"Once upon a time, there was a girl." "A girl who didn't believe in fairy tales." "Maybe because no one had read them to her when she was little." "For her, there were no princes living in castles." "No enchanted farm hands." "No happy endings." "Only sad beginnings." "Cabella often stood on the bridge when she needed to think about her life." "And as her life was a little complicated - she needed to think about it quite often." "She was an orphan - and had lived with her guardian Max for as long as she could remember." "Max had been a good man, and the only person who had ever cared about her." "He had never told Cabella anything about her parents - or why she was left in his care." "Now he was gone, and it was too late to find out." "This is Mr. Upton from Hammersmith, Fitzroy and Upton Law." "Unfortunately, he didn't leave a will." "You should be aware that all of Mr. Featherstonehaugh's assets - are being transferred to his mother, including the Belsize apartment" "I recommend you park your personal belongings - and vacate the apartment before that." "Good day." "Max was always very kind, but he had also been strangely sad and withdrawn." "The next morning, Cabella packed her bag - and said her goodbyes to everything that reminded her of Max." "She couldn't take mud!" "with her - but she wanted to bring something to remember him by." "A book that she had seen Max reading." "The Kanota Palace in jaipur." "An Arabian thoroughbred called Maktoum." "The Rembrant portrait of his son, Titus." "A set of diamond-encrusted cufflinks..." "Max's mother had never much liked his orphan protégée." "And Cabella had to muster the little courage that she had - to face the Featherstonehaughs once mam." "Max's nieces, Amanda and Adeline - certainly had never gone the extra mile - to make her feel that she belonged to the family." "Thank you so much." "Mr. Featherstonehaugh left this in my hands - in case anything like this happened." "He said it contains some answers about your family history." "This is for you." " Thank you." "What the hell is she even doing here'!" "Interfering with our family business." "Au revoir!" "Ban voyage!" "From when she was little Cabella had imagined what her parents were like." "Secretly hoping that one fine day, they would finally tome to get her." "Non; if she had parents they would have told her not to go on some wild goose chase - after some address and a rusty old key." "But she was on her own." "And for better or for worse, she was going to get to the bottom of this." "This is a Magnani." "This key has been made by us, by our factory." "This MM." "2900." "Which is the number which was written in the key." "Duemille cinquerento dieciotto..." "It's Villa Rosa dei Venti, here." " Is there an address?" "Cabella!" " What?" "Cabella is a small village." "This is your village!" "Buona fortuna, signorina!" "Oh!" "Hi, I saw you yesterday at the waterfall." "Hello'!" "Can I pay?" "He can't hear you." "This is my cousin Leo." "He is deaf and mute." "Oh." "My parents say he talked when he was very small." "He used to play with some children in the village." "What happened?" "Nobody knows, one day he was like that and never spoke again." "Are you visiting for the summer?" " Yeah, I guess." "Or maybe I live here." " No, you don't." "Believe me, I would have noticed if you lived here." "Nothing ever happens here, and nobody ever moves here." "I'm staying in the pink villa." " No one's been there in ages!" "Ok." "Poi sta anche donnendo." "Si sveglia!" " Maria, ma sta' dormendo!" "Ciao!" "Truth or dare?" " Truth." "So, what do you most need to mend your broken heart?" "Hmm, I think I need more evenings like this." "See Sophia, she liked my question!" "You get another question." "Maria'!" "Well, Sophia and I where wondering" " No I wasn't!" "Ok." "I was wondering." " You were wondering'!" "Have you ever been in love'!" "I liked this guy at school once, but he didn't even know my name." "I was quiet and not that interesting." "That sounds kind of familiar, doesn't it, Maria'!" "Only you're not quiet." "Yes Maria, who do you like'!" " Shut up!" "Nobody." "She loves Lord jai." " I do not!" "Who on earth is Lord jai?" "Sounds like some old guy." "He's not that old!" " See that?" "He's the guy that lives in the castle over there." "I saw it on the way here." "It's huge!" "He must he quite rich." "Oh yes!" "He drives around with a chauffeur." "And he wears fancy cashmere shawls." " And his servants have uniforms!" "And from today, Maria is going to be one of them." "She took the job just