" Has he changed his mind?" " Sorry, but why didn't you tell me?" "His Honor said that he told you already." "Sir, what should I do?" "Should I come?" "No, no, stay there." "Eventually I call you back." "But how?" "Last night he was calm, he was going to sleep." " What could have happened?" " Nothing, don't you worry, Anna."

"We are all ears." "Well, Enrico is well and greets everyone." "And you'll be happy to know that he'll return to his roles in a few days." " How many?" " I do not know for sure." "Doctors talk of a few days, you know, with the usual caution in these cases." "Then why doesn't he give interviews?" "If he doesn't, he will induce the suspicion for something serious." "Firstly, for understandable privacy reasons." "And there is an extremely lucid political assessment, that is, images of his hospitalization may suggest a party in bad health." "Things move differently from the way you intellectuals see them, Bottini" "For me this illness is an unexpected gift." "Then I ask you, why don't we use it?" "People love human factor, gossip." "They even love shit, Francesco, it doesn't mean you ought to give it to them" "I say we have to talk directly with him." "Meanwhile we make him feel our affection, and then perhaps... it is better to deal with him about the public opinion question, isn't it?" " Let's call him?" "!" "What do you say?" " Yes, I call him." "No, let me call him." "I'm not in, I cannot answer" "It is perfectly useless to leave messages" "Too much stress, too many ambushes" " You'll see, he'll call you." " I doubt it."

"If you like to follow me." "Thanks" "Mister President." "It seems to me things are not very clear" "Is he really sick?" "Sure, it is a minor operation" "A trifle...which will have no consequences." "Then why all this mystery?" "I know Oliveri since he went into politics and..." "Right now the country cannot afford inactivity by the opposition." "There are those who cannot wait to take advantage of the situation." "The Secretary is aware of that, I assure you it is only a matter of days." "An unexpected condition imposed few days of hospitalization... to have a health check-up to MP Enrico Oliveri..." "Secretary of main opposition party."

"See those houses over there?" "I am seeking Professor Ernani" "Pardon, who is seeking him?" "It's a long story, a private and personal matter." "I am sorry, but the professor is not at home." "It's about his brother, Enrico" "Is he dead?" "No, no, no, no my God!" "I am sorry, it wasn't my intention to scare you." "Why should I get scared?" "Excuse me, can we get inside?" "Can we talk?" "If you like..." "Please." "Leave it open." "As you can see, I am not ready to receive." "You like books?" "Take it, take it!" "At first it will seem a little tough." "But then, little by little, even one like you can succeed to understand it." " Take it." " Thank you." "Excuse me professor, I wish to ask you..." "If we talk, there is a small restaurant just ten minutes from here." "It's good food." "This time at the clinic dinner was over." "Any dinner tonight?" "Not hungry." "Poor him, tell him to come." "He cannot stay locked in the room!" "He can come whenever he likes, he is not locked up." "Maybe He found his ideal condition." "At night he could go out and get some air." "And why not during the day?" "He is a person a bit special, nobody knows he is In Paris, someone could recognize him." "Why?" "Who is he?" "An Italian politician, very important." " Like Hollande or Sarkozy?" " Like Obama!" "I am Mung, please to meet you, take a sit." " Sit down." " I do not want to intrude." "I finished my medicine drugs." "If you could tell me of a chemist open..." "No problem, I can even go myself, and it might be more prudent" "No." "I'd rather walk a little." "I don't think there is any particular risk at night." "I go with him, I like having some fresh air." "Thanks, very kind." "Professor, I do not know how you can help us" "Your brother must have asked someone for a place to stay" "Certainly someone outside your circle." "However... it's very difficult to enter his head." "Enrico never managed to be truly himself." "I am sorry" "Your Honor!" "I'm glad you've recovered." "Do you mind if we exchange a few words?" "Maybe a little interview." "Obviously, before publication, I will let you review it!" " Please." " Thank you." "And that gray hair..." "Is it due to your recent illness?" "It is a message to Italians:" "be honest, stop dying yourself!" "Evelina, in a few days he will be home." "Andrea, but there is no margin left!" "The doctor has advised for a few days of rest." "Your voters do not have many reason to rejoice." "I read harsh criticism on your blog and the party's." "My voters are right