I've been working hard for 40 years and I haven't gotten anything, Son

Step on the gas pedal, Dad

Push, you lazy Issam!

It's not going out this way Fathi, it needs a winch!

Listen to me

Let's call someone to help us

- There's no service here - Let's walk then

- There's no service here - Let's walk then

We'll be there in three or four days if we walk

How about we walk to the highway

We might find a good person who can help us

We can't walk this road at night, Safaa

We can't walk this road at night, Safaa

It's hopeless

It's hopeless

We are a miserable family

Issam

What?

I know you're a mean bastard

But you're the fittest one of us

Go to the highway and ask for help

Go to the highway and ask for help

- He's your nephew, you gentleman - Let's say I am a gentleman

Who would trust someone who looks like this

and come to this remote place with his car?

and come to this remote place with his car?

Fathi

Is this a car or am I imagining things?

Listen, Safaa

Take Zeko, get in the car, and lock it

Take Zeko, get in the car, and lock it

- Why? What's wrong? - No normal cars pass through here

That car belongs either to the authorities or to drug smugglers

That car belongs either to the authorities or to drug smugglers

Take Zeko, get in the car, and lock it

- I won't leave you alone, Fathi - Do as I tell you!

- Come on! Come on! - Fine, as you wish

- Come on! Come on! - Fine, as you wish

Take these stones, Dad

If you feel in danger from the car that's coming here

Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Who are you?

and what brought you here?

Excuse me, but who's asking, who are you?

We are researchers doing research in this reserve

We are researchers doing research in this reserve

Sorry, we were driving and got lost

Then, our car got stuck as you can see

Then, our car got stuck as you can see

Don't we have towing equipment?

Give me the towing equipment from the car

- Okay - Thank you very much

- Okay - Thank you very much

We will be a heavy burden on you

- Danger, Fathi! - What is going on?

What is going on?

What is going on?

What is going on? What is going on?

Dad!

Dad!

They're helping us, Dad!

- Danger, Fathi! - Uncle Khamis!

- Stop, Dad! - They're helping us, Dad!

Pull, Researcher!

Thank you very much

You really saved us

We are sorry for what my dad did as he is an old man who loves women

We are sorry for what my dad did as he is an old man who loves women

- He's very forgetful - It's okay

- Where are you headed? - To Siwa

My son is a genius, one of the three smartest kids in Egypt

My son is a genius, one of the three smartest kids in Egypt

Awesome, he's a genius

He's so clever, tell her what three by three is

- Nine, Mom - Great, God bless you

Did you come this way?

Why didn't you follow the highway?

Why didn't you follow the highway?

Because we stole this man's car...

It's hot

It's hot on the highway

You must wait till morning if you want to keep driving through the reserve

You must wait till morning if you want to keep driving through the reserve

so you can see the road ahead

So what happened to you doesn't happen again, at least

I have an idea

Come to our camp

It's nearby and our colleagues are there, instead of sitting alone

It's nearby and our colleagues are there, instead of sitting alone

What's wrong with that, Fathi?

We'll have fun with them, instead of sitting in this lonely place

As you wish, Safaa

"Believe me, if it were up to me"

"Believe me, if it were up to me"

"I would've carried you in my veins"

"I'd burn myself to light your way"

"I'd burn myself to light your way"

"I would've broken through the barriers and paved your way"

"I would've collected the goods of the world for you"

"I would've collected the goods of the world for you"

"I would've been a star that lights up your nights"

"I would've removed all your worries with my palm"

"I would've hid you in my arms and turned your fear into safety"

"I would've hid you in my arms and turned your fear into safety"

"Humor us and lead us, Life"

"Humor us and lead us, Life"

"Humor us and lead us, Life"

"Humor us and lead us, Life"

"Humor us and lead us, Life"

"Humor us and lead us, Life"

What are you doing here, Researcher?

