Double Soul (2023)

[bunniefuu]

ROM, 2002

They say,

revenge is followed by remorse.

But that is a fairy tale.

In fairy tales, there is only one princess.

But we...

There were always two of us.

DUBAI, PRESENDOUBLE GAME

Tea.

Not a good idea to go to this guy.

Cost us a lot of money,

you know.

He can't take a joke.

Do you know what that means, Amir?

The man without wealth

is the image of death.

What do you get out of your money if

you don't spend it when you need to?

I have been waiting twenty years for

for this information.

Do you think I'm starting to

to be stingy?

No, but...

Then don't talk bullshit!

I just think it's difficult

and we will attract a lot of attention

on us.

And please, tell me, how can

you trust a man like that?

I don't care where it happened, the blood

is shed where it was shed.

This should be the complete list.

Let me see.

Excuse me, please.

A call for you.

Didn't I say "no interference"?

It is urgent.

Yes.

I think we've discussed everything

discussed for today.

Put another name on the guest list.

For dinner?

Yes, Lucrezia Bonomi. She prefers Luna.

Please put her next to me.

Should I know anything in particular

about this special guest?

The company's way of working is old-fashioned.

Time to join forces with companies

that will soon become really important.

Thank you, Anna. Delightful as always.

And if you want to buy her artwork,

you can do that here at the bar

and on Instagram.

Come on, you cheapskates.

And take off your masks, because,

you know the advantage of liars:

If they tell the truth,

nobody believes them.

We are here to celebrate

celebrate Cintech S.p.A.

In the last six months, our

sales have grown very strongly.

We need to look further into the future.

Let's continue to think long-term,

we will become a global powerhouse.

Salute.

- Salute.

- Salute.

The stock market is a system in which money moves from the

the impatient to the patient.

Warren Buffet.

Good.

Intellect and a touch of research.

I have to thank the person

who placed you next to me.

There are many women at this table.

You have done very well.

Is there something to say?

ask a man,

there is something to do, rather a woman.

Are you a fan of British politics?

Anna, we need to talk.

Anna, this is no good.

We are through.

Tonight was the last night.

I hear you want to

a career in high finance.

Tell me, why?

Why this thirst for power?

I was still a child back then, someone

with power destroyed my family.

My sister and

are the only ones left.

I want to have power over others,

like someone had over me.

Good.

Resentment can make people

quite determined.

I have been looking for someone

like you, someone young,

who can work under Sofia's

can work under Sofia's wing.

What about you?

Never ask me "how"

or what my specific

role in the company is.

Titles rob you of power.

That's not the point.

What are you prepared to do

to change your life?

Everything you want from me

want from me.

I have been

hoping to meet you.

Hope, my dear, has blue eyes.

How is

your roommate?

I don't know.

We don't understand each other.

How did it go yesterday?

I'm fired.

Listen, I've got someone on the hook.

Could be a great opportunity.

I've been invited to a vernissage,

you can come too.

This guy is really something.

I told him about you and he said

he said he would invite Michael Tedeschi.

Just for you.

For me?

Pops did that too.

I'll text you then. Hm?

Welcome.

Please.

I assume we don't have to be

be formal with each other?

One of our top managers will be joining

join us. They are quiet and watching.

Just like at the dentist, but instead of

a tooth, you lose your innocence.

I know who sent you.

So let's save the niceties.

The wind blows rough here, which is why

why we all wear fur coats here.

Perfect. Peter, this is Luna, she

with you on the Sealux transaction.

The job is her first,

but she comes highly recommended.

Luna, this is Peter Orlandi.

He has been taking care of

our most important transactions.

How was London?

Wet, as always.

And not in the erotic sense.

It's quite simple, I've been

the deal for months.

Keep your mouth shut, listen,

and don't get in my way.

The village chief is not happy about

the gifts. He says this is their land.

He is not enthusiastic.

He is against it.

He does not want to sell this land.

He's not happy?

Give him a cuddly toy.

My toy! My toy!

My toy!

A place like this one,

with conditions that are so extreme

that life here is almost impossible...

Well, why do I say "almost"? One word.

Extremophile.

Listen to how musical that sounds.

Extremophile.

Microorganisms, able to survive,

where life is actually impossible.

But they make it,

even in an extreme place like this.

Just think, this strength,

this resilience.

Are you an extremophile?

