FOUR DAUGHTERS
4
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:16,334
In this film,
5
00:01:16,418 --> 00:01:19,418
I will try to tell
the story of Olfa's daughters.
6
00:01:21,917 --> 00:01:23,875
Olfa has four daughters.
7
00:01:26,334 --> 00:01:30,583
The two youngest, Eya and Tayssir,
still live with her.
8
00:01:43,376 --> 00:01:44,709
The two eldest,
9
00:01:46,917 --> 00:01:48,542
Rahma and Ghofrane,
10
00:01:51,418 --> 00:01:52,875
were devoured by the wolf.
11
00:02:08,251 --> 00:02:09,583
Where is Olfa?
12
00:02:10,209 --> 00:02:11,251
Is she here?
13
00:02:11,667 --> 00:02:12,834
She's on her way.
14
00:02:16,750 --> 00:02:17,625
I'm so stressed!
15
00:02:22,209 --> 00:02:25,418
It's like I'm shooting my first film.
I can't explain it.
16
00:02:28,459 --> 00:02:31,500
Is she stressed
about meeting me too?
17
00:02:31,917 --> 00:02:33,418
Did she say anything to you?
18
00:02:34,542 --> 00:02:38,667
She wants to see the actors
who will play her two eldest girls.
19
00:02:40,418 --> 00:02:41,625
More than me?
20
00:02:43,334 --> 00:02:44,500
That's weird.
21
00:02:47,251 --> 00:02:48,376
Very well.
22
00:02:49,292 --> 00:02:51,418
So I'm worrying more than her.
23
00:03:01,709 --> 00:03:02,750
As I understand it,
24
00:03:02,792 --> 00:03:06,418
I am like the character of Rose,
in Titanic.
25
00:03:06,459 --> 00:03:08,459
She tells her story,
26
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:13,376
and then actors interpret this story.
27
00:03:13,709 --> 00:03:14,583
So I am Rose!
28
00:03:15,334 --> 00:03:16,834
But in Four Daughters.
29
00:03:18,542 --> 00:03:21,376
That's not exactly what will happen.
30
00:03:21,459 --> 00:03:24,459
You, Eya and Tayssir
will act in the film.
31
00:03:24,834 --> 00:03:26,834
But there will also be an actor,
32
00:03:26,917 --> 00:03:30,500
who will play your character
when the scenes are too upsetting.
33
00:03:54,709 --> 00:03:59,709
You will have to feel
everything that I felt,
34
00:03:59,792 --> 00:04:02,251
that I went through
with my two eldest girls.
35
00:04:02,334 --> 00:04:06,500
The suffering that I endured.
The pain of separation.
36
00:04:06,875 --> 00:04:12,376
The anguish of waking up
with the memory of their disappearance.
37
00:04:12,459 --> 00:04:16,750
And that could drive you crazy.
38
00:04:16,834 --> 00:04:21,583
You know, as actors,
we learn how to keep a certain distance.
39
00:04:22,167 --> 00:04:27,042
Becoming totally involved in a story,
40
00:04:27,126 --> 00:04:30,209
immersing yourself
in an unknown reality,
41
00:04:32,209 --> 00:04:35,542
can be very unsettling.
42
00:04:35,583 --> 00:04:37,750
And it's true that it can hurt you,
43
00:04:37,834 --> 00:04:40,084
so I have learned to protect myself.
44
00:04:40,167 --> 00:04:42,167
And what if you can't?
45
00:04:43,209 --> 00:04:45,750
If you can't get the character
out of your head?
46
00:04:45,875 --> 00:04:49,126
If they unnerve you,
because they seem too real?
47
00:04:49,209 --> 00:04:52,167
Kaouther isn't going
to invent anything in this story,
48
00:04:52,251 --> 00:04:54,084
it is all true.
49
00:04:54,167 --> 00:04:55,750
And that could disturb you.
50
00:04:55,792 --> 00:04:57,418
Yes, I have to protect myself.
51
00:04:58,750 --> 00:05:00,459
Eya and Tayssir,
52
00:05:00,542 --> 00:05:04,376
you will also play yourselves.
53
00:05:05,750 --> 00:05:08,042
I will introduce you
54
00:05:08,084 --> 00:05:11,292
to the two actors
who will play your older sisters,
55
00:05:11,376 --> 00:05:12,625
Rahma and Ghofrane.
56
00:05:57,625 --> 00:05:59,750
-Hello.
-Hello.
57
00:05:59,792 --> 00:06:00,334
Hello.
58
00:06:05,292 --> 00:06:07,334
I recognize Ghofrane.
59
00:06:08,667 --> 00:06:11,334
She is Ghofrane.
And that's Rahma.
60
00:06:12,583 --> 00:06:13,625
Is that right?
61
00:06:13,667 --> 00:06:15,334
How did you guess?
62
00:06:15,376 --> 00:06:17,500
Ghofrane... I will tell you.
63
00:06:18,167 --> 00:06:21,500
Ghofrane has curly hair,
and she is slim too.
64
00:06:21,542 --> 00:06:24,251
And also,
she exudes femininity, like you.
65
00:06:24,334 --> 00:06:27,459
And you look like Rahma.
And me.
66
00:06:34,334 --> 00:06:35,667
For me, as their mother,
67
00:06:35,750 --> 00:06:38,459
nobody can replace Rahma and Ghofrane.
68
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:41,209
-You think we're going to replace them?
-Never!
69
00:06:41,292 --> 00:06:44,750
-She looks like Ghofrane.
-She does. There's something.
70
00:06:45,251 --> 00:06:46,625
She has the same smile.
71
00:06:46,667 --> 00:06:50,251
The resemblance is striking
on that last photo of her.
72
00:06:50,376 --> 00:06:52,667
I imagine that Kaouther had this photo.
73
00:06:53,292 --> 00:06:54,792
She chose you well.
74
00:06:57,667 --> 00:06:59,376
Above all,
it's a question of character.
75
00:06:59,459 --> 00:07:01,418
Very feminine.
76
00:07:01,792 --> 00:07:04,042
Ghofrane is calmer, right?
77
00:07:04,084 --> 00:07:05,376
Rahma is sitting by me.
78
00:07:05,418 --> 00:07:08,292
Ghofrane takes me in her arms,
Rahma doesn't.
79
00:07:09,042 --> 00:07:11,334
Ghofrane sits next to me,
Rahma doesn't!
80
00:07:11,376 --> 00:07:13,625
Come and sit next to your mother!
81
00:07:14,084 --> 00:07:15,126
[speaking Arabic]
82
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:19,583
Gosh!
83
00:07:34,709 --> 00:07:37,251
That is what will be painful
about this film.
84
00:07:40,418 --> 00:07:42,750
We are going to relive it all.
85
00:07:43,418 --> 00:07:45,418
It's going to reopen the wounds.
86
00:07:58,542 --> 00:08:00,209
It's not...
87
00:08:01,334 --> 00:08:03,542
I have never cried
over their disappearance.
88
00:08:05,251 --> 00:08:07,542
I didn't even say
their names anymore.
89
00:08:09,251 --> 00:08:12,251
I wasn't able to.
90
00:08:13,084 --> 00:08:14,959
Just saying "Rahma" and "Ghofrane",
91
00:08:15,042 --> 00:08:18,583
it reminds me of tragedy,
misery, extreme pain.
92
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:22,542
-All good?
-Hello.
93
00:08:23,625 --> 00:08:28,209
Kaouther told me
that Olfa found it hard
94
00:08:29,042 --> 00:08:31,292
to see "her daughters".
95
00:08:31,334 --> 00:08:34,126
She broke down.
She couldn't even speak.
96
00:08:34,209 --> 00:08:34,750
Hm.
97
00:08:35,292 --> 00:08:38,042
So, I am going to take her place.
98
00:08:39,042 --> 00:08:40,084
Here, yes.
99
00:08:40,376 --> 00:08:42,459
-I am "Mom".
-Nice to meet you.
100
00:08:44,292 --> 00:08:47,084
Who shall we start with?
Rahma or Ghofrane?
101
00:08:47,667 --> 00:08:49,709
-This?
-No.
102
00:08:53,334 --> 00:08:56,292
-That's Rahma. How old was she there?
-Fifteen.
103
00:08:56,583 --> 00:08:59,000
Open it more.
104
00:08:59,042 --> 00:09:01,126
That's fine. It's fastened.
105
00:09:01,667 --> 00:09:03,126
-Help each other.
-A second.
106
00:09:03,167 --> 00:09:06,209
-Did you often help your sisters?
-I used to wear one as well.
107
00:09:07,084 --> 00:09:08,667
-You wore the hijab?
-Yes.
108
00:09:08,709 --> 00:09:10,625
From what age did you wear it?
109
00:09:10,667 --> 00:09:13,418
When I was eight or nine, maybe.
110
00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:17,709
Oh.
111
00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:24,334
For Ghofrane,
it really is a great job.
112
00:09:25,042 --> 00:09:26,167
And Rahma, it's a fail?
113
00:09:26,209 --> 00:09:27,917
With you, it's your personality.
114
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,459
It's your character that is similar.
115
00:09:33,625 --> 00:09:36,084
You really remind me of them.
116
00:09:38,376 --> 00:09:42,209
They tried on the hijab,
they liked it and they kept it.
117
00:09:45,709 --> 00:09:47,709
[mumbling in Arabic]
118
00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:04,334
Like I told you,
119
00:10:04,376 --> 00:10:08,000
my mother was a single mother,
120
00:10:08,042 --> 00:10:10,126
who was raising several daughters.
121
00:10:10,209 --> 00:10:12,042
We were easy prey.
122
00:10:12,709 --> 00:10:15,292
In a world without mercy.
123
00:10:15,583 --> 00:10:19,209
My mother only had daughters.
Our father left us.
124
00:10:19,334 --> 00:10:23,583
Often, men tried
to enter our home by force.
125
00:10:23,625 --> 00:10:27,042
They tried to break down the door!
126
00:10:27,084 --> 00:10:30,583
I was the only one
who was able to defend us.
127
00:10:30,625 --> 00:10:33,292
"I was the only one
who was able to defend us."
128
00:10:33,376 --> 00:10:36,334
"I was the only one
who was able to defend us."
129
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,084
I was young at the time.
130
00:10:39,126 --> 00:10:41,418
I was just 13 or 14 years old.
131
00:10:43,126 --> 00:10:44,583
But I was brave.
132
00:10:44,625 --> 00:10:49,000
I was convinced that we had
to stand up for ourselves, you know?
133
00:10:49,084 --> 00:10:50,167
"You know?"
134
00:10:50,542 --> 00:10:52,209
"But I was brave.
135
00:10:52,251 --> 00:10:55,459
I was convinced
that we had to stand up for ourselves."
136
00:10:55,542 --> 00:10:58,500
I started to do weight training.
137
00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:04,126
I did weight training,
I cut my hair like a boy,
138
00:11:04,167 --> 00:11:06,209
I dressed like a guy...
139
00:11:06,709 --> 00:11:11,126
I became a man,
to protect my mother.
140
00:11:11,625 --> 00:11:16,334
I hit anyone who attacked us.
All of them.
141
00:11:16,709 --> 00:11:18,459
I gave them all a beating!
142
00:11:18,542 --> 00:11:20,459
"I hit anyone who attacked us.
143
00:11:20,542 --> 00:11:23,959
I gave them all a beating!"
144
00:11:26,042 --> 00:11:29,042
[layered speaking in Arabic]
145
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000
[inaudible Arabic]
146
00:11:44,376 --> 00:11:46,542
I behaved like a guy.
147
00:11:46,625 --> 00:11:48,251
I had turned into a guy.
148
00:11:48,667 --> 00:11:53,084
Then a man came into my life,
and he broke me.
149
00:11:59,418 --> 00:12:02,000
On my wedding night...
150
00:12:02,251 --> 00:12:07,000
You know this kind of people.
You know what they expect.
151
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:26,209
Gently, Abderahmane,
I'm not going to take off.
152
00:12:26,251 --> 00:12:29,209
Go gently, please.
153
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:31,000
I'll show you gently!
154
00:12:31,042 --> 00:12:33,542
No, I didn't beg him.
155
00:12:33,583 --> 00:12:36,167
I was firm, I gave him orders.
156
00:12:36,959 --> 00:12:39,959
Now I remember, my sister came in.
157
00:12:40,042 --> 00:12:41,209
May she be cursed!
158
00:12:41,251 --> 00:12:43,500
She told him:
"Don't bother with the bed,
159
00:12:43,542 --> 00:12:47,917
throw her on the floor
and block her in the corner."
160
00:12:48,251 --> 00:12:51,500
And after that, she left the room.
161
00:12:51,542 --> 00:12:54,084
Show me,
as if you were your sister.
162
00:12:54,167 --> 00:12:55,042
Okay.
163
00:12:55,084 --> 00:12:57,334
How's it going, Abderahmane?
Are you done?
164
00:12:57,376 --> 00:12:59,959
This bitch,
she won't give herself to me.
165
00:13:00,542 --> 00:13:04,042
What's the matter with you, Olfa?
What is your problem?
166
00:13:04,126 --> 00:13:05,209
Go on, give yourself.
167
00:13:05,251 --> 00:13:08,126
Or confess, if you have a problem.
168
00:13:08,209 --> 00:13:09,251
People are waiting.
169
00:13:09,292 --> 00:13:10,583
You want to cause a scene?
170
00:13:11,667 --> 00:13:13,959
-Your sister really said that?
-Yes.
171
00:13:14,042 --> 00:13:17,418
-And after?
-He pushed me onto the bed.
172
00:13:19,667 --> 00:13:20,959
Action!
173
00:13:21,625 --> 00:13:23,126
Get off me!
174
00:13:23,209 --> 00:13:24,167
Shut your mouth!
175
00:13:24,251 --> 00:13:25,500
-Stop that.
-Shut it.
176
00:13:25,583 --> 00:13:29,917
I swear
that you're not going to touch me.
177
00:13:29,959 --> 00:13:32,209
Get off me!
178
00:13:32,251 --> 00:13:34,875
He burped!
179
00:13:34,917 --> 00:13:38,418
And the people who are waiting outside?
You want to bring shame on us?
180
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,084
You hear how he burps?
181
00:13:41,126 --> 00:13:44,292
So what?
It's not like you don't know him.
182
00:13:44,376 --> 00:13:46,042
Don't be a pain. Hurry up!
183
00:13:46,126 --> 00:13:47,334
He hasn't even looked at me.
184
00:13:47,418 --> 00:13:50,459
You, listen to me.
My sister is a tough nut to crack.
185
00:13:50,542 --> 00:13:52,000
See that corner?
186
00:13:52,084 --> 00:13:54,209
Block her in there and do your business.
187
00:13:55,084 --> 00:13:56,583
You have no shame.
188
00:13:56,625 --> 00:13:59,418
People are waiting, hurry up.
189
00:13:59,459 --> 00:14:01,500
-There'll be no scenes tonight.
-Get out.
190
00:14:01,583 --> 00:14:03,500
-Are you not a virgin?
-I am!
191
00:14:03,583 --> 00:14:06,000
-If you aren't, say so.
-I am, don't worry.
192
00:14:06,084 --> 00:14:08,875
You're not here to have a good time.
193
00:14:08,959 --> 00:14:10,500
Bravo!
194
00:14:10,583 --> 00:14:11,542
Go on, leave us.
195
00:14:11,625 --> 00:14:13,459
And you,
show her that you're a man.
196
00:14:13,542 --> 00:14:15,209
All right, get out of here.
197
00:14:15,292 --> 00:14:17,292
-And you, get up.
-I'm getting up.
198
00:14:17,376 --> 00:14:19,792
-Get in the corner.
-Okay, I'm going.
199
00:14:19,875 --> 00:14:22,000
I'm going to the corner.
200
00:14:22,084 --> 00:14:25,625
If you want to do it in the corner,
we'll go there.
201
00:14:26,042 --> 00:14:27,376
Go on, in the corner.
202
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:28,959
Get your hands off!
203
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,542
-You coward!
-Dirty whore!
204
00:14:31,625 --> 00:14:34,376
-Dirty little...
-I'm going to show you!
205
00:14:34,459 --> 00:14:36,542
You want to be a man?
206
00:14:36,625 --> 00:14:39,167
-I'll teach you!
-Get off me, you bitch!
207
00:14:39,251 --> 00:14:41,167
I'll teach you what being a man is!
208
00:14:44,418 --> 00:14:46,126
There, are you happy?
209
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,292
Here it is!
210
00:14:52,126 --> 00:14:53,834
Go on, wipe yourself off!
