- Sorry.
STEFANIA:Yes? Here I am, tell me.
Ma'am, good morning.
- What are you doing here?
- I have a job for you.
What are you doing exactly?
LEO:We got blackmailed
by the League.
Even if they got less votes
than us, they have more MPs.
- LEO:We have to take them back.
- VERONICA:How?
LEO:Convincing as many Northern League people
as possible to switch to Forza Italia.
(NOT HEARING ITEMS)
- LEO:You should manage to convince three of them.
- LEO:Do you feel up to it?
- VERONICA:What am I supposed to do?
LEO:Let's talk
LEO:When people see you, they
are vulnerable.
Ladies and gentlemen
and colleagues.
It is my duty to welcome you wall
First of all, I welcome whoever I see
for the first time in the chamber.
with whom we'll learn to be friends.
Popular trust
that brought you to this place
it is the most precious thing that exists.
Best wishes and good luck to you all
for you. for our beloved Italy.
for Italian democracy.
- What do we know about him?
- He's new.
The regional secretariat chose him,
not Bossi's magic circle.
Let's focus on these.
- There he is,
- LEO:He just arrived in Rome and he doesn't understand us anymore.
- LEO:Rovati!
- Hey, Notte.
- LEO:Hi.

- Hi, come on, sit down.
- Hi, Sorry.

- A vodka with orange juice.
LEO:Vodka orange.
Sorry, will you bring us an vodka orange?
MAN:Right away.
..And who ordered these?
Giancarlo, it's a painless passage.
you only have to gain.
According to European polls.
we are winning.
- They're just polls.
- LEO:So far they've been right.
Isn't it time to join
the coalition's main party?
LEO:You're a force of protest.
but now that you're in government.
why protest again?
- To obtain federalism.
- LEO:Of course.
Who can get you there?
Bossi or Berlusconi?
Silvio is someone who changes
your life. Look at me.
I see you, I see you, I see you.
- Sorry, I have to be up early
- Okay.
LEO:No, carry on without me.
Maybe Rovati may need to
ask you something.
- Leo.
- LEO:You are my guests.
- LEO:Bye, Rovati.
- ROVATI:Bye.
Oh, see you.
So dear you have all
night to convince me.
Let's go talk at my hotel.
It's nearby, do you want to?
I'm sorry.
Where are you going?
Where are you going?
VERONICA:Leo!
- VERONICA:Take me home.
- MAN:Please.
- VERONICA:Sorry.
- Hey, how did it go with Rovati?
Di you take me for an idiot?
"When people see you, they
are vulnerable", Bullshit!
Look where you got to.
You have to prove it to know how
to move in this world.
Are you serious? And who the fuck are you?
One who knows you well
and who never judged you.
I should have left you for dead
We don't have to be ashamed
of what we are.
- Interesting, so would I be a bitch?
- No.
You are the most beautiful woman I know.
beauty is power.
Three League men must come to us.
Can I count on it?
No, fuck you, You don't understand.
this time I'm serious.
- Miss Castille , come with me.
- No come on,
- Come come.
- Leave me.
- Wait up.
- BERLUSCONI:Here she is.
- VERONICA:What is this?
PILGRIMS:There was a vote
among the members
Guess who was elected
Miss Parliament.
- Vote?
- A cross part vote, majority and opposition.
I chose it, huh.
Sorry.
Of course she has an ass that speaks.
- BOSCO:I was looking for you.
- VERONICA:I missed you.
Aren't youu going get me to
swich party, like the others?
- What are you talking about?
- You know very well.
We just chatted, it's normal.
- What do you know what is normal?
- Pardon?
Who knows how you got here
They elected me, like you.
Do you know what you don't like?
Democracy?
Miss Parliament!
Only they could elect you.
If I'm not mistaken, you only won
because of proportional votes.
Bravo, follow my career in
politics with great interest.
Career?
You understood that they put you here
to make the beautiful figurine?
Leave our people alone.
If not, what will you do? Hit me?
You can clean up as much as you like.
in here...
