NETFLIX PRESENTS

["Ave Maria" by Bach playing on piano]

[woman whispering]
Thank you. Thanks for coming.

- Thank you. Hi.
- [indistinct chatter]

Giada.

[woman's breath trembling]

[Giada] You have no idea how sorry I am.

I know. I know.

[woman 2 whispering] Will he be playing?
Did you say something to convince him?

[woman] No. I didn't.
I think he convinced himself.

Giulio could be defined
not only as a teacher of astrophysics,

but Giulio was astrophysics.

Because my papa... my father...

wasn't just a... a man...

I'm sorry. I just can't do this.

I'm graduating this year
and it's thanks to him.

[woman 3] He was a father to me.

A friend, a teacher.

Everything, basically.

The only thing he never managed to do
is what he's doing now.

Leaving me alone.

[footsteps receding]

- [door opens]
- Our dear brother Giulio,

all the words
we have just heard only confirm...

[man] Excuse me.

Excuse me.

[chuckles]

I would really like to say something.

[crowd murmuring]

[bags rustling]

[footsteps approaching]

[sighs]

My father's time is over.

That's what we're all here celebrating.
Aren't we?

However, you wanna know something?

That's not true
because time doesn't exist.

The clearest memory I have of him

is when he would try
and explain this absurd thing to me.

"Time and space
are concepts that don't exist,

and what has been will always be

due to the different perception
of time relative to...

where we are."

So,

I never did
get my head around it. [chuckles]

He would tell me
that behind this mystery was God.

So, in the end,

did you unravel this mystery, Professor?

[inaudible]

[man] What I've discovered instead,

is that time and space do actually exist.

And what you do leaves a mark,

Professor Costa.

[dramatic orchestral music playing]

At times,
I've felt like a Martian on this Earth.

Therefore, if time doesn't exist,
as you said,

I don't have to say farewell.

If space doesn't exist,

it means you are not here.

You are, you were, and you will be,
or on another planet, of course.

And I'll remain here,

in this time, in this space.

Carrying your mark.

[dramatic music playing]

I don't believe you didn't feel anything
seeing him after 20 years. Come on.

[woman] What do you think?

[bells ringing]

Does it seem normal
to put on such a show in church?

What the hell?
Who shows up dressed like that?

Who cares what he was wearing?

Plus, I'm sorry, but he was much better

than all the formal words
of his colleagues.

It was nice of Giada to come.
I didn't expect that.

Anyway, I'd have liked
to have at least said "hello."

I don't remember stopping you.

No. You just asked me
to take his majesty to the car.

- Didn't you see he was ready to go?
- Yeah.

- Did you?
- But I...

- [woman] Oh my God. Where is he?
- I don't know.

Oh God, Carolina. [gasps]
My God. Where is he?

- I wasn't gonna lock him in.
- Where did he go? Sebastiano!

[exhales]

[bells ringing]

I understood what you said earlier,
by the way.

[pew creaks]

Oh yeah?

Really?

Yes, yes. Um, so you also feel like you...

you feel like a Martian.

Yeah.

For my whole life.

Forever for me too.

No. I mean, not forever,
but since I figured out how things work.

So we have something in common.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Uh, today, I...

I brought this, I don't...

I don't know why.

It's about us, anyway.

Uh, I mean it's...

If you've read it already... I don't know.
If... I haven't read it. It's yours.

It's about us?

Yes.

[chuckles]

In what sense?

About us Martians.

Right?

- Yes.
- Yeah.

Well, it's not my kind of book.
I'll read it later.

Hey. But listen.

You must be one of my father's students?

What are you? A future scientist?

You guys are a weird bunch. Yeah?

- No. I'm...
- Sebastiano?

Come on, love. Let's go back to the car.

- Come. Come.
- Tesla.

No. Hang on, Mom. Wait. Wait.

Who's that? Who is he?

Who is he, really?

- [Tesla] You can tell me in the car.
- He told me... He told me I was weird.

We're going to the car.

He told me I'm weird. He told me that...

[Tesla] He makes a scene all the time.

It was a misunderstanding. Come on.

[sighs]

[bells ringing]

Have I changed that much or did you
pretend not to recognize me in the church?

[indistinct chatter]

Welcome back, Nik. I'm happy to see you.

I have nothing to say.

[piano music playing]

Hey. Come on.

We could've let him sleep here since
it would've only been for a few days.

The door!

So then what about your brother?

We almost had a major meltdown
at the church, Carolina.

Tesla, what meltdown?
You act like he has the plague.

I don't want Nik to know about it. Okay?

No. You don't want anyone
to know about it.

I'm just trying to protect him.

Anyway, that means something.
He came here just for the funeral.

[Tesla] Listen to me.

Your uncle doesn't give a shit
about Grandpa.

You don't know him.

As soon as we open the will
and he gets his money,

God willing,
he will vanish again as he's always done.

Maybe this time he won't.

And maybe he will.

[scoffs]

And, hopefully, fast.

["The Flower Duet" by Léo Delibes playing]

[inaudible]

[inaudible]

[inaudible]

[bells ringing]

[footsteps approaching]

Thank you.

Seriously, thank you.

Oh. I don't mind. It's no big deal.

[chuckles] I think you know what I mean.

Look. I'm only trying to persuade

the most talented cellist
at the conservatory to play with me.

[chuckles] Of course.

All he's thinking about right now
is that mission to Mars.

[Tesla] And these fixations
can last months.

Then with Dad's death...

[sighs]

Hey.

I pictured your brother differently.
You know?

Yeah. Same.

If only... you know.

[dramatic music playing]

["The Flower Duet" playing]

[indistinct muffled chatter]

...you've never used it. Right, Tesla?

Huh? What? Sorry?

[sighs]

- Hey, Carolina.
- She doesn't listen.

What were you saying?
Tell me what you said.

I was telling Emma that the profile
I created for you two months ago

has more followers than mine.

- Again?
- You're going strong.

I'll never use it.

You look so beautiful here, Tesla.

Would you stop that, please?

God, Tesla. You act like I signed you up
to be an escort. Hmm?

And there's nothing wrong with that.

You kidding? You have no idea
what a fatal risk she would run

by meeting someone,
relaxing, making new friends,

and taking a break from breathing
down Sebastiano's neck for a day.

- Hmm?
- [sighs]

It's not for me.

Excuse me. Please. Now.
You keep eating. Don't worry about me.

Mm. We finished a while ago.

We have.

[dog barking]

[seagulls squawking]

[siren wailing]

Oh. [inhales]

- A joint?
- Nik, please no.

- I'm joking.
- God.

Morning.

[Tesla] Good morning.

Good morning, Tesla.

- Hi.
- Hi, Federico.

- My condolences to you.
- Thank you.

You must be Nikola. Right?

Federico Valmonte.
I was a friend of your father.

Hi.

[Federico sighs]

Well, I have to say, I've always
been amused by the choice of your names.

Nikola, Tesla.

Yeah. Only a brilliant mind
like the professor's could come up

with giving you the name
of a physicist such as Nikola Tesla,

but split between you both.

- [Nik] Yeah. Okay.
- [Federico laughs]

Could we get started?

Yeah. [clears throat]

[contemplative music playing]

[Sebastiano] Three more have signed up.

