00:00:01THEYasing
00:00:14Bastards.
00:00:16Good day, Leena.
00:00:18Sergeant.
00:00:24Good day, Jacob!
00:00:25Sergeant Stewart.
00:00:27So, she finally got the place open.
00:00:30Nice business to have.
00:00:32I imagine it is.
00:00:42These new laws are making life bloody hard for the police.
00:00:45They're not making it a picnic for the rest of us either.
00:00:48My colleague's waiting in the car.
00:00:51He has a problem with this sort of thing.
00:00:54We all know it's an offence for blacks to eat in the same place as whites.
00:00:58There are no whites here. Present company excluded.
00:01:02There's non-blacks then.
00:01:05This is an Indian area.
00:01:07Maybe coloreds, but no blacks.
00:01:12Boss Cooks.
00:01:13You know they have bosses.
00:01:15I want to see them. Now!
00:01:22This is only a travel permit.
00:01:25Yes, sir.
00:01:26Where's your pass?
00:01:27But I don't have a pass, sir.
00:01:29I'm colored not black.
00:01:30You look like a cafe to me.
00:01:32Her father was Dutch.
00:01:35Like mine.
00:01:36You understand, Jacob?
00:01:37It's trying to be difficult.
00:01:40Stuart, what are you talking to these people for?
00:01:44Calm down.
00:01:45You keep serving blacks and we'll kill the lot of them.
00:01:58Ma'am, it would be safer for you to leave now.
00:02:01You don't have to pay for the...
00:02:03I haven't finished my coffee yet, Mr...
00:02:05Williams.
00:02:07Jacob Williams.
00:02:08I'm Madeleine Smith.
00:02:09You run the post office.
00:02:11Well, you come in at 10 a.m. every Tuesday and Friday.
00:02:15You're Amina's business partner, aren't you?
00:02:18Uh...
00:02:19Well, no, ma'am.
00:02:20I, uh...
00:02:21I just work for Amina.
00:02:22Uh...
00:02:23I'm sorry.
00:02:24I forgot.
00:02:25Partnership would be illegal, wouldn't it?
00:02:32Thank you for shielding me from the police.
00:02:42Would you excuse me?
00:02:51What is it?
00:02:54My grandmother.
00:02:57We'll get a new glass, new frame.
00:02:59Are you okay?
00:03:02And you?
00:03:03I'm not so old that I can't die for cover.
00:03:07Not to mention flirt with the customers.
00:03:14What is it?
00:03:29You're home.
00:03:29Hm?
00:03:30Your milk?
00:03:37We're coming in, get ready for school, both of you!
00:03:40Thank God, we're moving out in a couple of months.
00:03:44before the next one comes.
00:03:46It's all right, Mama.
00:03:52Okay, Sami Asmin, upstairs, hmm?
00:03:55Go, brush your teeth, get your books.
00:03:57Okay.
00:03:59Off.
00:04:19He said yes, we can go.
00:04:22Where?
00:04:23Out for lunch, to the location café.
00:04:26I can't believe our husbands are letting us out of here.
00:04:29Come on, Miriam, get dressed.
00:04:47Good morning.
00:04:49I'm so sorry.
00:04:54I'm so sorry.
00:04:55I'm sorry, thank you, don't miss.
00:04:58Please eat.
00:05:02They have staff to do that.
00:05:12Good morning, ladies.
00:05:14Good morning.
00:05:15Our special today is lamb reedy,
00:05:17and have some nice fresh cook sisters.
00:05:19What are cook sisters?
00:05:21It's a South African delicacy.
00:05:24A fried doughnut with syrup and coconut.
00:05:27Here, try one.
00:05:29See if you like it.
00:05:39It's delicious.
00:05:40Good.
00:05:41I'll send some over,
00:05:43and I promise I try not to drop them this time.
00:05:49She thinks a lot of herself.
00:05:51Maybe she should.
00:05:53She owns a business, and she's one of us.
00:05:55No, she's not.
00:05:57Why do you see any of our girls looking like that?
00:06:00Like what?
00:06:01Are you blind?
00:06:03Like a man.
00:06:07Maybe it's easier to work in trousers.
00:06:23Daddy, is it far?
00:06:25I told you Deloq's in the country.
00:06:26You'll like it there.
00:06:29Do we have a house there like our old one?
00:06:31It'll be much bigger and better than the old one.
00:06:33A big shop underneath.
00:06:35You'll walk in it.
00:06:36I will.
00:06:37And your mother?
00:06:38And we'll have a boy to help us.
