the news, it's not easy.

Come on, let's just eat.

Yes, please, let's eat.

Mama, can you pour

me some water?

Look what I found.

You always have an

excuse not to eat!

Leave her alone.

She's a little girl.

It's good that

she has interests.

At least they're

not stupid things.

Is this what it's like

in your country?

It's like that,

but it's not like that.

Do you like where

you're from?

Yes.

What do you like

most about it?

My daughter.

- You have a daughter?

- Yes.

What's her name?

Zeina.

How old is she?

Seven.

Seven.

That's nice.

Are you married?

- No.

- No?

Then take your clothes off.

Grandma.

- Can I have some water, please?

- Yes.

Remember to put your hair

up when you're at the table.

Fine.

You can't be at the table

with your hair down.

You can't have your

hair in the plate.

- Don't worry about it, honey.

- Eat.

Who am I supposed

to listen to?

Listen to what's right!

Tonight we have these two

young boys with us at the table.

Yes, yes, yes.

- Is everything all right?

- Yeah, I'm chilling.

And this one, "lima surda!"

These guys really

work hard, though!

You like it?

You like it?

Marta, ask him if he likes it.

He understands if you

don't speak dialect.

Okay.

They understand.

When they want, they understand.

But how do they live?

Let's stop talking

about problems.

Tonight, in my house,

we're gonna talk about

positive things, okay?

Come on, gimme five!

Please, let's not talk

about our problems, enough!

No, no, no.

Mama, be quiet or else...

Okay, let's pretend

it's nothing.

So...

is she gonna show up?

Aseta's not answering.

Really?

Maybe she doesn't know

how to use the computer.

Look, look!

Rosarno!

This morning, police evicted

African immigrants from

the historic center of Rosarno.

All this because

the local residents

wanted the immigrants cleared

from their neighborhood.

- I will go. This is f***ed up!

- Sit down!

No, I will not sit down!

They took my stuff,

drove me out of the house,

for what'?

No, no, no!

We need to go, understand?

No, no, no.

No.

F*** that.

I'm going home!

Everybody, out!

Come on. Come on.

Let's go.

What are you waiting for?

Let's go.

Papers!

Where are your papers?

Shut up!

Sit still!

Let's go.

Ayiva Seihon.

Mary Elizabeth Innocence.

What the hell happened?

Sh*t!

Where are you going?

I'm going to work.

Ayiva!

We have to do something.

And another season

winds down.

Where are you off to next?

I don't know

where I'm going.

I can get you another job

at Marta's birthday party.

Can I ask you something?

Go ahead, Ayiva.

Can you help me get a...

work contract...

so that I can get

a residence permit?

I understand you, Ayiva.

When my grandfather

went to America,

he was in New York City.

He worked hard, really hard.

But he earned

almost nothing.

He and his family had to

take care of each other...

with his sisters,

with his brothers,

with his cousins.

That's how people

should do it:

Help one another.

You're a good worker, Ayiva.

You handled

yourself really well.

Hello.

What happened?

It's bad.

They killed two blacks.

Have you seen Abas?

I tried to call him,

but he's not picking up.

I don't even know

where he is.

- Have you seen Abas?

- No, get in the car!

Come here, get in the car!

Ayiva!

I called Arafat;

He's joining the protest

with the others.

Is Abas with them?

I don't know if he's

there or not.

I don't know.

There.

Let's get out of here.

Ayiva, we have to do this.

Stop shooting blacks!

Stop shooting blacks!

Stop shooting blacks!

Go, go, go.

Go.

Run.

Stop shooting blacks!

Abas.

Abas.

Abas.

Abas.

Come.

Slowly...

If you're looking for

something positive,

at least there's this:

He can get a residence permit

on humanitarian grounds.

It would last

at least a year.

No. No.

We're going home.

It'll be better.

Hello.

Hello.

Put the video on.

Hello.

Hey, here you are.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm okay.

You don't look okay.

This is what I always

look like here.

Maybe,

but you look tired.

The computer Works Well,

and We installed

the solar panel.

For now, it's fine,

but what will we

do if it breaks?

Take it to the shop.

Get it fixed.

- Okay.

- Mm.

Where are you now?

Show me where you are.

These places

all look the same.

Look who's here.

Hello, Zeina.

- Hi, Dad.

- Mm.

How are you?

I'm good.

You?

I'm good too.

Where is the present

I sent you?

What?

The present I sent you.

- I'm so happy to see you.

- Mm.

Yes, I have it.

Do you still have

the music?

Yeah.

This is my favorite one.

Yellow diamonds

in the light

Now we're standing

side by side

As your shadow

crosses mine

What it takes to

come alive

It's the way I'm feeling

I just can't deny

But I've gotta let it go

We found love

in a hopeless place

We found love

in a hopeless place

We found love

in a hopeless place

We found love

in a hopeless place

Hello.

Hello?

Hello.

She loves your gift.

She never puts it down.

And she tells everyone

that her father

spent 1,000 euros on it.

- Hello.

- Hey, Ayiva.

What are you doing here?

Me?

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

Are those yours?

They're mine now.

Okay.

Be careful, man.

Ayiva.

Give me a cigarette.

And a light.

You are always

breaking my balls.

Thank you.

Good-bye, Ayiva.

Good-bye.

Now, Mrs. Fondacaro,

your moment has arrived.

A special song

for little Marta.

Give her a round

of applause.

"Sara Perche Ti Amo. "

Ayiva, let's go inside

and have a drink.

sync, fix:
