Please.

There is enough fish for everyone.

-You have to serve me first. -No, I was here first.

Ekah, you need to serve me. I live far off.

I know who came first and who was last.

OK, let's do this--

whoever stands in line, will get extra fish.

Yes.

How much do you need?

Business was good today.

Take this 1,000frs. Buy something for yourself.

-Papa! -Take it!

Keep it! You need it more than I do.

Oh! My "little mother".

This business will be nothing without you.

Thank you.

Let's go home.

Let's go home.

Mother.

Sorry.

Why the stare, Papa?

Because the fish is well roasted.

The fish is very delicious.

Do you know why I gave you the name, Ekah?

Because it was your mother's name.

When I look at you, all I see is my mother.

You look just like her.

If I don't take care of you,

who will?

I want you to know, our hard work,

is not in vain.

If you ask for the top three fish people in this village,

Keep up the good work.

Did you love your mother?

Most definitely.

I love her very much.

Do you love my mother?

You are too young to understand.

When you grow up,

you will understand.

We will talk, when you grow up. Do you hear me?

Don't worry. Eat!

My "little mother".

Welcome.

I don't want to ever leave you.

This can never happen to you.

You will not be a slave, in any man's house.

The teacher is waiting for her fish. Rush there.

Quickly, don't be late.

I brought your fish.

That's how you always buy it.

The teacher wasn't in school?

She was, Papa.

So, what took you so long?

Papa, I saw kids singing school songs. I love it.

How much Kiki's mother owe us?

Huh, go and call your uncle Lucas.

Tell him to come fast...

Let's go and collect that debt.

OK?

Don't take too long. OK?

Do you hear me?

I visited Barbara yesterday.

She might die very soon.

-Are you serious? -I'm very serious.

Death is calling her name.

She will leave us soon.

Die with all of that education?

You sound like education is important.

Education is useless.

It destroys families.

Only lazy and stupid people go to school.

Everyone I know in this village, who dared to be educated is poor.

Would I lie to you?

Let's take counts. Lazy Peter still lives with his parents.

No money. Joe, same.

Foolish Barbara decided to join them, too.

Barbara's case is heart breaking.

Very sad.

Talk less of Rita.

She went to school to study, and instead got pregnant.

Mama, you know I hate school.

I prefer to be a fish girl, than go to school.

Or even get married like Rita.

Smart thinking, Andong.

You are a smart girl.

I will buy you garri, so you can eat it with fish.

Mother.

Mother!

Mother, Mother!

Mother.

Mother! Papa!

Mother.

Papa! Mother.

Mother, Pa--

Solo, how did you find this beautiful place?

It was here

that my father proposed to my mother.

You like the place?

Yes, it is very beautiful.

And the way I love you,

only a calculator can show it.

Aww, Solo.

The way I love you,

even a calculator cannot show it.

Look...

You know, I cannot make a good family,

if I don't have a good wife.

You are the only woman I truly love.

my heart melts.

I want you to be my wife.

Please, marry me, so we can make a beautiful family.

That has always been my dream.

To be called your wife.

I will marry you.

Is that a yes?

You see why I say you melt my heart?

Thank you for the beautiful shoes. I like them a lot.

Ah! Everything for you, my love.

What is she saying?

Wh-- What is her name?

What are you doing?

This is what killed your mother.

Have you eaten?

OK.

Help take off my shoes.

I have saved some money.

I will buy you a new fish band next month. OK?

So you can roast fish very well.

Your father went to visit his friend.

-Yes, uncle. -You are a very good child.

Everyone is proud of you.

If one of my three boys

were working hard like you,

I would have been a happy man.

Your father is very respected here,

because of you.

You should never change.

Let me rush to work.

Have you ever asked yourself why all these educated kids are poor?

They are lazy kids.

You understand? They are very lazy kids.

Education is not for women.

All right. Think about this.

Has an educated person ever bought fish from you,

without arguing the price?

They are poor. We even feed them.

Yes, we do.

Stay just the way you are.

Don't change.

Let nobody deceive you with education.

Education is bad for women.

You understand?

Let me rush to work.

How are you?

I'm all right.

