THE LIFE YOU WANTED
PRIORI FARMHOUSE, SIXTEEN YEARS EARLIER
-Oh, my God.
-Like it?
This is a palace.
It's been in my family
for three generations.
Damn!
-Alè!
-Celeste.
-Congratulations, handsome.
-Thank you.
Ta-da!
Take the hat off. I can't see you.
-I'd better keep it on.
-Why?
I'm Marina. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Celeste.
Hi, Alessandro.
-Hi, Dad.
-Congratulations.
Thanks.
So? How long have you two been together?
Gosh
Actually, we are not together.
Come on.
A boy and a girl living together
-You can tell me. It won't shock me.
-No.
And to be honest, I'm actually happy.
Alessandro made me worry a lot.
She just told you.
They're just friends, Dad.
-Yeah
-Don't insist.
Yeah, I don't think so.
They live together in sin.
When there is love, there is no sin.
You wish.
He's coming. Quiet.
MY GRADUATION
Go.
Go back in there.
Go get changed.
Or I'll beat you up
like when you were a kid. I swear to God.
No.
You have to get used to it.
To me. To Gloria.
She'll be like this.
Only better. Happier.
I'll be like I've always imagined myself,
after my transition.
Alessandro. Get back in there.
-Don't make me say it again.
-I'm not Alessandro, I'm Gloria.
-No, Dad!
-I'm not afraid of you.
Alessandro. Stop it.
Stop doing what, Mom?
Have you lost your mind?
What are you doing, Dad?
Get out of this house,
before I do something crazy.
Like what?
Shoot your son?
Son?
You're no longer my son.
You're no longer my father.
I'll go because it's my decision.
Not yours.
You don't have the guts
to shoot me in the back.
Maybe I'd better go.
-Yeah, you'd better.
-Yes.
Goodbye.
Maybe that's just the way she is.
Don't feel bad about it.
Have a nice evening.
Wait.
Boy, you are completely insane.
I'm a completely insane girl.
I'm scared.
Why? I'll finally live my life.
Be happy for me.
Hey, beautiful girl.
Sergio, we just got to the villa.
I'll send you a pin. See you later.
Call me back.
-Where are we?
-In a safe place.
Hey.
Gloria.
Hi. What's going on?
Are these your friend's children?
I'll explain later.
-Aunt!
-Aunt!
How are you?
You're early. My birthday's tomorrow.
For once, I'm early instead of being late.
Auntie, who are they?
I'll introduce you.
Hi.
Good morning.
I'm Andrea.
I'm Celeste.
I'm Gloria's sister.
-Pleased to meet you.
-Me too.
Here.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome. She's so polite.
So weird to see you preparing breakfast,
acting all mom-like.
So look the other way.
Eat your breakfast quickly,
then go see if your dad
is working or slacking off as usual.
Come on.
What is this? Have we multiplied?
See? We grew overnight, just like dough.
They're the children
of a friend of Gloria's.
Have you seen Gloria?
-Gloria?
-Yes, your niece Gloria.
My niece Gloria?
I never had a niece called Gloria.
Where does she come from?
From Spain. Don't you remember?
Aunt. It's me.
Let's go in the other room
for a genealogy recap.
Good. Yeah.
You have to remind Aunt Liliana
about my transition every ten minutes?
Please keep an eye on the water for me.
We don't want it too hot.
I raised two kids with no help.
And you want to teach me?
Hello?
-Gloria.
-Sergio. When will you be here?
The GPS says in less than one hour.
How are you? All good?
All good. The kids are having breakfast.
Great.
Why couldn't we talk to him?
He was driving, Andrea.
He'll be here soon. You'll see him then.
Why don't you trust Gloria?
Because she's a big liar.
Well, last night she saved us.
-You're being ungrateful.
-Me?
Kids, your room is ready,
if you want to rest a bit.
You spent the whole night in the car.
It's the one with the blue walls.
Okay.
A shared room?
With all the spare rooms you have?
Gosh, Arianna. It's perfect, thank you.
Let's go. You're always complaining.
Sergio's coming.
Arianna's dad. You'll get to meet him.
I already know
Andrea's other parent, don't I?
