Claire, have you looked out the window?
It's 80 degrees, it's summer.
I know, but it's a tradition.
We have to sing it every year driving to grandpa's.
- I see cows. - I know.
And the best part.
Stop!
Dad, can you tell mom to stop?
You guys are like hurting my ears.
Doesn't it sound like someone is ringing a bell?
It sounds to me like a knock-knock joke.
Like, ding-dong.
Mom, I have to pee again.
What?
Brakes, brakes.
Deviated from route.
I know, it's intentional.
Recalculating, recalculating.
Stop yelling at me.
Mom, it's a machine.
You only think it's mad at you.
You're projecting.
Just breathe. We're in Italy.
Who gave the GPS that accent, huh?
It's awesome.
Dad showed me.
You can set the sat nav to any accent you like.
- Yeah, it's Swedish. - You know, Greta Thunberg?
Projecting?
What 10-year-old even talks like that.
Well, welcome to a child in therapy.
- Now what's she doing? - Her school project.
She's documenting her summer.
No one tells me anything.
Sometimes nobody bothers to ask.
Help him out, help him out.
Hello, Mr. O'Malley.
Hello.
- Claire bear! - Grandpa.
We're gonna be there in 47 minutes.
Oh good.
- What's that noise? - Oh, that's a helicopter.
You see it?
Grandpa got a helicopter.
Grandpa definitely does not have a helicopter.
How's my daughter?
- I bet she's driving. - Of course she is.
- Hi Dad. - Yeah, and she's exhausted.
Super exhausted.
And she's riddled with anxiety.
Yeah, it's true. I could sleep for a month,
but nothing a plate of Otto's fried anchovies won't fix.
Otto!
Abbie wants your fried anchovies.
Don't put it on the ground.
Hurry up, drive carefully.
Bye-bye, love you.
Love you, bye.
Ah, that was my granddaughter.
Surprise visit.
They usually come at Christmas.
It's a big mystery.
Oh. Oh, okay.
All right, it's okay.
You're... all right.
He came with the hotel, and what are you gonna do?
It's gonna be good.
Hi.
It's August, why are they here?
Why are they here, Otto?
Something's up.
Something's definitely up.
Well, if you want my opinion, sir,
perhaps she's pregnant.
Fried anchovies.
Oh yes, and she said she was tired.
She said she could sleep for a month.
You're a genius, Otto.
Fingers crossed.
- Wouldn't go that far. - No, genius.
Pregnant.
- Welcome home. - Grandpa, Grandpa!
Look at you.
We are in Italy!
Grandpa, Grandpa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Where are you going?
I'm gonna find Walter.
I wanna see who's around.
They must be so excited to see you.
They don't know I'm here.
- Hey, Lawrence. - Hey.
Good?
Later, we'll talk later.
- I promise. - Talk later.
Anchovies.
- How are you feeling? - Nauseous.
Listen, I'm gonna need the room for a FaceTime call.
- Now? - Yeah.
I'll be right down, I promise.
It'll just take a second.
Nope, not good enough, Abbie.
I'm on my European vacation too, and I'm working.
Persavich's trial is huge.
It can make you or break you.
Don't disappear on me, right?
Isn't that the point of vacation?
I know where you are, you know?
- How the hell do you-- - Abbie we're a law firm.
Discovery is what we do.
Let me know if I can help with anything.
Kiss, kiss.
Ugh, no, Phil, you definitely can't help.
Who says a girl can't give a boy flowers?
What do you think?
That's a nice camera.
What do you say, that's a very nice camera
for taking pictures of kids.
Eh, gotta love it. Now all it has to do is pair.
Okay, yeah.
Well, I don't know what you're talking about.
You know, pair like the iPhone talks to the camera
and then the iPad and the iPhone talk to each other.
Eh, how about Jacob talking to Lawrence?
How about we just wait for Abbie
to get done with her Zoom?
Okay, yeah.
Fried anchovies.
Oh, Otto, they look so good.
- What are you doing? - Celebrating.
- Celebrating what? - You tell me.
Dad, no.
Oh, you can't have alcohol.
I get it, I get it.
Just opening it anyway.
Dad, you're gonna wanna sit down for this.
All set.
Dad.
Jacob and I are separating.
Oh, oh, oh.
Standby, clean up aisle seven.
That little hut
is where people shelter in a blizzard.
It's called il rifugio.
- That's Nicolo the nerd. - Claire?
Oh, and his brother, Stefano.
Hey, Nicolo, hey Stefano.
- I'm gonna find Walter. - No, Claire.
Claire, wait, wait up.
And that up ahead is what's called a chalet.
Walter and his family stay there twice a year.
Walter's my--he's my favorite person, actually.
- Wait up, Claire. - Claire.
Walter!
Claire?
What are you doing here?
It's summer.
Aren't you happy to see me?
It's just, I didn't know you were coming.
Who are you?
I don't like labels in relationships,
but to keep things simple, I'm Walter's girlfriend.
I don't like labels either.
But to keep things simple, I am Walter's girlfriend.
Uh, I don't really get this whole label thing.
But Claire, you're the winter one
and Johanna's the summer one.
Uh... nice camera, Claire.
What are you shooting?
Some documentary on my summer vacation.
Cool.
Do you have a theme?
What, do you mean like summer love?
Actually, Walter, I'm still workshopping it, all right?
Well, I gotta say Claire's taking this
a lot better than me.
Well, Dad, that's the thing.
We haven't told her yet.
Yeah, that's why we're here.
Dad.
