Stop it, get off! Mario,,,
Ma, tell 'im to stop it,
THE GIRL FROM TOMORROW
Again? Lia, you should know better at your age!
- See what he's doing? - You sit down!
Stop fighting with him all the time,
It's late, get a move on,
Get this coat on,
Ma, d'you think he'll choose me this year?
Let's hope so, my angel,
You say your prayers,,,
and let's hope he hears,
- Hey, Lia? - What?
- Take this to the Virgin Mary, - Yes,
And do your coat up,
Your scarf,,,
Put it on your head!
Tie it up!
Come straight home when you finish!
Not this year either,
I'm glad,
Ma's still gonna make you go to Mass,
It would've been nice for you to see me,
So now I've got an excuse not to go,
She'll make you come anyway,
I'm not coming,
"Mary,,,"
"as Joseph's bride-to-be,"
"found herself pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit,"
"Joseph planned to cancel the wedding secretly,"
"And thus,"
"the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream,,,"
Stop it,
"Saying: 'Joseph,"
"son of David,"
"fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife,"
"She"
"will bring unto the world a son"
"and you shall call him Jesus,"
"And when Joseph woke up,"
"he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him,"
"and embraced Mary as his wife,"
"This is the word of the Lord,"
"Thanks be to God and Christ,"
"Let us pray,"
Give me the bag,
"Mass is over, go in peace,"
"Praise be to God,"
How you doing?
Pietro, wait I can't find my bag,
Where could it have got to? Gimme a hand,
- Seen my bag? - No,
Dinner's ready,
- Mario, come on, - His feet are all crooked,
Poor thing's got crooked feet, he must've hurt himself,
We'll fix him later,
Sit down,
"In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,"
Do you want an egg?
Good boy, Harder,
Potatoes came out nice and sweet, Pa,
We need to harvest the cabbages tomorrow,
Why don't you stay home with me tomorrow?
To do what?
Don't you worry, I'll find you something to do,
You can keep me company, mother and daughter,
I wanna go with Pa,
This is shameful,
you getting your hands dirty in the mud when your Pa is there to work,
Your brother will be doing it soon, too,
- Why? - What?
What's wrong?
Let her work if she wants to,
Lia,,,
are we going to have a problem?
You're the one with the problem,
I didn't like him six months ago when he left, and I still don't now,
We don't have anything to do with those people,
See what you have to do,
Lia,
Are you ready?
Put this on,,,
Come on, it's late,
- Orlando? - Pietro,
Or should I say "Lord Mayor"?
Ah, you're the only one left who calls me that,
Ma'am? Little Mario, Lia,,,
All grown up!
I guess that means we've grown old,
If we don't hurry, they'll leave without us,
Aren't you coming?
No, we're going to Palermo for a concert,
- Oh, lucky you, - Lia,,,
It was a pleasure meeting you,
- Stop being so familiar, - What's wrong?
- See you soon, - I do hope so,
I'll put some vegetables aside for you,
That's kind, Pietro, thank you,
Goodbye,
Let's go,,, walk ahead with your brother,
A concert? Why aren't they coming to the procession?
And you invite him to our house!
Just think! What if people see us with them!
Are you kidding?
If it wasn't for him they would've taken all our land, your "people",
Don't forget what he did for us when he was mayor,
Let's go,
- Lia, there's a free rope, come, - No, you go, Ma,
Come on, you hold it,
Walk!
I'm walking,,, What Christian spirit!
You walk yourself!
Great,,,
Why did you go all the way to Germany?
No reason,
I'm not kidding,
Here,
You just disappeared, leaving me here,
No, Lia, don't say that, I never stopped thinking about you,
You're the reason I came back,
- Really? - You're the reason,
You came back for some girl you've seen three times?
Why, are you just "some girl"?
You're you, Okay?
Then if you came back for me, tell me why,,,
Why what?
Why you went to Germany?
No reason,,, To learn the language,
- Idiot, - It's true!
Languages are important, I learnt loads of words,
Guten Morgen,,,
Ich liebe dich,,,
- That make you laugh? - What's it mean?
I love you,
Who did you say it to?
What do you mean? I'm saying it to you!
- You sure? - You think I'd lie?
Did you learn the language well or do you have to go back?
