Yes. well. it's mostly him

But I'm not sure

whether it is a good idea.

I'm not sure of getting there.

I know what to do

with this kid.

Or if I can handle it.

And ...

In fact. I am working

all day. and ...

I do not have time.

You see ...

I do not know.

I feel he wants to do nothing.

That nothing interests.

What do you mean.

I think you would be more useful

to care for a child

All you are doing

is certainly very good. but ...

if it is to end up with a statement

like the one just made by the UN ...

Wait! I work for

the Commission of Human Rights!

And I can tell you that we will

I'm sure!

But everyone cares!

A Commission on Human Rights

which defends human rights.

This is not a scoop!

Everyone cares

your relationship. it's just ...

paperwork!

I understand why

you speak to me like that!

I also do what I can!

What is it? A competition?

This is not because

I do not take care of children

If you say so.

I turned

and saw a man

running down the street.

The face covered in blood.

torn shirt. the distraught look.

He tore his gray hair.

and repeated:

"Oh Allah. Allah. pity. pity ..."

Suddenly. I understood

it was Mussa. uncle.

I barely recognized.

It was a mild and pleasant man.

His wife died a year later

her marriage 15 years ago.

And he never remarried.

He stood alone.

Maliqa his daughter. whom he adored.

He was running slowly.

like a puppet. and murmured:

"Maliqa. Maliqa. my little girl.

my God. pity ... "

His house was in ruins.

My two brothers pursued him.

Me too.

By repeating the name of his daughter.

my uncle is thrown

on the ruins.

My mother hugged

and tried to calm him.

My brothers and other men

started searching

in the ruins.

Women were

remote space.

Body Maliqa

was found half an hour later.

She was crushed by a wall.

She was dead.

We took her to the mosque.

with other corpses.

In the court.

we heard the first

helicopter returning.

We all fled.

We left.

We left without taking anything.

Nothing at all.

My uncle wanted to stay

to bury her daughter.

When the Russians arrived.

they caught him. and tortured.

But nothing could make it worse

that having lost her daughter.

They gouged out his eyes.

He went mad now.

Because the last thing he saw.

it is the Russian soldiers who were laughing.

My mother says that's the reason

why he went crazy.

This is the last image

he took it away

before plunging into the dark.
