Do you have no tent?

You know no one here?

Are those your kids?

Those two are.

That's my niece.

Where's her mother?

She's dead.

Don't cry. Don't say anything.

This is my daughter. She's nine.

She's my daughter. She's nine.

Okay with you?

How old are you? - Twenty-six.

No, your real age.

Twenty-six.

You don't look like her.

Change your hair

and lose some weight.

Dheepan Natarajan was 35.

His wife, Yalini, was 24.

Their daughter, Illayaal, was nine.

They died six months ago.

You're that family now.

Is she really your daughter?

Part of your family?

Do you know her?

No. Why?

Are you going to leave us here?

No, but she's your responsibility. Understand?

Where do we get the plane?

Madras.

And we land in England?

We're not going to England.

Where, then?

France.

The first half of you, come on!

Hurry! On the first boat!

The rest of you on the second. Come on!

Hurry up!

Hello.

Two euros.

Just two euros.

Hello.

Two euros.

Hello, ma'am. Two euros.

Not expensive.

Lighter?

Two euros.

Key chain.

Two euros, ma'am.

Dheepan, the cops! Move it!

Fuck... I can't stand this.

Get up.

You got any money?

In my jacket.

Close the blinds.

How old are you?

Nine years.

Nine years old.

First floor.

The Mouradian family.

The Natarajan family.

The Natarajan family?

The Moussaieff family.

Go over there. Let us talk.

This isn't going to work.

They'll know we're lying.

Got another idea?

I'm sick of waiting.

I'll go join my cousin in London.

With the girl?

Why should I take her?

You found her, you keep her.

Explain for me how and why

you left Sri Lanka.

I worked for an NGO.

I was a journalist, a peace activist.

The government accused me of -

I've heard this before,

the peace activist thing.

Did your smuggler sell you that story?

What side were you on in the war?

What side were you on?

Could you please translate?

It's not quite clear.

What's your real name?

Sivadhasan.

What's Sivadhasan?

A village in northern Sri Lanka.

I thought you were dead. Is your family still there?

They're all dead.

What do I tell him?

Say you were forced to join the Tigers.

The Sri Lankan army captured you, tortured you,

and tried to kill you.

The army was after me.

They tortured me and tried to kill me.

The army caught him

and accused him of collaborating.

They tortured them.

Fine. How old is the child?

You sure this is the right train?

What does “Le Pré” mean?

“Le Pré.” What does it mean?

It's where we'll live.

What does it mean?

A small prairie. A field.

The employment office called me, but you're early.

I haven't opened the building yet. It's still sealed shut.

I'm Youssouf.

Dheepan.

They're turning on the electricity.

Over here!

Fati!

I'll show you around.

Do I get my own room?

I don't know. We'll see later.

This is all you have? No furniture?

Anyone there?

Here's the lobby. Your job.

People get their mail here.

With thefts and vandalism, they can't use mailboxes.

You have to sort it all.

Understand? You have to sort it all.

Got it? You understand French?

Okay, cool.

This...

is to keep track of your expenses. Everything you spend.

Try to translate what he's saying.

You tell me what you need:

mops, brooms, cleaning products -

Too fast. I don't understand.

Never mind.

Talk... less fast.

If he needs anything, brooms, mops -

Illayaal.

Ask if we can drink the water.

Can she drink the water?

Of course. It's her place.

Buildings A, B, C, D are here. E, F, G, H are over there.

E, F, G, H were being renovated,

but work has stopped.

Your job is A, B, C, D.

The other side isn't your business. Don't mess with that.

Do as you like with the grounds.

Awa, our new caretaker. Awa is in B.

What up, bros?

- I'm showing the new caretaker around. - Hold on.

Did he talk about us?

No.

You can go in.

Showing the new caretaker around.

They just do this in D, and not all the time.

Wait till they're gone.

Then you can clean in peace. Tell him.

You have to wait till they leave.

Between 7:00 and 11:00 a.m. you can clean in peace.

7:00 to 11:00 a.m. Understand?

Milk, honey, sugar, lentils...

I gather this food and offer it to you.

Elephant-headed god, pure as a diamond,

give me the Tamil of the three Sangams.

Lord Ganesh...

spare us misfortune

and make things go well here.

Come and eat.

Here.

Use a spoon.

She can eat with her fingers.

She'll need to use a spoon at school tomorrow.

I can't find my book bag.

Go to sleep.

Is there a pillow?

You're just a kid. You don't need one.

I'll sleep here.

A bit further over.

Dheepan, our new caretaker.

This is Illayaal.

Does she speak a little French?

A little.

She went to school there?

No? Why not?

Burned.

Your school burned down?

Why did it burn down?

What did she say?

Who burned it down?

