00:00:00Out of the line
00:00:00All I've been longing with me
00:00:03All I've been longing with you
00:00:03All I've been longing with you
00:00:14Bastards.
00:00:16Good day, Mina.
00:00:18Sergeant.
00:00:24Good day, Jacob.
00:00:26Sergeant 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.
00:03:17What I'm doing?
00:03:25What you doing?
00:03:25I can't wait.
00:03:25Let's go.
00:03:28Go.
00:03:29Hm?
00:03:30Milk?
00:03:33Do you?
00:03:36Hello, are you coming?
00:03:38Come in here and get ready for school!
00:03:39Both 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 all right, Mama.
00:03:52Okay, Sammy, us, men, upstairs, hmm?
00:03:55Go, brush your teeth, get your books.
00:03:57Good guy.
00:03:59Off.
00:04:19He said yes, we can go.
00:04:22Where?
00:04:23Out for lunch, to 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 so sorry, I'm in love.
00:04:56I'm sorry, thank you, don't miss.
00:04:58Please leave.
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 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.
00:05:41I'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 full?
00:06:25I told you Deluxe's in the country.
00:06:26You'll like it there.
00:06:29Will 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.
00:06:35We'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.
00:07:00Shall we leave?
00:08:10We'll need to work hard.
00:08:12That's all.
00:08:34You're tough.
00:08:36That's all.
00:08:37Oh, my God.
00:09:27She would have been proud of you.
00:09:47Hello, Brian.
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?
00:10:04Yes, 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.
00:10:23Your sister-in-law is there.
00:10:26Here, love, and have a nice cup of tea.
00:10:29Thank you, Mrs. Benjamin.
00:10:31He's not one for a jet, is he?
00:10:36No, he'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
00:10:57time.
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.
00:11:33You come to Cape Town once a week.
00:11:36Come and see me.
00:11:50Sit down.
00:12:02So what do you do after school?
00:12:04Homework.
00:12:05Good.
00:12:06Good.
00:12:08Good.
00:12:11Do it then.
00:12:12I don't have any homework.
00:12:14Why not?
00:12:15She's only five.
00:12:17She doesn't get 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.

00:12:47What a question.
00:12:56You have a beautiful baby girl.

00:14:53want to
00:14:54go out for a while and find out things for themselves but I think our girls always find
00:14:59it best to stay at home in the end doesn't Amina work anymore then only now and then but what
00:15:06about
00:15:06the camera why isn't anybody eating way things have been so busy at the garage lately I I don't have

00:15:21like Amina oh I don't know I suppose two or three would be nice do you want only boys what
00:15:29would
00:15:29make you think I'd want boys tall what rubbish everybody wants a boy everybody well I'm not
00:15:35everybody and I wouldn't care if I had a boy or a girl as long as the child was healthy
00:15:39and happy

00:15:57we're going to Cape Town on the weekend all of us

00:16:08the one in Paris who told you that farah she's coming with her husband
00:16:23I'm going to go to sleep you watch the shop
00:17:15come and help me here there'd be any minute now and you know a particular
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?
00:17:41She'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, if you can believe it.
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 realised that there were no gossiping neighbours.
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 was a time where that seemed impossible.
00:18:54Aren't you afraid?
00:18:56Of 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.
00:19:28Um, 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 on my school breaks.
00:19:39I should stay and help.
00:19:41Ah, Babi.
00:19:42You go.
00:19:42I'll take care of the children.
00:19:44Farah can make us tea.
00:20:07Yeah.
00:20:08Yeah.
00:20:11Go, go, go, go, go.
00:20:16Is that the her gym girl?
00:20:18She's young.
00:20:19And she owns this place, huh?
00:20:21With a partner.
00:20:22Imagine, at her age.
00:20:24With 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.
00:20:32She's done well for one of our girls.
00:20:33not totally one of our girls. Have you ever seen one of our girls with such, with such curly hair?
00:20:40Are you saying that she's part black? That's her grandmother, Begum. The child is Amina's
00:20:47mother. There was a big scandal. She messed around with the Africans. Should I pretend to be
00:20:54horrified? You know, plenty of white people, including some of his family, will sit there
00:20:58one day, just like you, all self-righteous, and accuse my children of being half-India. That's not the same
00:21:03thing. It's exactly the same thing. How can you live here, Omar? How can you bear to be in this
00:21:09place?
00:21:09South Africa is my home.
00:21:21You wanted ten pence per thing, eh?
00:21:43I'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. It's not like India.
00:22:11No, it's not. It's much worse. And God help anyone who tries to fight it.
00:22:16I fight it, and I think you probably did too.
00:22:20I fought so hard, I 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. I'll send some over. They'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. I 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 Don't you know I'll close my eyes
00:23:15And I'll see you with my heart
00:23:32Oh, that'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.
00:23:47And there's fig jam in the fridge.
00:23:49Yeah, come.
00:23:57Good morning.

