NOW
HIS.HIGHNESS
have you been to Sabaudia recently?
Andrea.
-Hey!
-Yes?
Will you lend me the bike?
-I need it.
-What are you talking about?
I need to go to a classmate's house
outside of Latina for an assignment.
Damn
You've got your arm exercises
today anyway. Right?
Want to go swim?
No, thanks. I just put lotion on.
Maybe later.
Who is it?
-My ass!
-Assholes!
-Why are you here?
-Can we stay?
-Yes, my parents went for a swim.
-We wanted to annoy you a little.
Good idea.
-How was it yesterday?
-Great. I'm still confused.
You should have seen her with Vitto.
Come on!
By the way,
they asked us to be in their video.
-That's so cool!
-Very cool.
Obviously, they told us to tell you too.
-When is it?
-Tuesday, in theory.
Which sucks, because my hair is a mess
and the hairdresser is closed. Fuck!
If you want, we have a hairdresser.
-How is it?
-Very nice, thanks.
-And you didn't want to come.
-Shut up.
Who told you to invite me for the video?
I don't remember.
Ilo, I think.
Okay.
Why?
Just curious.
By the way, do you know who might film it?
-Who?
-Your little friend.
Marco?
-Look how she smiles.
-You little slut.
-What?
-You're awful, Carola.
-Hello?
-Hey, are you still at your grandfather's?
Yes, why?
I need to hide from my brother
and my friends for the day.
So?
So, I'm accepting your offer.
Where are you?
Can I park the bike inside?
What the fuck
I need to study.
Fine.
Sorry, why do you need to hide?
I'll tell you in a bit.
What the hell is this stuff?
Please, don't say anything.
"The plough and the sword."
-You got the whole collection.
-Not me. Grandpa.
Come on.
My God. It's beautiful!
Yes. Except when he goes,
"Duce! Duce! Duce!" and doesn't stop.
-Go on, fascist parrot!
-He only does it for Grandpa.
And Grandpa?
What does he say
about his lesbian granddaughter?
And your parents?
What do they say about their dickhead son?
-No, seriously.
-I don't know. I never see him.
He's always at the bar in town,
drinking with his friends.
That's why I'm always here.
What's his name?
Grandpa's?
No, the parrot's.
Benito.
-Are you kidding?
-Well, what can I tell you?
Come on!
What a bomb!
Turn left here.
Fuck, it's huge.
HIS.HIGHNESS
have you been to Sabaudia recently?
sorry I just woke up but I haven't why?
NOONEKNOWSMELIKE
sorry I just woke up but I haven't why?
Hey! Leave your imaginary friend alone
and tell me the way.
YOU
okay
Hey!
You can park it out here.
NOONEKNOWSMELIKE
why do you ask??
-Here we go.
-Hey! Enough!
-Hey! Come on.
-I'm done. Okay? Let's go.
HIS.HIGHNESS
no reason I thought I saw you
in a friend's picture
but I must have imagined it.
anyway I think I'll be in your city soon
and we could meet
-Hey.
-What?
HIS.HIGHNESS
when are you coming???
Let's go this way, it's faster.
NOONEKNOWSMELIKE
We'll see.
I need to figure out some stuff
No way, guys.
This bitch is ditching me again.
She's such a bore.
But why is he so attached to her?
She treats him like shit.
-Fuck off.
-Fuck you, Dani.
-You know what I'd do?
-I don't care.
I'll tell you anyway.
She asked you to meet. Right?
-Yeah.
-Don't ask, "When? Where? Why?"
Go to Turin, well dressed
with flowers and say, "Look, I'm here."
-You're wasting time.
-Yeah, sure
He's got a point.
HIS.HIGHNESS
okay
You're always on your phone. It's crazy.
What do you want? Are you my mother?
Also, until five minutes ago,
I wasn't on my phone, but on my e-book.
Okay.
What are you reading?
A book I was recommended.
Does it have a title?
Yes.
A round trip ticket to Turin is expensive.
Don't be stingy about this.
Vitto will lend you some money.
Are you crazy?
You should be buying me dinner.
Your idea, you pay.
-You really hate working, don't you?
-Yes.
Guys, why did you park by Cirene?
I know, Aunty. It was my mistake.
-Hi.
-Hello.
-These are Ilario and Vittorio.
-Nice to meet you. Alessandra.
