E la chiamano estate Page #2

since you've seen her ?

Years, actually l'm surprised

she still has my number.

She didn't give it to me,

l looked it up myself.

l'll give you the builder's name,

use my name,

explain everything to him.

lf you like,

l have the blueprints in the car.

So, you never tried

to get in touch with her ?

- Who ?

- Anna.

Why should l ?

lt's normal, isn't it ?

Even if a relationship ends

there's always a need to...

you keep thinking about it.

l think Anna has never forgotten you.

You think wrong, l assure you.

Anna is one of the few women

who left me no memories.

Let's go down,

l'll get the blueprints.

This was his brother Gianni.

He was a year older than Dino,

many thought they were twins.

They were very fond of each other,

Dino modeled after him.

Gianni was a promising lawyer.

l remember that Sunday very well,

we'd fooled around all day

with Dino and him,

and we'd organized

an evening soccer game.

Before he left us, Gianni said:

"See you later".

lt was Dino who broke down the door

and found that scene.

The autopsy confirmed

he'd taken a large dose of BZD

before he hanged himself.

Hi.

You don't know me, but l know you.

What ?

l was often tempted

to go into the shop,

pretending to be a customer,

but l never got the nerve.

Since l first saw you,

all I do is think of you,

what you do, how you live, if every

morning some lucky man wakes up...

Don't follow me anymore.

Relax.

Count with me:

five...

Hi.

l thought you were sleeping.

- What time is it ?

- Almost five o'clock.

l did the night shift,

l substituted a colleague,

he'd asked a favor.

At a certain point

l thought of you,

l wanted to call you.

Don't explain, there's no need.

Are you tired ?

You have no idea how tired l am.

Come here.

You're so good...

You pretend this is enough,

our bodies close,

those innocent caresses.

You'll end up hating me someday.

Anna...

get yourself a lover.

l'm pleading,

get yourself a lover.

You're all I want.

lf I close my eyes, all l see is you.

At times l feel a trembling inside,

although it's not cold

and outside it's still summer.

The man before you isjust

the shadow of what you imagine.

He's not what you think,

there's nothing behind him,

nor in front.

You won't make him better

than what he is.

He'll never stand by you

as you hoped.

He'll go on like this,

doing what he's always done.

My words might seem

ridiculous and senseless

when I say I love you

more than anything in the world.

Hi,

l'm not working today.

C'mon, let me in.

- I'll have a drink and leave.

- Come in.

Don't worry, he's a friend.

Who are you ?

l've never seen you before.

She's my guardian angel.

l was right to tell him, wasn't I ?

F*** off, you and that dog.

Where's your brain ?

l knew a girl who walked the streets

with a German shepherd.

For defense, she said.

What sh*t are you taking ?

Want some ?

No, l want to drink.

All l have is beer,

but you'll have to go in a minute.

Why ?

We want to be alone.

For what ? To lick your pussies ?

l already know how it ends up.

Send him away.

Get out.

No, l'm staying.

Take this.

Take all l have,

but l'm staying here,

to screw you until your bellies

have nothing more to give anyone.

Then give me your watch too.

Dino's father died two months ago

in a clinic for Alzheimer's.

His mother's still alive,

she's been in Australia for 20 years.

When her son Gianni died

she wanted to go back there,

she shut out the world,

never asking about her husband,

not even when he fell ill.

At first she'd call Dino,

then less and less.

l think no one's told her

about Dino yet.

Why did I accept it ?

Because l loved him.

Even if he never screwed me,

l always felt l was his,

totally.

Even when I discovered all his smut,

l felt I was the only one

at the center of his thoughts,

like he's always been in mine.

l've never felt so alive

as with Dino.

l was in his life,

more than I could imagine.

His desperation made me feel unique,

loved.

l'm not the reason

he did what he did,

l've told myself

every day these months.

Now l don't need to.

Why not ?

l don't know.

l can't stand this, I want to leave.

Hi.

What's the matter ?

The man before you isjust

the shadow of what you imagine.

He's not what you think,

there's nothing behind him,

nor in front.

You won't make him better

than what he is.

He'll never stand by you

as you hoped.

He'll go on like this,

doing what he's always done.

My words might seem

ridiculous and senseless

when I say I love you

more than anything in the world.

You're so beautiful...

too beautiful for me.

Hello.

l'm very surprised

you decided to come back.

The work we were doing takes courage,

but you were frightened.

You have to have faith

in our work, Dino,

faith in yourself.

Why do you think you're worthless ?

Why do you hate yourself so ?

Piss in my face.

Why did I accept it ?

Because l loved him.

Even if he never screwed me,

l always felt l was his,

totally.

Even when I discovered all his smut,

l felt I was the only one

at the center of his thoughts,

as he's always been in mine.

l've never felt so alive

as with Dino.

Hi, Dino.

- How are you ?

- Fine, you're looking good.

Are you alone ?

Anna's not with me,

l was around here for a conference

so l called.

Let's go inside.

- You've met Teresa, haven't you ?

- A year ago at the airport.

Of course.

Anna ?

She's in Bari,

l was in the area for work

and I thought I'd drop by.

Come, sit down.

- It's lovely here, my compliments.

- Thank you.

- Did you take the upper road ?

- Yes.

lt's a beautiful road,

takes longer, but it's worth it.

- When's the conference over ?

- Today.

Then sleep here, leave tomorrow.

Thank you,

but l'd rather travel at night.

- Where are you two going ?

- In the garden.

- Say hello to Daddy's friend ?

- Hi.

Hi, I'm Dino.

- I'm Aurora.

- I'm Nina.

Two earthquakes.

l didn't mean to bother you.

What bother ?

We like having visitors.

Since we moved here

we have fewer visits,

but at least we can breathe.

The city's close,

we did it for the girls,

in fact, they're growing

like two primitives.

ls everything alright ?

l'm just a little cold,

this shirt is all l came with.

Carlo, lend him a sweater.

C'mon, l'll show you

the rest of the house.

There are several families around,

and what I did in the city,

l can do here.

No regrets ?

No.

- Here.

- Thank you.

What about Anna ?

How is she ?

l often wonder the same thing.

l think you both work too hard.

You should take

some time for yourselves,

why don't the two of you

come here for a few days ?

This is the girls' room.

Doesn't Anna want a child ?

We've never talked about it.

She's over forty, it would be normal,

you should think about it too.

lt's a huge responsibility.

l said that too, it turned out to be

the best thing l ever did.

Why didn't you want kids with Anna ?

She was very young,

l had to finish college.

- It was far from my mind.
