Get up, Mohamed.
What?
Someone is knocking on the apartment door.
Go see who it is.
What?
Who what?
Who is coming now?
Is the knocking on the bedroom door
or on the apartment door?
Your father is still here.
Your father is still here.
Get up, you must be imagining things.
Get up before any of the kids wake up.
Congratulations, Mr. Mohamed.
God bless you, Hamed.
But I mean,
there was no need for you to trouble yourselves
and come to congratulate me at three in the morning.
No, don’t say that, man.
We understand the proper customs as well.
I didn’t even allow the men
to knock hard on your door.
to knock hard on your door.
It really happened, I didn’t hear anything at all.
Sorry I kept you waiting until you opened.
Shall I make you some tea then?
No, no, just sit down, just sit.
I want to talk to you briefly.
Look, sir,
this is a new lease contract.
I want you to sign it for me.
And I want you to bring the old one so we can cancel it.
These things don’t work like this, Hamed.
Then what works, Uncle Mohamed?
Tell me what works.
We tried the other way with you, sir,
and it didn’t work.
So what should we do?
We’re not here to extort you
or to play tricks on you.
We’re here to get what’s rightfully ours.
Taking what’s rightfully yours is not shameful.
Honestly, Uncle Mohamed,
you know and I know
that the rent you pay for this apartment here
that the rent you pay for this apartment here
doesn’t equal the rent for a room in this area.
Walid,
no Walid, no Hamid.
Alright.
Sorry, just one moment.
Because Walid says taking what’s rightfully yours isn’t shameful.
What’s not shameful?
Everything you’re doing isn’t shameful?
Is this how you enter my home?
How did you even get in?
How did we get in?
Have you forgotten this was our home before it was yours?
Here, you are just a guest.
Look, we don’t want to waste time.
You have two options.
Either you sign this new lease contract,
all your furniture gets packed up right now
and taken out of here.
and taken out of here.
How do you mean take the furniture out now?
Then why did I bring these two?
To help you throw the furniture out of here.
Or do you think I brought them
to bully you or something? No, God forbid.
May my tongue be cut off.
I didn’t mean that, of course.
Alright, Hamed, alright.
Ten thousand pounds.
What, guys? That’s way too much.
Where am I going to get rent like this?
Fine, then don’t pay, Uncle Mohamed.
Come on, you and him, pack all this furniture up
and throw it down in the trash.
Wait a second, I’ll sign.
Wait a second, I’ll sign.
Relax, relax, guys.
Okay, Hamed, how about seven and a half?
My salary is actually seven and a half.
I’ll get paid.
Come on, man, you and him, please.
Sit down, everyone. Okay, Walid, I’ll sign.
Well, I don’t have a pen.
Let’s do it tomorrow then, God willing.
I will have bought one.
Why are you taking the pen?
Congratulations, Mr. Mohamed.
Congratulations, Mr. Mohamed.
Now bring me this month’s rent
and one month’s rent in advance.
No, no, please, that’s extortion.
I mean, should I bring you twenty thousand pounds now?
Is there
Who are these, Mohamed?
No, Shorouk, these are neighbors coming to congratulate us.
You know them, Good Cap and Bad Cap.
Go to sleep now, come on.
And bring the old lease contract so I can cancel it.
And bring the old lease contract so I can cancel it.
Come on, we want to catch the Fajr prayer.
All together, God willing.
Are you really going to pray Fajr after what you did?
Yeah, we will pray Fajr.
How did you sign this agreement?
Should I pay them two months’ rent?
Should I pay them two months’ rent?
This is almost all the money we have.
What did you want me to do?
They are thugs.
Are you going to fight them and get killed?
Would you be happy then?
How did they get in? I’m afraid they made another copy of the key.
They entered like they did; it doesn’t matter anymore.
Either way, we’re done.
We have to find another apartment with cheaper rent.
Look at this.
Is it safe here or not? Can we afford the new rent?
How can the rent be cheaper, Mohamed?
No, of course not.
It means the apartment won’t be decent or in a decent area.
You know the rents, right?
So what can I do?
So what can I do?
Should I go steal to support you?
Look at what we’re going through.
Go work abroad, Mohamed.
Work abroad?
You won’t achieve anything here.
And leave you all?
Is it that easy for you?
It’s not easy, Mohamed.
It might be harder on me than on you.
But one or two years to save an amount to rely on.
Honestly, life has become hard here.
And it will be much harder there.
Do you imagine what kind of work I’ll get there?
An engineer, for example?
