"♪ Loving strangers" "♪ Loving strangers" "♪ Loving strangers" "♪ Love, your love" "♪ Loving strangers" " Yeah." "  I know you're a good person." " So how long are you staying in Rome?" " I fly back to Moscow tomorrow." " What a coincidence!" " So do I." " You fly to Moscow?" "  Back to Spain." "  This is my hotel." "  Mine is down there on the left." "  So, this is closer." "  For you, yes." "  For you too." "  No." " Come on." " Please, just a little stop, to drink the last one." " We drank plenty in the bar." " Yes, but we only talked about Russia and Spain, not about us." " I prefer not to talk about us." " It's a deal." "  What is?" "  We don't talk." " We can stay without talking, you know?" " And even better." " See, that's my room." " It's got two flags." " Must be a reason, no?" " Yes, one for Europe and one for Rome." " I'm talking about what's in the middle." "  The middle flag is missing." "  Exactly." " That's because of you." " You have to come up and hang it there." "  And what do I hang there?" "  I don't know." " Your clothes, for example." " You are long enough." " Come on." " I've never gone up to a woman's room." " It's just a hotel room in Rome." " If you keep pulling, you'll win and we'll end up in your hotel." " You choose." "  Drink?" "  Wine." " Wine." " Sorry, what was your name?" " I told you twice already." " Maybe at the third time I get it." " Natasha." " Natasha." " Was that the name you said before?" " But you are not saying it right." " It's Nata-sha." " Sha." "  Sha." "  Sha." " And you are Alba, which is Spanish for dawn." " That's my big moment." " You'll see." " Tonight is the first night of the summer." " Ah, yes, that's right, in Europe." " In Russia, summer has already begun, the first of June." " Really?" " Do you have summer in Russia?" " Of course." " Well, it's Russian summer." " And this is my last night in Rome." " Mine too." " You're not on your own, little Russian." " You know for sure this is the shortest night of the year, here and in Russia, so we have to make the most of it." " I'm not..." " I'm not a..." " What?" " Come on, you're a woman, and... and I'm a woman and we were drinking alone at a bar and we exchanged looks and felt attracted to one another." " Isn't that how it works?" " It's the first time in my life I look like this at a woman." " Never before a woman looked at me this way." " It's not the first time you look at a woman like this." " But every woman is different." " Would you like to see me naked?" " I would love to." " Here?" " Wherever you like." " Do you prefer inside?" "  Yes." "  Ok, let's go inside then." " I think it'll work better if you undress me." " It's Ok." " It's Ok." " It's Ok." " We'll stay like this, close but not touching, while you relax." " Yes?" " It's better if you're asleep." " That way we don't have to say goodbye." " You're right." " I'll say a few words." " Goodbye, Alba." " I don't want to imagine what might have happened." " This secret will stay there, sleeping with you." " Thank you, Alba." " Goodbye." " Who changed my ring tone?" " What the hell happened?" "  Who is it?" "  Natasha" "Natasha, right." " I think I've left my mobile in your room." "  Did you hear it ringing?" "  Yes, it woke me up, actually." " Sorry." " It must have fallen out of my bag." " I'm very tired and I want to go to my hotel." " Come in and take it." " It's waiting for you under the bed." " I'd rather not come in again." " Why?" " What happened?" " Nothing." " Nothing, actually." " Nothing we have to regret." "  Why did you chew up my panties?" "  I didn't chew anything." " See the state you left them in." " Good evening." " Good evening." " How thoughtful, Natasha!" " I wasn't expecting this." " Hey, come in and leave it in the terrace." " Sorry, madam." " It's for this room." " But if you want, I can come afterwards and take your order." "  Feeling hungry?" "  No, no." "  You heard." " What's your name?" "  Max." " Max, we are not hungry right now but in a couple of hours we will." " You just call me." " I'm free all night." " I mean I'm on duty the whole night." " It's there." " Where is your hotel?" " This is Tevere... and you get to my hotel... this way." " This is the Rome of the Caesars." " Yes." " It's a map to lose yourself." " Where should we lose ourselves?" " Choose." " We have, um... the gardens." " Tempio Della Fortuna, Tempio Della Ninfa." " My hotel is called "Ninfa"." "  And yours?" "  Pompeo." " Look, it's this way." " You pass through the gardens, and... and here we are, we are on top of the theatre." " No, we are... we are inside of Teatro di Pompeo." " Wow!" " History's looking at us." " We are surrounded." "  Can you feel it'?" "  How could I not?" "  I think you like history." "  Yes." " That's good." " Alba." " This stays here, ok?" " In this room." " In Rome." " Within