They're good people,
it's been four years.

Skip them again,
maybe they won't adopt anymore.

A couple is a couple.
They're all the same.

Sorry, I'm late.

Can I give my opinion?

Beside the attention it will heap on us,

let me remind you,
our mission for the administration,

is to protect the best interests
of the child.

Exactly! Not to do experiments.

What experiments?

We know our work.

Explain what experiments mean?

It's the first time,

so it's called an experiment.

Claire's right.

Thanks a lot.

Where have you seen that?

- Please.
- I'm sorry.

Quiet!

What is all this noise?

It's them.

- Are you done, Claire?
- Yes.

Good.

I think we all agree,

we work for the child's interest.

I'll present the Aloka case
to the next board meeting.

That's all. Thank you.

Just start from the start!

Thank you, Charles.

The board will decide.

Yes, I know.

If they agree,
please check up peacefully,

like with any other family.

Yes, who do you think I am?

Everything's going to be OK.

Married!

Prune!
How are you?

Just a little drink.

Fine.

It's for a toast,
I'm respecting the local custom.

Honestly,
I would have preferred a grandson

than a flower shop.

Mom!

- Do you like it?
- Great! Awesome.

I didn't say I forgave you.
It's too easy.

I've been eating alone for six months.

Date a lawyer, it'll keep you busy.

I thought flowers made people kind.

I am kind.

How's it going big guy?
Put it here.

One. Two. Three!

One. Two. Three!

Flowers

HE HAS YOUR EYES

Don't sleep.

Come on.

I don't understand,
I drank three glasses.

Three?

Maybe 5, don't know.
I can't remember.

What can I say?
You're too old to keep up.

Damn.

Leave it, you're late. I'll do it.

I'll finish cleaning up.
Meet me after?

Don't forget the guy
for the bathroom.

I can do it.
It's going to cost a fortune.

In two years?

Well, OK.

- I love you, darling.
- Love you too, Booboo.

Stop calling me, Booboo.

Hello?

Yes?

You scared me, Booboo.

What's wrong?

I just got a call. It was them.

Who's them?

Them.

It was them?

Yes.

- How do I look?
- You're perfect.

Mr. & Mrs. Aloka?

Mr. Vidal will see you.
This way, please.

Everything will be OK.

Like I said on the phone,

the board has decided
to assign you a baby,

with adoption pending.

Anonymous birth four months ago.

He had hepatitis

but he is in perfect health today.

His name is Benjamin.

Benjamin.

Sorry, I'm late.

Claire.

This is Claire Mallet.

The social worker
who will follow this case.

Until the granting
of a permanent adoption.

- Did I miss anything?
- No, I was introducing Benjamin.

Please continue.

Well,

we are faced
with a rather particular case.

To be honest, this is the first time.

You remember,

on the approval form,

you gave your wishes,

the origin of the child, etc.

You were open minded.

Yes?

We've taken it into account.

Have you changed your mind?
You can.

It's your right.

If you have any doubts
you must tell us.

We can love all the world's children,
but not be the parents of just anyone.

Well, of course we'll tell you.

Good.

Great. In that case,

I'll introduce you to Benjamin.

You can take some time to think.

But...

But?

It's a boy?

Yes. Benjamin.

Well, yes. Benjamin.
Yes, it's a boy's name.

He's so beautiful!

Thank you very much.

Here we go.

Crazy, right?

Are you sure it's not a problem?

What does this child need?

A dad and a mom.

Yeah. But, well...

Still...

Here. Look.

He has your eyes, don't you think?

Benjamin Aloka.

He could be a conductor.

It's an old person's job.

- A football player, that's good!
- No way.

Oh, the door!

They always hurt themselves.
I don't want to worry.

Nonsense.

- He could be a reporter.
- A reporter.

At least reporters can change the world.

No, we change the world.

The first Benetton family, that's us.
The "I had a dream", it's us.

I'll finish here,
then throw a big party.

Really?

- And a surgeon?
- A surgeon is good!

Dr. Benjamin Aloka is needed
in the operating room,

Dr. Aloka.

He'll save lives, travel the world,
give talks about love.

You know what?
Maybe we'll be his example.

How about doing his bedroom?

Yeah. You're right.

We can't raise a professor in that mess.

Let's get to work!

I'll make him a palace.

- A palace, you don't say?
- Yeah, a palace.

Stop laughing, give me a hand.

I love you.

Benjamin. Welcome.

Hey, baby.

Hey, baby.

Benjamin.

Baby boy.

How are you?

I think it's time to take him.

Right, Benjamin?

Yeah, you'd like that?
See?

He seems to agree.

Come with me?

Come here.

Oh my.

Hold him a little?

Come here.

Benjamin is in excellent health.

He just has a little trouble feeding.

So, if you have a problem,
don't hesitate, let us know.

That's what we're here for.

Children are cruel in school.

Imagine the boy says,
"Here come my parents".

Everyone looks, it's a black couple!

No, Afro-American, Claire.

It's the same.

Well then, why don't you say
Afro-American.

We say Caucasian, not white.

Stop it! When I met you,
you were saying "my nig".

Never. Maybe in some other context.
Another context, Claire. OK.

You're hypocritical.
It's so irritating.

No. I'm not.
You're the one.

I'm the one?

You're... It's you, Claire, you know it.

What?

Caucasians adopt Afro-Americans.
That's not a problem.

Baptiste, really!
People are used to it that way.

Isn't it time
to make a change in mentality?

Do you know what my work is about?

We take care of children,
finding them a proper family.

Not changing mentalities.
What is that?

Thank goodness, others do it for you.

Or else I would have a slave,

you'd have no right to vote,
sign checks...

- You're making a list?
- If you want.

Why am I talking to you?

Because I'm white.

Stop it.

Six months left before adoption.

And I'm going to follow this case
very closely.

Goodnight.

Claire?

Yes?

I was reading.

Open kitchen. You see?
No supporting wall.

So what do I do?
A big hole and we're good.

But Booboo...

Don't change a thing.

What do I have to do?

