They want to talk to you.

lt's fine, don't worry.
Everything ls packed.

Staying with me tonight?
l don't know, maybe.
Are you coming, or what?

Ok?
My father.
What are you doing here?
l came here.
First of all,
l wanted to see you.
Something happened?
No, nothing.
Come, sit, drink something.
- No, l want to go.
karen!
l'll be right back.
Why did you come on your own?
l would've picked you up
lf you'd called.
Move on!
Did you take the bus?
- Yes.
l want to talk to you.
- Go on.
Start driving.
Here's where l want to open
my restaurant.
Any news from the army?
No.
Should there be?
Doddy ls coming tomorrow.
- l know.
l want him to run the bar,
so l could work on the restaurant.
We're here.
lf there ls something you want to say,
do lt now,
we are llterally under the house.
Well, look...
But don't stop me,
and let me finish.
So...
l left the house.
l want to tell you Everything,
as simple as possible.
So, l left the house,
but before then...
Before then,
your mom left me.
She...
She found another man, and says
she wants to live with him.
So, l left the house
and came to Tel-Avlv.
What do you mean,
'found another man'?
6 months ago she met an Amerlcan-Jewish
journalist, and fell in love with him.
He covers the flghting in Lebanon
for the Washington Post, l think.
That's lt.
Hello.
Come slt, why are you standing?
What happened?
did anything happen?
No.
l'll tell you.
Let him go back to work flrst.
Well, l'm off.
l'll see you tomorrow.
l covered Noa, her blanket fell off.
- What's wrong?
He wlll tell you.
Any phone calls?
Yes, from the unlt,
the meeting wlll be in Gevlm,
and ldo called.
And some girl asked for you.
l hanged up on her.
l don't want to plck a flght,
but you just hanged up
on Mrs. Shoham.
Who's Mrs. Shoham?
The one who rents out the restaurant.
Your son ls ruining my llfe,
with his chlcks and lles.
What happened?
Could you tell me what happened?
- l don't know exactly,
l just saw a guy slapping karen
in the face,
then smashing all the glasses
on the bar, like that.
Chaos, vlolence.. don't ask.
All the cllents ran away.
karen was lying on the ground
behind the bar.
l think he also klcked her then.
Who's the guy?
- l think his name ls Gldeon.
Yes, Gldeon.
Where ls Abed?
- in the storeroom.
Everything ls going to be all rlght.
He sald he wlll be back Frlday.
Why did he slap her?
- l don't know.
his girl came in looking for you,
and l told her l didn't know
where you were.
And then...
Then the guy asked me
why don't l speak to her nlcely,
like l spoke to her...
And... l told him lt was none
of his business,
and then he slapped me,
and then he went crazy.
And, actually, l did speak to him
nlcely.
l have to get up at mine tomorrow.
My dad ls here, Doddy ls coming...
lt's lucky you didn't arrlve to the bar
when all that mess happened.
lt's going to be fine, don't worry.
You think he wlll be back
on Frlday?
For sure he wlll.
You haven't asked me
where l'm moving to.
To Brurla's, no?
How would you know?
l had a dream last night,
that my bar was smashed,
my mom had a lover,
and left my dad.
What do you mean
that the bar was smashed?
And what about my mom leaving my dad
for a lover...
That seems fine to you?
So what happened at the bar?
Rafl Veinstock and Amnon Levl
held captlve for over two years,
after getting lost
in the eastern sectlon of Lebanon.
Your mates?
- One of them ls.
Maybe that's why ldo called.
Maybe.
So what happened?
At the bar?
This degenerate came in,
plcked a flght and scared cllents...
A mess..
- You know him?
Yes, he's a real crlminal,
an ex-convlct.
All the businesses around
pald him protectlon fees.
So... Wlll you pay him?
- Are you mad?
lf l show him that l'm scared,
he wlll kill my business.
l'm not hungry.
What did he tell you,
my father?
Everything,
just as he told you.
Don't you find lt strange?
- No.
l think lt's much more serlous
than lt looks.
l'll go there with Doddy
and see what's going on.
The kld totally exhausted you...
- Why?
Dad, l'm making a phone call
and we're off.
What's the time?
Where ls daddy? -Hello,
- On the phone -Dining room?
l'm looking for Aml Blderman.
Ok.
Doddy ls coming today.
- l know.
Remember him?
- Of course.
Your uncle.
Hello, Aml, lt's Glora.
l'm fine, llsten...
l want the unlt meeting
to be in my place.
Yes, at the bar.
lt wlll save you, save me,
lt's a win-win.
So you wlll pass lt on,
and l'll take care of my stuff.
Now, llsten,
there ls one more thing...
Slow down, Glora,
what's the rush?
l'm shocked.
- Well, be shocked in the car.
What do you mean,
you don't live with mom?
Are they klds?
- Yes, careless klds.
Why did you ask about mom
like that? Are you mad?
l want to know how my mom ls.
You're nuts.
Since you are here
without mom... just tell me.
Stop, l'll tell you Everything.
Mom has a new guy.
A guy?
- Come on, dad...
A new guy...
That's nonsense.
Doddy and l wlll go there on Saturday,
and flx lt all.
You can't just flx things,
that easy...
Ok, Ok...
Tell us, how ls Rome?
Rome, you know...
Lots of football, terrorlsm,
brlgades and all that stuff.
And lots of Vatlcan.
Your mates...
They offered me to secure 'Alltalla'
with all that terror they have.
A day before l left, an industrlan
in my street was murdered.
2 bullets in the head.
Yeah, lt was in the papers.
A frlghtful photo.
You take a glass,
and lf you pour lt this way...
Who lived in the apartment before?
My friend did,
lt was his love nest.
Then l gave lt to karen.
You see?
Foam.
We must do something about dad.
Well, we're going there on Saturday,
tomorrow l have this...
Look, he ls not well.
Lying on his back all day,
and only ringing you or Sarl.
Or going through my photos from ltaly,
or playing with my cameras.
did he say something about the
greenhouse?
Not a word.
He doesn't care about lt.
l told him to call mom,
to speak with her...
He doesn't even let me call her,
when he ls around.
Well, let's just drop lt.
Let me show you...
To avold foam you bend the glass
this way...
Are you stlll involved with karen?
- A blt.
Why? Are you interested?
Here, then you hold lt stralght,
and the foam ls one cm.
Perfectlon. Now whiskey.
Look, Ballantine's. Are you following?
Johnny Walker,
J&B, Black & White...
- Glora!
Just a second!

Go through the menu with him,

- Yes, from New York.
Well, whiskey...
Yes, you can come,

We'll find out who's the man here.
So come over, bring your entlre

Or 'Sun Franclsco'...
Jin, some vodka...

Go and see what they want.

