00:00It's terrible, but I may never see you again.
00:17You'll wait for me?
00:19How can you ask me such a question?
00:22I'll wait for you until the end of the world.
00:24I have your photograph on my heart.
00:26I'll take it with me to heaven.
00:29I want you to be proud of me.
00:32Yes.
00:33Behave yourself.
00:35But don't take unnecessary risks.
00:37And now, peace.
01:28I want you to be proud of me.
01:54Rio!
01:56See you soon!
01:58Goodbye!
02:23Signorino Roger, could you help me?
02:38What do you want?
02:40Your mother decided to put me in a house.
02:43Why?
02:45Maybe she's afraid now.
03:04Signorino, I have to work.
03:07I'm helping you.
03:08Liar!
03:10You don't help me at all.
03:12You bother me.
03:25Like this.
03:37It's the first time.
03:38Thank God!
03:39It's almost normal.
03:42Wait a minute.
03:50Did you take off your shirt?
03:54Did you do it?
03:55Yes.
03:56With whom?
03:58I won't tell you.
04:00Did you do it with Kate?
04:01No, not with Kate.
04:02What are you waiting for?
04:07Mom is in the living room with Father Gabriele.
04:09Come.
04:18His dream was to become an officer.
04:22Cavalry officer.
04:25Before the accident, he was the most normal man.
04:30And moreover, since then he has become jealous.
04:33Very jealous?
04:34You can't imagine how much.
04:36And his dream is like a ghost among us.
04:41He forces me to take positions.
04:49Do you understand me, Father?
04:51What kind of positions?
04:56I spare myself the details.
05:01And you?
05:04How to say?
05:06Do you like it?
05:09How to say?
05:11Yes, in a sense.
05:14Even if I don't need it.
05:17At least I think.
05:20What I wanted to ask you.
05:22Yes?
05:23You know, there are women.
05:28I mean...
05:30People.
05:32With whom he can be satisfied.
05:35Without humiliating me like that.
05:37Specialized people.
05:41Can you ask me?
05:43Excuse me.
05:44There are three answers.
05:47First of all, adultery is forbidden.
05:50Under any circumstances.
05:52It is not possible that your husband...
05:54...touches other women.
05:57Second of all...
06:02Second of all...
06:07I remember.
06:10I doubt that your husband is happy with any woman.
06:15With a woman he doesn't know.
06:17It's you he wants.
06:20And third of all...
06:24And third of all...
06:26If I may, don't complain.
06:29This little weirdness...
06:33Anyway, very forgivable.
06:35In times of war.
06:37They are the proof of the love...
06:40...and loyalty of your husband.
06:43Believe me, there are not many women...
06:45...who can say the same.
06:49What are you doing?
06:51Roger, come here.
07:03Roger, I'll make you whip again.
07:05Really? But now that all the men have left...
07:08Who will keep me?
07:21I don't know.
07:42Did I scare you?
07:44Yes.
07:45I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
07:48You never came here before.
07:50Now I don't take any more risks.
07:52Why?
07:53Because the men have gone to war.
07:58Do men scare you?
08:01All women scare me.
08:03Why?
08:04Why?
08:06Because...
08:10Because...
08:21So?
08:22All right, all right.
08:24I saw the list.
08:25It will take some time, but I'm committed.
08:27How long are you staying here?
08:29I have to be in the factory at one o'clock in the morning.
08:31Have the workers mobilized?
08:32No, no, I had an appointment.
08:34But I thought I'd hire some women.
08:35Among other things, they cost much less.
08:37Is everything going well here, dear?
08:39Here is an idyll.
08:41Look, a picture of Roland on the newspaper.
08:43He shot another plane.
08:44Show me.
08:45There are three with this.
08:46It's a real ace.
08:48It's beautiful like an angel.
08:49Oh, yes.
08:50The uniform gives him a lot.
08:52Sure, something miraculous, aviation.
08:54The metal that freezes in the air.
08:58Look here.
08:59It's one of dad's medals.
09:02It's true.
09:03With men like that, the war will be won in a whale.
09:06Let's hope it takes longer.
09:09Mom.
09:10Why do they do this war?
09:13But...
09:14Because...
09:17Because...
09:20Ask your father.
09:21He'll tell you.
09:26Dad.
09:28Explain it to me, then.
09:30Well, it's the Germans' fault.
09:32Why? What did they do?
09:34Well, a bunch of scoundrels.
09:37Which ones, for example?
09:39Well, I'll tell you tomorrow.
09:41It's late now.
09:46Aunt.
09:48Do you know why they do this war?
09:51No.
09:52No one told me.
09:54I like men.
09:56To fight, to kill.
09:57And you?
09:58Would you like to do it?
