That's enough!
Shameful! Indecent!
Give me back my granddaughter! Giulietta, come down from there!
Obey your grandfather. Come down from there!
Professor, in the name of God!
Come to your senses! Stop this shameful behavior!
You're the ones who must stop.
I am perfectly in my senses.
Burning this child! Are we among cannibals?
Bring down that contraption.
Bring it down! You beasts!
Go home, children. Get away from there! Scat!
You nuns should fry on the grill, but you're afraid to show your legs.
What are you teaching these children?
Are you trying to drive these poor innocents to insanity?
Roast each other on your old grill!
I order you to desist! Come down!
Remember, I'm your principal.
You must obey me!
Your conduct is abominable!
Oh, shut up, Abominable.
And what about you! Have you nothing to say?
You let them do anything? You like being roasted?
Stupid girl!
Giulietta, did you see God? Answer me.
Did you? Answer me!
Signora, I implore you, pardon this outrageous incident...
which dishonors our school.
Please accept my most abject apologies.
Where did that cat come from?
It's not one of ours. I don't know.
But did you see what big, bad yellow eyes it has?
- He's from the villa next door. - He's gorgeous.
Stop. I want to catch him.
He went inside.
Gasperino, help us catch him.
Signora, I don't get along with cats.
Careful, signora. He might scratch.
Can we keep him?
They're terrible critters. They bite and scratch.
They're not dangerous.
What a big fat kitty you are!
Gorgeous!
"Suzy." Your name is Suzy.
The gate is open.
What a pretty house you have!
Hello. Excuse me, signora.
Health and wealth to you all!
May God make you ever more beautiful for His glory!
Signora, have him tell you the story about the Barletta convent.
Come here.
Am I good?
You're an angel! Till tomorrow.
Mama, take Alyosha away. I need to talk on the phone.
Hello?
You see, signora? He goes on like this all day.
He's a good boy...
but he's committed the folly of falling in love with my daughter.
His powers of seduction are all on the inside.
One can't see them on the outside.
Woman are seduced by beautiful appearances, Alyosha...
and you have none at all, not even a little!
Pretty kitty!
- There's my vagabond! - I found him in my garden...
and thought I'd bring him back.
You're so kind.
He's so pretty, someone might steal him if you don't watch out.
Did you hear that? They'll steal you!
Shut up! Take him away!
Where were you?
- Did you thank signora... - Giulietta.
What a pretty name! I'm Suzy. Did he give you any trouble?
No, he's very good.
But he's a big drunk. He likes champagne.
Oh, the phone!
A lady from next door brought the cat back.
Of course, all my friends are pretty.
Perhaps.
What a bully Please, excuse me.
It's really time we were acquainted.
I don't want to disturb you.
- Have a drink. A little champagne? - Thank you.
None for you!
- Can you stay for lunch? - Thanks, but I really can't.
We'll send them all away and I'll cook. What do you like?
I can't open it. Alberto!
You're gorgeous, all sweaty like that.
Don't worry, I'm not after anything.
I'll tell Suzy what you did.
Some lovely champagne for signora Giulietta.
Paolo, come here!
Just a little for you, eh?
You know what happens when you drink. You go mad.
Please forgive the mess.
I'm remodeling the house.
I want brighter colors. Would you like a tour?
What luck!
I'm sure you'll give me wonderful advice.
Welcome, Giulietta!
Once I dreamt of you in a kind of church.
You were up front, at a desk like the teacher's desk.
And I was in the last row, dressed as a nun.
You said, "Show me how you walk!" So I walked like this.
You flunked me. How I cried!
I woke up in tears.
Come to our party Saturday, and bring your husband, of course.
I've watched you both from my window and grown fond of you.
I would love to be able to love one man that way.
This is my grandmother.
She hasn't slept in five years.
She's always up here. She sees everything.
Granny Olga, this is my friend Giulietta. Do you like her?
What's wrong, my dear?
She scares me when she says things like that.
She only has to look at you and she knows your secrets.
- Everything passes. - Good-bye, signora.
How is she?
A little better, I think, but I heard crying all night.
Excuse me a moment.
Arlette, it's me.
Arlette, please.
Giulietta, come here.
You haven't touched anything on your plate.
Know what I'll do? I'll phone signora Artemia!
She won't stand for any nonsense.
Come on, sit up.
Sit up, or I'll tell Roby to go away.
Don't worry.
She's a friend of mine, and she loves you. Right, Giulietta?
Of course.
Here, drink a little of this.
Why won't you believe that we all love you?
I'll come back and see you later.
What's wrong with her?
She tried three times to commit suicide.
