Coco, let's not talk about me,

157

I'm the most boring subject I know.

He owes me everything.

161
00:10:29,426 --> 00:10:31,926
I introduced him to Aurora,
my best friend.

162
00:10:32,635 --> 00:10:35,426
Without me he'd never have
had the courage to court her.

163
00:10:36,051 --> 00:10:37,260
Aurora was a beauty,

164
00:10:37,343 --> 00:10:40,592
he was an acquired taste, to be kind.

165
00:10:40,675 --> 00:10:43,800
Thanks to me,
the marvelous Dori arrived.

166
00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:47,134
- Have you met Riccardo?
- No, I haven't had the pleasure.

167
00:10:47,217 --> 00:10:49,175
- [Coco] He lives in Canada.
- What does he do?

168
00:10:49,259 --> 00:10:51,300
- He composes classical music.
- [Coco] Nonsense!

169
00:10:51,384 --> 00:10:55,383
He writes songs for American pop stars
and earns more than all of us.

When is the contemporary
dance festival starting?

171
00:10:58,133 --> 00:10:59,383
I'll let you know.

Are you happy that in six months
you'll leave this museum

173
00:11:02,924 --> 00:11:05,466
and go home amid your law books?

174
00:11:06,091 --> 00:11:08,715
- I confess I am happy.
- He doesn't speak, he confesses.

175
00:11:08,798 --> 00:11:11,048
He's a great Catholic

00:23:09,953 --> 00:23:11,661
Why are you so bitter?

347
00:23:12,286 --> 00:23:15,119
Because you never interfere,
you always play it safe,

348
00:23:15,203 --> 00:23:17,411
that's how you faced
six government crises.

349
00:23:20,202 --> 00:23:21,535
Maybe.

350
00:23:21,618 --> 00:23:24,035
The old Christian Democrat culture
hangs over me.

351
00:23:24,118 --> 00:23:29,327
But the Christian Democrats,
at crucial times, knew how to decide.

352
00:23:29,410 --> 00:23:30,785
They did, but do you?

353
00:23:30,868 --> 00:23:32,951
[President] What do you want to ask me?

354
00:23:33,034 --> 00:23:35,659
We've been working
on the euthanasia bill for three months.

355
00:23:35,742 --> 00:23:38,867
Me, Ms Gallo,
the entire legal team, day and night.

356
00:23:38,951 --> 00:23:42,492
Filing down, cutting, correcting.

357
00:23:42,576 --> 00:23:44,909
All this to please you.

358
00:23:45,866 --> 00:23:49,950
But it's useless,
because you'll never sign that bill.

359
00:23:50,033 --> 00:23:52,783
Signing that bill requires courage
that you don't have.

360
00:23:54,908 --> 00:23:57,325
- No, it's not like that.
- Then what is it like?

361
00:23:57,408 --> 00:24:01,240
You're reducing the matter
to a conflict between courage and fear.

362
00:24:01,324 --> 00:24:03,574
- But that isn't the point.
- And what is?

363
00:24:04,782 --> 00:24:07,365
If I don't sign, I'm a torturer,

364
00:24:07,449 --> 00:24:09,532
if I do sign, I'm a murderer.

365
00:24:09,615 --> 00:24:11,240
That is the point.

366
00:24:12,864 --> 00:24:14,698
Actually, that is the dilemma.

367
00:24:16,198 --> 00:24:18,614
You know the theory
of the slippery slope, right?

368
00:24:18,698 --> 00:24:21,198
Very well.
The Holocaust is the final result

369
00:24:21,281 --> 00:24:23,823
of an innocuous
and generous initial intention:

370
00:24:23,906 --> 00:24:26,197
to ease the suffering
of those who are ill.

371
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,447
If the legislator yields on A,
in time they'll yield up to N.

372
00:24:29,530 --> 00:24:32,030
First, it can't be proved
and besides it won't happen.

373
00:24:32,113 --> 00:24:33,113
[President] Why?

