Good morning.

What date is this

the Jazzton Band concert?

What time Friday?

Five hours ?

OK, thanks a lot.

- Akram, it's ready.
- Ok, I'm coming.

Are there no eggs?

I made beans

but I'll make some for you if you want.

It's not worth it.

Are you still working Friday?

Yes, we have lots of orders.

I will leave after prayer,
Why ?

Nothing, I'm thinking of buying some fish.

- Look at these bastards!
- What is happening ?

The network no longer works.
They had to announce the death.

Stay here, I'll close the gate.

Akram! They burn Bakri's car!

Is it the police?

It's Bakri, he has a weapon.

- Did he shoot them?
- No, he scares them.

The president confirmed
the death of the 1st vice-president

and leader of the Movement
independence, the SPLM,

John Garang,
in a helicopter accident

upon his return from Uganda.

The Sudanese government has renewed
the Naivasha peace agreement

which ended
to a 50-year civil war

and guaranteed to Southerners
the right to self-determination

at the end of the transition period.

"To Allah we belong
and to Him we will return."

Latest news :
victims among Northerners

following the riots that occurred

in several neighborhoods of Khartoum.

There is no God but Allah.

- There is no God but Allah.
- There is no God but Allah.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Sorry, Santino,
the locals want you to leave.

For what ? Because of the riots?

-How is this my fault?
- I know.

I got them to let you
one more day to go.

I did not do anything.

I am against riots,
they know that.

I pay my rent Haj Ahmed,
It is unfair.

I know, but it's their decision.
I have to respect her.

I have your money.

The entire rent.
Sorry.

Here are your 3 bottles.

Julia?

- Hi Daniel, are you okay?
- Are you okay, Achole?

I'm doing great, thank God.

- And you, Santino?
- Well, how are you?

- God bless you.
- We're okay, thank God.

Enter, please.

Sorry, I have a small delivery
to do.

I won't be long.

- No problem, be careful.
- Yes.

Thank God you are okay.

It's very dangerous
in certain neighborhoods.

Sorry Achole,

we invade you
until it calms down.

You are my brother.
You are at home here.

It's not important.

The neighbors are nice,
They won't bother you.

I made room for you,
you will be comfortable.

It's a Russian rifle.

It contains 5 balls.

Four in the charger here

and one in the barrel.

You place the stick
against your shoulder,

you arm it,

then you do this,

and you are ready.

You aim and you shoot.

Is there the Jazzton Band tonight?

Sorry madam,
because of the riots

they had to cancel.
They will play next week.

In this case,
I'll be back.

- THANKS.
- It was nothing.

GOOD. We will repeat
the same exercise.

What is going on ?

The road is blocked.
They arrest the rioters.

Sing every note
only once,

for better
use your vocal cords

and improve its sound,

by controlling your breathing.

Starting from the diaphragm,

through the larynx,
down to the vocal cords.

“I’m going back.
Do you need anything?”

The vocal cords
produce the notes.

- It's not your job.
- Let me do.

- Go ahead.
- OK.

It's still dirty.

- Where is Achole?
- She went to get coal.

You see, Danny, everything is clean.

Go empty the bucket outside.

Santino, I'm not in the mood.

Khamis is sleeping
and Danny comes back in 2 minutes.

Two minutes is a long time.

I water trees in 10 seconds.

We are being watched.

Are we going to stay here long?

2, 3 weeks
time to find.

2 more weeks?

There is no water,
neither electricity nor gas.

You don't even go to the studio anymore.

Why are you in a hurry?

The Arabs
attack Southerners everywhere.

I was in a good mood,
don't ruin everything.

We are supposed to enter
in a new era,

we must evolve and...

A lesson in breathing
for better control.

Let's take a deep breath

and let's try again.

Danny, are you okay?

Danny?

Are you blind?!

I call my husband,
he will call an ambulance.

Open the door.
Why is it closed?

What is this mess ? Stop!

Danny, are you okay?

- I'm not fine ?
- Take it.

Stop! Stop!

Stop the car!

Akram! A Southerner is chasing me!

- Stop!
- Where are you ?

- I don't know.
- Stop the car!

I don't know, Akram.

- You drive ?
- Yes.

- Stop!
- Come home quickly!

Ok, I'm coming !

-Akram, wait!
- Go home.

- Akram, listen!
- Go home !

Stop there!

Are you pointing a gun at me?

I said stop!

- Your name ?
- Akram Mohamed Omar Al Makk.

- Your age ?
- 39 years old.

- Address ?
- 13, Block 115, Khartoum West.

- Who called?
- It's me, officer.

Bakri Kamil,
head of the local committee.

- Delighted.
- Likewise.

- You must come with us.
- OK.

Akram, your keys.

The victim's belongings?

Nothing.

I took the motorbike,

as compensation for my car.

Go with them. Go ahead, it's okay.

Good evening Your Honor.

We have a little problem.

My neighbor killed a Southerner,

who was chasing his wife.

We're on our way to the station.

Thank you sir.

God bless you.

Good evening.
I want to report the disappearance

of my husband.

Her name ?

Santino Mabior.

