"...I bore you upon |
| 00:00:38 |
"and brought you unto Myself..." |
| 00:00:42 |
Torah - Exodus - chapter XIX - 4 |
| 00:00:46 |
They had been forgotten |
| 00:00:51 |
near Gondar. |
| 00:00:54 |
Yet, since the dawn of time, |
| 00:00:56 |
the Ethiopian Jews, |
| 00:00:59 |
dreamed of returning |
| 00:01:03 |
Jerusalem. |
| 00:01:13 |
1984. |
| 00:01:16 |
With Israeli and U.S. Aid, |
| 00:01:18 |
a vast program was undertaken |
| 00:01:22 |
to transport the Ethiopian Jews |
| 00:01:25 |
The Falashas were returned |
| 00:01:27 |
and finally recognized |
| 00:01:31 |
and the Queen of Sheba. |
| 00:01:36 |
The Israeli secret service |
| 00:01:38 |
carried out the operation |
| 00:01:41 |
keeping it from the Mengitsu |
| 00:01:43 |
pro-Soviet regime who had |
| 00:01:47 |
The Falashas walked from Ethiopia |
| 00:01:52 |
a Muslim country under Charia law. |
| 00:01:55 |
There, they had to hide their |
| 00:02:00 |
In Sudan, planes awaited |
| 00:02:04 |
On the road, |
| 00:02:07 |
famine, exhaustion. |
| 00:02:12 |
In the 1980s, |
| 00:02:15 |
the Sudanese camps welcomed |
| 00:02:18 |
thousands of Africans from 26 |
| 00:02:22 |
Christians, Muslims, |
| 00:02:25 |
and clandestine Jews. |
| 00:02:28 |
The first secret airlift operation, |
| 00:02:33 |
saved 8,000 Ethiopian Jews. |
| 00:02:36 |
4,000 |
| 00:02:38 |
died on the road |
| 00:02:41 |
murdered, tortured |
| 00:02:44 |
or suffering from famine, |
| 00:02:48 |
Many children reached the Holy |

Live and Become |
| 00:05:19 |
Mommy, eat! |
| 00:05:23 |
No, I'm not hungry. |
| 00:06:35 |
Wake up. |
| 00:07:05 |
Go! |
| 00:07:11 |
Go! |
| 00:07:33 |
Don't cry. |
| 00:07:38 |
Go! |
| 00:07:43 |
Go, live and become! |
| 00:07:47 |
And don't come back. |
| 00:07:50 |
Don't come back until then! |
| 00:07:56 |
Go! |
| 00:09:10 |
Hana, is this your son? |
| 00:09:15 |
This is my son! |
| 00:09:16 |
I saved him this morning. |
| 00:09:20 |
Okay. |
| 00:09:27 |
A man doesn't cry. |
| 00:10:01 |
When we get to the Holy Land, |
| 00:10:05 |
won't we, Mommy? |
| 00:10:07 |
It's a land flowing |
| 00:10:11 |
Paradise on Earth, my sweet. |
| 00:11:34 |
Mommy. |
| 00:12:29 |
Excuse me, my son, |
| 00:12:31 |
are there many albinos in Israel? |
| 00:12:34 |
- You mean "whites"? |
| 00:12:37 |
In Israel, all Jews are white. |
| 00:12:43 |
Aren't we in our country yet, my son? |
| 00:12:45 |
Haven't we reached Jerusalem? |
| 00:12:48 |
We have, father, |
| 00:12:50 |
we are in our country. |
| 00:12:55 |
Israel is the country |
| 00:13:18 |
No! No! |
| 00:13:20 |
What's wrong? |
| 00:13:21 |
What's wrong? |
| 00:13:24 |
Calm down! Calm down! |
| 00:13:29 |
Israel has plenty of water! |
| 00:13:34 |
There's enough water! |
| 00:13:36 |
Listen to me! It's okay! |
| 00:13:41 |
It's not my fault! |
| 00:13:43 |
It's not my fault! |
| 00:13:45 |
It's not my fault! |
| 00:13:50 |
Like this. |
| 00:13:52 |
Like this. |
| 00:13:54 |
You see? |
| 00:13:58 |
You see? You do it. |
| 00:14:05 |
Let me. |
| 00:14:08 |
Like this. |
| 00:14:51 |
Enjoy your meal. |
| 00:15:02 |
Fork. |
| 00:15:04 |
Like this. |
| 00:15:21 |
Silence! |
| 00:15:23 |
Silence, please! |
| 00:15:26 |
For the first time our black brothers |
| 00:15:35 |
not to be sold |
| 00:15:38 |
or made slaves, |
| 00:15:42 |
but to be saved, |
| 00:15:44 |
liberated! |
| 00:15:48 |
Welcome! |
| 00:16:02 |
On behalf of my entire community, |
| 00:16:09 |
for having helped us |
| 00:16:14 |
and for having saved us. |
| 00:16:20 |
What's his name? |
| 00:16:21 |
- Adisalem. |
| 00:16:25 |
Yes it is. |
| 00:16:26 |
Adis means "new", |
| 00:16:30 |
Adisalem means "new world". |
| 00:16:40 |
We'll call him Eddy. |
| 00:16:44 |
Write it: Eddy. |
| 00:16:57 |
Are you sure you're Jewish? |
| 00:16:58 |
I'll ask you one last time. |
| 00:17:01 |
I personally don't believe it. |
| 00:17:04 |
Nobody knows you here. |
| 00:17:06 |
What village are you from? |
| 00:17:08 |
Have you forgotten? |
| 00:17:09 |
What is your grandfather's name? |
| 00:17:13 |
Can't you remember? |
| 00:17:17 |
Follow me. |
| 00:17:19 |
Come on. |
| 00:17:25 |
Help me. |
| 00:17:28 |
We must be careful. |
| 00:17:34 |
Don't forget, |
| 00:17:36 |
your name is Solomon. |
| 00:17:38 |
Your father was called Isaac, |
| 00:17:40 |
your grandfather, Yakov, |
| 00:17:44 |
and your sister, Aster. |
| 00:17:46 |
They all died on the road to Sudan. |
| 00:17:49 |
The name of our village is Weleka. |
| 00:17:52 |
Repeat. |
| 00:17:54 |
My name is Solomon, |
| 00:17:57 |
No, just Solomon, not the cow! |
| 00:18:01 |
Are you circumcised? |
| 00:18:05 |
I believe you. |
| 00:18:09 |
Is this your son? |
| 00:18:13 |
What's his name? |
| 00:18:15 |
Solomon! |
| 00:18:16 |
Solomon... Schlomo. |
| 00:18:19 |
"Schlomo", do you understand? |
| 00:18:25 |
Your father and your grandfather? |
| 00:18:29 |
We're from Weleka. |
| 00:18:32 |
Everyone knows us here. |
| 00:18:35 |
Qes Amhra, too. |
| 00:18:37 |
My husband's name was Isaac, |
| 00:18:40 |
my daughter, Aster, |
| 00:18:44 |
my youngest son, Yakov. |
| 00:18:46 |
They're all dead. |
| 00:18:51 |
Solomon is all I have left. |
| 00:18:55 |
Schlomo. |
| 00:18:57 |
Would you like to go to school, |
| 00:19:01 |
Of course! |
| 00:19:02 |
With her! |
| 00:19:05 |
You'll stay together. Don't worry. |
| 00:19:41 |
Through there. They come in and out. |
| 00:19:47 |
There are a lot of them. |
| 00:20:10 |
She's getting better. |
| 00:20:13 |
She's in good hands now. |
| 00:20:15 |
You can see her later. |
| 00:20:19 |
Take off your coat. |
| 00:20:30 |
Do you want to watch TV? |
| 00:20:55 |
Nobody came out of the TV. |
| 00:20:58 |
They haven't gone to bed yet. |
| 00:21:02 |
Keep your secret. |
| 00:21:07 |
Don't say a word to anybody... |
| 00:21:10 |
Never. |
| 00:21:13 |
Otherwise, they'll send you |
| 00:21:18 |
You are my son, |
| 00:21:20 |
a Jew from Weleka. |
| 00:21:23 |
Learn our traditions. |
| 00:21:26 |
That way you'll be safe. |
| 00:21:29 |
Don't forget the names of your |
| 00:21:37 |
Isaac, |
| 00:21:39 |
Hana, |
| 00:21:41 |
Yakov, |
| 00:21:43 |
Sura. |
| 00:21:47 |
And don't forget your mother |
| 00:21:50 |
who is still over there. |
| 00:21:53 |
Never! |
| 00:21:58 |
One day, you'll see her again. |
| 00:22:14 |
Because you'll live! |
| 00:22:19 |
Don't die. |
| 00:22:26 |
Don't cry. |
| 00:23:00 |
Hello, children. |
| 00:23:03 |
I'm the director of the school... |
| 00:23:32 |
Hello, my name's Z wi. |
| 00:24:49 |
Schlomo, |
| 00:25:24 |
Cow. |
