Hello.

On what date

is the Jazzton Band concert?

What time on Friday?

Five o'clock?

Okay, thank you very much.

- Akram, it's done.
- Okay, I'm coming.

Are there no eggs?

I made beans

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

That's not necessary.

Are you still working on Friday?

Yes, we have many orders.

I leave after prayer,
Why?

Nothing, I'm thinking of buying fish.

- Look at those bastards!
- What's going on?

The network no longer works. They have to
announced the death.

Stay here, I'm going to close the gate.

Akram! They're burning Bakri's car!

Is it the police?

It's Bakri, he has a gun.

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

The president has confirmed
the death of the 1st Vice President

and leader of the
Independence movement, the SPLM,

John Garang,
in a helicopter accident

during his return from Uganda.

The Sudanese government has it
Naivasha peace deal renewed

that ended
to a 50-year civil war

and the Confederates the right
guaranteed self-determination

at the end of the transition period.

“To Allah we belong
and to Him we return.”

Latest news:
casualties among the Northerners

after the riots that took place

in various neighborhoods of Khartoum.

There is no God but Allah.

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

- Hello.
- Hello.

Sorry, Santino,
the residents want you to leave.

Why? Because of the riots?

- How is that my fault?
- I know.

I've arranged for them to come to you
let us stay another day to leave.

I didn't do anything.

I am against the riots,
they know that.

I pay my rent Haj Ahmed,
it's unfair.

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

I have your money.

The full rent.
Sorry.

Here, here are your 3 bottles.

Julia?

- Hello Daniel, how are you?
- Okay, Achole?

It's going very well, thank God.

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

- God bless you.
- I'm fine, thank God.

Come in, please.

Sorry, I have to make a small delivery.

I'll be right back.

- No problem, just be careful.
- Yes.

Thank God you are doing well.

It's very dangerous
in some neighborhoods.

Sorry Achole,

we are bothering you
until it is quiet.

You are my brother.
You are at home here.

It's not much.

The neighbors are nice,
they will not bother you.

I made room for you,
you will feel at ease.

It's a Russian gun.

It contains 5 bullets.

Four in the warehouse, here

and one in the loop.

You place the flask
against your shoulder,

you strain it,

then you do this,

and you're done.

You aim and you shoot.

Is there no Jazzton Band tonight?

Sorry madam,
because of the riots

they had to cancel.
They play next week.

In that case,
I'll be back.

- Thank you.
- Don't mention it.

Good. We're going to repeat the same exercise.

What's going on?

The road is blocked.
They arrest the rioters.

Sing every note
just once,

to better
use your vocal cords

and improve the sound,

by controlling your breathing.

Start at the diaphragm,

through the larynx,
up to the vocal cords.

"I'm coming home.
Do you need anything?”

The vocal cords
produce the nuts.

- That's not your job.
- Let me do it.

- Go ahead.
- Okay.

It's still dirty.

- Where's Achole?
- She's getting charcoal.

You see, Danny, everything is clean.

Go empty the bucket outside.

Santino, I'm not in the mood.

Khamis is sleeping
and Danny will be back in 2 minutes.

Two minutes is a long time.

I water the trees in 10 seconds.

We're being watched.

Are we staying here long?

2, 3 weeks
until we find something.

Another 2 weeks?

There is no water,
no electricity, no gas.

You don't even go to the studio anymore.

Why are you in a hurry?

The Arabs
attacking Confederates everywhere.

I was in a good mood,
don't screw it up.

We would enter a new time,

we need to evolve and...

A breathing lesson
for better control.

Let's take a deep breath

and try again.

Danny, are you okay?

Danny?

Are you blind?!

I call my husband
he calls an ambulance.

Open the door.
Why is it closed?

What kind of chaos is this? Stop!

Danny, are you okay?

- You're not okay?
- Get him.

Stop! Stop!

Stop the car!

Akram! A Confederate is chasing me!

- Stop!
- Where are you?

- Don't know.
- Stop the car!

I don't know, Akram.

- Do you drive?
- Yes.

- Stop!
- Come home quickly!

Okay, I'm coming!

- Akram, wait!
- Go inside.

- Akram, listen!
- Go inside!

Stop there!

Are you pointing a gun at me?

I said stop!

- Your name?
- Akram Mohamed Omar Al Makk.

- Your age?
- 39 years.

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

- Who called?
- Me, officer.

Bakri Kamil,
head of the local committee.

- Nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

- You have to come with us.
- Okay.

Akram, your keys.

The victim's belongings?

