TORI AND LOKITA
- You don't remember?
- No.
It's a tributary of Ouémé.
It's called the same as the lake
you told me you lived next to.
Do you remember the name of the lake?
In Immigration you said
that before you left Benin,
You studied at the
'Titirou' school in Parakú.
Who ran the school,
a man or a woman?
A man.
- Do you remember his name?
- It was Mr. Director.
Yes, but what was his name?
I called him Mr. Director.
You said that you met your
brother again at that school.
Yes.
How did you recognize him?
I just did.
He was abandoned at birth.
You've never seen him.
How did you know it was him?
Lokita?
How did you know it was him?
It wasn't at school that I saw him.
It was in the orphanage.
When my mother died, my uncle
said that it was my brother's fault,
That he still had the powers of a
witch and that he had to be killed.
So I went to tell him.
We hid.
And then we left.
Did you know which orphanage he was in?
I knew that many witch children
were at Mama Monique's house.
So I went there.
How did you know it was him?
I asked for Tori.
How did you know his name was Tori?
He was given that name at the orphanage.
You couldn't have known.
Are you okay?
- It's better to take a pause.
- Of course.
- Do you have your medication here?
- Yes.
Do you want us to
postpone the interview?
Yes.
Lokita, wake up.
- Tori!
- Yes, I'm coming!
- Lokita...
- Tori!
- Two missing glasses, I'll get them
- And napkins.
- Don't you want to eat before you go?
- No, I'm good.
- Back by 22:00 at most.
- Yes.
Feeling better?
I've thought of more questions that
they can ask you about the orphanage.
Thank goodness she didn't
ask me to speak in Bariba.
- I forgot all about it.
- How do you say "hello"?
"Bye"?
And "thank you"?
Let me go!
We're going to miss the bus!
You can't pass
Come on, let's go.
That's enough.
- Can you fix my hair?
- Yes.
I have another question.
What color is the door of the
church next to the orphanage?
- I don't know
- Red.
She's not going to ask me
about the color of a church door.
Not necessarily,
but you have to know.
What I have to be able to
explain is how I knew it was you.
We'll figure something out.

My brother and I are
going to sing an Italian song.
- My microphone?
- It's there.

She came to see us at the center.
She taught us a song from her town.

Yes?
Ten extra grams for a new customer.
Serbian Street no. 4.
Just before the station.
Do you know where?
Yes.
The customer will be at the door.
Carbonera and Bolognese for table six.
Caprese, table three.
- Let's go.
- Can we have 5 euros for the karaoke?
Rino!
- Rino?
- Yeah?
Did the blacks sing
for ten minutes?
Yes.
- Here.
- Thanks.
- What was the address?
- Serbian Street number 4.
450.
Ten.
- You can't get more?
- I only have 40 left.
Wait.
I'll be right back.
- Betim?
- Yes.
- Three.
- The minimum is five.
- The cook didn't tell me that.
- What did he tell you?
My pension is shit and it's
the end of the month.
I'll call him to see if he accepts.
The new customer
can only buy three.
He doesn't accept.
I'm going to talk about it
with a mate, and come back.
- I'm hungry.
- Me too.
Watch out!
Be careful when crossing!
She bought 400 euros!
Keep walking. Don't turn.
Hey, you two!
You two there, Stop!
Against the wall.
- Why did you cross without looking?
- He wanted to stay close.
- She's my sister.
- That's not a reason. Documentation.
- What time do you return to the center?
- At 10:00 p.m.
We were going to catch
the bus in the square.
The 20 grams.
Chief...
- Should we let her in?
- Yes.
Here...
Don't worry, there's ten.
He's missing one.
There's one missing
- There's only nine.
- You didn't hide one after I turned?
- No.
- We're not thieves.
Tell the cook he either lowers
the price or I'll find someone else.
The doorman says if you don't lower
the price, he will find someone else.
Well, let him start looking,
the son of a bitch.
The count is right; here.
Can we have the focaccia?
You can take everything.
Can you give us a box?
See you Friday.
- See you Friday.
- Wait!
I have to tell you something.
Go wait by the stairs.
- Want to make an extra 50 euros?
- No.
You took it the other day.
Are you asleep?
No.
Can you sing it to me?
Lokita...
Lokita!
I didn't see you in church on Sunday.
- I was sick.
- You could have let me know.
Why don't you pick up the phone?
Are you going to
send money to your mother?
Yes.
- How much?
- A hundred euros
And what about us?
Come talk to Firmin.
I don't care about your mother.
I brought you both here, you have to pay.
Do you understand, sister?
- I'll pay you on Sunday.
- Give Justine the 100 euros.
- My mother needs them...
- Give them to Justine.
Stay here!
- Search her.
- I have nothing more!
- May I?
- I said I have nothing!
Let her search you
or I'll hit you.
Your shoes...
Don't move!
You lied, sister.
How ugly.
Sunday at church. Understood?
Yes.
Can you give me something to send
to my mother? I'll pay it on Sunday.
We need it for my brothers
who start school in Garúa.
- You didn't tell me you were coming.
- I wanted to see you.
Me too. I even drew you.
Look, the teacher asked us
to draw someone we knew.
Someone you know and dislike
or someone you know and like?
