A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
[slow jazz music playing]
[music continues]
[all laughing]
[Isabella giggling]
[giggling]
I was thinking of staying here next summer.
-Hm? -Hm.
You say that every year.
-Really? -Yeah.
Yeah...
[inhales]
[exhales] But...
this summer is different.
You know I love you, right?
Mm-hm.
I'm tired.
-I'm going to bed. -Okay.
[water running]
[water stops]
[motorcycle revving]
[footsteps approaching]
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? -[barely audible] 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.
You know who will manage you?
[Ale] Yeah. He's good.
I always wanted to protect you. In every training session, every race.
That was all I wanted.
[motorcycle approaching]
[Jacopo] Oh.
[Maurizio] Did you see the rear skid out?
-Because I missed... -You missed the trajectory.
[Maurizio] Always follow it. Come, let's do it on foot.
The track's rubbered there. You can skid. Put your foot on the ground.
Look, I brought tomatoes...
-and tzatziki. -[Isabella] What's left? Salt and oil.
-[Anthony] No, I'll go get them. -No, stay there.
[chuckles]
-[in French] Madame. -[Blue, in Italian] Thank you.
-You want some? -Yeah.
[Isabella humming a tune]
[Anthony] It's good.
[Isabella continues humming]
Mom, why don't you sing with Dad anymore?
[Anthony] Uh...
Uh... because...
Who would stay at home with us?
[Isabella] No, it's not because of that.
We could have all traveled together.
[Isabella] Yes, love, 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.
[Anthony] What do you mean?
You've got lots of friends.
-Come on, Mom. That's not true. -You do.
Name one.
No, wait. Why don't you want to go to school?
I could be home schooled while we travel around with you.
[sighs] Blue, honey, it doesn't work like that.
[Blue] So, 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. -[Summer] Come on, Mom.
You're always sad when it's the three of us.
[Summer sighs]
Summy, please sit down. No one told you to... Summy!
-Leave her alone! Where are you going? -I'm not hungry anymore.
[Isabella] 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 cope, because I sacrificed my life for you.
-Is that true? -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?
[knocking]
[Anthony chuckles]
[sniffs]
You look so grown up.
I am grown up, Dad.
You know, every morning, when I wake up, 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.
[inhales]
I know that you're all caught up in your own lives,
your problems, your thoughts,
and I'm less and less present in those thoughts.
Maybe there are days when you don't think about me at all.
Why choose this lifestyle, if you don't like it?
Because...
[chuckles] Well, 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.
[Anthony inhales]
How far did you get?
I'm nearly done.
[small chuckle] Watch out.
It doesn't end well.
I'm gathering that.
[whispers] See you, little trumpet.
[door closes]
See you, trombone.

Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?
I decided today.
-[panting] Just like that? -[Irene] I texted you.
Or you wouldn't be here, right?
[sighs] But we can't even say goodbye properly.
Is this really how we're going to say goodbye?
[Sofia panting]
[Irene] Hi.
-I really like you. -I like you, too.
[sighs]
Sorry, I don't even know why I'm crying.
It's all right.