You put the lce flrst,
so the drink wlll get chllled
What's the dlfference?
There ls, this ls how lt's done.
You know what?
Why don't you show him.
So, the whiskey ls here...
That whiskey again,
l wlll learn lt myself.
Glora!
l'll ask you from time
to time, Ok?
Sure.
lt's your dad.
Hello?
Yes, we're fine, how are you?
He'll be fine, don't worry...
He gets the ldea, yes.
Why don't you come over,
be around people.
So call Sarl.
When did you talk to her?
No, she wouldn't come,
she doesn't like lt here.
Maybe, we wlll see.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Ruth?
Yes, lt's me.
did you just call?
Someone called and hanged up.
From Tel-Avlv,
from the flat that Glora arranged.
Yes. l don't know.
Maybe they wanted Glora,
maybe lt's a girl,
who hanged up when she heard me.
Yes.
Thanks, yes.
lt's all fine here. And you?
l think about you all the time.
And about us.
No, no, lt's not that.
Of course.
That's not hard...
You see?
That l wlll come back?
Ok.
You should come vlslt.
l mlss you.
What?
l mlss you.
What? No. For God sake...
l mlss you, don't l?!!
Yes, l understand.
There's red llght, mlster.
Don't you see the llght?
Are you blind? Are you retarded?
l'm sorry.
- What 'sorry'? l almost killed you.
Just beat lt!
Go slt with your father,
l can take care of lt.
l'll join him in a second.
Flrst you say 'let's party
in Tel-Avlv'...
and now you are leaving?
- So just join me!
Why would l?
We're supposed to party, no?
Leaving already?
l barely drank anything.
Come with me.
What would you want?
Another round.
The girl served you,
l don't...
She had Pina Colada,
l had Chlvas with coke.
Drop the coke,
lt ruins the whiskey.
That's how l like lt,
none of your business!
'Screwdrlver', comes with orange or
grapefrult julce? -Orange julce.
Go slt with your father?
He looks totally lost.
l'll ask Glora to,
he'll be rlght there.
Hello.
- Hey Glora, what's up?
Where are you?
lt's been a long time.
l had reserve duty, you know...
- What a bugger.
lt's mental out there,
trust me.
My dad ls here,
later...
Everyone knows you here...
Come, have a drink with me.
What would you like?
And you?
l'll have frozen vodka,
with some beer.
l'll just have a beer.
- Beer.
Brurla.
Beer, and my usual.
Do you drink a lot?
l try not to.
What do you think about Doddy?
You flt here better.
Why?
Just because...
You know that he ls going
to New York?
No.
- To learn photography.
Tlll he gets to New York, lt could
change to florlstry.
in the meantime l want him
to run the bar.
Why don't you call mom?
Just talk to her.
l've got nothing to say to her.
Then stay with us,
and l wlll flx lt.
l actually want to go back to Nahariya.
l don't like lt here.
Here, now lt's working.
Look at me.
- Stop dad, l have to run.
There ls that unlt meeting at the bar,
l want to take photos.
What, your mates?
No, Glora's,
but l know them.
Aml was my commander too.
Well, you got lt...
Now glve lt to me.
He gets along with them?
He's fine, the ellminatlon
didn't make such a dlfference.
l think lt even helped him,
they admlre him as always.
And how ls he?
He's fine.
What exactly happened in Lebanon?
l've never understood lt.
Glora led a convoy,
and stopped where he thought lt was
too dark and qulte.
He was worrled of an ambush
or mines in there.
So he reported lt to his
dlvlslon commander,
who didn't glve a damn, and sent him
there anyway.
So he went and indeed there were
mines and an ambush,
and people were killed and captured,
don't ask...
The army held Glora responslble
and he was dlsmlssed.
A week ago,
the guy that was his drlver,
was released from captlvlty,
and he ls the only one who heard
Glora talking to his commander,
l hope he ls going to testlfy
about lt.
"The Sliver shoes took
but three steps,
"and then she stopped
so suddenly, that she rolled over,
"upon the grass several times,
before she knew where she was.
"At length, however, she sat up
and looked about her.
"Good graclous!" she crled."
Hello.
- Hello.
Come on in.
did you ask her to come?
Of course, tonight ls
the unlt meeting.
But you know that unlt nights...
Why are you making a scene?
- l'm making a scene?
You know that women are not
invlted to unlt nights.
Stop with the bullshit,
Dina always comes...
Because ldo lsn't a man enough.
- Ok, llsten...
From now on l don't want to know
or hear anything!
Not about unlt nights,
or your dad drlving you crazy,
or your bar being smashed,
now take me somewhere.
Where? -l don't know.
l'm not going to tell the babysltter,
you're not taking me, rlght?!
Have l ever told you
that my dad drlves me mad?
l can't just show up
at this friend's house,
without any notlce, and say that
my husband doesn't want me around.
Stop apologlzing all the time.
lt was a great ldea
that you turned to me.
Let's slt here for a while.
Hey, what's up?
Looking good.
- l'm fine.
Are we the flrst ones to arrlve?
- Yes, Mr Lawyer.
Look, my drlver was just released.
Stop, stop, let's dlscuss
lt later...
l didn't allow him
to take the equlpment.
lt wlll be alrlght.
- lsn't lt your brother? -Yes lt ls.
You have a better beach in Nahariya.
Yes.
Less storms and whlrlpools.
Glora ls in a totally dlfferent
Directlon than what we thought.
At least, from what l thought.
You know,
when he was 17,
he used to take maths
courses in college.
They used to say
he was extremely talented.
Now he seems so
far from lt.
l just want lt all to be better.
That he wlll qult the bar
and all the nonsense,
l am certain that he ls
much better there.
And what about you?
What about me?
How are you?
The truth?
Horrlble.
Just horrlble.
l feel like l have
a hole in here,
in my heart.
like a lump stuck in my throat.
l don't know what to do,
l really don't.
did you speak with her?
She doesn't want to llsten.
The flrst time l vlslted New York,
my Engllsh was really bad.
Not that today lt's that good.
- True, lt's stlll not so good,
so lmagine lt back then.
- Why are you so..?
He ls actually a medlcal doctor.
l landed there, all alone,
l stopped a taxl at the alrport...
Glora, are you coming,
or should l stop the story?
Go, slt with the mates.
- lt's fine, you can go back.
Chat with them a blt.
Anyway, untll l got
the nerve,
and told the drlver
"l want to go to the city",
which my slster taught me to say,
he turns to me and says,
just say 'to the city' (Hebrew),
don't work so hard!
in Hebrew!
l almost fell off my chalr.
l actually sald lt qulte well:
"l want to go to the city".
ls lt true that your dad ls a Chrlstlan?
Yes, who told you?
Doddy, just now.
What made you talk about
my dad?
He ls his dad too...
- Yes, but he ls a secular.
He even worked for the HMO.
No that lt even matters,
'cause our mom ls Jewlsh.
Go to the kltchen.
Come here.
Let's see who's the man here...
Come.
You come.
Very lmpresslve...
You pulled lt off this time...
But l wlll fuck you.
On my mother's grave,
l wlll fuck you!
Son of a bltch!
Shut up, you plece of shit!
Why didn't you shoot lt?
- Shoot lt? l was totally paralyzed.
Do you want to have
a night swlm?
l can't swlm.
Come on, let's make a move.
You know what?
l'm going to see once and for all
what are these unlt nights,
where women are not allowed.
You know that Doddy and Glora
are going to Nahariya tomorrow?
Why don't you come with me tomorrow?
- with them?
No, just us two.
What for?
Just to vlslt the city,
the house, the greenhouse.
We can also go to the beach,
lf you want.
So where did you two meet?
Here, at work.
Who worked here before,
you or her?
How does lt matter to you?
Why did you call me for?
l asked her to.
Bring another vodka, would you?
But in a normal glass.
Wow, what a surprlse!
Where ls everyone?
That's what left.
Hl.
- Hl.
l'm glad you came.
Really?
Wlll you have sex with me?
You're amazing.
l love you so much.
Only me?
Yes.
Llar.
Llar.
lf you asked me, say,
how much ls 423 multlplled by 832,
l wlll calculate lt in my head
in no time,
but this ls not math,
lt's something dlfferent,
Are you llstening?
Mom ls probably angry that l
come just now.
Let her be angry.
You work, what can you do?
Doddy...
Hl
ls anybody home?
No
Flrst of all, call him and tell
him not to come
Why should l tell him not to?
He comes here every day
lt wlll be unpleasant for everyone,
do me a favor and call him
He already left
lt's fine
Arthur ls sensltlve enough
lf he was that sensltlve,
he wouldn't meet us so soon
He whould wait with that
lt's not so simple
l know lt's not simple,
so no need to compllcate lt even more
Was l supposed to lle to you?
How could you lle?
l could have told you lt wasn't serlous,
that lt wlll soon end
So what are you saying?
What do you mean,
what am l saying?
l'm saying that this man
l'm saying that l do have every rlght
Nobody sald that you don't
Don't you think l know
you enough to flgure what you think?
What do l think?
You think that l'm wrong
Wrong with you,
wrong with dad
l think lt's not Ok
- Why?
Think for yourself
- Where are you going?
To the greenhouse
Whose car ls this?
- Her friend's
We're acting a blt like
two robbers, no?
No one wlll catch us, don't worry
Here's Doddy!
Well, Glora probably made
a blg drama in there
Hello, Amnon?
What's up? Welcome back!
Yes, l heard lt on the radlo
the day you arrived
No, l couldn't come,
l'm crazy busy
No
l rarely watch the televlslon
with ldo? Yes
l just want
to sort lt out
Can they take testlmonles
when you are captured?
Who look after the greenhouse?
l do a blt these days
l know that you think that
l am being wrong,
but
Glora always think that Everything ls
simple
He thinks you are acting as lf
lt's all so simple,
and that you take lt all
far too easy,
You really think that
you know Everything
You really do
l'm already 60 and l
for over 20 years,
even more,
for 30 years he goes from the house to
the beach, from the beach to the clinlc,
from the clinlc to the greenhouse
Do you know how 30 years feel?
You think that you are the smartest,
the most sensltlve,
you don't know what happens,
when we go to our bedroom
l don't want to hear that!
l don't!
You know nothing
Both you and your brother
l...
l can't live,
with so llttle
And l don't want
to let go now
l deserve that
Let's go back
Just a moment
Maybe we should go?
l want to go in
What would happen?
What for?
We can stay here a blt longer
lf you want
Do you want to come with me
to the greenhouse?
Just for a gllmpse
Ok
did you happen to see
a small plckaxe?
A small, red one
Let's leave
Come on
Let's go to the beach,
l want to get some tan
l'm going in
- Why would you?
lt's my house, no?
What for?
We served in the same unlt,

Sarl, have you lost your mind?
Hello

How are you?
- l'm fine
Thank you
Would you like to drink anything?
No, thank you
And you?
No, thanks,
l'll help myself in the kltchen

You're not going anywhere
What happened, Bernard?
l wanted to see the house,
l wanted to see you,
that's all
Fine l'll be in the kltchen
l'm really sorry, he just stormed in,
l couldn't stop him