Everyone knows who you really are.
Rovati only told you
because I didn't give in to him!
MELANDRI:He humiliated me
before the commission
and repeated:
"Melandri, don't whine!"
MELANDRI:Do you understand?
Okay, I'll call you, thanks.
Everything OJ?
Have we met before?
VERONICA:It's tough, huh?
You can prepare as much as you want.
but they just wait for you to turn around
to look at your ass, this is.
Oh well.
Do you know why they do it?
Why they can,
nobody forbids it.
- Even if we are deputies, to them we are furniture,
- When it's okay.
We are in a country where rape
is a crime against morality
and not against the person.
- VERONICA:Really?
- Yes, really.
I'm working on a bill
written by women for women.
because severe penalties are needed
against sexual violence.
Quite right.
- I'll see you.
- Yup.
I have it, he signed.
- We're here too.
- MELANDRI:What, sorry?
For the bill, we want to help.
Thanks but no.
it is an initiative within our party.
You said.
"written by women for women".
VERONICA:The more of us, the better.
It's not such a big deal to
have Miss Parliament with us.
- Come on let's go.
- Let me understand.
Now you're discriminating against me
You're only against discrimination towards you?
Sorry, Giovanna.
Look, she's right.
This doesn't concern
just us on the left
A cross-party alliance on this will be stronger
- Anna, I'll talk to the secretary about it.
- No, it's our initiative.
FINOCCHIARO:Welcome.
- Welcome.
- STEFANIA:Thanks.
How many times do I have to repeat it to you?
I get it.
Sorry, I'm late.
- You know the honorable..
- FINOCCHIARO:Mussolini, yes.
Don't discriminate her because of
her surname
- Pleasure,
- MUSSOLINI:Hi.
- No, for heaven's sake
FINOCCHIARO:See you tomorrow.
there will also be Sesa Amici.
- Pleasure.
- VERONICA:Nice to meet you.
- VERONICA:Hi.
- Let's start.
This is the provisional text
drawn up by lawyers
We have to make up to 13 items
if not, they don't read it all.
For years we have been trying to make the law
against violence on women.
- It always went wrong.
- It should be sacrosanct, who opposed it?
Openly nobody.
in words they all agree.
When to put it on the calendar ,,.
We have to write a proposal
that is untouchable.
FINOCCHIARO:Shall we start?
Sesa, do you want to read?
SESA:"It is estimated that,,,
(VERONICA DIALS A NUMBER)
- GIULIA:Ma'am.
- Giulia.
- Little sister, you remember me sometimes,
- I need a favor.
- Exactly, let's hear it.
(Indistinct voices)
- Good morning.
- Read here.
FINOCCHIARO:Look.
With 347 votes, she is elected
President of the Chamber of Deputies
Irene Pivetti.
(INAUDIBLE ITEMS)
Irene Pivetti!
- MELANDRI:You're right.
- SESA:Indeed, even in my opinion.
I'll pick up the phone and call him.
- How many coffees?
- (together) Coffee.
- Decaff for me.
- Really!
With this bill
we want more severe penalties
in defence of women.
but not for revenge.
What must stop is
"extenuating circumstances"
settlements
and any compensation for damage.
so that whoever rapes
remains free and unpunished.
- WOMAN:Another photo.
- MAN:Over here.
- MAN 2:One moment.
- MAN 3:Please, Ma'am.
How are you?
Very well, thank you.
I'm here to find out if you're doing
what you've been told.
I'm working on a bill
against violence on women
and you want me to give blowjobs
to those League guys?
- I wasn't that specific.
- Witty, now get out of here.
Your decree
is signed by Melandri and friends.
PDS.
Veronica, you are
working for the enemy.
No, we''re improving women's lives.
Isn't that why we're here?
To improve things?
They asked me to make a list
of parliamentarians
who have been.
showing interest.
ability and a spirit of sacrifice.
Here are the others.
Those who will not be re-nominated.
What list do you want to be on?
MELANDRI:Then Truffaut.
