With another Earth, I'd wait for the day deniers say:

See? Just a natural cycle, and now it's over!

But what if it wasn't?

Everything burns.

It's always been there? What does that mean?

Earthquakes have always been there too,

but what do you do when one hits?

You try to save yourself.

Your instinct guides you towards safety.

Because evolution taught
you to fear the shaking earth.

Or, think of forest fires,

Sure, 2% are natural, I'll give you that.

But when you have to escape, you run

You wouldn't let yourself be roasted

just because lightning was the cause.

It's called survival instinct.

Now, apply this to global warming.

Why does instinct have no effect here?

Even assuming it's natural,

your reaction still seems
illogical. You're not moving,

living as if nothing were happening.

Now you're even blaming the sun

as if it were dying.

Instead of admitting your mistake,

you'd prefer a catastrophe

one without any way out.

Luckily, it hasn't come to that yet.

But it's no less disturbing.

What's worse: nature gone mad or idiots who can't get it?

What a dilemma!

Do you understand now why I'm here?

I must help, or you won't get it.

Actually, I know you never will.

But for a few weeks, you're no danger to anyone.

You're a ticking bomb

and bombs need to be defused!

By now we're used to the usual Monday comments,

always punctual and always the same.

Why are you still listening to de Sanctis?

Everyone asks us. Every week, we do this:

we analyze the comments, then we create a playlist

of the harshest ones.

Not easy, with nearly ten thousand interactions.

Since people are talking about it,

today we'll hear the opinion of an expert:

Professor Vito Toscanelli

Good evening, Professor.

Good evening to you.

Professor, as you know,

we'll have De Sanctis on the line in an hour.

We want to use this preview

to understand the reasons behind her popularity.

Of course, there isn't just one explanation.

Just look at her life to understand who she is.

She started in politics,

but she wasn’t suited for it,

so she switched to environmentalism.

She finally found her place

thanks to her eccentric character.

Just a moment, you mentioned her political past.

How do you judge her failure in that area?

Politics is not for those who lack balance,

and she took everything too far.

Very comprehensive.

So let's try to answer the question of the questions.

Why does the public still
follow her pessimistic content?

Does the public really care about her content?

Well, I don't know. It still remains science.

What science? If it were really science.

We would be here commenting on the work of experts,

not someone who doesn't
even have a university degree.

- Help me understand better.
- Cornelia De Sanctis is popular

because she represents the number one enemy.

The number one enemy?

Of course.

We live in a classist society.

And classist societies impose role models.

From birth we are bombarded with the idea of success,

but there comes a point for everyone,

when you have to face reality.

Did I make it? Did I not make it?

Naturally, for many, the answer is no.

And this is where the dilemma arises.

What kind of relationship do I want

with those who have made it?

Factions emerge: some show
fanatical admiration for them,

and others blame them for every ill in the world.

But this is the game.

Cornelia is liked for her incredible talent,

in making herself hated.

What's left of her environmentalist message?

Nothing.

And deep down I think she knows that too.

Last question: Would you go to dinner with her?

Not even if she begged.

Hi, I'm Cornelia! How are you?

How long since we last spoke?

Since I didn't feel like calling you back.

So, is there a serious reason you called tonight?

Let's say so, though maybe you don't care.

Can you tell me what this is about, please?

You don't seem very happy to hear from me.

Look, you didn't even ask if I felt like talking,

and I'm working tomorrow, so I want to rest.

I almost forgot. Sorry, I'll hang up right away.

Cut it out and just tell me why you called?

You know, before going on air, I always

call someone I know I'll argue with.

I was scrolling my contacts and your name appeared.

Hello?

I swear, I was about to block you,

but then I remembered how you are,

and maybe there was something behind it.

You've got a good memory.

Why did you call tonight?

I've got a problem with Milva and no one to turn to.

I'm not a pediatrician, I can't help you.

You call me back, then you try to ditch me?

Sorry, how can you expect all this attention from me?

You can always pretend that time hasn't passed.

Fine. I'm only doing this because you need to talk.

But don't push me again, or I'm out.

Ok, I'll take advantage of the situation.

What's going on with Milva?

She hasn't been herself lately.

Still going on about the climate thing?

How did you guess?

She's your daughter. It wasn't hard to guess.

You really remember everything.

Can you get to the point, please?

She showed a kind of extremism
I didn't expect from her.

She's probably struggling with your presence.

I never forced her, if that’s what you mean.

I'm not talking about that.

Maybe she wants to handle this on her own,

without you telling her what to do.

I don't know.

We started this fight together,

but the spirit has changed.

Are you sure your views still align with hers?

I've already told you I never forced her.

I'm not talking about that, but the exact opposite.

What do you mean?

You just don't like living with someone who cares.

You think I'm not worried?

Let's say worrying is your way of caring.

That bothers you.

Your daughter isn't just
some girl painting her nails.

Sorry, I don't follow.

Think I haven't seen you on
TV spewing that alarmist crap,

smiling like it doesn't concern you?

You never miss a chance to show off your book,

right beside a sponsor.

Are you calling me a hypocrite?

Maybe. I think I know how it went.

You did everything to make
sure your name was recognized,

and blame her for it.

But your daughter ruined your
plans, rejecting your media circus.

I'm getting interested.

To you, a rebellious daughter is inconvenient.

You'd be the one taking
pictures of her butt every minutes,

dreaming of being an influencer,
or flaunting her stupidity,

because that’s how women build careers, right?

And instead, what a stroke of bad luck,

you got someone serious.

I saw what she did.

- Really? - You know very well

she appears on TV at least as much as you do.

Well, here I thought I'd have to explain so much to you.

Now it turns out you already know everything,

and I bet you couldn't wait to throw it back at me, right?

There are plenty of people
out there who think the same.

So, you're judging me based
on other people’s opinions?

No, no, I think the same,

I just told you that.

You're just someone who wants attention.

Maybe I hoped you'd stay out of all this.

So you could call me for comfort,

where I'd pretend to ignore what you've become?

Apparently things didn't go as I hoped.

Good. Go back to your little projects,

the ones you’re so proud of being who you are.

