Mum says

we mustn't come creeping into her room at night.

She says we mustn't scare her and Dad when they are sleeping.

When I asked her why...

she said because there's a war on.

We might think you're a terrorist and shoot you...

by mistake.

Van?

Van?

Van used to come with me

when I needed to pee at night.

But now that I'm seven, I have to go by myself.

And I can't wake her up or she'll wallop me.

So I try not to think that a terrorist

is waiting in the dark for me.

With a gun.

Or a knife.

Or a spear.

I got a tick on my down-there once.

So you have to watch out for ticks.

But mostly you have to watch out for terrorists.

Any African can be a terrorist.

So you're not supposed to talk to Africans about anything.

Just in case they're terrorists or they're mates with one.

Bobo.

Shut up.

If you wake up Mum and Dad, I'm telling them it wasn't me.

Why do terrorists chop off your lips?

Shut up.

Do you think it hurts?

I'll let you sleep with Fred if you just shut up.

Disgusting.

No wonder you always have worms.

Van's so mean.

On four winds

That I might fly

Rain and sun to touch me

Yeah, when the clouds cry

Oh, yeah

Watch out

Big storm is coming

There's thunder and lightning

You better hold on

Watch out

Big storm a-coming

There's thunder and lightning

You better hold on

Africans and Whites aren't the same.

When a White baby dies, you go to church and say the Our Father.

And you bury the baby and that baby goes to heaven.

Then the grown-ups get drunk and it's over.

And you're not supposed to make a fuss.

But when an African baby dies, they leave presents for their Ancestors

and they ask them to look after the dead baby.

And then that dead baby won't be confused and become a coming-back baby.

That's what Sarah said.

I was scared when I heard that because I had a sister that died.

What if she comes back?

I wish I could go to her grave and just make sure she stays in there.

On our farm, we live with Sarah and Jacob.

Africans don't have last names. They just have first names.

With White grown-ups, we have to call them Aunty This or Uncle That.

But you don't have to do that with Africans, which is much easier.

This is the Voice of Zimbabwe

broadcasting on the Radio Mozambique in Maputo.

Where's my porridge?

Can't you see I'm busy?

Today I went to the graves.

I told you to stay away from there.

No, I didn't go into it, I promise.

I just rode past.

- I didn't. - Mmm.

Let me look into your eyes to see if you are lying or telling the truth.

That tickles.

That tickles.

Do you think Euros can have coming-back babies?

I hope I'm not a coming-back baby.

Euros are different to Africans.

Africans have eyes to see what the Whites cannot see.

No.

I can see everything. I can see your eyes.

I can see your face. I can see your...

hands.

Hey, Jacob, where's my porridge?

...and if this is not forthcoming,

I'm sure they'll be prepared that they continue the war.

You must be careful with this child.

I'm not deaf, you know.

Why are you always

tending to this child so much in plain view?

I am careful.

You're not.

It's dangerous with this election.

Eyes are watching you from up in the hills.

Which one of us is on the side of Mugabe?

And who is on the side of the Whites and their Bishop?

Being seen with this child makes you look like a collaborator.

She's not stupid, you know.

Sarah...

this child thinks that you...

are a stupid village girl.

...a stupid village girl.

Stupid village girl. Stupid village girl.

Jacob, you're strange.

...the atrocities in the guerrilla war.

It happened at a British-run mission near Umtali in Eastern Rhodesia.

Twelve Whites, including missionaries, their wives and children,

were dragged into a nearby field and murdered with a savagery

that was horrifying even by the standards of this brutal war.

The butchery was widely assumed to be the work of guerrillas

belonging to Robert Mugabe's...

[SPEAKING SHONA] Dogs!

[IN ENGLISH, OVER TV] ...which is based across the border in Mozambique.

Everybody talks about

A new world in the morning

New world in the morning

So they say

I myself don't talk about

Morning, Dad.

Morning, Chookies.

A new world in the morning

New world in the morning, that's today

And I can feel a new tomorrow comin' on

And I don't know why I have to make a song

Sleep okay?

Like a log.

Everybody talks about...

Snake! Snake! Madam.

New world in the morning takes so long...

