F*** off!

It's Moussa who sent me.

To prove your innocence,

you've got to swear on the Qur'an.

Okay.

Amigo.

Good morning.

You're here at last.

- Is this your witness?

- Yes.

- What's your name?

- Ahidjo Moussa.

This is Grigris' witness.

Here is the Holy Qur'an.

He who commits perjury,

will suffer damnation.

Go ahead and swear.

In the name of Allah,

I am telling the truth.

Damn me if I am lying.

Traitor!

Traitor! Bastard!

Move it.

I've got a surprise for you.

He talked.

Get out!

Out!

Get in.

Get in the car.

Get in!

Disappear! Scum!

Get out!

Get out!

Move it!

Scum!

Thief!

Crook!

You've got two days.

If you don't return the gasoline,

Moussa says to kill you.

Rat!

Mimi!

Sh*t! What happened?

Come.

Did Moussa do this?

Why don't you report him?

Let's call the police.

We've no other choice.

Look what he did to you!

He's a brute.

Why did he do this?

Can I sleep here?

Yes.

But I won't be back tonight.

Hello.

I ran into Moussa.

He hit me.

He knows you're hiding here.

He'll kill us both

if you don't pay him back.

Why not call the police?

What's your plan?

- I don't know.

- You don't know?

You think you can stay here forever?

I'm not your mother!

- I'll miss you.

- Me too.

Take care.

You too.

If they come, swear you'll say nothing.

- Trust me.

- You know nothing.

Thanks.

Are you okay?

Mimi!

Fifi!

I've missed you!

You came at last!

- How are you?

- Well!

Fantastic! You haven't changed!

- I'm so happy to see you.

- Me too.

All's well?

- Darling!

- Let me introduce you.

Fifi, my best friend.

She's like a sister to me.

Hello!

Are you well?

Welcome to our village.

I'm Mimi's husband.

You didn't even invite me

to your wedding!

How's your husband?

The men are in the fields.

They'll only be back after the harvest.

- And the children?

- They're all here.

Isaac!

Khadidja!

Poupou!

Why did you say I-

we were married?

Hey, you!

Tell me it's okay!

- It's delicious.

- I'm so glad.

It almost picked something up,

then pfft!

It always lets you down

just when you want to listen.

But without a radio,

you're completely out off here.

At times I miss the city.

But I'm happy here

and get to sleep at night.

Do you love him?

Does he know?

Does he know who you are?

Then don't ever tell him!

With men, you never know

what tomorrow will be.

What's up?

- Fatim, peace be upon you.

- Upon you too.

Are you all right?

When was your last period?

Dunno. About two months ago.

Okay?

Yes.

I never knew my father.

I don't want the same for my kids.

I can't keep it.

I'll be the father of your child

and you'll be my wife.

But I'm a whore!

Do you understand? A whore!

Here, you're a woman

just like any other.

Sooner or later,

you'll resent me for my past.

Calm down!

Never mind.

Welcome!

You are our sister.

We welcome you into our community.

Your presence will swell our numbers.

We thank you for choosing our village.

The baby you are carrying is our joy.

Accept these gifts.

Thanks, thanks.

- I'm your princess?

- Yes.

- I'm your sunshine?

- Yes.

- I'm your life?

- Yes.

- You'd do anything for me?

- Yes.

Then say, Mimi, I love you!

Go on!

Why won't you ever?

Are you afraid?

Grigris is great. He loves kids.

He's so good with them.

If only our men were like him!

Our men, what a joke!

He hasn't even got a paunch!

What's up?

Can't you sleep?

I was thinking of my parents.

Don't worry. It'll be okay.

Grigris!

Fatim, have you seen Grigris?

No.

Is something wrong?

What are you doing here?

Stop!

Stop!

Fatim!

Help!

Get off him!

Fatim! Help!

Fatim!

Get off him!

Women! Attack!

Women! Help!

Come quick, everyone!

Let him go!

Back off!

This has nothing to do with you!

Go back to your own business!

Back off!

Are you going to let him go or not?

- Leave him alone!

- Mind your own business!

Leave him now.

It's our secret. Till the grave.
