Great, now move in a little.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

- Everyone has something to say.

Pick her up like carrying

her over the threshold.

- Great.

- What?

Come here,

come here, it got dirty.

Stop, leave it, stop.

What is this?

Who does that man think he is,

what are we paying him for?

Nice car.

I thought

it would be a nice picture

with him holding her.

You ruined

their evening with your advice.

I did not, come on,

is it my fault he isn't a man?

Say, can I

hire you to take my pictures?

I'm marrying

my boyfriend in a week or two.

There are many

photographers, I'm expensive.

You deserve to be,

you are the best.

How do you know I am the best?

I know a photographers

worth just looking at him.

I am a model.

Wait, you don't believe me.

But you're cross-eyed.

Your mother is cross-eyed.

Wait a minute, I was

only joking, what is your name?

My name is Alice,

the model Alice.

- What did you do to her?

- Nothing.

Give the camera back

or I'll call the police.

Come on, I'll jump.

Go on, break your head,

get run over by a car.

It's better to die,

than be with you.

Do what you want.

What is it Alice?

I want the money.

The money is at home.

It isn't at home,

I looked for half an hour.

If you can find it,

so can the thieves.

So where is it?

Come home, see where it is.

I know, we'll get home

and you'll beat me.

I won't lift a hand

on you, I swear.

Here, Tzadok and Razi

are witnesses.

Would I hit my queen?

Look how nicely

they're taking pictures.

Come here.

- Razi.

- What?

Go on, take a picture.

David Shapira and ltzhak Kol.

Directed by Yaki Yosha

Take a picture already.

Come on, hit her, so she learns

not to run away, the bitch.

What will be okay?

I want my money.

Razi and I made a bundle.

You and your cocaine,

I am tired of your cocaine.

You can barely get up in

the morning, look at your eyes.

What do you want?

It will be okay, help a little.

I don't want to help you,

and I hope the police get you.

Come on, Shimshon.

Let my hair grow for once.

Better you cut my heart.

Stand still, so you

don't have another accident.

Razi, is it true business

at the steakhouse is slow.

You are amateurs.

Not only the police know

you want to sell cocaine.

What are you talking about?

I'll show you

what I'm talking about, idiot.

What happened Alice?

Cutting my hair.

Cutting your hair.

Roger, I'll check outside first.

One day

they will cut you so bad,

only God

will be able to help you.

Come on guys, lets get in

a trick before the war starts.

Why are you shaking?

Oh baby, oh baby.

Oh baby my foot, damn you.

He would come to me every time...

Tell me about his mother,

his boss, his troubles.

They are looking for you.

Hows it going guys, want sex?

Soldiers get a discount.

- How are you Alice?

- Is that you Chezi?

I didn't recognize

you in uniform.

Me and Yossi stole the truck.

Go on, beat it, I am working.

Tell me, where is Shimshon?

I want to surprise him.

Go to

Abu Kabir Prison, yell to him.

- What happened?

- Happened.

Thinks he's

Al Capone, you brother.

- Is their anything I can do?

- Watch your step.

Go on, don't stop me working.

At least one of your family

should turn out normal.

Look Alice,

give me a thousand, I'm broke.

Come on, I can't.

I need a lot of money now

to get your brother out.

It will be okay.

Great.

Go on beat it,

don't keep me from working.

Come on honey,

don't like fat girls?

Here's a sixteen year old.

Come on, a good one.

Come on.

You don't leave us anything.

Come on, lets go.

Never mind, slow day,

one good day, one bad.

- Yes, but what will I do now?

- Never mind.

Hertzel will kill me.

Bitch, that one.

She's rotten from too much sex.

Leave her, she's stressed.

- Stress, stress, but what?

- Enough.

There is enough

for everyone, don't worry.

Here is one, take him, enjoy.

Hurry up, run!

Come on. Give me the money.

Come closer.

- What do I need to do?

- Take down your pants.

Go on, Ilana,

take him before Alice comes.

Come on,

give me another thousand.

- What for?

So we don't stay here all night

while your dick freezes.

Come on,

give it to me, nothing's wrong.

Okay, don't worry honey,

come closer.

Look,

look what a surprise, Alice.

I thought you were on vacation,

when your pimp was in jail.

But you didn't.

You never miss a day.

My wife is pregnant.

I'll be fired.

Go home.

Yaakov.

Look at Alice

running from the police.

Alice, honey, run, honey.

Run so they don't get you.

For Gods sake, let me in.

I'll give you all this.

- Come here, come here.

- Kid, get your hands off me.

What do you think

this is, a market?

Kid, get them off, I said.

You want to deal with me?

Watch this crazy woman till you get to the station.

-Okay.

Thought she could run

from me, the crazy woman.

That's it, we are done,

no whores left in the area.

Tomorrow you can see them all.

You want my opinion?

