A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
I was thinking of staying here next summer.
You say that every year.
-Really? -Yeah.
Yeah…
But…
this summer is different.
You know I love you, right?
I'm tired.
-I'm going to bed. -All right.
I already know, Ale.
I already know.
How did you find out?
In our world, we all know each other quite well.
And detest each other.
He's improving by the day.
All he needed was for you to trust him.
It's a fine team. You'll like it.
-When are you leaving? -I don't know.
-What was that? -I don't know.
Because…
I haven't accepted yet.
My life's gotten complicated, Dad.
I mean, it's better, but also more complicated.
I don't know what to say. It's your life.
-Know who will manage you? -Yes.
He's good.
I always wanted to protect you. On every training session, every race.
That was all I wanted.
Did you see the rear skid out?
-Because I missed… -You missed the trajectory.
You must always follow it. Come.
You'll see that the track is rubbered out there…
Look, I brought tomatoes…
And tzatziki.
What's left? Salt and oil.
-No, I'll go get them. -No, stay there.
-Ma'am. -Thank you.
-Want some? -Yeah.
It's good.
Mom, why don't you sing with Dad anymore?
Because…
Who would stay at home with us?
No, it's not because of that.
We could have all traveled together.
Yes, we could have.
But how would you have gone to school, or made any friends?
I have no friends, and I don't want to go back to school.
-What do you mean you don't want to? -You've got lots of friends.
-Come on, it's not true. -It is.
Name one.
No, wait… Why don't you want to go to school?
I could be home schooled and travel around with you.
Honey, it doesn't work like that.
How does it work?
It's better for everyone if you stay home with Mom.
Better for everyone, or just you?
Why don't you tell him?
Tell me what, exactly?
That she's unhappy.
Whether you're here or not.
-Summy, stop it. Please. -Come on, Mom.
You're always sad when it's the three of us.
Summy, please sit down. No one told you to… Summy!
-Leave her alone! Where are you going? -I'm not hungry.
She's not hungry… See?
Whatever I do, I'm always wrong.
If I pretend everything's okay, she'll think I'm stupid or something.
If I cry, because it does happen,
she'll think that I can't manage, because I sacrificed my life for you.
-Did you? -I don't know.
What am I supposed to do, then?
If you want me to stop, say it. I'll stay here.
-That's not the point! -So what, should we break up?
You look so grown-up.
I am a grown-up, Dad.
You know that every morning I wake up and my back hurts?
You can't sleep well on the road, it tires you out.
You're always far away.
Yeah, back in the day, it all seemed easy.
But over time, everything changes.
I know that you're all caught up in your own lives,
your problems, your thoughts…
And that I'm becoming a distant thought.
Maybe there are days when you don't think about me at all.
Why choose this lifestyle, if you don't like it?
Why…
Because it's all I can do.
But…
I miss being here.
I miss staying here with you, taking you to school, shopping,
making the beds with Mom,
waking up at night to check on you.
I miss you.
We miss you too.
How far did you get?
I'm nearly done.
Watch out.
It doesn't end well.
I'm afraid so too.
See you, little trumpet.
See you, trombone.
Sorry.
Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?
I decided today.
-Just like that, out of the blue? -I texted you.
Or else you wouldn't be here.
But we can't even say goodbye properly.
Are we going to say goodbye this way?
Hi.
-I really like you. -I like you too.
Sorry, I don't even know why I'm crying.
It's all right.
I feel like an idiot.
Did you talk to her?
Do it.
He was here for a week, then he left again.
When will he be back?
I don't know… at the end of summer.
Was your sister happy to see him?
Yeah, she was.
You weren't?
I…
I don't know anymore.
Summy, I have something to tell you.
They made me an offer.
What offer?
It's a really big racing team.
They asked me whether I'd like to race for them next year.
Aren't you pleased?
It'd be quite the contract, too, because I'd change division.
So that's great news. You're going back to racing.
Yes, but I'd be doing it in Spain.
What? In Spain?
It's a Spanish team, so I'd have to move there.
Spain's not that far away. It's around the corner.
Have you made up your mind?
No… That's why I'm telling you, so we can decide together.
It's one of the best things that could happen to you.
You think?
Want to go for a swim?
Ale…
You have to go.
Aren't you afraid that if I go it'll be over between us?
And what did you tell him?
I said no. That I'm not afraid.
So you told him to go?
I said that I'm fine with it.
I shouldn't have?
I don't know, Summy.
Are you in love with Ale?
I think so.
Yes, I'm in love with Ale.
-Have you told him? -No.
Summy…
I have something to tell you.
Maybe it's not the right moment to tell you anymore, but…
Summy, I…
You?
What is it, Sofi?
I…
I met someone.
Do you like her?
Yes… She's shaken me up.
Is that really what you wanted to say?
You have to tell Ale.
Because if you don't tell him when the moment is right,
it'll be too late, and you won't tell him at all.
Then summers will end,
feelings will end,
and we'll grow up.
