No "camp", no... don't say "camp"...

Hey there...

-Hey there...

Not in front of Roby!

He doesn't know...

-Yes he does!

Come here...

-Don't touch me...

You're mine, little girl.

-He's watching us!

Don't fight...

-Don't touch...

Don't touch me in front of the kid!

He's just a kid, who cares...

Why don't you play with him, he's your nephew.

Don't you like kids?

No, wait... kids are women's stuff...

Come on...

I go get lunch ready.

You've got the toys, stay there.

Anita! Come back here!

I know you're not sleeping...

Look what I brought you.

Didn't you love chocolate?

Maybe I'm wrong... too bad...

I'll give 'em to someone else.

I was right then... the Miss wasn't asleep...

You like 'em?

Eli...

Do you love me?

I wanna know.

-You already know...

No... I don't...

Yes...

Of course I love you.

You'll wake the whole building...

You can't do laundry this late in the night.

Why are you crying?

Did you like it?

We're back!

Here's my little prince...

Mommy...

My love!

Mommy is back... Eli?

Bring the luggage inside.

Any presents for us?

Wait... sit down...

Camp...

What did you tell him?

Camp...

What have I told you when you got here??

What??

-You don't tell such things to a baby!

Let her go!

-Answer me!

What's going on??

Do you know how she looked after Roby

while we were gone?

Talking about the camps!

-Is that true?

How would I know? When she looks after

the kid I'm always at work!

I had told her to leave Auschwitz outside.

Did you hear?

It's alright...

Zulejka... how's work going?

Fine.

Mr. Roth is a good man.

-Yes.

What's this?

It's for you...

Very kind of you, Zulejka.

Nobody will talk to Roby about the camps...

-Stop it now... she had enough.

Also, the Purim is near... and I want everybody happy

and in peace with each other.

Alright... I'll help you sewing your dress.

You know what Purim is?

-Of course, it's the Jewish carnival.

And king Achashverosh spoke...

And said to queen Esther...

Who is and where is him who

dared behave this way?

And Esther replied:

"A hostile man, an enemy,

this evil Haman!"

Sing!

What do the words mean?

When the Rabbi sings, everyone sings...

When the Rabbi dances, everyone dances...

When the Rabbi drinks, everyone drinks...

When the Rabbi laughs, everyone laughs.

But when the Rabbi weeps...

He weeps alone.

Come on, one kiss...

No... leave me alone...

You're beautiful, you know?

You were after Monika, I saw you.

-You saw what?

You think it's normal to kiss your sister-in-law?

Everybody kisses everybody in the Purim...

"Make love on the Purim night...

and your future will shine bright..."

You don't love me...you never did...

-Yes I love you, loved you, love you....

You're drunk...

Have a nice day.

No kiss?

Thanks for the help, the ships are coming to Marseilles...

looks like everything's fine.

Uncle Jacob... you don't need to worry.

You know where they're taking him?

-To Prague... and then to Marseilles.

Lucky him.

When is your birthday?

-January 26, and yours?

Mine is on April 12.

-In the springtime...

No chit-chat please...

I was thinking... Isaac and Ismael were brothers,

both being sons of Abraham...

So?

So why Jews and Arabs hate each other?

They come from Ismael, us from Isaac...

Same forefathers, aren't we brothers and sisters?

Brothers and sisters can hate each other,

especially if they have to share one land.

Christians and Jews don't get along,

and yet Jesus was Jewish.

Wouldn't it be great if I could come

with you in Palestine?

But your family is here.

My aunt can't stand me.

-Why?

I remind her of things she wants to forget.

She survived, but the man who saved her didn't.

Neither my mom and dad.

But you did.

That's why she's so uncomfortable with me.

Why she makes you too feel uncomfortable?

She never hugs me, never smiles at me,

everything I do is wrong.

I think you should be more concerned about Eli.

-What makes you think that?

I don't like the way he treats you.

-He's not mean...

He's like that cause they burned his girlfriend alive...

we have to understand...

You think he loves you?

He says he does, when I ask him.

-And what about you?

Do you love him?

Yes...

I'm afraid I do...

Milan!

Milan, don't go!

Good morning...

-Good morning.

Please, come in.

So, can you play?

-Yes... a little...

Can I ask you a question?

-Of course.

Are you in love?

Why do you ask?

Well... I saw you kissing a boy.

Yes... he's my boyfriend.

I... I was....

I was wondering... how does it feel

to be in love?

It's hard to explain...

The best way to answer you may be this...

What is love?

Is it like when you're freezing

and suddenly you find a warm fire?

Or maybe it's like a feather,

so strong that leaves you breathless...

Or it's such a wonderful thing that if you

try to describe it, it gets angry and...

...loses all its wonder.

He's late?

As always...

I'll take you home, if you want.

Let's go.

Do you ever wonder who are we?

Our people, I mean.

Here, we are nothing.

Is that why you study Hebrew?

My parents felt they were more Czech than Jewish,

I wanna be just Jewish.

You never told me what happened to your parents.

My father was a scientist.

He didn't wanna be deported.

He took his own life.

Along with my mother.

They left me with a colleague of my father,

above suspicion cause he was a fascist.

Then they went back home and

shot themselves in the head.

I can't forgive them for that.

That's why I wanna go as far as possible from here.

Can't you hurry up?

-No... first tell me where you wanna go.

Stop asking, forget that carpet and come.

There he comes.

Do you know why I brought you back here?

Someday we'll ride him... you and me.

Ride him far away...

Far from everything.

You and me alone.

Where to?

Wherever he wants to take us,

as long as it's far away.

You really mean that?

Of course I do.

Of course I do...

David...a wonderful thing... Eli loves me!

Where's David?

He's gone.

Gone? Where?

That I don't know.

Where's David?

-He went with Sarah.

David's gone!

-Sarah took him to Prague this morning.

Prague?

-The trucks for Marseilles leave from there.

He left without saying goodbye...I saw him yesterday...

he didn't tell me...he was gonna....leave....

Milos! Bring ammonia!

Here...

Shall I ever see him again?

Of course you will... if you'll go to Jerusalem.

Roby.... Anita feels a bit sad today...

Her best friend went away.

Luckily I got you to cheer me up.

Is that right?

What you're doing?

No, Roby...

I'm exhausted...

Hey... you're shaking...

What happened?

Eli... I'm pregnant...

Don't be silly... it can't be.

Yes it is...

If it's true that's your fault.

-Mine? Don't you have something to do with it?

I didn't get you pregnant!

-No one else ever touched me, you know that!

What do I know? Your word against mine.

-You should be ashamed of yourself....

Keep your voice down...they can hear us.
