At a book reading, a woman gives him her address, and the next day they meet and take a country-side drive to a local Italian village.

- art belongs to Italy?

- My husband is not interested in this.

He would like to know what you think of...

What you have said before is perfect.

- The idea of the power...

- I, I pointed out... .

that this statue... or what

the artist wanted to convey...

is the omnipotence of man.

So, in a single block...

It is only one block or are there more pieces?

I do not know, I do not see well...

May we approach a bit?

Repeat what you said before,

it was a nice thing...

You said that what struck you

in this sculpture was...

the serenity of the woman's face...

as it is rested on the man's shoulder.

It gave you the impression that

she had found someone to count on...

- And that she did not feel alone anymore.

- Yes, but you said...

- But you were in agreement...

- Yes, it is a very good impression.

- But when you look at that statue...

- Excuse me, I did not catch your name...

- J... James?

- James is fine.

- I'll tell you something, can I talk to you?

- Sure.

You clearly an educated

man, seriously...

and you could be my son...

I would like to give

fatherly advice... .

- Can I?

- I'm listening.

Before I ask you...

I'm curious...

No, I'll get straight

to the point...

I think the only thing

she wants...

is that you walk beside her and

lay your hand on her shoulder.

It's everything you

would expect.

But she is critical...

I do not know what happened between

you... I can not know. And I do not care.

It does not concern me.

But all your problems...

could be erased...

with a simple gesture.

This gesture.

Do it... let go...

Do not make things more complicated

than they are!

Yes. . thanks for the advice...

but now we must go.

We are looking for a place to eat.

- A restaurant?

- Yes.

- There is a great restaurant here in front.

- Really?

I recommend it, it's really good.

- Shall we go?

- Okay.

Glad to have met you.

It was a beautiful evening...

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye... Very nice...

- Thank you, thank you very much.

- Goodbye.

- Are you hungry?

- Very... yes.

But it's too late for lunch.

It's too early for dinner!

There is no one...

Would you like red?

- There are some good wines here?

- Yes. .

In short, they are not as good as

ours, but better than yours!

Very nice!

I'm joking...

What? What's happening?

Why did we come here?

What's wrong?

Taste... and tell me.

Yes, it's a bit...

Corked!

Yes, a lot... !

Yes, you can't drink it.

We'll change it.

It is not a problem...

It is a convention... You taste it,

you say that is good... that's all.

You're too demanding...

you can not find an exceptional

wine list in a small trattoria

lost in the middle of Tuscany!

And then, well...
