You went easy on me this time.

You thought you could ambush me?
I'll show you!

Your hair's all wet. Go to your mom.

He'll get sick.

I told you a million times
not to go out with wet hair.

Come here. Come!

I want to do it myself.

Come on.

Stay still!

Come here.

Sit up!

Dad, will there be horses
at the wedding?

Of course.

And a full band too.

Will you dance?

Yeah.

Let's go, Aicha.

I'm coming, Brahim.

Amine!

Mehdi.

We're leaving, let's go.

We'll shower and join you.

Don't be late.

Okay, Mom.

Congratulations!

- May God bless your marriage.
- Thank you.

Hello.

Have you seen Adam?

He went to look at the horses.

Stop fighting.

- Have you eaten?
- No.

Go find your mothers,
they have dinner for you.

Go, honey.

Adam.

Come eat with us.

What is it?

Tell me.

They're gone.

Who?

My brothers.

They're on their way here.

They won't come back.

- Mom.
- Did I scare you?

I'm sorry.

Go back to sleep.

Good morning, Aicha.

I finished my chores,
so I thought I'd stop by.

Have a seat.

Thanks.

Let me help you.

Shefri hasn't been himself.

And he hit you again.

He's been in a rage since Anwar left.

How could I have known
he was going to leave?

Is there coffee?

I'll pour you one.

But I won't do a reading.

Thank you.

What did you tell your little one?

I told him they went to Italy
looking for work.

How long can you protect him
from the truth?

I don't want him to know.

Please, I need a reading.

I can't bear the uncertainty.

I need to know if my son
is coming back or not.

If he's dead,

at least I can start mourning.

Tell me.

Fatma.

Please.

Only God really knows.

Please Fatma.

Please.

Excuse me, Sergeant,
can you sign this for me?

I told you already,
I'll call if there's anything new.

Brahim.

Amine is good at school.

The ones that go are brainwashed.

Last night, another Tunisian with ISIS,

the same age as your boys,

blew himself up, killing twenty.

If your boys return,
they'll go straight to prison.

Finished with school?

Take off that wet coat. You'll get sick.

Can I go sell bread
with Cenda and Ghaith?

No.

You just got home.

- Do you want something to eat?
- No.

Did you share your snack with them?

- I split it equally.
- Good job.

So can I go now?

I said no.

- Please Mom?
- I said no.

- Please?
- I said no.

Adam!

Come help me.

He'll get soaked.

It'll pass.

Let's go, Adam.

What is it?

You're going to say I did it wrong.

I won't. Start turning.

Just keep it straight.

There you go.

See, it's easy.

Why don't you just give up
on this old thing?

As long as I'm alive, I'll keep fixing it.

I'm never getting rid of it.

Can I play with Cenda and Ghaith?

You little monkey.

That's why you've been dawdling.

Go on.

How many did you sell?

I sold five.

For how much?

Bilal is coming!

Bilal!

What's up, Bilal?

Give me a kiss.

You're good Hama?

What's new?

We're selling bread.

What's your price?

- Half a dinar.
- No, one dinar.

Last week it was half a dinar,
now it's one dinar?

That was last week.

Life is getting expensive,
there's a lot of inflation.

We have the best quality.
You won't regret it.

- You swear?
- On my honor.

I'll take one from each of you.

- Bilal, can I go with you?
- Get in.

Who wants candy?

Share with your friends.

Out of the way!

- Can I drive?
- You want to drive?

Fine, but let's get a bit farther away.

I can't let you do this every time.

Don't drive us into a ditch.

Good job.

Move your hands down a bit.

- You like it?
- Yeah.

- A lot?
- Yeah.

I know where they went.

Mehdi and Amine.

Does it mean they are terrorists now?

It's possible.

I still love them.

Is that okay?

It's okay.

I miss them.

I miss them too.

Let's see if you got taller.

Move.

Right here.

Can you go
to the police station tomorrow?

I went this morning.

When were you going to tell me?

There's nothing new.

Did you put enough pressure?

I did the best I could.

Your best?

I would have set fire
to the station if I had to.

Destroyed the whole place.

You've destroyed enough.

You spoiled Mehdi rotten.

You told me to go easy on him.

Until he became an easy target.

And brainwashed his brother.

Enough of this.

My sons are on the edge of death
and this is all you can speak of?

Your sons are outcasts.

As long as their mother is alive,
they can come home whenever they want.

How do you not understand?

They went to train in beheading.

In rape.

Wake up, Aicha!

Get away from me.

I said get away!

Let go of my sister!

Come down here.

Let him sit where he wants.

I'm not moving anywhere.

Your cut hasn't healed?

It's been awhile.

It will heal.

Move these out of the way.

Move it, move it!

