00:01:44 Cape Town, South Africa, 1952
00:01:59 Bastards!
00:02:01 Good day, Amina.
00:02:03 Sergeant.
00:02:09 Good day, Jacob.
00:02:11 Sergeant Stewart.
00:02:12 So, she finally got the place opened?
00:02:15 Nice business to have.
00:02:17 I imagine it is.
00:02:27 These new laws are making life
00:02:30 They're not making it a picnic
00:02:33 My colleague's waiting in the car.
00:02:36 He has a problem with
00:02:39 You know it's an offence for blacks
00:02:43 There are no whites here.
00:02:45 Present company excluded.
00:02:48 As non-blacks then.
00:02:50 This is an Indian area.
00:02:52 Maybe coloureds, but no blacks.
00:02:57 Passports.
00:02:58 You know they have passes.
00:03:00 I want to see them. Now!
00:03:07 This is only a travel permit.
00:03:10 Yes, sir.
00:03:11 Where's your pass?
00:03:12 But I don't have a pass, sir.
00:03:13 I'm coloured, not black.
00:03:15 Yeah, you look like a Kaffir to me.
00:03:17 Her father was Dutch,
00:03:19 like mine.
00:03:21 You understand, Jacob, it's
00:03:25 Stewart, what are you talking
00:03:29 Calm down.
00:03:31 You keep serving blacks and
00:03:43 Ma'am, it would be safer
00:03:46 You don't have to pay for the...
00:03:48 I can finish my coffee, mister ...?
00:03:50 Williams.
00:03:52 Jacob Williams.
00:03:53 I'm Madeline Smith.
00:03:55 You run the post office.
00:03:56 Well, you come in it.
00:04:01 You're Amina's business partner,
00:04:04 Ah, well, no,
00:04:07 Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.
00:04:10 Partnership would be illegal,
00:04:17 Thank you, for shielding me
00:04:27 Would you excuse me?
00:04:36 What is it?
00:04:39 My grandmother.
00:04:42 We'll get a new glass,
00:04:44 Are you OK?
00:04:47 And you?
00:04:48 I'm not so old that I can't
00:04:52 Not to mention
00:05:15 Milk...
00:05:23 Come in here and get ready
00:05:25 Thank God we are moving out
00:05:29 before the next one comes.
00:05:31 Say goodbye to papa.
00:05:38 OK, Sam, Yasmine, upstairs!
00:05:40 Go! Brush your teeth, get your books!
00:05:44 Off!
00:06:04 He said yes.
00:06:05 We can go.
00:06:07 Where?
00:06:08 Out for lunch!
00:06:09 To the "Location Café".
00:06:11 I can't believe our husbands
00:06:14 Come on, Miriam. Get dressed!
00:06:32 Good morning!
00:06:39 I'm so sorry.
00:06:41 Thank you, Doris.
00:06:43 Please, leave it.
00:06:48 They have staff to do that.
00:06:58 Good morning, ladies.
00:06:59 - Good morning.
00:07:00 Our special today is lamb bredie
00:07:04 What are "koeksisters"?
00:07:06 It's a South African delicacy.
00:07:08 A fried doughnut
00:07:12 Here, try one!
00:07:14 See if you like it.
00:07:24 It's delicious.
00:07:25 Good. I'll send some over and I promise
00:07:34 She thinks a lot of herself.
00:07:36 Maybe she should.
00:07:38 She owns a business and
00:07:41 No, she's not.
00:07:42 Where do you see any of
00:07:45 Like what?
00:07:45 Are you blind?!
00:07:48 Like a man.
00:07:52 Maybe it's easier to work
00:08:08 Daddy, is it far?
00:08:10 I told you, Delhof's in the country.
00:08:14 Will we have a house there
00:08:16 We'll get a much bigger & better
00:08:18 With a big shop underneath.
00:08:20 Who'll work in it?
00:08:21 I will. And your mother. And we'll
00:08:25 And we'll have a night watchman
00:08:45 Shall we leave?
00:09:55 We'll need to work hard,
00:11:12 She would've been
00:11:32 Hello, Bhai.
00:11:34 Mrs Benjamin is making
00:11:37 She says you should
00:11:41 How hard is it
00:11:49 Here. It will give you
00:11:53 Are you OK?
00:11:55 Shall I call her?
00:11:57 No.
00:12:01 No, I'm OK.
00:12:04 Going already?
00:12:05 Yes, I need to go
00:12:07 Don't worry about it.
00:12:11 Here, love. You have
00:12:14 Thank you, Mrs Benjamin.
00:12:16 He's not one for a chat,
00:12:19 No, he's not.
00:12:29 There's nobody here.
