It's the same biorhythm.

But, love, all alone?

- Is that limestone?
- Really?

- He's very good.
- Very.

- It's you.
- I bought them for myself.

Yeah.

Good morning.

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

Want anything else?

- Okay.
- Go on.

Just pay attention, okay?

Light meal, uh?

To hell with my diet.

- It's always big meals.
- The plates!

- Get the plates.
- Right on time, uh?

Guys, get the plates. Will you stand up?

I'm not having anything else.

- I'm leaving...
- No, don't go.

- Come on, they're all here.
- Don't go.

- Crudités, anyone?
- I'll have some.

You gotta tell us something, Ferzan.

- You're not on a diet but I am.
- Get the napkins.

Stefano, get moving. Come on.

Alright, let's start eating
and I'll tell you about all this.

Mara's been here since 7 a.m.

- Well done!
- Thanks, Mara.

- She's been here since 7 a.m.
- Anything for you guys.

Thanks. Anyway, you're a master chef.

Do you have any napkins?

Thank you.

So, I called Mara yesterday
and I asked her to come

and help me out,
because I called all my actresses.

She asked me why and I said,
"I have to make a movie with them".

With all of my actresses and more,
like Geppi, Vanessa...

Some of them aren't here.

You had to bridge the gap
in your career. I get it.

Yeah.

Right?

- There's two men, we'll have four...
- Is there a scene...

- What?
- A scene with Stefano and Vinicio...

- No!
- ...mingling in ecstasy

with the God of Love?

No such thing.
There's nothing you'd expect.

- Good luck everyone!
- Sit down!

Sit back down.
I still have to explain. Hold on.

Don't make me play an aunt again.
Or a grandma, for that matter.

- I'll have you play a mum.
- A mum?

- You know whose mum?
- Whose?

Luisa...

- and Jasmine.
- You'll have to age me.

I know I'll have to age you.

I don't know if you saw...

I might make them younger.

You'd need a miracle.

Yeah, a miracle.

Do you have any idea what you'll do
with this vaginodrome here?

- Vaginodrome!
- With what?

Seeing all these women, I'm wondering
what you'll do with the vaginodrome.

- Do you have any ideas?
- Vaginodrome?

You can't call a movie "Vaginodrome",
can you?

Let me tell you this.

I would like to make a movie
featuring the power of women,

the work of women...

So it's a science fiction movie! Or what?

You are my diamonds.

To diamonds!

- Come on. To the vaginodrome!
- Wait!

- What a nice idea, Jasmine.
- Want to get drunk?

- Come on.
- Will you tell us more?

Okay, let's eat
and then I'll tell you all about it.

I made a few tiny scripts for you to read.

- That's my cue to leave.
- No! Again?

- No, what a drug!
- I feel out of place.

- Toast with us.
- She's dressed like a smurf...

To women!

To women and those who love them!

Bianca, you can't change things
without asking me first, okay?

Don't play goody-two shoes with me.
With all those famous actors...

- You had to get back and make me dinner.
- My body, my choice.

- Elio, what do you think?
- Give it away!

- Ladies and gentlemen...
- Freedom is doing what you want.

Diamond pink.

I didn't know how crazy
this world could be.

How much thought, talent
and determination went in it.

I still don't know what to do, aunt,
but I know...

I want to spend my life in here.

I'm Carlotta's cousin, the dyer.

She told me I need to start here
if I want to be a costume designer.

- The sleeve has to drop straight.
- I told the tailors as much.

- Do it again.
- Very well, Ma'am.

When you introduce yourself, say your name
first, then who you're related to.

- My name's Giuseppina.
- That much I know.

I studied at Rossana Pistolese's
Fashion and Costume Academy.

I'm fixing it.

It's Costume and Fashion Academy,
not Fashion and Costume.

Any field experience?

None. I'm fresh out of the Academy and...

- That skirt is short on the sides. See?
- Yes, Ma'am. I have to fix the hem, too.

Do it.

If you studied at the Academy, you know
who made the heads of The Satyricon

Yes. The costumes were made by...

- Good job.
- Danilo Donati.

- Thanks.
- I asked about the heads.

Do you know Piero Tosi?

Yes, I heard of him.

You want to be a designer
and you only heard of Tosi?

Gather the scraps for now, and if needed...

If needed, you'll mend.

I don't want to be a seamstress,
I want to be a costume designer.

"I"?

There's no "I".

There's just "We" here.

And we need someone
who'll learn to sew properly. Okay?

A good costume designer
is first of all a good seamstress.

Otherwise, you can't lead.

Go ask Ennio for a smock.

- Fausta?
- Yes?

- This neck isn't perfectly round.
- We already remade it twice.

But it doesn't work. Do it again.

It will never come out as you want it
with this crest, it's impossible.

Do it a third time. I'm sure it will.

- Our job is all about...
- Details.

Exactly.

Mina wants this ready on Saturday.

Friday's better.
We'll have time to fix it, just in case.

Why? It's good. Mina never complains.

Mina does not, but I do.

I know you do.
How did you treat that poor girl? Uh?

- Like she deserved.
- I can't find this Ennio.

See?

- Still cleaning up the kitchen?
- Are you here to help?

I don't want this
to look like a soup kitchen.

Who are you expecting?
The Queen of England? Come on?

More or less.

- Did you eat?
- I don't remember.

At a certain age, one needs to eat.

Or you lose weight and get wrinkles.

I'm sure you're not at risk.

Not at my age, I'm not!

At your age you are!

Try to stay focused.

Especially today. Straight backs.

- What are you doing?
- Collecting scraps.

Put them on the ground.
It has to look like we're busy.

But we are busy.

Gabriella. What are you doing?

- Finishing Turandot.
- Come with me.

Please, don't look at the dress,
it's not perfect yet.

- I told you, but you won't listen.
- That's not the point.

- Ennio?
- Yes, Ma'am?

When she'll be in the office with us,

come in twice
and ask if you can interrupt.

- Do I have to interrupt, Ma'am?
- No, just ask if you can.

We'll say you can't.

No need for such enthusiasm.
Apparently, she's a hyena.

Maybe she is. But she's good.
She won an Academy Award.

Hello.

- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

- No, please, keep working, thank you.
- Hello.

Mrs. Vega?

Mrs. Bianca Vega?

Welcome. Please follow me.
We were expecting you.

It's a massive movie.
Wonderful, but massive.

After the second award, Lorenzo
got free rein from the production, so...

I have to prep for a movie in three weeks.

- Three weeks?
- Three, yes. Four tops.

We can make it.

- You can?
- Yeah.

- You read the script, right?
- Yeah, sure.

You know I'll have to involve
other sewing shops,

so I'll just ask you to make
the main characters' costumes.

No. You can do the whole movie here.

- Maybe let's look at the sketches first.
- Sure, obviously.

- May I interrupt?
- No.

- Just bring another bottle.
- Right away.

Look Bianca, we're honoured
to work at this movie with you.

Thanks.

It's the 18th century,

but it's almost reinvented, you know?

It focuses on essence.

I want it to be primal, not pictorial.

I want it geometrical,
but more than anything, I want it...

corporeal.