00:06:40And we'll have a night watchman to guard the place at night.
00:06:59Shall we leave?
00:08:10We need to work hard.
00:08:12That's all.
00:09:27She would have been proud of you.
00:09:47Hello, bye.
00:09:49Mrs. Benjamin is making some tea.
00:09:52She says you should go and help her.
00:09:57How hard is it to make tea?
00:10:04Here. It will give you some energy.
00:10:08Are you okay?
00:10:10Shall I call her?
00:10:16No.
00:10:17Okay.
00:10:19Going already?
00:10:20Yes, I need to go to the shop.
00:10:22Don't worry about it. Your sister-in-law is there.
00:10:26Here, love.
00:10:28Have a nice cup of tea.
00:10:29Thank you, Mrs. Benjamin.
00:10:31He's not one for a jet, is he?
00:10:34No.
00:10:37He's not.
00:10:44There's nobody here.
00:10:48I don't know who you think is going to come flooding in to buy groceries at this time of the
00:10:52day. Or any time.
00:10:57No.
00:10:57Where's the boy?
00:10:58Robert.
00:11:00He's making deliveries.
00:11:02He'll be back.
00:11:03Later.
00:11:05What are you doing?
00:11:07Has it been so long that you don't even remember?
00:11:11I suppose she doesn't like you to touch her when she's pregnant.
00:11:14No.
00:11:33You come to Cape Town once a week.
00:11:36Come and see me.
00:11:49Sit down.
00:11:51Sit down.
00:11:57Sit down.
00:11:58Sit down.
00:12:02So what do you do after school?
00:12:04Homework.
00:12:05Good.
00:12:06Good.
00:12:11Do it then.
00:12:13I don't have any homework.
00:12:14Why not?
00:12:15She's only five. She doesn't get to homework until big school.
00:12:23Hello, Mr. Husband. Or should I say, Mr. Father.
00:12:27Is it a boy?
00:12:28What a question.
00:12:29You have a beautiful baby girl.
00:12:45My son, it's been so long.
00:13:04All these Africans, that's a problem with this country.
00:13:09Too many black people.
00:13:11You should come home, my son.
00:13:13It is a better life.
00:13:15How will Amina find a good husband here?
00:13:18There are plenty of families when she's ready.
00:13:20Of course she's ready. Where is she anyway?
00:13:25She couldn't come.
00:13:27Working? Did you say she's working?
00:13:29Where is she working?
00:13:31Cape Town.
00:13:35The girl needs to be brought back to a decent way of living.
00:13:39Why is she working? What is she doing?
00:13:44She must mix more.
00:13:45I know her family.
00:13:47The Ali's.
00:13:48Do you know them?
00:13:49Yes.
00:13:50We'll have them for dinner.
00:13:51On Sunday.
00:13:53Your son never lets us invite anyone.
00:14:00Amina will never come.
00:14:02It is Amina's duty to be where we tell her.
00:14:05She will come.
00:14:13Amina.
00:14:14You're late.
00:14:15They're here already.
00:14:16Hurry up inside.
00:14:17Who's here?
00:14:18Where are you going?
00:14:20Inside?
00:14:20Like this.
00:14:22Like this.
00:14:23Mom.
00:14:24This is who I am.
00:14:25What else do you want me to wear?
00:14:46I'll help you serve the food.
00:14:49I don't see why people say that our girls are too modern.
00:14:53They may want to go out for a while and find out things for themselves.
00:14:56But I think our girls always find it best to stay at home in the end.
00:15:02Doesn't Amina work anymore then?
00:15:04Only now and then.
00:15:06But what about the cafe?
00:15:06Why isn't anybody eating?
00:15:08Things have been so busy at the garage lately.
00:15:12I don't have time to stop for one minute.
00:15:16Sometimes I wish Amina was helping me again.
00:15:19Then how many children would you like, Amina?
00:15:22Oh, um, I don't know.
00:15:24I suppose two or three would be nice.
00:15:28Do you want only boys?
00:15:29What would make you think I'd want boys tall?
00:15:31What rubbish?
00:15:32Everybody wants a boy.
00:15:33Everybody.
00:15:34Well, I'm not everybody.
00:15:36And I wouldn't care if I had a boy or a girl as long as a child was healthy and
00:15:39happy.
00:15:40Nothing else really matters, does it?
00:15:43I think she's right.
00:15:44I think it's time for dessert.
00:15:57We're going to Cape Town on the weekend.
00:16:00All of us?
00:16:03Do you remember when this came?