Nothing.

I took the motorcycle

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 Confederate,

who chased his wife.

We're on our way to the station.

Thank you, sir.

God bless you.

Good evening.
I want to report it missing

from my husband.

His name?

Santino Mabior.

- Where do you live?
- Around the corner.

He's probably drunk somewhere.

He doesn't drink.

Sit down. I'm going to check it.

- What does she want?
- Her husband has disappeared.

Cover that, this is a police station.

The lieutenant,
what's his name again?

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

He said we should call him
when they bothered us.

The problem was solved
en route.

If we had waited
had it been different,

but luckily he acted quickly.

And thank God, your wife is fine.

We are in danger,
be careful.

Okay, I'm going, rest.

- Stay, Bakri.
- Thank you, my brother.

- Thank you.
- No problem.

- Hello.
- Thanks again.

Everthing okay?

What is?
Did he hurt you?

Are you afraid?

Are you concerned?

It was self-defense,
nothing more.

Take this, don't think about it too much.

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

He came to me half naked,
God knows what he would do.

You could have aimed for his leg.

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

I said stop, he continued,
I shot.

Have you seen him?

He wanted to kill you
that's the only explanation.

- I wish he would.
-Mona.

Did you know him?

Do you know what he wanted from you?

How would I know that?

Then why me?
make you feel guilty?

A man is dead, damn it!

- You weren't hit?
- That's not the question!

I protected 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 the doctor.

Was that really necessary?
It's chaos outside.

Was it indispensable?

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

Don't worry.

You'll get over it.

Take the pills,
they help you sleep.

Tomorrow is a new day.

That's 8 photos in 4 by 6

and the group photo,
here it is for you.

- Thank you.
- Don't mention it.

Julia, how are you?
Glad to see you.

Where is Santino,
why isn't he there?

I'm here for him, Mr. Mirghani.

- He didn't come?
- Not for a few days.

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

Not since Garang's death.

OK, I'll continue.
Thanks anyway.

Good luck, beautiful.
May God protect you.

Have you found Dad?

- Khamis, have you found Santino?
- No, unfortunately not.

Nor in the hospital,
nor in prison.

I called the family
no one saw him.

We can leave Daniel here,

and go see it tomorrow
among the victims.

O merciful Lord,

we lay
these souls in your hands.

We believe that the dead,
will rise in Christ.

We praise you, O God
that you have sent your Son

and us the gates of
you opened the heavens.

So that we may come to you
abide, O Eternal One,

and that you rule
forever and ever.

Amen.

My brothers and sisters in Christ,

The prophet Isaiah tells us this:

Formerly, before the coming of Christ,

God has told us that He

death would destroy forever.

He will wipe away our tears.

Be patient, my sister.

- You have no right.
- Let me.

- Take her.

- Let me, Khamis,
I want to find him.

- Get her out of here.
- Let me find him.

How are you feeling? Better?

Much better. What is that?

Songbirds.

They keep you company
and cheer you up.

Feed them twice a day.

- Hello.
- Hello.

-Mrs Mona?
- Yes.

Officer Kamal is waiting for you.

Welcome, ma'am. Water?

No thank you, I just have one question,
it doesn't take long.

Check these files.

How can I help you?

You spoke on the phone
about last month's incident?

Honestly, I came
without telling Akram.

I would like to know the family of
want to reach the victim.

Why?

I want to see if I can pay
"the blood price" or can help them.

Maybe they were dependent on him.
I need your help.

Unfortunately
we know nothing about him.

He's an unknown
no one came looking for him.

I can't do anything.

Please let me know
if anyone is looking for him?

Listen madam,
I understand your position

but this case is closed
under article 51:

an unknown person killed by unknown persons.

When we claim the body,
then it is murder in the first degree.

Do you understand?

Yes, I understand. Thank you.

Madam.

- I think I can help you.
- Real?

I have a copy of the report

and his wallet that
has been removed from the evidence.

That may be useful to you.
You will know his name

and whether he has any family.
This way you will have certainty.

Meet me behind the station in 15 minutes.
Take my number.

Cause of death after investigation:
Crushing during the riots.

Driver's license.

Mona, the workers are here.

Come in.

- Good day.
- Good day.

- Cut 20 cm in this frame.
- Okay.

Call the painter for the ceiling.
It's still leaking.

Make alcohol
instead of mashing wayka.

Hey you there!

What's wrong?

Why are you looking at us?

You should be ashamed.

Let's go, let the device in.

Hurry, Danny.

