Caramella, where is the Marshall?
He went to say goodbye to the midwife.
He didn't have enough with the first midwife who had a child.
Now we have to deal with that piece of...
- Give me that. - Thank you.
To think that at my age I have to move!
You'll find a husband.
I could have had plenty of men, if I wanted.
Are you really leaving? When will we see you again?
At God's will. Keep me in your prayers.
Saint Rocco, travel with us, defend us,
protect us and free us from every danger
and every plague.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Let me kiss your hand, Father. - Where's the Marshall?
He went to say goodbye to the midwife. She ruined him.
- She ruined him! - Calm!
You want to keep arguing? Didn't you have enough?
That shameless woman ruined him!
- She ruined him! - Enough!
If it wasn't for that coquette, he would still be working.
Here he comes.
Enough, I'm not a politician.
- He's not the same dressed normal. - He looks dumb.
- Thank you for everything. - Is it true that you retired?
No, we military people don't retire, we get discharged.
After 30 years, I deserve a little rest.
Dear Don Emidio.
- Can I? - Of course.
You were more than a friend to me, I won't forget you.
You're too good.
When you get to Sorrento, don't start all over again.
No more romance.
For me, at this point...
You always say "It's too late" and then you start again.
- Safe travels. - Thank you for everything.
Thank you.
I leave you with this phrase I come up with just now.
Just a few lines...
Farewell, beautiful Sagliena.
I carry in my heart many dear memories.
Dear mountains, I return to the sea,
but I won't forget you, yeah.
You're such a poet!
What would our lives be without a little bit of poetry?
May the Virgin Mary be with you.
Thank you and goodbye.
Goodbye everyone.
- How much? - 100 lira.
If you get sad over every carabiniere that you see, you'll get sick.
What can I do? That was my life, my everything.
- You must start a new life. - At my age...
- Have faith. - Faith is for the weak, they say.
Let's sit down, Caramella.
Caramella, I was very selfish in taking you with me.
- Don't even think about it. - Tickets, please.
I was...
Be strong, Marshall.
Don't call me like that anymore.
All right, but you be strong anyway.
You're going back to your hometown
and the town of Sorrento gave you a great honor
of naming you head of the municipal guards.
Please, don't call them municipal guards
- but metropolitan. - Metrotulipan...
- Metropolitan. - Isn't municipal guard the same?
No, I'd never lead them, but the metropolitan guards, yes.
How insistent!
Take your mind off, look at the beautiful sea.
Look at Mount Vesuvius, it used to have smoke coming out.
- Now the volcano is inactive. - Even that retired.
Raise your head. Look at what paradise I was born into.
With one hand you get a lemon and the other one an orange.
- A lemon! - Later. Take your mind off.
- See? That's Capri. - Who is he?
The island of dreams and love.
Oh, my...
No. Procida.
- After Procida there's Ischia. - Thank you.
- You want to see Sorrento? - Yes, Sorrento.
- No, Swedish. - We are family.
I don't understand.
They used to call my father
"the Swedish man".
- Was your father Swedish? - No, just his nickname.
My father was very nice
and liked the Swedish girls who used to come to Sorrento.
- I don't understand you. - That's better!
Here we are.
- Goodbye. - Sir Antonio Carotenuto.
Stand up, Caramella. I brought you to heaven.
And what will you do here?
Let's go.
- Caramella! - I don't need a hotel!
- Welcome. - Thank you.
- Did you recognize me? - Of course.
Hello!
- Did you recognize me? - Of course.
- Give me your luggage. - Good job.
- Matteo! - Tonino!
- My brother! - You're beautiful.
- You too. - No, I'm old.
- Us Carotenuto, we stay young. - You will always be a young man.
- Get the Commander's luggage. - Yes, Don Matteo.
This is Don Matteo, my brother.
He raised me. Matteo, this is Caramella.
- Nice to meet you. - She raised me.
- I don't know how to express... - Please...
How handsome!
The Commander's luggage.
She's a little bad tempered but I couldn't leave her.
- Stop or I'll leave! - You'd have the guts to do it?
- We are done. - We can go.
- Let's go. - How beautiful is Sorrento!
Are you Antonio Carotenuto?
- At your command. - Thank you. I'll pray for you.
- How cute! - Why did he ask me this?
- Someone sent him. - Who?
- Donna Sofia. - Who is she? What does she want?
- She wants to live in your house. - My tenant!
The one you wrote me about? My stubborn tenant?
No, I need the house. Donna Sofia must give up.
- At your orders. - Let's go.
Fresh fish! You won't find a fresher fish!
Fresh red mullet!
Get a red mullet!
Eat fish that's still alive, don't eat rotten fish.
We have fresh fish, you won't find a fresher fish!
I smell fish but I can't see its weight.
Here for the same weight, we give you more fish.
Embalmed fresh fish, resuscitated fresh fish!
Donna Carmela,
first I'll resuscitate you and then I'll kill you again.
- What do you want? - Sofia, stay out of this.
- Let me be. - All right.
The merry widow can't be confused.
Donna Cramela! Yes, I'm a widow,
and you too, but with an alive husband!
- She told me I'm a bad woman! - Calm down!
Come! Come!
We have fresh fish, you won't find any better!
- Did you get hurt? - No.
- You shouldn't have. - No one can touch you.
- What? - He arrived.
Here.
- You're in charge. - Don't worry.
Fresh fish, red mullet!
Here she comes. Donna Sofia, your tenant.
Careful, she is capable of tricking God Himself!
