What ? You better tell me the truth. Hurry up. It’s not my fault if it was stolen from me. Not on the head, it hurts. I hit you wherever I want! I’m going to teach you. We’ll sort this out at home. – I won’t go! – Then I’ll drag you there.

Kick your ass! That’s enough ! What does this guy want? Santa Claus, is that your daughter? He would be missing more than that. She’s a moped thief. She never works. I will massacre you. – Let go. – Mind your own business. If I want to beat him up, I do.

– Hands off ! – Mind your own business. It’s okay, step back… Do you want a correction? 4 to 1. – Are you involved too? – It’s my friend. Who will pay for my moped? – How much do you have? – 2,000 liras. More like 1,800.

Think instead to have the brakes checked. Who are screwed up by braking. Where do you come from ? Do you like dancing? Do you like young people like me? You’re not a young guy, you’re married. Don’t be choosy. Married men are more established. You’re crazy ! The hands in the pockets.

She must come from the South, that one. Why are you laughing ? It’s the first time that someone makes me laugh. And someone takes you down. What did I do ? I hurt your feelings ? – Get down! – For a smile? We left the village, there is no one left.

– SO ? – I have to go to Turin. – My mother is dying in the hospital. – It’s true ? So I ran away to go to his bedside. You will bite your fingers for having acted so badly. You have no mercy. She may already be dead. Which hospital?

You have to ask where she worked. Is it nearby? Do you know the address? That’s my business ! – An ice cream ? – It gives you chills. I’ll take one. – Beauty, are there any new products? – Here is. – It tells me anything. – And you ?

– What are you offering me? – I’m engaged. Rejoice, I will marry you. Have you found your happiness? – Are we having a baby this evening? – Let’s see! – You still there ? – To say goodbye. All right. Hold… – Gino, come! – See you tonight. If I find the time…

500 liras of ice cream. – 500 liras? – Yes. You’re afraid your wife will eat you, if I’m not there? It must be my brother-in-law. He has tons of friends. They give him 30 or 40% interest. It would suit us well. How about we go to the bank?

You’re kidding ? Now that we’re here, come in. – Between ! – Piero! – Gino is here. – Good morning. There’s your wife’s whole family. Are you leaving again already? Come on, let’s help ourselves a small cannon. Between. Piero, was the road good? Rosarietta, kiss daddy. – So ! – Where is Luigi?

He’s going to arrive. So, do you have the 30,000 lire? He came to tell you that you would rather have them around Christmas. But double. I knew well that it would end like this. You should never lend money! – I was expecting it today. – Who said that ?

Look at this murderer. He picks on me every day. I have to pay a bill Today ! No one died. Explain everything to the bank. My brother could be wrong. What a moron, that one! How can I get out of this, with you ? They all mess around on my behalf.

And him there with my tie and my jacket on my back. Get naked, you scoundrel. Bye. I’m going. – Who’s in there? – Person. No ! Let me pass ! You’re going to get one. Dad, look what they did to me. He’s doing hair trials on my son? It’s to progress.

You have to practice well. Go away or you’ll die! Come back to my house, and I eat your heart. Happy fool ! Bye Madam. Hello, Piero. Listen, Gino. Wait for me ! And trafficking? She’s at the notary’s. He will pay me, this thief! This son of…

– What is that ? – Did something fall? – What are you doing here ? – Where did you come from? You’re still in our paws. I was sleepy and I fell asleep. What about your dying mother? Fibs. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have taken me to Turin. Listen… Come on !

All right. Am I bothering you that much? Check the candles. Did you hurt your head? Damage ! How much it costs ? If I wanted to buy it… by drafts… What do we decide, then? Don’t put us out of business. 30,000 lire is a lot of money. Come on, that’s never happened before.

It happened in the first month. A tire burst, that’s not common. Quickly, with the carburetor. In 15 days it would be correct. I have costs: taxes, my family, social security. You can’t imagine how I envy you. What should I tell you? That I’m hurt, that I have cancer?

No need to act like a clown, It doesn’t make him laugh. If you get angry, I talk more. Should we stay calm? We work day and night for nothing. We can’t take it anymore. – I could find 30,000 lire. – When ? I don’t know if that will suit you.

