" What's wrong, need help?" " I've got a puncture." "Can you give me a hand?" "I've been here for an hour, but no one will stop." "I thought these things only happened to poor people's cars..." "But..." "But... rich and poor..." ""We're all in the same boat."" "Don't worry, five minutes and everything will be fine." "I'd like to help but I'm old, if I bend over I need two jacks to get up again." "I'll do it myself." "Very kind." "Really very kind." " But that hair..." " The hair...?" " What hair?" "I don't know, It's you that mentioned hair." "Ah, yes, I speak and I forget what I'm saying." "I thought of your long hair, like a layabout." "Why go wandering around when there are important things to do?" "With a little good will you'd need nothing to get ahead." "To settle down." "What could be better?" "After all, getting married, is not like going to jail." "Nobody says that you've got to be faithful to your wife for ever and ever." "An occasional peccadillo, where's the harm in that?" " Indeed, it's a good thing, strengthens marriage." " Or wrecks it." "That's not true, it's enough to keep up appearances." "Well, I'm against marriage..." "Precisely because I detest compromise, hypocrisy." "And so you are one of those young who question everything, huh?" "It's time to finish with such terms, they've become slogans." " I'm just a free man." " Freedom!" "Freedom for you means to destroy, subvert." "You have nothing to offer in exchange for this society." "Firstly we need to find our freedom." "Then we'll study the best way not to lose it." "It's useless..." "I've tried to talk to many like you, but there's nothing doing." "Stubborn, you are like mules." "That's it, it's fine." "You can leave." " Thank you." " You're welcome." " Goodbye, my boy." "And remember what I said to you." "Forget your odd ideas." "You're like all men, there we seem so sure of ourselves and then..." "Just the smell, of a beautiful woman..." "And we forget about everything else." "We are weak, what's to be done?" "Now, look, there, for example... if you meet a beautiful woman, what happens?" "I'll tell you what happens." "You try to seduce her, the woman resists..." "I'm sorry, but why this fancy speech?" "Because..." "Wait, let me continue." " The woman resists..." " What woman?" " The woman I was talking about." "You want to know all the intricacies of that mysterious body." "Finally you succeed, believing to have won, but you're wrong." "The pleasure takes hold of his flesh and of his soul." "Excuse me, but what are you, a sexual pervert or a sexual mystic?" "Too late you'll realize that you've denied revolutions and protests..." "And have become a sex slave..." "And then, the devil!" "But you believe in the devil?" "Yes, unfortunately yes." "Well, it's getting late." "Good-bye, my boy." "Goodbye." "Damn!" "What a nutcase!" "Stop!" "Stop!" " What?" "I can't hear you!" " The tyre!" "Why did you puncture my tyre?" "What?" "I can't hear you!" "Wait!" "Tell me why you punctured my tyre!" "Look out, look out!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Go to hell!" "What d'you say we stop and give you a good delousing?" "There are no lice on my head." "A guy like you disgusts even lice." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Do you see?" "Nobody stops when you ask for help." "They pretend not to see." "Who are you?" "What are you doing in our woodshed?" "My name is David." "I was passing through last night and I thought I'd sleep here." "Sorry but it was cold, and then..." "My name is Liv, but believe me, get out of there, it's better, I think." "Yes, I think it's better." " It's nice here, great." " You came on this?" " Yes." " Then go, better leave." " Are you afraid someone might see me?" " They could come at any moment" " Who?" "Your parents?" "Not really, anyway go, they'd be cross with you." "Okay, for heaven's sake, I'm leaving." "Bye, Liv." "And who would they be, your mother and father?" "Who is this guy, Liv?" "I found him in the shed, sleeping." "I thought the house was uninhabited, so..." "You did well, but you'll have found it terribly uncomfortable." " We were going to have breakfast." "If you want to join us..." " Really?" "I'm going to change, I'll be right back." "It's so rare having a chance to meet someone here..." "It's really beautiful here." "There's such a traditional atmosphere." "And I love old country... houses." "Perhaps a little refurbished." "And then again this..." "What