00:00:00All I've learned in this year
00:00:03You should be here
00:00:05You should be here
00:00:10You should be here
00:00:14You should be here
00:00:14Bastards
00:00:16Good day, Mina
00:00:17Sergeant
00:00:19Good day, Jacob
00:00:25Sergeant Stuart
00:00:26So, 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.
00:00:59Present 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.
00:01:34Like mine.
00:01:36You understand, Jacob?
00:01:37It's going 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.
00:01:49It's going to be bad.
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, well, no, ma'am.
00:02:20I, uh, I just work for Amina.
00:02:22Oh, I'm sorry.
00:02:24I forgot.
00:02:24A partnership would be illegal, wouldn't it?
00:02:31Thank you for shielding me from the police.
00:02:42Would you excuse me?
00:02:51What is it?
00:02:53My 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.
00:03:06Not to mention flirt with the customers.
00:03:28Come on.
00:03:29Hmm?
00:03:30Milk.
00:03:37Come in here and get ready for school, both of you.
00:03:40Thank God we're moving on in a couple of months.
00:03:44Before the next one comes.
00:03:46It's alright, Mama.
00:03:52Okay, Sam, Yasmin, upstairs, hmm?
00:03:55Go, brush your teeth, get your book.
00:03:57Get back.
00:03:59Yeah.
00:04:00Off.
00:04:19He said yes, we can go.
00:04:21Oh, we're out for lunch.
00:04:24To the location, cafe.
00:04:26I can't believe our husbands are letting us out of here.
00:04:29Come on, Miriam, get dressed.
00:04:46Good morning.
00:04:52I'm so sorry.
00:04:54I'm in love.
00:04:56I'm sorry.
00:04:57Thank you, Douglas.
00:04:58Please leave it.
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 and have some nice, fresh cook sisters.
00:05:19What are cook sisters?
00:05:21It's a South African delicacy.
00:05:23A fried donut with syrup and coconut.
00:05:27Here, try one.
00:05:29See if you like it.
00:05:39It's delicious.
00:05:40Good.
00:05:42I'll send some over, and I promise I'll 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 12s.
00:06:17Maybe it's easier to work in 12s.
00:06:23Daddy, is it far?
00:06:25I told you Deluxe'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.
00:06:33The big shop underneath.
00:06:35We'll work 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?
00:07:19We'll have a night watchman to guard the place.
00:08:10We'll have a night watchman to guard the place.
00:08:12We'll have a night watchman to guard the place.
00:09:07We'll have a night watchman to guard the place.
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.
00:10:05It will give you some energy.
00:10:08Are you okay?
00:10:10Shall I call her?
00:10:16No.
00:10:19Going already?
00:10:20Yes.
00:10:21I need to go to the shop.
00:10:22Don't worry about it.
00:10:23Your 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 chat, 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.
00:10:53Or any time.
00:10:57Where's the boy?
00:11:00He's checking deliveries.
00:11:02This has a while, yes!
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?
00:11:09Well, I suppose she doesn't like you to touch her when she's pregnant.
00:11:33You come to Cape Town once a week.
00:11:36Come and see me.
00:11:39Come and see me.
00:11:50Sit down.
00:12:02So what do you do after school?
00:12:05Homework.
00:12:05Good.
00:12:06Good.
00:12:11Do it then.
00:12:13I don't have any, Omar.
00:12:14Why not?
00:12:15She's only five.
00:12:17She doesn't get to homework until big school.
00:12:20Oh.
00:12:23Hello, Mr. Husband.
00:12:24Or should I say Mr. Father.
00:12:27Is it a boy?
00:12:28What a question.
00:12:29You have a beautiful baby girl.
00:12:39Oh, ho.
00:12:42Oh!
00:12:43Where are you?
00:12:50Oh!
00:12:51Oh, my God.
00:12:58Oh.
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.
00:13:22Where is she anyway?
00:13:25She couldn't come.
00:13:27Working?
00:13:27Did you say she's working?
00:13:29Where is she working?
00:13:32Cape Town.
00:13:35The girl needs to be brought back to a decent way of living.
00:13:39Why is she working?
00:13:40What is she doing?
00:13:44She must mix more.
00:13:45I know her family, the Ali's.
00:13:48Do you know them?
00:13:49Yes, we'll have them for dinner on 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, this 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?
