(STEP)

I love you so much, you know that?

- Yes.
- So very good.

- Do you want a coffee?
- Come on.

(INTERCOM)

- Is it Manuel, Mom?
- No my love.

And please remember,
no talk about Manuel tonight. Ok?

- Yes.
- (softly) Remember the secret.

Yes? Oh, you're already here.

ROSA: Nicola?

Guys, I'm still in splits,
I drank too much last night.

- Madonna.
ROSA: Nicola?

Stop',
look who posted this.

Nicola, can you come over there for a moment?

ROSA: I'm going crazy,
I can't wrap it up.

- Maybe if you close it...
- Thanks, asshole.

(under his breath) Stupid.

- Nico, I could do that too.
- Wait.

ROSA: Good.
NICOLA: Perfect.

(NOTIFICATION)
Damn, Nico', he's already here.

(TENSION MUSIC)

And'?

Mother?

- Here are my jewels.
- Look what dad brought me.

How beautiful you are.

My little rose.
But what did you have in your sights, huh?

- Trick?
- Ms. - Ah, yes?

Nico, what about this hair? Should we cut it?

Can you turn me on?

- Why did you bring him here?
- What was I supposed to tell the little girl?

"Your dad can't come
at your party?"

(IN FRENCH)

But not at home, we did it outside.

It's not a problem anymore, you know.

But why not? You wrote to us:
"Come on, hurry up."

We ran, mom.

Are people talking badly about me?

And you smoke too.

There's the cake.

It's nice to be here all together.

Yes.

I missed it.

Can someone relieve me?
I can't take it anymore.

I'll take care of it.

Mara, I'll teach you now
to ride the scooter. Turn around.

Hi sweetie.

See you soon.

HI.

(PIANO MUSIC)

Softer, even more.

Milena, have you seen my keys?

What a face you have.
You stayed out late last night, huh?

Okay, bye.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

- Ready?
WOMAN: Pass me to Vito.

- Vito is not here. Be careful.
to the bullshit you tell me, bitch.

MILENA: Who is it?
- If I find out he's there with you,

I'm coming and I'll split your head open.

Even this shit doesn't know anything.

Now let's ask who I am
and who are you, huh?

Are you done? Come on, move.

AGENT: Mrs. Semeraro,
It hasn't even been 24 hours,

it could be
of a voluntary departure.

What voluntary departure.

I feel it with my brother
every single morning

that Jesus Christ placed on Earth.

At 7:00 in the morning, split.

Always, every morning. Do you understand?

How long has it been since you heard from him?

Since yesterday morning.
Does it seem possible to you?

And he didn't even come home.
to sleep.

I am my brother
raised as a son.

I feel that something has happened.

You have to find it for me, understood?

Mrs. Semeraro, I to your father
I have known Don Peppino all my life...

And what do I care?

- But if his brother is missing...
- Yes.

..he disappeared in Rome.

- So what?
- And what can I do from here?

What can you do?
What job do you do?

Listen to me,
he went for a walk.

A twist?
- Don't worry.

No, you have the calm word,
I'm sorry!

Maybe you didn't understand anything,

you're attacking now
to that damn phone,

pick up the phone and call everyone
the ones you have to call, you understand?

And then you call me and let me know.

(DARK MUSIC)

- Who is?
- You and me.

NICOLA: January.

MARA: January, February...

NICOLA: February,
How do you write February?

MARA: How do I know?

And purple?

NICOLA: Look at this. It's after January.
So?

February...

Con la "F".

Con la "F" e la "E".

What is the "B" like?

(IN FRENCH)

We just have to send
all this love to your father.

- Mom?
- Mh?

ORLANDI: Hello, are you Mrs. Mattei?

CARLA: Yes.
I am Orlandi from the Rome Police Headquarters.

- Can we come in?
- Sure. - Thank you.

(DOOR CLOSES)

It's an invitation to introduce yourself.
We need to ask you some questions.

Why?

CARLA: Calm down Nicola,
everything is fine.

ROSA: Mom?

