and you'll make the best pasta

of your life!

Yeah, but not for the fascists!

Anything else, Signor Baldi?

- A Grappa.

We'll make this scene

with a tracking shot.

It's not gonna work.

We only have four tracks.

Why aren't there any tracks?

You didn't say anything about

a tracking shot... - I say!

You're not able to think yourself?

Apparently not!

Not to mention this stupid

incompetent director of production!

Damn idiots!

It shouldn't be too hard

to find a few metres of tracks!

I can't squeeze blood out of a stone!

I say!

I'm also missing tracks sometimes!

Get out of my sight!

Bittersweet, just as life!

Much better!

Thank you, Signor Baldi.

Thank you!

I'm eating!

Can I come with you?

- You'll come anyway!

I want to make movies, just as you do!

That's not important.

What?

It doesn't matter if you're

making movies or something else.

What's important then?

To live with fire and passion!

Fire and passion?

How to do that?

Man, you're asking silly questions!

You have to tell me

how to do it!

For example,

if you walk through the streets

you'll have to watch everything

as if everything is special.

As if this is the first time!

But I know Mhlheimer street

very well!

Really?

Well then.

What's on the left side of the street?

- A house!

Yes, a house.

But what does it look like.

Grey.

- Are you sure?

No, it's brown.

Now what? Brown or grey?

Grey and brown.

It's green! Es ist grn!

- Of course, it's green!

It's grey!

That's what I said!

Are all windows the same?

I don't know.

Look, that one is totally different.

Someone living there who likes plants.

They've stretched threads

for the ivy.

That's fire and passion?

- No.

That's botany!

What's that?

Look!

Try this!

Listen carefully:

You found a barrette for the hair?

Be honest. Someone saw you there!

What have you done this time?

You want to ruin me?

I don't want to you see again in

company of those guys, understand?

But daddy,

I want to make movies too!

Here's your film!

You're supposed to go to school!

I don't want to see you again

around those guys! Understand?

Baldi is looking for you!

He wants to say goodbye!

Where's Giancarlo?

- Outside.

Immediately!

And turn off that music!

Gives me headaches!

Giancarlo, you think the guests

are waiting for you? - Yes, coming.

And keep your hands off the girls.

Come here!

I have to talk to you.

Let's have a glass of

good Montepulciano!

You heard the news, guys?

In market street there's

a another pizzeria now.

Now we're four.

But we are the best,

and that's not going to change!

And now, Gigi,

you have to make a decision: You're

going to college of hotel management?

My son, you have "Mittlere Reife"

(= secondary school level)

Different from your brother who

didn't learn anything at school

You got good grades,

you got talent.

It will take only three years.

After that, you and your brother are

going to open a restaurant somewhere.

In Mlheim or Essen.

If things work out well,

we'll be number one in the whole

Ruhrgebiet (= a region in Germany).

Noone can say then

that Romano Amato

didn't make it.

I have hired a waiter,

so you can go.

What a bummer!

Don't I pay you a well?

F***ing sh*t!

That ain't true!

This is our restaurant.

We are one family!

Und that's why you do

as I tell you!

Or do you want to to make

crappy pictures your whole life?

"Alles verkehrt rum"

(Everything flipped)

What's the matter?

Fire and passion!

What can you buy

if you got fire and passion?

Rosa, what are you doing?

Stop it! It will break!

You don't care about your family!

- But it's for your brother's son!

We have to send him something!

You only bought the silverware

so that everyone says:

"Oh, Romano Amato! You see

how much he can afford!"

You are nuts!

You can't afford anything!

Wait!

Have you gone insane?

The whole restaurant is

crowded with people!

Wait! Just a moment!

I need your support!

I will pay the bills!

Get out of here! Get out!

You f***ing buggers!

Two f***ing buggers they are!

That's my Montepulciano,

you understand?

They've stolen my wine!

You're gonna pay for it!

All bottles! You understand?

What's going on in here?

They don't have any respect anymore!

I work hard the whole day

for the restaurant.

And they play on it!

Don't you understand?

They are not feeling good.

As if!

From now on,

the tune will change.

I don't want to see those pictures

anymore! "Alles verkehrt rum"!

You're going to the college

of hotel management! Period!

No people smoking weed in here

anymore

and drinking my wine!

To those who disagree:

There's the door!

I have always thought that

Luigi and Giancarlo

would go back to Solino,

build a house

where we can all live in

together.

But we are doing well, don't we?

I'm cold.

Come here!

Don't talk crap!

They are the same size.

Sure...

Beat it, you pansy!

Why don't you come back?

At least work

at the restaurant again.

You need work.

I got work!

- Where you work at?

At...

Gigi, at least you!

I can't do it anymore.

I'm getting more tired each day.

I need someone supporting me.

Think about it.

Come back at least.

Do it for your mother.

Please!

I don't need to talk about anything.

What do you need the money for?

The pizzeria is full of pictures!

Who needs films?

Education is what you need!

But you didn't want it.

You could have make it far.

Don't bother me now.

Pick it up.

Pick it up!

I said...

- I pick it up!

They have to be cleaned anyway.

F***ing fire and passion!

F***!

Be quiet!

Come on!

F*** you!

Come one now!

Leave him alone!

Next time it's more

than one night!

Next time they

won't let you go anymore!

That's where you belong!

What's that supposed to be? Was wird das?

- Antipasti.

But that's not on the menu card.

So what?

The menu card is not good enough

for the blonde one?

These are regular guests.

We have to pamper them.

That's part of the job.

For who am I doing this?

For our family,

and for you.

For me?

When will there be someone

supporting me in the kitchen?

I'm tired, I can't do it anymore!

But you always managed to do it.

The restaurant didn't expand.

Same number of tables still.

So?

Wait a sec...

Leukaemia?

Did he say leukaemia?

What's he saying?

How much time I've left?

They can't tell.

I want to go home.

To daddy?

Home!

When will you come?

Soon.

It's okay for me

if you're going to stay

in grandpa's house.

So you're going back?

No,

daddy stays in Germany.

He has to manage

the restaurant.

So you're going to stay with

your mother?

Actually, I want to go back

as soon as possible.

Why didn't you send any snow?

What?

You promised.

Don't you remember me?

Yes, I do. You're Ada.

We were friends,

and you promised.

I forgot.

You forgot to speak Italian

as well?

The pharisse and the scholars

grumbled and said:

The sinner is taking care of them

and will eat with them.

But he told them about the parable