| 00:25:26 |
Girl. |
| 00:25:29 |
Boy. |
| 00:25:31 |
Bird. |
| 00:25:34 |
Hat. |
| 00:25:37 |
Fish. |
| 00:25:40 |
Watch. |
| 00:25:42 |
Banana. |
| 00:25:45 |
Sit down. |
| 00:25:48 |
Hello, everybody. |
| 00:25:50 |
Do any children |
| 00:25:55 |
in Ethiopia or Sudan? |
| 00:26:18 |
You're gonna eat this! |
| 00:26:21 |
Eat, I say! |
| 00:26:24 |
Stop! Have you lost your minds? |
| 00:26:28 |
Let him go! |
| 00:26:33 |
It'll be OK. |
| 00:26:46 |
No! |
| 00:26:47 |
It's not my fault! |
| 00:26:59 |
Mommy, |
| 00:27:01 |
I have to become like them. |
| 00:27:03 |
I don't want to change. |
| 00:27:05 |
How will you recognize me? |
| 00:27:08 |
Please, let me come home... |
| 00:27:18 |
Well? |
| 00:27:19 |
Can't find him. |
| 00:27:21 |
I've had it. |
| 00:27:23 |
Not in the park or the rooms. |
| 00:27:25 |
We've woken everyone. |
| 00:27:28 |
Come on. |
| 00:27:41 |
Schlomo, stop! |
| 00:27:50 |
Leave him alone. |
| 00:28:07 |
12 kilometers on foot! |
| 00:28:11 |
- He's only 9 years old. |
| 00:28:12 |
He learns Hebrew quickly |
| 00:28:17 |
I see his violence, |
| 00:28:20 |
I want a solution now. |
| 00:28:22 |
He needs a stricter school |
| 00:28:26 |
Maybe Echel Avraham. |
| 00:28:28 |
Is there any surviving |
| 00:28:30 |
Nobody from his old village |
| 00:28:35 |
Do you have any ideas? Tell me! |
| 00:28:37 |
Schlomo ran away, barefoot, |
| 00:28:39 |
wrapped in a sheet. |
| 00:28:40 |
Which way did he go? Which way? |
| 00:28:42 |
Towards the south, Ethiopia. |
| 00:28:45 |
Why? |
| 00:28:47 |
Maybe he's trying |
| 00:28:50 |
with his mother and family. |
| 00:28:53 |
Time and another school |
| 00:28:55 |
Schlomo's mother and family back. |
| 00:29:00 |
It's impossible. |
| 00:29:01 |
I understand. |
| 00:29:02 |
That's fine. Thanks. |
| 00:29:13 |
Come in, please. |
| 00:29:21 |
Schlomo, your adoptive parents, |
| 00:29:25 |
Yael and Yoram Harrari. |
| 00:29:39 |
112 horsepower, automatic, |
| 00:29:41 |
it can go up to 200 km/h. |
| 00:29:45 |
Volvo, the best car in the world. |
| 00:29:48 |
Do you like cars, Schlomo? |
| 00:29:52 |
You can call us "daddy" |
| 00:30:04 |
This is your brother and sister: |
| 00:30:06 |
Tali and Dany. |
| 00:30:25 |
Look, the stadium! |
| 00:30:28 |
You can come and run here |
| 00:30:36 |
You like to run, don't you? |
| 00:31:06 |
Gramps, they're here. |
| 00:31:09 |
They're here. Daddy, daddy! |
| 00:31:19 |
Hello, my cherubs. |
| 00:31:21 |
Not a word about his |
| 00:31:25 |
This is Schlomo. |
| 00:31:27 |
This is Tali, |
| 00:31:29 |
Dany... and Gramps. |
| 00:31:31 |
Yoram's father. |
| 00:31:34 |
You're a polite boy. |
| 00:31:36 |
We never looked somebody in the eye |
| 00:31:40 |
He grew up in Egypt. |
| 00:31:42 |
- Near Ethiopia. |
| 00:31:44 |
What, I didn't say anything |
| 00:31:48 |
Your room. |
| 00:31:49 |
It was mine before. |
| 00:31:57 |
You can put whatever you want |
| 00:32:04 |
I forgot the presents! |
| 00:32:06 |
Right... the presents. |
| 00:32:13 |
This is from us, Yoram and myself. |
| 00:32:16 |
My present. |
| 00:32:22 |
If you want to write a diary, |
| 00:32:26 |
This is good luck where I come from. |
| 00:32:30 |
A kippa, from us. |
| 00:32:39 |
- Hello! |
| 00:32:41 |
- Is he here? |
| 00:32:42 |
Did he get here by bus? |
| 00:32:45 |
No, we picked him up. |
| 00:32:46 |
Where is he? |
| 00:32:48 |
That's French. |
| 00:32:50 |
Our native language... |
| 00:32:52 |
Is this him? |
| 00:32:56 |
You take plane... no afraid? |
| 00:32:59 |
Mother, he speaks Hebrew. |
| 00:33:01 |
Hebrew in Ethiopia? |
| 00:33:03 |
Is he sick? |
| 00:33:06 |
- He's fine, mother! |
| 00:33:09 |
Go see Dr. Cohen. He's wonderful. |
| 00:33:11 |
He doesn't need to. |
| 00:33:19 |
"Injara", |
| 00:33:33 |
Listen, Schlomo... |
| 00:33:35 |
I'd like to tell you that we know. |
| 00:33:37 |
Everything. |
| 00:33:39 |
We prefer to be clear... |
| 00:33:42 |
I wanted to tell... |
| 00:33:44 |
No, it's us... |
| 00:33:46 |
We're your parents now. |
| 00:33:49 |
Schlomo, we're left-wing people. |
| 00:33:53 |
- I wanted to tell... |
| 00:33:56 |
honest, and respect others. |
| 00:34:01 |
So I'll be frank, Schlomo. |
| 00:34:03 |
We... |
| 00:34:05 |
we're not religious. |
| 00:34:09 |
We know that in Ethiopia, you were. |
| 00:34:12 |
You have always defended the Torah |
| 00:34:15 |
and survived because of your dreams |
| 00:34:21 |
We respect that, |
| 00:34:23 |
If you'd like, tonight, |
| 00:34:26 |
we'll pray with you. |
| 00:34:29 |
We'll repeat after you. |
| 00:34:50 |
Thank you. |
| 00:34:54 |
but not tonight... Please. |
| 00:35:03 |
Let's sit down. |
| 00:35:19 |
Don't you like it? |
| 00:35:24 |
Stomach ache. |
| 00:35:26 |
When I say that, it doesn't work! |
| 00:35:28 |
They make me finish my plate. |
| 00:35:30 |
Who do you like better, |
| 00:35:32 |
They don't have Mickey |
| 00:35:36 |
What sport do you like, soccer? |
| 00:35:40 |
Walking. |
| 00:35:51 |
Good night. |
| 00:35:54 |
If you need anything, |
| 00:36:00 |
Mommy, come here! Mommy! |
| 00:36:02 |
Shut up! |
| 00:36:37 |
He's really big and muscly! |
| 00:36:40 |
He's handsome as a prince! |
| 00:36:43 |
Everyone. |
| 00:36:45 |
We have a new student: |
| 00:36:47 |
Schlomo Harrari. |
| 00:36:50 |
Take a seat, please. |
| 00:36:58 |
Let's carry on with the lesson, |
| 00:37:19 |
Did you have a good day, darling? |
| 00:37:41 |
Hello, Mrs. Zilbermann. |
| 00:37:44 |
How are you? |
| 00:37:45 |
So, so... |
| 00:37:48 |
I've brought you |
| 00:37:51 |
What? |
| 00:37:52 |
Fish and oranges! |
| 00:37:54 |
And the brownie? |
| 00:37:56 |
I forgot! |
| 00:37:58 |
Next week. |
| 00:38:01 |
I'll take down the garbage. |
| 00:38:02 |
Thanks a lot. |
| 00:38:05 |
Bye-bye! |
| 00:38:06 |
Take care of yourself! |
| 00:38:29 |
Where did we receive the Torah? |
| 00:38:38 |
- On Mount Sinai. |
| 00:38:41 |
And who brought us the Torah? |
| 00:38:49 |
Moses. |
| 00:38:51 |
Very good. |
| 00:39:05 |
Who is the founder of our religion? |
| 00:39:12 |
Jesus! |
| 00:39:22 |
Because... Jesus... |
| 00:39:25 |
converted... he... first Jew... |
| 00:39:27 |
who became a Christian... |
| 00:39:30 |
He suffered... |
| 00:39:32 |
And that's why he walked on water, |
| 00:39:34 |
turned the other cheek... got a slap. |
| 00:39:39 |
And Jesus thought... |
| 00:39:43 |
but... so nice |
| 00:39:48 |
And his mother... is his mother, |
| 00:39:52 |
but Jesus mustn't say a word... |
| 00:40:06 |
"Genesis". |
| 00:40:10 |
"In the beginning |
| 00:40:26 |
