Are you sad because the holiday's over?
A little.
Why not go back?
Come on.
CUSTOMS
Good morning.
Put the camera down and show her the passport.
Passport.
Crap. Can't find it.
One moment.
I can't find it.
What?
The passport, please.
Sorry, we're looking for it.
Don't worry. We'll find it.
Well?
Tell her I'll find it.
Park over there.
Perfect.
Nothing. It's not here.
Very well.
No passport, no Italia. Stay here.
Mara, please find the passport.
We looked everywhere.
Wanna bet I'll find it?
Come over here.
Bags on the table.
Are you kidding?
Bags on the table.
Here it is! It was under the seat.
Here.
Mara, I got headache enough. I want to go.
I'm sorry.
Have a nice trip.
Thank you.
Can I help you?
What are you hiding from me?
Stop.
Where are you going?
Go back to sleep.
Sleep.
Come on, Mara.
You can go slower. What's your problem?
Knock it off!
Where are we going?
Wait for me here.
How are you?
Are you alive? You hear me?
No shit!
You gotta be kidding me!
What gave you the idea to hide in here?
Mara, help me.
What do you want me to do?
Come on. Look at him.
Show me your tongue.
The tongue.
How the hell did he do it?
I think he's a minor. What do we do now?
He seems to be better.
Shouldn't we notify someone?
Is there somewhere they can help him?
Sure.
They'll put him in a crisis center, and goodbye.
Just give him money and let him go wherever he wants.
We can't just leave him like this.
He needed us to cross the border.
What more could he ask for?
He's leaving.
Where is he going?
If he's leaving, then that's what he wants.
If he managed to get this far, he'll be fine.
Let's go.
I knew it.
Stop! Stop the car!
Give it to me!
Give me my wallet.
I don't understand.
Wallet. You know very well.
No? "Money"? "Police"? Understand "Police"?
You'll go back home.
No police.
Don't fuck with me. Give it to me or I'll get pissed off.
You stole from the wrong person.
Give me my wallet back!
It's here, Mara.
Dammit.
Look, sorry.
Sorry.
So, what's your name?
Your name.
Anis.
Anis?
I'm Anna,
and this is Mara.
Anis, if you're sure you'll find your uncle on your own,
we'll leave you at a station, and you can take the train for Milan, Ok?
You speak a little bit of Italian, right?
A little.
You're from Tunisia?
No, I'm Moroccan.
Went from Tunisia because it's easy.
Some euros and direct.
Some euros?
Did you pay somebody to get you in our car?
In the hotel. When they were loading our bags.
Sons of bitches.
Gave us a nice present.
Not sons of bitches.
Thank you.
I'm Europe.
I'll just buy the ticket and be back in five minutes.
Good luck.
Come, Anis.
Is he gone?
Yes, he's on the train.
Hopefully his life won't be too hard.
Shall we go home?
You knew he was in the car.
Why didn't you tell me?
I don't know.
I guess I just wanted to help him.
What were you afraid of?
You would sooner call the army than let him come with us.
Because you would have brought him home with us.
A boy you don't know, from the street.
And if he'd kill us and run off with our things?
Well, your things, because the house is yours.
I didn't know you either when I brought you to my house.
You coming to bed?
Here she is! Beautiful and strong.
What are you doing here?
Came to greet you.
Liar. Is there a problem?
The usual.
You're late!
They stopped the work in the factory in Romania.
It's costing us a lot of money
and may not even serve a purpose.
Darling, she's just arrived. Let her breathe.
You haven't even said hi to her.
What a mother I am!
How are you?
You lost weight.
Give me a hug.
Did you get a suntan? How was Tunisia?
I should go there too sometime.
Always saying the same thing and never doing anything.
There are always problems here...
What do we do if the factory in Romania stays closed?
Shows us the pictures.
Was it just the two of you?
Yes.
What's this?
The Djem, the Roman amphitheater.
Beautiful!
Mom, you don't want to see them?
Later, later.
I have an appointment regarding the catalogs.
Look at this.
What would you have done?
I think you did well.
