Bekas Page #2

Synopsis: Iraq in the early 1990 was a devastating land to survive in. When we think of Iraq, the first thing that tends to pop into our minds is the war and Saddam Hussein. But there is another side too - it is perhaps the most notorious country in the world and it goes by the name Kurdistan. Welcome to BEKAS. This is a story about two homeless brothers (Zana, 6) and (Dana, 10) who live on the edge of survival. In the beginning of the story they catch a glimpse of Superman through a hole in the wall at the local cinema. Zana and Dana decide that they want to go to America and live with Superman. Once they get there he can solve all their problems, make their lives easy and punish everyone that has been mean to them. Zana, the younger brother, starts to make a list of all people he is going to tell Superman to punish. On top of the list is Saddam Hussein. Dana on the other hand makes a concrete plan for what they need to get there; money, passports, transportation and a way to get across the boa

Daia Shan? Daia Shanhan

She died giving birth to Karwan.

I have never liked him.

I know. But he is my only son.

I love her.

You do not need him.

You have me and my brother.

Oh, Zana. Run

He is lost. Save her!

Help!

No one will know how to swim!

Pull her up!

Quick, pull out!

- Live.

Please, Baba Shalid.

Zana?

- Yes?

Cut one in half.

Right.

Now it is in two parts.

Zana, my dear.

Take these and cut them too.

All at the same time.

Together, the family is strong.

Son.

You and Dana ...

Together, you are strong.

Me and my son...

Together we are strong.

So.

Zana, my dear.

Once I fixed a man's radio.

But because he had no money,

he gave me this watch.

I want to give it to you, Zana.

Please.

Thank you, Baba Shalid.

- You're welcome, son.

Please, dear.

Thank you again, Baba Shalid.

I will always be your son.

And you'll always be my son.

I hope that time is welcome.

Good day, dear.

Please, do not go!

Helliya, do not go!

Wait. Over here, fool!

What are you doing?

Why you broke the mirror?

Off of it. Get out of here!

This is a Helliyan, give it to him.

It is Helliyan!

Get off me! It hurts!

Zana, you can not go there.

It's not good for you.

I'm just going over to Baba Shalidin.

- Zana, you're just a kid.

You would not understand.

Zana, even street children, now is the

Baba Shalidkin dead.

Baba Shalid, do not leave me!

Zana.

We are here. What about America?

There is America!

Trust me,

it is not so far from the case.

Between us and America

is just such a long way to go.

What are you talking about?

We do not have a passport and money.

How could we go

to America? - You are right.

We do not have the money.

But we have this!

Do not talk sh*t,

what you can make with a handkerchief?

Damn it, brother!

For us to buy even Superman's.

This allows us to

to travel to America.

Gosh, how wonderful!

Welcome to all!

Soon we fly back to the man with the steel.

Where did you get that necklace?

- Come on, energy.
