Tanza!
Why you never take your shoes off?
What for...
Hey guys!
Eat fast and get up.
Today...
I...
I was...
scared.
Tanza!
Tonight, we'll bust this damned village.
These bastards made us become refugees by kicking us out of our lands.
This country is ours as well,
even if we don't belong to the same origins.
- You got a light? - No.
You don't talk much.
When did you join this group? One year and a half ago.
The longest, with the boss.
Were you just the two of you at the beginning?
There were eleven when I arrived.
How about the others?
The ones who die? We replace them with guys like you.
There, it's set for tomorrow morning,
when the two big buildings are full of people.
Doma, you are in charge of the grey building.
Tanza, you'll hide this one in the yellow building.
Let's go!
Get inside! No laughing!
Oops!
For fuck's sake! Do you want to give me another ulcer?
Wasn't it great to be welcomed with music when you arrived?
Yes.
I can arrange you two months in solitary for that bum note!
- Is that what you want? - No.
- Good afternoon, children! - Good afternoon, Mr. Warden.
Welcome to your new home.
Uroš Petrovic arrived here three years ago with 500 convictions.
- Tomorrow he'll be granted freedom. - 550, Warden Sir.
- It's not important, son. - Yes, it is.
What are you going to do as of tomorrow?
- How will you earn a living? - I'll cut people's hair...
Bravo, son! Great!
And you, Tibor, what will you do when you get out?
I'll carry on stealing, Warden.
He hasn't been here long, he hasn't learnt to lie yet!
As soon as I get out, Mare's taking me to Silvana's.
Merima's meeting me at the gates.
Damn, she'll die waiting for tomorrow!
Merima? The one whose nose
...Iooks like a gun handle?
Go ahead and laugh!
When Silvana comes she will kick your ass kung fu style.
You're flying straight into another prison.
Your two large bulging eyes fly like...
What about you, you poor thing? Another month?
A month and a half. And then, straight to the paint shop.
I'll say:
"Mister, here's 100 dinars for some glue.
My sneakers are falling apart, I got no money to buy another pair."
When that stuff kicks in, all the Merimas, Silvanas and Sekas
will be buzzing like bees around my head!
It's like you're sorry to be leaving.
Me, sorry?
You must be joking!
If you're good in here, you can achieve what you want
and as much as you want, and you can even stop when you want.
Out there you have to play by the rules,
you can't stop when you want, even if you're a good guy.
Baldy! Baldy!
Goaaaaal!
What d'you expect, you moron?
Us to play while you sleep?
I'm gonna kill you!
Leave him! He's not worth it!
Don't you worry. There won't be a scar.
Not until your dad whacks your head with a bottle again!
Come on! I'll straighten up those teeth and legs of yours!
I'll smash your head in, karate style!
Cut it out! Get back on the pitch!
What's up? Are you high? Where did you get the glue from?
Glue? I don't mess with my head!
We're out of here tomorrow! No more of these idiots,
no more "Do this! Do that!" And guards having a go!
Freedom, man!
At least there are guards here!
Out there, no one protects you from certain bastards!
Where to, dear?
Stala?
80.
When will you be back, Uroš?
Never, Warden Sir.
Who's going to believe that?
My uncle has a barbershop in Montenegro.
God, you lie about everything!
How do you know I'm lying?
Ever since I caught myself lying, I don't believe anyone.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome!
The Milorad Glušica Gluša House of Correction
is proud to bid farewell to its sixth generation of inmates
as they are granted freedom...
All in the presence of our guests from the Ministry of Justice.
Jesus, there's nothing but apathy
both in prison and out there.
You can feel the lack of energy!
Energy!
Stop!
This is for you.
Warden!
Here, Warden! A gift for you and your family.
A tiger for a crouching tiger.
A globe for your office.
For your lady... chocolates.
And we've got a twelve-speed bike
knowing how much you like to keep fit.
State-of-the-art technology.
Oh, my darling!
I always say, what goes around, comes around!
I hope you've taught my gypsy to stop stealing.