to be closer to him!" "I did not!" "I don't even like him." " Sure." "Girls!" "Lord jai must be reading the Mahabharata in bed." "Look he's up there!" "Cabella!" "House?" "I might have had a bad dream." "Do you mind if I talk to you for a moment'!" "Sorry if I woke you up." "No, I never sleep." "Did you say something?" "Here I am!" "Oh, you're so young." "Well, that depends." "I have been nine for over a hundred years." "It's okay, I'm over it." " Why are you here?" "I came here with my master to sweep the chimney, but I got stuck." "It was really narrow." "I am so sorry." "I've lost someone I love - and I've been wondering how does it feel to die." "I'll tell you what it's like to die if you remind me what it's like to live." "First I felt this tingling in my chest- and a coolness all over my body." "Like a swim in a river on a very hot day." "All my pain went away." "I felt the presence of something very comforting." "And I wasn't afraid." "No past, no future, just the present moment." "I started to feel everything around me." "Feelings emanating from people too." "Can you feel the feelings I emanate now?" "You're afraid of sleeping in the dark - and would like someone to watch you fall asleep." "Lord jai's car!" "Is he actually a lord?" " No." "He is just very rich." "Is he British?" "No, that's the weird thing, he's Indian." "On Tuesdays, he practices with his fencing teacher." "He has two horses, he went to boarding school- and he moved here three years ago." "I remember when I saw him for the first time." "Cabella?" "I once thought I wanted to jump and give it all up." "Have you ever..." "You know'!" "No!" "I think my life is too exciting a book to be left unread." "Your hook looks pretty interesting too." "So you're real!" "[wasn't dreaming." "Now it's your turn:" "tell me what it's like to live." "Well, for the longest time I didn't even feel alive." "I never fitted in." "I was always angry." "Angry?" "Why?" " Because everything is so unfair." "What's so unfair?" "Everything" "I didn't know who I was, who my parent were, why they left me." "Would it help you if you knew'!" " Probably not." "They abandoned me!" "They left me with no one to love or trust." "Well, isn't it up to you to trust or love someone?" "Never thought of it that way." "Anger wears off pretty soon." "The things that you deeply love stay on forever." "For me it was the memory of my mother." "What would that be for you'!" "I don't know." "I don't have anyone to love." "There are millions of people out there." "Maybe it's that you don't want to love someone?" "Go away!" "Come hack!" "So, which one is it?" "Think about it, I have all eternity." "Cabella!" "Good morning." " Hi Maria." "Oh'!" "It was you'!" "Thanks for the eggs." "Me?" "I didn't bring them." "Who is it from?" "I don't know, same thing yesterday." " You must have a friend in a farm." "I don't know anyone beside you." "A secret admirer then?" "How romantic!" "Oh my God, I almost forgot, we need to go!" "She'd never been outside the village or in a car - and her last wish was that she didn't have to ride one." "Even to the cemetery." "What did she die of?" " I have no idea." "But she was really old." "And mean." "This would be the first time I'm at a nun's funeral in my pajamas." "Are those men her relatives?" "No." "They were her clients, from the restaurant by the church." "I think they secretly loved her." "Poor Giulia, a couple of years ago she dreamt- that her future husband would come to the village on the bus." "There's a bus'!" "It comes once a day, but there's never anybody on it." "And she waits every day'!" "She pretends not to, but she just happens to be on the square when..." "See?" "So, you have Lord jai, and Giulia has the bus." "How about Sofia'!" " She's only interested in painting." "And there aren't many boys of our age anyway." "It's really just old men and us!" "I didn't tell her." "It's not her fault." " Good, it has nothing to do with her." "Why'd she have a heart attack when she heard someone moved into her house?" "Maybe she lived there before becoming a nun?" "Maria?" "Cavolo!" "Ciao Cabella!" "A touch of rosmarino and a little bit of salvia." "Are you following, Cabella?" " Pay attention, signorina." "If the pasta is not al dente, the Italians will kill you!" "But that's not what killed sister Ambrosia, right?" "Ok, we'll tell you." "We heard this from the doctor's assistant." "Who, by the way, is her boyfriend." "Never was and never will be." " Always was, always will." "Come on." "Sister Ambrosia?" "Someone told her that