- 0:13Ciao. I'm Julia.
- 0:15Julia Kay. I'm glad you are here.
- 0:19Nobody has visited me in ages. It's been years now.
- 0:25I must tell you my story, but I don't know where to begin.
- 0:30There is so much that I should start from my childhood, but my
- 0:35memories of these times are vague.
- 0:37I only remember the summer of 1929 when they sent me off to
- 0:42stay with my nanny. Nanny, will you tell me the
- 0:57story of the White Lady? No, little Sparrow, not tonight.
- 1:01A fog is coming. See.
- 1:03Yes, I know that when it's foggy the lady kills young women, but
- 1:09why is she so evil? You see, Julia, pain and
- 1:14suffering can make us do evil things, even if we're not
- 1:18actually bad. Just like soldiers have to kill
- 1:20other soldiers. I like the lady, I've decided,
- 1:24Nanny. She must be in so much pain, the
- 1:27poor dear. She still scares me a little
- 1:30though. So now I'll be a young woman and
- 1:33she could kill me. Does she kill those who love her
- 1:37of? Course not.
- 1:39That makes me feel better because I love her.
- 1:42But what about Martha? Would she be in danger?
- 1:47Your sister is with your mother, so do not worry.
- 1:51Do you miss them? No, I mean, yes, I miss Martha a
- 1:56little, but I love spending time with you.
- 2:00Now go to sleep, little Sparrow, it's getting late.
- 2:04OK Nanny, I'll go to sleep and dream of the lady.
- 2:09Was she beautiful? She was beautiful, yes, very
- 2:14much. So, and she'll be beautiful in
- 2:16my dreams and will I be beautiful dressed like her?
- 2:20You'll be even more beautiful. Listen, Annie, since the lady
- 2:26won't harm me because I love her, and since you're not a
- 2:29young woman, could you tell me her story?
- 2:33Even if it's froggy outside, please.
- 2:36Oh, please. Then I'll sleep, I promise.
- 2:40Oh, all right, you always get your own way.
- 2:50I loved Nanny and I loved that story.
- 2:53Every time I heard it, it sounded like a new and more
- 2:56mesmerizing tale. Every night I would ask her to
- 3:00tell me about it, even though it scared me.
- 3:03Even now I can remember every single day of that time and how
- 3:07happy I was. According to an ancient legend,
- 3:18the lakes of the area are haunted by the spirit of a young
- 3:21woman who was killed by the man she loved.
- 3:30She was expecting a lover stroll by the lake, gazing out at the
- 3:34old tree growing on the lakes island.
- 3:42So much hope and desire, but death, not love, was awaiting
- 3:47her. In despair, the man confessed he
- 3:58had killed her out of jealousy, so he was hanged on the small
- 4:07island in the middle of the very same lake where he had killed
- 4:11the girl. They searched everywhere, but
- 4:19the girl's body was never found. Since then, her spirit, known as
- 4:29the White Lady, has been imprisoned in the depths of the
- 4:34lake. She grieves eternally for the
- 4:37loss of the man she loved. When fog arises, the White Lady
- 4:46is known to leave the waters of the lake and roam the woods,
- 4:51looking for her long lost love in vain.
- 4:55Within the fog of dawn, hunters have claimed to hear the wailing
- 5:00of a woman in the distance. Every time the sad memory of the
- 5:10night she perished stirs in her soul.
- 5:14She takes the life of a young woman by slaying such a life in
- 5:18its youth. Even just for an instant, the
- 5:22lady feels free from the burden of her pain.
- 5:35Good night, Nanny. Good.
- 5:37Night my. Love.
- 5:44I spent almost three years with the nanny, but when I came home
- 5:47I quickly forgot how to be happy.
- 5:50My memories did not return until 15 years later in 1944, when I
- 5:55stayed in that house. I enjoyed setting up cameras in
- 5:59the woods by the lake. My father created a device
- 6:02that's attached to the cameras. It would make them take pictures
- 6:06at set intervals. I was trying to photograph
- 6:09animals or whatever else was in that damned place.
- 7:17close the camera, load the film, activate the timer.
- 7:35Almost ready now to bring the image into focus.
- 7:45There's something floating on the surface of the water.
- 7:49If I frame it better, I might be able to see what it is.
- 8:21I was horrified at the idea that someone might have drowned in my
- 8:25lake. The lake was my world where I
- 8:29would spend entire days daydreaming.
- 8:32I would lose myself and my thoughts.
- 8:34But that was a rude awakening. So terrible.
- 9:25I instantly noticed that the person was wearing one of my
- 9:28dresses. I was scared.
- 9:31I dragged that lifeless body as best as I could to the shore,
- 9:35trying not to drown myself. Only when I lifted her in my
- 9:39arms did I realize who she was. It was my sister, my twin, A
- 9:45part of me, dead, impossible to comprehend.
- 9:49I was desperate. I didn't know what to do or to
- 9:52think. I have to stay calm.
- 10:04Martha is not dead. It's not possible.
- 10:13It's not true. There's no need to worry.
- 10:22Everything is fine. We have to stay calm.
- 10:37Martha. February 26th, 1923.
- 10:57What are you doing? Go Erie Run.
- 11:04My parents ran towards me. My mother hugged me.
- 11:08She who detested me was now cuddling me.
- 11:12Her warmth filled me with life and the pain became bearable.
- 11:16I felt protected. Martha, are you OK?
- 11:21She asked me, speaking slowly in order to let me read her lips.
- 11:26She thought I was deaf. She thought I was Martha.
- 11:31I didn't want the moment to fade, so I meekly nodded my
- 11:35head. I didn't realize I had done
- 11:38something that couldn't be undone.
- 11:44I would have to pretend to be Martha forever.
- 12:05O Lord, who gives life to the dying, let your sacrifice of
- 12:09love be offered for Martha's soul into your hands.
- 12:13I also entrust my spirit so that I may be reunited with her in
- 12:18perpetual light, to never suffer the desolation of purgatory.
- 12:22Please grant her eternal rest, O Lord, and may eternal light
- 12:26shine upon her. Did you remember to light the
- 12:34candles in the hall? People will be here soon.
- 12:39Mummy always finds something for everyone to do.
- 13:02July 17th, 1944. Our family is deeply saddened
- 13:07and is thinking of you during this extremely difficult time.