00:12:33 I don't know who you think is
00:12:35 to buy groceries at this
00:12:42 Where's the boy?
00:12:43 Robert?
00:12:46 He's making deliveries.
00:12:48 Later?
00:12:50 What are you doing?
00:12:52 Has it been so long that you
00:12:56 I suppose she doesn't like you
00:13:18 You come to Cape Town
00:13:21 Come and see me.
00:13:35 Sit down.
00:13:47 So what do you do
00:13:49 Homework.
00:13:50 Good... Good.
00:13:56 Do it then.
00:13:58 I don't have any homework.
00:13:59 Why not?
00:14:00 She's only five.
00:14:01 She doesn't get homework
00:14:08 Hello, mister Husband.
00:14:09 Or should I say: mister Father?
00:14:12 Is it a boy?
00:14:13 What a question!
00:14:15 You have a beautiful baby girl.
00:14:31 My son!
00:14:33 I have traveled
00:14:49 All these Africans!
00:14:50 That's the problem
00:14:54 too many black people.
00:14:56 You should come home my son,
00:15:00 How will Amina find a good
00:15:02 There are plenty of families
00:15:05 Of course she's ready!
00:15:08 She's work--
00:15:10 She couldn't come.
00:15:11 Working?
00:15:13 Did you say she's working?
00:15:14 Where is she working?
00:15:17 Cape Town.
00:15:20 The girl needs to be brought back
00:15:24 Why is she working?
00:15:29 She must mix more.
00:15:32 The Alis. Do you know them?
00:15:34 - Yes.
00:15:38 Your son never lets us
00:15:45 Amina will never come.
00:15:47 It is Amina's duty to be
00:15:50 She will come.
00:15:58 Amina, you're late. They're here
00:16:02 Who's here?
00:16:03 Where are you going?
00:16:05 Inside?
00:16:05 Like this?
00:16:07 Like this.
00:16:10 What else
00:16:31 I'll help you serve the food.
00:16:34 I don't see why people say
00:16:38 They may want to go out for a while
00:16:41 But I think our girls always find it
00:16:47 Doesn't Amina
00:16:48 Only now and then.
00:16:50 - But what about the caf--
00:16:53 Things have been so busy
00:16:57 I don't have time to stop
00:17:01 Sometimes I wish
00:17:05 And how many children
00:17:07 Oh, I don't know... I suppose
00:17:12 Do you want only boys?
00:17:13 What would make you think
00:17:16 What a rubbish!
00:17:18 Everybody!
00:17:19 Well, I'm not everybody.
00:17:21 And I wouldn't care
00:17:23 as long as the child was
00:17:25 Nothing else really matters, does it?
00:17:28 I think she's right.
00:17:29 I think it's time for desert.
00:17:42 We're going to Cape Town
00:17:45 All of us?
00:17:48 Do you remember
00:17:50 Two weeks ago.
00:17:52 It's from my sister, Rehmat.
00:17:54 The one in Paris?
00:17:58 Who told you that?
00:18:00 Farah.
00:18:03 She's coming with her husband.
00:18:08 I'm going to go to sleep.
00:19:00 Farah, come and help me here!
00:19:02 They'll be here
00:19:04 And you know
00:19:07 Not as much
00:19:15 They're here!
00:19:16 I'm cooking!
00:19:24 Well, where is she?
00:19:26 She's gone to the hotel
00:19:28 That's a stupid thing to do.
00:19:31 Are they trying to get caught?
00:19:33 They shouldn't even be here.
00:19:34 - He's father's dying.
00:19:37 He'll be dead in a week and
00:19:39 Do they think
00:19:40 Which hotel is he staying at?
00:19:42 At "The Royal".
00:19:43 If you can believe it.
00:19:48 I don't know who they
00:20:00 And this is my other
00:20:02 This is Miriam.
00:20:04 Hello.
00:20:08 It took me a while
00:20:09 Paris must be such a nightmare
00:20:12 I meant that it
00:20:15 for either of us.
00:20:16 But then I realised that
00:20:19 no list of rules,
00:20:23 if I wanted to work.
00:20:25 We were very sorry to hear
00:20:27 He gave us
00:20:31 I suppose death can give you
00:20:33 on what's important.
00:20:34 And now eating here
00:20:36 at the time
00:20:39 Aren't you afraid?
00:20:41 Of what could happen
00:20:43 My husband is an idealist.
00:20:44 We have no time for idealists
00:20:46 We have to be practical.
00:20:48 Get what we can
00:20:50 You know, my husband and you,
00:20:56 We are twins.
00:21:02 Why couldn't you tell me?
00:21:04 Men never tell you anything.
