All language subtitles for The Mass Is Ended. 1985

The mass has ended

Lord, bless those alliances.

These newly weds will
wear them as a sign of fidelity

in respect of your wishes and Serenity.

May they always live
in a mutual love.

In the name of Christ, our lord.

Amen - amen

Silvia, accept this ring
as a sign of love and fidelity.

In the name of the father,
the son and the holy spirit

Alessandro, accept this ring
as a sign of love and fidelity.

In the name of the father,
the son and the holy spirit

you can all sit down.

Alesandro and Silvia.
You just received the sacrament.

I hope that you are both aware of it.

I don't really know Alessandro.
But not Silvia.

I know her since a long time.
Silvia isn't a bad person.

She is not bad,
like some may say.

This sacrament oblige you
to an absolute fidelity

that only death could undo.

I wish you both to live in Harmony

which is of great virtue,
an immense gift.

Never be sad!

Preserve this joy,
may you never loose it.

I am asking you three things:

One, reciprocal fidelity.

Two, children's education,
and three, reciprocal fidelity again.

Quiet.

Here.

And Simon? How is he?
Where is he?

As always.

He's studying eagles on the mountain.

I really like Simon.
You too, Nicola?

Oh yes. He's a brave man.

Why don't you get married?

This one is for you.

Double portion!

After so many years,
far away from home...

They should of given you a
village closer, more on the center.

You got send to the suburbs?

Yes, it's quite far.

Uhm.

You're having shelter, right?

- Yes, unfortunately
- You don't like it?

No, no.
I haven't seen it yet, but...

We're good here too!

Dad, I'm leaving.

I'm bringing Valentina at her work.
Everything's alright?

I was thinking of universal love.
Does it exist?

What do priests think of it?

Us, priests...
Believe it does. And me too.

And Simon.
When did you last saw him?

It's here that I work.

Anh! It is not a very cozy place.

What kind of people come
to a center of mental hygiene?

People who are not well.

And here, they get worse.
Can you paint some colors...

They promised us a new
building a long time ago.

A month? A week?
When did you last saw Simon?

You're not answering?

See you tomorrow.

Valentina... listen.

How do you do it?

You're half-way on the mountains.
Is he coming from Rome?

Valentina,
don't do like the others.

Build something solid, okay?

This it is the answering machine
of the 3965216.

I'm home but I do not want
to speak to anyone right now.

If you feel like it,
please leave a message.

Saverio, open up! It's me, giulio!
Something's wrong?

I perfectly know that you're inside.
It's me, giulio!

Did you know that I became a priest?

Saverio?

Is everything alright?

It's really you...

Hi.

Good bye.

You're not inviting me in?

I was talking with Gianni.

Perfect, say hello for me.

- Giulio!
- Hi

dear Gianni, I don't know why
I am telling you this at last

I am sorry but the moment
has come, for you too...

I don't want to see you again.

So don't come back, don't call,
and don't write me anymore...

Like cesare always does.

He's inviting everyone
to a big reunion like old times.

You two go ahead, I'm not going.

I brought you the books of this month.

Well, I'm leaving. Bye.

We'll see each other at cesare.

Do you recall? Many years ago.
We had a common project

or more likely a common dream.
We were wrong!

And why?
We put our trust on mankind.

And mankind is nothing,
barely a dot. Giulio knows it.

From now on, I know it too. That's why I
wanted to reunite all of you close to me.

To tell you that I decided
to get baptized.

I want to become catholic,
do my first communion.

I want to see you all at this celebration.
This is a big day.

You need to think about it?

I doubt it,
it must be a surprise to you.

Be yourselves, quiet.
I will play for you.

How was the other priest?
Young, old?

Why are you laughing?

Why did he had to leave?

He didn't. He's living nearby,
on the other side of the street.

Father, it's futile.
There's no one there.

No one?

No.

Let's go see!

Maybe they don't know
the church has reopen.

They all go at the village next door.
It's much better there than this. One!

In the name of the father,
the son and the holy spirit.

Amen.

May the lord be with you.

And with your spirit.

My brothers, to celebrate with dignity
the mysterious saints,

let's recognize our sins.

Hello.

Hi, I was looking for Don Antonio.