It is a waste of time.

I know them

since the day they were born.

One like that,

who was born on the road

will die on the road.

Damn television,

you sons of bitches.

You came to film? Fuck you.

- What do you want me to do?

- I don't know.

You can maybe

film the one who's singing.

"I have nothing

but the morning sun above."

I need... if you...

Where is Miri?

Regards to my brother Moshe

who is in Abu Kabir prison.

If this is how things start,

we'll finish this film

during the holidays.

Guys, here, we film in color.

So, he told you?

- He found four.

- You're kidding.

Seriously,

he decided to make a musical,

now he's working on the voices.

Fine, Chaim, I don't have

the patience for your humor.

Tell me why did

they take him off the shelf?

Not they, she.

It was so big,

I don't really know either.

- Hello, how are you?

- Great.

- Shes fine.

- Did you find one?

There is not

a single holy woman in Sodom.

Are you looking for a holy woman,

or, excuse me, a whore?

With all due respect

to television,

I don't believe

you will find a girl who,

but it hasn't helped me.

You want to tell me

that in this whole building,

there is not a single girl

who wants to change?

In this whole town

you won't find one

who really wants to change.

They have nowhere to go back to.

You will always

find them on the street or here.

- Thank you very much.

- What was that?

That is solitary confinement,

they knock three times

when they want to see a warden.

You put girls

in solitary confinement?

What do you think?

This one is worse than a man,

she attacked

a policeman yesterday.

Come on Yocheved, give me

a cigarette, I'm drying up.

No smoking in there.

Wait, go talk to her.

You'll hear from me, you there.

That one knows

only to spit or be spat on.

Sorry.

Go talk to her.

Can't you see

who we're dealing with?

Don't talk to her, it's better

talking to the wall, believe me.

You aren't made of sugar,

right, what happened?

We won't leave without a girl,

right? So go talk to her.

Itzik, Avner,

unload the equipment.

Interview Yocheved, she

probably has something to say.

I am from the... television...

I said I was from...

Yes, I heard

you are from television.

But you have a radio antenna

between your legs.

I am looking for a girl

who wants to rehabilitate...

Fuck you, and bring a receipt.

You... give receipts?

You have never been to a whore, have you?

-No.

For Gods sake,

give me a cigarette.

They dried me up in here.

That's where you piss.

Okay, don't be scared,

I won't spit on you.

Why are you

in solitary confinement?

Somebody could have

prevented me from being arrested.

But he's a son of a bitch.

Is that why

you spat at him before?

Okay, enough, I am not angry

at you any more, you can go.

- But I need to talk to you.

- I have nothing to say to you.

What will you tell your boss

about not getting me to talk?

What boss?

I saw how she pushed

you in before, that bitch.

Okay,

what do you have to tell me?

The Welfare Ministry

conducted a survey,

and discovered the percentage

of girls working the streets

has gone up

over the last two years.

Now, that survey, that report,

leaked to the press,

and leaked to the television.

What do you

want from me? Call a plumber.

But they called me.

Do you have a lawyer

from television?

- Why do you need a lawyer?

- What why, to get me out.

But I can get you out

in ten minutes.

- And you will get money.

- How much?

- Whatever an actress gets.

- How much does an actress get?

I don't know, three thousand,

seven thousand

there are three filming days.

What three days, I make that

in less than half a night.

Who will pay me?

I will, okay? I'll

give you an advance payment.

You need to know that when

you give money to a whore,

you never get it back.

Well, I can't,

I don't want them to see me

like this on television,

that I am a whore.

- They won't recognize you.

- What won't recognize?

We will make you up.

Put on a blond wig...

Your mother wouldn't know you.

I am a model, only last week

they photographed me

in Charles Klor Garden

for "Alpi" fashions.

They gave me a white dress

with a red sash and sequins,

and things,

and flowers in my hair.

I can't, okay?

My brother is in prison,

and I need money to help him.

I can't.

Wait, how will you get me out

of here in ten minutes?

Eight...

Come on,

give me another cigarette,

the clock is ticking.

- This is where you live?

- Yes.

- Right here?

- Up there.

I like the height.

- I am going to buy cigarettes.

- Okay.

Come here,

give me cigarettes, those.

Alice, what are you doing here?

I thought you were in prison.

Go on honey, get out of here.

I told you a thousand times,

I don't want to see you here.

What is it Alice? I'm here

only because you were arrested.

I am going

to my daughter tomorrow,

and I can't even afford

to buy her a cookie.

Fine, go on, go take him.

But then get out of here.

Great, Alice.

Lucky Bruriya isn't here,

she would have killed you.

What, I don't have problems?

He wants you...

I said five thousand,

he said okay.

Never mind, honey, maybe someone

from the old days

will come and remember you.

I've forgotten

more than you know.

