Broken Mirrors (2018) - full transcript

How was it?

Awesome.

Let me help you.
-No, that's okay.

I'm good.

Hi!
-Shiran!

Shiran, is your mom on the way?

Soon.

It's just that I will be late.

I will call her soon. Don't worry.

You ready? I go fast.

Is it tied tight?



Yeah, see

Okay?

How was it?

Fun, but a bit too chill.

I thought Shiran
was afraid of heights.

Yeah, but Itai's there.

I guess she's over it.

I think everyone gets on the ladder
^just because of him.

And I think Ariel la is into someone else.

What?

Ariella to Ofek 3 Satellite, over.

No way.

You sure? -Yeah.

I think he's into you.
-No...



Don't do that.
-Come on, go for it.

Go for it!

Hey, I saw you looking at me.

You're very direct,
but you're wrong.

But I saw you.

Must've been an optical illusion.

Okay.

If you change your mind,
I'm on that side of the party.

An optical illusion?

Stop it.

I think this is the illusion
you need. -No...

Just a little.
-Yeah.

This one, too.

Here she is.

What a rush.

So, no more fear of heights?

Hallelujah.

It's 11:30,
tell me your mom's on the way.

Ariella, let's go back
with one of the guys.

Please, I really wanna stay.

Yeah, stay.

Itai will take you home later.

I really have to go.

We'll leave in an hour.

Didn't you want to drive?

I can't.

I'll let you drive a bit
on the way back.

I really have to go, okay?

Just a few more minutes.

Don't be such a downer.

Enough! I have to go!

Leave her alone.

Shit.

Hi, this is Ariella,
try to leave a message in...

Its late. She should be available.

Where to?

I'm going to get her

Giora, calm down,
it's not midnight yet.

She will be back and everything
will be alright.

She won't be late.
I promise you.

If she is not here by midnight
I'm going to get her!

Hi, this is Ariel la, try to leave a message
in less than five words

Do you think you could try and call
one of her friends?

Giora..

Hey.
-Hi, Nuchka.

Are you all right?
Why are you late?

I tried to get home as fast as I could.

Ariella, come here, please.

- You were not available..
- My phone was dead.

Ariella!

I said, come here.

Yes father.

Aside from the fact that you are late,

Is there something
you want to tell me?

No, why?
-How did you get home?

Shiran's mom.

I'll ask you one more time,

are you sure?

Yes.

No, no.

I suggest you don't talk back

because you might make things worse.

Is there something
you're not telling me?

No, nothing.

Giora.

Last time.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Okay.

Take your pants off, please.

Giora, what are you doing?

Nava, let me handle this.
Take them off.

Why would you tell me to do that?
-Off.

Giora.
-Nava, stop, please.

Take them off.

Okay.

Put them back on.

Go to the power box
and bring me what you find there.

Ariella.

Reut, sweetie, everything is OK.
Go back to bed.

Go to sleep.

You didn't get it?

Didn't get what, Giora?
There's nothing there.

Okay, get her bag
and spill out the contents.

It's okay, Mom.

There are no secrets in there.

Sadly, I have to punish you.

For what you did

and for trying to hide it from us.

Giora, wait,
you're taking this too far.

Stop it,
this is hard enough as it is.

Where are the red scissors?
-What are you going to do?

I want to find out
why she's spinning a web of lies

and you expect me to applaud her for it?

Did you know your daughter hitches rides
in the middle of the night?

When men

see you

half naked in the middle of the night,

I don't have to tell you
what goes through their minds.

You could've been raped, God forbid!

All that would've been left
was to regret

your irresponsible behavior.

You see this letter?

This envelope contains

the pain of people

whose lives were ruined
because of one mistake.

Actions have consequences.

Now you are going to stay here until 6am

so people can see
what you look like

and compliment you
on your promiscuity.

If you don't pay
for your mistakes,

you'll never learn to avoid them.

Thank you, Dad.

Thank you for punishing me
in order to teach me.

Go to sleep, Nava.

I'll watch over her.

How can I sleep
when she's out there like that?

She's got no limits
and we have to nip it in the bud.