[SPEAKING SHONA] Snake! Madam.

-[IN ENGLISH] What? - Snake!

I met a man who had a dream he'd had since he was 20

I met him when he was 81...

God, sorry about the mess.

Can you have Jacob bring me my tea, please?

Don't they know tomorrow never comes...

Dad! Mum shot a snake.

It's dead. It's all over the kitchen.

Anything left of the kitchen?

I think Mum's an excellent shot.

...and her Tory Government

will leave at the earliest possible moment

so that the Labour Party can repair the damage done by them.

Hello.

Oh, I think I'm allergic to brandy.

Maybe you're allergic to the whole bottle of brandy.

That wasn't me.

It wasn't me either.

I swear I had two packs.

Who's been stealing my fags?

A farm on the eastern border near Umtali

was attacked on Thursday evening.

Four family members and their two dogs were killed.

That's what I worry about.

You don't need to worry.

You don't know that, Nic.

Oh, my God.

Bloody dogs.

I swear, one of these days...

Oh, darling. He didn't just speak that way about you?

Shit, here's a tick.

- Yuck. -Mum...

Can I... Can I...

Did the tick pop?

Bobo, go call Vanessa.

- Did the tick pop? - Bobo.

Van!

Van!

Bobo, good God.

What? But Dad told me to call her.

Van!

Right.

That's me.

Thank you, Chookies.

Bye, Dad.

Bye, Dad.

If you love me, you'll turn around.

Bye, Dad.

Turn around, turn around.

Turn around.

Got you. You bunch of bloody buggers.

You shits.

You fuckers. You...

Fucks.

It died.

I told you not to sleep with them.

Oh, for God's sake, Vanessa, just put it in the boiler or bury it.

I don't want the dogs digging it up.

It's not fair on the chicks if you sleep with them.

Did it die?

-Just go away. Go away! - Let me see, Van!

Van.

Which one?

I'm telling.

I don't care.

[CLICKS TONGUE] Give.

Give.

Give it to me.

What is this?

This is not what a little girl should be doing.

Even a little boy.

There's something wrong with you.

Can you put your hand all the way to touch your other ear?

Mmm.

See?

You know what that means?

That means you are too young to go to boarding school

and you are too young to be smoking. That's what we say.

There's nothing wrong with me. I'm perfect.

Perfect? Huh.

Tell me a story.

Not today, Bobo.

Not today.

When we go to town, we have to drive in the convoy,

so the Army guys can keep us safe from ambushes and landmines.

Until last year, the country we live in was called Rhodesia.

But then some Africans said they found it first and the Euros stole it from them.

But then those Africans turned into terrorists and that's how the war started.

What is going on?

In case there's an ambush,

I always make sure before we go to town,

I'm wearing clean undies and my lucky bean necklace.

Just remember, if you swallow one of those, you're a goner.

Don't ever put it in your mouth.

I keep a lookout for terrorists.

What's taking so long?

Sorry for the holdup, Ma'am.

They found two mines on the road outside of town.

That girl Linda had her leg blown off in a landmine.

I really hope we don't die in an ambush today.

Bye!

Bloody look at that, honestly?

Bastards!

The elections are very serious.

Mum and Dad and everyone says the Bishop is the only chance we've got.

'Cause even though he's an African, he's not like a real African.

They call Mugabe "The Rooster."

Mum says he's a Commie bastard.

If he wins the elections,

everyone says they'll probably have to gap it to Australia or something.

[SPEAKING SHONA] We have entered!

Mugabe will win!

Vote for Jongwe Vote for Jongwe

Vote for Jongwe Vote for Jongwe

If we lose, are we gonna become Commies or just stay normal?

Nothing's changing, Bobo.

Okay?

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor

Tomorrow for old England she sails

Far away from your land of endless sunshine

To my land full of rainy skies and gales

And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow

Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell...

In Rhodesia where the first free and fair elections are taking place,

scores of people continue to line up to cast their vote.

Election officials say that they are extending the hours

that the polls will be open

- to ensure that every citizen... -

...gets the opportunity to have their voice heard.

There have been some allegations of voting intimidation

with Lord Soames accusing ZANU-PF

of intimidating voters in 23 of the 56 districts of the colony...