10:00No, no, no.
10:01I'd rather stay here.
10:04So...
10:06What do you see?
10:09What does it do?
10:12Look.
10:14Look.
10:20Cuckoo.
10:24I confess, ma'am.
10:25Of all the officers I've seen, she was the worst.
10:27I demand an answer.
10:29Roger!
10:31I beg you, believe me.
10:33I'm innocent.
10:34It's all useless.
10:35Much worse for her.
10:36In my country, ma'am, spying is forbidden.
10:39Do you have a last wish?
10:41A relative?
10:42Someone to warn?
10:43No.
10:44No?
10:45She's all alone.
10:46Well, ma'am,
10:47this is the end of an adventurous life.
10:50I can only wish you a lot of courage.
10:52I'll show you how a woman knows how to die.
10:56I'll prepare her for execution.
11:00Now, let her close her eyes.
11:04Don't move.
11:06Close your eyes.
11:09She won't want to see death.
11:16Platoon, ready to fire!
11:20Aim!
11:22Oh, Roger!
11:24Roger!
11:25Don't be angry, ma'am.
11:30I saved your life.
11:37Why does my brother-in-law behave like this?
11:40No doubt, my love.
11:43Will my sister be happy?
11:45Of course.
11:52What happens in a man's head is a mystery.
12:07Good evening, dear aunt.
12:09Roger, what are you doing in my bed?
12:12I wanted to give you a goodnight kiss.
12:14Of course, here it is.
12:20Now go.
12:22I wanted a kiss like the one you gave me when I was a child.
12:28Get out of my bed!
12:30Get out!
12:32Get out!
12:36Get out of here, or I'll call your mother.
12:38To do business, did you see her?
12:40Get out, I said!
12:49I hear footsteps.
12:51I don't want them to see you coming out of here.
12:58Margherita, it's me, open the door.
13:00I have to talk to you.
13:01But it's impossible at this hour.
13:03I have something to read to you.
13:05What is it?
13:06A poem.
13:07If you want, you can read it to me through the door.
13:10Will you listen to it?
13:11Yes, I promise.
13:14Among all the suns that I have burned,
13:17and the galaxies among which I have wandered.
13:20My adorable Margherita, I am your star.
13:23I have not disappeared.
13:25That little star is a golden dot,
13:27and in its light I take rest.
13:29Of it I satiate myself and I dissolve.
13:31Closed in the darkness...
13:32You are still a virgin, aunt.
13:33I have this secret.
13:35In this night of torment and joy...
13:37I don't know it anymore.
13:38Before my voice dies,
13:40I want my tears to reach you,
13:42which overwhelms me and makes me tremble.
13:45Ah, my love, my adored love,
13:48of sweetness my heart trembles.
13:51Your purity, your chastity,
13:53only with mine have I found.
13:56I offer you my kiss,
13:58I want it to tell you, come, I take you,
14:00when I think of you, I find great joy.
14:03But nothing is further from your beauty.
14:07Like when I was little, aunt.
14:10You liked it so much.
14:27He has arrived.
14:28He has finally arrived.
14:39He has arrived.
15:10He loves music.
15:16And also medicine.
15:21Do you like these photographs?
15:23But, how to say...
15:24Yes, a little.
15:26More or less than the sun?
15:29What kind of question is that?
15:31When you have only the prospect of spending Saturday night
15:34in some brothel in the province.
15:40Of course, you can say thanks to the war.
15:43Why don't you go to bed with some women?
15:45It's so easy.
15:47Yes, it seems.
16:09What a kind thought.
16:11Come in.
16:26Did you do it with Kate?
16:28Yes.
16:32And how was it?
16:33Very beautiful.
16:36Did she tell you?
16:37Yes.
16:38And she also told me that she did it with Ursula.
16:40And Ursula told me that she did it with Hélène.
16:42Is it true? Answer me.
16:44Yes.
16:48But did you do it with all of them?
16:51Well, almost.
16:53And with aunt Margherita?
16:56Yes, but not completely.
16:58But will you do it?
16:59Who knows.
17:03Look who's coming.
17:08Come on.
17:35Your feet hurt?
17:36Yes, these boots are too small for me.
17:39Sit down, I'll take them off.
17:41Yes.
17:53Is it hot?
17:54Yes.
17:58Why don't you get dressed?
17:59You're right, I'm going to change.
18:01No.
18:03You can do it here too.
18:05I can help you.
18:07In the stable?
18:09Yes, why not?
18:10The horses are naked.
18:12You've changed a lot lately.
18:14What's wrong with you?
18:16Roger, leave me alone.
18:17The first inhabitants of the earth did it.
18:19But we're not the first.
18:21What if we were on a deserted island?