It’s not easy to have moneylenders on the banks. For a month they will want 10,000 lira interest. You’re right: it doesn’t suit us. You have until 4 p.m. Do your accounts. You would rather lose the truck or 10,000 lira? Think about it and let me know. Bye. If I could, I…

– I will pay the interest. – How ? Do you want 30,000 lira? Esterina, push yourself. You do not believe me ? I don’t have time to waste. Hold on. So explain to me. I have worked all my life. I even have more than 30,000 lire.

Don’t pay attention to him. Do you really have the money? Do you agree to lend them to us? And what are you giving me? A nice signed receipt, countersigned and stamped. I prefer a milking. Drafts are a scam with complaints, courts, lawyers… My boss got rich from this.

– Mrs miss ? – Bachelor ! So. Sign too. I don’t sign anything at all. Get by with your scribbles. A coffee. Here’s the address. Come to my house, kiss the little ones, greet my wife, collect the milking and leave again. I’m going to your house, I salute your wife,

I take the milking and leave. – Do you want a vermouth? – I do not like that. THANKS. Thanks to you. Hello, Gino. Good bye and thank you. – You are happy ? – No. For what ? You have to help each other. I have to go find somewhere to live.

Do as you like. Tomorrow, shall we spend the day together? It’s really money fell from the sky. I don’t like it at all. You would have preferred that I fly or that I kill someone? Stop your movie. What is done is done. I’ll pay the bill. It was good, though!

Who wants to go to Livorno? – There is freight only for the return. – And there? A few cans of oil for Novi Ligure. Come on, pay for your cigarettes. – I do not smoke. – Me neither. That suits us. When do we leave ? This evening. Starve your hunger! Hurry up, Piero!

An ice cream ? No thanks. Go quickly ! – Give me another kiss! – Stopped. Don’t you dare look elsewhere. However, you almost deserve it. Are you going to the cinema this evening? No I’m tired. Tired? Very tired ? Come on… We like sweet words. We have to go.

– It’s late. – The watch ! – Bye Madam. – Be careful ! You exaggerate : sweet words, kisses… And you’ve been married for ten years! It’s love. Hello, little one! Stop! You were going to fly away with my 30,000 lire. I don’t know Turin, but I found you. Less strong !

I speak as I want. Nobody leaves here. I want my milking! We have to go. So I’m leaving too. Plus, I love traveling. – Otherwise, give me the money back. – Don’t be stupid. Thief ! Get out ! – Rather die. – Cleared ! Move on, we will be heard.

– It is your fault. – Give me back my money. We’ll give them back to you. Now go! Garbage ! You abandon me in the middle of the street. Thief ! We don’t have the money anymore, okay? So sell the truck. Stopped ! Stop! Scoundrels, stop! Thieves! Stop!

You’re crazy ? You deserve a pair of slaps. Unconscious! – We are calm. – Everything is your fault ! You took this contract, approached the girl. Sometimes I want to… You didn’t want to sign the deal. I had no choice. You wanted that they keep the truck?

What if she speaks? Watch out ! – So. – Good evening. – We’re friends with Agent Grossi. – Papers. Next time, we’ll check everything. Thank you so much, but everything is in order. Absolutely everything. Where did you get your license? What’s the matter in the trailer? Look at.

If the cops catch you with a girl… – Where are we ? – I’d give you one. Try a little. – Hello, Gino. – Hi. – At work ! – Will you give me a kiss? The cow ! I hadn’t noticed it. You should have seen her from the beginning.

What did you do to him? She is in a state! A poor woman without a penny in her pocket. We took her hitchhiking. – The crazy girl ! – I will be back. It feels like you’re in the mountains. So. Guys, you forget your lucky charm. I’m coming ! Get started! Hi guys.

Hello, fairy! More than that was missing… Is the tire deflated? You think ? Do what you want, but don’t touch the chickens. Do not worry, I watch them. – Need something ? – That you push yourself. – Don’t touch the chickens, eh? – Esterina, stop! It’s not fun, is it?

What is that thing ? – I don’t know. – It’s a jack. Why are you asking me? Do you know what it’s for? To hit you if you don’t get out of there. – Help me. – Right away. Take that. There are trucks passing there every day.

They steal my chickens, they kill them. I don’t sleep at night, since my bed is shaking. Move! Nice girl. Come help me push it. I’m busy here. It’s nice, isn’t it? What ? To work. Hold that for a minute. So. Something else ? Not for the moment. Go wash yourself.

