Quiet.

It’s so quiet.

And beauty.

There’s so much beauty,
it fills up my heart from top to bottom.

Is that what a free man feels like?

Free of what?

Have I reached the bottom of the pit?

You might say I’ve done
the right thing, but,

What is the right thing?

Actually, does it even matter?

Let’s assume I’m doomed.

All of us.

It’s so distant from you,
you can’t even feel it.

Maybe we have sunken
a long time ago.

Maybe we can’t see
becuase it’s just too dark.

But I can see myself.

Clearer than ever.

There’s no turning back now..

Did you enjoy that?

Yeah, I think so.

How about you?

I was scared I’ll break your bone
or something.

I went easy on you.

I can go harder next time.

It was totally fine,

Can I have some?

You’re new around here?

Kind of.

Why?

Every other week
there’s a new bartender.

I have to admit, I can’t keep up.

But you seem cool.

It’s a temp job,
don’t get used to it.

This shit’s good, what is it?

Wow.

Who knows.

It’s love.

Strongest substance in the world.

You like it strong, don’t you?

Some might say that.

I’ve got something stronger for you.

Do you?

Your shit’s turning me on.

Yeah...

Yeah...

I need you to hurt me.
-Yeah?

You want that?
-Yeah,

I can do that.
-Go for it.

Yeah?
-Yeah.

Like that?
-Harder.

Like that?

Harder?
-Harder.

Harder.
-Yeah?

Turn around.

Fuck, yeah?

Yeah?
-Yeah.

Yeah.

Hold on.

Shut up.

I’m think about to faint.
-Shut up!

Leave him alone.

Step away from my son.

What’s the matter with you?

Go!

I mean it.

Shh...
-Ouch.

Come closer.
-It hurts.

Hold on tight.

Tighter.

Fuck, hold on.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from my service,

It’s that a gun and a first aid kit are like pants.

You can’t leave your house without them.

What did you do in the army?

I was a field paramedic.

Really?

Yeah.

So...

I’m in good hands.

So, what do you say, doctor?
Will I die today?

Not today, but if you’re not careful…

You can do whatever you want.

You just have to know
what it is you want.

Thanks, daddy.

What can I say?
That was the first thing that came to my mind.

Daddy.

Okay.

I think I’ll head back to the bar
to finish closing up.

Don’t be silly.
Where are you parked?

It’s fine, the bar won’t close itself.

I’ll take care of that. Don’t worry,
I won’t subtract the hours from your salary.

Where are you parked?

I don’t have a license,
I use public transport.

So let me give you a ride.

There’s no need. There’s a bus that
takes me straight home from here.

It’s not for you, it’s for me.

Why would you care?

Let me give you a ride.

What do you say?

You’ll grant me my daily Mitzvah.

Do you have roommates?

No, just me and my dog, Putin.

Putin?

Putin-Putin?

Yeah, Putin-Putin

That’s nerve wrecking.

Don’t worry, my Putin is not like Putin.
He’s a king.

All I know about Putin is that
he loves barking at his neighbors

And mark his territory.

My Putin never barks.

That idiot’s too busy chasing his own tail
and chewing the TV remote.

Hold on, it’s my daughter.

Yeah, Guli?

Dad?

Yeah?
-When are you home?

I don’t know, maybe never.

Come on.

In about an hour?

But you promised you’ll
help me with my homework.

I know, but I had something
to take care of at work in Tel Aviv.

But I promise I’ll
bring you back a surprise, okay?

Okay.

Okay, good night sweetie.
-Bye.

Bye.

Sorry.

It’s fine.

She’s sweet.

Yeah.
-How old is she?

Six.
Starting school soon.

You can pull over here,
at the crosswalk.

Don’t turn to my street,
it’s hard to get out of it.

Okay.

Okay, so...

I’ll see you tomorrow.

Take care of yourself.

Sure thing, doctor.

Goodnight.
-Goodnight.

