"Will you always be this way, Caina?" "But she lives alone and free, among her wild goats, far from home" "Agostineddu Pinna" "...he's her fiance." "The sails in the wind put inside her an unrestrained desire." "Pietro, the captain of the ship." "An old sailor." "A young sailor." "Why do you always run from me?" "At the village everybody looks at you in a different way than me." "I want to marry you and take you by my horse to the highest tops of our mountains." "How beautiful it would be to live over there, in our house!" "I can't love you, Agostineddu." "The sun does not want to shine for me." "You are always fooling me." "The sun shines in the blue water." "The night falls." "The intimacy of the household." "But her desire belongs to the sea and to unknown lands." "The sailors lying around the fire talk about their memories." "I was still rowing while the burning ship was sinking." "I saw Asia." "I've rowed more than you!" "Holy day at the village." "Agostineddu is waiting for you at the church." "Won't you go there?" "Take me with you, sir." "I'd like to see the ball." "Oh, what a beautiful sailor!" "We came from Corsica." "We are journeying towards the continent and we have stopped here." "It's been three months now since we have been away from our families." "But this very evening we will leave for home." "If you don't have a drink, you will offend us." "Her wish is coming true." "At dawn." "Where is Caina?" "How did you come aboard?" "Speak!" "No, no!" "I won't come down!" "You are the oldest." "I will listen to you." "I could not stay at home anymore." "The sea has bewitched her." "And as for effect of her desire, the sea is calm." "Giantolu hurries towards the cavern in the hope of finding his daughter." "Drink, drink, it's good." "We sail against the waves." "On the coasts of Sardinia a storm has been unleashed." "It seems that the storm comes to us." "Tell the captain the helm is broken." "Saint Barbara!" "Saint Barbara!" "Save my husband!" "Merciful God!" "Protect Giantolu." "Saved at last!" "I see land!" "After the storm." "And the lightning that saved the daughter killed the father." "Degenerate daughter!" "Where are you?" "Why don't you cry with me over your father's coffin?" "Oh, Giantolu!" "Take me with you to the grave!" "The women, as custom, cry for the dead." "Oh!" "Oh!" "You were a good man, Giantolu." "Honest and hardworking." "The paresis has disfigured Mrs. Agnes' face in an expression of pain." "Poor Mrs. Agnes!" "She pays for her daughter's sins!" "Home of the captain of the ship." "Shame on you!" "You force your sisters to accept your lover in your home!" "Either we leave or she does." "Make up your mind!" "It's not necessary!" "The wine has changed you!" "Yeah, yeah!" "She's right!" "Tomorrow all the neighbors shall know of your relationship and the honor of our family will be stained." "If you say another word, I will strangle you." "Caina was living in the captain's home as in a nightmare." "And every evening..." "I want to have you as before, Caina!" "Tormented by memories and homesickness." "The past, what an empty word!" "Homesickness." "I no longer want to remain on board the "Falcon." I'll go back to Sardinia on another ship." "When will you sail?" "Tonight we raise anchor." "Threats." "You, too, want to leave me, Caina?" "As my sisters have left me?" "No, you can't leave." "Tonight I will put an end to your resistance." "You already know me!" "I'll escape from you!" "Coward!" "Coward!" "Sailing towards the island." "...In ardent expectation!" "Hail Mary." "Agostineddu obsesses over her as the phantom of his pain." "Agostineddu!" "Agostineddu!" "Are you back?" "You, miserable one!" "Your father was hit by lightning." "Yeah!" "The same night you escaped." "And the tops of the cypresses repeat the same song:" "Giantolu is dead, is dead!" "Open the door mother, open, I'm scared!" "Cai....na, is it you?" "That witch has come back." "Dam - ned!" "..." "Dam - ned!" "..." "No, mother, I pray!" "Forgive me!" "Forgive me!" "Do not insult me at the door of your mother's home!" "Dam - ned!" "..." "Dam - ned!" "Poor woman!" "Away, away from the village!" "Yes, mother, I am going!" "Live your life in peace!" "Dishonest!" "Witch!" "And for the second time, Caina escapes towards the sea." "Thank you Agostineddu!" "Only you still love me." "Forgive me, mother!" "Forgive your unlucky daughter."