00:21:14 Miriam, why don't we
00:21:16 to take us
00:21:18 I used to sneak out and go
00:21:20 on my school breaks.
00:21:24 I should stay and help.
00:21:25 Bhabhi, you go, I'll take care
00:21:29 Farah can make us tea.
00:22:01 Is that the Harjan girl?
00:22:03 She's young and she
00:22:06 With a partner.
00:22:07 Imagine at her age to be the
00:22:10 and a good business too!
00:22:12 Sunday is always her
00:22:14 I think she's done well
00:22:16 So do I.
00:22:18 She's not totally
00:22:20 Have you ever seen one
00:22:23 with such curly hair?
00:22:25 Are you saying
00:22:28 That's her grandmother, Begum.
00:22:30 The child is Amina's mother.
00:22:32 There was a big scandal.
00:22:34 She messed around
00:22:38 Should I pretend to be horrified?
00:22:40 You know, plenty of white people,
00:22:43 would sit there one day, just like
00:22:45 and accuse my children
00:22:47 That's not
00:22:48 It's exactly the same thing.
00:22:51 How can you
00:22:53 How can you bear
00:22:54 South Africa is my home.
00:23:06 You wanted ten pence worth...
00:23:28 I'd like to serve someone
00:23:38 WHITES NON-WHITES
00:23:50 I love South Africa.
00:23:52 What do you love about it?
00:23:53 The freedom, the space.
00:23:55 It's not like India.
00:23:56 No, it's not.
00:23:59 And God help anyone
00:24:01 I fight it. And I think
00:24:05 I fought so hard
00:24:07 I had to leave
00:24:17 Do you still like "koeksisters"?
00:24:19 Yes, I do.
00:24:20 And have you had any since
00:24:25 Never.
00:24:26 Good. I'll send some over.
00:24:28 Amina, this gentleman here
00:24:31 someone to help
00:24:33 You want it or know
00:24:34 I want a vegetable garden,
00:24:36 behind my house,
00:24:38 I can do it.
00:24:39 I want a big space.
00:24:40 I need enough to sell
00:24:42 If you want me
00:24:45 Can you come early?
00:24:46 How about seven?
00:25:16 Hello.
00:25:17 That's the patch I'd like you to do.
00:25:19 Mummy, why is she wearing trousers?
00:25:22 Because she works outside.
00:25:26 Don't forget their lunch.
00:25:28 Thank you, Robert.
00:25:29 Robert, give the young lady some chapatis
00:25:32 and there's fig jam
00:25:34 Come.
00:25:43 Good morning.
00:25:44 Hello.
00:25:46 Say hello to the lady.
00:25:47 Hello, Ma'am.
00:25:51 Come on!
00:25:56 Bye!
00:26:36 I... I brought you some food.
00:26:40 Thank you.
00:26:43 It smells delicious.
00:26:45 I wish I could cook so well.
00:26:46 But you work in a café.
00:26:48 All Jacob's recipes.
00:26:52 Well, then you should learn.
00:26:53 So my mother tells me.
00:26:55 Your mother's right.
00:26:56 What will you do
00:26:58 I don't know, I suppose
00:26:59 find someone who can cook.
00:27:06 Have you eaten?
00:27:08 Why don't you join me?
00:27:10 I have to mind the shop.
00:27:21 I just want
00:27:24 I'm just a housewife
00:27:27 And doesn't a housewife have
00:27:29 and wishes,
00:27:36 You were the first person to
00:27:40 ...in eight days.
00:27:45 I count it!
00:28:28 What's this?
00:28:30 Poetry.
00:28:35 I can't take it.
00:28:37 Don't you like reading?
00:28:38 I love reading.
00:28:41 I mean I used to...
00:28:43 I used to read a lot...
00:28:46 Please, keep it then.
00:28:51 Stay for dinner.
00:28:53 I should get going.
00:28:55 No, you can't
00:28:57 I'll be fine.
00:28:58 No. Maybe in town
00:29:00 The roads are just tracks.
00:29:04 Stay.
00:29:48 If you're going to stay,
00:29:53 Your husband's not back yet?
00:29:55 He works late in Cape Town.
00:29:57 Usually he stays at his sister-in-...
00:30:00 brother's place.
00:30:05 The daal was delicious.
00:30:06 Do you want some more?
00:30:08 No, I would like to
00:30:11 There's hot water
00:30:57 What are you doing?
00:31:05 I couldn't sleep.
00:31:07 Me neither.
00:31:10 Let me get you some tea.
00:31:12 I'll make the tea,
00:31:18 Miriam is always
00:31:28 Tell me...
00:31:30 Has anyone ever
00:31:40 When did you come
00:31:44 Seven years ago,
00:31:47 Me too!
