And that's for my pretty Sahar.

I miss her.

Licorice and ramen.

Thank you.

Later.

What a bastard, Assaad's father.

Whenever it fills the water reservoir,

we drown because of his crappy piping!

This asshole thinks that it's a gift? This rat hole?

Sahar!

It's not a house!

It's a pigsty!

Get out! You are going to be Electrocute, mess!

- House of misfortune! - Go live in the street.

There is plenty of room!

Zain, why the vegetables are rotten? Did you upset Assaad?

Zain, he gave you the liquorice and the ramen?

It's not even day, fucking! Give me a break!

Stand up, idiot!

This juice is best, forget the rest!

Sahar, come here.

Why is there blood on your pants?

Where's the blood?

Hurry before we are seen.

Do you remember what happened? Your girlfriend Alia?

When his mother found out, she locked her up at home

until the day when a big pig came to take her.

Mom won't want you. She'll toss you in the street.

- She'll give you to Assaad. - But Assaad is really nice.

He is a motherfucker!

He offers me ramen and liquorice.

He'll give you shit to eat!

They will give you to Assaad, they will get rid of you.

We will never see you again.

And he will throw you with the rats, he will shut you up, cover the windows

Will not let you out.

He will give you a drop of water every 3 days and old ramen.

You did not see his ear? A sewer rat bit him.

Here, put this on.

You've finished?

Yes.

Here.

What do I do?

Put it like that, down in your pants.

Your hair is so lovely! Who styled it?

Show me.

So, chief, are you finished?

I still have the cans to put away, but my mother needs Sahar.

Stay again. I'm happy to have your sister here.

I'll bring her back later.

I'll talk to your mother.

Bye.

Careful, don't leave those rags just anywhere.

May God bless you.

Take two.

What do you want?

- Just show you something. - Leave me alone.

Come on, just a moment!

Fuck you, bastard.

Leave him, Zain.

Don't piss me off!

Why sign up for school?

Out of the question. Forget it, and keep working for Assaad.

Why are you complicating things?

It's not better that he goes to learn two or three words?

Go to your heart, but do not wake her up.

Let him go to school.

They will send us something to eat and get dressed, for kids

And what does Assaad say?

I'll talk to him.

In the morning, I will go to school,

and in the afternoon I will work at home.

Look at Farid, the neighbor's son, Zahra.

He returns from school with all kinds of stuff.

They will give us mattresses, clothes

Shut up!

At least he'll eat there and bring food to his sisters.

They receive the remains of the hotels and the most beautiful marriages.

Enjoy it a bit! Why are you so stubborn?

Inch'Allah we will see Monday.

Inch Allah?

Do you want me to swear on bread?

I said yes.

And if Assaad gets vexed and puts us out?

Do not worry, he will not get angry.

We will send him Zain after school and he will do overtime.

Soap of my balls!

Why are you pouting?

Take it easy.

Bring a gas canister to Em Habib down the street

Ms. Bahia, I'm done.

- How much is it? - 13,000.

Do not touch me, fucked!

Where do these chickens come from?

Who brought them?

It's Assaad, he's at home.

Assaad is up there?

Yes.

Mum?

What are Assaad and his father doing here?

- Do not make a scene. - Yeah, you'll see.

- What are they doing here? - Calm down.

They discuss our rent with your father.

I'd cut off my left hand

they give you the hens in exchange for Sahar.

Wait, listen to me

You're going to say this son of a bitch that he did not do anything here.

- You do not understand? - Go tell him or I do it.

Lower your voice.

I swear by your sisters, I swear by God.

That there is nothing at all here.

- So why is Sahar made up? - She imitates me to have fun.

As soon as they finish the juice, I'm kicking them out.

Listen, don't.

Go tell him that's not going to work.

Go tell him or I will.

I do not want to hear it.

Do you want him to throw us out?

Not a word.

Welcome, dear neighbors!

Abu Assaad, please help yourself.

Thank you.

Have some, Assaad.

Dearie, take your sister into the other room.

Wipe off that ugly lipstick.

You look like a witch in this dress.

Sahar.”

Sahar!

Wakes up, I'll take you somewhere.

- Where's that? - 1 will tell you later. Arise.

Be ready when I come back.

Do not say anything to anyone.