He's here.
Antonio, you have a visitor!

The new priest!

Sorry, you're working...

I was passing the time.
Come on in.

No, I only wanted to talk to you...

We'll play later. Now, go read.

Problems at the church? No, no.

Well, yes. No one comes.

It's my fault.
I told you I have a child...

And that I wanted to marry
and because it happened...

Just like the others, you meet someone
that you just can't let go...

And it feels nothing without her.

Well, they are now all going
to the other church.

Will you have breakfast with us?

- No, thanks. I have a lot to do.
- Too bad.

Such a beautiful weather.
We're eating outside.

No.

Too bad, it'll be for another time...

They refuse to understand that
Lucia and Matteo strengthen my vocation.

Loving them doesn't prevent me
to love others as well.

Love can't be divided.
It doesn't diminish when

you give some to others.
Don't you think?

I never thought about it.

Why staying here? For the house?

Here, the air is good
and for my child Matteo.

- Ah, Matteo...
- Why this question?

Right here, in front of the
church, I don't know...

Ah, for the people and
children, right?

No, it's me. It's bothering me.

- Don't worry!
- Well yes, I do worry...

- I'll take these
- No, they're too old.

If you'd seen those at the church!

Listen, I'd like to talk
to you about Andrea. - Yes.

Did you noticed that he wasn't
at cesare's reunion?

- Yes, and why's that?
- He's in jail. Since a long time now.

- What did he do?
- They say he was part of a group.

What group?

Terrorist.
But we don't know what he's done.

- I had no clue.
- Gianni!

I told you, I'm not interested.

There's all the mao tse-toung,
all the Lenin...

An amazingly rare collection!

And these?

The congress act of albanese
communist party.

Free for you. The others,
I'm offering a 90% discount.

Put them there. I'm coming.

I think he's an excellent lawyer.

But I think you should go
see him in jail.

But why me?

Why you asked?
Because you're a priest!

Are you being treated well?

Yes. They're nice.

You do some sport, exercises?

Enough.

You want to tell me something?

This suit looks good on you.

- You don't want to talk?
- About what?

About the moment you decided
to become a terrorist.

No. I don't want to.

You remember our newspapers?
They were great.

No, I don't remember.

Andrea, what did you do?
I don't understand!

Here, I read a lot. Gianni sends me
books, but he never comes to visit me.

But I'm here!

You'll bring me back
some of the journals?

- They were really bad!
- No. They were funny.

Funny? I wouldn't say that.

You'll come back?

If you want.

Father, sorry to disturb you.
I'm andea's lawyer.

Hello.

- Can I talk to you?
- Sure

- he didn't receive you well, right?
- No

I have a hard time dealing with this.

He already did 6 years in prison.
It's a lot for his age.

He doesn't talk, doesn't say
anything about it, not even to me...

Is he innocent? Guilty?
Nobody says anything!

If only I knew!
I need your help father.

Talk in his favor during his trial.
Well, say anything you want...

You know, a friend priest
always does a good impression.

Don't abuse it!

- For once you kissed me.
- Yes indeed.

Mother, I almost feel like
coming back here.

As you wish. Your decision
will be ours.

Okay.

Listen to this: "Between the idea
and reality, the movement and action,"

"the shadow gets thicker"

Mom and dad are getting older,
I can't take it.

"It'll happen to us too
and you'll be laughing!"

"On that day, you'll be laughing
but you won't be able to let go of me."

"You're feeling lonely with your freedom"

"And that's why you'll come back".

Did you understand what
I meant by Jesus humanity?

Who can answer?

Let's listen to federico.

Jesus was sometimes angry. That is 'human'.
When angry, he was terrible...

He'd throw tables upside down,
scaring away vendors out of the temple.

Shouted against the demons.
He was strong and courageous.

More strong and courageous
then anybody else?

Of course.

But just before he got arrested,
at gethsemane with his apostles,

he said:
"Could you stay with me?"

He needed comfort of his friends. Why?

To get closer to his friends?

Why did he wanted that?

Because...

Yes, you go ahead.

He was feeling alone. He was scared.
Loneliness is scary.

So, I told myself:
I need to keep contact.

- You understand?
- Not really

and then, we only have one life.
A unique occasion like that...

