It's not your fault the house isn't selling, there's a recession.

Did something happen with him?

No.

Goodnight.

- She's home? - Right, she's come home...

the whore.

- Paolo! - Here she is.

- They brought me home. - What's wrong?

- We need to talk. - About what?

- About you seeing someone else. - No! Adriano...

- Calm down. - You needed mommy?

Easy there, talk like that to him and he'll kill you.

I've never seen him like this before.

- Me neither. - All right... Thanks.

Wait, let me finish.

If my wife had someone else but still slept with me, I'd kill her.

I was thinking of leaving.

- Leaving? - I'll go tomorrow.

- Good girl. - I don't want you to go.

- She said she'll go. It's okay. - You don't know what you're saying.

Toughen up, or she'll destroy you.

Sleep in the guest room tonight, please.

- Don't do anything stupid. - You're going nowhere.

- Let her go. - This is my house, you can't leave.

- She's a bitch, forget her! - Understood, Veronica?

- Get out. - I can't keep my eyes open.

- What did you give him? - You sleep too then go.

- Or this'll end in tears! - Get out, this is still my house!

Watch out, if you hurt someone, they will hurt you back.

- Get out! - Marco, stay calm. See you tomorrow.

Marco...

What a shitty life.

In Brazil you get 160 hectares for 300,000 euros.

- Are you listening to me? - So what?

Things aren't going well. Italy's at a standstill. Why are we here?

If Marco came too and gave us some money, we could grow coffee in Brazil.

- We'd do what? - Grow coffee in Brazil.

- Are you on drugs? - Look who's talking?

Those pills wreck your brain.

- Why are you here? - You know why.

- Why? To die in peace? - To die in peace, yes.

To do something good in life.

Do that by fulfilling your dreams.

You still believe that shit? You're so naive!

Better naive than depressed,

guilt tripping about deceiving your dead dad.

- Leave my dad out of it! - Stay away!

Calm down.

I'm leaving anyway. To hell with you and your guilt trips.

- Good riddance! - You're dead already!

- And I'm the crazy one? - Fuck off!

We're such losers.

We'll sort things out, don't worry.

Will Matteo like me?

- Will he like me? - I don't know, leave me alone!

Leave me alone, all of you.

Where are you going?

- I'll come with you! - No!

There's something I need to tell you.

There is?

What is it?

I slept with Carlo.

- What the hell are you saying? - We slept together.

- You're nuts, I'm speechless. - I don't know what happened.

Maybe it was out of despair and facing my failures every day.

For a moment it was like there was no betrayal or divorce.

It all disappeared.

For an instant I felt like I was with the man I've always loved

and with whom I'd decided to have a family.

For an instant, Giulia?

It took me years to recover from my split.

He doesn't want you,

he wants the life he would've had

if you two hadn't split up.

- Carlo, you want to talk to Sveva? - No, with you.

- I left you two messages. - I know. What is it?

- What happened to our lunch? - I can't now.

- Why are you so cold? - I really can't now, sorry.

What did he want?

Nothing.

Hi.

Come in.

He's in his room. He's nervous.

He's very scared.

It'll be fine, don't worry.

Cookie, he's here.

Hi.

How are you?

Want to go to the zoo to see some animals?

How nice, do you want to go?

Okay.

Let's go then.

Have fun.

Daddy's here!

- Why is he here? - I don't know.

Daddy!

- How are you? - Fine.

- I need to talk to mommy. - Sveva, go up with Simone.

- What do you need to talk about? - Go, I'll call you later.

I will, really.

- I'll be up in a minute. - Let's go.

Okay, you want to know how things stand?

Whatever happened between us was a mistake

which I regret.

It happened because we still love each other,

despite the pain we caused each other.

- You really think I still love you? - You said so.

It was just sex. I liked you yesterday as much as I did 15 years ago,

but all I feel is resentment.

- Calm down. - I am calm and I love myself.

I know what's good for me and what's not. And you're not.

- You're just scared. - Yeah, right.

I am terrified of you and your sweet talk.

Please, go back to where you came from.

I'd rather have a normal, boring life.

I never want to feel insecure about my man. I want to trust him.

I'd remember all the lies you told me each time we made love.

The anger I'd feel would just make me want to hurt you.

You'd feel the same, we'd be back at square one.