[keyboard clacking]

From Iceland.

You know them?

Why aren't you responding?

Why don't you respond?

[Federico] "I hereby declare to dispose
of my assets upon my death as follows."

"I leave my camper
to my granddaughter Carolina,

and I gave my cello
to my grandson Sebastiano."

"And, finally, I leave my flat in Rome
at 6 San Giovanni Fabri Street,

block A, apartment three, to Costa, Tesla,

born in Rome on November 17th, 1972,

jointly with my son Costa, Nikola,
born in Rome on June 25th, 1970,

which they can share equally
as best as they see fit in this moment."

"I hereby declare that I am
in possession of no other assets,

either registered or referred to me."

Signed, Dr. Giulio Costa.

No. Hang on.

That's not possible.

You must have skipped
a few pages. Check again.

No, Tesla. That's all. Nothing else.

What do you mean "nothing else"?
No. Excuse me. Excuse me... Okay, but...

He's always said
that he'd leave the house to me

and his bank account to him.
What's going on?

Evidently, before dying,
he decided to do something different.

[breathes deeply]

What happens now?

We can't leave that house, Federico.
We can't. It's not... There's no way.

It wouldn't...

Tell me there's an alternative.
Please? Please?

[breathes sharply]

Why are you doing this?

Hmm?

[chuckles quietly] Me?

Where can I go with two kids
that I provide for?

How would I know?

Sell the house, and with the money
you make you'll buy another one.

- What the fuck?
- You're so selfish!

You don't give a damn about anyone!

- You never give a damn...
- No, no, no. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

There's something else
I'm supposed to give you.

Legally, it's not part of the will.

So, we can say this was his last wish.

Please. Open it.

"Dear Tesla."

[Sebastiano] You were wrong
and I was right. Okay?

I was right from the very beginning.
I was always right.

I told you he's not a spy.

He's not a spy. No. He's my uncle.

He's Uncle Nik. Yes.

[grunting]

Kelvin, stop. Stop. Please.

You understand?
So we have nothing to worry about. Stop.

Yes. We have nothing to worry about.

[Federico]
He gave them to me already sealed.

And he asked me to give them to you
only after the reading of his will.

I'm not aware of their contents.

Jesus Christ.

I bet the bastard said a prayer for us.

[Nik chuckles]

Oh. The piece of shit.

[chair scrapes]

[door opens, creaks, closes]

What am I supposed to do?
What do I do now?

[water running]

[birds chirping]

[door opens]

[Carolina] How'd it go?

Did he disappear like you said?

No. Unfortunately not.

Why "unfortunately"?

Because your grandfather
didn't leave any money, Carolina.

- He only left the house.
- [keys jangling]

So what?

And so...

and so we either sell it
and split it in half with your uncle...

or this.

What's this?

Hmm?

It's your grandfather's last wish.

Oh. I almost forgot. He left you a camper.

- A camper?
- A camper. Yes. A camper.

Hmm.

No way. So Uncle Nik
is supposed to move in with us?

Well, but legally, you're not obligated.

Legally or not, that's how it is.

That's how it is.

Well, he might not agree to that, though.

Or he will. Now that he knows
he's not getting a single euro,

maybe he's hoping
to start a new life here.

- What a mess.
- Yeah. A real mess.

A year is a long time.

So what are we going to do?
We only have three rooms in this place.

The rooms aren't the problem, Carolina.
Don't you think about your brother?

I mean, come on.

You know well that any kind of change...
any kind of change can cause a crisis.

Let alone a stranger living in the house.

Well, first of all, he's not a stranger,
he's his uncle, Tesla.

Then once you explain the situation...

No. I don't want Nik
to know about him. Okay?

- But won't it be fine?
- We'll tell him he's depressed.

Because of... because of Grandpa.

And it's best to ignore him.

For a year?

Tesla, go get your head checked.

The situation is already complicated,
but a whole year?

- It's not very stable.
- [doorbell rings]

I know what's best for him, Carolina!

[doorbell rings]

- [sighs]
- [doorbell ringing repeatedly]

Incredible.

The house still smells
the same as it did 20 years ago.

[scoffs]

No. It won't work. It won't work.

- No. No.
- Even if it's... it's different. Yeah?

Yeah, yeah. I-I can see your touch.

You've managed to make it even...

even more boring.

Listen.

Let's clear some things up right now.

- Okay?
- Hmm.

Hi, Seba.

Sorry.

Nik.

This is our home.

You're only a temporary guest,
and not because I chose it.

Yeah, yeah. But you're starting
from the wrong premise

because legally, this is my house too.
It was in our father's will. Wasn't it?

So?

Where's my room?

[Tesla sighs]

I see the blue sofa's still here.
Good job not throwing it away.

Bravo.

- [Tesla] Why are you pushing my buttons?
- [Nik] I'm teasing.

[Tesla] Yes. Tell me.
Do you like it so much?

- [Nik] I wanna know we can make it work.
- [Tesla] You enjoy provoking me?

[Nik] By the way,
the blue sofa is super comfortable. Yeah.

[Tesla] I don't know how we can
make it work. Sleep there. You like it?

- Sleep on it. Okay?
- [Carolina] You can stop arguing.

Uncle Nik can have my bedroom.

- [Nik] There you go.
- What? What are you saying?

A year on the sofa?
Have you thought about this?

No. You don't get it.
I'm just gonna move out.

- [Nik sighs]
- Hmm?

Are you joking? Where will you go?

I don't know. I'll figure it out.
It doesn't concern you.

Carolina, please.
Can you please put the bag down?

Can you put it down? This is already
difficult. Extremely complicated.

Now this? What do you want?
Do you wanna punish me?

Tesla, why do you always
have to make it about you? Huh?

I'm not doing it to punish you.
I'm doing it for me.

Yeah? Anyway, it doesn't matter
if I'm in this house anymore.

[Tesla] What are you talking about?

What about your brother?

Nice seeing you again. Bye, Uncle Nik.

No. Wait, wait, wait.

If the problem is the blue sofa,

then your mom can take it.

Bye, Tesla. As soon as I can,
I'll come back to pick up my clothes.

Hey, Carolina. Hey.

[Carolina]
Don't touch anything in my bedroom.

Come back, Carolina. Please? Come back.

- Let's talk for a moment.
- [door closes]

Why'd she call you Tesla?

Oh, fuck off.

["You Are Wherever You Go"
by Renata Malinconico playing]

[Carolina sighs] This should be it.

I'm not sure what I expected from him,
but it wasn't that he'd leave me a camper.

[Emma] I think it's super cool.

Who knows?
Maybe he knew I was going to leave soon.

Hey.

Feel free to come in. Okay?

[Emma] Your grandpa was a strange guy.

Hmm. Definitely.

I mean, even those surprise letters.
You know?

Did you read them?

- Only Tesla's.
- What did it say?

Well, basically, since money
doesn't bring happiness, but love does,

before selling the house
where she and Uncle Nik had grown up,

he begged them
to live there together for a year,

but only then they would make a decision.

- A year?
- Mm-hmm.

You can understand I wasn't going
to stay another minute there.

[Nik] Good evening.

[song ends]

- What's for dinner?
- Get that smelly sweatshirt off that.