211
00:14:53,917 --> 00:14:55,000
You can come in.
212
00:14:55,042 --> 00:14:56,084
I did this.
213
00:14:57,251 --> 00:14:58,126
Look.
214
00:15:01,583 --> 00:15:03,084
And she took out the sheet.
215
00:15:03,959 --> 00:15:07,834
-A sheet stained with his blood?
-Yes, it was his blood.
216
00:15:09,376 --> 00:15:14,084
Outside they began the party,
the ululations, the rifle shots...
217
00:15:14,167 --> 00:15:17,209
They were rejoicing,
when he hadn't actually touched me.
218
00:15:26,583 --> 00:15:28,042
After we wed,
219
00:15:28,084 --> 00:15:30,542
my co-workers
would talk about their husbands.
220
00:15:31,209 --> 00:15:34,126
They would talk about
what they got up to together.
221
00:15:34,209 --> 00:15:37,209
I had nothing to tell
I was a little jealous.
222
00:15:43,583 --> 00:15:45,875
We should concentrate for instance…
223
00:15:47,917 --> 00:15:53,209
When we watched a movie
with romantic scenes,
224
00:15:53,583 --> 00:15:56,042
I would say to him:
"Look, that's sweet."
225
00:15:56,084 --> 00:15:59,875
And he would insult the actress.
226
00:16:00,167 --> 00:16:02,084
She's a slut, that actress.
227
00:16:04,209 --> 00:16:06,000
Hend Sabri, a slut?
228
00:16:06,084 --> 00:16:07,583
-A total slut.
-Oh really?
229
00:16:08,251 --> 00:16:10,500
I love you so much,
I want to bite you.
230
00:16:10,917 --> 00:16:12,959
I would like to be a slut too.
231
00:16:13,042 --> 00:16:14,042
Okay.
232
00:16:14,875 --> 00:16:16,000
Go ahead.
233
00:16:16,084 --> 00:16:17,334
I can't, by myself.
234
00:16:19,126 --> 00:16:21,084
We have to do it together.
235
00:16:23,917 --> 00:16:25,959
Did she say anything to you?
236
00:16:27,292 --> 00:16:28,459
Sorry.
237
00:16:28,875 --> 00:16:29,917
[muttering in Arabic]
238
00:16:34,418 --> 00:16:35,500
It makes sense!
239
00:16:35,583 --> 00:16:37,459
-Being slutty on my own?
-I know...
240
00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:40,459
It's always the same.
It's never the men who are insulted.
241
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:43,292
Fix your moustache.
242
00:16:45,167 --> 00:16:49,167
You, when you act out
this kind of sequence,
243
00:16:49,251 --> 00:16:50,459
no one insults you.
244
00:16:50,542 --> 00:16:53,126
Me, of course, I am a slut.
245
00:16:53,209 --> 00:16:54,251
It's true!
246
00:16:54,292 --> 00:16:56,959
In life like in the movies.
247
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,084
Exactly.
248
00:16:58,126 --> 00:17:00,792
-Damn it!
-OK.
249
00:17:02,875 --> 00:17:04,959
What do you think?
250
00:17:08,459 --> 00:17:09,418
Sometimes, I told him:
251
00:17:09,459 --> 00:17:12,459
"I'm going to teach you something.
Say: I love you."
252
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:14,167
Tell me: "I love you."
253
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
I'd like to hear you say it.
It's a beautiful word.
254
00:17:20,042 --> 00:17:22,500
Making love, it's also about foreplay.
255
00:17:22,583 --> 00:17:24,209
Things to do and say.
256
00:17:24,292 --> 00:17:25,376
Come on!
257
00:17:25,459 --> 00:17:29,542
But it went over his head. In the end,
I banned him from coming near me.
258
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,959
You just slept together once a year,
to have a child?
259
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,292
Yes, pretty much.
260
00:17:36,834 --> 00:17:37,917
I was living a hard time.
261
00:17:38,917 --> 00:17:42,500
Let me tell you
when we slept together.
262
00:17:43,459 --> 00:17:46,042
When I didn't have any money at all.
263
00:17:46,459 --> 00:17:51,875
If I saw that he had some money,
that he'd worked a bit,
264
00:17:51,959 --> 00:17:55,418
then I would yield to him.
265
00:17:56,126 --> 00:18:00,167
I said to myself
that I had really earned that money.
266
00:18:00,376 --> 00:18:06,042
That was maybe the only reason
that we slept together.
267
00:18:43,959 --> 00:18:45,042
Ghofrane!
268
00:18:47,251 --> 00:18:48,750
Mom, Dad's here.
269
00:18:48,834 --> 00:18:50,376
Go back to sleep. Don't move.
270
00:18:50,418 --> 00:18:51,292
Shh.
271
00:18:54,042 --> 00:18:54,917
Ghofrane.
272
00:18:57,167 --> 00:18:58,334
Ghofrane?
273
00:18:59,875 --> 00:19:00,917
Are you asleep, Ghofrane?
274
00:19:02,583 --> 00:19:04,583
You ignore me, like your mother?
275
00:19:06,750 --> 00:19:08,084
Are you sleeping alone?
276
00:19:09,709 --> 00:19:11,334
She hasn't let anyone in?
277
00:19:11,418 --> 00:19:13,542
Stop, Dad. Are you not ashamed?
278
00:19:13,583 --> 00:19:15,917
How did he pronounce it?
279
00:19:15,959 --> 00:19:17,251
His accent?
280
00:19:17,334 --> 00:19:20,459
He said to her:
"Your mother sleeps all dolled up..."
281
00:19:20,583 --> 00:19:22,459
-"Sleeps" in which accent?
-"Sleeps".
282
00:19:22,542 --> 00:19:24,917
-Shall I show him, Tayssir?
-Yes, go on.
283
00:19:25,542 --> 00:19:26,792
He would say to her:
284
00:19:26,834 --> 00:19:28,792
"You explain to me then,
285
00:19:28,875 --> 00:19:33,500
this woman, asleep like that,
half naked,
286
00:19:33,583 --> 00:19:37,084
with her whole body offered up,
who is that for?
287
00:19:37,542 --> 00:19:40,583
It's not for me, in any case."
288
00:19:40,625 --> 00:19:42,459
A father, for me,
289
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:44,042
is the man who...
290
00:19:44,792 --> 00:19:49,542
who contributes to our birth,
through sexual intercourse.
291
00:19:49,959 --> 00:19:52,334
Great, thanks very much.
292
00:19:52,418 --> 00:19:56,625
He would have done better
finding something else to do,
293
00:19:56,667 --> 00:19:58,583
instead of conceiving me.
294
00:19:58,625 --> 00:20:01,625
He would insult Mom,
he would wake us up.
295
00:20:01,750 --> 00:20:04,500
He would wake up Ghofrane to hit her.
296
00:20:04,583 --> 00:20:08,500
-Why her especially?
-Because she was the eldest.
297
00:20:08,542 --> 00:20:09,834
She protected us.
298
00:20:09,917 --> 00:20:12,667
And also, she was very close to Mom.
299
00:20:12,709 --> 00:20:15,500
-It was to hurt me?
-Exactly.
300
00:20:15,834 --> 00:20:17,500
"Oh, that shitty night..."
301
00:20:17,542 --> 00:20:18,834
That rotten night.
302
00:20:19,418 --> 00:20:21,834
Mom was saying bad words.
303
00:20:21,875 --> 00:20:25,625
Oh no, enough!
I've had enough of your swearing!
304
00:20:25,667 --> 00:20:28,542
I'm an actor.
I can inspire the same feelings,
305
00:20:28,625 --> 00:20:29,583
without swearing.
306
00:20:29,667 --> 00:20:31,583
-No.
-What do you mean, no?
307
00:20:31,667 --> 00:20:34,709
In Tunisia,
when we argue we cuss.
308
00:20:34,792 --> 00:20:37,959
Especially at home.
This language is in our blood.
309
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,459
I'm talking to you about the film.
310
00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:42,542
But it has to be realistic.
311
00:20:42,667 --> 00:20:46,667
As a viewer, I would find it strange
that we tell the whole story
312
00:20:46,709 --> 00:20:48,583
without a single swear word.
313
00:20:48,792 --> 00:20:52,792
The only words that he said
and which left a mark on my childhood,
314
00:20:52,875 --> 00:20:54,583
are cusses.
315
00:20:55,376 --> 00:20:58,667
"You're all like your mother."
"A bunch of... I don't know what."
316
00:20:58,709 --> 00:21:02,418
"If I catch you..."
"You will turn out bad."
317
00:21:02,875 --> 00:21:04,709
That's what their father said to them.
318
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:11,625
You understand?
And I would say to them:
319
00:21:11,709 --> 00:21:13,959
"You hear what your father is saying?
320
00:21:14,042 --> 00:21:18,959
For him, there is no doubt
that you will end up as whores.
321
00:21:19,042 --> 00:21:20,709
Don't let him be right!
322
00:21:20,792 --> 00:21:24,376
Tell him that you are Olfa's daughters.
323
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:29,418
And that Olfa's daughters
are worthy of greatness."
324
00:21:30,334 --> 00:21:31,959
-[muttered Arabic]
-Very well.
325
00:21:35,709 --> 00:21:37,376
Look at this.
326
00:21:37,625 --> 00:21:38,667
There it is!
327
00:21:41,709 --> 00:21:43,583
The photo is really misleading.
328
00:21:43,625 --> 00:21:46,583
-Ah, so you agree!
-Look at this wound.
329
00:21:46,667 --> 00:21:49,583
-Yes, it lends to confusion.
-Thanks for confirming.
330
00:21:49,667 --> 00:21:50,917
Magnificent!
331
00:21:52,750 --> 00:21:54,418
Here's the butt crack.
332
00:21:54,459 --> 00:21:56,583
I had gotten surgery on my leg.
333
00:21:56,625 --> 00:22:00,750
I took a photo thinking I was using
an x-ray application.
334
00:22:00,792 --> 00:22:03,667
I was young.
It was nothing more than a photo.
335
00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:07,292
Later on,
my mother found it on the cell phone,
336
00:22:07,625 --> 00:22:11,251
and she thought
that it was something else.
337
00:22:11,292 --> 00:22:13,418
-She saw a butt crack!
-Exactly.
338
00:22:13,459 --> 00:22:15,542
She asked who had taken the photo.
339
00:22:15,625 --> 00:22:19,792
Rahma and Ghofrane said
that it was me and Eya
340
00:22:19,834 --> 00:22:21,625
who were playing with the phone.
341
00:22:22,750 --> 00:22:26,875
I said that I hadn't taken any photo.
342
00:22:26,959 --> 00:22:31,750
But Eya, she doesn't know
how to stand up for herself,
343
00:22:31,792 --> 00:22:33,917
so she always stays silent.
344
00:22:33,959 --> 00:22:36,292
Everyone thought that it was her.
345
00:22:36,583 --> 00:22:39,376
All my girls, except Eya,
could speak up for themselves.
346
00:22:39,459 --> 00:22:41,917
They accused her,
and she didn't deny it.
347
00:22:41,959 --> 00:22:44,500
I remember it as if it were yesterday.
348
00:22:44,583 --> 00:22:48,542
I gave her two dinars,
I packed her a bag
349
00:22:48,959 --> 00:22:50,709
and I put her outside in the rain.
350
00:22:50,792 --> 00:22:54,251
-How old were you?
-I was young. Eight.
351
00:22:54,334 --> 00:22:56,418
That is exactly how it happened.
352
00:22:56,500 --> 00:22:59,834
I was crying:
"Mom, I swear, it wasn't me!"
353
00:22:59,875 --> 00:23:02,500
She grabbed me by my sweater,
she pushed me,
354
00:23:02,542 --> 00:23:06,209
and then she threw a red bag at me.
355
00:23:06,292 --> 00:23:09,750
She flung it in my direction
and it hit me right in the head.
356
00:23:09,834 --> 00:23:12,750
And then she threw
the two dinars at me.
357
00:23:12,834 --> 00:23:15,667
I was begging her:
"I swear to you, it wasn't me."
358
00:23:15,709 --> 00:23:17,500
You just had to say:
359
00:23:17,542 --> 00:23:20,667
"It's nothing, Mom, it's just a leg."
360
00:23:21,542 --> 00:23:24,459
-I'd forgotten.
-And when she showed you the photo?
361
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:30,418
When I saw the photo
I really thought it was "that" too.
362
00:23:30,542 --> 00:23:32,667
-Had you forgotten as well?
-She hadn't.
363
00:23:32,709 --> 00:23:34,376
No, I remembered.
364
00:23:34,459 --> 00:23:39,418
But I was scared that she would hit me
for having taken a photo of a leg.
365
00:23:39,875 --> 00:23:41,875
Even telling the truth scared me.
366
00:23:41,959 --> 00:23:45,792
I will have to be the one
to act out this scene.
367
00:23:45,875 --> 00:23:49,792
-I will hit both of them.
-Especially me.
368
00:23:49,875 --> 00:23:54,792
And as an actor, my work lies
in understanding your motivation.
369
00:23:54,875 --> 00:24:00,542
To really understand
what made you snap.
370
00:24:01,209 --> 00:24:04,834
For you, everything that relates
371
00:24:04,875 --> 00:24:08,376
to the female body
is shameful and obscene.
372
00:24:08,709 --> 00:24:12,834
We have to hide our bodies
and cover them up.
373
00:24:14,251 --> 00:24:17,667
In my eyes,
my daughters had ventured
374
00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:19,583
into dangerous territory.
375
00:24:19,625 --> 00:24:22,834
What territory do you mean?
It's their body!
376
00:24:22,917 --> 00:24:23,834
Let me finish.
377
00:24:23,917 --> 00:24:28,418
For me, this photo,
it rang the alarm bells.
378
00:24:28,875 --> 00:24:32,292
Their minds had become impure.
379
00:24:32,376 --> 00:24:35,834
Today, it's just a photo.
Tomorrow they will be stripping,
380
00:24:35,917 --> 00:24:38,459
and then it will be sexual intercourse.
381
00:24:38,542 --> 00:24:41,292
We were 8 years old
and you thought that.
382
00:24:41,376 --> 00:24:43,251
Yes, that's what I was afraid of.
383
00:24:43,292 --> 00:24:45,167
-And they were 8 years old?
-Yes.
384
00:24:45,251 --> 00:24:48,542
When she accused us,
I was eight and she was six.
385
00:24:49,251 --> 00:24:51,209
She was afraid that we would have sex.
386
00:24:51,292 --> 00:24:53,709
"Intercourse!"
Honestly, the idea of it.
387
00:24:53,792 --> 00:24:58,459
I asked myself these questions
for all four of my girls.
388
00:24:58,542 --> 00:25:01,709
You are obsessed by sin
389
00:25:01,792 --> 00:25:05,709
and God gave you four daughters,
to you, so full of fear!
390
00:25:05,792 --> 00:25:07,334
Can you imagine the hell?
391
00:25:07,418 --> 00:25:12,459
It's a tragedy. I hate girls.
I didn't want to have any daughters.
392
00:25:12,542 --> 00:25:17,292
What I understand, is that for you,
their bodies are dangerous.
393
00:25:17,334 --> 00:25:19,418
There's no doubt about it.
394
00:25:19,459 --> 00:25:22,292
The body, it's really
where the line is drawn.
395
00:25:22,376 --> 00:25:25,167
It is the private property
of one single person.
396
00:25:25,251 --> 00:25:26,418
-The husband.
-Yes.
397
00:25:26,459 --> 00:25:29,583
But why do you think
that their bodies
398
00:25:29,625 --> 00:25:33,709
are the property of a guy
that they haven't even met yet?
399
00:25:33,834 --> 00:25:37,167
Even my husband
doesn't have the right to own my body.
400
00:25:37,209 --> 00:25:40,418
Where does this attitude
of yours come from?
401
00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:45,875
-Talking about your body like that...
-My body belongs to me alone.
402
00:25:47,334 --> 00:25:48,334
Oh!
403
00:25:50,459 --> 00:25:52,500
The warm up.
They're going to play soccer.
404
00:26:02,334 --> 00:26:03,834
They are mutants!
405
00:26:03,875 --> 00:26:06,459
-Come on, do the same.
-There's no way!
406
00:26:14,167 --> 00:26:15,875
God deliver us!
407
00:26:24,126 --> 00:26:25,209
Great!
408
00:26:44,209 --> 00:26:47,126
-We were concentrating.
-And enjoying it.
409
00:26:47,209 --> 00:26:49,750
Now, we're going to have a good laugh.
