FOUR DAUGHTERS

4
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:06,191
<i>In this film,</i>

5
00:01:06,358 --> 00:01:09,361
<i>I will try to tell
the story of Olfa's daughters.</i>

6
00:01:12,114 --> 00:01:13,991
<i>Olfa has four daughters.</i>

7
00:01:16,243 --> 00:01:20,747
<i>The two youngest, Eya and Tayssir,
still live with her.</i>

8
00:01:33,302 --> 00:01:34,886
<i>The two eldest,</i>

9
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:38,682
<i>Rahma and Ghofrane,</i>

10
00:01:41,393 --> 00:01:43,103
<i>were devoured by the wolf.</i>

11
00:01:58,243 --> 00:01:59,786
Where is Olfa?

12
00:02:00,162 --> 00:02:01,204
Is she here?

13
00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:02,998
She's on her way.

14
00:02:06,668 --> 00:02:07,836
I'm so stressed!

15
00:02:12,215 --> 00:02:15,427
It's like I'm shooting my first film.
I can't explain it.

16
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,516
Is she stressed
about meeting me too?

17
00:02:22,142 --> 00:02:23,644
Did she say anything to you?

18
00:02:24,770 --> 00:02:28,899
She wants to see the actors
who will play her two eldest girls.

19
00:02:30,651 --> 00:02:31,860
More than me?

20
00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:34,738
That's weird.

21
00:02:37,282 --> 00:02:38,408
Very well.

22
00:02:39,326 --> 00:02:41,453
So I'm worrying more than her.

23
00:02:51,672 --> 00:02:52,673
As I understand it,

24
00:02:52,839 --> 00:02:56,593
I am like the character of Rose,
in <i>Titanic.</i>

25
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,637
She tells her story,

26
00:02:58,804 --> 00:03:03,475
and then actors interpret this story.

27
00:03:03,809 --> 00:03:04,976
So I am Rose!

28
00:03:05,435 --> 00:03:07,145
But in <i>Four Daughters.</i>

29
00:03:08,855 --> 00:03:11,566
That's not exactly what will happen.

30
00:03:11,733 --> 00:03:14,736
You, Eya and Tayssir
will act in the film.

31
00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:17,030
But there will also be an actor,

32
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:20,826
who will play your character
when the scenes are too upsetting.

33
00:03:44,850 --> 00:03:49,980
You will have to feel
everything that I felt,

34
00:03:50,147 --> 00:03:52,315
that I went through
with my two eldest girls.

35
00:03:52,482 --> 00:03:56,862
The suffering that I endured.
The pain of separation.

36
00:03:57,237 --> 00:04:02,617
The anguish of waking up
with the memory of their disappearance.

37
00:04:02,784 --> 00:04:07,038
And that could drive you crazy.

38
00:04:07,205 --> 00:04:11,960
You know, as actors,
we learn how to keep a certain distance.

39
00:04:12,335 --> 00:04:17,132
Becoming totally involved in a story,

40
00:04:17,299 --> 00:04:20,385
immersing yourself
in an unknown reality,

41
00:04:22,429 --> 00:04:25,807
can be very unsettling.

42
00:04:25,974 --> 00:04:28,059
And it's true that it can hurt you,

43
00:04:28,226 --> 00:04:30,228
so I have learned to protect myself.

44
00:04:30,395 --> 00:04:32,397
And what if you can't?

45
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,109
If you can't get the character
out of your head?

46
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:39,237
If they unnerve you,
because they seem too real?

47
00:04:39,404 --> 00:04:42,282
Kaouther isn't going
to invent anything in this story,

48
00:04:42,449 --> 00:04:44,201
it is all true.

49
00:04:44,367 --> 00:04:46,036
And that could disturb you.

50
00:04:46,203 --> 00:04:47,537
Yes, I have to protect myself.

51
00:04:49,164 --> 00:04:50,582
Eya and Tayssir,

52
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:54,628
you will also play yourselves.

53
00:04:56,171 --> 00:04:58,173
I will introduce you

54
00:04:58,340 --> 00:05:01,468
to the two actors
who will play your older sisters,

55
00:05:01,635 --> 00:05:03,094
Rahma and Ghofrane.

56
00:05:48,139 --> 00:05:50,267
- Hello.
- Hello.

57
00:05:55,856 --> 00:05:57,691
I recognize Ghofrane.

58
00:05:59,150 --> 00:06:01,611
She is Ghofrane.
And that's Rahma.

59
00:06:03,071 --> 00:06:04,030
Is that right?

60
00:06:04,197 --> 00:06:05,740
How did you guess?

61
00:06:05,907 --> 00:06:08,034
Ghofrane... I will tell you.

62
00:06:08,535 --> 00:06:11,913
Ghofrane has curly hair,
and she is slim too.

63
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,708
And also,
she exudes femininity, like you.

64
00:06:14,875 --> 00:06:18,003
And you look like Rahma.
And me.

65
00:06:24,718 --> 00:06:26,136
For me, as their mother,

66
00:06:26,303 --> 00:06:28,930
nobody can replace Rahma and Ghofrane.

67
00:06:29,097 --> 00:06:31,516
- You think we're going to replace them?
- Never!

68
00:06:31,683 --> 00:06:35,353
- She looks like Ghofrane.
- She does. There's something.

69
00:06:35,645 --> 00:06:37,105
She has the same smile.

70
00:06:37,272 --> 00:06:40,567
The resemblance is striking
on that last photo of her.

71
00:06:40,734 --> 00:06:43,236
I imagine that Kaouther had this photo.

72
00:06:43,653 --> 00:06:45,363
She chose you well.

73
00:06:47,866 --> 00:06:49,868
Above all,
it's a question of character.

74
00:06:50,035 --> 00:06:51,995
Very feminine.

75
00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:54,748
Ghofrane is calmer, right?

76
00:06:56,041 --> 00:06:58,710
Ghofrane takes me in her arms,
Rahma doesn't.

77
00:06:59,461 --> 00:07:01,630
Ghofrane sits next to me,
Rahma doesn't!

78
00:07:01,796 --> 00:07:04,257
Come and sit next to your mother!

79
00:07:25,070 --> 00:07:27,697
That is what will be painful
about this film.

80
00:07:31,034 --> 00:07:33,370
We are going to relive it all.

81
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:36,081
It's going to reopen the wounds.

82
00:07:49,219 --> 00:07:50,679
It's not...

83
00:07:52,013 --> 00:07:54,224
I have never cried
over their disappearance.

84
00:07:55,976 --> 00:07:58,228
I didn't even say
their names anymore.

85
00:07:59,938 --> 00:08:02,983
I wasn't able to.

86
00:08:03,525 --> 00:08:05,360
Just saying "Rahma" and "Ghofrane",

87
00:08:05,527 --> 00:08:09,030
it reminds me of tragedy,
misery, extreme pain.

88
00:08:10,991 --> 00:08:13,243
- All good?
- Hello.

89
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:18,915
Kaouther told me
that Olfa found it hard

90
00:08:19,541 --> 00:08:21,876
to see "her daughters".

91
00:08:22,043 --> 00:08:25,088
She broke down.
She couldn't even speak.

92
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:29,300
So, I am going to take her place.

93
00:08:31,136 --> 00:08:33,221
- I am "Mom".
- Nice to meet you.

94
00:08:34,848 --> 00:08:37,475
Who shall we start with?
Rahma or Ghofrane?

95
00:08:44,107 --> 00:08:47,068
- That's Rahma. How old was she there?
- Fifteen.

96
00:08:47,318 --> 00:08:49,404
Open it more.

97
00:08:49,571 --> 00:08:51,656
That's fine. It's fastened.

98
00:08:53,742 --> 00:08:56,786
- Did you often help your sisters?
- I used to wear one as well.

99
00:08:57,412 --> 00:08:58,997
- You wore the hijab?
- Yes.

100
00:08:59,164 --> 00:09:01,291
From what age did you wear it?

101
00:09:01,458 --> 00:09:04,210
When I was eight or nine, maybe.

102
00:09:12,218 --> 00:09:14,929
For Ghofrane,
it really is a great job.

103
00:09:15,638 --> 00:09:16,890
And Rahma, it's a fail?

104
00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:18,433
With you, it's your personality.

105
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,019
It's your character that is similar.

106
00:09:24,439 --> 00:09:26,733
You really remind me of them.

107
00:09:29,194 --> 00:09:33,031
They tried on the hijab,
they liked it and they kept it.

108
00:09:53,426 --> 00:09:55,095
<i>Like I told you,</i>

109
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:58,556
<i>my mother was a single mother,</i>

110
00:09:58,723 --> 00:10:00,683
<i>who was raising several daughters.</i>

111
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:02,727
<i>We were easy prey.</i>

112
00:10:03,561 --> 00:10:06,189
<i>In a world without mercy.</i>

113
00:10:06,481 --> 00:10:10,026
My mother only had daughters.
Our father left us.

114
00:10:10,193 --> 00:10:14,322
Often, men tried
to enter our home by force.

115
00:10:14,489 --> 00:10:17,617
They tried to break down the door!

116
00:10:17,784 --> 00:10:21,329
I was the only one
who was able to defend us.

117
00:10:21,496 --> 00:10:24,082
"I was the only one
who was able to defend us."

118
00:10:24,249 --> 00:10:27,001
"I was the only one
who was able to defend us."

119
00:10:27,669 --> 00:10:29,671
I was young at the time.

120
00:10:29,838 --> 00:10:32,340
I was just 13 or 14 years old.

121
00:10:33,842 --> 00:10:35,385
But I was brave.

122
00:10:35,552 --> 00:10:39,639
I was convinced that we had
to stand up for ourselves, you know?

123
00:10:39,806 --> 00:10:40,890
"You know?"

124
00:10:41,474 --> 00:10:43,017
"But I was brave.

125
00:10:43,184 --> 00:10:46,312
I was convinced
that we had to stand up for ourselves."

126
00:10:46,479 --> 00:10:49,440
<i>I started to do weight training.</i>

127
00:10:50,358 --> 00:10:54,737
I did weight training,
I cut my hair like a boy,

128
00:10:54,904 --> 00:10:56,948
I dressed like a guy...

129
00:10:57,657 --> 00:11:01,744
I became a man,
to protect my mother.

130
00:11:02,579 --> 00:11:07,292
<i>I hit anyone who attacked us.
All of them.</i>

131
00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:09,335
<i>I gave them all a beating!</i>

132
00:11:09,502 --> 00:11:11,337
"I hit anyone who attacked us.

133
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:14,174
I gave them all a beating!"

134
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:37,405
<i>I behaved like a guy.</i>

135
00:11:37,572 --> 00:11:39,032
<i>I had turned into a guy.</i>

136
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:43,077
<i>Then a man came into my life,
and he broke me.</i>

137
00:11:50,418 --> 00:11:52,837
<i>On my wedding night...</i>

138
00:11:53,254 --> 00:11:57,800
<i>You know this kind of people.
You know what they expect.</i>

139
00:12:14,525 --> 00:12:17,111
Gently, Abderahmane,
I'm not going to take off.

140
00:12:17,278 --> 00:12:20,031
Go gently, please.

141
00:12:20,531 --> 00:12:21,741
I'll show you gently!

142
00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:24,452
No, I didn't beg him.

143
00:12:24,619 --> 00:12:27,205
I was firm, I gave him orders.

144
00:12:27,789 --> 00:12:30,750
Now I remember, my sister came in.

145
00:12:30,917 --> 00:12:31,960
May she be cursed!

146
00:12:32,126 --> 00:12:34,462
She told him:
"Don't bother with the bed,

147
00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:38,633
throw her on the floor
and block her in the corner."

148
00:12:39,133 --> 00:12:42,470
And after that, she left the room.

149
00:12:42,637 --> 00:12:45,098
Show me,
as if you were your sister.

150
00:12:45,265 --> 00:12:46,015
Okay.

151
00:12:46,182 --> 00:12:48,309
How's it going, Abderahmane?
Are you done?

152
00:12:48,476 --> 00:12:50,853
This bitch,
she won't give herself to me.

153
00:12:51,646 --> 00:12:54,983
What's the matter with you, Olfa?
What is your problem?

154
00:12:55,233 --> 00:12:56,192
Go on, give yourself.

155
00:12:56,359 --> 00:12:58,945
Or confess, if you have a problem.

156
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:00,238
People are waiting.

157
00:13:00,405 --> 00:13:01,656
You want to cause a scene?

158
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:04,784
- Your sister really said that?
- Yes.

159
00:13:04,951 --> 00:13:08,288
- And after?
- He pushed me onto the bed.

160
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:11,874
Action!

161
00:13:12,750 --> 00:13:13,960
Get off me!

162
00:13:14,127 --> 00:13:15,169
Shut your mouth!

163
00:13:15,336 --> 00:13:16,546
- Stop that.
- Shut it.

164
00:13:16,713 --> 00:13:20,758
I swear
that you're not going to touch me.

165
00:13:20,925 --> 00:13:23,261
Get off me!

166
00:13:25,888 --> 00:13:29,600
And the people who are waiting outside?
You want to bring shame on us?

167
00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:32,145
You hear how he burps?

168
00:13:32,312 --> 00:13:35,356
So what?
It's not like you don't know him.

169
00:13:35,523 --> 00:13:36,899
Don't be a pain. Hurry up!

170
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:38,359
He hasn't even looked at me.

171
00:13:38,526 --> 00:13:41,529
You, listen to me.
My sister is a tough nut to crack.

172
00:13:41,696 --> 00:13:43,072
See that corner?

173
00:13:43,239 --> 00:13:45,366
Block her in there and do your business.

174
00:13:46,242 --> 00:13:47,660
You have no shame.

175
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:50,496
People are waiting, hurry up.

176
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:52,582
- There'll be no scenes tonight.
- Get out.

177
00:13:52,749 --> 00:13:54,584
- Are you not a virgin?
- I am!

178
00:13:54,751 --> 00:13:57,086
- If you aren't, say so.
- I am, don't worry.

179
00:13:57,253 --> 00:13:59,756
You're not here to have a good time.

180
00:13:59,922 --> 00:14:01,591
Bravo!

181
00:14:01,758 --> 00:14:02,633
Go on, leave us.

182
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,594
And you,
show her that you're a man.

183
00:14:04,761 --> 00:14:06,346
All right, get out of here.

184
00:14:06,512 --> 00:14:08,431
- And you, get up.
- I'm getting up.

185
00:14:08,598 --> 00:14:10,725
- Get in the corner.
- Okay, I'm going.

186
00:14:10,892 --> 00:14:12,935
I'm going to the corner.

187
00:14:13,311 --> 00:14:16,856
If you want to do it in the corner,
we'll go there.

188
00:14:17,273 --> 00:14:18,524
Go on, in the corner.

189
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:19,859
Get your hands off!

190
00:14:20,026 --> 00:14:22,653
- You coward!
- Dirty whore!

191
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:25,490
- Dirty little...
- I'm going to show you!

192
00:14:25,656 --> 00:14:27,700
You want to be a man?

193
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:30,328
- I'll teach you!
- Get off me, you bitch!

194
00:14:30,495 --> 00:14:32,121
I'll teach you what being a man is!

195
00:14:35,666 --> 00:14:37,168
There, are you happy?

196
00:14:43,383 --> 00:14:44,801
Go on, wipe yourself off!

197
00:14:44,967 --> 00:14:46,260
You can come in.

198
00:14:48,304 --> 00:14:49,389
Look.

199
00:14:52,892 --> 00:14:54,394
And she took out the sheet.

200
00:14:55,061 --> 00:14:58,940
- A sheet stained with his blood?
- Yes, it was his blood.

201
00:15:00,316 --> 00:15:05,071
Outside they began the party,
the ululations, the rifle shots...

202
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:08,491
They were rejoicing,
when he hadn't actually touched me.