I'd like to know
where your limits are.

Lately it seems you're losing them.

I'm sure she's strong enough
to learn a lesson from this.

What are you doing?

Maybe I'm not strong enough
to stay here and watch this.

Look at that retard.

Good morning.

Good morning, Ariella.

I don't think it's that good.

When's the last time
we synchronized watches?

It's not 6:00 on yours either.

Stop it, Dad. Really.

Really what?

I was very clear when I said 6am.
-One minute to go.

It's one minute to six, Dad,
I want to go to sleep.

You can get a lot done
in one minute.

A lot.

You need to learn the value of time.

And accuracy.

It's when you want something else
that accuracy becomes so important.

Come.

I want to see you make the bed
in one minute.

Go.

Go, go, go, go.

Ariella, I'm starting.

One minute.

40 seconds.

20 seconds.

One minute.
-It's impossible.

It's not impossible.

It's okay.

Try again.

Until you get it right.

Come on.

One minute.

It's okay, lluz will wait,
we have all the time in the world.

What happened?
Show me your hand. -It's nothing.

We need disinfectant
and a Band-Aid.

I'll ask Mom.

All right.

Go to your mother.

Be careful.

It's because you're tired, princess.

Go to sleep, okay?

When you get up
well go to the springs with Reut.

The prettiest girl in school

Has the prettiest eyes in school

The prettiest braid,
the prettiest mouth

And the more you look at her...

Nuchka, sing with us.

Don't call me Nuchka,
you know I hate it.

All right.

It's just that "Ariella"
is long sometimes.

You could've named me Noa.

Noa doesn't suit you.

I wanted Maya.

Why are you going the long way?

For once the gate is open...

I prefer going around.

It's much shorter that way.

But this way is easier.

You know Dad says
this area is off limits.

So for once explain to me why.

Because he said so. -And if he said
there were giraffes in there?

Just goes to show
you only do things his way.

You know very well
I don't do everything his way.

All my friends drove their parents' car
before the driving test.

I can't even ask him to do that.

As if you didn't drive enough
in your instructor's car.

It's not the same thing.

I want to drive
to build up my confidence.

I'll fail the test because of you.

How will you drive?
In flip flops?

Then I'll put on your shoes, Mom.

What if we run into a cop?
Our licenses will be suspended.

A cop,
in the middle of fucking nowhere?

Ariella, if something happens,
how will I face your father?

You see?
-See what?

I see that I see nothing
because of those rocks.

Can you get out and guide me?

Yeah, this road is easier...

I don't believe I'm saying this,
but I'll let you drive on the way back.

Not another word, okay?
Everyone sing with me.

The prettiest girl in school

Has the prettiest eyes...

You already finished a bottle?

Sure, she drinks more
than what she puts on my head.

No I don't.

Ow, It got in my eye! It burns!

Show me.

Just go rinse it out.

Don't put your hair in the water,
it won't work.

Aw, you little brat!

Ew.

Ew.

You had it corning.

Kuti, give me your shirt
so you can go in the water.

She doesn't want us to see her
in a bathing suit.

Really, Kuti?
-Come on, don't be shy.

You're embarrassed
in front of your mom and sister?

Shut up now.
I love this song.

You're Russian,
no way you can do this.

As if you're from Marrakesh...

Mom, call it quits.

Why?
I think I'm doing pretty good.

Aren't I, Ariella?

Your daughter turned out to be a bimbo.

Because your mom is a bimbo.

Nuchka...

Careful, turn the wheel a little.

Like this. -Okay.
-Good.

Careful.

Who wants some more strawberries?

Mom, you're not watching the road.

It's okay, I am.

Okay, let's switch.

You can get out and guide me.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom, Mom!

Mom, get up!

Mom!

Mom, Mom.

Mom, get up.

Come on.

Come here.

Get out.

Faster.

Come.

Help me pick her up.

Come on.

I can't.
-Yes you can!

Call an ambulance.

-It'll be too late by the time they come.

Come on...now, come on.

Come on, 1,2, 3...

Open the door!

Wider!

Help me with her legs.

Okay.