I ain't going nowhere, I'm staying here,
Got some important things to take care of,,,
Like?
Can I have a kiss?
- You want a kiss? - No one can see us,
You can kiss me on the cheek,
I've gotta take care of you,
That's all,
I've gotta take care of these hands,
You shouldn't be ruining them picking vegetables,
No more,
I like picking vegetables, I do it 'cause I want to,
We'll get a house,
fill it with vases, flowers, plants, whatever you like,
I don't want your hands ruined anymore, and that's that,
We'll take care of your father, too, don't worry,
Forget about Pa, he doesn't want to know about us,,,
He doesn't want to know? Well, we'll make him know,,,
That father of yours,,,
We'll come here a few days, no one'll see us,
and the deed's done,
We'll sort everything,
What's this thing?
What?
- Who gave it to you? - This?
No one, I bought it myself,
- You sure? - Course,
Show me,
I don't want you putting these things in your hair!
You going around, dressed all dolled up,,, It's not stuff for you,
You look better like that, simple,
I don't like it,
- I need to go to the procession,,, - Wait up! Forget the procession,
Slow down, there's time,
- No, I wanna go home, - Hold on,
Let's meet here tomorrow,
That's your answer!
Lia,,, see you here tomorrow,
I'll be here at 4,
What are we gonna do, Lia?
I haven't done anything, Pa,
They're not good folks,
- Trust me, - Do you trust me?
Of course,
Then I trust you too,
- Don't talk to those folks, - I got nothing to say anymore to them,
You won't be coming here no more,
Why not?
It's his pride,
He's too proud, that's his problem,
You should've seen how he looked at me,
all stuck-up,
Let's see what he's got to say when I come back with his daughter
ready to get married, That hick!
That's his problem, that he's a hick,
Stubborn as a mule,
His daughter such a beauty,
and he's a poor yokel,
What's wrong?
You worried?
No need to worry, I'm getting married,
not going off to war,
I'll still look out for you, I won't forget you,
I'll still put work your way,
I'll leave the money here,
I'll leave a bit extra,
Since I was away,
and because it's Christmas,
Buy yourself something nice from me,
Right?
- Who is it? - Everything's ready for tomorrow,
Okay, see you tomorrow,
Antonino and Cusimano are out here waiting,
Then make 'em wait! Tell 'em to take a walk,
- You going tomorrow then? - Yeah, but we'll be back in a few days,
don't you worry,
Bet that tramp would never've imagined
that Lorenzo Musicò would marry his daughter,
He should build a shrine to me,
He hits oil, and he complains about it!
And does his daughter want to marry Musicò?
She wants to marry a Musicò, we love each other, don't you worry,
Jealous?
That's life, sugar-pie,
If you hadn't been damaged maybe I'd've married you,
Good morning, Careful, it's wet,
I can see that,
I guess I'll just mop it again,
Coffee's ready, it just needs heating up,
I'm not hungry,
- You drink coffee, not eat it, - Really?
I'm not thirsty,
As you please,
Not hungry, not thirsty,,,
You're not being punished here,
I know that you told Pa to make me stay at home,
- That's not true, - Oh really?
No, me and your Pa decided together,
And that's that!
And there are things,,,
that a young lady ain't meant to do,
You're a big girl now,
Sure, I'm a big girl and I have to stay home and help you clean,
What I mean is that you're a young lady,,,
and you have to be careful what folks say about you,
And we've got your Pa to work, so you don't have to,
What's Pa got to do with it? I do it because I want to,
I don't care, it doesn't look good,
It doesn't look good to you or to other folk?
It doesn't look good, and that's that,
That's enough with all this arguing, Lia,
I've had enough!
Get your shoes off the bed,
- Good morning, ma'am, - Good morning,
- Isn't your husband home? - No, what do you want?
Ma, shut that door! Now!
Lia run!
Put me down!
Let's go!
Get off me!
What are they doing?
We just came on a little day trip, Pa's gonna pick us up soon,
Put it there,
I don't want to stay here, it's cold,
I don't want to stay here,
Let's go home, Please,
Let him go home, he's got nothing to do with this,
He's the one that wanted to come, he wouldn't let go of you,
I'm here, let him go home,
No problem I'll ask Tindaro,
- Tindaro? - What?
