When the Mist Clears (2022) - full transcript

(upbeat music)

(upbeat energetic music)

- I enjoyed our last session.

It really felt like a huge step forwards.

It's really helps to know more

about your past relationships.

Did you manage to make time
to speak to your father?

Isabella, in your last session,

we ended on a dream you keep having.

I'd like to go back through my notes

and explore the dream further with you.



You mention it's always on a boat

and you have a relationship with a man.

He's older, clever, rich, handsome,

unpredictable but violent.

You stayed with him even it hurt you

and it's not safe.

Is there a part of you

that likes the treatment, the attention.

Are you always naked in the dream.

(gentle piano music)

Were there happy moments?

(upbeat rock music)

(upbeat rock music)

(Isabella screams)



What about sex?

When was better during bad
moments or during good ones?

- I have a question for you.

- Yes

- [Isabella] How often
do you think of me naked?

- Never, I...

- Do I make you feel nervous?

Come closer.

That was a really great session.

I feel so much clearer
now. See you next week.

(door opens)

(door closes)

(clock ticking)

(phone rings)

(Frank speaks in foreign language)

- Martin, hello.

Yes. What?

You canceled her appointments.

What, all of them?

Martin, I have paid you for
three months in advance.

There aren't any other
therapist, you were the last.

What do you mean?

She did what!

That's it.

I've had it up to here with
with that girl, I've had enough.

- Frank.
- I'm finished with her.

- What happened?

- That was martin on the phone,

he just told me that
she tried to seduce him

in the consulting rooms.

- Frank, sit down, come on.

- It's unbelievable.

- Frank.

- I'm at my wits end with that girl.

Everything I do, she
tries to humiliate me.

After everything I have
done for that child,

the best school, the best education.

I buy her a car.
- I know.

- I give her the best clothes.

- I know Frank. But we
have to do something.

Maybe we need to try a
different approach with her.

What about we go to that
place we talked about

in the countryside.

Monte Berico Estate.

- No.

- Why don't we go there?
- No.

- The three of us, it's
gonna be a family retreat.

It's gonna be fun.

- We will kill each other.
- Please.

Listen, we will not kill each other

because I'm gonna be there.

We can rent the place for us

and you can spend some time with her,

try to talk to Isabella.

Come on, say yes.

- Don't you think I have tried?

- Please.

- She can't stand being
in the same room as me.

- Well, she will be forced
to be in the same room.

You have to make an effort too.

- Well, it's not me that you
gonna have to convince easily.

- Well, we can start with you.

It's gonna be good, I promise.

- That's cheating.

You don't look at me with
those big brown eyes.

- Well, it's a yes, right?

We are gonna have a lot of
fun, it's gonna be beautiful.

I'm gonna wear beautiful dresses.

It's gonna be amazing, I promise.

Isabella, how was your day?

- Isabella, I want to
have a word with you.

- [Claudia] Frank.

- I took a telephone
call from your therapist

this afternoon, Martin.

He told me what you were trying to do

in his consulting room of all places.

Don't you realize how
inappropriate this behavior is?

This is another therapist that we've lost.

- [Isabella] The reason I
don't like that therapist

is because he tried to fuck me.

- What!

- Yes, he touched me.
- Frank.

- I've heard all this before.

Don't you think I've
heard all this before.

Well, Claudia and I have made a decision.

We are going away for few
weeks just the three of us

and we are going to try and reconnect.

- I'm not going anywhere.

- Isabella.

- Isabella, don't you
turn your back on me.

It will be the last thing you will do

in this house, I swear.

You will go to your room
and you will pack your bags

and you will leave this house

or you are coming with us tomorrow.

Do you understand, I'll
stop your allowance,

I'll take your car off you?

- [Isabella] Fine.

- Well, that went well.

(Vivian speaks in foreign language)

- Welcome! Welcome to Monte Berico Estate.

- Vivian?
- I'm Vivian.

Nice to finally meet you.

- And this is my husband.

- Hello.
- Hi, Vivian.

- Hello, Vivian, I'm Frank.

- And this is Isabella.

- Isabella.

Let me show you around,

Fabio is gonna take care of your luggage.

- [Claudia] Fantastic.

- There's so much to see.

Would you like a short or a long tour?

- [Isabella] Short.

- A long one I think would be amazing.

- Everything you see on this estate

we gonna bring in our kitchen.

Everything you eat is fresh made here.

(bright music)

And this is our main pool.

You can sunbath all day long

and we will bring you some
fresh drinks for the garden.

So as I said, we have golden fish there.

And after you practice some
yoga with us in the mornings,

you could also come in the
kitchen and help us around.

