La Notte | 1961

He's awake, but drugged with morphine

Will you operate?

No, it would be futile

Tommaso, are we disturbing you?

Come in, my dears

Operation successful, but the patient died

Sit down

I see there's a party to launch your book today

Let's not talk about it

Why not?

Your book is the one thing that really matters

Lidia, why don't you sit down?

Smoke if you like

I don't feel tired

Here's the magazine with your article on Adorno

What's your opinion? Shall I include it in my book?

Yes, it's very good. Your book will be excellent

I'll have to give it more thought

I haven't been able to think these last few days...

...yet this is my first free time in years

What an ironical holiday

Lidia, you look wonderful

I told Marcella not to come