[car drives off]
[Summer] He was here for a week, then he left again.
[Ale] When will he be back?
I don't know. At the end of the summer.
Was your sister happy to see him?
Yeah, she was.
You weren't?
[sighs] I...
I don't know anymore.
Summy, I have something to tell you.
They made me an offer.
What kind of offer?
It's a really big racing team.
They asked me if I want to race with them next year.
Aren't you pleased?
The contract is good, because I'd go up one category.
So that's great news, right? You're going back to racing.
Yes, but I'd be doing it in Spain.
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.
[chuckles]
Have you made up your mind?
[inhales] 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?
[gasps]
Ale...
You have to go.
[Ale] You're not afraid that if I go it'll all be over?
[Sofia] And what did you tell him?
I said no. That I'm not worried about it.
So you told him to go?
I said that I'm fine with it.
Was I wrong?
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 pointless to tell you now, but...
Summy, I...
You?
[exhales]
What is it, Sofi?
I...
I met someone.
Ah.
Do you like her?
[chuckles]
Yes. She's turned everything upside down.
Is that really what you wanted to say?
Summy, 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 these 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 this doesn't make any 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.
Huh?
-Don't put your hands on my face. -Oh, really?
-What will you do about it? -Come on, don't do it.
Or what? What will you do?
-What the fuck are you doing? -Go ahead.
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 don't want any ice. I don't want it.
Oh, shit... it's broken, but I don't want ice.
Now we're even, all right?
Ah.
[laughs]
[exhales]
So you're leaving?
[sighs] Yeah. They gave me a few days to think about it, but they're in a hurry.
Have you decided?
[Dario exhales]
Whether you want to race or not is up to you. I can't tell you.
Yes, Dario. I've decided.
Good.
-You did the right thing. -[Ale chuckles]
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 wouldn't go anywhere.
What did they say?
What do you think?
They said yes.
You'll work on racing bikes.
[chuckles]
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.
[Dario exhales]
So you're not coming?
I'm sorry, but I need to spend some time by myself.
You understand?
[inhales]
I'm not sure I want to be a mechanic.
Maybe I want to make music... or maybe not.
[exhales]
I realized one thing this summer.
What?
Don't take it the wrong way, because I care about you.
What is it?
That it's good for me to be away from you.
[chuckles]
I think this is the first time that I've celebrated 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.
SISON BAR
[club music playing]
Everything okay?
Mm-hmm.
Do you want to go home?
Don't worry. I'm fine.
[music continues]
How about you?
Will you sit here with me all night, or are you going to make a move?
Come on!
-[Martina chuckles] -Go.
[Martina] Hi.
-[Martina] Come dance with me. -[Dario] I can't.
-[Martina] Come on! -[Dario] No, I...
-[Dario] I'm DJ-ing here. -[Martina] I don't care.
-[Dario] I can't dance. -[Martina] I don't care.
[Maddalena] 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 Ale's ex?
Shit... I'm sorry.
[both chuckle]
Uh...
How about we finish your drink, since mine...
[chuckles] Okay.
-Um... Maddalena. -Jacopo. Nice to meet you.
[giggles]
-[Sofia] Hi. -Hi, Sofi.
-What can I get you? -You decide.
Actually, make it two. One for him as well.
Really? Thank you.
It's a peace offering. I've been a bit of a bitch to you.
[crowd cheering]
I've never seen her like this.
[crowd cheering]
[chuckles]
-Where's Dario? -No idea.
-Guys, have you seen Dario? -[man] No. I was going to ask you.
[Ale] There's no one at the DJ booth.
[Dario chuckles]
Wait.
[clears throat]
-Wait a second. -What's wrong?
[exhales]
[Martina] Hm?
[exhales nervously]
What is it?
[inhales deeply]
I've never done it before.
I knew that already.
Who told you?
You can tell by how you dance.
-[chuckles] -[chuckles] For real.
-Oh, come on. Really? -Yeah.
[both laughing]
Is it a problem?
No, absolutely not.
[sighs]
Feel this.
[both chuckle]
It's beating so fast.
Feel it.
[Dario chuckles]
[Giulia] I can see you.
-[Edo] What? -[Giulia] I can see you've got sad eyes.
[Edo] I don't have sad eyes.
[Edo] I was just thinking that today is Ferragosto.
[Giulia] How do you say that in German?
-[Edo] How the hell do I know? -[Giulia] Come on, think about it.
It's just that you'll be leaving soon.
-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 to Vicenza. If I buy a monthly pass, it'll be cheaper.
You can come here too, but just know that it's dead here in the winter.
If you come from Vicenza, I'll get you a hotel,
so you can come stay with me.
Then, if you like, later on, I can meet your parents...
No, 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.
Oh.
And when were you going to tell me?
Well, it never really came 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 long time. -I guess, yeah.
-So, no need to buy a pass. -No.
Right...
Are you upset?
No.
A little bit.
[laughs]
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.
Do you want to?
[thunder booming]
[seagulls cawing]
[thunder booming]
PARADISE BEACH
[man] 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. -Mm-hmm.
I get this lump in my throat...
How about a Spritz?
[Isabella] That's more like it.

[music continues over radio]
So... this is goodbye?
No drama, remember?
No drama.
-But can I at least be a little sad? -You can.
Just a bit, though.
[chuckles]
[Edo] Have a nice trip.
[chuckles]
How do you say "goodbye" in German?
-[in German] Auf Wiedersehen. -[in German] Auf Wiedersehen.
[in Italian] I knew that.
But actually, it means, "See you again."
[chuckles]
[whispers] You know, you're really good at making love, too.
[chuckles]
I'll remember this summer.
It's not over yet.
That's vacationers for you...
They come,
they break your heart,
and then they leave.
It's always like that.
Come on. Let's get a drink, loser.
[shouting happily]
[Ale] Drowned!
[Dario] Stop it!
[Dario] Come on!
[shouting happily]
-[knocking] -[Dario] Winner!
[Laura] Hi.
I completed all the check-outs.
Last day.
You've done a good job.
Thank you.
If you want to come work here again next year,
I'd be happy.
[sighs]
Summer.
Don't be sad.
Okay.
[sighs]
Where do I leave this?
Uh... leave it there, the laundry people will take it.
And this?
Keep it.
You're the only one with that name.
-[chuckles] -And maybe you can use it next summer.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
Hey...
Winter is long. Keep in touch.
Or else... I'll kill you.
-[chuckles] -[Summer chuckles]
-What are you doing? -I'm studying.
So you want to go back to school.
What about you? What are you doing?
[Summer] I'm going out. I don't think I'll be back tonight.
Does Mom know?
-Yes, I texted her. -Okay.
Is Ale leaving tomorrow?
[sighs]
-I'm sorry. -What are you studying?
English. Irregular verbs.
Oh.
-If you want, I can quiz you sometime. -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...
[Laura inhales]
It's funny, though. You know?
All these years, I've witnessed you train, race, win...
[chuckles] 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 little boy,
who used to walk with me, holding my hand and smiling.
Go.
Bye.

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? -[chuckles] No.
-Wait, who are you going out with? -Some girl.