- [Claudia] Fantastic.

I would love that.

- Yes, our guest can join us in all areas.

(bright music)

Come, come, come, this is a
nice surprise for Isabella,

because that's where you're
gonna stay all by yourself.

- [Isabella] Well, enjoy the tour.

- [Vivian] If you guys wanted
to see some fresh fruits?

- Yes, yes, carry on with the tour.

- [Vivian] The chicken.

We could collect some fruits and pears.

- [Claudia] Absolutely we can.

(gentle morose music)

- He wants nine you give him six.

(gentle morose music)

I have to go.

(gentle morose music)

- [Fabio] Hey, Matt.

- Hey, Fabio.

- Hi, you ready to work?

- Sure.

- A lot to do.

- As always

- Okay, first thing, the lower field,

cut all that grass again.

- Okay.

- Orchards, lemons,
apples, collect those up.

- All right.

- Okay, I trust you.

One family for the whole month today.

- Yeah, a whole month.

Do you honestly think they
will stay for the whole month?

- You never know.

- I was just thinking about the family

that was here before them.

They say that they were
going to stay for a month

but they left after two weeks.

(Fabio chuckles)

Don't get me wrong, what I think is just

that they might like
the idea of being here.

They want to come here because
they want to disconnect

from the city, they want to
get in touch with nature.

But as soon as they
experience how life is here,

all the insects, all the
smell, all the hard work,

they just get bored and
tired, and they go home.

- Yeah, it's tough.

Give 'em a chance, all right.

- Okay.

- Keep an eye on them,
especially the daughter.

- She's pretty, isn't she?

- Okay, get to work. Get out of here.

She's pretty.

(people chatting)

- Winner.

- Go easy on those guys.

You wiped them out.

- You guys should work on your poker face.

- We don't have poker faces.

- Oh, really. What about that moment.

- [Matt] Not as good as you.

- Well, meanwhile, I will
keep adding to my dress fund.

- Oh, it's for dresses.

Okay, well you look
better in dresses than me,

so I better let you win.

- I like this one.

(both chuckles)

- Get some sleep.

- Yeah.

- So, are there really snakes here?

- Oh yeah, Especially at night.

I see you didn't take
my advice about shoes.

We had a long day, followed
by an early morning.

Have a good night.

Watch your step.

(lively music)

(birds chirping)

(upbeat rock music)

(man sings song in foreign language)

(somber music)

- Are you sure you won't
come with us, Isabella?

Claudia, come on let's go.

- Frank, just wait for me in
the car, will take one minute.

It's beautiful.

Isabella, I know how is
it when you miss somebody

that you love.

You must miss him very much.

I lost my parents when I
was seven in a car accident

and I lost my husband
and I found your dad.

He really, really cares about you.

Are you sure you don't wanna come with us?

Why don't you give him a chance?

Listen, I know I'm not your mother

but we can still be friends, right?

You know I don't have to like you,

I don't have to care about you,

but I actually do.

And I'm quiet stubborn, I'm
not gonna give up on you.

And you have a chance with him.

You don't wanna waste too much time.

This is our chance to be a family.

Hey,

think about it.

(insects chirping)

- Hey, you, can you take me to the town.

- I don't drive, you could ask Matt.

- You, can you take me to the town.

- I can't today.

- [Isabella] Why?

- We have got a lot to do.

You could walk.

- How far is it?

- About nine miles.

- Are you joking right.

- [Matt] Nope.

- Fuck.

(insects chirping)

(Isabella screams)

(Fabio screams)

- What the fuck are you doing here?

- Are you okay? I heard you screaming.

What's going on.

- There is a snake there.

- [Matt] What's happening,

what's wrong.
- There is a snake there.

- Okay, stand back.

This is your snake.

Take care of this.

- Have a good night.

- I'm sorry, he leaves things out.

Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- Okay, have a good night.

- I hate this place.

- You really hate it?

- Yeah.

- Why?

- It's too quiet and dangerous.

- It can be quiet, it can be good,

maybe you are looking at the wrong parts,

'cause there's so much to do here.

Maybe you should try it out.

- Try what?

- Just see what's around you,
experience it a little bit.

- I think I can handle it.

- You do?

- Yeah, prove me.

- Okay, you think you could
last a proper days work.

- Yeah.

- Really, alright, I am
not gonna go easy on you.

- Okay.

- It's gonna be early.

- Where?

- 5 a.m. at the barn.

- 5 a.m. there, we will see.
- Yeah.

- Okay. Good night.

so I don't really have
time for a relationship.

We have a lot to do as you know.

How about you?

