With or Without You (Una relazione)

Are you happy?

In general or...?

I mean now.

What?

Did you say something?

I guess I was talking in my sleep.

- What time is it? - 5.10 am

Why don't you go back to sleep?

There's no point.

Remember that Labor Day at Villa Pamphilj?

Not really.

THE TWO OF US

- Completely still for an hour? Shit! - You're allowed to breathe!

You try to connect with the universe,

with something bigger than you.

The possibilities are endless.

With your eyes closed, in a room... endless possibilities?

Your sight is better with closed eyes.

Lu, the endless possibilities...

are in the world, not in your head.

I'm sorry.

Let's talk about it when the permafrost melts.

I've never printed a receipt from an ATM in my life.

You're not the only eco-nut here.

That's why your relationships never last more than two months?

Too many possibilities?

You have to find the right one, so...

you have to make a selection, you have to choose.

As Mr. Permafrost says,

Homo sapiens is about to die out,

I don't even see...

any harm in it, right?

So you're a sexist!

Yes, yes.

I'm a man, why should I cheer for the other team?

Where's the wine I brought? What is this crap without sulfites?

I demand pesticides in my wine.

Pumpkin soup.

What with intolerances, allergies,

reflux, I didn't know what to make.

- You've still got this reflux? - I hope you like it.

You know they use this in porn instead of sperm, to do facials?

- Yeah? - Yes!

And you know that how?

How can you get to know a woman in two months?

Two months is plenty!

People don't improve with age,

just like this lousy wine

that someone dared to bring.

What about these two? 15 years together.

What about them?

They belong to a bygone era, like bull fighting.

Oh those poor animals, don't even talk about it!

It freaks me out.

We've got something to say.

See honey? I knew it.

- Here we go! - I'm about to cry.

Yes, well...

we've thought about this a lot...

we've finally made up our minds.

Well, we've decided to split up.

What?

That's a huge Freudian slip you just made.

You'll have to apologize for the rest of your life.

You just said you've decided to split up.

It's true.

You really meant "split up"?

- Yes. - Just like that?

We still care for each other.

What the fuck is going on?

We want to stay friends

nothing will change for us all.

How is that even possible?

- It's a gradual separation. - Yeah.

A natural thing.

What the fuck is that, a separation with no added sulfites?

You know what they say

"Even if we break up, I'll always be therefor you"?

Well...

nobody ever is,in reality.

We'd like to try.

And the house?

It took us decades to find this fucking house,

we took out a huge... you took out a huge mortgage.

That lovely man, the bank manager,

even told you that a joint mortgage

is more important than marriage. What was his name, Massimo, Augusto?

Whatever,some Roman emperor!

He was right!

We'll get two houses, we'll sell this one.

Actually...

- we hoped you'd deal with that. - Me?

- Yes, thanks. - No way!

What now?

Let's eat!

- No? - Let's eat!

It was his idea, right?

Both of ours.

Those farmers we buy from are out of control!

- Take some veg please. - He's having an affair.

For sure.

Some slutty barmaid from those shitholes where they play.

They're all the same. Can you believe it?

It's all love until they see boobs through a beer glass

and they lose their fucking minds.

It wasn't working anymore, what should we do?

Keep on staying together? Out of fear?

I don't get it. You still have sex?

Yeah!

- But that's not the point. - What's the point?

I'm sick of banging my head against a wall.

Wait a minute... This was your idea?

I couldn't stand seeing him unhappy anymore.

Fucking leeks, I get it, they're in season,

but a ton of leeks, c'mon...

Alice, you can't stay friends.

When it's over it's over.

You should know that. Remember Mathieu?

You dumped him in a flash saying

"It's this way, or no way," and then what?

I dreamt about him for a year.

I've been thinking Ali.

It's a good thing.

Think how long it'll take you to forget Tommy.

- Want some cabbage? - No!

It's organic.

Tommy, I'm sorry but I have to say

It's a bad idea.

I can even say it in reverse

"aedi dab a s'ti"

Come on!

What's this "natural" separation thing?

If it means that when he "naturally" wants to get laid

he can, without guilt, I'm in.

I'll go organic too and give up the pesticides!

Tommy, hey!

You're seeing someone else?

I give up. I don't get it.

We decided to break up, but I won't just vanish.

We grew up together, it's normal to care for each other.

We're just not a couple anymore.

Cake!

The cake!

Maybe we should start doing things on our own, right?

Like shopping, laundry...

And if friends come over, or relatives...

we let each other know, right?

Yeah.

And before seeing someone else let's wait till we're not living together.

- Right? - Yeah.

Thanks.

Wow, fireworks!

We're in Rome. There are fireworks every day.

Come on, let's go watch them!

I'm tired.

I'm tired too.

Good night.

- Want the blanket? - No thanks.

DAY 1

45 DAYS TO THE SALE OF THE HOUSE

It's quite irritating, like a twitch

like when your eyelid trembles

out of tiredness, but... there.

Hold it, I have to do...

a complete swab and a pap test.

- How old are you? - 37. Nearly.

- And you're afraid of a cotton bud? - No!

Right,

everything seems fine.

But we'll wait for the test results to be sure.

Itchiness? Irritation?

Burning?

I've been there and I left them behind.

Try 'Vagigel Fast', with hyaluronic acid.

Simply a good sensation,

'Vagigel Fast'!

OK, Alice, tell us about yourself.

OK, I'm Alice and I'm an actress.

And what else...

I'm breaking up after 15 years,

but without arguing.

We're really good friends!

Yes, OK, show me your right profile,

please...

Yes...

Love, how are you?

It's Mom.

I've been trying to call you for three days. Are you OK?

I have my tango class now

If you call it might be turned off.

OK, but try anyway.

Big kiss.

Mom, sorry, I'm a bit busy.

I'll call you soon, OK?

Anyway, I'm fine.

APARTMENTFOR SALE

Everything's fine.

Hello there!

Can you manage on your own?

The truth?