– For what ? – He looks like a clown. Come. – Why are you making that face ? – I do like you. Here is the basin. The water is very cool. – Do you still have any for them? – There is the well. Which one is yours? between the two ? Guess!

The mustachioed guy is a little too old. Do you want a chicken? I’m not hungry at the moment. Do you want an egg? – And for you ? – I’ll steal another one. You’re not clean yet. Let me do. With the water jet. Hold on, you need to put it higher.

But what are you doing ? Cut everything! It’s not true ! You really have some good ideas. – Let me pass. – Did you fall into the well? No, stay like that. It changes everything. Have you seen what she is like? – Oust! – For a look? A chicken for these young people?

No, just a little water to refresh itself. It’s not much, but hey… Esterina, do you want a hand? Get out ! I’ve seen too much. Is something wrong? – No thanks. – What’s the matter ? Hide, there’s the police. Thin ! A small glass ? Wine is good for the blood.

Come on, tell him. No, I don’t have the courage. Fend for yourself, but I want more of her on board. It was you who trusted to this crazy woman. The crazy girl gave us the 30,000 lire without doing any paperwork. And we are 200 kilometers from Turin.

If you want a girl, The streets are full of them. It’s always me who solves the problems. She’s already in the truck. Go tell him. Let’s go. Right away. Put this on. – For what ? – For change. – Hello Gino. – For what ? Just like that.

– Bye. – See you soon. Come back here on your way back. – Bye Madam. – Have a good trip ! Do you want another egg? No, that’s enough. Drink it, it’s hot. I can not. Drink it! Stop, I’m freezing. It’s freezing cold ! Stop! What is she yelling?

Can I come down? I’m cold. Come down. Shall we have a little coffee? All right. Piero, I have an idea. What time is it ? Wait… It’s 12:45 p.m. We stop here for five minutes. We go straight to Cimiliano. We will be in Livorno tomorrow evening.

– Another night on the road. – I’ll drive. It’s not that. I would love to sleep in a bed. When you’re dead. I feel better now. I thought I would die of cold. Like it was strangling me. Who’s going to strangle you? That’s the effect it has on me. How pretty!

Are you teaching me how to smoke? Hold. You swallow and spit it out. Spit it out! It burns ! It looks like a locomotive. Show me how you do it. A little at a time. I’ll try again. You swallow a little and you spit some out.

– It burns less. – Don’t speak at the same time. – But I smoke more. – For what ? Otherwise I will catch the vice. – Need something ? – No. Wait, I need her! That’s it ! You do not want that I offer it to you, no more?

– I pay half. – Ask him. I don’t sell myself at auction. I’m getting married tonight. Let me come up. I choose. – SO… – You won’t find anything better. Do you have a pretty mouth? A pretty mouth and all the time it takes. Get on! You, step back.

You don’t know what you’re losing. A married woman is like that. Have fun ! That one, she does it almost by eye. It’s cold. I’m going inside. I’m frozen. – What is happening ? – Nothing. SO ? You hurt me !

– What is wrong with you ? – What have I done to you ? – Why did you come up then? – I was cold. Approach. Let go of me ! Now I’m fed up! You’re just a moron! She wants to make me a goat! I go down !

– What’s the matter ? – A golden deal. – Explain to me. – But it’s 30,000 right away. 30,000 lire is not nothing. Come this way. Guardian ! Where are you going like this? Come back that way. Why this light? With that and the music, they eat all the time.

They’re getting fat twice as fast. One day and one night, It’s been like two days. – And then ? – We kill them early. It’s better. – For who ? – Those who kill them and eat them. When we have to die, You might as well act quickly. We’re going crazy here.

I have plenty of pants. You are spoiled for choice. They look so sad. You think ! A whole life in prison! – How many are there? – 22,612. – What if they revolt? – They are locked up. I would not accept a chicken leg. Nobody offers you one. I like yours.

But this one is brand new. But I’ll pay you cash. Turn around and count to 30. I whistle when I’m done. All right ! One. Two… What would you think of a pretty meadow? We are going for a walk ? – Don’t look back. – Take your time.

The first 50% tire and the second at 30. – At 40. – More or less. – How much will you give me? – 10 or 12,000 lire. – 12,000 lire for that? – It’s worth more! You’re the crazy one. I have to give back the 30,000 lire.