My uncle came back yesterday.

He says I will start school on Monday.

I don't want to go to school. Please, give me an excuse to tell him.

I hate school.

Sorry, I have to go. We'll talk some other time.

Why did you wake up late?

You had too much work yesterday?

I slept late.

I have repaired the engine.

The new kick-starter is working well.

Hah, are you OK?

-What did you say? -Where is your father?

Where is your father?

Please serve my fish, I have to go.

If you can't wait, then go.

What did you say?

I said, if you can't wait, then go buy somewhere else.

I'm leaving. Give my money.

Didn't I pay you? I need my balance.

Madam, please don't start.

You didn't give me any money, and you can never deceive me.

What?

-Madam, please don't be mad. -If not of you, I would have left.

-I'll serve you-- she forgot. -It is only because of you.

Don't be angry, please understand.

I have heard you.

She bought fish for 3,000frs.

She gave you 5,000frs. Give her change.

So, she even has the change.

Please don't be angry. Please understand.

Have you been served?

Serve me!

Welcome.

Mustapha. How are you?

What is it?

This is a joke, right?

Do you know what time it is?

Lucas, I didn't come here to joke with you.

You can't ask for a debt, at this time.

I gave you the money at the same time.

Based on calculations, I can only pay you next month.

I don't have money.

Lucas, enough of these your stupid jokes.

Do you see me laughing?

I am not joking. I don't have money.

Lucas, you are a liar.

Don't we see you selling by the sea everyday?

Are you out of your mind?

You have the guts to come to my house and insult me?

Do I owe you money?

Do I?

Lucas, Mustapha is telling the truth.

You cannot dribble me like Samuel Eto'o, on a football pitch.

Lucas, if you don't pay my money...

you will be dead.

Hmm... You threaten me, in my house?

Sule. Look...

I will close my eyes...

When I open my eyes, and you're still here,

I promise you...

one of you will be dead.

You don't know how to joke?

You are my brother.

Let's fix this like men...

Let's fix it like brothers.

My brother, you will be dead if you don't pay my money.

The money is in my pocket.

Let's fix this like brothers.

Please.

How much is that?

It's 4,000frs.

4,000frs?

You owe me 70,000frs.

Sule, that's all I have.

Please give me a little bit of time.

That's all I have right now.

Lucas, you must finish paying me my money.

OK. Can you take wood as part of the debt?

What?

You wouldn't need to buy wood again.

I promise you.

Here is the wood.

Drink it while it's still hot.

It will cure your cough. Drink it.

Drink.

Is there something wrong?

Is something disturbing you?

You look worried.

The misunderstanding with that woman, should not disturb you.

OK?

You were too busy.

So you got confused.

It can happen to anyone.

Do you understand? Don't worry, drink up.

Drink it before it gets cold. Drink.

School is not for fish people like us.

And you are a woman.

That is a bad idea.

What will the villagers say?

What will those same people say...

when I go to school and start making money?

I mean, a lot of money.

Nobody in this house would need to go fishing,

everyday, 24/7.

Our lives would be changed forever.

They say, a blind person cannot lead another.

Fishing is for young people.

What would happen when we get old and can't go fishing?

God has blessed us with just one kid.

and it's a girl.

What God has blessed us with, is fishing.

And we can't change it.

I disagree with you.

My "little mother".

Do you want to know the answer now?

Do you?

I have never loved myself.

Every love and care I had...

I gave it to your mother.

When my mother and brother Lucas,

tried to say anything bad about her,

I kicked my mother out of the house.

Nobody loves your mother more than me.

I mean, nobody.

Not even God.

And not even you.

You don't love her more than I do.

It seems the devil took over her.

She started talking to me like a mad woman.

No, you can't utter such words.

I refuse to accept this.

I need you to understand.

Please...

Let me go.

Is this what education does?

-That man doesn't love you... -Please, hold it!

...than let you make the same mistakes like your mother.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

Where is your mother?

She went out.

Didn't you say you do not want to go to school?

My uncle came yesterday,

and made a big deal out of it.

About what?

When my father died in the fishing waters,

my uncle promised to send me to school.