One morning I'll wake up, |
| 00:40:30 |
And I'll speak Yiddish |
| 00:40:34 |
Like Mrs. Zilbermann, |
| 00:40:36 |
from the first floor, |
| 00:40:38 |
who's losing her hair |
| 00:40:42 |
Her feet have swollen up |
| 00:40:47 |
I buy her milk and bread. |
| 00:40:50 |
And brownies. She loves them. |
| 00:40:55 |
She's constantly saying: |
| 00:40:59 |
That's what it is to be Jewish! |
| 00:41:02 |
Mother's Day |
| 00:41:34 |
Is Yael OK? |
| 00:41:35 |
Yes, don't worry. |
| 00:41:37 |
You're not happy it's me? |
| 00:41:41 |
Sorry, you're not happy? |
| 00:41:43 |
I understand French. |
| 00:41:45 |
Okay... okay. |
| 00:41:47 |
Was school OK? |
| 00:41:51 |
I have a surprise for you. |
| 00:41:54 |
Do you understand "surprise"? |
| 00:41:56 |
There are good and bad ones... |
| 00:41:58 |
and big and little surprises. |
| 00:42:01 |
I have a good one! |
| 00:42:10 |
Yoram, it's broke! |
| 00:42:13 |
- What did you touch? |
| 00:42:15 |
It's not a toy, damn it! |
| 00:42:17 |
You say play. |
| 00:42:18 |
I didn't say to fiddle with it. |
| 00:42:22 |
I don't know what he did. |
| 00:42:28 |
Does it work? |
| 00:42:30 |
Of course it works! |
| 00:42:32 |
Your father's got a bug |
| 00:42:34 |
There are too many pieces |
| 00:42:37 |
Murad Khelfi, |
| 00:42:39 |
A pillar of our company. |
| 00:42:42 |
Schlomo, I suppose. |
| 00:42:44 |
He can't stop talking about you. |
| 00:42:47 |
Listen, if they ever seriously |
| 00:42:50 |
you can come and stay at my place. |
| 00:42:53 |
OK? |
| 00:42:58 |
When the Queen of Sheba, |
| 00:43:02 |
crossed Egypt for Ethiopia |
| 00:43:04 |
after her meeting with King Solomon, |
| 00:43:07 |
I could've shut the door |
| 00:43:11 |
She was beautiful, you know. |
| 00:43:14 |
I could've taken advantage. |
| 00:43:19 |
Do you know why? |
| 00:43:21 |
I wanted to meet you. |
| 00:43:27 |
- What do you say to Grandpa? |
| 00:43:33 |
You tell me how I became a Jew. |
| 00:43:37 |
But I'm not telling you how |
| 00:43:41 |
Dump? |
| 00:43:43 |
Where did you get that? |
| 00:43:44 |
Alexandria, a dump? |
| 00:43:46 |
Heathen, ignoramus! |
| 00:43:48 |
Black savage! Baboon! |
| 00:43:51 |
The largest library in the world |
| 00:44:02 |
For you. |
| 00:44:06 |
I can't read Amharic. |
| 00:44:10 |
You'll learn. |
| 00:44:16 |
Can I talk to you please? |
| 00:44:19 |
Schlomo, could you leave us alone? |
| 00:44:22 |
Thanks. |
| 00:44:24 |
This is a bit embarrassing, but... |
| 00:44:28 |
Parents want to withdraw |
| 00:44:30 |
if Schlomo isn't transferred. |
| 00:44:33 |
They're afraid the level |
| 00:44:35 |
I know it's wrong, |
| 00:44:42 |
And they're afraid |
| 00:44:47 |
I know that... |
| 00:44:54 |
Listen, you morons! |
| 00:44:57 |
I've had enough! |
| 00:44:58 |
My son is the most beautiful child |
| 00:45:02 |
He's as good, |
| 00:45:08 |
He's healthy as can be. |
| 00:45:13 |
His pimples? It's stress! |
| 00:45:17 |
You're not the first or the only ones |
| 00:45:22 |
He's healthy! He's healthy! |
| 00:45:34 |
Schlomo won't budge from this school. |
| 00:45:37 |
You fucking idiots! |
| 00:45:48 |
- Tigress, can you lick my pimples? |
| 00:45:53 |
Stop thinking about it. |
| 00:45:56 |
Let him handle it on his own. |
| 00:46:00 |
He knows we love him. |
| 00:46:02 |
Let him go to school on his own. |
| 00:46:05 |
- He's only 9. |
| 00:46:08 |
Let him be, |
| 00:46:12 |
Let them respect him, not you! |
| 00:47:29 |
Dany, put out the glasses. |
| 00:47:30 |
I haven't finished. |
| 00:47:35 |
Are you OK, darling? |
| 00:47:37 |
Can you handle this? |
| 00:47:40 |
What is it? |
| 00:47:42 |
Hello, my love. |
| 00:47:52 |
Tomorrow you have a medical exam |
| 00:47:57 |
We leave for Jerusalem at 7:30. |
| 00:48:00 |
We're getting up early. |
| 00:48:37 |
Ready to go? |
| 00:48:38 |
Eat something. We have to go. |
| 00:48:41 |
In 15 minutes, understood? |
| 00:48:42 |
Dany, get up! |
| 00:49:04 |
Are you cold? |
| 00:49:07 |
Tali, did you wake up Dany? |
| 00:49:09 |
- He won't get up. |
| 00:49:17 |
You threw out your bread? |
| 00:49:18 |
You're impossible, Schlomo. |
| 00:49:23 |
An effort, damn it! |
| 00:49:32 |
Don't be afraid, |
| 00:49:35 |
Just an "ahh", |
| 00:49:38 |
You're a man, right? |
| 00:49:40 |
A man, right? A man! |
| 00:49:52 |
Ritual bath |
| 00:50:36 |
Are you hot? |
| 00:50:40 |
Are you OK? |
| 00:50:43 |
Why did you take your bag? |
| 00:50:50 |
Come in. |
| 00:50:59 |
Tell me... |
| 00:51:01 |
Tell me about your name, your father, |
| 00:51:05 |
grandparents, |
| 00:51:08 |
your religious education... |
| 00:51:12 |
My name is Schlomo, |
| 00:51:14 |
my father's name was Isaac, |
| 00:51:18 |
my grandfather Yakov, my brother too, |
| 00:51:22 |
my sister, Aster. |
| 00:51:24 |
My mother died in Ashkelon, |
| 00:51:29 |
You already have that information! |
| 00:51:31 |
Isn't this a medical visit? |
| 00:51:35 |
This way. |
| 00:51:38 |
Alone! |
| 00:51:44 |
Lie down. |
| 00:51:47 |
Take off your coat. |
| 00:51:50 |
Pull down his pants. |
| 00:52:00 |
Forgive me. |
| 00:52:03 |
Run! They want to convert us! |
| 00:52:07 |
Shame on you! |
| 00:52:10 |
Bastards! |
| 00:52:12 |
Don't touch my son! |
| 00:52:13 |
Come on! |
| 00:52:20 |
Climb! Jump! |
| 00:52:23 |
Run! Run! |
| 00:52:30 |
You are my son. My son! |
| 00:52:33 |
You're Jewish. |
| 00:52:36 |
You're my son! |
| 00:52:39 |
No to conversion! |
| 00:52:43 |
We're Jews like you! |
| 00:52:48 |
Humiliated by the Chief Rabbinate |
| 00:52:51 |
by taking a drop of blood |
| 00:52:54 |
and dipping them in a ritual bath, |
| 00:52:56 |
the Falashas ask |
| 00:53:00 |
true descendants of Moses. |
| 00:53:02 |
This is not about purifying blood, |
| 00:53:05 |
it's about purifying doubt. |
| 00:53:07 |
It's for their welfare. |
| 00:53:08 |
They are children |
| 00:53:12 |
The Queen of Sheba wasn't Jewish. |
| 00:53:15 |
Judaism is passed on |
| 00:53:18 |
Chief Rabbi Youssef |
| 00:53:22 |
Qes Amhra |
| 00:53:26 |
The letter allowed Israel |
| 00:53:34 |
In Ethiopia, they said |
| 00:53:36 |
we weren't real Jews, |
| 00:53:38 |
not genuinely Jewish. |
| 00:53:41 |
If we are not Jews, |
| 00:53:43 |
then what is the point |
| 00:53:47 |
Why have we paid such a heavy |
| 00:53:52 |
In Ethiopia, they accused us |
| 00:53:54 |
of being Jews. |
| 00:53:56 |
Here we're criticized |
| 00:54:00 |
In Ethiopia |
| 00:54:01 |
we were called "buda", witches, |
| 00:54:04 |
and here we're treated |
| 00:54:07 |
niggers! |
| 00:54:10 |
I want to remind the government |