[Nik sighs]

And also, I'm sure
I've specifically asked you

to take your shoes off
when you come in the house, Nik.

[shoe clatters]

I swear on my children that if you
leave them there, I'll burn them.

Are we gonna fight for a whole year?

That's a bad idea.

[burner clicking]

One of us will eventually give up.

You know I won't.

So let's have a truce,
at least for dinner.

If you tell me where the pots are,
I'll make some pasta.

A carbonara or something.

No. Listen.

Uh.

Sebastiano eats in his bedroom,
and I'm not hungry.

Yeah. I really miss the cheerful,
homey atmosphere this family has. Yeah.

- I'll grab something alone.
- Hey.

What we share, you and I, from now on,
is nothing more than a roof.

- [Nik sighs]
- I'm not going shopping for you, Nik.

Yeah.

Fair enough.

Listen. I didn't see Paolo at the funeral.
How come?

We got divorced eight years ago.

Or rather...

he left, back then.

He met a new woman
and had children with her.

He lives in Turin.

Fuck. How come?

You missed out on many things, Nik.

That's true. But I'm not the only one.

Give me that.
I'll take dinner to my nephew.

- No, no. Leave it.
- Can I?

- No. Leave it.
- Come on.

By the way, what's he got against me?
It's like he's scared of me.

Sebastiano's not scared.
He isn't scared of anything.

Sebastiano's just an emotional
and sensitive child,

who's going through
a difficult time. Okay?

So the more we leave him alone,
the better.

And I'll take his dinner to him. Got it?

["Allegro non troppo e molto maestoso"
by Tchaikovsky playing loudly]

[Tesla] Are you crazy, or what?
Turn that music down!

Ah, fuck! Cover yourself! Cover up!

- Why?
- Because you're naked, obviously.

It's the bathroom.

Turn that music down.

Sebastiano can't sleep with that noise.

- Did he ask you to tell me?
- Turn it down!

[Nik] Hmm.

Come on, Tesla. It's only nine o' clock.
You're being ridiculous.

That's the interpretation
conducted by Piris.

One of the best recent recorded versions.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Okay. Go to your room, my love.

No, no, no, no. You're close, but...

No. That's impossible. I can't be wrong.

- I'm sorry. I can't be wrong.
- It's the version by Angel.

I-I'll give it to you tomorrow
if you want.

- He'll give it to you tomorrow.
- He'll give it to me tomorrow. Okay.

That's it.

[Nik grunts]

He didn't look
like he was trying to sleep.

- You're such a dickhead, Nik.
- Mm-hmm.

And put some clothes on!

[sighs]

[breathes deeply, moans]

I WAS IN HERE!

[piano music playing]

[pages flipping]

- May I?
- Yeah. Of course.

I was just on the phone with your mom.

She's feeling very hurt that you left.

Obviously, I didn't tell her
you wanted to sleep in the camper,

otherwise she would've done
everything in her power to stop you.

I could sleep in there no problem. Okay?

Plus, I really don't wanna
bother you here.

Carolina, I'm happy to have you here.

Sebastiano?

He must be mad I left.

No. Your mother didn't mention anything.

And anyway Carolina, hasn't he
been feeling a bit better lately?

Oh yeah. He wants to move to Mars.

Because wanting to move
to Mars is totally normal.

[breathes deeply]

- Right.
- Thanks, Emma.

But I don't want to sit here
and dump all of my family problems on you.

Carolina...

it's okay.

Good night.

- [Emma] Hmm.
- Night.

HI, DAD. WE LOST GRANDPA TODAY.

DAD WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO HEAR FROM YOU?

OFFLINE

[Sebastiano] Kitesurfing. Yes.

Okay. It's an excuse.

- Well, what about classical music, then?
- [Nik groans]

[Sebastiano] I don't know. I don't know.

So, I'm, uh...

Well, okay. Hang on. Hold on.

Stop.

What are you trying to say?

Okay. So it's just a way to...
A way for him to gain my trust?

Okay.

I got it. I got it. I got it.

Yes. That's it. That's it.

Okay. So what do I do?

Should I confront him and tell him...
I-I'll tell him,

"I know they've sent you.
They've sent you. You're not my uncle."

Shall I tell him that? I'll tell him that,
tell him, "I know you're not my uncle."

[Tesla] Good morning, darling.

- Let's open the window.
- No.

Don't.

- Don't do it.
- No. I won't do it.

I brought your breakfast
and I've left lunch in the kitchen.

Sebastiano,

would you do Mom a favor? Huh?

Will you take a shower
and get changed today for me?

Can you promise me?

I wanted to stay home,
but there's a teachers' meeting

and I can't miss it.

But I'll be back soon. Got it?

Sebastiano, look at me.

If you need anything,

call me or Carolina.

Leave Uncle Nik alone. Okay?

Bye, love.

[Sebastiano grunts]

Kel...

Kelvin, it's always the same story.
I told you... I told you, you must...

No. I have to take one, Kelvin.

I have to take one. Not all of them,
but I have to take one. Got it?

Got it.

[whispering]
Yes. I told you I need to take it. Got it?

[whispering] I have to take it.

Mm. Look. See? Yeah.
They... they leave us alone.

I'm off to work.

I wrote down a few rules of the house
and some useful numbers for you.

Among those useful phone numbers

can any of them teach you
to say "good morning"?

[Nik sighs]

So when was he diagnosed
with schizophrenia?

[Nik breathes deeply]

Tesla. Ugh.

- I spent the whole night on the Internet.
- The Internet is full of bullshit.

But I wonder if you read
that any changes to his daily routine

could be detrimental to him.
Did you read that?

Fuck, daily routine. I'm your brother.

That so?

So how long ago?

Five years.

- Five years?
- Yeah. About five years.

Okay. You know, I get it,

but you can't just hide
something like that.

And why not? Why?

Would you have suddenly remembered
that you had a sister?

That you had a family, Nik?

And even if I wanted to, how could I?

I didn't even know where you were living.

You never answer the phone.

Okay. But I'm here now.

So you're never planning
on telling me? Why?

- [scoffing] Why?
- Yeah.

Because I'm tired of explaining myself
and the pitying respect.

Because the word "schizophrenia" itself,
Nik, is scary. You know?

And it's not just the... j-just the looks
of the people who pity you,

or those who wanna teach you how to live,
or those you have to apologize to

because "Ma'am, do you know
your kid is saying strange things?"

"Your kid is doing strange things, ma'am.
Do you know?"

So yeah. I'm fed up.

I don't have the time or the will
to explain, to apologize.

Enough! My only job is to protect him
from everything and everyone. Understand?

Let's sit and talk.

[Tesla's breath trembling]

- Please.
- [bell rings]

[Tesla breathes deeply]

Please, Nik,

don't make me worry.

Leave Sebastiano alone. Leave him alone.

Okay.

[door opens]

Okay. We're alone now.
Tell me who you are. Tell me who you are.

What... Who... What do you want from me?

- [Nik] I...
- I've been too straightforward.

I've been too straightforward.
I knew it. I've been too straightforward.

No, no, no. You haven't been
too straightforward. Let's talk.

S-Sebastiano.

Let's talk about it.

