0:33:37 > 0:33:41- This is probably one - of my most precious belongings.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- The photos are amazing.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- It's great to have - a father who is a photographer.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Mum was only 20 when she had me.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58- Seeing this photo is strange. She's - four years younger than me now.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- She just looks like mum to me.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- I'm not sure if I want children.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- I suppose it depends - on who I meet...

0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Yes, I had two children - when I was your age.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- I wouldn't call them brats!
0:34:38 > 0:34:42- It's great having children - when you're young.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- It's great to travel as well!
0:34:44 > 0:34:45- It's great to travel as well!- - Yes.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46- Doing both would be the answer.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- Doing both would be the answer.- - Maybe.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- What was in that letter?
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- I owe the Student Loans Company...

0:35:19 > 0:35:20- It's interest.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- How are you going to pay that off? - Oh, yes, busking.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25- Yes.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- I don't have to pay it off, - that's the point.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- The aim is to die...
0:35:31 > 0:35:33- ..before they get 22,000 from me!
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Especially if - there's interest on it.

0:36:17 > 0:36:19- At a certain point...
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- ..we help you discover things - and you like it or you don't.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- It depends on your personality.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- But Margaux and you share - a passion for music.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38- I have the feeling that you two - had a kind of musical fusion.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44- You were carried - by dad's enthusiasm and support.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- And you see Margaux like that.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- But your mum and I, - it's a part of our...
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- ..educational credo.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57- As in a class...
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- ..we guide children, or students...
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- ..to do what they are born to do.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07- Italy
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Even if it scares me, I like - driving. I can be independent.
0:37:16 > 0:37:22- I don't always have to ask Luca to - take me somewhere, especially work.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- It's become difficult. - Everyone has things to do.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29- It's nice like this.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- It gives me the chance to drive...
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- ..out of Monopoli, whenever I want.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- As a person, I'm a sort of mix...
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- ..of liberal - and conservative values...
0:37:48 > 0:37:53- ..my family and - a profoundly Catholic education.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- My spirituality, my religion...
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- ..helped shape my identity.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- I am grateful to God - for what I am and what I have.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- Everything is a gift. Really.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Even meeting Luca is a gift.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- I think it's through Luca...
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- ..that God gives me strength.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30- Yes.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- We often talk about religion...
0:38:41 > 0:38:47- ..what it means to me, to my atheist - friends, to my gay friends.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- It changed me a lot...
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- ..and made me more open-minded...
0:38:55 > 0:38:59- ..more aware of what I am - and more respectful of others.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03- I have beliefs, but it doesn't - mean I think others should.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- It's part of growing up, certainly.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- I'm not nostalgic.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15- Some say, "It was better - when we were in school."
0:39:15 > 0:39:17- No, actually, it's better at 30.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23- You're more aware - of what you did in your past.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- At 20, you fear the future. - There are many years ahead.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- You don't know what you want to do.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35- Greece
0:39:49 > 0:39:51- Did you meet your friends?
0:39:53 > 0:39:57- Did you meet anyone - you want to work with?
0:39:58 > 0:40:02- Yes, we went - to Asimina's place again.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05- She told us about the cooperative.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- If we take her way of life - as an example...
0:40:09 > 0:40:13- ..living here requires - doing several things.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- We've already talked - about how I see myself here.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20- I'll have my own work.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- But also at community level...
0:40:27 > 0:40:31- ..I'll work with other people.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- For example, food production...
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- ..managing fields or ecosystems.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47- Why not something on a larger scale, - like educational projects...
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- ..or agritourism?
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- OK. Will you do that with Dimitra?