When I was young,

they came especially for me,

from Haifa, Beer Sheva.

When you are my age, you will

stand here and remember me.

When I am your age,

I will be far from here.

At your age

I will have a penthouse,

and a Cadillac, and a villa,

And children

who eat cookies all day long.

Too many cookies

are bad for the teeth.

Go on.

God bless you.

Come on, give me the money.

I gave you money today.

There are no whores today,

they are all in Abu Kabir.

You're like glue,

what do you want from me?

What do I want from you?

Nothing.

If it was up to me we wouldn't...

- Wouldn't what?

- Met, wouldn't have met.

But we did meet. Just a moment.

Right, I got you

out of prison, posted bail,

gave you money, and you

leave without saying goodbye.

Thank you for getting me out,

sorry I need to...

When you talked in the cell,

I thought you had self respect.

Don't use such long sentences.

Fine,

I don't have respect, okay?

Because I have a brother

in prison who needs a lawyer.

And I don't have a rich daddy

in Tel Aviv, to give me money.

I have a pussy between my legs,

and it is my mother

and my father and my respect.

Okay?

I spent the money you gave me.

And I only just got started.

- Want a trick for the rest?

- No, thank you.

Well done, I am good enough

for you for television,

but not for a trick.

- What is your name, anyway?

- Yoram.

- Yoram?

- Yes.

Nice name.

Come closer.

- Come on, are you scared?

- No.

Yoram, you are very nice,

but you don't know

what a whores world is like.

You have never even been

to a whore, have you?

- That's what you told me, right?

- Right.

It isn't your world.

You have friends, I am alone.

If they knew I was

on television, they'd kill me.

Understand?

Wait here for half an hour,

I'll give you your money.

Okay.

Wait, why did you pick me,

I'm cross-eyed, aren't I?

- That's why.

- What do you mean?

- Marylin Monroe was also.

- Who?

Fuck patiently, or jerk off.

He thinks this is

a department store.

I really

would like to be an actress,

but I can't, I have to work.

He didn't even come and he

already wants a discount.

Thinks this is

the health service.

Yoram.

Quiet, why are you yelling

in the middle of the night.

Okay, what do you want?

Go on, quiet, go in, go in.

Alice.

Hi Yoram.

- Miri.

- Yes?

- Shes here.

- Who?

The whore.

- Well? Good.

- Yes, it is good.

Miri, can you come over now?

- Now? What for?

- To talk to her.

Sorry.

I didn't know which house

was yours, they all look...

- Were you asleep?

- No, I am never asleep at four.

Come in.

No, I just came

to give you your money back.

Okay, but please sit down.

- How much do I owe you?

- What?

What do you mean, what?

- I don't know, don't remember.

- What's that?

- What?

- The telephone.

That's so they don't wake me.

After you left the clients didn't stop coming.

-Yes?

They stood in line,

like at the movies.

If I make as much every night,

I'll buy a villa in six months,

a year, at the most.

Here, take it. What is that?

Carmen.

Cantorial Music? A woman cantor?

No, Carmen is an opera.

- Carmel.

- Yes, Carmen.

Nice name, Carmel.

There is also Carmel Market.

Yes.

Do you want to eat anything?

No, when I finish work,

I can't put a thing in my mouth.

Is that why you are so thin?

Don't I have a nice body?

- How old are you?

- How old do I look?

I don't know, sixteen.

Seventeen.

What seventeen?

I will be eighteen in a month.

When I'm eighteen,

I'll go to America.

What's that?

I think you should

go to sleep early tonight.

I can't sleep before morning.

But I need to sleep,

I have to film tomorrow.

Go to sleep, who's bothering you?

Yes.

Good night.

From the day I was born,

no one cared about me.

My father was very rich,

even in Iraq.

And he married my mother,

who was pretty, but Ashkenazi.

That's why they didn't

get along, and fought a lot.

And then,

when I was thirteen, she died.

Because she had such

a hard life, and was very sick.

So she died. And then, when I

sat in bed crying all the time,

my father came into my room

and said: "your mother is dead,

you have no one to cry for."

And then suddenly,

he got into my bed,

and started

touching me all over.

I prayed to God

I would die like my mother.

But early in the morning,

while he was still asleep,

I ran away. I ran to Tel Aviv.

I had never

been to Tel Aviv before.

So I walked the streets,

hanging out in stores,

and especially the movies.

I love movie theaters.

At night, I slept in the park,

because it was summer

and still warm.

One day I met Shimshon.

Erase that, okay?

One day I met Shmuel, and he

worked in the Carmel market,

he gave me fruit and vegetables

because I had nothing to eat.

He also bought me

new clothes, and took me out.

That's how love caught me.

One day I found I was pregnant.

So I went to Shmuel

and said, lets get married.

And he said,

"Maybe I'm not the father?"

Yes, that's what he said.