We risk staying in a carafe on the road. Or end up in a ditch. – I do not care. – Not me ! The truck is also mine. You don’t sell anything. – Who is the Boss ? – It’s me ! – Here are the tires. – Don’t touch them.

– Pushes you. – Watch out ! I don’t want anything anymore, not a penny anymore. He’s looking for your 30,000 lire. I changed my mind, I don’t want anything anymore. You have wind in your brain. Yes, but I’m good with you. I have fun. I never had any friends.

I want to come with you. I love to travel. I had never gone out from my shell. What shell? It is a way to speak. Everything is free. I don’t want a penny. But don’t leave me. I can help you. Are you still angry? Are you mad at me? No, mine.

It will pass quickly, then. The other, when he gets angry, it rises like milk soup. – How so ? – A real angry person. – Help me. – One to 5,000… This one is worth less than that. – You did not understand ? Air ! – He is crazy.

Let’s say 16,500, and the deal is done. Do you like the tires? But we won’t sell you anything at all. – Nothing ! – Let go ! Loan shark! What does she have to squeal like that? Profiteer! Pirate! Dumbass ! Help ! Close the gates! Close the cages!

– Brake! – For what ? – I’m watching. – Show me. Write to me, my beauty! The look she gave me… You really can’t give up to your little habits? You have to change the tires. Here or in Livorno, it’s the same. Also check the rest. Come on, get lost!

– It’s a physiological need. – Come back by 11 p.m. – Hi ! – Are not you ashamed ? Meet at 11 p.m., in front of the osteria. Let’s go. I can ? Do you see that! – How are you, Mr. Piero? – GOOD. She’s free ? Free like air. Follow me.

No noise. I need peace and quiet. You won’t hear anything. See? I had it repainted the walls last month. – Perfect ! – It’s comfortable, huh? It’s not to brag, but there are few beds like that. When we lie down, we can sleep for three days. So.

What time do I wake you up? Mr. Piero? As late as possible, ma’am. I’m tired. At 10:50 p.m. Alright. Sweet dreams. Turin! Don’t bother! We’re not disturbing there. If we ask you, okay. But don’t look for it. All right. No problem. – What do we do ? – We wait.

We stay here tinkering a little. I’m bored. There’s a cinema behind it, if you want. It’s for lovers. – We are going for a walk ? – It tells me anything. Do you really find me unpleasant? What does that have to do with it? You like your truck, huh? Obviously. It’s mine.

You see, the truck, it’s a wonderful thing. You don’t understand anything about it. I don’t think it’s terrible. It doesn’t talk, it doesn’t laugh. Exactly ! When you have paid for it, you will get tired of it. – No, I will buy another one. – And after ?

10, even 100, if I can. What would you do with it? I would make others work and I would rest. I don’t want to end up like Piero, toil all my life. Nor like my father. He is retired and does not even have enough to buy a drink.

I want to have fun, we only have one life. I don’t want to bother with a wife or kids. And not with a boss either. What are you doing ? Stopped ! They are all dirty. Look, you’re getting angry and you forget your shoes. Pardon. Is this your truck?

Yes Madam. For what ? – He is free ? – It depends on what and how much? Just two hours for a move. – Deal done! – Don’t get involved. How much do you want? You have to see the distance and loading. It’s in town. You won’t even have to charge.

– 4,000 per hour. – Too expensive. – Too bad. – Let’s say 6,000 for two hours. – 7,000 and counting. – Shut up ! Okay, but let’s hurry. I have no time to waste. Madam, I would need a deposit. Hold. You’ll get the rest later. Follow the taxi.

Don’t get involved in these stories! I thought I was doing you a favor. – Next time, shut up. – Next time, I salute you. Turin! What does it mean ? Nothing ! I salute you! They asked me. – Nothing to say. – It happens… Back off! Don’t move forward! Let it pass!

Move around! Clear the way! Come ! Load it up and take it all away. – Or ? – Wherever they want. – Who is it ? – What does it matter to you? Can’t wait until tomorrow? What do I know about it? – SO ? – The old man refuses to go out.

There are five of you, convince him. He got attached at the office door. Ah, old age! How do we do then ? – I’ll try. – Alright. Bandits! Attention. Come on ! I do not like that. Give the money back. I warned you that it wasn’t for you. It’s too late now.

