A NETFLIX SERIES
[sentimental music playing]
[Daniel] When I told Ciro
I was looking for a place in Naples,
He looked at me and he said,
"Oh! That's a pity."
[sobbing]
But he would go to Naples too,
every now and then.
He'd go to get supplies for the bar.
Sometimes I'd ask him
to bring me something back.
So, he'd go there and he always came back.
Ciro always came back to the island.
He used to say that we were lucky
to live here,
because the buildings
in Naples were too tall,
so everyone always took the elevator,
he'd say.
- He hated elevators.
- [congregation laughing]
I remember one day asking him,
"Ciro, what did these elevators
ever do to you?"
And he
He told me
[inaudible]
He, uh
He replied that they were
invented by the Devil.
[all laughing]
Because if you take the stairs,
you can meet people living
on the other floors.
You can talk to them, get to know them.
You can fight over
when they play their music too loud.
[woman reciting prayer in Italian]
[Daniel] But if you take the elevator,
you stop meeting people.
And write that down ♪
And the things that bother you
you keep them all inside.
If Ciro had lived in a building
with an elevator,
he would have never met his wife, Maria,
to tell her to stop listening
to Pino Daniele on full blast. [laughs]
[laughs]
She wouldn't have told him
to stop watering his plants
because he was getting all her clothes wet
that were hanging out below.
And he would have never asked her out
for a coffee as a peace offering.
Ciro was the soul of this island.
That's why
there are so many of us here today.
That's why we'll all miss him so much.
He was the keeper of all our secrets.
And he taught us
to not let them die with us.
[sentimental music continues]
[ship horn blowing]
[music continues]
[inaudible]
[young Daniel] Ciro!
- [Ciro] Hey!
- So, did you get them?
Did you get them?
- What?
- Did you get them?
What are you asking?
Come on, stop it! Did you get them or not?
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
[laughs]
Here they are.
[chuckles]
Come on.
Here we are.
Are they the right ones
or are you going to make me go back?
- No, they're the right ones, Ciro.
- [Ciro] Thank God.
Daniel, listen to me.
So, this guy from Naples
that sold them to you,
how exactly do you know him?
No, uh
He's the uncle of a classmate of mine
who comes here for the holidays.
Here's the money.
Oh well.
But tell me something,
who are you going with?
- With that girl you really like? Ines?
- No. What are you talking about?
THE YEARS '98
You haven't asked her to go yet.
[tsks, sighs]
It's just that
- I'm embarrassed.
- [Ciro] Daniel!
Daniel, listen to me. I love you,
I'm your godfather. You know that.
Listen to my advice.
Don't keep it all inside,
or you'll end up exploding.
Understand?
- See you later, Ciro!
- Take care, Totò. Bye.
So, is Mr. Totò gonna die?
No, no, he's having a very risky
heart surgery. He's a little scared.
Now his secret is safe inside the bottle.
[gentle music playing]
What will you do with it
once it's completely full?
I don't know. Maybe I'll open it up.
Are you mad? That's crazy.
You can't open the bottle of secrets.
That's the number one rule.
[Daniel] The bottle is
a treasure chest for posterity,
a time capsule to pass on the secrets
of all the previous generations.
Only future civilizations can open it.
Or aliens.
I still can't believe
Ciro actually left it to you.
The letter says I have to decide
whether or not to open it up.
What's there to decide?
How about we open it now?
Why don't you mind
your own business, Luca?
The secrets of the whole world
are in there.
Lu, he left the letter to Daniel.
If he'd left it to you,
you'd be deciding, right?
You could take it home,
put it in the fireplace.
- I don't have a fireplace.
- And you don't have the bottle either.
So drink your limoncello
and don't think about it.
- I don't have any cash.
- My treat.
Daniel,
I'm definitely not saying that he's right,
but it is 2022.
- We are the future civilization.
- Luca is also a bit alien.
And I am How so?
Drink the limoncello.
I dunno.
Some things are just better left alone.
- Inside the bottle, Daniel?
- Agh!
Uh, yeah.
Isn't it better to let certain things
come out every now and then?
Especially, when you get the chance.
What chance, Sandro?
She was with that guy! Come on.
[Sandro] Oh, I get it.
No, I don't get it.
