Pasolini doesn't want to talk about his enemies, but does talk about the people he loves the most: simple folk, who might not have even finished grade school. For his early films, he took inspiration from Antonio Gramsci.

It's Pisa. A group of university students living in an apartment together have made a home video of the place, which is a mess, partly due to clogged sinks. Their stay is almost at its end and they're taking stock.

Lombardi shows up for an informal meeting to talk about a building project. Meanwhile, Imma is driven to Grottole by Matarazzo who is going a bit too fast.

Pasolini is asked what he thinks about progress and development. He is also asked about the inspiration he seems to have taken from subjects of the New Testament of the Bible.

For once, Valentina comes home in a good mood. Imma tells Pietro about her ex-classmate's murder. Don Mariano has a conversation with Samuele, a kid who seems to be in contact with Valentina, but who evidently has had some problems with the law.

In this segment, we're on the set with Pasolini as he shouts directions to Totò through his megaphone, and at the same time discusses the shoot with his crew. Naturally, authenticity often means people speak over each other, so it's hard to understand what is said. Then, Pasolini is asked by a journalist about his views on neorealism and here, the speech is clearer (and interesting), so don't give up!

Imma goes to join Calogiuri in the area of Matera where homes and churches were built into the rock. There are i sassi (cave houses carved out of the rocks) and the lamioni, barrel-vaulted rooms leading to the cave houses. She is guided by Eustacchio, a kid she thinks should be in school. But he knows quite a bit about the history of the place.

Pasolini talks about how he moved from literature to cinema, and how his ideas about language changed. He talked about providing Italians with an opportunity to demonstrate racism, perhaps for the first time, with his movie, Accattone.

Valentina has begun studying again, and talks to Bea after class. There is a cloud over Imma's office, as she and Calogiuri talk about the case.

Chiara tells about how she realized she knew how to read, which then led her to begin writing. She wrote her first "novel" in second grade. Where she grew up, on the outskirts of Rome, influence her writing to a significant degree.

Pasolini talks about how artists are always controversial. They are a living protest. His protest involves language and national identity.

Pasolini talks about the Italian language and how it has been transformed over the years.

Federica demonstrates the final stages of making the Colomba. Once ready, she cuts it open to show us what it looks like on the inside, with its particular consistency.

Calogiuri has become a marshal. At Imma's house, the morning is going fairly normally, when a phone call from Diana comes. It can't be good.

Pasolini talks about his first book of poetry and what he realized about his country when it was published in 1942. He explains why reviewers wouldn't touch it.