- Where do you live ?
- At the street corner.

He's probably drunk somewhere.

He doesn't drink.

Sit down. I'll check.

- She wants what ?
- Her husband has disappeared.

Cover it, it's a police station here.

The lieutenant,
What's his name again?

- Kamal El Din?
- Kamal, yes. A good guy.

He said to call her
if they bothered us.

The problem was resolved
on my way.

If we had delayed
it would have been different,

but, fortunately, he acted quickly.

And thank goodness your wife is okay.

We are in danger,
be careful.

Ok, I'm leaving, rest.

- Stay, Bakri.
- Thank you my brother.

- THANKS.
- It was nothing.

- Hi.
- Thanks again.

How are you ?

What's the matter ?
Did he hurt you?

You are scared ?

Are you worried?

It was self-defense,
nothing more.

Take this, don't think too much.

- You couldn't shoot in the air?
- Mona, that guy was crazy.

He approached half naked,
God knows what he could have done.

You could have aimed for his leg.

I didn't have time to think,
it was instinctive.

I said stop, he continued,
I pulled.

You saw it ?

He wanted to kill you,
This is the only explanation.

- I wish he would.
-Mona.

Did you know him?

Do you know what he wanted from you?

How would I have known?

So why
make me feel guilty?

A man is dead, for God’s sake!

- You're not affected?
- That's not the question!

I was protecting my home.
I would do it again if I had to!

Where were you going anyway?

You didn't tell me anything.

I went to see the doctor.

Was it really necessary?
It's chaos outside.

Was it essential?

Sorry, Akram.
I didn't mean to blame you.

Don't worry.

You'll get over it.

Take the pills,
it will help you sleep.

Tomorrow is another day.

That's 8 photos in 4 by 6

and the group photo,
Here for you.

- THANKS.
- It was nothing.

Julia, how are you?
Happy to see you.

Where is Santino,
why is he not here?

I'm here for him, Mr. Mirghani.

- He did not come ?
- Not for several days.

Hey kid, Santino came by
when I wasn't there?

Not since Garang died.

OK, I'll continue.
Thanks anyway.

Good luck, my dear.
May God protect you.

Did you find Dad?

- Khamis, have you found Santino?
- No Unfortunately.

Neither in the hospital nor in the prison.

I called the family,
no one saw him.

We can leave Daniel here,

and go check tomorrow
among the victims.

O merciful Lord,

we put back
these souls in your hands.

We believe that the dead,
in Christ will be resurrected.

We praise you, O God
for sending your Son

and for opening us
the gates of heaven.

So that we can remain
with you, O LORD,

and you reign
For centuries and centuries.

Amen.

My brothers and sisters in Christ,

The Prophet Isaiah tells us this:

Long ago, before the advent of Christ,

God told us he would destroy

death forever.

He will wipe away our tears.

Be patient, sister.

- You do not have the right.
- Leave me alone.

- Take her.

- Leave me, Khamis,
I want to find it.

- Get her out of here.
- Let me get it.

How are you feeling ? Better ?

Much better. What is that ?

Songbirds.

They will keep you company
and will cheer you up.

Feed them twice a day.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Madam Mona?
- Yes.

Officer Kamal is waiting for you.

Welcome, Madam. Some water ?

No thanks, I just have a question,
it will not be long.

Check these files.

How can I help you ?

On the phone you were talking
about last month's incident?

Honestly,
I came without telling Akram.

I would like
contact the victim’s family.

To do what ?

I want to see if I can pay
“blood money” or help them.

Maybe they depended on him.
I need your help.

Unfortunately
we know nothing about him.

He's a stranger,
no one came to get him.

I can not do anything.

You will tell me
if anyone is looking for it?

Listen Madam,
I understand your position

but this case is closed
under article 51:

a stranger killed by strangers.

If we claim the body,
then it is 1st degree murder.

You understand ?

Yes I understand. THANKS.

Madam.

- I think I can help you.
- Really ?

I have a copy of the report

and his portfolio which was
subtracted from the evidence.

This might be useful to you.
You will know his name

and if he has family.
So you will be fixed.

Come behind the station in 15 minutes.
Take my number.

Cause of death after examination:
Crushing during the riots.

Driving license.

Mona, the workers are here.

Come in.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Cut out 20 cm in this frame.
- All right.

Call the painter for the ceiling.
He's running away again.

Makes alcohol
rather than pounding wayka.

Hey you!

What's wrong ?

Why are you looking at us?

You should be ashamed.

Let's go, leave the device inside.

Hurry up, Danny.

Julia, this is Mariam's place.

It's hot over there.
Who are you ? Are you from the town hall?

Mind your own business.

I warn you, I will tell him
that you took his place.

Take her on your knees
if you love him so much.

Hello my sister.

What do you need ?

A little wayka. How much is it ?

5 the big one, 3 the small one.
How many do you want ?

A lot, if it's good.

It's fresh this morning.
Taste it, you will come back.

- What is your name ?
-Julia.

- This is your son ?
- Yes, my son, Daniel.

God bless him. I'm Mona.

10 large bags, please.

Alright.
Is it for an occasion?