- But you're in love. You have to tell her.
- Ah, okay. Now I get it!
What difference does it make?
She's in love with somebody else.
She made her choice.
She even brought him to the funeral.
- I don't get it.
- [Sandro] If you don't say
Maybe she's waiting too. I mean, I think
No! She could've come
and talked to me, but she didn't.
At least that guy What's his name?
Enea. He waved to me.
The guy who was with Matilda,
that was Enea?
Yeah.
Enea, the handsome one?
- Eh.
- So, he is handsome?
You think you are?
Daniel, where you goin'?
- I'm taking it home.
- I'm coming with you.
- We gotta come up with an app.
- No, now is not the time.
Aurelio is gonna fire our asses.
[Daniel] Don't worry.
I have a bit of an idea.
Yeah, but we need the whole idea,
not just a bit.
It's always up to me.
Fine. See you, Ciro.
[gentle music continues]
[Enea] So, tell me,
don't you love me anymore?
[girl] So, tell me,
don't you love me anymore?
That's good, but a bit louder.
[girl] So, tell me,
don't you love me anymore?
Yes, my queen.
I will always be loyal to you.
And let Bottom be my witness.
[Enea] Very good.
And now, everyone go to makeup, quickly.
[girl] Hurry up, Salvatore!
[Enea sighs]
Hey.
- [Matilda] Hey.
- How are you?
Fine. Why?
If you want to go home and rest a bit, go.
You can come back.
No, no, no. There's still so much
that needs to be done.
The show starts in a few hours.
Everything's under control.
Ginevra's here.
- I'm fine.
- Enea.
Gaia's missing.
What do you mean Gaia?
She's the lead character!
You think I don't know that? I called her
ten times, but she won't answer.
I saw her. She said she's going
to her boyfriend's house.
I heard her say she doesn't want
to do this shitty show anymore.
- And how do you know this, Salvatore?
- She told the Moth Fairy everything.
- Can I be Queen Titania?
- No.
Oh, Salvo, please! Come on!
Listen, Ginevra, can you take care of it?
I have a million things to do.
- I can take care of Gaia.
- You're tired, Mati.
[sarcastically] And I'm exhausted.
Seriously, I have to go to the workshop
to get more paint. I'll go.
- Seriously.
- Uh
Yeah, but
Don't worry, I'll be right back.
I'll see you in a bit.
I don't know why she's with you.
[gentle music playing]
[panting]
- [horn honking]
- Oh! Gaia!
You had us worried.
- What do you want?
- [Matilda] Why did you run off?
The show starts any moment.
You can't force me to do it.
But you were so happy
to be the lead character.
I can't stand Shakespeare.
I know what's wrong.
What do you know?
You don't know anything.
Your boyfriend's not here?
Practicing basketball.
Back in half an hour.
What's going on?
Does it have anything to do with that boy
that you were rehearsing the kiss with?
The one who plays the donkey.
No. Nevermind.
I did the same thing
when I liked someone too.
Okay, listen.
Since you have to wait anyway,
why don't you come with me
to get more paint?
Wanna get a slice of pizza?
You think I'm stupid
just because I'm younger than you?
I know you're just trying
to get me to talk.
Fine, then.
- But I wouldn't mind some pizza.
- [laughs] I knew it! Let's go.
[laughs]
[upbeat music playing]
[Gaia] You can bring beer to work
when you're a grown-up?
- [bottle opens]
- [Matilda] No, not exactly.
But this place is all mine now, so
It sucks.
[bell tolling]
I'm happy here.
Anyway, Gaia
In the end,
it's just a simple school play.
You're not really kissing.
I mean, you barely touch his lips.
During the rehearsal,
Manuel stuck his tongue in my mouth.
[laughs, gulps]
What? He can't do that.
- I thought it felt kinda strange.
- Okay, but come on
Sort of like an electric shock.
An electric shock?
Yeah.
- What do you mean "an electric shock"?
- I dunno.
But I swear, I love my boyfriend.
We've been together for three weeks.
It's serious.
Yes, of course.
I mean, I understand.
How can you understand?
You're with that hot teacher.
Listen, I completely understand
how you wanna handle the situation.
You're in love with your boyfriend,
and you're doing your best
to protect your relationship.