a surprise!" "That's comfortable!" " Have you come far?" " Yes, a long way." " And where are you going?" " A long way." " Are you always this precise?" " No, I can be a bit more vague." "Girls, where have you got to?" " One, two, three, and four." " Someone might always drop in." "Mm... fantastic!" "I'll have some jam." "Liv, how many times must I tell you you're no longer a child?" "You'll have to excuse her, my sister is a spoiled child." "And this is your usual breakfast?" "Yes, why not?" " By the way, you live here, in the midst of the woods alone?" " Yes." " We are always here." " And alone." "Well, if I was you, I'd be bored to death." "Are you sure?" " Well, it depends." " So, where are you going?" "I don't know, I've no particular plan, wherever feels right." "I'm going in search of a new world." "A new world?" "What do you mean?" "A world without selfishness, without malice, without violence." "But now I've told you, it's difficult to understand." "And love?" "How does love fit into your world?" "Well, generally love is always tied to a sense of guilt, unless it's officially recognized by society." " Then you're all for free love." " Of course!" "Love for me is to be understood as the joy of life, as an expression of life." " Not as a guilt complex." " You'll never be faithful to your woman." "If you are faithful to a woman, it means you're unfaithful to all the others." "Tell me, what's the harm, being unfaithful to the others if they don't know?" "The same may be true for women, then." "Sure, I'm all for sexual equality." "Well then, if you and I make love and one day you find me in bed with another man, you wouldn't care?" "I wouldn't jump for joy, but it's no tragedy." "I'd accept the situation." "And tell me, Samantha, if by chance you discovered me in bed with David, what would you do?" " Accept the situation?" " Liv, Samantha, what's the matter?" "Do you think that's the way to talk?" "Take no notice, it's always like this, they love new things." "It's so long since they've had an opportunity to talk to someone." " Well, I must go now." " What, are you going already, David?" "I can't stay, I've got to get on my way." "Well, 'bye, girls, and thank you so much for everything!" " It was a breakfast I'll never forget" " Not only breakfast, I hope." "Yeah, the rest as well." " Goodbye." " Goodbye, David." " Goodbye." "Yes, David?" "David, come back or we'll be late." "In ten minutes we must be at the centre of the lake." " You have an appointment?" " Yes, with the fish." "An appointment with the fishes!" "You really are strange." "David, stop here, we've arrived." " Well, What are we waiting for?" " Midday." "But why?" "Because when it's noon the sun reaches its zenith and all the fish gather at the centre of the lake for the ceremony." "What ceremony?" "The fishing ceremony." " Now!" " Quick, help me, David!" "You've done it!" "Damn, I'm going crazy." "Look, isn't it amazing?" "They say it's under a spell." "According to an ancient legend, those who remain in the castle until dawn decide their own destiny:" "for better or for worse." "You don't really believe some of these stories." "In all legends there's something of the truth" "Yeah." "So who owns it?" "One of our old friends, but they hardly ever live there." " He's afraid of compromising his destiny?" " No." "I don't really think they have these fears." "No one has ever understood how this tree was born here." "I've never seen anything like it in my life." "An apple tree which grows in the woods." "You've got everything round here, right?" "The wind brought a seed up here, and it took root." "A tree that loves solitude, obviously." "Like you." "And as far as I can judge, loneliness... bears good fruit." "Yes, really good." "Want a taste?" "David?" "Liv, but how long have you been here?" " For almost an hour, I think." " Really?" "I didn't see you." "Did you sleep well last night?" "Not too much, eh?" "I know, the woodshed is uncomfortable but we have nothing else to offer." "No, no, that's fine for me." "For years now I've not slept in a real bed." "Liv, how did you build this house right in the woods?" "I don't know, we found it here." "Perhaps Bibiana can tell you something." " Why don't you ask her?" " Where is she?" "Behind the house." " Ah!" "Bibiana, good morning." " Hello, David." " What are you doing?" " Can't you see?" "I love to stuff animals, it gives a sensation of stopping life." "Of stopping time..." "and