these four walls." " But since we're here, let's have some fun, no?" " All I ask is that this doesn't affect my life." "  And how do you do that?" "  By agreeing, the two of us." " You also have a life outside of all this that you want to protect, don't you?" " Very far from yours." " But tomorrow Rome will send each of us to an opposite end of Europe." "  What if I'm not Russian?" "  Come on, you have to be Russian." " I love that." " Well, then I am." " What's great is not knowing each other's name." " But don't we?" " Don't tell me you gave me your real name." " So your name isn't Natasha?" " I knew it." " Alba is the name I was going to call my daughter." " What happened to her?" " Alba never saw the dawn." " I'm sorry." " That put an end to the worst time of my life, when my Alba died inside of me." " My mother took me to Marbella one summer when I was 16." " She was almost broke and what little money she had left she spent on fortune-hunting, and she was lucky." " An Arab sheik, Hamir Osemin, he... he bumped into us one day when we were shopping and we spent the rest of the summer in his yacht." " That winter he invited us to Saudi Arabia." " He has a palace." " Even if I describe it to you, you could never imagine the luxury." " He bought my mother everything." " So she left there with bracelets, necklaces and rings worth a small fortune." " She left?" "  What about you?" "  I stayed." " Hamir persuaded my mother to leave me there in exchange for a monthly allowance for four years." " That was the deal." " I was all he was interested in." " So you accepted?" " You can't imagine how easy it was for me, falling into that type of lifestyle." " I had everything I wanted!" " Hamir bought me a purebred horse that only I was allowed to ride." " I began to love him like a child." " Everyone around me was very nice." " Also, Hamir's other wives treated me like a real princess." " And he got you pregnant?" " That was at the and." " Hamir started to get annoyed with me because I didn't get pregnant." " That was when I wanted to leave." " But I couldn't." " I'd married him so I was his property, like my horse." " He sold him to punish me." " Hamir got his way, because shortly afterwards he got me pregnant." " He was over the moon." " He began treating me royally again, this time like a queen." " Then I realised that as soon as my child was born..." "Well, I'd be shut up with the rest of his harem." " The day the doctor told me I was expecting a girl, an Egyptian nurse who I'd told the story to helped me escape in a Greek ship." " I arrived in Athens at dawn so I decided to call her Alba." " How did you lose her?" " I'd found out that Hamir had gone to the authorities." " There was a warrant out for my arrest in Saudi Arabia." " I knew that if I'd had Alba, ha..." "He couldn't have rested until I was caught." " I was only 18 so I got an abortion." " I sold my necklace and managed to start a new life in Spain." " What about your mother?" " I've never seen her again." " And is that how you became a lesbian?" " This is how I became a woman." " What about you?" " How did you become a woman?" " I don't feel like talking about my life." " You owe me." " What do I owe to you?" " The truth or a lie?" " Whatever you prefer." " Why?" " Do you think I lied to you?" " It's the Agora in Athens." " Did you know that?" " Which came first, the picture or your story?" " Who inspired who?" " Good question." " This picture has been hanging here since before you were born." " Long before, and it's been waiting for me all this time." " Let's make a deal." " No stories." " Just tell me where you live, your area and everything, so I can get an idea of your surroundings." " First go to Moscow." " You have the biggest map in the world." " Now go to the Volga, further east." " Even further east." " From there towards Ostrov Nekrasov." "  Where?" "  Ostrov Nekrasov." " Ostrov Nekrasov." " You write it, please." " What is that there?" " Ostrov means island." " Tell me this is your house and I'll have to spank your ass." " Wow!" " It's as hard as a rock." " Hey, tell me, what are you doing here in Rome?" " Auditioning." " I'm an actress." " A Russian film actress." " Are you a good one, a very famous one, or just married to a Mafioso?" "  I'm single." "  So, you must be a very good one." " Congratulations." " Show me your Arabian palace." " It's not mine.." "Aren't you going to show it to me?" " The thing is, if Hamir finds out that we are sniffing over his house..." " What?" "  He's capable of..." "Anything could happen to us." " Look, if you don't show it to me," "I'll think you are the one who owes me a story." " A true one." " I want to know where you live." " Look." "  Do you like it?" "  Is it a village?" " No, it's a city called San Sebastian." "  Looks a bit small." "  It depends