Quotes 

• Guido : I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest film. No lies whatsoever. I thought I had something so simple to say. Something useful to everybody. A film to help bury forever all the dead things we carry around inside. Instead, it's me who lacks the courage to bury anything at all. Now I'm utterly confused, with this tower on my hands. I wonder why things turned out this way. Where did I lose my way? I really have nothing to say, but I want to say it anyway. Why don't those spirits of yours come to my aid? You always said they had lots of messages for me. Let them get to work.

  Rossella : I've already told you: your attitude is all wrong. You're curious in a childish way. You want too many guarantees.

  Guido : Fine, but what do they say?

  Rossella : The same as always. They're very reasonable. They know you very well.

  Guido : Well then?

  Rossella : They say you're free, but you have to choose. And you don't have much time. You have to hurry.
