We are in a god place

That is my house

I live there.

Alone?

No.

Not alone, with other officers.

We usually dressed informally,

drink beer

and talk about women.

-But, now everything will change.

-Why?

Because I have met you.

-What is that?

-A piece of mirror.

Why do you look at yourself

in that way?

-Do you enjoy watching yourself that much?

-Yes, I do.

I never walk in front of a mirror

without looking at myself.

Why do you like it that much?

To be sure that It's...

...me.

It's the only time you are sure to be yourself?

No.

Also, when I see a woman...

looking at me the way you are doing right now.

"It's the End of the Days

and dead men come to life...

to face eternal glory...

or eternal pain.

We keep hugging each other

and don't care about nothing else

nor paradise, nor hell."

Do you like those verses by Haine?

No.

Why not?

I don't like what it means.

It's a shame!

The imminence of a war...

Do you think ther will be a war?

Oh, yes.

Even though is inconceivable...

that people can kill themselves

for things they don't even care about.

Do you believe in wars?

I do believe that the freedom of

a nation...

must be defended...

even by sacrificing freedom itself

or life.

Then, we are enemies,

isn't that so?

I don't think so

I...

suppose it's a big mistake...

not to be interested...

in war...

in politics...

in territorial exchanges and occupations.

in all that serious things..

that men are willing to die for .

You see, I think that...

the fact that some men were born...

on the side of that river

and other men in the side of that mountain...

doesn't mean that God had made

rivers and mountains

to separate people.

You speak like a child.

I don't understand how that way of thinking

makes you a militar

It's ridiculous you are an officer

I agree with you.

It's ridiculous

Everything is very ridiculous

I have to leave now.

There's almost daylight.

Livia...

That is your name, right?

Yes

When can I see you again?

-Tomorrow?

-That's impossible!

I will wait.

It was almost morning.

The city was coming back to life...

and then I felt ashamed.

How could I had spent the entire night...

with an stranger!

An Austrian officer!

Me, an Italian married woman.

A woman that never care for

frivolities.

However, after four days,

four days waiting to see him,

it was me who was running to see him.

I convinced myself ...

that he was the only one who can save Roberto.

And it was my duty

to ask him for help.

Hey! Do you want to play?

I've waited for you days and days...

and you finally came.

We don't care for anything,

nor paradise, nor hell!

Since that day, we see each other