you moved into the house." "And he is her boyfriend" " No he's not!" "But for some reason, she was shocked and had a heart attack." "Maybe she lived here, before." "Or someone she knew." "So, not only I went to her funeral in my pajamas - but I also kind of killed her." "Oh no, I'm gonna be late for work." " You mean your 'work'?" "We could also use a maid at home, you know?" "Dust particles, tremble!" "What a cleaning queen!" "Lord jai must feel so lucky." "Ok, I admit it, you're right." "It's also my responsibility to love and trust people." "I'm glad you feel that way." "After all, you have a lot going for you." "You're alive, for instance!" "An old nun had a heart attack when she heard I moved into the house." "How do you explain that?" " I can't tell you." "But if you dig a bit deeper, you will find out." "You mean I have to go to the cemetery'!" "I didn't mean literally digging, but it's not a bad idea." "You don't seem surprised at all." "At this age, there aren't many surprises in store." "Don't go, tell me a story." "Okay." "In a distant land, there was a boy." "The boy lived with his mother." "His mother worked at a brick factory." "And in this factory - animals, women and men toiled all day under the scorching sun." "The boy's mother carried bricks from morning till evening." "The boy, he wanted to go to school but they didn't have any money." "They lived in a tiny brick house - next to the big oven, in which bricks were being burned day and night." "Cabella!" "On the left, the final resting place of the famiglia Storato." "My grandmother Cecilia's." "And so there are her two sisters Eugenia, Alice, their parents..." "Ciao, cari!" "You're so lucky to have such a big family." "I Think that's old Bronzini." "I don't think I've ever seen him come this close to the village before." "He has a vineyard up on the hill." "Chiara!" "Chiara wrote in Max's book." "With hearts and everything." "Do you think she was a relative of the nun'!" "Usually members of the same family are buried next to each other." "But I don't think I've ever heard of her." "Sister Ambrosia already has so many flowers." "I'll leave this one to Chiara instead." "Welcome back, Fabian." "I sent for you as soon as I heard." "You can stay as long as you like You'll feel better in no time." "Girls, I'm still curious about..." " Sister Ambrosia'!" "Who knew her'!" " All of them, I think." "Can you ask them'!" "La mia amica vorrebbe sapere qualcosa di pin sulla Sorella Ambrosia." "La cuoca pin brava della regions, penso." "He says she was the best cook in all Piemonte." "Era bella, bellissimal" "Ma aveva un raraderino ma di scllerzo." "He says she had a... had character?" "But who really knew her'!" "Che qualcuno the la conosceva davvero?" "Bronzini." "Bronzini la conosceva." "The old man we saw at the cemetery." "You should ask Leo to take you to him." "Why would Lord jai come to live in the village in the first place?" "I don't know." "Why not'!" "It's a nice village, if you like... this kind of thing." "And it has the most beautiful cleaning lady in the world." "Lord jai must be so smitten!" " I don't even think he has noticed me." "He's mostly riding the grounds or studying his papers." "He is looking for a missing relative or something like that." "Do you know who he is looking for?" "No, but I've heard him over the phone and he seems pretty desperate." "He gets reports from a private investigator in London." "That stuff is all over his desk." " Can you get us in?" "Where is everyone?" "I think he went to fetch a friend of his who was in an accident." "Where is the study?" " Up there." "Cabella." "I can hear them, they're having dinner." "Maria!" "Don't touch anything." "I am going to get into so much trouble!" "I can hear them!" "Hide, they're coming!" "You're giving me your room?" " You looked out for me at school." "This is my study now." " That was long ago." "Still not sleeping on a bed, are you?" " Not until I find her." "My advice is to give it up." "You'll never find her." "The room gets the morning sun." "I am sure you'll feel better already in the morning." "I'll never feel better." "I don't even feel my feet anymore." "I got it." "The doctor said it's not impossible that one day... just get out of here." "You don't know what it's like, never to ride, to fence." "Never to sail a boat ever again, ok'!" "I'll ask Maria to bring you breakfast at ten." "That'll cheer you up." "She is the prettiest of the maids." "I'm a cripple." "You might as well send the ugliest one." "I'm lucky if she looks at me