"Maybe I am not the father."

So that day,

I ran away from him.

I walked the streets, because I

needed money for an abortion.

I started walking the streets,

finding one client here

another one there.

And since then I'm

deep inside and can't get out.

Just praying God helps and gets

all the whores off the streets.

And me first.

Cut.

Good, now please

take off the clothes,

so they don't get dirty.

I only talk to him,

he is my boss.

Yoram, come here a minute.

Would you like

to explain to Alice

she should take off the clothes

so they don't get dirty.

What do you mean dirty?

I'll be careful.

Yoram, let me

wear them a little longer.

Is it very important?

I just want to understand.

Yes, it is

important and preferable.

- Yes?

- Yes.

Okay, I'll explain it to her.

Fine.

As soon as possible, right?

Let's ride on the horses, Yoram.

Later.

Move it, move it!

See you, Bruriya.

Come here, you, you.

My husband was with you

a week ago and got syphilis.

I feel like shoving it

up your ass, you Bruriya.

My God, I would never

have recognized you

if you hadn't opened

your dirty mouth, Alice.

- What is this Halloween?

- It's for television.

Those people who were in the jail yesterday?

-Yes.

They took me to their house,

and to the amusement park.

What for?

They filmed me and filmed me.

All day, they filmed only me,

and again tomorrow.

Don't let them

fool you, you hear?

I am no ones fool.

They bought me

all these clothes, suit me?

And how, you look like

a woman in a movie.

Here's Tzadok coming to get you.

I'll go see Shimshon

before they close.

Who's that beauty?

- Alice.

- Alice?

They filmed her for television.

Probably told stories

about all of us, that bitch.

No stories.

You have a dirty mind.

Fine, go.

Go, what are you waiting for.

Damn those television people.

Yes.

Yes, sure. Sure, real smart.

What if one of her criminal

friends, kills her tomorrow.

Did you think of that?

No, so that's why

I'm doing this.

You wanted

to put her in that pig sty?

What will she think of us?

I wasn't talking to you,

Listen, I want you to let me

put her in a hotel.

No, don't get me angry,

I didn't mean the Hilton.

Just a hotel.

No... I don't want... okay...

I don't want to run

after her every night,

discovering her

in a different drug hole.

- Where is she?

- She left.

What left?

Wait, I will talk to you later.

- Where did she go?

- I don't know.

You're joking?

I'm not joking, Miri.

She got into a taxi and left.

Okay, lets go to Abu Kabir

and get another one.

What's the rush to Abu Kabir?

I don't get it.

Maybe she went to change.

Miri, lets wait for her.

Maybe she'll come back.

You're kidding, we film

tomorrow morning, you know?

We waste another two days,

and we can forget the film.

The boss

doesn't care about the film.

- Who cares about the film?

- Me.

- Yes?

- Yes, me.

I care about the film.

It's an important film.

It has an important message.

Only a film like this

will open peoples eyes,

to the problem

of those poor women.

Okay, as the Chief Executive,

I am convinced.

I also convinced him to let

you direct something big.

Is that because you think I am

a good director, or because I...

For the... I could find

something better, believe me.

So could I.

Hi, Shimshon.

- Who bought you that?

- People from television...

They were here yesterday,

and we were all inside.

I was in solitary, and they

got me out, the only one.

They bought me

all this and gave me money.

They want to film me.

- Did they?

- Of course not.

If you are lying to me,

Alice, you will pay.

Why would I lie to you Shimshon?

I went with them

only to get out.

They gave me money,

I got you everything you wanted.

Don't talk to them,

or get filmed, or you will pay.

In four days,

they take me before a judge.

If there is no lawyer

to sweet talk him,

he will keep me here

till the trial.

This is not the original.

I will get you

the best lawyer, Shimshon.

I work and work all the time.

Don't take pills or smoke,

just work and wait for you.

Why did you put that on?

Scared the television people

will say you have a boyfriend

who hurts you if you run away?

You can grow your hair.

This really isn't the original?

Hello.

Yes, one moment.

Yes.

Yes, I remember I have children.

Yes, I even love them,

believe it or not.

Right... right...

I also miss them, a lot.

Yes, no, but let me...

Let me get a word in,

talk a minute.

- Okay, so I will come on Friday.

- What on Friday?

Because I am shooting a film.

Okay, so I...

I will come tomorrow...

One word out of her, and you

are down on all fours.

Look at yourself.

She's the mother of my children.

My dog hasn't eaten in two days.

- I'm going to sleep.

- Yes?

We film tomorrow morning,

be sure everything is in place,

including the girl. Okay? Ciao.

Ciao.

Hello Emil,

I'm sorry I'm a little late.

Remember when you

first met Emil?

Three years ago you met Emil.

Remember where you met Emil?

In the Covshim Garden

you met him, with the Arabs,

the dirt and the market.