00:16:05Two weeks ago.
00:16:07It's from my sister, Rahmat.
00:16:09The one in Paris.
00:16:13Who told you that?
00:16:15Farah.
00:16:18She's coming with her, uh, husband.
00:16:23I'm going to go to sleep.
00:16:24You watch the shop.
00:16:38And we'll go to sleep.
00:16:40Just going to sleep.
00:16:57ORGAN PLAYS
00:17:15Come and help me here.
00:17:17He'll be here any minute now.
00:17:19And you're not particular old Maris.
00:17:22Not as much as he likes to think.
00:17:30They're here.
00:17:31I'm cooking!
00:17:33Bye.
00:17:35Bye.
00:17:39Bobby.
00:17:40Well, where is she?
00:17:41She's gone to the hotel to meet James.
00:17:44That's a stupid thing to do.
00:17:46Are they trying to get caught?
00:17:48They shouldn't even be here.
00:17:49His father's dying.
00:17:50So what?
00:17:52He'll be dead in a week and they'll be in jail.
00:17:54Do they think the police care?
00:17:55Which hotel is he staying at?
00:17:57At the Royal.
00:17:58If you can believe it.
00:17:59What?
00:18:03I don't know who they think they are.
00:18:15This is my other sister-in-law.
00:18:17This is Miriam.
00:18:19Hello.
00:18:22It took me a while to get used to it.
00:18:24Iris must be such a nightmare to get used to.
00:18:27I meant that it wasn't home at first.
00:18:30For either of us.
00:18:31But then I realized that there were no gossiping neighbors.
00:18:34No list of rules.
00:18:36No need to stay home if I wanted to work.
00:18:39We were very sorry to hear about your father's illness.
00:18:42He gave us his blessing.
00:18:44Finally.
00:18:46I suppose death can give you a different perspective on what's important.
00:18:49And now we're eating here with all of you and there's a time where that seemed impossible.
00:18:54Aren't you afraid of what could happen if you get caught?
00:18:58My husband is an idealist.
00:19:00We have no time for ideals these days.
00:19:02We have to be practical.
00:19:03Get what we can whenever we can.
00:19:05You know, you're my husband and you could be twins.
00:19:11We are twins.
00:19:17Why couldn't you tell me?
00:19:19Men never tell you anything.
00:19:29Miriam, why don't we get my brother to take us to the location cafe?
00:19:33I used to sneak out and go over there all the time, on my school breaks.
00:19:39I should stay and help.
00:19:41Baby, you go.
00:19:42I'll take care of the children.
00:19:44Para can make us tea.
00:20:16Is that the heardton girl?
00:20:18She's young.
00:20:19And she owns this place, huh?
00:20:21I've got a partner.
00:20:22Imagine, at her age.
00:20:24She's a partner for business and a good business too.
00:20:27Sunday is always her busiest day.
00:20:29I think she's done well for one of our girls.
00:20:31So do I.
00:20:33She's not totally one of our girls.
00:20:35Have you ever seen one of our girls with such...
00:20:37with such curly hair?
00:20:40Are you saying that she's part black?
00:20:43That's her grandmother, Begum.
00:20:46The child is Amina's mother.
00:20:47There was a big scandal.
00:20:49She messed around with the Africans.
00:20:53Should I pretend to be horrified?
00:20:54You know, plenty of white people, including some of his family,
00:20:58will sit there one day, just like you, all self-righteous,
00:21:00and accuse my children of being half-Indian.
00:21:02That's not the same thing.
00:21:04It's exactly the same thing.
00:21:06How can you live here, Omar?
00:21:08How can you bear to be in this place?
00:21:09South Africa is my home.
00:21:21You wanted ten pence worth, Engi, huh?
00:21:26Thanks.
00:21:42I'd like to serve someone over here, please.
00:22:05I love South Africa.
00:22:07What do you love about it?
00:22:08The freedom, the space.
00:22:10It's not like India.
00:22:11No, it's not.
00:22:12It's much worse.
00:22:14And God help anyone who tries to fight it.
00:22:16I fight it.
00:22:17And I think you probably did, too.
00:22:20I fought so hard.
00:22:22I had to leave with bruises on my face.
00:22:31Do you still like cook sisters?
00:22:34Yes, I do.
00:22:35And have you had any sins that were better?
00:22:40Never.
00:22:41Good.
00:22:41I'll send some over.
00:22:42They're frying now.
00:22:43Amina, this gentleman here is looking for someone to help build him a garden.
00:22:47You want it, or you know someone who would?
