First Love Page #4

Synopsis: Vittorio is looking for a woman who matches his ideal. Through a classified ad he meets Sonia, a sweet, pleasant, intelligent girl. However, she weighs 125 pounds -- which according to Vittorio is way too much. A goldsmith by trade, Vittorio is obsessed with the desire to shape Sonia's body and mind as does a fire with gold. Almost imperceptibly Sonia becomes a passive participant and the relationship grows into a reciprocal masochistic game. When the two lovers isolate themselves in a country house in the Veneto hills, they dangerously lose touch with reality and the rest of the world.

Know how much fasting you'll have|to do, how many calories they are?

Then why do you do it?

Are you calm now? You sure?

Take her out of here.

Let's go.

Stop it! Stop it!|Come with me.

How dare you!

Knock it off!

No, no!|No mashed potatoes...

I want to eat whatever I want!

- Take her out of here.|- No!

I said no mashed potatoes!

- Calm down! - Please,|give me some mashed potatoes!

Please!

You'll never fit into this anyway.

Look what you forced me to do!

Come back here!

Get back over here, please.

You want to eat? Eat.

Eat!

What the hell should I do now?

Tell me, what am I to do with you?

I can't trust you anymore.|Right?

You really disappointed me.

Say something, please.|Nod your head yes.

- Let me go.|- Say something!

I can't let you go, Sonia.

You do understand|that's not possible?

Plus, go where?

I'd run after you, Sonia.

I left nothing behind,|I have nothing to lose.

Remember how you were?

Do you remember?

- Say something once in a while.|- Yes, I remember.

You're a different person, but you're|not even a different person yet.

You're nothing, Sonia!

I'll be nothing too,|if you leave.

Do you understand this?

Do you?

- Speak!|- Yes, I understand.

So you also understand|I can't let you go.

(Don't be afraid.)

(Nothing irreparable|has happened.)

(l could've died,|but it's not your fault.)

(We got it all wrong.)

(We tricked ourselves into thinking|we could make it.)

(A mind,|always together with a body,..)

(..and I shouldn't have|left you alone.)

(Your body wanted to eat,|not your mind.)

(Weight... doesn't matter,|it's something more specific.)

(The same volume,|but gold weighs more.)

(My dad taught me this.)

("lf you can lift the ingot|without moving it, it's yours.")

(And I couldn't, I didn't understand.|Something so small, but so heavy.)

(To remove everything, Sonia,|to burn everything, to melt the ashes.)

(ln the end,|only what truly counts, remains.)