twice." " As you wish, my friend." "Good night." " Yeah." "Ghosty boy!" "Handclap?" "Ghosty boy?" "I'm not your genie!" "And how shall I call you then'!" " How about my real name'!" "Angelo." "How was your day'!" "The usual, practicing my scary laugh, a bit of haunting." "I went to the cemetery, and I saw that on the other grave was Chiara's name." "Just like in the book." "So, Chiara is connected to the nun, but she is also connected to Max." "Who was she'!" " That's what you have to find out." "So you actually already know?" "My lips are sealed, bound by an oath." "To whom?" "To her?" "You knew her'!" "She used to live here." "This is her house." "These are her things." "What did she die of?" "Oh please, just this one thing." "She got sick in India." "Can't say more." "I was officially liberated, but I stayed on for a mission." "If I compromise it, I disappear, little by little." "Okay, okay." "Say no more." "I'll find out myself. just stay." "Dear Leo, I heard from Maria you go up to Bronzini's house on Sundays." "Can I join you?" "Cabella." "P.5. Thanks for the apples." "Maria, this is what our mystery woman Chiara, who lived in my house - wrote to my uncle Max." ""To my dear Max."" ""Thank you for all your love and loyalty.'" ""May you take care of what's most valuable to me."" ""This book has everything I want to pass on."" ""So much love, Chiara.'" "Is it good?" "Read me something." ""Like a giant oak tree covered with apple blossoms - is the vast man in you."" ""His might binds you to the earth, his fragrance lifts you into space - and in his durability you are deathless.'" ""You have been told that, even like a chain - you are as weak as your weakest link." "This is but half the truth.'" ""You are also as strong as your strongest link.'" ""To measure you by your smallest deed - is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam.'" ""To judge you by your failures - is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconsistency.'" "So, it means we're actually better and stronger that we think'!" "I think so." "Her mom really wants her to marry another man." "And at the beginning they..." " Girls, I have to go." "Bye bye!" "Bye" "Get my hat!" "It must be five to the bus." "Oh, I have to go to work, so I need to go home and get ready." "Cabella, what are we gonna do with these romantic fools?" "Nothing." "I kind of envy them." " Really'!" "I don't." "I so prefer my peace of mind." "See you later!" "There are deer in the forest." "And when she sits there very quietly, they let her paint them." "Leo, my boy." "How are you?" "Welcome." "And who's your lovely young friend'!" "Hello, I am Cabella just like the village I" "Welcome Cabella, just like the village." "So what brings you to this edge of Italy'!" "This key." "It was given to me by my uncle Max." "Who wasn't really my uncle at all." "And have you found the lock that fits the key?" "Villa Rosa Dei Venti, near the castle." "I saw you at the cemetery and I needed to ask you about the nun." "Please, I need to know." "It's quite important." "It is not so easy." "Ambrosia." "To me she was Ambrosia." "Later sister Ambrosia." "We were sweethearts." "We had the most beautiful summer." "And then..." "Everything changed, she was different, she wouldn't talk to me." "She was very religious before, but now she was all the time in church." "So..." "She was with child." "She told everyone that Virgin Mary had appeared- and that she, herself, was a virgin." "And to prove she was a true bride of Christ - she gave up the child, and took her convent vows." "Little Chiara was taken to the convent orphanage in Genoa." "At that point, I... gave up the village." "And came here, never to return." "Ambrosia, so proud, so stubborn." "Sometimes you just must accept what you can't change." "Checkmate!" "I do it every time." "Everybody's lost someone or something." "Everybody's had a broken heart." "Bronzini, looking down at the village, but never going there." "Lord jai, searching for a missing person." "And his friend, angry because he may never walk again." "And me, living alone in a big house." "You can't escape it." "What do you do with a world full of sad people?" "You're a good listener, Leo." "You must have planted this." "It will give food, shelter, and a home to so many living beings." "Maybe that's how one can be happy." "One day and one tree at a time." "He would have to he quiet, understanding - and he should be able to listen." "And, he has to be independent and has to help me." "I know this sounds very old style, like finding the