THE WINDOW IN FRONT

You've been weird since we left the market, what's wrong?

Nothing! Does there have to be something wrong?

We've been out for an hour and you haven't said a word!

We got the groceries, came downtown and you're silent!

If you're mad at me, say so. Stop wearing that face

I'm not making a face, you're the one who's always pissed off

Let's go over there

If I'm mad, I don't shut up and hold it in like you!

Oh sure, you're always right, I forgot

I'm not always right, but I am this time

Come on, you like to fight

You could stick up for me just once!

You made a scene because she cut into the line

- But she was ahead of us! - When I tried to apologize,

she jumped on me like a maniac and you kept quiet!

What was I supposed to do?

You don't see the face you make when I talk to people

- You're ashamed of me - What are you talking about?

You were screaming. Even the cashier said you were wrong

Did you see how she pointed that pencil at me?

Yes, but you didn't need to tell her where to shove it

Okay, maybe I went too far. Then she asked the Romanian

if she had enough money to pay. What a racist!

Listen, put that money away. There are people around…

He's lost. He can't remember his own name

Maybe he's got ID.

Do you have an identity card? No, not money, identification

- What about in his pockets? - What, should I frisk him?

I'm very confused…

I don't remember anything

Put your money in your pocket

Give it a minute, you'll remember

- We can't just leave him! - What can we do about him?

He's following us!

- He's not following us - Yes, he is!

Don't worry

We'll take you to the police station near our house

They'll know what to do

You know how many people get lost? A whole lot, right?

There's a game on TV tonight

What team do you like?

- Okay, so you don't like soccer - Stop it now!

Hey, can you give me a hand?

No, you stay in the car. I'll get it

- Ma, Martina broke my Game Boy - It's not true, Microbe did it

- Hurry up, don't stop to chat - Hi, kids

- I'll help, Mama, give me one - Martina, you're in my way

- Who's that man? - I have no idea, he's lost

You know Filippo and how he can complicate life

- Where did you find him? - Downtown

- Just what you need - Wait, don't pull me

Microbe, stop yelling on the stairs!

- Where's Papa? - Go watch TV with him

- Who was that man? - I'm in no mood, Martina, go

I don't feel like watching TV

Detergent on the right, all spray bottles on the left

This kid is getting more obsessive than you are!

Order makes life easier and doesn't make you waste time

You're the one making me waste time

I told you, go inside and watch television!

Martina, can you hear me?

I told you, I don't feel like watching TV

Was she born that way or did she grow into it?

I don't know

- Giovanna, he's undressing! - Get away from there!

He's almost naked! Come before he closes the shades

Will you stop that?

Okay, enough already!

Open up, Vittorio! Leave Luciana alone!

I'll call the cops this time!

Open the door right now!

Busybody!

I told you, I don't want you involved! Go away!

Mind your own fucking business, bitch, or I'll call the cops!

I'll have you and that illegal immigrant who fucks you arrested

Get out of here!

He was kidding

Giambo!

- Giambo! - What is it?

Vittorio called me a bitch

- He called you a dirty nigger - I'll take care of it

- He didn't say that! - He thought it! Be quiet!

Open the door, asshole!

- It's about time! - The game started, right?

Papa's home! Hi, Papa!

Will you eat with us or take your plate next door?

Good evening

- Filippo! - I'll take him after the game

I don't believe it! You brought him back here!?

There were too many people, we waited an hour!

They want to know how I found him and bullshit like that

- There, only one point! - What an imbecile…

Eat

- Would you like some more? - Yes

- Mama? - Why are you awake?

Maybe Simone is dead

- Simone? - The man in there!

- How do you know his name? - He told me

He got his memory back

He told your daughter that his name is Simone

He's asleep from overexertion

Did he just tell you or did you ask him?

- Why are you whispering? - So I don't wake him up

If you let him sleep, will you carry him out of here?

Sir? Simone?

You have to wake up. We have to go, wake up

No, Filippo! You're not leaving him here!

