#to be an art film. #

#And me?#

#I had a few lines then nothing. #

- Relax.

#- We all agree. #

#We're secondary characters, okay,#

#no names even,#

#but you could#

#give us some development. #

#Get lost, scram. #

Please! Can I say...

#You talked only about you. #

#Me too, I'm Filippo's mother#

#and stepmother to Caterina,#

#she's the main character. #

#I'd say my part is a bit too small,#

#wouldn't you?#

Yes, you're right.

#Leave him alone! He's an artist,#

#he needs his space,#

#his tranquility, right Ezio?#

Good Vincenzo,

I'm still finding my style,

the right words,

you know what I mean.

#Of course I know, the words... #

#You could have me say#

#just a little more. #

#The idea of the illness is nice,#

#but it goes nowhere. #

#What happens next?#

#Will I die?#

#Or recover? I'll will if you want. #

#- Can I ask a question?#

#- Yes, Mom. #

#Who's Ezio?#

I'm the author!

The one writing this movie

and who decides, if you don't mind.

#But I want to fall in love. #

You want to fall in love?

Great, she wants to fall in love!

Know what we'll do?

#I feel great, I feel really great. #

#But... #

#What the f***'s a seagull doing#

#in a city with no sea?#

Watch out!

Hold it!

Hold it everyone, I'm a doctor!

You're in good hands.

Do you feel anything?

Dizziness, shortness of breath,

flashing scotomata...?

- I'm fine.

- Nauseous feelings?

Guilty feelings, at least!

Stay down, the ambulance

will get you on your feet.

The lady crossed on red.

Call the police, witnesses,

she crossed on red.

Stay down!

#I'm on an old streetcar,#

#the kind with wooden seats,#

#I'm going home. #

#I'd been shopping, some lingerie. #

#At a certain point#

#I smell a strange smell,#

#like trash or something. #

#I try to figure where it's coming#

#from and feel all eyes#

#are staring at me. #

#I have to get off this streetcar!#

#It was my father,#

#he was the one stinking. #

Yes?

#There's an urgent call#

#for Miss Caterina. #

#I'll transfer it to your office. #

- I'm sorry I...

- Please.

When?

How is she?

Alright, I'll be right there.

Is something wrong?

I apologize for changing

the agenda without notice,

I know how urgent the

Mortaretti case is, I'll be brief.

I'm forced to resign.

I've been diagnosed with a tumor,

malignant, of course.

I'm not sure

I'll undergo any medical treatment,

I want to decide calmly.

I need time with my family,

I hope you'll understand.

Mr. Agosti, your wife's been hit.

Is it serious?

Your wife or the fact she was hit?

My wife, how is she?

They didn't say,

but they'd like you to come.

Call Filippo at tennis,

I'll pick him up in ten minutes.

- Did they say how she is?