00:22:49I want a vegetable garden behind my house, back of the shop.
00:22:53I can do it.
00:22:54I want a big space.
00:22:55I need enough to sell, not just to eat.
00:22:57If you want me to do it, I can.
00:23:00Can you come early?
00:23:01How about seven?
00:23:02When we're far apart
00:23:07Don't you know I'll close my eyes
00:23:15And I'll see you
00:23:18With my heart
00:23:30Hello?
00:23:32That's the patch I'd like you to do.
00:23:34Mommy, why is she wearing trousers?
00:23:37Because she works outside.
00:23:41Don't forget their lunch.
00:23:43Thank you, Robert.
00:23:44Robert, give the young lady some chapatis and some tea when she starts working.
00:23:48And there's fig jam in the fridge.
00:23:49Yeah?
00:23:50Come.
00:23:58Good morning.
00:23:59Hello.
00:24:01Say hello to the lady.

00:31:03you must have heard someone's version of the story
00:31:06there's always gossip
00:31:09tell me the story
00:31:10the real story if you don't mind
00:31:14I'd like to tell you
00:31:17I think you'd understand why my grandmother was so important to me
00:31:21what happened to her
00:31:33she was 19
00:31:36with one child already
00:31:39and the shame and dishonor of being raped
00:31:43she tried to hide it
00:31:47but she became pregnant
00:31:51as soon as the baby was born
00:31:54my mother
00:31:55they realized it
00:31:57wasn't her husband's
00:31:59what did they do to her?
00:32:21they put you on a train to Durban
00:32:24to get the boat to Bombay
00:32:43hold him out
00:32:46hold him out so I can kiss him
00:33:07I can't imagine losing a child like that
00:33:11it broke her
00:33:14she didn't have one choice to make her whole life
00:33:18and for as long as I can remember
00:33:20she always warned me about the dangers of being oppressed in a marriage
00:33:26is that why you haven't gotten married?
00:33:30that's not the only reason

00:41:11Sergeant.
00:41:12We're looking for an Indian woman.
00:41:15Indians is all we get in here, but you're welcome to have a look around.
00:41:20Where's Amina?
00:41:21She's having a nap. She'll be taking over from me shortly.
00:41:24I'm not as young as I used to be.
00:41:39I know she's here.
00:41:41Who?
00:41:50Open this up.
00:41:53Come, come, come! Open it!
00:42:01What's all that?
00:42:02Stock for the cafe.
00:42:05That's why I keep it locked.
00:42:08Those caffers would steal anything.
00:42:13Tell me where she is.
00:42:17I really don't know who you're talking about.
00:42:19You and I both know that I've had some women in here.
00:42:22It's time you've an eye!
00:42:23Dinky Quinn!
00:42:37Dinky Quinn!
00:42:42Hey.
00:42:44Yours is the only place in town where your cafe workers eat alongside Indians.
00:42:48Would you get away with it?
00:42:50Yes.
00:42:51I could have closed you down any time, couldn't I?
00:42:57Yes.
00:42:58Sir.
00:43:00Was she here?
00:43:03No.
00:43:04Where is she?
00:43:06I really don't know.
00:43:10I'm sorry.
00:43:19Who's that?
00:43:21If it's the police, then I'll deal with them this time.
00:43:27Someone's...
00:43:28I've got you on the truck.
00:43:29What happened?
00:43:30My lights have gone.
00:43:32He put money carefully walking in the outbuilding.
00:43:34Right in my way.
00:43:35Thought it was just the one side he caught, but both my lights have gone.
00:43:38We might have one of those.
00:43:40Miriam?
00:43:41Thanks.
00:43:49Ah, that's the right one.
00:43:50How is he?
00:43:53Who?
00:43:54Carrefour.
00:43:55How is he?
00:43:56Dead, I hope.
00:44:03Just look at the...
00:44:05both lights.
00:44:06Is that your fit?
00:44:07You reckon?
00:44:08Let's try it.
00:44:10Some more light.
00:44:15Some more light can get me open.
00:44:29Are you okay?
00:44:31I'm fine.
00:44:39Where are you?
00:44:42I can help.
00:44:46Let...
00:44:47Let...
00:44:48Let me help you.
00:44:50Let...
00:44:51I don't need your help!
00:44:54Let's try it.
00:45:08Don't need your help.
00:45:12Let's try it.
00:45:16Let's try it.
00:45:19Let's try it.
00:45:21Let's try it.
00:45:40Where were you?
00:45:46I thought I'd left the washing out.