00:29:27I'll make the tea, Miriam.
00:29:33Miriam who's always getting the tea for everyone.
00:29:43Tell me, has anyone ever looked after you?
00:29:47Miriam.
00:29:55When did you come to South Africa?
00:29:59Seven years ago, after I got married.
00:30:02Me too.
00:30:02Well, our first evening off of the boat from India and we walked straight into the Indian
00:30:08Congress protests.
00:30:09There were sticks and guns and policemen.
00:30:11And I was terrified.
00:30:15I was there protesting the ghetto bill.
00:30:18I thought we could overthrow the government in two weeks.
00:30:25Is there anything that you don't do?
00:30:30I have to give people something to talk about.
00:30:33Do you ever think about getting married and having children instead?
00:30:36Yes, that word instead I don't like.
00:30:39I can't a woman do both if she wants to?
00:30:42It's not usual.
00:30:42No.
00:30:44No.
00:30:45But neither am I and neither are you.
00:30:50How did you learn to think like this?
00:30:54My grandmother.
00:30:55My grandmother.
00:30:56My mother's mother.
00:30:57Picture in the cafe.
00:30:59She lived here once before she was sent back to India.
00:31:03You must have heard someone's version of the story.
00:31:06There's always gossip.
00:31:09Tell me the story.
00:31:11The 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.
00:31:20What happened to her?
00:31:33She was 19 with one child already.
00:31:39And the shame and dishonor of being raped, she tried to hide it.
00:31:47But she became pregnant.
00:31:51As soon as the baby was born, my mother, they realized it wasn't her husband's.
00:31:59And what did they do to her?
00:32:21They put you on a train to Durban to get the boat to Bombay.
00:32:44Hold him up.
00:32:46Hold him up.
00:32:46Hold him up so I can kiss him.
00:32:47Hold him up.
00:32:49Please.
00:32:50No!
00:32:51No!
00:32:52No!
00:32:53Stop!
00:32:54No!
00:32:59No!
00:33:00No!
00:33:00No!
00:33:01No!
00:33:02No!
00:33:03No!
00:33:04No!
00:33:04No!
00:33:08No!
00:33:08I 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
00:33:39um, uh, Miriam
00:33:41look, yes