Rlght You shouldn't have
l had to see you
Ok, fine
l'll just stay for a blt and go
No
l want you to go now
Rlght now
- Why?
Because lt's hard for me
- For me too
lt ls harder for me
Don't l look like lt ls?
l can't see you like that
Stop!
Slt down, lt's gonna be alrlght
Why did you do lt?
l can't go on like this
l just can't!
l just can't!
Come, let's go back to Tel-Avlv
l'll take him
- Fine
Doddy and l wlll leave very soon
Where are you drlving to?
Tel-Avlv
You wanted to go to the beach, no?
lt doesn't matter
You wanted to go to the beach,
so l want to go there
Glora says you used to be
a good swlmmer
l used to
Come back in
- l don't want to go in
Don't you see there's enough
drama already?
You always plck the worst time
to run away
Who's running away?
Leave me alone!
l don't want to see this nonsense,
l'm not in the mood for this looser,
nor for mother
Leave me here for a moment
Wake me up in 5 minutes,
so l won't get a sunburn
Go get an ambulance!
lt's crazy, you know
This ls my bed and my room,
and l feel like a guest here now
What can l do?
Nothing
How ls your dad?
- He's Ok
did he find a job?
No, but he's stlll looking
Look, 2 months ago he wanted to dle,
so there's no rush now
Also, there are too many
doctors apparently
Glora stlll inslsts on getting him
back with my mom
Why?
- Why?
Because he likes to organlze everyone's
lives,
He should organlze his own llfe flrst
- That's his llfe
Glve me the clgarette for a second
l just took a shower
- So what, you'll take another one
What's up?
We're not signing the contract
- What?
What you just heard,
she doesn't rent lt out to me
What do you mean she doesn't?
But we agreed
- Nothing was agreed
What do you mean nothing?
He even pald you the deposlt
She ls not obllgated to do anything
l'll explain to you later
How come she's not obllgated?
- 'cause she's not
She can just
pay me back
We didn't sign a contract,
she can do whatever she wants
Look, just as l told your brother,
lf l do rent out the place,
lt would be to you,
l like you,
but l can't
- Suddenly you can't?
Come, come
- But what happened? l don't get lt
My husband passed away 2 weeks ago,
and the family declded not to rent
lt out in the meantime
l'm sorry
- My daughter and her husband,
are coming back from Amerlca,
and l want to speak with them flrst,
before l make any steps
lt wlll work out in the end,
trust me
l'm actually glad lt was postponed
- Why?
l have some more lmportant things
to deal with
What? The army?
- No, l wlll flx that too
Dad l think we should get him
back to Nahariya
l can feel that something wrong
would come out
What are you talking about?
What would he go back to?
Besldes, he doesn't look like
he wants to go back so much,
that man ls stlll there
Mom should klck him out
We should really vlslt her
Do you want to go?
- Want? No But we should
You should slow down with your drinking
- What else do l need to do?
No, serlously
Sometime l feel like
l have a hole rlght here
lt feels like this hole ls screaming,
and lt needs to be soothed
Whiskey does that
Vodka, Cognac
When did lt start?
- When l was born
40 minutes to Jerusalem,
that's my record
The old or the new way?
The new of course, and you?
You make lt in 40
My brother makes lt
in 40 minutes from here
Not from here, from Dlzengoff
to Jerusalem
No way!
There's no chance
Why not?
Let's say you drlve an average
of 180 km per hour
Look, an alrcraft, yeah?
- Yes?
An alrcraft makes lt,
in 15 minutes
250 km per hour -That includes
take-offs, and landings
Amnon!
You look like a model Not like
you were captured for one day even
What's up?
Come, have a drink
- No, need Glora,
we're just back from the north,
we're exhausted
Besldes, Amnon should go
see his girlfriend
But we came here flrst
Why go there? -We're getting married
next week and we barely meet
Mazel Tov, from one jall to another!
You must have a drink
Come
Doddy!
Hey, junlor
- Hey! What's up?
Beers
- As usual -Vodka
l told them Everything l heard on
the two-way radlo
l told them that you reslsted entering
that area,
and that the commander forced you to,
so you had no cholce
Do you stlll work?
- Do l have a cholce?
l think they have all the evldence
that you acted properly
Super-properly even
l told them that lf we didn't go
to where the commander told us to,
but to where you did,
we would have avolded the minefleld
and ambush
They were wrlting lt all down
They have some evldence,
l think,
and they all support your story
l know
Tell me, they didn't think
the prlson has made you crazy
At flrst they did
But then they reallzed
that l'm fine
They thought l was your drlver
your entlre servlce,
and they hardly belleved me that
we only met twlce, or 3 times
They don't keep records there?
l don't know
- Glora, let's do the accounting
did you reduce my salary?
Why doesn't he go to the army
to sort lt out himself?
He doesn't want to get involved,
he thinks that lf he goes there,
and take care of lt,
he would seem like a groveler,
so he lets others flx lt
ldo served with him,
he loves him and wants to help,
He ls in the background,
pulling the strings,
and he looks at the entlre army
like a friend who betrayed him
This ls probably true,
but every time lt comes up,
even when someone trles to help,
lt hurts him all over again
Just leave lt for tomorrow morning
l'm sleeping in the morning
What do l care
lf they left without paying,
You should keep your eyes on them
l'm not paying you for that
But you sald he was your friend
What friend?
Who the hell ls he?
Whoever clalms to be my friend
can just dlsappear?
ls lt your dad's money?
They suddenly left,
l didn't even notlce
Of course you didn't, so how can
you say lt was my friend?
How much you have left?
l have nothing
Nothing!
What are you crying?
Next time make sure your
tables don't vanlsh
Glve her some money,
she worked so hard
We're closing
What are you doing?
Slow down,
what are you doing?
l'm doing what l want to,
and you stay out of lt!
Pull over,
l've had enough of you
Come on, karen
Run after your boyfriend, "honey"
l'm also leaving
- wait
Here
keep your eyes on your cllents
next time
Where do you need?
Drop me home, please
- Sure
Where would l drop me?
Glora!
Glora!
Glora
Glora
You're not falling asleep here
Come, go home
Glora, come on
You promlsed
l was dlsgusting tonight, rlght?
- Oh, yes
Drlve carefully
- Ok
Glora, what's the time?
Around 4 l guess
- What 4, lt's probably 6
Glora, stop lt
Go take a shower,
you smell like cognac and other things
What would l get lf l take a shower
- Nothing
So why would l?
did you see my dad today?
- No
You're not human, you know that?
Can l speak German?
- Yes
l haven't been to a confesslonal
in 30 years
l forgot how lt goes
Could you please help me?
Have you vlslted church?
Do you stlll belleve?
No l've left rellglon,
l've lost my falth
Have you trled to find lt?
- Yes, but not in the rellglon
l was a doctor
l stlll am, but l don't work anymore
l'm retlred
Maybe l've been too absorbed in my work
l feel l've been neglecting
my chlldren's educatlon
l've neglected lt
l have
l haven't been paying
enough attentlon
l feel that l don't belong
in this country,
to the turbulent llfe,
the turbulent emotlons
l feel lt with my chlldren,
who are grown-ups by now,
without me being able
to get closer to them
My family has expanded,
and l see lt falling apart
in front of me
And l cannot keep lt coheslve
l mean, my family,
my klds,
they were born in this country
did you want to talk?
- Yes, Bernard Getter
Andre Deva
l'm a doctor
l wlsh you could help me
Hl
You were worrled he was here?
l was Where ls he?
- in Sldon l think
ldlot What does he
have there?
Please calm down, flrst
- Why would l calm down?
End this stupld business
already,
you're over 60,
you behave like klds
You are being stubborn,
and dad ls just losing lt!
Dad ls not losing lt,
maybe he starts to get used to lt
Now look,
and llsten carefully
You are used to solving things,
at work or in the army,
and l know you're good at lt,
but you can't solve this one,
because lt's lmposslble,
you can't flx people's lives
and more lmposslble even,
your parent's lives
And you don't need to make dad
leave his church
he was born into lt, maybe
lt's good for him to be back there,
maybe lt helps him
He wasn't born here
You weren't elther
But lf someone found the way
to save his soul,
you don't just go there
and burn all his brldges,
lf that's how he saves his soul,
what's the harm?
lt doesn't cause any harm
Glve him a chance
- What chance?
l wlll just hurt him
You won't hurt him,
you'll save him
l don't think so,
but let's wait a blt
Let some time pass, we'll see
He'll see, l'll see
Just relax
You drove to Nahariya and back,
all in 4 hours
Come on
Not 4, 5
And l was there for half an hour
Don't you think you are
over reacting with your dad?
l'm telling you he's getting crazy,
he's becoming a Chrlstlan,
l shouldn't care?
- You sound like an ldlot
Thanks -What do you mean
'becoming a Chrlstlan'?
Flrst of all, he has always been
Second, lt's not a mental dlsease
lt's very slmllar
Daddy, why are we standing?
lt's red
lt wlll become green very soon
Let's count
1, 2, 3
Let's go
l know nothing about this thing
which thing?
- Chrlstlanlty
Glora Glora!
wait a second
Good l bumped into you,
l was on my way to see you
Look, lt's over
They accepted Amnon's testlmony, and
the dlsmlssal wlll be cancelled
Thank you
- Don't thank me
Can you please tell me
what's going on?
They'd probably call from the unlt,
and want you to
They can go to hell now,
l just wanted lt to be sorted
Now they are the ones that look
like prlcks
Well, look,
l got to go now
Goodbye
Goodbye
- Bye, Sarl
You know that you're being
really unfalr with me
You elther lle to me about your trlps,
or just don't tell me anything
Why do l need to learn in the mlddle
of the street that this case,
l've been going through with you for
2 years has been sorted?
Why am l the last one to know?
Flrst, you're not the last one,
Second, l did tell you about my drlver
being released,
he got me clean, that's lt
You didn't
You sald he was your drlver,
nothing more
Ok, l'll tell you at home
You don't have to
lf you don't want to
Have you read the New Testament?
- l just fllpped through lt once
Yes, l know
No, no, there's no sound
- like lt's dlsconnected
Exactly
Yeah, more than 100%
Definltely "El-Al",
they're the best, no?
Yes, l love New York
What are you talking about?
l'm crazy about this city
Yes
Ok, goodbye
When are you leaving?
- in 2 weeks
And the restaurant?
- lt's not for me
- Do you know where wlll you study?
- No, but l'll find out there
There's a guy who works with me
who also learns photography
Look
There's something l wanted to ask
before you leave
l'm going to Austrla,
for about a month,
to vlslt my hometown
So l was thinking we can all go
to mom before then,
to say goodbye
When l worked at 'Bermuda',
they were also brothers,
but 3 of them,
they were always flghting
At the end, no one came there
because of them
l've never seen a place
like the 'Bermuda',
that the owners are flghting,
and the cllents just slt and watch
Eventually nobody went there
What's the time?
- l don't have a watch
l got a feeling lt's just
us two tonight,
Abed also didn't come
Hello
You haven't called for a while
No, no, of course
l'm glad
My place?
How many times have l told you
not to call there
l'm here, just come over
No, no, not today,
l can't make lt
Come tomorrow, and
What happened?
lt's Ok
- What Ok? Look at you
What happened?
l went to vlslt my friend,
who works nearby,
and l was chatting with him,
he's also from East Jerusalem
When l left there to head here,
l was walking down the street,
3 people came to me,
one of them sald:
"lt's Glora's worker",
before l could even run,
one of them klcked me in my leg,
the other brought a stick,
and hit me here, and here,
and in the stomach, while klcking me
Then they finally left,
and one guy sald:
"Tell your boss that Gldeon
sald 'Hello""
That's what he sald, and they left
Son of a bltch this Gldeon
Son of a bltch
Who put your bandage?
l went to the paramedlcs
l want my father to take a look,
he's a doctor
No answer
Do you want to go to Jerusalem?
l'll pay for the taxl
- No, no
l'll stay down here tonight,
and we'll see tomorrow
No problem,
come, come
l'll bring my father tomorrow morning,
and drlve you to Jerusalem lf you want
Thanks
What happened to Abed?
He was beaten up
By whom?
- Abed, where are the main door keys?
lt's by the pan
Glora hasn't arrived yet?
- l'm here from 8
did anything happen?
l called dad
l wanted him to come
Abed was beaten up
by Gldeon's guys
They hit him hard
- So where ls he?
Down here, sleeping
Where's dad? -He's not home
He went to some village near Yavne
Why did he lose there?
- There's this woman he takes care of
Come, let's open the place
Ok
Brurla, you'll take this sectlon,
Naoml, you're over there,
karen, behind the bar as usual,
but alone
Doddy, you'll just go around,
l'll be in the kltchen today,
and girls, no flsh and prawns today,
l don't know how to handle them
Do you even know how to cook?
Yes, l even know that
What's this delay?
l mlssed the bus and had to wait
for 20 minutes
l don't care
Take a taxl next time
- And you'll pay lt?
You think? Just leave 30 minutes before,
and you'll be on time
What does he do in that village?
- l told you
There's this Pollsh lady,
probably Chrlstlan, he treats her
There's another lady,
at lchllov hospltal,
and another one in Jaffa,
he goes there every day
What would we do?
l don't know
Nothing, l guess
He's an old man
He also wants us to go
to Nahariya
Hello
Excuse me, do you know
where Delvo lives?
Hello, l'm Getter's son,
they told me at church that
Come in, come in
How can l help you?
Would you like to drink anything?
l just turned the kettle on
No thanks
- So come in, l'll be rlght there
Yes?
l'm looking for my father,
do you know where he ls?
did you come from Nahariya?
No, l live in Tel-Avlv,
my parents did
they live there
- Oh, l thought your dad was a wldower
That's what he sald?
- No
He only sald he was alone
Can l ask you something?
- Go ahead
Flrst of all, how should l call you?
Father? Brother?
Just call me Delvo, lt's good enough
l am a father though, a prlest
Aren't you supposed to wear a black gown
and white collar?
l don't always wear that,
only during servlces
lt's been 20 years, things have changed,
we no longer wear gowns
How long have you been here?
- 20 years
Many people turn to you?
- There are some, not many
Here lt ls
l'll go get him
Do you only have women?
Doddy sald there's a woman
in the village,
another one at the hospltal
There are a few women,
old ones
From Poland
They moved here with thelr
Jewlsh husbands,
and then became wldows
So they turn to Delvo
for help
They start to think about the village,
where they came from
To think about thelr mothers
They want to say the prayers,
as they used to
Look, only 500 people convert
to Judaism per year
There are hardly 10 converslons
to Chrlstlanlty
Do you remember your mom's prayers?
l remember her praying,
but no,
l don't remember them
Go see him, he's down there,
l'll join you in a moment
How ls he?
Not well, not well
Who did that?
Just this guy
There's a broken rlb here,
lf not 2
l didn't get any sleep,
l can barely breathe
He can't just lle in here,
he should go to the hospltal
l offered that yesterday -Could you
put me in a taxl to Jerusalem?
Now? Of course l can
lt's dangerous
You'll be in pain all the way there
Much pain
- My uncle works in a hospltal there
He's my mom's brother
He'll take care of me
ls he a doctor?
- A very lmportant one
He's the head of the department
l'm off l'll be back late
- Hush, why are you shouting?
You'll wake the girl
- The girl ls awake
Forgot to tell you,
Abed got into trouble,
so l got to find someone else
- Ok Ok
Goodbye
ls anything wrong?
Nothing's wrong,
absolutely nothing
And you can be back
whenever you want,
even tomorrow, l don't care
Hello?
Bernard?
- Yes?
Sarl's speaking did l wake you up?
No, no, lt's fine
Look, Bernard,
l need you to do me a favor
Yes
l wanted you to go to our place
and be with Glora when he's back
Sorry, l didn't get lt
Look, l
l'm not at home,
l left
What? Where are you calling from?
From Dina's
l just want someone be with him
so he wouldn't do things
wait, wait, what?
You broke up?
No, no Look, Bernard,
l just left,
l had to be away from home
for a while
But l don't want him to follow me here,
and make a scene
So l'm asking you to explain to him
that l should rest for a while,
and so should he,
with his intense llfestyle
Dad, what are you doing here?
Where's Sarl?
l knew lt!
l knew lt We actually closed
early tonight
She left a note here
Do you know where she ls?
Yes, she called me
At Dina's?
- Yes
l'm going there
wait a moment
wait a moment!
wait
Glora! Glora!
Don't go there
She asked that
- So she did
She went there just for a while
Let her rest for a while
lf you're going there now,
lt wlll only make lt worse
Then lt would be much harder
to flx lt, trust me
Let's go drink something,
and l'll see
We actually know all the
bars owners
After work l come here,
or go to another bar,
Sometimes they come here
in Tel-Avlv you can just
party 24/7
Really?
- Some bars are open tlll the morning
You can go now,
l'll be fine
l don't trust you
lt could go on tlll the morning
That's fine
Look
l stlll want to go see her
l'll be there for 10 minutes,
and get back to you
Don't go there, llsten to me
Talk to her tomorrow morning,
lt's better
lf you go there now,
you'll wake everyone up
Her, her friend,
Noa
lt wlll end badly
Llsten, lt wlll be alrlght
Don't go
lt's fine, l only go to chat with
the bartender
What's up?
- lt's all good
What about you?
We're good
Tell me, did you see Gldeon?
He was here last night
his slster ls getting married today
l'm looking for him
Be careful
Trust me, l saw him doing some things
to people
You don't want to know
At the age of 17 he's already killed
someone
Now look,
He was just released from prlson,
he wants to rebulld his reputatlon
He does things recently,
that even crlminals don't accept
He wanders around a lot?
As usual
Thanks
Can l buy you a drink?
- Yes, yes
You'll have a drink with me?
- No, thanks
But you drink too much
and too fast
What do you want?
That l wlll slt here,

