Juliet of the Spirits Page #2

Synopsis: Juliet lives in a beautiful house by the ocean. Her sisters, and especially her Mother overshadow her with their beauty. She is a spiritual, superstitious and naive woman. She visits a psychic seer who tells her she must follow the sex trade in order to be happy. Not long after she meets her eccentric and sexy neighbour, Suzy, who, by all counts appears to be a high class prostitute and encourages Juilet into sexual acts which make her guilty and nervous. A rare night when her husband is at home she wakes up to catch him talking to another woman on the phone. He calls out the name "Gabriella" while sleeping, but when she questions him he lies his way out of it. She finds out who Gabriella is and fears her husband will leave her. Juliet begins having visions who accuse and terrorize her. The pinnacle of the visions comes at the end where it is implied she realizes she would be better off without her husband and is ultimately emotionally emancipated.

to anybody.

You're a derelict!

Hold it!

Don't break the chain.

- What's happening?

- Who's feeling ill?

Switch the light on, now!

Adults playing such games!

It was an otherworldly message.

Olaf, leave now!

Yes, I understand. Ciao.

I'm here, silly!

You gave us such a fright!

Still, this lady is very gifted.

Very, very gifted.

Elisabetta!

Has my husband left?

He just left, signora.

He didn't want to wake you,

because you were up so late.

He won't be home for dinner.

The nanny took your nieces

to the beach.

The pond needed some cleaning.

The leaves stop up the drains.

Bravo, Gasperino.

Beautiful day, isn't it?

I'd like to fly

into the arms

The arms of my beauty

- Go away. Shall I get the plumber?

- Yes, fine.

He's from my village.

The water tank is still very noisy.

"For everybody."

"Love for everybody."

I'll set the table right away.

Iris?

Have you ever heard

radio transmissions on a plane?

The ether is full of voices

giving orders.

Human voices,

voices full of phlegm.

Such naivete is

offensive to reason.

They're electric fields,

unidentified substances.

What about communications

from other planets?

- You, be quiet!

- Let me speak.

I read in Reader's Digest...

I'd advise you against

these experiments.

As a child, I'd just shut my eyes,

and I would see...

I would close my eyes and see balls!

In beautiful colors!

Good for you!

Castles, nocturnal plants, forests

and little tiny faces.

They stared at me

with sparkling eyes.

I was afraid.

Still, it was beautiful.

It went on for years,

and then, nothing.

I just had to close my eyes...

What if I told you

it was just indigestion?

When we die, we're a pile of bones.

We hope the cat won't get us.

Take a swim,

buy a horse, jump obstacles.

But above all, tell your husband

to make love more often.

Nothing's better

for toothaches and spirits.

Yes, I know.

There's a real vision!

The kind of vision

even I believe in.

Raffaello, sit down. Please!

I'd like them day and night.

She's our neighbor,

but we're not really acquainted.

Ildegarda!

You may not be acquainted,

but I'd love to be.

Mademoiselle,

go fetch the girls, please.

Rossella, Sabrina!

What are you doing there?

Don't disturb the lady

or she'll get angry.

- What about me?

- Thank her.

Let's go, girls.

I'm going for a swim, ma'am.

Our dear Juliet

sees magic everywhere.

"A happy life reigned

in Catherine's home.

Her husband adored her,

her children were growing up

strong and hard-working.

Naturally, the men in the village set her

as an example for their wives.

The women began dreading her,

like smoke in their eyes. "

Juliet,

please help me.

I'm old.