00:39:08I need help. The police are after us.
00:39:11We can't. Amina, you have to.
00:39:14We can't help you. I'm sorry.
00:39:19Please, please.
00:39:20I understand. It's just... I don't know what to do.
00:39:24If we help you into the customer, someone will break when the police start threatening.
00:39:29Are you sure?
00:39:33Thank 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.
00:39:57What kind of state police don't even search the house?
00:40:04Where are they now?
00:40:09Some nice clothes. French labels.
00:40:13We'll find them.
00:40:15You'll be the next.
00:40:17For 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.
00:40:34How about...
00:40:36I'm not stupid.
00:40:41It's.
00:40:51You took a point.
00:40:53I'm not stupid.
00:40:53Your daughter is back.
00:40:55I know I'm just matted as a man.
00:40:59You never know I'm a man.
00:40:59You never know...
00:40:59The man's a man.
00:41:01He's a man.
00:41:03I never know I'm a man.
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.
00:41:39I know she's here.
00:41:41Who?
00:41:50Open this up.
00:41:53Come, come, come!
00:41:54Open 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 coffers 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 and I...
00:42:23Dinky Quinn!
00:42:24and I...
00:42:28and I...
00:42:32and I...
00:42:43and I...
00:42:46and I...
00:42:48Did you get away with it?
00:42:50Yes.
00:42:51I could have closed you down any time, couldn't I?
00:42:57Yes.
00:42:58So?
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.
00:43:20What is that?
00:43:21If it's the police, then I'll deal with them this time.
00:43:27Someone sent you.
00:43:28That goddamn truck.
00:43:29What happened?
00:43:30My lights have gone.
00:43:32I hit the bloody cafe walking near the outbuilding.
00:43:34Right in my way.
00:43:35Thought it was just the one-sided court, but both my lights have gone.
00:43:38We might have one of those. Miriam?
00:43:41Thanks.
00:43:48Ah, that's the right one.
00:43:50How is he?
00:43:53Who?
00:43:54Gaffin. How is he?
00:43:56Dead, I hope.
00:44:03Just look at the... both lights.
00:44:06Is that your clit?
00:44:07You reckon?
00:44:08Let's try it.
00:44:10One light.
00:44:16One light.
00:44:17One light.
00:44:17One light.
00:44:18One light.
00:44:22One light.
00:44:24One light.
00:44:25One light.
00:44:30Are you okay?
00:44:31I'm fine.
00:44:39Where are you?
00:44:42I can help.
00:44:47Let... let me help you.
00:44:50Let...
00:44:52It's your teeth, your help!
00:45:08It's your teeth, your teeth!
00:45:10I'll let you know.
00:45:17It's your teeth.
00:45:18It's your teeth.
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.
00:46:49Oh, you found them.
00:46:52Books, madam, you forgot them?
00:46:53Yes, until somebody reminded me.
00:47:21Robert, take this. Take it to the post office.
00:47:41Here you are.
00:47:43Morning, Jacob.
00:47:44Morning, Madeline.
00:47:46It's warm out today, isn't it?
00:47:47You can say that again.
00:47:49Hey, boy, get me some water.
00:47:53Coyoung, 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 aren't capable of getting it yourself.
00:48:08What's the matter with you, lady?
00:48:10That'll be sixpence for the stamps.
00:48:29We're all of us losing our dignity as human beings in this place, aren'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 Harjan.
00:48:50Yeah, there's no other person.
00:48:55There's no return address.
00:48:57No.
00:48:59Perhaps it's from a secret paramoy.
00:49:05I'd, uh...
00:49:07I'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.
00:49:30Mm.
00:49:35It's...
00:49:36It's not my mother's handwriting.
00:49:59She's not gonna work all the time.
00:50:02This is so difficult because he's too young.
00:50:07What are you doing?
00:50:08Shh.
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.
00:50:16Ah.
00:50:17Ah.
00:50:18Ah.
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.
00:51:05Ma?
00:51:08Ma?
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.
00:51:33Yet when it suits them, they 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.
00:51:56Don't be afraid.
00:51:57Oh, my God.
00:52:04Oh my God!
00:52:06Oh, my God!
00:52:09We have to go, man.
00:52:10Oh, my God!
00:52:11The last thing that...
00:52:11Oh my God!
00:52:15We are laughing!
00:52:33Aunty, is Amina here? I'd like to offer my condolences.
00:52:39She's in the next room. Please see if she will join us.
00:53:07I'm reading your book. I'd forgotten. I even had them.
00:53:11I didn't know you knew my parents. I don't. We came to see you.
00:53:16The murderous. Apparently my work and my trousers caused a heart attack.
00:53:27I can't tell whether you approve of my clothes or not.
00:53:35The nice. It's a nice outfit. I mean that. You look nice in it.
00:53:46So you prefer me in traditional clothes? No.
00:53:50You look very nice in this. But you don't look like yourself.
00:53:56I don't feel like myself. But I have to please a person who, God rest her soul, is not even
00:54:05able to see me.
00:54:11It sounds silly when you put it like that.
00:54:13It is silly. But no one else seems to think so.
00:54:21It doesn't matter what people think. Doesn't it?
00:54:27Why did you get married? Did you fall in love and know you wanted to be with him for the
00:54:33rest of your life?
00:54:38No. He saw me a few times and proposed and my family accepted.
00:54:45And that's what you want to hear, isn't it? That it never occurred to me to question it.
00:54:49I know. What happened to your face? Nothing.
00:55:10Your mother wants to see you downstairs. My husband wants to see you too. To thank you.
00:55:15For what? For Ramoth. Anyone would have done the same.
00:55:21I didn't. Did they hurt you? The police?
00:55:28They were taking my children away. Then you did the right thing.
00:55:36Come. I want to change back into my own cloth.
00:55:55Why should you take that risk?
00:55:58Because 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?
00:56:38Hmm?
00:56:38I have an idea.
00:56:40You haven't had a bad one yet. What 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 gonna do the cooking?