No, I freeze them.

Are you there often?

Every day, I never move.

10 large bags and one free
for you to come back.

Thank you so much.

Do you want something else ?

I'm looking for a servant.

How are you Daniel?

Say hello to Auntie.

Come and taste,
by the time your mother finishes.

Thank you so much.

- Where are you from, Julia?
- From Khartoum.

I mean,
where is your family from?

A small town called Kodok,
you see ?

- No not at all.
- Next to Malakal.

I locate Malakal.

I do not remember.
I arrived in Khartoum as a child.

You never go there?

If I had money,
I would go to Egypt, not to Kodok.

I don't have anyone there anymore.

Everyone died in the war
or fled the country.

And why Egypt?

I want to take my son

far from war,
visit the pyramids.

The war is over.

Here, the war never stops.
Tomorrow it will start again.

I'm from Khartoum now.
I barely know the South.

Have you always sold wayka?

My mother made it.

When I got married, I stopped.

My husband took care of us.

But everything has changed recently.

- Call me when you're finished.
- Of course.

- THANKS.
- It was nothing.

It's too much, Mona.

No, take it.
Come back if you want to work.

Yes, tell me
What do you need.

Housework, laundry,
I can do everything.

I have a cleaning lady
but it is not very regular.

- You can have his place.
- I would like. No more wayka.

I will come early.

- No, after 9 o'clock. Akram will be gone.
- I'll be there.

You are tired ?

Take down the tents.
Make them fall.

Collect the evidence.

Take it all apart and pile it up for me.

All that, on the ground.

Demolish everything.

Come on.

We're moving.

Get in there.

What is happening ?

The scum neighbor reported us.
Let him die.

Silence.
Leave or I'll arrest you too.

There, Mr. Agent, I am sitting.

Julia, go see my brother Majok
to Um Durman, stay with him.

It will be a month or two in prison,
we'll find another place.

Get out of there, woman.
We're going to set the fire.

What are you doing here ?
I said after 9 o'clock.

I'm sorry.
I had a problem at home.

And the rest of my family
lives too far away.

It's okay, I'll wait until 9 o'clock.

But no,
what happened at your house?

We were expelled.

But why ?

A relative sells alcohol.

If you live far away,
how will you come tomorrow?

I will fix it.
Once cleaned it will be fine.

There is a broom behind.

Thank you, Mona,
god bless you.

May peace and mercy
of Allah be upon you.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Who is that ?
- The new housekeeper.

Is she going to live here?

I thought you didn't want
a maid at home?

She lives too far away.

It wouldn't be possible.

- Are you bringing breakfast?
- No it'll be fine.

Western or Southern?

I don't know, I can't say.

- What's his name ?
-Julia.

So she's Southern.

She also has a son?

A neighbor
highly recommended it.

I love that she's a mother.

The singles return
pregnant weekend.

Do you think it will be different?

Southerners are beasts.

Like lost dogs.

They are not ashamed.

The wife passes to the son-in-law
upon the death of the husband.

Can we try it for a week?
I gave him my consent.

- OK, but she won't cook.
- I already told him.

Where is the painting?

I removed it. I do not like him.
I will replace it.

GOOD. Bakri said the other day
that he was cursed.

Damn ?

He said the houses he was in
burned or were damaged.

Anyway, see you later. Hi.

Come on, go open the gate.

Dear spectators,

it was our report
over the week

Khartoum festivities,

named
Capital of Arab Culture 2005.

After our meal,
I will leave

yours here.

The dishes marked with red
is for you.

I'll show you around,
there's not too much to do.

We stay on this floor instead.

Below is Akram's workshop.

It's morning, my love

The cheerful nightingale has come to you.
Oh darling.

It's morning, my love

The cheerful nightingale has come to you.
Oh darling.

He came to tell you
he came to complain

of his constant desire for you,
My love.

Mona, you didn't wear the wayka
in the freezer.

Oh, I forgot. Do it.

Your hand on his shoulder.

Smile.

THANKS. This way please.

Mr. Mirghany, how are you?

Hello Julia. How are you.

- And you ? Are you holding on?
- Thank God.

It hurts
not knowing where he is.

I thought he would call you
if he was going somewhere.

I leave you
the number of where I work.

- Give it to him if he calls.
- Of course.

Hey, this is his last salary.

Take and if you need more,
do not hesitate.

I'm like your father.

- Thank you, Mr. Mirghany.
- It was nothing.

Your tests clearly show that

your infertility is not due

to the syndrome
polycystic ovaries

but rather to a
premature ovarian failure.

There is no treatment, sorry.

Sperm injections,
hormonal treatments,

but nothing is sure.

Julia?

Isn't that okay?

It's what ? An identity card ?

Whose ? Here, take it back.

Are you back?

What did the doctor say?

The doctor ?

Same, syndrome
polycystic ovaries.

He doesn't want to operate?

It's not necessary.
I am responding well to the treatment.

We will continue, there is hope.

If God wills.

Don't go through my cupboards!
Where is the wallet?

I have it because I try
to find your father.

You want to find him, right?