410
00:26:49,834 --> 00:26:54,084
We let everything out,
so we can better concentrate afterwards.
411
00:26:54,167 --> 00:26:56,292
[speaking Arabic]
412
00:27:17,167 --> 00:27:18,459
Fine.
413
00:27:27,334 --> 00:27:30,292
-What would you like to eat?
-Some nice spicy chicken.
414
00:27:30,750 --> 00:27:32,376
Some nice spicy chicken?
415
00:27:32,583 --> 00:27:35,418
-I will see to that. And you?
-Cannelloni.
416
00:27:35,834 --> 00:27:38,251
-Cannelloni? That's so nice!
417
00:27:38,376 --> 00:27:40,292
-And you?
-Anything.
418
00:27:40,376 --> 00:27:43,459
Come on, Ghofrane, play the game!
419
00:27:49,126 --> 00:27:51,167
Mamma mia, it's so good!
420
00:27:51,459 --> 00:27:53,292
Can you smell how spicy it is?
421
00:27:57,834 --> 00:28:03,750
They played this game
when we had nothing to eat.
422
00:28:04,126 --> 00:28:06,167
Ghofrane was the most difficult.
423
00:28:06,251 --> 00:28:08,084
She didn't say yes to anything,
424
00:28:08,126 --> 00:28:09,542
she didn't like anything.
425
00:28:10,418 --> 00:28:12,792
Rahma, she loved everything.
A real peasant!
426
00:28:13,792 --> 00:28:17,209
She did this role play
with empty dishes,
427
00:28:17,292 --> 00:28:20,209
or with leftovers
that they didn't want.
428
00:28:20,334 --> 00:28:22,750
They dreamed of tasty meals.
429
00:28:22,834 --> 00:28:26,667
It kept them entertained
and they forgot.
430
00:28:26,750 --> 00:28:30,126
I joined in with them.
We had a lot of fun.
431
00:28:30,167 --> 00:28:34,334
It wasn't only
what they've just been playing.
432
00:28:34,418 --> 00:28:38,209
Actually, it was more spontaneous,
it ended in a good laugh.
433
00:28:38,292 --> 00:28:40,583
We danced, we sang.
434
00:28:40,667 --> 00:28:44,418
It's among our happiest memories.
435
00:28:45,084 --> 00:28:49,667
Girls, do you have
the same memories of that?
436
00:28:50,459 --> 00:28:53,376
At that time, just playing this game
437
00:28:53,459 --> 00:28:56,625
allowed us to feel like
438
00:28:56,667 --> 00:29:00,042
we had access to the things
439
00:29:00,167 --> 00:29:02,334
that we were deprived of.
440
00:29:02,625 --> 00:29:07,542
All these things
that we only saw on TV.
441
00:29:07,583 --> 00:29:09,292
Rahma was always behind it.
442
00:29:09,376 --> 00:29:11,376
These festive moments were her doing.
443
00:29:11,792 --> 00:29:13,292
Just like the dramas.
444
00:29:13,376 --> 00:29:16,334
Her parties always turned into a drama.
445
00:29:16,376 --> 00:29:18,542
Like on Mom's birthday.
446
00:29:18,625 --> 00:29:20,500
-What do you mean?
-She had prepared
447
00:29:20,542 --> 00:29:23,209
little bits of paper to throw at her.
448
00:29:23,292 --> 00:29:25,084
-Confetti?
-Yes.
449
00:29:25,167 --> 00:29:31,084
She had put them in a candy box,
above the door.
450
00:29:32,042 --> 00:29:35,209
Be easy on Rahma!
451
00:29:35,542 --> 00:29:39,209
She beat her black and blue.
Poor thing, she had prepared everything.
452
00:29:39,292 --> 00:29:41,167
Rahma doesn't fit her name:
"clemency"!
453
00:29:41,209 --> 00:29:45,042
I nicknamed her "the curse",
instead of "clemency".
454
00:29:45,167 --> 00:29:47,251
-That's so mean!
-You see?
455
00:29:47,625 --> 00:29:50,418
-Want to hear what she's called me?
-Go on!
456
00:29:51,376 --> 00:29:54,376
I'll make you a list, with a tune.
457
00:29:54,418 --> 00:29:55,667
There once was a...
458
00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:57,625
"You bastard!"
459
00:29:57,709 --> 00:30:00,625
"I wish you were a ball
being kicked about by boys!"
460
00:30:00,709 --> 00:30:03,334
"I dream of seeing your blood
spilled across the sidewalk!"
461
00:30:03,418 --> 00:30:06,251
"I want to watch the news
and find out you've died!"
462
00:30:07,542 --> 00:30:09,583
"A tramp who wants
to go out with guys!"
463
00:30:09,667 --> 00:30:14,667
"You go out and you make out!
You think I didn't know about it?"
464
00:30:14,750 --> 00:30:16,209
Here comes a swear word.
465
00:30:16,251 --> 00:30:19,084
"You've still got shit on your ass
and you want to get guys?"
466
00:30:23,542 --> 00:30:26,209
It hurt me, but I didn't show it.
467
00:30:26,292 --> 00:30:27,459
I answered her like this.
468
00:30:28,084 --> 00:30:32,084
But inside, I was enraged.
469
00:30:32,126 --> 00:30:35,625
If I could have... I'm sorry,
but I wanted to strangle her.
470
00:30:35,709 --> 00:30:41,000
I swear, these killer lines,
they cut me deep.
471
00:30:41,334 --> 00:30:43,292
This film lets me speak out.
472
00:30:43,334 --> 00:30:45,167
So you want to strangle me?
473
00:30:46,542 --> 00:30:49,959
After the film, she'll make me feel bad.
474
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,292
-Of course!
-She'll bring it up again.
475
00:30:52,334 --> 00:30:54,042
I haven't finished.
476
00:30:54,126 --> 00:30:56,959
I want to strangle her and say:
"I'm not like that!"
477
00:30:57,042 --> 00:30:58,583
Come on, try it!
478
00:30:58,625 --> 00:31:01,959
That's all you've heard,
"strangle me"!
479
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,126
You haven't understood
how much it hurts her?
480
00:31:05,251 --> 00:31:07,042
You are selfish, Olfa.
481
00:31:07,126 --> 00:31:10,042
It hurts her?
I understand, but that's how it is.
482
00:31:10,126 --> 00:31:13,334
It's the legacy
of several generations, a heritage.
483
00:31:14,251 --> 00:31:15,709
Period.
484
00:31:36,167 --> 00:31:38,667
How long were they majorettes for?
485
00:31:39,167 --> 00:31:40,709
About four years.
486
00:31:41,167 --> 00:31:45,167
Or three...
Yes, it was a few years.
487
00:31:45,209 --> 00:31:46,875
The weekends, vacations...
488
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,500
What age did they start?
489
00:31:49,459 --> 00:31:53,167
They hadn't started high school.
It was in elementary school.
490
00:31:53,209 --> 00:31:55,542
Eya and Tayssir hadn't...
491
00:31:56,209 --> 00:31:59,625
They hadn't started school yet.
492
00:32:06,042 --> 00:32:08,084
Everything changed after he fell.
493
00:32:08,167 --> 00:32:10,209
-"God is one."
-Exactly.
494
00:32:10,251 --> 00:32:11,709
"And Ben Ali is unequalled!"
495
00:32:12,709 --> 00:32:17,209
I don't care about Ben Ali.
I was talking about his time.
496
00:32:17,251 --> 00:32:22,542
It's true that times were tough.
Of course, I'm speaking for me.
497
00:32:23,126 --> 00:32:25,500
But at least, we were all together.
498
00:32:26,126 --> 00:32:28,084
The revolution
didn't steal your daughters.
499
00:32:28,209 --> 00:32:31,625
They were daughters of Ben Ali.
Good girls.
500
00:32:31,709 --> 00:32:33,084
Ben Ali's daughters?
501
00:32:33,126 --> 00:32:37,126
Yes, Ben Ali's children.
They were good girls.
502
00:32:37,209 --> 00:32:39,583
Look what happened after he left!
503
00:32:39,667 --> 00:32:42,209
The problem,
it's those who governed after him.
504
00:32:42,251 --> 00:32:46,084
I know that. That's what I'm saying.
505
00:32:46,126 --> 00:32:47,917
-Hello.
-Here comes the teacher.
506
00:32:47,959 --> 00:32:49,292
-Hi.
-You are stunning.
507
00:32:49,583 --> 00:32:50,667
Thank you.
508
00:32:53,834 --> 00:32:55,709
And here is the boss.
509
00:32:55,750 --> 00:32:59,667
We're looking at videos
from 11 years ago. Eya was this high.
510
00:32:59,750 --> 00:33:01,750
Yes, I remember.
511
00:33:01,834 --> 00:33:04,625
I was about as tall as my jacket.
512
00:33:04,709 --> 00:33:06,917
They were this high.
Her and Tayssir.
513
00:33:08,334 --> 00:33:10,418
"The Singing of Man."
514
00:33:11,625 --> 00:33:16,542
Thanks to security, humans rise up
515
00:33:17,126 --> 00:33:22,625
Thanks to security, humans rise up
516
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:25,625
Security makes the children happy
517
00:33:25,709 --> 00:33:28,376
The young and not so young
518
00:33:28,459 --> 00:33:30,959
Security makes the children happy
519
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,625
The young and not so young
520
00:33:33,709 --> 00:33:36,292
The happiness of our mothers
521
00:33:36,376 --> 00:33:37,959
And our beloved homeland
522
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,042
And our beloved homeland
523
00:33:39,542 --> 00:33:43,376
And our beloved homeland
524
00:33:43,459 --> 00:33:45,000
In the name of God,
525
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,792
dear people of Tunisia,
526
00:33:48,834 --> 00:33:50,625
I stand before you,
527
00:33:51,875 --> 00:33:53,875
before all of you,
528
00:33:54,834 --> 00:33:56,667
in Tunisia and abroad...
529
00:33:57,084 --> 00:33:58,334
Beat it!
530
00:33:58,376 --> 00:34:01,500
Liberty!
531
00:34:05,042 --> 00:34:07,500
Freedom!
532
00:34:11,542 --> 00:34:15,376
That day, I was cleaning
in this lady's house.
533
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,917
I was all alone,
and I was thinking as I cleaned.
534
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,459
When I take a decision,
I talk to myself.
535
00:34:31,459 --> 00:34:32,542
"I don't want this anymore.
536
00:34:32,959 --> 00:34:36,500
The people who are leading
this revolution are no better than me.
537
00:34:36,834 --> 00:34:39,500
I can revolutionize my life as well."
538
00:34:39,542 --> 00:34:41,875
I was waiting
until my children were older.
539
00:34:41,959 --> 00:34:43,792
Why? For my daughters?
540
00:34:43,875 --> 00:34:45,709
They will be better off without him.
541
00:34:46,418 --> 00:34:48,583
They never see him in any case.
542
00:34:48,625 --> 00:34:50,875
He doesn't give them affection
or money.
543
00:34:50,959 --> 00:34:54,542
He never does anything with them.
He never takes them to school.
544
00:34:56,625 --> 00:34:59,376
"He has stolen your youth,
why do you put up with him?
545
00:34:59,875 --> 00:35:02,251
You can have a new life."
546
00:35:02,334 --> 00:35:03,667
She asked, what brought me there.
547
00:35:04,834 --> 00:35:07,459
And like that, we went to stay
with my sister.
548
00:35:08,042 --> 00:35:10,959
She was surprised.
I said to her: "That's it.
549
00:35:11,418 --> 00:35:15,583
Tunisia has had its revolution.
Now I'm having mine."
550
00:35:16,959 --> 00:35:20,292
I had only just arrived,
that same day,
551
00:35:20,376 --> 00:35:23,000
when my affair with Wissem began.
552
00:35:30,459 --> 00:35:32,251
Hi, Mohammed.
553
00:35:32,709 --> 00:35:34,792
There's no Mohammed here.
554
00:35:36,583 --> 00:35:37,625
Oh really?
555
00:35:38,667 --> 00:35:41,251
Sorry, wrong number.
556
00:35:41,459 --> 00:35:46,000
At that time,
cell phones were a novelty.
557
00:35:46,583 --> 00:35:50,750
With my daughters, we had fun
calling numbers at random.
558
00:35:57,500 --> 00:36:00,500
You've got me in trouble with my wife.
Who are you?
559
00:36:02,625 --> 00:36:03,792
Your wife?
Oh, this woman.
560
00:36:03,834 --> 00:36:05,917
Put her on, I will apologize.
561
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,792
It's fine, there is no wife.
562
00:36:10,959 --> 00:36:12,500
But who are you?
563
00:36:12,917 --> 00:36:14,583
He totally cast a spell on me.
564
00:36:15,459 --> 00:36:21,709
He unlocked the woman,
the teenager inside me.
565
00:36:21,792 --> 00:36:26,792
I became debauched,
rebellious, adolescent.
566
00:36:26,875 --> 00:36:28,459
I did it all.
567
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:31,418
I did everything I wanted.
I wanted to love this man.
568
00:36:31,459 --> 00:36:36,459
I wanted to experience
everything I hadn't experienced yet.
569
00:36:43,959 --> 00:36:47,500
He had escaped from prison
during the revolution.
570
00:36:47,542 --> 00:36:50,834
He needed a place where he could hide.
571
00:36:50,875 --> 00:36:54,667
The police officers had no idea
that I existed.
572
00:36:54,709 --> 00:36:57,583
Nobody could have suspected
that I was harboring a fugitive.
573
00:37:01,542 --> 00:37:03,500
Do you know why he was in prison?
574
00:37:03,542 --> 00:37:07,542
Yes, for a crime. He killed someone.
575
00:37:09,418 --> 00:37:13,376
He told me everything.
He didn't hide anything.
576
00:37:13,459 --> 00:37:15,376
I knew everything.
577
00:37:15,667 --> 00:37:17,292
It didn't scare you, this crime?
578
00:37:17,334 --> 00:37:20,500
Not at all.
To me he was like an angel.
579
00:37:21,292 --> 00:37:23,542
I didn't find any fault in him.
580
00:37:23,625 --> 00:37:28,209
For me, he was the most handsome,
the most masculine,
581
00:37:28,292 --> 00:37:31,292
nicest and most adorable man.
582
00:37:31,875 --> 00:37:36,542
If he had killed someone in front of me,
I would have helped him hide the body.
583
00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:39,126
Really.
584
00:37:39,209 --> 00:37:43,209
Together,
we shared incredible experiences,
585
00:37:43,251 --> 00:37:46,334
that are unspeakable.
And for me, it was normal.
586
00:37:46,376 --> 00:37:49,625
When he got out of prison,
a friend told him: "There's an old lady.
587
00:37:49,709 --> 00:37:52,459
She's really old but a nympho.
588
00:37:52,542 --> 00:37:58,209
Go see her, pleasure her,
and she'll give you your pocket money."
589
00:37:58,542 --> 00:38:01,459
He went there,
and she gave him 50 dinars.
590
00:38:01,583 --> 00:38:06,126
Some time later,
when we were flat broke,
591
00:38:06,209 --> 00:38:07,459
he asked me what I thought.
592
00:38:07,542 --> 00:38:09,750
"The old lady is our only solution."
593
00:38:09,834 --> 00:38:12,542
I went with him to her place!
594
00:38:13,376 --> 00:38:16,542
She had just died,
her casket was at the front door!
595
00:38:23,625 --> 00:38:24,709
Action!
596
00:38:25,251 --> 00:38:27,709
I kept my mouth shut about him,
for Mom.
597
00:38:29,709 --> 00:38:32,376
I could have got my revenge on him,
so easily.
598
00:38:33,542 --> 00:38:37,334
And he was a butcher
so there were lots of knives at home.
599
00:38:47,625 --> 00:38:49,126
What did he take?
600
00:38:49,209 --> 00:38:50,459
Everything.
601
00:38:51,583 --> 00:38:53,167
What? Pills?
602
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:57,376
Yes, pills, all kinds of them.
603
00:38:57,792 --> 00:39:01,583
He would become weird.
604
00:39:01,625 --> 00:39:06,126
People take drugs
to enjoy themselves, right?
605
00:39:06,209 --> 00:39:07,542
Not him.
606
00:39:07,625 --> 00:39:10,625
He couldn't even control his body...
607
00:39:10,667 --> 00:39:12,418
He couldn't even speak?
608
00:39:12,459 --> 00:39:15,834
He was unable to speak,
he became like this...
609
00:39:16,334 --> 00:39:19,459
All shaky, with a nasty look.