Someone I like.
- What's this dot?
- A beauty mole.
You drew me with dreadlocks,
don't you like my braids?
I do, but it's easier
to draw dreadlocks.
So you prefer me with dreadlocks?
- How much do we still owe them?
- 600, plus 20 euros.
Betim asked you to deal,
why don't I do it?
- No.
- We'd have more money.
- It's better that you go to school.
- But you don't go.
I told you, when I get my papers,
I'll do a domestic service course.
Hey, mom.
Yes, I promised you 200 euros,
But the dealer who brought me
from Italy took the money
He only left me 20 euros.
When I have the papers, I
can send you more money.
I don't spend anything on myself.
You have to believe me.
It's true, you have to believe me.
Sending you kisses
Kisses to everyone.
Goodbye.
- Was she angry?
- She thinks I keep the money.
You want your meds?
Are you okay?
- Do you want me to call Nadia?
- No.
Let's continue with the questions.
How did you recognize your
brother in the orphanage?
I knew that he was born in 2011.
I asked if any witch
children were born in 2011.
No, I have to be more specific.
I will say what month you were born.
Ask me again.
How did you recognize your
brother in the orphanage?
I knew that...
I knew that he was
born in December 2011.
I asked if any witch children
were born in December 2011.
And there was only one.
Trick question:
Do you remember if there were
trees in the orphanage garden?
No, I don't remember.
Good, because there
were no trees nor a garden.
- How long has it been?
- 35 minutes.
- Too long. It doesn't sound good.
- Everything will be fine.
You weren't accepted?
She was unable to
answer some questions.
Come sit down.
Come on.
One minute, I'm coming.
Why can't my sister
have her papers?
- Who are you?
- Tori, Lokita's brother.
Ask Lokita, she knows.
Excuse me, I have a meeting.
I swear she is my sister.
Without her, I'd be dead.
Why do I have papers
and she can't have them?
You were a persecuted witch
child, your files prove it.
They also tried to
kill her for helping me.
It's the same thing.
Her lawyer proposed
a DNA test to prove it.
It's the best solution.
- Excuse me, I have to go.
- Ma'am!
What am I going to do
here without her?
- Why don't you give her the papers?
- I'd like to, but I can't.
Goodbye
We don't want to separate,
three months is a long time. Can't we...?
No!
- Just once a week?
- I said no!
You want fake papers,
I find a solution for you...
and now you negotiate with me.
Are you crazy?
- Do you want the papers or not?
- Yes.
- Can we meet at least on Sunday?
- No.
- I need an answer tomorrow
morning at the latest, OK? - Yes.
- How will we send money to your mom?
- And to Firmin.
I'm gonna work to pay for the
papers, so I won't earn anything?
That's right.
You have a bed, food, and
when you finish, the papers.
Turn it off.
On the market they cost a
minimum of 10,000 euros.
Can I still deal on Fridays?
I told you, you have to
be there permanently. Come on.
How will we send money
to our mother?
That's none of my business! Go away!
And your mother would
have 50 euros every week.
But it takes at least an hour.
You can't go in at 23:00.
- I'll go by bike.
- What bike?
There is one at the center.
I just have to fix it.
It's my obligation to earn
money for the family, my obligation!
Stop, Lokita!
Why don't they want to
give me the papers, Tori?
- Why?
- They don't want us.
You're bleeding, come sit.
Does it hurt?
Not much.
You're very nice, Tori.
There is no one like you.
No one.
So you don't see where we're going.
I don't understand.
I'm going to blindfold you,
so you can't see where we're going
Turn your head.
It's better for us and for you.
Lift your feet.
I'm taking the blindfold off.
To turn the light on.
There's also a lamp here,
A flashlight, in case of a cut
Earplugs... there's still plenty.
The guy who was here before
you got used to the noise quickly.
The bathroom.
The light is here.
If you run out of paper or
shampoo, tell us and we'll bring it.
Same thing with food.
There's frozen food in the freezer.
And other stuff in the fridge.
If you want something special,
make a list and we'll bring it to you.
- You know how to use the microwave?
- Yes.
This is for the TV...
Headphones
The most important...
If there is a problem...
If you hear a strange noise
or that someone trying to break in,
or you smell something burning;
you press here three seconds.
It will connect with the mobile of
someone who lives nearby.
If you smell burning, you have
to do something else, come...
- No clean sheets?
- Haven't you brought your bag?
Yes, but I don't want to
put it on top, it's very dirty.
Wash them here.
There's detergent.
On top of calling us when
you smell burning, come here...
After pressing the alarm
button, you come here
and you turn this down.
It cuts the power.
Any questions?
Where do I go if there is a fire?
If there is, it will be in the
little rooms. The walls resist fire.
I'll show you the job.
Better take off your jacket,
it's 30°C in the little rooms.
- Not gonna take it off?
- I'm fine.
You're going to roast.
Go in.
Always close the door,
to keep the heat inside.
Do it.
When the plant touches the wire,
you lift the chain six links.
Like this. Come do it here.
OK, put it down.
Let's do that one.
I said six, not seven.
- What is that?
- My cellphone.
- Don't answer. Who is Tori?
- My brother.
Betim didn't tell you? No phones.