- Should I come now?
- If you want, yes, you can follow us now.

NICOLA: Are we coming with you, Mom?

Stay with the little one,
it's just a few questions.

My colleague accompanies her
in the room.

(DOOR OPENS)

Hello. I am Grazia Alaimo,
the Public Prosecutor.

Mh-mh.

Unfortunately I have to give it to you
bad news, Mrs. Mattei.

We found Vito's body
Semeraro in the Tiber riverbed.

(CRYING)

I know she's upset.

But I have to ask you to do...
a little effort.

And go back in time
with me.

How tied she was
to her ex-husband?

Twelve years.

All this time waiting for him?

Hmm? And not even after Semeraro
he separated from his wife,

he came to live with her, right?

Did you find it?

Where was the night
between July 30th and 31st?

- At home.
Oh yeah, at home? And what did he do?

I said goodbye to everyone around 11pm
and then I went to sleep with Mara.

CARLA: Can I have some water?
- Okay.

ALAIMO: A little water
for the lady, please.

And how did the evening go?
- Good, all good.

It was my daughter's birthday.

She wanted her dad with her.

(DOOR OPENS)

Thank you. Thank you.

So...

..his children and Semeraro
did they leave together?

Yes.

Vito...

..he gave Mara a caress...

..then he went down with Nicola and Rosa.

"The last" caress.

(quietly) Yes.

How did she take this...
family reunion?

Why is he doing this to me?
all these questions?

Did she feel betrayed?

He feared that Semeraro
and Mattei get back together?

But no. Now, there is no... between me and him.

No connection? Is that what you mean?

We lived a life together.

We had three children,

it's hard not to have a bond anymore,
as she says.

Sorry, I meant to say...

..a bond...
sexual or sentimental.

Did you have it?

No.

(CARLA SIGHS)

Why did he ask for separation?

After so many years,
things weren't going well anymore.

Actually 23 years is a lot,
no?

23 years of abuse,
abuse, domestic violence, complaints.

There are medical reports,
the testimonies.

Her ex-husband
he put her through hell.

Maybe such a man,
he deserved to be killed.

How killed?

ORLANDI: Yes, killed with two shots
of cutting weapon.

One in the back
and one to the jugular.

He is suffocated in his own blood.

We talked to his mother.

And the lady claims that she,
the night of July 30th,

she left home around 7pm
and came back after midnight.

So who's lying?

Law or your mother?

Where was he that night?

There.

I was there.

ALAIMO: When he left
what did he do?

I fixed the house,
then I went to sleep.

(DOOR CLOSES)

So, she went to sleep
with his daughter Mara.

And she was alone all night?
- Yes.

And she didn't look out onto the balcony
to call back her ex-husband,

to make him come back to her again?

There is an eyewitness,
Mrs. Mattei.

Vito has returned to the palace. And she is
the last person to see him.

What do we do,
shall we call the lawyer now?

(IN FRENCH)

Did he confess?

He's lost his mind
and tried to kill her.

She fought
and to defend himself he stabbed him.

What are you doing, drinking that?

And Spataro?

But you, one who beat you
for life,

you let him come up to your house at night,
soli?

Which is a woman, after all,
how much will it weigh, 50 kilos?

A one-ton body is loaded
to the Tiber? All by myself?

What the fuck kind of confession is this?

So what do we do with Spataro?

We let her go,
but we're keeping an eye on it because it was there.

The ex-wife and the lover,
both at the crime scene.

(POLICE SIRENS)

(DARK MUSIC)

(SHOTS)
I'll take everything away from you, do you understand?

I swear to you on my brother's soul
that you don't see Mara anymore!

You don't see her anymore!

VITO: Hello.

Dad.

- Hi, Dad.
- Hi, Dad.

What a beautiful tree.

VITO: Shall we go eat pizza?
NICOLA BAMBINO: Yes.

Dad, are you taking us on Saturday?
to Santa Claus's village?

Sure, we're all going together, huh?

PINK CHILD: No, mommy can't.

VITO: Mom can't, why?

