Corpo celeste

That's the overpass.

We've arrived. Let's wait here.

- Are you sure?

- I'd say so.

Now what do we do?

Let's pray...

In the coming election,

vote Beniamino Spano,

the force of the future...

- Hi, Daddy.

- Daddy's love, hi.

Debby, aren't you cold?

Here's your jacket.

Come and get your jacket.

Come here, sweetheart.

Where are you going?

Marta!

Put it down!

He'll tell us when!

Girls, stay in line

Santa!

Everything okay?

They'll drive me crazy.

Debby, you're here!

I want you to meet my nieces.

They're back from Switzerland.

- Did you know that?

- No.

We're a little messy.

We walked all night.

You did the night pilgrimage?

Rosa and Alfredo, her boyfriend.

- He's from here.

- A pleasure. I'm Santa.

And the younger one, Marta.

Where is she?

Marta!

Here she is.

Hi, beautiful.

How old are you?

- Nearly 13.

- Really? You'd never guess.

You know,

with the kids your age, I...

Santa, come here!

Excuse me.

The loudspeaker's not working.

- It worked a moment ago.

- Well, it doesn't now.

I meant to tell you

it doesn't work sometimes.

Let's get things going!

Reverend, could we spread a tarp

in case it rains?

Okay, spread a tarp!

A tarp.

Let's cover the Virgin

Testing, testing...

It's working.

Dear brothers and sisters,

your attention, please.

We're gathered here,

like every year, to renew our faith

and the love for our community.

This year is special though.

In fact, Bishop Giorgio

will take part in our procession.

They tell me His Excellency's car

is about to arrive.

Let's wait for him in silence

and welcome him

with all the warmth and joy

our community can offer.

It's an order!

Open the door!

Marta!

Let me in!

- What time is it?

- Relax. Your mother's sleeping.

You're uglier than before.

- Welcome.

- Hello.

You're late.

They're waiting.

Know where to go?

I'll accompany you.

You can get there

through the rear door too,

but I suggest you come this way

to say hello to Jesus first of all.

Children, who makes up the Church?

The Pope and priests, non-Europeans,

the people of God or the plant world?

Come on, the p...

Sara.

The P...

The Pope and priests.

Are you sure?

Is that your final answer?

That's my final answer.

- Tell her, Anna.

- The people of God.

Good for you!

Kids, more energy!

What's the name of Lazzaro's sister

who listens to Jesus attentively?

Mary, Martha, Sabrina or Jessica?

Want to answer, my dear Marta?

Don't be scared. Listen...

Mary.

Martha, Sabrina or Jessica?

Come on, a name you know very well.

Martha?

Mary, the good sister is Mary.

Tell her!

Go take a seat.

Did you go to catechism

where you lived before?

Sit here, next to Anna who's good.

What did they teach you there?

Did you take tests?

- Can I go to the bathroom?

- No.

So, we were saying

that Confirmation confirms,

meaning it's the final confirmation

of Christian values.

It's a guarantee, a security.

Without Confirmation,

the doors to Paradise are closed

and Matrimony too.

With a small reading,

you'll understand better.

You have to memorize this.

It's the formula of the Holy Ghost.

Natale, stop clowning around!

Now pay attention and listen

to what Marco reads to us.

Read it.

"You are growing and

it's an amazing experience for you. "

How many new things each day:

"your voice changes,

your body transforms. "

It transforms...

It transforms...

"You feel useless, bored, depressed. "

You don't know

your place in the world.

But we know.

"The Church is the answer

you're looking for. "

- The Church...

- The Church...

"Feeling the Holy Ghost is like

wearing wonderful sunglasses"

that allow you to see things

in a different way.

"It is through the Holy Ghost

that you must see the world. "

See the world...

See the world...

It's hard to feel at home.

How long were you in Switzerland?

Ten or eleven years?

Ten years.

Pass me your plates.

Take it off.

You'll stain it with tomato!

Leave me alone!

Holy Mother,

I can't get that dress off her.

You know kids.

They like to wear costumes.

- She's not eating?

- Tell her. She won't listen to me.

Stuffed calamari.

Thanks, Aunt!

- I don't know if they're good.

- You always say that.

It's from the ocean.

I'm not buying

Mediterranean fish any more.

- Why? Isn't it fresh?

- You never know what you're eating.

With all the corpses in the sea,

they choke...

Nine's cousin in the navy told us.

All the bodies they find!

They're aliens.

No, they're Moroccans.

What should the fish eat?

It's best to buy ocean fish.

That's enough gloom.

A toast.

It may be thanks to God,

or maybe to the sea,

a toast I make,

to these calamari.

To the new house!

- Me too!

- Just a drop.

- How did you prepare them?

- Bread crumbs, parsley, garlic...

Is Mom your garbage can?

- Mom likes them.

- Yes, they're excellent.

Then take them from the pan.

Don't eat her leftovers!

I didn't touch it.

Louder! Let us hear!

Wonderful!

You should have seen her

in church. Fantastic!

Debby, what's the church one like?

- Good!

- Come to Daddy!

- Is our Marta ready for Confirmation?

- Yes.

She was already attending

Sunday School in Switzerland.

Here she's just started catechism.

Father Mario insisted.

He was right to insist!

It's also a way to make friends.

It's better to do it now

and get it over with.

- Isn't Marta's cake beautiful!

- Happy birthday, Rosa.

Happy birthday, Rosetta dear.

- Did Marta make it?

- Yes, by herself.

- Who wants some?

- Me!

You, Uncle?

No thanks. I'm really full.

I'm stuffed too.

Let's taste it!

Delicious!

You don't know what you're missing.

I just eat and eat

and leave no room for dessert.

- Is that my bra?

- Rosa, not now...

- If she takes my stuff,

she should tell me.

- Don't argue.

It's your birthday.

What's she need a bra for?

Look at her! She's a child!

Stop!

She runs off!

Where's she going?

She doesn't accept criticism.

It's easy just to run off!

"Holy Ghost, in times of trouble

I seek you and call you. "

Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani.

Like water flowing

from the font of the sea,

I entrust myself to you.

Free me from

the temptations of the world.

Give me wisdom, intellect,

counsel, fortitude, knowledge,

"mercy, fear of God. "

Holy Ghost,

in times of trouble

I seek you and call you.

Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani.

Give me...

mercy, intellect,

counsel, fortitude,

knowledge...

Fear of God!

- Is he totally naked?

- Yes.

- Life-size?

- Yes.

Even down there?

Children, you don't understand.

Jesus' body is different from ours.

It's a spiritual body,

heavenly, holy.

Can I go to the bathroom?

Jasmine, especially you,

listen to me.

It's a figurative crucifix,

meaning you see

the whole figure of Jesus.

- When will they bring it?

- The day of Confirmation.

On a donkey!

It's Father Mario's idea,

our reverend parish priest.

He wants to organize

a grandiose ceremony

for when this gift is unveiled.

I'm tuning into God

He's the right frequency...
