Diva Futura (2024) Movie Script

1
Did he eat her head?
- Have you told my wife?
- Yes. She's on her way.
- Warn everyone else too, mademoiselle.
- Yes, miss.
- Are we working on the funeral?
- We're working on the funeral?
- With photos.
- With the photos, of course.
Oh, no. Oh, no. Did he eat her head?
He ate her head.
- Do you want to do the funeral?
- Hello, dear.
Let's do the funeral.
With pictures.
Okay. I'll do it. One hour.
- Let's do the funeral.
- Is that okay?
Doesn't matter, we're taking pictures anyway, so, yeah...
Whatever.
Although our ideas were described
as strange, scandalous and
unethical, the reality was that
any news about us made it to the front page.
There was something mysterious
society was condemning us for.
On the one hand, and on the other, it dreamed of us.
It wanted us. It acclaimed us.
Two paradoxical sides of the same coin.
And for us, to astonish
and scandalize, we loved it.
Inaudible voice
Growing up, I was always bullied...
Virility, aggressiveness, the "macho" myth.
I never really understood them.
Women weren't like that.
They were the most beautiful part of the universe.
Dad, what are you doing?
Their bodies, their shapes, I'd never seen them before.
Like a dirty thing, to hide.
And even though, at the time, everything was censored
my father contributed a lot to my education...
These beautiful creatures were like that. They were free.
And how distinct and different
when they walked through their bedroom door.
For the ancient Greeks, the nude was ideal.
It represented autonomy and freedom.
We're taking them all away. They're in escrow.
- But how, I paid for them.
- Look, see that one?
The Washington headquarters. They can't stay here.
I'd like to understand why they
decide what I can and can't read.
The police should be dealing with more
important things, not confiscating your newspaper.
Why are they confiscating "The Beauty"?
Why indeed.
It's just that we live in a sea of assholes.
- Who the hell are you?
- Riccardo Schicchi.
- And how old are you?
- 12.
You have a vision, little boy.
You can come and look at the paper
here anytime you like.
And later, we'll talk about your future.
Schicchi, you say?
Very nice.
I had a gift. I could recognize divas at first glance.
And although I was never an adonis, by
some strange mystery, women always loved me.
Mademoiselle, I'd like to make your
acquaintance acquaintance, if I may.
I'd be delighted.
We became inseparable,
spontaneous, full of dreams.
And paradoxical as it may seem
paradoxical, we were pure.
We decided to change our costumes.
And surprisingly, we found people were ready.
It's a new phenomenon phenomenon. Her name is Cicciolina
and she likes to surprise the public by showing herself without a veil.
You're a kind of social worker, in the sense that you're...
No, I'm a missionary of love, that's different.
Because if there's no love in the world
work doesn't get done, in my opinion.
Listen, Mr. Schicchi, you're
a kind of Guglielmo Marconi.
He invented a kind of radio with the young lady.
Well... Since radio wasn't a program, but
a type of program, and therefore had free
networks, we thought we'd occupy this
space and it seems right to do so, didn't we?
So here we are, back with "Radio Luna".
You. Do you want to sleep with me?
Fatty, you can ask me anything you want.
Sit down, Ilona.
Your Honor, life is also made up
made up of singular characters.
She's a topical character, Ilona Staller.
- It's Cicciolina.
- Ah, he knew her.
Cicciolina knew her, though. Don't look at her hard.
- Ilona stands there, silent.
- With severity, no, with disgust.
With disgust, I don't know, she's a pretty girl.
Ilona was a breath of fresh, irreverent air.
Around her flowed a magnetic
current of energy, desire and vitality.
It was then that we began to be arrested
by the often over-inflated police apparatus.
Charged with offences against decency.
As a result, television television programs were
interrupted, newspapers censored and shows cancelled.
A solution had to be found. An idea.
Yes, I understand. But you talk, you talk.
And then you back out of the adult film.
Come along. Come along.
We'll be partners. I wasn't convinced.
You make the films and I'll show them to you.
But for those of us who had who had
set ourselves up as defenders of sexual
freedom, it was hard to escape the growing
pressure. To escape the growing pressure.
Porn is the future.
It was an incredible success.
Ilona became a porn star,
a term that didn't exist.
Didn't exist. I invented it.
Ilona is the first public figure who, with the
same face and body, goes from being a porn star
to being a porn production.
Pornographic production.
We founded the first Italian
talent agency for the porn world.
I call them "artists without limits".
Pictures, pictures. And not content with that, we we
created the Love Party, we created the Love Party.
Better known as Cicciolina, Ilona
Staller is now a member of parliament
for the Radical Party, with over 20,000 votes.
She's ready.
Our relationship has lasted over 18
years. But we kept it a secret.
Riccardo knew that Cicciolina could not
belong to one man.
She had to belong to everyone. But
like all good things, there is always an end.
She fell in love with one of the world's most
artists in the world.
When they decided to get married, I
rented a hotel room overlooking the church.
I watched her happily leave with him from the terrace.
As at every stressful moment in
my life, I had a bout of diabetes.
The doctor speaks in his mother tongue.
The doctor speaks in his mother tongue.
The doctor speaks in his mother tongue Stay.
I had met her a few years earlier.
Despite the skepticism of many, I
believed in her from the very first moment.
Simply because she believed in herself.
I've always been a convinced exhibitionist.
The looks on my body always made me feel good.
I've had lots of lovers. I've always had them.
And always at the same time as an official boyfriend.
Builders. Industrialists.
Jewelers. Powerful politicians.
Very powerful.
I've always liked sex.
But with whomever I wanted.
Oh, please. Please.
Follow me, please.
Before I got into porn, I wanted to be a great actress.
| The auditions are in. I auditioned a lot
for the so-called "institutional" cinema.
They were great
producers, great directors.
But once I was in the room, it was
customary for everyone to audition.
And when I say everyone, I mean everyone.
Then came the first porn film. I made it out
of curiosity and found nothing wrong with it.
But I was working in television at the time and got laid off.
I'm still working here.
The program is aimed at children.
The greatest paradox is that unlike film and
television, I've never been touched in porn.
- Moana, excuse me.
- Yes?
- They're asking if you have a blood test.
- Yes, of course I do.
And then the guys were all young, cute and tested.
The universe is a point of view. Everyone has their own.
I like anything unusual,
different, off the beaten track.
Then I met Riccardo Schicchi.
No one could create the icons he did.
In fact, they all wanted to work with Riccardo.
I understood, Mundial Sex.
Cicciolina and Moana at the World Cup.
You who make love to all the until you destroy them.
- Italy wins the World Cup.
- Yes, Italy misses...
- How beautiful.
- Italy misses so much.
- Starting with the goalkeeper.
- You're a genius. - Let's not exaggerate.
Among the side events the World Cup, there's a film.
In red light. The star is Moana Pozzi.
Moana Pozzi! Applause
She was intelligent, elegant, elusive.
What is your modesty? The things you'd never do.
Reveal my feelings to people who
. with whom I have no intimacy.
She had so much class
that sometimes you wondered what he was doing there.
I have feelings, the first person person I meet
or a friend, a superficial friend.
There was something impervious to everyone.
Something I don't think he ever revealed to anyone.
Why did she go to America? Because she wanted
sometimes to be as far away
from herself and hit rock bottom.
Without protection, without anything.
With actors caught in the street, like
cats. Does that sound normal to you?
Aren't you going to say anything? You just
stand there drinking the coffee I'm offering you.
My compliments. You killed yourself.
You killed yourself when you had to.
- Shame on you. - Mr Schicchi.
- You should be ashamed of yourselves.
