What's wrong

with your daughter, anyway?

Like I said, it's complicated.

Her boyfriend is

in trouble for drugs,

and he wants her

to take the blame.

He wants to use her.

She's easily led.

Grazie.

They've left the village,

took off to the west.

All right, so she's heading

back to the airport,

so we'll just meet her there, right?

Can you hand me my bag?

Can you just get the passports?

Here? They're in my purse, yeah.

Just get the passports.

There is only one passport.

What? Yeah. I think it's yours.

Well, you just... Ok, but...

No. No.

My credit card's missing.

Ok, let me drive.

Her passport's gone, and

my credit card's missing.

No, I can drive!

Ok, let me drive.

You control the passports and...

I'll drop you at the next place.

Devo Andare a Roma.

I'm not going to Rome, dearie.

Trust me, I'm going

straight to NYC.

Aeroporto.

Roma. Aeroporto.

Roma.

Aeroporto, comrade.

Roma!

You psycho! You broke my face!

This is my face you broke!

Seat belt.

Hold on. That's airport, right,

"Aeroporto"? To the right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No?

But my mother, god bless,

she wants to go to Rome.

Well, my daughter, god bless

her, occupied wall street.

I tell you, they're

going to the airport.

You know, your daughter

will give in to my mamma,

and they will go to Rome.

Please.

Wow. Now you know my daughter

better than I know my daughter.

Insofar as it is

truly possible...

I just meant that as

a rhetorical question.

Rhetorical question,

it is Italian, so...

Listen to me. I am 100% positive

they are going to the airport.

You wanna go to the

airport or to Rome?

You must feel pretty freaking

good about yourself.

Yes.

I think we should

call the police.

No.

Why not?

Look, she's a good kid.

I just don't want her

to get in trouble again.

She had run-ins

with the police before?

No, no, no.

Well, yes, but...

I mean, it wasn't

anything, you know...

It wasn't serious.

She just liberated some rabbits,

you know, for ethical reasons.

Oh.

From an experimental laboratory?

Well, from a pet store,

but the conditions were dep...

Look, they'll stop soon, right?

I mean, they'll get hungry, and

you guys have siesta, right?

So they'll just...

This plan sucks.

Wow.

Look. There's a

snack bar up ahead.

I reckon we've

got some distance,

and I could really use a coffee.

First time in Italy?

Yep. Uh-huh.

You like it?

It's everything I dreamed of.

You staying for long time?

No, as a matter of fact.

I'd like to get out of here

as quickly as possible.

Do you think you can check

when the next flight

to New York leaves?

On your computer.

Please. It's important.

Ah, we've lost them.

No, no, no. Trust me.

Josh Appignanesi

Josh Appignanesi (born 1975) is a British film director, producer, and screenwriter. Appignanesi is best known for the feature film Song of Songs (2006), starring Natalie Press, which he directed, co-wrote and co-produced. The film won several awards including a special commendation for Best British Film at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Made on a tiny budget, the film is a dark study of the intense relationship between a brother and highly religious sister in London's orthodox Jewish community. The film had a small, arthouse UK release but received critical acclaim; The Observer said it "reveals a distinctive and bold new voice in British cinema." He recently directed and script edited the comedy feature film The Infidel, written by David Baddiel and starring Omid Djalili, Richard Schiff, Archie Panjabi, Amit Shah and Yigal Naor. Produced by Arvind David at Slingshot, the film follows the adventures of a British Muslim everyman (Djalili) who discovers he was born Jewish. The film was released internationally in Spring 2010, in the UK with distributor Revolver Entertainment. He has written and directed several short films, most notably Ex Memoria (2006) which also stars Natalie Press as well as Sara Kestelman in a study of a woman with Alzheimer's disease, funded by the Wellcome Trust; and Nine 1/2 Minutes (2003), a romantic comedy starring David Tennant. He lives in London and studied anthropology at King's College, Cambridge, where he was a contemporary and close friend of the novelist Zadie Smith. He is the son of writers Lisa Appignanesi and Richard Appignanesi. more…