Stop! Don Matteo, I kiss your hand.
- Don Antonio, excuse me if I dared. - We'll talk about it tomorrow.
As you wish. Accept these little things I caught myself.
- A welcome that tastes like the sea. - As if I accepted it.
You offend me.
- We'll talk tomorrow, my good woman. - You call me "good woman"?
I didn't think I was offending you.
I come here with such abundance and you were so cold.
Donna Sofia, enough.
We have more to talk.
I just came to welcome Don Antonio.
How nice are you!
If you think my brother is nice...
Yes, despite that cold welcome he gave me.
Then, leave the apartment you occupied during the war.
I'm homeless and my brother had to find me a temporary housing.
But I'm a poor widow.
- A widow? - Let's not start with this now.
Widow, yes. Poor, no. You can have all the houses that you want.
- I found you more than one. - I need a house by the sea.
- Me too. - See?
You lost the trial. Either you leave or we'll evict you.
I know that your heart is petrified.
But your brother won't leave me homeless.
Don Antonio, I'm alone, I have no protection,
I live working all day long.
I see you and in my heart I feel that... How can I say it?
You're uncapable, impotent...
to hurt a poor girl like me. You're not a gentleman,
- you're a saint! - Who are you trying to trick?
- My brother is tired. - We'll talk again.
- Of course. I'm at your service. - Thank you. Another time.
- Let's go. - Go.
Don't make me desperate
or I'll kill myself.
Fresh fish! What abundance!
Take some vitamins! Seafood, love food!
- Food of the heart. - That is food of deception.
- What are you doing tonight? - Whatever I want.
That's what I want too. A perfect match.
- Fresh fish! - Sofia!
- Red mullet. Still alive. - Sofia!
Would you like to go to the Queen Giovanna's baths?
- I proposed the first time there. - Let me work.
I love you very much but you don't think about me.
I don't and I don't want to think about you.
- You have nothing better to do? - Tell me that you care for me.
Not today. Tomorrow, maybe.
Just a little bit. I'm like a child.
I just want a little kiss or even a smile.
You never had kisses or smiles?
Yes, but you're stingy and bossy, you know.
No one can rule me, I need to get prayed.
I'll light a candle for you then. Take care, Sofia.
Bye.
Red mullet, still alive!
Here we are.
I think I'm dreaming! The air of home.
- I feel like I'm getting younger. - You'd end up in trouble again!
Come here.
Clean your ears and listen to me.
You're about to set foot in the house of someone very respectable.
- You wrote me about it. - It's better to repeat it.
Tell the lady that we'll be there soon.
This very distinguished person lives alone.
She has a spotless house and a spotless soul.
- She'll guest you to please me. - Obviously.
And because you're going there with Caramella.
She won't charge you to thank me
because I helped her as I could
to come out of a serious love crisis.
- Love crisis? - Behave like a perfect gentleman.
- But I am one! - I don't want an unkept promise.
- What's left? - The guitar.
Careful with that.
You must promise me that here you will behave
as it's expected of a person of your age...
that is soon to start a job in the public field
and has a brother who is a priest.
- You treat me like a child. - I know you well.
I'm a new man now, life has nothing to offer anymore.
I let myself live, I'm disappointed, I'm detached.
- It's not true. - Maybe soon I'll take a decision...
I'm thinking about retiring into a hermitage.
- Yes, yes... - Sure, when I'll become a nun!
It bothers me that you find such topics amusing!
- She's waiting. - Let's go.
- How much? - 500 lira.
Don't lose sight of him, especially when he's home.
Don't worry.
- Keep me informed. - I'll come to Mass every morning.
Come in.
You go first.
This is Caramella and he is my brother.
- Sir Antonio Carotenuto. - Lady Violante Ruotolo.
- Are you from Naples too? - No, my mother is Swiss,
my father is from Naples, unfortunately.
- Please, use the rugs. - The rugs.
What is this? Jesus, Joseph and Saint Mary...
Please...
Excuse me...
Come in.
This is the living room.
It's so shiny, Mrs...
- Miss. - Miss is a real lady.
- She is a perfect christian. - It shows.
- This is the lady's room. - Miss!
Sorry. This is your room.
Come.
What a nice room!
She even thought about the kneeling stool.
- I hope that... - I know my devotee's duties.
Thank you
for thinking not just of the comforts of the body
- but also at those of the soul. - Those rugs...
- Thank you. - It's my duty.
- Is that a closet? - No, a closed door.
- It opens to my room. - Sorry.
- Tonino, come see. - Excuse me.
- Look at this view! - And the sea?
I came here to Sorrento to be close to the sea.
Did you see the orange orchard?
Orange trees are beautiful, but I haven't seen the sea in years.
Be patient, Tonino.
- Once you'll have your house back... - My house...
We'll have to clean your house once that seductress is gone.
Excuse me.
- Is she really a seductress? - Indeed.
- Stay away from her. - Of course.
- Let me take care of this. - You have my consent.
What a change! You look like a servant in the royal house.
That's the last time I'll wear it. I won't go out like this.
You look fine. You're beautiful. Let me see.
Miss Violante is such a lady! And how adorable!
- She is a fervent catholic. - I see you're fond of that lunatic.
Don't offend her. She's noble, she is a rich heiress
- and a real lady. - I will leave within 24 hours.
- Do you know women? - A little bit.
- Look at her well. - She's a sensual pious.
Go, she's waiting for you. She'll offer you some vermouth.
I'll take care of your clothes.
- May I? - Please.
- Do you care for a drink? - A farewell drink.
