Only Human Page #6

Synopsis: Leni takes Rafi to meet her family in Madrid. Leni's family is Jewish - mother, father, older sister and daughter, brother, and grandfather. Rafi is Palestinian, in Spain since age 12. Before her father returns from work, Leni reveals Rafi's origins. He accidentally drops a block of frozen soup out the flat window, probably killing a passerby. Leni initiates a cover-up and Rafi figures out the body is probably Leni's father. The body disappears and without telling the rest of the family what they know, Leni and Rafi organize a search for dad. Mom is sure he's having an affair. Leni's belly-dancing sister kisses Rafi. Her brother grabs a rifle to shoot the Arab. Can anything be put right?

against an illegal occupation.

If you stopped blowing up buses,

there wouldn't be one.

No more settlers.

We want our refugees back.

Only a few of you

would give us a country.

And thousands of you

would like to blow us away.

With homemade bombs.

You have nuclear missiles.

To survive! We had to learn

to defend ourselves.

You forced 750,000 Palestinians

to expatriation.

- You left because you wanted.

- We were intimidated.

- With citizenship?

- We're fifth-class citizens.

Excluded while

you expropriated us.

You could have had

your own country.

You were offered that

with an international Jerusalem.

We accepted it.

You didn't because

the Arabian countries

offered you a war

to win our land.

- Our land.

- Since when?

Forever.

- Who built Jerusalem?

- The Jebusites.

Israel existed

before Palestine.

And Canaan before Israel.

It's settled then.

We'll give it to the Canaanites.

They no longer exist.

- So?

- So what?

- Exactly.

- Exactly.

What was that

about killing Dad?

- Yes.

- No.

She didn't do anything.

I did it.

I dropped the soup

out the window,

which by the way

is cooked with cumin.

You have also stolen

our recipes,

but I'm going to give myself

in to the police now.

- Where is he?

- What?

- Where on earth were you?

- Looking for my duck.

- What did you do?

- I don't know what you mean.

What's going on?

Take Mom off me!

- Stay put!

- I can't see what's going on.

There's nothing to see.

- Don't point that at me.

- What are you doing, David?

I've seen his suitcase.

He's Palestinian.

- That's why he knew the Koran.

- We already know that, a**hole.

- Don't point that at me.

- He's a terrorist.

He has Arabian texts

and a recorder

with encrypted instructions.

- He teaches Arabian literature!

- He had blood on his shoe.

He killed my duck

and hid the corpse.

- He killed Dad.

- What about my duck?

- David!

- Help!

- Mom!

- Leave your brother alone.

I'll shoot!

David, no.

Yes?

It's Dad!

As president of the community,

I inform you that...

I warn you that this kind

of behavior is unacceptable.

Unacceptable.

- As president of...

- Stop right there!

Dad.

Move. Cuky.

- What's up?

- We thought you were dead.

Maybe it's his spirit.

Where are his pants?

I found him like that

in the street.

- Thank you very much.

- You're welcome.

Did you go to the hospital?

Did you see a doctor?

Try to remember.

Where have you been?

- Do you know who we are?

- Yes, but I don't know him.

This is Leni's father, Ernesto.

This is Rafi.

He's going to marry your daughter.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- Congratulations, sweetheart.

- No, Dad, Leni.

We should take him

to the hospital.

- How do you feel?

- Fine.

We're going to a hotel then.

- It's mine, mine.

- Mine!

Bye. Don't look for us.

Who has the keys?

How about all that confusion?

I'll stop by tomorrow

to get my stuff.

Where will you spend the night?

It doesn't matter.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Come on, Leni.

- Mom, Mom.

- What?

I love you.

Go back to your urologist.

He wouldn't let me

urinate peacefully.

- We'll never think the same way.

- We won't get bored.

Let's not fool each other.

If I'm Pal...

And you're Jew...

Nobody's perfect.
