Short filmTranscript
00:04Our names were whispered through time, from generation to generation.
00:16I was an Egyptian slave, but she changed all that.
00:32The woman who bowed to no one.
00:37I was in search of freedom.
00:40She was in search of faith.
00:42Our lives were to become one.
00:48The story started long ago, in a marketplace in Haran.
01:08Blue, there's the sea itself.
01:11I've never even seen the sea.
01:13Uh-huh.
01:17How much is it?
01:19For you, ten shekels.
01:24Perhaps another day.
01:26A city?
01:28You think so?
01:30Not very much there.
01:31Sarai!
01:32Sarai!
01:32I've been looking for you everywhere!
01:34What's wrong, mother?
01:35I'll be in the Garibide.
01:36He's making you father on Uphar.
01:40A dozen prime ewes for your daughter's hand.
01:43What say you?
01:44It's an acceptable bride price, I suppose.
01:47What say you, Sarai?
01:49Do you consent?
01:50What need have you for a wife, Abim?
01:53Don't you already have one?
01:55What other?
01:56She gave me three sons.
01:57I want more.
01:58Well, I ask again.
02:01Do you consent?
02:03To marrying a man I hardly know.
02:06Much less admire.
02:08I think not.
02:10Sarai.
02:14It seems that your daughter has what some would call a spirited nature.
02:18She's long been that way.
02:20Apologize, Sarai.
02:21No.
02:21Bout to your betrothed and accept his forgiveness.
02:29I bow to no man.
02:33Well, now that I've had a look at you up close, you're not worth a dozen prime ewes to begin
02:39with.
02:40Hey!
02:41You heard the lady.
02:42Move on.
02:42This has nothing to do with you, boy.
02:45Shame.
02:47You have more beauty than sense.
02:54Look what you've gone and done.
02:56No man will marry you now.
03:05No man will marry you now.
03:09Are you all right?
03:13Are you?
03:22Listen, Sarai, I haven't.
03:25It doesn't sheave to my name or anything even close, but I'd be proud to be your husband.
03:34Abram.
03:34Not someone to bow to, but to stand shoulder to shoulder with, no matter what life might bring.
03:43Finally, I thought you might not ever ask.
03:47Will you have me, Sarai?
03:53I'll stand with you, Abram, and be your wife until the day I die.
04:02May it bring children, many, many children.
04:17Abram.
04:24You remembered?
04:26Of course.
04:27A picnic.
04:29A picnic.
04:33Twenty-five years.
04:34I remember, too.
04:37I just finished.
04:39Ah.
04:41Ah.
04:42It's beautiful.
04:43I love it.
04:45Your favorite color.
04:53It's all right.
04:55Did you ever think about taking another wife?
04:58Well, that's quite the question to ask your husband on our anniversary day.
05:01Most men in your position would have.
05:03Most men are not married to a woman like you.
05:07You are my wife.
05:10And no other.
05:12I failed you.
05:14No.
05:15Your bloodline ends with me.
05:19When we die, your name dies with us.
05:21Stop this.
05:22Tell me the truth, my husband.
05:26Here and now.
05:30Would you still have married me if you'd known I couldn't give you children?
05:35Shoulder to shoulder, no matter what life might bring.
05:39Remember when I said that?
05:42Like it was yesterday.
05:54Like it was yesterday.
06:17Did you hear that?
06:21I mean, it's just the wind.
06:23Can we go back to sleep?
06:25I mean, it's just the wind.
06:28I mean, it's just the wind.
06:30I mean, it's just the wind.
06:33I mean, it's just the wind.
06:34I mean, it's just the wind.
06:36I mean, it's just the wind.
06:38I mean, it's just the wind.
06:40I mean, it's just the wind.
06:41I mean, it's just the wind.
06:41I mean, it's just the wind.
06:42I mean, it's just the wind.
06:43I mean, it's just the wind.
06:43I mean, it's just the wind.
06:44I mean, it's just the wind.
06:44I mean, it's just the wind.
06:45I mean, it's just the wind.
06:47I mean, it's just the wind.
06:48I mean, it's just the wind.