203
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:19,043
<i>After we wed,</i>

204
00:15:19,210 --> 00:15:21,838
<i>my co-workers
would talk about their husbands.</i>

205
00:15:22,547 --> 00:15:25,341
<i>They would talk about
what they got up to together.</i>

206
00:15:25,508 --> 00:15:28,553
<i>I had nothing to tell.
I was a little jealous.</i>

207
00:15:39,063 --> 00:15:44,569
<i>When we watched a movie
with romantic scenes,</i>

208
00:15:44,902 --> 00:15:47,071
<i>I would say to him:
"Look, that's sweet."</i>

209
00:15:47,238 --> 00:15:50,992
<i>And he would insult the actress.</i>

210
00:15:51,492 --> 00:15:53,202
She's a slut, that actress.

211
00:15:55,329 --> 00:15:57,039
Hend Sabri, a slut?

212
00:15:57,206 --> 00:15:58,958
- A total slut.
- Oh really?

213
00:15:59,625 --> 00:16:01,836
<i>I love you so much,
I want to bite you.</i>

214
00:16:02,086 --> 00:16:04,255
I would like to be a slut too.

215
00:16:04,422 --> 00:16:05,423
Okay.

216
00:16:06,048 --> 00:16:07,091
Go ahead.

217
00:16:07,258 --> 00:16:08,718
I can't, by myself.

218
00:16:10,511 --> 00:16:12,263
We have to do it together.

219
00:16:18,686 --> 00:16:19,854
Sorry.

220
00:16:25,776 --> 00:16:26,777
It makes sense!

221
00:16:26,944 --> 00:16:28,738
- Being slutty on my own?
- I know...

222
00:16:28,905 --> 00:16:31,741
It's always the same.
It's never the men who are insulted.

223
00:16:31,908 --> 00:16:34,702
Fix your mustache.

224
00:16:36,579 --> 00:16:40,500
You, when you act out
this kind of sequence,

225
00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:41,792
no one insults you.

226
00:16:41,959 --> 00:16:44,462
Me, of course, I am a slut.

227
00:16:44,629 --> 00:16:45,546
It's true!

228
00:16:45,713 --> 00:16:48,049
In life like in the movies.

229
00:16:48,216 --> 00:16:49,383
Exactly.

230
00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:50,885
Damn it!

231
00:16:54,138 --> 00:16:56,224
What do you think?

232
00:16:59,685 --> 00:17:00,770
<i>Sometimes, I told him:</i>

233
00:17:00,937 --> 00:17:03,814
<i>"I'm going to teach you something.
Say: I love you."</i>

234
00:17:03,981 --> 00:17:05,650
Tell me: "I love you."

235
00:17:06,234 --> 00:17:09,445
I'd like to hear you say it.
It's a beautiful word.

236
00:17:11,489 --> 00:17:13,866
Making love, it's also about foreplay.

237
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:15,576
<i>Things to do and say.</i>

238
00:17:15,743 --> 00:17:16,744
Come on!

239
00:17:16,911 --> 00:17:21,040
<i>But it went over his head. In the end,
I banned him from coming near me.</i>

240
00:17:22,291 --> 00:17:26,128
You just slept together once a year,
to have a child?

241
00:17:26,295 --> 00:17:27,755
Yes, pretty much.

242
00:17:30,216 --> 00:17:33,970
Let me tell you
when we slept together.

243
00:17:34,929 --> 00:17:37,557
When I didn't have any money at all.

244
00:17:37,932 --> 00:17:43,312
If I saw that he had some money,
that he'd worked a bit,

245
00:17:43,479 --> 00:17:46,941
then I would yield to him.

246
00:17:47,608 --> 00:17:51,445
I said to myself
that I had really earned that money.

247
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:57,243
That was maybe the only reason
that we slept together.

248
00:18:35,323 --> 00:18:36,407
Ghofrane!

249
00:18:38,826 --> 00:18:40,036
Mom, Dad's here.

250
00:18:40,202 --> 00:18:41,954
Go back to sleep. Don't move.

251
00:18:48,753 --> 00:18:49,920
Ghofrane?

252
00:18:51,297 --> 00:18:52,548
Are you asleep, Ghofrane?

253
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:55,426
You ignore me, like your mother?

254
00:18:57,762 --> 00:18:59,096
Are you sleeping alone?

255
00:19:00,723 --> 00:19:02,058
She hasn't let anyone in?

256
00:19:02,224 --> 00:19:04,352
Stop, Dad. Are you not ashamed?

257
00:19:04,644 --> 00:19:06,854
How did he pronounce it?

258
00:19:07,021 --> 00:19:08,022
His accent?

259
00:19:08,189 --> 00:19:11,442
He said to her:
"Your mother sleeps all dolled up..."

260
00:19:11,609 --> 00:19:13,402
- "Sleeps" in which accent?
- "Sleeps".

261
00:19:13,569 --> 00:19:15,946
- Shall I show him, Tayssir?
- Yes, go on.

262
00:19:16,364 --> 00:19:17,698
He would say to her:

263
00:19:17,865 --> 00:19:19,742
"You explain to me then,

264
00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:24,246
this woman, asleep like that,
half naked,

265
00:19:24,413 --> 00:19:28,167
with her whole body offered up,
who is that for?

266
00:19:28,626 --> 00:19:31,545
It's not for me, in any case."

267
00:19:31,712 --> 00:19:33,172
A father, for me,

268
00:19:33,631 --> 00:19:35,132
is the man who...

269
00:19:35,883 --> 00:19:40,429
who contributes to our birth,
through sexual intercourse.

270
00:19:41,055 --> 00:19:43,140
Great, thanks very much.

271
00:19:43,307 --> 00:19:47,603
He would have done better
finding something else to do,

272
00:19:47,770 --> 00:19:49,605
instead of conceiving me.

273
00:19:49,772 --> 00:19:52,692
He would insult Mom,
he would wake us up.

274
00:19:52,858 --> 00:19:55,152
He would wake up Ghofrane to hit her.

275
00:19:55,695 --> 00:19:59,281
- Why her especially?
- Because she was the eldest.

276
00:19:59,448 --> 00:20:00,866
She protected us.

277
00:20:01,033 --> 00:20:03,661
And also, she was very close to Mom.

278
00:20:03,828 --> 00:20:06,247
- It was to hurt me?
- Exactly.

279
00:20:06,956 --> 00:20:08,290
"Oh, that shitty night..."

280
00:20:08,457 --> 00:20:09,917
That rotten night.

281
00:20:10,334 --> 00:20:12,878
Mom was saying bad words.

282
00:20:13,045 --> 00:20:16,674
Oh no, enough!
I've had enough of your swearing!

283
00:20:16,841 --> 00:20:19,593
I'm an actor.
I can inspire the same feelings,

284
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:20,636
without swearing.

285
00:20:20,803 --> 00:20:22,430
- No.
- What do you mean, no?

286
00:20:22,596 --> 00:20:25,766
In Tunisia,
when we argue we cuss.

287
00:20:25,933 --> 00:20:29,019
Especially at home.
This language is in our blood.

288
00:20:29,186 --> 00:20:31,522
I'm talking to you about the film.

289
00:20:31,689 --> 00:20:33,649
But it has to be realistic.

290
00:20:33,816 --> 00:20:37,737
As a viewer, I would find it strange
that we tell the whole story

291
00:20:37,903 --> 00:20:39,572
without a single swear word.

292
00:20:39,947 --> 00:20:43,868
The only words that he said
and which left a mark on my childhood,

293
00:20:44,034 --> 00:20:45,578
are cusses.

294
00:20:46,370 --> 00:20:49,749
"You're all like your mother."
"A bunch of... I don't know what."

295
00:20:49,915 --> 00:20:53,252
"If I catch you..."
"You will turn out bad."

296
00:20:54,086 --> 00:20:55,921
That's what their father said to them.

297
00:20:59,717 --> 00:21:02,762
You understand?
And I would say to them:

298
00:21:02,928 --> 00:21:05,097
"You hear what your father is saying?

299
00:21:05,264 --> 00:21:10,102
For him, there is no doubt
that you will end up as whores.

300
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:11,854
Don't let him be right!

301
00:21:12,021 --> 00:21:15,316
Tell him that you are Olfa's daughters.

302
00:21:15,483 --> 00:21:20,279
And that Olfa's daughters
are worthy of greatness."

303
00:21:28,662 --> 00:21:29,914
There it is!

304
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:34,710
The photo is really misleading.

305
00:21:34,877 --> 00:21:36,212
Ah, so you agree!

306
00:21:37,922 --> 00:21:40,800
- Yes, it lends to confusion.
- Thanks for confirming.

307
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:42,218
Magnificent!

308
00:21:44,053 --> 00:21:45,387
Here's the butt crack.

309
00:21:45,554 --> 00:21:47,765
I had gotten surgery on my leg.

310
00:21:47,932 --> 00:21:51,936
I took a photo thinking I was using
an x-ray application.

311
00:21:52,102 --> 00:21:54,855
I was young.
It was nothing more than a photo.

312
00:21:55,022 --> 00:21:58,400
Later on,
my mother found it on the cell phone,

313
00:21:58,859 --> 00:22:02,238
and she thought
that it was something else.

314
00:22:02,404 --> 00:22:04,615
- She saw a butt crack!
- Exactly.

315
00:22:04,782 --> 00:22:06,742
She asked who had taken the photo.

316
00:22:06,909 --> 00:22:10,996
Rahma and Ghofrane said
that it was me and Eya

317
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:12,957
who were playing with the phone.

318
00:22:13,791 --> 00:22:18,087
I said that I hadn't taken any photo.

319
00:22:18,254 --> 00:22:22,967
But Eya, she doesn't know
how to stand up for herself,

320
00:22:23,133 --> 00:22:25,177
so she always stays silent.

321
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:27,471
Everyone thought that it was her.

322
00:22:27,721 --> 00:22:30,432
All my girls, except Eya,
could speak up for themselves.

323
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:33,185
They accused her,
and she didn't deny it.

324
00:22:33,352 --> 00:22:35,771
I remember it as if it were yesterday.

325
00:22:35,938 --> 00:22:39,900
I gave her two dinars,
I packed her a bag

326
00:22:40,276 --> 00:22:41,944
and I put her outside in the rain.

327
00:22:42,111 --> 00:22:45,281
- How old were you?
- I was young. Eight.

328
00:22:45,447 --> 00:22:47,700
That is exactly how it happened.

329
00:22:47,867 --> 00:22:51,078
I was crying:
"Mom, I swear, it wasn't me!"

330
00:22:51,245 --> 00:22:53,747
She grabbed me by my sweater,
she pushed me,

331
00:22:53,914 --> 00:22:57,293
and then she threw a red bag at me.

332
00:22:57,459 --> 00:23:01,046
She flung it in my direction
and it hit me right in the head.

333
00:23:01,213 --> 00:23:04,049
And then she threw
the two dinars at me.

334
00:23:04,216 --> 00:23:06,927
I was begging her:
"I swear to you, it wasn't me."

335
00:23:07,094 --> 00:23:08,804
You just had to say:

336
00:23:08,971 --> 00:23:11,849
"It's nothing, Mom, it's just a leg."

337
00:23:12,975 --> 00:23:15,769
- I'd forgotten.
- And when she showed you the photo?

338
00:23:15,936 --> 00:23:21,567
When I saw the photo
I really thought it was "that" too.

339
00:23:21,734 --> 00:23:23,944
- Had you forgotten as well?
- She hadn't.

340
00:23:24,111 --> 00:23:25,487
No, I remembered.

341
00:23:25,654 --> 00:23:30,868
But I was scared that she would hit me
for having taken a photo of a leg.

342
00:23:31,327 --> 00:23:33,245
Even telling the truth scared me.

343
00:23:33,412 --> 00:23:37,124
I will have to be the one
to act out this scene.

344
00:23:37,291 --> 00:23:41,128
- I will hit both of them.
- Especially me.

345
00:23:41,295 --> 00:23:46,133
And as an actor, my work lies
in understanding your motivation.

346
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:51,805
To really understand
what made you snap.

347
00:23:52,473 --> 00:23:56,226
For you, everything that relates

348
00:23:56,393 --> 00:23:59,772
to the female body
is shameful and obscene.

349
00:23:59,939 --> 00:24:04,318
We have to hide our bodies
and cover them up.

350
00:24:05,486 --> 00:24:09,031
In my eyes,
my daughters had ventured

351
00:24:09,198 --> 00:24:10,950
into dangerous territory.

352
00:24:11,116 --> 00:24:14,203
What territory do you mean?
It's their body!

353
00:24:14,370 --> 00:24:15,245
Let me finish.

354
00:24:15,412 --> 00:24:19,917
For me, this photo,
it rang the alarm bells.

355
00:24:20,376 --> 00:24:23,504
Their minds had become impure.

356
00:24:23,671 --> 00:24:27,257
Today, it's just a photo.
Tomorrow they will be stripping,

357
00:24:27,424 --> 00:24:29,885
and then it will be sexual intercourse.

358
00:24:30,052 --> 00:24:32,513
We were 8 years old
and you thought that.

359
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,473
Yes, that's what I was afraid of.

360
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,433
- And they were 8 years old?
- Yes.

361
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,104
When she accused us,
I was eight and she was six.

362
00:24:40,646 --> 00:24:42,481
She was afraid that we would have sex.

363
00:24:42,648 --> 00:24:45,150
"Intercourse!"
Honestly, the idea of it.

364
00:24:45,317 --> 00:24:49,905
I asked myself these questions
for all four of my girls.

365
00:24:50,072 --> 00:24:53,158
You are obsessed by sin

366
00:24:53,325 --> 00:24:57,162
and God gave you four daughters,
to you, so full of fear!

367
00:24:57,329 --> 00:24:58,789
Can you imagine the hell?

368
00:24:58,956 --> 00:25:03,961
It's a tragedy. I hate girls.
I didn't want to have any daughters.

369
00:25:04,128 --> 00:25:08,757
What I understand, is that for you,
their bodies are dangerous.

370
00:25:08,924 --> 00:25:10,884
There's no doubt about it.

371
00:25:11,051 --> 00:25:13,595
The body, it's really
where the line is drawn.

372
00:25:13,762 --> 00:25:16,473
It is the private property
of one single person.

373
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:17,891
- The husband.
- Yes.

374
00:25:18,058 --> 00:25:21,103
But why do you think
that their bodies

375
00:25:21,270 --> 00:25:25,232
are the property of a guy
that they haven't even met yet?

376
00:25:25,399 --> 00:25:28,444
Even my husband
doesn't have the right to own my body.

377
00:25:28,610 --> 00:25:31,905
Where does this attitude
of yours come from?

378
00:25:32,072 --> 00:25:37,286
- Talking about your body like that...
- My body belongs to me alone.

379
00:25:41,874 --> 00:25:44,168
The warm up.
They're going to play soccer.

380
00:25:53,969 --> 00:25:55,387
They are mutants!

381
00:25:55,554 --> 00:25:58,098
- Come on, do the same.
- There's no way!

382
00:26:05,606 --> 00:26:07,524
God deliver us!

383
00:26:38,722 --> 00:26:41,391
Now, we're going to have a good laugh.

384
00:26:41,558 --> 00:26:45,854
We let everything out,
so we can better concentrate afterwards.

385
00:27:18,929 --> 00:27:21,765
- What would you like to eat?
- Some nice spicy chicken.

386
00:27:22,516 --> 00:27:23,976
Some nice spicy chicken?

387
00:27:24,393 --> 00:27:26,895
- I will see to that. And you?
- Cannelloni.

388
00:27:27,396 --> 00:27:29,982
Cannelloni? That's so nice!

389
00:27:30,149 --> 00:27:31,984
- And you?
- Anything.

390
00:27:32,151 --> 00:27:35,279
Come on, Ghofrane, play the game!

391
00:27:40,701 --> 00:27:42,786
Mamma mia, it's so good!

392
00:27:43,245 --> 00:27:44,872
Can you smell how spicy it is?

393
00:27:49,668 --> 00:27:55,382
They played this game
when we had nothing to eat.

394
00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:57,718
Ghofrane was the most difficult.

395
00:27:57,885 --> 00:27:59,636
She didn't say yes to anything,

396
00:27:59,803 --> 00:28:01,388
she didn't like anything.

397
00:28:02,264 --> 00:28:04,683
Rahma, she loved everything.
A real peasant!