| 00:54:13 |
were left behind |
| 00:54:17 |
Children are living alone |
| 00:54:20 |
while their parents |
| 00:54:23 |
8 Ethiopians on a hunger strike |
| 00:54:26 |
were hospitalized and treated |
| 00:54:30 |
Today, people from kibbutzim |
| 00:54:33 |
joined the demonstrators |
| 00:54:52 |
"Qes Amhra - Rehovot" |
| 00:54:54 |
Our color is indelible! |
| 00:54:59 |
We've all been circumcised! |
| 00:55:09 |
Do you know where Qes Amhra is? |
| 00:55:14 |
Do you know where Qes Amhra is? |
| 00:55:43 |
Here's a piece of paper. |
| 00:55:45 |
Write a wish on it. |
| 00:55:47 |
Here's a pen. |
| 00:55:51 |
Write your wish |
| 00:55:55 |
Don't say a word to a soul |
| 00:56:27 |
Why all these wishes? |
| 00:56:32 |
I read what Schlomo wrote: |
| 00:56:37 |
Go to your room! |
| 00:56:39 |
- I didn't do anything! Kushee! |
| 00:57:09 |
Can I tell you a story? |
| 00:57:14 |
Once upon a time |
| 00:57:17 |
Happy. |
| 00:57:18 |
He jumped from tree to tree. |
| 00:57:21 |
He had all his family and friends. |
| 00:57:24 |
He knew the forest by heart. |
| 00:57:27 |
One day, by accident, |
| 00:57:31 |
he fell into a thorn bush. |
| 00:57:34 |
His entire body |
| 00:57:37 |
They hurt him a lot. |
| 00:57:40 |
He started to take them out, |
| 00:57:42 |
but he soon realized |
| 00:57:47 |
There were too many, |
| 00:57:49 |
even under his nails. |
| 00:57:53 |
Those hurt him the most. |
| 00:57:59 |
Should he tear out his nails |
| 00:58:38 |
Hello, could you possibly give me |
| 00:58:42 |
the address of Qes Amhra |
| 00:59:11 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:59:14 |
The healer Melassa? Herzel Street? |
| 00:59:17 |
Herzel Street: Straight ahead. |
| 00:59:38 |
Reassure me, |
| 00:59:49 |
Yes. |
| 01:00:14 |
Come in. |
| 01:00:19 |
Come in. |
| 01:00:38 |
I saw you on TV. |
| 01:00:41 |
You're the only one |
| 01:00:43 |
to have spoken |
| 01:00:47 |
I'd like to write to my mother, |
| 01:00:50 |
Can you help me? |
| 01:00:52 |
You said your piece well. |
| 01:00:57 |
- And your father? |
| 01:00:59 |
And your mother? |
| 01:01:04 |
That's not a Jewish name. |
| 01:01:09 |
She had to convert. |
| 01:01:12 |
And not your father? |
| 01:01:15 |
I don't remember. |
| 01:01:17 |
Only my mother's left. |
| 01:01:19 |
Could you help me |
| 01:01:22 |
I have to tell her |
| 01:01:27 |
Sit down. |
| 01:01:42 |
It'll cost you... |
| 01:01:43 |
How much? |
| 01:01:46 |
10 shekels a letter. |
| 01:01:48 |
I'll bring you the money. |
| 01:01:50 |
You're not going to negotiate? |
| 01:01:53 |
Can I? |
| 01:01:55 |
Not anymore, too late now. |
| 01:02:02 |
"Mommy..." |
| 01:02:07 |
"Dear Mommy, sunshine of my life...", |
| 01:02:10 |
ingrate! |
| 01:02:14 |
Yes, that's better. |
| 01:02:16 |
"Dear Mommy sunshine of my life |
| 01:02:19 |
"Israel's a beautiful country |
| 01:02:22 |
"a nice family has adopted me |
| 01:02:25 |
"I go to school and learn a lot..." |
| 01:02:31 |
No periods or commas? |
| 01:02:35 |
I don't know, you're the writer. |
| 01:02:40 |
Very well. |
| 01:02:42 |
What's next? |
| 01:02:49 |
What's the address? |
| 01:02:57 |
Camp Um Raquba, |
| 01:03:04 |
And the return address? |
| 01:03:08 |
Where do you live? |
| 01:03:09 |
Here? |
| 01:03:12 |
Can she reply to me here? |
| 01:03:18 |
Very well. |
| 01:03:38 |
I meant to call. |
| 01:03:39 |
You meant to call? |
| 01:03:45 |
Ask me a question to which |
| 01:03:53 |
Do I speak good French? |
| 01:04:17 |
Did you have a good day? |
| 01:04:22 |
Answer me, Yael. |
| 01:04:24 |
Do you have a problem? |
| 01:04:27 |
Are you kidding around? |
| 01:04:31 |
What's with you? |
| 01:05:38 |
A few years later - 1989 |
| 01:07:03 |
You've got to write another letter. |
| 01:07:06 |
We talked yesterday. |
| 01:07:09 |
Not now, tomorrow. |
| 01:07:11 |
How about later? |
| 01:07:12 |
Tomorrow! |
| 01:08:28 |
Tell her "I love you |
| 01:08:31 |
- "that all my life..." |
| 01:08:34 |
If it's a dictation, you write it. |
| 01:08:36 |
It's her birthday. |
| 01:08:38 |
She invited us over, you too. |
| 01:08:42 |
I'll read it: |
| 01:08:45 |
"Dear Sarah, |
| 01:08:48 |
Hold it, I never left. |
| 01:08:49 |
Shut up, this works! |
| 01:08:52 |
"Dear Sarah, ever since I left, |
| 01:08:54 |
"I miss you. |
| 01:08:58 |
"I'd love you to be so proud of me. |
| 01:09:00 |
"I'd like to wake up one morning |
| 01:09:03 |
"and find you sitting next to me |
| 01:09:05 |
"as if you had always been there, |
| 01:09:07 |
"and our separation |
| 01:09:10 |
"Every evening, |
| 01:09:13 |
"God thinks I'm speaking to Him, |
| 01:09:15 |
"but I'm speaking to you. |
| 01:09:23 |
"One day we'll be together |
| 01:09:25 |
"forever. |
| 01:09:26 |
"I miss you. I love you, |
| 01:09:29 |
"Itai." |
| 01:09:32 |
Shit, you can write! |
| 01:09:35 |
Where do you get all that? |
| 01:09:38 |
Wait, what's wrong? |
| 01:09:40 |
Are you crying? You love her, too? |
| 01:09:43 |
- Fifteen shekels. |
| 01:09:45 |
She loves you because of me. |
| 01:09:47 |
Five shekels success bonus. |
| 01:09:53 |
I hope you're not stealing |
| 01:09:55 |
I work hard, Qes. |
| 01:09:57 |
I wash the stairs of our building. |
| 01:10:02 |
You seem sad. |
| 01:10:05 |
It's a twinge of melancholy, |
| 01:10:09 |
What day is it? |
| 01:10:10 |
Friday. |
| 01:10:12 |
Friday, the day of Sabbath. |
| 01:10:15 |
And it doesn't smell like Sabbath... |
| 01:10:17 |
It doesn't smell like Sabbath? |
| 01:10:19 |
Don't you remember? |
| 01:10:23 |
You were probably too young. |
| 01:10:26 |
Friday morning, |
| 01:10:30 |
the scent of Sabbath bread |
| 01:10:37 |
The best bread of the week. |
| 01:10:42 |
It's terrible: |
| 01:10:43 |
In the land of the Torah, |
| 01:10:46 |
It's been lost. |
| 01:10:56 |
Alright, I'm listening. |
| 01:11:01 |
"Mommy... |
| 01:11:05 |
"Mommy, tell me why... |
| 01:11:09 |
"I'm doing well... |
| 01:11:12 |
"I'd like to... |
| 01:11:16 |
"I'm not allowed to come home..." |
| 01:11:22 |
Here. |
| 01:11:23 |
From now on, you write. |
| 01:11:26 |
You need to. |
| 01:11:28 |
Besides, my eyes are weary. |
| 01:11:30 |
Go on, learn. |
| 01:11:35 |
"Mommy, sunshine of my life...", |
| 01:11:39 |
and then you write whatever you want. |
| 01:11:45 |
You said: "Become..." |
| 01:12:03 |
"And don't come back until then." |
| 01:12:12 |
Why don't you call Mom "Mommy"? |
| 01:12:15 |
It's always Yael. |
| 01:12:19 |
Yeah, you won again! |
| 01:12:20 |
Did you see the score? Champ! |
| 01:12:23 |
Another round? |
| 01:12:25 |
What should I wear? |