- Are Matt and Vivian together?

- No, no, they are just
really good friends,

they met when they were kids

and now they are just
like brothers and sisters.

Just really good friends.

- How did you end up working here?

- This is a funny story,

I was leading another kind of life,

I was part of a circus.

It was pretty amazing.

We're on tour, we performed
right here on these fields.

And we did a couple of
shows, everything went great.

I was a trapeze artist

and let me say that I was pretty good it,

and I used to perform without a hat.

And one night, I made
mistake and so I fell.

I broke my back and I broke my arm.

Yeah, it took me a little
bit to get back on my feet.

But in that moment, Matt came

and he just offered me a second chance.

He offered me a job,

he offered me the
possibility to live here.

- I am so sorry to hear that
you had to go through that.

- It doesn't matter,

I mean sometimes life can be tricky

but I think that you
have to take what comes.

- Sorry, I have to go to get ready now.

- Yeah, sure. You're the guest.

- Well, thank you for inviting me.

We should cheers.

- Cheers.

So you cook pretty well.

- Yeah, I didn't cook.

- I know, you have helped.

I saw him, Fabio is a good guy.

- Yeah, he is really a good guy.

- Hmm.

- I was talking with him,

I thought you were engaged with Vivian.

- Engaged?

- Like in love.

(Matt laughs)

- No, I've known Vivian forever.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

She used to live with my
family when we were younger.

We were really good friends.

Everyone here's really good people

and I try to surround myself
with really good people.

- Yeah, everyone is really friendly here.

- Yeah, they are nice.

- So you're free, you're single.

- Yeah, I guess you could say that.

- I had a really, really good time.

- Yeah, me too.

- Thank you for making food with help.

So I should go, I have
to work in the morning.

- You have to go?

- Yeah, I should go, but thank you.

- Okay.

- Okay.

See you.

- Good night.

(door closes)

(birds chirping)

- Hey, how was the wedding?

- Was that Isabella?

- Yeah.
- Wow.

- She is happy.

- We should go away more often.

(Claudia laughs)

(insects chirping)

- So you live with your parents at home?

- Oh, they are not my real parents.

Yeah I figured, Frank
is your stepdad, right?

He is British.

- Actually, Claudia, she is my stepmother,

Frank is my biological father.

Of course, yeah. he's British.

- But you're so Italian.

- Yeah, I grew up with my mom

and then she died of cancer when I was 13.

From there, my father works a lot

so I was always with my babysitter.

From one babysitter to another one

and then to psychotherapists.

Yeah, it was really hard for me.

- That sounds pretty tough.

You like it here?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- My mom would love this place.

- Yeah,

I like having you here.

- Now I do.

(bell rings)

(gentle music)

(Frank laughs)

(gentle music)

(Claudia laughs)

(Isabella and Claudia scream)

- I wanted to show.

- This seems like a magic place.

- These are all olive trees.

- I love these leaves.

- They say if you up root a tree

and move it somewhere

then it doesn't bare as good fruit.

- Wow.

- These tress like me

have been here for a while.

Actually, I can't stand olives.

- What?
- They are horrible.

- Really?

So, why are we here?

- Hey, Isabella.
- Hello.

- How are you?

- Yeah, we are great.

We at pool. You're going?

- Beautiful. Yes, it's hot...

- Isabella, we were thinking

maybe we would leave a bit earlier.

planning with Vivian

to make dinner for you.

- Dinner?
- Yeah.

- Who is cooking?

- [Isabella] Me.

Fabulous, yeah, let's do that.

Look forward to that.

That's fantastic.

- Bye. She's cooking.

- It's the weather, it's the heat.

- [Claudia] That's lovely.

- So you were saying, you went to Corsica.

- Yeah, I have been there
almost every year of my life.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Why? Did your parents like it?

- Yeah, the nature there is breathtaking.

So beautiful.

- It looks like the storm is coming.

- Oh no, how about the barn.

- That's a great idea.
- Yes.

- Let's move everything.

(clouds thundering)

(Claudia laughing)

- [Isabella] Wow, you did it?

- [Claudia] It's raining like crazy.

- How are you?
- Oh my God!

You look beautiful.

- Well, we have a different
location tonight, improvised.

- [Claudia] Wonderful.

- [Isabella] Because it was raining.

- But I hope you will enjoy the food.

- Of course, I like it even better.

- [Vivian] Please take a seat.

- [Claudia] Thank you...

- [Frank] Well, I'm gonna some more pasta,

this is fantastic.
- Some more bread?

- [Isabella] Do you like it?

- Yeah it's beautiful.

I'm impressed.
- Why not.