This is Mattia Martelli, Public Relations.
-Hi.
-Nice to meet you.
So, who will be filming?
Actually, none of us.
But you can explain everything to me.
No, I wanted to meet him. I won't be there
on Tuesday. Only Mattia will.
-Let me make a call.
-Thank you.
-I need the names of the people involved.
-Sure.
Are we safe here?
Yes, we are safe.
The reactor hasn't worked for 34 years
and we're safely decommissioning it.
And the one where you'll be
has never worked.
Great, thanks.
-He's not picking up.
-Damn it.
Do you want to start the tour
or have coffee first?
-Well, that'd be nice.
-Yes, thank you.
Do you have suits like in Chernobyl?
-I think we have something.
-Great.
At first, everything was joined
in this "Apeiron."
Then, for mysterious reasons,
things were divided into opposites.
Day and night, men and women, and so on.
Now, mankind must pay
for this mysterious separation
by living until they atone for it
and everything goes back to the "Apeiron".
The fuck does that mean?
That life is shit.
You had good grades in philosophy?
You got anything to drink?
I'm choking on this.
How about I get you a cake too?
-You want some Fanta?
-I haven't had that since primary school!
You're very annoying.
You too. But at least I'm handsome.
How dare you?
You fucked my girlfriend.
I can say what I want.
Well
Someone had to.
Where are you going?
Come on, I'm sorry!
Hey!
Are you upstairs?
What the fuck are you doing?
You know a lot about me
and I know nothing about you.
You could ask.
It's more fun this way.
"The only brother
suddenly felt left out
-Give it.
-"from the games and quarrels
"shared for 20 years."
A poem about your brother?
A poetry book. Give it.
Then stop going through my stuff.
-Okay.
-Okay?
Fine.
Is the makeup yours?
No, my grandfather's.
Can you use it?
It's not hard.
You can apply eyeliner?
Do you want to see?
Yes.
Okay.
But on you.
All right.
Really?
Okay.
Sit down, then.
-I'm doing it, for real.
-I'm ready.
Okay.
Close your eyes.
Close them.
It suits you.
I need to study, come on.
Come meet my grandfather.
How much?
-Seven hundred. I swear.
-What are you saying?
Read the email.
Why would anyone watch you
play videogames? You suck at it.
I must be good. What can I say?
Fine.
Andre? Where is he?
He's done at 2:00.
Should we wait for him
to go to the all-you-can-eat?
Maybe, but I have training at 2:30.
-So annoying.
-Always training.
-Hey
-Hi.
Hi.
Why don't you want to do the video?
How do you know about that?
Jun, Zelia, Susi and I are extras.
For what?
-A music video.
-Cool.
Why won't you do it?
Come on, do it. Or Ilo will do it
with his phone and it'll be crappy.
Come on. We three can do it.
Otherwise, Ilo will.
FOUR MONTHS EARLIER
It's pointless. I checked 20 times.
-How is this possible?
-All right, Ilo! Let's go!
-Come on!
-It was just luck!
Hey, guys!
Does anyone have an extra swimsuit?
How is that possible?
Because they cost €300.
And how much did the fish
you put under his pillow cost?
Do you want to check my bag?
-What fish?
-Don't worry, Dad.
Let's go! Come on!
-We can go buy one now.
-It's too late.
NOW
What time do you want to shoot tomorrow?
Okay, okay, okay
This scene is a copy
My women glasses
And this son of a bitch
Is a real prima donna
The Pontine Marshes would be better
For a funeral
I'm the father
They're my kids who turned out bad
I'm investing in bricks, yes
Like a customer, not entrepreneur
I go to Latina Scalo in my Lamborghini
I still play with guys
With bricks in their pockets
I'm investing in bricks, yes
I still play with guys
With bricks in their pockets
I go to Latina Scalo in my Lamborghini
Like a customer, not entrepreneur

Cut.
Stop. Let's see how it looks.
-What an dork!
-Yeah and you're so cool? Please!
What are you doing?
I don't know. The autofocus loses you.
I don't know why.
-You sure you can do it, Marcoli?
-Come on, we called him because he can.
It started working here.
If we merge this
with the previous one, it should be fine.
-Come on!
-Great!
Stop the music.
Who told you you could use the pickup?
They said it was okay at the entrance.
