PIERA'S STORY

Bye.

Bye. One hundred thousand lira.

I'm leaving. I'm writing as I get to my country.

Bye and thanks.

Come on. Come.

Kisses for everyone.

I wish it's a girl.

Come here to help me.

You can see how quiet she is. She's followed my advise.

She's not in pain because she took some of that honey I brought her.

No. She's just as strong as a horse.

One hundred thousand lira. Help me. I'm sterilized.

She'll come out like honey.

Very good.

You'll see it is a girl.

You're right if you laugh.

She's coming out.

This makes the thousandth baby I have helped being born.

And how many have you helped disappear?

I'm going to kill her.

God let her have a painless birth.

I wish she will not suffer later on.

There's your Piera.

How pretty she is.

- Is it a girl? - Yes.

I feel like crying.

Piera. My girl.

- Hi. - Hi.

She's out.

So what? You wanna go look for her?

Dressed like that?

At least you could change your clothes.

Piera...

- Hi. - Hi.

- Is your brother sleeping? - Yes.

- Did you eat anything? - No.

- Drink some milk. - I don't feel like it.

Drink up. It's quite healthy.

Come on. Take a good sip.

OK.

Some time to go out.

Bye.

Has mummy been here?

She woke me up and brought me here on her bicicle.

Where did she go?

- Take a candy and leave her alone. - I'm responsible for her.

What time did you go out? Some eyes you've got. You ought to get some more sleep.

Alaways advising others. I got better things to do than sleeping.

- And you never take care of me? - Thank you.

Good-bye. I hope I won't see that mouse from yesterday.

- Why did you kiss my son? - It's my own business. OK?

Really? Then take this.

- Come on. - I'm so scared.

- What happened to your eye? - I've been slapped.

Let's go home.

Some idea. I'll kick you 'till you're blind.

Don't be such a nuisance. Listen to the music.

You got a fag for a pretty blonde?

Mom, let's go.

Train from Reggia Calabria arriving in platform...

Nice beard.

Who are you waiting for?

Any friend. You never know.

Come on. - You're such a bore.

- You're very pretty today. - You're an idiot.

- What else have you got to do? - Finish my shopping.

We bought plenty already.

You want to do without food? I'm taking care of you, you ungrateful idiots.

Deploy.

Either in good terms or by force.

- Sergeant. Sound the charge. - Charge.

Charge.

- It's beautiful. - A bit too shiny.

Well. What a surprise!

I brought many things from America.

Look at this gift.

For the prettiest. It suits you perfectly.

So elegant. So nice.

Come this way. I brought lots of stuff.

From HollyWood.

You'll see some fine things.

Piera.

Piera, come. There are beautiful costumes.

Don't be such a child. Go by your self.

- No. Take me by force. - You want to be taken?

Take him away.

Slowly.

- It makes me too hot. - You wear it in wintertime.

We'll cut down the sleeves. We'll finish this off and we'll add a belt to it.

Look at this funny thing I've found.

Marilyn Monroe's bra. See how cute it is.

- You won't try it on here, will you? - You fear the scandal, eh?

- This is made of satin. - Look. Your father's spy.

Give him an egg.

He probably hasn't eaten yet.

Piera...

- What happened to your eye? - It was for the love of a boy.

Who?

One who's after me. A forbidden love.

Thanks.

Is it fresh?

- We bought it from Gina. - Then it's fresh.

Very tasty.

- Where can I throw it away? - Give it to me. I'll throw it away.

Where did you get that coat?

Mom made me try it on just to see if it fit...

- Well. And...? - So so.

We have to talk.

Yesterday I talked to your teacher. Miss Marchiotti.

I think you're not doing well in school.

Well. Now they're tossing tear gas.

What shall we do with school?

- I don't know. I'm very afraid. - Of what?

Of other people.

The teacher says going to class is no crime.

You want to commit a crime?

Please. I'll kill myself if you make go to school.

�What do you want then. You want to be a dressmaker like your aunt says?

Yes. I'll be a great dressmaker.

There it comes.

You'll see how he scolds us.

What are you always so close for?

Do you have so many things to tell each other?

Looks like you're in love.