to be tired of me." "Me too I often get tired of them!" "Perhaps, sir, I better do not write this." "No, no, no..." "What's more, write this as well:" "If politicians are mediocre is because their electors are mediocre." "And if they are thieves, it is because their electors are thieves..." "Or they would like to be." "You should immediately contact him, right?" "You know I'm the only one he has confidence with!" "Andrea?" "There is always something to uncover in the past of someone powerful." "Someone powerful can always... be crucified at the right moment." "Fear is the music of democracy!" "Fear?" "Someone powerful tries to challenge it." "He has the illusion to tame it and in the end he's attracted by it." "For this reason there is no western democracy that can do without Secret Services." "And it is exactly for that very reason that politicians sooner or later try to fake their own biography." "Lookalikes, copies, fakes" "In parliament there isn't a single jerk who knows to be one." "And now, please let me eat in peace." "I do not know how to thank you, I hope I have not bothered you much." "No problem." "Excuse me" "What the fuck illness did he have?" "He seems different!" "This interview is a bomb!" "He fell right into the trap!" "I have not done this game for years." "When young, my brother and I exchanged each other often." "I could imitate him without being discovered, he couldn't." "What's the name of that journalist?" "Arrighi, from Corriere della Sera." "You don't mind if an article comes out, do you?" "It may even be useful." "What's up?" "Did he show up?" "Not exactly." "Maybe I found a solution, but you must agree too." "Yes, I'm in." "And you know why?" "To bother him." "But I warn you, you are putting the party in the hands of a madman." "He maybe mad, but he's got method." "And above all he's funny." "Pleasure, Giovanni Ernani." "Anna Oliveri." "Are you going to show him the house...." "the room?" "Can I leave you two alone?" "Excuse me." "If you like, I was thinking of letting you stay here..." "Come on, my dear, let's be more friendly." "That's your cupboard." "As you see..." "Enrico has taken almost nothing." "Here are his glasses." " Did I scare you?" " So identical to him." "Yes, I can be if I want." " Any service personnel?" " A house maid comes for a few hours." "Your brother does not like having people at home." "I do not mind." "Perhaps It might be better to ask her to stay all day." "Do you leave him here?" "I can't take him with me!" "I would not have time." "I can't deal with his problems while I am working." "In short, I'm not his babysitter!" "But he is here for you!" "You know, you are one of the filmmakers I love most." " Danielle told me that." " Really?" "I would have never thought of having a fan among Italian politicians." "Maybe I'm the exception to the rule." "In reality politics and cinema are not so far away." "They are worlds in which deception and genius coexist." "And it's often difficult to distinguish." "Here we are." "Sir, this drug does not exist in France," "I can find a similar one" "But you should specify to me the pathology it was prescribed for." "You suffer from depression, don't you?" "Yes, he suffers from depression." "I'm feeling..." "This piano is mine" "You know it?" " No, I don't." " Your husband never learnt." "I know, I have never seen him play." " I apologize for waking you up." " Never mind." " Hello sir, is His Honor back?" " Of course!" "That's better." "Welcome back Your Honor." "We can go." "Here it is the interview." "Ah, really?" "Oliveri:" "Fear is the music of democracy." "I don't like the picture, it doesn't look like me at all." "No." "The interview is extraordinary, it's great, really." "Hegel used to say that reading newspapers is layman's prayer." "Right!" "A real shit!" "I never read them." "LEMIDAL (antipsychotic)" "They will ask a number of questions." "They want to know what you had." "Try to stick to what we have established." "What should I talk about?" "This is the speech, just read it." "It is a forum organized by the Faculty of Economics." "There will be plenty of youngsters." "Will talk an economist, a unionist and one of those journalists who know everything and do not understand a thing." "And besides, there will be Rezza from the government, they want to understand in which direction we are going." "And want to know if we are going to make a "mea culpa" on social pacts." "I think I'll improvise." "Are you mad?" "So they say!" "Your Honor Oliveri, is it true that you will resign?" "Have you read the surveys, Your Honor?" "You return after a mysterious absence, and immediately surprise us proposing a change of line." "Is it repentance for the disastrous