I think we did.

When are you coming back?

Don't know yet.

It's the right place right now.

Do you know what Palermo means?

No idea.

- The Mafia Capital?

- Very funny.

It means "big harbor",

mother of all harbors.

Call if you need anything.

See you.

"Alley of Death."

Such a nice camera!

It worked for 40 years.

I also have a Leica.

Are you a photographer?

I photograph Palermo.

Life. Death.

You photograph death?

There's a lot of death in Palermo.

To honor the dead, to remember them.

So their memory won't be lost.

Tell me of your work,

it's better.

My work?

How do you say...

I am...

lost.

I understand what happens.

Isn't it beautiful?

That mountain!

Yes, it is beautiful.

So that was it...

The coup de grce

has finally come...

He fell in!

He was hit! He fell in the water!

There's no projectile.

It's madness jumping in that filth.

Look, he's faking it.

He has no injuries at all.

He has to go to the hospital anyway.

Frances, it's me.

You can keep the house

as long as you want.

Eat some blackberries in the garden

and relax.

Take care.

"The Triumph of Death" in Palermo.

Spare me that meaningful look, painter.

You weren't hit by an arrow.

The stuff you painted, I lived it!

How are you?

Wonderful, and you?

It is condemned.

You can't come in here.

You can't come in here!

How much time has passed?

A couple of days?

A week, or two?

For me an eternity.

For the first time in a long while

now is just...

now!

Maybe everything

will last longer again, now!

Maybe

I can see you better... now.

and you me...