00:15:28What 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, Rehmat.
00:16:10The 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.
00:16:39I'm going to go to sleep.
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.
00:17:35Bobby.
00:17:39Bobby?
00:17:40Well, where is she?
00:17:41He'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?
00:18:02I don't know who they think they are.
00:18:15This is my other sister-in-law.
00:18:17This is Miriam.
00:18:18Hello.
00:18:22It took me a while to get used to it.
00:18:25Iris 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.
00:18:59We 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.
00:19:29Um, Miriam, 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.
00:19:36On my school breaks.
00:19:39I should stay and help.
00:19:41Babi, you go.
00:19:42I'll take care of the children.
00:19:44Para can make us tea.
00:19:54I'll take care of the children.

00:31:56they realized it

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
00:33:40Miriam
00:33:43yes
00:33:46I think
00:33:47you should go
00:33:49the baby needs you
00:34:15I think
00:34:17you should go
00:34:18to the garden
00:34:19yeah
00:34:19you should go
00:34:20Are you ready for school?
00:34:22Ah, did you eat?
00:34:23You mean I gave us some breakfast.
00:34:28There you go.
00:34:30Okay.
00:34:31I never imagined I'd be so domesticated.
00:34:34I never imagined anything else.
00:34:37Okay, please.
00:34:38You ready for school?
00:34:39Come on.
00:34:41Have a good day.
00:34:47Can I make you some breakfast?
00:34:50Uh, perhaps later I'm going to start work.
00:34:58I hope I didn't...
00:35:00worry you with all my strange ideas and stories last night.
00:35:05No.
00:35:06You made me think, and that's...
00:35:08supposed to be a good thing.
00:35:11Isn't it?
00:35:12That depends on who you ask.
00:35:13Okay.
00:35:18What are you doing?
00:35:23Reading.
00:35:24I can see that.
00:35:26Reading what?
00:35:28Poetry.
00:35:31Poetry.
00:35:32Poetry.
00:35:33At this time of night.
00:35:37Tired.
00:35:39I was busy in Cape Town today.
00:35:42What's that?
00:35:44What did you say?
00:35:46Nothing.
00:36:08Love bade me welcome.
00:36:10Yet my soul drew back.
00:36:12Guilty of dust and sin.
00:36:14Guilty of dust and sin.
00:36:15But quick-eyed love.
00:36:16Observing me grow slack from my first entrance in.
00:36:20And then drew nearer to me.
00:36:22Sweetly questioning.
00:36:24If I lacked anything.
00:36:26A guest, I answered, worthy to be here.
00:36:29Love said, you shall be he.
00:36:34Afternoon.
00:36:35We need to ask you some questions.
00:36:37My husband is not here.
00:36:38He just left.
00:36:39Yeah.
00:36:40Must have just missed him.
00:36:41Robert, get this gentleman a drink.
00:36:46It's a good shop you have here.
00:36:51Is your sister-in-law here?
00:36:54My brother-in-law and his wife stay in town.
00:37:00We're looking for Remat, Winston.
00:37:02And we know she's staying with you.
00:37:05They're not here.
00:37:08So you know where they are.
00:37:23Listen.
00:37:25You'll be in a pile of shit if you help them.
00:37:29What have they done?
00:37:32Have you heard of the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act of 1949?
00:37:36It's there for a reason.
00:37:39To stop this depravity.
00:37:43It's against nature what these people are doing.
00:37:48I'm from school.
00:37:49No, you can't.
00:37:50Yes, we can.
00:37:51They may be withholding valuable information.
00:37:53No!
00:37:55Have you ever been to a police station, young lady?
00:37:57Mommy!
00:37:58Mommy!
00:37:58Where are you going?
00:38:00Stop!
00:38:01No!
00:38:02No!
00:38:03We'll bring you back later.
00:38:04We'll do, Mono.
00:38:05Whenever we get time.
00:38:07I'll tell you where they are.
00:38:08Too late.
00:38:13So, where are they?
00:38:16Where are they?
00:38:18In Cape Town.
00:38:22They're my brother-in-laws.
00:38:25You know, if you're lying, I'll beat you and your children and your baby!
00:38:42They're my brother-in-laws.
00:38:43They're my brother-in-law.
00:38:45They're my brother-in-law.