- That is when you're leaving. - This is the welcome drink, right.
- A little bit of bitter? - Bitter, yes.
I get sweetness in other things.
- Miss Francesca, do you want some? - Francesca?
For 40 years everybody called me Caramella.
I'll call you Caramella too.
- Did you see? - What?
Miss Violante is such a saint
she offered me this closet to put your uniform in.
How nice!
- Why displaying it? - Let me do this.
I want to forget the past
and aim for the future like when I was 20 years old.
As the poet says...
Love, tired human,
life is beautiful and love is sweet.
We'll dine in 15 minutes, as soon as Don Matteo arrives.
What?
- It won't work on this one. - Me? Wasting my time with her?
It's her?
She has a grand piano in her room.
- She plays well. - She isn't the usual midwife.
Even if she was a duchess, I don't like her.
- Because she's out of your reach. - Sometimes you really bother me.
Titino... Titino!
- Titino! - Did you call me?
- I didn't call you. - Pardon my mistake, your highness!
- Titino... - Coming!
- You painted today? - Yesterday I unloaded wood
and today I'm painting the house of Lucia.
Tomorrow, we'll see. That's the life of a poor man like me.
Did you submit the form?
Yes, but for 2 positions as municipal guard there are 200 candidates.
And 50 of them have connections.
- God will do. - He does everything.
- Where are you going? - Downtown.
- You have to see someone? - Are you a policeman?
- Go paint! - Excuse me, your highness!
Titino, I'm leaving.
Do you know the prices?
- And to use the scale? - Yes. For each kilogram
- I can steal up to 200 grams! - Good!
See if you can get to 300!
- Good morning, Don Salvatore. - At your service.
- You stole my heart! - Learn a job.
- Right! - You're so beautiful!
- What lips! - Stay calm.
- Good morning. - Off limits!!
- Pay the toll! - You're so nice!
- Here comes the queen! - How beautiful!
- I'd sing for you! - Your skin is so beautiful!
- Blessed Nicola! - He can only long for her...
Come in.
I'm sorry! I thought it was Caramella.
I apologize.
- There's a woman. - For me?
She wants to see you, but if you care to stay here,
please don't invite anymore woman like that one.
- I didn't invite anyone. - She asks for you.
But I didn't ask for her. Who is she?
- They call her "the braggart". - Who?
- The fishmonger. - Tell her to see my lawyer.
- I did. She said she won't move. - I'm sorry. I'll take care of her.
- What do you want? - Excuse my audacity.
Yesterday you didn't accept my gift, today you can't refuse it.
- Thank you but I can't. - You will grill this.
Serve this with mayonnaise and fry these ones.
- What are these? - Thank you but I can't.
- Why do you slap me? - I'd never slap a woman.
I came here because congeniality is congeniality.
Just ask me and I'll move my furniture in the street.
I argued with your brother,
but it won't happen with you because you're a real gentleman.
- You're the best of men. - You flatter me.
I say the truth. Yesterday, when I met you...
I don't know, I felt something...
Some attraction.
Sit down.
Don Antonio, I don't want to bother you.
Don't even say that! So, you're a widow.
- Don't you see? - It just happened?
- Yes, and I don't have children. - You live alone?
I'm alone.
You must do me the honor of coming to my place, which is your house.
- Of course, whenever you want. - I kept your house well.
I had it cleaned for Easter.
- Come, do me the favor. - Of course.
Can I?
- Somebody rang the bell. - Go answer.
- Is she your wife? - No.
- She's my help. I'm a bachelor. - What are you saying?
- Does it surprise you? - Of course. A man like you...
- Attractive, nice, a gentleman... - I'm a bachelor. I'm alone.
- I kept looking for real love... - How can this be?
Yes. I'm still looking for real love, the kind that fills our lives.
The kind of love that makes us become poets, saints, seamen...
Mr. Seaman, your uniform arrived.
- You enchant women. - You're too kind.
Commander, it's time to go to city hall.
I'm going.
- I won't disturb you any further. - It's my pleasure.
- You'll come to see me? - In an hour?
I'm at your disposal. Goodbye.
- Throw it out! - It's very good fish!
It smells!
Fresh air!
- Miss, I apologize again. - You, you...
- What? - You talk about saints to her!
- I didn't know I was spied on. - I don't spy behind closed doors.
I heard even if I didn't want to because you're loud!
- Maybe. - You talk too much. I care...
- It doesn't look like that. - I care for Don Matteo.
- He is so worried about you. - Do as you please.
Guys, I count on you.
Be patient. He is a pain, he used to be a Carabiniere.
He's coming?
Mr. Mayor, the Commander.
Hygiene is the first thing. Remember.
- Sir Antonio Carotenuto. - Welcome.
Well. Any news?
- What news? - The news of the day.
I didn't read the newspaper yet.
The news of the squad, discipline, sick leave, reports...
- I see. - At ease.
- There's lot to do. - We count on you. I'll introduce you.
- Hygiene. - Traffic.
- Food supply. - Maternity and orphans.
- School. - Entertainment.
Funeral parlors.
- Waste collection. - Tourism.
Flowerbeds and gardens.
Sir!
The town council welcomes you.
Placing you in charge of the town wardens,
we trust your great competence
and your sense of duty.
Let me once again give you my warmest welcome.
- Good. My compliments. - Thank you.
Mr. Mayor and city council,
thank you for your warm welcome.
I also want to thank you for accepting
the proposal that I sent by message from my former residency,
announcing to hire two more officers in the metropolitan warden
of which I'm honored today to take control.