Benjamin, the bath.

With your arm in the back to be secure.

You see, we're good here.

Thank you.

What? My parents?
No, I haven't told them yet.

What do we say?

Thank you.

Bye.

OK, let's go.

Here's the little bib.

Yeah, a bib. I'm a dad!

- Bye, kids!
- Bye, singers!

Goodbye.

- Bye, buddy!
- Bye!

Bye!

Well, here we are.

This is a memory for him,
of his first weeks with us.

OK.

It's important for when he's grown up.

When you're grown up!

You finish all those bottles
at home, OK?

- You'll visit us?
- Yes. Promise.

Promise.

- Let's go?
- Come on.

I'll give you a kiss.

Say goodbye.

Thank you.

- He smiled a little?
- Yes.

- So, it's the big day?
- Yes.

Here's Benjamin.

Good.

Good.

So, like we've said,
I'll be visiting you at home,

to see that it's going well.

Of course.

Next week?
Would that work for you?

Tuesday is good for me.

- OK?
- Yeah. Yes, OK.

So, good!

Bye. See you Tuesday.

Say goodbye.

He's tired.

Good. Well, bye, Mrs. Aloka.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.
Thank you very much, Mrs. Mallet.

Thanks for everything.

It's good.

There.

Goodbye.

What did I do again?

Nothing.

Gently.

Come on, baby.

Isn't my son great?

He seems to like his new home,
that's cool.

He hasn't seen anything yet.
After I get going...

Yeah, well, don't brag!

Just make it happen.
The social worker can't see this.

- Don't worry.
- It's no good for us.

I said don't worry.

She seemed a bit weird earlier?

Well, no. Why?

Never mind.

I spoke with my mom.

I told her we'd stop by on Saturday.

Great.

Did you tell them?

No, not yet.

I prefer face to face.

Yeah, you're right.

Face to face is better.

You think I should have told her?

I don't know.

You think it's better?

I don't know, I'm asking you.

I don't know.

She told me noon.
It's already past ten.

Ousmane, you think I made enough?
We think there's enough and after...

I should have made Mafé .

My grandson!

- Hi, Mom.
- We were starting to worry.

Where's my grandson?

He's with the car...
I mean Paul's parking...

- Is Dad here?
- Why isn't he with you?

Hi, Dad.

- Why isn't he with you?
- Hello, my dear.

Sali, where are they?

They're coming, Mom.

They're coming up.

So...

Well, I need to tell you something.

It's about the...

Baby.

They gave you a sick one?

Ousmane, I was right to worry.

No, Mom, the baby's fine.

So?
They gave you a Congolese?

I told you no Congolese.

- Always a problem. Right, Ousmane?
- I never said that.

Say my dear Lamine isn't a Congolese.

Lamine?

That's his name, right?

His name is Benjamin, Mom!

You've got to change it.

- I'm not changing...
- He's name is Lamine.

Lamine, like Ousmane's father,

Like Ousmane's great grandfather.

- It's tradition.
- Tradition itself, Sali!

Why isn't Dad's name Lamine?

It was back home,
immigration mistake.

Tradition is tradition.
It's not up for debate.

His name is Lamine.

Or else, Ousmane.

Not Benyamine.

Benjamin not Benyamine.

Benjamin!

Isn't that Jewish?

Dad, Mom, can you listen for two seconds?

So, Benjamin...

My grandson!

Sali, my grandson.

Mom.

Hello!

What's that?

I think we're early.

Mom, this is Benjamin.

Oh! It's my...

It's my...

Mom!

Here we go.

Are you sure it's not a mistake?

- Yeah. Sure.
- Well, yes.

Sometimes they make mistakes
with babies.

With all the computers today,
twitters...

It's an adoption.
They proposed, we accepted.

You accepted it?

Well, yes.

Oh yeah.

He can't be named Lamine.

Neither Ousmane.

Do you want to hold Benjamin?

In your arms?

I'm needed in the kitchen.

I need myself, I mean...

I should have cooked a veal stew.

Here.

Come here, my baby.

It went well.

It takes time.

- It could have been worse, no?
- Excuse me.

They'll beg us for him to go Africa
to see his cousins.

In Senegal.

Benyamine!
Where does that come from?

How could she do that to us?

I'd prefer a Congolese.

What are we going to do?

This is nonsense.

Hey!

You knew!

You met the baby.

Why didn't you tell us?

- I don't see the problem.
- You don't see it?

She doesn't see the problem.

That child will never be my grandson.

François Hollande.

What did he say?

Due to a strike action,
we are unable to broadcast.

Please excuse us.

Let's go.

Not hungry anymore?

Doesn't matter.
You ate well.

Congratulations, my love...

Please do a nice burp for mommy.

A nice...

That was a good one.

Yes? And what else?

Yes, hello?

Hello, it's Mrs. Mallet from DSS.

Yes. Hello.

How's Benjamin?

He's very well.

Good.

So, I wanted to tell you,

I have a problem for tomorrow night.

Could I come tonight instead?

Would 6:30 pm work for you?

Yes, fine.

Good. Thank you.
I apologize.

See you tonight!

Don't let me down on this one.

Don't worry. I won't, buddy.

Valentine's Day is in two months.

- I'll pick them up the day before?
- Of course, whenever you want.

You seem tired for a guy
who just opened.

That's because...

What?

I'm a dad.

- I can't believe it.
- Yeah.

Congratulations, buddy.

- Join the club.
- Well, thanks.

Were you at the birth?

- No...
- Well, yeah, you're right.

When you see the thing,
with all that stuff oozing out.

After that, zero sexual drive.

Put your joint behind your ear,
won't be smoking it any time soon.

I have two teenagers...

A gift for your first born.

I won't sell them.

Kiss his little blond head for me.

What?

Kiss his little blond head for me.

Yeah.

Did you get it?

Yeah, I did,
but it's exactly that.

Really?

- Bye.
- What?

I'll do it.

Funny guy, making me believe...

- You have a gift. Hear that, Benjamin?
- Surprise.

- I love it.
- I'm happy.

