The Double Hour Page #6

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.

maybe two and a half.

Sit down.

How are you?

Fine, thanks.

- And Sonia?

- She's fine too now.

I'm pleased.

Take a look.

Remember Monica?

Yes, I do.

You don't know, but we were

lovers for a year before...

then she left her husband

and got together with me.

The bullshit she used to tell that

poor guy while I was in bed with her!

The day I married her l thought:

"What if she does

the same with me?"

But you married her anyway.

We always hope

it won't happen to us.

Sure.

Like hell,

she cheated on me too.

I won't read that file, Dante.

- Don't you want to know who she is?

- I already do.

Even you guessed

they were professionals.

- You were a cop, for God's sake!

- Cop...

I spent the whole day

tapping phones.

- Shut up inside a van.

- They used her to get at you.

- That bullet wasn't for her.

- You piss me off.

- Yes?

- Yes.

You know who's pissed off?

Giorgio Bechis, her dad.

Know what he said when I told him

his daughter was in a coma?

She died twelve years ago

in his eyes,

when she ransacked his house

and left with a guy.

What did he do?

Did he report her?

- No.

- Got any proof?

Phone calls, bank operations?

No.

- Leave us in peace.

- What if she does that to you?

If she goes out one day

and doesn't come back?

Bye, Dante.

Hello?

Hello?

Dad...

Have you recovered?

Yes.

Good.

Hello.

They're cancelling now?

I'm left with 30 women

and 20 men.

Be patient, how do I know...

I'll call you back in a minute.

Guido!

Marisa...

Guido, my dear. How are you?

- And Sonia?

- She's fine now.

Damn you.

I hoped to see you

in the marriage announcements

not the crime news.

It's a first step.

So, what are you doing here?

I came to say goodbye, this time

you really have lost your best client.

I knew she was the right girl.

Now I can tell you.

She wanted to meet you

at all costs.

She joined a group session

because she was shy.

But really, she was there for you.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- What are you doing?

- Looking at job advertisements.

Anything?

- Want some coffee?

- Yes.

- THE FUNERAL OF DOLORES DOMINGUEZ

IS AT ONE O'CLOCK TODAY -

What time is it?

- Almost 11:
00.

- Already!

Thanks.

I have to go out.

I promised Margherita

I'd drop by.

- Will you be back late?

- No, I don't think so.

Stay if you want.

- Your coffee.

- Thanks.

Help me put it on.

As soon as I bought it,

I regretted it.

No, it's beautiful.

Thanks.

I don't know

whether I really want to go.

Margherita wants

some advice from me.

She cheated on her boyfriend and

doesn't know if she should tell him.

Who knows...

maybe he already figured it out.

And he wouldn't trust her again.

That's what I thought.

Hi.