And for accepting to equip our corps
of a full uniform for the recurring events.
Very well.
I will give to my Sorrento
what I gave the Carabinieri corps in more than 30 years
in which I served the king, the duce and the president.
Well said.
- I will try... - What did he say?
I will try to infuse my metropolitans
a sense of great responsibility and dynamism
always paired with military discipline.
With these strong feelings and with all my heart
I say hail to the mayor and hail to Sorrento!
Congratulations!
Miss Sofia!
- What do you want? - You don't come to the shop today?
- I do what I want. - Are you taking a day off?
I do what I want, don't bother me.
You're Antonio Carotenuto.
You don't remember me? Filomena Capena, I knew your mother.
- Yes, I remember. - You're so handsome.
You're too kind. I'm going to see my house.
Go, Miss Sofia awaits.
- Is he going to see Sofia? - Yes, beautiful Sofia.
- Why? - Because.
- She is seeing someone important. - Did you see?
She started to see someone.
The proverb says: "Those who start well..."
- She is above any suspect. - If this makes you happy,
we are happy as well.
- May I? - Who is it?
A friend.
Coming.
Damn!
Commander, what an honor!
You look like the king of Naples.
- It's just a uniform. - Come in.
Finally!
- What? - It's French.
Finally I'm in my house. How many memories!
I see my late mother seated there waiting for my father.
I came to life there.
- Can I? - You're the owner.
My late uncle Nicola.
- After you. - No, after you.
Excuse this mess, but I don't have the femme du chambre.
French?
I speak French because I worked for three years at the Excelsior.
I understood you, but I prefer to speak Neapolitan.
You're right.
- What good smell. Arabian Nights? - No, it's just lavender.
I was born where you sleep.
This makes me happy.
Is he your husband?
- My poor Pasquale. - Life and death.
- The eternal wheel. - You can see him better here.
Yes, more natural. More alive.
How come he died so young and strong?
Destiny.
- Would you like some liquor? - This early?
- I can't say no to you. - I knew that we'd get along.
No one can reason with you... Tell me something.
- Why didn't you remarry? - The mourning will end soon.
- And then? - And then, we'll see.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Good wishes.
I hope that you'll become General of all the municipal wardens
and you'll build a house as big as a royal palace.
- Please sit down. - I prefer to move.
The native air makes me feel strange...
My house...
Don Antonio, I understand you. But put yourself in my shoes.
I was trying to find a way to fix this by living together.
In Rome, Naples, Milan, many owners and tenants
moved in together.
I'd be the most honored and the most happy to move in together
but this isn't the city here. I'm a widow and you're a bachelor.
In less than 24 hours they'd say that I'm your concubine
and all the rest...
- You're sensitive. - You're too kind.
You don't understand my situation.
Do what you want but don't kick me out.
I'd never kick you out.
Smile, when you smile you enchant.
Will you give me an extension?
No... It depends on a lot of things.
Let me think about it, and then we'll see.
- I'm at your service. - I'll pray for you. Always.
- Sorry if I take advantage of you. - Please, do.
- There's a young man... - A suitor.
No, don't think badly. He's jobless, a distant relative of mine.
The son of the sister in law of the cousin of my late father.
He'd like to join the municipal guards.
- To become a metropolitan. - No, just a municipal guard.
- It's called metropolitan now. - It's 200 people for 2 positions.
- The plague of unemployment. - Everybody knows someone but him.
I understand. What's his name?
Nicolino... Pascazio Nicola.
- Yes. - I'll do my best to please you.
Don Antonio, you're a saint!
- You're overwhelming, Sofia! - The windows are all open.
- We'll talk about this later. - Another drink?
Yes.
- Do you want these mussels? - Commander,
- he's the guy I talked you about. - You're...
- Yes. - I'm what?
I told Don Antonio that you filed for that position as a guard.
- Metrotulipan... - Metropolitan.
Yes, I brought all the papers but
I don't stand a chance, I don't know anyone.
Think about doing well on the exams. I'll be the examiner.
- That's better. - I'm leaving.
About the extension I must talk to my brother who co-owns the house.
- Poor me! - Let me take care of this.
Thank you again for the exquisite hospitality.
Farewell, young man.
- Do you want these mussels? - Yes, but then leave.
Go study, the day after tomorrow you have exams.
Don Antonio promised to help you, but if you don't study...
I don't like this Don Antonio.
- Why? - I don't like him.
- I like him. - Do you?
I like his house.
- This, I allow. - You allow? I don't need permission.
Do you understand, young man? Titino, get these mussels.
- I don't need permission either. - That's two of us.
And now leave.
- And now forget this. - What?
- The kiss. - Why did you kiss me then?
- Because I wanted to. - Me too. Let's kiss again.
- Now, thank you and goodbye. - A third time!
You want a kiss for every bingo number!
- Let me win this bingo... - Another time.
- When? - At Christmas! Now go.
Fine, thank you. Are you a Colonel?
That is my villa.
- I am alone. - Alone?
Me and Kitty alone.
I will offer you a drink. In my villa, alone.
A drink... Us alone.
I'm sorry. We will drink tomorrow. The priest needs me.
- Father? - No, bother.
See you tomorrow.
You have been here only a day, and you are already exploring.
- When will you grow up? - What have I done?
You do nothing wrong but you are always in trouble.
- Now even the foreigners. - I just met her.
- What do you mean? - It meant nothing.
Don't speak French to me or you'll make me forget Latin!
Move. Go.