I don't think so.

So, extremophile or

non-extremophile.

Signature

or no signature.

Dead or alive.

Do you see? I am not

the only extremophile.

Well done.

Is your sister still not here?

It's an emotional time for her.

She'll be here soon.

I'm betting on you, do you know that?

And why?

The reason is that you have talent.

You can't buy that.

You don't learn that at university.

It's not in the head.

It's in the stomach.

The head washes clothes,

parks cars, cooks.

The belly that lives.

So why isn't your sister here?

My old friend.

I am so glad that you

made it.

I'm glad about that too. Thank you for

your invitation.

They are wonderful works,

quite remarkable.

At our age, pleasure or taste are

tastes are nothing more than whims

and most ideas today

are nothing more than laziness.

Speaking of laziness, what are we doing?

Didn't you want to introduce me to someone?

I'll be right back. Please.

Anna, come on,

pull yourself together!

What do you think of this exhibition?

All artists are basically

basically lazy.

I mean, did they make it?

they play it safe.

But without courage, there is no art.

Art should awaken doubt in us.

That's all she has to do.

Give the audience something else

than what they might want,

and definitely not what

what it expects.

And if you're too cowardly for that,

don't bother with art.

Ah, someone must be in a

in a better mood today.

You won't believe that now.

I was at a party with Luna.

And I met an

art critic.

We talked...

I can hardly believe it.

Michael Tedeschi.

Do you know him?

Sure, who wouldn't?

And?

He is a pleasure hunter,

but nevertheless a very important critic.

He could really help you. This is

your chance to make it big.

I don't know.

Come on, you really have everything,

to be a star,

You just have to show the real you.

Still have to text Luna.

Cintech deals with large

international investments.

Leave the talking to me,

maybe you'll learn something.

However,

this is not for beginners.

What is it?

Get in the car.

What, now? We're just arriving.

Come on, get in now.

What's going on here?

FOR MY SON OF THE DESERAnd?

Sit down, my friend.

I don't want to sit down, I'm about to

a great deal, what's going on?

You know,

Here they buried an

Etruscan actor, right here.

His epitaph

reads: "I have died many times,

But never like this."

Well, they take everything so lightly here,

even the bad things.

Would you like a coffee?

I don't want any f*cking coffee.

I was about to make the biggest deal

and some brat is now snatching it.

Damn, what's going on here?

Are you trying to ruin me?

In this business, nothing is ever

as it seems. What looks bad today,

can become a blessing tomorrow.

- As a blessing?

- Mhm.

You can shove it up your

up your a*s, your blessing!

Yes, and then shove those damn pots

right after them! f*ck you! f*ck you!

I am very satisfied with you.

Your first bonus.

How can I thank you?

Do your work.

Don't ask too many questions.

I leave it to others to decide

how they satisfy me.

I never ask for anything.

Thank you.

I have been working here for 19 years.

My goodness, Peter, come down.

How could this happen?

How could you let this happen?

You know what, I was on your side.

But now that you're reacting like this, I might not be

possibly not anymore.

Whose side are you on?

On his side, Peter.

Hello, you.

You must be Anna. I am Mark,

Mr. Tedeschi's assistant.

He says tonight he wants me to show you

whatever you want.

But we'll say hello first, come on.

You're late, Anna, and you

have an important date.

Look who's here, Mr. T.!

- I'm very happy to be here.

- Have we met before?

- They look so familiar to me.

- I'll be showing Anna's show soon.

- Oh yes?

- Yes.

Ha. And when will this indispensable

catharsis take place?

Mr. Tedeschi has planned everything precisely,

as is his way.

- Yes.

- Mr. Tedeschi?

- Oh God, not again.

- Will you come with me, please?

Oh. You know, Michael sees

something in you that

I don't notice at all,

but maybe I'm wrong.

Easy to say when you have

have done in your life,

than to judge the work of others.

Isn't that right, Attilia?

Well said, darling.

You gave it to the old witch.

Come on,

let's go and have fun.

I love this idea of editing your nightmares

and staging a m*rder.

My suggestion is to get people involved,

make them the

masters of their destiny.

Give them weapons, the taste

of power over life in their hands.

That sounds great to me.

Thank you.

Please forgive my intrusion.

I do not like to announce myself.

Of course I have a

Did I not mention that?

Because of the deal.