610
00:39:20,126 --> 00:39:23,625
His actions turned nasty,
his words too.
611
00:39:24,334 --> 00:39:29,834
The first year with Wissem,
it was good.
612
00:39:29,875 --> 00:39:31,709
We were young.
613
00:39:31,792 --> 00:39:32,334
Mm.
614
00:39:32,875 --> 00:39:37,792
We weren't used to someone
being nice to us.
615
00:39:38,334 --> 00:39:41,126
And he was nice.
Or that's how it seemed to us.
616
00:39:41,167 --> 00:39:45,750
But then he didn't act the same
with all of us.
617
00:39:45,834 --> 00:39:48,792
He was nice to one of us
and nasty to the other.
618
00:39:48,834 --> 00:39:52,376
And all that in secret.
619
00:39:52,459 --> 00:39:54,126
What do you mean, "in secret"?
620
00:39:54,334 --> 00:39:58,126
For example,
he was kind and gentle with me.
621
00:39:58,167 --> 00:40:02,542
And he was the one who bought food
for us. We didn't have much.
622
00:40:03,251 --> 00:40:07,418
But he was our mother's boyfriend
and her daughters' boyfriend, let's say.
623
00:40:09,126 --> 00:40:12,084
When he got bored of the mother,
he moved on to her girls.
624
00:40:12,167 --> 00:40:15,334
The night with the mother
and the day with the daughters.
625
00:40:19,334 --> 00:40:21,209
Are you at peace with yourself?
626
00:40:21,251 --> 00:40:22,834
Do you have a clear conscience?
627
00:40:25,126 --> 00:40:27,209
I never loved you.
628
00:40:27,583 --> 00:40:31,625
What I loved, was the happiness
in my mother's eyes.
629
00:40:33,376 --> 00:40:34,625
Nothing else.
630
00:40:37,334 --> 00:40:40,500
I thought that you would be the father
that I had never had.
631
00:40:42,167 --> 00:40:44,209
But you made me hate the idea
of a father.
632
00:40:49,792 --> 00:40:52,126
What have Rahma
and Ghofrane done to you?
633
00:40:56,750 --> 00:40:58,292
What has Tayssir done to you?
634
00:41:02,084 --> 00:41:05,542
"She's my daughter, my favorite."
That's what you said, you liar.
635
00:41:07,084 --> 00:41:09,334
No father should do that.
636
00:41:13,418 --> 00:41:15,126
Why did you do that?
637
00:41:20,126 --> 00:41:21,334
I hate you.
638
00:41:21,418 --> 00:41:23,667
I will never forgive you for it.
639
00:41:26,500 --> 00:41:28,251
I hate you.
640
00:41:47,251 --> 00:41:48,418
Can we cut?
641
00:42:12,042 --> 00:42:13,167
What's up?
642
00:42:13,209 --> 00:42:15,625
There's something that's bothering me.
643
00:42:16,334 --> 00:42:17,459
Can you explain?
644
00:42:17,500 --> 00:42:21,000
No.
It's not something for the cameras.
645
00:42:21,042 --> 00:42:24,000
It will be a discussion
between you and me, outside.
646
00:42:27,251 --> 00:42:28,583
Shall we cut, Kaouther?
647
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,418
Well, can we get to work?
648
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:33,459
Come on!
649
00:42:33,500 --> 00:42:35,251
No, he doesn't want to.
650
00:42:36,167 --> 00:42:39,042
Tell him that we need this scene.
651
00:42:39,126 --> 00:42:41,334
I need the audience to see it.
652
00:42:42,209 --> 00:42:44,959
So that people know
who this man really is.
653
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,334
I want him to help me.
He should see it as supporting me.
654
00:42:51,167 --> 00:42:54,084
I've already replayed this scene
with a shrink.
655
00:42:54,209 --> 00:42:55,209
I've gotten over it.
656
00:42:55,251 --> 00:42:57,418
It's not new.
It's not the first time.
657
00:42:58,376 --> 00:43:01,667
I've done this exercise in hospital,
surrounded by shrinks.
658
00:43:01,709 --> 00:43:03,042
And much worse, even.
659
00:43:03,126 --> 00:43:06,376
-This is a film now.
-I know, I'm aware of that.
660
00:43:06,459 --> 00:43:09,625
Film or not,
I've moved on from this.
661
00:43:11,084 --> 00:43:12,209
Don't let it bother you.
662
00:43:12,292 --> 00:43:15,042
He shouldn't be scared.
I know what I'm doing.
663
00:43:16,251 --> 00:43:20,334
It's just dialogue.
He's an actor, he knows that.
664
00:43:20,376 --> 00:43:22,292
He just has to think that I'm acting.
665
00:43:22,709 --> 00:43:25,542
Tell him that it's lines of dialogue
that I've learned.
666
00:43:27,209 --> 00:43:31,167
I've already said all that.
667
00:43:32,209 --> 00:43:33,418
Do you get it, Kaouther?
668
00:43:34,418 --> 00:43:38,418
Don't be afraid of me!
Tell him that.
669
00:43:38,459 --> 00:43:39,750
And you, Tayssir?
670
00:43:40,251 --> 00:43:41,583
No, it's fine.
671
00:43:41,625 --> 00:43:42,500
Hm?
672
00:43:42,583 --> 00:43:44,542
All good. It's just that...
673
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,500
I haven't been able to...
674
00:43:49,625 --> 00:43:52,251
I can't hate him.
675
00:43:52,542 --> 00:43:55,084
Despite everything he did to me,
I just can't.
676
00:43:55,167 --> 00:44:00,917
Yes I am angry.
Yes I want him to pay for it.
677
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,251
But I'm not able to hate him.
It's weird.
678
00:44:03,667 --> 00:44:08,334
Maybe because...
I don't hate my father either.
679
00:44:08,418 --> 00:44:12,500
And to me,
Wissem was more than a father.
680
00:44:13,167 --> 00:44:16,917
When I was a little girl,
I thought of him as a father.
681
00:44:17,292 --> 00:44:21,459
I could never have imagined
he would do such things.
682
00:44:21,542 --> 00:44:25,709
And despite everything,
I am unable to hate him.
683
00:44:33,126 --> 00:44:36,583
He lied to my mother.
He made up stories to her.
684
00:44:36,625 --> 00:44:40,334
That's what we want to prove
to her as well.
685
00:44:41,667 --> 00:44:46,459
For a long time,
Mom said to us that Wissem
686
00:44:47,126 --> 00:44:49,126
was our victim.
687
00:44:49,167 --> 00:44:53,834
She said that it was our fault
that she had lost him.
688
00:44:53,917 --> 00:44:58,500
We're the ones who are lost
because of him.
689
00:44:58,625 --> 00:45:01,167
We're the ones who are lost.
690
00:45:01,542 --> 00:45:02,625
That's the truth.
691
00:46:11,959 --> 00:46:16,042
My love is renewed
692
00:46:16,084 --> 00:46:20,042
My love, it multiplies
693
00:46:20,126 --> 00:46:24,334
My love is renewed
694
00:46:24,418 --> 00:46:28,126
My love, it multiplies
695
00:46:28,209 --> 00:46:31,959
I've loved you for so long
696
00:46:32,042 --> 00:46:35,959
Since when you were a child
697
00:46:36,209 --> 00:46:38,251
I've loved you with all my heart
698
00:46:38,334 --> 00:46:40,209
I've loved you with all my blood
699
00:46:40,251 --> 00:46:42,459
I've loved you with all my heart
700
00:46:42,542 --> 00:46:45,000
I've loved you with all my blood
701
00:46:45,084 --> 00:46:49,084
You were the flame
and I was the butterfly
702
00:46:49,126 --> 00:46:53,084
You were the earth and I was the farmer
703
00:46:53,167 --> 00:46:57,167
You were the sea
and I was the drowned sailor
704
00:46:57,251 --> 00:47:00,834
I always come back to you...
705
00:47:01,167 --> 00:47:04,000
Stop, I can't take it!
706
00:47:04,126 --> 00:47:06,126
You're there,
showing us your butterfly!
707
00:47:08,209 --> 00:47:10,126
And you dare to complain!
708
00:47:11,500 --> 00:47:14,292
I hadn't realized
that they had grown up,
709
00:47:14,334 --> 00:47:18,126
until when I divorced their father
and I went to live in Sousse.
710
00:47:18,209 --> 00:47:22,000
You would have thought
they were different girls!
711
00:47:22,084 --> 00:47:24,959
They had changed.
They had grown up.
712
00:47:32,251 --> 00:47:35,959
When I was little
and my breasts started growing...
713
00:47:37,126 --> 00:47:38,084
I was ashamed!
714
00:47:38,126 --> 00:47:40,376
Mine still haven't grown yet!
715
00:47:40,959 --> 00:47:44,792
I didn't want to sleep on them.
I was scared they would sink in.
716
00:47:46,084 --> 00:47:48,875
That they'd go back in,
and it would leave holes.
717
00:47:50,042 --> 00:47:55,917
Rahma and a cousin put two glasses
around my breasts.
718
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:00,000
It stopped them growing more!
719
00:48:00,917 --> 00:48:03,917
I was 11 years old.
720
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,500
My sisters made fun of me,
instead of being supportive.
721
00:48:08,542 --> 00:48:11,500
-They made fun of me.
-Because of your periods?
722
00:48:11,542 --> 00:48:17,126
Yes, because I put the towel
the wrong way round, sticky side up!
723
00:48:17,500 --> 00:48:19,000
And the cotton underneath.
724
00:48:19,834 --> 00:48:21,000
When I pulled it off...
725
00:48:23,459 --> 00:48:27,500
-I can't even begin to tell you!
-That must have been so painful.
726
00:48:28,042 --> 00:48:32,209
I didn't know! I pulled it off.
My pubic hair made this sound...
727
00:48:35,875 --> 00:48:37,834
Eya, there's a man here!
728
00:48:39,334 --> 00:48:41,251
So what? He's doing his job!
729
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,167
And anyway, he's filming you.
730
00:48:49,334 --> 00:48:52,292
Kaouther, I have to tell you
about when I discovered the...
731
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,875
Olfa, no! No hitting!
732
00:48:59,126 --> 00:49:00,500
Get off me!
733
00:49:00,709 --> 00:49:01,792
What's that?!
734
00:49:05,167 --> 00:49:07,042
My poor butterfly.
735
00:49:12,292 --> 00:49:15,000
I am sexy, I've been told
736
00:49:15,875 --> 00:49:16,959
Okay, Mom?
737
00:49:18,834 --> 00:49:20,500
What a bunch of whores!
738
00:49:27,792 --> 00:49:28,917
You little slut!
739
00:49:28,959 --> 00:49:32,084
We didn't do anything!
Nothing at all, I swear to you!
740
00:49:32,459 --> 00:49:34,376
Get off him, Mom!
741
00:49:34,418 --> 00:49:36,917
Just you wait, you. You'll see!
742
00:49:36,959 --> 00:49:40,709
She had a private journal
and she wrote down everything in it.
743
00:49:40,750 --> 00:49:44,084
Tayssir came to show it to me.
She was very close to Rahma.
744
00:49:44,376 --> 00:49:48,292
I read it and found out
that she was talking about a boy, Onssi.
745
00:49:48,418 --> 00:49:54,959
"Your skin is a soft as a baby's,
your eyes as blue as the summer sky.
746
00:49:55,459 --> 00:49:58,292
You were the first to kiss me.
747
00:49:58,334 --> 00:50:01,251
Your kiss awakened things
inside me..."
748
00:50:01,292 --> 00:50:03,418
The word "kiss" sent me crazy!
749
00:50:03,459 --> 00:50:08,000
-Where's the harm in all that?
-She said that a boy had kissed her!
750
00:50:08,084 --> 00:50:10,418
But come on, all girls do that!
751
00:50:10,459 --> 00:50:12,875
I don't care. I don't want that.
752
00:50:12,959 --> 00:50:13,917
You never did that?
753
00:50:13,959 --> 00:50:16,875
No. And even when I was married
the asshole didn't kiss me.
754
00:50:16,959 --> 00:50:19,959
I wouldn't have gone and remarried
if he had kissed me.
755
00:50:23,625 --> 00:50:26,542
Her high school told me:
"Rahma is skipping class.
756
00:50:26,625 --> 00:50:28,917
We have sent you a notification."
757
00:50:28,959 --> 00:50:30,834
What do you mean skipping class?
758
00:50:31,459 --> 00:50:33,500
That is when the supervisors
explained to me
759
00:50:33,583 --> 00:50:35,917
that she had become a goth.
760
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,667
That she came in wearing black makeup,
761
00:50:40,709 --> 00:50:44,500
that she was hitting the other students.
762
00:50:44,583 --> 00:50:47,500
That she was doing things,
763
00:50:47,542 --> 00:50:50,625
weird rituals,
things that were shocking.
764
00:50:50,667 --> 00:50:52,667
I don't even want to say
what they were.
765
00:50:52,709 --> 00:50:55,667
But they said that she was
a worshiper of Satan.
766
00:50:56,500 --> 00:51:00,042
A Satanist. I don't like that word.
767
00:51:18,376 --> 00:51:19,418
Sorry, Mom!
768
00:51:19,500 --> 00:51:22,542
You have brought Satan into my house!
769
00:51:22,625 --> 00:51:23,792
The devil!
770
00:51:24,667 --> 00:51:27,334
-In my home!
-It is already full of devils.
771
00:51:27,834 --> 00:51:30,500
In the name of God!
772
00:51:30,542 --> 00:51:32,583
What's up with her, Mom?
773
00:51:32,667 --> 00:51:34,709
In the name of God!
774
00:51:35,042 --> 00:51:36,500
God protect us.
775
00:51:36,542 --> 00:51:38,042
God protect us.
776
00:51:38,251 --> 00:51:40,376
"In the name of Allah"
777
00:51:40,418 --> 00:51:43,542
All praise is due to Allah,
Lord of the worlds -
778
00:51:43,625 --> 00:51:45,459
The Entirely Merciful,
the Especially Merciful,
779
00:51:45,542 --> 00:51:47,709
Sovereign of the Day of Recompense.
780
00:51:47,750 --> 00:51:52,709
It is You we worship
and You we ask for help.
781
00:51:54,750 --> 00:51:59,667
When Mom was working in Libya,
Ghofrane took advantage of it.
782
00:51:59,959 --> 00:52:02,750
She dated a guy with a motorcycle.
783
00:52:03,459 --> 00:52:07,959
But she couldn't get on the motorcycle
with long hairs like that.
784
00:52:08,917 --> 00:52:11,709
So she went to have her legs waxed.
785
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,459
After that, she disowned us.
786
00:52:14,542 --> 00:52:18,667
She said that she was an only child,
that her mother was working in Dubai,
787
00:52:18,750 --> 00:52:21,500
that she had a mansion someplace,
788
00:52:21,583 --> 00:52:24,834
with a swimming pool...
Basically, she had everything.
789
00:52:25,583 --> 00:52:29,917
The neighbor who looked after us,
she had become Mom's snitch.
790
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,917
-The supervisor.
-The supervisor, yes.
791
00:52:32,376 --> 00:52:34,376
She said that she was the maid.
792
00:52:34,459 --> 00:52:35,459
The nerve!
793
00:52:35,500 --> 00:52:39,292
One day, this lady called Mom.
794
00:52:39,334 --> 00:52:43,583
"Come back,
your daughter is out of control."
795
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,625
She took the first bus.
796
00:52:45,667 --> 00:52:48,292
We didn't think we were doing
any wrong.
797
00:52:48,376 --> 00:52:52,709
We thought that her hair looked nice.
798
00:52:52,792 --> 00:52:55,418
We wanted ours to be the same.
799
00:52:55,459 --> 00:52:56,583
Girls, Mom's here.
800
00:52:57,292 --> 00:52:58,459
Mom.
801
00:53:03,459 --> 00:53:05,583
Get out. You, stay.
802
00:53:06,917 --> 00:53:08,292
You, stay here.
803
00:53:12,583 --> 00:53:13,792
Ghofrane...
804
00:53:14,625 --> 00:53:15,875
My daughter.
805
00:53:16,917 --> 00:53:18,000
Your hair...
806
00:53:21,709 --> 00:53:22,792
Is it new?
807
00:53:24,583 --> 00:53:27,500
Hang on... You've waxed?
808
00:53:27,583 --> 00:53:30,334
-You've waxed, Ghofrane?
-Sorry, Mom.
809
00:53:30,418 --> 00:53:32,376
-You've waxed?
-Sorry, Mom.
810
00:53:32,459 --> 00:53:34,334
You've waxed your legs, Ghofrane?