I mean, his other biological parent.
-How could you tell?
-How could I tell?
I don't need a crystal ball.
He's just like you were at his age.
-A lot more on the masculine side.
-Yeah, make a joke.
Does he know?
It doesn't matter.
What do you mean?
It's too complicated.
Sergio wants to adopt him.
He'll take him to Naples with his sister,
and I won't see him anymore.
What are you talking about?
You can't forget you have a son.
That's not how it works.
Come on, sis, don't you start too.
I know that.
-I learned it the hard way.
-Hey.
Eva, listen carefully.
Pietro found us at the villa last night.
We were able to escape, and we're fine.
We called the police.
Be careful, please. Don't go to my place,
and don't go to the office. Okay?
He's dangerous, and he has a gun.
No. Oh, God.
Carmine? Carmine, answer me.
I know what you did.
You're the only one who knew.
Only you could give Gloria's address
to that asshole.
Miserable bastard!
I'll make you pay for it.
You'll see. You'll pay dearly.
Hi.
Yeah, I know. I don't like it either.
Celeste gave it to me.
At least it's clean.
It used to be my shirt.
It looks good on you.
Whatever.
If Pietro came to the villa
to take Salvatore,
and also Mom's death is
Maybe you were right.
And he has to pay for it.
See this land? It's my family's.
-As far as the eye can see.
-Wow.
Don't I sound like Scarlett O'Hara
in Gone with the Wind?
You don't know who that is.
Never mind.
Are you rich?
My family is.
When my father died,
I had to sell all this to my sister.
I needed a lot of money.
To start over.
Start what?
My life.
My real life.
The transition is expensive.
Medical appointments, hormonal therapies,
the surgeries.
It wasn't any good for me here in Salerno.
I didn't feel at home.
I had to find a new place to live.
New house, new job, new city.
I had to become independent.
I had to give all this up.
Don't you miss it?
Not a bit.
Starting a new life as myself
was the hardest thing.
And the one I'm most proud of.
I lived 20 years in a body
that didn't belong to me.
My head said one thing, my body another.
You don't get it, I know.
You feel good in your body.
Yes, it's true.
I can only imagine.
You were very brave.
It wasn't out of courage.
It was out of need.
Why are you telling me this?
Why?
Because you'll soon be gone.
I didn't want you to be out of my life
without knowing I did something good.
Listen. Would you do something for me?
Here.
What?
I wanted to go through that door with you.
I don't get it.
You don't have to. Now go.
Gloria.
I'm sending you a voice message
because I'm too ashamed to call, but
I wanted you to know it was Carmine
who told Pietro where to find you.
It's his fault if you risked your life.
But I'm not forgiving him this time.
I reported him for what he just did
and for everything he did to me.
You were right.
I'm sorry, Gloria, forgive me.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
I just want to cry.
Miss?
Do you have a tissue?
If I cry, I'll mess up all my make-up.
-Dad.
-Hey.
How are you?
I'm fine.
You had us scared.
Inspector, Marina didn't kill herself.
It's clear now. Gloria was right.
Yes. Pietro Riccio did it.
We saw him on CCTV from a nearby bakery.
On his way to the hospital.
We're looking for him.
The information Ms. Eva Santagata
gave us was very useful.
But did you find Carmine?
Yes, they're bringing him here
to be interrogated.
I don't know if he knows where Pietro is.
I'm sure he's looking for you.
His son is with you. He knows it.
What do you think we should do?
Stay there. At least until we catch him.
We alerted the local units.
If anything happens, call me right away.
Yes, we'll stay here.
-Thank you, Inspector.
-You're welcome.
How do you know my Aunt Gloria?
I'm her friend's son.
Your mom left you with her?
My mom passed away.
-It happened two days ago.
-I'm sorry.
A signature here
-Be strong.
-Thank you.
Do you want to go for a bike ride?
We'll show you the land, the olive trees.
-It's beautiful.
-I don't.
I'm tired.
I'd rather watch cartoons on TV.
I saw you have a huge one.
Gosh, Arianna. I'll come with you.
-We'll go grab the bikes.
-We have one for you.
Thanks.
Hey.
I can't stand it here.
Why?