Won't happen again...
But why aren't you saying anything?

I'm listening.

Without religion,
all is gray and sad. Baptism...

Is a celebration!
No inscription there.

Baptism is the entrance to society.
Civil funerals, it's ugly, sinister!

Let's not forget weddings,
it should be at the church.

- Although the church, the temple...
- Pass me the ball!

Saverio!

Ah, hello.

Hello. I called the lady downstairs...

Her apartment is flooded.

Let's put the flowers on the terrace.

I brought you some seeds.

Can you help me out?

Sure. What should I do?

Look what I just find back!

"The winter of our dissatisfactions"

- your poetry
- I burned them all

except these.

There. Now there's none.

You know what I'd like?
Scrape the walls, paint them white.

Clean the house,
wear my raincoat

at the dye shop...
What's stopping you?

Why go at the dye shop with a raincoat?

You want to tell me? For who?
You're not answering...

What's the meaning of life?
Life has no meaning.

- It's sometime hidden, but...
- Life is vulgar.

- But what are you doing?
- Going to bed

it's only 6pm!

I was there before you...

Mister, it's my place.

- You bought it maybe?
- No!

Don't touch my father!

No. Your father and I need to talk!

Sir. It was my place, you know.

Mister, wait a minute.

It was my place - yes!

You can't do that to me!

What is it? Why did you come?

- I wanted to talk to you
- Not now, maybe later

it's important. If you hadn't come back.
I would of wrote you.

You must find me reserved,
even a bit shy.

I look reserved, cold.

I seem unreasonable,
everything you want...

But I am transparent!
My face is an open book.

You, for example, what do you read?
At this very moment?

A year ago, I knew this woman
and fell in love with her.

Her name was Arianna.
She was my sister's friend.

- Since this morning, I'm living with her.
- And mom?

She doesn't know. I tried to tell
her but I don't have the courage.

You tell her - me? Me?

But how?

Can you explain how
you could do that...

There's nothing to explain,
it just happened!

I swear, I wasn't even thinking about it.
At my age, can you believe it?

She has at least 30 years less then you!

I know.

So what? Mister bellani proposed to...

His secretary. He's 76 years old!

What an idiot!

- Did you know about dad?
- Did he told you?

I want to know why you
haven't told me.

He left the house this morning.

If I had told you,
what could you have done?

How can this be happening?

Maybe it's love.

I found it at the house.

I was scared mom would read it.

A copy of a letter he wrote.

"My love, I found back my youth."

"Yesterday, it was spring.
When I saw you..."

"I thought of all the Springs and
autumns before we met."

"Who knows? Maybe we crossed each other
before. Where could it happened?"

"Maybe was I in a bus
and you among the crowd?"

"Now, I really got to know you."

"I saw you alone,
I had to know you and we spoke"

"bit by bit, I knew my life without you..."

"Was a life without joy."

"A life that didn't find
its purest expression."

"With you, all is different.
Everything is better."

"I want to change and I will.
"I feel more generous and able to do good."

Hello!

Come in please.

Where's my father?

At work. He works in the morning.
Come in if you want.

Those are beautiful colors!

- The place isn't...
- Want some coffee?

No thanks.
I didn't come for this.

The TV always stays on?

It's a bad habit, you know!
Does a lot of damage to it.

Look at the dust!

How long this book been here?
2 or 3 years?

Who wants to read it? Uh!

Your father will be back later.

No. It's not my father
I want to talk to but you!

Very well.

I want to speak with you.
I think it's very normal, no?

Yes.

I'm leaving.

You know, in confessions.
I hear so many things, so many stories.

And sometimes, I feel
I can understand people

and the problems between them.

Why one does this and the other does
that... why people hurt each other?

But everyone obey their own laws.

Something within us
that we can't understand.

And dad too, what do we know?
Maybe...

Maybe it's temporary?

Maybe it's only...
What do you think?

Don't cry please.

No don't cry, I beg you!

Don't cry!

Leave me alone!

Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing?

We're celebrating Matteo.

We bought nice gifts!

It's his birthday?

It's always his birthday!
You come and play?

No thanks, I can't.

I don't need anything.
I just want to watch.

I'm watching.
Do what you have to do.