398
00:28:05,642 --> 00:28:08,770
She did this role play
with empty dishes,

399
00:28:08,937 --> 00:28:11,982
or with leftovers
that they didn't want.

400
00:28:12,149 --> 00:28:14,484
They dreamed of tasty meals.

401
00:28:14,651 --> 00:28:18,447
It kept them entertained
and they forgot.

402
00:28:18,614 --> 00:28:21,700
I joined in with them.
We had a lot of fun.

403
00:28:21,867 --> 00:28:25,913
It wasn't only
what they've just been playing.

404
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:30,000
Actually, it was more spontaneous,
it ended in a good laugh.

405
00:28:30,167 --> 00:28:32,377
We danced, we sang.

406
00:28:32,544 --> 00:28:36,089
It's among our happiest memories.

407
00:28:36,757 --> 00:28:41,595
Girls, do you have
the same memories of that?

408
00:28:42,137 --> 00:28:45,224
At that time, just playing this game

409
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:48,435
allowed us to feel like

410
00:28:48,602 --> 00:28:51,688
we had access to the things

411
00:28:51,855 --> 00:28:54,024
that we were deprived of.

412
00:28:54,524 --> 00:28:59,321
All these things
that we only saw on TV.

413
00:28:59,488 --> 00:29:00,906
Rahma was always behind it.

414
00:29:01,073 --> 00:29:03,116
These festive moments were her doing.

415
00:29:03,742 --> 00:29:05,118
Just like the dramas.

416
00:29:05,285 --> 00:29:07,955
Her parties always turned into a drama.

417
00:29:08,121 --> 00:29:10,415
Like on Mom's birthday.

418
00:29:10,582 --> 00:29:12,334
- What do you mean?
- She had prepared

419
00:29:12,501 --> 00:29:15,087
little bits of paper to throw at her.

420
00:29:15,254 --> 00:29:16,755
- Confetti?
- Yes.

421
00:29:16,922 --> 00:29:22,135
She had put them in a candy box,
above the door.

422
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:30,936
She beat her black and blue.
Poor thing, she had prepared everything.

423
00:29:31,103 --> 00:29:32,854
Rahma doesn't fit her name:
"clemency"!

424
00:29:33,021 --> 00:29:36,775
I nicknamed her "the curse",
instead of "clemency".

425
00:29:36,942 --> 00:29:38,902
- That's so mean!
- You see?

426
00:29:39,611 --> 00:29:42,364
- Want to hear what she's called me?
- Go on!

427
00:29:43,323 --> 00:29:46,159
I'll make you a list, with a tune.

428
00:29:46,451 --> 00:29:47,577
There once was a...

429
00:29:47,744 --> 00:29:49,538
"You bastard!"

430
00:29:49,705 --> 00:29:52,541
"I wish you were a ball
being kicked about by boys!"

431
00:29:52,708 --> 00:29:55,252
"I dream of seeing your blood
spilled across the sidewalk!"

432
00:29:55,419 --> 00:29:58,046
"I want to watch the news
and find out you've died!"

433
00:29:59,256 --> 00:30:01,508
"A tramp who wants
to go out with guys!"

434
00:30:01,675 --> 00:30:06,596
"You go out and you make out!
You think I didn't know about it?"

435
00:30:06,763 --> 00:30:07,973
Here comes a swear word.

436
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:10,976
"You've still got shit on your ass
and you want to get guys?"

437
00:30:15,564 --> 00:30:17,941
It hurt me, but I didn't show it.

438
00:30:18,108 --> 00:30:19,484
I answered her like this.

439
00:30:19,901 --> 00:30:23,822
But inside, I was enraged.

440
00:30:23,989 --> 00:30:27,576
If I could have... I'm sorry,
but I wanted to strangle her.

441
00:30:27,743 --> 00:30:32,706
I swear, these killer lines,
they cut me deep.

442
00:30:33,415 --> 00:30:35,042
This film lets me speak out.

443
00:30:35,208 --> 00:30:37,044
So you want to strangle me?

444
00:30:38,628 --> 00:30:41,715
After the film, she'll make me feel bad.

445
00:30:41,882 --> 00:30:44,051
- Of course!
- She'll bring it up again.

446
00:30:44,217 --> 00:30:45,844
I haven't finished.

447
00:30:46,011 --> 00:30:48,764
I want to strangle her and say:
"I'm not like that!"

448
00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:50,557
Come on, try it!

449
00:30:50,724 --> 00:30:53,769
That's all you've heard,
"strangle me"!

450
00:30:53,935 --> 00:30:57,189
You haven't understood
how much it hurts her?

451
00:30:57,356 --> 00:30:58,857
You are selfish, Olfa.

452
00:30:59,024 --> 00:31:01,860
It hurts her?
I understand, but that's how it is.

453
00:31:02,027 --> 00:31:05,405
It's the legacy
of several generations, a heritage.

454
00:31:06,156 --> 00:31:07,366
Period.

455
00:31:28,303 --> 00:31:30,806
How long were they majorettes for?

456
00:31:31,306 --> 00:31:32,682
About four years.

457
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:37,062
Or three...
Yes, it was a few years.

458
00:31:37,229 --> 00:31:38,772
The weekends, vacations...

459
00:31:38,939 --> 00:31:40,649
What age did they start?

460
00:31:41,358 --> 00:31:45,028
They hadn't started high school.
It was in elementary school.

461
00:31:45,195 --> 00:31:47,739
Eya and Tayssir hadn't...

462
00:31:48,365 --> 00:31:51,368
They hadn't started school yet.

463
00:31:57,999 --> 00:32:00,001
Everything changed after he fell.

464
00:32:00,168 --> 00:32:02,295
- "God is one."
- Exactly.

465
00:32:02,462 --> 00:32:03,922
"And Ben Ali is unequaled!"

466
00:32:04,923 --> 00:32:09,302
I don't care about Ben Ali.
I was talking about his time.

467
00:32:09,469 --> 00:32:14,766
It's true that times were tough.
Of course, I'm speaking for me.

468
00:32:15,142 --> 00:32:17,727
But at least, we were all together.

469
00:32:18,145 --> 00:32:20,230
The revolution
didn't steal your daughters.

470
00:32:20,397 --> 00:32:23,775
They were daughters of Ben Ali.
Good girls.

471
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:25,193
Ben Ali's daughters?

472
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,072
Yes, Ben Ali's children.
They were good girls.

473
00:32:29,239 --> 00:32:31,741
Look what happened after he left!

474
00:32:31,908 --> 00:32:34,327
The problem,
it's those who governed after him.

475
00:32:34,494 --> 00:32:37,956
I know that. That's what I'm saying.

476
00:32:38,165 --> 00:32:39,040
Hello.

477
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,334
You are stunning.

478
00:32:41,835 --> 00:32:42,961
Thank you.

479
00:32:45,672 --> 00:32:47,466
And here is the boss.

480
00:32:47,632 --> 00:32:51,428
We're looking at videos
from 11 years ago. Eya was this high.

481
00:32:51,595 --> 00:32:53,513
Yes, I remember.

482
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,183
I was about as tall as my jacket.

483
00:32:56,349 --> 00:32:58,560
They were this high.
Her and Tayssir.

484
00:33:03,315 --> 00:33:08,403
<i>Thanks to security, humans rise up</i>

485
00:33:14,701 --> 00:33:17,204
<i>Security makes the children happy</i>

486
00:33:17,370 --> 00:33:20,081
<i>The young and not so young</i>

487
00:33:25,629 --> 00:33:27,923
<i>The happiness of our mothers</i>

488
00:33:28,089 --> 00:33:29,799
<i>And our beloved homeland</i>

489
00:33:35,180 --> 00:33:36,932
<i>In the name of God,</i>

490
00:33:37,933 --> 00:33:39,726
<i>dear people of Tunisia,</i>

491
00:33:40,810 --> 00:33:42,395
<i>I stand before you,</i>

492
00:33:43,813 --> 00:33:45,815
<i>before all of you,</i>

493
00:33:46,775 --> 00:33:48,610
<i>in Tunisia and abroad...</i>

494
00:33:49,027 --> 00:33:50,237
<i>Beat it!</i>

495
00:33:56,993 --> 00:33:59,287
Freedom!

496
00:34:03,542 --> 00:34:07,170
That day, I was cleaning
in this lady's house.

497
00:34:08,004 --> 00:34:12,676
I was all alone,
and I was thinking as I cleaned.

498
00:34:17,973 --> 00:34:21,268
<i>When I take a decision,
I talk to myself.</i>

499
00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:24,396
<i>"I don't want this anymore.</i>

500
00:34:24,938 --> 00:34:28,400
The people who are leading
this revolution are no better than me.

501
00:34:28,567 --> 00:34:31,194
I can revolutionize my life as well."

502
00:34:31,361 --> 00:34:33,780
<i>I was waiting
until my children were older.</i>

503
00:34:33,947 --> 00:34:35,699
Why? For my daughters?

504
00:34:35,865 --> 00:34:37,701
They will be better off without him.

505
00:34:38,243 --> 00:34:40,287
They never see him in any case.

506
00:34:40,662 --> 00:34:42,831
He doesn't give them affection
or money.

507
00:34:42,998 --> 00:34:46,585
He never does anything with them.
He never takes them to school.

508
00:34:48,461 --> 00:34:51,256
"He has stolen your youth,
why do you put up with him?

509
00:34:51,923 --> 00:34:54,301
<i>You can have a new life."</i>

510
00:34:56,886 --> 00:34:59,514
And like that, we went to stay
with my sister.

511
00:35:00,098 --> 00:35:03,059
She was surprised.
I said to her: "That's it.

512
00:35:03,518 --> 00:35:07,689
Tunisia has had its revolution.
Now I'm having mine."

513
00:35:09,024 --> 00:35:12,068
I had only just arrived,
that same day,

514
00:35:12,235 --> 00:35:15,071
when my affair with Wissem began.

515
00:35:22,370 --> 00:35:24,164
<i>Hi, Mohammed.</i>

516
00:35:24,581 --> 00:35:26,916
There's no Mohammed here.

517
00:35:28,501 --> 00:35:29,753
Oh really?

518
00:35:30,795 --> 00:35:33,173
Sorry, wrong number.

519
00:35:33,590 --> 00:35:38,136
<i>At that time,
cell phones were a novelty.</i>

520
00:35:38,678 --> 00:35:42,932
<i>With my daughters, we had fun
calling numbers at random.</i>

521
00:35:49,439 --> 00:35:52,651
You've got me in trouble with my wife.
Who are you?

522
00:35:54,778 --> 00:35:55,820
Your wife?

523
00:35:55,987 --> 00:35:58,031
Put her on, I will apologize.

524
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:01,951
It's fine, there is no wife.

525
00:36:03,078 --> 00:36:04,496
But who are you?

526
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,748
<i>He totally cast a spell on me.</i>

527
00:36:07,457 --> 00:36:12,462
<i>He unlocked the woman,
the teenager inside me.</i>

528
00:36:13,963 --> 00:36:18,885
<i>I became debauched,
rebellious, adolescent.</i>

529
00:36:19,052 --> 00:36:20,345
<i>I did it all.</i>

530
00:36:20,512 --> 00:36:23,306
<i>I did everything I wanted.
I wanted to love this man.</i>

531
00:36:23,473 --> 00:36:28,687
<i>I wanted to experience
everything I hadn't experienced yet.</i>

532
00:36:30,855 --> 00:36:32,190
<i>I love you.</i>

533
00:36:36,152 --> 00:36:39,572
<i>He had escaped from prison
during the revolution.</i>

534
00:36:39,739 --> 00:36:42,909
<i>He needed a place where he could hide.</i>

535
00:36:43,076 --> 00:36:46,788
<i>The police officers had no idea
that I existed.</i>

536
00:36:46,955 --> 00:36:50,125
<i>Nobody could have suspected
that I was harboring a fugitive.</i>

537
00:36:53,586 --> 00:36:55,422
Do you know why he was in prison?

538
00:36:55,588 --> 00:36:59,592
Yes, for a crime. He killed someone.

539
00:37:01,678 --> 00:37:05,390
He told me everything.
He didn't hide anything.

540
00:37:05,724 --> 00:37:07,475
I knew everything.

541
00:37:07,934 --> 00:37:09,477
It didn't scare you, this crime?

542
00:37:09,644 --> 00:37:12,814
Not at all.
To me he was like an angel.

543
00:37:13,356 --> 00:37:15,734
I didn't find any fault in him.

544
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:20,196
For me, he was the most handsome,
the most masculine,

545
00:37:20,363 --> 00:37:23,366
nicest and most adorable man.

546
00:37:24,117 --> 00:37:28,872
If he had killed someone in front of me,
I would have helped him hide the body.

547
00:37:29,789 --> 00:37:31,124
Really.

548
00:37:31,291 --> 00:37:35,211
Together,
we shared incredible experiences,

549
00:37:35,378 --> 00:37:38,339
that are unspeakable.
And for me, it was normal.

550
00:37:38,506 --> 00:37:41,843
When he got out of prison,
a friend told him: "There's an old lady.

551
00:37:42,010 --> 00:37:44,471
She's really old but a nympho.

552
00:37:44,637 --> 00:37:50,351
Go see her, pleasure her,
and she'll give you your pocket money."

553
00:37:50,894 --> 00:37:53,730
He went there,
and she gave him 50 dinars.

554
00:37:53,897 --> 00:37:58,151
Some time later,
when we were flat broke,

555
00:37:58,318 --> 00:37:59,694
he asked me what I thought.

556
00:37:59,861 --> 00:38:01,738
"The old lady is our only solution."

557
00:38:02,155 --> 00:38:04,657
I went with him to her place!

558
00:38:05,492 --> 00:38:08,912
She had just died,
her casket was at the front door!

559
00:38:16,002 --> 00:38:17,086
Action!

560
00:38:17,462 --> 00:38:20,089
I kept my mouth shut about him,
for Mom.

561
00:38:22,091 --> 00:38:24,552
I could have got my revenge on him,
so easily.

562
00:38:25,929 --> 00:38:29,557
And he was a butcher
so there were lots of knives at home.

563
00:38:40,026 --> 00:38:41,236
What did he take?

564
00:38:41,402 --> 00:38:42,654
Everything.

565
00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:45,365
What? Pills?

566
00:38:45,907 --> 00:38:49,828
Yes, pills, all kinds of them.

567
00:38:50,245 --> 00:38:53,915
He would become weird.

568
00:38:54,082 --> 00:38:58,294
People take drugs
to enjoy themselves, right?

569
00:38:58,461 --> 00:38:59,879
Not him.

570
00:39:00,046 --> 00:39:02,966
He couldn't even control his body...

571
00:39:03,132 --> 00:39:04,759
He couldn't even speak?

572
00:39:04,926 --> 00:39:08,304
He was unable to speak,
he became like this...

573
00:39:08,805 --> 00:39:11,933
All shaky, with a nasty look.

574
00:39:12,392 --> 00:39:16,104
His actions turned nasty,
his words too.

575
00:39:16,813 --> 00:39:22,193
The first year with Wissem,
it was good.

576
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,195
We were young.

577
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:30,243
We weren't used to someone
being nice to us.

578
00:39:30,869 --> 00:39:33,329
And he was nice.
Or that's how it seemed to us.

579
00:39:33,496 --> 00:39:38,167
But then he didn't act the same
with all of us.

580
00:39:38,334 --> 00:39:41,212
He was nice to one of us
and nasty to the other.

581
00:39:41,379 --> 00:39:44,591
And all that in secret.

582
00:39:44,757 --> 00:39:46,426
What do you mean, "in secret"?

583
00:39:46,843 --> 00:39:50,346
For example,
he was kind and gentle with me.

584
00:39:50,513 --> 00:39:55,101
And he was the one who bought food
for us. We didn't have much.

585
00:39:55,602 --> 00:39:59,772
But he was our mother's boyfriend
and her daughters' boyfriend, let's say.

586
00:40:01,441 --> 00:40:04,319
When he got bored of the mother,
he moved on to her girls.

587
00:40:04,485 --> 00:40:07,655
The night with the mother
and the day with the daughters.

588
00:40:11,659 --> 00:40:13,453
Are you at peace with yourself?

