Original subtitles

Operations?? No.

Allergies?

No.

Do you smoke? No.

Haschisch??

No.

Like everyone else.

Get on the scale.

Joseph, Be honest in your answers.

"Occasionally" What does that mean?

Dayly?? Weekly??

Yes, something like that. My parents know.

Then? 63 kilos.

An Arab walks into a restaurant. What do you look at?

The eyes.

The belt?

Did not your father teach you that?

Did you do well in school? Yes, normal.

Do you listened to your teachers? Well yes.

If you disagreed with a teacher, What did you do?

We do not always agree, but he is a master.

Why be part of an elite unit?

I love aviation. My dream is to jump out with my parachute.

- After the army, what do you want to do? - Sing.

My regards to your father.

So? Did they gave you the date?

On September 2.

Ah! Have a time.

Did you lost your comb? Are not I cute?

Bright. Enjoy the moment.

Jo! Have fun!

Stop, Ilan.

We will not see each other for three years.

I want to store the memory.

It would be like doing it with my brother.

Did you see that two guys drowned?

Yes one was a lifeguard.

What is the point of drowning being alifeguard?

And... when there is no current...

Is there a plan to make money before September?

Sell ice cream.

Sell your songs, or Sell your body!

Joseph??

Give me a moment, sorry.

You'll have to retake the blood samples.

Why?

Because they were wrong. They want to remake it.

It cannot be your blood.

Your dad and I are Rh negative.

You can not be A +.

The Laws of Genetics.

A bit more blood. Tomorrow at 10.

Lisa Chao. See you next week.

What's wrong with her?

I Do not talk about my patients. Mom, I do not know her..

What? Is there a problem?

No, nothing, nothing... all good.

David needs you.

Are you going home? Yes.

Talk to you later, Yes?

I'll bee right back. Give me five.

Hello.

I'm Joseph.

When my morale is low, I hear a very sad song.

I cry for a while. And I feel better.

There is an error. Clearly you are A -.

Joseph is A +. It is impossible!

Alon must be positive. It's the only explanation.

Last year he had kidney stones.

I have his medical history. He is negative.

You have to do a DNA test.

But speak with Alon first.

I'll keep on trying. Naturally.

What I feel, David, is that I cannot really do anything..

You are beautiful!

Everything all right?

Sorry. Today is a difficult day.

Yes, too complicated?

But now I feel better.

Could this be an exception?

Not possible. There are no exceptions in genetics.

Why did't you tell me?

Is Joseph second trial.

To tell you did not solve anything.

Allow me, girl. It's hot.

I made salad.

The salad?

- we are making progress. - What did you see?

Are you going to the movies on Tuesday, just because it's Tuesday?

Customs can be nice.

On Tuesday, Your father and I

we can leave.

And I have a good time.

But you do not know what movie you will see.

You're terrible, Keren.

I hate you, dummy.

- Can we eat quietly without fighting? - Why?

Because I need to rest.

Bon appetit. Enjoy your meal.

Too bad not having Brant Mike as a patient!

Mike Brant?? Who is he?

I was still playing with dolls when he died.

They always talk about people that I don't know. He was a singer who died a long time ago.

Have you ever saved somebody's life?

Yes, sometimes.

A patient with suicidal tendecies.

Did you saved him?

It was not easy.

But we established a good relationship.

Do you know what happened to him?

No.

But each year I can tell if he is still alive.

We had never spoken about that man.

Who?

The suicidal.

I never talk about my patients, Alon.

But it seemed important. If he's still alive.

I check every year to find out. The treatment was successfull.

What it's wrong with that?

Do you think that he was my only patient in 18 years?

I would like to not have to clarify this, but...

But if you're suggesting... Not Alon. I never cheated on you.

No, I...

Let me finish.

But you felt curious about the answer.

I keep looking, like you asked. And I thought,... Do you want to take a sit?

Have you ever wondered why Joseph does not look like his father?

So what? Sometimes he looks like me!

Everybody thinks that.

No, I did not cheat on Alon.