Ok, but if you tell your mother,

I'm kicking you out.
You will have nowhere to go.

And no one
won't look for your father, okay?

Why did you do that to his face?

Don't blame him.
He loves you very much.

Mona.

I would like a loan.

School is starting, we have to
a bag and a uniform for Danny.

- He goes to school ?
- It's his first year.

In which school ?

I will find
a public school around here.

How is he going to get there?

I will accompany him
as long as he's afraid of cars.

There is a private school
at the end of the street.

He can go there alone.

Don't worry,
I take care of the costs.

God help us pay you
for everything you do.

It's nothing. It is a pleasure.

Don't stay there, help me.
Hold this for me.

You're not very talkative, are you?

Does this device work?

I have one that works, do you want it?

Hold.

Come on, hold the wood.

- Whose device is it?
- It's my father's.

- Your father ?
- Yes.

Where is your father?

Look what I got!

Luck.
Take a photo and show it to me.

Hey you, wait.

Where is your husband ?
The little one says he's missing.

He left two months ago.
He never came back.
four hundred ninety seven

Did you ask the hospitals?
Or maybe he's in jail...

I searched everywhere.
I did not find it.

- What is his full name?
-Santino Mabior.

Alright.

I know a lieutenant
who could help you.

I have more credit.
Can I call mom with yours?

Yes go ahead.

- Hello Mom.
- Yes hello.

How are you ?

Why are you calling
with Akram's phone?

- I have more credit.
- Okay, how are you?

I need Ni'aimiya's recipe.

It's very simple, mind you.

I'm putting you on speakerphone.

- Ready?
- Yes I'm listening.

First you cut an onion, then...

- Hello ?
- Hello.

- Yes ?
- Good morning.

Yes, hello, who is this?

Akram's wife,
do you remember me ?

Sorry, I didn't remember the name.

I came
about the case of the Southerner.

Yes, Madame Mona.

That's it, Mona.

Why are you leaving ?
I wanted to greet her.

I was calling for a recipe.

I wanted to see
if I had the ingredients.

Outgoing calls.

Duration of the call.

If it weren't for the reproaches,
My love. If there wasn't...

Leave it, Julia.

I added cloves
to soak there.

All right.

I would spread my wings
like a dove.

I would rise into space.

Give me the best ones.

I would leave behind
this world of emptiness.

Ample time.

Time is up.

Being afraid of being blamed.

You fumigate
in the south ?

No, but we know.

You have a nice voice.

Do you sing Sayed Khalifa?

- Do you listen to our music?
- What ? Of course.

I meant the one in the North.

Are you a singer?
I saw your photo in the closet.

I was, but I stopped.

For what ?

Akram gave me an ultimatum.

Stop, who would leave
a beautiful woman like you?

Yet we divorced for that.
He took me back because I stopped.

Most men
are selfish.

I didn't mean
that Akram is selfish.

He seems like a good man,
who loves you.

He is, but I've given up on love
a long time ago.

One good man is enough.

You are right, we must keep it.

We don't understand its value
only when we lose it.

Give me the cover.

I'm always thinking about him.

What happened to him ?

If he is alive,
why does he say nothing?

The absentees have their reasons.

Sometimes I think he's gone.

- They say the men are fleeing.
- Why would he do that?

He wanted to go to Europe.

So that I finish school
and go to college.

So that I become someone.

But I refused.

We don't even know how to swim.
How to cross on a boat?

I would have liked to say yes.

We wouldn't be there.

Daniel starts school soon.

You could resume your studies,
then go to college.

Daniel can stay with me.

Which school would take me?
I'm too old now.

Do not worry,
I know a good place.

- Are you well, Madam?
- Yes thanks.

What did Akram say?

He was looking for a missing Southerner.

He told me his name.
I said I would check.

Okay what if he calls
what will you tell him?

That I didn't find
no trace of him anywhere.

If he calls again, don't answer.

- GOOD. THANKS.
- Glad to help you, Madam.

I can pretend to be Kamal.

I can even pretend to be Akram
If you want.

Listen to me, aren't you ashamed?

You won't blackmail me.

At the first inappropriate gesture,
I scream for help.

Akram would blame me
but he would kill you, okay?

- Do you want the money?
- I'm sorry, forgive me.

Do you want the money or not?
Do not apologize.

This is a misunderstanding.

Take your motorbike and go.
Shame on you.

Do you think this will work?

Maybe, God willing.

God is generous.

By the way, you can do
fumigations more often,

not just when you ovulate.

The Southerner will stay then.

Yes. She keeps me company
and works well.

You registered his child
at the local school?

Yes.

Really, Mona?

What ?
I paid with my inheritance.

It's not for the price.

This school is not for him.
Put it in the audience.

For what ?

It won't fit in,
he will just suffer.

How long do you plan to pay?

If she leaves
will you continue to pay for him?

Maybe.

Public school is too far away,
he is too small for the bus.

He can walk.

You're going too far with them.

How so ?

Find yourself a neighbor,
someone to hang out with.

Not with the slave.

Don't call him that.

But that's what it is.

Not long ago, at my grandfather's house
there were still slaves.