So, this is how it ends?

Don't you want to give me one last pearl of wisdom?

If your daughter is worried, it’s because

there's nothing to be happy about.

Be proud of that, instead of complaining.

If you're not back, don't wait for me.

- Cornelia, are you there? - Yes, I am.

There she is, the deep throat of environmentalism.

Thanks for the time you devote to us.

Thank you.

Let's start right away.

First, have you listened to Toscanelli?

I've listened to him.

Do you want to reply now that we’re here?

If I had to answer, you’d need nine hours,

and I don't think you can handle all that space.

Thanks for reminding me I'll work on it.

I'm happy for you. Anyway, I want

to let Mr. Toscanelli know,

that I refrain from fighting cultural battles,

with people who are unarmed and lacking ammunition.

Long live honesty!

Cornelia, before your usual
talk, I'd like to ask a few questions.

After all, the public would like to know who you are.

I'll answer gladly.

Perfect, let's start right away.

Do you have any friends?

Please ask me this question properly.

You want to know if I have
friends, or if anyone can stand me.

If you want to put it that way.

New friends, new troubles I would say no.

- I'm done with that stuff. - Alright, second question.

What's your relationship with your family?

Good, the family has grown through dialogue.

That's quite something coming from you,

and lastly, do you believe in God?

If God existed, he would be incredibly cruel,

I live better without him.

Ladies and gentlemen, Cornelia de Sanctis!

Why can't we defeat global warming?

Haven't you gotten tired of hearing this question,

as if the answer were a mystery?

For 10 years you've asked me what could be done?

And my answers are always the same.

Maybe it's neurological. Who knows?

No, if Alzheimer's spread, we’d forget everything.

We forget what we need most.

Look at our bad luck! Always
taking this damned step forward.

That's why the problem is still here,

we are not programmed to solve it.

We aren't scared, the threat isn't personal,

it isn't sudden, it isn't current

and above all it seems immoral.

The funny thing is that these four cognitive biases,

will soon all come true, one after the other.

Soon we will be scared because

the threat will concern each and every one of us soon,

the speed with which events will overlap,

will make the problem seem
much more sudden than ever.

And soon we'll say with conviction,

Yes, we're here!

Global warming is here, it's current.

I purposely left out immorality
for a very specific reason.

Because immorality is the basis of everything.

Global warming is the natural
reaction of the Earth system

to the lifestyle of rich countries.

Listing one by one all the causes of this crisis

inevitably makes us feel like crap,

and none of us wants to come off as crap.

That's why we’re still dazzled
by climate change deniers.

Because the facts they deny are terrifying

and no one wants to be guilty of a terrifying future.

It's a new narrative you're bringing tonight.

Don't interrupt me, I'm not finished.

Oh, sorry.

Do many of you feel too small to make a difference?

Oh sure, it's the politicians who decide, not us.

I'm afraid that over the years this has become

the latest form of greenwashing.

Didn't get it? I'll give you an example.

Some time ago I saw a journalist

using one of those online calculators.

You know, the ones that tell
you if you're being good with CO2.

This genius answered, and
then the program’s voice said:

Congratulations, your lifestyle

multiplied by all the inhabitants of the Earth

would cost us 4 and a half planets.

And do you know how he took it?

But what can I do if the world is like this?

See, it all boils down to a jerk,

who lets a computer call him a jerk.

Do you want this damn world

always lit, to travel by car, plane or ship,

to always have everything running? Well.

Over 80% of the energy for
this comes from fossil fuels.

So who's the real crazy one, the emir selling oil

or you, who buy it?

Always very clear, Cornelia, but let me understand.

Do you think people still struggle to understand?

If people had understood CO2 emissions

would have dropped for 20
years, instead of hitting 420 ppm.

Which is the current situation, right?

- Yes, and it’s not pretty. - But last year’s increase

has been slower than the average.

Great news! It's like saying an
obese person gains weight slower,

we know that the heart attack doesn’t spare you,

when it sees you trying.

Let's try to relax, no one wants to create an argument.

Don't tell me to relax, I know this game very well.

What?

You think that just because
I participate in your show,

I've never asked myself some questions

about the real reason you invite me.

What the hell are you talking about?

I'm saying that you don’t care about my speeches,

neither you nor,

the people who follow you.

That's not true.

Yes, it's true. In fact, you only invite me

so the audience can have a good laugh.

I had seen you just once,

inviting scientists.

No, what do they do?

They call sociologists to talk about my life.

I'm afraid we’ve misunderstood each other.

No, the problem is very clear.

I have a proposal for you.

Why don't we extend this a little more?

What?

I want to expand the debate.

Cornelia, please.

In 5 seconds my phone number
will be on my Instagram page,

I'm giving it to each of you so you can show me that,

beyond vomiting bile, you can
also have a serious discussion.

Come on, am I ready?

Cornelia, we're not joking here.

I'm not joking either.

Are you more afraid for my
safety or for your reputation?

Neither. You're a guest here, you don't call the shots.

I can't? What?

Do what I want? Well, I feel like it now, I'm sorry.

Obviously, I advise you not to

Call me? No, no, call me instead.

We'll see some good things soon.

Enough insults ungrammatical and vomiting faces.

Let's talk seriously, face to face.

Please, let's shut it down!

Was your dream to tell me how much of a bitch I am?

Here you go, enjoy!

Toscanelli is right. Go to work, you idiot.

This year I'm going to the North Pole so,

if I take the plane, the ice will disappear anyway.

What a shitty reasoning!

- Hi. - Hi.

What are you doing here all alone?

I'm fighting for the future of the planet.

Okay.

Do you want to have some fun?

Meaning what? Do you know how many guys wear that?

No thanks. I'm sorry.

Okay.

What about something else?

Why? What do you have to offer?

That'll be 20 for you.

I don't see a woman alone.

I was looking for some privacy.

Are you waiting for someone?

Yes, more than one.

Hello!

Hi Cornelia, I got your number.

It was there for that.

I like doing things like in the old days.

It takes guts to make a call. Let's see if you have any.