I want the fabrics
and the shapes to remind us of...

the texture of the flesh.
The little wrinkles we have here...

In the staircase scene, the costume falls
together with the protagonist.

Give me some beads.

Shh!

It has to be sensual, obviously...

but determined.

Am I explaining myself or...

- You are.
- Yes?

Huh.

Come closer. Have a look. Come.

It's clear, right?

That we're in the mid-eighteenth century.
But I don't want old.

I don't want stale.

Use as much dust as you need,
but that dust has to be...

luminescent, light.

To me, this is the echo
of her wounded soul.

How should we mount the beads, Bianca?

- With fringes?
- I... I don't know.

So... Got any ideas?

Who's going to...

- Who's the milliner?
- I am. Paolina.

Paolina. Good.

Let's extend the fontange.

Yeah. The fontange becomes a symbol.

It projects what we have inside
and hurls it away.

Wherever the gaze falls,
women always point towards the sky.

Towards what we can't...

We can't see and yet perceive.

We are connected to the stars.

That's why we perceive everything.

She's incredible, right?

Beautiful.

Fascinating. Enlightened.

- I heard she's a man-eater.
- Rightly so.

And she can't find an assistant
who's good enough for her.

I heard she lived in London,
Paris, New York.

Oh, well. The farthest I went is Morlupo.

Follow her if you want to travel.

Travel? We'll die here
with all these panniers and fontanges.

Let's go.

I'll miss the bus again.

Paolina? It's for Simone.

I'll make a run.

- Kiss him for me.
- Thank you, Silvana.

- I have to run. School's out.
- Bye.

See you tomorrow.

- Where are you going?
- Piazza Navona for a drink.

- Bye.
- Oh, it's "a drink" now?

Lucky her. Fausta lives with her friends
and she answers to no one.

- Why, who do you have to answer to?
- I have my own stuff going on.

It's not like widows
have nothing to think of.

Eleonora, the bus is coming.

- Bye, girls.
- Bye!

Tell me, how's Vittorio?

He's fine.

- As always.
- You sure?

He's doing great, you know?

He has a wonderful relationship
with his father. They're very tight.

What's wrong, Nicoletta?

Is it because of overtime?

- No.
- You're afraid to tell your husband?

No, no. I was just trying
to figure out my schedule...

That's it.

And you know,
you have your own stuff too, right?

I keep my stuff to myself.

- Good for you. Bye, Eleonora.
- Bye!

Vittorio?

Sweetie?

Vittorio?

He skipped lunch again.

Not a word from you?

What should I say? At his age,
I wanted to do as I wanted too.

You did, uh? Yeah, but you did that
with your friends.

Maybe with me, uh?

Vittorio doesn't get out of that room.
He's skipping school too.

- That's not normal!
- God, you're so dramatic.

Vittorio is perfectly normal.
He's just going through a phase.

You know what'll happen now?

I'll make dinner,
you'll eat and your son won't.

Your son won't.

- Yeah.
- And that's normal?

Where are you going?

Home.

- Everyone left.
- Aren't you staying to help me out?

Lucio's waiting for me.

He can eat alone for once.

I thought...

I hope I didn't overcook it.
It was freshly made.

Mm.

One of my patients' wives makes it.

She brought it in the afternoon...

She'd made it one hour before that.

It's good...

What's going on?

Trouble at work? Alberta? Did you fight?

Trouble with the seamstresses?
I mean, your face is...

No.

Tell me you didn't go back
to them, please.

Tell me you didn't torment
the witnesses again.

Let's eat.

Check if it's all there
and bring to storage.

Sure.

- Take it all to storage.
- Yes.

- Too dark.
- It's not.

It's dark.

It will get lighter once it cools down.

No, it won't.

- I swear, Miss Alberta.
- Don't swear, it's risky.

Can we talk?
When did you order all this stuff?

I went ahead.
I knew she'd do everything with us.

- You're insane.
- I'm not.

Did you see the sketches?
It was the only way.

Let's at least call the accountant
to help us with the books.

We can do that on our own.

We can't do this without delegating.

Ennio, schedule a meeting with production.

- Jotting it down.
- I said schedule, not jot.

I'll schedule.

- Alberta...
- Check how much taffeta we have.

I'll check the brocade.

What about the beads?

We'll choose the beads later.

"The beads...

My daughters will mount them."

Gabriella, still going on about dad?

We spent a lifetime mounting beads.
You were fed up.

Bianca Vega asks for beads,
and what do you do?

- You mount beads.
- Why? Do I have to do it?

No. The seamstresses will.

When? With what strength?

They're prepping three movies.
You just added one.

We only had to do the lead.
It's all the roles now.

What are you looking for?

Can you count the taffeta? Then do it!

Where will you make those costumes?

Let's clear it all out and reserve
the space for Bianca Vega's costumes.

- Who will clear it out?
- Those guys.

- Who?
- Those guys, come on.

- Dismantle, cover, bring downstairs.
- Dismantle, cover, bring downstairs.

Let's dismantle the whole shop, right?

Hurry up, it has to be
at Teatro Valle in an hour.

Sure, Mrs. Gabriella. Come on, Rosa.

Oh, God. This feels so good.
I haven't done this in ten years.

Yeah. What do Americans know about that?

Gianni, shoulder to wrist, 71.

Giuseppina, what do you think
about this 18th century?

You need to wake up,
or you'll never find a boyfriend.

Paolina, do you like him,
or can I pass him to Giuseppina?

She already has a small kid at home.

- Time for a big kid, then.
- Come on, be serious.

I'm dead serious.

Excuse me, young man. Young man.

What costume will you have?
Courtier or peasant?

You don't know?

Well, you do have a courtier's face...

- But a peasant's ass, uh?
- Yeah.

One hundred. My idea of paradise.

- Congratulations.
- Hey, you! Come here.

Stand here.

Let me see. Turn around.

Slowly. Like a music box. The other way.

Courtier or peasant?

- Forget it.
- Nina!

Show some restraint. You're the matron.

So? I haven't been hopping
on peasants for a long time.

- If Vega could hear you...
- Don't fall in love.

Nicoletta? Are you doing okay?

- Yeah.
- What do you care?

You already have a hunk at home.

They killed me at work today.

- You must be hungry.
- I am.

You smudged the plate.

This risotto sucks.

Are you scared?

See if it's too hot.

See if it's too hot!

It's too hot, and it sucks.

What do I have a wife for? Tell me. Huh?

Sorry, Bruno, we had trouble at the sh...

What the fuck does the costume shop
have to do with my risotto?

What?

- Please...
- Come here!

No, please!

Tomorrow you'll be home at 5 p.m.
and you'll cook something decent.

- Got it?
- Yes.

Be one second late and I'll kill you.

Know where this well leads? Huh? Do you?

To the Tiber!
No one will ever find you. No one!

- Got it?
- Yes.

Cold-break curtain from the butcher shop.

Oh, yes. It keeps the rooms cold
as the butchers come and go.

You want this instead of the beads?

Yes, we'll make plastic lamellas with it.
There.

Like an armour on the heart.

Like rain.

A river.

A waterfall of melting lava.

Get to work. Let's do it.

Be careful, I want them very thin, okay?