food and stuff - but something like that." "That would be a perfect man." "What do you think of that, Maria?" "Giulia'!" "Sophia?" "Are you all sleeping?" " Not anymore." "Maria, [would like to request your presence at the party next Saturday." "As my guest of course." "Bring your sisters too, if you like." "Too short, too loud, too frumpy and too ﬂoral." "Where are all the evening gowns'!" " Maybe she didn't have any." "Maybe she was like me, not the outgoing type." "Suitcase!" "Hold this." "Maria!" "Try it on." " But..." "No buts, try!" "Que bello!" "An evening bag, to go with it!" "Maria'!" "Look." "It's the same handwriting." "See, it's her's!" "Let's read something!" "It's a diary, it's private." " Not anymore." "It's in Italian!" "Oh." "I talked to Bronzini." "He told me that Chiara was sister Ambrosia': child." "But she was a nun!" "I guess that was the problem." "She was sent to an orphanage and then to a boarding school." "So this might have some juicy secrets." ""Maybe it's all the colors and smells of India - but I find myself oddly hungry for life.'" "Every single morning of my life in the convent " "I've gotten up at dawn and hurried through the cold corridors to kneel on the hard floor while Latin prayers were recited." "But one morning, I arrived to India." "To the smell of spices and incense - to the sound of peacocks and the distant echo of devotional songs." "The charity of the Holy Trinity had organized a room for me - at the residence of a Mr. Featherstonehaugh - who had previously rented extra rooms at his palace to nuns who wished to spread the Almighty':" "love - by helping the poor in jaipur's slums." "I had imagined Mr. Featherstonehaugh - to be the kind of old gentleman who likes to sit in the evening sun - while sipping his dry martini and listening to ancient music - and I was only mistaken about Ink age." "He was no older than I." "Maximilian Featherstonehaugh, or Max - never leaves his compound, and only socializes with his servants." "They're used to his mood swings, but they love him anyway - and indulge him in whatever seems to make him happy." "He is the strangest character and hasn't paid me much attention." "Although I think he is secretly observing my comings and goings - and is probably just as curious about me as I am about him." "He is an artist." "And when he's not reading - or carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders - he whiles away the hours painting only the things he is truly fond of:" "still lives, animals and his most trusted servants - as gods and goddesses of the Hindu mythology." "He is somehow tortured and fascinating - and I hope I will get to know him better:" "Oh look!" "This might be interesting: a drawing." ""On Tuesdays and Thursdays we work in the slum.'" ""I have come to await these days, because it is amazing to witness - the sheer joy of these people who own absolutely nothing - but know how to enjoy the gift of life."" "Our lives look so different - but in essence, are they that different at all?" "Don't we all feel the same happiness and joy - sorrow, loneliness and longing?" "Them is one mam reason why] like the days I spend in the slum." "Alexander." "He seems like a very decent man - and I have come to admire his character and good heart." "I heard that he used to be a promising pianist - but that one day he got tired of his music, sold Ink grand piano - and with that mane};" "started a slum school." "It's very hot today." "Everybody, take your tie, and use it as a fan." "Ah!" "Feels much better!" ""This was his way of taking a break from all that playing."" "Aww, they're falling in love!" " That last sentence was yours, right'!" "I love Alexander, she should so choose him." "No way, Max is coolest, go Max!" "Chiara, this is the voice of your conscience, pick Alexander!" "Come on!" "Max had organized a surprise birthday party for me." "And he seems to be mud!" "more sociable than before." "Something seems to unite these two very different men." "I had never gotten this kind of attention before - and it felt both ﬂattering and a little dangerous." "As a birthday present, Max wanted to paint a portrait of me as a Goddess - who was worshiped by the painters and musicians in need of inspiration." "While sitting - or standing - for him " "I grew to like this kind and eccentric man mam and more." "Wow, you're getting better." "So, Chiara was the girl living in this house, right?" "And the church sent her out to India." " Where she met Max." "My Max." "And this guy called Alexander." "My Alexander." "You