I have.
They even steal when there's no need!
I've been telling him my whole life "Don't do it, son."
God sees everything! Kids today!
Why are you crying?
I'm happy to see you.
Here's some money.
Run to my brother Boža's place in Montenegro.
What's up with you, woman?
Why are you blubbering? The kid is free!
- Thank you for looking after my Uroš. - He's such a good boy!
So, have I put you on the straight and narrow?
Yes, Warden Sir.
Now get out of here and I'd better not see you again!
Well said, Warden!
Son!
Now listen, I'm sending you to Uncle Gorilla's place in Sombor.
You know he's a generous man.
You can start doing a bit of work.
I'd like to go to Uncle Boža's place, to do some hairdressing...
Hairdressing, my ass!
We haven't got enough money to eat!
I'm completely broke!
My liver operation is going to cost a fortune!
Your siblings don't know how to steal!
Is it so hard?
Well, no.
Well, is it so hard?
No.
See that Mercedes?
There's 100 euros inside!
Stop beating my kids, you idiot!
Get lost!
- Why hit them? - Stay out of it!
They bring the goods, you beat them and get drunk!
Get lost I said!
Piss off, woman!
Asshole! Bully! Drunk!
Why do you hit my kids? Alcoholic! Lunatic!
Bloody hell! Get lost!
Madman!
Alcoholic! Lunatic!
Hey, stop!
Stop him!
What did I say?
Here, when you're good, you can do what you want,
if you want and as much as you want
and you can stop when you want.
But out there you can't just stop when you want.
No, siree!
No one can kill 50, they shot 50 nine times.
I heard it was ten.
So what? The game's been shot, too.
You watch, Game's gonna whack 50.
Game was only shot five times.
They even shot 50Cent in his face,
I heard he spit the bullet back out with his mouth.
Well, Game was shot point blank in his damn chest!
Without a bulletproof vest, too.
I don't care what you say, 50Cent can't be stopped.
I bet you 5 dollars, if they would stand here,
packing nine, shoot at point blank,
I bet 50 would go down first.
That's stupid!
No, you stupid, Blanca!
I'm not the one got left back, you did. La Queeta.
She played you.
I didn't get left back.
Why you lying?
They just put me in the wrong grade.
I was too old, and now I'm doing it over again.
Right.
Yeah, OK, whatever...
But I bet if B.I. G and Tupac came back from the dead.
They would say to 50Cent and the Game.
Why you nigga so stupid?
You know what? I'll see you later, Blanca.
Alright, bye La Queeta.
Bye, Cathy, Patrish, Sanika.
Why do you keep buying from Harry, his stuff is always so dirty.
Leave Harry alone, he gives us credit.
Can't get mad at credit.
He's been cutting it up so bad, you can bake a cake with this shit.
Shut the fuck up, alright?
You shut the fuck up!
Harry's stuff is OK, you don't know how to bake a fucking cake.
What does that has to do with anything? Let me have a taste of that stuff.
Why do you want a taste?
'Cause the HIV meds getting in the way of my Methadone.
I keep telling you that Methadone isn't good to your body, girl.
Whatever.
You're going wear that shit for the rest of your life, you know?
You know what I mean? Tighter, it has to be tighter, tighter...
HIV, AIDS, all that is government conspiracy anyway,
All intelligence want you to take poison,
Yeah, what did he tell me? I got AIDS?
I'm a soldier, I'm not going out like that.
Yeah, that's good.
Ma?
Blanca! What are you doing? You're supposed to knock first!
You don't have to slam the door in my face!
You're supposed to knock! Knock on the door first!
Calm down, Blanca, go back to your room, OK?
I said 'excuse me'!
Shit!
She won't listen.
Sorry, just calm down.
I go get her, did you spill it?
Make sure you leave me something, baby, OK?
How are you? How's school today?
From the nurse again?
I don't feel so good.
What happened?
After lunch I spent the whole afternoon at the nurse's office.
The school tired to call, but since the phone's cut off again.
Hey. You got a roof over you head, right?