I am leaving, I can’t stand the screaming. You won’t win in Paradise ! I rebel against abuse and injustice. Who are these strikebreakers? The strikebreakers in the service of the devil. She is wrong. – It’s not our fault. – We didn’t know. You can be ashamed!

You are two slaves in the service of this woman! Let’s press. Where should I go? – Or they will ? – At the asylum. – That’s enough now. – Where do I go up? Driver, you will pay me! I curse you. – Why are they chasing you? – Money question.

If you don’t pay, that’s normal. What do you mean I don’t pay? They sell the land to make a building. As big as his face! I’m going to go to her house and drag her through the streets, naked like Mary Magdalene. I’m going to grab it,

Whip her until she bleeds and beat her You will see! I’m going to slaughter her, run over him with a plow. Where do you want to go ? Answer him, he’s in a hurry. Pessimistic! SO ? Calm down, young man. You only obey me. Stopped ! It’s here ! I’ll show you. Tyrants!

Listen to the people! Thieves, scoundrels! You will all drown into the abyss of vice! God, destroy them like Sodom and Gomorrah! Send them the angel with the flaming sword! Thieves! Sold! Well sent! Shut up, there are the cops. Do you want to send me to jail? Why not ? What is happening ?

– He is right. – Pity ! Stop! Stop! Come on, let’s unload everything. A little more, and I was going to prison. – I’m sick of it. – You are right, young man. Leave us here, we will sleep under the stars. That or hell, for me it is the same.

I almost lost my permit and license. Are we abandoning them? Shut up, Esterina. Don’t get involved in this! The children don’t even have a bowl of soup. – Let them pay for it! – With what ? We have empty pockets and empty stomachs. It’s a disaster!

There was more missing than that. I can’t do anything about it! Nothing ? You’re strangling me. Do you hear them crying? You have a heart of stone. Go back up. Are you ordering? Is this your truck? Yes, for 30,000 lire! Are you a co-owner? Anything ! Come. Anyway, we’re waiting for Piero.

The knight with a big heart offers us a drink. How to thank you ? If you were a vine, I will create a river for you. If one day, you want to honor my table, I will offer you wine and soup. You, Esterina, stay with him and marry him. We’re not even together.

It’s bad ! You must not follow bandits. But he makes a good impression on me. You should know that, right? Drop. Don’t separate. Men and women are made to be together. It is always necessary have confidence in life. The watchword is “trust”. Ruin comes from reason. The more we think,

– the less we think. – I did not know. They call me the poet of proverbs. Listen, grandfather. Where should we put your stuff? At my place, of course! Where else? Tomorrow they will return. But it’s his place! Like you want. It’s not what I want, it is justice.

I can’t search another house. Home is over there. It’s not easy to find another house. – It takes years. – Exact ! Let’s go, kids. It’s getting late. Did we find another load? – The holidays are over. – Do not say that ! Come on, work! You can be ashamed.

No, I have a brand new suit. – Perfect ! – Let’s go! What a pretty house! What matters, it’s that it’s mine. Excuse us. Come, if you come back in the corner. Remember that this house is yours. – Come. – Have a good trip. Come back and eat.

– All right. – Stay with us. – I would like. – So stay. You are part of the house, NOW. There will always be a bed for you and a bottle of Bardolino. But be careful. When a girl travels alone with two men, if she doesn’t grab one, she loses her reputation.

You are right. But the snoopers don’t get here. Come back when you like. You are at home here! I will have a bed and a bottle of Bardolino. Always, Esterina. Bye. Stop following bandits. They give you anything in the skull. – I’m coming ! – THANKS. What ? You have a wonderful father.

It’s been going on for 42 years. That’s a man! – Crazy, yes. – Stopped ! – He got his house back. – Until tomorrow. – Didn’t you hear? – Until tomorrow ! He invited me. Even tanks wouldn’t make him move. – Sleep! – If I want to! You’re just a liar!

If life could be so simple… – Are only trucks that count? – What ? People don’t care that you have a truck. What a state he put her in! He’s worth a hundred like you! You think very little of us. You have a wife and you’re cheating on her. It disgusts me !

Where is the report ? For what Didn’t you leave her in Pisa? They would have formed a crazy couple. The bullshit is useful than to break the slab in the street. I’ve had it up to here ! Keep buying trucks. He found his home for not a penny! That’s it, you’ll see…

– Get down! – For what ? – Where are we ? – Go quickly. Tell me where we are. At the port. If we see you, we will have problems. Wait here. You can’t come. – And what do I do? – Think of the old man.