We are research medicinal herbs

Meaning, we conduct studies and research on plants

Meaning, we conduct studies and research on plants

to extract medicines and cures for many diseases from them

Like the "Cat", "Border" and "Grass Beans" herbs

So, you're geniuses like Zewail

We're not like him, of course, as our specialty is different from his

If you're talking about the Nobel Prize I hope Zakaria will win it like him

If you're talking about the Nobel Prize I hope Zakaria will win it like him

Aren't you a genius, Zeko?

Very much so, Ma'am

How much is the monthly salary of a genius, Researcher?

It is not money that matters, but the value of what he gives people

It is not money that matters, but the value of what he gives people

That's what I want you to realize from now, Zakaria, don't think about money

Think of a way to benefit and help people when you get a Nobel Prize

Think of a way to benefit and help people when you get a Nobel Prize

Forget about that, Genius

We follow the "give me my money first" policy

We follow the "give me my money first" policy

It is our first priority

That's right, Uncle Issam

I have to go

I have to go

Do you think we'll see Zeko win a Nobel Prize like Ahmed Zewail?

That would be great, Fathi

That would be great, Fathi

Schools will be named after him

Streets will be named after him

- Zakaria Fathi School - Yes

- Zakaria Fathi School - Yes

Just like the Ahmed Abdo School

I'd be driving the car

Then, someone stops me and asks for an address

and I tell them, "Look"

"Walk to the end of Zakaria Fathi Street"

"Walk to the end of Zakaria Fathi Street"

"Then turn right"

I feel like I'm dreaming

I'm dreaming for the first time, Fathi

I'm dreaming for the first time, Fathi

We're really dreaming, Safaa

But we're dreaming of something that we can see come true in front of us

But we're dreaming of something that we can see come true in front of us

I think this is the purpose of our lives

Yes

To dream, try, stumble get up and keep trying

You must be wondering, "How did the ignorant Safaa come up with this?"

Not at all

Not at all

You don't need to go to school to say something like that

I think what we've been through on the road since yesterday

is more than enough

is more than enough

Fathi

Promise me something that our Lord will bear witness to

Promise me something that our Lord will bear witness to

If you meet another woman someday

and marry her

Never forget what we dreamed of for Zakaria, Fathi

Never forget what we dreamed of for Zakaria, Fathi

How can I find a woman like you?

and how can I find a woman, who this abaya suits as much as it suits you?

and how can I find a woman, who this abaya suits as much as it suits you?

Are you serious, Fathi?

Of course, I'm serious

Listen

Remember the song we used to sing when we were engaged?

"The pretty girl is in a good mood"

"The pretty girl is in a good mood"

"and the cool people are driving"

"Why are pretty people under all this pressure?"

"Come a little closer"

"Come a little closer"

- Listen - What's the matter?

I see there is an empty tent

I think it's missing one thing

It's missing a beautiful abaya

- What are you saying, Fathi? - Listen to me

- What are you saying, Fathi? - Listen to me

- In the desert? - In the desert

- Among the researchers? - Among the researchers

We haven't been together in an empty place in a long time

We haven't been together in an empty place in a long time

But I look bad and I'm not at my best

- That's what I want - No, please

Come on, you look so beautiful

Come on, you look so beautiful

You are so beautiful, come on

- Come on - Fathi

- Fathi - What's the matter, Dad?

- Fathi - What's the matter, Dad?

I remember where I put the letter

Go to bed quickly, Dad, please

Go to bed quickly, Dad, please

Quickly, quickly

Thank you very much

We don't know how to repay you

We didn't do anything but take care of Zakaria

We didn't do anything but take care of Zakaria

and don't go back to where you were

We'll take good care of Zakaria

We'll take good care of Zakaria

Give me your phone number and I'll call you to tell you about Zakaria

Come on, Uncle Khamis, get in the car

Don't you need anything before you leave?

Yes

If you offer us one of your tents you'll have done us a great favor

If you offer us one of your tents you'll have done us a great favor

- Fathi! - The abaya

Your abaya, Safaa

Would you like to spend another night here and forget about the contest?

Would you like to spend another night here and forget about the contest?

Oh my God! Our son's future!

