[00:01.943]Who are you? Why did you come here?
[00:04.748]You must leave at once.
[00:06.459]But I did not lie.
[00:07.836]I am Anatol.
[00:10.302]When my father died…
[00:13.854]When yout father died… Oh no!
[00:18.038]Poor Vanessa!
[00:20.213]After so many dreams,
[00:22.078]after so long a waiting!
[00:24.528]Oh, how unfair a game Life can be
[00:29.479]when Death can tally the score at will.
[00:34.604]Why did you not let her know?
[00:38.449]Why did you not write her?
[00:46.135]All through my youth
[00:47.272]I heard that name, Vanessa.
[00:51.355]Like a burning flame
[00:53.643]it used to scorch my motherʼs lips
[00:56.946]and light my fatherʼs eyes with longing.
[01:03.497]Now that I am alone
[01:06.506]I have been driven here
[01:08.671]to meet at last the woman,
[01:14.116]who haunted so my house: Vanessa.
[01:24.526]But who are you?
[01:26.020]Sometimes I am her niece
[01:28.899]but mostly her shadow.
[01:32.599]Now you must leave;
[01:34.193]you heard what she said.
[01:36.484]You are not going to send me
[01:38.051]out into the storm again!
[01:42.010]Tell her who I am
[01:43.357]and she will let me stay the night.
[02:07.707]Do not touch it;
[02:09.255]she cannot bear the sight of mirrors.
[02:19.829]Was the supper laid for him?
[02:28.474]Ah, Romanée-Conti.
[02:31.624]My father loved this wine.
[02:34.279]May I light the candles?
[02:36.589]I, too, love good food and wine…
[02:40.757]but my father lost his fortune dreamnig,
[02:44.445]while my mother bought subtle poisons
[02:48.323]to destroy his dreams.
[02:52.889]Now I can only drink the wine of others.
[02:59.681]Will you join me for supper
[03:03.629]That place was not set for me.
[03:06.852]Besides it is not with me
[03:09.561]that you come from so far
[03:11.368]to drink your wines.
[03:13.842]Nor was I the one who was expected.
[03:19.530]I am the false Dimitri, the Pretender;
[03:23.481]be my Marina!
[03:34.146]You never smile.
[03:49.793]Sit down.
[04:01.957]This is a wild and solitary place
[04:08.157]to pass oneʼs youth in.
[04:20.215]It is as if we had been always alone!
[04:41.353]What is your name?
[04:51.748]Erika.

Who are you? Why did you come here?
You must leave at once.
But I did not lie.
I am Anatol.
When my father died…
When yout father died… Oh no!
Poor Vanessa!
After so many dreams,
after so long a waiting!
Oh, how unfair a game Life can be
when Death can tally the score at will.
Why did you not let her know?
Why did you not write her?
All through my youth
I heard that name, Vanessa.
Like a burning flame
it used to scorch my motherʼs lips
and light my fatherʼs eyes with longing.

I have been driven here
to meet at last the woman,
who haunted so my house: Vanessa.
But who are you?
Sometimes I am her niece
but mostly her shadow.
Now you must leave;
you heard what she said.
You are not going to send me
out into the storm again!
Tell her who I am
and she will let me stay the night.
Do not touch it;
she cannot bear the sight of mirrors.
Was the supper laid for him?
Ah, Romanée-Conti.
My father loved this wine.
May I light the candles?
I, too, love good food and wine…
but my father lost his fortune dreamnig,

Sit down.
This is a wild and solitary place
to pass oneʼs youth in.
It is as if we had been always alone!
What is your name?
Erika.