- 13:41Riding bikes around here is beautiful.
- 13:43These are mummy and daddy's bikes though.
- 13:46Mine is outside my dog's basket, or should I say the new dog's
- 13:56basket. I don't remember what happened
- 13:58to my first dog, but when I think of him I feel the spare
- 14:04daddy's canes. They are so beautiful but I
- 14:08can't say why but they have always scared me.
- 14:16The only way people could tell Martha and me apart was by
- 14:19dressing differently. Even mother couldn't tell us
- 14:21apart. This painter was a friend of
- 14:24Grandpa's. I always loved his paintings as
- 14:28a child I used to look at them for hours.
- 14:32Mummy and Daddy, they are the epitome of wealth and elegance,
- 14:38but pain pays no heed to money and style.
- 14:43I. Can't turn it off.
- 14:51We have to listen to the radio all of the time.
- 14:54Any news and announcements can be vital.
- 15:01There's no reason to use the phone right now.

- 18:21What? Yes, I must have fallen asleep.
- 18:30What are they talking about? You can't stay here forever.
- 18:35Why don't you go to bed? No, no, I want to stay with my
- 18:40daughter. Your.
- 18:41Daughter. Your daughter.
- 18:44You have another daughter. You know, the one who's still
- 18:46alive, remember? What are you talking about?
- 18:50Irena Julia is dead. What kind of command is that?
- 18:57How can you? You should be thinking about
- 18:59Martha. Julia harmed Martha, you know
- 19:02that, right? And as if that were not enough,
- 19:04she has now also abandoned her. It's the same old story.
- 19:10Everything is always Julia's fault.
- 19:13Isn't it her fault for Martha being deaf and for you being
- 19:19infertile? Do you think it's the right time
- 19:24for this? Julia is dead.
- 19:28Irena dead. Someone killed her.
- 19:33Do you realize that of? Course, I realize.
- 19:37I get it. Do you think I'm stupid?
- 19:40No one understands it better than me.
- 19:42She always brought problems. Only problems.
- 19:45It would have been better if she hadn't been born at all.
- 19:48You're crazy. I'm the crazy one me.
- 20:03They have done this to get at me.
- 20:05Yes. Your death is all my fault.
- 20:09All I could ever do for you was hurt you.
- 20:12Julia, my poor, sweet, crazy girl.
- 20:19What will I do without you? What will life be like now?
- 20:27All the time I didn't spend with you, but now I'm home.
- 20:34We can go fishing together. We can take pictures of
- 20:38butterflies. No.
- 20:43We can't do anything together anymore, can we?
- 20:48Nothing. I miss you, Julia.

- 21:15murdered near her home. What possible reason could there
- 21:18have been behind such a cowardly egg?
- 21:20This is what the carabinieri, who immediately intervened,
- 21:24hoped to find out.