589
00:40:13,620 --> 00:40:15,413
Do you have a clear conscience?

590
00:40:17,498 --> 00:40:19,584
I never loved you.

591
00:40:20,168 --> 00:40:24,213
What I loved, was the happiness
in my mother's eyes.

592
00:40:25,757 --> 00:40:27,216
Nothing else.

593
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,097
I thought that you would be the father
that I had never had.

594
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:36,851
But you made me hate the idea
of a father.

595
00:40:42,398 --> 00:40:44,525
What have Rahma
and Ghofrane done to you?

596
00:40:49,072 --> 00:40:50,907
What has Tayssir done to you?

597
00:40:54,535 --> 00:40:58,164
"She's my daughter, my favorite."
That's what you said, you liar.

598
00:40:59,540 --> 00:41:01,793
No father should do that.

599
00:41:05,838 --> 00:41:07,590
Why did you do that?

600
00:41:12,595 --> 00:41:13,888
I hate you.

601
00:41:14,055 --> 00:41:16,349
I will never forgive you for it.

602
00:41:18,935 --> 00:41:20,728
I hate you.

603
00:41:39,747 --> 00:41:41,124
Can we cut?

604
00:42:04,564 --> 00:42:05,565
What's up?

605
00:42:05,732 --> 00:42:08,359
There's something that's bothering me.

606
00:42:09,068 --> 00:42:10,069
Can you explain?

607
00:42:10,236 --> 00:42:13,406
No.
It's not something for the cameras.

608
00:42:13,573 --> 00:42:16,826
It will be a discussion
between you and me, outside.

609
00:42:20,038 --> 00:42:21,372
Shall we cut, Kaouther?

610
00:42:23,583 --> 00:42:25,084
Well, can we get to work?

611
00:42:25,251 --> 00:42:26,127
Come on!

612
00:42:26,294 --> 00:42:28,046
No, he doesn't want to.

613
00:42:28,755 --> 00:42:31,549
Tell him that we need this scene.

614
00:42:31,716 --> 00:42:34,135
I need the audience to see it.

615
00:42:35,011 --> 00:42:37,472
So that people know
who this man really is.

616
00:42:37,638 --> 00:42:40,933
I want him to help me.
He should see it as supporting me.

617
00:42:43,770 --> 00:42:46,606
I've already replayed this scene
with a shrink.

618
00:42:46,773 --> 00:42:47,690
I've gotten over it.

619
00:42:47,857 --> 00:42:50,234
It's not new.
It's not the first time.

620
00:42:50,943 --> 00:42:54,363
I've done this exercise in hospital,
surrounded by shrinks.

621
00:42:54,530 --> 00:42:55,573
And much worse, even.

622
00:42:55,740 --> 00:42:59,118
- This is a film now.
- I know, I'm aware of that.

623
00:42:59,285 --> 00:43:02,455
Film or not,
I've moved on from this.

624
00:43:03,748 --> 00:43:04,957
Don't let it bother you.

625
00:43:05,124 --> 00:43:07,668
He shouldn't be scared.
I know what I'm doing.

626
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:13,091
It's just dialogue.
He's an actor, he knows that.

627
00:43:13,257 --> 00:43:15,134
He just has to think that I'm acting.

628
00:43:15,551 --> 00:43:18,429
Tell him that it's lines of dialogue
that I've learned.

629
00:43:20,098 --> 00:43:23,851
I've already said all that.

630
00:43:24,936 --> 00:43:26,312
Do you get it, Kaouther?

631
00:43:27,271 --> 00:43:31,150
Don't be afraid of me!
Tell him that.

632
00:43:31,317 --> 00:43:32,610
And you, Tayssir?

633
00:43:33,111 --> 00:43:34,445
No, it's fine.

634
00:43:35,154 --> 00:43:37,406
All good. It's just that...

635
00:43:39,700 --> 00:43:41,410
I haven't been able to...

636
00:43:42,537 --> 00:43:44,956
I can't hate him.

637
00:43:45,456 --> 00:43:47,917
Despite everything he did to me,
I just can't.

638
00:43:48,084 --> 00:43:53,548
Yes I am angry.
Yes I want him to pay for it.

639
00:43:53,714 --> 00:43:55,967
But I'm not able to hate him.
It's weird.

640
00:43:56,592 --> 00:44:01,180
Maybe because...
I don't hate my father either.

641
00:44:01,347 --> 00:44:05,476
And to me,
Wissem was more than a father.

642
00:44:05,935 --> 00:44:09,689
When I was a little girl,
I thought of him as a father.

643
00:44:10,189 --> 00:44:14,318
I could never have imagined
he would do such things.

644
00:44:14,485 --> 00:44:18,656
And despite everything,
I am unable to hate him.

645
00:44:25,913 --> 00:44:29,458
He lied to my mother.
He made up stories to her.

646
00:44:29,625 --> 00:44:33,337
That's what we want to prove
to her as well.

647
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:39,427
For a long time,
Mom said to us that Wissem

648
00:44:39,886 --> 00:44:41,846
was our victim.

649
00:44:42,013 --> 00:44:46,559
She said that it was our fault
that she had lost him.

650
00:44:46,726 --> 00:44:51,439
We're the ones who are lost
because of him.

651
00:44:51,606 --> 00:44:53,941
We're the ones who are lost.

652
00:44:54,317 --> 00:44:55,610
That's the truth.

653
00:46:04,929 --> 00:46:08,891
<i>My love is renewed</i>

654
00:46:09,058 --> 00:46:12,895
<i>My love, it multiplies</i>

655
00:46:13,062 --> 00:46:17,358
<i>My love is renewed</i>

656
00:46:17,525 --> 00:46:21,153
<i>My love, it multiplies</i>

657
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,865
<i>I've loved you for so long</i>

658
00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:28,953
<i>Since when you were a child</i>

659
00:46:29,370 --> 00:46:31,330
<i>I've loved you with all my heart</i>

660
00:46:31,497 --> 00:46:33,291
<i>I've loved you with all my blood</i>

661
00:46:33,457 --> 00:46:35,543
<i>I've loved you with all my heart</i>

662
00:46:35,710 --> 00:46:38,087
<i>I've loved you with all my blood</i>

663
00:46:38,254 --> 00:46:41,966
<i>You were the flame
and I was the butterfly</i>

664
00:46:42,133 --> 00:46:46,220
<i>You were the earth and I was the farmer</i>

665
00:46:46,387 --> 00:46:50,308
<i>You were the sea
and I was the drowned sailor</i>

666
00:46:50,474 --> 00:46:53,853
<i>I always come back to you...</i>

667
00:46:54,395 --> 00:46:56,939
Stop, I can't take it!

668
00:46:57,106 --> 00:46:59,108
You're there,
showing us your butterfly!

669
00:47:01,402 --> 00:47:03,321
And you dare to complain!

670
00:47:04,697 --> 00:47:07,408
I hadn't realized
that they had grown up,

671
00:47:07,575 --> 00:47:11,287
until when I divorced their father
and I went to live in Sousse.

672
00:47:11,454 --> 00:47:14,957
You would have thought
they were different girls!

673
00:47:15,124 --> 00:47:18,002
They had changed.
They had grown up.

674
00:47:25,509 --> 00:47:29,263
When I was little
and my breasts started growing...

675
00:47:30,222 --> 00:47:31,265
I was ashamed!

676
00:47:31,432 --> 00:47:33,559
Mine still haven't grown yet!

677
00:47:33,726 --> 00:47:37,897
I didn't want to sleep on them.
I was scared they would sink in.

678
00:47:39,357 --> 00:47:41,942
That they'd go back in,
and it would leave holes.

679
00:47:43,110 --> 00:47:48,908
Rahma and a cousin put two glasses
around my breasts.

680
00:47:49,075 --> 00:47:53,329
It stopped them growing more!

681
00:47:54,038 --> 00:47:56,916
I was 11 years old.

682
00:47:57,083 --> 00:48:01,670
My sisters made fun of me,
instead of being supportive.

683
00:48:01,879 --> 00:48:04,715
- They made fun of me.
- Because of your periods?

684
00:48:04,882 --> 00:48:10,388
Yes, because I put the towel
the wrong way round, sticky side up!

685
00:48:10,554 --> 00:48:12,390
And the cotton underneath.

686
00:48:13,015 --> 00:48:14,392
When I pulled it off...

687
00:48:16,811 --> 00:48:20,898
- I can't even begin to tell you!
- That must have been so painful.

688
00:48:21,399 --> 00:48:25,569
I didn't know! I pulled it off.
My pubic hair made this sound...

689
00:48:29,031 --> 00:48:30,825
Eya, there's a man here!

690
00:48:32,701 --> 00:48:34,620
So what? He's doing his job!

691
00:48:35,371 --> 00:48:38,249
And anyway, he's filming you.

692
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:45,673
Kaouther, I have to tell you
about when I discovered the...

693
00:48:49,385 --> 00:48:52,096
Olfa, no! No hitting!

694
00:48:52,555 --> 00:48:53,931
Get off me!

695
00:48:58,602 --> 00:49:00,271
My poor butterfly.

696
00:49:05,693 --> 00:49:08,404
<i>I am sexy, I've been told</i>

697
00:49:09,071 --> 00:49:10,030
Okay, Mom?

698
00:49:12,074 --> 00:49:13,951
What a bunch of whores!

699
00:49:21,041 --> 00:49:22,042
You little slut!

700
00:49:22,209 --> 00:49:25,504
We didn't do anything!
Nothing at all, I swear to you!

701
00:49:25,921 --> 00:49:27,715
Get off him, Mom!

702
00:49:27,882 --> 00:49:30,050
Just you wait, you. You'll see!

703
00:49:30,217 --> 00:49:33,888
She had a private journal
and she wrote down everything in it.

704
00:49:34,054 --> 00:49:37,600
Tayssir came to show it to me.
She was very close to Rahma.

705
00:49:37,850 --> 00:49:41,687
I read it and found out
that she was talking about a boy, Onssi.

706
00:49:41,854 --> 00:49:48,110
"Your skin is a soft as a baby's,
your eyes as blue as the summer sky.

707
00:49:48,944 --> 00:49:51,655
You were the first to kiss me.

708
00:49:51,822 --> 00:49:54,658
Your kiss awakened things
inside me..."

709
00:49:54,825 --> 00:49:56,827
The word "kiss" sent me crazy!

710
00:49:56,994 --> 00:50:01,207
- Where's the harm in all that?
- She said that a boy had kissed her!

711
00:50:01,373 --> 00:50:03,834
But come on, all girls do that!

712
00:50:04,001 --> 00:50:06,086
I don't care. I don't want that.

713
00:50:06,253 --> 00:50:07,129
You never did that?

714
00:50:07,296 --> 00:50:10,090
No. And even when I was married
the asshole didn't kiss me.

715
00:50:10,257 --> 00:50:13,469
I wouldn't have gone and remarried
if he had kissed me.

716
00:50:16,347 --> 00:50:19,183
Her high school told me:
"Rahma is skipping class.

717
00:50:19,350 --> 00:50:21,727
We have sent you a notification."

718
00:50:21,894 --> 00:50:23,771
What do you mean skipping class?

719
00:50:24,146 --> 00:50:26,315
That is when the supervisors
explained to me

720
00:50:26,482 --> 00:50:28,859
that she had become a goth.

721
00:50:29,944 --> 00:50:33,280
That she came in wearing black makeup,

722
00:50:33,656 --> 00:50:37,159
that she was hitting the other students.

723
00:50:37,326 --> 00:50:40,120
That she was doing things,

724
00:50:40,287 --> 00:50:43,457
weird rituals,
things that were shocking.

725
00:50:43,624 --> 00:50:45,501
I don't even want to say
what they were.

726
00:50:45,668 --> 00:50:48,671
But they said that she was
a worshiper of Satan.

727
00:50:49,255 --> 00:50:51,882
A Satanist. I don't like that word.

728
00:51:11,151 --> 00:51:12,319
Sorry, Mom!

729
00:51:12,486 --> 00:51:15,447
You have brought Satan into my house!

730
00:51:15,614 --> 00:51:16,782
The devil!

731
00:51:17,449 --> 00:51:20,119
- In my home!
- It is already full of devils.

732
00:51:20,828 --> 00:51:23,414
In the name of God!

733
00:51:23,581 --> 00:51:25,499
What's up with her, Mom?

734
00:51:25,666 --> 00:51:27,626
In the name of God!

735
00:51:27,793 --> 00:51:29,295
God protect us.

736
00:51:47,771 --> 00:51:52,443
When Mom was working in Libya,
Ghofrane took advantage of it.

737
00:51:53,027 --> 00:51:55,821
She dated a guy with a motorcycle.

738
00:51:56,322 --> 00:52:01,035
But she couldn't get on the motorcycle
with long hairs like that.

739
00:52:01,619 --> 00:52:04,788
So she went to have her legs waxed.

740
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,249
After that, she disowned us.

741
00:52:07,416 --> 00:52:11,670
She said that she was an only child,
that her mother was working in Dubai,

742
00:52:11,837 --> 00:52:14,506
that she had a mansion someplace,

743
00:52:14,673 --> 00:52:17,718
with a swimming pool...
Basically, she had everything.

744
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,973
The neighbor who looked after us,
she had become Mom's snitch.

745
00:52:23,140 --> 00:52:24,975
- The supervisor.
- The supervisor, yes.

746
00:52:25,142 --> 00:52:27,394
She said that she was the maid.

747
00:52:27,561 --> 00:52:28,437
The nerve!

748
00:52:28,604 --> 00:52:32,066
One day, this lady called Mom.

749
00:52:32,232 --> 00:52:36,403
"Come back,
your daughter is out of control."

750
00:52:36,904 --> 00:52:38,656
She took the first bus.

751
00:52:38,822 --> 00:52:41,158
We didn't think we were doing
any wrong.

752
00:52:41,325 --> 00:52:45,746
We thought that her hair looked nice.

753
00:52:45,913 --> 00:52:47,414
We wanted ours to be the same.

754
00:52:48,415 --> 00:52:49,708
Girls, Mom's here.

755
00:52:50,250 --> 00:52:51,418
Mom.

756
00:52:56,632 --> 00:52:58,550
Get out. You, stay.

757
00:53:00,094 --> 00:53:01,261
You, stay here.

758
00:53:05,766 --> 00:53:07,017
Ghofrane...

759
00:53:07,810 --> 00:53:09,061
My daughter.

760
00:53:10,062 --> 00:53:10,979
Your hair...

761
00:53:14,650 --> 00:53:16,110
Is it new?

762
00:53:17,778 --> 00:53:20,614
Hang on... You've waxed?

763
00:53:20,781 --> 00:53:23,242
- You've waxed, Ghofrane?
- Sorry, Mom.

764
00:53:23,409 --> 00:53:25,285
- You've waxed?
- Sorry, Mom.

765
00:53:25,452 --> 00:53:27,454
You've waxed your legs, Ghofrane?

766
00:53:27,621 --> 00:53:29,289
What else have you waxed?

767
00:53:29,456 --> 00:53:30,416
Answer me.

768
00:53:30,582 --> 00:53:31,709
You've become a woman?

769
00:53:31,875 --> 00:53:35,879
While I'm working in Libya,
you're slacking off?

770
00:53:40,634 --> 00:53:42,845
You think that you're a woman now?

771
00:53:43,011 --> 00:53:44,763
I'm sorry, Mom.

772
00:53:44,930 --> 00:53:46,932
Show me.
Show me what you've waxed.

773
00:53:54,356 --> 00:53:55,816
May God forgive me.

774
00:53:58,068 --> 00:54:01,029
I didn't give her a chance,

775
00:54:01,196 --> 00:54:05,492
I didn't let her defend herself.

776
00:54:06,118 --> 00:54:08,829
She'd had her hair cut into a bob.

777
00:54:08,996 --> 00:54:11,373
I ripped out a clump of hair like that.

778
00:54:11,832 --> 00:54:13,500
In my hand.

779
00:54:13,667 --> 00:54:15,919
I totally destroyed her.

780
00:54:16,462 --> 00:54:18,922
When she hits you,
it's not just a couple of slaps.