– Are you leaving me alone? – Take a walk. Come on, go! We do not pass ! Nowhere ? What waves! It’s hectic, isn’t it? Look at this gear. Hello Sir. You’re so beautiful ! You have some nice spots. How ? You like compliments. Looks like Boris knows you.

– You are already friends. – It’s easy with dogs. With the cows and the donkeys, it’s harder. – Oh yes ? – They refuse. I did not know. I lived for fifteen years in the countryside. Or we get along with the animals or we die. It’s true ! Sit down.

– A coffee ? – No, it keeps me from sleeping. – A cake, then? – They are good ? Taste it, otherwise we’ll send it back. Boy ! – Yes ? – Listen. – Pastries. – Right away. Do you like the countryside? Trees and mountains.

You have to take your time, in the mountains. It’s treacherous! And what does your husband think? He hasn’t been born yet! You’re from the North, aren’t you? What are you doing ? – I travel. – What a great idea! Alone ? Almost. I look for a servant’s job.

– No water. It breaks bridges. – An aperitif. The two truckers are good for nothing. It would be a waste whether you are a servant. – Try something else. – What ? Do you believe in destiny? Believe in yourself. They are rare those who know how to talk to dogs.

But we’re breaking down in the street. I have an address for you. For dogs or work? Do you like to be pretty? Rather yes. It makes me think of it… There you will become a nurse. I didn’t study. It’s a beauty salon. You will take care of customers. I’m afraid of injections.

Me too. I only had one, when I was little. Nursing is a great job. Like ice cream parlor. Maybe even more. And the salary? Maybe 20 or 25,000 lire per month to start. Afterwards, you will evolve. Do you think they will take me? You are a very cheerful young girl.

I make everyone laugh. Here’s the address. 3 via Macchiavelli. Thank you so much. I’m going right now ! – I forgot… – Let me invite you. You will return the favor later. All right. THANKS ! Where are you going ? I have to talk to a guy.

– Do you have a license? – One minute… – U-turn. – Otherwise the place will escape me. Put one foot on it. – It makes you laugh, huh? – Go away. Do me a favor. There’s a guy named Gino. Tell him: “Esterina is going to look for a job.

“She will call. If she has the space, she doesn’t leave anymore.” If the salary is good, It’s better for all three of us. – Do not forget ! – Go ahead ! – What did she want? – It was endless. Here’s another one. Good morning.

– What is going on ? – You’re going to tell us. – Advance ! – Don’t grab me by the collar! – Stop struggling. – What did I do ? – Who is it ? – She rang. They wrote to you from Turin, but I didn’t steal the moped. Which moped?

I knew that they would chase me! Stop shouting and sit down. Let’s start from the beginning. Papers! I only have 1,500 lira. Did you think you found America? I do not have a photo. – Your name ? – Borasso Esterina. – Born at… -Seggiano.

– Age ? – 17 years. Finally, 16 three quarters. Write 17. – What do you write? – Take care! Address ? Momentarily there. That’s to say… ? This is the truck number where I live with Gino and Piero. Check this out for me. They are in the process to unload at the port.

How long have you… been working? Since I was eight years old. Eight years ? You are crazy ! I have been serving since I was eight years old. Don’t act innocent. Hello ? I’m coming. Bride ? – Who ? – You ! I hope ! One day or another. Alright.

Don’t be stupid with me. Who sent you? It’s the lady. – It’s her. – Who ? – Tall, elegant, glasses? – Yes. I go ? Or ? – Outside, if I have room. – What ? The nurse’s place, as the lady told me. – That’s it ! – And the work ?

I’ll give it to you, at the police station! You benefit from it, since there are two of you. – She doesn’t know anything. – That’s what I think. It’s better to keep an eye on her. – Will it be long? – We’re waiting for the van. – For where ? – On vacation.

Where is she ? Fresh. Three per room. There is no work, and what’s more, they’re stopping us? – Be patient, stupid! – What betrayal! If I caught the scales! Find her. – What are they doing in the cool? – A medical examination. – Completely naked? – It’s June, right? Naked as a worm.