Relax, I just want to talk.

Fire away.

Don't you think journalists
know nothing about climate?

Absolutely.

Their reasoning is based on ratings.

The facts take a backseat
if they don’t produce views.

What do you mean?

They don't do that job to tell you the truth.

They do it to impress you
with their version of reality.

Yes.

And so?

So you'll always hear the same story,

even though it's getting worse and worse.

And when you're tired of hearing
that global warming is a problem,

you'll start to downplay it.

After all, if we're still alive, what could be that bad?

Wow, your reasoning makes total sense.

It's a vicious cycle; nobody sees it.

And you're all part of the problem.

Kind of like the doughnut theory. Do you know it?

Of course, Raworth's circular economy.

Yes, but applied to stupidity.

Wait, you don't think I'm a denier, do you?

No, what denial?

How can you understand planetary
boundaries in just five minutes?

And then they say we've already surpassed 6 out of 9?

Yes, perfect but I’ve already told you.

I don't care about that junk.
I still have critical thinking.

Did you learn that from Mickey Mouse?

Look, I'm not an idiot. Have some respect.

At best, you're a fact-collector,

and I've really gotten tired of fact-collecting,

I want you to act, move!

I'm already doing it! What do
you know? I have an electric car,

a renovated house, and I haven't flown in six years.

But at least get informed before speaking!

The first phone call, and I regain hope in humanity.

Congratulations.

What were you expecting, an idiot?

Well, that would have been more fun.

Anyway, you're good, friend.
Don’t see why we should continue.

Sorry, but were you hunting trolls?

I'm here to heal the sick and you're not one of them.

Yeah, I get it.

Not bad, the guy.

- Hello? - Is that number true?

Yes, it's true, but I'd suggest you use it cautiously.

Yeah, sure, but I wanted to ask you something.

When I was little, I was convinced

that global warming meant an imminent Ice Age.

Why didn't anyone tell me it was all bullshit?

Because, in fact it wasn't bullshit.

Limited to the European
continent it could still happen

in the event of total collapse of Greenland.

That ice contains 7 meters of sea level rise,

it would mean goodbye to the Romagna Riviera.

You won't live in those parts, I hope?

No, absolutely not.

Thanks for the info. I'll avoid
thinking about it in future.

It's not funny, they will displace millions of people.

Don't be offended. If we can't
joke among friends, when can we?

So now we're friends?

- I didn't know. - It was just a joke, you know!

Do you have something else to ask me?

Yes, I've been planning to write a book.

A bit like you did. It's no coincidence that

you'd have some interesting anecdotes to tell me.

- Everyone's an intellectual tonight. - Thanks.

Hello?

Hello?

Are you still there?

Hello?

Have you ever heard of perceptual distortion?

You're right. No, not really.

It's when your eyes see something,

that your mind can’t properly interpret.

Do you know what usually happens?

No.

The first person you meet
tells you the craziest stories.

What do you know about it?

I think you could give me some examples.

Sure.

When I was little, my mom told me a story.

You see, anyone can try to explain it to you,

but who has ever studied atmospheric physics?

And what did she say?

There is a correlation between
earthquakes and climate.

- Did you know that? - Really?

No, it's a big lie.

My mother couldn't even
explain that nonsense properly.

She just said strong winds came before earthquakes.

But the legend actually says the opposite.

It's the mild climate that triggers an earthquake.

She didn't even know what she
was saying, but I was just a girl,

what skills did I have to question an adult?

It was a month-long nightmare
whenever the wind slammed a window.

A crazy thing.

I swear I'd never heard that one before.

Do you know why they call it an urban legend?

No.

Because many people in the city believe it.

I see. And how did you solve it?

It didn't take much. I went to school.

If I'd never discovered the truth, I'd be insane by now.

That's interesting.

Why?

You study so you don't feel like you're going crazy,

but you know that's how many people describe you.

Is that your elegant way of saying you think that too?

No, I was speaking in general.

Are you sure?

Yes, of course.

Don't be embarrassed. We're among friends, as you said.

Honestly, I don't always agree with your reasoning.

You're very prepared, but that, for example.

I don't always agree that we
should stop flying, that's all.

Who knows why I imagined you weren't just curious.

Will I also have the right to have my opinions or not?

- Of course. - Fine.

But it took you 3 minutes to let go.

Let's see what happens if I make you talk.

There's not going to be a problem, right?

Answer my question.

What do you think about kids
blocking roads for the environment?

I think it's an annoying limit
on other people's freedom.

Other people's freedom?

- Yes. - What if I drove against traffic?

Driving against traffic?

Yes, exactly.

I want to be free to do it. Who are you to stop me?

Are you okay?

Of course.

You're not well when you think
that those are the problems.

I'm tired of breathing polluted air.

What does that have to do with
it? The rules say I can use my car.

While those people have no right to block my way.

Why? You're poisoning their lungs.
Who says you're allowed to do that?

My country's laws! What the hell is wrong with you?

Just because a rule exists
doesn't mean it must be respected.

Oh, God.

If I block your way, at worst you'll be late for work.

What's the problem?

What if I lose that job? Or if my
mother was in hospital with cancer?

Would you come help me? Who would comes?

I'm sorry about your mother.

It was an example.

Couldn't your mother get cancer
from the fumes coming out of your car?

You're a disgusting bitch.

- You said it was just an example. - Go fuck yourself, okay?

You suck!

- Is your car comfortable? - Please, just go away!

- Is it a diesel? You're an idiot. - Just go away!

Fossil fuels created the world as we know it.

That's why we're afraid to live
without them. If gas prices rise,

because of a war, no one lifts a finger.

But if it's to incentivize the green transition,

then the country goes into turmoil.

This isn't made up. It happened in France in 2018.

That's because we are creatures of habit.

Making us pay for pollution still feels more normal,

than actually fighting the climate crisis.

They called it Greenland
because, in the time of the Vikings,

there was little ice there.

Genius, Greenland only referred
to the island's southern coast.

The Vikings arrived in summer,
which is why they named it that.

Who do you think will see it
completely green in a few decades?

It will be us.