“Wandering around the streets”

“Emotions fighting thoughts”

“Too many couples here”

“Can't believe I'm still alone hungry”

“In Tel Aviv”

Hello?
-Yeah, dad?

You’re sleeping?

Not anymore.

Make sure you have a ride for Tuesday.

It’s the one day a year you
have to get somewhere on time,

Do me a favor,

Don’t embarrass me, okay?

That’s what you care about?
If I make it there on time?

You don’t want me there, anyway, right?

Just get there by 4pm, okay?

And don’t bring Itamar this time.
This isn’t a meet-your-gal kind of night.

Meet-your-guy.

What?

Never mind, hold on.

Talk.

Are you with him?

Yeah, he’s right here,
you’re on speaker.

Ohh.

Would you rather if
I wasn’t there at all?

I told you exactly what I want.

Do you want to disappoint
your mom again?

Okay, bye dad.
Itamar’s calling me.

So tell him to wai-

Son of a bitch.

Our lives

Are filled with so many struggles,

It seems to lead us
down a dead-end street.

But why’s that?

Not just the atheists here ask that question.

But those who believe in
divine intervention, too.

Why? Why did God
create the world like that?

It’s too hard for mankind,
so they don’t question it?

They will certainly question it,
and think over it.

God can choose to make
the world good, and simple.

God made this kind of world...

Because He wants us to face hardships.

Because it’s through hardships that
we reach fulfillment, and satisfaction.

You’re familiar with the term “breaking-point”?

Yeah.
-To break,

Disaster.

A breaking point is, really,

In biblical Hebrew,
it’s also the cervix

Of a woman’s womb,
where a baby is born out of.

Life is created.
-Exactly!

Life is born.
Out of the breaking point, life is born.

Nice.

Dudi... Life is born, that’s amazing.

The breaking point creates life.

By the way...

All creation is creation.

To create, the creation, the creator...

These words are all related.

But that’s for next week.

Drink up.

Next week, same time.

Same place.

Come on, Dudi.
-We’ll be here.

I want to see all of you,
and bring your friends over, too.

Yeah.
-We will.

Let’s do it.
-We should do an all-employees thing next time.

Le’chayim.
-Le’chayim.

Coming.

To your spot.

Who is it?
-Amir.

Which Amir?

From across the street.

No, stop. Stay down. Sit.

Did you order Sushi?

No.
-No? But it says here that,

I didn’t order Sushi, it’s a mistake.
I didn’t order it.

I’m joking, my last customer cancelled,
so I figured I’ll take it.

Want some?

Umm...

Sure, cool.

Take a seat.

What’s his name?
-Putin.

Putin, come here, Putin.

Come here.

He’s so cute.
Putin, Putin.

Sit.

Putin, down.

Roll over.

Cute.

You seem like a sushi guy.

Okay.

What does a “sushi guy” mean?

I don’t know.
Do you like sushi?

Yeah.

I knew it.

So...

How long have you been living here?

I actually just moved here a few days ago.

Really?
-Mm-hmm.

When?

On the day you fucked that guy
who looks like Mr. Israel.

You should start using your blinds.

I’m a bit direct, sorry about that.

No, it’s... It’s fine.

It’s a turn on for me.

Wait, let me get this straight,
is that your thing?

Stalking the neighbors?

Not the neighbors, just you.

Okay.

Kinda creepy, isn’t it?

And standing naked in front of
an open window isn’t?

Do you want a drink?

I got wine.
-Sure.

Great wine.

Did you enjoy that?

It was nice, not gonna lie.
-Nice...

You know what kind of person
is nice, right?

About someone who’s not smart,
good-looking, or rich.

That’s not what I meant.

You’re good-looking.

Okay, thanks.

Le’chayim.
-Le’chayim.

So?
-Great wine,

Thanks.
So, what did you like?

From a distance...

Your body.

Your back.

Your ass is the prettiest peach I’ve seen
and your dick is a supermodel.

Okay.
-And up close...

Your eyes.

These eyes...
I’m drowning in green.

