Here and there in the small villages of the valley, there are interesting frescos hearalding back to earlier times. Two local recipes are offered: stuffed curly cabbage leaves and Taragna polenta, a kind of cornmeal with the addition of buckwheat.

In the Brembana Valley, the river reigns supreme. In fact, there is still a functioning water mill for grinding corn, as well as people passionate about maintaining centuries-old traditions.

We meet some very charming donkeys and hear about how Francantonio and his sons developed a passion for them.

The ancient via Priula leads us to the mountains where we visit a herbal laboratory, in which flowers and plants are transformed into beauty products using historical recipes.

We move on to Valtorta a spot where cheese is king. Here, they produce a special little cylindrical cheese called an agrì, exclusive to this spot. In fact, Slow Food, an organization that's become international but which began in Italy, has it as one of its special products.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
