00:00:00All I'm longing is to.
00:00:04I'll be the last one.
00:00:14Bastards.
00:00:16Good day, Amina.
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.
00:03:28But...
00:03:37We're coming in and get ready for school, both of you.
00:03:40Thank God.
00:03:41We'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, 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 they're locks in the country.
00:06:26You 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.
00:06:35We'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?
00:07:03Shall we leave?
00:07:05The park?
00:07:07It's over.
00:07:13The river.
00:07:16The river.
00:07:18It's over.
00:07:22The river.
00:07:23It's over.
00:07:30It's over, isn't it?
00:07:32No, it's over.
00:07:32Yeah, thanks.
00:07:33It's over.
00:07:33No, it's over.
00:07:34It's over.
00:07:34The river.
00:07:34I don't know.
00:08:10We need to work hard.
00:08:12That's all.
00:08:44I don't know.
00:09:27She would have been proud of you.
00:09:47Hello, Brian.
00:09:50Mrs 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.
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.
00:10:53Or any time.
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.
00:12:11Do it then.
00:12:13I 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.
00:12:29You have a beautiful baby girl.
00:12:40This person will feel like I'm running because she is big.
00:12:40I've had a stretch, she's Told me.

00:15:27nice

00:15:33everybody well I'm not everybody and I wouldn't care if I had a boy or a girl as long as
00:15:38the child
00:15:39was healthy and happy nothing else really matters does it I think she's right I think it's time for dessert
00:15:57we're going to Cape Town on the weekend all of us do you remember when this came two weeks ago

00:16:55PIANO PLAYS
00:17:15Ah, come and help me here.
00:17:17They'll be here any minute now.
00:17:19And you're not particular, Omaris.
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.
00:17:37Hey.
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.
00:18:03I 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, for either of us.
00:18:31But then I realized that there were no gossiping neighbors, no list of rules, no need to stay
00:18:37home 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.
00:19:28Um, 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.
00:19:38I, I, I should stay and help.
00:19:41Ah, ah, Bobby, you go.
00:19:42I'll take care of the children.
00:19:44Farah can make us tea.
00:19:58Go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:20:04Woo-hoo!
00:20:07Yeah, I, sure.
00:20:09Good one.
00:20:11Yeah, go, go, go, go.
00:20:16Is that the Harjan girl?
00:20:18She's young.
00:20:19And she owns this place, huh?
00:20:21But a partner.
00:20:22Imagine, at her age.
00:20:24To be the 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 not totally one of our girls.
00:20:35Have you ever seen one of our girls with such...
00:20:38with such curly hair?
00:20:40Are you saying that she's part black?
00:20:43That's a 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?
00:20:55You 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-India.
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 want a ten-pence-worth thing, yeah?
00:21:25Thanks.
00:21:42Uh, I'd like to serve someone over here, please.
00:21:45Uh, I'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, 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.
00:22:41I'll send some over there frying now.
00:22:44Amina, this gentleman here is looking for someone to help build him a garden.
00:22:48You 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.
00:22:58If 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.
00:24:03Hello, ma'am.
00:24:06Come on.
00:24:11Bye.
00:24:11Bye.
00:24:12Bye.
00:24:23Bye.
00:24:24Bye.
00:24:25Bye.
00:24:26Bye.
00:24:28Bye.
00:24:29Bye.
00:24:29Bye.
00:24:29Bye.
00:24:29Bye.
00:24:31Bye.
00:24:35Bye.
00:24:50I... I brought you some food.
00:24:57It smells delicious.
00:24:59I wish I could cook so well.
00:25:01But you work in a cafe?
00:25:03All Jacob's recipes.
00:25:07Well, then you should learn.
00:25:08So my mother tells me.
00:25:09Your mother's right.
00:25:11What will you do when you get married?
00:25:13I don't know.
00:25:14I suppose I'll have to find someone who can cook.
00:25:21Have you eaten?
00:25:23Why don't you join me?
00:25:25I have to mind the show.
00:25:36I just want to know you better.
00:25:39I'm, uh...
00:25:41I'm just a housewife and a mother.