That's all we got, we ain't got nothing else.
All the other kids got iPod, PDA cells, PSP,
I don't even have a cheap cell phone.
Dad, can't you get a job or something?
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about, eh?
I'm talking about you.
I was in desert storm.
I get my disabilities 'cause I paid my dues.
I fought for my country.
Dad, you're like a skip CD.
You got a little fresh mouth, I'm gonna tell you right now...
Alright, enough!
You take your vitamins today?
No.
You better take them now, Sammy, go get me her vitamins.
No, she don't need that stuff.
Sammy, just get me the damn vitamins!
Fucking vitamins!
Baby, you know better than that!
You gotta take care of yourself.
Sorry.
No, that's not good enough.
I forgot.
Sammy!
I'm coming!
Screaming my name so much.
Sammy!
I'm right here, there.
Here.
I'll take it later.
No, come on, you gotta stay on schedule with that stuff, take it now.
She says she don't want to take it.
Did you get her prescription filled like I asked you to?
No, I told you she don't need that.
Yeah, I hate taking these big old vitamins,
why do I always have to take them?
Because there is something wrong with our blood,
And we have to keep our blood clean, you know that.
Come on, don't you want to be like Mommy?
What's so funny?
No...
Nothing.
I hate this stuff, tastes nasty.
I know.
Sammy, she's all out.
Could you do this one thing for you daughter, please?
Stop with that daughter shit,
I know she's my daughter, throwing it in my face, man.
Sammy, wait...
No, I'm gone, I'll be right back,
Take your vitamins, here.
No, wait a minute, Sammy, wait!
Wait, baby...
Baby, leave the bag, baby, please.
What? What?
Here.
Don't snap it all, save me some.
OK...
Alright, get it.
Sweetie?
Did you take them all?
Yeah? That's my girl.
Come on, come and lie down.
Alright.
I'll fix you some food.
Mac and cheese?
Sneakers?
- I love you - I love you, too.
- I'll be right back - No, stay with me...
No... I just gotta do something, I'll be right back.
Sammy, where're you going?
When are you going to pay up your bill?
I will, promise, in a couple days.
You said that a couple of days ago.
I know, my daughter's sick right now.
I'll be right back, I can't talk right now,
I can't even think straight.
Who's asking you to talk? And who's asking you to think straight?
Look out for me, I'll be right back!
Yeah, I'll be looking out for you, just pay your damn bill!
How you're doing?
I'm OK, thank you.
You've been waiting here a long time?
I've waited here for ten long minutes.
This elevator never works.
Need any help with your cart?
No, thank you, I just live on the 2nd floor.
You got any problems with them crack heads, you let me know, ok?
I don't like junkies.
Yeah, I don't like junkies, either.
You be safe.
You too.
Alright, adios.
Ruthie? Mommy? You OK?
Mommy?
Blanca, open the window, please, open the window.
Come on, holy shit!
Damn it!
Mommy, are you OK?
Your mom is OK. Go to your room now, OK, I got it.
Your mom is OK, just go to your room! I'm sorry, go to your room.
Mommy, come on, what are you doing?
Sorry, I'm sorry.
Get up...
No, no, it's alright, I got that.
Go talk to Blanca.
OK, wait... let me fix my...
You're OK, go talk to her.
OK, baby... Here comes Mommy.
Mommy's here, she's OK, I'll take care of all this.
That damn woman!
Shit, I told the bitch she couldn't cook.
Oh, shit.
What are you doing? OK.
It's OK, sorry about that.
She just burnt the Mac and cheese.
Sammy!
Son of a bitch!
Can you get her a happy mean?
What?
Can you get her a happy mean?
A happy mean?
Yeah.
OK, a happy mean, what do you want?
With cheese?
What? A happy meal with cheese.
Fine, what do you want?
A tickle snickle.
A what?
A snickers.
Alright, two happy meals, two snickers.
I have to spend money now, just 'cause you can't cook!
OK, I'll be right back.
Happy meal with fucking cheese, god damn it!
