[everyone] Jump, jump, jump!

Such as classic display of masculinity.

Obviously.

FAVIGNANA ISLAND

[whistle blows]

- [man] It's time, girls. - [girls groaning]

[man] Rise and shine! Wake up! Come on!

- [girl 1] Every morning! - How do you live in here?

- [girl 2] I'm so tired. - Have you ever heard of cleaning?

Haven't you ever heard of knocking?

[man] All right. To the beach. You have theory class.

But it's only seven!

[girl 1] I thought we were getting up at 8.

[man] You all had fun last night.

Now please put your phones in here.

Hurry up! Come on!

- [girl 2] Guess I'll get dressed. - [blowing whistle]

- [man] You too, guys. Wake up! - [girl 3] What the hell?

- What have you done to me, you bitches? - [laughter]

- [girl 2] Come on, put your shirt on. - [girl 3] Come on, girls.

[sighs]

- Let's leave them. - Yeah.

I'll be outside?

[ocean lapping]

- [boy 1] What's he trying to do now? - [boy laughing]

[boy 2] Who knows.

APPARENT WIND - TRUE WIND - HEAD WIND

True wind.

- Wow. - [both chuckle]

[man] At this campus, I promoted two assistants.

Francesco and Lorenzo.

So they'll be helping us with both the technical

and theoretical.

[man] Please.

[others giggling]

We already touched on true wind.

Now I'll show you three possible courses.

Assistant, huh?

[Lorenzo] Windward.

Reach.

[Lorenzo] And downwind.

And downwind, thanks.

The true wind is the vector sum of apparent wind

combined with the head wind.

- Well, actually, it's not true. - [both laughing]

[man] Hello? Excuse me?

Right, Sara.

[man] Don't be shy. Stand up.

[Sara] Well, uh...

Well, the apparent wind is the vector sum of true wind combined with the headwind.

- Right. - Right.

- Good point. Thank you. - [gentle music plays]

[man] Come on, guys, let's form a circle.

You're all doing great over there.

Okay, now switch sides. Good job.

- Apparent wind? - Idiot.

Good job. That's it.

Pass it underneath. In here. Okay.

In the middle... pull.

[chuckles]

Yes, I remember.

Let me help you.

- She got her! - [girl laughing]

Ha ha. Very funny.

What's happening?

This is Agata and Maurilio.

They represent the Sports Federation organizing the Gulf Regatta.

Yes. This is an important race to the champion.

Well, let's just say this year I have a good team.

♪ Oh oh... ♪

[boy 1] All right, you guys! You have to watch out.

[indistinct yelling]

[female singer vocalizing]

[girl] So, you think he's called me?

Come on, Barbara. Don't think about it.

I'm sure he still loves me, though.

[indistinct chatter]

Giuseppe, love me!

[laughing]

But you guys broke up three months ago.

Three months?

[Sara chuckles]

May I?

Sure.

[chuckles softly]

All right, I get it. Where's the dessert?

There isn't dessert.

[chuckling] Cute!

I'm going.

I wanted to come over and check on you.

Thanks.

Hey, guys. I want you all in bed in five minutes. Okay?

Coach Mario isn't happy.

Apparently, Francesco and I aren't taking things seriously.

- Have you been here before? - It's my fourth summer.

I used to just help out. It's my first year being an assistant.

[popping]

[laughter]

[crackling]

[whistling]

It's the village end-of-summer festival. Cool, right?

Yes.

[laughs]

Hey, what's so funny?

You look like a traffic light right now.

[both laughing]

Anyway, so what's the festival like?

I don't... I don't know. Uh, we're not allowed off the campus.

So you're telling me, in four years you've never gone to it?

No.

What a shame.

[Mario] Come on, everyone in. Come on.

- You've never seen fireworks? - Follow me. Come on. Come, come! Let's go!

[both laughing]

Now I see why you never went to the festival.

[animal snorts]

[Lorenzo] Maybe he knows the way. [chuckles]

[Sara chuckles]

They're pretty.

- [snorts] - [Sara gasps] Oh God!

[Lorenzo laughing]

Yes, very pretty.

[both chuckling]

Oh, maybe we shouldn't.

We can at least ask.

[indistinct chatter]

- [Lorenzo] Hi there. - Hello. Good evening.

[Lorenzo] Do you know where the festival is?

- [bartender] The other side of the island. - [men laughing]

[rock and roll music plays on a jukebox]

[chuckles]

Don't laugh.

I'm not laughing at them.

I'm just happy.

I love this festival.

It's a party.

Wanna join them?

No.

Come on.

You can jump through fire, but you're too shy to dance?

Just follow me.