An engineer, for example?
Do what you want, Mohamed, I’m with you.
I’m clearly with you.
What loan, Mohamed?
From the great target you achieved.
You’ve frozen your heart and now you’re asking for a loan?
Honestly, Mr. Gamal, it’s against my will.
My wife just gave birth and things aren’t good with me at all.
Then just work.
Work well, achieve your target, and you’ll get extra money at the end of the month.
Work well, achieve your target, and you’ll get extra money at the end of the month.
It’s easy, right?
Then why are you taking three days off?
I’m telling you, Mr. Gamal,
My wife just gave birth and is alone.
No one is with her at all.
I actually need to extend the leave till the end of the week to stay with her and help.
Extend the leave till the end of the week?
I gave you leave yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
And two weeks ago, you took three days off because your wife was also sick.
Mohamed, isn’t that enough?
Mr. Gamal, I’m not in a normal state.
Mr. Gamal, I’m not in a normal state.
My wife gave birth to seven.
Yeah, I know about the seven issue.
You know, Mohamed?
The numbers you achieve in this birth.
If you achieve them in the target, you will surpass this entire branch.
God willing, I will achieve it.
The important thing is you help me get out of this mess I’m in.
I won’t be able to help you this time, Mohamed.
We have a huge workload pressure.
No loans.
No leaves.
If you want to take leave, take it on your own account, unpaid leave.
You can’t take leave and then slack off at work, Mohamed.
Clear?
Clear?
Understood, Mr. Gamal.
God willing, the day after tomorrow I’ll be at my shift.
I hope so.
Go ahead.
Music
We’ll check how many points you have and apply the discount.
Shawqi.
I need your car today to work with all day.
I need your car today to work with all day.
I need money.
Wait a second.
Sorry, I’ll balance with you.
Wait for me there, I’m coming right away.
I swear to God, by your life.
I have installments to pay in ten days.
I’m more stuck than you.
Next week, take the car as much as you want.
So tell me, what did you do inside, Mohamed?
Mohamed
And what about your husband?
Leaving you alone with all this worry?
Isn't he coming to help you?
Is he going to start making excuses from the beginning or what?
Dad, life is tight for us as you can see.
I told him not to come down so he doesn’t tire himself.
Come down for what?
Why shouldn’t he tire himself?
This is just expenses for some milk and some diapers.
He’s never spent before nor does he know what expenses mean.
I swear by God, I swear by God I have spent on you, my dear.
Let Swiss spend it then.
The Shamdān biscuits, I swear I used to bring them for you by the cartons.
Remember?
Remember?
Dad, can you heat some water for me to change the kids?
Heat some water for me?
Call your useless husband, let him come help you.
He’s a dumb guy.
Peace be upon you.
Amorni
Don’t you need a delivery guy or a cashier or anything?
Bring your machine and start delivering now if you want.
So I have to have a machine?
Then how will you deliver the orders?
Then how will you deliver the orders?
No, I mean you guys should give me a machine to work on.
Ah.
You don’t seem to have worked delivery before.
All the guys standing outside, that’s their machine; they’re working delivery.
Just like any other place.
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
This is really hard on you, my dear.
You should get a nanny to help you raise these kids.
I wish that was possible.
But you’ll find that she gets paid that much or maybe even more than me usually.
But you’ll find that she gets paid that much or maybe even more than me usually.
I’m making tea, kids.
Anyone wants tea with me?
Thanks, uncle, bless your hands.
What tea, dad? Where’s the water? The boy is hungry.
Narmin, you really don’t want to drink tea?
How much sugar?
I’m on a diet, really, uncle. Thank you very much.
Tell your stingy husband to bring coffee.
The coffee is finished in the kitchen.
Okay, dad, I’ll send him a message on WhatsApp.
By the way, about the payment and all that.
First, ma’am, the company sent you this point with me.
Honestly, they all wanted to be here.
Honestly, they all wanted to be here.
But they said not to make too much noise here.
You all have worked hard, really not worth it.
Thank you.
Thank you, my dear.
Not worth it? Shorouq, this is a duty.
The manager himself sends a million greetings.
And says congratulations a thousand times.
Mr. Majid has always been a respectful man, honestly.
Ah.
But look, he told me to talk to you in a friendly way.
But look, he told me to talk to you in a friendly way.
Of course, you can’t leave the kids and start working now.
And of course, he understands your circumstances.
Ah, he’s always polite.
But I had already agreed with him to work from home after
the birth, and he agreed? Did he forget or what?