I'm sorry.
I haven't been around much lately.
You're my best friend.
Remember that.
-You realize it doesn't make sense? -It makes sense to me. Hit me.
Don't piss me off. Hit me.
I don't want to piss you off, but there's no need.
-Come on. -Come on, Dario.
-Don't put your hands on my face. -Oh, really?
-Or else, what will you do? -Come on, don't do it.
Or else what? What will you do?
-What the fuck are you doing? -Go on.
Hit me, you asshole. Dickhead.
-You ain't worth shit! -Fuck you!
Sorry, man… You're such an idiot.
-Yeah! Fuck! -I'll go get some ice.
I want no ice. I don't want it.
Oh, shit… it's broken. But I don't want ice.
Now we're even, all right?
So you're leaving?
Yeah… They gave me a few days to think about it, but they're in a hurry.
Have you decided?
Going back to racing or not is your decision, don't ask me.
Yes, Dario. I've decided.
Good.
You did the right thing.
I couldn't stand seeing you like this any longer.
At least you'll get out of here too.
Meaning?
I only gave them one condition.
That without my trusted mechanic, I wasn't going anywhere.
What did they say?
What do you think…
They said yes.
You'll work on racing bikes.
Huh? Aren't you happy?
-Yeah… Spain? -Of course.
-The two of us, together. -When?
I'm leaving at the end of the month, but you can join me later.
I don't know, though.
I don't know.
I got everything wrong.
With you, Maddalena, the idea of working here…
The issue is that I never really knew what I wanted.
So you're not coming?
I'm sorry, but I need to spend some time by myself.
You understand?
I'm not sure I want to be a mechanic.
Or whether I want to make music, or maybe not.
-I realized one thing this summer. -What?
Don't take it the wrong way, 'cause I care about you.
What is it?
That it's good for me to stay away from you.
I think this is the first time that I celebrate Ferragosto.
What's there to celebrate, anyway?
It's the beginning of the end of summer.
Maybe that's why it's celebrated.
When something wonderful is about to end, it's sad and you have to celebrate.
-To make it happy? -Yes. To make it happy.
Everything okay?
Do you want to go home?
Don't worry. I'm fine.
How about you?
Will you sit here with me all night, or are you going to make a move?
Come on!
Go.
Hi.
-Come dance with me. -I can't.
-Come on! -No, I…
-I'm DJing here. -I don't care.
-And I can't dance. -I don't care.
Oh, God.
-I'm so sorry… -No, it's okay.
-No, seriously, don't worry. -Sorry.
-I was leaving, anyway. -Are you here alone?
Yeah, I don't know anyone apart from Ale, who invited me.
You're Alex's ex?
Shit… I'm sorry.
How about we finish your drink, since mine…
Okay.
-Maddalena. -Jacopo. Nice to meet you.
-Hi. -Hi, Sofi.
-What can I get you? -You decide.
Actually, make it two. One for him as well.
Really? Thank you.
So maybe you'll forgive me. I've been a bit of a bitch with you.
I've never seen her like this.
-Where's Dario? -No idea.
-Guys, have you seen Dario? -No. I was going to ask you.
There's no one at the DJ booth.
Wait.
-Wait a second. -What's wrong?
What is it?
I've never done it before.
I knew.
Who told you?
You can tell by how you dance. Seriously, man.
-Oh, come on… Really? -Yeah.
Is it a problem?
No, absolutely not.
Feel this.
It's beating so fast.
Feel it.
I can see you.
-What? -I can see you've got sad eyes.
I don't have sad eyes.
I was just thinking that today is Ferragosto.
How do you say that in German?
-How the hell do I know? -Come on, think about it.
It's just that you'll soon be leaving.
-In a few days, yeah. -And you'll leave me here.
It doesn't seem to bother you.
If that's the case, it's all right. Just say it.
Don't be stupid. Of course I care.
It doesn't seem like it.
We don't want any drama, do we?
-But we'll need to make some plans. -For what?
I looked up trains for Vicenza. If I buy a monthly pass, it'll be cheaper.
You can come too, but just know that it's dead here in winter.
When I come to Vicenza I'll get a hotel room, so you can sleep there.
And if you want, later, I can meet your parents and…
Edo, hold on a minute…
What do you think this is?
What?
You don't think we're a couple now, do you?
-Because we… -No!
-No? -No! I've got a boyfriend in Vicenza!
-A boyfriend? -Yes, it's been three years.
-Three years? -We've been together for three years.
And when were you going to tell me?
Well, we never really brought it up…
And you never asked me.
I didn't ask you if you had a girlfriend.
I thought things were clear.
-Three years is a lot. -I guess, yeah.
-So, no need to buy a pass. -No.
Right…
Are you upset?
No.
A little bit.
It's just that, Giulia… You make love in a way…
You're really great at it, you know?
We can do it again, if you want.
Want to?
PARADISE BEACH
Hey… you never get used to it, huh?
The fact that summer always ends.