00:38:48They're my brother-in-law.
00:38:50They're my brother-in-law.
00:38:50They're my brother-in-law.
00:38:50They're my brother-in-law.
00:38:50They're my brother-in-law.
00:38:51They're my brother-in-law.
00:38:51They're my brother-in-law.
00:38:52They're my brother-in-law.
00:38:55They're my brother-in-law.
00:38:56They're my brother-in-law.
00:38:57They're my brother-in-law.
00:39:08I need help. The police are after us.
00:39:11We can't.
00:39:12Amina, you have to.
00:39:14We can't help you. I'm sorry.
00:39:19Please, please.
00:39:20I understand. It's just...
00:39:22I don't know what to do.
00:39:24If we help you into another customer,
00:39:26someone will break when the police start threatening.
00:39:29Are you sure?
00:39:32Thank you for the sake.
00:39:43You were supposed to tell us.
00:39:50In front of my husband.
00:39:52Was I supposed to tell you while she could hear me?
00:39:55Hiding upstairs.
00:39:56Yes. What kind of state police don't even search the house?
00:40:04Where are they now?
00:40:09Some nice clothes.
00:40:10French labels.
00:40:13We'll find them.
00:40:14You'll be the next.
00:40:16For helping them.
00:40:22I'm not stupid.
00:40:26But there is someone around you who is.
00:40:31And it won't be the first time she's in trouble with the two of you.
00:40:59Stop that bloody noise!
00:41:01I wish it didn't.
00:41:02Come on.
00:41:03Come on, Lily.
00:41:10Jacob?
00:41:11Sergeant.
00:41:12We're looking for an Indian woman.
00:41:15Indians is all we get in here.
00:41:17But you're welcome to have a look around.
00:41:20Where's Amina?
00:41:21She's having a nap.
00:41:22She'll be taking over from me shortly.
00:41:24I'm not as young as I used to be.
00:41:38I know she's here.
00:41:41Who?
00:41:50Open this up.
00:41:53Go on, go on, go on!
00:41:54Open it!
00:42:01What's all that?
00:42:03Stock for the cafe.
00:42:06That's why I keep it locked.
00:42:07Those 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 been out!
00:42:23Dinking quid!
00:42:24Dinking quid!
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.
00:42:50I could have closed you down any time, couldn't I?
00:42:57Yes.
00:42:58So?
00:43:01Was she here?
00:43:03No.
00:43:05Where is she?
00:43:06I really don't know.
00:43:10I'm sorry.
00:43:20What is that?
00:43:21If it's the police, then I'll deal with them this time.
00:43:27Someone's in here.
00:43:28I've got them in the truck.
00:43:29What happened?
00:43:30My lights have gone.
00:43:32They 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?
00:43:40Thanks.
00:43:48Ah, here's the right one.
00:43:50How is he?
00:43:53Who?
00:43:54Garfun.
00:43:55How is he?
00:43:56Dead, I hope.
00:44:03Just look at the...
00:44:04both lights.
00:44:06That should fit.
00:44:07You reckon?
00:44:08Let's try it.
00:44:11Come on, Mike.
00:44:16Come on, Mike.
00:44:17Give me a hug.
00:44:30Are you okay?
00:44:31I'm fine.
00:44:39Where are you?
00:44:42I can help.
00:44:47Let me help you.
00:44:50Let's...
00:44:51I don't need your help!
00:45:08Don't need your help!
00:45:10Don't need your help!
00:45:22Don't need your help!
00:45:41where were you I thought I'd left the washing out
00:46:04your place is here with me not with those coffers
00:46:49oh
00:46:49oh
00:46:49oh
00:46:50you found
00:46:51books matter you forgot them
00:46:53Yes, until somebody reminded me.
00:47:21Robert, take this.
00:47:22Take it to the post office.
00:47:43Morning, Jacob.
00:47:44Morning, Madeline.
00:47:46Walmart 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, and 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?
00:48:09Well, that'll be sixpence for the stamps.
00:48:29We're all of us losing our dignity as human beings in this place,
00:48:32aren't we?
00:48:32Some of us more quickly than others.
00:48:35Oh, no.
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.
00:48:57There's no return address.
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.
00:49:13Jacob, be sure that you do.
00:49:22I'll see you soon.
00:49:28This came for you today.