This is where Claire feels safe.
- A protected... - ...space...
- ...with a family history. - That's right.
So you're gonna ruin all that by telling her here?
Lawrence, we really have thought about this...
- Yeah, a lot. - ...and we believe that Claire
needs someone that's not us to tell her.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I hope you're not going where I think you're going.
Well, that way she can, you know, react...
...however she wants to.
And she doesn't feel the need to, you know,
- pick a side. - Take a side.
You know?
Someone she trusts.
Implicitly.
Dad, we need you to be the one to, you know,
break the ice on this.
Claire's therapist agrees.
Okay, her therapist thinks it's a good idea if I tell her?
Dad, the fact is you and Claire
have this really special relationship.
- Yes. - You'll, you know,
- find the right... - ...words.
You'll cushion the blow.
- Mm-hm. - You'll make it hurt less.
Please help us.
- This is really heavy. - This is really heavy.
- Really hard. - Really hard.
What am I supposed to do with this?
It's a condiment.
Condiments of the season.
Slippage.
There's serious slippage happening here.
Walter has a summer girlfriend.
Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
That's rough.
And she's Dutch.
Why is Dutch a problem?
No, no, it's a problem because Dutch is cool.
The Dutch have more bikes per capita
than any other European country.
How am I supposed to even begin to compete with that?
- You want more strudel? - No thank you.
No, grazie.
What little girl doesn't want apple strudel?
This one.
I'm not that little.
Does that mean I can have yours?
Apparently we're a beautiful family.
Claire, how about you and me,
hot chocolate on a terrace under the stars, huh?
Yeah? Otto!
We'll be back.
Let's go. Come on.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Thank you, thank you.
Should we have a little catch up?
Claire bear.
Claire bear you know, I love you more than anything
in the whole wide world.
What happened to Orion's Belt?
Well, it's summertime, so.
Everything's wrong, Grandpa.
Even the stars.
I'm worried about Mom and Dad.
They haven't been getting along
and it's been happening for months and months.
But you go first.
What makes you think they're not getting along?
They put me in therapy.
What does that tell you?
At least we had the foresight to put her in therapy.
You know, preemptively.
And you gotta hand it to us, house of harmony.
- She's never seen us fight. - Mm-mm.
Plus red flag, they never fight, Grandpa.
Like really fight.
There's just a lot of passive aggressive undercutting.
And they're always texting each other
like when they're in the same house.
Nonno?
This is the part where you're supposed to tell me
everything's fine and I'm just imagining things.
Mm.
You're a pretty smart cookie, huh?
I'll be right back.
You're the cat's pajamas.
Don't eat my cookie.
This is not a crisis, this is not a crisis.
- All bets are off. - What do you mean?
What do I mean, she's way ahead of you guys.
Get out there and talk to your daughter.
Come on, let's go.
This is not a crisis.
This is why we're here, isn't it?
Because you're breaking up.
We're not all gonna be here together at Christmas, are we?
Honey, let's take this one step at a time, okay?
Dad?
No.
Not this Christmas, no.
I love it that we're a family
who has been on vacation for three days
and we already have this much laundry.
Sweetie, let's try and make this
the best summer vacation ever.
Think of all the fun summer things
we've never tried in the Dolomites.
Look at this, they have horseback riding.
That could be fun, right?
It's practically next door.
No, Jacob, honey, that's mine.
I'll do that, that's silk.
Don't do that one.
Listen to this,
"A relaxed, gentle horse trek
crisscrossing through Paneveggio.
Surround yourself by the unspoiled nature
in the protected reserve of this," whoa,
"famous UNESCO site."
I'm going to the cellar to find my things.
Everything that's finished is on the table.
This is where Christmas lives.
As long as there's love.
There's Christmas.
My nonno made this for my nonna.
Pretty cool, huh?
There's Nonno and Grandma Jackie.
I used to have two grandmas.
Now I'm down to one.
Poppops and Gams.
Otto makes the best nutcracker ever.
Dad.
Me.
And Mom.
Here's Grandpa's fishing basket.
Grandma Jackie's cello.
Oh, this one is funny.
This is my mom's.
It's a cash cow, get it?
Because she's the breadwinner.
It means she makes all the money.
Dad's.
He used to play baseball on the weekends
with his work friends.
Not anymore.
Dad lost his job.
So he thinks he's a total loser.
He's totally acting like he's got ADHD.
I love Christmas.
And not in a materialistic way.
Somehow I always get what I want.
Well, except for the puppy,
I sort of had to let that one go.
I love Christmas because it's the one time
we really are a family.
That is so manipulative.
Effective, though.
She's breaking my heart.
I want one more Christmas as a family.
I don't care if it's summer.
I want all the decorations.
The tree. I want the stockings.
I want Gams and Poppops here.
It's not Christmas without them.
And I want the procession of panettone
in town like we do every Christmas Eve.
Honey, that's a lovely thought.
- But I don't think we'll-- - Abbie, Jacob, in my office.
Listen, there's a lot of things about this situation
that I can't control, but I can do this for Claire.
If she wants reassurance disguised as Christmas,
she's going to get it.
And if she wants Christmas in August,
I'm gonna give it to her.
And you two are gonna suck it up
and act like you're having a good time
and just do what everybody else does in the world.
Fake the crap out of it.
Make believe we're having a Holly Jolly time.
I'm gonna have a good time.
Listen, I love Christmas.
So do you.
Call Gams and Poppops.
Done deal.
Don't forget and elf in the snow.
Yes, we've got them both.
