Two Women (La ciociara)

Two Women

Bombs! Bombs!

Rosetta!

Rosetta

Oh my god, she's going to die!

Go and get some water!

Rosetta, my child

Will you get me that water!

Ma'am.

Drink up Rosetta, please try and drink.

It's all over now, they've gone. Open your eyes darling.

Look at me, look at mummy.

They've gone my darling. Come on, drink up.

Drink up.

Mummy!

Rosetta!

You see, they've really gone!

Don't cry like that my darling, I can't bear to see you like that

I'm going to take you away from here. Close up the shop and leave Rome.

Just stop crying please sweetheart.

It's really over

They've gone

If I were a man I'd shoot them all.

Assassins!

- Can I pull the blinds up ma'am? - Yes, pull them up.

They're stuck, it's not possible

It's finished Rosetta, we must thank God.

Oh my God

Look at that smoke...

...That's my house!

My home!

Arnaldo?! What's happened?

They hit one of the houses down the street.

And here the cornice over the door fell down.

"His Imperial Majesty has given the Governor of Rome

a relief sum of one million lire"

- Who? The Pope? - Of course not

"His Imperial Majesty has given the Governor of Rome"

"Count Sforza said yesterday in his timely and invigorating talk

which deeply moved the hearts of all Italians

all the people welcomed with dignity and courage

the severe ordeal through which they have been submitted"

"His Holiness, Pius XXII

Sent a telegram to President Roosevelt"

Giovanni.

You have to give me a hand.

I need to take my daughter away.

It'll hold, don't worry

She has a weak heart

She could have died in an instant

- Where will you go? - Anywhere from Rome, away.

Those bastards will be back, you'll see

They don't even respect the Pope.

For the best

At least the war will end sooner.

What? Are you stupid?

With all these dead people?

What's Mussolini doing?

That's what I'd like to know.

That maniac!

He's got to say something.

You women are stupid enough to believe anything.

Before they started bombing us.

Things weren't going badly,

- Yeah, right. - We were earning well.

Sure, sure.

I want to give you the keys to the shop.

Can you just keep an eye on it? Maybe even the house?

If you trust me?

Of course I do.

Let's make a rough inventory.

Buonanno can buy anything that will go bad.

I'm sorry that you're going away.

Why don't you get away?

I don't have the money for it.

It's just going to be for a month, it can't go on longer...

Sure...

Take this to Govelli's, I'll wait for you in an hour.

- Why in an hour? -I said in an hour.

If something had happened to Rosetta I would've murdered someone.

Who would you have killed?

I'm wasting your time.

I'd do anything for you.

I know. You were a true friend to my husband

For that scum I wouldn't have lifted a finger.

Well then you're fake like all the others.

You were like a brother to him!

Stop it! You were by his side day and night...

...But did you love him?

I married him.

But you didn't love him.

You make me sick.

I'd like to see you in my place.

Sleeping with donkeys and chickens.

Eating only once a day.

Somebody comes along with money...

...and says he's taking you to Rome.

I married Rome, not to him.

How can you do that?

To be with an old man.

Don't remind me, may he rest in peace.

Sit down.

He...

He would tell me all about you.

What did he tell you?

- Everything! - Really?

Once, we were fishing...

...he was telling me

how you were built.

He would boast about you.

Then he should've told you that the last two years I slept alone!

So, who were you with then?

Don't be idiotic!

When you've got a daughter to bring up

...You've got other stuff to think about.

So...

You were never in the mood?

That's my business.

Oy! What are you doing?

It's a dead hour.

No one ever comes at this time.

You can close this place up.

But obviously you don't know me.

You like me a little, don't you?

Think about your wife

Oh her

I hope a bomb falls on her...

So I can marry you.

No Giovanni... Don't.

Giovanni stay away!

Giovanni, behave!

- Are you all right? - I could murder you!

Where are you hurt?

A little bit... here.

Here?

Giovannni!

My daughter must never know about this.

Who know's what I'd do

You're regretting it already?

You have to understand that for me, nothing happened.

We are just like before!

Good See you tomorrow.

Don't ever do that again!

You are not my master, I am nobody's property, do you understand?

Thank you for the wine!

Giovanni

Remember to put another lock on the store immediately!

I'll do it straight away!

Ok!

If there's any news,

I'll write to you.

But I won't!

I'm not going to write to you!

I need a whole hour to write just one word.

We just need one word!

Will you be able to come visit? On a Sunday?

I've thought about it.

- Bye! - Bye!

Rosetta

Come and sit.

Mummy, don't they sing well?

Sons of..

Who are you angry at ma'am?

With everyone.

Agh, not me

I'm angry with one person.

With just the one person.

What are they singing about?

As always, something sad.

It's making me feel so melancholic.

You know who has the right to be melancholic?

We Italians.

She was so excited to leave, she barely slept.

Poor love.

What a pig...

What's going on? Where are we?

Who knows!

I can't understand you!

A bomb exploded on the tracks ahead!

I'll walk to Naples then!

It will take us about several hours to fix the tracks.

Maybe a bit longer!

Damn!

You should thank God that the trains are still running!

I'm not thanking anybody, especially not God.

- That's your business sir! - Look at Mount Forcetta.

It's everyone's business

Where's Saint Euphemia? - It's over there.

What's wrong with you?

Can we get down? Lets walk, it will be quicker.

Can we get down please?

Of course!

We're going to have to walk for a long time.

Can you do it?

You know I like walking mummy.

Will you pass my stuff down?

Sure ma'am.

Come on Rosetta.

Where's my sack?

Madam?