00:31:49 Our first evening
00:31:51 and we walk straight into
00:31:54 There were sticks and guns
00:31:59 ...terrified.
00:32:00 I was there.
00:32:01 Protesting The Ghetto Bill.
00:32:03 I thought we could overthrow
00:32:10 Is there anything
00:32:14 I have to give people
00:32:18 Do you ever think about getting married
00:32:22 Yeah, it's that word "instead"
00:32:24 Why can't a woman do both
00:32:27 It's not usual.
00:32:28 No. But neither am I,
00:32:35 Where did you learn
00:32:39 My grandmother...
00:32:40 My mother's mother...
00:32:42 The picture in the café?
00:32:44 She lived here once before
00:32:48 You must have heard
00:32:51 There's always gossip...
00:32:54 Tell me the story. The real story,
00:32:59 I'd like to tell you.
00:33:02 I think you'd understand why my
00:33:06 What happened to her?
00:33:18 She was 19,
00:33:21 with one child already.
00:33:26 And shame and dishonour of being
00:33:32 But she became pregnant.
00:33:36 As soon as the baby was born,
00:33:41 they realised
00:33:44 What did they do to her?
00:34:06 They put her
00:34:09 to get a boat to Bombay.
00:34:31 Hold him out so I can kiss him.
00:34:35 No!
00:34:36 No! Stop! Stop the train! No!
00:34:40 No! Stop! No!
00:34:53 I can't imagine
00:34:56 It broke her.
00:34:59 She didn't have one choice
00:35:04 And for as long
00:35:06 she always warned be about the dangers
00:35:11 Is that why you
00:35:15 That's not the only reason.
00:35:25 Miriam?
00:35:27 Yes?
00:35:32 Nothing.
00:35:33 You should go,
00:35:59 Sam? Yasmine!
00:36:02 Auntie Amina was showing
00:36:05 Are you ready for school?
00:36:07 Did you eat?
00:36:09 Auntie Amina gave us some
00:36:13 Here we go.
00:36:14 OK.
00:36:16 I've never imagined
00:36:19 I've never imagined anything else.
00:36:22 OK, kids. You ready for school?
00:36:24 Come on.
00:36:26 Have a good day!
00:36:32 Can I make you
00:36:35 Perhaps later.
00:36:36 I'm going to start work.
00:36:43 I hope I didn't worry you with all my
00:36:50 No, you made me think
00:36:53 supposed to be a good thing,
00:36:57 That depends on who you ask.
00:37:04 What are you doing?
00:37:08 Reading.
00:37:09 I can see that.
00:37:14 Poetry.
00:37:16 Poetry.
00:37:18 At this time of night?!
00:37:22 I'm tired.
00:37:24 I was busy
00:37:26 With her?
00:37:29 What did you say?
00:37:32 Nothing.
00:37:53 "Love bade me welcome,
00:37:55 yet my soul drew back,
00:37:57 Guilty of dust and sin.
00:37:59 But quick-ey'd Love,
00:38:01 observing me grow slack
00:38:03 From my first entrance in,
00:38:05 Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
00:38:09 If I lack'd anything.
00:38:11 "A guest," I answer'd, "worthy to be here";
00:38:14 Love said, "You shall be he."
00:38:19 Afternoon.
00:38:20 We need to ask you
00:38:22 My husband is not here,
00:38:24 Yeah, we must've
00:38:26 Robert, get these gentlemen
00:38:31 It's a good shop
00:38:34 Thank you.
00:38:36 Is your sister-in-law here?
00:38:39 My brother-in-law
00:38:45 We're looking for Rehmat Winston.
00:38:47 And we know
00:38:50 They're not here.
00:38:53 So you know where they are.
00:39:08 Listen.
00:39:10 You'll be in a pile of shit
00:39:14 What have they done?
00:39:17 Have you heard of the Prohibition
00:39:21 It's there for a reason.
00:39:24 To stop this depravity.
00:39:28 It's against nature what these
00:39:33 Home from school.
00:39:34 No, you can't.
00:39:35 Yes, we can.
00:39:36 They may be witholding
00:39:38 No! No! Please!
00:39:41 Have you ever been to a
00:39:42 Where are we going?
00:39:44 Stop!
00:39:48 We'll bring them back later.
00:39:49 Or tomorrow, whenever
00:39:52 No, I'll tell you
00:39:53 Too late!
00:39:58 So? Where are they?
00:40:01 Where are they?
00:40:03 In Cape Town.
00:40:07 At my brother-in-law's.
00:40:10 You know, if you're lying,
00:40:12 I'll beat you, and your children,
00:40:53 I need help. The police
00:40:56 We can't.