Yes, we got them.
Yep, elf, the snow.
Here, I got this.
Mama, you're a miracle worker.
Honey, I got to go.
Ma'am, this is definitely more than 3.4 ounces of liquid.
You got two choices, you can dump it or drain it.
Drain it.
Okay, Howe fill me in.
We're talking about Christmas presents,
- aren't we here folks? - In August?
Bingo, for a 10-year-old girl, allegedly.
- Ma'am, what do you do? - She's a professor.
Retired professor.
Okay, so you're not a professor.
- And you, sir? - I'm a day trader.
Mm, me too, Crypto.
What is this?
She says it's snow, sir.
Run it again and get the sniffer on this.
What are these? Stocking stuffers.
And what's this?
That is a pocket nasal hair trimmer.
For a 10-year-old girl?
Well, we panicked.
We just grabbed anything from last Christmas.
Oh, can you stop that dog?
That is, get that,
that's a family heirloom.
No, stop.
Sorry, she thinks it's her toy.
- Oh. - Oh.
Okay, can you explain these piles to me again?
Again?
You got your hazardous, you got your illegal,
and your pending.
Rose, what are you doing?
I'm putting it in hazardous honey.
You can't wear that sweater again.
I'm gonna kill you.
You can surely fix this.
Oh.
From your lips, Howie.

Oh, Mr. O'Malley.
- What's this? - That is a wreath.
Lawrence, don't you dare think for one minute
you can inflict Christmas on me or my daughter
during our summer holidays.
It's unacceptable.
Am I wrong?
Am I being unreasonable?
- No. - Is there a problem?
- I heard a bell. - Oh, it is my hat.
Yes, there is a problem.
I come here every summer.
It's my time with my daughter.
I come here to relax,
to get away from all the things that cause me stress.
And suddenly it's Christmas.
Are you kidding me?
I mean, I book five entire rooms at full price.
- Thank you very much. - Two for us,
one for the luggage and a buffer room
at each end for peace and quiet.
I'm telling you, this place is going downhill.
It used to be special.
Now it's just, what's the expression?
Run of the mill.
That's it, run of the mill.
No problem, sir, leave it to us.
We are gonna throw in the buffer rooms for free.
- We are? - Gesture accepted.
Take the buffer rooms.
Oh, another thing.
I only got three wreaths, five rooms and three wreaths.
What's that about?
- You take my point. - Yeah, absolutely.
You can either be entitled or offended.
You can't be both.
Right.
Oh.
Claire bear.
Why, why do you wanna film this?
Listen, Grandpa, the thing about documentaries
is you've gotta include the rough with the smooth.
Otherwise there's no edge.
Huh?
Crap, I'm gonna have to do the whole
meaning of Christmas poem, aren't I?
Yeah, you're the English professor.
You'll figure it out.
Retired English professor.
- Oh, Don Michele. - The priest?
He married Jacob and Abbie.
Yes, the one with the unbroken record
who's never had a marriage fail.
Boy is he in for a shock.
- Keep smiling, keep waving. - Mm-hmm.
Oh, it's Angela the baker.
What is her wife's name?
- Mar... - Martina.
- Yes. - Yeah.
You think the priest married them too?
Highly unlikely.
This is gonna be a shit show, isn't it?
Yeah.
Right, I've had enough of this.
This is about the millionaire helicopter man.
He doesn't like Christmas.
I need him.
See, he spends more money in 10 days
than five families spend in three months.
Not to worry or anything,
but I'm on the edge of bankruptcy.
Grandpa, you're not bankrupt.
You're emotionally bankrupt.
Huh?
- What do you mean? - You're emotionally bankrupt.
Well, what does that mean?
It means you miss Grandma Jackie and you're overwhelmed.
Maybe even traumatized.
Do you talk like that with your girlfriends?
Your friends in the school yard and they talk?
Is that the way you guys...?
- Yes. - Hmm.
Let's see, how do I get in here?
Shut it off for a second. Push that button.
I'm gonna talk for a second.
Okay, I just want to get to the bottom of this thing
with your mom and dad.
Do you remember when this started?
When all this began?
The friction?
Well, I can tell you exactly.
It was right after the school's family camp out.
Mom was on a business trip, so it was just Dad,
me, all the other moms.
- All the other moms. - Yeah.
Did you notice any changes in your dad?
Like, did he start weightlifting?
Was he-- did he always wear jeans?
I mean, did he ever put a fake tan on?
Grandpa, Grandpa.
These questions are getting really weird.
I know.
- Everything all right? - No.
And what's this?
That is overkill, isn't it?
You don't--leave it to me.
Not now.
They're here.
Gams, Poppop.
Oh God, you ready for more parental pressure?
- Yeah, like a root canal. - Come on!
Hi, Dad.
Bye, Dad.
Which way to the slope?
Can I get a hot toddy?
- I just love it here. - What? Wha--
- Have lunch! - Poppops, you're the best.
See, he totally gets it.
Snowball!
Ah, there you all are!
The beautiful family grows.
- Yes, my in-laws. - Hello!
Am I missing something?
- It is a long story. - Ho ho ho.
It always is.
Good evening.
Dad enough with this ski gear.
- You're sweaty, man. - Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
I don't know.
I don't know, I think I might be coming down with something.
Would you guys just excuse me?
Lawrence, do you have a minute?
You have an appointment?
I'm only kidding, Mark.
Come on in, come on.
Hey, nice outfit, look at that.
It's kind of heavy, yeah.
Oh, Mark, I don't need a heavy, I want good news.