Let's open the package

That's good.

- Ready?
- Ready to go.

I want the green car.

Of course.

- What do you want?
- The green one

no, he's watching.
You wait a bit.

I wanna play with you.

No, we'll passed the whole
afternoon doing this circuit.

No!

Yes! Go play cards, ball,
at whatever you want.

For 3 hours, it's ours.

- Okay, I'll give him my place.
- We'll play for 3 hours minimum!

He's having a difficult time.
His first erotic glances!

Yesterday, we were walking...

There was an add with
a breast naked woman.

Do you know what he said to me?
"Dad, does this woman has naked feet...

"Or wearing shoes?"
That's so cute!

Last night,
he was spying under our bed.

And the other day, at the garden,
there was a rooster and a chicken...

So he went towards them and when the
rooster came forward, the chicken...

Who are you people?

Sorry for being late, father.

It's for prenuptial classes.

Ah yes. True. It's here indeed.

- How many months?
- Seven and a half.

The countdown has started.

Yes dime.

My brother Albert got married
at the church of Don Vincenzo.

For their classes,
they showed films, slides,

conversations with psychologists.

But here we're talking about marriage
unlike...

Some feminist magazines who pushes couples
to have occasional affairs.

I want to, you know.
But these magazines...

People usually decide to get married

without getting to know each
other fully. It's wrong.

What do you propose?
The biblical knowledge like these two?

I don't understand.

Just kidding!

- Giulio!
- Hi!

Good bye now.

Giulio, he's Andrea's lawyer.

- Giulio! - No!
- Sorry father.

What is it?
You shouldn't have come here.

- About the trial...
- What about it?

It's in two days.
I added you as a witness.

So father, you know the accused?
You were friends.

I haven't seen him in 9 years.

How did you met him?

It was about 10 or 11 years ago.
We were working on a journal together.

- Political?
- Yes.

A man like you...

I wasn't a priest yet back then.

Too bad, you would of had a
positive influence on the accused.

Ah, is that a joke?

Great humor!
You're very spiritual!

Do not address the court this way!

When did you learn that
the accused was a terrorist?

Never.

Have you ever heard him talk about
some projects, things against the law?

Plans of urban destruction for example...

Yes, like everyone else.

What do you mean by
everyone else?

Back then, many people were
talking about these things.

But your friend went further
then just some talking...

We found a real arsenal at his place.

Tell the truth, father.
Have you heard him say,

I don't know, a name,
a target, something?

That's it, isn't it?

I didn't say that!

If you're planning a trap,
I'm leaving!

But what trap? Let's sit down.

Why did we asked him as a witness?

I would like to know!
What he is doing here?

We'll sing the mass in chorus?

Don't be an idiot! Understand?

That's enough!
Where do you think you are?

You're upsetting the court
and the accused.

Go back to your seat.

Instead, go away please.
Be nice, just leave.

Someone to share
the tiredness of life,

get up in the morning,
check if the weather will be nice or not.

With whom to talk about
shopping at breakfast.

All I need is a written list
of things to buy.

I'll go out and make the purchases
and then come back.

I can also cook.
I only need someone to be with me.

Anyone really.

Just anybody? You're talking about
anyone even a woman like Astrid!

I understand well,
you still love her.

Listen to what she was writing:
"When I left..."

"I was happy, I felt free,
far away from my fears."

You wanna come for a walk?
Very elegant!

Let's go, ok?

Yes. But where I want to!

He always stays longer then the others.

He can go on like this for hours,
slowly and he never stops.

More like a fish then a child.

- Could it be...
- Astrid's son

he arrived about a year after Astrid left.

She called and told me about it.
I don't even know who the father is.

It hurts me so much that
I decided to never see her again.

It's been two years since.

One night I phoned her
and it was him who answered.

He was talking! He grew up without me.
I didn't see his first steps...

If I were to live with Astrid again,

I know that it would end like this.
What to say to this child?

That we were in love,
but fighting all the time?

What will we tell him?

That's enough now! Get out!

Herel

- Hey!
- Francesco!

It's Astrid! Saverio!

Your father is an innocent man.
He always stayed home.

It's not his fault.

But not her! She stalked him.
Even killed him! I'm sure of it!