374
00:24:33,197 --> 00:24:35,822
Because thanks to you,
we're better than you.

375
00:24:37,030 --> 00:24:39,529
It just comes down to one question.

376
00:24:39,612 --> 00:24:42,196
- There are many questions.
- No, just one.

377
00:24:43,029 --> 00:24:44,821

Now tell me something.

In spite of all these clouds,
it's a beautiful day.

00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,023
I find you very optimistic, Holy Father.

My dear friend.

396
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,604
You wish to ask me something, don't you?

397
00:26:29,604 --> 00:26:31,354
- I can tell.
- Yes, I do.

398
00:26:32,688 --> 00:26:37,229
Go ahead, you can ask
anything of a friend.

399

I feel lonely, Your Holiness.

is running out,

The future?

408
00:27:09,768 --> 00:27:11,435
A void.

You are certainly
not lacking in sincerity.

Are you afflicted with loneliness

414
00:27:33,266 --> 00:27:37,516
or are you simply weighed down
by the length of life?

415
00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:41,724
Can you still remember
what it means to feel light?

416
00:27:42,724 --> 00:27:45,515
Have you ever been light?

417
00:27:49,473 --> 00:27:50,848

than me now.

- I don't think so.

classical music again? He was so good.

1048
01:21:17,460 --> 01:21:19,626
as a senator for life

1049
01:21:22,043 --> 01:21:25,626
I'll be entitled to vote
for the next President of the Republic.

1050
01:21:28,501 --> 01:21:31,543
President, will you allow a compliment?

1051
01:21:31,626 --> 01:21:33,876
[Birds call;

1052
01:21:36,126 --> 01:21:37,293
Please.

1053
01:21:38,168 --> 01:21:40,501
You are very, very clever.

1054
01:21:45,376 --> 01:21:46,460
Yes.

1055
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:49,752
I've heard that too.

1056
01:22:02,419 --> 01:22:04,211
I used to live here.

1057
01:22:14,002 --> 01:22:15,711
And she walked by.

1059
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:44,253

[Music fades;

1061
01:22:47,378 --> 01:22:49,337
I don't know exactly.

1062
01:22:52,171 --> 01:22:53,588
Mr Mayor,

1063
01:22:54,463 --> 01:22:58,088
what's your stand
on the pardon petition for Arpa?

1064
01:23:00,004 --> 01:23:03,879
It's an example of how
the community unites for a cause.

1065
01:23:04,838 --> 01:23:08,338
Arpa taught generations
of students in this town

1066
01:23:08,421 --> 01:23:10,671
and he was always loved and respected.

1067
01:23:11,879 --> 01:23:13,963
Everyone was moved

1068
01:23:14,046 --> 01:23:18,421
by the way Arpa took care
of his poor wife with Alzheimer's.

1069
01:23:20,421 --> 01:23:24,172
The petition for a pardon
was signed by all the citizens.

1070
01:23:24,255 --> 01:23:25,797
All of them?

1071
01:23:27,297 --> 01:23:28,589
That's surprising.

1072
01:23:28,672 --> 01:23:30,880
[He clears his throat] Almost
all of them.

1073
01:23:32,339 --> 01:23:35,339
- Who didn't sign?
- Only two people.

1074
01:23:36,714 --> 01:23:37,880
[President] Who are they?

1075
01:23:43,047 --> 01:23:44,547
My wife

1076
01:23:44,630 --> 01:23:45,797
and I.

1077
01:23:47,505 --> 01:23:50,589
- Why?
- This is a small town.

1078
01:23:51,339 --> 01:23:54,005
I didn't ask you how big the town is,

1079
01:23:54,673 --> 01:23:57,631
I asked why you two didn't sign.

1080
01:24:00,048 --> 01:24:01,798
[He sighs]

1081
01:24:03,090 --> 01:24:06,381
My wife has never liked Cristiano Arpa.

1082
01:24:07,590 --> 01:24:09,756
- And she adds...
- What does she add?