Bring the kid back to his father,
See?
Now you get back to Ma and Pa and tell them I'll be home soon,
that everything's okay and they mustn't worry,
Hurry up,
- What about you? - I'll be right there,
Come on, let's go home,
Come on, sit down,
Go on,
Sit down,
Pietro, put that gun down!
What happened?
Tell me, What did they do to your head?
Where are the kids?
They came and took Lia and Mario, both,
- I'm going to the police, - No, Pietro,
you mustn't disturb the police because youngsters have eloped,
Eloped?
Eloped? They took my son,
they hit my wife on the head,
I thought they'd come to me, I didn't think they'd come here,
Listen, the kids knew
that you wouldn't have agreed to let them wed,
So they decided to tell you once the deed was done,
Not hungry?
I don't get you,,, I dunno,
I don't see what your problem is,
Is it because of your Pa?
You'll see that when we set him up with a nice house in the village,,,
a big, new one,,,, He'll be fine with this,
Trust me,
So quit acting like that,
Plus, Lia, the damage has been done,
We're here now,
It's as if we were married,,
Have you decided what flowers you want in church too?
No, we'll decide that together,
Let me go home,
- Mario, - Ma,,,
Greetings, sir,
Don Gaetano wants to invite you to celebrate the engagement,
- You coming? - Give me back my son,
Of course, as soon as they get back, we'll arrange it,
Pietro, please put away that rifle,
I'm going to the police,
To the good health of these two families united together today by the grace of God,
Cheers,
Don't be so harsh with your daughter, Pietro,
Young people's needs must be heard,
Especially when it comes to love,
Right?
And don't worry, nobody will know they eloped,
They'll have a church wedding soon, as if nothing had happened, Good?
Captain,,,
Shall we make this official?
Mr Musicò Lorenzo, unmarried,
and Miss Crimi Rosalia, unmarried,
both declare their union to be consensual,
Neither are engaged or married to other parties,
And thus, all allegations of kidnapping and other misdemeanors,
as reported by Crimi Pietro,
are to be considered null and void,
in accordance with article 455,
of the penal code,
as Mr Musicò
agreed to marry Miss Crimi,
A signature here,,,
and we can throw out this police report,
Here,
Come on Lia, do it,
Sign,
Sign the papers,
You can go to jail,
I ain't signing nothing,
What will folks think?
That I'll disown my own daughter?
We'll do what Lia wants,
All of us,
Why are you talking like that?
Because that's what I've decided,
I don't give a damn what folks think,
Pietro, I agree with you,
I only want what's best for my daughter, like you,
What do you think,,,
She's so young,
she has no idea what's coming,
What shall we do?
I don't know,
Don't worry,
I'll take care of things, Don't worry,
Don't worry, we'll fix this thing,
Has the date been set for the hearing?
It's in November,
but I don't know if we'll make it,
We can't find a lawyer,
That's to be expected,,,
You're taking a Musicò to court,
Who's winning?
Depends who you ask,
Orlando, I know you're retired,,,
but maybe,,,
you can give us a hand,
Pietro,,,
I haven't practiced law in years,
I'd only make things worse,
you know that I don't have the best reputation,,,
I don't care what folks think,
They look down on us too, but we're good people,
It would only harm Lia,
If she's to have a chance to win this case, it's not with me representing her,
Lia's is a complex case,
you need a figure with authority, but I,,,
I've got a bad reputation,
I'll help you find the right person,
Are you cold, my angel?
If you're cold, put this on tonight,
No, leave it on,
- You have to sleep, - No, leave it on,
It can't stay on all night,
I said leave it on,
- You can't, - Yes, I can,
What's going on?
I don't want her to sleep with the lamp on, it's dangerous,
I want to leave it on,
Leave it on, just for tonight,
Something could catch fire! Are you crazy?
I'll stay here, I'll keep an eye on it,
Don't worry,
You know,,,
this court case will be here before we know it,
We have time,
You think we have time,
With all this cold, it seems like time is standing still,
But it's ticking away,
And just as the baby birds are born,,,
before we know it, the leaves have turned red,
And the red leaves,,,
will see the start of the trial,
I just want to make sure you're ready,
I'm ready,
Good,
No, leave it on, please,
Five minutes,
I'll think about it,
I'm going to bed,
I'll check on your Ma,
Pa,,,
Can I work with you tomorrow?