What?
Well, it could be nothing.
But you remember 10 years ago when I came here
by myself in the summer for a few days.
Yeah, Rose was in Verona with her students.
Exactly.
Well, you know, while I was here,
I kind of met, well, I sort of bumped into,
I kind of got to know this woman.
It's okay, he's a priest.
- Like a confession. - No.
I got nothing to confess.
Nothing to confess. Lawrence.
There's something I gotta confess.
Well?
I slept with that woman, Claudia.
Claudia?
You mean Claudia who's in the hotel right now, Claudia?
It was just the one night.
'cause you know, Rose and I were going through
a rough patch, and I'm not trying
to make excuses for myself.
You know how these things happen.
Apparently I'm the only one who doesn't.
Here's the point.
I regretted it immediately
and I went home and I swore
that I would never ever, ever, ever do this again.
But Lawrence, Claudia cannot know that I'm here.
It was just the one night.
I swear.
Well, Claudia is here for the entire week,
so you're gonna just have to not show your face.
You have to lay low.
Stay in your room.
Don't be seen. I will cover for you.
I don't know why, but I will.
Thank you.
Just to be clear, I did not officiate this marriage.
Joy to the world.
Thank you, Lawrence.
My theme.
I've got my theme.
So just drop and through.
So drop and through for top spin.
Drop and thro--
Why is it snowing?
All right guys, stand by.
- Stefano. - Action.
Cut.
I'm sorry, but you can't wear tennis clothes
in a Christmas scene.
It doesn't make any sense.
Are you joking me?
Turn that camera off.
What are you all doing here?
Christmas in the Dolomites.
And you can't have Christmas without snow.
I couldn't care less.
Clear this up.
Place is crawling with kids.
Plus, guys the snow?
It's not biodegradable.
You go, darling, you know what? I'm not feeling well.
I'm just gonna lay low.
I know, all that pacing last night.
I hope your diverticulitis isn't acting up.
I know.
You know what I think the matter is?
What?
You've come down with a sudden case of Christmas.
Mm.
Such a shame.
It's a beautiful...
Ah, Rose.
- No Mark? - Not today.
How's Claire holding up?
Everything's ship-shape.
Wanna steer me somewhere fun today?
Well, how about this?
The largest stone sundial in the world.
- Pass. - The Museum of Dangers.
- You wanna kill me now? - No.
Archery?
- Now you're talking. - Okay.
Make that two.
Oh.
- Yeah, sure. - Yeah.
Okay.
Ooh, you missed the time of the pickup,
so we can't do that.
Absolutely no problem, ladies.
It would be a pleasure and an honor for me
to take you in the hotel shuttle.
Thank you.
- Rose. - Claudia.
Making a list, Otto.
I'm checking it twice and you're on it both times.
Oh.
Welcome, family in hats of elves.
My name is Delfina.
Let me ask you first, are we intermediate
or are we beginner?
Well, actually, Delfina--
Actually, we're intermediate.
Sure, sure, intermediate, right?
Good, we go.
Mrs. Abbie, behind me, please.
Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
- Dad, is Mom gonna be okay? - She'll be fine.
She's good at holding the reins.
Oh, yeah.
Hmm.
Look, Rose, this is Cinque Torri.
It means "five towers."
Just beyond there, skiing in winter.
In summer, archery.
You're going to love the teacher.
He's a retired farmer or something.
You know this place well.
Do you want to hear my long story?
What do you think?
Oh.
Jacob, you dog.
Oh.
Oh...
Lawrence, you dog.
Mom, horses can tell if you're tense, it makes them jumpy.
How jumpy?
And this is the bridge of lost and found.
If one of you is lost, we find you here.
Always here.
Wow.
How jumpy?
Wow, just wow.
And you never saw him again?
You know, it sounds like a one night stand.
Except it was a one night stand I never recovered from.
And that's definitely not the teacher I had last summer.
Ladies, I am Mario, the archery ambassador of Tyrol.
Archery is a spiritual exercise.
The target is ultimately one of self transformation.
Archery's a process in which we stop thinking
and let ourselves be led by the moment.
Lead on.
Come on, get it together.
- Whoa. - Move.
Go.
No, Mrs. Abbie, talk with your legs.
What does that even mean, talk with your legs?
It means communicate bodily.
You know, talk with your legs.
Oh, right.
Mom!
Oh, whoa! Oh! Oh! Whoa! Wait.
Oh, boy.
Dad!
Dad, go!
Stay there, Claire.
- Stay there. - Abbie, I'm coming!
Mrs. Abbie, pull the reigns.
- Mrs. Abbie! - Okay, I got you.
I got you, I got you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Relax, relax, we're fine.
He lied!
Mr. Jacob lied, okay?
I'm a beginner, okay?
I'd like to go home, please.
- But, Mom. - Now!
I have a FaceTime at four anyway.
By the way, way to go, Dad.
First we spread the legs.
I think he wants us to spread the legs.
Pull the arco.
Later we will pull it back for real.
Next, nock in the arrow.
You are going to want to hear that click
- when you pop it off. - Yes.
Hold your arco.
Relax.
Open your chest like a warrior.
Now, the grip.
When you place your hand on the grip,
you want to use the meaty part.
- The meaty part? - The meaty part of your hand.
Excuse me, I get your grips.
Do you think he's flirting with us?
Actually, no.
Would you mind if he was?
Are you kidding?
Oh God, Claudia.
I'm having so much fun.
You know what really worries me about retirement?
