I have before me an image of you on set analysing Cesareanis character with passion.
You loved playing him and we had even begun to plan a prequel film about the Cardinal.
Everywhere you went on set, in the hotel, there was laughter all around.
In just a moment we all fell under the spell of your overwhelming vitality.
You were adored by everybody.
It was an honour to make a film with you.
Your last line in the film was, I shall be with you!
Ive got your message.
I promise you, thats how it will be.
