I am waiting!

[Mother laughs]

Wait, here it is!

[laughing] There he is!

My dear son.

Will you get good grades this year?

Okay.

Will you work hard?

- [Grunts questioningly] - Okay.

I'm dependent on you.

Good.

[door handle sound]

What are you doing, mom?

What do you mean? Are you embarrassed by me?

- I'll rub your back. - ["Believer"] I don't like that, I don't want to.

Let's get rid of this dirt.

I haven't rubbed your back in a long time.

[Mother laughs]

Let's clean this pretty face.

[Mother laughs]

- What is this? - What?

- Did you get your ear pierced? - I swear to you I didn't.

[Mother] Do you swear you didn't?

Take your hand away, let me see.

Do you swear you didn't?

O shameless one! Are you lying on top of that?

But all the players have [in French] tattoos and piercings in their ears.

[Mother] I don't care about this.

[French] Tattoo? [In Arabic] This is what we are missing.

[distant noise]

[thumping sound]

[A man coughs hard]

[Man] Come on, Amal!

[door closes hard]

- [Taher shouts from afar] Where is my shirt? - In the living room.

This is [in French] for the semi-final.

Thanks, mom.

[heavy footsteps]

When will you pay the electricity bill?

They will cut off the electricity next week.

["Tahir"] Don't you have any money left?

["Amal"] No.

Okay, Amal.

[Tahir] The Champions League is starting soon, I'll place a bet.

Champions League"?

are you kidding?

[footsteps away]

[door slams shut]

Have you seen this?

- [Humming, “Tahir”] - [“Moamen”] What do you think?

The idea is not in [in French] the equipment...

Rather [in French] diligence,

[in French] and talent,

And perseverance.

[in French] The goalkeeper must anticipate...

He must know [in French] the penalty area,

And it has [in French] an incentive.

You don't know what you're talking about.

[smiles sarcastically]

I was the best [in French] striker of my generation.

I almost joined Olympique Marseille.

["Believer"] You don't come to watch my matches.

I don't have time, I'm working.

Yes, in the bar?

["Pure"] Respect yourself.

["pure"] polite.

the curse!

["Believer"] You know?

My mother will talk to Wadih about me.

- "Meek"? - Yes, "Wadih."

Is your mother a football expert?

Encourages you to join the Esperance team, doesn't it?

I will play wherever I want.

You will not play for Esperance.

I will not allow you.

Did you understand?

- [Denouncing] “Esperance”! - My professional life belongs to me alone, father.

And stop your nonsense about Olympique Marseille,

You never contracted with them.

[Raising his voice] If I were an international player, we wouldn't be living in this dirty house.

We don't even have a car!

"Believer"!

"Believer"!

I came home for you.

- [Door slams shut] - For your mother and brother.

[Woman shouts] They were messing with us!

- We have to do something... - [Woman 2] Amal has come.

We have been demanding a salary increase for a long time!

- [Woman shouts] We must defend ourselves! - ["Amal"] What's happening?

[Woman] Enough is enough!

The strike will start today.

We can't do this!

Management informed that the strike will begin next week.

Wasn't this the agreement?

[Woman] I swear I heard him say to the foreman yesterday...

We are cowards and can't do anything.

Stop this, Sondos, this is unacceptable.

What are you girls crying about?

Have you forgotten what happened last year? Do you want this to happen again?

We have been preparing for the strike for some time.

We have informed management. What happened? Do you want us to lose everything?

After all those preparations? The strike has not been cancelled!

-We can shut down the machines. - ["Amal"] Do you remember last year?

- [Amal] Speak, Alia. - [Women together] We have not forgotten.

We were very patient, we did everything we could.

Our salaries are always late,

We don't have health insurance.

- ["Amal"] I'm not responsible for this! - We know, but tell them!

Do you know something?

If you want to start the strike today, so be it!

But we always vote and make decisions together.

We always choose the right decision for everyone.

Please don't forget this!

Who wants to strike today?

Who wants it next week?

Thanks! Go back to work.

[unintelligible mutterings]

What is this mess?

I thought we were done with that.

Nothing, everything is fine.

Enough, you're not reliable.

I will not help you with your son.

I will take care of the matter.

You can't even control your group.

Go back to work.

[sounds of needles moving]

What is your opinion?

- [In French] Hello, how are you? - Welcome.

“Ali” and “Moamen”.

- You know Anissa. - nice to meet you.

- How are you? - fine.

We're going to practice, I'm the goalkeeper.

You can sit behind the goal and watch us, okay?

[Ali interrupts them]

Come on, Momen, we have to go.

- Do you know where you are sitting, Anisa? - ["Anissa"] Yes.

["Ali"] It won't take long.

[Youth] Come on!

[A young man shouts] Esperance is losing!

Calm down, hurry up.

