The Minor (La minorenne)

Valeria?

Doctor Selmi is a wonderful man. You can trust him.

Get ready! The other girls are already dressed.

I'll wait for you downstairs.

Valeria Sanna!

Hurry up! Doctor Selmi has no time to waste!

Get undressed!

Valeria Sanna. Hmm.

Let's see.

Well? What are you waiting for? Get undressed!

Come here!

Lie here!

Get up.

Breathe.

All right. Lie down.

Take off your panties.

Stop!

No!

Ah! Not!

No! No! No!

No! No! No! No!

I'll catch you! You'll see, I will catch you!

No, you won't!

Hurry up, Angela, catch me! Come on, catch me!

Come on, get up. You couldn't get me.

Let me catch my breath. My chest is burning.

How soft is your skin, Valeria.

It must be beautiful to love someone, and be loved.

Were you ever in love?

No. With whom? The gardener, doctor Selmi?

You could love anybody, don't you think? The important thing is to love someone.

I don't know. Maybe. I don't know.

Sister Angela!

Turn in right away!

You'll explain later your behaviour!

As for you, be careful: if I happen to find you behaving like this again,

I'll tell your parents right away! Do you understand?

Valeria? Valeria!

Valeria, stop dreaming! You're always daydreaming!

Come on, let go back inside.

My bags are packed. How about yours?

Not yet.

Are you impatient to go home?

I'm impatient to meet Federico, and to make love to him.

Do you like to make love?

There's nothing... more beautiful... in the world. I think.

You'll see. It will happen to you too.

It will have to be wonderful.

It will be beautiful. Count on it.

Valeria?

Valeria Sanna, as we consign to you this diploma that brings to an end

an extremely important period of your ethical and cultural upbringing,

I wish to remind you a deep truth:

school shapes the destiny of human beings, discipline determines it,

knowledge makes it bright. But as there is no

real knowledge without faith making it strong,

your knowledge, led to completeness in this institute,

under the loving and motherly guide of its teachers,

cannot but reflect the most enlightened purity

of sentiments and the soundest Christian ethics.

Soon you will face the world, and everything taught to you will render you able

to comply with your future duties as a bride and a mother with deep, steadfast morals.

A mind free of impure thoughts is a luminous vision of

the long road to travel, pursuantly to the moral law.

One day, not long ago, your mother too received

from our same hands the acknowledgement of a

achieved and full moral maturity. Thus I hope that

fulfilling your duties you will be worthy enough

of the prestige of this institute, as well as the bright

example set by your mother and your family every day.

Dad!

Valeria!

Let me look at you! You become a beautiful girl.

It's been a while since we last met, isn't it?

To what do I owe this surprise?

What surprise?

Weren't you due tomorrow?

No way! I even sent you a telegram!

Really? Maybe your mother made a date mix-up.

Anyway, the important thing is you're here with us.

Is mom inside?

Ehm..no. Of course, she could not imagine you being here early, I mean today.

Anyway, Carlotta will take care of everything, wont' you, Carlotta?

Gladly, sir. Well, then, you have to forgive me.

I have a very important meeting at the factory, and I can't miss it. I'll see you later, ok?

Carlotta will accompany you to your room, and she'll take care of everything. Bye, honey.

See you tonight, then!

Bye!

Come, miss!

This was your bedroom before you went to the boarding school, wasn't it?

Do you want me to help you unpack your bag?

It doesn't matter. You can go.

Oh! Oh! I'm so sorry! I'm so...

Hey! Who the heck are you?

Is this the way you get into my bathroom?

This is my bathroom, and that is my bedroom.

And I will not leave unless you tell me who you are.

Your sister, moron!

Wait, wait! You must be that hipless flat chested pimply faced fright!

Check this out! You're a piece of ass to die for!

Couldn't you clean up your words?

Alright, sister! I'll behave!

Still, some ass you got... Lorenzo!

Ok, I'll rephrase, sister. Buttocks.

Did all of you look like this at the boarding school?

Do you know where's mom?

She's always busy on Thursday's.

Busy with what?

Funnier things than wasting time with you.

Go to hell, idiot!