"The lady next door,"
- Depardieu is creepy.
- You're too sophisticated.
A love movie
what made you cry?
- "Officer and gentleman".
- Beautiful!
- MUSSOLINI:I believe you!
If you replace Depardieu
with Richard Gere, I'm in.
- Me:"When Harry Met Sally,"
- I,,.
- Maybe "Pretty woman".
- Also.
For "Pretty woman"
they shot a different ending.
where they both returned
to their old lives.
- She went back to being a whore.
- Alessandra, what do you say?
- FINOCCHIARO:Here is Sesa.
- (together) Hi.
STEFANIA:Now that we're all.
we can make a nice toast.
We've been good, we can say it.
- It's just a bill...
- That hasn't been given parliamentary time
- STEFANIA:What do you say?
- Eh?
- MUSSOLINI:Here.
It's a law signed by you. why don't they support you?
SESA:The opposition has very little time available
and that space is occupied.
- STEFANIA:How do we proceed?
- Sorry.
We have a President of the Chamber
who is a woman and is our age.
- We ask Pivetti,
- She can put pressure on group leaders.
- If you want ,,.
- It seems bigoted to me.
Bigot, you say?
Someone tried to sell to a magazine one of her photos, naked.
- Do you understand Pivetti?
- SESA:For 70 million.
They will never publish them.
Instead of mine? Every two for you!
Damn me and when I did
the photos for "Playboy".
- Then shut up with you, how do you do it?
- I blackmail them.
(LAUGHING)
- Okay, now I have to go.
Aren't you coming for dinner?
- FINOCCHIARO:Small girl.
- STEFANIA:Boyfriend.
- I'm not there, I'm going to my parents.
- What do we do with Pivetti?
Nothing.
We'll talk with the party leaders, hmm?
- Hi.
- MUSSOLINI:Hi, right.
Great, take it away.
Good morning.
- Good morning, Madam President.
- Good morning.

00:29:59,470 --> 00:30:01,830
My name is Veronica Castille.
- We stopped?
- Yup.
- Aren't we moving?
- VERONICA:I would say no.
Press the alarm, we can't stay here all day.
(ALARM)
They won't leave the third person
in the state closed in the elevator.
- My sister's name is Veronica.
- Yup?
- Older or younger?
- Yonger.
- She wants to be an actress.
- Best wishes.
It's a difficult world, huh?
What is it that is not difficult
for us women?
Sorry, but the picture that you
ordered removed
Is it the nudity that bothered you?
When I was younger.
my parents had a phase
let's say freaky.
That experience made me
allergic to obscenity forever.
That's also why,
as the newspapers say.
I dress like a
Prussian schoolmistress.
I can't believe it.
My sister and I
we lived for years
with our mother ina hippie commune.
We have something in common.
- There is no air.
- Hmm.
Sorry, are you sure?
Oh, it's working?
Strange.
Madam President, I'm part
of the group that presented
the bill
against violence on women.
- But it wasn't given time in parliament
- Say no more.
It's an important issue.
to be carefully evaluated.
but not inside an elevator.
Maybe some other time?
Can we count on your help?
- Goodbye, Veronica.
- Goodbye, Madam President.
I think our law
will be put on the calendar
to the next conference
of group leaders.
- What do you know about it?
- I spoke to Irene yesterday.
- Pivetti.
- STEFANIA:What?
VERONICA:We talked.
She's not bitch they say.
- Do she support us?
- She didn't put it in writing, but the feeling ,,.
Bravo!
Next time, let us know
before taking an initiative.
Don't be a nerd.
she was good.
What have you done?
I crossed paths with Pivetti.
She was pissed.
he says you ambushed her.
We just had a chat.
She says he doesn't accept
this kind of pressure.
- So she doesn't support us?
- No.
- What?
- Eh.
- What the hell did you say?
When did you decide
that you are our spokesperson?
Oh, calm down, huh? I did it alone
for the sake of our law.
- Our law, you added yourself afterwards
- FINOCCHIARO:Listen.