- It's from a fair trade store nearby.
- So cute.

Let's see?
He's already putting it on.

You're the handsomest.

Here girls, some macaroons.

- It's on me.
- Thanks!

He's so cute.

What's his name?

Benjamin.

Boy, he has your eyes.

Thanks.

He's cute, no? He's super cute!

You never stop, do you?

- I spoke with them.
- Who?

My friends with the Ethiopian baby.

You have to meet them.

No. "Adopters Anonymous",
sharing experience. It's not my thing.

They can give you lots of advice.

- I don't want it, Prune.
- As you like.

I need to change his diaper.

Can I do it?

Please.

So you can have a rest.

Trust me. I need to practice.

Maybe I'm next, who knows.

I'm happy. Come on, little baby.

Be careful.

Come with auntie Prune.

The diaper?

Oh yes!

Thank you very much.

Where are the toilets?

So, the parents?

They're fine.

They're over and over about Benjamin?

A little bit.

You know Mom,
Comedia dell'arte all day long.

It was the same thing for Paul,
they got over it.

And Dad?

Dad...

When we arrived in France,

it was to work, right?

It wasn't to adopt white babies.

What is that?

I'm going to change you, somewhere.

There. The changing table.

Now, I take... Fuck...
Take this off first.

If I don't,
I can't put the diaper on.

It stinks.

What are they feeding you?
Fuck.

How do I take off this thing?

Take it off.
Fucking disgusting.

What do I do with this shit?

There.

A diaper.

Well, you see, good.

Yes, it's good.

Fuck, he's peeing on me.

Fuck. Never do that again.

Come on!

You don't have children?

I can't believe it.

People don't know
what it's like to have kids.

Are you for real?

Let me go. I'm OK.

Fuck. I'm exhausted.

Look how she put it on.

Are you for real?

It's a skilled job,
I'm not ready.

The bodysuit goes under.

Nice, OK.

Come on, we can do it.

- Everything ready?
- Yeah, perfect.

Paul!

Don't talk about my parents, OK?

- They know how families...
- Please, Paul.

OK, fine.

Calm down, it's not a test.

Come on.

It's going to be OK.

I'm coming, Mrs. Mallet.

I'm coming.

Hello.

Come in, please.

Come on in.

Watch your feet.

It's upstairs.

Be careful.

- Looks like lots of work.
- I'm a bit late.

I can see.

Hello, Mrs. Mallet.

Hello.

Your shoes.

Any progress with the feeding?

Lots of progress.
He's eating very well.

Type of childcare?

Daycare.
We should get a spot in September.

Good.
Meanwhile?

I'm staying with him.

It's not a problem with the new store?

No. If I need to,
I can get someone to help.

It's easy to find help with our family.
Don't worry.

I'm not worried, Mr. Aloka.

And the five-month checkup?

Yeah. Like for cars?

No.

I don't understand.

Well, like car checkup, I mean.

It was a joke, never mind.

No, the five-month checkup
with the pediatrician.

Our appointment is next week.

Good.

And your entourage?

Great.

Really?

They were surprised at first,
but that's normal.

Who wouldn't be?

According to our surveys,
with mixed adoptions,

the families have trouble
accepting the child.

And you, none?

- Well, no.
- No.

Well, good then.

You are an exception.

Your parents are very understanding.

They are very understanding.

And Paul, well,

I saw that you no longer have
your parents, so no questions asked.

No.

No questions asked.

Good.

So, thank you.

- Goodbye, Benjamin.
- Say goodbye.

See you next week?

Comparing Benjamin to a car,
really?

She sounded like a car checkup.

I don't like that woman.

The way she talks to us,
I don't like it all.

Why is this in the kitchen?
It doesn't belong here.

Don't worry about the house.
I called Manu.

Manu?

Yes. He's at his mom's.

He went crazy on Benjamin.

Yeah, well, Manu.

Then don't complain.

In that case, you handle him.

- Come here, my love.
- I didn't feed him today.

OK.

Mom!

My dear, here.
You arrive like a blessing.

Couldn't have done it without you.
Hold this. Good.

- Where are you going?
- To the mosque.

You to the mosque?

Yes. I saw the Dr. Kimba.

He said to bring white food,
to help the little one find his family.

What is that bullshit?

Who's bullshit?
Are you talking to me?

You really think if you bring food
to the mosque,

those people are going to think,
"How about getting our child back"?

Pray so he'll become black.

Don't be disrespectful.

I'm doing something for my grandson.

- So, he's your grandson now?
- That's enough.

You know what I mean.

I'm taking care of the problem.
What are you doing?

You find this situation normal?

This is nonsense.

That's my boy, Manu!

Daddy!

Well, yeah.

Daddy.

- Look at me. You OK?
- Yeah.

Come on in.

- Where's the mom?
- She's here.

With the baby, finishing the coat.

You're beautiful. So beautiful.

You're a mom now,
you're beautiful, more than ever.

She's always been the most beautiful.

Let me introduce the most handsome,
Benjamin.

You've done really good.

- We do what we can.
- No, but really.

You really pulled it off.

Hey, it's uncle Manu.

I brought you something from Bamako.

Oh my.

- Gently, Manu.
- Be careful.

You smell good. I know.
Wanna do the plane?

No. Manu.

Don't worry. It's OK.

Uncle Manu's the pilot.

No need to worry.
You've got Sophie the Girafe.

You're so lucky.
You'll have fun with Sophie.

I would have loved to have her too.

Don't worry. No need to worry.
We're all adopted.

- Well, Manu.
- Weren't you supposed to help Paul?

Sorry, we really have to go.

Come here, baby boy.

His Girafe. Sophie's here.

Coffee?

Yeah. I'd love a beer.

Have a nice day.

Yeah. Bye. Have a nice day.

Thank you very much. Goodbye.

- So, Benjamin?
- Yes. That's us.

- Hi. That's my little new one?
- Yes.

He's cute.

His mother couldn't come?

It's an adoption.

Yes, but the mother?

I'm the mother.

Yes.

Right.