And anyway, Daniel is a prick,
he shouldn't have tried to confuse you
and jeopardize your relationship.
Manuel.
Manuel.
What did I say? That donkey.
Yeah, and you know what he's like.
[chuckles]
First he does that with you, then he
goes around kissing whoever he likes.
He wasn't the only one to use his tongue.
[chuckles] No, Gaia. No.
You know what we'll do now?
Since you're right,
you go back to your boyfriend's,
I'll call Enea
and tell him to find someone else
to stand in for you.
Don't worry, we'll figure something out
and find a solution, okay?
But I'm the queen.
[laughs]
Gaia, you'll have other opportunities.
I'm telling you, Shakespeare is overrated.
I know what you're doing.
- [Matilda] What am I doing?
- Reverse psychology.
Me? No.
- You're pretending to agree with me.
- I'm not doing anything.
The best thing is to do the show.
- And see how it goes.
- No, seriously.
Maybe I kiss him on stage
and nothing will happen.
- Or maybe it will.
- No! You can't!
- You shouldn't!
- [Gaia] You're right.
Nothing to regret.
[sighs]
Shit, you're pretty good.
Yeah, yeah. So good.
[gentle music playing]
FOR INES
[breathes deeply]
[indistinct chatter]
[gentle music playing]
[door closes]
- If you put it there, we won't see the TV.
- Lu
You're right. It's not my house.
- Can I watch TV?
- Yeah, yeah, sure. Watch.
- Where you goin'?
- To the bathroom.
- To do what?
- To take a shower.
And wash your hair?
Yes, and wash my hair. Is that okay, Luca?
No, do it. Wash your hair because
It's quite a mess.
And
[jazz music playing]
[thuds]
[music continues]
[grunts]
[grunts]
[shower running]
[Ines] Teens are like that,
you tell them to do one thing
and they do the exact opposite.
- Just like you.
- Okay, I get it.
But if Gaia breaks up her boyfriend now,
I'll feel guilty.
What's that gotta do with it?
She likes the other guy better,
it's best if she tells her boyfriend.
[sighs]
Maybe she's just confused.
[sucks teeth] She?
- What?
- What? Nothing.
- Ines!
- Nothing!
Yes, but "nothing" means,
"Are you sure you're not projecting
your own issues onto Gaia?"
- I didn't say anything.
- Whatever. You didn't say anything.
[breathes deeply]
[both laugh]
Come on, if you must know,
Princess Betulla even blocked my number.
- [both laugh]
- [Ines] I knew it.
He was at the funeral, wasn't he?
That's why you're like this.
I'm fine.
[sighs]
- Listen, since it's an important night
- Yeah.
what do you say,
we put on a little lipstick?
- No.
- Oh, come on. [chuckles]
I know that in the end you'll do
the opposite of what I tell you to do.
[Matilda sighs]
And now I'm telling you
that these thoughts about Daniel,
even if you'd like to pursue it
just to see where it takes you,
or to avoid having any regrets one day
you don't have to give in.
The dress is already paid for.
- [smacks leg] Hey!
- [Ines laughs]
I made the alterations you wanted.
- Were you gonna say something before?
- I hate lipstick.
[Ines] I hate paying a babysitter 50 euro
to come to the theater.
What can you do about it?
[indistinct chatter]
Little sis, you even put lipstick on!
You're such an idiot, Anto.
The lights are about to go out now anyway.
[sighs]
Can you believe Mrs. Barone?
Luca, I told you to be careful
not to leave hair in the
What the hell are you doing?
No! No! Oh, shit! What the fuck?
I was looking for the clues
to get infinite lives in Virtual Slug.
You could've looked
on the Internet, asshole!
No, no, it's not the same thing.
[sighs]
[grunts]
[glass clinking]
[gentle music playing]
Did you know Antonella from eighth grade,
her father was gay?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay. Uh
I didn't.
I didn't think so. I mean, he was still
You know?
- What?
- [Daniel] No, I didn't know.
I don't even know who Antonella is.
Oh, the girl from eighth grade, back, uh
[audience applauding] Bravo! Bravo!
[whistles]
Go on, Salvo! Papa thinks you're the best!
- [audience laughs]
- Sit down. You look like a total ass.
Shut up, you always have something to say.