Right. Please sit down.

You gave birth in Haifa?

Yes, when we lived there. Why?

- In Rothschild, January 23, 1991. - Yeah, so?

I have a hunch. On Tuesday I 'll confirm it.

What hunch? ...Wait... I rather.

But what hunch? Calm down Orith.

I'm calm.

But what kind of hunch?

Perhaps Joseph, is not your son.

Orith!

Orith!

Do not run away!

What are you doing? I do not know. I'm taking a long walk.

I'll tag along.

No, I want to be alone.

Were you in pain this week?

Does it hurt here?

I feel some kind of protuberance.

Where were you?

I've been calling all day.

What's the matter?

We got a call form the hospital David Rothschild in Haifa.

Do you remember the night of Joseph's Birth?

Joseph was taken. It was what had to be done.

Keep him safe when the"SKUD" was launched towards the hospital.

I do not...

The baby was in the incubator.

The baby that was brought back the next day, was not my baby.

It was another.

What are you talking about?

We would have realized that it was another baby.

Mothers realize. Is not that so?

Why not? Is trash form your colleague the vegetarian?

Alon! Shut up! You were not there.

It was the Gulf War. I had to be there.

I mean you were not with David today.

In two weeks we are expected in Rothschild.

The first is the DNA test.

I'm not going!

This whole story is stupid.

We will go, Alon.

Mr.? and Mrs. Silberg? Good day.

Sorry for the delay, please...

Mr.? and Mrs. Al-Bezaaz?

Sorry for being late.

I'll make the introductions.

Mr. and Mrs. Silberg. Mr. and Mrs. Al-Bezaaz.

Please...

Mr. and Mrs. Al-Bezaaz, Can I speak Hebrew??

Right.

I speak English.

As you guys know, I left the post in 1991.

But as director of the hospital,

I returned to confirm this...

this serious error.

We researched very thoroughly

because of blood incompatibility.

And indeed, Yacine Al-Bezaaz is okay.

He is Rh negative.

As you.

You gave birth at the same time that Ms. Al-Bezaaz,

in the next room.

We concluded...

that there is a high probability that.. the babies were changed...

by mistake..

Changed during the evacuation.

This was confirmed by DNA testing.

I proposed to submit photos.

Because I thought that things... become.

I do not know... perhaps more obvious.

So...

You surely wonder.

Including...

if you want to change your children identity.

Out of question!

Joseph is a Silberg. Case closed.

In any case, you have the documentation.

I think you work

with the Minister of Interior.

No, Defense.

But you will soon see.

I got the information.

You will be inform as follows, of the options available to you.

The wishes of the two boys, of course, will be taken into account

they are almost adults.

Do you have questions?

Ms. Al-Bezaaz...

Ms. Silberg...

Everyone present..

Sorry.

It's...

It is the source Saint-Michel in Paris.

I was born in France.

Y...

my husband ' parents were French.

I speak a little French.

For Yacine.

Because it is so far... Do you Understand?

Yes, dear.

I hear you, son.

Congratulations, dear.

I'll tell your father.

Yes, my love. I'll call you later.

Said. It was Yacine.

It was received. He did it!

Said...

How do I tell you?

Do not say anything!

If my sister finds out... Our neighbors...

Our friends...

We should forget everything we heard.

We forget?

Do you accusethem of having forgotten

how they drove us out of our land.

And now do you want to forget? It is impossible.

It is not related.

Finally you came my son!

- We miss you. - Me too.

Hello brother.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Why do you grab it? Drag it.

You became as lazy as the Europeans.

Come on.

As can be seen,

our people remain jailed

and our lands

halved.

Woe to those who have stolen from us!

Bilal, shut up.

Tell me, Yacine...

Yacine, look at your mom.

Allez, tell me..

How is the most beautifull city in the World'?

Paris... Paris.

Is that true? I'll tell you.

Yacine has been received?!

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

Dad. Dad.

Good day Yacine.

I Just arrived.

I finished what I was doing.

Are cars before family?