When you see someone in trouble, you can't turn your backs on them.
Why not come to dinner next week,
before the baptism of Mr. Giacomino?
Agreed.
Will Mara also come?
Sure, I'll talk to her.
I gave him fifty euros. Do you think it's too little?
Well, certainly not a fortune.
It was what I had in my pocket.
But someone like him can live for a month off of fifty euros.
Of these, a thousand go to France.
Okay.
I gave him my number.
You did what?
You can't solve all the problems of the world.
Mara says the same thing.
But if not all, then at least one.
All right.
You should think of yourself more.
I have to go.
Don't say anything to mother.
Of course not.
I have to get rid of the bike.
Now the exhaust is broken.
Anis couldn't find his uncle.
Looks like he left for Germany.
We're waiting for you to have lunch.
Come here, sit down.
I told him to come.
I went to pick him up at the station. I didn't have time to tell you.
Come on, Mara, sit down with us.
Everything is ready.
I'll get the pasta, and we can eat.
There are associations that may find him a place to stay.
A house with other teens.
But first we have to go to the police
and apply for a residence permit.
Not to the police.
Anis, don't worry.
You need that permit.
You're a minor, so you won't be deported.
You can go to school and study.
Not school.
I came to work.
If I don't work, this trip serves no purpose.
You know?
Your parents, Anis.
You have to send the money to your parents?
That's why you're here?
If you don't want to talk, that's fine.
They're dead.
If you help me to look for work,
I'll pay you for the house, the car, the phone, everything.
I want to be independent, like you.
You speak little Italian, but speak well.
At least you know how to explain what you want.
Eat.
This good.
If you want to watch TV, it's there.
I'll leave your towels in the bathroom. They're blue.
Those will be yours.
Ours are white.
Listen, he has to work,
and I can help him find a job.
Then he can search for his own place.
Give him money and send him away.
Mara, he doesn't have anyone.
I don't believe that his parents have died.
You're making a big mistake.
Want some milk before going to bed?
Why didn't you say he was here?
What are you doing?
Come on.
Please.
I like it, but please not now.
Say it. Say you want me.
Come on, I can't. You know that.
Say it.
Let me sleep.
You never tell me about the important things.
Why?
I didn't want to discuss it.
So I didn't tell you.
I love you, you know?
Are you nuts?
It's a favor that I need. I'm your sister.
That's emotional blackmail.
I'm your safety.
If anything happens, I'll pay.
Anna, you don't even know him.
I know who I can trust.
Anis!
This is the space for customers.
We're the best-supplied store in the area.
Look at this site, but don't come here anymore, okay?
Good morning, Alex.
Good morning.
This is Anis. He'll work with us for a while.
Hi.
He'll help us with cleaning, and explain to him how to operate the supplies.
Sure.
And until he has his papers in order,
make sure he stays inside here.
Okay.
Anis, now you are a part of our team.
Good luck.
Thank you.
When an order arrives, get the material and put it there.
The it gets sorted and stored here
or goes on display.
Today is the day of delivery. This is Michel.
Michel, this is Anis.
Explain to him what to do.
It's fast.
Please.
Be careful, Hercules. Slowly. We need you alive.
Well.
Where are you from?
Morocco.
I'm from Albania. Polican. You know where it is?
No.
It's famous.
It's where they make the Kalashnikov.
Hello, darling.
Did you clean the car? It smells so bad.
They say the factory will close.
Did your mother tell you something?
No.
But don't worry.
Why?
Because I'm here.
I don't want you to do me favors. I don't need it.
And after five years in that shithole, a change wouldn't hurt.
You can quit now if you want.
I make enough for both of us.
No, thanks.
Bye.
Okay, Anis. Good work today.
Go and change clothes. My sister is waiting for you.
Thank you, Mr. Salvio.
Hello, Dad.
How are you?
I brought you some clothes.
There's a garden here.
Do they take you for a walk?
You didn't eat anything.
I admit it doesn't look very tasty.
I have to wash.
Help me get up.
Yes, come here.
No, you're hurting me.
Sorry.
