A THOUSAND MONTHS
I see it! There it is!
Where is it?
Over there.
Mum, I can see it.
Mehdi!
Someone point it out to me.
Look, it's over there. Can you see it now?
- It's so big. - Praise be to God.
1981, start of the month of Ramadan
Leave it, go and rest.
Where? The kaid prays day and night. And Malika...
When are you going to start praying?
I don't know the prayers.
Do what my mother does. When you pray, say,
"Lala Hénia has known God,
"who recognizes her." He'll accept your prayers.
You scared me!
Come here.
You're a man now. Are you fasting this year?
I only fast on the 27th day.
What about you?
Why don't you learn to cook?
Will a husband everwant you?
You can't even cook an egg.
Damn kids! Little bastards!
The hadj's dog almost bit me.
I hit it with my satchel
and it tore it to bits.
I swear, Mum.
A man always fights back.
That's what l did.
Protect yourself with stones, not with your satchel.
Hit it with the chair. You'll need a new satchel now.
The main thing is, it didn't bite you.
Be careful.
This first day of fasting has been hard.
I've been thinking.
Write to Mehdi as if Abdelkrim was writing from France.
We should tell him the truth and take him to see his father.
Abdelkrim doesn't want that. We have to wait for the trial.
It's been a year already!
Ten and a half months.
Last Ramadan, he was with us. We still lived in the city.
Here, you're not eating enough.
Cities light up and go out in one go.
The stars are always on.
Mum, have you ever seen the city lights go out?
- Often. - Will you wake me to see them?
Later. Father Ahmed, can you hang this hand on the door?
We're no longer protected.
No, outside.
If it can really repel evil spirits,
one inch of wood won't make any difference.
You don't respect our patron saints...
You've woken them up.
- What on earth's that? - Enough, calm down.
- IL'll go and see. - L'm scared.
Be quiet!
Don't make a sound.
The pump attendanfs a dog?
Go to bed!
"Stand and greet your teacher.
"He is like a prophet for you."
Be seated.
- What day is it today? - Monday, first day of the week.
- What do we do on Monday? - Share the Lord's bread.
All right, let's start.
You left this butter out in the sun.
Mehdi, come here.
Listen, it's starting.
It's brilliant! Understand the words?
Only English interests me at school. The other classes bore me.
With the strike on right now, it's fantastic!
No one goes to classes!
I'm always in the front row of the demonstrations.
Last time, a boy let me sit on his shoulders.
I saw it all: the students,
the pupils, the riot cops, the police...
We were together, shouting the same slogans.
It was wild, just like being at a rock concert!
But when the cops charge,
they understand nothing and arrest everyone who moves.
They don't split hairs. That's when you need to run!
Keep a look out and tell me if anyone turns up.
I spoke to the kaid. He knows a police inspecter.
- He can't promise anything. - No one knows the trial date.
- They take politics seriously. - What politics?
Abdelkrim was just a teacher. He spent his nights on homework.
I told him to give private I lessons but it was no use.
Mehdi!
Accused of inciting a strike!
Your mother's calling. Hurry!
It's all right. Off you go.
Come here, my "taxi of love".
- Do you know Saadia? - Yes, she's our neighbour.
Give her this letter.
Smell it!
- It smells beautiful. - You think so?
Put it in your satchel.
Saadia! Khadija!
Hannane!
"Among your sisters,
"you're like a white rose among the dandelions.
"At your side, otherwomen look Like hairy apes.
"One look from you can make me the king of poets."
- Can l go? - Stay, please.
Mehdi isn't coming out today!
"Oh, my sweet love,
"do not make my heart suffer too long.
"Have pity on this face..."
FatherAhmed...
l'd be better off at my mother's in Casablanca.
Are you crazy or what?
What about Abdelkrim?
Here, at least, the prison's only a few miles away.
It will all work out.
He'll be freed, l'll recover my land
and things will be like before.
Ihate to see you sell your furniture.
I've only mortgaged it. L'll get it back later.
It's your parents' Iegacy
and you hate selling it.
A legacy like that reeks of death.
It's better to sell it.
Good night.
There, it's fine like that!
Thafs the lot.
Go now, we're full!
- Open the gate! - We want work, we have nothing!
The drought has destroyed our land.
What are you looking at? Get to work!
Get out of here! Asshole!
Get out of my field!
This TV set is a piece of shit!