[Coach] “Moamen”…

[Coach] Come on.

[The rest of the guys whisper]

Did you sign the contract?

I forgot about it, Coach. I was in a hurry this morning.

- Bring it tomorrow, [in French] Okay? - Okay.

What does he want?

- Contract. - Forget it.

May I have a minute?

We will go to eat lunch.

The topic is over.

[Director] What now?

Sondos is behind this chaos.

[Director] Who is “Sondus”?

Those that work in the store.

[Manager] The brunette?

[Continues] Alone or with someone?

Alone.

- [Man] Call me at seven o'clock. - Thank you.

- [Manager] Can we go now? - Thanks.

Let's go.

[starts car engine]

[Player 1] Come on!

[Player 1] Don't make him shoot!

[loud cheering]

[Player 2] Come on, Momen!

[Player 3] Guard this side!

[Player 1] Oh Ziad!

[Player 1] Don't shoot!

[Player 1] Well done.

[Players cheer]

[boos]

[Player 3] Pass the ball!

Let's go.

[Player 4] Don't make him shoot!

[in French] Come on!

["Moamen"] Come on, Ziad!

["Taher"] Hold the ball, "Moamen"!

[Mommen groans]

- It's clear that you know how to play ball! - [Coach] Good.

[Player 5] Somebody shut up this disgusting thing!

Who are you talking about?

- whats your problem? - [Some players] Stop, guys.

Stay in the goal and keep your mouth shut, we're not in a bar for him to get his drink!

- [Player] This is none of your business. - [Some young men] Enough, guys.

[glass shatters]

[Coach] Leave!

[Referee whistles]

[Players booing]

[Coach in French] Calm down.

- What are they doing? - [In French] Calm down.

[Player] The sin is the sin of a “believer.”

[Player] Tell your father never to come here again.

Damn, that's not enough.

I will act.

- [Young man] Give this to your mother. - [Boy in French] Okay.

[Young man] Go home.

- [Young man] Don't be late outside. - [Boy] Okay.

How are you, Joe?

[hands him money]

What is this? are you kidding me?

That's all we have, we have a game next week.

The coach is bothering us a lot, we need to relax.

Drugs are harmful to an athlete like you.

What about money?

I'm kidding with you.

[Promoter] Here you go.

- Good luck in the match. - Thanks, Joe.

- ["Ali"] Good night. - [Joe and the guys] Goodnight.

give me this.

When I sign with “Esperance”…

I will get paid 200 million.

I will buy a Kawasaki motorcycle.

You are more foolish than your father.

If you get this amount,

The first thing I would buy is a car, or even a tank...

Then I will get out of this dirty place.

I leave Anissa and accompany the blonde girl...

The one with the famous full lips on Instagram!

I'll rent an apartment by the lake and fuck her everywhere.

Non-stop.

When I finish, I will spend a decade in Saudi Arabia.

I will make a lot of money,

I return to open a café at the lake.

I'll tell you what happens.

Apartment on the second floor in “Al-Roud”...

Overlooking a garbage dump.

You'll live there with your stupid companion, Anissa.

I'll think about it while I pee.

[clicks on phone]

[Ali urinates]

Can I spend the night with you?

- In “Saudi Arabia” or in Beheira? - Damn you!

You don't have to ask permission, "believer."

[uplifting piano music]

Thanks.

Thanks.

[phone notification rings]

“(Moamen): I will spend the night with (Ali) tonight.”

Is everything okay?

My son said he would spend the night with his friend.

Your manager told me about your son.

He said he was a skilled player.

It just needs a little push to succeed.

Like all of us.

[In French] I am confident [in Arabic] that he deserves this opportunity with Professor Wadih.

- Thanks for everything. - This the pleasure of.

[He hums disapprovingly]

[laughs a short laugh]

I won't bother you, thank you very much.

No, I will pay.

- No, I will not accept. - I insist.

When “Moamen” signs with Professor “Wadih”…

Invite me to dinner.

Thanks!

[door creaks]

You won't find a taxi here.

Maybe I'll find her at the [French] crossroads.

Do you want me to pick you up?

Come on, I'll pick you up.

[car unlock alarm]

Go up.

[romantic music]

Come on, slow one!

[phone rings]

[ends call]

[Romantic music continues]

Do you have children?

Yes, but they are big.

The same age as “Moamen”?

A little older than him.

Why are you afraid?

Where are we going?

We won't go away.

We're almost there, it's a quiet place.

I want to go back to my home.

Why are you in such a hurry?

["Amal"] Stop the car, I'll take a taxi.

[Man] Stop the nonsense!

[stray dogs barking]

-I want to go back to my house. - Do not be afraid.

look at me.

-I want to go back to my house. - look at me.

[Whispering] Relax, I know you want this.

[Begging] Stop, I want to go home.

