We Can Do That Page #6

Synopsis: Set in Italy in the early 1980s the film follows Nello (Claudio Bisio), the recently hired director of a newly developed work cooperative of former mental patients. After the closure of state psychiatric hospitals and asylums in Italy under the Basaglia Law many former patients were left with few resources and little hope of reintegrating into society. With the intention of actually improving the lives of his pupils, rather than just sedating them, Nello encourages them to expand their individual abilities and explore the wider world around them although, regardless of intention, there is sometimes a price to pushing boundaries too quickly. "We can do that" maintains a sometimes troubled, but ultimately unwavering faith in human nature and human potential.

with fines to pay.

I don't know,

maybe for a couple of months.

It's all yours, even the map.

You always fall for it.

The work done by Mr. Trebbi

with Co-operative 180 is positive.

The activity of the Co-operative

helped all its members

and cannot be linked to

the suicide of Mr. Sergio Bordoletto.

- Why did you write this?

- It's what I think.

I found improvement

I never thought possible,

what you do works

and so, you should continue.

You made a mistake with Gigio,

but we all make mistakes.

If I'd worked with you,

maybe it wouldn't have happened

and so it's my fault too.

It's Dr. Furlan's fault,

Luca's fault for fighting,

the girls' fault for kissing him.

Guilty feelings are useless.

Learn the lesson

and roll up your sleeves,

we need you here.

The farmstead is still unrented.

I can't,

this thing was too big for me,

I'd become like Ossi,

I'd balk at every move.

Working with hardship cases,

you know some won't make it.

I'm sorry,

I need to do a job

where if I cock-up, it's best.

Thank you.

Hi members, how's it going?

Coming back?

I can't, I have another job.

If you leave me, it's not fair.

So, you're healed?

I'm not ill, I'm fine,

I have a nice job,

some plants.

I'm happy.

I'm off, take care!

Wait!

These will make you laugh.

You a**holes!

When a guy's asleep,

you should wake him up.

MEMBERS MEETING:

- Where are you going?

- To talk with Mr. Nello.

- You can't.

- Yes, he's our friend.

Mr. Nello!

What are you doing here?

Luca, you're up? How are you?

I'm fine.

- How does it look on me?

- Lovely.

We voted for the parquet in Paris,

we'll do it with no salary.

I voted first.

Who the f*** let you all in?

I give you charity

and you bring me these mental cases.

- Watch your words.

- Go take a sh*t!

- Everyone out!

- They're leaving now.

- May I point out...

- You've busted my balls, lunatic.

This is just for starters,

if you get up, you get another,

get up, show me.

You're crazy.

I know.

Come on guys, let's go.

Hey, we've booked the restaurant.

It's Saturday and

we're the only two working.

We have to deliver twenty tables,

three chairs and 216 panels,

do you see the panels?

There are 215, you can go.

I'm not coming, I can't decide

on the first course.

Get the triple, it delicious.

Do we have to leave

a tip at the restaurant?

- Yes.

- I'm not leaving anything.

If you don't leave a tip,

you're a nobody.

Ossi, I need six bags of maple

for Thursday.

Luisa, there's a shift change...

Stop, it's a holiday.

You have a meeting

with the French on Tuesday.

- I'll go wash up.

- On Tuesday I have dinner with Sara.

You can't stand up the French...

It can't be done, read my lips.

Guys, come take a look.

Please get out, members.

You weren't coming today,

but on the 1st at 11.

No, they were to come

on the 11th at 1.

We need a speech.

The president wants to speak to you.

Great speech, President, sir.

This film was inspired

by many real events:

among which,

the social cooperatives of the 1980s,

founded to provide work for those

released from insane asylums.

Among which was the Cooperative

"Noncello" in Pordenone,

where they laid parquet

and the directors told their members

"it can be done".

In Italy today there are

more than 2.500 social cooperatives,

giving work

to nearly 30.000 disabled members.

This film is dedicated to them.