It's all over.

If that were true, we wouldn't be here.

No, you'd be at home with me and your daughter!

Instead we're here on the pavement

spitting venom at each other.

You have to pay for your mistakes.

Once, in the middle of a forest,

I saw an anaconda eat a crocodile.

- A crocodile? - A whole one.

The anaconda was huge, at least 10 meters long.

That's 3 times the length of this boat.

- That's not true. - But it is.

Ask Paolo if you want, he was there.

A whole crocodile?

It swallowed it whole.

You could see the crocodile in the anaconda's tummy.

We were speechless...

- Are there still tigers in India? - Unfortunately not.

100 years ago there were lots,

then they killed them all.

Because of Chinese medicine, to make tiger balm, I think.

That too.

- Who told you that? - Mom.

I wonder what it's thinking about...

It looks just like us!

What is it?

When you left, I wasn't even one.

I was scared...

I was scared of my responsibilities

and I was very unhappy with your mom.

I'm really ashamed of what I did.

I've learned to live without you.

I know.

Can I go home?

- But we still have some time left. - I want to go now.

- I said we'd be back at 6. - I want to see my mom. Take me home!

Hi.

I can't live without you.

You're the person I've loved the most

and you're also the worst person for me.

Will you take me back?

Come in.

Why do we feel the need to love? Being loved is simpler.

And you don't suffer.

If someone loves you unconditionally you regain your self-confidence.

What else do we need?

It's good news.

Your test results show that everything's normal,

even your red blood cell count has stabilized.

It was all probably caused by excessive stress.

- Just stress? - Probably.

There's no medical explanation?

Some people have check-ups every 6 months, everything's fine

then 2 days later they have a stroke and die.

Medicine has its limits. Life hangs from a fine thread.

That's life, we have to accept it.

I gave her everything she wanted.

What should I do now?

Have you ever questioned yourself?

I don't understand, sorry.

Have you ever really listened to your wife?

I'm here with you because my wife asked me to come.

That's listening.

I did everything she asked me to.

For 6 months I've talked about my mom, my dad,

and even my sister!

Now the bitch has left me for someone else.

What should I do?

You have the answers, and my money.

What must I do to get her back?

If you're certain you gave her all you could,

why are you so upset?

Carlo!

- So is everything okay? - I'm fine, it was just stress.

Don't scare us like that again! We've got a meeting in an hour

Prepare a file with what we agreed.

- They're all terrified. - What's new?

See you later.

Even when everything's going well

why do you still feel like something's missing?

Does the life you didn't live cause this void?

Or is it the guilt you can't shake off?

"Whales aren't baptized, who are you calling Moby Dick?"

Mom, is there no school tomorrow?

- No, it's Saturday. - Can we go to the beach?

You want to go to the beach?

Okay.

Will you come too, Paolo?

Me?

- You want to come? - Yes... if you want me to.

I do.

Okay, Paolo will come too. We'll all go to the beach.

Breathe in.

- Is everything okay? - You can get dressed.

You suffer from varicocele.

Have you ever had a sperm motility test?

I don't understand...

Can you give me a sperm sample so I can test it?

I think so.

- Come on, leave him alone. - Don't worry, I don't mind.

- I have a kid too. - How old is he?

- 10. - Same as him.

- What's his name? - Matteo.

- What are your names? - Diego and Anna.

- You live around here? - No, in Rome.

I came to San Galvano for a delivery.

- Can we go and play? - Yes, but we're going soon.

Don't go too far!

It's nice here.

We didn't go to school today, we had a day out.

Their father had a house over there.

They used to play in the square, so they know everyone.

The house is no longer there but they still like to come.

- Sorry, I'm chatting away. - That's fine.

I'm so cross that sometimes I just can't stop talking.

Even to strangers, I'm sorry.

It's no problem, really.

Want to know why I'm so cross?

Sure.

6 months ago I found out my husband had another life:

He had another family, another woman, another home...

2 other children...

and another cat.

When he realized I'd found out, he disappeared.

The kids haven't seen him in months and neither have I.

- He had 2 families. - One in Paris, where he worked.

And one in Rome with me.

Don't ask me how he did it, it's a mystery.

Either he's a genius or I'm a fool...

but I never suspected a thing.

- Sorry, my name's Adele. - I'm Adriano.

