Original subtitles

Kenza?

Yes.

What's your family name?

What's your father's name?

How old are you?

I'm 2 years old.

Two...

You're not two...

Jolie!

Bring the warm water.

Thank you so much.

Should I add more? – No, it's okay.

When you were on the boat,

who was with you?

You go to school?

What's it called, your school?

I'll get going, if you don't need anything.

Thanks.

When we flipped over.

The boat flipped over? – Yeah.

The ground broke.

Yeah. It broke.

Uncle. – What about him?

He took knives. From the house.

He put them in his pocket.

He threw the knives at people.

Was it before the boat flipped over?

It flipped over then they hit their heads.

In the water? – Yeah.

It was a little broken then it all broke.

And you?

No, I didn't hit my head.

When the boat sank,

I climbed up here.

The man with the knives.

What did he do? – He wasn't there.

Wasn't he on the boat?

He fell in the water.

He fell too? – Yeah.

Everyone fell.

When we were on the boat.

Someone's foot got cut off.

We're going to take care of you.

I don't want you to.

What if she wakes up?

It's alright.

She's still sleeping.

What's the plan?

Why are you asking?

I'm asking Marie.

Still...

Until we find a solution...

And if we find nothing?

What's wrong?

Marie, you know, with my classes.

I'm not sure if...

After classes, you take care of her.

We'll take turns.

Why the long face?

I have time, I can take her to the fair.

I have time.

Miss Education, look at it overflowing.

The pipes.

Landlord doesn't care. You do it.

I want to be an engineer not a plumber.

Engineer or plumber, same thing.

What does it mean? – It means pretty.

Very pretty.

Let me see the other texts. – No...

I only asked about this one.

Show me.

The rest is in French, I get it.

When is he inviting us? – He's not inviting us.

Why ask about his Arabic message then?

Tell him "anti labess".

What does it mean?

"Anti labess" means "How are you?"

"How's it going?"

I want to make him wait.

That's how we do it.

You wanna play hard to get.

That's normal.

Otherwise, he won't respect me.

I've seen one night stands get married.

At your rate, you're all growing old alone.

Does he have money?

He has a brain.

A brain?

So other men don't have brains.

Some don't.

Many don't.

Just thinking about it.

It brings back some...

incredible memories.

Stop it.

I think my dress is too short.

That's why I keep getting looks.

Don't mind them.

He's my type of man, that guy...

He just looked at me.

Go talk to him.

Women make the first move in 2024.

Even the woman had eyes for me!

Mind your phone.

Watch out.

Hey, girl!

3 dinars.

Put it back, it's expensive.

Your dad sends money to Marie?

Yeah, but I don't know how much. – Ask him.

It's not much. He's not a billionaire.

You like pricey things.

You think he's the president.

If he was, I wouldn't be here with you.

Me neither, if I knew my dad.

This girl, honestly.

I'm joking. Sorry.

It's true, you like pricey things.

Don't fight, it's a bag of sugar per person.

Relax, we will bring more.

Drop it.

Are you crazy?

I'm more polite than you.

She left without paying.

You paid for that? – Yes, I did.

The old lady didn't pay.

You want sugar? Here, take it!

What a waste.

You, come here.

But we didn't pay...

But it's important to say

that often,

the reactions of these nations,

as harmful as they are.

Are a consequence of European pressure.

They don't want immigrants coming to them.

They put pressure on these countries...

Hi. – Thank you for this seminar.

Can I borrow her for a second?

Sure, but not for long.

I don't like being alone too long.

Excuse me, Noa. – Okay, see you.

Who is this?

You're here?

How are you, Noa? You're good?

Aminata!

You disappeared. – It's Marie now.

Heard you're going by Marie, now.

But don't expect me to call you Marie.

I'll wait.

You have to pray for it.

What's your color today, tell me.

Guess.

Since you like blue...

We'll go with blue, yeah?

You're the one in blue, today.

Okay, then rose-colored?

Exactly.

As they say, gotta appreciate the roses.

I want you...

to enlighten me.

Like a streetlamp?

In the case of kids... – It's for work?

Yeah, a consultation.

It's an urgent case. – Ok.

There's more and more every day.

Kids rescued from sinking incidents.