811
00:53:34,418 --> 00:53:36,376
What else have you waxed?
812
00:53:36,459 --> 00:53:37,500
Answer me.
813
00:53:37,583 --> 00:53:38,583
You've become a woman?
814
00:53:38,667 --> 00:53:42,251
While I'm working in Libya,
you're slacking off?
815
00:53:42,334 --> 00:53:47,334
What? Just show me, show me.
816
00:53:47,376 --> 00:53:49,667
You think that you're a woman now?
817
00:53:49,750 --> 00:53:51,625
I'm sorry, Mom.
818
00:53:51,667 --> 00:53:53,875
Show me.
Show me what you've waxed.
819
00:54:01,334 --> 00:54:02,542
May God forgive me.
820
00:54:04,792 --> 00:54:07,875
I didn't give her a chance,
821
00:54:07,917 --> 00:54:12,418
I didn't let her defend herself.
822
00:54:12,875 --> 00:54:15,667
She'd had her hair cut into a bob.
823
00:54:15,709 --> 00:54:18,292
I ripped out a clump of hair like that.
824
00:54:18,542 --> 00:54:20,334
In my hand.
825
00:54:20,376 --> 00:54:22,625
I totally destroyed her.
826
00:54:23,376 --> 00:54:25,709
When she hits you,
it's not just a couple of slaps.
827
00:54:25,750 --> 00:54:29,459
She enjoys it.
She takes the gas hose,
828
00:54:29,542 --> 00:54:31,376
she doubles it in half,
829
00:54:31,418 --> 00:54:33,376
and she hits and hits.
830
00:54:33,418 --> 00:54:36,875
We heard a whistling sound
from the force of the movement.
831
00:54:37,376 --> 00:54:41,709
She was crying, begging me.
The neighbor came to her defense.
832
00:54:42,418 --> 00:54:44,834
I hit him too and I threw him out.
833
00:54:44,917 --> 00:54:47,292
After the pipe,
I took the broom handle.
834
00:54:47,376 --> 00:54:49,418
It ended up in pieces!
835
00:54:49,834 --> 00:54:53,376
When she stopped moving,
836
00:54:54,917 --> 00:54:57,834
I thought that she was dead.
And I stopped.
837
00:55:09,251 --> 00:55:13,583
My sisters, I know that among you,
838
00:55:13,667 --> 00:55:16,251
there are those
who don't wear the hijab
839
00:55:16,334 --> 00:55:17,583
and don't pray.
840
00:55:17,667 --> 00:55:23,418
Some want to repent
but they don't dare to come to us.
841
00:55:23,542 --> 00:55:27,209
We will deliver the hijab to your homes!
842
00:55:27,292 --> 00:55:30,834
In our eyes,
you are the wonderful mother,
843
00:55:30,917 --> 00:55:33,167
the virtuous mother,
844
00:55:33,251 --> 00:55:34,292
the tender breast,
845
00:55:34,376 --> 00:55:37,459
the vast sea, self-sacrifice.
846
00:55:37,542 --> 00:55:41,126
You are also the precious wife
whom we protect.
847
00:55:41,209 --> 00:55:42,209
[inaudible Arabic]
848
00:55:43,376 --> 00:55:49,292
It was an ordinary morning.
We heard that there was an event.
849
00:55:49,376 --> 00:55:52,792
We went to the square
where we found a tent with preachers.
850
00:55:52,834 --> 00:55:57,376
They said that they were going
to give out hijabs.
851
00:55:57,459 --> 00:56:01,126
The women of the neighborhood
wanted to take them
852
00:56:01,167 --> 00:56:03,792
and sell them on to make some money.
853
00:56:04,418 --> 00:56:07,834
One of the girls in the neighborhood,
called Nessrine,
854
00:56:07,875 --> 00:56:10,583
told Ghofrane to go and help herself.
855
00:56:10,667 --> 00:56:12,792
So she went to take a hijab.
856
00:56:12,834 --> 00:56:19,376
When she got to the square,
a sheikh put the hijab on her,
857
00:56:19,459 --> 00:56:23,625
and began shouting: "She is the moon!",
because my sister is beautiful.
858
00:56:23,667 --> 00:56:27,084
When she came back home,
we all made fun of her.
859
00:56:27,167 --> 00:56:30,459
We told her to go and sell it
before it became used,
860
00:56:30,500 --> 00:56:33,084
otherwise people
would refuse to buy it.
861
00:56:33,167 --> 00:56:35,334
But she didn't want to take it off.
862
00:56:41,126 --> 00:56:43,376
When Ghofrane began to wear the veil,
863
00:56:43,875 --> 00:56:46,418
we really gave her a hard time.
864
00:56:46,500 --> 00:56:47,500
What does that mean?
865
00:56:48,376 --> 00:56:52,292
Rahma called her a bat.
866
00:56:52,376 --> 00:56:54,376
"Batman! You look ridiculous!"
867
00:56:54,750 --> 00:56:55,625
Exactly.
868
00:56:55,709 --> 00:56:59,376
"Look at you, your hair, your beauty...
You're wasting it.
869
00:56:59,459 --> 00:57:01,667
Who will the boys
from the neighborhood date?"
870
00:57:03,292 --> 00:57:05,459
Look at that, a walking black soap!
871
00:57:05,542 --> 00:57:08,667
I'm stuck with looking
at that every day?
872
00:57:09,126 --> 00:57:11,292
What's with her,
and you like this, Mom?
873
00:57:11,376 --> 00:57:12,209
Mom, talk to her.
874
00:57:13,167 --> 00:57:14,376
Leave your sister alone.
875
00:57:14,418 --> 00:57:16,709
I'm ashamed! You like it?
876
00:57:16,750 --> 00:57:19,251
Yes, I like it.
And you should do the same.
877
00:57:19,334 --> 00:57:24,042
Mom, respect is a mentality.
It's a way of behaving.
878
00:57:24,084 --> 00:57:28,334
We are people living here
879
00:57:28,418 --> 00:57:31,418
[layered Arabic]
880
00:57:33,418 --> 00:57:35,126
Look!
881
00:57:56,750 --> 00:57:57,583
Are you okay?
882
00:58:04,418 --> 00:58:05,542
It's understandable.
883
00:58:06,251 --> 00:58:09,542
I can't even bring myself
to look at her.
884
00:58:16,251 --> 00:58:20,418
How old were you when Ghofrane
started wearing the niqab?
885
00:58:21,709 --> 00:58:23,292
I was eight years old.
886
00:58:25,167 --> 00:58:27,334
And when she left, I was eleven.
887
00:58:31,792 --> 00:58:34,750
And what were you like
when you were eight?
888
00:58:36,334 --> 00:58:38,292
I was horrible!
889
00:58:38,334 --> 00:58:39,583
In what way?
890
00:58:40,126 --> 00:58:41,334
I was really ugly!
891
00:58:42,709 --> 00:58:43,500
I was really ugly.
892
00:58:45,709 --> 00:58:46,792
I'm okay.
893
00:58:48,251 --> 00:58:52,167
-We can carry on, Kaouther.
-Great, let's do it.
894
00:58:54,583 --> 00:58:57,667
It began to spread
throughout the neighborhood.
895
00:58:57,709 --> 00:59:00,209
There were a lot more veiled women.
896
00:59:00,583 --> 00:59:05,084
Two weeks later,
Rahma went out grocery shopping.
897
00:59:05,167 --> 00:59:10,334
She was wearing a T-shirt
with an image of the antichrist on it.
898
00:59:11,251 --> 00:59:14,126
She often wore that T-shirt.
899
00:59:14,167 --> 00:59:18,334
That day, she came home
in a real state, in tears,
900
00:59:18,418 --> 00:59:21,583
and she asked Ghofrane
to buy her a hijab.
901
00:59:21,667 --> 00:59:25,126
We insisted that she tell us
what had happened.
902
00:59:25,167 --> 00:59:28,209
A certain Mr. Mustapha,
along with some other men,
903
00:59:28,292 --> 00:59:33,418
had blocked her path
and spoken about the antichrist to her.
904
00:59:33,542 --> 00:59:37,667
And they had mentioned
the punishments of the grave.
905
00:59:37,709 --> 00:59:42,000
That's what had scared her the most,
the punishments of the grave.
906
00:59:42,251 --> 00:59:44,167
So she began to wear the hijab as well,
907
00:59:44,209 --> 00:59:48,376
but she became much more radical
than Ghofrane.
908
00:59:51,542 --> 00:59:54,167
-Do you find me sexy?
-To die for!
909
00:59:54,209 --> 00:59:55,376
Drop dead sexy.
910
00:59:56,376 --> 00:59:57,625
Where are her eyes?
911
00:59:59,167 --> 01:00:00,292
Bring that down a bit.
912
01:00:01,292 --> 01:00:03,042
There they are!
913
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,542
-Lovely.
-Yes.
914
01:00:09,042 --> 01:00:10,126
Yes. Fix it, here.
915
01:00:10,709 --> 01:00:12,376
Do you know what shocks me?
916
01:00:12,500 --> 01:00:15,418
There wasn't any of that
before the revolution.
917
01:00:15,500 --> 01:00:17,625
No niqab, no hijab.
Nothing.
918
01:00:17,709 --> 01:00:21,251
If someone wanted to wear the hijab
they would wear it at home.
919
01:00:21,667 --> 01:00:23,542
If not, the police would take you away.
920
01:00:24,167 --> 01:00:27,334
And they would hit you
with their batons.
921
01:00:27,418 --> 01:00:31,167
Under Ben Ali, before the revolution,
922
01:00:31,251 --> 01:00:35,000
you weren't even allowed
to wear a headscarf.
923
01:00:35,042 --> 01:00:39,209
Those women who wore it
were arrested by the police.
924
01:00:39,583 --> 01:00:44,376
They wanted to impose an ideal
of the Tunisian woman.
925
01:00:44,418 --> 01:00:46,126
How she should be,
926
01:00:46,209 --> 01:00:49,126
what she is allowed to do or not.
927
01:00:49,209 --> 01:00:53,209
So much so, that back then,
wearing a headscarf
928
01:00:53,542 --> 01:00:57,126
was an act of resistance,
929
01:00:57,167 --> 01:01:00,292
a way of opposing the established order.
930
01:01:00,376 --> 01:01:05,542
Because the hijab was banned
before the revolution,
931
01:01:06,209 --> 01:01:09,542
it became a kind of symbol
of rebellion.
932
01:01:09,625 --> 01:01:12,376
We are always drawn toward
the forbidden, actually.
933
01:01:12,459 --> 01:01:14,167
"What do you mean, no hijab?
934
01:01:14,251 --> 01:01:17,126
I'm going to rebel and wear it then."
935
01:01:17,500 --> 01:01:20,875
And during the revolution,
my mother, my family,
936
01:01:20,959 --> 01:01:23,292
and even me, as just a young girl,
we said:
937
01:01:23,334 --> 01:01:27,042
"Ok, let's vote for those who love God
and wear the hijab again.
938
01:01:27,126 --> 01:01:32,126
They are closer to God.
They will better solve our problems."
939
01:01:32,459 --> 01:01:35,418
They want to mold women
as they want them to be.
940
01:01:35,500 --> 01:01:37,542
Map out our lives for us,
941
01:01:37,625 --> 01:01:41,126
and shape women
in the way that they see them.
942
01:01:41,167 --> 01:01:42,376
No more, no less.
943
01:01:42,459 --> 01:01:46,084
Not let us do what we want to do.
944
01:01:46,167 --> 01:01:49,418
Like dolls that they manipulate
as they please.
945
01:01:49,500 --> 01:01:51,625
That they would dress as they like.
946
01:01:51,667 --> 01:01:53,875
With no rights.
947
01:01:53,959 --> 01:01:58,000
For example, a girl like you
who has beautiful eyes,
948
01:01:58,084 --> 01:02:00,167
she wears it to one side
and it becomes alluring.
949
01:02:00,251 --> 01:02:01,542
Isn't that sinful?
950
01:02:01,625 --> 01:02:05,583
Yes, but I'm speaking of those
who wear it for aesthetic reasons.
951
01:02:05,667 --> 01:02:07,167
And so Rahma...
952
01:02:07,251 --> 01:02:08,251
Go, go.
953
01:02:08,334 --> 01:02:10,251
She pulls that down too.
954
01:02:11,917 --> 01:02:12,583
Yes, like this.
955
01:02:12,667 --> 01:02:15,583
-She pulls it down like that.
-Really? A blackboard.
956
01:02:15,667 --> 01:02:18,875
So that you don't see
the outline of her shoulders.
957
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,459
A solid block. Nothing stands out.
958
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,418
You shouldn't be able
to make out any shape?
959
01:02:24,500 --> 01:02:27,875
Nothing. Not a hand, nor a foot.
Nothing.
960
01:02:27,917 --> 01:02:31,126
And when you walk, you have to march.
Like that.
961
01:02:32,459 --> 01:02:34,251
Seriously?
I have to march too?
962
01:02:34,334 --> 01:02:38,042
Like that, with your head down,
taking long strides.
963
01:02:38,126 --> 01:02:40,251
Whereas for Ghofrane,
you walk like this.
964
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:43,917
You don't even hear her footsteps.
965
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:47,917
And at the same time, my dear Ghofrane,
you have to do this with your eyes.
966
01:02:48,875 --> 01:02:49,917
-Here.
-The beautiful eyes.
967
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,084
Show us those pretty eyes, Ghofrane.
968
01:02:52,167 --> 01:02:55,042
But then, why wear the niqab?
969
01:02:55,084 --> 01:02:58,334
Why?
For appearance's sake. It's a look.
970
01:02:58,418 --> 01:03:01,167
It was the fashion, at that time.
971
01:03:01,251 --> 01:03:05,875
Now, it's ripped jeans.
Back then, it was the niqab.
972
01:03:05,917 --> 01:03:07,126
Fashion!
973
01:03:07,917 --> 01:03:11,292
And once you are with the sisters,
time to pull the niqab up!
974
01:03:14,084 --> 01:03:16,167
We look at each other, as you do.
975
01:03:16,251 --> 01:03:17,209
Everything's fine.
976
01:03:17,251 --> 01:03:19,167
Go on, Ghofrane, lift yours up.
977
01:03:19,542 --> 01:03:20,834
Go on.
978
01:03:20,917 --> 01:03:22,875
I'd ask her to cover it.
979
01:03:23,167 --> 01:03:24,834
My God!
980
01:03:24,917 --> 01:03:27,251
Their reaction.
"My God! So beautiful!"
981
01:03:27,875 --> 01:03:30,334
-Sister, you are so beautiful!
-God is great!
982
01:03:30,418 --> 01:03:35,042
So beautiful that in the end,
they pulled her niqab back down.
983
01:03:35,084 --> 01:03:36,251
Why?
984
01:03:36,334 --> 01:03:43,209
The sisters were afraid
that their husbands would see her.
985
01:03:43,875 --> 01:03:48,042
-And that they would want to marry her?
-They can have four wives.
986
01:03:48,126 --> 01:03:52,084
They do a whole ritual
for a girl who wears the niqab.
987
01:03:52,126 --> 01:03:54,542
-Especially if she is impious.
-In what sense?
988
01:03:55,126 --> 01:03:56,209
A whore.
989
01:03:56,292 --> 01:03:58,000
No, I wouldn't go that far.
990
01:03:58,084 --> 01:04:01,209
The way you saw me just now.
991
01:04:01,959 --> 01:04:03,251
A woman who doesn't pray,
992
01:04:03,292 --> 01:04:07,834
who doesn't follow
the religious commandments.
993
01:04:07,917 --> 01:04:09,875
We throw her a little party.
994
01:04:09,959 --> 01:04:12,000
-How do you mean?
-Like a graduation ceremony.
995
01:04:12,418 --> 01:04:16,042
We dress her up
and we sing a song for her.
996
01:04:16,834 --> 01:04:18,418
-Which one?
-I'll sing it for you.
997
01:04:18,459 --> 01:04:20,126
Sing along with me.
998
01:04:20,209 --> 01:04:21,792
This was a strange saying.
999
01:04:21,917 --> 01:04:27,834
Oh my sister,
don't let Satan corrupt you
1000
01:04:27,875 --> 01:04:33,834
The hijab is a divine command
1001
01:04:33,875 --> 01:04:38,000
Oh my sister,
their words were foolish
1002
01:04:39,500 --> 01:04:44,000
They said that we were
as dark as the night
1003
01:04:45,167 --> 01:04:51,000
They laughed at the hijab
1004
01:04:51,042 --> 01:04:52,834
I adored Rahma.