1083
01:24:12,548 --> 01:24:14,340
According to my wife

1084
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:18,965
it wasn't Alzheimer's that caused her
to have violent fits of rage.

1085
01:24:19,756 --> 01:24:22,256
But this is only my wife's opinion.

1086
01:24:22,340 --> 01:24:23,673
What was it, then?

1087
01:24:23,756 --> 01:24:28,299
My wife claims that Arpa
had another woman for some time.

1088
01:24:33,716 --> 01:24:37,591
Why is Cristiano Arpa
letting himself die?

1089
01:24:37,674 --> 01:24:38,757
[Mr Mayor] I don't know.

1090
01:24:39,466 --> 01:24:42,049
[President] What does your wife
say about it?

1091
01:24:42,132 --> 01:24:45,007
She maintains that it's a tactic

1092
01:24:45,882 --> 01:24:47,466
to move you,

1093
01:24:47,549 --> 01:24:50,382
to increase the chance
of receiving a pardon.

1094
01:24:51,216 --> 01:24:53,132
She also adds...

1095
01:24:53,216 --> 01:24:54,424
What?

1096
01:24:57,091 --> 01:24:59,550
That Cristiano Arpa is very clever.

1097
01:25:01,508 --> 01:25:04,383
- That's just her opinion.
- What's yours?

1098
01:25:08,425 --> 01:25:10,592
My wife is also very clever.

1099
01:25:18,758 --> 01:25:20,717
[He exhales deeply]

1100
01:25:37,634 --> 01:25:39,093
[President]
<i>What if it's a mistake?</i>

1101
01:25:39,176 --> 01:25:40,634
What?

1102
01:25:41,343 --> 01:25:42,759
[President] Coming here.

1103
01:25:45,093 --> 01:25:49,468
Meeting Cristiano Arpa in prison,

1104
01:25:50,468 --> 01:25:53,301
in an attempt
to come closer to the truth.

1105
01:25:55,093 --> 01:25:57,301
May I talk frankly?

1106
01:25:59,634 --> 01:26:00,927
It's madness.

1107
01:26:01,802 --> 01:26:05,427
But you are a great jurist,
you can find out the truth.

1108
01:26:06,385 --> 01:26:10,052
Don't cut him any slack,
put his back to the wall.

1109
01:26:10,135 --> 01:26:12,052
General, this is not a war.

1110
01:26:13,510 --> 01:26:14,719
Pity.

1111
01:26:18,344 --> 01:26:20,010
Have you ever done anything foolish?

1112
01:26:24,427 --> 01:26:25,802
Once.

1113
01:26:26,844 --> 01:26:29,760
I inspected my son Antonio's room.

1114
01:26:31,052 --> 01:26:32,470
In a drawer,

1115
01:26:32,970 --> 01:26:35,220
inside a pencil case,

1116
01:26:37,470 --> 01:26:39,095
I found a joint.

1117
01:26:42,053 --> 01:26:43,928
I smoked it.

1118
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:50,511
And did it have any effect?

1119
01:26:50,595 --> 01:26:51,803
No,

1120
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:54,553
because I don't know how to inhale.

1121
01:27:02,011 --> 01:27:03,178
And you?

1122
01:27:10,596 --> 01:27:13,679
[President] I've never been brave.

1123
01:27:15,471 --> 01:27:17,929

[General]
<i>You jurists and we military men</i>

1125
01:27:28,304 --> 01:27:31,179
thought that law and discipline

1126
01:27:31,929 --> 01:27:35,722
would have divested us
of the annoying duty

1127
01:27:36,930 --> 01:27:38,972
of possessing sensibility.

1128
01:27:40,472 --> 01:27:42,222
But that's not how it went.

Do you want to meet Isa Rocca too?
She's also detained here.

1132
01:28:24,598 --> 01:28:26,889
I don't see the need.

1133
01:28:26,973 --> 01:28:29,973
President, we've reserved a room
for you to wait in.

1134
01:28:33,764 --> 01:28:35,764
No, I'll wait with the others.