Prime Minister Ian Smith responded to this saying that every Zimbabwean

has the inalienable right to self-determination.

[OVER TV] The government here,

run by the Black people for the Black people...

Hello, Maggie.

How are you?

Very well.

You know you have to vote for Muzorewa, Maggie.

You must tell all your friends to vote for the Bishop too.

Yes, uh, Bishop Muzorewa.

- I know. -Good.

Thank you, Maggie.

[OVER TV] If the terrorists go on killing innocent people, mainly Black...

Just listen to that.

Did you hear that?

Everywhere is such a bloody cock-up.

It's meant to be a ceasefire.

I just can't wait until we win this bloody election.

Can I have this?

No.

What about when you die?

You never know the way things are. You might die soon.

I just think we should put it in your will...

I just think she should put it in her will.

Okay. Shh, stop.

Be quiet, Peter.

Grandpa doesn't speak anymore.

He just makes strange sounds.

And he has to wear a nappy.

Mum's had four babies in her life but there's just two of us left.

Olivia had blue eyes and her hair was straighter than mine.

That's when Mum was still happy.

I just don't know what this local government is thinking.

I mean the way things are going...

Are we racists?

What? Certainly not.

Some people are but we're not.

- Where would you get that idea? - On the radio?

Well, let's just hope the majority think like Maggie

and they don't bite the hand that feeds them.

Let's watch the cricket, shall we?

Much more pleasant.

Mum, I can't stay very long.

I have a shift at Paulington at noon.

And I have to get the afternoon convoy back.

God, what is that terrible smell?

Nicola, when was the last time this child had a bath?

At least have her nanny wash her hair.

I mean, really!

Why can't we read naughty magazines?

Because we aren't those sort of people.

Then why do we have a picture of one in our bathroom?

It was probably meant to be a joke.

What sort of joke?

What sort of people are we then?

We have breeding...

Which is better than having money.

I'd rather have money.

Anyone can have money.

Yeah, but we don't.

Hmm.

No, put that down.

Oh, for God's sake!

Nicola!

You better get going or you're not going to make your shift on time.

Come on, Bobo.

Come along.

When Mum has to be a policeman, I go with her.

There's an army alphabet on the wall.

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo...

Foxtrot, all the way to Zulu.

I have 26 horses named after it

and I gallop them around inside my head.

Grand Reef, this is Paulington HQ.

Do you read? Over.

Mum?

What happens if the army guys get there and everyone's dead?

Then they're a bit late, aren't they?

Bobo, come inside right now.

When Dad is away,

a Brightlight comes and stays on the farm.

Brightlights are guys that are too messed up to be in the army anymore.

Mum says they're all thick.

Mum hates thick people.

But Dad says it's better to have them than be on our own.

We're women without men now,

which is a bad state of affairs.

Why doesn't he talk?

I think he's asleep.

Bubbles!

You can sleep in the shed back there.

Does this hurt?

What are you playing with there?

Do you like it?

Where do you get that?

Down by the graves.

That doesn't belong to you.

Yes, it does. I found it.

- Finders keepers. - They are not for you to take.

She does these things against our Ancestors...

and you don't say anything.

Look how you let her write her name on your body.

You are going to get Sarah into trouble one day.

Maybe you don't understand how serious this is.

Because you were born in a different country.

I'm still African.

No, you are not.

Mum says everyone has a right to be here.

Your mum doesn't know what she's talking about.

Hey, my dad bought this farm with his own money, okay?

I could fire you if I want.

Stop it, Bobo.

Jacob's a bloody idiot.

Yes.

Sometimes when I'm in bed,

I hear the Brightlight walking outside my room.

And then I think of that eye looking at me through my window.

Sarah says that Brightlights lost their soul in the war.

And that's why they act penga and do tattoos.

...here is the shipping forecast

issued by the Met Office today.

There are warnings of gales in Viking, Forties,

Cromarty, Forth, Tyne,

Dogger, Fisher, The Irish Sea,

Rockall, Malin, Hebrides, Bailey, Fair Isle and Faeroes.

The general synopsis at midday.

Depression north of area Fair Isle 990 will move steadily northeast.