God forgive you.
He said we were all equal.

He was talking about free people,
not slaves.

Otherwise slavery would not be
in Islam.

We will never evolve
with people like you.

Yesterday again,
you didn't know Garang,

and you are an activist?

You always said slave.
And not anymore?

I stopped.
I never said it to his face.

Nor treated people differently
because they are Southerners.

Because you know some?

There are millions of Southerners
in Khartoum.

Do you know anyone other than her?

That's not the question.

Oh yes ? You are part of society
whom you call racist.

You do the same things
but you don't see it.

Besides, you treat them differently.

- Me ?
- Yes.

You sleep with the air conditioning,

while she cooks
in the shed.

You rest
while she serves you for 3 sous.

What kind of friendship is this?

It's not slavery,
it is not linked to its origins.

- It's a job, that's all.
- Which we Arabs do not do.

A matter of pride,
our daughters would never do it.

You know I'm right.

You don't drink from his cup,
you marked her.

So please.

Ask Father Peter,
He's waiting for you.

The school is behind the church.

Why doesn't Achole vote here
Before leaving ?

People are already partying there.

- She can make money.
- More than here?

There is branded alcohol,
Who would buy theirs?

Our men don't like
industrial alcohol.

Get us one of his bottles
before she leaves.

I want to try arak
at least once.

Do you want a divorce or what?
Don't get me fired.

By the way, are we going to this place?
or not ?

Hello, Danny.

What's wrong ?

- Tell me ?
- I don't want to go to school anymore.

I want to work
with uncle Akram at the factory.

Julia, take your bag.
I'll drop you off and bring him back.

- Is it a chess game?
- Yes.

- Did you make them?
- I made the pawns.

Do you know how to play it?

Uncle Akram said he would teach me.

You want to tell me
what happened at school?

- Boys harass me.
- What did they tell you?

It was early in the morning,
I slept in our cabin.

My sister Alek woke me up
and said to me:

“Majier, the Arab army is here.”

I heard the kalachs.

Our whole family was killed.
Alek and I fled.

We crossed the river

to enter the jungle.

We fled for a very long time.

My sister was very ill
and she died.

I left her there, without burying her.

I walked to
reach an SPLA camp.

I was recruited by the People's Army.

I took up arms at twelve years old.

I know war, my brothers.

It must stop,

for our people and our children.

Who is it ?

The people's liberation movement.

- What do they want?
- There is talk of the referendum.

- Do you have plans for Christmas?
- I'm going to Juba.

- You too ?
- You should come.

My sister who speaks there,

do you want to share with us?

I was just saying
that I will not go to Juba.

A girl from Khartoum.

So what are you voting for?

Unity. We are all brothers,
sharing the same land.

Listen to me,

they are our brothers
for their own interests.

Bashir's government

just want peace and unity

for oil.

When they get it
it will be like before again.

You are African.
We are Arabs, descendants of Al Abbas.

If Al Abbas lived
he wouldn't believe it.

We want separation.
The "Jalaba" is not reliable.

Don't say that at school.

My brothers, in the past

a commander called the Arabs

“Mondokoro”, “Jalaba”.

He thought that racism without authority

was resistance.

Now we have the authority.

Leave racism to the Northerners,
we don't want them in the South.

If we can forgive
and forget the Northerners,

then we can heal
and build a home.

SPLM, Oyé!

SPLM, Oyé!

Separation, Oyé!

Separation, Oyé!

Separation, Oyé!

The SPLM sent me to America

to do my studies there.

- Have you graduated?
- Yes.

Excuse me.

Julia.

It's Julia, right?

Sorry for embarrassing you
in front of your classmates.

It's not serious.

I am Majier Mulual Majok
of the SPLM.

Former lieutenant of the People's Army.

- I'm Julia.
- Julia how?

Just Julia.

I know your first name,
tell me something else.

Like what ?

If you are single or not?

Ok, see you tomorrow, just Julia.

Why make a fuss?

The director said
that it wouldn't happen again.

They do not consider him Sudanese.
They don't do anything to him.

They say he “fits in well.”

I told you
that it was the wrong school.

You don't listen.

Let him come to the factory
do carpentry.

He is good with wood.

He will never be diplomatic.

Great Akram, thank you very much.

Then place the wood on the blade.

Danny, we're leaving.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Your whispers, your touch.

O my healer.

I miss your eyes.

My love.

Your whispers, your touch.

O my healer.

Stop, we'll get noticed.

You are beautiful.
You should wear this more often.

I washed it without
knowing it was yours.

Well now you know.
Don't tell Akram, he'll kill me.

Don't worry.

Do you come here often ?

Once a year
to listen to their new songs.

Thank you.

Always a pleasure to be here.

Who wants to join us on stage?

The gentleman over there?

Or the veiled lady?
Your friend points at you.

Come on, go ahead Mona.
No one will recognize you.

Welcome.

What do you want to sing?

O stranger, far from home,
you will definitely come back

after all this time away.

You will definitely come back.

To tell me...

What is happening to you ?
People were cheering you on.

It's not that...

You didn't want to sing?

I was dying for it
but he would have recognized me.