How exaggerate! For a little French!
There is people waiting and I must show you a paper.
Go.
Miss Violante, my respects. Hi, Caramella.
Commander, you are so handsome.
- Don't you think so? - Yes, you look well.
You are too kind.
Do you want to join me? I just celebrated mass.
- Miss Violante, do you want coffee? - I don't drink coffee.
- I'll get a cookie. - You have all the virtues.
Really, all the virtues.
- Want one? - I don't like it.
This is the paper I wanted to show you.
- The eviction. - Wait.
- I told the bailiff already. - Don't rush.
- What do you mean? - Eviction is a terrible act.
Terrible? You couldn't wait to be by the sea.
Yes. But we must do things right.
If Miss Violante will guest me in her beautiful, elegant house.
You can stay as much as you want.
- Let's wait, then. - Thank you.
- You are extremely kind to me. - She is a saint.
- I never doubted it. - I must go. Caramella...
- We have to go. - Stay, you didn't take confession.
And you are going alone? Commander, take her.
- If Miss will do me the honor. - It's fine for me.
Goodbye, Matteo. Goodbye, Caramella.
- What a beautiful couple! - Tonino must settle down.
I've been praying for a long time.
- I know, I know. - He's a lady's man.
I know, it runs in the family. His father...
His grandfather, Sorrento's bull.
How peaceful!
When I see such paradise, I feel like I live in another world,
a world that is so different from ours that is so sinful,
a world in which our soul can elevate into poetry.
- And into prayer. - Prayer and love.
The real love, that nothing asks and nothing awaits.
The love of two twin souls who meet and say:
as long as I'm alive and beyond. This is love, Miss Sofia.
Miss Sofia? My name is Violante!
I'm sorry! I don't know how I did it!
I know! Here is your Miss Sofia.
- In time for your date. - I have no dates.
- Excuse me. - Why do you run away?
You're a tempting devil.
- I was looking for you. - Why?
- Your brother will evict me today. - I told him to suspend it.
- I'll make an agreement with you. - Thank you.
- When can we? - I can't talk with you here.
- I'm at your service. - I'd like to talk in private.
- You're right. - Today, at dusk
could I come to our house and get a cup of coffee?
You honor me, but all the building is talking about your earlier visit.
How sad!
Let's meet at 5 by Queen Giovanna's baths.
A romantic place, away from indiscreet eyes.
- Would you like it? - If you like it.
- That's enough. - You make me feel dizzy.
Don Antonio!
- Goodbye. - My regards.
Commander!
Mr. Mayor needs you.
But I have an errand I'm unable to avoid.
Please, tell the Mayor you didn't find me.
- I count on your discretion. - Why are you wearing this uniform?
What do you care?
Colonel! I'm looking for Kitty.
She ran away. She is in love.
The dog is looking for a dog!
It's love! It's love!
- Can you lend me your binoculars? - Are you looking for Sofia?
- Yes. - There she is.
- Did she go alone? - Alone.
- Why did she go? - A lone woman looks for a lover.
Do you need help?
Not at all! I'll jump to you!
Just saying!
One moment.
One moment... Wait a second.
Don't jump to much!
That's the least for a woman like you.
- Calm down. - You excited me.
Let's stay here, it's so romantic! Everyone becomes a poet here.
With the sea, the sunset and you...
Sweet mermaid...
Sweet mermaid who comes from the sea, let me love thee.
Sweet mermaid on the rock, you are the only one I want.
I want an extension of the rent.
All that you want, but don't ruin this moment of poetry.
- I'll end up in the street. - My word is enough.
What is written lasts longer.
Today we think about my poem and tomorrow about the contract.
Tomorrow we'll write the contract.
Now let's forget...
Sit down.
- Let's dream. - What?
Let's forget everything and live in a dream.
Sweet mermaid who comes from the sea, let me love thee.
- Why didn't you become a poet? - Destiny.
Maybe because I never found a woman to inspire me.
But now, I read my destiny clearly...
You squeeze me...
Even the priests are tourists nowadays.
- Let's go there. - Let's say goodbye.
Wait, these pests will leave.
- Here is perfect. - Don Antonio, there's the mayor.
He was looking for me.
- What a mess! You should better... - I'll leave, but you?
If I come up with you, he'll see me.
He was looking for me for some urgent affair. Go, go.
I'll see you tomorrow, but come to my place. It's better.
- See you tomorrow. - Thank you!
See how beautiful?
Let's get down, so we can admire this extraordinary natural amphitheater.
It's slippery.
Careful or we'll end up in the sea.
- It's an uneven path. - I see.
Slowly... Here we are.
As you can see, in these mirable basin
the ancient roman Pollio Felice built a villa
of which still survive the master walls.
The legend says that Queen Giovanna...
Please, sit down.
She loved this place.
Today it's a delicious refuge for lovers.
- Can you give me a light? - Of course.
- Thank you. - Virgin Mary...
It's too bad that these wonderful waters
are polluted by the cruise ships
and by the city sewers.
I'll take care of this.
- Is everything fine? - Yes.
Were you on the watch?
Where were you?
Who did you slap?
- Where were you? - Wherever I want!
I don't have to tell anyone, especially you!
Behave like this with someone else. You're wrong.
- I was wrong in loving you. - You're right, change.
Careful, here is difficult to climb.
Poor thing... I'll let you in.
Miss...
I saved her!
Thank you! You found her in the sea?
Yes, she almost drowned.
She was going down.
Thank you, my friend. Hurry in, you're wet.
- A drink? - With pleasure.
