Balloon?
Mommy, can I get one?
Of course! Thank you
Five euros, please
Thank you
Excuse me, the receipt?
Ehm..no
No? Well, then no thank you
No! No! Leave the pigeons alone!
Oh, let him play
Are you joking? You don't know the kind of diseases they carry, the cryptochroctosis, it's disgusting!...And the spergillosis?
Beautiful, isn't it?
Milan, the huge Milan
You'll see Silvia, our lives are going to change!
Who's that? Oh, It's Mario!
Mario? Guess where we are!...What? Look, I cannot talk right now, I'll call you tonight, ok? Bye
What's going on?
Troubles at work?
No...don't worry! Optimism, Silvia, optimism!
Gross!
Motherfu...
Whatever..
What do you mean you cannot do anything about it? It's 15 years I have been working there!
Come on, you promised to me!
You knew I cared about that!
Well...whatever...ok, I understand, I get it.
Let me tell you it is not fair, though.
Well...ok, bye Mario! Bye
SHOES!
TV talking
What?
They refused to transfer me to Milan
What?
A...disabled person overtook me
So, one needs to be handicapped to go and live in Milan now?
No, but they have priority...it's fair, come on
Yes, but wasn't your friend 'I-will-sort-everything-out" Mario going to help you in this?
How long have I been telling you that Mario is 'chaparan'?
Daddy! What does 'chaparan' mean?
Well, it means he goes aftere rats...I mean, that he's good for nothing
With everything you have done for him!
It is not like that, it is not Mario's fault, it is not my fault, it is nobody's fault!
Daddy, we are not going to Milan anymore, are we?
Calm down! We are still going to go to the American school
Your MOTHER is going to bring you there anyway, because if it was up to your father...
and then you will go to university in Milan, you will become a lawyer, you'll get married, and then you'll buy a house, in Milan, in the center! In Piazza Duomo!
....or he can stay here and marry Pina
Pina? And who's that?
The daughter of the pizza man at 'Lo Scoglio'
Look, Pina is not ugly at all!
And do you know how much does the father have in the bank?
It can be an eligible girl!
Fish-fingers!
Fish fingers again?
How does Pina look?
She looks like a monster, daddy
Mario!
Are you crazy?
Has anybody seen you coming in?
Have you talked to anybody?
We work at the post office, not at the CIA
Don't speak loud, I am risking a lot!
What? What are you risking, I didn't even get the job!
I have been working my ass off for 15 years in this company
Don't scream like this or we are fucked!
Mario. Please help me
Silvia is not even talking to me anymore
Listen, there is another available site in Milan, the present director will retire in a month time
It is perfect!
Shhhhh!!!!
I must get that place!
Don't speak loudly, fuck!
Here we go
Here we go what?
Shh!
Is that him?
Is it the boss?
Shut up!
Yes?
No, no I am not busy
Ok, very well...shhh
No, I was not ssshhhing you
The boss wants to see me, get the hell out of here!
...And if we put on the application that I am handicapped?
Are you crazy?!
Why? What do I have to lose?
If that comes out, I will be in trouble, but you'll be dead
Whatever..
I'm coming
Thank you doctor....goodbye
I am going to prepare a good soup with carrots and butter and a little bit of pork
Guys! Excuse me! Couples on the other side, please..
Take him down! Block him! Struck him!
Stop! He's my husband!
I got the transfer! To Milan!
Are we going to Milan..?
Yes!
Really?
Excuse me Director!
Tell me
There is an inspector who is looking for you
An inspector? Which inspector?
From the higher administration
he says it is regarding your transfer
Ehm....let him wait...five minutes
To Milan!
Shit!
Shit, I had to try it first...
Noooo! Nooo!
Good morning
I am Alberto Colombo
did you want to see me?
I just wanted to get some details with respect to your transfer
Do you need help?
Oh no, it's the kids, they always make jokes....they like to pierce the wheels
Here we go. Have a sit, please
What can I do for you?
How long have you been disabled for?
Well, it is not easy for me to talk about this, but
I was very young
And the memory is blurred
Going with my mind through those memories is terrible
A muscular spasm
Ok, it is gone. Tell me
Mr. Colombo, there have been two applications filed under your name
A recent one, for a person with limited mobility
..and another one dated three months ago, for a walking person
Is it the same person Mr. Colombo?
