Outdoors (2017) - full transcript

Do you want to do a tour
and then go into details?

Does it include
the changes we discussed?

Most.

Whether the floor is parquet or concrete
is irrelevant now,

I can change that
with the touch of a button.

Let's go over
the crucial stuff.

Okay.

Unreal...

Do you need a moment?

Yes, just a sec.

Is that me coming home from work?



Yes. maybe...
It could also be a guy from the bank.

If you don't make
your mortgage payments.

So this is the 37 square meters?
- Yes.

Okay.
- It looks great.

Listen, you don't
have to decide right now

how many kids
you'll end up having.

Thanks...

No, no...
But in order to move on, we need

to decide how to divide the rooms.

If we count the security room

and put bunkbeds in Noni's room

then...

e can have six kids.

Why not mattresses on the floor, too?



Wait, no... seven,
if one kid sleeps in our room.

Don't look at me, talk to
the lady in the kitchen.

You know what?
Forget the kids.

There's no way of knowing what your needs
will be when you're 60, either.

Try to think ghat's right for you now,
otherwise there'll be no end to it.

I can make you 20 models,

you pay me enough,

but in the end we'll have
to build only one house.

That's too bad.

Coffee, anyone?

I'm going to make some.

No thanks.

You sure?
- Water, I'd like some water, please.

Great

How do I make this thing move?
- No, don't touch it.

Let me play around with it.

Gili...

Hello there.
- Well, hello there yourself.

How about going up to the bedroom
to think it over?

Think what

How many kids we'll have.

No, the sink is full of dishes.
They won't wash themselves, you know.

They won't g® anywhere, either.

Actually, I probably should sleep on it.

Great.

What's that in your bag?

I'll show you in a mimute, baby.

So, what do you say?

Gili...

What?

Let's tell Daniel
we need a few more days.

Come on, babe,

we said we'd come up here
for the weekend and settle everything.

Then let's just stay
one more night.

Come on, the house will
be amazing, I promise.

I want to get
a few more opinions.

Maybe show it to some more friends.

What for?
So they'll come live with us?

I actually consulted
with a few people,

with...

Benny Erez.

Who?

Don't you remember?
Our stingy landlord on Frishman st.

Who didn't want to fix
the water heater.

His name wasn't Benny.
- Whatever.

He told me to remind you
of his shower.

Really?

Yeah, he said,

hot water is supposed
to come out brown,

it's a pipe thing,
that's the way it is.

Who else did you consult with
without telling me?

Oh, loads of people.
- Really?

The old lady
on Ben Yehuda st.

Shoshi.

Right, Shoshi.

What a woman...

She's not dead yet?

No, she'll never die.

She told me to remind you
about the formica countertop

and the...

huge closet that blocked
our entire bedroom.

Did she say anything about
there being no light in the apartment?

Why?

S dark bad?

No.

Who else did you talk to?

A few others.

Maybe after breakfast?

Okay.

It's great.

Really?

It's written so good
you have to send it already.

The new scenes I added
didn't seem like too much?

Which ones?

Didn't you just read it?

I didn't know
there'd be a test afterwards.

It's great.
You have to send it.

You'll get a budget for this.

Maybe I should just delete them?

No, not again.
You've worked on it enough.

Want me to press "send"?

A budget,

I'll build you a pool here.

Yeah, right...

You'll never build me a pool.

You'll see.

Let's go to the tent.

I'll pay him, honey.

What's wrong?

I can't find the money.

You're kidding me.

I gave you the envelope,
you put it in your bag.

I know, but I can't find it.

T's not here.

Was the car locked?

Answer me!
- Yes, Gili, it was locked.

Then maybe you left it at home?
- No way.

You gave me the envelope
and I put it in my bag.

Let me take a look.

You think I don't remember?
- Let me look!

Okay, chill.

When we left the gas station...

Move. Here it is.

It's all good.

Youssuf agreed to do
the whole work for free.

Com'on..

He went to take a look
at another house.

He'll be back in an hour.

Wanna sit on it
in the meantime?

I'd like to say a few words to Nehemia
and Ruthie, may they rest in peace,

who I didn't get to meet,
unfortunately.

First, to thank you for raising
such a lovely daughter, and...

thanks a lot for the inheritance
you left her.

Thank you so much.

You guys help us far more
than my parents do,

So come visit...

Let's go for a walk

They won't take down the tree.
I can't stay here anymore,

It's giving me a headache.

