02x02 - Setbacks and a Wedding

[bunniefuu]

We are at the airport now.

Me. A musician.

Johnny, the guitar player.

José, the drummer.

Hey, Sesê. The guitar guy.

And Nara, the singer.

And the most curious of all.

Grandpa Gil.

Where?

Gil Family : Traveling with the Gils

We arrived in Morocco.

Now Jerry wants to change hotels.

We have to change hotels.

There was a technical problem.

Any problem, he's there for us.

Jerry is trying to take the other part.

And move the equipment to another hotel.

We were at the restaurant.
But we got kicked out.

We could ask them to set a table for us

outside the restaurant,
now that we got kicked out.

Let's forget about the troubles.
We're in Morocco.

-This is more important.
-This is crazy.

Trouble.

CASABLANCA
MOROCCO

DAY #7 OF THE TOUR

-Good afternoon, Mr. Gilberto.
-Good afternoon.

In those days, you were a pioneer
of the tropicalist movement.

What made you kickstart that?

It was in the spirit of the times.

-How was it?
-Good.

Cool.

Just chatting...

In French and in English.

-How cool!
-I can handle that.

While some do the sound check
and others do the ironing.

Like me.

That's right.

-But both things are part of the show.
-Sure.

Part of the presentation.

Will you put it on underneath
or take it off?

I'll take this off.

Do we have to put on the whole costume?

Did you know we're in Africa?

-Africa?
-Yeah.

-South?
-No. North. We are not in Europe.

SERENO GIL
GRANDSON

We are in Africa.

-Africa!
-Yeah. Africa!

Africa!

That's it!

Now like this, Sereno.

It's a bacurinha...

Way to go!

Okay.

We are about to start. Okay?

JERRY MARQUES
TOUR MANAGER

Let's start the show.

-Have a good show.
-There is no host.

-Have a good show, Dad.
-Have a good show.

Have a good show.

-Good show, family!
-Have a good show, Dad.

-Have a good show.
-Have a good show.

-Have a good show.
-Have a good show.

Rock it!

Have a good show, Dad.

Everybody!

Stupid people

Hypocrite people

One more time!

Stupid people

Thank you!

Thank you so much.

Thank you very much.

Casablanca!

Thank you to all Brazilians.

-Except for that mistake on Barracos.
-It wasn't a mistake.

Actually, it was a small one, Dad.

I followed the arrangement,
because you usually go, "One more!"

So, I didn't know if I should go, or not.

I said in our last rehearsal...

-During sound testing.
-The testing...

That's when I say "thank you!"

So we can agree you will always say that?

If I don't say "thank you," you do.

-Okay. Agreed.
-If I say "thank you"...

I don't know why, but I thought
we agreed you'd say, "One more!"

-"Thank you."
-My bad.

-But I won't...
-The cue is "thank you."

Now it's settled.

JOSÉ GIL
SON

-I've done this several times.
-You have. Yes.

-"Thank you."
-"Thank you." Yeah. Agreed.

Tell me who you are
Me!

-Preta was good today.
-She was.

And Nara? Incredible.

Tell me who you are

-We have 24 hours of...
-Room service. We do.

I had an orange juice.
The best orange juice in the world.

It is. Like Bento usually says.

The best there is.
In the world. Just forget it.

DAY #8 OF THE TOUR

-The best orange juice there is.
-Really?

Now we eat.

The orange here is amazing.

This is pepper.

I ordered some of this with bread.
That's fine.

-That's what I wanted.
-Great.

It's peeling off.

-Where will we go now?
-To the ceremony.

-Yes.
-Let's go?

Come on.

GNAWA CEREMONY
SPIRITUAL RITUAL OF BLACK AFRICAN MUSIC

KHALIL MOUNJI
MASTER OF THE GNAWA CEREMONY

He wants to play.

He's itching to play.

José wants to play.

The Côco. Looks like
they are dancing Côco.

Ogun, Oxum, Oxumaré

Call the guys
Tell them to go see

Gandhi's children

Iansã
Iemanjá calls Xangô

Oxossi too
Tell them to go see

Gandhi's children

Our Lord of Bonfim

Do me a favor

Call the guys
Tell them to go see

Gandhi's children

Oh, Lord in heaven
It's Carnival on Earth

Call the guys
Tell them to go see

Gandhi's children

CASABLANCA, MOROCCO
- BERLIN, GERMANY

2,690 KM COVERED


How was the trip?

NARA GIL
DAUGHTER

Tiring. I'm an old lady.

-You?
-It's a piece of cake.

It was tiring.

The bags did not arrive.

They will be here on the next flight.
Or so they say.

BERLIN
GERMANY

This is the largest fragment of the wall.

Why are there fragments?

Because in the last century
there were two ideologies.

-And a w*r called the Cold w*r.
-Cold w*r.

