THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
HIT 6 MONTHS AFTER FILMING BEGAN

What are you doing here?

Anna!

Nobody goes out, is that clear?

Your parents are coming to get you.

Where's Mama?

Where's Mama?

Anna, where's Mama?

Where is she?

Let go of me.



Anna.

Where's your mom?

I don't know, she's not answering.

- I was told to wait here.
- You can't wait here.

You can't be left alone,
we'll call her now.

We'll call your mom.

Where's Mama?

Buying chocolate.

Is it an ambulance?

With a doctor?

Damiano.

You've got something on your shoulder.

It was that way.

Sure it was this way?



Anna, will you answer me?

- Anna, will you answer me?
- I think so.

At a certain point, Mama turns off.

At a certain point, she turns off.

Hello, it's me again.
Anna can't remember the way.

We've just turned into a street...

The third off the main road.

Call me as soon as you can.

- How long have you had it?
- It's eczema.

- How long?
- How the fuck would I know? A week.

- And you didn't say anything?
- It's eczema, what can I say?

You thoughtless asshole!

- What're you doing?
- Get out!

- And go where?
- Get out.

- What are you saying?
- You've got to go!

There are kids here, your son.

Your son is two,
or is that too hard to understand?

You're infected!

- Don't touch me!
- But where do I go?

Go to the hospital precinct,

they'll quarantine you,
treat you, I don't know!

- But that's where you're going.
- I'm not going into quarantine.

You can't stay here!

Help me, what should I do?

- I'm calling emergency.
- No!

Maria Grazia!

Fuck!

There's no signal anymore.

- Miss...
- I'm sorry but I don't remember.

Never mind, I'll go in
and see if there's a phone.

Miss, I don't remember.

- Stay here.
- Okay.

Excuse me.

Can I...

Can I ask you something? Excuse me.

Help.

Help.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Stay here, lock the doors.

During the night,
fires were set all over the city.

Neither the virus nor the corpses in the
streets can quell the urban warfare.

Children looted
department stores in town...

If we play a game, I'll give you this.

- Let's play the ghost game.
- Let me stick this on.

- My hand.
- Get out.

My hand.

Wait, let me stick it on.

- Just look at me.
- Wait...

Maybe she slipped over.

Let's play the ghost game.

Nice.

Careful.

I've hurt myself here.

Look.

It hurts.

Look.

Yeah, we'll check it later.

- Who's there?
- I got this.

- It's all garbage.
- No, wait.

Give me that.

Take this twice a day, morning and night.

- Now, get lost.
- Fuck you and your brother!

Wait, twins!

I got a bunch of stuff that's worth a lot!

I need it!

Who was that?

I paused it, you're missing the best bit.

A guy with Red Fever, he was sick.

I gave him a hair supplement
and I got this.

- What are you doing?
- Let us in!

Come on.

What?

Come on!

- What's this crap?
- At Aunt Marina's wedding.

Papa danced with Aunty.

There was a three-tier cake
with meringues.

Shit, that's right!

Mario, wake up.

What is it?

I think I got the Red Fever.

What do you reckon?

Check me, all over.

- We'll burn down your store!
- Assholes!

Twins, are you there?

Open up, we got stuff to swap.

We got heaps of batteries,
even a car battery.

We're closed! Go away!

- Open up, don't be such assholes!
- Go away!

I told you, Paolo, I'll get it, too.

It'll just take a little longer.

I think it's because
I came out of Mama after you.

Know what we'll do?

We'll close the store and eat everything.

I'm not leaving it full of stuff,
Papa asked us not to.

What do you say?

Come on, Paolo, don't be like that.

We'll even eat the Easter eggs.

- The milk chocolate ones?
- Yeah.

What are you doing there?

I threw up.

Don't throw up in the drawers.

Maybe that pancetta was bad.

Did you eat anything else?

The black things with the stones inside.

What are they?

Those round black things in water.

- Toads?
- No, in jars.

Olives.

- Where did you find them?
- In the Outside, but I didn't go.

How did you get them?

With a stick.

You mustn't do that again, promise me.

Promise me.

Not "promise me," I promise.

I promise.

Tomorrow, I'll search for something good.

Okay, I'll be back early.

- What do you have to do?
- I must never go past the rags.

Or else?

- I'll suffocate to death.
- Good boy.

You'll suffocate to death.

Come here.

Mario, buddy, I feel so sick.

Tell me about it,
Papa's special provolone has killed me.

Mario, I've been thinking a lot
about this Red Fever thing,

and the fact that only I got infected.

You've always been the nice one,
and I'm the mean one.

I got infected for us both, you're safe.

Thank you, Paolo.

You gotta promise me something.

When I die, you gotta make ice cream.

Chocolate ice cream.

How can you make it without a fridge?

There's another cold place: The cellar.

We have long-life milk,

chocolate, too, and sugar.

We even have cones, they're in the boxes.

All we need is a cellar.

We'll dig a deep hole in the storeroom.

It's like a basement.

What could you swap an ice cream for?

Anything.

Promise you'll dig.

I'll dig.

Pietro!

Pietro!

Hey.

Hi.

I was looking... I wanted to see the lake.

- You didn't come for me.
- Yes... no.

A little bit.

What are they?

They're my tomatoes. Want one?

Mm!

- Good, huh?
- Really good.

I haven't eaten one in years.

My mother had a vegetable garden, too,
she was obsessed.