The cops track them down.
- I need it to...
- Call your friends and steal the product?
- How am I going to call my brother?
- Shut up and close the door.
I'll give you the SIM card back
in three months. Come.
I want to call my brother.
Let's make a deal.
Every time you say "I want"...
you get this.
Ask me without saying "I want".
- Can I call my brother?
- What does he do?
He works with me for Betim.
Tomorrow, I will bring a prepaid cell
phone and you will call in front of me.
One,
two,
three...
Hello?
Can you help me?
- He didn't give you a phone for me?
- No.
I've been waiting for it for three days.
He only gave me your shopping list.
- Can't you call him to come?
- Not possible, he is in Holland.
Hey, are you okay?
What's wrong with you?
You need to calm down, OK?
Calm down.
Feeling better?
Hey, are you better?
- Tori...
- What?
- I want Tori.
- What is Tori?
My brother.
I want to talk to him.
Now.
Wait.
I'm going to call Betim
to see if he agrees.
Yes. It's Margot.
The gardener's
had an epileptic fit...
It's not epilepsy, I'm not sick.
Can I speak with him?
She wants to talk with you.
I'm fine. I just want
to talk to my brother.
No, it's not epilepsy. It's
an anxiety attack, nothing serious.
I have meds for it.
I just have to get used
to being alone.
If I could talk to my brother,
I'd be better.
Yes?
Okay.
You can talk to him when
he's back to the restaurant.
I want to talk today, not Friday.
Yes, has said today!
He agrees for you to talk today.
He just wants to hear what
you're saying. You understand?
Can you get up?
Can you handle the bottles?
- What day is it today?
- Wednesday.
Call him and tell him I need
to talk today, not Friday, please.
Calm down, okay?
He said he'll call.
How is he going to see him today?
He works for him on Fridays.
- Calm down and shut up!
- Call him please.
Shut up!
- You lie to me to calm me down...
- Stop it, stop it!
He said he will call,
and he will call.
- Do you smoke?
- No.
Yes?
You have 30 seconds, OK?
Hello Tori? It's me.
Why are you at Betim's today?
Real pizza or drugs?
Is it after school?
I'm okay, I needed to talk to you.
Yes, I'm glad too.
Betim, do you hear me?
Why can't Tori and I call each other?
Why not every day?
Already? No...
- Are you sure you're going to hold on?
- I have to, I need my papers.
Can't you help me
see my brother?
No.
- Alright, goodbye.
- Now I have no money, but...
When I have papers, I will work and
I can give you something as a thank you.
I said no.
Put these in the freezer
before they go bad.
See you next week.
I'll hold on, Tori.
Don't worry.
I'll get the papers.
I'll be an assistant.
And we will
live together in an apartment.
Eleven pizzas. Three euros missing.
I found them.
I could pay for her SIM card.
No phone. She'll get used to it.
Pick up the bags.
Can you give me my 11 euros?
Two chibayones for table seven.
- What pizza does your sister like?
- Margarita.
- Are you going to bring her one tonight?
- Yes.
- See you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow.
Yes?
If you bring my sister a pizza tonight,
can I get you something for her?
- What?
-My drawings, so she'll feel less alone.
- Okay.
- I'll be back in a half hour.
- How are you?
- Fine.
- Where is Lokita? - I don't know.
I haven't seen her since Sunday.
She said that she had to find money
for you, maybe she is looking for it.
- Come to the car.
- The teacher is waiting for me.
Just a moment.
He hasn't seen her since Sunday.
- Do you know where she is?
- No.
- Don't play smart, huh?
- I'm not.
- Your sister loves you very
much, you know that? - Yes.
She even asked to never bother you
about the money you owe us.
"Let my brother
go to school", she told us.
When you see her, tell her to
go to church as soon as possible.
Otherwise, we'll have
to put you to work.
If I see her, I'll tell her.
I have to go.
- Should I search him?
- No, he's a good boy. Right Tori?
- Tori!
- Yeah?
- You have to get the bike in.
- I'm going out again.
It's 9:15.
Don't worry, I'll be here at 10.
- What are you doing? - I'm going
to show my drawings to a girl.
Fine, but you be here at 10.
Yes?
- Can I put them...?
- Next to the door.
It's all my drawings,
I don't want them to get stained.
Can I put them in your car?
There's the key.
There!
- It's in the parking lot.
- I know.
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
- Lokita!
- Tori!
Wait, I'll unlock it.
Help me put it back.
Yes, I'm sleeping
over at Michael's.
Yes, she liked them a lot.
Yes, I'll be on time.
See you tomorrow.
I told her I was going
to show my drawings to a girl.
And she asked me
if she liked them.
Nadia is really nice.
When I left, she gave me her address
in case I didn't have a place to sleep
I don't like to lie to her,
but in this case I had to.
Give me your phone,
I'll try the card.
What do you think about
my idea of stealing drugs?
I don't want you to turn into
a dealer and drop out of school.
I won't drop out.
I would do it on Friday
nights, after working for Betim.
- And who will you sell it to?
- To the doorman who hates Betim.
- And if he talks?
- I'll sell it cheap, he won't talk.
- You want some rice pudding?
- Yes.
- What's your PIN code?