Please, Mom, wake up.

Mom.

You can't park here,
move the car.

Kuti, stay here,
I'll be right back.

Turn her over.
Open the door.

Open the glove compartment, please.

Open it.
-I can't.

Go to the end of the parking lot

Give me the form.

Give this to her.

Give her something to drink.

Give this to your sister.

Hello, can I have a minute?

Is she yours? -Uh huh.

They got here about two hours ago...

Ariella, I'm Gideon,
I'm a doctor.

I just spoke to the medical staff
that's treating your mom.

Ariella, I'm sure you know
your mom is in a coma.

Many people have come out of a coma.

Especially during the first days.

Okay.

Go see your mother.

Go on, Ariella.

It was scary. -I know, sweetheart.
It'll be fine, you'll see.

Come, Ariella.

Take off your shoes
and come to eat.

The food's hot.

There's goulash
that your mom made.

I don't want to eat.

You have to. -Why?
-Because you have to.

Grandma.
-What?

Mom never forces anyone
to eat something they don't want.

I hate to say this,

but that pains me a lot.

That I couldn't teach my daughter in law

that children need some boundaries.

Reut, tell your sister
that I'll let it go this time,

but if she keeps up that behavior
I won't be able to let it go next time.

Ariella, Grandma says...
-It's okay, Kuti, I heard her.

When I'm here, young lady,
I expect you to have some boundaries.

Why aren't you going to bed?

Want me to brush your hair?

Is this okay?

You're gonna get punished,
aren't you?

But you don't have to worry.

Why not?

Because I deserve it.

Reut.

It's all knots anyway.

You were so brave today.

I'm going in.

What are you going to tell his parents?

The truth.

What truth?

That I'm responsible
for what happened.

That I'm sorry.

You don't have to say a thing.

They say they know
you didn't mean it.

That he would've wanted them
to forgive you.

Really?

No, they say that even here you got late.

That you're a coward,
that you won't make it to the front door.

They're wrong.

Even Nava will tell them
that they're wrong.

She can't talk.

You're on your own.

I dare you.

Maybe I didn't park on this level.

There aren't many levels,
well find it in the end.

Maybe I missed the spot.

If we did, well start over.

Just pick up the pace, please.

I can't. I'm tired.

We're all tired, Ariella, let's go.

I'm hungry.

I haven't eaten
since yesterday morning.

Grandma was acting crazy yesterday.
-Ariella, I'm warning you.

At least try to remember
near what color you parked.

I just think we shouldn't leave Reut
alone with her.

Ariella!

Finally. Get in the car,
I'll take you back to the ground level.

My bag is in the trunk.

I know you convinced your mother
to let you drive.

And I know you feel guilty
for what you did.

And rightfully so.

I also know you're waiting
to be punished for what you did.

But the punishment
won't come from me.

I can't think of any punishment
that will help.

I'll find the punishment this time.

This isn't the time for nonsense.

I'm going home to get clothes.

Go to your mother's room
and wait there until I'm back.

Hey girl, Where to?

"Where to?"
Forget that.

We're going to have a barbecue,
you wanna come?

But sit in the middle.

My legs are too long.

Not just your legs.

What's your name?
-"What's your name?" You moron.

Maya.

Explain the game to her.

Okay, listen up, Maya,
these are the rules.

One of us chooses a word, the others
have to sing a song with that word.

Whoever hesitates, gets it.

Stop.

Sky.

My little girl
and a piece of sky...

Under an empty sky...

I can't bear to see

The reflection in the sky

Of your blue eyes...

They're brown, aren't they?

Noam?

You gotta punch him.

Now.

So you get the game?

But since we don't hit girls,

if you lose,
you'll have to take your shirt off.

Elad.

Chill, dude.

I was joking.
I didn't offend you, did I?

Stop.

K. Key.

Key.

A latchkey kid in space

A TV game...
-I know the key word...

If you want

To open the magic door

I will give you a key

Take it and be happy...
-Be a guest.

Be a guest.

Guest, right, sorry.
"Dad"

Well?
-He sang the song already.

You don't do that, moron.