what you compare it to." " Rome." " I'd say about, um... 20 times smaller." " Ha." " Moscow is three times the size of Rome." " Well, I like it, and you look a lot like your city." " Small, pretty face." " It's not my city." " I'm from Valladollid, which is like three times bigger." "  Show me your house.." " It's here." "  They left the chairs out.." " So?" " I wasn't expecting this." "  What?" " A child?" "  A boy and a girl." "  You have children." "  What?" " Can't I be a mother?" " Of course." " What's up, Alba?" " The father of your children know you like women?" " It's not that." " It's the picture." " It's..." "It's quite old." " Look at the beach." " It's full of people." " I'm sure we were there." " Or on the island." " We used to love spending Sundays on the island." " This picture is from the summer I started living in San Sebastian." " Two years ago." " What's wrong?" " Alba, is there something you need to tell me?" " Poor thing." " Where did you come from?" " How could you just show up like this, without warning?" " I can't believe I'm doing this." " What are you doing to me?" " You're scaring ms, little Russian." " Is this ms?" " I can't recognize myself." " Russian sounds so beautiful." " Only for you." " I'm trembling with fear too." " I'm going to give you the best orgasm of your life." " Are you ready?" " Yes." "  You know what I'd love?" "  Tell me, anything you like." " Do you have a vibrator?" " I'll come better if you put something inside me." " I don't use vibrators." " And you're not going to need one either." " I know myself." " What about a little wine bottle?" " I don't really fancy the idea of anything masculine coming between us." " It's from "La Toscana."  Sounds very feminine." " I'm not sticking anything inside of you Natasha." " Alba, don't forget I like men." " But you like me as well." " Yes, but I like men more." " You know, I know plenty who, once they've tried it with a woman, never want to go back to man." " Well, I won't let that happen to me." " In fact, I prefer the opposite." " So after me you expect to like men more?" " That would be terrific." " It's not very nice telling me this now." " I don't want us to argue, and even less over a bottle of wine." " An empty one too." " I'm going to order you something." " What are you doing?" " Spaniards and Italians we understand each other's language." "  Good evening" " Yes, it is." " Hungry yet?" " The lady needs a vibrator." " I'm sorry, we don't have any." " But I can bring something else." " We have fruit." " That's not good enough." " Something else might work..." "No, forget it." " Thanks, Max." " You are out of your mind." " You know that?" " I did it for you." " What if Max takes it as an invitation and comes up himself?" " Well, then you'll be able to choose between Max or a bottle of wine." " Well, Max comes from Maximus." " It is also the diminutive of Maximus." " Maximo." " Max." " We're fine, Max.." "We don't need anything." " I brought a hot cucumber." " What?" " I boiled it for two minutes." " It's sterile." " My friend would rather use the wine bottle." " It's Tuscan." " What about you?" " Me?" " I'm a virgin." " Congratulations." " Spain beat Italy." " Fair and square." " What's that?" " The Eurocup." " Soccer." " Soccer bores me." " What about your friend?" " Her as well." " She's a Russian tennis player." " What?" " I love Russian tennis players." " Though I'm starting to wonder." " Check her arm.." "What?" " One arm should be stronger than the other." " Yes, you are a tennis player." " Look at your right arm!" " I'm left-handed!" " I mean left, sorry." " And you've got calluses." " This is the proof!" " You two wanna have a trio?" " Wanna see it first?" " No, Max." " It's nice of you to offer, but no." " You speak Italian?" " It's a beautiful language." " Please, go." " Leave us alone." " I got my hopes up." " I thought it's what you wanted." " I'm sorry, it was a misunderstanding." " We shouldn't have called you." " Good night." " I was only joking about the cucumber." " Well, thanks to Max," "I've discovered a Russian tennis player who speaks Italian." "  I like football too." "  You lied to me." " That mansion on the island couldn't be yours." " There is no tennis court." " So you understood me before?" "  When?" "  When I spoke to you in Spanish." " Yes, and I was thrilled." " Thrilled?" "  To hear that you scare me?" "  Yes." " Come here." " I'm beginning to realise that everything about you scares me." " Your eyes." " Your mouth." " Your smile." " The way you speak." " The tone of your voice." " Your smell." " Your scent." " Your breath." " Your stunning body." " Your skin." " Your skin is incredible." " I'm more scared by the colour of yours." " Your skin is like the Russian steppe." " That's very scary." " A question." " If I had a twin