Where are you taking me?

They sell wedding dresses, and you're getting married.

- No, this isn't the right place for me. - Come on.

I feel ridiculous.

You're beautiful.

You should be up here in this wedding dress, not me.

Stop it, Mom. If you want to do this, do it right.

I'm 60.

I'm 27, I'm young, and in the prime of my life.

Yet, I haven't had sex in ages.

Giulia. Please.

Mom, of the two of us, you're the coolest.

- She's taking it. - Perfect.

Okay, I'll take it.

Here.

So, Mrs. De Rosa, the deposit on your dress is 8,000 euros.

This card isn't working.

Wait, I'll give you another one.

Try this one.

I'm sorry, ma'am. It seems your cards have been blocked.

Blocked?

You had my cards blocked?

Would you please leave us alone? Thank you.

- Sit down, Mom, so we can talk. - I'm not sitting. I'm fine here.

So?

The legal process is too long. I couldn't risk you ruining yourself.

The legal process for what?

Exploitation of a vulnerable adult.

Exploitation of a vulnerable adult?

Help me understand.

Am I the vulnerable one?

DECEITFUL LOVE

A FEW MONTHS EARLIER

Grandma!

Happy birthday.

- Hello. - Hi, Gabriella.

Hi, my dear.

Happy birthday.

- Happy birthday, Mom. - Thank you.

Thank goodness there's only one candle.

- What's this? - A surprise.

Thank you. Come here.

I thought you missed Rocco VIII, and that you needed company.

You know I didn't want any more dogs.

She's not alone. I'm here. You always act like you forget it.

Like you forget our mother's birthday.

Fuck. Sorry, Mom.

No, don't worry. Only children's birthdays are important.

Sure, let's always make excuses.

Can you try not to fight on my birthday, at least?

- Shall we eat something? - Sadly, we have to go back to Naples.

- You? - Actually, I have plans.

But if you want, I'll stay.

No, go.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Sofia. - Bye, Gabriella. Sorry.

- Bye, Mom. - Bye.

Come here.

Here.

Excuse me.

I didn't mean to scare you.

My car's broken down.

- You're hurt. You're bleeding. - It's nothing.

I crashed. I fell asleep at the wheel.

Do you have a phone? I need to call a tow truck.

- Mine is dead. - Here.

I put the number in.

I'm Elia, by the way.

Gabriella.

Yes, hello.

I need a tow truck.

Yes, the address is...

Via dei Canneti, 26.

Via dei Canneti, 26.

Okay, thanks.

- Are they coming? - In a couple of hours.

- Good luck. - Thank you. You saved me.

It's about to rain.

I live nearby. Do you want to wait at my place?

You don't want to wait two hours in the rain.

Thank you. Gladly.

Oh, God!

Come in.

It's very nice here.

It's a hotel, right?

Yes. It's closed now. I'm doing some renovation.

- This is my private apartment. - Do you live here all year?

Yes.

Alone?

No, my son is here with me.

Ah.

This is his T-shirt.

If you want...

I'll make something warm.

Thank you.

But... how dare you?

This is a Patek Philippe Nautilus.

Sapphire glass.

It's an incredible piece.

It was my father's. He collected watches.

You're not worried about thefts?

The hotel is empty now.

I told you. I'm not alone. My son lives here with me.

This must be the tow truck. Hello?

Well, then...

Thank you.

A beer. Thank you.

Cishet? How boring.

Wanna bet he's up for it?

- Go. - Go!

- Me? - Yeah.

What was it? "Wanna bet he's up for it?" Go!

Go.

Watch and learn.

What he's having.

- From the '77 concert. - What?

- The T-shirt. - How should I know?

The shit came in?

Usually, when someone has two phones,

they're either a drug dealer or a fugitive.

What do you care?

Thank you.

Leaving already?

Look, kid. What the fuck do you want?

How much did you just win?

Go back to your friends.

Thanks for the beer. It's on him!

- Go! - Go!

Mom. Are you spacing out, or what?

Hello, Nico.

No. How's it going?

Where's my T-shirt?

- Which one? - The Sex Pistols one.

How should I know? You leave everything lying around.

Whatever. I'm going out.

- I gave you a fair amount. - You have to pay what I asked.

- Give me the keys! - I won't.

- I said give me the keys. - Or what?

You don't want to find out.

Aldo. What's going on here?

This guy won't pay me in full for the job.

I know about cars. I can tell when I'm being ripped off.

- What's left to pay? - No, no.

- 200 euros. - Here you go.

Here.

- Of course, I'll pay you back. - Sure. No problem.

Thank you.

Why are you here?

- Actually, I was looking for you. - Oh.

You know the T-shirt I gave you?

It's actually my son's favorite.

I need it back.

Do you live far away?

Actually, it's not very close.

- Sorry, I'm being intrusive. - No problem.

Let's go.

You're not from here, are you?

Can you tell?

My mother was from Naples,

but we moved to the United States when I was a kid.