One day I'll tell her:

"You need to give him back!"

No, I won't say that.

I can't do such a thing...

It's not convenient at such age.

You need to learn how to live.

Why were you looking at me?

When?

You were looking at me
and saw how ugly and old I am.

No.

Not at all!

Sometimes, I'm watching you.
I see you being preoccupied, nervous.

Don't deny it, I've been
watching you for quite a while.

Tonight, I prayed for you.

By praying, I can do a lot for people.

Of course, you need to pull yourself
together and have a pure heart.

Tonight, I cried.

But later in my head,
the fog started to fade away.

And far away, I saw a light.

Do you know what this light is?
My real vocation!

Giulio, I want to become a priest!

No. No way...

Yes!

From now on, I'm prohibiting you
to come at the catholic class!

Good afternoon!

Hi - giulio!

We wanted to surprise you.
You came in too early.

So many years alone and you
can't take good care of yourself!

What a mess!
The washing machine doesn't work!

And your clothes?
Always at the laundromat?

I give it to my mother.

We wanted to talk with you.

We can never talk calmly with you...

Talk about what?

- Of you!
- Me?

We think about you, here, alone.

You shouldn't live like an hermit,
far from everything.

You say nothing but we know
that you're not doing well.

I'm doing fine.

You refuse to talk to your friends.
Aren't we your friends?

So how can we help you?

- Why do you refuse to be helped?
- What do you want from me?

If you refuse to talk about things
that bothers you...

We won't come to see you
anymore! Okay?

Hello.

Who's this? Oh, the lawyer!

Only two words. Can 1?

No. I have a busy day.

Two words...

No, I have a mass soon

and a prenuptial class.
Some other time.

Two words...

Good bye then.

I wanted to say...
Andrea's been release.

By lack of evidence.
He's free now!

Good bye.

You know what he said?

He told me: "Let me live my dream”

you heard me?

His dream!

He can't tell me such a thing!

I know, I did a lot of mistakes.
I was hiding him the difficulties of life.

I thought that he was fragile,

that he needed to be
protected from reality.

He was so affectionate towards me.

But when he'll return,
I won't be so stupid.

We need to talk.
Have a very long talk.

He'll be in love with me again.

Hello?

Yes, it's me Mr. director.

I couldn't come... yes, yes, yes.

It's the library.

Giulio, if I was leaving,
would mum suffer?

With Simon? It would please her.
And me as well.

No, alone. I want to live
without anybody around.

No one.
And there's something else...

I'm pregnant but I don't want
to keep it. I want to abort.

Simon doesn't know.
I want to leave him.

How can I tell him?

One day at the village,
a girl did this.

She was always thinking about it.

It's a terrible thing that
you can never forget. You know that?

I know.

You really don't want to keep it?

No.

If you do this, I'll kill you
and then kill myself.

Do you know how many
hunting birds are left?

Thirty!

The royal eagle, the falcon...

If we don't hurry,
goodbye to the raptors!

Without the raptors,
the serpents will grow in numbers.

I can't stand to see birds in cities,
they seem terrified.

In panic, they do their nest in cars,

or in abandoned theaters.

The seagulls eats fishes in the waters.

And why are you against
the serpents?

This viper is a delicate animal, very shy.

Simon, I have something
important to tell you.

Valentina is pregnant.
And she doesn't want to keep it.

Try to convince her.

You don't know your own sister?

If she already decided...

Please try! You hear me! Try!

Yes.

I'm confused.

I don't understand what's going on.

Maybe I've lived alone for too long.

Since I have my new church...

I can't work anymore,
I can't concentrate.

People live through so many miseries.
They come and see me...

They talk to me and then
I think about my own problems...

My sister is... or was...
With some kind of fool.

Sometimes, I refuse absolution.
Some people don't really repent.

Even sometime,
I would like to hit some of them.

Yes, I think about it quite often.

Isn't there any other way?

They only talk about sex.

Their sexual sins.

Because they know their venial sins.

They even take pleasure
to talk about them.

But the real ones,
the sins against others.

They never talk about them.

So why do they need me?

What can you tell them?

I understand less about them.

You want to go back
were you were. To go away.