Bother!
Go. Hurry.
See you tomorrow.
Thank you for Kitty!
What did you do?
- A rescue. - I'm rescuing you
- but I can't continue like this. - Me neither! You're my shadow.
- How do you do it? - You weren't home.
Because you were chasing butterflies!
When will you start living by the rules?
For 30 years I lived under the military rules.
But you're old now.
I feel strong, young, healthy.
- Go to sleep, it's better! - These are my business.
- Do you know what it means? - I don't want to know.
You must know.
It means that the Lord makes stupid those that want to go to perdition.
- It's you! - May it be done by His will.
- Good night, Matteo. - Good night, Tonino.
- Finally! - How is he?
- Go in, Doctor. - The rugs.
- Don Matteo! - Nevermind.
- What happened? - The rugs.
- This way. - What did he do?
- He's sick. - I knew it!
He's very sick. Quiet.
Silence.
- Come in. - What a voice!
- Good morning. - The doctor is here.
How are you feeling?
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- I'm one of the council member. - I remember very well.
- Let's see what do you have. - The ladies are exaggerating.
Last night I felt a little pain between my kidneys...
Today I was so stupid to tell the ladies that I had this little pain.
- No fever. - Let's thank the Virgin Mary.
- There is a slight pain. - Let's see what it could be.
What could it be?
- Yesterday he came home all wet. - He took a bath all dressed?
No, marine adventures.
Nothing special, a simple lumbago.
Bye, darling.
- He can't stand up. - He's stubborn.
- Stubborn. - He's in good health.
Don't tell him or he'll do even more. Thank you, Doctor.
- Don't worry. - We all have to cooperate
- in trying to save him. - We'll do our best.
- You're a saint. - Miss, I'm going to the pharmacy.
- Run, Caramella. - Keep him in bed.
- These rugs! - Goodbye, Miss.
Come in.
- Where is he? - I'm here.
Just a second. Here.
- Are you crazy? Get in bed. - I can't, I'm busy.
- What do you have to do? - Examine the candidates.
- And then at 10... - What?
- An important interview. - Postpone it.
- I can't but thank you. - It's my duty to help the sick.
- You're too kind. - I'm here like a nun.
The good, honest, heroic nurses with the white wings...
A stabbing pain...
Let me do something for you.
- Like what? - A massage.
- With your hands? - Don't say stupid things.
- Get in bed. - Sure.
- Am I hurting you? - No.
- What? - You're tickling me. Go on.
- Am I hurting you? - Very much.
- Let's use the blessed oil. - All right.
- Am I hurting you? - No, you have a lovely hand.
Come on! Have you ever suffered from lumbago?
I got it when I was in service. I suffered to become a Marshall.
Discipline, service, sun, ice, nights, water, stakeout, shots...
Yesterday you did underwater stakeouts and shots?
I fell in the water while I was patrolling the cliffs.
- Were you looking for fishmongers? - I'm under special surveillance.
Half Sorrento saw you yesterday with that fishmonger.
I don't judge people by their social background.
- I look at the feelings. - Right, the feelings!
You think poorly about me, but one day you'll change your mind.
A leopard can't change its spots.
No one is spotless!
- How did it go? - Few hopes.
- Nicolino? - With the commander.
Nicolino doesn't worry because Sofia recommended him.
- How is Sofia involved in this? - The Commander is in love with her.
Yesterday they went to Queen Giovanna's baths.
- What does Nicolino say? - That he was cheated on!
Della Rovere Gennaro.
Let's go to red signs. What is this?
- No throughfare. - For who?
I don't know.
And this?
A trumpet.
Let's go to moral measures.
If you're patrolling the beach and you see a woman wearing a bikini...
What is it?
Two pieces. What do you do?
What should I do? I look at her.
You don't! You fine...
What?
- You write a fine. - To who?
- To the girl wearing a bikini. - And why?
Because it's not permitted to wear it at the beach.
- But she can wear it elsewhere. - You're saying stupid things.
- I'm leaving then. - Don't be insubordinate.
Repeat after me.
I write a fine
to the girl who is wearing a bikini.
- Good job. - Good job.
- I'm coming, Commander. - I'm the commander here.
- Paper... - Good.
- Pen and ink. - When you're done go to the shop.
If Don Antonio won't sign the extension today,
- I won't talk to you again! - He will sign, no worries.
Here he is.
- Sofia, I was hired. - I'm happy for you!
- I'll see you later. - Nicolino, let's go away.
I'm no longer trash.
The Commander told me that I'll have career, salary and social position.
- I know, we'll talk about it later. - May I?
Please, come in.
Nicolino, thank you for the good news. See you later.
- Come. - I hired him because of you.
I'll make a perfect officer out of him.
- I know. - I'm very strict in training.
You were born to command. Here is the paper for the extension.
- And this is the pen. - Absolutely.
Sit down.
- Coffee? - Yes.
- If you could read my heart... - One or two?
Two. If you could read what I feel in my heart...
- I read! - All night I asked myself
- what I am looking for... - The pen?
I'm looking for love, but not just that, also a home, a woman like you.
I've been travelling alone for 30 years.
I'm longing for a family and some children.
- Tell me that I'm not dreaming. - No.
- You're not dreaming. - Are you sincere?
We don't have connections.
He doesn't have a girlfriend with special friends
and goes to swim at the baths!
Enough with these nonsense. I got hired because I studied!
- Sofia gave you lessons! - How poisonous!
Carmela, I give you a lesson right in your face.
Come down if you have the courage!