beauty." "Forever." " Don't you find it fascinating?" " Well, a fine hobby, no doubt about it." "Look, Bibiana, I wanted to ask you..." "What the hell...!" "Hey!" "What the hell happened?" "Where's my bike?" " Samantha took it, she said she wanted a ride." " Where, in the woods?" " I think so." " Samantha!" "Ya-hoo!" "David!" "Sa..." "Samantha!" "Stop it, please!" "It's dangerous, come back!" "Listen to me, please!" "Samantha, stop!" "Where are you going?" " David!" " Stop, please!" "Samantha..." "Samantha, please." " Ya-hoo!" "David!" " Samantha you going to stop or not?" "You're going to break it!" "Stop it, come on!" "No, no, stop!" "David, here I am!" " No, no!" " Ya-hoo!" " Enough, Samantha!" " Ya-hoo!" " Are you crazy?" "Run!" "Run, David!" "David!" "David, come and get me!" "David, come here?" "David!" "David!" "David!" "David!" "David, come on!" "David, come!" "David, come!" "I love you, Maria!" "I love you, Maria!" "I love you, Samantha!" "Samantha!" "Samantha, I love you!" "I love you, Samantha!" "Samantha" "Samantha?" "Liv!" "Where are you?" "Bibiana!" "Samantha!" "Liv, is it you?" "David." "But how did you to get in here?" "Well, I found the door open and I entered." " Guys, we're late?" " Yes." "Luckily the door was open and he entered alone." "I found him in the house." "Ooh, a cream cake!" " Samantha?" " Yes?" "Yes, here I am." "That's funny, you look... different." "I don't know how to say it, almost... transformed." "We like to follow fashion." "It's true that we live in the woods..." "But this doesn't prevent us being up to date." "Mm-mm." "Amazing." " Who cooked it?" " I did!" " I'm convinced two of you are lying." " Which of us?" "Guess." "I can guess who told the truth, it's easy." "Can you be certain." " You, Samantha." " Bravo, you guessed it." "I'm glad you feel comfortable here." "You're in no hurry to leave, right?" "Well, not that much, but..." "After what happened with Samantha I'd think you'd be happy to stay some more." "Surprised?" "Just you who's going to change the world." "We tell each other everything, word for word." "There's nothing wrong if you Samantha and you're good together." " We're not jealous." " I get it." "I'd better go to bed." "Good night, girls." " Are you angry, David?" " No, no, no." "Good night." "Look, girls!" "now this..." "Well!" "Where are you?" "Look, I wanted to tell you..." "Before I was a fool..." "Where are you?" "Bibiana?" "Liv?" "Who's that there?" "Why did you run, David?" "You could stay with us." "No, no, I didn't run away, but..." "It was a propitiatory ceremony for the ancient feast of single women." "According to an old tradition... the feast is celebrated every year on the first Saturday of Summer." " I don't know what to say, I thought I was hallucinating." " Why?" "Well, all of these things strange things happening here..." "Bibiana, I was in the kitchen last night and..." "There's nothing abnormal." "It's just like we left it." "Look." "D'you see?" "Are you convinced now?" "You really must have been dreaming, David." "Maybe I dreamed it, or maybe I'm going crazy." "It's strange, David, you've changed." "When you arrived here, you were confident, cheerful, smiling." "Maybe you'd better not sleep in the woodshed tonight." "Come, David... with me." "But don't make a noise, Liv and Samantha are sleeping." "Ssh..." "Look at me, David." "Look at me." "Now, David, now!" "David!" "David!" "David..." "Here I am!" "David!" "Just the smell of a beautiful woman..." "And we forget about everything else." "David..." "Look at me." "David!" "David!" "David!" " Who brought me here?" " We did." " But what happened" " It's just what we were wondering." "Last night I left you alone in my room for a few minutes, you were sleeping" "And when I came back, you were gone." "We found you this morning, here, in front of the house, unconscious." " The storm..." " What storm?" "The man I saw you speaking to last night, who was he?" "He's the owner of that castle in the woods." "You remember?" "He came here to invite us to a party that he's giving, Saturday night." "In honor of Liv." " He came in the middle of the night?" " He's eccentric and suffers from insomnia." "Every so often he comes to visit us, at odd hours, for a chat." "Or just to say hello." "Try to get some sleep." "We'll wait at the cottage by the lake." " Do you feel better, David?" " Mm-mm." "Is there something wrong with you, David?" "I'm thinking the time has come for