He has been sending money for school fees,

but my mum has been spending it.

Yesterday, after the fight,

he bought me two uniforms

and paid my fees.

How was it?

What?

It was boring.

I had no idea what the teacher was saying.

I was in class but thinking about us.

How we were free and enjoying by the seaside.

Take this 300frs and buy something for yourself.

-Go home and cook, I'm hungry. -Papa, I already cooked.

-How about the clothes? -I washed them, too.

OK. Go home and have some deserved rest.

Go home.

Nobody.

It's you.

I peep through the window everyday to learn.

-Brother. -Yes.

I need your help.

I need that money before the deadline.

Lucas! 66,000frs.

If I had that kind of money, Ekah will get a new fish barn.

I don't have it.

Ekah's father.

What are you doing here?

-Do I need permission? -Not at all.

Just that people like you only come out on special occasions.

If you have anything to say, tell him here.

Teacher Bihbih, if there is something, just say it here.

Have a sit, so you can be offered a drink.

Have a seat.

In my family, we do not cheat.

The fish we give you, is the right size.

We thank God. Have a glass of palm wine.

I'm fine. Thank you.

All this time that I taught,

I had no idea Ekah peeps through a hole to learn.

My daughter came to your class?

The good thing is I asked a difficult question today

and she answered.

and she answered all of them.

Your daughter...

was sent to change your family.

Are you out of your mind?

Why do bad luck always choose your house?

Again and again. Before it was Barbara,

now, it's Ekah.

My daughter went to school?

What is it?

Everywhere, school, school, school.

If school was that good, you will not be dressed like this.

You look like a replica of Pinocchio! Nonsense, sit down!

You want to become like your mother?

You want to be stubborn?

Lay down there!

I said, lay down!

Lay down!

Will you set your foot in that school again?

Will you go to that class again?

No, Papa. Never.

-I can't hear you! -I will never go there again, Papa!

Would I see you in that school again?

I will never go there again, Papa. I promise.

-I can't hear you. -I promise, Papa.

-You hear? -Yes, Papa.

Solo, you are a strong man.

You are a strong man.

Solo, you are a strong man.

I want to warn you to stay away from my family.

Take your madness somewhere else.

Do you hear me?

You understand?

Don't put your madness in my daughter's head.

I love her the way she is.

I'm warning you for the last time.

This is what I don't like.

Look at your back.

You are becoming too stubborn.

I don't like it.

"Little mother", is it painful?

Is it painful?

Sorry.

I'm so sorry, my "little mother".

You hear me?

Sorry.

How was fishing?

It was good.

Ekah didn't follow you today.

Ekah got me really angry. I got her well beaten.

She was well beaten.

I witnessed it.

You did the right thing.

I do the same to my boys when they are stubborn.

Anchor the canoe on the other side.

When I think of what Barbara did to me,

and my daughter is trying to do the same things,

it frightens me.

I don't like it.

I didn't know I still had this much anger in me.

Don't worry, Solo.

Look.

You need to keep this kid on her toes.

Don't let her become like your wife, Barbara.

If I were you, I will desecrate on Barbara's grave.

Teach her a lesson.

-Papa, welcome. -Hmm.

Have you taken the medicine I prepared for you?

Did you manage to cook food?

I did everything as assigned,

I even mended a few nets.

I think I can go fishing with you tomorrow.

Huh, heat my food, I'm hungry.

Your food is hot, Papa.

I knew you will be coming back at this time.

It's good you take a shower first, before I serve your food.

Warm water is already in the bathroom.

Teacher. Please, I want to learn.

They say those who go to school

can change their families...

Teacher, please help me.

How are you?

Have you brought my brother's money?

Mr Sule, greetings.

Have you brought my money?

Mr Sule.

You are a good man.

A good man like me.

That's why I have come to see you,

so together we can get a one-time solution.

Many days have elapsed and you still haven't brought my money.

Exactly.

You think I'm stupid, right?

I can call two of my boys, to roughen you up.

Yes.

I think it's time I allow Mustapha to deal with you.

Right.

Mr Sule.

I came here for a reason.

Please, just listen to me.

What I have to tell you is better than money.