Guys, eat.

Come on, Nicola, sit down.

What do you have to do on Saturday that you can't?
- Nothing, what should I do?

- He has to work, Mom.
- Oh, yeah?

What did I miss?

But no, it's Giulia
who asked me for a hand at the shop

for Christmas week, but...
it's nothing.

I'll get the water.

(SIGHS)

Good, you're doing well.

At least get out of the house a little,
you're always with the kids.

You get a little distracted.

Mh?

ROSA: Do you realize that everything
was what he said a lie?

He made fun of all this
time, the flyers...

MARA: Ugh, look at me.

Honey, you're very good.
I swear, you're good...

- He took the piss out of us all.
time. - You said a bad word.

Are you looking at me now?

- Livia? Honey, do you want some ice cream?
- Yes.

Livia!

(STEP)

Livia, go get some ice cream,
Please?

- Nicola, I was studying.
- Come on, five minutes.

(ROSA CRIES)

- Do you want ice cream?
- Yes.

- Let's go?
- Yes. - Come on.

We've always known it
that ended badly, right?

We talked about it, remember?

And it was you and me.

And now it's you and me, okay?

What do we do?

We're going to her place tomorrow.

And Rosa?

She stayed with Mara.

Does he hate me?

- And you?
- No.

Don't you hate me?

The lawyer told me that Aunt Mimma
he asked for custody of Mara.

You have to think about your sisters.

(IN FRENCH)

(CARLA IN FRENCH)

ALAIMO: How did you meet?
Carla Mattei?

MANUEL: In the office
where i work

we deal with women
victims of violence.

And what did he tell you about Semeraro?

That he was a violent man,
obsessive, jealous.

So, thanks to her it was possible
to find the courage to leave him?

Thanks to the support
that he received from us, yes.

It's our job. We give to...

..to these women the tools
to free yourself from these relationships

that trap them.

- But then you have a relationship?
- Yes, Carla and I, yes.

And Semeraro? Was he aware of it?

- Yes.
- And how did he take it?

Not good. He was following us,
he was hiding under my house.

One day he even attacked me.
I reported him.

He told me that... he would do
anything to get Carla back.

Anything, even killing?

I would imagine so.

Kill her, for example?

Yes.

So, all in all, death
Did del Semeraro help you?

Doctor...

Bocci, from the records it appears
that she was there that evening.

Let's be clear.

What was he doing there?
LAWYER: You don't have to answer.

At that time?

Was it there, yes or no?

Yes, yes, I was there.

Too hot. Better, right?

Do you want to tell me what you were doing there?

Carla called me in tears,

I knew that Semeraro that evening
he was going to have dinner there and I ran.

And what did he see?

I saw Carla desperate
and Semeraro's body on the ground.

Why didn't you call the police?

Listen, my client knows very well that
to have made a mistake. That's what we're here for.

MANUEL: Listen, doctor,

I'm not saying what we did
the right thing, for goodness sake, but...

Carla reported him for more
20 years old and got nothing.

In my opinion, if she had not defended herself
that evening, now the trial

you would be doing it to Semeraro.

But that evening at the moment
she wasn't there for the murder, right?

Right,
I wasn't there at the time of the murder.

And how does he know?
that it was self-defense?

Why was she beaten?
and raped for more than 20 years

and he would never have
let go.

Unless he was dead.

That's why she and Mattei
you decided to kill him.

No, absolutely not, that's not it.
Lawyer?

ALAIMO: Mr. Bocci,
she is under arrest.

You have arrived.

HI.

Hello, beautiful aunt.

WOMAN: Why don't you move?
here with us for a while?

Stay with us,
in the midst of the family.

So don't think about anything,
we are here.

(CRYING)

Dad.

(BELL)

ROSA: (crying) Dad.

(BELL)

Semeraro. As soon as you're finished
I need a hand over there.

Sandro, do you remember that for tomorrow
did I ask for permission?

Yes, but you have to stay here.

Mara, please, stop it.

You don't want to go to school
to play with other children?

They're all coming in.