I know it happens every year.
But it always hurts.
And all of a sudden, just like this.
One day it's summer, the next…
It's like getting stabbed in the heart.
I get this lump in my throat…
How about a Spritz?
That's more like it.
So… this is goodbye?
No drama, remember?
No drama.
-But can I at least be a little sad? -You can.
Just a bit, though.
Have a nice trip.
How do you say "goodbye" in German?
-Auf Wiedersehen. -Auf Wiedersehen.
I knew that one too.
But actually, it means, "See you again."
But anyway… you're really good at making love too.
I'll remember this summer.
It's still not over.
That's vacationers for you…
They come,
they break your heart,
and then they leave.
It's always like that.
Let's go get a drink, nincompoop.
Drowned!
Enough!
Come on!
Winner!
Hi.
I completed all the check-outs.
Last day.
You've done a good job.
Thank you.
And if you want to come work here again next year,
I'd be happy.
Summer.
Don't be sad.
Okay.
Where do I leave this?
Leave it there, the laundry room will handle it.
And this?
Keep it.
You're the only one with that name.
And maybe you can use it next summer.
Hey…
Winter is long. Keep in touch.
Or else, I'll kill you.
-What are you doing? -I'm studying.
So you want to go back to school.
What about you? What are you doing?
I'm going out. I think I won't be back tonight.
Does Mom know?
-Yes, I texted her. -Okay.
Is Ale leaving tomorrow?
-I'm sorry. -What are you studying?
English. Irregular verbs.
-If you want, I can quiz you sometimes. -Okay.
-Bye. -Bye.
Have fun.
Mom… if you need anything, just call.
What is this… are you worried about me?
No need to worry about me. I've got everything here.
My job, my house, my friends…
It's funny, though. You know?
All these years, I've witnessed you train, race, win…
Especially win.
But every time you were on that podium, I wasn't looking at you.
I was looking at reporters, your crew, your fans.
And your dad too.
I realized that you were a champion to them.
But to me, you were still the same young boy,
who used to walk with me, holding my hand and smiling.
Go.
Bye.
-Did they ask you? -I suggested it.
It's their last night, so I thought it'd be romantic.
Yeah, it is.
-Where will you sleep? -I won't sleep.
-Are you going out with Marty? -No.
-Wait, who are you going out with? -Some girl.
Who? Where did you meet her?
Wait.
Here.
I've created a monster.
-How about you? -What about me?
Are you seeing anyone tonight?
No.
-I deleted my account. -No way…
-Because of that girl? -Yeah, that too.
-When are you meeting her? -In a while.
Actually, I've got to go.
-Will you tell me how it went? -Yeah.
-Bye. -Bye.
-What are you doing? -Giving you a hug!
I'm giving you a hug, Sofia.
Thank you… Thank you so much.
-I love you. -Likewise.
I see you didn't change the lock.
Do you want to talk?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Just a bad dream.
Go back to sleep, it's early.
Summy.
If you ask me to stay, I will.
Ale.
I love you.
I love you too.
Summer…
-Have a nice trip. -Thank you.
-Hello. -Good evening.
We wish to advise passengers that…
…flight AZ7476 to Madrid…
I can't find my keys. Where are they?
I don't remember where I put them.
I look awful, don't I?
I fucked up… I know!
No, Mom. You look nice.
-I look nice? -Yeah.
-I don't think so. -You don't?
I just wanted to…
What?
I don't know. I just…
I don't know!
Look what I did.
Hi.
You feel like playing?
I was trying to tune it, but I can't do it.
Let me do it.
This is how you do it.
You start with an E. This is an E.
Then you go here.
And you do this.
All the way to this.
Then, it should sound more or less like this.
Do you want to hear my new song?
-Yeah. -Yes?
Okay.
Like a morning glow
Like that song that you should know
Like you feel nothing at all
You're like swimming in deep water
I'm not ready
I'm just me and you're so many
When the river flows Then I should drink it all
When the secret thoughts I contemplate at dawn
Take the weirdest form Then I should leave it all
The living I know
It's beautiful.
It's a song.
Want to have dinner, all three of us?
Yeah?
But first I'll go take a walk, okay?
Okay.
Summer
You're as hot as the kisses I've missed
You're full of a love that's now gone
That my heart wants to forget
Summer
The sun that warmed us every day
That painted wonderful sunsets
Now burns with fury
Another winter will come
A thousand rose petals will fall
The snow will cover everything
And maybe some peace will return
Summer
That gave its perfume to every flower
The summer that created our love
To then kill me with sorrow
I hate summer
Another winter will come
A thousand rose petals will fall
The snow will cover everything
And maybe some peace will return
Summer
That gave its perfume to every flower
The summer that created our love
To then kill me with sorrow
Another winter will come
A thousand rose petals will fall
The snow will cover everything
And maybe some peace will return
Summer
That gave its perfume to every flower
The summer that created our love
To then kill me with sorrow
I hate summer