How much until Cola?

1,000.

And if I put my sister on my lap, 1,000 pounds will do the trick?

Where is your sister?

At home, I'll get her.

No problem, go get her.

I do not want to leave, pity

I do not want to leave, I beg you.

Mom, I do not want to leave!

I kill you if you dare put your feet back here.

Where are you taking her, you bunch of cretins?

To be a maid for that son of a bitch?

I want to stay with my brother.

It's none of your business.

- Mom, she's just a child. - Mind your own business.

Step away I said!

Do not be fooled by this.

You, go downstairs.

Zain, if you still try something, I kill you.

I understood your little game, bastard.

You were going to fuck us in shit, little junk.

You send it wipe the shit of this pig!

Kiss my ass, and you go down.

You, go down.

Let her go!

She will not go to Assaad!

Little bastard!

Open the door, little asshole.

I do not want to leave, Mom!

I do not want!

Let me go!

I beg you, Mom, ll do not want to leave.

Come on, Sahar!

It's enough!

You stay here, 1 tell you!

I want to stay here. I beg you.

Come down.

Come down! Come down!

Mom, pity, I beg you!

Son of a bitch.

It's enough! I can not stand this hell anymore.

I do not want to leave, Mom!

Stop! Y tired of your bullshit!

Get her up, shit!

Another word and I cut your tongue off!

No!

Sahar!

Sahar!

Let her go!

You are happy?

You're playing the big man?

You're going to pay him dear, rascal!

Let her go!

It was to lift her out of misery.

With me, she was doomed.

She barely has a bed to sleep,

Barely enough to eat and drink. She does not wash herself.

Never watches TV.

I told myself, "Marry her, at least she'll sleep in a bed."”

A real bed.

With a blanket.

She can eat as much as she likes.

- You didn't know it would come to this? - Never!

I never wanted that!

You think I'm proud that my son stabbed someone?

Have you considered the possibility that it is not our fault?

I was born this way, raised this way, how have I done wrong?

If I had the choice, I would be maybe better than all of you!

- You can not say that. - Please

Now, people are spitting on me in the street.

They treat me like an animal.

I never asked for any of this.

1 was told, "If you do not have children, You are not a man.”

"Your children will be your backbone."

But they broke my back, they broke my heart.

Cursed be the day where I married.

Why I started in this misery?

I'm not him, boy.

We just look alike, that's all.

But that must be a spider there, not a cockroach.

Isn't that right?

I do not need a spider, I am Cockroach man.

Why I need of a spider?

That's it. I am Cockroach man.

What is your relationship? With Spider-Man?

What is my link?

I'm his cousin.

So you are his cousin?

That's right. His cousin.

Don't let Yonas cry, the neighbor is very boring.

Stay with your boyfriend. I'm coming back, Yoni.

[Ethiopian] This is your new friend, OK?

Zain is your new friend.

Are you sleepy?

[Ethiopian] Tell him you do not have the money.

I told him, but he does not want to do my papers for less than S 1500.

I absolutely have to renew them, they will expire soon.

Do as you can, but be quick.

Lots of girls are arrested.

Sometimes in the middle of the night.

You stink shit, shit!

Stop!

Take a seat.

Sit down, fuck!

It fell over!

Sleep, sleep

Come on, go to sleep.

But what do you want from here?

Blow, blow it out.

Blow, Zain.

How old are you, Zain?

I do not know. 12 years old, I think.

Do you have brothers and sisters?

Many.

- You don't miss them? - Yes.

The one I miss the most, it's my sister, Sahar.

- Where is she? - With her husband.

She's married?

Yes, and there was drums and a darbouka.

We had a party in the street.

People were throwing rice and flowers.

Congratulations.

Rahil Eresa.

- Last name? - Shifaraw.

Do you know why you are in prison?

Why are you handcuffed?

- 1 do not have a residence permit. - NO papers.

Where were you working?

I worked for a lady for 6 years.

Then you ran away?

She was not nice to you?

She beat you?

No, she was very kind but I fell in love,

and I got pregnant and I left

You got what?

I got pregnant and I left

Say, you speak Arabic well.

Do you understand everything I say?

- Yes I understand. - So no need for a translator?

No.

So you're gone so that Madame does not know.