No surprise people say you're lovers.

Nice things of you to say. Eugenia.

The two of you are alike.

Damn! Damn!

Why do you want to keep us apart? Let me talk to dad.

Lorenzo...

Don't go. Dad.

Tanks.

I've got a lot of work. I''l see you on Saturday.

You like the beach? Yesterday I dreamt of you.

You were a grasshopper and jumped from one wall to another.

- We have to talk about mom. - Put her through.

She's sleeping.

Kisses for mom and Francesco. Bye.

Bye.

Piera...

- You're going to the beach? - Yes.

- No breakfast? - No.

Tell your mother I want to talk to her if you see her.

Where are you going at this time? For a swim?

- No. I'm looking for someone. - OK.

- Will you do the lemon milkshake? - Yep. It's my especiality.

I keep them locked. So the kids won't spoil them.

But they do want to read them. They can take them.

Here they are.

- Take them and take care of them. - Don't you worry.

And stop calling me "the Federation's fire squad".

We love you. But we want to be heard.

Yes. But you know my commitment.

OK. Let's drop it. I'm going now. But we'll discuss all this when I get back.

- OK. Thanks. - You're welcome. Bye.

Ay. Piera. Piera. Piera. An early start.

- Piera, come. - That's nice!

A lot of children are waiting for me downstairs.

You can hear them call. Don't make them beg. Go now.

Let them wait.

- Aren't you jealous of my success? - Why?

- Because it means I am liked. - I like you to be liked.

- Elide. Who is that for? - Just for Francesco.

Kids, I'm leaving. Bye.

Mrs. Elide. Bye.

- Lorenzo. - What?

Wait.

- What? - I made this for you.

For your adventures.

Why didn't you give it to me before?

You won't make me lose my train? It's late.

You didn't kiss me right.

What about me?

- Piera, come! - Go on, come!

- Run, Piera! - Come on, run!

- Come. - Come, Piera.

Don't just stay there.

Girl, kiss your mother.

Not you. Who told you to come?

Shut up and get in line.

Let the first come.

Three. You hurt me with your teeth.

You must open your lips a bit.

You'll improve. Go.

- Call me, I'm the best. - Yes, golden mouth.

And your tongue? Are you a dog? I'll give you a two.

Elide...

What are you doing in this house?

Why are you spending here the whole day?

You're not a servant. Nor a relative.

What are you looking for? Are you spying for the Vatican?

I'm fond of this family. Especially the children.

Take it as a vow.

Who called you?

Not you.

Why?

You're not old enough. Next.

Later on I'll need you to take care of the kid.

Yes. As you wish.

It's a new dress already full of stains. You're so dirty.

Piera. Come.

Sew this.

Sit over there.

- Aunt. We got another woman. - Congratulations.

We'll celebrate with Virgin's water.

Now the circle is closing.

The only big thing you had was this.

Now your whole body will grow.

Like the Earth.

Please, close your legs.

Now it's important that you learn to keep your legs shut.

You can get pregnant in no time.

Mummy.

What?

Come see something.

"Come see something".

Go on.

- Piera. Come here. - Yes, mam.

It's Eugenia's daughter.

I just spoke to Dr. Filippi.

He says you should go see him now. He wants to talk to you.

About your crazy mother.

I won't charge you for the time yor're gone 'cause I love you.

Thanks.

You talk to him. I...

Go ahead.

What's your father thinking of?

What planet does he live in?

You can't go on living like that.

You have no relatives you can live with?

Thare are minor's Courts. Schools for girls.

I look after my mother when my father is away.

Sit down.

Let's talk about our responsability.

You see those cyclists?

They move backwars and forward, but they don't lose their balance.

They're balanced.

But if you touch this clown, he'll lose his balance.

He's unbalanced, like your mother.

Come here.

Something must be done for her.

She needs shock therapy to get well.

Here.

Thanks.

Bring your mother.

Being so pretty, she doesn't deserve to be sick.

And she's had pretty children.

With nice little tits.

Go.

Damn spy. I'm here because of you.

- I didn't spy on you. - Yes, you did. You're evil.

The doctors made that decision.