- I love you so much, baby. - I love you, too.
Look at her over there, thinking she's all cute.
'Cause she's light skinned, let's go bother her.
Yeah...
Let's go, we have to start something.
What you wanna do Queeta?
I got me, you better have yours.
She's Queeta, what else?
Hello, Queeta.
Sorry.
You gonna let her do that to you, Blanca?
Yeah, that's crimely!
Blanca, you better slap her.
La Queeta, why do you always wanna blow off the spot?
Fight!
What do you wanna do now, Blanca?
You ain't gonna do nothing, you was not gonna do nothing.
Who's beat now?
What you gonna do?
Yo, her parents got the AIDS,
Don't get no blood on me, your parents got the AIDS.
You're one of the AIDS babies.
Shut up, you stupid two faced bitch!
You don't know nothing!
Bitch!
You got AIDS...
That's OK, Blanca, it's only a little cut.
And not stitches.
OK.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Please, this is a very sensitive issue.
I wanna speak to her parents, get them on the phone right now!
Please clam down.
Calm down?
You have a kid who has AIDS in this school, and you want me to calm down?
You don't know that she has AIDS.
What if she sneezes on somebody? Or gets her sweat on somebody?
That's absurd, you can't...
What do you know?
You obvious know something I don't.
This is a very sensitive issue.
You can't have a kid like that in school without letting the parents know.
I assure you, if there is anything wrong, if there is any danger,
The parents would be the first to know.
You got to quarantine her or something.
I am not saying that she is infected, as a matter of fact...
I am not at liberty to talk about anything concerning a student.
Then I'll ask her myself.
What's your problem?
You sick or something?
You got something to tell?
Will you please stop?
Look at me when I'm talking to you!
I don't know what kind of broken home you come from...
- Stop it! - But I'm not your mama...
- You have to get out of here! - This is enough!
You need to have to common decency to answer me when I ask you a question.
You do not have the right to speak to Blanca like that!
Ma!
Shut up!
Get back to class, La Queeta!
Blanca, honey, you go back to class, too.
And where do you think you're going?
Leave her alone.
You have done enough already, my god!
Hey, Blanca...
How do you supposed to get a boyfriend now?
Who's crazy enough to kiss someone with the AIDS?
You're not coming to the school no more, right?
Yes, she's coming, but she's going to be in one of those plastic bubbles.
How did you get that anyway? Are you gay or something?
You see her mother and father?
They look like those zombies from Michael Jackson's Thriller.
Her Mama's a crack head junkie.
Her Daddy's too.
Is she coming back to school? Then I'm going to a different school
One where they don't have those nasty diseases.
Why don't you girls go home?
- Go on. - Stupido.
Like I said...
You OK?
I'm OK, thanks.
You go home now, OK?
I see you later, you come back with your father, I give you some ice cream.
OK.
'Don't give HIV a chance.'
I'm just saying that if you take that medication with us...
That's all you keep saying...
This medication, that's all you keep talking about, you don't listen to me,
I don't believe in medication.
Why?
'Cause it's bullshit! It's bullshit, baby.
You're killing Blanca with that medication, you're destroying yourself.
Look at you, you used to be beautiful, now look at you!
It's not because of this medication, I'm on methadone, too.
The same thing, the same people!
The same people give you the methadone give you the medication!
It's all bullshit!
I didn't come back from Iraq, to die from some fucking medication.
Oh, my god, I'm so tired of this Iraq thing with you!
You are just like us, Sammy.
You got AIDS, and you got HIV
And hepatitis B and C, so what are you gonna talk?
You don't even wanna admit that you got the same things as us.
You don't even wanna admit that you gave me AIDS.
Fuck you! Don't put that on me!
Who else?
Don't you put that on me, you could've gave me the virus.
I was virgin when I met you, I didn't even do drugs before I met you.
Come on, virgin?
You don't think I heard about you when I went away?
You don't think I hear things?
When you went away, I wasn't with anybody else.
You're the one who came back and fucked the entire project!