00:25:43And doesn't a housewife have thoughts and feelings and wishes just like everyone else?
00:25:50You were the first person to smile at me at the cafe.
00:25:54In eight days.
00:25:59I counted.
00:26:01Sit.
00:26:02Sit.
00:26:05Sit.
00:26:05Sit.
00:26:06plan you back to this place.
00:26:11Sit.
00:26:16Sit.
00:26:17Sit.
00:26:17Sit.
00:26:19Sit.
00:26:42What's this?
00:26:45Bellatrain.
00:26:50I can't take it.
00:26:52Don't you like reading?
00:26:53I love reading.
00:26:56I mean, I used to.
00:26:58I used to read a lot.
00:27:02Please, keep it there.
00:27:06Stay for dinner?
00:27:08I should get going.
00:27:11No, you can't drive at night.
00:27:13I'll be fine.
00:27:13No, maybe in town, but here, the roads are just tracks.
00:27:19Stay.
00:27:20Stay.
00:27:30Yeah.
00:28:03If you're going to stay, you should come inside.
00:28:08Your husband's not back yet.
00:28:10He works late in Cape Town.
00:28:12Usually he stays at his sister and brother's place.
00:28:20The dal was delicious.
00:28:22Do you want some more?
00:28:23No, no, I would like to clean up, though.
00:28:26It's hot water in the bathroom. Come.
00:28:59It's hot water in the room.
00:29:12What are you doing?
00:29:19I couldn't sleep.
00:29:21Me neither.
00:29:25Let me get you some tea.
00:29:27I'll make the tea with you.
00:29:33Miriam, who's always getting the tea for everyone.
00:29:43Tell me, has anyone ever looked after you?
00:29:55When did you come to South Africa?
00:29:59Seven years ago, after I got married.
00:30:02Me too.
00:30:04Our first evening off of the boat from India, and we walked straight into the Indian Congress,
00:30:08protests.
00:30:09There were sticks and guns and policemen.
00:30:12I 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?
00:30:37Yes, that word instead I don't like.
00:30:39I can't a woman do both if she wants to?
00:30:41It's not usual.
00:30:43No.
00:30:44But neither am I, and neither are you.
00:30:50How did you learn to think like this?
00:30:54My grandmother.
00:30:55My mother's mother.
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.
00:31:21What happened to her?
00:31:33She was 19.
00:31:36With one child already.
00:31:39Being in 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.
00:31:59What did they do to her?
00:32:04Salo!
00:32:07Salo!
00:32:08Salo!
00:32:09Salo!
00:32:16Salo!
00:32:21Salo!
00:32:23Salo!
00:32:24Salo!
00:32:31Salo!
00:32:33Salo!
00:32:35Salo!
00:32:35Salo!
00:32:35Salo!
00:32:36Salo!
00:32:36Salo!
00:32:37Salo!
00:32:37Salo!
00:32:43Hold him out, hold him out so I can kiss him.
00:32:48Please, please.
00:32:50No, no, no, stop!
00:32:53Stop it!
00:32:55No, no, no, stop!
00:32:57No!
00:32:59Stop, let me out!
00:33:01No, no!
00:33:03No!
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, she always warned me about the dangers of being oppressed in a
00:33:23marriage.
00:33:26Is that why you haven't gotten married?
00:33:30That's not the only reason.
00:33:39Um, um, Miriam.
00:33:43Yes?
00:33:46Nothing.
00:33:48You should go. The baby needs you.
00:33:56Yeah!
00:33:57Matt **
00:34:13Sam?
00:34:15Jasmin!
00:34:16Look up, I'm the Amina, we should be in the garden.
00:34:19Yeah.
00:34:20Are you ready for school?
00:34:22Ah, did you eat?
00:34:24Amina 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?
00:34:50Perhaps later, I'm going to start work.
00:34:58I hope I didn't worry you with all my strange ideas and stories last night.
00:35:05No, you made me think, and that's supposed to be a good thing.
00:35:11Isn't it?
00:35:12That depends on who you ask.
00:35:18What are you doing?
00:35:23Reading.
00:35:24I can see that.