Pivetti is against us.
the group leaders feel bullied.
There is no hope of getting on the calendar.
- I really thought I was helping.
- MELANDRI:You thought wrong.
- Till next week.
- MAN:Goodbye.
- See you later.
- See you later.
Madam President.
can I talk to you for a moment?
- I don't have time.
- I didn't set a trap for you.
VERONICA:I thought we shared sentimemts
about the law for women.
I inquired about you.
Castille
You know why I removed
that picture? Because it is inconvenient.
It conveys an idea of the woman
as an object of desire.
It is not the only inconvenient figure
in this Parliament.
but I can't remove the others.
(BUZZ)
- Bad day?
- It can still get worse.
- LEO:I didn't say anything.
- VERONICA:Bravo, keep it up.
I saw a psychiatrist after I was shot
Poor you.
A psychiatrist?
He says I need to get away from
those I love, out of fear.
You're just an asshole, here's the diagnosis.
for 100,000, thanks.
- Maybe a little is true.
- What, that are you are asshole? Yep.
Listen.
I owe you an apology.
Are you apologizing to me?
Is it the midlife crisis?
I didn't thank you
for calling the ambulance.
I guess I owe you my life.
- Anyone would.
- Come on,,.
Let me say thank you.
- You're welcome,
- There was no light at the end of the tunnel.
Only darkness and death.
There is nothing after.
As long as we are here, let's take everything.
VERONICA:Leo.
do you really want to thank me?
Help me get it on the calendar
the law against rape.
I told you, we see it
as an initiative of the communists.
What if I convince three League men to switch party?
Will you have it inserted?
- What are you doing here?
- Nothing about you.
I'm looking for Mr Morra.
the honorable Viberti
and Mr Prestodin.
- Yes, wait a minute.
- Thanks.
- VERONICA:Do you have a moment?
- I'll call you.
- What's happening?
- Let me introduce you to three deputies
who have decided
to leave the League.
- You and me in the end. we always understand each other,
- Hmm.
VERONICA:Please.
Leonardo Notte, I introduce you
the Honorable Stefania Morra ,,.
- Pleasure,
- Pleasure.
- Claudia Viberti.
- Pleasure,
- Rosy Prestodin.
- PRESTODIN:Pleasure.
Veronica told us of the rape law
and that in our party
nobody supported her, so...
MORRA:We are from the League.
but first of all we are women.
Talk to Leo.
he'll explain everything to you.
("A GIRL LIKE YOU" BY EDWYN COLLINS

LEO:Please, take a seat.
- VERONICA:Good job.
- A coffee? Some water?
Castillo convinced three League deputies
to join the mixed group.
- An applause for Veronica.
- Thanks,
- Sir, they are waiting for you.
BERLUSCONI:Ma'am.
Veronica, you will be surprised.
- By what?
- Our group leader has entered the law on the calendar.
I don't know, he changed his mind.

Simona, would you like to become
the bag lady of a deputy?
- VERONICA:Of a deputy. really,
- Really?
- What does a bag lady do?
- I have no idea.
But if a man can do it...
SIMONA:Thanks.
- Hey, What are you doing here?
- Aren't you going to let me in?
The other night
I was with my colleagues
and I wanted to go to dinner with them.
but they were all busy.
Children, husbands, family.
They seemed happy.
Resolved.
They made me very sad.
Then do you know what I thought?
That I was the lucky one.
because my man is like me.
- Your man?
- You.
- I decided it.
- Ah.
And I? Do I have a say?
Quiet.
no exclusive contract.
- Ah, no?
- No, we're not like that.
Feminism has done you good.
I guess this bill
I didn't understand it well.
For example,,.
Can this be considered harassment?
Miss Castille ....
It's this one? An aggravating circumstance?
It depends.
VERONICA:When you get there
to real rape?
(DOOR OPENS)
- WOMAN:Leo?
Oops.
WOMAN:I understand.
I'll get my things.
VERONICA:Wait.
why don't you stay
What kind of people are you?
