Palermo Shooting Page #2

---

"Great harbor."

Did you ever imagine

how it was for your mother

to see her house for the last time?

Her last time at the hairdresser?

There is always a last time, eventually.

But we don't usually know.

So you need to do everything

as though it were the last time.

My last morning with the sheep.

The last stranger I look in the eye.

Your tear just now,

the last I'll ever see.

You have to take everything

dead seriously.

Just not yourself!

Take care!

Of course Milla will come.

She wanted it!

You have to tell her right away.

How can we organize it so fast?

Do you want to take the whole team?

No, no big team.

An assistant, make-up, stylist.

- How can I get you all on a flight?

- Harry's plane.

- Ask him to loan it to us for a day.

- I'm not sure we can.

Harry shares the plane.

Does it have to be now?

Yes. This afternoon... to Palermo.

Palermo?

Giovanni has all the connections.

Let him organize it.

Any idea where you want

to do the shoot?

No, I was never there.

I'm just checking some pictures.

What's missing?

What's missing in my life is...

What is missing, anyway?

Pack everything up

and fly back as soon as you can.

"23 calls in your absence"

When was I really present lately?

Actually "there"?

Take it from me:

it's a shitty feeling when

everything falls apart all of a sudden.

Don't move.

Do you mind if...

...if I finish my drawing?

German?

"Little Hans went alone..."

Julian! How's it going?

Good. You on vacation?

The new photos of Milla are great!

They bought them, but did you

need to go all the way to Palermo?

I think we did.

When are you coming back?

Don't know yet.

It's the right place right now.

Do you know what Palermo means?

No idea.

- The Mafia Capital?

- Very funny.

It means "big harbor",

mother of all harbors.

Call if you need anything.

See you.

"Alley of Death."

Such a nice camera!

It worked for 40 years.

I also have a Leica.

Are you a photographer?

I photograph Palermo.

Life. Death.

You photograph death?

There's a lot of death in Palermo.

To honor the dead, to remember them.

So their memory won't be lost.

Tell me of your work,

it's better.

My work?

How do you say...

I am...

lost.

I understand what happens.

Isn't it beautiful?

That mountain!

Yes, it is beautiful.

So that was it...

The coup de grce

has finally come...

He fell in!

He was hit! He fell in the water!

There's no projectile.

It's madness jumping in that filth.

Look, he's faking it.

He has no injuries at all.

He has to go to the hospital anyway.

Frances, it's me.

You can keep the house

as long as you want.

Eat some blackberries in the garden

and relax.