We ask the teacher
if he can give you a snack, eh?

No, that's it.
You really have to go to school.

You have to come in, please. Come in.

Mara, are you listening to me?
Can you come in, please.

Everything OK?

He left his snack at home
and doesn't want to go to school.

- Do you like tart?
- Yes.

I always carry a spare,
you never know.

Thank you.

- Can we go to school now?
- Yes.

Hi love.

ALAIMO: Mrs. Carla Mattei
she killed her ex-husband

and father of her three children,
Mr. Vito Semeraro.

And he did it in cold blood.

And with the moral complicity of his
lover, Mr. Manuel Bocci,

who helped her hide
the body by throwing it into the Tiber.

This Public Prosecutor,
during the trial, he will demonstrate

that the accused did not act
in self-defense, as he claims.

But, on the contrary, he premeditated the whole thing.

Deciding well in advance
the place,

the day
and the manner of the murder.

Thank you.

(DARK MUSIC)

MAN: The Court.
(CAMPANELLA)

So, Mrs. Spataro,
if I understood correctly,

she stayed under the house
of Mrs. Mattei all evening...

..out of jealousy, is that correct?

Yes.

PRESIDENT: Mrs. Spataro,

come closer to the microphone
and raise your voice, please. Thank you.

Yes.

And what did he see?

Vito went out with his children and...

..the boys took the scooter
and Vito set off on foot.

And then she...

MILENA: Mrs. Mattei has gone out
on the balcony and called him back.

And Vito went back inside.

He came back and what did you do?

I waited.

ALAIMO: And then?

I left.

Is she gone? Like this?

She stayed all evening waiting
and then she left? Why?

I thought he had made up his mind
to spend the night with her

and I left.

Yes.

Could you tell us?
more or less what time?

Shortly after midnight.

Mrs. Spataro, would you define
Mr. Vito Semeraro as...

..a violent man?

He has always been kind and sweet to me.

Did he ever talk to her about his wife?

He complained about Carla, he said that...

..that she was capricious,
absent, selfish.

But then he always came back to her.

ALAIMO: He always came back to her.
How come?

Maybe because it was
still very much in love.

She says in love?
He was very much in love.

He would do anything for her.
ALAIMO: But he beat her.

- She made it all up. God is mine.
witness. - There are the complaints.

That woman is like the devil.

A disgrace. A disgrace,
Mr. Judge, you never cleaned the house.

He never cooked,

left Nicola when he was little,
home alone, looking after Rosa.

MIMMA: While my brother
he went around working

to feed everyone
the family. Do you know what that one did?

She went around acting like a slut.

Mrs. Semeraro, however,
no, we are in a court of law.

My brother was a saint.
Beautiful as the sun.

A hard worker.

A wonderful father and husband.

MIMMA: And she used it and then...

Huh? Thrown into the river.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(quietly) He's sleeping.

- How did it go?
- Well.

We ate, then we saw
the cartons and it collapsed.

Did it drive you crazy?

No. Nicola, the problem is not Mara.

- That is, not only that.
- What do you mean, sorry.

Guys, this is not
a house suitable for a little girl.

Then it's fine today, but we can't
keep it throughout the process.

- We're seeing how to do it.
GIULIO: Then there are the journalists.

All day out here,
they play continuously.

I didn't do anything today.
- So?

GIULIO: So...

Nicola, I'm sorry, but
We can't go on like this, can we?

So, do we have to go?

Answers.

Answers.

- Tell me.
- Come on.

Hey, are you done?

But it's true that mom left us
alone to go out with friends?

But which friends?

Is it true or not?
- I don't know, did it happen twice?

So think what a shitty life
she made a mother for a father.

At least, maybe, sometimes it is
mind your own business, right?

That's right too.

- Why didn't you come in?
- Are we going home?

(DARK MUSIC)

(CELL CLOSES)

(- CARLA: Do you love me?
- MANUEL: Yes.)

Would you like to stay with me?

But I'm with you.

No, I mean,
live here with me and Mara.

