[man] Hey! Hey!

-Let go of me! I didn't do anything! -Hold still!

-Hey, let go of him, asshole! -You're crazy, stop it!

-See how they're treating him? -None of our business.

Now I'm gonna steal something.

Come on.

["Quanto Forte Ti Pensavo" continues quietly]

Go ask her for the restroom.

It's not gonna work.

You can be such a baby, Vanessa. Time to make some noise.

Excuse me, do you have a restroom?

Of course. Down that corridor and then turn right.

Okay, thanks.

-[alarm beeping] -[employee] Stop!

[hip hop music playing]

Run, run, run, run!

Faster!

[guard] I said stop!

Stop!

[chuckling]

[hip hop music continues]

[chuckling]

Oh my god!

[Vanessa] You're crazy!

[woman] I'll do yours and you do mine.

Instead of the tattoos you didn't want anyway.

-Okay. -[hip hop music stops]

Stop it!

[both chuckling]

[upbeat music playing]

[music swells]

Uh, here.

ADMITTED

God, you're such a bookworm!

But that asshole Montegni still gave me a C.

Christian's checking out your ass.

An eyeful is all that fucking player gets.

[woman 1] And here comes your cousin.

The beauty queen has arrived.

[woman 2] I bet she's excited for her party?

Well, I'm going to Milan.

I don't care.

NOT ADMITTED

No. Fuck that shit!

Elena.

You worked hard and you got your grade.

-Elena, wait up. -I don't wanna talk about it, okay?

Okay, but you said it yourself, better to fail than to study all summer.

Listen, Miss Perfect, drop it, will you? You wouldn't understand.

What exactly can't I understand?

Is it my fault you failed? I'm pissed that we won't be in the same class.

Yeah, right. You have the perfect excuse not to hang out with me anymore.

-Everything will be calm now. -What are you talking about?

You know exactly what I mean.

I know you're ashamed of me. Don't try to hide it.

Elena.

[Elena] Leave me alone.

[on voicemail] Enrico, I can't be at practice.

We're celebrating Teresa's graduation. I'm sorry, I heard Elena failed.

How come it has to be Christian that tells me you failed?

-You never change, I guess, huh? -Hey! Enrico, come on.

Listen, I'm still at training, and then I'll leave right after.

Call me later. Love you.

[metallic thud]

What the hell is he doing here?f

Giorgio pushes us hard. Give him a break, coach.

And Christian?

He's out celebrating. It's his girlfriend's graduation.

[coach] Do as you like then.

In the water, let's go!

Cheers.

-Welcome back. -Come here.

Thanks, guys.

-[laughter] -Get ready!

[melodic music playing]

[music becomes lively]

[man 1] The water's making you rusty, guys!

You guys ready?

Here we go!

Pull! Harder!

[man 1] Go, go, go, go, go!

[man 2] Ah!

[Enrico] Ah, fuck.

[lively, melodic music continues]

-I want to get out of here. -[music fades]

Same old story.

Another fight with Enrico?

Let's just leave, huh? Together.

Now.

I can't just leave Gianmarco right before my party, that's crazy.

I get it. So much for being my best friend.

I'm not gonna be at the party.

Let's get together later.

Tonight. Enrico's busy studying and Gianmarco has plans.

-We're free. We can celebrate at midnight. -[Elena] We're not fuckin' free.

Go ask Gianmarco and see what he says.

-[chuckling] -[dramatic music playing]

I'm sorry, Vanessa, I'm sorry. I'm having a bad day.

Listen, I'll call you after work?

[Vanessa] Okay.

And… don't worry I'll be at your party.

[camera click sound]

-[woman panting] -[ominous music playing]

[music fades]

-[Vanessa] I'm home. -Finally, you're back. How did it go?

Elena failed.

That's the first thing you say? What about you?

-How did your exams go, sweetheart? -Van?

-All B's and all C's. -Oh!

It's lucky you're here. All she told me was that Elena failed.

-Ah. -Van?

So, can we concentrate now on your birthday party?

UPLOADING…

Please?

Will you do it for me?

LOOK HOW HOT YOU ARE! I POSTED IT!

ARE WE GOOD?

ELENA YOU'RE SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS!

[Elena] Hey.

