Just one.

Taloche, go and sit down.

Go back to your seat.

Chouroro!

In the silent and perfumed garden

with its distant...

We'll be back, Miss Lundi.

Get out your passbooks!

Come out of there!

Come on!

This is filthy!

This stamp's illegible!

I have two stamps on my bottom.

- It's true!

Stay on this land now.

Don't move.

That's an order.

You there, come here.

Don't act smart.

We're watching you.

Sit back down.

You're obliged to stay put.

The whole tribe!

So no funny business, got that?

On orders of the prefect,

horses requisitioned.

Not our horses!

Our horses!

Don't let them steal our horses!

I'll kill them.

Calm down!

They'll only arrest you!

You can't go back to prison.

That one's worthless.

Get the two beauties

and that black one.

My Lords, don't take our horses!

Hands off!

Turn the head!

F*** the earth!

My father told me,

during a war, he and his family

hid a long time in a forest.

When they came out,

the war was over.

Get lost, Taloche!

Leave him.

Come on, Taloche.

Taloche is a great man.

Sit down.

We have to leave here fast.

We must get our family to safety.

I'll come back

to kill Pierre Pentecote.

I'm against it.

There'll be reprisals.

I say we mustn't

take to the road again.

This war isn't like the others.

We know the way to Belgium.

There, we'll be with our family.

If you kill Pierre Pentecote,

you'll bury our family.

I agree with my uncle and my mother.

We mustn't move from here.

Moving around is getting dangerous.

Be careful.

- You think I'm not careful?

- Be careful anyway.

The message?

Everything we agreed on. Bread...

Cheese...

Pork fat...

and hooch.

This is extra.

all right?

Thanks.

They'll play all night for you.

I need everyone in the fields.

I'll bring the truck at 5:00.

We'll bring the children.

You have to pay them.

We'll pay the children too.

- Do you want some water?

- Please.

Thank you.

- See you at the town hall tomorrow.

- See you there.

Good-bye, Miss Lundi.

Don't forget this.

Tina!

What's going on?

What is this sh*t?

Goddamn it!

Take the cuffs off.

Why are you doing this, Pentecote?

Why do you lock us up like dogs?

To rid France of her vermin.

How many are you?

Fifteen.

You can go here.

Stay here, Taloche.
