The Unknown Woman
Turn around.
Okay, out.
Turn around.
Giorgia stays,
Samantha and her friend can go.
Strip.
Turn around, slowly.
She'll do fine.
Thank you, dear, you can go.
This is vacant and furnished.
It was remodeled recently...
...but costs double the other,
and two months more advance.
Condominium costs are triple.
Best you know now,
when trucks pass, the place rattles.
You should take the other.
I'll take this.
May I help you?
- Good morning.
- Hi, Matteo.
Hello. Need maid?
- Where are you from?
- Ukraine.
- We don't need anyone.
- Ah.
- If you hear anything...
- Stop now and then and we'll see.
Many thanks.
Thanks.
What can you do?
Everything:
clean, cook, wash, doing...
- Doing ironing.
- Are you ill? Hungry?
No, just need work.
- If you help me, I'll give 20%.
- Who do you take me for?
Better, 30, alright?
I'll give you 30%.
Madame?
Come back through again.
- Sorry.
- Here you are.
Really love strawberries!
- A document, please.
- Yes.
- Give me your bag.
- Here.
- Irena Yaru...
- Yaroshenko, Irena Yaroshenko.
- This is okay.
- We're sorry, but we must...
What's this?
My savings.
- It goes off, don't know what to do.
- Must be broken.
Our apologies, Madame,
this can happen.
Nello, where are you going?
Are you thirsty?
I know you need a job,
if you're interested I'm leaving.
- Thanks, but I found one.
- Great!
- I can see for a friend.
- If you want.
- I just got my degree, I'll work
in a lawyer's office. - Congratulations!
You're lucky,
all jewelers here in Velarchi
don't usually take foreigners
into their homes.
Gina, would you do it
for that trifle?
Never! Besides
that stairway's a pigsty.
Okay, I get you!
Excellent job!
- When do I come?
- Tuesdays and Saturdays.
- So I give you 40 a week.
- Alright.
- What deposit to open the account?
- 8,000.
I heard you're looking for work.
Are you interested?
I have full week.
- I can see for a friend.
- Thank you.
Did you polish
the fourth floor doors and name plates?
I shouldn't?
It wasn't your job.
But since you work miracles,
you're forgiven.
Thank you and if you need me...
- Gina, Tea's out of vitamins.
- I know, I'll get some.
- Have a good day.
- Bye, Madame.
Stairs, stairs, stairs...
- The elevator works.
- Makes me feel panicky.
I can't breathe,
so stairs, stairs...
I live on staircases!
An apartment's been painted,
needs cleaning, organizing.
- Where?
- Third floor, apt. 6.
- How much should I ask?
- More you ask, the better for us both.
Alright, so we'll see you on Monday.
Listen...
- Have a good meal.
- Thanks.
I can't stand her silence!
Only talks to her daughter,
she's a grouch with others.
How can she never talk?
- Must have problems.
- No shortage there.
- What does Mr. Donato do?
- They have a jeweler's lab.
He's director, she designs and engraves.
She's good, but no company.
If you like, we could go out.
I'm free only
Thursday afternoons and Sundays.
Why not?
Although I know nothing about you...
What's all that ruckus?
It's Valeria.
- Why not work in the outside lab?
- She's separated.
Not all who separate
set up labs in their homes!
Before too, what fighting!
There was peace only
when they went to the country.
She did her whole pregnancy there.
Hello?
Yeah... Me too...
I can't talk right now.
Can I call you back?
Talk to you later.
Stop, thief!
Stop, thief!
Thief!
Be right back.
May I help you?
- Actually I said 8mm.
- 42!
- 42! Where's 42?
- Me!
- Duplicates of all three
plus the remote. - Alright.
Make a copy of everything.
- Something wrong?
- No.
Meantime, can I pay?
- 60 euros...
- That man's first. - Sorry.
There.
- The short one is out.
I don't have this one. - Are you sure?
It's been ordered.
You'll get me fired.
Wait, maybe there's a way.
- Feeling ill?
- I'm better now.
I don't like
going to the movies alone.
- Why not go with the girl?
- She wants just cartoons!
Maybe she's too young.
She'll be 4 on Sunday.
If I give her a savings account?
- Bank accounts earn nothing.
- No, that's not the purpose.
Every month
I'll deposit what I can set aside...
...so when she's 18
she'll have a nest egg.
- Like some?
- Yes.
She'll know best
how to make the most of it.
Sorry, what a mess!
I'm sorry!
Don't worry...
That's a future day.
She'll have a nice sum.
Sounds like a good gift.
She'll like it.
Won't breathe a word, I swear!
You'll end up bad, believe me!
It's 3 years now you've been looking
and looking... What for?
Questions right and left...
You're sick!
Just look at that!
Madame, this is Matteo.
Nothing serious...
...you forgot to set the alarm.
Yes, all's okay.
It gave me a scare!
Yes, I'll set it.
Can a real dream exist
among so many nightmares?
I'm real! Feel me?
It's me, Nello,
flesh, bones, skin, nerves.
Nightmares can be forgotten.
Trust me, I'll take you away
from all that mess.
Rasaniza.
What?
- Kra-sa-vi-ca!
- Krasavica.
Maybe someday
I can forget my nightmares.
They're mine, it's easier,
but you?
Meaning? Talk plain.
Not enough money.
Now that I finished apt. 6,
you have to help me.
Be patient.
- Hello.
- Hi, Matteo.
How many jewelers
Except the third floor, all of them.
Don't they need someone to help
around the house...