06:52I mean, it's just the wind.
07:02I'm sorry, didn't you wake your heart?
07:04I'm tired.
07:05Is it his cough?
07:07If you put some mint and some honey in your tea, it should do the trick.
07:12Oh, oh.
07:13Oh, look.
07:15How did you get so big?
07:19Abram?
07:22Abram?
07:27He spoke to me.
07:30What?
07:32He spoke to me.
07:34Who?
07:35God.
07:37God?
07:38What God?
07:40God.
07:44What does he look like? Does he have a name?
07:47I did not say. I didn't see him.
07:51So, it was just a warning.
07:53A voice then?
07:54A voice.
07:57Presence.
07:59Describe.
08:01Go forth, he said, from your native land and to the land that I will show you.
08:09And you want to do this because of a dream?
08:14It wasn't a dream.
08:15No.
08:16I am as certain of that as my love for you.
08:19He said he would make a great nation of me.
08:23Children, Sarai.
08:24He's going to give us children.
08:26Those were his words.
08:28Those were his words to you, Abram?
08:30Yes.
08:31And I have to go.
08:34I must follow where God leads me.
08:36But I can't do this without you.
08:40Please, my love.
08:44You must trust me.
08:48Please, trust me.
08:53I trust you.
08:59If you need me to do this, I will go with you.
09:13Eliezer, fill these as well.
09:16We must bring as much water as we can carry.
09:18I'll make sure there's enough for all the silence.
09:23Sarai, I worry for your safety, my daughter.
09:26Take these household idols to protect you on your travels.
09:32Abram will protect me.
09:40Do we meet again, Father?
09:45I fear that's not to be.
09:48Not in this lifetime.
10:05We'll be here and for your friends.
10:09You might not be here.
10:11What's going on?
10:13I hope you're here.
10:14I hope you're here.
10:16De'a'un.
10:22I know.
10:25Ares are all perfect.
10:25Bye...
10:39We have to find water.
10:42Grass to pasture our flock.
10:45Where? There's drought across the entire Levant.
10:47Then we head south to Egypt.
10:50No matter the drought, the Nile still flows.
11:10Come on.
11:13The Nile.
11:18The little ones.
11:21Cheers.
11:22Cheers.
11:23Cheers.

13:41can I
13:41can I
14:12What is your name?
14:15Sarai.
14:17Tell me, Sarai.
14:19Are you of royal blood?
14:23No, Pharaoh.
14:24Are you a goddess?
14:27No, Pharaoh.
14:28Yet you refuse to bow in my presence.
14:33I decided long ago I would bow to no man.
14:36And you say it was not person?
14:39I meant no offense.
14:40What about a god?
14:42Would you deign to bow before?
14:44If I encountered one?
14:52It is all right.
14:56She is new to Egypt.
15:02She does not know.
15:11What if you meet a god and you do not recognize him?
15:16He would recognize me.
15:20Know what's in my heart?
15:22My every thought?
15:24That I meant no offense?
15:32Since none was meant, the nun is taken.
15:39I shall not kill her.
15:43Pharaoh will keep her.
15:52It's a great honor to have Pharaoh take you as a wife.
15:56A wife?
15:57Was that your husband who tried to stop you from being taken away?
16:02No.
16:04No, it was my brother.
16:06Good.
16:07Unless Messi that way.
16:09I'll see to him he's paid a handsome price.
16:12Hey, girl.
16:15Cleaner and dresser for Pharaoh tonight.
16:17Consider this slave girl the betrothal gift.
16:21It's Pharaoh's desire that his wives be happy here.
16:29You were right to lie about your husband.
16:34The Pharaoh would have had him killed.
16:37Come with me, please.
16:48You love your husband very much.
16:51He's my world.
16:54I do know what it means to give someone up so that they might live.
17:01I wasn't born a slave, you know.
17:04My people were reed farmers inshore.
17:10We worshipped the wrong god, so Pharaoh had our village raised and our field salted.
17:18My family were starving.
17:21I sold myself for three pieces of silver to a passing slave trader.
17:26So they could live.