Who the fuck will pay for this energy transition?

Who exactly?

Do you really think it’s still a matter of money?

Some fossil fuel companies
want us to believe they’re finished,

but they're far from it.

So they can make sure to sell you their energy.

It's all a matter of culture.

In Denmark, if you throw a can
on the ground, you get a fine.

Here, even the police don't
know which bin the trash goes in.

Anyone still talking about growth
is either crazy or an economist.

Cement eats up 2 square meters every second,

70 thousand hectares a year.

Why does only agrivoltaics make you so angry?

In the last 10 years,

we have produced two million tonnes less CO2.

At this rate, Italy will reach

zero emissions in 2220,

basically 170 years late

on the 2050 deadline.

Good evening.

You don't mind if I attach it, right?

Well, I'll take it as a yes, then.

Cornelia!

Oh, welcome back! You know I'm having a blast?

What game are you playing?

The game where they call me
angry and I make them angrier.

Wanna try?

You think you know everything?

But surely you don't know that I've already dealt with

the crazies trying to mess up my live streams.

Oh, I guess you want to suggest that I be

careful given how you handled them, right?

I could say that now and ruin
us. But I still hope it's recoverable.

But that depends on you, you're the one offended.

For once please, don't pretend.
Talk to me like a normal person.

I won't say a word. If you have
something to tell me, I'm here.

Why do those things in the stream?

I felt it was time to change the rules.

Are you saying you missed this mess?

If you want me to say shit, you don't need your show.

They write it to me every day on my profiles.

I don't know the problem, and I don't want to know.

Promise it won't happen again.

I understand.

You won't fire me.

Part of you wants to, but you have too much to lose.

You're asking me to kneel to your rules, don't you?

Why are you doing this?

That's why you called me all aggressive

You didn't want me to realize
that I hold all the cards now.

You're a certified bitch.

You know exactly where I stand,
so why take advantage of it?

Poor thing. You built a career by riding on my views.

God forbid you raise your tone,
because the audience gets offended.

Don't mock me, alright?

Listen, buddy,

first of all, I don't take orders from anyone.

If I were you, I'd reflect on my future.

Stop! You want to give me a lecture?

Exactly.

Start by bringing some
seriousness into that damn show.

That way you'll realize the problem isn't me,

since all I do is tell the truth.

I'm not in charge, you know. If there is a problem,

I'll be the first to get fired.

Fine.

You want to prioritize your career?

Legitimate and understandable choice,

but don't count on my help then.

I get why you're acting like this.

I'm just asking you to meet me halfway.

No compromise, I'm sorry.

From you, it's just a waste of time.

And I'm tired of playing the one who is never heard.

Do you think after tonight
they'll hang on your every word?

You're the third one calling me.

Good for you. Be proud. In the end, I'm the one who loses.

If you wanted fame, I've definitely helped you.

Do what you want. I hope people care about you.

Because someone like you wouldn't want to be alone.

Hello?

Please don't hang up.

How old are you?

10.

Where are you calling from?

From my house.

What’s going on?

My parents do nothing but keep telling me

how beautiful the world was before I was born.

Was it really like that?

Do you think you missed the best part of the story?

I don't know, you have to tell me.

You have the answer.

You must not be afraid of my judgment.

I don't think so, okay?

I can only agree with you.

If today emissions amount to 420 parts per million,

because 30 years ago no one stopped them at 300.

Where was this perfect society

that everyone regrets?

Are you referring to CO2 emissions?

Yes, and if you know this term,

it's because the problem can no longer be ignored.

But it wasn't like that before.

And how was it?

One evening, I was flipping through

my daughter's Geography book,

and I found a chapter that talked

about the degradation of the ecosystem.

Do you know what it said?

If every human being exerted
the environmental pressure

of an average American,

the Earth would already have collapsed.

In practice I had just discovered that.

If the world is still standing,
it's thanks to those poor people,

who luckily are still poor on Earth.

Maybe they were afraid to scare the children.

Why?

You're not scared.

But I'm used to these topics.

They would have gotten used to them,

they would have become responsible.

Not consumers.

Consumers?

Imagine the Earth as if it were a cake.

The cake is a structure

and every structure has a base.

Let’s say that,

respecting the ecosystem is our base.

While the economy,

could be the cherry on top of the cake.

If that collapses,

the cake would still be standing.

We humans have reversed the two parts,

and we did it with such conviction.

Now going back seems almost
offensive as well as impossible.

It doesn't seem offensive to
me to respect the environment.

For now? Capitalism's distortions
haven't reached your life yet.

When you are in front of the
Green Meadow, what will you do?

What is the Green Meadow?

It's a place that puts you in front of a crossroads.

Preserve the Meadow or exploit it for profits?

If I ruin it then it won't be green.

If I gave you significant capital to do it?

It’s likely I’d still say no.

But I'm not an adult. You can't ask me these things.

Who are adults for you?

My mother and my father.

Do you think they know many things?

If I was ten years old and learned a lot,

they should have done even more.

Why do you think adults pollute?

Maybe it's not as dangerous as it seems.

Because you're making a
rational argument. They aren’t.

No. It can't be. They would be too stupid.

Think, I used to believe that too.

I have to hang up.

Could you give me one of those
pieces of advice you give on TV?

Become a better adult than your parents were.

Hello?

You're de Sanctis?

In person.

Great.

I'll warn you, my colleagues
advised me not to talk to you.

They say that with people
like you it's not worth it at all.

What job do you do, sorry?

I'm a journalist.

Finally someone with credentials?

What's being said in the newsroom?

Show more respect for our profession.

Did you dream that I threw a stone at you, by chance?

I guess it's too much to ask for some seriousness.

Are you coming to talk to me about seriousness?

To call me, you had to wait for me to make this mess.

Maybe I ruined my reputation a bit.
But communicating felt more important.

So pay attention to me.

Go ahead.

You know that ours is a job?

Of course, I have respect for it.

Perfect. I want to make it clear that we aren't idiots

that you can attack when news doesn't suit you

or because we don't talk climate.

Yet I attack you because the news
doesn't suit me and you ignore climate.