Twenty, 15 centimetres.

Look. This thin.

Different lengths. Organically, though.

A longer one...

What?

I like it.

See what the petticoat looks like?

I thought about a cage when I sketched it.

It's perfect. Perfect.

That's what the main character feels like.
She feels coerced.

Both her body and soul are caged.

It's not Happy Days

It's amazing.

Just sit down and behave, okay, Simone?
And don't touch anything.

- Bianca Vega's a genius.
- Yeah, but we'd need a labourer...

Not just Eleonora,
the best seamstress in Rome.

Yeah, laugh. I'm the only one
who makes tinsel in Rome.

Nicoletta, Paolina.
Go up to Gabriella in five minutes.

- Yes, Ma'am.
- Okay?

What's that?

It's... He's Paolina's son.

He helps us in the afternoon.

This is not a kindergarten.
Find a solution.

- Clear?
- Yes.

Be a good boy, Simone.

Stay here. Mum will come
as soon as she can.

- Yes.
- Sit here, Simone.

You have your notebook and your pencils.

Play with the buttons.
See how colourful they are. Look.

One important thing, Simone, okay?

If someone you don't know comes in,

you have to hide right away.

You have to hide immediately.

In here, okay? Don't forget.

I'll bring you a snack,
and mum will come as soon she can.

This thing with Simone
is making me nervous.

I know, Paolina, but you have to react.

How can I react? I'm poor as hell.

Sell something.

She just told you she's poor.
What should she sell? Simone?

- Yeah.
- You shut up.

Don't mind the pretty washer here.

I don't wash, I dye. And I like it.

- When I was young and pretty...
- "I was a music hall dancer..."

- You were a music hall dancer?
- Yeah.

I was a music hall dancer. Yeah.

I liked it. I had fun.

I wasn't sitting here
cooking for these misfits.

And yet, you're here cleaning veggies.

I know. That much is true.

You know, sadly time goes by...

You grow old...

No one wants you anymore...

And my boyfriend left me.

He was a manufacturer.
He suddenly dumped me.

That's how it went, Paolina.

He didn't just pull the rug out
from under my feet.

He went ahead and cut my feet off.

And yet your tongue...
No one will ever cut that off.

She always has to be the smart one.

The truth is that one must react.
One should never just put up with stuff.

When you're a lonely woman,
when you're broke,

when you lost all hope...

You have to react.

That's what you should do, Paolina.
Listen to me.

May I, ladies?

Ladies? What's with the formality? Well?

- Giuseppina, help the guys out.
- Yes. This way.

- What do we do? We put it like this?
- Yes.

Bye, ladies.

You're a repeat offender, kid.

- I heard one of you sings.
- Not me.

- You?
- Um, yeah.

Sing.

I want to hear a song.

Sing.

- It was...
- Go on.

- Yeah?
- Just last night

- I was talking to my friends
- With my friends

Yes. Go on!

- We were having a laugh
- We were having a laugh

- And you
- And you

- And you
- And you

- You came
- You came

- You looked at me and then
- You looked at me and then

- Everything changed for me
- Everything changed for me

You exploded into my heart all of a sudden

All of a sudden

I don't know why

I don't know why All of a sudden

All of a sudden

Maybe because you looked at me

Like no one ever did

I feel alive

All of a sudden because of you

Thank you. You can go.

Enough! Let's get back to work!

Be quiet. Maybe Miss Roberta heard us.

Well, goodbye.

We'll keep in touch, thanks.

I want it to be like a dam,
blocking every thought...

What's this?

Does it look like a dam to you?
This is not even a gate!

- Come on!
- It's a canvas, to get the pattern.

We'll use another fabric.

What fabric would that be?
This is a complex structure.

- Gazar.
- Oh, sure, Cristóbal.

Who's Cristóbal?

- Balenciaga.
- He'd have helped us, but sadly he died.

It's limp. It shouldn't be, but it's limp.

Light.

Light. Light...

Thank you.

Light. Unwrap all the candies.

- Unwrap them.
- Come here, Roberta. Look.

Let's make some ruffles. Like this.

Keep making ruffles. Like this.

Slowly, please. I'm so delicate. Thanks.

There.

How is it?

- I don't know if it works.
- What?

It's a bit...

No, wait. A bit what?

I'm terrified. Does it make me look fat?

No, Alida. Don't worry.

- We can see your soul.
- Right.

My soul. And yet...

- It's thin.
- Look at yourself.

I'll turn around, okay?

Are we done, girls? Can I turn around?

Yes.

No, well...

It reminds me of...

withered grass.

- No...
- It's perfect, Franca.

Let's hope the director sees that.
And Samuel Beckett.

He wrote it.

Captions are there to be betrayed.

Oh, art.

It's all about betrayal, my dear.

I'm an expert,
but I hope I didn't overdo it.

- It's perfect, girls.
- The pneumatic.

- You should wear this.
- What's that?

- You have to put it on.
- This?

- Of course. It's nice.
- God! Are you insane?

Do you really think that an actress

can act with this thing on her head?

Good morning, Alida. Hello.
Can I steal Gabriella a sec?

- Please. Yes.
- Excuse me.

Yes.

You're stunning.

- Get moving. Sofia Volpi's coming.
- What? Shut up.

- Give me that.
- So what's the problem?

They can't meet.
You know what they're like.

I have to finish my fitting.

My dear, you're...

A vision.

Thanks, dear.

Hurry up.

Thanks. Thanks, Alberta.

Very beautiful.

Should I keep it? Do you like it?

Here she is.

- Welcome back.
- All good?

All good, thanks. Please.

Seventy.

- Write down 65.
- Sixty-five.

This is crazy.

I'm so lucky to wear these crazy dresses.

- Sixty-two.
- Just think...

I could have done this job
only because of this, you know?

- Thirty-five.
- When I saw...

Kathrine Hepburn, Bette Davis,

I envied them.

Why should you?

You have nothing to envy.

- You're not missing anything.
- Oh, come on.

- Your ring is gorgeous.
- No!

- What?
- Three seamstresses is bad luck.

What's your name?

Giuseppina.

What are you doing here? Go.

It's always this ring's fault.

I told Burt it's too big.

Excuse me, Ma'am, it's not too big.

With those curves, he's a lucky guy.

His curves though...

Curves are everything, Ma'am.

Pardon the interruption.

Sorry, Miss Alberta.
I urgently need Eleonora.

Excuse me.

- What about you? What are you doing here?
- We're waiting.

Waiting for what?

Giuseppina.

- Both of you?
- Yeah.

Our little Giuseppina.

- Why is it closed?
- Ssh!

Hey! What's going on?

- It's Eleonora's niece. She's been beaten.
- By whom?

- The police.
- Oh, God. What did you do?

- A rally.
- You idiot!

Leave her alone. We had our '68.

Speak for yourself.
I'm too young for that.

Why did you come here?

They were chasing me and I came here!
You're my aunt! Just help me!

- Hey!
- Kid, I'll give you the rest!

Shut up. Nicoletta, close the door.
You, pay attention to that door.

- I'm calling your mum, you're going home.
- I'm not going home!

- They'd find me. I'm coming to your place.
- No!

Not at my place.

