1
00:04:25,631 --> 00:04:27,048
Good to see you.

2
00:04:36,923 --> 00:04:38,172
Please...

3
00:04:38,297 --> 00:04:42,422
THE TWINS

4
00:05:05,422 --> 00:05:08,131
Will of Mrs Nawal Marwan.

5
00:05:08,256 --> 00:05:10,840
Opening of the will
before her two children,

6
00:05:11,131 --> 00:05:12,756
Simon Marwan

7
00:05:13,090 --> 00:05:15,131
and Jeanne Marwan.

8
00:05:17,548 --> 00:05:22,464
In conformance with the instructions
and rights of Mrs Nawal Marwan...

9
00:05:23,798 --> 00:05:25,422
Notary Jean Lebel

10
00:05:25,548 --> 00:05:28,422
is named executor of the will.

11
00:05:31,464 --> 00:05:33,714
That was your mother's decision.

12
00:05:34,756 --> 00:05:37,548
I was against it, but she insisted.

13
00:05:40,673 --> 00:05:41,714
You know...

14
00:05:42,756 --> 00:05:44,840
your mother was more than an employee.

15
00:05:45,923 --> 00:05:48,631
My late wife and I
considered you our family.

16
00:05:48,756 --> 00:05:49,798
So,

17
00:05:51,214 --> 00:05:52,714
I couldn't refuse.

18
00:05:56,131 --> 00:06:00,048
All my assets are divided between
the twins Jeanne and Simon.

19
00:06:00,172 --> 00:06:01,923
My money will be halved

20
00:06:02,048 --> 00:06:05,090
and my belongings
divided as they see fit.

21
00:06:07,214 --> 00:06:08,464
Burial.

22
00:06:09,464 --> 00:06:11,673
To Notary Jean Lebel:

23
00:06:11,798 --> 00:06:16,714
Bury me with no casket,
no prayers, naked,

24
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:20,172
face down, away from the world.

25
00:06:23,464 --> 00:06:24,840
Stone and epitaph.

26
00:06:26,297 --> 00:06:30,131
I want no gravestone,
nor my name engraved anywhere.

27
00:06:30,256 --> 00:06:33,214
No epitaph for those
who don't keep their promises.

28
00:06:35,464 --> 00:06:37,589
To Jeanne and Simon:

29
00:06:37,714 --> 00:06:40,297
Childhood is a knife
stuck in your throat.

30
00:06:41,464 --> 00:06:43,090
It can't be easily removed.

31
00:06:45,965 --> 00:06:47,464
Jeanne,

32
00:06:47,589 --> 00:06:49,840
Mr Lebel will give you an envelope.

33
00:06:52,297 --> 00:06:55,464
The envelope is for your father.

34
00:06:56,631 --> 00:06:58,006
Find him

35
00:06:58,131 --> 00:06:59,673
and give it to him.

36
00:07:03,881 --> 00:07:06,422
Simon, the notary
will give you an envelope...

37
00:07:06,548 --> 00:07:08,048
I've heard enough.

38
00:07:10,464 --> 00:07:11,589
I haven't finished.

39
00:07:15,422 --> 00:07:16,422
Go on.

40
00:07:18,422 --> 00:07:21,006
Simon, the notary
will give you an envelope.

41
00:07:21,131 --> 00:07:24,090
The envelope is for your brother.

42
00:07:26,090 --> 00:07:27,506
Find him

43
00:07:27,631 --> 00:07:29,256
and give him the envelope.

44
00:07:30,506 --> 00:07:33,172
To the son

45
00:07:34,256 --> 00:07:37,090
When the envelopes have been delivered,

46
00:07:37,214 --> 00:07:39,048
you will be given a letter.

47
00:07:40,090 --> 00:07:42,464
The silence will be broken,

48
00:07:42,589 --> 00:07:44,756
a promise kept,

49
00:07:44,881 --> 00:07:48,506
and you can place a stone
on my grave and on it engrave

50
00:07:48,631 --> 00:07:50,172
my name in the sun.

51
00:08:04,923 --> 00:08:06,631
I admit, it's unusual.

52
00:08:14,756 --> 00:08:15,965
Anything to sign?

53
00:08:16,090 --> 00:08:17,756
No, not today.

54
00:08:18,798 --> 00:08:19,798
OK.

55
00:08:21,006 --> 00:08:22,214
Thanks, Jean.

56
00:08:22,339 --> 00:08:23,840
Let's go.
- Wait.

57
00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:29,464
You know about our father.

58
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,840
That we have no brother.

59
00:08:32,965 --> 00:08:34,756
Why'd you let her write that?

60
00:08:37,548 --> 00:08:39,464
I understand your reaction.

61
00:08:40,256 --> 00:08:41,255
It's very surprising.

62
00:08:41,297 --> 00:08:44,923
Don't pretend you buy this.
You knew her. It can't be.

63
00:08:45,048 --> 00:08:47,006
One doesn't invent such things,

64
00:08:47,131 --> 00:08:48,589
not in a will.

65
00:08:50,256 --> 00:08:51,464
There's this, too.

66
00:09:07,965 --> 00:09:11,256
Look, your mother
has left us something rather...

67
00:09:12,006 --> 00:09:13,464
We'll sleep on it and...

68
00:09:15,339 --> 00:09:16,965
We'll be in touch.

69
00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:19,339
I'll wait outside.
Thank you, Jean.

70
00:09:19,464 --> 00:09:20,840
Sit down, Simon.

71
00:09:22,048 --> 00:09:23,090
Look, Jean...

72
00:09:24,798 --> 00:09:28,090
Your secretary liked working for you.

73
00:09:28,214 --> 00:09:30,756
At least she did that right.
Bravo.

74
00:09:32,172 --> 00:09:34,214
But your secretary was my mother.

75
00:09:35,297 --> 00:09:37,714
And that job, a whole other matter...

76
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:38,714
Simon...

77
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,506
Bury your secretary how you want.

78
00:09:41,631 --> 00:09:43,756
But I'll bury my mom normally.

79
00:09:43,881 --> 00:09:47,006
For once in her life
she'll have acted normally.

80
00:09:49,714 --> 00:09:50,881
End of discussion.

81
00:10:05,589 --> 00:10:06,589
Take your time.

82
00:10:07,048 --> 00:10:09,090
Come back when Simon's calmer.

83
00:10:13,673 --> 00:10:15,965
I know it's very unusual, but...

84
00:10:20,090 --> 00:10:22,090
your mother wasn't crazy, Jeanne.

85
00:10:40,923 --> 00:10:42,631
We're a big family suddenly.

86
00:10:47,881 --> 00:10:49,256
She ever mention a dog?

87
00:10:50,297 --> 00:10:52,297
Big families always have a dog.

88
00:10:52,965 --> 00:10:54,923
Do we have to find it now too?

89
00:10:55,714 --> 00:10:57,339
She's fucking crazy.

90
00:11:03,256 --> 00:11:04,756
I'll talk to Jean.

91
00:11:05,756 --> 00:11:06,756
About what?

92
00:11:07,506 --> 00:11:09,297
Having a normal funeral.

93
00:11:12,464 --> 00:11:14,506
We'll take care of her, then you.

94
00:11:28,756 --> 00:11:29,756
Where you going?

95
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,464
Bury her any way you want.

96
00:11:32,589 --> 00:11:34,048
Cut it out.

97
00:11:36,256 --> 00:11:38,548
You weren't there when she died,

98
00:11:38,673 --> 00:11:41,714
you were there
when she had her accident...

99
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,840
You feel guilty about everything!

100
00:11:44,923 --> 00:11:47,131
I don't feel guilty.

101
00:11:47,256 --> 00:11:49,256
Do you realize what we just heard?

102
00:11:49,381 --> 00:11:52,214
She's gone, Christ! It's over.
Peace at last!

103
00:11:57,422 --> 00:11:59,172
I feel so fucking peaceful!

104
00:12:05,048 --> 00:12:06,673
I'm at peace.

105
00:12:09,631 --> 00:12:11,048
I can see that.

106
00:12:15,131 --> 00:12:18,297
The mathematics you've studied until now

107
00:12:18,422 --> 00:12:22,589
have sought to provide
clear and definitive answers

108
00:12:22,714 --> 00:12:25,840
to clear and definitive problems.

