Are you going to Nablus?
It's crooked.
- What?
- It's crooked.
- The bumper?
- Yes, what do you think?
- But it's new.
- Maybe so, but it's crooked.
I'll take it back to check it.
That won't do any good,
it's crooked.
- Doesn't look it to me
- Or is it that I'm blind?
You could be wrong.
- Appearances are deceiving.
- Look, kid
I see very well,
thank Allah.
- It's not crooked.
- It is, it's crooked.
- There's nothing more to see.
- No, there is.
Abu Salim should come to see it.
- What?
- That.
- It will be because you see bad.
- What did you say?
It's straight.
Let Abu Salim see,
he'll tell you.
Check with a level.
Who sees bad?
You see bad.
Look, it's not the bumper,
it's the ground.
Don't trick me,
I have eyes.
The ground is sloped,
the bumper is fine.
Where is Abu Salim?
I want to talk to him.
Abu Salim isn't here,
we can resolve this.
Didn't you hear me?
Call Abu Salim.
It's crooked
like your father.
- Which side is crooked?
- The right.
Well, you're right - it is crooked.
You risk losing me work.
- Why didn't you say anything?
- It wasn't Said, it was me.
You'll end up in jail
and nobody will go to see you.
- Hi.
- Hi Suha, how's it going?
You know,
Life has many twists and turns.
- Do you have my car?
- Sure.
He's already a grandfather.
Said, take a look.
Come here, Khaled.
Still not finished.
Why do have this old car?
Buy yourself a new one.
I like old cars,
They kind of go with me.
You'd like an Alfa Romeo
much better.
An Alfa, do you think?
There aren't any many
in the West Bank.
Because the spare parts are expensive
and hard to find.
The truth is,
cars don't interest me much.
But I like the name.
Alfa Romeo.
You can pick it up tomorrow,
the Othman checkpoint is closed.
- Do you mind?
- Doesn't matter to me.
Don't make fun of my accent.
I was born in France,
and grew up in Morocco.
- And now I have returned.
- Welcome.
Thanks,
I'll see you tomorrow?
- It worked.
- There is wind...
What are you doing tomorrow?
Looking for work, I have to.
Where did you get that cassette? Belt?
I'm not familiar with it.
I found it.
In Suha's car.
Did you find it or steal it?
I think you like her.
Forget it.
You're lucky,
she's the daughter of Abu Assam.
OK, OK, I'll shut up.
Just in time.
It's cold.
Can you close the window?
There's too much wind.
The electric windows
are broken. I'm sorry.
I can't.
It costs a thousand shekels to repair it.
It's too expensive.
Some day everything is going to be better.
You're not from here.
Are you married?
What did you ask?
- If you are married.
- See you tomorrow.
- See you.
- Hey, how's it going?
- Hey, what's up?
- Same as always out there.
- There's a lot that you don't get to see.
- I haven't moved from here.
- In Sweden,
the cars respect
the traffic lights.
The pedestrians look
where they're crossing.
But they have a higher percentage
of suicides.
What?
What do you find so interesting with
that awful place?
They're crazy.
And I've never seen
a queen so ugly.
But she has a nice face.
She tells us how to deal
with informers.
We care less about her
than the collaborators.
them all.
Drag them into the street
and shoot them.
- Who?
- The collaborators.
Of course.
Their families, their neighbors
and anyone who gives them money.
You would kill them all?
Why the friends and their family too?
What happened to you, are you Swedish?
A little more.
That's it,
three centimeters to the left.
That's it, perfect.
Lift your head a little.
Less.
Back more.
Another step back.
That's it, don't move.
Come on, a smile.
Come on, smile.
If you don't smile
I can't take the photo.
I don't want to.
I can't make you.
You're in a hurry?
OK, I'll have them tomorrow.
- Good night.
- Good night.
How are you?
Good, you?
Can't complain.
How's it going in the garage?
- Same as always.
- They fired Khaled?
- Yes, but it wasn't his fault.
- This time.
It surprised me
that it took so long.
Do you remember
the martyr Abu Assam?
Although it cost him
his safety,
he said that to fear death
is to be dead.
And he had no don't doubt that
death would come soon enough,
without pain.
They spent millions
to capture him.
When they surrounded him,
he knew that he was finished.
He opened the door and shouted:
"You've come too late."
Listen, Said.
We've decided to take revenge.
On the killers of Abu Hazem
and the son of Um Jaber
who died
in the air raid.
It will be tomorrow in Tel Aviv.
Khaled and you have been chosen.
You will go together, like you wanted.
Tomorrow?
Yes, are you ready?
Yes, of course. It's the will of Allah.
You'll spend the night
with your family.
You already know
that you cannot reveal it to anyone.
Sure.
I will be with you
until you go.
- Are you happy?
- I am. I give thanks to Allah.
Mama.
You're very late.
You're preoccupied.
"You're very late.
You're preoccupied."
If I'm so late,
then tie me up with the dog.
- I'm sure that we don't have one.
- Quiet, quiet.
- How are you, Jamal?
- Very well.
And school?
Less trouble than taking care of the kids?
I'm trying,
education is important.
Please.
Thanks, Said.
Take off that shirt.
It's my favorite
and you wore it to work.
I didn't know it.
Jamal is going to sleep here, mama.
- The street is cut off.
- You're always welcome.
- Take it off.
- Enough.
I got a permit for Israel.
Tomorrow I am going to work
in Tel Aviv.
- When did you get it?
- Today.
Congratulations,
it's fantastic, my son.
- Have you spoken with Abu Salim?
- Not yet.
You should - you were lucky
that he hired you.
He has plenty guys
to work cheap.
Don't sing a victory song yet,
you should find work.
But tell me,
how do you get through,
young people, now that you can go?
They're starting to let people pass.
Jamal is in charge of everything.
Allah bless Jamal.
Take this.
But what is this?
What's happening?
What's going on?
- But, what is this?
- What is happening?
Stop being a fool
you're driving me up the wall.
- Have you eaten?
- Yes, thanks.
Can I stay to sleep?
They have cut off the road.
You are always welcome.
I already told you
that you could stay.
Pass me the salt.
Salt, Jamal?
You're so good,
you know how to cook.
Thanks.
Have you changed the filter, mama?
Shut off that radio
that you brought in.
Said.
What happened, did something happen?
- I brought you the keys.
- What?
You brought me the keys?
At four in the morning?
Yeah, I know...
I took them without asking.
Well...
- Maybe this is a bad time and...
- Come in.
- What?
- Come in, now that you are here.
I can't.
I've got to go.
Tea?
- How much sugar?
- Four teaspoons.
You are one of those who takes their
sugar with tea.