- Sorry, huh.
It's been a long time since we met
- You fucked me up!
- Calm down!
- You understand?
Go back to catching the little fish.
I'll do the investigation on Berlusconi.

than us, they have more MPs.
- LEO:We have to take them back.
- VERONICA:How?
LEO:Convincing as many Northern League people
as possible to switch to Forza Italia.
(NOT HEARING ITEMS)
- LEO:You should manage to convince three of them.
- LEO:Do you feel up to it?
- VERONICA:What am I supposed to do?
LEO:Let's talk
LEO:When people see you, they
are vulnerable.
Ladies and gentlemen
and colleagues.
It is my duty to welcome you wall
First of all, I welcome whoever I see
for the first time in the chamber.
with whom we'll learn to be friends.
Popular trust
that brought you to this place
it is the most precious thing that exists.
Best wishes and good luck to you all
for you. for our beloved Italy.
for Italian democracy.
- What do we know about him?
- He's new.
The regional secretariat chose him,
not Bossi's magic circle.
Let's focus on these.
- There he is,
- LEO:He just arrived in Rome and he doesn't understand us anymore.
- LEO:Rovati!
- Hey, Notte.

LEO:Vodka orange.
Sorry, will you bring us an vodka orange?
MAN:Right away.
..And who ordered these?
Giancarlo, it's a painless passage.
you only have to gain.
According to European polls.
we are winning.
- They're just polls.
- LEO:So far they've been right.
Isn't it time to join
the coalition's main party?
LEO:You're a force of protest.
but now that you're in government.
why protest again?
- To obtain federalism.
- LEO:Of course.
Who can get you there?
Bossi or Berlusconi?
Silvio is someone who changes
your life. Look at me.
I see you, I see you, I see you.
- Sorry, I have to be up early
- Okay.
LEO:No, carry on without me.
Maybe Rovati may need to
ask you something.
- Leo.
- LEO:You are my guests.
- LEO:Bye, Rovati.
- ROVATI:Bye.
Oh, see you.
So dear you have all
night to convince me.
Let's go talk at my hotel.
It's nearby, do you want to?
I'm sorry.
Where are you going?
Where are you going?
VERONICA:Leo!
- VERONICA:Take me home.
- MAN:Please.
- VERONICA:Sorry.
- Hey, how did it go with Rovati?
Di you take me for an idiot?
"When people see you, they
are vulnerable", Bullshit!
Look where you got to.
You have to prove it to know how
to move in this world.
Are you serious? And who the fuck are you?
One who knows you well
and who never judged you.
I should have left you for dead
We don't have to be ashamed
of what we are.
- Interesting, so would I be a bitch?
- No.
You are the most beautiful woman I know.
beauty is power.
Three League men must come to us.
Can I count on it?
No, fuck you, You don't understand.
this time I'm serious.
- Miss Castille , come with me.
- No come on,
- Come come.
- Leave me.
- Wait up.
- BERLUSCONI:Here she is.
- VERONICA:What is this?
PILGRIMS:There was a vote
among the members
Guess who was elected
Miss Parliament.
- Vote?
- A cross part vote, majority and opposition.
I chose it, huh.
Sorry.
Of course she has an ass that speaks.
- BOSCO:I was looking for you.
- VERONICA:I missed you.
Aren't youu going get me to
swich party, like the others?
- What are you talking about?
- You know very well.
We just chatted, it's normal.
- What do you know what is normal?
- Pardon?
Who knows how you got here
They elected me, like you.
Do you know what you don't like?
Democracy?
Miss Parliament!
Only they could elect you.
If I'm not mistaken, you only won
because of proportional votes.
Bravo, follow my career in
politics with great interest.
Career?
You understood that they put you here
to make the beautiful figurine?
Leave our people alone.
If not, what will you do? Hit me?
You can clean up as much as you like.
in here...
Everyone knows who you really are.
Rovati only told you
because I didn't give in to him!
MELANDRI:He humiliated me
before the commission
and repeated:
"Melandri, don't whine!"
