Overview

Michael is the younger son of a middle-class family, a strong-willed and free-thinking fellow, who is off in some distant country fighting for a revolutionary cause. Everyone in the family writes to him, describing the events of their lives, as they drift into a kind of conventionality which would perhaps have horrified them earlier. Only Michael’s girlfriend Mara, the mother of his child, retains her independence, even though it is through the help of Michael’s increasingly conventional friends and family that she survives.

00:00:33 DEAR MICHELE

00:05:46 What about Michele? - I think he told him to come too.

00:10:05 You could've called me to a public phone in town to warn me.

00:13:03 What fork? - The one to shake the powdered milk.

00:17:03 No way! You're 25.

00:21:47 Enjoy your meal!

00:26:36 My daughter... - Go over there.

00:30:13 He won't come back. He'll end up in America or who knows where.

00:34:02 But it's useless. Some houses stink and this one does.

00:38:02 Guilt.

00:42:57 ''Polenta and Poison''. I intend to have it published.

00:48:04 No, wait! I must prepare the milk. If you get up, you'll make noise!

00:52:29 Even if Michele were gay, or bisexual, that's his business!

00:56:56 It's your dad's fault. He took him from me when he was little.

01:00:51 Just like my uncle was, and even my father.

01:04:31 He's teething, poor thing.

01:11:37 Instead she told us, and all the other relatives as well.

01:15:11 I only know that... - Come on!

01:19:28 In my opinion, no-one should pay.

01:24:24 What should I say then? I'm all alone.

01:29:04 transcribe them for me and send them by mail.

01:33:56 What are you watching? Why are you standing there like an idiot? Get moving!

01:38:45 Mr Osvaldo is out of town. I don't know when he'll be back.

07:02:03 - Yes.
