3000 Nights (2015) - full transcript

Layal, a young newlywed Palestinian schoolteacher is arrested after being falsely accused and sentenced to 8 years of prison. She is transferred to a high security Israeli women's prison where she encounters a terrifying world in which Palestinian political prisoners are incarcerated with Israeli criminal inmates. When she discovers she is pregnant, the prison director pressures her to abort the baby and spy on the Palestinian inmates. However, resilient and still in chains, she gives birth to a baby boy. Through her struggle to raise her son behind bars, and her relationship with the other prisoners, she manages to find a sense of hope and a meaning to her life. Prison conditions deteriorate and the Palestinian prisoners decide to strike. The prison director warns her against joining the rebellion and threatens to take her son away. In a moment of truth, Layal is forced to make a choice that will forever change her life.

Shut up! Come on.

Get out, move.

What is this? -My hand.

I need to talk to my husband.

Whatever he thinks.

Kuzlica would like a mommy.

So what.

I need to talk to my husband, it's important.

Would you like to guess?

Wink.

Can I talk to my husband?

One soldier was killed. Tell me how.

I do not know.

If you want to go home, tell the truth.

I can help you, but you must help us too.

I won't twist. You have to participate.

You will tell us what the girls are doing

and how they communicate with the world.

Especially the one without an arm.

Farid!

Are you okay?

I'll get you out. - Hurry up, I'm dying.

Why did they arrest you?

There was nothing.

How, nothing?

They asked me about the boy, the checkpoint and the explosion.

Why didn't you tell me? - Because nothing happened.

Who is this guy? -I do not know him.

We have to prove that we have nothing to do with him so that we can go.

How? -I do not know.

Tell them ...

That he threatened you with a knife or something.

He didn't threaten me. - I know, but ...

That's your only option.

Give it to me.

Give me!

Give it to me, it's mine!

Let go, it's mine, bitch!

Shulamit, hit her!

Nora Arabka wants to kill me!

What's going on here?

Kuzl to!

Quiet, girls.

She began.

She stole this.

Fuck you!

Quiet, Shulamit.

Give peace. Go back to your space.

Smuggling messages to Palestinian women.

Ni mogo.e?

Get off.

Come on.

Whore!

Now try to smuggle messages.

Open up!

Open up!

Open up!

I waited for her to tell her.

You're pregnant. Didn't you know?

You can't give birth in prison.

Put her in another cell for her safety.

You will have to get rid of it.

What are you doing here?

Give me your things.

I'm Rihan.

And this is lm Ali.

She has a grandson in a men's prison.

Fadi and adija, God set them free.

These are sisters D amila and Fidaa. They were arrested at the school.

Sanaa is a Palestinian fighter from Lebanon.

He's been here for 15 years.

Why are you locked up?

What were you doing with the warden?

Why did they let you see your husband?

Calm down, Sanaa.

Si lana?

Give her water.

The boys' school was close to ours.

They wanted us to demonstrate with the girls.

Everyone is sleeping.

Twist this.

First, we said ...

We want books, pens and notebooks.

And family visits.

And Fidao and I want to take exams.

And to move us away from those.

Warmer clothes and better food.

Family visits are the most important.

I will die if I do not see Yusef, Samar and Kareem.

What if they get us?

Then we'll know why.

Come on, take it.

Good night.

Take it lightly like this

and press the pedal. Be careful not to shake your hand.

One without an arm is enough.

I'm glad they cut it off for me,

that I don't need to sew military uniforms.

Lajal!

Look what I did. Palestine.

That's how I caress them. - See they can't hear you.

Kar naj me!

You are in your third month, time is running out.

If you want an abortion, I can help you.

I can't decide without a husband.

Vpra.aj ga.

Farid?

Farid.

I have to tell you something.

Nose a sem.

Why are you silent?

What do you mean?

If I'm sure about what? Are you crazy?

Enough.

Review!

Bigger is coming.

To note.

Go through everything.

Pisma?

Letters in my cell?

Who are they for? Why?

D�amila!

Whose bed is that?

Come here.

Come here.

Let me go.

What is it?

Look here!

Did you lose your head?

Doesn't teach you anything?

What about you? What about?

What about?

Won't you talk? Come on, come on!

D amila!

Fidaa, come here.

In return for what did they allow you to talk to your husband?

Are you satisfied?

I'll cut your neck.

I'll give it to you. Enough!

Give me mir!

Don't you have a heart? -Give me peace!

Ubila te bom.

Give me mir.

Stop it!

Can't you see she's pregnant?

Give me mir!

Wait a minute.

Open your palm.

Come on, you're crazy!

Get away from me!

