All language subtitles for Adira.2014.English

(whimsical piano music)

- [Adira] Our lives
are much like trees.

They don't propel forward
in linear pattern,

but rather grow in
different directions,

like the roots of a great tree.

Everything can be
found in that tree,

our family, our
memories, our struggles.

Everything connected.

- [Momma] Come darling.

- Move, quickly!

(knocking)

Be strong.

- I love you darling.

(knocking)

(nervous breathing)

(heavy footsteps)

- Is there something
you want to tell me?

Where is the little girl?

Don't worry, we will
find her soon enough.

A Jew-lover is worse than a Jew.

- As soon as we stop, I
want you to get out and run.

- [Poppa] The house
is ready for them

with enough supplies
to last a few days.

- [Ernst] We will be sure
to move them in time.

Thank you, for everything.

- Anything that
we can do to help.

Excuse me.

- You see this?

It's a good luck charm.

Take it.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Good to see you, Mr. Ackerman.

- Thank you, professor.

- [Poppa] I take it
your travels went well?

- [Dieter] Yes, everything
went as planned.

But I must warn you,
there are rumors

of a new checkpoint
near the farm.

- [Poppa] Will
that be a problem?

- [Ernst] It shouldn't be.

We can always take
the long route.

We are running out of time.

We need to get as many
of them away as we can.

- I understand.

Please be careful. Shalom.

Don't worry darling,

they will be safe.

- But what about us poppa?

- Well they will
eventually come after us.

But we are going
to keep you safe.

You have to stay strong.

Hm?

(intense rock music)

(gunfire)

- Now, remember what I told you,

when the truck
stops you run for it

and never look back,

then head east until
you reach a creek.

- [Adira] And then take a look
at my compass and head north.

Once I reach a clearing I
will be on Grandpapa's land.

I know, Poppa.

- (chuckles) Oh my sweet Adira,

beautiful and strong
like your mother.

I need you to listen to me.

Our brothers and sisters will
find you when it is safe,

and we will be reunited.

If not in this life,

then in the holy land.

And I love you so much.

- I love you too Poppa.

I am not worthy of
their sacrifice.

Their blood forever on my hands.

(sad piano music)

I could feel them.

The many displaced
families and children

that passed through here,

that found refuge here.

How much longer do
you think it'll be?

I'm not sure, but
I'd say about a week.

I guess that's not that bad.

No I wouldn't say it is.

So, what do you want to do now?

I'm kind of hungry, aren't you?

A little bit.

Do you want some cheese?

Sure.

This isn't so bad!

I can feel you all around me.

In the breeze, the sun,

like the warmth
of your embraces.

(uplifting choral music)

It's been a week, and still
no one has come for me.

How much longer
will I have to wait?

(banging)

(squeaky pumping)

The days blur together like
a dream, or a nightmare.

I can't wake up.

Momma, Poppa.

(rain falling)

Yeah! Yeah!

(uplifting choral music)

(goat bleating)

I see everything in a new light.

Like it could quench my hunger.

I want to go back to you.

Let me go back.

(soft singing)

(speaking Hebrew)

(wolf howling)

(growling)

(retching)

Out here, I appreciate
so much more.

The creek, the breeze,

the warm sun on my face,

the welcome security of the
memorized words from my books.

I am grateful for
these little things.

(bleating)

Here goat!

Tsk, tsk.

I won't hurt you!

(bleating)

Move.

Move.

Move.

Move!

Momma, poppa.

I carry you with
me wherever I go.

Even though the weight
is heavy on my heart.

I am thinking of you always.

Sometimes I wander,

in hopes of forever being lost.

No one has come for
me, and I feel glad.

I am afraid my will to
live has escaped me.

(solemn piano music)

I thought I would go
peacefully in a dream.

But something always
brought me back.

(low drumming)

Hello?

Hello?

I discovered another house,
about a day's journey West.

Abandoned, yet full of
past life and treasures.

I helped myself.

* With someone like you

* A pal good and true

* I'd like to
leave it all behind

* And go and find

* A place that's known

* To God alone

* Just a spot

* We could call our own

* We'll find perfect peace

* Where joys never cease

* Somewhere beneath
the starry skies

* We'll build a
sweet little nest

* Somewhere in the

(footsteps)

(foreboding music)

- I don't mean you any harm.

I just need some
shelter for a few days.

I saw the fire.

I have food and drink to share.

Consider it a peace offering.

Well, hold on now.

(coughing and retching)

My name is Eric.

How long have you
been hiding here?

I was part of the
35th para-platoon
in the English army.

We landed 5 weeks
ago, into a trap.