- Moana. - Shall we?
- We must.
There's always been a lot of rumors about me.
Nobody knows what it was that was eating away at me.
Don't bother us. Just pretend you're working.
I'm paying you, I don't know if you remember.
I've taken the truth with me.
He may not be a genius, but he's a producer.
Moana, Marietto is a loan shark. He's not a producer.
He's offering me four films.
You can make a film every three years, you still
make a lot of money, but I have programs, advertising...
He gives me 400 million in four weeks.
Can you make me that kind of money?
- No, I can't.
- Eh.
But if you work with me, they'll
will stay beautiful forever, Moana.
But you went to America. You got small and fat.
And fat, I'm not kidding. That's because
because of the hormones in your meat.
- Stop it.
- There are studies. I'm not kidding you.
Those hormones make you small and thick.
And in fact, you're getting smaller and smaller.
- I'm worried.
- But what am I worried about?
- Why do you have to go to America?
- I had a great time, I swear.
I even met a boy...
Cute, very young.
With the other one, with the very old
one, how are things going? The lawyer.
Forget about him.
So you say why money.
But because money is... real, it's there, concrete.
People
I'll check the programs.
Whatever you want, okay.
But I'll sign the contract for the four films.
Moana. You can do anything, Moana.
Right here...
Anything.
Inaudible voice
pleasant presence.
I speak English and French.
A little Spanish and...
- Yes, better spelled French.
- Dream?
- Dream?
- The dream. What's your dream?
- I don't know what it is.
- You're very shy, aren't you? - No, she's not.
- You're very shy.
- No, I wouldn't say that.
- There's...
- Well, there's...
No one in the world will ever be big
enough to intimidate you. Don't forget that.
The dream is to be a journalist.
Good for you. Keep it in mind.
I have to go and get my insulin because I couldn't eat the doughnut - but
it's my favourite dessert. Eat the doughnut - but it's my favorite dessert.
Wait for me here.
Yes, yes. I
was desperate.
With a mortgage on my back and a job I'd
just lost. I come from a small village near Rome.
Mother at home, father a shopkeeper.
Normality catapulted
into a world of excess.
- It wasn't until my first job interview that I realized what it was all about.
- Had you noticed? - No, I hadn't. - Hadn't you?
They're all looking at you. Yes, because
they think you're my artist.
That's a good sign, Miss.
Do you know that it's harder to find a good secretary
than a good actress? That's why I pay two and a half million.
- Two and a half million?
- Yes.
- Are you good with cats?
- Cats? - Fundamental.
- Fundamental.
- The only thing he has to do is figure out how to make news.
- News. - He's got to figure out how to make us news.
- Yes, he does.
- I'll take that bag for you.
- Thank you very much.
I'll take mine. Let's go to my office.
- Your office? Isn't it closed on Saturdays?
- It's mine, mademoiselle.
- I open it whenever I want.
- I have an appointment.
Having been harassed in all my jobs, it was only
natural that in the age of disinhibition, I should
expect the same practice.
Only in a more uninhibited way.
On the fourth floor is Moana,
above Ilona Staller. Moana isn't here.
- She's in America, in New York. Has she ever been there?
- No, she hasn't.
I live here. Next door is the office. Downstairs...
- Are we going home or to the office?
- We'll go in here.
Come along, Mademoiselle.
There's a small apartment downstairs
that we use to house the girls from Hungary.
It's small but pleasant. The
carpet is clean, I've had it redone.
You can lie down there, if you like. Come along.
So you like cats - Yes, I like cats.
Cats. That's very important, because there are 23 of them.
Cats meowing Over there are the meat cans.
I eat the kibbles.
. keep them in the boxes.
We give cod to the white
because she has a weak stomach.
- Keys?
- The coat? The coat, mademoiselle.
- There it is. Watch your shoulder.
- Keys?
- Here they are.
- Thank you very much.
See you tomorrow at my office.
Pull the door behind you and I'll lock it.
The key. For the rehearsal, Monday - nine o'clock, here.
I'll take care of it.
Thank you
very much, mademoiselle.
Phone ringing
- Diva Futura?
- Open the door, Miss.
- I don't understand. Please open the door!
- Ah, yes.
- Do you see this beautiful sun? How are things?
- Mercedes is in her room.
- Is she smoking?
- Yes, she's smoking.
Three rules, no smoking, no cigarettes, no drugs.
- It's not complicated.
- What the hell.
No swearing. He's smoking. When science proves me right - she'll be dead
I have an 80-year-old aunt...
Who cares about her aunt.
It's my agency and she doesn't smoke.
If her aunt is a chimney, that's her problem.
I've had it. I'm out of here.
As if I didn't know why she was leaving.
Then you come back?
The telephone rings
The telephone rings
"A briefcase belonging to
Mr. Schicchi's father-in-law has disappeared..."
With ten million. He says he left it here - but nobody's found it.
Now it's all about me?
And then, 15 days later, the one
who shows up with a quarter of new tits.
That's for sure.
- And she says, "Mr. Schicchi" - Did she leave?
- I'm on my way!
In 20 minutes, you pick me up, okay?
- I'll be there.
- The office with a view is yours.
You're welcome.
May I knock?
- Hello, Riccardo. See you soon.
- Bye, Mercedes.
They called about the program I told you about. There's this
housewife who prostitutes herself without her husband knowing.
- They wanted to interview her, but she gave up.
- I didn't make love to her.
We're engaged. I've never
made love to him. I made love to him.
After 20 years of sexual revolution,
punishable by chastity.
Ah, Mr. Schicchi.
I get the quote and the octopus lights up.
- Cute. - For the program - .- Water guns?
- Water guns.
- A must.
- They called from the program... - That's no good.
- I've got two.
- That's not enough, we need at least 20.
- I'll get some more.
- They asked us for a girl.
- Let's give her to them.
- The interview was supposed to be secret.
- Secret?
- Yes, face-to-face.
I send them out - any extras?
They're paying eight million. They can pay whatever
they want. I don't send my hooded female artists on TV.
No way. Our artists must be sublimated.
- They must not be mortified.
- Is masking your face like the mafia? - No, it isn't.
I wonder about her. I think she's right.
The phone rings - I hadn't thought of that.
You have to think about it.
- I'll call back. - Ah, Mademoiselle.
- Yes?
Did you give tinta?
- Tinta?
- Tinta, on Patricia's desk is her lunch.
You can recognize it because it hops.
Lunch for Tinta. Who's the python?
It's the python. In the green room over there.
Yes, it is. No, it's not.
No, but it's clear. For the
contract, you're talking to...
Of course, you could have told me it was a quail.
I'm sending it back. Everything has to be
redone. This not appropriate, mademoiselle.
- Why is that? Well, I'm here...
- He can't find a girl for the interview.
- She's the one...
- They pay two million, as if they were giving up.
- Understand? - Yes, I understand.
- She's too sweet.
"And polite, Mademoiselle. Too polite."
You don't have what it takes. Get a job.
I can't find my keys.
Tomorrow, there'll be a girl in
place in the housekeeper's place.
I'm sick of always taking her the keys.
I'm not going back to Calcata to give them to her.
I also wanted to talk to you about reorganizing things
that don't work in the office.
Office. How to reorganize it.
We'll discuss it at your convenience.
Take care of the program and the shows.
We'll discuss anything you like,
at your convenience.
Shall we have lunch?
See you then. Although I kept telling
myself that I wanted to be a journalist
and that this was a temporary job that
turned out to be far from what I expected.
Patrizia is here with us.
From that day on, I stayed here for
ten long years, learning everything
that helped me to survive and earn a living.
