Different Love Tales

By Alicia Paneque and Luigi Vellucci

Three short stories, different but yet united by two dominant motifs: fantasy and love. I dare say a single common thread that unites them in a symbiosis, an osmosis, which I would call Fantasy of love or rather Fanta love. A journey, through time that unites two souls who, from the most ancient past, chase each other uniting the two like clouds in the sky that, carried by the wind of time, become one.

Alicia Paneque

Bella Cortez the actress turned author, now dedicates herself to a subject that, like Vellucci that precedes it, could certainly become a film in which a love different from the others excels: a violent, obsessive and perverse love that originates from madness and only in death, runs in between episodes of adventure and twists, intrigues and death. We knew Cortez as an actress who now reveals herself, with her biography already published and now with this passionate and exciting telling, is a classy writer.

SUBJECT WITH NODS OF SCRIPT,

Overview of a cloudless sky. Then Vision of an ancient city, Sparta, computer reconstruction.

NARRATOR’SVOICE / O S-TEXT AS YOU SEE THE WALLED CITY: -

Spartan, last decades of the 8th century B C. The Spartani, set off to fight Messene and vow never to return to Sparta only as winners. The war has been going on for 10 years - when women point out that leaving it would left Sparta with out men- because they were like widows all ready. It was the very young, who remained in the city, who had not sworn to win or die, the parents of those who were born and were called the Parteni . But when the Spartans returned from the war, the Parteni were regarded as illegitimate sons and allied with Iloti slaves to have their rights to every Spartan.

FILMED SCENES: IN A GYM IN SPARTA

Athletes train in wrestling, boxing and pancrazio. You see a disk bolo the through far his disco use as weapons. A big athletic lift from the ground a big boulder, the others are a runners. Even the womans triner in wrestling and to use the weapon A woman emerges not only for beauty but for skill in wrestling. Its name is Etra which means Heaven in Greek.

Etra: Come on Damos! Do you feel like wrestling with me? Aren’t you a little bit of a pain in the ass to do that? -

Damos (Falanto’s Friend): - I’d rather not deal with you. You’re a force of nature, but I’m not backing down. -

Etra gives him a blow with her leg behind his knees; the legs bend and Damos falls down to the ground laughing. Damos: - For Hercules! I didn’t expect that. yes, you’re skilled and too strong for me... Even Falanto has to be careful of you... and your shots. -

Then thoughtful Damos turns to Etra: -went Falanto will return will guide us to the revolt and we will have the lands conquered by the Messeni. We will take advantage during the feasts of the god Hyakintos. -

Etra: - You should not always risk Falanto, just because he is the strongest. -

Damos: - Not only does he have the strength of Hercules,but he has the cunning of Ulysses, the wisdom of Nestor, the aggression, if necessary, of Achilles and the rare virtue of prudence, when necessary. Falanto is the son of Arato, a descendant of Hercules, of whom he possesses the noble blood and immense strength, and Apollo himself protects him. So you don’t have to fear for him, Etra,and then, (Smiling) we all know he’s beaming for you. -

Etra: - And I love him more than my own life. -

The scene moves to Olympia. Computer-reconstructed images of Olympia. Far away the temple of Jupiter and inside the and enormous statue of the God,Jupiter.

Falanto prays in the temple: - I will dedicate to you, Jupiter, my victories if you give me the strength of your son Heracles and sacrifice a great ox to you,father of the gods.

A great thunder can be heard and lightning rips through the sky.

Falanto: - Thank you Father Jupiter, I feel that you have accepted my request and I will be grateful. -

The ludi begin. Falanto (close-up on the face and then on the naked body, covered with a thong) throws away his disc. People clap.

Falanto, fights an Athenian athlete and knocks him down by making him touch the ground with his back.

Then - he covers up with iron studded gloves. Boxing scene in which to highlight the bodies of the wrestlers, then the face of Falanto who wins.

Finally. Pancrazio scene. Close-up on falanto’s tired face thinking. (You can only hear his voice)_

Falanto:- I have to win, at any cost! No, I’m not tired... I still have a lot of energy in me. I’m going to beat this big, big athlete like a buffalo. Yes, he will return with a few fewer teeth to Corinth. -

The competition judges argue with each other to pass judgment on the winners.

Judge A: - Falanto, son of Arato, won the victory in boxing, Pancrazio, wrestling and disc throwing. -

Judge B: - Threw the disc away as if it had been an arrow. -

JudgeA.- Falanto deservedly won, that he is crowned with divine laurels and given amphorae, as in the Panatenaic, with the oil obtained from the olive trees sacred to Athena that are given to the winning athletes. These are the glories of our cities and our most valid defense in times of war! -

Close-up on Falanto’s face and then on the entire body covered only by the subligaculum (thong). Falanto then climbs on to the biga and goes around the stadium.