- He could be a maniac! - You're exaggerating, Giovanna

He'll sleep near the kids! You're crazier than he is!

Stop yelling

I'll yell when I want to! Watch how he wakes up now!

Great, he made himself comfortable now

- You resolve this situation! - Look! You made him cry!

Stop that tone or I'll smack you one!

And I'll report you to a cop!

Are you coming to bed?

He's sleeping. I put Mama's blanket on him

Turn out the light, I'm coming

- Go to sleep! - I'd go to sleep,

- but this guy's awake! - I don't feel like it

We sleep together once a week and you don't feel like it?

No, leave it open. I don't trust that man in there

- No, he'll hear us this way - We'll do it with a silencer

- I really don't feel like it - Come on, sure you do!

Good morning!

- Why didn't you wake me up? - You were sleeping so nicely

Look Mama, Simone made breakfast

- Where is he now? - He's in there

He made a mess with the eggs, sure he's better, right?

Have a crepe

- No, I don't want anything - I helped him, you didn't!

Martina, go do your notebook

Yeah, and do Marco's too!

Remember, they get out of school at two today

- What time do you start? - At seven, like always

- Haven't they changed the shifts? - Sure they have

It's just that they gave me the night shift again

- You always get cheated - I was the last guy hired

I have to hurry now, I hate doing things in a rush!

He's in there

He's going, today

I'll take care of it

Today

Don't worry, I promise

What's wrong?

- Have you seen Chen Suilan? - Why?

- Have you seen her? - Sure, don't you see her too?

- That's not her - What's the difference?

- What happened to Chen Suilan? - She works two jobs,

her sister replaces her and she has no working papers.

The bosses know this trick of using the same name for relatives who come

- It doesn't work anymore! - What are you, an SS officer?

- They asked me to investigate - You tell them it's not your job

You do the accounting. What does that mean?

- You count people? - How can I say no to them?

With your mouth!

Hi!

Hi Mama, look what we got

- What's all this? - Wait or I'll crash

- What have you done? - I'll explain later

- How about explaining now? - Are you happy now?

- No, I'm playing! - Let Marco play too

No, he doesn't know how to play

- I didn't buy it, okay? - You took money from that man?

- No, he gave it to me - You know what that's called?

- Exploiting the vulnerable - Don't yell, he'll hear you!

He'll hear me?

Why the fuck didn't you bring him to the police today?

I did and I made a report. I just couldn't leave him there

- How much did you take? - They'll call and let us know

I didn't take his money, are you crazy? He came with me

to get the kids from school and he wanted to buy them a gift

He told Martina to pick one, you know how grand she is

Yes, but you've really lost the plot! I can't sleep with him here

Take him to the pub and leave him at the station on the way

Sure! This way I'm always the one who's the shit!

They're not for us, I sell them

- Are you a pastry maker? - To earn some extra money

I make them twice a week for my friend who owns a pub

But I'd have liked that

I would have liked to open a pastry shop

Why didn't you?

I didn't have the money

You could work in a pastry shop if you like it that much

Sure, at 29 years old with 2 kids, I'd be an apprentice

with a husband who gets himself fired all the time

I know it's hard to quit, but at least when you bake

you shouldn't smoke. You used

tap water and you didn't even taste it

to make sure there wasn't too much chlorine.

Pardon me. I'll use mineral water next time

Do you have a favorite brand to suggest?

You'll find the right one. Try it when it's cold

and when it's heated. The water must always be clear,

have no smell, be pleasant to the taste

and be absolutely low in alkaline

How do you know all this?

Maybe I knew someone…

who knew how to bake very well

Then you must remember something

If I'm late at the police station,

would you put my kids to bed after yours?

- Want Giambo to go with you? - He is just what I need…

I'll take two minutes, wait for me here

No, you could have brought them a little later

for closing time!

Sorry, I'll bring them early next time, life is a mess at home

Send your husband if you're in a mess, or don't you trust him?

It's you I don't trust! He works nights anyway, so…

Excuse, excuses. If I had the chance, I'd show him a good time.

