HALIMA'S PATH

F***ing antenna.

Little bad weather and you can't

get any signal.

What's on the news?

- The usual, meetings, talking nonsense.

It started raining.

- Good, it's been a while.

Aunt! Halima!

- Safija?

Sit down, I'll get it.

Dear God Safija, what are you doing

here? You didn't walk here didn't you?

He'll kill me aunt, he'll kill me!

- Who's going to kill you child?

Father, when he finds out!

- Slow down, take it easy.

I didn't...

I didn't get it...

- What you didn't get? - I didn't get it!

How can that be, God save you!

It's late... It's two months late.

I didn't think...

- You didn't think anything! Who did it?

Alright child, crying won't help us,

we'll figure something out.

He'll kill me!

- Take it easy. Tell me first, who did it?

He has to marry you while

he's single, do you understand woman?!

You know what's your father like, head

will roll! - He can't marry me, he can't!

Why not? Is he married?

- It's not that...

Not what? - He's not ours.

- Serb?

I love him aunt, I love him!

- My God, what should we do?

Where's the boy?

- Around here, he should be here soon.

There he is.

- Is there something to eat?

I'm starving.

- You could've come earlier.

I'm serving dinner for the fifth time.

- I was checking on pigs.

Look at this weather, a storm.

- You did right, sit down Slavo, sit.

Drink one with your old man.

- No thanks.

Just to eat something, to get warm.

- Go one, take one. - I can't.

Leave the child alone.

- He's not a child anymore, and he won't

be single anymore soon.

- What did you hear? Lucky mother...

Now tell me, I heard you have some

girl over the hill, in Cemerua.

In Cemerua?

- Zora, these are man business.

He won't bring a Turk in the house, God

forbid! - Did you hear me? Not a word.

Tell me... is there something... or not?

What if there is? - Nothing, but I should

hear it from you, not from others.

If she's good for you, she's good for me

too. I don't have a problem with that.

You're sure giving him good advices...

I can't listen to that anymore.

I told her that she shouldn't listen,

didn't I?

Tell me, is there something or not?

There is. - There is?

There is. - Alright, and?

And what? - What are your plans damn it?

- I planned to marry her.

To marry her? - Yes, to marry her.

- But you know what will village say...

I don't care about that.

Me neither, but did you saw your mother?

She acts like she got bitten by snake.

And Germany? - I won't go.

- You won't...

I arranged everything, uncle is waiting

for you, he found you a job in Munich.

I don't want to go to Germany.

I want to get married.

Think about it again, there's no hurry.

- Dad, I don't have to think about it.

Think about it. If you still want to get

married after that, let it be.

F*** the village, and f*** Germany too!

And mom?

- F*** her too... I'll talk with her.

Eat that, it will get cold.

Safija?

Safija?

Safija!

Where's that girl?

Safija! Get over here, do you hear?!

Safija!

Child!

Safija!

Safija!

I'm here.

What Avdo said?

- He doesn't know yet.

No one has dare to tell him

that Safija is pregnant.

He's your brother, but he's a fool.

He'll make some trouble.

Do you have the money?

- Two thousand, it's enough.

You could've bring more, he's your brother

- Yes, but he's a fool, just like Avdo.

We don't have great brothers...

Where have you been brother, I drank

half the bottle while I was waiting.

Congratulation Mustafa, here's a chicken

and some pie. - You shouldn't have. Come in.

You have something to congratulate me

for. Here they are.

Good evening.

- Good evening. Congratulations Rapka.

How are you? - I'm fine.

- Great Rapka, I wish him all the best.

My dear Rapka how did you managed?

Was there someone to help you?

Vezirka was here, I don't know

how would I manage without her.

What are you doing? Hey, you shouldn't

have, you really shouldn't have.

Keep it, now you have one

more mouth to feed.

Dear God, he's so cute. Can I hold him?

- Sure, sure.

Halima, don't say he's cute, you'll

put a jinx on him.

Mustafa, we should rub some soot on him,

to prevent jinxes. - I'll do it.

He's so ugly, I can't watch him.

- That's it, I should rub him more often.

Did you named him? - You know what was

I thinking? Aron, real muslim name.

If you like it, it's fine for me too.

I never heard that someone

named his child like that.

Aron? - Aron.

- Mustafa liked it, no one even asked me.

Why should I ask you woman?

There, I let you gave birth to him.

Hard part is on me, I have to name him.

- Let him be healthy, name is irrelevant.

Let's leave them to talk. You know how

good is my schnapps? It was never better!

Let's check it. At least we have a

reason to drink.

You should've seen his dick. It's like

horses, hell, like mine!

Cheers! I wish him all the best.

- For my Aron, my offspring.

You didn't like name Aron too much huh?

I don't know... You could've name him

by our father, Husnija, pretty name...

When you have a son,

you name him by our father.

But how things are, I doubt

you'll have offsprings.

Salko, should we go already?

- No way, until we drink this!

Do you know what time is it?

- You can go home, but leave my brother.

You don't get nephew every day.

When he can't be happy for his,

at least he should be happy for mine.

Goodbye. Don't be long Salko.

- Goodbye.

You can be so full of sh*t Mustafa!

- What did I say? - You know what!

Did I said something wrong?

- Shut up!

I told you long time ago to kick her out

of the house. - Will you start again?

You're my brother, I can't look

at you like that.

Why the f*** would you look at me? Look

somewhere else! - Salko, I told you before,

women should have wide hips and big

ass. Look at my Rapka!

It's piece of cake for her to give birth,

not like your Halima, to hell with her.

Leave it... - Leave what? Why do you

need that for? Just for nagging.

Mustafa! Watch your mouth!

Leave Halima alone.

The hell I will! Good for nothing!

There's no use of her!

I'm asking you nicely to leave her alone.

- I'm telling you nicely

Kick her out of the house

while you still can! Don't let...

Leave Halima alone, God damn it!

Leave her, do you hear me?!

Salko, what the hell is wrong with you?

Worst thing is that you don't know

what's wrong with me.

Goodbye Rapka.

This brother of yours, has

lost his mind completely.

Rapka, shut it and watch your mouth.

To hell with good for nothing Halima.

You're not asleep?

- That kid worries me.

Safija?

That will not end well. You know

what's Avdo like.

Avdo's full of sh*t too.

He's overreacting.

Aron... To tell you the truth

I don't like that name at all.

Where did they found it?

If it's good for them, it's for me too.

Mutafa said that it's muslim name.

- Muslim name?

I don't know if it's from this world,

let alone if it's muslim.

I'm happy for them.