- [Claudia] And then
meditate and work it out...

(glass clinks)

- Today, I was working with Matt,

I help him doing some
stuff, we feed the chicken,

we picked some fruits, also
zucchini from his garden.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Well, that's all.

- So that's a nice thing.

- May I ask you a question,

how did you two meet?

- We met actually in my office
it was a business meeting.

- Oh, your office, she needed a lawyer?

- Yeah, my husband just passed away

and your father helped
me with the probate.

You know the will, taking
care of a lot of things.

- Complicated.

- We know he is really
great in doing his job.

But why did you choose him like a husband?

- Careful what you say.

- Let me think.

Should I be sincere?

- Yes, I think you should.

- Well, because he was very different

from all the other men I met before.

- I had webbed feet.

- Come on, he was different

from any other men I had met before

and he made me feel safe.

(cloud lightning)

(suspenseful music)

- I see something is
missing on this table.

How about some more wine.

- Hey, you give me your earrings.

- [Vivian] Who are you?

- Fuck you! Shut up!

You, empty your pocket

and you give me your necklace now.

- [Claudia] Isabella.

Is this a joke?

- No, come on. Quickly.

- [Matt] Gentlemen!

- [Gypsy 1] Who the fuck are you?

- You're trespassing,

you need to leave right now.

- [Gypsy 2] Tough American guy, you see.

Come on big boy, come on.

- [Matt] Stay calm.

Isabella, you okay?

Nobody needs to get hurt.

Fabio, make sure they're okay.

- [Gypsy 1] Okay. Okay.

- [Matt] Shut up and walk.

- [Gypsy 1] Okay. Okay.

- [Claudia] Isabella, you okay.

- Is everybody okay.

- [Frank] No, we are not okay.

What the hell was that about?

- Listen, I'm sorry about that.

It's just the country.

- What do you mean!

Frank.

- Are you gonna call the policy?

- Mr. Davenport, we don't call the police?

- [Claudia] What do you mean
you don't call the police...

- They don't respect the police.

We hit the nail on the head

and show them they can't mess with us

and we are safe, you're safe.

- [Isabella] Are you okay?

- Yeah.

You okay?

- Let's celebrate.

Let's just dance it off.

More wine for everyone and we celebrate.

- More wine will be good.

- Are you okay, Isabella?

- Yeah.

(everyone cheering)

(everyone singing in foreign language)

- Come on.

(everyone singing in foreign language)

- Frank, where are you going?

No, no no, this way,

come, it's this way.

- Fabio, again old friend.

Okay, come.

- [Fabio] Where do we go?

- We go to bed.

You are getting heavy. Okay.

(Matt laughs)

- Are you okay?

- Yes, I'm fine.

- Are you drunk?

- Wine, wine.

(glass clinks)

(Isabella chuckles)

- Are you drunk?

- Teeny weeny bit.

Good dancing. Good dancing.
- Yeah.

How do you know Matt?

- Matt, my brother.

I lived in England.

I always dream to live in London

and I went as a student exchange.

And his mum was like
if you like it so much

why don't you stay.

Just stay.

I stayed. Matt is like my best friend.

You should have seen him as a baby.

He'd stay in his room all
day long on his computer.

So boring.

- So boring?

- Yeah, I told him what do
you wanna become as an adult,

what's your dream?

He says, "I wanna buy
one bedroom apartment,

stay here with a big TV
and all day play games."

That was he's biggest dream.

And then he goes to America,

build a software company from scratch

and sell it for millions.

This is a guy who had a small
dreams and achieved so much.

Then he buys this estate,
then he buys buildings,

he's so adventurous.

He's not a boring guy anymore.

He build that building and
planted those lemon trees.

He owns this entire property,

a couple of properties

in the town.
- What do you mean?

Matt owned all of this place?

- Just I think I had a
little too much to drink.

I think I have to go to bed.

(Vivian speaks in foreign language)

(bright music)

(insects chirping)

(door knocks)

- Isabella.

- Come in.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You okay?

- Yes, come here.

- What's up.

(Matt chuckles)

What? Are you okay?

- Why don't you tell me
that you own all this place?

- Vivian.

- Yeah.

- It's kind of complicated I guess.

I mean It's not a secret.

I just don't like how people treat you

when they think you are
important or wealthy

or you have land.

They look at you differently.

So, I'm just doing what makes me happy.

And right now I feel happy
just working on the land

and enjoying it and not
dealing with the bullshit,

fake people and I want something real.

So, tell me, what's really important,

- I think having someone
who cares about you

is really important.

Like someone who asks you every day

how are you and he really cares about you.