18:22But we're not on an island.
18:23Roger!
19:05He'll be fine.
19:06He was so hysterical.
19:07That's why he's good for everyone.
19:09But...
19:35After you.
20:36Miss Kate!
20:37I was looking for you.
20:38Mr. Roche and his aunt Margherita need you.
20:41Please, have a seat.
21:02Why do you keep falling asleep?
21:04What's wrong?
21:06At my age, you have to sleep a lot.
21:11Do you know what I'm telling you?
21:14I think I'm pregnant.
21:19You're pregnant?
21:20A baby is waiting for me.
21:23Is it serious?
21:24No, no.
21:25It's wonderful.
21:26What do I do now?
21:27What will my mother say?
21:28What will she say?
21:33It's Rolando.
21:34Hurry, get up.
21:35Let's hide.
21:36If he sees us together, he'll think badly of us.
21:46He'll see us.
21:59It's Rolando!
22:13Where Icarus lives in heaven!
22:28Rolando!
22:44Rolando!
22:58Rolando!
23:07Do you know that I'm a captain now?
23:09How nice!
23:10I was nominated last night.
23:12Rolando!
23:16You're the most beautiful, and you're my hero.
23:21Look,
23:23I always carry it with me.
23:25This hole is a bullet to the enemy.
23:27I'll take it boldly.
23:30And then,
23:32there's also this.
23:33My cap.
23:35Another bullet.
23:54I'll give you a new one, Rolando.
23:57Like a good captain.
23:59Bravo!
24:27Rolando!
24:57To the health of the captain!
24:58To the health of the captain!
25:01And it looks like we'll have a great wine this year.
25:06Now, Rolando will tell you a beautiful story.
25:11One morning,
25:13a soldier was walking.
25:15The sky was gray and the fog was rising.
25:19Suddenly,
25:22he puts both feet on something deceptive
25:25and falls into a hole.
25:27And this hole
25:29was the belly of a horse
25:31that had been dead for several weeks.
25:35A suffocating,
25:36frightening smell.
25:38The soldier can't keep his balance.
25:41He's panicking.
25:42He can't find his feet.
25:44He sinks into that swamp.
25:45He struggles, he tries to get out.
25:47He struggles with all his strength.
25:49There's nothing he can do.
25:52The gas
25:53suffocates him
25:55and he dies.
25:59I thought we weren't going to talk about crap.
26:01What are you talking about, Roger? It's war.
26:03War isn't crap.
26:04You've grown up. You don't have the bristles anymore.
26:24Let's start.
26:25Come on.
26:33There.
26:34Now we have to pull him up.
26:35Are you sure?
26:36That's what they told us at the hospital.
26:37It's the only way to stretch his leg.
26:39You have to pull hard.
26:41As hard as possible.
26:43Ready.
26:44And you have to do it every day for a year.
26:46Come on, all together.
26:47Pull up.
26:48Slowly, without hesitation.
26:50You, down there.
26:51Help him too.
26:52Come on.
26:53Up.
26:55Up.
26:56Up.
26:57Up.
26:58Up.
26:59Up.
27:00Up.
27:01Is it better to lose a leg or an eye?
27:03They won't let you choose.
27:05Up.
27:06Up.
27:07Up.
27:08Up.
27:09What happened, Mrs. Muller?
27:11My husband.
27:12Poor thing is dead.
27:15And here's what's left of him.
27:17The badge of recognition.
27:20And the bullet that killed him.
27:23And nothing else.
27:24Why are you crying?
27:25You always said it was as if he wasn't there.
27:29But he was my husband.
27:31If I don't cry,
27:33who will?
27:40Hey!
27:42Hey!
27:43Pull me down!
27:45It's her!
27:46Ursula!
27:50The culmination of desire.
27:54Roger, I have to tell you something.
27:57I'm pregnant.
27:59You too?
28:00What do you mean, me too?
28:02No, because Elisa, my sister, is too.
28:04Who?
28:05Why are you asking me?
28:07And now what do I do?
28:09You have to get married.
28:11Marry me?
28:14With you?
28:16Maybe.
28:18With Adolfo?
28:20No, of course not.
28:21With a crooked leg, it's worse than before.
28:24Valentino?
28:25Maybe.
28:26He's nice, kind.
28:27But he's a quack.
28:28Better.
28:29So I can do to him what I want behind his back.
28:32Ursula,
28:34would you do me a favor?
28:36Do you have nail polish?
28:37You know, the red one.
28:39No, but I can find it.
28:41Ah, well.
28:46Yes, but you have to hurry.
28:48It's an emergency.
28:58I have to talk to you.
29:00Of course, come in.
29:05You know, it's a very delicate topic.
29:08And also a little embarrassing.