00:40:57 Amina, you have to.
00:40:59 We can't help you.
00:41:01 I'm sorry.
00:41:04 Please, please, sit.
00:41:06 I understand. It's just...
00:41:09 If we helped you
00:41:11 someone would break when the
00:41:14 Are you sure?
00:41:18 Thank you for this,
00:41:29 You were supposed to tell us.
00:41:35 In front of my husband?!
00:41:37 Was I supposed to tell it while she
00:41:42 What kind of state police don't
00:41:49 Where are they now?
00:41:54 Some nice clothes...
00:41:55 French labels.
00:41:58 We'll find them.
00:42:00 You'll be the next,
00:42:07 I'm not stupid.
00:42:11 But there is someone around
00:42:16 And it won't be the first time
00:42:44 Stop that bloody noise!
00:42:55 Jacob.
00:42:56 Sergeant?
00:42:57 We're looking
00:43:00 Indians is all
00:43:02 But you're welcome
00:43:05 Where's Amina?
00:43:06 She's having a nap.
00:43:07 She'll be taking over
00:43:09 I'm not as young
00:43:24 I know she's here.
00:43:26 Who?
00:43:35 Open this up!
00:43:38 Go, go, go!
00:43:38 Open it!
00:43:46 What's all that?
00:43:47 Stock for the café.
00:43:50 That's why I keep it locked.
00:43:52 Those Kaffirs would steal anything.
00:43:58 Tell me where she is!
00:44:02 I really don't know who you're
00:44:04 You and I both know that I've
00:44:08 Stinkin' queer!
00:44:29 Hey, yours is the only place in town
00:44:31 where Kaffir workers
00:44:33 You get away with it.
00:44:35 Yes.
00:44:36 I could've closed you down
00:44:42 Yes.
00:44:43 So?
00:44:46 Was she here?
00:44:48 No.
00:44:50 Where is she?
00:44:51 I really don't know.
00:44:55 I'm sorry.
00:45:05 Who's that?
00:45:06 If it's the police, then I'll deal
00:45:12 Someone's here.
00:45:13 My goddamn truck.
00:45:14 What happened?
00:45:15 My lights have gone.
00:45:16 Hit a bloody Kaffir
00:45:18 pulling right in my way.
00:45:20 Thought it was just one side he caught,
00:45:23 We might have one of those.
00:45:24 Miriam!
00:45:25 Thanks.
00:45:34 Ah, that's the right one.
00:45:35 How is he?
00:45:38 Who?
00:45:39 The Kaffir. How is he?
00:45:41 Dead, I hope.
00:45:49 Just look at it. Both lights.
00:45:51 That should fit.
00:45:52 You reckon?
00:45:53 Yes. Try it.
00:45:56 Come on! Light it!
00:46:15 Are you OK?
00:46:16 I'm fine.
00:46:24 Where are you?
00:46:27 I can help.
00:46:32 Let me help you.
00:46:37 I don't need your help!
00:46:53 I don't need your help.
00:47:26 Where were you?
00:47:31 I thought I left the washing out.
00:47:49 Your place is here with me.
00:47:52 Not with those Kaffirs.
00:48:34 Oh! You found them!
00:48:37 Books, madam. You forgot them?
00:48:38 Yes, until somebody reminded me.
00:49:06 Robert, take this. Take it
00:49:26 Here you are.
00:49:28 Good morning, Jacob.
00:49:29 Good morning, Madeline.
00:49:30 Warm out today, isn't it?
00:49:32 You can say that again.
00:49:34 Hey, boy. Get me some water!
00:49:38 Go on! You understand
00:49:40 There's a jug over there.
00:49:43 Listen, I'm the employee here and
00:49:46 I'll get you the water if you are
00:49:53 What's the matter
00:49:54 That will be six pence
00:50:14 All of us here are losing our
00:50:16 aren't we?
00:50:17 Some of us more quickly
00:50:20 Oh, no. Don't you believe
00:50:23 It's men like him
00:50:26 Perhaps...
00:50:30 I've got a parcel here for you.
00:50:32 Or rather
00:50:35 Here. There's no other post.
00:50:41 There's no return address.
00:50:42 No. Perhaps it's
00:50:50 I'd better get back.
00:50:54 I'll see you soon.
00:50:57 Jacob!
00:50:59 Be sure that you do.
00:51:13 This came for you today.
00:51:17 Thank you.
00:51:20 It's... It's not
00:51:32 "All the wild summer
00:51:44 She's not gonna work
00:51:46 This is still so difficult,
00:51:52 What are you doing?
00:51:53 It's the Alis.
00:51:54 They've come
00:51:58 Even my mother must realise
00:52:04 Won't you have some tea?