We are all really happy to have you back here among us.

Aren't we, Massimo?

What? Oh, yes, sure!

Our little child.

Whom, in the meantime, has grown up a bit, apparently.

Exactly! Often parents have a personal impression of their children.

I guess you have lots of thing to tell us about.

Balderdash! Young people does not talk with their parents.

It's a way of defending their personality, I guess.

Valeria has no secrets for me. Isn't it true, honey?

No. I don't think so.

I believe she does have some, instead, and it's her right.

Intimacy has its limits.

The use of hands at the table has its limits too!

Could you pass the salad?

I hope you're glad you found your room just like you left it before going to the boarding school.

It used to be your favorite haven.

As you can see, nothing has changed here.

Where are you going? Lunch is not over yet!

May I take your car, Dad?

The keys are on the shelf.

If he were my son, I'll slap his face!

Please, Carlo. He's just a boy.

He's just a thug!

There you go. Thank you.

Do you want anything? No. You know I don't drink.

As I was saying, I read the report of your accountant.

It's garbage. The guy is useless. Fire him.

But he's been working for me for twelve years!

Business is no place for feelings. He's incompetent. Fire him!

You know, dear, I think we should be closer.

You're a woman, how, and | have a lot of question for you.

Oh, forgetful me! I didn't even ask how did your exams go. Fine!

Oh, I'm sorry for interrupting! Sorry for barging in! It got late 'cause the lecture started early.

So hello. I'll say hello to you later. Hi to the both of you!

Why...who's this girl?

Uncle, this is Valeria! Valeria? Valeria who?

But.. Valeria... Valeria, your niece!

Ah! Valeria! Valeria, the niece! Yeah, I heard that.

But...werent' you at the boarding school?

Yes, uncle, but she's back now. You know, the Sisters of Christ...

Ah, the Sisters of Christ! Yes, excellent, excellent religious order, isn't it? (Christian)

A strong christian discipline and no funny business!

God bless you! But, see, there's no time. Because today, it't Pro Civitate...that's what I was saying

50th anniversary! We can't be late! Don't make me waste late (sic)

You're always in the way!

You stay here, you're fine here. I need to speak to you instead.

Whenever you like! No, I told you already, you can call me by my first name.

Yes! Under the condition, obviously, that you open up your wallet!

Yes, because the magazine has to increase its circulation.

Well, actually we increased it five months ago...

So? We'll increase it again! We'll increase it! Of course we'll increase it!

He's saying he'll increase it! Do you want ahteism to choke us?

He wants ahteism to choke us.

Listen, son, I reserved a little spot for you up in the sky that...you'll see!

Stop prettying yourself up! Let's move! Let's go? Are you coming or what?

Pro Civitate cannot wait! Let's go! Bye honey!

Move ahead! Let's get out together...

Does a a real sense of family still exist, congressman?

No doubt about it! The family institution is the strongest core upon which our nation lays its foundation.

Citizens can find in it a complete fulfilment and the achievement of every goal...

Hello?

Guess who, gorgeous?

How could you forget?

Who is it? Hello?

So it's true! You're nothing but a whore!

I should have known since the day I met you!

What a stupid prank! I don't know you! What do you want?

I do know you, instead, all too well. I even know

you have a mole... just below your belly button!

But...how the heck do you know.. hello?

Who's speaking? Hello?

It's me, your brother. Move your behind, wherever you are, and join us.

The gang wants to meet you.

I was sleeping, idiot. Leave me alone!

Don't be a drag, come on. We're waiting for you.

Go to hell!

Quiet! Be very quiet!

Let's get in from the backdoor! Shut up!

No! Not the girls! Why?

Because I said so! Well, at least leave whisky here!

Easy, guys! Show me the money! No cards or free tickets, got it?

These sum up to 80.000.

You still owe me 40.000 Lire, ok?

I'd rather cut off my balls than play poker again with you!

You know the way. Make a noise and you're out! Understood?

Sir.

Come on! Turn on the light and take off your clothes!

Do I take off everything? Everything!

You are like Daring Gordon! He too makes Vanessa strip naked in "The return of the rapist"!
