secretly,"

"because no one...no one

will forgive our love"

What did you answer?

I didn't know what to say

It was a bit embarrassing too

Then he just stopped.

He looked me in the eyes

"l don't want to give up

our love. Do you?"'

He really said that?

Yes

For a moment I was...

I tried to give him an answer

Any answer. I don't know

how he took it

You didn't understand

who he was talking to?

No, but he was convinced he was

talking to the person he loved

So he wasn't talking

about me...I mean

about her. About the woman

that he couldn't love

What was he thinking about?

Who knows how it ended...

Take him to the police tomorrow

Yes, I have to take the kids

to school and shop, but..

You can always call if

you need a hand. I'll give you

- my mobile number

- Alright

Is everything alright?

Is everything alright?

Listen, I'm coming in

What are you doing?

You couldn't sleep?

You couldn't either

Did the children stay

with your friend?

Yes, but Emine's kids

sleep here often too

I like the way your husband

plays with his children

Yes, Filippo is a good father

Have you known him long?

We've been married for 9 years,

but were together before that

It was different

in the beginning. Then...

Then the worries, the children,

like everyone else I guess

It must be beautiful to watch

love grow that started only as

passion...

and to help it change,

to protect it

from the passage of time

Well,

that's not always easy

Do you like to dance?

Yes, but I haven't danced

for years

It's been longer for me

- Martina, hurry up

- We'll be ready in two minutes

- What time is it?

- Too early for you

I'll take the kids to school

and then go shopping with Emine

I swear I'll leave him

at the police station today

No, I have to take his clothes

to the cleaners later

Alright,

just don't complain later

I took him to the pub

last night I almost lost him,

but thank God I got help.

You know, that guy that..

Alright, I'll tell you

some other time

You be quiet,

I'll talk to her

Comb your brother's hair,

it's sticking up

It took me an hour

to get it like this

Don't yell,

you'll wake him up

She doesn't understand,

she's an old lady

He doesn't care about the old man.

He wants to do you!

Come on, he hasn't even

thought about that

Don't you think

I'd have noticed?

He spied on you

just like you spied on him!

I didn't spy on him!

You've been acting out a soap opera

for months

- For this afternoon, please

- This will take three days

Please, it's really urgent

It's Saturday, we're closed

this afternoon. No way, sweetie

It's a human issue

If someone begs you

there must be a reason!

Come on,