Truthfully, Lucas...

You take us for fools?

We are not foolish.

I swear.

Sule, this guy wants to sell us wood.

No, I don't want to sell you wood. Mr Sule, look.

You have a good heart.

You have a good heart. Just like that of Jesus Christ.

Like Jesus Christ?

Jesus Christ?

You call me Jesus Christ?

I wanted to say, you have a good heart like Prophet Muhammad.

Both of you have a heart like that of Prophet Muhammad.

That's what I wanted to say.

OK.

You say I have a heart,

-like that of Prophet Muhammad? -Yes, that's true.

A good heart like that of Holy Prophet Muhammad.

OK.

What do you want to tell me, that is better than my money?

Hey! Stop right there.

It's a private talk, just our ears.

Very private talk.

Is it a good deal?

You are back early.

-How did the exams go? -Solomon,

I told you my name is not Barbara.

OK.

But did you write well?

Is there food?

There is, but it's still cold.

Please, let me finish stitching my "Trousa",

Never.

It can't happen to my daughter...

Not my daughter.

Who's a big fool now?

Definitely not me.

"Trousa".

Teacher. Please teach me.

I will do whatever you want.

What were you doing?

What were you doing?

I was... fixing the bed.

Let me rush to the meeting before it starts raining.

You understand? Huh. I will be back.

Can I ask you a question?

Where is Ekah?

You think I came here for jokes?

Where is my daughter?

Where is she?

I know she's here.

Let's check in the room.

She is not here, Lucas. Let's go home.

She is not here.

I will beat you until those your mother's bad genes are out.

-Lucas, welcome. -Thank you.

Those people have not still fixed the light?

They haven't.

I looked for you at the seaside today to no avail.

I decided to stay home and keep an eye on Ekah.

She has been locked up in the room.

How long will you keep an eye on her?

Until she learns a lesson.

When will that happen?

Why am I so unfortunate?

I don't look for trouble,

but bad things keep happening to me.

I think I have a solution to this Ekah's situation.

Please tell me.

I think...

we should give her to someone who can control her better.

Find her a husband.

What did you say?

You want me to marry Ekah off?

No way.

I can't do that.

Think about it.

Think!

Our "little mother"?

Marry her off at this age?

That's impossible.

If you marry her off, the responsibility will not be on you anymore.

The shame wouldn't be on you, like the case of your late wife, Barbara.

Think about it.

I don't want anyone to abuse my child.

Leave all that to me.

I will handle that. You can count on me.

Look, Solo, I like the way you are handling Ekah.

You are a strong man.

A very strong man.

Our late parents must be very proud of you.

Good job.

You need to keep going.

Believe me.

My brother Lucas, and I...

have decided you will go live with Alhaji Sule.

You will be his wife.

His wife?

That's what happens to every woman.

You are now a woman.

I am a girl.

Any girl who is as stubborn as you,

is not a girl anymore.

You are ripe for marriage.

Papa. Please, I will never visit teacher Bihbih again.

This is the best way out for you.

Everyone knows Alhaji Sule is a rich man.

He is a good man and he will take good care of you.

End of chapter.

I'm not ready to have a child. I will not be stubborn anymore.

Don't abandon me. I will never go to that school.

-Brother, let's go. -Papa.

Papa, please don't abandon me.

You understand.

Papa, I promise you, I will never touch any book.

I swear to God, I will not even look at Teacher Bihbih.

Papa, please.

Papa, please don't do this to me.

He has gone fishing.

Why do you want to see him?

How else do you want us--

Ekah is not one of your students.

Those are little tricks for kids.

Why would they give Ekah 150,000frs when you can keep it to yourself?

Leave this place. Don't disturb my peace again.

Teacher, please don't leave me here.

-Ekah... -They locked me up in the room.

Yes, it's me.

Stay put

It's none of your business. Nobody invited you into this.

Teacher Bihbih, please rescue me.

I don't want to get married.

I run this neighbourhood.

I am very well respected here.

If I ask anyone to jump, they jump.

If I tell them to eat debris, they do it without hesitation.

Don't come here and try to tell me what to do.

This is none of your business. Leave this place.