outcome of your leadership?" "A belated admission of guilt?" "What's this journalist's heading?" "I'm Corsini, Your Honor, you know me very well." "Corsini, tell me the truth." "Do you ever tell the truth?" "What do you mean?" "I just said the truth about my party." "Would you ever write the truth about your editor?" "Well, we are an independent newspaper." "True, in the header it's written "independent"" "Thus you begin to lie from the very beginning." "Are you familiar with the paradox of Epimenide's liar?" "Excuse Your Honor I asked you a question." "And I have just demonstrated that you do not deserve an answer." " Your Honor!" " Your Honor!" "Not too heavy?" "Wait here, I'll get the key from the neighbor." "Keep an eye on him, so he doesn't make problems." "Today I will talk of catastrophe." "A great French philosopher said that catastrophe is the only true resource of south." "Today we can see how that has become" "DOCTOR CERTIFICATE." "The patient Giovanni Ernani shows no more interpretive delirium of reality..." "LEMIDAL to be continued in equal doses." "Today we realize how it has become the only real resource of Italian society, which it seems to have for itself as a program only to live on the edge of abyss." "Today we keep hearing of new catastrophes, real or alleged ones" "We keep looking at politics, at industry... that thrive on catastrophe." "I wonder how people can tolerate all this." "Indeed they begin to have enough." "And...talking of catastrophe..." "I want to say also a word... about...my party" "We should have been the first to stop this bad habit." "We have been very soft, uncertain, undecided, vacuous, available." "In a word:" "Accomplices!" "We have been without a clear voice!" "Although from time to time someone tried to speak up, people heard nothing." "I can assure you that from now on, it will never be like this." "I am here so that tomorrow cannot be said times were dark, because they were silent!" "Mom told me that you've known each other for a long time." "Yes" "About... 25 years." "We met in Cannes." "Are you a film lover too?" "Yes." "Were you together?" "Look." "Dad said that you're still in love with mom." "it shows from your look." " Welcome!" " Welcome back, all right?" "Yes, thanks." "You are back in great shape." "Well, what a pleasure!" "You are different!" "So different that, when I heard about party criticism," "I was doubting you were the one who brought us at this point!" "Who says that I am the same person?" "Listen, Nolfo called me." "He is concerned about our silence." "Concerned about the versions circulated on your absence." "Without the alliance with the center Nolfo's center, we just lose the election." "No question about it." "It's spring, subtle veils of mist" "Also surround the nameless mountain." "Is it mine this figure whose back is walking away in the rain?" " Here it is, here it is!" " Your Honor good morning!" "Welcome back Your Honor Oliveri!" "Can you tell which is the decision on the electoral alliance?" "I'll make you a question:" "To defeat this government, which as you know is the worst in our history, is it right even to partner with the devil?" "Who would the devil be, Nolfo?" "No, I am talking of the devil himself." "The devil in person." "He exists you know?" "Only this catholic country never believed it." "It has always preferred substitutes!" "However, I fear that this man, the devil, has already partnered with our adversary." "In real terms, Your Honor, would you make the alliance or not?" "The consensus...my boy, the consensus is something serious." "It has nothing to do with alliances." "The only possible alliance today is with people's consciousness." "Is it mine...this figure whose back ...is walking away...in the fog?" "In the rain!" "What is it, a puzzle?" "It's a "haiku" (traditional Japanese poetry)" "I'm looking for Danielle, have you seen her?" " Danielle..." "the script girl?" " Yes." " Up there" " Thank you." "Close the door." "You can't stay here!" "Wait downstairs." ""NEVER WORDS WERE CLEARER"" ""the only possible alliance is with people's consciousness"" "It's right, you look good." "Thank you." "Hello?" "Hello?" "What is it?" "I can hear breathing." "It's you!" "Hello, I'm Mara, Danielle sent me." "If you want to attend shooting, we start now." "As we begin to roll, make no noise, do not move, otherwise I get reprimanded." "You'll see, it's a rather particular scene." " Good morning Your Honor." " Hello, dear." "Outside there is a crowd waiting for you." "Really?" "Thanks" "Bye." "Enrico, you must stop looking at me like that." "Apart, someone could see it." "Also that story...is over." "Isn't it?" "!" "What's up Bottini?" "Our president wants a meeting next