1005
01:04:52,917 --> 01:04:57,376
She was my role model.
I tried to copy everything she did.
1006
01:04:57,459 --> 01:05:04,000
I was very close to her
and I really admired her.
1007
01:05:04,376 --> 01:05:07,875
When she began to wear the hijab,
I wore it too.
1008
01:05:07,917 --> 01:05:09,959
Eya didn't want to, at the start.
1009
01:05:10,042 --> 01:05:14,376
When Eya turned up
and Rahma and I were eating lunch,
1010
01:05:14,459 --> 01:05:18,126
we would push her away
and call her an infidel,
1011
01:05:18,209 --> 01:05:20,042
and she would start to cry.
1012
01:05:20,084 --> 01:05:24,000
It was the same
when she wanted to play with us.
1013
01:05:24,042 --> 01:05:29,418
We turned her away
because she wasn't wearing a hijab,
1014
01:05:29,500 --> 01:05:33,042
and each time, she would cry.
1015
01:05:33,126 --> 01:05:36,042
We got our way in the end.
1016
01:05:36,126 --> 01:05:38,709
We defeated her.
She ended up wearing a hijab,
1017
01:05:38,792 --> 01:05:41,376
just to live with us.
1018
01:05:41,459 --> 01:05:46,209
We really gave her a hard time.
1019
01:05:46,292 --> 01:05:51,750
When she finally wore the hijab,
we became a family of veiled women.
1020
01:05:51,834 --> 01:05:54,084
Like a small branch of Daesh at home.
1021
01:05:54,334 --> 01:05:57,000
We salute the Islamic State,
our State
1022
01:05:57,084 --> 01:05:59,459
Our State will triumph
1023
01:05:59,542 --> 01:06:02,251
And by the mightiest
1024
01:06:02,334 --> 01:06:05,209
Sharia Law will triumph
1025
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,251
-What is this song?
-It's for sharia law.
1026
01:06:09,084 --> 01:06:11,834
We salute Baghdadi
1027
01:06:13,084 --> 01:06:15,042
The cops will turn up.
1028
01:06:15,084 --> 01:06:17,209
Olfa, where did you learn these songs?
1029
01:06:17,251 --> 01:06:19,959
-With the girls.
-You sang with them?
1030
01:06:20,042 --> 01:06:22,000
Of course.
I did everything with them.
1031
01:06:22,251 --> 01:06:26,709
At the start, I was really happy
that they were wearing the hijab.
1032
01:06:26,792 --> 01:06:29,042
It didn't bother me at the beginning.
1033
01:06:29,126 --> 01:06:31,917
And then they grew ashamed of me.
1034
01:06:31,959 --> 01:06:33,917
Wearing pants
while they were all covered up.
1035
01:06:34,209 --> 01:06:36,000
Are you not ashamed?
1036
01:06:36,084 --> 01:06:37,959
Life comes to an end, you know.
1037
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:41,959
We will all end up above, up there.
What will you say in front of God?
1038
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,376
I'm not naked!
I wear a headscarf.
1039
01:06:44,459 --> 01:06:49,167
The headscarf isn't enough.
God said to cover the face.
1040
01:06:49,251 --> 01:06:50,959
And how can I work, dressed like that?
1041
01:06:51,042 --> 01:06:53,292
Are you working for your life
or for eternity?
1042
01:06:53,376 --> 01:06:55,667
Do you want to burn in Hell?
1043
01:06:55,750 --> 01:06:56,834
You don't even work!
1044
01:06:56,917 --> 01:06:59,334
You spend your days going
from one mosque to another.
1045
01:06:59,418 --> 01:07:01,959
At least I'm helping people, Mom.
1046
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,875
Start by helping your sisters
and your mother.
1047
01:07:04,959 --> 01:07:07,792
No. My heart is purer than yours.
1048
01:07:07,875 --> 01:07:11,167
-What do you know about my heart?
-I can see it in your face.
1049
01:07:11,209 --> 01:07:14,000
-Such a vicious tongue!
-Rahma has struck!
1050
01:07:14,418 --> 01:07:18,667
I am trying to warn you
so that God spares you
1051
01:07:18,750 --> 01:07:20,000
at the final judgement.
1052
01:07:20,084 --> 01:07:23,000
So that you don't burn
and fry in Hell.
1053
01:07:23,084 --> 01:07:25,084
I know where I will end up.
1054
01:07:25,167 --> 01:07:31,834
In the garden of Eden, up there,
with the houris.
1055
01:07:31,917 --> 01:07:35,709
Okay, and if I wear this outfit,
who will feed you?
1056
01:07:35,792 --> 01:07:37,209
Don't you worry about that.
1057
01:07:37,292 --> 01:07:40,376
-I can't work like that!
-You're finding excuses, Olfa.
1058
01:07:40,459 --> 01:07:43,875
It's your funeral.
We'll see what God has in store for you.
1059
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:46,709
You wear it if you want
but don't bug me about it.
1060
01:07:46,792 --> 01:07:50,834
People will laugh at you.
1061
01:07:50,917 --> 01:07:56,000
They will say: "The girls wear it,
but look at their mother!"
1062
01:07:56,251 --> 01:07:58,126
They will call you a loose woman.
1063
01:07:58,209 --> 01:08:00,376
But will you listen to this bitch!
1064
01:08:01,376 --> 01:08:04,000
Imagine, you go out
and a car runs you over.
1065
01:08:04,042 --> 01:08:06,000
It hits you and you die, right?
1066
01:08:06,042 --> 01:08:08,709
I'm not wishing that upon you,
but what will God do?
1067
01:08:08,792 --> 01:08:10,042
You scare me.
1068
01:08:11,709 --> 01:08:13,126
Don't listen to her.
1069
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:15,000
What shall you
bring her to wear?
1070
01:08:15,042 --> 01:08:16,917
You'll end up
in the lower depths of hell.
1071
01:08:17,376 --> 01:08:19,251
My girl, you really scare me.
1072
01:08:19,334 --> 01:08:22,209
-I will wear it.
-Help! She's really in character!
1073
01:08:22,251 --> 01:08:24,625
Did you really answer her like that?
1074
01:08:24,709 --> 01:08:26,959
-She's being serious there.
-Yes, totally.
1075
01:08:27,042 --> 01:08:29,334
She's a great actor.
1076
01:08:30,292 --> 01:08:33,709
You scared me.
I have goosebumps.
1077
01:08:34,251 --> 01:08:38,875
That was how it happened, with Rahma.
She convinced me through fear.
1078
01:08:38,917 --> 01:08:42,251
And I wore it for a long time.
1079
01:08:42,292 --> 01:08:45,084
They found the only way
to dominate you.
1080
01:08:45,167 --> 01:08:48,625
With religion, with God.
1081
01:08:48,709 --> 01:08:50,834
They reversed the balance of power.
1082
01:08:50,917 --> 01:08:55,084
And also, it was you who started
with the prohibitions.
1083
01:08:55,126 --> 01:08:58,292
-So, they...
-Let me answer you.
1084
01:08:58,376 --> 01:09:04,126
That's right. I taught them to aim
and they shot me.
1085
01:09:04,209 --> 01:09:09,251
I taught them to be strong,
and they defeated me.
1086
01:09:09,334 --> 01:09:11,251
They were able to influence me.
1087
01:09:12,334 --> 01:09:14,000
This outfit, I don't like it.
1088
01:09:14,084 --> 01:09:16,792
I am only wearing it
to reenact this scene.
1089
01:09:16,834 --> 01:09:19,042
I don't even want to see myself
in the mirror.
1090
01:09:19,875 --> 01:09:22,959
But when my daughter dresses like this,
it makes me proud.
1091
01:09:23,042 --> 01:09:26,126
I don't like how Eya is dressed.
1092
01:09:26,167 --> 01:09:30,000
I would be really happy
if Eya would wear it.
1093
01:09:30,667 --> 01:09:34,084
You don't even want to look
at yourself in the mirror,
1094
01:09:34,126 --> 01:09:37,625
and you would like me to wear it
to make you happy?
1095
01:09:37,667 --> 01:09:39,959
I'm scared for you all.
1096
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:44,750
If they had wanted to go out
less covered up
1097
01:09:44,792 --> 01:09:48,084
or if they had stayed
in the goth craze,
1098
01:09:48,126 --> 01:09:52,625
as well as going out with guys,
would you have let them?
1099
01:09:52,709 --> 01:09:53,625
Never!
1100
01:09:53,750 --> 01:09:56,875
So for them,
the only way to be free,
1101
01:09:57,292 --> 01:10:00,334
was to go down this path.
1102
01:10:16,959 --> 01:10:18,251
I love you.
1103
01:10:18,334 --> 01:10:20,875
You love me? Right?
You will get what you deserve.
1104
01:10:20,959 --> 01:10:23,834
We are friends.
I am your beloved sister.
1105
01:10:23,875 --> 01:10:25,292
Love doesn't come into this.
1106
01:10:25,334 --> 01:10:27,292
You've already hit me twice.
1107
01:10:28,251 --> 01:10:30,000
Two times.
1108
01:10:30,084 --> 01:10:31,292
Show me your back.
1109
01:10:35,792 --> 01:10:37,042
Show me your back!
1110
01:10:37,959 --> 01:10:39,709
-Damn it!
-Are you playing with God?
1111
01:10:39,792 --> 01:10:42,542
What God?
God forgives, not you.
1112
01:10:42,625 --> 01:10:43,792
Shut up, Tayssir.
1113
01:10:43,875 --> 01:10:45,084
God is merciful, dammit.
1114
01:10:45,709 --> 01:10:48,042
-4, 5, 6...
-Rahma, shit!
1115
01:10:48,084 --> 01:10:51,376
When we forgot or we were late to pray,
1116
01:10:51,917 --> 01:10:54,959
Rahma would whip us.
1117
01:10:55,042 --> 01:10:56,875
According to how major the sin was.
1118
01:10:56,917 --> 01:11:01,625
I've forgotten the rules
but it could go up to 50 lashes.
1119
01:11:01,917 --> 01:11:04,542
She meant business.
The blows were hard.
1120
01:11:04,625 --> 01:11:08,583
And when Rahma committed a sin,
1121
01:11:08,667 --> 01:11:11,750
she would self-flagellate like this.
1122
01:11:12,583 --> 01:11:17,667
She'd throw stones at her till she dies.
1123
01:11:17,917 --> 01:11:21,084
I remember,
one of Mom's friends got pregnant,
1124
01:11:21,750 --> 01:11:24,709
but outside of marriage.
1125
01:11:24,750 --> 01:11:28,750
Rahma decided to wait for her
to give birth and then apply sharia law.
1126
01:11:28,792 --> 01:11:31,834
The punishment? Stoning.
1127
01:11:32,251 --> 01:11:34,583
How did you plan on doing that?
1128
01:11:34,667 --> 01:11:36,875
The woman
would have fought back, right?
1129
01:11:36,917 --> 01:11:40,084
We didn't do it.
It was Rahma's imaginary plan.
1130
01:11:40,126 --> 01:11:44,875
In a public place. She wanted
to tie her to a pole or a tree.
1131
01:11:44,917 --> 01:11:48,834
-So she was imagining the whole scene.
-Of course.
1132
01:11:48,917 --> 01:11:52,959
She would tell her to her face:
"Once you give birth, you'll be stoned."
1133
01:11:53,042 --> 01:11:56,667
She couldn't really do it.
She made it all up.
1134
01:11:56,750 --> 01:12:01,667
There are laws in this country.
She would have been put in prison.
1135
01:12:01,792 --> 01:12:06,959
It was above all to let us know
how bad it was.
1136
01:12:07,042 --> 01:12:09,959
If we had lived in a State
governed by sharia law,
1137
01:12:10,042 --> 01:12:11,709
the woman would have been stoned.
1138
01:12:12,126 --> 01:12:15,251
If there weren't these laws,
it would be crazy.
1139
01:12:15,292 --> 01:12:16,792
It would be the end.
1140
01:12:16,875 --> 01:12:19,625
Rahma would order you about with slaps.
1141
01:12:19,709 --> 01:12:21,792
We wouldn't be shooting a film!
1142
01:12:23,042 --> 01:12:24,209
Thanks to God!
1143
01:12:31,583 --> 01:12:34,792
-Eya is like my younger version.
-They look like each other.
1144
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,667
She looks like you in the photo.
1145
01:12:38,750 --> 01:12:42,959
Yes, Eya reminds me of my youth.
She's my exact copy.
1146
01:12:45,959 --> 01:12:48,084
-Here.
-My mouth!
1147
01:12:49,251 --> 01:12:50,792
You got some on her.
1148
01:12:55,251 --> 01:12:56,875
-I saw you Mom.
-What?
1149
01:12:57,251 --> 01:12:58,750
You slipped the headscarf off.
1150
01:13:01,167 --> 01:13:04,792
-Did you see it? Her scarf was there...
-Shush, you!
1151
01:13:04,834 --> 01:13:09,792
-She's faking it.
-I swear, it slipped down by itself.
1152
01:13:09,834 --> 01:13:11,167
It's fine, leave it.
1153
01:13:11,209 --> 01:13:13,583
A photo without the headscarf, please.
1154
01:13:13,667 --> 01:13:14,667
Leave it this way.
1155
01:13:14,834 --> 01:13:17,251
-Put it over your shoulders.
-Okay.
1156
01:13:17,834 --> 01:13:19,542
That's what you wanted!
1157
01:13:19,625 --> 01:13:20,959
I look good like this!
1158
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:22,167
Listen to me.
1159
01:13:22,251 --> 01:13:25,709
You're wearing a mic.
The sound girls will go crazy.
1160
01:13:26,167 --> 01:13:28,000
You can't touch it.
1161
01:13:28,042 --> 01:13:29,875
Leave the headscarf like that.
1162
01:13:30,542 --> 01:13:33,084
Like a Chanel scarf.
1163
01:13:36,251 --> 01:13:38,251
Let's say I'm your real mother.
1164
01:13:39,709 --> 01:13:41,667
Would you accept me as your mother?
1165
01:13:42,959 --> 01:13:46,500
-As Ghofrane, you mean?
-No, your real mother, yours.
1166
01:13:46,542 --> 01:13:49,667
She would be obliged to.
1167
01:13:49,709 --> 01:13:53,959
Would you be satisfied with me
as your mother, with the way that I am?
1168
01:13:55,667 --> 01:13:57,500
Did you choose your mother?
1169
01:13:57,709 --> 01:14:01,709
Have any of us chosen their mother?
If you had the choice...
1170
01:14:01,792 --> 01:14:06,709
We don't choose, but would you choose
the same mother and father?
1171
01:14:06,792 --> 01:14:08,084
No.
1172
01:14:08,126 --> 01:14:09,500
There you go.
1173
01:14:29,625 --> 01:14:30,500
With Rahma,
1174
01:14:31,500 --> 01:14:34,459
we would often watch videos together.
1175
01:14:34,542 --> 01:14:38,084
One day, she came across a video
on YouTube.
1176
01:14:38,126 --> 01:14:44,542
It was a man who wanted
to spend a whole night buried alive.
1177
01:14:44,583 --> 01:14:47,000
He was buried with an oxygen tank.
1178
01:14:47,126 --> 01:14:50,084
He wanted to spend the whole night
inside the grave.
1179
01:14:50,126 --> 01:14:53,084
When he came out the next day,
he was in tears.
1180
01:14:53,126 --> 01:14:54,750
He was afraid of God.
1181
01:14:54,792 --> 01:14:56,959
He was crying,
and Rahma was crying harder.
1182
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:01,042
And I was like:
"Hang on, I am supposed to cry at that?"
1183
01:15:01,667 --> 01:15:05,542
She wanted to try it.
To go inside a grave.
1184
01:15:05,625 --> 01:15:08,376
She loved the idea, she researched it.
1185
01:15:08,459 --> 01:15:13,376
She became obsessed with it.
She wanted to try even if it meant dying.
1186
01:15:13,459 --> 01:15:16,042
Some people dream
of going to the Maldives.
1187
01:15:16,126 --> 01:15:20,709
My sister, she dreamed
of spending a night in a grave.
1188
01:15:39,459 --> 01:15:42,292
Boom, boom, boom.
The truth will be revealed.
1189
01:15:42,334 --> 01:15:45,334
She is in the madhouse,
and God forgives everything.
1190
01:15:45,709 --> 01:15:47,500
I am the martyr.
1191
01:15:48,042 --> 01:15:51,418
I am the gravedigger. So lucky.
1192
01:15:51,667 --> 01:15:53,625
I am the Angel of Torture.
1193
01:15:54,418 --> 01:15:55,542
I am the Angel of Torment.
1194
01:16:07,667 --> 01:16:08,167
Boo!
1195
01:16:16,583 --> 01:16:18,000
Hmm,
let's bury her.
1196
01:16:19,834 --> 01:16:21,583
I'll catch up with you.
1197
01:16:50,500 --> 01:16:54,251
-Did you have fun playing that game?
-We had a ball.
1198
01:16:54,292 --> 01:16:56,500
It was like going to Disneyland.
1199
01:16:56,875 --> 01:16:58,709
What did you like about it?
1200
01:16:58,750 --> 01:17:02,792
Everything! It's fun.
Look, she's dead and we bury her!
1201
01:17:03,376 --> 01:17:07,834
Rahma invented this game to tell us
that life is worthless.
1202
01:17:07,917 --> 01:17:12,376
When we die,
all we take with us is a shroud.
1203
01:17:13,418 --> 01:17:15,542
Only our actions count.
1204
01:17:15,917 --> 01:17:19,376
Some cotton in both her nostrils.
1205
01:17:21,376 --> 01:17:22,750
And in her ears.
1206
01:17:23,792 --> 01:17:27,459
-And the holes down below, right?
-Yes.
1207
01:17:27,542 --> 01:17:30,418
We block up all the holes.
1208
01:17:32,542 --> 01:17:34,542
-Hang on...
-Hi.
1209
01:17:34,625 --> 01:17:36,292
You don't know how to play dead?
1210
01:17:36,959 --> 01:17:38,959
It's the first time that I've died.
1211
01:17:39,792 --> 01:17:41,251
[speaking Arabic]
1212
01:17:42,292 --> 01:17:44,418
May God grant you His infinite mercy.
1213
01:17:44,459 --> 01:17:46,875
Forgive me if I have wronged you.
1214
01:17:47,418 --> 01:17:48,459
Rest in peace.
1215
01:17:52,459 --> 01:17:54,418
You can kiss your sister.
1216
01:18:07,709 --> 01:18:08,917
Allahu Akbar!
1217
01:18:21,834 --> 01:18:24,251
A lot of girls wear the hijab
1218
01:18:24,334 --> 01:18:26,542
because they fear being tortured
in the grave.
1219
01:18:26,625 --> 01:18:30,334
It's the most terrifying
and horrendous thing,
1220
01:18:30,376 --> 01:18:32,583
so it's the most persuasive argument.
1221
01:18:33,542 --> 01:18:35,251
For example, an adulterous woman,
1222
01:18:35,334 --> 01:18:36,875
her vagina catches fire
in the grave.
1223
01:18:38,209 --> 01:18:38,875
It burns!
1224
01:18:39,500 --> 01:18:42,667
She is cooked, she burns,
everything you can think of.
1225
01:18:43,459 --> 01:18:46,126
Make her wear a dress of fire!
1226
01:18:46,167 --> 01:18:48,542
Make her wear shoes of fire!
1227
01:18:50,418 --> 01:18:52,750
God, have mercy on me!
1228
01:18:52,834 --> 01:18:55,500
I would have liked to be a stone,
not a human.
1229
01:18:55,583 --> 01:19:00,292
God, have mercy. I didn't know
the day of judgment would arrive.
1230
01:19:00,376 --> 01:19:01,875
Forgive me, I didn't know.
1231
01:19:02,376 --> 01:19:03,542
Too late for that.
1232
01:19:21,334 --> 01:19:24,625
This incident happened
when Mom was in Libya.
1233
01:19:25,334 --> 01:19:27,376
We were at my aunt's house.
1234
01:19:28,500 --> 01:19:34,459
The neighbor's son recited the Koran.
He had a beautiful voice.
1235
01:19:34,542 --> 01:19:36,625
We went to see them during Ramadan.
1236
01:19:37,334 --> 01:19:39,792
The son began to recite the Koran.
1237
01:19:39,875 --> 01:19:42,834
I saw Ghofrane at the bedroom door.
1238
01:19:42,917 --> 01:19:45,418
She was tiptoeing,
1239
01:19:45,500 --> 01:19:48,583
as if she was being strangled
and dragged along by force.
1240
01:19:48,667 --> 01:19:51,583
She came near to me and she fainted.
1241
01:19:52,251 --> 01:19:54,418
Lord, protect us from evil.
1242
01:19:54,500 --> 01:19:56,334
Get off me!
1243
01:19:56,418 --> 01:19:58,376
I seek refuge in the perfect
words of Allah from the Evil.
1244
01:19:58,418 --> 01:20:02,583
Rahma went to the mosque
to find out information on exorcisms.
1245
01:20:02,667 --> 01:20:07,792
And to avoid her veil coming off
in front of a male exorcist,
1246
01:20:07,875 --> 01:20:09,459
we found a female exorcist.
1247
01:20:09,542 --> 01:20:10,625
In the Name of Allah
with Whose name
1248
01:20:10,709 --> 01:20:11,917
nothing on earth or
in heaven can harm.
1249
01:20:14,834 --> 01:20:18,084
Come out of this body!
May you be cursed by God!
1250
01:20:24,376 --> 01:20:27,376
Who are you? Come out!
Come out, enemy of God!
1251
01:20:27,459 --> 01:20:31,376
No one can be harmed in His presence,
the name of the Lord protects you.
1252
01:20:31,459 --> 01:20:37,126
There is no power and no strength
save in Allah.
1253
01:20:37,292 --> 01:20:38,792
Is this all for real, Ghofrane?
1254
01:20:39,459 --> 01:20:42,792
Men aren't enough for you,
you need Djinns too?
1255
01:20:43,334 --> 01:20:44,292
Huh?
1256
01:20:44,334 --> 01:20:45,292
Tell me!
1257
01:20:45,334 --> 01:20:47,542
Don't be rough, he can get violent.
1258
01:20:47,625 --> 01:20:49,126
Shut up, you.
1259
01:20:49,209 --> 01:20:51,251
As soon as you go to Libya,
it's a disaster.
1260
01:20:51,459 --> 01:20:55,459
I am working like a horse there,
and you, you bring me a Djinn.
1261
01:20:55,500 --> 01:20:58,251
-It haunted her.
-She was haunted.
1262
01:20:58,292 --> 01:21:01,084
[speaking Arabic]
1263
01:21:07,292 --> 01:21:09,209
I will go back to Libya.
1264
01:21:09,292 --> 01:21:11,334
I will return there.
1265
01:21:14,542 --> 01:21:19,667
And I will take the girls with me.
We will all work there.
1266
01:21:20,292 --> 01:21:23,251
We will earn some money
and then we will come back.
1267
01:21:57,334 --> 01:22:01,709
There is no shame
in being a cleaning lady.
1268
01:22:01,750 --> 01:22:04,583
You have to make an honest living.
1269
01:22:05,209 --> 01:22:08,126
Yes, I turned my girls
into cleaning ladies.
1270
01:22:08,209 --> 01:22:12,209
Without any qualifications,
it's the only thing they could do.
1271
01:22:12,292 --> 01:22:15,542
That was the only work available
in Libya.
1272
01:22:15,583 --> 01:22:18,959
Besides, I spent my time
running around to help them
1273
01:22:19,042 --> 01:22:21,583
where they were working, with Eya.
1274
01:22:21,667 --> 01:22:26,542
I never left them
to do exhausting jobs on their own.
1275
01:22:28,084 --> 01:22:31,750
I don't think
that I treated them unfairly.
1276
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:48,667
One day, Ghofrane came to see me.
1277
01:22:48,750 --> 01:22:52,251
She said to me: "Don't bother
coming to help me tomorrow,
1278
01:22:52,334 --> 01:22:54,042
I won't have much cleaning to do."
1279
01:22:54,084 --> 01:22:57,459
I replied: "Okay."
She gave me a lot of kisses that day.
1280
01:22:57,542 --> 01:23:00,625
I asked her:
"What are all these kisses for?"
1281
01:23:00,709 --> 01:23:05,209
She was often very affectionate,
but there, it was over the top.
1282
01:23:05,292 --> 01:23:09,126
I told her:
"Stop, you'd think I were about to die."
1283
01:23:09,209 --> 01:23:11,209
She replied: "I love you, Mom."
1284
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:13,334
And she left.
1285
01:23:29,126 --> 01:23:30,959
-Where is your sister?
-I don't know.
1286
01:23:31,042 --> 01:23:33,583
-Where is your sister?
-In my pocket. Can't you see her?
1287
01:23:33,625 --> 01:23:36,542
Are you laughing at me?
You're being a smartass?
1288
01:23:36,625 --> 01:23:39,334
-Where did your sister go?
-She is in Sabratha.
1289
01:23:39,959 --> 01:23:42,167
-To do what?
-She has joined the brothers.
1290
01:23:42,251 --> 01:23:43,500
What brothers?
1291
01:23:44,042 --> 01:23:46,084
Bring her back,
we're going home to Tunisia.
1292
01:23:46,167 --> 01:23:49,084
Bring your sister back.
We're going home to Tunisia.
1293
01:23:49,167 --> 01:23:51,084
She won't come back
and I'm joining her.
1294
01:23:51,167 --> 01:23:53,376
Bring her back, I'm telling you
we're going back home.
1295
01:23:53,459 --> 01:23:55,500
-Stop.
-I won't hit you again.
1296
01:23:55,542 --> 01:23:58,459
I begged her, I pulled my hair out,
1297
01:23:58,500 --> 01:24:00,126
I tried everything, in vain.
1298
01:24:00,167 --> 01:24:03,625
She had a piece of paper with a number
on it to contact her sister,
1299
01:24:03,667 --> 01:24:05,167
but she swallowed it.
1300
01:24:05,625 --> 01:24:08,000
It was the only way to find her.
1301
01:24:09,625 --> 01:24:12,084
If she had given me that number,
1302
01:24:12,167 --> 01:24:14,459
I could have called Ghofrane
to dissuade her.
1303
01:24:14,500 --> 01:24:17,667
I would have easily convinced her.
1304
01:24:18,459 --> 01:24:22,126
She was very strong-willed,
you can't imagine how strong.
1305
01:24:22,167 --> 01:24:24,625
She was the incarnation of evil.
1306
01:24:25,583 --> 01:24:29,000
She didn't shed one tear.
She was happy, in fact.
1307
01:24:29,251 --> 01:24:32,126
She was proud that her sister had left.
1308
01:24:33,126 --> 01:24:34,167
She was...
1309
01:24:35,042 --> 01:24:37,042
She wouldn't yield.
1310
01:24:39,917 --> 01:24:42,459
It's hard to describe.
1311
01:24:44,959 --> 01:24:46,917
She had taken away my little girl.
1312
01:24:52,209 --> 01:24:58,042
Everything became dark,
after Ghofrane left.
1313
01:25:04,084 --> 01:25:08,625
I hated Rahma, that day.
1314
01:25:10,084 --> 01:25:13,084
When she left too,
it didn't bother me at all.
1315
01:25:14,042 --> 01:25:17,251
Ghofrane didn't see
how sad I was after she left,
1316
01:25:17,292 --> 01:25:19,292
but Rahma, she saw my distress.
1317
01:25:34,334 --> 01:25:35,542
That's enough.
1318
01:26:08,042 --> 01:26:11,042
Do me a favor, arrest her.
1319
01:26:11,126 --> 01:26:12,834
She is going to join her sister.
1320
01:26:12,917 --> 01:26:14,792
I have all the information.
1321
01:26:14,875 --> 01:26:18,126
She's planned it all
with a people smuggler.
1322
01:26:18,167 --> 01:26:23,126
He is going to give her money
and take her there.
1323
01:26:25,042 --> 01:26:29,126
She wants to take her little sisters,
who are eight and ten, with her.
1324
01:26:33,500 --> 01:26:36,167
-How old are you?
-15 years old.
1325
01:26:37,334 --> 01:26:39,167
Do you think you are a jihadist?
1326
01:26:39,209 --> 01:26:40,167
Do you?
1327
01:26:40,209 --> 01:26:45,000
I've never claimed to be one.
I work for the Tunisian State.
1328
01:26:45,084 --> 01:26:48,334
-Are you proud? What State?
-I am very proud.
1329
01:26:48,376 --> 01:26:52,000
-We are the State.
-What State are you talking about?
1330
01:26:52,084 --> 01:26:55,959
She has pledged allegiance
to their State of Daesh.
1331
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:57,834
Their so-called State.
1332
01:26:57,917 --> 01:26:59,834
The Islamic State, please!
1333
01:26:59,917 --> 01:27:01,209
The Islamic State.
1334
01:27:01,500 --> 01:27:03,792
That is my State.
It is the State for all of us.
1335
01:27:03,834 --> 01:27:06,834
You should study
and think about your future.
1336
01:27:06,875 --> 01:27:10,126
-I am thinking about everyone's future.
-Everyone's future?
1337
01:27:10,459 --> 01:27:12,000
You want us to chop off hands?
1338
01:27:12,084 --> 01:27:15,042
Yes, chop off hands, heads, feet.
1339
01:27:15,167 --> 01:27:18,209
It doesn't matter,
as long as we are applying God's law.
1340
01:27:18,292 --> 01:27:19,167
What ambition!
1341
01:27:19,209 --> 01:27:22,084
You are a lost sheep, wake up.
1342
01:27:22,500 --> 01:27:24,917
If I were you, I would take off
that uniform.
1343
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:26,000
A defiled uniform.
1344
01:27:27,292 --> 01:27:29,042
So I can wear the niqab like you?
1345
01:27:29,126 --> 01:27:30,709
Are you female?
1346
01:27:30,792 --> 01:27:31,875
Female...
1347
01:27:32,292 --> 01:27:33,292
You will see.
1348
01:27:34,418 --> 01:27:36,875
-I will crush you.
-Lower your hand.
1349
01:27:36,959 --> 01:27:37,959
Lower my hand?
1350
01:27:38,042 --> 01:27:39,917
You don't have the right to touch me.
1351
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,834
-Get your hand off.
-Shut your mouth when I'm talking.
1352
01:27:42,875 --> 01:27:45,376
Shut up and look at the floor.
Understood?
1353
01:27:45,418 --> 01:27:48,376
-Get your hand off!
-Look at the ground! Shut it!
1354
01:27:48,459 --> 01:27:49,709
Are you happy now?
1355
01:27:49,792 --> 01:27:51,875
I'll throw you into solitary.
1356
01:27:51,917 --> 01:27:54,000
Little shit. Sit down!
1357
01:27:54,042 --> 01:27:55,334
Sit down.
1358
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:00,418
I will show you how much of a man I am.
1359
01:28:01,418 --> 01:28:05,167
-Get out, while I speak to your mom.
-Get out!
1360
01:28:05,251 --> 01:28:06,084
Get out, I said!
1361
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:17,792
You want the truth?
There's nothing I can do.
1362
01:28:18,500 --> 01:28:20,959
-What do you mean?
-I can't do anything.
1363
01:28:22,334 --> 01:28:23,834
This is a joke!
1364
01:28:24,750 --> 01:28:26,418
-What did you expect?
-Apply the law.
1365
01:28:26,459 --> 01:28:30,334
I am actually applying the law.
I have to follow procedure.
1366
01:28:30,418 --> 01:28:34,418
I call the prosecutor
and he decides if we detain her.
1367
01:28:35,084 --> 01:28:38,709
If she comes back to blow up
this police station, what do we do?
1368
01:28:38,792 --> 01:28:42,334
Even if she comes back,
there's nothing I can do.
1369
01:28:42,418 --> 01:28:45,209
Have you informed the prosecutor
what she is saying?
1370
01:28:45,292 --> 01:28:47,042
Of course, he knows everything.
1371
01:28:47,126 --> 01:28:51,667
They are everywhere, with their flags.
They preach through loudspeakers.
1372
01:28:51,750 --> 01:28:53,000
The prosecutor sees them.
1373
01:28:53,084 --> 01:28:56,126
Let them burn down the country then.
Nothing can be done.
1374
01:29:05,167 --> 01:29:08,209
On September 10, 2015
the Ministry of Home Affairs published
1375
01:29:08,292 --> 01:29:12,834
the photos of wanted terrorists,
1376
01:29:12,917 --> 01:29:15,459
two of whom are sisters,
Rahma and Ghofrane Chikhaoui.
1377
01:29:18,167 --> 01:29:19,834
Rahma left Tunisia
1378
01:29:19,917 --> 01:29:22,042
with a false passport,
1379
01:29:22,126 --> 01:29:23,750
headed to Libya.
