" Gabriele." " Uncle Pinuccio." "Glad you could make it." "Hi, Gabriele." "He seemed so well." "You know, lively as he is." "And then..." "Dad, let's go." "Gabriele!" "Aunt Graziella." " Hello." " He's the son, he's been living in Switzerland for many years." "He's a scientist, as is his wife." "Gabriele, he's looking at you!" "Dad." "Venusio and Pezzetti... are two assholes." "Two assholes." "Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord... let perpetual light shine upon him." "May he rest in peace." "Amen." "A line here, like that for good contrast, then the hands." "The hands are the hardest." "Eh?" "The collar, the arm line." "Let's straighten the hat... the glasses..." " Let's put in a dove as well." " Sure!" "Above Fr." "Paolo's head, also the Holy Spirit with wings." "Now it needs a bit of color." "Excuse me, there you go." "A little chocolate for the cassock..." "And a bit of eggnog for Fr." "Paolo's dove." " I also threw in a few doughnuts." " Put it on the chair." "This is a masterpiece!" "You have to see how he did Fr." "Paolo." "The spitting image!" "Gabriele, take the drawing to those gentlemen." "Look what my daddy did!" " He's an artist." " If I had gone to art school, I wouldn't be here now." "I'm really bad at drawing." " Professor Venusio, lawyer Pezzetti." " Professor, lawyer." " Good morning." " Gabriele, say hello to Gianantonio." " Children, say hello." " Good morning." " Ernesto, what are you doing?" " I came to get pastries." " We also." " Ciccio, the usual tray of pastries." " Certainly, Professor." "What is this?" "Did you do this?" "No, I did it." "Fr." "Paolo is getting a bit senile, and I started doing a little thing for the kid." "I'm always glad to hear your opinion... and that of the Professor, of course." " Does the boy like it?" " I think so." "Well, if the boy likes it!" " Dad, the ice cream!" " Just one scoop." "Did you take Gabriele to see Cézanne?" " Nuccia and Maria Rosa went there twice." " "Cézanne", who?" ""Cézanne", who?" "Rossetti, Paul Cézanne!" "You're obsessed with him!" " Don't you like him anymore?" " Of course I like him." "He is the painter of my life, he is my master." "Don't you know that a beautiful Cézanne painting arrived at Bari Art Gallery?" " "Self-portrait with derby hat"." " I must've missed it." " So much for him being your master." " Ernesto, you have to keep yourself up-to-date." "The Professor wrote a whole page about it in the Gazzetta." "You made a fool of yourself!" "Nuccia, Maria Rosa, come on." "And wipe your boy's face." "Oh, are you crazy?" "Wipe you face, halfwit!" "I made a fool of myself." "Do you know what that guy at the bar said to me?" ""I know that this portrait arrived in Bari and you don't?"" "Ah!" ""The Norman horses, in their barns, were chewing their fodder with a crunching sound"." ""Over there the mare was wild..."" "I've spent my life on Cézanne." "The injection will make you feel better." "Stop!" "The stove!" "Go get some coffee." "Wait!" "Hello?" " Train 362, in two minutes." " "You, who run like the wind..."" "Two minutes, bye, Amatulli." "Are you stupid?" "Today his teacher gave him another punishment." " I'm smoking this and then we're leaving." " You have to study." " "O, you born in the woods amidst the waves..."" " You have an opportunity to do it." "My dad didn't let me study and look what a shitty life I have!" " Please!" " Why?" "Isn't it true?" "I wake up every day at 4 am, put on this crappy jacket... ..and I'm good to go." "Whistle, departure!" "Ernesto!" " Ernesto!" " Mrs. Valeria, my dear!" " What a pleasure!" " Two tickets to Bari." "Are we late?" "Late?" "I won't let your train leave!" " Miss Lo Turco is also here." " Good morning!" " How are you?" " We're in God's hands." " You have to be more optimistic!" " I'm coming to say hello." " Thank you." " The poem." " I know it!" "Then let me hear it." "Mrs. Valeria, you are beautiful." "When are you coming back?" "I don't want to ever come back." "How can I do without you?" "Your friendship is a comfort." "Not to mention that you and your husband are my most loyal buyers." "Forget about my husband!" "He has no sensitivity, all he does is work." "I got married, but it's like I'm a widow." ""O little dappled mare, who carried the man who won't come back"" ""I know, I know you loved him very much..."" "The only thing that binds me to my husband is that." " "That", what?" " "That"!" " Sex!" " Sex!" "Lady Valeria, did you hear about the Cézanne painting?" " Have you been to the opening?" " Sure." " How was it?" "A professor said something, a critic something else..." " What did you think of the painting?" " It looked like one of yours." "You want to flatter me, that's a painting by Cézanne!" "You're good and you know it too!" "She really respects you." " Why don't you show yours?" " Start over." "But I said it right!" "Start over." " My own exhibition?" " It would awake this village of southerners!" "We'll get it up!" "Can I go out to see the train?" "When you know the poem." " Have a good trip!" " See you soon!" "Bye!" "I'm going to talk to them!" " You feel better, right?" " It must be the injection." "And, anyway, I'm not supposed to die for them!" "They have to give me a day off." " To do what?" " I want to go to Bari to see Cézanne." "I'll take the boy with me, and then we'll go to the carnival." " To the carnival?" " Yup." " Hurray!" "We're going to the carnival!" " To the carnival!" " Give me the manager." "Nice landscape, right?" " What color do you think it is?" " Green and brown." "No, there's all kinds of colors." "Look again." "Make an effort!" "White, blue..." " Yellow and violet." " There's also a bit of cobalt... aquamarine, carmine and cardinal red." "Colors are not static, they move, they mingle... in one another, but people don't realize it." "Now I'll show you something beautiful." "Hello!" "Hello!" "Say hello!" "Say hello!" "God bless you!" "I've moved seas and mountains, and, between us, I've kissed an incredible number of asses." "But the result... eh?" "Here." "Director, I can't believe it." "To think that he stood in front of this canvas when it was still blank, he looked at himself in the mirror and mixed the colors...." "I feel like crying." " Daddy, the carnival!" " The kid is bored." "Later." "Director, I'm doing an exhibition... with my best works." "What if I put this painting in the center of the exhibition as a tribute to this great master to whom I have devoted a life?" " Do you want to copy it?" " Yes, director." "You know, this panting..." "This work seems easy, but..." "I can do it." " Daddy, the carnival." " Don't bore your son to death, or he will hate painting more than anything in life." "Let me introduce you to my friend." " Director." " What is it?" " I have to leave at 2pm." " I know, your mother-in-law..." "Because of the pension." " Yup." " Let's run!" " What