00:46:04Your place is here with me, not with those coffers.
00:46:30Don't forget it.
00:46:49Oh, you found them.
00:46:51Books, madam. You forgot them?
00:46:53Yes, until somebody reminded me.
00:47:21Robert, take this. Take it to the post office.
00:47:43Good morning, Jacob.
00:47:44Good morning, Madeline.
00:47:46It's warmer today, isn't it?
00:47:47You can say that again.
00:47:49Hey, boy, get me some water.
00:47:53Coyon, you understand English, do you?
00:47:55There's a jug over there.
00:47:58Listen, I'm the employee here,
00:48:00and I'll get you the water
00:48:03if you are incapable of getting it yourself.
00:48:08What's the matter with you, lady?
00:48:10That'll be six pence for the stamps.
00:48:29We're all of us losing our dignity
00:48:30as human beings in this place, aren't we?
00:48:33Some of us more quickly than others.
00:48:35I know.
00:48:36Don't you believe that for a second?
00:48:38It's men like him who lose the most.
00:48:42Perhaps.
00:48:45I've got a parcel here for you.
00:48:47Rather for young Miss Harjian.
00:48:50Yeah, there's no other post.
00:48:55There's no return address.
00:48:57No.
00:48:59Perhaps it's from a secret paramoy.
00:49:05I'd, uh, I'd better get back.
00:49:09I'll see you soon.
00:49:12Jacob,
00:49:13you sure that you do?
00:49:28This came for you today.
00:49:30Hmm.
00:49:35It's...
00:49:36It's not my mother's handwriting.
00:50:00She's not going to work all the time.
00:50:02It's just so difficult because he's too young.
00:50:04Look.
00:50:07What are you doing?
00:50:08It's the Ali's.
00:50:10They've come to give their reply.
00:50:13Even my mother must realise it's going to be no.
00:50:16Oh.
00:50:17Oh.
00:50:18Uh-huh.
00:50:19Won't you have some tea?
00:50:21Send that girl to me at once.
00:50:24Who, Amina?
00:50:25Of course.
00:50:26She needs discipline now.
00:50:29Send me the doctor.
00:50:31I'm dying.
00:50:33She'll be fine.
00:50:36Ma, just...
00:50:40Just take her some tea.
00:50:42But she's dying.
00:50:43She's been claiming her imminent death for 30 years.
00:50:47Please, just...
00:50:48take her some tea.
00:51:09Ma, your tea must be ice cold.
00:51:25I don't have time to go driving around the countryside
00:51:28for some old woman we didn't even know.
00:51:31That family don't mix with any of us.
00:51:33Yet when it suits them,
00:51:34they expect all of us to just come running?
00:51:35I don't expect it.
00:51:37I don't owe those people anything!
00:51:38Yes, you do.
00:51:40Amina Harjan saved your sister.
00:51:44After Farah betrayed her.
00:51:55Fifty bucks!
00:51:56I don't want to pay off now.
00:52:25So, let's go.
00:52:32Auntie, is Aminah here? I'd like to offer my condolences.
00:52:39She's in the next room.
00:52:40Okay, I'll take it.
00:52:42Please see if she will join us.
00:53:07I'm reading your book.
00:53:09I'd forgotten. I even had them.
00:53:11I didn't know you knew my parents.
00:53:13I don't.
00:53:14We came to see you.
00:53:16The murderess.
00:53:18Apparently, my work and my trousers caused a heart attack.
00:53:27I can't tell whether you approve of my clothes or not.
00:53:36They're nice.
00:53:39It's a nice outfit.
00:53:42I mean that.
00:53:44You look nice in it.
00:53:46So you prefer me in traditional clothes?
00:53:48No.
00:53:50You look very nice in this.
00:53:53But you don't look like yourself.
00:53:56I don't feel like myself.
00:53:59But I have to please a person who, God rest her soul, is not even able to see me.
00:54:11It sounds silly when you put it like that.
00:54:13It is silly.
00:54:15But no one else seems to think so.
00:54:21Doesn't matter what people think.
00:54:25Doesn't it?
00:54:27Why did you get married?
00:54:29Did you fall in love and know you wanted to be with him for the rest of your life?
00:54:35No.
00:54:38He saw me a few times and proposed and my family explained.
00:54:44I accept it.
00:54:45And that's what you want to hear, isn't it?
00:54:47That it never occurred to me to question it.
00:54:50It occurs to me to question it.
00:54:52I know.
00:54:59What happened to your face?
00:55:02Nothing.