- It must be nice to live here
- I just arrived

- ah, I thought...
- Not so long ago I was far away from here

above the arctic circle.

Near the Magellan Detroit.
You know where?

Vaguely.

A tiny wooden church...

Held by iron cables.

Why?

To prevent the wind to move it.

The wind is sometime so violent,
if you stay a long time outside...

You go completely mad!

Why were you there?

Someone had to be there. The people
living there are really suffering.

You were their priest?

I was their friend.

I was asked to leave
because of my age.

But I presented a new demand.

Before I die, I'd like to go back there.

Why did you tell Simon about it?

What are you doing?

- It's not of his business!
- Yeah, you would of told him

and then what?

Why do you have to act
like the others? Uh?

You do everything you can to suffer!

Know that being free
is not living alone!

The real freedom,
it's life as a couple!

You do not know what it is to be single!

But what are you saying...

I don't want to see you suffering!
You understand?

There's plenty of people who are in pain,
you take care of them!

Those who really suffer

and there's no one listening to them.

I'm trying to do this! But...

But you can't do it! Nobody can!

Why did you came back?
Don't you see...

You can't change anything!
What's your purpose?

When I came back,

I had decided to go back
to school. I really wanted to!

But I can't achieve anything!

One day, I offered mum an umbrella.

It's wasn't in fashion anymore.

Yeah, it's true. Why?

Bye - bye

Look who's there! Say 'hello!

Hello! Hello!

- See you!
- See you!

Lucia, this pie was delicious.

She did it.

You go with him at the gym?

No.

You have translation to do.

Another false excuse?
Like yesterday.

- Listen please.
- Don't fight.

I don't mind others fighting
but not you two.

I've come here to find calm
and happiness. What's going on?

Antonio. I don't know what's him
but he doesn't want to stay.

He can't handle this house anymore.

Maybe there's too much of my stuff.
This house is all made to your image.

Is she right?

Yes. Yesterday we had a fight
and then we made peace.

Last night, we made love
four times. Fantastic!

That's irrelevant. Is it
true, what she said? - Yes.

Ok, that's enough!

If you love each other,
you can live anywhere.

Well, I had enough!

Have you seen your outfit?
You think you're at the beach?

Look at you, wearing
a dress with slippers!

I'm exhausted. My feet hurt.

Your feet hurt!
You can't welcome people with slippers!

And if you invite me,
make sure you know how to cook!

I don't mind what I'll eat...

But the tortellini... yes.
They were disgusting!

And this soup with carrots and potatoes!
So gross! Where does she come from?

We've been cooking all morning,
right Antonio?

Yes, but you made it worse.

It's pathetic!
And him? What will happen to him?

- He's thinking
- You're proud of him?

He's a perfect little man.

Yes, he makes us very happy.

Your eyes shine every time
we talk about him!

You think he's the first
kid in this world?

You have some problems.

Problems? What problems?

This story is always repeating
itself in the exact same way!

He's not the first child
born in this world!

I don't ever want to see you
or talk to you again...

Or have any news
about you and the others.

Recently, I had tolerated it.
Now, I have enough.

I will never get out of here...
You and the others, can you please...

Forget that I exist?

The silence.
Giulio, you do understand me, right?

No, I don't understand.

You belong to a period
that I want to forget.

You remind me of Astrid.
And I'm tired...

Aren't you never tired giulio?

That summer, I wasn't well at all.

Why?

The usual reasons...

- Which ones?
- Sentimental reasons

ah, yes.

A love story that was ending.

I tried to kill myself
in the public toilets.

I wanted to die in a sordid place.

I slashed my veins...

Father, are you listening to me?

Yes, of course... but I think
you should talk about it to your parents.

Yes I tried but...
Talking to your parents,

loving your parents,
it's old fashion now.

Yes it's old fashion maybe
but it's very important.

Only them can understand you.
What can a stranger know?

- Yes, it's a good thing but...
- So...

I will absolute you. In the name of
the father, the son and the holy spirit.

I'm confused, giulio.

You need to help me,
like a friend would.

I don't understand anymore.

I miss so many things: The house,
the flowers on the terrace, my books.

Today, I saw your mother.

I asked her to understand me,
to support me.

I cannot be happy if she's sad.