Julia, that's Mariam's place.

It's warm there.
Who are you? Are you from the municipality?

Mind your own business.

I'm warning you, I'll tell her
that you took her place.

Take her on your lap
if you love her so much.

Hello sister.

What do you need?

A little wayka. How much does it cost?

5 for the big one, 3 for the little one.
How much do you want?

A lot, if all goes well.

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

- What's your name?
- Julia.

- Is that your son?
- Yes, my son, Daniel.

God bless him. I'm Mona.

10 large bags, please.

Fine.
Is it for an occasion?

No, I freeze them.

Are you here often?

Every day, I never leave.

10 large bags and one free
so you come back.

Thank you very much.

Do you want something else?

I'm looking for a housekeeper.

Are you okay, Daniel?

Say hello to Auntie.

Come taste,
while your mother is ready.

Thank you very much.

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

I mean,
where does your family come from?

A small town called Kodok,
do you know it?

- No, not at all.
- Near Malakal.

I know Malakal.

I don't remember.
I came to Khartoum as a child.

Don't you ever 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 with me

away from the war,
visit the pyramids.

The war is over.

The war never stops here.
Tomorrow it starts again.

I am now from Khartoum.
I hardly 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 ready.
- Naturally.

- Thank you.
- Don't mention it.

It's too much, Mona.

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

Yes, tell me
what you need.

Cleaning, washing,
I can do anything.

I have a housekeeper
but she is not very regular.

- You can have her place.
- I'd like that. More wayka.

I'll arrive early.

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

Are you tired?

Destroy the tents.
Drop them.

Collect the evidence.

Break it all down and stack it up for me.

Everything on the ground.

Break everything down.

Come on.

We move.

Climb in there.

What's going on?

The shitty neighbor reported us.
Let him suffocate.

Silence.
Get out or I'll arrest you too.

There, officer, I'm sitting.

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

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

Come out of there, woman.
We're going to set it on fire.

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

Sorry.
I had a problem at home.

And the rest of my family
lives too far away.

Okay, I'll wait until 9 o'clock.

But no,
what happened to you?

We've been evicted.

But why?

A family member sells alcohol.

If you live far away,
how are you coming tomorrow?

I'll arrange it.
Once it's clean you'll be fine.

There is a broom behind it.

Thank you, Mona,
may God bless you.

May peace and grace
from Allah over you.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Who is that?
- The new cleaning lady.

Is she going to live here?

I thought you didn't
housekeeper wanted?

She lives too far away.

That wouldn't be possible.

- Are you bringing breakfast?
- No, it's okay.

From the West or South?

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

- What's her name?
- Julia.

So she's Southern.

Does she also have a son?

A neighbor
highly recommended her.

I like that she is a mother.

The bachelors are coming
pregnant back from the weekend.

Do you think she will be different?

The Confederates are animals.

Like lost dogs.

They are not ashamed.

The woman goes to the
son-in-law once the husband dies.

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

OK, but she won't cook.

I already told her that.

Where is the painting?

I took it away. I find
it's not pretty. I will replace it.

Good. Bakri said the other day
that it was cursed.

Cursed?

He said the houses where it
was, burned down or damaged.

Anyway, see you later. Bye.

Come on, go open the gate.

Dear viewers,

this was our report for the week

of the festivities in Khartoum,

declared Capital
of Arab Culture 2005.

After our meal, I leave

yours here.

The dishes marked
with red is for you.

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

We mainly stay on this floor.

Downstairs is Akram's studio.

It's morning, my love

The cheerful nightingale is miserable
came to you. Oh, darling.

It's morning, my love

The cheerful nightingale is miserable
came to you. Oh, darling.

He has come to tell you
tell him he has come to complain

about his constant
longing for you, my love.

Mona, you have the wayka
not put in the freezer.

Oh, I forgot. Do it.

Your hand on his shoulder.

Smile.

Thank you. This way, please.

Mr. Mirghany, how are you?

Hello Julia. It's going well.

- And you? Will you keep it up? - Thank God.

It hurts not to know where he is.

I thought he was going to call you
when he went somewhere.

I'll leave you the number of where I work.

Give it to him when he calls.

Naturally.

Here, this is his last paycheck.

Take and if you want more
need, don't hesitate.

I'm like your father.

- Thank you, Mr. Mirghany. - Don't mention it.

Your tests clearly show that

your infertility is not to blame

to polycystic ovary syndrome

but rather to one
premature ovarian failure.

There is no treatment, sorry.