We can't find their family

or their citizenship.

They asked me to take on a case.

A little girl with no family.

We have nothing on her.

Should we let her stay with the community?

Should I give her to the authorities?

That's the question.

Aminata.

What have you gotten yourself into?

The procedure is the same for everyone.

You bring the kid to the authorities.

You trust them?

Yes and no. That's not the issue here.

That's not the question Aminata.

I'm very serious.

Those who have this child

must take her to the authorities.

They can't keep her.

The child is a ward of Tunisia.

Is she with you or the Faithfuls?

No, I was... asked to look into it,

so that's what I'm doing.

As a journalist, your case interests me.

I'm not bringing you an article idea.

Just here for my lights.

Yes, I got my answers...

It's not our lucky day.

Here's another taxi.

Bald jerk.

He's not taking us.

The woman has a headscarf.

He won't take us.

He'll give us an earful. Let it go.

She's not listening.

Taxi! Taxi!

I told you.

Didn't I tell you? I know them.

You can't go in like that.

Marie is going to kill you. – Sorry, Madame.

Hallelujah. – Amen.

You are blessed.

Amen.

Give me a true Amen.

Give me your Amen.

When God said to Abraham,

"Leave your father's house.

"Leave your nation.

"Go, to where I will bless you."

Abraham stood.

"You don't know why you're here."

"But I know You have a plan for me."

"It is not for me to perish at sea.

"Not for me to drown.

"It's so that Your name is honored.

"So that Your name is..."

Honored!

Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.

Don't let anybody call you worthless.

Your life has a divine purpose.

You've come here.

To take your chance.

Every day is a fight.

Back home, they don't know what you go through.

You've made a family here.

You've found support.

Sometimes you doubt.

You think things aren't working out.

But God has a plan.

He has a plan for you.

You are God's gift.

You are all God's gifts.

You are God's gifts.

Hallelujah.

If God has put

A dream in your heart

Write it down,

Keep it as a treasure

No matter what is said

Protect the vision

With passion

When you know

Deep down

That this dream

Doesn't come from within

Even though

You see the opposite

Persevere

Persevere

Because His words

Will come true

It's too busy, too noisy. – Baba, even the pipeline.

They're leaving like ants.

It's not my problem. – Not your problem?

It stinks everywhere. Go file a complaint.

Nothing is ever your problem.

Baba, look. Even the door doesn't close.

It's nothing. Not a big deal.

It's a whole lot of small deals.

I'll grease it.

Some grease and it's good.

The house is old.

Can't handle this crowd.

What do you mean, this crowd?

Neighbors are complaining.

Listen, speak French.

Okay, what do you want?

And electricity? We can only

charge our phones downstairs.

Baba, this isn't right.

You also need to make an effort.

Gotta keep the place clean.

Can't overuse the toilet flush.

You break it, you pay for it.

It's not right what you're doing.

To collect rent, you're here. Chill.

Obviously! You want me to do charity?

Have some respect. – I'm being respectful.

Naney! It's okay. Hello, Mr. Ismael.

Hello. – You good?

It's ok.

Here you go.

Everything's here.

Take the kitten.

Hello. What's his name?

Chakchouka.

You're pretty Chakchouka.

I'll count it at home.

All good? – I trust you.

Plus, there's a kid now.

Dad, if you send me the money directly,

I can use it to pay for a cheap student room.

There, I could focus.

Because you know,

I gotta work double to absorb the lessons.

Classes are supposed to be in French,

but many teachers opt for Arabic.

At times, I'm lost and then

I have to go to other students

so they can explain it to me.

If I was with them at the dorms,

it'd be easier.

Dad. – Yeah?

You can't tell Marie I'm uneasy here.

Of course not, what would she think of you then?

I'm being a bit blunt,

but you are safe with Marie.

What do you think is going to happen to me?

You are 6000 kilometers away.

In a country that hunts down sub-Saharans.

It's what they say on TV.

Not very reassuring.

Don't worry. It's only for those here illegally.

I have my student card and all.

So I won't have any issues.

Hello. – I'm here on behalf of Mari.

Excuse me.

Have you seen this kid before, know her parents?

No. Never seen her.

Okay, thanks.

See you Sunday.

Thank you.