It doesn't count.
-You got the word wrong!

What about her?

I can't think of a song.

You don't have to, he was just...

You have beautiful breasts.

I get why you're so proud of them.

Can I touch them?

So soft.

Touch it Noam.

Touch.

Can I?

Touch.

Oh, shit.

Ew, fuck, dude.
Stop the car.

Pull over!

Fuck, what's wrong with you?
Can't you control yourself?

Get outta the car.

You could've said
you're about to puke.

Fuck!

Get back in.
-Wait. -Get in.

Let's go.
-What about her?

I don't care. Go.

Yuvi, step on it.

Hello?
-Reut

Ariella, where are you?-

I'm here, where are you?

At the hospital.
Where did you go?

How's Mom?

The same.
Where did you go?

Don't worry, sweetie.
I'll be back soon.

When Mom wakes up.

What should I tell Dad?

Kuti, listen to me,

no matter what, don't tell Dad we talked.

It's our secret.

You know he'll find you.

I'll go somewhere
where he won't look for me.

Ariella, where are you

I gotta go.
Kiss on the nose.

Come back to me.

Kid, your bag.

"Private Property!"

Ow!

Shit.

Are you all right?

What do you want?

Stay away.

I just want to get you out.
-Don't bother.

I want to stay here
with this thing on my foot.

Why did you enter this area?

Because there was a sign saying not to.

May I?

Why won't you tell me your name?

Maya.

Maya.

I'm Ben.

I hope you're not
in too much pain.

Pain is a relative thing.

That's one gorgeous fox you caught.

Looks like you caught a girlfriend.
-Yeah, right.

Who the hell is he?

Siton, I'm just getting her out.
-Gimme that.

I'll do it.

Couldn't you put a sign,
"Caution, trap?"

Foxes can't read.

Ben, I'll walk to the greenhouse.

Want me to leave you two alone?

Cool it, okay?

What did I say?

No, I'm coming with you.

Stop!

My shoe is torn!

Stop!

Do you always throw stones
at people who try to help you?

Only when they catch me in a trap.

I'll go get some glue from the house.

Fields spilt in the distance
from horizon to doorstep

And carobs, olives and Mount Gilboa

To its evening the valley succumbs

In beauty never seen before

This is not the same valley

You're not married, are you?

Why do you ask?

Why, I don't look like a married man?

People are always quick to judge.

So you're married?

No. Why do you ask?

Never mind.

five..

In the bitter dust
the asphodel blooms

And on the grass
there is a boy with his dog

The room is lit and nights fall

I need a place to stay
for a few days.

I'm sorry,
you'll have to find someplace else.

We work here,
it's not a hotel.

Then I'll work.

It's farming, it's hard work.

Are you saying that
because I'm a girl?

No.

I don't know many men
who have the endurance to work here.

I'm sure I can endure more than you.

five..

If you can take the heat
longer than me,

I'm outta here.

If not, I start working here.

One...

two...

three...

four...

five..

six...

seven...
-Why are you doing this?

What's wrong with you?

Did I get the job?

It's okay.

Never mind.

It's an old grandpa's remedy.

You mean
an old grandma's remedy.

Tell that to my grandfather.

Let it soak in.

Take the shears.

Cut it
close to the edge.

No, no, no, here.

The edge. Exactly.

Good. Now put it here.

Put the pin
as close to the middle as possible.

A bit more, exactly.

Gently.

Good.

Now you put it in the bouquet,

as close to one another as possible.

Closer.

Right here.

Like this.

Good.

Engineering, special forces,
paratroopers.

You do a lot for the army, huh?

Yes.’

What'll you do
if we ever have peace?

Don't worry.

We have people who succumbed
to disease, natural death, car accidents.

Maya?

It's stifling in here,
I need some air.

Yeah, sure, take a break.

I'm going to get something
for my grandfather, I'll be back soon.

Wait, take this.

I will be back soon.

Five, six, seven..

seven.

One, two, three, four.

I have to go back to work.

I have to go back to the greenhouse,
I have a lot of work to do.

Ben trusts me.

Siton,

I need your help.