Then the Red Fever came and it all died.

"The heterodontosaurus had"

"two kinds of teeth:

"The small ones at the front

"were for tearing off leaves,

"the flatter ones at the back"

"were for chewing."

"And now, a question for you:."

"How many different kinds of teeth
do you have?"

I have normal teeth

and the ones that hurt.

"My Family and Other Animals."

- I like the title.
- Take it if you want.

Do you want to go for a swim?

No, I have to go home.

- Admit you can't swim.
- I swim better than you.

- But I don't have a swimsuit.
- Ah.

There are women's swimsuits
in that cupboard.

Pick one out.

What a pain!

- What are you looking at?
- How the swimsuit fits.

It fits just fine.

Aren't you coming?

Let's go! Move it!

Now I'm going to
show you something.

I'll give you a shower.

And... fire!

There's smoke, look.

I have front teeth!

I am the electrodontosaurus!

That puppet's so cool.

Look at this, it's fantastic!

- Just imagine there's pasta.
- Fair enough, there's meatloaf too.

Look at this!

Want me to check you for blotches?

Well?

No, I don't think so.

And you?

No, I haven't started bleeding yet.

I remembered.

- What?
- When I kissed you.

- ...You were in class 3 - B, right?
- No.

- What?
- I didn't go to your school.

So, who did I kiss?

- Maybe you kissed too many people.
- Idiot.

I don't remember much about the Before.

Me neither,

just certain things.

Sometimes I don't know
if they're memories or if I make them up.

- Let go of it, it's mine!
- It's mine!

I found it first!

Look at me.

Come here.

It's all rubbish.

- Are you all dead?
- Not yet.

Are you ghosts?

Come here.

Do I look like a ghost?

"Physiotherapy."

"Di Tullio."

Rosario, come and see
what they did with the bones.

- Who taught you to read?
- Anna.

Well done, Anna.

This is for Angelica.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go, and put some shoes on.

What do I need this for?

That's my mother!

Move!

There's only a little left.

- But won't it hurt me?
- No.

- Do you remember television?
- Yes, sure.

Well, this is much better.

I can't feel anything.

It takes a while.

So, we were at the beach,

before the Red Fever,
you were with some girlfriends,

you came up, kissed me and ran off.

No! Was that you?

But it was a dare, it wasn't a kiss.

It's not funny.

Careful of the wire.

One at a time.

Move.

I can't, there's the rags.

Move!

Come on!

Now I'll show you.

Get him!

Come on, get him!

- Run!
- Where?

Get him!

- I lost him.
- Where is he?

I don't know!

Where did he go?

- He's over there!
- Get him!

Shall we try it?

Here.

- What's that face for? It's yummy.
- Yummy.

Don't throw it! Stop it!

Shall I throw it?

No. No, no, no.

- Shall I throw it?
- No.

- Shall I throw it?
- No.

Speak...

There he is!

It's too high, help him.

Get down, get down!

What are you doing?

You don't want to come with us?

Get down!

Get down. Get down.

You'll hurt yourself.

Come to the party with us.

There's a party, there's chocolate!

- I said you'll hurt yourself.
- Come down.

Mario, buddy, I'm exhausted.

Let's swap.

We've just swapped.

We spend more time
swapping melons than walking.

Yeah, but I always end up
carrying the heavy one.

It's not fair.

Paolo, wake up!

You need to eat something.

We still have chips.

Or you'd prefer something cool, a Bounty?

I'm not hungry anymore.

This is the worst thing
about this disease,

not being hungry.

Dying, too.

I'm gonna go dig.

Blue...

Astor!

Astor!

Anna.

Anna.

Mama.

What's the matter?

Did you have fun today?

I feel sick.

And your brother?
You're not going to look for him?

Pietro!

Pietro!

Anna, why did you leave?

- What happened to your hand?
- Take me to the Blue Kids.

- Why?
- Because they took my brother.

- You have a brother?
- Yes.

It's your fault they took him.

- What have I got to do with it?
- Plenty.

If you hadn't given me that shit
that got me stoned, I'd have been home.

Where are the Blue Kids?

In Bagheria, but I don't know where.

Take me there.

If your brother's with them,
you won't get him back.

I'll get him back all right,
he's my brother.

- Take me there.
- No.

Go to the twins, they have maps.

I knew you were a dickhead, and a wimp.

Open up!

Twins, are you there?

Hey!

Open up, I got stuff to swap.

Open up!

We're closed, no more swapping.

Open up, please. I need a map.

I'm Anna Salemi, class 3C.

Remember? Open up.

Salemi Anna, 3C...

Yeah, it's me, open up.

There's no more swapping.

Open up, please.

Which one of the two are you?

Paolo.

- Where's your brother?
- We're not doing swaps anymore.

I need a map of Sicily.

All new.

Know how many batteries a map costs?

I'll bring more.

- Have you got the Red Fever?
- No.

Put your backpack on the floor.

Take your jacket off.

Lift your T-shirt, show me.

Happy?

Where do you need to go?

- To Bagheria, to the Blue Kids.
- The Blue Kids?

They tried to get into my store,
I caught one.

- He doesn't speak.
- Where is he?

I keep him down in the storeroom.

Wanna see him?

I swear on Mario's head.

All right.

Wait.

Come.

Come, it's this way.

Come.

Open it.

What...

What have you done to me?

What have you done to me?

A little mouse in the glue.