Why the Amalfi Coast?

I've just bought a boat from a guy at the port.

Did you threaten him too?

I threaten everyone.

Is it much farther?

- Why have we stopped? - My B&B is nearby.

I want to show you something.

Come.

Be careful, it's slippery here.

Hey.

Where are you taking me?

Thanks.

My whole life here, and I had never seen this place.

It's always like that.

We need other people's eyes to see what's in front of us.

Hey. Is this a scratch?

Excuse me.

- Hello? - Where on earth are you?

Sorry, I didn't hear it ring. It was in my bag.

- You didn't know about Giulia's surgery? - Surgery?

- There were complications. - What complications?

Stefano!

I have to go to the hospital.

What happened?

She had a blepharoplasty.

Giulia.

- Why did you call her too? - We're all worried about you.

I don't want anyone's pity. I don't need it.

It's clear the procedure didn't go well and I'm going to be blind.

The morphine is making her ramble.

You don't believe me. No one does.

Giulia, surgery again?

Hello. Who are you?

A kind man who gave me a ride.

- Thank you. - The only mother who can't drive.

How could you let her have more surgery?

She pestered me. She said she needed it for work.

Or she wouldn't have gotten the sponsorship for who knows what.

You should have stopped her.

I come off as the bad guy, but you're the one who doesn't care.

- At least she talks to me. - Yeah.

We wouldn't have known. You don't even follow her online.

Why, do you follow her on social media? Are you 15, Mario?

This is for your trouble. You can go now.

No need.

Gabriella.

You're still here.

I waited for you. Are you going home?

Yes, I was just calling a taxi.

No, forget the taxi.

I'll take you.

Okay, thanks.

Was that your family in there?

Yeah.

The man you were arguing with was your husband?

Ex-husband.

- And father of my children. - A complicated family?

A bit.

Lucky I don't have one, then.

My car's over there.

Shall we go?

It's been a long day.

You've been kind.

It's been a pleasure.

Well, goodbye, then.

I have to go.

If the work isn't finished by April, we'll be in trouble.

- Because of the materials? - Exactly.

They'll magically appear, you know how things go.

Come in.

Ma'am, a young man downstairs gave me this for you.

He asked if you could go down.

Tell him I can't.

Actually, no.

Tell him I'm not here.

He's a friend of my son's. Here we are.

Villa Lemonia.

Wait, don't hang up.

I'm down here. I'll wait for you down the street.

I just came to say I don't want you to get the wrong idea.

The other day was my birthday. Do you know how old I am?

I don't know. 100, 20, 40?

Sixty.

It's weird even for me to say it.

- I could be your mother. - But you're not.

Rocco.

Rocco?

Rocco doesn't suit him. He should be called Trouble.

I agree. Rocco! Where are you going?

- Come on! - Rocco.

Rocco.

- Rocco. - Rocco.

Rocco, where are you?

Rocco!

Where are you?

Elia?

Elia?

Rocco?

Elia? Are you crazy? What are you doing?

Taking a swim.

What? Get out! They could come back any time.

Then stop me.

Don't!

- Damn it! - It's so warm.

Get out. Get out now.

No, no. Okay, I'll get out.

- Help me out. - Yes.

Come here. Come on.

Oh, God!

You're completely crazy.

Now what?

Take a breath.

No!

No. I don't want to put my head underwater.

- You don't want to ruin your hair? - No.

I just don't want my head to go under. Let's just leave.

Oh, God. I can't find the remote.

Hold on.

I'll ring.

Here. Out of the way.

It's me, open up.

- Mom. - No comment.

I'm sleeping at Eric's, remember?

Yes, I almost forgot.

Alzheimer's taking over.

What are you doing here?

Coffee?

I was just making it for us.

Who's "us"?

Me and your mother, I guess.

What are you talking about?

Want some?

Who the fuck are you? You can't come to my house.

And leave my mother alone.

Who are you thinking about?

About all the other men you brought here before me?

No.

No other man.

What are you doing?

- We're here to swim, aren't we? - No.

We're here to put my old skiff into the water.

- You really like being naked, don't you? - No, I just like the sea.

So?

It's freezing. No, no.

No.

I can't.

The seafloor is gorgeous here.

But it's cold.

- Come here. - No, stop. Don't touch me.

I don't want to put my head underwater, okay?

Don't deny yourself something amazing just because it scares you.

Fine.

Move.

- All right, I won't touch you. - Don't touch me.

Nico?

Are you all right?

What's wrong?

If it's about school, don't worry, we can...

It's not about school.

So, what is it?

Look, Mom. Do what you want with your life, I don't care.

But I have one request. Don't bring your men into the house.

I don't like finding people in their underwear.

But I don't...

It didn't seem important.

It wasn't important to tell me

that my son saw you in my home at dawn in your underwear?

You said he was out.

It's not about where he spent the night! It's that you decided not to tell me.

Should I think that you're irresponsible?

Gabriella, I'm sorry.