00:55:10Your mother wants to see you downstairs.
00:55:12My husband wants to see you, too.
00:55:15To thank you.
00:55:16For what?
00:55:17For Raymoth.
00:55:19Anyone would have done the same.
00:55:21I didn't.
00:55:23Did they hurt you?
00:55:26The police?
00:55:28They were taking my children away.
00:55:31Then you did the right thing.
00:55:36Come.
00:55:38I want to change back into my own cloth.
00:55:40Come.
00:55:55I want to change back into my own cloth.
00:55:57Because I hate apartheid.
00:56:01Because I hate aggressive policemen.
00:56:04I wish I could be more like you.
00:56:18Be careful what you wish for.
00:56:22Me and me.
00:56:37Jacob.
00:56:38I have an idea.
00:56:40You haven't had a bad one yet.
00:56:42What is it?
00:56:45Indian food.
00:56:46All sorts of things.
00:56:49Samosas.
00:56:50Biryanis.
00:56:51Okay.
00:56:53But you know, our girls don't know the first thing about making a proper Indian curry.
00:56:58So who's going to do the cooking?
00:57:00Don't worry.
00:57:02I've already thought of that.
00:57:18I've already thought of that.
00:57:34Well, you're just passing through.
00:57:37No offense to your fair town, but I...
00:57:40It's okay.
00:57:41I don't think anybody just passes through.
00:57:44I came to see you.
00:57:46Will you have some tea?
00:57:48Cold drink?
00:57:49I want to talk to you about the cafe.
00:57:53Thinking about something new.
00:57:55Indian food.
00:57:55Maybe a few days a week.
00:57:57It's a good idea.
00:57:59I want you to cook for the cafe.
00:58:01Me?
00:58:07You haven't even had my cooking.
00:58:09I ate here, remember?
00:58:11Potato curry and dal.
00:58:19Besides, I couldn't do it.
00:58:22Why not?
00:58:23Because I have to take care of the shop.
00:58:28We'd pay you well.
00:58:31My children.
00:58:33Okay, then we'll make it one morning a week to start with.
00:58:41My husband wouldn't like it.
00:58:42I'm offering the job to you, not your husband.
00:58:47You surprised me.
00:58:51I thought you had a fearless streak.
00:58:56How would you know whether I have a fearless streak or not?
00:59:03Wasn't it you who went out in the middle of the night to help an African who was hit by
00:59:06a guard?
00:59:09How could you know there were only two people, myself and my husband?
00:59:17Three.
00:59:18I know this government would like us to think they're savages, but Africans can speak as well as we can.
00:59:42But if you're going to live in the middle of the night to go to the restaurant, please go to
00:59:54our country.
00:59:54My wife doesn't need to work.
00:59:57Look, I'm sorry, it's not a question of need.
00:59:59No!
01:00:03My wife doesn't know how to drive.
01:00:05I've told her time and again to take lessons,
01:00:08but she doesn't want to.
01:00:10If only she had.
01:00:11Oh, but I teach driving myself.
01:00:14Miriam, if you want me to come for a couple of hours a week,
01:00:18I'd be happy to come teach you.
01:00:20Thank you. Yes, I'd like that.
01:00:23My husband has been telling me
01:00:26I should learn how to drive for some time now.
01:00:30Good.
01:00:32Then it's settled.
01:00:34I'll see you next week.
01:00:54Why did you do that?
01:00:55You know eggs are expensive.
01:00:57You have a long day in Cape Town.
01:01:01Maybe staying the night.
01:01:17You're early.
01:01:21Very early.
01:01:24What happened?
01:01:27The market's closed.
01:01:28Closed?
01:01:30Why closed?
01:01:32They have action by the blacks.
01:01:35Bloody blacks?
01:01:37I've seen the Phoenix.
01:01:52Royal Ocean到了.
01:01:54The D.
01:02:56Were you just going to surprise us like this?
01:02:58How good to see you.
01:03:00How did you know Sadru was back?
01:03:03I finished early today, so I thought I'd stop in to say hello.
01:03:09I also finished early today.
01:03:11A demonstration.
01:03:15Family, you okay?
01:03:32Are you ready for me?
01:03:34Who else is going to teach me how to drive?
01:03:42Okay.
01:04:12Okay.
01:04:12Let's start with the pedals first.
01:04:15This is the gas peddler, the accelerator.
01:04:18Yeah.
01:04:18And this is the brake.
01:04:20Right.
01:04:20And this is the...
01:04:24You know how to drive.
01:04:25Now why would I ask for lessons if I knew how to drive?