don't even know him!" "I knew Max, and he was worthy of her love." "Chiara likes both of them but she doesn't know which one to choose." "Max is intelligent." " Alexander is sensitive." "Which one does she choose in the end'!" " We don't know yet." "Let's bet!" "If she chooses Alexander, then you have to go to Lord jai's ball." "Okay." "But, if she chooses Max - you have to confess your love to Lord jai at the ball." "Sounds good." "I vote for the bet!" " Me tool" "Ok then." "But Alexander better up the charm." "Here we go." ""Dear God, I am sorry to ask you for such a frivolous thing - but give me a sign, anything.'" "Today Alexander seemed pensive and moody." "He had received news that his mother was gravely ill." "His pianist father was on tour;" "and requested - that his son returned immediately to take care of his mother - whose only wish was that Alexander could be by her side." "He decided to go bad' to Europe." "I couldn't believe haw saddened I was when I heard of his departure - and I understood that] had developed strong feelings towards him." "I felt I couldn't let him go without finding out - if he had similar feelings towards me." ""I don't know what came upon me in that moment...'" "And the rest is censored from innocent young girls like ourselves." "That's unfair, give it to me." " I'll tell you this:" "Alexander the Great got the girl, and you are coming to the ball!" "Poor Max." " He was a good guy." "Yeah, but she didn't choose him in the end." "Well, not yet." "You know the story?" " Look at the book." "Chiara was my mother?" "Cabella." "We named you after the village, so you could find your way home." "You are loved, Cabella." "You always will be." "The asset is a villa, novecento style, on three floors, large gated grounds." "Estimated value of property..." "200000 euros." "That's yours, Miss Featherstonehaugh - and Miss Featherstonehaugh." "It's ours!" " Totally." "Give us the key." " The police will be here any minute." "The house'!" "It was uncle Max's, so it belongs to us now." "Oh, right on time." "Arrest her!" "Uncle Max left everything to us." " The Featherstonehaughs." "Zio Max." "Molto euro..." "to the Featherstonehaughs." "Ma hai capito?" " Ma niente." "Arrestare." "Subito." "Criminalel" "Don't worry." "My ladies, at your service." "What seems to be the matter?" "This person has stolen our house." " Left to us by our uncle Max." "No relation to her." "Is that so?" "Indeed, the will left all the assets - exclusively to the Featherstonehaugh family." "Including all property formerly owned by the late Mr. Max Featherstonehaugh." "Can someone translate that they need to take her into custody now - and surrender the property." "I would do that if I believed it was true." "But, since I am the legal owner of this house, I am unwilling to do so." "Please have the decency to leave my grounds at once." "What do you mean, we cannot have the house'!" "Do you really call yourself a lawyer?" "It appears you have no claim to this house." "Falling old shack really." "I'm sorry, I didn't know it's yours." "Actually, it really is yours." "This was our room when we were small." "You were just a baby." "What was she like?" "She was the gentlest, sweetest of mothers." "She saved my life." "How did she save your life'!" "She told me some of the story, when I was little." "My mother was working at a brick factory when them was an accident." "Chiara saw me there all alone as she was passing by." "She was already expecting you - but she didn't want to leave me on the street, so she took me with her." "She was staying with Max at his palace, and there I found a new home." "She couldn't track down any living relatives, so I stayed." "Before you were bom we all moved to Italy." "She was already plagued with the fevers - that claimed her life a couple of years later." "When I came hack to the village, I started looking for you." "How did you know I was me?" "When I heard somebody had moved in here, I was curious." "Now that I see you, you look just like her." "Max was so devastated he could hardly function." "He sent me to boarding school, took you to London with him." "I am so sorry I lost track of you." "Let's not talk about this to anyone." "I'll make an official announcement tonight." "I've been so stupid." "Trying so hard to be as unhappy as possible." "You look nice." " Thanks." "She used to wear that too." "Max liked it." "Was he here when we were small?" " All the time." "Her last wish was to see a sunﬂower field." "They loved each other." "He carried her when she didn't have