My house is the second place
they'd go looking for her.

Right.

Then I'm staying here.

Just a couple of days.
Please, Aunt, help me!

- Eleonora, we have to help her.
- She can sleep in the locker room.

- What?
- Miss Alberta never looks in there.

Please, help me.
I won't talk, I'll be quiet.

We have a kid in the button room.

You in the locker room.
This is a costume shop.

- It's not a Refugium Peccatorum.
- What do you think, Ennio?

- Will you help us?
- I saw nothing,

I heard nothing,
I'll say nothing. I'm out of here.

He sees, hears, understands nothing.
It's like a man gave birth to him.

You're late.

I had to accommodate my niece. And...

You're so kind to have offered
to fix my window.

It's a pleasure, Mrs. Eleonora.

- Now I'll fix you too.
- Did anyone see you?

Who made these?

I don't know.

Girls!

Girls, get in here!

Come on.

Who made this?

Don't be afraid. It's pure genius.

A stomacher that...

Transforms itself, becoming...

Vaginas, almost. Who did this?

Look at me.

They didn't do it.

- Excuse me, I have an appointment.
- Come here.

- Here. Come.
- Ennio?

Didn't we have an appointment?

Yes, Ma'am. Mister Cavani.

Give me five minutes.

- Will you see him to my office?
- Yes, Ma'am.

What's going on?

Come in.

Mister Cavani.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Gabriella Canova.

- Leonardo Cavani.
- Welcome.

From Cavani-Sartòr investment company.

My sister Alberta.

Our company would like to invest
in your costume shop.

This is just a first meeting,

to see if there's chance of cooperating.

What we're proposing is financial support
to help you grow and expand.

If you agree,
we could make an official offer.

We're flattered.

But we need to talk.

- Yes.
- And eventually we'll let you know.

Gabriella, could you please see
Mr. Cavani out?

I'm busy.

Mr. Cavani?

Follow me.

Thanks.

Excuse me.

Alberta!

I wanted to see you again.
That's why I came here.

Maybe it was the wrong way.

When I saw your name
in the potential assets list...

I lost my mind.

I never stopped thinking about you.

- If only I could've...
- What?

You wouldn't have left me waiting
so many hours at the Paris station?

How many years has it been?

Fifteen?

Eighteen?

I don't know. I don't remember.

I only remember that clock.

I looked at it for hours.

Waiting for you to come.

Then I remember I left.

The further I got from the clock...

The more I knew you had made your choice.

It wasn't easy.

I couldn't come that day.

I would've wanted to explain.

But I never found you again.

My heart stopped waiting.

I don't know about you,
but I'm exactly where I want to be.

Now, if you don't mind, I have work to do.

Eleonora?

Nina?

Forgive me, I really need to work.

Gabriella?

Mm.

- Gabriella!
- Mm.

Want something to eat?

It's lunch time.

No, thanks.

Silvana.

I never ask how you're doing.

Are you okay?

Everything's fine.

I'm fine.

Don't worry about me.

I used to...

I used to always come visit you.

And...

Seeing each other is not necessary...

when we care for one another.

You were right, Mrs. Olga.
I ended up leaving her.

Well, you didn't even stop to breathe.

Since you already have another woman.

What can I do? I'm in love with love.

Listen.

Is it true that this one's older than you?

Yes, four years older.

That's good.

You start with four,
and you might end up with forty.

They look like ten to me.

You're really adorable, Andrea.

You're an adorable woman.

Okay, I'll let you decide.

What did you take today, Aunt?

You're different.
Is it the pills? A new cure?

Why?

I'm doing just fine.

I'm almost engaged too.

Don't play Goodie-Two-Shoes with me.

With all those famous actors
going around naked in your shop...

Who knows what you're doing?

There's nothing to say. We work a lot.

We work.

And, we had some turbulence recently.

Especially for our Alberta.

A handsome man came by
with a financial offer.

- He was just an old friend.
- Who is it?

Leonardo Cavani.

Leonardo Cavani?

The guy from Paris?

Oh, he's the guy from Paris?

Yes, he's the guy I met
while working at Balenciaga's.

- Why didn't you tell me?
- What would've changed?

- For me? Nothing.
- Exactly.

I could have chosen to stay closer to you.

- You were standing beside me.
- She cracked a joke.

She just cracked a joke.

- Girls...
- She's acting the part... No, listen...

She's playing the miserable,
forsaken role.

Before dying, your mum...

She asked me just one thing.

To never let you fight. Ever.

You can fight with fathers, with lovers,

with brothers, but not between sisters.

Not with aunts, either.

Come on, girls. Huh?

Cheers.

I told you not to touch anything.

- And you started playing the designer.
- Girls!

This is Burt, Sofia's fiancé.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yes, it's him!

He has someone else?
They were supposed to get married.

- Poor girl. She was so happy.
- She's one of us too.

- She's a cuckold too.
- Can I see it?

Yes. It's only rubbish anyway.

Well, we like the occasional gossip.

Oh, we do like gossip!

We like your pasta,
more than anything else!

Thank you!

There's more. Tomato and...

- There's some for Simone, too.
- Thank you.

Nicoletta?

- Everything okay at home?
- Yes. Yeah.

- What happened to your lip?
- Ehm...

I think an insect bit me last night.

I scratched it at night. Does it show?

An insect with a moustache?

Maybe it was a spider. I don't know.

Here, sweetie.

Put some foundation on it,
so that it doesn't show.

Thanks, Nina.

We should kill them at birth,
those spiders with a moustache. Right?

- Don't they have a spray?
- Not yet, unfortunately.

- Yeah.
- Come on, girls.

Eat up.

- There you go.
- That's not Mountbatten pink.

- Neither is that.
- Maybe in the light...

No, it's not.

I know. I know. Um...

I tried everything, Miss Alberta,
it just won't come out.

Maybe right now, with all this madness,
we could use last year's tablecloths.

Tablecloths should be changed every year.

This won't be the year
where we don't follow tradition.

If only out of superstition!

- What should I do?
- Do it again.

Where are you with invites?

In a bad place. We only needed
the shop lunch right now.

- Go.
- Sorry, I got distracted.

That lunch is important.

For us, the shop and our collaborators.

- There's more Oscars than buttons here.
- Here I am.

- Bianca.
- Good evening!

- Come, let me show you the fabric.
- No.

Mikado.

Oh, my God!

It's perfect. Well done, girls.
It's gorgeous.

You're amazing. Well done.

No.

What the fuck did you do? What is this?

What the fuck is this?

This is cinema. It's called cinema.

It's not a documentary, okay?

You took for granted that the pannier
had to be classic.

Did you see the sketch?

All of you, right here. Right here.

I sketched it with an arched opening
in the middle.

Like Borromini's buildings' facades,

welcoming and protecting you,
and what the fuck do you do?

A mono block, covered with guinea
and this fucking tulle!

- It's my fault...
- Shut up. You have to shut up.

Shut up!

The costume is not just there
to dress up the character.

It should allow the actress
to get into the character.

Tell me how the fuck am I supposed
to let the actress in the character

if she can't even sit or piss freely?

This is a woman who, in the 18th century,
ladies, in the 18th century...

rather than marrying
a man she doesn't love,

she gives everything up!

