First there were the trains.

Then there were the settlers,

and with them, their cities.

Paris, Rome, Barcelona

and Marseille.

They then decided that it was their country.

We, who were there before,

we were put on top of a hill.

A place they called the "Rail".

Why ?

We almost all worked on the tracks.

When Marseille was happy,

everything was fine with the rail.

We did not have much, but it was ours.

Yet when cities have begun to die,

Paris, Rome and Marseille began to worry,

for real.

Gradually, Marseille collapsed

and attacked us.

It was not their land.

Among us,

some wanted to defend themselves.

So ?

Cockroach!

Do not do that !

Say, Tau!

It's for fun.

Go die, Tau!

You talk about a warrior ...

Tau, are you throwing pebbles?

That's enough.

Let's go.

The only change will be an intensification

of the internal conflict in South Africa.

It is inevitable:

instead of amending the Constitution to access

to legitimate demands from the majority of people,

they change the Constitution

to perpetuate the status quo.

What has the result,

of course, the pursuit

of armed struggle in South Africa.

She will be as violent as ...

Tau.

Unathi.

Luyanda.

Bongani.

It's the end of the month.

It's always there that they come.

Keep our cool

and no one will be hurt.

Will we fight for a long time with sticks?

They have guns.

We must arm ourselves, that they fear us.

That's enough !

If we skid, they will skid.

What is wrong with you ?

What would your mother or father say?

Nobody will ever know.

Shepherd,

do not you study the Bible?

The earth is our sacred text.

She was there before us and will be well after.

Our homework

is to protect it.

Even from us.

It was a long day.

Shepherd, do your work.

You may know her.

Here is the story

five warriors

and their beloved ones.

Five friendly warriors

and become brothers,

that the same goal united:

ride together

until their struggle is finally won.

Zulu

leader

without fear.

Lerato,

their body and soul.

Unathi,

which they called the "Shepherd".

The one who told the stories.

And Luyanda, the cripple,

that they called the "Cockroach".

Go die, man.

Bongani,

called "Popoches"

because he was the richest.

Then Tau, the "Lion",

ruthless and faster than lightning.

Sometimes naughty.

Very very bad.

These five were fighting for freedom,

when others crossed their arms.

Together they were fighting

and maybe fall, for their homeland.

The five fingers of the hand.

Hi Dad.

Good evening mother.

Why are you coming back so late?

I'm sorry, Jonah.

Go wash yourself.

Tau.

I need you.

Monte!

What is it exactly

your problem, my boy?

More sheep on the way.

It's so hard to stop a train

when he is in full acceleration.

Once he's gone, he continues to advance

until the collision.

He alone knows when he will stop.

That's it.

It's not a game.

Looks like you need company.

No, I'm waiting for someone

Who ?

A girl that I see sometimes.

A girl ?

Yes. A girl...

Pretty pretty, except that she dresses oddly.

She likes to sing.

Tau, you my love

Come with me.

I prefer to stay here.

No need to watch over us.

- Your brother... - Zulu is not strong enough.

He thinks he is, but no.

You yes, by cons?

I have to be strong.

Are you sure, Tau?

Thank you my sister.

Next month.

Are you going to leave us alone?

She has dog.

Adult, it will be something.

A little respect for my ladies.

All.

Please.

This big mouth

you will be worth trouble,

old man.

An egg !

You think we're scary?

Be careful the beating!

We do not belong to you. Our money!

Come and get it !

Let's get out of here.

See you soon, old man!

Come on, Vorster. Brothel!

We run away!

It's going to end badly.

A brick ? Brothel! Roll!

You want us to shoot?

Strip of shit!

Slut!

Contents, the little cons?

Tau! Think about it!

Lerato ...

Lerato ...

It's your fault, little guy.

Put this weapon.

Tau!

Sorry...

Tau ...

Say ... do you realize?

Now, you have to hide.

Dad, God.

There will be a fight.

Turn away from me

until it is finished.

Things will go wrong.

Very bad.

FIVE FINGERS

Do not play the heroes.

There is that slab to take here.

What do we do ?

Chief !

Mom ?

Mom ?

Leave it!

The "Lion of Marseille"

returns to the wild.

God preserve us.

I am fed up with all that.

I have a lady

that I would see well again.

She comes from a small town.

Maybe I could work with his father.

You would see it ...

If you think she's waiting for you.

And you, Slim?

Are you going back to town?

Too old to play solo.

Do not try the devil.

We have been together since when?

Fifteen ?

In all this time, you never talked about your life

Do you know where to ask?

We will be there.

