Short filmTranscript
00:07Sicily's Mafia follows a brutal tradition called The Claiming.
00:12It demands the groom steal his bride away at midnight, fighting for the family's guards to prove his power and
00:17right to her.
00:19I waited three years for Dominic. At last, he and his men slipped into my courtyard for my stepsister.
00:26I heard him outside the door. Grab Bianca in the chaos. She's fragile.
00:31If she's sold off to the Don of the Valentino family to settle the debt, she won't survive the night.
00:36As for Elena, she'll fight like hell. She'll keep herself safe.
00:41Dominic, you and Elena are already married. If she finds out, she'll burn this place to the ground.
00:46Let her. It's dark enough. A case of mistaken identity will be explained. I'll calm her down later.
00:51Besides, the marriage license she signed was a forgery. I promised Bianca a safe life in Palermo. She's my priority.
00:58I heard every word from behind the door.
01:01I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I just slipped back into the room.
01:06They'd expected me to fight, to hurt anyone who tried to take me.
01:10Instead, I silently climbed onto the back of the man and became his bride.
01:19Elena, I contact at the registry checked. You aren't actually Dominic's legal wife.
01:23I put down the phone. I'd lived as Dominic's wife for five years.
01:27All that time, the Russo family never accepted me, because I didn't follow their traditions.
01:32His mother never used my name, only ever referring to me as that girl.
01:36At Family Gallus, I was always seated at the farthest table.
01:39In official portraits, I was placed at the edge so I could be easily cropped out.
01:46Dominic said his mother wouldn't let up until I broke, so he sent me back to the Meridi estate.
01:52He swore to finish the formal claiming ritual, to take me as his Donna.
01:56Then the Russo family would have no choice but to accept me.
01:59I waited. For three years, I'd held my tongue, longing for this night.
02:04But he'd come for another woman.
02:06He'd kept me deceived for years with a forged marriage license, all to hide the truth.
02:11The one he'd truly meant to claim was my half-sister, Bianca.
02:14I stared at my reflection. My face was empty.
02:18Shouts exploded in the courtyard.
02:20The ritual had begun.
02:21Laughter rang out, boots thudded against stone, and guards put on a show of resisting.
02:26Ritual torches painted half the sky red.
02:28All the excitement was for them.
02:30The celebration was for Bianca.
02:33The other group of men had come from the Valentino family.
02:36They'd originally come for Bianca.
02:37By the rules of the ritual, if a woman didn't want to be taken, she could hide and send them
02:42away empty-handed.
02:43But Bianca didn't hide.
02:44She waited in her room to be taken.
02:47And the man she waited for was my husband.
02:49The room I was in wasn't mine.
02:51It was Bianca's.
02:53That afternoon, my stepmother pulled me aside.
02:56Elena, stay in Bianca's room tonight.
02:58Yours is too far back, too quiet, they'll never find you.
03:02The men coming for Bianca are savages.
03:05You've always been tough.
03:06You can handle the rough play.
03:08Bianca is fragile.
03:09If she gets caught in the crossfire, it'll be a disaster.
03:12I said nothing.
03:13I knew exactly what she meant.
03:15By the rules of the claiming, the groom's men would storm in.
03:19The woman was expected to fight and struggle.
03:22It was called the gauntlet.
03:24The harder she fought, the more valuable she was considered.
03:27The groom had to prove he could take her by force.
03:30Those punches and shoves were real.
03:33My stepmother studied my face.
03:35Testing me.
03:37Besides, Dominic has never been to the Moretti estate at night.
03:40The front room, he'll find you faster.
03:42Back then, I'd only wanted to make things easier for Dominic.
03:46I agreed.
03:47I even texted him my room location.
03:49But they'd been planning this switch all along.
03:53A roar of celebration erupted outside.
03:58Laughter and cheering rang out.
04:00Followed by the sharp crack of celebratory gunfire.
04:02I listened but didn't move.
04:04I knew exactly who they'd taken.
04:06I could picture Dominic carrying Bianca through the crowd.
04:09His men shielding them as guests hurled objects and blocked their path.
04:12Bianca would hide her face against his back, pretending to struggle.
04:16How perfect.
04:16I lowered my gaze.
04:18Moments later, my door was kicked in.
04:20A group of men flooded into the dark room, their footsteps heavy and chaotic.