With an angel's face like hers
why do you prostitute yourself?
You know, I buy bags, shoes...
Yes, I buy bags, shoes... Yes, I do.
- Is that allowed?
- Yes, hello. You can leave it there.
- Go right ahead. There, on the chair.
- That makes four costumes.
Two elves and two fairies, as you told me.
A little signature here, please.
- That's fine, thank you.
- Yes, sorry about that. Good-bye.
Do they know at home? Have you asked your parents?
If she ever has a baby? Have you
thought about the consequences?
You have to be sure. Porn isn't like that.
- Maybe I'll think about it.
- She's so young, she's got plenty of time.
- We'll stay here anyway.
- Thank you very much. - Don't mention it.
Good-bye, dear. If they were
scientists, they were scientists...
- There are three things.
- Yes, tell me.
All confirmed for today, two men and two women.
- Three men and three women.
- You said two.
- No, I didn't. Did you read the script?
- Yes, I read the script.
- I need at least three men.
- So you need two. - Yes, I would.
- Then there would be the 144 cassettes.
- Yes.
Very interesting news. For a recording
of - Moana, they pay 200 million.
- How much are they paying?
- 200. - Please continue.
Go on, then. For Mrs. Pozzi...
- Yes.
- A painting arrived from Schifami.
I think it's a portrait of him.
- It's beautiful.
- There's a package from De Crescenzo.
It must be a book. Schifami is very important.
Mr. Schicchi, Miss Mercedes...
Mademoiselle, please. Mind your own business.
There might be a heart in here. I can't
I'll call her. She doesn't answer.
- I'll call her. - Good for you. What's your name?
- Who's Schicchi?
- I'd do it a little more...
- Maman.
- Who's Schicchi?
- Who's Schicchi?
Stop teasing me. I'm Debora's mother.
I'm here to inform you that she's not a slut.
- He's got a family.
- There's no doubt about it.
I've got my eye on you, Mr.
Schicchi. I'm sorry about this.
- Mother, everyone works here.
- Nice work.
Mother, this is temporary.
- When is it my turn? - Just a minute, wait, really.
- We're gonna fix this right now.
I'll see you at home.
- It's only temporary.
- I have a great mom.
- You have a great mom.
- A little unusual, but a great mom.
Of course.
- It's very important to have a good mother behind you.
- But she's gone? - Yes, she's gone. - So, um
I still remember
his first look.
There was something empathetic about him. He was
always smiling and at the same time he was watching you as
if to understand you, to look at you. To understand you, to
look inside you. Voices Mr. Schicchi, are the flowers nice?
He courted me for almost eight months. At one point, I thought
he just wanted to be a friend. But instead, he was a romantic.
- The din, mademoiselle.
- Yes.
Quick, it's a beautiful day.
You couldn't say he was a sex
symbol, he was skinny and not very fit.
But he was the nicest man I'd ever met.
There was something innocent,
almost childlike in his enthusiasm.
An island of love. Where you
you can make love without taboos
and without anyone
disturb you. I want to be an island of love.
Do you understand me? No, don't you understand?
But do you believe me?
- Pull her hair.
- Marcelina, no...
The phone's ringing The phone, miss.
Go over there and answer it.
- You should already be answering it.
- The pasta's ready.
- Let's roll.
- I'm so hungry.
Malcolm, let's finish the scene.
Come on, Ricky. But we've been here for five hours.
- Take a break.
- If Mercedes is hungry, let's take a break. - Pausina.
This is a disaster. You're not fishing
you're always in the field.
You're a bum, there's no point in nodding.
You take ten people, lock them in a
room lock them in a room and film them.
While they sleep, they make love.
What do people care about people to watch you cook?
- Who would watch, Mr. Schicchi?
- You would.
- I don't watch anything, least of all this.
- If they want to fuck?
- It's entertainment.
- Yeah, whatever.
Indistinct voices - I'll be in front of the camera all the time.
Like you, a lot of them.
Marcellina guessed it. It would be a worldwide success.
She knew how to dream big.
Besides, no one had ever ever made me laugh so hard.
Eva, don't listen to them. They don't understand.
They don't understand me.
I did three seasons there. And if I spend
the summer there, I can do all of next winter.
- Tomorrow, we'll go shopping for new shoes, yes?
- No, we won't.
I had the distinct impression that
I'd found the solution to my existence.
All I had to do now was let go.
But what I didn't know yet was that
I had just met the man who would
love me more than anyone else in my life.
A few weeks later, a two-year-old girl
arrived in the newsroom.
Blonde, pest, delicious.
- Mercedes, whom everyone calls Memi.
- You play with Daddy.
And you play with Daddy.
- Miss, don't you know each other?
- No, we haven't.
This is my daughter.
I had an affair with Eva a few years ago.
By the sea. My daughter, Mlle.
Eva, we must make her famous.
- I already have programs in mind to send her.
- We'll call them right away.
I'll see to it. You put her on the Fans Club shows.
She'll never make a movie, Eva.
- Why's that?
- That she doesn't do porn.
Eva doesn't do porn. She should know that too.
It's good that everyone knows it,
that she knows it too.
Eva doesn't...
They've been printed. These are
slides. We make holy cards.
- About 200?
- 200, 300. No, no. 2000, 3000.
Ah, I'll need the Santa suit.
- The one from the study.
- So, er...
- The suit's been... used.
- Take it to the cleaners. By the 25th.
Daddy will be right back. OK? Wait here.
Bear, you must promise never to,
ever tell Memo that I'm not his father.
Also because I feel like his dad. I am his dad.
- Yes, you are.
- Maybe we should keep him company.
With a little brother or sister.
With a little brother or sister.
And maybe we should even get married at this point.
For the meme.
We have to go ask my parents.
- It's tradition in Hungary.
- We're going to Hungary
and ask our parents. Let's go wherever you want.
Eva sings
Father Mauro!
- Don't be scandalized, Mademoiselle.
- I'm not scandalized.
They're among our biggest customers.
Pussycat, do you remember Pussycat?
She's been with one of them for two years. A nice little boy.
- Is that right?
- Two years isn't very long...
- Not a little at all.
- Not a little, no.
- You were incredible, Eva.
- You need to make a movie.
- Don't you?
- Forget the movie, no.
You'll be famous.
- She's already famous.
- You'll be rich.
You'll buy a Mercedes, like Moana.
What do you care about the Mercedes? You've got me.
Don't listen to him, Eva. Don't listen to him.
Music
My embarrassment is to know if I should consider you a woman
or rather a material and non-biodegradable.
I think that nowadays, your parents only
recognize you by your voice, because
I wanted to show them that it's possible today,
thanks to science and technology, to become people.
Technology, to become people.
But everybody knows that, you know?
- Let's show it.
- Because I've published a book.
Yes, I published a book, The Philosophy of Moana,
which contains all my since the beginning of my...
For those who haven't bought it, let's show it to them.
And also because I'm afraid of landslides, aren't I?
As a silicone, at some point
- we don't know what might happen.
- Show this.
- Come on, let's go.
- Where's the... - This...
Let's see what Moana looked like before and after the treatment.
- This is "Novella 2000".
- Novella 2000. This is.
It's hope for you ugly girls.
You can become porn stars.
I let him be mean, it's not a problem.
It's all right here.
I now wanted to summon Dr Marco Gasparotti
- I don't understand.
- There's nothing to understand.
I don't want to do porn anymore.
I don't want to.
I want to do something else.
Have you completely lost your mind?
Let's hear it. What do you hope to do?
In the meantime, porn is slowing me down.
I tried to write, but it didn't work. Work.