Brothers.

Until the end.

Welcome to the "new" Marseille

When they see me, they will be like crazy.

Wherever I go,

you, you and you,

remember once where they were pulling me by the ear

and said: "Say, my brother Thuto ...

What you're sexy, you make me crazy! "

So suddenly, I told them:

"In rank, I take you one after the other."

Whiskey.

We sell the whiskey to the bottle.

What if I do not want a bottle?

You will drink it elsewhere.

Spit the wheat or wood something else.

Come on, I'm listening to you.

A whiskey and in a glass.

Listening,

we do not want stories here.

Welcome to the ...

Lady In Gray.

I graze

and the lady is out.

Whiskey.

Everybody Loves me.

All the girls in the area love me.

Viewing.

Doll !

Drop those tacky and come see a little.

One minute there.

All the whores, outside!

Outside !

You know the rules, dad.

You have good ...

Lerato!

What do we do now ?

Are we playing together?

If you're looking for trouble,

go on the street.

Why do not you join us?

Just a little.

You could sing us something.

Excuse.

She stopped singing.

It's still a pity.

There are broken hearts in the city.

Shut your mouth, finally!

She is a lady.

I'm on the road 48 weeks a year

and all that I want, it's a quiet drink

in a quiet place.

And I'm entitled to what in these bleds to the con?

Beware, little man.

Little man...

Sure, I'm a little man.

A soft little man, said my wife.

Hey !

You are harassing a lady

and you stab a drunk man in the back ?

Who are you?

Go get put!

I am nobody.

You know who I am ?

No.

No !

Not in my tavern!

Outside !

I said outside!

Will die !

I see you do not know where you are.

You're nobody!

And even.

When my boss returns,

you will know who I am.

And he arrives.

And shit!

I have everything you want. Tommy Hilfiger.

Gold jewelry.

Boys' underpants.

Some things sell better than others.

I have perfume for your friend.

A small glass ?

It's not the only bar in the area.

As you wish.

I will spend less.

I do not know what happened in there,

but you saved my life.

So...

Thank you.

I'm looking for someone.

I do not think so

that a man like you

find something that interests him in this city.

Mosemodi?

Zulu?

Who are you ? Why are you there?

Zulu!

MOSEMODI "ZULU"

Father of a son he never knew

I am here humbly

because as mayor New Marseille,

I saw hundreds new houses to build,

investments and growth in our city.

I could not have done it without you.

And your hard work!

The same spirit that liberated Marseille.

The spirit of sacrifice

Bravo.

Popoches?

We have security.

Thanks to the wonderful work

of the police.

Comrades.

No more old Marseille time!

Thanks to the drilling of this well,

we will have clean water,

for everyone and every home.

Mr. No one!

I was drunk dead last night.

I did not even know if it was the reality

or if you were a dream.

Bravo!

They see him as a hero.

But there are so many heroes here.

Congratulations, my friends!

Right in front.

- Where were you? - Here, here I am!

Here I am.

Very good.

It's a happy day.

Like every day of pay.

Where is the rest?

Please.

That's all I have left.

I was robbed.

I called the police.

Nobody came.

It's our fault?

Do not lie to me!

No.

Please.

Take.

Be careful, the Chinese.

It's our city, and our rules.

Otherwise we will kill you.

Trouble, chief?

Kiss my ass.

Everyone is not a hero.

If you interpose is a habit,

this city needs you.

Did I say something stupid ?

Lerato.

What to say...

You deserved it.

Lerato.

So, are you going to think about my offer?

Leave the hill.

You know, I'll get you any house here.

Rail is home.

The Rail is finished.

Not for us.

I do everything for the New Marseille.

I can not save everyone,

but you yes.

Your father and you.

You know how much he keeps at the tavern.

Just like me.

Monsieur got dirty,

is not it ?

You deserved it, Bongani.

I am proud of you.

Cockroach!

Your job is to watch who enters and leaves the city.

This guy was at the tavern the day before yesterday.

Alone.

Chief...

Keep an eye on it

Understood, chief?

Good.

Looks like he's coming back.

The ghost.

That he comes.

Cockroach.

Our dear little town ...

has come a long way.

It was my father's.

I knew your father.

You were a warrior?

Like him ?

You are a good rider.

And good shooter.

Do you do the same with men?

For sheep thieves.

Like my father.

He was doing the same.

You are hungry ?

Tell me one thing.

Did you know my father where?

You have been

in real fights?

You should not be here.

This is my father's territory.

You want

to hunt me, kid?

Sizwe.