Marie told me to give you this.

Thank you so much.

Wait, do you know this girl?

No, don't know her.

Okay, see you Sunday.

What's up. – Marie sent me for...

Diapers for the baby girl. – Thank you.

Thank you.

How much did you spend yesterday?

Foued, stop, you're always talking about money.

I'm the one giving you money.

Why ask how much I spent?

You're always broke and you don't think.

I do all the work. You just take the money.

You're the boss.

It's not funny, you never do anything.

I solve all your problems.

Listen. There's a guy who owes me 200 euros.

That's 700 dinars.

I know where he lives, so here's what we'll do.

You are going to pretend to be a cop.

Listen well.

Wear your sunglasses.

Take the phone.

Where's the walkie-talkie?

You do this with the car keys.

You say: "Hello, sir. Are you Touré?"

He'll say yes.

When he does, you say:

"Roger, I'm at the apartment."

You ask: "Do you know Naney?"

He'll say yes. "I tried to reach you yesterday.

"You didn't pick up so I'm here.

"So, you owe 200 euros.

"Get dressed. We're going to the police station."

He'll get scared.

Then, he'll give you the money.

There is no risk of him calling the police

as he is undocumented.

He can't complain to the police.

Exactly, he's cornered.

I'll show you.

It's not convincing in French, I'll do it in Arabic.

"Hello, Mr. Touré.

"Welcome, you're requested at the police station."

What do you mean "welcome"?

He lives here, he'll get it.

Who gives a shit, do not welcome him!

"Give me your residency permit."

There we go.

Colleague.

Don't worry.

You're Tunisian and can't play a cop!

Foued, the sunglasses.

The embassy is doing

a census on voluntary returns.

With the crisis in this country, things are bad.

It's chaos.

Try to sign up.

Look here.

People are already signing up.

I helped a lot of people.

The embassy will provide free buses to the airport.

Everything is free.

I'm not interested, I don't believe in this.

It's free. I can help you sign up.

I'm not here to go back.

I'm here to go forward.

We'll keep in touch.

You have my number.

I'll call you.

Who is he? – All good?

No, he had a residency permit!

What do you mean? – He really does.

Did you see the permit? – No, but he has it.

Lord, how can you believe without seeing?

I'm not taking risks.

Let's think of something else.

I can't count on you to solve one problem.

Let's find something else.

I don't like these scams.

Last time, there was a line for sugar.

I can bring 100 or 200 kilos of sugar.

I'll get it from Ivory Coast.

We'll make money, you know someone in customs?

You got a boat?

I'm not walking around

with 3 kilos of sugar to sell.

Think of something else.

Like what?

You know the underground bars.

The maquis? – Yes.

I know a friend who sells alcohol illegally.

We can sell it to them.

We'll scam them.

Sugar, like I'm a local grocer?!

We'll keep the alcohol at your house.

No, you keep it.

Keep it at your house.

It's risky with Marie there.

Figure it out.

There's something bothering me.

I worry a lot about my savings.

My savings over the last three years.

I have an issue.

I don't know where to keep this money.

Your fellow brothers and sisters

also come to me to keep their money.

I know that you can't open bank accounts.

I'll do it.

But I can't keep the money for too long.

This may cause confusion.

No problem.

Here's 3000 dinars.

You can count it.

They're my savings...

Don't worry.

I'll write your name and the date.

I'll keep it for two months.

See you on Sunday, Eric, thanks.

Hi!

What a surprise!

Pastor Audrey!

What a surprise!

You look beautiful!

You're looking good.

Bless your heart.

How are you?

It's been too long.

Tell me my dear.

You know things aren't that easy.

I didn't have problems.

My rent was paid. Regularly. Sometimes in advance.

One day he tells me: "The police patrol a lot.

"You don't have a permit for your sermons."

I said, "Sure. But I've been doing it for a decade.

"For the benefit of our community."

We're not doing anything wrong, but...

Then one Sunday morning,

I found locks on the doors.

I'd already felt signs from the Lord.

I'd seen it in my dreams.

I don't wish on you

what's happening to our people.

But be careful.

They should focus on those who gather in bars,

alcohol traffic and prostitutes.

Rather than the people who pray.

I agree. But don't forget.

