A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Hey! There he is, the bastard!

- Run! - Stop, asshole. I'll kill you!

Until recently, I was invisible.

Nobody noticed me. Until...

Sharif, don't do anything stupid!

...they arrived.

Stop, you bastard!

- Don't do anything stupid! - Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

Open!

I have a special gift for you.

It's a grigri.

It's magic, and if you always keep it with you,

it'll be like always being together.

I am one of many here, invisible as the neighborhoods we live in.

What changes is their monuments.

The Barrio has a Migrant Monument.

Spot-on.

Awa, it's time to go to school.

Good morning to you too.

They're going to rehabilitate the neighborhood. That's why.

This is my father.

We speak different languages,

but that's not why we don't understand each other.

It's not about the language. It's about communication.

It's from the new owners.

They raised the rent. They're throwing us out.

- Well, we'll find somewhere else. - What?

I worked very hard to raise you both here.

Sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.

You're just like your mother. You don't care about your roots.

Omar, it's almost 7:30. Why didn't you wake me up?

Awa, you'll be late for school.

That's supposed to be my mom, but I can't look at her.

Painted portraits scare me.

That's my real mother.

Finally, I'm alone and I can draw.

Manga with black characters.

If you're wondering what Japanese manga has to do with a Black kid born in Milan,

the answer is nothing.

I have nothing to do with anything.

But when I draw, I don't need anything else.

Hey, Dietmar. This is from Sandokan, on the house.

- Eat slowly, you'll choke. - I can't die.

I'm a superhero.

What's your power?

People don't notice me.

So,

I always know everything.

About everyone.

And about you too.

All right.

Bye, Dit.

Tell the owner he needs to put more oregano in the pizza.

Okay.

- Hi. - Hi.

Two with extra onion and one Yanez.

- It's €25. - No, the Yanez was with extra onion.

Hurry up, bro.

It doesn't matter.

- Bye. - Your change!

I'm the pizza delivery boy, just another way of saying nobody.

- Who is it? - Pizza delivery.

That's enough. I don't want this negative energy anymore.

Same old story, what a pain!

Hello?

Go on with your life then. I don't care. Do you understand?

I don't want to. Nothing will change. I swear.

So 1,000 kilometers won't change anything?

Are you kidding me?

Edo, don't be childish.

- Enough. - Excuse me.

- Edo! - Fuck off.

- Excuse me? - Don't act like a kid, damn it!

Excuse me!

No!

Whoa!

Whoa, whoa.

Hey!

Wait. Look.

Look.

Oh!

Oh! I'm sorry!

I'm the pizza guy.

God, I'm sorry. Did I lock you in?

I tried to call, but...

I'm really sorry. Wait. I'll get some money.

No problem.

I'm sorry.

Here you are.

Your pizzas will be cold by now.

Mm.

Shame about your friends. The Tremal-Naik one is fantastic.

Okay.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Um.

Listen, why don't you stay?

Then one night, Gae Aulenti appeared to me in a dream.

And she says,

"Anna, do you want to be an architect?"

Anna, you're the most beautiful girl

I've ever seen.

They say that's how it happens.

Is it possible?

- Know what I mean? - Really?

A revelation.

So I wondered, "Do you really want to give up your lifetime dream

just to make your boyfriend happy?"

It wouldn't be a problem for me.

- Ah. - If you love someone,

you let them do what they want.

Mm.

Gosh, sorry. I've been talking non-stop.

Let's talk about you.

Where are you from?

Where's your family from? I'm from Rome.

My parents are from Senegal,

but I've never been there.

I live in the Barrio, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Is it that place where vandals set scooters on fire?

- Is that why you say that? - Not really.

I'm not that bothered about the neighborhood...

I think you're wrong. I mean, where you live is important.

Ever heard of the broken windows theory?

Ah.

Okay.

The broken windows theory says that if you don't repair a broken window,

you'll get used to it.

So next time a window breaks, you'll say,

"If I can live with one broken window, I can live with two."

And you end up living like shit.

If you let things go badly, it'll only get worse.

It's a vicious cycle.

We have to take action.

I do take action.

- Uh, I'm about to move to Belgium. - Really?

Yes.

Ah-ha.

I draw comics.

There's no market here.

But over there...

It's a pity you're leaving.

Not that I'm leaving tomorrow. I mean...

Uh, I'm still saving up money.

I haven't told my father or my sister yet.

I get it. You're one with big dreams that never come true.

- No, but... - Listen.

If you want to go, then go.

There will always be someone who'll make it hard.

Oh!

Sorry. Damn, it's so late!

Yes.

- Thanks for the pizza. - No problem.

- Anna. - Thank you.

Omar.

That fucking broken windows theory. Damn whoever invented it.

There he is! There's the bastard!

Sharif, what are you doing?

Stop, asshole, or I'll kill you!

- I'll kill you! - Where did you find that?

Stop! Bastard!

Sharif!

Don't do anything stupid!

Stop, you bastard!

Stop!

Stop!

Sharif!

Sharif! Don't do anything stupid!

Stop! Stop!

Hey! Stop!

I'll count to three.

One...

...two...

three!