781
00:54:19,089 --> 00:54:22,468
She enjoys it.
She takes the gas hose,

782
00:54:22,634 --> 00:54:24,386
she doubles it in half,

783
00:54:24,553 --> 00:54:26,597
and she hits and hits.

784
00:54:26,764 --> 00:54:29,975
We heard a whistling sound
from the force of the movement.

785
00:54:30,726 --> 00:54:35,022
She was crying, begging me.
The neighbor came to her defense.

786
00:54:35,522 --> 00:54:38,066
I hit him too and I threw him out.

787
00:54:38,233 --> 00:54:40,527
After the pipe,
I took the broom handle.

788
00:54:40,694 --> 00:54:42,404
It ended up in pieces!

789
00:54:43,155 --> 00:54:46,700
When she stopped moving,

790
00:54:48,243 --> 00:54:50,954
I thought that she was dead.
And I stopped.

791
00:55:02,424 --> 00:55:06,887
<i>My sisters, I know that among you,</i>

792
00:55:07,054 --> 00:55:09,348
<i>there are those who don't wear
the hijab</i>

793
00:55:09,515 --> 00:55:10,891
<i>and don't pray.</i>

794
00:55:11,058 --> 00:55:16,730
<i>Some want to repent
but they don't dare to come to us.</i>

795
00:55:16,897 --> 00:55:20,317
<i>We will deliver the hijab to your homes!</i>

796
00:55:20,484 --> 00:55:24,154
<i>In our eyes,
you are the wonderful mother,</i>

797
00:55:24,321 --> 00:55:26,281
<i>the virtuous mother,</i>

798
00:55:26,448 --> 00:55:27,616
<i>the tender breast,</i>

799
00:55:27,783 --> 00:55:30,786
<i>the vast sea, self-sacrifice.</i>

800
00:55:30,953 --> 00:55:34,540
<i>You are also the precious wife
whom we protect.</i>

801
00:55:36,583 --> 00:55:42,464
It was an ordinary morning.
We heard that there was an event.

802
00:55:42,631 --> 00:55:46,134
We went to the square
where we found a tent with preachers.

803
00:55:46,301 --> 00:55:50,722
They said that they were going
to give out hijabs.

804
00:55:50,889 --> 00:55:54,268
The women of the neighborhood
wanted to take them

805
00:55:54,434 --> 00:55:57,271
and sell them on to make some money.

806
00:55:57,855 --> 00:56:01,191
One of the girls in the neighborhood,
called Nessrine,

807
00:56:01,358 --> 00:56:03,944
told Ghofrane to go and help herself.

808
00:56:04,111 --> 00:56:06,154
So she went to take a hijab.

809
00:56:06,321 --> 00:56:12,744
When she got to the square,
a sheikh put the hijab on her,

810
00:56:12,911 --> 00:56:16,999
and began shouting: "She is the moon!",
because my sister is beautiful.

811
00:56:17,165 --> 00:56:20,252
When she came back home,
we all made fun of her.

812
00:56:20,419 --> 00:56:23,881
We told her to go and sell it
before it became used,

813
00:56:24,047 --> 00:56:26,300
otherwise people
would refuse to buy it.

814
00:56:26,466 --> 00:56:28,635
But she didn't want to take it off.

815
00:56:34,433 --> 00:56:36,810
When Ghofrane began to wear the veil,

816
00:56:36,977 --> 00:56:39,605
we really gave her a hard time.

817
00:56:39,771 --> 00:56:41,023
What does that mean?

818
00:56:41,732 --> 00:56:45,527
Rahma called her a bat.

819
00:56:45,694 --> 00:56:47,696
"Batman! You look ridiculous!"

820
00:56:48,030 --> 00:56:49,072
Exactly.

821
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,618
"Look at you, your hair, your beauty...
You're wasting it.

822
00:56:52,784 --> 00:56:55,203
Who will the boys
from the neighborhood date?"

823
00:56:56,830 --> 00:56:58,916
Look at that, a walking black soap!

824
00:56:59,082 --> 00:57:02,252
I'm stuck with looking
at that every day?

825
00:57:03,545 --> 00:57:04,588
Mom.

826
00:57:04,755 --> 00:57:05,923
Mom, talk to her.

827
00:57:06,548 --> 00:57:07,633
Leave your sister alone.

828
00:57:07,799 --> 00:57:10,177
I'm ashamed! You like it?

829
00:57:10,344 --> 00:57:12,763
Yes, I like it.
And you should do the same.

830
00:57:12,930 --> 00:57:17,601
Mom, respect is a mentality.
It's a way of behaving.

831
00:57:49,591 --> 00:57:50,425
Are you okay?

832
00:57:58,058 --> 00:57:59,184
It's understandable.

833
00:57:59,685 --> 00:58:03,188
I can't even bring myself
to look at her.

834
00:58:09,695 --> 00:58:13,865
How old were you when Ghofrane
started wearing the niqab?

835
00:58:15,367 --> 00:58:16,994
I was eight years old.

836
00:58:18,662 --> 00:58:20,831
And when she left, I was eleven.

837
00:58:25,502 --> 00:58:28,463
And what were you like
when you were eight?

838
00:58:30,048 --> 00:58:31,883
I was horrible!

839
00:58:32,050 --> 00:58:33,301
In what way?

840
00:58:33,635 --> 00:58:35,053
I was really ugly!

841
00:58:39,433 --> 00:58:40,517
I'm okay.

842
00:58:41,727 --> 00:58:45,689
- We can carry on, Kaouther.
- Great, let's do it.

843
00:58:48,316 --> 00:58:51,278
It began to spread
throughout the neighborhood.

844
00:58:51,445 --> 00:58:53,739
There were a lot more veiled women.

845
00:58:54,322 --> 00:58:58,535
Two weeks later,
Rahma went out grocery shopping.

846
00:58:58,702 --> 00:59:03,874
She was wearing a T-shirt
with an image of the antichrist on it.

847
00:59:04,791 --> 00:59:07,586
She often wore that T-shirt.

848
00:59:07,753 --> 00:59:12,049
That day, she came home
in a real state, in tears,

849
00:59:12,215 --> 00:59:15,260
and she asked Ghofrane
to buy her a hijab.

850
00:59:15,427 --> 00:59:18,805
We insisted that she tell us
what had happened.

851
00:59:18,972 --> 00:59:21,725
A certain Mr. Mustapha,
along with some other men,

852
00:59:21,892 --> 00:59:27,147
had blocked her path
and spoken about the antichrist to her.

853
00:59:27,314 --> 00:59:31,359
And they had mentioned
the punishments of the grave.

854
00:59:31,526 --> 00:59:35,405
That's what had scared her the most,
the punishments of the grave.

855
00:59:35,864 --> 00:59:37,866
So she began to wear the hijab as well,

856
00:59:38,033 --> 00:59:42,204
but she became much more radical
than Ghofrane.

857
00:59:45,373 --> 00:59:47,918
- Do you find me sexy?
- To die for!

858
00:59:48,085 --> 00:59:49,252
Drop dead sexy.

859
00:59:50,253 --> 00:59:51,463
Where are her eyes?

860
00:59:53,006 --> 00:59:54,132
Bring that down a bit.

861
00:59:55,133 --> 00:59:56,718
There they are!

862
01:00:04,601 --> 01:00:06,144
Do you know what shocks me?

863
01:00:06,311 --> 01:00:09,189
There wasn't any of that
before the revolution.

864
01:00:09,356 --> 01:00:11,399
No niqab, no hijab.
Nothing.

865
01:00:11,566 --> 01:00:15,028
If someone wanted to wear the hijab
they would wear it at home.

866
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:17,405
If not, the police would take you away.

867
01:00:17,823 --> 01:00:21,118
And they would hit you
with their batons.

868
01:00:21,284 --> 01:00:24,746
Under Ben Ali, before the revolution,

869
01:00:24,913 --> 01:00:28,583
you weren't even allowed
to wear a headscarf.

870
01:00:28,750 --> 01:00:33,004
Those women who wore it
were arrested by the police.

871
01:00:33,171 --> 01:00:38,176
They wanted to impose an ideal
of the Tunisian woman.

872
01:00:38,343 --> 01:00:39,761
How she should be,

873
01:00:39,928 --> 01:00:42,764
what she is allowed to do or not.

874
01:00:42,931 --> 01:00:46,935
So much so, that back then,
wearing a headscarf

875
01:00:47,435 --> 01:00:50,730
was an act of resistance,

876
01:00:50,897 --> 01:00:54,151
a way of opposing the established order.

877
01:00:54,317 --> 01:00:59,489
Because the hijab was banned
before the revolution,

878
01:00:59,948 --> 01:01:03,368
it became a kind of symbol
of rebellion.

879
01:01:03,535 --> 01:01:06,204
We are always drawn toward
the forbidden, actually.

880
01:01:06,371 --> 01:01:07,831
"What do you mean, no hijab?

881
01:01:07,998 --> 01:01:11,126
I'm going to rebel and wear it then."

882
01:01:11,501 --> 01:01:14,546
And during the revolution,
my mother, my family,

883
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:17,174
and even me, as just a young girl,
we said:

884
01:01:17,340 --> 01:01:20,927
"Ok, let's vote for those who love God
and wear the hijab again.

885
01:01:21,094 --> 01:01:25,932
They are closer to God.
They will better solve our problems."

886
01:01:26,349 --> 01:01:29,311
They want to mold women
as they want them to be.

887
01:01:29,477 --> 01:01:31,438
Map out our lives for us,

888
01:01:31,605 --> 01:01:34,816
and shape women
in the way that they see them.

889
01:01:34,983 --> 01:01:36,276
No more, no less.

890
01:01:36,443 --> 01:01:39,779
Not let us do what we want to do.

891
01:01:39,946 --> 01:01:43,325
Like dolls that they manipulate
as they please.

892
01:01:43,491 --> 01:01:45,535
That they would dress as they like.

893
01:01:45,702 --> 01:01:47,579
With no rights.

894
01:01:47,746 --> 01:01:51,750
For example, a girl like you
who has beautiful eyes,

895
01:01:51,917 --> 01:01:54,127
she wears it to one side
and it becomes alluring.

896
01:01:54,294 --> 01:01:55,503
Isn't that sinful?

897
01:01:55,670 --> 01:01:59,549
Yes, but I'm speaking of those
who wear it for aesthetic reasons.

898
01:01:59,716 --> 01:02:01,051
And so Rahma...

899
01:02:02,385 --> 01:02:04,095
She pulls that down too.

900
01:02:06,598 --> 01:02:09,559
- She pulls it down like that.
- Really? A blackboard.

901
01:02:09,726 --> 01:02:12,687
So that you don't see
the outline of her shoulders.

902
01:02:12,854 --> 01:02:15,523
A solid block. Nothing stands out.

903
01:02:15,857 --> 01:02:18,401
You shouldn't be able
to make out any shape?

904
01:02:18,568 --> 01:02:21,613
Nothing. Not a hand, nor a foot.
Nothing.

905
01:02:21,780 --> 01:02:24,991
And when you walk, you have to march.
Like that.

906
01:02:26,534 --> 01:02:28,245
Seriously?
I have to march too?

907
01:02:28,411 --> 01:02:31,831
Like that, with your head down,
taking long strides.

908
01:02:31,998 --> 01:02:34,376
Whereas for Ghofrane,
you walk like this.

909
01:02:35,919 --> 01:02:37,754
You don't even hear her footsteps.

910
01:02:37,921 --> 01:02:41,841
And at the same time, my dear Ghofrane,
you have to do this with your eyes.

911
01:02:43,927 --> 01:02:45,929
Show us those pretty eyes, Ghofrane.

912
01:02:46,096 --> 01:02:48,848
But then, why wear the niqab?

913
01:02:49,015 --> 01:02:52,352
Why?
For appearance's sake. It's a look.

914
01:02:52,519 --> 01:02:55,188
It was the fashion, at that time.

915
01:02:55,355 --> 01:02:59,693
Now, it's ripped jeans.
Back then, it was the niqab.

916
01:02:59,859 --> 01:03:01,069
Fashion!

917
01:03:01,820 --> 01:03:05,156
And once you are with the sisters,
time to pull the niqab up!

918
01:03:07,993 --> 01:03:09,995
We look at each other, as you do.

919
01:03:10,161 --> 01:03:11,246
Everything's fine.

920
01:03:11,413 --> 01:03:13,123
Go on, Ghofrane, lift yours up.

921
01:03:13,665 --> 01:03:14,916
Go on.

922
01:03:17,335 --> 01:03:18,712
My God!

923
01:03:18,878 --> 01:03:21,423
Their reaction.
"My God! So beautiful!"

924
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,426
- Sister, you are so beautiful!
- God is great!

925
01:03:24,592 --> 01:03:29,139
So beautiful that in the end,
they pulled her niqab back down.

926
01:03:29,306 --> 01:03:30,348
Why?

927
01:03:30,515 --> 01:03:37,439
The sisters were afraid
that their husbands would see her.

928
01:03:37,856 --> 01:03:41,943
- And that they would want to marry her?
- They can have four wives.

929
01:03:42,110 --> 01:03:45,989
They do a whole ritual
for a girl who wears the niqab.

930
01:03:46,156 --> 01:03:48,742
- Especially if she is impious.
- In what sense?

931
01:03:49,117 --> 01:03:50,327
A whore.

932
01:03:50,493 --> 01:03:52,120
No, I wouldn't go that far.

933
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:55,206
The way you saw me just now.

934
01:03:55,999 --> 01:03:57,375
A woman who doesn't pray,

935
01:03:57,542 --> 01:04:00,837
who doesn't follow
the religious commandments.

936
01:04:01,963 --> 01:04:03,840
We throw her a little party.

937
01:04:04,007 --> 01:04:06,259
- How do you mean?
- Like a graduation ceremony.

938
01:04:06,676 --> 01:04:10,305
We dress her up
and we sing a song for her.

939
01:04:10,889 --> 01:04:12,557
- Which one?
- I'll sing it for you.

940
01:04:12,724 --> 01:04:14,392
Sing along with me.

941
01:04:15,935 --> 01:04:21,775
<i>Oh my sister,
don't let Satan corrupt you</i>

942
01:04:21,941 --> 01:04:27,781
<i>The hijab is a divine command</i>

943
01:04:27,947 --> 01:04:32,077
<i>Oh my sister,
their words were foolish</i>

944
01:04:33,787 --> 01:04:37,332
<i>They said that we were
as dark as the night</i>

945
01:04:39,250 --> 01:04:44,172
<i>They laughed at the hijab</i>

946
01:04:45,173 --> 01:04:46,883
I adored Rahma.

947
01:04:47,050 --> 01:04:51,596
She was my role model.
I tried to copy everything she did.

948
01:04:51,763 --> 01:04:58,103
I was very close to her
and I really admired her.

949
01:04:58,645 --> 01:05:01,898
When she began to wear the hijab,
I wore it too.

950
01:05:02,065 --> 01:05:03,983
Eya didn't want to, at the start.

951
01:05:04,150 --> 01:05:08,613
When Eya turned up
and Rahma and I were eating lunch,

952
01:05:08,780 --> 01:05:12,367
we would push her away
and call her an infidel,

953
01:05:12,534 --> 01:05:14,077
and she would start to cry.

954
01:05:14,244 --> 01:05:18,039
It was the same
when she wanted to play with us.

955
01:05:18,206 --> 01:05:23,711
We turned her away
because she wasn't wearing a hijab,

956
01:05:23,878 --> 01:05:27,132
and each time, she would cry.

957
01:05:27,298 --> 01:05:30,343
We got our way in the end.

958
01:05:30,510 --> 01:05:32,804
We defeated her.
She ended up wearing a hijab,

959
01:05:32,971 --> 01:05:35,682
just to live with us.

960
01:05:35,849 --> 01:05:40,520
We really gave her a hard time.

961
01:05:40,687 --> 01:05:45,859
When she finally wore the hijab,
we became a family of veiled women.

962
01:05:46,025 --> 01:05:48,361
Like a small branch of Daesh at home.