04:25Sumonone seized my arm.
04:26Hands began shoving and striking me.
04:28I felt fists slam into my shoulders and back.
04:31This was the gauntlet.
04:32The harder the beating, the more the family valued the bride.
04:35I didn't flinch or resist.
04:36I let them yank me from my chair and drag me toward the door.
04:40At first, it felt like a formality.
04:42But the violence quickly turned ugly.
04:44Sumonone slammed my arm against the stone wall.
04:46Fists began hammering my ribs with real cruel force.
04:49This was intentional.
04:51The pain was excruciating, but I didn't make a sound.
04:54I finally understood what my stepmother had meant by calling me tough.
04:58Just when I thought it would never end, someone stepped in to shield me.
05:01Enough!
05:02It was a stranger's voice, sharp with fury.
05:04He blocked the others, shoving the attacker's back with his arms.
05:08That's the way it works.
05:09The harder we hit, the more she's worth.
05:13What rule?
05:14His voice dropped to a dangerous brow.
05:16This isn't your wife!
05:18If someone was beating your woman like a dog, would you just stand there and watch?
05:22The room went silent.
05:23He glanced back at me.
05:25In the shadows, I could only make out the sharp line of his jaw.
05:28Then he bent down and hoisted me onto his back.
05:30Who is he?
05:31He's taking this ritual way too seriously.
05:34He carried me out in long, steady strides.
05:36People chased after us, throwing things and blocking the way.
05:39But his grip on my legs never wavered.
05:41When he finally carried me out of my private courtyard, he paused to catch his breath.
05:45In the distance, the faint glow of ritual torches moved.
05:49That was the other group.
05:50Through the bushes I heard their laughter.
05:52Dominic was at the front.
05:54Sweat soaked but wearing a triumphant smile.
05:57Bianca was on his back, her arms wrapped tight around his neck.
06:01His men were cheering.
06:07I lay silent on the stranger's back as they drew near.
06:12Torchlight flickered across my face.
06:14Dominic's eyes flicked over me for a split second.
06:17Then his gaze moved on, turning back to his men as he joked and laughed.
06:21He didn't recognize me.
06:23Bianca whispered something in his ear, and he leaned in with a soft smile.
06:27I suddenly thought back to three years ago.
06:32When I'd returned to the Meridi estate to visit my father, and stayed for a while.
06:36The first time Dominic came to find me there, he'd worn that exact same smile.
06:41That day my father's men put him to the test.
06:43They blocked him at the gates and roughed him up, just to see if a Russo truly cared for
06:47a Meridi girl.
06:48He'd shown up at my door with a split lip and bruised ribs.
06:51I asked if it hurt.
06:53He grinned through the blood.
06:55For my wife, I'd take a lot worse.
06:58He was a spoiled Russo heir who'd never been hurt before.
07:01Yet he'd taken a beating from my father's men, just for me.
07:05He always acted like it was nothing.
07:06But I knew the truth.
07:08My father's men didn't go easy on outsiders.
07:10Another time, it poured rain.
07:13He showed up soaked to the bone, his shirt torn, but the pastries tucked inside his jacket
07:17were still dry.
07:18I called him an idiot for coming out in weather like that.
07:21He pushed the pastries into my hands, smiling.
07:24Didn't want you to wait too long.
07:25I held those pastries, staring at the cut on his cheek, and thought this is the man I'll
07:29spend my life with.
07:30But now, he carried Bianca with that exact same smile.
07:34My vision blurred for a second, then sharpened again.
07:37When did it all start to change?
07:39Probably three years ago when my father died.
07:41I felt completely hollow inside.
07:42Dominic cancelled everything to stay at the Meridi estate with me for two weeks.
07:46The day he had to leave, he took my hand and spoke softly.
07:49Elena, you just got through the funeral and you look awful.
07:52If my mother sees you like this, she'll start on you again.
07:54I don't want you putting up with that.
07:56Just stay here at the estate and rest.
07:59You've always wanted to take over the family business, right?
08:02I'll go back and smooth things over at home, then come get you.
08:05I looked at him and nodded.
08:06I was truly exhausted from the constant fighting with his mother.
08:09Back then, I believed he was looking out for me, that he didn't want me to go back
08:13and face those cold stares.
08:14Only later did I realize.
08:16Distance doesn't create beauty.
08:17It just makes it easier for him to love someone else.