It fell through.

He was,

a complete disaster, so to speak.

Well done.

You have carried out my order

and sabotaged the negotiations from within.

At last.

I'm finally rid of Orlandi.

The reward for your

loyalty is your new job

in a market

that offers considerable growth opportunities.

And new perspectives.

Thank you.

I think that loneliness is much

more common than love.

That we just talk about it less,

out of fear.

You know, it's good for me

to see you, Omar.

Listen, my friend.

I finally know who it is.

I get justice.

You don't need this, Omar.

I've known you for so long.

Trust me.

Forgiveness is for the strong.

Do I count as one of them? I really don't know.

Listen, hate

cannot be ended by hate.

That's not possible, never.

I agree!

Here we have the most wonderful works

I have collected in my life.

Many are really good, but

a few shine in their own light.

It is impossible not to recognize this.

So you really believe in me?

I can help you.

I can work with you.

I can achieve a great deal for you.

The important thing is that you want it.

Mr. Tedeschi?

Michael.

Hi, Ivana.

Do you remember me?

- Yes.

- I just wanted to show you my portfolio.

- Oh, uh, yes.

- She's stunning, really.

Anna! Anna! Anna!

I am here.

What happened?

I was in Michael Tedeschi's gallery.

He is really very important.

He could do so much for me.

Sure.

He could definitely help you.

We've talked about it many times,

but because of what happened,

- I can't...

- Anna,

Don't think about what you have to do,

think about what you have to do in return.

Do you have a conscience?

If it is necessary.

Sometimes I wish

I was like you.

Anna!

Anna!

Anna!

News!

Anna?

Anna?

Anna!

What is that?

This is the transformation

of my nightmares into art.

Tedeschi loves the idea.

That will be our liberation.

That's crazy.

Burn the stuff.

Everything, do it!

- You don't understand.

- I don't. No,

You don't understand.

It's ill*gal and dangerous.

- It's art.

- No. Anna, you're so naive.

- Luna, stop now.

- Anna, look at me.

- This is serious.

- Come on, stop it.

- Anna. Anna.

- Come on, stop it.

I'll always look after you.

Can you hear me?

It's just you and me.

We're leaving here.

We'll manage.

It's just you and me.

I am the princess and you are the lady-in-waiting.

Why aren't we

both princesses?

I want mom.

You are not my mother!

You are not my mother.

Okay, I'll give it a try.

So, a little to the right.

Very slowly.

- I see.

- So, slowly, don't forget, yes?

I'm sorry to barge in here,

but I need to talk to you.

Alone.

I once told you something

about my family.

And from my father's boss, who ruined him with

him with the wrong investments.

My sister and I knew

that he liked little girls.

To get revenge, we wanted to take photos and videos

videos and blackmail him.

We were only ten or so.

It got out of hand.

An accident happened. Now

my sister can put us in danger.

I am afraid.

What will she do now?

To reach the green, it is not enough,

to know the trajectory,

knowing the terrain, the wind

and your club number is important.

I know. I know everything

about you, right from the start.

That's why you're here.

No need to panic.

How could...

I told you something once,

don't you remember?

Never ask "how".

Don't be alarmed,

Miss Bonomi.

Sharif is my husband.

Very trustworthy.

See him there

as your best friend.

He will accompany you.

The conditions have changed.

We cannot afford the costs,

but we must not miss this opportunity.

You need to find a solution.

That's why I chose you.

I expect that from you.

Don't disappoint me.

I was just thinking to myself.

The man at the window,

do not look,

would solve all your problems.

He owns twenty percent of the houses,

that you can see from the terrace.

If he were on your side,

Problem solved.

Forgive me.

Please.

Let's get to the point. We both want

this country and play the same game.

My company is offering one hundred and eighty

million more than the starting price,

Your company does not have

the necessary technology.

Who told you

I don't have the technology?

Pay the difference

and we'll take care of the rest.

I would like to know

why I have to accept your offer.

Because they know that you don't make deals with

with your head, but with your gut.

You make money with brains.

But I'm happy to let them finish.

So, how did it go?

Good, of course.

- I'm ready to leave for Rome.

- Good.

So, should I take care of them?

Wait.

Let's savor that first.

They torpedo all my plans.

Is that a compliment?

More than that, because I like to haggle

usually like to haggle, a cultural thing.