Cold w*r... Couldn't the wall be higher?

There was no weaponry.

-It was something political.
-Ideological.

East Berlin...

I get it. Like voting.

-Like voting.
-Yeah.

Go away, wall!

Hey, it's impossible to bring it down.

Giacomo, just so you know,
we are in Berlin.

It's totally chaotic.

The equipment didn't get here.
Total craziness.

Tomorrow we catch the bus for Perugia.

How is the preparation, the catering?

DAY #10 OF THE TOUR

It's going really well.
We are using real plants for decoration.

That's great!

We'll have a sustainable wedding,
lunch and celebration.

-Maria will love it.
-Totally sustainable.

-Welcome to Berlin.
-Thank you.

Now you'll see what it's like
to play with rented equipment

since ours is missing.
But it will be here soon.

The pedal is the worst,
but João has his own.

Bem Gil is excited.

-It will be so much fun.
-Play with a different guitar.

Bem Gil is the best person
to have in your gig.

In case of any problems, just look at him.

You'll feel fine in no time.

So, it's a small stage.

HOUSE OF WORLD CULTURES
BERLIN, GERMANY

I feel short-handed.
João at least has his pedals.

-And yours are not here.
-No.

We were about to sing something,
and there was this noise...

And someone said, "Come on!"
But it was still very noisy.

-Maybe cymbals...
-And Gilberto did this...

I was tuning the instrument.

Every sound check is like this.

Sound check is so boring.

-The worst thing.
-The worst.

-It's noisy.
-It's the worst part of the job.

-The worst part of the job.
-He likes it.

It's not because he doesn't like it.

-He likes it.
-It's part of the process.

He likes the position of leadership.

The seriousness to deal with it.
He's the teacher, that's it.

I respect him on the stage as a teacher.

Even more than as a father.

But during this tour, I thought
he would be more of a family guy.

But he is not. He's still pushing.

Scolding people, Mr. Gilberto?

THIAGO BRAGA
BACKLINE TECHNICIAN

-Scolding people once in a while...
-It's not a bad thing.

It's essential, right?

With nephews, nieces,
and many more people,

ladies and gentleman, Gilberto Gil!

Hi, good evening!

Good afternoon, good evening!

Thank you.

Every girl from Bahia
Has a saint

That God gives

Every girl from Bahia has charms

That God gives

Every girl from Bahia has a way

That God gives

Every girl from Bahia also has flaws

That God gives

That God gave

God gives

That God gave

That God gives

That God gave

That God gives

That God gave

That God gives

Go, João!

You go, boy!

Thank you, Berlin.

What a show, Mr. Gilberto.

Berlin.

-Berlin is...
-Berlin is great.

-Having all the Brazilians here.
-Here in Berlin.

DAY #11 OF THE TOUR

-Which one is ours?
-The second one.

-Is this ours?
-Yeah.

-That's Mr. Gilberto's spot.
-Really?

-Traditionally.
-I borrowed...

-Have a nice trip.
-Nice trip.

-Kisses, Bem Gil.
-Kisses. See you in Italy.

BERLIN, GERMANY - PERUGIA, ITALY

1,382 KM COVERED


When we're happy
People are people, cats are cats

A c*ck can be really cool

Everything you say should do you good

Nothing you eat should do you harm

When we're happy
We don't even think we're happy

We don't even want to think we're happy
We want

We don't even want to think
We want

We want
What we want is to live

Did you know that the more pizza you eat,
the fatter you become?

For sure.

Here's the place to chat and eat pizza.

Inside the booth...

Maybe it's because it started now.

I'll stay here forever.

Don't you want it?

BENTO'S GIRLFRIEND

You can have it.

I'll check how the other pizzas are.

Next time we ride the bus,
I'll buy pizza for everyone.

What do you want?

I did ask, Maria.

Fine.

But I asked them both, and my dad.

I know they'll want some,
should I buy more?

No, but then I'll feel hungry.
That's not cool.

We have a lot of pizzas here.

It's not a lot. How long is the trip?

Half is already gone.
In 30 minutes. It's not a lot of pizza.

-We'll stop for more.
-Not at a pizza place.

What makes me sad is they say they
don't want it and I still have to share.

But then your brothers wanted some.

I don't want it.
I'm not going to eat it, they do.

Okay, then.
Next time, they'll each get one.

-That's it.
-Okay.

-This time I didn't buy it.
-Dom, Sereno, say, "Thanks for the pizza."

-Thank you.
-Thanks.

See? Your brothers are happy.
That feeling should be the most...

How cute. My brothers are so happy.

Look at little Dom.
Look at how happy he is.

Instead of supporting Flamengo,
support your brothers.

-f*ck Flamengo.
-Now you are saying it right. That's it.

I'm gonna sample "f*ck Flamengo."

The best "f*ck Flamengo".