[Pleading] I want to go home.

- Leave me! - I know you want this, Amal.

- [Begging desperately] Leave me, please. - I will change your situation for you.

Do not be afraid.

[Silence and tone end]

[Noise of people talking]

[man shouting]

You are married, aren't you?

[in French] Excellent.

- I can explain everything... - What will you explain?

There are brothels for this.

[Officer] Are you going to confess to the incident or not?

In fact, I was in the hotel bar...

And she threw herself at me, that's all that happened.

[whispers in shock] What?

he is lying!

They caught you red handed.

Marital infidelity and an indecent act in public.

Will you admit the incident or not?

Don't waste my time.

I went out to take a taxi.

[yelling] What are you saying? Which taxi are you talking about?

I wanted to go to the crossroads but he refused...

- He told me to get into his car... - I never said that.

I don't know you!

Shut up!

- whats your problem? - Shut up, damn it!

- [Shouting] Go and throw yourself at someone other than me! - Be quiet!

- I told you to be quiet! - [Office phone rings]

[Officer] Hello.

[Her lips move without sound]

[sighs tearfully]

[Officer] knew.

[Officer] Can I explain to you what happened, sir?

Good.

Take her fingerprints.

[Officer] Get up.

he is lying.

[Her voice breaks] He's lying, I swear!

[Crying] He's lying!

I swear he's lying, how cruel you are!

[Officer] Come on.

[Officer] Put your hand down.

[Officer] Press hard.

- [The door opens] - [They stop whispering]

[Officer] Do you admit to the incident?

You say!

I did not do anything.

He was the one who assaulted me.

- [The man laughs sarcastically] - I swear on my son's life that I did nothing.

Listen, Mr. Naguib.

I am a respectable man.

Like I told you, she was the one who threw herself at me in the hotel bar.

I swear to you he's lying.

This is a friend of my boss.

[Officer] Continue your speech, Mr. Imad.

I paid her 150 dinars.

Three 50 bills, you'll find them in her wallet.

What?

[Screaming] How impudent you are!

How rude you are!

- [Officer] Shut up! - How insolent you are!

- [Officer] Shut up! - [Shouting] Liar!

- [Officer] Give me the bag! - [Shouting] Liar!

["Amal"] Do you think you'll get away with your lies...

And your friends?

I will sue all of you!

You will see what I will do!

Who are you going to sue, you slut? Will you sue me?

Do you want to sue the police?

I will make you pay dearly for this.

I swear on my son's life that I did nothing.

I know him well, I swear.

[Officer] How do you know him? Since when?

[Officer] Speak up!

This morning…

He came to the factory...

He's a friend of my boss.

I promised...

He will help me with a personal matter.

You know him well since you met him this morning?

[Officer] Case closed.

Mrs. Amal Majri...

You are accused of adultery and indecent assault.

Tomorrow you will appear before the public prosecutor, who is the decision maker.

As for you, Mr. Imad...

We will release you until further notice.

["Imad"] is still my lawyer here.

I agree with what the law rules.

[Officer] Take it!

Release?

- Will he be released? - let it out.

- What? - let it out!

- Release? - [Officer] Here you go!

[screaming] Dogs!

- Dogs! - [Officer] Get her out of here!

- How cruel you are! - [Officer] Get out!

[Screaming] Leave me!

Leave me!

- Release? - [Officer] Get her out!

- Will he be released? - get out from here!

- Release! - [Officer] took it out.

-You dirty dogs! - Get out, you slut!

I'll show you!

- Release! - Get out!

Where are you going, boy?

I want to see my mother, her name is Amal Majri.

Show me your card.

I am [in French] a minor.

[in French] A minor? [in Arabic] You can't see it, go home.

Please sir, I want to see my mother.

Please.

Well, wait here.

Your mother is detained in a case of adultery and prostitution.

You can't see it, get out of here.

-Adultery? I want to see my mom! - Get the hell out of here.

I want to see my mom!

Stay away! Or do you want to go to prison with your immoral mother?

["Ali"] Forgive us, sir.

Your mother is a slut.

[Policeman] What did you say, you filth?

do not touch me!

[They fight]

["Ali"] We're sorry, sir!

["Ali"] It's okay, sir!

["Believer"] My father.

What are you waiting for mom to get out of prison?

- what are you doing here? - Please, father.

Ali's sister is studying law...

She told me that you have to go to the center to drop the lawsuit...

In the case of adultery.

- To get my mother out of prison. - Then let Ali's sister take her out.

- Please, Dad! - [Moamen kisses his hand]

- Please, father. - [Shouting "Taher"] Get away from me, you annoying person!

Are you going to finish the beer and call me "Hossam"?

I hate you! You are heartless!

come with me!

- Leave me! - Come with me now.

["Tahir"] Leave me!