(- MANUEL: Do you really want it?
- CARLA: Yes.)

(CARLA: And if he doesn't leave me
freer?)

ALAIMO: Who was looking for
the first approach of the two?

Do you look at the President or the Public?
Ministry when it responds.

One day we decided
to have a drink together.

Who decided?

MANUEL: I don't remember.

Does she often happen to drink something with
the women who come to the clinic?

LAWYER: President,
there is opposition.

PRESIDENT: Rejected.

Answer the PM, Mr. Bocci.
- No.

It had never happened to me.

How did this relationship begin?

As we can say, when you have
have you consummated this passion of yours?

She took the initiative
or was it always Mrs. Mattei?

- It was Carla, but...
- An enterprising woman.

Mr President, that's not possible.
- Let's get to the point.

How many other relationships have you had?

I guess it's not hard to remember,
no?

Three.

Three?

In six months?
Where did you see each other every day?

Yes.

Help me understand. A love like this
new, why so little ardour?

A woman who has passed
everything that Carla went through,

It needs time.

Sure.

And while Mrs. Mattei
she takes her time, what does she do?

MANUEL: What he should do
any man, I was...

..willing to grant it to him
and I waited.

Were you waiting?

And while he was waiting...

..he took his daughter to school,
he did the shopping for her,

he took her to the doctor,
he paid her bills.

Mrs. Mattei's car,
when he first saw her,

What condition was it in?
- Not good.

Not good. And if I'm not mistaken,
she called it...

.."broken down, with insurance
expired and the battery is dead."

ALAIMO: These are his words Bocci,
he confirms?

MANUEL: Yes, I confirm.

How come it was
in this state of abandonment?

MANUEL: Why Vito Semeraro
prevented her from using it.

But that car
it gets going that evening,

and carries the corpse
of Mr. Semeraro up to the Tiber.

Did she fix it for you?
- Yes.

On his own initiative?

Carla told me that she would do it for her
comfortable a car with a little girl...

So the insurance pays for it.

He's taking her to the mechanic, right?

MANUEL: Yes.

A week before the murder.
What timing...

- President.
PRESIDENT: Let's stick to the facts.

ALAIMO: She's always there...

..for Mrs. Mattei.

And there's that evening too.

When Mrs. Mattei needs
to be saved from the monster,

from the ogre, as she called him.

Which would surely kill her.

I arrived and he was already dead.
I already said it.

ALAIMO: And he didn't want it.
not even help

when the lady decided
to save herself,

to carry the corpse
of Semeraro? To hide it?

No, not that time.

I left.

ALAIMO: And why?
Why did he back out?

Because I was scared.
I was a coward.

ALAIMO: A coward?

So she today
he's just playing the part

of the good man manipulated by this
woman, while, in reality,

he's trying to get out
from a premeditated murder

that she committed
with this woman,

the love of his life, just because,
as he admits, is he a coward?

MILENA: Nicola?

You don't know how much I think about you
and to your sisters.

You may not remember, but...

..when you were little
we went out together every now and then.

Me with your father, you and Rosa.

We went once
to ice skate.

Do you remember it?

You hurt yourself falling,

but you didn't want to
cry in front of your father.

And then you cried with me
and you hugged me.

But what the fuck do you want?

I wish I could so much
do something for you,

maybe you need some help with Mara.

I can at least take you
something to eat?

Hey. How's it going?

That's done, Rosa. Too much, even.

How is it going?

Tomorrow is cod day for Mara,
but I don't know how to do it.

I'll take care of it.

What's wrong?

Aunt Mimma called me.

He says that you and I
We can't do it alone

and that Mara should
go to the country to her.

Mara is here
and why did you answer her?

Why did you answer her?

Rosa, why did you answer her?
- What the fuck do you want?

Who the fuck are you to decide?
what do Mara and I do?

I am not your wife
nor your slave.

I'm 20 years old, I can't be a mother.

I asked you a question,
why did you answer her?

Why did you answer her?
I asked you a question.

Who holds the family together?

Who holds the family together?
- Get your fucking hands off!