I don't know if you're doing this on purpose.

Should pros with 50 years of
work check their conscience?

Why are you now here shouting at us

that we don't know how to communicate?

A colleague of yours said global
warming is the biggest story

that journalism has never made enough news about

would that have justified offending my category?

First, don't take it personally because

I don't know who you are.

Second, you know that to be heard,

you must make some noise.

When the noise gets too loud, isn't it time to lower it?

What is a mafia threat?

Go ahead and mock me, the easy ride is over.

Your way of acting is charming.

You start off diplomatic, and then you confess

that you'd use tough measures to make me shut up.

I wanted to understand who you were.

You're not one to take half measures.

Is it so hard to admit that maybe

could I have a little reason?

No, you are just the mirror of the times

where anyone can say what they
want, as so many limits have been broken.

You're the experts who cry about the flood victims,

then talk about how well GDP did in the last quarter.

How many disasters before you
realize those two things are connected?

What nonsense you talk.

Do you believe all this crap?

It always ends like this.

When you get straight to the point, people can't argue.

But do we want to take a step forward?

Don't start acting, it won't work.

I'm dead serious.

I want to know what you
think when you deliver the news.

And what will it change for you?

Maybe I'll understand the point of some reports

when you say with a funeral face.

This year, due to the crisis, money
was spent on basic necessities.

Well shit, I say.

Money should be used for exactly
that, not to buy useless crap.

You're completely crazy.

I refuse to explain how life
works because you're hopeless.

I'm hopeless?

You're just naive, thinking you know it all.

What are the average emissions

of an Italian citizen?

Stop it.

How much for weapons and how much for climate?

You don't know a damn thing, do you?

Well, know this, that's exactly why I hate you!

I see you took my invitation to call seriously.

It excites me to see that I can
make you do whatever I want.

Most influencers are a little embarrassed to

admit how awesome it is to stir people up.

I think there's nothing wrong
with confessing how cool this is.

It gives me an unexplainable sense of liberation.

You see people listening, getting
angry, wanting to argue back.

It gives you such an adrenaline rush,

that you'd want to extend
the night just to keep talking.

Then something happens,

something that transforms
my adrenaline into anger.

Because in the end, I want to help you,

but I just can't. Are you saying that you don't care?

Fine.

Why are you still here listening to me?

Alright, fine,

this story is fascinating,
how could I argue with that?

But when you're at the doctor,
you don't listen because they're nice.

You listen because they need to save your life.

I've told you before, and I'll say it again.

There is only one way to escape the disaster,

that is to accept that our
future must contradict our past.

There's a construction company called Humanity.

From tomorrow they will no
longer have the right to build.

The only thing they will be able
to do is repair what already existed.

Does this seem crazy?

Know that there is no other future outside of this.

I bet you're thinking that I'm crazy. Maybe a whore.

The term used to shut up every
woman who tries to speak her mind.

You want to know my opinion about you?

You are disconnected from the world,

tired, angry, and constantly
searching for an enemy to fight.

But you take it out on the
climate crisis, for God's sake.

Blame the one responsible
for the mess your lives are in.

Show them, damn it. Spoil their plans.

How do you say it? It's just rhetoric?

Of course, that's how you answer
when the topic is disgusting.

Who would want to hear

that it's time to change? No one.

But change what?

The system has worked like this
for years. Why should we change it?

That's why current politicians
come and spout their nonsense.

That the transition will destroy jobs.

But what jobs?

Open your eyes, gentlemen. The
job has already been destroyed.

We didn't need the wind turbines for the final blow.

Nothing works, and you blame those few tools

we have to save what can be saved.

We live in an incredible reality.

A reality where truth coexists with its opposite.

A reality where NASA, IPCC,
the UN and the Pope say the same.

But a fool on TV can say that it's all false.

A reality where Exxon Mobil knew since the '70s

the risks related to oil extraction.

But they kept going anyway.
Politicians are informed

by the best world science, but act like deniers

to avoid scaring voters.

A reality where we must address the problem

because we can no longer ignore it like before.

A reality that simply makes no sense.

Hypocrite, you act like you
care about the environment

but you didn’t give up on having a child.

Do you know it is classified
as damage to the biosphere?

I don't need to justify myself.
Besides, when I had my daughter,

I was very young.

And they only spoke of the
Premier's trials and the Queen's events.

So if I wasn't informed at the time, I'm sorry.

You're being sarcastic.

Look, at the bright side.

The government has already
helped sink the birth rate.

They certainly aren't doing it for the environment,

but at least we can be optimistic.

So you're happy if, soon,

we'll have 20 million elderly
without pensions and left helpless.

Who's going to take care of them?

Why do you prefer 20 million fully healthy people

who think we can live on Earth

with Cristiano Ronaldo's lifestyle?

What the hell are you comparing?

No, just stating a fact.

Why do I get the feeling that
you just want to piss people off?

If I had held back, you would have never cared about me.

At least now you know who I am and what I say.

What are you worried about?
We'll fix everything with nuclear.

Which nuclear?

With the non-existent fourth generation nuclear?

Or the current one, still
plagued by 40-year-old problems?

If you say so, even though you
have no expertise on the matter,

I should believe it.

When experts talk, it doesn't change much?

Maybe for you, but I would have heard

these things from the professionals.

I think you don't understand the difference

between those talking for economic
interests and those talking science.

Nuclear energy moves a mountain of money,

and that's the only reason it's still being discussed.

Yeah, sure.

It's too slow, there's waste
and if it breaks, we're screwed.

As far as I'm concerned, you're
a renewable energy sponsor,

so you're not credible.

But why do you always shift the topic to me?

Because you're always there doing propaganda,

again and again, enough, come on.

Listen, you're not really clear

about the concept of an emergency.

When a ship is sinking,

you think only about saving yourself,

you don't wait for the children on board to grow up,

get their doctorates and repair
the damage in the meantime.

Look, get some advice, leave the house a little.

In my opinion you're so repressed,
even your husband won't fuck you.

How dare you say these things?

How dare you talk about my life?

Are you a sociologist or a scientist?