How do you say “government”?

The government burned her school down?

I see.

We'll put her in Special Needs.

It's to adapt and to learn French.

Understand? It's a special class.

They ask lots of questions.

“Who burned the school down? Why? How?”

Everyone burns down schools.

What do you mean?

I don't want to!

I want to stay with you!

Don't leave me!

Look at me.

The three of us have a secret. - I don't want to.

You mustn't forget that.

We grown-ups have to work.

And you...

you go to school and learn French.

Learn to speak it like the other kids...

or they'll send us back.

Do you want to go back?

Do you?

Me neither.

Look at me.

Ready to go back?

Get up.

Go on.

“Zaoui.”

Building B.

Z.

“Samir Ben Cherif.” S...

Here, you try. Sort these.

“Harek.”

D...

It's easy.

I don't know the names. Can't you ask Youssouf?

What will he think if we keep bothering him?

Everyone has a slot.

They knock, you open the door.

They take their mail. It's easy.

Then what? What do I say to them?

What's there to say?

“Hello. Thank you.

I'm the caretaker's wife.”

Introduce yourself. Be nice, that's all.

Dheepan!

Up here!

- Come quick! - Why?

- Come quick! - Why?

I'm Aziz. I live in A, top floor.

I'm Mourad. I'm in B.

She just got the order wrong.

She went by first name.

Here we go by last name. Look.

B, Bouchnak.

Ben Cherif.

If you didn't know either, why ask me to do it?

Let them talk.

You understand them? You make me look dumb.

Shut up!

Don't fight. It's no big deal. We'll show you.

He'll show you.

C, Certaoui. That's my building.

What do you want?

She's crying.

It's nothing. She's tired. Go to sleep.

What now?

Can I stay with you?

Come on.

This must have been the kid's room.

“India's participation in the conflict with the Tamil Tigers...”

Give me a kiss like everyone else.

What's up, bud?

Me caretaker. Clean.

You live here? You can't go in.

We're not done. Come back.

After. Later.

Beat it! Move further away!

Hello, ma'am.

I can't manage by myself.

It's like having two kids.

Couldn't you work too?

What am I doing?

This isn't work?

I mean for money. Outside.

When I go out, everyone stares.

We're new. It's normal that they stare.

We'll get used to it.

Lots of women here wear a veil.

You could wear one too.

That's not my religion.

I'm not talking about religion.

I mean behaving like the others.

And stop making a face every time I open my mouth.

How are you, my friend?

I found her a job. She'll work for Mr. Habib.

He's old and out of it.

She'll be cooking and cleaning.

He's on the ninth floor in G.

It's for an old man in building G.

Cooking and cleaning.

Youssouf, what does it pay?

Five hundred a month.

It's good pay.

How much?

A lot, but pretend it sounds normal. Five hundred euros.

Five hundred euros!

What did I just say? Just say yes.

- Well? - She speaks no French.

That's no problem.

Who'll take care of Illayaal?

Can she bring the child?

No kid, just her.

I'll watch her.

- Well? - Yes.

Five hundred?

You're thinking in rupees.

Five hundred times 170 is...

85,000!

- Who's she? - The caretaker's wife.

Your bag, please.

Youssouf!

- Mr. Habib, how are you? - Hello.

I've brought your new -

You know if Karine is here?

Karine?

She's replacing you.

Come see. - No, I'll do it.

Come on.

This is the bathroom.

The bedroom, which you have to keep clean.

This is the kitchen. He has his meals here.

This is where he eats.

Cleaning products are here.

As for the living room,

when they're here, you knock

if you need something.

And they'll tell you to come in.

Understand?

The door... knock-knock.

Come in.

- Is Mr. Habib okay? - Yes, finish eat.

See you tomorrow.

- Who are they? - Like the guys downstairs.

What do they do there?

They stay in the living room.

They talk, like it's their office.

Who are they? - Thugs.

Gangs? Like the Vennilas and the Minnals?

Sort of, but less dangerous.

Youssouf says it's normal here.

Can I play with you?

No!

I'm sorry.

“Without friends, could I get by?

What would become of me?

Without friends... I would be lost.

Without friends...”

What's that?

A poem. About friendship.

Without friends, you're stupid.

Without friends, you're caca.

Without friends, you're dumb.

Without friends, you understand nothing.

Without friends, I hate you.

Without friends, you're ugly.

Without friends, you're caca.

Are you making fun of me?

Who do you think you are?

I don't want to see you. Get out of here!

I hate you!

My mother is dead. I have no mother.

You could at least try to be nice to me.

I don't know how to act with kids.

I know nothing.

Did you have kids in Sri Lanka?

Brothers? Sisters?

Two younger brothers.

Weren't you nice to them?

