My father got me my first camera

He'd lead me down the streets as if he was showing me this new country, Australia

...for the first time.

And then I got older...

And he became darker... drunker...

My brother Niko couldn't stand it anymore, so he left

That's when dad retreated into himself, into the world of his past

My parents got to this country in bounds...

...and our father made a swear we'd never go back

Dad, I'll call you a cab...

Yeah... I love you too!

Say goodbye to your mother for me

How did it go? Is he still angry about your exhibition?

Don't worry about it! You know how he's like!

I just can't wait to get on the fucking plane!

You don't have to go. You know it, don't you?

Mom, you're kidding me, aren't you?

Based on the book by Christos Tsiolkas, author of "The Slap" and "Loaded-Head On"

Mom, it'll be fine

We have to do it in a church, with a priest, with prayers...

No, No! Why?

Dad was an atheist, his whole life. He was a fucking communist, for Christ's sake

An Orthodox church service... is an insult to everything he believed in

- Mom, he wanted to be cremated! - No, no! We don't do that!

We are a Greek family! He will have...

Mom! I'm taking his ashes back to Greece!

- The Papigo (=a mountainous village) - No, no! You can't go there!

Mom, Isaac is going to Greece anyway...

Let Niko do it. He's already in Europe!

Right... I left Niko messages. He's not returning any of them

The blackness... it followed your father and took him!

Bullshit!

It was an accident!

Don't go!

It'll come for you too!

- Grandma? - Yes, sweetheart?

Is grandpa living in hell and not with God?

No darling

Grandpa is in heaven looking over us

What about Jesus?

Yeah, he's there too

Funny Jews and Moslems, they go to hell

Don't listen to her Christos!

Grandma is just upset, OK?

We can't say these things to him. He's a child

It's what I believe!

Well, yeah, but it's poison!

It's pure poison!

Because of the European Union, now everything goes slowly - slowly

The prices go high...

Athens in the beginning of the 2008-2010 crisis,

when the city center collapsed and was taken over by illegals

Then express your idea the Greek way...

�hink in another way than the others...

What drives you to take these photos?

The Exile-and-the-Return thing is a bit old-fashioned

Well I suppose a lot of us in Australia feel we've come from somewhere else

But you were born there. You grew up there!

Yeah. And I feel like a tourist here

You've never been to Greece before?

No one of my family has ever come back

- You're the first? - Yeah

What are you so frightened of?

Nothing...

- How are you? - Yeah... good!

You're... by yourself?

I smoke my first cigerette at your uncle Paul's house, in Melbourne. Remember?

That's right!

- You threw up! - Because the place was disgusting!

None of the rest of the family came?

No, they wanted to see you at home first.

They're really upset about uncle Vasili

He didn't really talk about them that much

- He didn't huh? - No

- They talk about him? - No!

I mean... not often. Not at all often!

- Weird... - Yeah... it's really weird

Fucking weird...

My father asked me to give this to you

It was Vasili's

My mom wanted to throw it away. She hated the communists.

My brother's son is here! You should behave in a civilized manner!

Why are you such a coward? Tell him like a man that...

I'd like to go to Australia. The sun, the beaches...

...the desert, surf and all this... the models...

Have you got a girlfriend?

No, I'm gay

Do you have a boyfriend?

No, no.. no boyfriend. Just lots of random sex

- But... he's gay! - Cut it out!

So... how was the exhibition?

OK... it was good... I think...

- It was good? - It was great!

Who buys these paintings?

We'd buy one. Adriana, let's buy one of Isaac's paintings!

They're not actually paintings.

It's... photography...

Then, we'll buy three!

- Done! - Done! Which ones?

I don't care. You choose...

You'd best keep drinking

So, what have you been doing since you got here?

Not much. I walked through the city and took some photos

We don't go to the city anymore. It's been taken over by the refugees

They're pigs!The government should just get rid of them

Isn't that what the people used to say about the Jews?

Our family... we protected Jews during the war!

- We saved lives! - Right... I've never heard that before

- Vasili never told you? - No

You'd think dad, of all people, would have mentioned something like that?

- And so... you're gonna go to Papigo? - Yeah, tomorrow

Adriana... please!

With Vasili's ashes?

Your father... he just ran away!

Dad left because of the fascists!

What a lier!

Who stayed here and looked after his elderly parents?

...took care of them? ... paid for them?

Giorgio did! The younger brother did! And where was Vasili?

What are you talking about? Dad sent money

And now his son comes back here and I have to have him in my home!