00:49:35It's...
00:49:37It's not my mother's handwriting.
00:49:59She's not going to work all the time.
00:50:02She's not going to work all the time.
00:50:02She's just so difficult because he's too young.
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 realize it's going to be no.
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, just 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 take her some tea.
00:50:51call me voluntarily.
00:51:05Mom?
00:51:08Mom?
00:51:10Dinner is ready.
00:51:18Ma, your tea must be ice-cold.
00:51:25I don't have time to go driving around the countryside for some old woman we didn't even know.
00:51:31That family don't mix with any of us. Yet when it suits them, they expect all of us to just
00:51:35come running?
00:51:35I don't expect it.
00:51:37I don't owe those people anything!
00:51:38Yes, you do.
00:51:39Amina Harjan saved your sister.
00:51:44After Farah betrayed her.
00:52:33Aunty, is Amina here? I'd like to offer my condolences.
00:52:38Um, she'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, and...
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 murderous.
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.
00:54:21Does it 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 accepted.
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?
00:55:01Nothing.
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?
00:55:27Yes.
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.
00:55:54Why should you take that risk?
00:55:57Because I hate apartheid.
00:56:01Because I hate aggressive policemen.
00:56:04I wish I could be more like you.
00:56:06I wish I could be more like you.
00:56:18I mean, you could be more like you...
00:56:18Be careful what you wish for.
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.
00:56:47All sorts of things.
00:56:49Samosas, biryanis.
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.
00:57:04Jeremy and Sophie.
00:57:05Yeah.
00:57:08Yeah.
00:57:17Yeah.
00:57:34Well, you're just passing through.
00:57:37No offense to your bear down, 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, Indian food, maybe a few days a week.
00:57:56It's a good idea.
00:57:59I want you to cook for the cafe.
00:58:02Me?
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.
00:58:32Okay, then we'll make it one more in a week to start with.
00:58:41My husband wouldn't like it.
00:58:43I'm offering the job to you, not your husband.
00:58:47You surprised me.
00:58:51Thought 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.
00:59:39Has it been busy?
00:59:41No.
00:59:42I came to see if Miriam would cook for the cafe.
00:59:47What did you say?
00:59:49I said that I have to mind the shop and the children.
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, but 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.
01:00:21Yes, I'd like that.
01:00:23My husband has been telling me I 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.
01:00:53Why 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.
01:01:20You're early.
01:01:22Very early.
01:01:24What happened?
01:01:27The market's closed.
01:01:29Closed?
01:01:29Why closed?
01:01:32They have action by the blacks.
01:01:35Bloody blacks?
01:01:37Thanks.
01:01:42Thanks.
01:01:47Thanks.
01:01:49Thanks.
01:01:49Thanks.
01:01:49Thanks.
01:01:52Thanks.
01:01:53Thanks.
01:01:54Thanks.
01:01:55Thanks.
01:01:55Thanks.
01:01:56Thanks.
01:01:57Thanks.
01:01:57Thanks.
01:01:57Thanks.
01:01:58Thanks.
01:01:58Thanks.
01:01:59Thanks.
01:02:32Come on, Daddy!
01:02:46Father?
01:02:48Father?
01:02:49Bye?
01:02:51Everything okay?
01:02:53My God! Bye!
01:02:55Were you just going to surprise us like this?
01:02:58How good to see you.
01:03:00How did you know Sadru was back?

01:06:12How was your day?
01:06:14What?
01:06:15How was your day?
01:06:16Not good.
01:06:17Oh, sorry to hear that, but things could get better.
01:06:35I want to talk to you.
01:06:39Where's Robert?
01:06:41Inside probably.
01:06:42I was angry with Emilia.
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.
01:07:36We can't afford a carriage.
01:07:39I've asked Madeline to have dinner with me.
01:07:43She accepted.
01:07:47Do you know what you're doing?
01:07:48I believe I do, yes.
01:07:50Where 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,
01:08:01but not to sit and eat with her.
01:08:07You could bring her here.
01:08:12Think of something.
01:08:16I have lived my entire life in this place
01:08:19by their rooms.
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 wondering
01:08:32whether it's worth going after certain people,
01:08:35no matter how strongly you feel about them.
01:08:38You, more than anyone,
01:08:41has taught me that it is worth it.
