"After Midnight"
Directed by Davide Ferrario
Where are our stories from? Where they go?
These stories are like dust in the air
Rise through airflow, interweaved for some time...
Then disappear, nobody will know them
At night, a man ride motorcycle
The story begins in this way
Hisjob is to rob others with the motorcycle
He comes from Farrchina
Which isn't a good place for most ofthe people in Torino
But actually, people don't know where is it at all
All the people in Farrchina call him Angelo
He is a man which attracts girls
But tonight is not the best night in his life
I know you want to know more about why should you stay here
Whom does he hurt? Is it serious?
In fact in the cinema...
What audience cares is the story ofthe roles
But, at the beginning, there is only lantern on the screen
Nobody shows up
Sight of city shines in people's eyes
Maybe it's this place that tells these stories exactly
Moreau is the most famous building in Torino
It earned some money
But not much
People in Torino don't know ifthey should be glad or sorry for this
Anyway, Martino works here
To know the story ofAngelo, actually
We need to relate his story with him
Martino is a simple man, but he has a secret
We will concern on it later
We only need to know now
He has a bike and an old handcinematograph
He thinks these two
Are more advanced than the modern machine
How are you, Grandpa. - How are you

Grandpa said, you like this bike?
Yes, I like it
Bye, Grandpa. - Bye
(Every evening, Martino will meet Amanda in noshery. She asks
Is it the same as before?
(He nod, pay, get a snack, and then go back to work)
(Amanda's life is as regular as Martino's)
(Every afternoon, to earn more money)
(She hands out ads for a loan company)
(She is seeking the satisfied relationship with Angelo everyday)
(She is his formal girl friend but not the only one, of course)
(Usually no results)
(Amanda hopes to improve her life)
(But she is only settled for imagination of such a life, day after day)
(She needs to realize it with a normal attitude)
She see that there will be 125 minutes later
Yes, but I have to clean the kitchen, probably miss the last bus
You take a taxi. - I live in Farrchina
It will use up all the money I earned today
You need to explain me one thing
When we were in school, we keep the two stresses of hair like this
Two plaits, but, I am still crop
You are still in blowzy long hair
Actually, it's the matter of spirit and body
Because ourjobs are hard
We always bear the coldness, lumbago, and always stand
I'm not like you as a watchman which is comfort and warm
I promise to you, it's for my wife and child
Especially child, really
Do you know? I'm so happy to chat with you
How long have you with your grandpa? I've told you
You chatted very much
You were not very quiet, silent
Bye
Anyway, it's not good for your liver eating there

(In the world, between the reality and fancy)
(He needn't anything else)

Friday? How about Saturday?
Angelo says, great Friends, let's meet in the bar tomorrow
(The city is full of stories in the night)
(story for luxury, story about the man in the moon)
(Beautiful story, blue story and discomforting story are interweaved)
A car? -All are robbed
Then, please help me to call a taxi It will be comfort
You can try, but there is no taxi here
My god, how should I go home?
I drive a car for you at six - Please let me go home!
You take the bus - I hate bus!
Excuse me, just move your ticket front?
(160 meters outside city)
(Martino doesn't sense the difference ofthe people beneath)

(Martino is good to Maolizio)
(Although they are of different interests and charactors)
Do you usually drive the car? The "titbit"?
I watched a movie last night, Do you remember Monica Bellucci?
Her legs are sexy like a cat!
She isjust in front of me, like this If it's you, here, close
You stand in front of the screen, put it in front of them
I know you don't want to touch her. Even, shy
It was splitted, look
(Actually are some stars and directors Martino doesn't swallow the bait at all)
(The opinion are directly from Lumiere brothers)

Before the films turn into those things)

Finally he and she are hand-in-hand
(But this opinion of love is not popular among girls)
He booked two

For example, are you free tomorrow morning? Yes
(In 1895, Lumiere, the father ofthe famous brothers, he is an inventor)
(He announced that "movie has no future")
(This means that even the wise could be wrong some time)
(lfthere is no movie, Martino and Amanda perhaps don't exist)
(Now maybe you and me don't exist, too)
Even the damned noshery is more beautiful than here
What's that? A kind of lottery
A kind of mathematic game
With obvious rule
The third number is the sum ofthe two numbers before
Look? 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21
You can try to pick off a piece of chrysanthemum
Or count the number of squamas of pineapple Or the seeds of sunflower
lfthe amount of petals offlower is large, that's the number of lottery
Those numbers will show
A serials of mathematic rules in the field
It directs us to guess the world, a kind of feeling
It's not rare
I've said it
Look, ifwe crowded together we both can sleep in the bed
Come on, I don't mind
Where did you gojust now? I called you four times)
I can't answer the call, what's up?
Where were you when I needed you last night?