- 2180.
It works!
Hide under the bed.
I forgot to take photos
for the papers.
- No hurry, finish you dinner.
- No, It's okay
The background must be white
for the photos to work.
You're very tall.
The rack is visible.
That door.
50 euros if you get naked
while I film.
- No. Is it done?
- One more.
Look.
- One hundred euros?
- No.
Do you want the papers?
You don't want them?
I do.
Take off your shirt.
No no no...
Start again. Slowly.
Look at me at all times.
I feel disgusting.
He forced you.
He's the disgusting one.
I wish my mom was here.
I'm here.
A bit of that one.
And of that.
And also a bit of that one.
This is enough.
- There must be about 30 grams.
- I think so.
I'll sell it for 100 euros
for a start. - Give me some light
Accept his price, otherwise
he'll get angry and tell Betim.
I'm going to lift you up.
Wait, the bag will bother you
when you go through the hole.
- Take.
-I won't call you until I get your text.
Yes.
- See you later.
- See you later.
Hi mom, it's Lokita.
I left you some good news
on the phone.
Soon you will receive 200 euros
to enroll the kids in school.
I'll call you when I can.
Kisses for you and for all.
- I have cannabis from elsewhere.
- From where?
- I found it.
- "Found"? There's no such thing.
Did you steal it, or are you
selling it for someone else?
- I found it.
- Goodbye.
I'm selling it for a man
named Firmin.
A fat black guy,
with shaved head?
- He's not fat and has hair.
- Show me.
How did you meet this Firmin?
He was near the center where I live.
He was looking for minors to deal.
- How much does he ask?
- A hundred euros.
- Fifty.
- Nothing more?
- No.
- Okay.
- I'll tell him I couldn't get more.
- Do you have a bag?
- No.
- I'll be right back.
Okay, here.
Please, are the schnitzels
ready for table three?
- See you tomorrow.
- Can I have the focaccia?
Take it.
He said 50 and I accepted.
He just wanted to know if I stole it,
or was selling it for someone else.
You know what I told him?
That I'm selling it for Firmin.
I'll send 200...
Wait, I can't talk.
Someone came for their car.
I thought it was Betim.
Don't worry, even if it was him,
he wouldn't have seen me.
Should I send 200 to your mom,
or give 50 to Firmin?
OK, I'll send it tomorrow morning.
I'll come to see you after that.
What are you doing now?
Are you going to
hang them next to the bed?
Can I call you when I go to bed,
so you can sing me the song?
Yes, I'll run fast.
- Asif, can you lift me up to the roof?
- Barbara has forbidden you to go out?
No, there's a guy outside
that I don't want to see.
- What does he want from you?
- Money, for smuggling me and my sister.
Thank you.
And what do I get for doing it?
- Hello, sir.
- Hello.
As I am a minor, I
can't send money.
Would you agree to put your name
so I can send 200 euros to my family?
Of course. Come.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Are you going on the highway
passing through Blegny? - No.
- But the bus is marked 67.
- Yes, but I only go as far as Barchon.
You have to take the other 67, there.
Thank you.
- Hello.
- Hello.
-Does this bus cross the highway bridge?
- No. It turns right before.
- In how many stops?
- Two.
Thanks.
Lokita!
Lokita!
You wanted to scam me, huh?
- He arrived when I put the SIM card.
- Your phone!
- I don't have it.
- Give it to me!
It's in my bag--
The keys!
He's waking up!
I got them!
To the left!
Quickly, he called the others
when he saw you coming!
Lock it.
Quick!
Over here.
Don't slam it, he'll hear us!
- Which way is the highway?
- That way.
They'll look for us there.
Let's go this way.
Wait, wait.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
How did you think of
putting mud on the lock?
That's what my mother did,
so my dad couldn't come in drunk.
We can go down!
No, it hurts too much.
Lean on me
No, it hurts a lot.
Let's turn around.
Wait!
Sit down.
- Does it hurt?
- It's okay.
I'm going to try and move it
a little, to see if it's broken.
Gently.
Stop, stop!
What if I go back for my
phone, and we call Nadia?
If they see you, they will kill you.
We'll stay together.
It's always how it worked for us,
since we met on the boat
We'll go up there. At some
point there's got to be a road.
Do you hear that?
- Why don't I do it?
- Hide better and further.
If it's them, I run faster than you,
they won't catch me.
No, come on, hide in the back.
A car is coming.
Don't come out unless I call you.
- Hello.
- Hello, where are you going?
- To the hospital, my ankle is hurt.
- Come in.
- Can my brother come with me?
- What?
It's my little brother, not a man.
Don't worry. Tori!
Lady!
- She got scared when I called you.
- It's better if we do it together.
No, I'll try another way.
Go hide.
Someone's coming!
Stay hidden!
Where is the boy?
Where is he?
He went down the road...
The road near the hangar.
- It's the truth?
- Yes.
Is it true?
I took care of the girl.
The boy has gone down
the road, next to the hangar.
We'll go look for him tonight.
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
I think someone here
wants to say something.
Lokita...
If they had given you your papers,
you would have been an assistant...
and we would have lived
together in Belgium.
Now you're dead
and I'm left all alone.
For you, my big sister.
