:45:03
And yet, she herself
is still in silent agony
:45:07
mourning over
that unmarked war grave,
:45:10
in far away East Africa.
:45:13
In the beating heart of
our argument
:45:17
is an audacious,
but nonetheless valid, thesis
:45:19
which asks just one question:
:45:24
Can a young woman,
:45:26
after the odyssey of a widowhood
endured for the love of country,
:45:30
hope for protection
in the shelter of a new life?
:45:35
Does she have the right
to yearn for, and to write,
:45:39
a new ending to her own love story?
:45:43
Your Honor,
:45:44
the citizens of Castelcuto reply:
:45:47
´´Yes!´´
:45:58
Will Cusimano leave me alone now?
:46:00
Of course,
:46:02
he´s been put into
a psychiatric clinic,
:46:05
he wants to volunteer for
the Forces in East Africa.
:46:08
He doesn´t realize
we lost Africa ages ago!
:46:13
But let´s forget Cusimano
:46:14
and the fickle Lieutenant Cadei,
:46:17
let´s get to us!
:46:22
I know it´s not much....
:46:25
But it´s all I have.
They´ve cut my pension.
:46:28
Don´t you understand?
:46:31
That´s peanuts!
:46:33
My fee is much more than that.
:46:36
You´ll never have enough money!
:46:40
But how will I ever repay you?
:46:43
lt´s very easy, my sweet.
:46:45
-What are you saying?
-Be with me, my love!
:46:52
l´m in love with you!
:46:56
You shouldn´t be alone
during these hard times.