[both chuckling]

How about a slower song?

[Lorenzo humming]

We're going to the furthest tip of the island

to practice what we've learned so far.

[Mario] Lorenzo, you sail with me.

Francesco, go get the other dinghy. Hurry.

[Francesco] Come on! Be careful. Don't get too close.

[Lorenzo] Spread out. Come on.

- You need to be further apart. Come on. - If you mumble they won't hear you.

- Little louder. - [Lorenzo] Hey, guys! Stay in the circle!

Marco, you're coming in too early, okay? Come on!

[somber music plays]

[Lorenzo] Come on, guys. We gotta keep going!

Alright, Carletto. That's it. Good job!

Sara!

Are you okay?

[Lorenzo] Lean out further. Lean out. You'll gain speed. Come on.

[Mario] Guys, I can't see you. I told you to turn slightly

with the dinghy. Come on, come on!

[Francesco] Coach. Coach!

Sara!

- [Sara coughing and choking] - Sara!

Hold onto your boat. Like that.

[Sara gasping]

- She can't do it. Let's get her. - Of course she can.

She can get out on her own. Tell her that.

Come on, Sara!

- You gotta get out on your own. - [gasping]

[coughing]

[Mario] Never mind. Let's go get her.

Stay calm, Sara!

[Mario] Give me your hand. Reach.

[Sara gasping]

Here.

- Climb up. - Come on, come on.

[grunting]

Come on. You got it.

You okay?

Wait. Hold on.

I think it's melting.

- You sure you're okay? - Yeah, I told you. It's nothing.

I found dessert.

[sighs]

I'm sorry about what happened.

Don't worry. It's okay.

- I was just following the rules and... - It's okay.

[sighs]

[Barbara] Hang on.

I'll be taking those.

Here's your phones.

[car horn honking]

Hey, let's calm down.

Listen up please. Don't go too far. The ferry will be here soon.

Oh well, he knew I was busy.

Saying goodbye really sucks.

Devastating.

Want some?

I'll pass, thanks.

[melancholy music plays]

He's devastated.

Barbara, can I ask something?

- Yeah. - Don't tell my mom about my leg, please?

- Okay? - Okay.

[boat horn blows]

- This is the last one. - [both grunting]

- I'll take it to the shed. - Okay. I'm going back to my dad's.

- See you tomorrow. - [Francesco] Bye.

[squeaking]

What are you doing to these boats? Look at the state of that bow.

What can we do? Leave it in a warehouse to rot?

I can't make miracles, Mario.

[Mario] I don't need a miracle. Just do your job.

Hey. Tomorrow we train, yeah? Just try and stay focused.

- My beautiful son. How was it? - It was good, thanks.

As far as I'm concerned, we can go now. Sounds good.

How was it? Huh?

Are you still good at sailing?

- Yeah, I had a nice time. - Ah! Glad to hear it. You eating already?

Hey, stop that!

- [laughs] - I cooked plenty of this.♪

- Yeah, exactly. Go get your own plate. - Mm. I brought dessert.

Here they are. Baked cassatellas. Your favorite.

[Sara's mom sighing]

Hm! Where are you going? Are you getting some more?

No, I'm going to get high at the club.

- [Sara's mom] Oh, I'll go with you. - Yeah, you should.

Hm. Hm.

- [crash] - [thud]

Sara?

I'm okay.

[Sara's mom] Sara, what's going on?

[Sara wincing]

It's nothing. I just dropped the plate.

[Sara's mom] What happened?

My love, what's wrong? What happened?

[Sara gasping]

Sara, what's wrong?

- It's a cramp. I can't get up. - Stretch, stretch, stretch.

Can you feel it when I press right here? I've got you. Okay.

- [somber music plays] - [Sara's mom kisses]

[ocean lapping]

[music swells]

[Lorenzo's dad] It's a waste of money!

[woman] It's not your money!

[Lorenzo's dad] What's wrong with living here?

[woman] I've already decided.

- [Lorenzo's dad] You decided what? - [Lorenzo sighs]

[woman] I called a real-estate agent.

[dog barks outside]

- Oh, my little man. - [Lorenzo's dad] Good morning.

Muah! How did it go? Hands off! They're for the neighbors.

- What's wrong? - She wants to leave us. She's moving out.

You're leaving? Where are you going?

I'm looking for an apartment somewhere nearby.

Oh, hey! I've been here my whole life. And you're a man now. And you...

Just forget it.

At my age, I deserve some privacy.

- Privacy? - Yeah.

[Lorenzo's dad] What do you need privacy for?

Why do I even bother talking to you anyway?

Listen, I have a few errands to run tomorrow.