You taught history?

1140
01:30:50,269 --> 01:30:52,394
Do you miss teaching?

1141
01:30:53,186 --> 01:30:55,728
I never taught anything,

1142
01:30:55,811 --> 01:31:00,311
I only enthusiastically acted out
what was written in the books.

1143
01:31:01,228 --> 01:31:05,103
My students appreciated me
because I was a rather good actor.

1144
01:31:09,644 --> 01:31:13,728
Did you only act at school
or at home too?

1145
01:31:16,562 --> 01:31:20,479
Forgive me, but there's no point
in answering this question.

1146
01:31:21,979 --> 01:31:25,437
If you're a good actor
you're never believed,

1147
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:27,562
whatever the answer may be.

1148
01:31:32,395 --> 01:31:35,270
- They say you had a mistress.
- It's not true.

1149
01:31:38,770 --> 01:31:41,395
I have no intention
of putting you on trial.

1150
01:31:42,812 --> 01:31:44,145
Thank you.

1151
01:31:45,854 --> 01:31:50,938
Thank the Lord, my sentence
was passed in a short time.

1152
01:31:52,313 --> 01:31:54,313
I turned myself in immediately.

1153
01:31:54,396 --> 01:31:57,355
That's not an attenuating circumstance.

1154
01:31:57,438 --> 01:32:00,438
No, but it's a fact.

1155
01:32:06,271 --> 01:32:08,896
You stated you don't deserve a pardon.

1156
01:32:12,855 --> 01:32:16,521
You don't seem interested
in regaining your freedom.

1157
01:32:18,313 --> 01:32:21,772
At my age, freedom's not good for much.

1158
01:32:35,397 --> 01:32:38,356
- Did your wife have Alzheimer's?
- Final stage.

1159
01:32:39,064 --> 01:32:41,147
Her life was a living hell.

1160
01:32:42,147 --> 01:32:43,481
And mine too.

1161
01:32:47,147 --> 01:32:50,397
So you killed her
to free her from suffering?

1162
01:32:51,565 --> 01:32:54,773
- No, I killed her out of love.
- Out of love.

1163
01:32:57,732 --> 01:33:00,398
I've heard this story too many times.

1164
01:33:00,482 --> 01:33:02,440
Each time I don't understand it.

1165
01:33:03,815 --> 01:33:06,190
Love as an alibi for death.

1166
01:33:08,940 --> 01:33:11,690
For me, love is a celebration of life.

1167
01:33:11,773 --> 01:33:14,065
You're absolutely right,

1168
01:33:14,148 --> 01:33:16,732
but unfortunately that's not the point.

1169
01:33:18,982 --> 01:33:21,065
What is the point for you?

1170
01:33:21,148 --> 01:33:26,524
The point is that it's not always easy
to live up to one's principles.

1171
01:33:32,608 --> 01:33:35,108
In short, you don't want a pardon?

1172
01:33:36,108 --> 01:33:38,483
Everyone in my town wants it.

1173
01:33:42,274 --> 01:33:43,983
Not everyone.

1174
01:33:48,024 --> 01:33:51,316
In a letter written to your wife
a few days before strangling her,

1175
01:33:51,399 --> 01:33:54,817
you say,
"I'll try to let myself live."

1176
01:33:55,442 --> 01:33:57,484
But now you've changed your mind.

1177
01:33:57,984 --> 01:33:59,525
You're letting yourself die.

1178
01:34:00,692 --> 01:34:03,484
You're claiming that I'm acting?

1179
01:34:03,567 --> 01:34:06,317
No, I detect an incongruence.

1180
01:34:08,775 --> 01:34:11,609
And incongruences lead to doubt.

1181
01:34:13,775 --> 01:34:19,109
That's why it takes 2,046 pages
to write a manual of criminal law.

1182
01:34:23,609 --> 01:34:26,318
But I don't see any incongruence,

1183
01:34:26,901 --> 01:34:31,235
letting yourself live is the same
as letting yourself die.

