THREE WEEKS LATER...

As promised, I'm sharing the happy moments with you

because you're part of the family, and you know we're expecting a boy.

And now it's time for me to get up to date.

So I'm about to tell my hlel that I'm getting circumcised.

Today is a blessed day.

Don't say anything. It's a secret.

Honey, since I'm a committed father and a loving husband,

I didn't tell you, but I went to see Dr. Hazan.

And he said that it would be a small laser operation.

Just like that, and it's gone.

And it's done as an outpatient surgery now.

Anyway, my appointment to get circumcised is tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.

And let me remind you, Safia, that getting circumcised

is an old tradition from the prophet, Abraham,

peace and blessed be his name.

You see, Safia, the joy of tahara is exactly that.

A few centimeters less for a lot more happiness.

- Great. - One little drawback.

We can no longer... You know what I mean?

For three weeks, while it's healing.

Don't worry. It's fine.

We haven't had sex in months.

Always so funny.

That's just who we are. We make each other laugh.

I'm so happy to be married to my best friend, my partner, my confidant.

Max, what happiness are you talking about?

Don't you see there's something wrong?

We don't talk. We've been avoiding each other for weeks.

Cutting off your dick won't solve anything.

Being a couple is not always rosy.

That's why sabr is one of the greatest virtues of Islam.

Can you just stop reciting your notes?

I'm trying to talk to you. Listen to me.

I'm listening, but in the words of Allah Almighty and his messenger...

Maxime, I cheated on you in Algeria.

I regretted it immediately, even to this day.

I really tried to tell you, but...

- Don't forget to subscribe. - You're doing a...

MISKINA, POOR THING

- You are. - No, you are.

Hello? Are you two done?

- You're the artist. - You're my muse.

- Are we good? - Yeah.

I've done a summary of what we owe,

based on the loans our dear Rania took out under your names.

Nassim owes nothing.

You were the only one who didn't trust the old lady.

You were right, Nassim. Well done.

And well done to Damien, too, whom we miss...

It's just a few questions. I have a lot on my mind.

Do we pray with our socks on or do we take them off?

Is it really bad to lie and kiss two boys outside of wedlock?

Can I run a red light during Ramadan?

Bilal Alaoui, you're sentenced to pay 9,734 euros.

And I'll say it again. I'm not a real cousin.

Tell that to the judge.

If I buy halal nail polish,

will the blessings of ablutions get through the nails?

Do I need to forget about someone I love because I'm with someone else I love?

Fara, mazel tov. 36,404 euros.

As for us, we took 10,000 euros each.

But it's all taken care of.

It's taken care of.

Yep.

We have a deal with Dubai. I've got the contract.

With an advance of 104,000 euros, negotiated by yours truly.

But it's amazing.

- Dubai! That's great. - That's amazing.

They have the world's tallest building.

It's 828 meters. Almost three times the Eiffel Tower.

You know so much.

It's true.

Three times the size of the Eiffel tower.

All we need is Fara's signature, and we're good.

You ask many questions. Have you ever done a consultation prayer?

No.

It's a prayer for seeking counsel from Allah when you have doubts.

After asking your question,

you'll need to read the signs in your everyday life

or in your dreams.

Okay.

Do you just all want me to leave?

Calm down.

It's a big deal, a big decision. It's Dubai.

Oh, fuck. Time for Asr prayer.

I'm going to go pray at the mosque.

I'll pray so that there's no typo in the contract.

I'll be right back.

Three times the Eiffel Tower? It must be super tall.

Allah, I'm seeking your almighty knowledge and I implore you for your assistance

because you can do everything, and I can't.

And you know what I don't.

Allah, if you know that going to Dubai is a good thing for me,

my religion, my life now and in the future,

then decide for me, make it happen, and bless it.

So now, if I understand it right, I have to wait?

Yes, I mean you need to look for signs.

Wait! I have something for you.

- What do you think about Dubai? - Dubai?

- It's far away. - So it's pretty negative.

But it must be beautiful.

So it's posi...

- That's not very clear. - Here.

I found this in the kitchen.

I think it's yours.

Your grandma did a lot for the community.

She was always there for others.

Think about that.

You know, it's a good thing to get lost sometimes.

It helps.

Her couscous was so good.

The best.

No one can make it the same way.

I went to the mosque to pray,

to try to overcome this challenge,

and your support, brothers and sisters, means so much to me.