God asked Joseph

to take Mary and her child Jesus

and take refuge,

to hide in Egypt.

I'm here to tell you to hide, for a little.

Pretend you're in Egypt.

Just for a while.

Four dinars the dress.

No, it's too big.

Look at this.

You want it? – Ok.

You want this?

That?

This one? – Yes.

But it's too big. – Oh okay.

This one's fine.

I want this one. – Yeah?

Put it like this, so no one takes it.

We'll look some more.

How much? – It's yours.

Come Kenza, uncle Foued's waiting.

Careful.

Hold on.

Let's go.

And your daughter?

My daughter? Who told you I had one?

She is not in the house? – No.

Where's her house?

It's far.

You're like my daughter, now.

Understand? There, all done.

Wait. I'll check if they're home. Kenza!

Goddamn it.

Keep it down!

Hurry up!

Kenza, come on.

I'm coming.

Go, go.

Go see if Marie and Jolie are here.

Hello?

I have to call someone.

Hello?

Who are you calling?

I'm calling mommy, she's not picking up.

You know.

Just because someone doesn't pick up.

Doesn't mean they don't think of you.

Okay?

God bless you. – Amen.

Who's new here?

Raise your hands.

Andrea and Kevin, welcome to

our Church of Perseverance.

I'm expecting you at the church service.

Let the match begin.

Over here!

Whose side are you on?

Amen! Bless you.

Mother Pastor!

How are you?

This is my friend, Naney.

Party's already started.

What's happening? How's it going?

Hello. – Hi.

What's your name? – Naney.

I'm Ricardo. Nice to meet you.

What major?

What?

You're a student?

What's your major?

Business.

Welcome. – Thanks.

Civil Engineering or Electromechanics?

Civil Engineering.

Bridges and roads or structure? – Structure.

You found an internship? – Not yet.

Looking for a hydraulic dam. But it's not easy.

I'm looking too, still no luck.

It's pineapple juice.

Natural? – Yeah.

It's juice from a box.

You've ever seen fresh juice here?

Fresh is when you squeeze the orange.

Ifriqiya was Tunisia's name.

You didn't know?

That's where the name Africa comes from.

Hi, baby. How are you?

I'm fine.

You got pimples on your face.

Why is that?

I don't know.

They bother me.

Puberty pimples.

What's new?

You're alone?

I'm alone.

Did you sleep well?

Yes.

You did?

OK, so what's new?

How's school?

How is school going?

It's fine, except for History.

History? You have to read.

Problem with History-Geography, is reading.

You have to read to learn.

To understand. – Yes mom.

I have to go. My battery is low.

How low?

It's at ten.

Ten percent? Well, OK.

You've grown, Nemy.

You know that?

Don't laugh.

I'm not your friend.

I'm your mom, you have to listen.

So, you've grown.

Vanessa told me you got your period.

I worry, you have to avoid certain things.

You understand?

I don't know how to say it.

I'll say it plainly so you understand.

You've got breasts and a butt.

So you have to be careful.

You hear me?

The bad crowds.

You finish school, you go home.

Don't stay with... boys and your TikTok things.

You'll get a tutor at home.

I'll sign you up for karate.

Or swimming, you choose.

Understand?

Baby, your phone is running out of battery.

I'll see to it that you come here for Christmas.

We'll spend it together.

Yeah, yeah.

You always promise that but it never happens.

How are you going to find the money?

I'll get it.

Why are you crying?

Because...

You can't get it.

Can't help it. Three years apart, it's...

It's a lot.

It's hard, I know you need me.

It's not easy.

I don't have the words for how much I miss you.

You got any news? About Kenza?

No.

We need to go to the embassy.

Her accent sounds Ivorian.

She must be Ivorian.

An accent can't prove a citizenship.

I couldn't withdraw from Western Union.

Why not?

They need a residency permit.

Mine is getting renewed.

Marie, I told you to get a prepaid card.

But you don't want to.

Your weird cards?

Naney, I'm warning you,

I don't want trouble in my home.

You know the police

already patrol around the church.

Here, put it in. – Wedge it.

Hold it, it's broken.

It's heavy, what's inside?

Here's what you ordered.

Be careful.

Most important, the bride's request.