The patient Mirtam Galttert is no longer dangerous.

Hi. Eugenia.

Are you coming to testify?

He was the only one who wouldn't put us in there and wouldn't tie us down.

And now they want to take him out because one of them got hurt.

Not just out of here, but out of town.

It's important that you testify. Are you coming?

Yeah. OK. I'll go along.

Be strong.

But they hate me.

And now they'll catch me again.

Shall I close the door, Doc?

No. You'll get to learn something.

This is a fine hotel. Good service and discretion.

Fool.

The kid is quiet. They'll have fun.

I want her to be happy.

Shall we finish it? Let's drink the champagne.

- She's so pretty. - She's my girlfriend.

Give me that bottle, you little drunk.

Some day we'll have fun all together.

Should Piera want it.

I'd tell you so many things, Jason.

But Zeus only knows how much you got from me.

You shouldn't have mocked me.

You shouldn't have left me.

You shouldn't have looked for another wife.

You shouldn't... Once you had despised my bed.

Have a pleasant life once you have mocked me.

Neither you nor your wife.

If Creonte wanted it. He should have expelled me from this land.

Call me she-lion or Escila.

- I had my revenge, Jason. - Let's get walking before it gets dark...

It's late already.

Ay. Ay.

Eat.

You want mommy to sleep with you today?

Come on, say it.

He'll kill me if I go down now.

Don't be afraid, my love.

Let's see, tell me...

You think it's normal?

Now you take her along to your love escapades?

What did your loving Dr Filippi say? Mad people need love.

I don't want her to end up in electric shock therapy.

I don't want her to end up in electric shock therapy.

- You too. - Dad.

Come on.

Come on.

I don't want you with her. It's such a shame.

- Come on. - Mummy.

Take some too.

Stand up for me, you idiot.

Do something and save me from this monster.

Help!

He's killing me!

Help!

I hope I'm not transfered because of my family situation.

Don't you worry. A solution wiil come up eventually.

You know I know how things are around here.

Why are you bringing someone to take over my job?

- Excuse me for a minute. - Sure.

Piera. Come here.

Why won't you go home?

There's nothing you can do for your mother here.

No. I'm staying.

You both look so much like one another.

- I'm sorry. - Sure.

You know what I mean.

I'm told no. But...

Got damn it! It's raining so much.

Mom, where are you going?

Dear Eugenia. Winter is coming.

Let's go home.

It's been three years since he went...

to Germany.

He's in D�sseldorf.

I know he has a lover.

He's got himself almost a brand new family.

I even dyed my hair blonde. Down there too.

To win him back.

Look. No. It's black now.

Don't write that down.

That's how I ended up here, bringing up a child.

I could do with that job as a janitor.

Try to be persuasive.

I'm glad I attended drawing classes.

No.

- I express myself better. - Wait. I'm not focused.

How was it?

- It's been... - Three years...

Three years...

since he went to live in Germany.

In D�sseldorf.

I'll write for you tomorrow. I'm getting nostalgic.

Mom, let's go out. Don't stay in bed.

Shall I show you the stars?

Go.

Go. Leave me alone.

Hi.

I've made one of those sweets you like.

She won't see anyone. Don't go in.

Hybernation begins.

What are we going to do all alone now?

And your father is always away.

Shall I recite something for you?

"If your love is big, tell me how big it is".

Marc Anthony: "It is little that love that can be measured".

"I want to set the limit

to which I can be loved by you".

Marc Anthony: "They find a new heaven and a new Earth".

Enters a servant:

"News from Rome, Sire".

Leave me.

You know how these moments are.

If it is true that the heavens generate hail from my frozen heart.

And poison the well.

Let the first hailstone hit me in the neck.

And let it dissolve my life when it melt.

And let the second hit Cesarion.

And then, one by one, the memories I carry inside.

- Hi. - Hi, Piera.

Eugenia has inflated the bicicle's tyres already.

There's no stopping her now.

Eugenia.

Come. I kept a place for you.

Good evening.

How's your head, Eugenia?

Wonderful, Dr.

I won't ask you, Piera. You look lovely.

Will you have something to drink?

Give me the money, I'm buying.