I can't get up... Want to join me?

But I'm still alive!

I've decided to turn over a new leaf.

If I become cynical, stop believing in the future...

and stop dreaming...

he'll have won and I won't allow that.

That's right!

- That's right... - I won't allow that.

How often do you see your son?

- Whenever he wants. - That's great!

We thought that would be best for him.

I'm taking the kids to Villa Borghese tomorrow.

If you come with your son, they can meet.

Why not?

Kids, get in!

We have to go.

Want to take my number?

Yes... of course.

Well? Why did you bring me here?

Because this is where we met and because...

this is...

where I want to ask you if you want a child with me.

- A child? - Yes.

I'm not ready to have more children.

Do you love me?

- Do you love me, Giulia? - I really care about you...

Yes, I love you.

Sooner or later the time will come.

What a pretty picture!

- How did you and mom meet? - You know.

Tell me again.

The first time we met was at university.

When we met and shook hands

I knew she'd be your mom.

- So why did you split... - Can I take a photo of you?

One, two...

This way... smile.

You look so beautiful!

Thanks.

Here.

When was it produced?

One hour or so ago, okay?

Yes, that's fine. I'll have the results on Monday.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

Listen...

I'm healthy, I've never had any problems.

- Call on Monday, okay? - Sure.

Goodbye.

Hi!

- Hi, kids. - Where's your son?

- He couldn't come. - Why not?

He had a fever, his mom kept him home.

I'm sorry.

I wanted to see you all the same.

I'm glad. Let me park.

Of course.

Is it true that you and my dad saw an anaconda eat a crocodile?

Sure, did he tell you?

Yes, but I didn't believe him.

We were near this big river,

and we saw some huge splashes.

Suddenly a 20 meter serpent came out of the water.

It was fighting with a crocodile 3 times my size.

- Did he eat it? - Whole.

He swallowed it whole.

- Could you see the crocodile? - Yes, in the anaconda's tummy.

What's your real story?

My real story? Why?

I get the impression you have a secret.

Don't deny it, I sense it.

Your eyes are hiding a strange sort of sadness.

We had a great time today.

I want to come and live with you.

Is this your answer?

I'd like you to come live with us.

- So what's the problem? - I can't trust you.

Your moods change all the time.

When you're happy, I'm in heaven but when you're down, I get down.

I have a son, I have responsibilities, I can't take risks.

- You are scared. - No, I'm realistic.

Let me stay here tonight.

- No. - Why not?

First I need to see that you can look after yourself.

Otherwise how will you take care of us?

- I'm doing all the right things. - Don't shout, he's asleep.

Why can't I live here?

Paolo, I don't trust you.

I need you to be reliable.

If you looked after me, I'd be fine!

I've been looking after you for the past year!

- Why don't you love me? - You're nuts, don't shout.

You're doing exactly what I was afraid you'd do!

- Get out. - You're provoking me!

Please, get out!

Mom!

- Marco. - Is it a bad time? Sorry.

What is it?

- What's that music? - It's Lorenzo on the piano.

His name's Lorenzo.

Listen, I've been thinking.

Why don't you come back?

Just come back.

I'm...

I'm dying without you.

- I'm not coming back. - If you don't, I'll come there...

and I'll drag you home by your hair.

- Don't be a Fascist. - Where are you?

Tell me. I'll come there...

and I'll kill you and that bastard who's playing the piano.

Tell me where you are, I'll come there.

I'll kill you, him and then myself!

Please, go to sleep. Goodnight.

Veronica, where are you?

Where the fuck are you?

Where the fuck...

- Here I am, sorry for the wait. - No problem.

Well...

What do the results say?

- I like them, I've just never ridden. - Now's the time.

Shall I try?

- Okay. - Put your foot in the stirrup.

- Hold the saddle and pull up. - Then pull up.

Wow!

- Get off my horse! - Who the hell's he?

- Get off! - Help!

I'll kill you, do you understand?

- Who the hell are you? - Leave him alone!

You're hurting me!

- You're hurting me! - Stop it, you're killing him!

How old is he?

- How old is he? 12? - He gives me what you never did!

- Veronica, run! - I'm talking to my wife!

- She's not your wife anymore, jerk! - Come back, I'll forgive you.

- But come back. - I'm never coming back.