Com'on, let's go for a walk,

Will we find our way back
or should I leave a trail of banknotes?

Come on.
Look at this.

Wow.

What is this?

Gili, be careful.

There was no engineer with us
when we built this.

Come on.

No way.

I didn't build it on my own,

but the chimney was my idea.
There used to be a fireplace here.

How come you never brought me here?

I don't know.

I knew you'd love it.

How about I fix the place up?

Have my study here
instead of in the security room?

Our house is not even done and you're
already taking over more land? conqueror?

Why? We'll have an extra room.

Why should my study be in the
stuffiest room in the house

when there's such
an amazing view here?

I don't even need electricity.
Just my laptop.

All I need is a table and chair
to write.

Honey...

Why are you stealing their drugs?
Not nice.

So how many guys
have you brought here?

This Juha, for sure.

Juha?!

Wasn't his name Juha?

I have no idea
who you're talking about.

To me, all your exes
are named Juha.

Wait, I'm trying to count.

I'm trying to remember.
- Yeah.

Oh my god.

Gili, it's not like I imagined it.

What are we gonna do
with this ugly wall?

Help me cheer
Mommy up, okay?

What do you think?

You can't really see yet.

I think the house will be pretty.

She knows what she's talking about.

We're here.

How are you?
- Fine.

I'm so happy to see you.
I love your dress

Thank you.

-Hello. -Hi.

Gili? -Yes. Nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

This is Noam.
- Hello.

-Noni. -Hi.

How old are you?
- Seven and a half.

Wow.

I've known your mom
since she was younger than you.

Are you looking forward
to moving here?

Good, you'll have fun.

You can go play outside without
asking for your parents' permission.

Yeah, Noni, we'll finally
get rid of your leash.

Look, this is a bit embarrassing, but you
haven't taken the psychometric tests yet.

But Gili went two months ago
to the institute you sent him to.

Yes, but what about you?

I thought only Gili had to.

No.

Swear I thought
only Gili had to.

You know I was
her teacher in junior high.

Yes, I heard.

So we have connections
in the 'acceptance committee'.

It's really easy.
You'll get it done in no time.

No problem.

Oh, come on, Smadar.

Why do I have to take this test?
You guys know me.

You think we'd let you start
building, if we didn't know you?

Everyone who's building
is originally from here

and they all took the test.

"Explain what you see in the
following picture in three sentences."

It's a boy with a violin, isn't it?

Want to color it in, Noni?
- Stop it.

What? This is bullshit.

Listen, I'll save you the long drive.

Let's sit here for 15 minutes
and do it together, okay?

I'll tell you all the answers.

"Do you consider yourself
a sociable person?"

Come on, just fill it in.

"Are you...

an Arab?"

Haven't changed, have you?

It's not getting any easier.

People are very happy
you're building here.

It was hard to say no
to a price like that.

That's it. Thanks.

I miss your parents so much.

Yeah, me too.

So...

what are you up to these days?

I'm mostly building a house...

And I recently finished my studies.
Occupational therapy.

Really?

That's great.
- Yeah.

What about your art?

I left it behind.
I moved on.

But I'm happy about it. I feel like
a heavy weight was lifted from me.

Lots of people here
are all kinds of therapists.

Yes, I know.

We'll see

how I fit in.
- By the way,

Remember Shani, Varda's daughter,
who was in your class?

Yeah, I know she's building too,
their lot is around the corner.

No. They switched.
They'll be your next-door neighbors.

What do you mean?

The Genosars' boy backed out
and then they switched.

How can that be?

I have no idea.

If you had come to the meeting,
you would've known.

Did you pass?

Sweetie, could you get
my bag from the car?

Yeah.
- Thanks.

You won't believe what happened.
- What?

The world's biggest bimbo
is going to be our next-door neighbor.

What?

Why didn't we go
to that meeting?

You didn't feel like it.
What's that got to do with it?

If I had known,
we would've also switched lots.

Are you out of your mind?

It's not funny, Gili.
- Sorry

Why didn't you tell me
®n the wa, y?

I wanted... I wanted to tell you here.

Are you sure?

How late are you?

Only a week.
But I know it, I can feel it.

But we have to check.

I checked.

And?

An@l I'm telling you I'm pregnant.

Come here.

I'nji afraid it'll all be too
much for us, you know?

We'll be fine. Really.

Can you believe it?

All those people and machines
are here for us?

Yeah..

One hell of a production
we've got going here. -Yes.

