WHAT TO DO WHEN MAMA DIES

Astor!

Wake up.

Who are you?

It's Mama.

You're my mama?

- How are you, Astor?
- Good, Mama.

This is 'Ndraveche.



And Anna? Where's your sister?

I don't know.

They cut off her arm.

Don't you think about Anna?

No, I don't think about her.

How come?

I've forgotten everything.

You know what mothers are for?

To remind us
of the important things in our hearts.

Go home, go to your sister.

Mama, can I cut your strings?

So you can come with me.

No, or I'll fall down.

'Ndraveche, wake up.



- What is it?
- I have to go, bye.

Merry Christmas.

You can wake up, now, princess,
I kissed you.

Stop it.

Astor, listen to me.

You and I have to leave,

we have to go away.

When I was on the volcano.

I saw the mainland.

I woke up and I saw it.

Italy is close.

Where?

Beyond the sea.

Let's go, so we can see what's there.

Why?

Because I'm growing up

and we'll see if there are
Grown-ups with medicine.

But the Grown-ups are all dead.

The Little Lady was alive, though,

there might be others like her.

'Ndraveche told me
if you take a bath with a chicken

and you hold it underwater for a minute,
you'll live forever.

Unfortunately, it's not true.

Do you want to go?

Let's go.

Can I put her in too?

Why?

So they can be together.

Sure.

Stop chewing your hair.

I'm hungry.

Sleep, that way you won't be hungry.

- Why don't we go home?
- Don't start.

Was Mama blonde?

No, you've seen the photos.

Was she beautiful?

Yes.

Yes, very, all the men chased after her.

Like dogs.

Yes.

Was Papa a dog?

Yeah, a little bit.

Anna.

Do you have the Red Fever?

No.

- You're not going to die?
- No.

Astor.

Astor.

- Come down!
- No.

Come down!

Little brat.

OMG, these are amazing!

Anna, look.

Chocolate!

Keep looking.

What do you want?

Anna, run!

Move it, I'm always waiting for you.

Don't make me mad.

Enough, I'm tired.

I want to stay here, it's nice here.

Anyway, where are we going?

To Italy, I told you a hundred times.

I don't care about Italy!

- Let's go.
- No.

- Don't piss me off.
- You go, I'm staying here.

All right.

Bye, Astor.

Astor!

Come and see, run!

Italy!

Look how big it is!

And what a long nose!

"Me-ro-tti-na".

Here, this is a good one.

No, it's not right.

Here, this is perfect!

You use your feet like on a bicycle.

- It's a boat, not a bicycle.
- No, it's a paddle boat.

We've got to get it in the water.

You're really strong.

One, two, three!

Pull!

Pull!

Let's sleep now,
we'll keep going tomorrow.

Turn the light off.

The plague which in these times

smites us all...

...and for which there appears
to be no cure yet...

Stop it! What's wrong?

You want this?

Harm suffered
for harm that has been inflicted.

There's a sweet rigor for Augustine...

Are you hungry?

I'm sick of you!

Don't close the door.

It's dangerous to stay with them.

Humanity...

We have to be careful.

Don't drag him.

Let him go,
let him go and play.

Anna. Anna. Anna.

- He's always crying.
- I know.

Promise me you'll look after him,

he's little and you have to be patient.

He's your son, not mine!

He's your brother,
you have to protect him.

Promise me.

I promise.

- Again.
- I promise.

- Louder.
- I promise.

- Swear you will.
- I swear.

You won't do it,
you're selfish like your father.

Yes, I will. I swear, Mama.

I've written everything
in this notebook, got it?

Look after it

and teach Astor to read.

Don't forget.

Anna, it's morning.

Not too much, we need it.

One, two...

Mama.

Mama. Mama. Mama.

Say goodbye to Sicily.

Bye, Sicily.

- Ready?
- Ready.

"Things to do when Mama dies."

"When I die I'll be too heavy
for you to carry me out.

Anna, open the windows,
take everything you need

and lock the door.

If it stinks too much in the house,
sleep in the car.

You have to wait 100 days.

On the sheet next to this
I've drawn 100 lines.

Cross one out every morning.

"The days may seem a lot,
but time passes quickly."

Pedal, I can't do it by myself.

Enough, I'm tired.

- Come on, pedal.
- I don't want to.

If you don't pedal we'll die.

- Can't you see we're moving away?
- Let's go back.

Pedal, or we'll be stuck out at sea!

Shall we sing a song?

Hmm?

Come on.

Come on, sing.

"Only when all the lines
are crossed out,

can you open the door to my room.

Go into the house
only to get what you need

"and don't waste food."

Anna.

Anna.

Open the door!

Open the door, please, I don't feel good,

I'm thirsty.

Little Anna, come.

Help me, darling, I'm suffering so much.

Here I am, Mama, I'm behind here,

I'll come in, look,
and if you're dead, I'll go straight out.

You want a puppy?

If you do, you have
to come here and poop.

You push...

And you poop, got it?

Poop.

Do it, go on.

Do what I'm doing, come.

Look at the rain.

Wow!

See it?

The cushion.

No, don't draw on the cushion.

- Here?
- Yeah.

- Did you hurt yourself?
- Yes.

Show me your hands.

Look up there.

Go away, filthy birds!

Go away.

Go away, filthy birds!

Go away...

Pietro.

Anna...

Anna...

Anna...

The book.

It fell in the water, it's my fault.

I'm sorry.

We'll write another one.

93, 94,

95, 96, 97,

98, 99, 100!

"When 100 days have passed,
come back into my room.

Don't look at my face.

Tie me to a rope,
it's in the third drawer in the desk,

and drag me outside.

It will be easy because
I won't weigh much.

Take me into the woods,
to a place you like

and cover me with stones.

Clean my room with bleach,

"then you can live inside again."

Shoo! Go away!

Anna...

What are you doing?

The hair.

Astor. Astor.

Anna.

Water.

Press the switch.

The light.

There's electricity!

Artichokes in oil!

Chocolate hazelnut spread!

Mmm...

Mmm...

- How is it?
- Delicious.

"What distinguishes human beings
from all other animals"

is the ability to imagine
and tell stories,

because it's only through stories
that nothing ever really dies.

Unbelievable things can happen,

the chaos of the world
can find a meaning.

And what seemed the end of everything,

"may turn out to be
an extraordinary, new beginning."