People don't take me seriously.
I want to do something else.
I know I can do something else. Who put
this shit in your head, that one, your husband?
Antonio's the only one who never said anything to me.
Do you know how much money I'm giving up with you?
Do you know how much money I'm giving up?
You did porn!
When you do porn, you're a porn actress. Period!
And you want to make normal movies.
When they look at you, all they
your pussy and your ass!
That's all they think about. You want to do something else.
Where are you going? Who the fuck do you think you are? You bitch!
Moana!
That bitch...
- Good morning, Mattei.
- Hello, De'.
- Hello, you are?
- I'm Mary.
- Mr. Schicchi told me to wait here.
- Excuse me a moment.
- Mr. Schicchi, the girl in my office...
- I'm afraid I can't.
- Mademoiselle, uh... What did you take?
- Eva gave them to me.
Come, come. These are
Marcellina's rehearsals for 144.
Come here, mi ci no mio.
Moaning Yes, that's how I like it.
Why do you want to put your finger in my ass?
Moan
- You're very good, Marcellina.
- Very, very good. - Are you really?
- Yes, it's graceful, balanced, never rhetorical.
- Very clear.
- She never likes anything.
- She never does.
I thought it was nice too, but I wanted to hear from you.
- Because anyway...
- You've got talent, Marcellina.
Riccardo, you're number one.
- I put my heart into it.
- You can feel it. - I can feel it, Marcellina.
I'm really too happy.
Anyway, we can can now make appointments at the club
I'm having my calves done in a month.
- We'll make a note of it.
- Make a note? - In the diary.
- Well, I'm off.
- I'm off.
- Good morning to you.
- Hello, Marcellina. - Good-bye, Marcellina.
- Good-bye, Marcellina, good girl.
- Good-bye, good-bye.
Door slamming Disaster.
Poor thing, what a disaster.
The footballer she's with is ruining her.
So, in my opinion, there's no point in doing her calves.
- No, she needs to take part in shows.
- Yes, we need to help her.
Let's help her. In a way.
Signor Schicchi, the girl at my desk, Mary.
I brought her from Milan. We've got to help her.
- She's 18, we have to take care of her.
- Why do we have to take care of her?
It's a perforated smurf, Mary.
And I'm entrusting him to
her. You take care of yourself.
No movies. Just shows, even Mary.
- I'll take those pictures.
- What do you mean, "Smurf with a hole in it"?
First he did Snow White and the 30 Dwarfs.
Inexperienced, thrown on a set like that.
Just like that. Does that sound like a way
- to treat a girl?
- Until I have to take care of her myself...
Mademoiselle! We're amoral, not immoral.
Take her to the rooms and
let her choose the one she prefers.
Take care of yourself, Mademoiselle.
Door slamming
Sound of falling Ambulance siren
He just woke up.
Ah, yes.
Your mommy.
Yes, she says hello.
An attack of diabetes, as usual.
- She'll be fine.
- What do you think, Mademoiselle?
Do you think Eva's staying with me because...
she feels familiar with me?
Familiar? We found it on the floor.
I must remind you of an old
disabled cousin who's in Hungary...
A naughty little toad.
I met him when we got married.
He made her develop
a sense of tenderness... for shabby men.
But never tell her.
Because he doesn't know yet.
- When did you get here?
- Last night.
And this morning at the office, they told me you were here.
I'm really back.
It's over now. No, it's not.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
He couldn't stand the blond. He said he remembered
remember too many things, that I was doing porn.
He just doesn't get it.
Men are crazy about uninhibited women.
As long as they're not their wives or mothers.
- Yes.
- We're weird.
Everyone except you.
I was in love. I really was.
- I know you were.
- He did horrible things to me.
Horrible things.
It was cruel.
The little one?
Is the baby here?
- Yes, the baby's here.
- Then you're home.
We're all here. Let's start again.
You got to take it easy, huh?
You've had your breasts done.
They're beautiful. They're like this now.
My breasts were hollowed out from nursing.
It was indecent.
What about this one?
- Oh, no, no. Nothing, a witness.
- A witness to what?
Well, I mean... You can't just get married
like this with everything in your name.
- Can't I? I have to get married in your name?
- I've got the papers from the lawyer.
Ilona, forget the papers. We've been through this.
I left you the apartments and the other company too.
- It was more convenient for you.
- If you die, everything will go to this one.
- Of course it will. Because she's my wife.
- What the...
Why do I have to die? I'm younger.
This is madness, Riccardo. You don't even
know her and you're marrying her.
- We've done everything together.
- And now here she is. - She's my wife.
- I have no words, Riccardo.
- Ilona, you're not well.
Here, Ilona, you're not well.
No matter what.
Here it is!
The crowd cheers
Eve's cries of pain
Please don't sign. You don't know that.
He's a friend, why don't I know him?
He'll double it, I'll invest...
But these bills have already been passed.
What do you care about the dates, Bear? He's a friend, I'm telling you.
- I know this guy. Please believe me.
- I'm begging you.
- Please don't do it.
- Please get up.
- Please, please, please.
- Bear, come.
Baby, listen to me.
I'm your wife. And I'm asking you not to sign.
What I'm telling you may be worth something.
How beautiful you are, my bear.
TV voice: You underestimate me.
But you're beautiful, my bear.
You underestimate me.
- Just trust me.
- All I have to do is start making movies...
- Do you know how much money we make?
- No, I don't!
There are lots of ways to make money.
The other day, after the show, a man wanted an autograph and
as he was about to sign it, he said to me: "I've seen all your films".
- To me.
- But you didn't make them. - I didn't.
- What did you say?
- I said it, and he said, "Aren't you Schicchi's wife?"
- Schicchi's wife?
- Yes, it's the same whether I do them or not.
- No, it isn't. You don't know what you're talking about.
- You always said he was handsome.
- No, I haven't.
- We do it all the time at the office.
- Why don't I give it a try?
- Bear, you're obsessed.
This isn't for you. This is
not for you. We already did it!
You've done porn before. You and me as newlyweds.
It's porn. All auditions. Porn.
Yeah, that halfway through, he goes soft.
- No, he didn't.
- I made it.
I want to make a real movie.
- With real actors. Professionals...
- Real movies have two faces.
- Who can do.
- Real movies... Listen to me, bear.
- Real movies always have two sides.
- But real...
- You never listen to me.
- Of all the actresses
you say "beautiful". You don't understand what I can do.
I have to work artistically.
- Artistically?
- Yes, artistically. - Riccardo!
Did you have to put your hands on this one's body?
Yes, to take a good photo, you need lots of hands.
- Bear, that's just stupid paranoia.
- Riccardo, really.
I could do great things. The baby cries
Without this fool who comes to take all our money...
Newborn cries and screams
- Here I am, my love!
- He's a friend.
Bear!
Television voice
And then there's the shell. Look at that, bear.
Franco Miseria succeeded.
It moves. You'll stay here.
You turn slowly and appear. Like the Madonna.
I thought of the title "La coquille viole", which is beautiful.
"La coquille viole"?
- That's poetic.
- "Finally a porn star".
- Trust us to sell more.
- "The violated conch".
Please! I think it's much fairer because
after all, how long have you been together?
Five years.
- Porn stars at last.
- The other title is more consistent with the plot.
Porn stars at last... I'm the director.
I'll have the right to choose the...
At least as a subtitle.
It's more exotic...
- Hello.
- What's it to you?
- We put it as a subtitle.
- And then the boys, Marietto, clean.
Can I choose them too? Can I have a look? Cute, clean.
I like them a lot. Bear!
Music, Rustichelli. I convinced Rustichelli.