-That's enough. Stop everything.
-Come on.
I want you out in five minutes!
-Come on!
-Everyone!
Mattia!
Five minutes!
Mattia is such an asshole.
-He's just doing his job.
-Whatever.
I know, but
Guys, you want to go to the shed?
Is that thing still standing?
Should I call Andrea?
We should have told him earlier, man.
Can I go for a while?
-Damn.
-We'll have some beers. You should come.
-Where is this shed?
-Foce Verde, before the river.
That illegal shed with the Sardinian flag?
What are you, a cop?
I was kidding.
They've asked me so many times. Fine.
-Are you coming?
-Yes, let's go.
-Yes.
-I can't. My mom is really mad.
Caro, we can give you a ride if you want.
Okay.
Just don't put on
that reggaeton thing from last time.
But it's cool.
It's cool.
-Guys, Tiziano is the best.
-Vitto, I didn't expect this from you.
He also started out in this shitty place
and now he's performing in Mexico.
Quiet, guys. Turn off the music.
Aunty?
Yes, all good.
I was about to call you.
Yes, I'll talk to the others
and call you back.
What is it?
You stole the suits?
-What? It wasn't a gift?
-What gift? Turn around.
-Come on, turn around!
-It was a nice gift.
-You guys are not normal.
-Well
-You took all of them?
-Come on, relax.
What is it?
Nothing.
We could be sitting here for hours
and you wouldn't try anything, would you?
Exactly.
Have you ever had a girlfriend?
I kissed a Norwegian girl once,
in Cambridge on a school trip.
Wow.
Norwegians are hot.
Yes. But she went around saying
that I was a shitty kisser.
And so, her friends started calling me,
"Anteater," in Norwegian.
-Because of the tongue.
-Yes, I got that.
Go ahead, rub it in.
She doesn't give the money to me,
she keeps it all for herself.
She's a T-Rex.
Hey.
How did it go?
Very well.
I saw on social media
that Carola was there.
We kissed.
No way!
Good.
What's wrong?
-Nothing.
-Nothing? Tell me.
Nothing.
Why don't you ever share things with me?
-What do you mean?
-What
Did you stop dealing?
I did.
Did you?
-Half an hour ago I smoked your weed.
-Since when do you smoke?
You're impossible to talk to,
you always change the subject.
-Okay.
-"Okay."
What?
Saturday evening, I found out that
Carola and Daniele dated last summer.
So?
So I don't know.
"I don't know."
Fuck you! First, you tell me
to wear a shirt, then to write to her,
and now you're telling me this?
Enough, fucking enough!
You need to get off my back!
Do you understand?
-Hey! What's going on here?
-Nothing, Dad.
-I'm moving downstairs.
-What are you
Or I'll take Chicca's room.
We're 17, we can't share a room.
-Can you calm down?
-I'll move into the basement, no problem.
The doorman gave me this.
Thank you.
Are you leaving?
Yes. I have an early morning class.
Better to go sleep in Rome.
Okay.
I'll see you on Sunday.
Bye.
At school,
they asked me to replace a colleague
on a cultural exchange trip
to Madrid in October.
Maybe you'd like to tag along?
-When in October?
-From the 5th to the 15th.
I've been there already.
I know. But it's so we can
spend your birthday together.
Me, you and 50 students I don't know?
Nice. Very nice.
Fine, we'll talk about it later.
I have to go now.
Bye.
"We were among those called
against nature.
"Our existence overturned
and distorted the laws of creation.
"But how could we,
luxuriant in our adolescent bodies,
"be a waste,
the flaw of an imperfect nature?
"They convinced us,
they persuaded us to self-deny.
"We, so young,
were forced to rehabilitate our bodies,
"forced to face our nature
and suppress it with another.
"To tell ourselves we could be
who we didn't want to be and weren't.
"We, the only innocent beings,
the last living beings.
"We, transplanted from the world
of the dead to survive."
SIX YEARS EARLIER
-Why aren't you at swim class?
-I don't want to go anymore.
Why? You won the last race.
-And now they all hate me.
-Just ignore them.
-Do you want to swim with me?
-No. I like basketball.
-Please.
-Marco, you should do things alone.
Do you want to stay there?
Yes.
Come on, I'll come with you.
Then we'll get crepes with jam.
Okay.
Come on, let's go.
NOW