Akram, you scared me.
Where are you going ?

At Bakri's to watch the match,
where were you ?

At the market.

I forgot my keys upstairs.

Take mine, I'll stay here.

- Which market did you go to?
-Saad Gishra.

Well, you didn't buy anything?

No, not this time.
I just looked at the fabrics.

Nothing appealed to me.

You said a man would
recognize you, who?

A seller, we negotiated.

I told him that a veil
cost less next door

and let him go see for himself.
That's what he did.

So we left in the meantime.

Give your cell phone.

Julia!
Come here.

Where have you been ?

- At the market.
- Which ?

Saad Gishra.

You can go.

Sorry, I misunderstood.

- How much ?
- 25.

- So.
- THANKS.

Does it go with the entrance curtains?

The Greens ?

They are red.
Don't you know your curtains?

It's not my thing.
My mother-in-law had installed them.

Change them, then.

I wanted to move.
Being far from the cemetery.

But this is Akram's family home.

Should we keep
everything we inherit?

Or keep only
what do we like?

She smells like her father.

With the cemetery,
it smells like dead fathers.

By the way, I met
someone at school.

Stopped. Who is it ?
Tell me, go ahead!

Hello, Julia, are you okay?

Hello, Father.

Where will you take the exam?

In Khartoum, Father.

We are opening a school
in Juba.

- We will need assistants.
- It would be an honor.

But I don't want Daniel
change school.

OK, no problem.

If you change your mind
tell me, okay?

Thank you Father.

- Good day.
- THANKS.

You are in a rush ?

No why ?
Aren't you finished yet?

I want to show you something.

This is my first church.

That's wonderful.

I want to show you the choir
who is rehearsing for Christmas.

There is no music at the mosque.

Is that why you never go there?

- Mona El Zahi?
- Yes.

How are you ?
I'm James, I was with Jazzton.

Nice to meet you.

- Is this your friend Julia?
- Yes that's it.

You have to sing with us.

I do not want to disturb.
An other time.

No problem.
It's Christmas Carol Day.

We play everything.
The choir and the instruments are there.

It would be an honor to have you.

He is my neighbor, I am his neighbor.

When will I go to his house?

He is my neighbor, I am his neighbor.

When will I go to his house?

I only wish him heaven.

But I burn in his hell.

The man closest to my heart.

His dark skin takes my breath away.

The man closest to my heart.

His dark skin takes my breath away.

My neighbor, my neighbor.

He is my neighbor, I am his neighbor.

I saved one just for you.

Have you already received
such a cool invitation?

My son Daniel is 11 years old
and he writes better than you.

Bring him.
I would like to meet him.

I will think about it.

- Baby, I'm the neighborhood guy,
- The neighborhood guy.

I swear I'm in love,
in love with you.

- Baby, I'm the neighborhood guy,
- The neighborhood guy.

I swear I'm in love with you.

In love, in love, in love.

It was a concert
at Ahfad University.

You are so talented, Mona.

You were a real star.

That was at the Café du Parlement.

Is it Tariq's face that's cut?

- The guy who sang at the café?
- Yes.

What happened ?
Are you angry?

No, he's a good guy.

Why cut off his head then?

He caused the divorce.

- Was he in love with you?
- Akram thought so.

That's why he hates singing.
He can't stand it.

And after ?
Tell me what happened!

It's a stupid story.

We wrote
a song on the phone.

Akram called me
but it was busy.

He came home furious,

He asked me who I was talking to.
I told my mother.

I didn't want any trouble.

But he searched your cell phone.

Yes, but I deleted
Tariq's number.

He found nothing.

- So how did he know?
- He didn't find mom's call.

How did he forgive you?

I promised
to no longer sing or lie.

- But it's not true.
- Yes, I stopped singing.

And to lie?

I still lie sometimes,
but better.

I don't get caught.

Why lie
when can we tell the truth?

I do not really know.

The truth is not always good to tell.

What if someone lied to you?

- You wouldn't be angry?
- It depends on his intention.

The power comes back.

Are we listening to Daloka?

It's okay with me.

- Danny, come sing.
- I don't know the song.

So come dance.

Emotions are running high,
because of hatred

between the North and the South.

Mona, where is the tea?

It's almost ready.

- Where are the birds?
- I freed them.

For what ?

It pained me to keep them
caged for no reason.

Do you think you saved them?
They are going to die.

They do not know
feed themselves.

This is stupid sentimentality.

You should have told me about this before.

Keep the cage open,
maybe they will come back.

I think the proposal
advanced by the other party

is arrogant
and with racist connotations.

Anything.

He talks a lot about racism,

but he would not leave his daughter
with a Southerner.

It's politicians,
they just talk.

It serves imperialist interests
Israelis in these regions.

How are you ?

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Don't you do this for everyone?

Who said I did it?

- Major.
- Daniel.

Are you in sixth grade?

Are you in the army?

In the SPLM, it's almost the same thing.

Are these real?

They shoot ?

Do you want to shoot?

All right.

Can I get another one?

You can,
but without blowing everything up.

Give him another one.

Come, don't be afraid.