And he's just the same! Lies and more lies!

Isaac!

I'm sorry!

- What the fuck? - I know...

- Is she crazy? - Yes, yes. They're all crazy

- She hates me - No, she doesn't hate you! She's just..

...stuck! You know what I mean? I don't care about any of that shit!

Really!

- So, you're leaving? - Yeah

I could come with you... if you want?

This is Niko. Leave a message

Niko, it's me, Isaac

Why ain't you returning my calls?

I'm in Athens, I'm gonna go to Papigo to scatter dad's ashes

I thought you'd be here already. You're my brother, I need you to come with me

(=Park "Pedio Areos", a gay cruising place, at your own risk!)

You alright?

Yes... alright

Come on!

Look, I'm gonna go. Can I buy you some food... or something?

No

Nice camera

Thanks!

You...?

...take photo?

Of you?

- At my house? - Yeah!

Yeah, I can do that

OK

- I'm Isaac - Yosef

I live not far

Come on! Please!

Come on!

Hi! I'm Isaac. He was being robbed and I found him

Come!

- Coffee? - That would be great!

Natalia

You can take some more...? Just like this?

(=Aliens Temporary Residence Permit)

You want me to take a passport portrait?

Some more...

Shit!

Are you OK?

You want a blowjob?

No... no

- You want to fuck? - No... I was...

I was actually wondering if it'd be OK if I took some photos here?

- Photos? - Yeah...

OK

No, no, no! Look...

To exhibit... To show people

- Are you police? - No, no! I'm not!

I'm not police

OK

You're fucking kidding me!

OK, I'm outta film

Look! I'm gonna get a taxi, get more film... I'll be back. OK?

You won't be back...

I will! I promise!

Wait!

She's not my mother

Help me!

Please!

I'll be back in an hour

Yosef?

Natalia?

Yosef!

Quiet! Please, it's late!

Look I know, I'm sorry. I'm looking for Natalia and Yosef?

He left, long time ago

I was just with them...

- She's dead. Gone... - Many months ago

- The boy is gone - No, no!

Natalia!

Natalia!

Yosef!

Hey Isaac!

I'm sorry. Andreas...

- ... the designated driver was late - I had a big night

Andreas, this is my handsome and talented cousin, Isaac...

...whom I told you about.

I can tell you right now I'm not staying in any fucking youth hostel!

Well, if you're so worried about it, maybe your handsome...

...talented, back-packing cousin can drive us there!

- You can drive, can't you Isaac? - Yeah

Right, get in!

I'm wasted and you don't have a license

It'll be fine. Let's go! Papigo!

Andreas'es father is also from the mountains

You call me a peasant?

I love peasant boys!

- Yes, for a dirty week end - Now, that you're getting married... yes

Are you getting married?

Yeah!

First time in the mountains?

Yeah. It's my first time in Greece

Thanks!

Yulia told me about your father

What did she say?

She said something about him being cursed...?

You fucking kidding me?

Thirsty?

No

What the fuck are you doing Isaac?

Nothing

I thought...

It's nothing

We don't need all this junk!

What are you doing now?

Isaac?

I met this woman. She knew your father

Coffee? Isaac, coffee?

No

What the fuck?

This is fucking bullshit!

Isaac!

Relax!

Yosef?

Yosef!

You said you'd come back Why didn't you help me?

I feel like shit

You look beautiful

I need to give up drugs

So do I...

You want me to come with you?

Well it doesn't look like anyone else is coming

I wish by brother had turned up

Don't let that old woman freak you out

I don't know...

Dad, you know, never wanted to talk about the mountains

- Maybe he was scared - Yeah, right...

You told Andreas my father was cursed.

Why?

Grandma said it!

Your father... he carried some kind of...

- You know... - You don't believe that! Do you?

No!

- Maybe! - How can ya take any of that shit seriously?

- It's not that simple! - Yeah, it is!

Then, who's Elias, the Jewish boy? My father said...

How the fuck should I know?

Here!

Put this on!

Do it for me! Please?

Do it for your father

I think I should just do this on my own, you know...

I came because you're my cousin!

I appreciated it but you and Andreas should go.

I'll get the bus back alone

��

Thanks!

I'll see you

Vasilis Raftis

- Speak english! - No english!

Why didn't you help me? Why didn't you help me?

This is Niko. Leave a message. Thanks

Hey, it's me. I'm going to Paris, to see Gerry

He's an old friend of dad's

And then I'm coming to Budapest Niko, like it or not!

Isaac!

Isaac Raftis?