MELANDRI:Do you understand?
Okay, I'll call you, thanks.
Everything OJ?
Have we met before?
VERONICA:It's tough, huh?
You can prepare as much as you want.
but they just wait for you to turn around
to look at your ass, this is.
Oh well.
Do you know why they do it?
Why they can,
nobody forbids it.
- Even if we are deputies, to them we are furniture,
- When it's okay.
We are in a country where rape
is a crime against morality
and not against the person.
- VERONICA:Really?
- Yes, really.
I'm working on a bill
written by women for women.
because severe penalties are needed
against sexual violence.
Quite right.
- I'll see you.
- Yup.
I have it, he signed.
- We're here too.
- MELANDRI:What, sorry?
For the bill, we want to help.
Thanks but no.
it is an initiative within our party.
You said.
"written by women for women".
VERONICA:The more of us, the better.
It's not such a big deal to
have Miss Parliament with us.
- Come on let's go.
- Let me understand.
Now you're discriminating against me
You're only against discrimination towards you?
Sorry, Giovanna.
Look, she's right.
This doesn't concern
just us on the left
A cross-party alliance on this will be stronger
- Anna, I'll talk to the secretary about it.
- No, it's our initiative.
FINOCCHIARO:Welcome.
- Welcome.
- STEFANIA:Thanks.
How many times do I have to repeat it to you?
I get it.
Sorry, I'm late.
- You know the honorable..
- FINOCCHIARO:Mussolini, yes.
Don't discriminate her because of
her surname
- Pleasure,
- MUSSOLINI:Hi.
- No, for heaven's sake
FINOCCHIARO:See you tomorrow.
there will also be Sesa Amici.
- Pleasure.
- VERONICA:Nice to meet you.
- VERONICA:Hi.
- Let's start.
This is the provisional text
drawn up by lawyers
We have to make up to 13 items
if not, they don't read it all.
For years we have been trying to make the law
against violence on women.
- It always went wrong.
- It should be sacrosanct, who opposed it?
Openly nobody.
in words they all agree.
When to put it on the calendar ,,.
We have to write a proposal
that is untouchable.
FINOCCHIARO:Shall we start?
Sesa, do you want to read?
SESA:"It is estimated that,,,
(VERONICA DIALS A NUMBER)
- GIULIA:Ma'am.
- Giulia.
- Little sister, you remember me sometimes,
- I need a favor.
- Exactly, let's hear it.
(Indistinct voices)
- Good morning.
- Read here.
FINOCCHIARO:Look.
With 347 votes, she is elected
President of the Chamber of Deputies
Irene Pivetti.
(INAUDIBLE ITEMS)
Irene Pivetti!
- MELANDRI:You're right.
- SESA:Indeed, even in my opinion.
I'll pick up the phone and call him.
- How many coffees?
- (together) Coffee.
- Decaff for me.
- Really!
With this bill
we want more severe penalties
in defence of women.
but not for revenge.
What must stop is
"extenuating circumstances"
settlements
and any compensation for damage.
so that whoever rapes
remains free and unpunished.
- WOMAN:Another photo.
- MAN:Over here.
- MAN 2:One moment.
- MAN 3:Please, Ma'am.
How are you?
Very well, thank you.
I'm here to find out if you're doing
what you've been told.
I'm working on a bill
against violence on women
and you want me to give blowjobs
to those League guys?
- I wasn't that specific.
- Witty, now get out of here.
Your decree
is signed by Melandri and friends.
PDS.
Veronica, you are
working for the enemy.
No, we''re improving women's lives.
Isn't that why we're here?
To improve things?
They asked me to make a list
of parliamentarians
who have been.
showing interest.
ability and a spirit of sacrifice.
Here are the others.
Those who will not be re-nominated.
What list do you want to be on?
MELANDRI:Then Truffaut.
"The lady next door,"
- Depardieu is creepy.
- You're too sophisticated.
A love movie
what made you cry?
- "Officer and gentleman".