[funk music playing]

- Good morning.
- Hey. Good morning.

You're up early today.

Mm. Uh.
There's some coffee left if you want it.

Thank you.

[Emma clears throat]

[mug clatters]

[silverware clanks]

[chair sliding]

They're beautiful.

You like them?

Mmm.

Are you still planning
to sleep in the camper?

Actually, last night I had another idea.

One that I think is not so insane.

Mm. What?

[cell phone chimes]

Oh God. Pass me the phone. Please?

I'm sure it's Sebastiano
asking me to come back.

No. It's Tesla.

Hi, love. I know you don't
wanna hear from me,

but Nik has found out everything,
and now he's alone with Sebastiano.

Can you please go home and check on him?
Please, Carolina?

You understand?

It's normal for her to worry, Caro.

[cell phone chimes]

Hi, Tesla. Good morning.

Didn't I tell you it was a shitty idea
to hide it from him? Yeah.

Anyway, you're in luck, as I was
going home anyway to pick up my clothes.

I will check, but I'd really appreciate it

if you didn't involve me
in your stupid fixations.

- Thank you.
- [phone chimes]

Well? What's wrong?

I don't know, Carolina. I don't know.

I think you should sort this thing out
with your mother, sooner or later.

Because I don't call her "mama"?
I just can't bring myself to say it.

Come on. I'm being serious.

Whatever.

Listen. Would you mind going home with me?

I think if you're there
Sebastiano won't be so angry.

I'm sorry. But why would Seba
be upset with you?

I'm pretty sure
he already misses you a lot.

[contemplative music playing]

Yeah, yeah. This is all amazing, but...
[inhales deeply]

...I would be terrified
to go to Mars, if I knew

that I wouldn't be able
to come back to Earth.

- But you're not?
- I'm scared too.

Oh? So why are you going?
You're not forced to.

No. It's not possible,

'cause who'd take classical music
up there if I didn't? I have to take it.

Right. I get it. Of course.

[Nik sighs]

Commitment's a commitment.

[Sebastiano] Yes.

You didn't know anything?

[Nik] No. Believe me. I didn't.

So how come...

how come the other day when you were
at the funeral you said those things?

Why did you say that?

I don't know. It just came out.

Look, ask me about the sea, the wind,

reefs, beautiful women,

but not about space, stars, and sky
because I don't understand shit.

No. Because you wanted to be...

you wanted to be a musician,
not an astronomer.

I remember Grandfather telling me
about you. And he would say...

he would say you were amazing
at playing the piano.

And when he said that, he cried. He cried.

Okay.

I'll leave you to your job.
I'll look for one at the beach.

No one looks for a job at the beach.

Well, I do.

Why don't you come along?

No.

I can't go to the beach with you.

Huh. Right. Another time.

Yes. Another time.

Hmm. Some Earth light.

Are you convinced now? Are you convinced?

[door opens]

Yes. I told you. Yes. I told you.
You have to trust me.

You understand? You have to trust me.

[door closes]

Enough.

Look. If you keep nagging me like that,
I'll go with him. Stop it.

[dischordant low humming]

Hey, Seba.

Where were you going?

[door creaks, closes]

Nowhere. What are you doing here?

I came to pick up my clothes. Emma's here.

Say hi.

Hi, Seba.

No, no, no. It's not rehearsal time.
It's not rehearsal time now.

No worries. I'm not here to rehearse.
I just came to help your sister.

Who sent you? Mama?

- No. Absolutely not.
- No.

Hmm. What was it you said
about him missing me?

[footsteps receding]

[kids shouting, laughing]

Are you following me?

What are the options?

What do I have to do to convince you
I have nothing to say to you?

How come you're still here?

Not your business.

I'll give you a ride and you can tell me.

[rock music playing]

Considering my current life situation,

I'm going to need more money
to support myself. Right?

Right. So?

Okay. So, having a great passion
for fashion, taste,

and a few contacts, there's only
one thing I was still missing up till now.

A rich sponsor?

A shop.

And now I have one.

Where?

Right here.

If clients don't come to me,
I'll go to them.

[Emma] Basically,
stalking for commercial purposes.

What a brilliant idea.
You know, it might actually work.

How are you planning to do that?

With help from a friend.

Go get changed.

[rock music playing]

I don't know.

Kitesurfing doesn't sound
like a good enough reason

to cut all your ties so permanently.

That's what I've always thought
about it too.

But whenever he was brought up,
she immediately would change the subject.

I imagined he got to a point

where he could no longer handle
his father's pressure,

who I heard
was too demanding of his children.

[Emma] He didn't seem like that with you.

[Carolina] We were his grandkids.
Everything was easier with us.

I guess he had far too many
expectations for his children.

And both of them reacted
in very different ways.

[Emma] That doesn't mean
you leave everything behind

to go after the sun and sea forever.

[Carolina] It also doesn't mean
you live your life like a jail sentence.

After all, we're all responsible
for our own choices.

[Emma] That's my point.
Your mother has raised a family.

What has your uncle done?

What does he have? A kiteboard?

[Carolina] Well, maybe
that's all he needs to be happy.

[Emma] Mm. No. I don't believe it.

Living on the other side of the planet,
alone, no stable relationship?

[Carolina] You can still feel lonely
even if you have a family.

And sometimes, given the alternatives,
a kiteboard might be better company.

What do you think?

I think it's pretty good.

[Emma] You're officially in business.
We should celebrate.

[chuckles] Don't say anything yet
to Tesla and Seba. Please? Okay?

Oh God. Seba. What time is it?
I was supposed to rehearse with him.

Okay. Bye.

I mean,
so I'm the only Italian going to Mars.

That's cool.

[chuckles]

No, no. I would never...

Uh. No. I would never give up
for love like he did.

Well...

I mean, Emma is pretty, but I don't...

I don't... I don't...

[Tesla] Sebastiano? Hi, love.

[footsteps approaching]

You okay?

Bravo.

Do you see how beautiful it is outside?

[birds chirping]

You okay with Uncle Nik?

I'll take this.

Will you take a nice shower
before rehearsal with Emma?

[footsteps receding]

With all the stuff we've got to do,
all I need now is the concert.

A pain.

What a pain. [sighs]

[footsteps approaching]

Hi.

Who are you?

Sebastiano, are you not taking a shower?

No. Someone's in the bathroom.

Is it Uncle Nik?

No. It's being used by a... a naked woman.

- A woman?
- A naked woman.

- A naked woman?
- Yes.

A naked woman?

[Tesla gasps]

Oh my God.

Excuse me. Who are you?

Ambra. Hi.

Lovely robe, by the way.

Is it yours? I'm sorry.
I didn't wanna flood the whole house.

[clattering in distance]

Nik.

Nik!

[Nik] Yeah?

Nik!

[Nik] What're you yelling for?
I'm here. What is it?

- Who is that?
- [Nik] Huh?

Who's the woman in my bathroom?
Who is she?

Ah. Our bathroom, to be exact.

Her name is Ambra. Yes. Her name is Ambra.

Oh. Okay. She's Ambra.

- Of course. Right.
- Yeah.

What were you thinking?

Listen, it's our bathroom, our home,
and I can invite whoever I want.

Yes.