Sperm injections, hormone treatments,

but nothing is certain.

Julia?

Things not going well?

What is that? An identity card?

Whose is it? Here, take it back.

Are you back?

What did the doctor say?

The doctor?

Same thing, polycystic ovary syndrome.

Doesn't he want to operate?

It's not necessary. I respond
well on the treatment.

We continue, there is hope.

If God wills it.

Don't dig in my cupboards!
Where's the wallet?

I have it because I
try to find your father.

Wanna find him, huh?

Okay, but if you tell your mother,

I'll throw you outside. You have
nowhere to go.

And no one will look for your father, okay?

Why did you do that to his face?

Don't take it from him
bad. He loves you very much.

Mona.

I would like a loan.

School starts, there is a bag
and need a uniform for Danny.

Does he go to school?

It's his first year.

At which school?

I will attend a public school
found around here.

How does he get there?

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

There is a private school next to it
the end of the street.

He can go there alone.

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

May God help us to you
pay for everything you do.

It's nothing. It pleases me.

Don't stand there,
Help me. Hold this.

You're not very talkative, are you?

Does this device work?

I have one that works, do you want it?

Here.

Come on, hold the wood.

- Who owns the device?
- It's from my father.

- Your father?
- Yes.

Where is your father?

Look what I got!

Happiness. Take a picture and show me.

Hey you, wait.

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

It's been two months
left. He never came back.

Have you asked the hospitals?
Or maybe he's in jail...

I've looked everywhere. I
didn't find him.

- What's his full name?
- Santino Mabior.

Very good.

I know a lieutenant who...
you could help.

I have no more calling credit. Can I have you?
use phone to call mom?

Yes, go ahead.

- Hello Mama.
- Yes, hello.

How are you?

Why are you calling Akram's phone?

- I don't have any calling credit anymore.
- Okay, how are you?

I need the recipe for Ni'aimiya.

It's very simple, write it down.

I'll put you on speaker.

- Finished?
- Yes, I'm listening.

First you cut an onion, then...

- Hello?
- Hello.

- Yes?
- Good day.

Yes, good day, who is there?

Akram's wife, do you remember me?

Sorry, I didn't remember the name.

I came across the Confederate case.

Yes, Mrs Mona.

That's right, Mona.

Why did you leave?
I wanted to greet her.

I called for a prescription.

I wanted to see if I had the ingredients.

Outgoing calls.

Call duration.

If there were no reproaches,
my love. If there is no...

Never mind, Julia.

I soaked cloves there.

Okay.

I would spread my wings like a dove.

I would ascend into space.

Give me the best.

I would leave this empty world behind.

Enough time.

Time has passed.

Being afraid of being accused.

Do you do smoking treatments?
in the South?

No, but we know it.

You have a beautiful voice.

Do you sing Sayed Khalifa?

- Do you listen to our music?
- What? Naturally.

I meant the one from the North.

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

It was me, but I stopped.

Why?

Akram gave me an ultimatum.

Stop, who would have such a beautiful one
leave a woman like you?

Yet that's why we're separated.
He took me back because I quit.

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 have long
gave up on love ago.

A good man is enough.

You're right, you should keep it.

People understand its value
only when one loses him.

Give me the blanket.

I still think about him.

What happened to him?

If he's alive, why doesn't he say anything?

Absentees have their reasons.

Sometimes I think he's gone.

It is said that men run away.

Why would he do that?

He wanted to go to Europe.

So I could finish school
and could go to university.

So that I could become someone.

But I refused.

We can't even swim.
How to cross in a boat?

I would have liked to have said yes.

Then we wouldn't be here.

Daniel starts school soon.

You could resume your studies
and be able to go to university.

Daniel can stay with me.

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

Don't worry, I know a good place.

Are you okay, ma'am?

Yes, thank you.

What did Akram say?

He was looking for a missing Southerner.

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

Okay, and if he calls, what will you say?

That I have no trace anywhere
found from him.

If he calls back, don't answer.

Good. Thank you.

Happy to help you, ma'am.

I can pretend to be Kamal.

I can even pretend
Akram am if you want.

Listen to me, aren't you ashamed?

You will not blackmail me.

At the first inappropriate
movement I call for help.

Akram would be angry with me,
but he would kill you, okay?

Do you want the money?

I'm sorry, forgive me.

Do you want the money or not?
Don't apologize.

It's a misunderstanding.

Take your motorcycle and leave. Shame on you.

Do you think it will work?

Maybe, God willing.

God is generous.