Philoshoper.

Second year.

I knew it!
-It’s easy.

You’ll be bartending with me in a year,
don’t worry.

Got a boyfriend?

Got a problem with that?
-No.

In my opinion, sex and intimacy
should be two separate things.

During sex, you suck dicks and lick assholes.

Intimacy is different.

Okay.

I don’t know about that.

Ass-licking is very intimate in my opinion.

No, I don’t think so.

Intimacy requires courage.

Not anyone can do that.

I’ll be happy to fuck,
if that’s what you mean.

Yeah...

Putin, spot, now.

Stop interrupting.

He’s always in the way.

One moment.

What is it?

I need you to hurt me a little, okay?

Hurt you?
-Yeah.

Like that?
-No, harder, come on.

Like that?

Harder.

Keep hurting me.

Like that.

Grab it, grab it,

Stop, stop it!

I can’t do it like that.

Like how?

It’s not...

This BDSM shit is not for me.

Sorry.

Okay.

That’s fine.

Umm... well.

I thought you were up for it.

But I guess not, and it’s fine,
it happens.

Yeah.

I’m sorry, I...

But, umm...

The wine was very nice.

I mean, not nice.

You know what I mean, right?

Of course.

Sorry.

Putin, spot. What are you looking at?
To your spot.

Nice.

Yeah.

I read online that what gets
people to come

Is either booze, or free stuff.

So I combined them.

Check that out!

1-0 to me.

Poor thing.

But, this is nature.

The strongest ones survive.

You’ll let it go, right?

If you let them go,
they come back.

Let it out far from here,
it won’t come back, poor thing.

Don’t worry.

You’re free to go..
Shabbat Shalom.

You sure?
-Yeah. Shabbat Shalom.

Shabbat Shalom doctor.

Mousey, mousey,
run away.

Mousey, mousey,
run.

Mousey, mousey,
run away.

Mousey, mousey,
run.

I can’t believe it

Need any help, Rabbi?

You got a problem?

We don’t

Shabbat Shalom.

Shabbat Shalom to you, too.

But...

Maybe you should ask
He who lies above for help.

Maybe He can help you out.

How about you call your
faggy son now?

Don’t talk about him like that!

Shut up!

Fucking settler.

Eww.

Avinoam.

Avinoam, are you okay?

There’s a first aid kit
in the backseat.

I’ll get it.

Thank you.

There.

I’ll call an ambulance.

No, there’s no need.

Of course there is,
you need medical treatment.

Nah, it’s only superficial wounds.

Don’t be stupid.

What time is it?

3 p.m.

See, I can’t go.

I won’t make it back before Shabbat.

I’ll be fine.

Who did this to you?

I don’t know.

You don’t know him?

No.

I’ll be fine, just help me up.

Give me your hand.

Here.
-Okay.

Wow.

You’re okay?
-Yeah.

I’m fine.
-Let me just change your tire.

Thanks.

The spare’s flat.

How would you drive?

Shabbat’s coming.

I’ll figure something out.

I’ve got an idea.

Why don’t you have the
Shabbat at my place?

I’m serious. I have a pull-out.
You can come over.

Come on.

I don't know, I don’t...

I don’t want to be a bother.

Bother? Are you kidding?

Are you sure?

Hello.

Don’t go.

Good boy.

Hold on.

Take a seat,
make yourself comfortable.

Here.

It’s from the time I thought oversized
clothes were peak fashion.

Do you want to take a shower?

I’ll go get us a wine for the kiddush.

It has to be kosher, okay?

Of course.

Well, bye, doctor.

Democracy...

Let’s have an awesome Shabbos.

Do you have a kiddush glass?

Actually I do, just by chance.

No such thing as chance.

Of course there is.
-Yeah? And what about the fact we met?

That’s just chance.

And me getting injured, and...

And now I’m doing Shabbat here with you?

Still chance.

You see?

What you call chance, I call meaning.

What do you think are the chances that
you’ll get the same number on both dice?

