0:00:01.060,0:00:06.044
Seeing, looking - they are nothing unless you enter people's heart.

0:00:06.044,0:00:09.088
The eyes are the entrance to the heart.

0:00:09.088,0:00:14.027
Because that's where truth, obscured by image, comes from.

0:00:14.027,0:00:17.007
I saw very well, once, you know.

0:00:17.007,0:00:22.007
Then, because of a very banal blow on the head, I was able to

0:00:22.007,0:00:26.028
become totally blind and to enter a new world,

0:00:26.028,0:00:32.084
the world of exaltaion, emotions, sounds, smells...

0:00:32.084,0:00:36.067
But also of my being within a body I do not see any longer.

0:00:36.067,0:00:41.092
And often, I'm not even quite sure where it is.

0:00:41.092,0:00:46.032
Artù, let's shut the last one and we'll be done.

0:00:46.032,0:00:48.020
So...

0:00:48.020,0:00:51.075
First the inside flaps...

0:00:51.075,0:00:58.064
Scotch tape is here.

0:00:58.064,0:01:02.075
Artù, you bet I make it at the first go?

0:01:02.075,0:01:04.092
No.

0:01:04.092,0:01:14.031
She sings: Coming Round Again

0:01:14.031,0:01:27.043
Song: Coming Round Again

0:01:27.043,0:01:42.015
Clapping

0:01:42.015,0:01:44.079
(voice synthesis) I miss you a lot too.

0:01:44.079,0:01:50.007
This morning I went to the beach, it seemed I was smelling your perfume.

0:01:50.007,0:01:56.007
I turned round abruptly, and for an instant I had the illusion that ou were here.

0:01:56.007,0:01:59.040
(voice synthesis) I was on the other side of the world, Lauda.

0:01:59.040,0:02:03.020
(voice synthesis) It's difficult for me too, I feel I can't manage

0:02:03.020,0:02:06.043
to give you what you need.

0:02:06.043,0:02:09.024
I want to hear the sound of your voice.

0:02:09.024,0:02:11.068
Can we hear each other by phone?

0:02:11.068,0:02:14.000
She's not here yet. You know what?

0:02:14.000,0:02:17.068
I'll finish the audio book I started three days ago.

0:02:17.068,0:02:21.047
Rather than an audio book, it's one of the old radio dramas made by RAI

0:02:21.047,0:02:24.096
before it became the slave of the government.

0:02:24.096,0:02:28.063
Did I tell you that, Artù? It's called "The Glass Menagerie".

0:02:28.063,0:02:32.012
Written by Tennessee Williams, an American playwright.

0:02:32.012,0:02:34.080
The main character limps, and instead of going

0:02:34.080,0:02:37.091
to the typing lessons her mother registered her for,

0:02:37.091,0:02:41.012
she spends all her time in the park or at the movies.

0:02:41.012,0:02:44.015
Happy she. Her name is Laura, eh?

0:02:44.015,0:02:46.043
Do you understand what nice couple we are, I and this Laura?

0:02:46.043,0:02:48.036
She limps, and I'm blind.

0:02:48.036,0:02:53.008
"Glass menagerie", because of the glass knickknacks she keeps on her coffee table.

0:02:53.008,0:02:56.056
Another coincidence. I hadn't noticed it!

0:02:56.056,0:03:01.028
Artù, let's go and listen how this story ends. Let's go.

0:03:01.028,0:03:05.052
You teach him to say "Sorry, please, thank you."

0:03:05.052,0:03:07.036
Behave, Artù.

0:03:07.036,0:03:11.056
Is it your car? Don't you know parking on the pedestrian crossing is forbidden?

0:03:15.059,0:03:19.052
You went to the tobacconist's for a minute? And thus you are justified?

0:03:19.052,0:03:21.036
You mustn't park on the pedestrian crossing.

0:03:21.036,0:03:23.071
The dog is trained to guide me to the pedestrian crossing.

0:03:23.071,0:03:26.056
If you cover them with your car, tell me what it can see?