All these fun things I wanna do in my life.
I'm afraid that my husband
doesn't wanna do any of them with me.
I've brought you both your own thumb punch releases.
Does mine come with batteries?
Your groupings are getting tighter.
That's just what I was thinking.
- Claudia. - Yes?
The unforgettable night.
I need more details.
If you get the bullseye,
I promise I'll tell you.
- Let's go for one more. - Mm.
Remember, no thinking.
Let the target find you.
Is that a tattoo on your chest?
Yes.
Mark, I had the best day.
You know that woman that eats on her own?
Her name is Claudia.
She is extraordinary.
She's joining us for dinner.
You are going to love her.
She is so much fun.
We both hit bullseyes.
- I can't go. - Of course you can.
You can just sit there and sip broth.
- What's going on? - Oh, Mark.
- Wait, what are you doing? - Mark.
- What are doing? - Mark?
I want a one night stand.
Oh, wait, I can't, I just, the left side.
Mark, Mark, Mark, she told me the most amazing story.
So romantic, tragic, but so romantic.
A few years ago, she met this magical man.
He was staying here,
and the connection was so intense
that she comes back every year just to feel close to him.
Do you know what he told her?
He told her that she laughed like a pirate
and made love like a poet.
Oh my gosh, Mark, you've got to see her.
Look at her.
You've got to see her.
Look at her.
Isn't she gorgeous?
No, I'm sorry.
Mark, honey.
Seriously?
Phil, Persavich is on a yacht.
He won't even look at the contract for another 10 days.
You want me to come and hold your hand?
Apparently I'm only 98.3 miles away.
Make or break, Abbie, just do it.
Ciao.
If I say something, you promise not to be mad?
- No. - I just don't understand
the hold this guy has on you.
You're 10 times the lawyer he is.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't listen in on my calls.
So how is going your summer?
Well, I'm being a complete bitch to everyone,
especially Jacob.
And no one can stand to be around me, especially Jacob.
Am I absolved?
Can we go back to the shore now,
so you tell my father I had nothing to say?
Abbie, you know anything you say will stay between us.
You can do that out here, officially, in a rowboat?
Sure.
Um...
Can you hold please?
- Here we go. - Okay.
Okay, there is something,
something I just can't seem to get past.
If your husband has made some transgressions,
it doesn't have to mean the end of your marriage.
Aren't you worried that the priest that married you both
has cornered your wife on the lake?
- No. - Maybe you should be.
It's not so much a transgression as it was a concession.
And it wasn't my husband, it was me.
Holy crap!
With my creepy boss, Phil, on our spring retreat.
I'll never drink tequila sunrises again, that's for sure.
I hate that it happened.
And I haven't told Jacob, I just can't.
Swear to me you won't tell him or my father.
How you say in English?
Did you go the whole pig?
- What? - Pig.
Pig?
No.
- And it's hog. - Hog.
I did not go the whole hog.
As if that helps.
It definitely helps.
Don Michele, it's not about what happened.
It's about why it happened.
Hi.
Dad, can we stop?
- And one second. - Action.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Okay, come on, come on.
Meet your soulmate
right here by this frozen lake.
In the snow!
- Wanna help? - I didn't mind.
Uh, guys, they're soulmates.
- Wouldn't they be kissing? - No.
Yes.
I don't mind.
We have to do something special for her.
Something to make this a Christmas to remember.
Yeah, I know.
Look.
Look, isn't he cute?
Jacob, look.
Oh wow, it's a sign.
Angela.
Do you think it might be possible to give the puppy to our daughter?
It looks like they've already made friends!
I got the puppy.
There was not a transgression, there was a concession.
Oh, he's got a lot of friends.
Yes.
Uh-oh, incoming.
You must get tired of this.
I don't think he's coming for me.
Ladies.
This is my friend, Aldo.
Claudia, Rose.
Hello, how are you liking the beautiful Dolomites?
Mario, what happened to the staunch ambassador?
I'm off duty.
- Very much off duty. - We see.
Lawrence, I love you.
And I mean that any way you want.
Chew, you wouldn't want to choke.
I promise, I promise, I promise.
When I say this morning, open--
- Gams? - ...just like that.
Is everything okay?
Yes, honey, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Okay.
What is "gams"?
Oh, it means I'm a grandmother.
What did he say?
He said, you work with what you've got.
- My friend is ignorant. - Yeah.
He doesn't understand that in America, gams is legs.
It means you have beautiful legs.
Well, that is my cue.
Goodnight, gentlemen, arrivederci.
Well, goodnight.
Mom doing okay?
She's doing more than okay.
- Who are you? - Who are you?
Your nose is bleeding, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.
I just won the fight.
- What fight? - The fight for who gets to
knock on the door of the beautiful woman.
Which beautiful woman?
Gams.
The one with the legs.
Do you know her room?
This is her room and I'm her husband.
Okay, okay.
I'm sorry, sir, I do apologize.
Grandpa.
- Who? - Grandpa, Grandpa.
I've got it.
We're going hot air ballooning today.
They've got spaces.
Oh, it's perfect.
Both go up hating each other
and come down loving each other.
Can I use your credit card?
- Please? - What do you want to do?
Yeah, we give her the credit card.
Ta-da!
Oh!
Why are they taking people's blood pressure?
Which way do you think we're going?
I'm gonna guess up.
Woo, woo, woo!
Shall we go to the top?
Oh, yes, please. Yes.
I was expecting this to be steeper.
Why?
Well, doesn't bear thinking about,
but this is where Lawrence lost his wife.