109
00:12:25,965 --> 00:12:29,048
Now you are embarking
on a new adventure.

110
00:12:29,172 --> 00:12:31,631
You will face insoluble problems

111
00:12:31,756 --> 00:12:36,339
that will lead to other,
equally insoluble problems.

112
00:12:36,464 --> 00:12:40,006
Friends will insist
that the object of your toil

113
00:12:40,131 --> 00:12:42,006
is futile.

114
00:12:42,131 --> 00:12:45,506
You'll have no way
of defending yourself,

115
00:12:45,631 --> 00:12:49,339
for the problems will be
of mind-boggling complexity.

116
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,172
Welcome to pure mathematics

117
00:12:53,297 --> 00:12:55,589
and the realm of solitude.

118
00:12:55,714 --> 00:12:57,673
Let me introduce my assistant,

119
00:12:57,798 --> 00:13:00,506
Miss Jeanne Marwan.

120
00:13:01,631 --> 00:13:02,630
Hello.

121
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,131
We'll start with the Collatz conjecture.

122
00:13:12,297 --> 00:13:14,714
What does your intuition tell you?

123
00:13:21,923 --> 00:13:24,381
Your intuition is always right.

124
00:13:24,506 --> 00:13:28,339
That's why you have the makings
of a true mathematician.

125
00:13:28,464 --> 00:13:31,381
But for this you're going to need help.

126
00:13:32,714 --> 00:13:34,923
Do you have family there?

127
00:13:36,090 --> 00:13:37,214
Any contacts?

128
00:13:37,339 --> 00:13:38,589
It's ridiculous, Niv.

129
00:13:38,714 --> 00:13:42,131
You just learned that
a) your father is alive

130
00:13:42,256 --> 00:13:45,381
and b) you have another brother.

131
00:13:45,506 --> 00:13:48,840
What's ridiculous is
to challenge the inevitable.

132
00:13:49,631 --> 00:13:51,840
You have to know,

133
00:13:51,965 --> 00:13:54,381
or your mind will never be at peace.

134
00:13:56,631 --> 00:14:00,297
And without peace of mind,
no pure mathematics.

135
00:14:03,756 --> 00:14:05,881
You need a starting point.

136
00:14:11,798 --> 00:14:14,589
My father died during the war,
in Daresh.

137
00:14:14,714 --> 00:14:16,923
That's the unknown variable.

138
00:14:17,048 --> 00:14:19,256
You never start
with the unknown variable.

139
00:14:22,006 --> 00:14:24,881
My mom's from Der Om,
a village in the Fouad.

140
00:14:27,214 --> 00:14:30,422
She studied French
at Daresh University.

141
00:14:30,548 --> 00:14:33,048
If she studied, there's hope.

142
00:14:35,172 --> 00:14:36,798
Saïd Haidar.

143
00:14:37,965 --> 00:14:40,506
You'll pay a visit to Saïd Haidar.

144
00:14:40,631 --> 00:14:43,048
An old friend who teaches in Daresh.

145
00:14:43,172 --> 00:14:44,923
You can trust him.

146
00:17:32,172 --> 00:17:33,172
Mom?

147
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:34,881
Are you alright?

148
00:17:41,172 --> 00:17:42,464
What are you doing?

149
00:17:43,048 --> 00:17:44,090
Mom?

150
00:17:45,048 --> 00:17:46,048
Are you OK?

151
00:17:49,548 --> 00:17:51,506
Madame, you're on my towel.

152
00:17:53,297 --> 00:17:54,297
Mom?

153
00:17:56,673 --> 00:17:57,672
Mom?

154
00:18:20,881 --> 00:18:21,881
Mom?

155
00:18:24,548 --> 00:18:25,798
What happened?

156
00:18:28,756 --> 00:18:30,172
Where's Jeanne?

157
00:18:33,090 --> 00:18:34,090
Mom?

158
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,589
Does she get migraines?

159
00:18:48,714 --> 00:18:49,713
No.

160
00:18:50,090 --> 00:18:51,214
Memory lapses?

161
00:18:51,339 --> 00:18:52,631
No.

162
00:18:52,756 --> 00:18:54,297
Incidences of falling?

163
00:18:54,422 --> 00:18:55,421
No.

164
00:18:55,881 --> 00:18:57,631
Moments of confusion?

165
00:18:58,131 --> 00:18:59,965
She's usually confused.

166
00:19:00,297 --> 00:19:02,381
No, she's never confused.

167
00:20:12,506 --> 00:20:14,214
Wahab, come.

168
00:20:37,381 --> 00:20:38,756
Let go of my sister.

169
00:20:41,006 --> 00:20:44,048
Where are you going,
son of a refugee?

170
00:20:49,464 --> 00:20:51,923
Nicolas, stop!

171
00:20:52,381 --> 00:20:53,798
Go back home!

172
00:20:54,798 --> 00:20:55,673
Wahab!

173
00:20:55,798 --> 00:20:59,256
We'll seek you in your camps
and slaughter you!

174
00:21:00,172 --> 00:21:01,297
Give it!

175
00:21:01,422 --> 00:21:03,506
I want to.
- It's my duty.

176
00:21:05,714 --> 00:21:08,090
You stained our family's honor.

177
00:21:08,589 --> 00:21:09,588
That's enough!

178
00:21:10,631 --> 00:21:12,506
Come home now!

179
00:21:13,506 --> 00:21:14,881
Come home!

180
00:21:22,090 --> 00:21:23,297
Get away!

181
00:21:30,172 --> 00:21:32,381
What have you done?

182
00:21:32,506 --> 00:21:35,881
You've humiliated us,
ruined the family name!

183
00:21:36,006 --> 00:21:39,631
Why, my God, have you cast us
into darkness?

184
00:21:42,297 --> 00:21:45,923
My God, what have you done?
Why did you do this to me?

185
00:21:46,048 --> 00:21:48,714
What am I to do with you?
Should I kill you?

186
00:21:50,798 --> 00:21:52,881
I'm pregnant, Grandma.

187
00:21:53,006 --> 00:21:57,381
My God, blackness everywhere!
Why?

188
00:21:57,506 --> 00:21:59,589
Why did you do this to us?

189
00:22:00,297 --> 00:22:02,923
Am I supposed to kill you?

190
00:22:03,048 --> 00:22:05,048
What am I going to do with you?

191
00:23:25,131 --> 00:23:26,214
Eat.

192
00:23:28,381 --> 00:23:31,131
Eat if you want your child to be strong.

193
00:23:37,506 --> 00:23:39,214
Listen to me carefully.

194
00:23:40,214 --> 00:23:42,214
There's nothing here for you now.

195
00:23:43,756 --> 00:23:46,381
I'll help you after the birth.

196
00:23:46,714 --> 00:23:48,631
I want you to leave here.

197
00:23:50,422 --> 00:23:54,214
You'll stay with your Uncle Charbel
in town.

198
00:23:55,090 --> 00:23:57,589
You'll go to school there.

199
00:23:57,714 --> 00:23:59,965
You'll learn to read, to think.

200
00:24:00,090 --> 00:24:03,090
To escape this misery.

201
00:24:04,756 --> 00:24:06,923
Promise me and I'll help you.

202
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,214
Promise me that you'll go to school.

203
00:24:19,881 --> 00:24:21,548
I promise you, Grandma.

204
00:24:24,006 --> 00:24:25,381
I promise you.

205
00:27:06,881 --> 00:27:10,464
Take a good look at your mother.
So you'll recognize her.

206
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:19,756
I'll find you again one day.
I promise you, my love.

207
00:27:30,339 --> 00:27:33,090
Be careful.
- Don't worry.

208
00:28:06,798 --> 00:28:09,464
Come, it's time you left.

209
00:28:10,506 --> 00:28:13,965
I see terrible times ahead.

210
00:28:30,297 --> 00:28:33,090
One day I'll find you, my son.

211
00:30:09,548 --> 00:30:14,006
I received the message
from my friend Niv Cohen,

212
00:30:14,131 --> 00:30:15,589
but I can't help you.

213
00:30:15,923 --> 00:30:18,131
Because, back then,

214
00:30:18,256 --> 00:30:22,673
I was teaching the history
of mathematics at Paris XI.