a lunatic!" "Anna, I want you to meet Gabriele." "Will you keep him some company?" "I'm in my office." "Come here." " Are you also interested in painting?" " No." " Don't you like paintings?" " Not at all." "What do you like?" "The carnival." "I'm going there with my dad." " And what else?" " Girlfriends." " Why?" " We kiss each other." "I only kiss Lucilla." "But she doesn't kiss you back." " Gabriele." " I have to go." "Gabriele!" "Young man..." " Are we going to the carnival now?" " No, or we'll miss the train." " But today we saw something beautiful, right?" " Yes, daddy." "Five meters..." "Let's say one, two, three, four pieces." " Candy, candy..." " I made a precise calculation." " You need 30 or 40 pieces." " We're not talking about cheese!" "With all the material you have at home!" "These are artworks and must be chosen sensibly." "Yes, but the hall of the Tourist Office is big." "Didn't you delegate the organization to me?" "So trust me!" "What do you know about what the Councillor wants to do?" " You sound like a bean pot." "What did you say?" " Nothing." " The Councillor wanted..." " Tonino, what did you just say?" "The Councillor wanted to give the hall to De Mola!" " Spit out the poison you have in your throat." " I've spat it out." "Did you tell the Councillor that De Mola is too young?" " Don't piss me off." " What can I tell him?" "De Mola went to art school..." "And that's what counts in the village!" " Hello." " Hi, Fra!" " Hello, mom." " Hi, Cricket." " Franca, did you hear the latest?" "The Councillor gave De Mola the hall of the Tourist Office." " No, he was going to give it to De Mola." " I have a friend, at the Town Hall, who isn't even able to get me a small room for the exhibition." " What was Paul Cézanne's friend's name?" " Émile Zola." " What's your name?" " Tonino Zucca. (Zucca = pumpkin)" "Neapolitan pumpkin is good for risotto." "Funny!" "Can't you just take care of your son?" " Check this out." " Later." "Come on, have a look!" "I just got back from school and I find the whole house in a mess." " Why don't you go to paint near the stairs?" " All right." " Let's go and wash your face." " Today I got a B." " Really?" " No, a B minus." " What a liar!" " You don't know what my life is like!" " I know." " Go home, it's late." " Bye, Gabriele." " I'm going." " Bye, madam." "Enjoy your meal." "Come on, dry yourself!" "You have to tell the Councillor that the exhibition has been requested... by Valeria Giordano." " What was that?" " Nothing." "Nothing." "Go and call Uncle Pinuccio, we have to eat." "Requested by Donna Valeria Giordano, who's not lower class." "Nice, isn't it?" "It's easy to do with the pen, but to raise the skirt of a young lady is difficult." "It takes real art, not like your father's." " And you can do it?" " What do you mean, "you can do it"?" "Do I look like someone who can't do it?" "Take some candy." " Don't eat them all now, you may need some later." " All right." "Jesus!" "The widow of Pavone." "Cricket, listen to me." "Women are like money:" "the more you have, the more you get." "The less you care about it, the more it sticks to your hands." "I laugh at those who arrange the money in their wallets, like your dad." "See how I keep the money?" "Like this... free." "Smell the perfume." "The bills need to understand that you are their boss, and so do women." "Poor widow Pavone!" "She noticed I was watching her." "Now we won't look at her anymore, we'll pretend we are busy." "Take the broom." "Because we have our own things to do." "We couldn't care less about Mrs widow Pavone." "Be serious, don't laugh!" "Come here." "See?" "She's thinking whether she should enter or not." ""Should I buy here or go somewhere else?"" "She has to come here because we have everything she needs." "Sit over there and act cool." " Good day, Pinuccio." " Good morning, Mrs. Pavone." " What a pleasure!" " What a beautiful boy!" " What's your name?" " Gabriele." " He's my nephew, my sister's son." " You've got so handsome!" " How you've grown!" " Thanks, Mrs. widow Pavone." "What a beautiful child!" "How handsome you've got." "How can I help you?" "In front of the door I thought:" ""Why is my father looking at me that way?"" "He was dressed like in that photo, he was handsome and young." "Dad was a handsome man." "He had been to America twice, to New York." "He had made a lot of money and was a spendthrift." "If he didn't go to his tailor, he wasn't happy." "They called him "Dominic the American", and he would give dollars to anyone." "When he returned to the village, the band was waiting for him." "The amazing thing is that in the dream I didn't remember he was dead." "He came and told me..." ""My daughter, I've brought you someone."" "And who came quietly from behind him?" "Still young, white, beautiful." "Who appeared?" "Mom appeared." "Mom was panting." ""Franca!"" ""What's the matter with you?" "You made me climb all these stairs!"" ""Franca, you forgot about me!"" ""What?", I thought." "I was going to embrace her, but I was so excited... that I woke up." "Gabriele, don't you care?" "Are you listening to me?" "This morning I went to the bathroom and I found this on the shelf." "This morning I found it again on the shelf in the bathroom." " So?" " It's my mother's wedding ring!" "It's she who made me find it again." "So much for a university graduate!" "Gabriele, remember:" "don't believe these things." "Mom, too, spoke with the dead and Aunt Nina talked to her brother." " I wonder what the dream means." " It's so obvious!" "That you'll get married again, maybe." "Or, maybe, that YOU will get married." "And it's about time!" "Me?" "No!" "No way!" " I'm so fine here." " I know." "But maybe you'll be fine somewhere else, too." "The dream speaks clearly." "She made HER find the wedding ring again, not me." "That dream means you have to move out." " I have my sister here." " Your sister is my wife." " We're all a nice family." " Eh, family!" "So I'm not moving out." "And then there is Gabriele, my Cricket." "He should always be close to his uncle." "Listen, you know what we do?" " Let's go to the club." " No, sir!" "Your Cricket needs to do his homework, and you're going to the club alone." "Your brother has to move out." "The boy has slept in our room since he was born." " Why do you have to be his servant?" " I'm not his servant at all!" " My brother is self-supporting." " Sorry, what did you say?" " He's self-supporting." " Repeat it, I need a reminder." "It means he doesn't need anyone." " Everything we eat comes from his store." " He is the one who feeds us." " Why don't you say it to his face?" " There's no talking to someone like that." "You have no sense of irony." "Now what?" "Do you want to grade me, as if you were my teacher?" " What grade did I get?" " You always play the victim!" "Because I'm a victim, that's why!" "My