week." "I could not avoid it." "Good!" "Professor, you must go alone, it's a private talk." "All the better." " Hi Enrico." " Good night dear." " Do you need anything?" " No." "So I am going out..." "see you tomorrow." "About the appointments?" "This afternoon I have something to do, cancel all obligations." "This venue really sucks!" "Whoever designed it?" "what?" "..." "You did." "You were so happy when we opened!" "Where are you going in such a hurry?" "Bottini, were you ever young?" "Or were you born like that?" " Who is it?" " Giovanni." "Bottini, let me introduce my friends." "I had a nightmare, but it's finished." "Thanks." "You have children, Enrico?" "No" "Can you drive?" "Yes, why?" "Tomorrow I meet with my friends and then go skiing." "Mom asked a driver to take me." "Can you take me?" "Sure!" " Can you turn off the lights?" " OK." " Good night" " Good night." " Do you still go the movies?" " Not really." "The last time was..." "three years ago." "You politicians don't have a healthy lifestyle!" "Right." "I try to see at least four films a week." "Your mother was like you." "This week I have seen" ""E.T", "Big Hopes"" ""Avatar"...and" ""Last Tango in Paris"" "Whoa!" "That's for adults don't you think?" "I was sure!" "You and sex don't go along very well, do you?" "!" "Hello." "Hello." " I am Simon's mother." " What a pleasure!" " Are you with Helene?" " Yes." "But I know you!" " I have seen you on TV!" " I think you are mistaken madam." " I will miss you so much," " Me too." "Nice trip." " Me too!" " Me too!" "No, me too." "My dear old friend is back." "I feared a lot for you." "And I feared much for all of us." "We are few left to reason." "All around I only see stoned people, thieves and bankers." "You said it right:" "it is a catastrophe!" "We're asked concrete actions!" "What would you do?" "I would try not to step on the dignity of those who cannot defend themselves." "If Europe and the world have become a miserable shopping store," "Then what are we?" "You, President?" "But it's not my fault!" "It is politics that has disappeared!" "To be or not to be, that is the question." "Is it better to be as if we have already disappeared..." "Where are you going?" "Or to disappear altogether to come back being?" "Where are you?" "He disappeared!" "How do you feel?" "Do not ask about me, not worth it." "Eventually, you tell me something." "Well, have you seen?" "Let's say that the rest was good for our Secretary that doesn't miss a beat and is climbing back in the surveys." "Do not pull my leg!" "Until the other day Oliveri was a boiled fish and now he is a shark that spares no one." "I do not believe in miracles." "If I tell you, you are the only one to know it, besides me." "Agree?" "If you do not trust someone in this condition, who can you trust?" "In fact, I tell you the truth, just because you're dying." "Up yours!" "We are in deep shit!" "Just today that the art department is under pressure." " What happened?" " Michel got sick." " Who is Michel?" " The assistant toolmaker." " Ready Enrico?" " Yes" "One, two, three..." "Slowly." "Is that okay?" "I did not think you would do so well" "If you want to take a bath with me tonight, I have got the key to the pool." "But we have to do it after nine, when access to customers is forbidden." "Lady Chancellor is waiting." "Please." "It is a real pleasure to meet you" "And exchange views on the current, difficult situation in which we find ourselves." "In this dark period your always surprising words have become a light for us." "You know you are aloof?" "That is?" "You seem to feel always out of place." "Not always." "Now, for example, here..." "I feel good." "You look like someone who has lost something." "What have you done to your hair?" "It's gray!" "Can I stay?" "Sure." " You got cold feet." " As always." " You look better with gray hair." " Really?" "You look more like ... a philosopher." " A poet." " Yeah?" " Unpredictable?" " ..." "A little crazy." "Dreamy..." "Hi Giovanni, how are you?" "You instead have nothing to tell me?" " What do I have to tell you?" " What are you up to with Mara?" "With Mara?" "I am not going to tell you." "Then don't tell me." "You should mess up your hair slightly Bottini, you'd look better." "De Bellis called me." "He would like to invite you for dinner after the party's closing speech." " He wants to have a chat with you" " What would my brother do?" "He would suspect a trap and not go." "I will go instead." "What's the matter?" "Sooner or later your brother will be back." "And you would not like it, would you?" "!" "No." "I would not like it." "No." "I want to confess something." "Just to think about it gives me the chills." "To someone like you I would give my