Who is it?

Hello?

Who is this?

What do you mean?

Yes, I see.

Oh my god, Gili.

She's standing right in our bedroom.

I'll nod and keep quiet.
- Give her a chance.

I must have looked so stupid...

How did you get my number?

Didn't they give you the contact list?
- Oh, that's right.

Hey.
- Hi.

Wow, it's been years.
- Yeah.

You look exactly the same.
- Really?

I never looked younger?

She was like this in high school.

Sorry, this is my husband Boaz.
- Hi. -Hi.

This is Gili..

My partner.

-Nice to meet you.

I'm so glad
moved to this lot.

Over there you had to build
28 steps to go up to the house.

Damn.

Now we have to replan everything.

We got back from New York two years ago.

O
. How long were you there?

Too long.

It took me five years to realize
I hated it there

and then another two years
to decide, until we left.

I see.
- Yeah...

I never thought I'd come ba@k here.

What about you?

I also never thought
you'd come back here...

No, I meant, what do you do?
Do you have kids?

Yes, we have a daughter
who's almost eight.

Wow
Yeah.

She's totally wow.

Wow.

Do you have kids?

No. We're trying.

That's another reason we came back.

Fertility treatments cost
a fortune there.

I really missed how people here
talk about things openly.

Yeah, huh?
- Yeah.

Well, welcome back.

Thanks.

They're building a prefab house, honey.

Really?
- Yeah.

Aren't you scared?

What, that the house will fall apart?

We were also considering it

but we decided
to go on the safe side.

Concrete blocks?

It's just because
everyone here builds like that.

Prefab houses are very popular overseas.

Yes, but it is more expensive
because it's not as common.

Not up for discussion again.

Forget it.
- Okay.

The feeling inside the house
is totally different.

Yeah?

Well...
- What?

What do you mean, what?

You hardly know them,

why are you taking over
the plans for their house?

No... Sorry.

One, two, three...

Daniel, can you come here for a sec?

We'll just plant a few trees here.

Maybe a climbing plant?

It provides some privacy.

But that won't solve
the acoustics issue.

Now?

T's the OSB.

Now.

One, tw@...

More?

One, two...
- More?

One, two...
- Good job.

I apologize if it sounds stupid,

but this isn't the view
I thought we'd see from this window.

No, it's not stupid at all.
- Okay.

There's no floor yet.
Imagine it'll be 30 cm higher.

Okay, I know. Still.

Why can't we make
this window bigger?

Could you explain?
- It's...

It's possible.
- Yeah?

It's just...
You know, a matter of time and money.

Okay, time we've got.
Let's see how much will it cost.

How exactly do we have time?
We need to close it up before winter.

Then why did we build
a prefab house?

It's not concrete blocks, right?

Give me a saw,
I'll open it up.

Seriously.
- Look, we've already begun construction.

So it means we'd have to stop,

and make a change in your permit,
submit it to the committee...

For 40 cm??
- Yes.

How long will that take?

T could take months.

Damn...

We should've done the entrance
like we first said

and that would've made
everything much more open.

Gili, I'm serious.

Don't treat me
like a little girl!

Daniel, what if we start doing the change

and ask for a permit at the same time?

Huh?

I'm sorry,
that's not the way I work.

Before you get the final permit
an inspector comes here

to make sure everything
was built exactly by the plan.

I can't jeopardize my license.

Can you please tell me
how much it'll cost?

I have to check,

I have to see.
It's work.

I just want to get an idea.

I'd say around 2,000 shekels.

Then what's the big deal?

No, wait.
- I'm sorry.

You misunderstood.
2,000 shekels is only for me.

For my work.
We have to change the plans.

How about aluminium windows
instead of wood?

What...
- It'll cost so much less.

It won't be
the same house.

It'll be totally different house.

Agree with her.

It'll change everything, in terms
of the insulation, the finish look.

Are Marvin windows
cheaper than Andersen?

It's just brand names.

You want to close things outside
and open up inside...

Look, in the end you'll have a house,
you'll put your furniture inside,

you'll live in the house for a while
and see what your needs are.

Get acquainted with the walls.

Don't take it so hard.
Really.

When I bought a new car I was so
stressed out about it getting scratched

that I ended up scratching it myself
just to calm down. It's...

We don't have
that problem with our car.

Talk it over, make a decision
and let me know. -Okay.

As soon as you can.

Okay, thanks.

Thank you.

I told you,
once we move in, we'll get used to it.