After you being naked, now a naked woman
who's wearing my robe. Disgusting.

Can I say "my robe,"
or are we sharing that too?

She's not a woman. Her name is Ambra.

Try and say it, "Ambra."

Do I need to explain to you
that this isn't a nudist beach?

Understand, or need a sign? Do you know
it was Sebastiano who found her?

- Did you know?
- Yeah? And?

Oh yeah, because you don't understand.

You don't know how stressful it is for him
to find a stranger in his personal space.

You don't know.

- A naked woman. Naked!
- Yeah?

Yeah. He's 20.

In fact, he might've liked it.

Anyway, listen.
He doesn't seem so stressed to me.

The only stressed person here is you.
And you understand why?

Oh yeah? Why? Tell me.

- Well, 'cause you're always on edge...
- Why? No. Tell me. Why? Tell me!

- [kissing]
- [Ambra] I'll see you at the beach.

- Thanks for the robe, by the way.
- You're welcome.

- I left it in the room. Will you grab it?
- Yes.

- Bye. [kisses]
- [scoffs]

You see? She's family, practically.

- What else do you want?
- [door opens]

I can't do this.

I won't survive a year like this.
Are you kidding me? [sighs]

Instead of asking yourself
whether you can handle me,

why don't you ask if we can handle you?

And I'm not alone on that!

- Fuck!
- [dramatic music playing]

[Tesla] We were doing just fine
before the return of the prodigal son.

- [Tesla] You know that?
- [Nik] Sure. Just fine.

That seems like an accurate
description for this family.

- Just like in fairy tales.
- [doorbell rings]

Hi.

I'm so sorry, Tesla.
I'm terribly late today. I'm sorry.

[Tesla sighs]

What's with the long face?

No. It's nothing. I just had
a little fight with my brother.

How's Carolina?

Carolina is fine.

She says hello.

Yeah, right. [scoffs]

Tesla, you can't go on like this.

I mean, the two of you.

I'm tired.

No matter what I do with her
or anyone, it's always wrong.

I'll get Sebastiano.

Thank you.

[piano music playing]

[Emma] Okay, Seba.
For the theme of this sonata,

I'll start with the piano,
as in the original version.

Then after two beats,
you will come in with the cello.

How about we at least try
the opening of the piece?

No.

- Just the solo.
- No, no. I can't rehearse today.

I can't rehearse.

Okay. No worries, then.

It means we aren't going
to rehearse today. Hmm?

No. I have to... I have to go. Excuse me.

[piano music playing]

- [Nik] Hi.
- Hi.

- You are...
- Emma.

Emma. Of course.

Why are you leaving?

- Am I not allowed?
- You can if you want.

However, since I always get
an extra pizza, para compartir,

as they do in Costa Rica,
perhaps if you're happy with a margherita?

Why? Do you live in Costa Rica?

Yeah. That's where
I do kitesurfing and other stuff.

How about it?

- How about what?
- The margherita.

Listen. You'd be the first person
I invite over to my place.

[chuckles] Yes. No. No.

Mm. Really,
I just said goodbye to everyone.

I don't think it's a good idea
to go back in. You know?

I don't want Sebastiano to think
I'm trying to put pressure on him.

Don't worry. You're the last person
who could put pressure on Sebastiano.

Trust me. Come on.
The pizzas are getting cold.

No. Please. Really.

I promised to join Carolina,
I mean, after the lesson.

- Thank you.
- Is Carolina okay?

Well. Yeah. Carolina's well.

She's going through
a big moment of change.

- Hmm.
- You know? And...

- But she's fine.
- Well, tell her I'm sorry.

I think she'd be happier
if you told her yourself.

Okay. I'll tell her. But now let's go in
before the pizzas get cold.

Hey. I'm back!

[Emma chuckles]

Oh no! The beers. Shit.

I even paid for them. What a jerk!

- [door closes]
- Tesla!

I hope you didn't cook.
I got pizza for everyone.

- [pizza boxes hit table]
- [Nik] Et voilà!

I told him it wasn't a good idea, but...

Here it is. Margherita with a heap
of basil, rigorously fresh for you.

Capricciosa for our little Sebastiano.

Capricciosa for me.

And for our guest...

Thank you.

...a Margherita pizza, a compartir.

[Sebastiano] How did it go at work?

Good. Great. I'm a replacement.
Nothing special, but...

- [pizza crunching]
- [muffled] ...better than nothing.

Why don't you come next time?
So you'll see.

Yes. I want... I want to go with you.

Yeah. I'll show you my kite.

- [Nik] Yeah. Good.
- [Sebastiano] I'll go with him.

["Letting It Flow"
by Chiara Castiglione playing]

Can I try yours? Shall we swap slices?

Yeah? Hmm?

[Nik sniffles]

The glasses...

I'll get them.

[camera shutter clicking]

NEW VOICE MESSAGE
LISTEN

[Tesla] Hi, darling.
This must be my millionth call.

I only talk to you
with voice messages now.

You know Sebastiano ate
at the dinner table with us tonight?

And you? How are you?

- Why are you here?
- Caro.

Don't worry. Emma told only me.

I just came to tell you... [exhales]

...that I'm sorry I caused you
so many problems.

I mean, basically...

you left as soon as I arrived, so...

Well, you didn't cause me any problems.

[Nik] Oh.

In fact, you maybe just
gave me the push I needed.

Well, sure. But if I'd been around
all these... Sorry. Can you stop?

Stop.

Hey.

If I'd been around all these years,
maybe things would've been better.

Or worse.

[quietly] So, I'm sorry.

I mean... And what could you have done?

Been there for you.

I'm not joking! If you still look the same
as you did in this photo,

I swear I have nothing else to wish for.

[Nik] Finally, this camper has a meaning.

Yeah?

Yeah. I mean...

Your grandpa
gave this camper to my mother.

She said she always wanted
to feel at home, all of us together.

Even on a trip.

So...

we would spend our holiday
traveling in this camper

until one day she fell ill
and died immediately after.

And your grandpa didn't want to use it.

- [motorcycle engine revving]
- [Nik exhales]

She'd be happy now
to see what you've done with it.

My mother would be happy with it now.

So now it's up to you.

Make it travel. Yeah.
Make this home travel.

[sighs] I can't do whatever I want.

It's easy to say.

University and Seba. How can I do it?

I can't do what I want. It's impossible.

- Yes, you can.
- No.

It's your path. It's your life.

You can't let others decide
for you what to do.

Is that what you did?

Well, I'm not like you.

Yes.

Indeed. You're definitely better.

[soft guitar music playing]

- Can I have a look inside?
- Mm-hmm.

Uncle Nik?

Thank you.

[car honking]

[Federico] Today, I'm supposed
to give you a letter he left for you,

which I am doing right now.

Well, you must admit,
your grandfather loved surprises.

[Giada] After what happened,
I thought that I...

[indistinct chatter]

...I'd managed to get over it.

For years I've carried on with my life,
convinced I had been able to forget you.

But then all it took was seeing you.

Yeah.

Well, then...

So, you've shed all your tears,

and you told me all you wanted
to tell me, but now stop it. Really.

- I mean it.
- [dog barking]

If only because

while you thought you'd gotten over it,
you married another man. Didn't you?