No, first I want to understand your expertise,

to know if you have

the necessary skills to
address these specific topics.

So, would I be an idiot, for example?

Yes, sure.

In fact, I understand you, do you get it?

No, I refuse.

If I speak out online, I want to be heard.

Otherwise, I mean, it's pointless for me to talk.

I'm just wasting my breath.

- You're just talking. - Yeah, like

understanding what I'm
saying isn't that hard, you get it?

We don't get it, what can we do?

But you're a bunch of idiots.

- It's not my fault. - Your tone is starting to annoy me.

Don't you like the way I say it?

Okay, okay.

Then I'll try to say it in a much calmer, peaceful tone.

But in the meantime, the planet is going to hell, okay?

There!

What a pain!

Hello!

Mom!

What do you want?

Listen, there's a problem.

What kind of problem?

Could you come get me?

Sorry, where?

Didn't anyone warn you yet?

What about?

I'm at the police station.

At the police station?

What do you mean?

I mean, I'm inside the police station.

What don't you understand?

Okay.

If you wanted to piss me off,
you did. Give me the address.

If you show up with a lawyer, it'll be faster.

Stop with the bullshit!

God, don't tell me I ruined your perfect evening.

Did your connection drop?

I don't know where I went wrong
with you, but you'll pay for this.

What are you going to do? Post
my punishment on Instagram?

Stop it!

She's angry because I'm doing what she should do.

You lack the guts to go out
and actually fight this battle.

It's easier to stay on TV and talk bullshit.

She's crazy.

She's crazy.

If you don't find anyone at home,
don't worry, we're coming back.

Hello.

I listened to the message, where are you?

I'm going to pick up Milva, don't worry.

Was she still out at this time?

Yes. We'll talk about it later if you want.

Where exactly is she?

Just do what I told you.

Half an hour and we'll be home.

And that makes me worry.

I'm already handling it.

Did she do something?

Yes, but I hope it's nothing serious.

Let's hope so. I heard about the live broadcast.

Why are you still getting involved in this nonsense?

Don't start with me too. Just let me handle my own life.

They've already called you?

Yes, and that's none of your business.

It's my business if your phone's
busy while I'm trying to find out why

my daughter isn't home at one in the morning.

Yes, and you're a great father.
Now stay calm, everything will be fine.

Let's hope these nights don't become a trend.

We'll talk about it later.

Come home soon.

Hello?

Yes.

You're the one with the climate thing, right?

Yes, who are you?

Is this how you respond to someone who wants to talk?

I don't like your voice.

What about my voice don’t you like?

You're out of tune. Your mid frequencies are too high.

You don't realize that the more you
shout, the more you annoy people.

So, you know what I'll tell you?

My boyfriend was right when
he said that you're just an idiot.

I can imagine what a nice person he must be.

Don't disrespect him.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend him.

Shut up and listen to me.

I've been quiet all evening to listen.

Stop with these silly things
about the end of the world.

What makes you think they're nonsense?

Because they're not true.

But if they're not true, why does
it make you mad if I talk about it?

Because then idiots will follow. So what do you want?

Should we stop living just because
of the climate change trend?

You think it's a trend?

Yes, these things have always been around.

They always say that, so stop blaming
people who have nothing to do with it.

Try doing your part anyway. Maybe it helps.

But stop it, don't mess with me.

It's good advice instead.

Elevate yourself from this mass of ignorant people.

From tomorrow, total respect
for environmental protection.

Zero waste, less meat.

You'll see your friends will
think wow, she really knows

what she's talking about. I
might actually listen to her.

But fuck you, seriously. You're unbearable on TV.

On the phone you're even worse.
How much do they pay you to speak?

Why do you ask me?

Are you afraid my life is better than yours?

People like you should be ashamed.
There are people who can't find work

while you profit from this bullshit.
Don’t you have a conscience?

Do you all say the same thing?

If it seems so easy to you,
why don’t you try it yourself?

No, it's not simple.

You have to be a real scoundrel to do what you do.

I'll make a note of this.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with chem trails,

which are the remnants of
kerosene that planes use to fuel up.

It's a type of hydrocarbon
that’s extremely polluting.

Why aren't you glued to the road? Should I run you over?

And thank God for that. I was stunned.

I'm just waiting for the opportunity to come.

When you get there, what will you do?

Will you really have the courage to kill people?

What? Do you want to test me?

Yes, look. I can't wait to hear the news.

How many comments of solidarity you'll get.

Reach Parliament. Just limit the deaths.

Shoot yourself, whore!

Look, it's a good idea.

I'm pissed off too by these lazy people who don't work.

You could step in and give a
good service to the community.

You're so repressed, not even
your husband fucks you anymore.

I'm not an adult. You can't ask me these things.

Stop playing, the party's over.

The planet is going to shit.

But at least get informed before talking.

You're a jerk.

You suck!

But shoot yourself, bitch!

Hello? Hello?

Yes.

I had been getting a busy signal for an hour.

What do you want?

My name is Lisa.

I appreciate you introducing
yourself, not many people do that.

Do they think you might report them?

This shows how stupid they are

since they think I have time to waste with them.

I can hear you're tired.

How many have you been with before me?

Enough to write a book. What do you want?

Do you know that it feels strange to hear your voice?

It happens when you talk to someone,

that you've always seen beyond the screen.

I didn't meet you that way.

No? How come?

Stories.

How poetic are you?

Listen, I have some things to do, so get to the point.

Not so fast. Tell me, do you like what you do?

Do you think I would be happier doing something else?

No, but do you know why I'm asking you?

Because I wouldn't want to ruin
your excitement with what I'll tell you.

Talk now, or I'm hanging up.

Do you love your family?

What does my family have to do with this now?

Do you think you have a good relationship with them?

It's none of your business, and who the hell are you?

I'm trying to figure out how
to approach this, it's not easy.

Don't waste my time.

Okay, let's do it like this.

Look at what I'm sending
you. This might speed things up.

You're all just as bad as the others.

I'm not like the rest, trust me.

So, are you crazy or do you think I am?

No, you're not crazy, not yet anyway.