TORI AND LOKITA
- You don't remember?
- No.
It's a tributary of Ouémé.
It's called the same as the lake
you told me you lived next to.
Do you remember the name of the lake?
In Immigration you said
that before you left Benin,
You studied at the
'Titirou' school in Parakú.
Who ran the school,
a man or a woman?
A man.
- Do you remember his name?
- It was Mr. Director.
Yes, but what was his name?
I called him Mr. Director.
You said that you met your
brother again at that school.
Yes.
How did you recognize him?
I just did.
He was abandoned at birth.
You've never seen him.
How did you know it was him?
Lokita?
How did you know it was him?
It wasn't at school that I saw him.
It was in the orphanage.
When my mother died, my uncle
said that it was my brother's fault,
That he still had the powers of a
witch and that he had to be killed.
So I went to tell him.
We hid.
And then we left.
Did you know which orphanage he was in?
I knew that many witch children
were at Mama Monique's house.
So I went there.
How did you know it was him?
I asked for Tori.
How did you know his name was Tori?
He was given that name at the orphanage.
You couldn't have known.
Are you okay?
- It's better to take a pause.
- Of course.
- Do you have your medication here?
- Yes.
Do you want us to
postpone the interview?
Yes.
Lokita, wake up.
- Tori!
- Yes, I'm coming!
- Lokita...
- Tori!
- Two missing glasses, I'll get them
- And napkins.
- Don't you want to eat before you go?
- No, I'm good.
- Back by 22:00 at most.
- Yes.
Feeling better?
I've thought of more questions that
they can ask you about the orphanage.
Thank goodness she didn't
ask me to speak in Bariba.
- I forgot all about it.
- How do you say "hello"?
"Bye"?
And "thank you"?
Let me go!
We're going to miss the bus!
You can't pass
Come on, let's go.
That's enough.
- Can you fix my hair?
- Yes.
I have another question.
What color is the door of the
church next to the orphanage?
- I don't know
- Red.
She's not going to ask me
about the color of a church door.
Not necessarily,
but you have to know.
What I have to be able to
explain is how I knew it was you.
We'll figure something out.

My brother and I are
going to sing an Italian song.
- My microphone?
- It's there.
When we arrived in
Sicily, a woman, Paola,
She came to see us at the center.
She taught us a song from her town.

Yes?
Ten extra grams for a new customer.
Serbian Street no. 4.
Just before the station.
Do you know where?
Yes.
The customer will be at the door.
Carbonera and Bolognese for table six.
Caprese, table three.
- Let's go.
- Can we have 5 euros for the karaoke?
Rino!
- Rino?
- Yeah?
Did the blacks sing
for ten minutes?
Yes.
- Here.
- Thanks.
- What was the address?
- Serbian Street number 4.
450.
Ten.
- You can't get more?
- I only have 40 left.
Wait.
I'll be right back.
- Betim?
- Yes.
- Three.
- The minimum is five.
- The cook didn't tell me that.
- What did he tell you?
My pension is shit and it's
the end of the month.
I'll call him to see if he accepts.
The new customer
can only buy three.
He doesn't accept.
I'm going to talk about it
with a mate, and come back.
- I'm hungry.
- Me too.
Watch out!
Be careful when crossing!
She bought 400 euros!
Keep walking. Don't turn.
Hey, you two!
You two there, Stop!
Against the wall.
- Why did you cross without looking?
- He wanted to stay close.
- She's my sister.
- That's not a reason. Documentation.
- What time do you return to the center?
- At 10:00 p.m.
We were going to catch
the bus in the square.
The 20 grams.
Chief...
- Should we let her in?
- Yes.
Here...
Don't worry, there's ten.
He's missing one.
There's one missing
- There's only nine.
- You didn't hide one after I turned?
- No.
- We're not thieves.
Tell the cook he either lowers
the price or I'll find someone else.
The doorman says if you don't lower
the price, he will find someone else.
Well, let him start looking,
the son of a bitch.
The count is right; here.
Can we have the focaccia?
You can take everything.
Can you give us a box?
See you Friday.
- See you Friday.
- Wait!
I have to tell you something.
Go wait by the stairs.
- Want to make an extra 50 euros?
- No.
You took it the other day.
Are you asleep?
No.
Can you sing it to me?
Lokita...
Lokita!
I didn't see you in church on Sunday.
- I was sick.
- You could have let me know.
Why don't you pick up the phone?
Are you going to
send money to your mother?
Yes.
- How much?
- A hundred euros
And what about us?
Come talk to Firmin.
I don't care about your mother.
I brought you both here, you have to pay.
Do you understand, sister?
- I'll pay you on Sunday.
- Give Justine the 100 euros.
- My mother needs them...
- Give them to Justine.
Stay here!
- Search her.
- I have nothing more!
- May I?
- I said I have nothing!
Let her search you
or I'll hit you.
Your shoes...
Don't move!
You lied, sister.
How ugly.
Sunday at church. Understood?
Yes.
Can you give me something to send
to my mother? I'll pay it on Sunday.
We need it for my brothers
who start school in Garúa.
- You didn't tell me you were coming.
- I wanted to see you.
Me too. I even drew you.
Look, the teacher asked us
to draw someone we knew.
