Hold on. I've got to send a video to Kelsey.

Do you love her?

None of your business.

Aren’t you tired of sending messages to her and not getting an answer?

How do you know I haven’t gotten a response?

Ok, fine. I haven’t heard from her.

She probably just has bad Internet.

If it weren’t for Kelsey I’d still be living in my mom’s basement.

And now you live in my room.

Ok, Kelsey. Last video.

You better answer this time.

Kelsey, you have no idea how excited I am today.

Today marks my one year anniversary at my site.

I’m sure they’re going to make a big deal about it.

I just feel like I’ve contributed so much to the school and to the community here.

Can you believe it?

Me, Mr. Irresponsibility.

And, even more importantly, my family now trusts me to take care of the chickens.

Here chicky, chicky, chicky.

Come to Papa Diego and eat your breakfast.

Look at them.

They'ro so quiet and so hungry and so fat.

You're a quick little guy.

You're so weird.

Love you too!

Love who?

Hello?

Yes of course.

They’ll be thrilled.

I’ll let them know.

Who was that? - Peace Corps.

Yana, Lucia and I have been selected for a gender sensitivity training.

I guess they did not invite me because I am already sensitive?

What are you? Sensitive?

The training is in Chisinau?

Yeah, there’s some “famous” volunteer coming from Cambodia.

Mr. Sensitivity, go and get me those eggs. I need to make breakfast.

You see? Sensitive.

Yeah, sensitive.

You’ll be one of the first people we train when we come back.

And she has no answer at all.

But I approach her more and more, And I talk, and I give her advice.

She defends herself with one hand And she always looks elsewhere.

When I put my arm on her waist,

She is bending, wants to escape, But I always pull her at me,

Closer to me, closer to me.

When I put my arm on her waist,

Diego, Ms Ludmila wants to talk to us.

Are you excited about the training at Chisinau?

Yeah, I have some relatives in the city to see, I want to go shopping,

and of course I’m excited for the training.

Leave that. We have to go. She's waiting for us.

Let's go.

Diego, congratulations to you and your team.

My team? - Here they are.

It is amazing that Peace Corps has chosen us for this training.

Oh yes.

I want to congratulate you on completing your first school year.

You will be back to teach next year, right?

Actually, my Peace Corps service is for two years.

We still have a lot of work to do to make this school great.

Understand?

Yes, I will be back.

This has become my home.

Good luck at the workshop. I hope you can make us proud.

And don't forget, see you in the fall.

Come on, go.

This is so cool.

I think I'm feeling kind of hungry.

I think we can stop somewhere, look.

Thank you.

Here? - Yes.

Good night.

See you tomorrow.

Bye, bye.

Hi Kelsey!

I’m here in Chisinau doing a gender roles training.

You always said I was a sexist. No longer.

My student, Yana says that I am the most

supportive when it comes to girls in my class.

I’m sure you'd enjoy this training. It always

was something you were passionate about.

Most importantly, look at this room.

Nice mirrors. Look at this tub.

Also, look at the bathroom.

Not that one. This is the toilet.

Is that for everyone?

I’m so happy it isn’t kasha.

Diego, isn't that...?

Oh, shit.

Watch your language.

Have you seen Diego? - Welcome everyone.

We are so glad to see you all here today.

We're just waiting for a few more people and for my computer to be delivered.

Sorry I’m late.

Let’s take a five minute break.

We need to hook up the computer and clean up.

- How’s it going? - Hi. What are you doing here?

Me? This is my Peace Corps country.

Peace Corps? You?

I know, right?

I guess you haven't been getting my videos?

Videos? I saw something, but...

I couldn’t open them. The Internet in Cambodia is crap.

And then my computer got destroyed in the rainy season and I just got it fixed here.

But, that’s not important. How weird to see you here? You look great.

Yeah, it’s weird... I mean you too... Look good.

- Kelsey... - I have to go get my presentation ready.

But let’s catch up later, ok?

Ok. Sure. - Sorry.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Hello. - Thank you all for coming.

We finally got my computer fixed.