The last time we saved her by a miracle.
I called and called, but no one answered.
We broke down the door. What a mess!
She's ill-fated in love. I keep her here now.
Like Laura, a school friend of mine.
She jumped into a canal. She was 15.
They said it was an accident...
but it was suicide. She did it for love.
Take this one. It even has feathers.
What are you doing here? I'm fed up!
But I told him. I said, "She'll be furious."
Didn't I tell you?
How dare you come sneaking up here?
Taking my things!
He only took a slipper!
This is my house, and I give the orders here!
Otherwise I'll send you back to the streets where I found you!
- This one was in a whorehouse. - You know you'd like to be in one.
And why not?
The dirty tales she tells.
All made up, naturally.
We're only joking, of course. What else can we do?
Giulietta, how are you?
Iris keeps her promise, you see.
Suzy is your teacher. Listen to her. Follow her.
I mustn't encourage your fetishism, Alyosha...
because this is fetishism, pure and simple.
Momy explained it all to me. But here, you can have this.
It can't be easy being a fetishist.
For a Russian, it must be terrible.
Come look!
How many times I've watched you in your garden.
Come here, Giulietta.
Look!
Do you have a mirror on your ceiling too?
Like it?
I had it put there. Momy was delighted.
It's like having another couple along.
What must you think of me!
But, you know, men like funny things.
Come on in, the water's warm.
Another idea of mine.
After we make love, we plunge in here.
It's wonderful!
Come on, Giulietta. Take off your clothes.
Once Momy slid down headfirst and he almost got stuck.
Come on, dive in!
I burn my candle on both ends. I deny myself nothing.
Look, what's up there?
I eat, dance, play...
and fight.
I especially like to fight.
We'll go take some sun.
Up there...
it's much better than the beach.
It's my private sun. All mine.
The switch is on that tree.
- We're going up there? - Certainly. Flip the switch.
In Greece there's a hilltop monastery.
The monks ride like this.
Send it back.
Do I raise the switch?
That's it! Now it's your turn.
- Ready? - Yes.
Don't be afraid.
If you're dizzy, close your eyes.
Give me your hand.
No, thanks, I can manage myself.
They can look all they want.
They'll never find us.
We've thrown them off.
Who?
Those two boys following us. Didn't you see them?
Yesterday there were two lovers in those bushes.
How they made love!
I felt like applauding, they were so wonderful.
From here it seemed so delicate, so festive.
Is your head still spinning? Let's have something to drink.
The sun's at its zenith, the loveliest time.
At this hour you cast no shadow.
Ah, rainwater...
with two minnows in it.
Sit down. Take off your clothes. We'll sunbathe nude.
No, thanks. I'm fine like this.
Granny makes strange perfume out of resin and flowers.
I'll let you try them out.
They make men drunk.
An engineer once...
What were you telling me about your marriage?
Oh, no, nothing.
Don't you trust me?
- Yes, but... - Well, then? Tell me about it.
You've never thought of marrying?
I always thought marriage should be like this.
I would be all his, and he would be all mine.
I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but Giorgio was my first love.
I fell in love the moment I saw him...
and wanted nothing else but to live with him.
When he proposed, I was so happy I almost didn't believe it.
He became my entire world...
my husband, my lover...
my father, my friend...
my home!
I didn't need anybody else.
I thought that was right, and I was happy.
Could they be at the beach? They've vanished.
There they are, up there!
- What are you doing? - See? They found us.
Naughty boys!
We have something important to tell you.
- Do you know them? - Never saw them before.
Tell me more about your marriage. It's such a beautiful story.
I was engaged once at 13.
Oh, I dropped it!
Excuse me, Suzy, but it's late. I'd better get home.
What, you're going already?
Send me down, please.
Bye, Giulietta. Come up whenever you like.
Hello. How are you?
- You're leaving? Stay with us. - No, thank you.
I'll get off at the first floor.
"Among the trials was that of the labyrinth...
which was the worst.
The labyrinth was a great palace which, once you entered...
you could never leave again.
You wandered and went in circles until finally you were lost."
Teresina, what's wrong?
I'm depressed.
May I leave a little early today?
"But Jack the Giant-Killer, who wasn't afraid of even the devil himself...
said, 'I'll enter the labyrinth.'"
Yes, you can go, Teresina.
"But what will you give me if I succeed in coming out again?"
But I really don't like your new habit...
of leaving every day between 3:00 and 8:00.
"So they crossed a forest full of golden apples...
so many apples shining so brightly...
that even at night the forest was full of light."
- Is the lady of the house in? - This is she. Who is this?