One lemonade and one tea.
- Are we moving soon? - No. Why?
Where are you taking all the furniture, then?
It's old, we'll buy new furniture.
I sell it far away so our neighbours won't buy it.
- As far as France? - No, not that far.
- Beyond the city? - Beyond several cities.
Did Dad see all those cities when he left for France?
Of course.
You know, in all those cities...
At night, the0llights all come on at once
and, in the morning, they go out at the same time.
Has your TV broken down too?
It's the relay station up there.
Tell me, have you made friends here?
They envy me because of the chair.
Only naturel, that shows your teacher trusts you.
He chose you among all the others.
He knows my father's a teacher. He told me,
"Your father's lucky to be in France.
"Several of his friends are in prison."
Is this new lemonade?
Stealing the kid's lemonade now?
Tell me, Ahmed, are you holding up at the quarry?
Say hello first.
I hope they'll keep you.
With Ramadan and Id, we all need money.
Can you imagine? My pay's no longer enough for me.
He's grown so much!
By the way, the police were asking about you today.
I said you were a loyal former resistant.
They listened to me and left.
They dropped the investigation.
Finish your lemonade.
How's Abdelkrim?
We'll be going now.
He has to sleep, he has school tomorrow.
Come and clean this table and bring me a coffee!
No, leave the lemonade.
Abdelhadi!
Let go of me!
Careful! My pullover! My shirt! What?
Did you see the last episode? There was a breakdown here.
The transmission is cut from Rabat.
Our equipment works perfectly.
Any breakdown comes from the capital.
- We can't do anything. - Don't lie during Ramadan.
But l saw the whole episode.
You savages! Let him tell us!
- Well, MrAbdelhadi? - Sit down!
Hi, moqadam!
- Well? - Listen closely to the story.
When they met,
he invited her and they fled.
They fall into the Nile and die together.
That's the end, with the credits...
- Saadia, turn the radio off! - You'll wake the whole village.
I cut the transmission for you.
So only you would know the end.
So, how do you feel? Are you happy?
Not if the lovers die!
What if they find out you're causing the breakdowns?
- Who? - The villagers. You'll be fired.
People here know nothing about high technology.
You're worrying over nothing.
Go now, my father's here.
Get lost! Go on, clear off!
Piss off, son of a bitch!
Bastards! Thieves! Give me back my motorbike!
- Add more spices. - AII right.
A bit more, the kaid likes spicy food.
It's bad for the stomach.
Fuck, we'll get spotted. Drink!
You almost got us nailed.
- I can't stand the smoke. - What a wimp!
That's Nabil. Got a girlfriend at school?
There's only boys.
That's useless!
You know, our teacher
sends letters to our neighbour.
- Which of the seven sisters? - The prettiest one.
Prettier than me?
Are they singers?
Singers? They're victims of the system.
We're marching for them tomorrow.
Some teachers are with us.
I'll tell you something.
Everyone's lying to you.
And l don't like lies.
Your father ls a militant. You should be proud of him.
He isn't in France.
He's in prison.
I'll tell them you're smoking!
- Move! - L want to sleep!
What's that smell?
- Are you smoking now? - L wasn't smoking.
You're turning into a hoodlum?
I swear l didn't.
You're lying as well now?
- I'll tell your father. - I'm the only one with no father.
He never cornes home from France.
You want to kill me? You want to be like Malika!
I'll never take you with me again.
I want a seat.
I'm the village moqadam!
There's no order here. You're all hoodlums.
Go on, get in.
We'll take the next one. Be careful.
Mehdi, are you all right?
Don't forget to show me the chair tonight.
The kaid's daughter has grown.
Yes, but she's turning out badly.
Mum, there's a taxi!
God, it's scandalous!
Change seats, or we'll head off the road.
Stop looking at me in that mirror.
I can't drive without a mirror!
We should call the police.
I can't drive a girl in make-up during Ramadan.
Girls today!
No modesty, nothing!
Show some respect, at least during Ramadan!
- Let me tell you something. - Let go of me.
She's the kaid's daughter. Careful!
I have children! How will l get home?
Whatever!
Hurry up, there's no time to lose!
What a filthy job!
Cover your head, you!
Call the police.
- Why did you let her get in? - L didn't see her.
Liar!
Hurry up, the film's started.
All visits are cancelled.
- We weren't told? - We're telling you now.
What do we do, then?
