The friends are taking care of the paraphenalia from their days at the theater. They muse on the past and the future.

Cioni and Vincenzo are having a rather inebriated conversation in the little swimming pool on the roof. In the house, the friends are proposing some strange ideas of using up some old hallucinogens that have sat there unused.

Andrea has a surprise for his housemates. Later, they party with a bunch of friends.

Marta and Andrea find themselves alone in his room, now empty, and they remember the time when they had been together. He tells her of his plans.

Andrea continues to be mistrustful of what Marta is intimating to him. She mentions a house she is borrowing ai Ronchi (in the Ronchis). This prompted us to want to find out where this place is and why she says it in the plural. Here (link to lesson) is what we found out.

Cioni is very suspicious about Marta's true intentions toward Andrea. The others begin talking about their past relations and aspirations.

At the party, tension is high among the friends. Harsh words are exchanged.

The party is over and it is time to clean up and pack up. Cioni seeks out Ilaria to talk about her situation.

The friends are getting ready to leave, but it's still summer and someone gets the bright idea of going to the beach in a friend's boat.

The friends are on the boat but they run out of gas. Who had the jerry can? Arguing ensues, but they are at sea...

Francesca and her travelling companion have just gotten a flat tire. Learn the steps for changing a tire along with Francesca.

This documentary is about 2 brothers — the Taviani brothers — who are famous for having made many award-winning Italian movies. The short clips from their films will surely entice us to see the complete movies in the original Italian. Perhaps the most famous one is La Notte di San Lorenzo from 1982, whose English language release had the title: The Night of the Shooting Stars.

The Taviani brothers lived through the war, so they had a good feel for the terror people felt. But as kids they were also very much affected by the movies offered at the time.

The Taviani brothers talk about how, as young movie lovers, they would grab their bikes and go to whatever movie theater in the area was showing their favorite films. Then they had to go to the big city, Rome, to pitch their first documentary. They learned a valuable lesson.

San Miniato is where the Taviani brothers were born, but it was also the birthplace of their careers in filmmaking. Their first was a documentary and right away they had some problems with censorship.