brother has only me, and he'll stay here until he gets married." " He likes to look cool." " Many married men want to look cool." " Sorry, what did you say?" " Many married men want to look cool." " Mom, Dad, I'm leaving." " Franca, you're jealous and that's it!" "Jealous?" "Me?" " Hey, stupid!" " Cretin!" "At a gallop!" "One, two... three!" "Eight, two and ten!" ""I'm washing my hands to make bread for one, two, three..." ""for four, for five, for six, for seven, for eight, for nine..."" "Rocco, you're it!" "It's always me!" "That's not fair!" "Go!" "One, two, three, four, five..." "When I say something, it's not up for debate." "And you shut up!" "Come here." "Got you." "Go, go!" "You rascal!" "If you had fallen under the car, I'd have got into trouble!" " What's your name, you idiot?" " That's Rocco and he's a donkey!" " Come on, let's go to the police!" " Leave me!" "He nearly got us into trouble!" "Dad, there's also Gabriele!" "Gabriele Rossetti." "Are you hurt?" "You say no, but you're covered in blood." " He's barefoot!" " Don't shout." " Here, next to me." " I was telling your dad... that if you keep hanging out with that bad boy, he'll lead you astray." "Besides, you were barefoot!" "Aren't you ashamed?" " It hurts!" " Don't touch it or I'll make you cry!" " He nearly lost an eye." " Take some pastries." " They are from Sant'Antonio." " Cream gives me heartburn." " Say "thank you"." " Thank you, Madam." "Gianantonio is such a good kid." "But we don't know what to do about this brat anymore!" "I'm sorry for your inconvenience." "If us parents don't help each other!" "I always tell my wife:" ""You are lucky!"" ""You can always stay at home and look after Gianantonio."" "It's hard to be mothers, wives, and also teachers." "Right, colleague?" "Especially when you have a husband who, besides being a station-master, a father and a husband, also wants to be a painter." ""He who grabs a lot takes little"." "You know, the need..." "Stop it!" "You, too, are a husband, a father, a French teacher... and an art critic." "What do you mean, Franca?" ""He who can, does."" " The Professor is a great expert." " (whisper) I need to poop." "You're always eating!" "Leave the pastries." "Clean yourself up." "Excuse me, the boy needs to take a number two." " Gabriele, take him to the toilet." " Come on." " And don't fart!" " Get out of here, you sissy." "It's your loss." "An exhibition dedicated to Cézanne!" " It takes courage!" " Cézanne was a primitive... but a "genial" primitive." "If one isn't a genius... one is primitive and that's it!" ""The primitive of Manduria"." "Aside from jokes, colleague... there is genius in that self-portrait at the art galley." "Dear Professor, unfortunately I haven't had the pleasure of seeing it yet." "Are these the paintings you want to exhibit?" "Not all of them, only the best ones." " And I'm also preparing a little surprise." " If it's a surprise, it's a surprise!" "What do you think?" " Thanks for your delightful hospitality," " Sorry again for the inconvenience." " Ernesto, don't worry." "Right, Gennaro?" " Yes." " If it goes wrong with art, there's the railroad." " Excellent bitter, dear colleague." " Give my regards to your family." " Gianantonio!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" " Daddy!" " It's coming from the toilet." "Gabriele." " You scoundrel!" " I won't do it again!" " Stop!" " Mom, he was picking on me!" "I didn't do it on purpose!" " Ernesto, can you be a father?" " I swear, I won't do it again!" "Stop, you scoundrel!" "I'll show you!" "You make me look bad in front of people!" "Come here!" "Stop!" " Help!" " Scoundrel!" "Uncle." " Uncle..." " What is it?" "Wake up, we have to shave." "Go play, Cricket." "Uncle, come on!" "You promised!" " Go away!" " You can't even throw him out of bed with a cannon." " Uncle, wake up!" " Close the window!" "Coffee, it's 7." " Come on!" " Another half an hour." " Mom, Uncle doesn't want to wake up." " We'll take care of that now." "There, there!" "Scratch." "Come on!" "I'll whack you!" "This bed is so uncomfortable!" "This screen is so heavy." " Franca, hand me a shirt." " Yeah." " Put away the socks." "Excellent." "With a sister like your mother, why get married?" " I'd be crazy!" " Give me that." " If you don't get up, he won't get cleaned up." " Last one is a dummy!" "Easy!" "Don't make me angry!" " ♪ When you're near me... ♪ - "My brother is self-supporting"." " Where are the trousers?" " On the dresser." "In favor... and against the grain." "Good!" "Jesus!" "Stop that." "Which one do you like?" "Aunt Melina or Aunt Dora?" " Aunt Melina." " Really?" "I like Aunt Dora, but Aunt Melina..." " Let the boy get out." " We're almost done getting cleaned up." "Don't worry, we like to look... and they like to be looked at." "It's a normal thing." "Good morning." "Now stop looking!" "Yes?" "Director." "I bet you want to have your lunch break three quarters of an hour earlier." "My wife is under the weather and then there is almost no one here." "There's only the painter with his missus and a child." "Go!" "Thank you." "That boor didn't even say hello." "Gabriele, enough with that ball!" "You're driving me crazy!" "Franca, come and see." "Work more on the eyes, especially the right one." "First it was the nose, now it's the eye." "Why don't you just say you don't like it?" "Ernesto, what do you want from me?" "Did you bring me here to make me say it's beautiful?" "If so, you should have come here with some fool." "I'm telling you the truth, so don't complain when you get criticized." "Gabriele, give me that ball." "Your son is such a halfwit." "He even got bored!" "Sit down there and don't move." "Franca, never mind." "You don't like it, fine." "You don't like it." "You're only good at talking to the dead." "Ask Cézanne's ghost how I should make this painting... so I won't get crazy here." "Is this what it's come to?" "Am I the one who forced you to bring me here?" "What's going on?" "Do you want another woman?" "Tell me!" "You're obsessed." "Knock it off, now is not the time." "Don't cry." ""To whom shall I give this baby"?" ""If I give him to the boogeyman..." ""he'll keep him for a whole year."" " Dear friends!" " Director." " Franca, say hello to the director." " Good morning, director." " Are we bothering, disturbing you?" " Why?" "You've been here all morning, how many people have entered?" " Two, to be honest." " Exactly." "The newspapers aren't writing about it anymore." " Let me see what you're doing." " This eye gives me a hard time." "Oh yes?" "It looks like Cézanne did it!" " Really?" " Dear Rossetti, you have all the luck: you're good, and you also have a beautiful wife." " Does that doll have panties?" " Obviously." "Are you wearing them, too?" "Hmm." "Can I see them?" "Idiot!" "I'll give you these." "Madam, Dora, Melina, come on in!" " Are we disturbing