The Solitude of Prime Numbers (La solitudine dei numeri primi)

Michela...

Calm down.

Sorry.

THE SOLITUDE OF PRIME NUMBERS -

How many axes of symmetry make up a square?

Two!

- No, four. - Correct Mattia. Four.

One, two, three, and four.

Now let's draw a hexagon,

a hexagon is a six-sided polygon.

Let's draw the axes of symmetry.

So does a circle have infinite axes of symmetry?

Yes.

Michela, stop it.

Breaktime!

Calm down!

- Will you stay with her? - Yes.

Get up.

Come on!

My birthday is on Saturday,

it'll be a costume party, my mom said you can come too,

and so can she.

Let's go.

I don't care if you're not rich enough.

It's an impossible love, your father will never allow...

Let go please, I didn't do anything!

That's my father!

- Let go! - He's just a child. He didn't do it on purpose.

Forgive him,

if he did it, it was only out of hunger. He hasn't eaten in days.

Do you know him?

Yes, he's an orphan. Believe me, he's never done this before.

Let him go. Punish me instead if you want.

- Fine, he can go. - Thank you very much.

Let this be a lesson, never steal again.

Go home now.

- My countess! - Hi, dad.

Breakfast is ready. Come on, get up.

Alice's breakfast... here it is!

The reception needs to be perfect.

Thank you.

The champion's breakfast, look at this!

Here it is!

Not a crumb for mom, she sits around like an ornament.

Honey? Are you awake?

Still in bed? Rise and shine!

With this marriage, have the kingdom at our feet.

Here she is!

- Hi! - The prettiest of all!

- Beautiful! - You're so big Alice!

- She's grown so much. - So beautiful!

You have lovely eyes.

My champion!

- You must be starved. - We were watching you.

You flew like a Peregrine Falcon.

- You clobbered them all? - Yes!

That's right, good girl! Sit down.

My doll of steel!

Let's get you some food, some real sustenance.

I ordered cornmeal with venison for you.

Know what we'll do after eating?

The Kandahar and Motta slopes.

- She's too young for Motta. - Please, folks!

We have to push her, or she'll remain a novice.

Okay?

She must be first amongst the best or nothing.

- What if someone see us? - Nobody's here.

You're crazy!

- What if someone see us? - Nobody's here.

Like it, Viola? You like when I'm rough.

You're hurting me.

Giacomo, stop it!

- What's the fucking problem? - You're hurting me.

- Piss off, bitch! - Wait, Giacomo!

Here's the school.

Hope we've made the right choice.

Meaning?

Changing schools.

Go on, go.

- Bye dad. - Bye, be good.

Run, it's pouring rain.

And bring home the umbrella, Mattia.

Hi.

You have such nice hair.

Don't tell anybody what you heard, Alice!

Gimpy.

You must be Balossino.

Kids, this is your new classmate.

- Hi. - Welcome.

Tell us about yourself.

Okay.

My name is Mattia.

Balossino.

All right, you can sit here.

Thus, determine the initial values of V zero and T,

V zero is the velocity of the two point-like bodies...

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Dennis.

Welcome.

Mattia, you're only 24 years old...

Only 24? Only?

24 years old, he's a man!

Why should he stay in Italy?

It's no place for people like him.

Germany has a strong tradition of research.

- You don't know German. - He'll learn.

Young people can learn languages.

We're influencing him too much, let him speak.

Pietro,

parents are responsible for guiding their kids in life.

Mattia should go to Germany,

make a great career for himself, and be happy.

He can come back to Italy any time.

Maybe he could do a trial period.

Ask if you can stay forjust a few months...

- Then decide if you like it. - A trial period?

It's a competitive field, someone else will steal his position.

They'll think he's fussy.

- So? - He must go to Germany.

MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT -

These aren't the ones.

Where the hell are they?

All this stuff is still sitting here.

What?

- The Bai wedding? - Can I...

- Do it alone? - Yes.

What if you mess up all the photos?

- I don't want to go, but it's important. - I'll go.

We can't mess it up like we did with the countess,

we have no good photos.

The negatives were poorly lit.

- So? - I'll take good shots.

Will you? Can you?

- Do it, I have no desire to go. - Really?

- Bye. - Thanks.

- Be good. - What about the car?

- Use your own damn car. - Can you lend me yours?

- Take a taxi. - I can't, it's really far away.

Take a taxi.

Fine, take my car.

Bring it back undamaged.

- Bye. - Thanks. - Bye.

- Hello? - Good morning, it's Alice.

- Hello, how are you? - Fine, thanks.

- And you? - Fine. Sure you're fine?

Yes, I'm fine. Is Mattia there?

I'll go get him, hold on.

Mattia!

- Yes? - Alice's on the phone for you.

Mattia, the phone!

Hello?

- Hi, it's me. - Hi.

- Were you studying? - Yes.

As usual, you're going to turn blind and hunchbacked.

- Why are you whispering? - I'm not.

- Yes, you are. - No.

Where are you?

At work.

I have a proposal for you.

- What? - Come to a wedding tonight with me.

- I can't. - Yes, you can.

- No. - Yes.

- No. - Yes. - No!

Do you have a suit?

- Guess whose wedding it is? - Yours.

No, you would know then,

because you'd be the groom.

Just kidding.

- It's the wedding of... - Of?

Viola Bai.

Come help me, I have to photograph it.

I'll pick you up at 5:00, look swanky.

- I have to tell you something. - Good or bad?

Is it something good or bad?

Tell me later. You can't change your mind! Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

Viola Bai.

- Pretty! - T-shirt!

What was the water like?

Did you put any conditioner in your hair?

- Who needs a brush? - I do.

Hi Gimpy!

Where are you going? You're all on your own?

What were you doing, hiding?

You didn't shower, Gimpy?

You want to be dirty and stinky all day?

- Not getting changed? - Get undressed.

I said get undressed!

Now!

At last!

Make it quick!

Look at herjacket!

What a smell!

- What a stink! - Haven't you ever heard of deodorant?

Take off your pants. Show us what's underneath.

Come on!

What's that?

That scar must've hurt!

Want some candy?

- Wait! - You wish!