No, no, no, he didn’t mean that.
He means, unfortunately, that you can’t continue working with us.
Because you know, the nature of our work requires daily presence.
How? I’m a graphic designer, I work from home just like from the office.
How? I’m a graphic designer, I work from home just like from the office.
Besides, I was already working from home before the birth.
I didn’t fall short in anything, so what happened?
Honestly, Shorouq,
he said you
will give birth to one child like everyone else.
But when he found out about the seven, he was shocked.
Since then, he said you won’t be able to nurse or concentrate on work whether at home or at the company.
I will, I swear to God, I will.
Tell him, please, Narmin, let him test me; if I fail in anything, then he can speak up.
Honestly, my dear, I told him and tried to convince him in every way.
Honestly, my dear, I told him and tried to convince him in every way.
But unfortunately, he says this is a final decision.
I'm sorry
How are you, Mr. Mohamed?
Congratulations on the newborns
May they grow up under your care
What do you mean they no longer need you?
What do you mean they no longer need you?
Shorouk, talk to them, say anything
We are giving any penny on display
Unfortunately, the matter is over, Mohamed
They already brought someone else, as if I never existed
So they will pay me this month's salary
But starting next month, you have to manage
Now I’m the one who has to manage?
Weren't you the one who removed the IUD?
Then solve it yourself
How am I supposed to solve it, Mohamed?
Are you withdrawing from your responsibilities?
We are not withdrawing, Shorouk
But the situation I’m in is not normal
You left the job and the rent doubled on me
You left the job and the rent doubled on me
And I have expenses for seven kids
That means in at most a month, we won’t have food or a place to live
Then just let me borrow from dad
And don’t say no anymore
Do you want us to fight?
I told you a hundred times not to bring up this matter
Your father's money is none of our business
So just solve it and don’t complain, Mohamed
You mean all of this is happening and you don’t want me to complain?
How so?
Next Friday we will hold the baby’s naming ceremony, God willing
Is this man living with us or what?
Yes, brother, so we can invite people, aren’t there guests?
Excuse me, uncle, can I use the bathroom?
Excuse me, uncle, can I use the bathroom?
Go ahead, my dear
Hold on?
Why not Friday? Wouldn't Saturday be better, Mohamed?
That’s very strange, your husband is really strange
Please
Yes
I wanted to sell this mobile phone
What model is this?
Okay, this phone in its current condition is worth 500
Okay, this phone in its current condition is worth 500
500 what? I bought it for nine and a half and it hasn’t even lasted a year, honestly
Sir, phones develop rapidly every day
And this one is old now, you know these phones get worn out
The new one is the best, trust me
Okay, please lower it a bit, because 500 is very little
You know if you came tomorrow, I might say four, not five
Sir, these old phones aren’t worth it, nobody buys them
Listen to me, the new ones are new too - God make it easy
Well, did you sell it?
Well, did you sell it?
Here you go, sir
The best five thousand, count your money, sir
Okay, please find me a used phone in good condition to get me by
But the most important thing is that it has WhatsApp
Whatever you want, my dear
This one is top-notch and its condition is also top-notch
And only for two thousand pounds
What’s with the two thousand pounds? Come on, this is very old
What’s with the two thousand pounds? Come on, this is very old
Sir, sir, these old things are well built
You can throw it hard against the wall and it’ll come back to you
But the new phones, if they fall, you have to get a new screen or motherboard, trust me
Old is old anyway
How is the schizophrenia treating you?
Gotta make a living, sir
May I have two thousand pounds, please?
Does it have WhatsApp?
It has WhatsApp, Facebook, Skype, and everything
Two thousand pounds, sir
Bless your hands
You’ve honored me, sir, safe travels
Will the milk run out too? Will there be a crisis or what?
Why?
Because you bought two cans of milk from me yesterday
Yes, no, they finished
Finished?
One can is enough for the baby for four days
Your child drank it in one day?
Well, it’s not just one child
Even if it’s two twins, sir
They still wouldn’t drink them in one day
They still wouldn’t drink them in one day
Something’s wrong, you need to have them checked
Two children? That’s the biggest number for you?
How much is the bill?
Two hundred and twenty times three hundred and sixty-six.
What is the two hundred and twenty?
Didn't I take the box from you yesterday for two hundred and ten?
Yes sir, that was yesterday. Today the gasoline price went up, and when gasoline goes up, everything goes up.
What does gasoline have to do with milk? Does the cow drink gasoline?
Sir, I swear it's not my doing. These are the company's prices, and we sell according to them.