Don't worry, I have training in the afternoon.

[muffled voices on TV]

Yeah, Ms. Mary.

What's wrong? Your coffee!

Lorenzo!

Do you want this coffee?

Privacy.

Ugh! Why did I ever choose to leave my husband? My God!

He left you.

[woman] Come down. Now all the way up.

Good. Now you can come down.

Now bend it.

- This hurt? - A bit.

[knocking]

Come in.

[door opening]

Good morning.

You can get dressed.

- Good morning. Welcome. - Thank you.

I got the first flight out.

Papa. [chuckles]

Hi.

Three years after the first diagnosis,

Sara's muscular dystrophy has entered a new stage.

[doctor] As you know, we still don't have a cure.

Have you had similar incidents before yesterday?

[somber music plays]

Um.

Uh, I had a cramp during a sailing course recently.

Why didn't you tell me?

[doctor] Sara's muscles are getting weaker.

[doctor] Of course, we'll do our best to slow down the process.

[music intensifies]

How about some ice cream, sweetie?

- [doctor] Yes, I'm ready. Come on in. - Yes, come on. Let's get some ice cream.

[Sara sighs]

Um, I think I'd like to be alone.

- But your father just got here. - Let her go. It's okay.

I'll go to the hotel. I have a couple of things to do.

[sighs] We'll catch up this evening, okay?

Bye.

[soulful, melancholy music plays]

[waves lapping]

The doctors told me this would happen.

Sooner or later I won't be able to walk.

Hey, hold on. Don't give up.

I'm so sorry.

We're seeing those sailing guys tonight.

You coming?

You could see Lorenzo.

What's even the point?

[sighs]

- [gentle music plays] - Maybe I should go in a wheelchair.

[both laughing]

You've been hanging out with me far too long.

[Lorenzo's dad] I changed the stick. This one's much better, right?

Thanks, Dad.

[Mario] His Majesty is ready.

The regatta is in a month, and you show up late?

Get in. Now!

He's such a pain.

Yes, but he has a point.

[Mario] Pay attention, you guys!

Take it from inside.

- [Barbara] Who's your new Math teacher? - The tall, skinny one.

Ah.

Ah!

I got Mrs. Suso.

I don't know what I'll do. I swear.

[Sara laughing]

How was the party last night?

- I didn't stay very long. - Huh?

- It was okay. - [Lorenzo] Sara.

[indistinct chatter]

So?

How was your first day at school?

Fine, but what are you doing here?

What do you think?

I texted you.

- I didn't see. I'm sorry, but I'm... - [Sara's mom] Sara!

[car horn honking]

My mom.

[car horn honking]

- [Sara's mom] I'm here. - I'm coming!

I'm sorry. I gotta go.

[melancholy music plays]

- You and I have to talk. - [Lorenzo] Talk to you soon!

[car engine starts]

If you answer.

- How did it go? - All right.

[car horn blaring]

Can you get out of the way, please? Look at that.

[synth music playing]

One second.

Hello?

Yes?

Hey, my phone's in your car.

Yeah, I figured that out.

I accidentally dropped it.

[Sara chuckles]

- [Sara's dad] Vegetables, burgers... - [Sara's mom] Wow!

[Sara's dad] Super healthy stuff.

[Sara's mom] How nice. A tofu burger. Hurrah!

Oh, no. I mean it's really nice. I'm not saying it's not...

- Are you two kids finished? - Yeah. You can't expect it to be...

Here...

Right.

Let's make him happy. Let's try this yummy tofu burger.

[exhales heavily]

[sighs]

Hey, listen, Sara. Um...

Your mother and I, um...

I mean, we talked and...

We were thinking that...

- We came up with an idea... - [dish thuds]

Perhaps your dad could move in with us.

For a while. What do you think?

- Okay. - Just a temporary arrangement, you know?

Yes.

I could ask to work remotely.

Some time together to overcome this...

this obstacle.

Mm.

Well, I mean, the situation is really bad.

[sighs] No!

No. No, not at all.

It was only an idea.

If you're okay with it, Sara.

To be together.

Okay, then. See you in the morning.

[somber music plays]

[female vocalist humming]

[seagulls calling]

[phone chimes]

[indistinct chatter]

[music continues]

Good morning.

All lost item inquiries go through me.

[Sara chuckles]

Thank you.

Please, right this way.

It's beautiful.

It's truly beautiful.

[Lorenzo chuckles]

It's a special place. I never brought anyone here.

[Sara chuckles] Yeah... I'm sure that's the truth.

Don't you trust me?