- Beautiful!
- MUSSOLINI:I believe you!
If you replace Depardieu
with Richard Gere, I'm in.
- Me:"When Harry Met Sally,"
- I,,.
- Maybe "Pretty woman".
- Also.
For "Pretty woman"
they shot a different ending.
where they both returned
to their old lives.
- She went back to being a whore.
- Alessandra, what do you say?
- FINOCCHIARO:Here is Sesa.
- (together) Hi.
STEFANIA:Now that we're all.
we can make a nice toast.
We've been good, we can say it.
- It's just a bill...
- That hasn't been given parliamentary time
- STEFANIA:What do you say?
- Eh?
- MUSSOLINI:Here.
It's a law signed by you. why don't they support you?
SESA:The opposition has very little time available
and that space is occupied.
- STEFANIA:How do we proceed?
- Sorry.
We have a President of the Chamber
who is a woman and is our age.
- We ask Pivetti,
- She can put pressure on group leaders.
- If you want ,,.
- It seems bigoted to me.
Bigot, you say?
Someone tried to sell to a magazine one of her photos, naked.
- Do you understand Pivetti?
- SESA:For 70 million.
They will never publish them.
Instead of mine? Every two for you!
Damn me and when I did
the photos for "Playboy".
- Then shut up with you, how do you do it?
- I blackmail them.
(LAUGHING)
- Okay, now I have to go.
Aren't you coming for dinner?
- FINOCCHIARO:Small girl.
- STEFANIA:Boyfriend.
- I'm not there, I'm going to my parents.
- What do we do with Pivetti?
Nothing.
We'll talk with the party leaders, hmm?
- Hi.
- MUSSOLINI:Hi, right.
Great, take it away.
Good morning.
- Good morning, Madam President.
- Good morning.

My name is Veronica Castille.
- We stopped?
- Yup.
- Aren't we moving?
- VERONICA:I would say no.
Press the alarm, we can't stay here all day.
(ALARM)
They won't leave the third person
in the state closed in the elevator.
- My sister's name is Veronica.
- Yup?
- Older or younger?
- Yonger.
- She wants to be an actress.
- Best wishes.
It's a difficult world, huh?
What is it that is not difficult
for us women?
Sorry, but the picture that you
ordered removed
Is it the nudity that bothered you?
When I was younger.
my parents had a phase
let's say freaky.
That experience made me
allergic to obscenity forever.
That's also why,
as the newspapers say.
I dress like a
Prussian schoolmistress.
I can't believe it.
My sister and I
we lived for years
with our mother ina hippie commune.
We have something in common.
- There is no air.
- Hmm.
Sorry, are you sure?
Oh, it's working?
Strange.
Madam President, I'm part
of the group that presented
the bill
against violence on women.
- But it wasn't given time in parliament
- Say no more.
It's an important issue.
to be carefully evaluated.
but not inside an elevator.
Maybe some other time?
Can we count on your help?
- Goodbye, Veronica.
- Goodbye, Madam President.
I think our law
will be put on the calendar
to the next conference
of group leaders.
- What do you know about it?
- I spoke to Irene yesterday.
- Pivetti.
- STEFANIA:What?
VERONICA:We talked.
She's not bitch they say.
- Do she support us?
- She didn't put it in writing, but the feeling ,,.
Bravo!
Next time, let us know
before taking an initiative.
Don't be a nerd.
she was good.
What have you done?
I crossed paths with Pivetti.
She was pissed.
he says you ambushed her.
We just had a chat.
She says he doesn't accept
this kind of pressure.
- So she doesn't support us?
- No.
- What?
- Eh.
- What the hell did you say?
When did you decide
that you are our spokesperson?
Oh, calm down, huh? I did it alone
for the sake of our law.
- Our law, you added yourself afterwards
- FINOCCHIARO:Listen.
Pivetti is against us.
the group leaders feel bullied.
There is no hope of getting on the calendar.
- I really thought I was helping.
- MELANDRI:You thought wrong.
- Till next week.