I was like a father to you.

Did I let you sleep in my home?

I did.

Did I buy you new clothes?

I did.

Did I post bail for you? I did.

So why do I deserve this?

I came two weeks ago

and you weren't here.

I came a week ago

and you weren't here.

Today you nearly didn't come.

Why, why do I deserve this?

Enough, enough.

Enough.

I didn't come because

they put Shimshon in prison.

And you urgently

need money for a lawyer?

- Yes.

- Okay.

First come here the three times

I waited and you didn't come,

and then

maybe we will sit and talk.

Tenure is the important thing,

everything is taken care of.

You know Sunday,

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

I give a little to Tzadok,

to impress his friends.

And everything...

what is left, to the bank.

How much longer can we work,

three, five, ten years,

and then you get out, and you

know, things are taken care of.

You can buy an apartment,

open a boutique,

Some idiot detective

has come to visit us.

He's from television,

the ones filming Alice.

- Can we help you?

- No, thank you...

Alice, would you come here a moment, please?

-What for?

- I want to talk to you.

- Talk, what's stopping you?

Would you please

come to the car, please?

I only come to the car

for a trick, want a trick?

May I know why Alice

is being filmed, if I may ask?

Stop fooling around,

Tzadok, get in you car and go.

- What did you say your name was?

- I didn't.

Nice to meet you.

Go on, get in the car and go.

I need to talk to Alice.

What do you have

to say to Alice?

What I have to say

to her, I will say to her.

Why do you want to be clever?

Look up, there are clouds.

It will rain soon,

you will get wet, what a pity.

Look up, look.

Tzadok, enough, leave him...

- That was from Shimshon.

- Tzadok.

When he gets out

he will get even with you.

Go on,

go play snooker, let us work.

A whore gets beatings like that

from her man every week.

It isn't worth it, Yoram.

I told you, leave that movie.

It'll only do harm,

to me and you.

Don't let them see us,

or they will kill me.

What I told you this morning,

when they were filming...

It was a lie.

Right, so why didn't

you tell me?

I didn't want to embarrass

you in front of everyone.

Anyway, you lied well.

Why did you lie?

With you, you can't tell if you

are dumb or pretending to be.

Don't use such long sentences.

You, as a father,

if your daughter

became a whore,

what would you do?

I would kill myself.

That's why I lied.

Go on, get up,

you look like Steve McQueen.

- Who is Shimshon?

- My brother.

I told you I had

a brother in prison, didn't I?

You did.

But leave my parents

out of it, okay?

Okay.

Careful you don't fall, honey.

You see that house?

That's the school I went to.

This is my parents house.

Wait a minute, Yoram,

maybe we'll come another day?

No, it will be fine, I will

explain everything to them.

I promise, come on.

Wait, maybe I'll

take off the wig?

No, no, it's great.

You look great.

- Really?

- Yes, you look great, come on.

It will be fine, I'll

explain everything to them.

- Hello.

- It's our Aliza.

Let's go, Yoram, we

shouldn't be here, I told you.

- I will explain.

- There is nothing to explain.

Father is

feeling a little ill, come in.

Alice, Alice...

Please, we are having lunch,

will you join us?

I am from television.

Every week someone comes

and wants to sell a television.

It is about your daughter.

I don't have a daughter.

Here, you see the tools I have

worked with for twenty years,

they don't respond to me.

When I came to Israel,

I kissed the earth, I didn't ask.

They took me

to a camp, I didn't ask.

Financial problems started,

the children rebelled at home.

But they are good children.

In the war... they are great.

But Aliza, my youngest,

Maybe I was a bad father.

So what, a father. I love her.

She always had a dream...

The street.

Fifteen years old,

she left home.

Maybe you can find her a job?

Aliza is a very good girl.

It will be okay.

Get out before you

embarrass everyone.

I hope you

haven't been waiting to long.

Is something cooking?

It seems we came in time.

Nice house, nice.

Who is

this in the picture, Alice?

The ceiling will cause an echo.

Looks like her mother,

right, Yoram?

The fuses will barely

support a candle.

If we want to film here,

we will have to get power

from the neighbors.

It is okay, I will talk to them.

What is it, what is going on?

Is this why you came?

In this line of work,

it isn't age that counts,

I had a client

who paid me to be naked,

and he would strip and ask

me to hit him with his belt.

He cried like a child.

Then he got dressed

and went to run the country.

Careful he doesn't

kill himself laughing.

Doesn’t it

bother you that you are...

Whore, say whore, don't be shy,

it is work, like any other.

I had a client,

a doctor, one day he asked me,

"Why don't you work with me?

Work in the lab."

Would you mind

turning it down a little?

Turn the radio down, please.

Turn down the radio.

I said to him, what is that?

He said, urine and feces.

