Can we find a board to put
under the mattress, for my back?
It's already there.
I put it there yesterday.
What's the matter, dear?
Are you crying?
- Have I said something wrong?
- It's because I'm so happy to see you.
Let's hug tightly,
as we did when you were little.
I only talk about myself.
Now you must tell, Eva dearest.
Let's sit down.
- How are you, little Eva?
- I'm very happy.
That's good. But isn't life here
very isolated?
- Viktor and I have our parish work.
- Yes, of course you do.
I often play in the church. Last month
I gave an evening recital.
I played, and then I talked about
the music. It was a great success.
- You will have to play for me.
- I'd love to.
I gave five school recitals
in Los Angeles.
Imagine, playing and talking
What a success - but awfully tiring.
There's something I have to tell you.
Helena is here.
You should have written and told me.
If I'd told you about Helena
you wouldn't have come.
- I'm sure I'd have come all the same.
- I'm sure you wouldn't.
Leonardo's death wasn't enough.
You had to drag poor Lena here, too?
Mother, Helena's lived here
for two years.
I wrote to tell you we were going
to ask her to come and live here.
- I wrote to you.
- I never received that letter.
Or you didn't bother to read it.
- Isn't that an unfair accusation?
- Yes, I'm sorry.
I can't bear to see her,
at least not today.
Mother, Helena is a wonderful person.
She's so looking forward
to seeing you.
She was so comfortable
in the nursing home.
I wanted to have her here.
- Are you sure she's better off here?
- Yes, she is.
And I have someone to care for.
Has she... I mean, has she...
Is she... worse?
Yes, of course she's worse.
It's part of the illness.
Then let's go and see her.
- Are you sure you want to?
- Do I have a choice?
I've never had a taste for people
who are unaware of their motives.
- Do you mean me?
- Take it the way you like. Come on.
My dearest Lena.
I've thought of you so often,
every day.
She's got a cold. She's afraid
she'll give it to you.
I'm not afraid - I haven't had a cold
for twenty years!
What a lovely room you have. And the
view is the same as from my room.
Helena wants you to hold her head
and look at her.
- Like this? Is this good?
- Yes.
I'm so glad Eva's taking care of you.
I thought you were still at the home.
I was going to come and see you
before I left. But this is much better.
- We can be together every day.
- Yes.
Are you in pain?
No.
Your hair looks lovely.
It's in your honour, Mummy.
If you want, I could read to you.
Would you like that?
And we could go out in the car.