Mother!

Coming.

Weaves for the bride.

You got the peanut butter?

You asked for three bags.

I'll give you 200 dinars.

When the bride takes her stuff, I'll call you.

No... 600.

We've done business together before.

You'll get your money.

Tomorrow, I'll call you.

My friend... – Not friends like this...

I offer you a drink. A beer.

Friends forever!

Here, for you.

A fresh one.

Tell me,

you're not changing the decor?

That's my alibi.

If the police come, I say it's a birthday.

No alcohol sales. – You got it handled.

Gotta make do. – Friends forever.

Tactics forever.

See you. – Okay.

Friends forever.

Keep in touch.

I'll call you in two days. – Okay.

Hello. – What's up?

What's up? It's busy in there.

Those are our bottles.

They're ours!

No, wait, stop.

Stop, stop.

I work my ass off picking them up!

Give the bottles back.

Stop, let him go.

Stop it.

Throw the knife!

He has a knife.

Why are you stealing their bottles?

Look! – Look where?

You want to kill them? Go to jail?

Calm down! You're crazy!

They're in their country, leave them.

They have knives. – Knives don't scare me.

I used to be like you on the streets.

Where are your shoes?

Give him his shoes back.

Police! Run.

People are getting arrested.

Arbitrary arrests.

Dozens in custody.

She is still in shock...

But she has the courage to talk.

Marie, I'm leaving you

a message to let you know,

this evening pastors were arrested.

Others disappeared.

They were accused of trafficking

and organising crossings of the Mediterranean.

Please be very careful.

Shalom.

Here, let me help.

It's messed up.

Hold on.

There.

Count the money. – What?

Count the money. How much did you tip?

I was too drunk to remember.

20 dinars for a tip? We're not rich.

How much do you have left?

What have you got? – 600 millimes.

You want them? – No, stop.

And you? – 20 dinars.

Only this much? We're sharing.

No, I can't.

There's a boat, we can go.

It's too far.

I'm tired. We sleep then we'll catch it.

Foued. – What?

Why did you get divorced?

Why did you leave Europe?

I was never married.

Don't you have a wife and daughter?

I was never married.

Well...

Anyway, none of my business.

I wonder if I'm a good mother.

You'll be a great mother.

"Will"?

You don't see her now, but you will one day.

It's not the same for me.

It's too much.

There's the distance.

How to raise a kid?

I wonder if... If she'll get it, one day.

If she's happy or not.

I don't know. It's many things.

You'll get the chance to see her.

I only have one picture.

You've never seen it.

She's beautiful.

Her 16th birthday was six months ago.

Six months ago.

I didn't raise her.

Distance kills love.

No.

I swear.

Before I preach, I wanted to say:

No one will ever dethrone Him.

Before I preach,

I want to tell someone:

No one will ever dethrone Him.

A year of growth.

A year of light.

People will ask:

"How did she do it?

"To get so far in life.

"What's her secret?"

You're at the right place.

You seek He who fails not.

He who never fails.

The king of kings, forever.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

I declare a year

of growth.

A year of progress.

A year of light shined on you.

Today, you can tell the person next to you:

"This is the beginning."

This year, you'll testify in my place.

Amen.

Hello, Mr. Ismael.

Hey. – How are you?

Good.

I came to tell you...

You're just in time, look at this.

Take a look.

Yeah, I'm aware.

It's overflowing. – I'm aware of it.

I tried fixing it,

but the joints are old.

They need repairing.

Just gotta buy new ones.

I'll look into it. – Okay.

Joints are expensive?

No.

Around ten dinars.

Okay.

You're baking a cake?

Yeah.

An African cake?

Are you not African?

A friend taught me this recipe.

Mom used to make nice cakes too.

May she rest in peace.

After her passing, we opened a restaurant.

It went well.

For three months, then...

There were issues.

And our lease agreement?

That's why I'm here. It's not possible.

Why not? – They don't want that.

Who's they?

They want you all gone.

You know Tunisia,

it's messy then things calm down.

I pay my rent.

On time. We never had issues.

I don't have an issue.

So give me the lease, it's easy.

If you were Tunisian, it would be easy.

You have to wait.

I'm very patient.

You want some chocolate?