Associated cold front to the northwest of area Shannon.

Expected south German Bight...

Madam.

Some other oxen came into paddock last night and are now jumping our cows.

Oh, fuck.

- Where did they get in? -I don't know.

Well, that's the first thing that you and Samuel should've done is check the fences.

[OVER RADIO] ...south-west to west, seven to severe gale nine.

Locally storm ten in Viking and Burren...

I'd give you everything in creation

If she doesn't come back

I'll be your substitute

Whenever you want me

Oh, oh

Don't you know I'll be your substitute

Whenever you need me...

In Van's history book,

there are pictures of Mashona warriors wearing skins and feathers.

These days, terrorists just dress up as normal Africans.

But then, they come crawling on their bellies, secret in the night.

They come to take their land back.

What are you going to do, Mum?

If I find somebody who's cut my fences, I'll shoot them.

Oh.

Mum says she'll die for this land.

She says if she doesn't have a gun,

she'll fight for the farm with her bare hands.

I believe her.

Shit. Can I see?

Mum, can I look?

Damn it.

Some of them are quite fat.

Yeah, on my grazing.

Mum?

Am I African?

No, Bobo.

Are you?

No.

Is it because we don't have brown skin? Black skin?

It's complicated.

Is it because we weren't born here?

No.

Sarah says her Ancestors are magic.

I can do magic, too.

I can close my eyes halfway and make everything disappear.

I think I am African.

I know I'm not English.

And I am not from the sea.

Lucy in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

came from the snow.

I think I came from the sun.

I wonder where they got that.

Probably from some refugee.

I hope they didn't steal one of our cattle.

I'm hungry.

Ask Sarah to make you something.

It's her afternoon off.

Then ask Jacob.

He doesn't like me.

- I'll ask Mum. - Mum only thinks about herself.

And her animals.

And me.

I'm really enjoying th...

Disgusting.

Come, guys.

Sarah isn't from here.

She doesn't have children, which is strange for an African.

What are you doing?

- Nothing. - Yeah, you're doing magic again.

Are your Ancestors magic?

I bet you they can't do this.

I'm closing my eyes almost all the way.

And I can make you disappear like I am now.

But I'm still here.

If your Ancestor magic is so strong,

ask them to send you gold.

Lots and lots of gold.

Then you can be rich and then become the queen of Zimbabwe.

And then you can give me some.

Do you want me to make you a crown?

Yes.

I can get my scarf to make you look like a queen.

- Too tight? Okay. - No.

And maybe one bow maybe.

- I don't know. -Okay.

And also a feather.

Okay, a feather.

That's what you want.

That's what you get.

Yes, let me see, let me see.

You look beautiful.

[SPEAKING SHONA] Can we come in?

We are here to give thanks to the Creator.

Can we come in, Creator?

[IN ENGLISH] When Jacob visits his Ancestors at the graves,

he claps and sings and leaves presents for them.

Can we come in, Creator?

I think he just tells

those dead babies just to stay in there.

[SPEAKING SHONA] We thank you.

Mum says she'd trade all of us for her horse and her dogs.

But I know that's not true.

When did this start? Why did you wait so long?

Now he's got to take pills. Okay, so...

Two in the morning, two at night. Okay?

Two, two.

Do you understand? Say it back to me.

- Two, two. - Yes, perfect. Okay. There, take these.

You mustn't wait when something like this happens.

Olé

O cangaceiro

The bandit of Brazil

Yeehaw

Yee-he-he-he-he...

Sometimes Mum will dance with me again.

She sings, "Olé, I am a Bandit."

That's her favorite song.

The bandit of Brazil...

And then I'm the angry bull.

And she's so happy.

And she glows.

And she's beautiful again.

I'm a hero down in Rio

Where they talk about me still...

Whoo!

She was young

She, she was fair

Whoo-hah

Whoo-hah-hah-hah

Mm.

Hmm.

This farm belonged to my Ancestors.

We are the Whovana Vevhu.

The children of this soil.

They only talk about the attacks on the farms.

Never about the men who have been killed

or who are locked up like animals.

You're the boy and you're the horse.

Fetch my horse.

What does it really change?