I unfortunately landed
in a tree and watched

as my platoon was
taken by the Nazis.

They shot down the majority
of us, and captured the rest.

I'm on my way here.

There is a port here that
is selling a boat ride

to Sweden to the highest bidder.

Sweden has, for the most
part, remained neutral

in this bloody war and
people like you and me

can find refuge there.

This here is going to
win me the boat ride.

Where are you going?

(haunting choral music)

- [Adira] We wandered for hours.

His heavy steps scaring
everything away,

but it was comforting.

For so long I have wandered
these woods by myself.

And now, I carried the
burden of being with someone.

- So, you don't say much, do ya?

(rustling)

(Eric chuckles)

(sighs)

(inquisitive music)

(grunts)

You know, I always enjoyed
a good gag as a boy.

You see, the unsuspecting prey

(whistling)

would trip on the thread.

Huh?

It's also useful in
alerting you of danger.

I'll tell you what.

Let me treat you
to dinner tonight.

It's the least I can do

for having so dreadfully
imposed on you.

- Okay, but on one condition.

We race there!

- Is that your mum and dad?

What's your story?

- My parents and I came
from England to Germany

when they heard our relatives
were being persecuted

by the Nazis.

- Jewish?

- My father fell in
love with my mother

and he converted to
Judaism to be with her.

Using his family name Irvin,
we arrived here undetected.

But it wasn't enough
to be near our family,

my parents felt the calling

to be a part of the resistance.

They could no longer stand by
while friends and neighbors

were being attacked
or taken away,

so they began to harbor
refugees from all over.

Our home was the last stop
on their journey to freedom.

It wasn't long before
the Gestapo found out

and arrested my parents.

That was three years ago.

I am now waiting for
the resistance members

to rescue me when it's safe,

then I will be reunited
with my parents.

- Do you think they
will ever come for you?

- I'm not sure, but my memories

and the hope of being with my
family are all I have left.

I fear that if I leave,
I give up on my family.

- You are very brave.

What is your name?

- Adira.

- What's going on?

(intense drum music)

(singing in German)

(gun fires)

(girl screams)

(gun fires)

(singing in German)

(laughing)

(knocking)

(knocking)

- Momma.

- Come darling!

- [Poppa] Move quickly!

(gunfire and screaming)

(emotional piano music)

- Hey.

Do you want some bread?

What happened?

You ran out of here
like a bat out of hell.

- I though the wait
was finally over.

I thought they
finally came for me.

I hate them.

I hate what the Nazis are doing!

- I'll drink to that.

(Adira coughs)

Hold on now, take it easy,
you're no heavyweight.

(sobbing)

I hope this isn't because
of my heavyweight comment.

- I saw a Nazi soldier kill
two people execution style.

Like he was putting
down two pitiful dogs.

- Sh, sh, sh.

Come here. It's okay.

You're not alone anymore.

Look, there are
things in this world

that we will never comprehend.

(solemn choral music)

(distant German singing)

Something the matter?

- [Adira] Sh.

(low growling)

- We have to get out
of here, it's not safe.

- But they might see
you if you leave now!

- Fine, we leave at midnight.

I can help you get far
enough away from danger.

- I can't.

I must stay and wait or I
will miss the resistance.

- Adira, that is just foolish.

Look, the resistance
is not coming for you.

It's been three years.

Look, I didn't tell
you this before

but there is a bloody
massacre raging out there!

After I cut myself
down from the tree,

I followed the Nazis
to a nearby labor camp

where I watched my
brothers join the ranks

of emaciated corpses.

- I'm sure it was just a
special prison for enemies.

- You're wrong!

I sat by and watched small
children and elder folk

waiting to go into gas chambers.

The bodies stacked
on top of each other

like fire logs along the camp!

Once I tortured myself enough,

I headed east where I met
a fellow whose platoon

had been shot down instantly
upon climbing a hill.

No survivors, except him.

It's times like this I wonder
why The Lord almighty himself

doesn't come down
and serve justice.

Look, your family
is probably dead!

(solemn piano music)

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

- Don't.

(tense drumming music)

(metal clanking)

(sighs)

(metal clanking)

(groans)

(gun fires)

(groans)

(gun fires)

(knocking)

(struggling)

- Stop!

- [Eric] Adira, run!

(struggling)

(gun fires)

- Will you come with me?

I can help you find your family.

You don't have to
be alone anymore.

(uplifting choral music)

- [Older Adira] I never
stopped searching for you.

Even when my life became
full of special moments

and I was inundated with
a loving growing family.

The void was still there,
the overwhelming wonderment

of how and why we couldn't
be together again.

(sighs) You are here now.

But then again, you always were.

I'm coming home.