Visits are cancelled, okay?
Why? For what reason?
Ask them in Rabat.
A year without trial and now he can't see his family!
- There's a problem? - This woman!
- Let's go, Amina. - My husband!
You'll see him! Come here!
I'll show you! Just go, you! Get lost!
Who do you think you are, bitch?
You insult the State! Take her to the police station.
Leave me alone! Get lost!
Get I lost! Let go of me!
Mehdi, stop it.
Get down.
I'm going alone. Go to the café with grandfather.
- I don't like the café. - You only like Malika's room.
I'm tired.
Your grandfather spoils you.
Come on then but if you enter Malika's room, l'll kill you.
- Malika isn't back yet. - Calm down.
We had trouble finding a taxi too.
I have a bad feeling.
Where are you going?
- Any news? - Nothing.
We always saw her hanging around at the taxi station.
Always made-up, no modesty. She wasn't fasting.
- She wasn't fasting? - L swear.
God has punished her.
Some people pay before Judgement Day.
Malika died because she didn't fast?
No, Malika died because her taxi was in a crash.
God punishes sinners.
Those who don't fast, don't pray or lie.
We must ask the Saint for protection at the mausoleum.
Mum, l'm going for a pee.
Read quietly! I need to concentrate.
I learn by saying it out loud.
Do that at home, then!
I'm in charge here.
Mum! Help! Help!
Mehdi, stop it!
- Who is it? - Lt's Fatima.
What's wrong, dear?
You know, boys together...
I couldn't read!
Look, my son's been beaten.
They were playing...
But my son's crying. Your boy hit him!
Fatima, calm clown.
Forget the work l promised you!
Please...
This devil will be the death of me.
Stop it, you'll knock him out!
I can't go on. A child needs a fathefls discipline.
You don't love anybody!
That's why Dad went away.
- Sweets from France. - How do you know?
- Have you ever had any? - No.
My uncle brought them for us Iast summer.
I found the hiding place yesterday.
Will you bring us some?
Run, he's coming!
He's going to fill the buckets.
When he carne back from the war, he killed his wife.
God's punishing him. When it rains, it rains on the whole village
except for his land.
Bastards!
Filthy curs!
Bastards.
Houcine!
- Take the teacher's soup to him. - Who's going to make it?
Your sister can see to it.
I don't want to.
- Please! - Here, l'll do it.
Here. You know, you're better than she is.
Why refuse the teacher?
- Want me to live in his class? - So?
Can't you see how l've suffered to raise you?
Careful you don't end up with the same regrets as me.
Chegdali, where's your homework? Back there!
Mehdi, come here.
- I've done my homework. - It's not that.
This will be your first lesson in being a teacher.
Mistakes must be punished or you'll only make them again.
Take them out into the yard.
Hit harder orl'll be punishing you!
There, that's enough.
AII right, go back in.
Give him a big hand.
This house doesn't feel right.
What more does it need?
A little paint would help.
Transferred to the country in a drought!
Have you seen these streets?
You can see the poverty on people's faces.
We've known worse.
This isn't the first time.
Even in a land of dogs, he who barks has to pay.
What a come-down since my first posting!
We'll end up in a hole soon.
If you keep chasing after married women,
you'll end up in a hole,
under a mound of earth.
No, Lahktir.
It won't happen again.
In this wilderness,
with this holy month...
That's enough!
No more alcohol,
no more nightclubs, no more dancers.
Sure...
Just wait for the keys!
You think you're in the jungle?
Watch your tone. Know who you're talking to?
- What? - Greet the new kaid first.
Forgive me. I didn't know.
Welcome, sir. I'm your moqadam.
You are?
Just the man.
Lahktir, take care of him. Brief him.
Come here.
Yes, sir.
- Did I tell you to go? - No.
So where are you going?
- Bring in the luggage. - Very good.
Samir!
- Hello, Amina. - A friend of Abdelkrim's.
Welcome, come in.
Have a seat.
Mehdi? He's grown so much!
Time flies.
Not always.
Amina, take Mehdi to his room.
Excuse us.
This used to be the living room.
Abdelkrim often talked about you.
Yes, but we didn't always see eye to eye.
He talked about your exploits in the war of liberation.
Especially when you saved a wounded friend.
You carried him on your back for four days.
That's all in the past now.
Have you heard from Abdelkrim?
Last time, he had the flu.
- He's well. - Tell me...
