First Love Page #2

Synopsis: Vittorio is looking for a woman who matches his ideal. Through a classified ad he meets Sonia, a sweet, pleasant, intelligent girl. However, she weighs 125 pounds -- which according to Vittorio is way too much. A goldsmith by trade, Vittorio is obsessed with the desire to shape Sonia's body and mind as does a fire with gold. Almost imperceptibly Sonia becomes a passive participant and the relationship grows into a reciprocal masochistic game. When the two lovers isolate themselves in a country house in the Veneto hills, they dangerously lose touch with reality and the rest of the world.

For you and me to live together.

Why is it too soon?

- You don't know what I'm like.|- Who say so?

You hardly know me.

Sonia!

Well, I already signed|a pre-contract.

- Yes...|- Sure.

And you can't pull out.

I can't pull out,|he just reminded me.

Unless you pay a penalty.

What do you want me to do?|You signed the pre-contract.

Just say yes,..

..I won't live here alone.

You can say no too,|but just say so.

- Think about it, ma'am.|- How much f***ing time do you need?

Say yes or no.

If you say no I'll lose money,|but I don't give a sh*t.

I just need to know.

- There was nothing here before?|- No,..

..we made it all.

I'm a taxi driver,..

..so when you come home,|you have to create your own nest,..

..where you can escape, dream...|- He's talking your ear off?

Kind of.

- An interesting guy.|- Like him?

Yes...

Do we accept him?

Let's flip a coin?

Heads or tails? Heads!

Can I take the yellow box|that you like?

Just this once...

I've never felt|this anxious before.

Maybe it has to do with you.

Something makes me feel....|I don't feel comfortable,..

..to avoid saying I'm nervous,..

..I'll say I'm uncomfortable|on this f***ing hammock.

- Actually, before I fall off....|- I don't understand...

You're uncomfortable because|Sonia's moving in with me?

I was relaxed before,..

..then we mentioned Sonia and there...|my freedom.... I don't know.

- Your freedom of what?|- Freedom to be at ease.

What's worrying you?

I don't know you.|It's my sister's choice.

But as siblings,|we live together for many years,..

..we share a garden too,|the freedom to stretch out here,..

..with you looking at me|in that creepy way....

Dunno, maybe...|it's pre-departure anxiety.

- Are the lyrics nice?|- Very.

- Sorry.|- No problem.

Lift your back a bit.

Carrot?

See?

- Not bad, 51 and....|- 51 and a half. - A tad more.

- Very good.|- Thanks. - You're welcome!

- Are you happy?|- I'd say so. - Me too.

This weighs nothing.

- It's a weird collection.|Hi, Vittorio. - How's it going?

What are we supposed to do|with this stuff?

I was thinking...|we could manufacture them.

- These?|- Let's see how we'll manufacture them.

- This collection?|- Why not?

- It's not commercial stuff.|- Anything's possible.

But it's not sellable.

If we sell this stuff,|we'll be done for. It's not sellable.

So much detail, no weight,|huge loss.

We should make what your father did,|bracelets like this.

We'll still do them.

This is new stuff,|we'll keep doing those.

But it's ugly new stuff,|it's not marketable!

Don't worry,|let someone else decide!

Let's try making a small series,|then we'll evaluate the profits.

No problem,|you'll do the evaluating.