What are you ashamed of? Afterwards, they put your clothes back on. – It’s a short story. – Leave her alone. You just have to escape. – It’s possible ? – Try it! I can go to the bathroom ? It’s true ? I can’t hold back anymore. Come.

Get in there, but don’t lock it. Go to the police station to fix that. We have schedules to respect. Tell what you know on the girl and you will leave. The load will leave on another truck. You heard ? We have to go. You will leave afterwards.

It’s a disaster ! Who will pay us? – The State, while you’re at it! – What ? We told you how we met her. Lock her up, I don’t care! You have to repeat everything to the commissioner. I would cut my hands! I would break your head! More than that was missing!

– Should I unload? – As you wish ! – It should happen tomorrow. – I told you: “As you wish!” Say that you haven’t found us. Turin! – Phone. – What is it again ? SO ? Do I unload? Dump or I throw everything into the sea. Come on, unload.

There is a load for Turin, immediate departure. – Are they unloading? – They are unloading. Hello ? Who ? You pissed me off! Are you leaving me alone? I curse the day where I met you! They are worse than my boss. I let them down.

– Bitter orange juice. – I do not have any. – But there is someone who loves me. – Pardon ? Nothing. A bottle of Bardolino. – For now? – I’m bringing it home. And that, for the children. The old man will be happy. An ice cream.

– How much is it ? – 750 liras. – Your change ! – Keep it. – In Pisa. – How ? It’s 30 kilometers away. We will arrive at dawn! Take the train! So, let’s get started! Pardon. Are you going to Turin? For what ? If you could take me…

Do you have money for fees? I have 30,000 lira. Mounted. Do you really have all this money? – Of course ! – Show me. Here’s the receipt. – It’s what ? – My 30,000 lire. It’s just good to wrap the salami. – How much cash do you have? – 200 liras.

– 200? Come down. – For what ? You go to Turin on foot. I am a trader. Nobody tells me lies. – Me neither. – You tried! I’m very nice. I toured Italy by motorbike. I transported of the rich and the poor. But no one made fun of me! Get down!

– You can hit me… – Something bad will happen to you. You have to take me. With kicks, yes! You have to take me to Turin! Don’t leave me here! Have mercy ! I’m going to teach you a good lesson, idiot! Don’t leave me! Receipt ! Piero’s receipt! Go away !

– Someone is drowning. – Where ? Over there ! She looks like a woman! – Which one of you is Gino? – Me. And you, the married man? Children? Three… Three and a half, actually. – Are you engaged? – No. Things are pretty bad for the girl.

There is the police report. Suicide attempt. – Why didn’t she call? – She did it. – SO ? – She returns home. Escorted by the police. After incidents like this, They won’t let you go. And the girl finds herself on the pavement. Sit down. Give me your contact details.

I’ll make arrangements with the police. Can we cover up the affair? Lastnames and firstnames. Maybe you’ll take her home. But it will be under your responsibility. You first. First and last name. Gino Buratti. Sister Maria… It’s her. My name is Sister Teresa. What do you want ? You see, they came.

In prison ! You don’t want to rest in the bunk? – What is she doing ? – She’s crying. Don’t put yourself in that state. It’s silly. Maybe you’re right. I understand that you are suffering, but make an effort. Besides, it’s useless. You need to think about the future. Not in the past.

What do I have to do ? What you want. But don’t wall yourself in silence and get that idea out of your head. You saw ? We found another load. It was hard, but there is a solution to everything. You were right. By thinking about the truck, I forget the rest.

Before, we only heard you. You were annoying us. I’ll take you home. And we’ll see each other again. I will spend Sunday, days off… We’ll take a walk. It is a pleasure. I don’t do it out of pity. We will go to the cinema like lovers. It takes time, Piero.

Where you go ? Stopped ! Leave me ! What happened to you? – Leave me ! – Have you gone crazy? – I love you ! – Let go of me ! You lie ! You wouldn’t have seen a girl and a guy like me?

– How are you ? – Like you, old man! How beautiful it is to be in love! I have tears in my eyes. I expected that. I will never kill myself again. Everything is different now: the trees, the houses, the streets. Everything changed. You opened my eyes. – THANKS. – What ?

– Do not be mad ! – Me ? You shout ! And now you don’t say anything anymore. We take turns doing this. – What should I say? – I want to chat. But he doesn’t. I love him anyway. Even if he cut his tongue.