[chuckles softly]

- You're a tough nut to crack. - [Sara chuckles]

[Lorenzo chuckles]

I used to come with my mother.

[Sara chuckles]

And now you're too old to come here with her.

My mother died.

- I'm sorry, I didn't... - No, I'm sorry. I ruined the moment.

Actually,

thank you for telling me.

Close your eyes.

- What? - Yeah, close your eyes.

- [Sara chuckles] - Come on.

[gentle music plays]

- [Lorenzo] Trust me. Trust me. - [Sara laughing]

Almost there.

Little more.

Okay.

- Go down. - What?

[chuckles] Lie down.

Go, go, go.

Open.

[Sara] It's wonderful.

[gasps]

[Lorenzo] Would you like to start again?

[both chuckling]

[female vocalist humming]

[Sara and Lorenzo chuckling]

Thank you.

Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

[traffic humming]

[engine starts]

[moped driving away]

Well...

[camera snaps]

...he's sweet. He's so kind.

- One more word, and I'm out of here. - [both laughing]

Don't be jealous.

[indistinct chatter]

What are you trying to say?

Nothing, sorry.

[chuckles]

I'm seeing him again later.

- You're seeing him today? - Yeah.

You're supposed to let him chase you.

After what he told me, I don't think he has to.

Sara, remember. He's still a man.

You must make him suffer no matter what.

- That's how it is. - [laughs]

[Barbara chuckling]

Listen,

please don't get mad at me,

but did you tell him?

[school bell ringing]

No, I haven't.

But you have to tell him.

[sighs] I'm so happy with him. I don't... I don't want to lose him.

- You're saying this now, but when? - When what?

I always tell everything to Giuseppe.

But he hasn't responded to you in three months!

[Barbara] Sara!

That was really unfair of you.

You're the one always breathing down my neck.

- I have nothing to do with your condition. - Right, you don't.

Stay out of it.

[Barbara sighs]

[indistinct chatter]

[sighs tensely] There she is.

- [Sara's mom] Hi. - Hi.

[phone chimes]

[Lorenzo] Look at where I am!

The ocean looks nice. I'm training and thinking of you.

Today it's kind of hard. The wind is crazy!

[Lorenzo chuckling]

Where are we going?

[brakes squeaking]

The hospital.

[Sara's mom] We got your test results back.

Uh... the doctor has decided to enroll you in a rehab program.

But I'm feeling totally fine.

[sighs] Look, Sara, it's just a few exercises.

They're supposed to slow down the disease. It'll help you.

[Sara's mom] Yes, it'll be good for you.

[somber music plays]

Sorry, how long have you known this?

[Sara's mom] Not long.

- [Sara's dad] Not long. Yeah. - Sure, not long.

- [Sara's mom] Yeah. - Not long.

[Sara's dad sighs]

We've got your sneakers, your gym kit. Your mother packed it all.

- They even have a pool. - Yes!

[Sara's mom sighs] Leave it. I'll get it.

- Let's go. - No, I'm going in alone.

- [girl] And this is Dory. - [boy] Hi.

[girl] She's the latest one. I got her falling down the stairs.

[girl] Oh, I forgot.

And this is Diva, one of the very first ones.

[boy laughing] You're lucky.

I have to dress three sizes larger to hide this thing.

[girl laughing]

- One shoulder blade up, and one down. - Wonderful.

And you?

What about me?

I have nothing wonderful to show.

Hm.

[doctor] Try standing on the foot that hurts.

[splashing]

Just take a deep breath.

[inhales]

Follow the rhythm. This is fundamental.

Oh, look. Watch her do it.

Now breathe slowly and deeply.

Right. Come on, continue.

[inhales]

It hurts. I can't do it.

Don't worry. It's normal for the muscles to get tired.

[Sara sighs]

[announcer] Here's their trainer. Let's get him up here.

[distant applause and laughter]

[girl laughing] These old dudes!

Come on, guys. It's almost our turn.

[announcer]...470, Ricci and Danesi. Round of applause.

[Mario] Guys, they've already started.

What are you doing?

[Mario] Go and wash your face off. Please, go.

You know there are sponsors here.

[announcer] And here comes our next team up, the 29er Juniors.

[announcer] Representing the club today, Francesco Lombardo and Lorenzo Giardini.

A round of applause.

Woohoo!

Here they are.

These are the rising stars trained by our champion.

- Well done, Mario. - It's thanks to your son's talent.

[announcer] This will be the first Gulf Regatta

for these two young men.

- [cameras snapping] - [applause]

[gentle music plays]

I got held up. Have you been waiting long?

[Sara chuckles] You look nice.

Well, it's just a shirt.

[Sara chuckles]

It's on the house.