Someone you know and dislike
or someone you know and like?
Someone I like.
- What's this dot?
- A beauty mole.
You drew me with dreadlocks,
don't you like my braids?
I do, but it's easier
to draw dreadlocks.
So you prefer me with dreadlocks?
- How much do we still owe them?
- 600, plus 20 euros.
Betim asked you to deal,
why don't I do it?
- No.
- We'd have more money.
- It's better that you go to school.
- But you don't go.
I told you, when I get my papers,
I'll do a domestic service course.
Hey, mom.
Yes, I promised you 200 euros,
But the dealer who brought me
from Italy took the money
He only left me 20 euros.
When I have the papers, I
can send you more money.
I don't spend anything on myself.
You have to believe me.
It's true, you have to believe me.
Sending you kisses
Kisses to everyone.
Goodbye.
- Was she angry?
- She thinks I keep the money.
You want your meds?
Are you okay?
- Do you want me to call Nadia?
- No.
Let's continue with the questions.
How did you recognize your
brother in the orphanage?
I knew that he was born in 2011.
I asked if any witch
children were born in 2011.
No, I have to be more specific.
I will say what month you were born.
Ask me again.
How did you recognize your
brother in the orphanage?
I knew that...
I knew that he was
born in December 2011.
I asked if any witch children
were born in December 2011.
And there was only one.
Trick question:
Do you remember if there were
trees in the orphanage garden?
No, I don't remember.
Good, because there
were no trees nor a garden.
- How long has it been?
- 35 minutes.
- Too long. It doesn't sound good.
- Everything will be fine.
You weren't accepted?
She was unable to
answer some questions.
Come sit down.
Come on.
One minute, I'm coming.
Why can't my sister
have her papers?
- Who are you?
- Tori, Lokita's brother.
Ask Lokita, she knows.
Excuse me, I have a meeting.
I swear she is my sister.
Without her, I'd be dead.
Why do I have papers
and she can't have them?
You were a persecuted witch
child, your files prove it.
They also tried to
kill her for helping me.
It's the same thing.
Her lawyer proposed
a DNA test to prove it.
It's the best solution.
- Excuse me, I have to go.
- Ma'am!
What am I going to do
here without her?
- Why don't you give her the papers?
- I'd like to, but I can't.
Goodbye
We don't want to separate,
three months is a long time. Can't we...?
No!
- Just once a week?
- I said no!
You want fake papers,
I find a solution for you...
and now you negotiate with me.
Are you crazy?
- Do you want the papers or not?
- Yes.
- Can we meet at least on Sunday?
- No.
- I need an answer tomorrow
morning at the latest, OK? - Yes.
- How will we send money to your mom?
- And to Firmin.
I'm gonna work to pay for the
papers, so I won't earn anything?
That's right.
You have a bed, food, and
when you finish, the papers.
Turn it off.
On the market they cost a
minimum of 10,000 euros.
Can I still deal on Fridays?
I told you, you have to
be there permanently. Come on.
How will we send money
to our mother?
That's none of my business! Go away!
And your mother would
have 50 euros every week.
But it takes at least an hour.
You can't go in at 23:00.
- I'll go by bike.
- What bike?
There is one at the center.
I just have to fix it.
It's my obligation to earn
money for the family, my obligation!
Stop, Lokita!
Why don't they want to
give me the papers, Tori?
- Why?
- They don't want us.
You're bleeding, come sit.
Does it hurt?
Not much.
You're very nice, Tori.
There is no one like you.
No one.
So you don't see where we're going.
I don't understand.
I'm going to blindfold you,
so you can't see where we're going
Turn your head.
It's better for us and for you.
Lift your feet.
I'm taking the blindfold off.
To turn the light on.
There's also a lamp here,
A flashlight, in case of a cut
Earplugs... there's still plenty.
The guy who was here before
you got used to the noise quickly.
The bathroom.
The light is here.
If you run out of paper or
shampoo, tell us and we'll bring it.
Same thing with food.
There's frozen food in the freezer.
And other stuff in the fridge.
If you want something special,
make a list and we'll bring it to you.
- You know how to use the microwave?
- Yes.
This is for the TV...
Headphones
The most important...
If there is a problem...
If you hear a strange noise
or that someone trying to break in,
or you smell something burning;
you press here three seconds.
It will connect with the mobile of
someone who lives nearby.
If you smell burning, you have
to do something else, come...
- No clean sheets?
- Haven't you brought your bag?
Yes, but I don't want to
put it on top, it's very dirty.
Wash them here.
There's detergent.
On top of calling us when
you smell burning, come here...
After pressing the alarm
button, you come here
and you turn this down.
It cuts the power.
Any questions?
Where do I go if there is a fire?
If there is, it will be in the
little rooms. The walls resist fire.
I'll show you the job.
Better take off your jacket,
it's 30°C in the little rooms.
- Not gonna take it off?
- I'm fine.
You're going to roast.
Go in.
Always close the door,
to keep the heat inside.
Do it.
When the plant touches the wire,
you lift the chain six links.
Like this. Come do it here.
OK, put it down.
Let's do that one.
I said six, not seven.
- What is that?
- My cellphone.
- Don't answer. Who is Tori?