Come on, let's go

- Come on, thank you, dear - Come on

- Come on, thank you, dear - Come on

- Bye, Zeko - Bye, Researcher

Thank you very much

They turned out to be good and wonderful people

Of course, I hope we see Zeko like them and even better than them

Of course, I hope we see Zeko like them and even better than them

I hope he becomes a researcher

What are these cars that are parked there?

They must be researchers

Oh my God, Fathi!

Stop right there!

Will they kill us? Who are they?

- Don't shoot! - Get out!

- Don't shoot! - Get out!

I have a kid!

Don't shoot, I'll get them out!

- Get out - What's wrong?

- Get out! - They're getting out!

- Get out! - They're getting out!

Get out!

Take it easy!

Take it easy!

Get down on the ground!

You'd point your gun at the face of a man of your father's age, you bastard?

- Stop, Dad, stop - Where's your dad? I'll scold him

- Stop, Dad, stop - Where's your dad? I'll scold him

He's pointing his gun at the face of a man his father's age, Fathi!

Please stop this, Uncle Khamis!

Please stop this, Uncle Khamis!

I'll slap him in the face he might wake up

Slap me, Dad!

Lower your weapon, Atwa!

Lower your weapon, Atwa!

Man!

You must respect the hearse

What will he gain if he wins the IQ contest?

What will he gain if he wins the IQ contest?

He'll be as great as the amazing Zewail

I will test his intelligence

- What's your name, boy? - Zakaria

- What's your name, boy? - Zakaria

Wow! He's brilliant!

Go to your mother, dear

What's wrong? Leave the kid alone we're not here to discuss his future

What's wrong? Leave the kid alone we're not here to discuss his future

We want to know what our fate is!

- Why are you yelling? - I'm not yelling!

- Stop, Fathi - Good evening, Ghandour

- Stop, Fathi - Good evening, Ghandour

Is this a new regiment?

You have nothing to do with them, sit down

What did you bring with you?

I brought you a super original German piece

Yes

Yes

- How much do you want for it? - It's 15,000

- Okay, I'll give you five - Five what?

- It's an original German piece - Did he kidnap us? I don't understand

Ask him

Did you say something?

- No, we're sorry - No, we're sorry

- No, we're sorry - No, we're sorry

- What do you think? - Don't argue, I don't like that

I'll only give you five thousand

Will you take them or should I bury you here?

Will you take them or should I bury you here?

- Bury me here? - Or here?

Okay then

This is 4500 pounds

I'll get the rest it and give it to you

Go now

Go now

Wow, did you see how much money is under his feet?

See how much criminals make per month?

Shut up!

Where were we?

We were saying that you should decide what exactly you want to do with us

We were saying that you should decide what exactly you want to do with us

Do you want to take the car or not? As we're on our way to a big event

I said that it is a hearse and has its sanctity, meaning I don't need it

I said that it is a hearse and has its sanctity, meaning I don't need it

Since it is a hearse, you don't need it and has its sanctity

Why are you keeping us here like prisoners?

- What do you want? - Shut up, Safaa

- What do you want? - Shut up, Safaa

Why are you yelling?

I'm not yelling!

Okay

Okay

Unscrew the car's four wheels, Atwa

- Wait, Atwa! - Back off a little bit

- Back off, didn't you say it's sacred? - Back off!

- Back off, didn't you say it's sacred? - Back off!

Yes, the car is different from the wheels

But how will they leave?

"They"? Aren't you with them?

"They"? Aren't you with them?

I want to make sure they'll be okay

Don't worry

Listen

Listen

What is his name?

Ghandour, Dad

Ghandour, Dad

Listen, Ghandour, my son

Death will come to us all

No human being will escape this hearse

Human beings, my son...

Human beings, my son...

What bout them?

What was I saying to him?

You were saying that we'll all ride in this hearse, Uncle Khamis

and no human being will escape it

Do you wish this for me, Safaa?

Do you wish this for me, Safaa?