And this milk isn't even milked from a cow.
Sir, it's a cow and a goat.
Sir, it's a cow and a goat.
God forgive me, Lord, where else would I find it?
Okay, can you see if there's another type that's cheaper?
Unfortunately, no.
There is no power nor strength except through God.
Look, I'll tell you an idea: if the mother's milk isn't enough, go get subsidized milk from the Ministry of Health.
Really? Is there such a thing?
Yes, and the box costs five pounds.
By God, five pounds?
What's wrong, sir? You've exhausted my nerves, I swear. And the child needs six boxes a month.
Six boxes means instead of paying 1200 pounds, I'll pay 30 pounds per month?
Are you serious or joking?
Are you serious or joking?
I swear, sir, I'm serious. I want to guide you to something good. Besides, this isn't new; it's been around for a long time. Go to the health center in your area, and you'll get it.
The health center? God bless you, I don't know how to thank you. What's your name?
Faris.
God bless you. Give me a kiss, Faris, come here.
What's wrong, sir?
God bless you. You saved me, Faris. You don't know what you've done. You're just telling me the info like it's nothing. God bless you, may you be safe.
Okay, I'll take just one box then.
Okay.
Two hundred and twenty.
Thank you so much, Faris. Really, Faris, I don't know, give me a kiss, Faris, sorry.
Thank you so much, Faris. Really, Faris, I don't know, give me a kiss, Faris, sorry.
Alright, sir.
God bless you. You saved me, I swear you saved me and saved seven lives. Peace be upon you.
Goodbye.
Brother, you should have let him take the three boxes.
You know, Shorouq, if this subsidized milk thing goes well,
God will compensate us for the rent
that increased and your lost work.
This conversation will save us exactly 8,500 a month.
Can you imagine?
Can you imagine?
This phone's touchscreen needs healing.
Look, you have to press something four times for it to open.
What, Shorouq? What is this?
How did you even sleep in this state?
Shorouq.
Come on, Shorouq.
Wake up, come on, it's daylight.
Let me sleep, Mohammed. I couldn't sleep.
Your kids kept me awake all night.
Okay, wake up now so we don't get late.
Is that subsidized milk going to run out?
Honey, we have to go early before the crowd.
And we still have a long way to go.
Come on, sorry, for the kids' sake.
Well, you go then.
Honestly, I'm tired and the wound is hurting me, and I didn't sleep at all.
Honestly, I'm tired and the wound is hurting me, and I didn't sleep at all.
Why should I go? I told you, honey,
I asked, and they said both the father and mother must be present the first time to give them the milk.
Come on, honey, we're in a hurry, and you know that.
Okay.
Good girl, good girl.
Get up.
God forgive me, Lord.
I don't understand. Why doesn't your sister come? Why does she stay with the kids instead of being upset like this?
Honey, her husband yells at her, and you know him.
She can't leave the house.
Besides, we should be grateful she agreed to let us take care of the kids until we finish our errand and come back.
Not like others.
You mean dad, right?
You mean dad, right?
What's this cleverness? Is there anyone else?
He should just stay with the kids, that's it.
But how?
He wants grandchildren ready-made.
Not to help.
Dad won't change or take care of the kids.
He's old.
He can't handle this trouble or headache.
Alright, alright.
Mohamed, why don’t we take a taxi for the kids?
What taxi?
My sister lives in Helwan.
You know how much a trip like this would cost us?
Well, we’ll need a minibus just for ourselves then.
Not alone or anything.
Just calm down and I want you to think carefully.
We’re not like before anymore.
We’re about to declare bankruptcy soon, Shorouq.
Is there a minibus coming?
He signaled to me, he signaled to me.
Yes, boss.
Yes.
Yes.
Sorry, everyone, really we’re sorry.
Sorry, everyone, really we’re sorry.
Don’t say that, Mr. Mohamed.
We’re neighbors.
And neighbors are for each other.
Minibus, minibus, Shorouq.
Let’s give it, Mohamed.
Yes, sir, yes.
Yes, thanks.
But thank you.
What am I going to do then?
Peace be upon you.
Excuse me, miss, please hold this.
Say “In the name of God.”
Yes, in the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Excuse me, lady.
Go ahead, say it.
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Come in, Shorouq, for the wound.
Come in, sit down.
Come in, sit down.
What’s going on?
Nothing.
Nothing, boss.
Bless your hands.
Thank you.
Here, take it, miss, sorry.
Yes.
What’s all this?
Hurry up a bit, sir.
