Captain Corelli's Mandolin Page #6

Synopsis: In 1941, Italy allies with Germany and ruthlessly conquers the much weaker country of Greece. On a remote Greek island, an Italian artillery garrison is established to maintain order. One Italian officer, Captain Corelli, adopts an attitude of mutual co-existence with the Greeks and engages in such activities as music festivals and courting the daughter of a local doctor. In 1943, however, after Italy surrenders to the Allies and changes sides in the war, Captain Corelli must defend the Greek island against a German invasion.

Pelagia!

It's for you.

From Italy.

What is it?

It's a record.

We should start making supper,

that's what we should do.

Lemoni.

Antonio.

I do not know if this letter

will reach you...

...or even if you are alive.

Perhaps someone else

sent us your record...

...and that is why

we found no note.

I would like to say

that Pelagia is happy...

...but she is full of tears

she will not let fall...

...and of a grief

no doctor can mend.

She blames herself for

the pain we have suffered...

...and perhaps the same

is true for you.

You know I am not

a religious man...

...but I believe this:..

...If there is a wound,

we must try to heal it.

If there is someone

whose pain we can cure...

...we must search

till we find them.

If the gods have chosen

that we should survive...

...it will be for a reason.

Where is your miracle

today then, eh?

What do we have

to say about that?

Wake up.

Fetch the firewood.

Fix the roof.

Paint the house.

She's driving me mad.

When I was deaf,

I couldn't hear her... nagging.

But now...

Iatre, I beg of you, help me.

Put the pea back in my ear.

Iatre?

Lemoni?

Lemoni!

Lemoni!

I was looking for Lemoni.

She's down the road.

I went to the house.

It doesn't exist anymore.

We are building a new one.

Your father wrote

you got the record.

It's a guitar.

It's different.

I tried to live without you.

I tried to make myself believe

I could live without you.

The scar healed well.

Stamatis,

do you love your wife?

If you love your wife,

my advice is be nice to her.

Bring in the wood

before she asks you for it.

If she is cold, then put

a shawl around her shoulders.

And bring her a flower every time

you come back from the field.

You won't put the pea

back in my ear?

Oh, no, no, no.

That would be against

the Hippocratic Oath.