963
01:05:48,528 --> 01:05:51,114
<i>We salute the Islamic State,
our State</i>

964
01:05:51,281 --> 01:05:53,783
<i>Our State will triumph</i>

965
01:05:53,950 --> 01:05:56,578
<i>And by the mightiest</i>

966
01:05:56,744 --> 01:05:59,622
<i>Sharia Law will triumph</i>

967
01:06:00,206 --> 01:06:02,667
- What is this song?
- It's for sharia law.

968
01:06:03,334 --> 01:06:06,087
<i>We salute Baghdadi</i>

969
01:06:07,547 --> 01:06:09,174
The cops will turn up.

970
01:06:09,340 --> 01:06:11,551
Olfa, where did you learn these songs?

971
01:06:11,718 --> 01:06:14,137
- With the girls.
- You sang with them?

972
01:06:14,304 --> 01:06:16,139
Of course.
I did everything with them.

973
01:06:16,681 --> 01:06:20,852
At the start, I was really happy
that they were wearing the hijab.

974
01:06:21,019 --> 01:06:23,396
It didn't bother me at the beginning.

975
01:06:23,563 --> 01:06:26,065
And then they grew ashamed of me.

976
01:06:26,232 --> 01:06:28,276
Wearing pants
while they were all covered up.

977
01:06:28,443 --> 01:06:30,361
Are you not ashamed?

978
01:06:30,528 --> 01:06:32,113
Life comes to an end, you know.

979
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:36,326
We will all end up above, up there.
What will you say in front of God?

980
01:06:36,493 --> 01:06:38,745
I'm not naked!
I wear a headscarf.

981
01:06:38,912 --> 01:06:43,249
The headscarf isn't enough.
God said to cover the face.

982
01:06:43,416 --> 01:06:45,376
And how can I work, dressed like that?

983
01:06:45,543 --> 01:06:47,712
Are you working for your life
or for eternity?

984
01:06:47,879 --> 01:06:49,881
Do you want to burn in Hell?

985
01:06:50,048 --> 01:06:51,257
You don't even work!

986
01:06:51,424 --> 01:06:53,760
You spend your days going
from one mosque to another.

987
01:06:53,927 --> 01:06:56,179
At least I'm helping people, Mom.

988
01:06:56,346 --> 01:06:59,098
Start by helping your sisters
and your mother.

989
01:06:59,265 --> 01:07:02,018
No. My heart is purer than yours.

990
01:07:02,185 --> 01:07:05,563
- What do you know about my heart?
- I can see it in your face.

991
01:07:05,730 --> 01:07:08,316
- Such a vicious tongue!
- Rahma has struck!

992
01:07:08,942 --> 01:07:12,904
I am trying to warn you
so that God spares you

993
01:07:13,071 --> 01:07:14,447
at the final judgment.

994
01:07:14,614 --> 01:07:17,450
So that you don't burn
and fry in Hell.

995
01:07:17,617 --> 01:07:19,536
I know where I will end up.

996
01:07:19,702 --> 01:07:26,334
In the garden of Eden, up there,
with the houris.

997
01:07:26,501 --> 01:07:30,004
Okay, and if I wear this outfit,
who will feed you?

998
01:07:30,171 --> 01:07:31,714
Don't you worry about that.

999
01:07:31,881 --> 01:07:34,884
- I can't work like that!
- You're finding excuses, Olfa.

1000
01:07:35,051 --> 01:07:38,179
It's your funeral.
We'll see what God has in store for you.

1001
01:07:38,346 --> 01:07:41,015
You wear it if you want
but don't bug me about it.

1002
01:07:41,182 --> 01:07:45,144
People will laugh at you.

1003
01:07:45,311 --> 01:07:50,400
They will say: "The girls wear it,
but look at their mother!"

1004
01:07:50,858 --> 01:07:52,610
They will call you a loose woman.

1005
01:07:52,777 --> 01:07:54,946
But will you listen to this bitch!

1006
01:07:55,947 --> 01:07:58,283
Imagine, you go out
and a car runs you over.

1007
01:07:58,449 --> 01:08:00,285
It hits you and you die, right?

1008
01:08:00,451 --> 01:08:03,037
I'm not wishing that upon you,
but what will God do?

1009
01:08:03,204 --> 01:08:04,330
You scare me.

1010
01:08:06,165 --> 01:08:07,584
Don't listen to her.

1011
01:08:09,210 --> 01:08:11,379
You'll end up
in the lower depths of hell.

1012
01:08:12,046 --> 01:08:13,798
My girl, you really scare me.

1013
01:08:13,965 --> 01:08:16,759
- I will wear it.
- Help! She's really in character!

1014
01:08:16,926 --> 01:08:18,970
Did you really answer her like that?

1015
01:08:19,137 --> 01:08:21,514
- She's being serious there.
- Yes, totally.

1016
01:08:21,681 --> 01:08:23,975
She's a great actor.

1017
01:08:24,601 --> 01:08:28,187
You scared me.
I have goosebumps.

1018
01:08:28,896 --> 01:08:33,443
That was how it happened, with Rahma.
She convinced me through fear.

1019
01:08:33,610 --> 01:08:36,738
And I wore it for a long time.

1020
01:08:37,113 --> 01:08:39,657
They found the only way
to dominate you.

1021
01:08:39,824 --> 01:08:42,994
With religion, with God.

1022
01:08:43,161 --> 01:08:45,413
They reversed the balance of power.

1023
01:08:45,580 --> 01:08:49,667
And also, it was you who started
with the prohibitions.

1024
01:08:49,834 --> 01:08:52,920
- So, they...
- Let me answer you.

1025
01:08:53,087 --> 01:08:58,760
That's right. I taught them to aim
and they shot me.

1026
01:08:58,926 --> 01:09:03,890
I taught them to be strong,
and they defeated me.

1027
01:09:04,057 --> 01:09:05,975
They were able to influence me.

1028
01:09:07,060 --> 01:09:08,645
This outfit, I don't like it.

1029
01:09:08,811 --> 01:09:11,397
I am only wearing it
to reenact this scene.

1030
01:09:11,564 --> 01:09:13,775
I don't even want to see myself
in the mirror.

1031
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,612
But when my daughter dresses like this,
it makes me proud.

1032
01:09:17,779 --> 01:09:20,740
I don't like how Eya is dressed.

1033
01:09:20,907 --> 01:09:24,535
I would be really happy
if Eya would wear it.

1034
01:09:25,203 --> 01:09:28,748
You don't even want to look
at yourself in the mirror,

1035
01:09:28,915 --> 01:09:32,085
and you would like me to wear it
to make you happy?

1036
01:09:32,251 --> 01:09:34,629
I'm scared for you all.

1037
01:09:34,796 --> 01:09:39,217
If they had wanted to go out
less covered up

1038
01:09:39,384 --> 01:09:42,762
or if they had stayed
in the goth craze,

1039
01:09:42,929 --> 01:09:47,141
as well as going out with guys,
would you have let them?

1040
01:09:47,308 --> 01:09:48,142
Never!

1041
01:09:48,309 --> 01:09:51,688
So for them,
the only way to be free,

1042
01:09:52,063 --> 01:09:54,899
was to go down this path.

1043
01:10:12,125 --> 01:10:13,000
I love you.

1044
01:10:13,167 --> 01:10:15,628
You love me? Right?
You will get what you deserve.

1045
01:10:15,795 --> 01:10:18,381
We are friends.
I am your beloved sister.

1046
01:10:18,548 --> 01:10:20,049
Love doesn't come into this.

1047
01:10:20,216 --> 01:10:22,135
You've already hit me twice.

1048
01:10:23,094 --> 01:10:24,762
Two times.

1049
01:10:24,929 --> 01:10:26,139
Show me your back.

1050
01:10:30,643 --> 01:10:31,894
Show me your back!

1051
01:10:32,603 --> 01:10:34,272
- Damn it!
- Are you playing with God?

1052
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,108
What God?
God forgives, not you.

1053
01:10:37,275 --> 01:10:38,359
Shut up, Tayssir.

1054
01:10:38,526 --> 01:10:39,944
God is merciful, dammit.

1055
01:10:40,403 --> 01:10:42,780
- 4, 5, 6...
- Rahma, shit!

1056
01:10:42,947 --> 01:10:46,242
When we forgot or we were late to pray,

1057
01:10:46,784 --> 01:10:49,746
Rahma would whip us.

1058
01:10:49,912 --> 01:10:51,664
According to how major the sin was.

1059
01:10:51,831 --> 01:10:56,335
I've forgotten the rules
but it could go up to 50 lashes.

1060
01:10:56,836 --> 01:10:59,172
She meant business.
The blows were hard.

1061
01:10:59,338 --> 01:11:03,217
And when Rahma committed a sin,

1062
01:11:03,384 --> 01:11:06,345
she would self-flagellate like this.

1063
01:11:12,852 --> 01:11:15,980
I remember,
one of Mom's friends got pregnant,

1064
01:11:16,481 --> 01:11:19,317
but outside of marriage.

1065
01:11:19,692 --> 01:11:23,571
Rahma decided to wait for her
to give birth and then apply sharia law.

1066
01:11:23,738 --> 01:11:26,783
The punishment? Stoning.

1067
01:11:27,158 --> 01:11:28,701
How did you plan on doing that?

1068
01:11:29,410 --> 01:11:31,496
The woman
would have fought back, right?

1069
01:11:31,662 --> 01:11:34,957
We didn't do it.
It was Rahma's imaginary plan.

1070
01:11:35,124 --> 01:11:39,754
In a public place. She wanted
to tie her to a pole or a tree.

1071
01:11:39,921 --> 01:11:43,716
- So she was imagining the whole scene.
- Of course.

1072
01:11:43,883 --> 01:11:47,845
She would tell her to her face:
"Once you give birth, you'll be stoned."

1073
01:11:48,012 --> 01:11:51,557
She couldn't really do it.
She made it all up.

1074
01:11:51,724 --> 01:11:56,395
There are laws in this country.
She would have been put in prison.

1075
01:11:56,562 --> 01:12:01,859
It was above all to let us know
how bad it was.

1076
01:12:02,026 --> 01:12:04,862
If we had lived in a State
governed by sharia law,

1077
01:12:05,029 --> 01:12:06,614
the woman would have been stoned.

1078
01:12:06,781 --> 01:12:10,159
If there weren't these laws,
it would be crazy.

1079
01:12:10,326 --> 01:12:11,702
It would be the end.

1080
01:12:11,869 --> 01:12:14,372
Rahma would order you about with slaps.

1081
01:12:14,539 --> 01:12:16,624
We wouldn't be shooting a film!

1082
01:12:18,084 --> 01:12:19,252
Thanks to God!

1083
01:12:26,425 --> 01:12:29,679
- Eya is like my younger version.
- They look like each other.

1084
01:12:31,055 --> 01:12:33,432
She looks like you in the photo.

1085
01:12:33,599 --> 01:12:38,062
Yes, Eya reminds me of my youth.
She's my exact copy.

1086
01:12:41,566 --> 01:12:43,150
My mouth!

1087
01:12:44,318 --> 01:12:45,862
You got some on her.

1088
01:12:50,324 --> 01:12:51,868
- I saw you Mom.
- What?

1089
01:12:52,034 --> 01:12:53,619
You slipped the headscarf off.

1090
01:12:56,289 --> 01:12:59,792
- Did you see it? Her scarf was there...
- Shush, you!

1091
01:12:59,959 --> 01:13:04,589
- She's faking it.
- I swear, it slipped down by itself.

1092
01:13:04,755 --> 01:13:06,173
It's fine, leave it.

1093
01:13:06,340 --> 01:13:08,509
A photo without the headscarf, please.

1094
01:13:09,969 --> 01:13:12,388
- Put it over your shoulders.
- Okay.

1095
01:13:12,763 --> 01:13:14,390
That's what you wanted!

1096
01:13:14,557 --> 01:13:15,975
I look good like this!

1097
01:13:16,142 --> 01:13:17,226
Listen to me.

1098
01:13:17,393 --> 01:13:20,646
You're wearing a mic.
The sound girls will go crazy.

1099
01:13:21,272 --> 01:13:23,024
You can't touch it.

1100
01:13:23,190 --> 01:13:24,775
Leave the headscarf like that.

1101
01:13:25,443 --> 01:13:28,237
Like a Chanel scarf.

1102
01:13:31,407 --> 01:13:33,409
Let's say I'm your real mother.

1103
01:13:34,619 --> 01:13:36,621
Would you accept me as your mother?

1104
01:13:38,122 --> 01:13:41,375
- As Ghofrane, you mean?
- No, your real mother, yours.

1105
01:13:41,542 --> 01:13:44,545
She would be obliged to.

1106
01:13:44,712 --> 01:13:49,133
Would you be satisfied with me
as your mother, with the way that I am?

1107
01:13:50,635 --> 01:13:52,470
Did you choose your mother?

1108
01:13:52,929 --> 01:13:56,807
Have any of us chosen their mother?
If you had the choice...

1109
01:13:56,974 --> 01:14:01,812
We don't choose, but would you choose
the same mother and father?

1110
01:14:01,979 --> 01:14:03,147
No.

1111
01:14:03,314 --> 01:14:04,482
There you go.

1112
01:14:24,710 --> 01:14:25,544
With Rahma,

1113
01:14:26,545 --> 01:14:29,423
we would often watch videos together.

1114
01:14:29,590 --> 01:14:33,219
One day, she came across a video
on YouTube.

1115
01:14:33,386 --> 01:14:39,517
It was a man who wanted
to spend a whole night buried alive.

1116
01:14:39,684 --> 01:14:42,186
He was buried with an oxygen tank.

1117
01:14:42,353 --> 01:14:45,231
He wanted to spend the whole night
inside the grave.

1118
01:14:45,398 --> 01:14:48,234
When he came out the next day,
he was in tears.

1119
01:14:48,401 --> 01:14:49,735
He was afraid of God.

1120
01:14:50,069 --> 01:14:52,113
He was crying,
and Rahma was crying harder.

1121
01:14:52,279 --> 01:14:56,325
And I was like:
"Hang on, I am supposed to cry at that?"

1122
01:14:56,742 --> 01:15:00,746
She wanted to try it.
To go inside a grave.

1123
01:15:00,913 --> 01:15:03,374
She loved the idea, she researched it.

1124
01:15:03,541 --> 01:15:08,379
She became obsessed with it.
She wanted to try even if it meant dying.

1125
01:15:08,546 --> 01:15:11,257
Some people dream
of going to the Maldives.

1126
01:15:11,424 --> 01:15:15,219
My sister, she dreamed
of spending a night in a grave.

1127
01:15:33,696 --> 01:15:36,407
Boom, boom, boom.
The truth will be revealed.

1128
01:15:36,574 --> 01:15:39,410
She is in the madhouse,
and God forgives everything.

1129
01:15:40,161 --> 01:15:41,746
I am the martyr.

1130
01:15:42,496 --> 01:15:45,708
I am the gravedigger. So lucky.

1131
01:15:46,167 --> 01:15:48,085
I am the Angel of Torture.

1132
01:15:48,711 --> 01:15:50,046
I am the Angel of Torment.

1133
01:16:10,900 --> 01:16:12,109
Let's bury her.

1134
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:48,479
- Did you have fun playing that game?
- We had a ball.

1135
01:16:48,646 --> 01:16:51,065
It was like going to Disneyland.

1136
01:16:51,440 --> 01:16:53,150
What did you like about it?

1137
01:16:53,317 --> 01:16:57,363
Everything! It's fun.
Look, she's dead and we bury her!

1138
01:16:57,738 --> 01:17:02,326
Rahma invented this game to tell us
that life is worthless.

1139
01:17:02,493 --> 01:17:06,789
When we die,
all we take with us is a shroud.

1140
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:09,959
Only our actions count.

1141
01:17:10,543 --> 01:17:13,796
Some cotton in both her nostrils.

1142
01:17:15,798 --> 01:17:17,341
And in her ears.

1143
01:17:18,425 --> 01:17:22,012
- And the holes down below, right?
- Yes.

1144
01:17:22,179 --> 01:17:24,890
We block up all the holes.

1145
01:17:26,976 --> 01:17:28,185
Hang on...

1146
01:17:29,019 --> 01:17:30,729
You don't know how to play dead?