That's enough, I got what he's trying to say

So, if I take this car

I may not find a hearse to take me to my grave when I die

What goes around comes around

Okay

Okay

I'm touched

- Atwa - Yes, sir?

- Just take the spare tire - At your command

What's the matter, sir?

What's the matter, sir?

Do you just have to steal anything?

Aren't I a thief?

Or did you meet me in a cafe?

Or did you meet me in a cafe?

Go now before I bury you here

Let's go, come on

Thank you very much

Thank you very much!

Listen, father of the genius

Don't go that way

Don't go that way

There is quicksand that will swallow you up

Drive on the paved road

Goodbye

Goodbye

What are you doing?

It's because we'll drive on the highway

This is no longer a hearse

This is no longer a hearse

- You're right, it's no longer a hearse - Let's move

- Let's go - Fathi

- Let's go - Fathi

I think we should put the casket on top of the car

So no one knows it's a hearse if they search it

- Come on, Zakaria - We don't need it anymore, Dad

- Come on, Zakaria - We don't need it anymore, Dad

Let's go, come on

- Come on, come on - Come on, Issam

Help your dad get into the car

Watch out, don't forget what we agreed upon, if we encounter an ambush

Watch out, don't forget what we agreed upon, if we encounter an ambush

Don't worry, Brother, we'd all sacrifice ourselves for the genius

Don't worry, Brother, we'd all sacrifice ourselves for the genius

Don't worry about it, Zakaria

I want you to focus to win

Don't worry about yourself and keep your eyes on the road

I love you when you're as confident as me

Bring us joy, Zakaria, for we haven't been happy in a long time

Don't worry, I will win this contest

- God bless you! - So, are you up to the challenge?

What's wrong?

Zakaria is not in the contest, Safaa

What do you mean he's not in the contest?

Turns out it's someone with a similar name

Another kid is supposed to take Zakaria's place

and we got the letter by mistake

No, Fathi

Stop it, I know your silly jokes

Please don't scare me

Please don't scare me

You can't joke about such matters in particular

No, Fathi

My son Zakaria is smart and intelligent

They might be saying this to disqualify him from the contest

They might be saying this to disqualify him from the contest

You saw the mother of the kid we met

She must have the power and nepotism plays a part in this

She must have the power and nepotism plays a part in this

Isn't that right, Fathi?

They must've disqualified him because we're poor and helpless

They must've disqualified him because we're poor and helpless

They're being unfair to our son

No, please, Fathi

No, please, Fathi

Please don't say this to me

We don't want our son to be like us

We finally had a dream, Fathi

Please, Fathi

I found them and put them on top of the TV

I found them and put them on top of the TV

On top of the TV?

What good will they do me on top of the TV?

I thought you'd see them and take them

I didn't see them, Safaa! What do I do now?

I didn't see them, Safaa! What do I do now?

He's been working for the man for a long time

We'll return it to him and sort it out when we get back

Please don't waste our son's future, sir

Please don't waste our son's future, sir

Don't you see the situation, Safaa?

I'll take the fall, Fathi

What are you saying? The punishment is going to prison, Issam

What are you saying? The punishment is going to prison, Issam

It doesn't matter, keep going and don't mind me

No, it's not your fault

Say something, Safaa

You should be with Zakaria

He can't enter the contest knowing his dad is in jail, how will he focus?

He can't enter the contest knowing his dad is in jail, how will he focus?

Don't worry about me, your brother knows what to do

What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?

What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?

This is my first time witnessing your chivalry

You are right about that

I've always been useless

I've always been useless

I tried to be a decent human being, but failed

I tried to sing, but my voice was as ugly as my face

Maybe God created me to help this kid

Maybe God created me to help this kid

Listen, sir

I'm the one who stole the car, sir it's not any of those people's fault

So, will you take responsibility?

We're a family, sir, handcuff me and get it over with please

Put him in handcuffs

We'll meet again, Issam

We'll meet again, Brother

It's not like I'm going to Iraq

Wait eight years and you'll find me in front of you, okay?