[indistinct chatter]

- [Sara chuckling] - [man] Lorenzo,

I'm going back to work. Are you going to be out late tonight?

No, no. Don't worry.

Bye.

It's about my moped. He's the handyman at the club.

Today the members and sponsors were there.

When we have home races, the pressure's on.

[indistinct chatter]

You know, I used to do under-14 regattas, too.

Yeah?

One time, I came in second at nationals.

Second at nationals?

Wow.

Bravo.

I've won three.

[both laughing]

Okay. So why did you quit?

Because I had no time for school or my friends or anything.

I still love sailing more than anything. I just don't compete in races.

Racing's the best.

What about the adrenaline?

Before the race even begins, at the starting point?

- Do you mean the stress? - No... I don't...

[melodic music plays]

Turn around.

[Sara laughing]

Imagine it.

You're at the buoy at the start.

[female vocalist humming]

- You hear the wind? - No.

- [Sara laughing] - [Lorenzo blowing]

- Now you hear it? - Yeah.

And... what else do you see? What do you see?

Uh, what do I see?

Two guys playing, someone tanning over there.

What do I see?

[Lorenzo] Don't you see the other boats?

And the crowd cheers.

Sara!

Sara! Sara!

One more second and then...

- Boom! - [Sara laughing]

- [Lorenzo] The race has begun! - [music swells]

[Lorenzo] The boats are moving!

And fighting to the bitter end! Who will cross the finish line first?

There they are! They're coming!

First! We came in first!

- [laughing] We did it! - [Lorenzo] Yes! We won!

[music continues]

[Lorenzo] Are you hurt?

[Sara] No, it's nothing.

It's just a sprain.

- Sorry, it's my fault. You want to sit? - No.

Want to sit?

[Sara sighing]

Where does it hurt?

[music swells]

[female vocalist humming]

People are here.

Yeah, you're right. Sorry.

I'm a disaster today.

You want to go home?

[woman squealing]

[clanking]

[Sara] Hold on.

- [Sara's dad sighs] - You got to push it.

- Then pull it out. Like that. - [Sara's dad laughs]

[clanking]

- This sofa's ten years old at least. - [laughing] Yeah, I know.

I always carry this with me.

Look. Let's put it here.

[Sara's dad] In front of your trophies. Actually, no, let's put it here.

[both laughing]

- How's that? - [Sara's mom] Boris.

Get ready.

- Isn't this yours? - Uh, yeah.

- Okay. I found it on my desk. - Sorry.

[Sara's mom] Come on. Get ready. We're going to the hospital, okay?

But it's Saturday.

[Sara's mom] That doesn't matter, my love. Let's go. Hurry up.

[exhaling]

Take a deep breath in.

And breathe.

Exhale. Out through your mouth.

[water sloshing]

I recently had a problem.

This time it was a bit higher up on my leg.

I was with a friend...

And I didn't have the guts to tell him the truth.

That's a different kind of problem.

[Sara exhaling]

But since he's a friend,

he'll accept you as you are.

Exhale from your mouth and push down.

Push.

[Sara exhaling]

Yes.

[both laughing]

[gentle, upbeat music plays]

[indistinct children's voices]

[traffic passing]

[Sara's mom]...in the hope it slows down the disease. You see?

[Lorenzo] Slow down?

[Sara's mom] Slow down, yes. Slow it down.

[Sara's mom] Sara.

What's going on?

Uh, he was downstairs, and we invited him up, because...

Susanna.

[Susanna] He was waiting for you. [chuckles nervously]

Lorenzo.

Lorenzo!

[indistinct chatter]

Beautiful. Is this helping you with your training?

[lighter sparking]

You think this is my first one?

Give it here. You don't even know how to light it.

[lighter sparking]

[woman exhales]

[woman] What's her name?

- Sara. - [woman] Well, what did she do to you?

- She didn't do anything, Auntie. - Then what's wrong, huh?

It's the first time I'm really into someone.

[Lorenzo's aunt] So?

Short of a miracle, in a few months she'll be in a wheelchair.

Ah.

[sighs, clears throat]

[chuckles]

You know, I married a man who was as healthy as a horse,

and after six months he cheated on me.

I wish I could have put him in a wheelchair myself, that bastard.

[Lorenzo chuckles]

Papa never recovered from Mom's disease.

[clicks tongue] Your dad's always been like that.

He was born depressed.

[grunts]

It was a hard time for him, that's true,

but it was his choice to live on his own.

Though he did have a few fans.

- Papa? - [Lorenzo's aunt] Yeah.

[Lorenzo laughs]

Who?

Maria.

- Maria from the market? - Mm-hm.

