A BORGEOIS DRAMA

Ah, it's you!

Did you take me for a client? Where are these two?

Nice move, two out of season!

Apartment 48

Men, women - or man and woman?

Man and woman, but he did not see them

I found the file, they have the same last name

Husband and wife!

I will tell you

I didn't hear the doctor come in

It's your daughter?

Yes. Sick too

Breathe

Father and daughter. I imagined a couple...

..with a double flu or a double cold

... or an upset stomach after a feast

We didn't have time to feast

Turn around... lie down

It is rare to find in couples...

... the same stomach aches

Woman can have an ostrich stomach

... and the husband has a tendency to ulcers

and vice versa

What do I have?

Rieh, the diagnosis is not difficult

Don't worry...

An acute rheumatism attack

Therapy is difficult because science...

... has only effective analgesics...

... but the disease remains

No remedy that attacks its essence

As an 18th century doctor would say

I would like you to examine my daughter too

What is your name?

Not here... we would disturb your father

Do you have children?

Six? A large family. I am an only girl

A large family has its problems

Why does this girl have a fever?

She was operated on for appendicitis

Here in Lugano?

In Geneva

As soon as we arrived we went to bed

It's annoying to get sick at the hotel

It's me... miss

Mimmina, who is it?

...the maid

She brought the doctor's medicine

This talkative!

How are you?

You were Sleeping?

I was drowsy

And your pain?

Go to bed

Shall we inaugurate the coffee maker?

...it's early...

But it is dark

Since we are sick. Where's the catch?

Here it is!

Three minutes and that's it

What about the coffee?

Of course I put it on!

As a housewife, you make a mess of it

I was born... 3 days ago...

... leaving this damn boarding school

"Damn"? You never told me...

You would have left me there anyway

The cups, the sugar!

It was going to overflow

Little, eh?

You like it sweet, I noticed it

A suele, otherwise I get fat

...another...

Since I was 7

... we stayed together 500 hours: 21 days

Is it a reproach?

No. How's the coffee?

I drank worse, if it makes you happy

Of course. This is the first that I make you

How good to have someone to take care of

When I wake up, I think: my daddy is here

It's like God too is nearer

God?

You do not believe me? Is that I feel... happier

Mêier Dieu and coffee!

Medication

The doctor is worried about one of his children

He is backward. He told me

... I gave him advice

Take your temperature

Good God, go to the other side!

You sound like the doctor! Old generation...

Are you comparing me to the doctor?

At least he is fat and not you

But i will watch you

I have to take care of you

You are a journalist, you travel...

... you eat little and you work too much

It shows...

Can I touch your head? My dad...

Ask everything from me and not from the maid

You are jealous?

I am the one who has to take care of you

We finally spoke...

... but I'm sleepy...

Do not look...

I have little temperature, I am not sick...

I leave half-open...

No, shut up

Low insinuations!

Don't forget the suppositories!

Spiritual: "low innuendos"!

Madame Ritter spoke like this

Don't forget the "low innuendos"

Talk about what "low innuendos" she needed!

Have you been to a boarding school or a barracks?

Come on, don't be a moralist

Can you put them on by yourself?

I heard a noise!

I dreamed...

...a nightmare...

You showed yourself like that!

Just a minute...

Can I ask you a question?

How do you like living here all alone with me?

The ace?????? ???? ent ??????????????

"Living" is a dream

We are passing through here

... the species...

I'm doing better: suppositories are working

And then... you are there

For the first time I am a father

I've never felt so much in company

Let's establish a modus vivendi

Me, I like to eat alone

It is a habit. Each in his room

I am against it, but I must obey

Let's discuss it...

I want to discuss but I also like orders

I am not a good father...

You're the. You haven't answered me yet

Do you mind being... without your friend?

I would have more than one or none

Does it bother you or not?

You are stubborn: the subject is irrelevant

I can go to the bathroom?

They're coming... my period, "good god"!

... I said it too...

Lock yourself up

I still do

Attending your "functions" is not very aesthetic

To live together, I must know your tastes

Tell me what you don't like about me...

... and I will correct myself

Get with a boy who could be her son!

She bewitched him: he wants to marry her!

What a story!

Isn't she married, with 3 children?

One in Italy, the oldest: 20 years

... a girl "placed" in Lausanne

... and the smallest in an oprhelinat!

They don't know who their father is

... and not even the mother knows it!

And my nephew wants to marry her!

My sister is going crazy!

What do you want to do there...

I know what to do!

I said to my sister: I'll get rid of it!

If we do not repatriate her, I will be very bad!