I was scared of police, they'd take my son and expels me.

I was scared and I did not say anything to anyone.

So, you left Yonas with Zain.

When you came home, he had taken good care of him?

You never thought that he could hurt her?

I was scared the first two days,

but afterward I started to trust him.

Did you expect that Zain do what he did?

Never.

They were like brothers.

But I never blamed Zain

because I know Aspro.

Who is Aspro?

The guy who forged my permit.

Souk Al Ahad

I gave you until today, no?

But I talked to my girlfriend.

Her papers get made for $900.

Get her to make your papers then!

No but why this price difference?

Stop your blah blah, do not try to wind me up.

Calm down, that I can place two words.

I'm trying to help you, here.

Who gave you the name of Tigest? I did.

Gallop at your girlfriend who can you do them $ 900.

Do not do the malign.

I beg you, I could not find the S 1,500.

Look at that! Does it look fake?

Nobody will entangle you with these papers.

The woman on this paper

BOOM!

She exploded into a thousand pieces.

She had no one, no family. Nobody has claimed his body.

You will be able to remove your beauty mark, Not need for it.

OK, but give me a bit more time.

Darling, I said you can save $1500.

Give me Yonas and you will have the license for free.

Never say it again the name of Yonas,

I'd never do that!

Your kid lives like a fugitive in this country.

The day they discover him, they will expel you both.

You make him live underground like a rat.

He does not see the sun, he will never go to school.

I suggest you give him a family.

You will be able to see him from time to time.

I know how to hide my son.

How to feed him and take care of him.

I will not stop telling you: "Your son died before being born."

He does not exist.

Even a bottle of ketchup has a name.

With a production date and expiry.

I can not hear that anymore!

How much are you short?

'S 500. - You're short § 500?

I can buy a human being 500 S.

So you don't think that Aspro is a crook,

ll give you a reduction of S 200.

And I give you 7 more days.

Either you come here with the money, or with your son,

either I never want to see your pretty face here again.

You understand?

So take your time, all the time you need.

Look.

"Hello man. How are you, buddy? “

"Doing well, my brother"

"1 saw you rolling a joint.”

Me?

"Your mother is a big bitch."”

"What a jerk of piss.”

"Cocksucker thing."

"Stop your bullshit, fool

Bastard!

"Damn, your mother is ugly.”

Close your damn window! I'm tired of feeling your food!

I'm going to make her eat shit if she continues to annoy you.

I kill her or what?

What a shit, that bitch

Slut, whore

Are you going to...

[ Ethiopian] is enough, you need to get my pay!

You know the guy. It was you who found the job for me.

I'm not the owner, ll cannot give you the money.

If it was up to me, I would have given you the money.

I am Tigest, you know me?

You know me?

Come back in the afternoon, maybe the boss will be there.

No, not in advance. We are at the beginning of the month.

You are illegal, I already take a lot of risks.

Please, 1 will do what you want.

Here is the identity card of the boss.

I stole it for you. And you know how much she trusts me

It is not serious, it's for the little one.

You know what will happen to us if they learn our story?

They will expel you with the little one.

And God knows what they will do with me.

I am only a simple guardian.

They will replace me in the blink of an eye.

- You do not even want to see his picture? - I can not.

I beg you, leave.

Before, I worked at a lady's house.

Then, I ran away.

So, she has to pretend she's my old boss.

And to say that she doesn't want me anymore.

She does not want you anymore.

She will say that she wants transfer me to your home.

So you will become my new sponsor.

My boss.

That's Jacqueline.

Who am 1?

I am not Jacqueline but Daad.

I'm going to play Jacqueline's role.

You have to work for me?

But I do not need an employee.

Oh my God, I'm going to throw myself out of the window.

I can't pay for a maid.

I do not have S 500 to hire her.

Do you see this cockroach?

It already understood.

If 1 ask it, it can tell me the whole scam.

As with all Lebanese

To resist and to transfer.

Where do you live?

Arax.

Apartment?

"Later,” Zain.

I'm ashamed to ask her for money.

I love you so much, Mom.

Rahil?

Rahil?

Rahil?

Manara?

Yes, ho in.

I have not seen her since yesterday.

I thought she was sick.

She said she was going to the souk and she did not come back.