Do it! You'd get him off my back then!

- Trouble is, he'd never do it - Oh yes he would

- Isn't Giorgio enough for you? - Still?

After 15 years, it's incest now

- Irene, the cash register - I'm coming!

I can't, I'm in a rush

Relax a bit or your brain will blow up, honey

By the way, the pies aren't selling very well

What can I do for you then?

That's my favorite question. Make sure it's good

Be serious, tell me what you want

How should I know? Invent something, shock me.

Make something new.

You think that's easy. 'Bye

Pardon me, I think your grandfather isn't feeling well

I was standing by him and he was saying some strange things

- Then he walked off - He's not my grandfather

Sorry, it's just that I saw him with you before…

I live in the building across from you

Really?

I don't know who he is, we found him in the street

The police said they'd inform us

if they find out anything

Where did he go now?

I met him there in front of my car

Excuse me, but you took him to the police

and they left him in your care?

- Impossible, right? - It seems a bit strange to me

You're right. I wasn't the one who brought him anyway

Well, he can't be too far.

He's not well.

- What's wrong with him? - His memory is gone

What's the name?

Giovanna

I'm Lorenzo. But, I meant his name

Oh! Simone

I should have taken him to the police before going to the pub.

Now what can I do with him…

I can't chase him around all night

You've been very kind,

but I'd better go home now

Simone, what are you doing? Why did you get out of the car?

My life is already a mess, you are just what I need!

Come back to the car

I'll take you where you want

We can go ask again, maybe they've found out

- where you live. - I'll take you there.

No, thanks anyway

My car is right here. Two people are better than one

I'm sorry, I'm taking up so much of your time

Don't worry about it, I'm not working tomorrow

- They're coming! - Who's coming?

Don't get upset

- Let me out. I have to get out! - No! What are you doing?

Simone, wait!

- I'll go with him - Okay, I'll catch up

No, please! Let me go!

Lorenzo! He's not feeling well!

Simone, what's wrong?

Nothing

I just need… to sit down for a bit

Good evening, Mario. I'll have the usual, please

- Sorry, I'm not Mario - Then have Mario come

No one named Mario works here

- What do you usually have? - Vermouth

- I'll have a beer, please - Make that two

Who are you?

Lorenzo. We were in the car together just now

We met in front of the pub, remember?

No. What kind of work do you do?

I work in a bank

Do you like it?

I guess so. I'm about to become a branch manager

Your wife will be pleased

Well… I'm not married

You're not married at your age? Why not?

I don't know

Maybe I haven't found the right person yet

What about you?

- What about me? - Do you like your job?

- Do you like chicken? - Yes, it's alright

I work in a chicken factory

I'm in accounting. And I don't like it

I like your cakes very much. The ones you bring to the pub

How did you know I make them?

I've seen you quite often and I go to the pub a lot

And like I told you, I live across from you

You've never seen me?

Maybe I have

Maybe in the neighborhood

Or maybe from my window

I don't know, what with everything I have to do…

- Sir?! - Oh, excuse me

Have you seen Sara? They're even taking babies away!

Please help me find her, please!

Help me find her

Remember to take the money out of your jacket

These are Filippo's. They might be small for you

I just need time to wash your things, put them here

I don't like the sweater

You haven't even tried it on

I don't like the color

Alright, I'll get another one for you

This robe is for you… it's blue!

I'll take your clothes to the cleaners tomorrow

Do you understand?

- Hello? - Giovanna? It's Lorenzo

Sorry to call so late, but I looked up your number

and I saw you were still awake

Yes

After I left you at your car, I lost you and

I just wanted to know if he's alright

Yes, he's taking a shower

I couldn't… I couldn't tell you before

what he said to me when he stopped me

So, here we are

My friends had gone and I was getting into my car

At a certain point, he was almost on top of me

He spoke to me… as if he were talking to someone else

He… it was actually as if he were declaring his love

I don't remember the words exactly now

"I'll always love you"

More or less that's what he said

And then?