Besides, you can fumigate more often,

not just when you are ovulating.

So the Southerner stays.

Yes. She keeps me company and works well.

Have you registered her child?
at the local school?

Yes.

Really, Mona?

What?
I paid with my inheritance.

It's not about the price.

That school is not for him.
Put him in public school.

Why?

He won't adapt
he will only suffer.

How long do you plan to pay?

When she leaves,
will you continue to pay for him?

Maybe.

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

He can walk.

You're going too far with them.

What do you mean?

Find a neighbor
someone to go out with.

Not with the slave.

Don't call her that.

But that's what she is.

Not so long ago
there were still slaves with my grandfather.

May God forgive you.
He said we are all equal.

He spoke of free people,
not about slaves.

Slavery would not be otherwise
be in Islam.

We will never evolve
with people like you.

Just yesterday,
didn't you know Garang,

and now you're an activist?

You always said slave.
And not anymore?

I've stopped.
I never said it to their faces.

Nor did I treat people differently
because they are Southern.

Because you know one?

There are millions of Confederates
in Khartoum.

Do you know anyone other than her?

That's not the question.

Oh yeah? You are part of society
that you call racist.

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

Besides, you treat them differently.

- I?
- Yes.

You sleep with the air conditioning on,

while she cooks
in the shed.

You rest
while she serves you for next to nothing.

What kind of friendship is that?

It's not slavery
it has nothing to do with her origins.

- It's just work, that's all.
- That we, Arabs, don't do.

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

You know I'm right.

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

So, please.

Ask about father Peter,
he is waiting for you.

The school is behind the church.

Why isn't Achole voting here
before she leaves?

People are already celebrating there.

- She can make money.
- More than here?

There is branded liquor,
who would buy hers?

Our men don't like
industrial alcohol.

Get one of her bottles
before she leaves.

I want to try the arrack at least once.

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

By the way, we're going to that place
or not?

Hello, Danny.

What's going on?

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

I want to work
with Uncle Akram in the factory.

Julia, grab your bag.
I'll take you and pick him up.

- 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.

Do you want to tell me?
what happened at school?

- The boys are bullying me.
- What did they say?

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

My sister Alek woke me up
and said:

"Major, the Arab army is here."

I heard the Kalashnikovs.

Our entire family was murdered.
Alek and I fled.

We crossed the river

to enter the jungle.

We fled for a very long time.

My sister was very sick
and she died.

I left her there,
without burying her.

I walked on until I
reached an APLS camp.

I was recruited by the People's Army.

I took up arms when I was twelve.

I know the war, my brothers.

It has to stop,

for our people and our children.

Who is that?

The people's liberation movement.

- What do they want?
- It's about the referendum.

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

- You too?
- You should come.

My sister speaking there,

would you like to share with us?

I just said
that I'm not going to Djouba.

A girl from Khartoum.

So, what are you voting for?

Unit. We are all brothers,
we share the same country.

Listen to me,

they are our brothers
for their own interests.

Bashir's government

only wants peace and unity

for the oil.

If they have it
it will be like before again.

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

If Al Abbas was alive
he wouldn't believe it.

We want the divorce.
The "Jalaba" is not reliable.

Don't say that at school.

My brothers, in the past

one commander mentioned the Arabs

"Mondokoro", "Jalaba".

He thought racism without authority

was resistance.

Now we have the authority.

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

If we can forgive the Northerners
and forget,

then we can heal
and build a home.

SPLM, Oyé!

SPLM, Oyé!

Divorce, Oyé!

Divorce, Oyé!

Divorce, Oyé!

The SPLM sent me to America

to study there.

- Have you graduated?
- Yes.

Excuse me.

Julia.

That's Julia, right?

Sorry for embarrassing you
for your friends.

It's no big deal.

I am Majier Mulual Majok
of the SPLM.

Former lieutenant of the People's Army.

- I'm Julia.
- Julia who?

Just Julia.

I know your first name,
tell me something else.

Like what?

Whether you are single or not?

Okay, see you tomorrow, just Julia.

Why make things difficult?

The director said
that it wouldn't happen again.

They don't consider him Sudanese.
They don't hurt him.

They say he "integrates well".

I told you
that it was the wrong school.

You're not listening.

Let him come to the factory
to do woodworking.

He is good with wood.

He will never become a diplomat.

Great Akram, thank you very much.

Then place the wood on the top.

Danny, let's go.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Your whisper, your touch.

O my healer.

I miss your eyes.

My love.

Your whisper, your touch.

O my healer.