- Look at me.
- What family? What the fuck are you talking about?

But you understood that there is a risk
that mommy doesn't go out anymore?

It just is.

Excuse me.

ROSA: I don't want to be without you.

CARLA: It's the first time
since I was 20 years old

that I don't have to take care of anyone.

The first time
that I can think of myself.

That I have time for myself.

That's a bad thought, right?

LAWYER: Why did you accept?

after everything he had done to her
her husband, to let him into the house?

Mara asked me this many times.

He wanted his birthday party
at home with his father.

My children did not have
a normal life.

I was happy to be able to say yes to her.
once to my daughter.

Then, if there is anything else...

..I do not know.

I said yes too
because I wanted to show him

that I was fine without him.

Because I wanted to... not love him anymore.

In any case, I couldn't escape.

If he wanted to take me home,
outside the house, he would have taken me.

What kind of husband was Vito Semeraro?

Until our wedding,
he was a sweet, loving man.

We met on vacation.

Then we never left each other again.

I never returned to France,
I stayed with him in Italy.

But...

..just as soon as we got married
he became a violent man

and never stopped.

LAWYER: Then why,
decide...

..to let a violent man in
a house where his children were?

I thought I could handle it.

I stayed with him for 20 years.

I fell in love with him
because he was a wonderful man.

E speravo sempre che tornasse
the person I had met.

She said
which was immediately violent.

Today...

..as you can also say
that somehow she still loved him?

Oh...

..you know perfectly well
what do you think?

What do you want?

I killed Vito...

..It is true,
but only to defend myself.

Can you tell us what happened?

Rosa...

..Nicola and Vito...

..they had just come out.

CARLA: The evening was over
so good.

I thought there wasn't one
danger.

Vito? The phone.

CARLA: But I was wrong.

Thank you.

Carla, can I give Mara a kiss?
for goodnight? One minute.

What could I do?

I told him yes, because...

..he seemed so peaceful.

Good night, my love.

Come on, Vito.

I want to see them more.

Sure.

There's Mara.

CARLA: First rule: don't react.

CARLA: Second rule:
pretend everything is normal.

VITO: Let me participate in life
of my children,

This is all I ask of you, Carla.

If Mara doesn't like the doll,
I'll get you something else.

I don't know what she likes
and it's your fault if I don't know.

CARLA: Third rule:
talk, bring him back to his senses.

You've always been a good father.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATES)

CARLA: Fourth rule...

Do you still see yourself with this?

CARLA: If the first three
they don't work...

Do you still see yourself with this?

CARLA: ..run away.

But there was Mara over there.

How could I escape?

Shh!

I realized I was going to die.

I've known it for years.

He told me that too.

"You're a dead man walking."

My children without me...

(LAMENT AND CRY)

I swear...

I swear to God I didn't mean to...
kill him.

CARLA: But the most important thing
for me they were my children.

I didn't want to lose them.

I had to be strong for them.

I cleaned everything for them.

I called Manuel,
I begged him to help me, but...

..but he didn't.

I was only thinking about my children.

It's them
who gave me strength...

..to drag Vito into the elevator.

Up to the garage.

And load it into the car.

I finished.

Any other questions, Mr. Prosecutor?

Mrs. Mattei, we are all
very moved by his words.

So, she...

She killed her husband
to save his children?

Yes.

Those children who,
according to his testimonies,

Mr. Semeraro has never
touched, you never mistreated them,

rather, he carried them in the palm of his hand.

Or not?

She finds it normal
that someone beats and rapes his wife

for more than 20 years?

She would leave her children
with a man like that?

PRESIDENT: Answer the questions
of the PM, Mrs. Mattei.

- She's a woman, she can understand me, right?
PRESIDENT: Mrs. Mattei.

Okay, we heard...

..the version of the facts
of Mrs. Mattei.

Mrs. Mattei continues to repeat
who managed to do it all by herself.

In fact, it also tells us
how she did it.

With the strength of a mother.

This is his secret.