That's right.

Have some water.

Twitter will hit me hard because of that.

It's the kiddie g*ng.

We met when we were one year old.

-Only one.
-Only one.

And we are best friends. Hug me!

Hello, police?

My mom won't leave me alone.

Could you pick me up?

I'm on a bus travelling in Europe. Thanks.

Okay, the police are coming.

Okay, but they will take me too.

I was thinking,
Bem took History in college. History?

-Geography, dude! I had no idea.
-Geography is cool.

He only took it for one year because...
I was born, right?

Man, your dad was 19.

My mom too. She barely started.

I always had this thought,

"To me, music is just going
to be... a hobby."

It's a weight on my shoulders,

knowing I'm part
of this extraordinary family.

And people know it is extraordinary.

And I don't...
I do something ordinary, you know?

I don't feel this way.

Like, "I'm not going
to be as good as him."

I think it's a natural thing
to think about.

Obviously. No.

I look on the bright side.

There will always be someone caring
and talking about it...

You know?

So, if you think about it,

it's much easier for us

than it'd be for a friend of yours,
for example, who was in your band.

I told you that.

-About Dad in the airport.
-You did.

It wasn't you. It was João.

She broke up
with Wellington for some time.

She went to Salvador and started dating...

-Hooking up with people.
-Me hooking up, right?

-Yeah.
-I was hooking up with men, women...

-Everyone.
-Can you imagine, Nara?

Black, h*m*, from Candomblé.
The whole package.

Then Wellington goes over to my dad.

-They still worked together.
-Still together.

-Yeah.
-With my Dad.

Hoping for that nice relation...

Like, we are in-laws, both men.
All that sexism.

"Hey, Gil...

"Your daughter... We broke up,
but she is already in Salvador.

"You know her. Dating people.

"That's absurd.
We have just broken up, you know."

And Dad goes, "And whose p*ssy is it?"

-"Whose p*ssy is it? It's hers."
-"It's hers."

"She can do whatever she wants with it."

Way to go, Mr. Gilberto!

-That's right!
-That's my father!

-It was amazing.
-Who told you this story?

Several musicians. All of them.

They all told me since I wasn't around.

So what?

No, it's all right.

It's a great story. I love it!

Inside yourself
Even if it's out there

Out of yourself
Even if it's distant

And so on
Of yourself, ad infinitum

All of yourself
Even if it's for nothing

Nothing for yourself
Even because everything

Always ends up being
What was...

DAY #12 OF THE TOUR

-Good morning.
-I couldn't sleep.

We are in Italy.

-We're not in Germany.
-Bon appetite.

Bon appetite, that's it.

PERUGIA
ITALY

-Morning, Maria Gil.
-Morning.

Hey, I'll...

I'll show you the room upstairs.

If you'd rather stay there.

Do you think you can exercise here?

No.

-Who's in 514?
-Ours is 516?

It's not 514.

-It's heavy.
-Go by yourself.

I'm confused.

I'm not getting it.
Can I just enter a room and stay?

-Don't you want to see others?
-What for?

-No, it's all right.
-Is it?

-Let's get some rest.
-Okay, 516 is yours.

-Thank you, I just needed this.
-Okay, I'm sorry.

There are many things. No sleep,

time zone, food.
In six days, a week on tour,

I was a mess. I hadn't gone
to the bathroom in seven days.

Because of the food.
Then I went to Morocco, ate something,

I had a schnitzel.
Man, the next day. Jeez! Forget it.

Forget it. It was a disaster.
I threw up in the Berlin hospital.

I looked like The Exorcist.

-That's odd. He hasn't called yet?
-No.

So cute.

Any news on the equipment?

-Look.
-Will they be sending it today?

Look.

This is the last thing he said.

He said they found all three.

"How long are you staying?
They found all three."

Bem doesn't travel with just one guitar.
He has a sub, right?

I don't know. I guess so.

There's nothing missing for the show.
But the guitar he likes is misplaced.

The one he plays, records,
does everything with. It's his guitar.

It's the main guitar.

Who is it?

Mom!

I'm gonna cry.

Oh, my God.

LAURA FERNANDEZ
SOL DE MARIA'S MOTHER

Hi.

I have something for you.

I missed you guys so much!

How are you?

-Now I'm happy that you're here.
-Me too.

I was like this...

-What's up?
-How are you?

I threw everything on the floor.

Everywhere she goes, she buys something.

-You're very beautiful.
-Mom!

-Look at the sneakers!
-Surprise!

I have to clean these.

Did you like the surprise?
Do you know who did it?

Thanks, Grandma!

MARIA GIL
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF THE TOUR

-Are you excited?
-Almost there.

We are excited.

I even had this dream about being a bride,
the last time around.

Now it's just a celebration
with the family.

Your family isn't the kind
to have weddings like this.