01:04:28I don't know.
01:04:29Maybe you wanted to see me.
01:04:33You're right.
01:04:35I don't know how to drive, but my husband showed me all the pedals once when he tried to teach
01:04:41me how to learn.
01:04:43But there's only three, so it's not difficult.
01:04:48Do you know the gears still?
01:04:53No.
01:04:55I'll show you.
01:05:03Is Madam inside?
01:05:04No, she's having a driving license, sir.
01:05:08See?
01:05:12No.
01:05:52We were having a driving lesson I'm not finished yet out of the truck
01:06:03Miriam will finish another time
01:06:12How was your day what how was your day not good
01:06:18Sorry to hear that but things could get better
01:06:35I want to talk to you
01:06:39I
01:06:39Where's Robert
01:06:41Inside probably
01:06:42I was angry with him earlier
01:06:45Why were you angry with all of us
01:06:49I should be angry with you
01:06:55It's finished
01:06:58I won't be seeing her anymore
01:07:02Why did you do it Omar?
01:07:07I don't know
01:07:17You heard me
01:07:22Come come come
01:07:25Go go go go go
01:07:33It won't be a stylish marriage
01:07:35We can't afford a carriage
01:07:39I've asked Madeline to have dinner with me
01:07:43She accepted
01:07:46Do you know what you're doing?
01:07:48I believe I do yes
01:07:49Where will you take her for dinner?
01:07:55I'm not fit to take her anywhere am I
01:07:59Only good enough to serve her a plate of food but not to sit and eat with her
01:08:07You could bring her here
01:08:12Think of something
01:08:15I have lived my entire life in this place
01:08:19By their rules
01:08:21I do not want to end my life alone because of them
01:08:26I know
01:08:28I know
01:08:29But lately I've been
01:08:32Wondering whether it's worth going after certain people
01:08:35No matter how strongly you feel about them
01:08:37You more than anyone
01:08:41Has taught me that it is worth it
01:08:45Don't start changing now
01:08:47Amina
01:09:06Hello
01:09:09Hello Robert
01:09:10Yes
01:09:11Are you ready?
01:09:26Robert
01:09:29Take care of the shop please
01:09:43You didn't come to give me a driving lesson
01:09:48Did you?
01:09:53Why did you come?
01:10:07I can't
01:10:11I'm married and
01:10:14You're a woman
01:10:16Those are not good reasons
01:10:20They are my reasons
01:10:22And they matter to me
01:10:26Don't you care for me?
01:10:36Of course I care for you
01:10:38Of course I care for you
01:10:39Amina please
01:10:43Amina
01:10:43What am I doing to you?
01:10:48What am I doing to you?
01:10:50What am I doing to you?
01:10:50What am I doing to you?
01:10:53Every time I look at you
01:10:56I want you to stay
01:11:01Forever
01:11:20Will you do something for me?
01:11:22I want you to stay
01:11:24Close your eyes
01:11:27I can trust you
01:11:31I'm not afraid of you
01:11:40Can you just imagine
01:11:43Just for now
01:11:48Please mom
01:11:49But then, that nothing exists except for you and me.
01:12:27Do you need to go to her?
01:12:30No.
01:12:36What happens now?
01:12:42Do these drive innocence just continue?
01:12:51Come away with me.
01:12:54I have three children.
01:12:55Hmm?
01:12:57Well, never leave.
01:12:58I would never ask you to leave the children.
01:13:00We could, um, we could move.
01:13:03We could move away from here, Miriam, and I'll look after you and the children.
01:13:08Amina?
01:13:11Amina, please.
01:13:12Miriam, I know, I know that you would think that I don't know what I'm talking about.
01:13:16But I've lived this way, Miriam.
01:13:18I've lived my own way my whole life, and it can be done.
01:13:21It can be done, Miriam.
01:13:23It can be done.
01:13:25Not for me.
01:13:28It can be done.
01:13:41It can be done.
01:14:39Oh, Jacob.
01:14:41You need a hand.
01:14:42Oh, you wouldn't mind. I'm struggling with this lock.
01:14:45Here, let me do it.
01:14:50Hello?
01:14:52Hello?
01:14:54Police here, ma'am.
01:14:55Postmistress here, sir.
01:14:57Are you all right?
01:14:58I was driving by and I saw the door ajar.
01:15:01Oh, I'm fine. Thank you. Just locking up.
01:15:03Sorry to trouble you.
01:15:05No trouble.
01:15:10Who's there?
01:15:14This is Jacob.