- But she's old. - [Lorenzo's aunt] Mm-hm.

Your father has always had a terrible temper. It's true.

But you know, I've never seen anyone in love

the way your father was in love with your mother.

It was beautiful.

[gentle music plays]

[sighs]

I'm scared.

Of course. Who wouldn't be?

[seagulls calling]

[Lorenzo] Did you find an apartment?

[Lorenzo's aunt] Yes, it's 500 square feet and only two minutes away from here.

What are you planning to do with all this stuff?

- They're memories. - [door opens]

That one belonged to your father's cousin, Franco.

- [Lorenzo's dad] Morning. - Hi Dad.

I see you're actually moving.

Stop it. Leave it alone!

- I'm just trying to sit on the couch. - [muffled thud]

Or are you taking that with you, too?

[Lorenzo's aunt] No, you can keep your couch.

Thank you. There's a girl waiting outside for you.

[muffled voices on TV]

In the courtyard?

The club's handyman brought her to the popular district.

- Papa... - [Lorenzo's dad] Go, go. Don't worry.

[Lorenzo sighing]

[door opens]

[hurried footsteps]

[door banging]

Uh...

I should've told you.

You should have.

When I was 13,

I started to sway while I was walking.

[chuckling] My mother thought I was drunk.

I even got in trouble for it.

[chuckles]

And then we found out the actual reason.

[takes deep breath]

I didn't want you to be with me out of pity.

I wouldn't be with anyone simply out of pity.

A lot of people do. [sighs]

My dad agreed to come back and live with my mom so we could be...

["Promise" by Ben Howard plays]

But you could get any girl you wanted to.

Let me get this straight.

Did you come here to dump me or to apologize?

Because if you're trying to dump me, it's too late for that.

[Sara chuckles]

Look at me.

I've thought about it, and I want to be with you.

Okay.

[door unlocking]

[muffled voices on TV]

- Where have you been? - Just out.

They told me you cut class today. What were you doing?

Sara.

You can do anything you want, but you just can't vanish.

We need to know where you are. Do you understand?

Sara?

[door slamming]

We're happy you came back home safe.

- [both laugh] - [splashing]

[boy] Hey. Come on, get in.

- What's his problem? - Do you think this is useful?

- Useful? - The rehabilitation, the exercises.

Of course it's useful. Soon we'll swim like dolphins.

[Sara laughing]

[coughing]

[girl gasping]

[doctor] Caterina, what's wrong?

Caterina!

Here I am. Come, come. Just breathe. Just breathe...

Deep breath.

Breathe... Better?

- Yes. - Yes? Okay.

- That's enough for today. Let's rest. - Yes.

[somber music plays]

[Lorenzo] There's a strong current.

[ringing]

[Sara breathing heavily]

[sounds echoing]

[melancholy, soulful music plays]

[breathing rapidly]

[thud]

- [indistinct chatter] - [doctor] Not necessarily.

To be clear, Sara had a cardiac circulatory collapse.

I know it's hard to hear, but we can prevent future episodes

with a ventilator.

Hm?

- Thank you, Doctor. - See you tomorrow.

- See you tomorrow. - [Sara's mom] Goodbye.

What happened?

What's wrong?

You were out late last night.

And today she waited for you for two hours in the sun.

Why do you think I warned you?

Sara's life will never be normal. Do you get that now?

Let's go, Susanna.

[Susanna sighing]

[somber piano music plays]

I'm Sara's friend.

[doctor] I'm sorry, she's resting now.

How is she?

We have a few tests to run, but she'll spend the night,

just to be safe.

[muffled TV program]

[Lorenzo's dad] You're still up? What time is it?

I don't know.

[Lorenzo's dad sighing]

Sorry for yesterday.

[Lorenzo's dad] Look how scared you are in this picture.

[Lorenzo's dad sighing]

[Lorenzo's dad] You really look like her, you know?

- I don't remember her. - You were too young.

No, that's not it.

It's like I've tried to erase Mom from all of my memories.

I don't know. Maybe it's less painful this way.

Listen, Lorenzo.

For years, thinking of your mom has been very painful.

She was so courageous when she got sick.

I, on the other hand, could only seem to get angry.

And now?

I was fortunate to love your mother.

Pain is part of life, Lorenzo.

We have to learn to live with it.

Can I have this?

Of course you can. It's yours.

Get some sleep.

[somber instrumental music plays]

[light switch clicks]

[indistinct chatter]

Welcome back.

Hi, Barbara.

Hey.

Hey.

So?

What are we doing?

[Boris and Barbara chuckling]

Please. You first.

[Boris laughs]

You're just telling me?