Eugenia, don't run. I'm on foot.

Where are you going?

Come. We'll have fun.

- Leave them. - Come for a walk.

You heard me?

What a nice car. And fancy too.

- Make up your mind, gorgeous. - But that's all they got.

Wait. I wanna talk to you.

Where have you been?

Show me the stars.

Meet Luciana.

- I'm Eugenia. - Nice to meet you.

- One hundred thousand Lira. - Nice to meet you.

I'll leave soon. She'll be the new midwife.

So young?

I use more modern methods.

Different.

But she's been my teacher.

Always talking instead of listening to this beautiful music.

- Are you coming? - No. My feet hurt.

Come on. We'll drive you around.

Enough.

As a joke it's enough.

- I'll hit you with a hammer, blondie. - OK.

- No. No - Piera. Don't let them touch you.

Leave me. Mummy!

- Leave me. - Leave her.

I don't want to.

- No. - Piera.

- Mom. - Leave us!

Leave me!

- Mom. - Easy...

What are you doing?

Get out of here!

Get away! Run!

You scoundrels are brave with two women.

- Run! Get away! - No! No!

You're mad. Go home.

Come here...

Why are you there instead of working?

I was having some fresh air. I can't breathe.

It's alright.

I have to go out. I'm meeting a customer.

eed the baby.

- Can you? - Yes, sure. Thanks.

Go. You know the way.

It's weird. She's only good to you..

- There's no understanding them. - Thank you, Mam.

Hi, Gianluca.

Hi, Piera. Will you get me some warm milk?

Yep.

Are you happy today?

No.

And you?

No.

Do. Re. Mi. Fa. Sol. La. Si. Do.

Do. Si. La. Sol. Fa. Mi. Re. Do.

- Shall I tell you a story? - No.

I know a fun game.

You'll see.

You hear it?

What a nut case.

She almost kills my baby.

She's just like her mother. Quick. Quick.

Come on.

Come on. Hurry up. Leave her like that.

Go back to work.

Come on.

Come on. Get in.

Bye.

Bye.

The fist car that was sold was a Peugeot.

It was a tricicle on steam.

- Nice thighs. - Yeah.

I'm sure she got a fine ass.

You only have to get in that position.

Are my thighs sexy?

- Yours... - Good morning.

It's never been questioned.

Come. I have a surprise.

Really?

Let's see.

They've been to the laundry.

Let's see where they are... Here. The latest in Las Vegas.

Where do I put this on?

- On your head? - You like it?

Yeah, sure.

A nice jacket, in silver.

If I paid attention to you, I'd look like a clown.

Revolting.

I'd do great if I worked in the theatre.

- Hi, Francesco. - Try this on.

Come on. The game is starting.

Wait.

We're partying.

You think my son will be better off in the church than he is at home?

- I better go play. - Two-bit communist.

- Francesco. - I have to go. I got a game.

Always taking him away from me. I'm not the devil.

Let's see. Get in here.

This dress will become a different hair color.

- Try this wig on. - It's red.

Yes. It's pretty, American nylon.

It suits you.

Look.

Some femme fatale.

The lemon tree is fragile.

A light wind could take it down.

But if you make it grow tall and strong,

it will give you plenty of satisfactions.

Don't you wanna be a strong lemon tree?

Do you remember when I told you'd be my master work?

I'm some master work.

I'm sure you'll give me plenty of satisfactions.

Eugenia, I love you.

It was almost dark at the doomed place.

Her father...

Her father...

Was holding me by the hair.

Don't give me tips. Wait.

OK.

Now I pull my hair...

I pull...

- Please, leave me... - No. Don't overdo it.

I go to end of the scene.

Harder. He hit harder. Until death came.

I shouted to the son: "You killed him. Killed him".

"I killed him". Reply.

Then I passed out. And I didn't know anything else.

- Where are you going? - To talk to your mother.

Why don't you let it go? It hurts you.

Yes. But she's my passion.

- Am I not your passion? - You. You. You...

You're my master piece.

You'll leave her, right?

- We're going. - Bye, dad.

Mrs. Elide. Thank you. Francesco...

Francesco...