vote." "And you feel guilty, why?" "Don't worry, it happens." "It happens when you are afraid of winning." "Let's be more friendly, Andrea, OK?" "Have you seen how many there are?" "We haven't seen a crowd like that in years." "There is a word I love in particular." "And it's not here!" "Passion!" "A key word not only for politics, but for life as well." "Excuse me, I am talking to you." "You say:" "Our movement is in a bad shape." "The Darkness is increasing." "Our Powers are decreasing." "Now, after we have worked all these years, we are in a worse condition than at the beginning." "But the enemy stands stronger than ever!" "Their Power seems to have increased." "They have taken on an appearance of invincibility." "We have made mistakes, it is undeniable." "Our numbers are dwindling." "Our words are in disarray." "The enemy has taken our words and twisted them into something unrecognizable." "Now, what is wrong about what we have said?" "Some parts or everything?" "On whom do we still count?" "Are we left over, thrown clear out of a living river?" "Are we going to be left behind, Understanding no one, and understood by no one?" "Do we need Luck?" "So you ask!" "Expect no other answer" "except your own!" "I've never seen you eating with so much appetite." "As a matter of fact, since I know you I've never seen you eating." "What's happening to you?" "You talk of passion..." "This morning you almost managed to move me!" "It would have been a miracle." "How far do you want to go?" "This country is tired, rotten...afraid." "One cannot afford to be naive." "I...could be helpful." "I do not know exactly how far you think you can get, on your own." "To free Italians from fear." "From fear!" "Interesting, yes." "And commendable, but I know you too well." "I am sure, this unexpected exuberance, this speech that has become sharp, I admit, really effective, it is not yours." "It is not part of your DNA." "Meaning?" "An eminent politician once told me about his experience with certain chemicals." "He said they were a tremendous help." "That they even solve certain disturbances of personality!" "It seems to me that, for sure, you are taking something strong." "Why don't you propose to our leadership a drug test?" "I wouldn't mind!" "Good idea!" "But, look, I'm being serious, what are you hiding?" "Look, De Bellis what you do not seem to understand something much bigger is happening." "Instead people got it very well." "Even the elephants inside the party understood that music is changing!" "Accept it De Bellis." "What?" "This time we will win." "You go ahead and I'll catch up because Bertrand asked me to buy a box of colors." "Yes?" "Hello?" "Hello, who is this?" "Hello?" "Hello, who is it?" "You waste my time playing?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "It's me." "How are you Giovanni?" "Are you well?" "I wanted to thank you." " Your pill." " I took it already." "Who was it?" "You want to go out with me somewhere?" "Such a beautiful day." "Can you?" "No, but it's a long time since I've been by the sea." "Where is Enrico?" "Enrico!" "Enrico!" "Where is he?" " He is going to come." " Danielle, look for him." "Calm down." "NEVER WORDS WERE CLEARER" " Hello!" " It is a surprise for Danielle." "As you can see: zero autonomy." " The country did you good!" " Yes, thank you." "I understand why Danielle is in love with you." "Now you're a different man!" "I want to show you something..." "I did a research for my new film." "Come." "Under what condition will you soften your position?" "Personally under no condition, no condition." "It is not a question of trading one interruption or two." "There should be no interruptions." "Is it an ethical, moral question?" "Yes, it's also respect for ourselves, not only for the authors, who make a craft of storytelling, who are inventors of situations, characters, who cannot undergo this continuous aggression, this barbaric villainy." "How can one respect oneself in this continuous getting slapped, spitting in the face and insults?" "You see, Fellini is the artist who more than anyone else has fought so that indecency would not become a habit." "When TV channels went to spy on his death," "Their real mission was to announce the end of a world and the birth of a new cycle." "Politics... as permanent invention of reality, as an imposture." "You surprised me, Enrico." "You are testimony of a failure involving everyone." "Could you please chop the onion?" "Yes, sure." "I'm making curry pilaf rice." "It's Danielle's favorite dish." "Is your movie telling a story?" "I do not like films of which you can tell the story." "Hi, my love." "How are you?" "I found it in the closet, hidden." "Who is she?" "She was our fiancée."