I hate you so much.

[kitchen noise]

How was it, though?

I don't want to know. [sighs]

[phone vibrating]

So he brought you to see some burned down roof.

[Sara chuckling]

And to a cave...

He could be a serial killer.

[phone vibrates]

Oh mama.

Look, I know he's outside.

He's texted me like ten times.

Then he's also a stalker.

[Sara laughing] No.

[Barbara sighs]

You should probably go talk to him.

[Barbara sighs]

My condition is getting worse.

[chuckles]

And my mother won't leave me alone.

And I'm breathing down your neck.

Where's Caterina?

Yesterday her heart suddenly failed.

[somber, melodic music plays]

That's not possible.

[muffled voices on TV]

[Susanna sighs]

She was only ten.

I know. I know, my love.

And we will do many things together.

Many.

[girl] Lorenzo.

- Where's Francesco? - [girl laughing]

This party is insane, right?

[girl] I'll get you a drink.

Yo, Fra.

- Hey, guys. This is my best friend. - Hi.

What are you doing?

[Francesco mocking] Nothing. What am I doing?

What did you take?

What are you doing?

I feel awesome. Chill out.

Where were you today? The regatta's in ten days.

[Lorenzo] Hey, Francesco!

Francesco!

Fra? Hey, help me!

Francesco!

[girl] He's completely wasted!

[Mario] What happened is a serious offense.

And the worst part is that you were there, too.

Got it?

Don't worry, it's okay.

We found you a new partner for the regatta.

But Francesco?

Well, Francesco, his father and I decided he should take a break.

But without Francesco what's even the point?

- I'll head out. - I'll see you.

[Mario sighs]

Lorenzo,

we have invested in you because you're so talented.

The boats, the trips... Who do you think pays for that?

Huh? Maybe you don't realize you don't have a choice.

[somber, melodic music plays]

Fine, I get it.

What do you get?

[chuckles]

Without me, you couldn't even afford your jacket.

Is that what you get?

[Lorenzo breathing tensely]

[shower trickling]

[phone vibrating]

[Susanna] Hm.

[Sara] How long do we have to be here?

Oh, come on.

This is supposed to be fun.

- You didn't even go to school today. - Yeah. So what?

You think I don't know how many times you skipped school

to go shopping with Barbara?

Hm?

Today it's with Mom.

For Boris?

[Sara chuckles]

No? A touch of color for once.

Have you found anything?

Maybe.

[snorting]

- It's too long. - [Susanna] Let me see.

Well, yeah. A bit large perhaps. Try this one.

Here you go.

Mm... I don't think it suits me.

Mama?

Mama...

[Lorenzo chuckles]

[Susanna chuckling]

You're gorgeous. Come out here.

[sighs]

[gentle, uplifting music plays]

[kisses]

I'll leave you two.

See you later.

[chuckles]

- Your mother's great. - [Sara laughing] She's crazy.

I really missed you.

- You say, "I missed you, too." - [Sara chuckles]

Yes, I missed you.

[Lorenzo] Do you think it's crazy to invite her?

Well, I don't think it's that normal, yeah?

- Okay, it's ready. Here you go. - [Lorenzo] Thank you.

- Ah! It's hot. - You could've come up with something else.

But, Auntie, we have this in common.

[Lorenzo] I think you've ironed it too much.

No one has ever complained about that.

Here.

- I look like a banker. - You look brilliant.

[Lorenzo sighs] Okay. Come on. Thanks.

Wish me luck.

Don't forget to get some flowers for Maria.

Like I'd forget that.

[melodic electronic music plays]

[Boris] Sara, how does your necklace taste?

[doorbell rings]

[door unlocking]

Aw!

Thank you. You shouldn't have.

How nice of you. [Susanna sighing]

- Actually, they're for Sara. - [chuckles] Of course.

- [Sara] Thank you. - [door shutting]

- [Susanna] I'll take that. - [Lorenzo] Thank you.

- Hi, Lorenzo. - [Lorenzo] Hello.

Lovely. I'll get a vase.

[Sara] Yes.

And now, for the grand finale.

Just the way you like it.

- [Susanna and Boris laughing] - I think we should do a nice toast.

Hm?

Let's get drunk.

Ah. Okay, finally.

[Susanna laughing]

[chuckles]

[Sara] Just one more second.

Now you can turn around.

It's only for nighttime.

- [chuckles] - [Lorenzo] Does it hurt?

Does it bother you?

I would never have imagined you sitting at a table with my parents.

I wonder...

Wonder what?

I wonder...

what else could we do together?

I'd like to maybe leave.

And then?

And then...