sister, identical in every way, with the same eyes, same mouth, voice..." "And the same skin?" " Yes, especially the skin." "  Would you be that scared?" "  Do you have a twin sister?" " It's just hypothetical." " I don't know." " Maybe I would, maybe I wouldn't." " What do you prefer?" " I just feel very fortunate that it's me here, and not my twin sister." " Ok, you have to explain me this." " I have a twin sister with a degree in history of art." " She just finished her thesis on the Italian Renaissance." " I came here with her." "  What's her name?" "  Dasha." " Like you." " Because you told me your name was Natasha." " I don't know your name either." " Now I know why your Italian is so good." " I also studied history of art." " But in our third year, we both auditioned for a film and they chose me." " Since then, my sister and I drifted apart." " Can you prove it?" " Prove?" "  What does that say?" "  Sasha Veronina." " Sasha?" " Natasha, Dasha, and now Sasha?" " You're triplets or what?" " So what's with the tennis?" " My sister Dasha and I have played since we were kids." " But she was always better than me." " When do you get to play tennis?" " You can't have much time between filming, parties and premières." " Can you show me your sister?" " Dasha is number tan female tennis player in Russia." "  And she's left-handed like you." "  Yes, I am left-handed too." " There is no reason why twins should both be left-handed, even though they're identical in every other way." " But we are." " Is there not anything different between you two?" " Eh?" " I was the first one to become a woman." " Though not like you." " What do you mean?" " My mother died when we were 13." " From that time, my father started to treat me like a woman." " He used to only touch me." " And your sister?" " No, just me." "  Why?" "  I don't know." " But I felt like I should keep it secret from my sister, until one night..." "Dasha saw us." "  How did she react?" "  Badly." " She felt rejected and..." "That's how her inferiority complex began." " She got a complex because your father didn't touch her up?" " She should have been grateful." " That didn't last long, less than a year." " Are you crying?" " You can cry if you want." " The thing is I don't cry." "  You don't?" "  Well, I haven't in a long time." " Crying is good for you." " I know." " So cry like an actress." " Come on, please." "  Act for me." "  That's what I am doing." " I will love to see you cry." " Then I'll have the chance to comfort you." " Come on." " Cry, cry..." "Sorry, Alba." " I'm not a good actress." " Do I sing well?" " I imagine in that Arabian harem, you had all kinds of relations with women." "  Or was it forbidden?" "  I never lived in Saudi Arabia." "  Shame." " I liked that story." "  So did I." "It was my mother who fled away from Saudi Arabia in a Greek ship." " She was pregnant with me, running away from my father." " I'm Hamir's daughter, and I was born in Athens." "  I'm glad Alba exists." "  Thanks." " So, you are Greek not Spanish?" " No, few months after I was born my mother brought me back to Spain." " Did your mother also become a lesbian?" " Come on!" " My mother had several men and several problems, but she always took care of me and I took care of her." " And you, have you ever been with a man?" " I'm a lesbian from birth, like you are a twin from birth." " Look, Alba, I..." "I haven't been completely honest with you." "  I'm getting married next Sunday." "  Who?" "  The actress or the tennis player?" "  The tennis player." " Dasha?" " So you are not the actress, you are the twin." " My sister's also a twin." " Yeah, but I mean the... the Renaissance one." " You are the Renaissance one." " Ok, in..." "in one way I prefer it, but I..." "I don't like the idea of you getting married so soon." " We've been planning it for almost a year." "  Who with?" "  The tutor supervising my thesis." "  Is he Italian?" "  No he's from Moscow." " We've bought a small apartment." " We'll move in after our honeymoon." "  In one of those Russian beehives?" "  Yes, very different from my sister." " I'm glad you are middle class." " But especially happy that your father didn't touch you up." " So, then, you are the one with the inferiority complex?" " I don't get it." " One night I woke up and saw my sister's bed was empty." " I decided to get up and go to my father's room." " I remember his huge hands with long and strong fingers... caressing Sashas naked body identical to mine." " I stayed there hidden for a while, watching." " It was the first time in my life I experienced sexual pleasure." " Every time I woke up and my sister wasn't there," "I undressed and touched myself." " I understand you, little Russian." " That put an immense distance between Sasha and me." " But now I like my life so much more than my