Too many memories.
I like being with my sister,
but I feel the need for things
that are just mine. Just Gloria's.
From my current life.
It's hard to explain. I know.
I think I understand.
That's why I was scared
when Andrea arrived.
It felt like he wasn't my son.
As if he was part of the past.
As if he didn't belong to my current life.
What about now?
It'd be different now.
But he won't be in my life, right?
-Listen, Gloria.
-Let's not argue. Please.
This is 2,000 years old,
and it's not even the oldest one.
Stop showing off. Give him our surprise.
We make it too. Well, we help Dad make it.
It's our family's olive oil.
We wanted you to try.
No, wait.
I lied to you.
Gloria isn't just mom's friend.
She's also I mean
I'm her son.
And we are related.
I mean, we are cousins.
-You already knew?
-We figured it out.
This oil is yours too. We're family.
How did you figure it out?
Are we that much alike?
Not just that. You can tell
from how Aunt Gloria looks at you.
Who's that?
I'm gonna kill you!
Get in. Move!
Freeze!
Let's go back.
What now?
Gloria, last night, when
When Pietro shot me,
I could have died.
What would have become
of Arianna and Andrea?
You have to know the truth.
Marina told me the opposite
of what I told you.
She made me promise that no matter what,
you'd always be part of Andrea's life.
Gloria, I'm sorry, but
When I saw Andrea's reaction
and your uneasiness, I got scared.
Scared for Andrea.
Maybe scared for me too.
So Marina wanted me in our son's life.
-I made a mistake. Don't hate me.
-Why call it a mistake now?
Do you regret it?
Listen, Gloria. It won't be easy.
It'll take time,
but you have to be in Andrea's life.
You're saying that
until my next mistake? Then what?
-You'll change your mind again.
-No, I know I made a mistake.
What should I do?
Forgive you
because you're telling the truth?
It doesn't help.
It's just to soothe your conscience.
My son doesn't want me.
Andrea just went through hell.
He has yet to understand what he wants.
He will in time.
We'll help him understand.
How?
I don't know.
But this is the right thing to do.
Sergio, go.
I want to be alone.
Gloria.
Andrea's been kidnapped.
Luca and Marco said
it was a man with a gun in a red car.
If you want to see Andrea alive,
come out of that house with my son.
Alone. Without Sergio and without police.
Or you won't see Andrea again.
You have to help me.
Dad's gun.
-I don't know if it's the right thing.
-If I tell Sergio, Pietro'll kill my son.
I'm scared.
Me too.
-Why the car? Where is she going?
-I don't know. She took the baby.
The baby? Is she going to see Pietro?
He's reckless. Where is she going?
He took Andrea.
He wants his baby back.
He said to go alone, or he'd kill Andrea.
And she went alone?
-What was she supposed to do?
-Talk to me!
Gloria, come back right now.
It's far too dangerous. Can you hear me?
I'm worried for Andrea too.
You can't go there alone. Come back.
Okay? Trust me, Gloria.
Are you listening to me? Gloria.
Not you too.
It's gonna be all right.
-Hello?
-Inspector, we have to talk.
-Pietro kidnapped Andrea.
-Come here as soon as you can.
Okay.
-If Arianna wakes up
-I'll deal with it. Sergio.
-Bring them all back.
-Yes.
Don't you want to know how I found you?
Gloria's house in Lecce.
Full of olive oil cans.
And guess what was written on them?
The address.
You made all this fuss for nothing.
You could've just sent me your location.
No!
Get off me.
You don't get it.
When I lost your mother,
I lost everything.
I wanted to take her away.
With me.
She wouldn't listen to me.
She decided to betray me.
What are you saying?
What are you talking about?
I didn't want to kill her.
And I don't want to kill you.
But then
if I have to, I will.
Wanna see?
Wanna see if I will?
I kill you, then I kill myself.
What do you think?
See?
You peed yourself.
You're just a fucking baby.
Stay there, and don't move.
Are you sure you don't know anything else?
You don't know where he is?
I don't know. I told you already.
You've already been reported
for violent and abusive behavior.
You want to ruin yourself?
What a bitch.