You always think about yourself?

Giulio, I needed to talk to her
because I want a child with Arianna.

What?

I beg you, don't be like your mother.

Don't say no.

You can do some sacrifices.
Let me finish.

Lately, I've been thinking
about death... and I'm scared.

A child at my age, it's not a crime...

And Arianna has the right
to be a mother.

To have a child from the man she loves.

Stop it! Shut up!

Giulio. It's true, I'm a mess.

But at least, you can help me out.

Let go of me.

No, you're a priest,
you must confess me...

Give me absolution.
Confess me, giulio!

Enough! Enough! Get out!

Get out! Out! Out! Out!

- What's this?
- A paper I'm writing.

Read it.

"Dear dad. I live surrounded
by lots of people”

"put the one I love most is my dad."

"He's a small and strong man.
For me, he's a model."

"Maybe too much of a model.
To be honest, he's nice with me..."

"Because I'm his only daughter.”

Excellent.
It's a lovely paper you wrote.

Thank you.

I love all of you here!

- No, it won't work...
- What to say? Search.

- Hello - hello
- How did you get here?

For starter.
It was an idea from Gianni.

Let's ask the priest.
Wait, honestly...

Do you think this book
is suitable for a woman?

Sure, why not?

- We're good...
- Yeah, we're fine.

Don't you think it's too much...?

No. Take this one.
You don't need anything?

No, thank you.
Check it out, you'll like it.

- No, no, no.
- No?

No.

Then it takes this.
I hear you need something?

Why? Do 1?

- You go see your friends?
- Sometimes

if you wanna talk to me,
share your problems...

- I don't wanna talk
- Listen, Andrea...

It's always the same story.

- Same story? - Oh yes!
- Why do you always close this opportunity?

Because of the title.
The title of a book...

Explain it to me, we'll exchange it.

- It's not what I'm looking for...
- No, it's not what you want.

This book will please your lady friend.

C'mon on now.
If not, we won't charge you for it.

You know me.
I am a patient person.

I'm trying to understand...

Pardon me. I'm looking for a gift
for an 8 years old girl.

- Ah really? - Yes
- Why does it matter to me?

- Giulio!
- Bye - bye

I want to talk to you.
At home, something happened...

Sorry, I have an appointment.

- Where?
- At the theater next door.

- Can I come?
- Well, I'm meeting someone.

Stay here, I'll be back soon.

- It's cesare. He plays because he's sad.
- Good bye! - Bye

Hil

I need to thank you.
You did well to laid me off.

I was going to make a mistake.

I wouldn't of been a good priest.

We need people like you

with this sloppy look...

But capable to reassure.
You're good.

You force us to be different
and also be better.

- Do you know what I decided to do?
- No

I want to get married.

And it's you who'll do the
ceremony with all the friends attending.

It'll be so beautiful.
Will you do it?

Yes, of course. I'll do it.

Hi - one

Gianni! What you are doing to him?

What do you want?

Let's go!

Gianni!

Is it good enough? Go away!

Gianni!

Now, we'll kill you.

You know, you're a real bastard?

At the train station...

When you flirt in the toilets?
Don't you feel guilty?

You know when you fall so low...

Or too high, depending
on your point of view.

The women are pretty? Answer me!

Yes they are but they don't talk to me.

Really? Do you recall
the film with this chick

the most beautiful woman in the world,

where at one point
she swims in chocolate.

She was rolling in it, chocolate
all over herself. Remember?

- No - and you?
- I was only watching the chocolate.

Before you die,
tell me why you like men?

I feel my body reborn,
my pores reopens.

My wrinkles disappears,
my hair is growing back.

These two idiots,
what to do with them?

- I'm going to kill you!
- I'll recite Dante!

Which song do you prefer?
The paradise song?

I want to die and make
you learn something good.

"Glory to whom where all is exciting..."

"Plunge in and illuminate the universe..."

"In a not so far away place.
In heaven so you can shine..."

"I was and I live
incomprehensible things..."

No! These guys are nuts.

They're too stupid.
C'mon, let's get out of here.

Very well.

Hello?

What?

Why did you do this?
I'll never forgive you.

Remember the first time
we went into a bar...

We used to drink chantilly hot chocolate.