Thanks foryour help
Where on earth are you? Where? Inside Moreau
Inside Moreau? It's too complicated, explain to you later
Receive me tomorrow. Bye, it's almost out of power
Bitch!!!
At that time I wanted to tell you something about... Don't say now!
(Fate lets Martino live in the real world)
(lets him feel the great time imagined in the movie)
(Now he wants to produce a movie about his life)
(But love is not a return ticket)
(It's of course very complicated, and deserves to large price)
Hello... . Hello
He is the watchman, the one who helped me
Is it in the movie? ...No Fall from the top of the church. Peng!
Angel can fly, isn't it?
Let's go home
Bye! ...Bye
Why are you wearing so funny? Um a moment, ok?
Barbara is so nice, nobody else here
I asked her whether it's ok
Is it beautiful, isn't it? With all the candles
We won't feel it empty at least. - Exactly
I bought something like this in the shop
At least you laugh
Sorry, I'm not hungry
Promise me, ok? What?
We don't talk about what happened these days
Alright
Will you stay here the whole night?
I stay here
(Not because it's difficult to steal the car)
(But you will feel it one day)
(All the things you've thought over have changed at that time)
What's wrong with Angelo and you? - Still the same
Ah, so hot! - Good or bad?
Dunno, not the same as before
Ah, I see
How about the guy working in Moreau? He lives in a world belonging to him totally
Do you plan to see him again? Do you want me to augur for you?
I tell you, the results ofthe augury are
Love, yes, money, no, career
Do you see that girl again?
We should have a talk - You said yourself
He said himself
Alas! Love
You said to me "I love you", I said to you "Wait for a while"
I said to you "I'm here" You said to me "Ok"
Do you know? Come, come up
Come on
I've thought ofthese things these days, It's not real I haven't thought of them
I'm not gasconading I can solve the problem
I can't solve it at all
I can't understand something about Amanda
I don't know You guy You guy
I don't know you, lfl don't understand you, what should I do?
I hope she is happy
Butjust it
Do you understand?
I knew that at that time
The problem is: I didn't want to lose her
But I didn't want her to stay constrainedly
So I asked you at that time whetheryou can
You can let her make a decision. Ah?
That's a deal?
Apparently, I need to face them
Do you understand?
Don't be angry
Brother, congratulations! - You are so great!
The guys offending me would be like this
Let's go
(Should he make a wise decision on love?)
(Amanda has a unhappy feeling, whichever she chooses)
(The other one will be upset)
Do you want me to decide?
I decide not to choose
What do you mean?
I mean I choose neither
But you can't!
Do you also think so?
It's really hard!
How about the three together?
I don't know Try
OK
(Can three person fall in love together? Isn't it too complicated forjust two persons?)
(For a long time, people try to)
(apply the mathematic rules to solve the mental problem)
(But nobody succeed)
(No matter what formula was chosen)
(They can't get the correct answer)
When he said, what did he say?
Bye, Barbara, I'm going to work
No, Martino, yes I know, I promised to you I will go
But I didn't. Tomorrow. I will go tomorrow
What're the result of augury?
Snow?
How great it is to travel!
Just like gas and pollution, isn't it?
What? ...The two supplement each other
It breaks the world, but people can't find the better
I once watched a French movie in museum
The story is about two boys and a girl. Just like us
How is the end? Perfect? Very bad!
Now both of them hate me even you don't support me
ljust hoped we are all happy, no one will be hurt
Actually, youjust hoped the happiness and didn't care anything else
But the truth is that if somebody is happy, there will somebody else unhappy
Where do you hear it? Magazine?
No, a customer told me before the trial of devoice
I must tell you
When you were not around, I slept with Angelo
And I must tell you, too
All the makeup on your face are disgusting
What should I do now? - Waiting
Many things are fated - Yes, just like the lottery
Who is it? Is there another? - No, there isn't!
(lf, like what the lottery number suggests)
(there is a feeling in the world, Now Martino himself doesn't know which one is)
(But movie is not life. It needs the choice)
Why I hate movie?
Movie actually lets people see one side ofthe reality
But not as you imagined It's exactly what it is
In fact, they let you see what they want
I.e. The ideal side But not naked and heartless
They decorate and re-decorate
In order to show people
their ideal things. Do you understand?
Lfyou are in love, you will how to do
You can't understand anything here
Do you think it clearly? Are you sure?
It's interesting
You are always a good member Somewhat silent, but resolved
It suits you very much
In a word, it's suitable you are with us But you want to leave
Why?
30 Euros
Ah, change!
Change!
Lottery, give me some lucky!
Hello... . Hello
Maybe I don't take care ofyou enough
You know all the things about Amanda and work
But
Of course,, there is something about love between us
I asked you whether you want to leave together with me for a while at that time
Together? You and me?
For something else? ...- No!
Do you know, you are more beautiful without makeup?
Ah, really?
(Expectation, self-respect, dedication)
(The most amazing thing in human nature is)
(there is same melody in the hearts)
(It seems that their logic and intellect about something)
(have to be decided by instinct)
(While Amanda? She is waiting for a direction)
(But maybe waiting all her life)
Radio: 12, 63, 7, 30. Rome's 6, 51, 20, 2, 74. Torino's, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89
Oh my god
(lfyou ask Angelo how is he)
(He will shrug "no problem")
(Actually he is following the guest in Balbala)
(The only rule of love story is)
(Somebody happy, somebody sad)
(Just like the mathematic problem of emotion
(Plus one, minus one, keeping plusing and minusing)
(But abandon all, the result is still the same)
(But something must be changed)
(Just like the movies of the same stories for a hundred years)
(But audience in the cinema are the same, they need the surprise)
Hello, you stop!
Are you saying to me? Of course Stop!
Let him lose his way, it's not evening anyway
I stop to shoot you
Do you really want to shoot me? - Yes!
Are you really stupid? - No!
Take offthe helmet
Take off!
Still come? Come
Sorry, not in this way
Stupid!
(Now you know the person who shot Angelo it's Bruno, watchman)
(Although mistake, is it really important?)
(For Angelo, it isn't at all.)
(Now, at the moment, he loses her)
(He realizes what he really want)
(He smokes the last cigarette)
(He only wants to leave gracefully)
Is it the last thing I should look at?
Take care
He usually said angel is for flying
We should wait for suitable wind Why suitable wind?
Lfwind blows that way his ashes will be all in the river
Yes, will be in the river
How about it blows in that way? - Switzerland
Let's wait for a while
Martino!
Martino, I'm nether!
(Story is like dust, story is dust)
(Floats in the air, fly over with the air)
(Here, for example,)
(We stop our story here, leaving you to begin yours)
(I know "end" is the least suitable word)
(Because movie could end, the art of movie could never end)
The End