Yes, it was me who filed these applications
The one I filed as a healthy person..
I have done it..
Because...I wanted my wanted my application to be...
...considered as equal as everybody else's
It is important for us disabled
to see in the eyes of people like you, normal people, something that goes beyond simple pity
It is very honorable
Thank you
But if this will count against my transfer, I..
No, no, it is only a general but necessary verification of your status
you know, we often have to deal with fake applications
of people who want to go to Milan
Oh yeah?
Yes, it happens often
Shameful
But this is not your case mr. Colombo
you'll be just fine in Milan
Thank you
Well, I won't going to bother you more with this
Oh, you are not bothering me at all
Well, goodbye mr...
Goodbye..
Mario, please..
We are friends..
Friends? Friends?!
I am not friend with an asshole who pretends to be handicapped
I know, I did it for Silvia
I shouln't have
Sit down..
I regret it Mario
Sit down
Alberto: I have a good news and a bad news
I am suspended, am I not?
Worse
Fired?
Worse still
Worse than fired, what is it?
Transferred
to the South
South like Bologna?
Not Bologna, south south
Don't tell me Rome, you know I dislike Rome
No, don't worry, it is not Rome, it's much more South
Sicily?!
No, before Sicily there is Campania
You have been transferred close to Naples
Naples?
But it is horrifying, Mario!
You'll start this coming Monday
What do you mean Monday? I have no light clothes, no place to sleep..
Look, we offer accommodation for the director of the post office
But where are you sending me exactly?
Castellabbate
Castellabbate?
Well...what's the good news?
I just told you
And the bad one?
You're gonna stay there for two years
Two years?
Minimum
Two years in Naples? Mario..
Look Alberto, either the South, or you get fired because of big responsabilities
Two years in Naples? I will die
Now! Go..go..I am sorry
Mario you cannot do this to me
Help me!
Alberto, I don't know what else to do
Mario!
Mr. Director
Good morning, come on in
Hi Honey
Hi love
Hi Daddy!
Hi Chicco! Are we eating yet?
Yes, everything is ready!
Look, what a shame, the beautiful house I had found next to my parents'
My mom has written down all the names in the intercom and she wrote them down
Esposito, Coppola, Wanga, Ahmed, Beretta, Gargiulo, and Capuozzo
Now, apart from Beretta, they all look like names from the Equator
so it's better than we let go and look for another place
Don't worry
They are not sending me to Milan anymore
So, dinner?
What?
What does that mean, that another handicapped took us over?
They found something much much better
Ah, and where?
To 'Chateu de la Bait'
Where?
Castellabbate
A smiling city next to..
...Naples
Extraordinary
What did say?
Extraordinary
Before
Smiling city
After
Next to Naples
Naples?!
In order to get the place in Milan
I pretended to be disabled
You pretended to be..?
What an assh..
I can't believe I married such a...
Such a...
Chicco!
Asshole!
You are going there alone!
Put it in your head: you're going alone!
Chicco! Pajamas! To bed! Let's go!
What an asshole..
Mommy, I am scared of Chateau le Bait
Illustruous Academy of Gorgonzola
I declare mr. Petazzoni
Illustruous Academic of Gorgonzola D.O.C.
Lower Italy is such a bad thing
I know it because my mother, when I was young, she was getting fucked by a Teru'!
By who?
A redneck
The problem over there is that they are all rednecks, men, women, children
everybody is a redneck
also the animals,cats are redneck, dogs are redneck, the cows, the chickens, the veals are all redneck
and they only speak Teru'
and you don't understand anything
when you think you have understood something, you realize they are fooling around with you
in front of you, they are all nice, and good, as they say, they are 'hospitable'
but they are really all from Camorra
Moreover, I suffered from the heat
Is it hot?
Winter so so, but during the summer the sun goes up up until 39, 40 degrees
So you think inside it would be colder
50 degrees instead!
Is it hotter inside than outside?
Yes, because they have shitty house made out of shit over 30 years ago
How is life over there?
Well, it is hard, those who live good are with the Camorra
they live good, but the rest is all poor
As they say,'you see Naples and then you die'
Yes, you die murdered
