But you two were so in love.

You were so in love with him.

Pietro, be careful!

Is this Diego's?

It's nice!

It looks like a cool CD cover.

- No, I don't think it's your dad's.

- Dad?

What a drag with this story!

The first photo of your son.

Sorry you could not take it yourself.

Pietro!

- I love him already.

- Diego, we have no money.

No, no, no!

Today I got paid.

You can't ride a motor scooter anymore.

And you... You have to listen

to Mozart, Beethoven, Bach!

Pink Floyd. No!

Pink Floyd. No!

You're a mother now, a temple

and I'm a monk who kneels before you.

Come on, son, faster.

Time for a new life.

You need to take care of your body now.

No more alcohol, no more cigarettes and no more pot.

Enough!

- Italian Fascist!

- Shut up!

A spineless American, that's what you are!

- There, smoke, smoke!

- How did you manage to win all those wars?

Sh*t!

It was a blighted ovum, the body expels them naturally.

You were lucky.

The hemorrhage saved you from a D&C.

What did he say?

He said I was lucky.

Just means it wasn't Pietro, sweetie.

The children who are meant to come,

will come. Gemma, they'll come.

Look! Oh, get some fresh air in here.

Look, this is our bedroom.

Really sweet, look.

Oh, and a dark room, a perfect dark

room or maybe even a nursery.

Got a music room or maybe even a dance hall.

God, so much space, so spacious, the windows.

Look over here too.

Slip and slide.

Behind you is the kitchen.

It's our new life, Gemma

My love.

I'll be right here honey I'm not going

anywhere 0k? Think about me!

Think about us 0k?

I love you Gemma, I love you.

You're my sparkling Gemma little flower bud!

WWII:

- I'll make it this time!

- Good morning, Gemma.

Don't worry, Gemma, relax

and think about something beautiful, think about the sea.

I'm so sorry I'm late there was so much f***ing traffic.

Beautiful.

Sally.

I'm afraid that your eggs are incompatible with life.

Your sterility factor is rated at 97%.

We consider that total sterility.

What about the 3%?

Miracles!

Miracles do happen.

This is Italy after all.

You can live also without children, Gemma.

Adoption is a lengthy process,

a real ordeal for the mind and soul.

The last test of your shortcomings.

As your psychologist my responsibility

is to discourage you.

Having a child has become an obsession.

I see pregnant women everywhere,

They are like an army walking towards me.

Do you really want me to be honest?

I'm not here to prove to you that I am a good person.

I'm here because I'm afraid.

I'm afraid of losing the man I love.

I want to give him a child to tie him to me

with this padlock of flesh.

What does truth taste like?