That’s statistics, 1 to 36.

And if you get a pair on the first toss?
What then?

Whatever you want.

Whatever I want...

You’ll put on the tefillin, oh righteous one?

We have a deal.

Toss the dice.

Wow!

You’re scaring me.

Let’s go.

Blessed
-Blessed are you, O God,

King of the world,

Who we consecrated in his commandment,

And were commanded to wrap in tzitzit.

Blessed are you, O God,

King of the world,

Who we consecrated in his commandment,

I know it's emotional and activity

And were commanded to place tefillin.

On the one hand, we have God
who’s the embodiment of all that’s...

Moral, and pure, and good.

A merciful God.

On the other hand,
we have a commandment

To do one of the lowliest acts
a human can do.

Not just to kill a man,
but to kill your own son.

Not just your son,
but your only, dearly beloved son.

How can you even imagine
such a thing?

I mean...

Try to see things through
his perspective, okay?

Maybe he was scared?

Maybe he thought that
sacrificing his son alive is better

Than God’s vengeance.
-Yeah? How does that work with

God being the embodiment of pure morality,

Commanding such a cruel commandment?
There are two possibilities.

One is that maybe God
isn’t that moral, pure and good,

And the other one is

That he is moral, pure and good

And that his commandment for Abraham

Is the most moral,

The purest,

And most righteous act.

And maybe, it’s beyond morality.

I don’t see how that can be moral.

That’s because you’re not
looking at this thoroughly enough.

Okay, shoot.

Are you familiar with Kierkergaard?

On a first name basis.

He said that,

Hey,

It’s Shabbat.

Sorry for forcing you on that.

He suggest that giving up

Is the last step to reach true morality,
true faith.

Kierkegaard said that, at the altar,
Abraham didn’t just sacrifice his faith,

But his common sense,

And his morality, too.
Only once he gives up what he holds dearest,

He gets to hear the voice of God.

Do you know what it means,

To hear the voice of God?

Only once he gives everything up,

He wins everything.

Just a moment.
-Where are you going?

I’ll just be a moment.
Move, Putin. Move.

A moment.

Le’chayim, Putin.

Yeah, mom?
-Binyamin?

Yeah.
-Where are you?

Home, why?

Dad said you’re not coming
this Tuesday.

He doesn’t want me there
on Tuesday.

That’s not what he meant.

Mom, if you’re calling to defend dad,
you can go ahead and hang up.

What is with you two?

I’m not the problem here,
I hope you realize that.

And if he doesn’t want to be in touch with me,
he should just stop trying.

That’s not what he wants.

That’s exactly what he wants,
he just won’t do that because of you.

And your persistence makes me feel like shit.

He doesn’t have to love me
just because Uriya died.

Maybe you should still come over on Tuesday?

What’s the point?

It’s the first memorial, all his friend and
the entire kibbutz will be there.

You will be missed.

Trust me, no one will miss me.

Shabbat Shalom, mom.

He’s freed, and keeps his distance”

Shedding a single tear”

A sudden light at the end of the tunnel”

He walks with a beloved mate”

“Instead of an angel”

“To burn a forbidden love”

“Instead of an angel”

“To burn a forbidden love”

There, this is your special ringtone.
-Ohh, that’s a big turn on.

Should we go to your place?
-I have someone over.

Threesome, interesting.

It’s my boss.
-Your boss.

What are you going to tell him?
-It’s a long story,

Okay.
-Let’s go.

Avinoam, Amir.

This is Avinoam,
my boss at the bar.

He had an accident just before Shabbat.

This is Amir.

Hey there.

Hey.

Grab a seat,
make yourself comfortable.

Did you clean?

Just a bit.
-What a boss.

Totally.
-The food was great.

You know that was all for you?
I would have been fine with a schnitzel.

You own the bar?
-Yeah.

Cool. Haven’t been there yet.

It’s your loss.

Do you live in Tel Aviv?

God forbid.

Your loss.

Wine?
-Always.