Falanto thinks : - It’s not over, I’ll also win in the race with wagons.-

Spectacular scene of the race ... Vince Falanto also in this ludo. And another award ceremony.

JUDGE of the race : - May a statue be raised in Falanto in Olympia, for his victories! -

Judge B: - A moment! Falanto is one of the Parthies, an illegitimate son.... It cannot obtain such honours...-

Judge A: - Falanto won and his glory is great; no one can deny it to him. And no glory is greater than that in the ludi. May it also be crowned with laurel! -

Close-up of Falanto smiling and hugging his opponents.

BACK TO SPARTA.

Falanto can be seen running towards his town. You can see the walls and then the sacred door from which Falanto enters awaited by everyone. In Sparta Falanto is acclaimed and celebrated as a god, especially by the Parthers and the Ilotes but it is his opponents in sport who plot against him because they hope to eliminate him in sports and social life in the same city. -

Agatos: - The Parters are the dishonour of our city. I’m ashamed to be spartan. In the other polis the term Spartan is meaning, illegitimate and then it is known that, together with the ilotes, they claim the lands that we have conquered fighting while their mothers, virgins ... (IRONIC TONE) of Sparta were the instrument of pleasure of the young people who remained here. -

Forerunner:- The Spartan virgins were, it is true granted but to give new arms to the homeland. Now we thank them so wanting to drive their children out of Sparta? -

Agatos: - Meanwhile Falanto is back victorious from Olympia and is honored as a god by Parteni and iloti. We can’t move against him now. We will wait until the right time. - The assembly dissolves while the city celebrates Falanto.

A biga can be seen arriving from afar in a tree-lined avenue within the walls of Sparta. Etra and Falanto meet. Etra runs to meet Falanto who lifts her like a feather by hugging and kissing her tenderly.

Etra: -- At last you’re back, my heart. I felt so lonely. -

Falanto: - I too missed you but you were in my heart.-

Etra: - Hold me tight to you. Kiss me again, for as many times as you were away and I dreamed only of this moment and I could see you coming, with the rising sun, as beautiful as Apollo driving his chariot into the sky -

Falanto: - I felt your lack too, but you were always with me, in my thoughts, indesires and I needed, as well as air, to feel the warmth of your body, of your caresses. I could hear in me your voice, your words that incited me and helped me to emerge, always, in every ludo. And when I collapsed from fatigue, you would get me up, with your thoughts and give me courage; after so many blows I would get up and fight. If you the one helped me win. My victories are thanks to you. -

Etra: - It is only thanks to you and the gods, Falanto, that you must thank and honor. -

Falanto - I have already sacrificed to Jupiter for my victory. But now I would like to sacrifice to Aphrodite and he will join us in marriage in her temple,there, on the hill. -

Etra: - All these months. You weren’t there, and I felt so lonely, like when, as a child, I lost myself in the crowd. I couldn’t found my parents and wept in despair like an abandoned child there, on the Taigeto. I need you as the land, dryer of August, water that rains only with the first days of autumn. And you’re that rain that makes me hope for love. -

Falanto: - Now you will no longer be alone. You will soon be my bride and, if here we are not allowed to live in peace, we will go together, faraway, and find a new land where I will always stay with you, my flower. And that land will be blessed and sung by poets, inhabited by muses and rivers, oreadis, and even gods who will grant us some of their happiness.

Etra: - Love me, Falanto, now, no longer waiting. There may not be a tomorrow for us. And I need to feel mine, to be yours, who knows for just one day, who knows, forever.

SENSUAL OR DELICATE LOVE SCENE. Depending on who is dedicated to the film : to adults, to children or to everyone.

After love, one last tender kiss and then...

Falanto: - I must go, love, Damos awaits me. We must react to the oligarchy which continues to rage against the Parthoans. There is a discontent and perhaps we will have to rise up and ask for what our rights are. I won’t be alone in fighting. There’s Damos and lots of friends. The situation in Sparta is becoming unbearable. The oligarchy, feeling unsafe, is only raging against the ilotes treated worse than the beasts and we part of the party will support them. -

Etra: - Be cautious, I do not want to lose you now that you have returned to me and it seems to me a dream to feel wrapped in your gaze and be loved with such tenderness. And rest assured that I won’t give you up anymore. -

Meanwhile, at the amicleo sanctuary where Artemis and Hiakintos are worshipped, Sparta celebrates, and the Parthus gather there. The riot would have taken place there.

Philonid, uno of the parters: - As soon as Falanto appears in the temple of Amycles, we will rise! -

Damos: - At Falanto’s signal, when he takes off his helmet, our revolt will take place. That cap, of which Falanto frees himself, is a symbol of freedom, an invocation to the gods for a freeing for the Parthus and the Ilotes! -

As Falanto makes his way to the temple, a beautiful woman appears to him, in immense light, dressed in armor, a helmet decorated in gold and silver and a shield