Yes.

So be the same way with me.

Come in.

Any left?

This stuff you make is great.

You understand Chinese now?

Can you bring more water?

It's spicy for him.

You... cold?

- Brahim! - What's up, guys?

Good to be out?

You bet!

Better out here, huh?

Can you ask Fifa to come up?

Sure.

You two like it here?

You... happy here?

Where are you from?

India, Paki?

Sri Lanka.

Where's that?

India... here.

Sri Lanka...

here.

So same as India.

Below India.

Whatever.

Want some?

Anyway, your husband...

is doing a good job. It's cool.

Thank you.

If there's anything you need...

If Youssouf busts your balls...

Okay.

I'm off.

This is for the food.

Your cooking's real good.

Thank you.

Hello.

Contact!

Push... button floor!

Okay!

Button! Floor!

Shit!

Can I ask you a question?

Do you find people here funny?

I don't know. Why?

Sometimes they say things and laugh.

I understand all the words...

but I don't find it funny.

It's not about language.

What, then?

It's about a sense of humor.

French humor?

Sense of humor, period.

You're not funny.

Even in Tamil you're not funny.

Never?

What?

This is nice, okay?

What is?

Talking together like this is nice.

We're not from Le Pré.

We come from Sermaise, Orgeval.

We're paid by the day.

We hide the dope, oversee the transactions.

The bosses prefer outsiders who don't give a fuck about the locals.

If you live here and know people, you end up discussing stuff,

and you get fucked.

Whereas they mean jack shit to us.

We're paid to enforce rules.

We don't let our guard down.

But it's shitty work.

You want to eat?

Yes, please.

Can you bring it here?

Thanks.

All finished?

Yes.

The old man's asleep?

Are you leaving?

You like soccer?

You couldn't care less.

Don't stand there. Sit.

Sit down.

What's that?

An electronic tag.

Run?

For running? No.

So you don't run.

Why?

This way they know where I am.

My name is Illayaal.

I live in France.

I like dancing.

Hello.

Hi.

Your turn now.

My name is Dheepan.

What are you doing?

How strange.

It's like being at the movies.

See that dog?

I know that dog.

Shall I take everything?

No, just that.

First we'll go to the temple.

- And then? - The picnic.

Did you bring everything?

Samosas...

rolls.

You mentioned Shoban.

He's in Dortmund now.

Can you get me his number?

Do you see Ravi?

The one in Dortmund.

Ravi can get me Shoban's number.

Did you ever come across my brother?

Thanks.

Two for five euros.

How are you, Dheepan?

What's up?

You know...

in Greece they used to behead messengers bearing bad news.

Colonel Cheran is here. He wants to see you.

- Is he alone? - Yes.

Wait here.

He's here.

Slowly. Take it easy.

Nice and slow.

You okay? - Yes.

Want some water?

Tell him to come in.

Come in.

Sivadhasan!

It's been a while.

How are you?

I'm happy to see you.

I heard you were beheaded,

that your head was identified.

I have an important mission.

Find money.

I spoke to the Lebanese.

They want $100,000 for weapons.

Are our people here still behind us?

Why weapons, Colonel?

To send back home!

To whom?

Our comrades!

Colonel...

it's all over.

In Nandikadal, I lost my entire unit.

My wife died.

My children died.

The war is over.

What was that? Say that again!

Okay, Colonel.

The war isn't over.

But for me it's over.

We set off for our enemies' tombs

And continue the struggle for Tamil Eelam

Our wounds will never heal

But my dreams will never cease

We are not far Behold the enemy border

We set off for our enemies' tombs

And continue the struggle for Tamil Eelam

Behold the homes in ruins

Soon they will be rebuilt

Hear the cries in the refugee camps

Those crying children are the Tigers of tomorrow!

Suffering did not have to be our fate

If Tamils united, there would be no more opposing camp

No more opposing camp!

Say the name of our leader and be ready to fight!

He has bad breath.

Are you okay?

What happened?

You sure you're okay?

Why's he sleeping here?

I have no idea. He must have had a nightmare.

I've been here 30 years.

There was my dad.

They got him.

They almost got my uncle.

I'm next on the list.

Some mornings I wake up and think...

“This has to stop.”

Whatever...

Understand any of that?

Understand a little?

A lot?

Not at all.

No big deal.

Nothing to say?

Nothing to tell?

I don't know, your daughter...

your husband.

Daughter.

Go on. I won't understand.

She's not my daughter.

He's not my husband.

It's all fake.

What's it mean when you do...

like this?

Yes? No? Fuck off?

Where we're from...

if you fall down, you smile.

If you're in pain, you smile.

Here...

if you smile too much,

people think you don't understand

or that you're making fun.

