Little by little, as they walk and talk, Dafne and her father make discoveries about each other, even deeply personal ones.

Dafne doesn't mince words in criticizing her father, but she is there for him, a sort of anchor. It gets late and they need food and lodging.

Dafne and her father have dinner at the lodge and make conversation. But then they hear some talking in the other room and wonder what's up.

Dafne's father finally has someone to talk to, and describes his feelings when Dafne was born, and how they evolved.

Dafne and her father leave the lodge and resume their hike on an uphill trail.

While they are hiking, Dafne's father gets a curious phone call. It brings up the subject of smoking, which Dafne does not want to let go. Later, they meet up with some forest rangers, and Dafne asks for some first-aid items for her foot.

Dafne has no trouble chatting up a storm and making friends with the two forest rangers. She and her father get dropped off near the cemetery.

Dafne and her father get to the old family homestead. Dafne goes about opening it up as they talk about her mother and how she loved the place.

Dafne has a unique gift for her father.

Caravaggio is a TV mini-series based on the life of the Italian painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. It opens in 1577 when the painter was 5 years old. The plague had just hit and people who were still alive were burning their household possessions.

Some years have passed, and Michele's widowed mother has had some difficult decisions to make regarding her children. One of these is to send 12-year-old Michele to Milan to be an apprentice at the workshop of the well-known artist, Simone Peterzano. Michele has no desire to leave home and family.

Michele has a rough time of it in Master Simone's workshop. It's clear, however, that he has talent. A Knight of Malta comes into the workshop to have a look.

Michele manages to find a home for his painting, and receives something in exchange. Still at Maestro Simone's workshop, he grows up into a man and ends up trying to defend a young apprentice from being abused as he had been.

Michele goes back home after his mother dies and there, he spends some time with his childhood friend, Costanza Colonna. He tells her about his plans to go to Rome, the artistic center of the universe.

Once in Rome, Caravaggio looks for work in the studios of 2 Italian painters who were well-known at the time. Nobody seems very interested in his work.
