about me...I mean

about her. About the woman

that he couldn't love

What was he thinking about?

Who knows how it ended...

Take him to the police tomorrow

Yes, I have to take the kids

to school and shop, but..

You can always call if

you need a hand. I'll give you

- my mobile number

- Alright

Is everything alright?

Is everything alright?

Listen, I'm coming in

What are you doing?

You couldn't sleep?

You couldn't either

Did the children stay

with your friend?

Yes, but Emine's kids

sleep here often too

I like the way your husband

plays with his children

Yes, Filippo is a good father

Have you known him long?

We've been married for 9 years,

but were together before that

It was different

in the beginning. Then...

Then the worries, the children,

like everyone else I guess

It must be beautiful to watch

love grow that started only as

passion...

and to help it change,

to protect it

from the passage of time

Well,

that's not always easy

Do you like to dance?

Yes, but I haven't danced

for years

It's been longer for me

- Martina, hurry up

- We'll be ready in two minutes

- What time is it?

- Too early for you

I'll take the kids to school

and then go shopping with Emine

I swear I'll leave him

at the police station today

No, I have to take his clothes

to the cleaners later

Alright,

just don't complain later

I took him to the pub

last night I almost lost him,

but thank God I got help.

You know, that guy that..

Alright, I'll tell you

some other time

You be quiet,

I'll talk to her

Comb your brother's hair,

it's sticking up

It took me an hour

to get it like this

Don't yell,

you'll wake him up

She doesn't understand,

she's an old lady

He doesn't care about the old man.

He wants to do you!

Come on, he hasn't even

thought about that

Don't you think

I'd have noticed?

He spied on you

just like you spied on him!

I didn't spy on him!

You've been acting out a soap opera

for months

- For this afternoon, please

- This will take three days

Please, it's really urgent

It's Saturday, we're closed

this afternoon. No way, sweetie

It's a human issue

If someone begs you

there must be a reason!

Come on,

it's important to her

Pass by later and knock

on the grate

Just this once, got that?

Nice suit, very fine fabric...

- Whose is it?

- What's it to you?

He's hitting on you, he even

knows how you like your coffee

These were in the pocket

- What's he doing with rocks?

- He throws them at busybodies!

Oh, hello!

Right now?

I don't know,

how can I do that?

Yes, that's a good idea

Where?

Alright, the same coffee bar.

Fine

The same coffee bar!

Do you two

have "your song" yet?

- Good morning

- Good morning

- Sit down

- Thank you

Would you like something?

- A coffee?

- Yes, a coffee, thank you

Two, please

- How is Simone?

- He was asleep when I left

I had to wash him last night

I saw numbers on his arm...

- From a concentration camp?

- Yes

He took us here

to the Jewish neighborhood

I wanted to tell you, I called

a policewoman friend of mine

She said there's been no report

of anyone finding an old man

- They know nothing about this

- That's what I thought

She'll let me know if anyone

reports a missing person

- I see you're getting involved

-Yes, a bit

Thank you

- Milk?

-Yes, a drop

No, I don't take sugar

- I can't stay here long

- Alright, we'll hurry

How is it that someone like you

took a stranger home?

It wasn't me. It was

my soft hearted husband

He goes overboard when it comes

to helping someone

In fact, it seemed odd.

With your kids in the house...

What do the kids

have to do with this?

No, I only meant that.

it seemed rather strange

What did you think strange?

What do you know about me?

It's true, I hardly know

anything about you

I only know

that you take your children

to school at 8 every morning

Your friend, who has black

children, is always with you

I know that every night

after you wash the dishes

you stay in the kitchen

to smoke a cigarette

You put out your cigarette

under the tap water

I know you often wander

around the house at night

You go to the window

and look outside

But I don't know what you see

- Good morning

- Good morning

- I'd like some information

- Certainly, what is it?

Would you happen to know

an elderly gentleman

called Simone?

No, no one comes to mind

He's lost, he remembers nothing.

He's staying with her for now

I think he's

a concentration camp survivor

How can you say that?

He has those numbers

on his arm

He stopped here in front

of your shop last night

He knocked on the grating

as if he knew this place

very well

He may be one of your customers

Are you sure his name

is Simone?

It's the only thing

he remembers

- Did you make a police report?

-Yes, but there's no response

Listen, I've worked here

for a very long time

Maybe if you brought him here

I'd recognize him

I'm sorry. We're not looking

for any missing persons here

It seemed the name Simone meant

something to you a minute ago

It struck me because this

lady's brother was named Simone

But it can't be him.

Simone died many years ago

in a concentration camp

Excuse me,

where is your car parked?

- Along the river

- Mine is the other way

Goodbye

- Why was your cell phone off?

- It wasn't, I was at the bar

Maybe it didn't receive there

Look, it's on.

I never turned it off

If you say so

Didn't Simone go out with you

this morning?

Oh sure,

I took him shopping with me

- He wasn't here when I woke up

- Where is he now?

-You said you'd stay with him

- What did I say?

I said I was going to the

cleaners, you stupid sh*t!

-You're really a ball buster!

- I can never trust you!

I know you didn't make a police

report! I'm sick of this!

- It makes me even sicker!

- Then do something!

Take some initiative!

Just one thing!

What am I saying? You can't

even get on the day shift!

Give me time for f***'s sake!

It's a new job!

Do you call checking the gas

on trucks a job? F*** you!

Is it my fault? You forget

I lost the job the auto shop

to a family member.

If it wasn't for the kids

I wouldn't be breathing

gas fumes all night!

You could stop breathing

for what they pay you!

Are you throwing money

in my face now?

I've always had a job!

Who gave you this house, huh?

If I'm correct, if your mother

hadn't passed you the lease...

At least I had parents

who helped us!

True, I didn't have any

But I'm not like you

at least I'm not like you!

Why? What am I?

Go on, say it!

What am I to you?

I'm a failure?

Am I a failure?

Right?!

You're a real b*tch!

My dear Simone,

After you,

red is no longer red

The blue of the sky

is no longer blue

The trees are no longer green

After you,

I have to search for colors

in the yearning I have for us

After you,

I miss even the pain

that made our love

timid and secret

I regret the waiting,

the relinquishing,

the coded messages,

our stolen glances
