Incredible.

A great sportsman.

You can tell.

I see you have an...

athletic body.

Well rounded off...

Nice.

Us missionaries have to be in shape...

to face all adversities,

we have to be... strong otherwise...

It was the summer of my graduation...

A very hot summer...

He picked me up

in his new green Renault 4...

Our first time was in that car.

Blasting De Gregori's music.

We took out

the front seat.

Took it out?

The Renault's seat doesn't lean back.

Don't do that...

A memory should remain pleasant,

not... painful.

I'll be fine.

I hope so.

- And this...

- Cervia?

- No, Cattolica.

- He won there.

I miss him so much.

I miss his sensitivity,

his warmth, his joy.

And his arrogant manhood!

When we touched it was explosive.

Feel, feel...

I'm not joking, feel my heart.

Well, it's normal.

It means his spirit lives within you

and you embrace it.

He never leaves me, like in "Ghost".

Like in "Ghost", that's it.

Let's see these.

It's just tennis courts, I understood.

He always won, so...

I never thought of replacing him,

of loving someone else...

of being happy with someone else...

With you... I feel good.

I'm glad.

- Sorry if I confide in you...

- No problem.

Could be this extraordinary

resemblance...

With Giorgio.

I think I can open up with you.

Do it!

One can say things to you,

and since we've said things...

Said what? You spoke, I didn't.

A man like you, so attractive...

so charming. Energetic.

- Please.

- Yes!

- So interesting.

- No, please, no!

- I'm serious.

- What do you want exactly?

Your celibacy?

A path of self discipline.

- It's cruel.

- It's a duty.

And the urges?

A choice!

- I don't believe it!

- Do!

- I don't.

- Do.

- I don't.

- You must!

- I don't believe it.

- Do.

Believe it! Please, come on!

Believe it! Come on!

But I don't.

Stop the kissing. It's wrong.

Hands off.

Not this!

You've kidnapped me in here. Enough!

I'm fine with Cervia,

with Cattolica,

but not with kisses. And hands off!

Wait!

Sorry.

I was out of control.

How can a shrink

who assaults a priest,

can tell if a family

is reliable or not?

Can you explain that?

No one's around, it's late.

You've locked me up for 8 hours.

Sorry, I was wrong.

You can't question

my professional integrity.

You assaulted me!

You look alike!

Enough with Giorgio!

It's an obsession.

This resemblance

took me by surprise!

Let's say the bullets at home

took us by surprise. All right?

In fact, an exceptional event.

A transfer.

Just stop with this Giorgio!

I've had enough.

Let's put these events to one side,

and help Lara!

You must help her.

You're the only one

who can help her.

The quicker, the better!

Don't disappoint me. Do it quickly!

I'm not Giorgio, I'm Carlo!

Father Carlo!

What did she say?

I told you, I did what I could.

Yes, but...

I did my best!

Enough. Have pity.

No more strength to talk.

You think...

Enough!

Sorry.

Thanks.

Thanks so much.

Welcome.

A call for you.

Telephone!

- Who is it?

- Lara!

Hurry before the line goes dead!

Is it Lara?

Say hello.

How are you?

Fine and you?

We're terrific.

We're all together for Christmas,

we wish you all the best!

Michael wants to thank you

for the present.

Come and say hello

to Uncle Carlo!

How are you?

Thank you for the present.

Thank you for the present.

Kisses, Michael.

Watch poor Mom's precious vases,

with that young man.

Don't worry. It's done.

He's so happy, so excited,

our first Christmas together.

I understand.

Not now!

Please, go to the other room.

Lara do something, tie him up!

Merry Christmas.

How are you?

Lucky you're living there in peace,

it's hell here!

Lara mentioned the surprise?

Which surprise?

Luigi, hurry up. Carlo's here!

- Hurry!

- What's happening?

Hi, Uncle.

You finally look more joyous!

"Rococo" Lolitas!

A positive attitude.

Much better!

Now they're "Manga".

A Japanese trend, I'll explain later.

Where is he?

Here you are!

Merry Christmas!

You're lucky to be there...

in peace...

I said that.

Tell him the news.

You finally got engaged.

Who me? Are you crazy?

Not me, someone else.

Is it a quiz? What's happening?

Michael, be careful!

Hello, Dad. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you, son.

I'll show you a nice surprise.

Come.

See?

Lourdes, she's from Lima.

Nice surprise, right?

Knowing you, Dad,

it's not a big surprise.

Can't hear you...

It's not a great surprise

but I'm very glad...

Can't hear.

Happy for you, Dad!

It's out of synch here,

I can't see you.

I'm happy for you

and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I miss you all.

Dedicated to my father Mario