I come down when I want to.
You don't want to interrupt the meeting with Don Antonio.
- She needs a good beating. - Don't go to her level.
- She insulted me and you. - Just don't care.
I don't. Do you want to sign this extension or not?
I'll sign a thousand extensions and also my will.
- What is mine is yours. - You honor me. Sign.
- I adore you, Sofia. - Who's there?
- Don Peppino. - Who?
- The bailiff. - Come another day.
- I can't. - This isn't the right time for me.
- Open now, or I'll call the police. - Open now.
- I must evict you. - What are you saying?
- You're evicting me? - Yes, this is the eviction order.
Either you go peacefully, or I'll call the police.
- Don Antonio, you betrayed me. - Me? Betraying you?
- You don't have a heart. - What courage!
- Holy Mary! - I wasn't expecting this from you!
- You evict Sofia? - Do you have a dog's heart?
- This is abuse! - It sucks!
- Can you postpone it? - I can't.
- She has until sunset to move out. - Fine. It's enough time.
You'll see how valuable my word of honor is.
Let me pass.
This is the eviction order.
All of you, go!
Out! The show is over. Go.
Why are you crying? The Commander is a man of honor.
He hired me and he will give you the extensions you want.
- Why are you crying? - Don't bother me. Leave.
Dry your beautiful eyes. Don Antonio is at your orders.
Yesterday you went to Queen Giovanna's baths
and where will you go today?
- Is this how you thank me. - Should I hang up your picture?
You know what you are? A liar and a betrayer!
Out!
- The merry widow! - Out!
Do you know what you are?
You are a bad woman!
Good morning, Miss Violante.
Jesus, Joseph, Saint Rocco, have mercy.
Tonino, think about what to do. Think for once in your life.
Do you take me for a fool?
Think about your position, what people would say.
I don't care. I like Sofia.
- She likes me and she'll be mine. - Goodnight!
- I'll marry her. - You're stupid.
Maybe. But I'll marry her.
Come here. Sit down. And Listen.
Reason, Tonino. Run away from Sofia and you won't fall into the abyss.
I like Sofia, she loves me and I love her.
- She's 30 years younger than you. - The heart doesn't get old!
- The heart is not enough for her! - I know what I can do.
She's a sorceress, a mermaid.
- I can square up to 1000 mermaids. - You're just a show off!
- I am what I am. - I know. But my duty...
- I'm not underage! - But your brain is!
Maybe it is, but I won't go back.
Quos Deus perdere vult.
I want to get lost, Matteo. Amen!
- Beautiful Sofia, sit down. - No, thank you.
How beautiful you are!
- Good morning, Commander. - Commander!
- Good morning. - Everything is fixed.
- Thank you! - Come in.
- I must talk to you. - After the lady, wait a moment.
- Come in. - Thank you.
- After you. - Excuse me if I dared coming here.
I revoked my brother's power of attorney and voided the eviction act.
- Sit down. Are you happy? - Thank you.
I told you when I met you. You're a saint!
- My problems aren't over. - What?
I'm a poor widow, I work all day
- and in the evening I'm tired. - I know, you're a great woman.
- You're so beautiful! - Yes.
It suits you.
- I'm sorry I didn't meet you before. - Don't tell me!
- Does it bother you? - It makes me suffer very much.
- Carabinieri for me was everything. - I didn't know that.
This means that you care for me a little bit.
I'm very unlucky, the gossip mongers started to talk.
They will make mine, and I hope your, happiness.
I told my brother that I intend to get engaged to you.
- What did Don Matteo say? - Think about it, take your time.
- But a heart can't be tamed. - You're a man about town.
A widow can either be a concubine or a spouse.
But I'm committed.
Sofia, do you want to marry me?
I hang on your sweet lips
from which must bloom the sweet word "yes".
Sofia Cocozza,
would you like to marry me, Antonio Carotenuto?
- I'll tell you tomorrow. - Why not today?
- My mourning will end. - Consider me your fiancé.
If it pleases you...
Will you come to the party tonight?
- Don't fail to come tonight. - I won't.
- We will have fun! - Let me take care of that.
- Thank you. - Sofia...
- Pascazio Nicola. - Present.
Come.
Give me a minute and they'll take your measurements for the uniform.
No, it doesn't matter.
I renounce the job.
- And the reasons? - You know them better than me.
Wait a second, young man. You can't behave like that.
- I behave like I please. - You don't have the right.
- You owe me a reason. - You know, don't act out.
- I impose you to talk. - You don't impose anything.
- I'll have you arrested. - You want me arrested?
You should be arrested for running after my girlfriend!
You flirt with someone that could be your daughter!
Out of here!
- What are you doing? - Don't touch me!
Don Antonio, I'm poor, I know, I'm jobless.
But it doesn't bother me because I'm an honorable man.
If you cry, your face gets wet and nothing else changes.
- What should I do? - Excuse me, but you're stupid.
- Say what you want, I don't care. - Come here.
Wipe your tears and look at yourself in the mirror.
Uncover yourself!
You looked like a sack! Look, what shoulders!
What arms, what breasts!
You're like Raphael's Venus! Saint Andrew!
- If the commander sees you... - Enough!
You prefer to go downtown or you prefer to dance?
- It's the same. - After you.
- Beautiful Sofia, sit down. - Good evening.
- Please, sing for me. - I don't know any song.
- Are you a fisherman? - No.
- What do you do? - Nothing.
- I'll leave. - Going far?
Very far.
Let's dance this mambo.
- What is mambo? - A Brazilian thing!