I said to him, doctor,

it is cleaner to be a whore.

Enough,

some quiet, okay? My head.

Getting arrested

each time, doesn't?

What do I care?

During the war, for instance,

I was in Abu Kabir prison,

and I heard the newspapers

and radio asking for money

for the army.

So I went

to the warden, and told her,

give me just four hours

freedom, I will go work,

bring in a lot of money

for the army.

They can buy a tank,

a plane, whatever they want.

What are you doing?

Nothing,

just charging the battery.

- What is it?

- Nothing.

Yoram, I told the guys

stories, and they filmed me.

- You filmed her?

- Of course not.

- Did you...

- Of course not.

They didn't film.

Of course they did,

he pointed the camera.

They didn't. You aren't

on the street, calm down.

They did film.

It won't be in the movie.

I promise, I decide what is

and is not in the movie.

- Yes? And what is she?

- She is at home.

Sorry.

- You...

- This is an opera, be quiet.

Look at the size of his dick.

Alice, please be careful,

this is a road, okay?

- What do you care about me?

- I care, of course I care.

I called you all yesterday

afternoon, there was no answer.

I was at the dolphinarium.

- Why, had a difficult childhood?

- Not me, Alice.

- What is happening to you?

- I don't know.

Instead of thinking of the film

you are busy courting, Yoram.

Right.

This is not

the time to lose your head.

The boots, aren't they

hot during the summer?

No, I am used to it.

- Yes?

- Yes, it is comfortable.

- You're not wearing a bra?

- No.

No, why,

is something wrong with me?

You're crazy, sit down.

I don't know what is going on.

Why is he filming me?

How fat, what an ass.

She needs a diet, doesn't she?

Idiot.

Go ahead, Aliza.

Hello, nice to meet you.

This is our producer.

Miri, nice to meet you,

we've spoken.

This is Aliza.

Aliza, honey, how you've grown.

She was the best girl

in our institute.

Our institute, Sofia Institute

for rehabilitating

working girls.

- What is it?

- You'll see.

What are you doing here Rachel?

A week ago they brought me here,

said I would be here two years.

Get me out of here, Aliza.

How can I get you out?

Tell your friends

from the television

to get me out.

Okay, I will get you out.

We were told to do a documentary

about problems

of rehabilitation,

you make a drama,

starring that whore.

- You are the only one?

- It is late, everyone left.

So why are you working?

Did you come

for an interview or sex?

Give me the money.

- Here.

- Come on.

- You must make a lot of money.

- Are you from the IRS?

I eat thirty suckers

like you for breakfast.

- Come here, honey, don't be shy.

- Say, can we do it over there?

What do I look like, a color TV?

There are people

there, can't you see?

- Yes.

- Come on, honey.

- Is it clean here?

- Your mother is clean, come on.

Come here. Come closer.

Start, good, good.

You jerk, Yoram,

he has a hard on,

in a minute he would have

tried for real. Damn you.

Would I risk it

with one like this? Come on.

You said to treat

her like an actress, so I am.

I can't concentrate with her,

I can't do this.

Forget concentrating.

What are you, Marlon Brando?

Concentrate, do it over

from the part by the fence.

- I can't do it like this.

- You want me to do it for you?

I don't want to do it.

Smart guy, I said you should use a pro.

-Enough.

Damn your pros.

Enough, he won't do it again.

Right Gideon? Right?

But I don't want to do it,

I left it behind, right?

- Of course you did.

- So I don't want to do it.

What, you don't want to do it?

You don't want to do it?

It is only a film, you idiot.

You did it your whole life,

can't you pretend once more?

You pretend.

It's going to rain in a minute.

Lets do it once more

before the rain, okay? Please.

Please, okay? Okay?

Action.

"We promised in a weak moment,

that if it ended,"

"we would end it nicely.

I know and you know..."

- Thank you.

- Cheers.

Cheers, Alice, your health.

Cheers.

Cheers guys.

Cheers.

No one is drinking with me?

Potatoes, no?

Thank you, thank you.

- Beautiful.

- Who?

She.

- Come work with us a little?

- Much too hard work.

Well get something

for you in the head office,

you have good references.

She could be

a script girl, I swear.

Yes, that is the job.

I have plans

with Yoram, stay out.

I wouldn't recognize her.

I know nothing

about rehabilitation,

and I know even less

after this film,

but I know

a little about filming.

A little.

And after

the last week, filming Alice,

it will be hard to go back

to filming other actors.

I want to tell

you something, excuse me.

I want to tell you a secret.

In high school with me,

there was this girl,

and I was

crazy about her, and she...

I was almost

left back one grade for that,

she didn't pay any attention

to me, never even smiled at me.

It is no secret.

What I want to say is,

the secret is

she looked just like Alice,

only Alice is nicer.