Where are you from?
-Havat Menashe.

It’s a settlement.
-It’s an inhabiting.

Sure.

What do you do?

Study and work.

Really? Where?

In Life’s University.

Lost but learning.

Ohh, a philosopher.
-Are you familiar with Kierkegaard?

On a first name basis.

Did you know he defined
the difference between man and God?

When two people meet
authentically and humanely.

God is the electricity that runs through them.

So you're suggesting that we take a conversation
between two people so seriously,

That we’ll doubt God’s almighty majesty?

No, but if the conversation
creates a divine presence

So you’re saying men create God.

Maybe, I guess, on some sense.

So you’re saying there is a god.
-Personally, no.

But if now, when we talk,
there’s divine presence.

So you’re saying He exists.
-That’s not what I said.

So you’re challenging the existence
of an almighty God?

I challenge this conversation, okay?

Come on.

Can we do it right this time?

Like that?

Is this the right way?
-Harder.

Like that?

Go harder.

Coming.

Putin, move over.

Move.

Come in.

Where were you?
I was worried.

No, it’s fine.
Just went for a walk to clear my mind.

All day long?

I don’t know how you people handle it,
but we you usually say when we leave.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you worry.

But you did.

You sound just like my wife.

I’m making myself something,
do you want some, too?

Just a bit. I should get ready,
it’s almost the end of Shabbat.

Your car’s waiting for you downstairs.

What? How?

There’s an app for everything nowadays.

Does it still hurt?

Got plans this evening?

Why?

There’s an outlook just outside Tel Aviv,
not many people know it.

Umm...
-It’ll only be 10 minutes, and I’ll get you a beer.

Come on, let me thank you.

What do you say?

It’s beautiful.

Yeah.

You know what,

You’re not who I thought you were.

Who did you think I was?

I don’t know, a bit more...

Religious-y.

What’s religious-y?

I don’t know.
-Nowadays, with the Facebook and Instagram,

People can’t see beyond the

Tiny photos,
only what fits in it, exists to them.

I’m not what people think I am.

I’m not on Instagram.

Really?

Why are you surprised?

I’m not what people think I am, either.

You’re not like other guys,
you know that?

Is that a compliment?

That’s for you to decide.

Eww.

This place stinks.

What is this place?

Uriya?

Missed me?

You fucker, just tell me this,

Were you going to skip my memorial?

After you’re the one who called me

To come pick you up from a stupid party,

And now I’m being eaten by worms.

I’m kidding.

Hey, hey.

I can’t blame you.

Our dad’s fucked up,
I would have done the same.

I’m not mad.

What made you like this?

I was always like that.

Like what?

Fucked up and shaggy.
-Listen up,

If you want to keep living.
you have to agree to this world’s conditions.

If these are the conditions,
maybe dying is better.

No.

You’re a warrior.
Haven’t you figured it out by now?

But you’re not immune to anything.

You could die anytime,

And you will have to lose everything
you’ve earned in your life.

But until that happens,
you’re a warrior.

That’s depressing.

That’s life.

The real crime is to surrender.

To pretend it’s not what it is.

To expect the world to be safe,
and beautiful, and just. But...

That’s not what life is.

It’s an illusion.

Three...

Two...

One...

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Are you okay?

No, no. I need help.
I’ve been drugged.

I can’t open it.

So,

I don’t know.

Can you call the cops or something?

There’s no service.

Fuck.

So run as fast as you can, okay?

Did you hear me?

There’s someone in here.
he needs help!

Don’t worry, it’s just my nephew,
he’s in withdrawal.

He’s lying, run!

Why is he locked?

We don’t have any other choice.

He was refused at all the rehab centers.

He’s lying, don’t believe him.

I’m the reservoir supervisor,
it’s fine.

You can go.

Do you know your way out?
I know this forest like the back of my hand.

You have to run, please!

What’s your name?

Avinoam, his name is Avinoam!

Nice to meet you.
I know this seems odd.

But we have no other choice.