1184
01:34:35,943 --> 01:34:37,943
Why are you letting yourself die?

1185
01:34:40,526 --> 01:34:42,860
Because I only want to forget

1186
01:34:44,610 --> 01:34:46,610

01:56:29,151 --> 01:56:30,652
[President] My daughter.

1398
01:56:31,902 --> 01:56:33,610
She convinced me.

1399
01:56:34,860 --> 01:56:36,943
She is a great jurist,

1400
01:56:37,860 --> 01:56:40,110
because she was able
to crack my principles.

1401
01:56:40,193 --> 01:56:42,318
[Editor]
<i>You are a great jurist too.</i>

1402
01:56:44,485 --> 01:56:47,152
Now I'll tell you
something banal, madam.

1403
01:56:48,610 --> 01:56:52,277
There's a time when children
should follow their parents,

1404
01:56:53,068 --> 01:56:58,193
but there's a subsequent time
when parents should follow their children.

1405
01:56:58,777 --> 01:57:02,361
Besides, my daughter has something extra,

1406
01:57:03,111 --> 01:57:04,944
passion,

1407
01:57:05,028 --> 01:57:08,444
which, for reasons of age, I have lost.

1408
01:57:09,444 --> 01:57:11,569
[Editor]
<i>Have you found
your passion again?</i>

1409
01:57:12,653 --> 01:57:15,944
It's late for passion, madam,

1410
01:57:16,028 --> 01:57:17,361
but...

1411
01:57:20,361 --> 01:57:23,153
I've found something that resembles it.

1412
01:57:26,069 --> 01:57:27,486
Grace.

1413
01:57:29,194 --> 01:57:32,320
Grace is the beauty of doubt.

1414
01:57:33,862 --> 01:57:37,404
[Editor]
<i>So you signed it,
you decided, even if in doubt.</i>

1415
01:57:38,487 --> 01:57:41,237
Isn't that what we always do?

1416
01:57:41,320 --> 01:57:43,112
Every day?

1417

- [President] Mm.

1420
01:57:51,237 --> 01:57:53,070
[Editor]
<i>It's called courage.</i>

1421
01:57:57,404 --> 01:58:01,487
One day, my daughter Dorotea asked me,

1422
01:58:01,570 --> 01:58:03,570
"Who owns our days?"

1423
01:58:04,155 --> 01:58:05,905
The answer is so obvious.

1424
01:58:08,280 --> 01:58:09,696
<i>They are ours.</i>

1425
01:58:10,530 --> 01:58:14,155
<i>But paradoxically,
a lifetime is not enough to understand it.</i>

<i>Not really.</i>

1444
01:59:21,865 --> 01:59:25,115
<i>I'd never have imagined</i>
<i>you'd grant Isa Rocca a pardon.</i>

1445
01:59:25,782 --> 01:59:27,365
<i>And the motivation.</i>

1446
01:59:28,782 --> 01:59:31,073
<i>"Preventive self-defense."</i>

1447
01:59:31,865 --> 01:59:37,490
<i>A truly daring extension</i>
<i>of the principle of self-defense.</i>

1448

Self-defense from a life that was hell.

1449

<i>But she killed him in his sleep.</i>

1450
01:59:43,866 --> 01:59:47,449
He would have woken up
and continued to torture her.

1451
01:59:49,658 --> 01:59:52,241
- [Dori]
<i>She could have run away.</i>
- No.

1452
01:59:52,324 --> 01:59:53,574
She couldn't.

1453

[Dori]
<i>Why not?</i>

1454
01:59:57,949 --> 01:59:59,283
Because she loved him.

1455
02:00:01,033 --> 02:00:03,991
It would have meant
running away from her very life.

1456
02:00:05,158 --> 02:00:06,908
She had no choice,

1457
02:00:07,658 --> 02:00:09,449
that's why we pardoned her.

<i>Why didn't you grant Arpa a pardon?</i>

1459
02:00:15,409 --> 02:00:17,284
His account was misleading.