Where are we going ?

Come.

You live by the river.

I would like a son like Daniel.

Take it, you'll be doing me a favor.

Is he coming with his mother?

Come, the water is coming from the South.

Do you want Danny or his mother?

I want all.

I want a child, a house
and a woman to love.

You don't have a woman to love?

When war kills your whole family

anger stops you
to have a new one.

Are you not angry anymore?

You reconciled
with your assassins?

I forgave them

but we did not make peace.

How so ?

Peace is made with others.

Forgiveness with oneself,

to live and move forward.

Come south.
We will build a home together.

I can't, Majier.

Do you still think about Santino?

He is dead.

I can call people
of the government

and get you some info.

It's not your business.

I do not need you.

You think that
as you speak Arabic well,

Are you a “Jalaba”?
One of them?

The “Mondokoros” will not be
not there for you in the end.

Julia.

These are the apology letters
parents of students.

They swear it won't happen again.

Great, so much the better.

Why are you so cold?
Be happy for me, for once.

For you ?

You do it for you
or for Daniel?

It's just ink on paper.

They will all be fired
if they vote for separation.

All your work will have been for nothing.

Hello.

I didn't think you would answer.
It was random.

Happy New Year, Mona.

Happy New Year, Tariq.
How are you doing ?

GOOD. I heard
that you sang in church.

It was not expected.
I was with a friend.

How did you know ?

James told me. Your friend,
Is that the one who was at the concert?

Listen Mona.
We want to reform the group from before.

People are asking for you.
We're ready if you are.

I stopped singing, Tariq.

But thank you for the suggestion.

Don't decide there, take your time.

I'll think about it.
I have to hang up.

Vote.

Why are we separating?

We separate to live
safe

and in peace.

We separate so that
each of us

live life to the fullest.

- Where did you find this motorcycle?
- Get out, kid.

- It's my father's.
- Get the hell out of here. Come on.

Mom, Akram is not coming home
just to change, then he leaves.

But everything is fine.

Akram is a man, my daughter, he...

Aunt Mona, I found the motorcycle
from my father to the neighbor's house.

Mom, I'll call you back.

- Maybe it's just the same.
- It is registered 1955.

Stay here.
I am going to ask. I will be back.

Load everything.
Leave the motorcycle for last.

Hello Bakri, are you moving?

No, I'm just making room.

We can't imagine everything we have.

You are quite right.

The little Southerner is yours,
that's it ?

He's the maid's son.

Do not worry.
He makes up stories.

He says it's his father's motorcycle.
Do you know who it is?

He lies.
It's all his father's.

I know his father.
He sometimes works for us.

Okay, no problem then.

- Thank you and sorry for that.
- Don't talk about it.

What did he say ?

You were right Danny,
It's your father's motorcycle.

Bakri says
that a Southerner sold to him.

He wanted money to leave.

It was 4 or 5 years ago.

He's a liar.

Why would he lie?

I'm sorry Danny.

It looks like
that your father will not come back.

Listen,
I know you are very disappointed.

But you're a big boy.

If Julia finds out,
This will break his heart.

She begins to turn the page.

You do not want
make her unhappy?

Promise me, it's our secret.

No one else has to know.

Our most Holy Father,
we ask you to give

victory to our leader,
Doctor John.

Our leader who fights

for Abyei’s cause.

Give victory to our leader
Dr. John.

Here is Bor
where the revolution started.

And the people of Hagar

who supported the revolution.

Aweil celebrated the success
of the revolution.

The Twic people mobilized.

And the Reks joined
the revolution.

The Nuer led us
towards victory.

The Ngoks continued
the revolution.

Enter your name, age and gender.

Then enter
and vote unity or separation.

Tell the women
let the fight continue.

Generation after generation.

Our young men stood up
and took up arms.

And the women led us

towards the path to liberation.

For rebirth
of our country,

they raised their children.

And all these efforts,
for our real country, the South.

Does your neighbor ride a motorcycle?

Bakri, does he ride a motorbike?

Why would he do that?
He has a car.

What do you have ?

Nothing, I'm just tired.

Ok, finish the piece
and go rest.

This generous land

grows flowers
among the thorns,

this same beloved land...

Akram.

Did you hurt your hand?

I cut myself on the dishes.

Listen, Akram.

I need to talk to you.

Tariq called me.

And ?

He learned
that I sang at Julia's school.

He thought I was back.

He needs a singer.

I refused.
The call lasted less than 2 minutes.

You have sung ?

I'm sorry.

Why did you answer?

I didn't know it was him.

There is something else.

I know I am sterile.

I do not have
polycystic ovarian syndrome.

The doctor told me so.

And I didn't tell you anything.

I was afraid you were going to divorce.

Yours.

Play, man.

He blocked the play.

Daniel. What's the matter ?

Julia?

Are you okay Mona?

Sit down.

I have something to tell you.

I don't know
if you will forgive me.

Who are you ?
What are you doing at my house?

On your knees!

Asshole slave.

What's the matter ? Tell me ?

Mona.

We didn't meet by chance.

It's not smart to shoot in the air.
You should have shot me.