Get off me!
Can you help me, please?
Yes, of course.
What have you done this time, Vittorio?
I can fix it.
Much noise isn't good.
I don't want anything from you. Leave me alone.
You always do what you want, huh?
The muffler was loose. Cleaned a little bit.
Now there's no problem.
You can go quietly.
Quiet. Okay.
Don't touch my stuff.
What happened to you?
Come on, let's go inside.
Come on.
It's best to give it some sewing.
Come on, I have a medical course.
Hello, how have you been?
Well...
He hurt himself.
He fixed my bike, and I fixed his hand.
Now we're even.
Sorry, Anis.
I hope it doesn't hurt.
Salvio told me that you worked very well.
And he's awaiting you tomorrow.
I'll prepare the dinner.
Everything is fine. It's just me.
I just wanted to get the shoes.
All right.
Good night.
Good night. Thank you.
Anis, let's go. We'll be late.
I'm almost ready. I'm coming.
Come on.
Let's go.
Come on, let's get going.
You're soaked.
There are tissues in the glove compartment.
Where are the keys?
Anna, where is your husband?
What husband?
And your sister? No husband?
My sister?
Who?
Mara?
You think we're look similar?
She's not your sister?
No, not my sister,
and I'm not married. Neither she nor I,
though she was.
You don't have a boyfriend?
You're not married?
No. I don't need a man. I'm doing just great.
Children, family? Don't you have?
Any other questions?
Yeah, I...
Not that I don't want,
but it's not as easy as you think.
Understand?
I don't understand. A woman alone is poor,
sad, bad luck.
I don't understand.
You're very pretty. I don't understand.
Mara and I aren't alone.
We're together.
And we have much luck.
Understand better?
What does it mean together?
Well, let's just forget it.
Can I play some music?
Yes, music.
You have no Arabic music?
No, no.
So I make Arabic music.
Where are the other boxes?
They're being sent. Don't worry. I take care of those.
There were 240 boxes, and I took 190.
You can count? Don't worry, Einstein.
You also know how to read? See how it says 190 here?
After Alex is mad with me.
You still don't understand it yet.
Alex has nothing to do with these.
I'm the boss here.
You just have to take boxes from A to B
and from B to A. Okay?
Understood?
Don't worry, Anis, I'll do it.
Remember that tomorrow is the baptism of my nephew?
I'm not going. I changed my mind.
How so?
I want you to meet my mother.
Anna, I see her every day at the factory.
Mara, my whole family goes. You also have to go.
Take the boy too, and we'll be complete.
He can't come with us.
My mother doesn't know about him.
He's doing well so far.
My cousin's son is the same age as him.
I asked him for some clothes.
I was thinking he shouldn't sleep on the couch.
I'll clean up the office. I've wanted to do it for a long time,
and he can sleep there.
So he won't bother us.
It'll be better for us.
We can make love without worrying that he might hear us.
Brothers,
you are all children of God thanks to your faith in Jesus Christ.
Because when you were baptized,
you accepted the faith in Christ.
There are no longer Jews or pagans,
neither slaves nor free men,
no men or women,
because everyone is a unique being, in Jesus Christ.
Word of God.
We praise you, Lord.
Giacomo, I baptize you
in the name of the Father,
the Son
and the Holy Spirit.
The table of the young.
Was the menu to your liking?
We haven't been all together since the marriage of Salvio and Cecilia.
Are you crazy?
You forgot Inês and Luciano?
All the money they spent, and nobody remembers?
Mom.
This is the Mara.
I see you almost every day, but we don't know each other.
Inês, how was the amniocentesis?
It was good.
And it's a boy.
Very good.
Don't buy anything. We have everything. Right, Salvio?
Cecilia?
Now I no longer have to ask when you'll give me a nephew.
Laura, we'll have another.
We won't stop now.
That's great. You take care of it so she doesn't want it from me.
I never wanted anything from you.
Come on, Anna, nobody wanted anything from you.
Nobody told you what to do with your life.
Nobody asked you to do normal things.
What's not normal about me?
You were always independent. Liked to be alone.
