This one is a slow burn - the brilliant second half is worth the getting through the first, and the back third really is incredible.

Βασανιστικά ωραίο....τραγικά υπέροχο

"Loyalty, Signor Molteni, not love. Penelope is loyal to Ulysses but we do not know how far she loved him...and as you know, people can sometimes be absolutely loyal without loving. In certain cases, in fact, loyalty is a form of vengeance, of blackmail, of recovering one's self-respect. Loyalty, not love."
