Where's my stupid phone?

Aah!

Oh, honey, look.

It's... wow.

It's gotta be here somewhere.

I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry.

Where the hell's my phone?

Oh, sorry, Ms. lady,

but we're almost there.

Sorry.

Wow. It's exactly the same.

20 years in the blink of an eye.

Ohh.

It's really something, isn't it?

Oh.

Where is it?

Where's what? Oh, you know what?

I have to remember

to write to uncle George

and thank him... My cell phone,

which I strongly

suspect you stole.

Well, that would be very

uncharacteristic of me.

I am someone people steal from.

Give it to me!

I don't have it.

Gosh.

Oh, calm dow...

Calm down. Please!

I don't have it.

Give it to me! I don't...

Buongiorno.

You rented the

cottage from George?

I live opposite, so...

Luca?

Maggie?

I thought...

I thought you moved to France.

I moved back.

I bought the old farm,

the villa.

The big villa?

This cannot be happening.

She must be your sister?

She wishes.

This is... This is summer.

She's my daughter.

Your daughter.

I can't believe this.

I know. Me neither. It's...

May I invite you for a

drink in... in my garden?

Oh, that's... That's very nice,

but we just got here,

and we haven't

even unpacked, and...

I understand.

But if you change your mind,

you are very welcome.

Bye.

Bye.

Ma.

Ma!

Yep?

Is he why we're here?

No.

No, no, god, no. I...

I had no idea.

I thought he moved away.

You knew he was back.

I haven't thought of him

in 20 years.

Yeah, right.

Sheez.

Yo.

Oh, my god. Tyler, you're out.

You made bail?

Didn't you, uh, get my text?

My... my mom's such a b*tch.

I think she stole my phone.

How crazy is that?

Babe, you have got

to get back here.

If you don't get back and

take the rap for this,

I am going down,

like down to a place

even lower down than,

like, Chinatown low.

I know, but it's complicated.

Complicated is

how I'm gonna feel...

Tyler. If I go down for this.

I'll try and get home, ok? I...

I love you, Tyler.

Stop it.

You do?

I'll find a way.

I promise.

Ok.

Maybe we should go

say hello, you know?

Might seem rude not to.

You settling in?

Mm-hmm.

It's nice, isn't it?

Yeah.

Oh, see? This must

be his pottery.

It's pretty colors.

Wow.

Hey. Hey.

You came after all.

Come. Let me

offer you something.

Oh, no. I mean, you don't

need to go to any trouble.

Ah, come on. I insist.

You are my guests. Come on.

Wow.

The villa. The villa, yes.

The villa.

So...

You married...

What was it? Jock?

Jack. Jack. Oh, Jack.

I'm happy everything worked out.

I mean, actually, we were...

We were divorced last year,

so I-it didn't...

I'm sorry to hear that.

No, no, no. It's ok.

Just... Please, sit down.

Josh Appignanesi

Josh Appignanesi (born 1975) is a British film director, producer, and screenwriter. Appignanesi is best known for the feature film Song of Songs (2006), starring Natalie Press, which he directed, co-wrote and co-produced. The film won several awards including a special commendation for Best British Film at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Made on a tiny budget, the film is a dark study of the intense relationship between a brother and highly religious sister in London's orthodox Jewish community. The film had a small, arthouse UK release but received critical acclaim; The Observer said it "reveals a distinctive and bold new voice in British cinema." He recently directed and script edited the comedy feature film The Infidel, written by David Baddiel and starring Omid Djalili, Richard Schiff, Archie Panjabi, Amit Shah and Yigal Naor. Produced by Arvind David at Slingshot, the film follows the adventures of a British Muslim everyman (Djalili) who discovers he was born Jewish. The film was released internationally in Spring 2010, in the UK with distributor Revolver Entertainment. He has written and directed several short films, most notably Ex Memoria (2006) which also stars Natalie Press as well as Sara Kestelman in a study of a woman with Alzheimer's disease, funded by the Wellcome Trust; and Nine 1/2 Minutes (2003), a romantic comedy starring David Tennant. He lives in London and studied anthropology at King's College, Cambridge, where he was a contemporary and close friend of the novelist Zadie Smith. He is the son of writers Lisa Appignanesi and Richard Appignanesi. more…