So, in your opinion, this character here...

would give up her freedom? Tell me!

What I want is...

The actress has to feel it here. Uh?

Between her legs.

And I want it red!

- Like the dress?
- Not like the dress, like blood!

Come on, undo it.

Do it exactly as Bianca said.

And stop taking initiative!
Why don't you look at the sketches?

Do I always have to check everything?

I don't care how late it gets.
You stay here and you work!

I'll be right back.

Congrats.

Thanks.

Are you being serious?

Uh?

- What do you want to hear?
- An apology.

Apologise to them too.
Do you even realise what just happened?

No more dumb initiatives.

- Dumb? They're dumb?
- Yeah.

They work all day long.

- You trample on people.
- No, I don't!

- You don't?
- I don't.

Really?

The whole world is a carpet
you use to clean your shoes.

These shoes cost us plenty of work.

Do what you want.
I'll clean them wherever I want.

- That's a horrible thought.
- Why didn't you defend them?

Uh? Why?

Weakness is a trait in our family
I was lucky enough not to inherit.

Right.

You inherited other stuff.

You're cold, distant.

Merciless.

This cold, merciless woman...

took you away from that lame town.

If it wasn't for me,
you'd still be our father's servant.

I got away on my own legs.

Your own legs? You didn't use those when
aunt Olga wanted you to study in Rome.

- Mum had been dead for less than a year.
- So?

Wasn't what he did to her enough?
You wanted your life ruined too?

- I didn't stay for him.
- You didn't?

Then why did you stay?

Uh?

Tell me. Why did you stay?

Tell me. Why did you stay?

For you.

Bring this to the seamstresses.

Okay.
I didn't want to have all of you here,

like the other times, so...

I wanted to understand
some mechanics, a few things.

Your role.

Your sister's role.

The relationship you have with your mum,

with your dad, the beads...

The fact that you came to Rome
to create this...

To create this thing...

The costume shop in the building
aunt Olga left you...

Who is her sister, actually...

You look a bit weird.

Why? What's going on?

- No.
- Yeah.

- Does being their mum bother you?
- No.

You'd rather have Alberta's role?

We can do that. Whatever you want.

No.

I...

I can't do the movie, Ferzan.

There's a dear friend of mine

who's very sick.

She's alone, with no one to help
or take care of her.

And...

That's it.

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry.

It happens...

I mean...

You have to take care of people.

It's not easy when they're sick
and you have to pretend

that everything's fine, I mean...

You end up acting in real life as well.

I did it with my mum, too,
when she was sick.

I didn't tell her what she had, because...

I could play around with her, make jokes...

Make fun of her as usual.

She didn't know
she had so little time left.

I find it beautiful.

You don't always have to tell people
what they have.

- My mum didn't know as well.
- See?

Are all costume designers like that?

No.

They're all crazy in their own way.

Maybe I don't want to be one anymore.

Oh, God!

Nicoletta.

What's going on?

Nicoletta?

Enough.

What did he do this time?

Last time it was the insect.
Then the stairs. They're all excuses!

Same excuses I used
every time he came at me with the belt.

At the hospital I realised
that if I went back home, it was over.

What do you want to do?
Do you want to save yourself?

Tell us exactly what happened.

We can help you, you know?

It's just...

He says I'm not a wife.

That I'm not...

He said that
If I don't stop working, he... He...

He what?

What?

There's a very deep well in our garden.

He said he'd throw me in it.

I'd end up in the Tiber.

So no one would ever find me!

Nicoletta, you're not going home
tonight, okay?

You'll come to our place.

I have to go back home.
You know what happens if I don't.

I have to go back home.

I can't leave...

I can't...

Then you have to kill him.

We've seen too many women
get murdered, Nicoletta.

We'll come to your place.

We'll throw him in the well, okay?

He'll end up in the Tiber, not you.

Nicoletta. Look at us.

We're like ants.

It looks like we don't matter, but...

All together...

All together we can kill him okay?

What am I going to tell people?

What am I going to tell the neighbours?
Where did my husband go?

You tell them he went to buy cigarettes...

and never came back.

Right.

You're insane.

I'll start checking on you.

I'll call you every night.

If you say, "Pink buttons",
it means everything's fine.

If you say, "Blue buttons"...

we'll come, all of us,
quicker than lightning.

Okay?

Yeah.

Hey.

Some flowers came for you.

- What?
- They're from...

Leonardo Cavani. Here's the card.

Dinner's ready.
Try to eat, or it'll get cold.

Listen.

What? I can't listen to anything
this late, Alberta.

It's about the lunch.
There's 40 guests now.

- So?
- Can you handle it?

I've been putting up with you
for how long?

- Um, twelve years?
- A bit more than that, I think.

Of course I can handle it, come on.

Eat, or it'll get cold.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

So cheap a show
And blatantly happy

A nice bad taste
End of 19th century

There's students here
Young soldiers

Liberated women
With slim cigarettes

It's the queendom of the chanteuse
And with her move

She's gonna shake the whole nation.

- Where are you, honey?
- In the kitchen.

That's where this nice smell comes from!

Look what I made.

Meat loaf... And sour cherry tart.

- Good job.
- I try. I'm not as good as you.

What? You're very good.

What's that?

Do you like it?

It's gorgeous. What is it?

A model we're working on at the shop.

Bianca Vega was there. I was eating...

You know Amelia's candies.

They're everywhere.
Me and Alberta, we put them everywhere.

She saw me and she said,
"Give me the wrap",

so we took all wraps
and put them on the skirt.

She would've liked it, right?

It's gorgeous.

- Need a hand?
- Yes.

I was thinking...

Maybe you want to take a shower?

Uh?

Just to freshen up, sweetie.

The bathroom's ready...

The towel and...

And your favourite shower gel.

Not now, I don't feel like it.

Want to watch TV with me and Dad?

Uh?

Hang out on the sofa with us.

Hello?

Yes, Fausta.

Yes, the buttons are sleeping.

Thanks. Bye.

- Who the hell are you?
- Beatrice Dalconte.

I'm Eleonora's niece.

- What are you doing here?
- The police was chasing me after a rally,

I didn't know where to go, I'm sorry.

Please, don't fire her.

It's my fault. I insisted to stay here,
my aunt didn't want to.

If the police finds you here,
they'll shut the shop down.

- What did you do?
- Nothing. They charged us!

I should report you.

Don't move!

Hello, who's speaking?

Eleonora, I'm at the shop.

A girl here claims to be your niece.

- Can you confirm it?
- I do.

I'm sorry, Miss Alberta.

She's my sister's daughter, a deadbeat.

Are you a costume designer?

Absolutely not.
I have nothing to do with this world.

- I'll take it all off...
- Don't touch anything.

Why did you do it?

Why did you alter the costumes?
What are you doing with this one?

I heard that the lead
faces her father with this dress.

I thought of increasing
the space between them.

By adding layers and volume.

Like when women get fat.

They try to put a distance
between them and the world.

I think it's a form of protection.

What can I do to fix it?

You, nothing.

You, instead, show up at 8.30 a.m.
tomorrow with the others.

You'll start sewing.