215
00:30:23,256 --> 00:30:26,422
More precisely, the period when

216
00:30:26,548 --> 00:30:29,756
Leonhard Euler succeeded,

217
00:30:29,881 --> 00:30:31,589
although blind,

218
00:30:31,714 --> 00:30:35,422
in first providing a formal
mathematical resolution

219
00:30:35,548 --> 00:30:38,756
to the problem
of the Seven Bridges of Königsberg.

220
00:30:38,881 --> 00:30:39,923
Yes.

221
00:30:40,214 --> 00:30:43,048
He defied Diderot at the Court

222
00:30:43,172 --> 00:30:45,297
by declaring,

223
00:30:45,422 --> 00:30:46,464
"Sir,

224
00:30:46,589 --> 00:30:51,464
e (exponent) ip + 1 = 0

225
00:30:52,881 --> 00:30:54,673
"Therefore, God exists!"

226
00:30:57,090 --> 00:30:59,090
Niv, Niv, Niv...

227
00:31:13,673 --> 00:31:16,214
Hello. Do you speak French?

228
00:31:16,339 --> 00:31:18,214
Of course. Can I help you?

229
00:31:18,339 --> 00:31:21,214
I'm looking for someone
who might know this woman.

230
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,006
She studied here about 35 years ago.

231
00:31:27,256 --> 00:31:29,881
You're kidding, right?
I wasn't born.

232
00:31:30,214 --> 00:31:31,213
I can't help...

233
00:31:31,297 --> 00:31:34,756
I'm not kidding.
You must know someone who can help.

234
00:31:34,881 --> 00:31:37,339
I've travelled too far. Please.

235
00:31:37,631 --> 00:31:39,589
Her name is Nawal Marwan.

236
00:31:49,339 --> 00:31:51,172
You're kind.

237
00:31:51,297 --> 00:31:53,798
No, I want to get rid of you.

238
00:31:53,923 --> 00:31:55,548
Najat, it's me.

239
00:31:56,339 --> 00:31:58,006
Got any time to waste?

240
00:31:59,756 --> 00:32:02,006
She looks familiar.

241
00:32:02,131 --> 00:32:06,090
Perhaps she worked
on the student newspaper.

242
00:32:07,548 --> 00:32:09,172
That was long ago.

243
00:32:11,673 --> 00:32:15,131
The people who left
changed their identity.

244
00:32:18,297 --> 00:32:19,798
But it's striking.

245
00:32:31,422 --> 00:32:35,422
The photograph of your mother
was taken in Kfar Ryat.

246
00:32:36,214 --> 00:32:37,506
Look here.

247
00:32:38,506 --> 00:32:41,256
It's the sign for Kfar Ryat.

248
00:32:42,256 --> 00:32:45,131
It's a prison in the South.

249
00:32:49,881 --> 00:32:51,881
You don't know of Kfar Ryat?

250
00:32:52,006 --> 00:32:53,090
No.

251
00:32:53,214 --> 00:32:56,297
Then you're definitely not from here.

252
00:32:57,506 --> 00:32:59,297
You don't know the South.

253
00:33:33,381 --> 00:33:35,256
If the international community

254
00:33:36,548 --> 00:33:39,297
does not intervene immediately,

255
00:33:40,673 --> 00:33:42,172
the refugees...

256
00:33:43,631 --> 00:33:48,548
crammed into camps along the border...

257
00:33:51,548 --> 00:33:53,006
She's here.

258
00:33:55,131 --> 00:33:57,381
We students oppose
the Nationalist Party

259
00:33:57,506 --> 00:34:00,131
and expelling the refugees in the South.

260
00:34:00,256 --> 00:34:03,048
The Nationalists
support the Christian right,

261
00:34:03,172 --> 00:34:05,339
who openly threaten the refugees.

262
00:34:05,464 --> 00:34:08,131
The refugees are armed and...

263
00:34:09,506 --> 00:34:13,714
have the support of most of
the Muslims in this country.

264
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,297
But you yourself are Christian.

265
00:34:18,006 --> 00:34:21,297
We stand for peace.
This is not about religion.

266
00:34:31,506 --> 00:34:32,505
Nawal!

267
00:34:33,214 --> 00:34:35,756
The radio! They shut the university!

268
00:34:35,881 --> 00:34:38,464
The Nationalists closed down the campus!

269
00:34:54,006 --> 00:34:55,631
Nawal, come back!

270
00:34:56,422 --> 00:34:58,048
Stay here!

271
00:35:00,881 --> 00:35:03,589
Uncle Charbel, they shut the campus!

272
00:35:03,714 --> 00:35:07,840
There will be fighting.

273
00:35:07,965 --> 00:35:10,006
I want you to stay with me.

274
00:35:28,631 --> 00:35:29,840
There's gunfire.

275
00:35:32,506 --> 00:35:33,881
Girls, come eat!

276
00:35:34,006 --> 00:35:35,798
Mom, they attacked the university!

277
00:35:35,923 --> 00:35:38,339
That's no reason not to eat.

278
00:36:18,339 --> 00:36:21,297
Christian villages in the South
were attacked.

279
00:36:22,090 --> 00:36:23,673
God help us!

280
00:36:23,798 --> 00:36:26,172
That's why they shut the university.

281
00:36:26,297 --> 00:36:29,464
It won't be long
before it blows up here too.

282
00:36:31,381 --> 00:36:35,714
We'll go to the mountains
until things calm down.

283
00:36:36,756 --> 00:36:38,506
For how long?

284
00:36:38,631 --> 00:36:40,214
We go tomorrow.

285
00:36:40,923 --> 00:36:43,339
The rest of the family is already there.

286
00:36:43,464 --> 00:36:45,548
What about school?

287
00:36:45,881 --> 00:36:48,048
The schools will close anyway.

288
00:36:49,297 --> 00:36:50,673
God only knows until when.

289
00:36:51,548 --> 00:36:53,297
And the newspaper?

290
00:36:53,422 --> 00:36:54,881
Don't worry.

291
00:36:55,673 --> 00:36:58,339
The paper can survive without us
for a while.

292
00:36:59,131 --> 00:37:02,381
Ideas only survive
if we're there to defend them!

293
00:37:02,506 --> 00:37:04,172
Exactly, Rafqa.

294
00:37:05,339 --> 00:37:06,631
Exactly.

295
00:37:18,381 --> 00:37:21,090
There are two orphanages there.

296
00:37:21,214 --> 00:37:22,840
I'll come later on foot.

297
00:37:23,589 --> 00:37:25,214
You're not going there now!

298
00:37:27,965 --> 00:37:30,548
You promised Grandma...
- You heard your dad.

299
00:37:32,214 --> 00:37:35,381
If they attack the camps,
the country's lost.

300
00:37:35,506 --> 00:37:37,131
School's finished.

301
00:37:41,923 --> 00:37:43,548
I think of him every day.

302
00:37:44,172 --> 00:37:45,714
He's my child.

303
00:37:46,881 --> 00:37:48,840
I want to find him.

304
00:38:09,297 --> 00:38:11,881
I'm going to Shadia's for water.

305
00:38:12,006 --> 00:38:14,172
Make it quick, Nawal.

306
00:40:13,881 --> 00:40:15,714
Name?
- Nawal.

307
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,214
Nawal what?
- Nawal Marwan.

308
00:40:18,881 --> 00:40:20,381
Where are you going?

309
00:40:20,506 --> 00:40:21,505
The South.

310
00:40:21,589 --> 00:40:22,588
Why?

311
00:40:23,381 --> 00:40:25,131
To join my husband.

312
00:42:47,006 --> 00:42:48,381
Wahab.

313
00:43:15,131 --> 00:43:17,464
"It's always been a girls" orphanage?

314
00:43:18,090 --> 00:43:20,673
The boys moved to Kfar Khout 3 years ago.

315
00:43:23,297 --> 00:43:26,339
Come with us.
Kfar Khout was attacked yesterday.

316
00:44:56,506 --> 00:44:59,881
I'm looking for the orphanage.
Do you know where it is?

317
00:45:00,589 --> 00:45:01,589
There.

318
00:45:02,422 --> 00:45:05,506
The children!
Where are the children?

319
00:45:06,506 --> 00:45:08,840
Ask someone who was there.

320
00:45:09,339 --> 00:45:14,297
The Muslim villagers have fled
to the camp in Deressa.

321
00:45:14,422 --> 00:45:17,506
They fear the reprisals
that'll come.