- Did you?
- Yes, I did it.
- Take a look at this.
- It's beautiful. Now let's try it on.
Brusio
Mr. Schicchi.
Signorina.
- How are you?
- Very well.
How are you?
I brought you lunch.
Please come. Follow me. I have to
feed the rabbits instead.
I have four rabbits. They mated and now there are 26.
The male is relentless.
One of them even has his name on it.
Here it is.
It's you, mademoiselle.
The Internet ruined everything, mademoiselle.
There's no professionalism anymore.
Underpaid girls.
Nowadays, anyone can wake up and make a film.
No vision, no art.
There's mass control,
without poetry. Have you seen it?
I've had it for three seasons.
If I'm good, I'll dig up the summer
summer and do autumn.
If Eva knew...
Eh... Eva.
How's the work going?
- It's not easy.
- What do you mean it's not easy?
Every time I send out a rsum,
they always expect a depraved rsum.
Mademoiselle.
Never let other people's words define who you are.
If I had let that happen, I I wouldn't
have done anything with my life.
Instead, we did a little something.
- YES.
- And the dream?
Eh... The dream, the dream is here.
Don't despair. Give me three, four months, I'll
clean up and you can come back and work for us.
No, I won't, Mr Schicchi.
And it hurts, Mademoiselle.
Because the women who work with
- me - they keep themselves beautiful.
- Do they? - Yes, they do.
And those who leave become ugly. Have you seen Ilona?
- She's been reborn since she came back.
- Eh, it doesn't matter.
- She's beautiful.
- I'll become ugly.
Suit yourself. I've got a few
editorial appointments anyway.
If you want to get ugly, ugly and horny.
Ah, Mr. Schicchi, I'm planning a surprise!
- What's the surprise?
- I can't tell you.
- Mademoiselle, tell me the surprise.
- Oh, no, no, no.
- But you've already announced it.
- I know, you're right. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Oh, that's all right. - You should go.
- It's going to take a while anyway.
She's very strange.
The kids are playing They
called from Rai, Bear.
- They want us for the Mammuccari show.
- Oh, that's nice.
Don't put me under the table.
No, I'll get under it myself. We tell him.
Only if he comes with his wife, I'm told.
They want the couple, the bear.
The children play - We're finally going to get along.
If the kids find out...
- Mom and Dad aren't...
- We don't tell them.
- We don't tell the kids.
- We can do so much.
- I'm not jealous anymore.
- But you don't have to be.
- I don't have to fear madness.
- Why be jealous?
What are you saying, that you've ruined everything!
I loved you. That's the only mess I've made.
We've never gotten along as well as we do now.
What a sad sentence, Bear.
If you think about it, I'll stay
here. I'll always be in the kitchen.
Hello?
- Riccardo, Massimiliano.
- Riccardo, nice to meet you.
- Pleased to meet you.
- My pleasure.
- Sorry for the delay.
- Nice shirt. - Oh, thank you. Thank you.
- We have to...
- You know, the kids today...
- They brought me an appetizer, so it's okay.
- He's a nice man.
- And how old are you?
- I'm 34.
- Are you 34? - Yes, I'm old.
- But why are you talking like that?
I woke up today with this this
problem and I don't know what to say.
She's 34. Are you rich or not?
Bear, come on, stop it.
I have the right to ask the man seeing
my wife if he's rich or not. Are you rich?
- Are you rich or not rich?
- Normal.
- I don't know, normal.
- How old are you?
- I said 34.
- Good evening, good evening.
- Good evening, good evening. - What can I get you?
- The usual.
I'll have a zucchini pie and an amatriciana.
- For the latter, what have you got?
- The omelette. Very famous.
- Bring him an omelette.
- OK.
- Leave him alone.
- How did it go today?
- Fine, fine. How about you?
- Me, fine.
It occurred to me that I have a colleague who, when
he's out with his wife, told me he has a crazy
babysitter, so if you want - I'll ask him for the details.
- If you like, I'll ask him for the details.
- Shall I pass them on to you?
Ricca, come here, I'm not
do anything to you. I'll just kill you.
- Oh, come here.
- Bear!
Bear!
- Stop it! Stop it! - What the hell?
- Don't hurt him.
- Massi, don't touch him.
- But I don't... - What happened?
- Nothing, what happened...
- He can't be serious.
He's been following me all morning.
Everywhere, he just stands there.
What am I going to do? So you're saying you're losing your mind.
- He can't be serious.
- Maybe it's hypoglycemia. - What if it is?
What, hypoglycemia? He's just an asshole.
- Maybe we can measure it, huh.
- Oh, my goodness.
- He's crazy, dangerous. I mean, look at him.
- Eva, two days and he's out.
Even for children, I say.
Two days.
How the fuck do I do it? How the fuck do I do it?
Horn
I don't care, just get them back.
I said yes to rabbits.
We can't bring an animal every month.
They sent me the ASL, what was I supposed to do?
Maybe the ASL is right,
considering the end of the other rabbits.
- Memi is still crying. - I'm crying too.
- What did I know about foxes?
- He didn't.
- I had thought that.
Please, there's also the fawn.
Even the beast they wanted to slaughter.
They're crazy.
Aren't you going to say anything? And you're not saying anything.
- He says nothing.
- Then I'm crazy.
I'm crazy. Let's go to the farm.
- Bring me two giraffes.
- What do you think?
We'll put her in the pen with the fawns.
With fawns. A good idea.
They warm up together. It's wonderful.
- And they eat the same grass.
- I'm pregnant.
You're not getting divorced, are you?
- No, I'm not.
- You're not getting a divorce? - No, I'm not getting divorced.
You and I aren't getting back together, my bear.
Well, good luck with that.
- What's it cost you?
- Father's already inside.
- At least know how Eva's doing.
- You can't go in there. - Why can't I?
- The father is inside.
- But I'm her husband. -I don't understand.
- I have to go in.
- Who's inside? - The father.
- And I'm the husband. I have to come in.
- There can only be one person.
Then take off the father and put on the husband.
She's so beautiful.
Hey, it's Uncle Richard. That's Uncle Richard.
It's the only beautiful thing you've ever done.
Moana Pozzi's new film,
without red light, is a failure.
Unanimous condemnation from critics critics who would
only see her in the adult films to which she owes her fame.
At least once in your life, listen to me.
You can't campaign as if you
were an intellectual. You're not.
We have to drive around Rome in a convertible.
- No, we don't.
- To hand out leaflets and sweets.
We're a rainbow.
All this seriousness is going to kill us.
- Can you work with these crows?
- But they're not two crows.
- They're both philosophers.
- No, they're two rotten little mice.
- Take my word for it.
- They're very bad.
Honey, come on. There you are. There you are.
Come on, honey.
- Last time, he got over 22,000 preference votes.
- She wasn't elected...
That went well. Why did she run for mayor this time?
Because I love Rome and I felt that...
The desire to make a social commitment to my city.
It's not for publicity, as many people thought.
What would you do if you became mayor?
I'd be inflexible. I'd be a scary controller.
Above all, I'd make sure
everyone did their duty.
And then severely punish those who do wrong...
We wish you all the best
for the new election campaign.
- We thank you.
- We'd like to thank you.
I must go, goodbye.
I must go, goodbye.
It's the ANSA questionnaire they
give they give to all mayoral candidates.
I know what it is, mademoiselle.
It's a bit avant-garde.
A party, not founded by a character...
The telephone rings
- Moana is right-wing.
- Yes, turn the other page.
Hello? Brusio
- Noana is totally right-wing.
- Yes, she is.