Seeing as I don't have to learn to be a housewife with Ma anymore,
Can I work with you?
What are you doing, Lia?
Leave it, there's nothing left to save,
We can't establish willful harm,
because sometimes a herd of cows grazes where it shouldn't,
You think cows graze at night?
I'm sorry,
I want to report Musicò anyway,
Listen to me,,,
Try to resolve your issues with the Musicò family,
And leave the girl at home tomorrow,
I appreciate your time,
but mind your own business,
Let's go,
Come on, Mario, eat,
- I don't like it, - Are you going to bed without supper?
And you can't even eat tomorrow morning,
we have to go to confession with Don Zaina, Come on, eat up,
I don't want to eat, I don't like it,
Shut up and eat, Mario,
I'll take you to church tomorrow,
You in church?
Why?
Why not?
Can't I get some fresh air?
- Can I have an ice-cream now? - No, we're going home,
Ma always gets one for me after confession,
Do you have to go back to church to confess another lie?
Miss Lia,,,
Remember me?
Do you smoke?
- Mind if I,,, - No,
I'm sorry about what happened, I really am,
Orlando,,,
he told me about,,, Because,,,
My work,,,
- Does Orlando,,,? - Oh, goodness, no! Not Orlando,
He's just a friend,
Maybe my only friend,
He doesn't even like women,
When he was mayor, he helped me and we stayed friends,
He paid a high price, because when people found out
that he'd helped someone like me, everyone turned against him,
He said there's going to be a court case,
Maybe,
Musicò used to,,, visit me,,,
Lorenzo,
I don't want to speak out of place, I just want to,,,
Do you really not smoke?
Lia, Mario? I'm home,
I live behind the hospital in Via Aminta,
I'm always alone before 1 o'clock,
If you want to come,,,
Why did you come to see me?
You're doing the right thing,
Where's Mario?
- Inside, - Who were you talking to?
Do you see anyone here?
Come inside, your Pa's there with the lawyer,
Hurry,
We want this to go to court,
This could be a revolutionary case, it could create a precedent,
Would you like a seat?
So why don't you take it to court yourself
this prestigious case?
Mr Ragona,,,
There's no doubt that our standing is very different,
You are an authority in the legal field,
I,,,
am aware of the effects
that some of my decisions have had,
And this would be detrimental to Lia in a court of law,
We shouldn't even have come to this,
Eloping has always existed,
but it's not something to be dealt with by the courts,
Marriage exists
to repair the damage to the girl's honour,
And Musicò offered to marry her,
The law courts are not the right place for the girl,
especially during a trial like this,
Whoever heard of private matters of the heart
being put before a judge?
If he don't want to help me, he can just get the hell out of here!
Folks say he's the best lawyer in Sicily,
If he helps us, we'll make a good impression in court,
You only care about what people think!
Good impressions! What folks think! It's always about what others think,
I just want things to work out for you,
If we have to make a good impression,
so he can work better for you,
that's fine,
It's fine,
Come on, bite me,
- Bite me hard, - I'll bite him hard!
Happy Good Friday,
Happy Good Friday, and happy Easter,
Welcome,
Happy Good Friday,
- Happy Good Friday, - Thank you, the same to you,
Today is a special day,
Christ died for our sins,
Whoever enters this church must at least recognise their sins
and ask for forgiveness,
Let's go, Lia,
Come on, Mario,
- Let's go, - Happy Easter Friday,
Come on, please come in,
Happy Good Friday,
Not too much, I said, That's enough,
You're not missing out on anything,,,
Believe me,
Ma let Mario eat dessert on Good Friday,
That says it all,
He's a child, what sins does he need to atone for?
Him?
See why I wouldn't be a good lawyer?
You'd be better than that nincompoop,
I can't stand him,
He's very,,,
conservative,
But that'll help you in court,
If you still want to take it to court,
I'd like to go to court with a friend,
not some idiot who stinks of aftershave,
Can't you come with me?
Why, are we friends now?
You're always at my house,
Actually, you're at my house,
I don't know,,,
I don't know, because friends always do things together,
What can the two of us do?