322
00:45:18,131 --> 00:45:21,297
Maybe the children are with them.

323
00:45:22,673 --> 00:45:28,297
Chamseddine and his men killed all
the Christians to avenge the refugees.

324
00:45:30,923 --> 00:45:34,673
Maybe the children are in Deressa.

325
00:46:58,131 --> 00:47:00,006
Are you going to Deressa?

326
00:51:02,923 --> 00:51:04,339
I'm Christian.

327
00:51:16,381 --> 00:51:18,881
My daughter! My daughter!

328
00:53:38,506 --> 00:53:42,881
THE SOUTH

329
00:54:55,339 --> 00:54:56,798
Hi, Simon. It's me.

330
00:54:56,923 --> 00:54:59,756
I'm in Mom's village.
I wish you were here.

331
00:54:59,881 --> 00:55:00,881
Listen.

332
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:03,214
I told you never to come back here!

333
00:56:06,548 --> 00:56:07,547
Hello.

334
00:56:08,631 --> 00:56:09,756
Souha?

335
00:56:13,339 --> 00:56:16,048
Ahmed loves you!
Ahmed loves you!

336
00:56:22,381 --> 00:56:24,131
I told you to stop saying that!

337
00:56:26,464 --> 00:56:27,464
Hello.

338
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,048
Can I help you?

339
00:56:33,381 --> 00:56:34,381
Hello.

340
00:56:35,673 --> 00:56:39,798
Does anyone speak French or English?

341
00:56:40,673 --> 00:56:42,256
Where's Samia?

342
00:57:24,631 --> 00:57:25,630
Thank you.

343
00:57:41,381 --> 00:57:42,673
You speak French?

344
00:57:42,965 --> 00:57:44,589
Yes. Hello.

345
00:57:44,714 --> 00:57:45,714
Hello.

346
00:57:46,631 --> 00:57:48,381
My name is Samia.

347
00:57:49,714 --> 00:57:51,256
I'm Jeanne Marwan.

348
00:57:51,756 --> 00:57:52,881
Thanks for helping.

349
00:57:53,006 --> 00:57:56,048
Marwan?
There are lots of Marwans here.

350
00:57:56,714 --> 00:57:57,714
Really?

351
00:57:59,464 --> 00:58:01,006
I'm from Canada.

352
00:58:02,589 --> 00:58:04,256
I'm looking for Souha.

353
00:58:05,006 --> 00:58:06,923
Souha? That's her.

354
00:58:07,048 --> 00:58:09,339
She's my great-grandmother.

355
00:58:18,923 --> 00:58:21,589
The grocer at the corner
gave me your name.

356
00:58:28,506 --> 00:58:31,589
I'm looking for my father.
His name is Wahab.

357
00:58:39,256 --> 00:58:41,339
My mother was Nawal Marwan.

358
00:58:43,297 --> 00:58:44,756
She was born here.

359
00:58:51,714 --> 00:58:53,297
We don't know her.

360
00:58:54,548 --> 00:58:55,923
Yes, we know her.

361
00:59:02,297 --> 00:59:05,339
Her mother is a disgrace!

362
00:59:19,297 --> 00:59:23,048
The Marwan family
was struck by disgrace.

363
00:59:23,631 --> 00:59:25,339
The war came.

364
00:59:31,256 --> 00:59:32,798
I'm looking for Wahab.

365
00:59:36,548 --> 00:59:38,464
She doesn't know Wahab.

366
00:59:42,631 --> 00:59:47,339
I can't help you. I'm sorry, I'm tired.

367
00:59:56,548 --> 01:00:00,631
If you are the daughter
of Nawal Marwan...

368
01:00:01,631 --> 01:00:04,756
you are not welcome here.

369
01:00:04,881 --> 01:00:06,464
Go home.

370
01:00:10,673 --> 01:00:12,589
You're looking for your father,

371
01:00:12,965 --> 01:00:15,673
but you don't know
who your mother is.

372
01:02:49,256 --> 01:02:52,422
I arrived after the massacre
at the Deressa camp.

373
01:02:54,297 --> 01:02:55,840
Everything was smoldering.

374
01:02:58,214 --> 01:03:00,464
I searched for my son
among pools of blood.

375
01:03:02,214 --> 01:03:05,673
I never want to forget
what I saw and heard.

376
01:03:06,756 --> 01:03:08,756
You say you oppose our enemy.

377
01:03:09,756 --> 01:03:13,214
That does not make you our friend.

378
01:03:14,339 --> 01:03:16,714
Why should Chamseddine trust you?

379
01:03:18,339 --> 01:03:20,756
My son's father was a Deressa refugee.

380
01:03:20,881 --> 01:03:22,923
My son was swallowed by the war.

381
01:03:24,422 --> 01:03:26,214
I have nothing left to lose.

382
01:03:28,090 --> 01:03:30,548
I have only hatred for the Nationalists.

383
01:03:32,381 --> 01:03:35,631
That's not what
you wrote in Charbel's newspaper.

384
01:03:36,881 --> 01:03:41,048
My uncle believed that his words
and books would promote peace.

385
01:03:43,006 --> 01:03:44,256
I believed him.

386
01:03:46,673 --> 01:03:48,673
Life taught me otherwise.

387
01:03:51,422 --> 01:03:53,131
What do you want now?

388
01:03:55,923 --> 01:03:59,464
To teach the enemy
what life has taught me.

389
01:04:53,673 --> 01:04:54,756
Very good.

390
01:04:55,548 --> 01:04:58,006
Very good. You just forgot this.

391
01:05:03,589 --> 01:05:05,506
How's the French?

392
01:05:06,756 --> 01:05:09,548
I am much gooder, Dad.

393
01:05:09,798 --> 01:05:13,297
The comparative of "good" is "better,"
darling.

394
01:05:16,923 --> 01:05:19,714
I want my son to speak
several languages.

395
01:05:20,048 --> 01:05:22,714
So he can understand
without an intermediary.

396
01:05:48,048 --> 01:05:49,048
Nawal here.

397
01:05:49,172 --> 01:05:51,422
How are you, Nawal?
This is Nouchine.

398
01:05:53,006 --> 01:05:55,923
Good evening, Nouchine.
How is your mother?

399
01:05:56,548 --> 01:05:59,673
My mother is very well.
Tomorrow at 10 a.m.

400
01:06:02,548 --> 01:06:03,714
Tomorrow it is.

401
01:07:20,339 --> 01:07:21,548
Hey, lovely.

402
01:07:21,673 --> 01:07:22,798
Good morning.

403
01:07:23,256 --> 01:07:25,006
Will you go out with us Thursday?

404
01:07:25,131 --> 01:07:26,130
No.

405
01:07:26,965 --> 01:07:28,131
Friday?
- No.

406
01:07:29,048 --> 01:07:31,006
Saturday?
- No.

407
01:07:33,172 --> 01:07:35,297
We're patient!

408
01:07:35,589 --> 01:07:36,840
So am I.

409
01:07:50,422 --> 01:07:53,548
Don't forget.
"Always" always takes an S.

410
01:08:55,923 --> 01:08:57,048
Goddamn whore!

411
01:10:39,631 --> 01:10:44,006
Amnesty International repeatedly
condemned the Kfar Ryat prison.

412
01:10:53,381 --> 01:10:55,090
This is the women's section.

413
01:10:56,923 --> 01:10:58,422
The cells are bigger.

414
01:10:59,256 --> 01:11:01,297
Some prisoners
were kept for 15 years.

415
01:11:11,464 --> 01:11:13,006
When was it built?

416
01:11:13,131 --> 01:11:14,422
After the massacres.

417
01:11:14,798 --> 01:11:16,548
Right after war started.

418
01:11:17,048 --> 01:11:19,422
They jailed 600 political prisoners.

419
01:11:22,506 --> 01:11:24,798
You can go in.
I'll take a picture.

420
01:11:37,339 --> 01:11:38,840
Do you know her?

421
01:11:41,631 --> 01:11:42,923
It was taken here.

422
01:11:45,090 --> 01:11:48,297
I don't know her.
That was a long time ago, so me...

423
01:11:48,422 --> 01:11:50,589
Do you know anyone
who worked here?

424
01:12:31,256 --> 01:12:32,422
Hello.

425
01:12:39,631 --> 01:12:40,840
Hello.