0:03:26.056,0:03:30.040
And what should I do? Stay here for the whole day because you must go to the tobacconist's for a minute?

0:03:30.040,0:03:34.003
And what if a wheelchair must get by? How can the person manage?

0:03:34.003,0:03:36.031
I am exaggerating?

0:03:36.031,0:03:43.000
It's nothing?

0:03:43.000,0:03:46.008
Putting the helmet on ten minutes before the accident

0:03:46.008,0:03:49.003
that changes your life... Food for thought.

0:03:49.003,0:03:54.003
I put it on exactly ten minutes before I flew off.

0:03:54.003,0:03:57.047
I'd just taken it out of the box.

0:03:57.047,0:04:08.043
I was shutting and... LOUD NOISES

0:04:08.043,0:04:21.004
LOUD RHYTHMICAL MUSIC

0:04:21.004,0:04:23.051
I can no longer go out when I want to.

0:04:23.051,0:04:28.007
I can no longer decide: "I'm fed up, I'm leaving."

0:04:28.007,0:04:31.019
I can no longer read with my eyes

0:04:31.019,0:04:36.043
a good novel, but neither an ad for a washing-up liquid.

0:04:36.043,0:04:42.024
And no text-to-speech will read me the things I wrote by hand.

0:04:42.024,0:04:46.072
I won't be able to see Rome anymore... And here I should stop.

0:04:46.072,0:04:49.083
What else do you want to say? Rome....

0:04:49.083,0:04:53.027
I never missed an exhibition.

0:04:53.027,0:04:56.087
Escher, Dalì, Artemisia Gentileschi.

0:04:56.087,0:05:01.048
Caravaggio... And who can forget those bodies.

0:05:01.048,0:05:05.063
Those lines, those colors...

0:05:05.063,0:05:08.036
Those emotions.

0:05:08.036,0:05:15.007
I'd enter a church, or a museum, and I lost myself in all this beauty.

0:05:15.007,0:05:27.007
I lost myself.

0:05:27.007,0:05:30.039
(With a Roman accent:) Are we making a comedy? Are you joking?

0:05:30.039,0:05:34.063
Artù, let's make a comedy! And how should I call it?

0:05:34.063,0:05:37.031
Why can't I call it a comedy?

0:05:37.031,0:05:40.031
Theater show or drama?

0:05:40.031,0:05:44.068
We might as well call it a tragedy.

0:05:44.068,0:05:47.036
Crisis - equals - danger.

0:05:47.036,0:05:50.012
Crisis - equals - opportunity.

0:05:50.012,0:05:58.016
Crisis - equals - danger. Crisis - equals - opportunity.

0:05:58.016,0:06:05.080
LOUD RHYTHMICAL MUSIC

0:06:05.080,0:06:09.043
Are you calling me about the insurance?

0:06:09.043,0:06:13.083
No, I don't intend to meet you, I don't live in Rome anymore.

0:06:13.083,0:06:18.056
How dare you call me? After such a long time!

0:06:18.056,0:06:21.075
I thought a lot about you too, you know?

0:06:21.075,0:06:25.024
I thought about you and your white Mercedes.

0:06:25.024,0:06:30.043
Every day, for all these years, your white Mercedes greets me.

0:06:30.043,0:06:34.016
Every morning, you know?

0:06:34.016,0:06:39.083
But what are you doing? You're crying? I haven't cried for a long time.

0:06:39.083,0:06:46.083
And in an instant life... Your life, mine....

0:06:46.083,0:06:49.012
can change.

0:06:49.012,0:06:54.083
Forever.

0:06:54.083,0:06:58.024
But without life

0:06:58.024,0:07:01.031
which gave me so much

0:07:01.031,0:07:13.012
Song: Gracias a la vida

0:07:13.012,0:07:32.039
Clapping

0:07:32.039,0:08:14.092
Clapping

0:08:26.060,0:08:29.016
Good night, everybody, and thanks for being here.

0:08:29.016,0:08:31.051
I hope you enjoyed the show.

0:08:31.051,0:08:35.008
I'd like to thank Elena, who was excellent.