Let's start.

Arms up!

- You want me to take off my ring?
- Yeah.

I'll put it here.

Okay, let's go. Right, then left.

Right, left. Faster. Guard up!

Stop it!

Focus!

He's protecting his face.

You have to keep your hands up.

See how well he uses his left jab?

He just pushed him.

Want a lift?

I'll take it.

Hold on.

I was going to pass by after work.

What's this?

The money you lent me
when I was at the police academy.

It was a gift.

You have to take it.

Please.

If your dad was around, he'd be proud.

I look for lost sheep all day

and babysit the drunks.

I'm a huge success!

Your brother.

Did you see it happen?

I heard.

So you're not sure.

He's dead, Mom.

Mehdi.

Where's Amine?

Where's Amine?

Mehdi?

Where's Amine?

Her name is Reem.

It's a miracle that they made it here.

Her face is covered with a rag,
we don't even know what she looks like.

If they stay here, we can all go to jail.

She's pregnant.

She's carrying our child.

It's not ours.

Ours was abandoned by his brother
and slaughtered.

I'm making a warm meal for my son.

Go hide the truck.

I'll heat some water so you can wash.

You didn't like the soup?

Lately she throws up whatever she eats.

Made you fall!

Help me with this.

Get the blankets.

Your bed is ready.

Let's go, Adam.

Come, Adam.

Say hello to my wife.

Come closer, don't be afraid.

What's wrong, Mom?

I'm fine.

Go back to bed.

Why didn't Amine come home?

He'll come back in the summer.

Go to sleep, honey.

Thirsty?

Adam.

I brought you some water.

Come sit with me.

- Can we play football later?
- Adam.

I told you to not bother him.

I forgot the salt, go get it.

Now.

I brought breakfast.

He thinks you went to work in Italy.

He knows not to tell anyone you're back.

How's your buddy Ayoub?

He's fine.

How about your girlfriend?

I'm not going to let this slide!

Come on, I really want to know.

Stay still.

Flex your abs.

I farted.

I used to come here with my brothers

and my friends.

We'd swim all day.

Bilal was the fastest.

You have to be more careful.

No one can see you.

I'm cleaning the crib for you.

I still don't know anything about
your wife.

She's from northern Syria.

From a family of farmers like us.

Does her family know she's here?

They were all killed.

They're not Muslim.

ISIS killed the men.

And kidnapped the women.

I'm the only one she has.

Why is she always wearing a niqab?

You don't want her to take it off?

She wants to wear it.

But you said she wasn't Muslim.

Take off your hoodie.

We're at the dinner table.

Women here are allowed to speak.

Or can't you think, like your husband?

Dad!

Brahim, drop it.

Let's cut the bullshit.

Why did you go?

Adam, get up.

It wasn't what I thought it would be.

I knew you were lazy and useless.

But I didn't think you were an idiot.

Why did you drag your brother with you?

It was his choice.

You're lying.

Why would he give up
his university studies

to follow a gang of thugs?

You brainwashed him.

It wasn't me.

You suffocated us.

Treated us like workhorses.
That's why Amine left.

You're lying!

What do you want with this?

- They leave tomorrow.
- Let's talk about this.

- Tomorrow they leave.
- Be patient.

- I have no patience left.
- They have nowhere to go.

Let them stay until she gives birth.

Mom will help us.

Mehdi.

We were together

until Raqqa.

Then we were separated.

What's Seif up to?

He smuggled himself to Europe.

Did he make it?

Yes.

And Oussama?

He works in the capital now.

We left because of Dad.

Are you serious?

Amine is dead.

Our brother is dead.

I thought about you every night.

About whether I should go and get you.

Every time I saw your mom,

it was so hard to look her in the eyes.

Look at me when I'm talking to you.

What the fuck? Open your eyes!

Say something, for fuck's sake.

Bilal.

Did you see him?

Please don't tell anyone.

Okay.

Swear it.

I swear.

Look at me.

- Swear on your mother's grave.
- On my mother's grave.

Come closer.

Mehdi?

Tell me.

What's wrong?

Honey.

What's bothering you?

What's wrong with him?

He's fine.

Where's your owner?

Moncef?

Moncef left the door wide open.

I found all his sheep wandering.

I've been waiting for him for an hour.

I haven't seen his brother Hedi
around either.

Maybe they went together somewhere.

If he's not back in a few days,
I'll file a missing persons report.

I know Mehdi is back.

I'm not going to report him.

You said you'd play with me.

Maybe later.

Are you okay, Mom?

I'm fine.

I'm happy you wanted to help me.

You're a big boy now
and I can count on you.

You realize you're going
to be an uncle soon?

Me, an uncle?

Of course.

You're going to help us with the baby.