And I wanted to thank you for that.

In tough times, don't forget to...

Don't forget to subscribe. It's cool.

Max?

I saw the... Are you okay?

It's a hard blow.

- I'm here if you need anything. - Yeah.

I don't want to talk about it now.

- Okay. - But thank you, my sister.

That's for the mobile soup kitchen?

No, it's my... Wait. You have a mobile soup kitchen?

Yes. Good deeds are important.

It's always a blessing.

The hasanat, my sister.

Prayers, charity.

It all counts.

It'll help me get into heaven.

It's a sign.

Fabien?

He's a great guy.

He's in charge of the mobile soup kitchen. He does everything.

Come on. Let's join them.

- You're coming with me? - Yeah. Let's do it.

He looks just like him.

Like who?

I thought that maybe she made it up to get a reaction from me.

He said that his wife cheated on him, miskin.

He's still in denial.

You keep staring at me.

Sorry, it's just...

I mean it's clearly a sign.

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Do you have a message for me?

A message?

Yes. You can help us with the mobile soup kitchen.

Yes, sure.

Good deeds, hasanat, all that.

- We're out of Swiss cheese. - What?

You're out of Swiss cheese? Should I go get some at the supermarket?

Sure, you can do that.

- I'll give you our credit card. - No, it's on me.

It happened all of a sudden, like a shock.

But that's what Safia does. That's how she deals with conflict.

She always pushes things too far.

Thank you. And you got sandwiches, too?

It's no problem.

I owe you one.

My ex cheated on me too.

That's why I got Mayo.

It's not the same.

She said that to scare me.

She's not the type to cheat.

Stop lying to yourself. It'll hurt more.

She cheated on you.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to say things that aren't really meant for you.

You'll probably think I'm crazy.

No.

You need to know that I feel bad for what I did to you.

You know, girls like me,

we're not really used to these situations.

Having one guy interested in me is rare.

So imagine two...

I don't have the instructional manual for that.

You understand?

Of course you don't. Forget it.

You know...

if you want, you can take charge of the last pot.

Okay?

Thank you.

Be careful. It's the last one.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

Fara?

Did you know that Safia cheated on me?

When you were in Algeria for your trip...

I wasn't with her the whole time.

I was with my cousins, with Zineb, Asma...

How could she do this to me?

I might not even be the father.

Of course you're the father.

I'm not a science expert, but you can't get pregnant in 24 hours.

Was she already pregnant when she cheated on me?

Of course she was.

I mean, yes, for sure, I think.

- Do you think she wanted to punish me? - No, I think...

I think it had nothing to do with you.

I think she was going through something.

She needed to prove something to herself.

To prove what? We have everything.

A baby on the way, a house in the suburbs, a marriage.

I don't get it. We were happy.

For ten years, we've always been happy.

Exactly. It was too perfect.

To think that my son will be raised by another man...

Can you imagine?

Wait. Don't get ahead of yourself. What did you talk about this morning?

I don't know.

She was rambling about doing a deep cleaning of her life.

She even called the movers to pack up the house. They took everything.

Yesterday, she was washing the walls.

- What? - I swear. She's nuts.

And I told her that the chemicals weren't good for the baby.

- She got rid of the furniture? - Yes.

She called Bilal's guys.

They emptied the house in two hours.

These guys were very efficient.

Fuck.

I...

- I'll fix it. - How?

What's left?

How do you want to feed 40 people for free?

Do you know a good free restaurant around here?

That's great. Let's pack up.

Wait! I have an idea.

Hey.

I'm with some friends.

I still don't need you,

but them...

They need you.

Is this a test?

No, it's just...

You wanted us to bond, so let's start with a big amount of couscous.

Bring them in.

Okay. Come in.

- Thank you very much. - Good.

- Have a seat. - Good evening.

You can sit here if you want.

We'll get you drinks. Have a seat.

I have a lot of friends.

- So we said couscous? - Yeah!

Well, it'll be couscous then.

It's very salty, isn't it?

Too salty?

Let's see.

But it's still good.

Damn. There are so many things I regret.

You know what I'd like do?

I'd like to start my life all over again,

from the day I was born, but knowing everything I know now,

from living my life.

You know, kiddo, whatever you can fix now, go fix it.

And all the small things, you need to forgive them.

Okay?

Because infidelity...

is nothing compared to true love.