and l'll drink slowly,
like l'm having a good time?
Here you are
- Slt down
Meet my father
Nlce to meet you

Let's go home,
l'm tlred
lf you're getting off now,
l'm going to Sarl and making a scene
Why don't you treat me now
Can l get off?
lt's my house here
No one ls getting off this car now
How do you know l shouldn't
go to her now?
Go there, and force her to
come home with me?
Maybe she ls in bed now,
thinking lt's all over?
Maybe l'm losing her at this
very moment?
l'll regret llstening to you,
for the rest of my llfe
And l'm telling you that l belleve
that she wants to rest
So let her rest!
Have l ever told you what to do?
You never have
"Never"
lf anyone has, lt's been mom
And l don't think she wants to rest
Who?
Sarl Come
Let's go to mine
Not now, next time
Come on, come to mine
Not tonight
l don't want to do lt here!

All of your nights are like that?
Yeah, kind of
Apart for the beating
lt ls so ugly
What's ugly?
All these beatings
of you and your friends
Just so fake, all this men's friendhood,
your language, and your drinking
That's not the problem,
but lt could end up
with a dead body
End up how?
with a dead body
You don't belong here
Too nolsy,
too Dirty,
Nahariya, Austrla
They flt you better
lf you think this place flts you
so well, you're wrong
lf you were as happy as you try
to show you are,
lt wouldn't be so tough for you,
you wouldn't drink that much,
and you would have time for
yourself and for your family
That's the time of the day, that the
blg sinners return from thelr nights,
and the blggest saints get up,
to pray, to exerclse,
Do Chrlstlans also get up
so early?
Some do,
some don't
How much do l owe?
Can l tell you something?
And not because l was
drinking all night
l'm l'm not drunk
l want to tell you something
from my heart
Go ahead

that you're not ending things with mom
lt doesn't start or end this way,
and l know what l'm talking about
Second

That l don't buy this whole thing of
running to save all these slck people
And l hate seeing you
doing that
l hate that you run
to church, to Delvo
lt all seems a blt mad to me,
and l don't buy lt
l really hate lt
You know when you say "hate",
like you just did,
you look like a beast
You really get ugly
You hate me sometimes, don't you?
Sometimes l look at you,
and lt feels like l don't know you
Sometimes lt feels like
l don't know anyone
l don't know your
mother sometimes
Come, let's go
l made a mlstake
l should have gone and see Sarl,
l told you
l'm going in
wait for me

l'm waiting in the car
wait a second
Dear god, bless the grave,
of our brother, Bernard
By the glory of your face,
through Chrlst, our lord Amen
"From the following sentence,
which l found,
"that was probably wrltten,
by someone better than me
"l'm trying to find the rlght,
and simple thing to say,
"which l wlsh l could wrlte
on my own:
" 'God, show us the way,
as we do not understand our own hearts
" 'As we do not know what we shall want,
" 'As we get further away,
from our own deslres
"And finally, instead of a signature,
"l am attaching a photo of myself
which l accldently took,
"l think lt ls funny,
"although at the exact second,
lt ls fear that was captured "
What was this quoted sentence again?
"God, show us the way,
as we do not understand our own hearts
"As we do not know what we shall want,
"As we get further away,
from our own deslres
And what came after that?
"instead of a signature l am attaching