| 01:12:26 |
Jeans, a T-shirt! Something cool! |
| 01:12:28 |
It's a birthday, not a wedding. |
| 01:12:35 |
I'll make him director |
| 01:12:39 |
With a new title: |
| 01:12:41 |
What do you think? |
| 00:00:03 |
No, I'm not a boy. |
| 00:00:07 |
You are, but you're rotten |
| 00:00:10 |
And you challenge him. |
| 00:00:18 |
How does this look? |
| 00:00:19 |
Cool. |
| 00:00:37 |
If you ring a third time, |
| 00:00:42 |
- Understand? |
| 00:00:43 |
Go home! |
| 00:00:52 |
- How was it? |
| 00:01:23 |
Me? |
| 00:01:33 |
I'm just running down to see Itai. |
| 00:01:35 |
Don't be long. |
| 00:01:40 |
- I'm Sarah. |
| 00:01:44 |
Itai. |
| 00:01:45 |
- What do you want? |
| 00:01:47 |
It's fine! |
| 00:01:48 |
Daddy thinks you're not Jewish, |
| 00:01:50 |
that you're Christian, |
| 00:01:54 |
that you were starving in Ethiopia |
| 00:01:58 |
and lied to Israel. |
| 00:02:00 |
Great! |
| 00:02:05 |
Listen to this. |
| 00:02:28 |
Don't you ask a girl to dance? |
| 00:03:13 |
Now, you haven't missed |
| 00:03:16 |
Where's my present? |
| 00:03:21 |
Close your mouth. |
| 00:03:24 |
They're wrong, you're red. |
| 00:03:55 |
Nothing works in this country! |
| 00:03:57 |
Are you OK? |
| 00:03:58 |
Can't you arrive slowly, |
| 00:04:01 |
- Do you still lead the controversies? |
| 00:04:04 |
Is Sarah's father |
| 00:04:07 |
If you win the controversy, |
| 00:04:09 |
it means that you've read, |
| 00:04:12 |
That you're Jewish? |
| 00:04:15 |
Can I participate? |
| 00:04:16 |
Everyone can. |
| 00:04:19 |
Yes, yes, yes! |
| 00:04:24 |
I'll let you know |
| 00:04:26 |
Thanks, Rabbi. |
| 00:04:28 |
Can I say something? |
| 00:04:30 |
- I'm in a hurry. |
| 00:04:36 |
No, that's not good. |
| 00:04:37 |
Interpret, Schlomo, |
| 00:04:39 |
don't repeat like a parrot. |
| 00:04:41 |
Interpret. |
| 00:04:44 |
Put some Schlomo into it. |
| 00:04:48 |
Let's start again. |
| 00:05:28 |
Silence, please. |
| 00:05:31 |
The subject today is: |
| 00:05:33 |
"What color was Adam?" |
| 00:05:35 |
In the image of God, white! |
| 00:05:38 |
Silence! |
| 00:05:42 |
We'll start with... |
| 00:05:47 |
Michael Leibovich. |
| 00:05:56 |
Adam was created in God's image. |
| 00:05:59 |
And the beautiful color chosen |
| 00:06:02 |
We were all white in the beginning. |
| 00:06:05 |
After the flood, Noah and his sons |
| 00:06:09 |
Noah cursed the descendants |
| 00:06:12 |
along with his grandson Canaan: |
| 00:06:14 |
"Cursed be Canaan, |
| 00:06:16 |
"the lowest of slaves will he be |
| 00:06:18 |
Genesis, 9, 25. |
| 00:06:20 |
Kush, Ham's eldest son, |
| 00:06:22 |
inherited another curse: |
| 00:06:24 |
Some of Ham's descendants |
| 00:06:28 |
And so it was: |
| 00:06:30 |
Kush became black and from him |
| 00:06:33 |
the black people of Africa. |
| 00:06:36 |
The descendants of Ham |
| 00:07:26 |
Are Adam and God |
| 00:07:29 |
the same color, |
| 00:07:30 |
white? |
| 00:07:39 |
Michael said... |
| 00:07:45 |
No... |
| 00:07:46 |
In the beginning was the Word. |
| 00:07:50 |
God created Earth and us, |
| 00:07:56 |
God believed in Man, |
| 00:07:58 |
in each one, |
| 00:07:59 |
entrusting him with the Word, |
| 00:08:03 |
each give a different, marvelous |
| 00:08:07 |
In interpreting it. |
| 00:08:09 |
As for Adam... his name comes |
| 00:08:13 |
God created Adam with the earth, |
| 00:08:17 |
He gave him spirit, |
| 00:08:22 |
That's how Adam was born. |
| 00:08:25 |
Adam is the color of clay: Red. |
| 00:08:31 |
Like the Sioux. |
| 00:08:35 |
So you see, |
| 00:08:40 |
he is red. |
| 00:08:42 |
But does he feel alright, |
| 00:08:45 |
alone and red in this new world? |
| 00:08:49 |
That's when God thought of Eve... |
| 00:08:51 |
But Adam didn't understand |
| 00:08:54 |
what God wanted, |
| 00:08:58 |
What was he supposed to do on Earth? |
| 00:09:02 |
Why all these trials? |
| 00:09:04 |
But he knows he can't go back, |
| 00:09:06 |
he knows he has no choice, |
| 00:09:10 |
that he's here because God wills it, |
| 00:09:13 |
and he must become, |
| 00:09:14 |
and God is disguised as the moon, |
| 00:09:18 |
and watches over and protects him. |
| 00:10:22 |
Hello, sir. |
| 00:10:24 |
I'm Schlomo. |
| 00:10:28 |
I don't want to see you |
| 00:10:30 |
This boy is the devil. |
| 00:10:35 |
How dare you compare God |
| 00:10:39 |
If I ever see you with my daughter, |
| 00:10:41 |
you'll have problems. |
| 00:10:44 |
Understand? |
| 00:10:47 |
Good-bye. |
| 00:11:17 |
Yes? |
| 00:11:18 |
- Yes, young man? |
| 00:11:20 |
I'm not Jewish. |
| 00:11:21 |
What? Guilty of what? |
| 00:11:24 |
I'm not Jewish! |
| 00:11:25 |
I've been lying from the start, |
| 00:11:27 |
Hold on. Wait a minute. |
| 00:11:29 |
Sit down! |
| 00:11:42 |
Even you're starting to believe it! |
| 00:11:44 |
You're as Jewish as we are! |
| 00:11:47 |
More than us, do you understand? |
| 00:11:49 |
More faithful to the Torah, |
| 00:11:52 |
Don't believe what they say! |
| 00:11:55 |
It's shameful the way they treat you. |
| 00:11:58 |
I don't know everything, |
| 00:12:00 |
- I... |
| 00:12:02 |
Did I get flak |
| 00:12:04 |
Did they refuse my blood |
| 00:12:07 |
How many suicides in your community? |
| 00:12:10 |
12 a month! Too many. |
| 00:12:12 |
And it's our fault! |
| 00:12:14 |
No other group of immigrants |
| 00:12:18 |
Hang in there, son, |
| 00:12:22 |
I know it's hard. |
| 00:12:24 |
Those idiots, they refuse to |
| 00:12:28 |
- But... |
| 00:12:31 |
What do you want to do later? |
| 00:12:35 |
Are you in school? |
| 00:12:37 |
Good, that's important. |
| 00:12:40 |
After high school, if you're looking |
| 00:12:43 |
I'll get you a job with the police. |
| 00:12:46 |
We need people like you, |
| 00:13:09 |
Mommy, I'm going to be late. |
| 00:13:13 |
Mommy, I love you. |
| 00:13:26 |
- What happened? |
| 00:13:29 |
I'm old enough to do what I want. |
| 00:13:31 |
What you want? Under my roof? |
| 00:13:33 |
Stop, he's upset. |
| 00:13:34 |
Stop defending him! |
| 00:13:36 |
I'll go if you want! |
| 00:13:38 |
- Don't talk to me that way! |
| 00:13:41 |
Why the police? |
| 00:13:42 |
My son's no thief! |
| 00:13:44 |
I'm not your son! |
| 00:14:00 |
It's better you go. |
| 00:14:02 |
A kibbutz is a good thing. |
| 00:14:06 |
You'll love it. |
| 00:14:08 |
Grandpa lived there. |
| 00:14:11 |
Will you call? |
| 00:14:13 |
Every other day? |
| 00:14:18 |
Come on, you'll be late. |
| 00:14:22 |
Have you forgotten anything? |
| 00:14:53 |
Joseph Aaron Harrari |
| 00:14:55 |
Founder of the kibbutz, |
| 00:15:00 |