Is it home theater?

Poor girl, she's having a hard time

... but did you hear it all?

I can't even read!

You are not understanding for the misfortunes of others!

"Ams tram gram, pike and pike and colegram"

It is a difficult task:

to be the father after years of estrangement

This girl...

... mixture of shamelessness and innocence

... of unconscious provocation

... of obstinacy and availability

What I can't interpret

... it's this lack of curiosity for his mother

She asks me about my friends but not about her mother

Has she forgotten it? Yet at his death...

... she was already 6 years old

Something must have left him

Do you bet on your own?

I dictate to the tape recorder

An article?

Marks...

... on a novel

I'm proud to see you have talent

My comrades envied me

... even the imperturbable Thérèse

What a boiling point when you came: a writer is romantic

If they saw me paralyzed by my rheumatism

I don't like that you always denigrate yourself

Stop that!

It records...

I do not want

Let the maid do it

When I have my things... I'm nervous

Your mother polished the silverware

Who is the imperturbable Thérèse?

Your hand...

No, you are full of Sidol, it's poison

More delicate than a woman

Thérèse is of Italian origin, born in Switzerland

She's older than me, we were together

Now work in Gaul

I thought there were only students there

Most. I slept with Thérèse

We were sad to go our separate ways

She taught me so many things

... on sex...

She explained everything to me, even about menstruation

You wash your hands

So many stories!

I eat in my room?

You like to obey, don't you?

Let me do it...

How you must have suffered! Have you tasted the wine?

You ordered it

... to recover from my suffering?

The little dog is hungry!

For this time you can eat here

See how big he is?

Enough!

Did you want to know about the men?

It was you who wanted to tell me

Is it a funny subject?

When I like a boy, I get serious

... but I want to rub...

Has it happened to you often?

3 or 4 times. With Albert too, a German

but then I forget them

Thérèse catches her crushes

Do you feel more skillful?

Because you control yourself?

For me men are not a problem

I will never fall in love!

By rubbing you will stick to someone

... I put your affairs in order...

Stendhal... Lucretia...

... Montaigne: old books!

You should read them

Nice revolver!... Why do you have it?

He's been following me since the war

What are the caliber?

Tell me: I do 200 keystrokes per minute

...I can help you...

Take a novel and go to your room

5 more minutes

I want to know you: to know everything

Is that the reason for this search?

We'll have plenty of time. The thermometer!

It is done. But answer me

Were you happier before or now with me?

That you are peremptory:

Yes or no. White or black

Feelings are not "defined"

Mine, yes. For example:

I hate Frau Ritter, you don't. I love you

A father, we "like him"

I'm going to pee

Close the door

Yes sir!

And then, in bed!

Pee and go to bed like a kid!

Do you keep me with you? I won't bother you

Did you have moments of sadness at boarding school?

Not a lot...

Poor little girl...

... loneliness made you sad

I am also in the crowd

... if no one interests me...

It's different...

As a child, were you afraid to sleep alone?

I do not remember...

... I fell asleep suddenly

Give me back my arm

You don't suffer from insomnia like your mother

It is better

You don't look like her much, but you remind me of her awfully

Doctor...

He came last night!

The mail...

Someone remembers our existence

Still bad?

I am sorry...

One for you

Leave, come to bed

What do you say about my jellyfish?

"Jellyfish"? What is that?

Your daughter's breasts should interest you

The bellhop squinted at it but without conviction

Expose yourself less to the gaze of the bellboys

You speak...

... a problem!

... I also took pills...

It will change when I have sex

No? Thérèse had them like mine

Sexual activity trained them better

It's from her! I'll read it later. Are you coming or not?

It's late. And you have your bed

Last night you caught me off guard. That's enough

You will no longer take advantage of my weakness!

What would you like, Thérèse?

More sermons? What you annoy me!

You may have heard, I love you!

Ugly!

Is her name Hilde?

... I only read the signature...

You need a pair of slaps

What is wrong? You don't tell me anything about yourself!

Is it you who would be right?

I wanted to rub your back and you refused

I read because I have the right to know you

The right!

Forgive me...

...I love you!

Hit me!... you are right!

Enough...

Leave me like this

... I just want to be near my daddy...

Don't play your comedy yet

...However you want...

Do you know who will come?... Thérèse, my friend

... you will like it

"This morning she said to me: don't you need love?"

We didn't teach you how to take a bath

I can't: I have my sick praline

Cover yourself!

Then he has to listen to me

Half naked!

I was sure you would come to see us

I was passing by and I got the idea...