Only if that is possible,

maybe Mrs. Mattei
Can you prove it to us yourself?

ALAIMO: If the Court permits.

BOY: Pink.

- Oh.
- Oh.

MARA: Shall we go to the park?
- Darling, you go in the meantime.

But stay where I can see you.

How are you?

Still pissed, right?

We were a bit of a jerk,
actually.

Real shit.

MARA: Look at me.

Good, love.

ROSA: Livia, how is she?

Well, I haven't seen her for a while,
actually.

I am sorry.

Listen... tonight I'm playing in San
Lorenzo, do you want to come to a club?

We also released the new one
video. - Really?

BOY: Wait,
I'll show you.

(MUSIC FROM HEADPHONES)

(MUSIC FROM HEADPHONES)

(SCREAMS)
Your sister...

Immediately!

Oh, God.

Love.

NURSE: Semeraro?

Semeraro?

Come on.

Ah, here is all the wind
that blows.

- Mh-mh.
- Eh.

I understand. What about here? What is it?

(DOOR OPENS)

MIMMA: Oh, he's here
the host.

- What is she doing here?
MARA: Nico.

- What did you do?
- I fell.

What the fuck happened?

Stop with these words,
be careful,

you have the baby in your arms.
- Shut up, get up.

What happened?

Oh? Are you still here?

All right...

The zia is not going.

Hmm? Good evening.

MIMMA: Education is mine
my mother taught it to me,

not like yours.

Come over there a little.

So what the fuck happened?
- It's not my fault.

No, and whose is it? Whose is it?

Why didn't you call me?

Rosa, why didn't you call me?

- Oh! Why didn't you call me?
- Because I'm afraid. - Of whom?

About you, you have changed, you are someone else,
All right?

Ah, have I changed?
So you call that bitch?

- But she wants to help us.
- I help.

I help, not her!

I help.
I work my ass off, not her.

Do you understand or not? Do you know what she does?
He's taking Mara away from us!

What if he's right?

If Mom Hadn't Done It
to defend ourselves?

PRESIDENT: Mrs Mattei, repeat.
exactly the gestures of the night

between July 30th and 31st,
Please.

Show us how you did it
to move her husband's body

after having brutally killed him.
- Your Honor.

We don't have all day,
Mrs. Mattei.

I'd say we've seen enough.

LAWYER: The situation is that
that is, I don't know what to tell you.

Your mother failed
the judicial experiment,

so nobody believes her anymore.

If he lied about the cover-up,

they will think
who lied about everything else,

That's how people's minds work.

So?

So on to the most important thing
of all which is self-defense...

..nobody will believe her anymore.

But my mother didn't lie.

In a trial it is not important
what is true or what is false.

The important thing is
what the judges believe.

And to your mother the judge
he doesn't believe it anymore.

the usual

Rosa?

NICOLA: Mara?

(TYPE KEYS)

MIMMA: Hi, Nicola.
- Pink Passami.

Oh, no, he just can't now.
come. - Pass me Rosa.

Calm down, Nicola. Hmm?

The girls are with me in the village.

They want to stay here.

They came back home.

(SHATTERED GLASS)

Oh. Is everything good?

- Very good.
- The cake is good, huh?

(INDISTINCT VOICES)

(CHILDREN'S VOICES)

Would you like some juice?

Thank you.

(THUMP AND SHATTERED GLASS)

VITO: Stop!
CARLA: Please...

VITO: You're a pain in the ass!

(FAILURE)

I'll kill you!

VITO: I swear I'll kill you!

(SHOTS)

(SCREAMS)

(WATER FLOWS)

Mother?

Yes, everything is fine, love.

You're never going away, are you, Mom?

But no, love,
I'm not going anywhere.

I'm here with you.

- I love you, Mom.
- Love.

(IN FRENCH)

(DOORBELL)

Nicola.

Did you want to help me?

Give me the car.

NICOLA: He really didn't beat you?

To me... he never loved me.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Did you come too?

They're not leaving here.

Nico'. How did you get here?

I have to tell you something.

What happened?