426
01:12:44,339 --> 01:12:46,756
I'm looking for Fahim Harrsa.

427
01:12:51,048 --> 01:12:53,172
I'm the school janitor.

428
01:12:54,256 --> 01:12:55,798
Yes, but before?

429
01:12:55,923 --> 01:12:56,923
Before?

430
01:12:58,297 --> 01:13:00,756
That was before I was school janitor.

431
01:13:01,381 --> 01:13:04,631
I've been the school janitor
a long time.

432
01:13:06,756 --> 01:13:08,464
Do you know this woman?

433
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:10,631
She was in Kfar Ryat.

434
01:13:13,548 --> 01:13:16,090
I'm the school janitor.
End of story.

435
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:21,756
I need someone who knew her...

436
01:13:22,673 --> 01:13:24,339
who can tell me about her.

437
01:13:26,923 --> 01:13:28,214
She's my mother.

438
01:13:31,923 --> 01:13:33,798
She's the Woman who Sings.

439
01:13:33,923 --> 01:13:35,589
Number 72.

440
01:13:38,339 --> 01:13:41,548
She shot the leader
of the right-wing Christian militias.

441
01:13:43,256 --> 01:13:45,172
They made her pay a high price.

442
01:13:45,714 --> 01:13:47,422
Very high.

443
01:13:47,881 --> 01:13:48,923
15 years.

444
01:13:53,756 --> 01:13:55,297
"The Woman who Sings."

445
01:13:56,172 --> 01:13:57,714
She sang all the time.

446
01:13:58,881 --> 01:14:00,464
You're sure it's her?

447
01:14:02,381 --> 01:14:04,673
I spent 13 years watching her.

448
01:14:07,297 --> 01:14:10,923
Have you ever spent 13 years
watching someone?

449
01:14:14,256 --> 01:14:16,714
They did everything to break her.

450
01:14:18,548 --> 01:14:22,090
At the end she still stood tall

451
01:14:22,422 --> 01:14:24,422
and looked them in the eye.

452
01:14:27,381 --> 01:14:28,548
Never seen anyone like her.

453
01:14:28,673 --> 01:14:30,589
She wouldn't break.

454
01:14:31,548 --> 01:14:33,256
They were enraged.

455
01:14:40,464 --> 01:14:42,965
So they sent Abou Tarek.

456
01:14:43,090 --> 01:14:44,214
Who's that?

457
01:14:54,339 --> 01:14:55,756
Abou Tarek.

458
01:14:57,631 --> 01:15:00,214
You know, sometimes

459
01:15:00,339 --> 01:15:03,214
it's better not to know.

460
01:15:03,798 --> 01:15:06,048
I live with it anyway.

461
01:15:06,798 --> 01:15:07,923
Go on.

462
01:15:09,923 --> 01:15:11,548
Abou Tarek...

463
01:15:12,548 --> 01:15:15,589
Abou Tarek was a torture specialist.

464
01:15:16,464 --> 01:15:18,714
He raped her again and again.

465
01:15:19,548 --> 01:15:22,172
To break her before her release.

466
01:15:22,506 --> 01:15:24,464
So she'd stop singing.

467
01:15:28,090 --> 01:15:29,464
In the end

468
01:15:29,965 --> 01:15:31,840
she became pregnant.

469
01:15:33,172 --> 01:15:36,339
It was like that. I'll never forget.

470
01:15:36,923 --> 01:15:40,881
72. Made pregnant by Abou Tarek.

471
01:15:43,048 --> 01:15:45,172
They waited until

472
01:15:45,297 --> 01:15:46,965
she gave birth in prison.

473
01:15:47,714 --> 01:15:50,339
Then they let her go.

474
01:15:53,714 --> 01:15:55,006
The baby?

475
01:15:55,131 --> 01:15:56,631
Did you see the baby?

476
01:15:58,714 --> 01:16:01,965
There was a doctor
who sometimes came.

477
01:16:02,965 --> 01:16:04,798
I believe he went crazy.

478
01:16:05,631 --> 01:16:08,589
Others say he has a restaurant
in Tel Aviv.

479
01:16:10,881 --> 01:16:14,881
That's bullshit.
He went crazy or else he died.

480
01:16:15,756 --> 01:16:19,214
Now, the nurse... I know her.

481
01:16:19,339 --> 01:16:20,589
She lives in Daresh.

482
01:16:24,048 --> 01:16:25,172
In Daresh.

483
01:16:33,881 --> 01:16:37,756
Listen, Simon. I don't give a shit.
Just shut up!

484
01:16:38,172 --> 01:16:39,714
Mom was in prison.

485
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:41,756
Simon, Mom...

486
01:16:42,756 --> 01:16:44,464
Mom was raped.

487
01:16:46,297 --> 01:16:48,256
She had our brother in jail.

488
01:16:49,881 --> 01:16:51,548
I need you.

489
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:13,631
THE WOMAN WHO SINGS

490
01:19:50,756 --> 01:19:52,798
The contracts of Notary Amyott.

491
01:19:53,006 --> 01:19:55,756
From 1868-1892.

492
01:19:55,881 --> 01:19:58,172
His son, Edouard, took over until 1925.

493
01:19:58,297 --> 01:19:59,631
All handwritten.

494
01:20:00,714 --> 01:20:02,006
My grandfather, Charles.

495
01:20:02,589 --> 01:20:03,756
My father, Henri.

496
01:20:04,506 --> 01:20:05,505
And me.

497
01:20:05,965 --> 01:20:08,881
The end, because
I'm the last of the Lebels.

498
01:20:10,506 --> 01:20:13,131
I'll show you the will of a man...

499
01:20:15,714 --> 01:20:17,339
who led parallel lives.

500
01:20:20,464 --> 01:20:23,214
Turned out he had three wives.

501
01:20:23,464 --> 01:20:24,506
Here,

502
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,798
in Miami and in Honduras,
where he did business.

503
01:20:28,756 --> 01:20:29,798
So now,

504
01:20:31,090 --> 01:20:33,256
it's not 3 children involved,

505
01:20:33,381 --> 01:20:36,214
but 8.
That was fun, believe you me!

506
01:20:38,172 --> 01:20:39,172
Look.

507
01:20:42,048 --> 01:20:44,548
Death is never the end of the story.

508
01:20:44,673 --> 01:20:46,756
It always leaves tracks.

509
01:20:48,965 --> 01:20:52,506
To find your brother,
you have to retrace your mom's past.

510
01:20:53,214 --> 01:20:56,673
Jean, I want to find my sister.
That's all.

511
01:20:56,798 --> 01:20:58,131
I'm on it.

512
01:20:58,256 --> 01:21:00,923
I have a few quick things to wrap up.

513
01:21:01,881 --> 01:21:03,840
Pack your stuff. We'll leave in...

514
01:21:04,714 --> 01:21:05,840
My passport!

515
01:21:06,548 --> 01:21:07,547
We?

516
01:21:08,714 --> 01:21:10,422
Haven't you done enough?

517
01:21:10,548 --> 01:21:12,589
Exactly. I can't pull out now.

518
01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:16,464
Grow up, Simon.

519
01:21:17,756 --> 01:21:19,464
I know you need me.

520
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:23,631
We find her and come back.

521
01:21:23,756 --> 01:21:24,755
Promise.

522
01:21:25,422 --> 01:21:28,006
For a notary, Mr Marwan, a promise

523
01:21:28,131 --> 01:21:30,048
is sacred.

524
01:24:25,006 --> 01:24:27,464
Now sing.

525
01:25:35,131 --> 01:25:37,506
That's it. That's it.

526
01:25:39,297 --> 01:25:40,881
The baby's coming.

527
01:25:41,006 --> 01:25:42,714
I can see its head.

528
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:43,923
Push.

529
01:25:44,923 --> 01:25:47,548
Go on, dear.

530
01:25:54,673 --> 01:25:56,214
The first one is out.

531
01:26:17,131 --> 01:26:20,422
Rest a bit now.

532
01:26:21,297 --> 01:26:22,840
I'm proud of you.

533
01:26:24,548 --> 01:26:26,673
Get ready for the second.

534
01:26:56,256 --> 01:26:57,464
Stop.

535
01:26:57,589 --> 01:26:59,006
Give.

536
01:27:00,131 --> 01:27:01,256
What are you doing?