Gili, plt^s-e,

don't ever say that again, okay?

We've been planning every detail
for six months.

What happened?

Now I can actually see it,
and I want to make a few changes.

It's not too late.
What's the big deal?

We don't need to.
You just want to.

What do you want from me?

Let's net make decisions
based en hermonal changes.

You are a son of a bitch, Gili.

We don't have the money
for all these games.

I know exactly
how much money we have.

I really don't want to go into this.

All I wanted
was to make the window bigger.

If we start with that,
there'll tee no end to it.

E have a huge deficit as it is.

Deficit?
What are we, a factory?

What doe® this look like to you?

Good thing there's a roof already.

Mom, Mom.

No need to wipe your feet.

We'll have
wooden floors here

as well as upstairs.

Wow, sounds amazing.

And to think of the
cave you live in now...

Yeah... and the thing is,
everything you see here

costs less than a lousy
one-room apartment in the city.

Depends which city.

Yeah, that's true.

They say the houses here

will double in value
within the next few years.

Wait, I don't understand,
where is the kitchen going to be?

Noni, want to show Grandma
where the kitchen will be?

Yeah

I don't know what it's like
to have an open kitchen,

but a window over the sink
is a must.

I don't know if I should go for
the expensive pipes outside.

If there's a problem in the future
it'll be easier to fix, but...

it means investing now
in something that maybe...

I don't know,
I'm no expert.

Okay, but I just
explained it to you now.

I have no idea.
I really don't know what to say.

What's the problem?

What do you mean?

I feel as if...
you want to tell me something.

If there's something on your mind,
just spit it out.

What do you want me to say?

Look, I've lived in a simple apartment
my whole life.

Bedroom, balcony, livinq room.
That's it.

You're moving from a stuffy apartment in
the city center to a palace in the nature.

Okay. So?

So I'm not like you,
living on the ends of the spectrum.

You're a dreamer.

So I don't know
what to say to you.

Say...

What's that got to do
with the pipes?

I don't know.
You asked.

Have I fallen into a trap?

Let's just drop it.

Your mother said you're working
on a new play.

Tell me how that's going.

I'm not into
all these heart-to-hearts.

No, I don't want to drop it.

Because actually...

we wanted to ask you
for some help.

We need help, Dad.

Ahh..

So it's you who's trying
to tell me something.

Noam!

Mom, can I go to the playground?
- Okay.

Already made friends here, Noni?

Yeah.

Careful, sweetie, Don't run there.
- Okay.

Bye, Grandma.
- Bye, honey.

She feels at home
wherever she goes.

T's unbelievable.

E told you
we wouldn't be able to help.

I don't know what to say.

Ask Shiri.
Maybe she can help.

You're sending me
to ask your daughter for money?

What do you want?

When I told you
not to be a fool like me

and to choose a job without a pension,
you didn't understand.

So are you punishing me for
not listening to you 20 years ago?

Punishing you?

Once you realize
the world doesn't revolve around you

you'll be much better off,
believe me.

Is everything okay?
- Yeah.

I'm just a little out of it.

Aren't you feeling well?

Actually...

No way.
- Yes.

I knew it. I felt it.
- Yeah?-Yeah.

But we haven't seen you
in a long time,

so I didn't want to...

And you two always
put on weight in the winter.

No, we didn't put on weight for nothing...

Instead of telling me,
you're talking about mortgages?

Don't start up with that.

Everything will work out fine.

Where's the playground?

Take a left before you get to the gate.
We'll be right there.

Mom, don't say anything to Noni,
we haven't told her yet.

Bye.
- Bye.

She kept staring at my tummy.

Was I supposed to lie to her?

Was I going to hide it from them?!

I just didn't wanted to do
both things together.

It's so unfair
to put them in that situation.

Unfair? He sent you
to ask your sister for money.

Were you eavesdropping?

You know he helped them.

He gave them a loan
because he knew they'd pay it back.

Do you want to go into hi-tech?

E wouldn't be in this situation
if you listened to me.

I'm always willing to compromise.

Maybe because you don't care.

Hold on...

I love what you've done with the house.
- Thanks.

It's amazing.
- Thanks.

Do me a favor,
go tell Yaara.

She needs to hear it.
- Okay.

How about a drink?
- Sure. -Beer?

Gitye m.e a Iwak.
- C®m® ®.r., W;®r'k_wi't'h us.

Gili, we can't return it.
Come on.

All lilsjlii't, t
