Corpo celeste Page #2

Synopsis: Set deep in the south of Italy, Corpo Celeste is the story of 13 year old Marta who is struggling to resettle after ten years growing up in Switzerland. Bright-eyed and restless, she observes the sights, sounds and smells of the city but feels very much an outsider. Marta is about to undergo the rite of confirmation. In the convention of the Catholic Church she takes catechism but confronts the morality of the local Catholic community. A series of subtle moments trace her journey as she connects and conflicts with her mother, sister and the Sunday school teacher Santa. From experiencing her period to making a bold decision to cut her hair, Marta begins to shape her own life for the first time since moving back to Italy. Corpo Celeste heralds the arrival of a young and distinctive voice. Alice Rohrwacher's writing and directing debut is a sensitive unveiling of the moral and religious layers that can smother adolescence.

Happy birthday, Rosetta dear.

- Did Marta make it?

- Yes, by herself.

- Who wants some?

- Me!

You, Uncle?

No thanks. I'm really full.

I'm stuffed too.

Let's taste it!

Delicious!

You don't know what you're missing.

I just eat and eat

and leave no room for dessert.

- Is that my bra?

- Rosa, not now...

- If she takes my stuff,

she should tell me.

- Don't argue.

It's your birthday.

What's she need a bra for?

Look at her! She's a child!

Stop!

She runs off!

Where's she going?

She doesn't accept criticism.

It's easy just to run off!

"Holy Ghost, in times of trouble

I seek you and call you. "

Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani.

Like water flowing

from the font of the sea,

I entrust myself to you.

Free me from

the temptations of the world.

Give me wisdom, intellect,

counsel, fortitude, knowledge,

"mercy, fear of God. "

Holy Ghost,

in times of trouble

I seek you and call you.

Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani.

Give me...

mercy, intellect,

counsel, fortitude,

knowledge...

Fear of God!

- Is he totally naked?

- Yes.

- Life-size?

- Yes.

Even down there?

Children, you don't understand.

Jesus' body is different from ours.

It's a spiritual body,

heavenly, holy.

Can I go to the bathroom?

Jasmine, especially you,

listen to me.

It's a figurative crucifix,

meaning you see

the whole figure of Jesus.

- When will they bring it?

- The day of Confirmation.

On a donkey!

It's Father Mario's idea,

our reverend parish priest.

He wants to organize

a grandiose ceremony

for when this gift is unveiled.

I'm tuning into God

He's the right frequency...

- Have you seen Ignazio?

- No, I'm sorry.

- Thank you.

- Father Mario, excuse me...

Wouldn't you like to hear

the children's Confirmation song?

Yes.

Children, keep the tempo.

I'm tuning into God

He's the right frequency

I'm the one tuning in

He's a goal for me

I want to choose Jesus...

I listen to His voice

I listen to His command

He teaches me so much

He teaches me what I'm worth

I want to choose Jesus...

March elections are, for Calabria,

a testing ground...

What treatment!

Go to bed.

No, I'm fine here.

I dreamed my teeth were falling out.

Bad sign, right?

Pretty much.

Come here.

Are your Confirmation classmates nice?

Normal.

That's good.

- What?

- They're not abnormal.

- What do you do?

- We sing.

Let me hear.

- I don't remember.

- Come on, a little bit!

- No, come on...

- Are you shy?

You're shy!

Come on, a little bit for your mom

who has to go to work.

Okay, but close your eyes.

Really close them!

I want to choose Jesus...

Oh, God.

Why are you so selfish?

Let Mom sleep!

You sleep at night, don't you?

Rosetta, I can defend myself.