Because fucking you is like fucking the medicine cabinet, that's why!
Fucking me is like fucking a medicine cabinet?
Yes! Yes, it is, now you know, yes it is.
Maybe you shouldn't have infected me!
You gave it to me, and I gave it to our daughter.
What the funk?
Blanca?
Baby, what are you doing there?
How long have you been there?
Blanca, what happened?
What happened to your head?
I was in a fight.
With whom?
I'm gonna die.
What?
What are you talking about?
Did the nurse tell you that?
Everything everybody said about you are true.
You're junkies.
No, no.
Baby, you don't understand. Listen...
You don't understand.
Everybody's been teasing me that I'm an AIDS baby.
I got beat up at school today.
Don't touch me!
It's OK, alright?
You're not gonna die, OK? Come here...
You're gonna listen to Mommy, take your medication.
OK?
What's the point?
My life is over.
No, don't say that.
It's not, baby, OK? Look at me.
Baby, please.
Baby, I love you.
I'm sorry.
Mommy's sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
I don't wanna die!
It's OK.
You're not gonna die.
You hear me? You're not gonna die.
You understand me? You're not gonna die, baby.
It's gonna be alright.
You're not gonna die.
I'm gonna take care of you, the whole family.
I see you guys later?
OK.
OK, sweetie.
I love you I love you. Too.
Hey, come on in.
There's a seat for you right there.
Did you parents bring you?
Yes.
You're very lucky, that pretty rare for kids here in your situation
to have both parents, let's introduce ourselves, I'm Jim.
I'm a counsel here at H.O. T; health organization for teens.
No one has to speak if they don't feel like it,
But we want to welcome our new member, who is...
I'm Mike.
I'm 19,
I have been coming here for 2 years now,
It's been pretty helpful.
I don't usually come out and talk about what I have,
but we're all pretty comfortable here.
It took me a couple session to talk about stuff.
I was a homeless teenager a couple years ago.
I was living on the street, I would stay at this guy's house.
He was a nice guy,
But he didn't tell me that he was HIV positive.
I name is Lodeth, I've been coming here for about 3 years.
I'm 14 years old.
My uncle sexually molested me when I was very young.
He had AIDS.
He dead now.
Dr. Jim is always telling me
That it's not a death sentence.
I hate taking my meds, but I do it.
Hi, my name is Tyrone, I'm 17 years old.
I lost both of my parents from AIDS, HIV.
I lost my mom when I was 7.
And I lost my dad when I was 9.
It's been really rough for me,
Not having my parents, not having my friends,
Basically, you can say I don't have anybody.
Some people will say because my parents had it, and I had it.
But that's not true.
I like coming here.
This support group is like...
Sort of like family.
My name is Blanca.
Look what I found!
You're in my way!
Look! I told you Senna always wins!
He won, but you didn't!
You found nothing?
Yes, I did! Watch this...
One, two...
Come on!
You gonna buy some cool sneakers selling cans?
A gold chain, selling cans?
He'll buy what he wants!
You know what these cost?
Yeah.
Go on, Bilu.
I was getting worried, Joao.
Bilu!
Where I go it's four reais a kilo.
Where are we going?
Know where it is, Joao?
I'm not taking any kids there!
Bilu, you stay here.
Go ahead Joao, but don't forget the bricks!
Don't worry, I'll bring a whole bunch!
Four kilos of cans...
16 reais!
30 kilos of cardboard.
That's 6 reais,
there's more.
Found copper, huh?
Yeah.
30 kilos of copper.
How much, Tatu?
240reais.
That's 26200.
Cans, 3 kilos.
12 reais.
Mr. Paulo, do you have any carts to rent?
No. I loan them. But they're all gone.
What about those over there?
They're all taken.
Next time come earlier.
Earlier?
Earlier. Next!
Hey kid. Take my cart... 5 reais.
Has it got a motor?
No motor... just a heart!
What's that?
It's a Ferrari, and it's mine!
1 to 0 for Sao Paulo! Hop on.
Sao Paulino! Take good care of the girl!