00:57:00Don't worry.
00:57:02I've already thought of that.
00:57:04procedures, ordevish.
00:57:08It's his 정말 좋아.
00:57:08That says,
00:57:08Back in my uppers.
00:57:11So what?
00:57:11Hoeve écoutez.
00:57:12value humanitarian
00:57:21?
00:57:22?
00:57:23?
00:57:25?
00:57:26?
00:57:29?
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, Indian food, maybe a few days a week.
00:57:57It'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?
00:58:11Tato, 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.
00:58:51Thought to add 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 car?
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.
00:59:24That's what we thought.
00:59:39Has it been busy?
00:59:41No, I came to see if Miriam would go 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, I'd be happy to come teach
01:00:19you.
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.
01:00:54Why did you do that?
01:00:55You know eggs are expensive.
01:00:57You have a long day in Cape Town.
01:01:01I may be staying the night.
01:01:17You're early.
01:01:22Very 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?
01:01:37Thanks.
01:01:37Thanks.
01:01:42Thanks.
01:02:46Paula.
01:02:48Paula.
01:02:49Bye.
01:02:51Everything okay?
01:02:53My God.
01:02:53Bye.
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.
01:03:05So I thought I'd stop in to say hello.
01:03:09I also finished early today.
01:03:11Demonstration.
01:03:15Family okay?
01:03:32Are you ready for me?
01:03:34Who else is going to teach me how to drive?
01:03:42Thanks.
01:03:48Thanks.
01:03:49Thanks.
01:03:59Thanks.
01:04:02Thanks.
01:04:12Okay, let's start with the pedals first.
01:04:15This is the gas pedal, the accelerator.
01:04:18Yeah.
01:04:18And this is the brake.
01:04:20Right.
01:04:20And this is the...
01:04:24Do you know how to drive?
01:04:25No.
01:04:26Why 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.
01:04:33It's all 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.
01:04:43There'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.
01:05:04She's having a driving license, sir.
01:05:08There you are.
01:05:10Is he?
01:05:47It's easy, Alice.
01:05:52We were having a driving lesson.
01:05:54I'm not finished yet.
01:05:57Get out of the truck.
01:06:03Miriam, we'll finish another time.
01:06:12How was your day?
01:06:14What?
01:06:15How was your day?
01:06:16Not good.
01:06:18Oh, 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 property.
01:06:43I 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.
01:07:12There's Ruby.
01:07:14I'll be seeing you.
01:07:17You heard me.
01:07:19Come on, Bobby.
01:07:23Come, come, come.
01:07:25Go, go, go, go, go.
01:07:32It won't be a stylish marriage.
01:07:36We can't afford a carriage.
01:07:39I've asked Madeleine 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.
01:07:50Where 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, but not to sit and eat with her.
01:08:07You could bring her here.
01:08:12I'll think of something.
01:08:15I have lived my entire life in this place by 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 wondering whether it's worth going after certain people, no matter how strongly you feel about them.
01:08:38You, more than anyone, has taught me that it is worth it.
01:08:45Don't start changing now.
01:08:47I mean that.
01:09:06Hello.
01:09:09Hello, Robert.
01:09:10Yes.
01:09:11Are you ready?
01:09:28Robert, take care of the shop, please.
01:09:43You didn't come to give me a driving lesson.
01:09:48Why did you?
01:09:53Why did you go?
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?
01:10:36Of course, I care for you.
01:10:39Amina, please.
01:10:40Amina.
01:10:43What am I doing to you?
01:10:48What am I doing to you?
01:10:52Every time I look at you, I want you to stay forever.
01:11:20Will you do something for me?
01:11:24Close your eyes.
01:11:28You can trust me.
01:11:31I'm not afraid of you.
01:11:33I'm not afraid of you.
01:11:41Will you just imagine, just for now, just for now, please, Mom, and then nothing exists except for you and
01:11:57me.
01:12:04Yes.
01:12:27I don't care.
01:12:27Do you need to go to her?
01:12:30No.
01:12:36What happens now?
01:12:42Does this drive Innocence just continue?
01:12:51Come away with me.
01:12:54I have three children.
01:12:55Hmm? Well, 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,
01:13:05and I'll look after you and the children.
01:13:08Amina?
01:13:11Amina, please.
01:13:12Miriam, I know, I know that you'd think
01:13:14that 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,
01:13:20and it can be done.
01:13:21It can be done, Miriam.
01:13:22Miriam.
01:13:25Not for me.
01:13:29No.
01:13:31No.
01:13:51No.
01:13:52No.
01:13:53No.
01:13:55No.
01:13:57Oh, my God.
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?
01:14:54Fleece 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. 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.
01:15:42Quite.
01:16:12I thought I told you not to disturb me.
01:16:16Yes, but that was when you were six years old, no?
01:16:22Dad, 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?
01:16:43Some 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, so your mother's worried
01:16:53and I just came to check to see you're okay.
01:16:59I'm fine.
01:17:01Good.
01:17:06Things have been, um, it'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
01:17:19you.
01:17:21They wouldn't like us to miss out.
01:17:26Only this time people are, I mean the people are talking about her, not just you.
01:17:34They know her as well.
01:17:36They 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.
01:18:18Jacob, I'm so terribly sorry about what happened.
01:18:23I'm ashamed to say that I was afraid of that young policeman and what he might do to you
01:18:27if 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.
01:18:35I'll make her some supper.
01:18:38I can't.
01:18:43I hope you understand.
01:18:47Yes, I understand, but I am sorry.
01:18:56I want to drive you home.
01:18:58No.