... to pay you a little visit

I am always so busy!

... hospital, visits, dispensary...

How are you?

...Let's see...

Let's start with you...

Don't waste the doctor's time!

Your case confirms a theory...

... that medical journals talk about

The biological complementarity of parents...

... with their children, proven by blood groups...

Other than that, you, practically...

... you are lucky in your misfortune:

you assist each other

Well done!

But it could cause psychosomatic inertia

And the organizations...

... get used to the pathological state

What's your sick son's name?

Gino...

This morning it seemed more serene

He smiled at me

Call me if you need me

Come in, I'm done

We are good here

How's your nephew's itch?

Are you kidding me? If you only knew how I suffer...

I was joking...

What about my daughter?

She got up and tidies her room

If I had a girl like that!

"Mimmina, who is it? I pity her bed ??????"

"I wonder why I recorded..."

"... the sound manifestations of his sleep"

"For the pleasure of keeping something"

"like the photos. Not just for that"

"To emphasize with different, more fun tones"

"the little scenes that take place here, or in the bed"

"I witnessed a traumatic event"

"I woke up feeling... a worry"

"a... restlessness"

"My daughter had her eyes closed"

"what was happening"

"normal thing at this age"

"was obvious"

"Something indefinable is happening in me"

"Sex has never obsessed me"

"I was petrified while my daughter..."

"... who performed instinctive gestures..."

I was sleeping and I did not notice it!

You hate me!

It's absurd!

I have a note mania, I didn't mean to berate you

You do not love me!

You know that I love you... don't be the child

You study me like an insect!

I try to know you

I only create problems for you! Returned to your Hilde

... I will do without you!

I can't resist it anymore!

I love you dad!

... you don't have the right to treat me like that!

...I only want you!

...I love you!

Help!

Thérèse, papa is passed out!

I'll get some water!

...he stands up...

What happened?

He must have slipped...

... he must have hit his head...

Curious way to get to know each other

She arrived...

How are you?

Little twist...

My father was also fainting: it's hereditary

He hurt himself, he must have hit his head

It's my fault!

...I am very well...

It takes more for a guy like me

You are her great friend

You arrived at the right time

...he fell...

A real disaster today!

Now that you're here, let's hope that will change!

Shall we invite your friend to dinner in the bedroom?

Excellent idea, eh, Therese?

I am here for you. Do you have a cigarette?

We do not smoke...

You may be in trouble, it feels like a lazaretto

We are recovering painfully

Getting to know us after a long separation...

... it was a trauma

I see him...

You sound ironic, with good reason

You have a room?

Just above

I offer you an exchange with mine

... you will be closer...

Are you kidding?

You would cause great grief to Mimmina

Guido, the usual wine?

Do you drink, Thérèse, or is it a vice that you no longer have?

I will arrange myself a little

How are you?

Good...

... it happened to me other times...

...a faintness. Maria Luisa is happy to have you here

Barely recovered I would like to walk with her

Cat "isolation" will end! I can not stand it anymore

Mimmina does not look like suffert

Years quíble thought of his free

At such a point I had the curiosity to know you

Guido, come...

What are you doing?

When did mum die?

What are you thinking now! Why are you here?

... there is your friend...

I want to know it, I don't remember it anymore

How old was she when she died?

30 years...

Double my age

Isn't that too loud? We are at the hotel

If it bothers you i stop

No i like it

Why... does that remind you of mom?

I do not see the link

It's soft music. Did she play the piano well?

Not like Rubinstein, but she got away with it

It's strange... this memory of your mother

... you say so little about it...

So as not to grieve, because you haven't forgotten her

Was she Spanish?

What do you remember about her?... you were so small...

Sometimes I dream of her, but I can't see her face

I may have a memory... a beautiful garden...

In Buenos Aires, we had one

Grandfather beat the chíen. he had a journal

I think I see it... big...

Mom takes the dog to protect him

Grandpa scolds her and mom cries

It is a probable dream. Do you remember anything else?

No, but I think about it often...

It is true?

... how she died. Do you know what i believe

That it was she who launched...

... the car against this wall

Absurd! It’s wrong that you’re doing your mother!

It is not a recent idea. I've always been convinced of it

We will no longer envy your head!

But you don't even know how it happened!

We weren't just husband and wife...

... but also lovers... you are old enough to understand

You were away for a long time

You also thought about that...

I was going to love it, at that time

And you didn't find her. She might have wanted to punish you...

What are you talking about!

... of your absence

Did you ever think that she could have committed suicide?

You could ask me about her

I was hoping I could talk about it with you

She was beautiful, full of life!