They were hiking this exact trail when she collapsed.
- Oh, no. - Yeah, stroke.
Poor thing.
He tried to carry her all the way down.
Can you imagine?
He still thinks he could have saved her.
She was the love of his life.
We just never know, do we?
We just have to live our lives to the fullest.
Any underlying conditions I should know about?
Besides the wandering eye?
It's getting windy.
It looks like beautiful day for ballooning.
Quickly, all my passengers please.
Everyone else follow the balloon with your cars.
Hey, I don't think I really should be doing this, so.
Jacob, talk with your legs.
Come on.
Climb in the basket.
Get in there, you big fat chicken.
Okay, there are a couple of things
that I need to tell you, but they're very important.
So please pay attention.
There are two kind of landings.
There is the soft landing and the hard landing.
For hard landings, you will need to assume
the landing position,
which is like this, down with your head between your arms
and pray.
Okay, that's it.
Let's go, off we go!
Woo!
Dad! Think of this as a breakthrough, Dad!
Claire! Claire!
- Bye! - Claire, I love you!
Use your new camera!
And relax, everything's fine!
- 2,000 meter! - I'm gonna be sick.
Hey, take your picture?
You and your wife?
- Oh, no, no, it's okay. - No, it's all right.
Come on, I take a picture. Closer.
- Kiss! - Yeah, kiss.
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.
Come on, come on, come on, kiss.
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss,
kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.
Let's make another one, we need a real kiss.
- No! - Give me the camera.
Give me the camera. Give me the camera.
Whoops.
Oh, Jacob, Jacob.
Jacob, do your breathing.
Oh.
Claudia, I know you made an agreement with this guy,
but I think you need to find him and tell him how you feel.
I don't know.
Sometimes I think I was just wrong.
I had come here to mourn the death of my husband,
but then I experienced what I experienced that one night,
that incredible connection.
Like the most high form of intimacy.
Like, how do you say spring?
Like a spring coming from the soul,
from very deep, spirituale.
Am I crazy?
What is it?
Oh, it's just,
I've never had that feeling.
Not once, not ever.
Okay, everybody listen carefully.
This tailwind is much stronger than I expected.
We must come down quickly.
Harder than usual.
One very important thing, guys.
When the basket hits the ground, nobody jump.
Nobody jump.
Because if one person jumps out, the balloon will lift.
And we do not have enough gas to get over the three peaks,
we will hit them.
Don't worry, guys.
This is how balloons have been landing for over 200 years.
Basket will lift and drop perfectly normal,
perfectly safe.
Assume your landing positions.
- Everybody get down! - Okay, okay.
We are doing great guys.
Great teamwork.
Everything's under control.
No thank you.
No thank you, no thank you.
Ow!
Jacob!
Abbie!
Sorry, Abbie.
I'm sorry.
Jacob!
Okay, okay.
We have no choice.
We're rising, guys, we're rising.
I told him, I told him that was the only thing
that he didn't, and he did it.
- He did it. - Jacob!
I feel sorry for both of them, but poor Jacob.
He felt completely dispensable ever since he got laid off.
- You mean he's depressed? - Yeah.
I mean, he's not on meds, but yeah, he's depressed.
Watch out!
Abbie, where's Jacob?
- He jumped! - He jumped.
Oh God, I knew it.
He jumped!
You just had to jump, huh?
You could have gotten yourself killed.
You could have gotten us all killed!
Claire, will you stop with the filming?
For God's sake, this isn't your summer project,
this is real life.
Sweetie. Claire.
Abbie hates me.
I don't think Abbie hates you.
I just think it's relationship fatigue.
Are you listening to me?
I have to read Claire a bedtime story.
No, no, no, you're in no shape.
I'll take care of it.
- You're so cute. - I'm sorry.
It's fine.
I'm not a vegetarian in Italy.
No, I'm sorry I snapped at you today.
You're so cute, you still need a name.
Claire, do you wish I was home more?
No, Mom, you must never stop working.
It's a right, not a privilege.
Still, I'm gone so much.
No.
It's that you're not with us
even when you're with us.
Puppy, where are you going?
Come over here. Yeah.
And they all lived happily ever after.
Easy for them to say.
What do you mean?
Well, in those days,
they only lived until they were like 25.
People change.
They stop loving each other.
Happily ever after is unrealistic.
It's not like that anymore, is it, Gams?
Well, I wouldn't say...
No, it doesn't seem to be, does it?
How about this?
And they all lived for a set period of time
in a state of mutually destructive contentment.
Until?
Until they decided to part
and start a new chapter in their life.
But amicably, very mutually amicably.
Is that better?
No, puppy.
- Not the elf. - Oh.
Standing by with needle and thread.
Abbie, I'm your best champion.
I tell everyone, you're tough and bold.
No, Phil, you tell everyone
I'm surprisingly tough and bold.
You might as well say she's a good little lawyer,
which I bet you've said.
Abbie, come on, we're great together.
Not great enough to make me partner.
You know what?
I think I'm finished here.
You're not making any sense.
These clients won't wait.
Do you know what day it is?
All I know is tomorrow is Christmas Eve
and the fish stinks from the head, Phil.
You stink.
As the Italian say, puzzi.
Now you're just being hysterical.
No, that's it, I quit.
- No! No-- - Goodbye.
- Abbie. You need-- - Arrivederci, Phil.
Woo!
Run of the mill.
Mark.
It's Christmas Eve.
Do you know what Christmas Eve means?
The procession of the panettone.