- She's not cut out for the job, she's a...
- I'll be the judge of that.

What are you wearing?

I found it in there.

Find a place to stay tomorrow.

This is not a hotel.

Tomorrow, 8:30, with all the others.

The dress is very nice. Very, very nice.

This is pure genius.

What I want is...

for her to have the feeling
of carrying a weight on those stairs.

The corset renders the feeling of weight.

You can't see it now,
because there's nothing.

No actress, no staircase.
You'll see it all later.

I'll see it later.

Later. Always later.

But I want to see it earlier.

I don't want to know the weight is there,
I want to see it.

- How about a train here?
- No.

No, Lorenzo,
the train is old and ordinary.

We saw it 1000 times in 1000 movies.

I'll give you the feeling
of weight all the same.

But I don't want to change
the structure of the skirt.

- Alright...
- Just fucking trust me, okay?

Do what you want, like you always do.

I want to see it
before going on set, okay?

You will.

Don't worry. The actress already tried it.

I know she did.

I want to see it on her...

- with a train.
- Again? No train.

Give me time and I'll find a solution.

How much time?

Not much.

Sure.

Congratulations, by the way.

Bruno?

Bruno?

God, you scared me.

Weren't you supposed to be back at 5 p.m.
to make me dinner?

I'm sorry.

Your arm hurts, and yet you went to work.

It hurts a little, but I did go.

What should I do?

Should I break it,
so you won't go to work anymore?

Bruno, please, stop.

What if I don't?

I'll break up with you and leave.

What? Come here and say that again.

I said come here and say that again.

Do you know where you're going now?
Do you know?

You know where you're going?

You know where you're going now,
don't you?

You know, don't you?

- Uh?
- No!

- Hello?
- Nicoletta, you scared me.

- What buttons do you need?
- Blue buttons.

Blue buttons?

Ehm, pink!

Pink, pink.

- Are you sure you're okay?
- Yes, I'm sure.

I'm fine, Fausta.

Bye, Fausta. See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Excuse me, I have a delivery
for Ms. Canova.

Give it to me.

- Are you Ms. Canova?
- Yes, I am. Give it to me.

- Right. Same haircut.
- Hey, get back to work.

Ennio?

- Where's that kid hiding?
- How would I know?

- Okay, thanks. Have a nice day.
- Ennio?

Do you work at the pastry shop?

Yes. Deliveries and maintenance.

We need some maintenance here.

There's lots of biscuit boxes
who have been resting for years,

they'd really need some dusting.

- Here I am.
- Ennio, here you go.

Bring this to Ms. Canova. Go on.

Okay. Thanks and goodbye.

Excuse me. Your name?

Diego.

- Fausta.
- It's a pleasure.

Diego.

Do you smoke?

Yes.

Interesting.

Paolina, bring these sweets
to Silvana, in the kitchen.

She'll serve them with coffee.

Yes.

Miss Alberta, can I ask you something?

Go ahead.

It's a pin.

I can see that.

It's very precious.

It's the only thing I have left
from Simone's father.

He left it to me before leaving.

He was a Turkish engineer.

He worked here. He was...

A good man.

It's important to me,
but I need to sell it.

I'm afraid I'll get too little
if I'll sell it in Via dei Pettinari.

So, we should go?

The fact is...

I'd be happy if you did.

I'd like to get good money for it and...

If at all possible.

I'll show it to one of our suppliers.
Let's see if there's any interest.

How much money do you need?

I have to pay for the school cafeteria.

School stuff. The smock...

That's once a year, but cafeteria,
books and pencils are once a month and...

Okay, I got it, I got it.

I'll find out how much it's worth.

- Thanks.
- Welcome.

- What does it say?
- What?

What did he write?

Nothing.

Well?

Will you offer me a cigarette?

Only if we have dinner. Your place.

It depends.
How many cigarettes do you have?

- Why?
- There's lots of us.

- How many?
- A lot.

You can't count nice things.

Get a life.

- Can I say something?
- Not now.

What's your name?

Beatrice.

She's the one who made the corsets.
The ones that looked like vaginas.

Come here. Come.

Talk to me.

I was thinking...

We could make a sort of mantle.

Mount it on the back
so that it touches the stairs.

It's called andrienne, okay?

In order not to alter
the shape of the skirt,

while making the dress heavier
like the director said.

- What do you think?
- I don't know.

I could accept the andrienne,
rather than the train, but...

What do you think, Gabriella?

Gabriella?

Mm?

What?

What do you think?

I wasn't following.

I'm at a loss with these costumes.

I would've never agreed
if I knew they were like this.

You can't... We shoot tomorrow.

What, I go on set
and find them changed without knowing?

Make them exactly
as they were sketched, got it?

What's this?

What's this?

A mantle?

It's a mantle? I asked for a train!

A mantle for the last scene?
She's not a witch!

- It's all wrong!
- Stop yelling!

Gabriella.

How... How dare you?

Forgive us.

- We're sorry.
- You know what, Lorenzo?

I think you're scared of this movie.

Where's she going?

Come with me.

Move over, please.

Are you okay?

I did it all wrong.

- He's right. It all sucks.
- He's not right. No.

It's my fault.

I suggested the mantle.
I should've kept my mouth shut.

People make mistakes, you know?

Mistakes are not the issue. The issue...

It's me. Every time I make mistakes...

I question everything.

When I got my Academy Award, too.

That's how I felt.

I always feel inadequate.

I walked towards the stage...

I could see all these eyes on me...

Thinking, "When will you fucking realise
that I'm not worth anything?"

I'm worth shit.

Are you joking?

You are Bianca Vega.

One of the best costume designers
in the world.

I am nothing.

We are nothing...

but we are everything.

We're nothing, but we are everything...

Miss Alberta.

Excuse me.

- I found it. I found it...
- What did you find?

I tried a thousand times
and it just didn't come out.

Because this is not the year of...

- Mountbatten pink, yeah.
- Mountbatten, no, this is not the year.

Ladies...

Diamond pink.

Uh?

Good job.

That's what we are.

Diamonds.

What are you doing,
you're back sleeping here?

No.

I'm sorry.

I just wanted to wrap up a thought...

If you don't mind.

Did you eat?

Silvana...

Sure.

Go home, it's late.
I'll see you tomorrow morning.

Miss Alberta.

Thank you.

- Did you try calling Vittorio?
- I did. He's not coming.

That's it?

- What do you mean?
- Try calling him again.

- I will, but how...
- Go call him again!

- You call him. You're his mother.
- He's your son!

Don't say that I'm his mother!

- It's an excuse.
- I cooked, I set the table...

Don't fight.

We weren't fighting, sweetie.

He's so handsome.

Will you sit down a bit? Uh?

Want some water?

- Yes.
- Uh, sweetie? Uh?

Drink up.

I don't know what's wrong with me, but...

It's not your fault.
You have nothing to do with it.

Don't worry, sweetie.

Huh? Just a bit, sweetie. I made it.
It's your favourite.

There.

- Make me happy.
- Okay.

- It's good.
- Mm.

Maybe I have a solution, you know?

Yes. Do you remember Eleonora?

She told me she knows
a very sensitive woman...