Mr. Mayor, look.
- Bravo! - Thank you!
- What a good dancer she is! - He's a good dancer too!
- I'm not a Colonel. - Come to my table.
- We stay here, I'm sorry. - Is she your daughter?
Very beautiful! She looks like you! Right?
- She isn't my daughter. - We are engaged.
Would you like to dance with me, if your fiancée doesn't mind?
- Would you like something? - An ice cream. Ask him.
You served us at the other table.
- If I bother you, I'll leave. - No, you don't.
- Thank you. You're too kind. - My pleasure.
It's better, so we can part ways nicely.
- Don't you even start. - No, it's over.
I want to say goodbye. I'm leaving.
- Where are you going? - To Venezuela.
- When are you leaving? - Tomorrow, from Naples.
- I made a mess! - You're special at making a mess!
- Goodbye and good luck! - Send me the wedding candies!
- What happened? - I stained my dress with ice cream!
- You just need water. - I rather go home.
- I'm tired. - Why? What happened?
I'm tired, the music bothers me and I feel sad.
Maybe because tomorrow is a year that my Pasquale died.
- Rest in peace. - Good night.
- I'll escort you. - No, stay.
I'll take you to the door, and nothing more.
- Stay and have fun. - I can't have fun without you.
- When I'm like this, just let me go. - How are you?
I'm nervous... Take care.
- General... - I'm no longer a General.
Let it go.
- Are you sad? - A little bit.
- I need to think. - I see.
I'm the bother now!
Of course.
- Good night. - Good night.
Commander, there's Pascazio Nicola.
- Should I send him away? - Yes.
Yes, Sir. You must go, he doesn't feel like accepting visitors today.
You must go.
Pascazio Nicola, come.
I came to collect my papers that I gave for the job.
I need them to get a passport.
- Are you leaving? - Yes, to Venezuela.
Right now.
- Here. - Thank you.
- Wait. Do you really want to leave? - Yes.
I did the same stupid thing that you want to do.
For a stupid jealousy I entered the carabinieri and left.
- Do you want to leave too? - Don Antonio, I must leave.
- I care too much for Sofia. - And her?
- Did she care for you before I... - I'll talk to you as in my deathbed.
- Leave death out of this! - Sofia and I were dating.
To keep the house and get me hired, she tricked you.
I knew it well. I was never deceived...
Then I got jealous and offended her,
she got upset and...
- She will forgive you. - I know her, she won't.
Yesterday Titino tried. This morning my aunt went to talk to her.
Nothing. But she's right, I insulted her too much.
She'll forgive me only if I kill myself.
For these extreme case we need an extreme wit.
Sit in my chair. Today is a holiday and it'll be a holiday for you too.
- Take paper and pen... - I never wrote before.
- Never. - I'll dictate to you.
All right.
Adored one... No. My dearest...
No, too pretentious. My Sofia...
Erase "My". It's too tragic. Sofia...
I have unjustly...
"Have": H-a-v-e. Verb!
- Let's sit here. - Why did you bring me here?
You need a distraction.
Do you want a slushy or ice cream?
- Ice cream. - Waiter! Two coffee ice cream!
All right.
- Sofia, good bye! - Commander, take care.
Nicola, have a safe trip.
And don't forget to write.
- Did you say goodbye? - Yesterday evening.
That poor child...
Run!
"I regret the love that was the most beautiful thing."
"You'll never love like this again, you'll call my name in vain."
"Your truly affectionate and unforgettable Nicola."
Good.
Stubborn, huh? That child is stubborn.
It's a pity that he's going to Venezuela.
A tropical place, with poisonous snakes,
savage beasts, spiders this big...
Tropical place, dampness, malaria...
- Too bad for him. - What did he do to you?
- To me? Nothing. - He'll die in that place.
- You should have dissuade him. - Me? Why?
Isn't he a distant relative of yours?
You asked me to give him a job.
I even suspected that you loved him. I was almost jealous of him.
Now he's going to Venezuela where there's malaria.
And amoebas, that don't forgive.
If he'll make it, poor child, he'll be nothing but a human wreck.
He wants to go!
Nicolino, come down!
Don't go, Nicolino! Come down!
Where are you, Nicolino?
Nicolino, where are you? Come.
Come down.
Nicolino, come down.
Here is Nicolino.
What are you looking at? What do you want?
Don't touch me, don't speak.
I don't what to see you again. Go away!
- Come on. - Go away!
- What are you doing? - What should I do?
Run.
- It's useless. - Listen to me. Go.
Run.
Go.
I must apologize to you.
- Why? - I thought you were a useless man.
I'm actually a good man, right?
- Take care. - Bye!
Today, for the first time, you have done a good deed.
I'm proud of you.
- Tell me, Dear. - Which it the most severe order?
- Why this question? - Curiosity.
Well, there are...
Certosini, and even more, the Trappisti's friers.
They never speak but to say: "Remember that you must die."
- Frappisti... - Trappisti.
They dig their grave every day...
Good evening.
- Good night, Matteo. - Good night, Tonino.
Holy night...
Brother, remember that you must die.
Brother, go to sleep.
To be or not to be, this is the question.
When you'll sleep forgotten
under the fat soil...
Wonderful...
What a smell! Is it lavender?
No, it's Arabian Nights!
Do you know: "The Virgin's Prayer"?
Of course, since I was a child.
Would you like to play it together?
Violante! Violante!
- Antonio... Antonio! - Violante!
Tonino!
Matteo, leave me alone!
THE END