17:29I'll see them again.
17:32Someday.
17:33Where did you leave home?
17:35You and your husband.
17:37My husband's God promised us children.
17:41Why would his God promise you such a thing only to cause you to end up here?
17:45Makes no sense.
17:50Maybe it was his way of telling him to find another wife.
17:54When he could give him a child that I can't.
18:03He'll tire of you soon enough.
18:06The Pharaoh.
18:07He'll move on to his next new toy.
18:20There's no way out of here.
18:22If there was, I would have found it.
18:59Come closer.
19:06You almost look Egyptian.
19:10Almost.
19:15But not so much.
19:19Underneath this paint and dress, I can still see your disdain.
19:31You are far away from home.
19:36How is it that you came to Egypt?
19:41My brother's God ordered us to leave Haran.
19:46Which God?
19:48Maybe I know it.
19:51Look around you.
19:56These, my ancestors.
20:00They go back centuries.
20:03Who knows?
20:04Maybe one day it will be your countenance that adores these sacred walls.
20:13Ignore.
20:19Pharaoh commands you.
20:21Pharaoh commands you.
20:25You.
20:29You're firing you.
20:32I like that.
20:35Now, take it off.
20:53What is this?
20:55Did you poison them?
20:57You witch!
20:58What magic is this?
20:59What have you done to me?
21:00It's not our favor.
21:07Goats!
21:10Goats!
21:14Goats!
21:15Leave her!
21:16Let her go!
21:18She's a witch!
21:21Leave!
21:22Leave and never come back!
21:23Take your slave girl and see that you both have a return on a bane of death.
21:29Hang on. Come, come here.
21:55Oh, my beloved, you're alive.
22:03Did they hurt you? Are you, are you harmed?
22:07No.
22:09No.
22:11Was it God? Did God save you?
22:15I can't explain it.
22:22Who is this?
22:25There you go. She's coming with us.
22:38So that one day I might see my home again.
22:47I was banished from my homeland, and my life was saved by this stranger.
22:54I had witnessed a power that could make a pharaoh cower in pain.
23:00I could have run away, but I chose to follow her into the unknown.
23:07Wherever it would lead.
23:18Good place to start a family.
23:30You need to start saving your first morning blood.
23:33Saving it for what?
23:35To soak these in.
23:37If it's a boy, the barley will sprout, and if it's a girl, the wheat.
23:40Oh, Hagar.
23:42Abram's God did not bring you out of Egypt to not give you a child.
23:45But you have to do your part.
23:47And so does he.
23:51We've been married 30 years.
23:54Luckily, I found these down at the bog this morning.
23:57What are they?
23:58Mandrakes.
23:59You roast them and then slip them in his tea.
24:02It'll be like your wedding night all over again.
24:06Thank you, Hagar.
24:18Thank you, Hagar.
24:29Thank you, Hagar.
24:33Thank you, Hagar.
24:39Thank you, Hagar.
24:41Thank you, Hagar.
24:41Well, next time.
25:17I always have a...
25:20Yes.
25:21She's also mile-high, it's right.
25:36Mama's coming.
25:43Where are you?
25:45Where are you?
25:47What?
25:49It's all right. Are you all right?
25:51Everything's fine. Go back to sleep.
26:27Hey!
26:30We did what you asked!
26:32And nothing!
26:33My womb stays closed!
26:36What sort of a god are you?
26:39Ah?
26:40Your promises mean nothing!
26:45Say something!
26:50Say something!
26:53Say something!
26:55Say something!
26:55Say something!
26:56Say something!
27:16Say something!
27:18Say something!
27:20Perhaps tomorrow I'll tell you a story of how God saved a certain someone we might know from!
27:25The Pharaoh himself!
27:27I think it's time for bed!
27:42I think it's time for bed!
27:44The Pharaoh!
27:45As if it were one of the sagas!
27:48Who knows!
27:48It might be one day!
27:50Pardon the interruption!
27:52Peter and I have something to ask!
27:54Celila and I hope to marry!
27:56And with your blessing, start a family!
27:59Yes!
28:00Of course!
28:00Give you my blessing with joy!