00:52:06 Send that girl to me
00:52:09 Who? Amina?
00:52:10 Of course.
00:52:11 She needs discipline now.
00:52:14 Send me the doctor.
00:52:16 I'm dying.
00:52:18 She'll be fine.
00:52:20 Ma', just...
00:52:25 Just take her some tea.
00:52:27 But she's dying.
00:52:28 She's been claiming
00:52:31 Please, just...
00:52:53 Ma'!
00:52:55 Dinner is ready!
00:53:03 Ma', your tea
00:53:10 I don't have time to go driving
00:53:13 for some old woman
00:53:16 That family don't mix
00:53:18 Yet, when it suits them, they expect
00:53:20 They don't expect it.
00:53:21 I don't owe
00:53:23 Yes, you do.
00:53:25 Amina Harjan
00:53:29 After Farah betrayed her.
00:54:18 Auntie, is Amina here?
00:54:20 I'd like to offer
00:54:24 - She's in the next room.
00:54:27 Please see
00:54:52 I'm reading your book.
00:54:54 I'd forgotten I even
00:54:56 I didn't know
00:54:58 I don't.
00:55:01 The murderess?!
00:55:03 Apparently my work
00:55:05 caused the heart attack.
00:55:12 I can't tell whether you approve
00:55:21 They're nice.
00:55:24 It's a nice outfit.
00:55:27 I mean that
00:55:31 So you prefer me
00:55:33 No...
00:55:35 You look very nice in this.
00:55:37 But you don't look
00:55:41 I don't feel like myself!
00:55:45 But I have to
00:55:47 God rest her soul, is not
00:55:55 It sounds silly
00:55:58 It is silly.
00:56:00 But no one else
00:56:06 Does it matter
00:56:10 Doesn't it?
00:56:12 Why did you get married?
00:56:15 Did you fall in love and
00:56:15 know you wanted to be with him
00:56:18 for the rest of your life?
00:56:20 No.
00:56:23 He saw me a few times and...
00:56:26 proposed and...
00:56:28 my family accepted.
00:56:30 And that's what you want
00:56:32 That it never occured
00:56:35 It occurs to me
00:56:37 I know.
00:56:44 What happened to your face?
00:56:47 Nothing.
00:56:55 Your mother wants
00:56:58 My husband wants
00:57:00 To thank you.
00:57:01 For what?
00:57:02 For Rehmat.
00:57:04 Anyone would've done
00:57:06 I didn't.
00:57:08 Did they hurt you?
00:57:11 The police?
00:57:13 They were taking
00:57:16 Then you did the right thing.
00:57:20 Come.
00:57:23 I want to change back
00:57:40 Why should you take that risk?
00:57:43 Because I hate apartheid.
00:57:46 Because I hate aggressive policemen.
00:57:49 I wish I could be
00:58:03 Be careful what
00:58:07 ...Miriam.
00:58:22 Jacob?
00:58:23 I have an idea.
00:58:25 You haven't had a bad one yet.
00:58:27 What is it?
00:58:30 Indian food.
00:58:31 All sorts of things:
00:58:36 OK...
00:58:38 But you know
00:58:39 the first thing about
00:58:43 So who's gonna
00:58:45 Don't worry.
00:58:47 I've already thought of that.
00:59:19 Where you just passing through?
00:59:22 No offence to you... there down...
00:59:25 It's OK...
00:59:26 ...but I don't think anybody
00:59:29 I came to see you.
00:59:31 Will you have some tea?
00:59:34 I want to talk to you.
00:59:36 About the café.
00:59:38 We're thinking about something
00:59:40 Maybe a few days a week.
00:59:41 It's a good idea.
00:59:45 I want you to cook
00:59:47 Me?
00:59:52 You haven't even
00:59:54 I ate here,
00:59:56 Potato curry and daal.
01:00:04 Besides, I couldn't do it.
01:00:07 Why not?
01:00:08 Because I have to
01:00:13 We'd pay you well.
01:00:17 My children.
01:00:18 OK, then we'll make it one morning
01:00:26 My husband wouldn't like it.
01:00:27 I'm offering the job to you,
01:00:33 You surprise me.
01:00:36 I thought you had
01:00:41 How would you know whether
01:00:47 Wasn't it you who went out
01:00:49 to help an African
01:00:54 How could you know?
01:00:56 There were only two people:
01:01:01 Three.
01:01:03 I know this government
01:01:05 they're savages,
01:01:07 but Africans can speak
01:01:24 Has it been busy?
01:01:25 No.
01:01:27 I came to see if Miriam
01:01:32 What did you say?
01:01:34 I said that I have to
01:01:39 My wife doesn't need to work.