That's my grandpa! |
| 00:15:01 |
He defended our land |
| 00:15:46 |
Can I call you Mandala? |
| 00:15:50 |
My cow's name was Mandala. |
| 00:15:52 |
She was a beautiful Ethiopian cow. |
| 00:15:59 |
I promised I'd never forget her. |
| 00:16:05 |
Schlomo, telephone! |
| 00:16:08 |
I bet you can't stop |
| 00:16:11 |
Hey? Are you there, Red Skin? |
| 00:16:15 |
Maybe I'll leave Itai for you. |
| 00:16:18 |
No, don't get your hopes up! |
| 00:16:21 |
Have you met anyone? |
| 00:16:22 |
- Anyone? |
| 00:16:24 |
like a girl, Red Skin! |
| 00:16:27 |
Long hair, narrow waist, big boobs, |
| 00:16:29 |
batting eyelashes |
| 00:16:31 |
and saying silly things |
| 00:16:35 |
A bitch, you know! |
| 00:16:37 |
Oh yeah, yes! |
| 00:16:40 |
Really? What's her name? |
| 00:16:43 |
- Mandala. |
| 00:16:45 |
It's an Ethiopian name. |
| 00:16:53 |
The jerk has a girlfriend! |
| 00:17:08 |
Is anything wrong? |
| 00:17:12 |
No. |
| 00:17:13 |
They say you're working hard. |
| 00:17:15 |
- Did the director say that? |
| 00:17:18 |
He's very happy. |
| 00:17:21 |
Maybe you're working too hard. |
| 00:17:25 |
Or maybe not discreetly enough. |
| 00:17:27 |
Did you come to say that? |
| 00:17:29 |
The director called to tell you |
| 00:17:31 |
I should be careful |
| 00:17:36 |
Is that it? |
| 00:17:38 |
I came to see you. |
| 00:17:42 |
I hear you've got a girlfriend? |
| 00:17:44 |
Who told you? |
| 00:17:45 |
Sarah. She calls sometimes |
| 00:17:50 |
What did she say? |
| 00:17:51 |
That her name was Mandala. |
| 00:17:53 |
Mandala, this is Grandpa. |
| 00:17:55 |
Nice to meet you. |
| 00:17:58 |
It must cost a fortune |
| 00:18:03 |
Did you have a cow in Ethiopia? |
| 00:18:11 |
Yes, I did. |
| 00:18:14 |
That's good. |
| 00:18:26 |
"An Arab was killed |
| 00:18:29 |
"during a riot |
| 00:18:34 |
Should we give back land |
| 00:18:37 |
we consider our own, |
| 00:18:39 |
the land of our ancestors? |
| 00:18:41 |
We were deprived of it |
| 00:18:44 |
and had no other to call our own. |
| 00:18:47 |
And now we finally have it back |
| 00:18:55 |
This tree provides shade. |
| 00:19:04 |
But the tree over there, |
| 00:19:08 |
it was there before we got here. |
| 00:19:15 |
I think we should share the land, |
| 00:19:18 |
like the sun and the shade, |
| 00:19:21 |
so others can know love, too. |
| 00:19:26 |
Even if we risk |
| 00:19:31 |
Love doesn't come without risks. |
| 00:19:35 |
And it's difficult to decide |
| 00:20:00 |
Thanks for coming. |
| 00:20:14 |
Do you believe in God? |
| 00:20:17 |
When my feet ache |
| 00:20:19 |
or when there's war here |
| 00:20:23 |
Like any left-wing guy, I guess. |
| 00:20:25 |
I'm not all that nice with Him. |
| 00:20:28 |
I only call when I need Him. |
| 00:20:30 |
Never "How are You?" |
| 00:20:43 |
Yes, hold on. |
| 00:20:46 |
Schlomo, phone for you. |
| 00:20:53 |
I don't believe it! |
| 00:21:08 |
- I just... |
| 00:21:12 |
Just kidding! |
| 00:21:15 |
- Great, I loved it. |
| 00:21:17 |
It's so cheesy, |
| 00:21:21 |
"look at the exploits |
| 00:21:24 |
Are Ethiopian men |
| 00:21:28 |
What? Why? |
| 00:21:29 |
Just curious, that's all. |
| 00:21:31 |
Just to see if you could marry |
| 00:21:35 |
Dunno. Want me to find out? |
| 00:21:36 |
Forget it. It's alright. |
| 00:21:40 |
How's Mandala doing? |
| 00:21:44 |
We write, she lives far away. |
| 00:21:47 |
You write letters, too? |
| 00:21:49 |
Yes... not beautiful, |
| 00:21:52 |
I said to him: |
| 00:21:55 |
Isn't that clear? |
| 00:21:58 |
He said: "Want me to find out?" |
| 00:22:01 |
Do I need to send him a fax? |
| 00:22:03 |
He exasperates me... |
| 00:22:07 |
Yes, we can marry whites. |
| 00:22:10 |
But... |
| 00:22:12 |
But? |
| 00:22:14 |
But the day she marries an Ethiopian, |
| 00:22:17 |
the white woman becomes black. |
| 00:22:56 |
Put my mask on. |
| 00:22:59 |
You're younger. |
| 00:23:01 |
You've got all your life |
| 00:23:04 |
And you've got to find your mother. |
| 00:23:08 |
You're not allowed to die before. |
| 00:23:21 |
Hello. |
| 00:23:22 |
You come home at this hour? |
| 00:23:25 |
At least call after an alert |
| 00:23:31 |
God damn it. |
| 00:23:40 |
We've got to save money, Yael. |
| 00:23:43 |
Cut down on expenses. |
| 00:23:51 |
Let's go somewhere else. |
| 00:23:53 |
To France or Canada... |
| 00:24:02 |
You have two sons, |
| 00:24:05 |
I know, two future soldiers. |
| 00:24:07 |
They'll go to war like you. |
| 00:24:09 |
You think I want that? |
| 00:24:13 |
- Then let's go. |
| 00:24:15 |
The right-wing fools who want war? |
| 00:24:24 |
They're your children. |
| 00:24:33 |
This is my country. |
| 00:24:37 |
Several years later - 1993 |
| 00:24:41 |
- Yes to peace! |
| 00:25:29 |
Things will be better now, darling. |
| 00:25:45 |
Let's try! |
| 00:25:49 |
I'm black. |
| 00:25:52 |
I don't give a shit! |
| 00:25:55 |
For me, you're... |
| 00:25:57 |
You're red. |
| 00:26:03 |
I've got to go. |
| 00:26:10 |
Forget it. |
| 00:26:16 |
The river dried up months ago. |
| 00:26:18 |
The little water left |
| 00:26:22 |
It's the source of the dysentery |
| 00:26:26 |
This camp was built |
| 00:26:29 |
Today it's home |
| 00:26:32 |
The world is pouring in medicine |
| 00:26:37 |
but it has failed |
| 00:26:41 |
from these people left behind |
| 00:26:44 |
They came in the hope |
| 00:26:48 |
due to months of starvation |
| 00:26:51 |
The doctors are doing their best, |
| 00:26:54 |
yet illnesses, so easily |
| 00:26:59 |
There is overcrowding, |
| 00:27:01 |
and many are too weak |
| 00:27:03 |
like vaccination |
| 00:27:07 |
By common consent, many who |
| 00:27:12 |
if aid teams had been |
| 00:27:15 |
and waiting |
| 00:27:19 |
The Sudanese protest |
| 00:27:22 |
thousands of Ethiopians |
| 00:27:26 |
The U.S., |
| 00:27:29 |
is ready to feed the Sudanese, |
| 00:27:31 |
but is reluctant to do the same |
| 00:27:35 |
You want to go to Sudan? |
| 00:27:37 |
What camp? |
| 00:27:40 |
You know there's a war on? |
| 00:27:42 |
I've got to find her. |
| 00:27:44 |
I can't wait my entire life. |
| 00:27:46 |
You won't find her! |
| 00:27:49 |
- No, I... |
| 00:27:51 |
You haven't understood a thing |
| 00:27:55 |
We're condemned to live! |
| 00:27:57 |
We came out of Ethiopia |
| 00:28:03 |
Snatched from the clutches of death. |
| 00:28:07 |
We'll have 40 years |
| 00:28:13 |
So what? |
| 00:28:22 |
My son was butchered |
| 00:28:25 |
before me like a dog |
| 00:28:29 |
by our own guides and their henchmen. |
| 00:28:35 |
He tried to save his wife |