the strength to walk anymore." "She loved both of you and she fought for her life to be with you." "Hey, you're telling me all this and you're not flickering a bit." "Because I've done everything according to her request." "She asked me to stay in this house and see if you ever came hack." "Even if I was eighty years old?" " Wouldn't make much difference to me." "Why didn't you tell all of this at the start?" "She asked me to let you find out yourself - and only tell you more when you had forgiven her." "How could you know I have forgiven her'!" "I can feel emotions, remember?" "Oh." "Now that my mission is complete..." "You're going?" "For good?" "Where'!" "No one knows for sure, but I've heard rumors that it's great." "Don't go, I'll be so lonely." "Thank you for everything, I'll miss you." "I love you too." "Hello!" "You came!" "Of course, I came with the invitation you gave me." "How are you'!" "Good!" "And about that bet, I got some good news for you." "I know." "He spoke to me again!" " No." "Chiara chose Max, that means one thing." "Never..." "I am so not gonna do it." " A bet is a bet!" "Apparently Lord jai is going to announce is engagement tonight." "Oh, I hope not, he's so cute!" " That he is!" "Maria!" "In my wildest dreams I couldn't have imagined such a place." "Funny how neither of us actually belongs here." "And still this feels like home more than anything before." "It's chilly, sister." "Maria'!" "Maria'!" "Hey!" " Hey yourself!" "What's your name'!" "Giulia." " Of course." ""It is the East and Giulia is the sun.'" "Do you dance?" " Depends on who's asking." "Do you?" " Only on special occasions." "Such as'!" " Such as tonight." "Maria'!" "Maria'!" "Hey!" "Please." "Do you mind taking the noise outside'!" "I am looking for my sister." " Not here." "I've seen you." "In the woods." "See you at the party!" "Lord jai loves Cabella." "He doesn't care about me." "I know you like her." "I've seen you in the morning, with your basket." "Ok, I'm gonna go in there, smiling and be ready to congratulate them." "As the oldest of you may know, I came to this village when I was four." "Since many years, I've been looking for a very special person." "Someone with whom I want to share all my wealth and fortune with." "I want to present this person to you all tonight." "Please make her feel welcome." "She has made me very happy to have found her." "This is my long lost sister Cabella, daughter of Chiara Deodato." "May God, Allah and Sadashiva bless her soul." "I just found her and she is gone again." "I hope she comes back." "But in the meantime, let's dance." "Music, please!" "I know you can do it." "Leo" "You can hear me!" "You heard me!" "Can you talk'!" "I need you to tell me if you feel like I do." "But you..." "Lord jai." "Oh Leo!" "Lord jai is my brother, that's what he was saying." "I remember you, running between the ﬂowers." "You had a white dress." "I wanted to protect you from hurting yourself." "You were leaving the village, you told me you would come back to me." "You were three and I was five." "Cabella..." "You will never forgive me, after you've heard what I've done." "When Chiara was already weak - she asked me to bring this to the post office." "She said it was for your father, who didn't even know you existed." "I think she didn't want to ask Max to do it." "Funny, how big things always come in small envelopes." "I am sorry I didn't send it." "I thought he would come and take you away from us." "It's okay, Leo." "Things happen for a reason." "I'm glad you got your voice hack." "I swore I wouldn't speak before you came back to me, again." "A bit strange." "Well, I was five and then it became a habit." "It's really convenient to know what's going on." "I bet." "Not hearing, or speaking, I could be true to my deepest feelings." "You should teach me that one day." "It's good to be home." "My dearest Alexander." "I carry but the fondest memories of our time together in India - and will remember for ever the last night before your departure." "Soon after you left;" "I found out that I was expecting a child." "I waited for your return to tell you, but your mom stayed empty." "We now have a beautiful daughter, Cabella." "I wish I could stay to watch her grow - but it seems like destiny has decided otherwise." "I semi you my love, Chiara." "That is howl met my father - made friends, and started anew in my mother?" "house." "And that is why] believe in happy endings now." "Looking back, it's just a matter of opening your heart." "And don't let anyone tell you otherwise."