No, thanks. – My hands are clean.

I have diabetes. – Diabetes?

Yeah.

Explains the issue with your eyes?

Yeah.

You can count on me.

Thank you. – I'll look into the joints.

I'll fix them.

Okay.

Gotta blow your candles. – Jolie, come.

You complain too much.

It's my birthday today.

You guys decorated all this.

Wait.

Make a wish.

Amen.

You have to blow.

It's you who should blow.

We will share the wish.

Can I look? – Yeah, open your eyes.

What's this? A toy for Kenza?

It's for you.

I promised you.

Since you don't have a driving licence.

Here's the throttle. – Hold this.

Thanks Foued. – Go.

Slow down.

No, don't want to.

You want to slow down my life!

You can't even drive!

Enough!

Wait for me.

Look, you almost fell.

Why did you brake? – I'm too big.

Hurry up, it's almost dark.

We have to give it back.

I'm serious, we have to give it back.

I'm serious.

What? – I rented it for an hour.

You're not serious. You said it was for me.

Yeah, to have fun with. I can't give it to you.

I don't have enough money for it.

Let's just have fun.

It's almost dark.

You're not serious. Now, I want to own one.

Now, I'm stuttering.

I'll buy you ice cream and a beer, later.

Please. – No.

Let's not fight.

You should've told me from the beginning.

You do this on my birthday?

You wheel and deal even on my birthday.

I wanted to please you.

Don't need you to please me! Where's the car?

Okay.

You good over there?

Hang up, I'll call you back. Someone's coming.

I'll call you back.

People from Sub-Saharan Africa

have been seized by the Tunisian police.

Around 80 of them are in custody.

There are arrests.

We're seeing the police

taking people from their own homes.

As well as from the streets.

Usually without proper cause.

All under the guise of regular police checks.

180 people are to be interrogated.

Between 300 and 250 people have been arrested.

Others were released.

We're truly afraid.

They ate my neighbor's three cats.

They're selling cats for 400 dinars.

They're eating them.

Tell us how they ate your cat.

They ate my neighbor's three cats.

Oh my God, Lord protect us.

Even if we did, we'd not be eating

that type of cats. Full of fat.

Who are you talking to?

White people say we eat cats.

Do you eat cats?

I'll eat you.

Kenza!

I'm hungry!

Go with your mom.

You don't have issues, you're not like me here.

I don't have issues?

You have a student card,

you're recognised by the state.

The video you showed us.

The girl was walking down the street,

five Tunisians beat her up.

You think they asked for her papers first?

I'm waiting for the right moment.

They'll call me, say the boat is ready.

I'll leave you to your corner.

They won't do anything to you.

It's written.

"When two or three people meet in my name.

"I shall be there

"amongst them."

You know I cherish my spiritual duty.

You know I cherish you, my team.

Without you, there's no church.

Given the safety concerns,

I wanted to know

your thoughts on it. You...

my team.

Because of all that

I lost members of my choir.

They were my friends.

It makes me sad.

Just to be safe,

I suggest that we meet online.

On the internet.

What do you think?

Since these assemblies are banned,

I think

it's a good idea.

We must be wise,

I am close to you, yet still afraid.

I think this will work for us.

Before switching to the internet,

let us have one last sermon, here.

Hello. – Hello.

Is Marie here? – She's with the Faithfuls.

What Faithfuls? – Of the church.

The church...

You know the police investigate churches now, right?

The police investigate everything.

Always chasing down Africans.

I'm sick of it.

In my old age, they question me about churches.

I'd never been to a police station before.

It's not a church here, it's a house...

We live here.

Who's the girl? – My daughter.

Does she have her papers? – She has a gift for you.

And her papers? Birth certificate, passport.

She has it all, how do you think she came here?

Kenza, you have your documents right? – Yeah.

This is useless. I'll talk to Marie.

I'll take another pine cone to give him.

Don't, he's not nice.

What's the problem? – I rented you the house,

thinking it was a good thing.

Yet here I am, risking my life.

I risk prison and abuse.

It's propaganda.

You're not at risk.

You have a good heart, not like them.

You have a very good heart.

Good evening.

Which cotton candy color you want? Blue or pink?

Blue. – Blue?

Like your dress.