00:35:26Reading what?
00:35:29Poetry.
00:35:31Poetry.
00:35:32At this time of night.
00:35:37I'm tired.
00:35:39I was busy in Cape Town today.
00:35:42With how?
00:35:42What did you say?
00:35:47Nothing.
00:36:08Love bade me welcome, yet my soul drew back, guilty of dust and sin.
00:36:14But quick-eyed love.
00:36:16But quick-eyed love, observing me grow slack from my first entrance in, drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning if
00:36:24I 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.
00:36:39You must have just missed him.
00:36:41Robert, get these gentlemen 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.
00:37:55Have you ever been to a police station, young lady?
00:37:57Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!
00:37:59Please stop!
00:38:01No!
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.
00:38:14So, where are they?
00:38:16Where are they?
00:38:18It came down.
00:38:22They're my brother-in-law's.
00:38:25You know, if you're lying, I'll beat you and your children and your baby!
00:38:30Flynn!
00:38:42Let's go!
00:38:46You know inside your golf!
00:38:49You know inside the tunnel.
00:38:51Been doing inside your carloads or back right away.
00:38:51You know inside your sorrowslough.
00:38:51Well inside your carloads.
00:38:53He is doing inside your heart.
00:38:53I told you about the greed.
00:38:53Try to have a gold.
00:38:53What the hell are you doing?
00:38:54No?
00:38:55There ito.
00:38:57It Are you kidding?
00:38:58To never строг Cole.
00:38:59You did not see what happens.
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, someone won't 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 did more.
00:41:03No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:41:10Jacob?
00:41:11Sergeant.
00:41:12We're looking for an Indian woman.
00:41:16Indians 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, um, I'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.
00:42:05That'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 we'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.
00:42:48Did 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.
00:43:05Where is she?
00:43:06I really don't know.
00:43:10I'm sorry.
00:43:20Who's 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 gone down the truck.
00:43:29What happened?
00:43:30My lights have gone.
00:43:32They put very careful 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?
00:43:54Careful. How is he?
00:43:56Dead, I hope.
00:44:03Just look at the... both lights.
00:44:06That should fit.
00:44:07You're again?
00:44:08Let's try it.
00:44:11Come on, Mike.
00:44:14Come on, Mike.
00:44:16Come on, Mike.
00:44:17Give me hope.
00:44:29Are you okay?
00:44:31I'm fine.
00:44:33Are you okay?
00:44:45I'm fine.
00:44:46Let...
00:44:47Let... let... let... let me help you.
00:44:49Let...
00:44:51I don't need your help!
00:45:08Dol.
00:45:09Don't need your help.
00:45:11Oh, my God.
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.
00:46:35I don't have the washing out.
00:46:37I just want to leave.
00:46:37I just want to leave.
00:46:37I just wanted to leave.
00:46:37I forgot this thing.
00:46:37I don't want to leave.
00:46:37I can't leave.
00:46:37I can't leave.
00:46:49Oh, you found books, madam. You forgot them. Yes until somebody reminded me
00:47:10of the book. Robert, take this. Take it to the post office.
00:47:41Here you are. Morning, Jacob. Morning, Madeline.
00:47:46It's warmer today, isn't it? You can say that again. Hey, boy, get me some water.
00:47:53Coyon, you understand English, do you? There's a jug over there.
00:47:58Listen, I'm the employee here, and I'll get you the water if you are incapable of getting it yourself.
00:48:08What's the matter with you, lady? That'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. Don't you believe that for a second? It'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 Hargeon.
00:48:50Here. 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...
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.
00:49:30Hmm.
00:49:35It's...
00:49:36It's not my mother's handwriting.
00:49:44That such as you would suddenly be mine.
00:49:59She's not gonna work all the time.
00:50:01This is 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 realise there'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.
00:50:30Send 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...
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.
00:51:53And she's sleeping.
00:51:56Come here, Ben.
00:51:58After Farah, I'll take her home.
00:52:06See you soon.
00:52:11So, look, you can't go home!
00:52:14The night's meeting...
00:52:15Um, just as soon as I was waiting.
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.