It hasn’t worked right since it got waterlogged

in the last rainy season in Cambodia.

I'd like to present some findings in order to kick off our training...

But, surprise! I'm in Peace Corps.

I just arrived at my site in this small village in Moldova.

And the food...

Look at this watermelon.

So good.

Oh, shit. Light's cut out.

Sorry about that.

Great videos Mr Diego.

What a day.

The director finally came into my classroom.

She was blown away.

It was so rewarding.

My Romanian teacher...

We are sorry.

Coffee break...

Thank you.

Mr Diego, do you know that coffee is bad for kids?

You said it's bad for you.

That doesn’t mean I don’t drink it.

So...

Do you like teaching here?

Yes, I like it.

You seem lost in thought.

It's strange...

I never thought I’d end up liking my life here.

But...

If it wasn't for her,

I never would've joined Peace Corps in the first place.

Listen.

We, your friends, are supporting you in everything.

Sure. Friends.

Come on.

Hai!

Come on, let's go.

Good luck.

Can I join you? - Of course.

So, that was awkward, right?

Those videos were amazing. Were they all for me?

Look, I’m sorry I left you like I did.

I needed something more.

And Dave did not just talk about changing the world. He acted.

Let’s not talk about Dave.

He was a jerk anyway. He ditched me the first chance he got.

He was always a “free spirit”.

The old Diego would never have said that.

Guess I’ve changed, a little bit.

She seems nice. - Yeah, she is.

I miss our time together.

We were friends for longer that we were boyfriend and girlfriend.

Do you remember that time when we made pasta together?

I think that was our first “date”.

Yeah. Of course.

I even made your spaghetti sauce recipe to impress my host family.

That was not my recipe. I downloaded it from some website.

Really? I thought it was your grandmother’s recipe.

It seems like so long ago... like a different life.

Well, seeing you, it doesn’t seem like it was that long ago.

Really?

Yeah, I think it could be easy to pick up where we left off.

You’re joking right?

Well, I don’t know. Maybe I am.

But it’s nice to think about.

Sure.

Nice fantasy.

Or, maybe it doesn’t have to be a fantasy.

First of all, "Kosmos" is about the self awarness of humanity.

From the first visual contact,

to the interstellar travel.

Should we start our adventure with a Melange Rouge?

Great training guys. I learned so much out there.

Thanks.

Okay. I'm going for a walk before we leave.

Look, Diego,

I was thinking of extending a third year in Peace Corps. I have a choice of sites.

So, I was thinking - Moldova.

Moldova? - Yeah, I need a change.

I’ve met some amazing people here.

And the country director is really

supportive of the girls education initiative.

Well, and then there’s you.

Me? I thought that was a fantasy?

No fantasy. After seeing those videos and then talking to you,

I realize how much I miss you... and us.

I messed up. I’d like to try again.

I thought you’d be more excited.

I am! Oh god, this...

This feels like a dream.

Are you serious?

Very. I know you’ve made a life here.

But I know I could make it better.

Well yes... yeah.

Do you mind? Can I have some time to think about it?

Don’t take too long. I need to give Peace Corps an answer next week.

Yeah, I’ll let you know soon.

Well, I’m sure you’ll make the right decision.

To us? - To us.

Do you want to go for a walk?

Why not?

I'm really happy for them.

Really?

Hello.

Bon appetit. - Thank you.

Thanks so much for the great time last night. Let’s stay in touch.

Farewell.

What?

We just walked and talked. Nothing happened.

Why don’t you tell him you like him?

- I told you nothing happened. - Not him. Mr Diego.

Like him? - Of course.

Diego? - Yeah, you know...

Like boyfriend and girlfriend.

Yana, stop with your teenage romance fantasies.

We’re just friends, colleagues, end of the line.

Whatever you say, Miss Lucia.

- Oh, back already? - Not too soon it seems.

They have to be coaxed, you can't force them.

Now you're the expert.

I guess I am. Give me a second, let me put my stuff down, I'll show you how it's done.

I'll wait for you.

Hey Kelsey...