01:01:42 Look, I'm sorry it's not a
01:01:44 No!
01:01:48 My wife doesn't know
01:01:50 I've told her time and again
01:01:53 but she doesn't want to.
01:01:54 If only she had...
01:01:56 Oh, but I teach
01:01:59 Miriam, if you want me to come
01:02:03 I'd be happy to come teach you.
01:02:05 Thank you. Yes, I'd like that.
01:02:08 My husband has been telling
01:02:12 how to drive for some time now.
01:02:15 Good, then it's settled.
01:02:19 I'll see you next week.
01:02:39 Why did you do that?
01:02:40 You know eggs are expensive.
01:02:41 You have a long day
01:02:46 I may be staying the night.
01:03:03 You're early...
01:03:07 Very early.
01:03:10 What happened?
01:03:12 The market's closed.
01:03:14 Closed?
01:03:15 Why closed?
01:03:17 Day of action
01:03:20 Bloody blacks.
01:04:31 Farah? Farah?
01:04:34 Bhai,
01:04:37 My God!
01:04:38 Bhai...
01:04:41 Were you just going to
01:04:43 How good to see you!
01:04:45 How did you know
01:04:48 I... I've finished
01:04:50 So I thought I'd stop in
01:04:54 I also finished early today...
01:04:55 The demonstration...
01:05:00 Family OK?
01:05:17 Are you ready for me?
01:05:19 Who else is going to
01:05:57 OK, let's start
01:06:00 This is
01:06:03 and this is the...
01:06:05 - Right, and this is the...
01:06:09 Do you know
01:06:10 No. Why would I ask for lessons
01:06:13 I don't know.
01:06:14 Maybe you wanted to see me.
01:06:20 I don't know how to drive.
01:06:22 But my husband
01:06:25 once when he tried
01:06:28 There's only three,
01:06:33 Do you know
01:06:38 No.
01:06:40 I'll show you.
01:06:48 Is madam inside?
01:06:49 No, she's in the
01:06:53 There you are. See?
01:07:33 Did he see us?
01:07:34 No.
01:07:37 We were having
01:07:39 I'm not finished yet.
01:07:42 Get out of the truck.
01:07:48 Miriam, we'll finish
01:07:57 How was your day?
01:07:59 What?
01:08:00 How was your day?
01:08:01 Not good.
01:08:03 Sorry to hear that.
01:08:04 But things could get better.
01:08:20 I want to talk to you.
01:08:24 Where's Robert?
01:08:25 Inside probably.
01:08:27 I was angry
01:08:30 Why are you angry
01:08:33 I should be angry with you.
01:08:40 It's finished.
01:08:43 I won't be seeing her anymore.
01:08:47 Why did you do it, Omar?
01:08:52 I don't know.
01:08:57 There's mummy!
01:08:59 I'll race you!
01:09:02 You hurt me.
01:09:04 Mummy, mummy!
01:09:08 Come, come, come!
01:09:10 Go, go, go, go, go!
01:09:18 "It won't be a stylish marriage,
01:09:24 I've asked Madeline
01:09:28 She accepted.
01:09:32 Do you know
01:09:33 I believe I do, yes.
01:09:35 Where will you take her
01:09:40 I'm not fit to take her anywhere,
01:09:43 Only good enough to serve
01:09:46 but not to sit
01:09:52 You could bring her here.
01:09:56 I'll think of something.
01:10:01 I have lived my entire life
01:10:06 I do not want to end my life
01:10:11 I know.
01:10:13 I know but
01:10:15 lately I've been wondering
01:10:18 going after certain people....
01:10:21 ...no matter how strongly
01:10:23 You more than anyone
01:10:26 has taught me
01:10:30 Don't start
01:10:51 Hello.
01:10:54 Hello, Robert.
01:10:55 Miss.
01:10:56 Are you ready?
01:11:11 Robert?
01:11:14 Take care of the shop please.
01:11:28 You didn't come to give me
01:11:33 did you?
01:11:38 Why did you come?
01:11:52 I can't.
01:11:56 I'm married.
01:11:59 And you're a woman.
01:12:01 Those are not good reasons.
01:12:05 They are my reasons and
01:12:11 Don't you care for me?
01:12:21 Of course I care for you.
01:12:24 Amina, please...
01:12:25 Miriam.
01:12:28 What am I doing to you?
01:12:34 What am I doing to you?
01:12:38 Every time I look at you
01:12:42 I want you to stay...
01:12:46 ...forever.
01:13:05 Will you do something for me?
01:13:09 Close your eyes.
01:13:13 You can trust me.
01:13:17 I'm not afraid of you.