Stop, we'll stand out.

You are beautiful.
You should wear this more often.

I washed it without it
to know it was yours.

Well, now you know. Don't say anything
to Akram, he would 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 there?

Or the veiled lady?
Your girlfriend points at you.

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

Welcome.

What do you want to sing?

O stranger, far from home,
you will definitely return

after all this time away.

You will definitely return.

To tell me...

What's wrong with you?
The people encouraged you.

That's not it...

Didn't you want to sing?

I really wanted it
but he would have recognized me.

Akram, you scared me.
Where are you going?

To Bakri to watch the match,
where were you?

On the market.

I forgot my keys upstairs.

Take mine, I'll stay here.

- Which market have you been to?
-Saad Gishra.

Well, didn't you buy anything?

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

Nothing appealed to me.

You said a man would take you
recognize, who?

A salesman, we were
negotiating.

I told him that a veil
was cheaper further down the road

and that he had to go and see for himself.
He did.

So we left in the meantime.

Give me your phone.

Julia!
Come here.

Where were you?

- On the market.
- Which one?

Saad Gishra.

You can go.

Sorry, I misunderstood.

- How many?
- 25.

- Please.
- Thank you.

Does it match the curtains at the entrance?

The green one?

They are red.
Don't know your curtains?

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

Then replace them.

I wanted to move.
Far away from the cemetery.

But it is Akram's family home.

Should we keep everything?
what we inherit?

Or just keep it
what we like?

It smells like his father.

With the cemetery there,
it's a lot of dead father smells.

By the way, I met someone
at school.

Stop. Who is it?
Tell me, keep going!

Hello, Julia, how are you?

Hello, Father.

Where do you take the exam?

In Khartoum, Father.

We open a school
in Djouba.

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

But I don't want Daniel
changes schools.

OK, no problem.

If you change your mind,
let me know, okay?

Thank you, Father.

- Nice day.
- Thank you.

Are you in a hurry?

No, why?
Not ready yet?

I want to show you something.

It's my first church.

It's beautiful.

I want to show you the choir
that practices for Christmas.

There is no music in 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 that your friend Julia?
- Yes, that's right.

You must sing with us.

I don't want to disturb you.
Next time.

No problem.
It is the day of Christmas carols.

We play everything.
The choir and instruments are there.

It would be an honor
to have you there.

He is my neighbor, I am his neighbor.

When do I go to him?

He is my neighbor, I am his neighbor.

When do I go to him?

I wish him only paradise.

But I'm burning 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 ever
received such a cool invitation?

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

Bring him.
I would like to meet him.

I'll think about it.

- Honey, I'm the boy from the neighborhood,
- The boy from the neighborhood.

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

- Honey, I'm the boy from the neighborhood,
- The boy from the neighborhood.

I swear I'm in love with you.

In love, in love, in love.

It was a concert
at Ahfad University.

You're so talented, Mona.

You were a real star.

That was in the Parliament Café.

Is that Tariq's face cut off?

- The boy who sang in the cafe?
- Yes.

What happened?
Are you angry?

No, he's a good guy.

Then why cut off his head?

He was the cause of the divorce.

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

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

And after that?
Tell me what happened!

It's a stupid story.

We wrote
a song on the phone.

Akram called me
but it was in conversation.

He came home angry,

He asked who I was talking to.
I said with my mother.

I didn't want any problems.

But he searched your phone.

Yes, but I had
Tariq's number deleted.

He found nothing.

- Then how did he know?
- He didn't like the conversation with mom.

How did he forgive you?

I promised
no more singing or lying.

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

And with lying?

I'm still lying
but better.

I won't get caught.

Why lie
if you can tell the truth?

I don't really know.

The truth is not
always good to say.

What if someone lied to you?

- Wouldn't you be angry?
- That depends on his intention.

The power comes back.

Are we listening to Daloka?

Fine.

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

Then come dance.

The emotions are high,
because of the hate

between North and South.

Mona, where's the tea?

He's almost done.

- Where are the birds?
- I released them.

Why?

It hurt me
to keep in a cage for no reason.

Do you think you saved them?
They die.

They don't know
how to feed themselves.

It's stupid sentimentalism.

You should have told me first.

Leave the cage open,
maybe they'll come back.

I think the proposal
of the other party

is arrogant
and has racist undertones.

Nonsense.

He talks a lot about racism,

but he would be his daughter
Don't leave it with a Confederate.

They are politicians,
they just talk.

It serves the imperialist
Israel's interests in these regions.