What? I hate being alone. I never liked it.
Even when you were little, you were always shunning others.
Mom, I live with Mara, whether you like it or not.
That I know.
Honey, come here.
Love. My beautiful.
Look at him, look how beautiful he is.
Grandmother's treasure.
It's not serious, really.
The stain won't stay.
Attention, attention.
I'm going to the bathroom.
I have to buy tobacco. Want to come?
Want?
Here.
You want a drink?
Won't be so easy. We're in Udine.
This is open.
What do you want?
A beer.
How old are you?
No, I don't wanna know.
Can you give me two beers, please?
Thank you.
You have husband, Mara?
How do you know?
Where is he?
I don't know. I don't care.
We're separated. I left.
Where you go?
To Anna.
Why?
Why what?
Why Anna?
Why Anna? Because...
She made me discover things about myself I didn't know.
She makes me feel important.
She has become my refuge in the world.
Because she likes me.
From gratitude.
And you, you always know everything.
Have you been in love?
They're good.
Let me tell you something.
You need a man.
A man who gives you a son, a family.
Whatever you want.
So lucky we found you.
Let me see.
Okay. We can get rid of the stitches in a few days.
She's awake.
Who?
Anna.
Why? She was asleep?
Yes, she was sleeping.
I'm awake.
Too much.
My love, I made a mistake.
I was wrong. Forgive me.
Sorry.
I made you to go to a place where you couldn't feel good.
I went home right away, but you weren't here, and you weren't answering the phone.
I'm sorry.
Why did you get up by yourself?
To go where?
You don't even know who I am.
Today I saw you. You were leaving the factory.
Why are you crying?
My father had a stroke.
You know what that is?
Is it very bad?
He's dying.
With a tube in his throat.
It's disgusting.
He worked all his life. He shouldn't die in that stinky room.
He must think I'm a dunce,
and that I'll let him die alone.
And it's true.
When a person dies, he thinks only of God.
Yes, of course.
No, my father doesn't believe in God. He never has.
When a person is dying, he changes ideas.
Because he's afraid.
How did your parents die?
They're dead already, over, disappeared.
And you, do you have anybody else? Brothers? Sisters?
I have Anna.
Right.
Anna!
You learn fast.
Do you think of them often?
I think they're fine where they are,
because they did good things.
I'm not dead yet, you know?
But I believe God is waiting for us with a better life
for all people who are good.
You're a weak person,
but good. It's important for life.
Sorry that I couldn't make it sooner.
My mother took me to a meeting.
How is your father?
We'll talk later.
Hello, Anis.
Are you leaving?
Yes, is there anything else?
No, no. See you.
Anis.
I wanted to tell you
I'm happy you like the job.
It's not easy to find people like you.
I have to take care of the residence permit.
I'll talk to my sister.
See you tomorrow.
Good evening, Mr. Salvio.
You did well. You also have the right.
Okay.
Don't worry.
Let me see.
I hope these aren't for you.
You did it because you have to send money for your family?
No, I came here just for me.
And where do you live?
Where do you sleep?
With two Italian women. They help me.
Very well.
I'm also have a woman.
I'm married.
Now I'm Italian. Let me show you.
Pretty.
No.
She's not pretty,
but what does that matter?
She helps me, and I'm nice to her.
And I can do what I want.
Remember you're still a child.
You're clandestine in a foreign country.
Alone and with nowhere to go.
If you learn to be quiet, we'll get along.
I want to make love, Mara.
You know what time is it?
We have to wake early.
Don't move...
Not like this!
You don't know how to swim?
What is it?
What?
I had a nightmare.
I dreamed of Anis.
That was the nightmare?
You think he's okay here?
I think so.
What we're doing isn't normal.
We're doing what you wanted.
I'm worried that we're making a mistake.
And what do you want to do?
I don't know.
I like that Anis is here with us.
I feel good with the two of you.
But it's like walking on a tightrope.
I'm afraid of falling and hurting myself.
That was what I was dreaming.
Don't worry, honey. Sleep.
If you fall, I'll catch you.
