Fixed.

Alex.

I'm still late, Thierry.

TURIN, ITALY.

Grace, Signora. They are equal.

READING 'ALONE AT MY PAGE'

TODAY EVENING AT 9.30 PM...

'I gave myself to the stranger

completely unrestrained.'

Every restraint, every demand,

every breath became a challenge.

I opened my eyes and saw my

spirit walk among the living.

At the same time I found the view

of my lover dangerous and exciting.

The charm of being pulled into the depths...

...and to dwell forever in this illusion was...

...was overwhelming for me.

And I discovered...

...that pain and pleasure are superficial.

But love breaks through all that.

He did not know love.

'But I really wanted to find her.'

Thank you.

Compliment, that was wonderful.

- Thank you.

Bravo, my compliment.

- Oh thank you. Excuse me.

Very pleased. A wonderful book.

- Thank you thank you.

It really is you.

I hoped it was just imagination.

Like a ghost from your book.

What do you want in Italy?

Did not you invite me?

I have read your book.

It was very good.

Of course, my memory is different.

Do not you like your presentation?

- I do not like to play the bad guy.

I would not have loved you.

What do you want?

I wanted to see you.

- You have that now.

Did you miss me?

We were pathetic together.

We were perfect.

Maybe a bit heavy.

I will go to a villa today.

Come along.

To a villa? For real?

You can forget that.

- There are some interesting people.

I have to be in Rome on Tuesday.

Is no problem.

I'm supposed to meet

Thierry's parents in Paris.

My idea is more amusing, I promise.

A present for tonight.

I know you love theater.

A car will wait for you...

...just in case.

Chrie, what are you doing out here alone?

I have to ask you something.

Do you love me more when

I treat you like him?

Like a whore?

Oh, you're off.

Sadie, wait.

Sadie, stop tormenting yourself.

Let me help you...

- I am not disturbed.

Without me you are completely alone.

So, when exactly do you

have to be in Paris?

Leave it.

Let's say hello.

That was a great performance.

- Thank you, Mr. Zarr.

This is my friend Sadie Glass.

Sadie, Francesca.

She is on a reading tour.

I want to convince her of the villa.

Do you have something better to do?

- It is a bit complicated.

My things are in the hotel and I

can not go back there right now.

My driver will pick you up.

- You really always have a solution.

And you get the excuses.

Alright, if she comes along.

There is enough space for everyone.

Thank you very much. I get my things.

I knew you understood.

Did you have any romantic plans?

I will not f*** with you.

For a fresh start.

On material for my next book.

A nice cookie.

Not really. People here believe

the whole region is cursed.

And then her Catholic guilt feelings.

Really a deadly combination.

- Sounds very exhausting.

Under the village run various tunnels.

Escape for innocents.

That excludes us then, right?

We could still use it to escape from you.

They say they lead to hell.

Goodness.

That's beautiful.

And who does this belong to?

Business partners of mine.

Can you sell your soul twice?

Germans are not picky.

Congratulations, now you

have everything you wanted.

No, not all.

Wow.

Look around, Minos brings

the bags to your room.

Oh.

Sadie?

Sadie?

Have you already confessed your sins?

This way.

Hey. Come along.

Do you want to be an actress?

No. I want to become a star in America.

I sent out my showreel, but

without contacts, nothing works.

What is on it?

I recorded monologues.

Can you show me one?

Yes. OK...

Wait wait.

I cried last night.

I cried because I did the procedure...

...the way I became a woman was painful.

I cried because.

I recognized the reality.

I cried because I could

not believe anymore.

And I loved to believe it.

I can see that you understand me, and...

...and I am afraid.

I am so afraid to find someone

who feels the same way as me.

And just as much I long for such a person.

I am neurotic, perverted,

destructive, fiery,

dangerous.

Pain wants to be controlled.

You do not revel in it.

Thanks for this idea.

The planetarium is a little over the top.

- Yes. Have you seen the turtles?

Thank you.

Aspirin?

A little bit stronger.

Salute.

So beautiful.

When I was little, we drove

to our family villa.

Our house was a little bigger.

What?

- Yes.

No. No, do not worry.

I've never seen anything like it.

Oh...

Do you remember our villa in France?

She was beautiful.

- Yes, that was her.

Then we were in Paris.

Yes.

Oh, what's going on?

This room...

...is strange.

Something is wrong with this room.

Alex?

What was that?

I thought she could handle it better.

Do you have any O-juice to bring down?

- Yes, in the kitchen in the basement.

Can you take care of her?

- Relax.

Okay, let's get you from this chair.

Come on, I'll help you.

What are you doing here?

- You need help, right?

Help.

Help.

Fixed.

Dangerous as ever.

Sadie.

Where are you?

There you are.

Everything okay?

- no. You took too long.

I've lost my way.

Come on, little one. Come to me.

I see you are better.

Well then, have fun.

Sadie?

Is something wrong?

There is someone else in Turin.

I was pretty nasty.

Do not you want to be here?

But already.

What happened in Paris?

Alex likes certain games.

Well, and I went too far.

Is everything okay?

Yes. It's just strange to

be back at Alex's side.

How did you sleep?

- I had a very lively dream.

I believe immediately.

Et voila.

Thank you.

I was on a nice stage...

...and played a piece written only for me.

It was like the whole world was watching.

Was I there too?

- Naturally.

That was your piece.

That sounds good.

We both could do great things.

May I kiss you again?

A little slower, yes?

Love me.

That was a great performance.

There are some interesting people.

Do not worry about her.

Come along.

A nightmare?

Did Alex tell you about tonight?

- Hello, ladies.

Did you recover well?

So, the guests will arrive in a few hours.

Oh damn. I have to sleep.

- And I have to prepare the party.

Alex.

What kind of party is that?

Come on, Sadie, you know that.

Does she know it too?

- Relax yourself,

its all under my control. You also?

I'm still wondering if I should be here at all.

It's just a party.

- Yes.

If you want to go,

then do it now.

Have you done that before?

One or two times.

Dear friends, first a toast...

...on my girlfriend, Sadie Glass.

On the success of their memoirs, and

even more success in the future.

Welcome to this private company.

This weekend, the villa is sort of a slave.

Do with her what you want.

They all know the rules:

There is none.

Salute.

Are you happy that you stayed?

- Will I still regret it?

Its possible.

Our girlfriend really does not lose time.

What do you mean by that?

Help.

Alex.

Good Morning.

Do we play a round?

Now it's your turn.

What was that? Alex, I swear...

If you do not make a move,

it's my turn again.