Kid...

how is your father dead? You know ?

It's his brother.

He killed her.

Sizwe!

Hey !

Here it is.

Say, old man!

You have the nerve to show your reel here.

Who do you think You Are ?

You'll bring your strawberry back here.

I heard.

Are you clever?

If by chance he looks like

near or far to one of these bastards,

and he growls like a bastard,

better be wary

for he will break your bones.

You are in your cage.

But do not forget, ghosts come in everywhere.

Lerato.

Is this gentleman your friend?

I can ?

Bring a drink for my friend

and a Sesotho beer for me, Umqombothi.

No brands.

No company.

A bundle of scars.

What makes me say this:

you are not a gangster.

Not now anyway.

But I know those in your genre.

We are not in the city here.

There is only one law here:

the big dog eats the little one.

As you see it,

I am blessed.

I received the anointing

and I am cursed.

I can be the Devil.

And...

I can be the Messiah.

The peacemaker.

I am a judge.

You must have heard of me.

My name is Sepoko.

"The ghost".

My associates call themselves

the Runners of the Night.

Now, it's up to you to introduce yourself.

Thank you for the glass.

Be polite, old man!

He says to be called "Person".

Nobody is called "Person".

The boss offers a drink to a stranger,

politely talks to him.

And the unknown is fired without even showing up.

Shit so ...

it's not very polite.

He's a brawler

who plays hard.

We are going to play a game.

Who says brawler says fight.

Angel!

Cherub ...

Approach.

Come on, we stop there.

Dad !

Why, old man?

I am at home.

You will not do what you want.

God, Tau!

Do something !

There are the stories we hear ...

on these men deemed hard.

And there are those we tell on a lion.

The Lion of Marseille.

Why would the Lion come back,

after so long?

Will he sit idly by?

while those he loves

get hit?

How many skeletons in this city ...

We will stay awhile.

How?

How could you, bastard?

What did you become?

We were no longer children.

If the police hit,

Fingers hit too.

Violently.

There were hard years.

The cops have ambushed.

Zulu ...

will not even know his son.

Our son.

If things had been different ...

If you had been different ...

We lost so much.

But I am at peace.

You go ?

We are working on it.

She's your wife?

Tau ...

I never married.

Too busy !

A city to build is not nothing.

To old friends.

Let's eat.

I guess you want to know.

They trapped us.

They had dogs.

Zulu thought to sow them in the pass.

And there, accident!

He dropped.

Luyanda,

the cockroach",

wanted to repel the dogs.

They took it.

And have kept it a long time.

Tortured him.

He challenged you.

When he came back ...

it was more the same.

He had changed.

These bastards,

we ended up having them.

I started to rebuild.

Zulu would have liked it that way.

Zulu would be in my place today:

mayor.

Listen, Tau.

I am doing my best.

Who says change ...

said sacrifice.

And the Rail?

The ghost ?

I extended the invitation to Lerato.

It seemed normal to me.

To take care of her and the boy.

She refused.

Of course.

It's up to me to take care of them, I guess.

As Zulu's brother.

You do not stay, then?

What's here for you?

Everyone encourages me to leave.

No, the friend.

If you made your decision ...

so...

it's up to you to take care of them.

Come on, do not stay here all day.

Hello !

It's John!

We are closed.

I want to fight the police.

I am not your man.

For my family !

It does not interest me.

You fought the police.

You fight the bad guys.

No, I'm a bad guy

Leave me alone !

He moved.

He carries bottles for this old moron.

The boy and the lady, what is their connection?

They are close.

We enter your territory, Mayor.

He's going to break my bones, this horse.

You are not good.

No need for a horse, after all.

To keep the animals,

we have not invented anything better.

Say what you have to say, kid.

I know everything about you

For example ?

That you are like the cops.

Or any guy from the bar.

My father, he would not be scared.

He did not sit idly by,

he was a warrior.

Kid...

do not take this dark path.

Do not look like me.

You? Never.

I will not look like you.

You know what ?

In fact, you are a coward.

You betrayed my father!

You let him fight alone.

And he is dead.

Yes, dead!

If you touch me again,

I'm poking your skin.

Hi, kid.

Take your blowgun

and go elsewhere if I'm there.

Ouste!

My mother, she was struck by lightning.

It was the night I was born.

I struggled to get out

from within his charred body.

You want to know what do I expect from this city?

Nothing at all.

I have seen so many like her.

This new free city,

she is rotten, stillborn.

You see him too.

It takes a hard man with a heart of stone,

to straighten it up.

Let me give you a secret.

