CERULLO SHOEMAKERS

SUPERMARKET - KITCHEN WARES

Mamma!

Mamma!

Mamma!

MY BODY IS MINE

FROM NOW ON WE DECIDE

My brother? I haven't seen him in two months.

I don't know where he is. What do you want from me?

Mamma!

Don't ever let go of my hand, is that clear?

EPISODE 5 - TERROR

You know when a man says: "You're mine"?

Yeah!

You know when we reply: "Yeah, I'm yours"?

Yeah!

We are both telling the absolute truth: we are men's property.

When we dare to disobey their rules, they beat us, they kill us!

The time has come to put an end to it.

Never again will we reply: "Yes, I am yours."

Let's learn to be completely and utterly our own.

Our bodies are ours, our heads are ours!

You are yours, shout it out!

I am mine!

I have the power!

I am mine and I have the power!

To the male comrades who are here today,

I want to say, very politely...

Go away!

The square is ours!

Out! The square is ours!

Go away!

WOMEN'S LIBERATION MOVEMENT

- Stop, it's unacceptable! - We're here to help you.

Tremble in fear, the witches are here!

Tremble in fear, the witches are here!

Don't run away again!

Don't you run away again.

Sit down for a moment.

Hold Elsa.

Let's go.

You don't take two small children to a demonstration!

Mariarosa was supposed to come too.

I wanted her to see Dede and Elsa but she missed her train.

Forget about my sister!

She's the last person you can count on.

Anyway, there were other kids.

Everyone takes their kids to demonstrations.

If everyone does something stupid, it's still stupid.

You were even sick.

- That's not true. - Yes, it is.

It's very true.

Anyway, that's enough,

I'll go where I want and take my daughters where I want.

I'm not your third daughter and you're neither my father nor my boss.

But I am Dede and Elsa's father!

You hear me?

And I'm also your husband.

I worry because I care about you.

You had so many interests once.

You're not writing novels, or for the papers, nothing.

You read, but it's only superficial reading.

You risk losing yourself.

WE SPIT ON HEGEL - THE CLITORAL WOMAN AND THE VAGINAL WOMAN

You don't care about my reading and my work.

You just want me to be an affectionate mother and a wife.

You're already boring

and now you want to teach me what to read, what to risk.

You get it.

Hello?

Yes, she's here.

It's for you!

Go and check on the pasta.

I'm going.

- Hello? - Lenù, it's Carmela.

- Carmela, how are you? - Not good, Lenù.

That's why I called. They killed Gino.

How did it happen?

They shot him at the pharmacy.

The police came to the gas pump.

They were following leads, they think Pasquale's involved.

But I haven't seen him in months.

- Has he come to see you? - No.

Why?

A while back he asked for your phone number and address.

If you know anything, tell me.

I don't know anything, I swear.

You think I wouldn't tell you?

In the neighborhood it's war, comrades gotta watch their backs.

The fascists even threatened me and my husband.

They say that Pasquale set fire to the MSI branch office

and the Solaras' supermarket.

And what do you think?

I'm scared.

Pasquale is at the top of the fascists' list.

I'm scared they'll kill him.

- Have you asked the police for help? - No.

They're more fascist than the fascists.

If you hear anything, please call me.

Sure.

Say hello to your husband.

And give the girls a kiss from me.

Take care.

Hello?

It's me.

Lenù, what's up?

Carmela called me.

- She told me they killed Gino. - I heard.

You know they pinned it on Pasquale?

Of course they took it out on Pasquale.

I'm sure it wasn't him, but even if it was, I'm on his side.

What?

The cops should take it out on the dead guy,

he only ever did bad things.

Not on a communist worker.

Lila, Carmela's beside herself.

She said the fascists want to see Pasquale dead,

they blame him for torching the Solaras' supermarket.

Carmela's always beside herself.

But why did she call you?

Pasquale needed my advice

and asked for my number.

Anyway, let's change the subject.

I would have called you.

I wanted to ask you...

Can I leave Gennaro with you until school starts?

Why?

I have to work.

I have to take the girls to the beach.

Can't you take him too?

I'm going to Viareggio.

I hardly know the boy, only if you come too.

You promised you'd look after him.

If you were ill.

Who says I'm not ill?

Are you ill?

No.

Why not leave him with Stefano or your mother?

Will you do me this favor or not?

All right.

Bring him to me.

Enzo will bring him.

Thank you, take care.

Are you coming to eat?

The Brescia bombing...

- Pietro! - What is it?

Eight people have been killed and over a hundred wounded.

Here is a dramatic recording of the moment of the attack

and the ensuing moments in Piazza della Loggia.

Stay calm!

Stay calm!

Do not leave the square!

The police are cordoning off the square.

Do not leave the square!

Do not leave the square!

Workers!

Do not leave the square!

The police!

Good morning.

Does Elena Greco live here?

Yes.

Can you tell her Pasquale and Nadia are here?

Elena!

Pasquale and Nadia are here.

Come in.

Hi.

I nearly didn't recognize you.

Hi, Nadia.

What are you doing here?

Traveling.

Come in.

- Nice to meet you, I'm Pietro. - Sorry, I didn't introduce you.

This is Pietro.

- Hi, Pietro. - Hi.

Have you come for the demonstration?

Demonstrations are just a waste of time.

Have you come from Naples?

No, we were in the area.

Are you going back?

No.

So tell me, how are you?

Good. We're...

Yes.

Dede, come here. These are two friends of mine.

She's Nadia and he's Pasquale.

Pasquale and I have been friends since we were little.

- Weren't there two? - One's sleeping upstairs.

Upstairs...

- In a terrorist's pocket... - Leave it!

..was found a map of the locations...

Turn it down.

I haven't seen you for ages and we're going to watch TV?

The roadblocks have been reinforced.

Concerning the traffic flow for the summer exodus,

the authorities anticipate traffic delays exiting the cities

on all major highways and ask citizens...

Turn it off.

We were about to eat.

Would you like to eat with us?

Yes?
