[We are in Pesaro, in the Marche region. Vanni Oddera and Henry Scorner get into a Peugeot 208 and drive along country roads.]

Vanni: Tell me three good things about yourself.

[00:13]

Henry: Okay—sarcasm, irony, and… do my hair count?

[00:18]

Vanni: Absolutely.

[00:20]

Vanni: Sports car, elegant, off-road, or city car?

Vanni: Are Enrico Mecozzi and Henry Scorner the same person?

[00:35]

Henry: Enrico Mecozzi, let’s say, existed online until 2018, when I used to keep my hoodie down and hide my hand. When I pulled it up, that’s when Henry Scorner was born.

Vanni: For some people, disability can be a huge source of pain. What would you suggest to help them?

[00:50]

Henry: Definitely not caring about others’ judgment, but most of all asking for help if you need it.

Vanni: Usually you’re the one pulling, but today you’ll have to be pulled. Are you ready?

[01:02]

Henry: I was born ready.
