Good morning.

You can stay if you want.

I’d love to
but I have a busy day.

Like crazy day.

Crazy how?

Super crazy.

I’m going to meet with a writer,
then my trainer, and my yogi...

Uh huh.



Are you even listening?

I gotta go but
good luck with your things.

Good luck with your things too.

[door closes]

Marcello.

Mah-chello. I like that!

We want to do a reality show
about a family to aspire to.

You’re father
is an international star.

Your father would be the draw,
but he’s not the story. You are.

We believe you are
going to be great someday

and we want to be along
for the ride.

We’d do a ten episode order,

have a micro crew follow you
and your family around.

So what do you say?

Can you talk to your father
about this?

Thank you.
Thank you!

[kiss]

Oh!

[laughter]

Maybe you could beef it
up a little bit?

Muscles make the man.

Don’t forget your water.
Thanks.

Ciao Bella.

Arrivederci.

See you soon.
Take care!

[banging]

Whoa, whoa, whoa..

What?

You ok?
That was stupid.

It was.
[laughter]

Have you ever surfed?

No.

No? It looks fun.

You have to train
your hands, man.

You have to build
the strength.

Like anything, it takes time.

So you’re like a...

Yeah, I’m like black belt.
All that shit you know?

Yeah. Don’t fuck with me, man.

Dangerous...

Would you teach me?

No.

No.

No.

It’s a shitty day anyway.

It doesn’t really
make a difference.

Is that a yes?

Yes.

So,

7am?

Tomorrow? Same place?

Ok.

Thanks.

[counting]

Two! [grunts]

[laughter]

Yo, man, stop. Hey.

Ho!
[laughter]

Come on, come on!

[crack]

Really?

Nah, stop it.

Excuse me, miss?

Hi!

Hi. Can I bother you for
some ice for this guy?

Oh! Yeah of course.

She’s cute.

Here you go.

Thank you!
Are you ok?

Um, I’ll be fine.

He’s strong.

Maybe a napkin or something...

Yeah!

Just put it on the top.

Top. Top of your nose
to stop the bleeding.

Thank you.

Be generous with the ice.

Ah, shit!

Sorry - sorry about that.

It’s ok.

I got it.

No worries, no worries.

I’m so sorry.

It’s ok. No worries.
We‘ll get it.

I'll get it...

Is everything ok?
Oh!

Yes, actually it’s our fault.

Because he was hurt and
we came in for some ice, but...

She was really kind.
But now... It’s on the floor.

That’s fine.
Christine?

why don’t you take care of
your table over there?

Gentleman, how ‘bout we
take this outside?

That way our floor can
stay dry...

Sure.
Thanks.

Thanks! Bye.
Ciao!

Bye.

[excited giggle]

After trashing a place

most people would have the
sense to not stick around.

So what happened to you?

Did you guys bump heads
while kissing?

Yes, I kissed him
with my fist.

Nice.

Ick. It’s gone warm.

Oh, we used to have some ice.

[laughter]

Where are you from?

Me? Guess!

Italy!

Oh come on
that was too easy!

I know,
that was a stupid question.

I already knew
the answer to that.

So, are you out here
because we got you fired?

Oh, I wish. No.
I gotta be somewhere.

Don’t let us hold you.

It’s a boyfriend?

Maybe...

Maybe not.

Alright, either of you
have a car?

Yeah.
Yeah, I do actually.

Awesome.

I’m Nassim by the way.
Christine.

And I am Marcello.

Nice to meet you.

Shall we?

Ok...

Take us to the top!

Ok...
I am a little nervous now.

You just realized that
all of your organs

are going to be on the
black market within a few hours?

I can part with a kidney...

For a good cause.

Actually, we need hearts.

I have a heart condition.
Wouldn’t do you any good.

My clients wouldn’t know that
until after they pay me.

I’m even more intrigued.

Very clever. I love this.

Ok, now I get it.

A gallery hires
a pretty girl like you

to lure guys like us inside.

Mhm. That’s exactly
whats going on.

I should warn you.
I can’t afford anything.

Guys this is
amazing.

Once I went to an exhibition.

It was full of shopping carts
filled with junk.

I can’t believe anyone
ever thought that was art.

A lot of people
would consider that art.

Convince me.
How could it be?

[laughs]

Art is not about convincing.

Exactly!

Then defend it.

Uh no... Art doesn’t need
to be defended either.

Art is not a fact.

Yeah, it’s an experience.

Yes!

Follow me.

Follow her.

Beautiful.

I’m experiencing white.

Alright.

Move.

Okay.

The first time writing
on a wall since school.

So?

Do you feel any better?

No. Yeah!

[light switch]

[poignant music crescendos] ♪♪

You’re the artist.

Mmm hmmm.

Figo!
Isn’t that Italian for pussy?