"We have to love each other secretly,"

"because no one… no one will forgive our love"

What did you answer?

I didn't know what to say

It was a bit embarrassing too

Then he just stopped. He looked me in the eyes

"I don't want to give up our love. Do you?"

He really said that?

Yes

For a moment I was… I tried to give him an answer

Any answer. I don't know how he took it

You didn't understand who he was talking to?

No, but he was convinced he was talking to the person he loved

So he wasn't talking about me… I mean

about her. About the woman

that he couldn't love

What was he thinking about?

Who knows how it ended…

Take him to the police tomorrow

Yes, I have to take the kids to school and shop, but…

You can always call if you need a hand. I'll give you

- my mobile number - Alright

Is everything alright?

Is everything alright?

Listen, I'm coming in

What are you doing?

You couldn't sleep?

You couldn't either

Did the children stay with your friend?

Yes, but Emine's kids sleep here often too

I like the way your husband plays with his children

Yes, Filippo is a good father

Have you known him long?

We've been married for 9 years, but were together before that

It was different in the beginning. Then…

Then the worries, the children, like everyone else I guess

It must be beautiful to watch love grow that started only as

passion… and to help it change,

to protect it from the passage of time

Well, that's not always easy

Do you like to dance?

Yes, but I haven't danced for years

It's been longer for me

- Martina, hurry up - We'll be ready in two minutes

- What time is it? - Too early for you

I'll take the kids to school and then go shopping with Emine

I swear I'll leave him at the police station today

No, I have to take his clothes to the cleaners later

Alright, just don't complain later

I took him to the pub last night. I almost lost him,

but thank God I got help. You know, that guy that…

Alright, I'll tell you some other time

You be quiet, I'll talk to her

Comb your brother's hair, it's sticking up

It took me an hour to get it like this

Don't yell, you'll wake him up

She doesn't understand,

she's an old lady

He doesn't care about the old man. He wants to do you!

Come on, he hasn't even thought about that

Don't you think I'd have noticed?

He spied on you just like you spied on him!

I didn't spy on him!

You've been acting out a soap opera for months

- For this afternoon, please - This will take three days

Please, it's really urgent

It's Saturday, we're closed this afternoon. No way, sweetie.

It's a human issue.

If someone begs you there must be a reason!

Come on, it's important to her

Pass by later and knock on the grate

Just this once, got that? Nice suit, very fine fabric…

- Whose is it? - What's it to you?

He's hitting on you, he even knows how you like your coffee

These were in the pocket

- What's he doing with rocks? - He throws them at busybodies!

Oh, hello!

Right now?

I don't know, how can I do that?

Yes, that's a good idea

Where?

Alright, the same coffee bar. Fine

The same coffee bar!

Do you two have "your song" yet?

- Good morning - Good morning

- Sit down - Thank you

Would you like something?

- A coffee? - Yes, a coffee, thank you

Two, please

- How is Simone? - He was asleep when I left

I had to wash him last night. I saw numbers on his arm…

- From a concentration camp? - Yes

He took us here to the Jewish neighborhood

I wanted to tell you, I called a policewoman friend of mine

She said there's been no report of anyone finding an old man

- They know nothing about this - That's what I thought

She'll let me know if anyone reports a missing person

- I see you're getting involved - Yes, a bit

Thank you

- Milk? - Yes, a drop

No, I don't take sugar

- I can't stay here long - Alright, we'll hurry

How is it that someone like you took a stranger home?

It wasn't me. It was my softhearted husband

He goes overboard when it comes to helping someone

In fact, it seemed odd. With your kids in the house…

What do the kids have to do with this?

No, I only meant that… it seemed rather strange

What did you think strange? What do you know about me?

It's true, I hardly know anything about you

I only know

that you take your children to school at 8 every morning

Your friend, who has black children, is always with you

I know that every night after you wash the dishes

you stay in the kitchen to smoke a cigarette

You put out your cigarette under the tap water

I know you often wander around the house at night

You go to the window and look outside

But I don't know what you see

- Good morning - Good morning

- I'd like some information - Certainly, what is it?