Wait, don't... It's Ilona.
- I can't hear you.
- What does Ilona want?
Wait, I don't understand... It's okay, it's okay.
Ilona, you want us to come... Okay, we'll come.
- When was all this?
- Last night.
My lawyer called from the States and nothing.
My husband took him back there.
Of course, you're right.
- He didn't even have the child on his passport.
- Now, you tell me how he did it.
- You son of a bitch.
- Technically, it's kidnapping.
Under Italian law.
My baby, kidnapped?
Do you know what the lawyer said?
I can't even do shows anymore
or I'll lose the custody suit.
I've already stopped taking my
panties off at shows. Tell him, Riccardo.
You tell him. I take off my panties?
She never takes them off.
What if I can't do it now? How can I pay the lawyers?
- He's right about that.
- They'll take my baby away if I do my job.
- If I take off my underwear, a pair...
- You're not taking them off.
Where do you think babies come from?
I'll tell you. We don't wear panties when they're born.
All right, then. I think we have everything.
If you give me a moment, I'll make copies of the
complaints and bring them to you to sign. Excuse me, please.
My baby.
I'm taking it back anyway.
As God is my witness, I'm taking my baby back.
I'll have him. I'll get him.
- I'll go through Mexico.
- Where are you going?
- You can't go. - I'm going through Mexico.
- In America, they'll stop you.
I know America well. Did you listen to the police?
- Technically, it's kidnapping.
- To Italy.
- We have the right to take him back.
- You know what they do to you, it's the father.
- What father?
- But I can't be kidnapped.
- I can also be invisible.
- Riccardo, you have two sons.
- What are you up to? You'll never see them again.
- This is dangerous.
You're a slut. You're only interested
in your children. What about mine?
So you brought him here. You steal him
whenever you can.
- Selfish!
- No, no, no.
- Shouting - Selfish!
- Enough, enough!
They're fighting over me.
Ladies, calm down, please.
- Enough, enough!
- Madame, you must leave.
A few hours ago,
Francesco Rutelli and
Gianfranco Fini ran for mayor of Rome.
| Both candidates are preparing for
their their next engagements in Rome.
Moana, this is your second electoral defeat after
the one you suffered two years ago in Parliament.
Is it fair to say that you didn't win by a hair's breadth?
What's very regrettable is that the people
in the newspapers didn't take me seriously.
But I was really serious.
I've never been so serious in my life.
What did you regret most?
Well, being underestimated is
the thing that hurts the most
I'd rather say I didn't win by a hair...
Weren't you afraid that all the peas
peas would fall on his head?
- No, I don't think so.
- After the third month, I think
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Do you have a tonic? I'm a little nauseous.
But of course, you didn't think of that.
What do you think? It's not
just for work. It's for life too.
- These envelopes are for you.
- But they're ugly.
Inside these envelopes are beautiful things.
Where's Marcellina?
- She's just arrived. She must be getting ready.
- She must be getting ready.
- I can't stay with an empty scene.
- I'll go and see.
- Bear, are you going? - I already have.
- They'll be happy if you come back.
Marcelina?
Do you know where Marcellina is?
Oh, Marcellina!
Help me! Help me, please! Oh!
Help me! Scream
These are real screams. Marietto, these are real screams.
- Marcellina is really screaming.
- You know, it's hard to tell.
- It's not hard, it's a real scream.
- Yes, maybe it is.
I don't give my artists the opportunity to do these things anymore.
- These are the things that go. The most popular.
- But who cares?
They want to make real the
mental disorders of the worst males.
Marietto, we invented porn, not this crap.
Let's put their heads in the because they ask for it.
These are fantasies, they're not real.
They're fantasies that make things real.
Everyone watches porn. Everyone.
And what do we do? We get inside people's heads
and tell them they're getting off on slaughtering women.
Does that seem fair to you? Not to me. Tomorrow, I'll only
invest in projects of a certain standard. Like The Wet Brat.
- When we remade the finale.
- Was it good? - Yes, it was good.
The ending went really well.
- It went really well.
- It wasn't a big investment.
- Who cares? - It was useless.
- You haven't even seen it.
- No, I went to the video stores.
- What did they say? - The tapes weren't rewound.
They stopped at minute ten.
| No one watches your endings. They
want the movies where they rape the women.
Where they beat them, sodomize them.
If they put their heads in the toilet and flush, it's no big deal.
That's
true.
But one thing's for sure, you make porn too.
Even in your movies, they fuck. Here,
they've had to make them scream a bit more.
- This is different. - It isn't.
- Yes, mine is art.
But what art? You said it yourself, you invented the thing.
- It's still porn.
- It's not like you're playing the beautiful soul with us.
Even if you put little flowers, little
wreaths, you still make money with pussy.
It's a fact of life. You make money with pussy too.
I like to amaze, not mortify.
I don't mind. Maybe we'll talk again.
You're not looking too good today.
Pieri, forget it. Let's go.
Bye Ricca', see you tomorrow.
I'm off, Mr.
Schicchi, I have to send this.
Mademoiselle, what do you think?
What do I think? I don't think anything. I think nothing.
Do you agree with them?
Listen, Mr. Schicchi, I understand your
- .- Your fight for freedom.
- I agree too. - But what about you?
You can't possibly think
understand all the fantasies of others.
Yours may be made up of beautiful, colorful things.
But so are these things.
- And you know it.
- I know nothing, Mademoiselle.
But she didn't want Eva to do porn.
It's not the same thing. She doesn't know what she's talking about.
- This is different.
- I don't care what it is.
But maybe it's different.
But before, when they said
those things the doubt, that maybe.
Maybe we, with all this, a little...
Maybe we've contributed a little to this thing.
No?
Hey, baby!
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Hello.
Hi.
You don't smoke. You don't do drugs, Moana.
You're 33 years old. You work out every day. It's not possible.
Everything can be cured these days. Why not yours?
There are therapies for pain.
Treatments to delay it for a few months.
But not a few months, forever.
I've always hated limits. This one is the worst.
My hopes and my horizons.
Here I learned from my father and from life
. my profession as an entrepreneur.
I also learned my passion for freedom.
I'd like to go into the field...
Oh, coffee.
Because I don't want to live in a liberal country.
- Thank you very much.
- You're welcome.
I've put on a few pounds, you know.
- I saw.
- Almost three.
- I feel better now.
- You are better. You look much better.
Television voice
Marietto would like to make
a film by the end of the month.
It would be... The last film.
- The last film of the contract.
- I'll talk to Marietto about it.
He doesn't realize what you're going through.
- No, he doesn't.
- He's a jerk, I'll call him.
- No, I want you to help me turn.
- Don't worry.
- I don't think it's the right thing to do.
- I want to make my last film.
I want to make it.
I've never understood your choices, Moana.
You went to America...
To shoot with street people.
Sometimes you have to see how far horror goes.
Maybe I've been looking for horror all my life, you know.
I learned that very early on.
When certain limits are crossed,
nothing seems so terrible anymore.
You always come back to it.
I'd love to tell you everything, but that terrifies me too.
I want to get out what I know best.
I'm going to help you.
The understudy I'd like to choose with you.
Moana Pozzi, 32, Italy's most Italy's most
famous porn star, has died in France of liver cancer.
News of the death, which occurred
two days ago by her family in Lyon today,
which took place two days ago The
news of her death, which occurred two days
ago, was revealed today in Lyon by her
family. Kept confidential at Moana's request.
Only Mr. Schicchi was not surprised.
But something snapped in his head.
"Better that they live little but free.
"Instead of a long time in a cage," he said.
A few found a new master.
A few died under the cars speeding down the Cassia.