Sometimes I think

maybe this person loves me,

maybe this person not but when
you feel it, it's different.

- Yeah.

- You don't have to think maybe

you just have to feel it
'cause in that way its real

if you feel it.
- Yeah.

(insects chirping)

- [Frank] Hi, Isabella.

- Hi.
- Isabella, how are you?

- Fine. You?

- Yeah, we are great.

We're gonna have some drinks
in about half an hour.

Why don't you come and join us.

- Yes, of course.

- Yeah, I'm gonna go fix the drinks,

why don't you have that chat.

- Let's take a walk.

- Are you okay?

- There is something have
been meaning to tell you

for a long time but never
seemed to be the right time

and it was about us, about family,

about your mother and it
goes back to long, long way.

We were so looking forward to you coming,

your arrival, you know, but the delivery,

well, she was in a lot of pain.

I think deep down, I think she blamed me

and for a little while
afterwards she was depressed

and I never noticed, I
was so engaged in my work,

I didn't see it coming.

When you were three years
old she had an affair.

I found out by accident, and
as you do with these things.

And I had a big decision to make

and I didn't know what to do.

I came home and there was you.

(speaks in foreign language)

So, I made the decision,
that I would wait,

that this affair would fizzle out

and in time she would come
back to me so I waited.

I waited for her to come back to me.

And then when you were just
starting boarding school,

she fell ill, she was taken into hospital

with renal failure and
they diagnosed cancer.

They gave her a lot of test

and then gave her back
to me in a wheel chair

and some tubes in her back.

And they said you can
take her home which I did

and I remember taking you school

and coming back to look after your mother

and I nursed her as well as I could.

And when she was resting,

I went to the computer and
learnt a whole new language.

(speaks in foreign language)

I watched her as she wasted away.

And there was a time when
I knew I was loosing her

and I looked into her eyes
and said "Do you wanna live."

And she very weakly said, "Yeah."

So I looked into her eyes harder

and I said "Do you want to live?"

and she said, "Yeah."

So I said, "If you eat, you live, simple."

I was just looking for a
little victory, anything.

We tried but she couldn't
keep anything down.

What we found was ginger worked.

And she managed to eat simple food

and it was like a miracle,
I couldn't believe it.

Six weeks later she was walking about.

It's fantastic.

Christmas came, you came home from school

and it was wonderful

and you went back.

And then about two-three weeks afterwards,

she collapsed and she was
rushed into a hospital

and she was bleeding
and we couldn't stop it

and we both knew this was the end.

And she wanted to confess to me.

She wanted to tell me about her affair

and I said, "I knew."

Then she said something,

she told me that she had fallen in love,

and I knew she was never coming
back to me in that moments.

All those years I'd waited.

And then I watched the
light go out of her eyes

and in that moment, you
lost both two parents.

I'm so sorry.

So sorry.

A few years went by and I
don't even remember them,

I'm in the office and this woman comes in,

looking for some advice,

she lost her husband and she
was like a force of nature.

I helped her with some probate problems.

She seemed to be everywhere all at once

and she rescued me.

Claudia.

Claudia loves me unconditionally

and I want you to know

that I love you and I always have,

I always will, and I want you.

I just want you to give me another chance,

I want to be your father.

Will you give me another chance?

- Yes.

- What's this. This is lovely.

- This is for us.

- No. Of course it's for
you, it's for your trip.

- Ah, so sweet.

- [Vivian] This is for you,

this is for your tea in the morning.

I hope you enjoyed it.

- [Frank] Absolutely fantastic.

- I don't wanna leave.
- Why don't you stay with us?

- [Isabella] We will come back.

- Come back soon, okay.

- [Isabella] Of course.

- [Vivian] It was fun.

- Stop the car, stop the car...

- [Frank] Okay.

(bright music)

- If I am not interrupting anything,

would somebody please
tell me what's happening?

- Isabella.

- I want to stay here.

- What, with farm boy here, the American.

- Darling, nobody's perfect.

- You can stay as long as you like.

You can all stay.

- Yeah, right so you have got
the authority to say that.

- Yes, I am the owner.

- Of course, he's the owner,

what about the guy with
the suit and the beard.

- This is my land.

Sergio is my accountant.

- Your accountant?
- Yeah.

- She is gonna be fine.

She's a young beautiful woman.

She had never been that happy. Let's go.

- Now you are trespassing.

I could get my bodyguard
Fabio to escort you.

- No, thank you, that will
not be necessary, right?

Let's go.

- But, I have questions.

- Let's go. I will
explain to you in the car.

- You are staying?

- Yeah.