Are you okay?

Merry christmas.

Merry christmas.

Don't you do that for everyone?

Who said I did it?

- Major.
-Daniel.

Are you in sixth grade?

Are you in the military?

With the SPLM, it's almost the same.

Are they real?

Are they shooting?

Do you want to shoot?

Okay.

Can I shoot another one?

That's allowed,
but without blowing everything up.

Give him another one.

Come, don't be afraid.

Where are we going?

Come.

You live on the river.

I would like a son like Daniel.

Take it, you're doing me a favor.

Is he coming with his mother?

Come, the water comes from the South.

Do you want Danny or his mother?

I want everything.

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

Don't you have a woman to love?

When the war kills your whole family

anger hinders you
to have a new one.

Are you no longer angry?

Have you reconciled?
with your murderers?

I have forgiven them

but we have not made peace.

What do you mean?

You make peace with the other.

Forgiveness with yourself,

to live and move forward.

Come to the South.
We build a home together.

I can't, Majier.

Are you still thinking about Santino?

He's dead.

I can like people
call the government

and get information for you.

That's none of your business.

I don't need you.

Do you think so?
because you speak Arabic well,

you are a "Jalaba"?
One of them?

The "Mondokoros" will be there
ultimately not for you.

Julia.

These are the apology letters
of the students' parents.

They swear it won't happen again.

Great, all the better.

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

For you?

You do it for yourself
or for Daniel?

It's just ink on paper.

They are all sent away
if they vote for divorce.

All your work will be for nothing.

Hello.

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

Happy New Year, Mona.

Happy New Year, Tariq.
How are you?

Good. I heard that
you sang in church.

It wasn't planned.
I was with a friend.

How did you know?

James told me. Your girlfriend,
is that the one who was at the concert?

Listen Mona.
We want to bring the old band back together.

People ask about you.
We're ready when you are.

I stopped singing, Tariq.

But thanks for the offer.

Don't decide now, take your time.

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

Vote.

Why do we divorce?

We separate to live safely

and in peace.

We separate so that
each of us

can live his life to the fullest.

- Where did you find that motorcycle?
- Go away, boy.

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

Mom, Akram dies alone at home
to change clothes, then he leaves again.

But all is well.

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

Aunt Mona, I found the motorcycle
from my father next door.

Mom, I'll call you back.

- It might just be the same.
- It was registered in 1955.

Stay here.
I'm going to ask. I'll be back.

Load everything.
Leave the engine for last.

Hello Bakri, are you moving?

No, I'm just making room.

You can't imagine
what we all have.

You're right.

That little Southern one is yours,
right?

It's the housekeeper's son.

Don't worry.
He makes up stories.

He says it's the engine of his
father is. Do you know whose it is?

He lies.
Everything belongs to his father.

I know his father.
He works for us sometimes.

Well, then there's no problem.

- Thank you and sorry about that.
- No problem.

What did he say?

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

Bakri says
that a Confederate sold it.

He wanted money to leave.

That was 4 or 5 years ago.

He's a liar.

Why would he lie?

I'm sorry Danny.

It seems like it
that your father won't come back.

Listen,
I know you are very disappointed.

But you're a big boy.

If Julia finds out,
it will break her heart.

She starts to move on.

You don't want her
make you unhappy?

Promise me, it's our secret.

No one else can know.

Our Holy Father,
we pray to you

to give victory to our leader,
Doctor John.

Our leader fighting

for the cause of Abyei.

Give victory to our leader
Dr. John.

Here's Bor
where the revolution began.

And the people of Agar

that supported the revolution.

Aweil celebrated the success
of the revolution.

The Twic mobilized.

And the Rek joined in
at the revolution.

The Nuer led us
to victory.

The Ngok continue the revolution.

Write down your name, age and gender.

Then go inside
and vote for unity or separation.

Tell the women
that the fight continues.

Generation after generation.

Our young men stood up
and took up arms.

And the women led us

to the path of liberation.

For the rebirth
of our country,

they raised their children.

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

Does your neighbor drive a motorcycle?

Bakri, does he ride a motorcycle?

Why would he do that?
He has a car.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing, I'm just tired.

Okay, finish the piece
and go rest.

This generous earth

let flowers grow
among the thorns,

this same beloved earth...

Akram.

Have you injured your hand?

I cut myself doing the dishes.

Listen, Akram.

I need to talk to you.

Tariq called me.

And?

He heard
that I sang at Julia's school.

He thought I was back.

He needs a singer.