08:21Last year when Mrs. Russo turned 60, Dominic came to bring me back.
08:25The moment I stepped inside, I saw my stepsister Bianca.
08:28She was supposed to be in Palermo for work.
08:31But there she was in the living room, arranging fruit, her movements smooth and familiar.
08:35Dominic paused while taking off his shoes and explained.
08:39Bianca's workplace is near our house.
08:41She's staying here temporarily.
08:43There wasn't a trace of guilt in his voice, and I didn't push for more.
08:48My stepmother had married into the Moretti family long after Bianca and I were grown.
08:52We'd never been close.
08:53Over the years, we'd only seen each other during holidays.
08:56I couldn't quite put into words how I felt about her staying there.
09:00When Bianca saw me walk in, she called out warmly.
09:03Hey sis!
09:04Don't worry, I'm just crashing here for a bit.
09:06I'll move out once I find a place.
09:08I nodded, but said nothing.
09:11Back then, I never could have imagined.
09:13For three years, I waited alone in the empty Meridia state.
09:17And all that time, my little sister had been working in the Russo house.
09:22Now, watching Bianca on Dominic's back, it all suddenly clicked.
09:26I hadn't been waiting for him to bring me home at all.
09:28I'd been waiting for my heart to die.
09:31What about Elena?
09:32If she finds out, she'll lose it.
09:34Dominic sounded confident.
09:36She's all bark and no bite.
09:39She'll get over it after throwing a fit.
09:41He paused, his voice lowering.
09:44It's pitch black during the claiming.
09:46I just made a mistake.
09:48She'll feel sorry for me before she even gets angry.
09:52When she finds out, I'll just smooth it over.
09:55Bianca laughed softly.
09:57My knuckles whitened.
09:59Capo, what if someone else claimed Elena?
10:01The group felt quiet.
10:03Then Dominic laughed.
10:04You think she'll let anyone take her without a fight?
10:06With that temper of hers, she'll tear the place apart tonight.
10:09True.
10:10No way Elena goes quietly.
10:11Feels sorry for that poor bastard.
10:14Wonder what he looks like now.
10:16The laughter swelled.
10:17I looked down.
10:21Let's go.
10:23He must have heard everything.
10:25Heard them laughing about me.
10:26Heard how they thought I'd tear the roof off.
10:28But he said nothing.
10:30He just kept walking.
10:32At the gate of the Meridia State, we ran straight into them.
10:35Torchlight flickered over us.
10:37Simone from the other side called out.
10:39Luca?
10:40His steps halted.
10:41A quiet.
10:43Yeah.
10:44Dominic moved closer with Bianca.
10:45On his back, grinning.
10:47It really is you.
10:48You claiming someone tonight too?
10:51Yeah.
10:52Which family?
10:52Dominic's eyes flicked to me.
10:54I buried my face in Luca's shoulder, showing only the back of my head.
10:58A neighbor family.
10:59Dominic stared at me a moment longer, then laughed.
11:02Damn man.
11:03I always figured you'd stay single forever.
11:05Congratsits.
11:06Luca just grunted.
11:08Dominic took a step forward.
11:09I felt his gaze linger on my back.
11:13That look lasted too long.
11:15Long enough.
11:16I almost thought he'd recognized me.
11:20Let's go.
11:21Luca said suddenly, stepping forward.
11:23Wait!
11:24Dominic frowned.
11:26He was about to speak.
11:27Bianca's voice cut in, soft and pained.
11:29Dominic, my ankle hurts.
11:31What's wrong?
11:32Did you twist it earlier?
11:33Dominic turned at once.
11:35I don't know.
11:36It just aches.
11:38Let's go.
11:39We need to get to your place before sunrise.
11:41Dominic didn't waste another second.
11:42He nodded at Luca.
11:44Gotta run.
11:45I'll buy you a drink next time.
11:47Their footsteps faded into the distance.
11:51He really didn't recognize you.
11:54I rested my face against his shoulder and said nothing.
11:58My eyes stung, but I didn't cry.
12:01He seemed to sense it.
12:03His pace slowed, steps gentle and steady.
12:06The moon was bright.
12:07The road stretched on.
12:09I had no idea where he was taking me, but in that moment I thought.
12:12Anywhere was better than going back.
12:16Music filled the Russo Estate Hall.
12:18The whole place buzzed with celebration.