Like. More traditional.

Preta did. And so did you. On your first.

But ours wasn't in a church.
Now, I'm here as a guest.

Giacomo is in charge of everything.

-He's the producer.
-He is.

He's been collecting samples since Monday.
Or Tuesday.

I'm delegating more.
I'm trying to have more fun.

I already have the tour to produce.

Hello. Hi, dear. Are you okay?

Great. You?

Not bad.

Tired?

A little bit.
The last couple of days I could...

It was quite intense in the beginning.

-Where will you go from here?
-We'll go to Slovenia.

-Beautiful.
-Yeah.

It's been a month.

You have already been here for a month.

-We have met here. Haven't we?
-We have, yeah. For a fest.

-When it used to be at the garden.
-In the '90s.

This is just like Salvador.

Just like the carnival in Bahia.

-Just like it.
-Carnival in Bahia.

We're in Perugia, and it's summer.

You realize how happy people are here.

It's really a festival.

It's been what, 30, 40 years?

One of the oldest around here.

I can't be late today.

It's okay. Tomorrow we don't...
Tomorrow is Maria's wedding.

-And there's also that?
-Yeah.

Good evening, everyone.
Welcome to the Umbria Jazz.

We are about to start.
With the Brazilian dance.

They are doing tai chi.

I don't get it. I just follow him.

But I don't care

I already forgot
To forget you because

Your wish
Is my best pleasure

And my fate

Is keep wanting more

...runs
For your sea

Now come close, come

Come quickly, come endlessly

Inside of me
I want to feel

Your body weighing on mine

Come, baby, come to me
Hold me slowly

Bela... Gil.

I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail

I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail

Sing, Perugia!

I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail

I'll walk with faith
Faith doesn't usually fail

Gil!

Grandpa!

And Ana, because she looks
Like an island gypsy

DAY #14 OF THE TOUR

Dulcina because

She is a saint, she is a saint
And kissed me on the mouth

Blue, because blue is a color
And color is feminine

How are you feeling, Maria?

I'm okay.

Never seen a bride so calm.

-And to take the leap
-And to take the leap

I tie myself to the tower
On top of the mountain

Tied up in the tower
You can go to the whole world

And wherever I go in the world
I see my tower

-I just shake
-I just shake

The rope takes me back to her

Oh, Sandra

Hey, João!

Dead battery?

No. But we have to recharge it.

Giacomo must be going crazy.
He is in charge of the preparations.

-When did you last see him?
-February.

-And you haven't seen each other since?
-No.

Fran and I were talking about it.

Marrying someone you haven't seen
for a while, that's odd.

It's a mix of longing, anxiety...

-Because of the reunion.
-Exactly.

Narinha, my love.

GIACOMO PIRAZZOLI
SON-IN-LAW

Now it's the time to cry. I know.

-Over there, please.
-There's a lot of people.

That's great.

-Is this Giacomo's house?
-Yes, it's his mother's.

This house is built
over the old city walls.

So it's on the edge of the city
and my great-grandmother built it.

-So it belongs to your family?
-Yes.

That's the first time
Giacomo went to Brazil. Seven years ago.

-Maria sent this for you.
-Thank you.

If you want to wear it.
And the shoes as well.

And she said she's ready when you are.

Are you ready, dear? Let's go.

She's coming.

Give it up for the bride!
Here comes the bride.

Looking uncomfortable.

Gorgeous!

My love!

Beautiful!

-Long live Italy!
-Long live!

Hooray!

-Long live the families!
-Long live!

Maria is incredible.

I always joke with Maria
about romantic things.

She says, "You are too romantic."

I always forget
and say romantic things, like...

"I love you." And she says, "I know."

Sometimes she says, "I get it."

-I understand.
-Now I put it on you.

The Gil family, the children,

grandchildren, great-grandchildren,
everyone.

We all came to celebrate life,

to support this union...

It encourages the continuation
of the human race.

That's it. They continue.

It's been years since
I last listened to this music.

The b*mb that exploded
in the hall of our love.

That is just the starters, okay?

There's also tagliatelle, she said.

-Pasta.
-It looks good.

-It's beautiful.
-So many things.

Bela, what is this?

Gooseberry.

-Gooseberry.
-Gooseberry, that's it.

He's really excited.

He is really happy.

Kiss!

Now my dad and my stepmother!

What did you want to say to granny?

I want you to give Grandpa a big kiss.

-Grandma!
-Kiss!

Now Auntie's going to do it.
She's gonna kiss you.

Kiss!

Congratulations!

Get a room!

IN THE NEXT EPISODE

We're at the Fontana di Trevi.

PERUGIA - ROME

Our mission for today
is the bees thing and the boat.

We're doing Aquele Abraço? Do that thing?

-It's an honor.
-You are a real improviser.

Leave it to me.