Ugh, you guys are a bunch of dozy Arabs.

Mugabe says land for everyone.

But Lucky...

what will it really change?

Look at that one.

Already acting like the parents.

Treating your children like servants.

Now fetch me my tablets. I think I have a headache.

Go.

Go, go, go, go.

Why did you chase my boys away?

They are not your boys.

They are children just like you.

Are you grown up? Hmm?

Are you grown up like this?

Look how small you are.

You are too young to be bossing.

Dad!

- Howzit, Chookies. - Hey, Dad.

- You okay? -Yeah.

- Look after your mum? - Yeah.

Did you see his eye?

Dad's home!

I get it. I just think we need a backup plan.

No, we don't.

We're never selling.

Nicola, you need to keep

an open mind.

Oh, darling, I'll never leave here.

And you'll never leave me.

You know I'm right.

When they shut the door,

I'm supposed to go away and get busy.

Mum says they're resting,

but I know what's going on in there.

They're laughing and drinking brandy.

And moving furniture with their clothes off.

Oh, I really hope you haven't been picking your spots, Vanessa.

They look so ugly.

Let me cover that.

There, that's better.

Okay, run along now.

As night fades out, faded by the sun

Hamba

10,000 men stand high on the hill

Hamba

A loud silence and the earth is still

Hamba

10,000 men tremble for the kill

A vulture flies, the wind that cries

Woza, woza hho

Woza, woza hho

Whoo!

Woza, woza hho, woza, woza hho

Woza, woza hho, iphi le ndoda...

Can I have?

Come on, stop hogging.

- Give it. Hey, can I have it. - Hey, come on.

Give it to me, Duncan.

Got to get a cigarette or whatever...

Duncan, it's my turn.

- My turn. - It's not.

You are hilarious... Who's the best

Agnetha or Anni-Frid?

- Anni-Frid. - Wait, is that the blonde one?

No.

It's your mum. Ooh, ooh.

You look like a girl.

Pass it on. Pass it on.

It's my cigarette.

What are they doing?

Shit.

Marry me.

You're drunk.

You're breaking my heart here.

Cheers, Nicky.

Cheers.

I used to be in the drum majorettes.

Can you imagine that?

Ow. Margie.

- Seriously. - I'm sorry, Nicky.

I'll be there with lots of love...

Shit, the results come out tomorrow.

If we lose this election, I say bring on the bloodshed if that's what they want.

I've got enough ammo for a world war.

The future is never over

and once you wrap your mind around that little philosophy,

I am telling you now.

Shit.

I got lots of love

That won't make you cry

Love...

He was an FFB guy, and they shot up all those village women and kids.

I heard they left the bodies right there and they were eaten by their own dogs.

And those poor bastards had to clean the mess up themselves.

I'll be there with lots of love

Yeah, love

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, love

Yeah, yeah, love

Oh, my word!

- Nicky's eldest? - Mm.

Um, I think there's someone in there, Uncle Anton.

Just, uh, look at you, huh?

- Grown up. - Mm.

The last time I saw you, you were...

This big.

Your hair's so nice and long now.

Look how pretty you got.

These cheeks.

These cheeks. You always had these cheeks, hey?

Ah.

Open your mouth.

Just like that.

-Howzit, Anton? - Yeah.

I dreamt last night that all our cattle died.

I want Samuel to round up every stray cow on this farm.

If our cows pick up foot-and-mouth, we're fucked.

This land won't have been worth the fight.

Can you tell me the story about the person...

human that keeps on getting in trouble with God?

Once upon a time, there was Mwari,

and there was also Human, Animal, Plant and Earth.

Everyone got along with everyone else.

All of nature as one family.

No one knew about death then but it sounded very, very bad.

What do you think dying feels like?

I do not think of such things.

I do.

Please finish the story.

One day, Human got tired of being only as powerful as the waterfall or the leopard.

"I am going to be more powerful than everyone else.

"I am going to start a new world for myself."

So...

he started to chop down the trees, even the Ebony trees.

He eat the kudu and the impala.

And he even peed in the water.

Hey. It is not funny.

But he peed in the water that everyone had to drink.

If you want me to tell you holy stories, you cannot laugh at these things.