How much? – 2 dinars.

How do you get up here?

Kenza, it looks dangerous.

It goes like this.

Look at the babies.

How did they get up there?

Hello my friend.

I'm at the park, I don't see you.

I'm here too. I can't see you.

Friend.

Wait, Kenza. Don't fall.

Come down.

My friend!

Hey, friend. – You got it?

I'll get it tonight and send it to you.

Or I'll call first thing tomorrow.

I need the money to sign you up

for the next crossing.

No worries. – Then it's over and done with.

You are going with your kid?

You'd better go with her.

With a kid, it's easier when you get there.

Especially a kid her age. We will share the wish.

I just need the money.

Then I'll get you on the next boat.

Thank you so much, friend.

Kenza.

Sit here.

I'll ruin my dress. – No you're good.

Kenza. We're going to leave together. – Yeah.

Give me a hug.

Who is it? – It's Naney.

What's up?

Where's the Mother? – On the balcony.

Friends forever.

Hey you, how are you?

I wasn't expecting you.

I've been calling you.

My phone is broken.

So that's how it is...

I'm here to get what you owe me.

Business is slow.

It's not working.

Since you were last here,

I sold nothing of your stuff.

It's all untouched.

You didn't say that. I need money.

I need to bring my daughter.

Not sure if I bring her, or cross the sea.

You gotta understand.

Don't get angry over money.

I'm not angry, I need money.

You gotta understand too.

When you took the things, you said nothing.

If you had, fine, but you didn't.

I didn't call you because business was bad.

I can't wait for your clients to pay you.

I warned you.

What do you want? – I need the money.

I don't have it.

You can't be serious.

I don't have it.

Calm down. – I am calm.

You can't go in debt, if you don't have money.

I have neighbors. – I don't care.

I came here to get my money.

Not giving you anything. – You're not?

No, I think you are. – No.

I'll get it myself. – Ah no.

Security. – Calm down.

I'm calling the cops. – What did you say?

I said calm down.

Calm down!

For the last time.

Mother, should I throw her out?

Let me go, I'm calling the cops.

Kick her out, she attacked me.

Don't forget her purse.

Here, so she can't call me a thief.

Take her purse. Give it to her.

Or she'll claim she had a fortune inside.

God! Marie.

Fun night?

It's yours, yeah?

Or did it spawn here?

I want to know if it's yours.

Yes or no?

Yeah.

Give me your keys.

Give me your keys.

I'm sorry.

You want to get me into trouble?

You want to link me to trafficking?

Don't I have enough problems?

After everything I did for you.

Take your things and leave.

It swallowed my card?

Card's not coming out.

It says zero balance, and the card is stuck.

What?

Speak your mind, don't hold it in.

It's nothing.

I'm always carrying around things I don't need.

What do you need?

Exactly, I don't have to tell you.

I'm 24 years old.

I need money.

To buy things, without asking for permission.

Your dad sends me money,

so I can take care of you.

Is that why you haven't kicked me out like Naney?

Because he sends you money?

Bet that's why you treat your Faithfuls well too.

What are you saying?

You're always preaching compassion.

Love.

Forgiveness.

Just as God forgives our sins.

Everyone turned their backs on us.

All we have left is one another.

But the moment we needed you the most,

she needed you the most, you kicked her out.

You wanna know how Naney saw you?

How she talked about you?

How much she admired you?

You only think of yourself.

What others think of you.

You'll see.

You'll grow up. You'll mature.

You'll understand the nuance of things.

You know what, I'm done.

Jolie.

Jolie.

Get her in.

We'll talk at the station. – What did I do?

Get her in, we need fingerprints.

My card is in my bag!

Get in.

Go, go.

Open!

Open your mouth.

Jolie Amo? – Yes.

Stand up.

Up.

I can't stand up.

What are you doing in Tunisia?

What are you doing in Tunisia?

I'm a student.

A student...

Sign here.

Do you have it in French? – Sign it.

What's this document?

It's standard procedure.

Sign it!

I don't understand what it says.

Are you going to sign it or not?

We're telling you to sign.

You're not signing? Leave.

We're not wasting the whole day on this.

This is a mistake, I'm Tunisian. – Shut up!

What am I doing here? – Shut up.