And that shop who was offering

a ball to children who would buy shoes.

I still have that ball, you know.

I was happy to go out with you.

I felt protected because you were there.

It's nice to be a kid,
without any kind of responsibility.

No one is asking you anything.

I remember, one day...

After playing ball with my friends,
we sat on the grass.

It was a long day and very sunny too.

A spring day that wouldn't end.

The sun went down
and we were exhausted.

While swimming, we looked
at the sky going dark...

Laying on the grass, in silence.

On that day, I was very happy!

At night, when I came home,
I would tell you everything as always.

You came all the way here...

And yet, you didn't want
to know how it would end.

Have you never had any idea
how much I loved you?

Why did you do this?
And now, who will think about me?

We're late, people are waiting...
We should hurry up!

- Uh?
- Hurry! - Yes

Can you help me please - yes

Thank you.

Valentina? Hi.

I can't stand living alone anymore.
I'm not able to do anything.

Come stay at my place
for a while, will you?

Yes, I know, it's time.
Good bye.

Father, the baby is born!
It's a boy!

I came back for the baptism.
Sunday morning is okay with you?

- What?
- The baptism.

I guess so.

Emmanuel, I baptize you
in the name of the father,

the son and the holy spirit.

Amen.

Look at such perfection,
such harmonious forms!

Look at these tiny feet!

May our lord Jesus who makes
the deaf hear and the mute talk.

Give us your grace
to listen to his words

and be faithful to you
in the glory of god.

Amen.

Look!

Hi giulio, it's Andrea.
I didn't confess...

It's not a must.

I learned that cesare is
getting married. And you?

- We don't see you anymore!
- I'm busy

you told me to come see you.

Yes but you come
at a very difficult time.

Do you recall when cesare,
saverio and you

were talking about changing the world
with dignity to those who suffer?

I was listening.

Your words seemed right.

But in reality,
no one did anything.

- Am I wrong?
- I don't know

doing something
demands some efforts.

Alright. You're the victim.
You're happy that I'm saying this?

- Yes - ok, are you finished?
- Not yet

recently, I though I was like you.

But then, the others
started to have children.

They changed their work and religion too.
I'm the only one who stayed the same.

I can't do anything.
I didn't plan anything either.

Why exactly?

You chose this.

Are you sure that you
got nothing to do with this?

By not feeling guilty?

Lord, bless those rings.

This couple will wear them
as a sign of fidelity

in respect of your wishes and Serenity.

May they live an endless mutual love.

- In the name of Christ, our lord.
- Amen.

Antonella, receive this ring
as a sign of love and fidelity.

In the name of the father,
the son and the holy spirit.

Cesare, receive this ring
as a sign of love and fidelity.

In the name of the father,
the son and the holy spirit.

You can sit down.

Cesare and antonella,
you just received the sacrament.

I hope you are both aware of it.

Your duty will be harsh.
It's not easy to love each other.

It's not natural like the love of a child.

The other day in confession,
a woman told me:

"Mon son, it's me who did it.
My husband, it's another women."

Why am I telling you this?

Why?

No one can be love as much
as his or her own mother.

I believe in happiness.

Life is made for happiness
and not for pain.

And solitude doesn't bring happiness.

That's why I'm happy for you.

That you decided to live
your life together.

My mother always liked celebrations...

And with one like this, she'd be here.

Valentina, do you remember,
she would buy us some nougat?

Half chocolate, half caramel.
They don't make these anymore.

In October, one day she came in

"guess what I just brought you!"
But we knew it!

They were the first
mandarins of the season.

These days, we can find cherries
and strawberries all year long.

What kind of memories
will the children keep?

I wanted to read you a
passage from the Bible

where it says...

Where is it?

I can't find it...

It doesn't matter because
I need to say my last goodbye to you.

I'm leaving...

Not very far but to a place
where the wind makes you crazy

and where they need a friend.

I can no longer stay here.

I realized that I can't
do anything for you.

I tried but I failed.

I hope you can forgive me.

My life is great!

Because I received a lot of love.
I was lucky.

- May the lord be with you
- And with your spirit

god bless you all. In the name of the
father, the son and the holy spirit.

The mass has ended, go in peace!