“How are you?”

“Nice weather.”

It's perfect for a wedding. It's 22-carat gold.

You can see the craftsmanship.

How much, ma'am?

Seven thousand euros.

Both of them.

This is less expensive.

Rubies, emeralds.

How much?

It's 5,000.

- How much? - 5,000.

What exactly are you looking for?

I'll think it over.

Spinach.

And potato?

Go to your room.

- Why did they do that? - Quiet!

To your room!

Yalini!

Are you asleep?

Yalini?

Why are you here?

- I'm leaving. - For where?

London.

My cousin's. I called her.

First we get our papers.

I had no idea they'd be shooting at each other.

Doesn't it remind you of anything?

It's not the same thing.

Why not?

Because you did the shooting there?

Whose is this?

How did you get your passport?

What do you think?

You can't stop me.

I'll leave!

I'm going to England.

I'm the caretaker.

Can I see your bag?

Don't search her.

Don't search my wife, please.

Butt out.

I'm not his wife.

Go ahead, search me.

Search me!

I said not to.

What the fuck?

What are you doing?

Guys, are you crazy?

She's the caretaker's wife.

He's doing his job. Let him through.

Fuck your caretaker.

- Don't talk shit. - We'll kill him!

What's your problem?

Let go or I'll scream.

You'd leave without Illayaal?

Yes.

You'd leave her behind?

What do you think?

Did you end up believing this story?

You think I'm her mother?

You think she believes I am?

You're not my husband, Dheepan.

I'm not your wife.

And she's not our daughter.

Talk.

Say something!

What?

Leave here? No way.

Hey, caretaker! Making a soccer field or what?

Where are the goalposts?

You forgot the penalty spot!

Do the highway too!

Gonna sniff that line?

Gonna cut it with curry?

- Son of a bitch! - Open up, motherfucker!

Open the fucking door, motherfucker!

Keep it open!

Help me get out.

No-fire zone! No crossing!

Here...

no fire-zone!

Motherfucker!

You're dead meat!

We'll waste you!

You're dead, Mowgli!

The principal wants you to sign this.

What's it for?

To make an appointment.

For what?

To put me in a normal class.

Come and eat.

What are you doing?

I'll be back in five minutes.

Are they your new army?

What's your plan?

You going to train them?

Buy weapons?

Got everything?

Yes.

Have a good day.

Have a good day.

- How are you? - Okay.

Why did you leave Mr. Habib?

I don't want to work there anymore.

Mr. Habib needs you.

I don't like working there.

Listen...

Brahim wants to talk to you.

Come in.

Why did you stop coming?

Do I scare you?

Yes.

You know...

I'm just a businessman.

Causing trouble isn't in my interest.

The body search, the cinder block, the elevator: I had no idea.

I only heard about them.

But your husband better lay off with building D

and his white line...

or I'll kill him.

You went to see him?

No.

Youssouf came for me.

Why you?

Because he knows me.

Why not tell me himself?

What will you do?

Why are you mixing us up in this?

Who is “us”?

Some thug threatens to kill me and you don't care?

You don't give a damn!

- It's for your own - - Shut up!

What do you want?

Why are you touching me?

Forgive me.

Just like that?

I don't want to!

I don't want to.

“Demons and marvels

Winds and tides

Far away, the sea has already receded

Demons and marvels, winds and tides

And you, like an algae gently caressed by the wind

In the sands of your bed you stir, dreaming

Demons and marvels, winds and tides...”

“Far away, the sea has already receded”

Take off your coat.

Can I go to Yasmine's for her birthday?

Ask Dad.

What are you doing?

When are you coming home?

I don't know.

I found the passport and money.

Thanks.

I'm going to call my cousin...

and take Illayaal to England with me this summer.

I'll tell the school.

Come home.

I'll waste you, motherfucker!

Hi.

Big clash with Farid.

I need someone here. Where are they?

Think it's vacation?

Tell them to come up.

Mr. Habib done.

Want to eat?

Fuck!

I wanted to tell you...

my husband is not a bad man.

He's a good man.

It's the war that...

disturb...

You mustn't hurt him.

You're all busting my balls today.

- Do you want tea? - Yeah.

Forget it.

You're done. You can go.

Help me. We have to get out.

Quick!

Help me.

Please.

Please.

Call your husband.

Calm down. Tell me what's going on.

Who's going to kill you?

Where are you?

Where are you?

Empty out the area!

Tell the lookouts to clear out!

Beat it!

Caretaker!

Get the fuck out of here!

Did you check the top floor?

Find him, goddamn it!

Don't move!

Where is he?

Where?

He's dead.

It's me.

Dheepan, look at me!

All this blood...

Are you hurt?

It's his blood.