What do you like doing?
I like walking through the countryside,
until I get lost,
The only problem is that then I find myself,
Do you like snail hunting?
No, please, snails make me sick,
- I love them, let's go together, - They really make me sick,
- Have you ever tasted them? - No,
Then how can you say you don't like them?
Okay, let's go snail hunting together,
I know a great place to go snail hunting,
- Good, - Know what it's called?
Snailtown,
Is it far?
Don't tell me you're a nincompoop too, like that other one?
Maybe a bit,
See? We can stay home too,
There are lots of things to keep us busy, no need to go out,
We'll do what we need to out here,
then we'll go back indoors,
I have passed, Ma! I've passed!
Good boy!
What happened? You're all wet,
- Let's go to the beach, - Where?
- To the beach, - The beach?
No, we can't go,
But you promised! All my class is going!
I know, but,,,
- We'll see later, - Please,
Mario, Ma is right,
why do you want to go to the beach when you have this?!
That's enough!
Enough kidding around, always playing,,,
All the time!
The gound'll get all wet,
Become muddy,,,,
You'll get filthy,
You come here, get in the sunshine,
Want to go for a swim?
Come on!
Of course,
everyone goes to the beach during the day,,,
But when do special children go?
- During the day? - At night,
Of course,
- Look,,, - Yes, but,,,
Pa's setting up over there,
But it's our little secret, you mustn't tell anyone,
Come on,
This goes here,
But there's no sunshine, we don't need the umbrella, Pa,
What do you mean?
See the moon over there,,,
- Do you want to get burnt? - No,
Well then,,,
So sit down in the shade,
we'll put sun cream on,
- It's cold, - It's not cold,
Let's see if it's cold,
You're right, it is cold,
But the water's warm,
- I hope so, - Let's go and see,
- You want to go for a swim, don't you? - Hmm,,,
Take these off,,,
and this,
I'll take my shoes off,,,
and let's go,
- Nice? - It's really warm,
- Come on, Pa, come on, Lia, - Nice and warm,
Pietro, Lia, come,
What are you waiting for?
- It's nice and warm, - I'll just dip my toes in,
What are you scared of?
Go on, swim,
He's making a wish to the moon,
- Done? - Hold on,,,
- Okay, - What was it?
Can't say,
Can't you tell your Ma and Pa?
No, it's a wish, I can't tell anyone,
You make a wish too,
Wish for what!
Close your eyes,
No, really, I'm glad you came,
Let's get a coffee on for you,
It's nice here,
Tindaro,,,
You know we were engaged?
Then what happened, happened,
but he didn't want to marry me,
He said I wasn't good enough to take to the altar,
I was only good enough to take to bed,
And so that's what I did,
How do you do it?
People don't see the real you anymore,
You've just become what you do,
But that's not how I feel,
If I felt how other people see me, I'd lose myself,
Have you found a lawyer?
Ragona Carmelo,
Ragona Carmelo? It can't be,
I don't even wanna think about it,
Because when I think about being defended by an idiot like him,,,
But last night,,,
I heard he was hired by the Musicò,
They said he can stay at home
until the trial begins,
He don't even need to stay in jail,
No jail,
Come here Mario, let me sit,
We'll find another lawyer,
Another lawyer?
If we haven't found one in all this time, how can we find one in two months?
I don't even know if I wanna go to court anymore,
-What? -What's for? Even you don't believe in it,
Is that what you think?
If you believed me, you'd be defending me!
Lia, I was thrown out of politics,,,
because I don't have a wife,
I just wanted to get you someone with a good reputation, a solid one,
But okay,,,
I'll represent you in court,
I'll be your lawyer,
But you've got a bad reputation,
I guess that makes two of us,
Come on, have a glass of wine,
Yes, thanks, just a drop, Pietro,
When we go in, I'll call you to testify first,
And you tell the judge,
that you didn't agree to anything,
That you knew nothing, That's all you have to say,
Ready?
Are you ready?
Hurry up,
We'll be late,
Orlando, why's he here?
You said only the judge would be here,
All rise!
Come with me,
Try not to look at him,
Take your coat off,
Pretend he's not there,
Are all parties ready to proceed?