Eagle Eye Detective Service.
Just a moment, please.
Go play outside. I'll be right there.
Can you visit our office this afternoon?
Today?
No... I don't know.
Have you already found something?
We've had seven days of hard work.
You'll appreciate our labors.
Can't you tell me over the phone?
- Frankly, it's not our custom to do so. - Of course not.
We'll expect you in our office.
I'll do my best to be there.
Good afternoon, signora. We've done it!
I can honestly report our results are brilliant.
I think we'll reveal what you want to know.
I understand your anxiety, dear lady.
But believe me, there's nothing final or irreparable.
Please, make yourself comfortable.
If you knew how many couples have reconciled right here...
A drink, signora?
True love requires a total knowledge of each other.
Even Saint Augustine said so.
- Don't consider this a sad occasion. - No, thank you.
The exposure may not be perfect on these images...
but you can imagine the working conditions.
These are the first three days of our investigation, the 23rd to the 25th.
If you'll allow me, I'll read you the report.
"On the 23rd, the subject went out at 7:30...
dressed in a white suit.
We trailed his car to a florist."
Needless to say, we have all the relevant information on the woman...
who received the floral arrangement, which is at your complete disposal.
There she is!
Captured while entering a restaurant.
Alas, the hat brim prevents identification of the person.
What I always recommend to my clients...
is a certain detachment from what we show them.
Our point of view is objective and hence limited.
The reality might be something else...
more innocent.
This is Lake Bracciano, isn't it?
No, it's a field near Castelli.
"On the 24th...
an afternoon drive on the Appian Way.
They were parked in the fields from 4:20 till 6:00."
The lady's name is Gabriella Olsen.
She's 24 years old, a model by profession.
While we change reels, let's see some slides.
I took these myself.
We recorded their conversation...
when they stopped in the park.
You mistake me for someone else.
When we met you had...
You should be flattered by what I'm telling you.
I'm showing you like an idiot how jealous I am.
- What would you change in me? - You're perfect.
The interpretation of this is up to you.
"As agreed herein, the evidence remains sealed in our keeping...
unless specifically requested by the court or the judge."
You gave us 100,000 lira for our expenses and equipment...
transportation, per diem, extras, overtime and so on.
Here's an itemized invoice for you.
Believe me, we gave you very special treatment.
Thank you.
Good day.
My compliments, signora.
My coworkers join me in saying...
we hope this situation ends happily, and as you wish.
Look, it's your charming neighbor.
I knew you'd come. How are you?
Did you pack your husband off to bed?
Listen, Suzy, when will we begin?
He's not home yet. My husband is always late.
He works so hard.
So I came alone. He trusts me completely.
He shouldn't!
You already know my mother. Don't wake her.
She'll start singing!
He can rely on the advice of the prophet for his moves!
Momy, this is Giulietta.
Thank you for honoring my house.
Do you realize who he is?
That's my boyfriend Momy.
He's 65 years old...
but he wants to make love every day.
And he does!
What's the matter? You look so sad.
Me, sad? I'm perfectly fine.
In fact, I want to enjoy myself.
Good!
I feel like hugging everyone.
I want you to be happy.
Attention, please. This is the most secret part.
Now, the deceased has captured the winds...
and each maiden becomes a symbol of purification.
This is the old Egyptian rite...
for the passage from life to death.
I'm the goddess of vice.
An hour with me might kill you...
but you'd have touched the heights and depths of pleasure.
This is my hour!
I reach my peak of desire at 11:00.
It's a game we play in Lola's honor.
We create the atmosphere of a brothel.
Amusing.
Then you look into his eyes.
This one, with the beautiful big nose.
The gentleman hasn't chosen yet?
Lola, is this all right?
That's perfect.
- I make an offer: a week in Japan. - Shame on you!
- All right, then, two weeks. - Tightwad!
- But in Japan! - It's too little.
- Kneel down! What's your name? - Hildegard.
No, your name is Sex. What's your name?
No, now your name is Womb. What's your name?
No, now your name is that of the goddess.
Now you are no longer yourself.
You are the door, the earth.
And now the resting place of the goddess.
You're very pretty. Are you a model?
Do you know a certain Gabriella?
- Who? - Gabriella Olsen.
I know her.
- They say she's very pretty. - Yes.
Much prettier than me?
Very pretty!
And something of a whore, right?
You can tell me.
For me, it's become almost a compliment.
Do I play the part well?
Isn't she perfect, Lola?
That's my godson. Isn't he handsome?
Giulietta, I'm up here.
Come on.
Go away!
What do you want?
He's waiting.
He wants you.