1147
01:17:31,605 --> 01:17:33,607
It's the first time that I've died.

1148
01:17:36,735 --> 01:17:38,988
May God grant you His infinite mercy.

1149
01:17:39,155 --> 01:17:41,532
Forgive me if I have wronged you.

1150
01:17:41,866 --> 01:17:43,159
Rest in peace.

1151
01:17:46,954 --> 01:17:48,747
You can kiss your sister.

1152
01:18:16,567 --> 01:18:18,694
A lot of girls wear the hijab

1153
01:18:18,861 --> 01:18:21,197
because they fear being tortured
in the grave.

1154
01:18:21,363 --> 01:18:24,950
It's the most terrifying
and horrendous thing,

1155
01:18:25,117 --> 01:18:27,328
so it's the most persuasive argument.

1156
01:18:28,078 --> 01:18:29,705
For example, an adulterous woman,

1157
01:18:29,872 --> 01:18:31,624
her vagina catches fire
in the grave.

1158
01:18:32,791 --> 01:18:33,626
It burns!

1159
01:18:34,293 --> 01:18:37,463
She is cooked, she burns,
everything you can think of.

1160
01:18:38,047 --> 01:18:40,591
Make her wear a dress of fire!

1161
01:18:40,758 --> 01:18:43,344
Make her wear shoes of fire!

1162
01:18:45,012 --> 01:18:47,431
God, have mercy on me!

1163
01:18:47,598 --> 01:18:50,184
I would have liked to be a stone,
not a human.

1164
01:18:50,351 --> 01:18:54,772
God, have mercy. I didn't know
the day of judgment would arrive.

1165
01:18:54,939 --> 01:18:56,690
Forgive me, I didn't know.

1166
01:18:56,982 --> 01:18:58,359
Too late for that.

1167
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:19,463
This incident happened
when Mom was in Libya.

1168
01:19:19,964 --> 01:19:22,049
We were at my aunt's house.

1169
01:19:23,133 --> 01:19:29,223
The neighbor's son recited the Koran.
He had a beautiful voice.

1170
01:19:29,390 --> 01:19:31,517
We went to see them during Ramadan.

1171
01:19:31,976 --> 01:19:34,561
The son began to recite the Koran.

1172
01:19:34,728 --> 01:19:37,606
I saw Ghofrane at the bedroom door.

1173
01:19:37,773 --> 01:19:39,984
She was tiptoeing,

1174
01:19:40,150 --> 01:19:43,362
as if she was being strangled
and dragged along by force.

1175
01:19:43,529 --> 01:19:46,448
She came near to me and she fainted.

1176
01:19:46,907 --> 01:19:49,201
Lord, protect us from evil.

1177
01:19:49,368 --> 01:19:51,245
Get off me!

1178
01:19:53,330 --> 01:19:57,418
Rahma went to the mosque
to find out information on exorcisms.

1179
01:19:57,584 --> 01:20:02,631
And to avoid her veil coming off
in front of a male exorcist,

1180
01:20:02,798 --> 01:20:04,383
we found a female exorcist.

1181
01:20:05,843 --> 01:20:08,262
Get off me! Get off me!

1182
01:20:09,805 --> 01:20:13,225
Come out of this body!
May you be cursed by God!

1183
01:20:19,106 --> 01:20:22,192
Who are you? Come out!
Come out, enemy of God!

1184
01:20:22,359 --> 01:20:26,322
No one can be harmed in His presence,
the name of the Lord protects you.

1185
01:20:32,077 --> 01:20:33,746
Is this all for real, Ghofrane?

1186
01:20:34,204 --> 01:20:37,750
Men aren't enough for you,
you need Djinns too?

1187
01:20:39,126 --> 01:20:40,169
Tell me!

1188
01:20:40,336 --> 01:20:42,421
Don't be rough, he can get violent.

1189
01:20:42,588 --> 01:20:43,839
Shut up, you.

1190
01:20:44,006 --> 01:20:46,175
As soon as you go to Libya,
it's a disaster.

1191
01:20:46,342 --> 01:20:50,471
I am working like a horse there,
and you, you bring me a Djinn.

1192
01:21:02,274 --> 01:21:03,942
I will go back to Libya.

1193
01:21:04,276 --> 01:21:06,195
I will return there.

1194
01:21:09,573 --> 01:21:14,703
And I will take the girls with me.
We will all work there.

1195
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:18,290
We will earn some money
and then we will come back.

1196
01:21:52,241 --> 01:21:56,703
There is no shame
in being a cleaning lady.

1197
01:21:56,870 --> 01:21:59,706
You have to make an honest living.

1198
01:22:00,124 --> 01:22:03,168
Yes, I turned my girls
into cleaning ladies.

1199
01:22:03,335 --> 01:22:07,089
Without any qualifications,
it's the only thing they could do.

1200
01:22:07,256 --> 01:22:10,592
That was the only work available
in Libya.

1201
01:22:10,759 --> 01:22:13,804
Besides, I spent my time
running around to help them

1202
01:22:13,971 --> 01:22:16,640
where they were working, with Eya.

1203
01:22:16,807 --> 01:22:21,770
I never left them
to do exhausting jobs on their own.

1204
01:22:23,021 --> 01:22:26,942
I don't think
that I treated them unfairly.

1205
01:22:40,998 --> 01:22:43,792
<i>One day, Ghofrane came to see me.</i>

1206
01:22:43,959 --> 01:22:47,171
<i>She said to me: "Don't bother
coming to help me tomorrow,</i>

1207
01:22:47,337 --> 01:22:48,964
<i>I won't have much cleaning to do."</i>

1208
01:22:49,131 --> 01:22:52,593
<i>I replied: "Okay."
She gave me a lot of kisses that day.</i>

1209
01:22:52,759 --> 01:22:55,762
<i>I asked her:
"What are all these kisses for?"</i>

1210
01:22:55,929 --> 01:23:00,350
<i>She was often very affectionate,
but there, it was over the top.</i>

1211
01:23:00,517 --> 01:23:04,062
<i>I told her:
"Stop, you'd think I were about to die."</i>

1212
01:23:04,229 --> 01:23:06,440
<i>She replied: "I love you, Mom."</i>

1213
01:23:07,024 --> 01:23:08,567
<i>And she left.</i>

1214
01:23:24,416 --> 01:23:25,959
- Where is your sister?
- I don't know.

1215
01:23:26,126 --> 01:23:28,754
- Where is your sister?
- In my pocket. Can't you see her?

1216
01:23:28,921 --> 01:23:31,715
Are you laughing at me?
You're being a smart ass?

1217
01:23:31,882 --> 01:23:34,635
- Where did your sister go?
- She is in Sabratha.

1218
01:23:35,052 --> 01:23:37,387
- To do what?
- She has joined the brothers.

1219
01:23:37,554 --> 01:23:38,847
What brothers?

1220
01:23:39,181 --> 01:23:41,099
Bring her back,
we're going home to Tunisia.

1221
01:23:41,266 --> 01:23:44,061
Bring your sister back.
We're going home to Tunisia.

1222
01:23:44,228 --> 01:23:46,063
She won't come back
and I'm joining her.

1223
01:23:46,230 --> 01:23:48,565
Bring her back, I'm telling you
we're going back home.

1224
01:23:48,732 --> 01:23:50,692
- Stop.
- I won't hit you again.

1225
01:23:50,859 --> 01:23:53,654
<i>I begged her, I pulled my hair out,</i>

1226
01:23:53,820 --> 01:23:55,155
<i>I tried everything, in vain.</i>

1227
01:23:55,322 --> 01:23:58,867
She had a piece of paper with a number
on it to contact her sister,

1228
01:23:59,034 --> 01:24:00,285
but she swallowed it.

1229
01:24:00,953 --> 01:24:03,163
It was the only way to find her.

1230
01:24:04,957 --> 01:24:07,125
If she had given me that number,

1231
01:24:07,292 --> 01:24:09,711
I could have called Ghofrane
to dissuade her.

1232
01:24:09,878 --> 01:24:12,798
I would have easily convinced her.

1233
01:24:13,799 --> 01:24:17,219
She was very strong-willed,
you can't imagine how strong.

1234
01:24:17,386 --> 01:24:20,013
She was the incarnation of evil.

1235
01:24:20,973 --> 01:24:24,184
She didn't shed one tear.
She was happy, in fact.

1236
01:24:24,601 --> 01:24:27,271
She was proud that her sister had left.

1237
01:24:28,272 --> 01:24:29,523
She was...

1238
01:24:30,232 --> 01:24:32,234
She wouldn't yield.

1239
01:24:35,112 --> 01:24:37,614
It's hard to describe.

1240
01:24:40,158 --> 01:24:42,119
She had taken away my little girl.

1241
01:24:47,624 --> 01:24:53,297
Everything became dark,
after Ghofrane left.

1242
01:24:59,553 --> 01:25:04,099
I hated Rahma, that day.

1243
01:25:05,309 --> 01:25:08,312
When she left too,
it didn't bother me at all.

1244
01:25:09,271 --> 01:25:12,608
Ghofrane didn't see
how sad I was after she left,

1245
01:25:12,774 --> 01:25:14,776
but Rahma, she saw my distress.

1246
01:25:29,833 --> 01:25:31,043
That's enough.

1247
01:26:03,367 --> 01:26:06,286
Do me a favor, arrest her.

1248
01:26:06,453 --> 01:26:08,121
She is going to join her sister.

1249
01:26:08,288 --> 01:26:10,082
I have all the information.

1250
01:26:10,248 --> 01:26:13,377
She's planned it all
with a people smuggler.

1251
01:26:13,543 --> 01:26:18,715
He is going to give her money
and take her there.

1252
01:26:20,425 --> 01:26:24,513
She wants to take her little sisters,
who are eight and ten, with her.

1253
01:26:29,059 --> 01:26:31,561
- How old are you?
- 15 years old.

1254
01:26:32,938 --> 01:26:34,648
Do you think you are a jihadist?

1255
01:26:34,815 --> 01:26:35,649
Do you?

1256
01:26:35,816 --> 01:26:40,320
I've never claimed to be one.
I work for the Tunisian State.

1257
01:26:40,487 --> 01:26:43,824
- Are you proud? What State?
- I am very proud.

1258
01:26:43,990 --> 01:26:47,369
- We are the State.
- What State are you talking about?

1259
01:26:47,536 --> 01:26:51,289
She has pledged allegiance
to their State of Daesh.

1260
01:26:51,456 --> 01:26:53,208
Their so-called State.

1261
01:26:53,375 --> 01:26:55,210
The Islamic State, please!

1262
01:26:55,377 --> 01:26:56,753
The Islamic State.

1263
01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:59,381
That is my State.
It is the State for all of us.

1264
01:26:59,548 --> 01:27:02,175
You should study
and think about your future.

1265
01:27:02,342 --> 01:27:05,804
- I am thinking about everyone's future.
- Everyone's future?

1266
01:27:06,138 --> 01:27:07,597
You want us to chop off hands?

1267
01:27:07,764 --> 01:27:10,642
Yes, chop off hands, heads, feet.

1268
01:27:10,809 --> 01:27:13,478
It doesn't matter,
as long as we are applying God's law.

1269
01:27:13,645 --> 01:27:14,438
What ambition!

1270
01:27:14,604 --> 01:27:17,566
You are a lost sheep, wake up.

1271
01:27:18,150 --> 01:27:20,277
If I were you, I would take off
that uniform.

1272
01:27:20,444 --> 01:27:21,653
A defiled uniform.

1273
01:27:22,988 --> 01:27:24,656
So I can wear the niqab like you?

1274
01:27:24,823 --> 01:27:26,116
Are you female?

1275
01:27:26,283 --> 01:27:27,409
Female...

1276
01:27:27,993 --> 01:27:28,994
You will see.

1277
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:32,289
- I will crush you.
- Lower your hand.

1278
01:27:32,456 --> 01:27:33,582
Lower my hand?

1279
01:27:33,749 --> 01:27:35,542
You don't have the right to touch me.

1280
01:27:35,709 --> 01:27:38,253
- Get your hand off.
- Shut your mouth when I'm talking.

1281
01:27:38,420 --> 01:27:40,964
Shut up and look at the floor.
Understood?

1282
01:27:41,131 --> 01:27:44,050
- Get your hand off!
- Look at the ground! Shut it!

1283
01:27:44,217 --> 01:27:45,177
Are you happy now?

1284
01:27:45,343 --> 01:27:47,304
I'll throw you into solitary.

1285
01:27:47,471 --> 01:27:49,639
Little shit. Sit down!

1286
01:27:49,806 --> 01:27:51,099
Sit down.

1287
01:27:51,725 --> 01:27:55,896
I will show you how much of a man I am.

1288
01:27:57,147 --> 01:28:00,317
- Get out, while I speak to your mom.
- Get out!

1289
01:28:00,692 --> 01:28:01,902
Get out, I said!

1290
01:28:10,786 --> 01:28:13,371
You want the truth?
There's nothing I can do.

1291
01:28:14,289 --> 01:28:16,541
- What do you mean?
- I can't do anything.

1292
01:28:18,126 --> 01:28:19,461
This is a joke!

1293
01:28:20,337 --> 01:28:22,130
- What did you expect?
- Apply the law.

1294
01:28:22,297 --> 01:28:26,051
I am actually applying the law.
I have to follow procedure.

1295
01:28:26,218 --> 01:28:30,263
I call the prosecutor
and he decides if we detain her.

1296
01:28:30,889 --> 01:28:34,226
If she comes back to blow up
this police station, what do we do?

1297
01:28:34,392 --> 01:28:38,063
Even if she comes back,
there's nothing I can do.

1298
01:28:38,230 --> 01:28:40,941
Have you informed the prosecutor
what she is saying?

1299
01:28:41,107 --> 01:28:42,776
Of course, he knows everything.

1300
01:28:42,943 --> 01:28:47,197
They are everywhere, with their flags.
They preach through loudspeakers.

1301
01:28:47,364 --> 01:28:48,740
The prosecutor sees them.

1302
01:28:48,907 --> 01:28:51,701
Let them burn down the country then.
Nothing can be done.

1303
01:29:01,044 --> 01:29:04,005
<i>On September 10, 2015
the Ministry of Home Affairs published</i>

1304
01:29:04,172 --> 01:29:08,635
<i>the photos of wanted terrorists,</i>

1305
01:29:08,802 --> 01:29:11,137
<i>two of whom are sisters,
Rahma and Ghofrane Chikhaoui.</i>

1306
01:29:14,015 --> 01:29:15,642
<i>Rahma left Tunisia</i>

1307
01:29:15,809 --> 01:29:17,853
<i>with a false passport,</i>

1308
01:29:18,019 --> 01:29:19,354
<i>headed to Libya.</i>

1309
01:29:19,521 --> 01:29:20,397
<i>When she arrived there,</i>

1310
01:29:21,231 --> 01:29:23,400
<i>she married the emir of Daesh
in Sabratha.</i>

1311
01:29:25,110 --> 01:29:26,486
<i>Noureddine Chouchane,</i>

1312
01:29:26,653 --> 01:29:32,284
<i>the man behind the terrorist attacks
which have recently rocked Tunisia.</i>

1313
01:29:41,001 --> 01:29:44,504
<i>They are the ones responsible,
they laid the foundations.</i>

1314
01:29:44,671 --> 01:29:48,550
<i>We've had nothing but problems
since this damned revolution!</i>

1315
01:29:48,717 --> 01:29:52,137
<i>The former minister of Home Affairs,
he allowed all this to happen.</i>

1316
01:29:52,304 --> 01:29:56,182
<i>He allowed the imams to preach
and to indoctrinate my daughters,</i>

1317
01:29:56,349 --> 01:29:59,102
<i>because they were doing it
in public spaces!</i>

1318
01:29:59,269 --> 01:30:03,899
<i>This mother fears that her daughters,
Eya and Tayssir,</i>

1319
01:30:04,065 --> 01:30:08,445
<i>will join their sisters
among the ranks of Daesh.</i>

1320
01:30:08,945 --> 01:30:11,948
<i>They told us that a secular education
isn't good.</i>

1321
01:30:12,115 --> 01:30:17,662
<i>She showed me on Facebook
how they trained children.</i>

1322
01:30:18,455 --> 01:30:20,498
<i>And she made us listen</i>

1323
01:30:21,249 --> 01:30:26,046
<i>to songs about the jihad.</i>

1324
01:30:31,176 --> 01:30:34,179
At the time, after my sisters left,

1325
01:30:34,346 --> 01:30:38,767
my mother went on television
and there was a lot of media attention.

