She had left me among the ears

on a clear night,

exposed to the moon.

And I did play with that fair moon.

And the moon put a spell on me.

On every full moon,

the sickness overcomes me.

But it's a sickness

that affects only me,

the others have just to beware of it.

Just one night and that's it.

I, myself, forget everything

the next morning.

I hoped my wife

would be more fearIess.

But she is not.

We can arrange it like this.

On every full moon, her mother

will come up to stay with her

while I shut myself

out of my house.

Stop it.

Stop it now.

Stay calm.

Stay calm.

On the next full moon,

I'll come to your place.

You'll scream more than me.

I won't come alone.

I'll come with Saro.

With Saro?

It was he who told you?

We'll tell him together

tomorrow morning.

We don't have other men

in our family...

I couldn't give him to you as husband

because he doesn't own anything.

But as a cousin and protector,

that dumbhead will know what to do.

You think that Saro and me...

You talk too much.

I'll go ahead and wait for you.

Your mother is right.

Next full moon , I'll come

to your husband's place.

And you call someone like that

a husband?

Sidora, who doesn't have faults?

Bata is sick.

What about me?

I have an even bigger fault.

You, Saro?

I didn't have the strength to recover

my wits and have you marry me.

You cut yourself?

It was the barber.

It's sweet.

I can't stand to wait a month

for the next full moon.

Don't worry.

There's still time.

The probIem will come

when the moon's horns are gone.

It's the first time we have guests

up here at Roba's.

This party is a little special.

Come here.

I want your mother and Saro

to be treated like special guests.

-Get the trousseau's table cloth.

-Yes!

I love you, Bata.

Do you believe me?

Forgive me.

Me? Forgive you?

Here they come.

What about having dinner outside?

Madonna, help me!

I am dying. I am dying.

I'll never ask you for anything again.

Never again.

Make me happy, just for one time.

Just once.

Just for tonight.

Would you like more?

I do.

She won't come out from over there.

The moon is whimsical.

She never comes out

where you expect her to.

But she and I

know each other pretty well.

And I know that tonight she'll

come out from behind the mountain.

There's still time for some grappa.

I distilled it with my own hands.

It's illegal.

So I keep it buried in the garden.

I tied this iron wire on its top,

and when I go to take it,

I can find it

by groping my way in the dark.

And if there is the moon,

I can see it with my eyes.

When there is a full moon, too?

No.

I am afraid.

Sidora, you already know

what it's like.

And Saro is a man.