you?" " No!" "Where's your husband?" " He'll be right here." " It's hot, isn't it?" " Yes." " What a beautiful blouse!" " Thank you." "Come on, Dino." " He looks like he's looking at us." " Yes, despite my working under the stairway!" "But my wife is right:" "I can't make a mess inside the house." "You should have seen how surprised Prof. Dalò was, when he saw it." "He's an extravagant man." " It's about to start." " We're coming." "In short, Dalò..." "He's an "artist"!" "Yeah, right!" " He has a passion." " Not like you, who are always sleeping." " Who, me?" " Melina, he works hard!" "Good evening, everyone." "I've brought the pizza and some crunchy pasta." " The Director of the art gallery..." " There are the Kessler twins!" " Good evening!" " Good evening, accountant." "He said these words explicitly:" ""Rossetti, this painting seems to have been made by Cézanne!"" " Did he say that, Franca?" " Yes." " Very good." "He meant to say that you are no good and the painting is being made by Cézanne!" "Isn't that true, Gabriele?" " Don't you eat the pastries?" " Silence, it's about to start." "Zucca, turn off the light." "Gabriele, only one." " Ernesto, take him to the dentist." " With everything else I have to do!" "You take him." "From the sound I already knew who it was... and it seemed to me the most natural thing..." "Hello, you left your hat today." "Ah, yes?" " I'm crazy about you, sweetheart." " I'm crazy about you." " Mom!" " What is this scent?" "I don't know, I bought it long ago." "How those two kiss each other." "We should drink champagne, but I have only whiskey." "Do you like it?" "These Nordic women!" "When I was in Germany there were some girls!" "Then again they're called Vikings." "Should we take lessons from them?" "Madam, don't you say anything?" "I met Ingrid in Tübingen." " Soda?" " Just water." "She was so blond that when I brought her to the village... people stopped her in the street to touch her hair." " Dino..." " Eh?" " He's sleeping!" "How many times do you have to tell that?" "Closely against me she started to cry softly..." "Silent, like rain on the window." "Maybe she had stopped thinking about it, but I hadn't." "Yes, because I thought for many years of something like that... even before knowing..." " Faster!" " I can't do it anymore." " Let me smoke." " No!" " What's your name?" " Marina." "Open your mouth." "The frames you used for my paintings are just right." " Come on." " Ouch!" "Did you feel the shot?" "In a minute you won't feel a thing." "Did you hear what the doctor said?" "You're big, you have to learn to endure a bit of pain." "Your wife is really a pretty woman." "Such class!" " Open it." " Mrs. Valeria is from Romagna." "In the North the regions have evolved, we here in southern Italy..." "What did you do to these teeth?" "Have you kissed someone?" "Did your wife tell you I'm doing an exhibition?" "You should write a certificate for me, because I'll have to call in sick." "Open." "What is this?" "A De Mola painting?" " Is his name De Mola?" " Huh?" "Venusio told me that he's an interesting young man." "It's a beautiful painting, Doctor." "Buy him an ice cream when you get out." "Rinse your mouth." "But I have to tell you, Doctor..." "You put up two of my paintings." "If you put the paintings of another painter on this other wall, it'll ruin everything!" " Come to my show and..." " Rossetti!" "We're not at the market, here!" "Close the door and come in." "I'm sorry." "You're right, I was out of line." "What did you do to the boy?" "Gabriele, are you hurt?" "Daddy's darling." " Gabriele is bringing you coffee." " Thank you!" "Sit down, I want you to see something." " How's the tooth?" " It almost doesn't hurt anymore." " Good." "You didn't come to bed!" "This photo is from the time he made the painting." " Is this his wife?" " Yes." " This is his son." " This kid here?" "Sure, he was a model for him." "Look at this harlequin." "The son sat for him when he made it." "He didn't have the money to buy the paints, see how pale his brushwork is?" " Look!" " Stop, or you'll go crazy." " It's perfect." " I know, but it must make Venusio's and Pezzetti's jaws drop." " Do you want to go to sleep now?" " So you don't understand." "I have another sick day, then I'll have to go back to work." "You have to be careful, they could send an inspector." " Jesus!" " Relax, it's Tonino." "I have an appointment, open up." "What is an inspection?" "It's when Dad doesn't go to work, at the station they get pissed off... and send an inspector." " An inspection!" " I knew it!" "I felt it." "Run, Gabriele!" " Quick, get into bed!" " Where is the pajama?" "The pajama is in the first drawer!" "It's not here!" "Gabriele, look in the wardwobe!" "You can't find anything in this house!" " Hurry up, Ernesto!" " I'm getting undressed!" " The syrup!" " On the night stand!" " Where's the nightgown?" " Damn!" "Where is it?" "Over there!" " The scarf!" " Why does a man have to resort to this!" " Ernesto Rossetti?" " Doctor, Dad is very sick." " Come in." " Thank you." "Where's Mom?" "I've told you twenty times that tonight she's staying late at school." "Do you know I'm done?" "It's nicer than the one in the museum." "Do you really mean that?" "You don't know how tired I got." "When you do a nice thing, all the strength goes away." "I'll show you something nobody knows." "Look." " What's that letter?" " "C"." ""C" for "capostazione" (station master)." "There is a very famous painter who is called "Rousseau the Customs Officer"..." "Because he had been a full-time customs officer." "Do you know what they'll call me in 100 years?" ""Rossetti the station master."" "In this village they call me that because they don't consider me an artist." "Instead look what a beautiful thing dad was capable of making." "Come here." " Hello." " Hello, Vince'!" "Hurry up!" "Look who is there." " Ernesto!" " Oh, lawyer!" " There's also Professor Venusio." " Good, good!" " Listen to the good news." " I managed to get, after much negotiation, thirty lines in the Gazzetta... for your exhibition." " He's not happy." " No, I'm happy..." " but it depends on what you'll write." " Discussing among us, making fun of you, so that you can grow artistically, is one thing." " Critique is another." " Don't forget we're friends." "Ernesto, thirty lines in the Gazzetta... are still thirty lines in the Gazzetta!" "You should thank us." " Thank you." " Do your work seriously..." " Gabriele, come on!" "And I will seriously do mine." "What are you doing?" "Helping my brother mounting the decoration." "And you?" " Helping my father carry the paintings." " I found something wonderful." " What?" " There's a place..." " Gabriele, let's go!" "Another time, bye." " "Ad maiora", Rossetti!" " Thank you, lawyer." " My paintings are beautiful, right?" " Yes, Daddy." " Are you sure?" " Yes, Daddy." "Opening