I declined.
The conversation lasted less than 2 minutes.

Did you sing?

I'm sorry.

Why did you record?

I didn't know it was him.

There's something else.

I know I am infertile.

I don't have any
polycystic ovary syndrome.

The doctor told me.

And I didn't tell you anything.

I was afraid you would get divorced.

Up to you.

Play, man.

He blocked the play.

Daniel. What is?

Julia?

Are you not well, Mona?

Sit down.

I have to tell you something.

I don't know
whether you will forgive me.

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

On your knees!

Scumbag of a slave.

What is? Tell me?

Mona.

We didn't meet by chance.

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

I know you like it
shoots at Confederates.

No movement! Drop that gun!

Major!

Are you crazy or something?!

What are you doing here?

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

- Who killed? I don't know her husband.
- Shut up!

Take him with you.

Is this the man?
who killed Santino Mabior?

Yes, he is.

It's none of your business.
I told you to leave me alone!

Won't you come with me?
for that Mondokoro

while you know
that he killed your husband?

And besides, 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 now this man calls
me a bastard of a slave.

If he doesn't apologize,

I'll throw him in jail

Majier,

for God's sake,

don't do it.
It's my family.

What?

If you accept to be humiliated,
that's your choice.

If you want to be their maid,
that's your choice.

But I don't accept shame.

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 husband
for so little

doesn't deserve my love.

Take your son and leave.

I never want to see you again.

Come on, Danny.

Daniel.

Here's the key.

I'll knock tomorrow morning.

When he is hungry,
there is a grocery store next to it.

I left money in the drawer.

Okay, beautiful?

God bless you.

Thank you, Mr. Mirghany.

Danny.

We killed a man, Akram.

The least I could do.

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

Say you like me
protected justifies nothing.

You were afraid of the divorce.

And don't make me feel guilty about that man.

I protected my home.

But it wasn't self-defense.

You killed him
because he was a Confederate.

I killed him because you lied!

We all lied, Akram.

And you chose to deceive yourself.

What do you mean?

That I'm wrong?

That I'm a racist asshole?

Yes, I was wrong

to take you back while
you will never change.

Then why did you do it?

Because I love you.

But loving you is one thing.

You trust, another.

It's the first time
you've been saying it since we broke up.

Actually, you 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 love a version of me
that you created in your head.

You want me to be her.

I know you very well, Mona.

I don't see where you're going.

I want you to get to know me.

Maybe you'll love me then.

I'm not the one 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's what it was all about.

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.

Telling you my day, hearing yours.

Talk without thinking

and you would listen without judging.

Okay, very good.

I understand.

But I have a question.

Didn't you save Tariq's number?

It's late.

You sleep here tonight.

I'm going to sleep somewhere else.

Tomorrow, pack your bags and leave.

Sing, Mona.

Do what you want.

Hundreds

South Sudanese celebrated

when announcing the results

that allow them a
to establish a new state.

More than 98% of voters in Sudan

chose to opt out of it
to secede from the North

in the context of it
peace agreement of 2005,

which ended
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
largely transparent.

The international
observers include figures...

The IOM announced the departure

of thousands of Confederates

from Kosti port by boat

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

The deportations are organized

with the help of the National
Relocation center...

...marked by two
civil wars of 5 decades

and an untold number of 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.

Here it is, ma'am.

When did you know?

The very first month.

How?

Because I put Danny in this school?

Something wasn't right.

Nobody paid me that much.

And you bought me all that wayka

while you don't even use it yourself.

I had a premonition.

How did you find out?

I found Santino's wallet. Not Danny.

Did you scribble the ID card?

He would have kept it as
he had seen his father's photo.

Is this an interrogation?

I came to apologize.

Actually, it was you who lied to us.

It depends on the intention, right?

What intention? You
you took advantage of me.

You killed my husband and you
still have the courage to talk?

What was I supposed to do?

Call the police?

You guys would have gotten away with it.

You resolved your debt
to pay this way.

I had to accept it for my son.

If I hadn't been so worried about him,

I would have killed you both.

Have I taken advantage of you?

It's the opposite.

You have benefited from
our misery and loneliness.

Where's Danny?

I miss him so much.

What scares us at first,

is that one day we will see the end.

I can't live without you.

You couldn't be with me.

Keep your memories close to you.

My apology wasn't enough.

Leave a smile
so I can see it.

When I against
myself talking in the mirror,

tell me how

I can survive another autumn

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 frightening

is the persistent memory of the beginning

and realize that I live without you.

Without you by my side.