Do you prefer Gino and Esterina? or Esterina and Gino? Where ? Everywhere. For example, to write on a letter. SO ? I’m going to sleep. Caress me so that I dream of you. Yes, Esterina. Kiss Me. Do you like me, Piero? Show me your wishes.

All my wishes. Let you have what you want. It’s not worth it, I’m already happy. For the first time. Because I love Gino. I arrived. See you tomorrow, Piero. We also go down. – When do we meet ? – I’m coming by this evening. I am waiting for you.

How are you my love ? Look what they did to you! – Who is this girl ? – I will explain you. – Here’s my wife. – Nice to meet you. – Chat among yourselves. – Let’s go. What are you going to do with Esterina? I’m not like you.

For me, life is something else. With my other friends either, It wasn’t serious. Where you purchased your shoes ? Corso Monginevra. I’ll take you. You are kind. An ice cream ! – Do not bother. – Two ice creams. Him too ? No, just two. She is something else. Exactly.

You’re not white either. And I don’t fear hell. You know, I’d give you one. We’ve been working together for five years. When you were lost, I fed you, clothed you. I was a hairdresser and you chained me to this truck that I can no longer let go. I would spit in your face!

And I would beat the shit out of you. If you want us to work together, Mind your own business. I don’t want advice of a guy worse than me. Esterina, come! We’re going ! – Bye Madam. – See you soon ! Is she Gino’s fiancée? For another five minutes.

Where are we going ? At home. Yes let’s go. At your place. For what ? You do have a house. Thank you so much. You thought that we were going to live together? Of course not. We barely know each other. – What if you’re tired of it? – I’m not tired of it.

You think so now. And I could say the same. But in a month? In a year ? I don’t care about that. What matters, it’s because you don’t love me. It hurts because I was wrong again. Why do you say that ? We can continue to see each other anyway.

– So, no. – I don’t want to see you anymore. I don’t even answer. This is how it ends. I’m so angry that I can’t cry. Listen to me. I will be there. If I can do anything, tell me. You’ve already done enough. Thank you so much. Take me home.

I will have traveled, at least! Come on, speed up! Accelerated ! I would slap myself. That would be funny… You understand… We spend our lives avoiding to do certain things. Especially to those we love. I don’t know How to explain to you… but I can’t marry you. I am incapable of it.

I prefer to be sincere. You do not say anything ? And it would be better neither do you. I hate summer! It’s here ? Yes, this is my house. – Shall we talk anymore? – Bye. Hold on ! Your 30,000 lire. – Mother ? – Died in a bombing. Father ?

I never knew him. You’ve been here before, right? I was a servant. And I wanted to change. Always the same boy story. It’s not true. You all believe that life, it’s like in a movie. The boy, the love… If you knew how many I’ve seen, people like you.

And the years slip by, death approaches and you come back here, to put on an apron. No, I won’t wear an apron again. I’m getting married. Hi. Where is Piero? His home. For what ? Hey, it’s for him. And that, for you. – It’s what ? – Sugared almonds.

You do not know ? It can be eaten. Why are you giving it to me? Because I’m getting married. Are you getting married? With whom ? A retiree. I have an appointment in an hour. Hold on ! How is he ? It’s him. He has 90 trucks.

If you call me, I will take care of you. What are you talking about ? I’ll find you a job. A retiree, the trucks… You are sick ? I gave him my word of honor. Hello, I have an appointment in an hour. What now ? Eat jelly beans with me.

Quick, I have lots of things to do. When are you getting married? One of these days. I already took the photo. It’s bitter. Take another one. It’s good. Help yourself too. We’ll take them to Piero. – I have a date… – Do not go. But the pensioner won’t marry me.

You will find someone else. Yes, another one. The years slip by, death approaches… Come on, get in. Come to Piero’s. His wife will be there. We will eat them together. His wife is my friend, right? You know, I’ve been looking for you everywhere. When one seeks, one finds. Do not Cry.

You don’t have to cry anymore. You come with me. Let me cry. Don’t you see what the world is like? The more lies you tell, the more we believe you. You too. No, Esterina. Now it’s over. That’s enough. Yes, that’s enough. Period.

Esterina, a young war orphan, joins two truck drivers, Gino and Piero, on their trips along Northern Italy. She wants to find her luck in the big city, but her dreams turn into disappointing experiences. She falls in love with Gino but he is not interested in her, until she disappears