Come on, join us.

Amina! How are you my love?

How's it going?

I missed you.

One for you, one for me.

Ladies and Gentlemen. We will introduce B- B, Bezaaz the Brazilian!

Thank you, brother.

No, honey, no.

- For me? - No, I said "the most beautiful".

Mom.

For me?

But yes, you are beautiful!

Thanks dear.

And who is this for?

I do not know. Lets see.

It's beautiful... Who is it?

It's called... Sophie Marceau.

Dad. Yacine brought me Sophie Marceau.

Sophie? It's nice.

So there it is?

Would you be able to fix my knee with surgery?

I'll start medicine.

After eight years, I will be able to operate on you.

You eill have to consult.

No. Either you or anyone.

How are my brothers Fatima and Omar?

Good.

Lemonade??

Now Dad. There is something for you.

Thank you.

Meanwhile...

While I can fend for myself.

It's a no go.

My son can not join the army.

Why not?

Now everyone will think I was saved by "my dad"

I do not do these things, you know.

- It's complicated, Joseph. - Why?

- Orith. - On January 23, 1991.

Scud Missiles fell on Haifa.

We had to find a safe place.

You and another baby were taken to a safe place 319 00:32:23,800-> 00:32:25,320 and in the middle of the panic.

Babies were exchanged.

I do not understand... 'There's nothing to understand. Shut up!

No way!

The Babies were exchanged.

Yeah, so?

They got it wrong Josheph!

The nurse made a mistake.

You mean that...

Do you mean that the other is me?

And I was the other?

Do you have to give me back?

I met your parents.

Who are they?

They are Palestinians.

From the West Coast.

I was in Haifa. Visiting my sister.

And you came earlier than expected... You arrived.

The same day as Yacine.

Yacine...

Did you see her?

A photo.

Can I meet her parents?

Yacine?... What?

Al-Bezaaz.

Do I Change my kippah for a bomb belt.

Do not say that.

Am I still a Jew?

Hello.

Good to see you again.

Do you have a French boss now?

It is written.

"Great sacrifices are for great men"

God loves men, as a father do his children.

Orith told me your story, Joseph.

I'm sad about that.

Rabbi, Am I still Jewish?

Nothing changes? Am I a Jew?

If you really want... you can.

How so, if I want to?

I'm circumcised, I did the bar-mitzvah, studied at the yeshiva,

Celebrate the holidays... I've always lived like this.

We will have a conversion in three stages.

Circumcision. That's done.

The acceptance of the Torah,

which should be pretty easy in your case.

And a ritual bath controlled by three rabbis.

But Rabbi, you know I was one of your best students.

Judaism is not a conviction, Joseph,

is a state.

A spiritual state connected to its own nature.

Your real mother is not Jewish, So neither are you.

But.

I did not change.

God will help in this conversion.

And for... For the other?

Well, he is Jewish by his mother.

It's his nature.

You mean that he is more Jewish than me?

Yes.

He is.

But he is Arab! Arab!

Mom!

Mom!

Phone for you!

Sorry for calling so late,

but Joseph would like to meet you.

- Can you say that in French? - Yes.

- Did you tell Yacine? - No.

I can not imagine a meeting with my husband.

Tell him that he is not to blame. It was fate.

It's their life. They have a right to know.

Talk to your husband. He has to understand..

See you soon, Leila.

God help you.

May God help us all.

No, I told the officer: Do you realize?

I have to carry my Ventolin constantly.

I am a really stupid!

Well, it's beyond repair.

Can not reverted. You have asthma.

I should have said I had mental disorders.

With a military father like Joseph's, I would have no problems.

Would you stay while your teammates defend the country?

I served for six years.

I feel proud. Good for you.

If I could, I would go too.

On television, when a man kills another, nothing matters.

But when you do it in real life, it haunts you forever.

He did well, your father, Jo.

You're lucky.

Did you find a business finally?

- Yes. - Which one?

Ice cream. I'm selling ice cream.

I'm doing it.

What? Is it my fault?

No...I do not think so.