1326
01:30:38,934 --> 01:30:42,896
The Child Protection Officer
called my mother

1327
01:30:43,063 --> 01:30:48,777
to tell her that Eya and I
were in danger.

1328
01:30:48,944 --> 01:30:51,780
Our sisters were likely to kidnap us,

1329
01:30:51,947 --> 01:30:54,616
and we had to be protected.

1330
01:30:55,116 --> 01:31:00,997
He placed us in a juvenile center.

1331
01:31:17,347 --> 01:31:19,683
We arrived at the center by car.

1332
01:31:19,849 --> 01:31:22,644
It was night time
and we couldn't see a thing.

1333
01:31:22,811 --> 01:31:26,231
We went through a big gate

1334
01:31:26,398 --> 01:31:30,193
and I saw a bearded man
wearing a qamis,

1335
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:33,405
as well as a veiled woman
wearing a hijab.

1336
01:31:33,571 --> 01:31:37,450
I thought that the driver
had kidnapped us

1337
01:31:37,617 --> 01:31:41,287
to deliver us to Daesh,
with Rahma and Ghofrane.

1338
01:31:41,454 --> 01:31:42,747
I was scared to death.

1339
01:31:42,914 --> 01:31:46,960
I grabbed Tayssir's hand to escape
as soon as he opened the door.

1340
01:31:47,127 --> 01:31:50,797
Because you think
that I would have followed you?

1341
01:31:50,964 --> 01:31:55,552
Back then, the only thing I wanted,
was to join Rahma and Ghofrane.

1342
01:31:55,719 --> 01:31:59,931
I would have been so happy
to be with them.

1343
01:32:00,098 --> 01:32:03,810
That's all I wanted, at that time.

1344
01:32:04,978 --> 01:32:06,688
The first night, it was hard.

1345
01:32:06,855 --> 01:32:08,982
Yes, it was so tough,

1346
01:32:09,149 --> 01:32:12,318
that first night when you go to sleep
far away from home,

1347
01:32:12,694 --> 01:32:16,489
surrounded by strangers,
in an unfamiliar place.

1348
01:32:16,656 --> 01:32:19,325
And you don't even know
why you are there.

1349
01:32:20,452 --> 01:32:23,455
I had a dream that night.

1350
01:32:23,621 --> 01:32:27,000
My mother was very old,
and people were hitting her.

1351
01:32:27,167 --> 01:32:30,170
Eya woke me up
because I was crying and screaming.

1352
01:32:30,336 --> 01:32:34,174
The next day, after lunch,
I was still sobbing.

1353
01:32:34,340 --> 01:32:38,678
They took me to see the psychologist,
and I was still screaming and crying.

1354
01:32:38,845 --> 01:32:44,476
I spent half the day screaming,
non-stop.

1355
01:32:44,642 --> 01:32:49,355
Imagine the state that this nightmare
had put me into.

1356
01:32:49,522 --> 01:32:54,486
It was when I saw my mother
like that in the dream,

1357
01:32:54,652 --> 01:32:58,198
that I began to change a bit.

1358
01:32:58,615 --> 01:33:00,283
Because in my dream,

1359
01:33:00,450 --> 01:33:04,537
she ended up old and abandoned
because of Rahma and Ghofrane.

1360
01:33:04,704 --> 01:33:07,707
Just thinking about it again,
it gives me the chills.

1361
01:33:07,874 --> 01:33:09,918
I see her again being trampled on
by everyone.

1362
01:33:10,085 --> 01:33:12,796
That night was horrific.

1363
01:33:12,962 --> 01:33:17,133
And it was that night
that I began to change,

1364
01:33:17,300 --> 01:33:19,135
after seeing my mother like that.

1365
01:33:21,179 --> 01:33:25,934
When we first arrived at the center,
we had a very pretty teacher.

1366
01:33:26,101 --> 01:33:27,644
God, she was so beautiful!

1367
01:33:28,061 --> 01:33:30,522
As soon as she moved,

1368
01:33:30,688 --> 01:33:34,692
Tayssir would tell her:
"God doesn't like that."

1369
01:33:34,859 --> 01:33:37,570
She kept her cool
and then she exploded:

1370
01:33:37,737 --> 01:33:40,907
"Enough of your God,
let me work!"

1371
01:33:42,075 --> 01:33:46,079
Tayssir spent her time
lecturing her: "God said..."

1372
01:33:46,246 --> 01:33:49,582
I thought that I was God's chosen one.

1373
01:33:51,167 --> 01:33:53,169
God's little protégé.

1374
01:33:54,170 --> 01:33:56,339
God doesn't accept disrespect.

1375
01:33:56,506 --> 01:34:01,427
"God doesn't accept..."
Get her out, she's starting again!

1376
01:34:02,262 --> 01:34:05,723
It's true, actually.
Back then,

1377
01:34:06,307 --> 01:34:09,811
I was using God as a pretext
to defend myself.

1378
01:34:09,978 --> 01:34:13,731
And when I "abandoned God",
as they call it...

1379
01:34:15,817 --> 01:34:17,735
I found another trick.

1380
01:34:18,153 --> 01:34:22,782
It turned into the Law.
We went from God to the Law.

1381
01:34:22,949 --> 01:34:26,035
And Eya supported me in that.

1382
01:34:26,494 --> 01:34:29,581
We pushed ourselves
and we made the place our own.

1383
01:34:30,874 --> 01:34:34,169
It became our center.

1384
01:34:35,170 --> 01:34:37,422
It was good, honestly,
despite its faults.

1385
01:34:37,589 --> 01:34:38,423
For me,

1386
01:34:39,174 --> 01:34:42,552
the center was one
of the best experiences of my life.

1387
01:34:42,719 --> 01:34:43,803
Why?

1388
01:34:44,262 --> 01:34:48,349
Because before I went to the center,
I was going down another path.

1389
01:34:48,516 --> 01:34:50,768
They changed my life.

1390
01:34:51,269 --> 01:34:53,688
Imagine if I hadn't gone
to the center...

1391
01:34:53,855 --> 01:34:58,401
This film would be
about all of us disappearing.

1392
01:35:02,030 --> 01:35:03,656
<i>Good afternoon everybody.</i>

1393
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:07,493
<i>I want to start today by addressing
the air strike in Libya.</i>

1394
01:35:10,538 --> 01:35:12,040
<i>Overnight, we conducted
an air strike in Libya</i>

1395
01:35:12,207 --> 01:35:15,001
<i>targeting an ISIL training Camp
near Sabratha.</i>

1396
01:35:15,168 --> 01:35:17,837
<i>And Noureddine Chouchane,
a Tunisian national</i>

1397
01:35:18,004 --> 01:35:20,757
<i>who was an ISIL senior facilitator
in Libya</i>

1398
01:35:20,924 --> 01:35:22,717
<i>and associated
with that training camp.</i>

1399
01:35:23,343 --> 01:35:28,473
<i>The two sisters were in Daesh in Libya
and wanted to go to Syria.</i>

1400
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:32,644
<i>The American attack on Sabratha
put an end to their plan.</i>

1401
01:35:33,770 --> 01:35:35,980
<i>Rahma had texted her mother</i>

1402
01:35:36,397 --> 01:35:39,400
<i>to inform her of the situation
in Sabratha.</i>

1403
01:35:39,567 --> 01:35:42,237
<i>I AM LIKELY TO DIE.
PRAY FOR ME. RAHMA</i>

1404
01:36:18,564 --> 01:36:21,693
<i>Our camera was the first
to find Rahma and Ghofrane</i>

1405
01:36:21,859 --> 01:36:23,653
<i>in Mitiga prison in Tripoli.</i>

1406
01:36:26,656 --> 01:36:30,034
<i>We approached the unit</i>

1407
01:36:30,201 --> 01:36:32,287
<i>who arrested Rahma and Ghofrane</i>

1408
01:36:32,745 --> 01:36:34,706
<i>after the Sabratha attack.</i>

1409
01:36:36,958 --> 01:36:40,336
<i>My daughter is five months old.
She is still in Sabratha.</i>

1410
01:36:40,628 --> 01:36:42,463
<i>They haven't brought her to me.</i>

1411
01:36:42,922 --> 01:36:44,257
<i>Her name is Fatma.</i>

1412
01:36:44,424 --> 01:36:46,968
<i>- How old is she?
- Five months.</i>

1413
01:36:48,052 --> 01:36:51,180
<i>It's been two days now
since I last saw her.</i>

1414
01:36:51,639 --> 01:36:53,308
<i>Please...</i>

1415
01:36:54,434 --> 01:36:56,894
<i>Show me the photos.</i>

1416
01:36:57,061 --> 01:36:58,980
<i>What is she like?</i>

1417
01:36:59,147 --> 01:37:02,317
<i>She's so little.</i>

1418
01:37:11,909 --> 01:37:14,078
<i>- Would you recognize your daughter?
- Yes!</i>

1419
01:37:15,538 --> 01:37:17,040
<i>My baby!</i>

1420
01:37:20,293 --> 01:37:22,378
<i>Don't cry, my little girl.</i>

1421
01:37:58,373 --> 01:37:59,957
She is afraid for her babies.

1422
01:38:00,124 --> 01:38:03,211
You know, Kaouther, I am like her.

1423
01:38:03,378 --> 01:38:06,047
They say that a cat...
No, don't scratch me.

1424
01:38:06,422 --> 01:38:09,258
Is so afraid for her babies
that she eats them.

1425
01:38:10,343 --> 01:38:14,555
I was so afraid for them
that I was unable to protect them.

1426
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:17,934
I didn't eat them, but I lost them.

1427
01:38:22,688 --> 01:38:24,982
I've told the whole story in this film,

1428
01:38:25,149 --> 01:38:29,737
to totally put the past behind me.

1429
01:38:30,154 --> 01:38:32,532
Because it is a very painful past.

1430
01:38:33,241 --> 01:38:38,037
A past that has shaped my life
and that of my daughters.

1431
01:38:38,204 --> 01:38:40,331
But I'm even more afraid
of the future.

1432
01:38:40,498 --> 01:38:43,501
- Why?
- It scares me more than the past.

1433
01:38:44,085 --> 01:38:45,503
You're not fed up of being scared?

1434
01:38:45,670 --> 01:38:47,880
In all honesty, what scares me,

1435
01:38:48,464 --> 01:38:53,177
is that I repeated
everything that my mother did to me.

1436
01:38:53,344 --> 01:38:54,971
Almost to the letter.

1437
01:38:55,721 --> 01:38:56,848
Why do you think that is?

1438
01:38:57,014 --> 01:38:58,307
It's a curse.

1439
01:38:59,475 --> 01:39:02,520
That's how I explain it
to my daughters.

1440
01:39:02,895 --> 01:39:06,065
Like she said to you,
she put us through

1441
01:39:06,232 --> 01:39:07,733
everything she went through.

1442
01:39:07,900 --> 01:39:13,114
It's not because she's a bad person,
that's just the way things are.

1443
01:39:13,281 --> 01:39:15,491
She made us go through the same thing.

1444
01:39:15,783 --> 01:39:19,120
We always pass on the education
that we receive from our mothers

1445
01:39:19,287 --> 01:39:21,956
to our daughters,
and so on.

1446
01:39:22,123 --> 01:39:24,876
Until a generation comes along

1447
01:39:25,793 --> 01:39:27,920
that breaks the chain.

1448
01:39:29,046 --> 01:39:33,009
You have to understand
that they are that generation.

1449
01:39:33,634 --> 01:39:36,971
The only one who can come out of this,
is Tayssir.

1450
01:39:37,138 --> 01:39:37,972
Eya too, in part.

1451
01:39:38,139 --> 01:39:40,433
But for Ghofrane and Rahma,
it is too late.

1452
01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:43,186
Ghofrane's daughter,
she will hold her to account.

1453
01:39:43,352 --> 01:39:45,480
She will never leave her in peace.

1454
01:39:45,646 --> 01:39:49,400
Her daughter doesn't know outdoors,
she doesn't know sunshine.

1455
01:39:49,567 --> 01:39:52,195
The curse will continue.

1456
01:40:02,788 --> 01:40:07,043
Jdaida Prison, Libya

1457
01:40:42,954 --> 01:40:45,456
There are so many things
I want to say to them.

1458
01:40:50,127 --> 01:40:51,629
Rahma...

1459
01:40:52,129 --> 01:40:54,715
I can't see myself loving anyone

1460
01:40:54,882 --> 01:40:58,594
with a love as strong
as the one that I had for Rahma.

1461
01:40:59,971 --> 01:41:04,892
She wasn't just my sister,
she was my whole world.

1462
01:41:06,310 --> 01:41:11,399
Maybe I even loved her more
than I loved my parents.

1463
01:41:11,566 --> 01:41:13,276
I really did love her.

1464
01:41:14,110 --> 01:41:18,155
It's true that I was young
when she left me.

1465
01:41:19,282 --> 01:41:24,078
But despite what I've been through,

1466
01:41:24,245 --> 01:41:27,331
the most beautiful period of my life

1467
01:41:27,498 --> 01:41:32,503
is that which I spent with Rahma.

1468
01:41:33,588 --> 01:41:36,173
I would like to tell her:
"I love you so much,

1469
01:41:36,674 --> 01:41:38,342
I will never forget you."

1470
01:41:43,848 --> 01:41:47,935
I can't even say their name out loud,
it's just too painful.

1471
01:41:48,102 --> 01:41:50,021
I cry in silence,

1472
01:41:50,187 --> 01:41:57,153
rather than saying to myself:
"Rahma, Ghofrane, I miss you."

1473
01:41:59,238 --> 01:42:00,865
Sometimes, I'm so mad at them.

1474
01:42:01,032 --> 01:42:04,327
One day, they called from the prison
and Tayssir cried.

1475
01:42:04,493 --> 01:42:06,954
That annoyed me:
"Why are you crying?

1476
01:42:07,121 --> 01:42:10,207
They're the ones who left,
it's their problem.

1477
01:42:10,374 --> 01:42:14,462
Do you want them to come back
and ruin our lives?"

1478
01:42:14,629 --> 01:42:16,922
I regretted those words so much.

1479
01:42:18,799 --> 01:42:21,385
I can't even begin to tell you
how I felt that night.

1480
01:42:23,095 --> 01:42:27,141
You can't imagine
how mad I was at myself.

1481
01:42:27,308 --> 01:42:28,934
It was like I was crazy.

1482
01:42:29,226 --> 01:42:34,440
I spent the night pulling my hair out.

1483
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:38,027
In the morning,

1484
01:42:38,194 --> 01:42:43,449
I hid myself
to throw away the hair I'd pulled out.

1485
01:42:44,241 --> 01:42:48,412
Handfuls of it,

1486
01:42:48,579 --> 01:42:53,542
that I secretly threw in the trash.

1487
01:42:55,044 --> 01:42:57,046
Because I'd said bad things
about them.

1488
01:42:57,213 --> 01:43:00,633
It was selfish to say
that they should never return.

1489
01:43:03,678 --> 01:43:06,180
I know that Ghofrane has a daughter.

1490
01:43:06,639 --> 01:43:08,349
I don't know what she is like.

1491
01:43:10,935 --> 01:43:12,728
I just want to say to them:

1492
01:43:13,396 --> 01:43:17,441
"This family that has destroyed you,
I won't let it destroy me."

1493
01:43:52,935 --> 01:43:56,981
Fatma has been raised in prison in Libya.
She is now 8 years old.

1494
01:43:58,607 --> 01:44:03,863
In January 2023, Libya sentenced Rahma
and Ghofrane to 16 years in prison.

1495
01:44:05,656 --> 01:44:10,286
Olfa, Eya and Tayssir are still hopeful
that Tunisia will repatriate them.

1496