Would you happen to know

an elderly gentleman called Simone?

No, no one comes to mind

He's lost, he remembers nothing. He's staying with her for now

I think he's a concentration camp survivor

How can you say that?

He has those numbers on his arm

He stopped here in front of your shop last night

He knocked on the grating

as if he knew this place very well

He may be one of your customers

Are you sure his name is Simone?

It's the only thing he remembers

- Did you make a police report? - Yes, but there's no response

Listen, I've worked here for a very long time

Maybe if you brought him here I'd recognize him

I'm sorry. We're not looking for any missing persons here

It seemed the name Simone meant something to you a minute ago

It struck me because this lady's brother was named Simone

But it can't be him. Simone died many years ago

in a concentration camp

Excuse me, where is your car parked?

- Along the river - Mine is the other way

Goodbye

- Why was your cellphone off? - It wasn't, I was at the bar

Maybe it didn't receive there

Look, it's on. I never turned it off

If you say so

Didn't Simone go out with you this morning?

Oh sure, I took him shopping with me

- He wasn't here when I woke up - Where is he now?

- You said you'd stay with him - What did I say?

I said I was going to the cleaners, you stupid shit!

- You're really a ball buster! - I can never trust you!

I know you didn't make a police report! I'm sick of this!

- It makes me even sicker! - Then do something!

Take some initiative! Just one thing!

What am I saying? You can't even get on the day shift!

Give me time for fuck's sake! It's a new job!

Do you call checking the gas on trucks a job? Fuck you!

Is it my fault? You forget I lost the job the auto shop

to a family member. If it wasn't for the kids

I wouldn't be breathing gas fumes all night!

You could stop breathing for what they pay you!

Are you throwing money in my face now?

I've always had a job! Who gave you this house, huh?

If I'm correct, if your mother hadn't passed you the lease…

At least I had parents who helped us!

True, I didn't have any

But I'm not like you

At least I'm not like you!

Why? What am I?

Go on, say it! What am I to you?

I'm a failure? Am I a failure?

Right?! You're a real bitch!

My dear Simone,

After you, red is no longer red

The blue of the sky is no longer blue

The trees are no longer green

After you,

I have to search for colors in the yearning I have for us

After you, I miss even the pain

that made our love timid and secret

I regret the waiting, the relinquishing,

the coded messages,

our stolen glances in a world full of blind people

who didn't want to see

because if they'd seen us we'd have been their shame,

their hatred, their cruelty

I regret I haven't yet had the courage to ask your forgiveness

And that is why I can no longer even look inside your window

That is where I always saw you when I didn't

even know your name and you dreamed of a better world

A world where a tree was not forbidden to be a tree,

or for blue to become the sky

I don't know if this is a better world…

now that no one calls me Davide anymore,

now that everyone calls me only Mr. Veroli

How can I say this is a better world?

How can I say that without you?

I have to leave in a few days

I'm being transferred to the Ischia branch

It must be a beautiful island

Yes. But not now

It's always like this

I'm never good at guessing the right timing

A few days ago, I thought this promotion would save me

It's the last thing I want right now

It seems I always get what I want at the wrong time

Everything's fine as long as I'm dreaming of something,

but then when I try to make that become reality…

I don't know how to explain it, sorry, I know, but…

It's just that I…

I'd stay sitting on this bench forever,

even though I know it would never be possible…

Just look at how you're dressed

You have to be cleaner, more polite, better than other kids

That's easy if everybody else is like you!

Martina! Say you're sorry right now!

You weaned this kid on viper's milk!

Hello. May I please speak to

Mr. Veroli? Mr. Davide Veroli

- Who is this? - You wouldn't know my name

You don't know me. Tell him I'm Simone's friend

- Simone? - Yes

Just a moment

Mr. Veroli

is sleeping now, please call back later

You may also leave me your telephone number

Hello. We spoke yesterday. I have an appointment

- with Mr. Davide Veroli - Come in

You're not bringing bad news, are you?