What much? 5 Euros. ($ 6.70)

About 30 shekels.

The box? The cigar.

Want to get girls with that?

No. Smoking is something old!

What do you want? Who?

What does he want? I know waht it was.

He said he knows it's hard.

- and they would like to see Yacine. - No.

No!

- We talked about that! - You talked.

You decided to say nothing.

But is Yacine life!

He'll know sooner or later! Is not that so?

Will you know what?

Who is the woman who called?

Why does her family want to know me?

Do you want to marry me to someone?

Mom?

If you really want to know...

Orith invites us to his house...

Tel-Aviv.

So, is it you?

Guys, come and see!

Arab, is obvious, right?

All right.

These are the Ministry papers.

Is everything in order?

So we let you go.

Move.

As If I have nothing to do!

Everything is ready, I have nothing to do!

Then do nothing. Well, then...

Welcome.

Are you my new big brother?

You're French?

No, Israeli. Pero mom was born in France and dad's parents too.

So we talked more French that Hebrew at home.

Honey, what are you doing?

Hello. She is the sister of Sophie Marceau.

Come on, I'll show you my room.

- Did you finish high school? - Yes.

With good grades.

What you want to study now?

I start Medicine in September.

Where in Paris do you live?

In Belleville, with my aunt. Do you know it?

And you dear? What do you do?

I'm a musician. Seriously?

Yes, his father loves it?!?

Said... Joseph is a musician.

He gets the best of you.

Look.

Here he was 7.

The wedding of my brother.

Wanted to sing for 300 people.

Incredible.

A carbon copy of Firaz.

He looks like Firaz.

But not Bilal.

Bilal apologized because he can not come.

Firaz is the younger brother.

Died.

Dad, can we go outside to smoke?

How did you find out?

I guess like you.

Let's try another way.

To not overwhelm.

Bilal? Does he Know?

That I'm not your brother?

Why not wine?

He did not want to see us?

Is he embittered? What do you feel about be a Palestinian?

Are you resentful, no? Seriously.

No, never. No? You?

I live in Paris. Far from here.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Girlfriends?? No, friends, nothing serious.

He Works hard, very hard.

I always tell him to work less.

Joseph...

He is an artist. A dreamer.

By luck. Since I couldn't be a soldier...

Why "fortunately"?

Because he is an Arab?

What I mean...

is that it is difficult to wait and pray for three years

that your son is alive.

We also pray. In order for our children to stay alive.

Instead of praying, don't send your children to war.

The war...

Is not a war.

It is the destruction of a people.

That is the truth.

Who destroys His people?

Is not us, is your leaders!

Yes, they are guilty.

They concern us.

Always the same story.

Is about Occupancy suffering under occupation.

After so long. It is always the same.

It is an apartheid.

What do you call "apartheid"?

Ask your leaders that implemented the 'apartheid'!

Is not the Israelis.

This is bullshit.

Bullshit for you. These are our lives.

Shut up.

Then?

Are we partying with the occupier?

I want to go to Grandma.

And what will you do with Grandma? Sleep.

Can not you sleep here?

Are you following me?

Sorry this is not the moment.

Do we sing a sad song?

You'll mourn and you vent.

I did it, it works.

I need you to leave me alone.

I just wanted to cheer you up.

Oh yeah? So, go ahead!

Sorry.

Sorry.

Aren't you going to live on the other side?

Your house is not there?

Answer me.

Since you were born, you're Jewish.

Come on finish at once!

I am what I am and what I want.

You are the son of another.

Sooner or later you're going to leave.

To where should've grown.

I know what scares you.

For me it does not change anything.

Less of all our sleep.

In eight years, I'll be Back in Palestine.

And we will build hospital.

Why did you do that?

For Firaz, that has never been your brother?

Forget about me.

I'm not your brother anymore!

You know...

In India newborns smell like curry.

If you smoke, Your baby may smell like nicotine?

It seems that you are interested in babies.

And your baby... you did not have much time to embrace him...

Do you want to hug him?