If you don't talk now,
if you don't tell me
where Pietro Riccio is,
you'll only make things worse.
You know?
Tell me what you know,
or I'll destroy you.
I don't know what he really wants to do.
He's crazy.
-I figured that out too late. I swear.
-So you spoke to him?
He called me.
He asked for a place.
A safe place for the exchange.
I'm sending you a pin for the exchange.
Come alone, or Andrea will die. Okay?
Okay. Fine.
Okay.
-How do we know he's telling the truth?
-We don't. We can only try.
I have to find him. If something happens
to Andrea or Gloria, I
-Why didn't Gloria tell you?
-I made a mistake with her.
Miss Priori, room 137.
Welcome to you and your child.
Thanks.
Good evening, ma'am.
Need anything for the night?
Nothing. Thanks.
Okay. Good night.
-Hello?
-I see you.
I'm on the other side of the square.
Walk straight ahead.
Like this?
Just a few more steps.
Where's Andrea? If you don't free my son,
I'm not fucking giving you Salvatore!
Don't worry, Andrea's fine.
He's here with me.
Run, Andrea! Run!
You're such an asshole!
You're hurting me! Ouch!
Dance!
-Get off me.
-Shut up!
-Help!
-Shut up!
Andrea!
-Are you okay?
-I'm fine.
You have to save her, okay? Go!
They went that way!
-Get off me.
-Come on.
-Get in.
-What the fuck?
-Get in!
-Pietro!
Pietro. Stop.
Listen, stop the bullshit.
You can't escape. Police are everywhere.
You think I'm scared of the police?
I'm fucked anyway.
But you'll all go down with me.
-Drop the gun.
-Stop right there, Judge!
Or I swear to God, I'll shoot.
Shoot!
The bitch thought
she could screw me with a toy gun.
Sergio!
Sergio.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
It's over. Over.
How's Salvatore?
In a safe place. At least, I hope.
Hey, let me through!
Let me through.
-Stop right there.
-That's my family.
Let him through. Go, Andrea. Go see them.
My love.
It's the first time you've hugged me.
He's been going on like this for an hour.
I'm already shaking.
Tell me what to do.
We don't deal with this kind of issue.
This is an LGBTQIA+ helpline.
Hey, I know perfectly well who you are.
I'm part of the community too, you know?
I've always called you
in times of need, and
Now I need help to make
this baby stop crying.
Sorry, we can't be of any help.
Please, do something, anything.
Come to the rescue.
EIGHTEEN MONTHS LATER
Here comes the fried Bolognese pasta.
Come on, eat up. We made it for you.
Hi, my dear Marina.
You'd have really liked this, I know.
You would have liked
to see your kids smiling.
-Nothing for me?
-No?
And you'd have liked to see Andrea here,
celebrating his birthday.
Aunties, not too much
Our son decided to enroll in Lecce
for his last two years of school.
Let's hope it works, Marina.
I'll try my best, I promise.
I don't know if I'll succeed.
But I want to give it a shot. Really.
I miss you, Marina. I miss you a lot.
Everything is perfect,
but it would be
even better if you were here with me.
What are you thinking?
Nothing. For once I'm not thinking.
Arianna and I are leaving in two days.
Her school starts soon.
Will you take them too?
Andrea's friends from Naples.
No. I wouldn't want to alarm you, but
I heard them planning.
They want to visit the olive grove
with Andrea's cousins.
Fine. They'll go to school too,
eventually.
They'll go back to Naples, and finally
You and Andrea will be alone.
Well, we'll come visit.
And you'll come visit us.
Listen.
I was considering asking
for a transfer to Lecce.
So me, Arianna and Salvatore
could be close to you and Andrea.
Say something. Don't just stand there.
What should I say? That I'd be happy?
Very happy?
Happy is a word one shouldn't say.
But it's wonderful to hear.
Since the music is not really
what we asked for,
I had a little talk with the DJ.
Go, DJ!
Go, Arianna!
Gloria
Gloria
You're missing in the air
Gloria
This hand is missing you
Gloria
As it works slowly, Gloria
Gloria
This mouth is missing you, Gloria
It no longer touches food, Gloria
It's always the same story, Gloria
That I'm calling her Gloria