Sorry, he's a complete moron.
[laughing, applauding]
Oh, beautiful Hippolyta,
our wedding time is approaching
with a quick pace.
Four more happy days
and the new moon will rise.
But, oh, how slowly this old moon
is taking descent.
She delays the fulfillment of my desires.
He's good, isn't he? He has always
been good, that little shit of mine!
[sobbing]
[Hippolyta] Four days will soon be
swallowed up by the night.
And the dreams of four nights
will consume time.
Ginevra, hey.
[Hippolyta]like to a silver bow
New-bent in heaven
- Hey.
- Hey.
It's beautiful.
Thanks for everything you did today.
I only lent a hand. You did all this work.
No, seriously.
No, it's true. I wouldn't know
what to do without you here.
Imagine if you were in Paris right now.
I'd be done for.
[Salvatore as Theseus] Hippolyta,
I woo'd thee with my sword
[sentimental music playing]
Hey.
[seagulls cawing]
How did you know I was here?
Your mother told me.
What are you doing up here?
Did you come here to annoy me?
No.
So, what is it you want?
No, I
The other day at school,
what was it that you wanted to tell me?
Mm, I don't remember.
Is it true that you went to Rome
by yourself?
- Mm-hmm.
- Did you see the Colosseum?
What's wrong?
I got nothing to say to you, Daniel.
[song continues]
[Manuel as Oberon] Wait, impudent wench!
Am I not your king?
Well, then I would be your bride.
But I know that you stealthily left
the kingdom of the fairies.
And in the shape of Corin sat all day,
playing on pipes of corn
and versing love to amorous Phillida.
[audience applauding] Bravo! Bravo!
Bravo! Bravo!
Bravo!
[exhales]
[line ringing]
Fuck!
[phone ringing]
[ringing continues]
- What do you want?
- [Daniel on phone] You called me.
Mm, no. No, I dialed the wrong number,
Daniel. I'm sorry.
[Daniel] Can I talk to you for a second?
No, um, I can't.
I'm really very busy right now.
You're so beautiful.
[laughs]
What are you doing here?
I searched Enea Greenwood on the Internet.
I love Shakespeare. I couldn't miss it.
The Princess Betulla!
Ines!
- So you recognize her right away.
- Of course!
- You two are still friends?
- You still friends with Mimi and Coco?
Ines, go inside.
I'll be right there. Please, go.
- Of course. I can be your lookout.
- Fine.
Although, this little show you two
are putting on is much more entertaining.
- [Matilda] Ines!
- See you, Princess.
[Daniel laughs]
Ines hasn't changed much.
- Will you tell me what you're doing here?
- Will you tell me why you're calling me?
I wasn't calling you.
I tried a few days ago,
but you had my number blocked.
I even came to your house.
It was so stupid of me,
because I wanted to apologize.
- But I saw you kissing another girl.
- No.
- It's not what it seems. I
- [Matilda] It's your life.
The last one who should be
busting your balls about morals is me.
No, I didn't come here to get in the way
and screw up your wedding, but I think
But you're here.
And you tell me that I'm beautiful.
Ciro left me the bottle of secrets.
But no No, you can't open
the bottle of secrets.
- That's the rule
- The number one rule, I know.
But look what I found.
What? Well, uh, I was 12.
I was young and stupid.
The two of us
have always been out of sync.
- Daniel
- Want to let another 20 years pass us?
Do you think this is a movie?
What am I supposed to do?
Just give up everything?
Because we went out twice?
Because I liked you when I was little?
You didn't even recognize me
when you saw me at that bar!
But I like to get to know you
all over again.
- Daniel, I have to go back to the show
- It lasts at least an hour and 50 minutes.
To be precise.
[sentimental music playing]
[young Matilda] Dear Daniel,
this is for having helped me find my dad.
I'd like to tell you so many things.
But I'm not good at saying them.
And so I'll write them to you.
I've understood
that I like being with you,
and since I don't like being with anyone,
it means I like you.
[sentimental music continues]
[audience cheering, applauding]
If you want, we can meet up at school
and walk home together.
[gentle, romantic music playing]
If you don't want to, please disappear
and don't respond,
because I'm embarrassed.
[cheering]
Daniel!
[gentle music playing]
[music continues]
[music ends]