of the exhibit "Homage to Cézanne"" "by Ernesto Rossetto (rossetto=lipstick)" "Daddy!" "Are you blind? "Rossetto"!" "What's this, a travesty?" " Even Gabriele noticed it." " That's true." " And you?" " What can I say?" "Sorry!" " I'm speechless." " Even I didn't notice it." "Think how you can grade papers, then!" "Ernesto, stop it!" "Rossetto, Rossetti... who'd even notice?" "Let's get a move on, I still have to do the invitations." " Cézanne is on that wall?" " Yes, Madam." "On this one there should be a landscape that makes a contrast." " Good idea, I agree." " Zucca, please." " I'm the one who has to agree." " Do you agree?" " Gabriele, get the snowy huts." " Yes." "Rossetto!" "I don't want to think about it!" " These ones?" " Yes." "Put them on that wall, let's see." "Get on the chair and hang the painting." " I'll do it, he's short." " He's better at it than you two." "Put the chair in the middle and stand on it." "So we can see Zucca's great idea." "A bit lower... too much." "Put it a little bit higher." "All right, let's put in the nail." "Mr Rossetto?" "Rossetto, may I come in?" " Mrs. Valeria, what a pleasure!" "What a beautiful dress!" " Thank you!" " Miss Lo Turco." " Good morning." " Who pulled that prank on you?" "You can't pay attention to everything, that's why." "Hello." "Hello." " Are we disturbing you?" " No, why?" "You're the one who inspired everything." "How beautiful here!" " Beautiful, right?" " It's beautiful, it's beautiful." " Right." " What are you hiding here?" "No, Mrs. Valeria!" "A secret!" " It's the most important piece of the show." " You don't know anything?" " I know everything, I'm his wife." " Wives are always the last to know." "I learned that from my husband." "Poor daughter!" "Tell Gabriele to put down the painting or he'll get tired." "Put it down." "Just a minute, kid." "Would you like to put this picture here?" "The snowy huts... yes." "This place is provincial enough, don't put the snowy huts at the entrance." "Sorry, but I say what I think." "Here we need something powerful, something that has character... something that stands out." "Not this one, it's too ordinary." "This one is too small for that wall." "Here, this red house!" "Beautiful, isn't it?" "Will you show us, kid?" "Red is my favorite color, it's the color of passion!" " What do you think?" " Just what we needed." "Yes, it looks good." "It looks good, doesn't it, Franca?" "Gabriele, move it to the left." "Excuse me, to the left." "No, Gabriele." "To the left!" "I tell him "to the left" and he moves it to the right." "He gets confused in front of people." " Move the picture more to the left." " That is the left!" "Gabriele, more to the right!" "Your dad is confused." "Not to the right!" " What have you done, you moron?" " I didn't do it on purpose." "Get off!" "Look at what this moron has done!" " Come and give me a hand." " No, you take care of it." "I'm taking the boy home." "He's bothering you here." "If you need anything, ask the ladies, since they are so kind!" " When I grow up, I'll slap dad." " Are you stupid?" "Don't you dare say such a thing." "Otherwise I'll slap you." ""Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners," ""now and at the hour of death." "Amen." ""Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee." ""Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." ""Holy Mary, Mother of God..."" "I couldn't sleep so I went to get some coffee." "As soon as I'm in the kitchen, I see my father sitting at the table." " Smoking a cigarette." " Give me the shirt." "Here it is." ""Dad," I say, "do you want some coffee?"" "But he didn't answer, he just kept quiet, smoking." "Then I put the pot on the stove." "At some point he gets up, caresses me... and says, "I'm sorry, my daughter..."" ""but in this house the coffee is tasteless."" " "I'll get it in the town square."" " Give me the belt." "He put the cigarette pack in his pocket and left." "Aren't you ready yet?" "Give me the tie, it's late!" " Here it is." " I meant the red one." " The red one?" " Yes, ma'am." "Gabriele, your shirt." " How does it look?" " I have no taste, right?" "Besides, red is not my color." "Gabriele, wipe your shoes off." " Excuse me, what do you mean?" " Nothing." " Do you think I'm stupid?" "You've moaned constantly for a week!" " You've become bitter!" " Yes, I am bitter." "Do you think I didn't understand the thing about the coffee?" "If you see your father again, tell him the coffee in this house is good." " It's excellent!" " All right." " It's good, Franca!" "It's good!" "Understand?" "It's good!" "Sometimes your mother seems crazy." "Now you'll see if the coffee is good!" "No use looking at me like that." "The coffee didn't come out of the pot this morning." "The gasket is burnt." "This coffee pot is ruined!" " You don't let me live." " Calm down, come on." "Don't touch me." "You're making too much of this." "Go play in the other room." "Come on, go play." "You're making too much of this, they're all fantasies." "Close the door." "Close the door!" "Did you come to visit me?" "Uncle, can I come with you?" " Don't you have to go to the exhibition?" " No." "Then you'll come with me to Molfetta to pick up a friend." "I have to take her to the store to show her the luxury goods." " Are you going to get married, too, someday?" " I'm not crazy!" "Don't you see how your father and mother are?" "Not even with Dora?" "With no one." "Come here." "Why don't we move out and live on our own?" "I bet your dad pissed you off, right?" "He's like a balloon." "Do you know what you have to do?" "Take it and deflate it." " Gabriele, let's go." " I'm busy now." " We'll be late for Dad's exhibition." " I'm going to Molfetta with Uncle." "Forget about it." " Pinuccio, will you please stop it?" " I haven't done anything." " Uncle!" "Don't be angry with me, Mom and Dad have made peace." "How fool you are!" "Here's the jacket." " Come on." "We're ready." " Look, I'll give you this." "Buy yourself something good." "What do you have to do?" "Good evening, Marshal." "Remember the exhibition." " Doctor, the exhibition!" " I'll be there!" " Look, there's the surveyor." " Carolina, take your dad to the exhibition." "All right." "We'll see you there in an hour." " Feel how my heart is beating." " Mine too." "Now don't start fantasizing." "Mrs. Valeria is a buyer." "She and her husband only have to buy the paintings." "Where do you want to go?" "London?" "Paris?" "Saint-Tropez?" " You're a rogue!" " And you're a queen!" "The other day the woman in the red dress looked like a Rossana toffee!" "Can we go get some cotton candy?" " After dad's exhibition." " Let's go." " If the mayor doesn't come, I'll be pissed." " Tonino says he's coming, trust him." "I hope everyone received their invitation." "I've organized it perfectly." "He has organized it perfectly!" " Dear