01:15:15The section where you're standing is for whites only.
01:15:18He was just helping me lock up.
01:15:20He shouldn't be there.
01:15:21Who is he anyway?
01:15:23He's my driver.
01:15:34Why doesn't your driver keep the keys?
01:15:36Because I prefer to keep them myself.
01:15:38Yeah, I know what you mean.
01:15:40Better to be safe than sorry.
01:15:41Quite.
01:16:04I don't know what you mean.
01:16:11I thought I told you not to disturb me.
01:16:16Yes, but that was when you were six years old, no?
01:16:23Dad, I'm sorry.
01:16:25I thought that, um, you come.
01:16:27I thought that you were Doris or one of the girls.
01:16:32Just me.
01:16:40Can I get you something to eat? Some tea?
01:16:44No, no, I'm fine.
01:16:47No, we just, we haven't heard from you for three weeks and you're...
01:16:52So your mother's worried and I just came to check to see you're okay.
01:16:59I'm fine.
01:17:01Good.
01:17:06Good.
01:17:07Things have been, um...
01:17:11It's hard to explain.
01:17:12No need.
01:17:15You see, people like to make sure your mother and I know everything that is happening with you.
01:17:21They wouldn't like us to miss out.
01:17:26Only this time people are...
01:17:30I mean, the people are talking about her, not just you.
01:17:35They know her as well.
01:17:36No, they have no right.
01:17:38It's only because she's friends with me that they make any assumptions.
01:17:43Don't people have anything better to do?
01:17:45No, they don't.
01:17:48That's why I try to avoid them.
01:17:50They have no, they don't have anything.
01:17:53No, they don't have anything.
01:18:19They have no idea.
01:18:20I'm terribly sorry about what happened.
01:18:23I'm ashamed to say that I was afraid of that young policeman
01:18:25and what he might do to you if he suspected.
01:18:28It's all right.
01:18:30They'd only have thrown me in jail if they'd guessed.
01:18:33Jacob, come inside. I'll make us some supper.
01:18:39I can't.
01:18:44I hope you understand.
01:18:47Yes, sir. I understand, but...
01:18:51I am sorry.
01:18:56I'll... I want to drive you home.
01:18:58No.
01:19:04Goodbye, Madeline.
01:19:11Goodbye, Jacob.
01:19:12Goodbye.
01:19:36So you're running away?
01:19:37No, I just need some time. I just need some time away to think, Dad.
01:19:41Ah.
01:19:47Do you need money?
01:19:48No.
01:19:56You shouldn't go.
01:20:02I wish you know where to find you.
01:20:16Oh, what a day.
01:20:23Did you have your driving lesson today?
01:20:25No.
01:20:28Good.
01:20:31That's over then.
01:20:32No.
01:20:34I have to learn how to drive if I'm going to work.
01:20:37You work here.
01:20:41You work here.
01:20:42And I will still work here.
01:20:44And I will work at the cafe for two mornings a week.
01:20:50You don't need to work.
01:20:53You don't need to work.
01:20:53I do.
01:20:55It's just for two mornings.
01:20:56Just let me learn how to drive.
01:20:58You will not be my wife and work.
01:21:01Do you want to divorce me?
01:21:04What about the children?
01:21:07What is it, Omar?
01:21:09Tell me what you're thinking.
01:21:22It's okay.
01:21:25It's all right, my love.
01:21:26Everything's okay.
01:21:27Go back to sleep.
01:21:30It's all right.
01:21:47I don't like it.
01:21:50If I don't like it, that should be enough.
01:21:56It's not enough.
01:21:59It never has been.
01:22:03I just didn't know what to tell you until now.
01:22:10No!
01:22:11You'll have to find a better way to speak to me.
01:22:26Not again.
01:22:48I may still need some lessons.
01:22:54You drove all the way from Delos.
01:22:57Do you still have that vacancy?
01:23:02Two days a week?
01:23:14If it works out, even more.
01:23:29Come on, then.
01:23:34I'm Miriam.
01:23:55I'm Miriam.
01:23:58Go.
01:24:01Go пог.
01:24:03Go.
01:24:05Go, go.
01:24:07Go.
01:24:09Go.
01:24:09Go.
01:24:09Go.
01:24:10Go.
01:24:20Would you draw a timeline across my face
01:24:26You could read my palm
01:24:30Would you share with me your remaining grace
01:24:36Like the last few drops of a bomb
01:24:41Would you speak in voice of fire and ice
01:24:47Crush their words with a stone
01:24:50Would you dare to move