OK. I'll call you later.
I'll be in touch. Thank you.
I wanted to talk to you about that.
Why?
I'm trying to save anything that can be saved.
If you knew, why didn't you say it?
We thought that with the opening of the factory in Romania
we wouldn't have to make cuts.
But it's impossible. We have to cut staff.
Excuse me.
What is it, Mara?
What do you think?
It's very beautiful.
I would like to help you more.
These things are important. They must be well made.
I'm sure you picked the best, Anna, really.
We have to close. Are you expecting anyone else?
No, nobody.
Go say goodbye.
I already have.
What are you doing here?
I brought you something.
I don't need anything, Anis.
It's because of your father. Sorry.
I saw you a little bit sad, and I...
Thank you.
Very beautiful.
It's not my style, but...
OK. Very good.
Very beautiful.
Perfect.
Where are you going?
Let's go home.
Why?
You're tired, and you have to sleep.
Come dance with me.
Let's go home.
Come dance with me.
Let's go home.
Please.
You didn't tell me anything. Why didn't you call?
Where did you go?
We were dancing.
Mara, your father died.
And?
Sorry, Mara.
Tell me what can I do for you.
Anything. Tell me and I'll do it.
Where were you?
I'm sorry you're in the middle of this.
Mara is very sad.
She must swallow her own pain.
You have learned to know her well.
Salvio, it's me, Anna.
Is it a bad time?
Are you kidding?
You said you wouldn't let us go.
There's been a change of plans.
We're not selling enough.
The specialists can go to Romania.
You go to Timisoara for 300 euros per month.
We tried to save what we can.
Yes, your ass, but not ours.
What happened?
They sent 10 letters of dismissal. Here.
Who?
Lorenza, Elisabetta, Angela. All.
They moved the entire production to Romania.
The whole line?
Why am I not on the list?
Ask someone else.
I wonder why it is that you didn't get fired.
This is for you.
It's your settlement. You no longer work with us.
Why?
I'm sorry, I spoke with my sister.
I can't employ you legally anymore.
You said that the job is going well.
Sorry. I can't have an undocumented worker.
I can't get you the permit.
Take your money and go, please.
No, I need to work.
Leave it. Someone else will do it.
Leave it alone. Take your money and go away.
Go. Go.
Home already?
They fired me.
Are you kidding? Who?
Salvio said I'm no longer needed.
Why?
It was Anna.
She want me to go away.
This isn't possible.
Crap.
Don't worry.
If you're leaving, I am. Okay?
I want to be with you.
Sorry.
For a lifetime.
I made a mistake.
You need me.
I didn't want to get you through this.
I'll marry you.
I don't believe you.
Seriously, I want to marry you.
No. I don't want to marry you.
I don't need you.
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me! Leave me alone.
Why?
You're going.
I mean it.
I want to marry you. You're very beautiful.
Don't touch me. Leave me alone, dammit!
Go away!
Anis. What do you want?
Job. Why can't I stay?
Oh, god. You can't.
Get out now.
I want to work.
We don't need you! Get lost!
Why?
Stop it, please. I don't want to call the police.
My sister likes you. Go, I have a job to do.
Go, please. Go.
Anis, what are you doing?
Stop the car. Stop the car.
Come on.
Stop, don't be stupid.
Get out.
It's useless.
Nothing will be the same.
I was trying to save our relationship.
And a boy can cause us a crisis?
I didn't sleep with him.
But put him on the street.
I guess we're both shit,
so maybe we deserve this.
No,
you're not a shit,
you're someone who can afford to be nice.
Give with one hand and take with the other.
You save me from getting fired, and you get somebody else fired.
Everything is in your hands.
If you want, we'll move.
We'll walk from here.
Who cares about work? We'll find something else.
You just have to desire it.
I don't want anything else.
You were against it,
but he was lost and needed us.
I wanted to help him,
and I didn't want to discuss it.
I knew it wouldn't be easy,
but it's better than nothing.
Why not think about it?
We've made a lot of mistakes,
but this time we can do it better.
You want to throw everything away?