00:53:39It's a nice outfit.
00:53:42I mean that. You look nice in it.
00:53:46So you prefer me in traditional clothes?
00:53:48No. You look very nice in this, but you don't look like yourself.
00:53:56And I 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. But no one else seems to think so.
00:54:21It doesn'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. 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?
00:54:47That it never occurred to me to question it.
00:54:50Well, it 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?
00:55:28They 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.
00:56:16I wish I could be more like you.
00:56:18Be careful what you wish for.
00:56:22Me and you.
00:56:37Jacob?
00:56:38Hmm?
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.
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 gonna do the cooking?
00:57:00Don't worry.
00:57:02I've already thought of that.
00:57:04But I don't want to do the cooking.
00:57:08But you are not scared.
00:57:11I don't know the good thing.
00:57:14But I should be more like.
00:57:18What is it?
00:57:19You don't want the mountains.
00:57:23Maybe you where you go?
00:57:25You are a big fortunately.
00:57:28The blue box.
00:57:29And the green box.
00:57:32And the green box.
00:57:33And the black box.
00:57:33And the white box.
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?
00:58:04Ah.
00:58:07You haven't even had my cooking.
00:58:09I ate here, remember?
00:58:11Jato 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.
00:58:50I thought you had a fearless streak.
00:58:55How 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?
00:59:16I know this government would like us to think they're savages, but Africans can speak as well as we can.
00:59:26I'll tell you.
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,
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
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.
01:01:01I may be staying the night.
01:01:17You're early.
01:01:22Very early.
01:01:24What happened?
01:01:27The market's closed.
01:01:29Closed?
01:01:29Why closed?
01:01:32They have action by the blacks.
01:01:35Bloody blacks?
01:01:37Thanks.
01:02:52Everything 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, so I thought I'd stop in to say hello.
01:03:08I also finished early today.
01:03:10A demonstration.
01:03:12Oh.
01:03:15Family, you okay?
01:03:32Are you ready for me?
01:03:34Who else is going to teach me how to drive?
01:03:37Okay.
01:03:48Okay.
01:04:12Okay.
01:04:12Let'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.
01:04:21And 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.
01:04:33You'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?

01:09:53Why did you come?
01:10:07I can't.
01:10:12I'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.
01:10:43What am I doing to you?

01:11:20Will you do something for me?
01:11:24Close your eyes.
01:11:28I can trust you.
01:11:31I'm not afraid of you.
01:11:41Will you just imagine, just for now?
01:11:46Just for now.
01:11:48Please, mom and dad.
01:11:53Nothing exists except for you and me.
01:11:58All right.
01:12:26Do we need to go to her?
01:12:31No.
01:12:37What happens now?
01:12:42Please, drive Innocence. Just continue.
01:12:51Come away with me.
01:12:54I have three children.
01:12:56We'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,
01:13:05and I'll look after you and the children.
01:13:08Amina?
01:13:11Amina?
01:13:11Amina, please.
01:13:12Miriam.
01:13:13I know, I know that you'd 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.
01:13:22It can be done, Miriam.
01:13:23It can be done, Miriam.
01:13:27Not for me.
01:13:28It can be done, because of me.
01:13:50You don't just, I am not sure what I'm gonna say,
01:13:51I don't know.
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.
01:14:57Oh, 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.
01:15:04Sorry 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. Who is he anyway?
01:15:23He's my driver.
01:15:34Why doesn't your driver keep the keys?
01:15:36I guess I'd prefer to keep them myself.
01:15:38Yeah, I know what you mean.
01:15:40Paid it to be safe than sorry.
01:15:41Quite.
01:15:42All right.
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.
01:16:24I'm sorry, I thought that, um...
01:16:27You 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?
01:16:42Some 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.
01:17:36Oh, 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.
01:18:17Jacob.
01:18:18I don't know.
01:18:19I'm so terribly sorry about what happened.
01:18:23And I'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.
01:18:33Check him. Come inside. I'll make her some supper.
01:18:39I can't.
01:18:44I hope you understand.
01:18:48Yes, sir. I understand.
01:18:51I am sorry.