This city wants only one thing:

that you leave as far as possible.

And they are afraid to tell you.

Afraid that you will hurt them, how you hurt them once.

You do not belong in our world.

Wherever it is, by the way.

We are brothers.

My brother, I killed him.

I'll show you how hard I am.

Who says change says sacrifice.

Gentlemen!

Let's show them who we are!

Old man...

you who hide on this hill always

and let the children fight.

This cage will not protect you anymore.

So that's it ?

It is the end ?

Please,

do not touch the lady.

Bongani ...

Help us.

Do something !

React!

Popoches!

They did it!

Popoches!

You bastard!

Bastard!

I am no longer a cockroach.

I am a lion.

Your band can do what they want to the Rail.

As long as she stays on the hill.

The police can not touch you.

You proposed to me your childhood home

to leave alone your new Marseille.

And look what's become of it

since the day this contract was concluded, you and me.

I told you...

to hurt anyone.

You had to chase him, nothing more.

You got what you wanted.

You smell bad, Mr. Mayor.

You feel rotten.

You feel shame.

To vomit.

See you soon.

That's what you are?

The pain of these Sothos dogs?

No one will hurt you anymore.

He will annoy us more.

We'll see.

You show yourself ...

equal to yourself.

In this life

or in another,

I'll stick you a bullet

in the skin.

You will queue, like the others.

All down the hill!

Mr. Mayor!

Mr. Mayor!

Total liquidation!

Sorry, chief.

You do not have the right to be there.

Things have changed, you know.

You have three chances to get by.

Last chance.

Break, Cockroach!

Standing !

We're waking up !

Free, free Marseille!

See what your sneaky leaders did you!

It's still our city.

It's still our city!

Here is the story of five warriors.

Five friendly warriors

and become brothers

that the same goal united.

Earth,

this is our sacred text.

Tau, the "Lion",

Sometimes naughty ...

Some water.

What does God have to say?

Why did you come back?

Formerly you destroyed our world and fled.

You came back and it starts again.

You have never fought for freedom,

you just fought.

We are what we are

because of you.

That day has changed us all.

And you, Berger?

What did you do to save Marseille?

I promised God

to give up this life.

But you are here.

A memory.

Sizwe ...

approach.

The representative.

He can really find anything?

Anywhere ?

Have you kept everything?

It is necessary someone tells the stories.

I have to confess my sins, Berger?

God does not hear me anymore, Tau.

We are looking for a friend.

It's called the Lion.

He is dead.

Tell your boss he's getting ready.

My brother.

You look like nothing.

Times are hard.

You `ve seen ?

You land like a rat.

So you did wrong.

Two men could have resisted.

They are dead today.

Because you believe

that I abandon Marseille?

I gave twice more

for this city as Zulu.

However, you really do not get ankle.

There is a world between you and Zulu.

You are not...

Death?

What?

You will kill me ?

Marseille has never been free, Bongani.

But she will become one.

It may be a ghost.

The ghost is me.

Not him.

I'll wait.

What are you going to do ?

Tau.

No way

I'm losing him too.

Go with her, kid.

And stay there.

Never.

I am a warrior, like you.

Look at me, Sizwe.

If I meet you here again,

I kill you with my own hands.

Go.

Please, they pay, these bastards.

Lion ? He is alive.

The time has come.

Yours, yes.

Coming soon, we will go home.

It makes holes!

Sixteen.

Twenty would do more round.

They say "the Chinese".

But you have a name?

Wei.

It means "the strength".

If you want to change your mind ...

A.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

I want to fight.

If it's not this city, it will be the next.

Sometimes a man has to take a stand.

Five warriors riding together

until their struggle is finally won.

Brothers.

Until the end.

Your dad

would have been very proud of you.

I am proud of you.

That's Mr. Person

and his stray dogs.

Here you are at last.

Sizwe.

You asked God

to look away

of you

until...

what the fight

be won.

Your fight

may not be finished.

Show yourself, the Chinese.

Chief.

Help.

Help !

Standing !

Sizwe!

The ghost !

You killed all my men.

It's finish.

I understand, Lion.

We sent you here to judge me.

But I will not be judged.

Now I killed you twice.

Not yet.

Witch!

Do not do that.

Sizwe ...

Come on, kid.

Shoot if you can.

Completes me.

Mr. Mayor ...

Mr. Mayor!

You destroyed me.

Not here.

The earth will decide.

It's our duty

to protect her.

Even from us.

Tau.

Sorry, kid.

What are we doing ?

We turn back.

And we start from scratch.

FIVE FINGERS