No because, actually,
I thought you...

Yes, right, OK.
Now it's clear.

So, you're the mother.

Yes, now it's clear.

I don't know... I'm sorry.

It's because he's really cute
and you too.

Let's go.

It's at the end of the hall.
On your right.

And who's next?

That would be us.

Great.

Great.

You never wanted to start a family?

- You're my family.
- Seriously.

Well, yes.
When I grow up.

But one thing,
what are the social workers smoking?

Very funny.
First of all it's called DSS.

The tradition is a black baby
to white people.

It's Christmas for him, you know?

Sometimes I wonder how we got there.

I have a very simple theory.
It's called "Change".

- Change?
- Change, my friend.

Before you had Mom and Dad.

Today you have Dad-Dad, Mom-Mom.

Yeah, man.

What's your point?

Take a blended family for example.

The kids go to Dad's,
they go to Mom's.

You're looking for your room.

The kids with their tablets.

Well, Internet goes fast.

That's why they end up giving
white babies to black people.

Cause of the tablets?

No. Things change.

Fuck.
Are you listening to me?

Not anymore.

Well, you should listen or else,

you won't get what's going to happen.

Hello sister. What's up?

- Hello.
- Nice sunshine?

This one's really cute.

Hello, you.

So, you only have one?

Well, yes.

I can find you two or three babies.

You'll have to pay me a fee,
understand?

Oh my, you're new.

Here's my card.
Call me whenever you want.

We're going to do business together.

He's beautiful. What's his name?

Benjamin.
I'm not the babysitter.

I ain't no babysitter.

I'm a child-minder.

I'm his mother.

His mother. That's a good one.

Really! His mother.

She thought I was a cop or what?

Girls!
You know what she said?

Hey Booboo,

He likes his bedroom.

And that's good news for us.

I was mistaken for a babysitter today.

- What?
- Twice.

I was mistaken for a babysitter.

What did you expect,

to be mistaken for the snow queen?

Of course you're the babysitter.

I'm a supermarket clerk.

Your dad's a sweeper.
Your mom's a cleaning lady.

And I forgot your sister.
You know what?

She sells drugs outside schools.
Yo bro.

You're stupid.

Can I go back?

Yes.

Thanks, Booboo.

Don't call me, Booboo! Stop it!

- Did I scare you?
- A little.

I didn't mean to.
I scared you.

No, it's... I was in my head.

Closing, I'm a little...
Wasn't our appointment tomorrow?

Yes, but...

Something came up.

Didn't you get my message?

- Well, No.
- Damn.

- If it's a problem...
- No, it's OK. Now that you're here.

I'll just close.

Well, it's this way.

Good.

Flowers are good.

Fuck. Bertier is annoying.
He's pissing me off.

With all his crappy cases,
I'm fucking fed up.

Pissed off with everyone.
It's worse each day.

What about you?
Your life as a mom?

It's OK.

It's just OK?

You have baby blues?

Baby blues is when you give birth.

So what?
It's your right to have the baby blues.

You know what you need?
A weekend in Normandy.

The baby would see the sea.

No, too complicated.

It's not complicated.
Don't say it and it won't.

If I say it's complicated, it is, OK?

Anyways got to go, call you back.

She's pissing me off too.

Booboo?

We have a visitor.

It's me.

Good evening.

Good evening.

There we are.

- He's cute.
- Yes, he's...

He's an angel.

Great.

And your parents?

Great.

Still great.

I can't wait to meet them.

It might be complicated,
I think, with them, now...

Really? Why?

They're in Senegal.
Right?

Yes.

Yeah. It's for a wake.

A wake, yes.

It's a big, big wake.

It's complicated there, right?

It's not easy there.

The sickness, the heat...

Yeah, that's tough.
Tough country.

With a family, it could be a bloodshed.

When it's not a war.

There's lots of war,
tribes fighting, right?

Female circumcision.

Yes, there's female circumcision.

Anyways, your family's OK?

Yes. They're just having a quick stay.

Great!
I'll see them when they're back.

Yeah.

It's loud, what is it?

It's a worker I hired

to finish the house. That's...

He'll break your home.

- He'll wake up the baby.
- I'll go.

- Excuse me, Mrs. Mallet.
- Go see.

Careful. I'm knocking it down.

- The social worker is here!
- It's called DSS.

This is not the time. OK?

We say DSS, cause DSS is behind you.

Excuse me. Sorry.

OK, noise?
Noise up there? Baby, quiet?

You shouldn't have bothered.
I was telling...

Zlatan!

Zlatan...

He's going home. Right, Zlatan?

Thank you, boss.
Multumesc !

Yeah, right, multumesc to you.

Well, Zlatan,

it's time to go, right?

French now.
Boss not understand. Mad, normal.

He gets mad a lot?

Boss nice. OK.
Nice family. Very nice wife.

Well, yes. Of course.

He's right to ask.

To ask?

Declare his fee.

We'll finish next time?

And Mrs. Aloka,
I can't wait to meet your parents.

As soon as they come back.

Promise.

I'll walk you out.

Yeah, walk her out.

You must declare him.
It's the law.

Are you stupid or what?

It's just fruit.

What did you say to Mrs. Mallet?

Nothing, she's nice.

She's got a great Romanian accent?
A bit literary.

You speak Romanian now?

- Well, yeah.
- Just eat your fruit.

I swear, you screwed up.

It's important for us.

You know, I did it for you.

If she says we employ illegally,
we lose everything.

The store, the baby.

It's important that you declare me.

- What?
- No, I can't take it anymore.

Why are you all upset?

You have the kid, right?

No, he is placed here.

Until the definite decision in six months.

- I didn't know.
- You're pissing me off.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know that DSS
did fixed-term contracts.

Giving is giving, right?

Don't smoke in the house!

Can't smoke, can't drink.

Take a shower for a change.

I'll take a shower.

They're lying to me.

You know how it goes.

They're afraid we'll judge them.

Or they overdo it.
Win their trust. That's all.

- You're teaching me my job?
- Not at all.

They trust me. I don't trust them.