| 00:28:39 |
from being raped. |
| 00:28:41 |
They killed her three days later. |
| 00:28:44 |
Amongst others. |
| 00:28:48 |
My wife |
| 00:28:50 |
died of a broken heart in the camp. |
| 00:28:55 |
Do you think I can ever forget |
| 00:29:03 |
Do you think I can ever forget |
| 00:29:10 |
No. |
| 00:29:12 |
But I only have one option: |
| 00:29:16 |
To serve those who survived. |
| 00:29:18 |
You, for example. |
| 00:29:24 |
Look at this. |
| 00:30:19 |
This is all I could rescue: |
| 00:30:29 |
Go now. |
| 00:31:29 |
- What's your name? |
| 00:31:32 |
You're cute. |
| 00:31:34 |
You too. |
| 00:31:36 |
Do you dance? |
| 00:31:37 |
I don't know how. |
| 00:31:39 |
Come on. |
| 00:32:00 |
I've got to confess something: |
| 00:32:03 |
I'm not Jewish. |
| 00:32:05 |
But I feel Jewish. |
| 00:32:08 |
In a way, I am. |
| 00:32:10 |
I'm not Jewish, |
| 00:32:12 |
but I feel Jewish. |
| 00:32:24 |
That's OK, baby, |
| 00:32:26 |
I really like you. |
| 00:32:28 |
But if you want to go any further, |
| 00:32:35 |
Yes, of course... |
| 00:32:54 |
Lie down. |
| 00:32:57 |
Baby, |
| 00:32:59 |
I'll be back. |
| 00:33:03 |
You touch my sister? |
| 00:33:07 |
You touch her? |
| 00:33:22 |
I've got the cash. |
| 00:33:40 |
I don't give a shit about your story! |
| 00:33:42 |
Do you hear? |
| 00:33:45 |
Or your troubles! "We were simply |
| 00:33:51 |
I don't give a fuck! What about us? |
| 00:33:55 |
What about us? |
| 00:33:57 |
We're not even in the film. |
| 00:34:02 |
Dead! |
| 00:34:04 |
A simple statistic! Do you hear? |
| 00:34:06 |
I know you hear me! |
| 00:34:09 |
Answer me! |
| 00:34:11 |
Answer me! |
| 00:34:18 |
He's my son! |
| 00:34:22 |
Please! |
| 00:34:23 |
Leave him alone, it's not his fault. |
| 00:34:26 |
He's my son. |
| 00:34:29 |
It'll be okay. |
| 00:34:46 |
I'm not Jewish. |
| 00:34:52 |
You've known all along, haven't you? |
| 00:35:09 |
We lived in a small village |
| 00:35:16 |
Aleka and Kidane, |
| 00:35:21 |
I had a sister, Tirunesh. |
| 00:35:23 |
Beautiful, a real princess. |
| 00:35:27 |
And a big brother, Menelik. |
| 00:35:30 |
He made me laugh so much. |
| 00:35:32 |
We had a little bit of land |
| 00:35:35 |
Mandala. |
| 00:35:38 |
The army sent my father to fight |
| 00:35:43 |
against the Eritrean rebels. |
| 00:35:49 |
He never came back: Dead. |
| 00:35:53 |
A year later, |
| 00:35:55 |
the drought killed Mandala. |
| 00:35:59 |
We left for the south, |
| 00:36:02 |
We set out on foot... |
| 00:36:12 |
My sister was the first to die |
| 00:36:15 |
of disease and exhaustion. |
| 00:36:20 |
A mound of earth, |
| 00:36:22 |
a cross in the middle of the desert. |
| 00:36:25 |
I don't remember |
| 00:36:34 |
But one day... |
| 00:36:36 |
One day, I'll find her. |
| 00:36:41 |
What about your brother? |
| 00:36:52 |
My mother sent me |
| 00:36:56 |
We had been there for several months. |
| 00:36:59 |
Water was at the other end |
| 00:37:06 |
She gave me three coins. |
| 00:37:09 |
I took the can and went. |
| 00:37:13 |
They took the money |
| 00:37:16 |
They said: "You didn't pay." |
| 00:37:18 |
The spring belonged to a gang. |
| 00:37:21 |
I asked them |
| 00:37:24 |
People started to defend me |
| 00:37:28 |
A fight broke out. |
| 00:37:32 |
Everyone was on edge. |
| 00:37:36 |
Then I saw my brother... |
| 00:37:38 |
in the middle of the fight. |
| 00:37:41 |
I don't know how he got there |
| 00:37:45 |
He came to defend me. I tried |
| 00:37:49 |
The Sudanese soldiers showed up |
| 00:37:53 |
The crowd dispersed. |
| 00:38:07 |
Everyone moved aside. |
| 00:38:13 |
My brother was on the ground. |
| 00:38:18 |
Stabbed for a can of water... |
| 00:38:22 |
For 3 cents. |
| 00:38:27 |
It was my fault. |
| 00:38:32 |
It wasn't your fault. |
| 00:38:35 |
You were only 9 years old. |
| 00:38:38 |
Your mother didn't |
| 00:38:41 |
She never wanted to punish you. |
| 00:38:45 |
You loved him, she knew that. |
| 00:38:47 |
Then, why? Why? |
| 00:38:49 |
Why did she forbid me to return? |
| 00:38:54 |
To save you. So that you would live. |
| 00:39:07 |
Cry, you're allowed. |
| 00:39:16 |
Come on, I have a doctor friend. |
| 00:39:21 |
He'll look after you. |
| 00:39:46 |
I know you, don't I? |
| 00:39:49 |
This is François Buchman, |
| 00:39:53 |
He worked for the Red Cross |
| 00:39:57 |
We met in Um Raquba |
| 00:40:01 |
He's been in Israel for 10 years. |
| 00:40:04 |
Come in. |
| 00:40:10 |
Don't move. It'll sting a bit. |
| 00:40:22 |
I was the one to bury |
| 00:40:25 |
Hana's real son |
| 00:40:28 |
His name was Solomon... Schlomo. |
| 00:40:33 |
He was only nine years old. |
| 00:40:36 |
You were born a second time that day. |
| 00:40:41 |
It took me a while to accept it. |
| 00:40:48 |
Forgive me. |
| 00:40:58 |
My God! |
| 00:40:59 |
Look at you. |
| 00:41:03 |
There were 5 of them. Nazis! |
| 00:41:06 |
It was that Jewish nose of yours. |
| 00:41:28 |
Sarah, listen. |
| 00:41:35 |
I'm going abroad. |
| 00:41:37 |
I want to become a doctor. |
| 00:41:45 |
You're running away. |
| 00:41:50 |
You're running away! |
| 00:41:53 |
You don't want to see me |
| 00:41:58 |
or be here when I marry. |
| 00:42:06 |
I won't wait for you. |
| 00:42:19 |
None of our family |
| 00:42:22 |
What's wrong with you? |
| 00:42:24 |
We all did the military |
| 00:42:26 |
You're an ingrate. |
| 00:42:30 |
I could never shoot anybody. |
| 00:42:34 |
Why didn't anybody |
| 00:42:36 |
- Stop! |
| 00:42:39 |
But I'll defend my country. |
| 00:42:42 |
Really? Just how? |
| 00:42:44 |
Differently. With words. |
| 00:42:46 |
You'll go far. Very far! |
| 00:42:49 |
- Another minister. |
| 00:42:52 |
He's seen enough death. |
| 00:42:54 |
The country will die. |
| 00:42:55 |
Yoram, defend your family. |
| 00:42:57 |
My family lives in a country, |
| 00:42:58 |
amongst other families |
| 00:43:05 |
If the foundations are shaky, |
| 00:43:13 |
He'll go to Paris. |
| 00:43:30 |
Forgive me for coming. |
| 00:43:43 |
I have a secret, Schlomo. |
| 00:43:45 |
I've got to get it off my chest. |
| 00:43:49 |
You know, the truth is... |
| 00:43:54 |
I didn't want you. |
| 00:43:55 |
I didn't want to adopt you. |
| 00:43:57 |
I was against it. |
| 00:43:59 |
Really against it. |
| 00:44:01 |
I was afraid, |
| 00:44:03 |
afraid for Dany and Tali, |
| 00:44:08 |
Yoram was all for it. Completely! |
| 00:44:12 |
He was a real bulldozer. |
| 00:44:14 |
As though he knew you already. |
| 00:44:20 |
"Yael, all those Falasha orphans, |
| 00:44:22 |
"we can adopt them all, |