When are we going to get a job, ecologist whore?

Great, you're the last one I needed to see.

Do you want to know how much my car pollutes?

To see how well you're doing your job?

Tell me how many times you
masturbated before calling me.

A lot. If you want next time, you can give me a hand.

Bad idea. Make sure your boyfriend swallows,

everything after coitus, because if he spits

things won't go well between you.

Tomorrow I'll come and get you

What the fuck is this stuff?

Life's funny, isn't it?

We think we're so great

handling the world's problems.
Then when faced with that,

we become small again like children.

Don't worry, I don't want to keep hurting you.

I can imagine how you feel now.

I'd like to hang up the phone in your face.

But I can't.

Do you think you have the strength to answer me?

No.

It's just that I can't move.

I know how it feels, I've been there too.

Have you decided to take it out on me?

No, I'm not revengeful.

I didn't know anything about it at first.

How did it happen?

It always happens in the simplest way.

A glance, a word.

Often you just want to seize the moment and let go.

Why?

He didn't recognize you. He said you had changed.

He believed in your ideals,
but missed who you were before.

All of this, what?

All you've become since the media world absorbed you.

He said that ignorance couldn't be fought with hate.

What kind of fucking excuse is that?

There's no way to justify this stuff.

Can I tell you what happened?

Who are you to do this to me?

Someone who could seize the opportunity and did.

Opportunity?

I wanted to give my life meaning.

Do you like that better?

You didn't want to mean
something, you wanted to ruin my life.

How blind you are!

Even now you think you're at the center of everything.

Do you want to convince me you did it out of love?

Anyone who uses the word love is considered an idiot.

Try to understand why people
like you can't comprehend this.

Meaningful lives don't humiliate anyone,

or enjoy someone else's impotence.

It simply means not being alone anymore.

I don't expect your forgiveness.

Settle your affairs. I'm already out of the way.

My God, even mercy now.

It was right that you knew.

I'll leave you to your reflections,
as I imagine you need them.

Wait.

What do you want?

Why did you tell me this?

You left me your number.

Tell me.

I picked up Milva. Why did you hide it from me?

Don't tell me you called her.

What was I supposed to do?

Stay home with my hands tied?

Did she happen to tell you why she was there?

No, the police told me.

She and her friends planned to
slash the neighborhood's car tires.

- Oh shit! - When caught, they saved her.

Why did you want to keep me in the dark?

I didn't want to make you worry.

Are you sure?

Of course, I'm sure.

Why do you care anyway? You solved it your way.

You didn't bring her home just to lie to me, right?

I didn't even know what happened.

Yeah, sure.

But you knew she ended up at the police station.

If you're trying to attack me, it's not the right night.

Dad, what's happening?

Dad?

Did you notice how she was acting lately?

Yes, I noticed and I was just as worried as you.

But if you're never home? You never talk to her.

How can you be worried?

Don't blame me, you live in that house too.

How am I supposed to not blame you?

First you fill her head with bullshit,

then disappear from her
life like you’re not her mother.

Listen to me carefully.

Don't give me responsibilities that aren't mine.

She's 18, she's not a child.

If you wanted to do something you had all the time.

So it has nothing to do with
you? Climate here, climate there.

Your daughter ends up jailed

and I'm the jerk for caring about my family?

You think you care about your family?

Yet, I'm the one who rushed here.

Where have you been, if you don't mind me asking?

I was on my way, but I stopped.
I don't think I'll leave again.

For God's sake, why?

I've reached my limit.

What beautiful words.

Dodging responsibility.

That's all you can do now.

I knew it.

What?

You hit rock bottom way before I did.

I don't follow. Be clear.

At least tell me if you liked it.

What did I like?

Just answer.

But I can't answer if I don't
know what you're talking about.

Stop pretending! She called me.

Who?

You know who.

How did she find you?

You're just thinking about how to justify yourself.

What did she tell you?

What everyone tells me now.

That being close to me is suffering.

Shit!

Incredible how many things
you can learn in a single night.

I didn't think she'd do it.

And I didn't think I'd disappoint you this much.

You haven't disappointed me.

But when it happens, it's already too late.

You know, I also discovered something tonight.

Maybe it's just my fault.

I wasted years of my life trying to be heard.

Don't play the victim now.

Can you believe I lived 10 years
without knowing the climate was sick?

What does that have to do with this?

My life was completely different.
One day was just like the next.

Everything was lighter, more carefree.

I didn't fear the future
because I couldn't wait to see it.

Then I discovered that future scared me.

At first they told me not to fear
a problem that affects everyone,

we'll solve it sooner or later So I waited.

A prophet said that even though the threat was close,

humans weren't doing anything to face it.

That's where the person I am now was born.

That's why I became this way.

To stop being afraid, I had to take it out on others.

At first I liked it. It made me feel useful.

Then I discovered that the more
famous I got, the more people hated me.

The system destroyed me.

What did I discover?

That I'm powerless.

Maybe that's why the climate has always scared me.

Against it, I am nothing.

It's like a fierce beast we disturbed,
thinking we could dominate everything.

I wonder what kind of person I'll be.

When we truly pay for it.

Maybe I'll be better than I've ever been.

Or I'll be the most disgusting woman on earth.

Who can say?

Honestly, I no longer care about what you've done.

We're just stunned animals
that think they're something more.

Close your eyes, take a nap.

What happened is already in the past.

Fuck.

Hello? Are you still there?

Why did you come back?

Don't make me change my mind, please.

I don't have the strength to speak.

What do you want me to do?

I can hear you're down, what happened?

Maybe you were right

Maybe I'm messing everything up.

Something happened to you.

But you need to tell me if you want me to help you.

I want to see you now.

Now you're asking too much.

We can do it tomorrow.

Do you know why the sea is more
important than the atmosphere?

No.

Because it forgets nothing.

What does that mean?

The atmosphere can forget everything in no time.

We can go from one season to another

in a couple of days, if not in hours.

The sea's rules, however, are different.

It absorbs every biochemical imbalance

for millions of years.

So? Are we all screwed?

Who am I to say?