I'd like to wake up every morning...

together with you.

And then?

[melodic music plays]

[rustling]

Sara.

What's this?

And then...

[Lorenzo chuckles]

The Gulf Regatta.

I found a club we can join together.

You've been there. You know it. It's my father's friend's.

[sighs] Lorenzo, I...

I'm out of practice. I'm...

Think about it.

[gentle, somber music plays]

Let's think about it.

[music swells]

[ocean lapping]

Then we have these. We're selling them, you know?

I'm not interested in lasers, though. You told me you had a 29er.

Yes, I have one over there.

- Then let's go. - Come on, I'll show you.

[man] Here it is.

It was one of the members'

He'd bought it for his daughters.

But it hasn't touched water for five years.

- It's a bit scratched down here. - [man] That's where it hit the rocks.

What do you think?

I don't think it's in terrible condition.

I've repaired much worse than this.

Has Sara decided?

She's still thinking about it.

I think it's insane.

Remember, four years ago you dreamed of going to the Olympics.

Don't get cold feet over the Two Gulfs Regatta.

It's just one gulf, not two.

[chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

But yeah, I'm a little scared.

I'm really nervous I can't do it.

[somber music plays]

[water sloshing]

Okay, well, I don't think it's a good idea.

- Papa, can you please let her speak? - Yeah.

Anyway, subjecting your body to such physical exertion

will obviously have repercussions.

However, I can write you a certificate.

Say something!

But the doctor just said she could write a certificate for her.

- So what if she can write a certificate? - Papa, I know I wanna do it.

What exactly are the consequences?

This disease is inevitably degenerative.

The regatta could accelerate things.

You hear that?

What am I supposed to do?

Lock myself in?

And just wait around?

[door bangs]

[door opening]

Sara...

[door shutting]

That's the hospital you were born in.

I should've stayed in Palermo.

[Boris sighs]

We had so much fun when you were a baby. [chuckles]

I could've made you happy.

Papa, you did make me happy.

[chuckles]

- Do you remember... - [laughing] What?

- The ice creams at Grandma's? - [Boris laughing]

Pistachio stracciatella.

- You loved that. - [both laughing]

[Sara sighing]

Or... Or the... The time you forced me to ride a bicycle.

I was scared of falling off.

[Boris sighs]

Or when we would go sailing.

Hm.

If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have discovered my passion.

[gentle music plays]

You're right.

[Sara sighs]

Maybe I never would have met Lorenzo.

[laughing] Hey, now. This... You just want me to sign your certificate.

- I know you. - [both chuckling]

Perhaps.

Yeah, but, Papa, he's my love.

My first love.

And I want to remember him when everything gets difficult.

Yes, Sara.

[ropes tightening]

No, no, no. Cover this properly. It's a surprise.

[man] Okay.

- Are you sure she's coming? - Gimme a break, Dad.

[car pulling up]

They're here.

[car doors opening]

- Be good. - [kissing]

Be careful.

[Boris] Good luck.

Take it.

- Thanks. - There. You can't lean out too much,

but at least you won't end up in the water.

[distant applause]

[indistinct chatter]

What's up?

[boat winches cranking]

[Sara chuckling]

[announcer] They're coming. They're entering the water.

[horn blowing]

Can you hear the wind?

- Can you see the other boats? - Sara?

Stay calm.

Deep breath.

Sara, you all right?

[horn blows]

[sails rustling]

[gentle, energizing music plays]

- Shall we turn? - Okay.

Three, two, one, go!

We're going too slow.

[music intensifying]

We're gaining more speed!

[Lorenzo] Watch out!

[cranking]

Look at the gennaker.

[Lorenzo] I think it's stuck. I'll try and free it up.

Haul in the sheet.

[music intensifies]

Come on, we're catching up. Yes!

We're right behind them. We're gonna get third.

[Sara] Come on, we're so close!

[Lorenzo] Be careful!

- Get in. - Don't worry about it.

- [Lorenzo] Sara! - [splash]

There you are!

I really wanted to win.

But you got the turn wrong.

Are you okay?

I'm good.

[both laughing]

- They were this close to third place. - I heard that.

- It's incredible. - Yeah.

They almost came in third.

- Mm-hm. - It's incredible, right?

Yes, incredible. Yes...

- [vehicle pulling up] - Hey. They're here.

Oh.

- [Susanna] So, how was it? - Hey. Come out here.

- [Lorenzo chucking] - [Boris chuckling] What?

This is my dad.

- Good morning. - Nice to meet you. Boris.

- Good morning. - Thank you.

And now... yeah. We can calm down. [laughs]

Hm. A bit, huh? Mm-hm.