Who said that?
Are you mad?
Why did you call my house?
Glora!
Ok, stop. They need me.
Fine. Goodbye.
l heard you. What do you want?
i only have two hands.
What?
They want to talk to you.
- Hi, what's up?
Come out for a second.
Now? Don't you see l'm alone today?
l've got time, l can wait.
Who's that guy?
He looks really bad.
- He is bad.
Did you clear the flat?
lt's fine, don't worry.
Everything ls packed.
When ls your brother coming?
- Tomorrow afternoon.
Staying with me tonight?
l don't know, maybe.
Are you coming, or what?
karen, french frles are ready.
l'm coming.
Cover for me,
l'll be rlght back.
Ok?
My father.
What are you doing here?
l came here.
First of all,
l wanted to see you.
Something happened?
No, nothing.
Come, sit, drink something.
- No, l want to go.
karen!
l'll be right back.
Why did you come on your own?
l would've picked you up
lf you'd called.
Move on!
Did you take the bus?
- Yes.
l want to talk to you.
- Go on.
Start driving.
Here's where l want to open
my restaurant.
Any news from the army?
No.
Should there be?
Doddy ls coming tomorrow.
- l know.
l want him to run the bar,
so l could work on the restaurant.
We're here.
lf there ls something you want to say,
do lt now,
we are llterally under the house.
Well, look...
But don't stop me,
and let me finish.
So...
l left the house.
l want to tell you Everything,
as simple as possible.
So, l left the house,
but before then...
Before then,
your mom left me.
She...
She found another man, and says
she wants to live with him.
So, l left the house
and came to Tel-Avlv.
What do you mean,
'found another man'?
6 months ago she met an Amerlcan-Jewish
journalist, and fell in love with him.
He covers the flghting in Lebanon
for the Washington Post, l think.
That's lt.
Hello.
Come slt, why are you standing?
What happened?
did anything happen?
No.
l'll tell you.
Let him go back to work flrst.
Well, l'm off.
l'll see you tomorrow.
l covered Noa, her blanket fell off.
- What's wrong?
He wlll tell you.
Any phone calls?
Yes, from the unlt,
the meeting wlll be in Gevlm,
and ldo called.
And some girl asked for you.
l hanged up on her.
l don't want to plck a flght,
but you just hanged up
on Mrs. Shoham.
Who's Mrs. Shoham?
The one who rents out the restaurant.
Your son ls ruining my llfe,
with his chlcks and lles.
What happened?
Could you tell me what happened?
- l don't know exactly,
l just saw a guy slapping karen
in the face,
then smashing all the glasses
on the bar, like that.
Chaos, vlolence.. don't ask.
All the cllents ran away.
karen was lying on the ground
behind the bar.
l think he also klcked her then.
Who's the guy?
- l think his name ls Gldeon.
Yes, Gldeon.
Where ls Abed?
- in the storeroom.
Everything ls going to be all rlght.
He sald he wlll be back Frlday.
Why did he slap her?
- l don't know.
his girl came in looking for you,
and l told her l didn't know
where you were.
And then...
Then the guy asked me
why don't l speak to her nlcely,
like l spoke to her...
And... l told him lt was none
of his business,
and then he slapped me,
and then he went crazy.
And, actually, l did speak to him
nlcely.
l have to get up at mine tomorrow.
My dad ls here, Doddy ls coming...
lt's lucky you didn't arrlve to the bar
when all that mess happened.
lt's going to be fine, don't worry.
You think he wlll be back
on Frlday?
For sure he wlll.
You haven't asked me
where l'm moving to.
To Brurla's, no?
How would you know?
l had a dream last night,
that my bar was smashed,
my mom had a lover,
and left my dad.
What do you mean
that the bar was smashed?
And what about my mom leaving my dad
for a lover...
That seems fine to you?
So what happened at the bar?
Rafl Veinstock and Amnon Levl
held captlve for over two years,
after getting lost
in the eastern sectlon of Lebanon.
Your mates?
- One of them ls.
Maybe that's why ldo called.
Maybe.
So what happened?
At the bar?
This degenerate came in,
plcked a flght and scared cllents...
A mess..
- You know him?
Yes, he's a real crlminal,
an ex-convlct.
All the businesses around
pald him protectlon fees.
So... Wlll you pay him?
- Are you mad?
lf l show him that l'm scared,
he wlll kill my business.
l'm not hungry.
What did he tell you,
my father?
Everything,
just as he told you.
Don't you find lt strange?
- No.
l think lt's much more serlous
than lt looks.
l'll go there with Doddy
and see what's going on.
The kld totally exhausted you...
- Why?
Dad, l'm making a phone call
and we're off.
What's the time?
Where ls daddy? -Hello,
- On the phone -Dining room?
l'm looking for Aml Blderman.
Ok.
Doddy ls coming today.
- l know.
Remember him?
- Of course.
Your uncle.
Hello, Aml, lt's Glora.
l'm fine, llsten...
l want the unlt meeting
to be in my place.
Yes, at the bar.
lt wlll save you, save me,
lt's a win-win.
So you wlll pass lt on,
and l'll take care of my stuff.
Now, llsten,
there ls one more thing...
Slow down, Glora,
what's the rush?
l'm shocked.
- Well, be shocked in the car.
What do you mean,
you don't live with mom?
Are they klds?
- Yes, careless klds.
Why did you ask about mom
like that? Are you mad?
l want to know how my mom ls.
You're nuts.
Since you are here
without mom... just tell me.
Stop, l'll tell you Everything.
Mom has a new guy.
A guy?
- Come on, dad...
A new guy...
That's nonsense.
Doddy and l wlll go there on Saturday,
and flx lt all.
You can't just flx things,
that easy...
Ok, Ok...
Tell us, how ls Rome?
Rome, you know...
Lots of football, terrorlsm,
brlgades and all that stuff.
And lots of Vatlcan.
Your mates...
They offered me to secure 'Alltalla'
with all that terror they have.
A day before l left, an industrlan
in my street was murdered.
2 bullets in the head.
Yeah, lt was in the papers.
A frlghtful photo.
You take a glass,
and lf you pour lt this way...
Who lived in the apartment before?
My friend did,
lt was his love nest.
Then l gave lt to karen.
You see?
Foam.
We must do something about dad.
Well, we're going there on Saturday,
tomorrow l have this...
Look, he ls not well.
Lying on his back all day,
and only ringing you or Sarl.
Or going through my photos from ltaly,
or playing with my cameras.
did he say something about the
greenhouse?
Not a word.
He doesn't care about lt.
l told him to call mom,
to speak with her...
He doesn't even let me call her,
when he ls around.
Well, let's just drop lt.
Let me show you...
To avold foam you bend the glass
this way...
Are you stlll involved with karen?
- A blt.
Why? Are you interested?
Here, then you hold lt stralght,
and the foam ls one cm.
Perfectlon. Now whiskey.
Look, Ballantine's. Are you following?
Johnny Walker,
J&B, Black & White...
- Glora!
Just a second!
karen?
Go through the menu with him,
l'll be rlght back.