I did the tests you wanted me to do.

I...

have slow sperm motility.

- Maybe it was my fault too. - What does that change?

That I could've done something had I known earlier.

- I could've given you more. - I can't see you like this.

I'll still wait for you.

Paolo!

I brought you some dinner.

Did you hear me?

You're not well again? Did you take your medicine?

Yes, I took it.

Thank you.

Don't worry.

I can't go on living, mom.

I just can't.

- Are they for me? - I picked them myself.

Come in.

- Yes? - I'm sorry I overreacted last night.

Don't worry.

I'm a wreck. You're wasting your time with me.

- You stopped taking your medication? - What do you want?

Why did you call? To tell me I can live with you now?

I can sleep over tonight?

- You've stopped your medication. - Are you ready to live with me?

No...

Why have we been together all this time?

Because I love you.

I was hoping I'd help you.

- So it was out of pity! - No!

Well that's what I think, so that's what counts!

Actually, I think you've been seeing someone else

and since I can't control my moods,

you did the right thing, you whore!

Adriano knew the score when he left.

He realized you're an egoist and that you're no good!

Don't call me again, got that?

Don't ever call me again!

What the fuck did I say?

- Paolo, what happened? - Everything's okay, mom.

They're fast asleep.

Where were we?

You were telling me about the German guy

that came into your tent by mistake.

The Kraut that thought I was his girlfriend.

- You want to know about me? - Yes, I do.

I walked out when my son was one.

I didn't see him or contact him for 10 years,

until I came back, about a month ago.

Now of course, he doesn't want to see me.

I can't blame him...

but I'll wait.

And I'll keep on waiting

because I know things will improve.

Everything I told you about us and our relationship...

was a lie.

- You weren't expecting this, I know. - No, I wasn't.

I even tried to smuggle 2 kilos of cocaine out of Columbia.

I was caught at the airport and jailed for 2 years.

If you don't want to see me again,

I'll understand.

I really like you, Adele.

I didn't want to

lie to you or make you think I was someone else.

Now I just want to get my life back in order,

start again,

and be a better person.

Can't sleep?

I don't feel well.

Maybe something I ate...

Are you all right?

Yes.

My period was late so that's why I came.

- Veronica... - Is there something wrong?

You're pregnant.

Pregnant?

It's a miracle, given your situation, but it's true.

- I'm pregnant... - Listen, that's the heart beat.

- The heartbeat? - Yes.

Be happy you've been blessed.

Thank you, doctor.

If you quit this month you get 822 euros severance pay.

That's nothing!

That's all right.

Hi.

What's wrong?

Something amazing has happened.

What is it?

I'm pregnant.

- What are you saying? - I'm pregnant.

- By who? - By who? By you!

Me?

I heard the heartbeat. I can't believe it.

You told me you couldn't have kids.

That's what I thought.

Listen...

I'm not ready to have a kid.

- You needn't worry. - I needn't worry?

We've only been together for a month!

- I've wanted a kid for 7 years. - I don't give a damn!

Don't expect anything from me, I don't want a kid.

You said I was the love of your life.

You are, I just don't want kids.

So what am I supposed to do?

If you want me... I don't know.

Resolve the situation, it's not my bloody problem.

How can you say that?

What the hell did you get me into?

- This is a nightmare. - You're right.

This is a nightmare, for me. Not for you, for me.

I thought you were sensitive.

I am what I fucking am!

Sorry.

I need to be alone to think.

I need to be alone.

Go.

- I have to go? - Yes, go.

Open up!

- What the hell do you want? - Open up!

You bastard, you can't treat me like this!

Speak for yourself, bitch! You tricked me!

You came here because your husband couldn't do it?

You'll never see me again!

Ever.

- I don't give a shit! - Son of a bitch!

- I don't give a shit! - Don't touch me!

Bitch...

Excuse me, your wife's on line 2. She says it's urgent.

Okay, I'll take it. Excuse me a moment.

Yes?

Veronica, what is it?

- Can I come home? - Of course.

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

Well...

I'll finish here then come home, okay?

Okay, bye.

Bye.

- My wife. - They always want something.

Giulia?

Open up.

What's happened?

I need to talk to you.

What is it?

I'm pregnant.

You're pregnant?

- Are you sure? - Yes, I am.

You can't be.

