Question?
Is Sabrina Ferilli's character a lesbian in this film? I saw a clip from the movie where she is getting really close to the main female lead.
shareNo, she doesn't play a lesbian.

I actually thought the same when I saw that clip, hahaha
Must love Ferilli
Yeah I know it can be confusing, especially if your in my position and don't really understand what they are saying. Can some one please translate the scene where Sabrina has her feet all over the other girl and is opening up her shirt and touching her face....cause I'm confused. Also what is with the baby stroller (was she pregnant...Cause she was drinking, at first I thought no but then mart touched her stomach and i was thinking hmmm maybe. I don't know I just kept hearing Claudio, Claudio throughout that whole part.
If someone could help me out that would be great! Around 2:05 is where the confusion begins

From 2:08
Daniela: This shirt looks so good on you! Will you let me do something? You should open this, look how pretty you are! You should flaunt it! Can I tell you something? What do you think about a small plastic surgery operation here?
Marta: I'll think about it!
Daniela: You remind me of myself when I was your age! I was just like you, wearing miserable clothes, sad... Do you know what I wanted to be? A nurse. If it wasn't for Claudio, do you know what I would be doing now? Cleaning old people's asses in a hospital! Instead look!
Marta: Well, it's late now, I really should be going because...
Daniela: But it's only 10! Wait! I'll drive you, what's the problem? Plus, I had something to say to you... I can't keep a secret! But please, don't tell anyone!
Marta: What, Daniela?
Daniela: That you're the number 1 this month! And if you keep working like this, you will win the Christmas trip. A trip to Miami: you, me and Claudio. We'll have dinner on a cruise ship with Multiple's top managers. I'll give you a dress, don't worry!
Marta: Thanks, but now I have to go because...
Daniela: Be careful! It's a secret, you don't know anything about me and Claudio... We've been together for two years. Do you see those pictures? He took them, they're great, eh? Am I photogenic?
Marta: Very!
Daniela: It's a delicate situation because he's divorcing his wife and he's afraid he may not get it consensually.
Marta: Sure.
Daniela: What a bitch his wife is! Such a bitch! Plus, now there's also this... mmm... don't look at me like that, come on! mmm... You're such a curious girl! [takes the stroller] I saw it every morning, one day I couldn't take it anymore and I bought it. My heart was beating so fast. It's nice, isn't it?
Marta: Is there a baby in the stroller? Are you pregnant?
Daniela: It's as small as a bean, it's here. It doesn't show yet but in a couple of weeks everyone will know.

Thank, you so much for taking the time to translate this! Finally I understand the situation and clearly see that Daniela is not a lesbian, maybe a little crazy...So she is Pregnant...and drinking...hmm
shareShe may or may have not been a lesbian/bi-sexual, but she was not pregnant. She was crazy. She made up a story about her being pregnant by her boss and I think she may have believed it. I thought she was definitely flirting in that scene.
shareThanks for the translation. My italian is really not so good also. I watched the film, yep! she's definitely crazy
shareThanks you very much Augusto....!!!
I have watch this films in italian, and I had some problems in some secenes, because they are all young people and speak so fast.
For me this scenne is not so clear.
Daniela do like a lesbian seduction scenne, but at the end she talk about the baby with Claudio and finaly nothing is clear.
Maybe Daniela is not lesbian, and the seduction is not for sex matter, is only to have an ally in the work.
Thanks again, and I have more questions....

PS: Well , you see.... my english is not so good neither.
I have 3 question more for shorts scennes where I understand the general meaning, but not the exaclty words.
1 - Marta is walking, and Daniela stop her car in front of her and say to Marta a short and dry warning. Do you have this sentence..??
2 - Marta and Daniela are talking in the bathroom. Marta say to Daniela something about Claudio has leave his wife some months ago. Do you have this scenne..??
3 - This is not importan. At the end before the car crash, the saleman fight against his works mates. He cry and scream something that I can´t understand in italian.
Thanks so much.

You're welcome; sorry for the late reply! Honestly I don't think Daniela is a lesbian; I think the party scene simply shows how lonely a woman she is and how desperate she is for some human contact (notice how all of her friends phone her to tell her they can't come to her party), as opposed to her smiling and radiant persona she pretends to be at work. Now I'm going to answer your questions:
1 - Marta is walking, and Daniela stop her car in front of her and say to Marta a short and dry warning. Do you have this sentence..??Sure: she says "If you don't intend to wear my clothes, will you give them back, please?"
2 - Marta and Daniela are talking in the bathroom. Marta say to Daniela something about Claudio has leave his wife some months ago. Do you have this scenne..??Yes, basically Daniela is jealous because she thinks Marta is using Claudio to succeed in her work and she's afraid she might somehow be diminished in his eyes: I'll give you an excerpt:
Daniela: [ironically] So, the innocent girl wants to succeed in her work in an easy way, doesn't she? But don't you delude yourself, because if you're not good at it, he will dump you nonetheless, even if you already slept with him.
Marta: What are you talking about?
Daniela: I trusted you and you would make my lose my job, in my state.
Marta: Please, Daniela...
Daniela: Come here, you coward! Where are you going? Tell me the truth!
Marta: What truth?
Daniela: Did you fu** with him or not?
Marta: NO!
Daniela: Don't you delude yourself, because as soon as he dumps that bit**, he'll come to me, and we will be happy together, in spite of you and the a**holes who hate us.
Marta: Claudio already dumped his wife and he's been living in a hotel for six months! I'm sorry.
Daniela: [laughs] Do you know why you're saying that? Because you're a go-getter cu**! [/angry] Go away! Get out of here!
3 - This is not importan. At the end before the car crash, the saleman fight against his works mates. He cry and scream something that I can´t understand in italian.He says: "Don't you come any closer! I'll call the police! Help! Shut up! Don't you realize he [Claudio] is teasing us all? I'm stupid because I sold the products to everyone! To my mother, my aunt in dialysis! My mother bought two of those and what did you give us? 1300 Euros with three months? My family spent 15000 Euros!" Then he breaks the products he sells because they're not supposed to work and it's just a way to gain easy money.

Dear Augusto:
Thanks you so much....!!
You have done a great job...!!
My born language is spanish.
I can understand a basic english, and I´m studing italian only by pleasure.
My italian is not so good, and in this movie with a lot a young people talking speed, I have some problems to understand everything.
Normaly I watch the italian movies with spanish subtitles, but in this case I has watched it directly in italian.
With this traslation, all is more clear.
I agree with you, that Daniela is not lesbian.
I don´t know if it was a director mistake, or it was on porpouse to obtein a more strange scenne.
But I thing Daniela is a bit crazy and need some friends to share her life.
Thanks so much again.....!!
