dov'erano

Dov'erano i vostri genitori?

Where were your parents?

Dov'erano i tuoi figli?

Where were your children?

Mandare in galera gli assassini non è che mandarli dov'erano già diretti.

Sending murderers to prison is just sending them where they were already headed.

— Mystic River (2003)

E dov'erano nascoste?

And where were they hidden?

— I sette samurai (1954)

Dov'erano tutti?

Where was everyone?

Dov'erano i ragazzi?

Where were the boys?

— Léon (1994)