- l know.
Your brother didn't introduce us.
Are you Amerlcan?
- Yes, from New York.
Well, whiskey...
Yes, you can come,
you can bring whoever
you want.
We'll find out who's the man here.
So come over, bring your entlre
nelghborhood, just come!
'Tequlla Sunrlse',
which ls tequlla, orange julce, lce...
and a blt of this...
- karen!
Or 'Sun Franclsco'...
Jin, some vodka...
orange julce...
Go and see what they want.
l forgot, in this cocktall too...
You put the lce flrst,
so the drink wlll get chllled
What's the dlfference?
There ls, this ls how lt's done.
You know what?
Why don't you show him.
So, the whiskey ls here...
That whiskey again,
l wlll learn lt myself.
Glora!
l'll ask you from time
to time, Ok?
Sure.
lt's your dad.
Hello?
Yes, we're fine, how are you?
He'll be fine, don't worry...
He gets the ldea, yes.
Why don't you come over,
be around people.
So call Sarl.
When did you talk to her?
No, she wouldn't come,
she doesn't like lt here.
Maybe, we wlll see.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Ruth?
Yes, lt's me.
did you just call?
Someone called and hanged up.
From Tel-Avlv,
from the flat that Glora arranged.
Yes. l don't know.
Maybe they wanted Glora,
maybe lt's a girl,
who hanged up when she heard me.
Yes.
Thanks, yes.
lt's all fine here. And you?
l think about you all the time.
And about us.
No, no, lt's not that.
Of course.
That's not hard...
You see?
That l wlll come back?
Ok.
You should come vlslt.
l mlss you.
What?
l mlss you.
What? No. For God sake...
l mlss you, don't l?!!
Yes, l understand.
There's red llght, mlster.
Don't you see the llght?
Are you blind? Are you retarded?
l'm sorry.
- What 'sorry'? l almost killed you.
Just beat lt!
Go slt with your father,
l can take care of lt.
l'll join him in a second.
Flrst you say 'let's party
in Tel-Avlv'...
and now you are leaving?
- So just join me!
Why would l?
We're supposed to party, no?
Leaving already?
l barely drank anything.
Come with me.
What would you want?
Another round.
The girl served you,
l don't...
She had Pina Colada,
l had Chlvas with coke.
Drop the coke,
lt ruins the whiskey.
That's how l like lt,
none of your business!
'Screwdrlver', comes with orange or
grapefrult julce? -Orange julce.
Go slt with your father?
He looks totally lost.
l'll ask Glora to,
he'll be rlght there.
Hello.
- Hey Glora, what's up?
Where are you?
lt's been a long time.
l had reserve duty, you know...
- What a bugger.
lt's mental out there,
trust me.
My dad ls here,
later...
Everyone knows you here...
Come, have a drink with me.
What would you like?
And you?
l'll have frozen vodka,
with some beer.
l'll just have a beer.
- Beer.
Brurla.
Beer, and my usual.
Do you drink a lot?
l try not to.
What do you think about Doddy?
You flt here better.
Why?
Just because...
You know that he ls going
to New York?
No.
- To learn photography.
Tlll he gets to New York, lt could
change to florlstry.
in the meantime l want him
to run the bar.
Why don't you call mom?
Just talk to her.
l've got nothing to say to her.
Then stay with us,
and l wlll flx lt.
l actually want to go back to Nahariya.
l don't like lt here.
Here, now lt's working.
Look at me.
- Stop dad, l have to run.
There ls that unlt meeting at the bar,
l want to take photos.
What, your mates?
No, Glora's,
but l know them.
Aml was my commander too.
Well, you got lt...
Now glve lt to me.
He gets along with them?
He's fine, the ellminatlon
didn't make such a dlfference.
l think lt even helped him,
they admlre him as always.
And how ls he?
He's fine.
What exactly happened in Lebanon?
l've never understood lt.
Glora led a convoy,
and stopped where he thought lt was
too dark and qulte.
He was worrled of an ambush
or mines in there.
So he reported lt to his
dlvlslon commander,
who didn't glve a damn, and sent him
there anyway.
So he went and indeed there were
mines and an ambush,
and people were killed and captured,
don't ask...
The army held Glora responslble
and he was dlsmlssed.
A week ago,
the guy that was his drlver,
was released from captlvlty,
and he ls the only one who heard
Glora talking to his commander,
l hope he ls going to testlfy
about lt.
"The Sliver shoes took
but three steps,
"and then she stopped
so suddenly, that she rolled over,
"upon the grass several times,
before she knew where she was.
"At length, however, she sat up
and looked about her.
"Good graclous!" she crled."
Hello.
- Hello.
Come on in.
did you ask her to come?
Of course, tonight ls
the unlt meeting.
But you know that unlt nights...
Why are you making a scene?
- l'm making a scene?
You know that women are not
invlted to unlt nights.
Stop with the bullshit,
Dina always comes...
Because ldo lsn't a man enough.
- Ok, llsten...
From now on l don't want to know
or hear anything!
Not about unlt nights,
or your dad drlving you crazy,
or your bar being smashed,
now take me somewhere.
Where? -l don't know.
l'm not going to tell the babysltter,
you're not taking me, rlght?!
Have l ever told you
that my dad drlves me mad?
l can't just show up
at this friend's house,
without any notlce, and say that
my husband doesn't want me around.
Stop apologlzing all the time.
lt was a great ldea
that you turned to me.
Let's slt here for a while.
Hey, what's up?
Looking good.
- l'm fine.
Are we the flrst ones to arrlve?
- Yes, Mr Lawyer.
Look, my drlver was just released.
Stop, stop, let's dlscuss
lt later...
l didn't allow him
to take the equlpment.
lt wlll be alrlght.
- lsn't lt your brother? -Yes lt ls.
You have a better beach in Nahariya.
Yes.
Less storms and whlrlpools.
Glora ls in a totally dlfferent
Directlon than what we thought.
At least, from what l thought.
You know,
when he was 17,
he used to take maths
courses in college.
They used to say
he was extremely talented.
Now he seems so
far from lt.
l just want lt all to be better.
That he wlll qult the bar
and all the nonsense,
l am certain that he ls
much better there.
And what about you?
What about me?
How are you?
The truth?
Horrlble.
Just horrlble.
l feel like l have
a hole in here,
in my heart.
like a lump stuck in my throat.
l don't know what to do,
l really don't.
did you speak with her?
She doesn't want to llsten.
The flrst time l vlslted New York,
my Engllsh was really bad.
Not that today lt's that good.
- True, lt's stlll not so good,
so lmagine lt back then.
- Why are you so..?
He ls actually a medlcal doctor.
l landed there, all alone,
l stopped a taxl at the alrport...
Glora, are you coming,
or should l stop the story?
Go, slt with the mates.
- lt's fine, you can go back.
Chat with them a blt.
Anyway, untll l got
the nerve,
and told the drlver
"l want to go to the city",
which my slster taught me to say,
he turns to me and says,
just say 'to the city' (Hebrew),
don't work so hard!
in Hebrew!
l almost fell off my chalr.
l actually sald lt qulte well:
"l want to go to the city".
ls lt true that your dad ls a Chrlstlan?
Yes, who told you?
Doddy, just now.
What made you talk about
my dad?
He ls his dad too...
- Yes, but he ls a secular.
He even worked for the HMO.
No that lt even matters,
'cause our mom ls Jewlsh.
Go to the kltchen.
Come here.
Let's see who's the man here...
Come.
You come.
Very lmpresslve...
You pulled lt off this time...
But l wlll fuck you.
On my mother's grave,
l wlll fuck you!
Son of a bltch!
Shut up, you plece of shit!
Why didn't you shoot lt?
- Shoot lt? l was totally paralyzed.
Do you want to have
a night swlm?
l can't swlm.
Come on, let's make a move.
You know what?
l'm going to see once and for all
what are these unlt nights,
where women are not allowed.
You know that Doddy and Glora
are going to Nahariya tomorrow?
Why don't you come with me tomorrow?
- with them?
No, just us two.
What for?
Just to vlslt the city,
the house, the greenhouse.
We can also go to the beach,
lf you want.
So where did you two meet?
Here, at work.
Who worked here before,
you or her?
How does lt matter to you?
Why did you call me for?
l asked her to.
Bring another vodka, would you?
But in a normal glass.
Wow, what a surprlse!
Where ls everyone?
That's what left.
Hl.
- Hl.
l'm glad you came.
Really?
Wlll you have sex with me?
You're amazing.
l love you so much.
Only me?
Yes.
Llar.
Llar.
lf you asked me, say,
how much ls 423 multlplled by 832,
l wlll calculate lt in my head
in no time,
but this ls not math,
lt's something dlfferent,
Are you llstening?
Mom ls probably angry that l
come just now.
Let her be angry.
You work, what can you do?
Doddy...
Hl
ls anybody home?
No
Flrst of all, call him and tell
him not to come
Why should l tell him not to?
He comes here every day
lt wlll be unpleasant for everyone,
do me a favor and call him
He already left
lt's fine
Arthur ls sensltlve enough
lf he was that sensltlve,
he wouldn't meet us so soon
He whould wait with that
lt's not so simple
l know lt's not simple,
so no need to compllcate lt even more
Was l supposed to lle to you?
How could you lle?
l could have told you lt wasn't serlous,
that lt wlll soon end
So what are you saying?
What do you mean,
what am l saying?
l'm saying that this man
l'm saying that l do have every rlght
Nobody sald that you don't
Don't you think l know
you enough to flgure what you think?
What do l think?
You think that l'm wrong
Wrong with you,
wrong with dad
l think lt's not Ok
- Why?
Think for yourself
- Where are you going?
To the greenhouse
Whose car ls this?
- Her friend's
We're acting a blt like
two robbers, no?
No one wlll catch us, don't worry
Here's Doddy!
Well, Glora probably made
a blg drama in there
Hello, Amnon?
What's up? Welcome back!
Yes, l heard lt on the radlo
the day you arrived
No, l couldn't come,
l'm crazy busy
No
l rarely watch the televlslon
with ldo? Yes
l just want
to sort lt out
Can they take testlmonles
when you are captured?
Who look after the greenhouse?
l do a blt these days
l know that you think that
l am being wrong,
but
Glora always think that Everything ls
simple
He thinks you are acting as lf
lt's all so simple,
and that you take lt all
far too easy,
You really think that
you know Everything
You really do
l'm already 60 and l
for over 20 years,
even more,
for 30 years he goes from the house to
the beach, from the beach to the clinlc,
from the clinlc to the greenhouse
Do you know how 30 years feel?
You think that you are the smartest,
the most sensltlve,
you don't know what happens,
when we go to our bedroom
l don't want to hear that!
l don't!
You know nothing
Both you and your brother
l...
l can't live,
with so llttle
And l don't want
to let go now
l deserve that
Let's go back
Just a moment
Maybe we should go?
l want to go in
What would happen?
What for?
We can stay here a blt longer
lf you want
Do you want to come with me
to the greenhouse?
Just for a gllmpse
Ok
did you happen to see
a small plckaxe?
A small, red one
Let's leave
Come on
Let's go to the beach,
l want to get some tan
l'm going in
- Why would you?
lt's my house, no?
What for?
We served in the same unlt,
only he served 5 years be
Sarl, have you lost your mind?
Hello
Why did you come?
Slt down
How are you?
- l'm fine
Thank you
Would you like to drink anything?
No, thank you
And you?
No, thanks,
l'll help myself in the kltchen
l'm out for a moment
You're not going anywhere
What happened, Bernard?
l wanted to see the house,
l wanted to see you,
that's all
Fine l'll be in the kltchen
l'm really sorry, he just stormed in,
l couldn't stop him
l shouldn't have come, rlght?
Rlght You shouldn't have
l had to see you
Ok, fine
l'll just stay for a blt and go
No
l want you to go now
Rlght now
- Why?
Because lt's hard for me
- For me too
lt ls harder for me
Don't l look like lt ls?
l can't see you like that
Stop!
Slt down, lt's gonna be alrlght
Why did you do lt?
l can't go on like this
l just can't!
l just can't!
Come, let's go back to Tel-Avlv
l'll take him
- Fine
Doddy and l wlll leave very soon
Where are you drlving to?
Tel-Avlv
You wanted to go to the beach, no?
lt doesn't matter
You wanted to go to the beach,
so l want to go there
Glora says you used to be
a good swlmmer
l used to
Come back in
- l don't want to go in
Don't you see there's enough
drama already?
You always plck the worst time
to run away
Who's running away?
Leave me alone!
l don't want to see this nonsense,
l'm not in the mood for this looser,
nor for mother
Leave me here for a moment
Wake me up in 5 minutes,
so l won't get a sunburn
Go get an ambulance!
lt's crazy, you know
This ls my bed and my room,
and l feel like a guest here now
What can l do?
Nothing
How ls your dad?
- He's Ok
did he find a job?
No, but he's stlll looking
Look, 2 months ago he wanted to dle,
so there's no rush now
Also, there are too many
doctors apparently
Glora stlll inslsts on getting him
back with my mom
Why?
- Why?
Because he likes to organlze everyone's
lives,
He should organlze his own llfe flrst
- That's his llfe
Glve me the clgarette for a second
l just took a shower
- So what, you'll take another one
What's up?
We're not signing the contract
- What?
What you just heard,
she doesn't rent lt out to me
What do you mean she doesn't?
But we agreed
- Nothing was agreed
What do you mean nothing?
He even pald you the deposlt
She ls not obllgated to do anything
l'll explain to you later
How come she's not obllgated?
- 'cause she's not
She can just
pay me back
We didn't sign a contract,
she can do whatever she wants
Look, just as l told your brother,
lf l do rent out the place,
lt would be to you,
l like you,
but l can't
- Suddenly you can't?
Come, come
- But what happened? l don't get lt
My husband passed away 2 weeks ago,
and the family declded not to rent
lt out in the meantime
l'm sorry
- My daughter and her husband,
are coming back from Amerlca,
and l want to speak with them flrst,
before l make any steps
lt wlll work out in the end,
trust me
l'm actually glad lt was postponed
- Why?
l have some more lmportant things
to deal with
What? The army?
- No, l wlll flx that too
Dad l think we should get him
back to Nahariya
l can feel that something wrong
would come out
What are you talking about?
What would he go back to?
Besldes, he doesn't look like
he wants to go back so much,
that man ls stlll there
Mom should klck him out
We should really vlslt her
Do you want to go?
- Want? No But we should
You should slow down with your drinking
- What else do l need to do?
No, serlously
Sometime l feel like
l have a hole rlght here
lt feels like this hole ls screaming,
and lt needs to be soothed
Whiskey does that
Vodka, Cognac
When did lt start?
- When l was born
40 minutes to Jerusalem,
that's my record
The old or the new way?
The new of course, and you?
You make lt in 40
My brother makes lt
in 40 minutes from here
Not from here, from Dlzengoff
to Jerusalem
No way!
There's no chance
Why not?
Let's say you drlve an average
of 180 km per hour
Look, an alrcraft, yeah?
- Yes?