537
01:27:01,381 --> 01:27:03,798
You threw them in the river like always.

538
01:27:05,339 --> 01:27:06,673
It's dangerous.
- No.

539
01:27:06,881 --> 01:27:10,881
You did your duty.
You threw them in the river.

540
01:27:11,006 --> 01:27:12,506
I'll look after them.

541
01:27:12,631 --> 01:27:15,464
They're the babies
of the Woman who Sings.

542
01:27:36,256 --> 01:27:39,090
We are a battlefield
for other countries.

543
01:27:39,214 --> 01:27:42,881
Imagine if there'd been notaries
back in Noah's day.

544
01:27:43,297 --> 01:27:46,297
We'd only have to look up
the property deeds.

545
01:27:46,422 --> 01:27:49,048
This is your land. This is your land.

546
01:27:49,506 --> 01:27:51,214
The right of way...

547
01:27:51,339 --> 01:27:53,422
Done. Everyone's happy.

548
01:27:54,172 --> 01:27:56,172
Notaries only began 1000 years ago.

549
01:27:56,297 --> 01:27:57,756
That's the problem.

550
01:27:58,339 --> 01:27:59,923
We should've been there day one.

551
01:28:01,714 --> 01:28:03,714
Thank you again for your help.

552
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:05,756
It's my pleasure, dear colleague.

553
01:28:05,881 --> 01:28:09,589
I have the information
you requested by email.

554
01:28:09,714 --> 01:28:12,756
Simon, my briefcase is right beside you.

555
01:28:12,881 --> 01:28:14,923
Would you please hand it to Mr Lebel?

556
01:28:16,548 --> 01:28:19,297
You're very kind, but with the jetlag,

557
01:28:19,422 --> 01:28:20,923
we'll look at it later.

558
01:28:21,048 --> 01:28:22,131
In brief,

559
01:28:22,256 --> 01:28:26,048
for the father it's complicated.
There's no death certificate.

560
01:28:26,172 --> 01:28:29,048
For the brother...
- Excuse me, what's this about?

561
01:28:30,589 --> 01:28:32,464
I asked for help, Simon.

562
01:28:32,589 --> 01:28:35,256
Mr Maddad agreed, to speed things up.

563
01:28:36,589 --> 01:28:38,923
I told you, we're here to find Jeanne.

564
01:28:41,006 --> 01:28:44,381
Your sister's the easiest
family member to find.

565
01:28:51,798 --> 01:28:53,381
I'm so happy you're here.

566
01:28:54,339 --> 01:28:55,338
Me too.

567
01:29:03,506 --> 01:29:06,339
The nurse who helped Mom
deliver in jail...

568
01:29:06,881 --> 01:29:08,673
We can go see her today.

569
01:29:09,798 --> 01:29:11,923
Jeanne, it's enough.

570
01:29:14,131 --> 01:29:16,464
Just shut up and come with me.

571
01:29:17,172 --> 01:29:19,673
It's your job to find our brother.

572
01:29:19,798 --> 01:29:22,673
If not for her or yourself,
do it for me.

573
01:29:29,339 --> 01:29:30,965
She's in hospital.

574
01:29:37,006 --> 01:29:38,714
I'm glad you're here.

575
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:41,048
Me too, dear. Me too.

576
01:29:42,256 --> 01:29:44,381
If she's sleeping,
you'll come back.

577
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:10,381
Mrs Manka?

578
01:30:42,589 --> 01:30:43,588
Hello, madame.

579
01:30:44,172 --> 01:30:45,548
Thanks for seeing us.

580
01:30:46,256 --> 01:30:48,256
It's about someone you knew.

581
01:30:48,631 --> 01:30:50,714
You know Nawal Marwan?

582
01:31:19,631 --> 01:31:22,422
You were a nurse at Kfar Ryat?

583
01:31:36,339 --> 01:31:38,589
She says she knew your mother.

584
01:31:39,589 --> 01:31:41,881
You helped our mother give birth?

585
01:31:54,714 --> 01:31:58,297
Madame, we're looking
for the child she had in jail.

586
01:31:58,422 --> 01:31:59,548
Can you help us?

587
01:32:04,464 --> 01:32:06,798
She worked in Kfar Ryat prison.

588
01:32:07,714 --> 01:32:09,965
She assisted her during delivery.

589
01:32:12,006 --> 01:32:13,965
She safeguarded the babies.

590
01:32:21,214 --> 01:32:24,673
And returned them to the Woman
who Sings upon her release.

591
01:32:24,798 --> 01:32:28,464
Sarwan! Janaan!
- Nawal Marwan had twins.

592
01:36:43,840 --> 01:36:45,881
You really knew the Woman Who Sings?

593
01:36:47,048 --> 01:36:49,131
You don't know what it means for me.

594
01:36:50,798 --> 01:36:53,422
Nawal Marwan worked 18 years for me.

595
01:36:53,631 --> 01:36:54,923
As my secretary.

596
01:36:55,297 --> 01:36:58,256
My wife and I were fond
of her and her children.

597
01:36:59,048 --> 01:37:02,673
But I realize I didn't really
know her after all.

598
01:37:05,881 --> 01:37:07,631
Ready?
- Ready.

599
01:37:23,256 --> 01:37:25,881
At my request,
Mr Maddad did research.

600
01:37:26,006 --> 01:37:28,464
To find your brother and father.

601
01:37:34,714 --> 01:37:38,381
For the father, Abou Tarek,
there's no death certificate.

602
01:37:38,673 --> 01:37:41,048
Many in this country disappeared.

603
01:37:41,714 --> 01:37:45,756
He may have gone abroad.
That's what his kind often did.

604
01:37:46,131 --> 01:37:49,131
They're either dead or they left.

605
01:37:49,256 --> 01:37:50,548
Wait and see.

606
01:37:50,673 --> 01:37:51,840
Maybe this is best.

607
01:37:53,631 --> 01:37:54,923
For the brother...

608
01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:58,673
Your client, Mrs Nawal Marwan,

609
01:37:58,798 --> 01:38:00,548
is from the village of Der Om.

610
01:38:01,673 --> 01:38:04,965
She gave the child
to a midwife named Elham,

611
01:38:05,090 --> 01:38:08,090
who placed him
at the Kfar Khout orphanage

612
01:38:08,214 --> 01:38:11,297
in May 1970.

613
01:38:12,673 --> 01:38:15,172
It was hard to locate the registries.

614
01:38:15,297 --> 01:38:18,589
Many documents
were destroyed in the war.

615
01:38:18,714 --> 01:38:22,006
But I finally turned up the registries.

616
01:38:22,131 --> 01:38:25,714
The Sisters of Charity
collected and donated them

617
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:27,506
to the National Archives.

618
01:38:28,297 --> 01:38:30,881
In May 1970,

619
01:38:31,006 --> 01:38:33,506
the midwife of Der Om, Elham,

620
01:38:33,965 --> 01:38:36,381
gave up a male child for adoption.

621
01:38:36,506 --> 01:38:39,339
The only boy placed
at the orphanage that month.

622
01:38:40,339 --> 01:38:44,506
Look, he was registered
under the first name of Nihad.

623
01:38:46,214 --> 01:38:47,422
The dates match.

624
01:38:48,673 --> 01:38:49,756
It's him.

625
01:38:51,714 --> 01:38:53,756
He's your brother. Nihad.

626
01:38:57,673 --> 01:39:00,131
Kfar Khout orphanage.

627
01:39:00,256 --> 01:39:04,172
Nihad of May.
That was his name for the records.

628
01:39:04,297 --> 01:39:06,006
Nihad of the month of May.

629
01:39:06,131 --> 01:39:09,297
The month of arrival
was a temporary surname.

630
01:39:10,214 --> 01:39:14,256
There were no adoptions at the time.
The war had started.

631
01:39:14,965 --> 01:39:17,048
In 1974 the orphanage was destroyed.

632
01:39:18,923 --> 01:39:21,589
We must ask who destroyed Kfar Khout

633
01:39:21,714 --> 01:39:24,798
to learn what happened to the children.

634
01:39:26,548 --> 01:39:30,339
Between you and me,
given what occurred in the region,

635
01:39:30,464 --> 01:39:32,172
there's little hope.

636
01:39:34,256 --> 01:39:35,714
He's probably dead too.

637
01:39:36,923 --> 01:39:40,090
I didn't say dead.
I said we lost his trace.

