The Double Hour Page #4

Synopsis: Guido (Filippo Timi), a former cop, is a luckless veteran of the speed-dating scene in Turin. But, much to his surprise, he meets Slovenian immigrant Sonia (Ksenia Rappoport), a chambermaid at a high-end hotel. The two hit it off, and a passionate romance develops. After they leave the city for a romantic getaway in the country, things suddenly take a dark turn. As Sonia's murky past resurfaces, her reality starts to crumble. Everything in her life begins to change - - questions arise and answers only arrive through a continuous twist and turn of events keeping viewers on edge until the film's final moments.

Lucky guy.

And Dolores Dominguez?

- Dead.

- Already?

I came to tell you in person.

It's not what we agreed.

I wanted to see you.

Come here.

- When's the funeral?

- Monday.

- We'll communicate the usual way.

- With the red bed spread.

Monday.

And on Tuesday

we'll have breakfast in Buenos Aires.

I can't go on like this anymore.

Yes you can.

Has something happened?

No, nothing.

Look, it's the barman's number.

Manuel.

I deserve it,

I spent 60 Euros at the bar.

- A ticket to London!

- Yeah, London.

- Will you be able to drive?

- Yes.

- Sleep here if you want.

- No, I miss my empty bed.

- Marco?

- Marco...

- Coming to work tomorrow?

- Yes.

I didn't feel like it today,

I called in sick.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Thanks for the lift.

- Thank you. I had fun.

You look better

with your hair down.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Guido...

I'm here.

What'll I do without you?

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Please, go away.

Any news of Margherita?

She isn't here today either.

Will you stop that for a second?

- What's up with her?

- I don't know.

If you hear from her,

tell her I'm pissed off.

I've already

got used to it with you.

Nice style, so much commitment.

You're following me.

I just wanted to see you

in your swimming costume.

I had a chat

with your father today.

Know what he says about you?

- I can guess.

- No, you can't.

Sorry. It's my fault

we got off to a bad start.

But mistakes

can always be corrected.

What did my father tell you?

A sad story.

His little girl asked him for money

to help out her boyfriend.

Being a good father,

he not only refused,

he stopped herfrom seeing him.

So one day, he woke up...

and found the house cleared out,

cheque books, cash, jewellery.

From that day on,

he stopped having a daughter.

I already know that.

Right, I'll tell you something

you don't know then.

Your father wasn't at all surprised

that morning.

He was expecting it.

He says there's something wrong

with you, you're damaged.

- It was a long time ago.

- Sure, but people don't change.

But perhaps

you already knew that as well.

Finished?

I have to take a shower.

- MARGHERITA BAGINI

HAS PASSED AWAY -

It happened yesterday.

They say it was suicide.

Go back to work,

our guests need us.

Come on.

How did she do it?

She threw herself

out of the window.

God, creator of heaven and earth,

in the design of salvation

you have united men

to Christ's Eastertriumph.

With baptism, we too

participate in the glory

of the Lord's resurrection.

Bless the resting place

of our sister, Sonia...

Did he say Sonia?

Calm down.

Why did he say my name?

- Calm down, let's go.

- He said Sonia, didn't you hear?