Why have they cancelled visits?
- They've started a hunger strike. - Not him! Why?
Because he's innocent.
He should have agreed to join us in the Party.
He never wanted to.
Independents are persecuted more than others.
Even within the parties,
the little man is crushed.
- How's your family? - They're well.
Aziz is in Moscow.
I got a grant for him. He wanted to go to the USA.
I couldn't tell the comrades l was sending my brother to America.
The others are still studying.
Do you have children?
Not yet.
I have to marry first.
Are you a wanted man too?
No, but l'm scared for you.
- Come back and see us. - L'll try.
We have no one here.
You can go. The streets are empty.
Thank you for the news.
Abdelkrim is more than a brother.
If he tries again, it'll go on and on!
It's confiscated land.
It's been his for centuries.
That's no longer the case.
It was peaceful here before you arrived.
Who are those people?
Some of grandfathefls friends.
- Please... - Too much is too much!
This time, they won't give up.
You remind me of Abdelkrim. We're paying for his stubbornness.
That land belongs to me.
As you wish. Let me go, then.
I don't want another police raid at night
or to have Mehdi mixed up in this.
Tomorrow is the Holy Night of Ramadan.
Can you take your first fast?
I'm a strong man.
In the name of God the Merciful.
"We brought that down on the Holy Night.
"How can one explain the grandeur of that night?
"The Holy Night is worth more than a thousand months.
"Angels and spirits corne down with orders for everything.
"Peace envelops this night until dawn.
"God's word is truth."
Mehdi, let's make up!
You stopped speaking to me.
- Are you fasting today? - Yes.
- I did it last year. - You're repeating the year.
Want to play blind man's bluff?
Sit clown.
Mehdi, come here.
Stand up!
Where's this nail from?
Who put it in the chair?
You're in charge of the chair, aren't you?
Go out into the yard!
Go back inside!
If I flick the switch, it all stops.
The village's TV sets are blind and deaf now.
Enough, put it back on.
- I have to go. - Want the picture to come back?
- I don't want any trouble. - The picture's back.
- I'm late. - Wait for me a second.
Will they give you a bigger house?
Of course, if I marry.
Just a second, climb on.
Give her this tape and tell her it's Marcel Khalifa
singing poems by Mahmoud Darwish.
You have something to tell me?
No.
Grandfather, can you remove a nail from the chair?
All right. Once the laundry's dry, take it up to the roof.
What's the matter?
I'm going to die. Lforgot and l ate during the day.
Forgetting isn't a sin.
What about Malika?
She died because God wanted her at his side.
Now she's in paradise.
She's in hell, punished by God for not fasting.
Mum told me.
She said that to protect you.
Grandfather, I'm tired. Let's go home.
My eye twitched. I knew l'd see a close friend again.
I expected old Ahmed to be at the mosque in the town.
But I hoped to see Mehdi here.
You've come back to see us, then.
We didn't see each other much Iast time.
You're as beautiful as you were
in the old days before you married Abdelkrim.
Your tea will get cold.
If you need me, don't hesitate.
For now, everything's fine.
I hope it's going to rain.
After this drought, if it rains or not...
Everyone flees to the town.
That's true.
They arrive at night and set up a new shantytown by dawn.
There are roadblocks in Casablanca to stop them.
You don't like my tea?
On the contrary! It's as good as it always was.
- It's cold. l'll make some more. - Don't tire yourself.
The water's still hot.
Thank God, we're saved...
I have to go.
What about your tea?
Thanks, some other time.
Samir!
- Did it go well? - Very well.
Get changed, you're soaked.
Mehdi, were you praying? I'm proud of you.
Is that true, Mum?
Fatima called round. The storm made me drop the tray.
Here, dry yourself.
I think l'll see the new kaid about a job as a cleaner.
I don't trust this new kaid.
It's almost Id and Mehdi needs new clothes.
God will help us.
Who'd dare to do such a thing? It will unleash God's wrath.
Even Satan is banished from Earth on the Holy Night.
While Man robs and pillages.
That's what happened.
Someone climbed the wall to steal a chair. lt's absurd!
The chair was the only item of value.
A teacher without a chair isn't a teacher.
Go and tell your parents.
No chair, no classes.
It's our fault.
We conceived you quickly in the war. But you look down on us.
You look kind to me. Here.
- You remind me of my father. - May he rest in peace.
He married four times.