I need a new method.

I know this case means a lot to you,

but be objective.

I am, Charles.

Come on Perez, here we go again!

Nice sunshine.
You want to know the temperature?

Seven degrees.

Want to know your horoscope?

Youre Gemini, right?

"Love: you may have
a naughty love affair."

They're good.

- Already at work?
- Yeah.

- Sleep well?
- Yeah, great.

Where's my baby?

Sleeping.

No more coffee.

Make some yourself.

Here.

There's an idea here.

He cried last night?

Yes. He woke up at 3am, 5am and 7am.

Sorry, didn't hear a thing.

I noticed that.

I'm tired too, OK? The store, home...
It's not my fault.

It's never your fault.

Tell him to stop.

Fine. Have a nice day.

I'll have coffee at the store.

Sorry, my love.

I'm tired. Don't be mad.

Never mind.

We need some time together.

A weekend break.

Yeah.

We need a break.

Have a good day too.

Don't mess with me, she's really single?

I'm not a one night stand guy!

Or like crazy Internet people.

I want something meaningful.

Hey!

- Is that her?
- Yeah, that's Prune.

Come on!

Prune's so excited.

- Hey, Prune. How are you?
- And you?

Nice place.

- Hello. Hi, Prune.
- Manu.

Manu, Prune.
Prune, Manu.

- This is for you.
- Thank you.

- Booboo, a diaper, please?
- I'm coming.

Let's go for a swim.

No. The pool isn't heated.

Warrior, baby.

No!

I can't believe it.
No, he's not going to.

Manu's capable of anything.

Fuck!

- Wait.
- He did it!

I cut that off and a miniskirt. Stylish.

You don't know the American style?

You know, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna.

That's their fashion.

- I'm telling you.
- Look.

Is that old loincloths from our country,
what is that!

And your daughter's problems?

Nothing's working, not even Dr. Kimba.

Forget Kimba.

I've got contacts back home.

My sister gave birth.
It's her 7th baby.

She has money problems,
but I'll give you the baby.

No, you know my daughter,
she won't accept.

Even me...

I'm your friend, I'm here for you.

Who's disturbing?

Good. There's someone.

That depends on why?

- First of all, hello.
- Hello.

My name is Mrs. Mallet,

I work for the DSS,
Department of Social Services.

I'm in charge of Benjamin's case.

- How are you?
- Fine and you?

- So?
- So...

Could I speak with you five minutes?

Yes.

Are you Salimata Aloka's mother?

Yes. Come on in.

Thank you.

First of all, I'm sorry for your loss.

- What?
- Yes, I heard. I know.

Your daughter told me.
The wake in Africa.

I know, the grief.

So be brave. There are no words.
Courage.

Isn't this great?

- You like it here?
- I do, man.

First time?
Right, Daddy.

So cute, look at him.

He looks at you and you melt away.

Ill take him. Go see your friend.

Hey, Polo!

I'm coming!

Daddy's going to fly the kite.

I'm coming!

Come on. Give me a light.

- Come on!
- Stop!

I haven't slept like this in a while.

You needed to.

What's tonight's menu, girls?

- Already hungry?
- Yeah. Need some help?

Don't worry. Trust us.

I love cooking.

Really? Go ahead.

Fuck, great.

Once in Chile,
I made 200 empanadas for a funeral.

What? Empanadas are really good.

Have a blast, sea bass in the fridge.

Sea bass is the king of fish.

Manu knows how to cook.

Got some spices?

Lots of spices.
They're here.

Stupid fishmonger cut the head off.

- Who's that?
- You'll see.

Hey!

- What's wrong?
- Why didn't you tell me?

You wouldn't have come.

Hey!

Come on in. Give me your bags.

Where did you put the pajamas?

Hello.

Well, hello.

If no one tells a joke,
there's a problem.

Yeah, they really smoked at DSS.

This is Paul.

And Benjamin!

We worked so hard.
We put a lot of colors.

What do you think?

- About what?
- Adoption.

I think it's great.

No, what I mean is,
if you wanted children,

wouldn't you prefer natural birth?

What are you talking about exactly?

- What?
- The biological clock.

Tick-tock.

What's tick-tock?

If you need me, I'm here.

Want to fuck, forget the baby talk.

Well, I know.

I thought it was classy.

Goodnight, my love.

Goodnight.

What language is that?

Norwegian. My mom's from Norway.

Alright.

Where are you from?

Créteil. Val de Marne.

You and I know the truth.

You're talking shit since 20 minutes.

Why?

You said we have to have kids.

He didn't say that.

A couple,
the shopping cart, the stroller...

We don't have to...

It's a Judeo-Christian vision.

No, this guy is full of it.

Not always.
Sometimes... We don't know...

What about you guys?

We're OK, but my parents
haven't talked to us since two months.

How nice.

Single people adopt.

There's nothing conservative,

Judeo-Christian, or I don't know what.

Quiet, Manu.

All I hear is you.

- Kids sleep with noise.
- You're ready for kids.

- Did he make his cake?
- Yes, don't you smell the chocolate?

Wait. I'll take that off.

Ready in two minutes.

Damn it. Oh Fuck!

How did things go with the DSS?

It went OK.

I was nervous before each visit.

I can relate to that.

It's like taking a test each time.

Except that your child is at stake.

They rarely take back the child.

The social worker
makes me feel uncomfortable.

Feels like trial. And it's once a week.

- Once a week?
- Was it that much for us?

Never.
It was two or three times in six months.

What did I tell you?

Don't let her get away with it.

Women like that...

Here's desert.

It's handmade.
I mean, it's home-made.

It's beautiful.

So Prune, shall I serve you?

- No.
- Why?

- Prune! The cake!
- I'm not hungry.

- Stop with your diets!
- I'm not hungry.

I made it for you.

Smells weird. Smell.

You're playing with the food.

Fuck, it sucks.

No, I'm going to smoke a joint.

Manu!

Manu! The cake!

- Give the child back!
- What?

I tried to call.

The woman social worker came.
It's a disaster.