And... She can solve problems,
like if you're not feeling well...

She listens to you, she's like a magician.

I mean, she touches you...

She heals you.

Really?

Should we go together?

Yes.

Okay.

If you have to work, I'll take him.

How about we all go?

Zircons and chromed brass.

It's worthless.

I'm sorry.

The Turkish, uh?

Thank you.

They're gorgeous, as always.

How can I tell Alida
she has no costume for the end?

- She can't do the monologue naked.
- Right now

the seamstresses are very busy.
I'm sorry, I underestimated it.

Our debut is coming soon.

Let's schedule another fitting with Alida

next week, okay?

- I only can on Monday at 5 p.m. Okay?
- Okay.

Don't worry. We'll make it.

- Did something happen?
- We're a costume short.

Which one?

The one for the final scene of the lead.

It's not a tragedy, you know?

- Nicoletta?
- Mm?

Everything okay?

Yes, why?

I don't know.

You seem different.

I let my hair down.

The hair, the nail polish, the neckline...

- You're smoking...
- I've always smoked, Fausta.

- Your husband? How's it going?
- News from the arsehole?

- Honestly, I haven't seen him in a while.
- How come?

What happened?

A few days ago...

he went out to buy cigarettes...

and he never came back.

I love men who smoke.

Mrs. Carlotta?

- All set. We placed the order.
- Thank you.

- Want some coffee, guys?
- I'd love some.

- Sure.
- What are you offering?

I might have an idea, but...

- He sings. He already did.
- That's true.

- Go on, sing. And you dance.
- I dance?

- Go on.
- Yes.

Come on!

Who can say
If it's right or wrong

Louder!

- Patti, the legend.
- Inside of you

Be assertive, boy.

- To give it all when you're in love
- When you're in love

Louder!

I say yes but I don't care

If I'm wrong I'll pay

Some stay behind the door

And leave love behind

Never face it but spy it

I could never live like that

I look at love in the eyes

And I never let my gaze down

I never regret anything I gave him

Should he come back I'd give

Even more

Love doesn't scare me, love

It's enough to know I care for you

Who would I hurt
By loving you more?

Simone?

Simone?

Look what I brought you.

A snack.

You won't answer me?

Should I put it here?

Well.

I'll play the mummy game.

I am the mummy...

You came out.

Look what I brought you.

Good, uh? But first...

I have a present for you.

Look at this. Look.

See this?

It's a magic red fish.

It brings plenty of good luck.

It's mine...

I've had it for a long time,
and yeah, let's say it's a lucky charm.

I want you to have it, sweetie.

It'll bring you plenty of good luck.
So much luck.

This way, you'll always remember me.

Take it.

You were right. The pin is worth a lot.

- I knew he was a good man.
- Who?

- Simone's father.
- Oh.

Ma'am, how much did they give you?

Nothing.

I decided not to sell it.

I'll keep it as a pawn.

The shop will support Simone's studies.

We'll give you a raise,
so you'll be autonomous.

I don't know how to thank you.

Go.

- Paolina?
- Yes?

I'm listening.

Find accommodation for Simone.
He can't stay in that small room.

Sure.

I'm sorry.

Go.

Are you with us, Gabriella?

Sure I am.

You smoked a pack of cigarettes
in less than an hour.

- Did you see who's here?
- No. Who's here?

Leonardo.

Leonardo who?

Leonardo Cavani.

Oh!

- Where is he?
- There.

Oh, he's a baguette.

- Please, aunt Olga.
- Did you choose your second courses?

No.

- Maybe I can help you, Ma'am?
- Drop the formalities, Andrea.

Sure. With pleasure.

Come here.

I need some information

- about that table over there.
- That one.

What did they order?

- What do you care what they ordered?
- Yeah.

Can I ask you something?

The blond lady who's with him...
Is she his wife?

Will you stop it?

- Will you stop it?
- I think so.

They shared the grilled lamb.

There are no doubts then.

- Shall we share one too?
- Shall we go?

Yes...

Stop looking. If they see us...

You know what? I'm going to say hi.

Wait!

Good morning.

- Have a nice meal.
- Good morning.

Good morning.

Ladies...

Rita, meet the Canova sisters.

They own a costume shop
our company would like to invest in.

I'm Gabriella.

Alberta, pleasure.

Is she the Alberta from Paris?

Leonardo and I lived in Paris
for a while when we were engaged.

On the day of the accident

he told me he had to talk to me
about this Alberta.

A friend who was living in Paris too.

But...

Then there was the accident, the hospital.
Everything changed.

That name got stuck in my mind, though.

I've never been to Paris.

How strange.

A seamstress who's never been to Paris?

Another night

That's how life goes.

Let's go.

We only wanted to say hi.

Enjoy the rest of your meal.

- It was a pleasure meeting you.
- For me too.

I don't know how it is

Spending a day without you

As time goes by

The world stays still for us

It won't end

This love will never end

You know, my love

I just can't, with words

I just can't tell you
What you are to me

Without you I'm nothing
Embrace me

Give me one of your kisses

That's all I need, you know

True love never ends

Parmigiana for 30, meatballs for 20.

No. I'll make parmigiana for 40,
meatballs for 40,

- and I'll also do 16 lasagnes.
- 16 trays?

Yes, 16 trays.

- You're exaggerating.
- It's a quality.

You always do what you want.
Ennio, bring the pastries to Mrs. Volpi.

- Mrs. Volpi isn't upstairs.
- Then who is?

Alida Borghese.

- Is Gabriella upstairs?
- Yes.

My garden

Alida, dear.

Dear Alberta.

- I look great, right?
- Yes.

Gabriella, didn't you check the schedule?

We couldn't have guests
in the fitting room today.

We're expecting the bricklayers.

They'll dismantle, raise dust...

- Dust?
- Yeah.

No, please, I really can't stand dust.

Only stage dust.

Oh, God, so funny.

- Want to try some hats?
- Don't we have five minutes?

- We'll finish... Come.
- We're not done. You think?

The director and costume designer are late.
Let's have a drink in my office.

It's not stage dust, it's stardust.

Oh.

- So, she's the bricklayer.
- Bricklayer?

- How long since you've been at the movies?
- Since you were in a theatre.

- I hate theatre.
- Such a shame.

Theatre teaches you to act better.

How come all theatre actresses I know
want to make movies?

Because it's easier.

In movies, feelings go through
a gaze in the foreground.

Blinking your eyes is enough.
But not in theatre.

Theatre goes through your body.

Through your hands,
through your voice, racing away.

Why don't they let you make movies?

Because I don't want to make them,
my dear.

I need the warmth of my audience.

But the audience doesn't need you.

Maybe you made a few movies
but no one watched them?

Maybe those movies were too intellectual...
But time, only time will tell.

Time, yeah, time.

- Is time your problem?
- Think about reaching my age, first.

Please calm down, ladies.
Alida, we'll find an accommodation...

No! I'm staying here.

My costumes are upstairs. I'm
playing Lyubov in The Cherry Orchard.

You know Chekov, right?

Be careful with cherries.
They're full of sugar.

I can't hear you.
Why can't I hear you so up close?

You remind me of that movie...
It was some time ago...