The champagne.
Suzy is your teacher.
Listen to her. Follow her.
Perhaps I drank too much.
What are you doing?
I'm hours late, huh?
- How are you? - Have you seen Giulietta?
No, I haven't seen her. Where are you going dressed like that?
To your confirmation?
- What are you doing? - She's psychoanalyzing my wife.
Is the American doctor here?
Now go and concentrate. Stay in there and try to remember.
I want to see what happens when it's your turn.
Dangerous!
- I know you're afraid. - No, Giorgio, for goodness' sake!
To every psychodrama each person must bring the truth.
We must create a climate of absolute verity.
I'm really not very good at this.
Try and relive for us the time you scolded your son-in-law.
Will you be the son-in-law?
- He's too old! - Thanks for the compliment.
Let's try this handsome young man.
He'll be much better.
Excuse me. I was reading his palm.
The future doesn't interest me...
only what happens to me today, right now!
Forgive me. I won't do it again!
Signora, they're waiting for you.
I'm coming.
That's enough! Leave me alone. Leave me alone!
Shameless liar!
I'll never believe you again.
Go away!
Who are you talking to?
Nobody.
- Who were you talking to? - Nobody.
Come on, Giulietta, we're all waiting.
Doctor, let me do a psychodrama.
There's a shady episode in my life.
- You want a drink? - No, thanks. I don't drink.
Dr. Miller's been showing us a new game: psychodrama.
You relive your worst moments, projected onto another person.
Interesting, huh?
What a strange crowd you have here, today.
Cheers!
Your housecoat's pretty.
Your eyes are red. You've been crying.
I find these games extremely boring.
Don't take a plane on the 27th.
Ah, the mistress of the house!
How pretty you are!
Of course, with such a pretty mama.
Want to bet it's a boy?
Remember, I predicted it.
Giulietta, psychodrama is not a game.
Why don't you try, little sad face?
Quiet, it's Giulietta's turn.
- Maybe Giulietta doesn't want to. - Yes, I want to. I'm fine.
She wants to.
It's a marvelous experience. You'll feel psychologically liberated.
Like seeing yourself in a mirror right there in front of you.
You'll understand your problems in no time.
Tell us about the most painful episode of your life.
Recreate for us the people, the circumstances.
Is it true?
Can you really help me?
There, they've started again!
Go away!
- What were you saying? - Nothing. It's just a game.
Give me that.
Try to smoke less... and have faith in your doctor.
Can't you see them?
Can't you hear them?
Take your revenge!
Forgive! But whom should I listen to?
Make yourself beautiful. Life is all sacrifices.
Be more feminine, we'll teach you.
My life is full of people who talk, talk, talk.
Go away, all of you!
It's water.
When I want purity and absolute sincerity...
I ask for water.
We need simple things to live.
Things which hide nothing.
Water is like a truthful gaze.
Never be afraid of the truth.
The truth sets us free.
What does it matter what others think, anyway?
There's a proverb in my country: "I am mine own roof and hearth.
My words are my food.
My thoughts are... my drink.
Thus I am happy."
Are you real or not?
What do you advise?
What should I do?
I can't advise you. I only want for you to live fully.
Where's Giorgio?
Giulietta, you know what he said?
I'm sorry, signora. I forgot to tell you.
Your husband left.
He didn't want to interrupt your dancing.
He said to say good-bye to the guests. He had somebody arriving from Brazil.
He may not be home for supper.
But he said he'd call.
Giulietta, listen to my advice.
Proof of adultery is no longer required.
Circumstantial evidence is enough for the law.
I speak now not as your lawyer...
but as a friend who cherishes and loves you.
Is there any chance for me?
You must consider these things.
I'm bold enough to think I know your trouble.
I may be able to help you.
You identify too much with your problem.
These great trees make the most impressive symbol of this way of living.
Deeply rooted in the earth...
yet the branches stretch out in all directions.
Their growth is spontaneous.
This is the great and simple truth you must learn:
Be yourself, spontaneously...
without fighting your desires and passions.
Don't you feel how nice it is here?
Sometimes one must speak out loud...
even if it's a stranger who's listening.
Stretch out on the grass.
Relax. Don't be afraid.
Look at the sun through the branches.
All is at peace. All is serene.
But you, you're not at peace.
Why?
I don't know.
What are you afraid of?
May I answer for you?
You're afraid of being alone...
of being abandoned.
You're afraid your husband will leave you.
But, really, that's what you most want.
You desire with all your might to be left alone.
You long for your husband to go away.
I want Giorgio to leave me?
Precisely. Without Giorgio, you begin to breathe, to live.