Those days I imagined a thousand things

Yes, even that she had committed suicide!

I went through the last days of his life

... his last hours...

I have not found that confirms your idea

You love it?

You are nervous

Not mei, the dress!

Anna sold it to me: she got pregnant

What a pleasure to see you again! Is the lady not coming out?

The young lady: it's my daughter

... she will recover quickly...

Get up, the clean air will do you good

... and find yourself a flirt...

I can not. Get out, you!

Yes, before it rains

Come on, come on...

He would scold me, I must obey

Come back soon

If you meet him, say hello: This is your first outing

Mimmina thought we were meeting

What mood was she in?

Good. She has a good character

Yes cheerful, almost too fiery

This cohabitation experience becomes difficult

Yes, in adjoining, communicating rooms

You too lived in the same room

It's not the same thing

You are a man, his father

With her, I was good...

Otherwise I wouldn't have shared his room

I was an assistant at the boarding school

Mimmina was studying at the denors, but we were so cheerful!

She feels your superiority, your maturity

I'm 8 years older than her

... she has worship...

Before. Now you are there

You permit?

She is more tender than a wife

You too are tender to call him

Yes let's take a walk

There is snow and I am not covered

Take a walk, but I'm freezing!

We took refuge at the bar!

It's better for him, isn't it?

You could have taken him...

Mario is a reserve asset: he must wait

Free yourself in

You can never know

Looking for nice physical secretary

How many times have I read them! Do I have a nice physique?

Too much for a secretary

I refused them: we only ask for the "pleasant physique"

It's better like that?

"I am a serious girl"

"I need to work: I also do... overtime"

"Are you hiring me?"

Your hands are frozen

I am public relations in a boat

A very "Swiss" occupation

I had a hard time finding that! This is not ideal...

There is always Mario

Said like that, it sounds mean

I'm still looking for love

Maybe we can live without

...you do not believe?

You do not like?

The panorama? I do not see it. How cold!

I'm hotter against you than in there!

... the grog was lukewarm...

Won't that hurt you?

A priest had fallen in love with me!

For Mimmina, you went to the cinema, me to Locamo

...it's better...

You're crazy!

I wanted to be even sicker!

Aren't you giving me enough scucis ?!

I went out hearing you coming!

I can not stand it anymore!

If you don't stop, I'll send you back to your side!

I hand in my father's resignation! We'll only see you at Christmas!

Why don't you understand me

...you do not believe me...

I can't take her to the sea...

... my manager called me back to Bonn

We will find a solution

The Italian Riviera is admirable

I often go there with my children on weekends

I know her like the back of my hand

Your daughter invited me to dinner with you

You did not know it?

No, but I'm happy

A change of climate would do him good

... psychologically too...

Monogamous in what sense?

I saw that when my wife...

... left me alone on earth

Have you always respected... his memory?

Scrupulously

7 years!

You are yellow, exuberant and that surprises you

But when we weighed down a life together

... sharing joys... pains...

... if wife disappears, she is implacable

We no longer find such a communion

... This complementarity...

... moral and also physical

... created in so many years!

A woman can attract me...

... superficially: it's the illusion of a moment

... but when I approach

... nothing is left

To illusion follows a disillusion and then...

...I give up

I have read that there is a breed of monogamous doves

It belongs to the species of homo sapiens!

... it's not a dove!

A pigeon!

I understand you. And I drink to your monogamy!

Don't tell me you're monogamous too!

Just to drink, I join you

It's late! Another visit to do! I'm off!

The stirrup blow!

This is my room, not the exit!

Do not bother... I am very lucid...

I'm tired... go to bed too

Say hi to your father for me

Nice, this doctor

But with his monoagamy, his veins will burst!

Shall I leave them to you?

I don't smoke anymore, haven't you noticed?

Yes, I thought it was because of your father

It's yours

... you let it down...

Excuse me for tonight

You slept?

Do you think...

You are a little crazy

Because I'm looking for your friendship?

You already have it

It's not easy to get your attention

... and not just your curiosity

The game is a return to childhood...

Never been on a plane!

"It has been a long and sad day"

"I was alone, and then the doctor came"

"I was thinking of you, and you weren't coming back"

"So I wrote to you. I would like to do it often"

"Come back quickly, my life"

Have you read it? Are you angry?

Why such a letter?

From college, you wrote to me differently

Here, I cannot find the Mimmina that I knew

... a cheerful, joyful girl...

Your loving expressions are not right

They don't apply to a father... I don't like it

I do not like it

I will sign them...