- MAN:Goodbye.
- See you later.
- See you later.
Madam President.
can I talk to you for a moment?
- I don't have time.
- I didn't set a trap for you.
VERONICA:I thought we shared sentimemts
about the law for women.
I inquired about you.
Castille
You know why I removed
that picture? Because it is inconvenient.
It conveys an idea of the woman
as an object of desire.
It is not the only inconvenient figure
in this Parliament.
but I can't remove the others.
(BUZZ)
- Bad day?
- It can still get worse.
- LEO:I didn't say anything.
- VERONICA:Bravo, keep it up.
I saw a psychiatrist after I was shot
Poor you.
A psychiatrist?
He says I need to get away from
those I love, out of fear.
You're just an asshole, here's the diagnosis.
for 100,000, thanks.
- Maybe a little is true.
- What, that are you are asshole? Yep.
Listen.
I owe you an apology.
Are you apologizing to me?
Is it the midlife crisis?
I didn't thank you
for calling the ambulance.
I guess I owe you my life.
- Anyone would.
- Come on,,.
Let me say thank you.
- You're welcome,
- There was no light at the end of the tunnel.
Only darkness and death.
There is nothing after.
As long as we are here, let's take everything.
VERONICA:Leo.
do you really want to thank me?
Help me get it on the calendar
the law against rape.
I told you, we see it
as an initiative of the communists.
What if I convince three League men to switch party?
Will you have it inserted?
- What are you doing here?
- Nothing about you.
I'm looking for Mr Morra.
the honorable Viberti
and Mr Prestodin.
- Yes, wait a minute.
- Thanks.
- VERONICA:Do you have a moment?
- I'll call you.
- What's happening?
- Let me introduce you to three deputies
who have decided
to leave the League.
- You and me in the end. we always understand each other,
- Hmm.
VERONICA:Please.
Leonardo Notte, I introduce you
the Honorable Stefania Morra ,,.
- Pleasure,
- Pleasure.
- Claudia Viberti.
- Pleasure,
- Rosy Prestodin.
- PRESTODIN:Pleasure.
Veronica told us of the rape law
and that in our party
nobody supported her, so...
MORRA:We are from the League.
but first of all we are women.
Talk to Leo.
he'll explain everything to you.
("A GIRL LIKE YOU" BY EDWYN COLLINS

LEO:Please, take a seat.
- VERONICA:Good job.
- A coffee? Some water?
Castillo convinced three League deputies
to join the mixed group.
- An applause for Veronica.
- Thanks,
- Sir, they are waiting for you.
BERLUSCONI:Ma'am.
Veronica, you will be surprised.
- By what?
- Our group leader has entered the law on the calendar.
I don't know, he changed his mind.

Simona, would you like to become
the bag lady of a deputy?
- VERONICA:Of a deputy. really,
- Really?
- What does a bag lady do?
- I have no idea.
But if a man can do it...
SIMONA:Thanks.
- Hey, What are you doing here?
- Aren't you going to let me in?
The other night
I was with my colleagues
and I wanted to go to dinner with them.
but they were all busy.
Children, husbands, family.
They seemed happy.
Resolved.
They made me very sad.
Then do you know what I thought?
That I was the lucky one.
because my man is like me.
- Your man?
- You.
- I decided it.
- Ah.
And I? Do I have a say?
Quiet.
no exclusive contract.
- Ah, no?
- No, we're not like that.
Feminism has done you good.
I guess this bill
I didn't understand it well.
For example,,.
Can this be considered harassment?
Miss Castille ....
It's this one? An aggravating circumstance?
It depends.
VERONICA:When you get there
to real rape?
(DOOR OPENS)
- WOMAN:Leo?
Oops.
WOMAN:I understand.
I'll get my things.
VERONICA:Wait.
why don't you stay
What kind of people are you?
- Sorry, huh.
It's been a long time since we met
- You fucked me up!
- Calm down!
- You understand?
Go back to catching the little fish.
I'll do the investigation on Berlusconi.