I know you love
shoot the Southerners.

No more gesture! Drop that gun!

Major!

Are you crazy or what ?!

What are you doing here?

You know you live with
the guy who killed your husband?

- Killed who? I don't know her husband.
- Shut up !

Take him away.

Is this the man
who killed Santino Mabior?

Yes it's him.

It doesn't concern you.
I told you to leave me!

You don't want to come with me
for these Mondokoro

alors que tu sais
that he killed your husband?

And what's more, you're their maid?!

It's none of your business.
No one asked for your help!

Yes, Daniel.

He wanted to know about his father.

And there this man
calls me an asshole slave.

If he doesn't ask for forgiveness,

I throw him in prison

Majier,

for God's sake,

do not do that.
It is my family.

What ?

If you agree to be humiliated,
It's up to you.

If you want to be their maid,
as you wish.

But I don't accept dishonor.

Akram, please apologize.
Do it for me.

Don't make the situation worse.

Excuse me officer.

I was wrong, forgive me.

A woman who betrays
her man for so little

doesn't deserve my love.

Take your son and get out.

I never want to see you again.

Come on, Danny.

Daniel.

That's the key.

I'll knock tomorrow morning.

If he is hungry,
there is a grocery store next door.

I left some money in the drawer.

OK my beautiful ?

May God protect you.

Thank you, Mr. Mirghany.

Danny.

We killed a man, Akram.

It's the least I could do.

I did it alone.
I didn't want to involve you.

To say that you protected me
does not justify anything.

You were afraid of divorce.

And don't make me feel guilty
for this man.

I was protecting my home.

But it wasn't
of self-defense.

You killed him
because he was a Southerner.

I killed him because you lied!

We all lied, Akram.

And you chose
to lie to yourself.

What do you mean ?

That I'm wrong?

That I'm racist trash?

Yes, I was wrong

to take you back while
You will never change.

Why did you do it then?

Because I love you.

But loving you is one thing.

Trust you, another one.

This is the first time you've said it
since our separation.

You actually don't love me.

You don't even know who I am.

Even in bed.

You don't know what I like or not.

You never ask.

You like a version of me
that you created in your head.

You want me to be her.

I know you very well, Mona.

I do not see
what are you getting at.

I want you to learn
to know me.

Maybe then you will love me.

I'm not who you imagine.

But I'm not bad.

Yes, I understand now.

You want to go back to singing, right?

Don't beat around the bush.

Your speech,
your confession yesterday.

That was why.

Yes Akram, I want to sing.

But I don't want to lie anymore.

I'm so tired.

I want to be with you without fear.

Tell you about my day,
listen to yours.

Speaking without thinking

and you would listen without judging.

OK very good.

I understand.

But I have a question.

Didn’t you keep Tariq’s number?

It's late.

You will sleep here tonight.

I'm going to sleep somewhere else.

Tomorrow, pack your bags and leave.

Sing, Mona.

Do what you want.

Hundreds

of South Sudanese celebrated

when the results are announced

which allow them
to found a new state.

More than 98% of Sudanese voters

chose to separate from the North

in the frame
of the 2005 peace agreement,

ending
to decades of bloodshed.

The results of the referendum
are in favor of secession,

with almost 99% of the votes.

The UN and the EU
described the procedure

of the referendum as being
largely transparent.

International observers
included figures...

IOM announced

departure
thousands of Southerners

from Kosti port by boat

to the towns of Wau and Aweil
of the new nation of South Sudan.

Deportations are organized

with assistance
of the National Travel Center...

...marked by two civil wars
of 5 decades

and a number
countless victims.

The largest country in Africa

is now split in two.

Square root of 9?

3.

- Square root of 4?
- 2.

- Square root of 1?
- 1.

It's here, Madam.

When did you know?

The very first me.

How ?

Because I put Danny
in this school ?

Something was wrong.

Nobody paid me that much.

And you bought me all this wayka

when you don't even use it.

I had a hunch.

How did you find ?

It was me who found
Santino's wallet. Not Danny.

Did you scribble the ID card?

He would have kept her
if he had seen his father's photo.

Is this an interrogation?

I came to apologize.

In fact, it was you who lied to us.

It depends on the intention,
not true ?

What intention?
You took advantage of me.

You killed my husband
and you still have the audacity to speak?

What was I supposed to do?

To call the police ?

You would have gotten away with it.

You have decided to pay your debt
in this way.

I had to accept
for my son.

If I hadn't been
so worried about him,

I would have killed you both.

Did I take advantage of you?

It's the opposite.

You took advantage of our distress
and our loneliness.

Where is Danny?

I miss him so much.

What scares us at the start,

is that we will see the end one day.

I won't be able to live without you.

You couldn't be with me.

Keep your memories close to you.

My apologies weren't enough.

Leave a smile behind
so that I can see it.

When I talk to myself in the mirror,

tell me how

I can survive another fall

without you by my side.

When only your shadow remains.

Tell me.

Can I survive another fall

without you by my side?

When only your shadow remains.

What makes the ending so scary,

it's the stubborn memory of the beginning

and realize that I live without you.

Without you by my side.