If I may, Your Honour, I'd like to express a wish before proceeding,
Please do,
In order to clear my client's name
of the slanderous accusations he has been charged with,
we would like to ensure maximum transparency for this trial,
We therefore request that the courtroom be open to the public,
Your Honour,
an intimate and delicate issue is under examination,
My learned colleague, it was your idea to bring a private issue
into a public courtroom,
Approach the bench, please,
Counsel Ragona's request seems reasonable,
indeed, perhaps necessary in this case,
I feel this trial should be heard before an open court,
Thank you, Your Honour,
This trial will be heard before an open court,
For mutual interests of transparency,
- Who the hell are they? - They'll be sitting in,
- What for? - Lia,,,
- Get them off your mind, - Counsel Orlando,
are you ready to call your first witness?
- Ready? - Forget it
Lia, just look at me and the judge, do you understand?
Counsel?
You told me I'd only have to speak to the judge,
but this place is crowded,
We need to start with you,
Counsel Orlando, can we start?
Do me a favour!
Are you serious?
What do you think?
Your Honour,
our first witness is
Mr Crimi Pietro,
Mr Crimi,
let's get straight to the point,
Did you ever give permission
for an official engagement between your daughter and Mr Musicò?
No,
I didn't like him,
A simple yes or no answer, please, Mr Crimi,,
And did Musicò,,,
ever come to ask you
for your daughter's hand in marriage?
No,
So there was never an official engagement?
Never,
No further questions, Your Honour,
Mr Crimi,
did you have lunch at the Musicò residence
on January 6th, 1967?
Yes,
Could that not be considered an engagement lunch?
Argumentative, Your Honour,
Reformulate the question, Counsel,
Mr Crimi, is it true
that you had lunch with the Musicò family
a few days after your daughter
and Mr Musicò returned to the village?
Yes,
And why would you have attended this lunch
if you had no intention of giving your blessing to their marriage?
Objection, A speculative question,
I'm merely trying to prove to the court
how Mr Musicò could have been misled
by Mr Crimi's ambiguous behaviour,
Mr Crimi, please answer the question,
I'd never let my daughter marry that man,
The Musicòs threatened us,
They forced us to go to that lunch,
What does this one say?
"A time for justice"
"for the girl from Galati!"
I'd say this is definitely in the public domain now,
I don't want Lia to see these,
See what?
Here we go,
Pay no attention to what the papers say,
They'll write anything to sell more copies,,,
You came out real bad in this picture, Ma,
Well, look at the face on you!
What about you!
Not great, that photographer,,,
Right, it's the photographer's fault,,,
Or maybe it's that your mom didn't put any make up on,
Here's another one,
No one took a picture of you,,,
I'll take these with me,,,
Mr Musicò,
you declared that Miss Crimi
Agreed to elope with you, Is that correct?
Yes,
Then can you explain to me
why you turned up at the Crimi household
with four armed men?
Answer, Mr Musicò,
Tell us why you showed up with four other men,
Your Honour, Lia and I
were in love,
But her father objected,
so we agreed
on this plan of action,
Did it ever occur to you that Miss Crimi
might not be in agreement?
No, absolutely not,
First of all, because a respectable girl,
at first,
always puts up some resistance, and that's right,,,
It's the decent thing to do,,,
Second, Lia and I had already consumated in the past,
That's not true!
Things that all young people do, all couples,
- It's normal, Your Honour, - That's a lie! And you know that!
- Look at me in the face when you say it, - Lia, please,
Let the record show this exchange,
Enough, Ma,
I wanna go home,
This is humiliating,
It's humiliating because they're the only ones talking,
And you're not telling your side,
It doesn't matter what they say,
What matters is what you are,
When you tell your truth,,,
It's not humiliating anymore,
Tell them,
Tell them your truth,
They're in charge here,
How am I supposed to feed my kids now?
Tell me!
Lia, you need to speak,
If you don't speak up, Lorenzo's testimony
becomes the truth,
- I understand your pain, Lia, - No, I don't want to speak,
Truth comes at a cost, Lia, and unfortunately we need you to speak,
He had everything planned,
How do you know, Ines?
He was with me the evening before,
I heard all about it,
Ines, I'll talk to the judge tomorrow, and we'll get you to testify,
Father?