But if the idea is good and we can also

earn money, why waste time.

I'll see you in my office tomorrow,

to finalize the deal, okay?

Anna, listen, I'm not angry with you,

I just want to know if you're okay.

Call me back. Ok?

I think your suggestion

is brilliant, Miss Bonomi.

I hope my opinion holds good.

- When will the drilling start?

- Soon.

The technicians from the drilling team

will arrive in a few days.

Everything is in order.

Perfect.

You are my guest tonight.

Come on, trust me.

It's one of the most beautiful things

in the world, right down here.

Yes.

Come along.

Yes, right here.

God, it's beautiful.

It is the nymphaeum

of the Villa Giulia.

Most people think that it is

Roman, but it is Greek

and more than 2300 years old.

Nymphaea were sacred to the Greeks,

but for the Romans they were places of pleasure.

The world prayed, the Romans celebrated.

Old habits

can't be k*lled, can they?

It is beautiful.

How did you do that? Hm?

Michael?

Michael?

Have you thought about my ideas

for the show?

Sure.

- Yes?

- Day and night.

The paint g*n would be a hit.

It's on the list of what I steal from you,

of what I steal from you.

Really?

What else do you have on your list?

Tell me, do you believe in what I'm doing?

Before it goes down in history,

every work of art

must go through the checkout.

Anna, are you coming with me?

TEDESCHI GALLERY

He says he's happy

that you're both here.

Listen, Luna,

We used to always pack some,

when we rode out with the horses.

Although he loves riding,

he has always preferred soccer.

He's like a brother to me.

We grew up together.

I'll tell you something now.

If something is really important to him,

then I'm always the first person

he asks for advice.

I've often had to rescue him,

but I'm sure

that's not the case with you.

And just like any brother,

he talks too much.

I know.

Not everyone can be saved.

What do you mean by that?

I mean, maybe we finally have

finally have something in common.

Hello? What?

How is he?

I'll be right there.

I have to admit that

I am worried about this situation.

Why?

Don't you think we're exposing ourselves?

It's a big risk.

I trust her.

Sir, there was an accident during

during his morning training.

He has injured himself.

- He needs a good vet.

- Don't make a fool of yourself.

Let go.

I am busy. Please leave

a message and I'll call you back.

Hi, Anna, I wanted to tell you,

that I finally feel something.

And then I wanted to tell you

to tell you,

that I love you,

whatever you decide.

Okay?

Here you are, ma'am.

Please take a paint g*n.

Yes, this is the entrance. Would you like a

a paint g*n? Here, your g*n, sir.

Yes, yes, this way. Here you are, ma'am.

Would you like a p*stol? Here you are.

Have fun. This way in. Yes, sir.

Thank you. Enjoy the show.

1 NEW MESSAGE FROM LUNA

Don't touch me! Stop it, please!

No, leave me alone!

- Please!

- Come here!

Leave me alone!

Don't be afraid.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Come on, come here.

Fire!

Oh God!

Oh no!

Is she okay?

Why are they sh**ting at them?

FOR MY SON OF THE DESER- Was that real?

- Yes, the last shot was real.

Are you sure?

That doesn't exist!

PAIDEIA, INTERNATIONAL HOSPITAL

The cab you wanted is here.

I'm sorry, but I have to leave immediately.

Go on, do it.

Got everything done.

I am in Dubai.

- Also what I wanted?

- She's out of the game.

I want to see it.

Don't touch me! Stop it, please!

No, leave me alone!

- Please! Please!

- Come on, come here, come over here.

Leave me alone! I don't want this!

Stop it! Leave me alone!

Do not be afraid.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Come here now.

Amir, listen to me.

I've seen the video.

The photos that Barak sold you,

were real photos,

or clips from a longer video?

Yes, I think these are screenshots from the video

the video I got you.

f*ck!

- Hi.

- How is she, Sigrid?

Things are bad for her, Luna,

it's bad, very bad.

Can you drive faster? Please!

Come on, please, man, pick up!

f*cking hell. f*ck! sh*t.

Everything went according to plan.

I'm sure you know

that you are in my debt.

Michael,

Tell me, do you believe

that dreams mean anything?

I had one last night.

That was

strange.

I drowned in my bathtub.

There were a lot of people there,

but nobody lifted a

finger to help me.

They say that revenge is followed by remorse.

Not at all!