Sunset Boulevard?

You're so funny.

- I think my fitting rehearsal is over.
- Alida...

You won't see me that soon.
Neither me, nor this lacework.

Theatre will never die.

Where the fuck is the exit?

Alida, I'm sorry...

Follow her. Help her out.

Sofia?

You need to take a break.

I mean it, Gabriella.

You need to take a break.

You can't do it anymore.

I'm tired of fixing your mistakes.

Okay?

You decide?

Are you my boss now?

But we found this place together.

I did it with my sister,
and you're not here anymore.

You're absent.

And we both know why.

Don't you dare.

I do dare.

- Amelia was my niece, too. My niece!
- Shut up!

I won't shut up. I won't!

You can't.

I can.

I was always at your side. Always!

Ever since they told us
that Amelia got run over!

I was at your side
on that fucking crosswalk

for days on end!

Looking for witnesses.

You think I didn't suffer? Uh?

You think it didn't change me? Uh?

I kept my back straight.

One needs to move on. We need to move on!

You...

You suffered?

Yes.

What are you talking about?

You don't know.

You don't know what it's like
going home at night.

Seeing Lucio's eyes.

You don't know what it's like
going into her room...

Looking for her smell.

My daughter's smell.

Don't talk.

Gabriella...

Listen to me.

We all have our own tragedies.

Five years have gone by.

Five!

Time heals.

You want to feel how you feel.

You want to be there,
clinging to this thing.

You have to stop!
We need to start living again!

Understand?

I'm tired, so tired of carrying
this shop on my shoulders!

I'm alone here!

We have so many debtors!
It's all on my shoulders!

Enough. Okay?

Amelia didn't leave.

Amelia died.

She's dead. Dead!

She's dead! She's dead!

Okay? She's dead.

Shh!

Shh!

Are the other costumes okay or not?

The others costumes are fine,
the issue is with this one.

We need to solve it.

Bianca, I know at times
I can be a handful, okay?

This movie is different
from the others I ever made.

I'm asking you to help me.

Alberta?

- What?
- Gabriella...

How does it feel?

Forgive me.

Go home now.

We're all tired.

We have the lunch tomorrow.

We deserve to celebrate ourselves.

I'm sorry, he made a racket. Sorry.

That's the first time it's happened to me.

First time in my life.

I made a mistake...

I didn't follow my guts. Fact is...

I don't know. He confuses me...

Here.

This is the sketch...

This is the initial sketch.
A present for you.

Always follow your instincts.

Have a nice evening.

And thank you for...

Thanks for everything
you did for me. Thanks.

It was a great honour for us.

It's gorgeous.

See you tomorrow.

Beautiful, uh?

Mind the wine's temperature, okay?
It's important.

Don't worry, Mrs. Silvana.
I took care of it.

Good job. Don't make me worry.

- Is there enough meatballs?
- I think there's 150.

Let's make 20, 30 more.

- I agree.
- Go on.

Move that and put another chair there.

Maria, bring the lasagne, please.
Careful, it's hot.

Giovanna, you bring a tray too.

Put them on the table.

Put them on the table,
then we'll get the other ones.

I'm bringing the starters.

Let's hear it for Silvana
who cooked for us!

Thank you.

Thank you.

I woke up at 5 a.m., you know,
in order to cook.

I hope everything's to your liking.

Wonderful.

There's vegetables, if anyone wants some.

Giuseppina.

- The guys are a bit challenging.
- Well...

- Not much.
- I used peas.

- Should we have a toast?
- Let's have a toast.

Okay. To us, to all of us.

- Cheers.
- To diamonds.

Cheers.

Okay. Stand here, girls.

- Here?
- Here.

Check that the sewing machine
has a red thread, please.

Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Cheers!

Excuse me.

Sitting us next to each other
was risky, uh?

- I asked that.
- I asked that.

I went to see your movie yesterday.

I came to the theatre yesterday.

Unbelievable.

- You were extraordinary!
- No...

Please. We had to...

Maybe we can toast now, okay?

- Go.
- Ready?

- To what?
- Okay...

- To us, to cinema...
- Yes.

To theatre. Always.

He's such a good kid.

A mantle? What was it?

Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

Don't wait for me. I'm busy.

Yeah.

Sofia?

- I wanted to ask you a favour.
- Yes.

- Can you come upstairs for a fitting?
- Now?

It's amazing.

So gorgeous. It's amazing.

What's the budget for the costumes?
It's very important in comparison...

- Well...
- It's important.

For that reason too, we spared no expense.

- Bianca?
- Mm?

- Can you please follow me?
- Sure.

Excuse me.

Tell us how he is in person.

Well... He's short.

- No!
- He's short.

But he's handsome?

- That's disappointing.
- Give us an idea of the proportions.

- He's ugly.
- Oh, God, I can't believe it.

Oh, my God.

You're totally insane.

In decreasing order, too.
Did you know about this?

No...

The credit is all theirs.

We followed the sketch.

I love you all.

This too. That's how I wanted it.

- He's shooting tomorrow morning.
- It will be ready.

- We'll work all night.
- No.

No, girls, I can't ask that of you.

- You're not asking.
- We want to do it.

You're spending the night here too, Sofia?

Give me that.

Let's get to work.

- Sofia's staying too.
- Pins.

Hand me a pin. There.

Coffee, girls!

Coffee for everyone!

Who wants some?
I have a fancy helper tonight.

Don't get used to it.

Come get your coffee.

- I'll take care of it.
- Thank you.

- Can I have some coffee, please?
- Yes, coming.

It's so good.

- Thanks.
- Thanks.

- You're so sweet. Thanks.
- Thank you.

Uh?

- Oh.
- Thanks, Silvana.

How's it going?

- We have to get back to work soon.
- It's warm tonight.

Go.

- It's tight.
- Yes, it is.

Hold on.

- Will the director like it?
- Who cares about the director?

We like it, and that's enough.

We like it, and that's enough.

I missed you.

Turn around, Sofia.

You did a miracle.

You're extraordinary, girls. Good job.

Try walking.

Look.

Move lightly. I don't want to feel
the heaviness of the costume.

Look what you did.
Look at the way she's moving.

Good job!

I don't want to be a seamstress,
I want to be a costume designer.

There's only "we" here.

We need someone
who'll learn to sew properly. Okay?

They must've known we're making
the most important movie of the year.

We're like ants.

It looks like we don't matter, but...

All together...

All together, we can kill him.

I didn't stay for him.

Why did you stay, then?

For you.

Let's clear it all out and reserve
the space for Bianca Vega's costumes.

Even The Leopard and Ludwig...

- Dismantle, cover, bring downstairs.
- Dismantle, cover, bring downstairs.

We are nothing,

But we are everything.

Seeing each other is not necessary...

when we care for each other.

You taught me that, right?

Only what remains inside us matters.

You like my red fish, uh?

And now, bread and jam.

It'll bring you lots of good luck.

A lot.

It didn't bring so much to me, but...

The heart keeps mixing
what really happened

with what we only imagined.

The dead and the living.

The visible with the invisible.

Love with pain.

What we are goes beyond memory and life.

It's what's left
when all the rest disappears.

This is eternity.

This is cinema.