And you know who leads the procession of the panettone?
- Santa. - Oh.
- Come on. - I can't.
Oh, yes, you can.
Come on.
Enough is enough with this.
Come on, you said yourself it was a one night stand.
Come on, it didn't mean anything.
Let's go.
Lawrence, I'm sorry, I lied.
I said it meant nothing. It...
meant everything.
I just haven't gotten over her.
Oh, the gifts just keep on coming.
Look, Mark, it's gonna be fine.
Claudia's not part of the family.
This is just for the family.
It's just between us.
It's gonna be okay.
Come on, do it for Claire.
Come on, come on, for Claire.
Come on, let's go.
Look what I found, the pewter platter for the panettone.
Look who I found hiding in the lobby.
Pretending not to be family.
Oh! Welcome, welcome.
Hey, I'm so glad you came.
It's gonna be fun.
Do you know Santa's in the doghouse?
No, but if you hum a few bars, I'll pick it up.
♪ Do you know that Santa's in the doghouse ♪
♪ Someone put the puppy in the towel ♪
♪ Do you know that Santa's in the doghouse ♪
On this eve of Christmas, we ready ourselves
- with kith. - And kin!
Wait, we forgot the puppy.
He's kin, he has to be here.
Otto, get the dog.
I'm on it, like a car bonnet.
- Mirth! - And merriment!
Home baked bounty
full of raisins and candy, fruits and--
...and festive frosting.
Frosting?
Sacrilege!
But we're gonna have it anyway.
Santa.
Santa, come forth.
Not fifth!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Ho, ho, ho!
Bring me my platter of pewter so we can process!
Who shall the trusted...
What the flying ferrets?
Claudia, you do it.
- You're kin now. - Yeah.
- Go for it. - Oh, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mm-hm.
Body parts.
- Not good. - Hurry it up, Santa.
Who shall be the bear?
- Who shall-- - Just say it, Santa.
- Where's Otto? - Where's Otto with the puppy?
Who shall...
Angela.
- Who shall... - Oh yeah, go ahead.
Whenever you're ready.
- I'm sorry. - Hurry it up, Santa.
I can't do it.
- Say the part-- - No, I can't, I can't.
I can't do this anymore.
Claudia, it's me, Mark.
- Oh, Mark. - Claudia?
Poppops?
The puppy is missing!
You've lost the puppy.
I didn't even give him a name.
Abbie!
I'm here and I've driven 98.3 miles just to--
Phil?
- Jacob! - Abbie.
I was blaming Jacob.
Why are you always so quick to judge him?
I should probably say I'm sorry, but I'm not.
Jacob, wait!
I'm going with our granddaughter to find her puppy.
Are you coming or are you staying?
Come on.
Does Poppops have a thing for Claudia?
- A thing? - I'm going to find out.
You might as well tell me.
Claire.
Martina. Go back to the hotel with Martina
and have a nice hot chocolate, put your jams on.
I promise you, we will find the puppy.
You didn't lose me my job, I'd already quit.
Besides, you did what every single member
of that firm's been wanting to do for the last five years.
Hey, you never told me why you jumped.
You abandoned ship.
What were you thinking?
I wasn't thinking, okay? I panicked.
Haven't you panicked before? I didn't think I had a choice.
Abbie, I don't have the bandwidth for this.
For Mom and Dad.
Not for any of it.
Jacob, wait.
Hey, your mother and I bought this hotel
because it could be a place
where families could get together.
The kids could run and play and have a good time
and breathe fresh air.
Now what?
I mean, now you and Jacob, and Mark and Rose.
I mean, what's the point?
What am I, what?
Claire says I'm emotionally bankrupt.
I think she's right.
I mean, I'm done.
I feel up to here.
I think I'm gonna sell this place
and I'm gonna, I'm giving up.
That's it.
Dad.
Claire's back at the hotel.
Mark, I have to ask you something.
What exactly do you like about being with me?
Isn't it obvious?
I mean, you're my best friend.
You're intelligent, you're so well read,
you're a great company, and you give me good advice,
and take care of me.
You're a wonderful mother.
What's not to like?
It sounds more like a roommate than a soulmate.
It's getting late, tomorrow's Christmas.
I'm going back.
Rose, Rose.
Look, I was just trying to do the right thing.
No more dirty laundry, not tonight.
Dad, we're not doing this.
We're not making this only about me and Jacob,
or Rose and Mark.
Because this is about you and Mom.
You're giving up because you've never forgiven yourself
for what happened to Mom.
Dad, I spoke to the doctors.
Even if you had been able to carry her
all the way down the mountain,
nobody could have saved her.
You're still carrying her.
You have to let her go.
What's going on?
What Angela wants, Angela gets.
Go, go.
Look at that.
Dad, open your eyes.
Look around you.
The whole village is here.
Who do you think they're doing it for?
They're doing it for you.
They're doing it for us.
Because in their eyes, we're all family.
What more do you need, a sign from God?
Lawrence!
Lawrence, I've got this!
What's the name of the dog?
I dunno.
We forgot to name him.
Run of the mill.
Attention all rescue party...
The name of the dog is "Run of the Mill."
- Run of? - Run of the Mill.
- Run of the Mill.
- Okay, okay. - Run of the Mill.
Run of the Mill.
♪ Run of the Mill ♪
Abbie.
Go to him.
Fight for him.
Fight with him.
Get lost in the woods together.
Whatever it takes.
Just do something.
Don't do nothing.
Don't ever, ever do nothing.
Mm.
