me or the neighbors?

I need you.

How will I be able to see you?

I think I made myself clear,

stop coming, I don't want any problems because of you.

Come in.

Welcome.

--Thanks.

Are you ok?

--Yes, thanks.

First time?

Really? First time ever?

--I've never done it.

Don't be afraid.

I almost forgot...

It's important, isn't it?

Not that important...

I'll see you tomorrow...

--Are you using my perfume?

I'll call you back.

Your stinky perfume? I don't think so...

It smells way better than you

and it's a gift from Ahmed, don't touch it!

Go f*** yourselves,

you and Ahmed...

Who the f*** you think you are??

YOU go f*** yourself

and leave us alone already!

Hi...

--What a haste!

Is she leaving?

--She just needs a good f***.

You never come visit.

--You know, work...

This as well... --Hey, have got fat?

--Don't tell her...

I look better this curvy...

Haifaa, darling,

how's your beauty?

Very well, God save her...

I don't think I ever been this pretty...

Cheers!

--To us all... and to my beauty.

I raise a glass to my beauty

and you raise a joint instead?

My beauty deserves a toast, not a joint...

Your beauty deserves a kiss.

--A kiss then.

May God watch over me!

He lives in Spain.

So you've seen Spain.

--Yes, on the internet...

It's a big, beautiful country...

no one tells you what to do, you're free.

Dad said I can go there if I want...

He'd be happy.

--Seriously? You're going there?

I'll take you with me.

Imagine me and you in Spain,

going out together...

Without Arabs insulting you

and pissing you off...

Without having someone constantly

trying to ruin your day...

Go out in the morning and you're in peace.

That's real life... you know, Randa?

Better yet... senorita Randa.

Many of my friends keep telling me

I look more Spanish than Moroccan...

Must be the hair...

--Also the features and the colors...

One day I'll go.

It's easier for you

'cause your dad already lives there.

What's wrong?

--I can't...

I just can't...

How come it never gets hard?

--Can't...

Is there something I can do to help you?

How about a movie? --A movie?

--A porn movie... with sex...

I think that could help...

Anything you want.

That one.

Let's try again.

What are you watching?

Pictures of naked men...

--What pictures?

It's not my laptop...

Whose laptop is then?

Let it go, it doesn't concern you...

It does concern me!

You never get hard and then I find pics of naked men!

It's not your business!

Don't stick your nose in my computer!

You just stay here in the bed!

What... come back here!

Where are you going?

Where??

Answer me when I talk to you!

Let me go!

What's got into you?

I have a dignity!

You humiliated me!

I too have a dignity

and you're not leaving this room!

What dignity?

You screw men!

I decide when you can leave, got it?

--You're hurting me!

I decide when you can go!

--You bloody f*ggot!

Shut up!

B*tch!

You're worth nothing, not one cent...

A real man doesn't spend the night with a woman

without even touching her... f*ggot!

Shut up, b*tch!

Keep your moth shut, understood?

Hi, are you better?

--A bit, thanks.

Hasn't the doctor seen her?

--Nurse said we gotta wait here.

I'll wait outside.

What have you got?

A guard tried to steal my money

and punched me in the stomach... but I'm pregnant, so...

Pregnant?

You're not from around here.

--No I come from Tlate... Tlate Sidi Bennour.

What are you doing in Marrakesh?

I work as a housemaid.

Open...

Open your mouth.

It hurts like this?

--No.

Thanks.

Here, eat up.

--Thank you.

You must be hungry.

--I am.

Enjoy.

--Thanks.

Have some with me.

--No, go ahead.

You heard...

What did the doctor say?

She's gotta take some medicines

and come back in two days.

Are you eating? --No, thanks.

--I'll get the cab.

How's your stomach?

--Better.

So, where's the father?

--Vanished into thin air...

I ran from the village before it started showing.

Are you rally a housemaid?

Actually I am not a housemaid...

I go around, try to make a living...

grab whatever I can.

I used to work in a bar.

After the owner got what he wanted

he just kicked me out.

Where do you live?

--Here and there... I sleep wherever I can.

Where are you sleeping tonight?

--I don't know, half of the night I spent it here anyway.

You like this movie?

--It's beautiful.

Look how good they dance.

--I love it.

He loves her.

--Don't touch, they both love each other.

A romantic set without me??

There's that pretty boy.

--She's pretty too.

I'd give him a 50% discount...

I'd like to see that...

I mean it... he's just so handsome.

What's got into her?

A dancing "pice monte"...

A dancing christmas tree... with that robe on.

Is that how you dance in your village?

No, we have our own dances.

How did you learn Indian dancing?

Self-taught... I'm the only one who can do this.

Did you hear that?

What modesty!

Imagine her in a movie with Shahrukh Khan...

he looks at her and says:

"Hlima, you're my love, Hlima!"

"Hlima, I love you!"

--Doesn't work well with Hlima...

Let's make it Halouma then.

"Halouma!"

Wait, I got it!

Ahlame!

Ahlame... nice.

From now on you'll be Ahlame.

I prefer Hlima.

--You're no longer in the country, Ahlame is better.

Hlima.

--Let me explain...

You prefer "Hlima, have you milked the cows?"...

..or "Ahlame, call the chauffeur"?

Said is the chauffeur?

Ahlame... and Said.

--Together...

Ok, let's go with Ahlame then.

Keep watching the movie, Ahlame.

--She changed her mind when you mentioned Said.

Ahlame...

Ahlame...

--You're pretty too.

Let us watch too!

Softly...

I can't get those bastards out of my mind.

Who wants to f*** me?

How much?

--Take a good look and name a price.

What's your name?

--Hlima, but the girls call me Ahlame.

I like you.

I wanna see you again.

If you really wanna see me again

you gotta be generous...

Of course.

100 Dirham?

Is it a joke?

I can give you some vegetables too.

100 is too few

but I'll take the vegetables anyway.

5 kilos.

--And what about the other girls?

I want 10 kilos.

Come out if you're a man, you bloody f*ggot!

You and those bastards friends of yours!

Noah!

--Either you help me or shut up!

You saw what they did to her,

those bastards! Motherfuckers!

Let me go!

You saw her!

Please help me, God...

You know how I feel...

You stand by me...

Lord, I'm no innocent girl...

Behaving good...

But I'm asking for your forgiveness...

I'm begging you to forgive me.

I've been so lost,

so many things passed me by...

I've been with men,

I sold myself...

You were always here though

and I know you won't forsake me.

Hi, dear.

What you're up to?

--Here...

I'm going to have a good time...

--Alone?

Let's move on...

--Let me talk to my friends... I'll call you...

Don't pull me! Wait...

Let go of me!

Go to hell, drooling geezer!

What the hell is going on?

--Nothing...

Show me your papers.

--I don't have 'em...

Then you come with us.

--Where are you taking her?