1380
01:29:23,834 --> 01:29:25,292
When she arrived there,
1381
01:29:25,334 --> 01:29:27,709
she married the emir of Daesh
in Sabratha.
1382
01:29:29,209 --> 01:29:30,875
Noureddine Chouchane,
1383
01:29:30,959 --> 01:29:36,376
the man behind the terrorist attacks
which have recently rocked Tunisia.
1384
01:29:45,167 --> 01:29:48,834
They are the ones responsible,
they laid the foundations.
1385
01:29:48,917 --> 01:29:52,875
We've had nothing but problems
since this damned revolution!
1386
01:29:52,959 --> 01:29:56,292
The former minister of Home Affairs,
he allowed all this to happen.
1387
01:29:56,334 --> 01:30:00,292
He allowed the imams to preach
and to indoctrinate my daughters,
1388
01:30:00,376 --> 01:30:03,251
because they were doing it
in public spaces!
1389
01:30:03,334 --> 01:30:08,042
This mother fears that her daughters,
Eya and Tayssir,
1390
01:30:08,084 --> 01:30:12,834
will join their sisters
among the ranks of Daesh.
1391
01:30:13,209 --> 01:30:16,042
They told us that a secular education
isn't good.
1392
01:30:16,126 --> 01:30:21,875
She showed me on Facebook
how they trained children.
1393
01:30:22,667 --> 01:30:24,709
And she made us listen
1394
01:30:25,209 --> 01:30:30,292
to songs about the jihad.
1395
01:30:35,126 --> 01:30:38,209
At the time, after my sisters left,
1396
01:30:38,292 --> 01:30:42,792
my mother went on television
and there was a lot of media attention.
1397
01:30:42,917 --> 01:30:46,959
The Child Protection Officer
called my mother
1398
01:30:47,042 --> 01:30:52,834
to tell her that Eya and I
were in danger.
1399
01:30:52,917 --> 01:30:55,792
Our sisters were likely to kidnap us,
1400
01:30:55,875 --> 01:30:58,750
and we had to be protected.
1401
01:30:59,042 --> 01:31:05,167
He placed us in a juvenile center.
1402
01:31:08,792 --> 01:31:13,000
-What's up?
-Fine.
1403
01:31:16,209 --> 01:31:19,209
[mumbling in Arabic]
1404
01:31:21,251 --> 01:31:23,875
We arrived at the center by car.
1405
01:31:23,959 --> 01:31:26,834
It was night time
and we couldn't see a thing.
1406
01:31:26,917 --> 01:31:30,251
We went through a big gate
1407
01:31:30,292 --> 01:31:34,167
and I saw a bearded man
wearing a qamis,
1408
01:31:34,251 --> 01:31:37,583
as well as a veiled woman
wearing a hijab.
1409
01:31:37,625 --> 01:31:41,625
I thought that the driver
had kidnapped us
1410
01:31:41,667 --> 01:31:45,251
to deliver us to Daesh,
with Rahma and Ghofrane.
1411
01:31:45,292 --> 01:31:46,709
I was scared to death.
1412
01:31:46,792 --> 01:31:50,875
I grabbed Tayssir's hand to escape
as soon as he opened the door.
1413
01:31:50,959 --> 01:31:54,709
Because you think
that I would have followed you?
1414
01:31:54,792 --> 01:31:59,667
Back then, the only thing I wanted,
was to join Rahma and Ghofrane.
1415
01:31:59,750 --> 01:32:03,834
I would have been so happy
to be with them.
1416
01:32:03,917 --> 01:32:07,917
That's all I wanted, at that time.
1417
01:32:09,667 --> 01:32:11,418
The first night, it was hard.
1418
01:32:11,500 --> 01:32:13,500
Yes, it was so tough,
1419
01:32:13,583 --> 01:32:16,750
that first night when you go to sleep
far away from home,
1420
01:32:17,334 --> 01:32:21,209
surrounded by strangers,
in an unfamiliar place.
1421
01:32:21,251 --> 01:32:24,625
And you don't even know
why you are there.
1422
01:32:24,834 --> 01:32:28,167
I had a dream that night.
1423
01:32:28,209 --> 01:32:31,500
My mother was very old,
and people were hitting her.
1424
01:32:31,542 --> 01:32:34,667
Eya woke me up
because I was crying and screaming.
1425
01:32:34,709 --> 01:32:38,625
The next day, after lunch,
I was still sobbing.
1426
01:32:38,667 --> 01:32:43,334
They took me to see the psychologist,
and I was still screaming and crying.
1427
01:32:43,376 --> 01:32:49,126
I spent half the day screaming,
non-stop.
1428
01:32:49,209 --> 01:32:53,834
Imagine the state that this nightmare
had put me into.
1429
01:32:53,875 --> 01:32:59,167
It was when I saw my mother
like that in the dream,
1430
01:32:59,209 --> 01:33:02,542
that I began to change a bit.
1431
01:33:03,167 --> 01:33:04,750
Because in my dream,
1432
01:33:04,792 --> 01:33:09,167
she ended up old and abandoned
because of Rahma and Ghofrane.
1433
01:33:09,209 --> 01:33:12,334
Just thinking about it again,
it gives me the chills.
1434
01:33:12,376 --> 01:33:14,334
I see her again being trampled on
by everyone.
1435
01:33:14,376 --> 01:33:17,418
That night was horrific.
1436
01:33:17,459 --> 01:33:21,542
And it was that night
that I began to change,
1437
01:33:21,583 --> 01:33:23,418
after seeing my mother like that.
1438
01:33:25,459 --> 01:33:30,292
When we first arrived at the center,
we had a very pretty teacher.
1439
01:33:30,418 --> 01:33:32,167
God, she was so beautiful!
1440
01:33:32,376 --> 01:33:35,126
As soon as she moved,
1441
01:33:35,167 --> 01:33:39,292
Tayssir would tell her:
"God doesn't like that."
1442
01:33:39,334 --> 01:33:42,167
She kept her cool
and then she exploded:
1443
01:33:42,209 --> 01:33:45,376
"Enough of your God,
let me work!"
1444
01:33:46,334 --> 01:33:50,418
Tayssir spent her time
lecturing her: "God said..."
1445
01:33:50,500 --> 01:33:53,834
I thought that I was God's chosen one.
1446
01:33:55,418 --> 01:33:57,418
God's little protégé.
1447
01:33:58,418 --> 01:34:00,709
God doesn't accept disrespect.
1448
01:34:00,750 --> 01:34:05,625
"God doesn't accept..."
Get her out, she's starting again!
1449
01:34:06,709 --> 01:34:10,126
It's true, actually.
Back then,
1450
01:34:10,542 --> 01:34:14,334
I was using God as a pretext
to defend myself.
1451
01:34:14,376 --> 01:34:18,126
And when I "abandoned God",
as they call it...
1452
01:34:20,209 --> 01:34:22,126
I found another trick.
1453
01:34:22,625 --> 01:34:27,292
It turned into the Law.
We went from God to the Law.
1454
01:34:27,334 --> 01:34:30,459
And Eya supported me in that.
1455
01:34:30,667 --> 01:34:33,750
We pushed ourselves
and we made the place our own.
1456
01:34:35,251 --> 01:34:38,292
It became our center.
1457
01:34:39,625 --> 01:34:41,667
It was good, honestly,
despite its faults.
1458
01:34:41,750 --> 01:34:42,625
For me,
1459
01:34:43,292 --> 01:34:47,000
the center was one
of the best experiences of my life.
1460
01:34:47,084 --> 01:34:48,126
Why?
1461
01:34:48,418 --> 01:34:52,625
Because before I went to the center,
I was going down another path.
1462
01:34:52,667 --> 01:34:55,126
They changed my life.
1463
01:34:55,418 --> 01:34:58,126
Imagine if I hadn't gone
to the center...
1464
01:34:58,167 --> 01:35:02,750
This film would be
about all of us disappearing.
1465
01:35:27,418 --> 01:35:32,667
The two sisters were in Daesh in Libya
and wanted to go to Syria.
1466
01:35:32,709 --> 01:35:37,084
The American attack on Sabratha
put an end to their plan.
1467
01:35:38,042 --> 01:35:40,251
Rahma had texted her mother
1468
01:35:40,459 --> 01:35:43,542
to inform her of the situation
in Sabratha.
1469
01:35:43,625 --> 01:35:46,542
I AM LIKELY TO DIE.
PRAY FOR ME. RAHMA
1470
01:36:22,583 --> 01:36:26,000
Our camera was the first
to find Rahma and Ghofrane
1471
01:36:26,042 --> 01:36:28,000
in Mitiga prison in Tripoli.
1472
01:36:30,625 --> 01:36:34,084
We approached the unit
1473
01:36:34,167 --> 01:36:36,251
who arrested Rahma and Ghofrane
1474
01:36:36,709 --> 01:36:38,667
after the Sabratha attack.
1475
01:36:41,126 --> 01:36:44,251
My daughter is five months old.
She is still in Sabratha.
1476
01:36:44,542 --> 01:36:46,376
They haven't brought her to me.
1477
01:36:47,042 --> 01:36:48,292
Her name is Fatma.
1478
01:36:48,334 --> 01:36:51,209
-How old is she?
-Five months.
1479
01:36:52,167 --> 01:36:55,292
It's been two days now
since I last saw her.
1480
01:36:55,583 --> 01:36:57,251
Please...
1481
01:36:58,376 --> 01:37:01,126
Show me the photos.
1482
01:37:01,209 --> 01:37:03,209
What is she like?
1483
01:37:03,251 --> 01:37:06,209
She's so little.
1484
01:37:08,209 --> 01:37:11,000
[speaking Arabic]
1485
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:18,167
-Would you recognize your daughter?
-Yes!
1486
01:37:19,459 --> 01:37:21,126
My baby!
1487
01:37:24,126 --> 01:37:26,251
Don't cry, my little girl.
1488
01:38:02,167 --> 01:38:04,084
She is afraid for her babies.
1489
01:38:04,126 --> 01:38:07,126
You know, Kaouther, I am like her.
1490
01:38:07,167 --> 01:38:10,000
They say that a cat...
No, don't scratch me.
1491
01:38:10,209 --> 01:38:12,542
Is so afraid for her babies
that she eats them.
1492
01:38:14,126 --> 01:38:18,292
I was so afraid for them
that I was unable to protect them.
1493
01:38:19,418 --> 01:38:22,042
I didn't eat them, but I lost them.
1494
01:38:26,459 --> 01:38:29,042
I've told the whole story in this film,
1495
01:38:29,126 --> 01:38:33,500
to totally put the past behind me.
1496
01:38:34,126 --> 01:38:36,251
Because it is a very painful past.
1497
01:38:37,167 --> 01:38:42,084
A past that has shaped my life
and that of my daughters.
1498
01:38:42,126 --> 01:38:44,167
But I'm even more afraid
of the future.
1499
01:38:44,209 --> 01:38:47,209
-Why?
-It scares me more than the past.
1500
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:49,334
You're not fed up of being scared?
1501
01:38:49,376 --> 01:38:51,583
In all honesty, what scares me,
1502
01:38:52,209 --> 01:38:57,000
is that I repeated
everything that my mother did to me.
1503
01:38:57,042 --> 01:38:58,875
Almost to the letter.
1504
01:38:59,376 --> 01:39:00,875
Why do you think that is?
1505
01:39:00,917 --> 01:39:02,251
It's a curse.
1506
01:39:03,418 --> 01:39:06,251
That's how I explain it
to my daughters.
1507
01:39:06,583 --> 01:39:10,084
Like she said to you,
she put us through
1508
01:39:10,126 --> 01:39:11,542
everything she went through.
1509
01:39:11,583 --> 01:39:17,084
It's not because she's a bad person,
that's just the way things are.
1510
01:39:17,126 --> 01:39:19,167
She made us go through the same thing.
1511
01:39:19,418 --> 01:39:23,084
We always pass on the education
that we receive from our mothers
1512
01:39:23,126 --> 01:39:25,917
to our daughters,
and so on.
1513
01:39:25,959 --> 01:39:28,542
Until a generation comes along
1514
01:39:29,418 --> 01:39:31,583
that breaks the chain.
1515
01:39:32,917 --> 01:39:36,834
You have to understand
that they are that generation.
1516
01:39:37,542 --> 01:39:40,875
The only one who can come out of this,
is Tayssir.
1517
01:39:40,917 --> 01:39:41,875
Eya too, in part.
1518
01:39:41,959 --> 01:39:44,167
But for Ghofrane and Rahma,
it is too late.
1519
01:39:44,251 --> 01:39:47,126
Ghofrane's daughter,
she will hold her to account.
1520
01:39:47,209 --> 01:39:49,209
She will never leave her in peace.
1521
01:39:49,583 --> 01:39:53,126
Her daughter doesn't know outdoors,
she doesn't know sunshine.
1522
01:39:53,167 --> 01:39:56,000
The curse will continue.
1523
01:40:06,376 --> 01:40:10,792
Jdaida Prison, Libya
1524
01:40:46,500 --> 01:40:48,959
There are so many things
I want to say to them.
1525
01:40:53,834 --> 01:40:55,126
Rahma...
1526
01:40:55,834 --> 01:40:58,292
I can't see myself loving anyone
1527
01:40:58,334 --> 01:41:02,084
with a love as strong
as the one that I had for Rahma.
1528
01:41:03,459 --> 01:41:08,334
She wasn't just my sister,
she was my whole world.
1529
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:15,000
Maybe I even loved her more
than I loved my parents.
1530
01:41:15,042 --> 01:41:16,959
I really did love her.
1531
01:41:17,792 --> 01:41:21,834
It's true that I was young
when she left me.
1532
01:41:22,959 --> 01:41:27,834
But despite what I've been through,
1533
01:41:27,875 --> 01:41:30,875
the most beautiful period of my life
1534
01:41:30,917 --> 01:41:35,917
is that which I spent with Rahma.
1535
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:39,792
I would like to tell her:
"I love you so much,
1536
01:41:40,084 --> 01:41:41,959
I will never forget you."
1537
01:41:47,251 --> 01:41:51,459
I can't even say their name out loud,
it's just too painful.
1538
01:41:51,500 --> 01:41:53,750
I cry in silence,
1539
01:41:53,792 --> 01:42:00,750
rather than saying to myself:
"Rahma, Ghofrane, I miss you."
1540
01:42:02,834 --> 01:42:04,376
Sometimes, I'm so mad at them.
1541
01:42:04,418 --> 01:42:08,042
One day, they called from the prison
and Tayssir cried.
1542
01:42:08,084 --> 01:42:10,418
That annoyed me:
"Why are you crying?
1543
01:42:10,459 --> 01:42:13,875
They're the ones who left,
it's their problem.
1544
01:42:13,917 --> 01:42:17,917
Do you want them to come back
and ruin our lives?"
1545
01:42:17,959 --> 01:42:20,251
I regretted those words so much.
1546
01:42:22,126 --> 01:42:24,917
I can't even begin to tell you
how I felt that night.
1547
01:42:26,418 --> 01:42:30,792
You can't imagine
how mad I was at myself.
1548
01:42:30,834 --> 01:42:32,292
It was like I was crazy.
1549
01:42:32,792 --> 01:42:37,959
I spent the night pulling my hair out.
1550
01:42:39,959 --> 01:42:41,667
In the morning,
1551
01:42:41,709 --> 01:42:46,959
I hid myself
to throw away the hair I'd pulled out.
1552
01:42:47,750 --> 01:42:51,792
Handfuls of it,
1553
01:42:51,875 --> 01:42:57,042
that I secretly threw in the trash.
1554
01:42:58,334 --> 01:43:00,625
Because I'd said bad things
about them.
1555
01:43:00,667 --> 01:43:03,875
It was selfish to say
that they should never return.
1556
01:43:07,126 --> 01:43:09,418
I know that Ghofrane has a daughter.
1557
01:43:09,917 --> 01:43:11,834
I don't know what she is like.
1558
01:43:14,209 --> 01:43:16,000
I just want to say to them:
1559
01:43:16,875 --> 01:43:20,875
"This family that has destroyed you,
I won't let it destroy me."
1560
01:43:58,667 --> 01:44:02,709
Fatma has been raised in prison in Libya.
She is now 8 years old.
1561
01:44:04,459 --> 01:44:09,500
In January 2023, Libya sentenced Rahma
and Ghofrane to 16 years in prison.
1562
01:44:11,917 --> 01:44:17,042
Olfa, Eya and Tayssir are still hopeful
that Tunisia will repatriate them.