You’re delaying people from their business.
Okay, sorry, sorry.
Sorry.
Here, boss, take this.
And give the one next to you.
Because I still have something else for you.
Yes, bless your hands.
Thank you, sorry to bother you with us.
May God protect you.
Here.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Thank you, Mr. Ibrahim.
May God not put you in hardship.
May God not put you in hardship.
May God bless you, thank you.
We’ll see you at the celebrations.
Come on, boss, please.
Sorry, everyone.
We’re sorry if we bothered you.
I’m getting off at the next street, sir.
Where should I leave the boy?
Give him to whoever will ride in your place, sorry.
We’re sorry.
Should I leave the boy on the couch?
Sorry, Hiba.
We’ll trouble you today.
We’ll trouble you today.
But God willing, we won’t be late.
No, my dear, your trouble is a comfort, no trouble at all.
You’re lucky I have the day off today.
So take your time.
Pray for us, please, Hiba, may God make it easy for us.
This subsidized milk issue is very important for us.
You surely understand.
Yes, my dear, sorry.
God willing, He will make it easy and you’ll find everything.
Look, Hiba, you’ll find the bibs washed and sterilized.
You’ll also find the diapers and moisturizing cream.
And the milk box is all in the bag.
That’s it, Mrs. Shorouq.
Have you forgotten I’m a mother before you or what?
Or because you had seven kids you’re making an encyclopedia for us?
No, I know you’re a senior mother.
No, I know you’re a senior mother.
Yes.
Okay then, we’re juniors, let’s go.
Let’s go, God be with you.
Take care, Hiba.
May God protect it.
God is with me now.
Let’s ask anyone.
Let’s ask anyone inside? Come here.
Let’s ask anyone inside? Come here.
They’re like us, why ask them? Come here, Shorouq.
Come here.
Peace be upon you.
And upon you peace.
The subsidized milk is at window 4, which is outside.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
If this is window 6,
If this is window 6,
then this should be window...
Excuse me, where is window 4?
This is the line.
Oh my God, Mohammed.
Mohammed!
[music]
See the crowd? I told you to come early.
It's 8 in the morning, I don't even know when all these people arrived.
It's 8 in the morning, I don't even know when all these people arrived.
When did they arrive? Some have been here since yesterday.
Did you see the milk for five pounds? How it looks?
May God grant it to us, amen.
Amen, amen.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I got excited.
God willing.
[music]
[music]
What is this? Don't they give bags?
Put some in my bag or something.
Your bag? We're taking forty-two cans to put in the bag, Shorouk?
Next time, next month then.
You, sir.
God willing.
Alright, where is your receipt card?
Yes, one second, you have the file?
Here you go, sir, all the papers are here.
And this is her ID, and my ID is inside the papers.
What papers and IDs, sir?
Where is the receipt card you use every time you collect?
No, I haven't collected before, this is my first time.
You haven't even been issued one, and you came just to collect like this.
Go, sir, to the last corridor of the Maternity and Childhood Department.
Go, sir, to the last corridor of the Maternity and Childhood Department.
Get approval from them so you can get the receipt card.
Here you go.
I told you, Mohammed, ask before we stand in this line for nothing.
How would I know, Shorouk? I haven't been here before.
I'm sorry, ma'am, I thought I'd collect immediately.
You collect immediately like that?
Why? Is there a problem?
Come on, sir, please.
Next, please.
Come on, Shorouk, don’t move away, come on, come on.
Let me tell you something, lady of all.
Where is the place to apply for subsidized milk?
So we can get approval and receive the card and such.
Second room on the right.
Let me tell you something.
Are you sure you don't have milk in your chest?
Are you sure you don't have milk in your chest?
Because if you have milk in your chest,
expect them to send you back.
Why would they send me back?
Because they only give this milk
to those who don't have milk in their chest.
Wow.
Alright, we'll say we don't have milk in our chest.
That's not possible, sir, they'll know.
How will they know?
This is a very personal matter, by the way.
Well, ma'am?
Before they sign your approval,
they have to do a breast exam.
It's the law.
Mohammed.
Exam? Am I here to sell it or what?
What are you saying, ma'am?
Yes, so they know how much milk you have.
Who are you talking about?
Who are you talking about?
I'm talking about you, Shorouk, who else would I be talking about?
Calm down, let me explain.
I mean, some people come to get this subsidized milk
for five pounds,
and they don't actually need it.
So they sell it on the black market.
So the exam is necessary to make sure you deserve it,
and it's not enough for the baby.
