Ilaria has to call her parents to tell them she is pregnant. She has a story ready for them, but her friends find it far-fetched.

While they are placing the mirror in Berna's apartment, they see an interview on TV with someone they had known back in the day. Back home, they encourage Francesca to make a certain phone call, showing her how it could play out.

While delivering the mirror to their friend, Vincenzo wonders why the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans. They have a ways to go on foot and a while to wait at the door, so there is plenty of time for Andrea to explain.

Francesca is anxious about Vincenzo's phone call from Iceland. He comes back from the phone call happy, but not everyone is as happy as he is.

After exchanging memories of Michele, the friends take the road back to Pisa, singing a song with very appropriate lyrics; Morirò in un'incidente stradale (I'll die in a car accident). The group that originally recorded the song is I Gatti Mezzi whose songs are in Pisan dialect or vernacolo (vernacular). See the complete lyrics. Back home, there is a phone call for Vincenzo that seems important.

As the credits role in this final segment, we hear a song written and performed by Fabrizio De André (together with Massimo Bubola. Una storia sbagliata (a story all wrong) was commissioned for a 1980 TV show about Pasolini's death, called Dietro il processo (behind the trial). You can hear the entire song here, while here you'll find the complete lyrics in Italian.

At the spot where the accident had occurred, the friends wonder how it could have happened since Michele was such a good, careful driver.

Pier Paolo Pasolini discusses the effects Fascism had on Italy. He talks about the city of Sabaudia, built by the fascist government on the reclaimed marshland of the ancient Pontine Marshes (Agro Pontino) and how later, what took hold was the culture of consumerism.

Despite the late hour, Vincenzo suggests going to see their friend Michele before they all go off to different destinations.

Pasolini talks about the gates to the city of Orte. They may be simple, and built by unnamed men, but that doesn't mean they don't have value to protect. He moves on to talk about Sabaudia, a city built by the fascist regime, on reclaimed marshland, roughly halfway between Rome and Naples.

The group has to figure out the final accounts for the apartment, including some very expensive phone bills they wonder about. Later, they talk about the future and where they think they will end up.

Pasolini explains the difficulty of framing a city through the lens, only for it to be ruined by modern buildings that seem to have nothing to do with the form of the city itself. He wants anonymous, simple poetry to be preserved just like the works of Dante and Petrarca.

As they make pasta with whatever scraps of food are left in the fridge, the group discusses Ilaria's predicament, which turns out to be worse than they imagined.

Still on the beach, Pasolini asks more people their opinions on divorce, which became legal in 1970. The second part of this segment is part of a 1969 episode of Processo alla tappa, a TV talk show devoted to the Giro d'Italia (the Tour of Italy), a famous, 21-stage bike race.

The group goes grocery shopping for their party, but on the way back, Ilaria wants to make a stop. Nobody knows why, or what she plans to do and the situation gets out of hand.
