Italian term

Sta a noi districarci da soli in quella scena di violenza.

Italian to English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama description of play storyline together with director's notes
La cronaca ci aggredisce ogni giorno con le sue notizie offensive. Uno studente lancia una bottiglia di acido solforico in faccia a una compagna di università che non ha accettato la sua proposta di matrimonio. La sfigura e le brucia gli occhi. Sta a noi districarci da soli in quella scena di violenza.

I was thinking of something along the lines of:
It's up to us (alone) to try to understand what really happened in that scene of violence...any improvements?
Thanks in advance.