- My brother.
Betim didn't tell you? No phones.
The cops track them down.
- I need it to...
- Call your friends and steal the product?
- How am I going to call my brother?
- Shut up and close the door.
I'll give you the SIM card back
in three months. Come.
I want to call my brother.
Let's make a deal.
Every time you say "I want"...
you get this.
Ask me without saying "I want".
- Can I call my brother?
- What does he do?
He works with me for Betim.
Tomorrow, I will bring a prepaid cell
phone and you will call in front of me.
One,
two,
three...
Hello?
Can you help me?
- He didn't give you a phone for me?
- No.
I've been waiting for it for three days.
He only gave me your shopping list.
- Can't you call him to come?
- Not possible, he is in Holland.
Hey, are you okay?
What's wrong with you?
You need to calm down, OK?
Calm down.
Feeling better?
Hey, are you better?
- Tori...
- What?
- I want Tori.
- What is Tori?
My brother.
I want to talk to him.
Now.
Wait.
I'm going to call Betim
to see if he agrees.
Yes. It's Margot.
The gardener's
had an epileptic fit...
It's not epilepsy, I'm not sick.
Can I speak with him?
She wants to talk with you.
I'm fine. I just want
to talk to my brother.
No, it's not epilepsy. It's
an anxiety attack, nothing serious.
I have meds for it.
I just have to get used
to being alone.
If I could talk to my brother,
I'd be better.
Yes?
Okay.
You can talk to him when
he's back to the restaurant.
I want to talk today, not Friday.
Yes, has said today!
He agrees for you to talk today.
He just wants to hear what
you're saying. You understand?
Can you get up?
Can you handle the bottles?
- What day is it today?
- Wednesday.
Call him and tell him I need
to talk today, not Friday, please.
Calm down, okay?
He said he'll call.
How is he going to see him today?
He works for him on Fridays.
- Calm down and shut up!
- Call him please.
Shut up!
- You lie to me to calm me down...
- Stop it, stop it!
He said he will call,
and he will call.
- Do you smoke?
- No.
Yes?
You have 30 seconds, OK?
Hello Tori? It's me.
Why are you at Betim's today?
Real pizza or drugs?
Is it after school?
I'm okay, I needed to talk to you.
Yes, I'm glad too.
Betim, do you hear me?
Why can't Tori and I call each other?
Why not every day?
Already? No...
- Are you sure you're going to hold on?
- I have to, I need my papers.
Can't you help me
see my brother?
No.
- Alright, goodbye.
- Now I have no money, but...
When I have papers, I will work and
I can give you something as a thank you.
I said no.
Put these in the freezer
before they go bad.
See you next week.
I'll hold on, Tori.
Don't worry.
I'll get the papers.
I'll be an assistant.
And we will
live together in an apartment.
Eleven pizzas. Three euros missing.
I found them.
I could pay for her SIM card.
No phone. She'll get used to it.
Pick up the bags.
Can you give me my 11 euros?
Two chibayones for table seven.
- What pizza does your sister like?
- Margarita.
- Are you going to bring her one tonight?
- Yes.
- See you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow.
Yes?
If you bring my sister a pizza tonight,
can I get you something for her?
- What?
-My drawings, so she'll feel less alone.
- Okay.
- I'll be back in a half hour.
- How are you?
- Fine.
- Where is Lokita? - I don't know.
I haven't seen her since Sunday.
She said that she had to find money
for you, maybe she is looking for it.
- Come to the car.
- The teacher is waiting for me.
Just a moment.
He hasn't seen her since Sunday.
- Do you know where she is?
- No.
- Don't play smart, huh?
- I'm not.
- Your sister loves you very
much, you know that? - Yes.
She even asked to never bother you
about the money you owe us.
"Let my brother
go to school", she told us.
When you see her, tell her to
go to church as soon as possible.
Otherwise, we'll have
to put you to work.
If I see her, I'll tell her.
I have to go.
- Should I search him?
- No, he's a good boy. Right Tori?
- Tori!
- Yeah?
- You have to get the bike in.
- I'm going out again.
It's 9:15.
Don't worry, I'll be here at 10.
- What are you doing? - I'm going
to show my drawings to a girl.
Fine, but you be here at 10.
Yes?
- Can I put them...?
- Next to the door.
It's all my drawings,
I don't want them to get stained.
Can I put them in your car?
There's the key.
There!
- It's in the parking lot.
- I know.
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
- Lokita!
- Tori!
Wait, I'll unlock it.
Help me put it back.
Yes, I'm sleeping
over at Michael's.
Yes, she liked them a lot.
Yes, I'll be on time.
See you tomorrow.
I told her I was going
to show my drawings to a girl.
And she asked me
if she liked them.
Nadia is really nice.
When I left, she gave me her address
in case I didn't have a place to sleep
I don't like to lie to her,
but in this case I had to.
Give me your phone,
I'll try the card.
What do you think about
my idea of stealing drugs?
I don't want you to turn into
a dealer and drop out of school.
I won't drop out.
I would do it on Friday
nights, after working for Betim.
- And who will you sell it to?
- To the doorman who hates Betim.
- And if he talks?
- I'll sell it cheap, he won't talk.