But I won't change any diapers.

That's what you're afraid of?

Mehdi?

What's wrong?

Don't touch her.

You're safe here.

I'm with you.

A wolf attacked her.

So I slaughtered her.

A wolf?

How did it come in?

The door was wide open.

She was one of the pregnant ones.

That's 1500 dinars.

There are no bite marks.

Could have been the ram.

The ram?

Maybe she didn't want to submit to him.

I killed her.

Brahim.

Mehdi.

Get out here now!

Please don't. I beg you.

What the hell is this, Mehdi?

I did it. He had nothing to do with it.

You're lying.

I'm tired of this charade.

Move, Aicha.

Mom.

Mom?

Mom?

Adam.

Come.

Come, don't be afraid.

Smells good.

I hope you left me some.

Want a drink?

I'm good.

I spoke to Aicha,
she told me you were here.

No thanks.

Don't give up.

My family is everything that I am.

So who does my life belong to now?

When is Dad coming home?

Mom.

I want her to leave.

She's Mehdi's wife.

We have to accept her.

Reem?

Reem?

Jump.

He won't eat anything.

Look who came to visit you.

Bilal wants to see you.

Please, honey.

Mehdi?

Mom?

Be patient, we'll find them.

How can I be patient?

Now three of my friends are missing.

- What are you doing about it, Bilal?
- Calm down.

We're working on it.

Go talk to the wife. I'll deal with this.

Thank you, Bilal.

I'll come by tomorrow.
Call me if there's anything new.

I will.

The kids are in there,
if you want to talk to them.

- Hey boys.
- Hello.

How's it going, Hama?

What's your name?

Beyrem.

Want a treat?

Your mom said I could talk to you
about your dad.

Sure.

Did you notice or hear anything
different last night?

No, nothing.

Nothing at all?

No.

What time did you go to sleep?

- Eight o'clock.
- You're sure?

Yes.

And you?

She doesn't talk.

She's mute?

Yes.

Can you nod yes or no to my questions?

Did you hear or see anything last night?

You were with your dad?

Was he alone?

With another man?

Was it a woman?

If I give you a pen,
can you draw what you saw?

Find anything?

I managed to reassure them.

I want help. I can't find them on my own.

Fine, we'll do a search party.

You'll see.

They'll be back soon
with a simple explanation.

But I know these men.

I see them every day.
Something's strange.

Moncef!

Nabil!

Mom.

See.

What are you hiding from me?

Tell me.

Mehdi.

We have to go.

Keep moving.

Mehdi?

We have to go.

This is the last checkpoint.

Then home.

Mehdi.

Look at me.

What's wrong?

They're watching us.

Come.

Stop!

On your knees!

You come here.

Run.

Don't move!

You ran from your brother.

Who is she?

I wanted to die.

But she saved me.

What are you doing here?

Don't want to say hello?

Get in.

I have some work to do near the dam.

Othman!

Othman?

Mr. Walid.

A fourth one is missing.

Othman El Riahi.

I checked all his usual
drinking spots, he's gone.

Of course I talked to his wife.
She hasn't seen him.

Yes, we have a big problem.

I've been trying to tell you that
from the beginning.

Fine, I'll drop by the station.

Let's go, Adam.

Come on.

I don't want to go home.

Why?

I'm scared.

Of what?

Mehdi's wife.

Let's go.

Quick.

Here you are.

Let me sleep over tonight.

I already told you, I work tonight.

Please, Bilal.

I swear, I can't tonight.

What's wrong?

Mehdi?

Come.

See.

What did you do to him?

Please look at me.

I'm talking to you, answer me!

Answer me!

I want to understand.

I want to understand.

Today is your final test.

Bring her in.

I beg you.

This is an unbeliever.

Don't pity her.

She tried to escape and killed
one of my guards in cold blood.

I beg you.

Please God.

We will enact divine justice.

She is sentenced to death by beating.

Please have mercy.

Have mercy.

Help me.

I'm Reem.

I'm 24 years old.

I beg you, help me!

Help me.

I'm pregnant.

Ignore her.

You're asking for mercy.

Good.

Confess that you are a sinner

and you'll have mercy.

I confess.

You heard her.

She confessed to her sinful nature.

She is ready to meet the holy judge.

Kill her.

I pity you.

I pity you.

I pity all of you.

Animals!

Mehdi, my son.

Show the others how it's done.

I can't do it.

Yes, you can.

What are you waiting for?

Go.

Move it!

Kick her!

Beat her!

Don't think! Beat her!

Stop!

She's dead.

Son.

What happened?

Where's Mehdi?

It's Bilal.

God is great.

Don't be afraid.

Say goodbye to your brother.

Adam.

Come.

I'm here for you.