Each time, he bought chairs, tables and tents.
Then he had a brainwave: he'd hire out wedding fittings.
We were the first on the market.
- I'm sorry? - You were the first on the market.
Go and work. Hurry!
Four wives, that gives you ideas, huh?
Are you being shy? Come here!
Even at 50, you'll always be myl little darling.
Gently!
Thank your grandfather. He bought your new clothes.
Come with me.
No, you go alone. I have to tidy up.
Give me a kiss.
- Use a carpet instead. - You think l'm stupid?
With the drought, who can buy a new chair?
So wait for the Ministry's reply.
I hope there won't be a strike at the post office
or in another area. It's all the rage these days!
Your children are the ones losing out.
Here, sir.
How old is this newspaper?
A week.
It's a history book now.
Take these old issues.
God knows what you do with them.
I sell the paper by weight.
I was gifted for business. But fate decided otherwise.
If you knew what Iwas destined for, you'd weep.
Egypt and Saudi Arabia celebrated Id today.
- So did Algeria. - So as not to celebrate with us.
No idea.
Goodbye.
We looked for you to pray together on MotherAichäs grave.
I like to come early, before the crowds.
No one prays for Malika.
I'll have the Koran read for her.
I'm going home.
- I don't see anything. - Stare hard and you'll see France.
It's useless. lt hurts my eyes.
You aren't looking properly. Hand it over!
Okay, we're closing, Ramadan's over.
No more late opening.
We want to stay.
Hello and welcome to "Fruit on Offer".
Today's letter is the letter for "maoz",
which means "banana".
Our guests' names
also start with an "m"
We have Marzouk Najemi,
the magical performer of "Derbouka",
Maria, and the upcoming singer
and flute-player, Moustafa Doukali.
Mr Marzouk is a teacher.
He is a poet and he'll read one of his poems for us.
Go ahead.
"Among your sisters,
"you're like the white rose among the dandelions.
"Oh, my sweet love, do not make my heart suffer too long.
"Have pity on this face..."
Wait, wait.
Hlima!
Ahmed has to go to see the kaid tomorrow.
- Hello, Hlima. - Hello.
- How are you? And your girls? - Well, thanks. And you?
Enough! Pay your share for the teacher's chair.
I don't have children at school.
Who cares? Everyone has contributed.
- I'm broke. - You're refusing to pay?
You'll have to go to see the kaid too.
Hello.
Houcine, l've come for your contribution for the chair.
I'm talking to you!
I told you it was no use.
Hey, you!
Are you listening? This is the voice of authority!
Get out of my mosque!
Otherwise I'll kill someone!
You can even see Dad.
I have a solution for you.
You don't pay now,
but, from time to time, Lahktir will come for petrol.
You can go.
This way.
Show the girl in so we can let her go.
- Can I help, Mr Lahktir? - Your name?
- Saadia. - Come here.
Over there.
Lahktir...
Fetch my glasses for me.
Which glasses?
They're in the convertible.
- Why didn't your father come? - He's sick.
Mother's useless with formalities. I'm the oldest child.
So am I. What a coincidence!
Older children always have it all.
Beauty, intelligence
and luck.
Can't a pretty girl like you find someone to pay her debt?
Beauty needs to find the person who can appreciate it.
That beautiful hair, that lovely neck...
that figure...
Those feet deserve a slave to wash them nightly.
My father is very conservative. He would kill me.
A girl like you mustn't stay in this hole of a village.
We've been alone here too long. I'm leaving.
If you want something serious, corne to see my father.
On top of all the rest, she's a good girl.
Lahktir... Tell them to leave. L'll pay for the chair.
They've already left. What do you want to do?
I'm going to marry her.
What have your other marriages brought you?
Ramadan is over.
Let's find a hooker. But don't get married!
Lahktir...
On the Holy Night, I dreamt of my father...
- carrying... - His gravestone.
And erasing his name.
- Know what that means? - No.
Neither of us has children.
Our family name is going to die out.
And what becomes of me?
I don't know. Get married!
Saadia...
Talk to me. Why are you avoiding me?
It' me, Abdelhadi!
Listen, l've had a pay rise.
It will all go well.
I ought to go to Casablanca with Mehdi.
Will you come with us? L'll be able to find work there.
We have no family there.
At least we have a roof here.
Samir could help us.
Listen, Amina.
People have always respected me.