She may have gone to Aspro.

Aspro? Who is Aspro?

It has a booth Souk Al Ahad.

Pullovers for only 2000 pounds!

Sir, where is the Aspro shop?

Aspro? It's there.

The real Aspro?

Rahil?

On the paternal or maternal side?

This is her son Yonas?

Is not it?

What is Yonas doing with you?

Rahil left yesterday.

She has not come back since.

Give me Yonas.

It's my brother.

He does not look like you.

We are all born black like him.

And...

With time, we get lighter.

How much are these boxes?

It depends on the car.

Let's say a woman drives by

Look at her hand, if she's wearing a ring...

You say, "May God protect you

"and keep your husband.”

If she does not wear a ring,

you say: "May God send you a good husband.”

Stop licking your hands, they are too dirty.

Line-up over here, the Ethiopians

You are pregnant?

They'll take it from you.

Yes.

No kidding...

Isn't this better that a shawarma sandwich?

Do not swallow it whole, you will get sick!

Heeee!

You swallowed it in full?

Is it good?

Enjoy it, big guy.

No water?

Fuck this shitty country!

She does not ask about her son?

Do not try to find out how he's doing.

In fact, your mother is worse than mine.

After you, Mr. Yonas.

Go ahead.

Ibrahim!

Ibrahim!

Ibrahim!

What are you doing there?

I sell these pans.

These shitty pans?

Better than that stupid wreath you're carrying!

On the contrary, I sell it in two seconds.

They buy me everything.

You want to bet?

We bet a food dish.

I want meat rolls and Chich Barak. And you?

I would die for a dish of Chich Barak well hot

My God...

But not just a plate, 3 enormous one

Where does your food relief come from?

You talked about it last time.

Ah, do you mean the dispensary?

Anyhow, I'm leaving this country, I'm outta here.

Where to?

I leave you the business and all the rest.

All is for you.

Where are you going?

To Sweden.

There is a neighborhood full of Syrians there.

Nobody asks where you come from.

They do not harass you, nothing at all.

I will have my own room.

Nobody can enter without knocking. Ll choose who can enter.

In addition, children there die from natural causes.

I want to go with you.

Of course, but you need money.

How much?

About $ 300. Not much.

That's a lot, $ 300.

You know Os

I lost it while walking by the river.

You were strolling near the river?

Yes, and the papers fell to the water.

I could not catch them.

How did you come here?

We were at home, in Syria, when our neighbor

He denounced us, I think.

But I'm sure of nothing,

but I suspect it.

A shell fell on our house.

We started crawling like Rambo.

Rambo, the one who crawls.

Have you crawled?

Yeah, like him, in the trenches.

Well, what do you want?

What you can, but the essential, it's milk and diapers.

Milk and diapers.

And maybe ramen and vinegar crisps?

Stand up.

What are you looking at? Stand up.

What a Lamborghini! Come here, let me see that.

Rahil hasn't come back?

No...

I dunno. At home, maybe.

I need proof of your existence.

An identity card, an extract of a civil status,

a newspaper where there is your photo

So that I can take you out from the port of Beirut.

Understand?

No need to worry about Yonas.

I love him, and I will place him in a good family.

How long Have you been there?

None of your business.

Where did you go?

Anyhow, I did not come to see you,

Selim, do you know the best? Your son wants his papers!

Where are my papers?

Where were you all this time?

None of your business.

Not my business?

Why do you want your papers?

Do you want to work as a smuggler?

My papers, my ID card, no matter!

Nobody cares about you or us.

Do not play the little man, you little asshole!

Come, you'll see, I will give you your papers.

I have all kinds of papers. You just have to choose.

I have papers that will make me rot in jail.

I have an eviction notice.

And that's the paper Most important.

Come. Look at this paper!

A hospital bill that breaks my heart.

We are less than nothing, my boy.

Parasites.

You just have to live without papers

If not, I'll swing you through the window and I'm done with it.

You understand?

Leave or I break your mouth.

Let him go, Selim!

Tell whoever sent you I never got you papers!

Return from where you come from!

I fuck you and I curse the day you are born!

Who is in the hospital?

Not a word Selim, do not say another word!

Who went back to the hospital?

Who is in the hospital?

Make him leave home or I kill him!