What woman?

With the French suitcase name.

- Mallet?
- Yes.

You lied. We were never in Senegal!

What's this about female circumcision?

Ousmane's out of his mind.

What did you say to her?

I don't want my daughter in prison.

I understand you want a child.

I have a solution.
She'll tell you.

His name is Bissam,
four months old.

He's... Digba. Strong. He's a King.

He doesn't cry or poop.

Her sister's ready to do the kafalah.

- The kafa what?
- The kafalah!

Martinicans don't understand anything.

It's almost like an adoption.

There's been one in the family.

That way, no more problems.

- You realize how crazy you sound.
- I'm the crazy one?

I don't want Sali in prison.

No one's going to prison,
come with me.

She doesn't want to see me.

What about the child?
He's already on the plane.

Nothing. Just keep the store.

Sali doesn't want to see me.

She doesnt want to see her mother
anymore.

"Madam Diakite, Fashion".

I'm not wanted.

- Yes, you are.
- I doubt that.

I'm not wanted.
There's no point in me going.

We've got a problem.

- What?
- Mallet went to your mom's.

- You lied!
- Yes, well, OK, Mamita.

We're calling DSS.
She won't get away with it.

What happened?

You should have listened to me.
You have to do the kafalah.

Stop it with kafalah.

I would like to speak
with Mr. Vidal, please.

It's an emergency.

Can he call back, Mr. Aloka.

Can I count on you?
Thank you.

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

You shouldn't lie to the state.
You'll end up in prison.

You'll come.
Because the blame is partly yours.

Me?

This is ridiculous.
Either you come in or you get out.

No one invited me in.

Really?

Come hold your grandson,
and make peace with Sali.

Come on! Please, Mamita.

- Forget it, Paul.
- No. Enough of this act.

It's her grandson.

Trust me.

Come here, sweetheart.

Come see grandma.

Your sweet grandma. There.

Look, she's here. Granny.

- Take your grandson.
- It's not my grandson.

Whether you like or not,
he's family now.

Come on.

There.

You're with grandma.

I feel nothing.

Really?

I'm telling you, nothing.

No. Wait.

No, That's enough, Paul.

Come here, baby.

Happy now, Mamita?

Everything's OK.

- Eat, my love.
- Why isn't he eating?

- You took his temperature?
- Maybe its the teeth.

He has poop on his butt.

Smell! He has poop on his butt.

I smell nothing. You?

It smells poop.

I would like to see you
eat with poop on your butt.

The diapers?

Look in the bag.

Where's the bag?

Where do you change him?

In the room upstairs.

Come here, my dear.

I'll take care
of your little white butt.

With those two, you'll never make it.

What are we going to do?

Salimata! A diaper!

Here we go.

Have you lost your mind?

Checking up every week,
going to the grandparent's,

I asked you to stay objective.

They're lying about the grandparents.

It's not a good reason.

What was your next step?
Canvas the neighborhood?

Call the FBI? Interrogate them?

Anyways, this is my fault.

I should've known
you'd get carried away.

- I wasn't carried away.
- How do you call it?

Charles, they lied.
Are you listening?

No, you listen to me.

Why are we doing this?
For love, for human beings,

so a family can be built.

I warned you. It wasn't enough.

You're off the Aloka case.

Alvina dear, please set the table?

- Where were you?
- Running errands.

Don't lie. Mrs. Cisse came by,
said you had things to do.

And I'm hungry.

Don't pull your African act with me.

Be careful, Mamita.

- Respect.
- You want respect?

Continue and I'll do the housewife act.

What?

I'll ask for a divorce.

Divorce?

- Youre sure she wont come anymore?
- Yes.

I liked Mrs. Mallet.

You want her number?

Hello? Yes, Booboo.

Wasn't she coming home?

She has something to do.

Anyways, I'll pick him up around 5pm.

What about your dad?

He's out all day.

Don't worry, I'm handling it.

OK. I love you. Kiss you, darling.

It was Sali?

Don't smoke here.
Yes, it was Sali.

Who else would it be?

I don't know, with the Caribbeans.

Some days I'd like to be Caribbean.

Unbelievable.

- How are you?
- Fine.

Stop laughing. He's white.

White, white, Walai ?

Walai , brother.

Not albino?

God forbid. Lord save us.
He's blonde.

Blonde like Claude Francois?

Oh my friend,

they've lost their minds.

What can I do?

Wait. We're going to help.

Dear friends, listen up.

I've just learned shocking news.

Ousmane, just told me

that Salimata and her Martinican,

just had a white baby.

- He ate well!
- Yes, he ate well!

What a weird baby,
only eats when you sing.

Let's make him a singer.

No way, not a singer, too many problems.

Give a kiss to your Mamita.

Nice baby.

- He looks like family.
- Just like your son.

- Your photocopy!
- Photocopy, even pasted.

Selfie!

Oh yes!

Look. A picture with auntie.

Put your head inside. Come here.

Look. Coochie-coochie.

Look baby.

Ousmane!

- So what?
- Leave now. Take the baby.

I don't do babies.
I do business.

He's gonna kill me.
Hide the child.

Go, the coat, dear.

Ousmane, you're home!

The guy's here.

Bring him to your place,
I'll take care of Ousmane.

I've got business to do.

Drop him at Mrs. Cisse's.

Tell her I'll come
when the bananas are done.

What?

It's a code, she knows what it means!

The girl's mom wanted
to put cameras everywhere.

I said no.

Where are we? In a reality show...

Mine, she checks.

Here comes the star!

Keep him for an hour or two.

I have enough.

Mamita said the bananas were done.

- Really?
- The bananas are done.

OK, so...

Help me, what are you doing?

Tell me...

Mrs. intelligent with her book again.

Watch your phone.

You, there. We can't see you.
I have makeup...

Don't forget my creams.

You're elegant today.

- Elegant?
- Yes.

That's elegant?

She's pretty.

That's good.

How long have we known each other?

For over 35 years.

Since 8th grade?

No, 5th grade. I was nine.

The things you remember.

- You remember?
- Yes.