Why not ask Ben?

Ben is very special.

You must have noticed that.

He can help you with anything.

Ben can't help me with this.

Have you ever felt

that something hurts so bad inside

that if you don't do something,
your heart will explode?

My body hurts all over.

I can't even talk.

How can I help you?

What are you doing?

What are you doing? No.

I'm no idiot,
I know this is wrong.

Get dressed. No, no.
-Why?

Put your shirt back on.

Put your shirt back on.
This is wrong.

Put your shirt back on.

Look at me.

Aren't you cold?

Flowers must be kept
at a low temperature,

so they don't wilt so fast.

Get dressed, okay?

Touch me.

You don't want this.
-Touch me.

I want you to.

Really?

Please, I need you to touch me.

Where?

Here?

Is this okay?

Wherever you want.

Like this?

Are you teasing me?

Why?

You're teasing me?

Why are you doing this?

Why did you do that?

You want to hurt me?

Is that what you want?

Huh?

Why did you do that?

Take your things.

Take them.

Why did you do that?

Why, just to tease me?

Stay here, okay?
I'm leaving.

Wait a few minutes then leave.

You hear me?

Don't follow me out!

Stay here!

You're mean.
Why did you do it?

Can you help me please?

You can move her arm up and down
in the meantime.

It helps prevent
stiffness of the joints.

You can go outside.
I'll get you when I'm done.

Hey, this is Ariella.

Say whatever you want
in less than 5 words.

Is Ariella here?
-No.

Where is she?

Probably at a friend's.

Why do you think so?
Did you talk to her?

I tried, she won't answer.

Aren't you worried?

She'll be back when she realizes
she's making a mistake.

Reut, did you talk to your sister?

I suggest you finish eating
and I'll stay with her for a while.

I'm sure
you have important things to do.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Maya?

Maya, are you in there?

Maya, stop playing around.

It's dangerous.

It's 2 degrees in there,
you could get hypothermia.

Answer me.

Leave me alone.

Maya,

let me in so I can see you're okay.
I promise, I won't make you come out.

Enough.

I can tell
you're going through something tough.

But it won't help
to sit here and suffer.

Come out now!
You have to warm up.

You want to help?

Then leave me alone.

That's enough. Come.

I want to stay here.

Then I'll stay
and freeze with you.

Siton, get the delivery ready.

We're nearly there.


e have to be quiet.

Did I sleep?

For a few hours.

Are you thirsty?

You want to tell me
what happened?

Why do you have
an M16 on the wall?

My grandpa...

got it from the army
after my dad was killed.

It doesn't shoot, the inner parts
were removed and they casted iron inside.

I understand
if you don't want to talk about it.

I don't mind talking about it.

Sometimes it helps.

Was this his, too?

Yes.

Does it work?

Sure it works.

If you found this tape,

then at least 100 years must have gone by.

I'll describe the pretty girl
sitting next to me

so you know what pretty girls looked like
100 years ago.

Well,

her eyes

are right next to one another.

And her nose is above her mouth.

Sounds weird?

Believe me, it's true.

If you found this tape,

then at least 100 years must have gone by.

What band is this?

Trondheim?

It's a city

in Norway.

It's a broadcast of a game that
our national basketball team played there.

My dad was the captain.

I listen to it a lot.

It's the only recording I have
of his voice.

I want to hear it.

The game was fast paced,
we did everything we could.

I think we played real well.

But they played better.
That's not what counts.

What counts is that we represented
our country with honor.

I think the guys in Jerusalem
can be proud of us

for coming here
and giving our all for our country.

while we're playing,

there are people in Israel
who are keeping everyone safe.

And it's very exciting
to represent them.

I hope we win next time...

Thank you, Ariel Kleinman
from the cadet team. Back to you.

Your voices sound the same.

Yes.

And I'm told
we look alike, too.

You do look alike.

Siton was with him
when he was killed.

My grandpa says
he's messed up because of it.

His commander was promoted.

Otherwise they'd have to admit
that my dad died because of his arrogance.

Did you meet him?

His commander?

No.

And I don't think I ever will.