12:20Wine flowed freely, and couples danced to old songs.
12:23This was the party after a successful claiming.
12:25By tradition, it would last until sunrise.
12:28Dominic sat at the edge of the crowd, phone in hand.
12:31The screen lit up, went dark, then lit again.
12:33No messages from Elena.
12:34That wasn't like her.
12:35She never kept things bottled up.
12:37If she'd found out he'd claimed the wrong woman,
12:39she would have called screaming by now.
12:41He already had his excuses ready.
12:43It was pitch black.
12:44Don't overthink it.
12:45You're the only one I want.
12:46But this time, no call, no text, no yelling.
12:49Capo, still starring at your phone?
12:51Waiting on Elena?
12:52Don't bother.
12:53Signal shit out here.
12:54Her area gets fine signal.
12:56Then her phone's probably dead.
12:58Or she didn't see it.
12:58She's probably off beating someone up right now.
13:01Elena had once told him,
13:02I set a special ringtone for your messages.
13:05Don't want to miss him.
13:06She'd sit out in the courtyard till midnight,
13:08just waiting for him to call.
13:10He didn't believe she didn't see it,
13:12but he had no better explanation.
13:16All right, quit overthinking.
13:18This is your big night.
13:19Your bride's waiting for you.
13:20What are you doing sitting here?
13:21Tradition says once you've claimed her,
13:23you stay with her all night.
13:24Finish the ritual.
13:25I told Bianca this was temporary.
13:27I just got her out of there.
13:28I didn't plan on-
13:29Didn't plan on what?
13:30Capo, this is the claiming.
13:31Not a game.
13:32You took her, you finish it.
13:33Otherwise, you insult her whole family.
13:35Besides, you and Elena have been together for years.
13:37She won't care about formalities.
13:39Just get through tonight.
13:41Dominic opened his mouth to argue.
13:42What are you guys talking about?
13:44Bianca's voice softened,
13:45laced with a hint of hurt.
13:46Dominic, in our tradition,
13:49the claiming only happens once in a lifetime.
13:52I know this one's fake,
13:53but can we at least finish the ritual?
13:56I know you love Elena.
13:58She said, her voice dropping to a whisper.
14:01But just for tonight,
14:03can you pretend I'm your bride?
14:06Just tonight.
14:08Dominic said nothing.
14:09Bianca bowed her head.
14:11Her lashes fluttering.
14:13Close the light!
14:15Close the bride!
14:16Dominic picked up his glass,
14:17linking arms with Bianca.
14:19Firelight danced across both their faces.
14:21Cheers and laughter erupted around them.
14:23Loud enough to rattle the walls, he drank.
14:25But his eyes kept straying to the dark road beyond the estate.
14:29The same road he'd carried Bianca down tonight.
14:31At the gate, he'd run into Luca Santoro.
14:33They'd met years ago at some family party.
14:35They'd had a few drinks together.
14:39Acquaintances at best.
14:40That man had been quiet but steady.
14:42The kind of man you could trust with your life.
14:44Tonight Luca had been carrying someone too,
14:47said she was from another family.
14:48She'd been thin, lying quietly on Luca's back.
14:51Only a glimpse of her neck was visible.
14:53The line of that neck, the curve of her bowed head.
14:55It had felt strangely familiar.
14:57But Bianca had cried out in pain,
14:59so he hadn't looked again.
15:01Now thinking back that silhouette, Dominic.
15:07Dominic?
15:08Is that okay?
15:10Yeah.
15:11He nodded, distracted.
15:12Then he stepped aside,
15:13pulled out his phone,
15:14and dialed Elena's number.
15:16He needed to explain.
15:17He needed to make sure she didn't misunderstand.
15:30Finally, someone picked up.
15:33Hello?
15:33Let me talk to Elena.
15:35Elena?
15:37The woman paused,
15:38said something to someone nearby,
15:40then came back.
15:41She's not here.
15:42We're packing up her stuff to send over.
15:45Send over?
15:46Send where?
15:52Dominic's grip tightened on the phone.
15:54Elena never lets her phone leave her hand.
15:56Where are you sending her things?
15:58The woman on the other end hesitated,
16:01not expecting the question.
16:03I'm Elena's aunt.
16:05We have to pack her things
16:06and send them to her husband's house.
16:08Husband's house?