Just a minor detail. Right?

I wanted you. I've always wanted you!

Yeah.

[Giada] Please.
Tell me you felt nothing when you saw me.

[child giggles]

I felt... sadness.

That's not true.

You can't lie. Not to me.

Please, Nik. We still have time.

Hey. Let me go.

Come on. Nobody like that can exist...

[hip-hop music playing]

[basketball rim rattling loudly]

Hey! What the fuck are you doing?

Stop it. You're making
an insane amount of noise. Come on.

Can you believe it? After 20 years
this ball still looks exactly the same.

Isn't it wonderful? Brava.

I thought you'd thrown it away,
but you left it in the same closet.

Listen. If this is a "remember
when we were kids" moment, forget it.

[Nik] You're such a pain in the ass.

No. So tonight's actually the
"I'm not going to get any sleep" night.

- Do you have to wake the whole building?
- [Nik] Yeah.

[Nik sharply exhales]

Show me what you got. Come on.

Wow. Impressive! [chuckles]

[Nik] Close your legs!

- Awesome.
- [Tesla] You're just lucky.

[Nik] She's trying her usual fake out!
Her usual fake out!

Aiming at the left, turning right.
He knows that!

[Tesla] Yes!

- [Tesla chuckles]
- [music stops abruptly]

[man] What are you doing?

I've fucking had it with you two!

There are people here
who are going to work tomorrow.

[Nik] I told her.

[Tesla] I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

Go, go! Go to bed! Go to bed! Go to bed!

- Tesla, we've fucking had it with you!
- You damn shit!

Come on. One last shot and we'll go.

- Let's go. Come on. Enough, Nik.
- Come on. Go, go, go.

- Stop it. Let's go.
- One more.

Enough. Enough.

- [Nik] Oh!
- [Tesla] Nik!

[Sebastiano]
So I'll put this one right here.

[Nik] No.

No, no. Wait. This one.

See, this should go here,
in with the Romantics. Right?

Oh. Okay. Okay.

Okay.

How about the "Cello Suite no. 1" by Bach?

Yes. I included it.

And?

What about the cello?

Will you bring it?

No. I-I don't know. I don't know.

Oh God. What if they
don't let me take it? What do I do?

What do I do if they don't let me take it?

Wait. I'll tell them that I must take it,

because if they don't allow me
to take it, then I can't play.

No, no, no.
Calm down. Calm down. Calm down.

Take a break. Take advantage. You play it.

And, I mean, I'd love to hear you play.

No. I...

When I was your age, I wouldn't have
wasted a day without playing the piano.

Not true.

That's not true, because if it was,
you'd have continued playing.

[emotional orchestral music playing]

[Nik continues playing]

[cello joins piano playing]

[crickets chirping]

[footsteps approaching]

I don't know how you did it.

But thanks.

I didn't do anything.

He did it all on his own.

[Tesla sighs]

It's that I always find it moving.

Because

with his cello, it's like
he's able to express himself.

To talk about himself.

You know, Dad, he loved to hear him play.

- Oh yeah?
- Yes.

- He would sit there in the armchair...
- Did he grade his performance?

Do you enjoy it?

Enjoy what?

Spoiling every nice moment.
You've always done that.

Do you enjoy it? Tell me.

- At the end, did he give him a grade?
- Do you enjoy it?

It's late. Hey. It's late.

I must call Emma immediately.
The concert's coming up. You understand?

I mean, now I did it with you,
but I have to do it with her too.

Immediately. Right now.

Bye.

ANSWER

- [wind whooshing]
- [birds chirping]

[indistinct chatter]

[woman] I like those red glasses.
Can I see them?

Sure. I'll get them. Hold on.

- Hello.
- Oh, hello.

I only see you when you come back
at night to sleep these days.

Well, I think you know perfectly well
where you can find me.

I spend every day at your place
rehearsing with your brother.

He played with Nik,
and now he's decided to do the concert.

- It's really important to him.
- Excuse me. Do you have this in a small?

Yes. I'll get one for you.

Listen. I spent ten years of my life
neglecting myself to look after him.

And now, not only does Seba
not look for me anymore,

but an asshole with a kiteboard shows up
and suddenly he's doing a concert?

Yeah. You're right.

Seba has changed a lot since Nik arrived.
Not because he's a wizard.

I changed too,
when I knew about the disease.

I'm overprotective.
Every time I speak, I weigh every word.

Do you understand that, unlike Nik,

we remind him every day that he's ill?

[woman 2] If you don't have the size
it doesn't matter.

Listen, Emma...

I'll let you go.

Bye.

There they are. Sorry.

- [Carolina] You asked for a small. Right?
- [woman 2] Yes.

[Carolina] Let me grab that.

[footsteps approaching]

Ambra doesn't have such big tits.

Don't worry. Seba spent
the whole afternoon in his room.

He didn't notice anything.

[slurping]

Don't you see how pathetic you are?

You are 50, Nik.

Get a life. But do it far from here.

Yeah? You're telling me to get a life?

You?

Who's been living for... How long?

...20 years, with a nice pair
of blinkers on? What life is that?

That's the life of a horse.

No. You're right.

I was waiting for the surfer philosopher
to teach me how to live.

The man with no family,

who has done fuck-all,

is going to reveal
the secret to happiness.

- [Nik] Yeah.
- Hmm.

Accompanied by a nice glass of wine.

And remember, one is never enough.

- [glass clanks]
- Isn't that right?

Well, fuck you.

Instead of always looking
at everyone else,

instead of judging everyone else,
look at yourself.

Oh, fuck off.

Have you realized
Carolina doesn't ever visit?

No. No.

Because you're so stubborn and you have
to keep everything under control,

you convince yourself everything's fine.
A little lie here. A little lie there.

Isn't that it? Just to walk on.

- Are you judging me as a mother?
- Yes.

You shitty coward!

You ran away and didn't give a damn
about anything or anyone for a kite?

Honestly, do you really think
I left because of a fucking kite?

Did it ever occur to you
during all these years,

that I might be the one
who suffered the most?

That I was the one who had
to give up everything! Give up everyone!

- Give up you too!
- Why did you do it, then?

Why did you do it?
Why did you leave? Why? [sobs]

Why did you abandon me?

You left me alone!

I found my future wife
in bed with another man!

What the fuck are you saying?

- It was an affair.
- [Tesla breathes heavily]

Been going on for a really long time.

Not true. Not possible.
Because Giada and I were friends.

She would've told me. It's not true.

It's true because
you believe in this? Right?

- You believe in this? Yeah? And this too?
- No. Stop it.

This is your truth.

- Where the fuck did you put it?
- Stop it! Stop it!

Show me the truth!
What the fuck did you want?

Where do you see it? Come on. Where is it?

[Tesla sobbing]

Oh God.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!
- No, no, no, no, no. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Please. Forgive me. I'm sorry. Forgive me.

[shouts]

[whispering] Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Please, calm down.

[dramatic music playing]

- It's fine.
- [crying] Nik. Nik.

Please. Please, forgive me.
Forgive me. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

- Come on.
- [Tesla sobbing]

[whispering] Sorry.

Breathe, breathe, breathe.

It's all right. All right.

[footsteps approaching]

[Tesla] The medicine?
Have you seen his medicine, Nik?