madam!" " Good evening, accountant!" "My respects, Doctor." "Good evening, ma'am." " Welcome, ma'am." " Best of luck." " Same to you." "Congratulations, it's a wonderful evening." " It's also thanks to you." " I've managed to get this curmudgeon out." " Good evening!" " Good evening, lawyer." "Good evening." "This beautiful lady says you've prepared a surprise for us." " He's secretive to get us to buy." " And you?" "Gennaro and I will make sure you are not ripped off." "Thank you." " I know a kid who..." " He's also your age." " Bye!" " He's afraid!" "Gabriele!" " Do you still eat kids' stuff?" " No." "Take a drag, come on." " Are you afraid?" " No." " Smoke it!" "Good." "Now you smoke it." "What did you have to tell me the other day?" " Mayor, this is the artist." " Dear Rossetti." " What a pleasure!" " My wife." " Lovely lady." " Mayor, let's cut it." " That's what I'm here for." " Professor Dalò isn't here yet." " He's not an important person." " Let's cut it." " Here, mayor." " Venusio, when you write, remember the First Citizen." " Sure." " Don't move or we'll fall down." " You're such a daddy's boy." " You're a daddy's boy!" " Be careful or we will really fall!" " Rossetti, I'm really curious." " I hope I don't disappoint you." " Will there be enough sparkling wine?" " Yes, don't worry." "I have to say I really like it." " I like it." " Yes." "The flowers over there." "It's very interesting." " Congratulations." " Thank you." "I, too, really like this one." "Now you'll show us what's hidden under here." "Hush!" "Hurry up!" "Just a few words, my friends." "As you know, this exhibition is a tribute to Paul Cézanne." "Rocco, are you serious?" "I've found my way in Cézanne." "It was not easy, especially for those who had to encourage me, support me, and put up with me." "I'd like to thank my partner, Tonino Zucca, to whom we owe this perfect organization." "Thank you." "So come on!" "Better not, or everybody gets pissed off." "And then the muse who inspired all of this." "My wife." "Without you, Franca, I wouldn't get anywhere." "How beautiful!" "Well done!" "Move over, I'll do it." "And my son Gabriele who is surely up to some sort of trouble." " Won't it kill us?" " No, it won't." "And now, judge for yourself." "Experiment succeeded!" "(speaking French)" "I have to take care of everything." "No, love, I'd rather you stayed with the girls." "I'm coming back anyway." "I've got the convention." "We were different." "No, no, nothing." "I'll rest a little now." "I'll talk to you later." ""We are fearfully dripping our pen in the ink of critique" ""to describe what we saw, the other night, in the hall of the Tourist Office," ""which has generously been made available by mayor Emilio Lo Grande." ""There, Ernesto Rossetti, a stationmaster by profession,"" ""but also an amateur painter, has exposed some thirty canvases,"" ""calling them, with the arrogance of the naive, a 'homage to Cézanne'." ""Let's just say that it's a terrible tribute." ""Rossetti resorts to the manner of the great master from across the Alps"" ""to justify the monotony of his subjects and his inexperienced execution." ""But the worst came when he showed us a copy of..." ""the admirable 'Self-portrait with derby hat'."" " Go on." " How many times do we have to read this crap?" "Read, I said." ""At that point, his arrogance became palpable." ""We saw a dull palette, a cadaverous skin tone..." ""pupils that were like balls of lead..." ""to the point that the Almighty couldn't take it anymore and cut off the power." ""So the darkness swallowed..." ""Ernesto Rossetti's rudimentary exercises."" " My whole life is a failure." " What are you saying?" "What about your son?" "What about me?" "Have you heard what he said?" "The Almighty who cut the power..." "Sir!" " Yes?" " A ticket to Matera." "Thank you." "Holy Mary!" "Dad, it's my fault." "Daddy." " Daddy." " I swear on our son:" "if I run into Venusio, I'll tell him:" ""Thank you, Professor." "Thank you!"... and then I'll spit in his face." "And I'll kick lawyer Pezzetti's ass." "Fuck you all!" "Fuck you!" "Why have you done this to me?" "That asshole, that piece of shit!" "Gabriele, go home." "Tell the neighbour to cook." "Fuck you!" "Ernesto, that's enough!" " All this chagrin for an asshole!" " All for the pleasure of Professor Pezzetti..." "Fuck him!" "Hey." " Uncle, where are we going?" " To visit someone." "Remember: make me look good." "I promise." " Let's go." " Ernesto?" " He's not coming." " Why?" " He says he doesn't feel like it." "Gabriele!" "Ernesto!" "Sorry, I can't come." "I have a bad stomach ache." "Your stomach ache will pass." "But if you don't come today, my sadness won't go away." "You, Franca and Gabriele are all I have." "Especially you, who could be my father." " What do you mean, "your father"?" " Okay, my big brother." "That's something else." "Make me look like a man who has a family." " Pinuccio..." " Come!" "It's not possible, I'm sorry." "I have a heaviness that spreads from the stomach." "Ah!" "Feel." "It spreads all the way up to the cervical ribs." "These are terrible symptoms, my father also had them." "His was an inexorable disease." "The painting... again!" "You're still thinking about the painting." "You still don't get it." "They don't give a damn about this self-portrait." "You could even show them "La Gioconda" by Giovanni Pascoli... and they'll still say it's crap." "And do you know why?" "They don't want to give you satisfaction." "They just want to piss you off." "Let's go." "Your dad says he's got the runs." "Give me a break, Ernesto!" "Pinuccio!" ""One bed, four fir boards, one wool mattress..."" ""ten new chairs, seven sheets..."" ""sixteen pillowcases, five towels and five tablecloths."" ""In addition to the house in Molfetta," ""my niece owns a six-hectare vineyard." ""My niece's assets are 700 American dollars," ""350 Canadian dollars..." ""not counting the value of the house."" " Mr. Gaetano, we understand." "For that matter, my brother has a very successful shop." " And we thank God." " We are sorry that..." "We are a close family, we've been together for so long." "This is so sudden..." "Because there's an urgency, right?" "In this cases... just the time to do the paperwork." " Pino?" " No, thanks." "Take it and don't be shy." " Thank you, Madam." " No, Gabrielino." "From now on you shouldn't call her Madam, you should call her aunt Graziella." "Now that we get married, you should be the ring-bearer." "What a beautiful child!" " A "boccolotto"?" " Thanks, Graziella." "I made these myself." " You're an excellent pastry chef." " Thank you!" "If we were supposed to keep quiet, I could have helped Graziella with the new house." "What are we doing here?" "You're always with that cigarette and I wanted to eat pasta." "The kid is drinking a soda." "You're really weird!" " Hello, Franca." " Hello, Tonino." " Hello, Gabriele." " Hello." "That