Piera. I love you.

- My love. Monster. - You're the monster.

- Traitor. - Some nerve.

Your mother has a skin like velvet.

There was rage in me...

A lot.

My shout made him commit a parricide. In his enslavened soul.

- I killed him. - Leave her.

Let her heart break. Let it tear her apart.

Heart for heart.

Let's go have some coffee.

Piera.

Piera, what's wrong with you?

My God.

My God, Piera.

Don't do that.

Don't frighten me, my love.

Madam, Piera is very ill.

Help us.

My children always dreaded they'd be like me.

Yet, my family is healthy. But yours... You are rotten.

Is now the time to say that?

Is she in there?

Your father is here.

I'm sorry, my love.

- I'm sorry. - Cover me.

I'm sorry.

Mom's here too.

We're taking you home. You have to get well.

Why haven't you shaved?

You're poorly dressed.

It doesn't matter.

What's wrong with you?

Don't worry about me.

Now I have plenty of time. I don't know what to do.

Ghosts are chasing me.

There are visions in my head.

When I was working for the party, I had my two loves:

The red flag and Eugenia.

Now the red flag has retired me.

And Eugenia is destroying my life.

Again, the house in flames.

Harder, Piera. Harder.

Harder.

That's the way.

Cough and spit.

Congratulations.

I'm thrilled. What will they say at your place?

Nothing.

- Good morning. One hundre thousand Lira. - Piera, you're back. I'm glad.

Do you know we're now selling knitwear?

Your mother had a brilliant idea. It's making lots of money.

They work and I make the designs. Remember I studied drawing?

Yes, I remember.

- Hi, Marisa. - Hi.

- How are things? - Fine.

You look good.

I thought you'd look worse.

You can't see it in the outside. Besides, I'm well now.

- Where's mom? - In the bathroom.

Never mind, the Hangman doesn't always mean something bad.

Ah. You're back.

Mom, this is Arianna.

She looked after me every night.

- You know Tito's jealous. - But I don't want anything.

Just to be close to you.

We talked about that. You know it can't be anymore.

I can't live without you.

Life. My life.

Heart. My heart...

How's dad?

- You don't leave him alone, do you? You visit him? - No.

- Why? - It's not him anymore.

He's lost his mind.

That selfish bastard left me alone.

Now I have no one to talk to.

When did you talk to dad?

Piera. You don't understand anything.

Let's go away together, mom.

Ah, is that you?

Long time.

Give me.

Will you put my cufflinks on?

Here.

I can't.

It's destiny.

I can never close my cuffs.

- She's my master piece. Actress. - Congratulations.

Try.

Not like that. Cunt.

Go back to your place.

This is your bed.

Don't make lose my temper.

I passed the dog thing.

- Can I talk to you? - Come on.

Are you coming back?

She's an artist.

- You want half a sweet? - Sure.

Why are you so mean to those old men?

I do it for their own good. They get in each other's beds.

That's how they become faggots.

- They need warmth. Let them. - Surely.

Listen, I have seen all your soaps.

- You're my favourite. - I quit that. I'm doing theatre now.

Can I have your autograph?

- I dont have... - Never mind, I do.

It's not valuable stuff. But it's classy.

See? The edge is golden.

- You like china? - Very much.

Will you take the dog out to pee?

Thanks.

Easy. Stop.

This belongs to our house.

I brought it along for you.

This sweet is delicious.

Don't cry.

We could get a house together.

With little furniture. A bed. And a desk.

No luxuries.

Let me see your legs.

Eugenia's are prettier

My mother's is better too?

Eugenia...

I made love to her for hours. And I could never satisfy her.

I love you very much.

But it's hard to get going with all that's happening.

The worse I treat you, the closer you are to me.

You should have more dignity.

Massimo, what do you want from me?

You hit me. You enslave me.

Who could adore you more?

More than I do.

More than I do.

Nobody loves me the way I want.

Say it, princess.

That it destrys me. That it kills me.

Why do you treat her like that?

I don't want her to follow me around on her bicycle.

People mock me.

Come.

What do you want?

You'll see.

No.

Don't fool me.

My father died there.

He died of love.