No, no.
It actually means cool.

That’s Italian for pussy.

Oh yeah, now you know
talian better than me?

No, I just know
the cool words.

Like what?

Like...

Only the best!
I’m impressed.

Come on.
Come on!

[laughter]

Cool!

So why fears?

Everyone wants
to get away from theirs.

I invented a way to do it.

I loved it.

So what’s on your mind?

Think about a boxing match.

Imagine, in one corner,
your dreams

and in the other corner,
LA.

The bell rings.

The match begins.

Who do you think
is going to win?

Hmmm...

You’re an actor.

The world’s a stage
and we are all actors.

[french jazz music] ♪♪
[clink]

Everyone knows that
Italians are the best lovers.

Bullshit.

French is much better.
French is sensual.

(mocking)
Oh yes...

French is delicate.

(in French) It's like
a good wine. Sensual.

I mean, I have to be honest.
French is a sexy language.

Yeah.
Ok.

We Italians are pure passion.

(mocking)
Oh, pure passion?

Pure Passion.
You should try it.

Italians - they just
know how to fall.

Like when they play soccer.
They fall when barely touched.

Good acting. That’s what
Italians are good for.

Yes, we are
great actors actually

and much better
at soccer.

You’re kidding!
We’re the champions!

Yeah, but you remember 2006?

2006?
We beat you.

We gotta go back that far?
Yeah...

Let’s call it even.

Okay, Italy?

Okay.

Yeah.

[grand music] ♪♪
[happy yelping]

You first.
No no no, you first.

[yelling]

Come on! It’s not cold!

Take off your clothes.

I bet you guys both
don’t have the balls to go in.

Yes, I have the balls.
I have the balls!

Come on, show me.
Alright, ready?

Ready?

Yeah.

The master.

Alright?
The master!

Show me what you got.
Ok.

Ok.
Show me what you got!

Show me!!!

[playful howling]

Where is she?

[screaming]

[laughter]

Wait...

Old school!

Yeah.

Okay, I like your style.

It was my Grandfather’s.

Anytime I want to
share something with him

I just take a picture.

When did he pass away?

A week ago.

I’m sorry.

I’m glad this is a moment
you want to share with him.

I just want to let him know
I’m okay.

He was the only
real family I had.

He was born in Italy.
He taught me Italian.

I see.

They're having a small reception
in his memory tomorrow

at this old folks home
in West Hollywood.

'Winter’s Garden'
Can you believe that name?

Come on, old school,
take a picture of us.

So you can show him
that you're safe.

Look at this.

Could you be safer than this?

With two warriors
fighting for you?

[poignant piano music plays]

You forgot this.

[quiet laughing]

Did you guys plan this?

[laughs]
No.

Good to see you.

[camera click]

[camera click]

[camera click]

What’s this?

What do you think it is?

Is this for us?

Hey.

Hey Julie, it’s Nassim.

You’ve already
forgotten me, huh?

Your trainer!

No, I'm not calling from Iran.
I'm actually in LA.

Hey Mike! It’s Nassim.

Listen, I just wanted to see if
you wanted to train this week.

No, no I understand.

Don’t worry about it.

It’s good to change
sometimes.

Pizza time!
Pizzzza!

[camera click]

Are you sending it
to your girlfriend?

I don’t have a girlfriend.

I don’t believe you.

I don’t believe you either.

I was sending it to
my followers, ok?

How many followers
do you have?

500,000 something

What the fuck!
I barely have two hundred.

I’m sorry man.

Why?

Who are you?

Are you like...

(mocking)
Who the fuck are you?

No! I mean it.

Are you somebody big
in Italy?

I am the son
of someone that is...

kind of
really big in Italy.

Ewwwww...

My father is a
soap opera superstar.

Oh, wow.

Hey Christine!
Yeah, yeah sorry!

She’s smoking it all!
[laughter]

I used to have
a friend like that.

Yeah?

We called him 'two third'

Two third?

He would smoke two third of the
joint and give you one third.

[laughter]

Have you ever thought about
being an actor?

You got the looks.

Thanks. But...

I’m not sure it’s my thing.

What is your thing?

I don’t know.

That’s okay.
But you are here.

You’re creating experiences.
You know?

And this is
a great experience.

Yeah.

I think we lost him.

He passed out.
[giggling]

Shhhhhh.

He’s totally asleep.

Yeah.

No.

Not yet.

Goodnight.

Hey... Hey?

What did I just miss?

Nothing, man.
All good.

Ah! I got the shirt of a
famous soap opera man.

[laughs]
Shut up.

[choral music plays] ♪♪

Hey! Christine!
Ale!

So good to see you.

Hi!

[choral music continues] ♪♪

It’s beautiful.

Can’t believe that two hours ago
we were in Los Angeles.