You become yourself.
You think you're afraid.
But in fact you fear only one thing:
You're afraid of being happy.
Signorina Gabriella Olsen.
She's not here, but she should be back soon.
Excuse me, I was just cleaning up a bit.
She phoned around noon to say that she'd be out for lunch.
She's out a lot these days.
Please sit down. May I offer you something?
Excuse me, but I have to finish packing her suitcases.
The poor girl has waited so long to take this trip with her boyfriend.
Everything was all ready.
But he calls at the last minute and says, "We can't leave now."
Not out of meanness, 'cause he's a real gentleman.
I've never seen anyone so in love with signora Gabriella.
And I must say she deserves it.
I shouldn't say this, since we're related...
but they're so sweet together.
He says he feels at home here.
He chose all these things himself.
All in good taste.
Yes, I'm packing your suitcases now.
There's a lady waiting to see you. I don't know.
I don't know her.
Shall I put her on?
Would you like to speak to signora Gabriella?
I certainly do.
Just a moment.
Go ahead and pick up.
The telephone is behind you.
Hello. Who is this?
I'm Giorgio's wife.
Delighted to meet you, but did we have an appointment?
No, but I want to talk to you.
May I be of help? Can't you tell me on the phone?
I'll wait here. I'm in no hurry.
It's no use... I mean, for you to wait.
I have a busy afternoon. I'll be late.
Are you afraid?
Afraid? No.
But I don't enjoy gloating over the defeat of others.
And I don't think we have anything to say to each other.
Good-bye and good luck.
I'm not moving.
I have to go now.
I think signora Gabriella will be very late.
I'm sorry, but...
Good evening, signora.
I'm fixing supper for signor Giorgio because he has to leave.
Our happiness...
Put the bags in the car.
...has only one name.
I'm going to Milan. I'll eat and run.
- I'll fix it for you. - Don't bother. Teresina's doing it.
Did you add salt?
What did you make for a vegetable?
Some salad.
It's ready, sir.
- Is the car trunk unlocked? - Yes.
I'll put the bags in.
This is the first time you've packed your bags yourself.
You haven't forgotten anything?
No, I don't think so.
Will you be gone long?
I don't know, a couple of days.
I'll call you.
Shall I close the windows?
May I go out for a while?
Listen, Giulietta, I may be gone longer.
I don't feel very well.
I saw the doctor today. I didn't tell you.
- Do you want some fruit? - Yes, thank you.
Perhaps work has tired me out lately.
The doctor said nothing's wrong...
but a rest would do me good.
Frankly, I need some time alone.
At last we have the pleasure of meeting you!
Giulietta has told us so much about you.
You're much better than we imagined.
Mama, this is Giulietta's fianc�.
How do you do?
I think you've heard malicious gossip...
mean tongues, rumors.
Yes, it's true, I've had a friendship with this person...
even a deep friendship, but nothing more.
I assure you, nothing final or irreparable.
The truth is... I don't know.
I'm going through a moment of uncertainty, of confusion...
I want to be alone.
Well, good-bye, Giulietta.
I'll phone you.
Yes, of course.
- I'll call you as soon as I get there. - All right.
I'm not sure when. Perhaps tomorrow.
Ah, put my mail aside.
Of course, the mail.
Giulietta, do you remember me?
Laura!
Do as I did!
Here everything is gray stillness and silence.
Come with me, Giulietta.
A long sleep.
No more suffering.
It's not true!
None of you exist! Go away!
Very tasty!
You don't exist! Go away!
It's your friend Laura who killed herself for love.
Buy a horse, take long rides and swims.
Is there any hope for me?
Without Giorgio, you'll begin to breathe...
to be yourself.
Spent the whole evening with me, the whole evening with me.
I can't get down. I can't land.
It's your fault, Giulietta.
A long sleep...
Mama, please help me!
I hear crying.
It's the wind.
- They're calling me. - Don't move.
- Obey your mother. - I must go.
Don't you move!
Who is it? Who are you?
Open!
Don't open!
Obey me!
You no longer frighten me.
Look who's here! My little beef patty!
Where'd you leave your grill?
Let's say good-bye to those bores.
My cutie's waiting for me.
We have to go too.
Take me along!
Where?
This is an old plane...
going nowhere.
It was only meant to come here.
Good-bye, Giulietta.
Don't try to hold on to me.
You don't need me anymore.
I'm nothing but another of your inventions.
But you are life.
So long, beef patty!
- Who are you? - Friends.
- Who are you? - True friends.
Now, if you like, we can stay.
Do you want us to?
Listen! Listen well!