[Nik] I've got them.
I've got them. They're here.

Oh.

- These?
- Yes.

- Remember, the blue one before lunch...
- And the white one after.

I've been around a while. I know. Anyway...

If you're worried, let's forget about it.

No, no.

Uh. I'm not worried.

Sebastiano hasn't spent
a day at the beach in a while.

And tomorrow he has the concert.
It's normal for me to be a bit tense.

[Nik] Hmm.

He's the one who suggested it,
not me, to do all the checks.

Thanks.

[Nik] Mm-hmm.

By the way, today is my day off,
so I'd be happy just to go by myself.

No, no. It's okay, it's okay.

Sebastiano would be too disappointed.

It's fine.

Why didn't you tell me about Giada?

[Sebastiano] Okay.
I'm ready. Are we going?

- Let's go.
- Let's go.

Yes.

[Tesla] Did you get the towel?

- [Sebastiano] No.
- Yes. I got it.

["Your Brightness"
by Renata Malinconico playing]

[whispering] I said yes.
Stop it. Leave me alone.

Trust me. I made up my mind.
Stop it. Over and out.

Over and out.

- You okay?
- Yes.

Yes. Yes, I'm good.

[sniffs]

Kelvin... Kelvin,
I told you I made up my mind.

Stop it. I know what I'm doing.

Stop it. Trust me, Kelvin.
Trust me. Trust me.

Should we stop?

No. If I tell you something,
do you swear you won't tell anyone?

Yeah.

I'm not going to Mars because I chose to.

I'm going to Mars
because I'm a chosen one.

Oh. Oh, I see.

Nobody knows, but every day,
I talk to Kelvin, who was born on Mars.

And he's the one who assigned me the task
of bringing classical music up there.

Yeah.

I mean, I... At times,
I've had the impression you...

you were talking to someone.

Wait. Really?

- Yeah.
- Really? You had the impre...

- Only sometimes.
- In that case, you mustn't tell anyone.

Stop. You mustn't tell anyone.
Because if you tell...

If... if you... if you tell Mom,
it'll be a big drama.

And she won't allow me to leave for Mars.
I must go to Mars. Do you understand?

- Yeah.
- So you mustn't tell anyone.

- I told you because I trust you.
- Yeah.

You understand?
Promise me you won't tell anyone.

- I promise.
- Promise that... Nobody knows.

You must swear... No. You won't tell anyone.

I swear.

S-Stop! He promised.

Promise... promise you won't tell.

[Nik sighs]

I do.

Yeah.

Okay. I'm not so worried in that case.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

- [Tesla] How are you, darling?
- Hi. Good. You?

Good. Listen.

Would you like
to come with me to the beach?

Oh God, Tesla. No. I won't go with you

because if you go to the beach,
you'll fuck it up.

No. I know. Look.
You're right. But I... I'm worried.

You don't say. You've been worried
your whole entire life.

Anyway, I'm busy now.

No. Wait a second. Hang on.

- Wait.
- What is it?

I wanna listen to you.

I wanna stop
being controlled by my anxiety.

Good.

- [chuckles] You got it, eventually.
- [Tesla sighs]

You can afford to relax one day

Yes. Okay. I'm in.

But...

But when was the last time
we took a whole day just for us?

You and me.

Like, never?

- ["You Are Wherever You Go" playing]
- [Nik] Let go slowly.

And right away start drawing
an eight-shaped figure

to lift your ass out of the water.

- [Nik] Got it?
- [Sebastiano] Yes.

[Nik] See? It's like...

[indistinct chatter]

...like a dance.

Like dancing with the wind.

Whoa. You see? Look.

You draw a kind-of eight.

What is an eight?

- The symbol of infinity.
- Come on. Come here. Try.

♪ You are wherever you go ♪

[Tesla softly] It's beautiful!

My love, it's beautiful!

Look at that.

How did you manage it?

Well, you know, I used the money
from the last few months' sales.

No. That's not what I mean.

It's a wonderful idea, Carolina.
It's so beautiful.

- May I?
- Yes.

Wow! Look at what you've done.
You're a genius, my love!

You're a genius. You know that?

Amazing.

So, shall we go for a swim?

No, no, no. I'm scared.

I'm scared of swimming. I'm a bit scared.

- Right.
- But feel free to go. Okay?

I'll just stay here and watch you.

I'll watch you kitesurf.

Put on Fauré.

- Remember to put on Fauré.
- I'll put him on.

- Listen. Let's do something else.
- No, no, no, no.

- Go, go.
- Are you sure?

Yes. Go.

Okay.

[Nik] Ready?

[whimsical orchestral music playing]

[Sebastiano] I know the water's clear.
I can't go. I'm scared.

I told you, I'm scared.
Leave me alone. I'm scared.

I'm scared. I'm...

[footsteps approaching]

Sorry.

I said sorry. I said...

Okay.

[Tesla] I missed out
on so many important things in life.

Who knows how many more
I'm missing with you?

[Carolina] Oh yeah?
You want to hear some facts about me?

I'm quitting uni.

Oh.

[parking break clicks]

I told this guy I liked
that I'm an only child once.

I did it because
I was afraid I would lose him.

You know when I tell you

my father hasn't forgotten me
and he often calls me?

It's all a lie.

He doesn't even reply to my texts.

Should I continue?

[indistinct chatter]

- [Carolina sighs]
- I'm chatting with a stranger.

Actually, I'm flirting, I think.

- Trying to.
- Mama!

You called me Mama!

- Yes.
- You called me Mama.

[chuckles]

[sighs] All right. We're here.

[Tesla sighs proudly]

But are you sure this is legal?

Of course! Of course it's legal.

- Perfectly legal.
- [cell phone chimes]

No. Because it works. [laughs]

Yeah. 'Cause you're not used to it.
You aren't. [chuckles]

Everything seems to be fine. Okay?

Mmm.

- Come on. Your brother is not so bad.
- Hmm.

He's even sending updates.

- [cell phone keyboard beeping]
- [Carolina] Mm.

There. It's done.

What? What's done?

Well, you have a date here
in half an hour.

- What? No. Are you kidding.
- Mm-hmm.

- Come on, Mom. Ah. Give me it.
- Carolina.

Mama, every day
he writes wonderful things to you.

He's divorced,
and he didn't look like a psycho to me.

- [Tesla] Mm.
- Aren't you a tiny bit curious?

- Yes. A little.
- There you go.

Okay. Let's go. I've got you.

Come on.

Let's go. I have an idea.

Come on. Hurry up!

Yes. Wait.

Thank you.

- Isn't it a bit too tight, Carolina?
- No. It's perfect.

You look great in it.

[Tesla sighs]

I don't know. And these heels are so high.

What do you think? Is that him over there?

[Tesla] Yes. It's him.

Not bad!

What are you waiting for? Go join him.

[indistinct chatter]

No. Let's forget it.

I'll tell him something came up. Okay?

But why? You're here.

- I've smoked too.
- So what?

It's the first day
I've spent with you in ages.

I don't want it to end.

Okay. But...

It's just the first.

Of many others.

Come on. Go. Please.

H-How do I look?

Like someone who hasn't had fun in ages.

[Carolina] Hmm?