- You bastard! - Who was at the hospital?

Talk to me.

Who was at the hospital?

What did he do to him, this son of a bitch?

Sahar is gone. It's finish.

She left?

She left? You will see what it is, to leave.

I will kill you with your bare hands!

Take off the handcuffs.

You are the husband of

- Sahar. - Sahar.

How old was she when you married?

- 11 years old - 11 years old?

A girl of 11 years is able to marry?

She knows what marriage means?

From what I know

Yes, she can.

I mean she was "ripe" already.

Really?

I did not know she was a tomato or a potato to be ripe!

Zain, calm down!

I did not know that she could die from it.

Lots of girls in the neighborhood get married at this age.

Even my mother-in-law was married very young.

She's here, still alive.

When did she get pregnant?

2 or 3 months later.

Everything was normal?

At the beginning, I did not notice anything wrong.

Then she started to bleed

She bled a lot.

And what happened next?

We brought her to hospital with her parents.

She died At the hospital gate.

We did not manage to get her admitted.

Can I know why they refused to admit her?

Because she has no papers.

Master, that's enough. You bombard her with questions.

I made the slave all my life and you dare to judge me?

By what right do you dare to judge me? Have you been in my skin?

Did you live what I lived?

No never, and you will never live it!

Not even in your worst nightmares.

In my place, you would have hanged yourself!

You imagine having to feed your children water and sugar,

because you do not have nothing else to give them.

I am ready to commit 100 crimes to keep my kids alive!

These are my children.

Nobody has the right to judge me. Ll am my own judge.

The flesh of my flesh!

You hear me?

The Syrian, Hussein

The Egyptian, Mohammad

Could we have your attention?

We are there, with the priest, to meet you

To have a good time with you.

To cheer you up a bit.

Come on, let's sing a song.

Zain Al Hajj, take your stuff and go to the office.

Zain?

Zain?

Zain!

Zain!

What are you doing there?

Zain, where is Yonas?

Zain!

Zain, where is Yonas?

Zain!

Where is my son?

Where is Yonas? Where?

Who did you leave him with?

My son is alone!

His eye

from this side,

is blue, blue, blue.

- His two eyes are blue? - No. This eye is brown.

And this eye is blue.

You are live on Freedom Forever.

Please lower the volume on your television set.

I've watched your show for a while now...

I know you always tackle social problems...

How are you?

You're sick? Did you catch cold?

Congratulations, are you no longer in mourning?

Do not you wear black anymore?

Why do you hate me so much?

Eat them, Zain.

Why do you want me so much?

I can do nothing. I could not do anything.

She was my daughter, it's my pain.

Why are you here?

When God takes you something,

He offers you something in return.

What did he offer you, God?

I am pregnant.

You're going to have a brother or a sister.

I feel sick

I hope it's a girl. It will be called Sahar.

Your words pierce my heart.

When you get out of here, she'll be walking, playing

I do not want to see you here anymore.

You are without heart.

Leave me alone, I want to go out.

Since the death of my father, I did not smile

Roumieh Prison for Minors.

Zain, why are you calling us? What can I do for you?

I want to complain against my parents.

Hey boys!

Zain is on television!

Zain, you're live. What would you like to say?

I want adults to listen to me.

I want adults who can't raise kids not to have any.

What am I going to remember?

Of violence, insults or beatings,

of the chain, the pipe or belt?

The sweetest word I'm told, it is: "get out, son of a bitch!"

"Bug off, piece of garbage!"

Life is a pile of shit.

It's not worth more than my shoe.

I live in hell here.

I burn like rotting meat.

How are you?

Life is a bitch.

I thought we would become good people

and appreciated by all.

But God does not want that for us.

He 'd rather we be washrags for others.

This child that you're carrying will be like me.

Zain, what do you want from your parents?

I want them to have no more children.

Stronger.

I want them to have no more children.

You want them to have no more children.

Yes.

I do not think they will do still children.

And who is in her belly?

He will be born, no?

We've discovered a depot where 15 people were sequestered...

Stand on the line.

A little to the right.

No, the left.

I mean your right.

But that's my right.

And that's my left.

Lift the chin.

Look ahead.

Smile.

Smile, Zain.

It's a passport photo, not a death certificate!