asshole didn't even greet me!" "That evening you treated him as if he had caused the blackout." "He was the guy in charge." "You can't be always at war with everyone." "There are Venusio and Pezzetti." " Yes, I saw them." " Let's get up and go." " No, wait a minute." " Oh, Jesus!" "Wait a moment." "Dear Mrs. Valeria!" "Lawyer, dear Professor, can I offer you something?" " No, thanks." " You deserve a monument for what you do for culture." " Mrs. Valeria, you are organizing De Mola's exhibition." " Tie your shoe." "I want to be invited to the inauguration of that young man's show." "I have to run." "See you, Professor." " Donato, I'm going." " I'll come with you." " No, sir." "I need to have a word with the lawyer and the Professor." "See you." "Don't think I haven't read your critique." "I hadn't yet had a chance to tell you, but..." "I've looked at those paintings a thousand times and you're right." "Well that Cezanne..." "it wasn't quite right." "The cadaverous skin tone, the lips are... what did you write?" "Bloodless." "And the eyes are balls of lead." "Professor!" "Congratulations, stationmaster." "Finally we've found someone who recognizes the function of criticism." " Good." " The Professor writes well." "Not that there was no disappointment but I realized where I was wrong." " The kid has to do his homework." " We're busy as well." "Now we are all going." " I want to tell you something else." " Ouch!" "I was considering... doing that Cézanne again... with your permission." "Rossetti, you said you've understood, but you haven't understood anything." "Forget about it, you're not up to it." "Think more about the family." "Yes, but... you can give me another chance." "This time I'm on Rossetti's side." "What's the use of criticism if you don't give him another chance?" "Professor..." "Stop it." "Okay, Rossetti." "But be careful." "If you waste my time again," "I'll be unforgiving." "Colleague." " Thank you, Professor." " If he gets angry..." "See you, Professor!" "Bye, lawyer!" "Thank you, lawyer!" "Bye." "They treat you like that and you even thank them!" "If you start over with that painting again, I'll take the kid and leave!" "Take the kid and leave, then!" "You should have seen how your father was when I met him." "He worked at the ticket office, but it was like he was the Railway boss for me." "Do you know what he said to me?" "If you don't mind, Lady," "I would like to offer you this trip." "I only needed to look at him to understand he wasn't just any man." " And you're like him." " Dad is mean." "No, he isn't." "Sometimes things are different than they seem to be." "Everything will be all right." " Will you get some water?" " Yes, Mum." "Hey!" "Hey kid!" "Kid!" "Come!" "Gabriele!" "My husband is no longer himself." " Here's the groom!" " Oh, Virgin Mary!" " Madam!" " Nice, nice!" "You look like Clark Gable!" " Yes, sure!" " You're done being a rooster!" " Do you remember the dream I had?" "It meant you had to get married." " In heaven everyone will cry." " They're not thinking about us." " Let's do a little dance." " Careful with the dress!" "I feel like a dancer!" " My sister!" " Where's Dora?" "Mom, where's Dora?" "Dora!" "Pinuccio, Pinuccio..." "Gabriele, what are you doing?" "We have to go to church." "Why are you crying?" "Don't forget that your family is me and your mother." "Who do you love more?" "Me or your uncle?" "Me or your uncle?" "I don't want to know, let's go." " What is it, Gabriele?" " Can I sleep in my own bed?" "Your bed is that of Uncle Pinuccio now." " Learn to sleep alone." " Go to sleep." " Good night, little one!" " Good night." " What are you going to do in Bari?" " Boring stuff." "I have to meet the management." " I'll take the kid." " He has to go to school!" "He'll go to school tomorrow." "He should spend more time with his father." " It's time for us to become friends." " Are we going to the museum?" " No more being with Uncle all the time!" " Are you going to the museum again?" " No, I've been there many times." " Why are you putting on that coat?" " I don't feel well." " Why are you going to Bari, then?" "What a nuisance you are!" "I have some influenza, I need my scarf and I can't find it." "Let's see if it's in here." "Can you help me take off the smock?" "Anna is a special girl, and she has traveled a lot." "Besides, she's really a pretty blonde." "You like Nordic girls!" "You want to see her again, right?" " And what's this gentleman's name?" " Professor Venusio." "Who is he?" "An important person, he's considered a new critic." "Sorry, I had written down that I had to come... but then I forgot to." "If you had come, maybe he wouldn't have written what he wrote." " He's a big mouth like the others." " Could be." "But I'm making the painting again." "He wrote that the colors came out lifeless." " I need to understand, director!" " Look at you, you're exhausted!" "It's because of the influenza!" " Director, I'm not crazy." " I didn't say you're crazy." "You're making it again?" "Good!" "The more you study, the more you learn." "I'll be here as long as the picture is not coming out as it should." " My son's here for your granddaughter." " Daddy!" "He can't sleep at night because of her!" "Gabriele, come here." "Your dad has the sensitivity of a goat." "Let's see if our friend is back from school." "Anna, come here!" "Look whom I brought you!" "I brought you Gabriele!" "Go play because your grandfather has to work." "Want to see the museum?" "I like this one." "Did you bring candy?" "Don't you want to see my panties?" "I want to kiss you." "Gabriele!" "Gabriele, where are you?" "Gabriele!" "Gabriele!" " I am here!" " What were you doing?" " Nothing." " Get your coat, you always leave things around." "We'll tell mom that we went to the carnival." "Then, when it's your birthday, I'll give you a nice present." "Did you invite Gianantonio?" " Seven years old!" "You're growing up!" " Eight, Dad!" "Eight?" "Then you are old!" " Hey, Rossetti!" " Arcieri!" " How are you?" "Everything okay?" " I have a bit of influenza." " Is this your son?" " Yes." " How you've grown!" " Say hello, Gabriele." "Everything changes, Rossetti." "Only the railways never change." "I'll claim compensation, because my sciatica is work-related." " It's the union that doesn't work." " They are scroungers." "I'm going to retire, I'm not going to die because of them!" "Servant!" "Servant!" " Where is my servant?" " Here I am, master." "Tell my wife to come right here." " Arianna, your husband wants you." " My husband scares me!" " Help me get away." " Of course." "As soon as my servant comes back, I'll cut his head with this knife." "You're scaring the shit out of me!" "Children, the cake!" "Come, quick!" "Blow out the candles!" "Easy, easy!" " Easy, easy!" " Step aside." "Gabriele, wait." " Where's