- He's graduating soon.

Then we'll see about college.

Why don't you let him talk?

He's 18, he drives... let him talk.

You didn't tell your girlfriend

you were leaving.

- Who?

- Don't you live with a woman?

Yeah, it's called a "roommate".

I'm taking a nap,

I didn't sleep a wink last night.

So nice to talk to you!

F*** you!

What is this?

It doesn't look like a hospital.

- It's called a "hospice".

- What?

Hospice.

- She's asleep. Go ahead.

- What about you?

I'm going home.

You can sleep in the armchair.

Valeria...

Ma'am, are there any night buses

for the station?

A shuttle?

Get out of here!

You're hurting me!

- Daddy doesn't want you to.

- Shut up, dummy. Go to sleep.

You need to shut up

and get out of this house!

Get out of my sight!

Understand?

You're trying to kill me!

Get dressed kids. We're leaving.

Damn me for agreeing

to stay in Livorno.

Damn me for coming to Livorno.

You suffocated me.

You're trying to kill me!

What are you doing?

You're the one leaving!

You're leaving! The kids stay here!

- I don't want mom to leave.

- Shut up!

- When dad calms down, it'll be fine.

- No, it won't be fine.

Take that off!

You know what?

The three of you, get out! Leave!

Get out of my sight!

I don't want to see you again

for 100 years!

If you dare come up those stairs again

I'll kill you!

Did you all see that?

I kicked her out! Mind your own

f***ing business now.

We're fine.

The show's over.

Did you see everything, Nesi?

Idiot!

Better!

- Mom, I forgot Gigi!

- Your bear? We'll come back for him.

I want him now! He can't stay alone!

- Shut up.

- Bruno hit me!

I barely touched her.

You forgot your shoes!

Come here.

- She's a dummy, it's hopeless.

- Bruno called me a dummy!

Behave, kids.

Let's go surprise grandma and auntie.

The three of us will sleep together.

You'll have fun with mom!

I picked up a guitar

And I play for you

It's time to learn

I know I can't play

But I play for you

Do you hear this voice?

The first beautiful thing

I got from life

Is your young smile, is you...

Slippers, in this weather?

- Mom made us hurry.

- But I put on my shoes.

Shhh, grandma's asleep.

You're crazy!

Walking around with two kids

at this hour!

He went nuts, he pulled my hair.

You probably drove him nuts!

I knew it would happen.

Don't you start!

You show up and expect people

not to judge you!

Have some candy,

then the three of us will get in bed.

- Where'll I sleep?

- On the couch, is that a problem?

What color candy do you want?

We have white, pink, blue...

- Let's go, kids.

- What? Where are you going?

- Anywhere, but not here.

- Leave the kids here.

- My kids will come with me.