I am.

That's amazing.

It's Carlo's.

- It's whose? - It's Carlo's.

Carlo's...

What the hell are you saying?

- How many times did it happen? - Once.

- Where? On our bed? - Please, Simone.

I want a kid and you did it with him?

I didn't plan it, it just happened.

Sveva...

- How long have you been there? - You're pregnant?

- Who told you that nonsense? - You did.

I was talking about a friend of mine that's pregnant.

- Does daddy know? - No!

Promise me you won't tell anyone, especially your dad.

Will you tell him?

It's important for this to remain a secret between me and you.

Understood? Promise me.

- I promise. - Okay.

Can I go and play now?

Go on.

He's not the man I'll grow old with, but I did love him.

Breaking up with him wasn't easy.

You realize the mess we're in?

What should I do? You tell me.

What happened?

Can I stay here for a few days?

This is still your home.

Want something to eat?

No. Is it okay if I sleep in the guest room?

Of course.

Let me help you.

I can manage.

Please, tell me what happened.

He wasn't the person I thought he was, I was wrong.

You've really disappointed me.

I didn't think you could lie to me so well.

Sorry.

Who is it?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Help me.

It's my fault.

It's my fault.

It's my fault.

It's my fault...

I couldn't do anything...

I couldn't help him!

I'm leaving.

I'm going to Brazil.

I've got 2,300 euros. That'll do.

Paolo gave up, that's when he started losing.

I want to live life to the fullest.

I'm not giving up.

Once, we were studying at my house and my cousin came by.

He said to me: "She's the love of my life! Marco, what's so funny?"

We were 15.

I shouldn't say this... I shouldn't even think it

but we were getting used to his death

like it was natural and inevitable.

It could have been any of us in his place,

or maybe all of us.

That's why we felt lucky. We were still alive.

How did it go?

I've got to take Sveva to school.

Was he there too?

You told him that I know everything?

Please.

You're hurting me.

What is it?

I'm pregnant.

It's true, I'm pregnant.

I'm pregnant.

Mom, when will your baby be born?

Honey, you promised. This has to be our secret.

- I want a little brother. - Sveva, stop it.

Tell me when he'll be born.

Here.

Go.

- Hi. - Hi, Sveva.

This is what we've always wanted.

Why did I do such an awful thing?

Don't...

Don't say anything.

Who is it?

- Giulia. - Anna.

- Is Carlo here? - Yes, come in.

I'll tell him you're here.

Giulia's here.

- Giulia? - In the other room.

What happened?

We need to talk, it's urgent.

- Did something happen to Sveva? - No, she's fine.

Come sit down.

Excuse us.

What is it?

I'm pregnant.

Pregnant?

It's yours.

Mine?

I'm going to the doctor today to sort it out.

After that, I don't ever want to see you again.

This is the last mistake we'll make together.

I only told you because Sveva knows. I wanted to tell you first.

Wait.

I love you like the first day we met.

I don't. I hate you for all the pain you're still causing me.

I'm going now.

No, I'll go.

He's still in love with you.

In fact, he always has been.

I've been here too long. I'll get out of the way.

Bye, Giulia. Nice meeting you.

You should think twice before divorcing, for your own good.

Go and tell her that I'm going.

Wait.

No, enough.

Enough, my ass!

Sorry.

Giulia, wait!

Let's start over again, no mistakes this time.

No more lies, we'll be partners till the end.

- Stop. - You ruined my life.

No more talking.

Do you ever listen to our song?

We never had a song.

I know I'll love you

For the rest of my life

Wherever you are...

What happened to you?

You're soaking wet.

Get undressed or you'll catch your death.

I never stopped loving him.

I knew that all along.

I didn't.

You can't stay here.

- And Sveva? - What about her?

I helped you raise her for 3 years, now I have to leave her like this?

Sorry if I'm not the person you thought I was.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

It's when we forget the simple things

that we make the worst mistakes.

Hi.

They'll think we're nuts.

Let them think that.

Here we are,

together again.

Like a spiderweb that remains intact after a storm.

Life doesn't always give us things the way we want them.

But it's okay as long as we get them somehow.

They say your forties are the best.

Others say your fifties.

And others say you only really start living life in your sixties.

It's a girl!

Maybe it's true that we only die if we don't put down roots.
