But I cant waste

away in this room.

Do you remember when I

first married your brother?

He came home one evening and

said we were going on a honeymoon.

He was so happy.

He told all his friends.

And I have to admit...

I was happy too!

Then one night, your dad and mine

had a talk with him in the car.

They talked for a long time.

He refused to tell me about it.

And until this day,

Ive never left the area.

- I have to go to him.

- You know where he is?

All night long he

screamed Ryms mine!

Hes Khalifa Vancooten!

Wouldnt it be

better if he shut up?

- Why?

- Youve lost all integrity!

Hes only sentimental, not mean.

Sentimental? He

insults honest people!

- He lives in his basement...

- You shut up.

Ill show him who I am!

Take your hand away!

Hey, troubles brewing!

Rdouanes going to fight!

The last time I came

here was so long ago.

You and Khalifa set fire

to Uncle Alis place.

He messed with my mind, Habiba.

- They love each other, Mounir.

- He dishonoured her.

You can tell that

to whoever you like,

but not to me, and not here.

With us it was different.

Did it prevent me from

being happy with you?

We werent the same age.

Let them live their life.

Good morning, my girl. Ive

heard about a happy event.

I came to fulfil the prophecy.

- God sent you!

- Always!

- God is good.

- Come in.

- Please.

- Thank you, my girl.

- Are you the bride?

- Yes.

God bless...

I heard about the groom too.

Sheikh, Im still young

and dont know about things.

I dont want to do anything silly.

You couldnt make me happier.

People are usually in such a hurry,

they have no time for anything.

- First of all...

- Wait. Ill be back in a minute.

Well pretend its for real.

Ill be the bride and my

cousin will be the groom.

Now I understand!

- Have you understood?

- Ive understood.

Take your time, Im here.

Ill go and get the camera.

- Thats why Khalifas not at home!

- His car is here.

Stop.

- What do you want?

- Call Mounir for me.

- Hes not here.

- Then tell Khalifa to come out.

Hes busy.

This isnt what was planned.

She cant marry Khalifa!

Why did you let her

decide on her own?

Mounir will never trade

Vancooten for Khalifa,

a loser from a hell-hole,

a barefoot peasant!

I wasnt talking about you.

For a man, marriage is a victory.

Youre uniting with this

young lady to make a family.

You must cherish her, provide

for her and protect her.

In the name of God.

Amen. Praise be to God,

Lord of the Universe.

Now you may join your wife.

Sheikh, can you repeat whats

usually said at this moment?

Rym, according to the Prophets

tradition and divine law

you are now the wife of Khalifa.

Congratulations.

Where are you going?

This is a chance we cant miss.

Come on! Krimo, this is our chance.

Hamza, we cant miss this chance.

We were so close!

Hamza!

Im Rdouane Lamouchi.

Come back, Krimo! Come back!

Hamza!

We should think about a daughter.

- You want one?

- Id love one.

Well have to fill

the void left by Rym.

Khalifa!

Stop the car, Khalifa!

Stop!

- Watch out!

- You dont know where to go!

Well be fine. Watch

out for the cars!

Havent you noticed?

- I havent slept since yesterday.

- What?

Hang on, what did you say?

Since yesterday... I havent slept.

She hasnt slept. Shes not asleep!

My head is spinning.

When shes with me

she doesnt sleep.

She doesnt sleep!

With me she doesnt sleep!

If you so much as scratch her...

What are you all staring at?

Go home, go on!