The problems are so many that we can only observe.

But what will really happen is beyond our knowledge.

I believe this is the first time I've
ever heard you truly disheartened.

You must have taken quite a blow.

For now, I feel this way.

When the sea makes millions of people evacuate

I will be able to downsize my problems.

If the situation is like this, the
last thing I would want to do is

blame those who live in the same boat as me.

If people didn't hate each other,

we would have already solved the problem.

But I fear that people will
realize it when it's too late.

For what? Are you the one who always says

time doesn’t exist for nature?

We are not nature. We're against it.

Because we haven't yet accepted our limits.

But the day we do, it will still be better

than all the others that came before.

It's easy to talk now.

I'd like to see you at that point.

Yes.

Maybe many of the concepts
we're used to will disappear

states, languages, skin color.

But in the end every era has had its own problems.

How stupid we were to think we lived in perfection.

Why did he call me back?

You did it first. I didn't think it
was right for it to end this way.

Do you know why we lost sight of each other?

No.

Because I thought I had nothing
in common with you anymore.

Then you realized you had
nothing in common with anyone.

Don't blame yourself, though.

At least now you'll have a story to tell.

And what?

The story of the glass half full?

No, you simply understood that

anger is not the solution, but the cause.

Anger generates heat, and too much
heat inside a human body means fever.

The same disease the planet is suffering from.

Do you think I can still make up for it?

You managed to make me forgive
you. I'd say you still have some hope.

Thanks for coming back.

What do you say?

Shall we meet for lunch
tomorrow so we can talk about it?

Yes. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

One last thing.

Yes.

Stop copying aphorisms from the internet

and start using your own words.

You're the first to notice in five years.

I can imagine. Damned ignorance.

See you tomorrow.

Hello? Where are you?

Still far away, but I would have come to get you anyway.

Dad already took care of it.

What happened before?

Nothing, don't worry.

Do you think you can convince me with this tone?

Were you that angry when I called you?

Why do you seem so different now?

By the time you're able to, the moment has already gone.

Well, you're not so bad if you still say this bullshit.

Are you on your balcony?

No, I'm on the street. I don't feel like going upstairs

Go home, come on.

Are you still angry with me?

I think I've lost sight of the reasons to be angry.

What a sudden change.

From tomorrow I promise I'll quit everything.

TV, social media, advertising. That's it, I'm done.

So you're telling me you're
going to get off social media?

Yes.

I had a feeling this wasn’t just another night,

but this one really is.

I want to leave, those things have poisoned me.

I'm speechless.

It feels like in one night you lived a lifetime.

You haven't gone too far from that.

I already told Dad you have nothing to do with this.

You know well it wouldn’t have helped.

Of course.

When will you adults realize you
have no power over our choices?

If you were a farmer's daughter, you
wouldn't waste time sabotaging cars.

Who knows?

Maybe I'd have farmed
sustainably, which is the same thing.

You know that's not true.

For now. One day, fossil fuels might be banned,

and those who use them will
be treated like drug dealers.

Maybe someone who does what I did will get a medal,

instead of a fine.

Your optimism.

Don't be such a prude.

I'm not afraid of anything. Only
the climate can affect my life.

I can only envy your courage in a moment like this.

Save some for me too. I will need it.

Imagine if tomorrow the only
problem was cleaning up the world.

That would be a beautiful utopia.

It's not utopia.

When I was little, you always told me that.

When you feel bad, pick up some
trash and everything will get better.

Do you still remember that?

I do. Maybe you're the one who forgot.

Wait for me, I'll be back soon.

You've been saying that all evening.

Maybe you should do the opposite.

Come back when you feel like it. I'll be here waiting.

Thank you.

- Hi! - Hi!

Where's Sara?

I don't know Sara.

Was this place free when you arrived?

Sure.

Sorry.

Wait.

That scooter runs on gasoline?

Yes, why?

I don't see any gas station here, why did you stop?

I had an appointment with someone.

At this hour? Yes.

If you have an appointment with
someone and they stand you up,

the first thing you do is call them.

Why do you care?

Nothing.

I was just wondering who you were hoping to find.

Since you assumed I was friends with this Sara.

Mind your own business!

You're the one who came towards me.

Listen, I don't know you, there’s a misunderstanding.

Let's end it here.

I doubt you were looking for drugs,
otherwise you'd have asked me for them.

Since you assumed I was a friend of this Sara,

whose number I don’t even have,

I guess she's a prostitute that you usually meet here.

Well done, so what?

So, can we talk about it?

What do you mean?

First, I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Then, maybe you'll find what you're looking for.

Are you joking?

Come on, get in the car.

I want to talk.

What did you want to ask me?

Tell me about this Sara.

Why are you interested?

Well, I want to know.

What is someone like you
doing around here at this hour?

You're not a cop, are you?

Even if you were, it doesn't seem
like you've committed a crime.

She's a girl who makes me feel good.

There's not much to say.

How long have you been seeing her?

About a month.

It was the first time I did these things.

And what made you do it?

An absurd reason.

Come on, tell me.

I want to know.

I read a book.

You’re a book reader?

It was back in high school.

At that age they force you to like books,

even if your mind is elsewhere.

No one changes their life because of a book.

Tell me the truth. What happened?

My father took his own life 2 years ago.

And I understood that half of the things I did,

them only to please him and the world around him.

I didn't want to end up like that.

I thought I could tell reality
the way that book did, but

I can't write, so

I thought I could live it.

But in my own way.

An unexpected turn for you.

What else have you learned?

Economics depends as much on economists,

as time depends on weather forecasts.

How do you know that?

It's a quote from Kaufman.

Listen to this one.

Money is not the most important thing,

but its lack prevents us

from taking care of the most important things.

But in that case, you’re still a slave.

Exactly.

You decide what the most important things are.

Society imposes rules on us,

but we are the ones who set society up.

So we can change them.

How and when it’s always your choice.

Are you really sure about what you’re doing?

What's that thing where the
more there is, the less you see?

5, 4,

3, 2, 1.

The dark.

It's time to tell this story,
and maybe change the ending.