- You want some rice pudding?
- Yes.
- What's your PIN code?
- 2180.
It works!
Hide under the bed.
I forgot to take photos
for the papers.
- No hurry, finish you dinner.
- No, It's okay
The background must be white
for the photos to work.
You're very tall.
The rack is visible.
That door.
50 euros if you get naked
while I film.
- No. Is it done?
- One more.
Look.
- One hundred euros?
- No.
Do you want the papers?
You don't want them?
I do.
Take off your shirt.
No no no...
Start again. Slowly.
Look at me at all times.
I feel disgusting.
He forced you.
He's the disgusting one.
I wish my mom was here.
I'm here.
A bit of that one.
And of that.
And also a bit of that one.
This is enough.
- There must be about 30 grams.
- I think so.
I'll sell it for 100 euros
for a start. - Give me some light
Accept his price, otherwise
he'll get angry and tell Betim.
I'm going to lift you up.
Wait, the bag will bother you
when you go through the hole.
- Take.
-I won't call you until I get your text.
Yes.
- See you later.
- See you later.
Hi mom, it's Lokita.
I left you some good news
on the phone.
Soon you will receive 200 euros
to enroll the kids in school.
I'll call you when I can.
Kisses for you and for all.
- I have cannabis from elsewhere.
- From where?
- I found it.
- "Found"? There's no such thing.
Did you steal it, or are you
selling it for someone else?
- I found it.
- Goodbye.
I'm selling it for a man
named Firmin.
A fat black guy,
with shaved head?
- He's not fat and has hair.
- Show me.
How did you meet this Firmin?
He was near the center where I live.
He was looking for minors to deal.
- How much does he ask?
- A hundred euros.
- Fifty.
- Nothing more?
- No.
- Okay.
- I'll tell him I couldn't get more.
- Do you have a bag?
- No.
- I'll be right back.
Okay, here.
Please, are the schnitzels
ready for table three?
- See you tomorrow.
- Can I have the focaccia?
Take it.
He said 50 and I accepted.
He just wanted to know if I stole it,
or was selling it for someone else.
You know what I told him?
That I'm selling it for Firmin.
I'll send 200...
Wait, I can't talk.
Someone came for their car.
I thought it was Betim.
Don't worry, even if it was him,
he wouldn't have seen me.
Should I send 200 to your mom,
or give 50 to Firmin?
OK, I'll send it tomorrow morning.
I'll come to see you after that.
What are you doing now?
Are you going to
hang them next to the bed?
Can I call you when I go to bed,
so you can sing me the song?
Yes, I'll run fast.
- Asif, can you lift me up to the roof?
- Barbara has forbidden you to go out?
No, there's a guy outside
that I don't want to see.
- What does he want from you?
- Money, for smuggling me and my sister.
Thank you.
And what do I get for doing it?
- Hello, sir.
- Hello.
As I am a minor, I
can't send money.
Would you agree to put your name
so I can send 200 euros to my family?
Of course. Come.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Are you going on the highway
passing through Blegny? - No.
- But the bus is marked 67.
- Yes, but I only go as far as Barchon.
You have to take the other 67, there.
Thank you.
- Hello.
- Hello.
-Does this bus cross the highway bridge?
- No. It turns right before.
- In how many stops?
- Two.
Thanks.
Lokita!
Lokita!
You wanted to scam me, huh?
- He arrived when I put the SIM card.
- Your phone!
- I don't have it.
- Give it to me!
It's in my bag--
The keys!
He's waking up!
I got them!
To the left!
Quickly, he called the others
when he saw you coming!
Lock it.
Quick!
Over here.
Don't slam it, he'll hear us!
- Which way is the highway?
- That way.
They'll look for us there.
Let's go this way.
Wait, wait.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
How did you think of
putting mud on the lock?
That's what my mother did,
so my dad couldn't come in drunk.
We can go down!
No, it hurts too much.
Lean on me
No, it hurts a lot.
Let's turn around.
Wait!
Sit down.
- Does it hurt?
- It's okay.
I'm going to try and move it
a little, to see if it's broken.
Gently.
Stop, stop!
What if I go back for my
phone, and we call Nadia?
If they see you, they will kill you.
We'll stay together.
It's always how it worked for us,
since we met on the boat
We'll go up there. At some
point there's got to be a road.
Do you hear that?
- Why don't I do it?
- Hide better and further.
If it's them, I run faster than you,
they won't catch me.
No, come on, hide in the back.
A car is coming.
Don't come out unless I call you.
- Hello.
- Hello, where are you going?
- To the hospital, my ankle is hurt.
- Come in.
- Can my brother come with me?
- What?
It's my little brother, not a man.
Don't worry. Tori!
Lady!
- She got scared when I called you.
- It's better if we do it together.
No, I'll try another way.
Go hide.
Someone's coming!
Stay hidden!
Where is the boy?
Where is he?
He went down the road...
The road near the hangar.
- It's the truth?
- Yes.
Is it true?
I took care of the girl.
The boy has gone down
the road, next to the hangar.
We'll go look for him tonight.
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
Lokita!
I think someone here
wants to say something.

If they had given you your papers,

Now you're dead
and I'm left all alone.
For you, my big sister.