And a fetid, affectionate one colonized the office.
Beautiful, cultured and intelligent,
Moana Pozzi died in hospital in Lyon, France.
We heard the news today, after
the funeral had already taken place.
What killed her, in just over a
month, was a fulgurating liver tumor.
- Life is a dream and dreams...
- Life is a dream. It's beautiful.
I would like to be eternal, I would like to never end.
To always be like this, to be able
do a thousand things. I'd like to...
It would be a wonderful thing.
| Dreams help us to live better,
what do you think? What do you think?
But... I'm a realist, so I have a hard time.
I prefer to think that life is a beautiful dream.
And when it ends, so be it.
Like waking up in the morning
in the morning, it happens to me sometimes
to have a beautiful thing in my hand like this...
Then I wake up and it's gone. I think "what a shame".
We were at home and nothing.
He collapsed and stopped answering me.
With diabetes, attacks become more frequent.
But you can rest easy now.
Acoustic signal machine
- It's me, Ricca'.
- Massi.
- Can you see me?
- In the distance.
You gave us a fright.
What do they give you? Anything good?
- Are we alone?
- Yes, we are.
- Everyone else is over there.
- The guys?
| Guys, Massi?
- You always have to be there, don't you?
- Always with the boys.
Always, always, always. Do you
promise? That you'll always be with the boys.
I'm in, Ricca'.
I'm in. Because I can't stay here forever.
..I get it.
I'm in. I love you, Massi.
I love you so much.
I left some money on your nightstand.
I'm only kidding.
I love you, too.
Hi. Good morning.
Good morning to you.
Brusio Brusio What?
- It costs a little more, though.
- Yes, it does.
- It wasn't worth much.
- Bear, what are you doing?
- What are you doing? What are you doing?
- Meet the engineer.
- I'm building a bunker.
- What's wrong with it?
Everything's up to code.
Bear, you can't make me come back and then... Riccardo.
I asked Massi to let you live here.
With us. But not like this.
- You can't live like this.
- You don't know them, Bear.
They'll come looking for me, but they won't
find me because I'm here.
- But who will come for you?
- They will.
- No one's coming.
- They'll come, Bear.
- This time, I die in prison.
- And what's with the bunker craze?
Diva Futura saved the whole
bunker, don't you remember?
It's not a bunker. I had three
windows and installed a security door.
It's a vault.
Bear.
Thank you very much.
Eva.
I thought I'd make you the Diva Futura.
It's the least I can do, Bear.
With everything you do for me.
This brings the total to 120 million.
And I can still help
you pay off your debts.
That's no problem.
I'm black.
But I'll still help you. That's not the point.
The point, Riccardo, is
that I told you not to sign.
I asked you on my knees, "Please, wear it."
"Please don't sign. I'm begging you."
What kind of couple are we?
You who decide without listening to what your wife says.
- And now he's asking us for money.
- Bear...
When you're hypoglycemic, you do crazy things...
But it's not like you're diabetic and can ruin us all...
Stalker. Don't hire the stalker.
- But you, "no, trust me."
- I thought he'd calm down.
- Does he look calm to you?
- No, he doesn't.
- My stalker that you hired!
- I was wrong.
"It's too much."
I... I liked it so much at first
that you were so... open
that you trusted everyone.
And now... this thing, for me
destroys everything.
I didn't want it. For the picture, the bear.
The photo with the hands. It was an artistic question.
Also, yes. Also, yes.
You're always with everyone with a certain attitude
- I don't like that.
- I need something more normal.
This is too much. It's too crazy like this.
That's it, that's it. Now I have to redo my makeup.
I still can't.
I'm going, it's late.
Bear.
What's next?
I'll stay downstairs with my mother until then.
Can we not tell the kids?
Can we not tell anyone, Bear? For a while.
Eva.
Do you know what everyone is looking for now?
Do you?
Moana's heir, baby.
Moana's heir.
How much should I tell you? How much should I say?
Don't listen to your husband with those little films.
Eva, real porn. I'll make you a star.
Inaudible voice
Hello.
Look, you're turning around now. Turn around.
And you, you put it in his ass. Maybe it'll feel better.
This scene is shit.
Can we stop for a moment? It hurts for a second.
I have two other films
at the same time. But when do I finish?
Slap her later, come on.
Slap her, I can't do it.
I'm sorry, I can't do it. I'm sorry, I can't do it.
We've already shot two scenes and that's two a day.
I can't do anything with these scenes, Eva. There's nothing I can do.
See if I miss the whole day.
- What's up, honey?
- Hey, Simone.
That's what I thought, but Riccardo
was right. It's not for me.
I'm used to... To a different way of doing things.
Another atmosphere. Like films with Riccardo.
You know what I mean? And that's not... I can't do it.
Honey, you signed a contract. For four movies.
Now we have two weeks here in Hungary.
Then two weeks in the U.S.
- It's all organized.
- It's porn.
"Everything is paid for. It's the first day."
The money's been invested. Groans
Somewhere, I've got to get that money back...
Actor speaking in Hungarian
Someone's got to give it back to me.
I'm seizing your house.
I don't know, I don't want to be forced.
There's a contract, Eva.
Don't bullshit me.
Come on, let's go. Just relax for a moment.
Let's take a break, guys.
A break for Eva.
And back to work.
Speak in Hungarian
Speak in English
I was thinking.
Maybe I'll stay home in Campagnano...
- Hi, Mom.
- Hello, my darling. Come on up here.
Hey, hey, hey!
Oh, I missed you.
Ambulance sirens Two minutes
and we're ready for dialysis.
Are you sure we don't want to get back together?
Do we?
You know the first thing I thought of when I saw you?
I've always liked brunettes.
With light eyes.
Instead, the woman in my life was blonde.
I knew it from the first moment.
If I didn't live with you, I was nothing.
Thank you for this.
Hey. Hey, what's wrong?
- I'm scared.
- What are you scared of? - Afraid.
Of what? That you're never afraid of anything.
I'm afraid I won't be there.
I wanted to be at Riccardino's birthday party.
- What are you talking about?
- I wanted to be there.
What are you talking about? Of course you'll be there.
Will I? Yes, you'll be there.
You'll be there. Indistinct voice
Door slamming
I'll wait for you here, eh?
I'll wait for you.
Hello. Good afternoon, madame.
Unfortunately, during his dialysis,
your husband suffered a stroke.
- A stroke?
- Unfortunately, yes, ma'am.
E... He's intubated now.
We're bringing him out of an induced coma.
We'll do this several times to understand
how well the bleeding has subsided.
And, above all, to understand the extent of the damage it has caused.
- Can we see it?
- Of course you can.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
I love you.
I love you.
- They've already done 24.
- It's 26.
In four bloody films. That's 26 films and you
can't do anything about it just an injunction?
I know, he's right. It's all we can do.
I used to shoot pornos, but they don't come out anymore.
I've been working for Media-set for six years.
I can't walk down the street
that all the beautiful children jump out at me.
This summer, me and Gabibbo, nine million viewers.
- Nine and a half million.
- Nine and a half. A record.
- A triumph.
- They said: "King and queen of the ratings".
They've already called me, angry.
"Eva, have you started doing porn again?"
And they're right. This one wants to ruin me.
- I know, I know.
- Now you know.
Do everything, please.
Eva doesn't even know this one.
I've never seen her before in her life, but she seems normal to you?
And I didn't even want to.
You know, after the first scene,
I said I couldn't do it.
I just couldn't...
This one told me that with the
contract he was foreclosing on my house.
And now, every six months, a new film comes out...
And what did I do?