29:09Wait, a baby?
29:11How do you know?
29:12Well, it's the season.
29:13What can I do?
29:14Simple, you get married.
29:15Yes, and with whom?
29:17With Mr. Frank.
29:18You'll make him happy.
29:19He doesn't ask for anything else in life.
29:23With Mr. Frank?
29:24Yes, he's a wonderful man, believe me.
29:27You'll be very happy together.
29:32We have to make him believe that he is the father of the child.
29:36Et voilà!
29:37Wait here.
29:39Then we'll solve your problem.
29:41You come with me.
29:44Let's go.
29:52Can't you move?
29:53Put some drops here.
29:55Let's not exaggerate with the purity, enough.
29:57Ursula, what are you doing?
30:01But Miss, I do it for your own good.
30:02You're crazy, give me this.
30:04Elisa, wait, try to think.
30:07Elisa, calm down.
30:11Luckily it didn't break.
30:12That's enough. Ursula, go back to my room. I'll be right back.
30:19It's only for your own good.
30:21Now, you go to Roland.
30:23Tell him that you love him, that you desire him, that you can't live without him anymore.
30:26Tell him what you want and take him to bed.
30:28But he's virtuous, he won't want to.
30:30What's virtuous or stupid? A woman knows how to do it.
30:33You can tell him that it's for the country.
30:38Go, he's falling asleep.
30:42Come on.
30:51Come on, let's go.
30:55Don't move.
31:05You always have to knock with him. Remember that.
31:09Who is it?
31:12It's you?
31:13Open the door, it's me, Margherita.
31:17Margherita.
31:20The sky is clear tonight and I wanted to ask you to show me the stars.
31:39Come on.
31:41Let's go.
31:44The war won't end soon, you know that.
31:46I don't want to lose you without knowing your love.
31:48Come on.
31:50Now it's not a sin, Father Gabriel said so.
31:53At least it's serious, it's a time of peace.
31:55Come on.
32:08Come on.
32:17What do you want? Come in.
32:19No, no, I have too much to do tonight.
32:21But I have to ask you a question.
32:23Tell me.
32:24Are you pregnant?
32:25No.
32:26Why?
32:27Because I'm done with my husband.
32:29Good night.
32:35No, no, not tonight.
32:37I'm going to break another cup.
33:08Water.
33:28This sheet will be my lucky charm.
33:30It will always be with me in heaven.
33:37I hope I didn't hurt you too much.
33:39Yes, a little.
33:41I love you.
34:05And at this point,
34:07I can only wish you
34:09that the Lord bless your union
34:11and give you children as soon as possible.
34:14Remember that this is a duty
34:17not only Christian,
34:19but also, in these difficult times,
34:23a precise patriotic duty.
34:26We must repopulate our martyred land.
34:30Yes, today more than ever,
34:33the homeland needs young energies
34:36who defend it.
34:38Yes, the homeland needs life.
35:38If it's a boy, I'll call him Roger.
35:40I thought the same thing.
35:42And you, Ursula?
35:44Yes, Ursula, what will you call him?
35:46Really, I also thought it was Roger.
35:48But why all the Rogers?
35:50What did I do to deserve this honor?
35:52Bye, Berta.
35:54Bye, Kate.
35:55Bye.
35:56Bye.
36:08And you, don't you have a son to defend the homeland?
36:11No, because I'm English.
36:18It was a wonderful vacation.
36:24It seems that the enemy is advancing.
36:25We'll meet again soon in town.
36:35Goodbye, Roger.
36:38Why goodbye?
36:39I'm going to live in town.
36:43And Valentino?
36:45Valentino is just a husband.
36:47And now you know what husbands are for.
36:50But if you stay in town, we'll meet again.
36:53I don't think so, Roger.
36:59Do you remember that I wanted to marry you?
37:02And instead, why didn't you feel anything for me?
37:08I didn't want to know.
37:10I acted as if nothing had happened.
37:12You'll see.
37:13These things happen.
37:18Maybe one day you won't even remember my name.
37:21I'll always remember you.
37:23And you?
37:25Me too.
37:28Roger!
37:32Well, I'm going.
37:34I still have to load the suitcases.
37:46Can I help you?
37:48No, thank you.
37:51And you?
37:52You too?
37:53Yes, me too.
37:56You need a husband.
37:58Why?
37:59It's not necessary.
38:02I'll call your father.
38:09Hurry up, Roger. We're late.
38:26I brought you some fruit for the trip.
38:29Pick it up with my hands.
38:31For you.
38:34Goodbye.
38:39And be careful in the city.
38:41It's full of temptations for a young man.
38:43Especially in times of war.
39:38Roger!
40:08I love you.
40:38I love you.