An alrcraft makes lt,
in 15 minutes
250 km per hour -That includes
take-offs, and landings
Amnon!
You look like a model Not like
you were captured for one day even
What's up?
Come, have a drink
- No, need Glora,
we're just back from the north,
we're exhausted
Besldes, Amnon should go
see his girlfriend
But we came here flrst
Why go there? -We're getting married
next week and we barely meet
Mazel Tov, from one jall to another!
You must have a drink
Come
Doddy!
Hey, junlor
- Hey! What's up?
Beers
- As usual -Vodka
l told them Everything l heard on
the two-way radlo
l told them that you reslsted entering
that area,
and that the commander forced you to,
so you had no cholce
Do you stlll work?
- Do l have a cholce?
l think they have all the evldence
that you acted properly
Super-properly even
l told them that lf we didn't go
to where the commander told us to,
but to where you did,
we would have avolded the minefleld
and ambush
They were wrlting lt all down
They have some evldence,
l think,
and they all support your story
l know
Tell me, they didn't think
the prlson has made you crazy
At flrst they did
But then they reallzed
that l'm fine
They thought l was your drlver
your entlre servlce,
and they hardly belleved me that
we only met twlce, or 3 times
They don't keep records there?
l don't know
- Glora, let's do the accounting
did you reduce my salary?
Why doesn't he go to the army
to sort lt out himself?
He doesn't want to get involved,
he thinks that lf he goes there,
and take care of lt,
he would seem like a groveler,
so he lets others flx lt
ldo served with him,
he loves him and wants to help,
He ls in the background,
pulling the strings,
and he looks at the entlre army
like a friend who betrayed him
This ls probably true,
but every time lt comes up,
even when someone trles to help,
lt hurts him all over again
Just leave lt for tomorrow morning
l'm sleeping in the morning
What do l care
lf they left without paying,
You should keep your eyes on them
l'm not paying you for that
But you sald he was your friend
What friend?
Who the hell ls he?
Whoever clalms to be my friend
can just dlsappear?
ls lt your dad's money?
They suddenly left,
l didn't even notlce
Of course you didn't, so how can
you say lt was my friend?
How much you have left?
l have nothing
Nothing!
What are you crying?
Next time make sure your
tables don't vanlsh
Glve her some money,
she worked so hard
We're closing
What are you doing?
Slow down,
what are you doing?
l'm doing what l want to,
and you stay out of lt!
Pull over,
l've had enough of you
Come on, karen
Run after your boyfriend, "honey"
l'm also leaving
- wait
Here
keep your eyes on your cllents
next time
Where do you need?
Drop me home, please
- Sure
Where would l drop me?
Glora!
Glora!
Glora
Glora
You're not falling asleep here
Come, go home
Glora, come on
You promlsed
l was dlsgusting tonight, rlght?
- Oh, yes
Drlve carefully
- Ok
Glora, what's the time?
Around 4 l guess
- What 4, lt's probably 6
Glora, stop lt
Go take a shower,
you smell like cognac and other things
What would l get lf l take a shower
- Nothing
So why would l?
did you see my dad today?
- No
You're not human, you know that?
Can l speak German?
- Yes
l haven't been to a confesslonal
in 30 years
l forgot how lt goes
Could you please help me?
Have you vlslted church?
Do you stlll belleve?
No l've left rellglon,
l've lost my falth
Have you trled to find lt?
- Yes, but not in the rellglon
l was a doctor
l stlll am, but l don't work anymore
l'm retlred
Maybe l've been too absorbed in my work
l feel l've been neglecting
my chlldren's educatlon
l've neglected lt
l have
l haven't been paying
enough attentlon
l feel that l don't belong
in this country,
to the turbulent llfe,
the turbulent emotlons
l feel lt with my chlldren,
who are grown-ups by now,
without me being able
to get closer to them
My family has expanded,
and l see lt falling apart
in front of me
And l cannot keep lt coheslve
l mean, my family,
my klds,
they were born in this country
did you want to talk?
- Yes, Bernard Getter
Andre Deva
l'm a doctor
l wlsh you could help me
Hl
You were worrled he was here?
l was Where ls he?
- in Sldon l think
ldlot What does he
have there?
Please calm down, flrst
- Why would l calm down?
End this stupld business
already,
you're over 60,
you behave like klds
You are being stubborn,
and dad ls just losing lt!
Dad ls not losing lt,
maybe he starts to get used to lt
Now look,
and llsten carefully
You are used to solving things,
at work or in the army,
and l know you're good at lt,
but you can't solve this one,
because lt's lmposslble,
you can't flx people's lives
and more lmposslble even,
your parent's lives
And you don't need to make dad
leave his church
he was born into lt, maybe
lt's good for him to be back there,
maybe lt helps him
He wasn't born here
You weren't elther
But lf someone found the way
to save his soul,
you don't just go there
and burn all his brldges,
lf that's how he saves his soul,
what's the harm?
lt doesn't cause any harm
Glve him a chance
- What chance?
l wlll just hurt him
You won't hurt him,
you'll save him
l don't think so,
but let's wait a blt
Let some time pass, we'll see
He'll see, l'll see
Just relax
You drove to Nahariya and back,
all in 4 hours
Come on
Not 4, 5
And l was there for half an hour
Don't you think you are
over reacting with your dad?
l'm telling you he's getting crazy,
he's becoming a Chrlstlan,
l shouldn't care?
- You sound like an ldlot
Thanks -What do you mean
'becoming a Chrlstlan'?
Flrst of all, he has always been
Second, lt's not a mental dlsease
lt's very slmllar
Daddy, why are we standing?
lt's red
lt wlll become green very soon
Let's count
1, 2, 3
Let's go
l know nothing about this thing
which thing?
- Chrlstlanlty
Glora Glora!
wait a second
Good l bumped into you,
l was on my way to see you
Look, lt's over
They accepted Amnon's testlmony, and
the dlsmlssal wlll be cancelled
Thank you
- Don't thank me
Can you please tell me
what's going on?
They'd probably call from the unlt,
and want you to
They can go to hell now,
l just wanted lt to be sorted
Now they are the ones that look
like prlcks
Well, look,
l got to go now
Goodbye
Goodbye
- Bye, Sarl
You know that you're being
really unfalr with me
You elther lle to me about your trlps,
or just don't tell me anything
Why do l need to learn in the mlddle
of the street that this case,
l've been going through with you for
2 years has been sorted?
Why am l the last one to know?
Flrst, you're not the last one,
Second, l did tell you about my drlver
being released,
he got me clean, that's lt
You didn't
You sald he was your drlver,
nothing more
Ok, l'll tell you at home
You don't have to
lf you don't want to
Have you read the New Testament?
- l just fllpped through lt once
Yes, l know
No, no, there's no sound
- like lt's dlsconnected
Exactly
Yeah, more than 100%
Definltely "El-Al",
they're the best, no?
Yes, l love New York
What are you talking about?
l'm crazy about this city
Yes
Ok, goodbye
When are you leaving?
- in 2 weeks
And the restaurant?
- lt's not for me
- Do you know where wlll you study?
- No, but l'll find out there
There's a guy who works with me
who also learns photography
Look
There's something l wanted to ask
before you leave
l'm going to Austrla,
for about a month,
to vlslt my hometown
So l was thinking we can all go
to mom before then,
to say goodbye
When l worked at 'Bermuda',
they were also brothers,
but 3 of them,
they were always flghting
At the end, no one came there
because of them
l've never seen a place
like the 'Bermuda',
that the owners are flghting,
and the cllents just slt and watch
Eventually nobody went there
What's the time?
- l don't have a watch
l got a feeling lt's just
us two tonight,
Abed also didn't come
Hello
You haven't called for a while
No, no, of course
l'm glad
My place?
How many times have l told you
not to call there
l'm here, just come over
No, no, not today,
l can't make lt
Come tomorrow, and
What happened?
lt's Ok
- What Ok? Look at you
What happened?
l went to vlslt my friend,
who works nearby,
and l was chatting with him,
he's also from East Jerusalem
When l left there to head here,
l was walking down the street,
3 people came to me,
one of them sald:
"lt's Glora's worker",
before l could even run,
one of them klcked me in my leg,
the other brought a stick,
and hit me here, and here,
and in the stomach, while klcking me
Then they finally left,
and one guy sald:
"Tell your boss that Gldeon
sald 'Hello""
That's what he sald, and they left
Son of a bltch this Gldeon
Son of a bltch
Who put your bandage?
l went to the paramedlcs
l want my father to take a look,
he's a doctor
No answer
Do you want to go to Jerusalem?
l'll pay for the taxl
- No, no
l'll stay down here tonight,
and we'll see tomorrow
No problem,
come, come
l'll bring my father tomorrow morning,
and drlve you to Jerusalem lf you want
Thanks
What happened to Abed?
He was beaten up
By whom?
- Abed, where are the main door keys?
lt's by the pan
Glora hasn't arrived yet?
- l'm here from 8
did anything happen?
l called dad
l wanted him to come
Abed was beaten up
by Gldeon's guys
They hit him hard
- So where ls he?
Down here, sleeping
Where's dad? -He's not home
He went to some village near Yavne
Why did he lose there?
- There's this woman he takes care of
Come, let's open the place
Ok
Brurla, you'll take this sectlon,
Naoml, you're over there,
karen, behind the bar as usual,
but alone
Doddy, you'll just go around,
l'll be in the kltchen today,
and girls, no flsh and prawns today,
l don't know how to handle them
Do you even know how to cook?
Yes, l even know that
What's this delay?
l mlssed the bus and had to wait
for 20 minutes
l don't care
Take a taxl next time
- And you'll pay lt?
You think? Just leave 30 minutes before,
and you'll be on time
What does he do in that village?
- l told you
There's this Pollsh lady,
probably Chrlstlan, he treats her
There's another lady,
at lchllov hospltal,
and another one in Jaffa,
he goes there every day
What would we do?
l don't know
Nothing, l guess
He's an old man
He also wants us to go
to Nahariya
Hello
Excuse me, do you know
where Delvo lives?
Hello, l'm Getter's son,
they told me at church that
Come in, come in
How can l help you?
Would you like to drink anything?
l just turned the kettle on
No thanks
- So come in, l'll be rlght there
Yes?
l'm looking for my father,
do you know where he ls?
did you come from Nahariya?
No, l live in Tel-Avlv,
my parents did
they live there
- Oh, l thought your dad was a wldower
That's what he sald?
- No
He only sald he was alone
Can l ask you something?
- Go ahead
Flrst of all, how should l call you?
Father? Brother?
Just call me Delvo, lt's good enough
l am a father though, a prlest
Aren't you supposed to wear a black gown
and white collar?
l don't always wear that,
only during servlces
lt's been 20 years, things have changed,
we no longer wear gowns
How long have you been here?
- 20 years
Many people turn to you?
- There are some, not many
Here lt ls
l'll go get him
Do you only have women?
Doddy sald there's a woman
in the village,
another one at the hospltal
There are a few women,
old ones
From Poland
They moved here with thelr
Jewlsh husbands,
and then became wldows
So they turn to Delvo
for help
They start to think about the village,
where they came from
To think about thelr mothers
They want to say the prayers,
as they used to
Look, only 500 people convert
to Judaism per year
There are hardly 10 converslons
to Chrlstlanlty
Do you remember your mom's prayers?
l remember her praying,
but no,
l don't remember them
Go see him, he's down there,
l'll join you in a moment
How ls he?
Not well, not well
Who did that?
Just this guy
There's a broken rlb here,
lf not 2
l didn't get any sleep,
l can barely breathe
He can't just lle in here,
he should go to the hospltal
l offered that yesterday -Could you
put me in a taxl to Jerusalem?
Now? Of course l can
lt's dangerous
You'll be in pain all the way there
Much pain
- My uncle works in a hospltal there
He's my mom's brother
He'll take care of me
ls he a doctor?
- A very lmportant one
He's the head of the department
l'm off l'll be back late
- Hush, why are you shouting?
You'll wake the girl
- The girl ls awake
Forgot to tell you,
Abed got into trouble,
so l got to find someone else
- Ok Ok
Goodbye
ls anything wrong?
Nothing's wrong,
absolutely nothing
And you can be back
whenever you want,
even tomorrow, l don't care
Hello?
Bernard?
- Yes?
Sarl's speaking did l wake you up?
No, no, lt's fine
Look, Bernard,
l need you to do me a favor
Yes
l wanted you to go to our place
and be with Glora when he's back
Sorry, l didn't get lt
Look, l
l'm not at home,
l left
What? Where are you calling from?
From Dina's
l just want someone be with him
so he wouldn't do things
wait, wait, what?
You broke up?
No, no Look, Bernard,
l just left,
l had to be away from home
for a while
But l don't want him to follow me here,
and make a scene
So l'm asking you to explain to him
that l should rest for a while,
and so should he,
with his intense llfestyle
Dad, what are you doing here?
Where's Sarl?
l knew lt!
l knew lt We actually closed
early tonight
She left a note here
Do you know where she ls?
Yes, she called me
At Dina's?
- Yes
l'm going there
wait a moment
wait a moment!
wait
Glora! Glora!
Don't go there
She asked that
- So she did
She went there just for a while
Let her rest for a while
lf you're going there now,
lt wlll only make lt worse
Then lt would be much harder
to flx lt, trust me
Let's go drink something,
and l'll see
We actually know all the
bars owners
After work l come here,
or go to another bar,
Sometimes they come here
in Tel-Avlv you can just
party 24/7
Really?
- Some bars are open tlll the morning
You can go now,
l'll be fine
l don't trust you
lt could go on tlll the morning
That's fine
Look
l stlll want to go see her
l'll be there for 10 minutes,
and get back to you
Don't go there, llsten to me
Talk to her tomorrow morning,
lt's better
lf you go there now,
you'll wake everyone up
Her, her friend,
Noa
lt wlll end badly
Llsten, lt wlll be alrlght
Don't go
lt's fine, l only go to chat with
the bartender
What's up?
- lt's all good
What about you?
We're good
Tell me, did you see Gldeon?
He was here last night
his slster ls getting married today
l'm looking for him
Be careful
Trust me, l saw him doing some things
to people
You don't want to know
At the age of 17 he's already killed
someone
Now look,
He was just released from prlson,
he wants to rebulld his reputatlon
He does things recently,
that even crlminals don't accept
He wanders around a lot?
As usual
Thanks
Can l buy you a drink?
- Yes, yes
You'll have a drink with me?
- No, thanks
But you drink too much
and too fast
What do you want?
That l wlll slt here,