01:08:45Don't start changing now, Amina.
01:08:53I don't want to go on to my house.
01:09:05Hello.
01:09:09Hello, Robert.
01:09:10Yes.
01:09:11Are you ready?
01:09:12Mm-hmm.
01:09:15Oh, was that one?
01:09:19No.
01:09:28Robert, take care of the shop, please.
01:09:43You didn't come to give me a driving lesson, did you?
01:09:53Why did you come?
01:10:07I can't.
01:10:11I'm married and you're a woman.
01:10:16Those are not good reasons.
01:10:20They are my reasons and they matter to me.
01:10:26Don't you care for me?
01:10:33What am I doing to you?
01:10:36Of course, I care for you.
01:10:39I mean, please.
01:10:40Please.
01:10:43What am I doing to you?
01:10:48What am I doing to you?
01:10:53Every time I look at you, I want you to stay forever.
01:11:20Can we do something for you?
01:11:21Will you do something for me?
01:11:24Close your eyes.
01:11:31I'm not afraid of you.
01:11:41Can you just imagine, just for now, just for now?
01:11:48Please, mom and dad, that nothing exists except for you and me.
01:12:26Do we need to go to her?
01:12:31No.
01:12:37What happens now?
01:12:42Does this drive innocence just continue?
01:12:52Come away with me.
01:12:54I have three children.
01:12:57We'll never leave.
01:12:58I would never ask you to leave the children.
01:13:00We could, um...
01:13:02We 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. I've lived my own way, my whole life, and it can be done.
01:13:21It can be done, Miriam.
01:13:22It can be done, Miriam.
01:13:27Not for me.
01:13:57I'm dying doing something.
01:13:57I don't know what you think of as deep.
01:13:57Not for me.
01:14:02I don't know how to go.
01:14:02Why not grow up this morning and everywhere, no?
01:14:15I know the ciudad.
01:14:39Oh, Jacob.
01:14:41You need a hand.
01:14:42Oh, you wouldn't mind.
01:14:43I'm struggling with this lock.
01:14:45Here, let me do it.
01:14:49Here, let me do it.
01:14:52Hello?
01:14:53Police here, ma'am.
01:14:55Postmistress here, sir.
01:14:57Oh, you're right.
01:14:58I was driving by and I saw the door ajar.
01:15:01Oh, I'm fine, thank you.
01:15:02Just locking up.
01:15:04Sorry 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?
01:15:36I guess I prefer to keep them myself.
01:15:38Yeah, I know what you mean.
01:15:40Compared to be safe than sorry.
01:15:41Quite.
01:15:42I don't know.
01:15:43I'm fine.
01:15:56I'm fine.
01:15:58I don't know.
01:15:59I don't know.
01:16:02I don't know.
01:16:10So now I will.
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.
01:16:28I 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.
01:17:50Yes, you see.
01:17:52Yes.
01:18:06No, they are.
01:18:06No, they are.
01:18:19I'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 you suspect it.
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.
01:18:35I'll make us some supper.
01:18:39I can't.
01:18:44I hope you understand.
01:18:47Yes, sir, I understand, but I am sorry.
01:18:56I want to drive you home.
01:18:58No.
01:19:04Goodbye, Madeleine.
01:19:11Goodbye, Jacob.
01:19:12Goodbye.
01:19:36So you're running away?
01:19:37No, I just need some time.
01:19:39I just need some time away to think, Dad.
01:19:42Ah.
01:19:47Do you need money?
01:19:48No.
01:19:57You shouldn't go.
01:20:02I wish you know where to find you.
01:20:17What a day.
01:20:23Did you have your driving lesson today?
01:20:26No.
01:20:28Good.
01:20:29Good.
01:20:31That's over then.
01:20:32No.
01:20:34I have to learn how to drive if I'm going to work.
01:20:38You work here.
01:20:40Oh, my gosh.
01:20:41And 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.
01:20:53I 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.
01:21:27Everything'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 him.
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.
01:23:49Thanks for joining us.
01:23:56Ya see you.
01:24:16I couldn't think.
01:24:17If we can take a couple more examples,
01:24:17you leave your friend.
01:24:17Take a couple Imagineers to see a couple more things,
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
01:24:40Would you speak in voice of fire and ice
01:24:47Crush their words with a stone
01:24:50Would you dare to move