How are you? Good.

Would you like some tea?

Thank you.

Everything is expensive.

A tomato costs more than a ruby.

Bilal! Listen, Bilal.

Answer. Can not you see I'm busy?

Yadne!

This is for you.

Joseph??

Want to change your name?

Are you going to take one in Hebrew, friend?

Here Bilal.

Are you alone?

- is Yacine? - I do not know!

I'm not your mother!

Hi, guys.

3 shekels per package, cheap.

Again.

With all that smoke...

You don't drink? I have no Transas.

Do as Salim, hit the site in Ashdod.

Work for the Jews?

When they become Palestinean.

You'll wait long.

Bilal, tell him to cut it.

Why do you get angry? We must work for a living.

I'm getting my pants down for the Jews.

Fuck it, I'm not. Well, here take it.

Okay, Jamil. Leave now.

Go on, fuck you! Fuck you!

Ice Cream!

To sell you have to smile.

And so do people. Can I try??, If you do not mind.

Why? Of course not. I want to sell more.

How do you say ice cream?

You just look.

One? Two? Just One.

Thank you.

Good day!

Thanks, no. Are you sure?

It's good.

It's good. This too.

Thank you. You're the best...

Well, what do you think? Sold more than

me on a full day.

I roasted in the sun.

Rest a bit from skin cancer.

Take your part. No!

You worked too!

Take! Then you're going to say I exploded you.

Thank you.

I have cousins in Ramallah.

They may never see the sea, because they have no ID card.

That sounds terrible.

I said at school. That I have a new brother.

Oh yeah?

What exactly did you say?

Did you say his name?

I said it's good-looking with long eyelashes.

And that he has been to our house.

But they say Joseph was not there.

And so it is. Joseph was never there.

There it is.

My mother would love for you to come and visit us.

So...

Yes?

Did I wake you? No, I was not asleep.

So?

What?

You saw him.

I told him that you wanted to see him.

Is that why you stayed up?

No.

If Leila had not given birth in Haifa,

now he will live there.

And for you...

and Dad... I would be a stranger.

Your father and I have loved you every second.

I have a commitment to Yacine.

I can not help but consider him my third child

but I'll keep looking after you.

Come in...

Colonel.

An Arab wanted to see you.

Yes?

We did not let it in.

He had a pass civil administration...

but did not want to use.

He wanted to thank you.

Where is it?

I do not know. He probably left.

Good day.

Here, Mom.

What is this money?

I sold ice cream on the beach.

But do not tell Bilal.

Remember when you were a little boy?

When I made a cake, you saved half for Yacine.

You waited for him to returned for the party.

And when he returned, it was dry and ugly.

You said "Half for him and half for me."

Do you remember?

He's theirs.

Bilal... Yacine is still your brother.

My brother is Firaz. And he's dead.

Open your heart, my son.

I know it's big.

How did you pass the checkpoint?

I have a pass for a month. Did not your dad told you?

I have an Israeli passport pending and it gives me the right.

Maybe soon it will be very necessary.

For the ice cream business.

- Do you have pistacchio? - Yes.

How much? 14 shekels.

10 shekels because you're beautiful.

Thank you.

Sometimes I pluck... it can happen.

- Fuck! - What?

My friends.

Make up something. Do not do bullshit.

Hey, Joseph! Don't you want to say hello?

My cousin from Paris... Daniel.

Do you have to talk French or English?

I told them that you are my cousin from Paris.

They ask what language to speak.

Paris became cheesy. What clothes!

He does not care about fashion, He is in med school.

Are you coming tonight to L'Abatros. It's Gad's birthday.

Do you speak French?

We will have to go to L'Abatros tonight.

Nice to meet you.

Does he have someone in Paris? Yes?

Yona is going for the neck.

Stop, Ilan! Well... Hello.

- His cousin, the balls! - If not that, what then?

I don't know. His boyfriend, maybe.

What? You're sick!

Then, Why do they lie?

This is my father's salary.

Did I tell you that he is an engineer? I thought he took care of a garage.