It's sad to lose someone you love.

Come.

I want to have you. I want you.

Let's play a game.

Get undressed.

Come on

Not bad, eh?

No. Stay there.

Stay there.

But I want to make love to you.

- No. I like it better like this. - Ah, do you?

Better alone.

Touch yourself.

Very good.

You like it?

How does my mother make love?

Eh?

She's very tender.

Clean.

Clean and tender. Nothing else?

She has a scent.

Go slowly.

Some weakness!

You want me on top?

You left me exhausted.

Some mouth you got.

God, the heart pace!

And Massimo?

As usual.

- Who's this? - My sister.

Where did you leave him?

At the lake.

You're so cruel.

Really? Am I cruel?

I did it for you.

You're not like me at all.

You can't forgive.

It's not true. I didn't do it for you.

I wanted to avenge my father.

And I won't bug you any longer. I'm leaving.

Where to?

To do my work.

I'm glad.

You can go make a tragedy some place else.

- How are you? - Fine.

Where could she have taken the lice?

Out there, I guess.

I don't think so. She's in isolation now.

I'm leaving tonight.

I'll go with you if you want me to.

We'll be there in a couple of hours.

No. Stay with the company. I'll see you in Milan.

As you wish.

My love...

Go on.

It's sweet.

No. No.

I want to bury them myself. With my hands.

I beg you, Medea. Let me touch that tender flesh.

After killing her own children,

Medea stops me from touching them with my hands.

And from burying them as I wish.

I wish they were never born.

I would not have to see them dead.

Victims to your wrath, Zeus.

Zeus is the one who chooses what will happen.

At the Olympus, the gods make many plans.

Against all odds, what is expected never happens.

Yet, the god can make the unexpected happen...

Bravo! Bravo!

Piera will catch a cold out there. She wa sweating.

Take this.

- Hi, Loredana. - Hi.

Lots of luck.

Will you sing "Bellisima"?

Thanks.

You are so beautiful.

You are so beautiful.

Blinded by love, he stared at me.

You are so beautiful...

- Shall I stay with you? - No. No.

Go with the rest. I'll see you tomorrow or the next day.

Hold me. I'm nervous.

Bye.

- Hi, Piera. How are you? - Fine.

I saw you on TV. You were wonderful.

�Why don't you do "Molly"? It was the best.

Where could she have taken the lice?

Not here. But she runs away. She's always at the bar.

No one gets to control her.

The other day she was with some guys from the circus, Day, night...

Try to convince her to have her hair cut.

Ambrogio, get ready.

Good morning, Miss.

I had to lock her up to keep her isolated.

Otherwise she'll attack everybody.

Eugenia. Look who's here.

You too?

Why do you torture me?

Don't ay that again or I won't come back.

You make me die.

Don't argue.

See you later, Piera.

Then, you made up your mind?

Your daughter had to come to persuade you.

It's for your own good.

G on. Sit by your daughter.

- For my own good? - Yes.

I put your crown on. Now I'll get your lice.

We're fine

Piera, close the window.

Let a bit of air in.

I don't like the smell of rotten water.

You know where we're going?

This ugly?

I'm finished.

We're going to the beach.

Really?

I can't. I'm contagious.

I'll talk to the doctor.

- We had good times there. - Yes, but I don't know them all.

Let's take this to go to the beach.

It's not yours.

- Never mind. We'll return it later. - You can't steal it.

Not stealing it. Borrowing it. Come on.

- We might fall down. - The mirror.

- We'll be back in an hour. - I'll wait for you at the bar.

Help.

Give me my hair back.

Mom.

What are you thinking about?

Are you afraid of death?

Give me an answer. Are you mute?

I'm trying to convince my head that it is too young.

That it must stop.

That it must grow old.

Yes.

Your father is here, you feel it?

I hope he's here with us.

Seeing what I do.

Seeing...

that everything he wanted eventually happened.

Almost everything.

What are you doing?

Mom, get dressed.

You sucked too hard. I don't have breasts anymore.

You want mine, which hasn't fed anyone?

You don't have that much more than me.

You don't like it?

Get naked.

Right. Get naked.

That's it.