-Hey. How you feeling? -[Elena] Like shit.

Are you leaving?

[Enrico] Yeah, soon. If you don't wanna be alone, I can leave tomorrow.

No, don't worry. You need to rest before your exams.

-I'm really late for work. I gotta go. -[Enrico] Okay. Love you.

[rock music playing over speaker]

[man] Hello, I have a reservation for Cioffi.

-Cioffi? Great. -Cioffi, there.

-Table for four. -Okay. You take it.

Yes.

-Elena, we agreed no more. -But it's just gonna be thrown out.

He's always hanging around here, and it's because of you.

Basically, he's like a pigeon.

If you feed him once, he'll just come back for more.

-Put it back. -He's waiting for me.

I'll take care of it.

-Excuse me! -What a bitch.

[woman] Scram!

Get outta here! Get lost!

Hey, you!

Hey, Melissa. You okay?

-I brought you this. -Bring it to the party.

Sorry, I can't make it.

If your cousin goes and ignores me, it'll hurt too much.

Is that asshole at home?

No, he's training with the guys.

Come inside, and when he's back, you can catch him.

-No, it's okay. -[Vanessa] Your call.

Try and come to the party tomorrow, or I'll never speak to you again.

-[sighs] Bye. -Bye.

-See you tomorrow. -See ya.

[upbeat music playing]

[man] What did she want?

She gave me this 'cause she wasn't gonna come to the party.

But I convinced her.

She's coming?

-I changed her mind. -And why?

Because you owe her an explanation.

There is no explanation.

She's your girlfriend.

-Wanna get a smoke? -A quick one, I've gotta study.

[chuckling] Good luck with that. Your sister invited Diana over.

[chuckles and sighs]

Here, take this. It belongs to Giorgio.

Unless he's changed his hiding place, they should be here.

[pop music playing]

Ah, bingo.

He's such a hunk.

And you're obsessed.

Fuck, he's back.

Hey. Having a pajama party?

No. We're just stealing smokes from you.

And Mom?

Somewhere injecting clients.

[Giorgio] Move, I gotta study.

[Vera] What a jerk.

Let's go.

See ya.

[cell phone ringing]

[upbeat music playing over speaker]

[door opens]

-Hey, Elena. -[door closes]

[woman] I'm exhausted.

Is that for Ricotta? If Diletta finds out, you're finished.

-[Elena] See you tomorrow. -[woman] See ya.

G: CAN I?

I'M LEAVING. I'LL CALL YOU.

[moody electronic music playing]

Ricotta, if you do that again, I'll stop bringing you food.

-Your boyfriend's here. -Where?

[Ricotta] The car park.

Stop coming or I'm gonna get in trouble.

[car horn honks]

-[Elena] I thought you'd left. -I felt bad.

Are you okay?

-[kissing] -[Elena] Mmm.

Come on, I'll take you home.

Ah, fuck! I forgot to write up tonight's reservations for Diletta.

Sorry. Give me a minute. Today's been crazy.

[Elena breathing deeply]

What is it, baby?

Is it the exams?

[Elena] That too.

What do you mean?

-Do I have to tell you everything? -Whoa!

That's why I stayed.

I'll talk to your parents, okay?

When they get back from Gaeta.

I promise.

I'll talk to them.

And this?

Vanessa and I got one each.

Very pretty. How did she do?

All C's and all B's. Obviously.

You really look good in that photo.

I was on the bus dressed like shit.

You were beautiful.

[contemplative music playing]

Classy. [chuckles]

You're like that when you're with her.

Well, I was trying to go for an edgy look.

You know I love you?

Even when you treat me badly, I still love you.

-[chuckles] -Probably even more.

[contemplative music continues]

Hey, girl.

Well, I came by to see you with some beer and cupcakes

so we could spend the evening together, but I see Enrico's here, so forget it.

Anyway, if you're free later, call me. I'm really sorry that we argued earlier.

[cell phone bleeps]

[engine starts]

[shower running]

[Vanessa] I'm really sorry that we argued earlier.

I'm heading to Cassino with Enrico. He's really stressed about the exams.

-Sorry, bye. -[phone bleeps]

[Enrico] Babe, I'm gonna use your towel, okay?