If God’s willing, it’ll all be alright.
His body has to cleanse.

I’m always here with him,
I’m not leaving him.

Okay, I get it.
I hope you’ll manage to help him.

Don’t believe him, I’m telling you,
he’s lying. Run!

“Your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for”.

“Your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for”.

It’s fine.

You’ve done enough for one day,
come here.

You need to eat.

Come here.

Eat.

Eat.

You know,

I was an honorary student at my Yeshiva.

Just brilliant. First one to show up,
last one to leave.

Always lingering behind,

Asking the Rabbi questions.

I was always eager

To test everything,
never take anything for granted.

Kind of like you.

But deep inside,

I was in pieces.

I felt like

Something was wrong with me.

Like you.

I had a neighbor who went
to secular school.

We never used to greet each other.

But then we were placed together
in our service.

Trained together at Schooling Base 10.

Paramedic training.
Then we were placed together at southern Lebanon.

We became best friends.

At nights, we would

Operate in the villages,
and during the days...

We would have these long talks.

I started feeling

Something different, towards him.

I was disgusted of myself.

I tried to stay back,
take some space, but

It was a small base.

Everyone’s always together,
eating together,

Sleeping together,
taking showers together.

I had nowhere to run.

One day,

I had food poisoning.

And I...

Stayed behind when everyone
left for the operations.

I laid in bed and I prayed.

I prayed for him to die.

I hated him for making me love him.

I have never prayed harder
for anything in my life.

I was free,

But inside,

I felt,

Hollow.

Just a shell.

But then, I ran into my old Yeshiva Rabbi.

And after a few meetings with him,
I realized

I chose to feel like that.

He was a band-aid for
everything I was lacking.

Doesn’t heal you,
just covers open wounds.

But a wound

Can still heal,

If you don’t scratch it.

Do you see?

I’m,

Opening the door for you
for a different kind of attraction.

But to succeed,

You’re going to have to cooperate.

A bit pretentious, isn’t it?

Freud said we are all born bi-sexual.

And then our childhood sets our path.

But that’s not true.

I was born this way.
-Yeah, but we have closed doors inside us.

And if you knock on
one of them hard enough, it’ll open.

The Greeks proved it.

Have you never heard
about ancient Greece?

If you’ll read Plato,
you’ll see they were all tempted by homosexuality.

How could it be that

They were all tempted?
Was everyone gay in Greece?

No, no.

It’s just that
we can be tempted into anything.

Heterosexuality, too.

But to achieve that,

You have to shut something up in you.

I assume it comes with a price.

Of course.

You see,

You’re sentencing prohibitions.

You call it shutting something up,
I call it brainwash.

I’m not saying there’s
something wrong in you, God forbid.

You know Binyamin, you have a sweet-tooth.
Your natural favorite is sweet.

A baby, a fetus,
their natural favorite taste is sweet.

But there’s acquired taste, like coffee, alcohol,

Cigarettes.

It’s gross at first, but then

You can’t give it up.
That’s an acquired taste.

Our minds are unbelievably flexible.

It can always change.

I’ve changed.

I don’t believe it.

I have.

Look at me.

I’ve changed.

I’ve seen, with my very own eyes,

How people change.

All options exist in us,
we don’t have to act on any of them.

You choose what to act on.

You do.

And you will thank me later.

I’m not your first.

In your city,

This job will never end.

To changes.

Dad.

When are you coming home?

Soon, if God’s willing.

I miss you.

Sweetheart.

I’ll be there soon.

Go to bed, I’ll come say good night.

Do you know my tooth fell?

Really?

Yeah.
-Maybe the tooth fairy will visit tonight.

The fairy comes with a gift
only to those who believe in her.

Come on, dad.
I don’t believe in that stuff.

Bye, dad.

Bye, sweetie.

Get up.

Drink.

All of it.

Now you have to do it on your own.

And I do nothing.

Just do it.

I can’t.
-Keep going.

Wait, I can’t.
-Keep going!