Now, we have here,

I want to give you

a present from the crew,

so you always

know what time it is,

and that you can always

call and come visit.

- Bravo.

- Bravo, Alice.

- Thank you, how nice.

- Right?

What candles!

Put on your yarmulke,

I will say the blessing.

- I want to tell you something.

- Go ahead.

A secret.

Are you serious? What? What?

- Let's make another film, Yoram.

- Film? What film?

Once there were

two good friends,

and they grew up

in the same neighborhood.

One became

a nurse in a hospital,

the other

started working the streets.

One day the one on the streets

had enough

and she ran away from her pimp,

but he ran after her

and cut her face and body,

and dumped her in the road.

Luckily a car came by

and took her to hospital,

she almost died on the way.

So they quickly operated on her.

When she opened her eyes,

she saw the nurse,

and it was

the friend she grew up with.

Nice story.

I want to be the nurse.

I don't want to be the whore.

How did you get in?

- Does he pay you for this?

- Of course not.

- Nice shirt.

- Yes, it's not mine.

Alice, can you get me

a towel from the closet?

No, me, wait, I'll get it,

I want to surprise him.

- Is it late?

- No, I was early.

You scared me.

Why did you give

my good silk shirt to the maid,

- when she is cleaning?

- To Alice.

You call her Alice?

Two days ago

you called her the whore.

What exactly do you want, Miri?

I don't want her here - What?

I don't want her here, enough.

The film is over,

I want her to leave.

Where Miri, where?

This is not something

you use and throw away.

We need to help her, she

can't go back to the street.

I really want to help her.

I made a lot of noise

to make this film, you know.

I let you play around

while we filmed, but enough,

I don't want her here

under my feet.

Somebody

mentioned troubled girls,

and rehabilitation.

I don't care

about rehabilitation,

Yes?

-I won't suffer so you can be nice.

Our luck went with the summer.

Are you coming

to Frankfurt this year?

- Well see, if it works out.

- Lets see you stop, sucker.

What is it,

leave it, it is a taxi.

Probably a woman

looking for her husband.

- Hey, its Alice.

- Dresses like a lady, that one.

Got time off from television,

came to put on a fashion show.

Hi, how are you?

Shimshon has a trial,

I need money for a lawyer.

Didn’t the television

give you money?

They will,

we only finished filming today.

If I don't get money by morning

he will be in till the trial.

Better he stays in

and doesn't come out.

He will kill you.

That's what Tzadok said.

What is it to you what Tzadok

said and didn't say.

Don't just stand there, move.

It is very slow today,

we haven't made anything yet.

A man spends

three million on a car,

but won't pay

five thousand for a trick.

Hertzel will kill me

if I don't bring him anything.

He won't kill you or anything.

Here is someone, take him,

give him a high price.

I don't feel like working now.

Good for you, pretending you

are in Hollywood.

Ilana. Okay, you take her.

- Thank you.

- Slow today.

Okay, fine, I will be okay.

Alice, take care you don't

get in to too much trouble.

You know Bruriya,

I was with them for a few days,

I told them about my life,

and how I feel, on the road,

with all the jerks and fear.

I felt great

next to all those geeks.

You know what I think, Bruriya?

I think

the life we live, is shit.

No one would care

if we lay on the road, dead.

Stop talking nonsense, Alice,

you have really lost it.

You need to decide

if you are here or there.

I am not here and not there.

I am in the clouds.

Look.

You are crazy.

- Alice.

- Hi.

- Hi, how are you?

- Fine, how are you?

- Fine.

- I was here, so I dropped in.

Come in, would you like

coffee, beer, juice, something?

No, I have something personal to say.

-Personal?

Yes, my father is sick,

they took him to hospital.

What is it, something serious?

He needs an operation,

something in the liver.

- Oh dear.

- I need a loan.

- I will pay you back, Avner.

- No, it is okay.

I will get money

from my friends, come in.

No, I will stay here,

I feel uncomfortable.

Okay, so wait a second.

Alice, come here a second.

Hi, how are you?

We, the guys, decided that...

we want to help you with money.

Thank you.

- You tell her, I don't want to.

- You brought her, you tell.

I mean...

We...

They want...

Sex, sex.

What sex?

- No, we want to help.

- Like this?

Alice, but you said

it wasn't a problem for you,

you did it easily.

That's what you think.

You jerks. You don't care, you.

You won't sleep with me

for a million or for nothing.

This is what you do after

what happened all the last week?

What will happen

when you get him out?

Will you go back to the street?

Leave me alone,

you have nothing with me.

You finished your movie,

you don't have to lie any more.

What did you do with your boss?

Have sex in the bathroom?

No, Alice, I was out

half the night looking for you,

that is what I did.

Let's go, I found work for you.

You should go to sleep

early tonight, come on.

Tell that Miri, that if I see

her around I will cut her face.

Fine.