Yeah

Let's go...

When he came to France we called him Guillaume (=typical French name)

And he gave his son a Jew's name!

- What's wrong with that? - Nothing!

I'm a Jew

Did my father ever talk about Greece during the war?

About someone the family protected?

Did he mention a boy?

A boy? Yes, he talked about a boy

Elias?

I don't remember the name

Could it have been Elias?

I'll tell you everything, but first I need you to help me

How?

There's someone I want you to meet. She's a refugee...

I want you to help her get to Australia

I'll pay you. 5,000 Euros

- Look... I don't know - I've got a passport for her...

...all you have to do is accompany her!

So, how did he die?

In his car...

There was an accident. He went into the back of a truck

- An accident? - Yeah

This is Amina. Amina... Isaac. The man I was telling you about

Here... stay here, with Amina. Look after her.

You can come for dinner, at our house tonight.

Amina will show you how to get there.

Don't touch her! Don't lay a hand onto her!

- Coffee? - Sure. Thanks.

Please!

Is this your first time in Paris?

This is my first time in Europe

Thanks

Did Gerry tell you about my situation?

He said you're a refugee

He didn't tell you I'm pregnant?

No

Well... he has told me about your father

They were in the (Communist) Party together

They were the real, true radicals, he said

Yeah, it sounds like him

He's dead now... your father?

He died recently, yeah.

I'm very sorry

I wonder what your father would think of Paris these days

He's my friend. He's gonna help me go to Australia

You look worried

I guess I am

Why?

I don't know. I came here to put my dad to rest... in peace

- And it didn't happen? - Not at all!

There is this story... Gerry knows it

Some Jewish boy... and my dad apparently...

.. had some kind of curse

Maybe he did!

You believe that stuff?

- I see it. Again and again - See what?

When innocent blood is spilled, the hate attaches to the guilty

Come on!

Are you making fun of me?

No, I'm not making fun of you, I just think it sounds like an excuse for revenge

Oh! Ask the Jews about using excuse for revenge...

- The Jews? - Isn't that what they do?

Spill blood as an excuse for revenge at Palestinians?

What are you talking about?

- The Holocaust - Yeah?

It shouldn't be used to make others suffer

- I didn't say that it should... - But Israel does!

They do what ever they want to people, all because of the Holocaust

For Jews it's part of their culture

Christ died in their hands

- You don't believe that crap! - It's written in your Bible!

But... that's just bullshit!

They murdered children for their rituals!

They cooked them and ate them! Christian children!

For fuck's sake! It's like saying that all Moslems are terrorists!

The Jews... they think they're so special!

Are you laughing at me?

Yeah, I'm laughing at you because I think you're fucking insane

Who are you to laugh at me?

Good morning Sir, Madam!

Good morning

Is everything alright madam?

Just fine. We're just having a bit of a disagreement. We're OK.

Your ID cards, please?

Sorry, I don't speak french

Papers please!

- Yes, yes - Yes

Here you are

Catch her!

Isaac, help me!

Good evening

I'm Isaac Raftis

Vasilis' son. Gerry asked me to come

Isaac! Come in please.

Amina? How she is? She's alright?

Yeah

Doesn't he remind you of Vasili, Leah?

It's been a long time since I've seen Vasili

- How is he? - Dead...

How?

A car accident

Too close to a truck

So, you knew my father too?

I did

When he was in Paris?

- Yes - He was deeply involved in the movement

He left Greece because of the fascists

Is that what he told you?

Why do you think he left?

He left Greece to escape the past and then...

...he left Paris because the past caught up with him

What was he escaping in his past?

Himself

But no one escapes himself today ... even in the end

- What do you mean? - Well...

You father killed himself, didn't he?

Where's your bathroom?

This bitch betrayed us! She betrayed Amina!

- So you sent her to hell! - That factory belongs to me too!

I was helping her get away. She was leaving with Isaac to Australia!

Run and chase you fucking Moslem whore?

You won't be back...

You said you'd come back...

Why didn't you help me?

Elias!

Yosef...?

Hello?

- It's me... - Where are you?

- I've been in Paris, with Gerry - Who?

You know... dad's old comrade. He emailed me

- Gerry is dead, isn't he? - No mom...

...I was just at his house. He was there with his wife, Leah

- Leah was there? - Mom...?

- ... I'm going to Budapest - Isaac, come home!

No mom. I haven't seen Niko in years

Isaac, you need to stay away from your brother!

- What happened to Elias? - What?

Elias, mom. What happened to Elias? The boy?

What boy?