I'm Tunisian.

Get inside.

Can you just listen. – I don't want to hear it.

When it's your turn, show your papers. Shut up.

Foued.

Foued.

Hey. – What are you doing here?

I've been trying to reach you.

I'm in deep shit. – Where are you going to go?

What do you mean?

You can't stay with friends?

I don't have friends, you're my only friend.

What do you want me to do?

I don't live alone.

Don't you understand the situation?

If I had my own house, you think

I'd say no? I would've said yes.

But I swear I can't.

Stay, let's talk about it. We can figure it out.

Police are here.

I know how to draw a pretty face.

What's wrong?

What's wrong? – Nothing.

Here.

For you.

Thanks.

You're going to stay here?

Not gonna go out?

To go where?

What do you mean?

To do what you need to do.

Can I ask you a question?

Just one question.

Can we share the fruit?

I want the plums.

Some grapes.

See, you kept it to yourself.

You remind me of someone.

Who?

Who?

Aminata.

Her name was Aminata.

Quick, quick.

I'm scared!

Don't be afraid. I'm here...

Stand here. There!

See how strong you are.

I have to ask.

A contract with the radio station.

A contract with the radio station?

To broadcast your prayers?

A contract as a journalist.

A journalist?

I need a contract to sort my legal status out.

Okay.

You want a journalist contract to keep the child...

I'd love to help.

But it's complicated.

You think what you're doing

is for the child's interest

or for yourself?

Look at me.

You need to ask yourself that question.

Is it for you

or for the child?

You can't replace a child with another.

You can't replace the child you've lost,

with this child.

I don't doubt

that you can push yourself.

But at some point,

you can't forget that you live in a world

with laws and rules.

This thing that you want,

is it for the child or for you?

I understand.

Sorry for being harsh. – I understand.

Glory

Glory

To the lamb

For He is glorious

Worthy to be praised

The lamb

Is sovereign

We lift up our voices

To praise him

The lamb

Is sovereign

The lamb of God is sovereign

The lamb is sovereign

You came to take me?

No, I can't.

I came to testify.

Testify...Ok.

Give me a hug.

I persevered thanks to Mother Pastor's advice.

Today, I'm married and have a child.

And I thank God.

Amen, amen!

Today, I find myself alone, facing my destiny.

From the beginning

I should've told you...

I'm an orphan of both parents.

So imagine...

Imagine the pain, the rage.

I was forced to do many things.

Things you can expect. Things you can picture,

and things you can't.

When I came to Tunisia,

I thought I was going to work,

make money, bring my daughter here

take care of her.

I've been here for three years,

I don't even have residency.

I don't have documents.

I'm not registered anywhere.

Not even High Commissioner for Refugees.

I tried three times, it didn't work.

I keep thinking God has a plan for me.

When is that plan coming true?

When will I be blessed?

When can I reap the fruit of my perseverance?

When will God do something?

Even though He gives me the breath of life.

I'm not envious of others, I'm not a bad person.

But when will it happen?

You are blessed.

Let's pray...

for Naney.

God be with you.

Wait.

Hello.

Kenza.

Yes.

You're a big girl, now.

Yes.

Listen to me, okay?

I can't keep you at the house.

I'm not allowed to.

I'm taking you to a place where...

Where there are other kids without a family.

They stay with people who take care of them.

Me?

Yes, they're going to take care of you.

I don't know if I will see you again.

You understand?

Kenza.

Kenza, we're here.

Ready to go?

This is the Cameroon bus, Ivory Coast is over there.

Arrived in the middle of the night

A little after midnight

I was already asleep

In two minutes I'm awake

I find myself in chains

No time to breathe

They made the sign of the cross

We were all baptised, baptised

I was promised heaven

In the meantime I'm on Earth

I was promised heaven

In the meantime I'm on Earth

Rowing my boat

They put all the parents

And the children on the other side

We were all lined up

Like in a supermarket

With them to travel

No need to be dressed

They made the sign of the cross

We were all on board, on board

I've been promised heaven

In the meantime I'm on Earth

I was promised heaven

In the meantime I'm on Earth

I was promised heaven

But now I'm on Earth

Rowing my boat

Rowing my boat

PROMISED SKY