Would you be the godfather?

Hope it's not joke.
It's not funny.

It's not a joke.

Fuck. You can't ask like this!

Yes, I can.

- My mother's going to be happy.
- Yeah!

Godfather. Damn.

Damn. Fuck!

Manu!

Careful!

Don't know.

Here, my zucchini. Watch the kids.

Yes, OK.

You have a runny nose.

Hello, Ladies.

Hello, Ladies.

Are these your babies?

Of course! I worked a lot.

Especially with the red head.

Hey you.

A comic one.

You think it's funny?

We don't find it funny at all.

Your ID, please.

Excuse me?

Show me your ID, please?

Why should I do that?

Please, show your ID.

You think it's a good time?

Seriously, Sir...

Please, I won't repeat myself.

Show me your ID.

You too, please Miss.
Do you have yours?

Sir, wait...

You speak French?

Show me your ID, please.

Why ask for her ID?

I'm sorry, I'm closed.

Paul!

I called at least ten times.
Benjamin's at the police station.

What?

- Already?
- What are you saying?

I called, why didn't you pick up?

- I'm coming with you!
- No! Park the car.

And unload.

- At the station?
- I don't know, they called me.

I am the godfather!

What's going on?

They just called me.
The babysitter got arrested.

She made a scene.
She didn't know the kid's name.

- When was this?
- An hour ago!

He's not even 1,
he's already at the police station.

I can't believe it.

Maybe Claire was right.

You want to send her back.
You think she's having fun?

I know she'll go to holding camp
for foreigners!

You are giving me a headache!

Bring her down.

Don't touch me. Leave me alone!

Let's continue.

The baby,

Is he your grandson, yes or no?

He's my grandson.

So why did you say he wasn't?

I said, my daughter was in the process
of adopting him.

You're not understanding on purpose?

Who's the woman babysitting illegally?

No one is!

He doesn't understand a thing.

My colleague said
to take your deposition,

regarding a babysitter
working illegally.

Working illegally?

That's because we're black.

Drug addicts, prostitutes...

The parents are here.

- Salima!
- Save it for later.

Hello, Sir.
We are the adoptive parents.

Where is he?

Social services came by,
you need to contact DSS.

DSS?

Are you sure
we're talking about the same baby?

The one we saw was more Caucasian.

Coca what?

I'm sorry but after what happened,

we've decided to take Benjamin back.

Until the board makes a decision.

But you can ask for visitation rights.

I'm sorry.

I won't move.

Sali, please.

I won't move!

I won't move.

I've waited years for this child.

Shivering at each call,

watching my mailbox,
and you want to take that away?

Do you know how it feels to wait?

Waiting, without knowing anything.

Taking your crap without saying a word.

Are you kidding, you gave him to me.

You gave him to me.
Mrs. Mallet!

You have no right, Mrs. Mallet.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch her.

Your file is still pending.

You have no right.

He's my son!

- He's my son!
- Stop.

Don't think it makes me happy
to be right.

I don't believe.

I just wonder how we got here.

Mom's not home?

No, she went to Sali's.

Again?

They took away her son.

It wasn't her son.

Dad,

what were you thinking
when you came to France.

Excuse me?

When you came here,

you thought
you could lock us in a tower?

What are you talking about?

I always wanted the best for you.

So what are you afraid of?

Why does Sali's baby bother you?

Because, it's not natural.

Is it natural to leave your country?

To come here, knowing nobody.

With no money, no papers?

To work yourself to death,

so we can have an education?

It wasn't natural, Dad.

But you can be proud.

The world changed,

and you made that change possible.

And we'll have to accept it.

Because it's irreversible.

Come on, Benjamin,

You didn't eat.

She has no right
going to people's homes.

She has no right.

What should we do?

- Eat!
- You can't go on like this.

- You can't die like this.
- Hurting yourself forever.

God bless you.

It's OK.

Maybe they're right, maybe I...

- What?
- I don't know. Maybe I went too far.

I like it when you go too far.

I'm sad.

No improvement.

Was there feeding problems
with the Aloka's?

I don't think so.

We need to call them,
he's having a breakdown.

Even if I wanted too, legally I can't.

Until the next family council.

This baby's in danger,
so what do we do?

Claire,

our job is to find a loving family.

We're lucky enough to find one.

So do something.

Anna, I can't, I'm not allowed.

You piss me off.

Well, I'm done. I'm going to go.

Let's have a drink
and not be discouraged.

Don't worry, he'll call back.
Manu, have a drink!

I won't say no to that.

It's my first going away party.

People love when I leave.

Farewell drink!

Let's do this.

- How's Sali?
- Yes, she needs to rest.

- Did the lawyer call?
- No.

Hope you didn't pay him.

If you did, we are screwed.
You know how lawyers can be.

They take the money
and never call back.

Nonsense, he's my friend.
He's the best for this job.

You never know. Drink!

Come on, drink.

Don't lose hope.

The house is finished.

To Manu for his finished work.

To Manu.

Thanks. I'm proud of myself.
I worked hard on this.

Good work!

It's weird.

Not so long ago
we opened the store.

We had the house,

Benjamin.

And now...

I thought we would make it.

I hate seeing him like this.

Paul, listen,

you've wanted a child for a long time,

you stayed
knowing she couldn't have children.

Yeah.

I've never told you.

You're a good man.

She's very lucky to have you.

For sure.

As far as the boy goes,

he was lucky to have you.

That kid was totally lucky.

But now...

Oh my God! What did I do?

It's my fault if he has no family.

- It's my fault.
- No, Mamita.

- My sweet Lamine.
- But no...

My sweet Lamine.

My grandson!

Mamita, it's not your fault.

- No.
- It's a bit her fault.

You see, even he says it!

No, he says stupid things.

- Yes, it's her fault!
- No, Manu!

My grandson!

Have a drink.

No, Manu.

Benjamin's not eating,
he's at the hospital!

We have to go.

I'm not letting my godson
starve to death!

Let's go.

No, the lawyer said to wait.

Who gives a shit about the lawyer?