me to leave." " But today is Saturday." " Who cares?" "Girls, I'm happy here, but..." "And you want to go today, the first Saturday of Summer, my birthday?" " Well, I didn't think I'd be invited too." " Then come!" "Alright." " David, are you ready?" " Yes, more than ready." "It's come to pick us up, our friend's coach, come on." " This is David, a friend of ours." " How are you?" "Excuse me, we'll join the others." "Oh, finally, girls, we were all looking forward to seeing you." "And you, then, you're David." " You're just like we imagined David." " Do you know me?" "Here we all know each other and when there's a newcomer, word gets around." "David, this is Mr. Goldberg." " But who is this young man?" " What's that?" " Ah..." " Well, David, these are all our friends." "Are you interested in art?" "It's the unconscious manifestation of the inability to act, right?" "But perhaps love is what interests you more." "Oh, Joyce, you think of nothing else!" "Tell me, rather, What do you think the Third World?" "Do you have something to offer instead of the current system?" "In your opinion, at what point does liberty becomes anarchy?" "I'm sorry!" "Did you see that guy?" "He's not even capable of sustaining a conversation." "Ah, David, it's you?" "These parties are not for me." " So even you know me." " But of course." "Much has been said about you around here, in recent times." " Whose is the castle?" " It's owner is very strange and eccentric." "He invited us here and, as you can see, is nowhere to be seen." " And who are those people?" " What, haven't you recognized them?" " No." "They're those that count, the ones who decide, society." " Those who are not like you." " I see." " Then why did they invite me?" " I think to be able to see you close up." "To study you, as if to observe you under a microscope." "Like a virus." "Now everything is in your hands." " But is it decided?" " Really, Liv, what on earth is wrong with you?" "Okay." "Alright." "Obviously for you the time has come to make a decision..." "To make a choice." "But what is good and what is evil?" "This is completely subjective." "No one can advise you." "You have to decide all by yourself." "Look, there's somebody looking for you." "Excuse me." " I was looking for, Liv." " Me too." "Come." "I find you changed, you're more woman." "Why so surprised?" "It's my party." "It's a moment I've dreamed of for a long time." " What is it, David?" " I don't know." " For the first time I feel..." " Embarrassed?" "Maybe." " You want me to tell you what it is?" " Yes." "It's love." "It's love." "It's dawn." "Remember the legend of the castle?" "If you so wish... now no one can separate us." "Do you wish?" "Yes." "Well?" "Well, were you successful?" "Now I really think so." "Good, continue to the end." " You succeeded." " With what, David?" "To possess me, I cannot... do without you." " Are you sure?" " Yes." "I'm ready for anything so as not to lose you." "For anything?" "Would you renounce all your freedom too?" "Even that." "And betray..." "all your ideals?" "Yes, betray them." "Fine, everything's fine, David." "I'm so happy!" "Happy!" "I could die happy!" "Are you sure you killed him at the right time?" "No doubt about it, Your Eminence." "He renounced himself and all his beliefs." "So now he'll be in torment forever." "Bravo!" "Bravo girls." "You have done an excellent job." "But it was difficult, very difficult and will become more and more so." "Eh, I know, I know." "These people, with their new ideas, are affecting the whole world." "We must hurry and eliminate them all before it's too late." "If this continues, it'll be no use at all." "They are all losing the taste for sin." "And who benefits..." "certainly not me." "Get busy, otherwise you know what to expect!" "We can no longer corrupt in any way, Your Eminence." "The means we used are no longer sufficient." "And sex... they no longer think of it, they've lost all interest." "Invent new tricks!" "I've given you full powers for this!" "What kind of witches are you?" "Even with repression we can still scare them." "Persuade them now, get busy!" "They must always be occupied, create useless needs..." "Squeeze them!" "..." "Infuriate them!" "Drive them like mad from morning till night!" "Give them no peace!" "Do not let them think." "Only in this way can they explode, kill, suppress, hate!" "Enough, waste no time!" "To work!" "Liv, let's go!" "I'm coming!" "Subtitles:" "Corvusalbus"
