...to repay me.

Salt in your milk

Go to sleep.

Muros... feast... that way...

Somebody, help me...

I'M GAVINO

SON OF THE SHEPHERD, EFISIO

WHO IS THE SON:

OF SHEPHERD, LUCA

THE COLD HAS FILLED

OUR PENS WITH FLEAS

THE FATTEST ONES

ARE UNDER MY ARMPITS

I'M ELIGIO,

SON OF SHEPHERD GIOVANNI

WHO WAS THE SON:

OF THE CARABINIERE, ENRICO

I HAD TO EA:

CHEESE THAT WAS TOO FRESH

WHEN I BLOW ON MY TONGUE

IT BURNS:

ANGELS OF PARADISE

WHO PLAY SO SWEETLY

I'M MATTEO, AND I BEG YOU:

LET A BASIN:

OF BOILING WATER APPEAR

THAT I CAN PUT MY FEET IN

FOR I'M DYING OF COLD

MINE IS A PRAYER

Gavino is slipping away.

If only I knew how to

lure him back.

Am I getting old?

Or maybe...

I'm not as intelligent...

...as I thought I was.

I have to concentrate.

I have to keep my mind nimble.

Don't tremble, little mare.

Look, I'm steady.

No, I tremble a little too.

But if Signor Gellon spoke

the truth...

...we'll meet and make

peace forever.

Let this day mark peace.

I'm grateful you accepted

to shear...

...the flock with me...

...as custom wants.

Stop!

I'll tell you when he's dead!

He's already dead!

Gellon!

Signora, I'm going.

I'm leaving a guard in front

of the house.

Efisio, you take care of

selling everything.

I'm going to my relatives

in Australia...

...before they kill me too.

You're like my own family.

Get rid of the houses,

the livestock...

...the olive grove.

I'll take care of everything

Though I've little money.

I'd like to have

the olive grove.

I nursed it for your family.

Plant by plant.

Sebastiano would have approved.

But you must make me

a good price...

...also in consideration

of the other sales.

Do what you want!

The Commissioner

wants to see you.

Again?

We'll take care of him.

Put his gold rings on.

I'm doing it for you.

Sebastiano is my witness.

The window.

For you, Gavino,

I'm doing it...

...with the grove you'll be

a landowner.

Me and your mother are old...

...but you'll profit by it.

In time its worth

will multiply...

...you'll have all

you desire...

...you can't even imagine

how much.

And so our hands

must be united...

...and I must guide them.

Let's dress him.

He was beautiful...

Poor Sebastiano,

he was unlucky.

Though he was rich.

It'll be different for me.

My father said so.

Forgive me, I shouldn't, but...

I keep thinking of what

I shall have...

...thanks to you.

An accordion, one of those

real ones...

...with 85 keys, made of

mother-of-pearl.

I'll be an owner too.

I don't want to get old.

If we have the money,