28:03And may God grant you many, many children!
28:06Thank you!
28:17Remember when that was us?
28:19I remember!
28:20Oh, Abram!
28:22Maybe it's time!
28:25Time for us to accept that it's never gonna happen!
28:28And for us to name an heir!
28:33God promised us a child!
28:34I am past the ways of women now!
28:38Can we please stop pretending otherwise?
28:44I was thinking Eliezer.
28:46He's good and born of our household.
28:51He's loyal.
28:56We'll talk about it in the morning.
29:15He does not miss the rest.
29:16I will get better now!
29:17I can't even see him!
29:19He will be the best to know the rest...
29:19He will be the best in his life!
29:20You are too late to meet this!
29:22And he has to return to his prince!
29:22I knew that he was lucky!
29:23That's true!
29:28And, honestly, he would be.
29:40Abram?
29:44What happened here?
29:46We made a covenant here now.
29:48A covenant?
29:50Sealed in blood.
29:52He spoke to me, Sarai.
29:55After so many years of silence, he spoke to me again.
29:59What did he say?
30:01That I would have descendants like stars in the sky.
30:06Not of Eliezer, but of my own flesh.
30:09He promised me a son.
30:12A son of your own flesh?
30:14That's what he said, yes.
30:16And of mine also?
30:20Did he say that, Abram?
30:22Why would he need to?
30:24Who else would it be?
30:26You are my wife, and no other.
30:33A son of his own flesh?
30:36That's what God told him.
30:38His, not mine.
30:41Kind of a cruel God.
30:43Tries to make me think that a woman my age could have a child.
30:49What if he can't?
30:50You're blessed.
30:52You have a loving husband.
30:54A community.
30:55I know.
30:58Do you want to be a mother one day?
31:00Of course.
31:03How could that happen?
31:04I'm an Egyptian slave.
31:06Who would marry me?
31:10Hagar.
31:13What if meeting in Pharaoh's palace wasn't an accident?
31:17What if we were brought together for a purpose?
31:22I think there is a child.
31:24It's not of my womb.
31:27But the son that Abram sees is his, and maybe yours.
31:39You want, you want me to lie with Abram?
31:42I want you to have a child on my behalf.
31:44And in return, I will help you get back home to your family.
31:48The Pharaoh who banished us from Egypt no longer rules.
31:51Oh.
31:53With my family again?
31:54It's what you've always wanted.
31:55It's what I've always wanted.
31:58And you can marry, you can have children of your own.
32:10Yes.
32:13Yes, I'll do this thing you asked.
32:16You have given me so much.
32:18I will help.
32:20Give you the child that you've been promised.
32:31It's all here.
32:33You bear the child on my knee, and then by law, he's mine.
32:36And after that?
32:38Home.
32:41Once we make our mark, there's no turning back.
33:01Every month on the quarter moon.
33:03Since I was a girl.
33:05Well, then, tonight it is.
33:14It's so pretty.
33:21Come.
33:23Oh.
33:29Ooh, good wine.
33:31It's from Kith.
33:33Expensive wine.
33:34Ah.
33:37Well.
33:40It's a special night.
33:42Hmm?
33:43How so?
33:45Go to ensure your bloodline.
33:50Lie with Hagar, Abram, so that we might have a child by her.
33:56That's right.
33:57Abram, God told you that we would have a family.
34:02Yes.
34:04You and I.
34:05We will have a family.
34:08But only by Hagar.
34:12Abram, please.
34:27I have loved only one my whole life.
34:39Aagar.
34:42Agur.
34:44Agur.
34:46Agur.
35:05Stay anyway.
36:48Please lie with her until she is with a child.
36:53But remember, husband,
36:57she's a woman
36:59with a woman's heart.
37:28You're very beautiful.
37:31I don't know why I haven't noticed that
37:32until now.
37:43You tell me about them, your family.
37:51I have two younger brothers, Han and Creel.
37:57Han and Creel.
37:59What are they like?
38:03And I can't wait to see them.
38:26Good boy.
38:27Avram!
38:40A boy.
38:43A son.