Come see this.

You lost a lot of blood. You have to rest.

Say hello.

If you need anything, give me a call.

My name is Ajman.

Come on, move.

Remember how Mom combed our hair?

Pogre am jo.

Don't tell her.

Right?

I will not.

I'm okay.

This is how she braids my hair.

Arab cunt.

If I cut off my other hand, you know who your father is.

He says you're a bastard.

I know my father and all my ancestors, kuzla!

Let's see what kind of test you're from.

Kuzl to!

Air!

That bitch started.

What's happening?

Where do you think you are? I'll kill you if you don't stop.

I have to get out of here.

Just avoid heartburn.

Who do you mean by that? -Sanai and Ze'evi.

When they cook something, we sled everything.

How am I supposed to have a baby here? What if something happens to him?

What if I die? Who will raise him?

Don't worry, Mom.

Whatever happens, be strong.

�ivjo.

I'm your lawyer, Rahel Steiner.

I tried everything, but they don't want to miss it.

There must be some way.

Don't they know she's pregnant?

You have to tell me everything so I can defend you.

Do what needs to be done.

Lajal has to come out.

Judge, my client is a young woman. She is expecting a baby.

Why would I get involved in such a case?

My clients, and also that guy,

it has nothing to do with the attack.

Bring him.

Lajal Asfur.

The accused threatened you

did he force you to take him in the car?

Answer.

What do you say?

He didn't threaten me.

I didn't hear you, louder.

He didn't threaten me.

Five minutes rest.

Judgment!

Following the court's indictment of a terrorist attack,

interrogated both sides

and heard their testimony,

sentences Lajal Asfur to eight years in prison.

They gave me 48 hours to leave the house.

It was sealed with a red ribbon.

Our visa for Canada will expire.

If I don't leave now,

I will lose him.

Razmi�ljam,

to settle there and find us a home.

Will you let me have a baby alone?

Do you really want to have a child in prison?

You will be imprisoned for eight years. Do you realize what that means?

Eight years!

If you ask me to have an abortion, it will not happen.

Poslu�aj.

I will have a baby and a dot.

If you want to leave, go ahead.

Girls! The letters have arrived.

Go get them!

Im Ali!

Thank God!

Sanaa!

Nothing for me this time too? - So for us?

Im Ali, this one is from Fadi's and Chadi's mother.

Read it to me.

I promise you will be able to get more beautiful.

I want power, I want to be a freedom fighter.

Tie tial ti bo.

How sweet they are.

Are these your students?

Gd . Lajal,

we love you and miss you.

We are waiting for you.

Is that Fadi? - It's Chadi, it's Fadi.

You're beautiful, aren't you? -Yes.

One can be yours. Read me the letter.

Jivjo, Ruti.

Hi, Rachel.

These books are for Lajal and her inmates.

They must be approved by the security service.

Lajalina's mother asks her to be there for the birth.

The answer is no.

Why? -Security.

For God's sake, a little humanity won't kill you.

�love�nosti?

Do I have to remind you how your son died?

Do you think I'll ever forgive them?

that they sent an 18-year-old into a dirty war?

Do you think this is a dirty war?

The woman you are defending has bloody hands.

We cannot adjust the rules for everyone.

But calmly adapt them for Israeli captives.

Are you counseling?

I hope they get them this time.

My heart told me I was going to jail ...

My heart told me you were all going to jail ...

Ena.

Two.

Tri.

Do you see them?

Fidaa!

There she stood!

Quick, give me something.

Fidaa, hurry up!

Fidaa!

Ju lo i ? -Enojaj na sta.

What did you do upstairs? - I saw your granddaughter.

Help me up.

Oh, my back.

They would need a pulley to get you up.

Get up.

Get up.

Call someone to help her!

Get up!

Pokli�ite pomo�!

Again, my cell saved me from death,

rusty minds and become ideas.

On the ceiling I found the face of freedom, an orchard of oranges

and the faces of those who lost their names in battle yesterday.

Again, my cell saved me from death.

After prison, the topic creeps in,

we are not afraid of the night.

After prison, the topic creeps in,

we are not afraid of the night.

For when the night is over,

a world of glory was born.

For when the night is over,

a world of glory was born.

What is wrong?

Just slow down.

Give me my baby.

He's a healthy boy.

We will easily find his family.

Give me a baby.

Give it to me. Give me my baby.

Give it to me.

Just.

Congratulations. What's his name?

Just.

What did you bring us?

Another terrorist? - Stop it, Ze'eva.

As you want, darling.

Give it to me.

How beautiful.

Give it to me to see.

There's a midwife, lm Ali.