I dare you to cross that line.

What is it?

Hey.

If I hear a word from you again,

you will know what I am capable of!

Bihbih, my brother, Sule must have his bride.

Let's go before Ekah runs too far.

If I find out you helped Ekah to run away from marriage,

I will shutdown your school.

You understand? I will shut it down.

-Hello, uncle. -Have you seen Ekah?

I just saw her running towards the seaside.

OK.

Can you help me cross to the other side?

500frs.

OK, let's go.

The canoe is empty.

Can I add another 500frs?

Young man!

How are you?

I am fine.

Have you seen Ekah?

Yes, Ekah, she is popular.

Are you talking about Solomon's daughter?

She left.

Lucas, I told you.

We have to cross over. There's no time.

Young man!

Yes, sir.

What is your name?

Kum Peter.

Do you know me?

Yes, big bro.

Think very well.

Are you sure Ekah left?

Or is she hiding somewhere here?

She crossed over, sir. With another canoeist--

Do you know this other canoeist...

What's his name again, I think Efofa?

Yes, big bro.

What happened to him?

He was stabbed.

Why?

Big bro,

I am not lying, she crossed over.

She left.

Why the stare, big bro? You are making me feel like I am lying.

She left.

I swear, if I am lying,

let my mother be stroke by thunder.

What are you doing?

-What are you doing? -Take off your clothes!

Take off your cloths!

How are you?

-Fine. How are you guys? -We are very fine.

How did it go?

It went down well.

Ekah made me speak tongues.

You gave me a sweet girl.

I can have her all day. No breaks.

Very sweet.

She tasted like fresh cocoa yam mixed with palm oil.

Didn't I tell you?

I told you.

I have not been out of this house in three days.

The wine is too sweet to go anywhere.

-I can't go anywhere. -Sule. Sule.

-You have done me well. I will be back. -OK.

-I have a gift for you. -OK. Waiting.

Take this.

That's for you.

You paid your debt very well.

When you give me something nice,

I have to return that favour.

-You are a good brother. -Thanks and you, too.

What are you doing here?

He rapes me everyday.

But he is your husband.

Please forgive me for anything I have done wrong to you.

Don't give up on me.

Papa, it's me. Ekah.

Your "little mother".

Does your husband know you are here?

Return to your husband.

Your husband will not kill you.

Solomon, I am here.

What is it again?

What is it?

Solomon, do you think I am stupid?

I have told you people that I'm not a fool.

Nobody can play over my intelligence.

Why are talking you to me like a mad man?

Did you just call me a mad man?

Because I can show you real madness right now.

You always come here to look for your wife.

Your wife is under your care. Not mine.

Sule is not stupid.

Lucas! Here I am.

I am giving you two options.

Two options.

The first is,

you and your brother will bring my wife back.

Second option.

Repay all the money you took from me.

If you guys don't do any of these, heads will roll.

Didn't I tell you, in case of any issues,

you should contact me first?

-Why did you bring it to my brother? -No, no, no.

Go, I will bring her.

I won't buy that.

I am not leaving without my wife.

Sule, what is going on here? I am lost.

What is it?

-Nothing, he is-- -Nothing?

Did you say, nothing?

You are calling 130,000frs nothing?

He owed me 64,000frs.

Then he borrowed more money from me.

Totalling 150,000frs, so he gave me your daughter as payment.

I swear.

If I don't see my money or my beautiful wife,

right here, right now,

-I will slaughter this man. -Exactly.

You tricked me.

You used my daughter to pay off your debt?

You used my daughter to pay off your debt?

Bro, go home. I'll fix this.

This is nothing.

Nothing?

Please, let me slaughter him.

What is it?

Ekah. Ekah. Ekah is at Pa Juh.

-Andong. What is it? -Ekah. Ekah. Ekah is at Pa Juh.

-What is it? -Ekah.

Where is she?

-Pa Juh! -Is she OK?

She was shot by the Taliban in 2012.

My girl child, Annabel must go to school.

Yeah.

I'm 12 years old.

I know my father loves me.

Where I come from, the fish people

don't believe in educating the girl child...

I can't even believe I'm standing here today as the best.
