Mario is trying to teach Domenico how to play chess, but since it's a losing battle, he asks him what he thinks about his responsibility towards the Nest. Meanwhile, the workers come up against something strange while digging.

At the Nido, after discovering what was in the ground, it seems things are about to take a political turn. While they discuss what to do, the spies intercept a phone call from Michele.

Eleonora is dealing with her boss, who wants to fire her. At the Nido, Iolde panics because of a newspaper article that might be about her. She rushes immediately to Michele to tell him what had happened in the past.

Michele continues to reassure Iolde about the newspaper article that came out, but they are interrupted by Nicoletta, who brings a catalog to show Michele. At the office, Eleonora has a tense conversation with her boss.

Although Eleonora had asked JJ for time to ask the other members of the Nest if they could shoot a feature, he shows up to film the community. Michele arranges the final details to have the painting delivered.

Despite Eleonora's initial opposition, JJ begins filming life at the Nest to share with the public. He invents catastrophic scenarios and has very sad stories to tell.

JJ continues to walk around the Nido with the videocamera, looking for people to interview, but not everyone reacts the same way. Iolde feels the need to apologize to Eleonora, who instead reassures her, so she takes the opportunity to talk about Michele.

Riccardo tells Michele that he was contacted by the nobleman who says that his grandfather owned all the lands of the Nido. Meanwhile, after hours of delay and after worrying Michele, Lapo comes back, but in a surprising way.

Michele is carrying the painting that the Kazakh didn't want, when Iolde approaches him to tell him that she's ready. He tells her that he's not feeling up to it yet and goes to see Nicoletta.

“La linea sottile” [The subtle line] is a song from Ligabue’s album “Arrivederci, mostro” [Goodbye monster], one of the most popular albums from 2010.

Filmmaker Lina Wertmüller, in this interview, explains that when she was a young girl, one little incident at school had a great impact on the course of her life and career.

UNESCO counts the Aeolian Islands, off of Sicily's coast, among its World Heritage sites. The seven islands that make up the archipelago are: Vulcano, Stromboli, Alicudi, Filicudi, Panarea, Lipari and Salina.

The Aeolian Islands are a favorite destination for divers from all over the world because of the underwater grottoes and ancient shipwrecks.

Rossellini's 1949 movie Stromboli put the Aeolian island on the cultural map forever.

The "Sciara del Fuoco" is a stream of red-hot lava that travels from Stromboli's volcanic summit to the sea. Seeing it is an unforgettable experience.