It's nothing.

- Do you understand? - Yes.

- You can look at me when I talk to you. - No, but...

Just because you did this doesn't mean that I'll forget the last 20 years.

I know.

But it's a good start, isn't it?

Your new family is great.

You are here, too. Look.

That's just to look good to your customers.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Grandma, can I get some ice cream, please?

Sure, binti.

- And one for your sister, too. - Okay, thanks.

Do you remember?

It's the beach with the ice cream truck that you loved.

You used to go there every day.

Is that how you got the idea?

What idea?

The idea to get fat?

No.

The food truck.

Is that what it's called?

Do you want some strawberry milk?

What happened to that kid, Nassim?

Remember?

He wanted to buy the ice cream truck

and turn it into a vending machine for tanning lotion.

He always had twisted ideas.

Yes, but he stuck around.

I think it's too soon, actually.

They loved it.

A bit salty, but...

We're going to sell Alicante.

What are you doing?

You saw how upset they are, and I stupidly want to hold on to it.

Fuck. 428 euros for a ticket.

I wanted to tell you...

Thank you.

Thank you for everything you've done.

At first, I didn't really get you. You were a bit...

You're...

Anyway, what you did was really beautiful.

A lot of those guys hadn't been in a restaurant for years.

You know, it's crazy.

I'm doing the same thing my dad did.

I'm a coward. A coward.

Do you know what I mean?

Sure.

But if you're here, it means that we can make amends.

And we know one thing for sure, Dubai won't happen.

- Sure. - Yeah.

Do you forgive me?

For everything I've done to you?

Because my father, he never apologized.

So I'm apologizing now.

I forgive you.

Everything will be fine.

Wait, I have something urgent to do.

Hello?

- Fara, did I wake you? - No. Is everything okay?

Yes. I mean, I don't know.

I couldn't sleep. I kept mulling things over.

Fara, I wanted to tell you that Dubai is more than a business deal.

It's a life with you.

You and me.

I can tell you're not ready.

So for now, I've put things on hold with the sheikh.

I don't want to pressure you.

What's important to me is that we're together,

and that you really want it.

I rushed into the project.

I even forgot to check how you were feeling.

I'm sorry.

- Fara? - Yes, sorry...

It's just that right now, I don't know what to say.

You're amazing, Nass.

That's exactly what...

I'm so relieved.

I...

But the debt sucks. We have to...

Don't worry about that.

What's 100,000 euros anyway?

And I still have a few businesses in Paris.

Did I tell you about my sneaker rental idea? Fara?

We go way back, you and me.

And we know it's forever.

We just have to find a way to make this whole thing work.

- Yeah. - And we've got all the time in the world.

- I'm going to go to bed. Take care. - You, too.

- Be strong. - Thanks.

Saf, what are you doing?

Spring cleaning.

We need to talk, Saf.

- Now? - Yes, now.

I've been thinking.

What you did is serious.

What you did to us.

You broke our bond of trust.

And me, normally...

I wouldn't forgive you, and I'd walk away.

But at the same time, you see...

I want us to be united and strong for the baby.

So, what?

Say you're sorry, and I'll see if I can forgive you.

Why?

What's the point, Max?

Yes, I made a huge mistake, and I've regretted it every day since,

but it proves that things weren't working between us.

Look around you.

We live in an IKEA store.

We're at the end of the RER line so as to enjoy some fresh air,

but I don't like the countryside.

I don't like it!

And look at us.

I don't like what you've become. I don't like what I've become.

I don't recognize us anymore.

Wait.

A house with a garden, a baby on the way... We have everything.

- What more do you want? - Nothing.

That's the thing, nothing. This is too much, Max! Too much!

I can't breathe!

I'm really sorry, but...

I just need time to think.

No.

I need time to think.

You're undermining my right to be mad.

You're taking away my moment. I'm the one who's pissed off.

I'm out of here.

What are you doing here?

We came to see the furniture.

Are you insane?

Who comes to look at furniture at 7:00 in the morning?

Safia said to come back later.

It's later.

Anyway, the furniture is gone.

Safia got rid of it.

Say, "I swear."

Well, yeah.

- Where? - I don't know.

The moving company came and took everything.

And the Louis d'or coins in the dresser?

The Louis d'or? What do you mean? What's that?

The gold coins that she had kept for a long time.

How many?

A treasure trove.