In a different dimension.

Look at that.

A different plane of
consciousness I would say.

You know my dad used to tell me
when I was a kid.

The sun told the sky,
'you don’t owe me anything'

and that's how it allows for all
the stars to shine in the sky.

Or something like that,
I can’t remember.

That sounds beautiful.

I didn’t understand
anything you say.

[laughter]

Something about the sky...
That was amazing!

[laughter]

So let’s play a game.

And the game is

that you can ask a question

and the other two need to answer
it very, very, very honestly.

Who is...

Who is?

The last girl you fucked?

Why are you all
looking at me?

Well I mean
it’s obvious that uh -

You are more...

You’re like the player.

I am the player?

Yeah.

You have more to say
in that matter.

So?
What? I ... I...

I can’t remember, come on.

Is the name that important?

No... but just describe her-

I had a few in the last few days
before knowing you.

The last one!

I cannot remember!
She was brunette.

Come on Nassim. Come on man.
Help me here.

What about you?
Huh, Nassim?

I don’t know...

It was a prostitute...
six months ago.

That’s it.

[sensual chill-hop music] ♪♪

[rhythmic music] ♪♪

You guys okay?

Yeah.

I think I want to
keep these guys around.

That’s a good idea.

Because of the union
of your crazy natures

that from now on will become
one and only whole

made of love and happiness.

May you be together
for the rest of your life,

enjoying the future
and whatever will come with it.

Okay guys, kiss each other
and be happy.

Good morning.

How would you
like to live?

I would like to be
more wild.

Like, wild in what way?

Jungle.
Being naked all the time.

Climbing trees.

There is a lot of nature
in California.

A lot of trees to climb.

I think I never
climbed a tree in my life.

What?

No it’s my mom.
She always wanted to control me.

You're going to hurt yourself.

You're going to jump,
it’s too high...

That’s because she loves you.

Mmm... yeah...

Right?
Uh huh.

Ta da!

Nassim, me, and you
climbing a tree.

Nice.

I loved it.

Why are you giving it up?

order a drink tonight?

Huh?

Good morning.

Good morning,

Yeah, it’s me.

Hi, Christine said a lot of
great things about you.

You know wine, foods,
Italian...

Italian is
my favorite language.

Well, Christine’s recommendation
will get you a job here.

Just need you to fill these out
and you can start today.

Oh wow, thanks.

Have a seat there.

Ah, we can skip that for now.

I can try you a couple of days
until I need that.

Just the I-9.

Ah, I don’t have any of this.

I really can’t hire
any illegals, sorry.

Oh.

Marshello, how are you?

Really good. How about you?

Oh, I’m lovely.
Thank you for asking.

Of course.

How’s LA treating you?

I’m having the best time.

Oh, good.

So, did you discuss our proposal
with your father?

Yes.

And?

He’s not interested.

Good morning everyone.

Hello.

How are you?

What's up, girl?

Hi everyone.

Thank you. Hi.

Alright, so...

I brought you a surprise today.

Nassim is an actor from LA

and today he agreed
to teach us an acting class.

Ok, hi everyone.

[Hi]

I'm very excited.

Alright, so what we are going
to do is we’re going to stretch,

Because we want to be relaxed
when we act.

So, we are gonna go up, up, up
with our hands.

and then we go small,
small, small... very small.

Aaaaaaaaaa...

[lip fluttering sound]

Imagine I have this
ball of energy. Ok?

And what I am going to do
with this ball of energy...

is I’m going to pass it
to someone else.

There you go.

And then just let it change
and grow

and take any shape
and pass it to someone else.

[Gasps] Ohhhhh!

And it’s gone.

[laughter and applause]

So... How was that?

It was great.

I want you to close your eyes
now. Everybody close their eyes.

And I want you to imagine home.

What it feels like to be home.

What are the colors?

What does it smell like?

Maybe there is some noise,
there’s some sound.

Is it warm? Is it cold?

Who is around you?

Is it your family?
Friends?

Just let yourself sit there

and explore for a second.

It was natural.

I felt light. I felt free.
I felt so happy, you know?

That’s great!

I don’t think I can
go back to Los Angeles.

I know you guys probably
want to go back, but,

I’m going to leave for Iran
and help refugees there.

I want to do something new,
to make a difference back home.

I need to do something
with my life.

I want to give back.

What?

Are you serious?

Fuck.

Wait for me
you crazy asshole.

[Nassim laughs]

Do you really have to go?

I have to leave.

You should stay.

She's going to do your cards.
Oh ok.

Uh, you can’t stand still.

It’s a joke...

What was this card?

That card indicates, lies?

Lies.

It’s negative.
I’m not the father.

Oh, that’s great!

You'd have made
a great father.

For sure it’s not
the right time.