- What did you do? Nothing, Bear.
- The lawyer got the decree - and is pulling all the films.
They're pulling them, but they exist.
They're coming out now. You know what I mean? They're coming out now.
- Why this face?
- Don't blame him
- He's got nothing to do with this.
- I just want to know.
- Why he looked at me funny.
- He didn't make a face.
| pornographic film contracts.
They had nothing to blackmail her with.
- What's this?
- Pornographic films are illegal.
Therefore, all contracts are null and void before the law.
Master, thank you.
Very kind as always.
- I'll show you out.
- Your jacket.
I am confident.
I'm sure we'll solve this, too.
Eva shouts
Ursa.
I hate you. I hate you, I hate you.
You were supposed to stop me from doing them.
Bear, but I tried every way I could.
I told you a thousand times, Bear.
Why are you doing this?
Unfortunately, the worst instincts
always win out in the end.
Everywhere.
In families. In homes. In men.
I've tried everything.
But it's all getting out of hand, bear.
I'm in love with you.
The woman I love must be free.
Free not to love me.
Free to leave me.
Free to even make a porno movie.
No. Honestly, I'm so sorry.
If I could go back I wouldn't
do porn again, that's all.
You've already done it with your husband, haven't you?
Yes, I've done it with Riccardo.
But it was... It was erotic, beautiful.
E... But the fact is, once you've done it
- it's over for life.
- What do you mean by that?
Meaning.
If you're a bartender and you change jobs,
you're going to work, I don't know...
In a bookstore, it's not like you're a bartender for life.
E... If you make a porn movie instead
then you're that all the time. Laughs
Isn't that a bit like denying what made you famous?
No.
I don't think it is.
Yes.
Yes, it's true.
If I were... If I were a scientist, I'd be a scientist.
That's what my husband always says.
Maybe it's true for me too. I don't know, though.
But I...
It's certain that
I've made... The biggest mistake of my life.
I've ruined myself.
I just...
But who are you to judge?
You who in the...
In your computer, or under your
pillow, you have this great secret wish.
I'm here because you exist.
We will
in the park?
Hello, Maria. How are you feeling?
- Hello, Queen.
- You've done it!
Well done, Maria.
It is said that every revolution,
after its golden age, knows a fall.
And by a strange twist of fate, the suspicion that, for us
too, that moment had arrived, emerged day by day,
this
moment had arrived, emerged day after day,
like a sad omen.
Doorbell Good morning.
- Are you Mrs Eva Henger?
- Yes, I'm Mrs Eva Henger.
Good morning, we need you to come down to the station.
- Mommy! Mommy!
- Riccardo! Just...
- Who's there?
- He's over there, love.
I have to call the babysitter.
Sorry, we have a warrant.
We found out the police had been investigating us for months.
- The charge?
- Exploitation of prostitution.
- No, I'm totally against that.
- I don't think you understand.
A plainclothes policeman had found girls prostituting themselves
on the premises of Diva Futura. And it wasn't an isolated case.
Schicchi's ideal of free love doesn't
translate well into club nightlife.
- Call my lawyer now!
- Yes! - Call them both!
Searches, equipment seizures, club
closures, have become more and more intense.
- Put these on.
- Let's review.
We've finished. We'll let you know.
Don't put them in the sun.
A very long process began.
In the ten years that followed,
Schicchi was completely ruined.
Don't cry, please. He cried all day long.
Come, I want to show you something. I want you to come with me.
He was kidding himself. He said
they couldn't take away
his freedom and his fantasy...
He even had a bunker built
to keep his art safe.
Rome. Italy. They were full of nightclubs.
Where everything was done.
Yet the only clubs targeted were Mr. Schicchi's.
A veritable relentlessness.
Police siren
The big mistake is to have wanted to revolutionize
the custom in broad daylight. Without doing it in secret.
Inaudible voice
At the umpteenth arrest, I managed to escape.
And from that day on, I never went back
returned to work for Signor Schicchi.
- Mrs. Henger, good morning.
- Good morning, Doctor.
- They've been waiting a long time for us, haven't they?
- Yes, we have.
May I speak to you for a moment in the background?
No. You can also talk to my children here.
- Why should I?
- Yes, please.
Unfortunately, your husband's worsened.
- He's had another stroke.
- Another one?
We've performed all
resuscitation maneuvers, but...
Unfortunately, we weren't
able to save him this time.
But... But what does that mean?
E'... Is Richard alive?
I'm so sorry. I'm afraid we've we've done all we can.
I don't, um... I don't understand.
Is he alive or not? Is he alive?
But I... But I... I wasn't there.
I wasn't there.
- I was...
- I understand perfectly.
I wasn't... I wasn't there.
With my husband. I wasn't there.
Unfortunately, there was no brain activity.
I wasn't... No, because...
He could hear me, he could hear me when I was there.
When I was there, he could hear me and
I spoke to him and he went...
He heard me. He just...
Ma'am, those were conditional movements.
Can I... see Richard?
- May I see my husband?
- I don't think that's appropriate at this time.
I want to see my husband.
Wait here a moment.
- Hello, Richard.
- Look, it's not that we don't want to.
But he's a well-known person.
It would be difficult for the church
to cope with all this commotion.
Besides, we have a wedding in the afternoon.
There will be so many people that I don't know if
the church will be able to accommodate them all.
- Listen, be patient.
- I've already told you.
- I understand.
- It's just not possible.
But how do you explain to Eva that
Riccardo can't have his funeral in a church?
He cared, he took communion in this church.
- Listen to me.
- Look, you keep insisting - and coming here.
That's the offer.
You keep coming back, you keep keep
coming back. But I think I've made myself clear.
Eh...
The priest celebrated mass, despite
the fact that half of Italian porn was there.
But hey, among us sinners, we can find the right dose.
The hardest to refuse.
Riccardo was also late for funeral. He always was.
That day, a lot of people went up to
the pulpit the pulpit to remember my boss.
That lovable bastard.
I said I'd come up too and
tell them who he really was.
I'd tell them that he'd taught me not
to take anything or anyone seriously.
Not even me. Not even life.
Or that he'd confessed to me that he didn't think I was serious.
Not even to get into porn.
That it was a mistake.
That he would continue to photograph Cicciolina
and her flower crowns forever.
But then he regretted telling me.
He had forbidden me to say it
because you never have to justify your choices.
And you have to defend them to the death.
The crowd applauds
I would have told about the time he told me he thought.
He was free.
But in the end, no one is free.
That's why the child
in question is entrusted to the mother
Ilona Staller here.
You're free when you've got nothing to lose.
If you're alone. If you love no one.
But who wants to be alone?
Finally, I said nothing.
To speak would have been like admitting he was gone.
Or maybe I was too shy. As you may have guessed
at the first job interview.
I'll certainly never thank fate
Riccardo Schicchi.
As I was telling him I was preparing a surprise...
He never knew what it was.
Shouts and laughter
- Come on, let's go.
- Miss, hold this.
Have you seen this? Here, the little spikes.
Let's do dicks in a hedge. Don't make that face.
- This is art, an artist made these.
- Hello.
Bear!
Screams
Let's have a contest. But Marcellina
doesn't play, or she wins.
- What's your name?
- Leonardo.
Since the day of the funeral, we all knew
that an era was coming to an end and would never return.
But we also knew that what we had experienced.
. was the most unique thing that could happen in a lifetime.
To this day, when I think of my second family
gives me great strength.
So fragile, so lost. Amoral, but never immoral.
Cheerful, in crisis, hesitant.
But always, always big-hearted.
Indistinct cries
Mademoiselle.
How wonderful.