like l'm having a good time?
Here you are
- Slt down

Let's go home,
l'm tlred
lf you're getting off now,
l'm going to Sarl and making a scene
Why don't you treat me now
Can l get off?
lt's my house here
No one ls getting off this car now
How do you know l shouldn't
go to her now?
Go there, and force her to
come home with me?
Maybe she ls in bed now,
thinking lt's all over?
Maybe l'm losing her at this
very moment?
l'll regret llstening to you,
for the rest of my llfe
And l'm telling you that l belleve
that she wants to rest
So let her rest!
Have l ever told you what to do?
You never have
"Never"
lf anyone has, lt's been mom
And l don't think she wants to rest
Who?
Sarl Come
Let's go to mine
Not now, next time
Come on, come to mine
Not tonight

Yeah, kind of
Apart for the beating
lt ls so ugly
What's ugly?
All these beatings
of you and your friends
Just so fake, all this men's friendhood,
your language, and your drinking
That's not the problem,
but lt could end up
with a dead body
End up how?
with a dead body
You don't belong here
Too nolsy,
too Dirty,
Nahariya, Austrla
They flt you better
lf you think this place flts you
so well, you're wrong
lf you were as happy as you try
to show you are,
lt wouldn't be so tough for you,
you wouldn't drink that much,
and you would have time for
yourself and for your family
That's the time of the day, that the
blg sinners return from thelr nights,
and the blggest saints get up,
to pray, to exerclse,
Do Chrlstlans also get up
so early?
Some do,
some don't
How much do l owe?
Can l tell you something?
And not because l was
drinking all night
l'm l'm not drunk
l want to tell you something
from my heart

that you're not ending things with mom
lt doesn't start or end this way,
and l know what l'm talking about
Second

That l don't buy this whole thing of
running to save all these slck people
And l hate seeing you
doing that
l hate that you run

and l don't buy lt
l really hate lt
You know when you say "hate",
like you just did,
you look like a beast
You really get ugly
You hate me sometimes, don't you?
Sometimes l look at you,
and lt feels like l don't know you
Sometimes lt feels like
l don't know anyone
l don't know your
mother sometimes
Come, let's go

l'm waiting in the car
wait a second
Dear god, bless the grave,
of our brother, Bernard
By the glory of your face,
through Chrlst, our lord Amen
"From the following sentence,
which l found,
"that was probably wrltten,
by someone better than me
"l'm trying to find the rlght,
and simple thing to say,
"which l wlsh l could wrlte
on my own:
" 'God, show us the way,
as we do not understand our own hearts
" 'As we do not know what we shall want,
" 'As we get further away,
from our own deslres
"And finally, instead of a signature,
"l am attaching a photo of myself
which l accldently took,
"l think lt ls funny,
"although at the exact second,
lt ls fear that was captured "
What was this quoted sentence again?
"God, show us the way,
as we do not understand our own hearts
"As we do not know what we shall want,
"As we get further away,
from our own deslres
And what came after that?
"instead of a signature l am attaching
a photo of myself,
"which l accldently took
"l think lt ls funny,
"although at the exact second,
lt ls fear that was captured "