You look so beautiful.

- [Tesla chuckles]
- Go.

Don't be weird.

- [Tesla] No, no.
- Easy, easy, easy.

There's a surprise for you.

[Nik whispering] Hey. Pst. Pst.

[Emma] Hey.

[tense music playing]

- [Emma] How was it?
- [Nik] Good. Thanks.

- [Nik] He had a nice day.
- What did you do?

[Nik] Went kitesurfing, and...

[Sebastiano] But that is... that is Emma.

That is... No, no.
It's not possible. That is Emma.

[indistinct conversation]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Nik] Where's he going?

- Wait here. Leave it to me.
- [whimpering]

[Sebastiano sobbing]

[Nik] Seba.

No, Kelvin.

- Kelvin knew it.
- [Nik] Seba.

Hey.

- Where are you going?
- He... He knew it.

- Seba, stop. What's happening?
- He knew it.

- Hey, hey!
- Don't touch me!

Don't touch me! You mustn't touch me!

You mustn't touch me.

- No, but...
- Don't touch me. [sobbing]

You knew it!
The mission! Kelvin had warned me!

He warned me you would betray me!

Why did you betray me?
Why did you betray me?

You brought Emma here!
Why did you bring me here?

Did you want Emma?

Did you wanna be with her?

Emma is mine!

Do you understand? Emma is mine!

She's mine! She loves me!

She loves me!

Don't touch me! She loves me!

She's mine! Take me home!

Go away! Take me home!

I want to go home! [sobbing]

I want to go home.

Don't touch me! I want to go home!

[door opens]

- [door closes]
- So how is he?

- [Carolina] Better. He's asleep.
- [Nik] Is he feeling better?

Oh. Now he's worried!

Do you have any idea
what could've happened?

Thank God he didn't have
a chance to hurt himself.

But, luckily, it didn't happen.
Okay? It didn't happen.

Tesla, I didn't know.

You think all that's needed
is a couple of jokes.

A little bit of empathy.
You're irresponsible.

You're reckless, superficial.

Yeah. Superficial.

But I won't let you do it again.
I won't allow it!

I won't allow you...
I won't allow my son to pay for it!

- I won't allow it.
- Enough. Mom, you're overreacting. Okay?

- I'm not overreacting, Carolina.
- Yes. You're overreacting. Listen to me.

But didn't it occur to you when...
when he told you about the voice,

didn't you think
you should've taken him home?

- No.
- That you should've told me about it?

- No.
- No?

No. He made me promise
not to tell you and I had no idea.

But you don't know shit! That's the thing.

Mom, today Sebastiano
wanted to do a normal thing.

Okay? A day at the beach with his uncle.

Yes. [breathing heavily]

Did you see what happened?

I shouldn't have allowed it,
I made a mistake...

What are you saying?
Understand we can't protect him forever?

It could've happened to me or to you.

But it didn't happen
to me or to you, Carolina!

It happened to him!

[door opens, closes]

[Tesla breathing heavily]

I'm gonna check on him.

CALLING...

[line ringing]

[cell phone beeps]

So I have a little bit of time left

to make you change your mind
and keep you from leaving.

[Nik] Well, no.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?
- Yeah. Tomorrow.

Then why?

Because you're coming with me.
Leave your husband and we'll go.

- [chuckles] Come on. Seriously, Nik.
- I'm not kidding.

You said it yourself,
that it wasn't too late.

Oh God, Nik. I mean, we...
Do we just leave everything behind?

Sorry. But what about you,
if you leave now?

No. I don't give a damn
about my father's money.

Even less about his inheritance.

[whispering] Let's start over.

Yeah.

- From scratch?
- From scratch.

From the beginning.

Giada.

Giada. What's the problem? Sorry.

What are you offering me?

What is this?

Wasn't I the life you wanted?

A life around the world with a kite?
Is that it?

Now? Oh my God.

[Nik sighs]

Yeah. Now.

[door opens]

[Giada] So what was all this for?
What was the point?

- To take your stupid revenge?
- No.

To understand once and for all

that losing you was the best thing
that could've happened to me.

- [Giada sobbing]
- [thunder rumbling]

You're a bastard, Nik.

[door closes]

[footsteps approaching]

Wait. What are you doing?

What needs to be done.

Listen. I'm sorry,
but I'm not really good at goodbyes.

[bag zipping]

[bag zipping]

[bag zipping]

Take this.

What is it?

Your inheritance.

It's the money you're owed.

Oh, yes. Grandpa didn't only write to you.

He appointed me to give it to you early,
in case things didn't work out.

[paper rustling]

What was the point
of all this charade, then?

Well, this "charade"
gave you the chance to know your family.

Yeah.

If you had got it right away,
it wouldn't have happened.

- [bag zipping]
- And what's changed?

[scoffs]

Well, what... What can I tell you?

Good luck to you.

Sebastiano will be shocked
not to see you here. You know that.

No. I doubt it.
I was another problem for him.

No. And that's not
what Grandpa thought either.

In that letter, I realized he had made
so many mistakes with you.

Yeah? That's what I thought too.

In the end,
I think he really saved my life. You know?

SCHIZOPHRENIA

DEAR NIKOLA, MY SON

"I'VE DECIDED TO MOVE TO MARS
BECAUSE AS MY GRANDPA ALWAYS SAID

LIFE WITHOUT MUSIC
IS LIKE A FAMILY WITHOUT LOVE"

[driver] Good evening.
Where are you headed?

[vehicles passing]

[indistinct chatter]

[Carolina] You all right?

[Tesla] Mm.

Yes.

- He's a bit nervous, but it's normal.
- Well, at home, he was really nervous.

Are you sure
after all that happened yesterday?

He insisted on it.
He said he had to play this one last time.

What was I supposed to do?

- Lock him in his room?
- No. Of course not.

No...

DAD

[Tesla] It's all my fault.

I should have trusted him. I...

I should have known. [crying]

- No. It's not your fault. Stop it.
- Yes.

Hey. Stop it.

But it's true.

I got it all wrong,

and now my son might die
because I didn't think about it.

What's the point of torturing yourself?

Fuck.

What's the point? It doesn't help you.
It doesn't help Sebastiano. Stop it.

Why didn't you tell me the truth?

I read your letter.

Yeah.

I left it thinking
we wouldn't see each other again.

But how did you manage
to keep everything inside

for all this time?

Why didn't you tell me?

So why did you let me hate you
for 20 years, Nik?

'Cause it was for the best.

[sighs]

Because... Because there was
no reason for you to suffer too.

- No.
- Yeah.

Because I didn't wanna take
your father away from you too.

So you took my brother?

[sniffles]

Come on, Nik. Fuck!
Dad was screwing Giada.

[Tesla crying]

God. What...

God, if only I had realized it.

No. You would have hated him.

And three people would've suffered.

Instead of only one.

And then...

And then I was ashamed.

I missed you a lot.

I missed you so, so much. So much.

This is your family. This is your home.

And it's weird, it's flawed and imperfect,
it's fragile, but it's yours.

So stop...

breathe...

and forgive.

From here,
it's easy to find the right words.

I don't even know

In fact, I don't even know
if or where I'll wake up again.

It's not important.

Now I'm happy.