16:09He paused,
16:10so Elena was preparing to move back in with him.
16:12Auntie, about the claiming tonight...
16:14Dominic's throat moved.
16:15There was a bit of a mix-up.
16:17Feeling a bit guilty.
16:18Did Elena say anything?
16:19No.
16:20Several families did claimings tonight.
16:22What would Elena have to say?
16:23Despite the words,
16:25a sense of unease surged in him.
16:27Just as he was about to ask more,
16:29the aunt interrupted him hurriedly.
16:32Oh, I can't talk anymore.
16:34We're busy packing.
16:35Both Elena and Bianca were taken tonight.
16:37We have to get their things ready.
16:39Dominic froze.
16:43Dominic froze.
16:44What did she mean, both were taken?
16:48Didn't he only take Bianca?
16:50As for Elena,
16:51she would never go with someone she didn't love.
16:53He gripped the phone.
16:54Auntie,
16:55you said Elena was taken?
16:57Yes, by the Santorati family.
17:00Dominic's throat tightened.
17:01He couldn't speak.
17:02He suddenly remembered something.
17:04And his mind exploded, Santoro.
17:06Luca,
17:06the man he met at the gate,
17:07the one carrying a girl saying she was his bride.
17:10That silhouette that looks so familiar.
17:13Elena,
17:14she didn't fight?
17:15Fight?
17:15Why would she?
17:16Acclaiming isn't a bad thing.
17:18She was as quiet as could be.
17:19She just went with him.
17:20We all thought it was strange.
17:22With her temper,
17:24shouldn't she have beaten the man?
17:25But nothing happened.
17:26She just let him carry her away.
17:28Dominic's hand began to shake.
17:29Quiet as could be.
17:30Just let him carry her away.
17:32No fight.
17:33No curse.
17:34No resistance.
17:35No.
17:35That wasn't Elena.
17:36That wasn't the Elena he knew.
17:39He remembered talking to Elena about claimings before.
17:41She had sat on his doorstep,
17:43swinging her legs,
17:44speaking excitedly.
17:45The girls in Moretti family,
17:46if they're claimed by someone they don't like,
17:49they don't just let them.
17:50They kick,
17:51fight,
17:51and scratch.
17:53They fight until the man gives up himself.
17:55He had teased her then.
17:56You're so wild.
17:58Who would dare claim you?
18:00She had rolled her eyes.
18:01Her chin held high.
18:02Well, it depends on who's coming.
18:03If it's you,
18:04she had stopped suddenly,
18:05her face flushing as she turned away.
18:08Anyway, if it's you,
18:09I'd just put on a show of struggling a little,
18:12for appearances.
18:13Teased her just a little.
18:14Just a little?
18:16Three times at most,
18:18she glared at him,
18:19then laughed,
18:20her eyes bright like mountain stars.
18:23If you came to claim me,
18:25I'd probably be the first to jump on your back
18:26so you wouldn't have to take those hits.
18:29He had thought then,
18:30this girl is so foolish.
18:33Auntie,
18:35when was she taken?
18:36Tonight,
18:37right after you left.
18:38Dominic opened his mouth,
18:39but not a single word came out.
18:41Hello?
18:42Hello?
18:43Dominic?
18:44Are you still there?
18:45I'm here.
18:46Why are you asking so much?
18:48Elena's husband will take care of her.
18:50You claimed Bianca tonight,
18:52didn't you?
18:53That poor girl's had it rough.
18:55Take good care of her.
18:57All right,
18:58I have to go.
19:00We're still packing.
19:02Elena left in such a hurry,
19:04she forgot so many things.
19:06We have to get them to her.
19:07Bye now.
19:08The dial tone rang in his ears,
19:11a steady hammering sound,
19:12over and over.
19:13He stood at the edge of the crowd,
19:15white-knuckling his phone.
19:16Around him were songs,
19:17laughter,
19:18music,
19:18all the noise of celebration.
19:21Simone shoved a drink into his hand,
19:22tugging him toward the dance floor.
19:25Bianca waved at him from across the fire,
19:27a soft smile on her face.
19:28But he couldn't hear a thing.
19:30While he'd been carrying Bianca away,
19:32Elena had been lying on another man's back.
19:34They had passed each other in the dark.
19:36He'd thought she would fight,
19:37scream,
19:38resist,
19:39but she did nothing.