01:13:27 Will you just imagine,
01:13:28 just for now,
01:13:32 just for
01:13:37 that nothing exists
01:13:41 except for you and me?
01:14:12 You need to go to her.
01:14:16 No.
01:14:22 What happens now?
01:14:27 Do these driving lessons
01:14:37 Come away with me!
01:14:39 I have three children,
01:14:42 I would never ask you
01:14:45 We could...
01:14:47 We could move.
01:14:49 We could move away from him, Miriam,
01:14:53 Amina, please...
01:14:56 Miriam, I know...
01:14:58 I know that you think I don't know
01:15:01 but I've lived this way, Miriam,
01:15:04 and it can be done!
01:15:06 - Amina!
01:15:07 Amina...
01:15:11 Not for me.
01:16:24 Ah, Jacob!
01:16:26 Do you need a hand?
01:16:28 If you wouldn't mind. I'm
01:16:30 Here, let me do it.

01:16:37 Hello?
01:16:38 Police here, ma'am.
01:16:40 Post-mistress here, sir.
01:16:42 Are you alright?

01:16:46 Oh, I'm fine, thank you.
01:16:48 Sorry to trouble you.
01:16:50 No trouble.
01:16:55 Who's there?
01:16:59 This is Jacob.
01:17:00 The section where you are standing
01:17:03 He was just helping me lock up.
01:17:04 He shouldn't be there.
01:17:06 Who is he anyway?
01:17:08 He's my driver.
01:17:19 Why doesn't your driver
01:17:21 Coz I prefer
01:17:23 Yeah, I know what you mean...
01:17:25 Better to be safe than sorry.
01:17:26 Quite...
01:17:56 I thought I told you
01:18:01 Yes, but that was when you
01:18:07 Dad...
01:18:09 I'm sorry,
01:18:12 You come! I thought that you were
01:18:17 Just me.
01:18:25 Can I get you something to eat?
01:18:27 Some tea?
01:18:29 No, no, I'm fine.
01:18:32 No, we just... we haven't heard
01:18:37 so your mother's worried
01:18:40 to see you're OK.
01:18:44 I'm fine.
01:18:46 Good.
01:18:51 Things have been...
01:18:56 It's hard to explain.
01:18:57 No need.
01:19:00 You see, people like to make sure
01:19:02 know everything that is
01:19:06 They wouldn't like us
01:19:11 Only this time people are...
01:19:15 Amina, people are talking
01:19:20 They know her as well.
01:19:21 They have no right.
01:19:23 It's only because she's friends with me
01:19:28 Don't people have
01:19:30 No, they don't.
01:19:33 That's why I try
01:20:02 Jacob,
01:20:04 I'm so terribly sorry about
01:20:08 I'm ashamed to say that I was
01:20:10 and what he might do to you
01:20:13 It's alright.
01:20:15 Probably they'd thrown me
01:20:18 Jacob, come inside.
01:20:20 I'll make us some supper.
01:20:23 I can't.
01:20:28 I hope you understand.
01:20:32 Yes, I understand.
01:20:37 I am sorry.
01:20:41 - I-I-I want to drive you home.
01:20:49 Goodbye, Madeline.
01:20:57 Goodbye, Jacob.
01:21:00 Goodbye.
01:21:21 So, you're running away?
01:21:22 No, I just need some time, I just need
01:21:32 Do you need money?
01:21:33 No.
01:21:35 Thank you.
01:21:42 You shouldn't go.
01:21:47 How will she know
01:22:02 What a day!
01:22:08 Did you have
01:22:11 No.
01:22:14 Good.
01:22:16 That's over then.
01:22:17 No.
01:22:19 I have to learn how to drive
01:22:23 You work here.
01:22:26 And I will still work here.
01:22:29 And I will work at the cafe
01:22:35 You don't need to work.
01:22:38 I do.
01:22:40 It's just for two mornings,
01:22:43 You will not be my wife
01:22:46 Do you wanna divorce me?
01:22:49 What about the children?
01:22:52 What is it, Omar?
01:22:54 Tell me
01:23:03 Mummy!
01:23:07 It's OK.
01:23:10 It's alright, my love. Everything's OK.
01:23:15 It's alright.
01:23:32 I don't like it.
01:23:36 If I don't like it,
01:23:41 It's not enough.
01:23:44 It never has been.
01:23:48 I just didn't know
01:23:55 No!
01:23:57 You'll have to find a better way
01:24:11 Not again!
01:24:33 I may still need some lessons.
01:24:39 You drove all the way
01:24:42 Do you still have
01:24:47 Two days a week?
01:24:59 If it works out,
01:25:14 Come on then.
01:25:19 I'm Miriam.