Sorry, I won't do it again. It's just how you said it.

Please carry on telling me.

No.

But I want to know the end of the story.

Give me your hands.

How many are there?

Plenty and many, Madam.

Yes, plenty and many.

But nobody counted.

Yes, madam.

When Mum bosses, her eyes go dark.

The staff say, "Yes, madam."

But their eyes go far away and I can tell they are not listening.

Such a bloody balls up.

Dad says that Samuel can track anything.

He can put his mind inside the mind of any living thing.

And know where it went.

And know what it thinks.

I want to know how to track animals too.

I'm going to tell Dad to make Samuel teach me.

It's the least he can do.

Samuel?

Samuel?

Samuel?

[OVER RADIO] Mr. Robert Mugabe, the Marxist ZANU-PF leader

looks as if he has walked away with the Rhodesian election.

Predictions in Salisbury tonight are that he will get an overall majority.

That's 51 seats or more, in the 100-seat assembly.

Lord Soames, Mr. Mugabe and General Peter Walls,

Rhodesia's supreme military commander,

appealed for calm as tension rises in the country over the final result.

The Rhodesian security Commander, General Walls,

the man most likely to appeal to disappointed Rhodesian Whites,

also asked for calm tonight.

His message in a moment.

First, what Lord Soames had to say to all Rhodesians.

What matters now is that Zimbabwe...

This is still our farm.

Oh, grow up, Bobo.

Don't talk to me like that.

The farm's special to Mum.

And to me.

Why are you defending her?

- She doesn't even like you. -Vanessa.

- Yes, she does. - No, she doesn't.

Stop that!

Can't wait for school to start so that I can get away from this place.

[OVER RADIO] ...will be no violent action or reaction of any kind.

This is fucking unbelievable.

Yes, I've already heard of people who want to sell their farms.

- Really? - Yeah.

Well, mainly Afrikaners heading back south.

This is still Rhodesia in my eyes.

Yeah.

[OVER TV] ...a united Zimbabwean army after seven years of civil war.

Are you going to stay in Rhodesia?

[OVER TV] I don't think so.

-Where would you go? - I'd go to Britain.

In spite of the weather.

I have three children to support.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

...I am worried...

Do you?

Mmm. Mm-hmm.

I can't watch. No, honestly.

Look at her.

Here we go again.

It was exactly like this last time before the wheels came off.

I wonder

How many times you've been had

And I wonder how many plans have gone bad

I wonder

How many times you had sex

And I wonder do you know who'll be next?

I wonder

I wonder

Whoo!

Wonder, I do

- Whoo! - Oh.

I wonder about the love you can't find

And I wonder about the loneliness that's mine

I wonder how much going have you got?

And I wonder about your friends that are not

I wonder...

I know what you were up to.

What is that supposed to mean?

I saw you creeping around in corners whispering.

Scared.

You can leave if you want to, Tim.

I'm not going anywhere.

We can talk about this when you are able to have a rational conver--

I am perfectly rational.

Then do you honestly believe that we shouldn't consider selling when we can--

I saw Uncle Anton stick his thumb in Van's mouth last night.

Bobo, shut up!

What won't you say to get attention?

Vanessa, that did not happen, did it?

- No. -Jesus!

- But I saw. - No, you didn't.

You didn't see anything.

Van?

Why would you say that?

- You're such a liar. - Shh, shh. Quiet.

Why's the front door open?

Heads down.

Stay down.

Nicola, get in here now!

Let's go. Let's go. Quickly.

HQ, this is Papa 28.

Do you read me? Go! In the kitchen.

HQ, this is Papa 28. Do you read me?

Oh, God, I can't see anything.

Van, get me the torch on the mantle.

Why is the floor so sticky?

...Papa 28. Do you read me?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Sarah!

Sarah!

Vanessa! Get me a dish towel. Hurry up.

- Jesus! -Sarah.

Good God!

What happened?

Oh, my God.

Bobo, I'm leaving.

Please look after your sister.

Good God!

Damn it!

Sarah, can you hear me?

Push on it!

Is there another one? Get me another one. Hurry!

Bobo, where's your sister?

Bobo, hold the torch so I can see.

Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.

Sarah.

Please, breathe. Breathe! Tell them to hurry!

I was supposed to look after her.

Sarah! Sarah! You're doing good.

Please.

Please.

Let her be all right.

I won't smoke. I won't steal.

Please, just let her be okay. Please.

Sarah says that in her village, they plant a stick.

And that stick grows into the tree of forgetfulness.

And the Ancestors stay inside the tree.

And if you have problems, you sit under the tree.

And then you pray and the Ancestors will help you.

Please, Sarah's Ancestors.

Please bring her back.

Stay back. Stay back.

What are you doing here?

Morning.

[IN ENGLISH] What are you doing here? Who said you could be on this land?

- No, don't smile at me. - Morning.

Who said you could come on this farm? This is my farm!

Answer me!

Are you setting traps on my land, you fuckers?

Answer me!

- This is our land. We are staying here. -Oh, no, you don't!

- This is my farm! Get off my land! - No!

- This is my land! - No!

- Go away! - Stop.

You don't live here! Get your shit and get out of here!

Get away from there! Get away!

[IN ENGLISH] Don't you dare!

- Don't you fucking dare push my horse! -Mum! Please!

- You hear me? Be quiet, Bobo! -Mum!

- Don't you touch my horse! - Go!

Go!

Put that down. Put that down!

- Mum, please stop! - Don't you hit my horse!

Stop! You want to take me on?

I'll fuck you up!

Don't you dare!

Don't you dare hurt my horse!

I'll fucking kill you!

Mum! Please stop!

- Get off my farm! Get off my farm! -Please!

This is my land!

Mum! Stop!

I fought for this land.

I fucking buried children on this land.

This is my land.

Get your shit and fuck off out of here!

Mum! Stop!

We will beat you!

[IN ENGLISH] Madam.

What do you want?

Don't you have your comrades at the hospital that can help you?

Madam... No, don't "But, madam" me.

I'm not "madam" anymore.

- I'm comrade now. Yeah! -We're seeking help.

Well, you should have thought about that in the first place.

Now you can go sit on the side of the road with everybody else

and wait for a lift to town.

- You voted for this government. -No, you're my mother.

I am not your bloody mother!

Sarah doesn't believe in the Garden of Eden.

And she doesn't believe that Adam and Eve wore leaves on their private parts.

She believes in Mwari and Earth.

I wish she finished telling me that story.

Bugger off, Bobo.

Bugger off.

Mm-hmm.

- You know they want to kill me? -Who, Mum?

The staff, the whole lot up there.

- Why would they want to do that? - Because I know about them.

Because they're crooks. They're poaching leopards.

I see them all over my land and I'm finding traps everywhere.

They're all in on it with the squatters.

It's not funny.

Yes, it is.

No, it's not.

- I think it is. - It's not.

Stop buggering around!

Listen, you two.

You better watch it.

These people are all in on it and they know what they're doing

so you just better bloody watch yourself.

Hey!

Where's Sarah?

I want to know when Sarah's coming back.

Go away. Go away.

You are the reason those Gandanga came down here.

They saw Sarah always with you and now they want to punish her.

Piss off! Go away!

I think Mum would die if we left the farm.

I don't see how we can stay.

Those squatters are just the beginning.

Yeah. Mum says the staff are poaching the leopards.

Well, maybe you should take what Mum says with a pinch of salt right now.

I'm worried Mum's becoming a maniac again.

It's manic, not maniac.

That's what I said.

Mum just needs her nervous breakdown pills.

Sit.

I'll work with that.

Oh, your ears come out.

Boop.

A lot of people are stuck.

They'll end up working for these blokes.

You're lucky the bank is willing to give you something for the place.

They'll be handing these farms out to their mates.

Yeah, well.

Feels like daylight robbery to me.

If you can just sign here. And here.

Right.

There you have it.

Who's that?

I sold the farm, Tub.

No, you can't do that.

You can't... You can't do that.

I had to.

But this is... This is our...

This is our farm.

This is everything we fought for.

Everything. What are you saying?

No. What are... No. What are you saying?

It's... it's already done, Tub.

No. No. Is this it?

This is it? No, no, no.