Yeah.
How else you gonna spend Christmas Eve?
Ow.
What are you doing?
I'm pelting you with pine cones.
What does it look like I'm doing?
- I'm picking a fight. - What?
- Don't you wanna fight back? - No, I don't want to fight back.
Ow! There's my baseball player.
- I'm sorry. - No, you're not.
You're mad at me.
- Just like I'm mad at you. - Okay, okay.
But can we stop with the balloon cross examination?
No, we're just getting started.
Balloon tragedy, the inquest.
Everybody died except the German.
- He's on the stand. - All right.
It was clear from the start
that this couple hated each other.
You're not allowed to do an accent, Abbie.
Okay?
It was from the start clear.
This couple each other hated
notably because they to kiss refused.
What is more, she the camera away threw.
Claire is back at the hotel with Martina.
I'm gonna send a message.
Martina, please read Claire a bedtime...
Phone died.
I know why you jumped.
It was the right decision.
You were of sound mind.
You jumped because if one of us had to survive,
it should be you.
You're the better parent.
Damn, you're a good defense lawyer.
And I have absolutely no idea where we are.
Do you think we should just wait until it gets light out?
It's only a couple of hours.
Hey, you guys know ?
Jacob, you are not a loser.
You're just a little lost.
What is that singing?
That's beautiful.
It's a song about the night sky,
likens the stars to a kind of love.
Oh, so it's a love song.
Well, yeah. A love that endures is in the sense
that like when a star disappears,
it's only saying goodbye.
It'll inevitably return.
It's kind of cheesy.
Yeah.
Manipulative.
Effective though.
Abbie, do you think...
Jacob, talk with your legs.
Quick, quick, where's the light?
It's the puppy.
I mean...
Amazing.
What do you think she was trying to tell us?
- That life's a hoot. - Okay.
That it's late and that we should probably get back.
Yeah.
Sorry I couldn't help.
We looked everywhere.
It's...
It's for my daughter, Lucy.
Normally we don't get to spend Christmas together.
Oh, Claudia.
Rose, I'm absolutely mortified.
You must hate me.
I've been up all night
trying to imagine what you're feeling.
You know, it's strange, but oddly, I feel relieved.
- Be well, Claudia. - Be well, Rose.
Open it, Mr. Lawrence.
Sure.
Let's see what we got in here.
Ooh, tissue paper.
What is that?
What's that?
It's not quite finished yet.
Still missing a wide shot of the hotel.
- With snow. - And mist.
It's a promo for your website.
Oh!
The whole thing was Claire's idea.
Oh, look, look, look.
Come to the Hotel Des Dolomites
for a truly family Christmas.
I reversed the footage, he was taking the wreaths down.
Yeah.
Very nice.
Wait, you're filming.
Right here by the frozen lake...
- In the snow! - Beautiful.
Cute.
Cute puppy.
- It's too much. - Claire bear.
It's too much.
Anyway, I was never doing Christmas for me.
I was doing it for you.
Claire.
No, just leave me alone.
Honey.
Claire, I have something to say
and I think you'll like it.
I decided that I like winter more than summer.
And I'm not just talking about this year.
Here's the thing, Walter.
I'm still workshopping happily ever after.
And anyway, I'm only 10.
Hey.
Hi, honey.
You know what I love about you, Claire?
You never give up.
You don't give up on your friends, not your family.
You never give up on me.
You know what a catalyst is?
- No. - You don't?
Oh, there is a God.
A catalyst is somebody that brings people together.
You're love in action.
That's a great gift.
We're gonna have a great Christmas and we need you there.
We can't do it without everybody.
You take your time and you come down when you're ready.
Okay?
Love you.
Grandpa.
Please start without me.
She said to start without her.
Well, I think it's time for my poem,
my meaning of Christmas poem.
What say you all?
I was gonna give you
"But give me holly bold and jolly."
But all things being what they are this year,
I thought I would go in a different direction.
One of my favorite poems, poem by DH Lawrence.
"Know Deeply, Know Thyself More Deeply."
Go deeper than love...
...for the soul has greater depths,
love is like the grass, but the heart is deep wild rock
molten, yet dense and permanent.
Go down into your deep old heart, woman,
and lose sight of yourself.
Lose sight of me,
the me whom you turbulently loved.
Let us lose sight of ourselves,
and break the mirrors.
For the fierce curve of life is moving again...
- Puppy! - ...to the depths
out of sight, in the deep dark living heart.
But say, in the dark wild metal of your heart
is there a gem, that came into being between us?
Is there a sapphire of mutual trust, a blue spark?
Lost and found bridge.
Is there a ruby of fused being, mine and yours,
an inward glint?
For if there is not,
o, then leave me,
go away.
For I cannot be bullied back into the appearances of love,
any more than August can be bullied to look like March
or December.
It is okay, Mark.
It's really okay.
You and I both know this has nothing to do with Claudia.
Go find Claire.
She's not in her room.
Oh, no.
I did it, soap, water, and air, guys.
It's biodegradable.
I did it, I finally did it.
Soap water and air.
I did it.
Hey.
- Claire. - Oh my God, Claire!
She found him.
- I found Run of the Mill. - Claire!
- You got the puppy. - I found Run of the Mill.
You're staying together.
- Yes. - Yeah.
And you're not.
I'm going to find out.
You might as well tell me.
No, my darling.
But we're all gonna be here together at Christmas, right?
- Absolutely. - Yes.
Absolutely.
As long as there's love.
There's Christmas.
Come on, Runny.