I'm sure she's just outside,,,
- All rise, - Come on, Ines,,,
Right,
let's try to bring this hearing to a close today,
Counsel Orlando?
Yes,,, Your Honour,,,
We,,,
we find ourselves writing the final act of this trial,
one that for many people
should never even have seen the light of day,
But if we're here today, it's thanks to the courage,
to the determination, of this family,,,
Counsel, will you call your witness?
Of course,,,
Your Honour,
And the witness we are about to call
is a person who will be offering her testimony
in an act of great,,,
Counsel Orlando, your witness!
Your Honour, we would like to request a brief interval,,,
No intervals, Counsel,
You did something!
That's why you're here, you wretch!
Why isn't Ines here?
Have you lost your mind?
Order! Order!
Your Honour, can we really doubt the decency
of my client, based on the declarations
of a girl who is so hysterical as to attack a ministry of God?
Are we going to play the hysteria card now?
That's enough,
Today's session is suspended,
I'll drive you to Palermo,
- Lia! - Take Mario, hide under the bed!
What was that? Get away from the window,
Move!
- Were you hit? - No,
What does it say?
- Don't worry, Pa,,, - I told you to read it to me,
What does it say?
"The next one will smash your head in,,,"
"and your daughter's too,"
- Get your coat! - No Pa, what are you doing?
- Get your coat! Now! - Why?
- Because we're getting out of here, - Hold on, Pa, wait,
And we even have our Nativity scene,,,
Let's set it up here by the fire,
Who have we got here?
Hello, donkey, hello cow,
- I found them! - This one too,
Hello,,,
You found some firewood
I forget we had any,
Ah, you lit the fire, well done,
Well, Pietro?
So,,, tomorrow morning we'll jump on a train,
And we'll get to Milan the next morning,
Milan?
- But there's no seaside in Milan, - I know,
Pietro, I don't want to keep asking,,,
But are you sure you won't change your mind?
No, We'll wait for the verdict and then we'll leave,
Orlando, if you had kids, you'd understand,
Lia!
Leave her be, she'll get over it,
What are you doing? Looking for snails?
The snails don't come out in the rain, they come out after,
Listen, Lia,
Tomorrow will be the final session,
then the judge will give his verdict,
You have to testify,
You owe it to your father, your family,,, To Ines,,,
- I don't owe anyone anything, - Lia, please,
Get one thing into your head,,,
The only thing I did
was not marry someone that I couldn't stand anymore,
That's all I did,
I didn't almost kill Ines,
I didn't ruin my Pa's work,
None of this happened because of me I don't owe no one nothing!
You're right, But you owe it to yourself,
Don't you worry, I know what I've gotta do for myself,
I don't need you lot telling me
when to talk or when not to talk,
Stop it! I don't wanna do nothing,
I don't wanna be there tomorrow,
- I don't care about nothing no more! - You don't care about anything?
Okay, fine, then I won't go to court either tomorrow, eh?
How about we just go to the beach?
After all, folks like us weren't made to change things,
We'll dive into the freezing water,
Heads underwater, our mouths shut and we keep quiet!
What do you say, Lia?
What you doing?
- Nothing, go to bed, - I'm hungry,
I'm hungry!
What am I supposed to do?! Eat something,
There's nothing good in this house!
What you looking at?
- It's broken, - So what?
Was it like this when you took it out the box?
- What do you care? - Don't you remember?
What the hell are you doing?
Have you lost your mind, Mario?
Look, they're the same now,
You're happy? Will you go and get me something to eat?
Hey, wake up,
- Let's go, - Where?
To the beach,
All rise,
Counsel Orlando,
- let's begin with you, - Yes, Your Honour,
I would like Miss Crimi to take the stand,
Miss Crimi,
are you looking for moral support? There's no need,
All of us here are family men,
So there's no need for you to look at your mother,
Look at me,
Now, Miss Crimi, in your own words,
can you tell us what happened
on the morning of December 29th, 1966,
I was at home with Ma and my brother,
Pa was at work,
I usually go with him, but I stayed home that day,
Someone knocked on the door, and Ma went to open it,
It was Tindaro,
So I realised they'd come to take me,
How did you know that?