sister's." " That's good." " Now you can have your own family." " Please, hold still." " Alba, you said it wrong." " Then teach me how to say it!" " We'll hold still when you say it right." " What are they speaking in?" " Basque." " It's a very, very ancient language." " It's quite difficult." " I'm trying to learn it, but every time I make mistakes, the kids make fun of me." " I want to have children too." " They're Edurne's kids." "  How long have you been with her?" "  Two years." " She had just separated and I had just come out of a stormy relationship." " One weekend she passed through Madrid and we hooked up, and a month later I moved to San Sebastian to live with her." " Mommy." " Give me a kiss." " What's wrong?" " Come on, Alba, please tell me." " The little boy, he died last winter." " It was in a stupid accident in the house." " I haven't watched this video since it happened." " Edurne hasn't... hasn't got over it." " The boy died with me at home." " We were both alone." " Edurne doesn't blame me, but I wish she could have been there that afternoon with him and not me." " Who knows?" " Maybe the accident wouldn't have happened." " How do you run with these legs?" " What a wonderful sense of speed!" " I bet you sprint like a gazelle." " How long have you been with him?" " With Vadim?" " Four years." " Intense years." "  And you love him?" "  Actually, I do deeply." " I learn a lot being with him." " He is very cultured." " And he always knows what to do." " Had you ever been unfaithful to him?" " No." " Had you to Edurne?" " Me neither." " It hurts us both equally, right?" " Would you like to give me a wedding present?" " Sure." " These are the ones left." " I don't know." " What do you prefer?" " Whatever you choose." " And what do I put?" " From Alba, the Spanish girl in Rome?" " Mm?" " Well, if you were a man it might look suspicious." " I'll say that while I was in Rome I meta very sweet Spanish girl." "  And cute." "  Gorgeous." " Vale." " Why are you here in Rome?" " It's a wedding present from my sister, a week in Italy, an attempt to bring us together." " But tonight we had a fight and I went off on my own." " So, I met you thanks to an argument?" "  Is your sister a good actress?" "  Yes, very good." " And she can cry wonderfully." " But it's also true that her boyfriend is..." "Mafioso?" " What about you?" " What are you doing here?" "  Here?" "  Yes, in Rome." " I'm here for the Alternative Locomotion Energy Fair." " Future means of transport." " Ecological, clean vehicles with low energy consumption." " Huh." " Nice." "  What is it?" "  It's called Aspasia." " It's perfect for getting around in the city." " Maximum speed, 70 kilometres per hour.  40 miles." " It works like a bike." " You pedal it." " But if you need help getting up a slope, you can connect a silent, compressed air motor, and if it rains, you don't get wet." " Who invented this thing?" " Me." " What?" " What?" "  Don't I look like an inventor?" "  Actually, no." " I am a mechanical engineer." " Came top in my year." "  It makes sense." "  Why?" " Because you are the best woman I've ever met." " Thanks, love." "  Don't call me love." "  Why?" "  Love is something else." "  It is also for me." " That which I'm feeling right now is very similar to love." " Almost identical." " Any love there might be here right now is pure fantasy." " Like anywhere else!" " Now I know what you can give me as a present." " It's not in your wedding list." " I'm adding it now, and if you don't get it for me, someone else will." " Ok, I'll leave it here." " It's in the fair, for whoever wants to come and pick it up." "  Was it a success?" "  Ha, you bet." " I love it." " I'm sure it won't be long before they ban all cars from cities and introduce your Aspasias." " At the moment, this is the only prototype." " One is enough for me in Moscow." " Be sure that if you get my Aspasia as a present, it comes with me inside." " We are inseparable." " Even better." " I also know who Aspasia was." " She lived there in that painting." " As soon as I walked into this room a week ago, I noticed the picture and I thought that was a good sign for my Aspasia." " But just today I was told there is.." "There is no chance of it being manufactured." " So you went out and got drunk?" " The truth is, since last winter, after what happened to the boy, there is not one night I go to bed without drinking." " It helps me sleep." " Except tonight, you woke me up." " I should get going." " Can I have a shower first?" " Yeah." " I'm sorry, Vadim, but I can never tell you about this." " Now I have a secret too." " But it's much further away than yours." " Maybe I missed the sign in the painting." " It's you, my little Russian." " The good thing I was expecting." " You'll always have that... my reflection." " This..." "Is mine alone."