God protect you.

Si la en, ljub ek?

You must be tired.

We have a boy! His name is Nur!

There's a midwife.

Don't join.

Look at Grandma.

It's a midwife.

How beautiful.

He looks just like you.

You're a light in Grandma's eyes, darling.

Ali Farid ve?

Did you tell him? - He's aware.

Do you think he'll come back to see his son?

I do not know.

Lajal ...

Ho em, da si mo na.

For Nura.

Our request for release was rejected.

I brought clothes for him. I'll leave them with the security service.

This is forbidden.

Insert this "asur".

"Asur" means forbidden. This is not allowed here.

Do you understand? - Don't touch her.

I love you, Mom. - Take care of yourself, honey.

Do not worry.

Me, me.

I didn't wrap it well.

No problem.

How beautiful it rises.

Greva plavat?

Look, Nur.

How naughty we are. - Look, Nur.

Cold "mom."

Mom.

Mom.

Change your mind. I really have them here.

I'm Aunt Sanaa.

You're right.

Would you like to walk?

Would you like to see your mother?

One, two, three.

Stand, stand!

God bless you.

�ivjo.

How are you?

I'm getting used to motherhood.

Let's go away.

Your po akaj.

Come back in two weeks.

What is? - The baby is sick.

Why did you help me? - Should she let you die?

How did you end up like that?

Lajal Asfur!

What is it?

What do we do then?

And, hudi a ...

So that's what these bugs do.

Who did this?

Who did this?

Who did this?

You, get up. What do you have behind the bank?

Get up!

Get up!

Get up, br!

Who did this? You or her?

Was it you? What are you planning?

Are you texting?

I don't even tell you?

Everything inside!

Let's go inside!

Lets go!

You also!

Everything inside!

Everything in, everything!

Everything, lm Ali!

Louder!

Enough, Ze'eva.

One of us told them about the opening.

I'll find her.

I'm tired of cooking for the guards.

I will poison them.

I'll give it to them!

Just.

Just!

It's a little hot, nothing else.

Your po akaj.

Rub olive oil into his chest and wrap it.

Miracles work, you will see.

That's what my mom started. -Mine too.

That's for Nura.

Give him 5 ml, right?

All the best to Nura, all the best to Nura ...

Babi�in ljub�ek.

One, two ... Well done!

Here you go. - Look how beautiful it is.

Move to space.

O Nur, O Nur, the light in my eyes.

It will grow and enchant me.

Sing Arabic again, and I'll cut off your tongue.

O only, o only ...

On the sixth day, Israelis bomb terrorist targets

in Beirut and southern Lebanon.

At 10.53 the armored vehicles drove into the suburbs of Beirut.

V zdravni kem poro ilu pi e,

that there are hundreds of dead civilians in Lebanon.

Listen. They captured Lebanon and surrounded Beirut.

They cut off the supply of water and electricity ...

Everyone sleeps. - Jump back.

I'll tell you.

We kicked your ass in Beirut.

No chance, bitch.

Hold your mouth!

Come back.

Watch TV.

Let her go!

Wink.

Immediately into the cells.

We have to strike tonight.

Yes, how long will we be quiet?

Not just hunger strikes.

We won't cook for them anymore

in �ivale voja�kih uniform.

Remember prison without trial. Beatings and torture.

Get up!

Pre�tevanje!

Get up.

Get up. What's going on here?

Br�!

Items.

These are our requirements.

Very nice.

What about you?

I'll break your arm!

I'm going to break your arm, okay?

It's all your fault.

I'll show you.

She used to live

�udovita pti�ka,

who flew over the forest every day.

She once saw a galloping white horse among the trees.

When they flirted, they fell in love.

And what did they get?

A cavalry with wings.

I don't know if it's right to have him locked up between four walls.

Come on, girls. What are you waiting for?

Work!

Shit.

Shake your ass.

Delat.

At the end of the invasion, they are in two refugee camps

Israel's allies killed hundreds of Palestinians,

while the Israelites observed.

I saw the horses first,

dead horses, around that white building.

When we got here, maybe 20 meters longer,

we saw women on the floor in torn clothes.

He lay on the ground behind their heads

a baby with a bullet in the head.

Lajal!

Sanaa!

What is it?

Pokol v Bejrutu.

�li so v Sabro in �atilo.

Let me go!

Let me bury my family.

Let me bury my family!

Why did you kill them?

Why did they kill people?

Shulamit, that shit is none of our business.

Hava! Confiscate their books and letters.

Separate them from each other. I can't even breathe to hear them.

You! With me!

Move it. - Where are you taking her?

Just!

Ti ina!