- Fuck DSS.
- Yes.

- The kid needs to eat.
- Yeah!

We have to go!

Come on, let's go!

You're right, let's go!

I'll go get his stuff.

Wait, yes! OK, let's go!

Come on, Manu!

Wait for me!

Manu!

- The car keys!
- Yes, the keys!

Hurry up!

- You have the key?
- Yes, I have it!

Come on!

Wait, Manu!

Fuck, Manu!

You have your driver's license?

I think so.

Do you have it or not?

I didn't even want to drive!

I took the last spot!

Enough talking, can we leave now?

Come on!

Go! Faster! Fuck, go!

- Speed camera!
- Where?

Grandma's here!

This way.

Are you sure?

No, this way!

There's nothing written!

Hi, we're here for Benjamin Aloka.

Like "Aloha" with a "K".

- He's not here!
- Which Benjamin?

My baby! He's over there!

- Where is he?
- There!

My baby!

Hello, my baby.

What are you doing here?

We're here to see Benjamin.

Who are you?

His family!

Well then, the parents come with me.

Thank you, Madam.

No, I said the parents!

I just want to feed my son!

- OK, wait!
- We're his parents, OK.

We came to feed him.
He isn't eating anymore.

You see, Mamita,

He's moving, he's not dead,
he's alive.

Are you a doctor?

Call security!

- Leave this child!
- We don't have time!

It sucks, they called security!
Fuck!

- What?
- Kidnapping! Call security!

- Run?
- Run!

Go, I'll cover you, guys!

- Hurry up!
- What's going on?

Run! I said run!

Hey you!

Hey, you! Move!

Fuck!

Wait, sir!

Be careful!

Careful!

Come here!

Get in the room.

This way!

He looks like a fuckin' grizzly.

Get on the bed.

Get the bed!

- Get out of here!
- Open this door!

Hurry up, fuck, we're not Superman!

- You blocked the door?
- We're just feeding him.

Go fuck yourself.

Yeah, go fuck yourself!

- Hey, Prune!
- She's got great energy!

You've got great energy!

It's ready, my baby.

Give him to me.

Come with me, baby.

- You sure it's not too hot?
- It's not even warm.

Give him to me.

No, Mom, I can do it.

- Girls, cool!
- Come here, sit down.

You're giving off bad energy!

Come on, baby, eat!

He doesn't want to eat.

Hurry up!

He doesn't want to eat.

- You have to sing a song.
- Eat!

Your lullaby.

Come on, Manu.

Please, they're on their way!

My superiors are coming!

Why do I have a family on lockdown
in my hospital?

Fellow worker...

No. You have five minutes,
or I call the police.

You called the Aloka's?

Yes, I did.

- What were you thinking?
- About Benjamin!

I know what to do.
They're never getting the child back.

They just came to feed him!

They locked him up in my hospital,
it's a hijack!

I'm calling the police.

No, please! Don't call!

I'll take care of it.

Claire!

I'm not a locksmith.

- Let's kick it down.
- Wait.

- Come on.
- Wait for the director.

- Madam, please.
- Move.

Paul? Sali?

Open the door right now,
it's Mrs. Mallet.

Claire Mallet.

I can see you, Zlatan.

She recognized me.

Come out right away with Benjamin.

They've sent a negotiator.

We are not leaving
until my godson burps.

This is our conditions.

So, we need pacifiers,

clothes and diapers.

Shut your mouth.

We also want pizza. You have 15 minutes.
Who wants a Four cheese?

Everything I've done, it's for Benjamin.

It wasn't against you.

We just wanted to feed him.

The police will be here any minute.
Come out before it's too late.

We won't be able to help.

There must be snipers everywhere.

Grandma's here.

What should we do?

I can't hold them any longer.

We're sitting ducks, fuck.

Please.

It'll be OK, my love.

Sorry, we didn't want
to create any problem.

Promise me,
you'll find him a nice family.

No but...

You're his family. I'm sorry...

I did everything wrong.

Because it never happened before.

You'll be the first.

You are a wonderful family.

I don't understand.

That's what we'll say to the Council.

He burped.

Thank you, Mrs. Mallet.

So, what do we do?

Nothing.

Mamita, we made it.

We don't kick it down then.

You see, Benjamin, we stay together.

Thank you, Anna.

Benjamin, you're the best, buddy!

Yeah!

Bravo!

My sweet Lamine!

You are adorable.

Say hello to Grandpa.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, Benjamin

Happy birthday to you

So, at three.

1, 2,

three!

You blew out his candles.
You got ripped off, buddy.

Knife.

He'll sleep, I think.

Now, that all's well that ends well,

what about the circumcision?

Paul!

Agatha, don't lie.

Agatha, don't lie.

He's not my son, you know that.

He's not my son, we can see that.

He's not my son,
even if it's yours.

Agatha, you're lying.

I'm telling you you're lying.

You heard me.

Me, your husband,
Did I ask you to lie?

Your child, your son, here.
Everyone knows he's not mine.

How could you come,
and speak nonsense, Agatha?

You are black from foot to head
like me.

So how could you birth a white child?

Saying it's mine?

Agatha, don't lie.

Agatha, don't lie.

He's not my son, you know that.

He's not my son, we can see that.

He's not my son,
even if it's yours.

Agatha,
you think I'm crazy?

Listen, you can still serve me
a little palm wine.

But no more lies.

Your child, it's been a month
since he's born.

And until now, he still hasn't
taken the local color.

And you keep on saying
he's my son.

Agatha, really, what is this big lie?

In the daylight,
in front of everyone?

Pour me a drink, pour me a drink.

At least that's a good deal.

My mother was right when she was saying:

Son, your wife is going to give you
a hard time, I'm telling you.

And she started by giving me
a white child.

And she says he's my son.

And she thinks I'll believe it,
like an idiot.

Now that you've decided
to make multicolor kids,

tell me, how will the next one be?

One day, you'll make a green child,
and say he's black.

I'm warning you, if he's green
say the child is green.

Don't lie to me saying he's black.