" I want to tell you something." "  Whatever you like." " Tonight before I met you, my sister told me something at dinner that deep down I imagined but never had the courage to ask." " We had drunk a lot of wine and we were having a very good time, until she told me that Vadim was with her before me." " He was also my sister's teacher but we were in different classes." " When she got the part we auditioned for and stopped coming to the university, he called her and they were together for a while." " It was her who left him." " I imagine between them they decided not to tell me anything, until tonight my sister let it slip." " Don't tell anyone, but I like you much more than your sister." " And white suits you much better." " The guests are waiting." " My sister was thinking of inviting several friends of her boyfriend." " Dodgy people." " Actually, that was why we argued." " Well done." " We don't want mafiosos here." " If anyone has anything to say, let him speak now or forever hold his peace." " Me." " We are all listening, bride." " The weird thing is, I'm worried about Vadim now." " In case my sister's boyfriend finds out." " He's an animal." " And you?" " What about you?" " Me?" " I know Vadim is in love with me." " I love the way you are." " You're such a good person." " The best of all of us." " And I'm sure you're right, Vadim loves you." " You above all." " Another strange thing." " Vadim has always reminded me of someone from the Renaissance." " One person in particular." " Who?" " That guy, the one speaking over your bed." " It's Leon Battista Alberti, one of my favourite humanists." " Ha said that you can't pull the string without having a dartboard to aim at." " What does that mean?" " The idea is that the artist must know at all times what he's representing." " The picture shows a symposium in the Medici Palace." " I'm sure he was talking about the Greeks." " He was fascinated by them." " That painting speaks of the other." " There are 20 centuries between these two pictures." " In our case, only one room." " We look like we're at a tennis match." " Conclusion." " Here beneath the city of my birth, do you love me?" " Well, I don't know why, but right now... yes, I am loving you." " With fantasies or without?" " With both." " I look good in white too, don't I?" " A new day is coming." " Dawn is my moment." " I'll stay and watch the dawn with you and then we say goodbye."

" What would you like?" " Something light, heavy?" " As heavy as it gets." "  You want it to last?" "  Yes, please." "  A nice big breakfast then." "  Thanks, Max." " Don't worry." " Can I hear your sister's voice?" " I hardly slept because of you." " And I don't like flying when I'm tired." " It's like they split your voice in two." " Who is that?" " Room service." " She brought breakfast." " You're having breakfast?" " Yes." " I'm hungry." " I'll see you at the hotel after." " Are you never going to tell her?" " So, then, what's the plan?" " Pass through here without a trace?" " Without..." "without ever telling anyone?" " That's up to each of us." " But there has to be something of us, of both of us, to remind us of this night." " Like what?" " There is no wind yet." " It's early." " When it blows, they'll take the photo." " You'll see." " They owe it to us." " What a beautiful thing you've just said, little Russian." "  Your idea was the best of all." "  We make a good team." " But we can only be seen from a satellite." " Oh, wow." " You're inspired." " By you." " That deserves a kiss." " Max." " Maximo."

" It's all so new to me." "  Shall we stay and live in Rome?" "  I'm in love with Rome." " We'll stay and live in Rome, then." " Would you do it?" " Would you leave Edurne and her kids?" " Sorry." " Her daughter." " To live with me here in Rome?" " This is real, Natasha, not a fantasy." " I feel it with absolute clarity." " The gates are opening for us." " Can't you hear them?"