Why bad news?

You never know. I expect just about anything from life!

Davide shouldn't be seeing you

However, don't agitate him. Diabetes! Heart! Depression!

His problems are worse than other people's! Understand?

- I'm sorry - You're telling me

Just the effort it takes for me to give him a pill…

There's nothing worse

than someone who refuses to take care of himself!

Stop putting on a show, Sara

Why don't you go make us some coffee?

"What's your name, what's your name"

Martina constantly asked me

The only name I had fixed in my head

was Simone's

I read it, I'm sorry

I thought it would help me to find you

In fact, you found me

Simone never read this letter

When you found me that morning

I was on my way to our meeting place

Simone and I had a secret meeting place

We left our messages there

Everything we couldn't say in front of anyone else

or on the telephone, we wrote

We hid the messages

between the stones of the fountain

I made you worry, didn't I?

Yes

Why?

Everything is ready

I don't taste things as I once did

Come here. Taste this chocolate

Did it break immediately?

I didn't notice, it's melting

Quickly?

- Yes - It's the grain

It must have an almost imperceptible graininess

Then once it's melted it must leave a sweet sensation

that lasts for just a moment,

and then the thing that counts is the bitterness

Yes, that's what it tastes like

Do you taste the perfume of the vanilla?

Yes, but… distantly

Distantly…

Yes, distance.

You've transformed your passion into a hobby.

You shouldn't treat your talent that way!

Do you know the pastry shop on Via Giustini?

- Veroli's? - Davide Veroli. It was his

He was a great pastry chef, an artist famous all over Europe

- Have you known him long? - A lifetime

I owe him my life

He was the one who saved me on October 16,1943

You don't know what I'm talking about, do you?

No, I'm sorry

The Nazis… began at dawn and continued all day

to load entire families on to their trucks

Men, women,

old people, babies

Not only in the Ghetto, but in all of Rome

Davide did everything to warn as many people as he could

He saved a lot of children that day

That's why he was given medals and honors…

For what it was worth…

- What did you do for him? - Why?

You don't know how truly privileged you are

He's never allowed anyone to make pastry with him,

much less give them his baking tools

Are you a pastry chef too?

I don't know, maybe it was… all the love in the letter

that never made me think… they were two men

I didn't realize it either, but then…

Only after I thought about it again…

Mama

- I'm on the telephone - It's been an hour!

The second time he has to go home, why isn't Tom Thumb

- able to find the bread crumbs? - I don't remember

- The birds ate them - The birds, the birds ate them

But wasn't it pebbles he left along the road?

Everyone remembers fairy tales in their own way

Do you still have a lot of packing to do?

I guess so

He's a dead end

Look, he wants to sleep with you and then he'll take off

Anyway, he'll be in Ischia and you'll be here

Alright, but would he spy on me for months just for a fuck?

Then tell him you're leaving everything to run off with him

to live your dreams of love

on the island. Watch how fast he disappears

Listen, I'm working overtime. Will you wait for me?

No, I'll take the bus

Fuck him!

Yes, have yourself a good fuck

It's the only way

to get him out of your head. Go home, make yourself pretty,

leave the kids to sleep at my house,

and that's the end of it

Don't make that face, it's not a tragedy

Look, if you do it well, do it very well

Come in

I tried to give the place some atmosphere

Maybe I went overboard

I'll put them out if you like

No, it's very nice

If you knew for how long I imagined this…

And now you're here

and I can kiss you. I can kiss your mouth,

your face,

your eyes

You never stop, did you know that?

You're always moving

Day after day I watched you,

you became an obsession for me

I came home early just to watch you

I hid behind the curtains

I waited for you to go out to see where you went

It was enough to know that you were there

and there were times I couldn't tear myself from the window

in the hope that I'd see you for one more instant

From that window?

Yes

With this transfer you'll have a lot of responsibilities

Your life will change completely

A new place, a new job, new friends

- It'll be hard at first, but… - I'm not asking you to come

I can give you all the time you want

Why do we have to give this up?