638
01:39:42,214 --> 01:39:43,714
They're both dead.

639
01:39:44,756 --> 01:39:46,339
We open the letters. Finished.

640
01:39:46,464 --> 01:39:50,214
I won't allow it.
This kind of thing is sacred.

641
01:39:51,256 --> 01:39:53,048
It would be like a rape.

642
01:39:54,172 --> 01:39:56,048
Great, it runs in the family.

643
01:39:59,464 --> 01:40:00,589
Sorry.

644
01:40:03,256 --> 01:40:04,798
There's one path left,

645
01:40:05,506 --> 01:40:08,090
but it's somewhat radical.

646
01:40:09,214 --> 01:40:13,048
The warlord who razed the orphanage
is still alive.

647
01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:16,923
He may know what happened
to Nihad and the others.

648
01:40:17,048 --> 01:40:18,589
It's been an eternity.

649
01:40:19,756 --> 01:40:24,131
You must understand,
those years saw a series of reprisals

650
01:40:24,256 --> 01:40:27,631
that set off each other
with merciless logic.

651
01:40:28,214 --> 01:40:29,714
Like an equation.

652
01:40:32,006 --> 01:40:35,840
A warlord is precisely the kind of man
with a long memory.

653
01:40:35,965 --> 01:40:38,297
He'll remember, believe me.

654
01:40:40,048 --> 01:40:43,214
Wallat Chamseddine.
That's his name.

655
01:40:47,506 --> 01:40:48,714
Where do we find him?

656
01:40:49,631 --> 01:40:51,756
You don't find him, he finds you.

657
01:40:55,048 --> 01:40:57,048
We can try something.

658
01:40:59,214 --> 01:41:01,506
Do you like tea, Mr Marwan?

659
01:41:06,297 --> 01:41:07,714
It's your turn.

660
01:41:11,131 --> 01:41:14,256
You'll travel to
the Deressa refugee camp.

661
01:41:14,881 --> 01:41:16,381
You'll drink tea.

662
01:41:16,506 --> 01:41:20,214
With whomever invites you.
You'll tell them

663
01:41:20,339 --> 01:41:24,756
you're the son of the Woman who Sings.
You're looking for Nihad of May.

664
01:41:25,756 --> 01:41:27,381
You can't go alone.

665
01:41:29,090 --> 01:41:32,006
I'll find someone to accompany you.

666
01:41:54,381 --> 01:41:56,048
Welcome to Deressa.

667
01:43:05,214 --> 01:43:06,589
Know where we're going?

668
01:43:06,714 --> 01:43:07,965
No idea.

669
01:43:34,631 --> 01:43:35,798
How are you?

670
01:43:37,090 --> 01:43:38,881
Look, you're a grown man!

671
01:43:39,006 --> 01:43:41,840
I finished my engineering degree.

672
01:43:41,965 --> 01:43:46,589
I can't find work, so I drive a taxi.

673
01:43:46,714 --> 01:43:48,840
What brings you here?

674
01:43:48,965 --> 01:43:53,965
I'm with some foreign visitors
who asked me to bring them here.

675
01:43:55,840 --> 01:43:57,798
Welcome. Come.

676
01:43:57,923 --> 01:44:00,172
No, thank you. We're short of time.

677
01:44:00,297 --> 01:44:02,048
Please, come.

678
01:44:07,131 --> 01:44:09,756
He's inviting us for tea.

679
01:44:09,881 --> 01:44:10,880
OK.

680
01:44:29,506 --> 01:44:32,214
He asked me
why you came to Deressa.

681
01:44:35,506 --> 01:44:37,589
To find someone, Nihad of May.

682
01:44:47,673 --> 01:44:49,631
He doesn't know a Nihad of May.

683
01:44:50,631 --> 01:44:53,131
He asks what your name is.

684
01:45:01,297 --> 01:45:03,965
My mother's from Der Om in the South.

685
01:45:17,090 --> 01:45:18,923
My mother's the Woman who Sings.

686
01:45:44,339 --> 01:45:45,714
Yeah, it's done.

687
01:45:51,673 --> 01:45:52,965
Wait for what?

688
01:46:26,589 --> 01:46:27,714
Sarwan Marwan?

689
01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:28,881
Yes.

690
01:46:29,006 --> 01:46:30,840
We've come to offer our help.

691
01:46:31,631 --> 01:46:33,172
You'll be back in an hour.

692
01:46:34,965 --> 01:46:37,798
Can I tell my sister?
- No, only an hour.

693
01:46:37,923 --> 01:46:39,090
That's a promise.

694
01:46:40,798 --> 01:46:42,631
I'll put on a shirt. One sec.

695
01:46:45,965 --> 01:46:47,381
He's calling.

696
01:46:47,506 --> 01:46:49,172
That's OK.

697
01:46:49,589 --> 01:46:52,840
Already?
Don't worry, you can go with them.

698
01:46:52,965 --> 01:46:56,006
In the South, one spark
sets everything off.

699
01:46:56,214 --> 01:46:57,214
Alright.

700
01:48:11,923 --> 01:48:15,172
You helped us.
Now it's our turn to help you.

701
01:48:16,631 --> 01:48:18,214
You'll leave the country.

702
01:48:18,339 --> 01:48:20,048
It will be simpler.

703
01:48:20,172 --> 01:48:22,714
We'll find you a home and a job.

704
01:48:23,631 --> 01:48:26,589
I want you to have a better life.

705
01:48:28,381 --> 01:48:31,090
We have many contacts in America.

706
01:48:33,131 --> 01:48:35,090
You must go with your children.

707
01:48:35,631 --> 01:48:38,589
I know they're alive.
Take them with you.

708
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:45,756
Your children will help you,
you'll see.

709
01:48:52,090 --> 01:48:55,090
You can't ask that of me.

710
01:48:57,006 --> 01:48:59,381
Your children are our children.

711
01:48:59,506 --> 01:49:01,589
Your family is our family.

712
01:49:02,131 --> 01:49:03,256
Trust me.

713
01:49:04,589 --> 01:49:07,214
I will help you.

714
01:49:07,965 --> 01:49:11,090
I will always be there
for you and your children.

715
01:50:00,256 --> 01:50:01,631
Hello, Sarwan.

716
01:50:04,131 --> 01:50:07,798
Forgive the precautions,
but it's for your protection.

717
01:50:09,881 --> 01:50:12,548
I am called Wallat Chamseddine.

718
01:50:15,214 --> 01:50:16,714
Tell me,

719
01:50:16,840 --> 01:50:19,339
how can I help you,
Sarwan Marwan?

720
01:50:21,422 --> 01:50:22,798
You knew my mother?

721
01:50:23,673 --> 01:50:25,631
Let's say she worked for me.

722
01:50:27,172 --> 01:50:28,965
How can I help you?

723
01:50:32,881 --> 01:50:35,840
I'm looking for a man
named Nihad of May.

724
01:50:37,214 --> 01:50:39,422
Why do you want Nihad of May?

725
01:50:41,381 --> 01:50:45,048
He's my brother.
My mother asked me to find him.

726
01:50:46,840 --> 01:50:51,381
How can you say that Nihad of May
is the son of Nawal Marwan?

727
01:50:54,506 --> 01:50:58,172
My brother was placed
at the Kfar Khout orphanage.

728
01:50:59,798 --> 01:51:02,131
We found the birth records.

729
01:51:03,548 --> 01:51:05,339
The dates, everything fits.

730
01:51:05,881 --> 01:51:07,923
Nihad of May is my brother.

731
01:51:50,881 --> 01:51:54,840
My friends and I attacked
the Christians of Kfar Khout

732
01:51:56,131 --> 01:52:00,256
to avenge the aggressions
against our brother refugees.

733
01:52:02,589 --> 01:52:05,339
There was an orphanage in Kfar Khout.

734
01:52:06,381 --> 01:52:08,172
I spared the children

735
01:52:08,297 --> 01:52:10,214
and I took them with us.

736
01:52:10,798 --> 01:52:13,172
Nihad was among them.

737
01:52:13,714 --> 01:52:18,090
We trained them, prepared
them to fight alongside us.

738
01:52:19,506 --> 01:52:22,006
Nihad had a gift.

739
01:52:22,131 --> 01:52:23,881
He was special.