You understand now? That's the issue.
It's not just one child, ma'am.
So it's impossible for it to be enough for them.
Ah, twins then.
You're having twins and getting checked.
You're lucky.
Thank God, we worried for nothing, Mohammed.
That's what we've been trying to explain to you since morning.
That's what we've been trying to explain to you since morning.
And you kept saying exam, exam, exam.
Come on, hurry up so you don't miss out.
Congratulations, sister, congratulations.
Congratulations on the milk.
Thank you, thank you, lady of all.
You won't get examined, don't hide it.
Did you do a breast exam at the screening clinic?
No, sir, they told us that those who have twins
are not examined.
They immediately dispense milk for them.
Alright, that's correct.
But be careful,
they will dispense milk for only one child, not two.
That's the rule.
The state covers one child, and you cover one child.
The state covers one child, and you cover one child.
What is this?
What do you mean, sir?
It means you will get 6 cans, not 12.
What about those who have more than two children?
Ah, as for the triplets,
the state covers two children,
and you cover one child.
You will receive 12 cans.
Very good, nice, okay.
We cover one child, okay, okay.
Alright, here is the paperwork, sir.
We have septuplets.
What, septuplets?
What septuplets?
No, I don't have a rule for that.
I only have rules for twins and triplets.
I only have rules for twins and triplets.
Sir, the paperwork is right in front of you.
Are we forging it or what?
We really have seven.
We have seven children.
No, no, seven is really too many, honestly.
What is this?
You are not following family planning rules.
That means you have no place with us.
And then, let me tell you something, sir.
Do you want to go and have seven children
and have the state pay for them?
Huh?
Take responsibility for your mistake.
My mistake? I don't understand.
Did I have them on purpose?
Or did I request an order for seven?
Sir, the seven came all at once like that.
Sir, the seven came all at once like that.
How can we organize this?
I really don't know.
It's the first time I've encountered a case like this.
No, no, no.
I'm sorry.
I can't fill out this form
nor approve it.
This is a very large amount.
And I can't take responsibility for it.
Let me tell you something.
Go upstairs to
the department director.
Get it signed by him.
God forgive me, Lord.
Bring the paper.
Seven.
Help me, Mohamed.
Ah, seven.
That's a lot.
What can I do?
Come on, Shorouq.
Help me, Mohamed.
Help me, Mohamed.
Come on, Shorouq.
Seven.
Ah.
Mohamed.
No, I'm sorry.
I can't approve dispensing all the milk you need.
You will drain all the milk in the department like this.
Sir, this entire department won't be able to feed seven kids.
And I will?
Sir, don't forget there are others who also need it.
Can you imagine how much you want?
Can you imagine how much you want?
How many families could that cover?
We are the most needy family for this milk.
Please help us, doctor.
Honestly, I want to help you.
But understand my position.
As a department director, I can't approve dispensing this amount.
I'm afraid of administrative oversight, everyone.
Don't worry, doctor, don't worry.
I'll tell you, we'll come at night when it's dark and put them in a black bag.
So where do we sign this paper or where do we go? I don't understand anything.
Honestly, I don't know either.
Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you.
The most I can do to help you
The most I can do to help you
is to treat you like the triplets mentioned in the law.
Meaning, per month, I will give
milk for two children of the triplets, 12 cans per month.
That barely lasts a week, Mohamed.
Honestly, I can't do more than that.
That's the most I can do.
No, and of course, we don’t want to bother you, so we handled these things, sir.
No, and of course, we don’t want to bother you, so we handled these things, sir.
Alright, Shorouk, fine, there’s no other solution.
Okay.
Alright, sir, we agreed on 12 cans per month.
Good thinking.
What’s this? These children are just born, not even a week old.
Yes, sir, that’s what we’re telling you, these are young children who need milk.
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to dispense the milk like this.
Milk is dispensed after a month from birth so their names are registered in the system.
It’s simple, come back to us after a month.
It’s simple, come back to us after a month.
[music]
What a wasted trip.
We’ve been exhausted all day for nothing.
I can’t believe we have to come back in another month.
I can’t believe we have to come back in another month.
I’m not going; you go.
Is that your problem?
Have you thought about where we’ll get milk until next month?
I only have the money left from the phone credit I sent yesterday.
God will make things right, don’t worry.
Hurry, she’s about to wake up.
I can’t.
No, they’re sleeping, thank God.
Thank God.
[music]
Mohamed.
Yes?
There are only six here; we forgot one in the minibus.
What?