Look, look. It's so easy.

You just go run down the road after them.

Don't you do that without me!

- No, no, no, no, no, please! - Listen to me. Nicola. Nicola.

Don't do that to me.

- It's time. It's time to go. - No, please.

No.

You can scream and cry and howl

and drink until you fall down but I will not let you take us all down with you!

Think about someone else for once in your bloody life.

No!

I'm sorry. Is he all right?

I didn't hit him, did I?

No problem, madam.

Hello.

Are you fine?

Yes, thank you.

Come.

Come and eat with us.

No, thank you.

Don't be afraid.

You must have your lunch here with us.

No, thanks.

- Come. - I'm fine.

Have a seat.

Fine.

Thank you.

Mmm.

Mmm.

What happened to him?

He had a fever many years ago.

But he held on.

He's strong.

My son.

I must be getting back now.

Thank you for sharing your food with me.

Thank you.

Sarah, you're back.

Does it hurt?

Did you die?

I'm alive, Bobo.

We're leaving.

Dad's sold the farm.

Are you coming with us?

But... But Sarah.

- Please. -Come out.

Get out and let Sarah rest.

This is not the time for you to be bossing.

Get out.

Get out!

And... when you leave this place...

Sarah is not going with you.

She's going to be with her family.

Yeah.

With people who will take care of her.

Not people who will leave her for wild animals to eat her.

And I'm sitting in front.

But that's not fair.

Fine. Then I'm sitting in front on the way back.

I take it you're not coming with?

But you always get the costume.

Well, I know they wanted to give us a good send-off.

Yeah, so? I'm older.

Fuck.

Dennis is a menace

With his, "Anyone for tennis?"

And beseeching me to come keep the score

And Maud says

"Oh, Lord, I'm so terribly bored I really can't stand it anymore"

I'm going out to dinner

With a gorgeous singer

To a little place I've found down by the quay

Her name is Patricia, she calls herself

Delicia

And the reason isn't very hard to see

You see, Patricia or Delicia

Not only is a singer

She also removes all her clothing

For Patricia is the best stripper in town

And with a swing of her hips

She started to strip

To tremendous applause

She took off her drawers And with a lick of her lips

She undid all her clips

And threw it all in the air

And everybody stared

And as the last piece of clothing Fell to the floor

The police were banging on the door

On a Saturday night in 1924

Take it away, boys

Oh, shame, Tim. You look so sad.

Must be so hard for her. It's not like anyone lives in Zambia.

- She's tough old Nicky. Very tough. - Just bloody stay, man.

Come on, Timmy.

Do you remember this?

Oh!

No! No, no, no! Get off me, you two.

You're like a couple of ticks.

There was a warning in the valley. I heard it.

I heard it.

Fucking imbeciles!

We're leaving, Tim! Let's go now!

Get out!

Mum!

Dad!

Dad, help!

Dad!

Mum!

Dad!

Dad says we can only take one suitcase each.

I'm taking my drawings and my pellet gun.

Van's taking her makeup and her books.

Look what a beautiful queen you are, Bobo.

- Please come with us. - No, Bobo.

There's nothing for me in Zambia.

I'm going back to my village.

You should have asked your Ancestors for gold when I told you.

Then you would be rich and we wouldn't have to leave.

The Ancestors give us what they know we need.

Not always the things we ask for.

Yeah, but you still could have asked.

Mum says she wasn't trying to die.

She was just resting her eyes.

I think she's lying.

She says she wants to leave here now, anyway.

And never see any of those fucking idiots ever again.

Be careful with those, Vanessa.

I hope you washed your hands.

Bobo, this is how the story ends.

Earth begged Mwari to be merciful to Human.

And Mwari relented, a little.

"When Human dies, I will still take back his femo raMwari,

his God breath,

but his bones will be returned to you from whence they were forged.

They will lie in your embrace forever."

And so it is.

We humans in the end.

Our God breath goes back to Mwari and our bones return to Mother Earth.

And all our lives, we are cursed with separation and loneliness...

and longing.

Turn around.

If you love me, you'll turn around.

Please turn around.

Please.

Sarah.

Sarah.

You are the Queen.

Queen of Zimbabwe.