I know it's difficult for you

It's difficult for you to be with me

But it's even more difficult for me to leave you

I owe you 13 euros

I'll give it to you at the end of the month

Hello. I've brought back his suit

Giovanna, come in, please. Hurry!

But I came only to give him his suit

- No, please come inside - Has something happened?

The air is too humid. It's no good for pastries

It makes it harder to knead the dough

You didn't tell me if the children liked

the cake we made together

I'm sorry, they liked it very much. Emine went crazy for it too

That woman should go crazy with a good diet

Today is not the day to make pastries,

they're turning out badly

Are you sure he told you the truth?

It wasn't easy, he didn't want to talk. But when I aimed

the gun at the baby, he told me everything

He made a list of everyone still hiding valuables

You can't go wrong. I'm not leaving. Is everything ready?

Yes, the German troops are here. In half an hour, we'll surround

the Ghetto. What about that Jew who works with you?

- Will he warn anyone? - Who? That queer?

No, he's harmless. I keep an eye on him

If he dares to leave here…

I believe you! I'm going, but keep an eye on him

I saved many people that night

The same people who laughed at me,

who didn't believe in my sentiments,

who wouldn't accept that I could love Simone

And to save them, I lost him

I was at a crossroads, can you understand that?

But instead of running to Simone,

I chose to warn the others first

I had to show that I was worthy of them,

to save them first would be my redemption

Where did you leave the children?

With Emine

You mustn't trust anyone!

Every neighbor could be an informer, a spy!

- They're not in danger - Yes, they are! Run,

go home, hide them, take them as far away as you can!

Calm down, Davide, nothing's happened!

There's no time to lose, they'll be here any minute!

- The children are safe - Oh, the indifference…

That's your disease. You're blind and deaf

They've stupefied all of you with their propaganda!

You must…

You must run and warn everyone you know, Giovanna

Before it's too late!

Alright, Davide, I will. Just calm down now

We're here with you, nothing can happen

I'm not afraid for myself

I can't do anything now

But you… you still have a choice

You can change, Giovanna

Don't be content to merely survive

You must demand

to live in a better world, not just dream about it

I didn't do that

Are you awake already?

I never went to sleep

Has something happened?

I've decided to quit my job

In two hours I'll take the kids to school

and then I'll go to work and give them my resignation

Why? What's the reason?

I'm sorry

I thought something happened to you at work

That you were forced to do this

No. This was my choice

I should have done it sooner, but I don't think it's too late.

What will we do now? What will you do?

I want to work in a pastry shop

Help me, Filippo

Help me

- Here they are - Where's my other bag?

I'll go get it

- That's very well done - I know

Then why did you want me to check it?

To show you how smart I am!

I've never had a doubt

It's me!

Hi. Did you find a job?

No, I had some interviews, but I'm too old to apprentice

Did you make these for the pub?

- No, they're for us - They're not fattening, right?

- No - If you get any fatter…

You little…

He's downstairs,

he's moving out

Should I put raisins or almonds in the cookies?

Both

- We're done - Good. You lock up

My dear Davide,

Since you left us forever, Martina asks me of you often

She still calls you Simone. I'll tell her your story soon

Yesterday at work, for the first time I was asked

to make a cake by myself. Guess which one I made?

The head pastry chef didn't comment, but it was added

to the list of cakes to be made for Sundays

I think that's a good sign

Filippo was able to get on the day shift

It seemed as if he'd won the lottery, he was so happy

and I understood that I can't ask more of him right now

You know, when I think of Lorenzo,

I'm afraid I'm already beginning to forget his face,

that I can't remember his voice anymore.

What is he doing right now? Who is he smiling at?

I still need your advice, Davide,

one of your glances, one of your gestures

But then suddenly I'll feel your gestures in mine,

and I recognize you when I speak

Does everyone who leaves you

always leave part of themselves with you?

Is this the secret of having memories?

If that's true, I feel much safer

because I know I'll never be alone