It's a pity you're not coming to Cassino, but I've got so much studying to do.

You and Vanessa talk and talk, but you never act.

Get lost!

[music fades]

DID YOU MAKE IT TO CASSINO?

[Vera] Hey. Got a smoke?

That's all I'm good for to you, I guess?

I'll get you a pack tomorrow.

Wait, I'll get you two, it's your birthday.

Thanks.

I'm sorry, I wanted to go to your party

but I really have to go to Rome.

No one believes you're going to Rome.

Giorgio knows you're going to Milan to see your dad.

He's worried.

Does Giorgio tell you when he takes a dump too?

He talks because you're pissed all the time.

[mockingly] You're pissed off at him all the time.

You haven't wished me happy birthday yet. Are you being a bitch?

Princess Vanessa!

[upbeat music continues]

Happy Birthday, Princess Vanessa!

You chariot awaits, my princess!

[music stops]

So fucking corny.

Shh!

Geez, what's your problem with Vanessa?

They're so pathetic.

We call that love.

-That's love? -Yes!

The only reason Auntie loves Gianmarco is because of all the cash he has!

You talk like that again and I'll cut your tongue out.

Keep it up and I won't send you to Greta in Rome. Believe you me.

You promised you'd send me! I did well in my exams, so you have to send me!

-You swore! -[sighing]

[Giorgio] Hey, that's enough!

-You guys are always fighting. -Look who's talking.

Your sister is ungrateful.

Honestly, if it wasn't for your aunt,

-I don't know how we'd survive. -I'm tired of all this.

[fist bangs]

You see what I mean?

Mom, I keep telling you, I'll get a job

and I'll do the academy exams next year.

No, you'll do the exams this year.

And I'll decorate the house with pictures of you in uniform.

Come on, I'll make you coffee.

[upbeat music playing]

I wanted to point out that you never asked me if I wanted coffee!

-Thanks! -[door slams]

[woman] One of these days, I think I'm gonna report her to the cops.

[Giorgio] Geez, enough!

CHAT DAD

[woman] Here, bring this to your sister.

DAD, WILL YOU ANSWER ME?

WHAT ABOUT THE TICKETS?

-Coffee time! -Hey! What the fuck!

-There you go. -Knock!

-What are you doing on the phone? -None of your business.

If you see him, better tell Mom.

If she finds out, you're screwed. If, of course, you really go.

I really am. He's sending the tickets. Now, get out.

You'll get tickets the day pigs fly.

[upbeat music stops]

[Diletta] And where are you going?

I'm going to see Vera and return the dress.

Why? What's wrong with it?

It's too short, you can see everything.

I think it looks really good.

Whatever. I gotta go or else I'll be late for Vanessa's party.

I'm glad you two are friends.

Beauty is not contagious, Mom. Otherwise, I would've caught it from you.

But you are beautiful, sweetheart.

I need you here because Elena's running late.

Mom, I don't wait on tables.

She's not on that bus either.

I called and she didn't pick up. You have to do her shift, okay?

Baby, do it just for today, will you?

[kisses] Mm?

Vera?

Yeah. What's up?

[Diana] Is Elena with you guys?

No. My aunt hates her. I don't even think she was invited.

-I got this cake in Latina at Antonetti's. -It's absolutely delicious.

-It's excellent. Great taste, Manuela. -[Manuela] It's not every day.

-[woman] You hear what he said? -Van, any news from Elena?

No, why?

She's late for her shift, not answering her phone.

-[Gianmarco] Come on. Let's toast! -Come on, we're celebrating.

Give her a break.

-Hey, Diana. -[Diana] Any news from Elena?

We haven't spoken yet. Last night, she was in Cassino with Enrico.

-Maybe she forgot to tell your folks? -Not my problem, but my mom's furious.

I'll let her know.

By the way, will Melissa be there tonight?

I don't know.

Okay, thanks.

Oh, and happy birthday.

[Vanessa] Thanks.

[contemplative music playing]

Hey, what's goin' on?

Elena. Up to her usual tricks.

Well, that's no surprise.

Open your present, sweetie.

Hmm?

-[Vanessa] They're beautiful. Thank you. -[chuckling]

Why don't you try them on now?