I will enchant you. -Hold your mouth!

You joined the heartburn.

Move, br!

We'll see how you strike here.

Strike, what?

Don't look at her.

Don't be afraid, baby.

Just!

Not yet. Look what I got.

See how beautiful the bird is.

See bird, Nur.

See how the bird flies.

Come on, give it to me.

That's a bird.

Pti ek.

See there.

See.

Your son is two years old now, right?

And.

When a child is two years old, we have to take him away.

Such are the rules.

If she doesn't stop striking, she will lose her son.

Odlo iti dwells.

Do not worry.

Item.

Items.

Ne, stavkam.

For Nura?

This is for you, hide.

I said goodbye.

I will be released in a few days. Take care of yourself.

You also. - I won't forget what you did for me.

Try to avoid problems.

I can use drugs,

but I can't promise to show off.

Take care of yourself and Nura

and tell the women that we have joined the strike.

What is it? What's happening?

Stop making that noise!

What's wrong, Rihan?

They don't let me see the baby. The youngest is very ill.

Ruth threatens to take Nura from me.

Ruthie is ruthless.

We're mom. They will not judge us if we think of children.

What about the strike?

Wake up! Can't you see Sanaa is suffocating us with his strike?

She has nothing to lose, and you have Nura.

753 and 467 called off the strike.

Let them know so you can get a visit tomorrow.

Rihan and Lajal, what are you doing?

Hi, girls, welcome.

People cry at night,

and we do not hear their voices.

The terrorists are still crying at night, but we can't hear their voices.

Stop it, Ze'eva.

Fuck off and stick your tongue out, okay?

Drawn chimney,

from which it is smoked.

And here

nari iva, as it happens.

Nari�i de�.

Get up and draw rain.

I thought you were in Canada.

I had to go back to see you and ...

Nura. His name is Nur.

Comes.

I brought him a present.

Don't you think a child should get out of here?

And right, only?

Come see the real world.

When did you start thinking about him?

He is my son. We need to think about what is best for him.

Did you think of him when you told me to have an abortion?

I was thinking of you.

What kind of place is this for a child?

Did you start preaching to me how to raise a child?

I came because I love you.

Ljubi� me?

Two years ... No letter, no visit. Not a word.

Ljubi� me?

Don't bother. It's too late.

We're done.

I strike again.

You I am in a ra ka.

That's her father.

It's Daddy, it's Mommy, and it's Little Duckling.

Blue.

Let's see what they do at night.

As night fell,

the duck was very hardworking.

When Mom said she needed to sleep,

je la ra ka spat.

Your son must pass.

Just. -Mummy!

Give it to me!

Stop it!

Just!

Just!

Palestinian resistance action

carried out the fighting on the territories occupied by Israel.

A group of saboteurs infiltrated Israeli battle lines

during heavy shelling ...

On.

Ve , da stavkam.

What is wrong?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Because I know I would do anything to get out.

And govori ?

I'm talking about cigarettes. About visits.

And govori paznicam? And govori Ruti o nas?

You're a mom like me. You know how I miss the kids.

Why do you make excuses for children?

I don't know how I could ever trust you.

Are you confused in your rights?

I said goodbye. Ruti will let me go.

At what price?

You know what. I will tell Sanai about you.

Do not you dare!

Ubila te bom!

Away from me.

What kind of noise is that?

Daj, Fidaa.

Pull the rope.

Br�.

Hurry up.

Pull.

Shut up well.

Item!

Item, item!

"Vsesplo�na stavka"

Rihan betrays us.

Don't come near me!

Traitor!

Fidaa ...

Jamila, get up.

D�amila!

With blood and soul ...

Open the door!

Open the door, I say!

I'll show you.

We redeem you with blood and soul, Palestine.

Halo? Rahel ...

We are not afraid.

Stop it!

Gas!

Are you nori?

Have you learned anything from history?

How are you talking to me! - You killed a young girl.

Defend the terrorists.

What are you doing? - I'm defending my homeland.

Don't load.

Enough! Pick yourself up.

Attorney Steiner ... - Don't touch me.

This court order allows me to see the client.

Not possible? - I'll get to her right away.

"The rebels captured six soldiers

I do not care.

Take care of yourself and the girls and Fidao.

Of course.

Im Ali.

I hope they release you soon. Take care of yourself, darling.

You also.

Mama!

Since January 1948, the Israelis have imprisoned more than 700,000 Palestinians.

In November 1983, the PLO reached

the release of 4,765 Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners

in exchange for the six Israeli soldiers captured in j. Lebanon.

There are now more than 6,000 Palestinians in Israeli prisons.

That was the story of one of them.