Ernesto?" " That's right, the master!" "Ernesto!" "Here I am!" " Good morning, Professor." " Rossetti." " We are about to blow out the candles!" " Only two minutes." "It seems a great opportunity, we're all gathered here." " Good morning, lawyer." " It's the kid's party." " Don't worry." "This is not the time." " I wanted to show you something." " It's the kid's party." "We must be careful, it's still wet." "Well?" " Virgin Mary, how beautiful!" " Hush, mom." "Professor." "What do you think?" "Come on." "He's good." "It's better." "It's softer, smoother." "However, the eyes, for example, had come out better in the other copy." "Rossetti, you gave yourself an impossible task." "To you, it looks the same as the original, right?" "This is your limit, Rossetti." "You're an instinctive man, you see Cézanne's nose and copy it." "You see his eyes and you copy them, but do you know what you can't see?" "The air." " You don't see the air." " The air." "And since you don't see it, you'll never be able to do that mouth." "You'll never be able to paint that look." "Cézanne's colors are what they are... because he put some air between his self-portrait" "and you, who are looking at it." "In your portrait, instead, there's no air." "So your colors are dull and those of Cézanne are vivid." "It is inimitable." "Jesus, what an explanation!" "I hadn't realized that before." "Thank you, Gennaro." "Darling, look: we're here with the cake." "Gabriele will make a wish." "Franca, let me talk to him." "So you're saying that I've failed." "That I've done something that resembles Cézanne..." " but it's not identical." " Didn't you hear the Professor?" "There's no air, that face isn't breathing!" "The Professor explained it so well." "You are right." "It's not identical, but I'll tell you why." "Because this one is better." "Professor, you can do that gesture all you want, but mine is better!" "I've made it better, much better!" " So?" " Ernesto, that's enough." "You don't see it because you have a prejudice." " You have a nice character!" " What character would I have?" "Presumptuous." "So I would be presumptuous." "What about you?" "The air, the colors... inimitable!" "Words, Professor!" "Words to fool the imbeciles!" " Franca, cut the cake, your husband isn't thinking straight today." " Yes." "He has made you feel important, and now you think you're a big shot." "Mrs. Pezzetti, how sad!" "Your husband is fooling around with that cocotte in front of your children!" " What are you saying?" " Your husband treats you like dirt and you act like a cocotte." " That's what Cézanne would call you." " Ernesto, watch your language." "Be thankful we are in your house and not ours!" "We'd better go." "So you're leaving?" "No, I'm the one who is throwing your asses out!" "He's a womanizer and now he's got his pregnant wife!" " Go away!" " What's the matter?" "Are you sick?" "Enough!" "I'll never paint anymore." "I'll never paint anymore!" " It's all my father's fault!" " Stop!" ""You have to be a railway man" and now I am a railway man!" "That asshole destroyed my life!" " Ernesto, please!" " You agree with them!" "The critics!" "Professor Venusio, my ass!" "Professor Venusio, my ass!" "A painter is born only three or four times in 500 years!" " Enough!" " This is a madhouse!" "Go away!" "Get the fuck out!" "Enough!" "And here I'm a prisoner in this shitty village!" "A prisoner!" "I won't paint anymore!" "Get out!" "Get out of here!" "Never again!" "Never again!" "I'll never paint again!" "Not this one." "I don't want to be like my dad." "I don't want to be like my dad." "I don't want to be like my dad, I don't want to be like my dad." "I don't want to be like my dad." "Kids, don't get too close, or you'll trigger the alarm." " Director, I'll be back with the drafts of the catalog next week." " I look forward to it." " Excuse me." " Please." "Long ago, there was a small painting of Cézanne... but now I can't find it anymore." "A Cézanne painting..." "I wish!" "But I remember it perfectly." "We are in the province, we don't have much..." " Come on!" " Here I am!" " How was school today?" " We learned how to conjugate verbs." " But I prefer to draw." " Anna!" "A fake." "A fake that fooled everyone for 10 years, even my grandfather." " We're going to the museum!" " The truth came out by accident." "Why are you putting on that coat?" "A student was working on it for his thesis, and noticed that the colors... were not those of Cézanne's time." "My grandfather was very disappointed and made a big deal out of it." "He was a scholar of a certain fame, he had published important essays." "This wing of the house is exactly as it was." "Do you know who this gentleman is?" "We were your age when we met." "That painting had become a real obsession for him, to the point he brought it home and put it there, in this sort of little personal museum." "Let's see if our friend is back from school." "It's really well made." "Fuck you!" "Then one morning, before he died," "I found him sitting on this armchair," "He had the painting on his knees." "He was staring at it and laughing out loud." "I wonder what he had seen in it!" " My condolences." " I'm so sorry." "Compliments on your shoes." "Rocco!" " How are you?" " I saw you on television." "I'm sorry about your father." "Thank you." " Tonino!" " Gabriele." "My boy!" " I always loved your dad." " I know." "When we were young, we felt like Paul Cézanne and Émile Zola." "That was the only moment of my life... where I felt important." "Give me a kiss." "Gabriele, do you remember?" "Lawyer Pezzetti." " And here is Professor Venusio." " Gabriele." " Professor." " My daughters, Nuccia and Maria Rosa." " My condolences." " Gianantonio, the Professor's son." " Our condolences." " Thank you." " Have you offered your condolences to your friend?" " Yes, Dad." "My condolences, too." "How unfortunate!" "You've come a long way!" "You had a father worthy of you, he was also good at painting." "It's true!" " It's a pity that he gave it up later." " Do you know what his problem was?" "He couldn't take criticism." "It's pointless to talk about it, he knows how his father was." "What do I need to know about my father?" "Do you want to argue with those two assholes?" "Dad!" "Sorry, Dad!" "I hadn't understood anything." "Did Mom not know, either?" "Kids boast, a man doesn't." "Pinuccio!" "Come on!" "We can't keep the store closed all day." "Vito, help me." "Eh, Vito..." " Do you remember that time your dad did the exhibition?" " Yes." "My dear wife... must be thankful that, when the lights went out that day, I got her pregnant, otherwise she wouldn't be my wife now." "Let's go." "I have to catch up with your mother." "Mom..." "I'll say hello to her for you." "I have to close now!" "Ah!" "Do you know what I was thinking?" "I should start painting again." "No?" "Maybe." "Subtitles by Subransu"