740
01:52:24,464 --> 01:52:27,840
He quickly became
a formidable marksman.

741
01:52:29,256 --> 01:52:30,381
But...

742
01:52:30,756 --> 01:52:33,006
he wanted to find his mother.

743
01:52:33,714 --> 01:52:35,548
He searched for months.

744
01:52:37,464 --> 01:52:39,965
I don't know what he saw or heard.

745
01:52:41,339 --> 01:52:42,923
He became...

746
01:52:44,090 --> 01:52:46,172
crazed with war.

747
01:52:46,297 --> 01:52:48,297
He came back to see me.

748
01:52:48,422 --> 01:52:50,131
He wanted to be a martyr.

749
01:52:50,464 --> 01:52:54,589
His mother would see his photo
on every wall in the country.

750
01:52:56,214 --> 01:52:58,090
But I refused.

751
01:52:59,339 --> 01:53:00,881
He went back to Daresh.

752
01:53:02,214 --> 01:53:06,048
He became the most dangerous sniper
in the region.

753
01:53:06,714 --> 01:53:07,923
A real machine.

754
01:53:08,506 --> 01:53:09,965
He would shoot at anyone.

755
01:53:11,048 --> 01:53:15,006
And then there was
the enemy invasion.

756
01:53:16,172 --> 01:53:18,214
And one morning...

757
01:53:18,339 --> 01:53:20,548
they captured Nihad.

758
01:53:20,673 --> 01:53:22,756
He'd killed seven soldiers.

759
01:53:24,631 --> 01:53:27,506
They didn't kill him.
They trained him

760
01:53:27,881 --> 01:53:31,048
and sent him to the Kfar Ryat prison.

761
01:53:32,131 --> 01:53:33,798
He was in prison?

762
01:53:34,048 --> 01:53:35,047
Yes.

763
01:53:37,840 --> 01:53:39,339
As a torturer.

764
01:53:41,090 --> 01:53:42,756
With my father?

765
01:53:42,881 --> 01:53:43,880
No.

766
01:53:43,965 --> 01:53:47,214
He didn't work with Abou Tarek,
your father.

767
01:54:16,631 --> 01:54:17,840
You OK?

768
01:54:22,548 --> 01:54:24,090
One plus one...

769
01:54:24,965 --> 01:54:26,548
makes two.

770
01:54:27,214 --> 01:54:28,381
What?

771
01:54:31,756 --> 01:54:33,673
One plus one makes two.

772
01:54:34,631 --> 01:54:36,256
It can't make one.

773
01:54:42,798 --> 01:54:44,506
You're feverish.

774
01:54:47,048 --> 01:54:48,381
Jeanne?

775
01:54:50,297 --> 01:54:53,090
One plus one... Can it make one?

776
01:55:14,923 --> 01:55:16,297
There's a chair.

777
01:55:16,422 --> 01:55:17,965
Take it if you want.

778
01:56:46,756 --> 01:56:48,464
Can I help you, madame?

779
01:56:57,840 --> 01:56:59,464
I'm sorry.

780
01:58:09,297 --> 01:58:11,631
When he became a torturer,

781
01:58:11,756 --> 01:58:13,548
your brother changed names.

782
01:58:14,297 --> 01:58:15,923
He became...

783
01:58:16,048 --> 01:58:17,631
Abou Tarek.

784
01:58:19,881 --> 01:58:23,339
Nihad of May is Abou Tarek.

785
01:58:27,131 --> 01:58:31,256
We know he's living in Canada
under a new identity.

786
01:58:31,881 --> 01:58:34,131
Nihad Harmanni.

787
01:59:13,256 --> 01:59:14,756
Mr Harmanni?

788
01:59:17,673 --> 01:59:18,672
Yes.

789
01:59:26,131 --> 01:59:27,548
This is for you.

790
01:59:58,756 --> 02:00:00,048
Letter to the father

791
02:00:13,506 --> 02:00:15,548
I'm shaking as I write.

792
02:00:16,214 --> 02:00:17,589
I recognized you.

793
02:00:18,422 --> 02:00:20,131
You didn't recognize me.

794
02:00:20,256 --> 02:00:22,297
It's magnificent, a miracle.

795
02:00:22,422 --> 02:00:24,798
I am your number 72.

796
02:00:25,881 --> 02:00:28,214
Our children will deliver this.

797
02:00:29,506 --> 02:00:31,840
You won't recognize them

798
02:00:31,965 --> 02:00:33,464
for they are beautiful.

799
02:00:33,589 --> 02:00:35,506
But they know who you are.

800
02:00:44,381 --> 02:00:48,131
Through them, I want to
tell you that you are still alive.

801
02:00:49,131 --> 02:00:52,131
Soon you'll turn silent... I know.

802
02:00:53,589 --> 02:00:56,422
For all are silent before the truth.

803
02:00:57,381 --> 02:00:58,631
Signed

804
02:00:58,756 --> 02:01:00,339
Whore 72.

805
02:01:14,548 --> 02:01:16,172
I speak to the son...

806
02:01:16,965 --> 02:01:18,756
not to the torturer.

807
02:01:19,506 --> 02:01:22,548
Whatever happens,
I'll always love you.

808
02:01:23,464 --> 02:01:26,422
I promised you that
when you were born, my son.

809
02:01:27,339 --> 02:01:28,965
Whatever happens,

810
02:01:29,090 --> 02:01:30,756
I'll always love you.

811
02:01:31,631 --> 02:01:33,506
I looked for you all my life.

812
02:01:34,464 --> 02:01:35,756
I found you.

813
02:01:36,923 --> 02:01:38,965
You couldn't recognize me.

814
02:01:40,506 --> 02:01:42,756
You've a tattoo on your right heel.

815
02:01:43,381 --> 02:01:44,589
I saw it.

816
02:01:45,214 --> 02:01:46,339
I recognized you.

817
02:01:47,339 --> 02:01:49,048
You are beautiful.

818
02:01:50,048 --> 02:01:52,881
I wrap you in tenderness, my love.

819
02:01:53,714 --> 02:01:55,297
Take solace,

820
02:01:55,965 --> 02:01:58,548
for nothing means more
than being together.

821
02:01:59,339 --> 02:02:01,422
You were born of love.

822
02:02:01,548 --> 02:02:05,339
So your brother and sister
were born of love too.

823
02:02:06,923 --> 02:02:09,381
Nothing means more
than being together.

824
02:02:10,381 --> 02:02:12,048
Your mother,

825
02:02:12,172 --> 02:02:14,214
Nawal Marwan,

826
02:02:14,339 --> 02:02:16,756
Prisoner No. 72.

827
02:02:25,422 --> 02:02:28,464
When the envelopes
have been delivered,

828
02:02:28,589 --> 02:02:31,589
you'll be given a letter,
the silence broken,

829
02:02:31,714 --> 02:02:33,631
a promise kept,

830
02:02:33,756 --> 02:02:36,422
and you can place a stone
on my grave

831
02:02:36,548 --> 02:02:39,131
and on it engrave
my name in the sun.

832
02:02:59,756 --> 02:03:01,381
My loves...

833
02:03:02,548 --> 02:03:04,756
where does your story begin?

834
02:03:05,798 --> 02:03:07,631
At your birth?

835
02:03:08,965 --> 02:03:10,965
If so, it begins in horror.

836
02:03:12,256 --> 02:03:14,381
At the birth of your father?

837
02:03:15,381 --> 02:03:18,131
Then it begins in a great love story.

838
02:03:20,297 --> 02:03:23,798
But I say your story
begins with a promise,

839
02:03:23,923 --> 02:03:26,381
to break the chain of anger.

840
02:03:28,464 --> 02:03:31,422
Thanks to you,
today I have finally kept it.

841
02:03:31,548 --> 02:03:33,214
The chain is broken.

842
02:03:34,422 --> 02:03:37,798
Finally I can take the time
to cradle you,

843
02:03:37,923 --> 02:03:41,048
to gently sing a lullaby
to console you.

844
02:03:43,422 --> 02:03:45,798
Nothing means more
than being together.

845
02:03:47,090 --> 02:03:48,714
I love you.

846
02:03:49,965 --> 02:03:51,589
Your mother.

847
02:03:52,631 --> 02:03:54,006
Nawal.

848
02:10:32,923 --> 02:10:34,673
To our grandmothers