| 00:44:25 |
Every day, Schlomo. |
| 00:44:29 |
And I refused, |
| 00:44:34 |
Yoram won |
| 00:44:37 |
Not one second. |
| 00:44:40 |
You're part of the family |
| 00:44:54 |
Go on now. |
| 00:45:45 |
We've looked at the anatomy |
| 00:45:49 |
and now we'll look at pathologies. |
| 00:45:52 |
Radicular pathologies, |
| 00:45:56 |
Notice the sciatic nerve... |
| 00:46:07 |
You're Jewish? A black guy? |
| 00:46:22 |
I've also been uprooted. |
| 00:46:25 |
I had a real slap in the face |
| 00:46:38 |
Where are your parents? |
| 00:46:43 |
The guy's tall, 1.86 meters, |
| 00:46:46 |
blonde with blue eyes. |
| 00:46:49 |
Does it bother you |
| 00:46:52 |
Do you miss me? |
| 00:46:55 |
I miss you. |
| 00:46:57 |
I left him, a jerk |
| 00:47:00 |
I'm in love with my lieutenant. |
| 00:47:04 |
I miss you, my love. |
| 00:47:06 |
You must have changed. |
| 00:47:09 |
You must have become a real man. |
| 00:47:25 |
Yitzhak Rabin, |
| 00:47:27 |
the Israeli Prime Minister, |
| 00:47:34 |
Why, my love? |
| 00:47:36 |
Why did they kill him? |
| 00:47:38 |
Congratulations. We were very pleased |
| 00:47:42 |
Here is your diploma. |
| 00:47:50 |
- Are you OK, Qes? |
| 00:47:52 |
I'm at the airport. I'm coming home. |
| 00:47:55 |
I got my diploma. I'm a doctor. |
| 00:47:58 |
Don't come home, Schlomo. |
| 00:48:00 |
There's a big trial |
| 00:48:03 |
who passed themselves off as Jews. |
| 00:48:06 |
It's all over the media. |
| 00:48:09 |
Everyone's accusing them |
| 00:48:13 |
They want to send them back. |
| 00:48:16 |
Non-Jewish Russians, too. |
| 00:48:21 |
Qes, where is my home? |
| 00:48:24 |
Stay in France! |
| 00:48:44 |
You won't die! |
| 00:48:47 |
Don't die! |
| 00:48:49 |
Don't die! Not you! |
| 00:48:57 |
Don't touch my child! |
| 00:48:59 |
You'll all end up in the sea, |
| 00:49:13 |
Don't treat them, got that? |
| 00:49:17 |
Understand, kushee? |
| 00:49:21 |
I don't understand... |
| 00:49:36 |
You were lucky. |
| 00:49:38 |
Stop crying, he's alive. |
| 00:49:40 |
You were born under a lucky star. |
| 00:49:44 |
A star named Mandala. |
| 00:49:49 |
I want to have a child. |
| 00:49:52 |
What? Are you crazy? With who? |
| 00:49:54 |
I don't care. A family. |
| 00:49:56 |
I passed the exam in Technion. |
| 00:49:58 |
I'll be a computer engineer. |
| 00:50:01 |
I didn't tell Daddy. |
| 00:50:02 |
He thinks I'm studying philosophy. |
| 00:50:04 |
Can I have a word with him alone? |
| 00:50:18 |
Tell her you love her. She's crazy |
| 00:50:22 |
Otherwise, I'll kill you! |
| 00:50:26 |
Schlomo wants to talk to you. |
| 00:50:35 |
To our beautiful Polish bride! |
| 00:51:18 |
May I? |
| 00:51:24 |
You're sad they didn't come? |
| 00:51:29 |
Your father renounced you, |
| 00:51:33 |
You look good for a corpse. |
| 00:51:38 |
Imagine when they resuscitate you... |
| 00:51:41 |
Here comes the sunshine! |
| 00:51:43 |
Sarah, with time, it will get better. |
| 00:51:46 |
When you have a child, |
| 00:51:49 |
Especially if it's a boy! |
| 00:51:51 |
Your mother will sew up the vest |
| 00:52:40 |
I love you! |
| 00:52:56 |
Down the hatch, guys. |
| 00:53:01 |
One more time. Let's go! |
| 00:53:09 |
Tell her tonight. |
| 00:53:15 |
I'll lose her, Qes. |
| 00:53:18 |
I just barely found her again. |
| 00:53:20 |
I'll tell her soon. I'm too happy. |
| 00:53:22 |
Tell her! |
| 00:53:29 |
Sarah! Stop! |
| 00:53:31 |
No, you can't stop me. |
| 00:53:32 |
I've waited 10 years. |
| 00:53:36 |
Sarah, listen! |
| 00:53:38 |
Okay. |
| 00:53:42 |
I have to tell you a secret. |
| 00:53:44 |
Alright, then. |
| 00:53:46 |
Want to swap secrets? |
| 00:53:48 |
I didn't sleep |
| 00:53:52 |
Not even a quarter of them. |
| 00:53:55 |
I slept with two. |
| 00:53:57 |
OK, just one. So? |
| 00:53:59 |
When you left, |
| 00:54:02 |
prove to myself I didn't love you. |
| 00:54:05 |
What's your secret? |
| 00:54:06 |
Did you jump |
| 00:54:09 |
including the Eiffel Tower? |
| 00:54:10 |
"Yes, Schlomo, yes!" |
| 00:54:17 |
You won't leave me... |
| 00:54:26 |
Are you joking? |
| 00:54:34 |
What is it? |
| 00:54:38 |
I'm listening! |
| 00:54:49 |
It's not that... |
| 00:54:52 |
It's just... |
| 00:54:59 |
I wanted to say... |
| 00:55:05 |
Itai's letters... I was the one... |
| 00:55:08 |
Those love letters, |
| 00:55:11 |
it was me... |
| 00:55:15 |
Is that it? |
| 00:55:20 |
Are you sure? |
| 00:55:26 |
I knew that, you ass! |
| 00:55:30 |
I fell in love |
| 00:55:33 |
Not you! Idiot! |
| 00:55:43 |
Dad and I are setting up a company. |
| 00:55:45 |
A start-up! |
| 00:55:48 |
We set up a research contract |
| 00:55:51 |
Mazel Tov! And what about the baby? |
| 00:55:53 |
He's doing well. |
| 00:55:54 |
His idiotic father hasn't called |
| 00:55:57 |
You didn't give him a choice. |
| 00:56:00 |
Hang up. |
| 00:56:03 |
Tali, I've got to hang up. |
| 00:56:06 |
- Well? |
| 00:56:09 |
I'm pregnant! |
| 00:56:46 |
No, I don't believe it. |
| 00:56:51 |
You have 30 seconds |
| 00:57:08 |
I knew it. |
| 00:57:10 |
I felt it. |
| 00:57:15 |
It was too good to be true. |
| 00:57:22 |
I cut myself off from my family. |
| 00:57:26 |
For you. |
| 00:57:30 |
I left my father, |
| 00:57:35 |
For you! |
| 00:57:38 |
They all renounced me. Everyone! |
| 00:57:43 |
For you. Think that was easy? |
| 00:57:49 |
Have we known each other |
| 00:57:52 |
10 years of lies! |
| 00:57:56 |
You didn't trust me! |
| 00:57:59 |
I couldn't care less |
| 00:58:02 |
white, red or black. |
| 00:58:05 |
I loved you. |
| 00:58:07 |
You, Schlomo, you! |
| 00:58:11 |
Asshole! |
| 00:58:30 |
Hello, Yael? |
| 00:58:32 |
Can I see you? |
| 00:58:47 |
Hello, Sarah. |
| 00:58:49 |
Can I come in? |
| 00:58:57 |
I'm not asking you to forgive him. |
| 00:59:00 |
I understand your anger, Sarah. |
| 00:59:04 |
Try to imagine Schlomo's trauma. |
| 00:59:12 |
A mother who loves |
| 00:59:16 |
she's willing to send him away, |
| 00:59:19 |
and never see him again, |
| 00:59:24 |
to save him. |
| 00:59:26 |
And a man who loves his wife |
| 00:59:30 |
that he dares not tell his secret |
| 00:59:42 |
Isn't that love? |
| 00:59:53 |
Don't leave him, Sarah. |
| 01:00:00 |
Don't leave him. |
| 01:00:14 |
It's amazing |
| 01:00:25 |
You've got to promise me something. |
| 01:01:08 |
Doctor, doctor... |
| 01:01:37 |
Red Skin, listen, he's talking. |
| 01:01:40 |
Say daddy. |
| 01:01:43 |
Daddy... |
| 01:02:09 |
I'll keep my promise. |
| 01:02:12 |
I'll call you. I miss you. |
| 01:02:55 |
Mommy... |
| 01:02:58 |
I love you. |
| 01:04:10 |