He's not even sorry.

How do you know?

20 years and he hasn't come here
to ask my grandpa for forgiveness.

And he never answered
the letters we sent him.

Are you all right?

Yes, I...

I'm still very tired.

Yeah...

I'm tired, too.

Good night.

Good night.

I'm going in.

What are you going to tell his parents?

The truth.

How will the truth help them?

Had you arrived one minute earlier when it
happened, we wouldn't have to be here now.

Maybe.

You didn't know a commander
has to be on time?

Ariella?

When's the last time
we synchronized watches?

What?

Hey, it's Arietta. Say whatever
you want in less than 5 words.

Ariella, you're still not answering.

I hope you understand
the situation we're in.

And I suggest

you get a grip

and get to the hospital
or to Grandma's house

by midnight.

Is that clear?

Hey, it's Ariel la. Say whatever
you want in less than 5 words.

Ariella, it's Dad.

I'm terribly worried.

'm begging you,

if you hear this message,

call me.

"Fatal delay - Parents of Ariel Kleinman
blame unit commander for his death"

"Special unit operation gone wrong.
One solider dead."

Want something to eat?

I'm not hungry.

Want some chocolate?

No, I don't want anything.

Reut?

What?

Who are you texting?

What? Nobody.

Reut, when's the last time
you spoke to your sister?

Actually, I do want some chocolate.

All right.

Just a second..

I'm asking you again.

When did you speak to Ariel la?

Before she disappeared.

And she hasn't called you since?

I don't know.

Reut, tell me! When's the last time
you spoke to Ariella?

Dad, I did something wrong.

I lied.
I deserve to be punished.

I'm sure you meant no harm.

Did she say where she is?

She didn't tell me.
I told her to come back.

She said she won't come back
until Mom wakes up.

What?

She said she won't come back
until Mom wakes up.

Get your things, let's go.

Hello there.

Where to?

Inside the farm?
-Whatever.

Oh yeah?

One of those days, I guess.

Giora, I have the coordinates.

Go ahead, Yair.

Reut, put the numbers in
that Yair says.

Hi, Reut, do you hear me?
-Yes.

50-43-31

34-59-34

Did you get that?
-Yes.

Great.

Thanks, Yair,
we're on our way.

Daddy, what are those numbers?

The address Ariella is at.

All set

In 800 meters, turn left.

What the hell is she doing here?

You have reached your destination.

"Arik Ranch - Private Property!"

Hey, it's Ariella. Say whatever
you want in less...

Where is she, Daddy?
Why aren't we going in? The gate's open.

You're so pretty.

Like a seashell.

Shall we get in the back?

Sure.

Sure.

"Dad"

Ariella!

Ariella!

Can you hear me, Ariel la?

Ariella!

Someone like you
should be treated like a princess.

Ariella!

Ariella, do you hear me?
Hold on tight.

Ariella, can you hear me?

Drink a little more.
You're beautiful.

Ariella!

I'm here.

Drink up.

Voila.

I'll take care of everything.

Wait, wait.
-What's wrong?

I've never done this.

Even better.

At first it'll hurt,
then it'll feel good.

Everything is going to be alright.

You're beautiful.

You're so beautiful.

You're beautiful, like a seashell.

You're beautiful.

Why did we stop?

Ariella.

Please.

Where are you?

Ariella!

Ariella!

I'm here, Ariella!

Ariella!

I'm here, Ariella!

Ariella!

Ariella!

Ariella, we're here.

Where are you, Ariella?

Ariella? -What's that?

Fuck.

Ariella, are you OK?

Are you OK?
-Why? Why?

Why? Why did she fall?
-It's okay, it's over, it's over.

I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it.
-I know, I know.

I ran her over.

Ariella, I'm so sorry.

I hope someday
you'll be able to forgive me.

Let me help you.

Let me try and help you.

You don't understand.

It's my fault.

It's all my fault and I'll have
to live with it for the rest of my life.

But I'll help you.

What would you rather do?

Run away from it?

Search for punishment
all your life?

You want to be like me?
Is that what you want?

Ariella, I'm so sorry.
