluca took me to the Atlantique.

I thought I'd get him back by
taking him to an Electrelane concert.

But he loved it!

Being among a crowd
of ecstatic lesbians!

Betta, it's done. We're selling.

We'll be even richer.

Come here.

Thanks, if it weren't for you ...

You mustn't thank me.
I did it out of selfishness.

I'm happy knowing you're happy.

Happy? "Happy" is a word
that makes one sad.

Why aren't you happy?

Edo, what's wrong?

- Can you give this to Mama?
- Yes, sure.

You look nice with short hair.

Did you speak to Edoardo?

When we got back,
I found him relieved.

It's important for us
all to stick together.

- Sorry, were you watching it?
- No, don't worry.

I'm tired.

- Liliana!
- Yes?

They're here. Go and help them.

Good morning, Madam.
Can I help you?

Thank you.

You disappeared without telling me.

Good evening.

Mama, let me introduce
you to Shai Kubelkian.

Good evening, I'm Rori.

- Beatrice Tavecchia.
- Good evening.

- Sorry?
- Tancredi told him you're Russian.

Thanks.

Can I talk to you?

- I want to see you happy.
- I am happy.

Thanks to you, to Antonio,
to my mother,

and to him, or her.

Excuse me.

Mama!

Does Edo know you
prepared his soup?

No, he doesn't.

He'll be pleased.

- You have wonderful children.
- Thanks.

Darling ...

Thank you, Mama.

I'll go, you stay here.

Please forgive us. You've now seen
an example of Russian temper.

Edo and his mother ...

Wait!

Wait for me!

Listen to me!

Let's talk.

I beg you, look at me and listen!

- You're lying.
- What?

- You're just like the others.
- What do you mean?

You're just like Gianluca,
Papa, Antonio.

You even gave him our ukha.

I wanted to tell you something
important, but no ...

I don't want anything to do
with you, you're nothing to me.

Trust me, Edo!

Don't touch me!

Good evening.

I don't have good news ...

Your son suffered a head injury ...

which caused a hematoma
that pressed against his brain.

So we removed it.

But the fall also caused
a more serious hemorrhage.

He never regained consciousness.

I don't think he suffered.

I'm sorry.

I'll take you to him.

Kitesh ...

Emma!

Madam.

You have to wake up.

Our Lord Jesus Christ,

who after resting three
days in the sepulcher ...

gave assurance of resurrection ...

to those who believe in You,

let our brother Edoardo
rest in peace ...

until the day You, the
Resurrection and the Life,

will illuminate him with the
splendor of Your vision ...

so that he may see the glory
of Your Kingdom,

You who live and reign eternally.

Amen.

Give him everlasting rest ...

and eternal peace ...

in the glory of Your light. Amen.

Emma ...

You no longer know who I am.

Darling, please.

We mustn't go out of our minds.

We have to carry on.

Together.

I love Antonio.

You don't exist.

Madam!

Gianluca?

Rori?

Betta?

Mama?