I'll put them on later. First, I have to call Elena or she'll be fired for sure.

Okay, then. Go ahead and call Elena.

[cell phone ringing]

[doorbell buzzing]

Hey.

Sorry, I'm late. That bitch Elena never turned up for work.

-I'll return the dress, if you want. -Let's see what it looks like first.

It looks like fucking garbage, like everything else my mom gets me.

[Vera] You can hardly see it.

[Diana] It has to be completely covered up.

[pop music playing faintly]

Try these. They're Vanessa's hand-me-downs.

My aunt thinks they're too good for charity.

You want me to wear one of her dresses to her own party?

Don't worry, she won't even notice. Her room's full of this shit.

The party's gonna be such a drag without you.

When are you back?

In three days.

I'm packing my bikini and I'm heading for the beach.

Idrascola. It's near Milan. Dad says it's really cool.

So what do I do? I return it or not?

You're such a pain. Try these ones and then decide.

[buzzer buzzing]

[cell phone ringing]

Hey, Van. I was about to call you. Heard from Elena?

Isn't she with you?

No. The app says she's at home but she's not answering her phone.

I'm at her house right now but there doesn't seem to be anyone home.

There should be a stone in front of the main door,

and underneath you'll find the key to get inside.

And what about you? Are you far from here?

I'm on my way back from Cassino.

Check inside. Maybe she's sick or something, I don't know.

Okay, I'll do it. I'll call you right back.

Elena?

Elena!

El?

[moody guitar music playing]

El?

[on phone] Hi, Chiara. It's Stefania. Elena's mother.

We came by the station but you had already left.

Could you please drop by our place?

I'm sorry, it's just I'm a little worried.

[moody guitar music stops]

Melissa told me that Elena failed her exams.

Maybe that's the reason that she ran away.

Or maybe you argued?

We didn't even know. We were both away for our wedding anniversary.

Enrico told us.

There's no way she would leave for that. That's not Elena.

In fact, we were talking about our plans.

She'd do two years in one and I'd help her.

Then why do you think she left?

Because she's a goddamn pain in the ass.

You've been on her case since she was a child.

She's just a kid.

And she's cleaned up her act. She's a good kid.

When she goes out of the house, she would always take her phone with her.

Who was it that saw her last?

-[contemplative music playing] -Me.

I picked her up at the restaurant and brought her back here.

She left me a message saying

she wasn't feeling that well.

She went back to bed.

Vanessa?

I sent her a message around midnight, but she didn't answer.

She didn't even read it.

There's also the fact that she could have sent you that message from anywhere.

No, no, no. Because we have an application that we both use to track each other.

When I last checked,

she was at home.

An app you use to track each other?

[man] So she left her phone at home.

-Typical Elena. -Just shut up, Paolo.

It's true, she wasn't feeling well yesterday.

She was furious.

She asked me if I'd run away with her.

Why didn't you tell me?

She said she was going to spend the night with you.

Why wouldn't you tell me?

Listen, I think it would be best if we make an official report, okay?

If you have a recent photo,

I'll get things started.

[woman] Your call has been transferred to an automatic voicemail service.

Please, leave a message after the tone.

Here's your round-trip ticket to Milan.

Thank you.

-Dad! That's crazy! I just got my ticket. -[man] My baby girl!

-Actually, listen, sweetie. -I bought them myself.

Something's come up at work at the last minute.

I thought I could manage it but…

But I won't be available because of this thing.

You know? You get it?

Hello?

[contemplative music continues]

[contemplative music fades]

How's Enrico?

He's a mess.

He asked me if Elena was over him, if she was seeing someone.

She would've told me, no?

What if she's done something crazy?

She already has. Look at the mess she's made.

I'm sure she'll turn up at the party tonight.

And don't worry, I'll be at your party.

She promised.

Why are you letting her ruin your birthday party?

This isn't your fault.

She's just being selfish.

You're right, she's being a bitch.

My gift to you.

Two tickets to Mykonos.

We'll fix the date later, okay?

Thank you.

Hey, man.

HI, I'M JACOPO. YOU'RE REALLY GORGEOUS AND…

My aunt, she told me that you'd reported Elena missing.

We had to do it.

She can do what she wants, but she's still a minor.
