My Brother, My Sister (Mio fratello, mia sorella)

NETFLIX PRESENTS

Thank you. Thanks for coming.

- Thank you. Hi. -

Giada.

You have no idea how sorry I am.

I know. I know.

Will he be playing? Did you say something to convince him?

No. I didn't. I think he convinced himself.

Giulio could be defined not only as a teacher of astrophysics,

but Giulio was astrophysics.

Because my papa... my father...

wasn't just a... a man...

I'm sorry. I just can't do this.

I'm graduating this year and it's thanks to him.

He was a father to me.

A friend, a teacher.

Everything, basically.

The only thing he never managed to do is what he's doing now.

Leaving me alone.

- - Our dear brother Giulio,

all the words we have just heard only confirm...

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I would really like to say something.

My father's time is over.

That's what we're all here celebrating. Aren't we?

However, you wanna know something?

That's not true because time doesn't exist.

The clearest memory I have of him

is when he would try and explain this absurd thing to me.

"Time and space are concepts that don't exist,

and what has been will always be

due to the different perception of time relative to...

where we are."

So,

I never did get my head around it.

He would tell me that behind this mystery was God.

So, in the end,

did you unravel this mystery, Professor?

What I've discovered instead,

is that time and space do actually exist.

And what you do leaves a mark,

Professor Costa.

At times, I've felt like a Martian on this Earth.

Therefore, if time doesn't exist, as you said,

I don't have to say farewell.

If space doesn't exist,

it means you are not here.

You are, you were, and you will be, or on another planet, of course.

And I'll remain here,

in this time, in this space.

Carrying your mark.

I don't believe you didn't feel anything seeing him after 20 years. Come on.

What do you think?

Does it seem normal to put on such a show in church?

What the hell? Who shows up dressed like that?

Who cares what he was wearing?

Plus, I'm sorry, but he was much better

than all the formal words of his colleagues.

It was nice of Giada to come. I didn't expect that.

Anyway, I'd have liked to have at least said "hello."

I don't remember stopping you.

No. You just asked me to take his majesty to the car.

- Didn't you see he was ready to go? - Yeah.

- Did you? - But I...

- Oh my God. Where is he? - I don't know.

Oh God, Carolina. My God. Where is he?

- I wasn't gonna lock him in. - Where did he go? Sebastiano!

I understood what you said earlier, by the way.

Oh yeah?

Really?

Yes, yes. Um, so you also feel like you...

you feel like a Martian.

Yeah.

For my whole life.

Forever for me too.

No. I mean, not forever, but since I figured out how things work.

So we have something in common.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Uh, today, I...

I brought this, I don't...

I don't know why.

It's about us, anyway.

Uh, I mean it's...

If you've read it already... I don't know. If... I haven't read it. It's yours.

It's about us?

Yes.

In what sense?

About us Martians.

Right?

- Yes. - Yeah.

Well, it's not my kind of book. I'll read it later.

Hey. But listen.

You must be one of my father's students?

What are you? A future scientist?

You guys are a weird bunch. Yeah?

- No. I'm... - Sebastiano?

Come on, love. Let's go back to the car.

- Come. Come. - Tesla.

No. Hang on, Mom. Wait. Wait.

Who's that? Who is he?

Who is he, really?

- You can tell me in the car. - He told me... He told me I was weird.

We're going to the car.

He told me I'm weird. He told me that...

He makes a scene all the time.

It was a misunderstanding. Come on.

Have I changed that much or did you pretend not to recognize me in the church?

Welcome back, Nik. I'm happy to see you.

I have nothing to say.

Hey. Come on.

We could've let him sleep here since it would've only been for a few days.

The door!

So then what about your brother?

We almost had a major meltdown at the church, Carolina.

Tesla, what meltdown? You act like he has the plague.

I don't want Nik to know about it. Okay?

No. You don't want anyone to know about it.

I'm just trying to protect him.

Anyway, that means something. He came here just for the funeral.

Listen to me.

Your uncle doesn't give a shit about Grandpa.

You don't know him.

As soon as we open the will and he gets his money,

God willing, he will vanish again as he's always done.

Maybe this time he won't.

And maybe he will.

And, hopefully, fast.

Thank you.

Seriously, thank you.

Oh. I don't mind. It's no big deal.

I think you know what I mean.

Look. I'm only trying to persuade

the most talented cellist at the conservatory to play with me.

Of course.

All he's thinking about right now is that mission to Mars.

And these fixations can last months.

Then with Dad's death...

Hey.

I pictured your brother differently. You know?

Yeah. Same.

If only... you know.

...you've never used it. Right, Tesla?

Huh? What? Sorry?

- Hey, Carolina. - She doesn't listen.

What were you saying? Tell me what you said.

I was telling Emma that the profile I created for you two months ago

has more followers than mine.

- Again? - You're going strong.

I'll never use it.

You look so beautiful here, Tesla.

Would you stop that, please?

God, Tesla. You act like I signed you up to be an escort. Hmm?

And there's nothing wrong with that.

You kidding? You have no idea what a fatal risk she would run

by meeting someone, relaxing, making new friends,

and taking a break from breathing down Sebastiano's neck for a day.

- Hmm? -

It's not for me.

Excuse me. Please. Now. You keep eating. Don't worry about me.

Mm. We finished a while ago.

We have.

Oh.

- A joint? - Nik, please no.

- I'm joking. - God.

Morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, Tesla.

- Hi. - Hi, Federico.

- My condolences to you. - Thank you.

You must be Nikola. Right?

Federico Valmonte. I was a friend of your father.

Hi.

Well, I have to say, I've always been amused by the choice of your names.

Nikola, Tesla.

Yeah. Only a brilliant mind like the professor's could come up

with giving you the name of a physicist such as Nikola Tesla,

but split between you both.