Soon,

You won’t have to handle
this filth.

Save yourself.

Hello.

I couldn’t care less if you come or not.

You’re rude and ungrateful,
you’ve ruined our lives.

Mom asked you to come, for her.
but you don’t care about anyone but yourself.

You don’t care about anyone but yourself.

What’s he talking about?

My brother’s memorial.

Why did you tell them you won’t come?

Why aren’t you answering?

Are you scared of me?

Why did you tell them you won’t come?

It’s nothing.

No matter what I’ll do,
my dad would never approve of me.

So I didn’t want to be there.

Is that why you left?

Yeah.

Is that Amir?

Let me talk to him.

Please.

Avinoam, I’ll just tell him I’m fine,
I promise.

So he wouldn’t worry, he might come over,
and see I’m not home.

And then he might call the cops.

You’re running a marathon.

You can’t let your old life beat you,
you have to outrun it.

What does that have to do with it?

I would have just told him I’m fine,
that’s all.

We can’t risk it.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe,
Who created the fruit of the vine.

I wouldn’t do that if I were you.

Trust me.

You’re going through a process.

It takes more than a day.

You have to trust me.

Okay?

You’re a good kid
who got lost.

It’s not your fault,
you were sent out on a journey

With no map or compass.
What did they expect?

One day, I’ll let you out,
and you could go to the cops.

But you’re not going to do that.

Because you’re smart enough to see

That what I did for you in this room,

Is to create your new life.

I know.

Thank you.

Do you want to keep going?
I’m fine now.

Let’s keep going.

No, no.

We don’t need that.

I trust you.

Look,

This world is full of evil.

You have to be strong enough
to handle it.

Cheers, to your new life.

Ready?

What a pathetic man.

Where’s your God now?

Loser.

That’s my daughter.

It’s Guli, let me talk to her.

Let me talk to her.

Dad?

Can you hear me?

Guli.
-Dad?

Guli, everything’s fine.

Guli, I’ll come home.

Idiot.

Wait.

Wait a minute.

It’s a sin.

You were there,
you were half-way there.

Wait, it’s a sin.

I just wanted to help you.

You wanted to help me,
or to help yourself?

Answer me.

I can’t hear you, answer me.

You wanted to help me,
or to help yourself?

Answer now or I’ll kill you.
Give me one good reason not to kill you!

You wanted to help me,
or to help yourself?

Answer now or I’ll kill you!

Answer! You wanted to help me, or yourself?

I wanted to not love you.

Quiet.

It’s so quiet.

And beauty.

There’s so much beauty,
it fills up my heart from top to bottom.

Is that what a free man feels like?

Free of what?

Have I reached the bottom of the pit?

You might say I’ve done
the right thing, but,

What is the right thing?

Actually, does it even matter?

Let’s assume I’m doomed.

All of us.

It’s so distant from you,
you can’t even feel it.

Maybe we have sunken
a long time ago.

Maybe we can’t see
becuase it’s just too dark.

But I can see myself.

Clearer than ever.

There’s no turning back now.

Fuck.

Come any closer and I’ll send the video!

Give me the phone.
-Don’t take another step!

Give me the phone, We can turn
everything back the way it was.

No one has to know.

You’re insane, leave me alone!

I can’t.

Are you okay?

I don’t think so.

Where are you?

I’m right here, next to you.

What do you feel?

Nothing, I think.

How about now?

I don’t know.

Do you want to tell me what’s going on?

I don’t want to talk about it.

Would you like me to leave?

Wait.

Don’t go.

So ask me to.

What?

Ask me to stay.

Will you stay with me?

What for?

Just to stay.

I love those eyes.

Can we hug?

Just hug.

You know, I don’t have love divisions.

What do you mean?

There’s no hug division, compassion
division or fucking division.

When I love, I love all of you.

Hugging, kissing.

Fucking.

Repeat.

Fine, I’m fucked up, I know it.

Everyone in this city’s fucked up.

Wanna fuck?

Want some sushi?