I don't want any scandal in my twilight years.
If you want to start a new life and remarry,
you must tell Abdelkrim.
But know this:
I won't leave Mehdi with you.
This one's worth 700 dirhams.
Please, ma'am...
They're orphans.
May God bless you.
She gave me 100 dirhams. Go and get your share!
God, forgive me.
Corne and pray with me so that God will forgive us all.
Come and pray with me!
Tell us!
He said he'd dress me in all the top brands,
that he had a house in Spain,
that we'd take trains and planes,
that we'd live in Rabat and that he might be a minister.
- You believed him? - Of course.
I'll have three maids.
I'll only need to give orders and make myself beautiful.
But Abdelhadi?
The poor guy has nothing. L've already forgotten him.
Let your father rest.
Okay, Fatima? Is everything all right?
Come to the wedding on Friday.
- The girl's getting married? - She's at the right age.
- To whom? - The kaid.
He told her he'd take her...
Shut up! Are you crazy?
Excuse me, I'll be right back.
Come here, you. Where are you off to?
- Good luck to the happy couple. - See you on Friday.
Goodbye.
You've hidden her. You're forcing her to marry.
Don't make her do that!
Saadia! Come down here!
I have the money, Saadia!
Go on, sing! Change the tune!
Saadia, l'm going to save you.
Come on, let's run. I have the money.
Here he is!
Come back here!
Let go of me!
I'm sure we'll meet again.
Come on, Houcine!
We have to leave.
Corne on, hurry!
- Ah, that smile... - The light's going.
- You're the light here. - Thank you.
- Only you count here. - Thank you.
- What's your name? - Mbarka.
Come and have a drink in my convertible.
No, not now. I'm working.
I have whisky. I'll save it for later.
Why not? After work, handsome.
Okay, it's a deal.
Thank you.
- What did you tell him? - What do you mean?
- What did you say? - I say what I want.
- Why? You think you're single? - L do what l want.
- You're a whore! - It earns you your living.
- What? - And you come on all macho now.
- Is that what you think? - I keep telling you so.
What? Come here, we need to talk.
- Where are you going? - What?
- You dare to talk to me like that? - I say what l want.
Stop it, you two!
Stop fighting all the time!
I've worked with the best singers. I've had it with the rabble.
There's room on the other side.
I told you not to make me climb on the table.
I'm too old for this. You know l get dizzy.
You wanted to get married. You've seen nothing yet.
This is just the beginning.
All these dumb changes of clothes...
I feel like a clown.
Whose idea was it to hire these naggafates cows?
Don't say anything unkind, my mother was one.
She dressed my mother and became the second wife a year later.
Don't forget that she raised you.
She should have educated herself instead.
Don't insult my mother!
I'll smash everything!
Calm down!
My old friend!
If you have another chair, don't hesitate, I'll buy it.
This is a great day.
- What's wrong with him? - He's drunk.
I have to take care of drunkards too!
Can I replace him?
If you have anything, I'll buy!
Listen I'll see you after, all right?
Who is that?
Some drunk who thought he knew me.
Dump this animal here!
That's enough. Let's go!
"Among your sisters,
"you're like a rose among the dandelions."
What is this group?
- Where's the fiddle-player? - He's drunk too much.
You bring a filthy goatherd to my wedding!
You want to jinx me?
I told you to take care of the chikhates!
Go and find another group!
Stop it.
Don't dance for them. This wedding isn't our party.
You understand?
This is my chair!
It's the chair someone stole from me.
I'd know it anywhere. The stamp's still on it.
Come here, kid. Look.
It's my chair. Look underneath. The nail's still there.
It's my chair all right.
The renter is still here.
Let's go and find him.
- This isn't for children. - Let go of me.
What a night! The kaid's a madman and his brother's even worse.
What is this marriage! What a shitty kaid!
I haven't stolen anything!
The thief will have his hand chopped off!
Saadia!
Give the jewels back!
Want to see them chop his hand off?
Stealing is a sin. Why did he steal my chair?
He's an old man with a beard. You know him.
I spoke to him just a few minutes ago.
- Could you recognize him? - Of course.
I'm the one who knows him.
Bastard!
Son of a bitch!
I'm not your brother!
Son of a bitch!
Saadia, wait!
I've found the brooch.
Break the door down.
Wait, this is your house!
My God! All the doors look alike.
Let's try the other street!
It's this door!