Daddy,

look what mummy bought us.

She looks

a little like me, doesn't she?

She doesn't look

anything like you.

She looks like Erols mother.

Erol must look like his father.

- How is he?

- Fine.

- He is in New York now.

- New York?

He works hard.

-Yes, he has to, with a house like this.

With you I would have

settled for much less.

A pity I didn't feel it when

we were together.

A real pity.

And books, and we have

so many toys I don't remember.

What is her story,

she was a whore, and?

No, no story.

That's it, she was a whore,

now she doesn't want to be one.

- That is it?

- Daddy, look.

That's great. What's your name?

- David.

- And yours?

Yonatan.

David and Yonatan, how nice.

There is a story

about your names, isn't there?

There is a story

about my name too.

You know "Alice in Wonderland"?

Once there was a girl called

Aliza, her name was Aliza.

And she was

a nice and beautiful girl,

and she had very long hair,

and she was

also a very very good girl.

One day her big sister

gave her a candy,

a very very sweet one.

And she, Aliza,

her head started spinning,

and she felt really high.

What is high?

It means she became very small.

And when she was so small,

she fell into a hole

in the road, and fell and fell...

Till she got to a garden...

What can I say?

The most beautiful garden

she had ever seen.

There, she saw

all kinds of animals,

she saw a rabbit,

who was bigger than her.

And she saw all sorts

of other animals, and she saw

a donkey.

- This is a pony, not a donkey.

- A donkey with bangs.

And there were all sorts

of birds with feathers.

What can I say,

she had never seen such colors.

And she played with them,

and was very happy,

and they all became friends.

Suddenly she woke up

and saw it was all a dream.

And she

really hadn't been so small.

Look what nice fish.

Lets throw,

I want to get the fish.

Two fish, I hit.

Be small and come

to kindergarten with us.

Okay, I will try.

Why are you crying?

Because I can never

be small again.

Alice. Come, sit, come.

- Want to drink something?

- No, thank you.

- How was it with the children?

- Great, little devils.

I am glad.

A few more changes

and the film is ready.

Let's go eat ice cream.

Don't give the film

to television, Yoram.

- Fine.

- No, really, don't give it.

What do you mean?

In the cell, you talked

of rehabilitation, right?

- Right.

- What about my rehabilitation?

This film

is your rehabilitation.

So lets make another film,

instead of rehabilitation.

What film?

You changed me, right?

So no one would know me.

- Right.

- You made me into a person.

Well.

-Now I am a person, Alice is dead, and Aliza was reborn.

And she wants to marry,

and she wants children, and,

so don't

give the film, okay, Yoram?

But I can't not give the film

to television, Alice.

Aliza.

Aliza. I am only the director.

Like Avner is in charge

of lighting,

Itzik films,

and Miri is the producer.

What do you want me to do?

But they

didn't talk to me, you did.

- Yes.

- And?

And what?

You talked to me of respect,

you have none.

Thank you.

You are like my pimp.

He would sell me for money,

you sell me for the film.

You would never be with one

who was a whore, right?

Why did you bring

that hair again?

I want you to buy me

a gold ring, and a white dress.

Lets get married, have a baby.

If you have a baby,

how will you work?

Of course I won't work.

So who will work?

Lets open a boutique,

both of us, Shimshon.

This is what Tzadok told me.

You were with those

television people all week,

telling them things.

- Tzadok is a jerk.

- Starting today you go to work.

And give Tzadok at least

ten thousand every day.

And if they film you,

I will cut you up.

Starting today, you will give

Tzadok money every day.

I will be pregnant

and have children.

We were in the room, having sex,

I get dressed,

he gives me fifty dollars,

I was about to go down,

and he tells me to wait,

said: "Come tomorrow

and I will send you

a plane ticket to New York."

- I told you, all men are bad.

- What can I do?

Go on, Ilana, honey,

you have a client, go.

She is busy, can't you see?

You go.

- I can't, you have ruined me.

- Go, go on, go.

- Bruriya, where is Alice?

- Doesn’t work anymore.

Go on, beat it.

Okay, go away, you're

interfering with our work.

Go away, you're in our way.

- What are you doing here, Yoram?

- Looking for Alice.

The film is being screened

in three hours,

it should be

on the way to Jerusalem.

You can look for her

without the film, can't you?

She doesn't want us to show the film.

-She doesn't?

Don't be a child, Yoram.

After her first client

she will forget the film.

She will also forget you.

Miri, leave it, we're not

giving this film to television.

- Who is we?

- Sorry, not we, me.

So you can

start looking for work,

they will fire you tonight.

Go be her pimp.

A pimp,

that is what you will be.

Who is it?

Alice?

No.

It's Aliza.

With

Yehoram Gaon as Yoram

Anat Atzmon as Alice.

Gila Almagor as Miri.
