Made in Europe Page #4

Synopsis: Stories of Turkish people living in three European cities Madrid, Paris, and Berlin. Most are illegal immigrants, and while seeking for permits or living in hide outs they go through life dealing with humiliation, insecurities, betrayals, self-pity. The stories reflect the schizophrenic nature of the immigrant world, which turns the movie into something more than life in Europe.

...want to, but you can't because you're

shy. He's not embarressed, that's all...

It's the same thing in fact.

Right, Celal, my brother? Give me five.

Good evening.

Good evening. Understood.

Ok. Of course... Got it.

Come on, take your stuff, let's begin,

there aren't too many things...

...today, a few old pictures,

tables, and some lamps.

I'm sure there are lots of things but

he doesn't tell us. Come on, wrestlers...

...let's get to work...

You're from Deliorman, aren't you?

No, I am from Kircali. In my region

we are all weightlifters. Wrestlers...

...come from Deliorman.

- Mehmet from Kurtdereli...

...was he from Deliorman?

Look how dumb you are, you said it like

he's "Kurtderelian from Kurtdereli."

Wrestler Celal, look what this man did!

Three dots he put on the corners of...

...the square and that's it. Who knows

how much they will pay for this?

- I can also do that.

- Lf Ismet abi looks at this picture

...he would say "Wow, what a

beautiful painting." And he would...

...keep talking about it,

as if he knows art.

- Doesn't it have its pieces?

- I didn't see it on the list...

...they would be here.

- Be careful, that was one of the...

...first chess tables to come to Europe.

- Ok, got it, dumbass.

Damn it's heavy.

As if it's made of marble...

- Who invented chess, Ismet?

- I think people from Horasan...

...in today's Iran more or less.

Or maybe Indians. If not, then I'm sure...

...they were Arabs.

- You just named every nation...

...I could say that, too.

- Then you shouldn't have asked.

Everything they have here now came

from our part of the world. Toilet...

...yogurt... I wonder how much the guy

made who first brought chess to Europe?

No money, but he got wheat

according to what I read.

- What do you mean?

- The French king liked this new game...

...a lot so he told the merchant

"ask whatever you want from me," and...

...he wanted wheat. You know how?

- You're bullshitting.

I swear. He said, on each square put

double the grains of wheat than the...

...previous one, he said.

And the king thought he was stupid so...

...he accepted. They started to count

wheat.1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512

...it went on like that. When they reached

the 30th square the number got so big...

...that they couldn't do it anymore.

Everyone working in the palace started...

...to count wheat grains. Mathematicians

couldn't even devise a better way.

Did you hear about this, Celal, the

story of the first chess board in Europe?

Maybe it's not the first one but one

of the first. When they understood that...

...they couldn't do this,

they cut off the merchant's head.

And they call us barbarians, f*** them.

In history every nation had a barbaric

period. If you only knew what the...

...French massacres in Africa,

you would have herpies on your lips.

Don't carry it on your own, you're

going to break your back!

- We carried heavier stuff than this.

- Sure you did, we believe you...

...but not without warming up... plus

it's not a well balanced thing to carry.

It's going to fall down, son

you can't see in front of you.

Abi, don't call me "son"!

Smoke's coming out of the fire.

- What kind of animal are you?

- While you were looking at paintings...

...like a woman, I was

carrying a big table, mister!

- I said wait, let's carry it together!

- When did you say that?

Fethi! Cut it out, enough.

- Sh*t Perfect, very good. Who did this?

- Does it matter?

- What do you mean does it matter?

- You know no one here has enough...

...money to pay for it.

- What should I do now?

You want me to pay for it?

- Don't cheat me, Remy! It's all insured.

- We're not selling insurance claims...

...tomorrow:
We're selling a chandelier...

or would have!

- What is he saying?

- You did that?

It was an accident.

Don't make such a big deal.

I'll have to face Francois tomorrow.

If Francois says anything, you tell him

"Ismet will expose all your sh*t," ok?

The tricks he uses to lower salaries,

the people he employs without papers...

...how he changes the paintings,

I will, I assure you!

Do it and you'll find yourself

out the door with all of them.

I don't mind, we're not desperate

for this work, are we kids?

Ok, that's it. It's over, get out and

come back tomorrow morning...

...for your money.

- No problem, we're going.

- We've already put everything in its place

- Sorry, Ismet abi. I got you into trouble.

I don't give a sh*t. Nothing will happen.

They'll forget tomorrow...

Fethi stop playing, come on!

See you later, my love!

What are we going to do now?

Thanks to you, we lost the job!

- God is great! We'll find something.

- F*** your God! So your God will...

...find us a new job.

- Watch what you say, I'm already angry.

The road back to doner kebab

is in our future, huh Ismet?

- Which one will you go back to?

- Serdar's place.

- I won't go back there, to hell with me

if I do. - Why, man? What did he do to you?

He accused us in front of the boss

in the old place, of selling hash.

- Who's "we"?

- Me and Mehmet.

- He accused me, too? F***ing worthless.

- What'd he say?

Damn, I made a joke. I was the waiter then.

They confused the orders, and I said...

"You started a war." In fact, I was

making fun of Hasan, Bulgarian Hasan.

- You keep making jokes about Bulgarians.

- F*** you, shut up. What does it have to

...do with anything? Since Hasan doesn't

speak good Turkish, he kept getting...

...it wrong. That's why Anyway...

So Salman started to speak...

"You're smoking weed, you're dealing

and stuff, and the boss knows me...

I said, let's go, man, let's go outside

if you dare. He didn't move, the son of...

...a b*tch. Later he calls me and...

...says he's sorry, f***ing p*ssy.

- What else did he say?

- What can he say, the insect?

- What you've just told about...

...happened years ago,

later on you worked together.

Were you smoking or dealing

during working hours?

Yes, but outside and

without disturbing the work.

- Would you bring me a coffee?

- What kind of coffee?

- Are you new here?

- Yes, I started today.

- Ilyas isn't here?

- He's eating. Do you want me...

...to tell him something?

- No. You just bring me coffee...

...Espresso, and put a

few drops of cognac in it.

- You became French, huh, Ismet abi?

- Come on, cut it out.

One day this same crazy guy we lived

in the same house. Over the restaurant...

Our boss also stayed there weekends.

One night Salman comes home so drunk

He puts a knife under my pillow. Then he

wakes me up. 'Why do you want to kill me? '

He asks. I was surprised. I say, 'What

are you talking about. Lie down and...

...sleep, fool.' 'What's this? ' he says,

showing me the knife. Maniac! That guy...

...is sick. Anyway, the boss was awake

and saw it all and watched Salman plant...

...the knife. If not he would have framed

me, the infidel. A drunk in the end...

So many things I could say

but never mind.