Because a few days before, Lorenzo asked me to run away with him,
- But you didn't go? - No,
- Why? - 'Cause he's arrogant,
We saw each other a few times
before he was sent to Germany,
Then what happened?
They forced their way in,,,
Musarra, Antonino,
Cusimano and Tindaro,
They came in and blocked Ma,
Then,,, (jumbles her words)
Then Lorenzo grabbed me by the arm,
while Mario was trying to hold me back,
But they took him away too,
Where did they take you?
Some place in the country,
I told them to take Mario home,
the poor kid had nothing to do with it,
And I stayed there,
Miss Crimi,
what happened next?
Then,,, he decided I had to be his,
So he got on top of me,
But did you feel any pleasure at all? Even just a little?
Why is he asking her this question?
No,
Not at all,
But Miss Crimi,,,
you and Mr Musicò met several times
before he left for Germany, didn't you?
Yes,
- Then why did you meet him? - 'Cause he asked me to,
Your Honour, we can't expect to believe that Miss Crimi
agrees to everything Mr Musicò asks,
otherwise we wouldn't be here now,
Why don't you try listening to her?
Miss Crimi,
why did you meet Mr Musicò
if you were not
interested in him?
He asked to see me a few times
and I said yes,
I guess that was my mistake,
Miss, it's no longer just a mistake
when you make the decision
to bring a young man to court,
Forcing him to defend his honor,
That again?
He lost his honor when he decided to get on top of me,
And look at you now,
What you got left to defend?
You Honour, tell the witness not to speak directly to my client,
Incredible how you tell the judge what to do!
You are not the judge, Counsel Orlando,
That's enough!
No, Your Honour, I'm sorry, but I was interrupted,,,
Counsel Ragona, this court has heard enough,
This session is suspended until tomorrow,
Thank you, Miss Crimi, you may leave the stand,
Closing arguments in the Crimi case,
The verdict will be announced tomorrow
where Lia Crimi took the stand against Lorenzo Musicò,
son of the boss Gaetano Musicò,
Today in the final hearing
Lia Crimi testified in front of the courtroom
reiterating to the judge the accusations of kidnapping and violence against her,
The judges of the second criminal section of Palermo
will deliver their verdict tomorrow,
- Make way, - Let us through,
Please!
Please, gentlemen,
All rise,
This has been a somewhat unusual trial,
to say the least,
It therefore required minute attention to detail
and in-depth analysis,
After having examined all the facts and heard the witnesses,
those brought before the court
by both the plaintiff and the defendant,
the court finds
the accused Musicò Lorenzo,
Mancuso Tindaro, Musarra Giuseppe,
Cusimano Fabrizio,
and Baldassarre Antonio
guilty of the allegations
made by Miss Crimi Rosalia,
This court recommends
Musicò Lorenzo serve a term
of eleven years custody in a state jail,
Mancuso Tindaro
is sentenced to eleven years custody,
- Did we win? - Can you believe that?
Musarra Giuseppe is sentenced to eight years custody,
Cusimano Fabrizio,
is sentenced to eight years custody,
Baldassarre Antonio,
is sentenced to five years and six months custody,
- Anybody want coffee? - Not me, thanks,
I'll leave you all to enjoy some family time,
- Good night, - Good night,
Are we still gonna leave?
Let's talk about it tomorrow, eh?
It's been a long day,
I'll take Mario to bed,,,
- Say good night, - Good night,
Night,
Nothing to say, Pa?
We should be celebrating,
We won! Why aren't you happy?
What did we win, Lia?
Tell me, What?
Just 'cause the judge agreed with you,
You wanna know what we won?
Not being able to walk down the street anymore,
I don't wanna leave, Pa,
What kind of life can we live here?
Hiding all the time,
What kind of life is that?
You can't walk down the street,
You can't go to the beach,
I'm proud of you, I really am,
But we haven't won anything,
We can't win against them,
They'll always win,
There, we'll put it this way,,,
otherwise it won't close,
Come on, Mario, help Ma,
Bring that case downstairs,
I made you something to eat on the train,
Thank you,
Sara, Lia, what are you doing? Come down,
Otherwise you'll miss the train,
Come on, Lia, let's go,
The train's leaving and we're still here,,, Well?
So what are we doing? Staying here?
Come on,