I have to tell everyone,
but I can't do it without you.

The Court considers
absolutely necessary,

in order to have
a complete evidentiary framework,

pursuant to art. 507,

to summarize
the testimony of Nicola Semeraro.

(INAUDIBLE WORDS)

PRESIDENT: Mr. Semeraro,
according to the defendant's defense,

she has something relevant
to declare about that night.

I was there all these years...

I was there when...
my father beat my mother.

I was there when...

When he said
that would have killed her.

I was there when the police arrived.

He asked for the documents,
he verbalized it and then left.

My father remained there.

I was there when...

..he begged her not to leave him.

And... she forgave him.

I was always there.

And... even at night
between July 30th and 31st, I was there.

(BUZZ)

It's not true, we left together.
What are you saying?

PRESIDENT: Mr. Semeraro,
I have to interrupt his exam,

she is clearly doing
self-incriminating statements.

He wants to avail himself
of the right to remain silent?

- No, I-I'm moving on.
PRESIDENT: You're welcome.

After my sister's... party,

I went to Trastevere,
I saw... two friends.

Then around 2:00, 2:30,
I came back home.

(DOOR OPENS)

What happened?

What happened?

(CARLA IN FRENCH)

What did he do to you?

Help me.

My mother wouldn't have me
never asked for something like that,

if it hadn't been found...
in a desperate situation.

I helped her.

What was I supposed to do?

Is Mara still sleeping?

NICOLA: Mara was sleeping.

We decided to leave her at home,
hoping he wouldn't wake up.

So, we took the car,
I drove.

But I never thought
to go to the police...

..because I wasn't thinking about anything. And...

So, we are...
I drove to the Tiber and...

..and we threw it away.

Nicholas. Nicholas!

MIMMA: Nicola, it was your blood!

What the fuck does that mean?

ROSA: It was dad!

What the fuck are you saying? What are you saying?
that you're sorry. You disgust me!

Go away! I don't want to see you anymore.
You have to go away!

(muffled) Go!

(MUSIC) PRESIDENT: Silence,
otherwise I'll have the classroom cleared.

NICOLA: My mother lied.

Because it's all life
that protects us,

to me... and my sisters.

And all that he did,
he always did it for us.

My sister and I knew it.
which ended like this.

I imagined myself a thousand times

here to testify on death
of my mother.

And... if it didn't happen,

it's because my mother
that evening she defended herself.

And... that's why I don't judge her.

Because I know very well
and I understand very well...

..what did she go through?
and passed.

And that's the only thing I ask of you,

before judging her.

Try to understand her. Thank you.

PRESIDENT: Please, you may go.

We've finished for today, let's postpone
for the start of discussions.

MAN: The Court.

PRESIDENT: The hearing is adjourned.

LAWYER: It went well.

Thank you.

And Nicola?

The verdict is favorable,
you'll see that nothing will happen.

Don't worry it will be fine.

Ok.

- Excuse me, can I have a cigarette?
BOY: Sure.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Where is the kitchen?
- It's down here.

Mh.

Where do you make the bedroom?

Who.

Did you finish the house?

No...

No...

Who's here?

Nothing.

But Rosa?

- She went to buy candles.
- Does dad have to come too?

No, love, daddy's not coming.

And why the other time?
did he have to come?

- Spend?
- Dad.

- Why?
- (quietly) It's a secret.

Tell me.

No?

Tell me in my ear.

Last year mom said to say
that I wanted dad at my party.

CARLA: Did they eat the little fish?

- No.
CARLA: Come on, come on.

It is not true.

Tell me it's not true.

You were making fun of me too.

But then you came to me in tears.

Maybe he didn't even hit you
that evening.

What difference does it make,
that night or another?

You know he would have killed me.

(DOOR CLOSES)
ROSA: Found it.

MARA: Rosa has arrived.
ROSA: Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Mother?

CARLA: I never wanted to
involve you. I swear.

ROSA: Mom?

(DARK MUSIC)

MARA: Nicola.

ROSA: Nicola, are you coming?
