"The symptoms include a cold sweat,
nausea, anxiety, hallucinations,

:34:11
severe depression
and personality changes."

:34:15
Yes.
:34:17
In 1817, the French writer Stendhal
was in Florence.

:34:21
He was admiring the works of art
in the church of Santa Croce...

:34:26
when he was overcome
by a powerful emotion.

:34:29
It had happened to others
before him,

:34:32
but he was the first to write
about the phenomenon in his diary.

:34:36
What happened to you in the Uffizi
is known as Stendhal Syndrome.

"My feeling is so profound
that it borders on pity..."

:34:45
"All this speaks clearly to my
soul. If only I could forget it."

:34:51
There was a certain happiness in
the powerful feeling of Stendhal's.

:34:56
Yet, in spite of that...
:34:59
the only thing he wanted to do
was forget it.

- Hi.

:35:23
- Hi.
- Hi.

:35:26
Can I come in?
:35:31
Everything ok? Stupid question.
I brought you something.

:35:37
Videos... Buster Keaton films...
for a laugh.

:35:42
Frozen pizzas.
:35:45
And a bunch of flowers... for you.
:35:50
Marco... I don't want these things.
:35:53
Don't worry,
I'll leave it for you anyway.

:35:58
- Are you eating these?
- Yes.