... Therese, or Hilde. Like that, you will love them

You can't replace other women

... do you want to understand it?

You love others

That does not make any sense...

I love you like a girl

I had a lot of women

and I loved them. It has nothing to do with you

Do you mind if I smoke?

Let's talk as friends, as before

Mario left you? You were so connected...

No, it's me who let go

... with men, you shouldn't be possessive

You said living with him was wonderful

I remember

You didn't want to leave him even when you complained about being late.

Pleumicher, me? Never

You, you worried more than me

Have you been with at for a year?

Two, at first nobody noticed

I do

You can't hide nothing from me

So don't separate him from me

You don't talk about Mario anymore...

... who can separate a father from a daughter?

Only now have I learned to love

... before, I didn't know...

I was happy when he came to see me

... or when we went on vacation. Now it's different...

Don't get between us!

I do not understand you!

What does "not get in between you" mean?

You are his daughter, but he can only think of you!

... you must heal and resume your studies...

But my father works in Bonn!

Would you like to go there too?

Or you? There is already a certain Hilde

Me in Bonn?!... You're crazy, you have a fever!

I am 37. I am lucid

I can't talk to him. I will take two steps

Are you stuck there?

This is how you want to win my tenderness?

Do you treat me like that? Can't you see that I'm in pain?

...you are happy?

Do you think God is happy?

... I've been wanting to ask you for days...

I only love you but I don't have to show it

... and you can't just think of me!

In the name of heaven...

... how can I only think of you?

You refuse a life outside of mine!

... and you treat Thérèse badly too!

It is she who is worth tearing you away from me!

I trusted, I loved her but now I hate her!

Alright... so I'm leaving

I absolutely have to go. Did you say goodbye to him?

She hung up on me

I'm worried, I don't know how to help her...

Neither do I

The doctor is a true friend

He's up there with her. Can you wait for me?

I wouldn't want to stay here...

Ultra-violet rays... sea air, iodine...

... and above all... freedom...

... of thought... of movement...

Listen to me, has the doctor spoken to you?

The idea of ​​sending you to the sea is his

In Comogli, in a pension

It is a picturesque place...

... there are 3 of my children...

I will come to see you from time to time

And while waiting to leave...

... I could keep you company...

You heard?

I'm only leaving tomorrow...

I have to go to Bonn, have you seen the letter?

I could be in trouble if I didn't go back!

And me?

Realize that I am an employee

This is my reality, and also yours

I was called to order

You leave?

Yes, since I speak and you don't listen to me

During this time, I will explain the treatment program to him

I want to see it bloom again!

I could take a taxi

I too am running away

... you don't know what she is capable of...

Our one-on-one is painful

You did not give me your address

I don't dare lie to him too much

To Hilde either?

Where are you going?

I don't just serve you to heat up

So am I in your hands?

I'm fascinated by your sweet hypocrisy

To an egotist, we can't even ask

... friendship: it engages too much

You thought I wanted to tear you away from Hilde, from your daughter

... to your world, to your habits

I was aggressive. You were scared

The address, or I'll tear your eyes out!

Mine. Don't throw it away

I regret that Mimmina's jealousy

... got between me and her daddy

You are always dearer to me

thank you for telling me

I had not put on underpants

... for this last farewell, in this car...

Here we are...

No. So that you believe in my friendship

Excuse me, I too complicate things for you

Come with me to the station. But don't come in

Turn around, fly to your Mimmina and amen!

Don't go up there...

... your daughter got hurt...

...It's not that serious...

It's an accident!

... don't think about anything else!

... She was packing the suitcases...

Where is she?...

At the clinic...

... was she alive?

Of course... I will accompany you...

Mimmina, why!

She took the gun by mistake!

I heard a bang... and moans...

... on the bed... there was plenty of blood and she was calling...

Who is that?

I did not understand...

Where is she!

We prepare it...

... for the intervention...

... we are waiting... for the chief doctor...

I was with her an hour before

She was normal, we talked about my son

... she was very interested in her illness...

Is there hope?

Calm down, I don't believe the vital organs are harmed

Here is the chief doctor...

I'm going to talk to him... I have the right to know!

You just have to wait

"The echo of that detonation..."

"... and these obsessions still resonate between these walls"

"How can the idea of ​​suicide arise..."

"... of the impossibility of being understood and loved?"

"At the end of Morselli's novel..."

"... we can see the possibility that Mimmina will escape"

"Guido, that is to say Guido Morselli, did not escape"

"He committed suicide in Varese in 1973"

"In the solitude where he conceived his work"