You know whom I'm talking about!

You can't help the past now.

Niko?

Niko?

Niko?

For fuck's sake!

Isaac...

Why would you do that for?

You weren't at the station!

Yeah

How long have you been using for? I thought you'd given up...

Just since dad...

What the fuck are you doing here?

What you...? I've been leaving messages!

When would you fucking call me back?

I didn't want to.

I need to talk to you

Yeah, I can see that

Christ... Niko!

Did you talk to him before he died?

Yeah

What did he say?

He said I was a good son

What a cunt!

I don't know what is happening to me Niko

You're in the right place...

What's wrong?

There's this boy...

I keep seeing him... it's the same boy

that I met in Athens, a refugee boy

Yeah...

Everywhere I go, there he is.

- That's because he's everywhere - What?

Boys like that, they're everywhere. That's you!

A continent of lost souls

Have you taken any good photos on your trip?

- I'm not doing that anymore - Why not? You're fucking good at it

I think dad may have killed himself

I guess he had his demons

Dad helped the Jewish boy during the war!

His name was Elias

Elias...

Something happened to him. Something terrible...

- Do you believe in curses? - No

And neither do you!

Wanna go for a drink?

Yeah

My boss King Kike is having some people over.

- Kike? (=racial slur for a Jew) - That's what he calls himself

- You have a problem with that? - No

Beautiful Budapest, huh?

So, how's your trip been?

It's been interesting

- I've learned a lot - Really? What about?

About you... about my family...

Your family?

What did you learn about your family?

There was a boy...

A Jewish boy?

Elias? Wasn't that his name?

- Did Niko tell you that? - Of course he did

Everyone tell me these stories. Everyone has one...

They all come to work for the Jew...

...and they all tell me the stories of their families...

...of the poor little Jewish boys and girls...

It's all bullshit

No one really protected the Jews

My whole family was taken to the camps...

...and now, all these years later, I live here and I thrive here.

Ironic, isn't it?

I don't believe you!

You know about Elias!

What's that?

Welcome to my office

Christ! Niko!

It's not for much longer. Sit! Fuck him!

I'm paying off the day

What the fuck has happened to you?

Fuck you, you self-righteous little shit! I didn't ask you to come here!

Fuck you, go home!

Go home and tell mom she's right about the whole fucking curse and...

...Niko is a junkie and porn-rich and well.

- Fuck you! - Fuck you!

It would kill her if I told her the truth

Why don't you? You killed dad by coming to Europe!

What?

You don't understand anything, do you? You're such a fucking baby!

Where were you when dad died, huh?

Where the fuck were you?

You think our father was so noble! The great Vasilis fucking Raftis!

He was a murderer!

He killed that boy... Elias.

- Am I supposed to believe that? - It's the fucking truth

Dad wasn't even old enough at the time

Yeah, he was. It was right at the end of the war.

Bullshit!

Our family was supposed to look after him

They promised his father they would. They even took money for him

They hid him in the basement of the old church and... then...

...they betrayed him

That wasn't dad. Dad wouldn't take any money!

No?

He took him food though, that was his job, taking scraps and eggs and shit...

And one day he stopped! Do you know why he stopped?

Because our great, sanctified, grandmother Lucia...

...molested the little boy and then fucked him

She was supposed to be looking after him and she fucked him

Dad was sorry, but he didn't do anything about it. Fucking nothing!

He stopped taking him food... he didn't go see him...

...he didn't tell anybody anything...

What he did was wait for weeks...

...untill he was sure that boy would be dead

He climbed down inside that church...

It stunk of vomit, shit and blood.

And there was Elias. Lying there like a skeleton

He'd eaten the moss of the bricks and the soil from the ground.

He was still alive!

And dad picked up a rock and smashed it into his skull...

He hit him again and again!

And Elias cursed him, sworn that he would haunt him for ever.

Him and his sons... and his sons' sons!

The fucking past

All this shit! Fucking Europe!

Don't you wish some time that not one Jew...?

...ever walked the face of the Earth?

Niko, this is for you darling

This one?

You like him?

Just arrived. Very fresh!

I'll pay you what ever you want

Good choice!

Come with me

Elias?

You're Elias?

Help me!

She's not my mother You said you'll come back

Help me!

Why didn't you help me?

Why didn't you help me?

Why didn't you help me?!

You!

I'm gonna kill you!

I'm gonna tear you apart, you fucking piece of shit!

Please...

Don't hurt me...

Please...

You can help me...

Please...

Help me please!

Please help me!

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...