No, it's not your fault.

It's my fault.

I'm the one who let you into my house. I let you sleep over.

Okay, I made a mistake. I should have told you. Okay?

I let a stranger into my house.

What do I know about you?

Who are you? Where are you from? Where do you live?

I don't even know your last name.

My name is Elia Marini. Better now?

I was born at the Cardarelli hospital in Naples, on June 5th, 1988.

But I grew up in America.

That's not the point.

A few months ago, I had a girlfriend my age, but it's over.

So I came here to buy a boat and sail far away.

Instead, I met you.

And yes, you're older than me.

It's not you.

It's me.

And I can't.

Elia, at my age you have to be able to give some things up.

So that you don't hurt anyone.

Is it a bad time?

Hi, Mario.

I preferred to talk in person.

Nico told me that you are dating someone.

A young man.

Nico told you?

Anyway, it's none of your business.

Of course not. I'm only happy for you.

But I'd prefer you keep certain things away from our son.

You of all people are lecturing me?

You had a mistress for years. On top of that, she was my best friend.

You can't compare. They're totally different things.

Nico's almost an adult, but he's fragile, you know.

I know that very well. Because he lives with me.

And how do you expect him to feel finding a boy at home?

And you? Aren't you ashamed to be seen with someone not much older than him?

You need to go.

So?

What's the matter?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Remember this?

Your father's watch. Yes.

I remember it well.

I want you to have it.

No, Gabriella. No way.

Why?

I don't want such gifts.

I'm allowed to give what I want to whomever I want.

Give it to your children, instead.

Don't you start too!

When you're a woman,

there's always someone dictating what you have to do.

In my life, first it was my father.

Then my ex-husband.

Now my son's starting too.

Are you joining the list?

It's been gathering dust for 20 years.

Put it on.

Well, I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything.

No. Don't wind it up.

Let's stop time, even for a moment.

Let's stay like this.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm the one who has to go.

- No. - Yes.

I have a family lunch.

I can't let you go alone.

Slow. Move.

- Hello! - Hi, Ester. Hi.

- He's so cute! - Hi, Mom.

Hi, sweetie!

Look what I have here.

Giulia, you've got 100,000 followers.

- So many! - Yes.

- You want him? - Yes, please, Granny!

- Here. Hi. - Hi.

- Hi, Mom. - Hi, Stefano.

Hi honey, how's it going?

- Better? - I'm good. You?

- Hi, Gabriella. - Hi.

- Hi, Mario. - Hi.

Gorgeous eyes!

Thank you.

Good morning.

This is Elia.

Nice to meet you.

Some of you have already met him.

I thought it was the right time

to introduce him officially.

Officially?

- Is this a joke? - No.

- Shall we sit? - Yes. Let's sit.

You can bring the appetizers.

How did you two meet?

- She saved me when my car... - He gave me a ride.

Get your stories straight.

First she saved me, then I gave her a ride.

Elia, tell us, what fantastic job allows you to stay on the Amalfi Coast?

Let's say I'm going through a transitional phase at the moment.

Unemployed?

Stefano.

Well, we can't all be as perfect as you...

- Mr. Lawyer. - Ooh.

Where do you come from?

I was born in Italy, but I grew up in America.

- America, where? - Baltimore.

My parents moved there for work, but things didn't work out, so...

They came back, and I stayed.

Let's say I've traveled a lot.

Nice watch.

I know. Thank you.

Hi.

You knew who I was at the bar?

Of course not.

- Did you tell my mother we kissed? - Tell her yourself.

Nico, listen.

I get that this is strange to you and your brother,

but I assure you I'm not going to hurt her.

Good.

'Cause if you do, I'll kill you.

Do you trust him?

- What are you talking about? - Mom.

Please, don't be naïve.

I'm not naïve at all.

You gave him Grandpa's watch.

Yes. None of you wanted it.

- He asked you for it? - Is this an interrogation, Stefano?

It's my watch, and I decide whom I give it to.

You don't need to worry about me.

Everything's okay. There's no need.

Don't worry.

Bye.

Looks like I didn't pass the test.

Give them time. Mm?

I told you.

I'm not going anywhere.

See you tomorrow.

Okay.

I get it, he's really young.

But look on the bright side.

You worried about her being alone.

You think he's dating her for love?

You can't know that.

She's an adult. She knows what she's doing.

Maybe she's just getting some joy back. It's a good thing.

And if she has any problems...

we will step in.

Look.

This could be an opportunity to focus more on our family. Right?

Ester.

Not now.

Sorry, but I can't think of anything else.

I need to get some air.

POLICE

Stefano.

Something's happened. I need your help.

Not only could he be her son,

but out of nowhere he settles in the hotel.

- Calm down. - He does whatever he wants!

Breathe.

Calm down.

I'll do some research on the office computer.

If something's off, we'll find out.

Let's stop time, even for a moment.

Let's stay like this.

I'm not going anywhere.

Who's there?

Who's there?