No my father is an engineer.

He works in a garage because he can not leave town.

I would be a fool like you. They only think of parties and clothes.

Thanks to this asshole you got to Yona.

Her name is Yona?

- You're not in love with her. - No?

I was interested in another girl, but I messed up.

Yona is available.

Look.

Isaac and Ishmael.

...The two sons of Abraham.

Good day, Yacine.

We are on a hurry, Mom. Are you coming?

Where are you going? At a friend's, you do not know him.

I'm my own worst enemy I don't even love myself...

- You never talk after? - Yes?

.. I Even smoke a joint with my greatest enemy.

Give me a minute.

Being Jewish was important to me. It meant something.

Now it is as if they don't exist.

I do not feel Jewish anymore, but I am not Palestinian.

What I can be Fulani, or Tutsi? (Nomadic)

What would you like to be if you could choose?

James Bond.

Dad would have love that I was like you.

Your father is nobody to decide.

Only you.

What are you doing, Joseph? Mom! Leave me alone!

I don't care for the rabbi! We came for grandmother.

I do not need a synagogue to mourn a grandmother that is not my grandmother.

Joseph! Do not start! Do not make a fuss!

Is that your only answer? He's right.

You're right, Dad. No Scandals.

Good Morning.

Why do you want to go?

Where is it?

Thank you.

Al-Bezaaz?

Al-Bezaaz?

Al-Bezaaz?

Leila and Said Al-Bezaaz?

I do not understand.

Come in.

- Do you know him? - Yes, we do.

- Is he family? - Yes.

A cousin from Paris.

Ah, Paris! How nice!

Listen to me.

You are here and your are Muslim by blood.

I do not understand.

"My name is Youssef".

Say:

"My name is Youssef".

"My name is Youssef."

Now say:

I am a Palestinian Arab.

I realized that, you know.

How do you say? "I am an Arab..."

from Palestine.

What do you want?

Said! He has come to see us.

It is normal. Be nice.

Everybody will know!

We said that he was a nephew your sister's son.

- And Yacine? - Where is he? In Ginds.

- And where is that? - In Tel-Aviv.

Bilal, come and eat!

What's all this?

Sit down and shut up. Your plate.

She did it for you.

Eat.

Do you want some?

Thank you.

Yummy!

Thank you!

Joseph, your parents, Do they know that you're here?

Hello, Orith. I'm Leyla.

Joseph is with us.

I mean that he found our house on his own.

This is our room, mine and Yacine's.

Is that Firaz?

Yacine told you about Firaz?

Are you going to recover your true identity?

It is not just a birth they are also the family that raised me.

Come.

- I would like to go to the other side. - To Tel-Aviv?

Yes.

Would you invite me? Yes, my father can get you a visa.

We are brothers, right?

Maybe.

Stop, this is my father.

Come back... again.

You are my son.

And you'll always be my son.

No matter what happens.

I love you, Dad.

This is Bilal. He is my... older brother.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Goodbye, Bilal.

I will not forget my promise.

You know, Dad, he sings.

Oh really?

He is good.

Again a permit from the Civil Administration.

Positive response.

Bilal Al-Bezaaz.

Were they his students, Colonel?

I do not remember.

You have family on the other side. Don't you? 81501:32:24,520 - > 01:32:26,560 I told you to sit down, Sergeant.

No, Colonel.

Damn it.

Shall we go?

Hey, guys. I'm going to work.

How's it going?

He sells ice cream like me.

You know...

It always comes back to the same question.

Who is who? Where?

Cigarette??

Of course! Of course!

Joseph! Joseph!

Go get help!

Thank you.

- Do we agree? - Better.

What are you talking about? Are you crazy?

You are alive. Thank God.

Hamdoulilah.

What is better?

Here come your parents.

My parents... Which ones?

You know what I thought when I found out that my life should have been yours?

I thought...:

Now that I have started this life,

I have to do something with it to be proud of myself.

And it is because of you that I have my life, Joseph, is the same.

Do not waste it.