- ["Believer"] Come with me now! - ["Tahir"] I will hit you!

[Man] Stop, Momin.

Go home, O believer.

[Man] Sit down, Taher.

[distant quarrel]

[Man] Your addiction to alcohol caused the death of your son!

[Man] You're the reason!

Leave me!

Now I'm a man?

Foolish!

Momen did not attend training last week, and then he shows up today and plays?

I'm the team leader here.

Thanks to me, you reached the semi-finals!

- Who do you think you are? - whats your problem?

You are my problem!

[Players shout to break up the fight]

[Player shouts] Do you think you're a star?

[Player] Do you think you're better than us?

[Players shout to break up the fight]

[Player shouts] He refused to renew the contract!

[Coach] Stop!

[Coach] Get out!

I want to play because I'm the best player, you bastard.

You want to play because the guy who fucked your mom sent someone to watch.

[Young voice] Stop, “Moamen”!

[Successive violent blows]

[Moamen sighs violently]

[Muffled sound of players shouting in the back]

[Man] You should thank God that you are still [in French] a minor.

[Distant voice of man 2] He doesn't remember anything.

[distant man's voice] He's got his eye out.

[Moamen's loud breath]

We should talk to the boy's family.

We must convince them to waive the record.

[Unclear conversation between the two men]

[Moamen's loud breath]

The coach talked to them, we'll see.

You have assumed your responsibility before the Chief of Investigation.

You will stay with me until your session time.

I want to see my mother.

You can't see it.

I was transferred to Manouba prison.

Where is "believer"?

I haven't seen him for a long time and he doesn't attend practice anymore.

Where could he be?

I don't know.

[Sound of a car coming]

[The car approaches "Amal"]

[The car stops and its doors quickly open]

[sound of rushing footsteps]

[in a low voice] Don't make a fuss.

- [Brother shouts] Don't scream! Get in the car! - [Amal screams] Leave me!

Sit down.

I said sit down!

Sit down.

- What do you want from me? - [Brother] What do we want?

I did what couldn't be done.

And I paid the price.

Now I want to go back home.

Ever since I married that drunkard...

The family did not have a good day.

Look at yourself, God is punishing you.

And your eldest son was taken from you.

How dare you say this?

That was God's will.

He took Hossam.

If family matters really matter to you...

If you feel us...

You would not have given up on “Momin”.

[Brother] Your son, like his father, hates our family.

A group of thieves.

You'll stay with us until you get a divorce, okay?

This is my life, I will live it however I want.

[sound of rushing footsteps]

[Sound of climbing stairs]

Leave me!

Where is the man who was here?

[Woman] Who? There are no men here!

There is nobody here!

[Woman] See for yourself! Do not You Believe Me?

Do you see any man?

[Man] Tell me the truth, Amal!

Who was the man here?

I didn't see any man.

Good.

Listen, if I see you with a guy in my hotel...

I won't call Moses, I'll call the police!

[Shouting] Okay, call the police! Am I a prostitute?

There are no men here!

May God save us from this pit!

I'm tired of this nonsense!

Men, do you see any men here?

[Woman] May God save me!

Do you want a cigarette?

Thanks.

[Woman] Are you comfortable here?

This is what I can pay for now.

It's true that Mokhtar is very annoying...

But he fears for us.

The important thing is not to come back late.

Do not bring men home with you.

[Laugh] Men? This is the last thing I need.

[high steps]

- [Woman] Here he is, the best manager in the world. - [Man] What do you want?

[Continuing] This is Amal, my friend and neighbor...

And my relative from afar.

She is looking for work.

Have you worked in a nightclub before?

I am a quick learner.

You will be in training for a week.

If you like your work, you will stay with us.

Take her under your wing and show her how things work around here.

Keep your eye on it.

Thanks manager, you are the best.

Come on, honey.

[loud songs]

What did [in French] table 32 ask for?

What did [in French] table 32 ask for? "vodka"?

No, he asked for the gin.

What are you looking at?

[Songs and applause]

["Amal"] I didn't know nightclubs were that profitable.

Moses must be careful and hide all that money.

No one would dare touch his money. He worked in the Interior Ministry during the days of Ben Ali.

- I do not believe you. -You are so naive.

- this is the truth. -But he's a nice guy.

[A woman calls] “Moses!”

[Friend] Wait a minute, ma'am.

[High hurried steps]

- [Girlfriend] Director! - ["Moses"] Yes?

The lady is here.

- ["Moses"] What? - [Friend] The lady is here.

Don't do this to me again!

I was stuck in traffic for an hour.

- [Woman] You have to pay the rent! - ["Moses"] Here you go, the money.

- ["Moses"] Stop screaming. - [Woman] Don't delay them.

[Her lips move without sound]

["Moses"] What are you looking at? Back to work.
